The City of Terror
chapter-255

Chapter 255 – Just Like Jadeite Spring Water

However, if the enemy could resist the Thousand Eyed Devil’s attacks, then even a 2-Star Terror Creature could kill it.

Naturally, these were only assumptions in Wei Xiao Bei’s head.

As for the true situation in a real battle, he was unsure of the outcome.

When Wei Xiao Bei returned to the Frost Giant that was fighting with a big wolf, he noticed that the wolf had already turned into ice statue fragments, while the Frost Giant lost an arm and was lying on its dying breath.

Wei Xiao Bei smiled. He had finally picked up the benefits.

When he approached the giant, it opened its eyes and mumbled something while looking at him.

Wei Xiao Bei did not understand what it was saying, but the fairy was.

Fountain of youth!

Hearing the fairy’s translation, Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes lit up.

In truth, there were many rumors and legends about the fountain of youth. However, the fountain of youth here should refer to the drink of the gods that allowed them to maintain their youth.

It is said that Odin and the other gods would drink in the fountain of youth at every interval to stop their aging and once again become youths.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei looked down on these Norse gods and felt that they were not gods but a group comprised of strong individuals.

Chinese gods were not that weak. At the very least, their lifespans were a lot longer than Norse gods. Whether they moved or not, they could survive for several millions of years. As long as nothing bad happened to them, they would not die.

However, for a mortal like Wei Xiao Bei, the so-called fountain of youth was simply a world class treasure.

Was there anything much more valuable than eternal youth?

Even if it needed to be taken regularly, it was still valuable.

Whoosh!

The great spear was inserted in the Frost Giant’s eye, killing it on the spot.

Although the Frost Giant exposed the reason they came to this place, it did not mean that Wei Xiao Bei would let it go.

800 evolution points!

The only regretful thing was that the Ice Heart did not appear, but Wei Xiao Bei had already prepared himself for it.

After all, the probability of it appearing was small. Even if he killed the entire group of Frost Giants, he might not be able to get a single one.

Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei pulled out the great spear that had finished absorbing the giant’s power and went back towards the basin formed by  tree roots.

He believed that he could obtain information related to the fountain of youth from the Einherjars.

He just did not know the nature of the Einherjar that came from reality.

Wei Xiao Bei was quickly able to return as he quickly saw the basin.

Directly approaching the basin was definitely not a good idea. If those Einherjars noticed him, they might just mercilessly kill him.

After wasting his strength, Wei Xiao Bei had climbed up on a tree root that had drilled up from the ground by a hundred meters. Then he looked down at the basin far away.

What bewildered him was that the entire basin had been tidied up. Not even a single corpse remained, nor were there any Einherjars.

From this, the basin should only be a place that the Einherjars chose to confront the Frost Giants.

When they had succeeded, the Einherjars had given up on the place.

The Einherjars had an abundance of experience. Wei Xiao Bei climbed down and circled the basin, but he was not able to find any clues.

The only clue he had was the droplets of water that dripped down from the Frost Giant’s corpses.

After they died, the Frost Giants would not be able to maintain the cold air around them. However, they were still a lot colder than the surrounding temperature. Making them reach the surrounding temperature in a short period of time was an impossible thing to do.

This would cause the air to condense into water droplets that dripped down their bodies.

The Einherjars appeared to be carrying their bodies with a fast speed.

Wei Xiao Bei had almost lost their tracks a few times.

As he followed the trail, the World Tree became closer. If he looked ahead, he could only see a brown wall that extended left and right as it reached the skies. Its ends could not be seen at all.

This was the World Tree. It was an unimaginably big existence.

If a person from the real world was dumped here, they would simply be unable to tell that it was a tree. It was like humans in the past who thought that the Earth was flat.

With their bodies in that place, they would not be able to see the big picture at all.

The ground gradually became uneven and wooden as tree roots could be seen digging out of it.

The ground was already riddled with tree roots, but it was hard to see the entire picture.

Every single tree root was like an enormous plot of land as the area they covered reached far and wide.

The forest that covered the place were comprised of tree roots with branches and leaves growing on them. The leaves were so big that they reached a few meters in diameter. Even when Wei Xiao Bei stepped on them and jumped around, he would not fall down.

On the other hand, there were fruit growing on the them. Their shapes and scents were all different. There were yellow-colored nuts and green-colored berries.

