The City of Terror Chapter 90-103

Chapter 90 - Giant Legs Stepping Down

    Wei Xiao Bei reached the food street, but suddenly stopped and cursed.

    What the f.u.c.k?

    The mist that had disappeared from the food street had once again appeared. Worse of all, those Green Dwarfs appeared from the mist and started charging towards him!

    In just a few seconds, more than a hundred Green Dwarfs came out from the mist.

    His pitchfork had been sc.r.a.pped on the laboratory building's rooftop. Dealing with the Green Dwarfs was much harder than before.

    "Ah!"

    However, Wei Xiao Bei did not think much about it anymore at this points. He stomped on the ground and charged towards the Green Dwarfs.

    Iron Mountain Lean!

    Although he could slowly defeat the Green Dwarfs, the two legs from the distance were continuously closing in. Wei Xiao bei did not dare bet his luck, so he killed the Green Dwarfs, leaving a trail of blood.

    With his fastest speed, he quickly knocked against a Green Dwarf. The Green Dwarf could not even respond, and flew off like a golf ball from impact. In an instant, the Green Dwarfs behind it, fell down like dominoes. As for the Green Dwarf that flew off, it had already died from its breastbone shattering.

    Wei Xiao Bei's strength did not diminish after that. He opened his arms and grasped onto two Green Dwarfs that were running towards him. He spun like a windmill, turning the two Green Dwarfs ino weapons and killing through the crowd.

    Wei Xiao Bei ma.s.sacred through the Green Dwarfs. Every Green Dwarf that was. .h.i.t died as they were sent flying with their bones broken.

    When Wei Xiao Bei finally left the encirclement, the only thing remaining from the two Green Dwarfs in his hands were two thighs.

    Exhale!

    Wei Xiao Bei panted, the feeling of excitement welled up on his face.

    The Green Dwarfs seemed to not be blocking him at all. Even when he was already behind them, they did not look back at all. On the contrary, they ran away to a different part of the food street.

    What's going on?

    When he was still hesitating on whether to pa.s.s through the mist, he saw the mist condense into the Mist Draconic Horse. The horse bellowed out and wildly charged at him.

    It's coming?

    Although Wei Xiao Bei was able to judge that the Mist Draconic Horse was not fully targeting him, dealing with something that could match the Big Tree Spirit made him tense up to the point that he could not speak.

    Wei Xiao Bei took big strides and charged towards one of the stores at the side.

    From his point of view, this was already the most he could do.

    If the Mist Draconic Horse had a sudden change of mood, not wanting to eat tree bark and instead, human meat, Wei Xiao Bei would probably just have to die inside the mist.

    The wind spilled inside the room and the mist pervaded it. However, in the next instant the mist disappeared.

    Wei Xiao Bei carefully peeked his head out. The Mist Draconic Horse had disappeared, but at the end of the food street, a field of green could be seen.

    The forest appeared again?

    While Wei Xiao Bei was thinking, the ground suddenly shook. Soon after, the roots of the trees in the forest appeared one after the other. The smaller trees were the fastest. When their roots were out, they escaped to the distance.

    Eh? What does this mean?

    Seeing the Tree Spirits suddenly appear frightened, Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate. He finally understood what was going on in the next moment.

    Boom! Boom!

    The loud booming sound echoed. He could feel the ground beneath him shake like ocean tide. The shaking was so strong that he could not even stand still.

    He staggered, falling to the ground. He could not even stand nor sit as he laid horizontal to the ground.

    It only during this time that Wei Xiao Bei thought about the benefits of the sub-attributes under agility. If his balance and other agility sub-attributes increased to above 13, he could have dealt with the shaking easier.

    He exerted all his effort to prop himself up and raise his head. When he looked, most of the Tree Spirits had already escaped to the distance. In their terrified state, these Tree Spirits pulled out their own roots and ran away quickly. What came to Wei Xiao Bei's mind was a scene of turmoil and chaos.

    However, the Big Tree Spirit was too huge. With its hundred meter tall height, let alone escape in such a small amount of time, it had not yet even pulled out most of its roots. The 30-40 meter tall Tree Spirits around it were also quite slow. After they had pulled out their roots, they started to slowly crawl away.

    However, what Wei XIao Bei saw next had shocked him to the core.

    Boom, boom!

    One of the huge legs suddenly descended from the skies, stepping towards the direction of the Big Tree Spirit.

    It was the first time that Wei Xiao Bei was able to clearly see what the huge legs actually looked like.

    It was not that different from a human's legs. However, it was big beyond reasonable limits. The hair on it was more than ten meters long and was so thick and solid, each one looked like an electric pole.

    There were foreign matter of different sizes and shapes that fell down as the giant leg moved. However, Wei Xiao Bei could not clearly see them from a distance.

    The Big Tree Spirit that was under the shadow of the foot seemed to have finally understood that danger was about to descend.

    With loud boom, it quickly pulled out its roots and stabbed towards the skies like a forest of spears.

    The Big Tree Spirit's roots were tenacious. Wei Xiao Bei knew that the sharpness of the roots could even turn an armored car into a beehive.

    Slis.h.!.+

    The speed of the leg's descent was extremely fast. Moreover, the speed at which the roots pierced up was not slow. In an instant, the two collided, creating a sharp ear-piercing sound, as if steel was. .h.i.tting steel.

    However, the tree roots were still just tree roots. No matter how much force there was, it was not even on par with the huge leg. In a flash, the huge leg continued its descent. The roots that hit the huge foot were all crushed.

    However, the Big Tree Spirit did not admit defeat. At the junction of life and death, it sent even more roots and avoided the sole of the foot. Instead, it targeted the weaker points of the foot, like the heel.

    However, the defense of the huge leg surpa.s.sed the Big Tree Spirit's imagination. No matter how much its roots pierced the huge leg, it was only able to leave a few red marks on it.

Chapter 91 - Crushed Big Tree Spirit

    Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei opened his mouth.

    So strong!

    The huge leg above the Big Tree Spirit seemed to be completely casted from an indestructible alloy.

    "Zhilagasa!"

    The foot landed on top of the Big Tree Spirit, causing the Big Tree Spirit to suddenly let out a strange sound. Along with the echo of its voice, a green brilliance exuded out from the Big Tree Spirit's trunk. In the next moment, it concentrated everything it had on the thickest root. Like a viper charging its power, it moved towards the exposed blue vein on the back of the foot, and fiercely pierced it.

    It was not that the Big Tree Spirit had never targeted the vein before, but rather, the huge leg's defense was too high, so it simply could not pierce through it.

    However, it was different this time. The tree root that was carrying the green brilliance unexpectedly pierced through the vein. Soon after, a green colored liquid sprinkled everywhere.

    But the Big Tree Spirit's struggle was only until this point.

    In the next moment, the injured leg suddenly sped up its descent and in an instant, the Big Tree Spirit was stomped..

    Boom!

    The foot was like an atomic bomb as it trampled the Big Tree Spirit. Dust rose from the ground and a shock wave spread throughout the area. The strength of the shockwave had even turned over the last remaining few Tree Spirits.

    Even Wei Xiao Bei who was in the food street was able to feel the force of the shockwave. A dust storm spread, almost suffocating Wei Xiao Bei.

    However, the huge leg did not just stop there. Wei Xiao Bei was able to faintly see the other leg pa.s.s another 300-400 meters and landed on a ruined building. With a loud boom the building was stomped to the ground. The leg that stomped the Big Tree Spirit raised itself again and finally disappeared in the distance.

The wind slowly stopped, and the dust began to settle.

    Is it over?

    Wei Xiao Bei stuck his ear on the ground to carefully listen for any shaking.

    Without a doubt, the huge legs were moving into the distance as the sound of the shaking became smaller.

    Wei Xiao Bei payed attention to his status panel and looked at the battlelog.

    He did not need to look at the battlelog with the Green Dwarfs anymore. The most important point was what was after it.

Battlelog:

Encounter with 3-Star Terror Creature Mist Draconic Horse

Mist Draconic Horse withdrew from the battle.

Battle end.

Witnessed the fight between 4-Star Terror Creature Citizen of Long Bo and 3-Star Terror Creature Big Tree Spirit.

Receive aftermath effects from the battle.

    The most important showed by the battlelog was the 4-Star Terror Creature, !

    4-Star Terror Creature? Citizen of Long Bo?

    Wei Xiao Bei's heart sped up as he recalled the two huge legs.

    Just two legs was already so big. Considering the whole body, its height probably would not be short of 1000 meters!

    A 4-Star Terror Creature is truly terrifying!

    While Wei Xiao Bei was thinking of which myth the monster came from, he heard footsteps approach from behind, making noise in the background.

    When he turned around, he saw that the Green Dwarfs that had retreated, once again charged towards him.

    He did not want to fight with the Green Dwarfs yet. He retreated a few steps and guarded the door. If he stood there, there was no chance that the Green Dwarfs could surround him.

    However, Wei Xiao Bei never imagined that when the Green Dwarfs saw him, their footsteps would slow down. However, after the sharp whistle of one of the Green Dwarfs, the other Green Dwarfs started to move faster. They ignored Wei Xiao Bei and immediately moved towards the original place of the dead Big Tree Spirit.

    Aiya!

    The movements of the Green Dwarfs had roused Wei Xiao Bei. His intelligence was not low, so he was at the very least able to understand why these Green Dwarfs were so excited.

    I was too focused on the Citizen of Long Bo that I forgot about the Big Tree Spirit that was killed by the Citizen of Long Bo!

    Without a doubt, those Green Dwarfs were heading to the Big Tree Spirit!

    Wei Xiao Bei knew that although the monsters of The Dust World did not have a status panel, they could evolve by killing other creatures. Moreover, the effects of their evolution were better than his.

    However, the dead Big Tree Spirit was without a doubt a treasure trove in their eyes.

    Just the 0.1 increase in all attributes was enough to make people go crazy with excitement!

    Chase!

    After understanding this, Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate. He strode out the door and chased after the Green Dwarfs.

    "Die!"

    Blocking other people's livelihood was without a doubt the same as killing their parents!

    Although these words should be directed towards Wei Xiao Bei by the Green Dwarfs, he did not even care about the Green Dwarf's feelings at all. In his eyes, these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds had already s.n.a.t.c.hed away his previous loot, so they were absolutely irreconcilable enemies!

