Of course, Huo Yuhao remained as cautious as ever.

Even after confirming his target for this hunt, he still did not charge into the Star Dou Great Forest alone to seek death.

Instead, he went straight to a nearby city and hired a professional team that hunted soul beasts.

He did not try to save a little money by hiring soul masters from some unregulated place.

Because Huo Yuhao knew better than anyone that hiring these powerful soul masters to accompany him into the Star Dou Great Forest was equivalent to placing his life and possessions entirely in their hands.

If they wished, they could take his life at any moment, and he most likely would not be able to defeat them.

Therefore, although official channels cost more, they were safer.

Moreover, when choosing a Mercenary Group, Huo Yuhao made repeated inquiries. Only after confirming that they had a decent reputation did he hire them.

"Hello, little brother. My name is Hong Ling, and I'm the captain of this team. Can you tell me your name?"

The Mercenary Group's captain was a middle-aged woman with a fiery figure. After Huo Yuhao hired them, she greeted him with a broad smile.

"Hello, big sister. My name is Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao naturally responded with a smile.

The group soon set off.

While chatting along the way, they also asked about Huo Yuhao's family situation. In their eyes, this was truly strange. Huo Yuhao was so young, so why had he come alone to hire people to hunt soul beasts? Thus, everyone was rather curious about his circumstances.

"Me? I'm from a single-parent family. My mother and I have depended on each other all these years."

"But a few years ago, my mother contracted a strange illness. Her body became extremely weak, and she has been bedridden ever since, so she cannot travel far."

"Our family is poor and cannot afford treatment, so I resolved to cultivate diligently and become an outstanding soul master in the future. Only then can I earn money to treat my mother."

Huo Yuhao did not know why they were asking about his identity, but he had actually prepared this answer long ago.

He had always been cautious. Although he had hired this Mercenary Group through legitimate channels, he still did not dare lower his guard in the slightest. That was why he had deliberately prepared this answer.

First, he wanted to tell them that he was poor. There was no benefit in killing or robbing him.

Second, he wanted them to pity him. His background was already so miserable that even if they truly harbored the slightest thought of harming him, they might very well abandon it after hearing his story.

Thus, all of this was part of Huo Yuhao's calculations.

"So that's how it is. I never expected someone so young to have such a difficult life."

Sure enough, after Huo Yuhao finished speaking, their expressions became noticeably more sympathetic when they looked at him. Hong Ling, the captain of the Mercenary Group in particular, seemed on the verge of overflowing with maternal affection and could not help hugging Huo Yuhao.

But soon, another member of the Mercenary Group asked doubtfully, "But if your family's circumstances are already so difficult, why did you come to us? Although we can't do anything about it, we have to admit that we really are more expensive than ordinary Mercenary Groups."

Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly. "I'm not afraid of you all laughing at me, but I'm afraid of dying."

"My mother has been bedridden for a long time and needs me to care for her, so I absolutely cannot die. But I heard that when hiring Mercenary Groups, there is a high chance of being robbed or even having your corpse abandoned in the wilderness. So I could only choose people as reliable as you."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao looked at them cautiously again and put on a performance. "Uncles and aunties, you aren't bad people, are you?"

The moment they saw this, their noses stung. What they saw was an incredibly sensible child, and each of them was deeply moved. Hong Ling, the captain, smiled at Huo Yuhao and said:

"Silly child, of course we aren't bad people. For this mission, we'll definitely do everything we can to keep you safe. Don't worry."

Within the Plane Crack, the soul masters were completely dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.

Wang Dong'er: "Yuhao, so you're this good at acting?"

Huo Yuhao: "That wasn't me—no, that was also me, but the me from the Parallel World. Anyway, I can't act, but he seems to be very good at it."

Wang Qiu'er: "A man's mouth is a lying ghost!"

Jing Hongchen: "Still, it must be said that Huo Yuhao from the Parallel World is indeed much smarter. His vigilance in particular is simply too high."

"He absolutely would not trust others easily. With that kind of personality, I'd say it would be nearly impossible for anyone to deceive him."

Kong Deming: "All I can say is that he's truly monstrous. He's far too calculating. Those mercenaries were completely played by him. This kid is terrifying."

"."

Everyone could not help voicing their feelings in the Chat Room. Clearly, they were all extremely shocked by Parallel Huo Yuhao's earlier actions.

Of course, Tang San remained silent throughout all of this.

Because the more he watched Huo Yuhao of the Parallel World, the more troublesome he found this kid.

He thought about it for a long time, yet still could not figure out how exactly he was supposed to tame this kid.

In the scene.

After traveling for some time, Huo Yuhao's group finally entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

After searching for a while, they finally found the target of this trip: a Chameleon Beast.

But the problem was that this Chameleon Beast's cultivation was only around several decades, which did not meet Huo Yuhao's needs.

The soul master team did not pay much attention to this and planned to kill it casually before taking Huo Yuhao to search for other soul beasts.

But at that moment, Huo Yuhao stopped them.

"Since it is of no use to us, why must we exterminate it?"

"Uncles and aunties, how about sparing its life?"

Huo Yuhao expressed his thoughts to the group.

The members of the Mercenary Group had gotten along very well with Huo Yuhao along the way and thought highly of him, so they readily agreed to his request.

Within the Plane Crack,

Wang Qiu'er was the first to voice her opinion after seeing his actions. "Parallel World Yuhao did very well in this regard. He does not kill innocents indiscriminately. I admire him."

Di Tian: "This human is not bad."

Gu Yuena: "Indeed. Although he kills decisively, he does not slaughter innocents indiscriminately. If other humans could all learn from him, then naturally, far fewer innocent soul beasts would die."
