The City of Terror

 If it was any other normal person, jumping from a height of 70 meters without any safety measures was the same as suicide.

 Wei Xiao Bei was satisfied with the result of his jump.

 His fractured arms healed in less than a minute. His fingers were also quickly recovering.

 Although the bones in his fingers were all broken, they were a lot smaller than other parts of his body, and so they recovered much faster.

 In just two minutes, Wei Xiao Bei had distanced himself from the hotel by 5000 meters! His speed was still increasing!

 When Wei Xiao Bei could not feel the evil possession anymore, he began to slow down.

 Crackle, crackle. Because of the previous electrical discharge, Wei Xiao Bei"s stomach began to grumble. The familiar feeling of hunger once again returned.

 Along the way, on either side of the dilapidated road, were rows of derelict buildings, which created a strange appearance. There were modern steel structure buildings and ancient wooden houses blended together on the two sides, which to other people would appear as though they had entered a world of cartoons.

 Wei Xiao Bei had seen this phenomenon a lot of times, thus he did not feel that this was strange.

 After making a turn, he identified the right direction and began slowly walking toward Mt.Song. At the same time, he took out some of the lowest quality meat from his storage bracelet to satiate his hunger.

 After devouring more than twenty pieces of barbecued meat, the piercing hunger dissipated, but he was still left feeling unsatisfied.

 The meat he ate only recovered stamina and was of the lowest quality. Wei Xiao Bei checked his storage bracelet and roughly calculated that there were two more pieces.

 He only had about 30 portions of congee, other higher-quality dishes, and meat that could recover both stamina and mental strength.

 Without him realizing, the amount of food supply in his storage bracelet had actually decreased.

 However, as he pondered deeply, he remembered that he had gifted his disciples, the American soldiers, and other people with a lot of dishes. After all, these dishes were not ordinary dishes when used in the Dust World as they allowed them to continue fighting and even escape.

 I should prepare more food, and at the same time clear up my storage bracelet.

 Wei Xiao Bei took a look and saw that the majority of the s.p.a.ce inside the bracelet was occupied by the Flame Giant corpse. He began to hesitate. He still had some psychological aversion toward eating humanoid creatures.

 He was like a n.o.ble that had always eaten top-cla.s.s dishes. If he was asked to eat pork intestines, he would not be able to do so for a period of time, no matter how strong willpower.

 Since he was still averse to eating such food, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but look at the remaining things inside his storage bracelet.

 After all, the Flame Giant corpses were too big and occupied a lot of s.p.a.ce, which gave him difficulty when using the storage bracelet. He needed to clean it up for once.

 Save someone?

 Right, I almost forgot that I came here to save someone. s.h.i.+ Yong Ping said that he lost his disciple when he left Mt. Song in the Dust World.

 But, the range is simply too big.

 Wei Xiao Bei did not think that he would be lucky enough to find s.h.i.+ Yan Kun upon just entering the Dust World.

 In simpler terms, he needed to prepare for a long search, meaning that he had to be economical with his time.

 Wei Xiao Bei prepared to search the place, but first he would deal with the Flame Giant corpses. He would not turn them into roasted meat yet, but at the very least, he planned to cut them up first to roast later.

 In front of him was a building that was in better condition than most.

 Wei Xiao Bei would use wood from the building as firewood. Furthermore, the empty lot beside him was the best place to roast meat.

 After walking a few steps, Wei Xiao Bei arrived at the wooden building.

 However, when he was about to tear down the building, he heard a female shriek close by, “Go away! Go away!!…”

 The sharp high pitched shriek was accompanied by sobbing.

 Wei Xiao Bei currently felt the embodiment of the quote "A man once bitten by a snake will for ten years be shy at a rope".

 Once he heard the shrieking voice, he immediately recalled the terrifying ordeal at the hotel.

 He had been truly startled.

 Wei Xiao Bei stomped on the ground and leaped up like a bird. He ran along the wall of the wooden building and once he reached the roof, he immediately looked in the direction of the female voice.

