Chapter 59 - Crisis

    The sound of blood curdling screams came from behind him . Soon, more than ten green dwarfs ran out of the forest, pale as they could ever be, as if they had seen ghosts . Chasing behind them, were yellow tree roots as thick as arms .

    These tree roots were very agile . They moved along the ground and lunged out towards the green dwarfs . When the green dwarfs tried to dodge, the roots moved like a python, circling the green dwarfs . It did not even pay attention to their struggling as it pulled them back into the forest . When they were dragged into the forest, it seemed like they had already been strangled to death; their blood dripped on the ground, creating a blood trail .

    Wei Xiao Bei was still able to cope seeing the tree roots, but the following scene left his legs trembling like a newborn duckling .

    The big trees inside the forest shook the ground . Countless roots rose up as if they were alive, making Wei Xiao Bei feel as if he was seeing the end of the world .

    Very quickly, the trees pulled up their roots . As if they were standing on the ground, the trees moved like octopuses with arms dancing in the sky .

    “Kelaisimu, Kelaisitu, Kelaisiyou……”

    The roots of the trees let out a strange sound as if they were singing to a rhythm and tempo .

    Wei Xiao Bei was now just dumbstruck .

    The entire forest came to life . The movements of the trees were completely similar to that of animals .

    In truth, Wei Xiao Bei had gained a bit of resistance to the strangeness of The Dust World . After all, the Fishmen, Fiendish Man Fish, black beetles, Thousand Eyed Devil and various monsters that he had encountered were things that would never appear in reality .

    However, these moving trees had gone out of his expectations .

    Luckily, this had happened before he made his plans of eliminating the green dwarfs and making the forest his safe house a reality .

    Naturally, he was now rejoicing .

    If he had entered the forest as he killed the green dwarfs, he might have became a corpse like the green dwarfs, becoming fertilizer along with them .

    “Si… . . . Si… . . Si……”

    The sound of something hard rubbing against the ground echoed .

    After that, Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes suddenly widened . His pupils slightly pulled back as he ran back to where he came from without any hesitation .  

    What kind of monster is that?!

    A huge light house-like tree stepped out from the forest with two legs . On the trunk of the tree, there were wicker-like eyes, looking directly at Wei Xiao Bei .

    When the huge tree looked at him, Wei Xiao Bei’s heart violently jumped as if he could not breathe, as if there was a disaster approaching .

    Only then did Wei Xiao Bei run away for his life!

    “Kelu, Kelusi, Andayoumisi!”

    The sound of a hundred year old grandpa came from the huge tree . Soon, a root that was the size of a human chased after Wei Xiao Bei .

    As he was running away, he took a quick glance behind him and  immediately, his back let out a cold sweat .

    The previous arm-sized roots were already enough to easily kill off those green dwarfs . But now, a human-sized root was chasing him; a light touch from it would probably turn Wei Xiao Bei into a meat paste .

    Wei Xiao Bei was used all his strength to run away . His feet hit the ground making it sound like he was a rampaging rhinoceros .

    Despite this, the tree root still moved faster .

    Even a real rhinoceros would not be able to beat its speed .

    At first they were separated by 50 meters . In just two seconds, Wei Xiao Bei heard the sound of the root splitting through the air approach him . The tree root had already closed in 10 meters .

    The slim tree root appeared from the ground like a cobra， aiming behind Wei Xiao Bei, as if it was a spear that was about to be shot out .

    Time to risk it!

    Wei Xiao Bei knew that any mistake he made right now would sign him up for eternal damnation .

    If it were a normal human, they would have already gone limp from running . However, Wei Xiao Bei’s left leg quickly tamped forward . He turned his waist and used the force from his charge to back away a bit .

    He used the pitchfork in his right hand to block the incoming attack .

    Soon after, Wei Xiao Bei made a horse stance and retreated two steps back . He readied himself to pierced the tree root, while the tree root also took the chance to charge after Wei Xiao Bei . Wei Xiao Bei’s pitchfork blocked the attack and pierced the middle part of the root three times .

    This forced the tree root to evade his attacks, but Wei Xiao Bei still did not let go of the dominant position . He stamped his feet on the ground and took quick steps forwards . The pitchfork in his hands moved like a dragon as it continuously pierced holes in the root .

    This was the Six Harmonies Great Spear’s Sudden Thrust . Pretending to escape while finding a chance to counter attack .

    The tree root, however, suddenly rose up for a counter attack . Its sharp tip moved like a water snake as it advanced towards Wei Xiao Bei . In that moment, it was yet again blocked by Wei Xiao Bei’s pitchfork unable  to even approach him .

    The tree root seemed as if it was angry . Soon, it ignored Wei Xiao Bei’s pitchfork . It stuck close to the ground and made a sweeping motion, attempting to trip Wei Xiao Bei and gain an advantage .

    However, Wei Xiao Bei completely ignored his own safety and wielded his pitchfork as if it was a great spear .

    He blocked above him and pierced below him . He would even retreat a few steps and let out sudden thrusts .

    The tree root’s regenerative abilities were actually superior to Wei Xiao Bei’s . After fighting for an amount of time, the initial holes he made on it had already returned back to its original condition .

    Wei Xiao Bei, on the other hand,  was dripping with sweat . Two more tree roots had appeared from the distance .

    If the three roots combined forces, Wei Xiao Bei would only have an end of being filled with a thousand holes even after using all his strength .

    He needed to quickly get rid of this tree root!

    The tree root had a strong regenerative ability, moreover, it was completely immune to Wei Xiao Bei’s electric attacks .

    However, after a few more rounds, he found a chance to let out five continuous thrusts without missing .

    With a creaking sound, the tree root finally broke in the middle, and a sweet fragrance permeated the air . Wei Xiao Bei traced it back to the green sap that the tree root was spraying out, but before he could get a closer look, the tree root immediately pulled back .

    However, the other two tree roots were now quite close to him .

    Wei Xiao Bei face turned gloomy as he looked at the approaching tree roots searching for vengeance .

    Although he had made one tree root return, dealing with two more tree roots was an impossible task . Even wanting to escape from the tree roots was too difficult with just his speed alone .
