Bab 275: Life Cycle 4

[690 Exp]

The skeletons at the gatehouse had slain more enemies while Jay and Red infiltrated the castle.

Jay crept out of the room as the two lesser knights left. Red cracked open the door, peeking at the leaving enemies and then at Jay, checking on the safety of its master.

Jay ignored the skeleton as he went to look around.

“How come they stopped?” he wondered, standing over the spot they stopped. It was the same place Jay had splashed out the luminous fluid.

Jay’s eyes drifted to the empty jar.

“Surely it’s not that simple…” Jay thought, “they have a pheromone scent ability, so they probably use it to create patrol paths, too?”

Jay grabbed some more of the glowing jars, adding some smaller ones to his backpack. There were still some echoes coming through the passages, so without wasting time checking the other rooms, Jay followed them.

A few of the roots led through this passageway too, so Jay was content with following them.

[Your skeleton has been slain.]
