Chapter 724 I Need the Heartbreaking Red of Longing!
"You guys have it so easy playing with ice, it's like having portable mini-fridges." A thin layer of scales immediately appeared on Qiu'er's exposed skin, protecting her from the effects of the low temperature.
"Let's hurry up, I didn't use much power." Huo Yuhao took the lead and strode into the forest.
"So eager? Hey Huo Yuhao, what kind of immortal herb are you looking for?" Qiu'er leaped up in a few steps and caught up with Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then said, "I need to find the Acacia Heartbreak Red; I need this immortal herb to save people!"
"Save people?" Qiu'er gently stroked her chin.
"Dong'er, my Dong'er, needs this Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red!" Huo Yuhao did not hide anything. They were all members of the Tang Clan and would surely become high-ranking members of the Tang Clan in the future.
"Wang Dong'er is sick? Wasn't she lively and energetic just a moment ago? She even had time to fight me for steamed buns." Qiu'er recalled slightly.
Qiu'er's attention was no longer on Huo Yuhao, but instead on Wang Dong'er. The two women had similar faces and often sparred, so they naturally became familiar with each other and had a fairly good relationship.
"Dong'er once suffered a very serious injury. At that time, the injury could not be cured and could only be sealed. However, this seal has a time limit and will lose its effect when Dong'er turns twenty. Only the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red can cure Dong'er, so I must find this flower for Dong'er as soon as possible!" Huo Yuhao's eyes were firm. He was determined to find this flower.
"Wang Dong'er has a hidden injury? Does she need the Love-Severing Heart Red?" Qiu'er felt that something was wrong with this matter, but she didn't want to ask Huo Yuhao, so she secretly transmitted her voice to the demon spirit.
"Demon, do you know about the 'Heartbreak Red' flower?"
The spirit thought for a moment and replied, "I heard about this flower from the strategist when I was traveling the continent with him. Only two people who truly love each other can pluck this divine flower for one another!"
"Furthermore, if it weren't for the extremely demanding conditions for obtaining this flower, the title of the King of Immortal Herbs should belong to it."
"The King of Immortal Herbs? It's actually a king?" Qiu'er frowned slightly.
Since he is a king, should he do something?
It is very difficult for a soul beast to give birth to a king.
"Demon spirit, can any lovers pluck the Acacia Heartbreak Red?" Qiu'er's eyes sparkled.
"According to the strategist's answer at the time, yes, but to show this flower one's heart's blood, one must spit a mouthful of heart's blood onto it," the demon spirit said.
"A king, one in ten thousand, yet he willingly let himself be taken away in such a way." Qiu'er seemed somewhat puzzled. Di Tian had told her that soul beast kings were born with pride.
The demon spirit paused for a moment, then said, "The strategist said that being plucked by lovers is the best ending for the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red. This flower was born to praise love. We should not make a move. Although Soul Beast Kings are rare, their kingly will cannot be changed."
Qiu'er nodded and followed Huo Yuhao. Her purpose in coming here was simply to find some suitable immortal herbs; she had no interest in that divine flower.
With the ice of extreme cold clearing the way, the two entered the inner circle of Sunset Forest in just one hour.
Compared to the outer circle, the inner circle is filled with poisonous gas and colorful soul beast corpses.
"Be careful, those seven-colored bones are a sign of intense pain!" Huo Yuhao took out a gas mask, put it on, and covered his body with a layer of frost armor. He then handed one to Qiu'er.
Qiu'er put on her gas mask and asked, "With such a large amount of poisonous gas, it seems we're not far from our destination."
Huo Yuhao nodded, crossed his hands and tapped his frost armor, took a deep breath, and continued to activate his mental detection, stepping over the soul beast corpse that shimmered with seven-colored light.
Stepping over that seven-colored bone was like triggering an alarm in the Sunset Forest.
The moment Huo Yuhao landed, countless vines shot out from the surrounding giant trees, like green pythons, heading straight for Huo Yuhao's face.
"It's actually the Nail-Headed Vine!" Huo Yuhao's expression darkened. He had already sensed the attack through his mental detection. He slightly turned his body and jumped back to dodge the seven nail-headed vines.
"Whoosh"
A golden light flew over and whipped away all seven nail-headed vines.
The Golden Dragon Spear flew back into Qiu'er's hand. She circled around the bone and twirled the spear.
"Let's go, I'll lead the way, you take charge of reconnaissance."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and handed two trigger-type soul-guided shields to Qiu'er.
"I have a lot of these." Qiu'er shook the storage ring on her left hand.
Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered that Qiu'er was brought back by Ye Nanxiao, so how could he have given her less resources and weapons?
"Let's keep going. There's a predatory plant hiding behind a bush about 20 meters to our right."
Upon hearing this, Qiu'er took about ten steps to the right front and, just as the predatory grass suddenly sprang up, smashed a shot into its head.
The predatory herb immediately wilted and collapsed limply to the ground.
But the Nailhead Vine and the Predatory Grass were just the beginning.
The two would be attacked every ten steps or so, but Huo Yuhao's mental detection would detect them all.
Watching Qiu'er clear the way with ease, as if playing whack-a-mole, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly.
The deeper they went into the inner circle, the higher the cultivation level of the plant spirit beasts they encountered, but Qiu'er knocked them all unconscious with a single shot.
"Is Qiu'er really that terrifying? Luckily, I haven't provoked her before." Huo Yuhao smiled wryly, realizing that he was the most relaxed one.
"This little girl has incredible strength. She hasn't even shown her spirit rings yet. Could she be some ferocious beast disguised as a human?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm found it absurd. To knock out a plant spirit beast with a single blow—how powerful must her physical strength be?
