Chapter 117: The Vanishing Cocoon
There is something strange about evil spirits, and it stands to reason that an unturned perceptor is a useless mirror, and it is impossible to see evil spirits.
But Byron and Nick don't think Saul was wrong.
Anyway, whether Thor saw the hallucination or not, there are only two results: the presence of evil spirits and the absence of evil spirits.
"This is the entrance to the Valley of the Hanging Hands, and there can't be any evil spirits that are too powerful." Nick activated the perceptron and checked around again.
No spirits were found.
"But Thor, why did you put the perceptron on the ground?" Nick looked up strangely, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, "Is it because you're too short to reach?" ”
"Poof!"
Thor immediately turned his head angrily to look at Byron, but saw only Byron's calm face and innocent eyes.
Thor's gaze shifted to Byron's throat, and he swore that it had definitely cracked just now!
However, the problem of height is not something he can solve now, although he firmly believes that he will be able to grow to 1.8 meters.
"That's right." Thor returned to the point, he looked around again, made sure there were no head monsters around, and whispered to the two of them, "I just saw a lot...... A monster with only a head and two legs. But before you return, they are gone. ”
Thor lowered his voice again, "I didn't dare to alarm them, do you know what kind of monster it is?" ”
When he looked up, he saw Byron's face twitching.
On the other side, Nick's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was obvious fear in his eyes.
"Smack!" Nick suddenly gave himself a slap in the face, and he looked up with a somewhat hideous expression, "Those ...... Monsters, all gone now? ”
Seeing that Nick was not in the right state, Thor quickly nodded, "It's all gone, otherwise I wouldn't dare to ask you." ”
"I'll be alone for a while." Nick suddenly stood up and slipped into his tent.
In a few moments, there was a moan from the tent that covered its mouth so hard that it still leaked a little.
Byron was doing better, his throat split, "Good thing you didn't alarm them." It was a human-headed monster, and it was only possible to see them in the depths of the Valley of the Hanging Hands. ”
Byron sighed when he saw the confusion in Thor's eyes, "I didn't tell you about it before, because the more people who know about the existence of Human-headed monsters, the easier it is to meet them. I didn't expect you to meet it anyway. If you get their attention, they're likely to turn you into a Centaur as well. And you yourself will even forget that you were once a normal person. ”
So that's the case, no wonder Byron and Nick didn't say a word about such a dangerous monster.
"How many monsters did you see?"
“…… It's all over the place. ”
"Shhh ”
Nick inside responded vaguely.
Byron came back and instructed Thor, "Don't dismantle the instrument, just move it to the car, and we'll change places." ”
Fearing that the Centaur would return at any moment, Byron and Thor only brought important things with them, and simply gave up on the tent.
Except for a few books, Thor didn't bring much with him. But as soon as he picked up his backpack and walked out of the tent, his movements suddenly froze.
What about Nightmare Butterfly's cocoon?
Thor was observing the silver ball-like cocoon when he suddenly saw a human-headed monster.
After that, he didn't pay attention to the calloon in his hand because of his nervousness.
Looking back now, I can't remember if I put the cocoon away.
Thor quickly rummaged through his pockets and looked around on the ground, but he didn't see the silver ball.
"It's impossible to lose it, could it be that after falling to the ground, it was picked up by the head monster?"
Thor simply sat down, closed his eyes, and began to remember.
"No, the moment I saw the head monster, I didn't feel anything in my hand anymore, so I never remembered the nightmare butterfly's cocoon."
Sol shook his hand and slowly opened his eyes, "Yes, the cocoon is gone for a moment. ”
After becoming a wizard's apprentice, his memory is given a bonus by the spirit body, and there is no oolong who forgets where he left something last moment.
He can even focus on recalling the subtle things he has done.
So, Thor was pretty sure that he hadn't accidentally lost the cocoon, but that it had disappeared in an instant.
And at that moment, he didn't notice it at all, and didn't realize that something was wrong until he calmed down afterwards.
"Thor!"
Outside, Senior Byron has already begun to urge.
Thor glanced at the tent unwillingly, "Did you escape on your own, or was it stolen by another being?" ”
Damn, he hasn't started researching yet!
But it's not safe anymore.
Even the Byron senior, who was a third-level apprentice, was afraid.
Saul can't be taken lightly.
He hurried out of the tent, full of regret.
At this time, Nick finally recovered from his emotional out-of-control state, and also rushed back to the wood spider with his things. It's just that his hands are full of bruises, and I don't know if he was pinched by himself.
Thor already understands that Nick usually deliberately suppresses his mood changes because of his study of emotional witchcraft.
But if you can't help but laugh, or can't help but be afraid, there will be extreme emotional outbursts.
For example, laughing and smoking, or being so scared that you vomit.
This side effect is actually quite scary. Because it's okay in normal times, if you encounter extreme situations and can't deal with them calmly, you are likely to encounter danger.
Saul speculates that this may be one of the reasons why Nick has not been able to move up to the third level.
The Wood Spider activated, quickly leaving the already unsafe camp.
When Thor looked through the back window, he faintly saw a blackened human head at the bottom of the mountain.
He withdrew his gaze and pretended he hadn't seen anything.
Opposite Thor is the mirror of the Soul Wave Perceptor.
Because of the hurry, they did not disassemble the instrument, but directly moved the wood spider in its entirety.
As a result, the spacious carriage became crowded, and the three of them had to sit against the wall.
As soon as Thor saw the mirror, he remembered the dark shadow that had appeared inside, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he simply turned his head to avoid it.
However, the moment he looked away, he suddenly seemed to see a silver light.
He immediately turned his gaze back.
His blurred, distorted face was reflected in the mirror, but no silver light was visible.
"Am I mistaken?"
Thor leaned his face closer so that his distorted countenance became clearer in the mirror.
But I still didn't see anything wrong.
Just as Thor was about to lean back, he suddenly noticed that his left eye had lit up.
Thor was stunned and looked at the two people around him.
Because of the perceptron's obscurion, they shouldn't be able to see Thor's face.
Thor narrowed his eyes and entered a semi-immersive meditative state.
This time, Thor finally saw it.
In his left eye, a small silver ball appeared. The balls are covered with starlight and shine brightly.
Thor resisted the urge to rub his eyes and slowly lowered his head.
The nightmare butterfly's cocoon actually took the initiative to run into his eyes!
