Chapter 2: Devouring Souls

Is this also a crossing perk?

Sauron's brow furrowed, and he felt an endless evil and devastating force from above, causing him to tremble just by feeling it.

This force is too destructive and brutal, as if it wants to destroy everything in the world, greedily plundering and devouring everything!

Anyway, what's written in it?

Previously, after Bouel got the book, he wanted to open it, but he couldn't.

On the surface, this book looks like an ordinary leather scroll, but it is incredibly hard.

The knife couldn't make a single mark on it.

Whoa!

As his mind moved, the books in his mind fluttered.

But after turning several pages in a row, no information was displayed, and everything was blank.

"Uh, wordless heavenly book?" The corners of Zoro's mouth twitched.

It seemed that because of his thoughts, the books in his mind continued to flip.

Turning to the first page, lines and lines of writing appeared on the blank brown-yellow paper.

Name: Sauron Bymon

[Level]: Demon Warlock (Apprentice) (Soul bound to the Demon Codex, unable to change classes)

[Talent]: Devouring Souls

[Soul Origin]: 0

[Attributes]: Strength 9, Agility 9, Constitution 8, Spirit 15

[Skill]: None

"It is estimated that the four attributes of healthy adults are all 10 points as the basic value, and my body is not yet a complete adult, so naturally I can't reach all of them to the full value."

"The evil ability of devouring souls, once discovered, will definitely become an evil existence that everyone shouts about!"

Looking at this [Soul Devouring] ability in the description, Zoro only felt his scalp tingle.

But it's also normal, this book is originally a demon codex, and the soul can be described as a delicacy for demons, and it is a natural ability.

After devouring the soul, you can unlock the true ability of the Demon Codex.

Do you want to kill someone?

Boom! Boom!

At this moment, footsteps came from downstairs, and heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer down the stairs.

Zoro instantly reached for his shotgun and stared tense at the staircase.

The death crisis was with him at all times, so that he did not dare to relax at all.

However, when the figure came into view, Zoro naturally let go of the shotgun.

"Good evening, Mr. Bouel." He bowed his head slightly to greet the other.

In front of him was a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a gray robe, holding a silver cane, and wearing a small black round hat.

His face is extremely thin, and he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he has the temperament of a scholar who reads poetry and books.

When he saw him, he was tired and said, "Zoro, you haven't slept yet." ”

"I was reading a book just now, and I accidentally read it too much......" Zoro scratched his head a little embarrassed and changed the subject.

"Teacher, how is Uncle Yager?"

In addition to being a folklorist, Buel was also proficient in medicine and worked part-time as a physician in the town.

This was the home of Sauron, and Buel lived here at the invitation of his father when he traveled to the town of Yanan.

In the afternoon, someone came to inform him that Uncle Jager from the west end of the town had suddenly collapsed to the ground unconscious, and that Buel had gone to see a doctor.

"I'm not sure what kind of illness he has, it's just that his body is too weak, I'll give him a pair of tonic herbs, and I'll go over tomorrow morning."

Buel took off his cane and coat to Zoro, casually came to the desk, sat down in a chair and rubbed his temples.

He looked at the table, saw the footprint, and gave him a strange look.

"Zoro, what are you doing on the table? Be careful, take some time to go out and see if you want to see outside, and don't accidentally fall. ”

"yes, I see." Zoro nodded hurriedly, not revealing what had happened before.

This cheap teacher is just an ordinary person, and it is difficult to help him much.

On top of that, the newcomer has not yet trusted anyone.

The book that had been on the table was gone.

It was melted into his mind out of thin air.

Buel obviously didn't care about this, and after a few casual words with Zoro, he went back to the second floor to rest.

After he left, Zoro looked at the blood moon outside, his brow furrowed.

There is no mobile phone, no WIFI, no network, no computer, no notebook......

Nothing, he couldn't live a day before this kind of day.

is also facing death threats, what a cheat!

