Does the existence of Wumugui have special meaning?
After hearing Angel's words, Doakes was filled with doubts. Could it be that Wumugui had some unknown secrets? Is it because he was ignorant and ignorant?
Doakes turned to look at the others and confirmed that Vai and Kalel were also in a state of confusion, but the Black Earl only had one nose and could not see his emotions.
Just when Doakes was hesitant to ask Angel about his "ignorance", Angel took the initiative to answer the question.
"It is said that the community of Wu-eyed ghosts gather in the center of the underground maze. As long as you see Wu-eyed ghosts, it means that you are not far from the center of the maze. And the prison ladder we are looking for is in the central area.
"
Doakes: "So the special meaning refers to this... Is this your exclusive information?"
Angel paused for a moment: "I can't tell you the source of this information."
Doakes shrugged and stopped asking questions. They had already seen Angel's temperament. He made it clear in advance what he would tell you and what he wouldn't tell you. Although it was sometimes quite irritating, this was not the case.
Is it a different kind of sincerity?
At this time, the Black Earl had sorted out his previous surprised emotions and said calmly: "I can ignore the source of your information, but is this information credible?"
Angel pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know how reliable it is, but since we have discovered the traces of the Wu-eyed Ghost, and it is indeed not far from the prison ladder, I think this information is still
It can be believed.”
The source of this information was Sanders, and what Sanders was talking about was the situation in the underground labyrinth in the nightmare world. Angel was not completely sure whether it corresponded to reality.
But there are already traces of Wumugui here, so it might be a good idea to put the experience of the nightmare world into reality.
Anyway, these are just details.
The witch-eyed ghost itself is not important, what is important is the meaning and symbol it represents. Moreover, even if they do not encounter a witch-eyed ghost on the next journey, it will not prevent them from finding the ladder to the prison.
Black Earl: "Since you said that, let's just take it as good news."
After a pause, the Black Earl said: "You told me a piece of news, so let me tell you the same. It's not good news, it's not bad news either."
"Not long ago, I stayed at the olfactory location near that flue and smelled the smell of people."
Doakes raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, sir, is the traveling merchant organization coming after you?"
Black Earl: "Only one person."
When Doakes heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes: "It's not interesting if you are alone. I guess even the group of scavenging squirrels may not be able to get through, and now I may not be able to protect myself."
Black Earl: "There is more than one way to escape from the siege of mutated scavenging squirrels. The man's aura has disappeared, which means he has successfully broken through the siege."
Now, Doakes became interested. There were so many mutated scavenging squirrels, and it was not that simple to stand out. Even he would probably have to get bloody, and he might not be able to get rid of the mutated scavenging squirrels.
.
How did that person stand out?
Faced with Doakes' question, the Black Earl was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Angel took you away with the moving illusion, which is a relatively decent way to leave. But the way that person used it was not so decent.
But the effect is still very good.”
"In an unseemly way?" Doakes: "What way?"
Black Earl: "What I left there was just an olfactory positioning point, I don't know how. However, there are only two ways, either I turned into a mutated scavenging squirrel and blended in, and then sneaked away. Or,
Climb into the body of a mutated scavenger squirrel and then control it away."
Anyway, no matter which method, in the eyes of the Black Earl, it is disgraceful.
The only criterion for Earl Black to judge decency is: does it stink?
After all, this Black Earl is a nose, and the smell is something he cannot bear.
"It turns out to be a transformation..." Doakes suddenly realized it, but thinking about that scene, he had to walk with a mountain of mutated scavenging squirrels, and he still had to walk a long way, and he kept facing mental challenges.
Doakes shudders just thinking about the pollution.
He would rather kill himself than suffer this kind of torture. This is not a shameful thing, but a matter of whether he can endure the humiliation and bear the burden. He can "bear the burden", but he cannot bear this humiliation!
The two apprentices were also trembling at this time, thinking about the mutated scavenging squirrels that were so ugly that they had psychological shadows. I have to say that the one chasing behind was so scary...
However, this news only gave people a chill. If you really want to be afraid of the other party, you definitely don't.
