Douluo: The True Eye
#43 - Death's Hand Bandits
After Wang Yan patiently explained a series of intelligence and arrangements regarding the mission.
Although most of this intelligence was nonsense describing how evil the Hand of Death bandit group was, and how righteous the Shrek Supervision Corps' duties were.
After accepting the arrangements, the Shrek group set off again, but this time, to save time, there was no leisurely sightseeing trip like in the original story.
Without a word, the Shrek group traveled at full speed, with the inner court students with higher cultivation leading the outer court disciples on a forced march.
After half a day, the Shrek group arrived at the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and not far away was a military camp belonging to the Star Luo Empire stationed there.
Subsequently, Dai Yueheng, as the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, borrowed a batch of military flying soul tools for everyone from them.
Of course, this batch of flying soul tools was naturally an old model that had been eliminated by the Sun Moon Empire for who knows how many generations.
However, flying soul tools have always been scarce because they are not practical for low-level soul masters. After all, flying soul tools are expensive on the one hand, and on the other hand, they consume a lot of soul power, which is a great burden for soul masters below the fourth ring.
Moreover, the flying soul tools used by the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent are not as flexible as soul masters who have flying martial souls, so they naturally do not have a large market among low-level soul masters.
However, through this incident, the contradiction between the Soul Tool Department and the Martial Soul Department in Shrek Academy can be directly seen.
In theory, the soul tool masters in Shrek Academy are already considered to be among the more outstanding soul tool masters in the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent.
The soul tools produced in large quantities by the Soul Tool Department are also an important part of supporting Shrek Academy's financial resources.
As for why the official team and the reserve team, which are the face of Shrek Academy, are not equipped with any soul tools from the Soul Tool Department, that is a topic that cannot be touched.
Because whether it is because the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy cannot lower its face and did not apply to the Soul Tool Department.
Or because the Soul Tool Department resented that its official disciples were directly replaced after Ma Xiaotao returned, and even could not join the reserve team.
The final result is what it is now. The flying soul tools used for traveling are borrowed from the military by Dai Yueheng, the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, in his capacity outside the school, which is already very telling.
Through the Eye of Reality, Huo Yuhao carefully examined the flying soul tool assigned to him, and in the vision of the Eye of Reality, the structure of this soul tool can be said to be full of flaws, obviously someone did it on purpose.
Because in Huo Yuhao's eyes, except for a few main soul tool core arrays that convert soul power into rising airflow and propulsion airflow, there are a lot of redundant places in the other soul tool core arrays of this flying soul tool.
It is precisely these redundant soul tool core arrays that cause this flying soul tool to require such a heavy shell for bearing, and also reduce the efficiency of its soul power conversion and increase the consumption of soul power for soul masters.
And these redundant soul tool core arrays are intertwined and buried in the main soul tool core array in an extremely secretive way, making them difficult to identify and disassemble, which is obviously some kind of encryption of the soul tool core array.
However, through the analysis and reorganization of the Eye of Reality, Huo Yuhao can easily disassemble it. If Huo Yuhao is allowed to restore it, both the consumption rate and the utilization rate can be optimized by at least 50%.
Moreover, with the soul tool core array obtained from this flying soul tool, Huo Yuhao can also use it to transform his own soul power circuit, so as to obtain a certain degree of flying ability in advance.
In addition, the soul power that constantly circulates in Huo Yuhao's body every moment is enough to support Huo Yuhao's long-distance flight in emergencies.
Huo Yuhao silently carried the flying soul tool on his back, and according to the guidance of the inner court disciples, he practiced flying step by step with the other reserve team members.
It's just that Wang Dong, who was originally extremely repulsed by soul tools, seems to have forgotten his aversion to soul tools because of the dormancy of the methods left by Tang San in his sea of spirit, and like using a storage soul tool, he happily practiced with the flying soul tool on his back.
After a little training, Xuan Zi stood up, took a sip of wine, and said to everyone: "Okay, you've all adapted almost, right? Just don't vomit when you get into the sky later."
Because he was recuperating from injuries during the previous team battle, Xuan Zi did not intend to let everyone adapt slowly this time.
"This mission is relatively tight on time. I will take you directly to the next journey. Everyone, get ready."
Then, without waiting for Xuan Zi to continue to instruct, Wang Yan took out a special long rope from his storage soul tool and handed it to everyone.
Soon, everyone tied the safety rope to their chest, abdomen, thighs, and arms according to Wang Yan's requirements.
Immediately afterwards, through the buckles, everyone was connected together through the ropes reserved around their waists, and finally the end of this long rope was tied around Xuan Zi's waist.
Then, Xuan Zi directly used soul power to lift a few people into the air, and at the same time, Xuan Zi also took out his flying soul tool and installed it on his back.
Then, an irresistible force pulled everyone forward quickly 'flying', the wind whistling, like a blade.
It is more appropriate to say that this is being dragged than flying, it is completely a miracle of great power, without considering any airflow or wind breaking theory, that is, the physical fitness of soul masters is stronger than ordinary people to be able to withstand such tossing.
As soon as they landed, except for Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, who were stronger, they could still stand intact with pale faces.
Almost everyone else was vomiting one after another, and under the feeling of tumbling in their stomachs, they couldn't wait to vomit everything in their stomachs before giving up.
Huo Yuhao was also pale, and couldn't help but dry heave twice, but because the effect of the magic potion in his body was still there, coupled with the constantly circulating soul power, he quickly recovered.
"Hmph, look at you lot, so easily excited," Xuan Zi, the instigator, said from the side, making light of the situation. He then turned to look at Dai Yueheng beside him: "Little Dai, I made quite a commotion when I landed just now, the military will probably be here soon."
