Shadow Pom Ball, to put it bluntly, is a juvenile shadow creature. Its intelligence and behavioral patterns are similar to those of larvae of elemental creatures such as Fire Spirit and Thunder Spirit. It basically relies on instinct and grows by swallowing shadows. In other words, the Cook Islands before The shadows taken away from the residents were not used to make shadow ghosts, but were used to feed this thing.
Mu You stretched out his hand to wave, and the shadow pom-pom from the shadow below quickly emerged from the ripples again. He looked out vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no danger, he jumped onto his palm.
Mu You looked at the black ball in his hand with a strange expression. It was hard to imagine that such a cute gadget would eventually be fed into a ferocious monster like the Shadow of the Shadow God.
Of course, now that the original Shadow God has completely died and the soul crystals have been exploded, this little guy is just some kind of continuation of life left after the shadow of the Shadow God disappears. It is equivalent to the offspring born before death, similar to the queen ant egg. .
In other words, even if you continue to feed it, it can only be upgraded to the maximum level of 30. Without the soul crystal, it can no longer break through the bottleneck of level 30.
Moreover, this thing can only swallow one shadow a day. In order to raise it, the person behind the scenes has hidden it in the Cook Islands for thousands of years. He has consumed hundreds of thousands of shadows from people here before he can grow it into the shadow god it was before. However, Muyou doesn't have the time or the interest to play this kind of ultra-long-term development.
But it doesn't matter, even a level 0 shadow pom pom is already quite powerful.
Mu You looked at several of its ability descriptions.
[Swallowing shadows: The shadow pom-pom is the nemesis of shadow creatures. It can separate the shadows of others from their true bodies, and evolve themselves by swallowing shadows and shadow ghosts (not valid for shadow ghosts who have given birth to self-awareness). The maximum daily limit is Devour once. 】
[Shadow transfer: The shadow pom-pom can graft an ownerless shadow or shadow ghost to anyone who has lost their shadow. 】
[Shadow ghost purification: Shadow pom poms can eliminate the hatred and violence of shadow ghosts, causing them to degenerate into ordinary shadows (not valid for shadow ghosts that have given birth to self-awareness). 】
[Between Shadows: The shadow pom-pom can open up space in any shadow for itself to survive and walk. As the contractor of the shadow pom-pom, you can borrow its ability to enter the shadow room at any time. 】
[Shadow Binding: Shadow pom-poms can control the actions of shadows and shadow ghosts within the line of sight. The number controlled depends on the level of the shadow pom-poms (not valid for shadow ghosts who have given birth to self-awareness). By controlling shadows, Indirectly restrain the shadow master's actions. 】
Of the five abilities, the first three are aimed at shadows and shadow ghosts, and are rarely used in daily life.
The real core abilities are undoubtedly the Shadows and the Binding of Shadows.
To put it bluntly, Shadow is to open up a special space in the shadow that ordinary people cannot see. The little guy sank into his shadow just now, and it should be this ability.
The description also mentioned that he can also borrow this ability.
Mu You tries to connect his spirit to the shadow pom-pom.
The next second, the shadow under his feet began to ripple, and his body began to slowly fall into the shadow as if falling into a mire.
A few seconds later, Mu You completely sank into the shadow. When he opened his eyes again, he had appeared in a mysterious space.
This space is about three meters high. Underfoot is the land of Dawn City, and three meters above it is... Lin Xue's soles?
Mu You looked confused. The 'ceiling' above his head was a transparent barrier through which he could directly see all the scenes on the ground.
At this time, Lin Xue was squatting down curiously and looking at the ground, seemingly looking for his traces. Behind Lin Xue, there was a dark and cloudy night sky.
Obviously Lin Xue couldn't see him. From her perspective, he suddenly sank into the ground, leaving only his shadow on the ground.
Mu You's perspective at this time was as if the entire ground had become a piece of one-way glass. He was lying below the ground and observing the outside world through this piece of glass.
Mu You somewhat understood that the so-called shadow space was actually a three-dimensional space forcibly extended on the two-dimensional plane where the shadow was located.
He is actually in a two-dimensional world now, so people on the ground cannot see him, but he can observe the scene on the ground normally.
After coming back to his senses, Mu You continued to walk among the shadows, with the shadow pom-pom jumping in front of him to lead the way.
And when he moved among the shadows, the shadow he left behind on the ground also began to move.
Mu You discovered that although this space was very vast, with almost no edges visible, not all places could be reached.
