Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269
With no formidable enemies around, and the enemy’s fifth-tier Undead having suffered heavy casualties, all the remaining Mother Nests began to preserve themselves. A portion of the Mother Nests even took to the sky, slowly flying towards the distance.
Now that they were fleeing, and their military forces were not united in heart, how could they possibly be a match for Du You and his companions?
Although the previous battles had drained a considerable amount of energy from Du You and the others, their Magic Power had always remained full, so their combat strength had not decreased much. "Don’t bother with those trying to escape; prioritize killing the stubborn ones."
Du You shouted loudly, and then the two sisters let those who wanted to run away go. Consequently, more and more Undead Nests began to flee, reducing the pressure on Du You and his team.
This time, Du You wasn’t aiming to annihilate them all because Crystal Coins were no longer of much use to him. Killing a few more would not have much effect; it was better to clear the canyon as quickly as possible. Letting some go would ease their own pressure as well. Besides, those Undead Nests were fleeing too slowly.
It was likely that by the time they managed to flee, the companions defending them would have been completely annihilated.
Just as Du You thought, in the end, it turned into the three of them chasing down Mother Nests. Except for a very few that couldn’t fly at all, the rest of the Mother Nests were no match for them at all, and they were able to kill their way through easily.
Unlike the Mother Nests, those Undead Creatures weren’t fleeing. They had no choice; this was the domain of the Mother Nests. Any Undead Creature that entered here and stayed long enough would come under the control of the Mother Nests. Now that the Mother Nests were trying to escape, of course, they would use these Undead to block the way.
It was only the sixth-tier ones that were not controlled by the fifth-tier Mother Nests; they thought to come and go as they pleased.
As evening fell and the dim moon rose into the sky, Black Fog Canyon was finally cleared by Du You.
The upper class of the Academy nearby immediately reported the battle situation, and the students in the rear exploded with excitement. Especially the footage of Du You and his companions fighting, which was highly disseminated.
From this footage, they deeply felt the strength of Du You.
Naturally, those below the fifth tier were just there for the excitement, while those above the fifth tier were extremely surprised. The power displayed by Du You was terrifying, as was the combat power of those two Archers.
In such an environment, they believed they would definitely not be able to hold on. However, the other party could endure and methodically eliminate the enemy. In the end, the enemy collapsed, and they were unscathed.
It seems there are still many insufficiencies in oneself, thought the Academy’s instructors, each showing a bitter smile on their face. Having been teachers at Capital University for many years, being outdone by a student was really embarrassing.
However, they wouldn’t say anything. Those students only saw Du You’s strength and had no idea that it was almost impossible to achieve such power. Under the care and guidance of the instructors, they would only work hard to move in that direction. Only when they reached the fifth tier in the future would they understand that they had been duped today.
Elsewhere, having finally killed off all the Undead, Du You also stopped. "Let’s rest on the spot." After such a huge battle, they were all extremely tired. But it wasn’t without its benefits.
Du You felt his strength had fully settled, and believed the sisters felt the same. Next, they could look for a chance to break through to the sixth tier. However, they still needed to return to Earth to rest for a while first.
Opening his panel, Du You smiled. "As I thought, although I only grazed by, I still got a sixth-tier treasure chest." Yes, the chest was of the sixth tier.
But the treasure chest wasn’t that valuable, other than a few black Crystal Coins, it unexpectedly gave Du You a blueprint. Dragon Tomb blueprints, though also of the Undead Attribute, were sixth-tier in and of themselves.
"Dragon Tomb? For constructing Bone Dragons or something else? Oh well, we’ll know when we build it." Had no choice, with this blueprint, maybe he realy would have to build an Undead Territory. However, while territories of the Undead Attribute have strong combat capabilities, their output was often not so good and they were highly limited. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
If Du You didn’t already have many other territories, he wouldn’t have considered building such a territory.
After storing the blueprint, Du You began opening orbs, all fifth-tier, for which Du You himself had no more need. After finding them, he stored them one by one, planning to take them back when he returned.
His own Bone Dragon was also making the skeletons clean up the battlefield. Du You would turn all the corpses into Bone Dragons, then take them back and place them in his own territory. No matter how weak, those Bone Dragons would be decent military forces.
At the same time, the large number of Mother Nest crystals here were now his spoils of war.
But as he opened orb after orb, Du You’s eyes suddenly lit up because he found something very valuable: a Death God statue.
"Good luck, to actually come across a territory equipment," Du You said.
Lin Yushi came over and took a look, then disdainfully said, "It’s still of Undead Attribute, huh." Although Lin Yushi was not afraid of the Undead, she didn’t like them either; a territory of the Undead Attribute really didn’t fit with girls’ aesthetic tastes.
"It’s good to have it. This Undead Territory, perhaps we really have to establish it. However, if we are to build it, we need to find a plane that is either Undead or some other evil force; otherwise, we’ll become Demons that everyone wants to crush."
Du You knew that creatures of the Undead were not favored by the mainstream people, whether they were humans or any other species. As long as it was a creature, it generally had an aversion to the Undead. Even on Earth, humans didn’t have a great impression of the Undead. In addition to their poor image, they also made use of taboo corpses.
But this was not completely bereft of advantages. For example, in some special plane worlds, the Undead were no longer taboo.
In contrast, although a territory of the Undead type might look unpleasant, its strength was among the top in all territories. Generally, same-tier territories without special means definitely couldn’t match the strength of Undead Attribute ones.
Storing the Death God statue, Du You continued opening orbs. This time the haul of blue Crystal Coins was substantial. After some thought, he decided to send them back for the development of his territories. Once he reached the sixth tier, what they would need were black Crystal Coins.
After waiting a night in Black Fog Canyon, at early dawn the following day, the Academy’s vanguard army was the first to arrive.
"Student Du You, we have come here to take over Black Fog Canyon. Do you have any orders?"
Du You waved his hand: "Nothing much. There’s no use for me keeping this place; do as you please." After a night of organization, Du You had turned all useable corpses into skeletons, which he then transformed into Bone Dragons.