    With a loud roar, Wei Xiao Bei charged towards the Green Dwarfs like a bull. In an instant, the Green Dwarfs were knocked flying. When they landed, they all vomited blood and were left close to their death beds.

    Although the Green Dwarfs were not slow, they were too short. Even if they wanted to run fast, they had their limits. From a human's point of view, they moved only a little bit faster than a jogging pace

    Wei Xiao Bei punched and kick without paying attention to his form at all. As long as  a Green Dwarf was in front of him, he would send it flying with either his kicks or his punches.

    When he had finally pa.s.sed through the Green Dwarfs, the Green Dwarfs lost their previous excitement. They quickly dispersed to the sides, running away.

    I finally drove away those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.

    Wei Xiao Bei's mind was focused on the Big Tree Spirit. He did not chase after the Green Dwarfs and continued to move forward.

    However, soon enough, Wei Xiao Bei's eyes reddened.

    A huge footprint was left behind at the original location of the tree.  Broken branches had spread on all sides like disordered trash.

    His speed was not slow, but he never could have imagined that around the giant footprint, there were already countless Green Dwarfs stooping down in search for something.

Chapter 92 - Rob

    These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are too fast.

    When he thought about it, the Green Dwarfs were just normal 1-Star Creatures. They were at the bottom of all the creatures in The Dust World. If they met any danger and escaped in only a single direction, then they would probably be cleansed off from the Dust World.

    When Wei Xiao Bei had reached the edge of the giant footprint, there were already Green Dwarfs excitedly shouting. It was holding onto something and was about to place it in its mouth.

    "Die!" Wei Xiao Bei noticed that the tree root was still dripping sap. Without a care, he charged ahead. He quickly grabbed onto the tree root and punched the Green Dwarf's head.

    Bang. There was no chance that the Green Dwarf could handle the heavy punch. In an instant, its head sunk down from the break in its neck bone, and died.

    Up to this point, Wei Xiao Bei did not care about how bad the root tasted. He immediately placed the root in his mouth and continuously chewed as he headed to another Green Dwarf that was cheering.

    Those Green Dwarfs were originally fighting over the tree root, but now that Wei Xiao Bei entered the fray, everything became even more chaotic.

    The Green Dwarfs that had picked up the good stuff were not stupid. They would take the opportunity to sneak away when no one was paying attention, and continuously chew.

    After busying himself for a while, he had robbed over 10 tree roots. However, continuously chewing this many tree roots was enough to make his mouth go numb.

    During this time, Wei Xiao Bei also looked at the the pit that made the shape of a giant footprint. The Big Tree Spirit had already been crushed to pieces by the huge foot. Large amounts of tree sap leaked out, turning the pit into a mess.

    In actual fact, Wei Xiao Bei had the impulse to jump down. There was not only a large amount of tree sap, there were also Big Tree Spirit branches that were in a good condition.

    These branches could also be used to make the handle of a great spear!

    There were also countless branches around the pit but they were too short. However, Wei Xiao Bei also tested the branch's durability and flexibility. They had far exceeded the one that he had been using in the dojo. Perhaps it was an even better material than the most superior spear handle out there.

    However, the pit that was created by the huge foot was at least 20 meters deep. Moreover, the walls of the pit were straight. Wei Xiao Bei was worried that once he jumped in, let alone getting injured, climbing back up would be a difficult thing.

    Moreover, the monsters who smelled the sap were going to increase in numbers.

    It was too dangerous.

    He could easily imagine that once he jumped down, the probability of him surviving was less than 20%.

    If his chances of surviving was 50%, then he would just directly jump down. He would also jump down if the amount of tree sap could directly increase all his attributes to 20.

    However, the tree sap had mostly been soaked in by the soil. Even if Wei Xiao Bei jumped down, the tree sap was not worth the effort.

    The gains and the risks were not equal.

    Eh?

    What is that?

    When Wei Xiao Bei was hesitating to jump down, he had also still been quite cautious and alert. After all, his life was much more important than anything else. He saw that one of the Green Dwarfs was lying down on the ground and licking something.

    As soon as the Green Dwarf saw that Wei Xiao Bei was coming over, it was startled. It did not even care about the thing it was licking and ran away.

    However, in just ten steps, it fell to the ground and spasmed.

    Eh?

    This scene looks familiar?

    Wei Xiao Bei's brain turned. He recalled the time when he was at the laboratory building. When he placed points into his st.u.r.diness attribute, his body also spasmed and his muscles reconstructed. That scene was the same as what he was seeing with the Green Dwarf.

    Wei Xiao Bei then looked at the thing that the Green Dwarf was licking. It was a small puddle of blood, and looked as if it had been half drunk by the Green Dwarf.

    At this moment, the Green Dwarf cried in pain. The muscles in its body continued to expand. In a short amount of time, the Green Dwarf's original knee level height had increased. Its body size also increased as its muscle swelled.

    If the previous Green Dwarf was a 3-4 year old child, then the current one was a 7-8 year old child.

    The Green Dwarf's body that had swelled was filled with bulging muscles. When it opened its eyes, it charged at Wei Xiao Bei. Its former weak expression was replaced with an extreme ferocity.

    Lower the shoulder, drop the elbow, stamp the feet, inhale deeply!

    Wei Xiao Bei reacted in an instant. His entire body lowered, and his right hand formed a fist. He then sent his fist flying with great strength.

    Even if the Green Dwarf had grown stronger, its brain did not become smarter. Seeing Wei Xiao Bei's fist coming, it had not even dodge, only relying on its st.u.r.dy body to resist it. In a flash, Wei Xiao Bei's fist made contact with its chest. Its body flew back, while it spat out blood. the Green Dwarf easily died.

    Wei Xiao Bei looked at his battlelog. He knew that the Green Dwarf had become a 1-Star Elite Creature, Elite Green Dwarf. After it died, it gave Wei Xiao Bei a total of 50 evolution points.

    From this, it was easy to understand that the puddle of blood was not something simple.

    Seeing that there was not much blood left, Wei Xiao Bei hesitated. He had eaten many kinds of things when he was in the army's survival training; earthworms, snakes, sparrows, bugs and many others.

    However, when he thought about drinking the blood that had been licked by the smelly Green Dwarf, he had a psychological barrier.

    Wei Xiao Bei hesitated for a bit. He looked around and saw that the Green Dwarfs were staying away from him, probably due to fear of death.

    Soon Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate anymore and lied on the ground to lick.

    Lick!

    The taste was not that good. Let alone the fishy smell of blood, when Wei Xiao Bei had stuck his tongue on the puddle, his tongue felt hot, as if it was under a flame.

    This should be the blood of the Citizen of Long Bo!

    Wei Xiao Bei already had a slight feelings, and it was confirmed by the flickering Blood of the Citizen of Long Bo in his status panel's items on hand section.

    The only thing that was there before was the fight between the Big Tree Spirit and the Citizen of Long Bo. The Big Tree Spirit's blood was the tree sap that could increase all of his status' with a bitter taste.

    Other than the Big Tree Spirit, there was the Citizen of Long Bo that had been injured by the tree roots.

Chapter 93 - Terror of the Mist Draconic Horse

    While enduring the burning feeling, Wei Xiao Bei licked up the remaining blood, but some of it was still soaked up by the soil.

    Seeing that the blood had been licked as clean as it could, Wei Xiao Bei swallowed all of it down.

    Rumble!

    This sound was not something that came from afar, but it was Wei Xiao Bei's stomach after swallowing the blood. He felt as if his body had turned into an erupting volcano, as if his mind blew up.

    However, the bad feeling did not last long. After a few seconds, he finally came back to his sense.

    Seeing his muscle slightly swell, he was skeptical.

    The effects of the blood ended?

    He shook his head and did not waste time thinking about it. He directly looked at his status panel.

    None of his attributes had increased. The only attribute that increased was his st.u.r.diness, which increased from 12.47 to 13.07.

    It increased by 0.6 points!

    What a strong effect!

    It needed to be known that a drop of the Big Tree Spirit's tree sap would increase all of his attributes by 0.01 points, or an equivalent to 19 evolution points. On the other hand, the blood had increased his st.u.r.diness by 0.6 points, making its effect was better than the tree sap.

    Wei Xiao Bei exercised his arms and legs. He was able to feel that his body was somewhat capable of handling his power now.

    What good stuff!

    Wei Xiao Bei's eyes sparkled and began searching.

    Naturally, even if he could find such a thing, there would not be much left. After all, he only had two eyes, but there were more than a hundred Green Dwarfs out there.

    In the following time, Wei Xiao Bei found more blood puddles, but they had already all been used by the Green Dwarfs. Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei was only noticed it as the Green Dwarfs started to evolve.

    However, Wei Xiao Bei felt that it was still not that bad. Killing an Elite Green Dwarf was still able to merit him 50 evolution points.

    However, when calculated carefully, it was still a loss.

    If Wei Xiao Bei was able to drink all of the blood, his st.u.r.diness would increase by more than 2 points, which was much more than 50 evolution points.

    The amount of Long Bo Citizen's blood was too few at that place. A huge amount had probably been sent flying away by the shock wave from its stomp.

    After killing more than 10 Green Dwarfs and robbing them of the Blood of the Citizen of Long Bo, Wei Xiao Bei's st.u.r.diness increased by 1.8 points.

    He was also glad that killing those Green Dwarfs had given him a total of more than 200 points. Most of the Green Dwarfs had been in their evolved form due to drinking the blood.

    In the next moment, Wei Xiao Bei could only rob the Green Dwarfs of the Big Tree Spirit's tree roots.

    Eh?

    While he was observing the Green Dwarfs around him, Wei Xiao Bei saw one of the Green Dwarfs dragging something away.

    Wei Xiao Bei had been focusing on the Green Dwarfs that would suddenly become happy, so he had slightly neglected the Green Dwarfs that displayed different actions.

    The Green Dwarf's movements were slow and not too obvious. If it was not because the thing it was dragging was long and black, Wei Xiao Bei would have probably missed it.

    Seeing Wei Xiao Bei charge over, the Green Dwarf hesitated for a bit. In the end, it left the thing behind and ran away.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not chase after it and looked at the thing.

    It was a black rod like thing with a length of 4 meters. It was about as thick as an arm and carried a certain gloss.

    Wei Xiao Bei felt that it was slightly familiar, but he still did not know what it is.

    At this moment, he unconsciously saw the fog from the food street coming over. His heart skipped a beat.

