The City of Terror - Chapter 618

Zhang Zhi Long could now stand on his own. He waved his hand and appeared to not mind the Queen Egg, “Junior brother does not need to say anymore, let me just gift it to you.”
Since Zhang Zhi Long said it this way, Wei Xiao Bei did not stay formal. When he opened it, there was a palm-sized egg with a soft but tough shell inside.
According to Zhang Zhi Long, it was an Egg used to breed Cerebrates.
In other words, a single egg could create an entire Zerg tribe!
Luckily, it was not easy to create such an egg. Otherwise, the Terran forces would have been annihilated.

….
From the status panel’s description, it could be seen that the value of the egg was even higher than what Zhang Zhi Long had described.
After all, it was equivalent to three Ultralisks!
Although Wei Xiao Bei had never seen an Ultralisk before, he knew that they were the strongest combat force in the Zerg army! Nothing else could compete.
In simpler terms, a single Ultralisk could deal with numerous Terran tanks in close combat.
On the other hand, the price of creating a single Ultralisk would be a lot more than five Terran tanks.
In Wei Xiao Bei’s point of view, Zhang Zhi Long had poked a beehive!
Just imagine the scene of the Zergs after they noticed that a Queen Egg had disappeared.
In any case, the thing that they needed to do now was to run away!
The reason was simple. Wei Xiao Bei had seen a large black cloud moving in their direction, coming from afar. In truth, the black cloud was actually made up of countless Zerg Wyverns!
At the same time, the ground was shaking slightly, indicating that there were large numbers of monsters closing in.
This might even be the fast running movement of the Ultralisk.
Wei Xiao Bei stored the Egg into his bracelet. Before it hatched, it did not have any intelligence, thus it was possible to store it.
Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei pulled out his Great Spear. With a single thought, a cloud of White Mist appeared, transforming into a Horse.
Wei Xiao Bei first got on the White Mist Draconic Horse, then pulled Zhang Zhi Long up. When Zhang Zhi Long finally steadied himself, the White Mist Draconic Horse began to move and rise from the ground. In an instant, they were now tens of meters above the ground.
“Right, I almost forgot.”
When the White Mist Draconic Horse was about to increase in speed, Wei Xiao Bei slapped his head. He urged the horse to return to the courtyard and let it stomp on the two people.
A tragic cry immediately echoed.
Ye Tian Sheng and Yu Shi Min, who were both completely unconscious, had been woken up from the pain.
When they opened their eyes, they noticed White Mist enveloping their bodies. Their skin and flesh began to corrode, and their bones were immediately exposed.
What is this?!
When the question floated in their minds, the corrosion instantly accelerated, causing the two people to faint from the overwhelming pain.
After fainting, the two people would never wake up again.
Although Wei Xiao Bei had already left with the horse, the White Mist continued to envelop their bodies.
When the Zerglings entered the courtyard, only bones remained.
Even the Zerglings that had stretched out their limbs to probe were polluted by the corrosion. Their claws quickly corroded and were now useless.
Wei Xiao Bei brought his Second Senior Apprentice Brother and flew to more than 100 meters in the air, only then did the Horse quickly fly toward Lake Cui.
The White Mist Draconic Horse was extremely fast. Even the Wyverns chasing after them had been left behind.
Eh?
Wei Xiao Bei suddenly felt a premonition of danger. He immediately let the horse ascend to more than 500 meters before stabilizing the flight.
Without even flying a kilometer, a giant running beast suddenly appeared in his sights.
The giant beast was around 20 meters tall and looked very similar to an elephant.
When a 7-floor building blocked its path, it did not stop at all and collided with the building.
With a loud boom, the entire building collapsed and countless rocks shot out from the explosion, but the beast did not stop at all, nor did it seem to sustain any injuries.
What a fierce beast!
This was not the largest beast that Wei Xiao Bei had seen in the Dust World, but its aura could be said to be the most fierce of them all.
An Ultralisk!
