Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 187 The Gold of Living Things
Swah——

The moment Elder Yi finished chanting, the golden tortoiseshell's body appeared on the ground amidst a burst of spiritual light, its limbs still unconsciously digging in the soil, still caught up in the frantic escape.

"Eh?"

Propelling herself forward a couple of times, Dai Mao stiffly raised her head to look at Huo Yuhao standing in front of her: "You... no... you! Why did you come to see me? What is it for?"

It can ignore his multiple concealments, break his water form instantly, and even has a completely unknown spatial skill that can teleport him to the ground.

How did such a person even appear in Douluo Continent? Does this world really allow such a powerful person to exist here?

If it weren't for physical limitations, Dai Mao would have knelt down in a cold sweat right now...

No amount of saving face can compare to saving your life.

"It's a golden hawksbill turtle! I didn't expect to find it so quickly!"

Looking at the tortoise-shaped soul beast before her, Tianmeng's eyes shone with wild joy: "No wonder, no wonder. With the innate abilities of this race, they are indeed able to achieve those miraculous feats just now."

Rather, what they need right now is this kind of hidden skill.

"...So this is what we've been looking for?"

Huo Yuhao scrutinized the hawksbill turtle before him, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Wait, Tianmeng, are you sensing something wrong? Does it have your power within it?"

The soul beast lying in front of him now clearly only has the aura of a Soul Emperor and its age is at most 40,000 years. How could it have Heavenly Dream Yuan Power in its body?

Guys that old would probably get beaten up just by looking at them from afar.

"Sigh~"

His question made Tianmeng retract her initial surprise, and she carefully examined the golden tortoiseshell from head to toe: "Oh right. How did it obtain this power..."

"grown ups?"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao did not respond for a long time, the golden tortoiseshell poked its head out, and was then met with a scrutinizing gaze that was extremely noticeable.

The celestial light and shadow released from the body condensed into a silkworm that perched on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, its small eyes glaring with anger: "Golden Tortoiseshell, do you still remember me?"

"This aura...you are that ice silkworm from back then!"

The hawksbill turtle shrank its neck sharply, its eyes filled with fear: "You've brought such a powerful creature into the Star Dou Great Forest... Are you here seeking revenge?"

As soon as she spoke, Tianmeng met Huo Yuhao's gaze.

'This guy really has been to a very dangerous place.'

"Ahem~ Now that you already know why I'm here, you still dare to pretend in front of me?"

Tianmeng growled menacingly, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"No... I only secretly took a few puffs while hiding underground! I apologize, I don't deserve to die!"

The hawksbill turtle spoke urgently, then quickly pulled its head back, its eyes scanning the forest environment from side to side: "But I really can't remove the concealment, or big trouble will come looking for me."

If the aura of life were to leak out, another beast god, Di Tian, ​​would be coming to cause trouble for it.

Even if he stubbornly continued to hide, Tianmeng might not kill him, but if Ditian came over, he would definitely crush him into dust... I don't know why it only ate a small piece of life metal, but it was hated as if it had killed someone's own mother.

"Silkworm slough."

Tianmeng squinted as she recalled it, then unfolded it into a protective shield to isolate the aura, adding a layer of simulated concealment: "Now there shouldn't be any trouble, right?"

If this guy dares to play any tricks, he really wouldn't mind giving Huo Yuhao another chance to obtain soul beast luck.

Similar to the attribute-attracting of auspicious beasts, even if the attributes of these golden soul beasts are not compatible, absorbing them into the body will be of great benefit.

"this…"

The golden tortoiseshell's eyes flickered, and it was about to speak when its instinctive aura warned it, causing it to shudder and its eyes to instantly clear: "My lord! I have a long-hidden secret. Could you exchange it for my life?"...

"Green metal?" Old Yi's eyes flickered slightly.

"Just go up and start eating it!"

Tianmeng's eyes widened in astonishment at the guy's audacity.

"So... ever since then you've been hiding on the outside, to avoid being discovered by those ferocious beasts?"

Huo Yuhao couldn't hide his excitement: "That piece of metal is still hidden inside you?"

"Ah~"

With a sigh, the tortoise-shell's body expanded wildly amidst a flash of golden light, releasing a nearly lifeless aura: "Actually, I wanted to get rid of it, but that thing is like it's taken root inside me, I can't get it out at all... it's even draining my life force!"

Absorbing life? This living metal, brimming with life energy, actually has this ability?

Just as Huo Yuhao began to have doubts, Elder Yi's voice quietly rang out: "It's Life Siphon."

"The energy in this world will naturally be drawn to the same kind of power, and will naturally accumulate. However, the attraction brought about by this tendency is very weak and will not have any additional effects under normal circumstances."

Old Yi looked at the tortoiseshell through Huo Yuhao's eyes, as if examining the metal inside through its body: "But the metal of life is different... Under extreme compression, it can generate the power to deprive external objects of life."

"Without proper guidance, this thing will only cause disastrous consequences—if it were placed in the outside world, the entire forest and the soul beasts within it would be drained dry."

In a sense, this golden hawksbill turtle risked its life to protect its territory...

"Leave the rest to me. This piece of living gold is larger than I anticipated."

With a wave of his staff, Elder Yi enveloped the golden tortoiseshell in two layers of magic arrays: "Don't resist. This metal has already merged with your life essence. To save your life, you must find another place!"

The staff slammed heavily on the ground, and a portal radiating deathly energy opened, revealing numerous chains entwined with gray energy currents.

Is this the underworld?

The hawksbill turtle asked, its head trembling.

"Hmm...we're considering it, but it's still under study."

Perhaps because his divine sense was now firmly established, Elder Yi became exceptionally gentle, even having the leisure to engage in conversation with it: "Don't worry~ you won't die."

The staff's light shifted, and the Gate of the Dead instantly engulfed the area, leaving only a layer of silkworm molts to continue blocking the flow of energy.

"Teachers? These are all—"

As soon as Huo Yuhao regained his vision, what he saw was the countless dead souls and fires that suddenly turned around and all looked toward this place.

Thousands?

In this valley alone, there are more than 100,000 skeletons crowded together, staring at the invaders on the hills with a deathly stillness.

"This is one of my most satisfying masterpieces, a demiplane that belongs exclusively to the undead."

Re-energizing this place, Elder Yi seemed to have expended a great deal of energy, and even his voice became weak: "Originally, in my plan, this thing would attach the auxiliary abilities of your Martial Soul to you."

"You'd better not mention martial spirits."

Huo Yuhao's face darkened instantly: "Quickly extract the Gold of Life."

"We have to bring it up..."

Old Yi shook his head, then suddenly detached from his body and transformed into a spirit, pressing him down in the center of a magic array: "Now that we have this thing, wouldn't it be a waste not to make use of it?"
