It must be known that Wei Xiao Bei’s gains against these kinds of weaker creatures had reached its limits. Previously, he would gain 200 evolution points per kill, but now he could only gain 40 evolution points.

Naturally, this meant that Wei Xiao Bei could kill more than ten Fire Crows with one swing of his great spear.

The Shu-Han officers were careful not to let a Fire Crow pounce on them. Some had released white gas that covered their body and some were more agile and just evaded the Fire Crows.

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not worry about them. The flames from the Fire Crows were only around 300-400 degrees Celcius. With Wei Xiao Bei’s intermediate [Flame Resistance], the damage done to him was decreased by half. The remaining half could be endured by his body.

After swinging more than ten times, Wei Xiao Bei’s arms felt a bit numb.

Every Fire Crow would explode after being killed. The shockwaves merged and traveled down the spear handle. The force behind it was not a joke.

Naturally, it was not possible that he could kill ten Fire Crows with every swing. If his luck was bad, he would only be able to kill two Fire Crows.

After all, those Fire Crows were flying in the air and not walking on the ground.

After ten swings, Wei Xiao Bei gained 2100 evolution points. This was not a bad harvest.

At this time, the stone fort let out three drum strikes.

Wei Xiao Bei did not dare slow down and ignored the Fire Crows as he directly threw himself to the ground.

Other officials did the same.

In truth, before everyone lied down on the ground, the stone fort had already fired another volley of arrows.

Hearing the continuous whooshing sounds, Wei Xiao Bei felt cold sweat drip on his back.

If the soldiers were just a bit careless and the repeating crossbows were aimed a bit lower, then the situation would turn for the worse.

Three thousand repeating crossbows in ten waves were equivalent to thirty thousand arrows. Moreover, those arrows were not normal arrows from the real world. These were created by expert craftsmen in the barracks and they carried penetrating effects.

Let alone Wei Xiao Bei, even 4-Star Elite colonels and lieutenant-generals would not have a good time if the arrows had rained down on them.

Luckily, the soldiers were well trained even if they were only 2-Star Elite Creatures. They would not weaken from holding the repeating crossbows, thus no tragedy would occur.

The remaining fifteen thousand Fire Crows had been decreased by four thousand after the killing spree by the officers. The ten waves of crossbow fire decreased them even further. If they had charged over in their previously dense formation, then the army’s destruction would be inevitable.

At this time, even if the Fire Crows were brainless, they had also felt the danger. How could they continue to charge toward the stone fort? They split up and flew away.

Wei Xiao Bei followed the officials to pursue and kill them until they heard the drums signaling retreat. They could not help but follow orders and retreated.

The previous battle was so intense that everyone did not pay attention to others. Now that the battle had finished, they looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Even Wei Xiao Bei’s face had become pitch black.

No matter how strong they were they could not block the black smoke that appeared after the Fire Crows exploded.

At this time, some soldiers had come out from the stone fort. They pulled big carts to clean up the battlefield. They needed to collect every corpse, every arrow, and various other things. After doing so, they returned to the barrack.

Although the Fire Crow corpses had exploded, the feathers were still intact and could be turned into arrows. Even the meat of the Fire Crows that blew up was an important strategic resource.

Wei Xiao Bei’s gains were a total of 2540 evolution points, causing his almost depleted evolution points to reach 2660 points.

On the third day, Zhao Yun went to find him and told him that he needed to leave.

The reason was simple. Soon, a big battle would commence. Once it begins, it would be impossible to leave the valley and return to the real world and nobody knows why.

Wei Xiao Bei as Zhao Yun’s sworn brother felt apologetic that he had to leave while his big brother was going to encounter a fight.

However, who knew that Zhao Yun would not simply let Wei Xiao Bei go and passed on his matter to him.

“Zhao Guang will follow you from now on.”

Zhao Yun’s words had caused both Wei Xiao Bei and Zhao Guang to be flabbergasted.

Before Wei Xiao Bei could speak, Zhao Yun warned Zhao Guang, “In the future, you must treat your second uncle’s words as mine. Do not do things by yourself, understand?”

“This child will remember lord father’s words.”

Zhao Guang was still an obedient child. He listened to Zhao Guang’s words and immediately nodded.

“Good. Little brother should leave with Zhao Guang first. I’ll leave the matter of my injury to you.”

Zhao Yun simply did not give Wei Xiao Bei the chance to talk and settled everything.

When Wei Xiao Bei reached the pool that he previously entered, only then did Wei Xiao Bei thought of a question, “Brother, how will Guang’er leave with me?”