    The Mist Draconic Horse is coming back!

    Wei Xiao Bei knew that when the Big Tree Spirit died, the Mist Draconic Horse would definitely come back.

    At this point, he did not hesitate anymore. He extended his hand on the black rod and charged towards Cui Hu University.

    "Neigh!"

    A high horse sound echoed. The mist became a running white horse, and it was headed his way.

    In an instant, most of the Green Dwarfs threw down what they were holding and ran away on their short legs.

    The Mist Draconic Horse was extremely fast. As it ran, it left a trail of mist behind it. It looked like a jet-propelled fighter plane, sweeping across the skies.

    The Green Dwarfs that the Mist Draconic Horse pa.s.sed by became wet from the mist. The mist acted like aqua regia, a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid. When it touched the skin, the skin corroded, causing the Green Dwarfs to roll on the ground in pain.

    However, this kind of struggle was futile. In just a few breath's time, the Green Dwarfs' entire body had corroded, to the point that only their bones were left.

    However, Wei Xiao Bei did not have time to observe the miserable Green Dwarfs. He could only run for his life. Even if his muscles became strained afterwards, he did not care.

    Before Wei Xiao Bei ran to a safe distance, the Mist Draconic Horse pa.s.sed through from his left side and then disappeared into the pit created by the huge foot.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not bother looking back to see what the Mist Draconic Horse was doing. However, when the Mist Draconic Horse pa.s.sed by, the mist followed too.

    Even when Wei Xiao Bei dodged with his all, his left arm had still been moistened a bit.

    "Ah!"

    Wei Xiao Bei could only feel the unbearable pain from his arm. The mist seemed to be alive as it dug deeper into his arm. At the same time, the place where the mist touched, corroded, exposing his red muscles to the air.

    He knew how terrifying the mist was. Even the 3-Star Terror Creature, Big Tree Spirit, had been corroded by the mist.

    Without any hesitation, Wei Xiao Bei rolled on the ground to evade the mist. At the same time, he rubbed his left arm on the ground, attempting to rub of the mist.

    Although the mist had decreased a bit after rubbing a few times, the mist that had seeped into his flesh was not that easily deterred.

    Wei Xiao Bei had no choice but to pull out the knife on his waist and decisively peel off his flesh.

    The knife was extremely sharp. In just one move, the affected parts and the rotting parts of his arm were all peeled off.

    The only problem was that the knife had also been moistened by the mist. Even if it was a knife that had been corroded by the Thunder Worm, its refined material was still easily corroded by the mist's power.

Chapter 94 - Leg Hair of the Citizen of Long Bo?

    However, Wei Xiao Bei was unable to change anything now. He placed the knife inside his backpack and made a mad rush towards Cui Hu University. Only when he hid behind the walls did he let out a sigh of relief.

    The Mist Draconic Horse was too terrifying. Although the Citizen of Long Bo was much more terrifying, it would probably not waste any energy to try and find him with its large body. The Mist Draconic Horse was different. If it just pa.s.sed by, it was already enough to cause a lot of problems.

    White mist rising up from the pit of the giant footprint could be seen even from where he was. Wei Xiao Bei couldn't help but s.h.i.+ver. He dispelled any thoughts remaining of wanting to go back to check it out.

    He would rather check his own bounty. He also took notice that the flesh he had peeled off his arm was gradually staunching. He immediately looked at the black rod like thing that he had acquired with great difficulty.

    What is this anyways?

    When he tried feeling it, a name appeared in the items on hand section of the status panel.

    It was leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo!

    No wonder Wei Xiao Bei felt like he had seen it before. Compared to the countless ten meter long hair on the thick, electric-pole-like leg, it was a lot shorter.

    It's very flexible and very durable!

    Wei Xiao Bei picked up the leg hair and moved it like a great spear. He couldn't help but be filled with happiness.

    The leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo was much better than any broken branch from the Big Tree Spirit.

    Wei Xiao Bei held the arm-thick leg hair at one end and found that it was just the right length and size.

    The expression 'you plant a garden and the flowers do not bloom, you poke a stick in the mud and it grows into a tree' truly matched his current situation.

    The only problematic thing was that the pointed end of the leg hair was too soft so he could not use it as a spear head, and it was also too long. As a result, he needed to find an actual spear head and find a way to decrease its length.

    After thinking for a while, he began making his move. He found a sharp rock from behind the school gate and chose the best position to cut the leg hair.

    Wei Xiao Bei planned to cut off a part of the leg hair, but after 20 minutes of attempting to do so, he gave up. The leg hair was too tough. The sharp rock was not even able to leave a single mark on it.

    Next, Wei Xiao Bei thought of burning off part of the leg hair, so he went to get decomposing wood and started a fire.

    However, his plan had backfired. After being burned under 300-400 degree flame, the leg hair did not burn off. Instead, its l.u.s.ter increased further.

    This had most likely increased the hair's value, but he could only give up on using it now.

    He was temporarily unable to change it into a great spear, but even using it as a rod was also not too bad.

    Wei Xiao Bei suddenly thought of the knife that he had.

    If it was the sharpness of the knife, Wei Xiao Bei had never seen a knife that sharp before.

    Could I use it to cut off the leg hair?

    Wei Xiao Bei retrieved that knife in his backpack. The mist on it had already disappeared, with there had been no harm done to the things inside his backpack.

    However, evidence of corrosion left on the knife was not few. He used the rock to grind it a bit and the corroded parts fell off. The knife suddenly became incomparably reflective to the point that he could see his own face on it.

    This knife seemed to have changed?

    Wei Xiao Bei then noticed that a change happened on his status panel.

Item on hand: White Mist Knife (sharp, slightly corrosive property), Citizen of Long Bo's Leg Hair (tough, flexible)

    It was the first time Wei Xiao Bei had seen this kind of description.

    Without a doubt, the knife in his hands was the White Mist Knife on the description.

    Sharp? Slightly corrosive property? Tough? Flexible?

    Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and picked up a branch. He used the knife to peel it. The knife had instantly shaved it into a smooth plane. Moreover, black marks were left behind on it.

    The black mark was carbon powder. In just one cut, a layer of the branch had started corroding. The strength of the corrosion was not that small at all.

    Soon, Wei Xiao Bei used the White Mist Knife to cut the leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo. The results did not go beyond his expectations. The White Mist Knife was indeed able to leave a mark on the leg hair, but cutting it off would take a long amount of time.

    Moreover, cutting it off would not enough. He also needed to polish the cut off point which would take a lot more time.

    Wei Xiao Bei decided that for the moment, he had to put away this matter. He placed back the White Mist Dagger on his waist and walked towards the laboratory building while dragging the leg hair.

    He did not need to worry about the friction on the leg hair. If the friction was enough to destroy it, Wei Xiao Bei would not have need to take so much time to think of a way to cut it.

    The places Wei Xiao Bei pa.s.sed by were still dusty. The ruined buildings, roads, flower gardens and other places had all acc.u.mulated a thick amount of dust.

    Creak. Crunch. Before he even reached the building, he could already hear the footsteps of the Zombies.

    Without a doubt, this was the sound of the Zombies' footsteps.

    As a result of muscle deterioration, the movements of the Zombies were slow. They could not even raise their feet by more than 15 centimeters, so their footsteps were also very different from a normal person's, creating the sound of friction between their foot and the floor.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not have a decent weapon on hand, so he did not dare simply strut towards them.

    Being surrounded by the Zombies, or being ambushed by Lickers was something that Wei Xiao Bei was not willing to encounter.

    A group of Zombies were wandering around behind the laboratory building. Their numbers were ten times more than the amount that he had seen before he left.

    From his visual estimate, the group of Zombies were at least 500.

    This group of Zombies crowded themselves in a small area, making it seem incredibly jam-packed. It was to the point that the Zombies were knocking on each other and falling tn the ground, taking them a long time before being able to get back up.

    Wei Xiao Bei walked around the perimeter. It was lucky that he did not find any women, men or Lickers around.

    After slightly eliminating his worry, he returned to the entrance of the laboratory building while dragging the leg hair.

    The sound created from dragging the leg hair was not loud, but it was enough to catch the attention of a few Zombies.

    Seeing the Zombies slowly move towards him, Wei Xiao Bei let out a mischievous laughter and swung the four meter long leg hair.

    "Puff! Pop, puff!

    The leg hair was very flexible. As he brandished it, he felt that it was similar to a lengthened qimei stick. With just one swing, five of the Zombies at the very front row fell to the ground.

Chapter 95 - Side Effect of a 20 Point Attribute

    Whoos.h.!.+

    Wei Xiao Bei swung the rod again, and the Zombies fell down again. The scene was like a sickle cutting through wheat.

    After swinging the leg hair a few more times, Wei Xiao Bei felt invigorated. The gloominess from encountering the Citizen of Long Bo and the Mist Draconic Horse had decreased by around 80 percent.

    Azure Dragon Tail Swing, Triple Strike, Winding Spear.   

    Wei Xiao Bei unleashed a series of spear techniques.

    The more Wei Xiao Bei killed, the better he felt. Other than being a bit glossy, the leg hair was really too suitable of an equipment for him. The only thing that was needed was a spear head, so he had no way of killing the Zombies.

    In his excitement, after sending a few more Zombies to the ground, he grabbed both ends of the leg hair and used all of his strength to bend it into a U-shape. He then moved towards 2 two Zombies and loosened his right hand.

    Whoos.h.!.+ The extremely bent leg hair suddenly rebounded and lashed towards the group of the Zombies. The unexpected thing was that it had whipped the zombies in half.

    The amount of Zombies that Wei Xiao Bei sent to the ground was not small. There already were about a hundred of them, but even if the zombies did not have legs or hands, they would still start crawling towards Wei Xiao Bei.

    The leg hair was simply unable to kill them.

    Seeing that more Zombies were moving towards him, Wei Xiao Bei let out a light sigh. He pulled out the White Mist Knife and attacked the Zombies one by one. He would stab them with his White Mist Knife, strongly cut through their skulls, preventing them from staying alive.

    However, this had taken too much time. Before he knew it, Wei Xiao Bei was almost surrounded by the Zombies, but was only able to kill 27 of them.

    He couldn't help but retreat. With a light sigh, he looked at the Zombies that had their arms and legs broken, crawl on the ground. His eyes showed regret. After all, those were 700-800 evolution points.

    Soon, Wei Xiao Bei turned around and left while dragging the leg hair.

