Shadow pompom, to put it bluntly, is a juvenile shadow creature, with intelligence and behavior patterns similar to the larvae of elemental creatures such as fire spirit and thunder spirit, basically relying on instinct to grow by devouring shadows, that is to say, the shadows that were taken away by the residents of the Cook Islands before were not used to make shadow ghosts, but were used to feed this thing.

Mu You stretched out his hand and beckoned, and the shadow pom-pom below quickly popped out of the ripples again, glanced out vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no danger, it jumped onto his palm.

Mu You looked at the black ball in his hand with a strange face, it was hard to imagine that such a cute gadget would eventually be fed into a hideous 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 a continuation of some kind of life left after the shadow of the shadow god disappears, which is equivalent to the offspring laid before death, similar to the eggs of the queen ant.

In other words, even if it continues to be fed non-stop, it can only be upgraded to the 30th level cap at most, and without the Divine Soul Crystal, it can no longer break through the bottleneck of level 30.

Besides, this thing can only devour one shadow a day, and the person behind the scenes has hidden it in the Cook Islands for thousands of years in order to raise it, and has consumed hundreds of thousands of shadows of the people here before and after, before and after cultivating it to the scale of the previous shadow god, but Mu You doesn't have the time, and he doesn't have the interest in playing this kind of ultra-long-term cultivation.

But it doesn't matter, even a level 0 shadow pom-pom is already quite powerful.

Mu You looked at several of its abilities.

[Devouring Shadow: The Shadow Pom-pom is the nemesis of shadow creatures, which can separate the shadows of others from their bodies, and evolve themselves by devouring shadows and shadow ghosts (it is not effective for self-conscious shadow ghosts), and can be devoured at most once a day.] 】

[Shadow Transfer: The Shadow Pom-pom can graft an ownerless shadow or shadow ghost to anyone who has lost their shadow.] 】

[Shadow Ghost Purification: The Shadow Pompom removes the Shadow Ghost's hatred and tyranny, causing it to degenerate into a normal shadow (not effective against the Shadow Ghost who has given birth to self-consciousness.] 】

【Between the Shadows: The Shadow Pompom can carve out space in any shadow for itself to survive and walk. As the contractor of the Shadow Pom-pom, you can borrow its abilities to enter the Shadow Circle at any time. 】

[Shadow Binding: The Shadow Pom-pom can control the actions of shadows and ghosts within the line of sight, and the number of control depends on the level of the shadow pom-pom (it has no effect on the self-conscious ghosts), and can indirectly restrain the actions of the shadow owner by controlling the shadows. 】

Of the five abilities, the first three are for shadows and ghosts, and are rarely used in daily life.

The real core ability is undoubtedly the Shadow and the Shadow Bondage.

To put it bluntly, the shadow is to open up a special space in the shadow that ordinary people can't see, and this little guy sank into his shadow just now, and it should be this ability.

The note also mentions that he can also borrow this ability.

Mu You tries to connect the spirit to the shadow pom-pom.

In the next second, the shadow beneath his feet began to ripple, and his body began to slowly fall into the shadow as if it had fallen into a quagmire.

A few seconds later, Mu You's whole person completely sank into the shadow, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in a mysterious space.

This space is about three meters high, with the land of Dawn City at its feet and the ...... above three meters Lin Xue's soles?

Mu You looked confused, the 'ceiling' above his head now was a transparent barrier, through which he could directly see all the scenes on the ground.

At this time, Lin Xue was curiously squatting down and observing on the ground, as if looking for his traces, and behind Lin Xue, there was a dark and cloudy night sky.

Obviously, Lin Xue couldn't see him, in her perspective, he had suddenly sunk into the ground just now, and only his shadow was left on the ground.

And Mu You's perspective at this time is as if the entire ground has become a one-way glass, and he is lying under the ground, observing the outside world through this glass.

Mu You somewhat understood that the so-called shadow 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 can't see him, but he can observe the scene on the ground normally.

Coming back to his senses, Mu You continued to walk among the shadows, and the shadow pompom jumped up and down in front of him to lead the way.

And as he moved in the shadows, the shadows he left behind on the ground began to move.

Mu You found that although this space is very vast and there is almost no edge in sight, not all places can be visited.

Much of the space was covered in a black shadow, and the shadow was as impassable as an airtight wall, cutting the shadows into pieces, and he could only walk around in areas where there were no shadows.

