Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 152: Luring and Killing a 100,000-Year Soul Beast

"This is called 'Hearts Linked, Mutual Protection'. It's a Level Seven soul tool. Each of the two bracelets has a storage space of thirty cubic meters. Note that their storage space can store living things. Most importantly, the people who possess them can use them for long-distance voice transmission."

Listening to Xu Jiujiu's introduction, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up slightly. Isn't this the Douluo version of a walkie-talkie? Has the soul tool technology of the Star Luo Empire progressed to this extent?

Quite a few people were tempted. They could buy this and give it to the younger generation in their families, so that if they encountered anything while out, they could notify the family immediately.

Instantly, people's gazes toward the two bracelets became heated.

However, many people remained rational. The reason was simple: if it were as outrageous as Xu Jiujiu said, then these bracelets wouldn't be ranked as only Level Seven soul tools.

Sure enough, Xu Jiujiu continued to add, "However, I must remind everyone that the voice transmission of 'Hearts Linked' has distance limitations. The limited distance we tested at the auction house is within twenty-three kilometers. Moreover, the materials of 'Hearts Linked' are special. If any master is thinking of researching and replicating them, you may be disappointed."

"The auction will now begin. 'Hearts Linked, Mutual Protection', starting price is 500,000."

"510,000."

As soon as Xu Jiujiu's voice fell, someone quickly started bidding.

"550,000."

"900,000."

After thinking it through, Huo Yuhao also started bidding. He didn't need to do much; the golden-skirted maid immediately started operating after Huo Yuhao bid.

"VIP Room Number Three bids 900,000."

"VIP Room Number Five bids 950,000."

"VIP Room Number Two…"

After a slightly intense competition, Huo Yuhao successfully won this first item, spending 1.9 million gold soul coins.

"Thank you, VIP Number Three, for your support of this auction house. Next…" After saying some polite words, Xu Jiujiu continued to introduce the following items.

The second item was twelve Level Six fixed-装 soul tool shells, each with different attributes, unique features, and varying power, barely squeezing into the ranks of top auctions.

The twelve shells were finally sold for 700,000, a bit less popular than the first item. The main reason was that fixed-装 soul tool shells were mostly used by the military and were suitable for war.

If they were close-combat soul tools, there would definitely be people scrambling for them, but although this thing was terrifying in power, it also had many limitations, such as range and hit rate. Moreover, this thing was a one-time consumable, too expensive.

It was already pretty good that it wasn't withdrawn from the auction.

The following items were more precious than the last. Three soul bones, a rare metal, and a Level Eight long-range soul tool.

The preciousness of soul bones need not be said. The age of all three exceeded 20,000 years, and the transaction price all exceeded 3 million gold soul coins.

The Level Eight long-range soul tool was also auctioned off for a high price of 2.1 million.

What shocked Huo Yuhao the most was the rare metal. According to Xu Jiujiu's introduction, there were only twenty kilograms, but it attracted a scramble between VIP Room Number One and VIP Room Number Two, and finally soared to 5.5 million gold soul coins before it ended. The winner was VIP Room Number One.

This almost made Huo Yuhao's eyeballs fall to the ground. He realized at this time that he still underestimated the profession of soul tool masters. You don't know the price of firewood and rice until you're running the household.

However, even so, Huo Yuhao had no intention of concurrently practicing soul tools. His goal was to become a god, and soul tool technology required the joint accumulation and efforts of generations. It was impossible to achieve it overnight. With the current soul tool technology, even if it developed for another hundred years, it would not be able to compete with gods.

Later, Kong Deming, a royal offering of the Sun Moon Empire, was only slightly stronger than a Limit Douluo after becoming a Level Ten soul tool master.

A person's energy is limited. It's impossible to chew thoroughly if you bite off more than you can swallow. Huo Yuhao was convinced of this.

The Huo Yuhao in the original story was like this. He opened so many cheats, soul master cultivation, soul tool master, undead magic, seemingly omnipotent, but when you count them up, none of them were proficient to the extreme.

"Next, please have our auction house staff bring out the eighth item of this auction."

After Xu Jiujiu's voice fell, a black-clothed man pushed a small cart onto the platform. A square object was placed on the cart, covered with a large red silk cloth, making it impossible to see what it was.

"This next item is a bit special. Perhaps it is not worth mentioning in itself, but if someone can bring out its value, then it is definitely a priceless treasure. In fact, if it weren't for its special nature, it could have been the finale item of this auction," Xu Jiujiu, worthy of being a red-level auctioneer, easily aroused the curiosity of the people present.

"Now, let's reveal the true face of this item."

Inside VIP Room Number Three, Huo Yuhao watched the soul tool light screen with great interest, driven by curiosity. He also wanted to see what could be called a priceless treasure by Xu Jiujiu.

At Xu Jiujiu's signal, the black-clothed man reached out and pulled off the red silk cloth on the cart, and everyone finally saw the true face of this priceless treasure.

"Holy crap."

After seeing the thing on the cart, Huo Yuhao almost cursed. He felt like he had been screwed over. What did he see? A thousand-year soul beast.

Snow Fox, a type of ice-attribute soul beast, looks like a fox, haunts the far north, belongs to the bottom of the food chain, the only feature is that this soul beast has a very high intelligence, a thousand years can be comparable to an ordinary 30,000-year soul beast, reaching maturity after breaking through three thousand years, at this time their intelligence is no less than that of humans, of course, this is also their peak, which is why they are named Snow Fox.

As the red silk cloth was unveiled, this mysterious item was finally presented in front of everyone. It was a snow-white fox, about thirty centimeters long, with large, loose ears hanging behind its head, short limbs, sharp claws covered with fur, and a small pink nose wrinkling, quite cute.

But, can cuteness be eaten?

Everyone didn't care. This was the Starlight Auction House's top auction. The items sold today were no less than 800,000. A thousand-year soul beast was really too cheap. Not to mention a soul beast, even a thousand-year soul bone was not qualified to enter the top auction.

Moreover, the Snow Fox soul beast was not considered precious. Besides being a bit smarter, it had no other highlights.

"Presumably, all the distinguished guests are very confused as to why a thousand-year soul beast would appear in this auction house's top auction. Now, let me tell you the origin of this soul beast. Not long ago, a soul hunting team entered the far north to obtain soul rings. This Snow Fox was captured at that time. For this reason, that team was also hunted down by two adult Snow Foxes, suffering heavy casualties."

"What I want to tell you is that one of the two adult Snow Foxes has a cultivation of up to 100,000 years, and the other is already close to 90,000 years. Moreover, presumably, you all have some understanding of the habits of Snow Foxes. Because Snow Foxes are extremely intelligent, they usually do not abandon their offspring. If any distinguished guest buys this little Snow Fox back and uses it to attract those two adult Snow Foxes, then a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone will be readily available."
