Chapter 276 - Terrifying, Wriggling Piece of Meat
However, if Wei Xiao Bei used all his strength and power ups, then his muscles and some of his smaller bones might not be able to handle the power.
Thus, after seeing that his evolution points had accumulated quite a bit, he raised all sub attributes under agility to 30 points.
Hand-eye coordination and flexibility both consumed 400 evolution points each while reflex and balance consumed 800 points each, using up a total of 2400 evolution points. This left him with 1480 evolution points.
As his agility increased, Wei Xiao Bei could feel the imbalance in his body due to his high strength decrease.
Previously, he was only able to control 80% of his strength with the support of his qi, but now it was 100%.
Naturally, if his strength and agility were both the same, then he could probably display 120% of his power.
Increasing agility did not only increase speed, but it also increased control of strength.
In short, if Wei Xiao Bei's strength was 20 and his agility was 20, then he could crush open 300 rice husks in a minute.
If his strength was 40 while his agility was 20, let alone opening rice husks, he would have turned the rice into dust the moment he pressed his fingers together.
The strange feeling born from the difference in strength and agility would make it difficult to control the excess power, making small things hard to do.
In short, Wei Xiao Bei was satisfied with his addition.
However, this was limited to not increasing his own strength.
If his strength increased again, then he would have problems controlling his strength again. This was something that could not be avoided.
Because his agility was now 30 points, Wei Xiao Bei's speed had exceeded that of most cars. With only 30 points in agility, it was still difficult to catch up to sports cars that could reach 200 kilometers in just a few seconds.
After all, his endurance was only 20 points. Running for a long time was an impossible thing to accomplish.
If he decreased the speed by half, then he could maintain running for around five hours.
While he was pondering this, he looked at the grassland ahead and quickly found marks that the Zhou Xing Yuan's car left behind.
This way.
When he found the direction of Zhou Xing Yuan, Wei Xiao Bei began to slow down his pace. After all, conserving energy was important in the Dust World.
With monsters that could appear anytime in the Dust World, not conserving energy was courting death.
After walking a short distance, he heard the sound of engine rumbling from the distance. Wei Xiao Bei raised his eyebrows as he could not understand why Zhou Xing Yuan had been able to return without dying.
However, when he saw the car, his expression became heavy.
He could feel a slight danger coming from above the car.
The danger level was low, but he still raised his vigilance.
When Zhou Xing Yuan who was running for his life saw Wei Xiao Bei, his fear indescribably disappeared.
With a creak, the speeding car stopped in front of Wei Xiao Bei, and Zhou Xing Yuan quickly opened the door as he ran towards Wei Xiao Bei.
At this moment, all of Zhou Xing Yuan's calculative thoughts had been tossed to the back of his mind. His only thought was that once he reached Wei Xiao Bei's side, every danger would disappear.
Even he did not know why he had such thoughts, but it could not be doubted that Wei Xiao Bei was a strong and bottomless existence in his eyes.
Zhou Xing Yuan was doubting Wei Xiao Bei's humanity and thought that he was a monster which had transformed from a dinosaur.
When he ran towards Wei Xiao Bei, Wei Xiao Bei moved and charged towards Zhou Xing Yuan. Wei Xiao Bei touched his bag and pulled out the jian, immeidately smashing towards Zhou Xing Yuan.
Zhou Xing Yuan was startled. He closed his eyes and sighed as he thought that he could not escape death in the end.
Although he did not know why Wei Xiao Bei suddenly did this, he knew that he could not retaliate at all in front of him.
However, after closing his eyes, he could not feel any pain nor the jian hitting him at all. On the contrary, he heard the sound of the wind scraping by his ears as a popping sound came from behind him.
When he opened his eyes to take a look behind him, he noticed that the jian was covered in meat.
As a normal person, Zhou Xing Yuan could not notice the piece of meat stuck onto his car, but Wei Xiao Bei was able to immediately notice it.
The meat was very strange. It had actually came down from the car by itself and followed behind Zhou Xing Yuan like a worm.
When Wei Xiao Bei's gaze landed on its body, the meat appeared to have sensed great danger as it shrunk and sprung out towards Zhou Xing Yuan.
