The City of Terror
chapter-319

Pop!

The freezing air finally loosened.

The sound of footsteps finally passed through the door and appeared within the master bedroom.

Wei Xiao Bei tensely stared at the room’s door. The corner of his eyes shrunk as the glamorous red high-heeled shoes once again appeared with the sound of footsteps in his room!

In truth, if this pair of glamorous red high-heeled shoes appeared below any beautiful woman’s feet, they would without a doubt give the woman glamour.

However, the only thing that appeared was the shoes without the charming slender legs.

It was only air!

It was like an invisible person wearing these glamorous red high-heeled shoes appearing in front of Wei Xiao Bei.

When he saw this pair of shoes, he felt a shock numb his back, as if a cold snake was crawling on him.

This feels extremely dangerous!

There is no doubt about it.

The great spear shot out like a swimming dragon. The spear suddenly let out a golden glow as it pointed at the high-heels!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three sudden thrusts created three golden lines, piercing towards the high-heels as well as the knee and abdomen of the wearer that was supposed to exist.

The great spear had struck the shoes!

However, the two other thrusts only hit the air!

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei could feel that in all his three of his thrusts, he was not able to hit anything physical at all. This included the high-heeled shoes. It was as if nothing existed in front of him.

However, a woman’s shriek suddenly echoed in the next moment.

“AHHHHHHHH!!!!”

Suddenly, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if his brain had suddenly been struck by a sledgehammer. When he heard the scream, his mind instantly numbed!

Extreme Danger! Extreme Danger!

Extreme Danger!

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei was unable to control his own consciousness as he was about to faint. He knew that this his most dangerous moment!

Activate Reactive Rebound!

…..

When Wei Xiao Bei had finally regained consciousness and his mind cleared up, he was surprised to find out that he had already left the room as he opened his eyes.

From the moment he heard the woman’s shriek until now, all of his memories had disappeared. He could not even understand how he left the room.

What truly startled Wei Xiao Bei was that he was now behind the fountain. The distance he was from the room was now more than 30 meters. On his left hand, he was actually dragging Shan Bing, and on his left was his great spear.

My escape should be thanks to Reaction Rebound.

This was the one thing that he could confirm. It must be known that [Reaction Rebound] was a skill evolved from [Quick Reaction]. This meant that its effect was a lot more than it.

However, Wei Xiao Bei never could have imagined that he would unconsciously escape from the room.

In truth, when he heard the shriek, he guessed that he would die.

Now that he escaped, he could only thank his luck.

It must be known that this time’s danger level had exceeded Wei Xiao Bei’s anticipation. His early warning was not even able to detect the danger. The danger had exceeded all other dangers that he had felt before.

However, he never imagined that he would save Shan Bing with his subconscious mind.

Could it be that I have a bit of a good impression of this Shan Bing?

Wei Xiao Bei shook his head as he threw this thought away.

It might just be that it was just his kindness that was unwilling to let Shan Bing to die here.

Wei Xiao Bei recovered his composure before staring at the house 30 meters away.

Compared to before, the house felt as if the ‘Yin’ element was stronger than before. Even if he stood 30 meters away, he could feel the chill from the ‘Yin’ that the building was giving off just from looking at it.

When he moved his gaze away, that feeling disappeared.

He immediately became gloomy as he could not shake off the feeling of someone peeking at him.

No matter what was said, he was still in a better mood after escaping the dangerous house.

As he tried to recall something, Wei Xiao Bei was able to grasp one important thing.

Wei Xiao Bei recalled the first time he heard the sound of footsteps. From beginning to end, other than the red dress that appeared in the mirror, the footsteps did not show up at all.

However, when the footsteps appeared this time, a clear pair of glamorous red high-heeled shoes appeared.

What does this signify?

Could it be that the owner of the footsteps has grown stronger?

How else could I explain this dangerous encounter!

Just the sharp and shrill sound alone was able to suddenly make me lose consciousness. This just shows how dangerous that truly was.

