The size of the mental body can indeed change, but because it does not have much meaning in itself, the host will not deliberately adjust it under normal circumstances. Unless it is a form change that occurs naturally due to the improvement of abilities after the combination like Hati, the normal form of the spiritual body is usually fixed.
"It got smaller? How does it look?"
Because this little guy looked really weak, pitiful and helpless, Hua Mu's sense of horror when he encountered an unknown creature in the depths of the deep and dark cave completely disappeared at this moment.
Luna had already walked over to the spirit body and made a sound of "crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" as if communicating with it. Hua Mu used its perspective to see the situation of the spiritual body.
"I don't feel very good. The last time I encountered it, I looked a little slippery. This time I feel dry."
If it's not an illusion, it seems that the eyes are a little cloudy.
"Gollum..."
The creature finally made a sound that sounded like it was popping bubbles in the water.
"It made a sound!" Although Hua Mu heard its "words" through Luna's senses, she really didn't understand what it wanted to express.
Luna tilted her head and poked its body lightly with her front legs, then called out to Hati softly as if asking for advice.
"Ouch!"
Haty seemed very dissatisfied, shaking his head a bit irritably, kicking his back feet to express his emotions. Luna ran back "Tetto", rubbing its head like coquettish and soothing, babbling non-stop.
The reserve grain jumped away as if he felt something, looked at the direction of Hati and Luna for a while, and looked at the direction of the unknown creature for a while, and finally jumped back into her arms with Hua Mu's legs.
Looks like he doesn't want to meddle anymore.
The white pillow was a little confused about the current situation, but Hati's irritability was clearly passed on to her. Fortunately, Luna's intimacy quickly calmed White Wolf's emotions. Although he was still a little reluctant, White Pillow still felt that Hati was persuaded.
persuaded? What does it agree to
The white pillow quickly knew the answer.
Luna returned to the place where the unknown creature was, and a silver-white light was released from the corner.
"Mom, what are you doing!"
Not to mention Hua Mu, even White Pillow has never seen such a situation. Sentinels and guides usually have a mental runaway when they are just awakened, because they have a low rate of synchronization with the spiritual body, and the spiritual body acts autonomously.
Although Hua Mu has already awakened, the time spent with Luna is short, so the other party will often carry out some autonomous behaviors - today this is obviously one of them.
"It... is Luna trying to save it?"
This is the possibility that the white pillow subconsciously thought of. The body size of the spirit becomes smaller, and it is very likely that its owner's mental strength has decreased, and it can no longer help it maintain its shape. The most appropriate way at this time is of course to supplement the host with the guide element, but it is also a good choice to appease the spiritual body at the same time.
Although Luna's behavior is somewhat different from the comforting methods that White Pillow knows, the purpose should be the same. Hua Mu's affinity as a guide is very good, and Luna can provide comfort to almost any spiritual body.
This also explains Hati's irritability. The spirit body has a very strong possessiveness towards the object of its combination, and even if the simple act of appeasement will not have any effect on them at all, it will still feel unhappy.
Simply put, it's jealousy.
Moreover, Hati is obviously more jealous than the general mental body, and this domineering force makes Bai Zhen feel a little incredible. However, considering the special features of Hua Mu and Luna, she felt very understandable.
Hua Mu watched the white light in Luna's horn drip into the spiritual body like water, and then thought along the words of the white pillow, and suddenly realized.
"Like so, that thing looks so much better!"
Almost as soon as the light flowed into the body, the wrinkled skin of the mental body became smooth and smooth at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only did the originally cloudy eyes brighten a lot, but even the grunt sounded a little bit out of breath.
The effect was so fast, I was a little surprised by the white pillow.
"so fast?"
"Yes, immediately."
The little guy jumped around a lot, flicking his tail and rubbing his hooves with his round head as if thanking Luna. Haty immediately showed an unhappy look, let out a low growl, and jumped to Luna's side.
Although it is invisible, it is very sensitive.
The little guy seemed to be frightened, and twisted his butt to hide behind Luna. Luna immediately came up and licked the white wolf's face endlessly, licking it until it lost its temper in an instant.
Although the white pillow could not see the spirit body, he roughly guessed what happened, and said helplessly: "Hati was not like this in the past."
Hua Mu really liked Hati's nervous look towards Luna, and said with satisfaction: "There's nothing wrong with this."
The white pillow smiled and didn't answer.
"That thing... how's it going?"
