Seeing the information about Shrink.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed. Agility could be increased by up to 100 points, which was no small boost.
You must know! His current agility stat was only 113 points. Using this skill, his agility would essentially double. Even in the later stages, an increase of 100 would still be significant.
The only drawback was that it could only be used twice a day.
A mental-type class, Wizard? This was the first time he'd heard of this class. Tang Zheng did remember a class called Witch.
"Shrink!"
Tang Zheng looked at the Demi-human Demon Creature opposite him, who was constantly creating distance using its speed advantage, and muttered.
Thump! Tang Zheng felt his heart leap, followed by his body rapidly shrinking, his size directly reduced by half.
At the same time!
An unprecedented sense of lightness washed over him.
Tang Zheng looked at his shrunken body, feeling somewhat amazed, especially at the Iron Sword in his hand, which seemed much larger. Gripping it with his current size felt slightly awkward.
But the impact wasn't significant.
Sensing his own state, apart from his body shrinking and his speed greatly increasing, none of his other stats were affected.
After briefly adjusting to the discomfort.
Tang Zheng looked up again at the stunned Demi-human Demon Creature opposite him, grinned, "Continue."
Whoosh! Tang Zheng moved his feet, his body instantly turning into a white afterimage, rushing out at an extremely fast speed.
"Ah-lee!"
The Demi-human Demon Creature clearly hadn't expected Tang Zheng to be able to use such power. It shrieked and turned to flee.
If it were before, Tang Zheng wouldn't have been able to catch up with the speed the opponent had shown, but now, the Demi-human Demon Creature's speed was no longer an advantage.
Combined with the ability of the Forest Traversal Magic Item, the distance between them rapidly closed!
"You can't escape."
Tang Zheng's cold laughter rang out as he raised the Iron Sword in his hand and swung, "*Four Light Consecutive Slash!*"
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Four sprays of blood bloomed from the Demi-human Demon Creature's limbs.
Bang! The fleeing Demi-human Demon Creature let out a miserable cry, its body uncontrollably falling from mid-air, crashing heavily onto the decaying branches and leaves below.
Tang Zheng deactivated Shrink, his body returning to normal size. He walked up to the Demi-human Demon Creature with the Iron Sword in hand, calmly gazing at it: "Now we can talk, right?"
At the same time.
The insect-type Demon Creatures that had been summoned were also nearly wiped out by the ten Flame Archangels and the Surveillance Authority Angel, and his Experience Points increased again.
Experience Bar: 8762/10000
Compared to the increased Experience Points, what Tang Zheng was more concerned about was that the Curse Power within his body had increased again.
Because he had killed more insect-type Demon Creatures this time, the increase in Curse Power was even more noticeable than the last time he killed two Manticores.
"Have a chat, how about it?"
Tang Zheng made his expression amiable and spoke to the Demi-human Demon Creature.
He was becoming increasingly curious about the situation here.
"Curse... monster!"
"Kill, kill me!"
The Demi-human Demon Creature's bloodshot green pupils looked at Tang Zheng with resentment, its voice hoarse as it roared.
Faced with the emotionally agitated Demi-human Demon Creature, whose speech lacked logic and whose mental state might even be questionable, Tang Zheng couldn't help but frown.
Connecting the few words that the other party occasionally blurted out.
This mysterious Demi-human was likely not resenting or hostile towards humans, but rather towards the Curse Power on him and Renners.
Even if he guessed that, it didn't seem to help.
If they couldn't communicate, it would be meaningless.
Kill him?
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, but he felt it was a pity.
The situation deep in this swamp might only be clear to this mysterious Demi-human in front of him, especially since the other party could communicate, which was the most important thing.
Tang Zheng's eyes moved, and he suddenly thought of something.
"A few years ago, a Demi-human creature like you left this swamp and entered the area where we humans live," Tang Zheng said.
In the humanoid Demon Creature's resentful gaze, a ripple arose, its twisted expression paused, and its lifeless aura seemed to suddenly inject a burst of vitality.