Against powerful beings like this in the Dust World, losing one’s consciousness in front of them simply meant death.

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei took a look at the battlelog in his status panel.

Battlelog:

…

……

After examining the battlelog, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed a bit. From this, it could be seen that his Divine White Mist Great Spear could injure this strange existence.

However, it was only an injury, and he had immediately received its counterattack, causing him to lose consciousness.

No matter what was said, knowing this had made him feel better.

It must be known that his status panel could not even describe the strange existence nor see through its power. Wei Xiao Bei was already very satisfied that he was able to injure it.

Previously, he could not even injure it no matter what he did. It was as if the existence was in a different plane that only let out the sound of footsteps.

Wei Xiao Bei stared at the house for a while before throwing Shang Bing out of the fountain. After listening attentively for a while, he quickly ran to a nearby street.

Soon, Wei Xiao Bei once again appeared with three Lickers following close behind him.

In truth, he had already felt that these Lickers were a lot weaker than the previous Lickers. Whether it was their speed or strength, they were completely inferior.

Another important point was that after Wei Xiao Bei killed one of them, he only gained 180 evolution points.

The amount of evolution points that he gained had decreased.

Initially, a Licker would be able to give Wei Xiao Bei 250 evolution points.

But now, the Licker’s value had decreased by 70 points! Almost 1/4 of it.

Wei Xiao Bei did not know if this was caused by the Lickers weakening or if he was simply too strong.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei had already anticipated this.

It was just like a game. Once the player’s strength reached a certain level, the amount of experience gained from hunting the same monster would decrease.

From any angle it was looked at, the stronger Wei Xiao Bei got, the harder it was to take the next step.

What truly caught Wei Xiao Bei’s attention that the number of Zombies had decreased a lot after he circled the vicinity.

He guessed that this might be the effect of the end of Resident Evil’s movie showing. With the number of people paying attention to Resident Evil decreasing, the Zombies and Lickers had decreased. It could even be said that no new Zombies or Lickers were appearing anymore.

With the appearance of this truth in mind, it had advanced Wei Xiao Bei’s understanding of the Dust World, as well as confirm some of his assumptions.

Naturally, even if the Lickers had weakened, the Lickers still ferociously chased behind Wei Xiao Bei, attempting to kill him.

On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei took a long detour and charged towards the strange house, but his speed was slowing down.

When a Licker had impatiently shot its tongue at Wei Xiao Bei, Wei Xiao Bei took one small step to dodge the attack, as if he had eyes on his back. Then he easily grabbed the tongue, firmly holding onto it.

“Ha!”

Without a loud shout, Wei Xiao Bei let out his power. Even if the Licker wanted to pull back its tongue, it was simply unable to do so due to the power of Wei Xiao Bei holding it. Wei Xiao Bei continued moving while holding onto the tough tongue that was able to handle the force of his dragging.

In an instant, the Licker was thrown like a bowling bowl towards the strange house.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The remaining two Lickers could also not endure the temptation of attacking Wei Xiao Bei anymore as they shot out their tongues, resulting in their tongues being grabbed by him.

The Licker that was first thrown flying struggled in midair, but it was no use.

After an instant, the first Licker reached less than 5 meters away from the strange house, appearing to almost hit the walls.

However, in the next moment, the Licker appeared to have gone past a mesh made of piano wire as its body instantly disintegrated, turning into countless pieces of fine black-colored meat. The blood that came out of its body had splashed on the walls.

The other two Lickers were also sent flying. Although the angles were different, their end remained the same.

In an instant, the walls of the strange house had been painted black and black-colored pieces of meet slid down it. When the wind blew by, the thick, disgusting stench had caused Wei Xiao Bei to almost vomit.

After the strange house was stained black, it appeared even more terrifying than before.

Without a doubt, the strange house had become a dangerous area that could not be approached.

Wei Xiao Bei stood 30 meters away from the house as some of his hair stood on their ends. He felt as if someone was looking at him.

“What happened? Where am I?”

At this moment, a voice came from the fountain.