Then, Xuan Zi muttered to himself: "I'll leave things here to you. This old man is going to take a nap first."
After stretching lazily, Xuan Zi abandoned everyone and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Dai Yueheng felt the fiery hidden injury in his chest surge again, but helplessly, he could only sigh and agree.
There's not much more to say about what followed. Although they had lost in the struggle for the throne, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion still retained a considerable amount of wealth and was eyeing the current Xu family imperial clan with hostility.
Moreover, after years of management, the Western Army Group could almost be regarded as the private army of the White Tiger Duke. In addition, the White Tiger lineage was originally the royal family of the Star Luo Empire.
Due to the divine connections of the Evil Eye White Tiger and the Netherworld Spirit Cat, who had ascended to godhood in the past, the current imperial Xu family only restricted certain rights of these two clans, without completely exterminating them, which led to the current situation.
As family members, with Dai Yueheng coming forward, the group quickly arrived at the military camp under the guidance of a general.
Because they were rushing, it was already night, but as Soul Masters, their energy was naturally better than ordinary people, and staying up all night was not a big deal.
Moreover, compared to the fact that most of the Evil Soul Masters' subordinates were ordinary bandits, a covert operation at night was more suitable for the Shrek group.
Arriving at the cowhide tent in the very center of the military formation, although it was already night, the military camp was still brightly lit.
The general who was responsible for leading the way bowed to the man who was lighting a lamp and reading documents in the tent and said, "Marshal, the Young Master and the people from Shrek Academy have arrived."
The man had a handsome face, a resolute expression, and double pupils shining in his eyes. This person was naturally Dai Yueheng's father, the current White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao.
Similarly, he was also the original owner's father and the person with the most complex emotions left behind when his consciousness dissipated, including both hatred and longing.
But all of this had nothing to do with the current transmigrator, Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao just stood in the crowd, calmly looking at the other party.
For the current Huo Yuhao, helping with revenge was acceptable, but acknowledging ancestors was unnecessary. Saying he would kill your whole family meant he would kill your whole family, and he would never go back on his word.
After Dai Hao and Dai Yueheng exchanged a few words, Dai Hao smiled and looked at everyone, saying: "Welcome Teacher Wang Yan and the talented students from Shrek Academy to carry out this inspection mission."
"You have all worked hard on this journey. Why don't you have some food in my army camp? It can be considered as this marshal fulfilling his duty as a host."
Hearing this, Wang Yan did not refuse. After all, they had been rushing all the way, and everyone had no time to eat anything. In addition, after Xuan Zi's leadership, the contents of their stomachs had been almost completely emptied.
After having a meal and meditating to adjust their breathing for two hours, it was already late at night, and the White Tiger Duke's people had also handed over the information they had collected.
In short, apart from learning that the Hand of Death bandit group might be active in the depths of the Mingdou Mountain Range, the Shrek students did not obtain any useful information from here.
"Time is tight, and we still have to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. Although it is late now, the night cannot be an obstacle for the elites of our Shrek Academy, and it will also make those bandits more likely to relax."
Wang Yan glanced at everyone present and continued: "This matter needs to be resolved quickly. Now that we have the map, let's go to the Mingdou Mountain Range to search first. If we are lucky, we can solve everything before noon tomorrow."
Everyone nodded in agreement, while Huo Yuhao was filtering in his mind which of the official team members were best to keep safe first.
Ma Xiaotao doesn't need to be taken care of. It's hard to say who is more evil, her or the Evil Soul Master.
Dai Yueheng doesn't need to be taken care of either. Anyway, he's going to die sooner or later, so he can die whenever he wants.
It's best to save Gongyang Mo, after all, he is now equivalent to a high-end version of Ning Tian.
Whether or not to save Chen Zifeng depends on the situation. After all, he is a Power Attack System Soul Master. If he can be saved, he can participate in single or double matches.
Forget about Yao Haoxuan, his Auxiliary and Control System skills are not outstanding. Let him go wherever he wants.
Ling Luochen doesn't need to be taken care of. Anyway, based on her fighting style, there shouldn't be any problems.
As for the last one, Xixi, she is too fragile. Moreover, if Chen Zifeng is to be protected, then the focus should be on Chen Zifeng's mental erosion, after all, he is in the front row. But in this way, there is not much spare energy to influence Xixi.
'There are a bit too many people I want to protect this time, and my mental power may not be enough. But maybe I can change my thinking and let one person take all the hits, then everything will be fine.' With this thought, Huo Yuhao stopped hesitating.
"Alright, if there are no problems, then let's act immediately. Dai Yueheng, this time you will be in charge as the captain, and I will be responsible for protecting the weaker reserve team members."
"Okay, Teacher Wang." Dai Yueheng still had that smile on his face, but perhaps soon, he wouldn't be able to smile anymore.
Time passed, deep in the Mingdou Mountain Range.
Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, and Chen Zifeng were in the front, the others were in the middle, and Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were at the rear. The group advanced in a line. They had been deep in the Mingdou Mountain Range for an hour, but still had no gains.
However, after identifying the traces in the surrounding environment with the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao said, "I found it, look."
Huo Yuhao pointed to a broken branch: "The break in the branch is still a bit moist, it shouldn't have been broken for long, and the height of this branch doesn't seem like something a Soul Beast active in the mountains would do."
Hearing this, Dai Yueheng nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone be careful, search around, and be careful not to startle the snake."
Before long, under Huo Yuhao's guidance, Wang Yan discovered a forest of Wenlan trees. Then, following the original plot, Wang Yan led everyone to deduce the approximate location of the Hand of Death bandit group's activities.
Huo Yuhao also took the opportunity to report the results of his observations to Wang Yan. Finally, after another hour, the group found the cave where the Hand of Death bandit group was hiding.
