Chapter 204 – Gargoyles Increasing?
With their brittle bodies, as long as they did not crouch on the ground, it was easy to destroy them.
Naturally,this was only limited to Wei Xiao Bei. Let alone smashing them to pieces, for any normal person escaping from them would already be considered very lucky.
The big question now was what was inside the church.
Wei Xiao Bei looked at it for a while. He noticed that a portion of the Gargoyles would fly away at a certain time, and the amount that returned would decrease. This kept on happening to the point that there were none left.
However, Gargoyles would also come out from the second floor of the church at certain intervals.
Thus, the amount of Gargoyles outside the church did not decrease at all.
Half an hour had passed. Wei Xiao Bei was hesitating whether to continue guarding the place, or quickly leave the place and not waste anymore time.
Stay, leave, stay, leave……
In the end, he decided to leave.
The amount of time he had wasted after entering the Dust World should already be more than an hour. The distance between the Bai Ta Hill and this place was more than 10 kilometers in reality, but this was still indeterminable in the Dust World.
When Wei Xiao Bei thought about this and was about to leave, the tightly shut doors of the church suddenly slowly opened.
A person dressed entirely in black robes walked out.
When that person came out, the Gargoyles moving all around the place immediately became obedient.
They all bowed towards the black robed person, as if subjects meeting their king.
Wei Xiao Bei once again returned back to his hiding position and stared at the black robed person.
The black robed person observed the entire place once and then extended his right hand while holding a rod with a blue gem embedded on it.
“Keduoyima, sasitena, aomisilishi!”
Following the strange gibberish that Wei Xiao Bei did not understand, the Gargoyles immediately busied themselves.
They opened their wings and flew towards the small hill. When they landed, they immediately began to consume the soil there until their stomach protruded like a six month pregnant woman. Afterwards they returned to the empty land in front of the church, and excreted out the soil.
However, the soil on the small hill was yellow-colored. When the Gargoyles ate them and pooped them out, the soil had somehow become black.
The Gargoyles repeated this process of going to the hill and returning to the church, causing the pile of black soil to pile up.
When the soil reached the height of a person, the black robed person waved his rod and a group of buff ash green-skinned monsters came out from the church. They kowtowed at the black robed person before immediately gathering at the pile of soil. Then they used their hands like iron shovels and shoveled the dirt into piles.
The ash green skinned monsters could be considered as skilled workers. After busying themselves, the soil gradually became humanoid shaped sculptures.
After twenty minutes, the monsters had ended up creating a lot of Gargoyle statues in front of the church.
The monsters’ work was very efficient as they had created around a hundred Gargoyle statues.
At this time, the black robed person walked in front of a statue and slowly drew a circle with his rod on the statue’s head. A blue light shot out from the rod and landed on the statue.
After a few seconds, the statue began to move. At first it was a bit clumsy, but after a while, their movements were the same as other Gargoyles. Then they would open their wings and fly towards the small hill, doing what the other Gargoyles were doing.
Afterwards, the black robed person repeated this process, increasing the amount of Gargoyles at that place.
In just half an hour, the amount of Gargoyles that could be seen, including the ones working, had already exceeded 300.
Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei could not help feeling a chill on his back.
According to this trend, the black robed person could create 15,000 Gargoyles per day.
These Gargoyles were not Sacred Beetle Descendants, nor small monsters like the black beetles. They were 2-Star Terror Creatures.
When monsters like this suddenly increase in numbers, even the Shing Wong Border Patroller might not be able to defend against them.
Luckily, it appeared that the black robed person was tired. The blue gem on the rod had lost its light, so the black robed person immediately returned into the church, disappearing through the doors.
Wei Xiao Bei did not dare act rashly without thinking. After watching for a bit longer, he quietly left the place.
However, he marked the place in his heart and would definitely remember to come backin the future.
After walking countless kilometers, Wei Xiao Bei could see the Cao Family Village arch from afar. He immediately turned and walked towards the river.
Now that he was here, Wei Xiao Bei could be said to be in familiar lands. He followed the previous path he walked to make it to Bai Ta Hill.
Other than the giant snake hiding in the river, there were no great dangers.
The path onward was smooth. Wei Xiao Bei tried to remember things on one hand and observe his surroundings in the other.
