Great Demon King [45-???]

Chapter 67 - 77

Sharing in the secrets of the dwarves

Han Shuo stayed within the cemetery of death for the next couple of days, studying the book of "Foundational Magics of Necromancy" on one hand, while looking after the "Original Demon Cave".

Utilizing the round green ball, that most likely originated in the cemetery of death, Han Shuo would receive a large increase in mental strength whilst experiencing a high degree of agony and pain in his mind.

Except, with his increased usage of the round green ball, Han Shuo could clearly feel that his mental strength was no longer growing as speedily as before. It looked like this strange round green ball couldn't help him continuously. As the number of times he used it increased, the benefit that Han Shuo received continually decreased.

One day, Han Shuo meditated for a while and left the cemetery of death after infusing the "Original Demon Cave" with his blood and magical yuan.

After investigating the vicinity in which he met the dwarves last time, Han Shuo finally found traces of a dwarf. He followed the dwarf tracks while maintaining his composure. After walking for a while, he finally discovered that the dwarf tracks had stopped in front of a highly concealed cave entrance.

There was luxuriant shrubbery near the entrance of the cave, and the surroundings had obviously been fixed up. If it weren't for a dwarf moving aside the large patch of leaves, Han Shuo wouldn't have been able to discover that there was a cave here.

After observing the cave entrance for a while, Han Shuo noticed that several dwarves had appeared nearby again. They were holding iron spades and hammers as they filed into the cave. After a short while, the dwarf who'd given Han Shuo the bag of beer, Bennett, was helped out of the cave by two dwarves. He seemed to have been injured.

A soft sound came from afar. Han Shuo's ears were sharp and could immediately tell that it was likely the sounds of magical creatures approaching. He crouched on the branch of a big tree and waited for a while. Shortly after, he saw two Windblade Wolves slowly approach in the distance.

His thoughts moving, Han Shuo snapped one of the dry branches off the big tree and threw it towards the shrubs next to the cave entrance. The sound of the dry branch falling to the ground obviously attracted the attention of Windblade Wolves. The two moved according to the noise and padded softly, quickly as they changed direction, heading for the cave entrance of the dwarves.

When Bennett and the other two dwarves looked around their surroundings after hearing the movement, the two Windblade Wolves had already appeared in their range of vision.

"Oh, damnit. It's Windblade Wolves. Let's hurry and and return back to the cave!" The injured Bennett threw out an involuntarily complaint upon seeing the two Windblade Wolves appear and decided to head back into the cave.

"Bennett, it's too crowded inside. If these two Windblade wolves follow us into the cave, then the ones inside will be in danger." One of the dwarves shook the hammer in his hand as he heard Bennett's words.

Bennett thought for a moment after hearing his words, "Mm, then we'll kill these two damned Windblade Wolves at the door."

"No way, it's impossible for the three of us to do so. I think we should let the dwarves within the cave stop mining for now and join forces to kill the two Windblade Wolves." The dwarf said.

Just at this moment, Han Shuo suddenly jumped down from the big tree and arched his body on the ground, dashing out like lightning. After he revealed himself in the far off shrubbery, he nimbly dashed towards the two Windblade Wolves. The dagger in his hand was like a bolt of cold lightning as it shot towards one of the Windblade Wolves. Han Shuo followed closely behind with the speed of cheetah, facing down the other Windblade Wolf with his bare hands.
