Chapter 492: Chapter 492
Gradually, the women finished vomiting and finally calmed their minds. With constant adaptation to the environment here, everyone’s mentality was much more stable than before. It seemed that a battlefield was just that - a place of chaos and conflict.
Though many of them had only recently begun their training and were only at level one, it was still a great achievement to be able to contribute to the battle.
But Shaliya and the others were just too weak, with very little magic power. After fighting for a while, their magic power was almost depleted. "Alright, you guys can go. Staying here won’t make much of a difference," Du You announced.
Shaliya nodded. This time, their main goal was to adapt and allow the others to experience the cruelty of this world.
Without understanding the harshness of this world, how could they possibly survive in it? They used to have their own families and duchy to protect them. Now, they could only rely on themselves, and on Du You.
Once the others had left, Shaliya stayed though, even without magic power, she remained by Du You’s side.
The sight before her made Shaliya uncomfortable, but still, she kept her eyes wide open to take it all in.
Du You didn’t bother to care about her, he just kept on attacking. His formidable power and seemingly inexhaustible magic power also shocked Shaliya.
She had never seen such a powerful mage in her duchy.
"Oh, the second wave is here." Suddenly, Du You noticed a figure appearing in the distance.
When this wave arrived, however, Du You’s expression changed, as he felt several threatening auras from the opposing side. Those were not ordinary people but Sandmen who had reached the second tier.
They were primarily Quicksand Soldiers and Priests, but after reaching the second tier, they were no longer that easy to deal with. Even Du You began to feel a headache coming on.
"The second wave is already this tough. The third wave might be even more dangerous. No wonder the others have to reach the level of Colonists to qualify to establish a territory. This siege is truly perilous.
In front of him, tens of thousands of Sandmen appeared again. However, at least two thousand of them were at the second tier. If these second-tier Sandmen weren’t so weak, Du You would have to reconsider whether to abandon his territory. Even though he values his territory, he would never jeopardize his life for it.
Such an army of Sandmen should not appear in a place , yet they did.
Shaliya had a hunch that it must have something to do with this special territory. They could not figure out the specific situation, but Du You’s usual performance had already explained a lot.
"Let’s do our best. Be careful," Du You said through the monitor.
Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi responded and started using their special arrows. Powered by the added strength, a bolt of thunder and lightning descended from the sky, wiping out a large number of Sandmen.
Lin Yucha precisely targeted those at higher levels, striving to eliminate one with each arrow. At this moment, there was no time to conserve magic power, they hastily used all kinds of potions.
If it weren’t for their month-long cultivation, which led to a significant improvement in their skills, they would be even more short of magic power now.
At this point, Du You’s pets finally joined the battle. The Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs charged directly into the enemy’s ranks. Relying on their special constitution that didn’t fear exhaustion, they furiously attacked everything around them, treating the Sandmen like bugs.
Every now and then, the Sandmen would leave a scar on the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, but the wounds would heal up pretty quickly. With the Demonic Dogs taking the heat upfront, the pressure at the rear was significantly reduced.
The Death Scorpion remained hidden, but it continuously manipulated the sand underground for attacks and distractions.
Meanwhile, the curses from the Ghost Pattern Crow were also released unceasingly. Although its tune was harsh to the ears, it had to be utilized at this critical hour.
Now, Xiaozi was not as relaxed as before. In this wave, a numerous Sand Sculptures appeared in the sky. Xiaozi had to constantly deal with them. Though there were no second-tier ones among the Sand Sculptures, their number was simply too large.
There were more than fifty of them, and it would take Xiaozi some time to eliminate these fearless Sand Sculptures.
As for Du You, he was holding up just fine. He regularly fired Dark Flame Arrow Arrays in triple shots, but he hadn’t used the Putrid Insect Mist yet. Looking at the growing pile of corpses on the ground, Du You planned to use this power at the end.
"Humph, I’d like to see what the world’s will can come up with." Du You glared at the scene before him, coldly. With the Slaughter Badge, Du You didn’t worry about exhausting his magic power as it regenerated very quickly.
The number of orbs in his personal space growing, but Du You didn’t have time to tidy them up, so they just kept accumulating.
With his incessant murdering, eventually, a mighty presence from the rear appeared. The leader of the second wave, a sixteen-level Quicksand Priest, was slowly approaching. The surrounding sand swirled to form a large cloud of mist.
"There he is, take him out," Du You announced.
Lin Yucha had been preparing for this, purposely letting the Quicksand Priest come closer. Then, a deadly poisonous concoction was thrown, piercing through the weak spot of the Priest’s defense and hitting him.
The strong poison spread. The Sandman’s resistance to poison was indeed strong, but against a tier-two potent poison, he was still affected. Following that, nine Thunder Light Orbs were dropped consecutively by Xiaozi, who had just finished dealing with the Sand Sculptures.
Finally, the leader of the second wave had been eliminated. The rest were no longer so troublesome. But what set Du You on edge was that while his magic power was still in good shape, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi had already used up nearly half of theirs.
The third wave would be clearly more dangerous, a fact that left Du You somewhat uncertain.
"You should go, we have one final wave to face. If we can stand our ground, then we can secure our footing here. If it turns out we can’t, I will take you and run," Du You told Shaliya. As the manager of this territory, he didn’t want to lie to her. The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
Shaliya’s face turned a little pale, but she shook her head and said, "No, I want to stay and watch. I am the deputy lord of Mountain Town. Even if there’s danger, I want to see it with my own eyes."
This woman was really stubborn, Du You thought. "Alright then. But be careful and stay close to me," he said, while continuing to clear out the Sandmen in front of him. At that moment, the third wave finally started. An overwhelmingly large army approached from a distance, creating a tremendous pressure that even Du You could feel.
