Huo Yuhao shook his head: “No.”
Zi Mu couldn't help swallowing.
Only then did he realize how strong Huo Yuhao's physical fitness was. No wonder he had been unable to fight back against him before.
The appearance of the Golden Tiger added an episode to the exploration mission. After seeing Huo Yuhao's strength, the three seniors kept asking him questions as they moved towards the target mountain.
Zi Mu asked, "Junior, are you...are you so confident in your physical fitness? How dare you fight a thousand-year soul beast with your bare hands?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "My physical fitness is at level 60 in the entrance physical test, which is more than enough to deal with ten thousand year soul beasts, and..."
"I once learned how to deal with tiger-type soul beasts from a senior named Wu."
After fighting side by side, Zi Mu and Huo Yuhao became closer. He sincerely praised: "I have never seen a three-ring with such strong physical fitness as you. Even my strength is not as good as that of the golden tiger."
Huo Yuhao looked at Zi Mu strangely: "Senior, you are a five-ring soul king. Your strength should be enough to subdue a ten-thousand-year soul beast. How can you be inferior to a thousand-year soul beast?"
Zi Mu was speechless for a moment: "This..."
Ke Ke said, "Don't think that he has reached the fifth ring, but that is all accumulated by taking medicine. His physical fitness has not kept up. With his condition, he still chooses close combat soul guide as a means of attack."
Zi Mu said unhappily, "Don't you also rely on taking medicine?"
Ju Zi asked curiously, "Brother Yuhao, have you never taken any medicine?"
Huo Yuhao said truthfully: "I did take some at the beginning, but later on, I still felt that it was better to practice with my feet on the ground."
He pondered silently in his heart.
Almost all of these Sun and Moon soul masters chose to take drugs to quickly increase their soul power levels.
He originally scoffed at this, but after talking with Xuan Ziwen, he became more open-minded.
The cultivation talent of the Sun and Moon people is not as good as that of Douluo Three Kingdoms, so they can only adopt this method of forcing growth. Although the upper limit will be lowered in the later stage, the lower limit can be quickly raised in the early and middle stages. The emptiness of soul power can be compensated by soul guides, which is also an excellent strategy.
Juzi sighed: "It's not just that the purple wood is not strong enough, the golden tiger itself is a soul beast known for its strength."
"Moreover, in this Jingyang Mountain Range, the strength of all gold-attributed soul beasts can be increased by several times. Although there are no powerful soul beasts in this branch, we cannot let our guard down."
"Just keep going."
As he spoke, Orange took the detector in his hand again and carefully observed the light on it.
Chapter 224 Weird
The four of them continued traveling in the branch range for another two days, slowly moving towards their target mountain.
Their purpose was not to rush, but to search for metal deposits, so they deliberately slowed down their pace, allowing Orange to check the metal detector from time to time and then choose the specific direction of advance based on experience.
At dusk, the four set up camp and prepared to rest.
The camp was located halfway up the mountain, and there were many dark cave entrances not far away.
Orange did not choose to camp at the entrance of those caves, but chose an open space. Although caves are natural shelters, they are more likely to encounter accidents.
Huo Yuhao took on the task of cooking dinner. Orange sat beside him, staring at his casual yet graceful movements in a trance.
"It's baked."
He shared the barbecue among the three people, and after thanking him, they began to eat with relish.
"Tianzi-senpai, can you give me some oranges?"
"Junior Yuhao, do you like my oranges?" Orange was stunned for a moment, then said playfully, "Even Keke dislikes the sour taste of my oranges."
"Sour, just the right amount to relieve the greasiness."
Orange smiled gently and said softly, "Come out, my little orange."
"Brother Yuhao, here you go."
"Thank you." Huo Yuhao took it with a smile.
Although it's a bit sour, it still tastes pretty good.
Ke Ke glanced at the two of them, then complained to herself, "I'm so tired. I've been searching for another day, but still found nothing. Zi Mu, didn't you say this is a rich mining area? How come there is nothing but crude iron and no rare metals at all?"
Zi Mu spread his hands helplessly: "There won't be rare metals everywhere in rich mining areas. If that's the case, do we still need to look for them?"
Ke Ke complained unhappily: "It's always like this. I really don't want to leave. When will Teacher Xuan's all-terrain detection soul guide be ready? That way we won't have to travel so hard."
Juzi smiled and said, "Teacher Xuan said that there is still one year left. During this year, I will have to make things difficult for you, Keke."
Huo Yuhao listened to their conversation and interrupted to ask, “Senior sister, don’t you think it’s too time-consuming and laborious to search step by step on the ground like this?”
Ke Ke said unhappily, "If we don't look for it this way, will the rare metals just fall from the sky?"
