Chapter 62 – The Dust World and Legends
Woke up, took a bath, and went to the toilet.
After finishing all of these, Wei Xiao Bei opened his apartment door and walked out the corridor.
At this time, everyone inside the building was still in dreamland. Wei Xiao Bei carefully opened the courtyard gate, unwilling to wake the residents up.
However, on the streets, those stalls that got up early had already finished their set up.
The thick fragrance of soy milk spread through the air. The sound of deep fried breadstick being made could be heard. The smell of the steam from the meat buns, mantou and other breakfast foods weaved together in the air. All of this made Wei Xiao Bei’s empty stomach growl, as he salivated from the smell.
This kind of life is the best!
Wei Xiao Bei sat in front of a stall. He ordered meat buns and mantou as he waited for the noodles to be cooked by the owner. A certain thought popped out in his head.
After witnessing the fight between the Mist Draconic Horse and the Big Tree Spirit, Wei Xiao Bei had felt how miniscule he was in front of those strong monsters. The Dust World was indeed a cruel place, just a slight bit of inattentiveness could get him killed!
The psychological strain that this matter had created on his mind was not small.
As a result, even just seeing the common and familiar everyday surrounding in the moment was enough to give his mind an indescribable feeling.
It was like staying in the dry desert for half a year, and finally entering a hot spring.
After eating, he headed towards the dojo.
At this time, his master, senior apprentice brothers, and senior apprentice sister were training. Wei Xiao Bei felt his mood lift up. He greeted everyone and joined them. He searched for a vacant wooden pillar and began training.
After morning training, everyone went to the kitchen to eat breakfast, only Wei Xiao Bei returned to his room and turned on his computer.
While the computer was booting up, Wei Xiao Bei boiled himself a cup of green tea.
He loved green tea. Coffee, red tea, and whatnot just did not suit his tastes.
For him, being able to drink green tea after morning training was supreme bliss
Because of this, Wei Xiao Bei was really similar to a 60-70 year old man.
Naturally, because his funds were low, it was impossible for him to buy good tea leaves. He only bought the locally produced tea.
However, in his eyes, this locally produced tea might not necessarily any worse than those well known, high grade tea leaves. Perhaps the only reason they were said to be better was only because of their fame and history.
Wei Xiao Bei blew on the boiling hot tea and lightly took a sip. He moved the mouse and opened the internet.
He tried searching for Shangfu……
Soon after, rows of information about the Shangfu popped up.
There was a lot of information. After looking at it, Wei Xiao Bei more or less understood what kind of monster this was.
This was a monster that appeared in the Classic of Mountain and Sea.
Shangfu: Bird. Three heads, six eyes, six legs, three wings. Eating it would prevent nightmares.
This was the word for word information on the web page.
If spoken in verbal language, it meant that a Shangfu was a type of bird. Its appearance looked like a chicken, but it had grown three heads, six eyes, six legs, and three wings. If its meat was eaten, energy would flow inside the body and prevent nightmares from appearing.
Whether it was the shape or the meat’s effects, Wei Xiao Bei felt that the Shangfu in the Dust World was the same as the Shangfu in the Classic of Mountain and Sea.
However, a question appeared in his mind.
Why did the Shangfu in the Classis of Mountain and Sea appear inside the Dust World.
What was the true identity of The Dust World?
Wei Xiao Bei rubbed his chin and drank the tea as his eyes lost focus.
After quite a while, he finally came back to his senses. He shook his head and threw away the questions in his mind.
Although Wei Xiao Bei’s intelligence had risen to 7.31 points, it was still impossible for him to find the answers he wanted from these clues.
Should I actually put more evolution points into my intelligence?
Wei Xiao Bei bitterly smiled and shook his head. The question on where he should place his evolution points was a very difficult question.
If he had enough evolution points, he would surely have already increased all of his attributes.
However, this was only a delusion.
From his current standpoint, he thought that he should not yet place any points into intelligence. At the very least he should not do so until his muscle reached 20 points.
In a mysterious place like The Dust World, placing his evolution points solely on status would probably get him killed by some monster before even being able to put it to good use.
After thinking for a bit, he searched for the other monsters like the Green Dwarf, Thousand Eyed Devil, Mist Draconic Horse, Big Tree Spirit, and other monsters that he had met.
What made Wei Xiao Bei puzzled was that other than the Tree Spirit and the Fishmen, which he could find in novels, games and manga, he could not find any of the other monsters.
As for the Mist Draconic Horse, it only showed hits for draconic horse.
As for what kind of creature the draconic horse was, it did not need to be explained further. It was basically in its name; a monster descended from a horse and a dragon. In the Five Assorted Offerings, it was said that dragons were born obscene. When they procreated with a swine, an elephant was born; when they did it with a horse, a draconic horse was born.
From a modern scientific standpoint, many points in the Five Assorted Offerings were extremely ridiculous.
Swines were how they used to call pigs. The ones pointed in the book were wild boars. If a dragon mated with a wild boar, an elephant would be born.
Now, anyone who had elementary level education would know that an elephant was its own species. It was not born from a dragon mating with a wild boar.
This was the misunderstanding born from ancient people who did not understand elephants.
As a result, it could be concluded that a dragon mating with a horse to create a draconic horse might not even be real.
Wei Xiao Bei bitterly smiled and shook his head. He had already seen the Mist Draconic Horse. It looked like the fluid remains of a draconic horse.
It was easy to understand how terrifying and strong a draconic horse was!
Without a doubt, at least in The Dust World, a draconic horse was something that really existed!
After thinking for a bit, his mind was in confusion.
In truth, everything he had seen in The Dust World could topple a normal person’s common sense.
He did not think about it anymore. He withdrew his thoughts, sipped on tea, and continued searching.
What he searched for this time was the Classic of Mountain and Sea, ancient legends, myths from the west, and others.
Wei Xiao Bei had a faint feeling that the monsters inside The Dust World had a relationship with these legends and myths. As a result, finding out about these monsters that might appear in The Dust World was not a bad thing.
After aimlessly searching for a while, he heard his senior apprentice sister’s voice outside, “Junior apprentice brother, quickly come out. We are about to open.”
Another important point to be mentioned was that Wei Xiao Bei’s current job post inside the dojo was an instructor.
Previously, Cheng Bi Wu gasped in surprise at Wei Xiao Bei’s training. He believed that Wei Xiao Bei was a one in ten thousand genius.
Based on the amount of time Wei Xiao Bei trained and the level of his martial arts, the title of genius would naturally be placed over his head.
