The City of Terror-Chapter 583 - Scarlet Pheasant Egg

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

At that instant, Wei Xiao Bei felt his strength leave him along with the water.

He immediately understood it and remembered he also had a similar ability.

At this time, while he was receiving [Desertification], he remembered that he also had this ability.

Desertification (Basic): After continuously bathing in Yong’s blood, Moisture Absorption has changed. The host can now absorb all the fluid within a one-meter radius. The effect of this ability is not limited to air and creatures. To level up this skill, the host needs to bathe in the blood of monsters with a higher rank.

Activate Desertification!

Without any hesitation, Wei Xiao Bei activated [Desertification].

In an instant, the feeling that water content was evaporating from his body was relieved.

However, it only slowed down.

There was no doubt that Wei Xiao Bei’s [Desertification (Basic)] was something that he gained from bathing in Yong’s blood many times. On the other hand, the Fei Yis had already possessed this ability since birth. The level of their ability was definitely higher than his.

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not only possess the [Desertification (Basic)] skill!

In the next moment, electricity came out of his body. The powerful electric current instantly charged through the Fei Yis’ bodies.

No matter how the Fei Yis endured, they would not be able to adapt to such a high voltage in a short period of time.

They immediately loosened their bite and even loosened their hold on Wei Xiao Bei. Wei Xiao Bei immediately shook with all his might, causing the snake’s joints to break. The two Fei Yis immediately went limp.

Wei Xiao Bei’s shake was not a normal shake. His shake had instantly dislocated all of the Fei Yis joints.

In other words, unless Wei Xiao Bei healed them, the Fei Yis would never be able to recover with just their own ability.

With that said, Wei Xiao Bei originally had little interest in the [Desertification] skill.

The skill could only absorb water content within a one-meter radius, even if it was a creature’s water content.

However, if the enemy let Wei Xiao Bei approach to within one meter, they might only be able to wait for death. What would Wei Xiao Bei use this skill for? Why did he have to wait for his enemies to die slowly from losing water content?

This was why he felt that the skill was weak. The [Desertification] skill was just that bad in fights.

However, after capturing two Fei Yis now and experiencing their [Desertification], Wei Xiao Bei’s interest in the skill had been aroused.

It must be said that Wei Xiao Bei felt a bit terrified when the Fei Yis used the [Desertification] skill.

Even if they did not touch him, they could take away his water content!

If the special skill was leveled up, there were some special situations that might be useful.

For example, if he encountered an enemy with high defense and electricity was useless, he could use [Desertification] to steal the enemy’s water content, causing them to lose fighting power.

Using this skill to capture enemies alive was not bad.

Isn’t the Mutated Farmer’s Market too slow?

Wie Xiao Bei almost wanted to bathe in the Fei Yis’ blood to strengthen his [Desertification].

However, when he thought about the Mutated Farmer’s Market approaching, he decided to give up his plans.

There was one downside to using the monster’s blood to level up his skills. The blood itself could cause damage to Wei Xiao Bei.

For example, the Bi Fang’s blood had burned Wei Xiao Bei’s body when he used it.

The Fei Yis’ blood should be able to cause more damage.

After all, after bathing in it, he would need to endure the pain to level up his skill.

Just like that, when the Mutated Farmer’s Market made it there, Wei Xiao Bei might not be able to escape.

I should endure it.

Wei Xiao Bei suppressed his interest and began to busy himself.

It must be said that the Fei Yis had met their misfortune when they encountered Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei used the dagger to make small cuts in the Fei Yis’ tail. After squeezing out all the blood, he stored it into his storage bracelet.

In order to prevent the Fei Yis from dying and to continue generating blood, Wei Xiao Bei only extracted 80% of its blood.

The Fei Yis’ blood was not bad. 80% of the two Fei Yis’ blood was around 200 milliliters.

If humans were drained of 80% of their blood, they might not be able to live anymore. However, the Fei Yi was a 3-Star Elite creature. Moreover, the Snake Race lived long lives. Taking 80% of its blood only caused it to faint and remain unconscious.

Seeing that the Fei Yis would not wake up in a short amount of time, he directly strapped the two of them to his waist, turning them into belts.

After busying himself, the Mutated Farmer’s Market’s aggressive body was only 3000 meters away.

At this time, the mountain range’s resting Fire Crows all went and charged toward the Mutated Farmer’s Market.

Perhaps because these Fire Crows’ memory was short, they did not have any fear. Seeing a big monster they were not afraid at all and dared to circle above it.

There were even some Fire Crows that landed on the roof of the tall building.

Naturally, it would not end well for anyone who dared to do this.

The cement wave immediately surged and devoured the Fire Crows.

