Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 406 My pillow is numb, I need to rest (10,000 words per day)

Time passed by, and the sky gradually darkened.

From afternoon to night, several hours have passed without us realizing it.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Dong let out a sharp shout and suddenly raised his right arm.

With a soft "poof," five dark golden rays of light shot out from the tip of his right finger, each one foot and two inches long.

It is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, resembling five sharp blades.

The five blades had dark gold patterns that flowed like water, and the air seemed to whistle slightly in the face of their sharp, cutting power.

Immediately afterwards, a strange golden stream of light rushed down his right arm and quietly merged with the five sharp blades.

The dark gold blade now features subtle, pure gold patterns, giving it an eerie beauty.

It's finally done.

However, absorbing this soul bone also put considerable pressure on Wang Dong. Soon, Wang Dong put away the five sharp blades, and his right hand returned to normal, without any trace of the dark gold and pure gold.

"Wang Dong, how are you feeling?"

Huo Yuhao helped the somewhat weak Wang Dong up and asked with some curiosity.

"This dark gold Terrorclaw Bear right palm bone seems to have formed some inexplicable fusion with my Light-Slaying Demon right arm bone. I wonder what the effect will be."

"It should be a good thing. Who knows, there might even be a Dark Gold Terrorclaw with mixed attribute attacks."

Elder Xuan also relaxed at this moment.

Unlike Wang Dong, who was in the process of fusing with his soul bone, his heart had been clenched for hours, and he was even more afraid than when he himself was in danger.

If Wang Dong were to run into some trouble while fusing the soul bone, he would be extremely worried.

Fortunately, the final result was good.

"I never expected that a mere two-thousand-year-old external soul bone would be so difficult to absorb. It's much more difficult than many ten-thousand-year-old soul bones. Fortunately, Wang Dong, you have a strong physique and a firm will."

In response to Elder Xuan's praise, Wang Dong merely raised his head somewhat shyly and stole a glance at Huo Yuhao.

"If Yuhao can absorb external soul bones, so can I. Otherwise, how could I have beaten him to a pulp?"

Huo Yuhao felt helpless about Wang Dong's obsession with beating him to a pulp. Fortunately, Wang Dong was basically unable to stand up at this point, and his upper and lower eyelids were drooping, clearly indicating that he was still forcing himself to stay awake.

"You should sleep for a few hours to recover. Tomorrow morning I'll process the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's flesh, and we'll have it for breakfast."

Wang Dong's eyes lit up immediately. He swallowed hard as he looked at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao's cooking skills were already amazing, and with such top-notch ingredients, he couldn't even imagine how delicious tomorrow's breakfast would be.

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan's appetite was whetted. The paws of the Deinonychus bear are known as one of the ten most delicious delicacies in the world. One paw would be perfect for making honey bear paw, and the other for making milk soup bear paw.

However, these two dishes currently lack the necessary ingredients. We don't have honey from the ancient Beedrill or bamboo shoots of the ancient Ice Spirit type, so we have to put both dishes on hold for now.

Even so, being able to eat a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roast meat is a top-notch enjoyment, let alone one made by Huo Yuhao.

"Alright, since that's the case, it's decided then. You two little ones should rest now. I'll protect you. Tomorrow morning we'll eat Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

With a hopeful look on his face, Elder Xuan made the decision.

"Elder Xuan, didn't you say yesterday that this would be a one-time thing, and there would be no next time?"

Although Wang Dong wasn't in much spirits, he still blurted out a joke without thinking.

"Then you won't eat it?"

At this point, Elder Xuan also resorted to shamelessness.

"No, no, no, Elder Xuan, that won't do."

Wang Dong was in a panic, but Huo Yuhao pulled him back to the camp that had already been quickly set up.

Since Elder Xuan was helping to protect him tonight, Huo Yuhao did not continue to set up guards.

Wang Dong must have been really exhausted. He fell asleep shortly after being dragged back to the camp by Huo Yuhao.

Seeing that there was no hope of cultivating with Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao became too lazy to continue cultivating alone and began to ponder the lessons Elder Yi had taught him over the past few days.

The undead, also known as the immortals, are a type of life form that has broken away from traditional life systems.

The study of the dead usually focuses on the areas of corpses and spirits. These two areas share many similarities. Always remember that a corpse without a spirit, no matter how you look at it, is merely a deviation from the proper path.

For many exceptionally powerful individuals, even without a complete corpse, only ashes, they can still summon the opponent's afterimage within an intricately designed magic array, thereby aiding in the battle.

Even if only ashes remain of a few top-tier experts, they still retain a small portion of their intelligence. You can even use the Soul-Summoning Bell and Mind-Control Magic to make them obediently reveal the secrets they kept to themselves in life. In the face of a necromancer, even the dead are not capable of keeping secrets.

Having just embarked on a completely different path and entered a brand new field, Huo Yuhao eagerly absorbed this precious knowledge. However, in this half-dreaming, half-awake state, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to open his eyes, only to find that Wang Dong, who had been sleeping on the other side of the tent, had somehow rolled over and wrapped her two fair arms around his neck, while her thighs were somehow wrapped around his body.

"You little brat"

Huo Yuhao instinctively wanted to freeze Wang Dong, but he quickly stopped himself. He lifted Wang Dong's smooth, fair chin with one hand and looked closely. He noticed that Wang Dong did indeed have an Adam's apple on his neck, which puzzled him.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to open his True Sight Eye to see clearly, Wang Dong was also awakened by Huo Yuhao's actions.

The sun was about to rise in the east when a soft, languid sound came from inside the tent.

"I slept so well—Yuhao, why are you lifting my chin?"

Huo Yuhao quickly withdrew his hand, looking embarrassed, his face flushed red.

He couldn't very well tell Wang Dong, "Hey bro, I suspect you're a girl," could he?

"I was just planning to pull you away, you little rascal, you can't even sleep peacefully."

Huo Yuhao quickly removed Wang Dong's two fair arms that had wrapped around him, and freed himself from the restraints of Wang Dong's two thighs, escaping the octopus-like shackles.

Wang Dong remained motionless, letting Huo Yuhao do as he pleased.

"Can't you move a little?"

Huo Yuhao looked displeased.

Wang Dong, like a silkworm cocoon, shrank back and said pitifully, "My right leg and right arm are numb from being used as a pillow by you, I need to rest."