    In reality, Wei Xiao Bei could not 'not' escape. At this moment, his mind was slowly becoming more and more muddled.

    After calculating the time, he had been inside the Dust World for more than 4 hours. It was almost time for him to leave the Dust World. Thinking this, Wei Xiao Bei increased his running speed.

    When he arrived at the school gate, he probed the surroundings, and his heart darkened.

    The mist that was previously occupying the footprint had already returned back to blocking the route.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not dare wager his life to check if the Mist Draconic Horse was asleep.

    If the Mist Draconic Horse was asleep, moving ahead was safe, but if it was awake, going over there was suicide.

    Since it was like this, Wei Xiao Bei could only take a detour.

    This detour, however,made him suffer a bit.

    Although he did not run into any monsters, dragging the four meter long leg hair to climb walls and pa.s.s through ruined houses was truly harsh.

    This was especially hard as his dizziness was increasing.

    With great difficulty, he finally returned to his apartment and let out a sigh. However, before he even reached the bedside, he could not endure the dizziness anymore. His vision filled with darkness and he fell on the floor.

    …...

    Time pa.s.sed by bit by bit. Wei Xiao Bei let out a groan as he woke up from losing consciousness.

    Looking at the snow white ceilings, he knew he had returned to reality. 　　

    Wei Xiao Bei propped up his heavy body and bounced up from the ground.

    "Ouch."

    When Wei Xiao Bei stood up, he felt his back ache, so he ma.s.saged his back with his hands.

    It was true that Wei Xiao Bei's health had reached 20 points, but having a back ache after sleeping on the cold hard floor for a long time was not a strange thing.

    The leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo was also on the floor. Wei Xiao Bei did not pay anymore attention to it. He picked up the water pitcher and poured himself a gla.s.s of water. When taking a sip, he felt that it had a strange taste. After thinking about it though, he realised he had not boiled water for a few days now. Boiled water that tasted strange after being left out in the open was not weird. The fact that it was not growing green algae was already good enough.

    After taking another drink, he relieved the dryness in his throat. Wei Xiao Bei lied down on the bed and closed his eyes again while placing his attention on the status panel.

    His visit to the Dust World this time did not lack danger and thrill at all.

    Just seeing the Citizen of Long Bo was enough to scare him half dead. It was, after all, a monster that could not be opposed.

    As for the Mist Draconic Horse, Wei Xiao Bei felt that its threat was even slightly greater.

    As for rewards, it was not just a small amount. Other than the leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo and the White Mist Knife, he had also gained an increase in attributes from eating the tree roots and drinking the Citizen of Long Bo's blood. Moreover, he had also gained a lot of evolution points.

    His evolution points had increased to 592 points.

    Eh?

    Something is wrong?

    Wei Xiao Bei looked at his status panel and noticed that something was wrong with his muscle attribute's growth.

    After reverse calculating it, his muscle attribute had only increased by half the amount compared to the other attributes after eating the tree roots.

    Could it be that after increasing the attribute to 20, it would need twice the evolution points to level up?

    Wei Xiao Bei looked at his muscle attribute carefully.

    He used 2 evolution points, and his muscle attribute increased by 0.01 points.

    So it was like this.

    Wei Xiao Bei was right.

    When an attribute reached 20 points, the necessary amount of evolutions points to increase it would double. This also meant that the effect of items that could increase his attributes would be halved.

    It was good that he had noticed this since he would have probably placed all of his evolution points into st.u.r.diness, trying to make it reach 20 points.   

    However, after noticing this, his choice became a little more prudent.

    Although increasing an attribute to 20 points would give him a special ability, encountering treasures that could directly increase his attributes like the blood of the Citizen of Long Bo, would then become a waste.

    Moreover, his current st.u.r.diness was enough for him. If he increased it further and it triggered a change to his body, it would attract other people's attention.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not want his master and apprentice brothers to notice anything.

    After deeply thinking, he looked at the hand-eye coordination attribute.

Chapter 96 - Catching a Housefly

    Wei Xiao Bei's evolution points quickly decreased and his hand-eye coordination increased.

    9.44, 9.45, 9.46, 9.47…...

    Wei Xiao Bei felt something warm flow into his eyes. It was slightly painful, but he knew that these were the effects of putting in his evolution points. As such, his attention did not go anywhere.

    When his hand-eye coordination reached 12 points, only 334 evolution points remained. Wei Xiao Bei stopped putting in evolution points, opened his eyes and stood up. He looked around his room, then suddenly, he extended his right hand and pinched. A housefly that had just landed on his bedside was quickly grasped between Wei Xiao Bei's fingers.

    The poor housefly was then squeezed to death.

    However, Wei Xiao Bei couldn't help become happy knowing that placing his points into hand-eye coordination had brought him this kind of benefit.

    When he was in the army, he liked to hide behind the shelter and read light novels with a flashlight. As a result, he became a bit short sighted with a bit of astigmatism.

    If he were to give an estimate, he would say that it was at least have a grade of 200.

    However, he was still able to see things, so he did not get a pair.

    However, as soon as his hand-eye coordination reached 12 points, his myopia disappeared. His vision had even became sharper than before. Even when the lighting inside the room was not good, he was still able clearly identify the hairs on the housefly.

    Moreover, his eye movement, hand movement, and the cooperation between them became extremely precise. If it hadn't, he would not have been able to simply catch the housefly.

    The takeoff speed of the housefly was fast. As soon as he had extended his hand, the house fly took off. If he had not clearly seen the direction of where the housefly had taken off, catching the housefly would have only been a dream.

    After this experience, Wei Xiao Bei now, clearly understood that every sub-attribute truly had their benefits.

    Next, Wei Xiao Bei increased his flexibility, reflex, and balance. Raising them all up to 12 points, costing him a total of 304 evolution points and leaving him with 30 evolution points. He did not bother using the final 30 points as it would not have created any huge changes, deciding to save them instead.

    Because these sub-attributes increased to 12 points, his agility also increased to 12 points.

    Wei Xiao Bei moved his arms and legs to feel the changes in his body. He now had a better grasp on his own strength, but it was a pity he was not able to test it out because he was inside the room.

    He removed his tattered clothes and threw them on the bed, changing into a sleeveless s.h.i.+rt and a pair of shorts before he left.

    It was already 8:00 in the evening. When he left the room, he noticed that all the doors along the corridor were closed. The sounds from the thin walls of the rooms could all be heard.

    There were sounds of fake fighting from TV shows, people playing games, and even sounds of flirting.

    Wei Xiao Bei laughed as he walked to the courtyard. If at that moment, he was a 10 year old, he would have probably knocked on all their doors to prank them, but now that stage was only a fleeting memory.

    In reality, when he approached the gate, he had an impulse to just jump over the wall.

    Since he had increased his agility attribute, he was confident that it would have been easy.

    However, it was already too late at night. If he truly did this, people who saw him in the streets would think he was a thief.

    After leaving the courtyard, Wei Xiao Bei ran east.

    As it was already 8:00 in the evening, the amount of cars pa.s.sing by the apartment street had decreased. On the other hand, the amount of people doing night runs had increased thanks to Cui Hu City becoming a major city. As a result, no one would look at Wei Xiao Bei and think there was anything strange.

    A turn at the end of the apartment street lied a residential district. The living conditions at this place was a lot better than the living conditions in the apartment street. This was also the place where people who had achieved a small amount of success in their lives made their homes.

    Further ahead was a farmer's market and Cui Lan Park.

    Inside The Dust World, the residential district, farmer's market, and Cui Lan Park did not exist.

    At the very least, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet seen any signs of them existing.

    Cui Lan Park was a public park.

    Since it was free to enter, there were naturally no ferris wheels, rocket bungees, or anything in that category. The only thing this place provided was a place to train, clean air, and greenery all around.

    Wei Xiao Bei had been here on a walk in the past, so he was quite familiar with the place.

    8:00 in the evening was also the golden time when most of the nearby residents would come out to exercise.

    Entering the place and going forward, you could already see the old and young. Some of them were playing chess, some were jogging, some were even training martial arts, sword arts, and other practices.

    After going a full round of the park, Wei Xiao Bei came to a stop near the rock garden, where there were fewer people.

    Wei Xiao Bei took a huge stride and charged towards one of the rocks. When he was reached to about 5-6 meters away, he suddenly increased his speed and leapt on the rock. After taking three steps, he somersaulted to another rock 3 meters away.

Chapter 97 - Long Tao? Parkour?

    Rocks, trees, fences, benches, anywhere he could find, Wei Xiao Bei did somersaults.

    After a series of these, many people close by had started gathering around.

    "This young man should be part of the of the Beijing opera right? It's as good as watching the Long Taos," a gray haired old man stared wide-eyed and exclaimed with praise.

    Hearing the old man's praise, a senior high school student was not as pleased, "Gramps, you're out! This is not some Long Tao of Beijing opera. This is parkour! It is the most popular and coolest exercise method! If I could do that, how great would it be!"

    Hearing the senior high schooler's voice, young people who had never seen parkour before took out their phones and began taking pictures of Wei Xiao Bei's movements, some even taking videos.

    In short, from their point of view, coming to the park tonight was worth it. Just a picture alone would be more than enough to increase their followers on Weibo.

    Nowadays, anyone could be a newscaster. As long as they found something appealing, interesting, or fun, anyone could become famous and popular.

    As for parkour, Wei Xiao Bei had only previously glanced at it, never truly learning anything about parkour beforehand.

    Parkour was originally an extreme sport that made everyday environments a sports field. People would rely just on their physical capabilities and quick speed to perform various feats.

    This sport did not only train the body, it also trained a person's flexibility and reaction time which was needed in order to minimize the risks.

    According to some studies, people who learned parkour would have 20 times the survival rate of a normal person during fires, earthquakes, attacks, car accidents, etc.

    In reality, Wei Xiao Bei's current movements were not that different from parkour. The only thing different was that he had not tied it to parkour at all.

    Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei was currently using the monkey style of Bajiquan. He borrowed the monkey style's nimbleness, speed, movements, strikes, reaction and other intents.

    After moving around the park a few times, Wei Xiao Bei felt that the people around him was still increasing. How could he still continue? In a flash, he leapt up to the trees using the branches as footholds, and quickly disappeared from everyone's view.

    When he disappeared, the people watching regretfully left, but they did not cause any disturbance.

