Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 24 I wish I hadn't given it away.

The twelve people were clearly taken aback when they saw Huo Yuhao, especially after sensing his cultivation level; their expressions became rather strange.

How did someone who doesn't even seem to be a first-tier player get here?

"Hello, little brother."

Zhang Lexuan, who was in the lead, was the first to come to her senses. She did not look down on Huo Yuhao because of his low cultivation level, and took the initiative to step forward and greet him with a smile.

"Would it be convenient for us to set up camp nearby? The forest is very dangerous at night, and it would be good for us to stay together and look out for each other."

After asking, she quickly added, "Don't worry, we won't bother you at night."

"It's alright, this open space is quite large, please make yourselves at home, ladies."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao agreed, Zhang Lexuan thanked him, then turned and gestured to the others. Upon receiving the order, everyone quickly took out tents and began to set them up.

Zhang Lexuan then looked at Huo Yuhao again and took the initiative to greet him, "Little brother, did you come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone? Didn't you have any adults with you?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly. "I came here alone to obtain a spirit ring. It's just that the spirit beasts I need only appear in the mixed zone, so I came here."

As he spoke, he took out an enormous kebab from his storage space, and then put on a glove-like soul tool whose function was unclear.

Is it really the same person?

Zhang Lexuan was stunned, but she didn't ask Huo Yuhao how he managed to get here safely all by himself.

Asking questions that might involve the other person's secrets will only raise their suspicions and won't have any other effect. We've only just met, why would they tell you anything?

However, being able to safely pass through the outer area does not mean that this child is strong enough to operate in the mixed area where ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts often appear. You should know that even she, who has reached the level of an eighty-year-old soul saint, does not dare to stay in there for long. She hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to ask.

"Since you're traveling alone, why don't you come with us tomorrow?"

"If you encounter a soul beast that you need, we can also help you obtain it. After all, with your cultivation level, it's too dangerous for you to be alone in the mixed zone."

Looking at Huo Yuhao alone, she inexplicably thought of herself when her family was wiped out. Anyway, judging from his cultivation level, it shouldn't take him too long to obtain a hundred-year soul ring.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head.

"Thank you, big sister, but the soul beast I'm looking for is rather special, so I won't trouble you any further. I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning."

"Alright then, be careful."

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything more. Just as she was about to go back, the taco in Huo Yuhao's hand began to emit a faint aroma of roasted meat after being heated by the high temperature of the soul tool.

At this moment, the group that came with Zhang Lexuan had just finished setting up and were taking out dry food from their storage space to make do with a meal. They all smelled the aroma and their stomachs rumbled embarrassingly. For a moment, they felt that the hard dry food in their hands was tasteless. Even Zhang Lexuan subconsciously swallowed.

At such close range, Huo Yuhao naturally noticed the other party's movements, and the smile on his face couldn't help but stiffen a little. Zhang Lexuan's pretty face turned red.

"Ahem, um..."

Before she could explain, a steaming hot taco was already placed in front of her.

"Big sister, please have some."

Since the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, he naturally couldn't eat alone.

"Uh? No, no need."

Seeing herself in such an embarrassing state, even Zhang Lexuan, with her usually calm demeanor, felt her face burning. Looking at the barbecue wrap handed to her, she initially wanted to refuse, but ultimately swallowed the rest of her words, took it from her hand without hesitation, lowered her head, and awkwardly thanked him.

"Thanks."

Having not revealed her identity earlier, she now felt even more unable to say it.

After all, he had just said he wouldn't bother them, but then he turned around and freeloaded off their meal. It's incredibly embarrassing.

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say much. He simply took out another taco and heated it up in the same way. Zhang Lexuan, clearly unwilling to take advantage of him for nothing, hesitated for a moment before revealing the origin of the taco.

"My name is Zhang Lexuan, and I come from Shrek Academy. Our people will be taking turns keeping watch tonight, so you can rest assured. I will let you know if anything happens."

"Thank you, Sister Lexuan. My name is Huo Yuhao, and I come from Tiandou City."

Huo Yuhao

Zhang Lexuan smiled and nodded, "I'll remember. It's nice to meet you, little brother."

The conversation ended there, and she wisely refrained from disturbing Huo Yuhao any further. She turned and returned to her own camp amidst the envious gazes of the others.

Seeing everyone staring longingly at the food in her hands, Zhang Lexuan gave them a warning look, indicating that they should stop bothering Huo Yuhao, before sharing some of the roasted meat from the wrap with everyone.

Even though it was reheated, the roasted meat was still tender and juicy. Although the ingredients were not as good as what the inner disciples usually ate, the taste was far superior. Even Zhang Lexuan subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao a few more times, and a sense of regret inexplicably arose in her heart.

If I had known it was this delicious, I wouldn't have shared it.

After finishing dinner, Huo Yuhao went into his tent. He knew Zhang Lexuan's personality quite well, and since she hadn't seemed a bit off during their previous conversation, he wasn't on guard anymore.

A good rest will allow me to be in top condition for tomorrow's mixed zone challenge.

Nothing happened overnight. When Huo Yuhao woke up the next day, it was just dawn. Zhang Lexuan was on night watch.

Zhang Lexuan was a little surprised to see him get up so early, but then she realized that he was leaving alone, and after hesitating, she extended another invitation.

"Are you really not coming with us?"

"No."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, put the tent into his bracelet, and smiled at Zhang Lexuan.

"Goodbye, Sister Lexuan."

Watching Huo Yuhao gradually disappear into the forest, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"What a special child."

After entering the mixed zone, Huo Yuhao became much more cautious. Perhaps it was good luck, but he didn't encounter any soul beasts along the way. After traveling for most of the day, he had reached a point close to the core area. If he continued to go deeper, the danger would be much greater.

Suddenly, his mental energy seemed to be stimulated, and he subconsciously looked in a certain direction. At that moment, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Hahaha, I'm truly blessed to have survived such a calamity! I've only been out of the woods for a short time and I've already encountered a human with mental attributes!"

As the words fell, the ground in front of Huo Yuhao began to crack inch by inch, and a huge white figure slowly emerged from the crack. Its round body revealed a warm, jade-like color, which made the ten golden rings on it stand out brightly. It was the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that he had met in his previous life.

As the other party appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply in an instant, causing the already humid air in the forest to show signs of condensing into frost.

Seeing his old friend from his past life again brought Huo Yuhao a slight sense of relief, but for some reason, he could clearly feel a sense of tension from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, as if something was chasing him from behind.

"Ahem, human, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Let me introduce myself, my name is Tianmeng Ice Silkworm."

"Of course, you can also call me Brother Tianmeng."
