Chpater 464 – Big Gains

Wei Xiao Bei’s explosive speed was shockingly fast and quickly saw a Skeleton Bird that was chasing after one Digging Pig.

However, the Digging Pig’s situation was not that good.

Its body was riddled with injuries as it passed through the domain of other monsters and was attacked. Naturally, if it was not like that the Digging Pig would have already died.

This was because the creatures that attacked the Digging Pig had already been killed by the Skeleton Bird chasing behind, giving the Digging Pig the chance to increase the distance between them. Every time that the bird attacked, it would dive down and then fly back up.

This time he did not hide under the pig as the risks were a bit big.

Wei Xiao Bei directly hid in the treetops. This was the location that one of his weakling pig’s discovered.

In the World Tree Dust World, it was possible to hide from enemies with weak awareness in the tree branches, as only by hiding atop the trees where it would be difficult to find unless one searches meticulously, could he hide from the Skeleton Bird.

This was the trick that the Einherjars used to ambush the giants from atop the trees. Although the results of that battle were that both sides lost, the three hundred 2-Star Terror Einherjars managed to kill thirty Flame Giants. It could be considered as a favorable territorial advantage.

On the other hand, the Digging Pig had charged past under the tree, and stopped at the edge of the treetop, making an action as if to hide under the tree.

The Skeleton Bird could not help but advance faster and stick close to the treetop’s edge and dive down at a 30-degree angle.

The pig did not run nor hide from the bird as it ran under the treetops.

On the other hand, the height of the tree was around twenty meters. Just when the Skeleton Bird was within a twenty-meter distance of the Digging Pig, a dagger suddenly flew out from the treetops, instantly destroying the bones of the Skeleton Bird.

At the same time, Wei Xiao Bei had already leaped out, causing the leaves to fly out. Then the jian smashed out, striking the skull of the Skeleton Bird.

Immediately, the skull exploded into pieces. The body lost control as it struck the ground, and all the bones flew everywhere.

The soul flame had flown out and automatically extinguished. Afterward, it became a blue pearl that landed on the ground. Wei Xiao Bei who landed on the ground quickly caught it and placed it into his storage bracelet.

1400 evolution points obtained, plus a soul pearl!

It could be said that under the special characteristics of the terrain, adding the weakness of the Skeleton Bird, it allowed him to easily execute the Skeleton Bird.

Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei did not delay anymore as he let the pig follow behind him as he ran toward another pig.

After repeating the pattern a few times, Wei Xiao Bei had killed two more Skeleton Birds and obtained two more soul pearls. However, at this time, Wei Xiao Bei had already gone into his weakened state. He could not help but let the three Digging Pigs that he had saved to wander around while he hid in the treetops to rest.

After eating some food and recovering his stamina, Wei Xiao Bei moved his attention to the Weakling Pigs, using their vision to obtain information.

In the current situation, the giants were at a huge advantage while the World Tree side was in imminent danger.

The quickest giant army was already less than three kilometers away from the World Tree. From the Digging Pig’s line of sight, the World Tree was like a tall skyscraper. Naturally, creatures were climbing up the crevices of its bark.

The cracks were only cracks for the World Tree, but for creatures like Wei Xiao Bei, they were wide roads where even elephants could climb up without any problems.

However, these were not important. The most important thing was that there were more and more creatures and Einherjars coming out to protect the World Tree, fighting against the advancing giant army. There were even some tall beautiful humanoid creatures that were climbing down the world tree and joining the battle.

Eh?

Looking at the golden-haired and white-skinned handsome men and beautiful women, Wei Xiao Bei had thought that he had seen Aryans.

However, after comparing them in his brain, he noticed that these creatures were more than three meters tall.

Three-meter tall humans should not exist in reality.

Then the identity of these creatures was about to be understood.

There was no mistake!

These were the elves that appeared in many games and novels!

The myths of elves originally started from Norse mythology. They were respected creatures found living on top of the World Tree.

According to Norse mythology, the majority of the elves had been killed during Ragnarok. Naturally, it was also possible for some of them to survive.

No matter what was said, the troops of the World Tree was continuously growing.

In the end, they had successfully blocked the giants and locked them outside three kilometers of the World Tree.

