Chapter 726: Chapter 726

"Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?" Du You rose early in the morning to find everyone else already waiting outdoors, leaving him as the last one to come out.

"Good morning to you too, we’ll be reliant on your help today," Li Mengyao greeted Du You.

Du You found something odd about Li Mengyao that morning. Looking perplexed towards Lin Yucha, who shook her head indicating she, too, was clueless about what had happened.

The relationship between the two sisters and Li Mengyao hadn’t progressed much since yesterday’s event.

Having finished breakfast, Huorong Qing removed the defensive array formation, and the group resumed their journey. There were no trails here, and they had lost track of their location long ago following a rough idea of their direction.

Those who wanted to trail behind Du You wouldn’t stand a chance; all traces of their journey had already been obliterated by the demons.

Just like yesterday, Du You cleared their path using Destruction Flames and Dark Flame Arrow Array. The journey was going smoothly, but what puzzled Du You was that Li Mengyao seemed to have reverted to normal.

No, she had returned to the state others usually described her in. Gone was the persistence that usually annoyed people. This version of Li Mengyao was indeed goddess-like. But she wasn’t as aloof as people usually described. On the contrary, Li Mengyao gave Du You a very approachable impression, a gentle and mild aura.

But Du You didn’t believe that he could have caught Li Mengyao’s attention. He didn’t have enough self-confidence to believe that a few encounters, with barely any communication, could make such an exceptional young lady fall for him.

He suspected that because his performance was too outstanding, Li Mengyao probably wanted him on her side, or else she had some other intentions. Because of this suspicion, Du You always had his guard up around Li Mengyao.

Regardless of Du You’s vigilance, the group’s atmosphere gradually improved as Li Mengyao and Huorong Qing took the initiative to befriend everyone in the group. Of course, they got closer to the two sisters rather than Du You.

Du You was somewhat helpless as he overheard their chatter. The two young ladies inadvertently divulged quite a lot of information. They certainly didn’t know how to keep secrets. Fortunately, no critical information was leaked.

The two sisters were not fools and Li Mengyao wouldn’t dare probe them as she didn’t want to offend Du You.

At first, Du You had contemplated splitting from them, as they had significantly reduced his earnings. But later, Du You stopped suggesting it due to the dangers surrounding them.

Du You himself had to be cautious. If he had let Li Mengyao and Huorong Qing venture alone in such a place, they would never have survived. When they ran out of magic and resources, they would inevitably drown in the unending wave of demons. The density of demons here was simply overwhelming.

Moreover, Du You saw things in a new light. Although the pair had significantly reduced his earnings here, mainly in the form of fewer Crystal Coins, he wasn’t primarily here for Crystal Coins anyway as he already had enough.

Having the pair with him also provided him with company. As for indulging in the pleasures of the night, he neither had the capacity nor the mood to think about it amidst these demon-infested territories.

"Why haven’t we found it yet?" Du You surveyed his surroundings but found no suitable demons for the sisters.

"What is Du You looking for? He’s been searching for something these past few days; can you tell me what it is?" Li Mengyao asked Lin Yushi.

Lin Yushi didn’t hide anything and directly replied, "We’re looking for special demons. Our occupations are unique; we need the help of demons to evolve powerful skills. Without them, we can only learn ordinary skills."

Lin Yushi didn’t disclose everything, choosing instead to keep some information hidden. As for their exact occupations, Lin Yushi would certainly not reveal that, and Li Mengyao wouldn’t dare to probe either.

"I see, so what kind of demon do you need?"

"When we find a suitable one, we’ll test it ourselves. When that happens, please do not interfere. We must personally kill these kinds of demons." Though the number of occupations needing a specific kind of demon was sparse, it wasn’t unheard of.

Li Mengyao who had seen many odd requirements in various occupations back at school didn’t find it strange. Ironically, what truly intrigued her was the power Du You possessed, which slipped within the domain of horrifying.

His terrifying display of Magic Power over the past few days left people in awe. His unfathomable and seemingly never-ending reserve of Magic Power was like a perpetual magic machine. His combat strength on the battlefield was simply extraordinary.

No wonder, Du You was always reluctant to team up with others. It turned out he was just incredibly powerful himself. The source of this content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Lin Mengyao had discussed with Huorong Qing in private, guessing that he must possess equipment or skills that allowed him to recover his Magic Power; it’s even possible it was a combination of both. The pair decided they would find ways to acquire similar skills when they returned. Without experiencing such a battlefield, many might never realize they urgently needed more Magic Power.

Especially for an heiress like Li Mengyao, who never lacked high-grade potions. However, in a battlefield , potions couldn’t replenish her supply, and she found herself frequently running low on Magic Power.

Her originally reckless fighting style gradually became more cautious. Each Wind Blade cast attempted to maximize potential. With Du You shielding her at the front, all Li Mengyao needed to do was to keep sending out attacks.

Through this opportunity, Li Mengyao’s control over her Magic Power was rapidly improving, and her attack accuracy and endurance in combat were also getting a significant boost. This battle was indeed greatly beneficial to Li Mengyao.

However, Du You’s performance made Li Mengyao feel somewhat embarrassed. She initially thought that her joining would be a great help to Du You and would help them grow closer. But now it seemed she was merely a burden. She hoped she hadn’t irritated Du You.

Through their interactions over this period, Li Mengyao considered Du You a friend in her heart.

Suddenly, Du You stopped and set up Destruction Evil Dogs around. "The density of demons is getting higher. There’s a good chance that we’ll find a Demon Gate in such an environment. But we need to summon the Unicorn now. I’m going to call out the Bubble."

"Are you going to summon the Bubble? Great!" The two sisters’ eyes lit up, almost springing up with joy. They weren’t used to operating without their aids. Li Mengyao was also full of anticipation. She wondered how much stronger a mythical creature like the Unicorn could be compared to her Griffin.
