The City of Terror

Chapter 61 – Big Tree Essence

Thinking until this points, Wei Xiao Bei could only sigh at his good luck. If he wasn’t so lucky, he would have already become a pile of bones.

Meanwhile, the battle faraway was still progressing.

The tree root that had dispersed the mist began to corrode. Soon after, the mist had once again turned into a white horse, bringing the to attack the huge tree again.

Seeing the mist’s strength, the huge tree learnt its lesson and did not dare let it approach.

In an instant, countless roots shot out from the ground, piercing the white horse.

The white horse once again shattered into mist.

Similarly, the mist formed after it shattered and spread, killing countless of the big trees surrounding it.

After countless similar exchanges, the big trees in the surroundings refused to stay any longer. They all moved their roots and crawled far away. However, even when they did so, a fifth of the big trees had already turned into the black liquid.

Following the retreat of the trees, the huge tree suddenly didn’t want to tangle with the white horse anymore.

After shattering it once again, the huge tree also moved its roots and ran away into the distance.

However, when the white horse recovered, it quickly chased after it and another fight with the huge tree started.

The big trees, the huge tree, and the white horse fought as they moved further away. When they finally disappeared behind the building complexes, Wei Xiao Bei let out a sigh of relief; his back drenched in sweat.

I can’t stay here any longer.

Wei Xiao Bei realised that although the huge tree and the white horse had disappeared into the distance, there was also a possibility that they might return. He did not want to become a part of these huge monster’s meal.

Perhaps because of the fight’s influence, he did run into any monsters while he returned to his apartment.

After returning to his room, he laid down on the bed and looked at today’s battlelog.

Battlelog:

It took a while for Wei Xiao Bei to finish looking at the long battlelog.

After looking at it, he felt that he was truly very lucky.

After that Thousand Eyed Devil, he actually encountered another 3-Star Terror Creature! And not just one of them, but two! The lucky thing though, was that he had escaped and survived.

Whether it was the Thousand Eyed Devil, Mist Draconic Horse, or the Big Tree Spirit, they were not creatures that could be compared to a 1-Star like Wei Xiao Bei.

Big Tree Spirit Root?

After thinking for a bit, Wei Xiao Bei opened his backpack, causing a thick fragrance to come out, stirring his glands to salivate.

This smell was familiar yet strange. It made him think about things similar to the Thunder Worm Electric Ball.

After taking out a few roots, the thick scent’s assault intensified, urging him.

Should I eat it?

Wei Xiao Bei tried to resist the impulse floating in his mind. Who was willing to eat a tree root out of boredom?

Items on hand: Big Tree Spirit Root

Big Tree Spirit Root: 3-Star Terror Creature, Big Tree Spirit’s Root. Contains strong vitality. Its sap can cure medium wounds. Every drop will increase all sub-attributes by 0.01 points.

What good stuff!

After taking a look, he became a bit excited.

He had a total of 19 sub-attributes. If all his attributes increased by 0.01 points, it was the same as placing 19 points into his attributes.

His previous hesitance to eating it had quickly disappeared.

He took out one of the roots and squeezed it, squeezing out the sap into his mouth.

With every drop of tree sap, a warm feeling began to flow into his body.

His entire body was being cleansed by this warm flow. With every drop, Wei Xiao Bei was able to sense the changes in his body.

Wei Xiao Bei had only picked up 7 roots. Even if he desperately squeezed them, only 20 drops came out.

I must extract all its worth! There should still be a bit more tree sap in this root!

From his point of view, having a juicer right now would be a great thing.

However, this was only an unrealistic delusion. Wei Xiao Bei tried to search the apartment street, but he did not find anything that could help him.

In this ruined ash gray world, finding something useful was incredibly hard.

Things that could be normally work were all broken.

After hesitating, Wei Xiao Bei used his knife to cut a small tree root, stuffed it in his mouth, and chewed on it.

The tree sap did not taste bad, but the tree root itself tasted bad, as if he was eating a type of sour grass.

When he finished eating one of the roots, he let out a long sigh as if eating it was really too hard.

If he did not want the remaining sap inside, he would not even eat something like this even if he was killed.

This vile texture in his mouth, though, had actually brought him benefits. After eating the root, he was given points equivalent to 11 drops.

Altogether, there were a total of 31 drops.

This meant that his attributes had each increased by 0.31 points.

From the start until now, this was the first time he felt frightened by the growth speed.

19 kinds of sub-attributes had each grown 0.31 points each. This was the same as Wei Xiao Bei placing 589 evolution points into his status.

Following the growth of hissub-attributes, he was able to understand the changes to his body.

Although it was not supposed to be a sharp increase in strength or agility, the obvious misconception of being born a new had still risen from within him.

Before he was able to attempt a feel on his body changes, tiredness surged into his mind.

Wei Xiao Bei half consciously calculated. He had already been in The Dust World for 5 hours. In the next instant, he lied down on his bed and fell asleep.

“Fight as we’re ordered, do as we’re told! Train in your guns, bayonets, and hand grenades. Take aim and shoot…….”

Wei Xiao Bei extended his hand and turned off his alarm.

Eh? Its already 6 AM?

Wei Xiao Bei stood up and stretched his aching body. The ‘pick pack’ sound of his bones sounded one after the other.

He checked his surroundings and knew that he was back to reality.

Outside, the aluminum window showed a sheet of darkness being driven away by the light. It was just at the time when the night changes to day, slightly resembling the dust world’s grayness.However, the scene outside the window was much better than anything he had ever seen in The Dust World.
