Chapter 440: Absorption
The difference in strength between these five kobolds Herag didn't feel it obviously, because the difference in strength was too big, and they were all directly slashed.
A gust of wind blew, carrying the bloody breath of the place into the distance.
Herag put away the mace and other weapons that could still be used on the ground.
I haven't figured out the situation here yet, so everything that can be used has to be put away.
After Herag gathered his weapon, he quickly left the place.
He went to the place where Tessa died, checked it, and found that it was indeed completely dead, and there was no chance of saving it.
If it's a necromancer, you might be able to awaken Tessa's soul and ask about something.
But Khrag had no such means and had no choice but to give up.
He fumbled around Tessa's corpse for a while, and it was strange how the spatial ring didn't exist.
Judging from the various injuries on the corpse, it is obvious that they have been attacked several times, because many of the injuries have different degrees of recovery, indicating that the chronological order is different.
Most of these kobolds just picked up a leak, and when they met Tessa, Tessa was actually close to running out of oil.
A first-level crystallization wizard was actually smashed in the back of his head by a kobold with a stick and died.
Herag couldn't help but feel a little sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, maybe he would be next.
He glanced in the direction Tessa had come from, and he could already see some forest areas.
The border of the Gobi Desert is also near here, and you should be able to meet other intelligent creatures before that.
Since Tessa came from that side, it means that she must have encountered danger over there.
Herag thought about it, but decided to go and investigate.
Because there is no point in going backwards, going backwards is just walking into a desert area, where the probability of finding valuable clues is too low.
Although the risk is higher, if you can come into contact with intelligent creatures, there will be many more valuable clues.
When Herag figured it out, he got up and prepared to leave.
He suddenly stopped, looked back at Tessa's body, and stretched out his hand to gather a fireball to cremate Tessa's body.
Tessa herself has no grudges against him, they are all people from the wizarding plane, and they can be regarded as giving her the most basic dignity so that she will not become food for other creatures.
After a few fireball spells, Tessa's body has been completely incinerated.
When Herag had done this, he mustered up his spirits and began to proceed cautiously.
The vegetation in the vicinity grew denser, and Herag even found a meandering stream hidden in the grass.
He groped his way in the direction Tessa had come from, and it didn't take long for him to find a cave.
The location of this cave is extremely secluded, it is a cave located underground, and the entrance is a slope near which dense bushes grow.
It would have been difficult for Herag to notice the cave if he hadn't been sounded by the environment.
He saw some footprints at the entrance to the cave, and from the footprints they were those of the kobolds.
Through environmental detection, Herag also noticed that there was also a kobold in the cave, lying on the ground and sleeping.
There are many debris piled up in the cave, there are bones of various animals, as well as human bones.
"Shadow corners."
Herag's massive body turned into a dark shadow, shrunk on the ground and moved quickly, silently approaching the sleeping kobold.
The black shadow went all the way to the front and back of the kobold, and Herag jumped up from the black shadow, holding the long knife in both hands, and directly slashed down.
The kobold was completely unaware of it, and the corpse separated in his sleep.
The kobold didn't even feel any pain, and he was already dead.
A wisp of black gas floated out of the kobold's corpse, and when Herag saw it, he hurriedly used his natural ability demonic power to absorb it into his body.
After the demonic aura entered the body, it was directly immersed around the body.
Herag closed his eyes, carefully feeling the changes that the demonic aura had brought to him.
I didn't feel much special, but I could feel a little bit that my body seemed to be strengthened.
"Deep Blue, what changes has this wisp of demonic aura brought to your body?" Khrag asked.
"Calculating ......"
"Demonic aura has increased by 0.1 strength, 0.1 agility, and 0.1 constitution."
"There's still a 0.1-point increase."
Herag didn't expect to be able to strengthen by 0.1 points, his physical strength is already very strong now.
It's a lot to have such an increase on the current basis.
Herag couldn't help but have more thoughts, if he could obtain such a demonic aura in large quantities, wouldn't it be possible to strengthen his physical body to an extremely high level.
He recalled the demonic aura he had just wasted, and suddenly felt a little distressed.
After absorbing the demonic aura, Herag wandered around the cave, ready to find out if there was anything valuable.
But after looking around, I didn't find anything valuable.
He wanted to find out if there were any words or something, but he didn't see anything at all.
Words represent civilization, and many things can be learned through words.
After having nothing else to gain in the cave, Herag left the place.
The surroundings have completely turned into a forest area, but the strange thing is that there are hardly any animals in sight, only a few small animals.
Normally, in such a large area of forest, there will definitely be no shortage of animals.
But in Herag's environmental range, not even a rabbit was seen, which was obviously unreasonable.
He immediately thought that the kobolds looked like they hadn't eaten in a long time.
Their caves were so close to the forest that there could be no shortage of food with their physical strength.
Herag thought again that Tessa had come from there, and that she was already wounded.
Taken together, there are definitely hidden dangers in the forest.
Herag cautiously walked into the forest, keeping an eye out for the feedback from environmental detections, and so far nothing unusual had been found.
After lurking in the forest for half an hour, he found a pile of dung.
After discovering the droppings, Herag became highly vigilant, indicating that he had entered the range of some kind of animal.
The black shadow he had transformed into lingered by the dung for a moment before quickly leaving, and it wasn't long before he heard a beast roar in the distance, and the sound was extremely loud.
Herag moved in the direction of the source of the sound, and soon saw what was roaring.
It was a small tiger-like animal, and it was larger than a normal tiger.
"Is this the thing controlling the nearby forest area?" Herag was a little unsure.
Judging from the size of this tiger, it seems that it is not very strong, and those kobolds should still have the strength to fight, so that they will not shrink to the border of the Gobi Desert and the forest to survive. (End of chapter)
