Chapter 263 - Fiendish Man Fish
Eh?
No, this isn't some black dots but the black beetles!
A few black dots that had been sent flying by Wei Xiao Bei landed towards him, but they was grabbed by him for a look. After carefully examining them, he realized that they were the black beetles that were hiding in the dust.
When the great spear smashed down on the dust, Wei Xiao Bei had gained 27 evolution points.
In other words, Wei Xiao Bei had killed 108 of them in an instance!
Naturally, if the beetles piled up in a straight line, he would have been able to kill a lot more of them.
Whooth!
With another wave, Wei Xiao Bei smashed on another dust pile!
Dust once again filled the air as he obtained 30 evolution points.
However, after these two strikes, the dust all around him appeared to be bubbling.
It was as if the beetles understood that they would be attacked if they continued to hide. As the dust pile shook, the black beetles crawled out and surrounded Wei Xiao Bei.
At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei made an action that would have astonished someone from reality.
He had placed all his clothing and shoes into his Small Holding Bag, lied down on the ground, and rolled towards the black beetles.
In the eyes of the beetles, Wei Xiao Bei's posture did not matter.
Additionally, even if their shells were not as tough as the Sacred Beetles, it would be difficult for Wei Xiao Bei to simply crush them by rolling his body over them.
When humans lie down, their weight would be distributed, making it a better option to stand up and step on the beetles.
However, Wei Xiao Bie would never perform a useless action. As he rolled past above the black beetles, electric sparks would continuously flicker with a crackling sound from below his body.
Between the human body and the ground, electric current was able to smoothly pass through the beetles'' bodies, scorching them and electrocuting them.
These black beetles did not even have the chance to open their mouths as they instantly turned into corpses form the electricity.
The places that Wei Xiao Bei passed through even let out a fragrant smell. It was the smell of the black beetles being roasted by electricity.
The black beetles did not have brains and only chased after him. They never thought about what the electricity coming from his body signified for them.
Wei Xiao Bei felt comfortable. He only needed to adjust his electricity to 1000 volts and 20 milliamperes to kills these black beetles.
As for the consumption of energy, it was a lot less than how he would normally use it to fight.
If it was only this much electrical energy, then Wei Xiao Bei would have no problems releasing it for an entire day, but if it was in its maximum value, then maintaining it for two hours would already be an optimistic estimate.
After rolling around for a while, Wei Xiao Bei's entire body was bathed in the black beetle's body fluids. Moreover, the fluids had mixed with the dust around him turning him into a mud man.
If it was in the real world, Wei Xiao Bei might worry about his reputation, but in the Dust World, there was no one around him. Even if there was, he would still not worry about it.
For every 10 meters that he rolled, he would earn 120-130 evolution points.
Although it was a lot less than when he was fighting with Zombies, if all evolution points from Zombies were added together, it might not even be comparable to the amount that the black beetles gave.
After looking at the black beetles on his two sides, Wei Xiao Bei estimated that there were at least a hundred thousand black beetles.
In other words, if Wei Xiao Bei killed all these black beetles, then he would at least gain 25,000 evolution points!
As long as Wei Xiao Bei continued to roll over them like this, then it would not be a difficult feat to do.
Using the largest surface area that his body could occupy and rolling on the beetles while releasing electricity would probably take him around 33 minutes to kill all of them.
Naturally, this did not include any unexpected events that would increase or decrease the time needed.
Other than time, Wei Xiao Bei needed to pay the price in small injuries. 20 milliamperes was enough to electrocute the beetles, but there were also beetles that could endure for a bit and bite him.
However, it would be difficult for these small injuries to pile up. With his recovery speed, the injuries caused by the beetles would instantly heal up without leaving any scars behind!
This plan was good, but it was difficult to prevent accidents from happening.
After Wei Xiao Bei kept rolling for a while, the black beetles immediately stopped moving, halting their attacks against Wei Xiao Bei. Afterwards, they began to gather on the streets and withdrew towards the lake. Their speed was at least twice as fast as when they were attacking Wei Xiao Bei.
