Chapter 257.3. Jade Phosphorous Flower of the Seven Absolutes
Why? Why do you have to give so much for her? Is she worth it?
He was still smiling faintly, and he still didnt make a sound. He had already shown his heart from the moment he knelt down in front of her. He had to go, no matter what he had to face.
Go, go, go! Wang Qiuer continued to shout. Just go, and go to your death. The Jade Phosphorous Flowers fear the cold!. If you channel your domain to the strongest possible level, even those Jade Phosphorous Flowers of the Nine Absolutes will be afraid of you. Go, you bastard! I will not follow you to a certain death, you can go by yourself if you want to die for her! You will never return, ever!
She tossed him heavily into the distance as she spoke, and he flew for dozens of meters before finally mming into a tree.
Huo Yuhao didnt utter a word from beginning to end, he was just quietly staring at her with a faint smile on his face. He still wore the same smile even when he got to his feet after crashing into the enormous tree, which had snapped in two from the impact.
Thank you. He finally opened his mouth, and said words that couldnt get any simpler as he strode towards the miasmic clouds.
Wang Qiuer didnt follow him this time.
Huo Yuhao paused after a few steps and turned back around. He looked at Wang Qiuer, who was still rooted to the ground, her shoulders still quivering.
Youre a nice girl, Qiuer. We will always be friends whether I return from this expedition dead or alive. He left this statement for her and gave her a radiant smile before he turned back around. He didnt stop or slow down this time as he widened his stride and walked away. His steps were determined and unwavering.
Bastard! Wang Qiuer suddenly eximed and hurled her right fist violently. She hammered heavily on therge tree that she had just tossed Huo Yuhao against.
The tree was thick enough for a person to ce his or her arms around, but the broken half of the tree flew backwards into the distance and mmed against anotherrge tree before it broke apart into smithereens. Her punch was just too strong and ferocious.
Wang Qiuer bit down on her lower lip as she copsed to the ground, and tears flowed down her face uncontrobly. Why? How can there be a fool, an idiot like him? Why is he willing to give his life for a girl? Hes still going to do it even though he knows hes going to die! Has he really gone crazy?
Huo Yuhaos faint smile surfaced repeatedly before her eyes... that despicable smile! The final image stopped at the moment he knelt down before her.
Wang Qiuer knew that she would never forget this moment, when he knelt down in front of her for another woman. She would remember this for the rest of her life.
Huo Yuhao! You youre such a bastard! Wang Qiuer shouted in Huo Yuhaos direction as he departed the scene. Intense golden light erupted from her body, and every inch within ten meters around her glowed with golden luster.
Huo Yuhao wasnt that far away, so he could still hear her voice. That faint smile appeared on his mouth once more, but he didnt turn back around.
Im sorry, Qiuer. Perhaps this is the best ending. After all, I am the only person that should be here for this dangerous endeavor.
So, the Jade Phosphorous Seven Exotic Flower was not afraid of fire, but it was afraid of extreme cold. No wonder uncle Niu Tian had figured that he had the ability to venture into this ce.
What Huo Yuhao didnt know was that Niu Tian had decided to give that pouch to Wang Donger because of Huo Yuhaos Snow Empress Spirit. He had both Ultimate ice and snow, and extreme chill was a natural counter to the toxic miasma all around him. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to be strong enough. Niu Tian had never expected that Huo Yuhao had Skydream Iceworm, and that Skydream was strong enough to break the spiritual seal. This ended up with Huo Yuhaoing into the Setting Sun Forest prematurely.
Huo Yuhao hadnt moved too far before he found a rtively t ce to sit down. He began to meditate to restore his soul power, while he filled the final two empty Milk Bottles at the same time.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, and began to devise and refine the n in his mind. It was impossible to make his n entirely seamless and without loopholes, but he had to make sure to prevent all dangers that could possibly appear.
Todays adventure wasnt aplete waste, as he had managed to figure some things out, while also discovering that the Jade Phosphorous Flowers were the true originators of the toxic miasma. This information was imperative to his operation and what he was about to do.
Wang Qiuer seemed to have given up on him, and didnt follow him. Huo Yuhao had had a peculiar sentiment when he knelt down; he had wanted to show his determination to her, but he had also wanted to consolidate this determination for himself. Furthermore, he had be a lot calmer and more rational than before.
