Noble meat
When I'm done enjoying my new hairstyle and everything else. Taking my makeshift backpack, I moved on.
I thought before that since I digested them, there must be some road or trail nearby. And after a few minutes of walking, I reached the road. It was empty, there aren't any cars yet. And the road is nothing but a plowed piece of empty space (instead of asphalt there is sand)
I walked on it for quite a long time. Determining my direction and probable goal. Based on moss on trees that always grow from the north. I know it runs along the border between the end of a small human kingdom ... unfortunately, I forgot its name. I know if I turn around now, I will encounter orc territory ... Which wouldn't be so bad ... But I have gas all over the meat of the orcs. Hahaha...
What is happening to me?
twenty minutes later
POV 3-person
Krius keeps walking along the road, and despite the distance traveled. Can't see a trace of a human until now.
Several dozen meters away, you can see. Three people riding their horses. Two of them are dressed in iron armor with a coat of arms of a golden wolf on a black background. Their armor is slightly worn and has numerous traces of many fights, be it with humans, traces of a sword or monsters, traces of claws.
The two are following who, who looks like a classic model for fantasy magazines. Dressed in silver, immaculate armor, with a coat of arms like that of two knights. Undoubtedly, this person is someone of noble birth because his complexion is very fair. What was considered a sign of nobility. Because ordinary people have a darker skin color because they often work in the sun.
The noble one was the prince of this little kingdom. Leonard von Draxter, the only son of the current ruler of the kingdom of Wolf. Leo has short flawless blonde hair and blue eyes. He is a typical noble child who considers himself better than others.
More than once he used his beauty, which was quite famous in the kingdom. For the seduction of peasant women and fewer noblewomen. By promising them marriage and wealth, and by exploiting them sexually or otherwise. And when he gets bored with them, he throws them away and pretends he has never seen them. Or if he has a whim or a classic outburst of aggression. Caused by the insults of women who, deceived, expect justice. More than once, he has ordered his soldiers to either kill them or have them first collectively rape and then killed.
And just today, Leonard von Draxter. He began his journey to hunt the monster. To prove his masculinity and gain recognition from the leader of a neighboring country. And to be able to marry his daughter and thus take over power over this country. And to merge both countries into one larger country.
However, Leo is not the only one seeking marriage to the king's daughter.
Well, the country with which the Wolf Kingdom is adjacent is called the Kingdom of the Black Gold. And this kingdom has other neighbors besides the Wolf Kingdoms. And they too want to take over the kingdom of black gold and its many riches.
Leonard, wanting to gain recognition, set off in search of the white hound. The infamous monster, the terror of the surrounding areas. Whose fur is very valuable because of its fur. Expensive magic robes can be made. Which can cost up to several million golds.
So, getting this fur will ensure him not only wealth, but also the certainty that he will occupy the coveted place at the top of the social hierarchy.
(Leonard)-HA!HA! It's not far. According to the information, the best cave is about five minutes away. And with my amazing, wonderful, holy-swordsman class. To kill this beast is just a formality Hehe...
(Leonard)-And now at a gallop, to the glory of Leonard von Draxter.
Return to Krius.
As I was walking along the road, I saw three silhouettes on the horizon. Rushing towards me. I saw a group of three knights ... come back two knights and a pampered nobleman.
I've spent too long with the village elder to not be able to tell a real warrior from a false poseur.
Maybe I'll get a horse from them. Maybe they'll give it to me if I ask nicely ... By eating them.
More precisely, my legs hurt. Even though my legs are much stronger than human legs. because they are the hybrid of human legs, orca and other beings that I have eaten. But walking in the heat causes such effects.
In addition, I can get interesting skills or at least some gold from them.
But I have to be careful, these aren't goblins. Because unlike monsters, who have strength according to their species and are based on evolution. People are a bit more diverse, they have a class system. Which, depending on the class, can bring skills and statistics to a much higher level.
The bandits I met before were not too strong, even weak. They didn't even have classes, except for the "Bandit" class, which is useless by the system.
And after updating the System, I only got a few body parts and innate skills from them.
But they are, apparently, experienced warriors, except for this one. And I may have a problem with them. I'd better hide and see what's next.
I hid in the bushes so I should be safe for the time being. But I'd better climb the tree.
Okay. Now I will check what I am dealing with.

Heh. Now I regret my judgment. It is so low. If I could see the stats they have. Or at least their skills. It's hard. Remains the Good Old Ambush.
I have about three minutes. I can handle.
Three minutes later.
POV-3 Person
Every second three people are approaching the place where Krius was hiding.
They rush at great speed and no one noticed in time. Three bolo, made of stones and web. which go towards the horses' legs. Causing the horses to fall over and throwing the riders forward. However, this accident caused two guards to be stuck for a while under the bodies of the horses.
Leo, on the other hand, was thrown further and hit a nearby tree with considerable force.
However, his injuries were minimal, thanks to the enchanted armor. However, he did not wear a helmet, which left him with a slight concussion. And it took a moment to recover.
One second after the accident. Krius jumped out of the brush. And he ran over to the immobilized guards and sank his stings into them by generating a second pair of arms, large spider-like arms with stings at the tips. Which grew under a pair of his "ordinary hands".
Krius then drives the sting into the space between the armor and the helmet. Hitting the arteries. which barely pierced their skin, although it required hitting the same spot several times. apparently, the ranger class gives you a large increase in defense and stamina. However, with effort, he managed to drive into the carotid arteries and introduce venom into the body. Which turned out to be not a lethal, but a highly paralyzing venom. However, damage to the artery caused them to die anyway. And because they are paralyzed, their chances of survival are zero.
After Krius was done with the two, he looked straight ahead. And he saw a panicked nobleman shaking and aiming his sword in his direction.
(Leo)-Don't come near me !!! Monster !! You don't know who I ... I ... I am.
(Krius)-My meal.
