The City of Terror
-
chapter-322
The street that the creature was located on was not wide. It was only around 17-18 meters in width. The giant flesh cow would crush the balconies of houses on both sides of the street when it moved around.
The once sturdy balconies immediately fell when the giant flesh cow walked past. Some poorly-constructed buildings even started shaking, almost being crushed by the giant cow.
Cement began to crumble piece by piece for every step the creature took.
The cement road could withstand traffic from numerous cars every day, but it couldn’t withstand the weight of the cow’s stomps.
Although the giant cow looked small from the top of their building, Shan Bing could easily guess the enormous size of the giant cow by comparing it with the surrounding buildings.Honestly, it wasn’t that Shan Bing hadn’t seen a giant beast before.
For example, the king-like brown bear in Cui Hu City’s zoo was massive, being approximately three meters tall. When it got irritated by the swarms of tourists staring at it, the bear had stood up and roared. Shan Bing was intimidated by it. He felt as though he were the smallest of ants when in front of it.
But having now seen this giant flesh cow, Shan Bing felt as though the kingly brown bear was nothing at all.
It’s too terrifying! I’m afraid! Am I not an even smaller ant in front of this giant flesh cow?
Shan Bing was stunned, but then he heard Wei Xiao Bei’s voice, “You stay here! Remember, don’t start wandering. It won’t be my fault if you end up dead!”
Shan Bing shook his head quickly to clear his mind. He turned to look at Wei Xiao Bei and saw him standing on the parapet wall, waving his hands to Shan Bing until he suddenly jumped down.
If the giant flesh cow came to the plaza, it would have enough space to move. Then, its strength could be fully unleashed!Wei Xiao Bei didn’t want to fight such a giant beast up front. If he did, the beast would gain a huge advantage as a result of its large body.
“My god!”
To be honest, Shan Bing didn’t like Wei Xiao Bei whatsoever.
The main reason was because of Li Lan Xing. In Shan Bing’s opinion, Wei Xiao Bei was a clear rival for her affection. He was one of Shan Bing’s greatest obstacles in his pursuit of Li Lan Xing.
But after entering the Dust World, the continuously terrifying events crushed any arrogance that may have stemmed from his prominent family background.
Until now, Shan Bing even slightly regarded Wei Xiao Bei as his only hope in the Dust World.
When Shan Bing saw Wei Xiao Bei jump down, he instantly began to worry.
This was the top floor of the department store! The first nine floors of the department store were the shopping center and even warehouses, but after that was more than 20 floors before reaching the rooftop! This meant that Wei Xiao Bei jumped down from an almost thirty-floor height, which was around a hundred meters! Even an iron man would shatter into many pieces if he fell from such a height.
Shan Bing thought that Wei Xiao Bei had lost his mind and was attempting suicide. He was certain that Wei Xiao Bei was dead.
But when Shan Bing peeked his head over and looked, he saw Wei Xiao Bei was running on the wall, quite swiftly. His agility was impressive, far greater than wall-climbing creatures like lizards and spiders.
For a brief moment, Shan Bing’s brain had forgotten how to function. The scene he was seeing had already exceeded his worldview.
Could it be Kung Fu? No, I remember reading something like this in a martial arts novel. Something about leaping off walls. What was it again…wait, I remember! It has to be Qinggong!
Shan Bing was like a drowning person desperately searching for something to grab onto. He thought that Wei Xiao Bei could run on the wall swiftly because of Qinggong!
At that moment, Wei Xiao Bei forcefully stomped and leaped toward the building opposite.
[Unobstructed Path] was obtained after he increased the balance to 40 points. It was much stronger than [Ground Rooting], and Wei Xiao Bei could use it with high proficiency.
Sprinting along the building’s wall, which was precisely eighty-nine degrees perpendicular to the ground, Wei Xiao Bei felt as though he was running on the ground with his agility uninhibited.
The only problem was when he jumped away from the wall, as he needed to jump from a totally different angle than normal, making it necessary to adjust it. If he didn’t, he would be dragged down by gravity.
In less than ten seconds, Wei Xiao Bei turned the corner and saw the giant flesh cow running even harder through the streets.
It was mentioned previously the balconies of buildings the cow ran past swiftly crumbled, as a result of the cow’s collision with the street.
While this had served as a fantastic display of the giant cow’s strength, it was also a major problem that began to slow it down.
This was beneficial to Wei Xiao Bei as he wanted to keep it along the street to weaken it.
Wei Xiao Bei stared at the giant flesh cow, and the giant flesh cow decided to stare right back. The eyes that were once an uninteresting gray suddenly turned crimson. Its four legs abruptly stomped the ground, leaping high into the sky. It pounced towards Wei Xiao Bei with its giant horns angled towards him as he ran along the side of the wall.
