Chapter 239.1. I Trust Him
Thunder continued to rumble through the sky. However, oddly, it wasn’t raining at all.
Huo Yuhao continued to repeat his actions like a machine, despite his body being on the verge of collapse.
Even though he’d suffered less from the martial soul fusion skill, he’d still almost entirely exhausted his soul power when he used everything he had at the end. Furthermore, he’d treated Wang Qiu’er and used his blood as medicine for her; his body was truly about to burn out.
When he felt that Wang Qiu’er’s life power had finally stopped depleting, and was beginning to recover, he finally relaxed. As soon as he did so, an intense wave of fatigue and weakness engulfed his body. Even though this was the Great Star Dou Forest, Huo Yuhao couldn’t be bothered to care anymore. After holding on for so long, he finally collapsed. He was still holding his White Tiger Dagger tightly, his other wrist marred with countless cuts.
Once he passed out, they both maintained weird postures. Huo Yuhao lay flat on the ground, while Wang Qiu’er laid in the tent. However, her head was still resting on his legs, her mouth still stained with some of Huo Yuhao’s blood.
The two of them fell into a deep sleep just like that. Perhaps they were blessed, but no soul beasts attacked them in their weakened states. Not far from them, the soul rings released from the wolf-apes’ corpses slowly started to dissipate as time passed.
An hour later…
“It should’ve come from this direction. I’m very sensitive to sounds. I’m sure I’m right.” Li Yongyue said confidently.
They quickly made their way through the forest. Li Yongyue led the team and waved his Moonblade continuously, carving a path forward for them.
