Chapter 461: Chapter 461 – Divine Bloodline
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
A good half of his arm had been crushed and fractured, as was the left of his chest and his two legs. Most of his blood vessels had also ruptured from the impact! Two splintered ribs had also stabbed into his lungs and liver!
Such wounds would have killed any ordinary person if they did not receive emergency treatment within five minutes.
Only, Wei Xiao Bei could still get up after some difficulty and climb out of the crater.
Where’s the flying pig?
His first reaction was to order the Digging Pigs to catch the flying pig!
However, the very next moment, Wei Xiao Bei realized his order seemed to have been a mistake.
A group of large Digging Pigs instantly surrounded the small little creature that had been scorched black.
There was no doubt that the flying pig had been badly burned by the plasma.
Even so, its might in combat was still very shocking.
After being surrounded by the Digging Pigs, it charged forward with brute strength, plunging into the body of a Digging Pig and carving a hole straight through the poor creature!
Of course, the Digging Pig died instantly.
This didn’t trouble Wei Xiao Bei at all. The problem was that the flying pig started eating the flesh of the Digging Pig and was attempting to recover by doing so.
However, the flying pig’s intentions were easily foiled before Wei Xiao Bei.
Under the Life Altar’s orders, the corpse of the Digging Pig quickly melted and turned into a pool of black liquid.
Wei Xiao Bei would be wasting a lot of flesh in turning the Digging Pig into a black liquid, even if he were to recycle it later.
Still, it was worth it, as the flying pig instantly started throwing up from the stench of the liquid. Without flesh to devour, it was impossible for the flying pig to rapidly recover.
On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei had fractures throughout his body. He couldn’t move yet, but he had the Digging Pigs.
He gave an order and a Digging Pig immediately lifted him with its tusk, before walking up to the charred flying pig.
Before Wei Xiao Bei could even react, the Life Altar became even more agitated. The intentions it was sending to Wei Xiao Bei conveyed a single meaning- let it eat the pig! Eat it!
Wei Xiao Bei was also concerned that the flying pig would flee before he could recover. As such, he no longer held the Life Altar back.
His already bloody left hand shot out a cluster of flesh threads. The flesh threads enveloped the flying pig in the blink of an eye.
That flying pig wanted to struggle, but as the flesh threads continued to tighten and restrict it, the pig couldn’t even breath out from its nostrils, let alone struggle.
A ball of flesh was formed in the blink of an eye.
Wei Xiao Bei’s left arm had been destroyed this time and the Life Altar might have been damaged in some manner due to this. Consequently, it did not drag the ball of flesh back into itself and instead started devouring the flying pig just like that.
The ball of meat was almost completely transparent. Wei Xiao Bei could see the changes happening within the ball with his naked eye alone.
The carbonized flesh was the first to be removed by the flesh threads. After turning into black powder, they were pushed out of the ball of flesh and fell to the ground.
Then, the flesh threads started to extract the fresh and tender flesh of the flying pig.
However, this wasn’t the most important event.
That came after most of the flying pig’s flesh had been unraveled and absorbed. When the bone begins to show, a spot of bright golden light emerged from the flying pig’s body and broke through the constraints of the flesh threads. It charged out of the ball of flesh.
However, the Life Altar seemed to be prepared. A few strands of flesh threads that had been lying around the ball of meat immediately extended. They turned into multiple large webs and wrapped toward the golden light.
The golden light appeared as if it was fighting for its very life and continued to break through the webs without stop.
However, the Life Altar continued to shoot out threads of flesh and wrap the golden light in layers of flesh, making it completely unable to escape.
Meanwhile, Wei Xiao Bei threw out a [Status Appraisal] at the golden light.
Name: Gullinbursti’s Divine Bloodline (Incomplete)
Introduction: This is the legacy bloodline of Gullinbursti, pet of Freyr, Norse god of prosperity. It contains part of Gullinbursti’s divinity.
Effect unknown.
To think that this was Gullinbursti’s divine bloodline!
Just as described in the introduction, Gullinbursti was the pet of Freyr, the god of prosperity. It was a boar with golden hair and was said to be a god of speed. It was the fastest boar in the world.
When Wei Xiao Bei examined the golden light with [Status Appraisal], the Life Altar immediately shot out even more flesh threads, as if afraid that Wei Xiao Bei would take the light from it. The flesh threads bound the golden light tightly and quickly dragged it into Wei Xiao Bei’s left arm.
The moment the golden light entered his left arm, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if an extremely hot flame had been stuffed into his arm. Pulses of warm energy quickly spread from the arm to the rest of his body.
His recovering body started healing at an even faster rate. In just ten seconds, all of his fractured bones, burst blood vessels and even his wounded organs were completely healed as if they were never injured.
