The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 25 Hunting the Dread Dragon

Before leaving, Huo Yuhao went to the Treasure Pavilion and spent a huge sum of money to buy three level-five disposable soul tools and invincible shields, costing 1.2 million gold soul coins.

Although the Heart Wall is currently unbreakable even by a Soul Master with a mediocre Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao is going to the Star Dou Great Forest alone this time to find rare Soul Beasts. He will need to go deep into the Mixed Zone. Under these circumstances, the Heart Wall's defense will not be so reliable. Just in case, he needs to at least buy time to enter the Undead Demiplane.

Huo Yuhao reluctantly bought three invincible shields. Although a level 5 soul tool requires at least the cultivation of a Soul King to activate, it was not difficult to do with the soul power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

At this point, Huo Yuhao had already spent all the overdraft limit given to him by Bei Bei, and only 500,000 gold soul coins remained in his card. Afterwards, Huo Yuhao purchased some soul beast materials and rare metal ores for spellcasting.

The 500,000 yuan is almost all gone, and Huo Yuhao is now broke again, but it was all worth it.

Huo Yuhao stored most of the supplies in the undead demiplane because of the necromancy control points set up by Hei Yuhao, so that the items would not be corrupted by the aura of death even if they were placed in the undead demiplane.

After his leave request was approved, Huo Yuhao finally set off and left Shrek City.

On the way, Huo Yuhao sensed several hidden auras following him, but with the help of his realism and mental detection, he managed to shake them off.

Five days later, Huo Yuhao finally arrived at the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest. During his overnight stays, he would directly enter the undead demiplane to avoid encountering danger.

Along the way, he encountered several other Soul Master teams that came to hunt Souls, but Huo Yuhao avoided them all by using mental detection and realistic mimicry.

For Huo Yuhao, contact with people could lead to unexpected events. After all, the people he encounters here may not all be characters from the original work. Their personalities, martial souls, and even whether they possess any strange soul skills are all uncertain. He has no absolute control over such situations, so it's better to avoid them all for the sake of caution.

The spirit rings that Huo Yuhao wanted to obtain were all from very rare spirit beasts, which might not even be encountered in the outer areas of the mixed zone. For example, the Fear Demon Dragon was a sub-dragon that liked to live in groups, and they mostly moved in groups in the dark forests near the core area.

It's not so certain about the Mind-Stealing Tiger, because as an evil soul beast, it is hated by everyone even in the soul beast world. It basically roams around the mixed zone, and you can encounter it anywhere.

Nightmares are extremely rare because they are born when the remaining spiritual energy of a large number of soul beasts or soul masters dies and then comes together.

That really comes down to luck.

After entering the core area, Huo Yuhao activated his Mind's Will, confident that he would be able to find a suitable soul beast this time. He then began to wander through the mixed area, using his mental detection to search for one.

Because of Huo Yuhao's caution, he would avoid any encounters with thousand-year-old soul beasts or unfamiliar soul masters, so his exploration speed was not fast.

However, three days after arriving in the mixed zone, Huo Yuhao finally made some gains.

According to the vague information recorded by Shrek Academy, he arrived at the habitat of a fear dragon.

Although it is called a habitat, due to the characteristics of the Dreaddragons, as sub-dragons they also act in groups, making them almost the dominant force in the mixed zone. The area they inhabit is too large.

Huo Yuhao finally found the area where they were.

After two more days of observation, Huo Yuhao discovered that the Dread Dragons only gather in groups when they are resting, and usually hunt alone.

This group of Dread Dragons is small, consisting of only about ten individuals.

The leader of them had a cultivation level of about 30,000 years, while the second was a fear dragon with a cultivation level of over 10,000 years.

The other fear dragons have cultivation levels ranging from a hundred to a thousand years.

Because of the lazy nature of dragon-type soul beasts, Huo Yuhao waited two more days before a fear dragon with a cultivation level of about one to two thousand years left its clan to go hunting.

Huo Yuhao activated his True Mimicry ability to conceal himself and quietly followed behind it. During this time, his mental detection continued to radiate outwards, but perhaps due to good luck, no other soul beasts or soul masters approached.

As the Dread Dragons gradually left their pack, Huo Yuhao refrained from making a move, intending to wait until they were hunting for prey before retaliating.

Because the food of the Fear Dragon is the fear of its prey, they often torture their prey for a long time. And because they live in groups, the spirit beasts in the area around the Fear Dragon are basically imprinted with a deep-rooted fear.

This is why the territory of the Fear Dragons is so vast; they hunt soul beasts imprinted with the mark of fear within their territory and feed on them at any time.

About an hour later, the Fear Dragon found a spotted cat with a cultivation level of about one thousand years. The spotted cat's fur stood on end the moment it saw it, and it was about to run away.

A deep roar from the Fear Dragon triggered the Fear Mark within the Spotted Cat. The Spotted Cat, which had been leaping into the air, fell uncontrollably to the ground, its limbs twitching and its eyes filled with terror.

Seeing this, the Fear Dragon also stepped forward and continued to torture the spotted cat with methods such as mental whipping, listening with a look of enjoyment to the spotted cat's painful cries.

Because of the radiation from the Fear Dragon swarm, the surrounding spirit beasts knew that the Fear Dragons were feeding when they heard the commotion, and under the influence of the fear imprint in their hearts, they all avoided it.

Seeing that the spotted cat's eyes were lifeless from the torment and it was panting heavily on the ground, the Fear Dragon knew that it could no longer extract any more spiritual power from it. It flicked its tail and prepared to leave, leaving the spotted cat to fend for itself.

The moment the Fear Dragon turned around, its six senses were disrupted by the mental connection and mental mimicry. A dagger, gleaming with white light, pierced directly through the Fear Dragon's heart. At the same time, Huo Yuhao, with the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's mental power, launched a powerful mental attack that directly shattered the Fear Dragon's consciousness.

Before the Fear Dragon could even realize what had happened, it collapsed to the ground. A purple soul ring floated up, its color suggesting it was between one and two thousand years old, roughly in line with Huo Yuhao's estimate.

Huo Yuhao opened the Gate of the Dead, using his soul power to guide the corpse and soul ring of the Fear Demon Dragon, and stepped directly into it.

Silence returned to the forest, with only the spotted cat, who had been tormented by pain, panting weakly on the ground.

Huo Yuhao first used his mental power to probe the Fear Demon Dragon. As expected, it had not condensed a soul bone, and he shook his head.

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged and began absorbing the soul ring of the Fear Demon Dragon. He fully activated his Mind Will, believing that what he had obtained was the Fear Demon Dragon's innate soul skill, the Fear Imprint. His power of belief was gradually being consumed.

It took Huo Yuhao an hour to finally refine the spirit ring.