    Wei Xiao Bei returned to his apartment. He took a bath to clean off the sweat and laid down on his bed to think.

    In his run or so called 'parkour', he had fully used his all.

    It was truly different from his previous self.

    The speed that had decreased due to increasing his muscle and st.u.r.diness, had increased further.

    If it was the previous Wei Xiao Bei who wanted to run around the park and perform somersaults, he would have quickly become a laughing stock

    Whether it was his flexibility, reaction time, balance, or eye strength, everything had increased.

    If Wei Xiao Bei was previously a brown bear, he was now an orangutan that could climb up trees.

    When he was doing parkour in the park before, Wei Xiao Bei had also made a few mistakes. Luckily, he was able to use his strength to make up for it, adjusting his position when needed.

    However, if he wanted to take another step to grasp his strength, he needed to increase the sub-attributes under agility to at least 15 points.

    This was not a small number.

    Wei Xiao Bei sighed. He got up the bed, thinking that now was not yet the time for sleep .

    Moreover, he had just slept. Even if he wanted to sleep again, he was not sleepy at all.

    He picked up the leg hair on the ground, opened the room door, and walked out.

    It was late at night, so even if the neighbors saw what he was holding, it would only create a small problem.

    Wei Xiao Bei was worried that the glossy leg hair that shone under the light would be seen by everyone.

    However, leaving it in the room was not good either.

    After thinking about it, he pressed the thicker end of the leg hair on his waist and used his strength to bend the leg hair around his waist.

    The four meter long leg hair was enough to wrap around his waist a few times, leaving the soft end which was used to tie a knot.

    At first glance, people would only think that Wei Xiao Bei had a big belly, or a hula hoop.

    He returned back inside the apartment and changed the black sleeveless s.h.i.+rt for a jacket, making his best attempt to hide it.

    It was already autumn and cold air was continuously blowing into the city. As a result, wearing a jacket would not be strange.

    After leaving the gate, Wei Xiao Bei patted his belly and smiled with satisfaction.

    Luckily, the leg hair was very flexible; else, it would not have been as convenient to bring it with him.

    When he reached the road, he hailed a cab with an excited expression.

    Once his great spear is finished, bringing it around would also be convenient.

    Wei Xiao Bei got down once he reached the dojo.The doors were closed, but he did not want to disturb his master and senior apprentice brothers with a phone call. He retreated ten steps and then used all his leg strength to stride forward. When he reached the wall, he stepped on it with his left foot and jumped up. His form was like a monkey jumping up, and once he was over the wall, he lightly supported himself and landed like a bird.

    "Who!"

    What he never imagined was that when he had not yet even landed, a familiar voice sounded. Soon a shadow charged over.

    "Third senior apprentice brother, it's me."

    Following Wei Xiao Bei's voice, the shadow stopped. The fist that he was brandis.h.i.+ng had almost hit Wei Xiao Bei's nose.

    "Why didn't you call?" His third senior apprentice brother, Yao Wu, withdrew his fists. He threw away his usual reserved state while fixing his eyes on Wei Xiao Bei's fattened appearance.

    "I was afraid of disturbing your sleep."

    When Wei Xiao Bei answered, two more shadows leapt out from the central hall.

    Yao Wu's question and alertness had startled the master and the big senior apprentice brother who were playing chess. As a result, they both came.

    Seeing Wei Xiao Bei return, Cheng Bi Wu nodded his head, "There are still leftovers in the kitchen. If you are hungry you can heat it up."

    After saying this, Cheng Bi Wu turned around and prepared to continue his match with Liu Jian Cheng. He never imagined that Wei Xiao Bei had brought him a pleasant surprise.

    …...

    "Master, do you know anyone who would be able to make a great spear?"

    Wei Xiao Bei pulled his master and apprentice brothers into the indoor practice ground and awkwardly asked.

    In reality, Wei Xiao Bei did not want to expose the leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo, but other than his master and apprentice brothers, he did not know who to ask for help.

Chapter 98 - Using Leg Hair to Make a Spear

    "Oh?I do know someone, but a newly made spear might not suit you right now. I have a few great spears back home. I'll bring a few back when I return there."

    Cheng Bi Wu thought that Wei Xiao Bei wanted to custom make a spear so he smiled.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not say anything and removed his clothes. The leg hair tied around his waist had attracted Cheng Bi Wu's attention.

    "This is?"

    Without waiting for Cheng Bi Wu to finish speaking, Wei Xiao Bei turned around and gently pulled on the tip of the leg hair. Following after, the binding unravelled, letting out a sound while shooting outwards. Because of the force, it hit against the weapon rack, knocking all the weapons to the ground. Landing on the ground, the hair bounced on the rubber mat a few times before stopping.

    In reality, the scene had almost made Cheng Bi Wu dumbfounded, even thinking that it was an extremely elastic rubber stick.

    However, he knew that Wei Xiao Bei was not the kind of person that loved to play tricks. He moved towards the leg hair and picked it up with his hands.

    As he felt it with his hands, he immediately knew that it was not a rubber stick.

    It was glossy to the touch and extremely elastic. When he used both hands to smash down on it, he found that it was very tough.

    Cheng Bi Wu's eyes couldn't help but s.h.i.+ne. He turned his head and asked, "Is this the material that you prepared for making the spear?"

    Wei Xiao Bei nodded his head and replied, "I picked it up outside."

    He never expected that his master's next words almost made him puke blood, "Can you pick up another?"

    "Only this one," Wei Xiao Bei replied bitterly.

    Master seems to have taken fancy to this leg hair.

    When he thought about it, any martial pract.i.tioner would love to have a good weapon. Even his master was the same.

    Cheng Bi Wu stared at Wei Xiao Bei's eyes. He did not ask anymore. In any case, Wei Xiao Bei had been very mysterious for these last few periods of time, so he did not bother asking any further on this matter.

    "If this was made into a spear, it would without a doubt be better than a spear made from Chinese ash."

    Cheng Bi Wu shook the leg hair a few times before carrying it back into the central hall. Wei Xiao Bei and the others naturally followed after him.

    The back of the central hall was the place where everyone lived. Further inside was a tiny storehouse.

    Cheng Bi Wu let Liu Jian Cheng open the storehouse. Then he opened the lights, and they walked in a single file.

    It was the first time Wei Xiao Bei entered this storehouse, so he was curious about it.

    There were a lot of things inside the storehouse such as, broken equipment, prototype weapons, deformed weapons, wooden sticks, flags, and whatnot.

    It was also easy to see that even Yao Wu, his senior apprentice brother, had only been in there a few times.

    When Wei Xiao Bei thought about it, it wasn't strange. The only reason needed to come in the storehouse would be when equipment breaks.

    Cheng Bi Wu threw the leg hair on a wooden desk and took out a tape measure to measure the leg hair. Then he made Wei Xiao Bei widen his stance to measure Wei Xiao Bei's height, arm, thigh, and many other body parts.

    Afterwards, Cheng Bi Wu stared at the ceiling as if thinking about something.

    n.o.body dared to disturb him, so they also followed suit and stood in a daze.

    Soon, Cheng Bi Wu seemed to have finished calculating something and used a writing brush dipped in yellow ink to draw a draft of the spear head. He also made a few marks on the leg hair.

    "Ehn, this should be correct."

    Cheng Bi Wu nodded his head as he looked at the leg hair. He then placed the leg hair in front of a cutting machine, planning to cut the marked parts. As a safety measure, he let Wei Xiao Bei hold down one end, while his left hand held another end. His right hand then operated the cutting machine and pressed the rotating wheel down the leg hair.

    Yao Wu was sent to make tea, while Liu Jian Cheng was sent to make the spear head using the milling machine..

    Wei Xiao Bei wanted to use the White Mist Knife as the spear head, but its corrosive property was too conspicuous. Moreover, when he saw Cheng Bi Wu draft the spearhead, the length was more than 30cm. The White Mist Knife was shorter so it did not match.

    As a result, Wei Xiao Bei did not say anything anymore.

    Wuwuwuwu. The grinding wheel slowly pressed on the leg hair and immediately let out slos.h.i.+ng sounds.

    The cutting machine was almost thrown off by the leg hair, so Wei Xiao Bei used his all to hold it down.

    After letting the machine cut for a while, Cheng Bi Wu stopped the machine and took a look at the situation.

    Wei Xiao Bei also took a look. After cutting for half an hour, only a white mark was left on the leg hair.

    Cheng Bi Wu couldn't help scratch his head in puzzlement, "Isn't this thing too st.u.r.dy?"

    Seeing his master's puzzlement, Wei Xiao Bei could only smile. In truth, he was much more surprised.

    Although the cutting machine was not a dedicated model used in factories, cutting steel reinforced bars and iron plates was but a trivial matter for it. At the very least, it would only use up one grinding wheel.

    However, the leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo was too startling. After being grinded for half an hour, only a white mark was left.

    Cheng Bi Wu moved his hand on the white mark and rubbed it a bit. He let out a sigh. Luckily, the white mark was rough. This meant that the cutting machine had some effect on it.

    "Master?" Seeing that Cheng Bi Wu did not move for a while, Wei Xiao Bie called out.

    "Nothing. Let us continue."

    Wuwuwuwu. Slish, slish. A strange sound once again broke the silence of the night, attracting the neighbor's protest.

    Yao Wu brought in a few cups of tea and closed the door.

    Although the storehouse was not able to completely block out the sound, it was enough to stop the protest that would otherwise occur.

    Clang!

    After cutting for minutes, a brittle sound was made. The grinding wheel that had already started reddening burst. A large fragment had shot out and stuck itself to the wall.

    "Master, how about changing a method?"

    Wei Xiao Bei was startled by the event.

    "No need," Cheng Bi Wu was not a person who gave up easily. He changed the grinding wheel and the humming resumed.

    Clang! The new grinding wheel broke after using it for a while.

    Cheng Bi Wu rubbed the white mark again. After breaking two grinding wheels, the white mark had become a little deeper. However, if this continued on, even breaking the 5 remaining grinding wheels would not finish the job

    Cheng Bi Wu thought for a moment before taking out two steel containers. On the milky white container, it was written, acetylene. On the yellow container, industry-use oxygen was written.

    After putting on a double end nozzle and opening the valves. Cheng Bi Wu used a lighter, and with a whoosh, a pure white flame came out from the end of the nozzle.

    Cheng Bi Wu adjusted the size of the flame and then placed the flame on the leg hair.

