The City of Terror

Chapter 270 – Sturdiness Increase!

Wei Xiao Bei gradually understood that sturdiness was not only something that increased his body size.

Even his muscles, bones, and other organs were tougher and stronger.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei’s cultivation was able to increase them outside of the status panel, but increasing it could combine and improve their effects.

After making this decision, Wei Xiao Bei quietly got up and went to the driver’s side of the car. Then he extended his right hand and pressed down on Zhou Xing Yuan’s neck.

Immediately, Zhou Xing Yuan’s wheezing got louder.

Wei Xiao Bei was unwilling to place his safety on Zhou Xing Yuan’s hands. Who knew what danger could happen while he raises his sturdiness to 40 points.

Afterwards, he dug a large hole a hundred meters away from the car and buried himself in it.

This was the only way he could be a bit safer. If a dinosaur appeared, then their first target would be the car stopped by the meadow.

Naturally, if this happened, Zhou Xing Yuan might become the dinosaur’s food.

This might seem to be unethical.

However, remembering that Zhou Xing Yuan had attempted to kill him before, Wei Xiao Bei did not soften his heart. He would just treat it as Zhou Xing Yuan’s debt to him.

If Zhou Xing Yuan did not die, then he would treat him better.

After placing a shrub on top of his head, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed his breathing and focused on his sturdiness.

Along with his focus, his evolution points quickly decreased as his sturdiness increased.

20.01, 20.01, 20.03……

Every 2 evolution points provided 0.01 points in sturdiness.

After half an hour, 4000 evolution points had increased sturdiness to 40 points.

Following the increase, Wei Xiao Bei’s creature rank changed from normal 3-Star to 3-Star Elite!

Creature Rank: 3 Star Elite (If any two main attribute increase to 40 points, creature rank will become 3 Star Elite. Law Intimidation range increase, and consumption decrease. Note: 3-star creatures can only reach terror rank!)

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei simply could not check the changes in his status as a strong pain immediately surged and spread throughout his body, causing him to sweat like a tide.

Whether it was his bones, his muscles, or his connective tissues, they all began to shrink and compress.

The violent pain had almost made Wei Xiao Bei lose his consciousness.

Wei Xiao Bei also knew that if he was unable to control himself, then he would not be able to anticipate what would happen next.

Thus he quickly sunk his consciousness to abate most of the pain. Then he carefully checked the changes happening to his body.

This kind of consciousness observation was different from a naked eye observation.

Wei Xiao Bei had noticed that the change was on the cellular level.

In truth, if his awareness was not high enough, even adding the [Response Search] and [Precise Calculation], then he would simply be unable to notice this.

It appears that all of his cells were shrinking as large amount of fluids were being squeezed out from them. At the same time when the cells shrunk, they also became denser.

If Zhou Xing Yuan woke up at this moment and saw Wei Xiao Bei, he would be shocked to see that Wei Xiao Bei’s body was continuously shrinking.

Within this short 30 minutes, Wei Xiao Bei’s 2 meter tall body shrunk to around 1.5 meters. Moreover, it was still shrinking.

The soil around Wei Xiao Bei’s body had already been soaked by his sweat becoming mud.

Gradually, his body shrunk to 1.4 meters, 1.3 meters……

In the end, it stopped at around 1 meter.

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that his cells were quickly dividing whether it was his muscle cells, skin cells, bone cells, but they all began to split.

The pain from this was not inferior to his cells shrinking. The strange itch it caused had even made Wei Xiao Bei, who had sunk his consciousness, unable to endure.

Luckily, he had already sunk his consciousness, separating himself from most of the pain. Otherwise, even his firm consciousness would not be able to resist the erosion. If he did not destroy his own body, he would simply be unable to get rid of the feeling.

The cells quickly divided and finished in less than five minutes.

However, this was not the end. The cells that had just split up once again began to split up.

This splitting happened three times. Only then did it stop.

