Chapter 496: Chapter 496

Now it was too late for Shaliya to go down. Du You pulled Shaliya towards the edge of the city wall. "We need to keep a distance, be careful not to get involved," Du You quickly said.

As the two of them ran to the side, they cautiously attacked the sandballs coming from the air.

At a distance, the rank-three Quicksand Soldier had turned into a real Insect Ball. As for the other sandpeople, they were almost invisible by now. Dealing with the Carrion Dark Scarabs, which had reached the 16th-tier skill release, wasn’t exactly easy.

A large swarm of beetles were gnawing away, continuously offsetting the Dou Qi of the Quicksand Soldier. The rate at which the Quicksand Soldier was consuming his Dou Qi was really fast, and there was absolutely no way to see what was happening outside.

"Why would a third-tier Quicksand Soldier appear? Aren’t they the most powerful beings in the border regions? Why would they appear here?" Shaliya’s trembling voice sounded behind Du You.

"It’s hard to explain. Just know that their appearance here is an unexpected inevitability."

Shaliya didn’t understand what Du You meant, but she understood that Du You must have known in advance about the appearance of the Quicksand Soldier. In fact, Du You had no idea - if he had known, he would have made more preparations.

He really got screwed over by those lot, Du You silently cursed in his heart.

Behind them, Lin Yucha was firing arrows at the sand sculptures and Sand Sculpture Knights in the air. After a protracted battle, there were only three of them left in the air. Buildings within the territory had suffered some damage, but fortunately, no important ones were completely destroyed. At most, there were only a few houses.

The remaining three sand sculptures didn’t want to leave. But after they were reduced to just these three, the pressure on Lin Yucha was significantly reduced.

If these three dared to come down, Lin Yucha was confident she could take them out. would never let them continue their destruction.

Meanwhile, Lin Yushi couldn’t get involved in the battle, she could only watch from afar.

Suddenly, the Quicksand Soldier erupted, and a wave of Dou Qi slashed out from within the Insect Ball, spreading directionless in all directions. When it hit the cliffs, it left a huge scar.

Du You’s face changed and he pulled Shaliya, laying her down at the edge of the city wall. Up front, Lin Yushi also lay down to avoid the attack.

Fortunately, all these attacks were indiscriminate, they didn’t truly target anyone. Otherwise, it would’ve been very dangerous. A wave of Dou Qi slashed through the air, barely three meters away from Du You, and a section of the city wall disappeared.

Du You wiped off his cold sweat and carefully watched the frontlines. Due to this explosion, the beetles around the Quicksand Soldier were cleared out in an instant. But before the Quicksand Soldier could take two steps forward, a large number of beetles flew towards him again.

This time, the other sandpeople around him weren’t harassed by the beetles anymore. The few remaining sandpeople ran towards the city wall, regardless of the condition of their leader.

Du You waved his hand and cast the Disintegration Spell, shattering the sandballs in the sky and disdainfully said to the onrushing ragtag soldiers, "You think you can take our territory with this pathetic force? What a joke."

By the time these people got close to the city wall, Du You swung his hand and a wall of dark arrows shot out. These sandpeople, already seriously injured, were powerless against the dark arrows and were easily vanquished by Du You.

Right now, Du You was primarily dealing with the sandballs; dealing with these sandpeople was merely a side activity.

On the other hand, Lin Yushi had an easier time. She wasn’t on the city wall, so she didn’t have to worry about the sandballs. A shower of thunder and lightning came down like a downpour, and the remaining ragtag troops were quickly depleted.

Before Lin Yushi’s magic power was exhausted, she cleared away the remaining sandpeople.

"Master, how are things on your end?" Finally, Lin Yucha, having killed the last three sand sculptures, ran over to Du You.

Du You hastily responded, "Be careful. The sandballs in the sky are no mere concern. The real danger is that guy over there. Go and help Yu Shi quickly." Du You said without turning back.

Lin Yucha nodded her head and ran off in the other direction. A sandball fell from the sky and she raised her hand to unleash a Demon Extermination Arrow. The poisoned sniping arrow shattered the sandball in mid-air and easily passed through the wreckage of the city wall unharmed.

Lin Yucha joined up with Lin Yushi, continuing to watch the distance without daring to approach casually.

After what felt like forever, Du You’s eyes lit up because he felt his beetles make contact with a solid enemy.

After a long battle of attrition, the tens of thousands of corpses brought by the Carrion Dark Scarabs finally caused a qualitative change due to their large quantity. The Dou Qi of the rank-three Quicksand Soldier was almost exhausted, and cracks began to appear.

A beetle burrowed into the body of the Quicksand Soldier, piercing its skin. Following the first beetle, more and more beetles began to spread inside. This was a sign of victory.

He hadn’t expected that he could actually kill a three-tiered entity. It was absolutely a joyous event.

Suddenly, the Quicksand Soldier’s whole body’s Dou Qi shook, and a large amount of beetles on the inside and outside of his body died. Follow current novels on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

But after this explosion, the Quicksand Soldier’s remaining Dou Qi was almost exhausted, and he didn’t have Du You’s terrifying recovery abilities. Seizing this opportunity, the long-ambushed Death Scorpion finally made its move.

A black light instantly pierced through the Quicksand Soldier’s remaining defensive barrier, landing directly on the Quicksand Soldier. The black stinger had already pierced into the body of the Quicksand Soldier, its terrifying venom spreading out.

Death Raid, the most powerful move of the Death Scorpion, which spelled mutual destruction.

This toxicity seemed unstoppable to the Quicksand Soldier. He could only watch helplessly as the venom spread. From a distance, Du You even saw that the venom of the Death Scorpion could not be resisted by the Quicksand Soldier. Instead, it seemed to have a restraining ability on the Quicksand Soldier. On the body of the Quicksand Soldier, its threat seemed even greater than on other creatures.

He didn’t know whether this was because of the special nature of the venom or the inherent characteristics of the sandpeople.

In short, the Quicksand soldier couldn’t tell him anymore. Because soon after, all that was left of the Quicksand Soldier was a skeleton.

That dark, pitch-black skeleton, whoever dared to touch it would surely meet their end. At this point, all four summoned creatures were eliminated. But this battle, he held out to the end.

"Let’s go, we’ll take out the Sand Dune Monster next." Du You pulled Shaliya and ran forward. There was nothing he could do - leaving Shaliya here would be too dangerous. Du You didn’t dare to be sure whether the sandball in the sky would take Shaliya away.

Faster than Du You were Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, who were already near the rear.
