"Shh."
The opportunity came, that is, the moment Huo Yuhao made this move, Chai Wu's eyes were aimed at the prey like a poisonous snake. He suddenly exerted force with his legs and rushed out like a cheetah. The muscles on his arms were bulging, and he turned his palms into fists, hitting Huo Yuhao's head directly.
However, at this moment, when Chai Wu was excited that he could catch Huo Yuhao, a crack suddenly appeared between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows, and a faint light flickered inside. The next moment, Huo Yuhao faced Chai Wu who was so close.
The wind from the fist had already hit Huo Yuhao's face. Just when Chai Wu was excited, a ray of golden light was reflected in his pupils.
"Shh."
The overgrown woods were covered with a striking golden color.
The surroundings seemed to have become quiet, and the two people stood face to face.
Chai Wu's fist stopped in mid-air. He opened his lips and stared blankly at Huo Yuhao who was bathing in the sun. A ray of sunlight fell on Huo Yuhao's body, filling him with a bright glow. The strange crack between his eyebrows slowly disappeared, and everything returned to calm.
“My soul power is indeed almost exhausted, but... who told you that I have no other means?” Huo Yuhao slowly raised his right hand, and as his sleeve moved back a little, the round sleeve arrow on his wrist was revealed.
"call out!"
The next moment, Huo Yuhao directly controlled the sleeve arrow to shoot out an extremely sharp iron spike, which instantly pierced through Chai Wu's eyebrows.
"Why are you..."
Chai Wu's eyes were dazed and filled with confusion. His body softened and he fell straight down. He didn't understand why a person without a spirit ring could use spirit skills?
A wisp of invisible energy gathered on Chai Wu’s body and turned into a stream of air that flowed into Huo Yuhao’s body.
Huo Yuhao took a few steps forward and pulled out the iron spike that was stuck between Chai Wu’s eyebrows.
He casually explained, "I'm the protagonist, so it's normal to be a little special, right?"
People really cannot be careless, otherwise they may easily fall flat on their face, so Huo Yuhao chose to explain to the dead, so that he would not be killed unexpectedly.
Of course, it is one thing for ordinary people and another for soul masters.
Some soul masters can unleash special attacks even after they die. Huo Yuhao is well aware of this.
After saying that, Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked up at the sky. Through the leaves, he smiled softly and said to the sun, “Thank you.”
In fact, what Chai Wu did not notice was that the position where Huo Yuhao was standing was always within the reach of sunlight.
Please read it and vote for recommendation!
Chapter 27 Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao
Soon, Huo Yuhao had looted all the money that Chai San and Chai Wu had on them.
Unfortunately, there is not much money. The total amount of money for two people is less than one gold soul coin. After all, you can't carry dozens of gold soul coins with you when you work, right?
After dragging the two bodies into the weeds, Huo Yuhao shot an arrow at each of their heads. After making sure that they were dead, he took the bag off the tree and walked back the way he came.
My body is stained with blood, so I have to wash it and fulfill the promise I made to Xiaoxi.
only……
What Huo Yuhao didn’t notice was that from beginning to end, a pair of eyes were always fixed on him from a long distance.
There was a bit of shock in this look, but also a hint of sigh, and finally everything turned into expectation.
The branches trembled slightly, and a figure quietly left.
But at this moment, Huo Yuhao seemed to have sensed something in his heart. He paused, and after a few seconds, he started walking forward again.
After returning to the stream, Huo Yuhao quickly looted Chai Si's money, threw his body into the bushes, and then changed and washed his bloodstained clothes.
However, he broke his promise this time. He did not catch the fish in the creek. Instead, he hung his clothes to dry, took out his bag, and prepared to set off.
Huo Yuhao opened the map that Old Chen had given him and looked at it.
From this perspective, the distance between the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and Shrek City is probably about several hundred kilometers.
Recalling Huo Yuhao in the original novel, it felt quite strange that he traveled for six days to reach the Star Dou Great Forest, traveling 150 kilometers a day.
With a complicated expression, Huo Yuhao put away the map, picked up his bag, and embarked on his next journey.
The sky is high and the birds can fly freely; the sea is wide and the fish can jump freely!
Shrek City was located northeast of the Duke's Mansion. Huo Yuhao followed the official road and encountered many caravans along the way. However, when they saw Huo Yuhao, they simply ignored him and did not disturb each other. It was around 1:00 p.m. when he stopped by a stream. He caught fish for lunch while resting and waiting to set off again.
……
"stop!"
