Chapter 12: Spoils of War

"What's going on?" Zhang Xiaoman looked at the strange appearance in his palm, and there was a wave of doubt in his heart.

"Why did this pattern on my hand suddenly light up?" He put his hand in front of him again, wanting to see what was going on.

"Huh? Gone again?"

But just as he retracted his hand, the faint white light that had just appeared in the palm of his hand suddenly disappeared, and the seven-pointed star circle returned to its previous appearance.

"Strange ......" Zhang Xiaoman looked at his palm, and tentatively stretched out his hand.

At this moment, the light came back on.

"Could it be ......" Zhang Xiaoman's eyes froze, and he suddenly had a guess.

He slowly brought his hand closer to the ground, and as he moved, the light in the palm of his hand became brighter and brighter.

"The reason why this coat of arms on my hand shines ......" Zhang Xiaoman's heart began to flutter and jump, and there was a kind of excitement when the puzzle was about to be revealed.

"It must have something to do with this black bead on the ground!"

As he spoke, his hand reached for the bead, which radiated a pitch-black glow.

At this moment, the light of the seven-pointed star was incomparably dazzling.

"It seems that this extraction function, which I have been unable to figure out, is here."

Zhang Xiaoman thought excitedly, his eyes were full of energy.

He slowly approached the palm of his hand, and when he was about to attach the black bead, something happened abruptly.

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly felt a burning stinging pain coming from his palm, which made him quickly retract his hand in fright.

"This ...... What's going on? Why does it hurt so much? ”

He looked at the things on the ground with some disbelief, and a hint of retreat struck his mind.

"No, this black bead looks like it's related to the seven-pointed star in my hand, how can I give up at this time."

He gritted his teeth, determination in his eyes.

Stretched out his hand again, this time, Zhang Xiaoman directly ignored the pain coming from his palm, tilted his head over, and looked at the changes under his right hand without blinking.

I saw that on that black bead, countless thread-like energies surged towards the seven-pointed star array. These ripples of energy flowed rapidly with visible traces, and in just a few moments, the black beads shrank to the size of a ping-pong ball.

"This circle is absorbing it!"

When Zhang Xiaoman saw this scene, he already had a clear judgment on this extraction function in his heart.

"The meaning of extracting essence is to absorb the essence of monsters."

Seeing that the black master was completely absorbed by himself, Zhang Xiaoman had a smile on his face, and he began to summarize in his heart: "It seems that if I encounter the corpses of these monsters in the future, I can use the magic circle in my hand to absorb its essence!" ”

As the seven-pointed star circle dimmed again, Zhang Xiaoman's mind suddenly sounded a long-lost system prompt.

"Ding, absorb the essence of the shadow demon, and increase your points by 10 points."

"Points!" Zhang Xiaoman suddenly heard the system prompt, "It turns out that the so-called essence has become a point in the system mall after extraction!" ”

"It looks like I'm going to need a new orientation for this system in the future." Zhang Xiaoman picked up the small bottle on the ground and stood up, "I thought this was just a little Buddhist boy who lived by lottery, but I didn't expect it to hide such a murderous ability." ”

He shook his head and looked at the wall not far ahead, "It's just that I'm afraid I have something else to do now......"

There, behind the walls, there was still a faint glow.

Zhang Xiaoman pinched the vial of holy water that was less than a third left in his hand, raised his footsteps and slowly leaned towards the light source.

I don't know why, Zhang Xiaoman didn't have much fear in his heart at this time. On the contrary, he inexplicably had an extra sense of anticipation.

Maybe it's because he has just gone through the battle of life and death, or because he feels that there is no danger in this vicinity through the change of the environment, or maybe even the hidden spirit of adventure in his heart is at work, Zhang Xiaoman feels a little strange to himself at the moment, he can't believe that he can be so bold.

"I must be crazy...... Zhang Xiaoman said, already coming to the wall.

He leaned against the wall with one hand and slowly walked around.

Later, the source that emitted a faint light finally appeared in front of his eyes.

"It's ...... What ...... something" Zhang Xiaoman was secretly speechless, and a purple streamer was reflected in his eyes.

Behind the white wall, there was a large tombstone, and at this moment, in front of the tombstone, a distorted purple spot of light was suspended in the air.

The light spots floated quietly at a height of about one meter above the ground, and around it, purple streamers continued to surge, looking like lightning bolts, strange and beautiful.

It's just that what doesn't fit this beauty is that there is not a single sound around this spot of light, and the free streamer keeps beating, but it never emits the slightest movement.

Campbell also ran over, sniffed twice at the base of the wall, lifted the dog's leg, and squeezed out two drops of dog urine.

"Rustle."

Zhang Xiaoman heard the movement at his feet, looked down, and found that it was Jinbao, a dog, who was digging soil for the place where he had just peed, so he looked away again.

"What does this thing have to do with that Shadow Demon just now......

Zhang Xiaoman thought to himself, and moved forward.

"Huh?"

Just as he had just settled down, a burning sensation suddenly came from his hand again, Zhang Xiaoman hurriedly raised his hand to check, and saw that the seven-pointed star circle in his palm actually emitted light again, and this time the light was much brighter than before.

"Is this ...... Also a monster corpse? ”

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the purple light spot a few steps away in disbelief.

"Try it!"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, raised his right hand flat in front of him, aimed his palm at the ball of light, and slowly approached it with a slight movement of his footsteps.

With his movements, the seven-pointed star magic circle suddenly emitted a burst of even more dazzling white light, and Zhang Xiaoman only felt a hotter temperature coming from his palm than before, which caught him off guard and almost retracted his hand.

However, after Zhang Xiaoman came back to his senses, he did not have the idea of retreating, but his eyes revealed a trace of excitement, and his face showed a joy that could not be concealed.

"This seems to be a big guy!"

As he spoke, he raised one arm forward flat, and slowly walked towards the location of the spot of light as he moved his feet.

As the distance approached, the burning sensation in his palm became more and more intense.

"Ahh

Zhang Xiaoman's suppressed cry sounded in this quiet environment, and he felt that his right hand was now as if it was soaked in hot water, and the pain was unbearable.
