Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030

After confirming the plan, the group didn’t start immediately but observed the nearby terrain and formulated various strategies, because once they encountered a tier-five enemy, they would definitely lack the ability to fight or the chance to flee.

So they had to set a plan from the start and keep themselves hidden.

After observing the nearby situation, Du You and the two sisters started to fight. "There are quite a few animals in this canyon, which makes it a good breeding ground. Next, we’ll leave some corpses here, just piling them up in this place will do."

While speaking, they had already started hunting down some creatures stealthily. Worried about causing too much commotion, they didn’t even touch creatures of tier four or higher.

Once enough corpses had accumulated, Du You waved his hand and threw out a Putrid Insect Mist, then he and the sisters quickly moved away from that place. They stopped at a safe spot they had scouted earlier.

Then, Lin Yucha activated her invisibility cloak, hiding the three of them. As for the Photon Elf’s optical invisibility, Du You didn’t want to use it, because it had many weaknesses and could easily give them away in front of a tier-five master. Latest content publıshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

As time passed, the number of Dark Carrion Beetles gradually increased. They devoured the corpses and began entering the valley to consume other creatures. Du You could feel that although the skill level of the beetles had not increased, their strength had slightly improved with his own power increase.

An individual beetle’s strength increase wasn’t much, but it was different when the numbers were large. Tier-four and above individuals weren’t afraid of these Dark Carrion Beetles, as they could easily block them with their own power.

Unless it was a Tian Gang Martial Artist, who specializes in burst strength, most Professionals could fight while holding off the Dark Carrion Beetles. Of course, if there were too many, or if the enemy chose to attack the beetles, then it wasn’t impossible to exhaust a tier-five to death.

Of course, that possibility was slim, and Du You held only a faint hope, not expecting too much.

As time went on, a large number of beetles gradually took shape. Finally, when they reached their peak, the beetles flew towards the city, covering the sky. Shadow Demons weren’t adept at creating defensive structures, so there were no energy barriers on city walls. The beetles were unstoppable, as they could enter directly from above.

"Look, why has the sky suddenly darkened, is it going to rain?"

"No, something doesn’t seem right, the aura of the dark element is rising, report it quickly."

They didn’t sound the alarm because they couldn’t tell if it was an enemy attack, so they could only report. But before they could report, the Dark Beetles had already flown over. The overwhelming scene terrified countless people.

"Ah, what kind of devil is this, die, get away, get away."

The Beetles bit anyone they encountered, and many people were struck on the spot, bitten through the skin, and the creatures entered their bodies. Not long after, one by one, soldiers and civilians inside the city died, becoming a breeding nest for the beetles.

There was not a single ripple on Du You’s face. Although many innocent people had died, just as Du You thought, since these people were in the city and got caught in his attack, it wasn’t his fault. Knowing there was a war and yet not hiding, what was the use of that? If he had to worry about these things, he might as well not bother with power advancement.

As screams continued to rise, more and more people in the city were devoured by the Dark Beetles in the air, their number increasing. Feeling the dark aura growing stronger, Du You’s gaze wavered slightly.

Could it be that there really was no tier-five presence? If that were the case, he would have suffered a great loss.

Because tier-four Shadow Demons could easily escape from the Dark Beetles with their own power. Without tier-five Shadow Demons, although he could destroy the place, it would be difficult for him to keep many of the tier-four Shadow Demons.

This meant his benefits would be greatly diminished. It might seem like a bigger blow to the enemy, but he was not here to participate in the war; these Professionals were all here to take advantage of the situation.

Just as Du You was pondering whether to make a move, the situation suddenly changed.

Atop a high tower in the central city, a faint glow of light suddenly spread. This light was white, full of rich luminous power. At first, it seemed like a candle in the wind, but soon the light grew stronger.

All of a sudden, the radiance burst forth, covering all areas of the city as well as a vast surrounding region.

The beetles that Du You had cultivated were instantly cleared away, completely disappearing.

"I didn’t expect such a technique." Since learning Putrid Insect Mist, this was the first time Du You’s skill had been countered so directly, especially after forming an overwhelming swarm of beetles.

Normally, Shadow Demons, not skilled in large-scale purification abilities, would struggle to counter this skill even at tier six. What was that purification ability just now? Was it used by a Shadow Demon, or was it some other method? Or perhaps, there might be a Professional inside, since it wouldn’t be surprising to have one in such a large city.

But no matter what, for the first time, Du You recognized a flaw in his skill, the individual strength of the beetles was too weak.

"Our previous location has been discovered, we should be cautious, do not move, and don’t stare at them either."

Suddenly, a tier-five master flew over, heading towards the area where the beetles had swarmed. Du You quickly warned the two sisters. Directly gazing at a tier-five Shadow Demon could easily make them detectable.

The three of them lay carefully on the ground, using the invisibility cloak to hide their presence, daring not make any sudden movements. At this moment, even their breathing slowed down a lot, fearing that any noise might draw the enemy’s attention.

This time, three tier-five masters were deployed at once, with one unquestionably a veteran expert. If they were discovered, they would have nowhere to bury themselves.

It wasn’t long before the group found the origin of the beetles. The masters discussed something in the air, then released various large-scale abilities in all directions. Golden light flickered, and a vast area around was destroyed.

Moreover, the three attacked many places suitable for hiding; many of those were spots Du You and the sisters had previously considered. It was fortunate they had been cautious earlier; otherwise, they might have been bombed by now.

After attacking the forest for a while, the three finally stopped. "Damn it, they must have run away, let’s go back."
