Chapter 811: Chapter 811

After reaching the fourth tier, Du You found that the drop rates were significantly higher than before, and each sphere contained more Crystal Coins, which were no longer as scarce as they used to be.

"With both gains and losses accounted for, the profits from hunting not only haven’t decreased, they’ve actually increased if you kill quickly. Although there are fewer monsters above the fourth tier, the drop rate of Crystal Coins has definitely increased significantly,"

After hunting for a while, Du You came to this conclusion. Now, hunting these fourth tier Mo Dans, he could almost get a sphere for every two killed. Moreover, virtually every sphere yielded over a hundred Crystal Coins.

If such returns were available at lower levels, probably everyone would have acquired a large number of high-end skills. Unfortunately, after the fourth tier, advancing skills to the fourth tier was too difficult. Hence, those who reached the fourth tier seldom constructed new skills—it was a waste of time.

Of course, after the fourth tier, the monsters’ strength also becomes much tougher, no longer as easy to handle as before.

Even some weaker Professionals, facing native monsters of the same level, might not necessarily win. Therefore, after reaching the fourth tier, others had to rely on quests to make gains.

Compared to Du You, who could still hunt a large number of monsters of the same level on his own, that was a far cry.

"It’s just a pity that the equipment drop rate hasn’t changed much, and it even seems to be less," Lin Yucha also spoke.

Although it was unclear if it was the case everywhere, the equipment drop rate was indeed not high. After killing more than a dozen Mo Dans, aside from some fourth tier materials, not a single piece of equipment appeared.

"There’s no helping it, after all, the higher the level, the scarcer the equipment. I heard that most equipment after the fourth tier is crafted with these materials, and not many actually drop,"

Shaking his head, Du You sorted out the items in his hands. "But it’s not completely without gains, at least the special products from these creatures are still pretty good." Du You gave two Mo Dan Essences to the sisters.

The two nodded, consumed them, and gained a bit of strength.

"Also this, this thing should attract quite a number of the nearby Mo Dan bugs," Du You said, holding an oval object, having obtained two after killing more than a dozen Mo Dans.

Insect Attracting Fragrance: Upon ignition, it emits a special odor that attracts nearby Mo Dans.

Other people definitely wouldn’t dare to use this item. Mo Dans attacked from a distance—once focused by group attacks, the danger was considerable. But Du You wasn’t worried. After fighting for so long, he had basically found a way to deal with Mo Dans.

Speaking of which, the Mo Dan was incredibly hard before it died, and Du You’s normal attacks had no way to break through. However, after death, the Mo Dan gradually became softer.

The body of a dead Mo Dan bug began to rapidly shrink a minute later. Its shriveled skin retracted back into the Mo Dan’s shell, making it look almost like an artwork, which was the complete Mo Dan corpse.

Although Du You originally wanted to taste the Mo Dan, seeing this scene made him feel disgusted.

Having stored it neatly, Du You then lit the Insect Attracting Fragrance. "It seems to have no smell," Du You and the others didn’t notice any strange odor.

"Probably only the Mo Dans can smell this type of scent," Lin Yucha said.

Soon, Du You started commanding, "Send a Demon Extermination Spirit over there; this thing doesn’t move fast underground, let’s solve them one by one."

Lin Yushi immediately dispatched a Demon Extermination Spirit to the location Du You directed. Suddenly, a giant bug burst from underground and swallowed the unfortunate Demon Extermination Spirit. The next moment, a Spiral Snipe penetrated the giant bug’s head.

This thing’s ability to hide its presence was strong, and Du You couldn’t feel it, but he had previously laid Death Scorpions beneath the surface. The Death Scorpions sandified the surrounding underground area, which didn’t affect the Mo Dans. But when they came near, the vibration was sensed by the Death Scorpions, then relayed back to Du You.

Utilizing this method, Du You could detect problems in advance. Next, Du You commanded while Lin Yushi sent out Demon Extermination Spirits, one by one drawing the Mo Dans out and killing them.

"Good thing these Mo Dans don’t have attacking abilities underground; otherwise, the Death Scorpions really wouldn’t stand a chance against them."

The third-tier Death Scorpions were far from being able to compete with fourth-tier creatures; now, they could only be used for sensing.

In this environment, the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, which had reached over ten yards in height, weren’t of much use. Rather, their large size meant that the Mo Dans were too weary to appear, and Du You eventually had to call them back.

Xiaozi could freely fly back and forth in the air, but it was nearly ineffective since Xiaozi couldn’t see underground.

It still depended on attracting with the Demon Extermination Spirits and then attacking. If not for the big bugs’ single tactic and their low body defense, dealing with them wouldn’t have been easy.

After clearing a region, Du You moved on to other areas to continue the cleanup.

"Hey, there’s equipment, and it’s a special product. Indeed, the special products from these creatures are good; it’s just unfortunate we don’t know how many of these creatures there are or how many can appear,"

Mo Dan Amulet: An amulet crafted from the shell of the Magical Beast Mo Dan. (Light yellow)

Effect: Forms an invisible shield with 32 defense around the body and has a concealing effect on personal aura.

"Master, you should wear it first. We each have two amulets; let’s swap them when we find new ones,"

Thinking it over, Du You said, "Alright, the plains are so vast, who knows how many Mo Dans there are—I’ll eventually equip you both." Each person could only carry two amulets, and since Du You had only one, it was a perfect fit.

Finding the equipment lifted everyone’s spirits, so the group continued their hunt. Every time they changed locations, they would light the Insect Attracting Fragrance, then wait for their prey to come, fishing them out one by one like fishing.

As they continued hunting, Du You gradually accumulated more Mo Dan Essences, which were indeed a specialty. Unfortunately, these couldn’t be bred, and their numbers weren’t infinite; otherwise, it would really be possible to develop them as an industry.

Regarding the Insect Attracting Fragrance, it was only effective on these creatures and no use on other bugs. After leaving this place, the Insect Attracting Fragrance could only be stored in the warehouse. As the group continuously wandered the plains, the number of Demon Extermination Spirits also increased, making it easier to attract Mo Dans.
