Dawn of the Grey Tower

The dark underground space, huge bones, and a large group of shell creatures crawling down the bones. Such a scene will not appear interesting to anyone's eyes, and normal people's reactions are nothing more than two kinds. Either be shocked by this scene, let fear engulf your consciousness, and become a group of things that only know to make meaningless sounds in place; or, you can still maintain a certain degree of reason and quickly escape from these things Decide. But the witches and the Kraken are not ordinary people, and their supernormality is precisely that they have seen too many similar scenes. After the initial shock and psychological fluctuations faded, the two quickly recovered their calm minds.

They slowly backed away, trying to keep away from the things that had peeled off the huge pelvis. And this attempt was soon proved to be unnecessary, because the goals of the barnacles did not seem to be at the beginning of the fight. In general, barnacles cannot move by their own power in the air environment, and their muscle tissue and body structure do not allow this. Therefore, the barnacles that appear here are different from ordinary varieties. The evidence is that during the climbing process, they extended an organ similar to a worm pseudopod from the shell, and at the same time retracted the suction cup used to attach to other objects. . Numerous green-gray shells make up this tide-like team, with a large number of members and an orderly progression.

The witch and the Kraken glanced at each other. They didn't spend much time making a decision. They wanted to see where the team was going and what they were doing. Simply, the perception of these barnacles is not keen, they have not found their movements have been stared at by two tall shellless creatures, and still follow the predetermined route. It is not difficult to find in this progress that the barnacle at the front of the team has a larger body than the barnacle following it, and their shells and the yellowish muscles extending out of the shell are several times larger than the latter. At the same time, Fetis also observed that the shells of the largest barnacles had different colors from other similar ones. It's not the color of the shell itself, it looks more like it is painted with mineral powder from nearby rocks, and it feels like oil paint on the face. This discovery aggravated the witch's curiosity, and she began to make a guess, but she was not sure yet.

The speed of the barnacle team can't be said to be fast, it is probably similar to the normal walking speed of people, and may be slower. But in terms of their size, such speed is definitely high speed. According to Fioni's calculation of his own heartbeat, this team has advanced for three hours since leaving the pelvis, without any rest during this period. When they finally stopped, the two discovered that their destination was not far from where the team rested. It was the boundary of a salt line, and perhaps the chain reaction caused by the collapse of the vertebrae before. Several stones just fell on the salt line, covering this trace. Fortunately, the toad monsters have gathered to Losa and their side, this breakthrough has not yet been found.

"Gada!" The leading barnacle hit the stone in front of it with its own shell, and then climbed up. The other barnacles stopped silently, as if asleep. Fioni and Phettis were confused by the scene in front of them. According to their ideas, these barnacles obviously realized that the salt line was to protect themselves from being attacked by toad monsters, so the purpose of their trip The stones covering the salt line should be removed. However, the witch soon realized another thing. According to her knowledge, these salt lines are time-sensitive. So how did the barnacles grasp the nature of the salt line in this short time, and even organized such a special one A team to protect the damaged salt line? unless…

"The deep sea is below, this is the first time I have seen it." Fioni's low voice exclaimed and pulled back Fetis's thoughts. She glared at the Kraken, blaming him for not being careful. But when the witch looked at the barnacles herself, she almost made an exclamation. The reason is simple. The barnacle crawling on the rock, I don't know when it made an inexplicable line on the stone. And these traces are undoubtedly some kind of text that was not known before. Barnacles can write? No, there is text in the barnacle! This fact is even more incredible than the previous visual impact. It feels like accidentally turning over a stone, and it turns out that the ants below are talking about quantum mechanics in a serious way.

There is one thing that Fioni and Fetis can now fully affirm that these things in front of them, no matter how similar in appearance to barnacles, they are definitely not that ignorant crustacean. With this idea, they are much easier to accept when they accept the next action of the barnacles. They saw that after the barnacles on the rock stopped writing their own secretions, the still barnacles began to spontaneously group and approach the gravel. It took little time for the gravel to be covered with barnacles, and it was at this time that several unpleasant shadows appeared in the darkness not far away. That is a monster like a toad.

"What should I do?" Fioni asked his companion nervously. He began to like the barnacles with wisdom a little, and he didn't want these interesting crustaceans to be hurt like this.

"Wait a minute, I want to see if they have the ability to fight." Fetis also has a strong interest in barnacles, but the witch's way of thinking makes her more interested in understanding rather than knowing these magical creatures. So she didn't plan to help immediately, although the number of toad monsters that she could see in the field of view was not large, which was completely within the range that she and Fioni could handle. But the witch wants to observe the reaction of these barnacles when they encounter enemies ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Premonition tells her that it will be very interesting.

Toad monsters did not hesitate for too long. Although they will be restored to clear water when they cross the salt line, obviously the salt line covered by the stone cannot play this role. These monsters are slowly approaching the gap of the salt line. Close to the barnacles on the stones. Barnacles seem to have found a bad-hearted approacher, they are close together, facing the enemy with a shell, in this way trying to make the toad strange and retreat. But the toad monster's determination was not dispelled so easily. The first toad monster tried to reach out and touch a barnacle, which was a smaller barnacle. Although this little guy's sucker was stuck to the stone, but its strength was still not comparable to the monster born from the bone marrow. With a "slap", it was pulled up.

The toad blamed the side under the shell of the small barnacle at himself, and seemed to hesitate to eat such unseen food. Suddenly, a stream of water was ejected from the small barnacle cavity and hit the monster's eyes. The latter immediately uttered a scream, threw the barnacle out of his hand, and hit the stone heavily. The shell shattered, exposing the soft body inside. "Gay!" The injured monster yelled, beckoning his companions to deal with the enemies who hurt themselves.

Seeing that the barnacles were about to be torn off by toad monsters, a shark-toothed scimitar swept through the air impartially and stabbed into the head of one of the monsters accurately!