When the black beetles withdrew, Wei Xiao Bei changed his plans of acting like a rolling pin in place and instead rolled after them.
However, the efficiency of this was a lot worse than having the black beetles commit suicide. Initially, rolling twice would have allowed him to kill tens of them, but now he could only do so after 5-6 rolls.
This made him stop attempting to roll over them. He immediately jumped and stood up while holding his great spear. Then with a thrust, he pierced the spearhead into the cement ground. Putting force into his hands, the spear handle curved into an arc, and with a stomp, the cement ground cracked.
Due to the great spear being bent and the cement ground cracked, the spear had dug up a large area of cement sending it into the air. Wei Xiao Bei pulled back the spear and whipped the large piece of ground, causing a loud boom. The cement ground shattered into pieces and rained on the ground.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The pieces of cement were like bullets as they hailed on the ground.
The black beetles that were trying to escape towards Lake Cui were immediately met with a calamity, immediately becoming minced meat under the hail of cement fragments.
In just one move, more than 500 black beetles were turned into minced meat, becoming more than 100 evolution points.
However, Wei Xiao Bei could only do this a few times as the black beetles receded like a tide into Lake Cui.
When Wei Xiao Bei had just come out of the street, he let out a cold sigh. He suddenly noticed that he was less than 500 meters away from Lake Cui.
In other words, the distance between Lake Cui and the apartment street had decreased by more than half.
At this moment, in the dark waters of Lake Cui, green-colored light floated up, sending shivers down Wei Xiao Bei's spine.
As he concentrated his eyesight, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that countless Fiendish Man Fishes had floated up to the surface of the water. Their originally white eyes now let out a green-colored light that appeared terrifying.
So many Fiendish Man Fishes!
Although the Fiendish Man Fishes were only 1-Star Elite Creatures, they had the power to create hallucinations and illusions. When Wei Xiao Bei first caught one of them, he had carelessly been affected. Moreover, when he had eaten their essence, he had even entered a realistic dream.
From this, it could be known that although they were weak, they were still strong in the this aspect.
The number of Fiendish Man Fishes that floated up had exceeded 2000!
Wei Xiao Bei currently did not have any thoughts of jumping into the water and fighting them at close quarters. He immediately retreated backwards and lied down on the dust while only poking out his head to take a look.
Although it was not comfortable, safety was a priority, and it was a lot better than being stared at by the Thousand Eyed Devil.
As previously said, the speed of the black beetles was more than the usual. Thus, the black beetles quickly reached the edge of the lake and crawled into it. They moved passed the lake towards the fake island in the center of it.
This was the first time the fake island appeared, and Wei Xiao Bei had also noticed it at this moment.
Wei Xiao Bei guessed that a new island could have been built in the real world and was now projected into the Dust World.
After all, Wei Xiao Bei had seen constructs in the real world being projected into the Dust World.
However, Wei Xiao Bei was dumbstruck at the scene that happened next.
When the black beetles had not swam too far, the Fiendish Man Fishes that did not move suddenly advanced. They moved as if an exceptional delicacy was placed in front of them. They swam as they threw themselves at the black beetles.
As the Fiendish Man Fishes' eyes glowed green, each of them made the black beetles appear as if they were having their souls sucked in and stopped moving in the water. Then they were swallowed by the Fiendish Man Fishes.
The Fiendish Man Fishes had rows of sharp teeth that were used to deal with the black beetles' hard shell. Once their mouths closed, the black beetles would instantly be bit in half.
The scene appeared to be a large feast.
In front of the Fiendish Man Fishes, the black beetles did not even have the chance to fight back as they were neutralized by the green light coming from their eyes.
In truth, the Fiendish Man Fishes eating the black beetles had completely exceeded Wei Xiao Bei's anticipation.
He had always thought that monster in Lake Cui were all allies of each other.
The reason for this was simple.
The Fiendish Man Fishes could control illusions, and the Thousand Eyed Devil exceeded them in ability. Finally, the black beetles' first appearance appeared as if they were underlings commanded by the Thousand Eyed Devil.
When all this information converged, then anyone would think that the black beetles, the Fiendish Man Fish, and the Thousand Eyed Devil were allies.
