The City of Terror

After the High-Temperature Birds ate their meat cocoons, they were a lot more robust compared to the first time they emerged. Additionally, their feathers had also grown, making them look like giant eagles.

Afterward, the High-Temperature Birds all flew up high in the sky. Wei Xiao Bei’s left hand once again shot out tendrils and created cocoons.

The second time, Wei Xiao Bei created Digging Pigs.

A High-Temperature Bird consumed about 50 flesh, while a Digging Pig consumed 200 flesh, and a Fire Giant consumed 300 flesh.

Wei Xiao Bei bred 200 High-Temperature Birds, 50 Digging Pigs, and 30 Fire Giants.

Just like that 30000 flesh was consumed from the Life Altar’s storage. After creating so many creatures, his Life Altar’s storage was completely exhausted.

It could be said that the stronger the Life Altar became, the more Wei Xiao Bei was capable of creating an army.

The only problem was that the creatures he created were not considered strong. The worst part was that they were not intelligent either. If Wei Xiao Bei had not been commanding them through the spiritual link, then they could only mindlessly attack.

They would only win by swarming the enemies.

If that was the case, Wei Xiao Bei simply did not need to go recruit people. He could just create more Persons and use them as bodyguards to protect his family.

However, those Persons required a lot of evolution points to grow stronger.

Naturally, not being intelligent now did not mean that they could not gain intelligence in the future.

After all, from Wei Xiao Bei’s points of view, the Life Altar had not yet reached its growth limits.

“Three Fire Giants, five Digging Pigs, and 20 High-Temperature Birds for a team. In total, 20 teams. Perform a sweep of the area below and attack all enemies you see!”

Wei Xiao Bei arranged the creatures into teams and let them circle the area as he gave his command.

Every creature that they encountered, whether weak or strong, should be eliminated!

Wei Xiao Bei let the creatures circle the place close to Mt. Song.

He had already sent some Weakling Pigs to scan these few areas. He only found some weak Plant Monsters. Naturally, he also came across some creatures above 2-Star.

However, in front of Wei Xiao Bei’s troops, they did not have any resistance.

When the teams set out, Wei Xiao Bei once again took out the corpse of the Flame Giant. He first used the Divine White Mist Great Spear to let it absorb the corpse’s energy. When the corpse had shrunk a lot, he let the Life Altar’s tendrils devour the giant, replenishing the flesh storage.

Of course, compared to a fresh corpse, the fire giant’s corpse had been swept by the power of the White Mist Great Spear once. The flesh reserves that could be transformed were only three-fifths of the previous, and two-fifths of the flesh had been taken as energy by the Great Spear.

Naturally, even if that was so, the dried-up corpses of the Flame Giants restored 4000 flesh.

Eh?

Wei Xiao Bei unconsciously used [Enlightenment] to look at the remains of the Flame Giant corpse that had been devoured and noticed something new.

Name: Dust World Bone Ashes (High Quality)

Description: The object is the residue matter of a Dust World creature after being devoured by the Life Altar. Capable of being refined by the [Weapon Manufacturing] skill to become fertilizer. The stronger the monster, the more effective the fertilizer.

….

Capable of being turned into fertilizer?

Wei Xiao Bei came to a new understanding.

It must be known that after the Pedestal of the Fountain of Youth, he already had a series of plans.

He would first buy an island somewhere abroad as his escape route. However, the island was also the place where he would set up the pedestal.

The pedestal could speed up the growth of plants. This was something that Wei Xiao Bei would not let go of. Whether for use as food or seasoning, it held great purpose.

On the other hand, the fertilizer created by this Dust World Bone Ash should also have some benefits.

However, Wei Xiao Bei was not in a rush to turn it into fertilizer. He only placed it into his storage bracelet.

After this discovery, it could be said that the Dust World creatures were doomed to a tragic fate.

He would turn the best parts into dishes whilst the remaining parts would become energy for the Great Spear. After being dried up of energy, they would become a supply for the Life Altar. Then, the remaining bone ashes would become fertilizer.

The Tan Dynasty’s Great Poet, Li Shangyin had written a quote that suited the situation.

