Chapter 1377: Chapter 1377

The hidden part of the Magic Network is also called the Dark Web, where the atmosphere is much better compared to the open side of the Magic Network.

In this place, no one would pry or snatch away the mission Du You is about to take, as it is conducted with high security and confidentiality. After accepting the mission, Du You replenished a batch of tier-six Undead Scrolls and then set off.

This is the first time pursuing traitors; admittedly, it does hold a mix of anticipation and nervousness.

Du You rarely interacts with Professionals and even less so battles against them; he mostly relies on his formidable strength while Killing Monsters, so his experience in combat with Professionals isn’t vast. Thus, before this mission, Du You watched many videos of confrontations with traitors. Googlᴇ search 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

To protect Professionals, these videos were processed to obscure the Professionals themselves, but Du You still managed to learn quite a bit from them. At this moment, Du You had already arrived in the target world.

"According to intelligence, these people should be hiding above the Wilderness there. This world is not controlled by Earth, and initially, to avoid Professionals, they did not carry items to build territories, so they couldn’t block this world."

Du You calmly said: "Even the world’s lock relies on Earth’s power, Earth wouldn’t protect a group of traitors."

Lin Yucha nodded, "Master is right, but this also works to our advantage. Although it’s more dangerous over there, with our abilities, we shouldn’t have much trouble. According to intelligence, Luyali and Malosa were quite renowned, both brothers reached tier-six, which is rare anywhere."

"But they are only at the early phase of tier-six, their skills aren’t abundant, just in the common range of tier-six. Despite having followers, they couldn’t be much strong."

While saying this, Lin Yucha continued to browse through some records of their skills.

Earth can seal their panel abilities, preventing them from continuing to upgrade through it, but couldn’t seal their strength. Because their abilities are innate, not belonging to Earth.

Now, although it’s unknown what powers they have obtained from the Demon, based on their fundamental levels, their strength couldn’t have improved much over the years without panel assistance. Even if they upgraded to the late phase of tier-six, their combat capability likely wouldn’t be too strong. Moreover, this is just Du You’s conjecture.

Regarding tier-seven, that’s almost impossible. Without panel support, and considering their limited fundamental strengths, tier-seven isn’t within their reach. And as long as they aren’t tier-seven, Du You feels somewhat confident.

"Let’s go; we’ll find out upon arrival," Du You instructed Lin Yucha to activate the Platform Floating Cloud.

Subsequently, the group flew toward their destination, but when the three of them arrived at that part of The Great Wilderness, they found something odd. "What’s going on here, these are Elves, right?"

Indeed, there was a forest below, and in the forest lived Elves, which was correct.

But the activities of these Elves struck Du You as exceptionally strange.

In front of a stump, an Elf summoned a sprout and then used its power to nurture it consistently, making it grow bigger and bigger. Soon, a small tree appeared, and it wouldn’t take long before it became a large tree.

There was nothing notably odd about this, but what puzzled Du You was that the Elves would allow the large tree to split from the middle upon reaching a certain height, leaving only the stump behind.

Then, the Elves would continue summoning and nurturing, creating new large trees. This seemed as though they were mass-producing lumber, completely out of character for Elves.

Elves from any world hold a deep love for nature and never actively destroy it.

Even though elves’ items are made of wood, they mostly use branches, not trunks. The plants nurtured by Elves are also seldom intentionally broken, but these Elves were doing just that.

When some stumps could no longer summon sprouts, skeletons would come over and dig the stumps up. Indeed, these Elves were accompanied by numerous skeletons, yet not a single one of them was an Undead Mage.

These skeletons were also responsible for transporting the lumber, moving it to the rear.

Lin Yucha reviewed the information and then said, "This is normal; the records say that Malosa has a special ability to turn wood into something similar to bone. Then, he can use these bones to create skeletons, and his most powerful ability is the mass production of Undead Creatures."

"Master, his ability seems more convenient than yours," Lin Yushi commented with a chuckle.

"It is convenient, but these skeletons’ power isn’t very strong. You should know, my skeletons can reach the late tier-three phase," Du You remarked disdainfully.

"But that requires tier-three corpses, and if the corpses are weak, even a five-level boost couldn’t reach tier-three. These skeletons might be weaker, but there are really a lot of them, and not all skeletons are necessarily tier-one."

Lin Yushi was correct; if these skeletons are all tier-one, then this ability wouldn’t be considered powerful. So, the opponent’s skills must have special ways to upgrade the skeletons, perhaps a second skill, or even several skills aiding it. After all, a professional Undead Mage is not the same as using just one skill to its limit.

"Let’s not dwell on this; if these Undead haven’t reached tier-five, they pose no threat to us. We should hurry over and find those enemies," Lin Yucha interrupted the conversation.

"You’re right; following these industrious enemies, we are bound to find their lair."

Saying this, Du You took out a compass, which was given by the person in charge on the Dark Web side. Its purpose is to locate the enemies. It’s unclear how they processed it, but it can display their locations.

The three disguised themselves as a regular cloud, flying high in the sky. As long as they followed the skeletons, they would find them. These people are very cautious, never randomly scattering, clearly aware of the consequences if traitors are captured.

"Good, all forty-six people are here, not a single one missing," Du You counted the light spots on the compass and said.

"But there are many tier-six mighty ones here, though their quality isn’t very high. I can feel the demon aura on them; it’s probable that the people here are either summoned demons or locals who have been demonized," Lin Yucha observed closely below.