Wei Xiao Bei ate some of them. Their tastes were not bad. There were bitter ones, sour ones, even richly sweet ones, and oily ones.

They were simply food. The fruits were there to feed one full. Wei Xiao Bei had collected some fruits and berries, placing them into his Small Holding Bag. He was prepared to try and turn them into condiments.

After following the trail for a few days, Wei Xiao Bei had finally reached the base of the World Tree.

The Einherjars appeared to have disappeared inside a large hole on the World Tree.

Wei Xiao Bei tried to check the cowberry glazed reindeer barbecue, but there was nothing left. The only thing that remained was normal reindeer barbecue.

In other words, he might be sent out of the Dust World in just two hours.

After thinking about it, Wei Xiao Bei placed the fairy onto a big tree, which was formed from the branches and leaves grown from the tree roots.

This place was abundant with food and sufficient enough to let the fairy survive.

Facing Wei Xiao Bei’s action, the fairy was stunned. It firmly caught on the stone card on Wei Xiao Bei’s neck, unwilling to let go.

This made Wei Xiao Bei slightly forlorn, but this was something he must do.

Wei Xiao Bei was sure to return to reality. At present, the fairy should be unable to return back with him.

Zhu Xin Yi’s charm was not able to do such a thing, so relying only on a simple partnership contract was even more impossible.

Moreover, the things that would happen next would be very dangerous!

Wei Xiao Bei could not hope that the Ming Lun Envoy’s stone card would be able to let the both of them escape.

Without a doubt, if he escaped and left the fairy behind, it would receive the enemy’s’ attacks.

“This place is safe. There is food.”

Wei Xiao Bei was not good at comforting people. He only knew how to use clumsy words to attempt to move the fairy’s attention.

Luckily, the fairy did not have a stubborn nature. After Wei Xiao Bei’s guarantee, the fairy let go of its hands and flew onto a tree as it turned its attention on the fruits.

Taking the moment when the fairy was beginning to settle down, Wei Xiao Bei quietly turned around and walked into the tree hole.

As he advanced, he encountered forks in the road.

He relied on the tracks left behind by the Frost Giants and once again chased after the Einherjars.

As he moved forward, he reached an opening. A hall that was more than 300 meters in diameter appeared in front of him.

This place was the Einherjars’ living space.

The roof of the hall were made of leaves that let out green light rays. A few wooden construct appeared in Wei Xiao Bei’s line of sight.

Although the construct were wooden, they were made in the style of ancient nords.

The Einherjars carried the Frost Giant corpses to the center of the hall where water seemed to come out.

What kind of water is that?

As Wei Xiao Bei stared at it, he felt as if he could not move.

It was a small fountain that was about 30 centimeters high and 10 centimeters in diameter. It had a beautiful sparkling green color that seemed to be transparent and pure. It was like a jadeite that had a green flame inside it. It was incredibly beautiful like an absolute treasure.

The flow of water from the fountain was slow, as if it completely ignored the laws of physics and been placed in a state of slow motion.

The water slowly sprayed out, and the droplets slowly came down. It was slower than normal speed by several times.

It made the water appear solid.

The Einherjars were raising their weapons beside the fountain. They chopped the corpses of the Frost Giant into small pieces while ignoring the stench of them and threw them into the fountain.

What surprised Wei Xiao Bei was that when the pieces of the Frost Giant were dumped into the fountain, the water instantly boiled up and sprayed outward like a volcano. It rose to more than 10 meters, and the pieces of the giant that it touched had melted without even leaving any bones.

The speed at which the spring water melted the corpse was a hundred times faster than aqua regia.

For a period, the bubbling stopped without any sounds, as if it was a silent movie.

Occasionally, the spring water would land on the Einherjars’ bodies and instantly disappear without the slightest side effect. On the contrary, it seemed that their spirits were raised up.

Although the water could quickly melt the corpse, there were more than a hundred corpses, and every one was more than 10 meters high.

This makes the entire process slow.

After half an hour, only 20 corpses had been melted by the water.

The Einherjars appeared to be tired from the battle and split up as they chose their own buildings to take a rest from. They left two Einherjars to guard the fountain and let them throw in the small pieces of the corpses.

Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei’s eyebrows raised. He felt that the water should be a treasure that could even be the fountain of youth that the Frost Giant was talking about!
