Chapter 269: Chapter 269

No matter what the Quicksand Priest thought, it was true that the opponent’s Death Scorpion was stronger than his own.

Of course, he was at level 10, and so was his Death Scorpion. Du You’s Death Scorpion, however, was only at level 9. But it was different in terms of star rating. The Quicksand Priest’s Death Scorpion was equivalent to a creature of 7 stars at most, lacking a body that underwent Law Formalization.

The difference in star rating, coupled with some changes that occurred during skill development, led to a significant gap between the two sides. After a brief stalemate, the opposing quicksand began to retreat, being constantly pressured by his own quicksand.

The Priest Chief said to the two people beside him, "You two continue to assist in guarding, I’ll assist the Death Scorpion."

"Yes, sir." The two of them nodded in acknowledgement, and then began to provide additional magic to the surrounding Quicksand soldiers. Despite their level 9 status, they were only one stage lower than the Chief. However, the two sides performed entirely differently.

The two of them together used magic to enhance their abilities, but the effects were not as good as when the Chief alone did so. The strength of the surrounding Quicksand soldiers diminished slightly. And the human soldiers who had been fighting the Quicksand soldiers immediately felt the pressure lessen considerably.

"Well done, brothers, they are almost at their limits, let’s keep pushing."

The soldiers shouted, intensifying their attacks. The Quicksand soldiers, however, fought as if their lives depended on it.

The fight between the two sides was brutally fierce, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The battlefield ahead had essentially become a killing field. Some people, despite being seriously injured, continued to shout and slash wildly.

At this point, both the soldiers and the Quicksand soldiers had forgotten their mission. They had forgotten what they had come to do. All they knew was that if they didn’t kill their enemies, they would die. Everyone was in a killing frenzy.

Meanwhile, the Priest Chief focused entirely on Du You. The Death Scorpion was sacred to a priest. The fact that a human could control a Death Scorpion was a very serious matter. In his eyes, understanding this was more important than whether they could win the siege.

With the operation of the Priest’s additional magic, Du You felt that the opponent’s Death Scorpion was growing stronger and more imposing. Naturally, the Quicksand Priest was more proficient in raising the Death Scorpion than Du You was having done so for many years.

Furthermore, Du You himself lacked the skill to enhance his pets. The high star rating of Du You’s summoned beasts had always made them very powerful, which led Du You to overlook a very important issue.

That was Du You, as a summoner, did not possess any skill to strengthen his summoned beasts. This was highly unqualified.

However, Du You had not found a suitable enhancement skill. No choice, these types of skills were originally not abundant, and they were very popular. Unfortunately, all of his pets had dark attributes.

Even if they were not originally, they were now. Dark attributes made it easy to find offensive or debilitating skills, but supportive enhancement skills were not so easy to find.

The opponent’s Death Scorpion was getting stronger, and originally, Du You’s Death Scorpion could suppress the opponent. But gradually they were being suppressed by the opponent.

At this point, Du You’s warriors were being blocked by the Quicksand soldiers. Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs were also assisting, but they were entangled by a second-tier Quicksand soldier.

Although the aura of the Cursed Crow King was very effective, as soon as it flew over, a white light came face to face with it.

It was unknown which priest used a method, but that beam of white light instantly wrapped around the Cursed Crow King. After struggling for a moment, it was sealed within a transparent crystal stone. Fresh chapters posted on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

It fell down, still in a state of flight. But Du You knew that his Cursed Crow King was dead.

As expected, a moment later, the Cursed Crow King within the crystal disintegrated into light and vanished. Only the crystal remained on the ground, and without the Cursed Crow King, the strength of the Quicksand soldiers was even greater.

"This is a big problem. Dealing with so many magic classes at once is indeed difficult," said Du You, releasing a barrage of light arrows, taking advantage of the Quicksand soldiers who were releasing Ice-fire Explosions, creating numerous landmines.

Even as they used magic to block Du You’s light arrows, the priests did not notice his movement.

At that moment, the ground exploded, and the two Death Scorpions were continuously attacking each other, enjoying their struggle.

Despite not being able to defeat each other, the situation with the Desert Storm was different.

Du You’s Death Scorpion was being completely suppressed by the Desert Storm. Now surrounding them was the Desert Storm released by the opponent’s Death Scorpion. This storm directly affected all the human soldiers.

The losses on the side of the human soldiers suddenly increased. If they continued to stand their ground, they would probably not even have the strength to flee in the end. The suppression of the Desert Storm was partly due to the assistance of the opposing priests. Moreover, Du You found out that the opposing priest had the ability to calm the Desert Storm on his side.

Unsure if the opponent had any other abilities targeting the Death Scorpions, the Quicksand priests had an advantage with the Death Scorpions.

If they continued this way, Du You’s side’s losses might be even worse, so he couldn’t stay. Du You narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous gleam. "Since I’ve been constrained, let’s just not use it at all."

Du You decided to switch his piece; one for one.

It’s true that the Death Scorpion was hard to deal with, but the Death Scorpion was the nemesis of the Death Scorpion itself, most effectively suppressing its own kind.

The reason was that Death Scorpions could always sense the whereabouts of their own species. Generally, Death Scorpions wouldn’t fight with their own kind because it was unnecessary. But this time, the situation was different.

Upon Du You’s command, the quicksand on his Death Scorpion exploded instantly. The other Death Scorpion did not expect its kind to do this, resulting in much of its Desert Armor being blown off.

Before it could repair its Desert Armor, Du You’s Death Scorpion had turned black from its original dark gold. The aura on its body was wildly restrained.

"Not good, it’s a Death Raid, has he gone mad?"

The Priest Chief couldn’t help but shout out. He couldn’t believe that the human on the other side could be so crazy. The Death Scorpion was sacred, and unless there was a dire situation, the priests would never let the Death Scorpion fight to the death. They certainly wouldn’t use such a desperately mutually-destructive tactic.

Throughout their history, the number of times Death Raid was used was very few. Who would have guessed that this legendary skill would be used against themselves?

No, just when the priest was preparing to dodge, he suddenly found out that the target of the opposing Death Scorpion was not him, but his own Death Scorpion. Describing a Scorpion sacrificing itself against another Scorpion as insanity was an understatement.

But there was no other choice. The Death Scorpion had already rushed into the quicksand with full force, hitting another of its own kind.
