Walking in the Dark Would Make One Encounter a Demon

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

This was done probably because the tribes did not want other tribes to steal their fragments.

However, this gave Wei Xiao Bei a reason to not fear being noticed by other tribes when he stole it.

The tribe that Wei Xiao Bei initially infiltrated had twenty wooden houses. According to his count, there should be ten Einherjars in each. This was most likely a small tribe of only two hundred people.

Because the majority of the Einherjars had joined the war, only four Einherjars were guarding the central house.

Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate. He moved on all four limbs like a leopard slinking through the grassland. As he passed through the houses, he quickly reached the central house.

The Einherjars were also quite vigilant. Even if Wei Xiao Bei had been at his quietest, there was still an Einherjar that noticed it.

This was probably some kind of premonition of danger. After all, the Einherjars were veterans of a hundred battles that had sharper senses than the normal person.

“Something moved?”

Following the EInherjar’s actions, the other three Einherjars looked in Wei Xiao Bei’s direction.

Wei Xiao Bei did not intend to evade at all. He leaped up from the ground and with a wave of his left hand, three daggers flew out. In an instant, it had penetrated the three Einherjar’s eyes. Afterward, he held the great spear with his right hand and pierced the last Einherjar before it could shout.

One shot!

After eliminating the guards, Wei Xiao Bei walked into the room. When he was about to open the door, he quickly retreated backward. A two-handed sword immediately blew the door open and chopped toward him.

However, the Einherjar hidden inside the house could still not escape death as Wei Xiao Bei also killed him with one strike.

From the opening that was blown from the door, Wei Xiao Bei could see an incomparably green light!

He walked into the room and saw needle-sized spring water floating in the middle of the room. Candlelight lit it up from the back, creating beautiful green light.

Wei Xiao Bei first carefully stored the water into his storage bracelet.

Compared to the spring water that he previously stole, the amount he had taken now should only be about a hundred milliliters.

After storing the spring water, he took a green-colored fragment that was the size of half a thumb. Wei Xiao Bei could feel a very dense amount of life energy from it.

He felt as if he had returned to his mother’s womb.

When he held it in his hand, cool air stuck and entered his body, causing his cells to jump up in excitement.

Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes and looked at the fragment.

Name: Pedestal Fragment of the Fountain of Youth (Severely Damaged, Immortal Quality)

Description: This object is a fragment of the Fountain of Youth, capable of creating Spring Water of Youth.

Effect 1: Create Secondary Spring Water of Youth. One drop per day.

Effect 2: Merge. This object could merge with other fragments.

......

After looking at the description, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but be surprised.

A small fragment was already an immortal quality treasure. From this, the quality of the complete Fountain of Youth could be guessed.

Wei Xiao Bei did not guess wrong. The fragment had an innate merging ability. However, the Einherjars had already lost the guidance and glory from when they were led by the gods. They had fallen into an awful state.

Naturally, if it was not like that, Wei Xiao Bei would not have been able to easily obtain a fragment.

If the fountain was in a complete state, then there would be more Einherjars guarding it, once again uniting the Einherjar army. This was not something Wei Xiao Bei could defeat alone.

After obtaining a fragment, Wei Xiao Bei did not become too complacent. He immediately stored the corpses of the Einherjars into his storage bracelet and removed the stench of blood.

Although the storage bracelet could not store another Flame Giant’s corpse, the remaining space could still store thirty Einherjar corpses without a problem.

After cleaning up any traces of himself, Wei Xiao Bei moved toward the closest tribe. He carefully crawled there. When he was about to encounter a patrolling Einherjar, he pulled out his great spear and turned invisible, borrowing its power to hide from the patrol.

After moving and stopping, Wei Xiao Bei reached the second tribe.

This tribe was a lot stronger than the previous one.

Just their houses alone reached a hundred. In other words, this tribe had more than a thousand people. Thus, more than twenty people were guarding the central house.

Thinking about it, Wei Xiao Bei took out an Einherjar’s armor from the storage bracelet and wore it.