Thinking of the layout on the ground again, Mu You quickly understood that the parts of these dark shadows were actually the parts of the ground that were illuminated by light and had no shadows.

In other words, he can only act where there is a shadow, whether it is the shadow of a person or the shadow of an object or a building.

If there is no shadow at all in a place, such as on the flat ground under the scorching sun, even if he enters the shadows, he will not be able to move, because the paths around him are blocked.

But if it's in a place full of shadows, this ability is powerful, it can be called elusive, and because he is not in a plane, others can't detect his existence at all, this is the real deep stealth!

Mu You immediately thought of one use of this ability: the Silent Library!

The mysterious library guarded by the Silent Beast, he spent a lot of effort last time, and in the battle of wits with the Silent Beast and the librarian, he went through a lot of thrills before sneaking in.

But with Kagema's abilities, it would be easy for him to sneak in there now!

After experiencing the effect of the shadows, Mu You's figure quickly emerged from the shadows and returned to the ground, continuing to check the ability of the shadow pom-pom.

Below is the last ability, the Shadow Bondage, which binds the shadow of others so that the opponent's body is also indirectly bound.

Mu You summoned the clone, stood still in front of him, and manipulated the shadow pom-pom to launch the shadow binding on the doppelganger's shadow, and then tried to move the clone.

As a result, the clone was really unable to move a bit, and not only that, as the shadow pom-pom changed the state of the shadow on the ground, the doppelganger was also forced to follow the shadow and make the same gesture of raising his hands.

Through the perspective of the doppelganger, Mu You can personally feel how powerful this control is: it can be said that in addition to the consciousness, the body no longer belongs to him at all.

His current double attribute under the blessing of vampires can't break this bondage, so it can be said that creatures below level 30 are basically impossible to resist this ability.

This ability is amazing, 100% strong control, and can even make the target become a kind of action as he wants, and there is no limit to the duration, as long as it is not lifted, it will always be charged, and it will be completely reduced to a marionette!

Of course, there are countermeasures.

First of all, this kind of control can only control the body, but it cannot control the flow of energy in the mind and body, if a person can cast spells without a wand and cast spells silently, even if they are charged, they can release magic to fight back.

Secondly, the level 0 shadow pom-pom can only control at most one target at the same time, so if there are more than one enemy on the side, even if one is controlled, others can also come to the rescue, such as releasing some light source spells to eliminate the shadow, the shadow binding is to control the body through the shadow, if there is no shadow, this ability will naturally not be effective.

Shadow Pom-pom's abilities are counted.

Overall, this little guy who is now only level 0, although he does not have direct combat ability, is a fairly useful support, and both abilities can be extremely useful in specific situations.

In addition, it is the improvement of Mu You itself.

In the process of attacking the Shadow God this time, he was the one with the highest output in the whole game, and he played nearly 500 times in a total of 10 seconds of cannons, with a total output of nearly 500,000!

The final gain, in addition to a little divine power, also has 5,000 HP, 5,000 reputation, and 640,000+ experience!

With this wave of experience, he directly jumped two levels in a row, from level 17 to level 19.

The current level situation is: 19 (157101/655360).

Originally, Mu You planned to directly use up the 'Book of Energy' and upgrade it to level 20 when he reached the nineteenth level.

As a result, I didn't expect this wave of experience to be too outrageous, and at level 19, it actually overflowed with 150,000+ experience.

This made Mu You a little entangled, if he used the Book of Energy now, he would directly waste the 150,000 experience, not to mention, at the moment, he was only 500,000 experience away from level 20.

This number was terrifying before, but with the Castle Lord's salary and the mechanic of double experience cards every day, this experience is no longer out of reach, and even if the timing is right, it only takes a day to farm!

So Mu You still gave up using the Book of Energy, and now he has learned that there are higher levels above level 30, and with the Divine Soul Crystal, the bottleneck is no longer a problem, and this thing simply waits for level 29 to use it to maximize its effect.

"Let's go, it's time to meet the man behind the scenes." Mu You threw the shadow pompom back into the shadow and turned his head towards Lin Xuedao.

"Hmm." Lin Xue nodded.

Immediately, the two jumped off Sky City one after another, and soon disappeared into the night.

……

While the two were silently acting.

In reality, the buzz on the Fool's Forum continues.

