Chapter 195 - Black Brick Kiln?
What kind of joke was that. He had found himself a friend with great difficulty. Moreover, it was an aboriginal who provided many benefits. Even an idiot would not think that the benefits of eliminating the local god would be better than not doing so.
Additionally, Wei Xiao Bei's bottom line principle did not allow him to do so.
The territory of the temple would become smaller and smaller. On the surface, the local god seemed to not mind it, but reading deeper into it meant that there might be danger lurking if he continued.
"Right, it's been so long that I forgot to ask. Does Sir Wei have any business in coming here?"
The local god suddenly thought about it and asked Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei had been too happy at receiving information about the Dust World that he had completely forgot about the matter of pursuing Zhu Yi Duo.
Luckily, the local god had asked him; otherwise, he would not have remembered.
The little girl had also told him to try asking the local god for help.
Therefore, Wei Xiao Bei told the local god about the reason why he came, and he even clearly said that he was chasing after a murderer who was out for revenge.
"Murderer? Is Sir Wei talking about a serial killer? Thinking about it, this little god had encountered a half-monster whose body reeked of blood and grudges. It was a human but also a monster. It even treated this little god rudely, so this little god suppressed him within a censer, whittling away the bloody scent. This was only a small contribution for the temple."
Although the local god talked about this easily, Wei Xiao Bei's back had a slight chill. He felt that the 'contribution' the local god was talking about was not a good thing.
Luckily, they were friends and not enemies!
In the next moment, Wei Xiao Bei calmed down.
Under the guidance of the local god, he followed behind him inside the main temple hall.
There was only one main hall for the temple, while the side halls were all used by the local god.
At the center of the hall, there was an uncarved spirit tablet.
When he thought about it, this was normal. If the local god needed something done, he did not even need to pray to another god. He could just do it himself.
In front of the spirit tablet was a long record. There was a fruit offering on top of the record. And further front was a censer about a half of a man tall.
Wei Xiao Bei inspected both items.
The information he obtained suddenly gave him the urge to go and steal both of them.
Name: Incense Fruit Offering
Description: This fruit offering seeped the incense smoke from inside the local god's temple for many years.
Effect 1: All attributes increase by 1.
Effect 2: All skills increase by 1 rank.
Notice: This item can only be eaten once a month.
…...
Compared to the Incense Fruit, an extra word increased the effects of the item by leaps and bounds.
For others, increasing every attribute by 1 point was the same as 1900 evolution points.
But, for Wei Xiao Bei, this was equivalent to 3100 evolution points. It must be known that the amount of evolution points needed to increase attributes at 20 points was twice the amount needed before 20 points.
The second effect of having all skills increased by 1 rank also made Wei Xiao Bei drool.
No Matter what was said, it was sometimes easy to earn evolution points, killing one round of monsters would give thousands of them. But in the Dust World, luck seemed to be nonexistent. There would be times where the gains would require risking one's life.
One failure could instantly result in death, losing everything in an instant.
For a treasure like the Incense Fruit Offering which ignored the increased cost of evolution points, its worth was higher, the stronger the person eating it was.
However, compared to the censer, the fruit was a lot inferior.
Name: Ground Suppression Censer (??)
Description: This item is a treasure used for suppression and transportation.
Effect 1: Every month, the ability [Return of Spring] can be used. Increases the growth speed of plants within 500 meters.
Effect 2: Every day, you can activate [Territorial Suppression] three times. Anyone whose divinity is lower than a local god would be pressed down.
Effect 3: Within 30 meter radius, all evils will be repelled and all magics will be blocked.
Effect 4: Doubles attribute values and increases effect of special skills by 1 level.
Effect 5: ???
Effect 6: ???
…...
There was a total of 6 effects. Although he could not see the last two, Wei Xiao Bei already became hot blooded.
Wei Xiao Bei felt that [Return of Spring] did not have a huge benefit to him. At most, it could allow him to plant vegetation to eat his fill.
For the second effect, [Territorial Suppression], Wei Xiao Bei wondered what divinity meat and guessed that it should have something to do with the position of gods.
This made it useless for Wei Xiao Bei.
For the third effect, he felt that it was alright.
However, he felt fear at the fourth effect.
If he had this effect of having his attributes doubled and having increased special skill effect by 1 level, his battle strength would double!
It must be known that attribute doubling was not something as simple as 1+1=2.
The change would be terrifying.