Chapter 99 - Treasure

    Wei Xiao Bei couldn't help becoming tongue-tied speechless. This was an flame with a temperature of 3000 degrees Celsius. He was slightly worried that the leg hair might just ignite and burn to nothing.

    However, the next thing that occurred had made him notice how magical the leg hair truly was.

    The pure white 3000 degree Celsius oxyacetylene flame licked the leg hair.

    However, the leg hair did not burn up at all. It only reddened quickly as if it was a metal rod placed on a stove. The only thing was that if it was a real metal rod it would have already softened at this point.

    "Yao Wu, come to the cutting table," Cheng Bi Wu instructed.

    Then Cheng Bi Wu used the oxyacetylene flame to heat up the leg hair, while Yao Wu operated the cutting machine and pressed down on the grinding wheel.

    The result of this had been a lot better than solely just using the cutting machine.

    After repeating this 30 times, the leg hair was finally cut off.

    The leg was was slightly too glossy, so Cheng Bi Wu took a steel file to file the leg hair while it was still red. This was done to increase friction, allowing it to be easier to wield.

    However, this was not the end. His big senior apprentice brother had also finally finished the spearhead. It was a simple shape without any motifs or design. You could only see a rhombus on all four sides with a concave shape which, when using it on the the enemy, would cause a cross shaped wound that would surely be difficult to heal.

    The inside of the spear head was a screw to make it easier to fasten it to the pole.

    As a result, they needed to drill a screw shape into the leg hair in order to fasten the spearhead.

    Compared to cutting the spearhead, this was a finer task.

    Currently, the spear head was still reddened so it was quickly placed on a screw machine.

    This was also not a task that could be accomplished in one go.

    After trying for more than a hundred times, a screw shape was made.

    Cheng Bi Wu took the spear head and a bit or red yarn and covered the screw with it. Afterwards, the spear head was rotated into the spear pole.

    From just one look, it seemed that the finished product turned out to be a pretty good spear.

    Wei Xiao Bei couldn't help being ecstatic but as he was about to take it, his master suddenly carried the spear and went out the door. Wei Xiao Bei and the others also hurriedly chased after him.

    After seeing a good spear, let alone Cheng Bi Wu, even Liu Jan Cheng and Yao Wu would want to play with it.

    Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

    When they reached the outer practice ground, they borrowed the light of the moon and danced with the spear.

    It was the first time Wei Xiao Bei saw his master use the spear like this. He couldn't help but stop and take a look at the spear techniques.

    There was no other choice but to admire it. Although, compared to Wei Xiao Bei, his master's strength and vitality were below his, his master's spear techniques and fighting techniques were a lot better than his.

    Cheng Bi Wu did the routine for the Six Harmonies Great Spear twice before stopping.

    Next, his master pa.s.sed it onto his big senior apprentice brother to try. Then his big senior apprentice brother pa.s.sed it onto his third senior apprentice brother to try.

    When Wei Xiao Bei had finally impatiently took hold of it, it was already 1:30 in the wee hours of morning.

    "Sleep earlier. No one would steal your spear."

    His master regretfully looked at the spear in Wei Xiao Bei's hands and sighed as he returned to his room.

    Seeing his master leave, and his apprentice brothers also following him back inside, Wei Xiao Bei was still unwilling to return without doing anything, so he tried a few moves.

    When he returned to the room, he was reluctant to let go of the spear even when he needed to take a bath.

    He felt that the spear was easy to use. It made him feel as if it was an extension of his hand.

    After taking a bath, he lied down on the bed while the great spear was erected on his bedside. He looked at his status panel while holding the spear to see if there were any changes.

Items on hand: White Mist Knife (sharp, slightly corrosive property), Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear (tough, flexible, can cause bleeding)

    The leg hair of the Citizen of Long Bo had turned into Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear. There was even the property of causing bleeding.

    Wei Xiao Bei was able to guess that this was caused by the unique shape of the spearhead.

    However, the name Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear was a disgusting sounding name. If the words leg hair were removed, it would've been better.

    However, he was lucky that his big senior apprentice brother's spearhead could still be brought into The Dust World. When he thought about it now, he felt that he as just overthinking it.

    When the spear head and the leg hair turned into a great spear, changes had appeared.

    Wei Xiao Bei was able to understand why this happened thanks to his higher than average intelligence.

    In simpler terms, if a person ate their fill before entering The Dust World, then saying that they were not able to bring that food would be a joke.

    This meant that if an object in reality was influenced by a product of The Dust World, then it would be possible to bring them in.

    Wei Xiao Bei committed this point to memory. He planned to try it the next time he entered The Dust World.

    In the early morning, Wei Xiao Bei woke up early and carried the Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear to the outer practice field.

    After training his spear techniques, his master and the others appeared one after the other.

    Wei Xiao Bei greeted his master and apprentice brother before relaxing.

    His master and apprentice brothers still looked normal for the day.

    However, not soon after, his master asked, "Xiao Bei. Do you still need the excess material after creating the spear?"

    When Wei Xiao Bei heard this, he knew that his master was still hung up about the leg hair and generously spoke, "Master, I don't need it anymore."

    "Good. There is still about 130cm left. If I mix it with stainless steel, it should be possible to made another great spear. Xiao Bei, you should train a bit more. Jian Cheng, Yao Wu, let's go to the storehouse."

    After saying this, his master hurriedly went to the storehouse.

    Looking at his master and senior apprentice brothers going to the storehouse, Wei Xiao Bei lost the mood to continue training.

    As a disciple, he knew that he should help his master when his master was undertaking a task.

    When he entered the store house, everyone became busy.

    They carried the gas containers, operated the cutting machine, created the spear head.

    They were busy until it was lunchtime, and a hot great spear was freshly taken out of the furnace.

    The spear head was no different from the Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear's. Moreover, the leg hair was cut into three parts and fastened together by stainless steel to act as the pole.

    When he tried using it, the feeling from the great spear was too different from the Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear. However, it was much better than the spears inside the dojo.

    The other thing was that when Wei Xiao Bei held the spear and looked at his status panel, no new information appeared.

    He was slightly suspicious. There was no doubt that the status panel did not acknowledge the spear, so it could not be brought into The Dust World.

    What could be the reason for this?

    Even Wei Xiao Bei's improved intelligence could not deduce the reason.

    Could it be that the proportion of leg hair was too low?

    Or is it a random probability?

    No matter what was said, Cheng Bi Wu was very happy. From his viewpoint, the number treasures of the Cheng Clan Dojo had increased.

Chapter 100 - Energy at the Middle of the Branch

    If the great spear was not compared to the Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear, then it was without a doubt a precious spear among all the spears there.

    Leg hair? Leg hair! Leg hair?

    Two days had pa.s.sed. In these two days, Wei Xiao Bei had encountered leg hair in his dreams on both days. There were ones that were thousands of feet long along with short ones. There were even ones that had grown faces.

    Wei Xiao Bei felt that leg hair almost became his greatest nightmare.

    Luckily, he had been training his spear techniques these few days with his master.

    Cheng Bi Wu was already 45 years old. He had been training for 38 years and was now at the peak of his life. His martial arts skills were also approaching the peak.

    Wei Xiao Bei remembered one time when Cheng Bi Wu got drunk. He had proudly said that when he was 26 years old, he had understood .

    Everyone who knew Guo Shu were aware that a person's energy was divided into parts. They were roughly known as positive jing, negative jing, and neutral jing. In rough terms, this was how a person used their body's energy.

    In more accurate words, this was a category of Qi usage.

    Positive jing was a person's strength, which was expressed through their fists and kicks. This was the foundation of a martial artist: using their own energy to attack, and making the amount of force they used to be the same as the force applied.

    As a result, positive jing was also called the energy at the tip of the branch, which means the energy that was released.

    However, a normal person could use 30 percent of their body's potential. If they punched with their fists, they could exert 40 percent of their arm strength, while kicking would exert 50 percent of their leg strength.

    On the other hand, those who have trained their bodies before like soldiers and amateur boxers could use at most 50 percent of their bodies' potential. They were individuals who were able to exert energy on multiple parts of their bodies at the same time, such as using both forces of the waist and legs simultaneously.

    Another step further would be those who could use 80 percent of their bodies. They were people who could combine three different energies on various parts of their bodies at the same time, such as combining the forces of the waist, legs, and fists simultaneously. With such a combination, their fists would be able to make whistling sounds in the air.

    The highest realm of positive jing would be a person who could use their body's full potential. They would not only combine the forces of their legs, waist, and fists but also use special techniques such as Iron Mountain Lean, which utilized the neck and the lower legs.

    After positive jing was negative jing. In terms of Guo Shu, negative jing was also called lowered elbow fighting.

    What did this mean?

    In general, it meant that a person must hide the positive jing in the middle section of their body such as the arms and thighs. In this way, a person would be able to attack and defend during fights. It was different from positive jing which only focused on attacking and not defending.

    As a result, negative jing was also called the energy at the middle section of the branch. However, negative jing did not increase a person's strength. A person's strength still relied on their positive jing.

    If a master of negative jing fought with a master of positive jing, it would without a doubt look like a Taiji expert fighting a muscle- headed brute.

    Finally, there was neutral jing. Neutral jing was called the energy at the root of the branch. It could bring out a person's energy from the root section to the middle section and from the middle section to the tip. In order to master neutral jing, a person must store energy all over the body. It could also be counted as an advanced version of negative jing.

    A person who trained in neutral jing could store energy anywhere in their body and could release the energy at anytime.

    By being able to store and release energy at one's will, birds should not even think of leaving if they landed on the individual's  body. The energy released by the person's body would be able to counteract the force of a bird's upward movement.

    When a person reached this level, even if the opponent hit them, they would be able to easily release energy to counter the incoming punch.

    This entirety was called the great way of martial arts. In truth, when a person reached the level of neutral jing, they would be able to feel the similarities in different martial arts such as Taiji and Bajiquan.

    An example of a martial art that utilizes neutral jing is Zhang Yi 18 drops.

    As a result, this kind of martial arts was only a type of martial arts and could not be considered a realm of martial arts.

    From this, it was easy to tell how bad it was to fight against a master of negative jing.

    Wei Xiao Bei was not able to see the realm his own master was in, but by training with him, he was able to feel a certain level of oppression that prevented him from exerting energy outward.