"What the hell happened to Dawn City? Why is there no news all of a sudden? ”

"I don't know, I heard that when I was about to defeat the Shadow God, I was wiped out by another wave of ......"

"My Dawn City, the Shadow God exploded another big move at the last moment...... The question is, why didn't I come back to life? ”

"Ibid., I'm still waiting for resurrection after I die, so hurry up and grab the last one, and the result is that I'm 'waiting for resurrection', and it will take a day to be resurrected......"

"Isn't it only creeps that delay resurrection? Is this a bug? ”

"Me too, I thought I had a bug, it turns out that everyone is the same, then I'm relieved!"

"Wait a minute...... If all the people are wiped out, then ...... What about the task? ”

One of the netizens' questions made the post instantly quiet.

When everyone thought about it carefully, their backs suddenly felt cold.

Tens of millions of people were wiped out, and the resurrection could not be delayed for a day, so in that day, the city of Dawn would not become an empty city?

With no one to defend the city, wouldn't the Shadow God be able to do whatever he wanted?

"At least there's the Octopus King, it should be fine, right?"

"That's right, the Shadow God is already at the end of the crossbow, the Octopus King can play a little bit and spell out the Shadow God!"

"Well, I think I saw that the Octopus King is also dead...... at this time, another Dawn player provided a message.

"What? Are you sure? ”

"Tell me upstairs!"

"I'm the magician who was in charge of watering behind the Octopus King, and the text that popped up just before I died, 'The Octopus King was badly injured and fell into the sea in a near-death state, and his life force was rapidly draining......"

"Although it doesn't directly say that the octopus king died, this kind of hint is probably not going to live......"

"Damn, isn't that all over?!"

Everyone else was shocked and desperate when they saw the news.

Even the octopus king was killed in seconds! What level is Shadow God's final ultimate?

What's more, as soon as the Octopus King died, Dawn City was completely turned into an empty city, and no one could stop the Shadow God......

Is Auroville really going to be destroyed because of this?

Just when countless people were nervous, suddenly, several prompts popped up in the game of all Dawn City players.

"The Shadow of the Shadow God has been slain, slain: Captain Ghost."

"The crisis in Auroville is over, the mission to protect Auroville is over, the war mode is canceled, and the city's facilities are back to normal operation."

"Task Reward Settlement ......"

……

There was also a series of output data, contribution lists, and the like, but no one cared about this at this time, everyone looked at the first prompt and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Huh? The city lord didn't die? ”

"Mission accomplished! We should be safe now, right? ”

"Definitely, the war mode has been canceled ......"

"Damn, I was almost scared to death, but fortunately there is a city lord, otherwise maybe Dawn City will really be lost!"

"Don't say much, City Lord Niu Pi!"

"Sure enough, you can always trust Captain Ghost!"

……

After confirming that this news was true, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and 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 in seconds, and the ghost captain could still survive that kind of outburst, and he completed the final harvest alone, what kind of strength is this?

Fortunately, Captain Ghost had already performed many miraculous performances before, and after everyone was surprised at this time, they were not too surprised, and came back to their senses, and then they began to pay attention to their respective rewards.

Although he was wiped out many times in the process, and in the end, he had to collectively delay his resurrection by one day, but compared to the reward, these efforts were definitely worth it.

In the process of destroying the gods, basically all the participants got a reward of more than 1,000 permanent lives, a little higher level, and those with a medium and high-level spell basically got 5000 lives, which is equivalent to 50 points of physique life! The total life of most people was only two or three thousand points, which more than tripled!

In short, after this mission, the average health of the residents of Dawn City has directly increased by a notch.

But the more important gain is to break through the bottleneck.

According to the statistics of a website after the incident, there were more than 15 million people in Dawn City this time, and they used real experience to cross the bottleneck of level 10 or 15, which made other city players extremely jealous.

Two major improvements in a row have completely widened the gap between Dawn City and other Sky Cities in terms of player strength.

At a time when the discussion is in full swing on this side of the planet.

On the Cook Islands, Mu You and Lin Xue have appeared in Limestone Village, at the door of Old Luke's house, where the entrance to the Society of the Dead is hidden.

The two ignored the old man's angry obstruction and broke directly into the paper mill.

After entering the door, Mu You went straight to the third row of containers in the north.

pushed the container open, but the bottom had been tightly filled, and there was no trace of the entrance.

The other party obviously sealed the entrance in advance, but it didn't matter, Mu You was very 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, blasted out.