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that your lord left a back-up, olfactory positioning point. It sounds very strong. It can be sensed from such a distance." Doakes asked curiously: "Sir, how many did you leave along the way?
Olfactory anchor point?”
The Black Earl snorted coldly and ignored Doakes at all.
On the other hand, Angel said with a smile: "Isn't the answer to this question very obvious? Are there other things besides mutated scavenging squirrels along the way? Do you think Lord Black Earl will leave an olfactory anchor point on this road? So...
, leave at most one in the living area, and one near the intersection of the road we are taking."
Angel looked at the Black Earl: "Sir, am I right?"
Black Earl: "One less person to say."
The Black Earl didn't say which one he was talking about less, and after speaking, it fell directly into Vai's hands: "There is nothing to explore here, let's move on."
After the Black Earl finished speaking, he looked at Angel. Everyone else also looked at Angel, and when they saw Angel nodded, they took steps to leave the narrow opening.
The road ahead is slowly getting narrower, but so far, we haven't encountered any accidents.
At this time, Doakes came close to Angel: "Have you thought about it? Where is the olfactory anchor point that adults rarely talk about?"
Angel shrugged: "I didn't expect it. Why, what do you think?"
Doakes: "I guess it must be near the entrance connecting the underground church to the underground maze, so that we can monitor how many people are chasing us."
Doakes said it was a guess, but his tone was firm.
Angel looked at Doakes and said softly: "Sometimes I think your thoughts and actions are very abnormal, but sometimes your thoughts are too normal. What a mysterious man."
Angel shook his head, said nothing, and continued walking forward.
Doakes scratched his head with a look of doubt on his face. What did Angel mean by what he said? Did he agree with him or disagree with him?
The answer...is of course no.
If the olfactory anchor point was really near the entrance, then the Black Earl wouldn't have just sensed someone coming. He must have said it early in the morning, instead of saying it after the person had already reached the flue.
From the Black Earl's words, we can know that the first olfactory location is near the flue.
Further forward, there is a magic energy array blocking the way. The magic energy array here is even difficult for Angel to sneak into. Angor doesn't believe that the Black Earl's sense of smell can penetrate the magic energy array.
Therefore, if the Black Earl really has a positioning point, it must be on the road after the flue.
Angel probably had a few locations in his mind about where it was specifically, but there was no need to delve into it, because if a new situation did arise at that location, the Black Earl would naturally say it.
…
The road continues, getting narrower and more inclined.
They didn't find nothing along the way. In addition to the traces of Wumugui they found before, they later found several more bones.
They are all human, with some traces of the supernatural remaining. After screening, they must have been dead for a long time, at least five hundred years ago, and their strength is probably at the peak of an apprentice.
There are roughly two ways these corpses died, one was killed by other humans, the other was killed by monsters.
The detection of the pheromone magnifier showed that the monster was still a witch-eyed ghost, and its aura was more complicated than what was previously found on the centaur statue.
This means that the murdered apprentice was beaten to death by a group of people. In other words, there was more than one witch-eyed ghost.
This seems to prove once again that Angel's information is not groundless.
As for the "relics" of these corpses.
There is indeed a part of the space soft capsule that has not been destroyed, and there are some sundries in it, which are hard to distinguish between good and bad. And these things, Angel allocated to Kael.
After all, Kalel is the real owner of the key and the initiator of the adventure.
As the leader of the team, Angel deprived Kael of his interest in studying history and could only replenish it from other aspects. Therefore, as long as it was not particularly dangerous or unknown, Angel's first consideration would be Kael.
After walking for a few more minutes, they saw the second narrow opening in the distance.
The second narrow mouth is more exaggerated than the first narrow mouth, directly cutting off the road to only half its width, and looking in from here, it is still widening.
"Could it be that in the end, only the size of an alleyway is left?" Doakes muttered.
"It's not possible, but certain." Angel: "The short stretch of road we walked before was abnormal."
It was a kind of psychological oppression deliberately imposed by the official, it could be said to be a show of force, but now it is gradually becoming normal.
To be continued...
