Chapter 1280 Monster?

That monster - of course Lily has not forgotten that thing. It was caught just a few days after she led the team into the black forest. It is a monster that can parasitize in the victim's spiritual world and rely on manipulating dreams and hallucinations. It is a disgusting thing that plays on people's hearts and looks like a ball of black meat that is constantly smoking. Calasius named it "Nightmare Shadow", and Lily is more accustomed to calling it "Smoky Big Meat". Anyway, it is the same, so It's just a disgusting and unlucky thing. If we hadn't kept it to claim credit for the landlord, our alpha wolf lady would have torn it apart and fed it to the wolves.

Because the monster has tricky and dangerous abilities, and its spiritual parasitic power is almost an insurmountable instant kill skill for those who are not determined, Lily has been keeping a close eye on it for many days and set up a careful monitoring system. Process: The monsters are guarded by furbolgs who cannot dream. The monsters are guaranteed to be locked by the imprisoned stone for 24 hours. Ordinary soldiers are prohibited from approaching the cage when they are in low spirits. If you want to check the status of the monster, you must ensure that there are three groups of people at the same time. At the scene, the first group of people is close to the cage, the second group of people pays attention to the situation of the first group of people from a distance, and the third group of people holds weapons to monitor the first and second groups from a farther place. Once the situation goes wrong, Killed on the spot - these strict monitoring procedures made the monster's power useless, and also allowed the guy to be safely detained until today.

But something seems to have gone wrong this time?

Lily stood up suddenly: "What happened?"

Next to him, Duke Ulysses also showed a nervous look: he had learned about the origin of the beast tide and the situation of the Holy Domain Investigation Team in the beast tide in the past two days. Naturally, he also knew about the "Caught from the Chaos Storm" "Shadow of Nightmare", as a logical Kolo man, he is extremely wary of anything coming from the depths of chaos. To be honest, if he can't defeat the wolf, he will never agree with the other party. He imprisoned that thing in the dungeon under his castle...

"Don't worry, it didn't run away. In fact, it's quite the opposite..." Carathius had a confused look on his face, "It looks a little weak."

"Weak?" Lily was stunned for a moment, "It was energetic all the way, why did it suddenly become weak?"

"Maybe it has something to do with the ray of light just now," the senior monk guessed. "That ray of light contains powerful power. It seems to be a high-level divine power of order. Although I don't know what is causing the miracle, it has great influence on chaos." Power mostly has influence.”

Lily blinked, feeling that what the dog-headed military advisor said made sense, so she slapped the table: "Let's go, take me to see the situation."

Duke Ulysses quickly took out his precious 157-year-old silver wine glass from under Lily's hand, only to find that it had been patted into a pancake...

Karasius nodded, but before the wolf left, he mentioned one more thing: "Head wolf, there is something else I want to tell you."

Lily turned to look at him: "Say."

"My subordinates and I will leave in a while." The senior monk told him frankly.

"Leave?" Lily was stunned, "Isn't the food here good?"

"Ahem..." The high-level monk suddenly coughed dryly. The alpha wolf is good at everything, but the nine-turn brain circuit often makes people unable to react. If you follow the alpha wolf's train of thought, you can do it nine times out of ten. He ducked and said, "That's not the problem. We came to Ansu with a mission, and we dare not neglect the important mission entrusted by His Majesty the Pope. And when we joined the team, we also said that after arriving at the Kingdom of Order, The investigation team will be able to move freely."

As he said that, the senior monk showed a strange expression on his face and reminded him in a low voice: "We also paid money to join the team..."

The implication is that the Sanctuary Investigation Team paid for their meals in the Beast Tide, and they did not come in by selling themselves out to work...

After being reminded like this, Lily immediately reacted. The husky girl scratched her chin and said, "Oh, you're right. Well, I can't stop you from leaving if you want. Anyway, I'm going to start in Talos next." I have found my landlord in the kingdom, and I probably won’t be able to take care of you at that time. By the way, when do you plan to leave?”

"No rush, no rush," Karasius waved his hand, "I just came to tell you in advance that the destination of the investigation team still needs to pass through more than half of the kingdom. We can still walk together for a while for the next part of the journey."

"Nightmare Shadow" was temporarily detained in the dungeon of Black Crow Fortress.

