Chapter 573: Chapter 573

Before Du You could act, Lin Yushi loudly exclaimed, "Leave it to me, let me give it a try." With that said, Lin Yushi let loose an Explosive Scattering. However, she hadn’t expected the monster bird’s feathers to block most of the Arrow Shadows.

Moreover, each of the feathers shot down towards the ground, almost as if many arrows were being released all at once.

Du You waved his hand and deployed Dark Absorption in front of him, protecting both Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi beneath it. The feathers disappeared upon making contact with his Dark Shield. Du You realized he didn’t consume much Magic Power which meant that the demon’s attack wasn’t that strong. The demon appeared extremely furious and continued its attack.

Lin Yushi slipped out from beneath the Dark Shield and launched a Thunder.

Then came a Thunderstorm Arrow. A feather blocked the arrow, but the next moment, the thunder and lightning exploded. Circles of electric surge radially impacted the nearby strange bird. Its feathers exploded from its body, making it look utterly miserable.

Lin Yushi activated Rapid Run, her whole body seeming to become a shadow, continuously darting through various attacks. When she couldn’t dodge in time, she hid under Du You’s Dark Shield. Du You had become a protective umbrella for her.

Combined with Thunderstorm Arrow, either a series of thunder and lightning or a single lightning bolt were unleashed, leaving the strange bird in mid-air defenseless. Despite its seemingly comprehensive defense, it just couldn’t withstand such close-range explosions or continuous attacks.

After a few rounds of attacks, Lin Yushi finally seized the opportunity. She released a barrage of arrows, showering nineteen electric arrows that tore through the wings of the strange bird. A Bloodthirsty Demon Vine appeared out of thin air before it could drop, ensnaring the bird which now had no means of escape.

The fallen strange bird was promptly slain by Lin Yushi’s arrows.

Walking forward, Lin Yushi absorbed the demon’s power with a look of immense satisfaction on her face. "Master, that strange bird’s defensive ability was quite commendable. If I could merge it with the Body-Rotating Arrow Cluster skill, it could become a good defensive skill," she remarked.

Du You nodded: "Proceed with the structuring then," he commanded, without any hesitation. A new skill was quickly crafted.

Drifting Feather: Magic Power rotates around the body in the form of feathers, significantly weakening external attacks. Effective at deflecting directed individual skills. (Level 19, 8 stars)

Lin Yushi waved her hand and a plethora of feathers appeared around her. They were no longer black, but white with gold edging, bringing an extremely splendid visual effect. It was an excellent defense against multiple attacks.

This technique could also confuse the enemy’s sight, providing a strong disturbance against directed skills.

Now, Lin Yushi had acquired a powerful defensive skill, although it wasn’t quite comprehensive.

"If you face a powerful attack concentrated at one point or an explosive attack, I’m afraid that your defense won’t be enough."

"It’s alright, I’ll figure out another defensive skill whenever I get the chance," replied Lin Yushi, not worried at all. With her master by her side, the chances of her getting hurt were almost nonexistent.

Soon after they left the Demon Great Rift, a mission was completed. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

Hidden mission: Clean up Demon Great Rift, completed, 9% contribution.

This mission was also part of those people’s plan. The fact that their team, with only three people, could make such a high contribution was indeed not easy.

Du You submitted the mission, and behind him was another box. In addition to a large amount of exclusive Crystal Coins, there was a piece of treasure, an Illusion Feather Cloak.

Illusion Feather Cloak: Defense 27, Magic resistance 28, can transform into wings enabling the wearer to fly slowly. Enables the wearer to descend steadily when jumping from a high altitude. (Deep Green)

He hadn’t expected it to be a deep green item, indeed a good thing. However, he couldn’t use it yet. The defense and magic resistance this cloak provided could be compared to that of heavy armor of the same level, not something a regular cloak could offer.

The most crucial aspect was that the cloak provided the ability to fly, thus preventing him from falling to his death in some extreme situations. Having this would at least make him feel more secure. For instance, he wouldn’t have to worry about his flying pet being shot down while he was flying, causing him to fall and die.

Regrettably, he had no use for it now, so Du You could only store it for now and continue on. As they entered the Great Plain, their task of monster cleaning in the Demon Slaughterhouse was about to start.

This task was also a hidden one, but even if it didn’t show up on the panel, Du You knew that it was doable, and the more and higher level demons he killed, the more he could help with completing the task. He could also improve the progress of his demon slaughtering mission, which would give him more benefits.

Du You led the two, hunting monsters all the way. For the next month or two, they would have to live . Fortunately, they had experienced this lifestyle before and didn’t find it unbearable.

One day, a hidden demon ambushed Du You’s team. Fortunately, Lin Yucha detected the footprints on the ground with her perception ability in advance and simultaneously launched a Spiral Snipe, forcing a demon out from its invisibility at close range.

After absorbing this demon’s power, a new skill was constructed.

Demon Concealment Skill: Shrouded by magic, the user enters an invisible state where the speed is reduced by 20%, the user becomes visible when attacking or being attacked. While invisible, the wave of attack is reduced. (Level 19, 8 stars)

"With the Demon Concealment Skill, Yucha, you will undoubtedly become the most feared presence in the dark."

Du You smiled, tipped Lin Yucha’s chin, and planted a soft kiss on her. Lin Yucha’s cheeks reddened slightly, but the joy on her face revealed her feelings. Heavy attacks combined with a low presence were the perfect assets for an assassin.

The form and style of Lin Yucha’s combat had essentially taken shape.

Seeing this, Lin Yushi became slightly jealous and put more effort into the battles in the next few days. Then, after slaying a mutated Stone Demon, Lin Yushi happily came to Du You to create a new skill.

Shock Arrow: The launched arrow carries a strong shock effect, capable of effectively smashing the enemy’s attack and destroying the stable structure of a spell. It needs Magic Arrow-type skills as its pre-set skills, and cannot be activated using physical arrows. (Level 19, 8 stars)

This was yet another special type of arrow skills, quite similar to the Barrier arrow that they had encountered. It was mainly used for defense. Combined with Drifting Feathers, Lin Yushi’s defense ability was possibly even greater than Lin Yucha’s.