Chapter 264 - Terrifying Thousand Eyed Devil
If they were not allies, how could Lake Cui appear to be so peaceful?
However, this scene had destroyed Wei Xiao Bei's guess.
At the very least, the black beetles were not allies with the Fiendish Man Fishes.
In simpler terms, the black beetles were their food.
This slaughter did not stop as the black beetles in the lake continued to increase and spread.
Due to the amount, a tenth of the black beetles had been eaten in just a short 10 minutes by the Fiendish Man Fishes!
It must be known that number of the black beetles were not in the hundred of thousands but in the millions.
The Fiendish Man Fishes ate at a quick pace, one black beetle every two bites. They did not even chew and just swallowed them whole.
Naturally, the main reason for this one tenth decrease was due to the number of Fiendish Man Fish increasing.
Just as Wei Xiao Bei expected, the entire Lake Cui was a monster nest.
As he looked at this, he recalled the thoughts of jumping in the water the first time he entered the Dust World and shivered.
He was weak at that time, but even now, he did not have a guarantee that he could escape if he did so.
This place was entirely a monster concentration camp!
However, soon, the Fiendish Man Fishes appeared to be in a hurry and dove down into the water one after the other as if some terrifying monster had appeared.
Wei Xiao Bei had already seen that a black shadow which exceeded a hundred meters long slowly floated up beside the island. The body exuded a green light that moved back and forth that would make other people think it was a huge jadeite.
Naturally, compared to the Secondary Spring Water of Youth, the green light was subpar.
The Secondary Spring Water of Youth's green light was even greener than the so-called royal green, while the green on the back of the black shadow was only at the level of olive green.
Its entire body was black as if it floated out from the darkness.
When the Fiendish Man Fish hurriedly dove down, a dark green thing burst out from the black shadow.
In a short period of time, the dark green swept through a large half of Lake Cui.
The Fiendish Man Fishes that attempted to dive down all immediately stiffened. After a few seconds, they all swam towards the black shadow.
Wei Xiao Bei only opened his eyes after a while. He inwardly exclaimed over its powerful control over illusions.
In that previous instance, even Wei Xiao Bei who was around 500 meters away from shore felt distraught.
Luckily, his [Iron Will] activated, causing the effects of the green light to disappear.
However, Wei Xiao Bei had unwittingly came out from the dust pile and advanced to around 30 meters from his initial position.
The speed of the effect was too fast!
Wei Xiao Bei simply could not believe it. If his [Iron Will] had not been effective or if he was any closer to the lake, then he might have just jumped in the Lake Cui.
As for life and death, Wei Xiao Bei was unable to predict it.
Without a doubt, the black shadow was the Thousand Eyed Devil.
The might of the Thousand Eyed Devil had exceeded his calculations!
It was probably invincible against anyone on the same level!
Perhaps even the Big Tree Spirit would not be able to escape the Thousand Eyed Devil's control once it entered its range!
Perhaps only the leader of the Monster Tools that was impervious to control would be able to deal with the Thousand Eyed Devil.
Naturally, if he had a means of long range attacks, then he might be able to win against it.
However, Wei Xiao Bei did not have such hopes at the moment. Even if he used [Precise Calculation], he could not tell how he could possibly win.
At this moment, the Thousand Eyed Devil opened its mouth. Those Fiendish Man Fishes that had already lost their minds did not even hesitate as they swum into its mouth.
Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate and ran away.
However, he was not able to notice that when he ran away, the green light that the Thousand Eyed Devil was releasing dimmed like a human relaxing their breath.
As he originally planned, Wei Xiao Bei passed through the food street and headed towards the grassland.
Compared to the black beetles, the amount of Green Dwarves was a lot lesser. However, every Green Dwarf would give him 8 evolution points. They were also easy to anger and force them to come at him from all sides.
The Zombies were also the same in that they gave 8 evolution points, and there were a lot of them. However, they possessed the zombie virus so they only ranked third in Wei Xiao Bei's list.
Naturally, if the Green Dwarf appeared with the Zombies, then Wei Xiao Bei could only go to the desert area.
