Chapter 60 – Mist Draconic Horse

    Wei Xiao Bei had now found himself in the most dangerous situation he had ever encountered since entering The Dust World.

    However, his previous battle with one of the roots had already left him dripping with sweat. He had expended so much energy that both his arms were already trembling, how could he fight two more tree roots?

    In this world, accidents were inevitable, especially in The Dust World.

    Unnoticed by Wei Xiao Bei, the cut off root had been sent flying into the mist.

    Immediately, waves of vapor started to generate, spreading on all sides.

    Something strange was happening to the mist. The mist that had spread all around had gradually condensed, becoming a white horse made from mist.

    Wei Xiao Bei, however, had not noticed the changes to the mist. He was only waiting for the tree roots to arrive before he could sweep towards them.

    Ping! The sound of colliding wood and metal echoed again and again.

    After countless exchanges, Wei Xiao Bei felt his arms go numb.

    In the end, the pitchfork simply could not be compared to a great spear.

    He faintly sighed.

    If he had wielded a great spear, dealing with these two roots would have been a lot easier.

    A great spear was tough and flexible. It would have allowed him to fully display his spear skills in great detail.

    A pitchfork was different. He was unable to dampen the recoil whenever he attacks with it. Moreover, there were a lot of techniques from the Six Harmonies Great Spear that he could not execute with it.

    If Wei Xiao Bei had difficulty in dealing with one root, then was so much more difficult to ward off two roots.

    After only eight exchanges, his right arm had been pierced by one of the tree roots, creating a big hole.

    At this time, even if Wei Xiao Bei wanted to kill his enemies a thousand times, he could only sigh, close his eyes, and await his death.

    However, as the root aimed towards Wei Xiao Bei’s forehead, a gust of wind came from behind him.

    In an instant, the sand on the ground was blown up into the air and the mist filled everywhere.

    Wei Xiao Bei’s vision was completely blocked by the mist.

    What is happening?

    Due to this unexpected incident, Wei Xiao Bei was able to escape. He did not dare stay anymore and ran back while holding the pitchfork in his left hand.

    After running for a bit, his eyes shone bright as he escaped the mist.

    Turning to take a look behind him, he saw that the mist had enveloped the two roots,  faintly seeing a white horse made from the condensed mist running about. It used its hooves to kick the roots and destroy them in an instant.

    The mist continued to quickly move forwards. Not long after, it had charged towards the forest and spread throughout it.

    Once the white horse identified the huge tree, it immediately shrouded the huge tree with mist. Soon, a lot of noise came from the mist.

    While this was happening, Wei Xiao Bei noticed a fragrant scent spreading from the destroyed roots. This made Wei Xiao Bei hesitate in his steps. He clenched his teeth and quickly returned to the place where he fought with the tree root, opened his backpack and placed the broken tree roots inside.

    As soon as he finished, he did not stop and charged back towards the food street.

    The mist in the food street had already dissipated and Wei Xiao Bei had a perfect view. He could clearly see the ruined floor tiles and even the eerie bones of the Shangfus.

    What happened?

    Wei Xiao Bei ran as he kept thinking about what had happened.

    However, he quickly came to a conclusion. The mist that had covered the end of the food street was actually the white horse.

    This discovery had made him slightly frightened.

    After finding a random yard to hide in, he peeked his head out to watch the battle in the distance. The lingering fear in his heart grew the more he looked.

    The fight in the forest was gradually intensifying.

    The exceptionally beautiful white horse was incomparably robust. It was above the ground by nine inches and its entire body bulged with muscles as it soared in the sky like a dragon.

    At this moment, the white horse merged with the mist as it charged towards the huge tree. The huge tree on the other hand used its thousands of roots to attack it like countless spears, turning the white horse into mist in an instance.

    However, it was not like Wei Xiao Bei, where he was unable to resist and resigned to his death. After dispersing, the mist left behind would wrap up the root that attacked it.

    In the end, the huge tree was bound by the mist, and soon, the sound of running water could be heard. In a few moments, the tree roots that had been bound vanished.

    In reality the huge tree was still fine. Only a portion of its roots had corroded. The surrounding trees around the huge tree attempting to help it were also shrouded by the mist. At first, those trees quickly withered yellow and darkened. But soon, a black liquid flowed down the tree trunks. As the black liquid flowed, it had corroded the tree trunks, leaving depressions on them.

    Those trees immediately let out painful groans. The condensed voices were so loud that even Wei Xiao Bei who was hiding afar could hear them. The voices had only started a little while ago yet Wei Xiao Bei already felt his brain split in half.

    What a terrifying battle!

    Wei Xiao Bei looked at the struggling trees within the mist. Eventually, they had been corroded into a black liquid. He couldn’t help but be shocked.

    Luckily, very luckily, the white horse did not appear when he entered the mist. Otherwise, he would not have been able to resist the opponent at all. With his strength, he would have simple been crushed by its sheer power.

    Wei Xiao Bei did not dare relax after thinking this.

    He did not even for once think that the white horse fighting the huge tree was his ally.

    This was basic knowledge in this world.

    The Dust World was not reality. Common sense from reality could not simply be applied to this world.

    For example, in reality, to mingle with others, a person needed to be kind. Only then would they be able to establish a lot of connections, and become successful in business.

    Inside The Dust World, it was pointless to be kind to the monsters.

    In short, he did not have any impulse to join the fray.

    After all, whether it was the white horse or the huge tree, they only needed one attack to smash him into meat paste!

    Even the other trees surrounding it were his enemies

    Although their roots were not as thick as the huge tree, they were still as big as two fingers. A single attack from them would be enough to leave a bloody hole straight through him.

    When the surrounding trees attacked, it would not only be one root. A single movement from them would mean hundreds of tree roots attacking like a countless amount of spears raining down on him.

    For an attack like this, even a trained veteran, let alone Wei Xiao Bei, would have a hard time.
