Chapter 38 The protein in the giant worm is several times that of beef.
After eating grilled fish, Huo Yuhao had fully recovered from his fatigue. He marked the location of the stream on the map, thinking he might be able to use it on his way back.
Huo Yuhao unconsciously stroked the ring on his right index finger, his eyes filled with reminiscence, and he muttered to himself, "We'll be able to meet soon, won't we?"
Not long after they started walking, a wooden sign by the roadside caught Huo Yuhao's attention.
"Fifty miles ahead, we will enter the Star Dou Great Forest. There are soul beasts there. Be careful," Yu Hao whispered the contents of the wooden sign.
"I knew I hadn't gone the wrong way. I'm finally about to reach my destination." At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. He touched the White Tiger Dagger strapped to his waist, suppressed his unease, and strode forward with firm steps.
As he continued forward, after walking for an unknown amount of time, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his mind. Huo Yuhao felt a slight stinging sensation in his eyes and subconsciously channeled his soul power into his spiritual eyes, capturing a rapidly moving black shadow.
Huo Yuhao saw through his martial soul that it was a baboon, and he also saw the baboon's sharp claws. He quickly dodged the baboon's attack.
Having missed its first attack, the baboon let out a low roar at Huo Yuhao, pushed off the ground with its powerful hind legs, and pounced on Huo Yuhao again.
Having barely dodged the first attack, Huo Yuhao was unable to avoid the baboon's second attack and was violently knocked away.
After all, Huo Yuhao had never faced a soul beast before and was severely lacking in experience.
Just as the wind baboon grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders, a white light flashed past beneath it. The wind baboon's body stiffened, and it was flung away in the opposite direction, just like Huo Yuhao. It then rolled on the ground and lay motionless.
After Huo Yuhao was knocked away by the baboon, his body slid down a tree trunk not far away. He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and the intense pain temporarily rendered him unable to move.
His physical condition is still too poor.
Huo Yuhao, who quickly regained his mobility, stared blankly at the fallen wind baboon and the soul ring floating on its body. He trembled slightly, and the intense pain in his body was reduced by excitement.
Huo Yuhao wanted to check on the baboon's condition, but as soon as he tried to stand up, his whole body felt weak, and the pain in his shoulder made him groan in pain when he exerted himself. If Ye Nanxiao hadn't helped him temper his body, Huo Yuhao would probably have fainted from just one impact from the baboon.
Looking at the spirit ring before him, Huo Yuhao, filled with confusion, struggled to sit up, panting heavily. Suddenly, without warning, a voice rang in his mind.
"Finally, I've encountered a human with spiritual attributes. It's a pity I can't cry, otherwise I would definitely be in tears!"
Huo Yuhao was startled. He had no idea why a voice would suddenly appear in his mind. His left hand instinctively grabbed the ring on his right hand. Suddenly, the ground in front of him began to shake and a crack gradually appeared.
Visible wisps of cold air seeped out from the crack, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, which made Huo Yuhao shiver involuntarily.
Soon the crack stopped widening, and a golden-white object slowly revealed itself.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's round head looked plump and had a diameter of more than a meter. It slowly crawled out, and its body was more than seven meters long.
Looking at the enormous body of the soul beast before him, Huo Yuhao's face showed a look of despair. Such a huge body, and the ability to change temperature, this must be at least a hundred-year-old soul beast! It's over, everything is over.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The voice from before rang in Huo Yuhao's mind once again. The giant ice silkworm nodded to him, its huge head lowered, and it stopped a meter away from Huo Yuhao. A faint fragrance even emanated from its body.
After Huo Yuhao calmed down a bit, Tianmeng said, "Brother is a unique existence on this continent, a million-year-old soul beast!"
Upon hearing Tianmeng claim to be a million-year-old soul beast, Huo Yuhao, who had just calmed down a bit, was stunned. After a long while, he asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
"I want to become your spirit ring!" Tianmeng said, shaking her chubby body.
"?" Huo Yuhao stared dumbfounded at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in front of him, momentarily losing the ability to think.
Before Huo Yuhao could react, Tianmeng glanced warily a few times towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, then turned back to Huo Yuhao and said, "Brother is about to start. Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Before Huo Yuhao could react, Tianmeng released her aura and enveloped him. After Huo Yuhao lost consciousness, she pressed her chubby forehead against his, and the ten golden rings on her body seemed to come alive and pulsate. Her true form also turned into a white halo and drilled into Huo Yuhao's body.
Just as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was undergoing its fusion, two pairs of eyes were watching this moment, which could be described as the beginning of a destiny in the history of the continent.
"Xue'er, I told you that timing is everything." A slightly thin figure stood on a large tree not far from Huo Yuhao, arms crossed, leaning against the trunk as he looked at Tianmeng and Huo Yuhao. His white robe made his handsome face even more alluring.
The Snow Emperor, also dressed in white robes, floated slowly beside Ye Nanxiao.
"It's clearly you who's delaying!" Xue Di rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao and looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, saying, "That dead bug is still clinging to its idea."
"You came to me in the same way, didn't you? I thought it was because I was too handsome back then," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
"Dream on." The Snow Empress tapped Ye Nanxiao's head with her jade-like finger. "Aren't you worried your younger brother won't be able to withstand that dead bug? That's a million-year-old soul beast!"