 This could not be helped. This place was a lot stranger than the Dust World back in Cui Hu City.

 Wei Xiao Bei could not even detect the small girl back at the hotel with his [Response Pulse]. His eyes were a lot better for it.

 Luckily, a long time pa.s.sed, allowing Wei Xiao Bei to become accustomed to his [Enlightenment] skill.

 A girl appeared, surrounded by two bushes that were less than one meter, each with a head-on top.

 The girl was holding brandished a broom handle. The two monsters appeared to not dare attack her, but the girl seemed to have almost no stamina left and could not hold on anymore.

 Wei Xiao Bei rubbed his chin and felt that this was quite familiar.

 Right, wasn"t this the girl that wanted to charge into my room?

 How could she have entered the Dust World?

 In Wei Xiao Bei"s eyes, both the girl and the two monster"s status appeared in his mind.

 After seeing their status and making a comparison, Wei Xiao Bei was speechless.

 Although the two Sweet Wormwood monsters looked startling, judging from their status, Xiao Bai Ling, who was holding only a broom handle should be able to crush those monsters.

 You are a 1-Star Elite Creature! The two monsters are only normal 1-Star Creatures.

 Other than vitality, Xiao Bao Ling had a complete advantage, in terms of strength and agility.

 However, from this, it could be seen that Xiao Bai Ling"s family was poor. Her family lived in a remote mountain area. Ever since she learned how to walk, she needed to help the family work in the fields.

 Since then, her strength and agility had reached the level of a normal male.

 However, Wei Xiao Bei also knew that no matter how much her status exceeded a normal girl"s, she was still a normal girl.

 If she could kill the monsters without changing expression, then it would be even stranger.

 But then again, Wei Xiao Bei was curious about her special skill.

 Full Concentration: This ability was gained by Xiao Bai Ling after entering the Dust World. After activating this ability, whether in battle, in learning, or in research, Xiao Bai Ling could command all of her attention and from there achieve the corresponding amplitude effect. This ability was related to perception.

 Although there was no direct increase in fighting power, it could a.s.sist in fighting, learning, or research.

 Battle?

 Wei Xiao Bei shook his head. Although there was a precedent in Zhu Xin Yi, Wei Xiao Bei had no plans to become a babysitter again.

 This girl had the gift of becoming a research worker. This was especially the case since two of her skills were already at an expert level; one was [Bioresearch] and the other was [Agricultural Planning]. With the addition of her special skill, her growth would be boundless.

 I can try to save her.

 After using [Enlightenment], the two monsters immediately stiffened. They did not budge at all. They felt as if their souls were being stared at by someone.

 On the other hand, Xiao Bai Ling"s body also trembled, causing her to drop the broom handle.

 When the two monsters came to, they saw that Xiao Bai Ling panicked as she picked up the broom handle. They suddenly became delighted and swung their branches at her.

 “Ahh!”

 Xiao Bai Ling was startled. She crouched down as she struggled to grab the broom handle. She did not even think of running away.

 It must be said that her agility far exceeded that of the Sweet Wormwood. If she had run away earlier, she would have been able to escape.

 However, she did not have any battle experience at all and would only become prey.

 The branches of the monster immediately pierced her arm, and she grimaced in pain. Then, she saw the green branches suddenly become red as her blood was being sucked by the monsters.

 Many people would have become dizzy after being drained of blood.

 Xiao Bai Ling was one such person. After seeing her blood being sucked, she became frightened and infuriated, but she immediately became dizzy and fainted.

 Afterward, the two monsters inserted more branches into her body.

 If no-one intervened, then Xiao Bai Ling would have turned into a dried-up corpse in just a few minutes.

 Since Wei Xiao Bei had already made a decision, he would not let this research talent die. He grasped the roof and took a handful of wooden fragments. Then, he immediately jumped up, raised his right hand, and threw them, causing them to whistle through the air.

 The two monsters did not respond to the whistling sound. They only focused on draining more blood. In an instant, the wooden fragment hit the monster.
