Just at that moment, a faint glimmer of light shot out from the zombie whose head had been exploded and landed squarely on Kael.
“Huh? What on earth is this!”
An idea flashed through Kael''s mind.
Could it be that slaying a zombie could also augment his potential points?
He halted in his tracks and summoned his attribute panel.
Name: Kael
...
Magic Power: 18/21
Skills: “The Breath of Darkness Meditation Method”, Zero - level Spell: “The Bone Tooth”
Potential Points: 0.5
Sure enough, the potential points had increased by 0.5!
Having already experienced the advantages of potential points, Kael was elated.
These potential points were truly invaluable.
A single zombie could only yield 0.5 potential points, which was less than what a goblin provided.
Could it be because zombies lacked intelligence?
At this thought, a spark of excitement ignited within Kael''s heart.
Why not eliminate all these remaining zombies!
The few ghastly and ferocious zombies in the room now seemed oddly endearing in Kael''s eyes.
He seemed to see several potential points beckoning to him.
However, after a moment''s reflection, Kael suppressed his greed.
He hadn''t yet escaped from danger, and he couldn''t place himself in a more precarious situation merely for the sake of these few potential points.
As long as he remained alive, there would always be opportunities in the future.
Currently, Kael was still far too weak.
With this in mind, Kael wasted no more time.
He tiptoed down the corridor, taking great care not to make the slightest sound.
He carefully stepped over the corpse of the zombie whose head he had blown apart, avoiding the bloodstains on the ground.
Once downstairs, Kael shouldered his backpack and changed his direction, intent on distancing himself from these zombie hordes.
In the original direction, he had passed by several zombie hordes the previous night.
Based on his current speculation, those zombies were likely lurking in the corridors on either side to avoid the sunlight.
If he were to walk that way now, he might very well find himself in the midst of a zombie horde.
So, Kael slowly made his way in the direction he had come from the day before, planning to find another building to take refuge in.
But the Spirit Realm was perpetually full of surprises.
Before he had taken more than a few steps, he heard sounds approaching from ahead.
Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!
He dropped to one knee and listened intently, his expression changing involuntarily.
The sounds emanating from not too far away were precisely the same as the goblin voices he had heard the day before.
There were likely goblins up ahead.
Could it be that the goblins had traced the trail he had left behind yesterday and had come to exact revenge?!
That couldn''t be right.
A whole night had passed, and so many zombies had roamed the area at night.
How could they still manage to track him down?
There was no time for further contemplation.
Kael no longer cared about concealing his footsteps.
He spun around and took off running.
After all, there were zombies all around, and they dared not emerge during the day, so it was relatively safe.
After running for about a hundred meters, he turned his head and saw a line of green figures appear on the street in the distance.
Kael dared not run any further.
He utilized his spiritual power to locate a building devoid of zombies and clambered in through a gap in the first - floor window.
He cautiously climbed up to the fourth floor, hid in a room, and leaned against the window to observe the goblins'' situation.
There were far more goblins this time than the ones he had encountered the previous day, at least over twenty of them.
They were creating a ruckus, running amok.
They chattered incessantly, and from time to time, some of the goblins engaged in rough play.
The weapons in the hands of these over - twenty goblins were no different from those of the goblins he had seen yesterday.
There were even a few more goblins sporting feather - grass necklaces.
Upon seeing this, Kael dared not stir at all.
With such a large number of goblins, their combat prowess was definitely beyond what he, a newly - initiated apprentice mage, could contend with.
With his “The Bone Tooth” spell, which could be cast once every three seconds, even if these goblins remained stationary, he could only eliminate seven of them.
When it came to close - quarters combat, the situation was even more hopeless.
Three goblins attacking simultaneously would be more than he could handle.
For the time being, he could only conceal himself well and hope that the goblins wouldn''t detect his presence.
This group of goblins strolled along the street, periodically knocking on the walls of the buildings and making a racket.
Sometimes, one or two goblins would venture deep into a building and emerge after a short while.
What were they up to?
The goblins'' actions perplexed Kael.
In such a perilous place, they ought to strive to make as little noise as possible.
Why were these goblins being so brazen?
Finally, these goblins drew near the building where Kael had once taken shelter.
There were dozens of zombies in this vicinity.
What would transpire when these goblins encountered the zombies? This piqued Kael''s curiosity.
He peeked out with a pair of eyes from upstairs and stared intently at the goblins not far away.
These over - twenty goblins formed a long line, and two of them entered a building once again.
This caused Kael''s heart to tighten as he watched.
There were several zombies in this building.
Before long, the two goblins rushed out of the building, chattering loudly with excitement in their voices.
What was going on? Kael was bewildered.
Although he couldn''t understand what the goblins were saying, he could sense the exuberance in their tone.
With the shouts of these two goblins, the remaining goblins also erupted into jubilant cries.
They charged into the building with their spears in a frenzy.
The distance was too great for Kael''s spiritual power to reach, so he couldn''t discern what was happening inside the building.
However, after approximately ten minutes, these goblins emerged.
Some of the goblins had blood on their spears, and they exited the building in high spirits.
Kael, who had been observing them closely, witnessed a scene that made his pupils contract slightly.
The goblins at the rear, in pairs, carried out the zombies!
These zombies were now thoroughly dead.
Marks of being stabbed by spears were visible on their bodies, and black blood dripped onto the ground along the wounds.
The hands and feet of the zombies were bound to the goblins'' spears and carried out of the corridor by the goblins.
None of the three zombies in that building had managed to escape; they had all been slain.
This was not the end.
Subsequently, the goblins scoured several more buildings, killed the zombies within, and then, just like tying up piglets, bound the zombies to their spears and carried them downstairs.
The most recent time, Kael was able to use his spiritual power to monitor their movements, and naturally, he wouldn''t let this opportunity for observation slip by.
As soon as the goblins discovered that there were zombies in this building, they began shouting to summon their comrades.
Then, seven or eight more goblins charged in.
Once the goblins found the zombies, they all wore grins on their faces.
In stark contrast were the zombies.
Although they heard the goblins approaching, they did not open their eyes and did not even stir.
One goblin bared a malevolent smile and then thrust his spear straight into the zombie''s chest.
The sharp stone spear pierced the zombie''s body.
Only then did the zombie react.
It suddenly opened its eyes and flailed its hands desperately, but it was already too late.
With its chest pierced through, it was no longer able to get close to the goblin.
Then, another goblin stabbed the zombie with a stone spear once more, putting an end to the zombie''s life.
