Apart from the four already finalized foundational creatures, there were still six blank creature templates for Wei Xiao Bei to use. This was more than enough.
As his thoughts started to branch out, the silhouette of a wolf quickly appeared on a blank creature template in his mind.
Indeed, this was the form of the Giant Wolves.
The Life Altar had devoured the corpses of the Giant Wolves and could use those as the foundations of the template. Also, due to the Life Altar’s [Gene Assimilation], a clearer and more detailed image of the wolf appeared in Wei Xiao Bei’s mind.
This was very important, as [Gene Assimilation] was undoubtedly an enhanced version of the Life Altar’s original skills.
With the aid of this skill, the template of the fifth foundational creature was quickly finalized.
Wei Xiao Bei then chose the Flame Giant for the sixth foundational creature template. A Three-Star Terror Creature was more than qualified to serve as a foundational creature template.
At any rate, there were still plenty of blank templates. If the templates were all occupied, Wei Xiao Bei could simply get rid of some of the existing ones.
He extended his left hand and flesh threads shot forward, forming into two balls. One was one meter in diameter, while the other was one and a half meters.
Judging from the size of the balls alone, the Flame Giant and the Giant Wolf were indeed fairly powerful monsters.
The balls of flesh split open. A small wolf and a miniature Flame Giant climbed out from within and started chewing at their meat shells.
What happened next caused Wei Xiao Bei’s to go wide with astonishment.
The small wolf and the miniature giant started rapidly growing in size after eating the balls of meat.
The wolf grew to two meters in height, while the Flame Giant grew to three meters.
There was no doubt about it. These two foundational creatures were much stronger as compared to the other foundational creatures.
This was due to the Life Altar’s evolution. The improvement of the Altar had increased the natural strength of the foundational creatures.
Of course, compared to their original forms, these foundational creatures were still far too weak.
Wei Xiao Bei examined the status panels of these two creatures. Their attributes weren’t particularly extraordinary, standing at an average of 2 points above the previous foundational creatures. The small wolf was One-Star Elite, while the miniature Flame Giant was a Two-Star. They were both much stronger than the One-Star High-Temperature Bird.
Moreover, the wolf naturally possessed the ability of stealth, while the Flame Giant possessed the ability to manipulate fire.
Of course, compared to the actual Giant Wolves and Flame Giants, the unique skills possessed by these foundational creatures were far weaker.
The small wolf was named Shadewolf, while the miniature Flame Giant was named Fire Giant. The names were simple and reflected their unique abilities.
However, trouble immediately started. The Shadewolf and the Fire Giant suddenly started fighting amongst themselves. Even Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t keep them apart from each other. The Shadewolf and Fire Giant remained hostile.
This was something that Wei Xiao Bei had never expected.
If someone were to suggest that the hatred between the Giant Wolves and Flame Giants would have been inherited by their foundational creatures, he would have laughed it off as a joke.
However, the situation remained the same no matter what he tried. The few additional Shadewolves and Fire Giants he cultivated still viewed each other as enemies. Wei Xiao Bei had no choice but to keep them completely separate. Otherwise, they would break out into a fight whenever they got too close.
Wei Xiao Bei then did [Enhanced Modulation] on the Shadewolf and the Fire Giant.
He didn’t dare to make too many modifications as he didn’t have a lot of evolution points at the moment. He simply increased their size and strengthened their muscles slightly. The Shadewolf went to four meters, while the Fire Giant went to nine.
For this purpose, Wei Xiao Bei had to exhaust 1500 evolution points. There was no doubt that the cost of using [Enhanced Modulation] on the Shadewolf and the Fire Giant far outweighed the cost of doing so to the Digging Pig.
Thus, the Shadewolf and the Fire Giant were both raised to Two-Star Elite.
After finalizing the changes to these two foundational creatures, Wei Xiao Bei then used [Enhanced Modulation] on all the previous foundational creatures as well, spending another 3000 points to do so.
At this point, all of Wei Xiao Bei’s foundational creatures were at Two-Star Elite, leaving only the Weakling Pig at Two-Star.
This Weakling Pig was simply too much of a point-guzzler.
Over 2000 evolution points had been spent on the Weakling Pig alone.
Thus, Wei Xiao Bei’s reserves of points fell harshly. He now only had 382 points.
At this point, he felt like the evolution points were truly not sufficient for all his uses.
He reached out with his left hand!
Flesh threads came spewing forth from the opening!
In just a few seconds, ten palm-sized flesh balls had formed.
Twenty seconds later, all the balls split apart as small pigs the size of a finger-joint emerged from within. The pigs then jumped on the balls of flesh and started devouring them.
These Weakling Pigs looked the same as the appearance that Wei Xiao Bei had finalized in his mind.
