Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180
In the past two days, the giant cocoon continuously squirmed and deepened in color while simultaneously shrinking in size. However, on the third day, the size of the cocoon began to increase exponentially and even started to pulsate.
It was as if it were a heart, thumping relentlessly. This scene reminded Du You of a time before, similar to when the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs hadn’t yet been turned into Summoned Beasts, during their transformation into Heavenly Disaster Beasts.
To Du You’s surprise, on the last day, a Heavenly Disaster Beast was actually attracted to the scene.
Initially unnoticed, a giant bird suddenly swooped down from the sky, attempting to attack the giant cocoon. Fortunately, Lin Yucha reacted swiftly, raising her hand and firing a series of arrows, a few whirlpool arrows instantly killing the swooping Heavenly Disaster Beast. Otherwise, had the attack been successful, who knows what the outcome would have been.
Left with no other choice, Du You had to summon all his Summoned Beasts to protect the area, ensuring safety.
On this final day, more than a dozen Heavenly Disaster Beasts came to attack the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog. Du You could feel that although the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog could instinctively counterattack, its counterattacks were very weak.
Moreover, such counterattacks were not beneficial to itself. Du You calmed his pet, preventing the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog from counterattacking on its own, and took on all defensive duties himself and with his Summoned Beasts.
At noon on the third day, the change finally occurred. The originally enormous cocoon suddenly shriveled. The rich luster on the cocoon faded and was ultimately completely absorbed by the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog.
The figure of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog appeared, now completely unrecognizable as a Dried Corpse, although it was still described as such in the introduction. The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog was immensely robust, now standing over thirty meters tall. Already the largest of all Summoned Beasts, it was now even larger; this size was formidable even among most Heavenly Disaster Beasts of the same tier.
Other Summoned Beasts appeared like tiny insects in front of the new Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog, utterly inconspicuous.
The originally black fur slightly reddened; the wind blowing past seemed to ignite a swath of flames.
Then, the previously dissipated Heavenly Disaster clouds reemerged in the sky, but this time they were no longer pale red but dark red, resembling dried blood or darkened flames.
Du You hurriedly opened the panel. Lin Yucha also asked, "Is there any change on the panel?"
Du You shook his head, "No significant changes, it’s still more or less the same, wait, the ’Heavenly Disaster Cloud’ skill has changed." Du You noticed that the only change was this one skill, but this morphological change wasn’t just for show.
Heavenly Disaster Cloud: Flowing Fire, originating from itself, actively creates a drought and Flowing Fire environment within a five-thousand-kilometer radius, with the severity of drought and fire damage gradually increasing over time as one draws closer.
"Look, the type of disaster has changed to Flowing Fire, and the radius has also increased to five thousand kilometers."
Such a range was extraordinarily vast; if the Flowing Fire was powerful, then his own Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog would truly become a mobile disaster. This range, once deploying the Heavenly Disaster Clouds, could cover an entire country.
"It can still create a drought environment, lengthy activation could destroy a small continent entirely," Lin Yucha said. Nonetheless, they wouldn’t undertake such action as it bore no benefits.
"Let’s test out the offensive effectiveness of the Flowing Fire. I didn’t expect the Heavenly Disaster Cloud to possess offensive capabilities."
Du You had always believed that Heavenly Disaster Clouds were solely for creating disasters. Such disasters rarely had direct offensive effects and typically involved changing the environment. However, this time, after evolution, everything about the disaster had changed.
The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog could control the range of its Heavenly Disaster Clouds, not rashly expanding them. Moreover, the more the area was reduced, the stronger the offensive power within that range became, although the increase was not significant.
Du You controlled the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog to reduce the Heavenly Disaster Clouds to a hundred-meter range. Above, a hundred meters all turned into a layer of dark red clouds, with the surrounding temperature continuously rising, as if inside a giant oven.
Suddenly, something extra appeared in the air. A spot of dark red luminescence suddenly surfaced, resembling a firelight, no, it was indeed a firelight. Du You could feel that it comprised highly concentrated Fire Elements mixed with some dark elements.
The Flowing Fire touched Du You and the others, merely providing a sense of warmth without any impact. However, when it touched the targeted Sea Snail’s shell, sparks suddenly erupted into a fireball, sticking to the shell and beginning to burn.
"The attack isn’t very strong, but it’s troublesome and difficult to remove. Now, this disaster is more of a wildfire than a drought," indeed, wherever this guy deployed the Heavenly Disaster Cloud, a fire would rage.
Anything combustible would be ignited by these sparks. Although the attack wasn’t very strong, its range was significantly vast, and the attack carried the essence of fifth-tier power, which could still somewhat affect fifth-tier experts.
"It’s a kind of domain-type skill, but the attack power is a bit weak. However, it’s great for clearing out minor monsters," Du You calculated internally. After a large-area expansion, third-tier experts could still resist. If it were second-tier experts without special abilities, prolonged exposure could result in severe injuries, or they might even die under this flame. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
If it weren’t for his Demonic Flame Skeleton’s extremely potent fire resistance, this move would definitely be the bane of his Demonic Flame Skeleton. Forces below third-tier brought in large numbers would just be cannon fodder.
At this moment, the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog could truly be regarded as a disaster. However, unfortunately, this move was mostly useless and didn’t significantly aid their battles.
"Master, the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog has advanced this time, perhaps it could advance a second time. Let’s continue to hunt a large number of Giant Beasts for it to devour. I believe the next evolution will bring even stronger changes to the Heavenly Disaster Cloud," Lin Yucha seemed to sense Du You’s disappointment and suddenly spoke up.
Du You nodded, "I know, it’s just incidental anyway. The Giant Beast world is a great place to earn Crystal Coins, and we’ll be spending a lot of time in this world in the future. There’s still a chance for the next evolution."
Of course, Du You didn’t have high expectations either; what comes is luck, what goes is fate. His abilities were already very strong, and Du You himself could barely find any shortcomings, nor was there anything he urgently wanted to acquire.
