Although he had paid a lot during this trip to Bai Ta Hills, Wei Xiao Bei felt that his gains outweighed his losses.
Just his curse being removed and obtaining the Plague of Misfortune Powder and the Storage Bracelet could already be considered a return on his investment. Additionally, he had obtained spices and seasonings as a bonus.
The only thing that Wei Xiao Bei regrets were that he did not find a way to heal Zhao Yun’s wound.
Since the Ming Lun Envoy had no way, Wei Xiao Bei could only attempt one other method. That was to let his Fledgling Life Altar evolve and absorb the True Sun Fire. The only thing he did not know was what level it should be increased to.
Additionally, he needed to also increase his [Medicine] skill. Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei immediately moved his attention to his status panel.
Evolution Points: 2660
This number was fortunate as it was enough to allow his [Medicine] skill to level up.
Wei Xiao Bei immediately moved his attention to his [Medicine] skill, making his evolution points decrease quickly. On the other hand, the color of the skill changed from cyan and grew darker. In the end, it became light blue.
At this time, the suffix attached to the [Medicine] skill changed from perfection to greater heights.
After using 1000 evolution points, [Medicine] reached greater heights, giving new revelations to Wei Xiao Bei. That said, he did not have any injuries for him to treat at the moment. Thus, Wei Xiao Bei could not directly observe the effects of this level up.
As for the remaining 1660 evolution points, Wei Xiao Bei was hesitant. He temporarily did not use it and decided to increase his intelligence and charm at a later time.
After deciding on how to use his evolution points, Wei Xiao Bei stood up and decided to survey the area. The place should be downstream to the river. If he goes up, then he would reach the Dang Kang mountain. Further ahead was the Monster Tree forest, and afterward was the Ba Serpent’s hiding spot.
The Dang Kang’s of the Dang Kang mountain had already been led by him to the Monster Tree forest, and they had all died there. On the other hand, he did not dare provoke the Giant Monster Tree and the Ba Serpent at the moment. Thus he decided to continue downstream to see what was there. The flesh storage of the Fledgling Life Altar had not yet been filled.
As he went downstream, small creeks branched into the river, expanding its width.
Soon, Wei Xiao Bei could see three Dang Kangs eating dried grass by the shore. They snorted as they swayed.
Just on time!
Wei Xiao Bei immediately quickened his pace. Because he did not conceal himself, the Dang Kangs quickly noticed him.
There was no doubt that they were not vegetarians. Compared to the hard to swallow grass, Wei Xiao Bei’s juicy body was attracted to their appetite.
They immediately charged at him, slightly opening their mouths as saliva flowed out. It could be seen that they were craving for him a lot.
The Dang Kangs were only 2-Star Terror Creatures. When Wei Xiao Bei was the same creature rank as them, he could already easily deal with them, let alone now.
When these Dang Kangs reached Wei Xiao Bei, their charge did not affect the opponent at all. They did not even hit the figure of their enemy as he had vanished before their eyes. They only felt a sharp pain on their neck as they lost consciousness and laid down the ground.
Wei Xiao Bei had jumped up in the air and thrust with his great spear, causing the three Dang Kangs to lie down on the ground.
The spear penetrated the Dang Kangs’ napes and went straight through into their brain. No matter how strong their recovery ability was, they could not return from the dead.
Even Wei Xiao Bei would be dead from receiving this attack, let alone the Dang Kangs.
After killing these three Dang Kangs, Wei Xiao Bei immediately placed two Dang Kangs into his bracelet. The remaining Dang Kang was currently being sucked by the tendrils that came out of his palm.
The Life Altar’s storage was continuously being filled up. When the Dang Kang had mostly shrunk, the Fledgling Life Altar signaled that it was full.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei began to look into how to evolve the Life Altar.
The Fledgling Life Altar could breed three kinds of creatures.
The first type was a Dang Kang-like creature. Naturally, the creature that was summoned was not as strong as the Dang Kang. It could barely serve as a monitoring tool and a tracking tool. There was not much use for it.
As for the remaining two, Wei Xiao Bei had not encountered any strong creatures, thus they had not finalized.
But now, because there was some Bi Fang viscera left inside the bracelet, Wei Xiao Bei had made a decision.
