Huo Yuhao said excitedly: "So that's how it is. This cave is the biggest trap. That creature is incapable of hunting other soul beasts, so it tricked them all here. It found a safe place for itself to stay, and when the prey has exhausted its soul power, it can sit back and enjoy the spoils."
"Hyodei, I can now confirm that this is the kind of metal I imagined. This is the radioactivity of that metal."
Bingdi asked: "This energy is actually emitted by metal?"
"En." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Zimu and Juzi were unaware of the energy fluctuations. They each took out a shovel-shaped soul guide and a cone-shaped soul guide and began digging.
After digging for a while, Ju Zi looked at Huo Yuhao mischievously and said, "Sorry, I forgot that you don't have any tools."
"But don't worry, we only need to bring back some samples to complete the task. It will be quick."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "It's okay, seniors, I'll wait for you outside first. You better move quickly."
"Go."
Juzi said this casually, and then he and Zimu continued their digging work.
As she dug, she muttered, "Strange, what kind of metal is this? Why is it so hard to dig?"
Zi Mu smiled and said, "Maybe you are tired? After all, you have been traveling all day."
"During the day?" Orange was suddenly stunned, looking up and asked blankly, "I remember we have already set up the tent, right? Why are we exploring for mineral deposits again?"
……
Huo Yuhao did not walk towards the cave entrance, but released the simulation and came to a place not far from the hypnotic tapir in stealth. While preventing it from attacking Orange and the other person, he considered how to deal with it.
Generally speaking, the innate skills of a soul beast are likely to become the soul skills of the corresponding soul ring. He really wants to use the mental suggestion of the hypnotic tapir as the fourth soul skill of his Demon Eye martial soul.
But his current soul power is only level 38, and he is still unable to obtain the fourth soul ring. What should he do?
Tian Meng said, "What else can we do? We can only wait a few months before coming back. Anyway, that guy's lair is right here, and he can't escape."
Huo Yuhao said calmly: “This is the only way. I will leave quickly with my senior sister. It shouldn’t have a chance to attack.”
Tian Mengyi said: "Alas, it's a pity that this spiritual attribute soul beast is too young, not even ten thousand years old, how can it be worthy of our Yu Hao."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat speechless and said: "Originally, the best soul ring ratio is the fourth ring of a thousand years. This is not too bad."
"There have always been different opinions on which is more important, the effect of the soul skill or the age of the soul skill, but now I have thought about it."
"My Demon Eye Martial Soul should focus on functionality, and my Soul Skills should focus more on effects. My Ice Martial Soul should focus on power, and my Soul Skills should focus more on age."
Huo Yuhao used the Ice Emperor's Claw in his right hand to break off a palm-sized piece of ore from the wall of the cave.
Looking at the ore emitting emerald green light, an excited grin appeared on his face.
But soon, the excitement faded, Huo Yuhao regained his composure, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the metal was no longer so fiery, but calm.
Bingdi asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Didn't you say that this is the metal that can bring destruction that you are looking for?"
“It may be, or it may not be. But even if it is, it doesn’t seem to make any sense.” Huo Yuhao said calmly, “Maybe this is a mysterious metal called uranium from my previous world. The energy contained in this metal is very powerful. It can be used to make the most destructive weapon in the world.”
"How powerful?"
"Only a few dozen kilograms are needed to destroy a city in an instant. There is no soul power fluctuation, it is pure material power."
Can such great power be generated without soul power?
Tianmeng and Bingdi were both stunned.
They couldn't understand how this could be achieved without relying on soul power.
Tian Meng said anxiously: "Then... there are so many of these metals here, isn't it very dangerous..."
“What are you thinking about…” Huo Yuhao sighed and tossed the ore in his hand. “With just this piece of ore, I can only extract a few milligrams at most.”
He raised his head slightly and said calmly, "It's not just about the raw materials, but also the theory. To make such a weapon, it would take thousands or tens of thousands of people to participate in the research and it would take decades."
"And Douluo Continent hasn't even established a relevant knowledge system yet. It may take hundreds of years to build it from scratch."
"I'm afraid this weapon will never be available on the mainland."
Huo Yuhao had a cold expression, and a hint of melancholy flashed in his ice-blue eyes.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the hypnotic tapir, who was slowly getting up.
Huo Yuhao frowned impatiently.
We've already planned to let you live a few more months, but you still don't know how to appreciate it?
Chapter 227 I Can’t Wait Any Longer, Let Me Keep My Soul Power First
The hypnotic tapir deep in the cave slowly stood up.
It relies on its talent for hypnosis and this mysterious metal mine. Although its own strength is not strong, it is enough to lure and kill some soul beasts that are more powerful than itself.
