Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 273 Close Reconnaissance (Daily Roll)

"Everyone, familiarize yourselves with how to use the Soul Guidance System's wingsuit flight device. Next, we need to fly forward for about two more hours. After that, I will go deeper in to conduct reconnaissance and gather intelligence. Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng will come with me."

As the time for the battle approached, Huo Yuhao gradually began to adapt to his role as the commander-in-chief.

"clear!"

Everyone agreed, including Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng. Huo Yuhao had already impressed everyone with his almost omnipotent performance. Although geniuses are arrogant, they will admire those who are even more talented than themselves.

Nearly an hour later, everyone had learned how to use the flying soul tool, and the team set off again.

With the assistance of the flying soul tool, they can fly 500 miles in an hour. However, because the outer court students have lower cultivation levels, their limit is only one hour. Huo Yuhao is no exception; his soul power reserves are only enough to fly for that long.

"Alright, I'll carry you for a while. Yuhao, you should take this time to recover your soul power."

Elder Xuan strolled leisurely out of the woods not far away, as if he had teleported there in an instant.

The lunch break took a while.

When they landed from the sky to rest, it was getting dark, and everyone's stomachs were a little empty. However, Huo Yuhao did not grant their wish to have another meal.

"I'll make everyone a pot of mushroom soup and some sweet soup. For the main course, please make do with the nutritional paste for now."

Huo Yuhao took the nutritional paste handed to him by Teacher Wang Yan: "We need to save time to conduct close reconnaissance and formulate a plan. Saving any amount of time is good. I'll cook for everyone after the mission is over."

Dinner was quickly finished, leaving everyone little time to rest. According to Huo Yuhao's plan, the time for everyone to rest and prepare would be while he went to conduct reconnaissance.

After everything was ready, they were all connected together with a specially made rope and suddenly flew into the sky.

Huo Yuhao's second spirit ring shone, parting the strong wind blowing towards his face and sending it to both sides. The other people in the outer courtyard were all distorted in expression by this strong wind and unable to take care of themselves.

The western border of the Star Luo Empire.

Night had fallen, and tonight there was no starlight or moonlight; in the desolate wilderness, it was pitch black. This was the darkest hour of the night, and soon, as the sun rose in the distant east, a new day would begin.

Suddenly, a white light streaked across the sky, leaving a dazzling trail of flame, as if it were about to cleave the entire sky in two.

The white light was falling towards the ground, and its speed gradually slowed down.

Suddenly, the white light expanded rapidly, like a huge platform that quickly opened up, with a diameter of tens of meters. One could see that the black figures were being supported by the platform formed by the white light and slowly falling to the ground.

"vomit……"

"vomit--"

The sounds of retching rose and fell, the white light faded, and a dozen figures slumped about, some squatting on the ground, others leaning against tree trunks. At least half of them were vomiting.

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt grateful to Wang Yan and Huo Yuhao for letting them eat the nutritional paste. If they had eaten anything else, they would have vomited it all up from the sky.

While everyone was resting, a group of people flew out from the military camp not far away. The old man leading them had a very difficult-to-pronounce name, which was said to be Du Leisi.

Dai Yueheng promptly went to greet them and spoke with the White Tiger Guards who had come to check on the situation, nipping any misunderstandings in the bud.

After resting for a while, Dai Yueheng invited everyone to go to the military camp to rest.

Huo Yuhao remained calm, even though he knew he was now only a wall away from Dai Hao.

To Huo Yuhao's surprise, after resting in the military camp with everyone, Dai Yueheng only briefly met with Dai Hao before coming to Huo Yuhao to report for duty, not much slower than Ma Xiaotao.

With Dai Yueheng's help, Huo Yuhao successfully borrowed a sand table and was emphasizing the most basic anti-tracking principles to everyone.

"Once you enter the jungle, bend what can be bent but don't break it, step over what can be stepped over but don't trample it, and never touch what you don't need to move."

Huo Yuhao's eyes were serious: "If you step on damp, soft ground, immediately smudge the mark with your foot and get off the damp, soft ground. Don't make any other unnecessary attempts to cover it up. Everyone understands?"

"clear!"

Everyone responded.

Dai Hao originally wanted to come in and see the top students of these colleges, but he didn't expect that someone would be giving a lecture. The voice sounded very young, but the things he was talking about were very experienced, even shrewd. They were techniques that even seasoned veterans in the dense forest might not notice.

There are some amazing people in Shrek Academy.

Dai Hao was amazed and hoped that Dai Yueheng would have the opportunity to bring the other party into his camp.

"Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, from now on, you two will be number one and number two. I'll be number three so I can notify you later. We've already analyzed the terrain map together once. Do you have any more questions?"

"no."

The two answered in unison.

"Very good, let's go."

The military's intelligence was very limited. They only knew that the Death Hand bandit gang's main area of ​​operation was in the center of the Mingdou Mountains, and that the gang consisted of more than 300 people, all of whom were young and strong, with Soul Masters making up about one-tenth of the total.

There is no accurate information about who the leader of the bandit group is; all that is known is that he is a Soul Master with a cultivation level of Soul King or above, and his abilities are unknown.

This intelligence was far from sufficient for combat operations, which is why Huo Yuhao chose to continue conducting close-range reconnaissance.

First, he used his flying soul tool to fly to the entrance of the mountain, and then walked into the Mingdou Mountain Range. It was already past 2 a.m., and the time before sunrise was fast approaching. If he had enough time, Huo Yuhao would never have chosen to conduct close reconnaissance at this time.

However, they had to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament in just a few days, so they could only choose to conduct reconnaissance at this time.

Soon, Huo Yuhao made a discovery: it was a section of tree trunk, half of which had been torn apart by something, and there was a cylindrical cavity inside.

Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing was always on, and he probed out with a slight mental fluctuation: "The heartwood of the Wenlan Tree is deep blue. It's gone now. That means it was dug up."

"The heartwood of the Wenlan Tree can be eaten. For Soul Masters who cultivate Yin-cold Martial Souls, its heartwood not only has an auxiliary effect, but also enhances the internal organs' tolerance to Yin-cold Soul Power."

"Since the bandits discovered and mined Wenlan tree heartwood here, their base must not be too far from here. We've found the right place."
