Chapter 254 – Limb Regeneration! Ice Heart!

When he began to train his Qi, Wei Xiao Bei had a pleasant surprise. The speed of his Qi flow was even faster than when his strength had broken through.

With his conscious control, the Qi flow became even faster. The blood channels were not able to handle this speed and ruptured, but this time, when they rupture, the warm flow was like a hungry wolf and charged forth, healing the ruptured blood channels.

His blood channels continued this cycle of rupture and recovery, causing them to expand..

Finally, all his fingers and hand had once again regrown. Wei Xiao Bei felt that his body began to return to normal control, so he immediately stopped circulating his Qi and focus on his left hand.

Close, open, close, open.

Wei Xiao Bei frowned. The newly grown hand appeared white and tender.

Naturally, this was not much as the color returned to before.

The only problem was that the newly grown hand’s movement was a bit unharmonized. Compared to his right hand, the speed and strength were a bit lacking.

He had to gradually work out to make it reach its previous state.

No matter what was said, his left hand had returned.

Wei Xiao Bei was happy. Soon after, the [Finger Regrowth] behind his health attribute disappeared and replaced by the skil he yearned for [Limb Regrowth]!

Feeling the vitality bubbling from his body, he gazed at the Frost Giant.

At this moment, the Frost Giant was like the big wolf as it shrunk a lot when it became a corpse. The fog of ice that covered its body had already disappeared.

Whoosh!

Wei Xiao Bei pulled out his great spear!

The spearhead became covered in blue mist that had ice crystals within. However, in the next moment, the blue mist once again entered the spearhead.

Status Appraisal!

Wei Xiao Bei was flabbergasted. After absorbing the Frost Giant, there were no changes to its status and remained in the process of evolving.

However, the hole that the great spear made in the Frost Giant let out a fog of ice that weakened as time passed.

In the end, a white-colored heart floated out from its corpse,and the layer of fog on it gradually spread all over the place, decreasing the temperature around.

Status Appraisal!

……

Name: Ice Heart (Rare Quality)

Description: After a Frost Giant dies, the power of ice granted to them by nature condenses into a treasure. 10% chance to appear.

Effect 1: After being eaten, the user would be granted the power of ice. This item could only be used once. Further use would be ineffective. If the user has skills of similar power, user should not use this or it will have unknowable danger.

Effect 2: If this object touches fire, this object will explode and turn the land 2 meters around it into an environment sealed in absolute zero.

Effect 3: This object will continuously try to decrease the temperature of the surroundings to 130 degrees below zero.

Effect 4: Wearing this object will increase cold resistance.

…….

After looking over the description of the Ice Heart, Wei Xiao Bei immediately placed it into his Small Holding Bag.

Damn! What a cheat item!

It was basically a bomb based on its second effect.

If it truly exploded in front of him, he would not be able to joke around anymore.

Let alone absolute zero, Wei Xiao Bei would probably not be able to withstand 50 or 60 degrees below zero.

Going back to topic, the Ice Heart was truly a treasure!

Eating it would give the power of ice.

If it was not due to the description at the back, Wei Xiao Bei would have directly taken it in.

People with similar skills should not take it or they will receive unknown danger.

After pondering this, Wei Xiao Bei guessed that [Release Electricity] seemed to be the so-called similar skill.

For now, the only thing he could do was store it.

Naturally, the fourth effect was not bad. If he fought with Frost Giants while wearing it, its effect of increasing cold resistance would have a powerful use.

Its third effect should make it a highly effective freezer.

If he was able to use its second effect properly, he could have a warhead at hand and deal with strong enemies.

After thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei placed the great spear into his Small Holding Bag, then followed the path where the other two Frost Giants left to.

Those two Frost Giants were now treasure troves in Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes.

As for the Ice Heart’s chance to appear, Wei Xiao Bei had totally ignored it.

The evolution points of the Frost Giants were still equivalent to 1600 points.

While following the ice path that the Frost Giant left behind, Wei Xiao Bei was inspecting his status panel.

He saw that there were no changes to his creature rank and became puzzled.

If it was according to the previous rule, becoming a 3-Star Elite Creature should require two sub-attributes to reach 40 points.

