Chapter 27 Shui Binger and Xue Wu (2nd update)
Tianshui City
Huo Yuhao opened the curtain in the carriage and looked at the fine falling snow outside the carriage window. The streets were a bit frosty. The pedestrians on the road were all wearing thick coats and cotton-padded jackets, breathing hotly as they spoke.
This is the largest city within the northern border of the Tiandou Empire, located at the northernmost tip of the empire.
To the north, there is an endless snowfield.
There is an extremely famous gathering place for soul beasts in the north - the Frozen Forest! That is almost the first choice of most northern soul masters for hunting soul rings.
Only by crossing the frozen forest, going deep into the cold winter land and continuing north can we reach the extreme north.
The Far North is an absolutely forbidden area for humans.
Since the threat of the ice and snow soul beasts exists there, the extremely cold environment alone is enough to kill people.
If you encounter a natural disaster such as a snowstorm, it will be an even more devastating blow.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, it is extremely easy to get lost in the snowfield. Because you can't find the way back, you will eventually be buried in the snowfield.
In addition, there are many legends circulating in the North.
……
Tianshui City.
After Huo Yuhao entered Tianshui City, he first went to the largest clothing store in the area to buy winter clothes and large cotton-padded jackets.
He had taken Star Anise Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Tree, and his resistance to cold and frost was extremely high, almost to the point of immunity.
Although he is not afraid of the cold, his thin southern clothes will look very different and eye-catching when he appears in the cold northern region.
In front of the mirror.
Huo Yuhao looked at himself in the mirror, wearing a full-length dark blue down jacket and a snow-white mink fur scarf around his neck. His face was a little childish, and his eyes were dark blue, shining with perseverance.
"Bing'er, what do you think of this piece of mine?" The pretty girl twisted the hem of her aqua blue skirt and spun around in a circle.
"It's very beautiful. Xiao Wu's figure is already perfect." The quiet blue-haired girl smiled and nodded.
Huo Yuhao suddenly looked back and saw two girls standing in front of the mirror not far away.
The quiet blue-haired girl held her elbows with one hand, wearing a light blue dress, and her azure hair fell softly down her head.
"Really?" The pretty girl flashed her eyes happily, looking at herself in front of the mirror, pinching the hem of her skirt and making a few gestures.
"Well, they are very compatible in terms of temperament." Shui Bing'er nodded in approval.
Seemingly noticing the gaze beside her, she glanced back slightly and met Huo Yuhao's dark blue eyes, which were as clear as the stars.
Shui Bing'er was a little stunned.
What a handsome boy.
"Bing'er, Bing'er?" Xue Wu turned around, took Shui Bing'er's arm and shook it slightly, followed her gaze and looked up, and saw Huo Yuhao opposite.
"Ah, what a handsome young man." Xue Wu's tone revealed some surprise.
"Little brother, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" Xue Wu pulled Shui Bing'er forward, bending slightly to look at Huo Yuhao, who was half a head shorter.
"Xiao Wu..." Shui Bing'er held her hand, feeling that her question was a bit too presumptuous.
"Sorry, my friend is talking..." Shui Bing'er explained apologetically.
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, "Are the two sisters soul masters?"
"Well, little brother, you are also a soul master, right?" Shui Binger nodded.
She felt the fluctuation of soul power from this young man.
"Well, I just arrived in Tianshui City and I'm not very familiar with this place. Do you two sisters know where I can buy a more detailed map of the northern border here?" Huo Yuhao asked sincerely.
"Map of the North?" Xue Wu raised her finger to her lips, her eyes rolled up, looking like she was thinking.
"Do we need to cover the frozen forest?" Shui Bing'er asked.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh to himself, this intuition was really sharp.
"It would be best if there is one."
"The Frozen Forest? Do you mean you are going there to hunt for soul rings?" Xue Wu bent over and came closer, her eyes twitching.
Huo Yuhao took half a step back and shook his head slightly.
"That place is too dangerous and I just want to avoid that area."
"Sisters, do you happen to be going out too?" Huo Yuhao asked almost jokingly.
"Going out? We currently have no need to hunt for soul rings, so what are we going to do?" Xue Wu asked doubtfully.
"It's okay." Huo Yuhao waved his hand quickly.
It would be fine if he didn't go out. He had already encountered things like forming a team for hunting soul rings once when he was in the Sunset Forest.
He just happened to meet a local who spoke to him and asked about the road conditions.
……
on the street.
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu held each other's arms and took Huo Yuhao to buy a map.
"Little brother, where are you from? Do you have anything to do in Tianshui City?" Xue Wu asked curiously.
"Looking for relatives." Huo Yuhao said.
He is no longer the Huo Yuhao who couldn't help but blush whenever he made a fuss.
"Oh~ no wonder we need a map." Xuewu suddenly realized.
Shui Bing'er squeezed her palm slightly to signal her to speak less.
Inquiring into other people's details like this will make people unhappy.
"Ah, Bing'er, why are you pinching me?" Xue Wu asked in pain.
Huo Yuhao and Shui Bing'er were speechless.
How did you grow up?
"Are the two sisters students of the academy?" Huo Yuhao took the initiative to bring the topic to them, so as not to dig deeper into himself.
He found that the young lady known as "Bing'er" was very perceptive and shrewd in dealing with people.
"Yes, we are from Tianshui Academy, which is the best soul master academy in the north and one of the five major elemental academies in the empire. Have you heard of it, little brother?" Xue Wu smiled and told everything.
Shui Bing'er was completely defeated and a little helpless.
This girl Xuewu, ugh.
Huo Yuhao is just the opposite.
Girls who don't ask for help are really lovable.
Of course, this is only limited to the opponent, never a teammate. If he were a teammate, he would probably be in the same state as Bing'er next to him.
When it comes to Five Elements Academy, he still knows something about it.
They were five academies within the Tiandou Empire that majored in single-element martial arts. They were quite powerful and were among the top schools. They were basically supported by powerful soul master families.
For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family is behind Thunder Academy.
"It's a pity that Tianshui Academy only recruits female students. Otherwise, I would have recommended you to join us." Xue Wu said with a little regret in his tone.
Huo Yuhao: No need to, thank you.
Shui Bing'er pulled Xue Wu and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, Xuewu restrained herself.
Huo Yuhao himself was not interested in their affairs, he just wanted to change the topic.
Under the leadership of Shui Binger and Xue Wu, Huo Yuhao successfully purchased several detailed maps.
These maps not only cover several specific routes to the frozen forest, but also include the fringes of the Far North.
Huo Yuhao thanked the two girls, turned around and disappeared into the sea of people.
Xue Wu waved goodbye to him and watched his back disappear into the sea of people.
Shui Binger pulled her.
"Xue girl, you must be careful outside in the future and not reveal too much information about yourself." Shui Bing'er warned.
"But I don't think he looks like a bad guy. He feels like the brother next door." Xue Wu pouted and defended.
"Don't just take everything at face value." Shui Bing'er said.
"My intuition has always been quite accurate." Xue Wu said, "Does Bing'er think he is a bad person?"
Shui Bing'er was completely speechless now.