Hua Mu still doesn't quite know what this thing is. If it is a spiritual body, where is its owner
"It's still in good spirits, and it doesn't feel like a threat. Do you think its owner will encounter any danger, or be trapped somewhere, so he hasn't come out?"
Probably because the little thing didn't seem to be dangerous, Hua Mu subconsciously changed his mind.
The white pillow was silent for a while, and then agreed: "... Well, it's possible."
"Then should we go and save him?"
When Hua Mu thought about it, Bai Zhen couldn't help laughing.
"Miss, there is no conclusion yet. And this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Let's go out and talk about it first."
"That's right, it's so cold in here, that thing doesn't know what to do with it."
Probably bored on the island for a long time, after confirming that the other party was not a threat, Hua Mu became very interested in that little thing.
The white pillow has a headache for her curiosity, "I think it is very close to Luna, even if it doesn't come with us this time, it should meet again in the future... Miss, didn't you want to try making cookies with palm oil? It can't be done any later today."
"That's not in a hurry... Hey, do you really want to eat biscuits?"
"It sounds like I haven't eaten in a long time."
White pillow seldom eats sweets, and he doesn't have a big cold against sweets, but now he has to go out of his way to attract Huamu's attention.
"In that case, let's go back first."
Of course, white pillows are more important than those who don't have them. Hua Mu immediately turned into a housewife, ready to show off her skills for her lover.
Bai Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, glanced apologetically in the direction of the spirit body, and left the cave with Hua Mu.
The spirit body did not follow, and Hua Mu stopped thinking about it after waiting for a while. As the white pillow said, everything is still inconclusive now, and she can't let down her guard and feel sympathy just because the guy looks weak.
Compared with this unexpected spiritual body, the two currently have more important things to prepare for. There is only one week left until the end of December, and the first New Year after she and Bai Zhendi are together is coming soon.
After the palm oil is prepared, many things can be put on the agenda, White Pillow can start to work on the surface of the house and furniture, Hua Mu can start to study how to make desserts. The starch is mainly extracted from breadfruit, plus the starch raised from the yam and chenwood pith, and can also be used to make sago.
Because there is no yeast, Huamu chooses to use shochu to ferment the flour, and has also made some finished products similar to bread. Now that she has palm oil, which uses the stearin instead of shortening and cream, she can still make cakes.
A beautiful life is beckoning to her, and Hua Mumao is working hard to make desserts before the Chinese New Year.
The work on the white pillow is also proceeding in an orderly manner. In addition to adding doors and windows to the wooden house, the roof has also been reinforced. After brushing the wood wax oil on the wall, the waterproof performance of the house has been greatly improved, and finally no water leakage will occur on rainy days.
The hut is no longer empty now, with tables, chairs, cabinets, and beds. White Pillow even made a dressing table for Huamu, even small things like jewelry boxes were not ignored. When the sentry has something to do, he will pick up some beautiful pearl shells and put them inside, and there is even a piece of amber among them.
Although Hua Mu doesn't wear it on her body, it is quite beautiful when she takes it out.
White pillow's day is undoubtedly busy, including some things that Hua Mu has to do, she also needs her to do the preliminary preparations. However, the Sentinel had very little leisure in the past, and was not at all uncomfortable with the current situation.
For her, life on a desert island was a lot happier than it had been—only one thing worried her.
The appearance of that spirit body reminded her of a rumor about the genetic modification project base.
At that time, the International Sentinel directed the alliance and the forces of various countries to lead snakes out of their holes, and almost all the main personnel involved in the reconstruction plan were arrested. However, no matter how the interrogation was conducted, the exact location of the experimental base could not be found out in the end.
Some people say it is underground in a desert, some people say it is on an island in a certain sea area, and some people say it is in the mountain body of an extinct volcano.
At the beginning, the alliance sent many sentries to inspect the places that met the requirements, but in the end they were unsuccessful and had to give up the investigation.
But perhaps, those people weren't lying, and were only able to remember rough fragments because they were hinted at. Combined with the notes found in the cave, some truths are about to come out.
It's not that some people wandered on the island, but they fled to the island and dared not leave. This island has a unique geographical location, and the marine wonder circle is an extra-legal place. Not only do countries need to apply for armed forces, but also the means of searching are extremely limited.
And if this island is really the experimental base of the genetic modification program, then that spirit body also has an exact identity.
But she didn't want Hua Mu to see all this, not only because of her cowardice, but also because the truth was too cruel.
