Chapter 160 – Spiritless Shangfu

Now, Wei Xiao Bei was already 300 meters away from the hole. After continuously running for another kilometer, he still had not seen the food street.

Could I have gone the wrong direction?

Impossible!

Wei Xiao Bei intuitively understood that he was going the correct direction.

As the grass field expanded, the amount of Green Dwarfs increased.

In the range of the original forest, the amount of Green Dwarfs had reached roughly 200.

However, on his way to the food street, he had encountered more than 100 Green Dwarfs already.

Wei Xiao Bei did not stop to fight these Green Dwarfs. The only thing he did was kick them away when they were on his path.

The lucky Green Dwarfs would still be able to move after landing on the grass. The unluckier ones instantly died.

After 20 minutes of running, Wei Xiao Bei finally saw the entrance of the food street.

Wei Xiao Bei calculated that he had already ran for 20 minutes and had almost reached 10 kilometers.

In other words, distance had increased by more than 10 times!

This means that the distance between the hole and Cui Hu University had also increased.

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei sighed. No matter how hard he worked, he still could not see through The Dust World at all.

The land had actually altered and expanded in just a months time. It was hard to imagine what other changes could actually happen.

Wei Xiao Bei had already made his plans. After returning to the apartment building, he would take away all the water and food.

If there were changes to the apartment building the next time he entered, he would suffer a major loss for no reason.

Food and water was not easy to find in T Dust World.

Seeing the food street in the distance, Wei Xiao Bei suddenly increased his speed and ran like a horse to the food street.

He did not decrease his speed at all as he passed through the place.

Slowing down would be a mistake. If the Mist Draconic Horse was still there and he decreased his speed, it would be difficult to escape, so he decided to keep on running.

“Crunch, crunch!”

A few Green Dwarf jumped up, but they were directly sent flying away by Wei Xiao Bei like golf balls that had not been aimed properly.

It’s not here!

The mist that signified the Mist Draconic Horse was not in the food street!

Wei Xiao Bei who was still a bit far from the food district, saw through the entire place and became extremely happy.

In reality, if Wei Xiao Bei did not need to, he was a person who refuses to face reality. He was unwilling to provoke an existence like the Mist Draconic Horse.

Wei Xiao Bei thought that dealing with the Big Tree Spirit was easier than the Mist Draconic Horse. Although both were the same rank, the Mist Draconic Horse had the corrosive mist, fast speed, and strong recovery ability. Any of these was enough to become a fatal threat to Wei Xiao Bei.

The Big Tree was different. Although he could not win, he would still be able to dodge them.

The weakness of the Big Tree Spirit was its slowness that could allow many creatures to escape on time.

Naturally, creatures of the same rank as the Big Tree Spirit would be able to survive against it easily.

When Wei Xiao Bei stepped in the food street, his heart completely settled down.

No matter what, as long as a person stepped on familiar land, whether it was The Dust World or not, they would have a sense of security.

This kind of feeling was hard for outsiders to feel.

The food street appeared to have become more ruined than before.

If previously Wei Xiao Bei had thought that the food street had aged by 10 years, it had now aged by 100 years.

Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei could see that the food street had shortened by more than a third.

What’s going on?

The grass field had expanded by 10 times its original size while the food street had, on the contrary, shrunk.

“Cluck, cluck, cluck!!”

When Wei Xiao Bei slowed down, he heard a dispirited chicken noise.

A Shangfu appeared in front of him.

Although the sound was a Shangfu’s, it appeared incredibly spiritless. Its originally glossy and bright feather had turned dull and murky.

However, even if it was in this state, it still showed its original ferocity when it saw Wei Xiao Bei.

Compared to the first time he encountered a Shangfu, Wei Xiao Bei only smiled and grabbed its beak. With a strong pull, the Shangfu easily fell down the ground.

It was not that the Shangfu was weak, but Wei Xiao Bei was stronger.

In the beginning, a normal 2-star creature was enough to give him a hard time, but now, he was able to capture it easily.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei did not have any plans of sparing it. He did not have the skill charm control and even if he brought it back, Zhu Xin Yi would not be able to control it.

The Shangfu was a 2-star creature, while Zhu Xin Yi was a 1-star creature.

