Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 196 The Evening Breeze with Added Ingredients (Daily 10,000 Chapters

Feeling his soul power rapidly depleting, Huo Yuhao could only regretfully put away his heavy soul-guided blast energy ray gun. If he continued firing, not only would the heavy soul-guided blast energy ray gun in his hand burn out, but his soul power reserves would also be insufficient.

During the brief rest just now, Huo Yuhao, with a baby bottle in each hand, barely managed to raise his soul power reserves to 80%. However, after firing the four shots, Huo Yuhao's soul power reserves plummeted to only 40%.

The Soul Guidance Ray Gun may be more energy-efficient than the Soul Guidance Cannon, but the Heavy Soul Guidance Burst Ray Gun can hardly be considered to be the same. However, it must be said that the power of this kind of soul tool is indeed extraordinary.

A second-ring Great Soul Master was able to effectively kill a fourth-ring Soul Grandmaster using a level-three heavy soul-guided blast energy ray gun. Although the heavy soul-guided blast energy ray gun had various shortcomings, everything became acceptable under such enormous destructive power.

A pre-prepared shell killed one of the Dark Guards and crippled two others. Four heavy beams killed one and crippled three others. Adding to the two who had died at Huo Yuhao's hands earlier, only nine of the eighteen Dark Guards remained capable of fighting!

A gentle breeze blew, slowly dispersing the thick, impenetrable smoke. The unfortunate man, who had been shot through the abdomen and was breathing heavily, had his eyes dimmed, but now he seemed to regain some of his spirits.

The others finally breathed a sigh of relief. That evil spirit should be gone by now, right?

The other wounded felt the same way; the cool night breeze was so comforting that the somewhat dejected atmosphere dissipated after a gust of wind, and they became more spirited again.

"Quickly bandage it to stop the bleeding."

The fourth brother took a deep breath and walked to the campfire left by Huo Yuhao: "I'll inform the eldest brother to have him, the second master, and the third master ambush this man on the way. Remember, from now on we'll change our strategy: surround him without attacking, create an opening, and drive him to the target location."

As he spoke, the fourth brother took out a communication soul tool from his storage soul tool, which was clearly much more advanced than the one in Blood Bull's hand.

This communication soul tool has a very long effective transmission range, but it is also extremely expensive. If they were not secret guards of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, and the White Tiger Duke was a giant in the military, they would not be qualified to use such a good product.

After informing the three secret guards who were far away in Shrek City, the fourth brother's eyes turned extremely gloomy. In jungle warfare, the pursuer has many advantages, such as the freedom to choose the pace of the attack, and greater physical and psychological advantages. However, the pursued side is not without its own advantages.

For example, choosing the ambush location and time independently, leaving false information to interfere with judgment, are all advantages of the pursued. Huo Yuhao used these advantages to fight two ambush battles, managing to reduce their eighteen-man secret guard team to only nine combatants.

"Ninth Brother, come here, fuck him!"

The fourth brother called out to the ninth brother a few times before remembering that the other brother had been deafened by the loud noise of the cannonballs. He pulled the other brother to his side, gestured with his hands, and signaled the other brother to take care of the eighth brother who had been knocked unconscious by the explosion. Then he arranged for two people to stay and take care of the three who had been crippled by the soul guide ray gun.

The number of the eighteen secret guards who were still alive had suddenly dropped to seven!

A tremendous pressure descended upon Lao Si. He took a few deep breaths, and the cool night breeze still possessed a magical charm, as if it had a calming effect, helping Lao Si regain his composure.

"I'll emphasize it again: surround him but don't attack. If he dares to counterattack, we'll retreat and hold out until the boss and the others arrive. That kid will be dead for sure then. Do you understand?"

"oh!"

The remaining six guards understood, and they followed Huo Yuhao's footprints again.

After several more hours of running, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of foreboding once again.

As the flames rose, white mist rose from Huo Yuhao's clothes, which were damp with dew, as he sat around the campfire.

As the morning mist rises, rays of light create a mesmerizing Tyndall effect, and birdsong gradually fills the air, creating a scene that is almost intoxicating.

But Huo Yuhao knew perfectly well that all of this was just an illusion. In the Star Dou Forest, a place where demons were lurking, dangers lurked everywhere, and there was no beauty to be found.

Thanks to the constant supply from the baby bottle, his soul power reserves were barely enough to sustain his consumption, but his physical and mental energy were running out of resources, especially his mental energy, which he had been on high alert for the entire night.

Huo Yuhao had less than half an hour to rest before the ambush began, and he curled up in front of the campfire for a short nap.

Huo Yuhao took out the insulated steel bucket from his storage soul tool, drank a few mouthfuls, then threw a pinch of white sugar and salt into his mouth, and poured a few more mouthfuls in to quickly replenish his energy.

By this time, he had already ventured deep into the mixed zone, and had brushed past ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts more than once along the way, encountering even more four- or five-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Unfolding the map, Huo Yuhao re-examined his plan based on the pre-prepared positioning and his current situation.

Thanks to the milk bottle supply, Huo Yuhao used his second soul skill multiple times to help him speed up his journey, and at this point he should have left the guards behind him about half an hour behind.

But this is not a good thing. Huo Yuhao can't keep running into the Star Dou Forest like this. He has to change direction. The soul beasts in the mixed zone are already the limit of what he can handle. Once he goes deep into the core zone, any soul beast that is 30,000 to 50,000 years old can easily devour Huo Yuhao alive.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao's biggest problem right now is the secret guards behind him. They haven't shown up yet, which makes Huo Yuhao feel a little worried.

The enemy seemed to have realized Huo Yuhao's intention to slowly kill the guards through a tug-of-war, so they chose to divide their forces and surround him, intending to control his movement range and then launch an attack from a favorable position.

In other words, Huo Yuhao's last remaining advantage has also disappeared. The advantage of being able to freely choose the location and time of battle has quietly vanished under the "sheep-herding tactics" of the Dark Guards.

Huo Yuhao is now like a sheep in a pen, while the guards behind him are like sheepdogs, gradually forcing him into a designated position.

The only good news was that Huo Yuhao didn't hear a single barely perceptible explosion during the evacuation. This meant that by this point in time, the wounded who remained to recuperate, as well as the guards who stayed behind to care for them, should all be dead.
