My Doomsday Territory-Chapter 2 Building a Castle!
Chapter 2 Building a Castle!
Translator: SumTLMan
“Is this source crystal?”
In his hands, a small white crystal sparkles as if it was the most beautiful treasure in the world. Before the doomsday, if he had such a crystal, one would be enough to make a fortune!
This is Tang Yu’s first time seeing one, but he is quite sure that this is a source crystal, rather than a sparkling diamond. If he holds it tightly in his hand, he can feel some warmth, which shows it contains amazing energy.
The source crystal was detected by the system, showing it contains about one unit of energy, which hasn’t been found by the awakened ones. These awakened ones are even poorer than Tang Yu imagined, or maybe these people didn’t bring it with them when they escaped. Along the way, he searched several awakened one’s bodies but didn’t find anything good.
The source crystal was dug out from a demonized beast. He has cut open a number of heads from the demonized beast corpses… This was the only source crystal he was able to dig out. But as he continued cutting, he was becoming more adept at cutting open the demonized beast heads.
As time went on, Tang Yu began worrying about whether he could gather up a hundred units of source crystal in the end. In case these awakened ones were truly poor, or if some of them escaped. They would cheat or rob him if they saw him taking away the source crystals…
As more time passed by, he also found some food to satisfy his hunger for a little while longer as he continued his search. The situation in the villa area is somewhat better… When Tang Yu had searched most of the villas in this area, he was able to carry out more than a dozen source crystals in his arms.
“It’s a pity that… This amount of source crystal is far from enough. Hopefully, I can find enough source crystals in this last villa.”
This is a single-family villa which looks more luxurious and covers a larger area. It is the last villa that Tang Yi can search in the eastern district of the villa area. The whole villa area is divided into eastern and western districts. Although the western district occupies a larger area, there is also a wide distance between the two districts. If there aren’t enough source crystals, when he heads to the western district from the eastern district, there will be a lot more dangers and risks involved.
Tang Yu walked carefully into the villa garden, but suddenly.
“Ding! An energy response of more than 100 units of source crystals has been detected within 100 meters ahead. Please collect… As soon as possible. Ding! Detected…”
The system’s voice sounded in Tang Yu’s head which completely scared him. This broken system, which usually doesn’t put have any emotions when explaining. Unexpectedly, gave a reaction as he clearly heard the contents from the voice. After listening, his expression was overjoyed as he said.
“Even the Heavens can’t stop me!”
Although the villa is large, the damage was still very serious. Along the way, he saw some deep pits on the ground which can only appear if the ground was hit by an explosive. The vegetation in the garden also seems to have been burned down by the fire, leaving only ashes littering the ground.
When Tang Yu walked in from the broken side of the wall, he saw a scene of a house filled with devastation. The door of one of the bedrooms was left ajar, and vaguely, he could see a little glint from a broken safe.
“I found it!”
He quickly stepped forward and came to the bedroom door. Just as he was about to step inside, he suddenly came to a halt.
His pupils sharply contract!
In the bedroom next to the broken safe, a brown, wild boar-sized demonized beast with fur expanding outward on the body like steel spines was seen. Its back is facing Tang Yu as he noticed it was gnawing at something.
Click crack, the sound of cracking was especially loud given the circumstances. Tang Yu held his breath and dared not make any sounds.
He has recognized the strange creature in front of him. This is a demonized beast!
Compared with humans, animals which are affected by the red fog may become demonized and form a new demonized beast species. In front of him is a demonized beast, Demonized Steel Rat which is a demonized ordinary rat!
This is only the lowest rank demonized beast, but this monster is still a deadly threat to Tang Yu!
Instinctively, he wanted to take a few steps back, but the demonized steel rat had found him. With a squeak, its whole body rushes towards Tang Yu like a brown meatball.
This brown meatball is extremely fast, and the steel spines on its fur gleamed with a cold light. After a little hesitation, Tang Yu realized he couldn’t escape!
His only chance at survival is to kill the demonized steel rat and get its source crystal!
He kept a close eye on the fast-approaching demonized steel rat. Only its fast-moving brown figure was left in his pupils.
These thoughts flashed through his mind as Tang Yu suddenly calmed down.
Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps…
Tang Yu holds the gun with his hands as the dark muzzle points at the demonized steel rat. It came closer and closer!
“Bang bang bang bang bang!”
The shots were fired through the barrel of the type 54 pistol. A bullet, with strong kinetic energy, violently struck the demonized steel rat. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
Tang Yu has never practised shooting. But perhaps because it came too close, or he was extremely focused, the five shots fired from the clip had all landed.
The fur of the demonized steel rat looks like it has been damaged in several places as dark green blood continuously flows out of the wounds. It has been severely hurt and screeched out in pain for a bit. But a demonized creature has very strong vitality. In the eyes of the demonized steel rat, he sees a ferocious light flicker.
It no longer cares about its wound and continues rushing at Tang Yu!
Tang Yu’s ferocity also rose. He threw down the pistol with the empty clip, pulled out his dagger, and stabbed the demonized beast hard with widened eyes.
One stab after another landed with the dagger as blood spatters on his arms and chest, dyeing it a deep green. Tang Yu no longer felt anything. He just keeps exerting himself.
