Chapter 1168 The Talkative Mermaid
"What?"
Huo Yuhao immediately began his mental probe the moment he saw the white figure.
However, no movement of the white shadow could be detected at all.
A loud bang came from beside my ear.
Ice Emperor, already clad in ice armor, lashed out with a leg in mid-air, blocking the white figure that attempted to ambush Huo Yuhao from the side.
"Huh? Your strength?"
The white figure punched Hyotei's leg, which was covered in frost armor.
A look of shock appeared on his face.
This isn't because Hyotei's legs are too beautiful.
"Winter snow and fierce winds!"
A fierce gust of wind, mixed with ice spikes, suddenly surged from Hyotei's palms.
The white figure retreated instantly, then raised its hand and summoned a large amount of water vapor, which condensed into a water curtain.
That seemingly thin layer of water actually blocked the ice spikes fired by Hyotei.
Furthermore, the biting cold wind had no effect on the water curtain and could not freeze it.
The expression beneath Hyotei's mask was unusually serious.
This encounter made her realize that her opponent's strength was beyond what Huo Yuhao could currently handle.
Huo Yuhao also realized the meaning behind Bingdi's earlier shout of "ferocious beast".
A soul beast over 100,000 years old!
This boyish-looking fellow is actually a ferocious beast in human form!
"Boom!"
Black and white bear kings appeared on Huo Yuhao's left and right sides.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm wrapped itself around Huo Yuhao, protecting him in the middle.
The situation is very serious.
"Who are you?" Huo Yuhao quickly changed into his soul-guided armor, holding a jamming missile in his hand.
He definitely couldn't defeat a ferocious beast-level soul beast; he could only run away.
Just as Huo Yuhao was figuring out how to escape, the white figure opposite him suddenly spoke.
"Hey, you're human, right?" the white-clad boy asked.
"Yes, you are a soul beast?" Huo Yuhao asked in return.
The young boy in white nodded and withdrew the water curtain. His gaze swept over Ice Emperor, Black and White Bear King, and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Then he pointed to the spirits.
"These, are they also soul beasts?"
"He is my partner." Huo Yuhao's answer was firm and resolute.
The young boy scratched his head, somewhat at a loss for what to do in the face of the situation.
"I am a soul beast, my name is Fan Hai, and I used to have the title of Douluo, but my clan no longer uses that title. Hmm, you look a bit like an old friend."
The white-clad boy, rummaging through the sea, seemed lost in thought, leaving Huo Yuhao utterly bewildered.
"Should we run?" Huo Yuhao asked in his mental sea.
All four spirits could hear Huo Yuhao's voice.
"Wait a little longer, my mental energy is still building up. Let's see what this guy is up to!" The golden halo on the fat body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm gradually lit up.
"Did you guys notice? This soul beast calls itself a Douluo?" Ice Emperor asked in confusion.
A soul beast, referred to by a human's cultivation level title?
The black and white bear kings stood quietly on either side of Huo Yuhao, like two guardian deities.
The difference is that Xiaobai's eyes only have fighting spirit, while Xiaohei's eyes have a more thoughtful look.
After hearing Bingdi's words, Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled the name of a soul beast race.
"The Mermaid Clan!"
Before he came to find Nautilus, he did a lot of research and preparation, and...
"Click"
The Gate of the Dead quietly appeared and opened, revealing a tall skeleton beside Hyotei.
The remains of Xiaohai Douluo have now been named Number One by Huo Yuhao.
This means that this is the first high-level expert he has ever encountered.
Before leaving, Xiaohai Douluo also mentioned the name of the mermaid race.
This young boy, who calls himself "Sea-Turning Boy," uses water element as his means of attack and defense. In addition, the place where Huo Yuhao is located is the Sea God Temple!
All the clues connected led to the conclusion that the turmoil was caused by the merfolk!
"Mermaids? They arrived so quickly?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked in surprise.
"Did they make a nest in the icy sea or something?"
Hyotei's expression gradually darkened.
If what Tianmeng Bingcan said is true, the Ice Sea might be the nest of the mermaid race, which would mean that there are at least two dozen ferocious beast-level soul beasts.
What can we use to run?
How come I never knew there was such a group of guys in the icy sea when I was in the far north?
Hyotei was caught in a mental vortex.
Huo Yuhao's eyes, however, gleamed.
"Perhaps this mermaid didn't come to start a war, but simply to see what was happening? Do you remember what the Howling Sea Douluo said?"
"The merfolk race is constantly depleting their life force while protecting the sea for the sea god! Furthermore, their relationship with that secret sea realm is far from harmonious!"
"If they really wanted to capture us, perhaps it wouldn't just be one mermaid, or maybe a fight would have already broken out!"
Huo Yuhao shared his analysis and speculation.
At present, it seems that Fan Hai has no intention of capturing Huo Yuhao at all.
Was the attack just a test?
Hyotei glanced at Huo Yuhao's still-open Gate of the Dead.
If you can't beat them, you can always hide.
