Feeling the huge dark elent between heaven and earth, Du You couldn’t help but wear a bitter expression on his face. "It’s such a pity. All this vast dark power is perfectly compatible with . If I could absorb it, I wonder to what extent I could enhance my Night Body."
"Master, don’t be discouraged, there will always be good things. Besides, hasn’t your Night Body already surpassed your own level?"
Du You nodded, "True, but we are playing under-leveled right now. After we clean up this round, we’ll level up. Even then, it still won’t be enough."
Looking at the Night Body that had reached level 28, he supposed he was being a little too ambitious. Even if he leveled up this ti, he couldn’t possibly jump to level 28 all at once; he needed so ti to adjust.
The centipedes were pretty much defeated by now, but to completely clean them out wasn’t sothing that could be done in a short ti.
Du You decided to open the loot spheres with the two sisters. This ti they reaped quite a few rewards, but they didn’t upgrade as many equipnt as before.
Lin Yucha managed to equip two items: the Centipede Sting Quiver and the Red Light Ring.
Centipede Sting Quiver: Automatically forms arrows that recover every second. Maximum capacity is 300 arrows, total weight remains 1.2 kilograms. Highly toxic arrows, each arrow automatically carries Level 23 poison. (Deep Green)
Red Light Ring: Physical attack power 25, increases penetration. (Deep Green)
This Centipede Sting Quiver must be related to the centipedes’ ability to spit out spikes, it might be an evolutionary product of that ability. Du You had no idea how the Red Light Ring evolved.
In any case, after replacing the Auto-Recovery Quiver, the two items significantly increased Lin Yucha’s power. Lin Yushi has also been given a similar Centipede Sting Quiver.
Additionally, Lin Yushi also gained a Tentacle Headband.
Tentacle Headband: Enhances perception and evasion. (Deep Green)
Seeing the headband on Lin Yushi, Du You couldn’t help but laugh. It was simply too amusing: a round ring with two tentacles on top. When worn, it made the wearer look like a giant insect, as if they were wearing a whimsical costu.
Despite its appearance, the headband did add a touch of cuteness to Lin Yushi. Once Lin Yushi realized its comic effect, she shot Du You a disgruntled look and used her cloaking ability to hide the headband.
"Why are you hiding that? It looks good on you, haha..." Du You couldn’t resist laughing.
Lin Yushi rolled her eyes. She was, after all, dealing with her master, so she wouldn’t reprimand him the way a girlfriend would her boyfriend. It took Du You quite so ti to placate Lin Yushi.
"Nevermind, let’s stash this stuff away." They couldn’t carry all the extra loot back ho since their territory was too far away. Du You found a secret spot nearby and dug a hole to bury the loot and decided to dig it up whenever they had a chance.
As for the task of cleansing the Centipede Forest, it was not yet finished. There were still loads of centipedes lurking in every corner.
As the days went on, a lot of beetles disintegrated because they weren’t able to find enough food in ti, but so beetles managed to find food, maintaining their population.
Three days later, Du You’s army of beetles had dwindled quite a bit, but after exterminating another nest of centipedes, Du You realized he had finally completed his task. "This was such a waste of ti."
Compared to this, Du You preferred the ant situation. All he had to do was watch the Ant Queen, and the ants would co to him, allowing him to kill them. This way, he didn’t have to waste ti sprinting around.
Fortunately, the task was done. He no longer cared how many centipedes were left.
Opening the panel, he pulled up the treasure chest and opened it to reveal a bounty of green crystal coins.
Prescription for Red Pills (third-tier): For expelling evil and detoxifying, as well as removing curses.
"Huh? The main ingredient isn’t a centipede but a dicinal herb called Centipede Grass. I should take these seeds back ho and plant them in the Herb Garden. The Herb Garden might only be a second-tier area with no buffing effect, but it should help with the planting."
Without checking, Du You knew the effects of the Red Pills were extrely important. The detoxifying ability may not be frequently used, but in so special missions, it is an indispensable powerful potion.
The most important aspect of this pill is its ability to remove all kinds of curses. Using this pill, most third-tier curses can be ignored. You must know that many tis, the effects of a curse are even more effective than direct attack spells.
The main advantage of this pill is that it voids curses and grants immunity to normal curses for a period of ti. This is especially significant for those who use curse spells as their main attack thod.
It’s just like my Cursed Crow, which uses Bleeding Curse and Song of Misfortune. This pill can shield both spells. Even the Weakening Aura curse can be granted immunity for a limited ti. What a useful asset! Plus, I can plant the herbs myself. If I can mass-produce them, this could beco a specialty in my territory going forward."
("Selling them in bulk would bring in a lot of green crystal coins for my territory’s developnt, forming a perfect cycle. I am so smart! And yes, I should collect the seeds, and have Shaliya organise a planting when we return.")
After storing away the seeds, Du You turned his attention to the last item: a red centipede statue.
Centipede King statue: Able to summon centipedes through sacrifices. It offers a permanent summon—that is, a better effect can be achieved if it is partnered with an altar. (Third-tier)
"What is this? For sacrificing? Why does it feel like sothing evil?" Du You thought of a scene where a group of worshippers were sacrificing around an altar.
As for the exact way to wield it, how was Du You, the Spellcaster, to know? It was obviously prepared for a spellcaster.
As for the level and ability of the summoned centipede, and what it can do, Du You had no idea. Surely, it couldn’t an that everyone was to get a pet centipede. Unable to figure out the purpose of the Centipede King statue, Du You simply stored it. He would figure out how to sell it once he got back ho.
With his growing strength, he found that his ability to find good items was also improving. It wasn’t so easy to obtain so many precious items before.
Of course, that was thanks to the unique setting of this monster-spawning scenario, which offered him this opportunity. Without such a unique place, he, despite his power, would be unable to do anything.
Like others, he would only rely on completing missions to earn crystal coins and items, and that would take a long, long ti. Shaking his head, Du You pointed towards the front and declared, "Let’s move on to the next place. There might be even better items waiting for us there."
