The City of Terror

Chapter 438 – Enchanced Modulation

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In truth, even the Shing Wong Border Patrollers felt that this was a bit strange. They wondered where their helper had run off to.

It must be said that those Gargoyles were strange. When they had approached the Black Church, they had just fallen to the ground without even the slightest scruple against the pursuing soldiers. It was to the point that once the soldiers caught up and reached the square, they had a great time killing them. The Gargoyles did not resist at all as they had been killed by the soldiers.

Among them, the executioner was the most outstanding. He brandished his huge cleaver, killing three Gargoyles with every chop.

However, the situation quickly changed. The square suddenly let out black smoke that polluted the soldiers’ bodies, causing them to bleed and collapse.

Wei Xiao Bei only turned around when he felt that he was in a safe location.

If a normal person saw the soldiers bleeding all over their body, they might think that the black smoke was poisonous.

However, Wei Xiao Bei saw it. The black smoke was something that appeared to be alive. As long as it polluted something, it would bite it like crazy. Even the big executioner did not last half a minute. The executioner just swung around his cleaver like mad and finally dropped it on the ground as he collapsed like a huge pillar.

Seeing this scene, the Shing Wong Border Patroller came to an understanding. It appeared that his victory was a trap that killed his army!

“This? How could this be?”

The cold faced border patroller became angry. The long sword in his hands chopped toward the black church.

It could be said that the red long sword’s power was quite frightening. Just the sword qi flying over and striking the incredibly hard plaza floor had caused a huge crack to open. The depth of the crack was several meters deep. The crack had even extended to the steps of the church.

However, this was to no avail. The soldiers that had died did not recover at all. On the contrary, black smoke became even more concentrated. In the end, it enveloped the entire Black Church and the plaza, making it impossible to see any movements inside.

The border patroller chopped a few times with his sword. The sword qi landed on the black smoke, and the sound of the ground splitting could be heard, but the black smoke did not disperse at all.

These few chops had left the border patroller’s face red.

Wei Xiao Bei could see that he was not flying into a fit of anger but was storing the power to properly disperse the smoke.

The sword qi fired by the long sword contained hard and soft energies. If it was used to deal with monsters like manticores, then it would not take much effort to do so. However, these few strikes that were fired were all at full strength. The border patroller would naturally be unable to continue.

Wei Xiao Bei guessed that it would not feel good if he was struck by the blade.

Gradually, Wei Xiao Bei could feel a sense of danger growing from within the black smoke. Moreover, it was quickly getting larger.

“I say it would be best if we return now.”

Wei Xiao Bei hesitated and persuaded the border patroller.

However, the border patroller was not willing to leave and sat cross-legged, “If you want to leave then leave. This god is determined to stay. Right, I’ll give you this plate. You will gain some benefits by going to the Shing Wong Temple.”

After saying this, the border patroller gave him a wooden plate. Wei Xiao Bei hesitantly took it and let out a bitter smile.

The border patroller was straightforward and upright. After receiving benefits, he immediately reciprocated. However, looking at him sending himself to his death made Wei Xiao Bei feel unpleasant.

It was like saving someone from jumping from a building and becoming a hero. But then, while enjoying the praises of everyone, the person once again jumped down.

Wei Xiao Bei never imagined that the gods of the Shing Wong Temple would be this stubborn.

Having no choice, Wei Xiao Bei simply left, but then he quietly returned, looking at the black smoke surrounding the black church from a distance.

At this moment, the border patroller simply stood there with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating. On the other hand, the red long sword was floating in front of him and began to emit a red glow.

Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei came to an understanding. It appears that the border patroller had a bit of confidence. He was going to rely on his red long sword. It could be seen that the red long sword’s might was not yet fully exhibited.

Wei Xiao Bei had seen it correctly. The border patroller’s red long sword should be something bestowed by the Shing Wong himself. The Shing Wong naturally did not create the sword and it was probably conferred by someone of a higher position.

This thing should probably be something that the Shing Wong had personally used. The Shing Wong was the highest level god in the entire Bai Ta Hill. However, his forces were not that strong. In the end, he had gifted this to the border patroller to make the best use of it.