Calculating the time, with the strength of those humans, their soul power should be almost exhausted.
There was a hint of greed in the hypnotic tapir's small round eyes.
It slightly released its mental power, sensing the breath of those humans.
Their soul power is stronger than mine, but so what? In this unique mine, their soul power will be lost quickly.
Even though his physical strength was not as good as these humans, the effect of hypnosis would be greatly enhanced when their soul power was exhausted.
At that time, it would not be a simple lure, but letting them kill each other, and it would not need to do it itself.
The hypnotic tapir once again released its mental power to test.
Since its physical body is not strong, its mental strength is its weapon for self-protection.
There should be three humans in the cave at the moment, two of whom are digging for ore, while the other is standing aside.
The hypnotic tapir's fat body suddenly shook, and a hint of surprise appeared in its two small eyes.
Not only Huo Yuhao felt the mental fluctuations from it, it also vaguely felt the mental fluctuations from the other party.
This human being actually also has spiritual attributes.
It would be of great benefit to it if it could devour this human boy.
A hint of human mockery once again appeared in the hypnotic tapir's little eyes.
[My seniors are usually very xenophobic to me, but today I can no longer tolerate it. I am going to have a big fight with them.]
A strange thought suddenly appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind.
He was slightly stunned, and instantly realized that this must be another mental suggestion from the hypnotic tapir, and he couldn't help but frown.
Can it still cause them to quarrel among themselves through such means?
Huo Yuhao muttered something and remained unmoved.
Not far away, Orange used a shovel-shaped soul guide to dig out a piece of ore. He took a breath and asked in confusion, "Strange, what kind of metal is this? I feel so tired just digging it."
She took out a bottle and absorbed the soul power in it to recover herself, while thinking silently.
The green-glowing metal...
Orange recalled the metal atlas he had read, and suddenly said, "I remember now. The academy has some records about this metal. This metal can emit a special energy that consumes the soul power of people nearby. We can't stay here for long."
"Zi Mu, let's get out now that we've finished collecting."
However, Zi Mu's expression was not very good.
Suddenly, Juzi asked with concern: "Zi Mu, what's wrong with you?"
Zi Mu said irritably: "I suddenly feel a little depressed."
A strange desire for destruction emerged in his mind, and Zi Mu really wanted to destroy something at this moment.
Hearing Orange's question, he looked at the other party in a daze.
Zi Mu had an urge to have a big fight with Ju Zi.
He didn't know why such a thought suddenly popped up in his mind. There was no motive and no benefit.
At this moment, this violent impulse was replaced by a different kind of cool feeling. Zi Mu was slightly stunned, and his mind suddenly became clear and clear.
He shook his head: "Nothing, Orange, let's go out and meet up with Ke Ke and the others."
As he said that, he and Orange walked out of the cave.
Huo Yuhao in the dark shrugged helplessly. If he hadn’t been there, perhaps Senior Sister Orange and the others would have really met with an accident.
He turned around and glared at the hypnotic tapir deep in the cave, and planned to leave the cave as well.
However, just with Huo Yuhao's glare, the hypnotic tapir suddenly felt cold all over and was filled with extreme fear.
The hypnotic tapir hurriedly got up and fled towards another cave entrance along another corridor connected to the depths of the cave.
Huo Yuhao was stunned.
Why did this guy suddenly run away?
The hypnotic tapir took clumsy steps, dragging its fat body and fleeing in fear.
It is cunning and vicious by nature, but its weak body also makes it timid.
It never dared to face those powerful soul beasts directly. Only after they had finished killing each other would it dare to come out and reap the benefits.
Today he met a human being with the same spiritual attribute, but his hypnosis had no effect on him. There was only one possibility: the other person's spiritual power was much stronger than his.
Its hypnosis is a very peculiar mental skill. The most different thing about it from other mental skills is that it will not be backfired, but the price is the lack of timely feedback.
It was not until now that the hypnotic tapir realized that his hypnosis had never been effective from the beginning, and that the spiritual human had already discovered him.
It’s over.
Discovered by a strong person with the same spiritual attribute.
You will be killed.
After learning of this result, it immediately fled the cave at full speed, wanting to quickly get away from Huo Yuhao, the plague god.
"I'll let you go for now, and I'll come back to find you when Brother Hao reaches level 40."
Huo Yuhao muttered, and his mental detection suddenly discovered something strange about the hypnotic tapir. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.
After the hypnotic tapir came out of another cave, before it had time to rejoice, its fat body froze in place again.
It saw a golden tiger wandering around outside the cave entrance.
