Chapter 1361: Chapter 1361
The atmosphere on the frontline was starkly different from that of other worlds. Upon arriving here, Du You felt a tense and solemn air. People rushed about, showing little interest in conversation.
However, Du You also noticed that there seemed to be less wariness among the people here.
"Master, are there a lot of people from other alliances in this place?" Lin Yushi whispered quietly.
Du You nodded slightly: "It seems to be as they said, but we still need to observe before we can come to a conclusion."
At a glance, not only were there members of the Asia Alliance here, but also Caucasians and Africans. Each spoke their own language, and they communicated quite smoothly using their panels for translation, even frequently forming teams with each other.
In this place, there appeared to be no hostility between races or nationalities, only cooperation.
If not for the immense external pressure, such camaraderie would be impossible. After all, everyone had risen from ordinary Professionals; previously, relationship among them was not good.
Du You was even certain that there were people here who had once been adversaries, possibly bearing enmities. He had personally witnessed two individuals exchanging looks, the hatred in their eyes thick enough to spread.
Yet in the end, nobody said anything, everyone was restraining themselves. This kind of behavior made Du You even more cautious about the state of the frontline. Even if this world had a cap at tier seven, what about other worlds?
"Don’t think too much about it now, let’s first understand this world. We still don’t know what the Dark Clan is really like."
Indeed, they had never encountered the Dark Clan before; after all, not every world was plagued with Demons and the Undead, where they were everywhere. The Undead had even broken through the boundaries of some worlds, not exclusive to certain types of worlds. In many worlds with special abilities, the Undead could be seen.
Soon, Du You arrived at the mission assignment location. All missions were displayed on a large screen, and there were smaller screens that you could use to investigate or accept missions.
On the side, there were also various items specifically for expeditions, with signal flares being the most important.
"What are these signal flares for?" Lin Yucha asked directly.
"You’re new here, aren’t you? Everyone else knows what these are used for."
Lin Yucha remained silent, so the person beside her continued: "These are for calling for help. The range of the signal flare is vast and the intensity high; people from great distances can sense it. If you encounter danger, do not hesitate to use the signal flare immediately. And this large one here, this is used when encountering a tier seven expert."
"But after using this, you better pray for your own fortune. Rarely can someone encounter an opposing tier seven and live to return. Also, this right here is for communication."
The service personnel attached a special patch to their arms. "In this world, ordinary communication is unreliable. The panel’s communication range is too short; we all use this, whether it’s for your teammates or us, use this for communication."
Such strict defensive measures imply that the enemy is no simple foe.
Du You looked around, in addition to these essential items, there were also disposable scrolls and fast recovery potions. Such things were usually used for bursts of power, which Du You seldom used.
However, for this operation, Du You had prepared quite a few items, such as the scrolls sealing tier six Undead, of which he had brought quite a few. Should they encounter an irresistible force, they would be used immediately.
"It’s strange, wasn’t it the academy that invited us here? Why has everyone gone, and no one has come to form a team with us?"
Du You looked around and, as Lin Yushi said, the people from the academy had indeed left.
After thinking for a bit, Du You said: "Perhaps the academy only came to invite us to join the frontline this time. As long as we have the mindset to fight for Earth, that’s enough. As for forming teams, the three of us are about right."
Here, aside from special circumstances, it was rare to see teams with a large number of members; typically, they consisted of five to ten people.
While they were only three people, their strength was formidable at their level. After picking up some essential items, Du You quickly selected a mission.
"Let’s go with this one. This place isn’t near the very front, and tier seven experts rarely appear. Our task is to clear out the Dark Clan here, expand our influence, and security is ensured."
Du You wasn’t the type of person who believed himself invincible; in such a dangerous world, his first priority wasn’t to gain advantages but to ensure safety, which was in his character.
The two sisters nodded; they did not object, for what the master said was always correct.
"Good, a wise choice. Many people rush to the frontlines on their first visit to the battlefield. If they don’t retreat in time, the likelihood of death is high; each year, there are quite a number of such people. Your choice shows great self-awareness."
Du You ignored what that person was saying, and left with the two sisters. The others only gave them a glance, with no other thoughts. In such a place, everyone consciously maintained the rules, not laying hands on other Professionals. Because not maintaining the rules could endanger not just oneself, but potentially cause the entire battlefield to collapse.
Du You had seen, at the rear, a series of five tier six territories lined up together, even with large overlapping areas of their boundaries.
Such an arrangement wasn’t conducive for the development of territories, but it could maximize the density of troops and shrink the defensive area. Facing such arranged enemy forces, one could imagine their strength.
Taking his two sisters, Du You flew towards the predetermined location.
"This is it, a Grand Canyon, a landmark area. Wait, I think I see the Dark Clan."
Du You’s eyes narrowed slightly. At the entrance of the canyon on a cliff, a creature covered in black stood - the feature of the Dark Clan was just . It looked like a long-haired gorilla, composed entirely of dark elemental power.
"How strange, why isn’t it called the dark element clan but the Dark Clan?" Lin Yushi also sensed this power.
Lin Yucha, frowning, said: "It might not just consist of elements; there seems to be something special inside." As her feeling wasn’t very clear, Lin Yucha didn’t dare to jump to conclusions.
"Never mind that, let’s take it down first and figure out what’s going on." The power of the gorilla below was only at the peak of tier four. In this world, on this battlefield, it was essentially cannon fodder. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
