Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117

Du You and the two sisters flew forward, continuously clearing out the Sand Snakes that emerged from the ground. The farther they advanced, the more Sand Snakes appeared. However, one section of the Snake Nest spread towards the desert, while the main route continued along the beach.

The segment leading towards the desert had fewer Sand Snakes, but many had been driven there now. Du You thought for a moment, then summoned his Summoned Beasts and sent them along the path to pursue northward. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Xiaozi, from now on, you’ll be in command of them." Among the Summoned Beasts, only Xiaozi had the ability to think.

Xiaozi held his head high and puffed out his chest, displaying a very confident expression, then flew away. At his current level, his Summoned Beasts could fight at a considerable distance from him, capable of autonomously pursuing for quite a long stretch.

Several days later, Du You once again opened a sphere. As they continued to advance, their speed slowed down because the underground cavern became larger and later on began to shrink, but it still covered a vast area.

"Master, how many tier-five Sand Snakes have we killed?" Lin Yushi asked.

"We’ve killed several hundreds by now, and the Crystal Coins are plentiful. With the exclusive Crystal Coins we have now, even if we don’t do anything else, breaking through the level 46 threshold won’t be a problem." He was already able to break through two tiers of the three-tiered threshold, having collected half of the necessary Crystal Coins. If others knew about Du You’s speed of making money, who knows what they would think.

The higher Du You’s level got, the more Crystal Coins he earned. On the other hand, the higher other people’s levels were, the more total number of people needed to complete the quests, resulting in even less harvest and an even slower upgrade speed.

Thus, while other people might not be able to advance a level for many years or even decades, Du You’s leveling up was as simple as eating and drinking water, an outcome so envious it could kill.

However, Du You was still unsatisfied with this rate of improvement and even wanted to acquire more new skills that he could use for learning. He would not hesitate to waste some Crystal Coins for that.

Of course, there was one thing that frustrated Du You, that being the loot from the Sand Snakes, which really didn’t include any equipment they could use.

Apart from Crystal Coins, the only tier-five quality items that burst out from these Sand Snakes were some pet eggs and materials like snake gall and snake skin. The only piece of equipment was a Sand Snake scimitar, which was for Warriors. It seemed that there would be no gear for Mages and Archers.

However, suddenly, Du You looked up towards the distance. "It seems like we’re nearing the end of clearing out the Snake Nest."

"Really? Based on our speed of progression, there should still be a long stretch of the Snake Nest left. Could it be broken?"

Du You shook his head, "It’s not broken, but it’s changed direction. The main direction of the Snake Nest’s spread is no longer along the beach, but has turned toward the direction of the sea. Sand Snakes may be adapted to the beach environment, but they can’t live in the sea."

That was true. Who knows what kind of marine creatures live inside caves in the sea. And with so many Sand Snakes here, it was unlikely that there would be any powerful Magical Beasts in the oceanic caves.

Indeed, after some Beetles entered the water to explore and found nothing, they flew back.

At this moment, the entire Sand Snake Pit was thoroughly cleared by Du You.

"Haha, from now on, the Sand Snake Pit in the south is history. Now I want to see if the Quicksand Empire can bear this loss."

The Sandpeople of the Quicksand Empire are numerous, and no matter how many of them die, they don’t care, but the Sand Snakes can’t afford that. Sand Snakes do not breed that quickly, and now that they have been wiped out, the power of the Quicksand Priests will be greatly reduced.

The Death Scorpion is not so easy to come by; it is the patent of the Shrine of the Death God.

As for ordinary creatures like Sand Wolves and Sand Sculptures, they too can serve as pets for Priests, but their strength is far inferior.

Du You opened the panel and saw that the hidden mission to clear out the Sand Snake Pit was complete. After submitting the task, he received a treasure chest which contained nearly one hundred thousand Crystal Coins.

This was the first time such a large number of Crystal Coins appeared at once. Perhaps this was also because the Snake Nest was too important, or maybe it was because the strength here was too great.

"Skill Hall blueprint, I’ve actually gathered all the blueprint resources for a new territory," Du You took out a blueprint and saw that it was for the Skill Hall, remembering that Harry Asteroid didn’t have one yet.

Du You continued to reach into the treasure chest and a statue of a Double-headed Sand Snake appeared in his hand.

Desert Snake God Statue: Erect a Snake God Altar to worship the statue, which can breed Sand Snakes, improve their growth and breeding speeds. The bred Sand Snakes adapt to various desert environments and are absolutely loyal to their master.

"What’s the use of this thing? Am I supposed to use it to breed snakes?" Du You said with some disdain.

"Maybe it really can be used to breed snakes. With such a big Snake Nest, if we breed Sand Snakes here, they could pose a huge threat to the Quicksand Empire in the future. Imagine, their Priests coming in to select Sand Snakes and then getting killed by them. By the time they realize, who knows how many Priests would have died," Lin Yushi suddenly said.

"How could you come up with such a wicked idea?" Du You said irritably. "But maybe breeding Sand Snakes really is useful. Forget it, let’s see if Shaliya needs it when we get back. If it’s useless, we can just sell it."

In his hands, Du You had quite a few high-quality Sand Snake pet eggs, which could be used for breeding.

Of course, the introduction mentioned the Desert Snake God, and the creatures to be bred were Desert Sand Snakes, which are probably different from the original Sand Snakes accustomed to sandy beach environments.

If we could breed new, high-tier Sand Snakes that are adapted to the desert environment, they would likely play a significant role in a battle against the Quicksand Empire.

Of course, absolute loyalty is also very important; with that, the usefulness of the Sand Snakes increases greatly.

"Even if we don’t use them ourselves, it could be good to equip our soldiers with them in the future. Moreover, we could take them back to Earth to sell in pet stores; having a store that sells advanced pets isn’t a bad idea. There aren’t many stores selling high-tier pets out there."

Lin Yucha thought of some pet stores, which of course were combat pet stores. Du You thought about it and felt it made sense.

"It’s a good idea. Forget it, let’s slowly study it when we get back," This wasn’t really something for Du You to ponder. He had plenty of strategists; when they got back, they could come up with a plan.
