Chapter 340 – Big Monster Tree

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

As he saw his master appear, Huang Kun couldn’t help but rejoice, “Master, avenge us!”

As Wei Xiao Bei didn’t see many injuries on the two of them, he was relieved and asked what happened.

Apparently, after Wei Xiao Bei left, both Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun stayed near the forest of Monster Trees. They used Dang Kangs to lure out the Monster Trees and kill them.

As these Monster Trees did not possess intelligence, they were easily baited. Both Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun killed them happily. They felt as though they were in heaven.

After killing for a while, Zhu Xin Yi’s spirit gradually recovered a little. As such, while she was killing them, she also began charming several Monster Trees.

However, these charmed Monster Trees caused more trouble than they were worth.

Before, the Big Monster Trees in the depths of the forest of Monster Trees did not react to the killing of the Monster Trees, but after Zhu Xin Yi cast [Charm Control] on them, they began to awaken from their deep sleep.

When Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun noticed the big roots constantly come out of the ground, the Big Monster Trees had already pulled up their roots and walked toward them.

The speed of a Monster Tree was very slow. It was around the same speed as a normal human walk, but these Big Monster Trees were different. Due to their giant size, they were around thirty meters high. They moved ten meters every time they dragged their roots, so their speed was at least comparable to a normal human who was jogging slowly.

Zhu Xin Yi, Huang Kun, the Dang Kangs and the lickers ran away quickly, but a few tree sprouts couldn’t run away. They were crushed easily by those Big Monster Trees.

Until now, Zhu Xin Yi’s face was still a bit pale. The paling of her face was not from shock, instead because if a charmed monster died, Zhu Xin Yi’s spirit would also be damaged quite a bit.

After listening to Huang Kun’s story, Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help but shake his head.

Sure enough, previously Wei Xiao Bei had suspected that Zhu Xin Yi’s [Charm Control] ability was too powerful. He wondered whether there were any limits.

It seemed that it really did have its limits.

The limitation did not only manifest in the form of mental consumption. From Huang Kun’s description, it seemed that those Big Monster Trees rushed straight toward Zhu Xin Yi.

There was no doubt that [Charm Control] would attract the hostility of high-level monsters.

After Wei Xiao Bei revealed his thoughts, Zhu Xin Yi hurriedly nodded, “No wonder when I used [Charm Control] on the lickers last time, they desperately rushed over. If Huang Kun didn’t stop them, I would have been in a dangerous situation.”

Seeing that Zhu Xin Yi was already attuned to this issue, Wei Xiao Bei did not say much. He instead took out some of the roast meat that he cooked earlier.

The high-quality roast meat could fill Huang Kun’s and Zhu Xin Yi’s stomach, as well as recover their spirit and stamina.

As for the rare-quality roast meat, Wei Xiao Bei gave each of them ten pieces. If a piece of rare-quality roast meat was consumed in a time of need, it could even turn the tide of the battle.

After listening to the benefits of the rare-quality roast meat, Huang Kun carefully kept the ten pieces in his bag.

Undoubtedly, compared to Zhu Xin Yi who uses monsters to fight, this meat was more beneficial to Huang Kun, who has to fight monsters at close range.

However, Wei Xiao Bei stopped Huang Kun from keeping the rare-quality roast meat. He instead made them taste one piece in order for them to be familiar with the sudden increase in their muscle attribute.

If they didn’t experience this now, it wouldn’t be a good thing for them to suddenly increase their muscle attribute during a heated battle. Instead, they might not be familiar with the sudden increase in muscle attribute and experience a decrease in their combat effectiveness.

After letting both of them eat a piece of rare-quality roast meat and experience the sudden increase in their muscle attribute, Wei Xiao Bei took them to the hill of Dang Kangs.

Those Big Tree Monsters wouldn’t run from the forest, so it would be better to let his apprentices assist him in his resource gathering.

When they came to the hill of Dang Kangs, they looked at the Dang Kangs foraging for food on the hill, cold sweat ran down Huang Kung’s back.

Of course, even if it was Zhu Xin Yi, her heart skipped a little.

Hundreds of 2-Star Terror Dang Kangs were grouped on a hill, all quite large. Every one of them was as big as an elephant, creating quite a powerful visual impact on onlookers.

Of course, even if it was Wei Xiao Bei, he did not dare to simply provoke these Dang Kang Boars.

If hundreds of these Dang Kangs were to charge down the hill, even Wei Xiao Bei would have to temporarily retreat.

Therefore, when Zhu Xin Yi, who controlled a licker, approached the foot of the mountain, her heart was also anxious.

Obviously, a 2-Star Elite licker didn’t attract the attention of the Dang Kangs. Only when the licker pounced on one of them and used its tongue to leave a small hole on its body, did a Dang Kang became enraged, turning and chasing after the licker.

