Lucian approached one of the snakes; it was quite easy to distinguish between male and female since the female had changed quite a bit after absorbing Fog, while male snakes looked quite weak compared to them.
First, Lucian pointed one of his fingers towards a male snake as Velm shot out of his finger and stuck to the snake's body as it hissed and wriggled in pain.
Then it began to devour the blood and flesh of the small animal.
Within a few moments, all of its blood and flesh were devoured, leaving only skin and bones.
Lucian did feel a tiny amount of energy enter his body, but it was almost negligible, so he just allowed Velm to absorb it.
Then he moved his gaze towards a female snake that was around 3 meters long.
Velm shot out again, its speed so fast that none of the snakes noticed it until it hit the body of the female snake.
Not even giving her time to resist, all the blood, flesh, and Fog were absorbed from its body.
