Chapter 82: Chapter 82

"You, you’re dishonorable, I..." Upon hearing Du You’s final words, the sleazy man wore a look of horror.

Unfortunately for him, Du You didn’t have the time to waste on further conversations. A crystal-clear white light burst forth, landing on the sleazy man’s head in an instant, causing it to shatter instantly.

As if he would keep his word with these robbers, Du You thought contemptuously. He wasn’t an idiot.

Until he gained considerable strength, there was no way he would reveal his special attributes. Letting people know he held two professions? God, it would be too terrifying. Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽

"Alright, stop this. They’re all shattered now." Du You told Xiaozi.

Xiaozi had just thrown the dead black-clothed man aside. The man had been turned into charred black ashes by Xiaozi’s electricity, but Xiaozi wasn’t satisfied—she toyed with the corpse until it disintegrated into many pieces.

To anyone who saw such a scene, it would be hard to recognize that it was once a human body rather than a pile of charcoal.

Xiaozi made a sound like a coo, running toward Du You, rubbing her head against his chest with a grieving look, and raising her wings to show the tiny scratches.

Du You laughed without amusement, "Enough, it’s just a small wound, not a big deal."

After Xiaozi’s evolution as a Purple Lightning Golden Eagle, her intelligence had vastly improved. Du You knew that Xiaozi was showing affection toward him.

It was just an injury, not the first one. This was the first time Xiaozi was injured by a human. Last time, she was seriously injured by a zombie, but she hadn’t acted this way. "This little one," muttered Du You, patting Xiaozi’s head.

Like she received a reward, Xiaozi’s mood became very upbeat, bustling around happily.

Compared to Xiaozi, the bear’s foolish and pensive demeanor left one somewhat helpless—after all, it was only a common creature.

"What a pity, nothing was left behind, everything wasted," Du You looked at the bodies and shook his head, resigning to his fate.

There was no way around it. Killed Professionals wouldn’t drop anything. How many Semi-Professionals were amongst them, Du You didn’t know, but none of them would explode with anything upon death.

The equipment and items they used to have would directly disappear with their death, with nothing getting left behind.

It was said hundreds of years ago when Professionals died, all their belongings would appear and there was even a chance of skills learned by the original Professional to appear, but this was very dangerous.

Because of this capability, many Professionals initially entered the Derived World and hunted each other, as this approach yielded greater rewards. There was a period when Professionals didn’t want to enter the Derived World due its dangerous nature. Only after a major cleansing, most of the robber Professionals were wiped out by the united Professionals.

Later on, some powerful beings altered some of the Professionals’ data, resulting in nothing appearing when a Professional died, even though this led to a lot of waste.

After the enforcement of this rule, encounters where Professionals slew each other became rare. After all, there was no advantage to such a situation unless one had to seize something, but even then, it could be tricky.

Because of this rule, despite killing so many enemies, Du You had actually left nothing behind.

As for the corpses, Du You couldn’t bother to deal with them, since before long, they would be devoured.

During the dinosaur era, there wasn’t just dinosaurs, but also gigantic insects. At the moment, many insects were already scurrying over to devour the bodies.

No matter what, he had to leave this place first. Since he had already identified his target, Du You wouldn’t let it slip away.

Based on the information the sleazy man had given him, Du You soon found traces in the vicinity. "These width, these dents, they’re definitely left by a large python. Judging by the size, it should be a Titan Python. It’s just a little bigger."

This wasn’t the dinosaur era of Earth’s prehistoric times, but the Dinosaur World. The dinosaurs and other creatures in it are different from those of Earth’s Jurassic. So, it wouldn’t be strange to find an even larger Titan Python. What he needed to do was to follow these traces to find the Titan Python’s whereabouts.

The trace led to the location of Swamp Lake. Pythons usually lived near water sources. The location of the water sources should be the place Du You was looking for.

"Xiaozi, stop fooling around, follow this trace quickly," Du You interrupted Xiaozi, who continued to play. The wounds had healed in such a long time. As for the toxins on the dagger, they were nothing to Xiaozi.

Xiaozi squawked back, promptly spreading her wings to take flight. Du You carefully advanced following the traces left on the ground. But on the way, he didn’t encounter a single Titan Python.

"Have all these things been eaten already? How come I haven’t seen any of them?" Du You found it odd. However, it was also normal for snakes not to eat for long after a meal.

After searching for a long while, Xiaozi suddenly sent him a signal. Du You’s eyes lit up and he quickly sprinted forward.

Finally, from afar, Du You came across a river beach. Several large pythons were lazily basking in the sun on the beach at that moment. Judging from their bulging bellies, they’d clearly just eaten their fill.

In this place abundant in food, Titan Pythons didn’t need to worry about food at all.

"So, there is a nest here, right, I see. No wonder so many people gather here. They seem to understand quite a bit about this situation," Du You thought quietly.

But dealing with such a large nest of pythons, how would he do it? How could he easily eliminate them?

After pondering for some time, Du You, who couldn’t come up with any good ideas, knew he wasn’t a master of tactics.

Helpless, Du You gave up his train of thought, "It seems, planning isn’t my thing after all. I’ll just barge in directly. After all, I’m not weak. These pythons, they’re just 2nd tier."

Indeed, although the Titan Pythons were large, they were only at the highest 2nd level, with many smaller ones around at 1st tier. Being at a lower level meant even with their enormous size, they were still at a disadvantage compared to higher-level beings.

If this wasn’t the case, Du You might have had to level up first. After leveling up and improving his skill levels, he would make a move. "Xiaozi, get ready to fight. Let’s take out these pythons," Du You whispered, slowly moving closer. He pointed his finger at the biggest python outside the group.