However, Wei Xiao Bei quickly noticed a problem.

In truth, none of his main attributes had reached 40 points, but his creature rank had become a 3-Star Creature.

Is this a bug?

Wrong, Wei Xiao Bei immediately understood.

This should not be a bug.

His creature rank rising should be due to his status increase thanks to his qi.

It was not clearly written in his status panel, but there should be some complex conversion to it.

Wei Xiao Bei stopped thinking about this matter.

But now, even without the increase of his qi, he was now a real 3-Star Creature.

After thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei had an illusion that he had become a monster.

He then realized why he had such a hard time in dealing with 3-Star Creatures.

A true 3-Star Creature could suppress him with only attribute values.

However, he was now rather cheerful as he looked at his status panel.

I now have limb regrowth!

Limb Regrowth: When the user loses their limbs (note: limbs do not include internal organs, and other organs), the limb would regrow in a short period of time. After receiving this effect, recovery speed increases. This ability can be obtained when health reaches 60 points.

Wei Xiao Bei had just realized that he had a misconception of  [Finger Regrowth].

Previously, he thought that this included the internal organs and organs like the eyes. However, the description of the [Limb Regrowth] had clarified this. Only then, did he notice that regrowth did not directly apply to his internal organs and other organs.

In other words, if his arm was chopped off, then it would regrow in a short period of time. If he could connect back the arm, then the recovery would be swifter.

However, if his liver was the one damaged, then he should not hope that it would quickly regrow. He could only hope that his strong recovery power could heal it.

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei was already satisfied.

The Frost Giants were not fast.

Their injuries were only a bit lesser than the one Wei Xiao Bei had killed.

Thus, they attracted attacks from other creatures.

Wolves, crows, and other monsters had severely decreased their fighting strength.

Thus, when Wei Xiao Bei finally caught up to them, he saw that one of them was already being circled by a big wolf.

The one that remained was the Frost Giant that had been heavily injured in the head and rib. As for the one that lost its hand, it had already disappeared and perhaps abandoned its comrade as it escaped by itself.

Since it was able to abandon the first comrade, it would without a doubt be able to abandon the second comrade.

The big wolf had already fixed its attention on the weakened Frost Giant.

For a wolf that was always hungry, the giant was a giant lump of juicy meat.

Seeing the fragments of an ice arrow on the ground, Wei Xiao Bei knew that the wolf and the giant were stuck in a stalemate.

The wolf was able to nimbly dodge the arrow, but it did not dare approach the giant.

The giant was heavily injured, but it was in a better condition than the previous one. If it fought with its life on the line, it could at the very least bring down the wolf with it.

One hit of the ice arrow should be enough to get rid of the wolf.

Wei Xiao Bei quietly retreated and made a detour around the fight. He followed the trail of ice towards the giant that had lost an arm.

Today was probably a day of misfortune for the giants.

When Wei Xiao Bei caught up to the Frost Giant, he contemplated when he would make a move, but then he saw a tree root move and trapp the giant under it.

It was not actually a tree root, but a python that was the same color as a root.

It was a python that exceeded 50 meters!

The Frost Giant was barely able to react by shooting an ice arrow before being swallowed whole by the python.

The ice arrow had hit the python’s body, but it had only covered its scales with a small area of ice.

The difference in power between the two was big.

Previously, when Frost Giants fought against the giant python, around 7-8 of them were swallowed.

Although this python was a lot smaller, it could easily deal with a giant that had lost an arm.

The python also boasted a high defense. Moreover, with its body size, fighting it with conventional methods would extremely difficult.

Seeing this, Wei Xiao Bei did not have any other plans. His first reaction was to turn around and leave.

That python is at least a 3-Star Terror Creature!

Wei Xiao Bei calculated. He compared it with the Big Tree Spirit, the Thousand Eyed Devil, the Mist Draconic Horse, and other 3-Star Terror Creatures. In the end, he could not truly tell the differences in their strengths.

After all, they had different ways of attacking.

If it was the Thousand Eyed Devil, it used its hallucinatory attacks and took control of the enemy. Once the Big Tree Spirit or python was controlled by it, they could only bow their heads and await their eventual death.
