Chapter 260: Chapter 260

The crowd seemed to wake from a dream, in a place where mages were few and far between, the sudden appearance of a mage could indeed surprise them.

Although conflicts often arose between the Quicksand Empire and White Stone City, they were simply localized battles. Unless it escalated into an all-out war, why would those prestigious mages venture into such a place?

The surrounding soldiers let out a battle cry, beginning their slaughter of the remaining Sandpeople. Chapters fırst released on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

Unexpectedly, a doorway in one of the Sandpeople’s houses burst open from the inside with a surge of power.

"Who’s making such a fuss, won’t you let a person sleep?" From inside the house, a gruff shout rang out as a figure emerged. The crowd was left speechless; the battle had reached such an intense point and yet someone had managed to sleep through it.

"The soundproofing of this room must be excellent," a soldier mumbled lowly.

But as they regained their senses, the people around fell silent, for the Sandperson who had appeared was a four-armed Sandperson, just like the corpse Du You had seen before.

Quicksand Soldier: Level 12

"Another one of the second tier, good thing it’s only level 12, any higher and it would be tough to handle."

When Du You saw another second-tier Quicksand soldier appear, he became somewhat vigilant. But after seeing that it was only level 12, he relaxed. After all, Quicksand soldiers were not Quicksand Priests, they didn’t possess so many peculiar abilities.

The newly emerged Quicksand soldier finally realized what had transpired outside. Seeing corpses strewn about, the soldier’s aura became increasingly volatile. "Damn humans, it’s you again. You guys arrived pretty quickly."

With a crazed smile on his face, the Quicksand soldier waved his large knife, propelling forth a Quicksand Douqi blade. The nearby human soldiers couldn’t resist, within a single move three of them were cut down, and a Sandperson couldn’t dodge it either.

The nearby soldiers had never imagined that this guy would attack, who would’ve known the Quicksand soldier would indiscriminately take everyone as an attack target, not caring about inflicting friendly fire.

"Damn it, we can’t let this Sandperson start running. That would spell trouble."

The area wasn’t particularly narrow, but the terrain was complicated, and there were so many people gathered together. If he started running, it would put the others at risk.

Given that they were all part of the same organization at the moment, with the badge constantly collecting data about what was happening, Du You couldn’t just sit idly by. Otherwise, who knew how many people would target him when they got back.

Without a second thought, Du You ordered the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs to charge. The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs were only level 8, but their massive bodies and strong defenses meant the Quicksand soldier couldn’t dispatch them quickly. Also, the effect of the Curse Aura made the Quicksand Soldier feel constrained, even with his four arms.

In the air, a Purple Lightning Golden Eagle occasionally unleashed a Thunder Light Orb. The Quicksand soldier himself didn’t expect that he would be injured faster than the massive summoned beast.

Seeing a desert storm approaching, the Quicksand soldier became anxious.

"Dammit, weren’t human mages not supposed to easily venture into White Stone City? How did a mage appear? Damn it, come out!"

Following the Quicksand soldier’s roar, the ground suddenly exploded. The approaching Death Scorpion was immediately overturned. A massive figure suddenly rushed out, its mouth biting down on the Death Scorpion.

The body of the Death Scorpion immediately disintegrated. Fortunately, it was only composed of sand and didn’t directly hit the main body.

The Death Scorpion rapidly absorbed the sand to recover, while Du You managed to see what had emerged. It was a huge Sand Snake with a yellow body marked with black spots, and the part that had surfaced was over two meters tall.

Having only seen a Sand Snake in the breeding records before, Du You instantly recognized its identity, but such a large Sand Snake certainly left people stunned.

Without a second thought, Du You unleashed a Disintegration Spell.

However, around the body of the Sand Snake, a Quicksand barrier unexpectedly appeared, blocking Du You’s Disintegration Spell. The Disintegration Spell and the Quicksand barrier simultaneously exploded, canceling out the attack.

At this time, another head of the Sand Snake emerged from the ground and ferociously chased after the Death Scorpion.

Xiaozi immediately gave up on its targeted attack. A Thunder Light Orb hit the head of the Sand Snake, deflecting its attack and giving the Death Scorpion a chance to recover.

Sand Snake (Double-headed Mutation): Level 17

Du You was stunned. It was a mutated Sand Snake, one that had two heads. The key thing was, its level was 17. Was this powerful creature really the pet of the Quicksand soldier in front of him? Its level was incredibly high.

A 17 level Sand Snake, possessing magical means, was simply not something he could cope with.

Indeed, the Sand Snake was hit by a series of attacks, but there were no visible marks on its body. Instead, the enraged Sand Snake’s aura grew even more wild.

One of its mouths opened, aimed at the Death Scorpion, a horrifying suction force emerged. The Quicksand continuously forming on the Death Scorpion was relentlessly swallowed up, creating a balance between them.

But Du You noticed that the Quicksand on the Death Scorpion was continually decreasing, its size also shrinking. When the Quicksand ran out, the Death Scorpion would surely be swallowed up by the opponent, it could not even move right now.

While the Death Scorpion’s quality was higher than that of the Sand Snake, it was no match for the level gap. It was already impressive that it could hold out till now despite a nine-level difference.

The other snake head was also busy. A yellow light was shining on its head and layers of Quicksand were forming a barrier around it. Both Du You and Xiaozi’s attacks were effortlessly blocked by the Sand Snake.

On the other side, without any reinforcements, the solo Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog was having a tough time against the Quicksand soldier. Wounds were swiftly being inflicted on its body. If it weren’t for its strong defense provided by having a body of dry corpses, who knew what would have happened.

The Quicksand soldier jumped up and down, occasionally dipping into the sand, leaving the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog to deal with him using its colossal size. The dog relied on its abilities, continuously draining the Quicksand Soldier’s strength.

This battle was a contest of endurance, seeing who could hold out till the end.

However, from the current situation, it seemed clear that the Quicksand Soldier held the upper hand. The suppression between the tiers was not so easily eliminated.

"For fuck’s sake, why would such a powerful Quicksand soldier appear here, why hasn’t this guy ascended to the leadership?" Du You glanced at the small mountain peak that was still in fierce combat. Such a formidable figure should be up there. But he had appeared in front of Du You, it seemed like something had gone wrong somewhere.
