Chapter 122 121. Shadow Puppet
Su Hong was stunned and suddenly remembered the human skeletons he saw on the snow.
Are these Dawn cultists eating people?
His eyes changed slightly, becoming a bit angry.
Anna raised her dark eyes and glanced at him, "Master needs alchemy potion to stay beautiful. Others are not interested in eating meat."
After Su Hong heard this, his anger that had just risen subsided a little.
Dawn cultists are all immortals and can survive even without eating or drinking. They really cannot commit cannibalism unless someone has a special habit of eating human flesh.
Recalling Melanie's rotten face, he felt a chill in his heart. In order to maintain her beauty, this woman had eaten countless human flesh and completely lost her sense of morality and ethics.
The shadow under the palm of Su Hong's right hand was about to move, "What about you, Anna, have you eaten yet?"
Anna lowered her head, "No, Anna is not qualified to eat."
Su Hong frowned slightly, "What does this mean? Aren't you Melanie's servant?"
"Yes, but I am just the master's plaything."
The girl stopped stirring, carefully climbed down from the high chair, and picked out the ingredients for the soup on the table.
Su Hong glanced behind him at the quiet body insect, and then slightly used the ability of the Eye of the Holy Candle to look at Anna. Only then did he realize that the girl's thin robe was covered with ugly purple-black scars, which looked like strips of scars. The leech lay on this thin body, sucking the blood greedily.
It seems that the girl named Anna is abused by Melanie on a daily basis.
He relaxed some of his vigilance towards the girl and asked, "Anna, where is this camp?"
"I don't know." The girl shook her head, "There is only snow here."
Su Hong didn't give up and continued to test, "Is Melanie still in the camp?"
"Yeah." Anna gave a definite answer.
She lowered her head, focusing entirely on the chopping board, skillfully mixing the colorful reagents, then plugging the cork and walking back.
Su Hong originally thought Anna was going to pour the potion into the soup, but unexpectedly she walked towards him.
Anna came to the cage, she knelt on the ground and put the potion into the cage.
Then he raised his head, moved his mouth, and said two words silently.
What did she want to say?
Before Su Hong came to her senses, she stood up and returned to the table to continue adjusting the potion.
Su Hong took the potion in his hand and looked at Anna's back thoughtfully.
He read it again according to the girl's mouth shape just now, and found that she seemed to be talking about "worms".
"insect?"
Su Hong's mind moved and he looked at the body insect spreading like tree roots on his back.
Can this potion get rid of body bugs?
He carefully opened the cork and dipped his fingers into some of the liquid. Before he could apply the liquid on his back, the body insect sensed the presence of the liquid. The bloodshot threads that spread to the back of his hand turned out to be like the tentacles of a snail being touched. It shrank back, and it took a while before it grew again.
It's really useful.
Su Hong stared at Anna's back and started thinking.
So what does she mean.
Want to save him?
But the two of them were unrelated, so why should he let the enemy's servants come to save him.
Unless Anna wants to get something from him.
Should I trust her?
Su Hong thinks he can give it a try.
Melanie shouldn't be so bored playing spy games with him. Even if Anna wants something else, as long as it's not too much, it doesn't matter if it satisfies her. The premise is that he can escape from this camp.
He was very curious about what could happen that would make the girl in front of him risk betraying Melanie to save him.
And is there any way she can rescue him under Melanie's eyes?
Su Hong observed the busy Anna. The girl adjusted the potion again and poured the potion into the pot.
After stirring for a while and waiting for the soup to fully absorb the essence of the potion, she rubbed her sleepy eyes. Under Su Hong's gaze, she picked up a carpet next to the cage, wrapped it around her thin body, and squatted by the fire. The side squinted his eyes.
Half an hour later, the campfire gradually extinguished, leaving only reddish charcoal. The light in the entire tent dimmed. There was a whistling wind outside, the tent trembled, and from time to time, some wind and snow would penetrate through the cracks in the door.
Only then did Su Hong confirm that Anna was indeed asleep.
After the girl gave him a bottle of potion, she made no other moves.
"Do you still have to rely on yourself?"
Su Hong felt something strange on his back and whispered: "Refining."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shell bug exploded on his back, leaving blood mist flowers on his skin, and then melted into his body.
"The refining was successful and I obtained the disaster talent (temporary): body parasitism."
"Body Parasitism (Exquisite +): You are a filthy insect born in a body, and can parasitize a body three times larger than your own size."
"The talent slot is full. The talents Shadow Weaver and Body Parasitism are found. The affinity is 27%. Can they be fused?"
Su Hong nodded subconsciously.
In the faint firelight, he saw his shadow twisting and spreading towards Anna.
He resisted the urge to be parasitic and checked the talent information.
[Disaster Talents (5/5): Infection of Will (Excellent), Shadow Weaver (Temporary), Eye of the Candle (Excellent +), Fiery Heart (Temporary), Hands of Frost (Temporary)]
"The fusion was successful and I obtained the calamity talent (temporary): Shadow Weaver."
"Shadow Weaver (rare): You are the king with the blood of shadows. You are familiar with the weirdness of shadows. You have understood the black sun magic of shadows. You can use the power of disaster to weave an existence beyond your own strength."
Su Hong sensed it carefully and found that the shadow he controlled had a unique ability - shadow puppet.
He is now able to inhabit other creatures with his shadow, controlling its full power, including the catastrophic ability.
The premise is that the host cannot resist, or the level cannot be higher than him.
If it can only parasitize creatures weaker than itself, then this ability is just icing on the cake for the shadowweaver.
But what's special about it is that as long as it is an undead creature, even if its consciousness has disappeared, it can parasitize and control his body.
In other words, death in the eyes of the undead is not within the scope of the ability. Even if the undead is dead, Su Hong can still use his ability to parasitize the undead's body and transform the undead into a shadow puppet.
When talking about the body of an undead creature, the dragon's spine winding like a mountain appeared in his mind.
If he could parasitize the giant dragon corpse at the foot of the giant vine, wouldn't he be able to transform into a giant dragon and walk sideways in the simulation?
"The potential of this ability is much greater than imagined."
"But the more important thing now is to explore this camp and think about how to escape."
Su Hong suppressed his messy thoughts, and the shadow spread outside the camp.
The sky outside was still dark, and there were dozens of tents located in the Dawn Order's camp.
Unlike his short tent that swayed in the wind and snow, the other tents were tall and sturdy, not afraid of the wind and snow at all.
