Tian Meng asked: "Do you like her?"
“I like it.” Huo Yuhao did not hesitate but said it decisively, but his tone was indifferent. “But what’s the point of just liking someone one-sidedly?”
"Liking her is not enough. I also have to overcome the obstacles in reality. She is a princess who is high above everyone else, and my status is much lower than hers."
Yin Lex's old voice sounded softly: "Child, I am surprised. You have extremely crazy ideas about many things, and even look at life and death lightly, but you are extremely cautious about feelings."
"But it's okay this way. You have to know that after adversity comes good times, love can also turn into hate. The deeper the love, the deeper the hate."
Tian Meng chuckled: "Old man, it seems that you are also very knowledgeable about love. Have you ever been trapped in love before?"
Yin Lex sighed and shook his head: "That's all in the past, there's no need to mention it again."
"It's just that your conversation reminded me of the origin of necromancy."
"Legend has it that in my original world, the first necromancer developed necromancy in order to revive his dead wife."
"Although he failed to revive his wife, he revived her soul and stayed with her soul for the rest of his life until his death."
"Yuhao, work hard at your training. You have only just scratched the surface of the mysteries of necromancy."
After saying that, Yin Lex returned to silence.
Huo Yuhao was a little depressed.
Although this undead magic is cool, you still need a chance to practice it.
It is impossible for him to kill people and absorb their souls like the evil soul master.
"Resurrect your dead wife?"
he muttered.
……
Four hours passed quickly, and Huo Yuhao followed the three seniors to the destination of the soul guide test, Jingyang Mountains.
"Jingyang Mountain Range... Jingyang Ridge? Is there a white-browed tiger on this mountain..."
After a night of rest, Huo Yuhao saw the soul guide that was to be tested.
It was a lightweight soul guide similar to a scanner, held in Orange's hand.
Huo Yuhao asked: "Senior Orange, what kind of soul guide is this?"
Juzi replied, "This is a metal detection soul guide that has been improved by Teacher Xuan. It can keenly capture the energy contained in the rare metals nearby."
"Although this is only a third-level soul guide, it plays a very important role. It is an indispensable tool for us to explore metal deposits."
"Our mission this time is to use it to find some rare metals."
Orange enthusiastically showed Huo Yuhao how to use it and explained it.
Currently, the soul guide is emitting a faint gray light.
"The light from the metal detector soul guide is very weak now. This is normal because some common metals are just below the surface."
"But if some special rare metals are discovered..."
As he spoke, Orange took out a small piece of mithril the size of a fingernail from the storage soul guide, and the light on the detection soul guide instantly added a hint of bright silver.
"If the light is particularly strong, it means that a large mineral deposit has been discovered, and our mission will be successfully completed."
“Is it that simple?” Huo Yuhao asked with a strange expression.
"Easy?" Ke Ke said with a smile, "Do you know how difficult it is to find rare metal deposits? Sometimes you may not find one even after walking in the mountains for several months."
Zi Mu also nodded and said, "But the area where we landed is a rich mining area. We should be able to find it within ten days."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
He was lost in thought.
He was considering whether he should tell the three of them that he had the ability to detect mental objects, so that they wouldn't have to go through the trouble of blindly searching in the wild with the detector.
Senior Orange told him that after Xuan Ziwen improved this detector, its detection radius reached an astonishing one hundred meters.
But my spiritual detection radius is one thousand meters...
After a brief thought, Huo Yuhao decided to keep the secret for now.
The four of them walked slowly forward in the branch, and Orange raised the detection soul guide from time to time to check if the light on it had changed.
They were lucky and had never encountered any soul beasts. This branch was a relatively safe one chosen by Orange, and there were almost no ten thousand year soul beasts.
"Our goal this time is that mountain. None of us have explored it before."
Orange pointed to a high mountain not far away and said, "It's more likely that there are mineral deposits on the mountain. It's enough for us to make a round trip in ten days."
They had not traveled for long when the light on the metal detection soul guide suddenly turned into a bright dark gold.
"Have you discovered anything? This color, could it be black gold?" Ke Ke said with some joy.
Huo Yuhao used his spiritual power to scan the surroundings and said slowly, “It doesn’t seem to be the case.”
"Senior Orange, when Teacher Xuan was improving this metal detection soul guide, did he consider that soul beasts might also have metal properties?"
He looked straight ahead and saw a golden tiger about five thousand years old blocking his way.
Chapter 223 Fighting the Tiger
"Senior, Senior, there is danger ahead."
Huo Yuhao reminded.