In terms of speed when running in a straight line, the licker’s speed wasn’t even seven percent of Dang Kangs. Therefore, the licker had to use its flexibility to dodge the charge of Dang Kang while running downhill.

However, the hill wasn’t suitable for the licker to dodge, as the Dang Kangs seemed to be more flexible on the hill than on flat terrain. The licker almost got hit several times. When it reached the bottom of the hill, a few of its intestines were hanging from its waist.

When the Dang Kang rushed down the hill and caught up to the licker, and its fangs were about to pierce the licker’s stomach, another Dang Kang rushed from the side and toppled the first boar to the ground. Wei Xiao Bei then rushed up and beat it up. After the Dang Kang lost most of its ability to move, Zhu Xin Yi used [Charm Control] on it.

To be honest, although Zhu Xin Yi ate a few spirit-regenerating roast portions of meat, it was still a spirit consuming task to control a Dang Kang.

After failing five consecutive times, she finally succeeded on the sixth try. However, after using [Charm Control] on the Dang Kang, Zhu Xin Yi’s face was extremely pale. Before she could eat a slice of spirit-regenerating roast meat, her body turned transparent, and after a while, she left the Dust World and returned to reality.

It was said before that the biggest limitation of [Charm Control] was that the more powerful the monster, the more spirit had to be consumed.

Based on Zhu Xin Yi’s current spirit power, entering the Dust World and using [Charm Control] on a Dang Kang was already her limit. With a bit of spirit left, after replenishing her spirit, and using [Charm Control] on another Dang Kang Boar, her remaining spirit would have been squeezed dry, so it was no wonder that she would be kicked out of the Dust World.

The problem was that he was not sure if there would be any side effects. To be honest, Wei Xiao Bei was a bit worried.

However, worrying about it now was useless.

After Zhu Xin Yi left, Wei Xiao Bei looked at Huang Kun. When he saw his master looking at him, he could not help but shrink in fear. What joke is this? If I were to lure these wild boars wouldn’t it be courting death? My speed is ridiculously slow.

Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei was just looking at Huang Kun.

He knew that if he let Huang Kun go, he would have to clean up Huang Kun’s corpse.

Compared to Zhu Xin Yi, Huang Kun’s overall power was obviously weaker.

He might only be slightly more powerful than a licker.

I really don’t know what his special ability [Fantasy Willpower] is, though it is unfortunate that it can only be activated after he turns 18, or after his willpower, courage and persuasiveness attributes reach 20 points.

Wei Xiao Bei had checked Huang Kun’s status panel previously.

The status of those three had increased, but it was still far from reaching 20 points. If he wanted to activate his special ability, he needed to at least become a 3-Star Creature.

Since Huang Kun couldn’t do it, then Wei Xiao Bei had to do it himself.

To avoid detection from the Dang Kangs, Wei Xiao Bei crawled on the ground.

Wei Xiao Bei had previously used this type of movement multiple times. Although its speed was slower than a full-speed sprint, it was more flexible to crawl up the hill.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei crawling toward the foot of the hill in a flash, Huang Kun couldn’t help but reveal a feeling of admiration on his face.

In Huang Kun’s mind, his master was really powerful. If he were to crawl on the ground, he wouldn’t be able to reach even twenty percent of his master’s speed.

Wei Xiao Bei arrived at the foot of the mountain in an instant. He observed the activity area of the Dang Kangs, and he could not stop himself from frowning.

These wild boars were tightly packed together on the top of the mountain. They were going around looking for food, and their paths were crossing each other. If he attacked one wild boar, the other wild boars would most likely be agitated.

After observing for quite a while, Wei Xiao Bei crawled toward one boar. After he got within the right distance, he threw a stone at the boar.

Pch!

After a small crack, the stone drilled into the boar’s abdomen. The boar screamed while the stone left a hole in its abdomen, then it charged toward Wei Xiao Bei.

However, when the one boar started charging, the ten Dang Kangs near it also started charging. The charge of the ten Dang Kangs also drew the attention of even more wild boars.

It was just like a domino effect, one piece falling creating a chain effect. In the end, hundreds of wild boars were chasing behind Wei Xiao Bei.

Huang Kun was a little dumbfounded.

Isn’t master too much of a badass? He actually provoked all the wild boars.

When Huang Kun noticed Wei Xiao Bei running toward him, he was startled and turned to run. However, he did not run far before Wei Xiao Bei caught up to him and carried him on his shoulder.

Of course, he was carried by Wei Xiao Bei. This stupid Huang Kun didn’t know to run to the side. Running into a straight line would only lead to death.

Wei Xiao Bei scolded Huang Kun before increasing his speed. Those Dang Kangs who were running ahead charged into the forest of Monster Trees.
