Chapter 258 – Eating the Ba-Serpent Grass

With this effect, Wei Xiao Bei would need to eat it when his strength was at 60, 80, or even more to make full use of it.

However, he knew that there was no limit to increasing his status. If he wanted to make ultimate use of it, then he would not be able to use it!

Moreover, if his muscle attribute truly reached 60 points or 80 points, the effect of the Ba-Serpent Grass might not be able to fully manifest to its fullest.

After all, it was only a high quality treasure!

The Ba-Serpent Grass might appear to have a fragrant smell that could attract monsters, but once it entered Wei Xiao Bei’s mouth, a strange greasy odor instantly filled up his mouth, almost making him vomit.

This is too disgusting!

Once it was placed into his mouth, he felt as if he was eating a melting phlegm covered grass.

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei frowned and forcefully swallowed the grass down.

After the grass slid through his throat and entered his stomach, it immediately melted, but Wei Xiao Bei could feel the heat rise from his stomach, spreading through his entire body.

When the heat flowed, his muscles trembled as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The feeling was very unpleasant.

It was as if he was a high-speed vibrating object. His entire body instantly numbed as he lost control of all his muscles.

Wei Xiao Bei too this chance to sink his consciousness and train his Qi.

The changes happening now were different compared to the changes that happened when he increased his muscle attribute before. Wei XIao Bei could feel all his blood channels close up.

In truth, they had not closed up, but Qi was unable to flow out from his Dantian.

However, it was still fine as the trembling in his muscles quickly ended.

Wei Xiao Bei could feel his aching muscles, but he could feel that his muscles seemed to have been cleansed in a special way.

At the same time, his muscles had become even denser.

Previously, his muscles could be said to be iron with a lot of impurities, but now, it was like his muscles had been tempered by a ten thousand ton water pressure, turning into fine steel.

Apart from this, he could sense a certain aura coming out from his body. The aura appeared to be able to cover heaven and earth.

Could this be the aura of a Ba-Serpent?

Wei Xiao Bei was pleasantly surprised.

When he gently released it, the Dang Kangs and other monsters far away immediately retreated 10 steps as if they had seen their natural enemy. However, the aura was not pure enough. Thus they only retreated but not run away.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei’s choice this time was correct.

Although the Ba-serpent grass ignored the consumption of evolution points, it was only a high quality good created from a Ba-Serpent’s young.

Once his muscle attribute reached 40 points, the effects of the Ba-Serpent Grass had disappeared.

Its power to disregard the evolution point requirement was only below 40 points. It should be hidden information.

After all, not everything was shown in [Status Appraisal].

Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei’s muscle attribute easily increased to 40 points!

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei had believed that this increase would be like the previous times where his muscles would melt and reorganize. However, he never imagined that it would only result in a warm flow and high-speed trembling of his muscles.

However, this increase in his muscle attribute was not fake. Moreover, he could feel a large increase in power after his muscle attribute increased to 40 points.

He picked up a stone from the ground that was roughly the size of a flint. Then he used his force to crush the rock, causing crisp sounds to come out. When he opened his hand, fine powder and small stones flowed down from his hand.

It could be said like this. Wei Xiao Bei’s strength was already something that could not be compared to a normal human. He was like a cyborg or even stronger.

When Wei Xiao Bei was about to test his strength again, rainbow-colored light flew from the White Tower afar and soon landed in front of him.

The Ming Lun Envoy had appeared while giving off a thick aura of grandeur as if she was about to meet an enemy.

However, when she saw Wei Xiao Bei, her aura had decreased a bit, “So it was you, why do you have the aura of a Ba-Serpent?”

Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and just confessed, “Greetings Ming Lun Envoy, I had just eaten Ba-Serpent Grass.”

Rather than not telling her the truth and cause trouble for himself, he would admit it. After all, even if the Ming Lun Envoy eyed the Ba-Serpent Grass, he had already eaten it, and it could not be returned back anymore.

“So it was like that. Did you come here today to cook for me?”

The Ming Lun Envoy’s aura had now completely disappeared. She had returned to the appearance of a little girl and looked at Wei Xiao Bei with puppy eyes as if she did not even hear Wei Xiao Bei talk about the Ba-Serpent. Naturally, this might be because she did not care about the grass at all.

As the Ming Lun Envoy let out this adorable appearance, Wei Xiao Bei was thinking that if he brought her back to reality, he wondered how many girls would scream in delight when seeing her.

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei wanted to maintain a good relationship with her.

