Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 12 The Gears of Fate Almost Derailed

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

However, the mixed zone is completely different. This is the area with the most diverse types of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, where you may encounter a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast at any time.

As darkness fell, and given that the spirit beasts active at night were often more ferocious, continuing deeper into the darkness was clearly not a wise choice.

Huo Yuhao decided to find a suitable place to camp nearby, rest up, and continue searching for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm after dawn the next day.

He circled around, using a branch to occasionally push aside the vines blocking his path, carefully searching for a suitable place to stand.

Before long, they found a clearing with a wide view, suitable for setting up camp.

He took out beast-repelling powder from his storage ring, sprinkled it around the area, and then quickly set up the tent.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to take out some dry rations from his storage ring, he suddenly stopped. His nose twitched slightly as he sensed something amiss, and his gaze quickly shifted to the bushes on his right.

In that instant, a dark shadow darted out from the bushes, accompanied by a soft "plop" sound.

Immediately afterwards, a rich, sweet aroma wafted over.

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 during the battle later on.

At this moment, they had also clearly seen the true face of that shadowy figure.

It was a large snake, about three meters long, with a body entirely pink. On its forehead was a small bump, shaped like a budding flower.

"A mandala snake? And a thousand-year-old one at that."

Huo Yuhao steadied himself, his gaze fixed on the giant snake, a solemn expression on his face.

Ordinary Soul Masters at the Soul Venerable level would probably have no choice but to turn tail and run when they encounter such a thousand-year-old Soul Beast.

My current physical strength is already comparable to that of a typical Beast Soul Master.

The venom of the datura snake posed no threat to him.

However, in this dangerous mixed zone, fighting with soul beasts would inevitably cause more trouble.

It seems we have no choice but to act quickly.

"Quack quack—"

The datura snake let out a strange cry. Its tail lashed out, and its entire body sprang up, lunging straight at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly turned into a dazzling gold. An indescribable aura emanated from him.

The datura snake seemed to be intimidated by this power, and its movements paused slightly for a moment.

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

A pink arrow of blood shot towards Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, it suddenly swung its tail and turned its entire body, attempting to escape the area.

Huo Yuhao dodged the blood arrow with a flash and gently wiped it off from the storage ring on his finger.

The White Tiger Dagger then appeared in his hand.

The fleeing datura snake appeared to Huo Yuhao as its entire body was covered with dense, fine white lines.

The soul power within his body was continuously transferred to the White Tiger Dagger.

As golden light flashed in his eyes, he prepared to sever the white line of fate that symbolized the life of the mandala serpent from afar.

However, at that moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble violently without warning.

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

These cracks expanded and spread rapidly at a visible speed, eventually forming a bottomless fissure.

Faint golden-white light could be seen seeping out from the cracks.

A somewhat childish female voice suddenly rang in Huo Yuhao's ears:

"Hahaha! I'm so lucky! I've encountered a human with psychic abilities so quickly. Don't be afraid, young man, I'll come to your rescue right away!"

The datura serpent, which had originally intended to flee, froze in place, slowly turning its raised head. Although it was a thousand-year-old soul beast and possessed a certain level of intelligence, it had clearly never encountered such a bizarre situation before.

The crack grew larger and larger, reaching a diameter of over five meters in just a short time.

A chilling cold began to emanate from the cracks in the ground, and the surrounding temperature dropped noticeably, with a thin layer of frost forming on the leaves.

And the golden-white light finally revealed its true form.

It was a round, chubby head, over a meter in diameter.

It was slowly wriggling its body, trying to crawl out of the crack.

Huo Yuhao was also taken aback. Why was the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm emitting a girl's voice?!

This intense sense of astonishment made him subconsciously continue wielding the White Tiger Dagger.

The thin white line on the datura snake snapped instantly.

Before the mandrake could even react, its entire body began to gradually disintegrate.

In the end, it turned into specks of golden light and completely dissipated into the void, leaving not even a soul ring behind.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, still struggling to crawl out of the crack, witnessed the Mandala Serpent's gruesome death.

Two golden eyes darted around a few times before their gaze fell on the handsome young man holding a dagger, especially his dragon eyes, which shone like golden pupils.

The body, which had been wriggling, suddenly stopped and ceased crawling out. It then let out an awkward yet polite laugh: "Um... young man, I'm sorry, I might have mistaken you for someone else. You can continue with your work; I'll leave now."

Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't let the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm escape like that. He quickly stepped forward and gently touched the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's plump body. Upon touching it, he felt a cool, refreshing sensation.

"Young man, I'm a good person, please don't do anything rash, don't hurt me."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was on the verge of tears.

This young man had previously crushed the thousand-year-old Mandragora Serpent into dust with a single slash from a distance, leaving not even a soul ring behind.

Now that he has touched me, wouldn't he crush me instantly?

With that thought in mind, she began to wriggle her plump body uneasily, preparing to retreat underground and teleport away while the other party wasn't paying attention.

"Alright, Tianmeng... Sister, I'll explain everything to you slowly later. Now, I'm going to begin. Don't worry, I'll be gentle and won't hurt you too much."

Huo Yuhao looked at the somewhat timid silkworm in front of him and said helplessly.

His previous behavior had clearly frightened Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Wait, young man. How do you know my name is Tianmeng, and what are you going to do to me...?"
