Chapter 131 – 4-Star Disaster Creature!

Wei Xiao Bei had already anticipated that there would be difficulties on the way back.

After all, the shockwave caused by the fire dragon had sent countless Sacred Beetle Descendants flying. There were even Sacred Beetles among them.

These Sacred Beetles and Sacred Beetle Descendants were everywhere, so there were bound to be a few of them on his way back.

However, even if he had prepared his heart for it, Wei Xiao Bei still had a hard time against Sacred Beetle Descendants that popped out from the sand.

These insects that loved to fight in groups had just lost their leader, as a result, they started fighting each other.

Wei Xiao Bei even saw these Sacred Beetle Descendants fighting each other, and so he could easily pick off Sacred Beetle Descendants while lying in ambush.

Those Sacred Beetle Descendants had been stepped to death by him.

On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei was not able to defend against the Sacred Beetle Descendants that had buried themselves in the sand. From time to time, he would be left with painful bites from them.

After walking just 200 meters, Wei Xiao Bei had been bitten eight times.

But he had also killed all eight of them, earning 40 evolution points.

However, his foot was already dripping with blood, to the point that it was hard to directly look at it.

Wei Xiao Bei stepped on another Sacred Beetle Descendant and inspected his surroundings before sitting on the ground.

If this situation continued on, this long return trip would become even longer. He thought of trying to just directly return to his room from the desert.

Although he knew that he could return back to his room in reality, without returning to his room in The Dust World, the period of him falling asleep and returning to reality was dangerous. This was especially so as he was in the desert filled with Sacred Beetle Descendants.

If he made a single mistake, his body would be filled with holes by the time he returned to reality.

In order to quickly resolve this problem, he placed 200 points into his reasoning, increasing it to 12.08 points.

Although this number could still not compare to famous detectives, it was at the very least at the level of experienced police officer.

After using 200 points, Wei Xiao Bei received a huge migraine. He felt that his thinking ability had become better.

After pondering for a while, Wei Xiao Bei found a way to get out of this dilemma.

His strength was like a giant compared to those Sacred Beetle Descendants. However, it was hard to find the critters once they hid in the sand. Moreover, they were better at hiding than the Giant Black Scorpions.

A small amount of carelessness would make Wei Xiao Bei fall into their trap.

Wei Xiao Bei looked at his attributes and skills once over. His release electricity skill was his best way to defend against the Sacred Beetle Descendants’ sneak attacks.

However, without increasing the voltage and electric current to the point of being able to release it in midair, the Sacred Beetle Descendants would be able to bite him before they were shocked.

His other abilities were even worse as none of them fit the situation.

The only one that seemed to be of use was his perception attribute.

Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and began putting points into his perception.

In reality, his 11 points in perception was not a low amount for a normal human.

In an extremely quiet place, Wei Xiao Bei would be able to hear any sound from 200 meters away. However, in the desert, the sand could absorb the sound. This decreased the effectiveness of the perception ability.

As his evolution points decreased, his perception increased until 15 points.

It was not that Wei Xiao Bei did not want to increase it to the limit, but because there was a limit to his evolution points, so he could not just carelessly use them up on one attribute.

Next, he placed his attention on his intuition and placed 300 evolution points.

In Wei Xiao Bei’s point of view, intuition was much more important than perception when venturing into The Dust World.

A stronger intuition would allow him to foresee danger, and this point alone, was enough for Wei Xiao Bei to place it in importance.

Being able to foresee danger would allow him to evade the danger and preserve his life.

In total, he had used up 700 evolution points to increase his perception to 15 points and his intuition to 14 points. This had increased his awareness to 13.24 points.

In truth, following the increase in his perception, Wei Xiao Bei’s five senses became sharper.

Eh?

Wei Xiao Bei placed his attention on the ground five meters away from him.

From that place, he could hear a slight rubbing sound and the sounds of something slowly moving!

Wei Xiao Bei had even smelled a slight fishy smell from within the wind. This was the scent of the Sacred Beetle Descendant.

No.

In reality, with Wei Xiao Bei at the center, there were four Sacred Beetle Descendants that were slowly crawling towards him all in a 30 meter radius..

