Chapter 226: Chapter 226

A sand-person had already appeared here, which meant they were not far from the sand people’s lair.

Du You didn’t ride Xiaozi, but let it scout from the air while he ran on the ground. It didn’t take long for Xiaozi to signal that it had found the target.

"No wonder there’s a mission to massacre a village, I feel like wiping all of you out too."

Du You looked at the village, where several frameworks were stationed, underneath them was dried blood, along with fresh blood. The stone platform held many internal organs and flesh, which made Du You feel as if he was in a slaughterhouse.

The flesh on it was from both animals and humans. Don’t ask how Du You could tell, because a human head that had been cut in half was also placed aside. All these were the food for the sand people. The source of this content ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

"I really wonder why people here didn’t evacuate and insist on living outside, to be caught and eaten."

Du You muttered to himself, his eyes growing colder by the moment.

After confirming these targets, Du You didn’t hesitate to launch his attack. With a wave of his hand, he released seven Mucus Swamps, turning most of the village into a place teeming with deadly mucus.

In the next moment, a Thunder Light Orb fell from the sky, instantly igniting the mucus. The sand people were surrounded by a raging inferno before they could even understand what had happened. They were ordinary sand people with low levels, nothing noteworthy.

Just as Du You was preparing to leave, he noticed that something was off.

"What’s going on, they weren’t burned to death?" Du You stared at the scenes in the fire.

Perhaps these sand people were often attacked, so their reaction speed was exceptionally high. Aside from the unlucky ones who were mired in the mucus at the very beginning, the others managed to choose the best way to evade in a short amount of time: by burrowing underground. This was a unique ability of sand people.

Sand people could meld into the sand in an instant and avoid attacks on the ground.

Because of this, his earlier fire only managed to kill less than half of the people in the village, the others had all managed to escape.

Furthermore, Du You realized that the toxins created by his magic seemed to be ineffective against these sand people.

"Indeed, they’re not like normal people at all, their resistance to poison is so strong, no wonder there’s rotting flesh on their dining tables."

Du You finally remembered the sight of the sand people eating rotting flesh. He initially thought that it was simply a part of their lifestyle, but now he realized they simply didn’t care. The decaying toxins and bacteria didn’t affect them at all.

He should note that the toxins he created were far more potent than those.

After the fire subsided, the sand people began to emerge from the ground. Seeing Du You, their faces twisted into ferocious expressions. Drawing their weapons, they charged at Du You.

The sand people all wielded long swords, some of which resembled Tang dynasty swords, while others were more similar to oversized watermelon knives. They had no other types of weapons.

Looking at their weapons, Du You couldn’t tell what material they were made of. They appeared to be steel, but they didn’t reflect light. The blades were incredibly sharp, easily able to split a large tree in two with a casual swing.

"Quicksand soldiers, a racial profession?"

Du You looked at the labels above the heads of these sand people, which designated them as quicksand soldiers.

But Du You didn’t care; while these sand people might have strong poison resistance, their magic resistance was weak. He cast a Disintegration Spell and almost each of them turned a sand person into shards.

In the air, Xiaozi was faster, a Thunder Light Orb hit a sand person, and the sand person was blown into fragments by the Thunder Light Orb. It seemed this result was no less than his Disintegration Spell.

Exploded directly by the Thunder Light Orb, their magic resistance was indeed inferior, perhaps no better than an average human’s.

Just at this moment, a strange roar sounded behind them. The crowd before him suddenly parted. A silhouette charged out at an astonishing speed. The level of this Quicksand soldier had actually reached level 9.

"As expected, when massacring a village, it’s easy to encounter some unexpected situations. Those people didn’t deceive me."

Du You muttered to himself. Considering the special circumstances of the sand people, even if you weren’t a mage, unless your level was higher than theirs, it might be tough to defeat them.

The Quicksand soldier had a special aura that swirled around him like quicksand. This aura that resembled Dou Qi but wasn’t Dou Qi allowed him to not only mimic sand but also control the sand around his body.

This was a powerful form of defence, especially against various melee weapons. Soldiers who wanted to get close would also be affected by the sand. The Quicksand soldier swung his blade at Du You, and an aura blade made of sand flew towards him. The next moment, Du You’s Shield Spell appeared in front of the aura blade.

With a "bang", the aura blade collided with the shield, causing the shield to sway, but it firmly blocked the attack. The cheers from the sand people halted abruptly.

They seemed taken aback. They didn’t expect their hidden trump card, which had launched a sudden assault, to be blocked, leaving the sand people all at a loss.

"Roar." The Quicksand soldier let out a roar and increased his speed.

Du You felt that although the previous attack was powerful, it was also tolerable for him. Among those of equal level, besides having an explosive single strike, the Quicksand soldiers were inferior to the Beastkin in everything else.

"Take them down. Don’t waste time." As Du You issued his order, the Cursed Crow King’s Curse Aura spread out.

Next, the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog appeared. The charging Quicksand soldier ran right into the Demonic Dog. Unfortunately for the soldier, the terrifying size of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog and the dry, corpse-like flesh of the Demonic Dog completely disregarded the Quicksand Soldier’s specialties.

With a swipe of its paw, bringing with it attacks of black flame, the Quicksand soldier was flattened. But even so, the Quicksand soldier was able to struggle and try to stand, not dying right away.

The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog seemed bored, and it swiped its paw again. The terrifying strength caused the Quicksand soldier to turn into meat paste, now he was truly dead.

Without the level 9 Quicksand soldier, the other sand people suddenly became panic-stricken. They screamed and ran in all directions. "Want to run? Ask me first." Lightning orbs shot down from the sky towards Xiaozi.

Du You also began to throw his Disintegration Spell like a madman, as if he didn’t need to spare any magic, killing those who tried to escape.