When he calmed down, Tang Yu didn’t realize how many stabs he had given the demonized rat before it had already fallen in a pool of blood its own blood.
“Haa haa~.”
Tang Yu gasped heavily. His arms were tired, his clothes became tattered and his skin. Especially the arm using the dagger received many cuts from the steel spines. Every time he moved, even if it was slight, he grimaced with pain.
Before he could relax, all of a sudden, his face changed again.
Outside the house, roars sounded from demonized beasts.
Tang Yu knows it was the gunshots that attracted more demonized creatures.
What arrived was a humanoid demonized beast covered in grey and black fur. It stood more than two meters tall and had sharp claws on each hand. What else caught Tang Yu’s eyes was…
A huge fiery red scorpion also followed along.
As well as a big black snake shrouded in green gas.
Tang Yu’s face became extremely solemn. The three demonized beast, no matter which one, are far from comparable to the demonized steel rat from just now.
He isn’t a match against these beasts!
Tang Yu turns around and runs. Regardless of the pain, he swoops near the vicinity of the source crystal and reaches for it.
“Ding, one hundred and twenty-five units of source crystal have been detected. The lord has a total of 141 units of source crystal. Would you like to build the Lord’s Castle?”
“Build it quickly!”
Many source crystals immediately turned into spots of light and disappeared as if being becoming the most gorgeous display of fireflies. Tang Yu felt a little heartache. This was perhaps the most “money” he had received in his entire life.
The light and shadows dancing around are extremely gorgeous. But all of a sudden, it seems as if a gust of wind has swept through while great changes were taking place all around.
The originally devastated environment in the villa had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by classical decoration.
The floor was covered with a red carpet, and the ceiling hung beautiful chandeliers.
On the walls, it was either decorated with exquisite murals or inlaid with huge crystals.
The tables and chairs in the room are all giving off a faint woody fragrance. He doesn’t know what kind of wood, but there are broad and soft leather sofas which can be used as beds.
Several vivid and lifelike statues decorated the hall.
A basketball-sized crystal is suspended in the centre of the hall.
Tang Yu is almost petrified. How can it be so luxurious? At the end of the day, how can he go from a deadly environment to this extravagant place? This is simply… Too shocking!
Although this hall is indeed luxurious, he still knows the most urgent concern at present is still the looming threat of the three demonized beasts outside.
Tang Yu turned his attention back outside. A gate which stood three meters high and four meters wide had already been formed in place of the original villa door. At this time, the gate was open. Two puppets appeared, they were dressed in blue and white armour, wearing masks and holding spears. Both appeared on each side of the gate as if they were the gatekeepers.
It was clear to Tang Yu that this was the guard puppets that the system had mentioned would be attached to the core of the castle.
Through the gate, the outside world is still the same as before, but now it was in sharp contrast to this luxurious hall within the gate.
Tang Yu is still a little nervous. These three demonized beasts seem difficult to mess with. He doesn’t know how the strength of these two puppets will compare with them or whether they can get rid of these three demonized beasts.
The strange puppet guards said nothing. One of them took a few steps back to secure the castle gate.
Another puppet guard assumes a fighting stance. When the giant fiery red scorpion quickly approaches, it suddenly moves!
After the puppet guard’s body shakes, in the next moment, it appeared in front of the giant fiery red scorpion. There is a sound of breaking wind as its spear penetrate the layers of carapace. Before the giant fiery red scorpion has a chance to react, its carapace has been completely penetrated.
From the bottom to the top, one stab went through the skull!
The first demonized creature has died!
But it wasn’t over!
After solving the giant fiery red scorpion, the puppet guard took the initiative to attack again. Donned in full body armour, it still moves faster than any demonized beasts Tang Yu has ever seen. It was as if it’s the whole body turned into blue lightning, and after several leaps, it came to the other two demonized beasts.
The strikes thundered out! The fighting style of the puppet guard is simple and rough. With chops, stabs and simple attacks, but what was particularly frightening about these attacks were the unparalleled speed and strength behind each strike.
In the blink of an eye, the humanoid demonized beast had its head smashed in, and the big black snake was pierced with a single stab!
During this period, only a few seconds had passed. The two demonized beasts maintained their previous forward-facing dash. But after death, they rolled with inertia while a long trace of all kinds of blood were left as they fell and dragged their bodies on the ground.
The sound of the spear whistling through the air seemed to reverberate in his ears… Tang Yu froze for a moment and thought: Aren’t these three demonized beasts too weak?
But he knows that it’s not these demonized beasts being too weak, it’s just that his puppet guards are too powerful. He doesn’t know how many times stronger they are compared to the awakened ones he has seen before!
This kind of puppet guard is truly amazing! Although Tang Yu still thinks the one hundred units of source crystals are too much. He keeps wondering if the system can give him a discount!
Three large demonized beast bodies lay outside the castle gate as a wave invisible to the naked eye energy escaped from the dead demonized beasts. A small part of it dissipated directly into the air, but a larger part of the energy flows toward Tang Yu’s direction.
Tang Yu’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help showing an excited expression on his face.
