Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278

After several days of flight, the Bone Dragon finally approached the Corpse Beast Plain. Along the way, they saw some flying Undead Creatures, but most avoided them from a long distance. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

In the Undead World, the greatest survival wisdom is to lay low. When encountering an Undead Creature stronger than oneself, don’t think about gaining any advantages; the key is to quickly dodge and flee.

Of course, there were some that felt their power was greater than that of the Bone Dragon and wanted to snatch an easy victory. But before they could get close, Du You killed them from afar with a Dark Flame Arrow, and their bodies fell without a trace to be found on the ground.

Du You now used the Dark Flame Arrow Array, and he was able to reduce the number of arrows released. Nowadays, he could also unleash a single arrow.

However, this method of use was not as effortless as when Lin Yushi used it, after all, she was the real expert in archery. Du You felt that once he broke through to the sixth tier, it would become extremely easy and natural.

As the Bone Dragon landed, it immediately provoked attacks from many local Corpse Beasts. Du You and the two sisters quickly cleared the surroundings, and then Du You summoned a large number of Demonic Flame Skeletons. "In this place, you shouldn’t release the Demon Extermination Spirit; it could easily cause trouble," Du You had said to Lin Yushi before, so she did not use the Demon Extermination Spirit ability.

Demonic Flame Skeletons could still be considered a special type of Mutated Undead, but the Demon Extermination Power inherent in Demon Extermination Spirits was too suspicious to be explained away. If released, it would make them enemies of both Undead and Demons.

"Master, you clean up here; I’ll go scout around," Lin Yucha said before gradually disappearing from sight. Meanwhile, Du You and Lin Yushi began to clear the area.

Although it was a plain, there was actually no need for clearing. Contrary to expectations, the Netherworld was not devoid of plants; mutated plants grew everywhere. It should be known that plants have a much stronger adaptability than animals.

Many bizarre black or gray plants nearby had aggressive qualities. Even many of the plants could be used as special herbs if taken back, but here in the Netherworld, they were mere weeds.

Du You had some Demonic Flame Skeletons clear the weeds around, while the rest advanced and hunted the Corpse Beasts of the area. An initial reason for choosing this place was because of the countless Corpse Beasts here. In one day, Du You summoned a large number of Demonic Flame Skeletons, leaving a hundred thousand of them and sacrificing the rest.

Then Du You had five more Bone Dragons at his side, making a total of six, in addition to the one he already had. He still had other Bone Dragons sealed on him, but looking at the current situation, there was no need to release them.

The fact that Du You had landed here would have been known by other intelligent Undead Creatures around by now.

"It’s really strange; aren’t most tier-four Undead supposed to be somewhat intelligent? How come these Corpse Beasts have no intelligence at all?" Du You couldn’t help muttering after hunting some tier-four Corpse Beasts.

"Maybe it’s because of the special environment of this world," Lin Yushi ventured, somewhat unsure.

Unlike Lin Yucha, Lin Yushi rarely read so extensively and was more prone to playfulness.

Another day later, Lin Yucha returned after thoroughly scouting the surroundings.

"How is it? Is there any trouble on this plain?" Du You asked, though he had been somewhat worried while Lin Yucha was out scouting due to the dangerous nature of this world.

Lin Yucha shook her head: "Master, just as you thought, there really isn’t any Undead around here that would bother with us. My scouting revealed that there are a dozen small territories established by tier-four Undead and three medium territories by tier-five Undead. As for tier-six Undead Creatures, I haven’t seen any."

"Moreover, there are quite a few tier-five Corpse Beasts on the plain, so those tier-five Undead territories don’t dare to expand too much, their power isn’t very strong. However, besides the battlefield and the chaotic lands nearby, one side close to us is a tier-six Undead territory," Lin Yucha reported on her scouting of the plain.

Du You waved his hand dismissively, "It’s fine, this region is big enough to accommodate a tier-six territory for us. Once our territory is upgraded to tier-six, a mere tier-six Undead will be nothing."

This was the confidence of a lord, with Earth as his backing and a special, powerful territory; Du You really didn’t care about a mere tier-six Undead. Moreover, by then, he might be able to break through to the sixth tier as well.

Even if he had not yet condensed the rule power of the sixth tier, with his own formidable skills alone, he would be able to battle without falling behind. With the three of them together, victory was not impossible.

Since they had already scouted the area, Du You didn’t hesitate any longer and took out a stone tablet and buried it in the ground. This stone tablet was the Lord’s Monument. After burying it, the territory was successfully established.

The reason for using the Lord’s Monument instead of the territory contract was that although they had similar functions, the Lord’s Monument was too large and took up more space. On the contrary, the territory contract item was very small.

Du You established his territory right in the central part of the plain, which was the position determined after the previous scouting. Not far away was a territory of a tier-five Undead; on another side, there were two tier-five Corpse Beasts.

It might seem risky to settle at the vertex, but Du You was confident that his own strength meant that the enemies nearby wouldn’t be able to halt his progress. After burying the Lord’s Monument, what followed was waiting for the monster siege. In this place, there would only be some Undead Creatures, and nothing else could possibly appear.

Indeed, three days later, Du You faced the monster siege as a multitude of Undead Creatures charged over. Unfortunately for them, Du You had already cleared the area, creating a large number of Demonic Flame Skeletons and Bone Dragons.

Dozens of Bone Dragons along with the Demonic Flame Skeletons easily annihilated all the Undead that came to attack them.

But in the end, Du You frowned and said, "I didn’t expect that tier-four Undead would appear in the siege; if these aren’t local tier-four Undead attracted here, then that’s interesting."

"Yes, Master. The appearance of tier-four Undead in a newly-established territory implies that this world’s resistance is really significant, and the world’s level is not low. Perhaps, it could reach tier-eight as well."

The higher the world’s tier, the greater the intensity of the monster siege. Du You had not caused any big commotion, but the appearance of tier-four monsters in the siege was telling.

Afterwards, Du You didn’t ponder it further. It was just a tier-four Undead after all; he didn’t take it to heart.
