Chapter Seventy-Seven: Impulsiveness
Eyes, nose, ears, correspond to sight, smell and hearing. As the three most important senses besides touch, they appear almost invariably on the body of every common creature. Of course, due to the different living environments and needs, these three may also be abandoned or become extremely developed. But it should not be denied that they are all perceptions that are quite important for living beings in their survival. Therefore, when one sees a creature that does not use these three senses, or even does not rely on the sense of touch to perceive foreign objects, especially if this creature has the ability to act like a normal person, it will inevitably cause people to feel a sense of disbelief and confusion. Shadow Beasts are beings that can give people this feeling.
Resembling a common cat, it is actually a very different creature. First of all, its hair, or epidermis, is more suitable. Although at first glance the Shadow Beasts have similar short hairs on their bodies, a closer look reveals that they look more like the molluscs of plankton passing by in the currents of the sea. These tissues did indeed move in and out of the pores of the Shadow Beast, which made people shudder. But the funny thing is, as long as your mind isn't focused on those hairs, they look just like regular cat hair.
The second is its exposed organs, the Shadow Beast has ears and a mouth, which is probably the closest it has to a normal creature, but instead of two rows of teeth and a tongue in its mouth, it constantly wriggles into the cavity of the body and the barbs that make up for it. In this respect, it probably feeds more closely to insects than mammals. But what's really strange is why such a creature would have the shape of a cat? When you look at that face with only a mouth, you must feel uncomfortable.
"Ahh Although his right eye had long since been dysfunctional due to the sea plague, it was the most fragile organ in the human body, especially since it was so close to the brain, and when it was pierced into the eye socket by the strange cat tail, Saich thought that it would stick all the way into his skull, wrangling his brain. In this scream of fear, even the indifferent witch can be moved. As the person who brought Sach back, Jia Lun had already regarded this child as part of his assets in his heart, and now that his assets were destroyed in front of him, the witch who had just been depressed because of dereliction of duty only felt a nameless fire burst from her heart, and her right hand subconsciously touched the long whip on her waist.
"Garyn!Peg!" At that moment, another witch ran over from the corner of the corridor in a very embarrassed manner, and shouted after seeing the two companions standing at the door, "Oh no, there is a problem with my magic array, and the summoned shadow beast has run away!
The Shadow Beast in the room shook its ears and pointed its eyeless face in the direction of the door, apparently sensing the approach of its summoner. The monster demonstratively opened its mouth to the two witches in the doorway, revealing its sharp teeth, and then leaped backwards, disappearing into the shadows of the furniture as it had appeared. At this time, the yelling witch ran behind Garren and Peg, and unlike the two who had been trained in actual combat, the witch who summoned the shadow beast looked very bad, and when she stopped, she was already so tired that she could only gasp for breath with her hands on her knees.
Peg was the first to turn to look at the companion, and she saw a long, flaxen-colored hair tied in a twisted braid swaying up and down with its owner like a thick rope. The green-haired witch sighed, knowing the owner of the braid, and realizing that the Shadow Beast was not a trap set here by some witch who was hostile to Fioni and them, but purely by accident. For no other reason, this is a normal thing for the person in front of him. "Claire, it's happened. ”
"What?" the witch known as Claire looked up for a moment, her face with some light freckles. At this time, Jia Lun also turned around, and she unceremoniously reached out and grabbed the former's braid. After a few flickers of light, Claire's magic to protect herself failed, and she was forced to look directly into Garron's eyes, which were a pair of angry eyes.
"Your damn cat hurt my things, Claire. "As witches of the same generation, Galen and Claire are acquaintances. But this familiarity is not because of friendship, it is just that we have been trained together. And from that time on, Claire's performance impressed all her peers and elders. In a group of witches whose abilities and seniority are measured, a wizard as ungifted as Claire is no match for Galen, who doesn't need to show any respect for her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean that, Galen, I just made some improvements to the outer ring of the control ring, I thought it would make it work better...""That's enough!" Glenn rudely interrupted Claire's argument and threw her into the room in a fit of rage. Poor Claire fell to the ground, leaving Fioni and the mountain monster in the room unsure of what had happened. However, they soon see the other side of the witch group, and Claire, who falls to the ground, tries to defend Garron, but she is greeted by a slam on the abdomen. The screams caused by this moment even stopped Saihe for a while. The boy stared at the situation in front of him in a daze, his brain completely unable to function in pain.
If this happened to other witches, it wouldn't be surprising that Claire was disabled by the wrath of her companions when she was incapable of resisting. If you happen to run into a perverse witch like Coola or Kirly, you may encounter a fate that is worse than death. And no one in the witch clan will pity her, because she has made a mistake and is unable to pay it back, so even the great witch will acquiesce to this punishment as long as she does not take her life. The word excessive, never in the witch's dictionary. Thankfully, Karen is not such a person, and after watching Claire vomit on the ground with her stomach in her arms due to her heavy stomping, she feels quite strong remorse for her impulsive behavior. The failure of her mission to defend the fortress and her helplessness when encountering the Shadow Beast left the witch in a state of anxiety that she was not even aware of.
"It's your responsibility to heal him. Words like a verdict and a surrender came out of the mouth of a witch with a long whip coiled around her waist. After saying this, Jia Lun turned around and walked away quickly, not knowing whether to capture the fleeing shadow beast or to escape his own actions.
Peg wanted to stop Galen, she had something to inform her about after talking to the Great Witch. However, considering the current state of the latter, she wisely chose to remain silent for the time being. The green-haired witch looked at a companion in the room who was vomiting on her knees, a child with blood still bleeding from her eye socket, and the room where she was thrown away by the mountain monster and caused a series of collisions, and for the first time thought that Kiri might not be so difficult to get along with.
