Chapter 198: Chapter 198

He took a deep breath, Du You stroked Xiaozi, who was more afraid of flying creatures than himself.

"Let’s walk on the ground for a while before we fly. That creature won’t stay here too long." Du You comforted Xiaozi, but in fact, he was also comforting himself.

Initially, he thought that seeing more and more high-level giant beasts, he would gradually get used to it. But who could predict that no matter how many he saw, fear would still strike at the sight of these beasts, a kind of instinct.

Even if he could convince himself, his instinct was still uncontrollable.

No wonder people of this world are filled with despair, frequently baptized in this terrifying atmosphere. Even existences with the most robust minds would slowly be affected.

He had only been in this place for a few days, and he was already feeling this unease.

After walking a distance with Xiaozi, Du You was all alert, detecting everything around him. The forest had fallen into total chaos with beasts running rampant everywhere.

As for those little critters, they didn’t dare to run around anymore. Because of Du You’s appearance, many high-grade beasts gathered nearby. These beasts were clearly searching for the Heavenly Disaster Beasts’ cubs.

Unable to resist repeated glances at the sky, he was about to take Xiaozi to fly up when suddenly another huge figure flew above him; it was still a high-level beast, but not the one from before.

Du You’s anxious heart suddenly turned ice-cold as the beast that had flown overhead swooped over them once again. At this point, Xiaozi was not faring well either.

The typically smooth-sailing Xiaozi had never encountered such frightful situations multiple times in a day. If it continues, it may affect Xiaozi’s morale. After all, Xiaozi is not he, for humans can often get over it. But once Xiaozi’s courage is thoroughly affected, even if it’s a summoned beast, it will become semi-worthless.

At this moment, Du You had some affection for the Cursed Crow King. That thing simply wouldn’t be emotionally affected.

With a wave of his hand, Du You dismissed Xiaozi, now leaving only himself walking through the forest. Regardless, as long as he leaves this forest and returns to the outskirts of the human world, he would be safe.

However, what Du You didn’t expect was that he had moved in several directions and still hadn’t left. The number of powerful beasts nearby seemed to be increasing. Eventually, even second-tier beasts started appearing in groups.

He was no match for these beasts, even at full strength. Considering he couldn’t summon Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, he was even less of an opponent. It was only because these beasts were too busy searching for something that they ignored him, which saved his life.

"Why are they looking for it too? Could it be that the underlings of those high-level beasts have also arrived?"

Du You could only think this, as this place was becoming increasingly dangerous. If they continued to gather, he didn’t know when his luck would run out. Some of the more murderous beasts would step on a bug when they encountered one. He had seen this before. If the previous distance were any smaller, he would probably be in a fight by now.

Continuing to walk cautiously, Du You didn’t know how much time had passed when he suddenly stiffened.

Sometime unknown, a massive figure slowly slithered past him. It was a colossal snake. The thickness of its body alone was over five meters. When the huge skull was lifted, it stood over twenty meters tall.

This was hardly a regular snake. Compared to this creature, the Titan Python he had seen before was just a small earthworm. But how could such a massive thing move to his side without him noticing?

When Du You discovered the creature, it was only a dozen meters away from him. It could bite him by simply lowering its head. He looked at the compass, and perhaps because the creature was too large, there wasn’t a significant reaction on it.

The gigantic snake only glanced around, and when its eyes swept past Du You, he felt ice-cold all over.

The level-30 label on the snake’s head informed Du You that this was a terrifying beast, already close to becoming a Heavenly Disaster Beast. In this area, apart from that Earthquake Disaster, there were only a few that could contend with it.

Luckily, this snake was so potent and enormous that it didn’t even pay attention to Du You, and it just slowly slithered past him. It continued to perceive everything around as it moved around.

"Luckily the vegetation here is lush, and the scent of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs on my body has disappeared. Otherwise, I might have been noticed by that snake just now. If it had casually hit me, I’d have lost my life."

Du You took a deep breath. He had brushed past the edge of death, and he didn’t even have the strength to resist, let alone decide his own fate. This experience had genuinely scared him.

"No, I can’t stay in this world any longer. It’s too dangerous here now. If I continue to stay, I will surely die without a proper burial." Du You finally came to his senses. This place is no longer suitable for him.

There were more and more high-grade beasts; it was already tough to survive amidst them, let alone hunting beasts for benefits. With time, this place would only become more dangerous. He couldn’t lose his life for some riches here. It would not be an adventure but a meaningless suicide.

When the giant snake had gone far enough, Du You gradually calmed down. Perhaps it was because the giant snake had passed this way. After the giant snake left, there weren’t any beasts to be seen in this area, only some insects that still didn’t dare to move.

Not in a combat state at the moment, Du You summoned the panel, filled with infinite regret, he submitted the mainline mission. Fresh chapters posted on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

He had to let go of such an excellent location for producing white crystal coins.

As the mainline mission was submitted, Du You turned into a white spot of spiritual energy.

Those beasts seemed to sense something, looking back towards Du You’s direction, but found nothing, so they lost interest. The spot of light appeared in Du You’s room, quickly gathering.

At the spot where Du You had left the room, the lights came together again, forming the shape of Du You.

Reflecting on this adventure, Du You realized he had been a bit reckless. He faced too much danger, but luckily, the outcome was favorable. Even though he was forced out of the Heavenly Disaster Beasts’ world, the gains were unprecedented.

HIs level was upgraded to 7, his personal space was expanded tenfold, and he acquired a new summoned beast, the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog. His power and various abilities had made significant progress during this adventure.
