Chapter 147 Xiao Xiao's "Confession"
As soon as Elder Xuan finished speaking, Wang Dong immediately stated, "According to what you said, this palm bone needs to be fused before the right arm bone can be fused. However, I have already fused the right arm bone (Light of Demon Breaker), so I naturally have no chance. I give up."
Huo Yuhao wasn't particularly interested in this soul bone. In the original story, the growth rate of this soul bone couldn't keep up with Huo Yuhao's growth rate at all. If he got his hands on it, he would probably only be able to use it as a carving knife, just like in the original story. It would be better to use it to strengthen Xiao Xiao.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao didn't have the fortune to absorb it; according to the plot, it would eventually fall into her own hands.
Even so, Huo Yuhao knew it was better to make a statement at this point, so he said, "My fighting style is not the head-on style of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Changing my tactics for a soul bone would be putting the cart before the horse, so I give up."
After a pause, Huo Yuhao continued, "Xiao Xiao is the only girl, and she's not good at attacking. If she had this external soul bone that can grow, Xiao Xiao would have made up for her weakness and achieved true offense and defense. Besides, she just fused with the soul ring of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, so fusing with this palm bone should be easier for her. Let's give it to her."
In Huo Yuhao's opinion, Wang Dong was actually the most suitable of the three for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right claw bone. When wielding the side guillotine in close combat, he could suddenly free his right hand to strike someone, which would definitely catch the opponent off guard. It's just a pity that Wang Dong couldn't absorb it.
In contrast, Huo Yuhao has a soul tool and a spirit eye for ranged attacks, and the Ice Jade Scorpion that is currently hiding for close combat. His soul bone doesn't really enhance his combat abilities much.
Xiao Xiao is similar; she mostly uses the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron remotely to fight enemies, and rarely has the opportunity to use the Dark Gold Terror Claw.
But then again, could the secret medicine that was extorted from Xiao Hongchen help with the absorption of the soul bone?
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
After a few seconds of thought, Huo Yuhao shook his head again, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind.
What are you thinking? There's only one dose of the secret medicine, and I need to save it to help absorb my third soul ring. I guess I'll just have to make things difficult for Xiao Xiao. At worst, I'll help her forge some soul tools for free in the future, uh... I'll have to pay for the materials myself.
While Huo Yuhao was still in a daze, Elder Xuan had already made a barbecue grill with a tree branch. A large piece of succulent dark gold dinosaur claw meat was skinned, washed, and skewered on a thick tree branch. The firewood under the barbecue grill was also prepared, and there were even more than ten kinds of seasonings placed next to it.
Seeing the hopeful expression on Elder Xuan's face, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily.
Am I the chef or are you? Do you really need to bring so many seasonings if all you know how to do is grill?
"Hehe. Little Yuhao! The meat of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a rare delicacy, especially the bear paw, which is known as one of the ten most precious delicacies in the world. I've saved the bear paw for you, so freeze it quickly and preserve it. We'll find some top-quality honey when we get back and cook it together."
Bear claws?
Huo Yuhao was intrigued by the ingredients that allowed him to enter the food in his previous life. He wondered if he would have the chance to recreate the steamed bear paw dish from his previous life in the Douluo Continent.
Although I've only seen a brief overview of the process in the video, I think even a simple imitation would taste much better than other methods, right? Maybe I can give it a try when I get back to Shrek.
However, putting the bear claw issue aside for now, Huo Yuhao quickly stored it in his storage soul tool and focused on roasting the bear meat.
In contrast to its impenetrable defense when alive, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear loses the boost from its gold elemental power after death, resulting in incredibly tender meat that is a rare delicacy even without seasoning and with simple preparation.
It's no wonder that the culinary skills in Douluo Continent have developed so slowly. If they want to eat well, they don't need to study cooking techniques; instead, they only need to focus on higher-end ingredients.
When the three of them had almost finished eating, Xiao Xiao finally woke up from absorbing the spirit ring.
"Wow, it smells so good! What's that smell?"
Xiao Xiao opened her eyes and immediately saw the campfire in front of her. She quickly got up, not caring about brushing the ash off her bottom, and snatched the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear meat that Huo Yuhao had just roasted, and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
While chewing on the roasted meat, Xiao Xiao exclaimed indistinctly, "Wow, delicious, so delicious! Class monitor, I even want to pursue you. Whoever marries you will be so lucky!"
Xiao Xiao didn't see that when she said those words, Wang Dong gave her a wary look.
"hiss--!"
This is where the downside of eating and talking becomes apparent; unsurprisingly, Xiao Xiao bit her tongue.
While a Soul Master's physical attributes have indeed improved, the defensive capabilities of the tongue will not increase as much as other parts of the body, although chewing ability does indeed improve along with physical attributes.
Huo Yuhao couldn't even imagine how painful Xiao Xiao's bite must have been.
However, Xiao Xiao continued to wolf down her food as if she didn't react at all, but she didn't say anything more.
Could it be that biting one's tongue to bleed in fantasy stories isn't actually that painful?
Huo Yuhao stared at Xiao Xiao curiously, but dared not imitate the action of biting his tongue.
After a satisfying meal, Huo Yuhao asked Elder Xuan, "Elder Xuan, shall we continue hunting soul beasts while we're still lucky? We can absorb the soul bones slowly once we return to the academy."
Huo Yuhao still wanted to help Xiao Xiao. Maybe under Elder Mu's protection, Xiao Xiao could forcibly absorb the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Soul Bone?
On the contrary, he could only use it as a carving knife.
Elder Xuan waved his hand and said, "Let's stay here. I've had my fill of food and I'm too lazy to move. This is a good time for Xiao Xiao to absorb the soul bone. With me here, no soul beast will dare to approach."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded.
While eating barbecue, Xiao Xiao had already heard Elder Xuan tell her about the Dark Gold Terror Claw, an external soul bone.
Upon hearing the mention of absorbing this soul bone, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with excitement.
"Class monitor, how about I repay you with my body?" Xiao Xiao looked at Huo Yuhao with her big, watery eyes.
"Sure, I always welcome anyone who asks."
Having known Xiao Xiao for so long, Huo Yuhao naturally knew what Xiao Xiao was like when she was serious and what she was like when she was joking. Knowing that Xiao Xiao was just saying it casually, he naturally cooperated.
And even if it were true, I wouldn't be at a disadvantage, right?
Unlike Huo Yuhao, who still had time to tease Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong immediately bristled upon hearing Xiao Xiao's words and retorted:
"No!"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "So fickle, then I don't want him."
"but……"
Xiao Xiao didn't react at all to Huo Yuhao's agreement. Instead, she looked at Wang Dong strangely: "Why are you reacting so strongly? Something's not right, not at all!"
Xiao Xiao could tell that Huo Yuhao was teasing her. After all, she had seen Huo Yuhao serious before, but Wang Dong's anxious look was quite suspicious.
"You guys aren't really messing around with gadgets, are you?"
Xiao Xiao knew she couldn't continue joking with Huo Yuhao, so she started teasing Wang Dong to prevent the conversation from veerging in a direction that could easily lead to misunderstandings.
