Chapter 13: Strange Shadow Creature

Chen Xi subconsciously canceled the consciousness connection to the light cluster, the picture disappeared immediately, and the frightened mind slowly quieted down.

After coming back to his senses, Chen Xi found that he had goosebumps on his arms.

What are you kidding, as soon as it comes up, it will summon it to eternal life, Chen Xi is afraid that it will be swallowed in the next second.

After gaining experience, Chen Xi closed his eyes and sensed more points of light.

Except for the light cluster with a diameter of ten meters that was the most dazzling, the larger light clusters were all four or five meters in diameter, which was far away from him, and the psychological distance was ten meters away.

What remained were clusters of light with a diameter of less than one meter, and they lingered within five meters around Chen Xi.

Small points of light a few centimeters in size were like fireflies in the dark night, circling around the edge of the summoning array, waiting for Chen Xi's presence.

Chen Xi had a psychological shadow this time, and he didn't dare to pick a large light cluster to be addicted, so he directly picked a light point with a diameter of one centimeter to connect his consciousness.

Gray wilderness, gloomy weather, black river.

A pitch-black shadow swayed across the wilderness, with four hairy legs, a head like a dog's head, a tail like a chain, and a whole body of plush.

It prostrates on its feet in a two-dimensional posture, silently, like an assassin living in the shadows.

This was the first time he had seen a shadow that moved on its own, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

And he also found that the consciousness of this shadow was very ignorant, it was a newborn baby, and he only had the joy of running, eating, and eating in his heart, as well as a strong curiosity.

It was this curiosity, coupled with its own strange characteristics, that happened to be chosen by the summoning array.

"With such a simple mind, it should be easy to control." When Chen Xi thought of this, his heart moved.

Chen Xi tried to express friendly faith in this strange dog-like shadow.

The shadow of the chain-tailed dog immediately looked over, barked a few times, and made an excited sound, wanting to play with Chen Xi.

Faced with such a simple and straightforward mind, Chen Xi was even more moved, "Why don't I try to summon one?" ”

This summoning array summons not only powerful creatures, but also weak creatures.

Originally, he didn't dare to summon it, but now it was possible.

This weak newborn is very suitable for a novice summoner like Chen Xi.

Newborns do not have strong means of attack, nor do they have a strong sense of aggression, and they are easy to control.

After a while, Chen Xi comforted the strange tail of the puppy and said that he would summon it later.

The shadow happily spun in circles and stood up from its position close to the ground, turning into a gray shadow-like sheet with its chain-like tail wagging from side to side, looking strange.

Such a scene is like a dog's billboard, which was originally in a fallen state, but now it is standing up again.

However, Chen Xi didn't have a brain to do it, there were still a few minutes before the end of the summoning array, there were so many small light spots, shop around and take your time.

Exiting the conscious connection, he looked at the other small dots of light.

The next point of light.

It's still that endless gray wilderness, and the weather overhead is always in a gloomy state.

The colorless black river swayed by, and a shadow slipped over, turning its head and fleeing back as it was about to crash into the black river.

It is a shadow of two legs and two hands, and his body looks like a human, with a humanoid upper body, humanoid legs, and humanoid arms.

But he doesn't have a head!

Chen Xi felt a little frightened and retreated.

And the shadow sensed that Chen Xi's will had descended here, and exclaimed:

"Are you a summoner, hurry up and summon me, I don't want to stay here, it's too dark here, there are people of the same kind who want to eat me every day, and I can help you eat other people's shadows, be your shadow thugs."

The humanoid shadow speaks another language, the pronunciation of this language is rather strange, and Chen Xi can't understand it, but with the automatic translation function of the summoning array, understanding is not a problem.

Hearing the shadow of eating, Chen Xi's heart moved, "If you eat someone else's shadow, what will happen to that person?" ”

Hearing this, the headless figure was stunned for a moment, "You're not a summoner, why don't you even know the common sense of basic summons?" ”

After that, the shadow muttered to himself, "No, the summoning array did choose me, and you are the real summoner." But you chose me without using the summoning guide, could it be a new type of summoning array? ”

Chen Xi remained silent, listening to this shadow muttering in strange language for a long time, and already had a preliminary understanding of the profession of summoner in his heart.

First of all, summoners summon all kinds of creatures, and there are summoning guides.

For example, the last time the black-robed girl summoned Chen Xi, the summoning guide she used was: "An intelligent life from an ordinary country in the unknown world, a human-like appearance, a weak body, and you who are haunted by bad luck." ”

And Chen Xi's abnormal summoning array didn't even need a guiding word, domineeringly connecting him with thousands of unknown beings who were eager to be summoned.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter! Please summon me, I am useful! The headless shadow suddenly said loudly.

"Huh?" Chen Xi made a puzzled voice.

The headless shadow knew what Chen Xi meant, and began to show Chen Xi his value.

"If I eat someone else's shadow, that person will be in a state of malaise for a short time."

"Why languishing?" Chen Xi asked rhetorically.

"You can understand that if I eat the shadow, I will suck his energy. Of course, the shadow is recoverable, and as soon as he recovers his energy, the shadow will regenerate. In addition, I can usually hide in your shadow, even if I don't eat the shadow, I can survive forever, and your energy will not weaken, so the cost of raising me is very low. ”

When Chen Xi heard this, he said tentatively: "But you only have this role, I have a better choice than you." ”

"Don't, I'm still useful! If you want to kill an enemy but don't want to do it yourself, I can help you, we shadow creatures are the ones who kill people in the dark. But my current strength is too weak to forcibly interfere with matter, if you can wait until my shadow devouring others slowly grows, it will be much smoother to help you kill. ”

After listening, Chen Xi shook his head and refused his request.

"What if you grow up and turn around and kill me?"

"Forehead ......"

The headless shadow was stuck for a while, and after two seconds, he said: "The summoning array has a contract, I will never violate the contract, master, please rest assured!" ”

"Oh, really?" When Chen Xi heard this, his words changed abruptly, and his tone became intriguing, "A few minutes ago, an old man who wanted to be summoned by me told me that he was much more reliable than those creatures who turned around and ate me after coming, how do you think this sentence should be explained?" ”

After Chen Xi's words came out, the scene was silent for a while, and an invisible atmosphere of slaughter soaked the land.