Many spaces were covered by a black shadow. The black shadow was as impassable as an airtight wall, cutting the shadows into pieces. He could only move around in areas without shadows.
Thinking of the layout on the ground again, Mu You quickly understood that these dark shadows were actually the parts of the ground that were illuminated by light and had no shadows.
In other words, he can actually only move where there is a shadow, whether it is the shadow of a person or the shadow of an object or building.
If there are no shadows at all in a place, such as on the flat ground under the scorching sun, even if he enters between the shadows, he will not be able to transfer because the surrounding pathways are blocked.
But if you are in a place full of shadows, this ability is very powerful. It can be called a ghost. At the same time, because he is not in the same plane, others cannot detect his existence at all. This is true deep invisibility!
Mu You immediately thought of a use for this ability: the Silent Library!
In the mysterious library guarded by the silent beast, he spent a lot of effort last time. During the battle of wits with the silent beast and the librarian, he went through many dangers before sneaking in.
But with Kagema's ability, it will be easy for him to sneak in there now!
After experiencing the effect of the shadow, Mu You's figure quickly emerged from the shadow, returned to the ground, and continued to check the ability of the shadow pom-pom.
Next is the last ability, Shadow Binding, which binds other people's shadows to indirectly bind the other person's body.
Mu You summoned the clone, stood in front, controlled the shadow pom-pom to activate Shadow Binding on the shadow of the clone, and then tried to move the clone.
As expected, the clone couldn't move at all. Not only that, as the shadow pom-pom changed the state of the shadow on the ground, the clone was forced to follow the shadow and make the same move of raising both hands.
Through the perspective of the clone, Mu You can personally feel how powerful this kind of control is: it can be said that except for the fact that the consciousness is still there, the body no longer belongs to him at all.
His current double attributes under the blessing of vampires are unable to break this bondage, so it can be said that creatures below level 30 are basically impossible to resist this ability.
This ability is amazing. It is 100% controllable and can even make the target take various actions according to his will. There is no duration limit. As long as it is not released, he will be controlled and completely reduced to a puppet on a string!
Of course, there are countermeasures.
First of all, this kind of control can only control the body, but cannot control the thoughts and energy flow in the body. If a person can cast spells without a wand and cast spells silently, he can release magic to counterattack even if he is controlled.
Secondly, a level 0 shadow pom-pom can only control at most one target at the same time. Therefore, if there are multiple enemies, even if they control one, others can come to the rescue, such as releasing some light source spells to eliminate the shadow. Binding controls the body through the shadow. Without the shadow, this ability will naturally not be effective.
The inventory of Shadow Pom Pom's abilities is complete.
In general, this little guy who is only at level 0 now has no direct combat ability, but he is a very useful assistant. Both abilities can play a great role in certain situations.
In addition, there is the improvement of Muyou itself.
In the process of everyone's attack on the Shadow God, he was the one with the highest output in the game. He fired nearly 500 cannons every ten seconds, with a total output of nearly 500,000!
The final gain, in addition to a little divine power, is 5,000 health points, 5,000 reputation, and 640,000+ experience points!
With this wave of experience, he jumped two levels in a row, from level 17 to level 19.
The current level is: Level 19 (157101/655360).
Mu You originally planned to use the 'Book of Energy' directly when he reached level 19 to upgrade to level 20.
As a result, I didn't expect that this wave of experience gain was so outrageous. At level 19, it actually overflowed with 150,000+ experience.
This makes Mu You a little confused. If he uses the Book of Energy now, he will directly waste the 150,000 experience points. What's more, he is only 500,000 experience points away from level 20.
This number was terrifying before, but with the city lord’s salary and the mechanism of a double experience card every day, this amount of experience is no longer out of reach. If the time is right, it only takes one day. It can be brushed out!
So Mu You gave up using the Book of Energy. Now he has learned that there are higher levels above level 30. Moreover, with the Soul Crystal, the bottleneck is no longer a problem. He might as well wait until level 29 to use this thing. Maximize its effectiveness.
"Let's go, it's time to meet the person behind the scenes." Mu You threw the shadow pom-pom back into the shadow, turned to Lin Xuet and said.
"Yeah." Lin Xue nodded.
Then the two of them jumped off the Sky City one after another and quickly disappeared into the night.
…
When the two of them acted silently.
In reality, the heated discussion on the Fool Forum is still going on.
"What's going on in Dawn City? Why is there suddenly no news?"
"I don't know. I heard that when I was about to defeat the Shadow God, I was wiped out by another group..."
