Chapter 657: Chapter 657

Du You looked at the dark swamp below, turning the entire sea surface and land surface into a viscous slime of potent corrosion. The Murlocs who didn’t have time to escape met a gruesome death.

Only those Murlocs hiding deep underwater managed to escape. Even so, some Murlocs inexplicably sought to investigate the surface, only to be corroded into a rotten mess the moment they entered the swamp.

"There don’t seem to be any powerful beings here. It looks like it’s just a ship construction site."

"Master, have you found their exit?"

Du You nodded and said: "I’ve found it, there are two in total, but very few come out."

Du You pointed in two directions. Lin Yushi spread her wings and took off towards the closest one immediately. Du You shook his head, only instructing Xiaozi and the Black Jade Griffin to continue their surveillance.

"It’s strange, there aren’t many people coming out. Could it be that they’ve all gone to the other side?" Du You suddenly noticed some humans appearing at the center of the opposite Murloc tribe, unsure when they’d emerged. Moreover, the Murlocs didn’t show any intention of attacking these humans. Instead, the surrounding Murlocs started to stir.

"It seems to be the case. I wonder what they’re planning. Are they under the illusion that they can hold me back with these Murlocs?" Du You had little regard for these Murlocs. It didn’t matter that there weren’t any tier-three ones, as even if there were, they wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

Suddenly, Lin Yushi flew back and handed Du You a box. "Here, those people had no fighting power to speak of. They seemed like ordinary people, with only a few reaching tier one. But they were protecting this thing pretty well."

Upon receiving the box and crushing the lock with a pinch, Du You looked at the papers inside. After his interface translated the text, he skimmed through them casually.

"Although these aren’t useful to us, they should be significant to the Divine Flame Empire. Could be considered a significant accomplishment."

Du You stored the papers away indifferently. Professionals rarely paid much attention to things that weren’t useful to them.

This was information about underwater ship construction and some research on Murlocs. It seemed like a method for controlling Murlocs and enhancing them. There were some other things that Du You didn’t understand.

He wasn’t sure how comprehensive this information was. It involved too much specialized knowledge. Du You could only tell what it was for thanks to his interface. He wasn’t a scholar.

He might as well clean up these people next. Destroying these specialized scholars would also be a blow to the Kingdom of Hanhai. Why not do it if it could weaken the enemy?

Lin Yucha drove the Floating Cloud towards the opposite side. Just as Du You was preparing to attack, suddenly a high-rated Murloc ran out and threw a bottle from his hand. As the bottle hit the ground, it turned into a gray mist.

The areas shrouded by the gray mist saw the Murlocs’ eyes turn red and their bodies bulk up. Many Murlocs let out pained howls, and turned other unaffected Murlocs around them into shreds, even eating them. In the end, these Murlocs turned their gaze towards Du You and the others on the Floating Cloud and started running towards them like mad.

Spotted Murloc: Level 13 (Potential Partially Activated)

Du You looked at the changing Murlocs. He hadn’t expected they had used potions to enhance their levels. No matter what these Murlocs would turn into next, they were tier two now.

"I wonder if it’s beneficial to kill these Murlocs now?" Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥

Ever since Du You reached tier three, killing tier-one creatures brought him no benefits, meaning he couldn’t obtain any crystal coins from them. This was a restriction. But there was still a slight chance to obtain red crystal coins from killing tier-two creatures.

Du You waved his hand, casting a massive array of Dark Flame Arrows. Lin Yushi also released her Explosive Scattering. Lin Yucha aimed at several dense areas with her Whirlpool Arrow.

Very quickly, a large group of Murlocs were wiped out. Du You looked at his spatial storage, a smile tugging at his lips.

"Just as I thought, being tier-two is different, even if it’s temporary. The world’s rules still recognize them." Hunting them had given him many red orbs—comparable to their level’s probability.

Seeing that Du You easily slaughtered their subordinates, the high-rated Murlocs hurriedly continued throwing bottles around. Du You was happy to wait for them to activate their potentials.

"Take your time, we’re not in a hurry. The stronger you are, the more significant our gains will be. Moreover, the difficulty of this task will also increase." Du You glanced at the Murlocs while instructing Lin Yucha to lower the Floating Cloud platform.

Making themselves always unreachable from the air would also dampen their enthusiasm, wouldn’t it? Seeing them descend, the Murlocs in the back became even happier, revealing a cruel expression. In their minds, perhaps they thought that Du You and the others were running out of power, which was why they could no longer fly.

The humans in the back frowned. They could see that Du You and the others were having a comfortable time.

"We must use the imperfect potions now, otherwise we won’t be a match for them. But it’s okay, this will also enable us to collect some experimental data. There shouldn’t be anyone who can object now, right?"

The man at the forefront gestured to the surrounding people, who then started to take out potions from a box one by one. Du You also noticed their movements, but he didn’t pay any mind and just kept slaughtering the tier-two Murlocs.

After reaching tier three, Du You could reduce the power of his magic spells deliberately to minimize his energy consumption. Combined with the Slaughter Badge, Du You’s Magic Power remained at its maximum, and both sisters’ magic hadn’t consumed much either.

Suddenly, a tier-two Murloc in the back took a bottle in his hand and drank the contents on the spot. Instantly, this Murloc grew even larger, with his spots becoming more prominent.

Spotted Murloc: Level 24 (Incomplete Evolution)

"Has it reached tier three? No wonder they could unify the coastline so easily—the duchies probably still don’t possess the power to create a tier-three army." Du You silently thought as he watched the Murlocs change.

But this was even better. Slaughtering tier-three Murlocs would surely bring him greater benefits. He still lacked crystal coins at present, so let there be more of these tier-three Murlocs.

While thinking, Du You activated his Resentful Souls Domain. The tier-two Murlocs in view suddenly started dying in multitudes.
