Chapter 177 – Disastrous Casualties

Even Wei Xiao Bei’s hands were not enough.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei move to their direction, the two Wooden Training Dummies smashed their giant fists toward him.

Wei Xiao Bei currently did not dare fight against the two Wooden Training Dummies. Behind him, the Zhua Guai had already once again started to chase after him. Although it was not fast, it was four meters long. If it leapt up, it would easily reach Wei Xiao Bei.

“Get lost!” Wei Xiao Bei shouted. He pulled out his White Mist Knife with his right hand and pressed his body close to the ground. Then he stretched out his limbs causing his body to slide on the ground, evading the four incoming fists.

Wei Xiao Bei felt the friction on his chest against the ground and felt pain.

In a flash, Wei Xiao Bei passed below a Wooden Training Dummy.

He pressed his left hand on the ground and did a somersault, steadily landing on the ground.

At this time, the Zhua Guai’s iron pen had struck the Wooden Training Dummy’s hand, creating a deep hole in it.

Kill!

Wei Xiao Bei turned around and took a chance when the pen was still stuck on the Wooden Training Dummy to stab toward its eye with his White Mist Knife.

Even if the other Wooden Training Dummy smashed its fist toward Wei Xiao Bei, he did not cower at all.

In this kind of battle, a slight mishap would create a huge injury and even result in one’s death!

If the fist had hit him, then he would definitely be in a bad situation.

However, Wei Xiao Bei still charged ahead. The White Mist Knife struck the eye of the Zhua Guai. It let out a tragic cry as black liquid sprayed out from its eye. In an instant, the White Mist Knife and Wei Xiao Bei were drenched black.

Lower the shoulder. Turn the body!

Wei Xiao Bei tried to dodge the incoming fists with all his might, but he was a bit late as his back was hit by a fist.

A strong force struck Wei Xiao Bei.

Gu!

Although Wei Xiao Bei had diverted most of the damage, his body was made out of flesh. Even if most of the damage had been diverted, the ramming force had hit his back, making him feel as if his entire body was being ripped apart. His throat warmed up as he spat out blood.

However, Wei Xiao Bei was unable to divert his concern to it as he continued to charge forward.

When he had just taken two steps, the Zhua Guai’s corpse exploded. Its steel body burst apart, sending shrapnels everywhere.

The explosion was so strong that the nearest Wooden Training Dummy by it had been penetrated deeply by the shrapnels without having the chance to respond. From it, blue liquid flowed out as it collapsed on the ground.

The other Wooden Training Dummy had also been affected by the explosion, blasting apart its arms. Its body was blasted back as it collapsed on the ground, but it had not yet died.

Wei Xiao Bei moved the fastest. Before his intuition even perceived the explosion, he had already used his thousand kilogram drop to send himself away from the explosion.

However, Wei Xiao Bei still felt pain on his back, and in an instant, six pen-sized holes appeared on his chest, causing fresh blood to spurt out.

Fuck!

The Zhua Guai did not seem like much, so Wei Xiao Bei never imagined that it would consider  a move like self-destruct. Moreover, this self-destruct was not weak at all. The explosion was similar to a 152 howitzer artillery shell explosion.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei’s body was pressed down against the ground from the impact. He endured the pain as he tried to put pressure on the wounds.

Luckily, the holes on his body were not too big.

Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei had a high health attribute. With his elementary regeneration, the blood flow slowed down after a while as his wound slowly closed.

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare slow down. He immediately turned around and pressed his back on the ground.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei did not care if the dust on the ground entered his wounds which might cause illnesses such as tetanus. He only cared about adding pressure to his back to stop the blood from flowing.

Okay!

Feeling that the wound on his back had staunched, Wei Xiao Bei slowly got up while enduring the dizziness from the blood loss. He picked up the White Mist Knife that had been flung away and then walked toward the Wooden Training Dummy that had fallen down.

The Wooden Training Dummy was faced toward the sky, but because its arms were blown off, it could not stand back up.

In the end, Wei Xiao Bei sat directly on top of it and began to pierce its chest that was riddled with dents. He only stopped when blue liquid sprayed out from it.

Huuu!

Wei Xiao Bei let out a long sigh. The sharp pain from his body made his muscles tremble. At the same time, he also felt itches from the healed wound, giving him the urge to scratch his wounds.

