Chapter 382: Chapter 382 – Change! Desertification!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Yurif was a veteran amongst veterans, and the time he had served in the army was only two years less than Steven.

Therefore, if veterans like him rejoined society and wished to perform heinous deeds, normal people simply could not stop them.

Although most of their battle experience was with modern firearms, some of that skill carried over to other types of weapons.

Wei Xiao Bei ordered Steven to search for and destroy Sacred Beetle Descendants but to stay within a two-kilometer radius from where they currently stood. Satisfied, he then headed toward the blazing mountain range.

Before the soldiers left the Dust World, Wei Xiao Bei needed to kill more Yong and bathe in their blood to upgrade his two special skills.

After all, he had to deal with the problem of what would happen when the soldiers returned back to the real world. If he couldn’t think of a solution the soldiers would become useless as they would be imprisoned by the US government.

While running, Wei Xiao Bei was using [Response Search] to its maximum potential, even if doing so decreased the amount of time he could stay in the Dust World.

However, this was not a problem as all he needed to do was kill Yongs.

Soon, a Yong that was in the midst of catching a Giant Black Scorpion had appeared in distance.

When he saw the Yong, the other party also noticed him.

Wei Xiao Bei immediately became stunned. The Yong was actually flapping its wings to run away instead of attacking him.

What is going on?

Wei Xiao Bei immediately smelled himself and could not help but hit himself on the head.

He had forgotten that he had bathed in Yong’s blood twice. Such a strong smell had traveled with the wind, so the Yong was aware of the danger and could even sense hidden killing intent coming from Wei Xiao Bei.

The Yong was not stupid enough to attack someone who was powerful enough to kill its kin.

Although it was running away Wei Xiao Bei did not give up, pursuing closely behind it.

If it was a Scarlet Pheasant, then it would have already escaped from him.

However, the Yong was not very fast and as Wei Xiao Bei continued to chase it he was able to consistently close the gap between them.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei approaching closely behind it, the Yong immediately let out a shriek and let go of the Giant Black Scorpion in an attempt to increase its speed.

However, it would have a hard time escaping now that he had marked it.

Wei Xiao Bei was able to quickly reach the Yong, closing the distance between them to less than four meters.

Wei Xiao Bei made a slight movement and raised his right hand. A spear suddenly appeared, acting like a snake leaping at its prey, shooting straight at the Yong.

The great spear had run right through the Yong and it only lost its momentum once it was buried deep in the creature.

After suffering such a strong attack, the Yong could not fly anymore, letting out a miserable cry and dropping to the ground.

Suddenly, more than ten Yongs had appeared ahead.

There was no doubt that these Yongs were summoned by the Yong that he had injured.

In truth, if Wei Xiao Bei was still a 2-Star Creature, he would definitely run away if he encountered a group of Yongs this large.

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not run away, pulling out his Hard Metal Jian and charging toward the Yong that were moving towards him.

The thick stench of Yong blood on Wei Xiao Bei’s body was able to cause a few of the Yong to turn around and flee, but some of them had a group mentality. When the numbers of creatures reached a certain amount, even ants would be brave enough to face an elephant!

The distance between them quickly shrunk.

Draw!

At this point, even Wei Xiao Bei had a hard time judging the distance between them, relying on [Reactive Rebound] to attack the Yong.

Bang!

A dull sound rang out.

Wei Xiao Bei was sent flying back, burying in the sand as he landed.

However, the Yong he hit appeared to be in an even more miserable state. Wei Xiao Bei’s strike had crushed its legs and directly struck its abdomen, causing a hole to open up as fresh blood flowed out.

In less than two seconds, the Yong had collapsed to the ground.

Wei Xiao Bei got back up and once again began attacking. In less than a minute, Wei Xiao Bei had heavily injured two Yongs. This kind of power was already quite good for a 3-Star Creature.

However, the remaining Yongs did not pay attention to this. They continued to swoop at Wei Xiao Bei, relying on their weight to smash him into a meat patty.

Wei Xiao Be could destroy steel, but it did not mean that his body was made of steel!

The Yongs dived down, using the force of gravity to strengthen their attacks. If they did not slow down in order to be able to fly back up, then it was possible that they would exceed the force of a Dang Kang’s attack.

