The black shadow crawling out of the brass cylinder looked like a small snake, obediently wrapped around Qin Shaoyou's hand, and kept rubbing its head against Qin Shaoyou's hand.
Not to mention, it feels soft and quite comfortable.
It's just that Qin Shaoyou is a little unsure. Is the part used by the black shadow to rub his hand a head?
Because the black shadow was just a shadow and there was no outline of eyes, mouth or nose, Qin Shaoyou could only guess.
Moreover, when the black shadow first wrapped around Qin Shaoyou's hand, it did not give Qin Shaoyou any feeling. It was as if a shadow really fell on him. How could he feel?
It wasn't until the black shadow rubbed Qin Shaoyou's hand with what seemed to be his head that he felt such a soft touch.
From this point, Qin Shaoyou judged that the black shadow should be able to make its body - let's call it a body - freely transform between virtual shadow and entity.
As for the intimate attitude of the black shadow, Qin Shaoyou was a little worried at first. He felt that this thing was too familiar. If it had this kind of intimate attitude towards everyone, then if it was used against the enemy in the future, would it be attacking the enemy?
Or will he play with the enemy?
But soon, Qin Shaoyou gave up his worries in this regard.
Because he smelled the smell of the statue of the founder of Jiutiandang Demon in the dark shadow.
It seems that the shadow's intimacy with him is the result of the education of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
That's good. Qin Shaoyou doesn't have to worry about the black shadow becoming like a golden retriever or a husky. He can still play happily with enemies when he encounters them.
And since Heiying can understand people's speech, Qin Shaoyou has much less trouble and directly asks: "What are your abilities?"
When the black shadow heard Qin Shaoyou's inquiry, he immediately jumped down from his hand, jumped into the shadow of Qin Shaoyou on the ground, merged with it, and disappeared in an instant.
Not to mention, the black shadow is indeed quite capable. Qin Shaoyou used [Bright Eyes] but failed to find the black shadow in the shadows of himself and the surrounding street buildings.
After all, this black shadow is probably really a shadow, so when it blends into other shadows, there will be no flaws.
If we had to say there was a flaw, there was only one thing, and that was the smell of the statue of the founder of Jiutiandang Demon that remained on its body.
However, this kind of smell will dissipate over time. And let alone ordinary people, even those who are stronger than Qin Shaoyou may not have a nose as sensitive as his, which can lock the black shadow through smell.
"Okay, come out." Qin Shaoyou greeted.
Upon hearing this, the black shadow immediately floated out from the shadow on the ground, but it was not in Qin Shaoyou's shadow, but moved to the shadow of a house on the roadside.
It seems that the black shadow can not only hide in the shadow, but also travel freely among the connected shadows.
In an instant, Qin Shaoyou thought of various uses of black shadow.
Such as secret tracking, spying on intelligence, etc.
The only pity is that the black shadow cannot move too far away from the brass cylinder.
According to Qin Shaoyou's inquiries and tests, the maximum distance is only two or three miles.
Although the brass cylinder provided a place for the black shadow to live, it also placed some restrictions on it.
But then I thought about it, although the distance of two or three miles is a bit short, if used properly, the black shadow can still play many, big effects.
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but think in his heart that Dongchuan Hou Shizi did not send the black shadow to monitor them, probably because the black shadow could not leave the brass cylinder too far, and he did not feel comfortable handing this treasure to others.
use.
This made Qin Shaoyou unable to help but feel a little lucky and scared. Fortunately, Dongchuan Hou Shizi did not send a shadow to monitor them, otherwise their plan might be exposed.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Qin Shaoyou felt that if Prince Dongchuan Hou had sent a black shadow back then, although they were not easy to detect, they would not be able to hide it from the statue of the Patriarch of Jiutiandang Demon.
Therefore, the most likely result is that Heiying was captured by the Patriarch Statue and had Qin Shaoyou kill him instead of being surrendered and incorporated as he is now.
It seemed that it was the shadows that escaped the disaster, not these people.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but look at the black shadow a few more times.
What will the texture and taste of this shadow be like when you eat it?
I don't know if he noticed Qin Shaoyou's sudden appetite, but the shadow was so frightened that he shivered.
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou smiled and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, comforting him: "Don't be afraid, I won't eat you."
Unexpectedly, when the black shadow heard his comfort, he trembled even more violently.
Saying this while wiping your saliva is really not convincing at all. In other words, the black shadow can be obedient and not talkative, otherwise Qin Shaoyou will probably make a statement not to eat it...
Qin Shaoyou was a little embarrassed and could only change the subject: "Besides lurking in the shadows and walking, do you have any other abilities?"
He remembered the time when Dongchuan Hou Shizi faced his attack and used the black shadow as his trump card.
It can be seen from this that in addition to lurking and moving secretly, the black shadow should also have some means of attack.
Even its attack methods are either very powerful or very weird, otherwise Prince Dongchuan Hou would not have pinned his hope of survival on it at the moment of life and death.
Heiying also wanted to show off his abilities at this moment, so as not to be judged as "useless" by Qin Shaoyou and then eaten.
It jumped to the ground again, but this time it did not melt into the shadows on the roadside. Instead, it suddenly transformed into a sea urchin, with countless thorns sprouting from its body. It stabbed away quietly but extremely quickly.
Its latest shadow.
"Bang bang bang bang——"
Just when the thorn of the black shadow hit the shadow, a muffled sound suddenly came from a house on the roadside.
Qin Shaoyou followed the sound and saw that many more holes appeared out of thin air on the house.
He immediately understood that what was struck by the black shadow was the projection of this house.
So the black shadow can cause damage to the target by attacking the target's shadow?
Damn, this move is a bit powerful. If it is used in a sneak attack, it will easily cause a big loss.
Qin Shaoyou thought carefully about it. When Dongchuan Hou Shizi released the black shadow, it seemed to be running towards his own shadow. However, before the sneak attack could succeed, he was frightened by the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch and retracted into the brass cylinder.
inside.
Seeing that this guy was still demolishing buildings to prove himself, Qin Shaoyou hurriedly shouted to stop: "Okay, don't show it off, I already know your skills, don't really demolish other people's houses."
The black shadow stopped as instructed, transformed into a cute little snake again, and climbed onto Qin Shaoyou's wrist, no longer as fierce as before.
Looking at the house that was attacked by it, although it is not riddled with holes, there are many large and small holes. Although it has not collapsed, it is difficult to shelter from wind and rain.
That is to say, the shadow restrained its strength and did not build load-bearing beams and columns, otherwise the house would have collapsed long ago.
Heiying is very smart and knows that the statue of Qin Shaoyou and Jiutian Demon Patriarch is different from its previous owner, so when he showed his ability, he did not mess around, but reserved some strength to avoid hurting people and offending Qin Shaoyou and Jiutian.
The statue of the Patriarch of Dangmo is not happy.
Qin Shaoyou took out some silver coins from his arms. With a shake of his hand, the coins flew along the holes and into the house, which was regarded as compensation for the owner's maintenance.
Immediately, he touched the black shadow's head and turned to ask Taoist Master Zeng for advice.
"Senior Brother Zeng, do you know the origin of this black shadow?"
