Chapter 22 22. This is called decomposition, not eating
Lin Jun said that we should look carefully for suitable acceleration skills on this floor.
But what he was looking for was a monster that could provide fixed skills stably. This time he sent out the scout Puji to check out the situation in the Werewolf Forest.
I didn't expect that before I met the jackal, I saw this first—
A dead human.
To be more precise, it was a human mage who had just died and whose blood had not yet coagulated.
Although Lin Jun couldn't see the dead person's panel, the standard mage attire was still easy to recognize.
He was obviously seriously injured and escaped from the forest, leaving a long trail of blood behind him.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jiang collapsed on the spot due to excessive blood loss as soon as he ran out. When Lin Jun found him, he was no longer breathing.
Human adventurers usually act in teams, but judging from his condition, they might have been separated or all of them were killed in there.
The lives of these low-level adventurers are also difficult. They risk their lives just to make a living.
According to Inanna, there is such a thing as resurrection in this world.
But this so-called resurrection seemed almost like summoning the dead to Lin Jun's eyes.
First, use various methods to perfectly repair the body, then pay a large amount of rare resources that would make a country feel painful, and finally, go through a ceremony to call the hero's soul back into the body to complete the resurrection.
Under normal circumstances, no one would organize a resurrection ceremony, and resurrection has not happened for more than a hundred years.
Most people might even think that it was just a legend, and only Inanna, who had the support of her father the Duke, could know much.
Just from such a simple explanation, it can be seen that this thing has nothing to do with ordinary adventurers, and even has nothing to do with those nobles. Only true legendary beings have the opportunity to experience it.
In general, unlike some games and animations in the previous life that treated death as a joke, in this world, death means real death.
He briefly looked through the bag of this unfortunate wizard.
A small metal plate with the wizard's portrait and other information printed on it, an ID card?
A booklet filled with unreadable notes, a half-empty bottle of yellow potion, and the rest were a few coins and some collected plants.
Together with the staff inlaid with C-grade magic crystal in his hand, it is the entire legacy of this wizard.
The robe he was wearing should also be a good thing, but half of it had been burned, and the remaining part was so tattered that it was barely any different from a strip of cloth, and was obviously worthless.
There was a rustling sound in the forest, and several hunchbacked gnolls walked out holding wooden bows or swords and shields.
Especially the sword and shield that were stained with blood but were obviously well-maintained. They were obviously inconsistent with the rubbish clothes of the werewolf.
I'm afraid it's the equipment that was just taken from the corpse of the mage's companion.
So it wasn't that it escaped successfully, but that the werewolf deliberately allowed the seriously injured prey to use up the last bit of its resistance while escaping?
His IQ is really not low.
The jackals also noticed the scout Puji next to the corpse, looked at each other, and laughed in a very human way.
The gnoll with the sword and shield put away his sword and shield and walked over.
It seemed that he didn't want to deal with Puji cleanly, but planned to play with him for a while.
The gnoll grinned and stretched out his bloody claws towards Puji, but he failed to touch it - its entire claw had disappeared.
“Gaaaaaa——”
The howl of pain did not last long, as another mushroom cannon blew the head of this best-equipped werewolf into pieces.
The three gnolls behind were so frightened that they quickly clenched their weapons and looked in the direction of the attack.
They are seven strange Pujis that I have never seen before!
Seeing that the Pujis had launched another attack, the jackals hid behind big trees and fought back with wooden bows.
As soon as the wizard's body was discovered, Lin Jun called Puji over to move it, but he didn't expect that he would have to fight with these gnolls.
That's fine, it's a good opportunity to try out the power of the new Puji.
The two Pujis huddled together and rolled quickly towards the forest, where they soon found the gnoll hiding.
[Self-destruction LV3]
With a loud bang, two gnolls with missing arms and legs were blown out.
The last werewolf who hid the farthest was so scared when he saw this scene that he dropped his weapon and fled into the forest. Lin Jun was too lazy to chase him.
Lin Jun was quite satisfied with the results of the new self-destructive Puji.
Self-destruction is a self-sacrificing skill that kills oneself first before killing the enemy. Even if it is only level 3, its power is quite good.
What's even more rare is that he can cooperate with the rolling charge. The previous self-destruction required the use of magic power to overload the magic crystal, which could not be completed under the circumstances of a charge.
Now it has been changed to skill self-destruction, which is much simpler to operate.
The two jackals that were blown up were seriously injured but did not die on the spot. They were now lying on the ground, howling in the direction of the Pujis.
What do you mean? Begging for mercy?
What would it matter if I could survive with this broken body?
The gnolls don't look like a race that would care for the elderly, the weak and the sick, so they won't have a good ending if they go back like this.
Lin Jun was kindhearted and could not bear to see such a tragic scene, so he killed them immediately.
Then the Pujis packed up the items and corpses and moved them to the swamp area.

[Seven Sins of Greed Trigger]
[Plundering Skills: Precision LV4→LV5]
[Plundering Skills: Archery Mastery LV1]
[Plundering Skill: Wind Magic LV1]
[Plundering Skill: Human Common Language LV1]
The first two came from the werewolf, and the last two came from the wizard.
Although I didn't find the acceleration skill, I still gained something.
Archery is useless to Lin Jun. Accuracy is much more practical and can be used in conjunction with the mushroom cannon.
Wind magic looks good, but I still lack a skill called magic control. Without it, I can't finely control the magic to form spells, so this skill can only be put aside for the time being.
What surprised Lin Jun the most was that language could actually be acquired in this way! ?
This is a pleasant surprise.
However, I have never seen this human common language skill on other adventurers' panels, but I saw the ancient elven language LV2 on Inanna.
Is the native language not displayed?
Speaking of which, gnolls should also have the ability to communicate, so why don’t they have language?
Is it because I didn’t draw it or is it because the language system is not complete so it doesn’t count as a skill?
I can’t figure it out, but at least I should be able to understand human writing now.
Lin Jun excitedly took out the booklet and immediately experienced what it was like to be illiterate.
I can only recognize two or three words in a long string...
I still don’t understand this!
You don't have to reach LV10 to fully understand all the texts, right?
You should know that your highest skill level is only LV7.
Forget it, it’s all unexpected gains anyway. Maybe the dungeon will be full by picking up corpses. There’s no need to rush.
I haven’t even completed my goal of finding the acceleration skill, so I’ll go to the other end tomorrow to have a look.