He broke the Shangfu’s neck and then stabbed it with his White Mist Knife. He pulled out an empty bottle to catch the blood while it also refined his White Mist Knife.

Shangfu’s blood was good stuff. After drinking it, his health would increase by 0.2 and endurance by 0.3.

Although it was not that useful for Wei Xiao Bei now, it was a hard to earn treasure for Huang Kun and Zhu Xin Yi.

Wei Xiao Bei frowned. He dragged the Shangfu corpse to an empty shop. The meat of the Shangfu was good especially when turned into jerky. At least compared to the hardtack, it was much more nutritional. Moreover, it could even relieve fatigue.

However, if he left it in the empty shop, it would be taken by other monsters.

As a result, he could only return quickly and hope it wasn’t taken by then.

Wei Xiao Bei covered the corpse with a couple of broken things and exited the shop. Then he began to run through the food street.

The food street was not long. He had already reached the apartment street after making a single turn.

However, Wei Xiao Bei was startled when he reached the apartment street. Everything he saw in the apartment street was even more ruined than that of the food street. Even the walls of the apartments had collapsed.

Wei Xiao Bei walked forward and lightly kicked a piece of brick. He was stunned to see that when the birck he kicked struck another brick, both of them disintegrated into nothing, as f it was a magic prop.

Wha?

Wei Xiao Bei continued to kick the bricks on the ground.

Every brick that Wei Xiao Bei kicked no matter how strong the kick was, disintegrated into nothing.

Wei Xiao Bei shook his head, pondered for a bit, and came to a guess.

Could this be caused by the changes in reality?

The apartment street in reality was in the process of being demolished.

He did not know if this was caused by the decrease of people in the apartment street, or caused by the construction in reality.

However, since a big incident just happened in the apartment street, the Da Hao Real Estate Company should not be able to begin construction yet.

This was why the number of people moving might have been the true cause that created this effect.

Wei Xiao Bei recorded this change in his mind. He prepared to inspect the apartment street once he returned back to reality.

As for police trying to find him, Wei Xiao Bei was not that worried.

If he could not go out in daytime, then why not go at night?

However, he would soon know that the changes in the apartment street would give him a lot of trouble.

The walls had already collapsed, so he did not need to go through the gates. He easily walked towards his previous apartment building and entered the place.

However, what made Wei Xiao Bei panic was that every step he took inside the apartment building, it would leave a deep hole.

The wooden boards that was used to make the floor of the apartment building had completely become grains of sand. Even the cement below it was also the same.

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but stop breathing.

He could not help but do this. Wei Xiao Bei even thought that if his breathing was loud enough, the entire place would collapse.

One step, two steps, three steps…….

Every step he took would cause white and gray dust to float up into the air.

When he reached the front of his old room, He pushed open the door.

Without any obstruction, his hand had passed through the door, and the door immediately turned into dust particles.

Not good!

Dodge!

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei simple did not dare hesitate and charged into the dust.

Whoosh!

Boom!

The entire building collapsed. Dust particles spread everywhere like a white colored fog.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The nearby buildings received the effects of the building collapse. Like dominoes, they also collapsed.

In just 1 minute, the entire apartment street was covered in dust. The dust had reached into the food street and even the distant Lake Cui.

“Cough cough cough.”

After a short time, the dust finally settled. The entire street was now covered in layers of dust.

Wei Xiao Bei took a while before he was able to drill out of the sand, and he coughed fiercely.

This was something that could not be helped. Although Wei Xiao Bei was fast, the building started to collapsed before he was able to enter the room. As a result, Wei Xiao Bei was only barely able to grab a few bags before being buried underneath the dust.

However, there was no danger to Wei Xiao Bei caused by the collapse.

After all, the entire building turned into dust. Although there was a little bit of an impact from the sudden descent of dust, it was not that big.

Wei Xiao Bei was not pressed down to the point of spitting out blood. He used his utmost to pull out the bags and got up.

“Pah! Pooh! Spit!”

The dust was too disgusting. Wei Xiao Bei spat out a few times, but he could still taste and smell the dust, so he had no choice but to waste a few bottles of water to wash his mouth out.
