Chapter 30 Goodbye Furukawa
Beyond the forest lies more forest. The climate on the back side of the Monster Mountain Range is even more complex; once you cross the ridge, it's like moving from a temperate zone to a tropical zone, transforming from relatively clean forests into rainforests. Snakes, insects, and rodents begin to appear more frequently, and venomous monsters also increase in number.
With a whoosh, Huo Yuhao pulled his long sword from the head of a giant lizard. The lizard's body was covered in charred burn marks and purplish-black claw marks. Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, standing beside the lizard, were panting heavily.
"Ha, even fourth-tier magical beasts are no match for us now!" Xiao Yan caught his breath, grinned, and looked excited.
"I don't think it has much to do with you. It was all thanks to Brother Yuhao that we were able to kill this 'Mysterious Water Demon Lizard'."
Xiao Yan was somewhat unconvinced: "No, if my Whirlwind Fire Fist hadn't shattered the scales on its head, how could Yu Hao have succeeded so easily?"
"We still need to rely on Brother Yuhao's magical artifact."
"And what about you? Without gauntlets, your Venomous Claws are only good for tickling the Xuan Shui Demon Lizard."
After breaking through to the Dou Shi level, Little Fairy Doctor secretly checked Huo Yuhao several times, but the Seven-Colored Hidden Lines remained basically unchanged. The Calamity Poison Qi within her body also remained completely under her control. Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor has become increasingly lively during this time.
Huo Yuhao peeled off the unbroken scales one by one, and extracted the demonic core from the monster's body. Then he turned back to persuade the two.
"Xiao Yan's fire and Xian'er's poison have both caused it great damage." During this time, at Xiao Yi Xian's strong request, Huo Yuhao finally started calling her by her nickname, which is one of the reasons why Xiao Yi Xian has been happy lately.
"Let's go." Huo Yuhao waved his hand. Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan noticed that although there was no fluctuation of ice attribute energy, the flames on the surrounding trees had been extinguished silently, and the shattered ice shards had also melted quietly.
Yao Chen, who had been closely observing them from the very beginning of the battle, noticed this and wondered, "Can the Unity of Heaven and Man realm achieve this?"
……
"Huh?" Little Fairy Doctor used her Qi control technique to suck a Gu worm from a leaf. "Strange, I think I've seen this thing before."
Looking at the things they kept finding along the way, Huo Yuhao finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, we've seen quite a few of these Gu worms along the way. This shouldn't be what you're thinking, right?"
Yao Chen appeared, staring intently at the Gu worm, his voice hesitant: "At first, I thought it was that guy in the cave, that 'Gu demon,' a trick set up by it to escape the pursuit of the Ice Phoenix Clan, but now it seems that's not the case. This Gu worm hasn't been here long."
"A Gu demon?" the three asked in confusion.
"A rather special kind of magical beast, whose race inhabits the Demon Saint Valley in the Central Continent."
"Demon Saint Valley? Is it a gathering place for magical beasts? It's named after a saint, could it be that there are Dou Sheng powerhouses inside?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"There are no Battle Saints, not even a single magical beast." Yao Chen smiled.
"what?"
"Hehe." Yao Chen revealed a hint of reminiscence. "That was once the ancestral land of the demon race. The demon race is a force formed by a group of intelligent magical beasts, and the Gu demon clan is one of the main branches of the demon race. The demon race used to have a good relationship with our Yao clan."
"How could that be?"
Before Xiao Yan could finish his question, Yao Chen continued, "Unfortunately, after a great battle, the demon race left."
"So the demon race migrated to other places?" Little Fairy Doctor asked.
Yao Chen shook his head and stared at Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan for a long time, making the two of them feel a little uneasy.
"They've gone to other worlds."
"Other worlds!" The two were shocked. Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and asked urgently, "Teacher, do you know a way to travel to other worlds?"
"Sigh!" Yao Chen sighed deeply, his voice low and somber. "If only I had known."
Seeing the two looking dejected, Yao Chen gave them a pep talk: "I've told you before that once you reach the Dou Zong level, you can use the power of space. And once you break through to the Dou Sheng level, your mastery of the power of space will be extremely proficient, enough to create small worlds, traverse the void, and even travel to other worlds. If you two want to return to your previous world, then strive to become Dou Sheng."
Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan remained silent, while Little Fairy Doctor sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
"Hey! Have we gone a bit off-topic? We can talk about that later. The problem now is, what's going on with these Gu worms!"
Huo Yuhao, Xiao Yan, Yao Chen: "..."
"Ahem." Yao Chen coughed twice, bringing the topic back on track: "There must be someone skilled in using Gu worms and poisonous insects active in the Monster Mountain Range. Judging from the state of these Gu worms, the person who cultivates them shouldn't be too far away from us. We need to be careful and stay hidden."
"Yes, teacher (master)."
……
For the rest of the journey, the group became more cautious. Huo Yuhao began to fully activate his mental detection, constantly watching for any movement.
Boom! Suddenly, a violent burst of Dou Qi energy erupted, exploding not too far away. A wave of energy pressure swept over, causing Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor's legs to buckle and nearly collapse to the ground.
"There are powerful figures fighting there, probably at the Dou Huang level." After briefly assessing the energy intensity, Yao Chen said to the three in a deep voice. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Poison-attribute Dou Qi, it seems that the Dou Huang who cultivated the Gu worms is this one. At this level, they can't even use the Gu worms to sense their surroundings."
Sensing the energy intensity of this Dou Huang, Huo Yuhao made a judgment: it was much weaker than his teacher's current strength, probably equivalent to a Limit Douluo?
He quickly erected a mental barrier to help Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, who were trembling, withstand the pressure.
Xiao Yan swallowed hard and murmured, "Is this what a true powerhouse is?"
"This is nothing, just a Dou Huang. Didn't you just decide to aim for Dou Sheng?" Yao Chen laughed. "How about it? Want to go check it out?"
"It's best to avoid him..." Huo Yuhao didn't want to get involved in this mess.
At this moment, a slightly weaker surge of battle qi energy erupted, clashing with the previous Dou Huang's oppressive aura. Sensing this second fluctuation of battle qi, Huo Yuhao frowned and swallowed the words he was about to use to persuade everyone to leave.
"Your brother Guhe happens to be over there too. Looks like things aren't looking good!" Yao Chen shook his head, his tone mocking. "The mighty Pill King Guhe is probably going to die in this godforsaken place. What a tragic end!"
"Master, Yuhao, Little Fairy Doctor, let's go help Brother Guhe!" Xiao Yan immediately asked for their opinions, his expression serious.
Little Fairy Doctor did not express her opinion, but just looked at Huo Yuhao, waiting for his decision.
After only a moment's hesitation, Huo Yuhao made up his mind.
"Teacher, if there is any danger later, please take Xian'er and Xiao Yan and leave first."
Upon hearing this, Yao Chen's smile brightened considerably: "Don't worry, even if there are Dou Zong present, your master can protect you all and also get that kid Gu He out of there."
