Chapter 1701: Chapter 1701
"Master, something’s really off with the situation here," Lin Yucha said, furrowing her brow. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
Xi Qianxue began to analyze as well: "Although it’s our first time coming here, we have looked into the situation here before. Indeed, something is not right. The number of outsiders we encountered seems unusually high."
Du You nodded and said, "It’s a lot. Even though we haven’t been here before, we did mingle in the tier-seven regions. Now the density of outsiders in the tier-seven regions is too high. The number of tier-seven existences is probably five to ten times what it was last time."
The reason it’s not certain is that Du You has no way to specifically quantify it and can only roughly estimate.
Ten tier-seven undead that were created have already investigated everywhere. And because these undead were made by Du You, as long as they’re within one world without special shielding, Du You can receive their information.
After roughly calculating, this data proportion is indeed very terrifying.
"Previously, we heard about the border areas between tier-eight and tier-seven regions, where tier-eight powerhouses are rarely encountered. But now, we’ve already come across several. It feels as if the tier-eight regions are expanding."
Even the usually carefree Lin Yushi noticed something was wrong.
"It’s not expansion; it’s because they don’t understand the situation here either. Judging by their looks, they’re clearly probing the situation here," Lin Yucha observed cautiously along the way.
"Moreover, it appears the number of these powerhouses is still increasing. I can’t imagine what’s happening. Clearly, many of them don’t even know the coordinates of this world."
Even though this world is public, it’s not like coordinates are sent everywhere. Those who know simply know, and those who don’t have no way of knowing. Earth knows, but Earth definitely won’t send coordinates randomly. Earth strictly controls the coordinates of various worlds, only allowing internal circulation.
If others obtained the exploded world coordinates, it’s basically impossible to crack them.
Suddenly, Li Mengyao spoke, "Right, the mission also said the number of powerhouses here is off. They didn’t know before, so could it be someone’s deliberately telling them?"
Du You furrowed his brow: "But what good does it do them to divulge this world’s coordinates? It’s not good for anyone. This world is very important; it can aid cultivation advancement from tier-seven to even tier-eight. If there are too many people, with massive hunts of the natives and continued destruction, this world might be on the brink of extinction."
They’re equally puzzled. Such an important resource site wouldn’t be casually disclosed.
As for dealing with Earth, that’s even less likely. Because this world is not exclusive to Earth. On the contrary, due to this world’s uniqueness and danger, the proportion of Earth’s Professionals coming here isn’t high.
Most tier-sevens would rather choose safer places than risk coming to this world.
Professionals from Earth have so many choices, there’s no need to come to a place where death could occur anytime.
"Anyway, we should continue investigating, but this time the focus is on who leaked the news."
Du You said this and then led his people into questioning. Of course, Du You wouldn’t do it directly, just indirectly probing. Usually, it’s done through fighting and then asking questions during the battle.
Bringing along a few tier-sevens is even more normal, as they’re just accompanying his comrades. The Law manifests during a battle; as long as safety is not an issue, tier-sevens nearby can gain more. If the battle involves similar attributes, the benefits for them are even greater.
Many people know of this situation, but few can actually do it. Wasting the effort of tier-eight to help tier-seven, who would be foolish enough to do such a thing? A careless move could even affect one’s self.
But he does these things and they can’t say anything, perhaps it’s because the relationships are good.
Du You has concerns, but the undead have none. With so many tier-sevens in this world, just hunting some can be used to create tier-seven undead. For Du You, it’s merely wasting some time.
So whether the undead die, Du You doesn’t care. These created undead only have the master’s orders in mind, and like ordinary undead, they don’t care about their life or death, which is unlike typical tier-seven undead.
After going out, these guys immediately inquire. While the risk is greater, meaning they’re more likely to die, the gains are also more significant. Gradually, Du You began to sort out the information obtained.
"According to current information, these messages first spread within one world. When many people in that world know, then for some reason, the information spreads to other worlds, continuing to disseminate."
"This viral expansion method makes it difficult to figure out who’s behind it. But I’m sure someone is fueling the spread; otherwise, this wouldn’t happen in every world. Many worlds’ upper classes definitely wouldn’t let such important information spread."
Indeed, according to their information, this message is not only spreading among the upper class in those worlds but many ordinary people know as well. In many places, ordinary people knew first.
They talk about these things like myths and legends, but where they learned it from is impossible to trace. They can only gather multiple pieces of information to analyze, in hopes of obtaining the specific situation.
"This message is beyond what we can thoroughly investigate. The force behind arranging such a large setup is definitely not simple; it might be a powerful world. Better send the information back first."
Upon hearing Li Mengyao’s words, Du You nodded slightly: "That should be done. Also, if you encounter danger, leave here immediately. If it becomes untenable, we’ll leave too."
More and more tier-eights are getting involved. Even Du You cannot guarantee he won’t encounter danger.
With his current strength, even combining everyone’s abilities and his own skills, at most he can contend with late tier-eight but the chances of winning aren’t high. If encountering a powerhouse among late tier-eight, he’s not an opponent.
Among tier-eight, each tier’s gap is actually greater; Du You can sense this from previous battles.
