Chapter 229: Chapter 229

The Ice-fire Explosion, a combination of two elements in a special form, undoubtedly unleashed far more power than a single power could. This was Du You’s own experience.

This special landmine would only explode when it sensed the presence of life approaching. Previously, it was Du You who triggered the explosion.

After all, it’s a landmine created by Du You himself, he can control it as long as it’s within the range of his Spiritual Perception. However, once it’s outside his perception range, he would be helpless, and it truly becomes a landmine.

It’s just a pity that such a powerful magic spell can’t be used in combat. No opponent would watch him create an Ice-fire Landmine and then stupidly step on it.

Having composed himself, Du You set off again. The next task involved the Black Mountain Goat.

The direction he was going happened to be the breeding grounds of Black Mountain Goats. His Ice-fire Explosion would be useless against these goats. This thing was too destructive, and after the blast, the Black Mountain Goat’s material would be basically useless.

Finding Black Mountain Goats was much easier than finding a Sandpeople’s village. These goats were always on the move but they didn’t hide their location, and generally stayed around the same area.

In terms of levels, these Black Mountain Goats weren’t high, but they were decent among ordinary creatures. The average level was three, making it quite bothersome to collect. Moreover, Black Mountain Goats moved in groups. Even level seven creatures found it difficult to escape when facing a furious herd of goats.

No wonder such a task was given to a newcomer like him instead of being handled by ordinary people.

Du You came across more than a hundred Black Mountain Goats all at once.

"Whatever, I’ll try it first." With a wave of his hand, Du You used the Mucus Swamp spell, poisoning all the goats. "Low poison resistance, or maybe it’s because of their low level. They’re different from the Sandpeople."

Du You walked over and examined a goat before walking away in disgust.

"The body is covered in mucus, and the fur is contaminated. The Mucus Swamp is somewhat corrosive, which damages the wool too much. It’s unpleasant to pick up the horns while stepping in mucus. Forget it, it’s not worth it, I’ll look for the next group."

Looking at the scattered Black Mountain Goats, Du You reluctantly gave up on the more than fifty dead ones on the ground.

There were indeed a substantial amount of Black Mountain Goats in this area. Soon, Du You found another, larger group.

Without hesitation, Du You used the Holy Light Arrow Array. Using the Disintegration Spell against the goats was no good because they didn’t die all at once and ended up fragmented, making material collection even more bothersome.

The Holy Light Arrow Array was different; it comprised a series of arrows. Four hundred and ninety arrows fell from the sky like a Heavenly Disaster. The unsuspecting Black Mountain Goats below were instantly transformed into hedgehogs by the fast arrows. Not one was left; they were all dead.

The arrows slowly disappeared, leaving behind a bunch of complete carcasses on the ground. "Next up is collection. What a bother."

Du You complained while starting to work. If others knew how easy it was to hunt Black Mountain Goats, it wouldn’t have been this way. You see, even a High-level tier one soldier would shy away from a rampaging herd of Black Mountain Goats.

Having spent more time collecting than on the hunt, Du You cut off the horns and tore off the skins of the goats. As for the wool on the skins, he would let the soldiers handle it back at the camp.

Du You himself didn’t have that much time. The skin of a Black Mountain Goat wasn’t worth much, only the wool had value. Unfortunately, they couldn’t be tamed and one could only hunt the wild ones.

"Shoot, there’s a lot of it. How am I supposed to carry all this back?" After cleaning up, Du You realized that the problem was there were too many materials. He couldn’t carry it all back; his personal space was too small.

"Miscalculated, miscalculated... I will plan thoroughly for such things in the future."

What Du You didn’t know was that when the other soldiers were assigned this task, they also couldn’t bring back much because the area occupied by the Black Mountain Goats was dangerous, and the goats themselves were also dangerous. If anyone could bring back a few hunted goats, it would be considered quite decent.

As for Du You, finishing off a large group of goats at once was truly a rare feat.

Suddenly, Du You summoned his Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs.

"Almost forgot I had a resource . You’ve got your work cut out for you this time." Du You bundled the goat hides and horns and fastened them directly onto the Demonic Dogs. The Dogs wouldn’t be too tired nor would they complain.

With the exception of being unable to fight, there were no other problems. Moreover, this time, the packages did not approach the Dogs’ weight limit, not even when completely covered. Dıscover more novels at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Pity I don’t know how to make a cart, otherwise, I could haul even more. There’s no other option; I’ll make do with this."

Du You and Xiaozi cooperated with each other to hunt two large groups of Black Mountain Goats again. During this time, other creatures trying to take advantage of the situation were swiftly dealt with by Xiaozi’s Thunder Light Orbs.

The hides and horns of over three hundred Black Mountain Goats covered the Dogs’ bodies completely. It looked like a mobile hill of black wool; you couldn’t see the Dogs’ figure from the outside.

Having that much material on the Dogs’ bodies finally put some weight on them, causing them to slow a bit, but it was insignificant. The load couldn’t be increased any further now.

"Sigh, so much time wasted just collecting some wool. Moreover, there weren’t many crystal coins, should avoid this kind of task next time." Not sure how much merit this quest would bring, but considering the effort, it likely wouldn’t be much. No wonder, hunting Black Mountain Goats was too easy, at least that was the case for him.

Compared to this, Du You preferred battling the Sandpeople, slaughtering them wasn’t a problem either.

"On our way back home then, let’s go." Du You had no choice but to walk beside the dogs, heading to White Stone City. In the sky Xiaozi and the Cursed Crow King were constantly reconnoitering.

However, the journey was calm. Du You walked all the way to the city gates without encountering any attacks.

"Oh my god, what’s that? Is that Black Mountain Goat’s wool? How could he have so much, how did he do that?"

"Who knows, but he has a recording badge, we should be able to see the record, this is too exaggerated." The city guard soldiers were astonished at the sight of what appeared to be a small, moving mountain of goats’ wool.
