Chapter 240 – Bizarre Yet Beautiful Creature

As for the remaining 30 evolution points, Wei Xiao Bei placed them into his [Release Electricity]’s electric current, increasing it from 196 milliamperes to 211.

Touching a person with 100 milliamperes for three seconds was enough to make them go into cardiac arrest. On the other hand, 211 milliamperes could deal a great amount of damage. With this, Wei Xiao Bei’s [Release Electricity] had begun to become more lethal.

Like that, Wei Xiao Bei had used up his evolution points.

Afterwards, he tried to feel the changes in his body. Although his strength had increased to 25 points and his agility increased to 21.5 points, Wei Xiao Bei reaching negative jing in Guo Shu had allowed the gap between the two attributes to shorten.

As long as he continued to place the evolution points that he would earn in the future to his agility attribute, then the impact to his battle strength would decrease.

After dealing with his evolution points, Wei Xiao Bei felt a growling sound come from his stomach, as hunger began to appear inside of him.

After increasing his status and regrowing part of his arm, the amount of nutrition that he needed to replenish was big.

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but rejoice. Luckily, he had obtained the Small Holding Bag. Otherwise, when he activated [Elementary Power Burst], the strap of a bag might have broke along with his clothes due to the swelling of muscles.

If it was like that, then it would be a lot harder for him to find food.

He took out a piece of jerky and began gnawing at it.

After eating five pieces, he felt thirsty.

The weather was so cold that there was only a bit of moisture in the air. Thus, his [Moisture Absorption] was unreliable. In order to settle the issue of drinking water, Wei Xiao Bei had no choice but to grab the gray snow and stuff it into his mouth.

Pooh!

When the gray snow entered his mouth, he felt the thick taste of dust.

Wei Xiao Bei did not even try to bother describing the taste as he spat it back out.

Although Wei Xiao Bei could endure eating raw meat, worms, and other things when he was a soldier, that was part of the training. He still wished to enjoy his life if he could.

Wei Xiao Bei began searching around him and quickly found a stone that was as big as a bowl.

At this moment, the sharp twin spearhead had finally displayed its use for the first time. He had turned the stone into a bowl.

Then he placed a chunk of gray snow in it and placed his right hand on top of it. A spark of electricity flashed, quickly melting the snow by the high temperature and turning it into gray-colored water.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei ignored the cost in stamina in using electricity to produce a high temperature like this.

The water was still a bit gray after the dust settled at the bottom, but he did not care about it and drank the water to quench his thirst.

Afterwards, he repeated the process until he could hear water sway inside his stomach.

After drinking enough water, Wei Xiao Bei could now endure longer.

Naturally, if he lost a lot of blood, it would become a different matter.

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei was now full. He observed his surroundings and did not notice any other special landmarks, so he decided to continue walking towards the towering tree.

After being full, the coldness that he felt from being half naked no longer had an effect on him.

He noticed that as he got closer to the big tree, the thick snow on the ground became thinner.

This was something normal people would have a hard time noticing.

After walking for 531 meters, the thickness of the snow decreased from 36 centimeters to 33 centimeters.

Moreover, the air temperature had also increased to above zero.

The road in front of him was so long that he did not anticipate it.

After walking 10 kilometers, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that the size of the tree did not change from his vision.

This made Wei Xiao Bei squint as he assessed that the tree was not less than 1000 meters high.

In truth, ever since he saw the Big Tree Spirit, Wei Xiao Bei had a sense of unease towards trees.

After all, anyone would be unwilling to be bound by tree roots and be squeezed to death, becoming the tree’s nutrients.

However, Wei Xiao Bei was now cautious as he suspected that if he went the wrong way, there might be great danger.

Thus, he could only helplessly advance towards the big tree.

After walking for a few more kilometers, the gray snow had already disappeared, exposing the muddy ground with soft shoots slowly growing in them.

Seeing the thinly spread greenery in front of him, he could not help but be bewildered.

After entering the Dust World, Wei Xiao Bei had concluded a few rules of it.