His great spear moved like a rainbow and shot forth. After thrusting a few times in the sand, the four Sacred Beetle Descendants that were planning to ambush him had become corpses.

As long as Wei Xiao Bei noticed them, it was impossible for the Sacred Beetle Descendants to escape him.

Wei Xiao Bei nodded his head, satisfied in his decision of placing his evolution points into his perception. He placed the great spear on his shoulders and stretch his now healed foot before moving forward.

After his perception increased, the path back to his apartment was a lot more relaxed.

Every Sacred Beetle Descendant that prepared to ambush him was killed in a single strike.

Perhaps due to the heavy stench on him, or perhaps due to the bloodied great spear, the Sacred Beetle Descendants had started to run away from him, opening up his path.

Wei Xiao Bei did not chase after them. He had a premonition that coveting those evolution points would not be a good thing.

Not long after, his gut feeling was proven true.

On the slope of a sand dune close by, a ball of flame was currently doing a combination of flying and diving down close to the ground.

Under the slope, there was a group of Sacred Beetle Descendants and even a Sacred Beetle with broken shell baring their fangs towards the sky.

The ball of fire was a Scarlet Pheasant.

Seeing that it had not lost its speed, Wei Xiao Bei quickly moved away from it.

Even though the Scarlet Pheasant was injured, there was still the Sacred Beetle and thousands of Sacred Beetle Descendants around it.

If Wei Xiao Bei joined the fray, he would probably be immediately surrounded and killed in just a few minutes.

This was too dangerous. Even if the benefits were huge, it was impossible for Wei Xiao Bei to join the fray.

Because of this, he continued on the following path back, and the amount of monsters Wei Xiao Bei encountered was not small.

The shockwave caused by the fire dragon had sent countless monsters flying everywhere. Some of them were injured, some in perfect condition, and some even died from the fall.

However, other than the Sacred Beetle Descendants, Wei Xiao Bei would try to move away from other monsters the first instant he saw them.

Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei did not encounter any great danger as he left the desert. The most dangerous moment was when he found himself being chased by seven Fire Crows, but luckily, he was still able to escape from them in the end.

Wei Xiao Bei left the desert and returned to the streets, and finally relaxed when he saw the familiar buildings.

Compared to the danger-filled desert, the safe streets were the best.

After getting over the wall and returning to his apartment building, Wei Xiao Bei’s mood had improved. The time he had left inside The Dust World should be more than an hour.

After lying down on his bed, he looked at the battlelog which he had not looked at for some time.

Battlelog:

……

4-Star Disaster Creature, Fire Dragon (young) turned over.

A shockwave with confusion effect was created.

……

12.95 point willpower decreased effects of confusion.

……

Fire Dragon (young)? A 4-Star Disaster Creature!

The Fire Dragon just turning over was able to create such a disaster.

If it turned over like that in the real world, then it probably would have had the same effect as a small atomic bomb.

As for any more information, nothing other than its name showed up even when Wei Xiao Bei concentrated on it.

However, it was truly terrifying. A Fire Dragon that had not yet matured was already so powerful, what more would a mature one be.

After sighing slightly, Wei Xiao Bei trained his breathing techniques and calmed down his mind. Afterwards, he stood beside his bed and formed his stance. His consciousness sunk deep as he focused on his Dantian and made the Qi circulate.

The Qi inside his Dantian was something that could grow by itself even if he did not train, but its growth would be at a much slower rate.

However, even if it was like this, the Qi had already become quite strong after a long period of time. With a light nudge, the Qi flowed through Wei Xiao Bei’s blood channels and moved towards the Yin Jian Acupuncture point.

In this process, he still felt a bit of pain as the Qi passed through the newly opened blood channel.

This meant that the blood channel had not yet stabilized just like how in a newly dredged river, sludge would usually appear at this period of time.

This blood channel had just been unblocked so it was still easy for it to shrink again. If Wei Xiao Bei did not send Qi in by himself, then the blood channel would close by itself and completely close up again, wasting his effort in opening them.

As a result, for a Guo Shu Expert, circulating their Qi everyday was something indispensable to their life.

Wei Xiao Bei was much more diligent during this period, but it was impossible to stabilize it in such a short period of time, so he could only do it bit by bit.

