Chapter 60 Yeats's Weird Food

Mistweaver Elar accepted the order from the "Mist Messenger", escaped into the mist, and hurried to Eric's mansion.

Just like the previous times, the power of the mist was absorbed by the panel and a prompt popped up the moment it entered the body.

"In Phantom Wings, the gods cannot read the player's panel and identity. I should bring my own player template."

Yeats pondered for a moment.

My identity as a "player" will not be exposed to the gods, which is a good thing. It allows me to develop slowly with the advantage of being a prophet.

At the same time, give the gods some medicine... No, offer some delicious food to build good relationships!

"The God of Illusion? Mushroom soup should suit her taste."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "If I encounter a foggy day someday, I can offer him a pot of hallucinogenic mushroom soup. Maybe I can really become the messenger of the fog!"

The most urgent task is to get through the night of the lunar eclipse and solve the problem of the shadow beast.

"Diamond said that shadow beasts are semi-solid entities formed by the energy of shadows... so they can be eaten, right?"

Ye Zhi searched the knowledge about food in his mind and was slightly stunned.

It actually works.

Coated with egg powder and bread crumbs and deep-fried, it will leave a shadow when you bite it, and it is a molten filling! ——

The night was dark and windy.

On the night of the lunar eclipse, all light went out, and in the darkness one could hear the 'squeak' sound of arthropods moving.

Mistweaver Ellal was wrapped in a cloak, standing on the roof of a small tower. The silver-plated glass mask on his face suddenly emitted a colorful glare.

In an instant, the light illuminated a dense group of small shadow creatures, which poured out from the main entrance of the mansion and spread outward. The entire street was filled with these spider-like shadows.

Elar hissed, then silently jumped to the top of the mansion, moved along the wall to the second floor like a spider, and finally flipped into the windowsill.

The room was shrouded in darkness, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Ella groped forward along the wall, casually throwing down glass beads used to set up illusions, and suddenly became alert to Dasheng!

A sharp blade made of interwoven shadows chopped down along Ellard's body and hit the wooden floor. With the deep purple light of the sword, Ellard saw a white-haired man with thin cheekbones.

There was madness hidden in his dilated pupils, and his voice was ice-cold.

"You, a cultist who believes in the shadows, dare to break into my home? Then die!"

Ellar dodged the thin man's shadowy sword, speechless, and couldn't help but ask: "Look at what you summoned? You still dare to call me a cultist?"

Eric said: "Crabs can lay millions of crab eggs at a time. These little creatures carry life and hope. It was the Goddess of Youth who asked me to summon them into this world!"

Ellal: (°Д°) So that large group outside are not shadow spiders, but shadow crabs?

Following Yeats' instructions, Ellar fought and retreated, dragging Eric out of the mansion. Two mages above the third ring fought in the air above the street with flying magic. Colorful beams and purple shadows intertwined with each other. The aftermath of the battle between the mages impacted the shadow beasts. A large number of shadow crabs were crushed by magic power, and the crackling sound was repeated, which made people's scalps numb.

On the other side of the mansion, Ye Zhi and others had gathered.

The little squirrel had already learned about Yeats's deception of the Mist believers, and was laughing with joy.

Yeats will become a great man in the future!

Ye Zhi, Gray, and Hilde quietly came to the door of the warehouse behind the mansion under the "invisibility illusion" cast by Squirrel Diamond.

Small spider-like shadow beasts kept pouring out from the crack in the door. They did not notice Ye Zhi and the others, and crawled towards the outside of the mansion.

Ye Zhi frowned and whispered:

"I hate spiders, especially the big ones."

Spider-like monsters often appear in fantasy games. Ye Zhi suffers a lot every time he fights them!

Hild glanced at Ye Zhi, then looked at the main entrance of the warehouse: "If you encounter a shadow spider later, just hide behind me."

Ye Zhi: |ω`) This is the sense of security that the red-haired big sister brings me! Gray: "What if it's a crab?"

Ye Zhi's brows relaxed: "Crabs are fine."

At this time, Hildreth opened the door of the warehouse, and the ground was full of small crabs made of shadows. They kept crawling out from a staircase leading to the underground, and then rushed towards the door.

