Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 44 Huo Yutong

More than a month later, near the Star Dou Great Forest.

Biji kissed Deng Mu's forehead and said, "Little Mu, be careful of the soul beasts inside; they are very dangerous."

Although she was well aware of Deng Mu's strength, she still couldn't help but give him some advice.

Deng Mu nodded and put on his coat: "Yes, I'll be careful, Sister Brigitte, you don't need to worry."

He was amazed that Brigitte, this gentle older sister, was so good at having fun; it was a huge surprise to him, probably because she had lived for so long.

After bidding farewell to Biji, Deng Mu got off the carriage and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest, feeling somewhat curious about what Huo Yutong looked like.

Although he had seen pictures of Huo Yutong online before, those were all fan art. Now that he could see Huo Yutong in person, he was genuinely curious.

The coachman drove the carriage back to the north city, feeling incredibly pleased with himself, knowing he would earn a good amount of money on the round trip.

……

A young girl walked towards the Star Dou Great Forest, heading to obtain her first soul ring.

The girl had delicate features, with long black hair and a pair of large, watery eyes that seemed to speak volumes.

She was the person Deng Mu was looking for; her name was Huo Yutong.

Huo Yutong was extremely nervous at this moment. She knew that the Star Dou Great Forest was extremely dangerous and full of many soul beasts.

At the same time, she was also aware of her own situation. She was weak and had a poor physique, so she could only hunt a ten-year-old weak soul beast.

"Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to get my revenge."

Huo Yutong muttered to herself as she walked towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon entering the Star Dou Forest, a black figure flashed past Huo Yutong.

"Um?"

Upon hearing the noise, Huo Yutong subconsciously looked behind her.

Not seeing anything behind her, Huo Yutong assumed she was hallucinating and continued forward.

After walking another step, a figure rushed towards Huo Yutong.

"not good?!"

Hearing a noise behind her, Huo Yutong turned around to look.

A wind baboon suddenly lunged at her, but it was too late to dodge its attack.

Is this it? Am I going to die here today?

Just then, Huo Yutong felt a warm embrace from behind.

"court death!"

Huo Yutong saw a hammer and smashed the wind baboon away.

The wind baboon fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then a white spirit ring floated out from its corpse.

So strong!

Looking at the corpse of the wind baboon, Huo Yutong thought to herself that she liked this embrace and her heart was beating inexplicably fast.

"Are you alright?"

Hearing the voice behind her, Huo Yutong came to her senses and quickly left the embrace, looking somewhat embarrassed at the person who had been holding her.

When Huo Yutong saw clearly who was holding her, her heart beat even faster, and she involuntarily swallowed.

So handsome.

Looking at Deng Mu in front of her, Huo Yutong thought to herself.

Deng Mu looked at Huo Yutong in front of him with a smile and asked, "Are you alright?"

He was a little curious about who this girl in front of him was, that she dared to come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone, did she think he was Huo Yuhao?

Hearing Deng Mu's words, Huo Yutong shook her head and said, "It's nothing, thank you for saving me. My name is Huo Yutong, you can call me Yutong. May I ask your name?"

Upon learning that the other party was Huo Yutong, Deng Mu was somewhat surprised: "It's nothing, just a small favor. My name is Deng Mu."

After learning Deng Mu's name, Huo Yutong secretly memorized it.

Deng Mu saved her life, and she will repay him in the future.

"Yutong, why did you come here alone? Were you being chased by someone?"

Deng Mu looked at Huo Yutong and asked her why she had come here.

Although he knew exactly what Huo Yutong's purpose was, he still pretended not to know.

Huo Yutong shook her head: "No, I came here to hunt soul beasts and obtain my first soul ring."

After thinking for a moment, Deng Mu suggested, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you."

Hearing Deng Mu's suggestion, Huo Yutong originally wanted to refuse, but considering her own strength and what had just happened, she hesitated.

"Okay, thank you."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"It's nothing, just a small favor."

Deng Mu waved his hand to indicate that nothing was wrong after hearing Huo Yutong's words.

She thought Huo Yutong was really cute, but her life wasn't very good. At the same time, she was also curious about who Huo Yutong's future husband would be.

It couldn't possibly be Tang Wutong; if it really were, that would be too outrageous.

After they finished speaking, the two headed into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Before long, the ground beneath Deng Mu and Huo Yutong suddenly began to tremble without warning.

Seeing this, Huo Yutong was at a loss, feeling inexplicably nervous and afraid.

A 10-year-old soul beast almost killed her just now. If an even more powerful one were to appear, wouldn't the two of them be doomed?

It doesn't matter if she dies, but if Deng Mu dies with her, he will feel incredibly guilty.

Deng Mu instinctively shielded Huo Yutong behind him and whispered to her, "Huo Yutong, it's alright, I'm here."

Hearing Deng Mu's words, Huo Yutong felt a sense of security and trusted him completely, gripping his clothes tightly with both hands.

Watching Deng Mu's retreating figure, Huo Yutong felt a mix of emotions. It was the first time she had ever met a stranger who was so kind to her.

Deng Mu saved her life the first time they met, and now he protects her without hesitation...

Two meters ahead, cracks began to appear on the ground. The cracks gradually widened and turned into fissures, from which a faint golden-white light could be seen shining.

A chilling aura emanated from the cracks in the ground, and the surrounding temperature began to drop noticeably. The cracks grew larger and larger, eventually reaching a diameter of over five meters. And the golden-white light finally revealed its true form.

It was a silkworm, its entire body white and translucent, with a halo flowing beneath its skin. On its head were a pair of small, glittering golden eyes. Most peculiarly, starting half a meter from its head, there was a golden ring at intervals, with a total of ten golden rings from head to tail.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has finally arrived.

Deng Mu looked at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in front of him and thought to himself.

Looking at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm behind her, Huo Yutong thought that the two of them were doomed. This silkworm was at least a hundred-year-old soul beast, and maybe even a thousand-year-old soul beast.

As for ten thousand years?

She didn't even dare to imagine that a soul beast of that level could easily take them down.

When the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm sensed Deng Mu's aura, the entire beast was completely dumbfounded.

She sensed danger emanating from the person in front of her.

"Um, I didn't mean any harm..."

Tianmeng Bingcan didn't hesitate to back down; she didn't want to die, she wanted to complete her plan.

Hearing Tianmeng Bingcan's voice, Deng Mu was a little confused. How did Tianmeng Bingcan also turn into a woman?
