Monsters, as the name suggests, are beasts imagined by demons.
It was a war machine that could only kill and take orders from the demons.
After the hero killed the demon king, these monsters completely lost control. Even the surviving demons cannot control the monsters again.
These war-era creations have completely turned into cruel and bloodthirsty monsters.
Because monsters do not need to eat, their energy comes from demon spirit veins. In the past, the devil could provide them with enough demon spirit veins, so the monsters would be controlled by the devil.
Now they will find places where demon spirit veins gather to live.
Therefore, the killing of these monsters is considered to be just in nature, not to survive.
Their first reaction when seeing any species is to tear it into pieces, so now there is actually a large magic crystal wolf approaching He Wen. This makes these orcs and even Eve widen their eyes in surprise. .
"Ouch——"
The large magic crystal wolf let out a deep roar, and no one could understand what it wanted to express except He Wen.
"You want a name? Well, maybe this is what is called giving a name. Okay, let me think about it."
He Wen smiled while rubbing the head of the magic crystal wolf.
Its head alone was almost half the size of He Wen, but it was as docile as a puppy in front of He Wen.
To be honest, He Wen felt that this magic crystal wolf was uncomfortable to touch. It had no hair and most of its body was covered with magic crystals. But this was his first magic wolf, so he was still quite excited.
At this moment, the voice of the system sounded in his head.
[It is detected that the host is giving names to the magic soldiers]
[It costs 500 demon points to give a name. After being named, the demon soldiers will directly upgrade their species and inherit half of your current power]
[Ask if I need to give a name]
500 points! ?
He Wen was shocked. This was not cheap. He had just shaped the minds of Hal and Harudo. He still had 4,300 demon points left. This time he would have to spend 500 points. He would be lying if he said he didn't feel bad.
But when he saw the magic crystal wolf crawling in front of him, as if begging for a title, He Wen remembered a puppy his sister had raised. The puppy was very well-behaved, and his sister He Jia was very fond of it. He is even more pampered.
But unfortunately, the puppy did not live long. It was born prematurely and had been frail and sick since childhood. Although I and my sister tried their best to save it, the puppy died in the winter when it was three years old.
He Wen still remembers He Jia crying while burying the puppy. It was raining heavily that day.
He held an umbrella for his sister, because her sister wanted to send the puppy off in person, so she refused his help, so he watched He Jia dig a hole for it, and finally held the puppy's body and talked for a long time. Only then was he buried.
He Jia loves dogs so much, will she be happy when she sees this "large dog"?
He Wen smiled bitterly, and finally put his hand on the head of the large magic crystal wolf and whispered.
"In my name, I give you a name. From today on, your name is...Cookie."
This was the name of the puppy that He Jia once raised. He Wen gave it this name because he wanted to commemorate his sister.
[500 demon points from the host have been deducted]
[The magic soldier has been named: Cookie]
[Large Demon Crystal Wolf Species Evolution: Night Demon Wolf. 】
[Race: Demon, in addition to the initial skill Shadow Walker, the newly acquired demon skill: Demon Flame Claw Strike. 】
[And the cookie has inherited half of the host’s power]
[The host’s remaining demon points are currently 3800 points]
"Ouch——!"
The large magic crystal wolf raised its head and roared, and the whole mine was really shaken by the sound. Hal and Harudo were so frightened that they drew their weapons again, and even Eve's hand was on the hilt of the sword. .
But He Wen raised his hand to stop them, while excitedly watching the changes in this monster.
I saw that the originally uneven magic crystals on its body began to slowly fall off, and turned into hair burning with black flames.
The monster's pupils also changed from the dull eyes at the beginning to a pair of golden pupils like He Wen, and its size also began to slowly shrink, eventually becoming about the same size as an ordinary magic crystal wolf.
Despite the reduced size.
But He Wen could clearly feel that this monster, no, it was no longer a monster, but a devil like himself.
Its power is already much stronger than before.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
After the change was over, Cookie suddenly threw He Wen down.
"professor!"
Just as Hal was about to rush forward, he heard He Wen laughing.
"Hahaha, cookie, wait, don't lick me, it's so itchy, hahahahaha."
So everyone was shocked to see the black shadow wolf falling on He Wen and licking He Wen's cheek.
"I... don't know how to express how I feel right now."
Harudo took a breath, and then looked at He Wen with eyes full of respect.
"...I finally saw the true God today."
After waiting for Cookie to act like a baby, He Wen probably explained it to a few people.
Now Cookie is no longer a monster, but his companion. He is unwilling to use words like slave or pet to call Cookie. After all, it has half of his power in its body, and it is not even his own heir. Go ahead.
"Professor... what does cookie mean? Is it in a language we don't know?"
Hal asked with some confusion.
He Wen scratched his head. He didn't know how to explain it, so he gave a rough explanation.
It's just a kind of food that he will cook for them if he has the opportunity in the future.
He Wen specially asked the orcs to spare their hands during the battle that followed deep into the mine. He wanted to test Cookie's combat effectiveness himself.
You won't know the result unless you try it. This time, He Wen was completely stupid.
He almost doesn't need to give any instructions to Cookie, as long as he uses life detection to mark the location of the monsters, no matter how far away they are, no matter how many there are.
Cookie would crawl down, and then his body would melt directly into the darkness. When he reappeared, he was already at the location marked by He Wen, and those monsters were almost instantly killed by Cookie's claws and sharp teeth. Torn apart mercilessly.
"Ouch!"
Cookie appeared from the shadows on the ground, holding the head of a magic crystal wolf in his mouth, seemingly asking for credit.
He Wen smiled and touched his head and said.
"Keep him alive next time, I'll be useful."
"Ouch!"
Cookie yelled and then got directly into He Wen's shadow, waiting for the next attack instruction from He Wen.
"...Hmph, I won't lose."
It seemed that she was competing with Cookie. Hal clenched his swords and fought with all his strength, but after all, she could not communicate with He Wen. By the time He Wen pointed out the location of the monster to her, Cookie had already emerged from the shadows. The goal was achieved.
Hal stamped his feet in anger.
After nearly three hours of digging deep into the mine, He Wen felt that they had reached a very deep position.
Along the way, he harvested nearly 300 souls. Fortunately, Cookie was there. If only the beasts were relied on, even Hal and Harudo, who had weapons, would be hard-pressed to hold on like this. Attacks from multiple monsters.
"well done."
He Wen turned a few souls into beads and threw them to Cookie.
Cookie jumped up excitedly, swallowed the soul in one bite, and then screamed twice happily.
Then He Wen said to Hal who still wanted to go deeper.
"That's almost it. The ore at this location is enough for us. If we continue deeper, we may encounter some unexpected things. Don't take risks for the time being. Don't forget, our goal is the Knights."
