Chapter 263 – Fiendish Man Fish

Eh?

No, this isn’t some black dots but the black beetles!

A few black dots that had been sent flying by Wei Xiao Bei landed towards him, but they was grabbed by him for a look. After carefully examining them, he realized that they were the black beetles that were hiding in the dust.

When the great spear smashed down on the dust, Wei Xiao Bei had gained 27 evolution points.

In other words, Wei Xiao Bei had killed 108 of them in an instance!

Naturally, if the beetles piled up in a straight line, he would have been able to kill a lot more of them.

Whooth!

With another wave, Wei Xiao Bei smashed on another dust pile!

Dust once again filled the air as he obtained 30 evolution points.

However, after these two strikes, the dust all around him appeared to be bubbling.

It was as if the beetles understood that they would be attacked if they continued to hide. As the dust pile shook, the black beetles crawled out and surrounded Wei Xiao Bei.

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei made an action that would have astonished someone from reality.

He had placed all his clothing and shoes into his Small Holding Bag, lied down on the ground, and rolled towards the black beetles.

In the eyes of the beetles, Wei Xiao Bei’s posture did not matter.

Additionally, even if their shells were not as tough as the Sacred Beetles, it would be difficult for Wei Xiao Bei to simply crush them by rolling his body over them.

When humans lie down, their weight would be distributed, making it a better option to stand up and step on the beetles.

However, Wei Xiao Bie would never perform a useless action. As he rolled past above the black beetles, electric sparks would continuously flicker with a crackling sound from below his body.

Between the human body and the ground, electric current was able to smoothly pass through the beetles’’ bodies, scorching them and electrocuting them.

These black beetles did not even have the chance to open their mouths as they instantly turned into corpses form the electricity.

The places that Wei Xiao Bei passed through even let out a fragrant smell. It was the smell of the black beetles being roasted by electricity.

The black beetles did not have brains and only chased after him. They never thought about what the electricity coming from his body signified for them.

Wei Xiao Bei felt comfortable. He only needed to adjust his electricity to 1000 volts and 20 milliamperes to kills these black beetles.

As for the consumption of energy, it was a lot less than how he would normally use it to fight.

If it was only this much electrical energy, then Wei Xiao Bei would have no problems releasing it for an entire day, but if it was in its maximum value, then maintaining it for two hours would already be an optimistic estimate.

After rolling around for a while, Wei Xiao Bei’s entire body was bathed in the black beetle’s body fluids. Moreover, the fluids had mixed with the dust around him turning him into a mud man.

If it was in the real world, Wei Xiao Bei might worry about his reputation, but in the Dust World, there was no one around him. Even if there was, he would still not worry about it.

For every 10 meters that he rolled, he would earn 120-130 evolution points.

Although it was a lot less than when he was fighting with Zombies, if all evolution points from Zombies were added together, it might not even be comparable to the amount that the black beetles gave.

After looking at the black beetles on his two sides, Wei Xiao Bei estimated that there were at least a hundred thousand black beetles.

In other words, if Wei Xiao Bei killed all these black beetles, then he would at least gain 25,000 evolution points!

As long as Wei Xiao Bei continued to roll over them like this, then it would not be a difficult feat to do.

Using the largest surface area that his body could occupy and rolling on the beetles while releasing electricity would probably take him around 33 minutes to kill all of them.

Naturally, this did not include any unexpected events that would increase or decrease the time needed.

Other than time, Wei Xiao Bei needed to pay the price in small injuries. 20 milliamperes was enough to electrocute the beetles, but there were also beetles that could endure for a bit and bite him.

However, it would be difficult for these small injuries to pile up. With his recovery speed, the injuries caused by the beetles would instantly heal up without leaving any scars behind!

This plan was good, but it was difficult to prevent accidents from happening.

After Wei Xiao Bei kept rolling for a while, the black beetles immediately stopped moving, halting their attacks against Wei Xiao Bei. Afterwards, they began to gather on the streets and withdrew towards the lake. Their speed was at least twice as fast as when they were attacking Wei Xiao Bei.

When the black beetles withdrew, Wei Xiao Bei changed his plans of acting like a rolling pin in place and instead rolled after them.

