The City of Terror

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Compared to Wei Xiao Bei’s [Eagle Eye], the High-Temperature Bird’s vision was a bit lacking, but it was just enough.

What surprised him was the origin of the quake. It had come from three Flaming Giants that were fighting with two Giant Wolves.

Flame Giants?

Wei Xiao Bei was quite familiar with famous Norse creatures.

In Norse Mythology, there were two types of giants that were the enemies of the gods. One was the Flame Giants and the other was the Frost Giants. They had both given the gods a headache. In the end, they had built a high wall to block the two from attacking.

Naturally, these Flame Giants were not the same as those in Norse Mythology and were probably their descendants, just like the Frost Giants.

However, in Norse Mythology, whether it was the Flame Giants or the Giant Wolves, their ancestors should be comrades. Their ancestors faced the gods and eliminated them in the end.

Now, perhaps due to survival, or perhaps due to strength, the two sides were fighting desperately.

Just looking at the five wolf corpses and the singular Flame Giant corpse on the ground showed how fierce they were fighting.

The Flame Giants that were more than eight meters tall were creating balls of flames on their hands as they smashed down on the Giant Wolves. On the other hand, the two wolves had already activated their [Madness] skill as they attacked the most heavily injured of the three giants.

Wei Xiao Bei looked at the battle situation and secretly approached. He inspected the scars on the ground and activated [Deductive Reasoning], allowing him to understood what had happened before the fight.

Initially, the Giant Wolves were in pursuit of a reindeer, but they had been ambushed by the Flame Giants. Their losses were disastrous but they had successfully killed off one Flame Giant.

In the current situation, the Giant Wolves were in a severely disadvantageous situation.

The three Flame Giants tried to distance themselves from the wolves as they protected each other. As long as the effect of [Madness] runs out, the wolves would be finished.

Taking the chance that the three Giants were not paying attention to him, Wei Xiao Bei threw in a [Status Appraisal] at one of the giants, causing the information to flow into his mind.

Name: Flame Giant.

Evolution Points: X (Unable to accumulate evolution points)

Items on Hand: None

3-Star Terror Creature! Just the creature rank alone was enough to suppress the Giant Wolves.

It must be known that the Giant Wolves were only normal 3-Star Creatures. Even if they had activated [Madness], they were only 3-Star Elite at most.

In other words, the Giant Wolves were already fighting as if their lives depended on it.

As the [Status Appraisal] hit the Flame Giant, it immediately turned around and looked at the tree that Wei Xiao Bei was hiding in.

Only then was Wei Xiao Bei able to carefully see its appearance.

It was a bit different from what Wei Xiao Bei had imagined it would look like. The Flame Giant was not a giant made up of lava.

It was still made up of flesh. Its skin was burning red and it had even grown burning red long hair. It appeared as if its head was on fire.

Whoosh!

The Flame Giant grabbed the air and a ball of flame immediately appeared in its palm and threw it toward Wei Xiao Bei.

The speed of the ball was very fast. Although Wei Xiao Bei could dodge it, he wanted to see how powerful the flames were, thus he did not dodge and charged at it.

In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei knocked against the flames, causing a loud boom. The flames exploded and wrapped around him.

Wei Xiao Bei only felt heat wrapping his body, but then he felt the high temperature and pain from his skin.

Luckily, the temperature did not exceed 1500 degrees Celcius. Wei Xiao Bei could easily feel that the flames touching his body had decreased by half.

It was probably only around 1000 degrees Celcius!

Naturally, 1000 degrees Celcius was enough to instantly ignite his clothes.

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not panic. He immediately circulated his qi, causing a layer of cosmic qi to be generated out of his body and suppress the flames.

This was one of the benefits of reaching the realm of cosmic jing, he could generate a layer of cosmic qi to protect himself.

The cosmic qi can decrease a good deal of damage. Flames that are not linked to anything like the flames that the Flame Giant threw did not amount to much. No matter how high the temperature was, it was extinguishable and did not have much of an effect.

As for the burn on his skin, it was quickly healed with just his powerful recovery ability. The only thing was that his clothes had been burnt. His face had also been burnt black as if he had just escaped from a black kiln.