First, the Dust World had vast lands of ruined projections of buildings in the real world.

This was hard to doubt.

This was confirmed by him when the apartment street that he previously lived in appeared as the same one in the Dust World albeit ruined.

Moreover, when the apartments were demolished in the real world, the apartments in the Dust World turned to dust.

Additionally, there were various super powers in the Dust World such as the Bai Ta Hills, the Shing Wong Temple, the Fire Dragon (youth), the Citizen of Long Bo, and many others.

Moreover, the surroundings of where these super powers stayed were different from other places in the Dust World. One of the basic characteristics would be that environment would have much more vibrant colors.

For example, the place where the Fire Dragon slept had formed a mountain range and a desert.

As Wei Xiao Bei thought back, the desert would definitely not be formed without reason.

In reality, let alone Cui Hu City, there were no deserts in the entire province.

Lake Cui, Bai Ta Hills, and even the grassland where the Big Tree Spirit appeared were all like this.

In terms of the real world, these places could be called lands blessed by feng shui as compared to other places in the Dust World.

The place that Wei Xiao Bei was at the moment was similar to those mentioned.

In the Dust World, it easy to imagine how hard it was to see a field of greenery.

As he advanced, Wei Xiao Bei concluded that the big tree might be the strongest existence in this place.

If it was not like that, how could the grass and the soft shoots increase by so much as he advanced?

It was easy to imagine how strong it was just by the area of its influence.

As the grass increased, Wei Xiao Bei could see some shrubs and small flowers with berries sometimes mixed in.

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but be interested in them.

He might normally appear to be violent on the surface, but he was still gentle inside.

He extended his hand and picked a few berries. After throwing them inside his mouth, the sweet and sour juices immediately burst forth, making his eyebrows stretch apart.

The berry should be a kind of cowberry. The taste was not bad and if he used it on the jerky, he could enhance its taste.

Who knew if this was an occupational disease he obtained after being trained by Huang Jun, but Wei Xiao Bei began to analyze the taste of the berry.

The so-called cowberry was in fact a shrub.

There were many kinds of them, but the most common colors were blue and red.

The blue kinds were more commonly known as blueberries.

Blueberries were one the favored berries in western households, while grapes were considered a necessity.

Cowberries were strong against cold weather. They could even survive up to 50 degrees below zero. Their distribution was mostly in the Northern Hemisphere of the world and at the summit of tropical mountains. In Europe, these berries were mainly spread in the Scandinavian Peninsula within the borders of Norway and Sweden.

Within the borders of China, many dishes also used cowberries as seasoning.

Cantonese cuisine was one among the many cuisines.

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei picked all of the ripe red cowberries and placed them inside his Small Holding Bag.

After previously turning a large portion of the Dang Kang meat into jerky, a portion of the Small Holding Bag had opened up, so placing the berries in it was not a problem.

In truth, finding seasoning in the Dust World was a difficult matter to accomplish, let alone seasoning that complemented meat.

Thus Wei Xiao Bei decided to get a bit more.

Because of this decision, the shrubs along his path had received a lot of damage. Their descendants had been picked and pulled by the greedy Wei Xiao Bei and placed in an unknown space.

Suddenly, Wei Xiao Bei felt that something was wrong, as if something was looking at him. He immediately perked up his ears, causing them to twitch.

This was one of the methods he developed to increase his hearing ability after his perception increased to 20 points.

It was difficult to master but very useful.

As his ears twitched, he picked up the sound of wings flapping against the wind.

There.

Wei Xiao Bei moved his eyes onto a shrub.

On a blooming flower on the shrub, there was a small creature staring at him.

He concentrated on it.

With a distance of more than 30 meters between them, Wei Xiao Bei instantly made out its figure.

It was a bizarre yet beautiful creature.

From its outer appearance, it did not look different from a human, but it shrunk to the size of less than 10 centimeters. The only other thing different was its dragonfly-like wings on its back. Its wings flapped so fast that it could hover in mid-air.