Wei Xiao Bei had a sudden inspiration. He immediately checked his status panel and was surprised to find all his attributes increased by 2 points. Moreover, they were still increasing by a rate of 0.01 per second.
What exactly was happening?
He immediately thought of Gullinbursti’s divine bloodline.
Hmm?
Wei Xiao Bei consciously focused his attention on [Electrical Work] and attempted to improve the skill.
However, at this moment, the warm current flowing through his body abruptly vanished, causing Wei Xiao Bei to lose the chance to improve [Electrical Work].
The damned Life Altar had devoured all of Gullinbursti’s bloodline at this crucial moment and had fallen into a deep slumber.
Of course, Wei Xiao Bei wasn’t too dejected. If it wasn’t for the Life Altar acting in time, Gullinbursti’s divine bloodline would have escaped long ago. He wouldn’t even have gotten the slightest benefit out of it.
With the 2 points of attributes he had abruptly obtained and the ten seconds that had passed, Wei Xiao Bei’s attributes had been increased by an average of 2.1 points.
This was already a massive benefit.
It was important to note how tremendous this was. With Wei Xiao Bei’s current attributes, an average increase of 2.1 points across all attributes meant a profit of over 6000 evolution points!
One could only imagine what would happen if Wei Xiao Bei had devoured the entirety of the divine bloodline.
It was unbelievable.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao Bei quickly gathered all his scattered thoughts.
The Life Altar had fallen asleep for an evolution now.
Wei Xiao Bei could only place the corpses back in his storage bracelets and turn to examine the evolution points he currently had.
4382.
At this point, [Status Appraisal] could no longer satisfy his needs.
The attributes of many powerful creatures could not be examined with [Status Appraisal].
This was incredibly disadvantageous for gathering information before combat.
Focused attention! Judgment! Evolution point consumed!
22.11, 22.12, 22.13, 22.14
As the evolution points drained away at a rate of two points per second, Judgement started to rise at 0.1 points a second.
3580 evolution points were consumed!
Judgment was increased to 40!
[Status Appraisal] advanced into [Enlightenment]!
Enlightenment: This ability has advanced from [Status Appraisal] due to the host absorbing a small amount of divine bloodline. All things seen by the host will be automatically analyzed and appraised. Warning: As this ability’s appraisal power is excessively immense, it is advised the host not look upon an existence that is not to be offended! [Eagle Eye], [Deductive Reasoning], [Ten Lines At A Glance], [Bold and Decisive] and other skills may improve the effect of this ability.
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei already felt the power of [Enlightenment] before he even saw the description for the ability.
Truly, it was a bit too powerful.
Name: Root of the World Tree
Introduction: This is the root of the World Tree.
Name: Digging Pig
Name: Digging Pig
Wei Xiao Bei only looked around him and a series of status panels immediately popped up within his vision.
A panel appeared for everything within his sight, even if they were the roots on the ground or the Digging Pigs.
[Enlightenment] made Wei Xiao Bei feel as if he was wearing a computer eye that could continuously analyze everything and display status panels for every little thing.
These status panels in his vision were semi-translucent and would not affect his vision in any manner. Still, the problem was simply how annoying it was. No one would be able to stand so many status panels appear just from looking around.
Wei Xiao Bei wanted to deactivate the ability. However, after several attempts, he very tragically discovered that this ability was passive!
That meant that it could not be deactivated at all!
Of course, if Wei Xiao Bei were to close his eyes right now, he could stop these status panels from appearing.
However, this was most definitely a tremendously troublesome situation for most creatures that were used to gather information on their surroundings through sight.
Wei Xiao Bei was in this awkward situation.
To prevent unnecessary status panels from appearing, his only option was to close his eyes.
Fortunately, even without activating [Response Search], Wei Xiao Bei’s hearing was good enough to prevent him from being ambushed by some weaker monsters.
That said, one had to admit that [Enlightenment] was indeed much more useful than [Status Appraisal]. The status panel that it brought up even contained useful information such as weaknesses and strengths.
For instance, the weakness of the Digging Pig was located on its butt. Its massive size allowed it to charge at very high speeds, but also limited its agility in turning. Consequently, their behinds were their greatest weakness.
Of course, Wei Xiao Bei had no intention of having a single Digging Pig duel another monster. He always summoned them as an entire horde. When they charged in a stampede, the enemy would not have the chance to exploit their weaknesses, even if they were sufficiently agile.
Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t possibly bring the Digging Pigs about for more skirmishes now that the Life Altar had fallen asleep. Thus, he led the remaining forty-seven Digging Pigs toward the World Tree.
Anything he could get his hands on would be a good haul. If he couldn’t find anything valuable, he will go look for Kashmir.
Kashmir might be weak and of absolutely no help to Wei Xiao Bei, but her [Innate Luck] was simply too powerful.
