Chapter 194: Chapter 194

It wasn’t until now that Du You finally ventured out, certain that there was no imminent danger.

The six-fanged beast, pinned down on the ground, could only whimper. Desperately, it tried to lift its head to attack, but with both its hind legs paralyzed, its movements were far too sluggish to pose any threat to the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs.

A Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog charged from behind, clamping onto the six-fanged beast’s skull, gnawing persistently. The skull was incredibly sturdy, and for a while, they couldn’t manage to kill the beast.

Du You advanced. There was no need for testing anything by this point in the fight. He promptly released the Disintegration Spell, striking the wounds on the head and the gaps between the bone. After two hits, the six-fanged beast died.

"What a fat pig we’ve got here. How about we make a meal out of this fellow today?"

Having finally encountered such a plump pig, they were in for a treat today.

Although the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs were of the undead attribute, they themselves were dried corpses, not ordinary zombies. They weren’t poisonous, so any prey they killed wouldn’t become toxic and inedible.

The most they had to do was avoid touching the wounds made by the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, which was more of a mental comfort than a necessity.

Though the giant beasts were massive, their flesh tasted quite good and was very nourishing. Du You found that he rarely ate the food he brought with him recently, preferring to consume the meat from these giant beasts.

While he ordered the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs to roughly tear off edible parts of the boar, Du You studied the injuries on it.

"The frequency of triggering the bleeding attribute is quite considerable. As long as a large wound is created, it’ll almost certainly induce the bleeding effect. If not for its large size and abundant blood, most creatures would’ve bled to death by now. On the other hand, the crippling attribute is not easily activated. Despite numerous attacks, it only triggered once."

Du You secretly thought that perhaps, when dealing with smaller creatures, it might be the opposite.

Inflicting large wounds on small creatures would kill them instantly, eliminating the need for bleeding.

If faced with a blunt trauma and if the crippling effect isn’t activated, they’d probably be crippled, or at the very least, suffer a fracture. Given their size and strength, the effect seems to be rather insignificant.

Without a practical test, Du You was uncertain about it.

However, through this battle, Du You had realized that his Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs were genuinely formidable.

After cutting out the required chunks of meat and marinating them with the spices he brought, Du You opened the orb from the hunt. Interestingly, it appeared that all the level-10 giant beasts he’d killed had dropped items for him.

Crystal Coins, which nearly all orbs would yield, wasn’t surprising for Du You anymore.

What followed, however, lit up Du You’s eyes because he didn’t receive materials this time but equipment.

Fang Knives: Sharpness 10, Durability, Bleeding, Slashing (Bright White)

Du You looked at the two knives in his hand. Yes, a pair - one large and one small. Yet, these weapons weren’t designed to be used together; they could be wielded separately as well. Both weapons were bright white and top-tier.

Both had reached the pinnacle of sharpness and possessed three attributes. One was a long straight knife, and the other was a curved blade with a significant arch. Without any special techniques, it wouldn’t be easy to wield both at the same time.

The most crucial point was that these two knives weren’t part of a set. Thus selling them separately would yield better results. As for keeping them for personal use – Du You ruled that out.

"This pig really was a fat one, leaving me with some good stuff."

Du You couldn’t help but lament how much easier it would’ve been to carve up the pig had he opened the orb sooner. He found that cutting pork with a regular knife was quite a strenuous task. Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽

After storing away the two knives, Du You started barbecuing. Only Xiaozi and Du You ate the meat. The Cursed Crow King and the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs had absolutely no interest in the food - one being an undead, and the other abnormal.

Once everything was packed, Du You set off again. Trying to gather as many crystal coins in as little time as possible wasn’t easy — he needed to speed up.

With the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog leading the way, Du You dared to venture deeper into the forest and further away from human settlements. Although it carried some risks, the rewards were correspondingly greater too.

On the fifteenth day in this world, the number of crystal coins in his possession was close to ten thousand.

"Almost there, just a little more. I’ll strive to achieve the goal within today." If it hadn’t been for the unique environment, Du You would have yelled, releasing the excitement bubbling inside of him.

Suddenly, Du You spotted a giant-beast, resembling an ostrich, charging out from a nearby location.

Giant-footed Bird: Level 10

"Another level-10 giant beast! These types of beasts are rare. I wonder what rewards we will get from this one. Wait, why isn’t it running away? It’s running towards us instead."

For the first time, Du You discovered a beast, within his tier, that didn’t flee upon sighting the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs.

It had to be mentioned that even the six-fanged beast had initially tried to escape. Unfortunately, due to the terrain, it was cornered by the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog, leaving it no choice but to counterattack in a life-or-death situation.

Surprisingly, they encountered a beast bold enough to initiate an attack today.

Du You didn’t hesitate. He tested his spells the first time, but this time was different. The Giant-footed Bird was covered in blue light, moving at a high speed like a streak of light.

Curse Aura, Curse of Weakness.

The Giant-footed Bird’s speed instantly decreased. Du You silently signaled Xiaozi, who promptly released nine Thunder Light Orbs that had been circling her, full force. Without batting an eye, Du You released a series of Disintegration Spells.

At present, Du You was deep in the forest and dared not ignite his Mucus Swamp. Creating a large fire here would make too much noise and might draw the attention of very dangerous giants, forcing him to flee.

Having suffered from this painful lesson just the day before yesterday, Du You was cautious. He had been chased around for half a day, which was quite a horrifying experience.

However, his Disintegration Spell was no less potent. Now, even a level-10 giant beast wouldn’t be safe from his attacks.

The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog beneath him had already taken off running, lunging towards the Giant-footed Bird in an attempt to bite it. The bird was extremely fast and agile, managing to evade several Thunder Light Orbs with its swift movements.

But then, the incoming Thunder Light Orbs hit it. The paralyzing thunder and the force from the Thunder Light Orbs hampered its agility. As the Disintegration Spells approached, the Giant-footed Bird could only spread its wings in defense, as if they were a shield.

The very next moment, the wings acting as a shield were torn apart like rags, feathers flying everywhere.
