Early in the morning on the third day, the bear turned into a speck of light and disappeared. This time, Du You was wide awake and saw the bear vanish. "So this is what it looks like when time reaches its limit. The Dark Arrow is quite formidable, it hasn’t fully recovered over one night." It’s been several hours at least. What Du You didn’t expect was that the summoned creature, which usually recovered very quickly, didn’t fully recover from its injuries in the end, only half. The corrosion of darkness power couldn’t be resolved without treatment. Du You stood up and started summoning again, using the same Magic Array. However, Du You didn’t know what to say about his luck this time: "This time even bugs have appeared." In front of him was a tiny creature, or to be precise, a butterfly. Now it must be said that this butterfly, larger than two palms put together, is dazzlingly colorful. It glows with a dreamlike radiance that is captivating. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩 In his previous life, selling a butterfly could have been enough for a lifetime of reckless spending. Dreamy Butterfly: A special species evolved from dream shards. Specialty, Concealment that makes enemies overlook its existence. Skills: Dreamy Powder, when this powder is spilled it induces a dreamlike state in the target. Any attack breaks the effect. Du You looked at the big butterfly in front of him a bit gloomily. This is the first time he saw a level 1 summoned creature with skills. They’re not just powerful--they’re extremely powerful. Even during a fight, using this skill right from the start could at least buy him the first move. As for what happens if it’s attacked and revived, it’s still going down a dead-end road anyway. This concealment ability, allows the Dreamy Butterfly to mimic the colors of its surroundings chameleon-style, making it extremely hard to detect, it exudes a sort of mental guidance. Du You used himself as a guinea pig, and found that if it wasn’t for the mental connection between him and the Dreamy Butterfly, even he would instinctively ignore its existence. He has to admit that he has reached the peak of his basic meditation abilities and possesses two professions. In terms of spiritual resistance, Du You is confident that he is not inferior to a middle-class Magic-class Awakener. But the problem is, this Dreamy Butterfly has no combat power at all. Du You was planning to complete a promotion mission today. Will this pet, which has no combat power, really be useful? He is alone, with a Purple Lightning Golden Eagle, which might not be enough. "Never mind, promotion is the priority, if it really doesn’t work out, then I will use the Crystal Coins to level up, and then complete the promotion mission after leveling up." Du You took a deep breath and commanded the butterfly to land on his shoulder. This creature had another weakness; its flight speed was too slow. Even if he started running, the Dreamy Butterfly wouldn’t be able to keep up with his pace. He pulled out the sphere, and Du You followed the compass direction inside the sphere. "This direction... hasn’t it been explored by the Goblins last night? So they intended to find this." Du You had a vague idea in his mind, and returned to the area where he ambushed Goblin the day before. The ground is a mess – something is clearly amiss. Du You can’t understand how the Goblins could have thought nothing was wrong. Du You crossed this cluster of mounds and continued forward. Following the arrow, he encountered no major dangers along the way. Only after leaving the tribal area did Duo begin to see increasing numbers of animals on the road. There were all sorts of beasts, but instead of attacking, they ran away at the sight of him. In the eyes of these beasts, Du You and the Goblins were probably the same species - both humanoid. Moreover, Du You’s large stature probably made these beasts think he was tougher. Du You didn’t pay much mind to it and continued forward. After walking for more than two hours, Du You finally saw the team of Goblins. "It truly is a Goblin Forest. The tribe from before isn’t the only one here – these lands must belong to a different Goblin tribe." Du You slowed down, keeping one eye on the compass arrow and the other on his surroundings. Along the way, Du You mercilessly eliminated every team of goblins he encountered. But after the killings, the Crystal Coins he acquired became fewer and fewer. It seemed some rules were at work here: he’d have to check it out after he got back. After an unknown period of time, during which Du You had a meal, he eventually came to a small hill under the guidance of the arrow. No, the arrow wasn’t pointing to the hill, but a cave on the side of the hill. The cave was a good five meters off the ground and would be very hard for anyone to discover, let alone climb into. "So the Mysterious Land refers to this place, eh. Xiaozi, come down." Du You gestured for the bird to descend. It wasn’t his first time riding Xiaozi, and though the height might have been discomforting, they were getting used to it. Five meters wasn’t a challenge – they reached it with just one flap of the wings. "The conditions in this cave... I hope it won’t limit Xiaozi’s capability too much." Du You curled his lips, if Xiaozi was also affected, then he would be the only one left to fend for himself today. Nonetheless, now that he had come this far, Du You was not going to give up. After clearing the entrance of the cave of weeds, he walked in. "This thing actually emits light, that’s nice." Du You had not expected that the moment he entered the cave, the sphere in his hand emitted a faint light that illuminated his surroundings – he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to see the ground clearly. His initial intent to make a torch was thus put on hold. The ground was fairly flat, but there was a strange smell inside the cave that was quite off-putting to Du You. No matter. He’d just press on. Du You signalled Xiaozi to follow from behind. Xiaozi couldn’t fly here – she could only walk behind him like a mother hen, clearly ill at ease. "There’s something moving, what kind of monster? Is it a Goblin? Wait, a zombie?" In the dark, a figure slowly came forward, and Du You was startled to find it was a zombie – more specifically, a Goblin Zombie. The name "Common Rotten Zombie" and the number 1 were displayed above its head. "It seems my job promotion trial has begun." Du You chuckled and stepped forward, not calling for any help. Goblins were inherently weak and moved slowly, they were no match for him. With the Sword of Bravery in hand, Du You decapitated the Goblin Zombie. Since it was a zombie, it should die if its head was destroyed, but a discomforting sensation seized Du You the next moment. The zombie was dead, but he didn’t feel well. It was the same feeling as having a fever due to a cold - a burning heat enveloped his whole body. The Rotten Zombie has triggered Plague, and you are being corroded by the Plague. Looking at the newly added information on his screen, Du You scowled. "I wonder how long this thing lasts. If it’s permanent, that would be trouble."
