The City of Terror - Chapter 475

Chapter 475: 475

 Finally, the swan drew its last breath amidst a weak cry for help .

At this instant, Wei Xiao Bei felt a chill run down his back for no reason, as if something incredibly dangerous was surging toward him from below .

“Let’s go!”

He did not hesitate at all . He reached with both his hands, grabbing Kashmir and Andre, who were both on the tree branches, and jumped, somersaulted through the air and started running toward the higher branches .

He even activated [Intermediate Power Burst] to increase his speed to its maximum . In the blink of an eye, they had charged over a hundred meters away from their original location .

The danger Wei Xiao Bei had sensed finally lowered when they were five hundred meters away .

More accurately, this danger wasn’t aimed at him . He was merely an unfortunate victim caught in it .

A spear made of golden light instantly pierced through the thick and massive branches of the World Tree, striking the Boston ivy where the vines were the densest .

Boom! A loud sound .

The golden spear exploded, turning into countless shorter spears that shot in every direction .

Wei Xiao Bei was now over a kilometer away, but he still could not escape the impact . Several of the short spears passed by him .

The look on his face was grim, for his back had been stabbed by one of the golden short spears in that instant . His skin that could deflect even a rifle bullet at zero distance had not managed to deflect the spear .

Fortunately, the spear vanished on its own after piercing halfway through his body . It left a bloody hole the size of a bowl in his back .

There were no side-effects .

Wei Xiao Bei was relieved after examining the wound .

The hole on his back and the injured organs were quickly healing as well .

Even he had been caught in the attack despite how far away he was . It wasn’t hard to imagine what it was like to be at the center of that golden spear attack .

Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t be bothered with his wound at this moment either . He turned to look and was almost shocked to death .

The explosion of the golden light spear had forcefully blown away the stem of a branch belonging to the World Tree . No wonder he felt such intense tremors from below his feet .

This branch was about to snap .

Just imagine if this branch snapped . Disregarding the impact resulting from a branch as thick and heavy as this falling to the ground, just the height alone was unimaginable . If Xiao Bei fell from here, being smashed to pieces would be the best possible scenario .

As for the Boston ivy vines? Well, even the World Tree’s branch had ended up like this . It wasn’t too hard to imagine what had happened to them .

Still, the Boston ivy had tremendous resilience . Even though most of its vines had been shredded to pieces, there were still a few vines entangled with the swans and greedily sucking their blood .

Wei Xiao Bei was terrified now . He turned and ran toward the trunk of the World Tree .

He made sure not to waste anything when he ran past the remains of the Boston ivy . He quickly grabbed a few of the vines with his left hand, along with some of the ivy seeds, both of which he stuffed into his storage bracelet .

When he passed by above the two swans, he hesitated for a moment . Many thoughts ran through his mind .

He might not have any chance to cooperate with those unreasonable giants in this World Tree Dust World, but it might be a different story with the World Tree and its allies . Let’s see if there’s a possibility .

Wei Xiao Bei sighed in his mind and reached with his left hand, grabbing the two swans to his side . The few vines were naturally reluctant to abandon this sumptuous feast and immediately started tightening their grip .

He did not stop moving, and let go of Andre with his right hand . Electric sparks came from his finger as he wiped across the vines lightly . The vines immediately shrunk and removed themselves from the swans’ body . They then fell toward the ground .

Just as he suspected, these Boston ivies were most afraid of high temperatures .

The quick burst of electricity from Wei Xiao Bei’s fingers had created heat as high as six hundred degrees . Even his fingertip had been charred by the sparks . It was more than enough to frighten the Boston ivy .

He had no intention to let the swan that had died to the vines go to waste either . He quickly put its corpse into his storage bracelet as well .

Wei Xiao Bei then picked Andre back up from the ground .

Andre’s face had already turned green . It couldn’t be helped . No one would be in a good mood if they were almost thrown aside in such a circumstance .

The whole group barely made it in time . He had just leaped away from the tree branch and charged into the tree hollow when a loud crackling sound came from behind him . It was the sound of a snapping branch .

Kakakakaka .

He felt the ground beneath him tremble . The tremor was so strong that it almost made him slip and fall, despite his [Unobstructed Path] skill .

After stabilizing himself, Wei Xiao Bei stuck his head out and looked down . The gigantic tree branch was quickly falling to the ground . There was only empty air in front of him .

