Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King.

Some tree trunks bear deep axe marks, some have their bark stripped off in pieces, and some have even been uprooted, leaving only a huge pit.

These signs of damage are still fresh, clearly made not long ago.

Huo Yuhao felt a slight chill and subconsciously expanded the range of his mental detection.

On this unfamiliar Douluo Continent, anything can happen, so it's always good to be more prepared.

Especially now that I'm all alone.

The soul-guided vehicle lowered its altitude, flying close to the treetops. Huo Yuhao's mental detection was like an invisible net, enveloping the vehicle completely.

The forest was quiet.

There were no birdsong, no insect chirping, only the rustling of the wind through the leaves.

Huo Yuhao's gaze swept around him, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

Just as he was about to speed up and leave the forest, Huo Yuhao spotted a cave on the downhill slope.

The cave entrance was hidden by dense vines, and it would be impossible to find without careful observation, but under Huo Yuhao's mental detection, nothing could hide.

When he probed the interior of the cave with his spiritual power, his pupils suddenly contracted!

On the stone walls on both sides of the cave, there are more than a dozen human skins hanging!

The human skin was completely peeled off and hung on the stone wall with iron hooks, swaying slightly in the cold cave.

The color is still very fresh, and you can vaguely see blood seeping out from under the skin, which means it was made not long ago!

Huo Yuhao gripped the control stick tightly with both hands, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Evil Soul Master.

Another evil spirit master.

Previously in the wilderness, they had encountered six evil spirit masters who massacred a village; those heartless beasts.

Why are there so many evil soul masters on the Douluo Continent?

Unexpectedly, they encountered traces of evil spirit masters again in this warm forest.

Moreover, there are human skins hanging in this cave...

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He didn't impulsively rush in.

Does anyone know if there are any evil spirit masters in the cave? Does anyone know what kind of traps are inside?

He parked the soul-guided vehicle behind a large tree, concealed the fluctuations of his soul power, and silently made his way towards the cave.

Mental probing was fully launched, gradually revealing the situation inside the cave.

The cave was very deep, and it became wider the further you went in. Besides the human skins hanging on the stone walls, there were some simple stone tables and chairs, and bottles and jars were scattered on the ground, as well as... a dense mass of corpses.

Deep inside the cave, several figures could be vaguely seen.

Huo Yuhao was preparing to move closer so he could hear more clearly—

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of rough laughter suddenly came from the dense forest not far away.

The laughter carried a hint of smugness, arrogance, and a chilling cruelty.

"Brothers, we Death Messengers have done something big again! Those caravans had quite a lot of good stuff on them!"

Another voice chimed in, its tone full of flattery.

"Of course! When we, the messengers of death, take action, how can we fail? Those caravan guards didn't even get a touch on their clothes! They all became the boss's corpse slaves!"

"Boss is getting closer and closer to the Soul Emperor realm. Just a little longer..."

Huo Yuhao hid behind a thick Wenlan tree, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Death Messenger?

And... is the strongest one a Soul King?

And there are corpse slaves... Is this a martial spirit?

Huo Yuhao did not make any rash moves, but continued to listen patiently.

The thieves were still talking excitedly.

"By the way, the envoy said that a merchant caravan recently arrived from the Star Luo Empire, bringing quite a few good things. Once they enter our territory, hehe..."

"We're going to make a fortune again!"

Since he had encountered this situation, Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't ignore it.

Chapter 230: A Five-Ring Soul King can toy with a Super Douluo but can't beat a Four-Ring Soul Master?

Huo Yuhao crouched behind the thick Wenlan tree, his mental probe silently extending in all directions.

The situation inside the cave became increasingly clear.

Dozens of figures moved around in various corners of the cave; some were taking inventory of the stolen goods, some were drinking and chatting, and some were lying in a corner fast asleep.

Their soul power fluctuations were uneven, with most falling between the second and third rings, and only two possessing stronger auras, reaching the level of a fifth-ring Soul King.

Huo Yuhao silently assessed the difference in strength between the two sides.

With his current strength, he wouldn't be without a chance of winning if he faced off against these dozens of evil soul masters head-on.

After all, his soul ring configuration, soul skill power, and combat experience far surpass those of other soul masters of the same level.

However, Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over the densely packed skeletons in the cave and the human skins hanging on the stone walls, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Corpse slave".

The bandits just mentioned this term, so their martial spirit and abilities must be related to the corpse.

Moreover, the cave is their territory, and there might be some traps hidden inside.

Rushing in rashly is too risky.

Huo Yuhao's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a plan.

"Lure them out? No way."

He shook his head, dismissing the idea.