With the temporary safety, Wei Xiao Bei looked toward Huang Kun and Zhu Xin Yi.

The battle with the Zhua Guai was so fierce that Wei Xiao Bei could not pay attention to them.

Now, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but frown.

Compared to the bitter battle on Wei Xiao Bei’s side, Zhu Xin Yi’s side was full of casualties.

All of the Green Dwarfs had died from the fierce battle against the Young Zhua Guai. Moreover, only three saplings were left.

As for Huang Kun, the main fighting force, his left shoulder was wounded, and small wounds were all over his body.

Accounting for Zhu Xin Yi, there was a small hole on one of her legs; otherwise, she was still in good condition.

On the other hand, the Young Zhua Guai had all been eliminated.

Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei was slightly surprised.

Although he had helped them attract one Young Zhua Guai and killed one of them when he threw the Small Zhua, there were still more than 20 Young Zhua Guais attacking them. Their method of attacks were also very strange, so dealing with them should have been troublesome.

Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun being able to defeat all of them could be considered a miracle.

Other than the attribute increase that could be obtained from killing them, not all of the Young Zhua Guai self-destructed. In Huang Kun’s hands were two Small Zhuas. Although his left hand could not exert a lot of force, he now had a future weapon.

As for Zhu Xin Yi, the Small Zhua did not suit her.

Wei Xiao Bei looked at their situation from afar with worry. He immediately walked toward them while swaying. He stood just before the line and wanted to tell them to leave the Dust World first.

After all, nobody knew what kind of danger they would face in the next moment.

Before Wei Xiao Bei was even able to speak, Zhu Xin Yi asked Wei Xiao Bei with concern, “Brother Wei, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, what about you?” Wei Xiao Bei shook his head as if to get rid of the dizziness he suffered from the blood loss.

“I’m fine. It just that my left arm hurts a lot.” Huang Kun was very tough. A 13-year-old junior high student that still fought against the Young Zhua Guai even if his left shoulder had been pierced and dripping with blood was an admirable feat.

However, now that he was relaxed, his eyes kept closing with tears flowing down from time to time.

At this time, lingering fear rose from within Huang Kun. If the wound was any heavier, his arm might have directly been cut off.

“Both of you should return first,” Wei Xiao Bei said.

Zhu Xin Yi looked at the three remaining saplings with gloom. She previously had a grandiose army, but now she was only left with this much. Anyone would also feel uncomfortable if it happened to them.

Zhu Xin Yi’s main fighting power was to charm monsters. The more monsters she charmed the stronger she would be. As for close combat, the most she could do was mount an ambush and attack a few times. Doing more than that would be suicide.

Huang Kun did not want to go back to reality alone, so he struggled to get up and follow Zhu Xin Yi and her three saplings to one side of the wall where there was a row of saplings.

Seeing that they had made their own choices, Wei Xiao Bei did not pay anymore attention to them. He sat down on the line and used his hand to inspect his back while enduring the pain.

It was unfortunate since not all of the fragments passed cleanly through his body. Some of them were lodged inside, and any movement would cause the wound to open again.

This made it impossible for the wound to fully heal and even inflamed the wound.

No matter how strong his recovery was, the injury would be difficult to heal, and the fragments would stay in his back.

Wei Xiao Bei would be miserable if that happened.

Wei Xiao Bei frowned. If it goes on like this, recovery would be empty talk.

Seeing that the door had once again closed from who knows when, Wei Xiao Bei closed his eyes and sensed that there was no immediate danger.

However, it was difficult to say that nothing else will happen. After all, his Early Warning skill could only accurately predict a few minutes into the future. If danger happened after those few minutes, his intuition would not be able to inform him earlier.

Wei Xiao Bei sighed and decided to observe from Zhu Xin Yi’s side while trying to tidy up the wounds on his back with his hands.

At this time, Zhu Xin Yi commanded her saplings to bind another sapling, raised her mirror, and stared at the sapling.

This should be the so-called Charm Control.

Who knew how many times Zhu Xin Yi failed. Only when her face became very pale, did her sapling release the caught sapling.

It seemed that she had succeeded.

Zhu Xin Yi happily looked at Wei Xiao Bei’s direction, but in the next moment, her body swayed, and she collapsed. If Huang Kun did not stand behind her, Zhu Xin Yi would probably have gotten a bloody nose.
