Chapter 116: Chapter 116

For the first time, Du You discovered the numerous functions of his Mucus Swamp spell that he had previously overlooked.

It was able to burn, and the burning rate was very fast. Moreover, copious amounts of poison would erupt during the process of burning. Du You did not know how powerful it was, but the scope was definitely as large as that of high-level magic.

After all, the range of his Mucus Curse was already quite extensive. The poison it spread could cover an area several, or even a dozen times, larger. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩

He was not sure about the strength of the poison once it spread out. His Mucus Swamp possessed rather potent poison. Without specialized antidote or poison resistance, creatures of his own level intoxicated by it would hardly be able to resist. As for those of lower level, like the soldiers disguised as robbers last time, they were immediately poisoned to death.

"Hehe, that’s correct." Du You chuckled awkwardly.

Thinking of something, Xi Qianxue pointed to a certain direction and directed Du You, "Cast your spell over there, and there, and here. These five places. Can you do it?"

Despite not fully understanding, Du You saw that the few positions pointed out were either not easily combustible or often overlooked. Without any hesitation, he replied, "No problem. It only takes five seconds to prepare for each cast."

Du You revealed the preparation time for his spell, but did not mention that he could cast it three times consecutively. Moreover, he could always level up. As soon as he reached Level 4, his spell casting time would be reduced.

In this way, he managed to hide some of his abilities. Xi Qianxue said nothing and continued to cast sparks over a wide area.

With his spell cast five times on the designated locations, Du You swiftly understood Xi Qianxue’s intentions. It turned out that his help was not merely for setting fires.

The fire ignited at the five locations spread large amounts of poison throughout the grain store. Having just learnt the usefulness of his spell, Du You was somewhat embarrassed. After all, it was his spell, but the opponent was using it better than him.

"Let’s go, this place is getting ruined." Xi Qianxue was pleased.

Originally, she had planned to spend at least ten minutes to destroy the grain store. It could have taken longer if everything was not completely cleared, which then would delay their plans.

Who could have thought that Du You, whom she brought with her, would have such a wide-ranging spell that could also assist in combustion. In less than five minutes, the grain store was completely destroyed, leaving not even a single grain.

They had ample time to retreat. The group hurried back in the direction they came from.

"By the way, do you still need your Molotov cocktails? If not, could I have a few?" Du You suddenly asked.

"They are of no use anymore." Xi Qianxue replied as she signaled Daniu, who took out ten Molotov cocktails and handed them to Du You.

Silently accepting them, Du You did not believe that Daniu only had ten. Perhaps, they had other purposes for them.

Du You wondered if this favor was to make up for the previous one. Thinking about so many things gave him a headache, so he decided not to dwell on it.

Shortly after they left, boarman warriors and other robbers rushed over. Seeing the terrifying fire from afar, all the boarmen and robbers went berserk.

"Who the hell did this?" The huge boarman at the front roared angrily. Waving his club, he smashed the door that had not yet been burnt into pieces. Those around him rushed in, hoping to find some food that might have survived the fire.

But many of them changed their expressions as soon as they rushed in. The toxins were still lingering.

One of the half-beastmen grabbed a handful of grain that had not been burned and stuffed it into his mouth. The next moment, he clutched his throat and fell to the ground. Everyone around him quickly moved out of the way. A moment later, they realized he had been poisoned.

But it was too late. The poison from Du You’s Mucus Swamp was potent. This low-level half-beastman with no special ability to resist poison died in less than a minute after swallowing the toxins.

"Boss, what are we going to do without food? The food in the camp is only enough for us to eat two meals."

The large black boar leader roared, "If we run out, we’ll go out and rob! We’re robbers after all. Two meals won’t last us for a day, so, let’s start now. Scout for any potential targets in the vicinity."

The boarman leader decisively chose to go out for plunder. It was perhaps the only option for anyone in this situation.

Without thinking, everyone began to discuss and plan. The whole camp was in chaos even before dawn. Shortly after, many people were driven out of their rooms by the commotion and headed to the square.

"Hurry up! Everyone get out! If you don’t want to starve to death, pick up your weapons and rob."

Standing on his platform, the boarman leader shouted. Soon, everyone in the camp knew what had happened.

In the sky, Du You lay on Xiaozi’s back, flying high. Although he could not hear what they were saying, he could clearly see the robbers’ movements.

Many robbers were moving back and forth. Not much time had passed before the robbers started gathering into groups and ran towards the exit. Even the boarman elite fighters left their camp.

Du You directed Xiaozi to descend from the sky without attracting any attention. "Great, our plan worked. They have left their camp, and except for the weak and elderly, almost everyone has gone."

"Hehe, robbers are just robbers, idiots. They didn’t even leave some people to guard their homes." Daniu said with disdain.

"Since we have succeeded, let’s move on to the next phase of the plan. After we wipe them out, we will have a good start when we return,"

It seemed that Xi Qianxue had a plan. Du You thought to himself.

"Your eagle is really nice, enviable."

Du You waved his hand, "No, no, I’m envious of your intelligence. By the way, let’s split up and destroy them. This way would be faster." Du You recalled what he saw earlier and decided to take a risk.
