Then, Wang Jue opened the Skill Book and tapped to use it.
[Skill Book: Great Devour Technique]
[A Special Talent Skill Book. After using it, the user can obtain the Devour Talent. It can devour a target and obtain one of the target's abilities.]
Holy sh*t!
Such thing actually exists!
Wang Jue suppressed the excitement in his heart and instantly decided that he had to use this on himself!
This was a growth talent. Unlimited devouring, unlimited evolution!
"Use!"
With a thought from Wang Jue, the scroll in his hand emitted a black glow as it broke free from his hand and flew in front of him.
It transformed into two balls of black dust that landed on the ground before turning into two hexagram formations with peculiar runes.
In each array, a singular point of distorted space appeared. This singular point gradually expanded and enveloped Wang Jue, turning into a cluster of black light.
It looked like a cluster of giant black eggs.
In the next moment, the black light squirmed and transformed like smoke.
Eventually, it dissipated.
The tall and strong Wang Jue walked out.
Wang Jue stretched his neck. There were no changes in his physical qualities, but he could clearly feel that as long as he willed it, he could use the Devour Technique.
However, he could not devour monsters stronger than himself.
But it was not absolute either. He could still do so if the other party was willing to be devoured by him and do not put up any resistance.
"You seem to have undergone a special change, my Lord."
Elder Jian, who was extremely sensitive to auras, came before Wang Jue.
He sensed something extremely ancient and terrifying in Wang Jue's body.
Wang Jue smiled and didn't explain. He merely said calmly,
"Elder Jian is sharp. I indeed obtained something."
And he stopped explaining after that, Elder Jian didn't continue probing either.
Everyone had their own secrets. Besides, Wang Jue was their current Overlord. It was fine as long as it was something good.
Elder Jian did not press further.
Finally, there was a portion of food and a small jar of wine.
However, the quality of these two items was very high.
They were superior quality items.
[Exquisite Barbecue Feast]
[Effect: Recovers of 100 Satiety Points, Attack Damage +10%, Health Points Limit +10%, Movement Speed +20%, Lasts 15minutes.]
[Mellow Green Fruit Wine]
[Effect: Attack Damage +30%, Defense -10%, Movement Speed -10%, Health Points Limit +20%, Lasts 30 minutes.]
Wang Jue finished checking all of the rewards. This was indeed a Bronze Treasure Chest. These were massive gains!
Wang Jue's strength increased once again, and his combat team expanded significantly.
"Alright, let's explore the temple now!"
Wang Jue was in a good mood.
He pointed towards the temple.
The two Wolf Cavalrymen led the way for him.
Wang Jue followed behind them and entered the temple through the entrance.
The main structure of the temple was damaged.
This place seemed to have been attacked.
The surroundings were a little dark.
Inside, thick marble pillars lined the sides.
There were many carvings on the walls.
In the middle was a wide aisle.
There were iron candlesticks on both sides.
The candles in them had yet to finish burning.
The most horrifying thing was that there was a stone coffin at the end of the aisle.
There were many images of demons being beheaded carved on it.
In addition, there were about a dozen dried corpses leaning against the marble pillars.
These dried corpses were still dressed in what they were wearing before their death.
Some were wearing leather armor and carried daggers.
And some were wearing wide priest robes.
The armor and weapons of these dried corpses had already rotted, but it seemed like they could still be recycled.
Wang Jue was about to go forward and pick up the weapons.
Just as he was focusing, a golden hint appeared.
[Be careful, don't touch the corpses.]
As soon as the hint appeared, the dried corpses suddenly started trembling.
System names began to appear above their heads.
[Resentful Dead LV 8]
[Resentful Dead LV 6]
[Resentful Dead LV 9]
…
At this moment, the dozen dried corpses were revived!
They raised their weapons and staggered towards Wang Jue and the others.
Wang Jue was shocked at first.
He took two steps back.
But he recovered quickly.
The single-handed sword in his hand swung forward.
"Kill!"
The two Wolf Cavalrymen and Carl charged forward without hesitation.
Even Wang Jue himself held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other as he faced a dried corpse with a dagger!
It was unknown how long these dried corpses had been dead for.
They looked horrifying.
However, although Wang Jue felt slightly uncomfortable, as an Overlord, he had to take the lead.
These Dead move slowly.
Wang Jue took the lead and quickly arrived in front of a dried corpse holding a short sword. He lifted the sharp Sword of Winter.
Wang Jue's physical attributes also improved with each passing day. In addition, he had previously studied a few Skill Books on swordplay.
In the blink of an eye, he slashed twice.
He struck the leather armor of the Dead.
Two sword marks instantly appeared.
However, the dried corpse did not feel any pain and continued attacking Wang Jue.
Holy sh*t!
Even though the leather armor on the Dead's body was tattered, its defensive capabilities were truly formidable.
With a thought, Wang Jue slashed at its head.
It was instantly decapitated.
The moment its head separated from the body, the dried corpse laid down motionless. It was deader than dead.
"Behead them, the head is their weakness!"
Wang Jue said.
[Your subordinate, the Wolf Cavalrymen, has killed the LV 9 Resentful Dead. You will receive half of the EXP.]
[[Your subordinate, the Wolf Cavalrymen, has killed the LV 6 Resentful Dead. You will receive half of the EXP.]
[[Your subordinate, the Wolf Cavalrymen, has killed the LV 8 Resentful Dead. You will receive half of the EXP.]
…
[Received 700 EXP]
[Received 500 EXP]
[Received 700 EXP]
…
The Wolf Cavalrymen went one after another and completed the first kill.
After Wang Jue revealed their weaknesses.
The two Wolf Cavalrymen handled the dried corpses with ease.
Coupled with the giant wolves' bites, they could easily eliminate a Dead.
Wang Jue gripped the hilt of his sword and prepared to continue killing the dried corpses.
Suddenly, a green light flashed under his feet.
The stone floor beneath him was directly pushed open.
Then, a thorny vine covered in thorns grew out from below and instantly wrapped around Wang Jue's calf.
It bound him in place.
At the same time, the thorns were constantly trying to stab into Wang Jue's calf.
Fortunately, the defensive capabilities of Wang Jue's armor were extraordinary.
"D*mn it!"
Wang Jue lifted his sword and was about to slice off the vines under his feet when Quina's anxious shout came from nearby.
"Overlord, be careful!"
