Chapter 441 Absorption
Herage didn't notice the difference in strength between these five kobolds, because the difference in strength was too great, so they were all killed with one blow.
A gust of wind blew by, carrying the bloody smell here far away.
Herage put away the maces and other weapons that were still usable on the ground for later use.
We haven't figured out the situation here yet, so everything that can be used must be put away.
After Herage put away his weapon, he quickly left the place.
He came to the place where Tessa died and checked. It was indeed completely dead and there was no possibility of saving her.
If it is a wizard specializing in the necromancy system, he may be able to awaken Tessa's soul to ask some questions.
But Herage had no such means and could only give up.
He groped for a while on Tessa's body and was a little surprised that there was no space ring.
Judging from the various injuries on the corpse, it was obvious that there had been several attacks, because the recovery of many injuries was different, indicating that the order of time was different.
These kobolds were probably just picking up the slack. When they met Tessa, Tessa was actually close to running out of gas.
A dignified first-level crystallized wizard was killed by a kobold who smashed the back of his head with a stick.
Herage couldn't help but feel sad that the rabbit had died, maybe he would be next.
He glanced at the direction Tessa was running towards, and he could already see some forest areas over there.
The boundary of the Gobi Desert is also nearby, and you should be able to meet other intelligent creatures further forward.
Since Tessa ran over there, it meant that she must have encountered danger there.
Herage thought for a while and decided to go and investigate.
Because there is no point in going back, and going back is just walking into the desert area, and the probability of finding valuable clues there is too low.
Although the risk is higher if you go forward, if you can come into contact with intelligent creatures, there will be many more valuable clues.
After Herage figured it out, he stood up and prepared to leave.
He suddenly stopped, looked back at Tessa's body, stretched out his hand to condense a fireball and cremated Tessa's body.
Tessa herself doesn't have any grudges against him. They are both from the wizard plane. It can be regarded as giving her the most basic dignity so as not to become food for other creatures.
After several fireball spells, Tessa's body had been completely burned.
After Herage finished doing this, he cheered up and began to move forward cautiously.
The vegetation nearby gradually became denser, and Herrag even discovered a meandering stream hidden in the grass.
He groped along the direction Tessa came from, and found a cave after a while.
The location of this cave is extremely secluded. It is an underground cave with a slope at the entrance and dense bushes growing near the slope.
If Herage hadn't had environmental detection, it would have been difficult for him to notice this cave.
He saw some footprints at the entrance of the cave. Judging from the footprints, they belonged to the kobolds.
Herage also noticed through environmental detection that there was a kobold in the cave, lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.
There are many debris piled up in the cave, including bones of various animals and human bones.
"Shadow Corner."
Herage's huge body turned into a black shadow, huddled on the ground and moved forward quickly, quietly approaching the sleeping kobold.
The black shadow traveled all the way and came to the front and rear of the kobold. Herague jumped up from the black shadow, holding a long knife in both hands, and slashed it down vertically.
The kobold didn't notice anything at all, and the bodies separated in his sleep.
The kobold didn't even feel any pain and was already dead.
A wisp of black energy floated out from the body of the kobold. When Herag saw it, he quickly used his natural ability, demonic power, to absorb it into his body.
After the devil's aura entered the body, it was directly immersed in the surroundings of the body.
Herague closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes brought about by the devil's aura.
There is not much special feeling, but I can feel that my body seems to be strengthened slightly.
"Deep Blue, what changes did this wisp of demonic aura bring to the body?" Herage asked.
"Calculating..."
"The devil's breath increases strength by 0.1, agility by 0.1, and constitution by 0.1."
"There is actually an increase of 0.1 points."
Herage didn't expect to be able to strengthen it by 0.1 points. His physical strength is already very strong now.
It is quite a lot to have such an increase based on the current situation.
Herage couldn't help but have more thoughts. If such a demonic aura could be obtained in large quantities, wouldn't it be possible to strengthen the physical body to an extremely high level?
He recalled the demonic aura he had just wasted, and suddenly felt a little distressed.
After Herage absorbed the devil's aura, he wandered around the cave, ready to look for anything valuable.
But after looking around, I didn't find anything of value.
He originally wanted to look for something like words, but he didn't see any at all.
Words represent civilization, and you can learn a lot through words.
Herage left the place after finding nothing else in the cave.
The surrounding area has completely turned into a forest scene, but the strange thing is that there are almost no animals seen, only some small animals.
Normally, there would definitely be many animals in such a large area of forest.
But in Herage's environmental detection range, not even a rabbit was seen, which was obviously inconsistent with common sense.
He then thought that those kobolds looked like they hadn't eaten for a long time.
Their cave is so close to the forest, and it is impossible for them to lack food based on their physical strength.
Herage then thought about where Tessa had come from and that she had been injured.
Taking these factors together, there must be hidden dangers in the forest.
Herage walked into the forest cautiously, paying attention to the feedback from environmental detection. So far, he has not found any abnormalities.
After lurking in the forest for half an hour, he discovered a pile of excrement.
After discovering feces, Herage became highly vigilant, which meant that he had entered the range of some kind of animal.
The black shadow he transformed into stayed next to the feces for a short while and then quickly left. Not long after, he heard a beast roar in the distance, and the sound was extremely loud.
Herage moved in the direction of the source of the sound, and soon saw what was roaring.
It was a tiger-like animal that was not very large, and was slightly larger than an ordinary tiger.
"Is this thing controlling the nearby forest area?" Herage was a little unsure.
Judging from the size, this tiger does not seem to be very strong. Those kobolds should still be able to fight, and they will not be huddled on the border between the Gobi Desert and the forest. (End of chapter)