"I'm from Dawn City, and the Shadow God used another big move at the last moment... The question is, why wasn't I resurrected?"
"Same as above, after I died, I was still waiting to be resurrected. I quickly took one last shot, but the result showed me that I was 'waiting for resurrection' and it would take a day before I could be resurrected..."
"Isn't it true that only wild monsters delay resurrection? Is this a bug?"
"Me too, I thought I was the only one with the bug, but it turns out it's the same for everyone, so I'm relieved!"
"Wait a minute...if all the members are wiped out by the group, then...what about the mission?"
One of the netizens’ question caused the post to become silent for a moment.
When everyone thought about this matter carefully, a chill went down their backs.
Tens of millions of people were wiped out, and their resurrection was delayed for one day. Didn't Dawn City turn into an empty city within one day?
Without anyone to guard the city, wouldn't the Shadow God be able to do whatever he wants?
"At least the Octopus King is here, so everything should be fine, right?"
"That's right, the Shadow God is already at the end of his strength. It will be enough if Octopus King shows off a little and kills the Shadow God!"
"Well, I seem to see that King Octopus is dead..." At this time, another Auroville player provided a piece of information.
"What? Are you sure?"
"Tell us the details upstairs!"
"I am the magician who is responsible for watering the water behind the Octopus King. The text that popped up just before his death said, 'The Octopus King was seriously injured and fell into the sea in a dying state. His vitality was rapidly draining...'"
"Although it didn't directly say that King Octopus died, this kind of reminder probably means that he will not survive..."
"Holy crap, isn't that the end of it?!"
Everyone else was filled with horror and despair when they saw the news.
Even the Octopus King was killed instantly! What level is the Shadow God's final ultimate move?
More importantly, once the Octopus King died, Dawn City completely turned into an empty city, and no one could stop the Shadow God anymore...
Is Dawn City really going to be destroyed because of this?
Just when countless people were feeling uneasy, suddenly, several prompts popped up in the games of all Dawn City players.
"The Shadow of the Shadow God has been killed by the Ghost Captain."
"The crisis in Auroville has been resolved, the mission of protecting Auroville has ended, the war mode has been cancelled, and the city's facilities have returned to normal operation."
"The mission rewards are being settled..."
…
There is also a series of output data, contribution lists and other things below, but no one cares about this at this time. Everyone is looking at the first prompt and has not recovered for a long time.
"Huh? The city lord is not dead?"
"Mission accomplished! We should be safe now, right?"
"Sure, the war mode has been cancelled..."
"Damn, I was almost scared to death. Fortunately, the city lord is here, otherwise Dawn City might really be lost!"
"No more words, City Lord Niubi!"
"You can always trust Captain Ghost!"
…
After confirming that the news was true, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were all a little surprised by the strength of the ghost captain. You must know that in the end, even the Octopus King was killed instantly, and the ghost captain could actually survive such an explosion. , and completed the final harvest alone, what kind of strength is this?
Fortunately, Captain Ghost had performed many magical performances before. After everyone was surprised, they were not too surprised. When they came to their senses, they all started to pay attention to their respective rewards.
Although the group was wiped out many times during the process, and in the end the group had to be delayed for a day to resurrect, but compared to the rewards, these efforts are definitely worth it.
In the process of destroying gods, basically all participants received a reward of more than 1,000 points of permanent life. Those with slightly higher levels and those with intermediate and advanced spells basically received 5,000 points of life, which is equivalent to 50 points of physical fitness. life! The total life of most people was only two to three thousand points, but this time it has more than tripled!
In short, after this mission, the average health of Dawn City residents has directly increased by a level.
But the more important gain is to break through the bottleneck.
According to statistics from a certain website afterwards, there were more than 15 million people in Dawn City this time. They used real experience to cross the bottleneck of level 10 or 15, making players in other cities extremely jealous.
Two consecutive major improvements have completely widened the gap in player strength between Dawn City and other Sky City players.
When the discussion among players here on Earth is in full swing.
On the Cook Islands, Mu You and Lin Xue have already appeared in the Gray Rock Village, where the entrance to the Undead Society is hidden in front of Old Luke's house.
The two ignored the old man's angry obstruction and broke into the paper mill directly.
After entering the door, Mu You went straight to the third row of containers on the north side.
He pushed the container open, only to find that the bottom was completely blocked, with no trace of an entrance.
The other party had obviously sealed the entrance in advance, but it didn't matter. Mu You was sure that he could enter the Undead Society from here.
He directly switched to the robot form, carried the cannon, and after a simple charge, fired the next cannon.
