The City of Terror
chapter-473

There was no doubt that these World Tree Leaves would be first-rate after they had completely dried. Although there were veined patterns on top of it, it would not affect the usage.

Wei Xiao Bei calculated the price of the leaves and thought about taking some of them, but in the end, when he inspected the leave’s description, he could only shake his head and give up on his plans.

The reason was simple. The World Tree Leaves could not be brought out of the Dust World. Moreover, it did not have the legendary effect of coming back from the dead. Other than being a lot larger than normal leaves and higher in quality, there were no other prominent benefits.

Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei let Andre pick up some dried firewood nearby. He prepared to light up the bonfire and some roasted meat to replenish their supply.

After all, who knew how much longer they would have to walk in the World Tree. Wei Xiao Bei did not know it nor did anyone else. Now that they were almost three hundred meters above ground, they still could not see the top of the World Tree.

Luckily, even if everything was lacking in this place, there was not a lack of firewood.

Andre decided to tear off the dried bark of one of the World Tree’s walls. It was about ten square meters in size, enough to create a few bonfires.

“Do you know how to roast meat?”

Wei Xiao Bei took out loin meat from the Giant Wolves that he had already prepared while asking Andre.

Andre was a bit excited. On the entire route, he was simply unable to display his worth. He was even worried that Wei Xiao Bei would just leave him the moment he became unhappy.

“I can! Every Norwegian is a master of roasting meat!”

Andre slapped his chest and proudly called out.

These words were not a complete mistake.

Because Norway was close to the Northern Pole, one-third of the country’s lands were inside the Arctic Circle. The main source of food was aquatic animals and meat.

Smoking became their main way of cooking food.

Thus, saying that every Norwegian was a master of roasting was not too unusual, but them being the best was something that Wei Xiao Bei would firmly not acknowledge.

After giving the meat to Andre, Wei Xiao Bei gave him a challenge.

After finding something to do with great difficulty, Andre became excited and planned to display his so-called Norwegian secret roasting technique.

Wei Xiao Bei also moved his attention back to roasting meat.

However, Andre’s expression quickly paled. He already noticed the intoxicating smell from Wei Xiao Bei’s roast meat. On the other hand, Andre’s roast meat was already the best that he had done in his entire life. However, compared to Wei Xiao Bei, even some big-name chefs would not be able to compare.

In the end, Andre could only wholeheartedly admit defeat. Moreover, he began asking about Wei Xiao Bei’s roasting skill.

Although Wei Xiao Bei did not plan on raising Andre to be a roasting master, being able to open up and release his pent up stress was also beneficial.

After using up all the prepared raw meat inside the storage bracelet, Wei Xiao Bei did not continue roasting meat. Although there were still a few giant python corpses inside the storage bracelet that could be turned into roast meat, Wei Xiao Bei already sensed a strange danger that was creeping toward him.

What’s the danger?

Wei Xiao Bei used [Reponse Search] to look at his surroundings countless times. He did not notice anything strange at all other than a slowly spreading vine on a tree branch.

I see it’s coming from the vines!

Wei Xiao Bei immediately opened his eyes and looked at the vines.

The status of the vines immediately appeared in his head.

…

After looking at the status, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but gasp in surprise. The Boston ivy had turned into a normal 3-Star monster!

However, after he took a glance at it, the clumped up dense Boston ivies immediately let out buzzing sounds. Afterward, countless roots with leaves quickly spread and probed in all directions.

The Boston ivy only had ten awareness. After searching for a while and not noticing Wei Xiao Bei or any other person, it went back to its original state and looked harmless again.

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare look down on these Mutated Boston Ivies.

The reason was very simple. The lush green leaves of these Boston ivies were an accumulation of many bones.

Although these bones had already disappeared with the wind, Wei Xiao Bei could still smell the faint scent and aura of the bones.

These bones were most likely from 3-Star Elite Creatures.

Wei Xiao Bei told Andre and Kashmir about it, making them wary of approaching the vines.