If Wei Xiao Bei was not fast enough to kill it, then the meat would have landed on Zhou Xing Yuan's body.
As for what would happen after, he had a rough guess.
In other words, the consequences would be bad if Zhou Xing Yuan was hit by it.
When Zhou Xing Yuan saw the meat that was still wriggling after being smashed by the jian, he understood what was happening as lingering fear stayed in his heart.
Towards strange things, a vile stigma was naturally placed on it.
Zhou Xing Yuan was not willing to throw away his pride and thank Wei Xiao Bei, but the gratitude in his heart had increased.
Wei Xiao Bei frowned. The smell and aura of the meat felt very familiar to him. He pondered in his mind and found the origin of this familiarity.
This feeling was similar to the Mutated Farmer's Market. This smell was the same as the one that came from Mao An Ge.
With a shake, the remains of meat on the jian was shaken off. After the meat was smashed, it had lost its vitality as it disappeared on the ground like water.
This shake was a very profound technique within Bajiquan. Although it had been passed down until today, it was a technique that was close to extinction.
Everyone knew how to do it, but only a few could actually do it.
Anyone who wanted to learn this technique needed to have a deep and profound understanding of Bajiquan. The second requirement was speed, very fast speed.
The second condition was the hardest to fulfill.
With the first condition, it was pardonable that it was almost extinct.
Although Wei Xiao Bei had learned this technique, he did not attach any value to it. He only thought that it was good for cleaning the Hard Metal Jian.
In the end, he noticed that this technique was similar to the vibration strike of the jian, but there were differences.
Using this technique required at least 15 points in agility. This amount was something the majority of people could only dream of.
Using this technique properly would then require a higher amount.
"Did you encounter anything when you ran away?"
Wei Xiao Bei directly asked.
Just from seeing the mark on the car, he could tell that Zhou Xing Yuan had encountered something.
Zhou Xing Yuan did not hide anything. He immediately recounted his encounter. Whenever he thought of the monster he encountered, his spine would chill at the monster that exceeded a normal person's imagination..
Compared to it, dinosaurs were much more normal.
It was a single-eyed humanoid monster!
Although the one-eyed characteristic was not familiar, the humanoid meat monster was a specialty of the Mutated Farmer's Market.
Wei Xiao Bei frowned as it was clear that the Mutated Farmer's Market had noticed that he had entered the Dust World and dispatched a monster to hunt him down.
However, Zhou Xing Yuan had blown up the monster's eye, slowing down its speed.
I should kill this monster.
Wei Xiao Bei made a decision.
Compared to the monster that had transformed from Mao An Ge, it was very clear that this humanoid monster was much more stranger, especially the self-moving meat that had separated from the main body. It was as if the meat had a life of its own, making Wei Xiao Bei slightly fearful.
This thing was something impossible to defend against effectively. Carelessness could let the meat attach itself to a person's body, resulting in death.
Wei Xiao Bei did not dare say that he could defend against monsters that could drill into bodies.
This was too different from the normal situation.
Even stronger monsters would have a hard time defending against a monster that could drill into bodies.
This was the difference between in and out.
"Let's go and take a look."
Wei Xiao Bei walked towards the car and beckoned Zhou Xing Yuan.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing Yuan's eyes widened.
He already felt that he was very lucky to have escaped from that monster. Now, Wei Xiao Bei was actually telling him to go back and take a look at it.
This was simple courting disaster.
Zhou Xing Yuan hesitated. Although he was unwilling to admit that he had begun to admire Wei Xiao Bei, going with Wei Xiao Bei to court death was something he was unwilling to do after his long experience of life.
However, if he did not go, he might offend Wei Xiao Bei.
This was truly a difficult decision for him to make.
Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei did not make things difficult for him. Seeing that Zhou Xing Yuan did not budge, he turned around and pulled him in the car.
Chapter 277 - Meat Control
Zhou Xing Yuan had been stuffed into the passenger seat while Wei Xiao Bei took the driver seat.
During this entire process, Zhou Xing Yuan did not have the leeway to resist at all. He could only sit down on the passenger seat and be resigned to his fate.
