Chapter 206: Chapter 206
Fang Shuo was epitomizing the speed of a Wild Wind Warrior, moving so fast he seemed like a shadow. But the men in black seemed ready for him, as they too were increasing their speed simultaneously.
As a result, no matter how Fang Shuo swung his axe, he was unable to hurt his opponent.
On the contrary, the black-clad death warriors behind him were pelting him with orbs of ice one after another, affecting Fang Shou momentarily. His whole body was shrouded in a chilly blue glow, and his speed noticeably reduced. If it weren’t for his Dou Qi, he would have slowed even more.
Just then, a loud bang sounded in the distance, and the man who had blocked his earlier Fire Snake Curse had detonated it. However, the explosion’s power did not completely annihilate the adversary.
The black-clad death warrior was illuminated by a red glow and only suffered moderate injuries, given his rank five strength. He had a trickle of blood running from the corner of his mouth, but he looked otherwise unaffected.
"This guy is stronger than I thought, damn it, how did his speed increase so quickly?"
The rear black-clothed man’s eyes flashed with suspicion. This was not at all what he had expected based on the information he had. The bastard who had tricked him with false information would not be spared.
At this point, Du You was also looking stern. "Lao Er, be careful, these people are clearly aware of our intelligence, and they are all prepared," he cautioned.
Fang Shuo spit out. "Who else could have detailed knowledge of our intelligence if not that bastard Lin Feng?"
"Lin Feng? Why would he want to target us?"
"It’s my fault. There was some conflict between me and him at the group event organized by the school. That idiot got thrashed by me, so it must have been his doing."
As Du You shielded and summoned simultaneously, he quickly asked, "How did you pick a fight with him? What about Lao Da? Why didn’t he stop you?" Lao Da would surely have intervened, had he been there.
"Lao Da was busy. I was the only one from our dorm who went."
Alright, so Fang Shuo had gone alone, which resulted in the conflict. There was no one restricting him - Du You could only shake his head at Fang Shuo’s temper. Although he felt a bit dejected, there was nothing he could do now.
Clearly, their adversaries were ready for his Disintegration Spell. Newest update provıded by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
As soon as Du You made his move, a group of black-clothed men from the rear began to take out round shields and position them in front of the spell.
Apart from the unlucky one who was hit directly by Du You’s Disintegration Spell and disintegrated into pieces, the rest miraculously blocked his Disintegration Spell. Given the speed of the Disintegration Spell, they must have used some special method to help each other resist it.
The Cursed Crow King and Thunder Hawk had just appeared when the rear black-clothed man targeted them.
The man pulled out a scroll and activated it promptly. The Curse Aura of the Cursed Crow King spread, prompting a grunt from the surrounding men, indicating the Pain Curse’s effect had taken hold.
Before the Cursed Crow King could fly away, a spectral net descended from the void, pinning it to the ground.
Three crossbow bolts followed closely, hitting the Cursed Crow King almost simultaneously. The Crow King, which had just begun to display a bit of power, was instantly killed. With the death of the Cursed Crow King, the Curse Aura disappeared too.
"Haha, bring it on, keep them coming. Let your bird come down and attack us."
The black-clothed man in the rear laughed uproariously, holding another similar scroll in his hands. Du You deduced it was likely another net-type magic scroll. They were indeed being targeted.
Not only did the enemy know what abilities his pets had, but they also prioritised the elimination of the Cursed Crow King, whose Curse Aura could cause large-scale damage. They got rid of the creature that posed the most significant threat.
The Thunder Hawk was left alone as it only had close combat abilities. Once it descended from the sky, it would be caught in the net and exterminated, leaving no major threats.
Before entering the Giant Beast world, the Thunder Hawk indeed only had close combat abilities. They were unaware that it had learnt the Long-range Lightning Sphere. Just as Xiaozi readied to attack, Du You immediately stopped her.
"Their intelligence seems to have stopped updating since the last Nordland Domination World. We won’t reveal ourselves now. Wait for my commands." Du You ordered in his mind, and Xiaozi had no choice but to continue swooping in the sky.
As Xiaozi wouldn’t descend, the black-clothed men in the rear had all their attention devoted to watching her. As far as they were concerned, their once formidable leader, with his unknown amount of abilities, seemed temporarily harmless.
Furthermore, Du You concluded that this man did not have a significant long-range attack power, otherwise, he would have attacked Xiaozi.
However, the remaining enemies weren’t few either. They were surrounded by more than twenty black-clothed men and were unable to break free due to the combined melee and ranged attacks, leaving them in a constant struggle.
If it wasn’t for Du You frequently casting Shield Spells, and the fact that Lao Er had somehow obtained highly defensive armour, they would’ve been injured by now. But this stalemate wasn’t a solution either.
Someone had to break the deadlock; otherwise, none of them would escape today. But the black-clad men surrounding them, apart from one unlucky one who had been disintegrated by the spell, hadn’t suffered any severe injuries.
Just then, Fang Shou suddenly yelled out, "Damn it, Lao San, give me one of your snakes!"
After blocking a shadow attack, Fang Shou finally lost his cool. His defense was strong, but it could not stand the incessant frenzied attacks of the others. Their strikes were aimed right at the gaps in his armour. They would rather risk injury to keep attacking him. And to make matters worse, there were healers in the rear who could quickly heal any non-severe injuries.
Having heard Fang Shou’s words, Du You understood his intent. Having shared a dormitory for so many years, they understood each other underneath the surface.
Without any hesitation, Du You threw a Fire Snake Curse towards Fang Shou. As seven fire snakes circled Fang Shou, the sparks they emitted didn’t have much of an effect due to the strong magical resistance and comprehensive defense of his armour.
But this set a dilemma in the minds of the black-dressed men who wished to attack him up close.
Attacking Fang Shou would risk burning themselves, and it might not even be useful. If they attacked the fire snake, and it exploded, they had no idea what would happen to Fang Shou, but without defence, they would surely be doomed if they were the ones who triggered the explosion. Having experienced the previous detonation, they realised that Du You’s Fire Snake power was far stronger than the information they had.
