Chapter 170: Chapter 170

Flames were suddenly split apart, a cold radiance came piercing straight through.

Without much thought, Du You instinctively materialized a light purple shield right in front of him; the Shield Spell.

"Boom", the Shield Spell was hit by the cold radiance. Du You finally got a clear look; it was a massive trident. Unfortunately, the Shield Spell was too solid, it blocked the trident allowing it no forward progress.

The immense power only made the Spell flicker for a few moments, then it fell and the shield disappeared.

"That was close, if I didn’t had the defensive Spell, it would have been dangerous. This bastard is ruthless enough to counterattack at a time ." Du You patted his chest.

In the middle of the flame, the Gray Bear roared continually, the surrounding flames scattered rapidly.

Both the Giant Beast and the Giant Beast Hunters were potent in terms of poison resistance, but humans couldn’t compare to beasts. They must have been poisoned somehow. After the flames dispersed, Du You could see two total black figures.

Their bodies were obviously shape-shifting, they suffered such severe injuries, survival was impossible.

Ya Lie no longer had the trident in his hand, so the one who attacked him must have been Ya Lie.

The Gray Bear wasn’t dead yet. Its body was covered in pitch black, but that was from smoke. As a Giant Beast, it has a high magic resistance, this kind of flame wasn’t causing it too much harm.

Yet, after fighting for such a long time and losing too much blood, the Gray Bear was also struggling to hold on.

"Now it’s my turn," Du You thought and Xiaozi in the sky started to fight back.

Nine Thunder Light Orbs fell from the sky in an instant, lightning flashed, it made the Gray Bear constantly kneel. Unfortunately, the effect wasn’t great. "I forgot, this thing has a high magic resistance."

Du You slapped his forehead, carefully observing the Gray Bear that was roaring up at the sky. Suddenly, Du You smiled because he noticed the wounds on the Gray Bear’s body. "The wound should be a different matter."

There was still the effect of medicine on these wounds. Du You’s Spell instantly ignited, the Disintegration Spell went directly into the wounds of the Gray Bear. The tearing effect of the Disintegration Spell wasn’t clear, but it still made the wounds bigger. The potion flowed, making it impossible for the expanded wound to stop bleeding and it didn’t seem to hurt much.

Xiaozi was luring the Gray Bear from the sky, attracting its attention, while Du You was carefully bleeding it out from the shadows.

Finally, after another half an hour, the Gray Bear could no longer hold on. Due to too much blood loss, the Gray Bear’s body was extremely weak, and it finally fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and couldn’t get up again.

Du You feared that the Gray Bear was playing dead and didn’t dare to approach since he didn’t have the Light Ball in his hand yet.

From a distance, Du You continuously stimulated the Disintegration Spell, attacking the Gray Bear who wouldn’t move. Each Spell hit the Gray Bear’s head. After a few times, cracks appeared on the Gray Bear’s head, revealing its brain.

In the end, even the brain was shattered. Now it must be dead for sure. Looking at his personal space, there was a Light Ball.

"It’s a pity, if I had killed it alone, I could have used it as material for my Summoned Beast." Du You shook his head. He was mainly looking for a Summoned Beast that served as a meat shield. The Giant Beast is the best in that regard, especially this huge bear, which is bigger and not very mobile, but its defense and magic resistance are much stronger than those of other beasts of the same level.

Otherwise, his Disintegration Spell wouldn’t have been so ineffective.

"It seems I need to level up. At my present level, I would have a hard time dealing with a 9th level Giant Beast alone. Even if I use those things against a 10th level Giant Beast, I might not succeed."

The dangers of the Beast World are more serious than Du You thought. He looked at the Crystal Coins in his hand and thought he could level up first, and then accumulate the number of Summoned Beasts.

He picked up the trident on the ground.

Heavy Trident: Sharpness 10, Armor Piercing, Bleeding (Bright, unequipped)

The thing is good, it is of Bright level, with a sharpness of 10, and that’s the graduation-level equipment for the Awakener. Unfortunately, it’s too heavy; Du You could hardly hold it up with both hands. Such a thing is a burden, let alone using it.

Du You calculated that even after leveling up, he might not be able to use it. This weapon specialized for Giant Beasts is not within his reach. Helplessly, Du You threw it away.

Approaching the two men who had been dead for a while, Du You began his search. He was sure the two were dead because of the reminder from the contract. If the object of the contract dies, the effect of the contract is gone.

The corner of Du You’s mouth curled up, "Hmm, you two tried to play me, but guess what, I got you first. I’m the Prince of Backstabbing. I wonder what treasures you have on you." Du You began to search.

They had quite many common things, which were of no value. The only things that caught Du You’s eye were four scrolls. Two of them were slave contracts, and the other two were equal contracts.

Unfortunately, they were all unequipped items, and each contract required five hundred Crystal Coins to transform. Fortunately, it didn’t specify that they needed to be untraded, any kind would do. Du You still had quite a few Crystal Coins in hand.

Two thousand white Crystal Coins it is. Du You began the transformation.

Slave Contract: Voluntarily or forcefully signed, one party becomes the chattel slave of the other unconditionally. The slave must obey all orders of the master. The slave dies if the master dies.

Temporary Team Contract: Transformed from an equal contract, teaming up with other people, entering the Derived World or Outer World will form a small team, missions will change to team missions, single-use item.

Never thought that after the Equal Contract was transformed, it’d turn into this. Unsure if it’s because the rules didn’t recognize Equal Contract or because it’s not much use to Professionals.

No matter, after sorting out the loot, Du You planned to rest here for the night. The forest at night was dangerous.

Unfortunately, because two people were involved, the Gray Bear was killed and apart from the Crystal Coins, he didn’t get anything valuable.

Starting now, he was on his own again. Taking out the detection compass, he examined the surroundings. He prepared several alert traps around him. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩

Starting tomorrow, armed with knowledge from the two brothers, his detection compass, and his Spiritual Perception skills, he believed as long as he was careful, there would be no danger in this forest full of Giant Beasts.

Then it was time to level up. Du You took out the Crystal Coins reluctantly and started absorbing and merging them one by one, his strength was steadily increasing.