A silkworm exhausts its silk till death. A candle burns itself out to give light.

From start to finish, everything had a use. If other people found out, Wei Xiao Bei might just gain an award for environmental protection.

Afterward, the Flame Giant corpses that he had hoarded were taken out from the bracelet one by one. He took the best and finest loins and stored them back in the bracelet. Then, he let the Great Spear absorb their energy. This was the most important thing to do.

The quality of the Great Spear required a lot of energy. In truth, the higher the rank of the monster, the better.

However, it was not that easy to obtain the corpses of monsters above 4-Star as they were simply quite rare. Anyway, there was not a significant increase in strength once a creature reached 4-Star, although they would definitely have some strange killing attacks.

For example, the Skeleton Bird had the special ability to steal souls. Even Wei Xiao Bei would need to be cautious in dealing with them.

Since it was not easy to obtain the corpse of a 4-Star Creature, Wei Xiao Bei could only set his sights on 3-Star Terror Creatures.

As for normal or elites, the Great Spear could still absorb their energy, but only a small amount.

Everything below 3-Star did not have an impact on the Great Spear’s energy at all.

After devouring the energy of the Flame Giant corpses and being devoured by the Life Altar, the remains of the corpses were stored into the storage bracelet. However, the bone ashes were very dense.

There were a total of 27 Flame Giant Corpses and 3 Giant Python corpses.

The storage bracelet could store 120 cubic meters, but actually, the objects inside were not calculated by volume. Denser objects occupied more space than objects that were less dense. For example, air. If 1000 cubic meters of air were stored inside, it might just shrink down to one cubic meters or less.

Naturally, the Flame Giants and Giant Pythons might not have the same density as air, but their bodies still contained liquids. Thus, the storage bracelet could store a lot of them.

In this repeated cycle, Wei Xiao Bei had consumed 8 Flame Giant corpses, allowing the Life Altar to fully replenish.

At this time, the creatures that he sent out had continuously swept through the Plant Monsters, causing his evolution points to increase.

The High-Temperature Birds and the Fire Giants that could control fire were the natural enemies of these plant-type creatures.

As for bigger, stronger trees, they had a hard time defending against the Digging Pigs.

In less than 20 minutes, Wei Xiao Bei had gained 1300 evolution points.

In other words, he killed more around 1300 plant type creatures.

As previously said, due to the spiritual link, he would gain a portion of the evolution points from the bred creatures.

However, because the evolution points he gained were just 1 point, there was no difference between him going out to attack and the bred monsters killing other monsters.

Of course, this was limited to the mandatory 1 point. If he collected 200 evolution points by killing monsters himself, then breeding creates to kill for him, Wei Xiao Bei would only be able to harvest up to 160 points.

Wei Xiao Bei did not create any more creatures.

After all, the bred creatures could only deal with the weaker monsters. If they encountered monsters of 3-Star Terror or above, they would not be able to do anything.

The bred creatures continued to clean up the weak monsters. Wei Xiao Bei took a look and saw that after his evolution points exceeded 1300 points, however, the speed at which it was increasing had slowed down.

After all, the number of monsters was limited within a certain range.

After calculating, Wei Xiao Bei shook his head. In order to level up his [Cooking] skill from greater heights to unfathomable, he would need 3000 evolution points, which was double compared to other skills.

Since he could not do so at the moment, Wei Xiao Bei dismissed the matter and took out the Small Yin Flame Cauldron.

It must be said that he had already used the cauldron many times. He took out some bone ashes from the storage bag and placed them into the cauldron. He activated the Yin Flames and melted the ashes with great skill.

In truth, the process was not complicated. In less than 5 minutes, the bone ashes were turned into condensed sand.

The fertilizer was successfully refined.

Name: Dust World Fertilizer (Normal)

Description: This object is made from Dust World Bone Ashes. It can promote plant growth and increase the chance of plant mutation.

Effect 1: Increase plant growth speed by 30%

Effect 2: Increase plant mutation chance by 0.0001%

….

After looking at the description, he understood the benefits of the fertilizer.

The increased growth speed was not that remarkable.
