The number of insects and giant beasts was growing, and they were becoming increasingly violent. The insects could at least be stopped with a Mucus Swamp and some fire, but the giant beasts were a different matter, their magic resistance was too high.
Even if I launched an attack myself with the Disintegration Spell, it took several attacks to kill one. Xiaozi’s Thunder Light Orb was powerful, but it still couldn’t kill one with a single blow.
The giant beasts of this world that could enter at this point were at least level 6, most of them were level 7, which was the same level as Xiaozi and myself. Gradually, the effect of Cursed Crow King became worse and was limited to dealing with insects.
Meanwhile, the magic power consumption of Xiaozi and I was increasing rapidly. This wasn’t a game where you could continuously consume potions and keep killing monsters. Not to mention, I didn’t have any potions to restore magic power.
"I can’t go on ; I must stop this thing."
Du You gradually realized that as more and more blood flowed out, the surrounding giant beasts and insects were becoming more and more frenzied. Du You quickly summoned several Mucus Swamps. The mucus covered the flowing blood, began to mix and corrode it. Finally, the sweet smell was masked and became faint.
Maybe later there will be no smell. As the blood was concealed by himself, the giant beasts and insects seemed to sober up a bit. However, they still did not leave, trying to get in.
If it weren’t for the special terrain of this place and the narrow entrance, Du You wouldn’t know if he could hold off these creatures.
The entrance was blocked by insects and giant beasts, and the beasts in the rear would drag out the bodies of their fallen comrades before continuing the assault.
As for the insects on the ground, many giant beasts were insectivores and began eating them in front of us. However, they often couldn’t eat much before they were pushed and rushed in by the giant beasts behind them, turning into corpses.
These corpses then would be dragged out by the beast’s comrades. Whether they ate them or abandoned them, Du You didn’t know.
"Based on the current situation, it will take at least a few hours to kill this thing. During this time, it could attract more powerful giant beasts to attack, or the summoning range may be limited, and the number of giant beasts and insects may decrease. But I can’t gamble, who knows what will happen."
Du You had no other choice but to wait for the blood to keep draining. If he retreated, maybe he could wait for this sphere to die on its own, but Du You didn’t know if that would work.
So, Du You gritted his teeth and took out his last item.
This item was something that Du You had exchanged for with military merits in the last world and brought it with crystal coins. It was originally for self-defense given his own weaknesses. Who would have expected that it would now have to be used for attack?
Yes, in Du You’s hand was the Soul Extinguishing Arrow, specifically designed against the soul.
He had heard that the souls of giant beasts were fragile, even the souls of the Heavenly Disaster Beasts. The Heavenly Disaster Beasts themselves had strong defensive souls, but he didn’t know if this unfinished evolution beast had that too.
Moreover, such beings with low intelligence, even if they had strong defenses, their souls would fundamentally not be very strong.
Now Du You was going to take a risk and see if the Soul Extinguishing Arrow could have the effect he wanted. If it worked, then he could hold on here. If it didn’t, Du You would immediately escort Xiaozi to fight their way out.
Even if the mission failed, he couldn’t risk his life here. Whenever he chose to take a risk for any task, it was always because he had the opportunity to complete it and had a way to save his life.
As a professional, Du You couldn’t casually waste his life anywhere.
"Well then, let’s use you." Du You injected magic power into the cylinder in his hand.
The cylinder became brighter and brighter, it seemed as if the sphere had sensed something, it was shaking, to an extent that it began to shake the whole cave. The immense power almost knocked Du You off balance.
"Are you scared? That’s great. It means this thing works." Du You wasn’t worried; instead, he chuckled.
With the injection of magic power, the Soul Extinguishing Arrow finally shot out. A bright white light flashed like a streak of lightning. With the appearance of this light, Du You felt the cylinder in his hand shook. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
The next moment, the cylinder in his hand shattered, but it seems like nothing had happened at the scene.
"What’s going on, why is there no reaction? It can’t be useless, right?" Du You was taken aback.
Just as Du You was preparing to retreat, he suddenly noticed that there was a problem with the massive sphere. The heartbeat was slowing down, and the attacks of the giant beasts and insects outside were gradually decreasing in strength.
Finally, a giant beast couldn’t stand the pressure here, turned around and ran, and then more and more giant beasts started to flee.
"What’s going on, is its soul gravely wounded or for some other reason? It can’t be that it died instantly." Du You vigilantly watched his surroundings.
But the giant beasts and insects started to flee, which indicated that his attack worked. The Heavenly Disaster Beasts were not able to control the external giant beasts and insects as effectively.
Heavenly Disaster Beasts acted like kings to the other giant beasts and insects, being able to order them to fight to the death.
However, once a Heavenly Disaster Beast reached the end of its life, the other beasts wouldn’t continue to obey its commands. Their instinct for self-preservation suppressed the instinct to obey a higher-ranking species.
More and more creatures were fleeing, and the sphere started to show more and more wrinkles. The extraction speed of the fresh blood, which was initially fast, suddenly increased by more than tenfold. Numerous wounds appeared around the original wound. The blood flowed out of these wounds faster, which baffled Du You.
After an unknown period of time, Xiaozi stopped attacking because no insects and giant beasts were charging in the cave. The smell of burnt meat filled the cave. It was strangely eerie.
More and more wrinkles appeared on the massive sphere. It gradually deflated. After some time, a crack suddenly appeared on the sphere, and the remaining blood inside surged out like the opening of a gate.
Du You squinted and quickly released a Mucus Swamp to stick all this blood. If he let this stuff flow around, he would probably be soaked in it. He didn’t know if this red stuff had any other dangers, so he didn’t want to touch it.
The sphere shattered, and the flesh membrane made of flesh and blood scattered on the ground. A dark figure slowly emerged from within. It looked like a strange and massive dog, but it walked with a shaky gait.