There was no doubt that the Fire Crows gave the Mutated Farmer’s Market a nice surprise. In response, the wave of cement tried to surge up toward the Fire Crows.

After a few Fire Crows fell down, they, unfortunately, met their end. The remaining Fire Crows were not as stupid as they escaped. Although a few of them could not escape from the Mutated Farmer’s Market, most still escaped.

In the next moment, the Mutated Farmer’s Market experienced the same treatment as Wei Xiao Bei. A Scarlet Pheasant appeared from the top of a mountain and charged down on the Mutated Farmer’s Market.

The Scarlet Pheasant was indeed quite fast. The Fire Crows could not compare at all. The Mutated Farmer’s Market appeared to be unable to react as the Scarlet Phrasant’s flames landed on the tall building. Afterward, the flames rose to the skies. The cement wave appeared too late as it could not even grasp a single feather.

However, the Flame Ability that the Scarlet Pheasant possessed would not able to deal any damage to the Mutated Farmer’s Market at all.

The Mutated Farmer’s Market might be able to move, but its body was still made of cement and steel.

If the Scarlet Pheasant wanted to ignore it, its temperature was not high enough.

After attacking a few times without any results, the Scarlet Pheasant once again rose up and flew back to the top of the mountain.

With the unsuccessful attack of the Scarlet Pheasant, the Fei Yis did not appear.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei continued to climb to the top of the mountain.

The foot of the hill was the most dangerous place, especially with the quickly approaching Mutated Farmer’s Market and once the Fire Dragon wakes up, he might be the first victim.

Wei Xiao Bei was very fast. Although the temperature of the rocks was high, they did not reach 600 degrees. For Wei Xiao Bei it was very warm.

In less than 10 seconds, he reached the summit.

When he reached the summit, he became extremely cautious and checked the situation.

This could not be helped. The mountain range was a Fire Dragon, on the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei’s [Response Pulse] was able to scan most of the area, but the Fire Dragon’s body was a black area. When the [Response Pulse] scanned through the wall, it could not do so at all. Thus, Wei Xiao Bei could only climb up the summit and use his naked eye to look.

There was nothing special at the summit. It was also covered in scalding red rocks. There was even a group of Fire Crows that were laying on the rocks. Under some of their bodies were burning red egg-shaped objects.

Okay, they were indeed eggs.

They were Fire Crow eggs.

Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes lit up.

He had tried it before. It was hard to put living animals into his storage bracelet. A creature that reached a certain level of intelligence could not be placed inside.

However, the eggs were different. Even if the Fire Crows had intelligence, the eggs did not have any.

After taking two steps forward, the Fire Crows immediately ran away, but they rotated high in the air and glared at Wei Xiao Bei like tigers.

Wei Xiao Bei did not pay attention to their gazes at all. He took all the eggs one by one and stored them.

The mountain range formed by the Fire Dragon was probably the best place to incubate these eggs. Therefore, there were not too many Fire Crow eggs on the rocks. In a short amount of time, Wei Xiao Bei had taken 200 eggs.

When he reached a crevice, he was once again attacked by Scarlet Pheasants.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei was already used to their attacks. As long as they dared to charge at him, they were not able to escape.

They could not do anything at all. These Scarlet Pheasants might have strong attacks, but their bodies were weak. Wei Xiao Bei only needed to pinch them to break their necks.

After collecting four Scarlet Pheasant corpses, Wei Xiao Bei noticed some eggs in the crevice. They were Scarlet Pheasant eggs.

The Fire Crow eggs were dark red in color. The red was quite faint and was they were the same size as a chicken egg. However, the Scarlet Pheasant eggs were light red. There were a total of 18 of them and roughly the size of goose eggs.

Wei Xiao Bei happily stored the Scarlet Pheasant eggs. He thought for a bit and decided to also store some of the rocks there into his storage bracelet.

Wei Xiao Bei had not yet decided if he would incubate these eggs or cook them. However, if he incubated them, then he would need these rocks.

It must be said that there was nothing special about the Fire Dragon’s rocks. Wei Xiao Bei checked their information and knew that they were not even manufacturing materials. However, they could continuously release warmth and were an essential item in incubating Fire-Type Monster Eggs.

After collecting these items, Wei Xiao Bei walked along the mountain ridges toward the back. He wanted to prevent the Fire Dragon from accidentally injuring him, so he could only hide at the rear ridges.

On his way there, Wei Xiao Bei encountered two more Fei Yis. Just like before, he dislocated all their joints, drained them of blood, and tied them to his waist. Moreover, from their nest, he was able to find 6 yellow ostrich-sized eggs.

Next, Wei Xiao Bei stopped his leisurely attitude of finding treasure. This was because the Mutated Farmer’s Market was now less than 100 meters away.
