Wei Xiao Bei was simply unable to block this attack at all.

No matter what he did to defend, Zhao Yun would be able to easily find a hole in his defense and win.

As for attacking, Wei Xiao Bei did not get the chance to attack even once.

It’s as Zhao Yun had said, if one wishes to attack, one must take a beating first.

After being oppressed the entire afternoon by Zhao Yun, Wei Xiao Bei’s entire body was aching. Even his skin was slightly purplish, and he felt his skull have a few cracks in it.

Although Zhao Yun did not make any fatal moves, his attacks were still at the very limit of Wei Xiao Bei’s endurance.

His control over his strength was very precise. Just a bit more and Wei Xiao Bei’s flesh would blow up, and his bones would crack. If it was any weaker then there would probably be no effect at all.

In short, Wei Xiao Bei was resting on the ground, taking a short break to recover.

Being able to beat Wei Xiao Bei to the point of being almost unable to recover goes to show how powerful Zhao Yun’s spear techniques were.

“Uncle, it’s time for dinner.”

Zhao Guang had now become Wei Xiao Bei’s shadow. Wei Xiao Bei could not even drive him away as Zhao Yun had ordered him to follow him, becoming his attendant.

“Oh.”

Wei Xiao Bei grinned and struggled to get up. Zhao Guang immediately went forward to support him.

Wei Xiao Bei did not resist as he had no energy to do so.

After eating dinner, Wei Xiao Bei recovered a bit of strength and thought about the Bi Fang blood in his storage bag.

The best benefit he could get from it was to raise his [Flame Resistance].

Perhaps because the Bi Fang was too strong, the Bi Fang heart blood that Wei Xiao Bei collected could be used once, while the normal Bi Fang’s blood could be used three times.

Wei Xiao Bei planned to first try out the normal blood to test the effects.

After all, compared to the Scarlet Pheasant and other fire-based creature’s blood, the Bi Fang’s blood was a lot more powerful.

A portion of Bi Fang blood was around the size of a washbowl. Moreover, the blood to flesh ratio of the Bi Fang was originally small. If a Bi Fang was intact, the amount of blood that could be gained from it should be around ten washbowls worth.

The Bi Fang’s blood would ignite when it touched the air. Thus, Wei Xiao Bei raised the storage bag above his head. And with a thought, the red Bi Fang blood immediately poured out from the storage bag, drenching him from the head down.

Boom!

After touching the air, the Bi Fang blood ignited, causing Wei Xiao Bei to feel an irresistible burning sensation that burned his face and skin, making him groan in pain.

Enduring the burning pain, Wei Xiao Bei still needed to pour the blood all over his body. Otherwise, he would not be able to absorb the blood and gain a level up in his [Flame Resistance].

It could be said that the Bi Fang blood was a treasure that normal people could not use.

Even Wei Xiao Bei had started burning alive from the blood.

Although Wei Xiao Bei had an elementary level in [Flame Resistance], he could only resist temperatures below 500 degrees and resist damage by half. For more than 500 degrees, he could defend a third of the damage.

On the other hand, the Bi Fang’s blood was naturally above 500 degrees, thus every place ignited by the flames had been burnt black.

Whether it was the skin blocking it or the meat under the skin, both were giving off the fragrance of meat.

If it was only just the pain, it was still fine as Wei Xiao Bei’s powerful recovery was continuously activated.

The burnt meat would quickly break down and regenerate.

The burning pain caused by the flames and the numbing feeling caused by the regeneration were both easy to imagine.

Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei was used to the pain as he grits his teeth and persevered.

However, the lasting nature of the burning blood had exceeded Wei Xiao Bei’s expectation.

After five minutes, the flames were still burning, and his recovery could almost not catch up. Even his internal organs were being influenced by the high temperature.

For this reason, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but drink ten drops of Secondary Spring Water of Youth, borrowing its power to resist the damage from the high temperature.

In the end, Wei Xiao Bei had been burned dirty but the flames had been extinguished.

As the flames extinguished, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed and ignored the remaining pain in his body. He allowed his body to automatically recover as he looked at his status panel.

Flame Resistance (Intermediate): Host resists 90% of damage from flames under 300 degrees Celcius. Host resists half the damage from flames under 900 degrees Celcius. Host resists a third of the damage from flames above 900 degrees Celcius. To level up this skill, the host needs to bathe in the blood of monsters with a higher rank.