This border fortress is a bridgehead to resist the invasion of Chaos. In peacetime, Black Crow Fortress and its surrounding large wastelands and forests are the territory of the kingdom. Villages and towns of various sizes are distributed around the fortress. At that time, Black Crow Fortress was responsible for the territory. The role of the capital is that its dungeons are mostly used to imprison criminals in the territory. However, after the war breaks out, the population of the territory will immediately move towards the kingdom, and the political and economic center of the Black Crow Territory will also be moved closer to the inland. In another city, the dungeon of the fortress is free - in most cases, only a few soldiers who violate military discipline are imprisoned here, but the Black Blade Legion and the Black Crow Guard have strict disciplines, and the soldiers are mostly well-trained, and there are no cases of violations of military discipline. It is also extremely rare, so during the decade of Chaos Tides, the entire dungeon area will be almost empty.

This empty dungeon is just the right place to hold a nightmare monster that cannot be easily touched.

At least that's what Miss Alpha Wolf thinks, but it seems that Duke Ulysses, the commander of Black Crow Fortress, is not very happy...

The dark dungeon was built of solid granite, and molten copper liquid was poured between the boulders for reinforcement. On the stone walls, a blazing torch was inserted every few meters away. This flickering fire illuminated the entire dungeon. The outline is even more eerie and terrifying.

The Nightmare Shadow is located on the deepest level of the dungeon. There is only one single cell here. The circular cell is lined with an additional iron fence. Carathius hung more than a dozen imprisonment words on the iron fence. Stones, these stones are said to be enough to suppress the most ferocious monsters in Chaos.

The black lump of smoking meat was lying on the ground in the center of the cell, looking listless. Lily led her henchmen, Archduke Ulysses and Brother Carathius to the dungeon. The abnormality of the piece of meat can be seen at a glance.

It seems to have shrunk by at least one-third than before, and the black smoke that was constantly coming out of its interior has also been greatly reduced. It is almost thin enough to see the entity inside the black smoke, and the tentacle-like objects extending from the monster are also smaller. It lay crumpled on the straw mat as if it had lost all moisture, looking as if it was about to die.

Lily walked forward, used her claws to poke the lump of meat: "Hey, wake up, what's wrong with you?"

The piece of meat squirmed twice, and there were many pairs of dark red eyes in the black smoke that opened slightly, but then closed.

This is not in line with its usual style: if it had been left alone, it would have been scolding Lily.

"Are you really stunned by that light just now?" Lily's ears shook back and forth, and a glowing question mark seemed to appear on her head, "Why do I think I'm hungry? Anyway, I'm usually hungry. so."

The corner of Karasius's mouth twitched: "This monster doesn't eat at all, it doesn't even have a mouth - this is a magical creature. It should live by devouring the primitive magic energy floating in the air. Magic energy is everywhere in Colo Yes, how could it be hungry?"

"Oh," Lily touched her chin and continued to poke her "smoky meat" with her claws, "Then don't pretend to be dead. I'm not starving you. If you continue to pretend to be dead, I will poke you six times with my claws. hole!"

The monster twitched again, opened its eyes slightly, and issued a weak voice from a cloud of smoke: "Didn't you say before... that it would poke five holes at a time?"

Lily was stunned. Even with her thinking, she didn't expect this monster to discuss this with her, but she reacted instantly: "I can poke you again alone - you are the only one who talks nonsense!"

The monster didn't speak, it just shrank all its tentacles together, rolling and twitching continuously, looking extremely painful.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't scare people!" Lily became nervous when she saw this formation. She was not afraid of monsters attacking her. She was afraid that this thing would really die, so she wouldn't be able to show off in front of the landlord. , "I'm still leaving you to go back to the landlord to exchange for ribs!"

"Don't worry, I won't go back for the time being..." The monster suddenly became quiet after twitching violently for a while. At this time, the people around him suddenly realized something: this strange creature from chaos now actually showed rationality. and communication tendencies!

It speaks in a very organized manner and is actively communicating with Lily!

After Carathius realized this, he immediately wanted to remind the alpha wolf, but before he could speak, the smoke monster had already turned his attention: "That little guy over there...are you from the Holy Domain? A monk from the church. Sergeant? Bishop level?"

Karasius stared at the lump of meat on the ground. The lump of meat was now in a very strange state: "You...how do you know?"

"Go and remind your pope..." The monster didn't seem to hear Carathius's words. It just talked to itself, and a hoarse and gloomy voice came from the smoke and dust, "Lok Marton... is coming from the abyss of oblivion. Climb out, the wardens in ancient times have become corrupt..."

Karasius's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the monster with almost frightened eyes: "You... what on earth are you?"
