Reborn as Huo Yuhao, but also in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 33 Leaving the Monster Mountain Range

"Damn it! Damn it!" After escaping from the formation, Xie Hua flew non-stop towards the Chuyun Empire. Even though the weakness caused by the loss of his battle qi was becoming increasingly intense, he did not choose to stop and rest.

Perhaps suffering from paranoia, whenever Scorpion Hua wanted to stop and rest, a great sense of panic would overwhelm him, prompting him to continue flying.

"When I get back, I will definitely..."

Cursing inwardly, Xie Hua was thinking about how to get revenge when suddenly, a pale white flame pierced through his heart.

"How—is this possible!" Filled with fear of death and deep confusion, Scorpion Flower's body froze in mid-air, not even having time to look down before turning to ashes. Even in death, he didn't understand which step he had taken wrong.

"You old rascal, you can really run!"

The pale white flames swirled around Scorpion Flower's storage ring and vanished without a trace in mid-air.

……

On Huo Yuhao's side, Gu He deliberately slowed down the flight speed to take care of Huo Yuhao. He had thought that Huo Yuhao, with his peculiar metal wings, would need to rest and recover his battle qi after flying for a while. However, they had been flying for more than half an hour, and Huo Yuhao's breathing remained steady.

"Yuhao, what's wrong with you...?"

"You mean this flying artifact? It was also obtained from the ruins?"

Another relic, I don't even want to find another reason! Gu He looked at the pair of spotless, gleaming metal wings, then at the pile of scrap metal in his storage ring, and remained silent.

"By the way, Brother Guhe, how did you end up stuck in that tunnel? What's that tunnel for?" Xiao Yan asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable from being lifted up. He adjusted his center of gravity and then asked.

"That was the entrance to an ancient ruin. Perhaps I made too much noise when I opened it, and those guys found out." Gu He recalled the frustrating experience of being blocked at the exit, and then thought about how Xie Hua had managed to escape in the end. He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

"So, what did you find in the ruins, brother?"

Gu He glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "You all saw that puppet, as well as some medicine prescriptions and a bunch of damaged weapons."

"What kinds of prescriptions are available?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's somewhat curious gaze, Gu He smiled and said, "If you want these prescriptions, come to Yunlan Sect and learn from me after you become a third-grade alchemist."

Guhe didn't mention that the prescriptions he found were all incomplete. After sharing his experience, he asked the others, "What are you all doing back here?"

"Actually, we plan to find some more medicinal herbs before going back."

"What kind of medicinal herbs do you need?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Guhe, but we can find the medicinal herbs ourselves when we get back," Huo Yuhao declined.

"No way! Your disguise technique might not fool the enemy every time." Gu He was really worried that these kids would run back to the core area of ​​the Monster Mountain Range again, so he directly rejected Huo Yuhao's intention to stop on the outskirts. "This time, I'll watch you leave the Monster Mountain Range."

"Huh? No way? Hey bro, you're squeezing my armpit!"

Time passed as they talked, and at dusk, they flew out of the Monster Mountain Range and stopped on the edge of a large city.

"This is Blackrock City. You can ride flying magical beasts home from here," Gu He explained briefly, then took out an empty storage ring and stuffed all the medicinal herbs he was carrying into it. He handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"These medicinal herbs are enough for you. Even if you are short of a few, you can purchase them from the Blackrock City Alchemist Association."

"Furukawa-senpai..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guhe spread his battle qi wings and flew away from the place without using battle fire.

"Yuhao!" Xiao Yan took out the Fire Control Cauldron belonging to the cave owner from his storage ring and quickly threw it to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao grabbed one leg of the medicine cauldron, exerted force with his right hand, and used his Qi control technique to assist in throwing the medicine cauldron towards Gu He.

"Brother Guhe, this medicine cauldron is for you!"

The medicine cauldron was thrown into the air, its speed slowed down, and just as it was about to fall, Gu He's figure flashed back and caught the medicine cauldron.

"You bunch of rascals, what if you break something?"

"Furukawa-senpai (elder brother), until we meet again!"

"Alright, I'll accept this medicine cauldron. Until we meet again!"

……

"By the way, Yuhao, when did you learn formations? Did you learn them in your past life?" After Gu He left, Xiao Yan couldn't contain his curiosity and immediately asked Huo Yuhao about the formation that could even affect Dou Huang level experts.

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded. "I saw it from a teacher in my previous life. It's called Magic Space. It can generate a suction force to restrict enemies within the formation. If the enemy tries to resist with energy, it will absorb the energy along with them."

"So, those two guys tried to use their battle qi to break free of the formation but ended up falling into a trap?" Yao Chen, who had returned at some point, was also curious about this.

Huo Yuhao continued to explain, "That's right. If they land on the ground, they can leave the formation using only their physical strength."

"This formation was originally drawn using elemental power, but I modified it. I used six fourth-tier magic cores, so the suction force can only bind the fighting spirit."

"Besides absorbing battle qi, does it have any other functions?" Xiao Yan pressed.

"The original formation could enhance the elemental abilities of the person who set it up, but the modified one only has suction power."

"Then you might as well not change it at all," Xiao Yan retorted.

"Without changes, it won't have any practical combat capability."

"By the way, Xiao Yan, weren't you also from another world?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yan. "What did you learn in your past life? I've never seen you use it."

"Didn't I make sunglasses before?"

"this one?"

"No, I can still..." Xiao Yan recalled his twenty years of life in his previous life and realized that his completely wasted student days had not brought him any help in terms of knowledge. "I, I was not from the extraordinary world in my previous life."

"oh--"

"So, Little Yanzi, you weren't a good student in your past life!" Yao Chen stretched out his hands, revealing a smug expression. "No wonder you haven't been able to refine a single pill after studying for so long. It seems your master needs to devise a more effective method, hehehe!"

"It's all because of you, you strange old man! You haven't given me a single prescription, and you've already told me to create my own!"

"Come, come, Yuhao, Little Fairy Doctor, let's ignore this naughty student. Your teacher has a fragment of a formation manual here..."

"Another incomplete piece? Are you a junk collector, you weird old man?!"

After a few laughs and jokes, Yao Chen said seriously, "Let's discuss the upcoming itinerary."

"Master, now that we've crossed the Monster Mountain Range, let's head to the Tagor Desert next," Xiao Yan said, picking up the conversation. "Teacher, you mentioned discovering the aura of a different kind of fire in the desert. We can cultivate in the desert while searching for that fire, and we can also visit my eldest and second brothers."

"I'm afraid there won't be enough time!" Huo Yuhao said. "There are only two months left until the end of the year. Father said that we should go back to participate in the Canaan Academy entrance examination next spring."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, Xian'er has been out with us for quite some time now, so it's time to go back to Qingshan Town and let her know she's safe."

"We must rush back immediately after taking a look at Stone Desert City; there's no time to cultivate and search for a different kind of fire in the Tagor Desert."

"And there are also Yuhao's pills!" Little Fairy Doctor reminded.

"You can refine the pills whenever you want," Huo Yuhao replied.

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later," Yao Chen said. "I do have a way to save time."

"What method?" the three asked.

"Ride a flying magical beast."
