Douluo 2: The sickly sister is the group's favorite

Chapter 14: Treasure Hunt at Midnight
"Huo Yuhao!"

Huo Yuhao was chatting with Tang Ya when he was startled by an angry voice next to him.

Turning around, it was Wang Dong.

"Why are you here?" Huo Yuhao's eyes wandered, and he touched his nose guiltily, thinking of the scene he saw in the dormitory earlier...

Wang Dong sat next to him and said in a low voice, "Next time you dare to enter the dormitory without knocking, I will kill you."

“We are all men, why are you shy?” Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but retorted.

Wang Dong grabbed Huo Yuhao's neck and shook him, "Say it again!"

"Wang Dong, let my brother go. He can't breathe." Huo Yuxi knew that Wang Dong would not be really in trouble, but she was still worried when she saw her brother's face flushed and he was having trouble breathing.

"Hmph." Wang Dong crossed his arms across his chest and turned his head to the side.

"Hey, Xixi, who is this cute little boy?" Tang Ya leaned close to Huo Yuxi and asked in a low voice.

"He is my brother's roommate, Wang Dong."

Huo Yuxi's voice came out, and Huo Yuhao remembered that he had not introduced them yet, "Wang Dong, this is Tang Ya, our senior."

Tang Ya stretched her head over and said, "Hey, isn't this a coincidence? You all know each other. How about Junior Brother Wang Dong also come and join our Tang Sect!"

"Are you from the Tang Sect?" Wang Dong asked in surprise, turning to look at Tang Ya, "I heard that the Tang Sect's hidden weapons are extremely sophisticated, and some can even threaten gods."

"That's right." Tang Ya raised her head proudly, "How about it, do you want to come? Look, your good roommate and the lovely Xixi are here."

"Okay." Wang Dong said seriously, "Master Tang, I want to join the Tang Sect."

Tang Ya knew from Wang Dong's temperament that he was not an ordinary person and that he was just joking when he said those words. She didn't expect that he actually agreed.

"Are you serious?" Tang Ya also said formally, "Let me warn you first, there are only four of us in the Tang Sect right now."

Wang Dong's eyes were firm, but Tang Ya hesitated: "Let me think about it, and I'll give you an answer then."

While they were talking, Beibei and Xu Sanshi had already walked into the venue.

Huo Yuxi watched seriously. Her combat ability was too poor. She could learn some practical skills from other people’s battles.

For example, now, both people on the field are three-ring soul masters. Beibei's martial soul is a top-level beast martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Xu Sanshi's martial soul is a pitch-black shield.

The Soul Devouring Spider had crawled out at some point and nestled on top of Huo Yuxi's head to watch the battle, acting as a commentator. "The guy holding the shield also has a mutant spirit. The Black Tortoise, like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, is also a top-level spirit. It's hard to tell who will win this battle."

Huo Yuxi nodded. The evenly matched battle made people's blood boil. No wonder Sister Xiaoya said that the two of them often used fighting spirits to make money.

The two people on the stage were originally fighting rather reservedly, but when Huo Yuxi looked up again, Bei Bei had already taken the lead. As if she had discovered something, she turned to look at Huo Yuhao.

Sure enough, Huo Yuhao’s face had gradually turned pale. He was worried, but knew he knew what he was doing, so he turned around and continued to watch the game.

Bei Bei's simultaneous use of her second and third soul skills was very effective. Huo Yuxi was thinking that next time she would perform them consecutively to see the effect.

Thinking about the previous match with Ma Xiaotao, one reason was that my physical fitness was not good enough, which was a fatal flaw. There should be other ways to make up for this shortcoming.

The second reason was that she was not proficient in the use of her soul skills. The attack directions of the Nightmare Blade were always fixed and connected, and the distance was too large for her to be distracted and unable to control it.

Otherwise, the range of attack of the eight sharp blades could be expanded. With Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection and sharing, Bei Bei won without surprise, but Huo Yuhao also fainted due to overdrawn soul power.

Wang Dong and Tang Ya carried Huo Yuhao back to the dormitory together, and Huo Yuxi followed them closely with the Soul-Eating Spider in his arms.

The Soul Devouring Spider confirmed that he fainted only because of overdrawn mental and spiritual power, and that he would be fine after a short rest, so she was not worried and was in the mood to chat:

"Zhuzhu, how many books have you read to know so much? Tell me, what books have you read? I also want to become powerful."

The Soul-Eating Spider raised its head and said, "I am already very powerful, I don't need to read books. If you want to become powerful, then read more books and practice hard, and you can become powerful in the future. But you don't need to think about reaching my level, you definitely can't reach it."

Huo Yuxi automatically ignored the second half of the sentence. Speaking of this, she remembered how to explain the spirit ring to Senior Sister Xiaotao.

Bei Bei rushed over from the fighting spirit area and saw Huo Yuhao resting his head on Wang Dong’s shoulder. He quickly took out a blue pill with mist on it from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.

Huo Yuxi suddenly smelled a fresh fragrance, "What a nice fragrance."

Beibei was stunned for a moment, "I'm sorry, Xixi, this is the only one I have now. I'll give it to you next time when Xu Sanshi brings the other one."

“Ah?” Huo Yuxi quickly refused: “No need, Brother Beibei. This is of little use to me. You can keep it for yourself or Sister Xiaoya.”

Huo Yuxi looked determined, and Bei Bei no longer insisted, "Okay then, I'll pay attention to something else for you next time."

Senior students were not allowed to enter the junior dormitories. After Bei Bei asked Wang Dong to take Huo Yuhao back, he went out with Tang Ya.

Wang Dong said something to Huo Yuxi and took Huo Yuhao back to the dormitory to rest.

After they all disappeared, Huo Yuxi carefully observed the surroundings, then crouched and followed the route given by the Soul-Eating Spider to a forest.

Late at night, the moon was hanging high in the sky. The dense trees in the forest blocked out the moonlight, leaving only the blue silver grass emitting a faint glow.

"Spider, it's so dark here, is there really no scary stuff?" Huo Yuxi was frightened by the surrounding environment and didn't know why it had to ask her to come here so late at night.

'It'll be fine, just go a little further.'

Huo Yuxi obediently moved forward slowly.

Countless transparent spider silks flowed out of the Soul-Eating Spider's body, and it seemed to have self-awareness as it carefully searched for something in the forest.

Suddenly, its eyes lit up, and it pulled the erected hair on Huo Yuxi's head, "Take three steps to the left."

Huo Yuxi looked at it dimly, and reluctantly went to the place it said, and observed it carefully. Well, there was nothing unusual.

'Dig it up, dig it up.'

"Zhuzhu, if you don't tell me what it is and how deep it is, how can I dig without any tools?"

"It's not deep, just find a branch and dig it out. As for what it is, you'll know when you dig it out."

The Soul-Eating Spider was calmly directing the work at the side. Huo Yuxi picked up a fallen branch and began to dig according to its instructions.

The further she dug, the more nervous she became. This looked like a place where someone had been killed and a body had been hidden in the middle of the night. She might find a skull or something...