    Everytime Wei Xiao Bei thrusted his spear, Cheng Bi Wu was able to easily ward off the attack and made a counterattack, forcing Wei Xiao Bei into a tragic state. Even the parts of the body where Wei Xiao Bei focused his energy on was easily seen through by his master.

    Wei Xiao Bei was not an idiot. He knew that this was not only because his master was happy in obtaining the treasure but also because he wanted to train him.

    Wei Xiao Bei's strength that was formed by his muscles and st.u.r.diness gave him a total of 17.5 points.

    This meant that he was already very strong!

    If the possibility of muscle strain was ignored and Wei Xiao Bei used his full strength to the limit, the power in his fists would far surpa.s.s the power of the world heavyweight champion.

    However, he was only able to use positive jing.

    After training for a round, Wei Xiao Bei boldly asked his master this question.

    Cheng Bi Wu spoke without any trace of politeness: "Xiao Bei, your understanding towards Bajiquan has far surpa.s.sed your third brother. Your second brother is also close to being unable to catch up. However, you are only at the middle level of positive jing. This makes you quite far apart from your big brother."

    This was the reality. Wei Xiao Bei also slightly understood this about himself. He was indeed at the level of mastery in Bajiquan, but in reality, the way he used energy was substandard.

    However, sparring with his master in these few days had allowed him to understand ways to use energy more effectively.

    He wouldn't be able to immediately reach a high level in positive jing, but he was able to understand things that he did not understand before.

    Apart from this, Wei Xiao Bei had also searched through the internet and found out what the Citizen of Long Bo that he encountered in the Dust World actually was!

    There were adult Citizens of Long Bo whose heights reached 300 meters.

    The adults of their race were giants.

    The Cla.s.sic of Mountain and Sea had also mentioned them. In ancient times, there was a country called the Country of Long Bo. Every single citizen of the country was an incredibly tall giant. They could walk very far in just a few steps, and their breaths created clouds. Their heads were above the clouds, and the northern seas were their bathtubs.

    One day, a citizen of that country went to the sea to fish, but that person carelessly fished out a giant turtle that supported the five mountains of Immortals. As a result, two of those mountains sunk, leaving countless Immortals homeless.

    The Celestial Emperor was furious after this event and shrunk the amount of land in their country. This had caused the giants to shrink. However, during the era of the legendary Chinese Emperor and the Farmer G.o.d, these giants were taller than 300 meters.

    From this, it was easy to tell that a Citizen of Long Bo was a giant.

    After looking at this information, Wei Xiao Bei was shocked.

    It seems that the Dust World truly had a relation with myths and legends.

    After this, Wei Xiao Bei searched the web everyday for an hour before going to sleep. He used this time to familiarize himself with various myths and legends of China. These works included the Cla.s.sic of Mountain and Sea, Lie Zi, In Search of the Supernatural, Huai Nan Zi, and other Chinese literary works. Every one of them was read by Wei Xiao Bei once.

Chapter 101 - This, This is a Desert?

    Time continued to pa.s.s. After one week, Wei Xiao Bei's master had calmed down from the excitement of obtaining a treasure. Wei Xiao Bei had also gained enough free time to return back to his apartment.

    This time, he entered The Dust World with a completely different mindset from before.

    After waking up, he was just as cautious, but when he touched the great spear bound to his waist, he gained a lot of confidence.

    With the great spear, Wei Xiao Bei's battle power had risen by more than 50 percent!

    Wei Xiao Bei did not plan to go back to the food street, afraid that the Mist Draconic Horse was still there. Moreover, the east of Cui Hu was a dangerous area.

    While standing in the middle of the road, Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and returned back to the courtyard of the apartment building.

    This was not him planning to go back to sleep. He made a detour around the building. When he was at the back he charged towards the wall and jumped over it by stamping his left foot on the wall.

    In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei soared to the sky. He held onto the top of the wall and pushed his body to the other side.

    Without a loud bang, he landed on the other side. He bitterly smiled, his body size was still a bit heavy. Even with his 12 point in agility, it was quite hard to control the sound from his landing.

    Whether it was reality or in The Dust World, this was the first time he was walking in this direction.

    Behind his apartment building was also another apartment building. In reality, most of the buildings around him were all apartment buildings, so their structures were not that different.

    Normally, Wei Xiao Bei would never come to this place to look around.

    He walked around in the apartment building, originally planned to go to the rooftop and scan the surroundings. He never imagined, however, that he was able to find a pleasant surprise in one of the rooms.

    In that room, there were three perfectly preserved boxes of hardtack and twelve bottles of water.

    Wei Xiao Bei, at the moment, was not that worried about his food situation. As long as he did not release electricity, he would not be hungry in The Dust World, but water was essential.

    After moving around a lot, Wei Xiao Bei used up a lot of liquid in his body. A person once said, "Humans can live for seven days without food, but only three days without water.

    Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei also discovered that every time he entered The Dust World, the amount of time he could stay inside slowly increased.

    For this reason, Wei Xiao Bei wasted a bit of time to move the hardtacks and bottles of water back towards his own apartment building. He also placed two strips of hard tack and three bottles of water into his backpack before setting off again.

    From his previous visit, the street on the other side of the wall was very quiet. When he left the courtyard and walked around 20 meters, he discovered a small alley and walked in.

    Arriving at the other end of the alley, Wei Xiao Bei raised his eyes and took a look. All the time, he didn't expect to discover an extremely strange place.

    Near the exit of the alley, it was still ash gray, but looking a little further was a withered and totally split farmland. Around 30 meters from that, the farmland gradually became a desert. Countless sand dunes had turned the entire place into a bright yellow world. In the desert, further into the distance, a fiery red mountain range could faintly be seen.

    What is this?

    Lake Cui and Cui Hu University inside The Dust World was in a completely different location compared to reality. However, there was no such desert inside the entire Cui Hu City.

    If it was a desert, the only place in China where there would be one was in the northwestern part.

    Moreover, having a bright yellow desert inside the ash gray Dust World gave him a certain sense of terror.

    When he thought about it, Wei Xiao Bei slowly walked towards the cracked farmland. He then stood at the edge of the desert, directly facing the heat waves head-on. The heat brought with it an air of dryness that made Wei Xiao Bei's face burn up.

    Ever since he was little unitil now, he had always been in the southwestern part of China. This kind of dry weather was something he had never experienced before.

    It really is a desert!

    Wei Xiao Bei was slightly excited. He bent his waist and grabbed the yellow sand and let it slowly flow down his hands, creating a tiny waterfall.

    After playing with it a few times, he couldn't help but smile.

    I am actually enjoying this children game? Could it be that I'm that childish?

    After shaking his head, he slowly walked towards the desert. Every time his foot landed on the sand, his foot slightly sunk. This made it a lot harder for him to exert energy.

    Wei Xiao Bei was prepared to go and take a look at the fiery red mountain range. A place like that was definitely not a simple place. It should be something like Lake Cui.

    After climbing over a sand dune that was around 8 meters tall, he stood still at the top. He used his feet to rub the sand until his soles were partially buried to steady himself.

    In his field of view, there was a small valley in between the sand dune he was standing on and another sand dune in front of him. In the valley, grains of sand suddenly rose up and moved like an earth dragon, moving in his direction. Although the speed was not fast and at most three meters per second, Wei Xiao Bei was able to sense the incoming danger.

    A faint strange smell pervaded the air. He knew that whatever it was that was coming for him, it was not a good thing.

    Because he was not able to see the monster hiding under the sand, the battlelog had not yet listed any monster.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not evade. He remained concentrated on the moving protrusion while making his legs firm as Mount Tai.

    From another person's point of view, Wei Xiao Bei looked relaxed, but the muscles under his clothes were already tensed up like a leopard hiding in the gra.s.s ready to attack.

    It's here!

    20 meters! 19 meters! 18 meters! ….

    5 meters!

    Kill!

    The protrusion suddenly exploded, sending grains of sand flying in the air. A black figure came out and pounced towards him.

    It was a giant black scorpion!

    It's body's length exceeded a meter and its tail was already shooting towards Wei Xiao Bei's chest. The tip of its tail was a stinger that glowed with a blue light.

    The faint strange smell became thicker by a hundred times!

    "Courting death!"

    At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei actually relaxed his mind. He pulled up his s.h.i.+rt and slapped his waist. In an instant, the Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear that was coiled around his waist sprung up and shot out like a viper.

    As the spear returned to its original shape, it quickly sent the spearhead knocking towards the body of the giant scorpion, directly sending the pouncing giant scorpion flying away.

    "Die!"

    Wei Xiao Bei grabbed the spear in his right hand and leaped towards the scorpion. The great spear easily pierced through the air. The spearhead became a white line that instantly chased after the dazed giant scorpion.

    The spearhead that was 30cm long had instantly pierced through the giant scorpion before it had even landed on the ground.

Chapter 102 - Giant Black Scorpion

    Wei Xiao Bei did not show any mercy at all. He was quite familiar with how to deal with insects.

    Wei Xiao Bei lightly pulled the great spear back and then thrust it again. Without even a single breaths time, three open holes had been left on the scorpion's body. Deep blue liquid flowed out from the holes and when the scorpion landed on the sand, the deep blue liquid immediately splattered out and mixed with it.

    Whoosh.

    Wei Xiao Bei was not done. He took this chance to thoroughly kill the scorpion.

    He once again thrust the great spear, making the spearhead strike against the middle part of its tail, and hit it three times.

    Kacha. The scorpion's tail was not able to endure this great amount of damage, and there sound of its sh.e.l.l cracking,he tail was cut off by the great spear soon after. The giant scorpion that had its tail cut shuddered on the ground, thoroughly losing all will to attack.

    No matter how much vitality the scorpion had, it was not able to endure having the spear pa.s.s through it countless times.

    After a while, the scorpion died giving Wei Xiao Bei 50 evolution points.

Battlelog:

Encountered 1-Star Elite Creature, Giant Black Scorpion

Killed Giant Black Scorpion

Battle ends

    Giant Black Scorpion?

    Luckily, when Wei Xiao Bei searched the web on Chinese myths, he also took a look at foreign myths.

    When he tried to recall it, he was able to remember something about these Giant Black Scorpions.

    In ancient Egypt, there was a scorpion G.o.ddess named Serket.

    In ancient Egyptian mythology, the position of the G.o.ddess was quite high. Many pharaohs had viewed her as a guardian G.o.ddess.