If it was there, he could go kill the Black Scorpions that gave 50 evolution points or the Sacred Beetle Descendants that gave 5 evolution points. Both were not bad options, but they were too scattered so he could quickly earn evolution points.
After experiencing the power of the Thousand Eyed Devil, Wei Xiao Bei slowed down when he reached the end of the food street.
From the end of the food street, you could see a seemingly peaceful grassland.
On the grassland, the Green Dwarfs were leisurely gathering fruits or taking a rest on the ground.
The thought of being sorry for them passed through Wei Xiao Bei's mind, but his hand did not have any mercy at all. He charged in and whipped out his great spear at them, sending a few Green Dwarfs flying while spitting out blood.
This unforeseen event had instantly scared the Green Dwarfs in the surroundings into a panic as they ran away from Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei killed as he moved, but he was slightly skeptical as the amount of Green Dwarfs had decreased.
This was something that could be seen clearly. When he had previously passed through the grassland, the density of the Green Dwarfs was at least three times the current amount.
What had decreased the amount of Green Dwarfs?
Without any clues and being unable to communicate with the Green Dwarfs, Wei Xiao Bei did not bother solving this mystery, but he instead increased his vigilance.
However, before even walking a kilometer, Wei Xiao Bei understood the reason.
A forest had appeared far away, and a lake was beside it. Its distance from him was at least 10 kilometers.
What made him dumbfounded was that from a kilometer away, there was a group of dinosaurs fighting with a group of Green Dwarfs!
There was no mistake!
They were dinosaurs!
Towards dinosaurs, Wei Xiao Bei was interested and loved them when he was a child. The most famous science fiction film that he watched was titled Dinosaur Corps Koseidon, and its context was the Cretaceous period.
In the film, an alien armada landed on Earth 70 million years ago to launch attacks on the present. The protagonist Go would then fight against the dinosaurs that were controlled by the aliens to save the present and the past.
When Wei Xiao Bei advanced 200 meters, he was already able to identify what type of the dinosaurs these were.
He did not need to use [Status Appraisal] and just remembered it from his memory.
The dinosaurs were the famous velociraptors.
The velociraptors from head to tail had a length of 2 meters. They were experts at running, and the most terrifying aspect about them were the three sickle like claws on each of their hands. Their foot also had a single like claw.
From this it was easy to see how much killing power they had.
The velociraptors were like the pack of wolves in the old era.
They would form groups and attack herbivorous dinosaurs. They even dared to steal food from a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Even the Tyrannosaurus Rex could be defeated by them if it had provoked their grudge.
Naturally, this would take a heavy price on the velociraptors.
In truth, the first time Wei Xiao Bei saw an image of a velociraptor, his spine could not help but shiver.
Now, the Green Dwarfs were subjected to a massacre.
In fact, there were only around five velociraptors, but they were attacking the 30 Green Dwarfs from all sides and use their sickle-like claws to launch sneak attacks. However, they were not greedy. Whether their attacks were successful or not, they would withdraw, not giving the Green Dwarfs any chances to counterattack!
This battle had persisted for a period of time. In the surrounding area, there were already countless Green Dwarf corpses.
For the Green Dwarfs, these 1.5 meter tall dinosaurs were already giants.
As long as their claws touched the necks or stomachs of the Green Dwarfs, it was enough to create a huge injury.
For the Green Dwarfs, all of them dying was only a question of time. The weapons in their hands were simply unable to hit the velociraptors.
The velociraptors were at least 2-Star Elite Creatures!
Wei Xiao Bei felt that he would not be wrong with this.
When he approached them some more, the velociraptors had recognized him as an intruder. They immediately let out high-pitched shrieks.
When Wei Xiao Bei heard it, he felt as if their cries were like the cries of a dying bird.
Status Appraisal!
Since these velociraptors had noticed him, Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate and threw a [Status Appraisal] at one of them.

The status of the velociraptor had surprised Wei Xiao Bei.
They had high agility and awareness, but their strength and vitality were the same as an average man, while their intelligence and charm were rather low.