He extended his hand as a crack opened in his palm. Wei Xiao Bei took out a finger-sized cut of the Bi Fang’s intestine.
This much was enough. Soon after, the crack let out thin tendrils that wrapped around the Bi Fang’s intestine and pulled it in.
At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei had closed his eyes. In his mind, a bird-shaped creature was continuously forming among the three figures.
Compared to pre-evolution, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that the Life Altar’s link with him had become stronger. It became a lot easier for him to shape the creature in his mind.
Naturally, the foundational creature’s template was the Bi Fang. However, the power of the Fledgling Life Altar was limited and quite simplified.
Wei Xiao Bei was only helping it model the template.
Soon, a bird appeared among the three forms. From its appearance, it was a reduced form of the Bi Fang. It had cyan feathers but did not have the red clouds surrounding it.
As for how strong it was, it could only be discovered after it comes out.
Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes and extended his left hand. Soon after tendrils once again flew out and jumped at the remains of the Dang Kang’s corpse, tearing apart and devouring its flesh.
Soon, the strands tangled together, becoming a human-sized ball.
This was the new ability that could be used after the Life Altar leveled up, being able to use external flesh to breed creatures.
Naturally, this ability did not appear in its status. There was no doubt that this ability could economize its flesh storage.
Being able to create a human-sized ball already made Wei Xiao Bei satisfied.
It must be known that at the start, the creature that he had initially created formed a fist-sized ball that gave him tooth aching pain.
Now, it was at least human-sized and already a lot stronger than the fist-sized ball. It could be seen that the effects of devouring the Anagami Finger Bone were not bad.
The speed at which the creature was bred had also increased by a lot.
It only took 12-13 minutes for the ball to begin to split. A wet cyan-colored bird struggled out, giving it its all.
This cyan bird was smaller than a person when it came out. However, after eating the remaining flesh, its body grew to a third of a meter.
After its body grew, the cyan-colored bird trembled. After it finished trembling, its dry feathers immediately became fluffy. It then flew up from the ground and immediately landed on Wei Xiao Bei’s shoulder. It did not even let out a cry as it cheerfully arranged its feathers. Heatwaves emitted from its body. Wei Xiao Bei judged that its body temperature was at least 90 degrees.
This body temperature was far from the Bi Fang’s, but it was already enough to scald another person.
At this moment, the cyan bird looked the same as the Bi Fang. Who knows, people might even think that it was the Bi Fang’s chick.
Wei Xiao Bei threw a [Status Appraisal] at the small cyan bird to check its status.
The cyan bird’s name was ‘Foundational Creature 2.’ Anyone who saw it would be speechless. Luckily as its master, he could change its name. With a thought, he changed its name to High-Temperature Bird.
It was a simpler name.
Name: High-Temperature Bird.
Race: Life Altar Breeded Creature.
Gender: None
Creature Rank: 1-Star
Status:
Strength: 4
Agility: 12
Vitality: 4
Intelligence: 3
Awareness: 9
Charm: 6
Skill: Flight, Peck
Special Skill: High Temperature (90 degrees)
Evolution Points: X (Cannot Accumulate Evolution Points)
Items on Hand: None.
….
Its status was not bad.
For a normal 1-Star Creature, Wei Xiao Bei was not satisfied with it.
However, it was already stronger than the weakling pig by a lot.
Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and the High-Temperature Bird immediately flapped its wings and landed on the ground. Wei Xiao Bei once again extended his hand, causing a small crack to appear and shoot out small tendrils that wrapped the High-Temperature Bird up. Afterward, the half-transparent tendril let out a red glow.
Modulation, the Fledgling Life Altar could consume a certain amount of flesh to perform modulation on the foundational creature and increase its strength.
The so-called modulation was not something that could be done as Wei Xiao Bei wanted. This kind of modulation had its own rules. After modulating a foundational creature, it would be strengthened, but the strengthening would depend on the consumed flesh.
Soon, the insertion stopped and Wei Xiao Bei put away the tendrils.
At this moment, the ball had expanded to half the size of a person at around 90 cm.
Wei Xiao Bei looked at the flesh storage of the Life Altar and it had consumed around 200 grams!
The ball began to rock. Soon a small crack appeared and a bird came out, shattering the ball into pieces.
A bird around the height of Wei Xiao Bei drilled out and began to eat the flesh fragments.
