Chapter 678: Chapter 678

Though the situation was messy, it was also stable. All Du You needed to do was to constantly cast Destruction Flames, and bombard his foes from a distance, he didn’t need to concern himself with anything else.

However, as time passed, the number of Carrion Dark Scarabs in his surroundings increased so drastically that Du You couldn’t continue using Destruction Flames. If he forced it, his magic would kill a large number of his own beetles.

What a waste of recovered magic power and physical strength.

Dark flames surged from Du You’s body, making him appear like a demon king. Du You was frustrated because these flames were visual manifestations of his excessive magic power that had leaked out of him.

Probably only he alone could achieve a level of magic power surplus that it needed to be wasted. Thankfully, it didn’t affect him, otherwise, he would have removed his Slaughter Badge.

Meanwhile, the two sisters were busy swapping their equipment while continually releasing orbs of power.

Most of the equipment from the ants was related to warriors. Although the sisters were not warriors, they were archers, another type of combatants. Both of them wore some items of red quality.

Even though the drop rate of weapons and armor is low, the sheer number of ants was overwhelming. Countless tier-three ants had fallen; if not for the Carrion Dark Scarabs eating the ant corpses, the ants would have piled several meters high.

Despite their individual strength and collective force, the ants were not suited to fight these beetles. They primarily relied on their hard shells for defense and had no energy shield. Consequently, fields of ants died, providing a rich bounty.

Black Ant Amulet: Increases self’s strength. (Green quality)

Despite its simple effect, it was quite useful. Lin Yucha swapped her Little Demon Amulet for it, and Lin Yushi exchanged her Deflection Amulet for one too. They both got some strength boost.

Vajra Battle Boots: Defense 28+28, light as a feather.

Both sisters unanimously replaced their boots. Not just them, they prepared a pair for Du You as well. Regardless of how rare equipment may drop, when a large number of the same species was killed, it became much easier to collect.

Once they finally got new equipment, they almost completely removed their previous white-quality items. Even the Guardian Amulet was taken off, as it had limited use for them.

Ordinary attacks could be withstood by their own defense. If their defense couldn’t hold up, the Guardian Amulet couldn’t deflect the attack either. After all, it was a deep-red item. Having fewer items on did not mean a drop in power.

"Sister, this is for you." Lin Yushi handed a bracelet to Lin Yucha.

Ant Acid Bracelet: Comes with the skill Ant Acid Eruption. After activating the skill, every attack within one minute will carry a powerful ant acid effect. (Deep green quality)

The simple addition of a skill raised it to deep green quality, highlighting the potency of the skill.

Lin Yucha said, "You should have it. Each attack will be imbued with ant acid, this will be more beneficial for you."

After some persuasion, Lin Yushi put on the bracelet but passed her Vajra Bracelet to her sister. Even though it was only deep red quality, it could still enhance some attributes and range defense capability.

"Here are two green amulets. We can each take one." Lin Yucha held two amulets.

Protection Amulet: Forms an earth attribute defense around the body with no blind spots, defensive power 25. (Green quality)

Ant Power Locket Amulet: Greatly increases stamina and stamina recovery. (Green quality)

Lin Yushi took the Ant Power Locket Amulet and replaced her Demon Guardian Amulet. As for total protection, she still had the Flowing Wave Armguard. The effect was primarily for deflecting mosquitoes, so she no longer needed the Demon Guardian Amulet. Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

Lin Yucha, however, replaced her Shattering Amulet with the Protection Amulet. After a thought, she also took off the somewhat redundant Quicksand Gourd. The gourd was powerful, but she rarely found a need for it. Her own attacks far exceeded the range of the gourd, making it somewhat superfluous to her. She decided to sell it.

The Quicksand Gourd was the top-tier red equipment. Selling it for a green crystal coin price wasn’t unthinkable. The replaced items could considerably replenish their finances.

When Du You turned his attention back to them, he found that the sisters had almost completely changed their equipment. The only red item remaining was the Auto-Recovery Quiver they had been carrying all along.

Now, Lin Yushi only had a red Hawk Eye Necklace to enhance her vision. Lin Yucha had two red items: her Flying Snake Ring and the Vajra Bracelet that Lin Yushi had given her. Apart from these, all of their equipment had turned green or deep green - they no longer had light green items.

It was undeniable that the sisters were now outfitted luxuriously. While they might not be on par with the seed members from powerful backgrounds, they could be considered well-equipped among tier-three students in Capital University.

In contrast, Du You’s own equipment seemed less luxurious.

"Master, we still have some items set aside for you, but they’re all warrior gear and might not be very useful for you." Hearing this, Du You could only let out a wry smile.

"That’s okay. Once we leave the Great Black Mountain, we can go to other places. Somehow, we should be able to get all these items together." He did not say this casually. The prerequisite for acquiring a high quantity of items was the massive killing of monsters.

Even if the quality of the equipment might be inferior due to being mass-produced, some should still be decent, right?

Taking a break, Du You removed his obsolete white Exploration Compass. The Guardian Amulet was likewise not useful to him, so he took it off too. Once these items were removed, he felt more comfortable.

Excluding a Little Bright Amulet with healing abilities and an Eye of the Griffin Bracelet that increased his perception, both of which were red, everything else had turned green.

"Wait, I have a Unicorn. Do I still need the Little Bright Amulet?" After some consideration, Du You decided to take off the Little Bright Amulet as well. Now, his green equipment looked much better.

As long as his caps weren’t green, the color of everything else wouldn’t matter.

Though he had considerably fewer items now, he didn’t feel any loss in power. Du You began to understand that equipment not of his level didn’t provide a good boost to his abilities.