"Those plants are all tens of thousands of years old. Even if their skin is thin, they shouldn't be so resistant to attacks. The problem should be with that golden spear, Tianmeng." Through Huo Yuhao's visual sharing, Bingdi's gaze was fixed on the golden dragon spear in Qiu'er's hand. That spear made her eyes feel a little stinging.
"That gun? I've never seen it before." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stared at the Golden Dragon Spear for a while, confirming that she had no recollection of it.
"Qiu'er's martial soul is the Golden Dragon, and that spear is the accompanying weapon that gave birth to her martial soul," Huo Yuhao explained.
Some special martial souls can bring a companion weapon at the beginning of their awakening. This is rare, but not impossible.
The world is vast and boundless, and the history of martial spirits continues to be recorded and statistically analyzed to this day.
"The Dragon Clan's Martial Soul! No wonder her physical strength is so formidable. She already possesses such power even before unleashing her Dragon Transformation. Yuhao, I'm afraid even your bear claws wouldn't be able to harm this little girl," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm remarked with some emotion.
Dragons are a race that is blessed from birth; they are inherently powerful.
"Stop standing there, hurry up and catch up. I don't want to spend the night in this miasma before dark!" Qiu'er deflected dozens of flying spikes with her spear, then slapped out with her palm. The brute force compressed the air, creating a shockwave.
Huo Yuhao watched as the poisonous thorny grass was knocked away, and quickly nodded to follow. He didn't want to spend the night in the miasma either.
As sunset approached, the surrounding poisonous miasma grew increasingly dense.
Huo Yuhao slung his flying soul tool over his shoulder and soared into the sky. He roughly assessed the concentration of the poisonous miasma around him and determined the direction he was heading. Then, he returned to the ground and said, "Qiu'er, I need to clear a path directly, but this path might not last long. We need to get through quickly!"
"Quickly? How quickly?" Qiu'er suddenly asked.
The latest novel is first published here!
Huo Yuhao, who was preparing to unleash a powerful attack, suddenly paused. How should he answer this question?
"Hey, don't talk like Ni Jiang in the future. Only 10% of what he says makes sense." Huo Yuhao's body glowed with a rich green light, and his jade-like bones were emitting a faint light.
"The Realm of Eternal Freeze!"
The surrounding temperature plummeted, and layers of frost spread out instantly, coating the surrounding plants with a layer of solid ice.
The poisonous miasma drifting in the air instantly turned into large chunks of solid ice, which crashed to the ground.
Centered on Huo Yuhao, the air within dozens of miles around him suddenly became incredibly fresh, with a cold wind howling.
"Now!" Huo Yuhao shouted. He used the power of the Eternal Frozen Domain to create a path large enough for the two of them to pass side by side, and the plants along the way shrank into a ball.
Qiu'er instantly appeared behind Huo Yuhao, grabbed the flying soul tool on his back with one hand, bent her legs slightly, and let out a dragon's roar, shooting out like a cannonball.
Before Huo Yuhao could even mention that he had a flying soul tool to travel, Qiu'er grabbed him and rushed off like a chicken.
"I'm gurgling."
As soon as Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, a strong gust of wind rushed in, drowning out his words.
At this moment, he deeply realized just how outrageous the physical attributes of a Soul Master with a top-tier Beast Martial Soul could be.
Each time Qiu'er landed and leaped up again, it was like detonating a bomb, creating a deep crater. With the help of the powerful rebound, she took Huo Yuhao to the place with the densest miasma in just a few breaths.
"Sweeping through the enemy ranks."
Qiu'er put Huo Yuhao down and brandished the Golden Dragon Spear.
The powerful spear dance swept up a large amount of air, carrying away the poisonous miasma floating in the air. She actually used the Golden Dragon Spear to stir up a small tornado.
Huo Yuhao stuck out his dry tongue, gaining a new understanding of Qiu'er's power once again.
"Don't stand there, the poisonous miasma is strongest here, we shouldn't be far from our destination." Qiu'er wielded the Golden Dragon Spear with impressive skill, and while speaking, she telepathically asked the demon spirit, "Demon spirit, how far is it from here to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"
"According to what the strategist said, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is located where the poisonous clouds rise, and it should be right in front of us," the demon spirit replied.
Huo Yuhao slightly adjusted his soul power, glanced around, flipped his left hand, pulled out a grenade, and threw it forcefully into the clouds ahead.
Small explosions occurred within the thick toxic fog, and brief flashes of light engulfed much of the poisonous cloud before being quickly replenished by the surrounding toxic clouds.
Huo Yuhao observed the movement of the poisonous fog, continuously throwing grenades.
"Legend has it that the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is located in the valley, so the poisonous fog should rise with the air currents and be to the right front! Let's go to the downward entrance first!" Huo Yuhao said, and without hesitation, he once again summoned the power of the Eternal Frozen Domain.
The large amount of toxic fog was cleared, exposing more of the field of vision.
In an instant, Qiu'er spotted a cliff exposed in the poisonous clouds. Without hesitation, she grabbed Huo Yuhao again, quickly moved forward, and jumped down.
After a few seconds of intense weightlessness, Qiu'er forcefully thrust the Golden Dragon Spear into the plant-covered mountain wall.
The demon spirit hiding in Qiu'er's shadow quietly made its move, blocking the attack launched by the plant spirit beast attached to the mountain wall.
When they were less than 300 meters away from a steep slope, Qiu'er drew the Golden Dragon Spear. The scales on her right arm seemed to come alive, flowing with golden soul power that flowed into the Golden Dragon Spear.
Qiu'er threw the Golden Dragon Spear downwards, where it pierced the vegetation on the ground, creating a deep crater.
