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:

…

Completely escaped battle .

    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 .
