Chapter 1770: Chapter 1770

Xi Qianxue and her two companions easily dealt with the enemy, but the situation was not the same for others. Although they used Du You’s undead as cover, the losses were much less this time, but not completely avoided.

Several days later, as Du You was walking outside, he saw someone carrying a corpse back.

The person returning looked mournful, as their family’s tier-seven strongman had perished, further weakening their own strength. In this family, he was their only tier-seven, so the family’s standing would decline.

Those they had offended before would certainly start to retaliate, the situation was grim.

At this moment, Du You stepped forward and said, "Is this a dead tier-seven, and is the body still intact?"

The person looked at Du You warily: "My Lord, this is the ancestor of our family, who died in battle against the Beastmen. We are preparing to take him back for burial."

This is a rule among Professionals on Earth; deceased high-level professionals are not used as materials but are taken back for burial. If someone were to use them as materials and it became known, it would be troublesome.

There’s no help for it, as mainstream thought dictates, no one dares to easily destroy this rule.

However, Du You’s strength was too formidable, being among the top tier of tier-eight. These people, no matter how angry, dared not offend him. Even when facing Du You, they spoke softly. People standing by watched Du You’s actions, but no one dared to voice objections or offer criticism.

"Then, may I take a look?" Du You pointed at the corpse.

Their faces changed; they thought Du You wanted to use their tier-seven strongman’s body as material. After all, to create a tier-seven undead, Du You needed a tier-seven strongman’s body. Googlᴇ search 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

Perhaps he had run out before, and now he had set his sights on this?

It was because Du You’s undead summoning skill was too deeply ingrained in people’s minds. Many who were not familiar with Du You believed his second profession was Undead Mage, specializing in undead summoning.

"My Lord, this might not be appropriate. Our ancestor had contributed to the Alliance and Earth."

"Indeed, it does not comply with regulations, Dark King Your Majesty, if you use it, it will give rise to unpleasant thoughts from others." Though this was put quite tactfully, the meaning was clear.

The onlookers mostly thought the same, but facing a tier-eight force they felt powerless, only able to watch.

Du You did not wait to explain, but suddenly a pinnacle tier-six person from within the family stepped forward and said: "My Lord, we are willing to offer our ancestor’s body for the great cause of humanity. I believe the ancestor would not object."

Others stared in amazement at this family head, not understanding what had caused this sudden madness.

Before anyone could speak, the family head glared at them and said, "Our family is in a precarious position now. We hope you can protect us for a while."

People finally understood what the family head was thinking. They were using their own ancestor’s body to secure a protector. Originally, the family was going to be in great danger, but with Du You’s protection, even just a verbal promise, who would dare to trouble them.

Taking advantage of this time, they would use collected resources to cultivate family members. As long as another tier-seven appears, the family’s crisis would be resolved. Truly, the family head was the most thoughtful of them all.

The others exchanged glances. Eventually, a few elders were the first to express agreement, and others could only follow. Those who didn’t understand were pulled back by their families.

Du You chuckled to himself, these folks really considered him an evil undead mage.

"I don’t intend to use the body, but to revive. Forget it, let me take a look first."

Ignoring their opinions, Du You stepped forward to check. The body was indeed very intact, only eroded by foreign laws. It was no small feat to preserve such an intact body at the hands of the ferocious Beastmen.

Then, Du You extended his hand, forming a black Light Ball. Many around wanted to stop him, but after a bit of hesitation, they ultimately held back. Tears flowed from many, looking at Du You with resentment.

Du You disregarded this, tossing the Dark Resurrection directly. A moment later, it dispelled all alien laws from the body, which began to recover. In the void, a soul fragment suddenly projected over.

No, this wasn’t a soul, but a soul fragment. However, for tier-seven, even a fragment was enough for Du You to resurrect someone. The recovery time would just be longer, with some memory loss.

Seeing the ancestor stand up again, not as a controlled puppet, everyone’s expressions changed immediately.

"My God, a revive skill, this is a true revive skill, and it appears to be of the dark attribute."

"Who could have guessed, the Dark King Your Majesty really can revive." Everyone’s view of Du You changed. Previously, among tier-sevens, only one treasure had resurrection ability, and it wasn’t here.

As for tier-eights with revive skills, there were none. This skill is extremely rare to find, and even if found, advancing it is very difficult. Who would have thought Du You could effortlessly revive a tier-seven?

"Thank you for your assistance." Now aware of his resurrection, the tier-seven ancestor hastily bowed to Du You.

"This isn’t an aid. My revival comes with a fee. You must exchange it later with a tier-seven strongman body or tier-seven equipment, honest trading here, fooling no one. Furthermore, whether tier-seven or tier-eight, as long as even a small soul fragment and a bit of body tissue are preserved, I can bring them back to life. The more intact, the quicker the recovery after revival."

Du You’s words caught everyone’s attention, even tier-eight experts, upon discovering Du You had resurrected someone, quietly gathered around.

The difference between having and not having a revive skill is vast. From today, Du You had become the most treasured asset among tier-eights. Anyone else could die, but Du You must remain unscathed.

Due to Du You’s existence, it was tantamount to them having an extra life. Otherwise, even if the soul escaped, the time needed for resurrection, the materials consumed, and the dangers faced would not be insignificant.

A soul lacking a body, once discovered by someone of the same level or even one level lower, would surely be attacked and destroyed, with no other outcome.
