Dawn of the Grey Tower

The shrunken sphere gradually formed into an oval-shaped substance that was as transparent as a body of water and had a somewhat colloidal texture. A circle of tentacles protruded from its surface, and the tip of the tentacles was raised like a drop of water.

Those protrusions are not decorative or developed tactile organs. Their structure is actually closer to the eye, but there is no familiar eye structure. Instead, it is a more primitive or direct photosensitive system.

And because of the visual skirt of this circle, the sphere looks like a jellyfish caught on the shore in visual appearance. The only difference is that even if it leaves the water, it shows no sign of death. On the contrary, the photosensitive cells are positive. Writhing curiously, like a dance.

Shadow mayfly, or shadow monster, this kind of creature is often found in forgotten buildings. The presence of it in a building means that the building has been abandoned or forgotten for a period of time, but it has not been forgotten for too long.

Not many people know their origins. During the journey, Cheese also talked about these things with Kailas. The gray robe also showed helplessness, and could only attribute the shadow mayfly to the genus of spirits like earth spirits. More The message of has never been known.

Interestingly, there will be no shadows in the gathering places of elves and dwarves, and there are no shadows in the races that adopt a more natural way of life like the lizards. Shadows seem to be emerging from human buildings. Species.

But no matter where these creatures came from, Kailas already knew their characteristics. The cat goblin summoned the sword of sand, slowly approached the shadow mayfly under the moonlight, and gently pressed the blade on its body. .

"Puff!" A cloud of smoke sprayed out from under the skirt of Ying May, with the same shadowy color as its body. Kailas looked unhappy, but closed his eyes and walked two steps forward, letting the black smoke envelop his whole body.

After a while, the smoke dissipated, and Shadow Mayfly's body was nearly one-third smaller than before. The breath just now seemed to have caused serious damage to it, and even the color of the epidermis began to dim.

"Thank you, go." Kailas's expression showed that he still hadn't recovered from the aftermath of the smoke just now, but he still walked between the window and the shadow mayfly, reaching out to block the light projected on the shadow mayfly.

As soon as there is no light to add the body, Ying Mayfly's body opens quickly, and the color gradually assimilates to the shadow on the ground, and after a few seconds, it is completely gone. The cat goblin took off his palm, and there was nothing on the ground illuminated by moonlight again.

In fact, the technique of capturing shadow mayflies with bare hands is not Kailas’s discovery. After all, shadows may exist most of the time as it is now. Sensitive creatures may be aware of them the first time they enter a barren mansion, but it will happen in a blink of an eye. adapt.

Even if you have the relevant knowledge reserves in your heart and can clearly perceive them, this ability to merge yourself with the shadows makes most creatures unable to deal with them. To pull the lurking mayfly out empty-handed, it requires more than just ability, determination, experience and luck are all indispensable.

However, not many people would specifically troubleshoot these non-existent creatures. After all, their existence has no effect on humans and animals.

Shadow mayfly is such a spirit with no sense of existence. In fact, for the creatures in this world, life is full of such existence, but because they can't happen or have no intuitive influence, they are often ignored by people.

Just like the strange monsters on the far land, no matter how strange they are, they will not affect the livestock in the village pigsty, and the riots in another country will hardly touch tomorrow's recipes.

The world is too large for an individual, so the individual is often described as having eyes but no beads, deaf ears, as if being enclosed in a sad finite. But is this really the case? In other words, is it sad that there must be one between finite and infinite?

Kailas didn't need to think about these questions, he had a purpose in capturing the shadows in the room. Most of the habits of the shadow mayfly are mysteries, but the cheese made a major discovery through experiments, that is, when the shadow mayfly is forced to appear and is stimulated, it will subconsciously emit a cloud of smoke, which is thick. The smoke is probably the gasification product of its digestive juices.

In other words, it's like a person subconsciously spit out his stomach acid when he was stimulated. Sounds uncomfortable, right? Fortunately, the digestive juice of the mayfly is not used to digest substances, or in other words, it is not used to digest substances that are visible to the naked eye. According to cheese's research, the smoke of shadow mayfly is an excellent deodorant.

This kind of deodorization is not to cover up the previous odor with another odor, nor to limit the emission of odor by magic, but to eliminate it on the real physical level. According to Gray Robe’s speculation, the food of the Shadow Mayfly is probably the residual biological atmosphere in the abandoned building not long ago, which is popular in the usual sense.

By sucking these fine particles, the mayfly will accelerate the desolation of a building, but this acceleration effect is not obvious, unless a large number of mayfly live in a building at the same time. Therefore, the digestive juice of the mayfly can quickly dissipate the fine particles, including odor, and the smoke emitted by the mayfly can eliminate the body odor to the greatest extent.

A dog, whether it is an ordinary hunting dog or an elf dog, is still based on the sense of smell in tracking prey. It can eliminate its own scent, and it has already taken the lead when evading hunting. Now that he has done this, Kailas obviously has no plans to wait in the cell for two reasons.

One is the attitude of the other party. From his capture to the present, the person imprisoning him has not given him any food or water. This shows that the other party does not want him to continue to maintain such vitality. After all, fairies need to eat in this world. , Hunger and thirst are enough to make the agile swordsman greatly reduced in mobility. So out of consideration of his own situation, he can't wait.

Second, he also saw the attitude of the other person from the person guarding him. It is true that he is the chief swordsman of the fairy king. If any fairy forces can catch him, they will either kill him on the spot, or at least place him in a very secure place or send senior jailers to guard him. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

But at present, although the mage guarding him has the ability to send elf dogs, he himself did not make the cat goblins feel threatened. If this is a big cell, then maybe this man and his wicked dogs have a lot of guards. This kind of care shows that the other party didn't realize who they caught, and therefore, he probably wouldn't see the other party's core character.

Adding the two together, Kailas thought he had no reason to stay here. Of course, this may also be the reason why his limited patience has been exhausted. After all, this time is different from returning to the fairy world. His failure to return may make his companions, especially Taran, feel worried, which is not acceptable to him. matter.

In short, the smoke of the shadow has given him the capital to escape from prison. In addition, the previous riots have also figured out the guard's configuration. Although the anxiety about the elf dog still makes him hesitate, the night has given him confidence. Darkness is a companion, shadow is a cloak, and the person who can walk through it is none other than him.

The Sword of Sand, extending outward along Kailas's nails, slowly stretched out along the crack of the door, and gently hooked the door bolt.

"Come on, it's time to find some excitement."