Yeats couldn't help but think of a creature called the Christmas Island red crab, which migrates to the seaside in large groups of millions every year in order to lay crab eggs in the sea water.

Taking advantage of the night of the lunar eclipse, this group of shadow beasts will crawl towards the temple of the Goddess of Art, and eventually wrap the entire temple, desecrating the will of the Goddess of Youth and transforming it into the divine power of the Goddess of Dark Night.

Ye Zhi's eyes fixed.

Don’t be afraid, goddess of youth, just let me hug your thighs afterwards!

Whoosh! Hildreth raised his sword and slashed it, and a cold mist filled the entire room. The shadow crabs were covered with a layer of frost, and their movements gradually slowed down. The three of them quickly rushed to the stairs and found that the shadow crabs became fewer and fewer as they went underground.

"There is an illusion wall here, swing your sword towards it!"

Following the instructions of the squirrel's tooth, Ye Zhi stabbed the stone wall with a sword. The illusion gradually disappeared, and an alchemy room appeared before everyone.

The ground was painted with the emblem of the goddess of darkness, a deep black sun. All around, a large number of shadows slowly flowed and gathered into a deep purple "pond", and the sense of oppression in the dark and quiet room quickly rose.

Suddenly, a thick claw rushed out from the shadows, fixed itself on a corner of the magic circle, and drove the body of this huge shadow beast out of the summoning circle.

The shell of the giant shadow creature absorbed all the light, leaving only two cold red lights in its eyes. Its spider-like limbs were extremely thick, and it wielded a pair of giant shadow pincers! Hildreth was puzzled: "Spider?"

Gray was shocked and said, "Crab!"

Yeats corrected: "It's a coconut crab!"

"Kill it!" said the drill tooth.

This shadow coconut crab was about three rings horizontal. Hildreth drew his sword to meet the enemy, and instantly slashed out with a hurricane-like continuous sword force! The sword wind intertwined into a net, and fell on the body of the shadow coconut crab, but it only made the shadow on its body flow faster, as if it didn't hurt.

The shadow coconut crab swung its giant claws, and the big claws with surging shadows swung towards Ye Zhi. Grey threw out her hand axe to block the giant claws. With a crisp "ding" sound, the hand axe returned to Grey's hand.

Yeats: "Gray, give me your hand and relax your body!"

Grey was stunned and handed her hand to Yeats. He held her hand, and a gentle yet inspiring power surged into Grey's body.

Inspiring spells, heroics!

After being strengthened, Gray's morale was boosted, and she picked up a hand axe and joined the battle. Although her strength was not as good as that of Hildreth, her combat skills were not bad, and she and Hildreth worked together to beat the shadow coconut crab back again and again.

The eyes of the Shadow Coconut Crab emitted an increasingly cold red light, as if it was planning some powerful move.

Seeing this, Ye Zhi silently chanted a spell, using the Sword of Spirit Shield as a spellcasting tool. A blinding spell turned into a black shadow arrow and shot into the eyes of the Shadow Coconut Crab!

Zuanya was a little surprised.

Shadow creatures should be immune to blindness! But why did Ye Zhi's blindness work? Finally, under the moonlight beam released by the flapping of the snowy owl's wings, the shadow coconut crab finally fell to the ground, like a piece of melting butter, and the shadow on its body gradually flowed into the magic circle.

Bang! Zuanya kicked the core of the magic circle and shattered it. He glanced at Ye Zhi who was cutting something with a sword on the shadow coconut crab and asked curiously, "Ye Zhi, what are you doing?"

"Collecting food."

Ye Zhi held a shadow coconut crab claw in his hand and said happily: "Didn't you say that shadow creatures are semi-solid? So it makes sense that shadow beasts can also be made into delicacies."

Diamond: ??? Making shadow beasts into delicacies? This is too weird! There was a strange look on Hilde's delicate face, and he was hesitant to speak.

Has Yeats's knowledge of food reached such a bizarre level?

Gray crossed her arms, looking unsurprised, and her tone was a little curious: "So, are you planning to sacrifice food to the gods like you did last time?"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"I actually wanted to try it myself to see what a shadow beast tastes like." Ye Zhi licked the corner of his mouth.

For a cook, theoretical knowledge alone is not enough, tasting food is also an important part of practice! Gray was stunned for a long time, and looked at the squirrel: "Ye Zhi...isn't contaminated by the shadow?"

