The City of Terror

Chapter 457: Chapter 457 – Life Altar Evolution Bite Back!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Wei Xiao Bei’s activated states had vanished. He did not have any more thoughts of pursuing the Einherjars.

After running for more than ten kilometers, Wei Xiao Bei climbed up a big tree and hid in the treetops while gasping for breath.

Although he was a 3-Star Terror Creature, the consumption on his stamina was quite large after killing three Flame Giants, two Giant Wolves, twenty Einherjars, and also receiving a lot of injuries.

After taking a rest, Wei Xiao Bei pulled out a fried tentacle from his storage bracelet and began wolfing it down.

The fried tentacle was created from the tentacle of the Thousand Eyed Devil and was a rare quality dish that could recover his stamina and mental strength. For him, a single portion could recover eighty percent of his stamina and mental strength.

However, the tentacle could only recover his stamina and mental strength, but it was not enough to fill his stomach.

At this time, the lower quality roasted meats had become useful.

After eating six pieces of roasted meat, Wei Xiao Bei’s stomach was full.

As he lay down on a thick branch, he took a short nap.

Luckily, with Wei Xiao Bei’s current constitution, the weakening from [Intermediate Power Burst] quickly receded. In just around one hour, Wei Xiao Bei had regained his original strength.

At this time, he began calculating his gains.

Three Flame Giants and two Giant Wolves had given him 10380 evolution points.

His profits were abundant.

He placed all five corpses on the ground, then cut off the wolves’ loin and leg meat.

He then took the heart blood of the Flame Giant and stored it into his storage bracelet.

After the Flame Giant’s death, it did not condense an Ice Heart like the Frost Giant. However, its heart blood was a rare quality treasure that could increase Flame Resistance.

After busying himself, Wei Xiao Bie inserted the great spear in the corpses like a skewer to let it absorb the remaining energy.

After evolving a few times, the 2-Star Creatures and below were not that effective in helping the great spear evolve. As for 3-Star Creatures and above, they still provide a bit of energy.

Wei Xiao Bei could now see that the two Giant Wolves corpses had shrunk only a bit after the great spear was inserted. On the other hand, the Flame Giants’ changes were quite clear.

After the great spear was inserted, the ten-meter tall Flame Giant corpses had immediately shrunk to less than six meters. However, the white mist from the great spear kept pouring out.

Naturally, just three 3-Star Terror Creatures was not enough to allow the great spear to evolve.

In the end, Wei Xiao Bei extended his left hand to allow the tendrils to come out and begin storing the flesh of the corpse into the storage of the Fledgling Life Altar.

Although the energy had mostly been absorbed by the great spear, the nutrition inside the corpses was still abundant. More than half of a giant was enough to fill up the Fledgling Life Altar.

On the other hand, after the flesh storage was filled up, the Fledgling Life Altar revealed that it was in extreme hunger.

This kind of signal allowed Wei Xiao Bei to know that the Fledgling Life Altar was asking to evolve.

After thinking a bit, he decided to take out the Ash Essence from his storage bracelet.

Toward the Ash Essence’s appearance, the Life Altar was expressing a strong craving. It did not even wait for Wei Xiao Bei to place it on his palm as it automatically opened a crack on his palm and sprayed out tendrils to wrap around the Ash Essence and instantly pulled it in.

The Fledgling Life Altar had already done this action before. Previously he did not think much of this, but its performance made him a bit depressed now.

It must be said that the Fledgling Life Altar was, in essence, one of Wei Xiao Bei’s treasures, but it had its conscience. This was the conclusion that he obtained after careful observation.

The problem now appeared. If the Fledgling Life Altar’s conscience gets stronger, what would happen in the end?

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but tremble. The feeling of impending danger was coming from his subconscious, causing him to take out something from his storage bracelet.

Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovary!

This was something that he had already obtained early on, but he felt that it had no use so he had no chance to use it.

Feeding increases obedience!

This was the only effect of the Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovary.

The next thing that happened made Wei Xiao Bei rejoice that he had taken out the Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovary.

After the Fledgling Life Altar ate the Ash Essence, it quickly went to sleep.

Wei Xiao Bei had a premonition of danger as he did not dare split his attention and quietly waited.

Around half an hour passed and Wei Xiao Bei’s left hand suddenly let out an incredibly evil roar. It felt a bit familiar and immediately charged up to his neck and invaded his brain.

Before Wei Xiao Bei could respond, his mind immediately became disoriented.

Luckily, in the next moment, [Indomitable Will] activated, suppressing the dizziness in his brain.

He immediately took a glance at the battle log and became startled.

Battlelog:

.....

Life Altar swallowed the Ash Essence, receiving an evil influence and biting back against the host, attempting to control the host’s mind.

.....

Indomitable Will activates! Control suppression successful!

.....

The evil influence of the Fledgling Life Altar once again increases, attempting to control the body of the host.

.....

After seeing this, Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate and stuffed the Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovary toward his left hand.

At this moment, a crack opened on his left hand as a tendril shot out. These tendrils ignored the rule and moved toward the top of Wei Xiao Bei’s head.

There was no doubt that the Fledgling Life Altar knew that the Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovary would affect it, causing it to dodge his right hand.

If Wei Xiao Bei was weakened, he would have truly fallen for this trap.

However, even if he was not in his peak state, he was still at ninety percent. When the tendril made a turn, his right hand also turned and forced in the Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovary.

The Fledgling Life Altar was naturally not willing to accept this. The tendrils immediately increased and pulled close to Wei Xiao Bei’s head.

However, the Fledgling Life Altar was not a completely intelligent creature. It had forgotten that its main body was still in Wei Xiao Bei’s left arm, and he had control over his arm.

As he waved down his arm, the increased tendrils were pulled away from his head. On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei took this chance to stuff the Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovaries to the tendrils.

The tendrils were not intelligent. When they had just touched the ovary, they immediately wrapped around it and pulled it back into the crack without any hesitation.

Following that, the Fledlign Life Altar let out a signal that it was unwilling, but this was already useless. It could only comply as it swallowed the ovary.

Following that, the ovary disappeared as the Life Altar swallowed it. Its resistant will had been suppressed as it once again let out that it acknowledged its allegiance to him.

I finally settled it!

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but relax.

In truth, this was the first time he had encountered this kind of biting back, but he could feel the thrill of it.

If he had been a bit careless, then he would have lost to the Fledgling Life Altar. His fate afterward would be acting as the host to the Fledgling Life Altar and would stop being himself.

Afterward, the information on the Life Altar appeared as he checked it.

Name: Life Altar (Immortal Quality)

Effect 8: Evolution. This object can evolve by devouring rare quality goods.

Effect 9: Demonic Power. Because this object has devoured Ash Essence, the Life Altar would evolve in the direction of evil. Any bred creature will have a Demonic Power with unknown effects.

.....

After looking at the status panel, Wei Xiao Bei was happy.

It could be said that the Ash Essence was truly a treasure.

Now, the Life Altar had finally matured.

Just its effects were enough to tell that the creature bred by it would be a lot stronger than when it was still a fledgling.

Just the increased upper limit on the storage allowed it to create a lot of creatures.

Naturally, the storage had been completely emptied after its evolution.