As for the question marks, they should be better effects, but he could not see through them.
His hot bloodedness increased, but he immediately extinguished it in the next moment.
Wei Xiao Bei pulled back his gaze on the censer and looked at the local god, he inquired, "Where is the serial killer that you are talking about?"
"Hehe, its inside the censer."
The local god smiled and pointed at the censer. Immediately, the censer slowly became transparent.
Wei Xiao Bei's eyesight was so powerful that he did not want to let go of any details.
When the censer became transparent, the thing inside immediately appeared.
He could see a farm land half filled with lush crops and the other half being plowed.
There was a black wolf with a plow attached to it while it diligently worked, opening up the hard soil. Behind it was one of the local god's messenger holding a whip while whipping the black wolf from time to time.
When the whip landed, the black wolf's body would have a bloody lash mark. The blood flowed down the wolf fur, dropping and merging with the soil. When the messenger stepped on the soil, a soft shoot would quickly grow, becoming crops in a few moments.
Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei had an understanding.
The censer was a real treasure!
It even had its own magical space inside!
The black wolf was without a doubt Zhu Yi Duo. Now, he was a black wolf that was made to continue plowing inside. Moreover, the blood that dropped on the ground from him being whipped would become crops.
Wei Xiao Bei could guess that the blood that dropped on the ground was the blood essence of the black wolf. As for how long the black wolf could last, Wei Xiao Bei did not know.
This was simply darker than a black brick kiln!
Wei Xiao Bei could not help but give the amiable-looking local god a strange look.
You can't really judge a person by their appearance, just as you can't measure the sea with a pint pot.
Who would have known that the amiable-looking local god would catch people and throw them in the censer, letting them suffer while using their blood for crops.
The local god also noticed Wei Xiao Bei's gaze and blushed. He coughed, "Cough, cough. This can be considered as recycling garbage. It had a debt of blood drenched all over its body. Even if it died, it would probably become a dangerous zombie in the future. So its better like this, afterall, my subordinates also need to eat food."
The local god explained to Wei Xiao Bei about Spirit Rice and how it came from within the censer.
The crop's grains had a golden cover. With just a light pinch, the jade-like granule popped out while letting out a wonderful aroma.
The shell of the Spirit Rice could be eaten raw or cooked and was enough to sustain a normal person for a week. For the messengers, the main food was the shell while the granule was like a tonic.
Even the local god needed to eat Spirit Rice from time to time in order to recover from the injuries that he obtained from purifying the Evil Land.
With the Spirit Rice in the local god's hands, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare throw a [Status Appraisal]. A small amount of carelessness would make him hit the local god and harm the friendly relationship by chance.
Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei did not ask for a Spirit Rice from the local god even when they left the hall.
It appeared that the local god had a tight security over it. In Wei Xiao Bei's eyes, it appeared that this Spirit Rice should not be known outside.
After drinking two more cups of tea, Wei Xiao Bei had been sent off by the local god. After waving goodbye, Wei Xiao Bei felt his eyes blur, and when he was able to see clearly again, he was outside the temple.
He gazed at the far away temple while feeling that his current visit to the Dust World was too mythical.
After estimating the time, he felt that he had been inside the Dust World for over six hours. A faint dizziness surged to his head, giving Wei Xiao Bei no chance to leave the place. He tried to walk toward the temple's territory before lying down and closing his eyes.
It was risky for Wei Xiao Bei to fell asleep there, but he had no other choice apart from this. Afterall, Wei Xiao Bei was still a stranger to the place.
Randomly finding a place to sleep was too dangerous. Now that he was within the temple's territory, the local god would help him just based on him being the Ming Lun Envoy's friend.
…...
When he opened his eyes, he saw the moonlight coming from the window. Wei Xiao Bei knew that he had returned to the real world.
He pulled out his phone and saw that it was 2 a.m. in the morning.
Wei Xiao Bei laughed at the thought that Zhu Yi Duo was being made to work hard by the local god inside the censer.
This was truly like being turned into a horse.
As a protector of the place, the local god could absolutely not be some lenient god.
No matter what was said, Zhu Yi Duo should not think about happy occasions anymore.
Unless the local god was willing to to set him free, he could only continue working.
In truth, the local god had told Wei Xiao Bei to feel relieved when he left. Although Zhu Yi Duo was a half-monster, he could only stay and work within the censer for less than a year. Saying this, the local god even had a regret on his face.