The squirrel shook his head oddly: "No."

This shows that Ye Zhi really wants to eat the shadow beast! It is more terrible than being contaminated by the shadow! Ye Zhi found a wooden bowl in the alchemy room and dug out the black jelly-like shadow crab meat from the claws of the shadow coconut crab.

Then he cut a slit in the bread he carried with him and put the crab meat in it. He asked Hilde to use the "Make Bonfire" spell to help him build a fire and bake the crab meat on the fire.

Everyone stood behind Ye Zhi in silence, watching the shadow crab meat gradually change from black to dark purple. They felt strange. Could this thing really be roasted? Every profession has its own specialty.

Zuanya had to admit that Ye Zhi was probably better at feasting. He silently held his forehead and said helplessly: "Anyway, I will cooperate with Snow Owl to pray to the moonlight... For your contribution in fighting the dark night, you may even be able to get a favor from the moonlight!"

*Castle Fortress.

In the office, Frost Whisperer Philus suddenly frowned, sensing the strange atmosphere, and lightly tapped his staff to fly out of the window.

Flying, as a third-level spell, is not easy to learn, and can only be mastered by fourth-level mages. As an elite member of the Magic Guild, Philus has mastered the flying technique to perfection.

Above the city, two fighting mages immediately caught his attention, one shrouded in mist, the other wrapped in shadows.

"Two cultists." Philus sneered, waving his staff, and two huge ice cones rushed towards the two people as if they were searching for enemies.

The Shadow Mage was suddenly startled and looked back at the noble area. He was caught off guard and an ice spike pierced his chest.

The Mist Mage, wearing a mask, tried to escape, but Philus immediately chased him, ignoring the seriously injured Shadow Mage.

Under the night, Eric's face was as pale as paper. He covered his chest and said hoarsely, "No... I must persist until the end of the dark night!"

Boom! Eric flew back to the mansion, rushed into the basement, and stumbled open the door to the alchemy room.

In front of him, three shadowy figures suddenly stood up, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Eric's eyes showed disgust, and his gaze suddenly fell on the bread in the hand of one of the shadow men, and his eyes suddenly widened.

The bread is filled with snow-white crab meat, covered with a layer of cheese and garnished with vanilla crumbs.

Eric, who hadn't eaten for nearly a week, saw normal food again in his world. He asked with a trembling voice, "What... is that in your hand?"

The Shadow Man tilted his head and immediately said, "Crab Bread, what's wrong?"

Eric covered the wound on his abdomen and said with difficulty: "Before I die...can you let me have a bite of...this food?"

The "shadow men" looked at each other, and then the leader threw the bread on the ground.

Ye Zhi signaled with her eyes that Hildreth should seize the opportunity to take action, and she nodded slightly.

Eric crawled forward, picked up the bread with both hands, and took a bite.

The meat is tender and juicy, and the crab meat is chewy.

The endless sharp noise in my ears suddenly stopped completely.

Two lines of tears silently slid down Eric's eyes, and a satisfied smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Thank you... stranger, at least in the last moments of my life... I found peace."

Boom! Before Hildreth could make a move, Eric fell to the ground, completely dead.

"I told you that your shadow crab meat is poisonous, right?"

Gray looked at Ye Zhi and said, "Look, one of them died from eating this!"

Ye Zhi twitched his lips and said, "He was obviously seriously injured and bled to death!"

Hildre said calmly: "In my opinion, he is willing to face death."

Drilling shock.

Yeats's food is...so delicious?!

At this time, the entire basement shook violently, lime seeped from the ceiling, and there were signs of collapse.

"Get out of here!" said Zuanya, "The will of the dark night is coming!"

Hildreth reacted quickly, grabbing Ye Zhi with one hand and Gray with the other, and ran away at great strides.

Above Winter Lake City, the night was pitch black, and a purple crack slowly appeared.

The crack slowly opened like an eyelid, revealing a rotating purple eye, the will of the Goddess of Darkness, overlooking the entire city!

Yeats came to the ground, looked at the night sky, and remembered a famous line:

Let me check up!

The next moment, Ye Zhi's face changed drastically and the hair on his body stood up.

She really looked over here! (End of this chapter)
