Chapter 462: Chapter 462 – Strange Skeleton Bird
If he could bring Kashmir to his side, Wei Xiao Bei could enjoy the benefits of Kashmir’s [Innate Luck].
In truth, this kind of fate-like power was something he did not care about much.
However, after encountering the pencil spirit, dish spirit and other spirits in Cui Hu University, he had received the Curse of Ten Thousand Spirits that gave him bad luck. This allowed him to understand how powerful these fatalistic powers were.
Evil ones would terrify one to death, while good ones will satisfy one to death.
Thus, his main goal now was to see Kashmir.
Following the delay, many battlefields had their battles concluded.
The Flame Giants’ side had achieved some victories, the World Tree’s side either being sent fleeing or was eliminated. Some of the tree’s side had obtained a big victory, and there were also ones that were evenly matched, killing until one side retreats to find weaker opponents.
In short, Wei Xiao Bei commanded his Digging Pig to move through the World Tree area. He had not encountered a fight yet but seen some corpses.
When he encountered a corpse, he would put them away into his storage bracelet.
However, he was soon confronted with a difficult choice.
His storage bracelet had been filled with corpses.
He now needed to make a choice and decided to throw away a portion of the corpses while keeping the better ones.
Initially, he used his great spear to absorb the energy inside the corpses, this way he would not feel as much heartache.
However, he soon encountered a battlefield where there were more than thirty Flame Giant Corpses, while the other side’s monsters had about sixty of them.
It would be great if he had the time and he would not need to be frantic. He had no choice but to use his great spear to absorb the corpses’ energy and hope his great spear might evolve.
However, the Weakling Pig that he had sent everywhere to check the situation quickly sent him some bad news.
A group of more than one thousand Flame Giants and Frost Giants was currently moving his way.
In this thousand giant army, there were even some giants that had grown over thirty meters. Just the fact that other giants did not get too close to them showed how powerful they were.
Sorting things out and leaving quickly was Wei Xiao Bei’s only choice.
He heartachingly left behind the corpses and moved fast.
First, he dumped most of the Giant Wolf corpses and took the Giant Python corpse. Then the remaining free space was allocated for Flame Giant corpses. Finally, right before he left, he had even drawn out the heart blood from the Flame Giants that he was not able to store.
Afterward, the Weakling Pig that was on the lookout for the giant army sent back bad news. From the giant army, more than fifty ten-meter big Skeleton Birds flew out in his direction.
F***!
Although the Weakling Pig could not tell how strong the Skeleton Birds were, just looking at their numbers would tell you that they were not inferior to the Flame Giants.
In other words, there were more than fifty Flame Giants in pursuit of him.
They truly want my life!
Thinking about this, the giants were using some methods to sense the Digging Pig, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Skeleton Birds that were fifty meters away to find him.
No matter the case, I must run!
Wei Xiao Bei was not an idiot. If he continued to bring the Digging Pig with him, it would be impossible for him to escape those Skeleton Birds.
Thus with an order, the forty-nine Digging Pigs ran away in all directions.
On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei lay down on a Digging Pig as he urged it to move toward the World Tree.
Wei Xiao Bei’s split army method had outstanding effects.
After the Digging Pigs ran away, the fifty Skeleton Birds stopped in their tracks and circled in the air.
However, they quickly split in a circle to chase after the Digging Pigs.
From this, it could be seen that the Skeleton Birds were not that smart.
Just from the fact that they were all bones should be enough to tell that they had little to no brain.
To test the battle power of these birds, Wei Xiao Bei urged one of his Digging Pigs to greet one of the Skeleton Birds.
However, the results were tragic.
When the Digging Pig approached, the Skeleton Bird dove down from two hundred meters in the air.
Wei Xiao Bei originally thought that the Skeleton Birds were going to kill the Digging Pig by diving down. He never imagined that when he was about to command the Digging Pig to evade, the Skeleton Bird opened its mouth and let out formless waves at the Digging Pig. Wei Xiao Bei sensed his consciousness become fuzzy, and by the time he snapped out of it, he noticed that the connection between him and the Digging Pig had been cut.