Although he can use mental attacks to launch long-range attacks, once he takes action, it will definitely alert the people inside.

If the other party scatters and runs away, it will be difficult for him to stop them all by himself.

If a few escape and go on to harm others, that would be troublesome.

The best approach is to give them no chance to react and resolve the issue all at once.

Huo Yuhao raised his wrist and glanced at the storage soul tool.

There were also several pills inside to restore mental strength, which he had exchanged for with contribution points at the academy, just in case.

That's enough.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and fixed his gaze on the direction of the cave, piercing through the layers of trees.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up!

Soul shock!

An invisible mental wave shot out from between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows, like an invisible giant hammer, and smashed into every consciousness inside the cave!

Silently, the dozens of evil spirit masters inside the cave all froze in their tracks at the same instant.

Some people were raising their glasses, their hands frozen in mid-air; some were speaking with their mouths open, their voices abruptly stopping; and some were lying in a corner snoring, their snores suddenly ceasing.

Their eyes became empty and dull, their pupils dilated, and they looked like puppets whose souls had been taken away.

Three seconds later.

"Thump—thump—thump—"

One body after another fell down, lying haphazardly on the ground.

Some knocked over stone tables, spilling wine and food all over the ground; some rolled off stone chairs and hit their companions; and some fell directly from a height with a dull thud.

Dozens of evil soul masters, including the two leaders who were five-ring soul kings, all lost consciousness.

Huo Yuhao withdrew his mental probe and shook his head slightly.

Launching a soul attack on so many targets at once does consume a lot of mental energy, but it's still acceptable for me at my current level.

It was more than enough to deal with the second and third ring evil spirit masters who had never received any special training in mental power, as well as the two leaders who, although they were fifth ring masters, still had weak mental power.

He took out a pill to restore his mental energy, put it in his mouth, and chewed it gently twice. The pill transformed into a warm current that flowed into his sea of ​​consciousness, and his depleted mental energy began to slowly recover.

Huo Yuhao emerged from behind the tree and strode towards the cave.

He brushed aside the vines hanging from the cave entrance, and a putrid stench wafted towards him. He frowned slightly, held his breath, and stepped into the cave.

On the stone wall, the human skins were still swaying slightly, looking particularly eerie in the dim light. Bones and debris were scattered on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and decay.

Huo Yuhao didn't pay much attention to those things, but instead walked to the middle of the group of fallen evil soul masters.

He crouched down, placing one hand on the ground.

The next moment, the ice-attribute soul power within his body surged wildly!

Click—click—click—

A thin layer of frost spread from his palm, expanding in all directions at an astonishing speed! The frost covered the ground, the stone walls, and the evil spirit masters who had fallen to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of the bandits' corpses were frozen into ice sculptures.

Huo Yuhao stood up, his gaze sweeping over the ice sculptures, and coldly uttered a single word.

"broken."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it lightly.

Snap—Snap—Bang!

One ice sculpture shattered first, turning into countless tiny ice crystals that scattered all over the ground. Then, a second, a third, a fourth...

Ice crystals splattered everywhere, refracting tiny rays of light in the dark cave.

In just a few breaths, dozens of ice sculptures turned into crystalline fragments, mingling with the bones and dust on the ground, making them indistinguishable from one another.

Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand and was about to turn and leave.

His mental detection suddenly detected a scent.

The aura was rapidly approaching from outside the cave, emanating a strong aura of malevolence and the stench of blood; clearly, it belonged to an evil spirit master.

Moreover, its strength is not weak, even stronger than those I just wiped out. Could this be the leader?

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed, and he flashed into the shadows at the entrance of the cave.

He suppressed the fluctuations of his soul power, and even slowed his breathing.

The footsteps grew closer.

The man was humming an unknown tune, his steps light and quick, clearly in a good mood. He pushed aside the vines, walked into the cave, and then froze.

"What...what's going on?!"

The evil spirit master stared wide-eyed, his face full of bewilderment.

He was perfectly fine when he left, so how come he came back like this...?

His gaze swept over the ice crystal fragments on the ground, and suddenly he realized something, his pupils contracting sharply.

"Oh no! Who is it?!"

He turned and ran outside!

"The one who will kill you is Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy."

An invisible spiritual needle silently pierced his mind.

The spiritual energy condensed into a needle, as thin as a hair, yet incredibly sharp. It pierced through the evil soul master's spiritual defenses, directly stabbing into his sea of ​​consciousness and instantly pulverizing his consciousness!

The evil spirit master's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes rolled back instantly, and he fell straight backward like a piece of wood, crashing heavily to the ground.
