Chapter 375 – Dryness Endurance, Moisture Absorption

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In less than ten minutes, the Yong which had grasped the helicopter’s weakness knocked all the helicopters to the ground.

The bright burst of explosions filled the soldiers with despair.

After losing the helicopters, they were just like rabbits, waiting to be hunted by the monsters. Although they could still retaliate, it was child’s play for the monsters.

However, even if that was so, the last few Fire Crows had been killed by their firearms.

Compared to the Yongs that could resist bullets, the Fire Crows had weak bodies even if they were covered in flames. Even the weakest gun would cause massive damage to them at a close distance.

However, at this point, the number of soldiers on the battlefield numbered to less than a hundred. Moreover, with the Sacred Beetle and Yong going on a massacre, they quickly decreased.

This should be good enough. If I wait anymore, the other Yong’s blood will have run out.

Wei Xiao Bei, who had lain down on a sand dune to conceal himself, threw himself forward like a spider at that moment. He then stuck close to the ground and crawled toward the bleeding and dying Yong.

At this moment, whether it was human or monster, no one paid any attention to him.

Made it!

With less than thirty meters remaining, Wei Xiao Bei jumped up in the air and pulled out his great spear, directly thrusting it at the Yong.

Puchi!

The incomparably sharp Divine White Mist Great Spear pierced through the Yong.

There was no doubt that the Yong had not yet died.

Wei Xiao Bei held the great spear and bent it to its utmost. It did not break at all as the corpse of the Yong was dragged up by the spear.

In an instant, a large amount of fresh blood followed the spear handle and flowed down to Wei Xiao Bei’s body.

Wei Xiao Bei could now feel that his skin was being corroded as the pain from it was being transmitted.

If it was a normal person, the Yong’s blood would be highly acidic.

When the Yong had finally died, the mist from the great spear came out and entered the Yong’s body. It quickly pulled out the remaining energy left inside the Yong.

300 evolution points obtained!

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but close his eyes. He never imagined that such a strong 2-Star Terror Creature like the Yong would only give him that many evolution points.

It must be known that the Yong had given him 450 evolution points initially!

It was a lot more compared to 3-Star Creatures like the Carthaginian cavalry, torvosaurus, or the Hati’s descendants!

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei did not give in to despair. With his previous experience, he had already known that this was unavoidable.

Very quickly, the blood flowing out the Yong stopped.

Wei Xiao Bei then looked at his status panel.

A new suffix appeared in his special skills.

Dryness Endurance (Elementary): Greatly increases the body’s endurance against dryness. (This skill formed after Wei Xiao Bei bathed in Yong’s Blood. Every time the body bathes in Yong’s Blood, the effect of this skill will increase a bit)

Moisture Absorption (Elementary): Allows the user to use the skin and other body parts to absorb moisture in the air, aiding Dryness Endurance. (This skill formed after Wei Xiao Bei bathed in Yong’s Blood. Every time the body bathes in Yong’s Blood, the effect of this skill will increase a bit)

However, there was no change in the description.

It seems that the special skills before were at the beginner stage in terms of skills, and now, they should be somewhere around the intermediate or advanced stage?

Wei Xiao Bei could feel that his endurance toward dryness had increased a lot. Moreover, he could now absorb some water from the blistering hot desert.

It must be known that previously it was impossible for him to absorb any moisture from the air at all.

Wei Xiao Bei was very satisfied.

However, in the next instant, Wei Xiao Bei’s gaze landed on the Yong circling in the air.

The Yong had destroyed all three helicopters and the soldiers could not deal with the Sacred Beetle. As a result, rational soldiers would aim at the Yong.

Rifles, machine guns, and even the machine-gun cannons mounted on the armored vehicle continuously opened fire at the Yong, causing it to spin everywhere afraid of being shot down.

However, the situation would not last long. The soldiers would run out of bullets, or the Sacred Beetle would scare everyone away due to the threat it possesses.

Seeing that the bullet fire was weakening, the Yong let out a pleasured cry as it dived down.

The lieutenant was its main target.

It had without a doubt succeeded as the lieutenant hiding behind the armored vehicle was only able to cause a few feathers to fall. The Yong’s sharp claws had directly pierced through his body and dragged him to the air.

The ground protruded out and burst, causing sand to fly everywhere, shocking the Yong as it tried to flap its wings to escape.

However, it was unwilling to throw away the lieutenant that it had caught, determining its fate.

As the sand burst, a three-meter long great spear popped out and pierced through the Yong’s chest.

Wei Xiao Bei had actually dug under the sand for a hundred meters. He used the sand as cover and when he saw the Yong dive down, he quickly dug, taking the chance that the Yong could not escape quickly due to it catching someone. He charged out and quickly attacked it.

From any way you look, Wei Xiao Bei had surpassed the Yong, thus his spear piercing toward it had ended the battle.

The incredibly sharp spearhead had run through the lieutenant and did not stop, immediately running through the Yong’s body. A blue-colored electric light immediately passed through the spear, shocking the Yong and the lieutenant.

2000 volts of electricity had paralyzed both targets.

The lieutenant appeared tall and sturdy, but he had instantly died after being electrocuted and pierced through.

On the contrary, the Yong was unwilling to wait for death and struggled for its life.

Wei Xiao Bei lightly shook his hand, causing shockwaves to travel through the handle. In an instant, the organs affected by the light burst.

Even if the Yong drank some Secondary Spring Water of Youth, there was no chance for it to live.

In truth, even if Wei Xiao Bei did not shake his great spear, the Yong would not have lived long as it had lost its blood and was damaged by the corrosive power of the great spear.

Even if it was a Yong, being run through the chest was not something it could just ignore.

The soldiers could not help but open their mouths when they saw the Yong drag away the lieutenant.

In a situation where most of the soldiers had died, the lieutenant was their stabilizing force.

Otherwise, everyone would have already collapsed from the monster attacks.

However, in the next moment, a human figure suddenly came out from the sand with a great spear and pierced through the monster’s chest. Although he had also pierced through the lieutenant, the soldiers became hopeful, as if they were sinners seeing a spider thread dangling down from heaven. Even if they knew that the thread would not be able to save them, they would be unwilling to let go after grabbing on.

They had forgotten about the Sacred Beetle attacking them, and as a result, when Wei Xiao Bei had killed the Yong, more than ten soldiers had already been turned into a paste.

Wei Xiao Bei’s attention was not on the soldiers, but on holding the great spear up to let the Yong’s blood spray on his body.

Compared to the heavily injured Yong, the blood on this one was much more scalding and corrosive. It was to the point that Wei Xiao Bei’s recovered skin could not resist at all. It had been corroded in an instant, and his connective tissues had also begun to corrode.

However, at this point in time, Wei Xiao Bei’s powerful recovery ability made it easy to resist the corrosion of the blood. The connective tissues that had been corroded also easily recovered.

Before the boiling blood cooled off, Wei Xiao Bei’s skin had recovered completely.

He looked at the status panel, but there were no changes to it. However, a progress bar had appeared, showing that it was roughly half full.

In other words, if he killed another Yong, then the special skill would once again level up.

After pulling out the great spear, Wei Xiao Bei turned his gaze to the Sacred Beetle.

There was no doubt that the strongest characteristic of this 3-Star Sacred Beetle was its defense.

It did not have any special skills, and it could only tackle its opponent, but its carapace was very hard.

Even if guided missiles and mortars landed on its body, the most they could do was leave a hole. Wishing to destroy its carapace would probably require 152-milliliter artillery shells.

In any case, if the soldiers wanted to kill it, it was an impossible thing to do.

But Wei Xiao Bei wanted to challenge the Sacred Beetle!
