Having persisted for a full three days, during which his Summoned Beasts died several tis only to recover with ti.
Throughout these three days, Du You was constantly on high alert, now feeling extrely exhausted. He had no idea how many tis he had smashed through the Yellow Sand Giant, but it was all in vain.
Finally, in a mont of negligence from Du You, the Yellow Sand Giant broke free from the entanglent of the other Summoned Beasts and threw a punch at Du You.
The fist detached from the wrist and flew towards him, sweeping over with trendous force.
In the nick of ti, Du You’s magic power barrier and Dark Absorption instinctively appeared, blocking the blow but still sending Du You flying far away. When he stopped, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
At this mont, Du You finally snapped out of his frenzied assault. "What was I thinking before? Why was I so hell-bent on clashing with this thing?" Du You wondered, perplexed.
In the end, Du You realized there was a problem with his mindset. Being accustod to a smooth and successful life recently, he felt a strong dissatisfaction when faced with setbacks. This was the main reason for his stubbornness in this battle.
Blocked by a creature clearly inferior to himself, it would’ve been strange if Du You felt comfortable.
The previous battles caused Du You’s ntal focus to be highly concentrated, which is why he hadn’t considered other matters, acting purely on instinct. His psychological issues ca directly to the forefront.
Now that these issues had surfaced, they weren’t a problem anymore as long as he adjusted his ntality afterwards.
The real trouble was this Yellow Sand Giant; Du You didn’t know if only this one was such a nuisance or if all seven Heavenly Disaster Giants were similar. If it were the latter, it would be truly troubleso.
Seeing that continuing the fight was pointless, as the Yellow Sand Giant’s strength in this desert was endless, and it fought on instinct without complex thoughts, there was no sign of ntal fatigue. Continuing the battle would ultimately be unlucky for Du You. Looking at the sisters, they were also very exhausted now.
"Master, how are you? Are you alright?" The two inquired worriedly about Du You.
Du You took a deep breath and then loudly said: "Let’s go, we’ll leave this place first, then figure out a way to deal with this thing."
Direct confrontation was the simplest way, but if that didn’t work, then he had to think of other thods. The sisters also breathed a sigh of relief; they had long noticed that Du You seed to have so ntal issues.
But since their master did not wish to leave, they could only accompany him here, without expressing any objections.
The sisters were not as powerful as Du You. If even he felt ntally fatigued, it was even more so for them.
Hearing that they were leaving, the two imdiately used Instantaneous Movent to appear by Du You’s side. At the sa ti, Du You withdrew Xiaozi and Bubble. One was a pet, which couldn’t die, and the other was his first Summoned Beast, quite special. As for the other Summoned Beasts, Du You left them behind to stall the Yellow Sand Giant, planning to withdraw them later if possible.
If not, they could just die there and wait for the resurrection cooldown.
The three left in a sowhat disheveled hurry, quickly leaving the expanse of the desert behind.
After leaving this place, although other areas were no longer deserts, they were still barren. It wouldn’t be accurate to say not a blade of grass grew, but attempting to cultivate this land was by no ans an easy feat.
Especially the water sources, they were incredibly scarce here. Du You regretted not getting a Summoned Beast with water attribute earlier; it would have been effortless then to summon even a trickle of water, sparing him the trouble of an arduous search later on.
"Three died, the rest have returned." Having moved far away, Du You recalled all his Summoned Beasts.
He imdiately sensed that three had perished upon his first check. The Death God Scorpion, as the one that controlled sand, succumbed because it was strongly counteracted by the opponent, even though its control over sand was the strongest.
The last one to die was the Lich King. As a Summoned Beast of the magic type, it really couldn’t exert much force within this expanse of yellow sand. Once Du You left, the Lich King quickly succumbed to the intensified pressure.
After dying twice, they were truly dead and could only wait to be revived.
Just then, Lin Yucha suddenly said, "Master, look quickly, there’s a castle ahead. There must be people there."
Du You looked up, and indeed there was a castle with a very unique style, one that had never been seen on Earth before. And such a grand castle was undoubtedly inhabited.
Unlike the mud houses seen before, this castle was by far the largest and most luxurious building in the vicinity.
"Let’s go, we’ll take a closer look. If such a construction exists here, it implies that this likely is the dwelling of the local ruler. These upper class individuals should know sothing about the Yellow Sand Giant."
Du You also realized that the Yellow Sand Giant here was definitely a huge threat, as evidenced by the dust drifting across the sky—a result of the previous sandstorm. Probably the vast expanse of desert was also a testant to the Yellow Sand Giant’s work. If so, the local ruler would surely want the Yellow Sand Giant eliminated.
Du You, being a king himself, had so understanding in these matters. With this, there was a basis for cooperation between them. The locals might not be strong, but they must know many things.
Du You slightly refreshed his spirits and instructed Lin Yucha to fly over using the Platform Floating Cloud.
As the Floating Cloud drew closer, the soldiers finally noticed Du You and his companions.
"Who are you, daring to trespass on the Imperial Palace grounds?"
"Is this the Imperial Palace? That makes sense, only no ordinary person could build such a structure near the desert." Du You wondered whether there were any professions in this world capable of controlling soil and rocks; if not, this was indeed a grand construction.
"I want to see your king, I would like to understand more about the Yellow Sand Giant matter over there."
"Who are you to inquire about that Demon? Do you think you can et the king just because you desire to?"
The surrounding soldiers aid their weapons at the trio, and had it not been for their previous mode of arrival—flying in—they might have already been attacked. Du You felt sowhat displeased to be aid at with weapons by soldiers who were at most of the third tier.
With his increase in strength, Du You no longer treated everything with indifference like before. Lin Yushi stepped forward and snorted lightly, unleashing a powerful aura that imdiately suppressed all the soldiers around, rendering them incapable of moving.
