Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074
As the number of beetles grew and the undead dwindled, the tide gradually turned into us being on the offensive.
"How’s your advancement going, you two? Have you reached the required number?" Du You inquired of the two sisters.
Lin Yucha immediately answered, "We’ve met the advancement requirements, but it will take a day or two." Although the power gathered from killing evil creatures was sufficient, advancement didn’t happen overnight.
"Then just wait, no rush," Du You said, his curiosity piqued. This was the first time he saw advancing to tier four skills without using the Skill Hall. This indicated that there were other ways to advance skills.
While his own combat strength continued to fight, Du You began editing the footage he had just filmed. Most of the footage had to be removed; there was much Du You did not want others to see.
After finishing the editing, Du You sent the remaining part back through the Communication Orb, informing the rear about the Undead Nest. He was uncertain if the academy had discovered this information, but he estimated that he should be the first among the students to upload it.
Together with the data on the Nature Child sent last time, his exploration speed was still very fast.
Looking at his quest panel, he saw that his advancement mission had been completed to the peak of 7 stars, and he was close to meeting the 8-star requirement. It was clear that hunting an Undead Nest was indeed very valuable.
He just wondered if he could find more Undead Nests to push his advancement mission further. Fınd the newest release on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Watching the battle continue, Du You decided to open the orbs. Since he had hunted the nest, the drop rate from tier four undead was pretty good. However, most drops were Crystal Coins, and the occasional piece of equipment was generally of no interest to him and his friends; they could be sent back to the company for processing.
"Huh, world coordinates? Never mind, I’ll keep them for now; they might be useful if I decide to visit this world again."
Du You secured the world coordinates. The world was vast, and the academy couldn’t fully control it in a short period. Especially because this world was unique, it might be impossible for the academy to control to the extent they desired.
Therefore, these world coordinates were valuable. If the world were to be controlled, then the coordinates would lose their value.
At last, Du You opened the orbs from the Mother Nest and that giant ape, revealing a blueprint inside one of them.
Chaotic Burial Ground Blueprint (Tier 4): Allows construction of a Chaotic Burial Ground in one’s territory.
"A good blueprint indeed. If I recall correctly, this building is for constructing Zombie troops, a pity it can only be built on undead-based territories, so it’s of no use to me. But it could be exchanged for some nice things when I get back."
Then Du You spotted another item, a necklace with a skull pendant.
Pendant of the Dead: Reduces the Magic Power consumed by 20% during Undead Summoning, doubles the total number of controllable undead creatures. (Deep Yellow)
"What a great item, this is definitely a top-notch undead equipment. Apart from the other benefits, just the doubled undead control amount alone can nearly double the strength of Summoning-type Undead Mages, they’d be fighting over it."
Unfortunately, it was not something he could use, only something to exchange with others. However, he was about to advance to tier five, and most likely, even the items he received from the exchange wouldn’t be of use to him.
After opening the orbs, Du You looked around and suddenly noticed that the shattered Mother Nest was almost entirely consumed by the beetles. Yet, in the center of the Nest’s remains, a small crystal had emerged.
Du You walked up and took a look at the crystal.
Mother Nest Crystal: Can be directly absorbed to improve the level of mental skills. Can be used for equipment upgrades, enhancing an item up a tier with only basic attribute improvement; usable only once, up to deep yellow tier. (Deep Yellow, unconverted)
Du You tested it and found that conversion required ten thousand Yellow Crystal Coins, not a small price. But the effects should be good. If absorbed directly, conversion isn’t necessary. If for upgrading equipment, it is required.
Typically, equipment upgrades are useless because this item can only enhance basic attributes. And only weapons really benefit from boosted basic attributes. Not to mention, the limit is deep yellow.
"Perhaps when we reach tier five, we can look for a tier five Mother Nest and upgrade our weapons. The rest can be used to improve skill levels; it wouldn’t be a waste," Du You murmured, storing the item.
Then, the group continued on their quest to find more Nests.
One day later, Lin Yucha suddenly closed her eyes. After a while, she opened them with joy and said, "Master, our skill advancement is complete." The two sisters completed their advancement almost simultaneously.
Du You opened the panel to check the sisters’ attributes and noticed minor changes in their previous skills.
Demon Hunter Shadow: Exclusive for Demon Hunters, increases Magic Power level by 2%, speed level by 2%, and attack level by 1.5%. (Level 40, 9 stars)
Demon Hunter Blade: Exclusive for Demon Hunters, increases Magic Power level by 2%, speed level by 1.5%, and attack level by 2%. (Level 40, 9 stars)
The previously weaker attribute had improved from 1% to 1.5%, appearing to be a small boost, but it signified a shift from minor level improvement to a normal enhancement to one’s own level.
The strength of the two sisters surged tremendously. Now, when they sprinted with all their might, Du You watched them with a dizzying sensation; they were just too fast to follow.
Although the skills saw little variation due to the different methods of advancement, the skills themselves greatly enhanced the two women. "Now, your strength is almost invincible among tier four peak. Only, your range is a bit short."
As Du You spoke, the sisters rolled their eyes in annoyance. It wasn’t their range that was short, but rather Du You’s was incredibly far. With the enhancement from the Magic Tunnel skill, Du You’s skill range was terrifying, far surpassing even their Archer skills, not to mention some long-range technological weapons.
If people knew about it, they would die of envy, of course, but the two wouldn’t divulge it.
If the master mentioned their range as short, they’d just have to look for skills to increase it in the future. That said, Lin Yucha was slightly better off; her Brave Eagle’s Arrow skill had the longest range among the three of them.
Although Du You’s skills were enhanced, they still didn’t compare to the exaggerated range of Brave Eagle’s Arrow.
Suddenly, Lin Yucha changed the subject and said, "Master, look quickly, there are many undead in the sky over there. Could that be another Mother Nest?"
