Dark Blood Path

Flame goblins, goblin leaders, poisonous zombies, ghouls, and ogres were all first-order monsters. But they were very distinct from each other, and their strengths were all wholly different. For instance, the flame goblin was a monster at the low stage of the first order and was the weakest among all the first-order monsters they had encountered until now.

Werebeasts 🐺 and Lycanthropy in D&D 5e Poisonous zombies and goblin leaders were both monsters in the middle stage of the first order; on the other hand, ghouls were monsters in the late first-order and were stronger than the last two, while the ogres were the strongest of them all and were an existence at the peak first order.

With Xiao Yu’s current strength at the low first-order level, fighting against monsters of the middle first-order was already breaking his limits; if he attempted to confront those beings of the late first-order, he was just looking for death. Ghouls were relatively high-level undead creatures. They were also part of a large group that could be classified into three kinds, ranging from low to high: iron-armored ghouls, silver-armored ghouls, and golden-armored ghouls. At the same time, their strengths were in the first-, second-, and third-order levels, respectively.

This particular ghoul was just the lowest of its kind, an iron-armored ghoul. If it evolves into a silver-armored ghoul, its skin will turn shiny silver. From that, it can evolve into a golden-armored ghoul, where its skin will turn bright golden, and by then, it will become almost invulnerable to fire and water magic attacks and evolve to be much more powerful than ever.

The ghoul should have spotted everyone running away, but it didn’t seem to care about the humans and instead focused on the corpses scattered around. The armored ghoul’s teeth were razor sharp; even the zombie’s body, which was as hard as rock, felt like a fragile potato chip in its mouth, which it devoured with glee. It had a voracious appetite and consumed two zombie corpses in only ten minutes. The armored ghoul, however, still needed more. The dead body of the poisonous zombie drew its attention, and its four blood-red eyes revealed delight and acute hunger.

The armored ghoul crept forward slowly, stopping in front of the dead body of the deadly poisonous zombie before grabbing its head and hurling it down into its mouth. This dramatic scene occurred against the backdrop of a ‘Ka Ka Ka Ka’ burst of scalp-numbing crackling noise. The poisonous zombie’s head, which was as tough as a steel statue, was crushed into meat paste just like that.

The ghoul roared in excitement, opened its bloody mouth, and gnawed off the poisonous zombie’s arm, chewing it with relish.

The poisonous zombie was a first-order monster. After devouring its body, a powerful force of death was immediately absorbed by the armored ghoul, and right then, a delicate silver scale materialized on the back of its body, and a more powerful dark force seeped out; the monster’s aura was now three points stronger than before!
