The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

He mobilized the entire tribe, even giving up the home they had run for more than a decade. The Gnoll High Priest's initial plan was to find the god who could guide him and fight for a brighter future for his tribe.

In the pursuit of the future, all sacrifices are worth it, as long as you get enough rewards in the end...

So when the return was a tattered book with no words on it, the high priest got furious.

Originally, the high priest wanted to use the holy book to replace the temple scriptures he had carried for many years, so he left the space around his waist.

"How could the result be like this? Tell me, did you humans do something?"

Seeing the high priest's manic look, Li inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Li had already used the magic he had set up at home to observe all of the actions of the Kobold High Priest after he entered the room.

At first, Li was full of worries, fearing that his negligence would lead to irreparable consequences.

If the High Priest uses the power of the Book of the Dead to directly summon the final boss or something, Li will have no choice but to start over.

However, the high priest was only attracted by the lost power of the Book of the Dead, and he didn't even know the true situation of the book. Li's worries were instantly put to rest.

"No one has tampered with it. The book has always been that way."

After Lee used the power of the Book of the Dead to perform an ascension ceremony, the magic book has been dormant.

Li opened it and looked at it many times, but it was still empty.

"Actually, I'm very curious, why are you so sure that this book can bring you strength?"

If Li suddenly felt that there was something in the nest of other races that could enhance his own strength, Li would definitely not attack rashly, but would weigh the pros and cons first and then make a decision.

Li said he couldn't understand why the Kobold High Priest, who had never even seen the true appearance of the thing he was looking for, would just go for it based on his feeling.

All I can say is that the dog's thought process is different from that of ordinary people.

"Human, why are you able to come up here!"

The high priest had just clearly seen that Li was surrounded by his own men. It was impossible for him to be alive with the strength of only two people.

"Of course it's because your puppies are a bunch of trash~"

"Human, how dare you laugh at me!"

Li originally wanted to test the Gnoll High Priest's words, but he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly go crazy.

The high priest pounced on Li, swung his hands, and scratched Li with his claws.

The soldier's sword in Li's hand broke into two pieces, and the armor on his body was torn and fell off.

Li had no time to care about his precious armor and quickly raised his hands to block. The arm armor was quickly cut open and Li's arms were torn apart.

"You damn dog! I'll trap your monkey!"

Li didn't expect the high priest's claws to be so sharp, and it looked crazy now, as if it had rabies.

Li was pressed down and attacked by the high priest. He could not resist for a while and could only curse.

"Master, let me help you!"

Xiaoli stumbled up the stairs and saw her young master fighting with a dog-headed man.

Xiaoli waved a half-broken sword and was about to come over to help.

But there was a flash of holy light, and Xiaoli was blown backwards, rolling down the stairs.

"Xiao Li! You bastard, if you dare to hurt Xiao Li, I will fight you!"

Li swung his fist and hit the high priest in the face, but was bitten by the high priest.

The high priest slowly exerted force, and Li's arm squeaked. Amid Li's fear and screams, Li's arm was bitten off by the high priest.

The high priest spat out Li's severed hand and wanted to tear off more flesh and blood from Li in a bloodthirsty and crazy way.

"Foolish human, if you can survive, you should cherish your life. But you dare to run and act wild in front of me. Do you really think that I am a priest and I can't fight?"

Gnolls are intelligent beasts. How could humans, a race that can only survive with the help of tools, possibly withstand the fangs and claws of Gnolls in hand-to-hand combat?

Li and the high priest immediately rolled on the ground, but the more they fought, the more wounds Li got. Finally, after a scream, Li opened his eyes wide and looked at his broken arms, wanting to cry but without tears.

"Ha~ Even if humans are setting a trap for me, what can I do? You have to be capable. You can't annihilate a small town with just a small army..."

The high priest laughed loudly towards the sky, but halfway through his words, only a "huh" sound came out of his throat.

The increasingly swollen trachea gradually became blocked, and every breath became difficult.

The high priest couldn't see the condition of his neck, so he could only anxiously feel it with his claws.

It didn't matter that it was touched, as it immediately widened its eyes in fear, and the fear it had just brought to the human in front of it was even stronger.

"What did you do to me..."

The high priest squeezed out a few words with his last bit of strength, and then collapsed to the ground. He felt suffocated and scratched his neck in increasing panic.

Li leaned against the wall silently, witnessing the high priest's neck swelling, witnessing it struggling due to lack of oxygen, and witnessing it finally tearing its own throat.

Blood spurted out from the high priest's throat, and the swollen flesh and blood included not only the high priest's own blood, but also the flesh and blood of Li that it had swallowed during the fight.

"I am a necromancer. You are seeking death by eating my flesh and blood."

The high priest fell there with his eyes wide open, his eyes open and his pupils reflected the figure of Li in front of him.

Li's broken arms were covered in blood, but the blood that fell on the ground crawled up Li's body like a living thing and melted into Li's wounds.

Within two minutes, Li's arms returned to normal, and their skin became even smoother and whiter than before.

"Wow~ Master, how did you do this!"

Xiaoli climbed up from downstairs, holding her waist and screaming in surprise.

Xiaoli witnessed the scene of Li recovering his arms. Her eyes lit up and she even wanted to cut off her own hands.

"Xiao Li, what are you doing waving your sword around?"

"Master, if I cut off my hand, could you help me heal it? My hand is too rough. You always say that my hand feels like a file."

"…I'm always teasing you, but you took it seriously?"

"But being a little tender is never a bad thing."

"…Please calm down for a while. I have no magic power left."

Li used his magic power as a shield, and Xiaoli calmed down. She stood beside Li to prevent other ogres from rushing up. Li stared intently at the corpse of the high priest in front of him, as well as the Book of the Dead that fell to the ground.

The Book of the Dead is of great significance to Li.

Li originally planned to wait for the magic book to recover its power to see if it could talk and communicate with him like in the dream world.

In the dream world, Li grew up with the Book of the Dead during his childhood. It was not only a pet, but also a partner, a teacher, and even an elder.

But many things in this world are different from the dream world.

The Book of the Dead actually attracted enemies like the Kobold Legion. Can Li Zhen still look upon it with a friendly eye?