Along with the end of cell division, Wei Xiao Bei’s sunken consciousness flared back up.

When he controlled his body again, a strong feeling of thirst flared up his mind.

No one could endure this kind of thirst from cell division.

It was like a flame that flared up in the mind. The short delay was like having your mind being burned!

Wei Xiao Bei jumped out of the hole and ran towards the lake with the shrub on his head. His only thought at the moment was to drink, drink, and drink!

The diplodocus corpses had already been bitten with only bones left. The carnivorous dinosaurs had already retreated back to who knew where.

While the other diplodocuses had already returned to the lakeside, they stayed away from the shore as if they were still afraid of something. They stood in the waters and eat from the plants on shore as well as water plants.

Wei Xiao Bei was now only one meter tall. In the diplodocus eyes he was not a threat.

When he jumped into the water, the diplodocuses turned their heads towards his direction. However, seeing that there was no movement, the diplodocuses did not move and continued to eat.

When Wei Xiao Bei jumped into the lake, his first action was to open his mouth and drink large amounts of water.

At this moment, he did not care whether the water was clean or not. His [Moisture Absorption] also began to work as it absorbed large amounts of water.

The cool lake water flowed down his throat and was immediately absorbed and spread throughout his cells..

The water absorbed by [Moisture Absorption] also spread into his body from the outside.

By doing these two things, the spread of liquid all over his cells was not slow.

His body was also gradually swelling after drinking the water.

This process also gave him unbearable pain.

However, he did not move at all and only showed the pain through his occasional expressions.

The process took more than two hours as his body size returned, but when it reached 1.8 meters, it stopped expanding.

Wei Xiao Bei flung away the droplets of water in the air as he stood up and gradually walked out of the lake.

His body that had rapidly expanded made him feel disoriented, and he needed a bit of time to get used to it again.

However, he could feel that his body was not different from before.

After three times of cell division, even if his body had increased to 1.8 meters, his cell count had increased by more than 8 times!

Having almost the same body size as before but his cells having increased by 8 times, the effects were naturally different.

While feeling the weakness in his body after recovery, Wei Xiao Bei sat on the lakeside. He took out one of the t-rex’s tooth as he thrust it at his left arm.

Without any sound, the tooth pierced through his skin, but before penetrating, he felt that there was a certain amount of resistance.

He could tell that the resistance was a lot higher than before by about 7 times!

Moreover, after penetrating the skin, the tooth went even deeper, but the resistance increased. In the end, the tooth only penetrated about 3 millimeters of skin as his arm muscles shrunk and stopped it in place, preventing it from going deeper.

Although Wei Xiao Bei was weak and had not recovered all his strength at the moment, this result was a lot better than before. Previously if something penetrated through his skin, then it would continue through his muscles as long as it did not hit the bone.

In simpler terms, Wei Xiao Bei’s body before this along with his skills allowed him to be at least twice tougher than a normal person.

In other words, if a knife were to puncture through a normal person’s arm, then it would be enough to expose the bone, but if it was done on Wei Xiao Bei, it would at most only break through the skin.

If Wei Xiao Bei’s muscles were expanded, then it would not be able to cut the skin at all.

Naturally, if it was a monster, then the degree of injury would vary.

After all, Wei Xiao Bei still had a human body and was different from how monsters were structured. Humans were originally born with weak bodies.

Trying to strengthen this weak foundation was not really that effective at all.

If it was 0.1 at the start, multiplying it by 10 would still be one. It was impossible to jump to 10 or even 100.

Now, his body was at least 14 times stronger than a normal human being. As for the toughness of his bones and similar internal organs, then the toughness would increase a lot more.

However, Wei Xiao Bei only tested his skin and muscles at most. As for bones and other internal organs, he would never test them for no reason.

Im short, Wei Xiao Bei’s height was slightly smaller than before, but his body toughness had increase to more than 8 times!

Just like that Wei Xiao Bei’s probability of injuring himself decreased by a lot.
