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

Chapter 45 Legend of the Dragon King

"Yuhao, what are we doing here?"

Looking at the lush green forest around her, Tang Ya couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.

She was naturally familiar with Sunset Forest, but the three of them didn't need to acquire spirit rings, so what were they doing here?

"I'll teach you how to use your Devouring Talent to cultivate."

Huo Yuhao explained softly, and as he finished speaking, his pupils glowed with a pale golden light, pulling Tang Ya and Gu Yuena into the shared mental detection.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya immediately understood Huo Yuhao's meaning, nodded, and said nothing more.

Soon, with the help of mental detection, Huo Yuhao led the two to an open space. Although it was called an open space, it looked like a battlefield where two huge soul beasts had fought.

Large swathes of trees were snapped in half, some bearing grotesque claw marks, others covered in scorched traces. For plants alone, the scene was utterly devastating.

Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at Tang Ya and spoke in a gentle voice.

"What you need to do now is to act as a transit point between them, allowing the vitality of the entire system to flow."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"If vitality is completely confined to individual plants in the environment, then the entire environment will be like a stagnant pool. On the contrary, only by allowing it to circulate in and out can the water not become smelly."

"Qingde is not only a tree of vitality, but also a weathervane that connects all things."

Listening to Huo Yuhao's somewhat cryptic words, Tang Ya scratched the back of her head and said hesitantly.

"You mean... I should revive them by drawing life force from other plants?"

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

"In this process, you can extract some life force as a reward."

Following Huo Yuhao's instructions, Tang Ya arrived in front of a thick giant tree. She opened her palm, and a dark blue silver grass continued to extend until it touched the tree trunk, from which she extracted a portion of its life force.

She then turned around and came to a tree stump that had been broken in half, and poured a portion of the life force she had gained into it.

In just a moment, a tiny green bud peeked out from the broken stump, making the once lifeless tree stump look like it had been reborn.

"...I understand!"

"Let life flow, forming a healthy cycle!"

Tang Ya's eyes lit up. Realizing what was going on, she became like a porter, tirelessly extracting life force from those huge trees, keeping a portion of it in her body as payment, and injecting the rest into those dying plants.

To put it simply, it means the middleman makes a profit from the price difference.

Gu Yuena watched this scene silently. Gradually, it was as if a breeze was blowing through the forest, and the newly reborn buds swayed gently. Tang Ya seemed to be accepted by the surrounding plants and completely integrated into the environment. With each step she took, countless plants undulated with her movements.

As time passed, the collapsed giant trees, the torn grass, and the withered shrubs, the scene that had been ravaged by the soul beasts, gradually began to show signs of green. The ecosystem that was almost destroyed was restored and life returned.

Meanwhile, the life force accumulated within Tang Ya's body also increased during this process. If this area were completely resolved, the life force obtained would be enough for her to digest for a considerable period of time.

Seeing that the other party had grasped the knack so quickly, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile. Gu Yuena, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but glance at him when she heard the laughter.

"I didn't know you knew about this."

"I just wanted to give it a try, and judging from the results, the plants didn't seem to resist it."

Huo Yuhao explained with a light laugh.

Regardless of whether plants share the same values ​​as humans, Tangya's ability to save other plants today might allow her to save herself next time. As plants with no ability to resist, they would not refuse such an opportunity.

From a certain perspective, it may seem that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker, but once the scope of the investigation is broadened, it becomes clear that balance is the true nature of things.

As they were talking, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt the sound of wind behind him, and the next second a pair of arms wrapped around his neck from behind.

"Yuhao—"

Tang Ya excitedly opened her hand, revealing the Blue Silver Grass radiating life energy. All the life force she had accumulated from her busy work had been gathered here.

"This is for you."

"Forehead?"

Before Huo Yuhao could react, Tang Ya had already taken the opportunity to turn her head and give him a light kiss on the cheek, her tone serious.

"You taught me all this, so I feel that the first person I should give back this vitality to is you."

".Thanks."

After a moment of stunned silence, Huo Yuhao reached out and took the exceptionally beautiful Blue Silver Grass. Although its effects were not as good as the Life Gold, carrying it with him for a long time would still be of great benefit to his health.

"Hmm, I'll go make another one for Auntie."

After saying that, Tang Ya gave him another quick poke on the face before smiling and continuing to work. Seeing how energetic she was, Huo Yuhao touched his cheek, which still had some drool on it, and gently tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Gu Yuena, standing to the side, silently watched this scene. Her eyes flickered slightly, and Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at her, as if he had noticed her gaze.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Gu Yuena shook her head, then suddenly seemed to sense something and looked towards a certain spot deep in the forest.

There's something there.

"Um?"

Huo Yuhao looked up and followed Gu Yuena's gaze, immediately understanding what she was talking about.

"Are you talking about the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"

Although he was somewhat puzzled as to how Gu Yuena had discovered it without investigation, he didn't dwell on it and slowly recounted the information he knew.

He naturally had some thoughts about this place, which he had visited several times in his previous life, but he had temporarily given up on them because he was too weak.

Putting aside whether his ice-attribute martial soul can currently overcome the outer layer of poison barrier, even if he successfully enters, his current strength might not be enough to move the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and make it his soul spirit.

Not to mention the icy spring, its main selling point is that anyone who dares to drink it is guaranteed to die.

The only thing that could possibly work is the "Longing for Autumn Dew," but awakening one's main martial soul a second time when one is weak would put a huge strain on the body, making it a waste of time and effort.

"It's not spring water."

After listening to Huo Yuhao's introduction, Gu Yuena gently shook her head, her tone unusually complicated.

"Those are the remains of the Dragon King. The spring you mentioned is merely formed from a portion of the power that dissipated from the remains."

"Dragon King?" Huo Yuhao subconsciously looked at Gu Yuena: "Someone like you?"

"I guess so, but I'm different from them."

Gu Yuena said calmly, "Although they are stronger than me, if they are still alive, they will have to kneel down when they see me."