Wei Xiao Bei rode the horse 500 meters above the ground. He did not have to worry about the Ultralisk attacking him, so he simply opened his eyes to use [Enlightenment] on it.
There was not much to say about the Ultralisk’s status. It was a normal 4-Star Creature, but its strength was almost on par with Wei Xiao Bei’s. In terms of speed, it was very slow, but it had a very high vitality.
It had two skills, [Charge], and [Close Combat]. It also had one special skill, [Carapace Defense].
In short, it was a living giant tank.
Wei Xiao Bei’s [Enlightenment] attracted the beast’s attention. The Ultralisk let out a loud howl toward Wei Xiao Bei and used its front legs to smash the ground in front of it, creating two huge holes.
There was no doubt that it was challenging him.
However, Wei Xiao Bei was not an idiot that would do such a thing. He immediately urged the Horse to go faster and soon left the Ultralisk behind.
The Ultralisk did not have any intelligence and was controlled by a Cerebrate of a different tribe. It might even be the Cerebrate that had invited Ye Tian Sheng and Yu Shi Min.
Cerebrates had high intelligence. A single Zerg tribe would have thousands and even tens of thousands of Zergs that listened to its command.
In other words, if Wei Xiao Bei listened to the provocation, leaving aside the question of killing the Ultralisk, the Wyverns and Hydralisks would have probably caught up and surrounded him.
Wei Xiao Bei even suspected that there were countless creatures of the Zerg hiding around the Ultralisk.
The Zerg love to use an ambush strategy after all.
However, Wei Xiao Bei simply did not care about the provocation and thought about how mad the Cerebrates would be.
Having said that, he was surprised that the humans from the Real World would actually be accepted by the Cerebrates. This truly exceeded his expectations.
This made Wei Xiao Bei feel a bit heavy.
This was not because he was worried that humans were traitors, but the thought of humans bringing the Queen Egg into the Real World and letting it hatch! The situation would quickly deteriorate.
There was no doubt that this would become a huge disaster!
Luckily, the Queen Egg was in his hands.
What should I do in the future?
As he chatted with his Second Apprentice Brother, he began to formulate a plan.
With the speed of the White Mist Draconic Horse, he was able to quickly make it to Lake Cui.
After Wei Xiao Bei had killed the Thousand Eyed Devil, Lake Cui’s edges were one of the safest places he knew.
Naturally, this safety was for those people who had already been in the Dust World for a period of time. Those who had just entered the Dust World were not included in this.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei noticed some unlucky people currently walking into the lake.
“What’s wrong with them?”
There was no doubt that Zhang Zhi Long had not yet come to the lake. Thus, he felt that it was strange to see people walking toward the lake with a smile.
Toward his Second Senior Apprentice Brother’s question, Wei Xiao Bei would not hide anything as he chuckled, “They’ve been trapped in an illusion by the Fiendish Man Fish. In their eyes, there is no lake in front of them, but a group of naked women, treasures, or even their dead lovers. In short, the illusion is born from their minds and the fish cannot directly control what they see.”
As he spoke, he let the Horse reduce the altitude and stopped 20 meters above the lake.
Following the descent, the Fiendish Man Fish that were waiting for a meal immediately sensed a powerful existence. They did not dare stay and head back deep into the lake.
“Brother, wait for me here.”
The Fiendish Man Fish were already important seasoning for Wei Xiao Bei’s cooking. After using them frequently, he noticed that they had some kind of flavor-enhancing effect, an effect that raised other ingredients’ natural flavors.
It was very difficult to find a group of them, but now that there was, he would not let them go. He jumped down from the horse.
Plop!
Wei Xiao Bei entered the water, splashing and drenching the people who were trapped in an illusion.
“Escaping?”
Wei Xiao Bei extended his hand and caught two fish, pinching them to death and then storing them into his storage bracelet. However, catching them like this was slow and the fish would be able to escape without a trace.
He immediately circulated his Qi and with a loud shout, he punched the water!
At this time, the people who had been drenched from head to toe finally sobered up.
The difference between reality and illusion was huge.
