Chapter 463 - Soul Pearl


Chapter 463: Chapter 463 – Soul Pearl

The Skeleton Bird had already cut the distance between it and the Digging Pig to five hundred meters. In truth, if the altitude had been removed, it was only three hundred meters away.

The Skeleton Bird began to increase in speed. Wei Xiao Bie had already hidden under the Digging Pig and commanded it to slow down.

Since the Skeleton Bird had already locked in on it, then there was only one chance to escape. In the end, since the danger was unavoidable, it would be better to take the initiative. No matter what was said, with the Digging Pig blocking for him, his opportunity to strike would be big.

With the lands flat, the Digging Pig was able to slow down, decreasing the distance to less than a hundred meters.

If the Skeleton Bird had intelligence, then it would have felt that something was wrong, but the Skeleton Bird did not react to it at all. It followed its consistent fighting pattern. It closed its wings and quickly dove down toward the Digging pig.

Height of 150 meters! 100 meters! 80 meters! 60 meters! 50 meters!

Just when the Skeleton Bird decreased its altitude to fifty meters, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed his grasp on the Digging Pig’s fur and sent himself forward.

Naturally, this speed could not compare to the speed of the Digging Pig. Thus the pig had separated by ten meters from Wei Xiao Bei. At this moment, the distance between the pig and the bird was less than twenty meters.

The Skeleton Bird opened its mouth and the soul flames in its eyes lit up. A strange wave was suddenly emitted. Wei Xiao Bei immediately cut off his connection to the Digging Pig and saw that it had immediately stopped while running. In the next instant, it had lost momentum and collapsed on the ground. Its big body rolled, causing a small quake.

Wei Xiao Bei knew that at this moment, the Digging Pig had completely lost all life.

He ignored the body of the pig that had begun to melt and activated his skills.

Activate Intermediate Power Burst!

Activate Lithe as a Swallow!

Activate Eagle Eye!

Activate Bold and Decisive!

Begin qi circulation!

Wei Xiao Bei stomped on the ground with a layer of cosmic jing under his feet, causing him to jump up before he could even touch the ground as he shot forward like an arrow.

At the same time, he took out the Hard Metal Jian and aimed at the Skeleton Bird that had tried to slow down its diving speed and about to pull back up.

The Skeleton Bird was quite valiant. Even in the face of an ambush, it did not hesitate to slow down and moved its beak toward Wei Xiao Bei.

It could be said that the speed at which it turned was quite fast, but Wei Xiao Bei’s ambush was even faster.

Thus, just when the distance was less than ten meters, the beak had already pointed at Wei Xiao Bei and was slowly opening.

Naturally, if the naked eye was used to look at it, the beak was opening quite fast.

No matter how fast Wei Xiao Bei was even with his skills and cosmic qi, he could not be faster than the activation of his opponent’s attack

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not panic as his eyes opened and stared at the Skeleton Bird.

Nibelungen Envoy?

Wasn’t Nobelungen the Norse land of the dead? Could the Skeleton Bird be a death god’s envoy?

It’s no wonder that it has such an ability such as Life Steal.

Life Steal: With the will of the death gods, the Skeleton Bird could steal its target’s life. This ability possesses the will of a god and can only be resisted by one’s vitality and the firmness of their soul.

Undead Eye: As an undead, the Skeleton Bird will not be affected by any illusions and can see the truth of things.

Negative Effect Immunity: As an undead, the Skeleton Bird is immune to any negative effects such as illusion, and poison.

After looking at the Skeleton Bird’s status panel, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but exclaim. Just looking at the Skeleton Bird’s status would make one think that it was only a 3-Star Creature, 3-Star Elite at most.

However, Wei Xiao Bei had a premonition that the three special skills made the Skeleton Bird reach the level of a 4-Star Creature.

What terrifying special skills!

Monsters like the Skeleton Bird were like an atomic bomb. Although they did not have high defense, once they attack, it would probably be at the level of the 4-Star Disaster Creature Fire Dragon.

In simpler terms, once the Skeleton Bird chose its target, if the vitality or the firmness of the soul of the target was not enough, then it would be instant death.

Wei Xiao Bei’s brain came across strings of thought.