Even after devouring the balls, the Weakling Pigs did not grow in size. Instead, their bodies turned more sturdy and muscular.
The Weakling Pigs had undergone a tremendous change after the [Enhanced Modulation].
Firstly, their size shrank. Wings had also grown on their backs. Their life force had also been greatly improved.
These Weakling Pigs had no combat prowess to speak of, yet was still rated at Two-Star. This was a testament to their tremendous life force. These Weakling Pigs would not need to eat for another month after this meal.
Moreover, their unique [Weakling] skill had been further improved. They would easily be overlooked even if they were placed right in front of an enemy.
“Go! ”
Wei Xiao Bei gave his orders through the telepathic connection.
The ten Weakling Pigs scattered in the blink of an eye. They each chose a direction and flew forward with their wings, vanishing from Wei Xiao Bei’s sight after ten meters.
Though Wei Xiao Bei could confirm the positions of the Weakling Pigs through their telepathic connection, he could only catch the silhouettes of the Weakling Pigs within twenty meters of his [Response Search]. Any further and the skill would be affected by [Weakling], making it impossible to discover the pigs.
There was no denying that the Weakling Pigs were exceptional at hiding themselves. There was nothing more suitable for scouting and tracking enemies.
Wei Xiao Bei could then use his telepathic connection to observe the Weakling Pig’s surroundings and grasp the situation of remote locations.
The Weakling Pigs’ flight speed was slightly higher than the High-Temperature Birds. The only problem was their size that caused them to be easily blown astray under strong wind conditions.
Of course, these were only small nuisances.
Once the Weakling Pigs had put some distance between themselves and Wei Xiao Bei, the situation of their surroundings streamed into his mind.
Approximately three dozen Flame Giants were heading toward the World Tree, twelve kilometers to the east. Fifty Flame Giants were marching forward eight kilometers south. A hundred and thirty-four Frost Giants were traveling nine kilometers to the north.
Information from even further away had yet to be fed back to Wei Xiao Bei due to the speed of the Weakling Pig.
Given the current circumstances, it seemed as if many giants were appearing around the World Tree.
Were the giants preparing for something? An all-out offensive?
Soon, these giants heading toward the World Tree were ambushed and attacked.
Giant Wolves, Giant Pythons and even more docile reindeers appeared in their paths, attacking them relentlessly.
Wei Xiao Bei, who had kept his [Electromagnetic Field] activated all this while, could feel an intense wave sweep across his entire body. An intense impulse rose in his heart, causing him to develop a passionate hatred toward the giant, so much so that he wanted to kill them with his own hands.
However, [Indomitable Spirit] activated. The combat records showed that [Indomitable Spirit] had only eliminated part of the effects. Wei Xiao Bei still had a faint impulse within him to kill the giants.
Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes turned toward the towering World Tree. That wave had come from the tree.
Even all ten of the Weakling Pigs had felt that wave.
If that was the case, then the range of the wave was fairly large.
According to his estimations, the wave probably enveloped the entire area beneath the World Tree’s canopy.
Disregarding everything else, just this range and this power to affect the depths of the heart was only possible by something at the World Tree’s level.
In the end, the multiple battles seemed to have attracted the attention of the Einherjars, for they started moving out as well. The Weakling Pigs alone picked up over a dozen armies of Einherjars, some with only a hundred soldiers, others with over a thousand.
These armies allowed the slowly losing World Tree to push the situation back to a stalemate.
Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help but be glad to see this happen.
A large battle like this was always good news for him.
He was alone, after all. Regardless of whether it was the giants or the World Tree’s forces under attack, the battles meant that he had the chance to muddy the waters and profit greatly.
This was particularly crucial now that his reserves of evolution points had dried up and was in dire need of replenishment!
Wei Xiao Bei quickly started getting to work as the war raged on.
He extended his left hand and ten balls of flesh were created. Each one of them was three meters in diameter.
This move immediately exhausted 2000 pieces of flesh from the Life Altar’s flesh reserves.
A ball of this size took long to cultivate.
After an entire minute, the balls of flesh split open and ten Digging Pigs emerged. They grew to seven meters in height after feasting on their shells.
Wei Xiao Bei continued to spew out more flesh threads and cultivate even more Digging Pigs. By the time the flesh reserves were empty, there were over fifty Digging Pigs before him.
This wasn’t the end of it yet. The corpse of the Flame Giant in his storage bracelet was also absorbed and another fifteen Digging Pigs were created.
The appearance of the Digging Pigs was now somewhat different than before.
Apart from the four already finalized foundational creatures, there were still six blank creature templates for Wei Xiao Bei to use. This was more than enough.
As his thoughts started to branch out, the silhouette of a wolf quickly appeared on a blank creature template in his mind.
