Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 59 Night Hawk Beast

Orange drove the all-terrain detection soul tool at high speed through the forest.

Since Elder Xi is a Title Douluo, there is no need to worry about the output of soul power. Ju Zi turned the detector speed to the maximum, and Huo Yuhao used mental detection to carefully examine the reaction of every key node of the soul tool and record it.

This was a task given to him by Xuan Ziwen, and his abilities were also very suitable for observing the operation of the soul tool.

Although the Dark Elf Forest is only a gathering place for medium-sized soul beasts, it is still very vast. Even with Orange running at full speed, it took half a day to barely cross the outer perimeter of the Dark Elf Forest.

They have now reached the central part of the forest, where most of the spirit beasts are now at the thousand-year level, forcing Huo Yuhao and his group to slow down.

"Senior Orange, be careful. My mental detection range is only about 600 meters in diameter. Beyond that distance, some soul beasts can already launch ranged attacks against us."

"Okay, Yuhao. While you're at it, could you keep an eye out for a suitable soul beast for me? Something that's eight or nine thousand years old is fine, quality doesn't matter."

"I see."

Orange has very low requirements for soul beasts; she only needs to provide a suitable soul ring. In fact, she has hardly ever used the first four soul skills.

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, you don't need to use it if you don't want to; their method of entering the Mingde Hall is not through combat.

The group continued on their journey, encountering several thousand-year-old soul beasts that discovered and harassed them, which served as a good opportunity to test the defensive capabilities of their soul-guided detection devices.

The all-terrain detection soul tool developed by Xuan Ziwen not only integrates detection functions but also has relatively strong defensive capabilities. Its shortcoming is that its attack power is not high, as it is only equipped with four level-five soul cannons, which can barely deal with some soul beasts with a cultivation level of only ten thousand years.

The several thousand-year-old soul beasts did not cause any trouble for Huo Yuhao and his companions. Under Ju Zi's skillful control, most of their attacks were dodged, and only a few attacks landed on the soul tools, causing no real damage.

The terrain of the Dark Elf Forest is not complicated, and the detection soul tool did not encounter much trouble here. At the same time, Huo Yuhao's mental detection avoided many dangers.

In one afternoon, the group arrived at the edge of the core area, where several soul beasts with cultivation levels approaching ten thousand years had already appeared.

According to the information Huo Yuhao obtained at the academy, the soul beast chosen for him by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the Night Hawk Beast, roams the core area of ​​the Dark Elf Forest.

The Night Hawk Beast is a soul beast that only comes out to hunt at night. It looks like an owl and has both dark and spiritual attributes.

The Nighthawk has a powerful skill: it can spot weaknesses. Its eyes can find the weakest point in its prey's defenses. Once the weakness is revealed, the damage from its attack will increase by 30%, and the damage will double when attacking the weakness.

The Nighthawk has no color in its field of vision. Once its eyes lock onto a prey's vulnerable spot, a red dot that only it can see will appear.

The Nighthawk will relentlessly pursue any prey that shows a red dot, and the red light will only disappear after the prey is killed.

What Huo Yuhao wanted was this skill of discerning weaknesses. With Ice Emperor by his side, his attack power was not weak. With this skill of discerning weaknesses, Huo Yuhao would be even more at ease.

"Senior Orange, let me find a suitable soul beast for you right here. The cultivation level of the soul beasts here matches your requirements. Then, we'll enter the core area together. The soul beast I want only appears at night, so I'll have to make sure everyone doesn't get any rest tonight."

Huo Yuhao said with a hint of apology.

"It's okay, Yuhao. We came out with you anyway, so why are you talking about dragging us down?"

Orange said in a very heartwarming way.

Meng Hongchen nodded in agreement.

Old Master Xi naturally had no objections. A Title Douluo could easily stay up this late at night, especially since the task of keeping watch was already on his shoulders.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. It's so good to have partners.

Without further delay, the group rested briefly before setting off to search for the soul beast.

Since Ju Zi's requirements are not many, soul beasts that meet her criteria can be found everywhere.

Without wasting much time, Orange found a satisfactory soul beast.

Mingde Hall has a special soul tool for testing the age of soul beasts. The soul beast that Ju Zi chose has a cultivation level of about 8,700 years. Although it is not the best soul ring combination, it is not weak either.

After all, Ju Zi's physical condition is not high. Forcibly absorbing a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast might pose unnecessary risks. For soul masters, any risk is not worthwhile, as they do not rely on soul skills to fight.

Elder Xi did not make a move. The three of them joined forces to cripple the soul beast and then handed it over to Ju Zi to execute personally, while they stood guard on the side.

The process of Ju Zi absorbing this soul beast with low bloodline and less than nine thousand years of cultivation was not smooth. Her strength was basically improved entirely by pills. If she did not have a great opportunity, the Soul Emperor would probably be the pinnacle of her soul master level.

However, Ju Zi was still a Soul King, and in the end, she managed to attach her fifth Soul Ring without any major incident.

Improving one's strength always brings joy. After absorbing the spirit ring, Ju Zi was very happy. However, since she almost forgot how to release her spirit skill, the others did not waste time letting her remember and directly boarded the detection spirit tool to head deeper into the core area.

Not long after Huo Yuhao and his companions began their journey, they discovered a soul beast within the range of their mental detection.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Strangely, this soul beast was on the verge of death.

Huo Yuhao was very careful, worried that it was prey of some powerful soul beast, so he stood far away at the maximum range of his mental detection to observe it.

After observing for a while, it was discovered that the spirit beast had no wounds at all, but its life was hanging by a thread.

Huo Yuhao looked at Elder Xi with his eyes, asking what was going on, but Elder Xi was also puzzled.

The strangeness of the soul beast made the four of them extremely vigilant. A gathering place of soul beasts of this size could not produce a soul beast that could threaten Elder Xi. He was only concerned about the safety of Huo Yuhao and the others.

The soul beast in front of him was not what Huo Yuhao wanted, and he didn't intend to cause trouble. Since he couldn't observe any useful information, Huo Yuhao decided to go around it.

Not wanting to waste any more time here, he was going to find his destination.

Huo Yuhao's suggestion was unanimously approved by Meng Hongchen and Ju Zi. Soul Masters are naturally reluctant to take risks, unlike warlike Soul Masters.

Just as Ju Zi was about to activate the soul-guided detection device to get away from this place, she heard a reminder from Huo Yuhao.

"Orange, don't move."

Not far from the injured soul beast, on a branch of a tree, stood a completely black soul beast that looked very much like an owl. Its head was tilted slightly, and there were two targets in its eyes.

A creature that emits only a faint glow from its bottom indicates that its weakness lies in its abdomen; many of the targets it has seen are like this.

The other one radiated a dazzling red glow all over its body, and its target was its most common prey, but it had never seen such a red glow before.