Huo Yuhao was somewhat speechless and said: “Rare metals will not fall from the sky, but you can look for them in the sky. Don’t you think that searching in the air is much more efficient than searching on the ground?”
Ju Zi shook her head and said, "Brother Yuhao, flying in an area where soul beasts gather is taboo. There are many flying soul beasts in the mountains, and it is easy to become a target."
"Oh."
Huo Yuhao responded casually.
He felt that the people of the Sun-Moon Empire were also narrowing the path in their research on flying soul guides.
They only thought about how to use soul power to bring people to the sky, but never considered that they could send humans to the sky by relying on the power of the air flow itself.
Of course, Huo Yuhao did not expect them to be able to build an airplane. After all, even he, a time traveler, did not know the principles of airplane construction. Building a mechanical system from scratch would probably not be accomplished in dozens or hundreds of years.
But at least he knew how hot air balloons and airships worked.
Just imagine, if there is such a huge airship, equipped with powerful ninth-level long-range soul guides and defensive soul guides, and a group of soul guides on board, wouldn’t it be a real mobile air fortress?
kir!
The sky gradually darkened and the four of them finished their dinner.
"It's my turn to keep watch tonight. Seniors, you guys can take a rest." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work." Orange smiled gently, and walked into a tent with Keke.
"If you feel sleepy in the second half of the night, you can ask me to take over." Zimu said and walked into another tent.
Huo Yuhao sat on the ground, looked up at the starry sky, and released spiritual detection.
He is a spiritual person and is in good spirits, so he doesn't need much sleep.
Their camp was set up in an open space halfway up the mountain. The mountain breeze blowing gently on their faces was extremely comfortable.
Soon, the three people in the tent fell asleep.
Huo Yuhao looked at Tian Meng and Bing Di who suddenly appeared beside him, with a speechless face.
"Why did you come out..."
Tian Meng stretched comfortably: "It's so hard to get out of here without any outsiders, so of course I have to come out and get some fresh air."
The Ice Emperor said coldly: "I was just dragged out by force."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
If you don't want to come out, how can Tianmeng pull you...
As soon as Tianmeng came out, he couldn't wait to say: "Yuhao, game console, game console..."
Huo Yuhao was just about to tell the silkworm and the scorpion something when he suddenly frowned and turned his head to look somewhere.
It was a strange soul beast that appeared in the spiritual detection, and its cultivation was about six or seven thousand years old.
It was on the hillside far away, slowly coming towards us.
In fact, Huo Yuhao discovered it a long time ago, but he thought that the other party’s cultivation was not high and might just be passing by, so he didn’t take it seriously.
But now it seems that the other party is heading towards the camp with a clear purpose, and he chose to set off just after Orange and the other two fell asleep. He seems to be an experienced hunter.
"It's a pity that you underestimated Brother Hao."
Huo Yuhao raised his lips and was considering how to deal with the soul beast when he heard Tian Meng excitedly say, "Yuhao, this is a spiritual soul beast, don't let it run away... mmm..."
Before Tian Meng finished speaking, Bingdi quickly covered her mouth and said, "Idiot, you are making such a loud noise, are you trying to wake up those three humans?"
Sure enough, there was a rustling sound coming from the two tents.
"It woke them up."
Bingdi frowned and pulled Tianmeng back to the sea of consciousness.
Orange and the other two walked out of the tent.
Huo Yuhao felt helpless, but he still smiled at the three of them and said, “Senior Orange, why are you awake?”
Orange held a metal detector in his hand and pointed in a direction with his other hand, and said excitedly: "I have a feeling that there must be deposits of rare metals in that direction."
“Ah?” Huo Yuhao’s smile froze. “Senior Orange, why are you suddenly thinking about looking for mineral deposits so late at night?”
"You guys are tired from walking today, why don't we have a good rest tonight and look for it tomorrow."
Ke Ke said firmly: "No, if it's too late, there might be no chance."
Huo Yuhao found it a little funny.
Can rare metals grow legs and run away? Will they disappear overnight?
Zi Mu also persuaded: "Junior brother, just come with us."
Huo Yuhao put away his smile and swept his eyes across the faces of the three people.
The three of them all had smiles on their faces, but there was a hint of dullness in their eyes.
Surprising.
It's really weird.
Whether it was the expressions or behaviors of the three people, they all revealed an unspeakable weirdness.
The three men were still sleeping a minute ago, but now, they all woke up at the same time and went looking for metal deposits.
Huo Yuhao looked at the metal detector in Orange's hand. It was still emitting a faint gray light and did not look like it had found a mineral deposit.
He suddenly chuckled and nodded, "Seniors, let's go take a look."
Orange said excitedly: "Then let's go quickly."
As she spoke, she strode forward in the direction of her finger.