This golden tiger has only been in cultivation for five thousand years, so two senior sisters at the peak of Soul Sect level and one senior student at the Soul King level should be enough to deal with it.
"Eh?"
Orange, who was still carefully checking the detector, was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted.
There was a fierce presence approaching quickly in the woods ahead.
"A soul beast is attacking, prepare to fight."
Juzi showed her leadership side. Keke and Zimu nodded in response, holding their respective soul guides in their hands.
Zi Mu held a fiery red sword, which was obviously a melee soul guide. Ke Ke held a huge cannon, and as for Ju Zi, he had orange-shaped soul guide bombs in his arms.
Huo Yuhao did not have time to comment on the choices of the three people. Accompanied by a heart-shaking tiger roar, the golden tiger appeared in front of the four people.
"It's a golden tiger, with about five thousand years of cultivation." Orange immediately judged and commanded, "Purple Wood."
"it is good."
Zi Mu waved his sword and rushed towards Jin Hu.
The golden tiger roared and stretched out a steel-like claw to swing towards Zi Mu.
The tiger claws and the soul-guided sword touched each other, making a clanging sound and some sparks flying.
Zi Mu held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and supported the sword with his left hand, resisting the claw attack of the golden tiger. The golden tiger was looking down at him, and the weight of its entire body was pressed on Zi Mu.
Although he took on Jin Hu's attack, it could be seen from Zi Mu's gritting teeth that he was struggling.
"Keke, orange."
Zi Mu shouted, and five soul rings, two yellow and three purple, appeared behind him. The rich soul power was injected into the sword in his hand, and the fiery red light became brighter.
Ke Ke responded loudly: "I know, I'm not in a daze."
The huge soul-guided cannon formed a sharp contrast with her petite body, and light also emerged from the thick muzzle.
"watch out."
Orange also threw one orange bomb after another at Golden Tiger.
Huo Yuhao watched quietly from the side. He had no intention of assisting or participating in the battle for the time being, but he did not let his guard down.
Originally, he thought that Zi Mu was already a Soul King, and with the addition of Ke Ke and Ju Zi, two peak Soul Masters, it should be more than enough to deal with a mere 5,000-year-old soul beast, right?
But soon, his concerns were proven to be correct.
The golden tiger who was confronting Zi Mu instinctively sensed the danger. He suddenly roared, increased the strength of his paws, pushed Zi Mu away, then swiftly dodged to the side and jumped ten meters away.
The red light on the purple wooden sword tilted and shot into the sky, and the attacks of Keke and Orange were all avoided.
The direction in which the golden tiger dodged was exactly towards Huo Yuhao who was standing beside him.
"Brother Yuhao!"
Juzi and Keke couldn't help but exclaim, and even Zimu looked at him with a worried look.
Huo Yuhao raised his head slightly and looked at the golden tiger that was pouncing towards him in the air. Without changing his expression, he just slightly turned sideways and dodged the golden tiger's attack.
As soon as Jin Hu landed, he saw that he failed, so he roared again and wanted to attack again, but a sudden huge force pressed his head into the ground.
Huo Yuhao exerted force with his right arm, and the golden tiger's body, which was as hard as steel and powerful, was like a toy in front of him.
The solid ground was dug into a big hole by the golden tiger's big head.
The golden tiger tried to struggle to stand up, but he had no power to resist in the hands of the human boy.
Huo Yuhao suppressed the golden tiger with his right hand, while his left hand was not idle either, punching the golden tiger's head again and again like a hammer.
Orange and the other two were about to step forward to help, but when they saw that Jin Hu was completely powerless in front of Huo Yuhao, their eyes became dull.
"Is this... is this the strength of Junior Brother Yuhao?"
The three Oranges were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
Because Huo Yuhao did not release his martial spirit or use his soul guide at this moment, he was using pure physical strength to fight against the golden tiger, yet he still had a clear advantage.
The previous conflict with Wang Shaojie was just the tip of the iceberg of his strength.
Juzi stared at Huo Yuhao in a daze, and felt his curiosity about this junior fellow student grow even stronger.
Jin Hu had been hit dozens of times and was bleeding from all seven orifices. He was unable to move. His struggling body had now fallen flat on the ground, gasping for breath.
Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped what he was doing, grabbed the Golden Tiger's head and threw it in front of Ju Zi and the other two, and asked, "Senior Ju Zi, do you want to use it as your fifth spirit ring?"
Orange was stunned and shook his head: "The year is too low, let's forget it."
As they spoke, the soul guides in Zimu and Keke's hands flashed at the same time, ending Jin Hu's life.
"Junior, did you...did you use any soul guide just now?" Zi Mu asked hesitantly.
