The Dark King - Chapter 217

Chapter 217

He continued to hit the stones for several times to test that the snake tailed crocodile was dead . Dudian carefully approached it . He wielded the dagger and stabbed its eye . Puff! The dagger pierced the cuticle and the took out its eye . The was no response from the snake tailed crocodile . It was dead for good .

"I didn't expect that I would be able to kill a level nineteen monster . . . " Dudian felt that his body was stiff and tired but his heart was full of excitement . Even an experienced veteran intermediate hunter wouldn't be able to hunt a level 19 monster alone on his own . It was a level which required a senior hunter to act but he was able to do it!

"Mercury! It works!"

Dudian smiled . The human's were weaker than the rules but they were the species that ruled on this planet . The main reason was that humans would rely on their brains to compete with the beasts instead of relying on brute force . Wisdom is the most dangerous weapon held by a human .

He rested for a moment, then boldy went forward to cut the monster . He used to dagger to slice off its mouth apart . He wasn't experienced with the snake tailed crocodile's anatomy so he went with general knowledge . At the beginning the process was slow but as he gradually mastered the texture of crocodile's body the cutting spead significantly increased .

It didn't take long for Dudian to open up snake tailed crocodile's body . Gastric acids, flesh and bones of its previous preys in addition to horned lizard rushed out of its stomach . All of them were stained with gastric acid . Moreover the smell of stench gushed out .

Dudian endured the pungent smell as he completely cut it off . The hardest part was the scales on the monster's back . He wiped the blood on weeds and folded them into his luggage . Moreover he took its claws . They were the excellent material that could be used to produce weapons . They could be even used in production of arrows .

Dudian didn't collect anything from the horned lizard that was chewed by the snake tailed crocodile . Although there were few valuable parts that could be sold to factions in the dark church . However the prices would be very low . His luggage space was limited so he picked only the most valuable parts .

"Its very hard to make money inside the giant wall . You have to be a bit smart and mostly suck up to customers . However, its very easy to make it outside the giant wall . The hunters would be lazy to pick up the gold coins(he refers to cold crystals) that is infront of them . But in this case (outside the giant wall) the risk is too much as you could lose your life . " Dudian put the luggage on his back and looked at the corpse of the snake tailed crocodile . He sighed and shook his head . He recovered the iron arrows . The problem was that the tips of some of the arrows had gone blunt . He would be able to use them to hunt level 8 or lower monsters as they won't be effective against higher level monsters .

Dudian knew that they have rented this passage so he would be able to come out any time he wanted . Hunters of other consortiums were very reluctant to come out . Most of the time consortium would put tasks for them to make sure that they implement them . However he was ready to come out any time .

"Oh?" Dudian's brows wrinkled as he was about to move forward . He sense the smell of an undead . Actually there were three other smells that he detected . It seems they were mutated skeletons .

Dudian's face change . He knew that the bloody smell exuding from the body of the snake tailed crocodile had attracted this monsters over .

"They are too far away for now . An ordinary undead wouldn't be so sensitive to the smell of blood . The beasts that are coming over should be mutated skeletons!" Dudian felt the smells of the fast approaching monsters . He looked back at the gunpowder box . They along should be enough to kill up to two or three mutated skeletons . However, he knew that if he used it against the snake tailed crocodile at best he would seriously injure them .

Dudian quickly brainstormed . He put away bow, arrows and dagger . He hid the luggage inside the nearby grass . The scales and skin of the snake tailed crocodile had stains of blood . It would expose his location .

Moreover, he wiped clean the blood from dagger using the weeds . Afterwards he turned around and fled to a distant location .

After a few minutes the surrounding grass rustled . The mutated skeleton which had four long legs came out form the bushes and went towards the corpse of the snake tailed crocodile . The rich blood smell had stimulated its brain and instincts . It roared in excitement and began to bit the body of the snake tailed crocodile .

As it was eating the body of the monster, three mutated skeletons appeared from different direction .

However, the moment these three began to close on corpse of the snake tailed crocodile they sensed the existence of each other . They roared and began to attack each other .

Dudian was stunned as he was lying on top of a moss covered rock and looking at the scene . The four mutated skeleton's began to attack each other in crazy manner . They tried to bit each other . Additionally they would use their scythed arms to attack . Soon one of the mutated skeleton's was able to cut the head of the second one . It grabbed its head and was about to eat it when the other one attacked and killed it .

There was only one mutated skeleton surviving after four of them battled . It held the heads of the three others and began to bite them . It ate the flesh on the skulls, eyes, ears and other bite . Moreover, after finishing it cracked the skull and began to swallow intracranial tissues .

Dudian was scared at sight . : "Do they kill each other?"

No wonder there weren't much mutated skeletons . They were each other's prey!

"They eat each other . . . " Dudian's face turned ugly . He could understand why there were so little number of mutated skeletons and why they were distributed so sparsely .

None of them went to eat the snake tailed crocodile after they were aware of the existence of other mutated skeletons . "Are they cannibals by nature?"

He was surprised but still dazed in a sense as he was speculating about the sitution . He recovered when he heard a roar . The remaining mutated skeleton had eating the heads and bodies of the other mutated skeletons . It's mouth was open wide as it was roaring .

However what shocked and stunned Dudian was that it was evolving right in front of his eyes . Its mouth sprout of for several inches as its teeth got sharp . The bones were growing at eye sight . It was simply an incredible show . It addition to its body size the scythes it had on both arms got bigger .

What kind of a digestion system it had? Moreover how could it absord the essence(cold crystals) of others at such a visible speed?
