Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175
The vortex dissolved, and Du You returned with the two sisters to a familiar place. This was the wilderness, not far from the city. Du You extended his perception and discovered that new Heavenly Disaster Beasts had reemerged in the vicinity.
However, the strength of this Heavenly Disaster Beast wasn’t very formidable, having just reached the fourth tier, Du You couldn’t even be bothered to deal with it.
"Let’s go, first head into the city and see where we need to go next," he said.
Leading the two sisters, Du You returned to the city and quickly located the Professionals’ Guild. As a tier five Professional, even in the world of giants, Du You could now be considered a significant figure. In such small cities, those tier six masters wouldn’t appear, and even the tier five ones were a rare sight.
With the power Du You had now, he had no intention of seeking out solitary fifth tier Heavenly Disaster Beasts. The reward was too insignificant; he couldn’t be bothered to make the effort. What Du You wanted now was a place swarming with Heavenly Disaster Beasts.
After Du You made his request known, the attendant promptly handed him a set of materials.
"Heavenly Disaster Wasteland, there’s actually such a place. The closest one from us is only a three-day journey at our speed," Du You realized that the world of giants was much bigger than he had imagined.
The Heavenly Disaster Wasteland is a general term and not a specific location. In fact, all areas where the giant beasts congregate are called Heavenly Disaster Wastelands, ruled over by the Heavenly Disaster Beasts.
It’s true that as soon as Heavenly Disaster Beasts encountered each other, they were bound to fight fiercely to the death, often resulting in the extinction of one side.
But if the Heavenly Disaster Beasts belonged to the same species, they would not fight. Instead, they would gather together to form a unit and jointly fend off external enemies. Even though the Heavenly Disaster Beasts don’t possess much intellect, their instincts are still exceptionally strong. This is the foundation of the Heavenly Disaster Wastelands.

Above the Heavenly Disaster Wastelands, massive tribes of Heavenly Disaster Beasts gather, transforming vast areas into lands of disaster. Ordinary people couldn’t possibly survive in such places.
Between different tribes, unless the discrepancy in strength is too great, encounters would not lead to attacks from Heavenly Disaster Beasts. Perhaps they fear the heavy losses and the chance of other Heavenly Disaster Beasts capitalizing on their weakness.
Unlike the Heavenly Disaster Beasts, Guardian Beasts, though not aggressive upon meeting each other, generally do not exhibit a social structure. It seems Guardian Beasts are just a mutant breed of Heavenly Disaster Beasts, a sort of natural predator, but they are far too few in number. This is why Heavenly Disaster Beasts dominate this world, with Guardian Beasts and other species only able to stay on the fringes.
The Heavenly Disaster Wasteland is one of the best destinations for Professionals, of course, that is for the strong. For the weak, encountering such groups means either escaping or being annihilated, with no gains to speak of.
Teaming up might yield victory, but the rewards are far too little, and that’s the biggest problem.
This is also why, although the world of giants is full of beasts and the production of Crystal Coins is high, few people are willing to come to such places. It is only those in need of Crystal Coins who venture here.
Most of the tier five and six individuals, even though they might visit Heavenly Disaster Plains, would only seek out solitary or fewer Heavenly Disaster Beasts to hunt. They wouldn’t dare mess with large tribes.
But to Du You, this was the best kind of place. It could provide him with copious amounts of Crystal Coins, which were of utmost value. As for the number, Du You really wasn’t worried.
As for equipment and materials, Du You stopped pursuing those excessively; after all, the drop rates were inherently low. The upper class from the powerful factions didn’t necessarily have complete sets of equipment. Moreover, given his fast leveling pace, chasing after those pieces of gear would only result in them being outdated shortly; it was better to focus entirely on boosting his own power.
He believed that after reaching tier seven, those tier seven masters would definitely not have many pieces of equipment.
Taking the two sisters with him and having found the right direction, Du You did not waste any time and directly rode the Platform Floating Cloud towards the distant landscape. It had to be said that the Platform Floating Cloud was truly the best in long-distance transport abilities.
Being close to the Heavenly Disaster Plains, they encountered numerous Heavenly Disaster Beasts along the way; it was, in fact, quite common. But Du You didn’t even bother to engage the fourth tier Heavenly Disaster Beasts, simply flying past them.
When a Heavenly Disaster Beast actively initiated an attack, Du You responded mercilessly, requiring only one move to obliterate them. It was only two fifth tier beasts that took a bit of his time.
The defense of the fifth tier Heavenly Disaster Beasts was strong and their size massive, making them not easy to kill, even Du You had to attack seriously. Fortunately, the Energy Gathering Magic Cannon packed a powerful punch; as long as it hit, it was a sure kill, no beast could escape.
And so, after three days, the trio finally reached their destination.
"Finally here, is that it up ahead?" Lin Yushi stretched lazily, although she had long grown accustomed to traveling. Still, being stationary for three continuous days was quite uncomfortable.
"That should be it. That gloomy sky above, they say it’s formed from the intertwining of massive clouds of Heavenly Disaster. Look over there, that vast expanse of blue Heavenly Disaster clouds, there should be a big tribe there."
Du You pointed to a patch of blue in the sky. It wasn’t the color of the sky, but that of the clouds. Such a spectacle only occurred when there was a large congregation of the same kind of Heavenly Disaster Beasts gathered together, unique to this world.
"Quick, look over there, people are gathering. Should we go over?" Lin Yucha suddenly pointed to a distant spot and said.
"Probably a hunting squad, but since we have no plans to form a team, there’s no need to go over there."
From a distance, Du You felt out the squad and found that most of them were tier five experts, but there were also two tier six members among them. He wondered what the situation was, whether they were hunting tier six or five Heavenly Disaster Beasts. However, even from afar, they had noticed Du You’s presence, and their eyes were filled with wariness.
Du You knew, without the need to approach, that these people were not welcoming to him. He couldn’t be bothered to seek unpleasantness for himself and continued forward instead. These people didn’t seem to intend to target the region of blue Heavenly Disaster clouds, so Du You was happy to take it for himself.
"Hmph, clueless fools, a mere trio daring to come to such a place—they won’t live long," someone in the squad remarked with a sneer, "We shouldn’t meddle in another’s business, just take care of our own. This operation can’t afford to fail or be exposed, so everyone be vigilant. If anyone dares to pry, we won’t hesitate to kill without question." With that, the person’s gaze swept over the location of Du You and his companions.