These were small problems.

However, in the next moment, the three Flame Giants changed their target to Wei Xiao Bei as they threw fireballs at him.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei did not take on their attack anymore. He extended his hand as the White Mist Divine Great Spear appeared. With a thrust and a pick, he deflected one of the fast incoming fireballs away toward another giant.

The Flame Giant was not worried about the fireball that had been deflected back at all. It extended its hand, caught the fireball, and once again threw it toward Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei planned to attract the three Flame Giants and let the two Giant Wolves kill one of the flame giants.

However, Wei Xiao Bei never imagined that when he had attracted the Flame Giant’s attention, the two Giant Wolves had quietly drawn back, appearing to be about to slink away.

Soon, the two wolves vanished into thin air.

Camouflage!

This was one of the special skills of the Giant Wolf. After stopping for five seconds, their bodies would disappear.

Because the White Mist Divine Great Spear had absorbed a lot of Giant Wolf’s energy, it had also gained this ability.

The two wolves were truly good comrades!

Naturally, perhaps they wanted to wait for Wei Xiao Bei and the Flame Giants to have both sides suffer before picking off the remains.

In short, the wolves were not doing this out of kindness.

For the wolves that had a predatory behavior, this was their way of survival, but Wei Xiao Bei was placed into a bad mood.

Since you are going to be like that, then don’t blame me!

In any case, the Life Altar needed large amounts of flesh!

Although the two wolves had already become invisible, they couldn’t hide from Wei Xiao Bei’s [Response Search].

After confirming the locations of the two hidden wolves, Wei Xiao Bei charged toward one of the Flame Giants.

He lightly picked at the flames that were thrown at him. This time he did not send it back, instead, he deflected it toward the wolves.

Once the flames landed, the two wolves stopped hiding as they could not help but reappear.

“Die!”

When Wei Xiao Bei went all out, even the Flying Divine Monster Spear could not hold out, let alone the Flame Giants.

In the blink of an eye, the Flame Giant’s left arm was pierced by the great spear. Lighting immediately surged through the spear and white mist came out at the same time. In an instant, the Flame Giant curled from the electric current. It was not electrocuted to death, but its dodging speed had been inhibited. At the same time, the white mist began to corrode its body.

In just a few moments, the giant’s left arm was crippled, decreasing its fighting ability a lot.

However, it was still a 3-Star Terror Creature. Even if one arm was crippled, it crawled back up with the protection of the other two Flame Giants, dodging Wei Xiao Bei’s fatal strikes.

While pursuing the Flame Giant, Wei Xiao Bei could feel that he was on the verge of grasping something within him, but it suddenly disappeared.

Wei Xiao Bei knew that it was the feeling of being about to breakthrough from 3-Star to 4-Star.

However, his luck was slightly bad as he missed the opportunity.

It must be known that to break through from 3-Star to 4-Star, Wei Xiao Bei thought of many methods. Now that he had missed the chance, he did not know when the opportunity would show itself again.

The rage in his heart rose. He did not even think of showing mercy anymore. He raised his great spear and closed in on the Flame Giants to have the great spear be in their range. Then he thrust out, attacking all three Flame Giants. In a moment, he had forced back the Flame Giants. The flames in their control could only be used to block his attacks.

The Flame Giants were the Jotunn Giants’ Descendants. The Jotunn Giants were not simple creatures.

In Norse Mythology, the gods were all descendants of giants. From this angle, you could see that the Flame Giants could also have the blood of gods.

They had their pride.

They originally planned to kill this group of Giant Wolves. They never imagined that this tiny thing would come over and force them into a tragic situation. This made the Flame Giants very angry.

One of the Flames Giants that had been forced down suddenly broke out.

“Roar! Blood Rupture!”

With a roar, the Flame Giant appeared like an erupting volcano. Its entire body sprayed out burning-hot flames. With its body at the center, a firestorm was immediately created that sent flames everywhere.

What a fierce firestorm!

With just the first contact, Wei Xiao Bie immediately retreated more than a hundred meters.

The fire storm’s temperature had exceeded 2000 degrees Celcius!
