Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266

To accommodate the speed of the skeleton soldiers, Du You’s group had been on the road for over two days to reach a destination that should have been reached much quicker. By the time Du You arrived at the destination, the time was almost up.

"Damn Undead, there are just too many of them. If it were just about traveling, we wouldn’t even need a day to get here,"

Lin Yushi said somewhat annoyed as she looked at the Undead on the road. There were always numerous Undead Creatures blocking the way, which had to be killed before they could proceed. When encountering powerful ones, it required Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha to take action to dispatch them quickly. Even the corpses were only partially collected.

The easily transportable ones were carried along the way, and when they accumulated to a certain extent, Du You casually summoned a Skeleton King, and then let the newly created Skeletons continue to follow. The ones that were not easily transported were simply discarded.

If not for this approach, Du You would not be able to reach the destination before the plan had to start.

After arriving at the location, Du You and his group floated in the air, looking from afar towards Black Fog Canyon. The Undead Mist filled the entire canyon, obscuring the view. This stretch of the Grand Canyon was the shortest route from this side.

However, in the distance, Du You saw scattered Undead Nests—many of them at tier five.

Thankfully, most Undead Nests generally didn’t move, and those at tier five could only fly slowly with their own power. It was rare for one to directly inhabit the body of an Undead Creature.

"Indeed, there are plenty of Undead Nests here. The Undead Mist is thick; do you need me to go in and investigate?"

Du You shook his head, "No need. We’ll just attack forcefully when the time comes. These Undead Nests have likely already detected our arrival." Du You declined letting Lin Yucha take the risk.

Although Lin Yucha was powerful, she would still be in danger against an unknown number of tier five enemies.

Such places were even risky for Du You to enter, as he had no understanding of the situation inside.

"No worries, these Undead Nests are all fighting on their own. Although they can cooperate, they are still self-centered and their thinking is not very sharp. When the battle starts, they will definitely be preoccupied with their own concerns, which will alleviate the pressure on us."

Du You said this while sensing from a distance.

Lin Yucha suddenly spoke up, "But we can’t neglect scouting entirely. Since that’s the case, let’s add a bit of pressure on them." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

With that, Lin Yucha drew an arrow and launched the Brave Eagle’s Arrow in mid-air. A bright, piercing cry followed the arrow as it rapidly crossed the distant area and entered the Black Fog Great Canyon.

Once inside, Lin Yucha’s consciousness on the arrow could barely make out the surroundings, but it was enough to select a tier five enemy that was not very strong and the arrow landed directly on it.

As arrows flew out one after another, indeed, the canyon became chaotic. Before long, the Undead inside began to gather, clustering protectively around their own Mother Nests. Meanwhile, numerous Undead Creatures charged out of the canyon, launching an attack on Du You’s army. Under the well-prepared military slaughter, these Undead were no match at all.

It could be said that Du You didn’t have any tier five Undead Creatures, but on average, his forces were stronger than the enemy Undead.

Lin Yushi, flying in the air, intercepted all the tier five Undead, leaving the rest of the enemy’s army no match. In contrast, with the large number of Demon Extermination Spirits and Du You’s contribution, their army only grew larger and more numerous.

In this world, there weren’t many creatures for the Undead Nests to use to create forces, so these Nests had to rely on absorbing a large amount of material and vegetation for synthesis, making the creation of large armies much slower.

And so, Du You gained quite a few Demonic Flame Skeletons and sacrificed several Bone Dragons.

When the time was almost up, a high-ranking academy official appeared before Du You. The man’s white hair, with a streak of red, was very striking. "Vice Principal, how come you are here?" Du You was startled.

That was a very important figure indeed; in the whole academy, each branch had two vice principals. Although it seemed like a lot, each of them was actually a tier six master. Even if the visitor was not the vice principal of his own branch, their strength was no joke.

"I am here to provide protection for you. The task will be up to you soon," said the vice principal as he began to chant a spell. The fact that a tier six powerhouse was casting a spell indicated it was no ordinary magic.

After making preparations, the vice principal waved his hand, and a white, egg-shaped barrier immediately appeared around Du You, then vanished in a flash. Subsequently, the vice principal continued, casting a protective shield separately on Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi.

"Remember, this shield can only last two days and can only block an enemy’s attack once. Use your own means to fend off ordinary Undead. This is to save your lives."

After finishing his words, the vice principal looked at Du You and nodded, "You are doing well; the academy has high hopes for your future performance."

With that said, the vice principal’s figure vanished in a blink. Even with Du You’s vision and perception, he could barely catch a trace. This wasn’t Instantaneous Movement; it was a display of speed at its extreme.

It seemed that the vice principal was not an ordinary tier six, at least mid-tier six with very special skills.

"Alright, it’s up to us now," Du You declared.

The two sisters nodded and released all the Summoned Creatures they could. Then, Du You waved his hand, and a large number of Demonic Flame Skeletons began charging towards the canyon, a dense mass that could induce fear in those with claustrophobia.

In the air, the Bone Dragons hung back slightly—after all, their main purpose was to control the skeletons. Although their combat power was decent, they were not comparable to the tier five Undead.

Tier five Undead were the main force of the enemy, and they were also the targets of Du You and the two sisters.

Du You summoned Xiaozi and the Ghost Pattern Crow, their auras spreading. Curses were not very effective against Undead, but they still had an effect. With the weakening from the tier five pets, the Undead Power was greatly diminished.

Next, Du You released the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs. Their massive statures, comparable to small hills, even shocked the vice principal hiding in the shadows. After learning so many bizarre skills, it was astonishing how Du You had managed to improve to this extent.

To convert all those skills into abilities suitable for himself would require a substantial sum of Crystal Coins. Du You didn’t care about that at the moment—the general attack had already begun. He then summoned out Bubbles and held off on releasing other Summoned Beasts. It was better not to let too many people know about those things for now; he’d wait until after his own breakthrough.
