Chapter 335: Chapter 335

As night fell, the four squads gradually came to a halt, needing rest.

Though Baobao was still full of energy, Xi Qianxue could go no further. Her magic power was almost exhausted, and continued persistence would cause her to lose her combat strength. Furthermore, her vision was not as good at night.

Wang Cunfeng and Li Mingyuan were in the same predicament. By the afternoon, their magic power had depleted and they had to rest. If they pushed further, they wouldn’t be able to maintain their magic power.

The Ghost King and the Tiger King initially expended quite a bit of energy but then conserved it. However, the Ghost King needed to constantly consume spiritual power to sustain his zombies. The Tiger King also had to use spells during combat, resulting in a significant drain on his magic power. By nightfall, the two of them couldn’t hold on any longer.

The Tiger King withdrew his tigers, and the Ghost King disbanded his spell, letting his zombies lie on the ground. They quickly left to find places to rest.

Li Xian and Dian Hao consumed their energy even faster. As warriors, they should have more endurance than mages, but that was under normal circumstances.

Now they were battling a massive Black Tribe, a single spell by a mage cost a lot, but it also took out a lot of enemies.

They had to kill one enemy after another, consuming energy every time, so they had to rest earlier than the mages. They rested briefly at noon and then couldn’t hold on any longer by evening.

The only one still fighting was Du You, his magic power was abundant as he usually only used the Mucus Curse. The consumption from this spell was sometimes not even as much as his own recovery speed.

Therefore, Du You’s magic power was close to being full most of the time. Xiaozi’s physical strength was also increasingly strong with every level up. After flying for a day, Xiaozi could still go on with Du You at night. The night was a good time for an attack, as long as they found the source of light and cast a spell, they couldn’t miss.

But the Black Tribe was not stupid; they seemed to have discovered the reason behind their attacks.

By late-night, Du You could no longer see any firelight. "Are they sleeping, or have they realized that I’m targeting their light?" He had eliminated more enemies during the brief hours of midnight than during the entire daylight hours.

He was earning more and more crystal coins, soon having enough to restore his Dissolution Spell. The extraction of a spell from a magic wand wasn’t something anyone could afford.

Gradually, Du You noticed that the Black Tribe had put out their fires and he could no longer attack. Even though his night vision was strong, it was still hard to find the hidden members of the Black Tribe from the air.

The Black Tribe usually slept out in the open, yet now, they had learned to hide. Du You didn’t know how the Black Tribe communicated with the other villages.

Having no choice, Du You had to ask Xiaozi to land so he could find a place to rest.

Xiaozi had been flying all day; it was impossible to not feel tired.

"Good, let’s stop here. This is close to their central point. If we find the Black Tribe chief and kill him, the effect will be significant. It’s a shame I can’t take on any other missions, otherwise, given what I’ve done now, I’d definitely get a large treasure chest," Du You muttered to himself.

The night passed quickly, and the next day, Du You resumed his flight on Xiaozi. From a distance, he saw something unfamiliar in several nearby villages.

It was a pole erected temporarily, but there was a bright red sphere on top of the pole.

Before Du You could investigate, he suddenly felt a pull underneath him. Xiaozi was descending towards the ground without his command. "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing, why are we going down, we’re still at the foot of the mountain!"

Xiaozi emitted a wronged sound, with her wings flapping restlessly. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

"What? It wasn’t you who wanted to go down? Then what’s happening?"

Du You quickly opened his panel, and a red mark was on it.

"Entered the range of the No-fly Air Sphere, first-tier flight ability nullified within range."

"No-fly Air Sphere? What’s that? Wait, could it be that thing? Does the Black Tribe have such advanced treasures?" Du You felt wronged as he watched helplessly as Xiaozi descended.

Before they had fully landed, Du You saw many Black Tribe warriors raising their weapons and running towards them. Clearly, the No-fly Air Sphere wasn’t always in place, it was set up to counter him. With his persistent attacks, he must have really troubled the Black Tribe warriors. Du You didn’t know whether to be proud or frustrated.

"These shamans really don’t follow ordinary logic, their methods are always riddled with mystery and strangeness."

"Wait, we can’t stay here, we must leave quickly. If we get surrounded here, it won’t be good." Du You hadn’t been dazzled by his own achievements, he knew his limits.

If he was surrounded by numerous Black Tribe warriors, without excluding any special methods the Black Tribe might have, he wouldn’t be able to wipe them out before his magic power was depleted. It would be extremely dangerous.

Therefore, he couldn’t fight the Black Tribe in the open. Du You turned to look at the small hill behind him. "Two peaks with only one passageway in between, this is a good spot." Du You called Xiaozi back and ran towards the hill.

Although the terrain might not be perfect, it would be very advantageous for him. Moreover, running in that direction could take him away from the effects of the No-fly Air Sphere. He might even be able to fly again.

The Black Tribe warriors and shamans had also noticed Du You’s direction, and quickly changed their pursuit course. A large number of Black Tribe warriors gathered in Du You’s direction.

A doppelganger of Teacher Li, who had been following Du You, also became excited. Since Du You had been flying, Teacher Li could only follow on foot. Now that the tide was finally turning, even Teacher Li, who had been running around, had complaints.

Before the Black Tribe could surround him, Du You finally reached the spot between the two peaks. The small, rugged paths of the hills behind would slow down the Black Tribe, allowing only the front entrance for access. To Du You’s dismay, Xiaozi still couldn’t fly.
