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

Chapter 73 Landy Wen Tree Heart
Huo Yuhao and Huo Yuxi have lived in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion since they were young.

Their impression of evil soul masters came from the stories Huo Yuner told them. From them, they understood that ordinary people had no power to fight back against powerful and evil evil soul masters.

After receiving their affirmative answers, Master Xuan's tone became much more relaxed. "Very good, I was not wrong about the people. Before the selection competition, your teachers should have told you that the eight winners will go on a secret mission with us."

"This secret mission is not a competition, but your first surveillance mission. Are you all ready?"

"We are ready." Several people answered in a sonorous and powerful voice. The determination in their eyes made Xuan Lao smile. He smiled heartily, feeling affirmed.

"Okay, Zhou Yi, Wang Yan, give them the equipment. Xiao Tao will introduce the mission to them on the way."

"Yes."

Zhou Yi and Wang Yan each took out four rings. Huo Yuxi was attracted at first sight. The gems on them were pure green and were carved into the shape of Shrek's head.

Following Zhou Yi and Wang Yan's instructions, they pricked their fingers, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it onto the ring. Huo Yuxi took a sneak peek and saw a set of clothes, a mask, a cloak, and a flare.

The flare was the same as the one Huo Yuhao gave her last time. After it was released, all disciples from the outer and inner courtyards, even the Shrek students who had already graduated, would rush to rescue her when they saw it.

At this time, Dai Yueheng took out fifteen flying soul guides from his storage soul guides and said, "These are flying soul guides. Everyone take them and we'll set off."

...

During the trip, Huo Yuxi was still immersed in her own thoughts. From what Xuan Lao said just now, she thought of the man who wanted to capture her and sell her when she went to visit Shrek City with Luo Ling and Lu Wanwan.

Through the illusion, she could also feel how difficult it was for the people who were caught. There were even low-level soul warriors and soul masters inside. She didn't know what the people who bought them wanted to do.

Huo Yuhao and the others didn’t think as much as she did. After all, they had never encountered the same situation before, and it was impossible to empathize with her just through words.

"Xixi, what's wrong with you?" Ma Xiaotao asked with a frown.

Huo Yuxi came back to his senses, "Ah? It's okay."

"I want to tell you about the mission. Don't be dazed and listen carefully." Ma Xiaotao said after observing that the eight people were within the range.

"Okay." Huo Yuxi concentrated.

The others also pricked up their ears quickly. After all, facing an evil soul master was no joke. If you were not careful, you could lose your life.

"Our target this time, the Death Messenger, has a whole team of bandits under his command. They roam the Mingdou Mountains bordering the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire, and often kill caravans and travelers passing through there."

"Our mission this time is to leave no one behind."

"Because evil spirit masters often appear in border areas between countries that are difficult to govern, Shrek is given the right to kill them directly without notification. You don't need to consider this issue."

"Yes."

...

The group landed outside the Xingluo Empire’s garrison camp. Huo Yuxi turned around and found that Xu Sanshi and He Caitou were vomiting violently.

The others were not as exaggerated, but they were also pale. It seemed that only she and Master Xuan were fine.

When everyone recovered, they turned around and found that Old Mrs. Zhou was gone, and in her place was a young and beautiful woman.

Huo Yuxi's eyes widened and he asked uncertainly, "Mr. Zhou?"

"Teacher Zhou has become a beautiful lady?" Wang Dong was also surprised. "This is your teacher Zhou's original appearance. That was just a disguise." Wang Yan laughed at the side.

He also couldn't understand Zhou Yi's idea, and she insisted on making her bright face look old and ugly.

"Do you think I looked old and ugly before?" Zhou Yi snorted and explained to them, "I look unintimidating now, and it doesn't fit with my teaching philosophy."

Huo Yuxi nodded to show that she understood. After all, if Zhou Yi cursed in class like this, she would just think she was joking.

Xuan Lao didn't want to deal with those officials, so he said goodbye to them here. Dai Yuheng led everyone into the military camp unimpeded.

The first time Huo Yuxi saw the tall man, she couldn't control the disgust in her eyes.

I just couldn't understand why my mother insisted on staying in the Duke's Mansion for so long for such a man. This man might not even know the existence of her and my brother.

Dai Yuheng, who was standing next to him, walked out first, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Father."

Hearing the word "father", Huo Yuxi gradually came to her senses. By the way, he was the father of Dai Yaoheng and Dai Huabin, not her and her brother.

They are orphans now.

Her originally bloodthirsty eyes returned to normal. She took a deep breath and suppressed the waves in her heart.

Next came the official mutual praise between Zhou Yi, Wang Yan and Dai Hao. Huo Yuxi was not happy to hear his voice and looked down at the Soul Devouring Spider in his arms.

Communicate with your mind: "Zhuzhu, can you release your spider silk now to explore the surrounding environment?"

"Of course, there are plenty of spider friends here, and we can give you any information you want about the whole mountain."

Just as the Soul Devouring Spider was about to release its silk, their conversation ended. Huo Yuxi had no choice but to ask the Soul Devouring Spider to explore again later.

When leaving, Huo Yuxi clearly saw the way Dai Hao looked at her. She didn't know whether he was shocked by her talent or remembered something when he saw her eyes.

Huo Yuxi raised his hand and gently stroked the corner of his eyes. When his mother was alive, she once said that their eyes were the most similar.

“Xixi.” Huo Yuhao grabbed her wrist. “Don’t think too much. We have nothing to do with him. Since the day mom died, we have no other family.”

"Ah."

Time was urgent, and after Wang Yan got the relevant information from here, he rested for a while and then set off. When they arrived at the entrance to the mountain, everyone put away the flying soul guide, changed their equipment, and entered the mountain in formation.

Huo Yuxi let the Soul Devouring Spider release its silk while walking, sensing the situation on the entire mountain. As the sky gradually darkened, Ma Xiaotao found a relatively secluded place.

"Everyone, rest where you are. Do not make a fire." After she finished speaking, she was about to sit down when Huo Yuxi suddenly handed over a dark blue object from behind.

"What is this?" Ma Xiaotao asked curiously.

“Wen Lan tree heart?” Before Huo Yuxi could answer, Wang Yan rushed out from behind and took the thing from her hand. His face was serious, “Where did you get it from?”

"Spider brought it back." Huo Yuxi answered obediently, "When we were at the mountain pass, someone was taking this thing, and it asked its spider friends to secretly bring back a piece."

"At the mountain pass, that was a few hours ago?" Wang Yan's tone became serious, and Zhou Yi came over when he heard the noise.
