Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 950 Since things have come to this, let's eat first (6K)

At this moment, various soul energies flowed freely within Huo Yuhao's body, each performing its function and guarding its position under the balance of his flowing body, fully enveloping the power of the soul bones and injecting it into his limbs and bones.

Huo Yuhao's physical body, tempered by the Stormy Cliff, is now comparable to that of a typical 100,000-year-old soul beast. However, this only refers to the physical strength in terms of resilience, not the overall physical strength.

But now, with the nourishment of the soul bone power, Huo Yuhao's bones have become increasingly hard, and their strength is perhaps comparable to that of Atai's hard bones.

You have to understand, Atai and Xiaobai managed to hold off Xiong Jun, the king of destruction, for a whole day. Even if they did it with the help of Zhuang Lao's constant healing, it was already quite an achievement. How many things in the world can withstand the power of Xiong Jun's terrifying claws?

Half of the priceless soul bones were quickly gone, and Huo Yuhao's bones turned into jade at this moment, and began to be faintly tinged with a golden luster.

"I can't inhale anymore."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand with a pained expression. This thing was just like other good things such as the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. It was good, but in reality, even the ferocious beasts of the far north couldn't withstand being stuffed into it all at once.

Huo Yuhao was in a similar situation, having absorbed more than fifty soul bones in succession. Although he felt full of power, he felt nauseous whenever he looked at these soul bones.

This is just like eating. If you find something delicious, you're probably lacking that element. If you feel nauseous just looking at something, you probably shouldn't eat it; you'd just throw it up anyway.

However, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever felt the nauseating sensation that Huo Yuhao experienced when absorbing soul bones.

Firstly, an ordinary Soul Master can absorb at most six Soul Bones, seven at most. Secondly, even if one can forcibly absorb the nutrients within the Soul Bones to nourish one's own bones like Huo Yuhao—not everyone can forcibly create one with a basket of Soul Bones.

Soul bones, a whole basketful!

Even after tens of thousands of years in the Douluo Continent, no one has been able to connect this noun and this quantifier together.

Even though Shrek Academy has a considerable reserve of soul bones, all of them are neatly arranged and categorized. Only with Huo Yuhao are the soul bones scattered haphazardly everywhere.

No, there's another place, similar to Huo Yuhao's.

Deep within the Star Dou Forest, before a place of great peril, Di Tian was staring blankly at a pile of soul bones in front of him.

The pile of soul bones, like a small mountain, was stacked in front of Di Tian. Di Tian sat there blankly in front of the mountain of soul bones, not saying a word for a long time.

Suddenly, a golden figure rushed over from a distance and landed next to Di Tian with a thud.

"Uncle Di Tian, ​​why are you standing here in a daze?" Qiu'er looked at Di Tian, ​​then at the surroundings, and asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly assigning so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts to watch over me and prevent me from going out?"

"Many of the soul beasts in their nests have disappeared. What happened?"

"Uh, this..."

Qiu'er's question went straight to the heart of the matter, making Di Tian even more distressed and conflicted.

What could he say?

He said he had gone to give money to that bastard from Shrek Academy, and that he wouldn't be able to protect this Soul Bone Mountain in front of him for long, and would have to give it away soon?

Di Tian, ​​who has always been at the top of the food chain, is not good at speaking, so the scene immediately became stiff, and the atmosphere became increasingly strange.

"This, this."

Di Tian opened his lips, but couldn't utter a single fart; saying such a thing would be far too embarrassing.

"No, I just felt a sudden fluctuation in the Qi of Star Dou Forest. A stronger force of destiny has taken over. That can't be right. Could it be that guy Huo Yuhao?"

Wang Qiu'er looked at Di Tian suspiciously, then shook her head: "No, no, even if you, Uncle Di Tian, ​​lost to Huo Yuhao, it wouldn't cause such a strong fluctuation in luck. Besides, no matter how strong that guy is, he can only bully me. He definitely can't beat you."

"For the Qi fluctuations to be of this scale, the entire Star Dou Forest would have to have been utterly crushed by the human world, which is impossible, isn't it?"

The more Wang Qiu'er said this, the less Di Tian knew what to say. The beast tide had indeed been thoroughly beaten down by humans.

After two days of siege, the humans didn't even manage to drag the soul beasts to the point of running out of ammunition and food. By relying on soul tools to inflict damage, they killed more than 400,000 soul beasts!

The actual harm they have caused to humans, the number of casualties, is probably less than a thousand!

This includes the injured; if we only count the death toll, it's hard to say whether it exceeds one hundred.

The auspicious beast had accumulated resources for over ten thousand years, but it was unlikely to have been able to give birth to so many soul beasts. Now, it's all gone to waste; Di Tian has given them all away in one go.

Seeing Di Tian's guilty expression, Wang Qiu'er's face darkened considerably. She raised an eyebrow and tentatively spoke.

"Uncle Di Tian, ​​you're not going to unleash a beast tide, are you?"

Seeing Di Tian nod with difficulty, Wang Qiu'er felt even more uneasy.

"Not only did they unleash a beast tide, but they also lost?"

Seeing Di Tian nod again, Wang Qiu'er's vision went black.

"Are these soul bones compensation for the human world? I guess this is a condition Huo Yuhao proposed?"

How did you know?

Di Tian was greatly surprised. When did the auspicious beast become so good at divination?

"How do I know? How do I know?"

Wang Qiu'er immediately got angry, jumping onto Di Tian and kicking and hitting him: "Why didn't you tell me first? I'm the soul beast who knows the human world best! Even if you wanted to fight, why didn't you tell me?"

Her aura fluctuated constantly. Qiu'er knew in her heart that Di Tian did not launch the beast tide for his own selfish desires, but for the future of all soul beasts.

What angered her was—why didn't you ask me before you launched the beast tide!

I am the only soul beast who has personally experienced the human world!

I am the only soul beast who knows about soul tools and Shrek City!

When I saw this Soul Bone Mountain, I could tell with my own eyes that it was Huo Yuhao's bastard who put forward this condition. If you had taken me with you, you wouldn't have lost so badly, right?

Besides, what are you going to use to fight Shrek City? You must know that several of my friends are in Shrek City.

Wang Qiu'er looked at Di Tian, ​​who remained silent, as if he wouldn't utter a single word no matter how hard she tried. She didn't know what to say, so she just sighed.

"Tell me the whole story, and the details of the compensation."

The auspicious beast looked helplessly at Di Tian. What could be said now that things had come to this? Let's eat first... no, let's review the situation first.
