Chapter 4: The Wind Baboon Sacrifices to the Heavens, and Lord Tianmeng Descends!
Familiar recipe, familiar taste, familiar... ten years of cultivation of the Wind Baboon
They're all back!
Wind Baboon! Are you the one who wants to be a god-killer?
Huo Yuhao quickly activated the Star-Guiding Technique. With the star power distorted, his figure disappeared, and the wind baboon naturally missed its target.
This was Huo Yuhao's first direct battle against a soul beast. He took out the White Tiger Dagger from his soul tool and immediately distanced himself from the so-called God-Slayer Wind Baboon.
Realizing it had missed its target, the brown-yellow baboon hurriedly turned around. Its blood-red eyes flashed with terrifying ferocity. It pounded its chest with its fists and let out a deafening roar. Then, a ball of white light shot out from its mouth and headed straight for Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was a bit dumbfounded. He couldn't understand it at all. Not to mention the ointment that cost thirty gold soul coins, even the Starlight Camouflage he used was difficult for a Soul Master to see through. How could a ten-year-old Wind Baboon possibly break through two lines of defense and lock onto his position?
Unable to figure it out, and with no time to worry about such things, Huo Yuhao quickly grabbed the White Tiger Dagger and charged forward. The sharp tip of the blade pierced straight into the ball of white light. The two collided, and the terrifying friction forced Huo Yuhao back several steps.
Just as Huo Yuhao finally managed to deflect the immense force, the wind baboon charged forward relentlessly, its sharp claws aimed at Huo Yuhao's face.
Huo Yuhao quickly crouched down to dodge the attack, then aimed at the wind baboon's chest, leaped up with his calves, and stabbed it hard. With a painful roar, the wind baboon finally fell to the ground.
Fearing something might go wrong, Huo Yuhao repeatedly twirled the dagger after stabbing him, turning the organs inside his chest into a jumbled mess. If he could survive that, then he wouldn't be alive.
Looking at the large patches of blood on his body and the bloodstains left in the camp he had painstakingly cleaned up, Huo Yuhao felt utterly exhausted.
The sun had just completely set, and there was no way to find a new campsite. However, the bloody smell everywhere would inevitably attract a bunch of soul beasts that hunted for food at night.
Just as Huo Yuhao was having a terrible headache, an indistinguishable male or female voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Huh? A human with mental attributes! My good puppet, you did a great job! Your death was so worthwhile, I will always remember your sacrifice! I am so moved!"
What's going on?
Huo Yuhao was startled; he had absolutely no idea what had happened.
Just then, cracks suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him. The cracks arched and grew larger, and a golden-white ball of light kept protruding outwards.
Huo Yuhao probably understood. He had really run into one. The one who came was indeed the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!
A chill crept from the crack, forming a thin layer of frost. Finally, with a crisp sound, it shattered into white, transparent ice shards, revealing its true form.
It was a round, chubby head that looked incredibly soft to the touch. It was entirely jade white and over a meter in diameter. It slowly crawled out, its body over seven meters long, with ten golden patterns circling its body.
As it appeared, white mist began to appear from Huo Yuhao's breath, and the sudden drop in temperature made him shiver.
Huo Yuhao understood the visitor's intentions, but what it had just said made him more wary.
"Hiss, aren't you afraid of me? Human, although I won't harm you, your complete lack of fear of me greatly displeases Lord Tianmeng!"
Huo Yuhao twitched the corner of his mouth, suddenly feeling a desire not to talk to this guy.
"If you, senior soul beast, wanted to kill me, I would have been dead long ago. Since I'm still alive, it means I'm useful to you, right?"
The giant silkworm nodded arrogantly, its voice continuing to echo in Huo Yuhao's mind, "Quite clever! No wonder you're the human I, Lord Tianmeng, chose! Little fellow, let me introduce myself first. I am the embodiment of kindness and justice, the God of Soul Beasts, possessing both wisdom and beauty, an unparalleled genius, with millions of years of cultivation, the creator of the Douluo Continent."
"Stop, stop, stop! I know who you are now, so what exactly do you want with me here, senior? If you're going to kill me, at least give me a quick death!" Huo Yuhao couldn't stand this chatterbox any longer and interrupted Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's speech.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm immediately nudged its round head closer, its two golden eyes glaring fiercely at Huo Yuhao. "How dare you interrupt me! You rude human brat! I am a million-year-old divine beast! Aren't you surprised at all?!"
Before Huo Yuhao could reply, a thunderclap suddenly rang out, startling Tianmeng, who shook her round "head" and looked around, then lowered her "head" as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little one, I mean you no harm. Just follow my instructions. We need to hurry!"
After saying this, Tianmeng didn't give Huo Yuhao a chance to reply. She then placed her "head" on Huo Yuhao's forehead. The ten golden patterns on her body transformed into ten golden halos that began to pulsate wildly. Then, the ten golden halos enveloped Huo Yuhao's side, while Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's true form transformed into streams of white light that flowed into his body.
Huo Yuhao knew he couldn't do anything after that, so he cooperated by fainting.
"Not bad! An eight-year-old Soul Master may not be at the level of a fully innate Soul Master, but their meridians are clear and their bones and blood are completely free of impurities. This is far rarer than a fully innate Soul Master! I've truly struck gold! Little one, from now on, I'll be your Wisdom Soul Ring! I'll protect you if anything happens!"
An invisible spiritual pressure swept across every corner within a hundred miles the instant the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm completely merged into Huo Yuhao's body.
Meanwhile, at the Lake of Life in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, a black-haired man in a black robe looked up in the direction where the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had just escaped. His golden eyes narrowed slightly, and he coldly snorted, "You got off easy. If it weren't for the Master's personal arrangement, how could you have gotten away so easily?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, a clear female voice seemed to come from all directions.
"Di Tian, we need an anchor point to enter human society and understand humanity. No matter what this insect chooses, it can't escape my grasp."
Upon hearing this voice, a look of respect appeared on Di Tian's face, and he immediately knelt on one knee.
"I left the Silver Dragon Mark on that insect; it will serve as my eye to witness everything. When the time comes, I will act personally. Our chances are running out."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian's expression grew even more solemn.
The emerald lake of life rippled with silver light, and the moon in the night sky pulsed with its own silver radiance, their intertwined and resonating like the tides.
