Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 404 Soul Bone +1 (10,000 per day)

Huo Yuhao rubbed his hands together and excitedly approached the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. The bear's spirit rings were not very attractive to Huo Yuhao, but its bear claws were something that even Ning Tian, ​​the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, had not been able to get his hands on.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly pulled out his notebook, which he used to keep recipes, and found the dishes that Ning Tian had once introduced to him.

Braised Bear Paw in Milk Broth: Take the paw of a snow bear that is about 3,000 years old, preferably the right paw. Slice the soaked bear paw into diagonal slices, put it into milk broth, add winter bamboo shoots, bok choy and other ingredients, and simmer until the broth is milky white and thick.

Huo Yuhao swallowed hard. Even Ning Tian could only eat a thousand-year-old snow bear paw at most, but this time he had a pair of dark gold dinosaur paws!

He took out the White Tiger Dagger. Although its combat power was no longer up to Huo Yuhao's needs, its sharpness was still unquestionable. It could still serve as a scabbard and a small knife for cutting meat without any problems.

Following the armpit of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Huo Yuhao avoided the tough dark gold fur, aimed carefully, and slashed. Without the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's highly defensive fur to block the way, Huo Yuhao's White Tiger Dagger easily pierced through.

"Bears may look clumsy, but they are actually quite cunning."

While skinning the dark gold dinosaur bear, Huo Yuhao also gave Wang Dong a lesson in common knowledge.

"Generally speaking, bear-type spirit beasts will not choose humans as prey unless they are starving. It's not because they don't like humans, but because they know that humans are difficult to deal with. This alone puts them ahead of the vast majority of spirit beasts."

"They may look clumsy and stupid, but they are actually quite cunning. Even when they choose to hunt humans, they will carefully select the terrain. Some bear-type spirit beasts will even specifically choose to hunt humans on foggy days."

"Because in this kind of weather, without mental detection, from a distance, a bear standing upright doesn't look much different from a human. The reason why this dark gold dinosaur bear waved earlier was also one of the deceptive tactics."

"When a human soul master thinks he has encountered someone else and goes closer, he will find that what is waving at him is not a human at all, but a giant bear. However, if Dawutian can see this clearly, he has already entered the bear's hunting range."

Huo Yuhao's words sent a chill down Wang Dong's spine.

Huo Yuhao smiled at the nervous Wang Dong, then turned the giant bear under him over and continued skinning it.

"This dark gold dinosaur bear must be starving to have targeted the two of us, but even so, do you see it hasn't lowered its guard even slightly?"

"From the beginning, this golden dinosaur bear acted harmlessly, quickly approaching the two of us while swaying around and rubbing against trees, making us mistakenly believe that we were not its target."

"Even if you throw fruit at it, it won't eat it, because if there's any poison in this apple, it'll die here. If it gets any closer to us, as long as it can successfully attack and injure someone, we can get our hands on over 200 pounds of meat."

Huo Yuhao's tone was calm, but it made Wang Dong even more alarmed. After the age of the soul beasts increased, they were all so smart.

Wang Dong still felt uneasy about the claw that was rushing towards him with a foul stench. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao seemed to have been prepared and activated his invincible shield just before the attack.

Huo Yuhao rolled up the peeled bear skin and put it into his storage soul tool before saying, "Generally speaking, soul beasts that are not at the ten-thousand-year level are not this slippery, but this is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, so we can't judge it by common sense."

"Furthermore, the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear just wants a good meal, while we, after killing it, will not only eat it, but also skin it and sell it or make it into armor. Thinking about it this way, we humans are actually more terrifying."

When Wang Dong heard Huo Yuhao mention the word "eat," his eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes, we're still the better ones. Eat, eat, eat! I want to eat, eat, eat!"

Huo Yuhao didn't waste any time and carefully cut the meat off the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Even if only the best tenderloin, pork shoulder, and hind leg meat were taken from this one piece of meat, it would weigh several hundred pounds, which made Elder Xuan, who was secretly guarding it, beam with joy.

Huo Yuhao, who had just chopped off the two bear claws and was about to put them into his storage soul tool, suddenly changed his expression. His smile turned into a blank stare, then into disbelief, then into ecstasy, and finally settled on fervor.

Yes, fanaticism.

As if realizing something, Wang Dong gasped, his germaphobia temporarily disappearing, and reached out to take the right bear paw that Huo Yuhao handed him.

He raised his palm like a knife, severing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right forepaw, and in a few swift movements tore the rear half apart, pulling out a strange piece of bone.

This bone is a beautiful dark gold color, radiating a rich soul power.

The bones, resembling a small hand, have five narrow, sharp blades at the front, like a miniature version of a dinosaur claw. A dark golden halo flows across the blades like ripples on water, making it look like a superior divine weapon.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone is an externally attached soul bone.

Even a top genius may not necessarily possess an external soul bone.

However, those with external soul bones inevitably became top-tier powerhouses in the end.

Elder Xuan also came over at this moment, his voice full of shock: "The strongest right palm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear! Back then, a Soul Master who obtained the left palm bone relied on this Soul Bone to travel the world, and even his title included the word 'left', which shows how important this Soul Bone was to him."

"This is the highest-grade soul bone that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can produce. My goodness, this is even more precious than a 100,000-year soul bone. Yuhao, Yuhao, it's one thing to encounter a 100,000-year soul beast sacrificing itself in the far north, but how come you have such good luck in the Star Dou Forest?"

Elder Xuan examined the precious right palm bone for a moment, then tossed it to Huo Yuhao.

"You've got incredible luck, kid. This is just...this..."

Huo Yuhao then casually gave the external soul bone to Wang Dong.

"what?"

Wang Dong was completely bewildered and instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Don't refuse, don't decline. Take it to increase your self-defense capabilities. I don't have a good connection with this soul bone, and it wouldn't be easy for me to absorb it."

Huo Yuhao didn't dislike the soul bone for not being strong enough; all external soul bones are strong.

He couldn't use this thing. In his words, if a ranged soul tool couldn't help him and a melee soul tool couldn't save him, then a single Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul bone was meaningless.

Moreover, he only knows a little bit of boxing at most, and things like claws are really not suitable for him.

His skills were the culmination of many lifetimes, a skill that most people could only acquire in a few lifetimes. It had long since formed its own system. Putting the Dark Gold Terror Claw on him was no different from forcing it in; it was completely ineffective.
