Chapter 420: Chapter 420

"Forget it, let’s rest today and clean up tomorrow. We still have three days left anyway."

Seeing that the two sisters were already very fatigued, Du You suggested they rest. They couldn’t handle as much as him, he was now a hunter, yet they were only level 1 awakeners.

While the energy of awakeners is certainly strong, it was their first time journeying into such a dangerous part of the Other World. They had not directly participated in any battles, but they had remained in a state of high tension the whole time. Check latest chapters at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽

That they had managed to hold up this long was proof of the strength of their willpower.

Du You pitched a tent for them to rest in, and commanded his pets to stand guard outside. Given the limited personal space, it wasn’t cost-effective to carry two tents, one was enough. This is what Du You told himself.

These two will eventually be his, and there was nothing wrong with them lying together for now, Du You consoled himself.

However, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi were uncomfortable, with Du You lying between them. They were so close that they could hear Du You’s breathing. The sisters kept their eyes shut, their faces slightly reddened with hurried breaths.

After a long while of being half-asleep, they somehow managed to fall asleep. On the contrary, Du You, who was always thinking, did not feel discomfort. After all, he never slept much, so it hardly mattered to him.

Soul Pierce: Concentrate spiritual power to form a spike that pierces an enemy’s soul. Lack of sufficient soul power could result in immediate death. (level 11, 10 stars)

This was the new skill he had solidified today, giving him another attack method.

The crucial aspect was that Soul Pierce was not a rule-type skill, so he could control its power. Du You found that if he didn’t go all out, he could reduce the power of the skill.

If he could control it sufficiently, he could exercise restraint when dealing with enemies he didn’t want to kill.

He had no such control over his Disintegration Spell, which would execute its effect by itself once it hit the target. It was fine for killing enemies but useless for capturing them.

And his Holy Light Arrow Array was even more dramatic, given its large-scale attack. Du You considered himself lucky if he could control it even just slightly. For him, to cause just enough damage without killing was very challenging.

And so, the night passed. Early the next morning, Du You opened his eyes and discovered that the two sisters had already left the tent and were preparing breakfast. He didn’t know when they had left.

Upon seeing Du You emerge, both girls blushed and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Du You rolled his eyes. It wasn’t like he had done anything. "Alright, let’s eat first, then continue cleaning."

After eating, they set off toward their next target. Du You had already investigated the mine here yesterday. There were three mines in total within the mining area.

The first and shortest one was not too deep, as if it had been newly excavated before the accident occurred. When they arrived there, Du You found that it was full of Little Demons - three of them were tier two, the rest were tier one.

"Not too many. It wouldn’t matter if we collapse this place. Death Scorpion, your turn." At Du You’s signal, the Death Scorpion advanced. Even a cave couldn’t stop the power of Sandification.

Inside, there was a messy sound. When the noise subsided, the Death Scorpion came out with three demon magic crystals. This mine was now cleared out.

Upon opening the sphere, he obtained a special claw weapon from the Little Demon’s Claw.

Little Demon’s Claw: Attack 12, absorbs enemy’s strength with each attack (light red)

It’s not very useful, but he kept it anyways before moving on to the next mine. The second mine was much deeper, so Du You couldn’t send in the Death Scorpion alone. His summoned creatures couldn’t wander too far from him. Now that he had become a hunter, Du You had tested that once a summoned creature was more than 1000 meters away from him, it would automatically return to his summoning space.

"The place ahead may be more dangerous, so be careful and stay close to me." Instead of leaving a summoned beast for protection, it was better to have the two women follow him through.

The two girls firmly nodded, staying close behind Du You.

The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs were too large to enter. The Death Scorpion had shrunk itself after withdrawing its Quicksand Armor and entered the cave to take the lead. As for the rear, Du You could only rely on the Cursed Crow King and Xiaozi for protection.

"Seems like we really need to manufacture more summoned beasts soon. I will try to find Tier Two Dark Element Stones when we return." Du You thought to himself while steadily moving deeper into the mine.

This mine was not dug in a crisscross pattern, but in a straight line with only two offshoots. Du You saw this when he entered the cave and saw a stone tablet not far from the entrance.

The tablet recorded the general layout of the mine. This was the second smallest mine.

The largest mine was more complex with countless forks inside.

Not long after entering, Du You encountered his enemy. "It’s a Horned Demon, the target of our main mission."

The creature in front of him had all sorts of horns all over its body. There were several on its head, and even its joints had horns. Anywhere you looked on its body, you would see a weapon. Being hit anywhere would undoubtedly hurt.

Such physical strength definitely shouldn’t be underestimated. The one he encountered just now was Level Two.

However, after Du You used a Disintegration Spell, he found that this creature wasn’t too much of a concern. All of the Horned Demon’s power was used to enhance its physical strength, making it extremely physically powerful.

However, it did not have the demonic energy that could be utilized for outward defense, which made it unable to neutralize his Disintegration Spell. Its magic resistance wasn’t very high either. At least that was the case for the level two Horned Demons. Against Du You’s Disintegration Spell, they had absolutely no resistance.

After a Disintegration Spell, all the horns on the Horned Demon fell off, and it lay on the ground, soon dying.

"Now that the main mission is completed, there’s nothing else to worry about." Du You smirked and continued on his journey.

When he reached a fork in the path, Du You had to stop. He discovered a large group of Horned Demons ahead. These Horned Demons had made this place their den.

At a glance, he couldn’t tell how many there were, but he sensed that there were at least a dozen level two Horned Demons. Along with the other Horned Demons, their number was at least a hundred.

"It’s too stifling in the mine. Although we won’t be surrounded, it would be troublesome to fight." After assessing the situation, Du You decided to attack head-on and exterminate the Horned Demons directly. The most he would end up doing is consume more magic power which, to him, wasn’t a big deal.