It must be said that among them, the elves provided the most fighting power. The arrows that they shot were a lot farther, faster, and stronger compared to the Einherjars.

However, the main force that truly blocked the giant army’s advance was a group of short dwarves whose height did not exceed 1.2 meters.

Although their bodies were small, their bodies were all muscly and naked above. They held onto hammers and smashed at the giants’ toes. This move was simply wicked.

The giants were more than ten meters tall. In their viewpoint, these small creatures were just dots. If they did not pay special attention to them, they would not have noticed them.

The most annoying part was that these dwarves had resistance to the flames of the Flame Giants. This quickly caused the Flame Giants to sink into chaos.

Luckily, the skeleton birds did not appear. Otherwise, the World Tree’s side would suffer large casualties even with all their reinforcements.

Eh?

What is that?

With his borrowed vision, Wei Xiao Bei suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

Kashmir!

It was a small fairy. At this time, it had climbed atop an Einherjar’s helmet, grabbing its tip with one hand while raising its other hand and shouting something.

What did it come here to do?

Seeing the Flame Giants throw fireballs close to the Einherjar made Wei Xiao Bei’s back let out a cold sweat.

If the Einherjar had been careless, it might be able to survive but Kashmir would not.

Although Kashmir had [Innate Luck], why would there be stories about being cursed by fairies in Norse myth?

This means that there were fairies that were killed.

The [Innate Luck] skill was not some kind of miracle drug.

Luckily, after Wei Xiao Bei had a rest, he had recovered a bit even if he was still in a weakened state. He looked at the distance and guessed that he was still sixty meters away. In other words, if Wei Xiao Bei ran there, the weakened state would have mostly disappeared.

He quickly made a decision and called the three Digging Pigs. He jumped on one of their backs and ordered all of them to run toward the World Tree.

Until now, other than these three Digging Pigs, all other pigs had already been killed.

If it was not because the Life Altar was asleep, he would have bred an army of creatures. At that time, he would be able to disrupt the situation and bring Kashmir away.

However, looking at the current situation, he could only enter the battle.

Wei Xiao Bei was a bit displeased at this unexpected situation, but he could only do so after thinking about Kashmir.

The digging pig’s speed was a lot faster than a car. It probably ran about 120 kilometers per hour.

Thus, in around half an hour, Wei Xiao Bei made it to the edge of the battlefield.

The two sides were currently in an unstoppable killing spree. This was because once the giants win, then the World Tree would be destroyed.

On the other hand, if the World Tree’s side wins, the giants would receive huge damage that would stop them for a long time.

Just like that, the battle was currently expanding.

Whether it was the World Tree’s side or the Giant side, their armies were continuously coming over, causing the battle to become even more chaotic.

On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei had encountered a group of Frost Giants when he approached the edge of battle.

They were enemies that he encountered on a narrow road!

The Frost Giants were only 3-Star Elite Creatures and a lot more inferior compared to the Flame Giants that were 3-Star Terror Creatures.

Thus, even if these Frost Giants exceeded thirty in number, Wei Xiao Bei did not choose to avoid them. He pulled out his great spear and ordered his Digging Pig to charge forward. It immediately activated [Charge], causing its speed to increase as it charged toward the Frost Giants.

Seeing three Digging Pigs charge at them, the Frost Giants got careless.

The Frost Giants were a lot taller than the Flame Giants as one of them was about fifteen meters tall.

Just like that, the height of the Digging Pigs was a joke in front of the Frost Giants.

Analogically speaking, they were humans wielding weapons in front of dogs charging at them.

These Frost Giants had the power of ice and did not fear the small pigs at all.

Just when the Digging Pigs charged over, only the Frost Giants at the front let out ice arrows and shot the Digging Pigs.

Just when the ice arrows hit the Digging Pigs and caused them to roll on the ground, the distance between both sides was less than twenty meters.

Wei Xiao Bei simply ignored the Digging Pig under him as he jumped off its back, dodging the ice arrows. The great spear appeared in his hand as he poked the ground with it, causing him to fly even higher. With a thrust, the great spear penetrated the skill of a Frost Giant, instantly killing it!
