Chapter 874: Chapter 874

This place had many demons, and the deeper one went, the more demons there were. However, this was nothing for Du You and his companions, as they were all too familiar with demons.

"Tier four demons indeed have their own thoughts, but most demons are quite foolish. Especially the common types, they can totally be treated as if they are mentally challenged," Lin Yucha remarked.

"Don’t be careless, the fact that demons have destroyed so many worlds certainly means they are not so simple."

Du You spoke softly, believing that among the demons there must be those with high intelligence. Otherwise, it would be impossible to destroy those worlds merely with strength and numbers. Common demons were likely just cannon fodder.

Lin Yucha had already summoned her Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, and even if they faced several tier four demons, they could still come out victorious. After all, these common demons were no match for it.

Lin Yushi also began to use demons to create high-quality Demon Extermination Spirits. Though not very powerful, they were abundant in number. They could distract the demons, making it easier to land a deadly blow.

Besides, these Demon Extermination Spirits were a counter to demons. Even if their own strength wasn’t enough, the power they carried could still inflict significant injuries on the demons. Du You’s side had even less of a problem, as they could just bulldoze through.

Although they had encountered some Grey Elves along the way, these elves never suspected Du You’s identity.

It couldn’t be helped; the Grey Elves were isolated from the outside world and seldom encountered different scenarios. Moreover, the role of a priest was too broad. There were various kinds of priests, so it was normal for any sort of magic skill to appear.

So, when Du You waved his hand and unleashed a barrage of Dark Flame Arrow Array, it only made those Grey Elves curious and envious, without arousing any suspicion. Had a Beastman seen this, they would have definitely sensed something was off with Du You. What kind of priest could cast spells so quickly? Even if there were a few with such speedy spell-casting, none held such immense power.

The totem flag in Du You’s hand was merely for show.

"Leave this one to me," Elsa said as she hopped over joyfully upon seeing a tier three demon, charging straight towards it. Du You didn’t stop her but merely asked Xiaozi to pay a bit more attention.

Indeed, without Du You’s instructions, Xiaozi, who adored Elsa, would certainly protect her well.

Elsa’s strength kept increasing, though her combat experience was somewhat lacking. It was perfect to use these demons as practice. Ironically, although Elsa’s power didn’t counteract the demons, the demons’ power could not suppress Elsa either.

It seemed as though both sides neutralized each other’s advantages. Facing such resistant demons, Elsa could unleash her full potential without worries, continuously enhancing her combat skills.

When searching another Grey Elf house, Du You suddenly had a strange feeling. "This feeling, can Purple Lightning Golden Hawk still evolve? No, this isn’t the sensation of an evolution material; this is a Thunder and Lightning Attribute Crystal Core."

Before Du You could react, Xiaozi had already landed from the sky, tilting its head at Du You with a look of pleading and desire.

"All right, all right, you can have it," Du You said, slightly annoyed as he took out the Crystal Core and tossed it to Xiaozi. Xiaozi swallowed it excitedly and then closed its eyes, remaining motionless. Its body crackled with unpredictable thunder and lightning, creating numerous electric sparks around it. Meanwhile, Du You also informed the two sisters about this.

Everyone paused their advance, and soon Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi joined them with their summoned creatures.

"How is it going, has Xiaozi recovered yet?" Elsa asked, both curious and concerned. Perhaps due to her Beastman nature, Elsa was more fond of these summoned creatures, especially the intelligent Xiaozi.

"It’s about to recover, Xiaozi’s consciousness is already awakening. Let’s see, it seems it developed a new skill."

Du You opened the interface and quickly found the newly added skill Thunder God Ring under Purple Lightning Golden Hawk’s skills.

Thunder God Ring: Creates a ring with a diameter of 2-50 yards made from the power of thunder and lightning, forming a spherical thunder and lightning barrier along the ring’s boundary. Any material and energy passing through the barrier will undergo a thunder-charged effect. Maximum duration 3 days, cooldown time 5 minutes.

"What kind of skill is this? Thunder charging, does it replenish its energy?" Lin Yushi asked, feeling puzzled but certainly interested given its relation to thunder and lightning.

"Xiaozi is awake now. Wouldn’t we know by trying it?" Du You said, pointing at Xiaozi. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Xiaozi fluttered its wings joyously, clearly intrigued by its new skill. Following where Du You pointed, Xiaozi spread its wings, and a purple thundering ring suddenly emerged, moving at a very high speed.

The thunder ring hit the ground, and a layer of lightning glimmered then vanished, but Du You could feel the energy still present. "All right, let’s test it," Du You said.

Through testing, Du You finally understood what this skill was for. "This Thunder God Ring is dual-purpose—it’s both a prison ring and an attack ring."

The others nodded in agreement. "It’s a pity that the ring can’t move; otherwise, it would have been excellent."

"Already, it’s very powerful; if it could move, it would be a domain, and moreover a dual-purpose domain." This Thunder God Ring was a discharging barrier; any material or energy passing through would be electrified. Whether someone inside wanted to get out or someone from outside wanted to come in, they would be attacked, effectively sealing it from both directions.

Likewise, magic and other objects attempting to pass through would also be electrified. Different types of magic being electrified would have their power reduced, lowering the attack effectiveness both inside and out. However, for thunder and lightning skills, things were entirely different. When these skills pass through the Thunder God Ring, they would be charged with electricity, enhancing the skill’s power.

This skill was somewhat ineffective for Xiaozi itself since as a bird, it needed to fly and couldn’t afford to stay stationary for attacks.

However, for Lin Yushi, it was very beneficial. If Lin Yushi chose to stay in one spot and launch attacks, wearing a Thunder God Ring would greatly boost her lightning-arrow-based attack skills.

Of course, some ranged weapons immune to thunder would also pass through with an added layer of electricity, imbuing them with additional offensive capabilities. This dual-purpose state had a powerful effect on enemies and similarly would cause significant damage to oneself.
