Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

After traveling for several days, the three arrived at a town within the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

This isn't a big city like Shrek City, but it's not small either.

"Armor Guy, you guys go ahead and get busy, I can handle things here."

"Is your body alright, young man?"

"It's alright, Armor Bro. My body has almost fully recovered by now."

Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile. Although he had some difficulty moving around at first, he was fine now.

"Alright, then my brother and I will head out first. Don't push yourself too hard, young man."

As soon as he finished speaking, the armored man followed the man in the trench coat out of the room, leaving Huo Yuhao alone.

After the two left, Huo Yuhao gently lifted his shirt, revealing the silver belt he was wearing around his waist.

After staring at it for a moment, Huo Yuhao finally reached out and took off the belt that had saved his life.

The moment the belt was removed, a feeling of weakness washed over him from all parts of his body. Huo Yuhao's legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, the boy quickly managed to prop himself up, getting up from the ground before collapsing weakly onto the bed.

"Huff~, huff~"

Gasping sounds filled the room, and cold sweat silently spread across the boy's entire body.

At this moment, the boy looked like someone who had just finished extreme training and was completely exhausted.

"I didn't expect such a big reaction after I took off my belt."

After catching his breath, Huo Yuhao, who had collapsed onto the bed, turned to look at the belt in his right hand and gained a new understanding of its wonders.

This was the first time Huo Yuhao had taken off his belt, and he never expected to become so weak after doing so.

Staring at the belt with its magical energy, Huo Yuhao's right hand instinctively reached out to grip it tightly.

Just as he gripped her hand tightly, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to release it, and at the same time forcibly turned his head to the other side, no longer looking at the belt.

He didn't want to cause any more trouble for Armor Guy and his crew; he didn't want to continue relying on that belt.

The sooner he gets rid of the belt, the sooner he can return it to the armored guys.

The boy's thoughts were simple; he just wanted to do his part to help his benefactor, no matter how insignificant his strength was.

After lying on the bed for a while, when his breathing became less labored, Huo Yuhao was finally able to sit up with difficulty.

"Phew~"

Exhaling a long breath, Huo Yuhao slowly stood up, supporting his trembling legs.

The boy stood up and took deep breaths, then gritted his teeth, resisting the aches and weakness that came from all over his body.

He plans to gradually adapt to his current weakness, at least to be able to perform some simple activities.

"Luckily, Armor Bro told me about the rehabilitation training after removing the belt, so now I can give it a try."

Recalling the rehabilitation training that Armored Brother had mentioned, Huo Yuhao struggled to move his legs and tried to walk slowly in the small room.

The belt that could eliminate weakness lay quietly on the bed, but Huo Yuhao did not look at it. He simply silently adapted to his extremely weak body.

Even though he was weak all over, the boy's perseverance supported him and helped him gradually adapt to his body.

Just as Huo Yuhao was gradually getting used to his body, the door was suddenly opened.

Are Armor Guy and the Boss back?

Why are you back so early today...?

Huo Yuhao looked over at the sound, but when his gaze fell on the doorway, the boy's pupils suddenly contracted and his body tensed up instantly.

Standing at the door was a stranger dressed in a black robe and wearing a skull mask; a chilling aura filled the entire room with every breath.

"you……"

The next moment, Huo Yuhao's voice stopped abruptly, and his body collapsed.

bang~

"Another one..."

……

In the dark and damp room, Huo Yuhao slowly woke up.

Although he gradually regained consciousness, Huo Yuhao's body remained weak.

Huo Yuhao tried to open his eyes, but he soon found that his eyes and mouth were covered, and his hands and feet were tied up.

Where is this place?

How long has he been held here?

Who is that man in black robes?!

Huo Yuhao had no idea how long he had been captured, nor did he know if any of the men in black were with him.

But he knew that if he continued to wait like this, what awaited him probably wouldn't be anything good.

He needs to find a way to escape this place.

However, being so weak, he could hardly think of any way to escape.

Although Huo Yuhao was used to carrying the White Tiger Dagger with him, he brought the White Tiger Dagger with him.

However, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that his mother's belongings were no longer with him.

At this moment, he was weak, his hands and feet were bound, and his movements were restricted. He couldn't even see where he was...

There is absolutely no chance of escape for me right now.

What should I do?

The boy kept thinking about ways to escape, but none of them were feasible.

While Huo Yuhao was anxious and at a loss, he suddenly heard some strange noises coming from below him.

No, he not only heard it, he even personally felt the unusual vibration!

What is that?!

bang~

Huo Yuhao felt a few pebbles fall on him, and then suddenly realized that the ropes binding his hands and feet seemed to have... broken?

Before Huo Yuhao could figure out what was going on, the cloth covering his eyes was torn off.

His vision returned, but Huo Yuhao was stunned when he saw the situation in front of him.

What stood before him was not a human, but a giant red mechanical beetle!

The beetle was entirely red, with a single, sharp horn standing upright in the center, and a round dial with flowing dark patterns embedded in the center of its carapace. Six exquisite silver mechanical insect legs were tucked under its abdomen.

The red beetle flapped its wings, looking around Huo Yuhao, and occasionally bobbing up and down as if it were very excited.

Huo Yuhao sat up, pulled the cloth off his mouth, and stared at the red beetle with some surprise:

"Did you come to save me?"

The red beetle stood upright and swayed its body, as if answering the boy's question.

Although he didn't know what the red beetle was, he seemed to have no choice but to believe it for the time being.

Huo Yuhao slowly got up and began to check the surrounding situation.

He found himself in a dilapidated wooden hut with a rotten floor, nailed-together windows, and a broken wooden door nearby.

There was a small hole in the floor near him, which was probably the way the red beetle came in.

He wasn't the only one in this dilapidated hut; there were several other children who had also been captured and were still unconscious.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao found something familiar in the corner of the room: the White Tiger Dagger.

Since they only captured children, they didn't care much and just casually threw their things aside.

Before Huo Yuhao could think further, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside the door.

Someone's coming!
