Chapter 871: Chapter 871

Du You opened the panel, and the skills on it were slightly different from before.

Eye of the Death God: The gaze of the Death God watches over you, condensing the Eye of the Death God to stare at the enemy. Under the gaze of the Death God, if the enemy cannot pass a will check, they will die instantly. Passive effect: when encountering curse attacks, the Eye of the Death God will automatically dispel the curse, with a chance to rebound the curse. Active use consumes 25% Magic Power each time, with a cooldown of 24 hours. The passive effect does not require consumption. (Level 30, 10 stars)

The Magic Power consumption for active use has decreased, but without restoring Magic Power, one could only use it four times. Of course, the cooldown time is indeed too long, a full day.

In that case, this skill could basically only be used to resist curses from others.

Honestly, with the Dispersion Aura, Du You didn’t particularly fear curses; most curses couldn’t break the Dispersion Aura’s effect, with only a few exceptions impacting himself and his companions.

Now with an additional layer of protection, although it was not a bad thing, it also somewhat lacked usefulness.

"Since the cooldown time is so long, the skill must be very powerful. It’s good to keep it as a trump card,"

Du You said with a smile, as the two sisters were still somewhat worried. The desert environment, if one could avoid it, it was better not to go there. Divine curses, even if weakened, they didn’t know how much impact the curse would have on themselves.

Du You had some regrets too. In the future, when dealing with matters related to Divine Spirits, he would definitely think thrice before acting, and could not act recklessly anymore. He had no choice; he had very limited knowledge in this regard.

Who could have imagined that the Divine Spirits, always considered nonexistent, would one day actually appear. Fortunately, it was only a statue; if it had been a real Divine Spirit, he might not have survived.

Waving his hand, Du You stood up and said, "Let’s go, let’s continue on our journey, this place is of no use to us anymore. Besides, we should try to maximize both Magic Power Boiling and Magic Power Accumulation to their highest level first, there are similar skills on this, and I think they are very likely to be further advanced skills."

Du You himself couldn’t confirm, but it looked likely. He had no choice; advanced skills and basic skills could typically only be achieved through practice, and relying on things like Skill Crystal Stones was extremely difficult.

Especially further advanced skills, such items were basically impossible to find on the market. If they couldn’t be obtained by himself, then he had to rely on innate talent to forcefully learn them.

The three of them walked out and the most valuable thing in this great hall was the Divine Manual. As for the statue, Du You didn’t know if it had any value to the Sandpeople, but now it was gone.

The empty shrine, even if discovered, what could it change. After leaving, Du You instructed the Death Gorilla to block the entrance again to restore it to its original state. After all, this place was discovered by himself, and Du You hadn’t thought of giving it away cheaply to those Sandpeople. After completing all this, Du You recalled most of the Summoned Beasts, and then the group continued to move forward.

On the road, as before, they hunted Magical Beasts. If the hunted Magical Beast had any useful parts, they would let Elsa consume them to strengthen and improve her own abilities.

After breaking through to the third tier, tier-four materials were still beneficial to Elsa, but their effects had lessened a lot. The gains from each Cultivation session were diminishing, probably entering a bottleneck period.

But as long as it was beneficial, Du You would not be stingy. Such vast resource investment, even the Fox People Clan wouldn’t do.

In this way, after spending half a month progressing, the group finally left the Barbarian Kingdom. Of course, whether they really left the place, Du You didn’t actually know, because the boundaries of the Beastman were not specifically defined.

"These slightly purple leaves, yes, this is the hallmark of the Grey Elf Forest. We’d better not drop our disguise, the Grey Elves are very wary of humans,"

Du You nodded slightly: "I know. Humans often capture Elves as slaves, their wariness is normal. But aren’t they wary of Beastman?"

Elsa rolled her eyes: "The aesthetic views of Beastman and humans are not the same. Beastman capture slaves, not because they are attractive, but because they need strong ones, who can help them work or serve as guards, mostly ignoring the look and focusing on muscles."

Obviously, as a member of the Fox People, Elsa felt the same. Due to the living environment of the Beastman and their historical attitudes towards life, Beastman were completе utilitarian, which greatly differed from humans.

"Those Grey Elves, each one is quite small, clearly lacking strength, we of course would not capture them. Thus, the Beastman have good relations with them. But your human nobility often capture Grey Elves as pets."

"Wait, did you say pets?" Du You found this adjective a bit strange.

"Of course. Oh, you guys don’t know what Grey Elves look like?"

Upon reflection, Du You and his companions nodded; they indeed did not know what they looked like. At the slave market, Du You had seen Half-Elves, but what exactly Grey Elves were, he had never seen.

"Well, you will see soon. Let me remind you, Grey Elves are only about 1.2 meters tall, very small. They are known for their gray skin and they also look quite nice. But except for a very few perverts, very few people would like such beings. It is said that in the forest, Grey Elves are very similar to monkeys."

Just 1.2 meters? Du You measured with his hand, now understanding. The Grey Elves were indeed a bit too dainty, a height of 1.2 meters was simply like a child, one not very old at that. Follow current novᴇls on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Even Elsa had surpassed this height now. No, one should say, even the Dwarves, even the Goblins were taller than the Grey Elves; it was hard to imagine how they occupied this part of the forest.

But regardless, they were not here for these things. To obtain what they wanted, they had to make contact with the Grey Elves. Through Elsa, Du You knew that the Grey Elves also existed in the form of tribes.

However, the tribes of the Grey Elves did not move around but were fixed in some large trees; unless there were accidents, they would live in the same place generation after generation. But in this jungle, there was also no map of the terrain. The Grey Elves didn’t need it, and it was difficult for others to enter, and even if they did, such a map wouldn’t be of much use.
