Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 65 Xuanzi's carelessness, Elder Evil Soul Master!
I can hear something in the air.

Flames erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body, something crackling and burning, wisps of gray smoke rising and stubbornly clinging to the outer layer of the flames.

"This stuff is poisonous; even my evil fire can't burn it off. Be careful not to inhale it," Ma Xiaotao warned.

"You discovered it very quickly," Moon affirmed. "It's a poisonous barrier that's spreading out. Even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts dare not enter the center. The poisonous barrier affects their senses and makes them lose their way. If they can't get out, they can only die inside. That's why Shrek Academy hasn't sent many people in to search for it over the years."

—If it weren't for the guidance of that demigod, he wouldn't have been able to painstakingly search through this poisonous barrier, inch by inch.

"Xiao Yuhao, Wang Dong, what do you think we should do to solve this?" Xuanzi asked, testing them.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance and flew into the sky together.

Ma Xiaotao was a beat slow, but immediately grasped the meaning and took flight.

At about 300 meters, my vision suddenly brightened and the light returned to normal.

Ascending to a height of 1,000 meters, one can see a multicolored, gradient hemisphere upside down in the sunset forest.

Xuanzi and Mu En, who followed, were both smiling.

Who doesn't like a clever and quick-witted child?

“Wait here,” Moon said seriously. “This poisonous barrier is constantly changing, and that place isn’t in the center. It will take some effort to find it. Wait for me to give the signal before you go down.”

"Yes!"×3
Mu En transformed into a dragon and swooped into the poisonous barrier. His light-attribute soul power purified the poisonous mist, clearing a huge passage.

But in the blink of an eye, it was filled by the surrounding poisonous barrier.

It's like a hellish place that devours people without spitting out the bones, sending chills down your spine.

"I never expected that place would be here."

Xuanzi sighed—

“Even I wouldn’t dare to venture too far into this place. If it weren’t for your brother Lan’s guidance, Xiao Yuhao, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have discovered this place even in ten thousand years.”

"But as far as I know, although that place has immortal herbs that are said to possess the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth, there are no soul beasts there, right?"

"Xiao Yuhao, how do you obtain your second spirit ring?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head blankly.

Lan Ge didn't mention it, so he didn't ask.

Would Brother Lan possibly harm himself?
Xuanzi pondered for a moment and did not ask any further questions.

In any case, since that demigod has spoken, he must have a backup plan.

You'll find out soon enough.

They hovered at an altitude of 1,000 meters for more than ten minutes.

Finally, a beam of light shot into the sky, about three kilometers away.

"gone!"

Xuanzi gave a shout and took the lead in clearing the way.

The speed was a bit too fast, which caused Ma Xiaotao and the other two to become somewhat out of sync.

Huo Yuhao used his mental power to wrap around Wang Dong's waist and Ma Xiaotao's arm.

They then rushed into the poisonous barrier.

Visibility dropped to just a few meters, and the once bright beam of light vanished in an instant.

There are no reference points around except for gravity.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't bound them together with his mental power beforehand, the three of them would have accidentally broken up.

As for Xuanzi, who led the charge, he has disappeared without a trace.

"This calf really doesn't know how to take care of people," Zhuge Lan complained. "No wonder there are always all sorts of accidents when he leads a team."

Huo Yuhao didn't ask any further questions.

He used his mental power to protect himself and Wang Dong, and could clearly hear the hissing sound of corrosion as his mental power was rapidly depleted.

Left with no other choice, he donned the emerald crown and activated his Soul Bone Skill: Spirit Storage.

Ma Xiaotao was also engulfed in flames, burning with poisonous gas and scattering thick layers of ashes.

"No, we can't find the location!" Ma Xiaotao shouted, "Go up and reposition!"

"Good!" Fortunately, gravity was still there, and fortunately, all three of them could fly.

Otherwise, one will be completely lost in this poisonous barrier and die in endless fear.

Once back in the sun's embrace, a pillar of light shot into the sky just a hundred meters away.

So close?
"That old Xuan is really something, he never learns his lesson," Ma Xiaotao muttered.

This person just can't stand being nagged, and the next moment Xuanzi also rushed out of the poison barrier.

Upon seeing the three figures, his expression softened considerably.

"Didn't I tell you to stay close? Why did you fall behind?"

Huo Yuhao and the other two: "."

What a clever way to turn the tables!
"Don't you know how fast you fly?" Ma Xiaotao boldly spoke up, "If it weren't for Xiao Yuhao's carefulness, Wang Dong might be buried underneath right now!"

Only when Ma Xiaotao's level is high enough and her evil fire is strong enough can she burn the poison gas.

Huo Yuhao's mental energy is of exceptionally high quality, capable of isolating him from poisonous gas.

What does Wang Dong have?
The passive purification provided by the Goddess of Light Butterfly would deplete his soul power in just a few minutes.

Xuanzi realized his mistake belatedly, and his face showed regret.

"It was my oversight."

He waved his hand and set up a soul power barrier, protecting Huo Yuhao and the other two while firmly confining them around himself.

"I'll guide you from now on."

He continued to descend following the beam of light.

Visibility slowly improved until it expanded to over a hundred meters.

A stunning expanse of emerald green came into view. Upon closer inspection, it was a cluster of emerald green plants, with a faint emerald green mist rising upwards and gradually spreading outwards to merge into the seven-colored poisonous miasma.

"Chi chi chi——"

The soul power barrier set up by Xuanzi is actually "boiling"!
The poisonous gas here can even corrode a level 98 soul power?

Simply terrible!
"So many Azure Phosphorous Seven-Colored Flowers? And some have even evolved into Azure Phosphorous Nine-Colored Flowers?" Xuanzi exclaimed in surprise. "In the outside world, a single plant-type Soul Master would be worth a fortune, yet here they grow in abundance, stretching as far as the eye can see? Just these alone could create a top-tier plant-type academy!"

"Don't touch those Seven-Colored Azure Flowers, they'll retaliate," Moon's voice came. "Just tough it out and circle around from the sky."

The four did as instructed and rushed into the even denser poisonous clouds in the sky.

The hissing sound of corrosion was incessant, but it wasn't a big problem for Xuanzi.

They reunited safely with Moon.

Xuanzi glanced back at the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorescence, still harboring some thoughts.

"Stop looking," Mu En said slowly. "That was obviously planted to cover up the treasure land. It was planted by our predecessors and will be a barrier we need in the future."

Xuanzi smacked his lips.

"How about picking one before you leave, so you can taste it?"

"I've heard this stuff tastes amazing. If you find a plant that's a bit younger, it should be able to handle it."

Everyone: "."

No wonder it has the Gluttonous Beast spirit; it's incredibly greedy.

Ma Xiaotao covered her head.

Next time I go out with Elder Xuan, I have to be more careful. He might go out to find food and not care about me.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong also had subtle expressions.

"That's why I look down on this guy. He must have been a sacrificial teammate to reach level 98," Zhuge Lan complained.

"Sacrifice your teammates?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

"You can think of it as a trick used by evil spirit masters."

"No, that can't be. Shrek Academy also has an inspection team that specifically hunts down evil soul masters," Huo Yuhao retorted.

"Heh." Zhuge Lan sneered, "Little Yuhao, you're still too young. We'll talk about these things later. Let's seize the opportunities here first."