He was not at the place where the giant snake appeared.
He slowed down his footsteps, stooped down his body, and moved along the river bank on all fours while ignoring the pain in his hands and knees from the rock fragments. He was crawling on the ground like a spider in its own territory.
Wei Xiao Bei decided to use this posture after thoroughly considering things.
Even if the snake saw him as prey, he was close to the ground, so it would not be easy for the snake to just swallow him in one bite. His posture was also a good one for dodging critical situations.
After all, with Wei Xiao Bei’s current power, he was not any slower than walking while on all fours. If he were to get used to this posture, his speed might even become faster.
This was a truth of the natural world.
Running on all fours was a lot faster than running on two legs.
Eh?
What’s that?
When he was approaching the place of the large snake, a humanoid figure wading in the river had drawn in Wei Xiao Bei’s attention.
Wei Xiao Bei’s mind that was originally paying attention to his surroundings and recalling information suddenly let out an alarm. He quickly moved through the river bank and leapt up a large boulder. Then he hid himself behind the rock.
Wei Xiao Bei’s warning was not useless.
The figure from the river had just walked up the river bank and swept the surrounding a few times.
It was a half naked man. His lower body was only covered by a pair of shorts that were almost about to become cloth strips. He had hair that was an inch long which matched his thin but somewhat muscular body.
On his hand was a long tusk that should have come from the boar that Wei Xiao Bei had previously seen.
Wei Xiao Bei focused on this as he doubted where the man found the tusk. It must be known that the giant boar had already been swallowed by the giant snake.
Could it be that this guy dived down and picked it up from the excrements of the giant snake?
However, even if that was so, the man was bold to the point of astonishing people.
It was not that Wei Xiao Bei did not dare do this, but the giant boar was only a 2-Star Terror Creature. Its tusk was only useful for creating weapons. Compared to his Long Bo Leg Hair Great Spear, the difference in grade was too big and not worth risking his life for.
However, Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes wide the next moment.
The man was holding onto a light golden water plant. The fragrance from the plant spread over to him.
Wei Xiao Bei’s mind shook just by smelling the plant. He felt as if his mind had slept for one day and felt refreshed.
That plant is definitely a treasure!
At this moment, the withered trees around the river bank began to move. They pulled out their roots and slowly moved them towards the river bank. Even the giant withered tree at the center of the forest began to move.
Without a doubt, the fragrance had startled the withered trees who did not even move for thousands of years.
In truth, the Monster Trees were not the only ones who began to move. Wei Xiao Bei could hear the sound of running from afar.
The owners of the running sound were a lot faster than the Monster Trees.
Not long after, a group of 5-meter tall giant boars appeared. They appeared like running horses that assembled together and charged over.
Without a doubt, the giant boars were after the light golden water grass on the man’s hand.
If he was not worried about exposing himself to the man, Wei Xiao Bei would have wanted to use [Status Appraisal] in order to understand what kind of treasure the water plant was.
Since the monsters were charging towards the man, Wei Xiao Bei decided to throw a [Status Appraisal] at one of the giant boars.
Name: Dang Kang
Race: Monster Boar
Gender: Male
Age: 10
Creature Rank: 2 Star Terror
(Because there are too many attributes, specially not described)
Skills: Furious Charge, Thick Hide
Evolution Point; X (Unable to accumulate evolution points)
……
So it was a Dang Kang.
Wei Xiao Bei had seen this monster in the internet before.
In the ancient times, these were boars that lived in deep ravines, and they were named after their cries.
These boars were auspicious boars that brought abundance in the harvest time.
Wei Xiao Bei’s [Status Appraisal] did not attract the Dang Kang’s attention.
They only charged towards the man.
On the contrary, the man panicked and placed the water plant into a pouch on his waist. Then he immediately ran towards Wei Xiao Bei’s direction.
This situation could not be helped. In front of him was a group of Dang Kang, on the right side was the group of Monster Trees, and on the left was the river. The man was probably unwilling to dive into the water a second time.
It seemed like the water plant might have been the giant snake’s treasure. If the man jumped down again, wasn’t he just courting death?
Seeing this, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but think of a problem.
Should I also try to obtain the swimming skill?
