From the quest window, he realized that his blood energy had increased from zero to eight. He got a free blood energy by absorbing the dark energy from the earth while the other seven blood energy he got them from milking that Wood River dry. His strength had also increased to eight from zero, the same figure as his blood energy. He also got ten energy points from killing that level one Wood River.
While Lazy Wafula was still busy staring at his interface, he heard any growls of beasts coming their way. Fey Wesonga who was still deeply rooted in one place with his mouth agape was snapped from his stupor and hollered at Lazy Wafula, "Man, we should run now, that was a young Wood River, I think its parents are coming our way.
"Why should we run away. We came here to hunt down those beasts and we should do just that." Lazy Wafula said to him with determined eyes. He was adamant about staying. Those were Wood Rivers after all. If he absorbed much of their blood essence, he would understand their Wood ability in a big way. He can't miss such a chance.
The trees ruffled their leaves revealing three big copies of the small Wood River that Lazy Wafula had just killed. Just like the small Wood River, these ones were also at level one of the mortal stage. They were at the very peak of this level as Lazy Wafula can feel the slightly strong savage aura radiating from them. These beasts were huffing with killing intent directed towards them. When they saw the dried corpses of the small Wood River, their rage was fueled even more and they then jumped into action without waiting.
Screech!
They let out a strident and jumped from tree to tree until they reached the area where they were.
"We must go all out man. We should also coordinate to take them out quickly." Lazy Wafula said and moved. He was not planning to stand there and wait for them to reach him. Lazy Wafula as usual, leapt to the air and gripped a branch of a tree before swinging himself to meet the three beasts.
Knowing what he was planning to do, the beasts sneered mockingly and their tongues which were coiled, slippery and extra long with worm-like appearance, they were sent his way with an amazing speed. It looks like these big Wood Rivers which were about to level up to level two of the mortal realm were almost getting a maximum understanding of the use of their tongues which underwent a mutation because of staying in this undead world for a long time. One should know that the undead world was not their ancestral land but because of absorbing too much dark energy from the earth, they became inhabitants of this place. The undead / dark energy runs in their being. This undead cultivation plane had a slight resemblance to their ancestral land and that was why they can survive here. Unlike the small Wood River which had not yet gotten an understanding of the use of its tongue, these big ones were an exception.
The tip of their tongues were razor sharp and produced a stinky acidic slime that breaks down every being that it was in contact with, not to mention that their tongues though boneless, with the help of their blood energy, they can be as stiff as trunks and coupled with the speed that the tongues were sent towards Lazy Wafula, if those tongues made contact, his body will be pierced easily like paper.
Because Lazy Wafula was midair, it was difficult for him to get away faster than the tongues sent to his way. His fighting instincts run as he search for a way to retaliate. He saw a way out, yes.
He chosed the smaller one among them which according to him, should be the weakest of them all. These big Wood Rivers were as big as buffaloes while the small Wood River that he had killed earlier was the size of an antelope.
Fey Wesonga had earlier leapt up to the air after he saw Lazy Wafula advancing towards the beasts bravely. The blood within him was burning, he also wanted to rip some flesh. Even though his body was plump, when it came to running and jumping, he was not to be underestimated. His fatty build was as light as a feather. He spun his hammer in the air creating a tornado. With the help of the wind, he propelled himself swiftly towards the three beasts.
One of the beast which was going for Lazy Wafula stopped advancing its tongue towards him and coiled it sending it towards Fey Wesonga who had come in between. With that happening, Lazy Wafula was left to deal with the two beasts. He focused his blood energy in his arms and then moved his arms quickly like lightning and grasped the tongue of the smaller Wood River, tightly.
The smaller Wood River released a hysterical echoed laughed and its tongue became even more slimy with more acidic slime being produced which burned Lazy Wafula's arms making them to release dark pungent smoke. At the same time, the long distance between him and the other beast which was slightly far away had made its tongue to take time to reach him.
