Chapter 184: Chapter 184

In the end, Xiaozi was still just a summoned beast, lacking precise control over its own power, and had accidentally ignited the swamp it had prepared. Du You sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Next, however, Du You’s eyes widened as he saw that when the ignited swamp burned, it actually set these Bald Dogs on fire as well. Despite having no fur, they could still catch fire.

"What’s going on with these Bald Dogs? Have they lost all their body’s essence, such that even their bodies have become dry and easily flammable?" Du You found that this result had exceeded his expectations. Even the exceptionally large Bald Dogs were quickly harmed in the fire and eventually fell to the ground, turning into a huge torch.

The Canine Type Giant Beast, which was already extremely weak, had no ability to resist at all.

Most importantly, Du You found that burning them had a significant advantage.

The Bald Dogs that had been killed by Xiaozi would have their blood power absorbed by the mountain after death. Du You believed that doing so seemed to be helping the creature on the mountain speed up its evolution.

However, in the fire, due to the burning, the power from the dead Bald Dogs would be quickly burned away by the fire, with only a small amount eventually being absorbed by the mountain.

Moreover, in places where the flames were intense, all the bloody energy would be burnt to nothingness, leaving nothing behind.

If the fire was so effective, Du You would not give up such a useful method.

As such, Du You began to replenish the mucus in the Mucus Swamp. This Spell was widespread and very useful in dealing with the many Canine Type Giant Beasts.

"Xiaozi, don’t attack the beasts outside the fire anymore. Attack the ones inside, the bigger ones."

The larger beasts, due to their size, had more ability to resist the fire and would not be burnt to death in a short period of time. If they rushed over, it would be somewhat troublesome for him.

Consequently, Du You instructed Xiaozi to change its target. These beasts were afraid of fire now, but not death. They would rather be burned to death than stop their charge towards Du You, like a group of controlled puppets.

Du You could still see signs of struggle in some of the Bald Dogs’ eyes, but they couldn’t control their actions. Now Du You was even more certain that these Bald Dogs did not willingly come here to sacrifice themselves.

Just then, a large Canine Type Giant Beast over six meters long rushed over. The flames were not as high as its legs.

"Good timing. Taste my explosion," Du You waved his hand and a Fire Snake Curse was launched. Seven fire snakes appeared at the same time, coiling around the Bald Dog. The exploding sparks created black spots on the Bald Dog’s body. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

Among the Level 9 Bald Dogs with a huge size, Du You would have to spend a lot of effort to kill them under normal circumstances. If it was in its prime, Du You would not dare to fight it.

But now it was different, the Bald Dog’s magic resistance had dropped and besides its size, it had nothing else.

Just the Fire Snake Curse alone was enough to cause damage. The fire snake quickly absorbed power from the fire, magnifying itself. Meanwhile, Du You took the opportunity to cast a series of Disintegration Spells on the Bald Dog’s body.

Many cracks emerged, and when the fire snake reached its limit, Du You – without hesitation – detonated it.

With a "boom", the fire snakes exploded almost at the same time. The Bald Dog, which could have persevered, was now thoroughly blown apart. Combined with the cracks on its body, half of its body had turned into chunks.

Its internal flesh and blood were losing a lot of blood and many parts of it were starting to smell.

With not much blood flowing out, Du You quickly added a Mucus Swamp to the Bald Dog’s body, which was then ignited by sparks. The flames on the corpse successfully blocked the bloody power from being absorbed.

Du You heaved a sigh of relief: "This is what I call a real monster hunting session, the previous ones were too weak."

That’s right, in Du You’s eyes, this was his monster hunting session. The best outcome was to continuously kill a large number of monsters. However, there were no rewards and this made Du You even more upset.

"This is the final obstacle. Once we get rid of this, nothing can stop us."

Du You’s eyes were fixed on a huge figure in the back. The figure stood over nine meters tall.

Such height meant it was either a top-tier level two or level three Giant Beast when alive. Regardless, it was not weak. Even now, it looked as if it was about to die, but its level was still 12.

If it were a normal day, Du You would never dare to attack a Level 12 Giant Beast, he would certainly not be a match. But today was different, this Level 12 Giant Beast looked like it was on its last legs.

Although its advancement speed was not slow, it was already very sluggish in its movements. Its speed was fast only because it was too large. Even some small Canine Type Giant Beasts were much faster than this creature.

This giant Bald Dog, dim-eyed and lacking any desire to survive, continued to move towards Du You like a walking corpse, showing no signs of struggle at all. Despite watching many beasts die and knowing that it was walking down a path of death, it did not resist. Du You did not believe that such a high-level beast would easily give up its life.

Soon, this beast came within his attack range. By this time, other Giant Beasts in front had already been cleaned up. The surrounding Giant Dogs could only follow behind because they couldn’t cross the fire.

"This nearly bloodless creature... the Giant Beast Hunter probably wouldn’t work, so let’s just attack directly. Xiaozi, full fire power."

At Du You’s command, seven Mucus Swamps covered the creature’s body.

Then, countless Light Balls fell from the sky, Xiaozi no longer held back its strength, attacking crazily. Du You’s Fire Snake Curse was also launched, and it was detonated directly after reaching its limit. However, all these attacks only managed to tear the Giant Dog’s skin to shreds.

The internal damage seemed not very serious. Du You narrowed his eyes slightly, not expecting this creature to be so tough. Even in such a weakened state, it was still resisting strongly.

The saying ’a lean camel is bigger than a horse’ proved true. Du You had no choice but to retreat for the first time.

But this was not an escape, he was still attacking while retreating. The Giant Dog simply moved apathetically towards him, little by little, without showing any other emotions or making any other gestures, let alone using any skills.

Du You didn’t believe for a second that it had no skills. But since it was not using them, Du You was largely relieved.
