Chapter 11 The gears of fate begin to turn

At the first light of dawn, the thin mist was penetrated by the sunlight, giving the streets of Tiandou City a light golden edge.

The rented carriage stopped in front of the house, and the wheels squeaked as they rolled over the cobblestone road.

"Mom, Aunt Jiang, let's go."

Huo Yuhao stood beside the carriage and waved to Huo Yun'er and Jiang Wanhua behind him.

Now Jiang Nannan's vacation is over and she has to return to Shrek Academy.

And he just happened to need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for why Jiang Wanhua was living with Huo Yuhao and the others, it was a decision Huo Yuhao had made after careful consideration. He felt his mother would be too lonely living alone in Tiandou City.

Besides, after Jiang Nannan returned to the academy, Jiang Wanhua also lived alone.

So, after obtaining Huo Yun'er's consent, Huo Yuhao also discussed with Jiang Nannan and let Jiang Wanhua move into his home.

It is always better to have someone to take care of each other on a daily basis.

But after I told Jiang Nannan about this, she looked a little suspicious, but finally agreed.

Jiang Wanhua naturally refused at first, thinking it was too troublesome. Only after their constant persuasion did she reluctantly agree.

However, Huo Yuhao always felt that on the day when he helped Jiang Wanhua move, the smile on her lips seemed to be completely uncontrollable.

"Be careful on the road and don't get into any conflicts with others."

Huo Yun'er walked forward slowly, raised her hand to tidy up the loose hair on Huo Yuhao's temples, her eyes full of concern.

Jiang Wanhua stood aside and chuckled after hearing this. She said jokingly in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, Yun'er. With Yuhao and Nannan together, what could go wrong?"

Her words were casual, yet with a hint of teasing. When her eyes fell on Huo Yuhao, the smile on her lips grew even more intense.

"Got it, Mom."

Huo Yuhao leaned against the edge of the carriage and nodded towards Huo Yun'er and Jiang Wanhua.

His excuse for leaving home this time was to go to Shrek City to buy some rare metals to make soul guides.

They had originally planned to set off earlier, but although Huo Yun'er was not worried about Huo Yuhao, she was very worried about Jiang Nannan's safety.

Jiang Nannan has a beautiful appearance and a gentle personality, and is deeply loved by Huo Yuner.

She even vaguely sensed that Jiang Nannan seemed to have some interest in her son.

Huo Yun'er naturally tried every possible way to bring the two together, which is why Huo Yuhao stayed until now, and then went to Shrek City with Jiang Nannan.

She even wanted Huo Yuhao to stay in Shrek City and contact Jiang Nannan more often to exchange feelings.

Wait until Shrek Academy is on vacation, and then come back with Jiang Nannan.

During this month, although Huo Yuhao did not have the soul ring assistance provided by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, it was not difficult for him to make several second-level soul guides with his attainments in soul guides that surpassed this era.

The cost of a second-level soul guide is no more than a hundred gold soul coins, but it can be sold at a high price of nearly a thousand gold soul coins.

As a result, Huo Yuhao stopped grilling fish.

Grilling fish is just life, selling soul guides is work.

As the carriage slowly drove away, the wheels rolled over the bluestone slabs, making a sound that gradually faded away.

Huo Yun'er's gaze followed the carriage until it completely disappeared at the end of the street. Only then did she reluctantly withdraw her gaze and return to the house with Jiang Wanhua.

……

Outside the Star Dou Forest.

Huo Yuhao was standing shirtless in a clear stream.

He stared down at the water, then thrust his right hand down, breaking through the surface and leaving a trail of splashes.

"puff--"

With a slight lift of his wrist and a flip, he safely caught the half-foot-long black carp.

Water splashed everywhere, and crystal clear water droplets slid down his strong muscles, leaving a trail of water marks.

It has only been two months since his rebirth, but with the powerful energy and blood provided by the Golden Dragon King's divine core, combined with appropriate training, Huo Yuhao's physique has undergone significant changes.

His originally thin body has now become strong and sturdy with clear lines.

Even his height increased at an alarming rate. He was a head shorter than Jiang Nannan before, but now he is only half a head shorter.

As for Jiang Nannan, she had already returned to Shrek Academy. Huo Yuhao hadn't told her the truth about this trip. Otherwise, given Jiang Nannan's personality, if she knew, she would have definitely followed him.

But this time we are not just searching in the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, so Jiang Nannan cannot be allowed to go along and take risks.

"But I don't know how many days it will take to search in the Star Dou Great Forest."

While Huo Yuhao was thinking, he fished out several lively green carps from the stream one after another.

After cleaning the herring, he found some dry firewood and skillfully built a bonfire.

