Chapter 288: Chapter 288

"Damn it, this thing’s attack range is too vast! Where the hell did it come from? I can’t believe that the sewers could possibly churn out something ."

Although Du You knew that this creature looked like a collection of seaweed, he was certain that it was not a seaweed monster but a kind of unknown beast. Moreover, this beast was psychic type.

The Cursed Crow King beside him tilted its head, looking at Du You. The beast’s wide-ranging psychic attacks didn’t harm the Cursed Crow King much. But the Cursed Crow King’s attacks weren’t affecting the enemy either.

This place was too small for the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs. Xiaozi couldn’t do much, and releasing thunder and lightning here could risk an explosion. As for the Death Scorpion, it also didn’t serve any purpose since there was no sand to convert here.

Now, Du You had no choice but to engage in an exhausting standoff with the seaweed monster. It was a test of endurance to see who would fall first.

Du You’s Holy Light Arrows, due to their attribute, restrained the enemy. Even though the enemy’s dark energies were incredibly strong, they were still corroded by the power of the Holy Light. Every Holy Light Arrow that struck released at least double of its might. If the seaweed monster wasn’t that large, spanning an entire area, it would already have been corroded entirely.

Meanwhile, Du You had to cover his head with one hand and cast spell attacks with the other.

Du You’s thoughts were becoming fuzzy. He couldn’t predict what might happen if he continued . All his willpower was focused on casting his Holy Light Arrow Array at the monstrous beast.

After a two-minute standoff, Du You suddenly felt the pressure lessen significantly.

"That’s the Curse Aura, nicely done."

DU You tilted his head, sensing that the Curse Aura had just shifted, turning into the Pain Curse. Even creatures of darkness that lacked perception would experience pain when corroded by Holy Light.

The enemy’s psychic power was enormous and it had a unique structure. It seemed it had no resistance against pain. After the amplification of the agony by Pain Aura, the enemy’s psychic attack wavered, thereby substantially reducing Du You’s pressure.

Without any hesitation, Du You unleashed his full power, the Holy Light Arrow Array. The psychic assault earlier had kept Du You so disrupted that he hadn’t even been able to incorporate the Spell Splitting Skill into his spells. Du You was facing this drawback for the first time.

Usually, he used the Spell Splitting Skill flexibly, combining it with other spells, as if it were a single spell. Now, Du You had finally figured out that two spells were just that: two separate spells. He still wasn’t capable of merging them.

Now, while the enemy was in chaos, Du You went all-out. The nine-tier spell-splitting was pushed to its maximum. The entire sewer lit up brighter than daylight, turning the tunnel white.

After using up almost half of his magic power in one go, Du You finally had to stop, panting heavily.

Looking up with difficulty, he saw that the seaweed monster had been completely evaporated by the Holy Light. All that was left on the ground was a black puddle of some unknown substance. Nearby creatures collapsed almost simultaneously, appearing lifeless.

What Du You didn’t know was that in the first layer of the sewer, many creatures had suddenly come to their senses, disturbed by some terrifying thought, and began to flee. Even if their natural enemies were right next to them, they couldn’t care less.

The first layer of the sewer was now in chaos, and the chaos was spreading.

Du You held his head, feeling his temple throb relentlessly. If he had a mirror, he would have seen his eyes filled with bloodshot streaks, looking as if he hadn’t slept for days.

Deep within his brain, there were spasms, seemingly similar to symptoms of high blood pressure but undoubtedly more painful. The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

After a long while, Du You slowly straightened up, "Finally killed it. Thank god this thing can only use area attacks. If it could concentrate such vast psychic energy, even a tier-two creature wouldn’t be able to withstand it."

Du You couldn’t believe that this strange creature could possess such formidable psychic power. It wasn’t about quality, but quantity. Its psychic power was so enormous that even Du You’s psychic strength couldn’t compare.

Slowly approaching, Du You looked at the black ashes on the ground. Suddenly, Du You swept away some ash from the ground, revealing a drab round object underneath.

"A Spiritual Fruit, could this be a material drop?"

Earth monsters, of course, wouldn’t drop any items when defeated, but they would leave a corpse, which could be used as materials.

This monster hadn’t left a corpse, but this object seemed to have come from the monster itself.

Spiritual Fruit: The essence of a Marsh Demonic Beast’s accumulated psychic power. Absorbing its power could enhance one’s psychic cultivation.

The description was simple, but having sensed it, Du You found that the psychic power within the fruit was incredibly enormous and pure. If he could use this for cultivation, it would be of great help.

"It seems that this adventure isn’t a loss after all...ah, my head..." Just as Du You was about to start laughing, an intense headache had him reaching for his head again. Du You knew his current condition was dire.

If there happens to be another troublesome monster, he would definitely die. He had no idea whether there were any other things in these sewers. Although the sewers were now very clean—there were no strange people and no organizations—apart from rats, there weren’t any other thriving creatures here.

But since such strange creatures had appeared here, Du You was still worried.

It would be wise to leave here as soon as possible. With this thought, Du You prepared to turn around and leave.

But just then, Du You squinted his eyes because he saw something around the corner. Two steps to the side, he finally saw what the object was: a pair of human feet.

"A person? How could there be a person in a place ? Wait, they’re lying here... could they be dead? If they’re alive, they should have reacted to all that noise. Could it be that this creature has started to capture humans?"

Du You had initially thought that the creature was just capturing small animals. But with the appearance of a human, the situation was different.

After pondering for a moment, Du You decided to go take a look. After all, that was a person. Not fazed by the sight of a dead person, Du You only prepared himself for potential danger and sent the Cursed Crow King to inspect. Right, why should he, the master, take such risks when he has a summoned beast to do the job?

Poor Cursed Crow King, it was once again unwittingly being used by Du You to probe the situation. The Cursed Crow King flew over and began clawing and pecking at the person. But the person didn’t react at all, confirming that they were indeed dead.
