Chapter 1355: Chapter 594: Barbarian? Forebear?_2

"Huh?" Mu You was taken aback. What was happening now? The Bone Dragon was attacked? But he didn’t see any other creatures in the Fog-breaking Mirror...

Without time to think, Mu You hurriedly retraced his steps and then took control of his character to run towards where the Bone Dragon was falling.

[...You have found the fallen Bone Dragon in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.]

[The Bone Dragon, weak from the fall, tried to get up upon seeing you but was temporarily too weak to rise.]

[You hastily checked the status of the Bone Dragon and found its HP had decreased by a small half, and there were some cracks on its skull and claws, but apart from that, it was largely unharmed.]

[After the Bone Dragon recovered a bit, you quickly asked what had happened.]

[The Bone Dragon told you that there appears to be a naturally occurring No-fly Zone ahead in space, where only specific creatures can fly. Ordinary creatures who attempt to fly will be struck down by the spatial force, just like it was.]

"No-fly... No wonder..."

Having read that, Mu You suddenly realized. A few perilous peaks would not warrant a description as ’extremely dangerous’. Now, with the addition of this flying restriction, it all made sense.

The isolated peaks ahead seemed virtually impassable from the land below, and now flying was not allowed either, making it a truly isolated area cut off from the world.

Mu You had originally planned to take a look at those perilous peaks to see if there were any clues about the Blood God, but since he couldn’t get through, he might as well not bother.

Coming back to his senses, Mu You suddenly remembered his Poisonous Velvet Knife and quickly checked the Synthesis Furnace.

[Synthesis Succeeded! Your Poisonous Velvet Knife has evolved into ’Blood-sucking Velvet’.]

[Blood-sucking Velvet: God’s Power +10, God’s Defense +3, Agility +25. Every hit with Blood-sucking Velvet absorbs 15% of the true HP damage dealt, and reduces the target’s God’s Defense by 1 point for 15 seconds, stackable. After five consecutive hits, a layer of Spider Web forms on the target’s surface, restricting its movements. It can be further upgraded (cannot be synthesized further with materials from the Demon Scorpion).]

God’s Power increased by two points and God’s Defense by three points, and as expected, it gained the ability to leech HP, which indeed was a considerable improvement.

Most importantly, it could still be upgraded!

Mu You nodded in satisfaction.

He was unsure of how many times the Synthesis Furnace could upgrade a single piece of equipment, but going by the prompts from the two upgrades it seemed that each kind of demon material could only undergo one transformation, after which it couldn’t be used for further enhancement.

However, it seemed that regardless of compatibility, a single transformation was guaranteed, although higher compatibility materials could achieve a full transformation at once, saving materials.

Whereas with low compatibility, it required multiple syntheses, like the previous Spider Web Gland, which took three successful attempts to reach its limit, not to mention the failures that consumed a substantial amount of materials.

Getting back to the matter at hand, having acquired the new weapon, Mu You was just about to find another monster to test it out.

Just then, a red warning alert popped up.

[You suddenly hear a deep call from deep within the forest, followed by the ground starting to shake, as if something was rapidly approaching you...]

[In just a few seconds, you see a huge humanoid figure dashing towards you from the deep forest, climbing nimbly between the trunks like a monkey, advancing swiftly in your direction.]

"Titan?"

Mu You’s heart skipped a beat.

What a stroke of bad luck today, first encountering a bird bigger than a mountain, and now a Titan...

These past few days, the highest-level monsters players have come across were only five-star, and he thought five-star beings were the top of the food chain around here, but there were so many powerful entities lurking in the shadows.

The previous giant bird was one thing; at least it didn’t do any real harm to the players, but this Titan, if confirmed, would be trouble!

If you find a cockroach in your house, it’s very likely there’s a whole nest of them, and the same logic applies to Titans. The appearance of a Titan here indicates there could be a Titan Tribe nearby!

And the current location is alarmingly close to Dawn City, less than a hundred miles away, which is practically the same as directly hitting a Titan nest in the Real World.

If Dawn City were to be discovered by the Titans and they sent troops to raid it, the city would have no means of defense at this point.

Moreover, other cities haven’t developed the ability to fly, and the players of Dawn City, even if they wanted to relocate, would have nowhere to go, forced to watch helplessly as Dawn City is overtaken and they’re cast into the wilderness...

Mu You took a deep breath; there was no time to ponder further, as he urgently called for the Bone Dragon to retreat while covertly watching the approaching figure from behind.

If he confirmed the intruder to be a Titan, he would have to summon people immediately to counterattack, trying his best to keep this creature pinned here and prevent it from going back to send a signal.

[The humanoid figure was faster than you imagined. You and the Bone Dragon had barely retreated a few hundred meters before the figure broke through the thick fog, skillfully rushing through the trees overhead, and, getting the jump on you, landed in front of you.]

[It was only then that you could see clearly: the newcomer stood about ten meters tall, much shorter than an ordinary Titan, hunched over with green skin, wielding a rough wooden spear, seemingly humanoid but with a profusion of hair and a tail behind, and a face that retained obvious animal traits, such as fangs and protruding mouth and nose, looking more like a half-human, half-ape creature.]