However, this object was originally the Shing Wong’s possession. Because the border patroller’s position was not that high, there was a limit in the power he could draw out from it, but if he was willing to pay the price, he could fire off a devastating move.

The black smoke continued to expand as time passed, spreading in all directions. Moreover, a pillar pointing to the skies was forming from it.

In the end, the smoke pillar extended to who knows how high.

Soon after, Wei Xiao Bei could feel the hidden danger of the black smoke increase like a volcanic eruption. Compared to previously, the danger level increased by ten times.

At this time, the black smoke began to thin, and Wei Xiao Bei immediately used [Eagle Eye] to increase his vision and see through the smoke.

At this moment, a black oval-shaped rock lay on the plaza at the center of the smoke. On the smoke pillar, countless visible black kernels were being sucked in. As time passed, the black oval stone in the center kept expanding. In just a short amount of time, it had expanded tremendously.

There was no doubt that the Shing Wong Border Patroller could sense a mighty existence. His face became serene as his lips squirmed. Who knew what he mumbled, but the red sword’s glow quickly intensified. In just a few seconds, the candlelight-sized glow intensified to the first stage of the setting sun, so red that it appeared like fresh blood.

By contrast, the Shing Wong Border Patroller’s expression and even his palms had become pale. He continued to wrinkle like a person with one foot in the grave.

This scene made him gasp. Although he did not know what kind of move the Shing Wong Border Patroller was going to use, he could see that it was harming his body.

The Shing Wong Border Patroller was in a sorry state to consider risking his life.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei who had dug a hole for himself became happy.

This was not because he had thought of something exciting, but because the Fledgling Life Altar had finally woken up.

Its evolution had finished.

Wei Xiao Bei impatiently looked at its status.

Name: Fledgeling Life Altar (Rare Quality)

Descriptions: This object is created as a by-product of the Mutated Farmer’s Market condensing divine power. Due to forceful absorption, it had led to this object becoming broken. After eating various objects, this object has fully recovered.

Effect 1: Devour Flesh. This object can devour flesh that contains energy into its reserves. Storage limit of three thousand.

Effect 2: Breed. After using a certain amount of flesh, this object can create five different foundational creatures. The foundational creature template can be deleted.

Effect 3: Modulation. After using a certain amount of flesh, the foundational creatures could be upgraded.

Effect 4: Enhanced Modulation. After using a certain amount of evolution points and a certain amount of flesh, the foundational creatures could receive enhanced modulation and become a new foundational creature.

Effect 5: Bestow. The owner can use up a certain amount of evolution points to bestow a skill to the foundational creature, but only one skill.

Effect 6: Owner Recognition. This item will initially drain a third of the owner’s blood. After the recognition is completed, this item will drill into the owner’s flesh.

Effect 7: Evolution. This object can evolve by devouring rare quality goods.

.....

This time’s evolution could be called the full recovery of the Fledgling Life Altar.

After the Fledgling Life Altar fully recovered, large changes happened to its status.

After it had fully recovered, the Fledgling Life Altar could now breed five foundational creatures, and a new effect had appeared. It could not perform enhanced modulation and allow him to obtain a new foundational creature.

Naturally, this effect needed both flesh and evolution points.

For the new foundational creature, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet obtained any powerful creature’s meat. Thus he did not pay attention to it yet. However, he could try enhanced modulation.

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei extended his left hand into the soil. Soon after flesh strands shot out and opened up the soil, creating a fist-sized ball.

Soon, the ball cracked open, and a small pig drilled out. This was Wei Xiao Bei’s first foundational creature, the Weak Pig.

It could be said that the foundational creature had been strengthened due to the evolution of the Fledgling Life Altar. However, it was so small that it did not have any power to fight.

Even if it finished eating the scraps, its body only expanded to the size of two fists. It might be nice to use it for house decoration, but it could not fight at all.

Thinking about it, Wei Xiao Bei once again extended his hand. The flesh strands covered up the small pig into a ball again. Afterward, he closed his eyes and focused on the template in his mind and began to perform enhanced modulation.

First, he performed enhancement on the first foundational creature and made it bigger.