However, the efficiency of this was a lot worse than having the black beetles commit suicide. Initially, rolling twice would have allowed him to kill tens of them, but now he could only do so after 5-6 rolls.

This made him stop attempting to roll over them. He immediately jumped and stood up while holding his great spear. Then with a thrust, he pierced the spearhead into the cement ground. Putting force into his hands, the spear handle curved into an arc, and with a stomp, the cement ground cracked.

Due to the great spear being bent and the cement ground cracked, the spear had dug up a large area of cement sending it into the air. Wei Xiao Bei pulled back the spear and whipped the large piece of ground, causing a loud boom. The cement ground shattered into pieces and rained on the ground.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The pieces of cement were like bullets as they hailed on the ground.

The black beetles that were trying to escape towards Lake Cui were immediately met with a calamity, immediately becoming minced meat under the hail of cement fragments.

In just one move, more than 500 black beetles were turned into minced meat, becoming more than 100 evolution points.

However, Wei Xiao Bei could only do this a few times as the black beetles receded like a tide into Lake Cui.

When Wei Xiao Bei had just come out of the street, he let out a cold sigh. He suddenly noticed that he was less than 500 meters away from Lake Cui.

In other words, the distance between Lake Cui and the apartment street had decreased by more than half.

At this moment, in the dark waters of Lake Cui, green-colored light floated up, sending shivers down Wei Xiao Bei’s spine.

As he concentrated his eyesight, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that countless Fiendish Man Fishes had floated up to the surface of the water. Their originally white eyes now let out a green-colored light that appeared terrifying.

So many Fiendish Man Fishes!

Although the Fiendish Man Fishes were only 1-Star Elite Creatures, they had the power to create hallucinations and illusions. When Wei Xiao Bei first caught one of them, he had carelessly been affected. Moreover, when he had eaten their essence, he had even entered a realistic dream.

From this, it could be known that although they were weak, they were still strong in the this aspect.

The number of Fiendish Man Fishes that floated up had exceeded 2000!

Wei Xiao Bei currently did not have any thoughts of jumping into the water and fighting them at close quarters. He immediately retreated backwards and lied down on the dust while only poking out his head to take a look.

Although it was not comfortable, safety was a priority, and it was a lot better than being stared at by the Thousand Eyed Devil.

As previously said, the speed of the black beetles was more than the usual. Thus, the black beetles quickly reached the edge of the lake and crawled into it. They moved passed the lake towards the fake island in the center of it.

This was the first time the fake island appeared, and Wei Xiao Bei had also noticed it at this moment.

Wei Xiao Bei guessed that a new island could have been built in the real world and was now projected into the Dust World.

After all, Wei Xiao Bei had seen constructs in the real world being projected into the Dust World.

However, Wei Xiao Bei was dumbstruck at the scene that happened next.

When the black beetles had not swam too far, the Fiendish Man Fishes that did not move suddenly advanced. They moved as if an exceptional delicacy was placed in front of them. They swam as they threw themselves at the black beetles.

As the Fiendish Man Fishes’ eyes glowed green, each of them made the black beetles appear as if they were having their souls sucked in and stopped moving in the water. Then they were swallowed by the Fiendish Man Fishes.

The Fiendish Man Fishes had rows of sharp teeth that were used to deal with the black beetles’ hard shell. Once their mouths closed, the black beetles would instantly be bit in half.

The scene appeared to be a large feast.

In front of the Fiendish Man Fishes, the black beetles did not even have the chance to fight back as they were neutralized by the green light coming from their eyes.

In truth, the Fiendish Man Fishes eating the black beetles had completely exceeded Wei Xiao Bei’s anticipation.

He had always thought that monster in Lake Cui were all allies of each other.

The reason for this was simple.

The Fiendish Man Fishes could control illusions, and the Thousand Eyed Devil exceeded them in ability. Finally, the black beetles’ first appearance appeared as if they were underlings commanded by the Thousand Eyed Devil.

When all this information converged, then anyone would think that the black beetles, the Fiendish Man Fish, and the Thousand Eyed Devil were allies.
