Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 8: Mandrill Snake

This blood soul porcupine, with over three thousand years of cultivation, possessed significantly higher intelligence than other soul beasts of comparable cultivation due to its spiritual attributes.

This was evident from its earlier scheming against the Emerald Demon Bird, luring it into a trap.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao maintained constant vigilance.

Even a fish on a chopping board would struggle, let alone a soul beast with considerable intelligence.

A quarter of an hour later, the blood soul porcupine was torn and bloodied, with no intact spot left on its body.

Gushing blood stained a large area of the ground.

The blood soul porcupine collapsed, seemingly truly exhausted.

Huo Yuhao's condition wasn't much better.

Frequent use of the Rasengan rapidly depleted his soul power.

That wasn't all; during the entanglement, the blood soul porcupine's blood attracted several soul beasts.

Fortunately, they were still in the outer perimeter, and Huo Yuhao deliberately led them away.

So far, no other thousand-year soul beasts had appeared, and the few hundred-year soul beasts that did appear either retreated after sensing Huo Yuhao's formidability or were killed, posing no significant pressure on Huo Yuhao.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Huo Yuhao glanced behind him, his handsome brows furrowing.

However, a moment later, Huo Yuhao turned back, unsparingly using his soul power, and a larger Rasengan than before appeared in his right hand.

"Roar."

Sensing the danger, the blood soul porcupine let out a low cry, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

However, the next moment, the blood soul porcupine charged towards Huo Yuhao at an incredible speed, no less than when it fought the Emerald Demon Bird.

The blood soul porcupine's outburst didn't surprise Huo Yuhao.

He understood that this beast intended to launch a desperate counterattack before death.

This was why he hadn't overly pressured the blood soul porcupine earlier.

Although he was still confident in killing the blood soul porcupine, there was no need to do so.

The blood soul porcupine was in poor condition, while he was at full strength, so he could completely exhaust the blood soul porcupine; why do something strenuous and unrewarding?

"Roar."

The charging blood soul porcupine blocked the enlarged Rasengan and still had energy to spare, continuing to approach Huo Yuhao at high speed amidst painful roars, acting like a mad dog, not caring that blood was gushing from its body.

Its courage was commendable, but reality was cruel.

The blood soul porcupine's ferocity couldn't bring victory, and it couldn't even achieve a mutual destruction.

What awaited it were more Rasengans.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Explosions rang out one after another, and flowers, plants, and broken wood flew everywhere.

The blood soul porcupine's blood-soaked body fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing out as if it cost nothing.

Its large pig head had already been blasted beyond recognition, and it was clearly on its last breath, on the verge of death.

"Swoosh."

Just then, a dark shadow shot out from behind Huo Yuhao.

Not surprised, Huo Yuhao, who had been maintaining spiritual detection, had already noticed its approach.

Under the all-encompassing, all-seeing monitoring of spiritual detection, the newcomer had nowhere to hide.

It was a large snake, entirely peach-colored, with a small, flower-like protrusion on its forehead, and a body length of three meters.

When Huo Yuhao was in the Duke's mansion, he lived cautiously, afraid of being resented by the First Madam, and didn't dare to show too much ambition, so his understanding of soul beasts could be said to be that of a novice.

He could only sense from its aura that this soul beast's cultivation had reached a thousand years, which was not weak in the outer area of the Star Dou Forest.

However, the serpentine soul beast seemed a little embarrassed at the moment, with charred wounds all over its body, from which streaks of blue-purple lightning occasionally flashed.

"Little Yuhao, dodge quickly!"

An anxious voice rang out, and Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a familiar figure.

The man was dressed in white, with a handsome face and short blue-purple hair; wasn't it Beibei, whom he had separated from not long ago!

Two yellow and one purple soul rings didn't revolve around his body like normal soul masters, but revolved around that transformed right arm.

At this moment, Beibei no longer had his previous refined and easy-going demeanor.

The sleeve of his right arm had burst due to the expansion of his arm, and blue-purple lightning snakes flickered constantly on his body.

The aura on his body also exuded a violent meaning, giving people the feeling of being ready to devour someone.

But now there was no time to greet each other.

Seeing the Mandrill Snake approaching him at high speed, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate to launch a Soul Shock.

Huo Yuhao's understanding of soul beasts was limited, but don't forget that there was an encyclopedia-like existence in his sea of ​​spirit, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Hiss."

Compared to the Blood Soul Porcupine, which was more restrained by Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, this Mandrill Snake was not so lucky.

The impact of spiritual power caused a momentary unbearable tingling in its brain, and its body shape also slowed down.

At this moment, the gap between the Mandrill Snake and the Blood Soul Porcupine could be seen.

The Blood Soul Porcupine was mainly of the spiritual attribute and had the innate skill Spiritual Shock Field, which could be said to be very restrained by Huo Yuhao, while this Mandrill Snake not only had less cultivation than the Blood Soul Porcupine, but also was not of the spiritual attribute, so it was defeated in one move.

"Good opportunity."

Although Beibei didn't know why, when he saw the Mandrill Snake's actions slowing down, he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

"Thunder Fury."

Beibei let out a low shout, and the purple thousand-year soul ring among the soul rings circling his right arm shone brightly.

A low rumble suddenly exploded from Beibei's body, and the scales on his right arm quickly spread upwards, stopping only when they reached his right chest.

At this moment, the aura on Beibei's body soared, and the blue-purple lightning on his body was extremely strong.

Beibei's martial soul was Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, known as the strongest beast martial soul in terms of attack ability.

His third soul skill, Thunder Fury, could instantly increase his own electric soul power attack effect by more than 50%, and it could also have a comprehensive amplification effect on the thunder attribute.

"Thunder Dragon Claw."

Beibei, who had received a comprehensive increase, launched his soul skill again.

This time, he launched his first soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw.

Between the flashes of the first yellow soul ring, a thunder and lightning dragon claw with a diameter of about three feet took shape.

Not allowing any delay, Beibei understood that the influence Huo Yuhao had on the peach-colored snake could not last, and then attacked the Mandrill Snake the moment the soul skill formed.

The Mandrill Snake's current state was not as good as Beibei imagined.

The soul shock made its mind blank, and it did not sense the attack that was about to come from the outside world at all.

"Boom, hiss."

As expected, the Thunder Dragon Claw just hit the head of the Mandrill Snake without deviation.

For a time, the explosion of energy collision and the screams of the Mandrill Snake were endless.

Bright red blood flew and splashed in the air, mixed with a small amount of minced meat from time to time.

"Good job, Beibei, I'll help you."

At this time, Tang Ya, who was not far behind Beibei, also rushed over quickly.

As she spoke, dense blue vines swarmed from under her feet towards the Mandrill Snake.

"Eh? Little Yuhao, why are you here? Dangerous, come here quickly, sister will protect you."

After discovering Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya quickly reminded him.

"Be careful of the pink gas, that is the poisonous mist of the Mandrill Snake, come and eat this."

As soon as Tang Ya finished speaking, she saw a large amount of pink gas spewing out of the Mandrill Snake's mouth, which was full of foul-smelling mucus.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, who was a novice, Tang Ya had a considerable understanding of soul beasts and knew that the pink gas was a highly poisonous substance, so she immediately poured a pill from a porcelain bottle and gave it to Huo Yuhao.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoya, this is not necessary."

Huo Yuhao politely declined Tang Ya's kindness and casually pushed out a stream of soul power to blow away the few wisps of poisonous mist that were drifting over.