To be more accurate, the Digging Pig had already died.
Isn’t this attack too strange?
Wei Xiao Bei had just felt the strange attack and found out that he had also been affected by the strange attack.
Wei Xiao Bei quickly checked the battle log, but regretfully, perhaps because the attack had spread to Wei Xiao Bei and he did not see it, there were no records in the battle log.
Soon, his digging pigs were picked off one by one by the Skeleton Birds.
However, under the countless attacks from the Skeleton Birds, he was able to see and understand the attack when a Weakling Pig saw it attacking a Giant Wolf.
It was a type of attack that could instantly take away a creature’s life.
The Skeleton Birds were around two meters long, and four meters with their wings expanded. Between wing bones, there was a very thick layer of membrane that was probably used by it to fly. Its entire body was made up of black bones and its eye socket glowed with a blue flame that looked corporeal, even wind could not extinguish it.
Every time it let out an attack, it would open its mouth, but what truly attracted Wei Xiao Bei’s attention was that the blue flame in its eye sockets also glowed stronger. After the attack was successful, the blue flame would appear as if it had eaten a tonic as it soared up and became deeper in color.
Just this was enough to allow Wei Xiao Bei to use [Deductive Reasoning] to find the truth.
The answer he arrived at was that the Skeleton Bird’s attack was targeted toward the soul or vitality of a creature.
Otherwise, it was impossible to also affect Wei Xiao Bei.
Although Wei Xiao Bei did not receive a fatal attack, his Digging Pig had substituted him in receiving the attack. Not only did the connection between them disappear, but the Digging Pig had even melted and could not be controlled. This was per his judgment.
In truth, he could have come to the same answer if he used up more time instead of the skill.
The reason was simple, the blue flame in the Skeleton Bird’s eye socket was too clear and he was not a stranger to this kind of thing.
This thing should be called the flame of the soul!
In numerous novels and games, it was said that undead would have cold flames of the soul ignited in their eyes. Their strength was also tied to the color of the flames.
Moreover, higher ranking undead would all possess abilities that attack the opponent’s soul.
Things like instant death or a banshee howl were included in this.
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei was a bit afraid of these kinds of attacks.
This could not be helped. He might be able to dodge the enemy’s attack, but one he was not able to dodge it, then he might instantly die.
Thus, if it was not essential, he was not willing to go provoke them.
If he could, he’d rather the Life Altar wake up from its slumber and allow him to breed more creatures to besiege these Skeleton Birds.
After all, he had judged that the bones of the Skeleton Birds were loose. This also meant that their defenses were weaker. If they were attacked, they might be easy to heavily injure.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei regrets that he did not use enhanced modulation to give the Weakling Pig a powerful attack. Otherwise, once the Weakling Pig quietly got on the Skeleton Bird’s body, it could let out a powerful attack that could kill the Skeleton Birds.
Naturally, this was only his delusion.
The reason that the Weakling Pig was never found was thanks to its [Weakling] skill. If it had a powerful attack, why would it even be called a weakling?
Perhaps the [Weakling] skill would even disappear, then that would be tragic.
After all, the skill had just appeared by chance. Wei Xiao Bei estimated that even if the Life Altar evolved, it might not be able to breed a creature with this skill.
Those Weakling Pigs had already split up and looked at their Skeleton Bird. There were even two Weakling Pigs that had taken the chance to get on their bodies after they dived down.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei was continuously observing their method of attack.
Naturally, he did not stop and let a Skeleton Bird catch up to him and continued to flee.
At this time, the Digging Pig he was riding on was using its fastest speed.
The only problem was that if the Digging Pig had not activated its skills, then how could it outrun the Skeleton Bird that was flying in the air.
Thus, when one of the Skeleton Birds marked the Digging Pig Wei Xiao Bei was riding on, the distance between the two sides decreased.
Wei Xiao Bei continued to calculate the distance between them.
From his previous observation, these Skeleton Birds would require a thirty-meter distance to activate their attack. In other words, being thirty meters away was safe. If a safety net was placed in, a fifty-meter distance should be just right.
