DD2 - Chapter 3: Brother Tianmeng, I Want to Improve
After a while, Huo Yuhao saw a wooden sign with a line of words written on it, indicating that he was still fifty miles away from entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
Fifty miles is not far for Huo Yuhao.
After all, the people in the Douluo Continent have relatively strong physical fitness. In the original novel, Huo Yuhao was just a tenth-level soul master at the beginning, and he was only eleven years old, but he could travel three hundred miles a day on foot.
As we all know, one li is equal to 500 meters, and one kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters.
In other words, a level 10 soul master like Huo Yuhao can walk 150 kilometers a day.
"Although in the original novel, the Wind Baboon almost succeeded in killing the god, I am different from the original Huo Yuhao. I am mentally prepared for the arrival of the Wind Baboon, and I also know the usefulness of the White Tiger Dagger.
Therefore, the Wind Baboon can never be my opponent."
He stepped confidently into the Star Dou Great Forest. The so-called White Tiger Dagger was a relic left by Huo Yun'er for Huo Yuhao. Although this dagger looked ordinary, it was a level-five melee soul guidance device.
Moreover, the White Tiger Dagger comes with a soul skill called Devouring. As long as the opponent's attack strength does not exceed the White Tiger Dagger's tolerance range, the dagger can devour the attack and transform it into its own attacking power for use in the next strike.
Therefore, in the original novel, Huo Yuhao was able to rely on the White Tiger Dagger to turn the tide of the battle and kill the Wind Baboon.
Of course, at that time, Huo Yuhao was still young and did not know the wonderful uses of the White Tiger Dagger. Instead, he accidentally used the soul skill that came with it.
It was not until Chapter 287 of the original novel that it was mentioned that Huo Yuhao had discovered the true effect of the White Tiger Dagger.
"This is the advantage of foresight."
He walked in the Star Forest for a while. After a bit, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Although he didn't even have a soul ring now, his soul eyes had a very strong early warning effect.
A figure flashed by, and Huo Yuhao looked closely and saw a baboon about one meter tall. The baboon looked extremely ferocious; if nothing unexpected happened, it should be a Wind Baboon.
The Wind Baboon stared at Huo Yuhao with a bloodthirsty light in its eyes. It let out an angry roar and then pounced over immediately. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao was prepared and retreated before the Wind Baboon arrived, causing the baboon's attack to be missed.
The Wind Baboon continued to attack, but Huo Yuhao kept running away, trying to irritate the creature as much as possible. Sure enough, after a while, the Wind Baboon was truly aggravated. It couldn't wait to spit out a ball of white light, and then the breath of the entire baboon grew a little weaker.
A look of joy appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. He swung the White Tiger Dagger toward the white light ball rushing toward him. The next moment, the white light ball disappeared as soon as it made contact with the White Tiger Dagger.
Then he swung the White Tiger Dagger again, and a ball of white light suddenly flew out from the dagger, hitting the Wind Baboon directly. The Wind Baboon died instantly before it could even let out a howl.
With a "bang," the Wind Baboon fell directly to the ground, and a white soul ring gradually emerged from its body.
"As expected, it's called the White Tiger Dagger."
Joy spread across Huo Yuhao's face, and then he began to wait patiently for the arrival of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. He had no intention of absorbing the Wind Baboon's soul ring at all.
After all, the Wind Baboon's soul ring was just white, which was worthless and couldn't be compared with the soul ring given by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Soon, a surprised voice sounded.
"Finally, I met a human with spiritual attributes. It's a pity that I can't cry; otherwise, I would be in tears!"
As the voice sounded, cracks began to appear on the ground, and the temperature of the air dropped instantly. After a moment, a silkworm with a white jade body, more than seven meters long and surrounded by ten gorgeous golden patterns, emerged from the cracks in the ground.
There is no doubt that this is the million-year-old soul beast, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Then the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm moved its body and looked at Huo Yuhao. It had just escaped from a group of ferocious beasts, so it naturally did not want to go back to that place. Although the human in front of it looked a bit weak, it had no choice but to choose him.
After all, there are pursuers behind him!
If he doesn't make a choice now, he will be caught!
Thinking of those greedy beasts, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt like crying but had no tears.
"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao pretended to be extremely vigilant.
"Brother, let me introduce myself. I am the only million-year soul beast on the Douluo Continent, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. I am the embodiment of justice, beauty, and wisdom, and I am worshipped by thousands of soul-beasts. Since you are younger than me, you can call me Brother Tianmeng!" the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said proudly.
"A million-year soul beast? So powerful? You're not kidding me, right? How could there be a million-year soul beast in this world?" Huo Yuhao widened his eyes.
"Why would I lie to you? I am a reputable soul beast, and I never lie to humans. If you don't believe me, go ask those fierce beasts."
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was a little annoyed; halfway through his words, he felt something was wrong. Then his eyes fell on Huo Yuhao. "Forget it. To make a long story short, I want to be your wisdom soul ring. This is also a good thing for you. I will explain some things to you later. Don't worry; I won't hurt you!"
"Wait, what are you going to do?" Huo Yuhao took a few steps back, panic visible on his face, but in his heart, he was looking forward to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm becoming his wisdom soul ring as soon as possible. After all, that would be of great benefit to him.
However, what if the memories of the past life were seen?
He suddenly realized this serious problem. Although after the other party became his wisdom soul ring, they would all prosper and suffer together, he instinctively did not want the memories of his past life to be seen by others.
So he subconsciously operated his sea of consciousness. As an extremely bright golden light floated, his mind suddenly became enlightened. He felt that as long as he controlled this golden light, he could seal his memory.
So he subconsciously manipulated the golden light, and immediately felt that his memory was sealed. No one could check it unless he was willing.
"Strange. Huo Yuhao in the original novel didn't seem to have such an ability at the beginning. Could it be that because I am a time traveler and have lived two lives, my mental power has undergone some changes? Could this golden light be the result of that change? This doesn't make sense. Is there another hidden story behind my time travel?"
He was a little puzzled, but he had no time to think about it at the moment. After all, the most urgent task was to make the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm become his wisdom soul ring as soon as possible, so his eyes fell on the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm again.
'Come on, Brother Tianmeng, I want to make progress!'
"Hehehe, I'm coming in. Don't worry; it won't hurt too much." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm turned into a ray of light and rushed toward Huo Yuhao. The terrifying mental power also dissipated with the movement of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
At this time, a thunderclap sounded, followed by a gray airflow rushing toward Huo Yuhao. An old male voice emerged, "I hold the sun and the moon in my hands and pick the stars. There is no one like me in the world."
"Who dares to snatch people from me?" the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became anxious and immediately increased the speed of merging with Huo Yuhao. Soon, it appeared in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.
And a Huo Yuhao constructed by mental power also appeared in the sea of spiritual power.
"Strange, why can't I check your memory? This shouldn't be right." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was a little confused.
