Chapter 409: Chapter 409

Although there aren’t many demonic ghosts, they still pose a potential threat when gathered together.

Each slaughtered demonic ghost drained its essence as it perished, the body deflating as though it was entirely filled with a liquid, and no ordinary one at that.

The spilled liquid corroded the ground, turning it pitch black. All plants that came into contact with it withered instantaneously, eventually dying.

Suddenly, a dark light burst from the arrows in Lin Yushi’s hand. Ten dark energy arrows flew out, instantly clearing the surrounding demonic ghosts and resolving the immediate threat.

With only a few left, the two swiftly finished them off with their arrows.

The arrows that had been shot couldn’t be retrieved. The corrosive ability of the demonic ghost completely disintegrated the arrows. However, the arrows Du You bought were merely made of high-quality steel. Nothing too advanced.

They still had a considerable amount in their inventory. The loss of a few wasn’t heartbreaking. Get full chapters from 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi exchanged a glance. Despite being out of breath, their faces were adorned with smiles. This was their first encounter with actual combat, and it greatly boosted their confidence.

Having only used their abilities once along with physical attacks, the two felt a significant toll on their energy. But the victory filled them with satisfaction.

Du You discovered a new problem - the light balls dropped by the demonic ghosts slain by the two didn’t go to them. Instead, they were added to her inventory, which only she could access.

The white crystal coins they looted couldn’t be used without her permission.

It seemed that her authority as a master was far greater than expected.

However, Du You also noticed that despite their superior kills, they only obtained a measly couple of light balls. The drop rates were incredibly low, unless it was just this area, or maybe it was her fault.

Du You noticed that when she personally killed these demonic ghosts, she could only get one or two light balls, if she was lucky.

Although the two were of a low level, when counted as a unit with her, they had to count according to her level. Her level wasn’t the same as theirs, a low drop rate was only expected then.

Du You didn’t delve too deep, brutally discarding the gathered demonic ghost essence. Beyond its corrosive ability, it served no other useful purpose, plus it was exceptionally disgusting. She definitely didn’t want it.

"Let’s go, we must continue on our journey." After a brief rest, Du You resumed their journey.

Along the way, Du You dealt with any powerful creatures they encountered. She made it look as easy as being on vacation, which made the two sisters realize the true extent of their mistress’s power.

They let Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha deal with weaker and fewer enemies. With ample potions and weapon supply, and through the fights they had along the way, the sisters were quickly getting the hang of things.

Their adaptability was much faster than hers. Throughout the journey, the two seemed as experienced as veterans who have endured countless battles. Aptitude certainly played a crucial role in this.

Eventually, they arrived at the location of the building outline Du You had seen. Only then did she realize that what she saw was not a group of buildings, but an endless city wall.

If it weren’t for the dark red colour of the wall, and if the wall’s height didn’t surpass fifty meters, Du You would have mistaken this for the Great Wall. However, the radiance on the wall signaled Du You that this wall was imbued with magic arrays.

Behind the wall was a city, and perhaps there were other cities farther off that seemed embedded within the wall. On the ground nearby, one could see dried-up, dark red splatters - blood that might’ve been spilled years ago. The oppressive, murderous aura gave Du You a sense of dread.

Upon arriving at the city, Du You noticed the words ’No.33 Solid Wall City’ etched onto it.

"The ’Solid Wall’ must refer to this wall. I wonder what No.33 refers to. How many cities are embedded within this wall? Such a city would be mammoth in scale."

Du You herself was full of awe, stunned by the manpower and resources it must’ve taken to build such a wall.

Just then, a group of people walked towards the city.

At the city entrance, a white light enveloped the group. Most of them took this in stride. However, among the crowd, a person suddenly began emitting a dark aura, twisting horrendously.

The human facade shattered, revealing a demon with bright red skin.

"It’s a shape-shifting demon, kill it quickly!" The people nearby were the first to react.

Before the guards atop the wall could act, the others had already attacked. Their actions were decisive and ruthless. The shape-shifting demon barely managed to put up a fight before being torn apart by the massive blades of the surrounding people.

"Alright, come in. Remember to follow the rules," Said one of the soldiers.

The few who had just slain the shape-shifting demon looked noticeably downcast. The demon had impersonated one of their companions, meaning their comrade had been killed.

Having lost a comrade on a mission was disheartening for anyone. However, these soldiers had experienced this countless times, they merely observed them normally, offering no words of comfort.

"What a dangerous and cruel world." Du You entered the Other World many times, but this was the first time she encountered such a brutal world. The cruelty here made her previous adventures in the realm of the Giant Beasts seem almost hopeful.

Du You, Lin Yucha, and Lin Yushi made their way towards the city. Above the city, a mirror-like device emitted a white glow and enveloped the group. Nothing happened.

As expected, the device only detected demonic creatures and was ineffective against her, a human. Seeing none of them possessed any threat, the guards showed no other reaction, maintaining their vigilance with wary eyes.

Only one soldier opened up the small gate to let them inside. "Remember to follow the rules."

After uttering this, the soldier immediately closed the gate, remaining alert as always.

As to what the rules were, Du You saw them posted on the city walls. The plank upon which they were written was old, and many characters were indistinct. However, thanks to her superior translation capabilities, she was able to decipher them.

After scanning the board’s content, Du You calmly walked towards the city.