After his Qi entered the Yin Jian Acupuncture Point, it had decreased by more than 20 percent.

The Yin Jiao Acupuncture Point was a completely opened acupuncture point, so it was able to produce Qi in huge quantities. Moreover, it was able to gather the Qi around it.

Naturally, compared to the Dantian, the Yin Jiao Acupuncture Point produced lesser Qi.

When the Qi entered the Yin Jiao Acupuncture Point and circulated once, the Qi would increase again, and in just a few seconds it returned back to its original state. As Wei Xiao Bei urged it forward, it moved towards the next acupuncture point, the Shen Que Acupuncture Point.

The blood channel that Wei Xiao Bei was moving on was the Ren Channel.

In wuxia novels, the Ren Channel was something that was widely used.

The Dantian was also an acupuncture point that was below the navel. The Yin Jiao Acupuncture point was also below the navel but above the Dantian.

The Shen Que Acupuncture Point was at the center of the navel.

These three acupuncture points were the most common points in acupuncture therapy and were mainly used to cure diarrhea, stomach ache and other illnesses.

However, during the process of moving Qi through the blood channels, the Dantian was the main supply of Qi. If the Dantian was injured, it would be hard to train in Nei Gong or internal force.

Moreover, the Shen Que Acupuncture Point had the effect of strengthening the body and rejuvenating it. So, it was easy to imagine how important these were.

Compared to the flow from the Dantian to the Yin Jiao Acupuncture Point, moving qi from the Yin Jiao Acupuncture Point to the Shen Que Acupuncture Point was much more harder.

When the Qi reached the Shen Que Acupuncture Point, only less than 30 percent remained.

By slightly nudging the impurities in the Shen Qu Acupuncture Points, the amount of Qi had decreased further, turning them back to uncontrollable Qi.

Afterwards, this uncontrollable Qi would once again gather in his Dantian. Under Wei Xiao Bei’s guidance, the Qi would again, become controllable Qi inside it.

A strand of Qi circled in his Dantian and grew back to its original size. Under Wei Xiao Bei’s urging, the Qi once again flowed through his blood channel.

This time, the amount of pain from moving to the Yin Jiao Acupuncture Point had decreased. The Qi loss had also decreased. By stopping the Qi in the Yin Jian Acupuncture Point, it had quickly increased again and charged towards the Shen Que Acupuncture Point.

The pain Wei Xiao Bei had been feeling all throughout this process had made his forehead fill with beads of sweat.

He repeatedly moved Qi to the acupuncture point and gathered Qi, the amount of pain easily exceeding what a normal person could endure.

It was no wonder that the amount of people who trained martial arts in the impoverished past was as countless as oxen hair. On the contrary, the abundant modern society had too few people training martial arts.

Willpower!

Without willpower and patience, no matter how high a person’s innate skill was, they would not be able to be successful in martial training. There were already a lot of people who gave up halfway.

In current society, wealth was like a greenhouse that had inverted the relationship between the birthrate and death rate. However, this had decreased the modern man’s willpower.

There were too many examples for this.

After circulating Qi more than 10 times, the Shen Que Acupuncture Point was cleared of impurities.

At this time, a surge of Qi flowed into his Shen Que Acupuncture Point and Wei Xiao Bei felt as if his abdomen was about to leak. If he had not clenched his butt cheeks tight, something would have probably shot out.

Huu!

After having his Qi circulate three times, his consciousness floated back up.

Wei Xiao Bei lightly sighed. The sleepy feeling had rushed into his mind. Wei Xiao Bei frowned as he slowly fell asleep.

“Fight as we’re ordered, do as we’re told……”

The imposing alarm sound had woken Wei Xiao Bei up from his slumber.

After grasping the phone and turning off the alarm, Wei Xiao Bei frowned as he felt something cold in his pants.

Fuck!

I shat in my pants!

Wei Xiao Bei embarrassingly went to the bathroom and did his business. Afterwards, he walked out of the bathroom naked.

Wei Xiao Bei had already known that this would happen, but when it actually happened, he was caught unaware.

Luckily, he was inside his room, so no one else knew. If other people found out about it, he would definitely not be able to show his face around the neighborhood anymore.
