Perhaps even steel would be no match in front of this hammer.

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not want to tangle with the dwarves. He leaped and headbutted the two dwarves in front of him and sent them flying. Afterward, the hammers that dropped to the ground were kicked by Wei Xiao Bei, sending them flying away toward the group of dwarves, causing them to spit out blood.

Just like that Wei Xiao Bei did not stay standing and continued crawling on the ground. As long as there were dwarves that approached him, if they were not headbutted, he would kick them and even break their arms, causing them to collapse.

After becoming a neutral jing expert, Wei Xiao Bei’s every movement could become an attack. Now that he was a cosmic jing expert, dealing with the dwarves that were probably 2-Star Terror Creatures was easy as pie.

However, he simply could not use this in the previous battles. If he was dealing with non-intelligent creatures, he only needed his great spear to pierce and thrust.

After colliding with the enemies, Wei Xiao Bei finally killed his way out of their encirclement. He did not use too much strength. When the dwarves spat out blood and saw that he had escaped, they continued to attack the Flame Giants.

The battle unfolding in front of Wei Xiao Bei at the moment was not a chaotic one.

There were rows of Einherjars lined up. Behind them were four two hundred meter tall trees. Naturally, these trees were not even small dots compared to the World Tree.

Wei Xiao Bei could feel the same energy coming from them as the World Tree. The energy was quite vigorous.

Naturally, to dodge unnecessary problems, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare try to check a tree’s status.

Facing this battle formation, let alone Wei Xiao Bei, even ten of him would have a hard time charging in.

Under this kind of situation, his only choice was to wait. He found a depression in the tree roots to lie down in and covered himself in leaves as he waited for the situation to change.

With the chaos of the battlefield, no one would have time to pay attention to Wei Xiao Bei.

Time slowly passed by. In the end, a large giant army had charged into the battlefield.

It was a group of more than two thousand giants. As for the vanguard, it was hundreds of Skeleton Birds.

With the addition of the Skeleton Birds, the situation of the battlefield immediately changed.

Even the 4-Star Giant Python would have its life stolen by the Skeleton Birds without any resistance.

Although the World Tree frantically fought back and shot down a few birds, the panic caused by the Skeleton Birds spread like wildfire.

Moreover, following behind the Skeleton Birds was the giant army. There was not a blade of grass that remained anywhere they went.

In the chaos of the battlefield, the giant army could be called unrivaled. They could destroy any opposing army easily in these skirmishes.

At this time, the last line of defense protecting the World Tree did not sit still anymore. The army began to advance. The four two hundred meter tall trees also pulled out their roots and advanced with the Einherjars.

Even when the Einherjars and the giant trees passed by, Wei Xiao Bei still did not act blindly.

Now that the time was here, he needed to be more cautious. A small moment of carelessness would lead him to eternal damnation.

Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei already commanded his Digging Pigs to look at the Einherjars. He did not follow behind the Einherjars and instead retreated toward the World Tree, finding dense tree leaves to hide in.

Does something seem to be wrong with this little thing?

Because of Kashmir’s existence, the WeaklingPig did not follow along and distanced itself. Wei Xiao Bei used the Weakling Pig’s line of sight to look at the Einherjars, but it was a bit fuzzy.

After all, the Weakling Pig’s vision was not the same as his activation of [Eagle Eye].

Having no choice, he decided to go in and catch Kashmir, as then he would understand the situation.

As the Giant Tree’s steps caused the ground to shake, Wei Xiao Bei carefully extended his head to take a look. At this time, the Einherjar army and the giant army were about to collide. The four Giant Trees had already extended their branches forward and threw elephant-sized fruits at the enemy.

These fruits were similar to durian fruits. The outside was filled with countless spikes. Once they landed on the ground, they would explode and immediately shoot out their spikes, killing any creature in a three hundred-meter radius.

As for the creatures that were hit by the fruit, even if they were Flame Giants, they would die on the spot.

The worst part was that the Giant Trees continuously shot them out. Flowers also bloomed on the branch and then became fruits. Seeing the speed of the fruit’s growth, it would take around twenty minutes to make them completely ripe.

