Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 208 A Lame Excuse (Daily)

Huo Yuhao's return speed was somewhat faster than originally expected. Due to Electrolux's intervention, the meteorite fragments would continue to fly at an altitude of nearly 100,000 meters for a long time before landing at the designated location as Electrolux had predicted.

Even though they had only just arrived at the border of the Star Luo Empire, and could barely make out the outline of the Star Luo Imperial City, Electrolux carried out an assassination from such a distant distance.

Although Dai Huabin is still alive, he is actually dead.

This kind of assassination that spanned time was an eye-opener for Huo Yuhao, a country bumpkin who only knew how to stab people with a knife.

That's right. Douluo Continent isn't Ashina. Super strongmen like Poison Undying can even transform themselves into legendary beings hundreds of meters tall. Their methods of killing should naturally be beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After this battle, Huo Yuhao truly witnessed one of the methods of a top expert, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Since Electrolux has prepared an assassination that will actually take place some time later, Huo Yuhao's choice can be slightly changed.

The initial reason for wanting to wipe out all the secret guards of the White Tiger Duke's mansion was to reduce his own motivation to kill Dai Huabin. Now the situation has changed, and Dai Huabin has been clearly dealt with. Huo Yuhao needs a survivor to prove that he knows he is being targeted by Dai Huabin.

Only in this way can Huo Yuhao launch an attack on the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Even if news of Dai Huabin's death comes after a period of time, Huo Yuhao can still turn the tables on him.

The White Tiger Duke's response that a perfectly healthy person was killed by a meteorite is absurd to everyone. Shrek Academy had just pried the assassin's true identity out of his mouth, and you immediately gave such a perfunctory reason. Everyone will only have one thought.

The story that Dai Huabin was killed by a meteorite is a lie. The truth is that he was secretly hidden away because he knew that the crime of assassinating two core disciples of Shrek Academy was too serious.

At that time, not only Shrek thought so, but all the countries and forces thought so, and even the White Tiger Duke stationed on the border would probably think that Dai Huabin had been transferred under a lame excuse.

Only those who were actually in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion knew that Dai Huabin had indeed been killed by a meteorite, and that in the time leading up to his death, all the people of Xingluo City had witnessed a spectacular meteor shower.

Back in the Star Dou Forest, the six illusory golden wings behind Huo Yuhao slowly retracted. Since Huo Yuhao had only just crossed the border of the Star Luo Empire and had already turned back, only half an hour had passed when he returned to the Star Dou Forest.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was waiting early in a cave, accompanied by three Crimson Demon Hounds and the unconscious guard.

Upon seeing the illusory six wings on Huo Yuhao's body and sensing the repulsive aura emanating from him, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't help but frown.

"I told you you have a lot of unpleasant odors."

Huo Yuhao couldn't respond to this, so he changed the subject: "The meteorite you gave me is very useful."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out the White Tiger Dagger without hesitation and made several cuts on his body. Blood immediately soaked Huo Yuhao's clothes, turning the originally bright red blood into a deep red color.

"Disguise, deception, your human world is truly complex."

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's tone carried a hint of disdain, its eyes also held a touch of curiosity.

"These are the rules of survival in the human world, which are different from those in the world of soul beasts. When faced with an enemy, the question is whether to attack, retreat, or cooperate."

"Without cooperation, it would have been impossible for humanity to emerge from individual settlements, transform them into city-states, and then into empires. However, cooperation also brought about many complex relationships, which gave rise to even more complex emotions and behaviors."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed thoughtful about Huo Yuhao's explanation. Huo Yuhao's complex emotions had a strong impact on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Even if it was just a glimpse of such a complex relationship and emotion through other people's memories, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't help but yearn for it.

This kind of thing was fatally tempting to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, like seeing a brand new world. If it hadn't seen another world, perhaps the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would have been content with the status quo and accepted its life as an auspicious beast, revered by all beasts.

But when a brand new world unfolded before her, even though this new world was full of dangers and darkness that did not exist in the world of soul beasts, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could not suppress its curiosity.

After all, she had only exchanged memories with Huo Yuhao before, gaining insight into Huo Yuhao's life over the past ten years from an outsider's perspective. But these memories ultimately did not belong to her. She longed to have a unique, complex, splendid, and colorful life of her own.

"There's nothing wrong with a mundane life. Many people dream of having such a life, and you've already lived this perfect life for 15,000 years. Believe me, you won't like the human world."

Seeing the eager look in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sense something was wrong. He advised the Three-Eyed Golden Lion not to take its good fortune for granted, while binding the hands and feet of the unconscious Soul Sect member and leaving several wounds on his body.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion merely snorted in dissatisfaction at Huo Yuhao's advice. Huo Yuhao's lecturing reminded him of Di Tian, ​​who always advised him in the tone of someone who had been through it all.

He's just a kid in his teens, why does he act so mature?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned its head away in displeasure, refusing to look at Huo Yuhao.

"In short, thank you for the meteorite. If I happen to run into you in the Star Dou Forest next time, I'll treat you to some food from the human world... if it suits your taste."

Huo Yuhao spread his figure, and six illusory golden wings unfolded behind him again. He flew close to the ground at an extremely fast speed and disappeared in an instant.

"This guy just left like that?"

As soon as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned its head, it discovered that Huo Yuhao had turned into a distant golden dot of light and disappeared from its sight in an instant.

It stomped its foot angrily, and several small golden flames shot out from its paw, splashing onto the ground. One of them landed on the leg of the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, burning it so much that the creature instinctively recoiled.

Why are you taking your anger out on me? I didn't leave.

The three heads of the three-headed red demon mastiff simultaneously showed a wronged expression, pitifully looking at the three-eyed golden lion.
