Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069

Du You chose a difficult path, one marked by many mountains, and that’s why no one else chose this route.

Previously, in his territory, Du You had obtained a Communication Orb that could facilitate a limited range of communications. It wasn’t very convenient, but it had the benefit of being able to communicate across extremely long distances. It was said that in an average world, one could communicate from one end of the world to the other.

After that, any event he encountered on the road could be recorded with a wristband and then selected clips could be sent back via the Communication Orb. The academy would compare these and record merits after verification.

Now, Du You just wanted to find a place where no one else was, to quickly avoid others, so that he could fully utilize his combat strength. The Platform Floating Cloud was very fast, and it didn’t take long before other people were completely out of sight. Below, the primeval forests and grasslands stretched out one after the other, the plants becoming more lush the further one was from human settlements.

All along the way, Du You had already seen many Undead Creatures. There were Zombies as well as Skeletons, of all types. At the same time, there were also many normal creatures around, including Magical Beasts, most of which did not live alone.

To protect themselves, most types of creatures had already started to live in groups.

Even so, Du You often saw Magical Beasts fighting with Undead Creatures, the Undead fearlessly aggressive. The Magical Beasts, however, would fight if they could win, but if not, they would not linger and would turn to flee instead.

"You see, despite the creatures here thoroughly consuming the flesh of their prey and then trying to shatter their bones, to prevent the prey from turning into Undead as much as possible, why are there still so many Undead?"

Lin Yushi asked with some confusion. Du You spread his hands, "I don’t know either. Logically, all animals are aware of the origins and dangers of the Undead and are constantly clearing them. Additionally, humans are now trending toward cremation or purification before burial. In spite of these measures, the presence of so many Undead Creatures is still unexplained and quite strange."

Du You couldn’t figure it out, but if something exists, there must be a reason; there certainly was something he hadn’t discovered yet.

As they flew along their way, the two sisters continuously sniped Undead Creatures from the air. Du You also noticed the sisters were particularly effective against Undead Creatures. Sometimes, even if they didn’t hit the Undead’s head, the Demon Extermination Power would still seep into the Undead Creature’s body and utterly incinerate the fire of its soul.

With the continuous hunting of Undead Creatures, the sisters felt their special skill, which advanced through the hunting of Evil Creatures, starting to improve and show signs of advancing. The special skill they had obtained last time advanced by relying on hunting Evil Creatures.

A day later, Du You started to summon without restraint. The Purple Lightning Golden Hawk soared into the sky, and thunder flashed amidst the clouds. The Cursed Crow also released its curses simultaneously. Although they were less effective against the Undead, it was not completely without effect.

The Black Jade Griffin King continually stirred up fierce winds, seeking out the hidden Undead in the forest and tearing them to shreds. The Dark Dragon was much more imperious, with one Dragon Breath clearing out swathes of Undead.

They had not yet encountered any high-tier Undead Creatures on the road, so none stood a chance against them.

At the same time, Du You placed the Bubble on the Platform Floating Cloud. This creature, afraid of death and not fond of combat, had its eyes flash red at the sight of so many Undead. From afar, it continuously released Light Attribute magic spells, clearing them out.

As for the other Summoned Creatures, Du You didn’t summon them for the time being, as these Summoned Beasts couldn’t fly and didn’t have the means for wide-ranging or long-range attacks. Du You was also worried that these Summoned Creatures might get lost.

Several days later, the travelers had already seen many high-tier Undead Creatures, even up to tier four. Du You left these Undead Creatures to the sisters to handle. The skills of both benefited greatly from hunting each one. What a pity that the items dropped by these Undead were underwhelming.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Crystal Coins were decent, Du You would have doubted whether these creatures were truly tier four.

"Master, look ahead! Lots of Undead Creatures are gathered together, attacking something," said the Bubble.

"Could there possibly be a human settlement here?" Du You guessed darkly. Sometimes accidental damage occurs to settlement crystals, and some settlements don’t have them at all. If discovered by Undead Creatures, it would be a disaster.

"Let’s go and prioritize saving the people," said Lin Yucha, immediately controlling the Platform Floating Cloud to fly over. As they got closer, Du You saw that indeed, there was a group of people below. However, these people wore clothes made from leaves or from other fibers.

Most of the weapons in their hands were also made of wood, and some commanded Magical Beasts to ward off attacks, while others kept casting magic spells from behind. These spells were actually of the Nature type, using plants for control.

They had a certain restraining capacity against Undead Creatures, but not as evident as those of the Light Attribute. However, Nature-type magic spells had strong crowd control capabilities and also possessed powerful healing and energy restoration abilities. That’s why, despite so many Undead besieging them, these people were still able to hold out until now.

"Hey, do you need help?" Du You called down to them; after all, one cannot merely help without caution.

"Friends, we thank you for your help. We, the Nature’s Children, will remember your kindness," they replied.

Nature’s Children, what were they? There was no mention of them in the academy, so Du You quickly opened the recorder to document this battle. Of course, it would need editing later on, at least to hide his Summoned Creatures from the recording.

With a wave of his hand, Du You’s Summoned Creatures began to materialize on the ground. Giant Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs landed heavily, smashing many of the Undead to pieces. The Undead Creatures didn’t understand why this member of their kind was attacking them, but it didn’t prevent them from recognizing it as an enemy.

Unfortunately, their attacks were useless against the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs.

Under the cover of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, the other beasts struck out, resolving the Undead threat.

It was just that Du You found the Double-headed Blood Demon Dog didn’t seem to be performing very well. Unable to absorb life force or magic power from these low-level Undead, the Double-headed Blood Demon Dog could only charge forward and attack with teeth and claws.

Its attack power was fine, but the Double-headed Blood Demon Dog dared not use its active attack abilities, as the Blood-burning Arrow required burning its own life force. Without replenishment here, using this move would be tantamount to seeking death.

Suddenly, a giant scorpion made of sand stood up, along with the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, becoming two large damage-absorbing shields.
