Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179

"Is this evolving? Or should I say mutating?" Du You looked at his Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs with some curiosity, having never encountered such a situation before. Usually, changes only occurred with skill improvement.

Unexpectedly, this time, he faced such a bizarre transformation. Yet, Du You knew that it was impossible for the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs’ star and level to increase, so evolution was basically out of the question, but mutation – what could it mutate into? This was a creature of darkness, specially crafted from corpses.

"Looking at this, it seems it will take several days," Lin Yucha said.

There was no help for it; in all the materials on giant beasts available in this world, there was nothing about this situation. Thinking about it, the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs had followed him in slaying countless Heavenly Disaster Beasts and devouring many Heavenly Disaster Clouds.

This time, they encountered a vast number of similar Heavenly Disaster Clouds, consuming them continuously, a privilege that typical Heavenly Disaster Beasts did not have. Thinking it over, Du You decided to ask the two sisters to stop.

Though this was undoubtedly a dry desert region, with the obliteration of the Heavenly Disaster Beasts, it wasn’t so unbearable anymore.

"Let’s wait; I’ll see what good things we’ve got this time."

As Du You opened the spheres, the sisters watched alongside. To Du You, opening spheres was a joyful activity, a rare moment of relief amidst tedious battles.

Unfortunately, they didn’t obtain any special equipment they could use, only some materials and a large amount of Crystal Coins. However, the number of Crystal Coins was somewhat high. If this continued, perhaps his Crystal Coins would reach the level needed to construct special skills. Of course, as levels increased, the cost of constructing skills different from one’s own grew exponentially.

If in the past constructing skills not belonging to his profession required only tens of thousands of Crystal Coins, now the same skills would likely need millions of blue Crystal Coins.

Only when Du You truly had more Crystal Coins than he could use would he consider constructing such skills.

After packing up, Du You opened a treasure chest, gaining another batch of Crystal Coins. Then, he saw a special skill. "Haha, awesome, we finally got it, exactly what we need."

"What skill is it?" Lin Yushi approached, curiosity intense.

"A locking skill, perfect for an archer type." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Phantom Lock: Archer passive skill, locks onto a target point, greatly increases the archer’s accuracy, substantially adjusts the trajectory of arrows. Reduces air and energy resistance, enhances obstacle avoidance capability, extends range. (Level 31, 8 stars)

Lin Yushi shook her head, "Too bad this skill doesn’t suit me. Give it to my sister instead; whether for assassination or targeted sniping, this skill is very effective."

Lin Yucha did not oppose; the skill clearly suited her better. After receiving the skill, Lin Yucha immediately activated it under others’ protection, and then Du You directly promoted her to level 46, and her star level to 9 stars.

With the new skill, Lin Yucha tested it and found that all her skills could accurately hit the target. This precision wasn’t like the previous aimed shots, but an automatic adjustment. After locking onto a target, even if her attack was imprecise or the target moved, her attacks would still automatically curve to lock on.

And the correction was significant, nearly reaching a sixty-degree change. The locked target was the size of a pinhead, with an extraordinarily high precision. After reducing air and energy resistance, the arrows shot silently.

If there weren’t any sound and light effects, the arrows would be almost silent, an excellent method for assassination.

Next, the chest produced a Disaster Conch, a palm-sized sea snail that looked identical to those they had hunted before, only much smaller.

Disaster Conch: Summons a level 45 Disaster Conch to aid in combat. (1/1, blue)

They gave Du You three conches in total, all single-use Summoned Creatures, but this time it was clearly different.

"This thing has no duration limit, though it can’t be resummoned if it dies. It’s essentially like having a fixed-level pet," Lin Yucha suddenly remarked.

"Really, I hadn’t noticed that just now," Lin Yushi said, surprised.

After a moment of thought, Du You shook his head and responded, "It’s of no use to us; the Disaster Conch’s combat ability is alright, but its mobility is too poor. We can’t be dragging it around all the time. Moreover, its combat ability doesn’t help us much, any magic effect is stronger than this."

That was true; Lin Yucha tilted her head and considered, "Then we can only bring it back, but better not to sell it. It might have little value to us, but for an average tier-five expert, the value is enormous."

Du You understood; after all, this was a fifth-tier Heavenly Disaster Beast, and most professionals of the same level were no match for it. Despite its slow speed, both Du You and Lin Yuchi could kill it in an instant.

However, its defense was extraordinarily strong, typical same-level experts couldn’t hurt a Disaster Conch, and the flame magic it released was very powerful, it could also enhance the power of Flame Attribute Magic, and it recovered quickly. As long as the mobility issue was resolved, it would be a very powerful support creature.

As for the mobility issue, that wasn’t really a problem for Professionals, as there were many ways to resolve it.

Having secured the items, Du You and the sisters settled down. The Platform Floating Cloud was lowered almost parallel to the ground, and with tents pitched and some household items arranged, it became a perfect living area.

For the next three days, the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs were in the midst of transformation. The light red clouds on their bodies darkened gradually, the color deepening, and although the aura they emitted didn’t strengthen, it became more refined.

Du You could feel that it was supposed to strengthen, but it was suppressed by his own level and skills. Since the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs couldn’t enhance their strength, this part of their energy was used to condense, making their foundation increasingly formidable.

This was a good thing for Du You; the level could be raised later, but the height each level could improve wasn’t something that could be changed casually. He believed that after this evolution, his Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs’ strength would become even more outstanding.