Under the scorching flames, the skin of the black carp gradually turned golden yellow and made a sizzling sound.

The rich aroma of grilled fish began to spread in the air, making people's mouths water.

Huo Yuhao sat quietly beside the fire, his thoughts swirling. In his previous life, when he first entered the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest, he had grilled fish by this stream and had run into Sister Xiaoya and Senior Brother Beibei.

Now, times have changed and the trajectory of my destiny has undergone earth-shaking changes.

After finishing the grilled herring and washing the grease off his hands, he took out a box from his storage ring. He opened the lid, and a pungent medicinal smell immediately filled the air.

Now that fate has changed, it is naturally impossible to be lucky enough to encounter the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest as in the previous life. It has become inevitable to go so deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.

This beast-repelling ointment can effectively mask one's own scent and reduce the chance of being discovered by spirit beasts. Although for some spirit beasts with extremely sensitive senses of smell, the effect may be limited.

"It's time to set off."

After applying the ointment, Huo Yuhao put on his clothes again, extinguished the campfire, and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest without hesitation.

After walking a short while, we saw a wooden sign standing by the roadside.

"Fifty miles ahead we will enter the Star Dou Forest. There are soul beasts in and out. Please pay attention to safety."

Unfortunately, no wind baboon jumped out this time. When Huo Yuhao passed the place where he met the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his previous life, he deliberately stopped for a moment.

I waited quietly, hoping that familiar voice would ring in my mind. After waiting for a while, I found that no strange voice rang in my mind, so I continued to move forward.

As the sun gradually set, the sky gradually darkened.

Huo Yuhao finally reached the edge of the mixed zone. He raised his head, a light flashing in his eyes. His gaze swept over the tangled and bizarrely shaped tree trunks, as well as the occasional low-singing bird shadows flying overhead.

Chapter 12 The gears of fate almost derailed

Compared to the soul beasts in the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest, the soul beasts are generally not very strong, and even thousand-year-old soul beasts are rarely seen.

But the mixed area is completely different. This is the area with the most diverse soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and you may encounter ten thousand year old soul beasts at any time.

As the sky gradually darkened and the soul beasts active at night were often more ferocious, it was obviously not a wise choice to continue going deeper.

Huo Yuhao simply began to look for a suitable place to set up camp nearby. After getting enough rest, he would wait until tomorrow morning to continue looking for the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

He walked around in a circle, occasionally using branches to push away the vines that blocked his way, and carefully looked for a suitable place to stay.

Soon, they found an open space with a wide view and suitable for camping.

He took out some animal repellent powder from the storage ring, sprinkled it around, and then quickly set up the tent.

Just as he was about to take out some dry food from his storage ring, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped, his nose twitching slightly as he sensed something strange, and his gaze quickly turned to the bushes on the right.

At this moment, a dark shadow rushed out from the bushes, accompanied by a slight "puff" sound.

Then, a rich sweet fragrance hit my face.

Huo Yuhao reacted extremely quickly, covering his mouth and nose in an instant, and retreated backwards, avoiding the location of the tent.

He didn't want to accidentally damage his tent in the subsequent battle.

At this moment, the true face of the shadow has been seen clearly.

It was a three-meter-long, peach-colored snake with a small bump on its forehead that resembled a flower bud about to bloom.

"Mandragora snake? And it's a thousand-year-old snake."

Huo Yuhao stood firm, his eyes fixed on the giant snake, a solemn look on his face.

An ordinary Soul Master at the Soul Master level would probably have no choice but to turn around and run away if he encountered this kind of thousand-year-old soul beast.

Although his current physical strength is not inferior to that of an ordinary beast spirit master.

The venom of the mandrake snake does not pose any threat to him.

But in this mixed zone full of dangers, fighting with soul beasts would inevitably lead to greater trouble.

It seems that we have to fight quickly and decisively.

"Quack--"

The mandrake snake let out a strange cry, swung its tail violently, and suddenly sprang up, lunging straight at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly transformed into a brilliant golden color. An indescribable aura emanated from him.

The Mandrake Snake seemed to be frightened by this power and paused for a moment.

The flower-shaped bulge on the top of the head suddenly burst open.

A stream of pink blood shot towards Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, its tail swung violently and its whole body suddenly turned, trying to escape from here.

Huo Yuhao dodged the blood arrow and lightly wiped the storage ring between his fingers.

The White Tiger Dagger appeared in his hand.

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, the fleeing Mandrake Snake was now covered with dense white lines all over its body.

The soul power in the body is continuously transferred to the White Tiger Dagger.

With the golden light flashing in his eyes, he was ready to cut the white thread of fate that symbolized the life of the Mandragora Snake.

However, at this moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently without warning.

Fine cracks began to appear on the ground not far ahead.
