Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181

Regardless, it was always a delight to find that the Tianzai Cloud had acquired direct attack capabilities. Du You did not fuss over it too much and had the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs collect the Tianzai Cloud before calling them back.

Such a wide-ranging yet not very powerful means of attack was better used sparingly. In common battles, it was still more convenient and more potent to deploy the Resentful Souls Domain oneself.

Then, Du You continued the search for large tribes with his team. Nearly every day, they encountered at least one tribe; although Tier 5 tribes were somewhat rare, the profits were substantial. Gradually, Du You’s Crystal Coins increased in number, and soon, he would have enough to create equipment that wouldn’t suit his abilities.

Such a waste of exclusive Crystal Coins seemed such a pity; perhaps it was time to consider what special abilities could be used to create them. If not, there were always others to consider.

Du You glanced at the two sisters, who seemed to sense something and smiled at him.

After destroying countless tribes, Du You felt more accustomed to his newly enhanced strength. Although the data showed no improvement, his actual combat power seemed to have covertly increased a notch.

With constant use and experimentation, his control over various skills grew stronger, seemingly indicating that his advanced skills could continue to level up.

The two sisters were becoming increasingly adept at their skill deployment as well. This update ıs available on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥

However, on this day, Du You saw another mass of Tianzai Cloud, a faint black reminiscent of smoke from something burnt, not very distinct in the sky.

"This Tianzai Cloud is so vast," Lin Yushi commented as she looked up at the cloud formation.

"Such a large range," Lin Yucha said with grave concern, "it either means a large number or the presence of a Tier 6 Heavenly Disaster Giant Beast. Master, we would be best to avoid this area."

Although their recent ventures had been smooth sailing, even when facing pinnacle Tier 5 Heavenly Disaster Beasts, those weren’t a match for them and were even easy to kill. Nonetheless, they hadn’t forgotten where they were. In the Heavenly Disaster Wasteland, there certainly existed Tier 6 Giant Beasts, and not a few.

"Let’s scout it out first, we might as well not get too close."

Du You frowned as he wasn’t sure what this was. If there were no Tier 6 Beasts but a large number of Tier 5 ones, it would be fantastic. This could be a wave that would collect enough Crystal Coins.

Perhaps they could even acquire highly valuable equipment, something Du You had no intention of passing up.

In the past few days, although they had hunted many Heavenly Disaster Beasts, they hadn’t got one piece of equipment they could use. Even relying on treasure chests hadn’t yielded anything useful, so they had to be sent back for the company’s use.

Now faced with this situation, it would be difficult for Du You to walk away.

"Okay, then wait, there seems to be someone over there." Suddenly, Lin Yucha’s expression grew tense, and she looked towards a direction.

"Someone? Is it someone hiding here, preparing to attack a Giant Beast or resting?" Anyone daring to venture this deep likely did not wind up here by accident.

If the stranger intended to attack, caution was advised. If they were a Tier 6 Professional, then they needed to be wary. Although Professionals didn’t have to worry about being murdered for their treasures, there were still some crazed individuals who took pleasure in killing others.

They approached cautiously, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf was the first to reach the figure. It gently moved the person’s shadow, and there was no reaction. Were it not for the faint signs of life, Du You would suspect that this individual had already died. By the looks of it, their situation was precarious.

When the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf turned the person over, Lin Yushi suddenly said, "Hey? Isn’t this the one we met when we first came to the Wilderness?" Her memory was sharp, recalling the face from the group they encountered before.

Although the individual wasn’t Tier 6, their level was undoubtedly high, perhaps even higher than theirs. But looking at their current state, it was apparent that they were on the brink of death, their life force swiftly declining.

When had the normally hardy Desolator become ? Du You became alert.

After the person was turned, they slowly opened their eyes, their expression growing firm upon seeing Du You and the others. Then, trembling, they reached a hand into their chest.

"Please, take this back, deliver it to, to the Shadow Council, there will be a substantial reward."

The man held a thin crystal-like slab in his hand, presumably a device for recording information.

"How did you end up in such a dire situation?" Du You heard the name "Shadow Council" and a glint appeared in his eyes. This organization was not known for pleasant things, and Du You wanted no association with them.

Probably, the item was meant to inform the council of their demise. There might be secrets or records of merit inside it, which would benefit their families. But why should Du You care? He had no fondness for the Shadow Council.

The man’s face showed a flash of pain and fear: "All dead. The Demon Worm Calamity, too horrific."

Seeming overly excited, the person passed out, and their life force rapidly faded.

After a thorough check, Lin Yucha said, "It’s beyond saving, he’s poisoned, with a very potent toxin." It wasn’t instantly lethal but was exceedingly difficult to eradicate.

Even a Unicorn with strong healing capabilities couldn’t cure it. Not that Du You was planning on treating the man anyway. "Master, what should we do, should we send this back?"

"Absolutely not, don’t forget the curse the last time, we don’t know who did it, it could have been them."

Hearing Lin Yushi’s words, Du You nodded—the memory was still fresh. Though uncertain if the Shadow Council was responsible, the possibility remained, and aiding a potential foe was out of the question.

What’s more, the Shadow Council was inherently a dark entity, with a reputation tarnished among the world’s major organizations. Getting entangled with them could spell unknown trouble. Du You was no saint willing to jeopardize his own safety for strangers. To not directly end the man’s life was generous enough.