Naturally, these Einherjars were mostly 1.9 meters tall. With Wei Xiao Bei at 1.7 meters, the armor did not fit properly when he wore it.

Naturally, this was a small matter.

Wei Xiao Bei needed the Einherjars to hesitate a bit and that was enough.

After changing armor, Wei Xiao Bei crawled over and suddenly jumped up. He threw the daggers and swept with his great spear. In an instant, he had killed seven Einherjars.

Wei Xiao Bei’s appearance and his attack had bewildered the Einherjars.

There was no doubt that they thought that another tribe had come to raid them when they saw Wei Xiao Bei’s armor.

Since it was not an outside enemy, they did not go ask for a different tribe for help. There might be a chance that other tribes had also colluded with them in the attack.

In short, when the last Einherjar died, the intense battle had attracted other tribes’ attention.

Compared to the fragment of the first tribe, the fragment of a thousand man tribe was a lot bigger. It was at least half the size of a fist. As for the spring water, there were more than three hundred milliliters of it. It was low in proportion to the first one, but with the habit of the Einherjars to drink some after a while, having three hundred milliliters was already good enough.

After storing the spring water, Wei Xiao Bei did not immediately merge the shards.

This object was not a normal pottery fragment. Once they merged, who knew what kind of situation would happen. It would be better for him to just run away.

There were more than a thousand Einherjars that had been attracted to the battle. With other possibly strong people in the settlement, it was already not bad for him to get away with his life. He did not have excessive hopes of eliminating the Einherjars.

With the risky condition that he was in, he could not help but be a bit more cautious.

In the next period, Wei Xiao Bei’s luck was not bad which was probably thanks to Kashmir. In just this period, he had already passed through fifteen tribes and obtained fifteen fragments.

The only problematic thing was that the storage bracelet could not fit anything anymore, not even a corpse. Wei Xiao Bei could not help but hide some of the corpses inside the houses, hoping that the patrolling Einherjars would not notice.

He would have had an easier time if only the Life Altar was awake. He could not only get rid of the corpses, but he could also breed a creature that would attract the Einherjar’s attention. Then he would have an easier time to move.

Walking in the dark would make one encounter a demon.

This phrase was quite accurate.

Although Kashmir had [Innate Luck], it was not an absolute thing. Otherwise, the fairies would have been unparalleled under heaven.

As he slinked into the 27th tribe, Wei Xiao Bei finally encountered a true challenge.

The tribe was quite huge and there were more than three hundred houses. Just the Einherjars guarding the fragment alone numbered eighty people!

Naturally, eighty Einherjars were still no match for Wei Xiao Bei. At most, it would only waste a bit of time.

After all, the Einherjars were not smart creatures. Seeing Wei Xiao Bei suddenly kill a few Einherjars, there was an Einherjar that berated him, asking why he was attacking their own side and asking which tribe Wei Xiao Bei was from.

There was no reason for Wei Xiao Bei to answer the question. If he was even a bit careless, he would have exposed his identity.

Thus, taking the chance while the Einherjars had not all gathered, Wei Xiao Bei went on a killing spree. He did not even mind the pikes that were thrown at him as he used his body to endure them. He even sent some of them back and killed the enemy.

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei’s battle strength had struck fear in the hearts of the Einherjars, causing them to lose a lot of morale.

Just when the Einherjars’ morale was about to hit rock bottom, a loud roar came from inside the central house.

In the next moment, Wei Xiao Bei felt that a pike had been thrown at him.

Initially, he thought that it was the same as other pikes and would not cause him much damage, but in the next instant, a premonition of danger appeared in his heart. His [Reactive Rebound] had activated and assumed control of his body, causing him to suddenly get down on the ground. Then a loud explosion echoed.

After entering the Einherjar’s settlement, he had kept [Reponse Search] active allowing him to understand his surroundings. Thus, when the pike that was glowing with red light passed the top of his head, he understood that it had exploded when it landed on the ground, creating a two-meter hole. As for the Einherjars that were not able to dodge it, they had been blasted into a paste as their flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

What a powerful attack!

Wei Xiao Bei’s closed eyes could not help but tighten.