On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei's spirit was trembling with excitement. He started the engine and stepped on the accelerator, causing the car to speed forward.
"This car isn't bad."
Wei Xiao Bei excitedly drove the car for a round in the grasslands before driving it towards Cui Hu University.
It was clear that the car was a lot better than the minivan that his third senior apprentice brother left him.
It had a higher horsepower and better controls. With just one touch of the steering wheel, Wei Xiao Bei immediately understood how great the car was.
"If little brother Wei likes it, then I'll give it to you as a present."
Zhou Xing Yuan saw that Wei Xiao Bei was interested in the car and also thought about how he was going to return back to the real world let alone the car.
Thus, he dispiritedly said these words. He played down the millions of yuan that the luxury car costed and gifted it to Wei Xiao Bei.
In truth, giving away a luxury car that costed millions of yuan was a bit painful for him.
Although Zhou Xing Yuan was one of the Da Hao Group's executives, millions of yuan was not something he could just throw away easily.
However, he corrected his thoughts. Although he liked the car, it was already a useless object once it ran out of gas in this world. He'd rather take the chance to give it away while it still had value now to improve their relationship.
Wei Xiao Bei faintly smiled at how Zhou Xing Yuan was currying favor.
If he was still working back in the Da Hao Real Estate, he would have been jumping happily if someone gifted him a car that was worth millions.
But now, Wei Xiao Bei was calm and collected.
Zhou Xin Yuan was thinking about how it would become trash once it lost fuel in the Dust World unless one could find fuel inside this environment.
However, Wei Xiao Bei had second thoughts. He thought that some parts of the car might be useful. He did not decline Zhou Xing Yuan and just nodded his head showing that he was grateful.
Seeing that Wei Xiao Bei accepted the car, Zhou Xing Yuan's heart calmed down as he let out a light sigh.
This feeling was something that he had not encountered for a long time now.
The last time he felt that way was when he relied on Wan Da Hao and when Wan Da Hao agreed to his request.
Naturally, if he could return to the real world, Zhou Xing Yuan had decided that he would never come back to the Dust World.
For a successful person like Zhou Xing Yuan, the Dust World was unfathomable.
Moreover, his occupation was not in the Dust World. Only those people who don't have jobs would choose to enter the Dust World willingly.
No matter what was said, the Volvo was not Wei Xiao Bei's private property.
Creak!
Wei Xiao Bei drove more steadily than Zhou Xing Yuan. Although they were in the grassland and the car would slightly shake, the shaking had slowly made Zhou Xing Yuan sleepy.
His mind was too tense. Now that he had someone to rely on, Zhou Xing Yuan relaxed and almost fell asleep.
However, not long after, Wei Xiao Bei heavily stepped on the breaks, almost sending Zhou Xing Yuan, who was not wearing a seatbelt, through the windshield.
"What happened?"
The dazed Zhou Xing Yuan had believed that he was preparing to go to work and asked with a bit of satisfaction. However, he immediately sobered up in the next moment.
He was not on the road to work but in this strange and damned place!
"Hide a bit farther, that thing is coming!"
Wei Xiao Bei opened the car doors and got down while pulling Zhou Xing Yuan to the driver seat.
That thing is coming?
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei's back, Zhou Xing Yuan's mind had not completely sobered up as he subconsciously stepped on the gas. Soon, his body trembled as he came to his senses.
Its that humanoid meat monster!
It is definitely that thing!
As he remembered it, Zhou Xing Yuan's mind became completely awake. He operated the steering wheel, but after driving for a while, he stopped the car and quickly drove it around as he looked at Wei Xiao Bei's back.
Having no choice, a question suddenly popped up in Zhou Xing Yuan's head. If he ran away, he would have escaped a danger, but if Wei Xiao Bei died, then how much longer would he be able survive in this place?
Thus, Zhou Xing Yuan could only steel his nerves and wait in a place that he could still see Wei Xiao Bei.
At the very least he wanted to wait for Wei Xiao Bei to die before escaping.
This could not be said to be Zhou Xing Yuan's betrayal.
After all, their relationship was at most acquaintances at the moment. The other important point was that Zhou Xing Yuan was helpless in the Dust World.
