Chapter 170: The Undead Clan
“Woof woof!”
Another Skurg charged forward with a fierce glare.
Li ng swung a punch.
His massive fist struck the Skurg's jaw solidly.
With a "boom," the Skurg was sent flying.
It flew dozens of ters before slamming into a boulder.
As the Skurg hit the boulder, it crashed heavily to the ground.
At this mont, the Skurg's stats changed again.
[Skurg]
[Level: 54]
[Strength: 71]
[Defense: 83]
[Agility: 109]
[Magic: 71]
[Shapeshift: LV4]
“Using shrinking to disguise itself?”
Its enlarged form must be the Skurg's true strength.
At this mont, the Skurgs stood up again.
“Hey, little guys, follow , and I’ll make sure you live the good life!”
Li ng grinned and called out to the Skurgs.
The Skurgs barked in excitent.
“Food, food, food, I want food!”
One Skurg bounced over happily.
Like a puppy, it ran up to Li ng, hopping and jumping around him.
Its long tongue flopped around, drooling everywhere.
Another Skurg craved freedom.
It turned and bounced away toward the distance.
But at the end of the road to freedom lay "death."
Li ng flicked his wrist, quickly forming a stone bullet.
With a “whoosh,” the stone shot out.
The dozens of ters distance was covered in an instant.
“Pfft!”
Blood splattered as the stone pierced through the Skurg's round body.
The wounded Skurg's body rolled along the ground.
It rolled for dozens of ters before finally stopping.
Watching the Skurg running circles around him, Li ng smiled faintly.
He pulled a small dried fish from the food pouch at his waist and tossed it to the Skurg.
The Skurg opened its giant mouth and caught the dried fish.
“Woof woof!”
Just after swallowing the fish, the Skurg's face turned fierce.
It turned and barked aggressively at the approaching Vanessa.
“Stop barking, we’re on the sa side!”
Li ng grinned, patting the Skurg's round body.
The Skurg turned back and rubbed against Li ng affectionately.
“Wangwang, shrink down!”
Just like that, the Skurg received a new na.
It seed to understand Li ng's words.
Its body deflated like a balloon.
With a series of "crackling" sounds, its massive form shrank to half a ter.
Looking at the now-small Skurg beside him, Li ng grinned again.
Then he turned and walked toward the stone where the other Skurg had landed.
Reaching the corpse, Li ng crouched down and began to eat.
This scene made Vanessa frown slightly.
If possible, she hoped her Ammon wouldn't be as savage as the Goblins.
[Devour skill activated. Acquired "Shapeshift" skill.]
“Pah!”
Spitting out the flesh in his mouth, Li ng stood up.
He wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth with his hand.
“Vanessa, let’s go!”
After finishing, Li ng acted like nothing had happened.
He called Vanessa and continued forward.
And so, the two-person team in the valley beca a trio.
Although Skurg wasn't a "person."
At least Li ng and Vanessa could still be called "people."
After all, "people" referred to all intelligent races.
Even Goblins were a type of sub-human species.
“Wangwang, have you seen a really big Ogre?”
The Skurg beside Li ng barked in response.
“Where did it go?”
“Woof woof!”
The Skurg darted off toward the mountain.
“Vanessa, let’s go. Follow it!”
Follow the Skurg?
Vanessa glanced at Ammon and then at the Skurg.
She smiled, her tall and slender figure moving gracefully as she began running.
About half an hour later, the two followed the Skurg to the top of a mountain.
“Woof woof!”
The Skurg barked in a certain direction.
As it barked, it bared its teeth and growled.
“What... is that?”
From the mountaintop, the two looked uneasily toward the northern sky.
In that direction hung an unusually low, dark cloud.
The thick clouds shrouded the land in darkness.
Even the mountains had turned black.
From the clouds, Li ng could feel an icy, bone-chilling aura.
It felt like sothing was pulling at his soul.
“Ammon, that’s a Death Cloud!”
Vanessa’s face grew solemn as she stared at the distant sky.
“Vanessa, that’s not a natural phenonon, is it?”
Vanessa nodded, worry flickering in her eyes.
“It’s a dark magic cast by the Undead Clan!”
The Undead Clan?
Li ng's face revealed a thoughtful expression as he murmured internally.
Could it be the undead, like those in fantasy novels?
Vanessa turned to look at Ammon, who was gazing at the distant sky.
“Ammon, to release a Death Cloud of this scale, the other side must be a Deathspeaker Archmage from the Undead Clan!”
“Are they strong?”
Li ng looked back at Vanessa.
Vanessa’s expression grew more serious as she nodded.
“They’re very strong—equivalent to the Saints of all races!”
Saint-level powerhouses?
Hearing this, Li ng frowned deeply.
He turned again, staring at the distant sky.
If it really was a Saint-level powerhouse, it wouldn't be easy to handle.
But Benben might be in those mountains shrouded by dark clouds.
Perhaps Benben had already...
“Huff!”
Taking a deep breath, Li ng's eyes flashed with killing intent.
Benben was the monster he liked most in this world.
Li ng loved Benben’s carefree, silly nature.
He loved how Benben would call him "boss" in its gruff voice.
If Benben had really died at the hands of the Undead Clan...
He would make those undead taste death once more.
“Vanessa, stay here. I must go check it out!”
“Ammon, what exactly are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Benben, an Ogre underling of mine!”
Saying that, Li ng bolted down the mountain.
“Woof woof!” The Skurg barked and followed.
“Wangwang, it’s dangerous there. Stay here and wait for !”
“Woof woof!”
The Skurg barked again.
Li ng grinned, leaping into the air.
“Alright, then let’s go cause so trouble for the Undead Clan!”
The Skurg said it rembered the Ogre’s scent.
It could lead him to the Ogre.
“Ammon, I’m coming too!”
Vanessa on the mountaintop chased after Ammon.
“Vanessa, it’s fine. With my strength, I can leave if things get too dangerous.”
Vanessa’s face turned cold, and she shook her head.
“Ammon, I’m an archer. Even against a Deathspeaker Archmage, I have a chance for a lethal strike. The ergence of the Death Domain is both a disaster and a curse. If we don’t deal with the Undead Clan, the Goblin Forest will never know peace. Let’s tackle this together today.”
Seeing Vanessa’s resolute expression, Li ng laughed loudly.
“Alright, then let’s all go et the Undead Clan!”
With that, Li ng wrapped one arm around Vanessa’s waist.
With his other hand, he grabbed the Skurg’s teeth.
As he leaped down the mountain, the ground beneath him cracked with a "boom."
A shockwave exploded outward.
Li ng shot forward like an arrow, soaring for hundreds of ters before landing heavily in the valley below.
