Chapter 468: Chapter 468 – Pedestal Fragment of the Fountain of Youth

“Originally, I never divulged my identity. In the past, anyone who found out was killed by me.”
Saying this, Wei Xiao Bei paused. Andre’s body trembled. He knew that he could not win against the person before him.
Luckily, the other side had not yet finished speaking.
Andre was able to calm down a bit.
“It depends on whether you have any worth. If you don’t…..”
Before Wei Xiao Bei finished his words, Andre pounced forward. This was not to attack Wei Xiao Bei but to grasp at Wei Xiao Bei’s leg. He pleaded, “I have worth! I have worth! I know where the Einherjars hide their treasures! Oh right! I also have this!”
Saying so, Andre’s expression became pained as if his member was cut off. He took out a small bag with two wooden test tubes.
What was surprising was that the wooden test tubes had grown a sprout. It could be seen that these test tubes had been inside Andre’s bag for months already.
Wei Xiao Bei took them and pulled out the cork. A familiar smell wafted to his nose.
Secondary Spring Water of Youth!
There was no mistake, he was already too familiar with its smell.
Thinking about it, Wei Xiao Bei had received a lot of heavy injuries before this and drank two mouthfuls, how could he not be familiar with it?
“Secondary Spring Water of Youth?”
Wei Xiao Bei unconsciously asked.
“Right! It is the Spring Water of Youth! Drinking this would allow you to gain immortality.”
After Andre cried out, he could not help but become sullen. He had previously taken some spring water with great difficulty when a robber had previously come to steal some. Now, it had been extorted out of him. He would naturally feel pained.
Wei Xiao Bei did not pay any attention to the fact that Andre called it Spring Water of Youth. After all, normal people couldn’t identify its true name.
“Then bring me to the Einherjar’s gathering place.”
Wei Xiao Bei also knew that with the giant army’s attack, the Einherjar would only have a few guards at their settlements, perhaps they might even decrease as the battle goes on.
Previously, he did not know that the spring water was produced by the pedestal fragment. If he did, he would have taken the fragment instead.
However, it was not too late to do so. This time a big battle had attracted the Einherjars’ attention. It was the right moment for him to make a move.
Andre also did not have a sense of belonging to the Einherjar. Additionally, he had originally been looking for a strong supporter. Although he could not see how strong Wei Xiao Bei was, he knew that he was a lot stronger than him.
Thus, the two of them hit it off easily. Andre immediately prepared to get up and lead the way.
However, Andre had previously been shaken by Wei Xiao Bei. The side effects had not yet disappeared, causing him to almost fall.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei was not in a rush. At the very least, the longer the battle continued, the more Einherjars would leave the settlements, allowing him to easily enter the place and commit theft.
“Eat something first.”
Wei Xiao Bei took out a few pieces of roasted meat in his right hand. With a blue arc of lightning, the originally cold meat was quickly heated up by the electricity, letting out an alluring smell.
As his [Electrical Work] reached an unfathomable level, Wei Xiao Bei’s control over [Release Electricity] had increased a lot. This was something that can be seen in the [Electrical Work]’s description.
With him now able to do such a thing, he controlled the electricity to the level of heating up food.
It could be said that the fragrance of food was incredibly alluring, but Andre was stunned by Wei Xiao Bei’s move.
F***!
Isn’t this guy too awesome?
Although Andre was not strong, his insight was not low.
This guy can control electricity!
Just this point alone, Wei Xiao Bei’s image in Andre’s heart immediately became a profound mystery.
Too strong!
Andre had always been in reverence to electricity. A person that could control it was simply unimaginable for him.
In simpler terms, Wei Xiao Bei was now like a powerful magician in Andre’s eyes.
“Thank you.”
Andre used an incredibly respectful attitude to give thanks and took the meat. The moment he took a bit, he became thrilled.
This person in front of him used electricity to heat the meat, but the meat is not burnt at all.
The most important part was when Andre took a few more bites, he felt his mental strength and stamina recover!
This roasted meat is a treasure!
If it was him, he would not simply give it to others!
