Chapter 171: Chapter 171

Now, he had seven skills, one of which was 8-star, and the rest were 10-star, along with two professions.

To upgrade to level 7 limit, 476 Crystal Coins were needed for the skills, and 140 Crystal Coins for the two professions. The total was 616 Crystal Coins.

As his power increased, the cost of Crystal Coins for each level-up was becoming higher and higher.

No wonder some people never reached high levels in their lifetime, such a cost, even those with lower star ratings can’t bear it.

Du You originally didn’t plan to level up right away, he wanted to first find a suitable Giant Beast, make it his own summoned creature, and then enhance his other strengths.

But now it was impossible, if he didn’t level up, it would be difficult to survive here.

So, after a long indecision, Du You finally bit the bullet and enhanced his level. Once the level was upgraded, to achieve corresponding combat effectiveness, he had to take every skill to its peak.

Only in this way, could his strength truly grow, instead of just a superficial improvement.

After absorbing a large number of Crystal Coins, Du You’s strength once again got greatly elevated.

"From now on, I am an advanced Awakener, and it’s less advantageous to kill ordinary monsters."

Du You sighed helplessly, luckily, the giant beasts in this world benefit him a lot. The Crystal Coins obtained by killing the giant beasts were considerably abundant, and there were countless giant beasts above level 7 here.

Du You walked to the cave, but came out as soon as he entered.

"Damn, this bear has no hygiene." As soon as he entered the cave, he was smoked out by a foul smell.

Inside the cave, he could see a mountain of bones, leftovers from the Gray Bear’s meals. Each bone was massive, certainly left by a giant beast.

Eating inside the cave was one thing, but why did it even defecate in the cave? The pile of excrement seemed like a small hill constantly emitting a foul smell, making it impossible for Du You to stay in there.

With no other choice, Du You had to stay outside the cave for the night. Luckily, he brought a collapsible tent, otherwise he would have nowhere else to rest.

The roars from the forest kept coming, interrupting Du You’s sleep. He woke up before dawn and set out, it was impossible to rest in this place.

Fortunately, his increased strength had improved Du You’s overall quality. He only needed a little rest to revive his energy. Holding the probe compass in one hand, Du You cautiously moved forward.

"Judging by these traces, there should be a considerable giant beast ahead. Given the size, it’s unlikely to be level 10. I’ll follow and see." Du You, who was short of Crystal Coins, couldn’t help but follow the tracks left by the giant beast. The result proved that the knowledge the two brothers taught was really useful.

Before long, Du You found his target behind a large boulder.

The gleaming Level 9 label and the giant body confirmed that Du You had not found the wrong target.

It was a beast with a rotund body like a pig, but with a very long neck, as if a snake and a pig were joined together. The long neck could be raised very high.

It could see enemies from a far distance, and eat fruits from high places. When Du You spotted this creature, it was stretching its neck to eat something at the top. Apparently, it was herbivorous.

But Du You didn’t care whether it was herbivorous or not, what he had to do was to kill it first to test his strength.

"Everyone hold back, watch me." Du You asked Xiaozi and the Cursed Crow King to hide. Speaking of it, Du You hasn’t tested the Cursed Crow King’s curse since he came to this world, he’s not sure if it works well on giant beasts.

The curse itself was indeed a type of magic, but the Cursed Crow King used it as an aura.

Du You waved his hand, and the Disintegration Spell, which had been upgraded to level seven, sparkled with a crystal-clear light and shot out. Nowadays, it was faster, too fast for ordinary eyes to keep up with.

The Giant Beast never expected such a small creature daring to attack it, thus being caught off guard.

Countless cracks appeared on the neck of the Giant Beast where it was hit, and blood gushed out. Both the extent and depth of the damage surpassed Du You’s expectations.

"Great, the effect is so good, even if I confront a level 10 giant beast head-on, I still have a chance of winning."

Du You was encouraged, as his power increased, the power of his disintegration spell became stronger. Although magic resistance could alleviate the disintegration spell, which was a kind of rule type spell, its effect was slightly worse. Rule type spells were different from ordinary ones.

The long-necked beast roared in pain as it realized it had been attacked. Its long neck turned suddenly, and it opened its mouth wide towards Du You. The next moment, a black ray shot straight out.

Du You didn’t know what it was and didn’t have time to dodge. Thıs content belongs to 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

Shield Spell, a purple semi-transparent screen instantly appeared in front of him.

"Bang" Something unknown hit the shield, causing Du You to quickly retreat, simultaneously activating his spell again. The Mucus Curse flew towards the beast’s mouth, entering before it closed its mouth.

A large amount of mucus flowed out from the mouth of the long-necked giant beast, and the beast kept rubbing uncomfortably up and down. It seemed to want to extend its claw into its throat and remove the contents.

Apparently, the mucus had sealed the beast’s throat

"What a brainless fool, it just doesn’t know about the beast’s internal magic resistance."

Du You squinted his eyes, his fingers slowly reddening. Fire Snake Curse, a red ray hit the beast’s mouth. Seven fire snakes instantly spread out and the sparks ignited the mucus around the beast’s mouth.

The beast was suffering. Flames were spouting out of the beast’s throat. The beast roared to the sky, like a flamethrower, shooting a large amount of flames from its mouth into the sky. The scene was spectacular, anyone uninformed would think it’s a dragon spewing fire.

However, as the flames were ejected, the breath of the long-necked giant beast became weaker and weaker. When the flames slowly began to diminish, the long-necked beast fell silently.
