The City of Terror

The Carthaginian soldier on it should have regained control and pulled on the rope to immediately turn around and attack Wei Xiao Bei.

Without a doubt, the threat of a directed war elephants was bigger than one without. Moreover, when the war elephant approached Wei Xiao Bei, the Carthaginians on top of it threw javelins at him.

The soldiers on top were 2-Star Elite Creatures. If they wanted to injure Wei Xiao Bei, the difficulty was high.

Wei Xiao Bei stretched out his hands and caught the javelins flying towards him. With a turn of his body, he threw back the javelins that he had caught.

Puff! Puff!

The sound of something pierced sounded twice. The soldiers on the elephant had fallen from it.

The javelins had pierced through their chest where one skewered two. In an instant, there were no more soldiers on top of the elephant.

Wei Xiao Bei was disappointed that the evolution points awarded to him did not increase after the Carthaginian soldiers were bathed in the light.

These Carthaginian soldiers’ strength that had been raised to 2-Star Elite level could only merit him with 30 evolution points.

Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei could faintly see that when he had killed all the soldiers on the war elephant, something blue came out from the corpses of the soldiers, floating in the air.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei had no time to inspect these things at the moment. He touched his small holding bag and pulled out the Hard Metal Jian.

The elephant was currently less than 10 meters away from him.

The war elephant pulled back its long nose and waited for Wei Xiao Bei to try and dodge its charge. Then it thrust its nose at Wei Xiao Bei with the glinting dagger attached on it.

Whoosh!

Wei Xiao Bei did not show any mercy. His jian smashed at the incoming nose without any difficulty.

Bang!

A loud sound echoed as the elephant’s long nose had instantly been broken apart. It let out a tragic cry and stopped its charge. It originally wanted to charge at Wei Xiao Bei again, but because of this attack, the great pain he received had made his body collapse.

Kill the enemy while they were down!

Wei Xiao Bei did not even wait for the dust settle down as he charged ahead and striked the elephant’s head without any hesitation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The continuous hit coupled with vibration strike and heavy strike landed on the elephant.

The elephant immediately let out tragic cries, but the elephant did not instantly die.

On the contrary, it even tried to struggle back up.

In truth, a big creature like the war elephant was not really overwhelming in terms of power. Once it encountered a creature that was stronger than it and as long as the opponent could make them fall down, then it would be impossible for them to get back up and counterattack anymore.

Naturally, if it were the Roman cavalry which had mediocre strength that made them fall down, they could still easily stand back up to start another battle.

No matter what was said, the war elephant was now dead.

In the end, it was like was forfeit under Wei Xiao Bei’s jian.

No matter how strong it was, it was hit in the head for more than 20 times by the jian. Even steel would have been smashed flat.

200 evolution points obtained.

Without a doubt, even if the Carthaginians had become stronger, it was a false power up, so their evolution points did not change.

Wei Xiao Bei sighed. He pulled out the evolving great spear and thrust it on the elephant’s head.

Eh?

When the great spear that looked like a iron rod was inserted into the elephant’s head, Wei Xiao Bei could feel changes happening to the elephant’s head.

A cyan-colored gas came out from the iron rod and began to erode deep into the elephant’s wound, sucking up the elephant’s power.

Soon, a golden kernel was drilling out of the wound. It was trying to avoid the cyan-colored gas and attempted to fly away as if it was alive.

However, before it was able to come out, the cyan-colored gas expanded like a net as it enveloped the golden kernel.

In an instant, the cyan-colored gas had covered the golden kernel.

The kernel tried to escape the cyan-colored gas, but the cyan-colored gas was like thick glue as it blocked it from escaping.

Soon, the elephant’s body dried up as every part of its body was absorbed by the cyan-colored gas. Then it dragged the golden kernel into the iron rod, disappearing from sight.

What was that?

Wei Xiao Bei was curious. He grabbed on the iron rod that was his great spear, but he did not feel any changes, as if the golden kernel simply never existed.

Since he could not understand it, Wei Xiao Bei temporarily placed it at the back of his head.

In the next moment, he looked around his surroundings and picked up the elephant’s nose.

It was still very fresh as it had just been cut off.