Mom, it's too dangerous here, I want to go back to Earth!

……

……

Nothing was said all night.

Sauron tossed and turned, so nervous that he couldn't sleep, but there was no danger to come to the door again.

Early the next morning, with a pair of panda eyes, he followed Buel to Uncle Jager's house.

"Zoro, you don't have to follow if you don't sleep well at night."

Buel looked at him a little strangely, not understanding why he had to follow, he had always rejected these things before.

"Uncle Jager used to take care of me, but this time he is sick, and I will go and see him no matter what." Sauron replied with a pretense of sorrow.

The other party had no suspicions, and led him through the town to the place where the patient was.

The town of Yanan is quite remote, and the main transportation is based on horse-drawn carriages, and not even a steam locomotive can be found.

The town lives in almost isolation, and the nearest city is Prussia, which is hundreds of kilometers away.

Further west are the vast mountains and forests.

There are many prey in it, so many people work part-time hunters in addition to farming, relying on hunting to subsidize their families.

After coming to Uncle Yager's house, he could see the middle-aged man lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

When Zoro saw the other party, his heart shook violently.

After only three days of not seeing him, this strong man was actually emaciated to the point of skin and bones.

The eye sockets are deeply sunken, and the whole person looks like he is dozens of years old.

This is absolutely not normal!

He couldn't help but think of his own abnormal death, which was why he had to come with him.

"There were no external injuries, only two small red dots on the neck that looked like insect bites, no fever, and a little fast pulse, which was considered excessive anemia."

Buel turned to the woman standing aside and asked, "Is he really not bleeding profusely?" ”

"No, he's been staying at home for the past two days and hasn't been anywhere." The woman lowered her head and became more and more sad, and couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, and there was a feeling that the sky was falling.

Buel pondered for a while, feeling extremely puzzled: "This is strange, under normal circumstances, anemia is not so serious, it is obviously anemia caused by excessive blood loss......"

At the same time, Zoro suddenly stared at the two small red dots on the other party's neck.

bite marks on the neck, excessive blood loss......

These two pieces of information clearly point to a fantasy creature -

Bloodsucker!

Not only was Uncle Yager in front of him patronized, but even he was sucked dry of blood and died.

The previous feeling of weakness and weakness, paleness, cold hands and feet, dizziness and many other feelings is clearly a characteristic of excessive blood loss!

Zoro reached out and touched his neck, easily touching two small bumps.

It's no different from the one around Uncle Jager's neck.

It's not a mosquito bite, it's a vampire's fangs!

This man is hopeless!

"I can't find out what the cause is for the time being, and I can't do anything about it." Buel sighed and whispered to the woman behind him.

This disease is extremely strange, there is no heavy bleeding but it is so excessively anemic.

The woman finally couldn't hold back any longer, and sobbed in a low voice: "Mr. Buel, please treat him well." What if something goes wrong with him and we are left behind! ”

The man made the pillar of their family, and once something happened to the other party, she didn't know how to live next.

"It's so sleepy......"

At this time, Zoro saw Uncle Accord open his eyes.

Little by little, the light in the eyes dissipated.

The breathing is getting slower and the heartbeat is getting slower and slower......

Eventually, all life stopped.

He's dead.

At the same time, Sauron hesitated again and again, and finally used his natural ability-

Devour the soul!

"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person who wants to live, I hope you can help me!"

This was a dead person, and the fact that he didn't see the other party's soul made him feel no guilt about killing.

After activating the ability, a little gray-white light ball emerged from the opponent's body, quietly blending into his eyebrows.

The dark red book trembled, and the eyesockets of the grimace above bloomed with blood-colored light, engulfing all the gray-white light.

"Drain 5 Soul Origins!"

Whoa!

The pages of the book turned, the first page was turned, and the second page was turned.

Lines of handwriting appear on itβ€”

"Unlock the Primordial Demon Bloodline and open the Demon Bloodline Evolution Tree!"

"Random Pick Ability!"