If he hides for ten or eight years, with the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow he obtained and all the seals within Huo Yuhao's body, he will surely become a Title Douluo by then.
Moreover, the Gate of the Dead also has powerful figures left behind by Elder Yi, enough to allow Huo Yuhao to receive a large amount of resources and become the number one person in the Nine Realms!
We'll come out and fight back then. I don't believe this mermaid is that strong!
After making up his mind, Hyotei discussed the matter with Huo Yuhao in his spiritual sea. Then, the emerald light on the ring finger of his left hand slightly receded, and his body slightly arched as he prepared for battle.
"Hey! You mermaid! What are you spacing out for!" Hyotei shouted.
"Um?"
Fan Hai snapped out of his reverie, looked at Hyotei with a mixture of confusion and dissatisfaction, as if blaming Hyotei for interrupting his thoughts.
"What's your purpose?"
"Me? I just came to see what happened to this dilapidated temple."
The latest novel is first published here!
"That's all?"
"As for you guys, I was just surprised to see humans here, and I was also testing you out."
Fan Hai's words were surprisingly sincere.
But his tone was like someone who had just crushed an insect and then mourned for two seconds before returning to normal.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. If he didn't seem to be no match for Fan Hai, he would definitely have given Fan Hai a lecture on what it meant to be reasonable.
"Now that you've seen the temple and touched it, what else do you want to do?" Hyotei asked.
Upon hearing this, Fan Hai scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Yeah, so what's next?"
"What are you guys going to do next? Take me with you? I'm getting pretty bored being at sea all day."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was stunned, as were the four soul spirits.
What's with this sincere attitude?
So this really isn't an enemy?
"Brother Tianmeng, why does this mermaid seem a bit silly to me?"
"No, I don't think he's stupid; he just sees us as a way to amuse himself!"
Hyotei reluctantly put away the azure light in his left hand; it seemed this fight was off.
That's fine too.
It wouldn't be a good thing if a real fight broke out.
Seeing that Fan Hai had already withdrawn his aura, Huo Yuhao decided to try to establish a relationship first. "Hello, my name is Huo Yuhao. I came here by chance. The ruins behind me should be the purpose of your trip."
"Oh right, we haven't seen the Temple of Poseidon yet." Fan Hai smacked his right palm with his left hand and walked straight ahead.
Huo Yuhao had Number One hide behind the half-open Gate of the Dead, and then partially blurred the Gate of the Dead behind himself.
The Black and White Bear King returned to Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, while the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm transformed into a small silkworm and perched on Huo Yuhao's head, and the Ice Emperor floated directly to the side.
The purpose of rummaging through the ruins of the Poseidon Temple was quite clear: to head straight for the core area.
After witnessing the shattered remains scattered on the ground, the somewhat languid young boy's face began to turn solemn.
When he saw the shattered statue of the sea god, he sighed.
"Did you make this statue?" Fan Hai asked.
"No, when I came here, there was still a group of wandering souls who hadn't returned. I spent some time helping them find their way back..." Huo Yuhao said, his face showing just the right amount of anger.
Fan Hai turned his head and looked around at the chaotic scene, with broken bones lying not far away.
"Yes, they should have anger and resentment."
He didn't know what Huo Yuhao had done, but now that the spirits and vengeful ghosts had disappeared, it should be considered a good thing.
As Fan Hai's gaze swept over the rows of statues, he was surprised to find that the statue holding the Nautilus had changed; the object in its hand was gone.
"Nautilus." Fan Hai looked at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao, mimicking his actions before the sea was turned upside down, nodded earnestly and said, "Yes, I took that giant conch shell. Legend has it that this giant conch shell has the ability to foresee the future."
Looking at Huo Yuhao's sincere expression, Fan Hai touched his face, feeling that something was amiss.
"Alright then, you can take that thing. But since you're a decent human, let me give you a heads-up: if you take that thing, those guys from the ocean will be watching you."
"The Secret Land of the Great Sea?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"You know?" For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on the young boy's face as he turned over the sea.
"I was entrusted by Xiaohai Douluo to help him free his soul from the secret realm of the sea one day when I have the ability." Huo Yuhao pointed to the broken sea god statue.
"You know about this too? Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai, why does this name sound familiar? Never mind, since he's a Douluo, his wife should be a priestess. If she's a priestess, then it's normal for Da Hai to make a move..." Fan Hai rubbed his temples, then went to the statue holding a conch shell and touched the statue's navel a few times.
The statue immediately cracked open in several places, and then part of it fell out, which turned out to be a small stone box.
The stone box was originally perfectly integrated with the statue.
Fan Hai opened the stone box and took out a piece of paper from inside.
"Keep it yourself. If the heavens and the seas come looking for you, it's best not to resist. This is a priest's contract. Since you've taken the Nautilus Conch, you must become a priest."
"Otherwise, you might die. Those old geezers in the Secret Realm of the Great Ocean are quite powerful."
"So, I advise you to just sign it and be done with it."
The sheet of paper floated lightly into Huo Yuhao's hands.
He looked down and saw characters he had never seen before.
