Chapter 162: Chapter 162
Du You, who was initially very confident, found that his self-confidence was completely shattered the moment he entered this world. Now, he was filled with concern, something he hadn’t experienced in a long while.
Along the way, Du You encountered a large number of giant beasts, as many as ten or more, which caused him to sometimes question whether they chose not to attack him not because they didn’t notice him, but rather because he didn’t seem appetizing enough to them.
Being too small to provide a substantial meal, the giant beasts simply had no interest in him.
Suddenly, Xiaozi sent a message: "What, there are traces left by someone ahead?" After retracing and guessing, Du You finally understood what Xiaozi was trying to communicate, suddenly brimming with excitement.
"Great, let’s find people first. As long as we find people, we’ll understand what to do next."
At that moment, the bush shook and a dark figure charged towards him. Without a second thought, Du You shot a Disintegration Spell at it. It was only after seeing what attacked him that he realized it was a giant insect.
The insect, about the size of a Land Dog, was a large black beetle, which was split into several pieces under his Disintegration Spell. In this world of giant beasts, everything was enormous, even the insects.
Moreover, these creatures differed significantly from the dinosaurs in the dinosaur world. The dinosaur’s magic resistance was very low, but not these insects.
As for whether this was the case with all of them, Du You was unsure. Regardless, he needed to find humans first, or at least figure out what his actual target was.
His findings led him to understand that all creatures below level 7 were insects, without any exception.
It was only after he encountered a creature resembling a large rabbit that Du You realized it was a giant beast.
"No matter, I’ll deal with the mission first." Du You approached the giant rabbit stealthily. Suddenly, the rabbit turned its head and glared in Du You’s direction. "Has it discovered me?"
Du You inwardly cursed, prepared to retreat, but the level 7 rabbit immediately turned and ran without hesitation. It stopped after a while to glance back at him.
"Really, this rabbit is more cunning than any other rabbit from different worlds, even though it is a level 7 creature, equivalent to a high-level Awakener." Du You grieved at the over two meters tall rabbit.
The rabbit, seemingly finding no danger, eventually settled down again to graze.
However, this made Du You more vigilant. If even such a high-level rabbit is so cautious, it means this world is far from safe, much more dangerous than he anticipated.
Du You once again crept closer to the rabbit, this time with even more caution, striving not to make any noise at all.
When he was close enough, a light flashed in Du You’s right hand, and he released a Mucus Swamp. The rabbit dodged in the nick of time, but the spell had a broad range.
The rabbit had just dodged when it was slowed down by the expanding mucus. The next moment, six Disintegration Spells flew out, all striking the giant rabbit.
What surprised Du You was that three Disintegration Spells hitting the rabbit’s leg only resulted in numerous cracks. The other three spells caused skin ruptures and continuous blood flow.
"This is my 10-star skill, launched with six spells at once. Yet a rabbit withstands it? It seems these beasts indeed have a high magic resistance." Du You’s face turned serious; he was too rash this time.
Nevertheless, he had to kill the rabbit in front of him. Du You aimed at the rabbit’s head without hesitation and fired another six spells. However, the giant rabbit turned its head promptly and clenched his teeth to accurately bite and smash four disintegration spells.
Some people had broken his spells before, but this was the first time he saw someone bite it with their teeth. It was an eye-opening experience.
The next two spells, one hit the rabbit’s teeth, knocking it back, and the other hit its nose, causing its nose to burst open on the spot. The rabbit let out a scream, the sound was strangely deep and weird.
This was not a time to be kind to small animals. Du You fired a Mucus Curse at the rabbit’s wide-open mouth. The viscous mucus disabled the rabbit’s mouth, sticking its head together. Most importantly, it poisoned the rabbit from its mouth.
The rabbit swallowed a large amount of mucus, its entire face turning green. Du You mercilessly cast spell after spell. After three consecutive rounds of six Disintegration Spells, he finally broke the rabbit’s resistance. Breaking through its defense, the spells took effect one after another, smashing the rabbit’s head. A giant beast had finally been killed.
Looking at the completed task prompt, Du You let out a sigh of relief.
Completing the main task meant that he could either attack or defend next, giving him much more freedom in his actions. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
At that moment, a dark shadow darted out from the bushes, swiftly swallowing the dead rabbit with its mucus and poison. It was a huge black snake, its icy eyes staring at him.
"Level 13, I can’t afford to offend that." Du You felt a chill in his heart and then began to retreat quietly.
The giant snake did not attack Du You. Perhaps his performance in the previous battle made the snake think he was not a threat. Most importantly, he was too small. By comparison, the rabbit was several times larger than him.
If a rabbit was enough to suffice, it was best for him to get going.
Quickly getting away from the snake, Du You ran for a while and finally found a road.
"Only humans should be able to construct a stone road." Finally seeing a normal road, Du You felt excited as if he had returned to the human world. He continued down the road.
After walking for more than half a day, Du You saw the silhouette of a city from afar.
Du You picked up his pace. When he reached the city, he was taken aback by its grandeur. "This city wall, it’s about fifty meters high. Is there a need to build it so high?" Du You silently calculated the height of the city wall.
"What are you doing? Hurry in, don’t loiter outside."
Suddenly, a small door beside the main gate opened, and two heads peeked out, urgently yelling at him. Du You quickly nodded and ran over. "Thank you."
Du You was secretly shocked. The two seemingly ordinary city guards had strengths equal to level 10, which was simply unbelievable.
