Chapter 1740: Chapter 1740
People in the Undead World are the most sensitive to such situations. Recently, more and more people have been coming to the Undead World. This kind of appeal is useful not only to six-tier experts.
The fact that six-tier experts value this world indicates its significant utility. Those who originally valued this world have arrived one after another. The connection point set by Du You is getting busier and busier.
Every day, a large number of people come and go around this place. Finally, because of the crowd, a city had to be built here. And one city wasn’t enough; a continuous line of a dozen cities was constructed in this area to meet everyone’s needs.
These cities aren’t just inhabited by Professionals but also by many Undead Creatures.
What Du You didn’t expect was that even some ordinary people migrated to this place. It is clear that they plan to rely on him and eventually become the local human residents of this Undead World.
For all of this, Du You could only say, "Come one, come all." Since they wanted to come in, he accepted them. To help these people survive better, Shaliya organized people to start transforming the environment and planting vegetation in this world. Places with vegetation suppress the birth of Undead Creatures but can benefit the general Living Beings.
Du You didn’t anticipate that such actions would actually attract attacks from the surrounding Undead.
So every now and then, a drama of the Undead attacking the city would play out. In these dramas, a large number of Undead would emerge, becoming even more powerful entities.
Similarly, many Professionals would gain benefits, and it’s not uncommon for some Undead to become Professionals during battles.
The most troublesome are the areas where the seven-tier Undead Death Gods are located. During this period, people have been sneaking over here constantly. Those with insufficient hiding abilities are quickly discovered.
If a six-tier is discovered by a seven-tier, there’s no need to think too much; they don’t even have a chance to escape. Until now, only one instance of escape has occurred, because on that day, the Death God was in a good mood and deliberately let them off.
The others can only be considered unlucky, as they all died in this place.
Those with excellent hiding capabilities launched a series of attack and defense battles with the Death Gods. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
As time passed, news of Undead Death Gods being seriously injured would occasionally surface. The eighth-tier Undead were also happy to see this, as the heavily injured Undead would eventually join their ranks.
For the wounded, they couldn’t possibly accept another assassination. At the seven-tier level, recovering after being injured is not easy. Undead aren’t creatures good at healing; although their recovery speed is fast, it still takes time.
Even for Professionals, without Healing Skills, recovering after being injured is troublesome.
Undead Death Gods without the time to wait had no choice but to join the forces of the larger Undead Main Gods. Some also joined Du You’s forces, making Du You an indirect beneficiary.
This situation continued for a year. A year later, the feat of hunting down seven-tier Death Gods reappeared.
This time, some people set up an ambush on the escape route of an injured Death God, managing to kill them using some method to control the Undead around the Death God. In this way, they could learn the specific route of the Death God’s movement.
This remarkable feat happened twice in half a month, shocking Du You.
Unfortunately, one of the successful hunters failed to advance. At the critical moment, they suddenly realized their foundation was insufficient, ending up stuck at a tier infinitely close to the seventh; due to personal reasons, they couldn’t progress further. Such situations are lamentable but not uncommon, as many had faced similar issues in the past.
Previously, those who advanced to the seventh tier often got stuck at this point.
This is why, at low levels, people continually emphasize not learning skills not belonging to one’s profession and to ensure a solid foundation and improve one’s star level.
Any lack in any aspect would lead to future regrets. For those who can advance to the seventh tier, while not achieving perfection, at least there won’t be significant flaws.
Those who pursue short-term strength are unlikely to progress far on the path of the Professional.
However, while one failed, another succeeded. When Du You received this news, he was surprised. Three seven-tier Death Gods had been hunted down on his side, producing two seventh-tier Professionals.
It’s important to know that mature Professionals surpass native Death Gods in combat prowess.
"Not bad, indeed, not bad. This could be considered a contribution. Next, those Death Gods will have to choose sides."
In the past, they would escape after getting injured and join other major forces. Now, this isn’t the case; after getting injured, they might not even have the chance to run. Clearly, Professionals have found new methods.
Moreover, once someone breaks through, they likely won’t keep their methods secret but sell them at a good price. After all, just having broken through, they need to quickly replenish their resources and foundation.
"Instruct below to tighten vigilant. I’m worried some might take desperate actions and directly target the Death Gods under our command."
This concern wasn’t baseless; recently, Du You noticed someone secretly investigating his Death Gods. Although no one dared to take action yet, it doesn’t mean no one would dare in the future.
Among the Professionals, there are many audacious individuals, and the stronger they are, the bolder they become.
"Master, we have identified the person who leaked the information back then."
Du You frowned, "Who did it? They hid so well that it took this long to find out."
Lin Yucha, with a resigned laugh, said, "It wasn’t someone from our territory. To be precise, it was the Death Gods themselves. We found out it was all orchestrated by the Corpse King back then."
"The Corpse King? I never expected it to be him." Du You understood that this guy wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to benefit and learn about the Professional’s information. At the same time, he might have already envisioned this, using it to force some Death Gods to join him. It was really a clever scheme.
No wonder it took so long to find out; no one ever thought it would be the locals behind it. All along, people had targeted those within their territory, never suspecting that such a thing could be done by locals.
"Forget it. Since we’ve found out, that’s fine. Let the people below be careful in the future. Just let them be aware of such things so that they won’t be framed by the local Death Gods in the future."