In Wei Xiao Bei’s view, this was an important question.

Zhao Guang was not someone from the real world, how was he going to follow me?

This should be impossible!

“No problem. If it was sending a ten thousand strong army, your brother might have a hard time, but sending one or two people is not a problem.”

After saying this, Zhao Yun threw a fire-red stone into the pool. The pool immediately boiled and quickly became a whirlpool that let out red brilliance.

“Little brother, you go back first. I’ll send Guang’er after you.”

Zhao Yun patted Wei Xiao Bei’s shoulder, giving an ‘I’ll leave this to you’ indication, causing Wei Xiao Bei to be speechless.

……

When Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes, he found out that he had returned to the real world. Beside him was the unchanging pool. The barracks had already disappeared.

After a while, a whirlpool once again appeared in the pool. Afterward, Zhao Guang appeared in the middle of the pool with his eyes closed. When the whirlpool stopped he had begun to sink.

Wei Xiao Bei did not dare hesitate and dove into the water to save Zhao Guang.

Coming onshore, Wei Xiao Bei placed Zhao Guang on top of a rock while feeling apprehensive. Zhao Guang might appear to be 12-13 years old and he was not that tall, but his weight was not light. At the very least, he was as heavy as an adult male.

Seeing that it was a bit cold in the surroundings, Wei Xiao Bei worried that Zhao Guang might catch a cold, so he created a bonfire at the side.

Soon, Zhao Guang woke up and immediately saluted when he saw Wei Xiao Bei, “Guang greets uncle.”

Wei Xiao Bei had already gotten used to the ancient way of talking in the valley and he had no choice but to follow suit.

“Good, you don’t need to be too polite. Your second uncle does not pay much attention to etiquette.”

After saying this, Wei Xiao Bei saw that Zhao Guang was slightly unable to let go and did not appear well. He did not continue to pay attention and pulled out his pot from the storage bag. Then he put in some rice and began to boil congee. He also added some meat.

After eating, Zhao Guang appeared to be a lot better and began to ask Wei Xiao Bei what to do.

Wei Xiao Bei first walked around the pool, trying to feel out the curse on him. He felt that it had been suppressed a lot and did not exhibit any effects.

“Let us return first. There are some things you need to learn. Otherwise, you will be put in a difficult situation here.”

Wei Xiao Bei used [Status Appraisal] on Zhao Guang while he was talking.

Afterward, he looked over at his status and wanted to curse.

Just like Zhao Yun, he could only see Zhao Guang’s creature rank.

Although his creature rank was not as high as Zhao Tong, he was still a 3-Star Terror Creature.

A child that was only 12-13 years old was a 3-Star Terror Creature. This was simply an attack on Wei Xiao Bei.

Moreover, while he was living in the valley, Wei Xiao Bei could see that Zhao Guang had learned much at home. Even his spear techniques were superior to Wei Xiao Bei’s.

This was another attack against Wei Xiao Bei.

There was no doubt that Zhao Yun sending his second son for him to take care of was the same as sending Wei Xiao Bei some extra hands.

The only problematic thing was that Zhao Guang did not have any experience in the modern world. He was simply a time traveler.

Wei Xiao Bei had also seen some movies about ancient people crossing to modern times.

Although there were a lot of questionable parts, there was one certain thing. When ancient people come to modern times, whether it was their livelihood, thought process, or any other aspect, they could not easily get used to it.

After eating and drinking their fill. Wei Xiao Bei once again caught some fish from the pool and placed it inside his storage bag. Afterward, he exterminated the bonfire and walked with Zhao Guang along the river.

The next matter had confirmed Wei Xiao Bei’s thoughts.

“Second uncle, what is that? Is it for hanging clothes?”

“That is a high voltage wire. You cannot touch it or you will be electrocuted.”

“Second uncle, what kind of monster is that? How could it grow round legs?”

“That is a car. It is similar to a carriage.”

“You can’t run away monster!”

“Stop! That is not a monster, it’s a tractor!”

After walking out of the valley, Wei Xiao Bei brought Zhao Guang out and Zhao Guang immediately acted like a child full of questions.

Wei Xiao Bei needed to keep watching the boy. Otherwise, Zhao Guang could provoke some trouble.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that Zhao Guang was quite mischievous. He walked a different path from his father, who was a fierce general and felt a bit more like Zhang Fei.

After flagging down a taxi with difficulty, Zhao Guang’s questions increased after riding the ‘monster’.