Naturally, if it was like that, the Yong would be able to smash him to death.

However, Wei Xiao Bei still continued bravely attacking even after seeing the Yongs’ movements, as if he wanted to bring them down with him.

Even if his body was in pain, Wei Xiao Bei still applied force to his arms and legs and jumped out to dodge the Yongs’ attacks.

Hearing a Yong smash to the ground, Wei Xiao Bei ignored the pain in his body and attacked it.

Draw! Smash! Draw! Smash!

Time and time again, Wei Xiao Bei only used these two moves to attack. Whenever a Yong was down, he would attack it by smashing down.

In less than two minutes, Wei Xiao Bie had smashed three Yongs to the ground. Naturally, the most unfortunate ones were two other Yongs that had been hit with a heavy strike and vibrations, causing them to die an instant.

However, the battle did not end there. The remaining seven Yongs had jumped at Wei Xiao Bei and then flapped their wings to go back in the air.

Essentially, it was chaos.

On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei had allowed [Reactive Rebound] to take full control of his body. His jian continuously smashed down, as any creature that came in front of him was definitely an enemy!

Eventually, the remaining, injured Yongs managed to escape.

Wei Xiao Bei could not care about the runaway Yongs, turning around and walking toward the Yong that had been pierced by the great spear.

If he did not get to it then the blood in its body would soon run out.

He grabbed the great spear and lifted up the Yong. Afterward, he made the Yong blood flow down the great spear and shower down on him.

A familiar, corrosive pain spread all over Wei Xiao Bei’s body.

In the blink of an eye, he approached the second Yong he killed and repeated his earlier actions, bathing in its blood.

After being bathed in Yong’s blood, again and again, Wei Xiao Bei’s body gradually changed.

Eventually, after bathing for the third time, Wei Xiao Bei felt his entire body began to itch, though he could endure it for now.

Soon, changes occurred to the two special skills in his status panel.

[Dryness Endurance] and [Moisture Absorption] have leveled up from elementary to intermediate.

There was no doubt that after leveling to intermediate, these two abilities had become stronger. [Dryness Endurance] allowed him to store more fluids and increased his endurance to dryness, while the effects of [Moisture Absorption] were much more apparent.

Wei Xiao Bei could feel the pleasure as his skin absorbed the moisture in the air. It was as if a heavy long beard that had been shaved off by an electric razor.

However, this was not enough.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Xiao Bei raised up the fourth Yong and bathed in its blood.

Fifth, sixth, seventh.

When he bathed under the seventh Yong’s blood, his special skills had become advanced.

It followed the same rules of leveling up as before.

In truth, after bathing for so long under Yong’s blood, Wei Xiao Bei could almost not feel his skin anymore.

This feeling that was like he was being bathed in acid was not a pleasurable feeling. Although it could not compare to the pain from muscle reconstruction, the itch repeatedly interweaved with the pain. If a normal person experienced this, their mind would have been broken and they would be begging for release.

Wei Xiao Bei did not have the tendency to give up easily, so he could only grit his teeth and endure.

There were six more Yongs.

He quickly went over.

Wei Xiao Bei comforted himself and continued.

He was able to quickly go through the Yongs and finally reached the last one.

After bathing in its blood, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but smile, as the pain turned to pleasure.

When he looked at his status panel, it had changed once again.

Flame Resistance (Basic): After continuously bathing in Yong’s blood, Dryness Endurance has changed. The host resists halved damage from flames under two hundred degrees Celcius and the host resists a third of the damage from flames above 200 degrees Celcius. To level up this skill, the host needs to bathe in the blood of monsters with a higher rank.

Desertification (Basic): After continuously bathing in Yong’s blood, Moisture Absorption has changed. The host can now absorb all fluids within a meter radius. This ability’s effect is not limited to air and creatures. To level up this skill, the host needs to bathe in the blood of monsters with a higher rank.

There was no doubt that after changing, the two abilities had become stronger!

First was [Flame Resistance], which could reduce damage from fire. For Wei Xiao Bei, this was very powerful against creatures that used flames.

As for [Desertification], it would not be inferior to [Release Electricity] if used properly!
