Chapter 683: Chapter 683

The beetles kept multiplying, constantly battling with the centipedes. Du You acted like a turret, directing his attacks wherever the centipedes were numerous or troublesome, unleashing various spells in a frenzy.

When the beetles had cleared a large area below, Du You released his Summoned Beast.

"Why are you still so cowardly, lingering here? Go down and fight," Du You irritably scolded the Unicorn, which refused to leave the Floating Cloud.

But the Unicorn was quite obstinate, and wasn’t willing to go down, determined to stay on the Floating Cloud.

"Master, let it stay here. Having a Unicorn as an aid would be helpful," Lin Yucha suggested. Hearing this, the Unicorn sidled up to Lin Yucha affectionately, rubbing against her gently.

"Huh, since when did this little rascal learn to do this?" Du You remembered that the Unicorn used to dislike the two sisters, mainly because of their magic power attributes.

But now, the Unicorn was friendly and had no shame.

He decided to let it stay on the clot, after all, the main force in the battle was not the Unicorn. The Unicorn had quite impressive fighting power, but it hated fighting and was scared of dying.

For sure, other Summoned Beasts can be revived when they die, but if the Unicorn were to die, it would really be dead for good.

For the Unicorn’s safety, Du You wouldn’t risk forcing it to go into danger. But with the Unicorn up there, the Floating Cloud became a little overcrowded. Feeling the crowding, Lin Yucha immediately ordered the cloud to expand a circle.

After doing all these, the two resumed opening the sphere. If they didn’t act quickly, the sphere would become a huge pile. There were more powerful creatures in this group of centipedes than those of ants.

The equipment drop rate was also higher, but unfortunately, the abilities of the centipedes were quite balanced. Thus, most of the equipment wasn’t outstanding in any particular aspect, giving the two sisters no incentive to replace their current equipment.

Finally, when the entire centipede forest turned into chaos, the powerful existing beings inside the forest couldn’t sit still anymore.

At this point, one-third of the forest had turned black, with the rest being red. The black beetles were manifesting a great power that could exterminate the centipede forest.

Soon, a powerful aura rushed towards them. "Here they come, looks like the elite group of centipedes has arrived," Du You just finished saying when a large number of high-level centipedes appeared. These centipedes were all blood-red and looked the same, only bigger in size. However, the tag on their heads told Du You that they were all high-end creatures.

Among these centipedes, the weakest was 28-tier and there were countless 30-tier ones. Unlike the ant side where there was only one 30-tier Ant Queen, there were over twenty 30-tier Centipede Kings that Du You spotted here.

If it were normal circumstances, dealing with so many centipedes wouldn’t be an easy task. With Du You’s magic power, killing them won’t be easy either, but it’s different now. Du You could feel the enormous dark element surrounding him and knew that he had the upper hand here, as this had become his home turf.

Although many beetles had been killed by the centipedes, every time a beetle died, it released dark elements. The elements here were incredibly dense, granting a huge boost to the power of any dark attribute magic Du You used.

This boost wasn’t an increase of a few percentage points, but several times. Coupled with his own Dark Spirits, the effect was terrifying. The power of each Dark Magic could effortlessly reach the peak of the third tier, even exceeding it.

Du You released a large number of Dark Spirits to boost his magic power, then released a Dark Fire Serpent towards the front.

The serpent now looked more like a Fire Dragon. It grew quickly soon after appearing, becoming as thick as a water tank, even thicker than those centipedes.

Before the centipedes could react to attack, Du You had already sneered and detonated the serpent. The enormous explosion was as powerful as a fireball he dropped from the sky himself.

Even the 30-tier centipedes were killed if they were close to the explosion, or injured if they were far from it.

The sisters’ skill powers didn’t get any boost in this environment, but they were able to hold them off. In merely tens of seconds, Du You managed to call down a Destruction Flames in the sky.

When the fireballs fell, tremors shook the ground, and more than half of the centipedes were annihilated instantly. Even though there were more high-level centipedes to come, now they had to face this Strengthened Destruction Evil Dog.

The Destruction Evil Dog that appeared after the Destruction Flames not only increased in number but also in strength. It could hold a 30-tier centipede at bay by itself for a considerable amount of time. Two could even kill one quickly.

Du You kept pelting spells from the back, and soon, those high-level centipedes could not withstand it anymore.

"Excellent, keep spreading from the edges. Encircle it first, that would be the best," commanded Du You, which caused the surrounding Carrion Dark Scarabs to accelerate their spreading from the edges.

Looking from the sky, you could see that the black creatures began to slowly surround the red forest.

After an hour or so, the encirclement was officially formed. At the command of Du You, the encirclement started to shrink from the outside towards the middle. Beetles were everywhere, and the centipedes had no place to escape.

Unfortunately, these centipedes lacked a unified command, so they were still resisting, oblivious to their current situation. This battle lasted for two days, which was enough to show the numerous numbers of centipedes here.

After two days, the number of centipedes began to decrease, and they finally realized that something was wrong. The centipedes started to run away in large numbers, including the elite ones, but by then it was too late. Updates are released by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

Centipedes within the encirclement were basically killed one by one, with none able to escape.

Those centipedes on the outskirts had fled a while ago. The downside of not having an Ant Queen-type being was apparent - without unified command, it’s hard to wipe them all out. But that wouldn’t be an easy task.

Many years later, this place might turn into a centipede forest again. But that would be many years from now, after being hunted down by Du You, this place would at least take decades to recover.

What he hunted were not only the centipedes, but also other animals on which the centipedes relied for survival. Without these food sources, the centipedes could return here, but it wouldn’t be easy for them to grow again.
