Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076

A Mother Nest that could not move and had not grown to a significant size was utterly ineffective against Du You. In just a few hours of cleansing, Du You had completely cleaned up not only the Mother Nest but also all of the surrounding Undead.

Closing her eyes to sense for a while, Lin Yucha opened her eyes and said, "There isn’t a single Undead Creature within 6 miles."

"That’s good, let’s clean up the battlefield then," Du You nodded slightly. Cleaning up the battlefield didn’t require them personally fighting, as long as the Demon Extermination Spirits were there, to collect all the bones and corpses and then burn them.

This was information they had gotten from the Nature Child. The bodies of the Undead must be burned after their death, otherwise, they could be used by other Mother Nests. Although these bodies would not revive as Undead, once devoured by a Mother Nest, they could more easily create many more powerful Undead Creatures.

Thus, there was an unspoken rule in this world. That was, after killing an Undead Creature, if possible, one must completely destroy it. Up to this point, Du You had had no experience in this area.

However, later on, Du You had simply used the Devouring Swamp to disintegrate the lesser quantities of the Undead when he didn’t have much time to burn them. Now with so many, they needed to be collected first, then disintegrated.

As Du You opened the spherical container, he watched the Demon Extermination Spirits cleaning below. Meanwhile, Lin Yucha was helping Du You edit those scenes. Earlier he hadn’t lent a hand, but the Totem sacrificial battle video here couldn’t be ignored.

"Master, what should we do with these things, should we take them back?" Lin Yushi pointed at the items below and said. Leaving other things aside, just a fragment of a Totem pillar had already piled up significantly. There were also those murals nearby, which were very precious items and might even be made of special materials.

Du You shook his head: "We don’t have that much time. Let’s just organize these items, then send the coordinates back. Other academies will come and tidy up when they have the time."

This was a common method many people used. Just send the coordinates of this place back, and then cover up the nearby area. With a large number of Demon Extermination Spirits at hand, this kind of task was very easy to accomplish.

After tidying up, Du You continued flying forward with the sisters, looking for new targets.

The Mother Nest crystals left by the Mother Nest were absorbed by the three of them little by little, and their spirit attribute skills improved very quickly. It seemed that it wouldn’t take long for these skills to reach a high level along with his own.

Following that, the group began to probe around for information on Undead Nests. Whenever they found one, they would investigate. If an Undead Nest reached the fifth tier, Du You would note it down without reporting, and then continue exploring.

If the discovered Undead Nest did not reach the fifth tier, Du You would take action to resolve it, whether it was a third or second-tier Nest. Du You would not let any go, even the Mother Nest crystals alone were very valuable.

But a fifth-tier Mother Nest was too powerful, having only two methods of combat; one was controlling the surrounding Undead Creatures, and the other was a special spirit attack it emitted itself. This kind of spirit attack, if not reaching one’s own defense limit, posed no threat at all, which was the case for a fourth-tier Nest.

However, a fifth-tier Nest could easily break through his mental defense limit. Du You knew that if he went against a fifth-tier Nest, he would have no chance of winning. Once the opponent’s wide-range attack was issued, he would be either dead or severely injured if not dead.

Facing such a special attack from a creature, Du You would definitely not provoke it unless he had broken through to the fifth tier himself.

Nevertheless, even with the current situation, Du You’s hunt had been hugely rewarding. It was a pity that most of them were just Crystal Coins, which would be useless once he had his breakthrough.

For the excess Crystal Coins, Du You really wanted to create new skills, even those not suitable for his own profession were no problem. But now, there were no skills that could catch Du You’s eye anymore.

Looking at these Crystal Coins, which could only be used as ordinary coins in the future, Du You felt somewhat heartbroken.

But there was no other choice, he could only continue hunting. As he did, Du You found that his mission progress had already reached nearly 9 stars, but reaching 10 stars was still a distant dream.

Not knowing how long he had been out, Du You shut off the communication initiated by Li Mengyao, suddenly noticing something odd ahead. "That direction, there are many Undead Creatures, perhaps a large Mother Nest, let’s go and explore."

While speaking, Du You released the Photon Elf, and then let it go ahead. He himself quietly hid. Lin Yucha had already found a hidden place, released an invisibility cloak, and shielded their presence.

"This looks like a city, not a Mother Nest."

"Hmph, this place looks evil just from one glance," Lin Yushi said in frustration.

Du You nodded, "That’s right. But how did you tell?"

"So many bones, such an evil style, it doesn’t look like a place where normal people would live," Lin Yushi said naturally, perhaps this was truly how she thought.

Du You rolled his eyes, thinking that this kind of statement was just like that of an ordinary person, lacking any discernment.

Lin Yucha irritably tapped her sister’s head: "Look closely, in those Undead Cities outside the wilderness, they must have been built by Undead Mages, but some are for protecting civilians, and those cities will have signs of life. But this one, with no traces of human habitation, that means this city won’t protect humans."

"Not protect humans? What would that mean?" Lin Yushi asked curiously.

"You really should read more often. Not protecting means using them. Such cities, if they encounter humans, might even attack them actively, turning them into Undead Creatures. After all, human souls are very powerful." Fresh chapters posted on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Humans were inferior to magical beasts or other creatures in terms of physical attributes, even worse than wild beasts. However, the strength of an Undead Creature depended on the soul and death power, not the strength before death.

Although personal strength did have some effect, it mattered for the powerful. For general ordinary Undead Creatures, using humans was the best and offered the greatest potential.

Thus, to distinguish whether the master of an Undead City in this world is good, one can perceive it by the presence of human habitation. Turning into an Undead Mage, many people developed various mental issues over time.