At this moment, the Skeleton Bird also appeared as if it was a bird that had been struck by lightning. It had been struck by [Enlightening] and could not control its body as it dropped toward the ground!

Chance!

Wei Xiao Bei knew that he only gained the advantage after using [Enlightenment].

In the face of [Enlightenment], the Skeleton Bird would feel as if its soul was being peeked at.

Moreover, it appeared that the effect was not small.

However, the Skeleton Bird was still a 4-Star Creature. Even if it had influence, it would only hit the ground and quickly get back on its feet.

Thus, Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate. He circulated his qi and used Thousand Kilogram Drop, descending to the ground. Then, the Hard Metal Jian in his right hand was smashed toward the Skeleton Bird while in midair!

Without any sound, his strike was like smashing tofu. The ribs of the Skeleton Bird instantly became dust that scattered through the air.

With just one strike, three of the Skeleton Bird’s ribs were crushed to powder.

However, the next thing that happened made Wei Xiao Bei flabbergasted.

The Skeleton Bird was smashed to the ground. The hard roots of the World Tree were not damaged, but the bird’s bones scattered everywhere.

Isn’t the Skeleton Bird’s skeleton too meaningless?

Even if he was stunned, Wei Xiao Bei immediately charged forward once he landed on the ground. He once again smashed with the Hard Metal Jian toward the Skeleton Bird’s skull that was bouncing around.

With a crack, the jian landed on the skull and cracked it. From inside, a ball of soul flame came out.

However, once the soul flame dropped and popped out from the skull, it automatically extinguished and left behind a small blue pearl.

Wei Xiao Bei picked it up and inspected it as information immediately popped into his head.

Name: Skeleton Bird’s Soul Pearl (Rare Quality)

Description: This item is the essence crystal of the Skeleton Bird after its soul flame had been extinguished.

Effect 1: Eating this would make the soul firmer.

Effect 2: Because the Skeleton Bird is an undead creature, anyone eating this would receive the invasion of undead influence. Effects unknown.

Wei Xiao Bei was a bit depressed that a 4-Star Creature like the Skeleton Bird would only drop a rare quality treasure.

However, after considering that the Skeleton Bird did not have much in battle ability, dropping such a thing was not bad, even if Wei Xiao Bei had risked his life.

Additionally, one Skeleton Bird had given him 1400 evolution points. This was already not bad.

Make the soul firmer?

Wei Xiao Bei immediately considered the Skeleton Bird’s [Life Steal] skill. That ability’s effect depended on the opponent’s vitality and firmness of soul.

However, eating the pearl would cause the invasion of undead influence, making him hesitate a bit.

After pondering a bit, he considered that he was in the World Tree Dust World, a very dangerous place. In the end, he gave up on the thought of eating it at the moment.

Moreover, he only had one pearl. He did not know how effective eating one was. Thus, he decided to get more.

This could only be blamed on the clear weakness of the Skeleton Bird.

Its entire body was simply weak. It could be known just from the fact that its strength was 12 points and its vitality was 11 points.

It must be known that the body of the Skeleton Bird was not considered small. However, such a body only had so little strength and vitality.

Soon after, Wei Xiao Bei once again reconnected to his Digging Pigs to inspect his troops. With just this disconnection, his Digging Pigs had mostly been killed.

Until now, there were only eight fortunate ones that lived.

From this, it could be seen how much killing power the Skeleton Birds had.

Although he did not know why the Skeleton Birds that were the death god’s envoys were teaming up with the giants, he knew one thing. These things were here to commit a massacre, and there was a possibility that they were here to get rid of the World Tree.

Naturally, if they could destroy the World Tree, then all problems would be solved as everybody would die together.

This could be seen in Norse mythology. The giants possess a self-destructive consciousness. After killing the gods and destroying the World Tree, they would also die together.

Next, Wei Xiao Bei used his connection with the Digging Pigs to guide their path of escape. Then he ran toward the closest Digging Pig.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei wanted to take the chance while his [Intermediate Power Burst] was not yet over to go kill a few more Skeleton Birds. Once the effect runs out, only then he would be weakened. Then he would run away, otherwise, it would be too dangerous.