He had thought it through. He didnt have to find the herb on this expedition, and the mentality of paying with his life even if he was unsessful was irresponsible. What he had to do was do everything he could and whatever was necessary to obtain that herb.
It wasnt embarrassing to ask for help. If he couldnt do it by himself, then he would have to ask the academy for help. Shrek Academys abilities meant there was definitely something they could do against all this miasma. Furthermore, the Jade Phosphorous Flower of the Nine Absolutes would be extremely beneficial for the academys nt-type soul masters.
ording to Niu Tian, Wang Dongers hidden injury would only be triggered at the age of twenty, while she was currently only seventeen years old. Niu Tian would never use Dongers life as a joke, so this time estimation should be urate. That also meant that he had more than two years left.
On the other hand, if Skydream hadnt helped him open that spiritual seal, he would never have opened that seal by himself to see everything that he had seen until after at least another year. That also meant that this endeavor wasnt that urgent.
Huo Yuhao gradually realized all this after he encountered the Jade Phosphorous Flowers of the Seven Absolutes. The worry, the anxiety, and even the feeling of valiant sacrifice settled down after he thought everything through. What he had to do now was everything he could to probe the valleys secrets. Obtaining sufficient and valuable information was enough.
If he didnt have the strength to find this herb, it wouldnt be difficult to rely on his own abilities to retreat safely so that he could go back with his life. He would then find another opportunity toe back here to retrieve the herb when his chances were boosted to the highest possible level, and that oue was what he really wanted.
The reason why he said all that he did to Wang Qiuer was because he really didnt want to owe her this favor. Huo Yuhao could faintly feel something from Wang Qiuers emotions and her attitude However, he already had Donger, and he couldnt touch Wang Qiuers feelings at all, and this was especially true because they were in a perilous ce. Even though he knew that his operation would be a lot easier if he had Wang Qiuers help, he didnt dare to ask her for more help.
He knew that he couldnt afford to owe her this favor. Therefore, he would rather she leave his side than allow her to continue on this hazardous adventure with him. Huo Yuhao had still perceived Wang Qiuer as just his friend before this, and when they pushed through the poisonous clouds, he had unleashed his abilities while hugging her at the same time. However, she had subconsciously leaned into his shoulder, and it was then that Huo Yuhao realized something wasnt right. Im sorry, Qiuer
---
Midday had just passed, and Huo Yuhao wasnt about to wait until the following day. He recharged both Milk Bottles and used another hour to rest so that he could be at his optimum condition.
This was the hottest time of the day, so the miasmic clouds werent any stronger than before. Huo Yuhao checked his inventory and equipment once more before he activated his flying-type soul tool and soared into the sky, and back towards the ce locked in his memory.
Huo Yuhao had Spiritual Detection to urately determine his location, and he quickly found the ce where the dense multicolored clouds sank downward, and where bluish-green lights shone faintly.
He didnt plunge through the toxic clouds here. Instead, he hovered in midair about one kilometer from his destination.
This is about right. I wont touch those Jade Phosphorous Poison Clouds. Huo Yuhao mumbled under his breath, and the stationary soul cannon was back on his shoulder in the next moment.
His method was no different from before, and he tossed one shell before he fired another one from his shoulder immediately afterwards. Two incendiary explosive bombs collided in midair, and the subsequent explosion created an enormous hole in the miasmic clouds.
Huo Yuhao didnt fire another two rounds with the experience from before, as he had enough understanding and judgment about the poison clouds thickness and strength. He didnt have to waste his cannon shells, as those things, would be critical to protecting his life when he broke out from this ce.
Huo Yuhao plummeted towards the ground as soon as the hole appeared.
Right at this moment, a golden light erupted beside him without warning and dove down through the sky along with him.
The owner of this golden light was burning up with pale golden mes, and the faint miasma dissipated and vanished when it came into contact with these mes.
You why have you followed me? Huo Yuhaos voice was full of exasperation.
There was no question that Wang Qiuer was the owner of this golden light. Huo Yuhao hadnt used Spiritual Detection at all so that he could conserve soul power, which was why he had no idea that Wang Qiuer had followed behind him, and that she had picked this opportune moment. They were both barreling through the poisonous clouds, and there was no way he could reject her participation anymore.
