Chapter 383: Chapter 383

That evening, for the first time, the Beastman City was attacked within its own walls, a strike that caused immense destruction. No one knew just how many beastmen were lost; it was impossible to count for now.

Throughout the night, practically no one in the city could afford to rest. Everyone was on high alert, vigilantly monitoring any movement from the outside. The upper class Beastmen, initially at rest, were collectively roused.

At this very moment, Du You, controlling Xiaozi, descended within a forest near Beastman City.

Any other location would risk exposure, it was safer in the forest. When airborne, Du You noticed a pursuing troops. He preferred not to be attacked while resting.

Upon landing, Xiaozi spread its wings towards Du You, incessantly nestling up against him. It was exuding a sense of injustice from its mind, extending its wings to show Du You its injuries.

On closer inspection, Du You could recall the situation was dangerous.

"This is a piercing wound; it’s not too serious, it just hit the wing. You go rest, it will heal by tomorrow," Du You soothed Xiaozi’s mood and sent it back to the summoning space.

Meanwhile, Du You experienced waves of fear after the fact. It was a good thing his reaction was quick; if it weren’t for his defensive barrier, that attack could have sent him plummeting.

Falling from that height, if the impact didn’t kill him, he would definitely be trapped inside the city which would spell his certain doom.

Du You knew his own limits; with ample magic power, those beastmen could not pose any real threat to him. However, once his magic power was depleted, it would certainly be a desperate situation.

The night was over quickly, but his magic power had just about halved. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

The attack was indeed terrifying, it penetrated his shield spell and even pierced through Xiaozi’s wing. Had the attack deviated even slightly, it would have pierced through him as well.

It appears he was complacent. In attacking Wood Shield City before, Du You assumed there wouldn’t be much difference between the two cities. Hence, he let his guard down.

Checking his panel, Du You, filled with gratitude, had a change of expression.

Your pet has been hit by a Magic Gathering Cannon, its wing is injured.

"Magic Gathering Cannon? What is it? Its style doesn’t seem to be from this world. Could it be a special alchemical product that gathers magic power for an attack? Wait, this doesn’t seem to be from this world."

Du You suddenly realized that he perhaps walked into a trap, he had all along thought that it was the Beastman attacking him. But on pondering deeper, it didn’t seem that simple.

If it were native to this world, then it was practically impossible. This world was only a tier one world; although tier two masters might exist, such cases were rare. Even if they were to emerge, they would be weak second-grade products. But the attack aimed at him was certainly not from a common tier two master.

If it were man-made, then the source of this attack would certainly be a powerful being among the second tiers.

But if it were a special weapon, it would be even more inconceivable. Weapons in this world had not seized the proportional amount of magic needed yet. Not to mention, this was a Beastman city.

Regardless of the place, such weapons were always used by powerful magic races first, Beastmen weren’t good at researching magic power. Wood Shield City did not possess such a weapon; therefore, it definitely was not given to Beastman City by humans.

"So it seems the only ones who could have done this are the Awakeners, or it could be the Hunters. It appears this world isn’t so simple; there are outsiders involved."

With a twitch of his eyes, Du You was persuasive; it would be better if they didn’t let him find them. Otherwise, Du You wouldn’t mind eliminating them.

While Du You was speculating, two figures in Beastman City looked into the sky, their faces bewildered.

"Can’t believe it. Our painstakingly launched Magic Gathering Cannon failed to kill him. Is he that powerful? Damn it, our carefully planned layout has been disrupted."

"Save the complaints, Jing Tian. You know this is just an attempt at probing. Our resources in the East Sea District are a bit tight recently, we must get support from the China Region. If our moves are exposed, it will be very disgraceful."

"I get it, Song Xia. But what about him? If he remains, we won’t succeed."

"Damn those people from the China Region, why do they always have so many geniuses while we always have to pay a hefty price to produce people who can rival their geniuses."

Song Xia fell silent for a while then said, "Let’s wait and see. If it doesn’t work, we’ll just retreat and report the situation as it is. We’re not the only ones who have failed."

"But I’m not willing to accept this. Each failure means losing a lot of resources and a blow to our dignity."

"You know how strong our Magic Gathering Cannon is, he was able to block it. I’m afraid it’s not that simple."

"Of course, I know. But I can tell that his strength hasn’t reached the Hunter level yet, so we still have a chance. The Magic Gathering Cannon can be used three times in total. One time is enough to carry out our plan. We can use it on him once. What do you think? If we fail, we will leave."

In the end, Song Xia, not knowing what to think, nodded firmly, "Okay, let’s fight for the revival of the East Sea District."

The two looked at each other, then quietly left the place and continued their arrangements.

As for the Beastmen around them, they saw nothing unusual, just as if they were looking at two similar Beastmen.

On the other side, Du You had quietly found a secluded place and was silently recovering his magic power. Meanwhile, he pondered how to deal with Beastman City next.

If it was just the natives, he wouldn’t be afraid. But with the inclusion of humans wielding powerful attacks, it was different. They had various means, who knew what abilities they might have. It seemed impossible to continue the attack on Beastman City.

Du You didn’t want to confront these unknown humans while dealing with the Beastmen. Who knew how many people had come this time? If a Hunter came, it would be troublesome. Hunters and tier two natives from the Other World were fundamentally different.

"Since I can’t break through from within, I’ll break through from the outside." Du You finally made up his mind.
