Douluo Continent: Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao's world, I start by becoming Yao Lao's app

Chapter 75: Deep into the Far North Ice Plains!

(The fourth update for today has been delivered. Please show your support, dear readers!)

On the wide dirt road, Huo Yuhao, dressed in a white outfit, was running with sweat pouring down his face. Each step he took was like a heavy object hitting the ground, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust.

On his back was the Xuanzhong Ruler given to him by the old doctor. The ruler was almost longer than his height. This strange combination made people passing by occasionally cast curious glances at him.

After walking several hundred meters more, Huo Yuhao finally couldn't hold on any longer. He was panting heavily, his feet feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he walked towards the shade of a large tree by the roadside.

Reaching the base of the tree, Huo Yuhao lay face up on the cool grass, letting the sweat on his forehead flow down like a stream.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Yu Tao asked with some concern.

He had seen Huo Yuhao carrying the Xuan Heavy Ruler before and had sensed it, so he knew about the Xuan Heavy Ruler's effect of suppressing cultivation.

What he found unbelievable was that Huo Yuhao, with his cultivation as a first-ring Soul Master, was able to carry this thing and run with him for an hour. He was simply insane!

Huo Yuhao waved his hand weakly, indicating that he was alright. Yu Tao, seeing this, didn't say anything more and went to buy tea from a roadside stall.

"Teacher, this Xuanzhong Ruler is terrifying! My soul power circulation has become sluggish under its weight, making it impossible to fully unleash the Heavenly Net Technique. And this thing is so heavy! What should have been a day's journey has now taken two days, and we still haven't arrived!"

After taking a few heavy breaths, Huo Yuhao's voice sounded hoarse from exhaustion.

"Hehe, how easy is it to cultivate Earth-rank combat skills? You didn't think you were just wandering around on the road, did you? Since this is supposed to be a grueling training vacation, then prepare to enjoy the most arduous treatment. The comfortable life you had in Shrek City is already starting to slip away from you," Yao Lao said with a gloating laugh.

Huo Yuhao shook his head with a wry smile, because carrying the Xuan Heavy Ruler had compressed his cultivation to less than the level of a first-ring Soul Master.

Even though he had cultivated the Heavenly Net Technique to the eighth level, he could only use three levels of its power, and his speed was far slower than before.

Moreover, its abnormal weight almost caused Huo Yuhao to break his waist when he was exerting all his soul power.

Although the far north ice plains are eight thousand miles away from Shrek City, it wouldn't be difficult for Huo Yuhao to reach them within five or six days at his original speed.

However, at the current speed, it would take about ten days to reach the far north ice plains. During those ten days, Huo Yuhao would probably experience what true exhaustion felt like.

"Yuhao, you're the most reckless human I've ever seen when it comes to cultivation. If I had been as fearless as you back then, I would have given those ferocious beasts in the core area a good beating long ago." In the sea of ​​consciousness, Brother Tianmeng said with great admiration.

With a wry smile and a shake of his head, Huo Yuhao took the tea Yu Tao handed him and gulped it down in one go.

After resting for a while, he pushed himself up from the ground, patted the thick body of the Xuanzhong Ruler behind him with a mixture of hatred and love, and once again took heavy steps towards the distance.

The far north ice plains are the northernmost part of the Douluo Continent. This place is covered in snow that never melts, and the environment is extremely cold, making it the habitat of countless ice-attribute soul beasts.

The core area of ​​the far north is just as dangerous as the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. The Star Dou Great Forest is dangerous because of the powerful soul beasts that inhabit it, while the far north is dangerous because its environment is a dead end for humans.

The air here is incredibly dry, and the biting wind sweeps in large snowflakes, cutting through everything on the ground like a sharp blade, leaving it barren.

Even a Title Douluo-level Soul Master would find it difficult to survive here for long, as resisting the extreme cold requires a massive amount of Soul Power every moment. Once their Soul Power is exhausted, the only outcome awaiting them is to sleep forever in this land, either becoming food for Soul Beasts or becoming an eternal landmark of this place.

Moreover, ice-attribute soul masters are extremely rare on the mainland, and few soul masters would come here to hunt soul beasts. Because there are no humans hunting them, the number of soul beasts in the far north ice plains is gradually increasing, and their overall strength can even rival that of the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the eighth day of their journey, Huo Yuhao and Yu Tao finally entered the vicinity of the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Upon arriving here, the map in his hand had become completely blank.

Stopping in his tracks, Huo Yuhao was slightly out of breath. White mist exhaled from his mouth and nose, instantly turning into ice shards that scattered in the air.

Colorful light flashed in his eyes, and the fiery power released by the Flame God Eye instantly spread throughout Huo Yuhao's body, so that he did not feel the slightest bit of cold.

Looking closely at the map, they saw that from their current location, there was a vast open space to the north, and there was also a line of small print on the map.

"The far north, a forbidden zone for humans. Soul beasts roam here! Danger! Danger! Danger!"

The last three dangers are marked in red, which shows how much the mapmakers feared the harsh environment of the far north ice sheet.

"Brother Tianmeng, wake up, we've arrived." Huo Yuhao called out to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea.

"Give directions? Give directions for what?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's groggy voice rang out. "I don't know this place either. Just follow my spiritual guidance to find our target, right? By the way, take off your clothes first, I'll keep you warm. Although you can resist the cold here with the power of your martial spirit, it's not a long-term solution."

"There's no need for that." Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang out from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. Then, a wisp of white flame emanated from the ancient black ring, transforming into a membrane as thin as a cicada's wing that enveloped Huo Yuhao's skin.

Huo Yuhao tried to retract his martial soul, but still didn't feel a trace of cold. On the contrary, Yu Tao, standing to the side, already had a layer of frost on his eyebrows.

"By the way, what should we do with this human?" Tianmeng asked. "We can't take him with us, otherwise it'll definitely cause trouble."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said to Tianmeng, "It's alright, Teacher and I have already made arrangements. Tianmeng, you lead the way, and I'll figure something out later."

"Alright, let's head north for now and get into the core area of ​​this far north. Do you have enough food? We estimate it will take us at least ten days in this far north. There's no shortage of water here, but there's no food for you," Tianmeng said.

"Don't worry, I'm well prepared," Huo Yuhao replied.

Resuming their journey, Huo Yuhao and Yu Tao headed north towards the far north ice plains. Although the biting winds no longer posed a threat to Huo Yuhao, the gradually appearing ice and snow still slowed his pace.

The further north they went, the colder the surrounding environment became. Gradually, even Yu Tao could no longer keep up and had to stop and rest after traveling for a while.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. Huo Yuhao had already ventured deep into the desolate far north. Along the way, they encountered some soul beasts, but under the guidance of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, they never encountered anything that posed a threat to him.

Suddenly, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's urgent voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mental sea.

"Quickly, crawl on your stomach, lie face down and bury yourself in the snow, don't move at all, even if anything touches your body, don't move."

A glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he glanced at Yu Tao beside him and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Sorry, buddy!"
