Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Howling Demon
When he received Yelena's report on the reserves, Xiang Yu was already on his way to the city.
After clearing out the farmland, the reclamation team planted the wheat and corn seeds found on the farm, but before the wheat and corn were harvested, Xiang Yu had to ensure the basic food of the population under his command, so the position of logistics minister had to be done well in a short period of time!
Seeing a building appear, Xiang Yu quickly looked for a store, then went in to search, and when he saw something useful, he put it in the storage space, and then went out to continue the search.
Searching and searching, soon time passed, and the storage space was quickly half full, during which he also encountered several waves of hell demon dogs, all of which contributed everything to Xiang Yu without exception: limbs were cut off as meat, and others were turned into energy and absorbed by Xiang Yu.
At this time, Xiang Yu came to a street square, there was a large shopping mall on the side of the square, and all kinds of advertisements on the walls of several floors looked old and dull under the baptism of time, and spider silk was implicated. The glass walls on the lower floor, facing the plaza, are broken, and you can easily see the messy goods on the overturned shelves inside. Several fried chicken shops, coffee shops, and handicraft shops, Xiang Yu searched roughly, but found nothing to eat except for the dust in the house.
Walking into the gate of the mall, the place is messy, and from time to time you can still see patches of dark red traces, and occasionally a few gray-white bones. The sound of footsteps sounded in the dead space, although the scene was very terrifying, but Xiang Yu's heart was unmoved, slowly searching for everything. Suddenly, there was a cold, sticky touch from the thought that stretched to the fourth floor, and then it disappeared in a flash.
After a cold shudder, Xiang Yu's heart was filled with nausea, what is it? Standing still and scanning the place just now with his mind, he didn't find anything abnormal, but Xiang Yu knew that there must be something on it, but it was beyond the scope of his own mind exploration. The idea scan, which can reach a distance of three hundred meters in an open place, greatly shortens the detection distance in the case of obstacles, so Xiang Yu was unable to find anything.
Gathering his mind and quickly going up the stairs, Xiang Yu wanted to see what the hell was going on.
Soon came to the fourth floor, leaning against the wall Xiang Yu quietly poked his head out, the corridor looked ghostly under the light leaking from the dusty glass curtain roof, and the glass doors on both sides reflected the strange light, reflecting on the various modeling models still placed in the shop, like a ghost coming to life.
Waited quietly for a moment, the surroundings were still silent, exhaled softly, and when he was about to move, the strange scene in front of him made Xiang Yu stunned for a moment, but the breath he exhaled actually formed a small piece of white mist, and then his skin began to glow with a coldness, as if he had suddenly entered an air-conditioned room.
Before Xiang Yu could figure out the situation, a sharp change occurred! A sharp howl exploded in his mind!
Yes!
A sharp pain quickly rose in his head, like a wooden stick full of steel needles stirring desperately in his head! His eyes also fell into a blur and he couldn't see the scene clearly, Xiang Yu fell to the ground with a snap, his hands subconsciously held his head in severe pain, his body curled up into a ball on the ground like a shrimp, and the green tendons on his distorted face wriggled like earthworms.
At this time, a gray-white humanoid mist quietly appeared in mid-air not far away, and two black holes looming in the head and eyes were staring at the prey that had fallen to the ground, and their cold and ruthless thoughts were full of greed.
The humanoid mist did not immediately pounce forward, but slyly and cautiously struck another spiritual shock at the prey that was gradually moving on the ground, and then the mist began to flutter. A moment later, looking at the prey that had not moved, the humanoid mist screamed and quickly floated towards the prey.
The mist rolled and quickly covered Xiang Yu's whole body, Xiang Yu instantly felt a cold and slippery nausea again, and secretly cursed shit, so that Xiang Yu couldn't wait any longer, and immediately started to absorb, and the mist quickly disappeared into Xiang Yu's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The mist churned silently, gradually shrinking into a ball, but it couldn't leave Xiang Yu's body, and on the spiritual level, the mist screamed continuously, constantly impacting Xiang Yu's spirit, but unfortunately under the protection of Black Crystal, it was useless, and the impact quickly decreased until it disappeared.
The Howling Demon who dominated one side certainly didn't expect that one day he would return to the arms of the Lord of the Undead in such a way.
Although he had already absorbed the humanoid mist, Xiang Yu couldn't help but shudder at the thought of that disgusting feeling.
From the knowledge in his mind, Xiang Yu knew some information about this kind of thing.
The Howling Demon, also known as the Soul Sucking Demon, is ranked in the middle and lower ranks among the undead creatures, and its strength is medium. The hunting method is very weird, and the mental impact of the howl directly attacks the brain of the prey, and if there is no magical protection such as psychic protection, even those with a strong spirit will be hit. In order to destroy the formless Howling Demon, it is necessary for a Holy See cleric equivalent to the Great Magic level to use the Holy Purification Technique to successfully dispel it.
The prey attacked by the Howling Demon ends up being a terrifying corpse, because all the life force and soul are absorbed by it.
No one knows how they appeared, but depending on where they appeared, it is known that howling demons mostly prefer to appear in places with a strong sense of death, although occasionally in other places.
It would be a nightmare if someone summoned them in the town, and under the howling of greed, the creatures of this place would soon be devoured, leaving only a terrible corpse to die.
Xiang Yu checked the energy reticle of the black crystal, and the original stock of only twenty squares instantly increased by two squares! Xiang Yu knew that it was impossible for an ordinary howling demon to have so much energy, and he didn't know how many human life forces and souls this howling demon had absorbed to accumulate so much energy.
Secretly said in his heart, if there is no black crystal, I am afraid that I can only become a dry corpse! sat up and released a calming magic to himself, calming the aching head, although when the mutation occurred, black crystal activated the defense, but the impact in front of Xiang Yu had already been forced to withstand it, and fortunately, his spirit was strengthened by black crystal, otherwise he would directly become an idiot.
After meditating for a while, the aching head regained its calm under the effect of the Tranquility Technique. Unleashed another psychic guard on himself, before he got up and began to continue searching the fourth floor.
The fourth floor is a variety of brand clothing stores, under the cautious use of the idea of scanning, the entire floor went around, and no more howling demons were found, Xiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, regretted that he could not continue to pick up energy in vain, and relieved that he no longer had to feel the cold and slippery nausea.
Xiang Yu didn't go up one floor, looking at the introduction sign at the staircase, the upper floor is also the last floor of the mall, all of which are entertainment-related items, and food is sold on the second floor.
Continue downstairs, cautiously glance around, while looking at the various foods on the shelves, pick up the vacuum-packed ones and put them in the storage space. Xiang Yu hoped to find a lot of canned food—simple and crude food, but it was the best thing right now.
The entire floor was searched, and only a small part of the space was filled with what could be eaten, and there were only about three hundred canned food, which was far from enough, so Xiang Yu went downstairs to look for it, checking where the storage of the mall was, maybe there were things he needed.
