Chapter 183: Chapter 183

Du You was lost in thought, but he had already come this far, no way was he giving up now.

Biting his lip, Du You decided to move forward. However, as he continued walking, he became more cautious.

Perhaps because he was well-rested, even though he was extremely careful, Du You still moved at a significant pace. Around 5 PM, Du You finally reached the foot of the slope.

Reaching this area, he needed to be even more cautious. The cloud of Heavenly Disaster at the mountain hill always gave him a strong sense of danger.

It felt like a creature encountering its natural enemy, a fear embedded in his very essence, which he couldn’t shake off. This fear was not something repressed by immense strength, but rather a primal fear originating from oneself.

Even if there wasn’t a warning on his status display, Du You couldn’t help but suspect that he was cursed.

Walking forward carefully, gradually, the flora ahead of him got lesser until the land in front of him turned into a bare wasteland. However, this desolate land was not devoid of life.

Du You looked ahead, and his face wore an expression of disbelief, "What’s happening, why are there so many Bald Dogs?"

That’s right, in front of Du You, there was a giant horde of dogs, or more accurately a variety of Canine Type Giant Beasts. The smallest one was more than two meters tall, and the largest reached over five meters in height.

However, these Canine Type Giant Beasts, had all their fur fallen off. Du You knew this wasn’t their natural state because the ground was littered with dog hair.

"That’s strange, do dogs in this world also shed hair, and all together at that?"

Du You muttered to himself but continued to observe with caution. With so many Canine Type Giant Beasts around, if their levels were proportionate to their sizes, Du You would definitely not be their match. Therefore, he did not dare to make reckless moves.

However, gradually, Du You realized that something was off.

These Bald Dogs seemed to be in poor health, continually coughing, and when they coughed, they would spit out a blood-red substance, presumably their own blood.

This red substance disappeared as soon as it hit the ground, transforming into a unique aura that was absorbed into the mountain, seemingly turning into a source of energy. "Could it be that the Heavenly Disaster Beast on the mountain is using the life force of these Bald Dogs to evolve, but why are these Bald Dogs just waiting here to die?"

Although unsure whether it was voluntary, Du You could still perceive some pattern.

A Bald Dog, already weak to the extreme, suddenly collapsed. Its entire body began to shrivel up as surges of red energy were emitted and rapidly absorbed into the mountain.

The other Bald Dogs around instinctively distanced themselves from the one that died, but none of them left.

This scene was totally eerie. However, Du You was slightly reassured that these Bald Dogs might be the key influence on the evolution of the Heavenly Disaster Beast. If he could kill all these dogs, he might just meet his goal.

Although these Bald Dogs were massive, they were already extremely weak, so Du You might stand a chance.

Du You carefully moved closer, he needed to observe from a closer range. As he neared, Du You gradually realized that things were more complicated than he initially thought.

According to their sizes, one would assume there would be many Tier 2 Bald Dogs.

However, when Du You had a clear view, the weakest among them was only Level 2, which was equivalent to the level of ordinary small bugs.

Those Bald Dogs that were more than five meters in height were only at Level 7 or Level 8. So it seemed that as their life force got absorbed, their levels also decreased significantly.

"This sacrifice is too huge, I refuse to believe anyone would volunteer for this," Du You took a deep breath, perhaps this was why the system thought he could complete the task.

"Xiaozi, my crow, come out, we need to get to work," Du You spoke after finding a relatively safe place. He summoned both the Purple Thunder Eagle and the Cursed Crow King, getting ready for battle. The Cursed Crow King unfurled its Curse Aura, quietly awaiting orders.

With the increase in level, the range of the Curse Aura of the Cursed Crow King had now reached 170 meters. However, as the Bald Dogs were quite far away, none of them were within the range of the curse.

Xiaozi flew up into the air, flying low since these Canines generally cannot attack from a distance. Du You wasn’t sure why there were no flying Giant Beasts nearby, perhaps they were all scared off by the Heavenly Disaster Beast.

A Thunder Light Orb was formed, with a flap of her wings, Xiaozi sends the orb shooting out.

The following events left Du You dumbstruck. "This is impossible, these creatures couldn’t have even lowered their magic resistance so much."

The Thunder Light Orb hit a Bald Dog that was just over three meters tall. However, instead of just wounding the Beast, as Du You had anticipated, it was blown to pieces – this was a clear sign of significantly reduced magic resistance.

Even Xiaozi seemed surprised. But then she gave a happy screech.

It was hard to believe their luck; all these Bald Dogs were practically on a suicide mission.

But as Du You made his move, the Bald Dogs raised their heads, their lifeless eyes staring at Du You. Their eerie gaze made Du You’s scalp go numb.

The next moment, all the Bald Dogs started running towards Du You. Making no sound, they just ran.

"They actually all came at once, and as a group. Seems like my earlier prediction was off."

Du You did not expect that these Bald Dogs would all rush at him together. Fortunately, he had chosen a favourable location for the battle beforehand, otherwise, dealing with so many Bald Dogs would have been troublesome.

But it doesn’t matter if the prediction was wrong. These Bald Dogs were too weak, and most importantly, their magic resistance was too low. Otherwise, Du You would have had no choice but to flee.

"Go all out, no holds barred," Du You commanded Xiaozi.

Xiaozi nodded, her body surrounded by thunder and lightning, forming one Thunder Light Orb after another and shooting them out at rapid speed.

Meanwhile, Du You began to create a large-scale Mucus Swamp to obstruct the movement of the Bald Dogs. "Damn, I forgot about their size."

The large Canine Giant Beasts, his swamp couldn’t possibly stop them. He could only rely on the stickiness of the mucus to slow them down. Just then, a Thunder Light Orb fell on the mucus, the high temperature instantly igniting it.
