Chapter 98: Fishing for people
"I mean, why are you preparing all this stuff? Didn't the inspection team already receive equipment?"
"Oh, I'll put it on right away." Huo Yuhao took out a full set of inner armor from the inspection team's ring, thought for a moment, and used his soul tool to take off the self-made metal vest he had just put on. He then walked to the grass next to him and put on the close-fitting inner armor.
Besides the inner armor, which provides defense, the ring only contained masks and tight-fitting clothes to conceal their identities. It's unclear why a team responsible for eliminating evil spirit masters would prepare such things.
No wonder the mortality rate is so high. How is this any different from not wearing a bulletproof vest when carrying out dangerous missions in my previous life?
Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao, who was wearing an inner armor and a metal vest, with a hint of helplessness: "We're still a ways off from becoming evil soul masters. Is it really necessary to prepare all this now?"
"Who knows what tricks the evil spirit master has up his sleeve? If we suddenly run into him, there won't be time for us to put on these things." Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Yan as if he were an idiot.
"This..." Wang Yan thought about it and realized that it made sense. Besides, the inner armor didn't really affect movement, so wearing it in advance wouldn't be a problem and could even be a precaution.
"And what about this soul tool?" Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao's belt. If he wasn't mistaken, this was also a soul tool.
"You mean this? It's just a regular soul-guiding shield."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao channeled his soul power, and a thin shield appeared around him.
"Aren't we about to fight the evil spirit masters? Having a shield can help prevent some unexpected situations."
"With us here, what trouble can a mere evil spirit master cause?" Ma Xiaotao said with dissatisfaction.
Huo Yuhao's actions were clearly an insult to them. With them around, would they allow Huo Yuhao and his fellow students to be in danger? Not to mention, Elder Xuan was also secretly waiting to intervene and ensure the safety of the students at any time.
"This is just in case. As a control-type soul master, I don't have many defensive means, not to mention my cultivation level is so low. If I were to be affected by the aftershocks, I might have to recuperate for a long time. But with a defensive soul tool, it's different. Even without defensive soul skills, this soul tool can provide me with considerable safety."
"Do you have any extra soul-guided shields?" Ling Luochen, who had been silent in the team, finally spoke up.
"Yes, I've stockpiled some of these things, especially the level 5 soul guide shield. That's a real treasure. Even if a Soul Douluo comes, they won't be able to hurt me for three seconds. If my cultivation level weren't too high enough to activate it, I would have equipped myself with it long ago."
"Give me both the Soul Guidance Shield and the Invincible Shield. How much? I'll transfer the money to you when I get back to the academy."
"No way, Ling Luochen?" Ma Xiaotao asked in surprise, "You actually use a soul tool?"
"Mind your own business!" Ling Luochen rolled her eyes at Ma Xiaotao. "Can't I prepare some defensive measures for myself since I don't have many defensive methods?"
"Senior Sister Ling, you're being too polite. We're teammates, so consider this a gift from me," Huo Yuhao said warmly.
It's definitely not because I don't know the value of these soul tools!
"Hey! What are you doing!" Huo Yuhao turned around and glared at Wang Dong.
This guy, even dressed as a man, is acting like a little girl, why does he like pinching people's waists like that?
Wang Dong snorted coldly, turned her head away, and let Huo Yuhao guess why she was in a bad mood.
"Are there any extras? If so, I'll take one too."
The speaker was Gongyang Mo. As a support-type Soul Master, Gongyang Mo's body was inherently fragile, making him an easy target for focused attacks. Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's introduction, Gongyang Mo, who knew nothing about Soul Tools, was immediately intrigued.
"I want one too." Seeing Gongyang Mo speak, Xixi, who had been hesitant, stepped forward.
Huo Yuhao took out two sets of two-piece sets from his storage soul tool and tossed them to the two men.
"Thank you!"
Huo Yuhao looked up at the others, seemingly asking for their opinions.
As Soul Emperors, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng naturally disdained such external things. When they saw Huo Yuhao looking over, they immediately turned their heads away.
As a powerful offensive Soul King, Chen Zifeng had more faith in his own strength. Yao Haoxuan, who was initially somewhat tempted, saw that none of the strongest members of the team wanted the item, so he suppressed his desire to get it for free and silently turned his head away.
Following the principle of equality, Huo Yuhao then glanced at Bei Bei and the others.
Because of the Tang Sect incident, Bei Bei was not opposed to soul tools and still asked for a soul shield (the invincible shield cannot be used until you become a Soul King).
Xiao Xiao had a good impression of Huo Yuhao and never objected to his arrangements. She accepted his kindness, and Huo Yuhao then tossed his belt to Xiao Xiao.
Wang Dong's face darkened at the sight.
Xiao Xiao waved her hands repeatedly, "How can this be? Class monitor, what are you going to do? I can't accept this!"
"I also have a soul-guided shield activated by my mental power. My mental power is stronger than my soul power, so you can have the soul-guided shield."
Huo Yuhao showed Xiao Xiao the ring on his hand, and even activated it to make sure she didn't believe him.
"Alright," Xiao Xiao finally accepted the soul tool, smiling sweetly at Huo Yuhao, "Then thank you, Class Monitor!"
Wang Dong... well, let's not talk about him. He's suspected to have an insulatory constitution for soul tools.
Xu Sanshi, on the other hand, did not believe that soul tools could be as useful as his own Xuan Shui Shield. He was also confident that he had a trump card if there was any real danger.
As for Jiang Nannan, soul tools are so expensive, she felt embarrassed to let Huo Yuhao spend money on them, so she declined.
As for He Caitou... ignore him, he has his own.
After distributing the soul tools, the group changed into the inspection team's equipment and continued their pursuit along the footprints.
They eventually traced the footprints to a secluded spot in the shade of the mountain, where they found the trail leading down the hillside.
Wang Yan spoke first: "In that case, the enemy should be down the hillside. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a cave where they're hiding. When we make our move later, we need to confirm their identities first. Once we've confirmed they're the Death Hand, I don't need to tell you what to do. The reserves will stay with me and be responsible for reinforcements. Xiao Tao, the main attack is up to you."
Led by Ma Xiaotao, the inner court disciples maintained a tight formation and quietly slipped out. A moment later, Huo Yuhao and his group, under Wang Yan's command, also advanced towards the location where the evil soul masters were hiding.
"Ugh!" As he approached the cave, despite having mentally prepared himself, Huo Yuhao still felt nauseous and struggled to keep himself from vomiting.
Jiang Nannan was also so frightened that she let out a scream.
As is well known, Huo Yuhao's mental detection can accurately obtain all information within a certain range.
This also means that the mountains of corpses and seas of blood left by the evil soul masters' slaughter were clearly visible in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
This made Huo Yuhao, who lived in a peaceful era and had at most killed some chickens, ducks and fish, feel nauseous.
"Are you alright?" Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao with concern. Although their faces were also somewhat pale, only Huo Yuhao looked ashen.
"It's nothing," Huo Yuhao waved his hand, looking coldly at the cave with his fists clenched.
Evil Soul Master...