A few hundred meters in the air above the clear stream, several beams of soul power flew from afar. When they were about to fly over the stream, one of them seemed to sense something and quickly shouted to stop, causing the team to stop moving forward.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
As soon as they stopped, everyone looked at the beautiful and graceful woman in the lead, and the stunning woman on the far left with a head full of flaming red hair couldn't help but ask.
The woman called Senior Sister frowned, she lowered her head and looked down, finally her eyes locked on a huge tree that was much larger than the other trees.
"This tree has soul power fluctuations, and it is gradually evolving into a soul beast. Follow me." As she spoke, the soul power in the eldest sister's body surged, and she controlled the flying soul guide behind her to slowly land on the ground.
After hearing what the eldest sister said, the expressions of the others changed. There was no record of any soul beasts appearing in this area. How could a tree suddenly evolve into a soul beast?
Immediately, a group of people hurriedly followed the gentle woman and landed on the ground.
"Someone died here not long ago."
As soon as he landed, a young man with extremely sharp eyes instantly locked his gaze on a bush, where there was a faint smell of blood.
"Zifeng, Luochen, go over there and take a look." The eldest sister looked at the big tree and ordered without turning her head.
"Yes."
The young man who spoke and another woman with a cold face responded and walked towards the bushes.
The eyes of the others all fell on the big tree with tangled roots. The tree was lush and leafy with emerald green leaves. It looked completely unlike the same type of trees in the local area at that time of year.
“There is indeed a slight fluctuation of soul power released from this tree, but according to my calculations, it will take at least half a year for it to become a ten-year-old soul beast.” The stunning red-haired girl observed the tree carefully and came to the conclusion after a few seconds.
"Xiao Tao, you're great. You used to hate theoretical knowledge the most, but today you suddenly figured out the key point." A woman with the same graceful temperament chuckled. Her name was Han Ruoruo.
The red-haired girl looked a little embarrassed. "Sister Ruoruo, I am also an inner courtyard student after all. If I don't understand this, I'll be beaten up by this old man."
"Haha."
After hearing this, except for the eldest sister who didn't laugh openly, everyone else couldn't help laughing.
Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes and said, "It's okay if the senior sister laughs, but as for the others, just laugh if you want. When we get back to the academy, I will challenge you all to a fight, and I'll start with the one who laughs the most."
The eldest sister had a smile on her face. She took the initiative to step forward and came to within six meters of the big tree. At that moment, the big tree that would soon become a soul beast suddenly restrained its soul power and turned into an ordinary tree in an instant.
"Interesting." The eldest sister's eyes changed slightly, and a hint of curiosity arose in her heart. Unless a plant-type soul beast is an extremely special race, it is impossible for it to have the ability to perceive the outside world when it reaches the tenth level. Usually, this ability is possessed by ordinary soul beasts only after they reach the hundredth level.
Even this tree is not a soul beast yet.
"Le Xuan, is there something going on?" Han Ruoruo also sensed that the soul power fluctuations released by the big tree had disappeared, and couldn't help but walked forward to ask.
The others stopped laughing and became serious.
"Ruoruo, peel this tree off and let's take it back to the academy to let Mr. Zhuang study it. There's something wrong with this tree." The eldest sister said in a deep voice. Her full name is Zhang Lexuan.
Han Ruoruo didn't ask the reason, but just nodded.
The next moment, an astonishing scene appeared. Seven soul rings suddenly rose under Han Ruoruo's feet, two yellow, two purple, and three black. She was actually a Soul Sage with the best soul ring ratio.
But she looked too young, probably only 27 or 28 years old at most, a definite young heroine.
"Snapped!"
A crisp striking sound was heard, and Han Ruoruo suddenly had a rope glowing with golden light in her hand. With a thought, the golden rope quickly turned into a stream of light and flew out, then circled the big tree.
The next moment, a brilliant golden light burst out from the rope, directly covering the entire tree. Soon, the grass began to shake, and a large number of cracks appeared on the ground, and the tangled roots of the tree were all exposed.
"Haoxuan, the internal space of your storage belt is just right. I'll leave the carrying to you." Zhang Lexuan turned her gaze and looked at a very fat young man.
"No problem." The fat young man nodded, took a few steps forward, and passed his hands across his waist. The next moment, a force of space flashed and directly took the tree into it.
"Big sister, someone really died here."
Just as the big tree was taken away, the two people who had gone to the bushes to investigate the situation came back.
The one who spoke was the young man with sharp eyes.
"Cause of death?" Zhang Lexuan turned around to look.
The young man explained, "The cause of death was a weapon piercing his neck, and the time of death was no more than five hours. There was no remaining soul energy on this person, so he must be an ordinary person. I guess it was caused by revenge."
Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's expression remained unchanged. She didn't care about one person dying. Many people died every day in Douluo Continent, and she couldn't possibly manage them all. The main reason was that the place where this person died was too special. "The return plan has been postponed. From now on, everyone will disperse and search within a five-kilometer radius to see if there are other plants evolving. Once you find them, come back here to gather."
"Yes." Everyone responded quickly, without any delay, and soon rushed into the woods.
Outsiders looking at the Sky Eye would only think that it was a special situation caused by the hero’s martial soul mutation.
Chapter 28 Let's Eat Something Sweet
After a lot of searching, everyone found no more plants in the evolutionary stage.
But some people also gained something, such as Chen Zifeng. He was the sharp-eyed young man who found two bodies hidden in the bushes. The bodies were nothing, but the three bodies were all dressed exactly the same, and they were obviously from the same group. This was strange.
After the others returned after searching in vain, Ma Xiaotao was stunned when she saw an extremely "sad and dilapidated" grave.
"The tomb of my late mother Huo Yun'er."
Ma Xiaotao's eyes were deep, her red lips slightly parted, and she softly read out the extremely clear words carved on the wooden tombstone with a knife.
"The afterlife is so shabby, you must have suffered a lot in your life."
Ma Xiaotao had already turned around and was about to leave, but for some reason, she felt a little bit of throbbing in her heart, and she turned her head back to take a look.
The tomb was very new, she could tell, and it was not a mound that had fallen into disrepair over time.
It was just like the grave where her mother died when she was four years old, overgrown with weeds, dilapidated, and piled with rocks.
Perhaps it was because her heart was touched, Ma Xiaotao's mind moved, and with a ray of soul power light appearing in her hand, an ordinary candy in a package appeared.
She walked over and placed the candy under the tombstone.
"You've suffered too much in your life, and it's hard to reincarnate after death. Eat something sweet, and the road will be easier. This is what my master taught me."
Looking at the grave mound with a complicated expression, Ma Xiaotao shook her head, spread a pair of wings behind her, and rushed into the sky, heading towards the gathering place.
When Ma Xiaotao returned to the stream, the others had also returned.
"Xiaotao, have you found anything?" Zhang Lexuan said to Ma Xiaotao who had rushed back.
"No." Ma Xiaotao shook her head.
Zhang Lexuan pondered and said, "It seems that this is a unique special situation. Okay, let's continue on our way and find a place to rest and eat later."
"Yes."
Zhang Lexuan's status was obviously the highest among this group of people, and everyone showed obedience to her words.
Soon, a group of people put on their flying soul guides and flew straight into the sky, heading towards Shrek City.
In the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, they have a very resounding name, called the Shrek Supervisory Group, and this time, they have just returned from completing a mission in the coastal areas of the Star Luo Empire.
……
The flames burned from the wood, constantly leaping up, bringing scorching heat, wisps of fragrant oil and water dripped down the branches, three fish whose bodies were hollowed out and one of which was pierced from the tail to the head was enjoying the 'polishing' of the flames, preparing to become a delicacy.
With a gleam in his eyes, Huo Yuhao calmly looked at the fish he was grilling. No wonder Huo Yuhao in the original novel could become a master of grilling fish. With the powerful observation ability of his spiritual eyes, he could control the heat perfectly.
Let every bit of flame roast the white, tender and slightly rosy fish meat just right, not a second more or less, and the roasting time for different parts of the fish is extremely precise.
Looking at the grilled fish, Huo Yuhao pinched his chin and said, "It's still too monotonous. I have to get some pickled peppers when I have the chance. Then I can make a Douluo Continent version of the Mountain City grilled fish. After eating the fish, I can also cook noodles. Hiss... that would be wonderful."
He didn't add much seasoning, just salt and chili powder, but it was enough.
When the salt that enhances the flavor falls into the oily fish meat, the two quickly blend together. When the chili powder like fine sand is sprinkled on the fish meat, it removes the fishy smell and enhances the fragrance. The spicy aroma hits you in the face, making you salivate.
After grilling the fish, Huo Yuhao picked up all three fish, moved away from the fire, and planned to sit aside to enjoy them.
At this time, a breeze blew, spreading the aroma of grilled fish to who knows how far away.
After taking a bite of the fish, his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance. The firm and chewy fish meat gave Huo Yuhao a great taste experience. The most important thing is that whether the fish tastes good is one thing, but the most important thing is whether it has bones or not.
The fish in these streams in Douluo Continent seem to be there for people to catch, and many species of fish do not have small bones.
Yes, it is not like the crucian carp on Earth, which has a lot of small thorns and is very troublesome.
As the saying goes, fish without bones are man's best friends.
