Everyone looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion. This place was on high ground, and although it was somewhat secluded, it was too far away to be suitable for observation.

Huo Yuhao didn't explain anything, but simply took out several double-barreled items connected together from his storage device.

Only a few people recognized it, including Xu Yang in the distance. He looked astonished. Wasn't this a telescope? Xu Yang also wanted to make one, but he was still in the lens-grinding stage.

Huo Yuhao handed the binoculars to his three girlfriends, as well as Old Song and Zhang Lexuan, and said to the others with a slightly apologetic tone, "I only made these few binoculars. You can take a look after we've finished observing."

When Huo Yuhao said that this thing was called a telescope, everyone else guessed what it was for.

Gu Yuena and the other two girls all knew how to use a telescope; they pointed the thin tube side towards their eyes. Old Song and Zhang Lexuan followed suit, looking quite professional.

As soon as he put it on, Old Song exclaimed in surprise, "This thing can actually see so far! And it doesn't even require soul power!"

Huo Yuhao explained, "Actually, you can use soul power, but that's only when visibility is poor at night."

"I see it! The target is over there." Wang Dong'er pointed in a direction.

Huo Yuhao put on his binoculars and looked in that direction.

It was a hidden cave covered by vines, and it would have been hard to notice if it weren't for the several corpses outside.

"Dong'er, let me see too," Xiao Xiao pleaded.

Wang Dong'er handed her the binoculars.

"Really! Something that's several kilometers away seems so close. I saw it too."

Upon hearing this, the others also wanted to see just how powerful this telescope was.

Gu Yuena and Gu Qiu'er handed it to two people in the reserve team, Zhang Lexuan handed it to Ma Xiaotao, and Old Song handed it to Du Leisi.

When Du Leisi saw something several kilometers away appear as if it were right in front of him, he was so astonished that he couldn't speak for a moment. After a long while, he came to his senses, handed the binoculars to the others, and said to Huo Yuhao, "Brother Huo, did you make this? How much is it? We want to buy a lot!"

This thing is of great strategic value!

Huo Yuhao casually gave a number: "Ten thousand gold soul coins."

"This..." Upon hearing the exorbitant number, Durex hesitated. But considering that only a few commanders needed this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will report to the Marshal. The Marshal will also be at the Soul Fighting Tournament to maintain order. He will then discuss this with you."

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "I will entrust this business to the Tang Clan. Beibei, you'll have to work hard then. Ten percent of the commission will go to the Tang Clan."

Beibei quickly replied, "It's no trouble at all, thank you, Yuhao."

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi grabbed Bei Bei's neck and said, "Your Tang Clan is going to make a fortune! You'll earn a lot of gold soul coins from this deal. Don't forget your brother then!"

Beibei pushed aside the salted pig's trotters and said, "If you join the Tang Clan, you'll naturally get a share."

Jiang Nannan suddenly said, "I'll join."

Xu Sanshi asked in astonishment, "Why? Nannan?"

Ignoring Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan explained to Beibei, "With Teacher Huo's help, Xiaoya's Tang Clan will definitely grow stronger again. Joining now means you can become a veteran later. Xiaoya wouldn't treat veterans unfairly, would she?"

Beibei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Xiaoya when we get back from the competition."

Beibei knew Jiang Nannan's character. Although she came from a poor family, she was not greedy. She just wanted to make her family's life a little better because she had a mother to support.

"Then I'll join too!" Xu Sanshi immediately agreed.

Beibei glanced at him sideways: "Call me senior brother."

"roll!"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words from afar, Xu Yang felt as if his heart was bleeding.

This is a huge loss! How could Huo Yuhao be so greedy! Even if this telescope has elements of a soul tool, and some materials in Douluo Continent are indeed quite expensive, does the total cost even reach five gold soul coins? No way, when I invent a musket, I'll sell it for that price too!

With their objective clear, the group didn't hesitate any longer and hurried towards the cave.

While on the road, Huo Yuhao secretly used four soul skills: mental detection, illusion, simulation, and mental interference.

The mental probe revealed the specific situation inside the cave, the simulation kept everyone in the dark about what he had done, and the illusion and mental interference were intended to influence Xu Yang and Tang Yin.

The purpose is simple: to make both of them more impulsive. That evil spirit master must die, but he should at least have some value before he dies.

To Huo Yuhao's surprise, Tang Yin's mental strength was very strong, even stronger than that of an average Soul King, but he was easily influenced; while Xu Yang showed his expected level of mental strength, but he was difficult to influence, perhaps because... he was cowardly?

At the entrance of the cave, the group immediately lined up, with the inner courtyard students at the front. Ma Xiaotao was in front, Ling Luochen and Chen Zifeng on either side, Yao Haoxuan and Gongyang Mo in the middle, and Gu Ming—an inner courtyard student of the Soul Guidance Department—was at the very back.

The reserve team was arranged similarly. Huo Yuhao and his group were in the middle of the two teams. Du Leisi and his group were at the very back. Old Song, on the other hand, remained hidden, ready to be deployed at any moment.

After entering the cave, the group saw the horrific scene inside, and the faces of the members of the preliminary team turned pale. Jiang Nannan, in particular, screamed in fright.

The people in the inner courtyard were much calmer, but they still showed signs of anger.

The one who reacted the most was Tang Yin. He was indignant, as if he had a thousand rages burning inside him.

Upon seeing the corpses on the ground, Huo Yuhao ordered, "Dispose of all these corpses."

Ma Xiaotao asked, "Why? This will slow us down. What if that evil spirit master gets away?"

Huo Yuhao had examined the corpses and found that they could explode! However, he did not explain the reason: "These corpses are relatively intact. Since the evil soul master neither used them for cultivation nor as food, it means that the evil soul master may have left some kind of backup plan on these corpses. We must be on guard."

Trusting Huo Yuhao and finding his words reasonable, Ma Xiaotao followed his advice, igniting flames in her hands and turning the corpses to ashes.

Seeing this, the others also began to dispose of the corpses, though they weren't as efficient as Ma Xiaotao. They had wanted to do it for a long time; such a disgusting scene was unbearable if they weren't afraid of alerting the enemy.

The group continued to dispose of the bodies as they advanced. It took them quite a while to reach the innermost part of the area.

Several people were fighting, including three Soul Kings, and the bandit leader was one of them.

Ma Xiaotao took the lead and charged forward, with the others in the inner courtyard following closely behind.

Tang Yin couldn't help but rush forward, causing Old Song to frown. However, seeing that Tang Yin's target was weak, he didn't stop him, since he could save him in time anyway.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao quickly instructed Gu Yuena, "Na'er, burn all the corpses!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena waved her hands, and flames covered all the corpses, covering an area even larger than the area covered by Ma Xiaotao's flames.

These bandits were no match for the inner court students, and soon they were all killed, leaving only their leader, the evil soul master.

At this moment, he saw that he was the only one left, and the only corpses were those of the few who had just died; the rest had been burned. He could only curse angrily, "How dare you oppose the messenger of death! You will get your retribution sooner or later!"

The corpses on the ground suddenly swelled up, and the group quickly hid when they realized something was wrong.