With the fruits ripening on the Giant Tree, a Giant Tree would be able to fire for five minutes straight. In other words, they would be able to bombard the enemy at their full power every fifteen minutes.

In short, the trees might appear useless, but their battle capability was no weaker than the sixty-meter tall giants.

On the other hand, when the giants saw the Giant Trees make a move, they were not afraid at all. They raised their crane-like thick arms and grabbed anything they could get to throw like an artillery shell.

Every formation that was killed by these artillery shells would be instantly covered in blood. Everywhere it hit, the Einherjars would instantly be turned into meat paste or heavily injured.

The battle between the two powerful creatures became a lot fiercer, but the weaker creatures were in a more tragic state as they had become cannon fodder.

Just like that, the battle could be called carnage, giving the Skeleton Birds more chances to attack.

Naturally, at this time, the Skeleton Birds would not dive down. A slight amount of carelessness would make them enter the range of the fruit explosion.

The hardness of the Skeleton Birds’ bones was simply unable to defend against the fruit explosions.

Naturally, some Skeleton Birds dived down to attack the Giant Tree.

The results of that were tragic.

The majority of the Skeleton Birds that launched an attack on the Giant Trees were swatted away by the trees’ branches.

Some of them that managed to get close enough launched attacks, but the Giant Trees did not move at all as if they were not affected.

It was easy to imagine that these Giant Trees had high vitality and firm souls. They completely ignored the effects of [Life Steal].

Naturally, it could also mean that the Giant Trees had a huge amount of vitality. The vitality that those Skeleton Birds have might just be a drop in the ocean in comparison.

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei’s much-awaited opportunity had come.

The majority of the monsters’ attention was now on the battlefield. If it was not like that, then he would become a casualty.

Wei Xiao Bei leaped out from the opening and quickly crawled on the ground. To increase his speed, he had used [Intermediate Power Burst].

He continued until he reached the World Tree, and only then did he relax. Seeing that there were no creatures around the place where the Einherjars lived, he entered the place.

There was no doubt that the senses of the Einherjars toward outsiders were bad. An Einherjar did not even sense Wei Xiao Bei’s arrival even as he stood behind him. The Einherjar only excitedly watched the battle happening outside.

Wei Xiao Bei extended his hand to the back of the Einherjar’s neck. With a shock of internal qi, the Einherjar was ambushed. Before he could struggle, he was like a snake that had lost all its bones and sunk.

“#%?*#...”

Even Kashmir did not sense Wei Xiao Bei’s arrival, showing how powerful Wei Xiao Bei was.

Naturally, this was only because Wei Xiao Bei had temporarily cut off his connection with Kashmir.

This was his protective measure to prevent accidents from happening.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei’s arrival, Kashmir was initially shocked and almost fell down the Einherjar’s helmet. However, after seeing that it was Wei Xiao Bei, it immediately became excited and jumped to his chest. It then grabbed onto the Ming Lun Envoy’s proof and grumbled.

Very regretfully, Wei Xiao Bei had not learned the fairy’s language. Thus even with the spiritual connection between them, he could not understand her words.

Naturally, this was not a big deal. Wei Xiao Bei immediately opened his connection to Kashmir.

Next, Kashmir retold its tale to Wei Xiao Bei, about how it was almost caught by a crow, how it missed Wei Xiao Bei, and in the end, it even told him about the berries it ate yesterday.

It could be said that Kashmir had the potential to become a chatterbox.

Naturally, this might be because it had felt apprehensive after such a long time.

Wei Xiao Bei replied and rubbed its head. He immediately picked up the Einherjar and traversed to the top of the World Tree.

At this time, only walking up the World Tree was considered safe. Anything else was simply suicide.

Wei Xiao Bei needed to find a safer place to be able to do some things.

For someone like Wei Xiao Bei who was a first-timer, the World Tree was simply a maze.

Every single path would branch out every ten or so meters. The least amount of paths it split into was three while the most was ten.
