The City of Terror - Chapter 458

Chapter 458: 458

 Devour the flesh!

Wei Xiao Bei extended his left hand . A cluster of flesh tendrils instantly shot forward like a fishing net, expanding to a range of dozens of meters . They enveloped all the corpses and stabbed into the flesh like steel needles .

Even the Flame Giant corpses that had withered tremendously from the spear’s power was easily pierced by the flesh threads .

In just thirty seconds, the corpses of the two wolves had been drained dry . Even the bones that should have been left behind were devoured, leaving no trace of the creatures .

One had to admit that the monsters that Wei Xiao Bei exterminated were completely destroyed .

This was indeed using things to their fullest potential .

First, he harvested the parts he needed from the monsters, then, he absorbed their power with his spear, and after he had the Life Altar devour the remains .

However, the energy contained within the corpse of the Flame Giants was significantly higher than the wolves . The Life Altar’s flesh reserve reached ten thousand while there was still a Flame Giant corpse left .

Wei Xiao Bei was not in a hurry to cultivate any new creatures . As such, he placed the Flame Giant corpse in his storage bracelet and moved to a new hiding spot .

A group of over fifty Flame Giants was walking in his direction . The ground made of plank-shaped tree roots were ignited wherever they went .

Fortunately, fires of this level weren’t too ferocious and would die out on their own . This was probably also due to the effect of the World Tree’s defensive system .

Wei Xiao Bei would never want to fight against fifty Flame Giants, regardless of how good he was feeling about himself . He might be able to kill a few more of them, but it was not going to be worth it . It wasn’t hard to imagine the vicious firestorm that would be unleashed from the combined effort of fifty berserk Flame Giants . Wei Xiao Bei would be erased without a trace, even if there were two of him .

The might of fifty Flame Giants in a group was far beyond the might of fifty individual Flame Giants .

Wei Xiao Bei shifted his attention to the attribute panel after entering a forest some distance away from the Flame Giants .

Most of his focus was placed upon the skills .

The [Release Electricity] whose voltage he had increased with the [Electrical Work] ability had created tremendous trouble for the Flame Giants in the battle earlier .

Without the electric currents to delay their actions, Wei Xiao Bei would have suffered even more tremendous losses, even if he would have won .

After all, the flames of the Flame Giants covered far too large of a radius . There was simply nowhere to hide even if you wanted to .

Wei Xiao Bei’s [Electrical Work] was at the Greater Heights level now . It thus branched out into two additional special skills- [Electromagnetic Field] and [Electricity Control] .

[Electricity Control] allowed Wei Xiao Bei to weaken and strengthen voltage or currents, with the other as the tradeoff .

Wei Xiao Bei had tested this ability before . It could approximately raise the voltage to 3000 volts and current strength to 1 . 5 amps .

That is to say, he could increase voltage or current by nearly fifty percent .

This was already a very decent skill .

[Release Electricity] had required 3 evolution points for every 1 point voltage increase in power . It was the same for increasing the current by 1 milliampere .

This meant that [Electricity Control] effectively helped Wei Xiao Bei save a tremendous amount of evolution points . Moreover, if he used this skill frequently enough, it would be able to improve on its own accord as well .

Of course, even if Wei Xiao Bei maintained a state of constant electricity release for the entire day, this rate of increase still wouldn’t be significant .

The best way to improve this special skill was to directly improve [Electrical Work] .

At the thought of this, Wei Xiao Bei made up his mind and placed all his attention on [Electrical Work] .

As 1500 evolution points faded away, the light blue skill in the panel quickly turned a dark blue . A faint trace of purple then started appearing . The purple quickly started spreading and colored the [Electrical Work] skill a solid shade of light purple .

The description of [Electrical Work] also increased from Greater Heights to Unfathomable .

 [Electrical Work] (Unfathomable): Due to the improvement of [Electrical Work], special branch skills [Electricity Control] and [Electromagnetic Field] has improved .

Wei Xiao Bei quickly examined the two improved special skills . The description did not explain any changes, but he was overjoyed when he tested the skills .

Upon improvement, [Electricity Control] could now increase voltage or current by a hundred percent!

That meant that voltage could be increased to 4000 volts, while the current could be increased to 2000 milliamps .

Of course, if he increased voltage, the current would be weakened . Conversely, increase the current and voltage would be decreased .

Meanwhile, [Electromagnetic Field] had its radius increased to fifteen meters, compared to the 6 . 5 meters that Wei Xiao Bei had managed to achieve through training . This was a proportionally much larger increase compared to [Electricity Control] .

 Should I improve [Electrical Work] by another level?

Wei Xiao Bei looked at his remaining 8880 evolution points and hesitated .

