Chapter 121: Phantom Worm
Although the forest at night always gives the impression of tranquility and darkness, the nocturnal creatures that are active in the misty forest can always destroy the quiet atmosphere in an instant.
After Rowan sent Qin Ying into the courtyard, he came to a meadow by the river by going in and out.
The river flows from west to east, sometimes turbulent, sometimes gentle, and the only constant is the quality of the water, which is always clear and clear.
Rowan confirmed the location of the three demon pets with a second vision, and walked slowly along the river.
The moon was reflected on the surface of the river, and the starlight twinkled in it, moving with him and accompanying him.
Not far away, there were several thick logs on the river, and two otter-like monsters were nestled against each other, chattering and doing shameful things.
Rowan didn't disturb their interest, and walked this way lightly, and finally saw the figures of the three demon pets.
There is an overly wide channel in which water from the river and underground tributaries accumulates to form a small lake.
On the lake, a group of phosphorescent creatures dance to the moon in the dark night.
"Woo ~ Wang!"
The barking of incomprehensible dogs suddenly sounded, and the group of glowing creatures seemed to be frightened, and suddenly shrunk into a ball, gathering in the center of the lake into a strange ball of light that shimmered with colorful phosphorescence.
But in the blink of an eye, as if they had forgotten their previous intimidation, they spread out like fireworks, and shimmering phosphorescent powder fell from the sky, flew in the air, and sprinkled on the surface of the lake.
Rowan couldn't help but look with bated breath and whispered praise.
But then, Beanie suddenly started running, and when it reached the river, it jumped up, and the force of the wind wrapped around the soles of its feet, allowing it to run in the air, as if it were walking on the ground!
It swooped straight for the glowing creature in the center of the lake!
"Whew!"
Like a wolf entering a flock, the glowing creatures scattered before it could pounce.
Beanie threw himself into the air, let out an angry growl, and flailed his claws desperately trying to pick up one or two glowing creatures, but he only scratched the wings of one of them before landing on the other side of the river.
Wind Swiftness is not a flying skill, and it cannot support it to fly in the air for long periods of time.
But Doudou seemed to be in touch with the glowing creatures, and then it leapt from the other side of the river, swooping down with its teeth and claws, this time biting the wings of a glowing creature and dragging it to the shore!
"Woo!"
Beanie opened his mouth and threw the glowing creature to the ground, then stepped on it with his front paws, finally letting out a smug bark.
Seeing this scene, Rowan walked over quickly.
Chopper and Slime, who were watching from the shore, noticed his arrival and immediately jumped and leaned over.
Rowan reached out to catch the slime that pounced on him, and let Chopper grab his trouser leg before he walked to Beanie's side with difficulty.
"Whew!"
Doudou looked up as if in merit, and Rowan rubbed its head in praise.
Then, he had a chance to take a closer look at the glowing creature!
The luminescent creature that had been trampled on struggled desperately, and the colorful phosphorus powder was constantly shaken out by it, and the phosphorus powder flashed its last light in the air, and then it fell to the ground, quickly dimming.
The luminescent creature faded from its phosphorescent light, allowing people to see it in its true form.
But it's a flying insect with a curly body like a butterfly!
The body of this flying insect is large and small, the upper body is chubby and round, and the lower body is quickly flattened, but when it reaches the tail, it curls upwards and curls into a spiral.
Add to that the two circular markings on its butterfly wings, and it looks like the kind of dragon blowing toy with a clown nose and glasses that Rowan played with when he was a child.
It's funny, but it's characteristic.
But Rowan didn't have a hobby of raising insects, he nodded to the eager Doudou, and Doudou lowered his head and bit the flying insect's head with his mouth wide open.
"Click".
The scene of the sap splashing did not appear, and the flying insect made a cracking sound in its mouth, shattering layer by layer like colorful glass, and finally turned into splintered light chips, flickering and fluttering in the air.
"Huh?"
Doudou tilted his head and looked at Rowan with a puzzled expression.
This is not the first time this picture has appeared, Rowan observed its movements through the black leather collar, and saw the same scene repeatedly, so he came to observe it himself.
He thought about it, then crouched down and picked up a little phosphorus powder from the ground.
The phosphor powder no longer glows, it is black, it is white, and it feels like salt crystals.
Rowan placed the phosphorus powder between his fingers, and then rubbed it vigorously, and the phosphorus powder was instantly crushed into finer particles, and then slipped off his fingertips.
"Although the phosphorus powder no longer glows, it does not disappear like the body of a flying insect...... Could it be that this phosphorus powder is the body of the flying insect? ”
Rowan pondered slightly, but he didn't feel like it.
In fact, those flying insects only fly on the lake, not only do they not threaten, but they are also quite ornamental, and they can be completely ignored.
But Doudou has been entangled with the flying insects here for a long time, obviously very unwilling, and Rowan is also very curious, and wants to find out what kind of creature this flying insect is?
So he scooped up the phosphorus powder from the ground, put it in his palm, handed it to Doudou's nose, and asked, "Why are you also a dog, you should be able to remember this taste?" ”
Doudou nodded with a stumbling eye.
Rowan smiled and said, "Then follow this taste to find its source." ”
"Wang!"
Doudou raised his front paws and pointed at the glowing flying insects on the surface of the lake, as if to say, isn't that there?
Luo Wen suddenly felt quite helpless, although Doudou's "wisdom" attribute has reached 4, but this "wisdom" attribute is a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's intelligence, mental strength, energy value and other various attributes related to the mind, rather than just referring to intelligence.
Therefore, although Rowan's current "wisdom" attribute is only 5, it can never be said that his intelligence is 1 point higher than that of a dog!
The current situation is a good reflection of the intelligence gap between one person and one dog.
Rowan explained very patiently: "You sniff and see if there is any smell of these phosphorus powder other than the group of flying insects on the lake?" ”
Doudou tilted his head and thought for a while, as if he finally understood what Rowan meant, and suddenly stood up excitedly and ran a few steps in the direction of the forest.
"Not by the river?"
Rowan was a little surprised, but still hugged the slime, let Chopper follow him, and then chased Doudou into the forest!
The dense foliage obscured the light of the bright moon, and the surrounding environment suddenly darkened, but the slime in his arms emitted a white light in time, illuminating the road ahead again.
A man, a dog, a deer and a lump of deer touched into the dense forest in the middle of the night.
[PS: Pushed next week, it will be put on the shelves at 12 noon next Friday to accept execution, I guess. 】
