Chapter 189 - Journey of the Bai Ta County in the Dust World
Wei Xiao Bei's judgement was never wrong. He would not be weaker than the Giant Boar!
If Wei Xiao Bei went all out, he may be able to kill the boar, but it was difficult to say that only one side would lose.
Was it worth it to face this kind of danger while chasing after Zhu Yi Duo? This is worth considering.
Wei Xiao Bei hesitated.
However, before he came to a conclusion, something unexpected happened that made him need not think about the Giant Boar anymore.
The Giant Boar stood up from the lake, making Wei Xiao Bei think that he had been noticed.
However, what he never imagined was that the water in the river bubbled up almost like boiling water in a pot. In an instant, huge waves formed and struck at the Giant Boar.
Boom!
The Giant Boar was not able to evade it at all and got smashed by the huge waves. Its mouth spat out blood, seeming to have received a heavy injury.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei had already quietly hid himself behind a giant rock. He only poked out his head to observe the scene.
In less than a second, a giant snake head appeared from the bubbling river water and pounced towards the Giant Boar.
The Giant Boar did not have any more strength to fight back and got dragged into the river by the giant snake, disappearing with it.
When the bubbling water eventually calmed down, Wei Xiao Bei finally came to his senses.
It was unknown how long the snake was, but its head was already several times bigger than the Giant Boar. It was easy to imagine long it was actually.
Although it was smaller than the young Fire Dragon or the Citizen of Long Bo, Wei Xiao Bei would not dare hold it in contempt.
According to the battle log, the Giant Boar was a 2-Star Terror Creature, but it was swallowed down in one bite without any chance of retaliating. How could this not let Wei Xiao Bei increase his vigilance.
This place was truly different just as Zhu Yi Duo said.
He did not know about other places, but in The Dust World's Cui Hu City, encountering such monsters was much more rare.
He felt that it was more common in a place like this.
After waiting for a while, Wei Xiao Bei guessed that the Giant Snake looked down upon such small food like him. Thus he summoned his courage and ran as far as possible from there, going along the river.
Who knew if Wei Xiao Bei's guess was correct or not, but the Giant Snake did not appear again.
Wei Xiao Bei was slightly puzzled over the Giant Snake. The river was small with a width of 5 meters. How could such a huge snake exist in there.
He knew that if he did not have the courage to jump into the lake and explore, he would never know the answer to this.
Naturally, he did not have any plans of committing suicide. As a result, he did not continue to think about the Giant Snake. In the Dust World, anything could happen, just like how earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, etc. could happen in the real world. If he kept worrying about this kind of thing, there would be no way of living properly.
Wei Xiao Bei had thought that nothing would happen anymore and he would be able to easily reach Zhu Yi Duo, but reality was cruel. Perhaps because his luck was bad today, he encountered another unexpected incident after continuing on for two kilometers.
While he was thinking, he had carelessly approached closer to the forest besides the river.
In reality, there was already not that many trees in his location. There were only about ten more trees and none further ahead.
In this way, Wei Xiao Bei had carelessly entered the range of the forest. Moreover, his foot had actually hit a protruding root.
In reality, when Wei Xiao Bei saw the root again, he already knew that the roots would come out and attack him.
At this time, he missed his machete, but it was not with him. Wei Xiao Bei would never have considered the possibility that he would need it. He immediately jumped up and dodged the incoming root. Then he waved his hand and caught the roots in his hands. He suddenly let out his strength and pulled on it, causing the part that was hidden underground to burst out from the ground.
Wei Xiao Bei's sudden display of strength was not small. In an instant, the tree root reached towards a dead tree.
The dead tree did not make any movements, as if the root did not come from it.
However, Wei Xiao Bei was not deceived by its dead appearance.
The dead tree's status immediately appeared in his head when he used [Status Appraisal].
The withered tree was called a Monster Tree, it was of the Tree Spirit race. Compared to its 2-Star Elite Creature Tree Spirit, it was only a 1-Star Elite Creature. Its status was also a lot worse. The only special about it was its [Root Bind] skill.
When Wei Xiao Bei looked at its status, it finally moved. More than 10 roots came out from the ground and threw themselves at Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei pulled out his White Mist Dagger with his right hand while pulling the tree root with his left. Then he immediately jumped towards the Monster Tree, dodging all the roots.
Kill!
Towards monsters in the Dust World, Wei Xiao Bei would never take mercy on them. When he landed a few meters from the Monster Tree, he charged forward and fiercely pierced its trunk with his knife.
The Monster Tree was truly weaker than the Tree Spirit. It was also dumber by quite a bit.
At first, it did not move to deceive Wei Xiao Bei. Then when all of its roots came out from the ground, it did not even think of running away. Only when the White Mist Knife pierced its trunk did it begin to struggle. The trunk lightly swayed, attempting to pull itself out of the ground.
More roots came out from the ground and attempted to bind Wei Xiao Bei.
For Tree Spirit type creatures, being able to bind their opponent would give them a big advantage, but not being able to do so was their end.
Wei Xiao Bei moved like lightning and sliced at the Monster Tree and its roots without stopping. In a few breath's time, there were more than ten cuts on the trunk!
The speed was so fast that even his figure had almost disappeared.
Everywhere that the White Mist Dagger pierced caused the tree to let out a clear sap. The more the sap flowed, the slower its roots moved. With another cut, Wei Xiao Bei had linked up all the cuts, creating a hole.
Wei Xiao Bei immediately leapt up and punched the tree trunk, causing popping sounds to ring out.
Three Emperor Canon Fist, Bear Form!
Crack!
The tree trunk snapped, causing green liquid to spray out from the part that broke off. The roots that were moving all around seemed to have lost their life and dropped to the ground without any signs of moving.
Wei Xiao Bei immediately moved the White Mist Dagger into the green liquid.
He had already understood that the White Mist Dagger needed to be soaked in monster fluids to evolve. Everytime it was soaked, its evolution degree would increase.
The Monster Tree was a 1-Star Elite Creature, so its fluids did not have much impact.
It truly was not much since Wei Xiao Bei had only obtained 50 evolution points.
Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei cut it up.
The only useful thing he had obtained from the Monster Tree was its roots.
The Monster Tree's roots were tough and flexible. Wei Xiao Bei prepared to gather more and make ropes or bow strings.
Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei was not able to bring his bag this time, so it was better to collect other things.
Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei's gaze landed on the other Monster Trees.
Just as previously said, the Monster Trees had bad heads, or it could be said that they had no brains at all.
They did not move even after seeing one of them die by Wei Xiao Bei's hands, as if they had not noticed anything.
This gave Wei Xiao Bei a chance to kill them one by one.
Although they were 1-Star Elite Creatures, they were only prey in Wei Xiao Bei's hands.
But, if the amount of Monster Trees increased, the situation would be different.
If more than 10 Monster Trees attacked at the same time, it was more than 100 roots attacking at the same time. A small amount of inattentiveness would allow them to catch him. Although they could be thrown off, it would slow down his movements, and the trees roots would all come at once. Even Wei Xiao Bei with all his strength would be bound into a ball by them.
Wei Xiao Bei did not doubt this result at all.
Pow, pop!
Under Wei Xiao Bei's attack, the Monster Trees died one after the other. The White Mist Dagger was continuously bathed in their sap, causing changes to the cyan fog on it. The fog had turned green but also became thicker.
When Wei Xiao Bei stopped, he had killed more than 15 Monster Trees, gaining 750 evolution points and a big bundle of tree roots.
Wei Xiao Bei was a bit interested in continuing this, since the evolution points they provided was not bad at all.