"It's Pasha!"
"It must be Pasha!!"
The humanoid Demon Creature struggled to get up, looking at Tang Zheng with excited emotions. Because its limbs were cut, it could only twist its body awkwardly.
Tang Zheng's expression relaxed, and he took out a Regeneration Potion, pouring it on the other party's limbs: "It seems that now we can talk."
As the injuries healed.
The humanoid Demon Creature quickly got up from the ground and rushed to Tang Zheng: "Where is Pasha, is he safe, how is he now?"
While saying that.
Tears flickered in the humanoid Demon Creature's green pupils.
"Don't be so excited first. Before I answer your question, can you answer my doubts? This... well, what race are you?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Gnome!"
The humanoid Demon Creature quickly spoke, and then added, "Forest Gnome, Dogan Stone Lizard!"
Gnome?
Tang Zheng was stunned, carefully looking at the other party. This was a very rare race. The other party's height was indeed similar to the rumored gnomes.
Moreover, it was an even rarer Forest Gnome among gnomes. No wonder its skin was similar to the color of tree bark. It was said that this kind of gnome had elven blood.
As for whether it was true or not, it was unknown.
It was no wonder that he didn't recognize the other party's race at first glance. The current appearance of this Forest Gnome was similar to a human savage.
The reason he didn't completely regard the other party as a Demon Creature was because it could speak.
"Dogan Stone Lizard? Is that your name?" Tang Zheng repeated, feeling that the name was a bit strange.
"Yes, yes!"
The bloodshot in Dogan's eyes faded a little, his hairy cheeks twitched, and he quickly opened his mouth without reservation, "Stone Lizard is my ability. All the warriors in the tribe will choose a powerful Demon Creature to complete the magic ritual."
"Successful people can put the name of the Demon Creature after their own name."
Stone Lizard obviously represented Petrification Lizard! "Tribe... tribe!"
"Dead!"
"They're all dead, where is Pasha, where is he!"
After Dogan mentioned the word "tribe," his body shook, and he began to mutter to himself again. The mental state that had just stabilized became manic again.
Bang! With a muffled sound, Tang Zheng flicked his hand and chopped the back of Dogan's neck with a palm, knocking him unconscious on the ground.
"It's really a headache, but at least we can communicate now."
Tang Zheng looked at Dogan, who had fainted on the ground, rubbed his temples, and thought to himself, "I've also sorted out the general outline a bit."
He looked up.
Looking at the Flame Archangels who had finished dealing with those insect-like Demon Creatures and were flying over one by one.
"Disperse and attack all the Demon Creatures in the forest. If you encounter creatures similar to him, bring them back or return."
Tang Zheng issued instructions to the ten Flame Archangels.
After all, these were summoned by scrolls, far less convenient than summoning angels directly, which could be controlled with consciousness.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! One Flame Archangel after another flew in all directions into the surrounding forest.
Soon.
Experience information began to refresh on the panel, but most of the Experience Points were only around ten points.
This forest couldn't compare to the Tove Great Forest; naturally, there wouldn't be many high-level Demon Creatures.
Night.
The burning firewood crackled.
Tang Zheng sat by the campfire, holding the 'Death Orb' in his hand, using the Mana Infusion ability to draw a portion of his own Mana and inject it into the Death Orb.
His current Mana value was enough to create a Tier 3 scroll, but not enough to create a Tier 4 scroll.
The Mana consumption for Tier 4-6 scroll production doubled, requiring 10 points of Mana.
Tier 2 'Mana Accumulation': 10 points.
Tier 4 'Angel Summoning': 20 points.
In other words, creating a 'Tier 4 Angel Summoning' scroll required 40 points of Mana, and that didn't even include the Mana consumption of 'Tier 4 Papermaking'.
"Pasha!!"
An excited scream rang out from beside the campfire, and the unconscious Dogan Stone Lizard suddenly sat up.