Flame resistance increased.

Looking at the description of the special skill, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed.

The pain he endured had not been wasted.

Compared to the elementary level, the effects of the [Flame Resistance] hugely increased.

A ninety percent damage reduction from flames under 300 degrees was simply the perfect immunity with his current powerful body.

On the other hand, damage from flames under 900 degrees Celcius would be halved.

It must be said that leveling up [Flame Resistance] was very painful.

After he had recovered, he did not continue.

Instead, he rode on the horse and went back to ask for martial arts guidance from Zhao Yun.

Although Wei Xiao Bei would receive a beating every time he went to find Zhao Yun, he was surprised to find out that his spear techniques had been improving, moreover, his cosmic jing had gradually become more proficient to the point that he could use his cosmic jing to block one or two attacks from Zhao Yun, stopping him from falling off the horse.

However, he also knew that Zhao Yun had lowered his strength to an unimaginable degree. On the other hand, whenever he would display a bit of qi, Zhao Yun would increase his strength and happily beat him up again.

Wei Xiao Bei had stayed in the valley for around three days already.

On the third day, he felt that he had gained a lot to the point that he could not imagine it. He could now spar properly with Zhao Yun and receive his guidance. It was simply like a meat pie falling from the sky.

However, the valley was not always peaceful. On the second day, a scout had reported sightings of a large group of Fire Crows.

According to Zhao Guang, this was very normal.

As Zhao Yun’s sworn brother, Wei Xiao Bei would naturally not watch with folded arms.

Zhao Yun was also not modest and placed Wei Xiao Bei and Zhao Guang into a hundred man army.

This hundred man army was one of the groups that protected the stone fort.

Far away from the fort, a large red cloud covered the sky and continuously advanced.

When Wei Xiao Bei used [Eagle Eye], he noticed that the red cloud was a large group of Fire Crows. Roughly counting them, they were at least thirty thousand strong!

These Fire Crows were 2-Star Elite Creatures. Although their flesh was weak, they had an innate advantage compared to other monsters, and that was the flames surrounding them.

When the tens of thousands of Fire Crows converged and flew toward the mouth of the valley, Wei Xiao Bei was so shocked that he silently gulped his saliva.

“Catapults attack!” When the Fire Crows started descending, Zhao Yun who was leading the army inside the stone fort laid down his command.

Afterward, the catapults launched piles of stones in the air, shooting towards and penetrating the Fire Crows.

Compared to hard stones, the physical bodies of the Fire Crows were weak. As long as they were hit by stones, the Fire Crows would explode into flames.

After two volleys of the catapults, the Fire Crows had been reduced by a lot, with more than four thousand Fire Crows exploded after being hit by the stones.

“Bows attack!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The thick arrows fired at the Fire Crows. Every single arrow was able to kill around ten of them.

However, the Fire Crows immediately spread out to decrease their density, causing the effectiveness of the bows to decrease.

Next, the crossbows were fired, causing the Fire Crows within a thousand meters to drop like rain.

When the Fire Crows were finally three hundred meters away, the soldiers would fire repeating crossbows at them to exterminate them.

After the Fire Crows received the attacks of the repeating crossbow, the Fire Crows had been reduced to around fifteen thousand.

At this moment, the officers of the army jumped out to attack the Fire Crows.

Their main goal at the moment was to attract the Fire Crows’ attention to let the soldiers reload the repeating crossbows to begin another attack.

After all, these monsters were not strong, but they were so numerous that the repeating crossbows were the best weapons against them.

Wei Xiao Bei naturally jumped out as well.

This time was the time for free display. As long as he could attract the Fire Crows and prevent them from going toward the fort, anything could be done.

Seeing the people charging out to meet them, the Fire Crows became excited and let out high-pitched screeches. One by one, they began to dive toward the ground to embarrass these people.

On the other hand, the officers were also displaying supreme feats.

Some held bows and fired while running without missing a single Fire Crow.

Some held twenty-meter long morning stars and swung them in a circle toward the Fire Crows.

Naturally, the majority of the officers held long-reaching weapons such as great spears or pikes. They charged into the Fire Crows and began killing them to attract their hatred.

Wei Xiao Bei was also the same. He raised his great spear and swept it across the Fire Crows.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei saw that his evolution points had increased by 400 points!
