Chapter 416: Chapter 416

"According to the map, our destination is in the No.3 Canyon, but to access it, we need to pass through the first canyon, then enter the middle of the second canyon, and finally, we can reach the last canyon."

Du You pulled out the scanned map from his wristwatch. Now that he has found the location, this hand-drawn map was more accurate than the junior-level map he bought.

All the way, no one seemed to have been here before. There were no traces of other people either.

However, there were quite a few demons around. After progressing a short distance, Du You encountered a second-tier demon.

In front of him were a few second-tier petite demons, only five feet tall, and looked somewhat comical. Their iconic light red skin did not seem that terrifying.

However, if anyone underestimated them, they were in for some trouble. Each attack by these little demons could drain the opponent’s physical strength. Once surrounded by these little demons, even the strongest person could be caught in their trap.

Fortunately, his own Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs had the ability to absorb physical strength. Even if their strength was absorbed by the little demons, they could extract it back using the Exhaustion ability. It almost formed a balance. If not for this, Du You might indeed have faced danger in this ambush.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Du You used the Spell for support, and Xiaozi attacked from the sky, quickly eliminating these second-tier demons. He managed to reap the benefits once again.

"Not bad, finally got some more red Crystal Coins. It’s a pity that all these things are trash."

Du You looked at the materials and swords in his hand. How could a second-tier item still produce white items? Most of them were materials, but he genuinely had no use for these.

"Okay, let’s keep them for now." The items weren’t too big, so Du You put them away, planning to sell them in bundles when he got back. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Master, look ahead, there are traces of buildings. Could there be people living here?" Suddenly, Lin Yushi pointed ahead and exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Du You looked ahead and indeed saw many traces of human buildings. With a thought, Xiaozi had already flown over. Far away, near the entrance of the second canyon, a small town was visible.

However, the town looked exceptionally dilapidated, and there were people coming and going.

"Wait, something seems off." Du You furrowed his brows, refraining from moving forward.

These people seemed to wander aimlessly. They were in a daze and didn’t seem to be working or hiding from demons. No demons had entered, despite being nearby, as if they had mutual non-aggression. Moreover, these people did not seem normal.

"Could these people have been transformed from other creatures?" Du You remembered seeing a demon that had transformed into a human being at the city gate. It was discovered and killed on the spot.

These beings, looking very human-like, was a puzzle.

"Let’s go and check it out. We can’t back down now." Du You decided to move forward.

"If it’s really dangerous, let’s leave," Lin Yucha suggested, looking worried.

Du You shook his head, "No need. They are just some unknown beings. How could we give up without trying?"

Du You insisted on moving forward till he reached the entrance of the town. Instead of entering, he let the Cursed Crow King unfold the Curse Aura first. Many humanoid monsters were immediately enveloped by the Curse Aura.

"They aren’t reacting. Let’s try attacking." At Du You’s command, the Cursed Crow King released a massive shower of Feather Arrows. A torrent of feathers flew out, landing on the humanoid monsters.

Even though the damage wasn’t significant, it finally stirred the humanoid monsters into action.

Bone Spikes suddenly shot out from their bodies, puncturing their skin. Their original nails suddenly elongated into sharp claws, just like stilettos.

The entire body underwent a slight transformation, but it looked exceptionally ferocious.

There were no labels above them initially, but now they appeared.

Demon Corpse: Level 9

The level isn’t low, but they don’t seem very powerful. Du You silently noted because the Demon Corpse suffered injuries under the Feather Arrow’s attack, even though its power isn’t extraordinary.

Du You then released a large number of Holy Light Arrow Arrays. Although the Holy Light Arrow Array’s power decreased, its Holy Light Power still restrained these demons, so its effect was even better.

A dense layer of arrows covered the entire area, and then a large group of demons was eradicated.

Some Demon Corpses lay on the ground, struggling non-stop. Their vital organs were pierced, but they were still alive.

However, some died as they did not hit the vital spots. It seemed like these things were quite different from normal humans. "Cut open one and see what’s inside."

Underground, a figure made of sand appeared and cut open a Demon Corpse. Inside the human body, Du You discovered that the organs were almost hollow, replaced by some bizarre, pitch-black creatures.

They looked somewhat like a giant parasite, wiggling inside like intestines. A special bug was directly connected to the brain through the spinal cord. The insides of this human body had been profoundly altered.

Upon witnessing this horrifying scene, the sibling pair, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, turned pale and instinctively shrank back. Even Du You who made the discovery was genuinely terrified.

Those that died were the parasites that had been purified, and those still struggling were carrying a few still alive.

These demonic worms were to blame for turning human bodies into zombified versions. Judging by the attire and weapons of these people, they were probably miners and their families.

"This was originally a mining site, so this small town should have been established by the miners."

Although he didn’t know how long they had been dead, no one could have guessed that they’d continue to be manipulated. "Death Scorpion, you kill them off, clean up and don’t leave any corpses behind. It’s disgusting to look at." Du You didn’t even feel like doing it himself.

In an instant, a sandstorm started. The sand and dust flooded the surroundings. The Death Scorpion, now at level 11, was so powerful that even the first-tier Demon Corpses couldn’t resist. Soon their flesh was torn to shreds, and the internal demonic worms died within a few seconds of losing their protection.