Thus, Wei Xiao Bei did not say anything else and caught two fishes from the creek. After returning, the Ming Lun Envoy had already prepared the firewood and even ignited it.

Looking at the fire, Wei Xiao Bei’s envy rose up again. No matter what was said, these skills were very convenient in daily life.

However, Wei Xiao Bei felt that their relationship was now more subtle, so he found it awkward to ask her directly about this. The only thing he did was cook fish in order to be able to obtain more teleportation in once he ran out of it.

After all, the Ming Lun Envoy might appear like a little girl, but who knew how old she really was. Just from the previous grand aura, it was clear that her position in the White Tower was not low.

Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei had also noticed something when he went to tour the White Tower in the real world. Thus, he was able to affirm this point.

After roasting two fishes, Wei Xiao Bei gave them to the Ming Lun Envoy and asked for a bit more salt, placing them into his Small Holding Bag.

After the Ming Lun Envoy finished eating, Wei Xiao Bei took out reindeer barbecue from his Small Holding Bag and gave a portion to the Ming Lun Envoy, while he began to eat.

Previously he had increased his muscle to 40 points. It might look like his muscles only trembled, but in truth, the process had reorganized his muscles and increased their density and toughness. The energy consumption was also large enough to the point that it was close to the consumption of instantly releasing all his electric energy.

The only thing was that the effects were not that visible.

After eating, the Ming Lun Envoy did not say anything else. She only expressed that Wei Xiao Bei could gather seasonings from the surrounding of Bai Ta Hills to enrich the roasted fish and meat, and then she turned into a rainbow as she left.

It was clear that the Ming Lun Envoy had eaten too much roasted meat that she had become a bit picky.

However, Wei Xiao Bei had a slight understanding of her request, but he was unclear of the concrete meaning, so he had prepared himself to think about it when he returned to the real world.

It’s almost time. I should go back.

This was the first time Wei Xiao Bei had stayed for a long time in the Dust World. Although he felt energy in his body, his mental consumption was still big.

He lied down and thought about going back to the real world.

Then he quickly fell asleep, his body becoming more transparent and gradually disappear into thin air.

After seeing Wei Xiao Bei disappear, the monsters outside the barrier slowly left.

……

“Master, master!”

Before Wei Xiao Bei even opened his eyes, he could already feel someone shaking him and he could hear two voices calling him.

With a quiver, Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes and awoke from his slumber.

The bitter fight in Nordic Dust World still lingered in Wei Xiao Bei’s heart. Thus, he had remained sensitive to his surroundings.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the anxious expression of Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei open his eyes, Zhu Xin Yi’s anxious face instantly turned into a brilliant smile, “Master, are you alright?”

“How could anything happen to master? His body is a lot better than mine.”

Huang Kun was also pleasantly surprised as he immediately flattered.

Wei Xiao Bei first went to take a bath to clean up the bloodstains and dirt that had accumulated on his body. Afterwards, he sat comfortably while drinking tea in the inner practice grounds. Only then, did he began to ask Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun questions.

It seems that after Wei Xiao Bei left the both of them, they had stayed in the Dust World and killed a lot of Zombies. Afterwards, they returned to reality and found that he, their master, had not returned.

Moreover, they had waited for 10 days, but he still had not returned, almost scaring them to death. Luckily, in the end, he had returned, appearing on the bed. Although he had continued to sleep for 5-6 hours, they calmed down since Wei Xiao Bei had eventually returned.

Seeing that no major events happened while he was gone, Wei Xiao Bei let out a sigh in relief, then his gaze landed on Huang Kun.

Eh? Something is different. It seems that this brat’s changes are not small.

Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei used [Status Appraisal] on Huang Kun.

So it was like that.

What Wei Xiao Bei never imagined was that Huang Kun had already quietly become a normal 2-Star Creature.

Ignoring Wei Xiao Bei’s record, this was already quite fast.

It was already hard to tell that Huang Kun was only a 2nd year junior middle school student with his body size. Just his sturdiness alone was already comparable to some pro boxers.

Naturally, this result was due to Huang Kun’s attributes leaning towards strength and agility.

Zhu Xin Yi was also unable to escape Wei Xiao Bei’s [Status Appraisal].

Compared to Huang Kun, Zhu Xin Yi’s attribute growth was not slow, and she was close to becoming a 2-Star Creature.

Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei inspected their homework.

From the looks of it, both of them did not laze around when he was gone for these 10 days. Their growth was steady, making Wei Xiao Bei rather happy.