The branch might not be much for the World Tree itself, but it was still incomparably massive to him already .

Some of the thinner and smaller branches down the tree could not endure the weight of this branch as it fell . These smaller branches immediately snapped in half and started falling as well .

The impact of this branch falling could be felt even on the ground .

In truth, both the Giants and the allies of the World Tree had noticed some commotion due to the sudden weakening of the valkyrie’s golden light and her enraged expression .

The valkyrie had suddenly leaped out of the battlefield while fighting against the Giants, before launching a spear of golden light into the air .

Everyone could tell that this attack had exhausted the valkyrie, as over eighty percent of her golden light faded after that .

She did not even use this ability when she was fighting against that eighty-meter tall Giant .

Then, something appeared to fall from the sky . Something that applied immense pressure to everyone, almost as if the sky itself was what was falling .

Fortunately, it wasn’t the sky .

The tree branch, large as an entire mountain range, was finally stopped by the other branches, a thousand meters above the ground . It swayed threateningly there, making for tremendous pressure for the monsters fighting on the ground .

The Giants, the Giant Wolves, and the Einherjars were all beginning to be distracted from the battle .

No one was willing to flee from the battle first . That would give the enemy the chance to follow them and run them down .

However, continuing the fight on this battlefield meant constantly enduring the fear of the tree branch suddenly falling on them .

This was even more terrifying than having a sword hanging above their necks .

Most of the monsters couldn’t help but divert part of their attention above their heads, even as they fought .

Consequently, the intensity of the fight dialed down and became somewhat lukewarm . It less resembled a war now and more a sparring session .

This was something that the valkyrie had not expected .

The battle below did not concern Wei Xiao Bei . He ignored the intense tremors and started to climb upward along the tunnels . He now had two chickens, no, swans in his left hand, Andre in his right and Kashmir crouching on his head . He rushed upward while his legs were still empowered by the Intermediate Power Burst, seemingly not exhausted in any way .

It wasn’t until waves of weakness washed over his body that he finally stopped walking and sat on the ground .

Wei Xiao Bei didn’t completely relax either . He kept a close eye on the two swans with [Response Search] .

Unfortunately, one of the two swans had died just like its companion . He had no choice but to put it in his storage bracelet .

The last swan also seemed to be in a terrible condition from the vines’ bloodsucking . It had not recovered at all even after all this time, still teetering on the brink of death, as if it was about to die at the very next moment .

Wei Xiao Bei took out two pieces of roast meat and tore away at them while gulping down one mouthful of Lesser Spring Water of Youth .

He wasn’t trying to be wasteful . His body’s regenerative ability had simply been weakened in his current state of fatigue . He had to be a little extravagant now if he wanted to heal his wounds and regain combat ability as quickly as possible .

He glanced at the dying swan and hesitated for a moment . In the end, he fed the swan one drop of the Spring Water .

At any rate, after robbing the Einherjar’s gathering place, he had over four thousand milliliters of Secondary Spring Water of Youth . It wouldn’t matter if he wasted a bit of that .

Of course, he wouldn’t feed the swan too much of the Spring Water .

Once it had fully recovered, the first thing it would probably do was attempt to fight him .

He had only saved the swan to see if there was a chance to mend their relationship . If it wasn’t possible, Wei Xiao Bei was not the compassionate sort .

He had slaughtered plenty of chickens and ducks back when he was helping in the army kitchen . He wouldn’t feel bad about wasting the meat in any manner .

However, his head started to ache soon .

The swan might have escaped from her comatose, near-death state after swallowing the Spring Water, but it also began to undergo an unbelievable change .

The feathers on the swan started to fade and its body started to grow in size until the swan turned into an extremely pretty girl .

The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years of age . She had long golden hair that reached down to her waist, a pretty face and a long and slender neck just like a swan .

As for the rest? Well, Xiao Bei was a little embarrassed to keep looking .

After all, the girl was completely naked after turning from a swan into a human .

If this was an R-rated film, Xiao Bei would watch the whole thing without even blinking .

However, when it was the real thing before his eyes, anyone would have the decency to look away, especially when Andre and Kashmir were still by his side .

“What are you looking at? Remember, you already have a wife and a bunch of children . ”

Xiao Bei immediately saw the saliva dripping out of Andre’s mouth . His eyes almost turned green with envy at the moment . He slapped the guy over the head and woke him to his senses .
