Chapter 408: Chapter 408

"In that direction, demons won’t construct buildings; they only wreak havoc. If there are buildings, they must have been made by humans or at least sentient beings in this world. We should head there first to collect some information," said Du You.

In an unfamiliar new world, Du You needed to gather intel, or else it would be a step-by-step struggle to survive.

Meanwhile, Xiaozi was hovering in mid-air, scanning the terrain, trying to locate the points marked on the map. However, she failed to recognize any places, so she could only try to collect some information about this world first.

Not long after they set off, large flocks of black birds appeared in the sky. These birds seemed similar to crows, but they possessed sharp teeth within their beaks, hinting at a variation in their species.

Black-Toothed Bird: Level 5.

A vast amount of these feathered creatures surged towards Xiaozi, completely ignoring the oppression of the level difference.

Angered, Xiaozi generated a swirl of purple current around herself, immediately turning nearby black-toothed birds into charcoal. Then, her body flashed with a purple light which spread to her whole body before shooting out from her.

A phantom light of violet painted its path, turning all black-toothed birds to grey ashes before they fell from the sky.

This was Xiaozi’s new skill, Thunder Doppelganger. An eagle was comprised of purple lightning identical to Xiaozi, but it moved even faster due to its lack of a physical form.

Merely touching the purple thunder eagle would cause an electrifying effect. It could function independently in battle and, just like Xiaozi, it could use the Thunder Light Orb. As Du You regarded this scene, it seemed it could use all of Xiaozi’s thunder and lightning abilities.

Looking at the situation, it wouldn’t take much time to annihilate the black-toothed birds.

However, at that moment, an arrow soared up towards the sky. Du You furrowed his brows and turned to look at Lin Yushi. As it turned out, the arrow was fired by Lin Yushi herself.

"Why did it have no effect?" Lin Yushi watched as her arrow struck a black-toothed bird, yet failed to inflict any injuries but only knocked off a few feathers. She was obviously disappointed.

Du You rubbed his temples, "Have you forgotten again? The top priority in the Other World is always safety. Those birds are of a level far above yours, yet you still try to fight them. If I weren’t here to protect you, you would be in grave danger."

Lin Yucha tugged at her younger sister, sharply rapping her head.

Lin Yushi realized her mistake and quickly apologized. Nonetheless, Du You didn’t have the patience to deal with them, especially since Lin Yushi’s arrow had attracted the birds’ attention towards him.

A large portion of the black-toothed birds that had failed to take down Xiaozi split off and began flying towards the three on the ground. Now that they could sense imminent danger, Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha’s faces paled with fear. Despite shaking, they lifted their bow and arrows.

Du You gave a slight nod, appreciating their determination to continue fighting in the face of danger. They would be worthwhile to cultivate.

For those unable to act when danger arose, Du You wasn’t sure if he should continue training them. But now, it was his turn to fight as the incoming black-toothed birds were far higher-level than Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi. Even with his skills, he wasn’t certain he could guard the two high-level birds successfully.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Holy Light Arrow Array. Even though the power of this magic was reduced in Du You’s hand, it was still not something the black-toothed birds could resist. Immediately, a thousand arrows soared from the ground up into the sky.

Considering they were up against these creatures of evil attributes, the effect of the Holy Light Arrows was devastating.

The black-toothed birds that were flying downwards, as well as many in the air, were wiped out by Du You.

However, Du You noticed one thing. His magic did not exempt Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi from its effects, implying that they weren’t just like him entirely.

In this case, he would have to be careful with his Mucus Swamp spell. Because after the swamp ignited to release its toxic fumes, it might have an effect on the two ladies. Well, I’ll find an opportunity to test it when I have an antidote handy, he thought.

If his abilities worked on the two without distinguishing friend from foe, then some battle strategies would need modifications.

"Wow, Master, you’re so powerful", Lin Yushi’s eyes sparkled with admiration. She hadn’t expected their usually gentle master to possess such tremendous power, completely wiping out the mighty creatures she could not hurt.

Though Lin Yucha said nothing, her eyes shone even brighter.

Du You nodded, feeling a bit delighted. It felt gratifying being admired by two beauties. But he didn’t let himself become too complacent.

Seeing that Xiaozi had already cleared out most of the Black-Toothed Birds, and the rest had scattered and escaped in the distance, Du You signaled them to continue their journey.

After a while, the trio noticed new creatures. In the desolate landscape, several strange figures were bouncing around. They were of infant size, but with proportionally bigger heads. Their lower limbs were short, and their hands were long with sharp claws. They had two tusks in their mouths, and their skin appeared in a sickening shade of greenish-grey, looking exceptionally bizarre.

Demonic Ghost: Level 2.

Yes, the seemingly repulsive creatures were only Level-2. They were not a result of mutation but were a kind of demonic creatures, as their vile demonic power was immediately recognized by Du You.

"Now, you two can attempt to fight. Get used to it because it will be beneficial for you later on," said Du You, gesturing at the demonic ghosts. The sight of such eerie creatures made Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha uncomfortable, but being inhabitants of this world, they managed to suppress their unpleasant feelings.

Lin Yucha was the first to pull on her bowstring. She activated her Snipe skill and a white glow twirled and flickered around the arrow. After taking aim for a moment, she released her arrow.

The arrow flew out instantly, traversed a hundred meters, and struck a demonic ghost in the head. The arrow was launched from a powerful bow and was reinforced by Lin Yucha’s skill, hence its impact was far greater than that of a normal arrow.

There was no obstruction as the arrow instantly pierced through the demonic ghost’s head, pinning it to the ground and killing it in the next moment. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel•fire.net

Watching the Demonic Ghost die eased the unease in the sisters’ hearts. It seemed that these terrifying-looking creatures weren’t so formidable after all.

Nevertheless, their attacks attracted the attention of the other demonic ghosts. Emitting disturbing cries much like those of infants, the ghosts began bouncing towards them with the intention of having them for dinner.

The sisters pressed their lips together, drew their arrows, and one by one, pinned the approaching demonic ghosts to the ground.