In short, Andre was already kneeling in his heart. He had already decided to hold on to this thick thigh no matter what.
After eating the meat, Wei Xiao Bei inquired about the Einherjars’ situation while having Andre to guide him.
Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei had caught Andre. Otherwise, he would have run over here for nothing.
He was able to learn many things from Andre. Perhaps there were premonitions of war, as the Einherjars had already begun to converge one month before. They had built a new settlement for this purpose, and they had given up on the previous settlement.
As for treasures like the spring water, it had also been moved to the new settlement.
Accordingly, the number of Einherjars in the new settlement numbered to more than ten thousand people.
Moreover, there was not only one pedestal fragment in the new settlement!
Every Einherjar group that converged had been holding on to their fragments.
This was naturally as people were selfish.
After losing the guidance of the gods, the Einherjars would naturally not retain their ways. They would not just come up and give away the tribe’s fragment for the sake of finding a way to repair the fountain of youth.
In simpler terms, the reason why they split up into tribes in the first place was also because of the fragments.
A fragment was an important resource that could unify a tribe.
In short, Andre had already looked at the other tribes’ fragments with envy.
Unfortunately, these fragments were being guarded by others. As long as it was not an Einherjar that belonged to their tribe, they would immediately attack.
After leaving the worm hole, Wei Xiao Bei tossed back the wooden test tube, causing Andre to panic and try to catch it. When he caught it, Wei Xiao Bei indifferently spoke, “After we finish this, I’ll give you 120 milliliters of spring water, enough for your family to enjoy eternal youth.”
The reason why Andre had not yet drunk the secondary spring water of youth was that if less than thirty milliliters were drunk in one go, it would only increase the lifespan and not give immortality.
As a lazy person, Andre cared about his family a lot. It was also because of this reason that he was only a 2-Star Elite Creature. He had been using everything he could to make a plan to steal the spring water and let his family have enough spring water to use.
Hearing this, Andre’s spirit was immediately invigorated as he led the way. It felt as if he was a groom about to welcome his bride.
The Einherjar’s new settlement was located on a branch that was more than three thousand meters above the ground.
This shows how huge the World Tree was.
However, when Wei Xiao Bei stepped on the branch, he noticed that his imagination about the World Tree was a bit lacking.
How is this a branch?
At the very least, Wei Xiao Bei did not sense it when he took the first step.
The ground had a layer of thick soil. The width of the branch was more than a few kilometers. There was even a forest with denser vegetation compared to the one on the ground level.
Wei Xiao Bei’s senses were telling him that this was dry land.
In truth, if he did not know he was on the World Tree, he would not have been able to tell the difference.
It could be said that the benefit of having someone guide the way was to avoid sentries.
Perhaps because he was preparing to run away, Andre was familiar with their positions.
Under his guidance, Wei Xiao Bei was able to easily hide from the Einherjar hidden in the leaves.
After all, even Wei Xiao Bei would have a hard time locating them with [Response Search] under the influence of the World Tree.
Soon, they reached the new settlement.
It could be said that their new settlement was a good place.
The place should be one of the bigger cracks on the world tree with a width of about five thousand meters. At the center of the settlement was a lake, and Scandinavian styled constructs surrounded the lake.
The number of people in the settlement at the moment was very few, even counting the hidden sentries.
However, even if that was so, Wei Xiao Bei had taken a look at the situation from a tree and saw that there were still around a thousand people.
According to Andre, the settlement was comprised of more than forty big and small tribes. In other words, there were around forty pedestal fragments.
Wei Xiao Bei let Andre wait outside. Naturally, he placed a Weakling Pig on Andre’s body to prevent him from being disloyal and stabbing him in the back.
After carefully inspecting the situation, Wei Xiao Bei brought Kashmir to the edge of the settlement.
Wei Xiao Bei needed Kashmir’s [Innate Luck] to escort him inside and prevent the Einherjars from noticing him.
It could be said that the giant army’s invasion made the guards around the settlement laxer.
What pleased Wei Xiao Bei beyond his expectations was that the pedestal fragments of the Fountain of Youth were placed in the center of each tribe’s living quarters and not the lake.