    Scorpion stings lead to paralysis and Serket's name had meant, "she who tightens the throat", however, Serket's name could also be read as meaning, "she who causes the throat to breathe", and so, as well as being seen as stinging the unrighteous, Serket was seen as one who could cure scorpion stings and the effects of other venoms such as snakebites.

    Moreover, the scorpions that this scorpion G.o.ddess commands had black exoskeletons and huge bodies.

    Furthermore, the desert in front of him felt similar to pictures of Egypt he had seen before.

    When he thought about this, he couldn't help let out a bitter smile, not knowing whether his guess was correct or not.

    If this place was truly Egypt, then the topography of The Dust World was more difficult to predict than he thought.

    The only thing was that Wei Xiao Bei did not remember anything about Egypt having a fiery red mountain range.

    No matter what was said, anything could happen in this mysterious Dust World.

    After defeating the Giant Black Scorpion, Wei Xiao Bei became even more careful in his journey. Even his footsteps became lighter. After all, he knew that a scorpion did not rely on its eyes to find prey but their sense of smell.

    Moreover, it was also able to sense the vibrations in the sand caused by its prey's movement. Other than that, it also relied on sound, relying on the sensory hairs on their legs.

    Rustle, rustle, rustle. No matter how much Wei Xiao Bei lightened his footsteps, he was unable to stop the influence of his huge body size which caused more vibrations.

    In reality, even if Wei Xiao Bei was as lithe as a swallow, moving even a little bit of sand was enough to cause sound and vibrations. In the end, he was eventually discovered by a hidden scorpion.

    After pa.s.sing a few sand dunes, Wei Xiao Bei chose to move in between the sand dunes. That way he would not waste as much stamina.

    Rustle, rustle, rustle. The more Wei Xiao Bei walked the more he encountered scorpions.

    When he just pa.s.sed a sand dune, three protrusions appeared on the side of the sand dune and moved towards him.

    Compared to the scorpion he encountered before, the three protrusions were much faster.

    From his visual estimate they were moving at 6 meters per second.

    This kind of speed was roughly around elementary students running a hundred meter dash.

    He took the great spear off his shoulder and dragged it towards the sand dune on the right.

    Perhaps sensing that Wei Xiao Bei wanted to escape, the three protrusions increased their speed.

    However, after moving to in between the dunes, and moving towards the top again, their speeds could not help slow down, reducing their speed to about 3 meters per second.

    In reality, Wei Xiao Bei felt a sense of intellectual superiority after seeing the three protrusions chase after him without giving up.

    No matter how strong the scorpions were, they were still insects.

    If they had come out from the sand and chased after him, their speeds would have been many times faster. However, their innate nature forced them to hid their bodies in order to ambush the enemy. As a result they could only hide in the sand in dejection.

    When Wei Xiao Bei reached the top of the sand dune, he ran to the other side with a slower speed.

    Processing this, the three protrusions also followed suit and followed behind in a diagonal line.

    After chasing and stopping, the three protrusions were now following Wei Xiao Bei in a straight line. Each one of them were separated by quite a distance.

    This should be enough!

    Kill!

    At this point, Wei Xiao Bei smiled. His movements quickened once more, breaking into a stride. He combined the force in his leg, waist, and arm to leap up.

    Sudden Thrust!   

    The three meter long great spear was a like a black line as it instantly pierced towards the protrusion five meters behind him.

    Following the thrust, the protrusion immediately sprayed out black liquid.

    Raise!

    Wei Xiao Bei raised the great spear upwards.

    Dig!

    With a whoosh, sand spread all over the place. When the spear head shot out, it brought with it the Giant Black Scorpion, sending it flying out the sand.

    Break!

    Wei Xiao Bei shook his hands, creating vibrations with the pole. The Giant Black Scorpion that was pierced by the the great spear had its back break open. Its body was also split in half as it flew through the air.

    Although there was still movement in its legs as it struggle, with half of its body gone, the Giant Black Scorpion was toast.

    Wei Xiao Bei became happy seeing this scene.

    He felt that his martial skill had once again improved.

    If it was the previous Wei Xiao Bei who did the break, he could at most send the scorpion flying away from the spearhead. He would never have been able to split it in half if it were the past him.

    If he was at the middle layer of positive jing before, he was now at the upper middle layer. He was not able to release all of his body's energy, but he was able to release at least 80 percent.

    The most happiest thing was that his spear techniques had grown again.

    Wei Xiao Bei took this time to look at his status panel.

    There were changes just a he expected. Although his Bajiquan remained at mastery level, the color had become darker.

Chapter 103 - Great Increase in Evolution Points

    Here it comes!

    The other two scorpions had also reached the top of the sand dune. They were not slow at all. After Wei Xiao Bei killed the first scorpion, the two scorpions also pounced out the sand. One was on the left and the other on the right, flanking Wei Xiao Bei.

    Facing the flank of the two scorpions, Wei Xiao Bei was not as relaxed as he was when dealing with the previous one.

    In close quarters, Wei Xiao Bei would originally not be afraid to fight against six scorpions head on.

    However, if he was stung once by their stingers, he would bet that he would fall in an instant.

    Wei Xiao Bei had encountered a scorpion before and experience it.

    Let alone a desert scorpion, just a normal scorpion was already bad enough. If a person was stung, the pain it would cause was unbearable, and a glistening lump would form on the skin in an instant.

    Desert scorpions on the other hand could kill people with their stingers. As for these Giant Black Scorpions, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare use his own body as an experiment.

    Even without thinking, that kind of action was akin to suicide!

    Even a big African elephant would die in just one sting from a viper.

    As a result, he did not recklessly fight against them. The great spear in his hand moved to  block the incoming scorpions.

    In this exchange, a normal person would have probably become dizzy from being swung away by the great spear..

    However, the Giant Black Scorpions were different from a normal person.

    When one of the scorpions were flung back and its face planted into the sand, and there was no effect at all. It turned around and once again begin their charge. The other scorpion landed on its back and carelessly had its tail buried in the sand, so it was currently struggling to get free.

    This is fine I guess.

    The reason why Wei Xiao Bei blocked them back was to create a time difference between the two. Defending against two scorpions at the same time was very difficult.

    This was the difference between these insect's intelligence and a human's. If a human encountered a strong enemy, they would find comrades to work together with and fight together.

    Even if the scorpion charged over from within the sand, their speed was still not fast, but their stingers were very fast!

    When approaching an enemy, they were able to instantly inject their poison as soon as the stinger hit the body!

    Wei Xiao Bei operated his great spear like a dragon. In an instant, the great spear entered the approaching scorpion's mouth. By slightly bending the pole, the great spear entered even deeper, making a strange sound come from the scorpion. Half of the spear had burrowed itself within the scorpion, releasing black liquid to flow out from its mouth.

    Most creatures would have already died in an instant if they had been through by the mouth.

    However, the Giant Black Scorpion was different. Even if the spear had been half buried through their bodies, and even through their tails, they would still remain fierce. The more than 70cm long tail moved like lightning as it tried to sting Wei Xiao Bei.

    However, Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate. The great spear was 3 meters long. If the scorpion wanted to sting Wei Xiao Bei, it needed to have its tail extend by at least 2 times before it would able to reach him.

    At this time, the other scorpion finally got out. It moved on the sand and charged towards Wei Xiao Bei. Its erected tail slowly swayed, preparing to deal a fatal injury on him.

    Wei Xiao Bei smiled, exerted force into his hands and shouted. Bending the spear, he sent the scorpion on the spear through the air, resulting in its entire body smas.h.i.+ng against the other scorpion.

    Bang!

    A heavy sound echoed. The scorpion was smashed to the point that it was half buried in the sand and its erect tail was no more, being instantly snapped off.

    The Giant Black Scorpion had a high vitality, and it was on full display at this time.

    Whether it was the scorpion on the great spear or the half buried scorpion, their carapaces were both shattered, and their body fluids were splattered everywhere.

    If it was a different animal, they would have already stopped breathing, but the Giant Black Scorpions were still struggling.

    Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei did not give them the chance to continue living.

    He waved his great spear again and smashed downwards!

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    After three hits, the Giant Black Scorpions had been smashed into meat paste.

    After they died, Wei Xiao Bie obtained 100 evolution points!

    Hu!

    Wei Xiao Bei gently exhaled.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not look down on these three scorpions at all. Although a scorpion only gave 50 evolution points, their stingers were a lot stronger compared to the Fishmen Guards. Moreover, the temperature of the sand was about 40 degrees, sucking up his stamina.

    Wei Xiao Bei rested on one side of the sand dune. He drank two mouthful of water before raising his spear and continued walking.

    On his way to the mountains, he continuously encountered these scorpions.There were solo ones, ones in pairs, and even in threes like before.

    However, insects were still insects in the end. Their intelligence was even inferior to normal Fishmen.

    Every single scorpion Wei Xiao Bei encountered had employed the same ambush tactic against him.

    Wei Xiao Bei, very quickly, had gained enough experience fighting these scorpions, and as a result, he was able to deal with them easily.

    …...

    Puchi!

    Wei Xiao Bei leapt in the air. His great spear pointed towards a Giant Black Scorpion. In an instant, the sharp spear head stabbed towards the scorpions back sh.e.l.l. Then with a shake, the great spear shook the sh.e.l.l into pieces. Even its internal organs were shaken into a meat sauce.

    Although he was no longer in the blazing sun, a dusky light cutting through the air had replaced.

    However, the temperature here was still close to extreme heat, making Wei Xiao Bei who fought battle after battle, drenched with sweat.

    Wei Xiao Bei wiped his forehead, and then pierced the spear head that was covered in blood and flesh into the sand a few times to rub it clean.

    The fiery red mountain range that seemed to be 5-6 kilometers away now looked a lot larger and closer.

    Wei Xiao Bei looked at his status panel. His evolution points had increased by 400 making him very happy.

    After familiarizing himself on how to fight against these scorpions, the scorpions were only free evolution points to Wei Xiao Bei.

    Wei Xiao Bei's evolution points had altogether, reached 630 points. 600 of the points  solely came from just killing the Giant Black Scorpions.

    After thinking for a while, Wei Xiao Bei temporarily gave up on allocating the points.

    By looking at his status panel, it was easy to tell that his agility was on the low side, making his movements a bit clumsy. However, he felt that at the moment, it was still good enough.

    If he was truly thinking about allocating the points, he was strongly leaning towards putting them all into Bajiquan.