Ye Nanxiao looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of envy in his eyes and said, "If someone is destined to be great, then the pain that person has to go through is also destined."
Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who were speeding up to catch up with Huo Yuhao, were momentarily stunned when they were enveloped by this mental fluctuation.
The mental impact emitted by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was not very destructive, but it could render all living beings within a hundred miles incapable of thinking for a short period of time, except for Ye Nanxiao, who was being protected by the Snow Emperor.
At this moment, the southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest was eerily quiet.
Just then, the sky, which had been perfectly clear a moment before, suddenly darkened. Thunderous roars echoed high in the sky, and in that instant, the sunlight was completely blocked by darkness. An immense, suffocating pressure descended from the heavens.
A rift was torn open in the space, and a gray stream of air drifted out from it.
As if drawn by a tremendous suction force, it descended from the sky, and in an instant, the gray aura landed on the back of Huo Yuhao's head and quietly seeped in.
"It's finally here." Ye Nanxiao became alert, looking at the gray stream of air. Xue Di looked at the direction of the gray stream of air with vigilance in her eyes, and a ball of cold light gathered in her hand.
"Don't worry." Ye Nanxiao held Xue Di's hand, dispelling the cold aura that Xue Di had gathered.
Xue Di struggled slightly with her small hand, her pretty face flushed, and she turned her head away.
"What dares to try and steal my man?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm roared in fury, its massive mental energy surging forth in an attempt to expel the gray aura from Huo Yuhao's body.
A very blurry figure appeared behind Huo Yuhao, and an old voice rang out with an indescribable majesty.
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world. I never thought that I would still have a trace of my soul left."
Faced with the immense mental power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the blurry, illusory figure seemed completely unaffected, disappearing into the back of Huo Yuhao's head with a "whoosh."
Ye Nanxiao suddenly realized that since Xue Di was now within his spiritual sea, wouldn't Ilex no longer need to sacrifice himself to save Huo Yuhao? What would someone with a fork think of a necromancer becoming a god?
"This is getting interesting," Ye Nanxiao murmured, a hint of anticipation in his eyes as he looked at Electrolux. "This is getting more and more interesting; it's a good hand indeed."
Tianmeng wailed, "They're even trying to steal my man!"
Tianmeng dared not forcibly expel Electrolux. Huo Yuhao was bleeding from all seven orifices. Tianmeng's body became transparent, like liquid enveloping Huo Yuhao, and finally slowly melted into Huo Yuhao's body.
Huo Yuhao's body became as white as jade, and all his wounds healed.
"Well, no matter what, I'm finally free. Those bastards who treated me like food, you've got no chance now." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's triumphant voice gradually faded, and the enormous spiritual power that had previously covered a hundred miles in diameter dissipated at an astonishing speed.
The instant Tianmeng's voice fell, several terrifying auras in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest fluctuated violently at the same time, as if sensing something, but they were destined to return empty-handed.
Sensing a familiar presence approaching, Ye Nanxiao shrugged and said to Xue Di, "We need to go see someone first. Don't worry about this place, someone will come."
Ye Nanxiao made a hand seal with his left hand, transformed into his demon form, and turned to flash into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao had no idea that, unknowingly, he had actually obtained his first spirit ring, and it was truly a unique spirit ring in the history of Douluo Continent, a million-year spirit ring.
The lustrous white gradually faded, and a faint icy blue began to emerge from under Huo Yuhao's skin. It lasted for about ten seconds before fading away, restoring his skin to its original color. His body swayed and he fell against the large tree he had been leaning against.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei, having recovered from their dazed state, quickly arrived at Huo Yuhao's side. Tang Ya carefully helped Huo Yuhao up, while Bei Bei went to the wind baboon to examine it closely, then went to Huo Yuhao's side, her gaze lingering on the white tiger dagger in Huo Yuhao's hand.
Beibei stated her judgment: "It must have been Yuhao who killed the ten-year-old wind baboon with the dagger in his hand. This dagger should be a soul tool."
Tang Ya anxiously examined Huo Yuhao's body and said, "It's all my fault for delaying on the way, which caused a lot of time to be wasted. Regardless of whether Xiao Yuhao is the one Nan Xiao mentioned, I have decided to let him join the Tang Clan."
Seeing Tang Ya's anxiety, Bei Bei's gaze softened even more. What he liked most about Tang Ya was her genuine kindness. He quickly comforted her, "It's alright. Is Brother Yu Hao injured? Judging from where he collapsed, he must have been knocked unconscious by being hit by a tree during the battle with the wind baboons. He should recover after a rest."
Tang Ya rolled her eyes at Bei Bei and said with some dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me so anxious."
In Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
"So your name is Huo Yuhao."
When Huo Yuhao regained consciousness, he found himself naked above a golden ocean, surrounded by white space, with the giant worm from before floating in the air and talking to him.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Huo Yuhao asked in surprise.
"This can be considered your spiritual sea, and it will also be my home from now on. I've expanded it for you," Tianmeng said. At the same time, a small gray ball found a corner in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea and then remained still.