After all, he still needed to test out the evolved Life Altar . It was very likely that [Enhanced Modulation] would consume quite a lot of evolution points as well .

Still, with his current temperament, such hesitation only lasted for mere seconds .

 Improve it!

Of all of Wei Xiao Bei’s skills, [Electrical Work] and [Bajiquan] had reached the Unfathomable level . However, he truly had no idea what the level above was .

If he did not increase his skill level now, while he had a surplus of evolution points at hand, he didn’t know when he would do it next .

In that instant, a trace of understanding rose in his heart, as if he had grasped something important . Without any hesitation, Wei Xiao Bei focused his attention on [Electrical Work] .

The light purple quickly turned a dark purple as the evolution points were consumed .

However, to Wei Xiao Bei’s confusion, the rate at which the evolution points were consumed was gradually slowing down . Though a thousand points drained away quickly, by the time 1999 points had been consumed, the evolution points simply wouldn’t budge, regardless of how hard he was focusing . The now dark purple [Electrical Work] refused to improve any further .

 What was happening?

Wei Xiao Bei confirmed that the skill could no longer be raised any further after multiple tries .

 Could Unfathomable be the peak?

Wei Xiao Bei had a gut instinct that there was a new level beyond Unfathomable .

Still, the skill simply couldn’t be improved any further .

 Was it because of a lack of accumulation?

Wei Xiao Bei thought for a moment and then shifted his attention to [Bajiquan] .

As his attention was concentrated upon the skill, the evolution points drained away . Much in the same fashion as when he improved [Electrical Work], the rate of improvement gradually slowed down and became impossible when 1999 points had been used .

The same situation had appeared .

Wei Xiao Bei had a feeling that this was perhaps the key to advancing to a 4-Star Creature . As long as any of these two skills reached the next level, his bottleneck at Three-Star Terror would easily be broken through .

Thus, even though he had seemingly wasted 4000 evolution points, Wei Xiao Bei was excited to have found a way to break through the bottleneck of the Three-Star Terror level .

After a moment of excitement, Wei Xiao Bei tossed the matter to the back of his mind . As long as he continued training [Bajiqun] and using [Electrical Work]’s branch skills, the day would come .

He put the matter aside and turned his attention to the Life Altar .

Wei Xiao Bei was currently in a dense forest . He searched his surroundings with [Response Search] . Upon finding no abnormalities, he extended his left hand and the rift on his palm opened . A cluster of flesh threads shot forth and formed a ball of flesh on the ground . That wasn’t the end of it . Yet another cluster of threads shot forth and formed another ball of flesh .

After several instances of doing this, four balls stood before Wei Xiao Bei . Unlike the previous balls of flesh, these four balls radiated a hint of evilness . Even the color was black .

This was the new ability that the Life Altar possessed upon evolving . Perhaps it should be known as a hidden skill .

It allowed the altar to cultivate multiple creatures simultaneously, unlike before .

The four balls weren’t the limit of the Life Altar . The limit of the Altar was ten balls .

However, Wei Xiao Bei was simply attempting to test every one of the foundational creatures .

The speed at which the creatures were cultivated was exceedingly fast .

In just ten seconds, these balls of various sizes split apart . The Weakling Pig, the High-Temperature Bird, the Digging Pig, and the Person appeared, one by one .

It wasn’t until they had devoured their flesh ball shells and grew to their fullest size that Wei Xiao Bei started examining them .

One had to admit that the Life Altar truly felt like a bug in computer software .

The abilities of the four foundational creatures had received improvements of varying degrees after the Altar’s evolution .

The Weakling Pig might have become slightly stronger, but it was its hidden abilities that were greatly improved .

The High-Temperature Birds experienced an expected improvement . Their body temperature went from 90 degrees to 150 degrees . This was a substantial improvement .

Meanwhile, the Digging Pig was now stronger at melee combat . The Person experienced a comprehensive improvement in its abilities . It was now more similar to a person in terms of the way it conducted itself . Of course, it still appeared a little dull and slow in the way it moved and behaved . However, this was already a tremendous improvement . It was extremely difficult to notice the dullness in his behavior if one didn’t pay attention .

Wei Xiao Bei recycled the four foundational creatures after completing his examination . Of course, recycling in this manner would still consume some flesh .

For instance, the High-Temperature Bird that required fifty pieces of flesh to cultivate only returned forty after being recycled . It could even go as low as thirty pieces of flesh .

Still, this was a way to save resources .

Wei Xiao Bei then shut his eyes and focused on the foundational creature templates in his mind .

There were now ten foundational creature templates after the Life Altar’s evolution .