When Zhou Xing Yuan drove away, Wei Xiao Bei walked a few steps before stopping. He took out the Hard Metal Jian as his gaze unconsciously moved about, but soon he quickly stared at the figure that was running towards him.
He was able to clearly see a two meter tall monster that appeared as if a skeleton covered in layers of meat.
Other than having a single eye in its face, two hands, and two legs, there did not appear to be any other organs outside its body.
The entire body of the monster appeared like it was clay and looked extremely frightening.
Its recovery was quite strong as Wei Xiao Bei saw that the monster's eye had completely recovered.
In terms of body structure, the monster was different from a normal person.
Its joints were protruding backwards like locusts. When it landed on the ground, its back legs folded adding force to its jump.
The moment it saw Wei Xiao Bei, its single eye stared at Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei could feel the aura floating behind its back, as if something that was not there was borrowing its body to look at him.
Whoosh!
Wei Xiao Bei would not give the other side the chance to look at him. He inserted his foot on the ground and kicked forward, sending the grass and soil at it like bullets.
With Wei Xiao Bei's 40 points in muscle and sturdiness, the force behind this kick exceeded 3000 kilograms!
This 3000 kilogram force was packed into a fist-sized soil. The force was not as simple as only having 3000 kilograms.
It was like a needle that only needed a kilogram of force to easily puncture human skin. However, if a kilogram force was used on a chopstick, penetrating the skin would not be possible.
The problem here was pressure.
Under the same force, smaller objects had much more destructive power.
Compared to Mao An Ge, this monster was a bit smarter.
However, it was only a little bit smarter.
If Mao An Ge faced the soil that Wei Xiao Bei had kicked, then he would not dodge it. He only knew how to charge ahead.
If it was not like that Wei Xiao Bei would have a harder time against him.
This monster was a bit smarter. Seeing that the soil was flying at it, it stretched out his hand and wanted to block it with its strength.
Boom!
The soil had instantly destroyed the monster's hands. Afterwards, the slightly slowed soil directly struck at the monster's chest. In an instant, the monster was sent flying. Countless pieces of meat splashed everywhere.
The force from when the soil touched the monster's body was the same as an artillery shell.
The soil was not able to penetrate the monster's chest. It was only able to shatter a bit of the meat on its body and expose the white bones.
Wei Xiao Bei frowned. He stamped the ground with his right leg and chased after the moneter. At the same time, he used [Status Appraisal] on it.
A normal 3-Star Creature!
After obtaining the monster's information, he looked at it again.
The monster was called Mu Tian. Its name did not have a 'fake chosen one' title like Mao An Ge, but it was deeply controlled.
He guessed that it was probably another pitiful soul that had entered the Dust World and had been controlled by the Mutated Farmer's Market.
Its status was blocked.
Its skills were visible. There were [Intermediate Power Burst] and [Quick Jump]. Compared to Mao An Ge who had three skills, this one only had two.
Its special skills on the other hand were different from Mao An Ge.
It had [Meat Control], [Control Resistance], [Physical Damage Resistance], and [Bone Strengthening].
It had four special abilities just like Mao An Ge.
However, meat control had surprised Wei Xiao Bei.
Meat Control: The user can control meat that had separated from their body and let them invade the enemy's body.
It was a simple description, but the information contained within it was not normal.
[Bone Strengthening] had made the monster sturdier, preventing the soil from penetrating!
Its sturdiness should not be lower than Wei Xiao Bei's and might even be higher.
Naturally, the monster was only using its bones to support itself. The meat's toughness was almost non-existent while the bones were incredibly hard. If it was not like that, then the soil would have easily penetrated.
Wei Xiao Bei was very fast. In just a few seconds, he had arrived in front of the monster. He did not stop as he smashed the jian on its head.
Boom!
The sound of metal hitting each other echoes. The monster's head sunk down into the ground.
However, even if it was so, the monster did not show that it was damaged. Its neck did not even show any signs of being broken.
What strong bones!
However, Wei Xiao Bei was also stronger than before.
Eh?
When Wei Xiao Bei was about to strike again and thoroughly send this monster off, he felt that something was wrong with his back, legs, and other body parts. He felt a slight chill enter them.