These vines possessed a high danger. Once you approach, the vines would quickly bind you, so tight that even Wei Xiao Bei might have a hard time surviving.

After hearing his explanation, Andre’s back immediately let out goosebumps.

He did not want to become just like other monsters that had been bound by the ivies and then been strangled to death.

He remembered a movie about a killer tree that portrayed this scene. Andre could still remember some of it, thus he quickly distanced himself from the ivies.

After eating and resting, Wei Xiao Bie’s gaze kept on looking at the ivies, sizing them up and down.

He wondered if the Life Altar could take in the Boston ivy’s genes.

Just this alone unsettled him. Unfortunately, the Life Altar was still asleep in a state of evolution. Otherwise, he would have tried it.

In the next period, he and Andre had a leisurely chat, from movies to the Venus flytrap that he had seen when he was small. They talked for half an hour without any breaks.

Suddenly, Wei Xiao Bei felt a danger approach and immediately activated [Response Search] to its maximum range.

After it expanded, Wei Xiao Bei’s expression became grave. He waved his left hand at the bonfire to extinguish it with air pressure. Then he caught Andre with his right hand and went up a branch and hid behind a large tree leaf.

“I say, did something happen?”

After clarifying that he was going to follow Wei Xiao Bei in the future, Andre’s speech had changed to this.

“Shut it. Even if it is a sneeze endure it!”

Wei Xiao Bei used a very fierce gaze to look at Andre, then he moved his gaze toward the place where the tree bark and tree branch connected. This was the place where they had entered.

The World Tree’s paths were not a single line. Some countless twists and turns made one get lost.

When Wei Xiao Bei had activated [Response Search], he noticed a swan.

This was the first time he had seen a creature that was quite similar to the real world.

After Wei Xiao Bei had escaped the Einherjar settlement, he simply did not see the appearance of the Valkyrie or the Swan Maidens. Thus, he simply did not know that the swan was the famous Swan Maiden in Norse mythology.

Naturally, even if that was so, he could still feel an abnormal amount of might from it!

The reason was simple. Just when he had expanded [Response Search] to inspect the ascending swan, the other party seemed to have noticed his [Response Search]. Its feathers immediately ruffled up as it looked toward his direction!

It could be said that this was the first time he had been noticed by another creature after using [Response Search]!

Wei Xiao Bei had not tested it on Zhao Yun, but he was able to do it to the 4-Star Generals let alone creatures like the Thousand Eyed Devil, they were simply unable to notice Wei Xiao Bei’s [Response Search.

In other words, his [Response Seach] was absolutely a quiet thing before this. It could not be sensed by other people at all and it was an incredibly safe way to examine the opposite party.

However, it had been perceived by the swan at this moment. This made him feel a sense of danger. He immediately wondered if he should increase his perception subattribute.

After all, his perception was 22.1 until now.

It was indeed a bit weak.

After sensing Wei Xiao Bei’s [Response Search] the swan immediately sped up. It quickly flew out from the tree hole.

Seeing the swan appear, Andre did not hesitate to cover his mouth.

As an Einherjar, Andre still knew what the swan was even if he was not that qualified.

It was the Valkyrie’s strongest subordinate fighter!

According to Norse mythology, every enemy army that the Swan Maiden flew past would receive a devastating attack and lose no matter how strong they were.

As for Kashmir, it also carefully hid inside Wei Xiao Bei’s collar.

The natural enemy of the Fairy was a raven. Although there was no information on whether swans ate fairies or not, this swan was still a lot stronger than a raven. Kashmir was not an idiot. It did not want to try and see if swans ate fairies or not.

When the swan flew out from the hole, it circled the vicinity and quickly found the bonfire left by Wei Xiao Bei.

After noticing that it was still warm, it immediately became furious and loudly screamed.

Even Wei Xiao Bei could tell what it was doing.

This place was the World Tree and did not permit the usage of fire.

Although Wei Xiao Bei hid behind countless World Tree leaves, he was a bit worried.
