The shrinking sphere gradually takes shape and becomes an oval material as transparent as a water body and with some colloidal texture. Its surface extends a circle of tentacles, and the top of the tentacles is raised like water droplets.
Those bulges are not decorative or developed tactile organs. Their structure is actually closer to the eyes, but there is no familiar eye structure, which is replaced by a more primitive or direct photosensitive system.
Because this circle has a visual skirt, the sphere is like a jellyfish fished to the shore in visual appearance. The only difference is that even if it leaves the water, it has no sign of death. On the contrary, those photosensitive units are twisting curiously, just like dancing.
Shadow mays, or shadow monsters, are common in forgotten buildings. If there is it in a building, it means that the building has been abandoned or forgotten for some time, but it has not been forgotten for too long.
Not many people know their origin. Cheese had talked about these things with carras during the journey. The grey robe also showed helplessness. It can only classify the shadow Mayer as a spirit like the earth essence, and more information is not known.
Interestingly, there are no shadow mays in the gathering place of elves and dwarves, and there are no shadow mays in the species that adopt a more natural lifestyle like lizards. Shadow mays seem to be an emerging species just born from human buildings.
But no matter where these creatures come from, Kalas has known their characteristics. The cat goblin calls out the sand sword, slowly approaches the shadow Mayer in the moonlight, and gently presses the blade on its body.
"Poof!" a cloud of smoke spewed from under the skirt of the shadow Mayer, with the same shadow color as its body. Carras looked unhappy, but he closed his eyes and took two steps forward, so that the black smoke wrapped his whole body.
A moment later, the smoke dispersed, and the body of the shadow Mayer was nearly one-third smaller than before. The just spitting seemed to cause serious loss to it, and even the color of the skin began to dim.
"Thank you, let''s go." carras''s expression showed that he still didn''t recover from the aftermath of the smoke, but he went between the window and the shadow Mayer and reached out his hand to block the light thrown at the shadow Mayer.
As soon as there was no light, the body of the shadow Mayer quickly opened, and the color gradually assimilated with the shadow on the ground. After a few seconds, it disappeared completely. The cat goblin took off his palm and the moonlight lit up the ground again. There was nothing.
In fact, the technology of capturing shadow mays empty handed is not Kairas''s discovery. After all, most of the time, shadow mays exist. Like now, sharp creatures may detect them at the first time when they enter the deserted residence, but they will adapt in the twinkling of an eye.
Even if the mind has relevant knowledge reserves and can clearly perceive them, the ability to integrate itself with the shadow makes most creatures unable to start with it. If you want to pull out the latent shadow Mayer empty handed, you need not only ability, decision, experience and luck.
But I don''t think many people will go to trouble with these creatures without a sense of existence. After all, whether they exist or not has no impact on people and animals.
Shadow mays are such monsters without a sense of existence. In fact, for creatures in the world, life is full of such existence, but they are often ignored because they can''t happen or have no intuitive influence.
Just like the monsters in the distant land, no matter how strange they are, they will not affect the livestock in the pig pen at the head of the village. The riots in another country are also difficult to touch the recipes of tomorrow.
The world is too large for individuals, so individuals are often described as having eyes without eyes and ears without hearing, as if they were enclosed in a sad limitation. But is that really the case? Or is it sad that there must be one between finite and infinite?
Carras doesn''t need to think about these problems. He has a purpose to catch the shadow mays in the room. Most of the habits of this creature are mysteries, but cheese has a major discovery through the experiment, that is, when it is forced to appear and stimulated, it will subconsciously eject a cloud of smoke, which is likely to be the gasification product of its digestive juice.
In other words, it''s like a person who subconsciously spits out his stomach acid when stimulated. It doesn''t sound very comfortable, does it? Fortunately, the digestive juice of shadow mays is not used to digest substances, or to digest substances visible to the naked eye. According to the research of cheese, the smoke of shadow mays is an excellent deodorant.
This deodorization is not to cover up the previous smell with another smell, nor to limit the divergence of smell by magic, but to eliminate it on the real physical level. According to the speculation of the grey robe, the food of the shadow mays is likely to be the residual biological smell in the abandoned buildings, that is, the popularity in the general sense.
By sucking these fine particles, shadow mays will accelerate the abandonment of a building, but this acceleration effect is not obvious, unless a large number of shadow mays live in a building at the same time. Therefore, the digestive juice of shadow mays can quickly digest fine particles, including odor. By bathing the smoke emitted by shadow mays, animals can eliminate body odor to the greatest extent.
Dogs, whether ordinary hounds or elves, track their prey mainly by smell. They can eliminate their own smell and have taken the lead in avoiding pursuit. Now that he has done this, it is obvious that Kellas has no intention to continue to wait in his cell for two reasons.
One is the attitude of the other party. Since he was caught, the people who imprisoned him have not given him any food and water, which shows that the other party does not want him to continue to maintain such vitality. After all, goblins also need to eat in this world. Hunger and thirst are enough to greatly reduce the action power of the agile swordsman. So considering his own situation, he can''t wait.
Second, he also saw the attitude of the other party from the people who guarded him. Indeed, he is the chief swordsman of the goblin King''s court. If any goblin force can catch him, it will either kill him on the spot, or at least place him in a very secure place or send senior jailers to guard him.
But at present, although the mage guarding him has the ability to send Elven dogs, he himself has not made the cat goblins feel threatened. If this is a large cell, maybe this man and his dogs have a large area to guard. Such care shows that the other party is not aware of who they have caught, so he is likely not to see the other party''s core figures.
Adding the two together, Kellas 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, unlike returning to the goblin world before, his absence may worry his companions, especially Taran, which is not acceptable to him.
In short, the smoke of the shadow Mayer has given him the capital to escape from prison. In addition, the previous riots have also found out the configuration of the guard. Although he still hesitated about the elf dog, the night gave him confidence. Darkness is a partner, shadow is a cloak, and he is the one who can walk through it.
The sword of sand extended outward along the nail of Kairas, slowly stretched out along the crack of the door, and gently hooked the bolt of the door.
"Come on, it''s time to find some excitement."