It was easy to imagine that if Wei Xiao Bei had been hit by the horns, a hole would definitely open up on his stomach. With the size of the horn, Wei Xiao Bei would probably be torn in half as the hole opened.
As he touched the Small Holding Bag, the Divine White Mist Great Spear appeared in his palm. Wei Xiao Bei leapt off the wall, dashing toward the giant horns.
Although its giant body meant enormous power, the giant cow still faced a minor problem. It became clumsy in narrow spaces, and doubly so when facing an enemy as small as Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei easily dodged the horns then stretched out with his great spear, stabbing the giant cow in the large gap between its horns.
Pzz! The spear pierced through, and flesh flew everywhere. The deeper it pierced, the greater obstruction he faced.
After just half a minute, Wei Xiao Bei had to withdraw his great spear, flipping over the giant cow’s head using the force created by its withdrawal. He lightly stepped on the cow’s back, before flying up into mid-air once again. He angled his great spear downwards and stabbed out thrice, leaving three large holes on the cow’s back.
However, this damage did little to the flesh of the giant cow.
In front of it, the great spear was like a needle.
Wei Xiao Bei’s previous stab did even less, unable to penetrate the cow’s ten-centimetre thick skull.
The skull was even harder than steel!
Moreover, any bleeding caused by Wei Xiao Bei disappeared instantly due to the giant flesh cow’s special abilities.
The area wounded by the spear had many thread-like white mists attached that kept corroding the flesh.
If it was a normal size cow, the white mist’s corroding ability would create a large hold after a short while.
However, the speed of the white mist’s corrosion was too slow to affect the enormous body of the giant flesh cow.
Besides, the giant cow had a powerful recovery ability. With the slow corrosion speed, the large hole that Wei Xiao Bei pierced open was soon filled with numerous threads of flesh. The holes soon disappeared, the flesh swiftly returning to its former state.
After being stabbed by Wei Xiao Bei a few times, the giant flesh cow began to rampage. It stampeded down the street, as though it were attempting to get out and go to the plaza.
How could Wei Xiao Bei let the giant flesh cow reach the plaza? If that happened, he would be letting the creature fight him in an advantageous location.
[Status Appraisal]! As the status appraisal locked on to the giant flesh cow, its attributes appeared in Wei Xiao Bei’s mind.
Name: Flesh Giant Cow (Mutated Farmer’s Market’s Clone)
Race: Cow
Gender: None
Age: None
Creature Rank: 3 Star Elite
Status: (Hidden)
Skill: Intermediate Power Burst, Outbreak Sprint
Special Skills: Bloodsucking, Control Resistance, Physical Damage Resistance, Intermediate Regeneration, Intermediate Flesh Control, Bone Strengthening x 2
Weakness: None
Evolution Points: (Cannot accumulate evolution points)
Items on Hand: None
As Wei Xiao Bei expected, the giant flesh cow was sent by the Mutated Farmer’s Market to kill him.
Compared to the flesh monsters Wei Xiao Bei had encountered previously, the giant flesh cow was much stronger.
This Three-Star Elite Creature was even stronger than Mao An Ge.
Besides, it had special abilities like [Intermediate Flesh Control] and [Bone Strengthening x 2] which didn’t exist in any flesh monsters he’d encountered so far.
It was no wonder then why the cow’s bones were so tough to penetrate. The extraordinarily sharp Divine White Mist Great Spear could only poke a small hole in its skull.
This [Intermediate Flesh Control] should be stronger than normal [Flesh Control].
The flesh monster before with only [Flesh Control] had already given Wei Xiao Bei a headache. Any flesh that dropped from its body would jump onto his body and try to pierce through him.
To be honest, the feeling of the flesh cut-offs going into his body made Wei Xiao Bei significantly suffer psychologically.
The giant flesh cow being a clone from the Mutated Farmer’s Market meant its strength was incomparable to previous flesh monsters he had faced.
The giant flesh cow had initially planned to get out of the street. After the status appraisal was used the giant flesh cow stopped and turned around, staring intensely at Wei Xiao Bei. The cow stretched its large body, attempting to turn around so as to deal with him.
However, the giant flesh cow had difficulty moving in the narrow street. When it turned, its horns crushed the houses on both sides of the street. The balconies weren’t the only part of the houses that were crumbling this time, as even their walls began to collapse.
If the flesh giant were a distance away from the houses and dashed towards them, the houses would no doubt be unable to stop the cow’s attack.
However, because it was sandwiched between houses on both sides of the street, it was difficult for the giant cow to destroy the houses.
