Chapter 18 – Hunger

Although it only seemed like a water jet, Wei Xiao Bei did not let down his guard. He quickly leaned his head sideways, but it still slightly touched his cheek.

Wei Xiao Bei immediately felt pain on his cheek, as if his cheek was burning.

Without any hesitation, he used all his strength to swing down the club again.

This powerful attack created a dent in the fish head leader’s skull, causing blood and brain juice to splatter everywhere.

This attack had used all of Wei Xiao Bei’s strength, and all that splattered out landed all over his body.

Luckily, he had already been through a similar experience, so he did not vomit on the spot, nonetheless, he was still disgusted by it.

This attack, naturally, had left Wei Xiao Bei powerless, so he directly sat down on the ground, ignoring how dirty it was. He wanted to take this chance to rest his body.

“Ss!”

He unconsciously touched his left cheek. There was a sharp pain despite his light touch, and blood had stained his hand.

He finally understood that the power behind the jet of water from the fish head leader was nothing to laugh at.

Normally, water at high pressure could at most send a person flying, but the water jet sprayed by the fish head leader was like a knife of water.

If Wei Xiao Bei did not quickly decide to lean his head, then a hole would have probably appeared through it.

He would then lose the power to retaliate and instantly become a corpse.

Compared to normal fish heads, this fish head leader had given him 40 evolution points.

This really reflected the fish head leader’s strength, after all, this kind of secret water jet attack would leave most opponents dead or disabled.

Wei Xiao Bei, after regaining his strength, could suddenly smell a fragrance in the air.

This smell… it seems familiar, but it’s also a little strange.

Wei Xiao Bei frowned. After taking in the fragrance for a few moments, he squatted down and used his knife to cut open the fish head. He dug around for a little before pulling out a solid blue meatball from the fish head leader’s throat.

The fragrance came out from this solid blue meatball!

This seemed to be very similar to the Thunder Worm Electric Ball, but instead, this one smelled more like water.

Wei Xiao Bei closed his eyes and concentrated on the status panel in his mind.

Evolution Points: 100

Items on hand: Fishman Water Ball

His evolution point had reached 100 thanks to the fish head leader giving him 40 points.

The blue meatball in his hand was called the Fishman Water Ball in the Items on hand category.

Moreover, the real name of a fish head was Fishman.

Wei Xiao Bei concentrated on the Fishman Water Ball, and an explanation popped up.

Fishman Water Ball: The source of an Elite Fishman’s strength. Elite Fishmen used this to shoot up to three sharp water jets per day. Not poisonous.

Three sharp water jets!

Wei Xiao Bei recalled the previous situation, a lingering fear appeared in his heart.

Luckily, I was able to deal with it decisively; otherwise, if that Elite Fishman sprayed two more jets of water, I would have most likely not been able to dodge them.

Not poisonous?

Wei Xiao Bei ignored the body on the ground, returning back to his room and immediately swallowed the Fishman Water Ball.

Compared to the disgusting flavour of the Thunder Worm Electric Ball, the Fishman Water Ball tasted like a flavourless ice cube. In a flash, it melted into an ice-cold liquid as if it had been thrown into a furnace, disappearing as he swallowed it.

Wei Xiao Bei lied down on the bed after swallowing the Fishman Water Ball with a feeling of anticipation.

The Elite Fishman’s ability to shoot out a jet of water was not bad. If he could obtain this special ability, then his future battles would be a lot more easier.

After lying down for a while, his body still did not exhibit any change at all. The only thing that had changed was that his evolution points increased from 100 to 120 points.

Wei Xiao Bei sat up and sighed. Without a doubt, the Fishman Water Ball did not give him any special ability and only converted into 20 evolution points.

This meant that the Elite Fishman had given him a total of 60 evolution points, so all in all, it really was not that bad.

Wei Xiao Bei pondered for a bit. If he fought with a single Fishman, he would win 100% of the time, but the amount of energy he used would be a lot. If he met an Elite Fishman or a group of more than five Fishmen, he would definitely be in danger.

Which attribute to put the evolution points in was his final problem.

In the end, Wei Xiao Bei concentrated on his muscle attribute.

His muscle attribute immediately increased from 12 to 13 points.

After using 100 evolution points, his muscle attribute increased by 1 point, making his strength 11.5 points.

Wei Xiao Bei could distinctly feel all his muscles contracting and spasming.

Wei Xiao Bei’s forehead was instantly covered in beads of sweat from the pain he was feeling. He curled his body into a ball and rolled around on the bed trying to distract himself from the pain.

After 10 minutes, Wei Xiao Bei sat back up with his entire body drenched in sweat.

He felt incredibly weak after his muscles spasmed out of control. His muscles did not seem to expand that much compared to before, but he could feel that he was definitely stronger than before.

The result of increasing his muscle attribute was very clear! The amount of strength he was able to exert had become stronger.

This was a progressive growth, leaving Wei Xiao Bei with a bit of expectation for the next evolution point allocation.

Hunger did not only appear due to using his special skills, allocating evolution points resulted in the same.

Wei Xiao Bei immediately ate four pieces of hardtack and drank two bottles of mineral water. Only then was he able to supress his hunger.

There were still 20 evolution points left, but Wei Xiao Bei did not touch them and decided wait until he accumulated more.

After resting a bit, Wei Xiao Bei once again went back behind the courtyard wall to stand guard.

The ones that returned this time were not only the first three that left, but all five of them!