As an experienced chef, Wei Xiao Bei knew the benefits of elephant’s nose, so he immediately placed it into his Small Holding Bag.

Elephant’s nose was one of the eight treasures in ancient times. Bear’s paw, deer antler, elephant’s trunk, and camel’s hump were included in this.

Elephant’s trunk was also referring to its nose.

As a natural ingredient, there was no need to mention how precious the elephant’s nose was.

In every country of the world, elephants were precious protected animals while elephant hunters would normally kill them in order to obtain their ivory. As for nose, no one really cared about them.

Naturally, foreigners not knowing about first-rate dishes in Chinese food was pardonable.

At present, elephant trunk was something people could not normally eat anymore.

It was simply impossible to obtain this ingredient through legal channels.

Without a doubt, Wei Xiao Bei’s gaze was now on the war elephants that were attacking the Romans.

If he returned to the real world, he would not have any interest in hunting elephants, but this place was the Dust World.

Previously, the Roman officer had attempted to separate the elephants, preventing them from damaging the catapults.

However, there were only a more than a hundred people obstructing the war elephants.

Moreover, in front of the elephants, these soldiers and officials were dregs.

Only a few stronger officers were able to injure the elephant to attract their attention. If it were normal soldiers, they would simply be knocked flying by the elephant with a sweep of its nose.

When Wei Xiao Bei’s attention moved towards the elephant, another elephant broke through the obstructing soldiers and charged towards the catapults.

There was no doubt that the Carthaginians had discovered the catapults.

The boulders flung by the catapults were simply too powerful.

Even in the real world, boulders flung by ancient catapults was enough to blow away city gates.

However, these catapults had been powered up a lot more in the Dust World.

Once a boulder had been flung and landed in the middle of an army formation, it could instantly kill more than 50 people.

Even if there was only a few people in the formation, it was still able to kill 7-8 people.

In other words, once every one of the 30+ catapults displayed their might, every wave of attack would be able to cause 300-400 enemy casualties.

If one wave could cause 300-400 damage, then 10 waves was enough to change the tides of war.

Moreover with the Roman cavalry being more in number compared to the Carthaginian cavalry, the Carthaginians would gradually lose control of the war as time passed by.

Thus, the Carthaginians had sent the war elephants to this direction and destroyed the catapults.

If 7-8 war elephants charged over, it would be problematic, but since there was only one that had escaped the blockade, it was the same as gifting Wei Xiao Bei with evolution points and elephant’s trunk.

Wei Xiao Bei held onto javelins in each hand as he stood on the elephant’s path.

The Carthaginians riding on the elephant’s back could not help but let out sinister smiles.

For the Carthaginian soldiers, the war elephants that they were riding were the strongest weapons in this battle field. Anyone that blocked their path would be fated with death.

However, what they never imagined was that in a 50 meter distance, the Roman soldier in front had thrown his javelin.

They could not even clearly see the javelin’s trajectory. As they felt pain in their chests, they looked down and saw that the javelin had already pierced their chests.

For Wei Xiao Bei, the Carthaginian soldiers riding the elephant were swaying left and right, but they were too eye-grabbing as they sat together.

Moreover, for a long ranged weapon like a javelin, he was already used to handling them.

His strength with his [Concealed Weapon] skill as greater heights was something people could not easily imagine.

As the Carthaginian soldiers died, the war elephant felt as if something was wrong.

After killing an elephant, Wei Xiao Bei’s body could not help but be drenched in its blood.

An elephant’s nose was sharp. When it smelled the blood of its kin, Wei Xiao Bei had become the war elephants sole target.

However, no matter how the elephant moved and attacked, it was not able to injure Wei Xiao Bei at all. On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei only needed to smash it 10 times to make it limp on the ground.

No matter what was said, the war elephant still had the strength of a 3-Star Creature.

However, it was too heavy and big. If it was a 3-Star orangutan that appeared in front of him instead of an elephant, Wei Xiao Bei would have a harder time dealing with it.

The best weapon to deal with the war elephants was the jian.

The war elephants had a strong defense to the point that the weapons of the Roman officers were completely ineffective. Other than shields which were still quite useful, javelins and pikes were simply unusable.
