They hadn't gone far when, on a road covered with rubble and with vague brick patterns on the ground, a figure was screaming and running in their direction.
From the exact same voice, it can be heard that this person should be the one who made the sharp scream before.
With extraordinary eyesight, on the open road, even with the naked eye, one can see the figure on the opposite side. It is a short-haired woman wearing smart leather clothes and trousers.
Behind the short-haired woman, there was a monster with purple scales chasing her crazily.
Come to think of it, this series of screams are all because of this monster.
After all, when ordinary people face monsters, unless they are well-trained heavy-armed knights, they basically have no power to fight back.
Maybe it was a coincidence that she ran towards them at first, but when the short-haired woman saw several figures here, she ran towards them without any hesitation.
Obviously, she regarded Angel and others as ordinary people like herself, and was ready to guide the monsters to them. In order not to alert others, she even overcame her fear of monsters and kept her mouth shut.
Now that the other side was coming towards them, everyone stopped and waited quietly.
At this time, with the eyesight of the short-haired woman, she finally saw the group of people opposite her clearly. What surprised her was that the group of people opposite seemed to have seen her and the monster behind her.
However, the person on the other side showed no intention of escaping, which made her feel vaguely uneasy.
She had heard rumors about this huge ruins in the adventure group before. Although the most common monsters and traps here were the terrifying blood-sucking vines, there were also many humanoid monsters. Behind her was her former teammate.
I made a cognitive error and thought it was a person wearing purple clothes. I wanted to go over and have a chat, but who knew it was actually a monster.
Now, could the group of people on the opposite side also be monsters?
Although the short-haired woman has uneasiness and doubts in her heart, she has her arrow on the string and can't look back. She can only rush forward bravely.
If it is really a monster, I hope the monster and the monster can fight among themselves. If it is a human, then I am sorry.
Angel and the others didn't know what the short-haired woman was thinking, but they could clearly see her deliberately running towards them. However, they didn't care. Everyone has the desire to survive.
To solve the problem, if there is no shackles of contract, even if the wizards are close friends, they may turn against each other, not to mention it is just an easy way to divert trouble to the east.
Everyone didn't even discuss the woman's behavior, but instead focused on the monster.
"Purple scales, there was smoke when running, and I couldn't see my face clearly... It felt familiar, but I couldn't remember what kind it was." Kael clasped his eyebrows with his knuckles and kept recalling.
.
Vai seemed to know him, but he couldn't speak. He could only stretch out his hand and gesture, but it didn't attract Kael's attention.
On the other hand, Doakes smiled and said to Kael: "Why, this monster is just shirtless and didn't put on the tattered coat, so you don't recognize it?"
"The illustrated books are full of common images of monsters. How can you possibly recognize all the monsters if you only look at that one image?"
Just like humans, there are also tall, short, fat, and thin people, and no matter how beautiful, ugly, or extreme people are, in the eyes of monsters, they are only classified as "human beings."
"In the illustrated book, there is a tattered coat, and there is lavender smoke..." After Doakes' reminder, Kael seemed to have thought of something: "Is this a witch-eyed ghost?"
Doakes did not answer Kael's words. Instead, he talked to Angel and said, "Look, Kael is a typical academic. If you don't give him some guidance, he will only apply it rigidly. He also calls himself an academic."
Travelers love visiting ruins the most, tsk tsk... I don’t think they are that good either. The academics always mock the non-academics, and as a result, when it comes to fighting, they can’t even recognize their opponent’s identity.”
Although he was talking to Angel, Kael heard it clearly, and the expression on his face was slightly embarrassed. Even though Doakes had bound him to the entire academy, after all, this time he
The confirmation was wrong.
Kael didn't say anything, and Angel didn't answer either.
Angel also recognized that the monster was a witch-eyed ghost, but this was because he had seen the corpses of many witch-eyed ghosts in the nightmare world, so he could recognize it. But if it were replaced by another monster, Doakes's
My words will probably come true. After all, the monsters in the illustrated book are just general images, and it is impossible to draw every difference.
Because of this, Angel was reluctant to speak, but silently reflected on himself: From now on, we can't just read illustrated books, nor can we just believe what's in the book. We still have to go and see for ourselves, and then we can make a conclusion based on reality.
While they were talking here, the short-haired woman had already lured the witch-eyed ghost closer.
Only about fifty meters away from them, she finally shouted: "Run quickly, there is a monster!"
It may seem like a well-intentioned reminder, but it's actually just a different kind of respectful behavior.
Everyone was too lazy to pay attention to him, and Doakes said directly: "Vay, I leave this Wu-eyed ghost to you, but don't stay here for too long. Your hands and feet are so weak that you can't even defeat a low-level monster."
Vai wanted to retort a few words, but he couldn't speak. He could only prove with actions: he was not a weakling.
However, when it came time to fight the Wumugui, Vai still lost his temper for a while.
Although Wumugui is a low-level monster, it has a certain degree of wisdom, otherwise it would not be possible to pick up those tattered clothes to cover up its shame. Shame is the source of wisdom.
When the Wu-eyed ghost chased the short-haired woman before, it was completely toying with her, or in other words, he wanted to see if she could lead him to the human lair and find more delicious food.
When the Wumugui starts fighting seriously, its shape cannot be seen at all.
Only thin shadows of smoke can be seen, flashing continuously, showing how fast it is.
Earth-type extraordinary beings are originally very weak against such speedy monsters, because as long as they stand on the earth, they are at home.
Wumugui can't fly, so how can he fight the earth element?
But Vai was really hit on by Doakes. After not fighting for a long time, Vai used the wrong trick in the opening scene.
Vai used a trick similar to "Earth Stab" to try to kill with one hit and show his power. However, using this kind of trick is tantamount to competing with Wu Mugui in terms of speed.
You, an earth-type apprentice, are asking for trouble if you compete with a monster that specializes in speed.
He failed to get hit by several thorns in a row, and was kicked by Wu Mugui. Fortunately, he had used defensive skills in advance, otherwise this kick would have been enough for him to recover for many days.
Vai's misjudgment caused Doakes to look like "Look, look" again. However, in order not to disturb his old friend's battle, he did not sarcastically, but kept showing a speechless expression.
However, Vai's misjudgment is not without its benefits.
This also made Wu Mugui feel that Vai was a human being who could be dealt with.
Originally, Wu Mugui didn't plan to fight against human extraordinary beings, but Vai's "weakness" made him feel that he could win. Since he could win, he wouldn't run away. The meat of human extraordinary beings is much better than that of ordinary people.
many!
This is probably because Vai made a misjudgment when he was still on the first level, but Wu Mugui thought he was on the second level, leading to a misjudgment.
Wumugui began to fight with Wai with all his strength. The fighting was so fierce that dust and ghosts were everywhere.
This was not a problem for Angel and others, but the short-haired woman before was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, kept shrinking back, and shivered while leaning on the edge of a ruin.
She felt like she was in trouble. These people were not ordinary people, there were extraordinary beings among them!
In the eyes of ordinary people, wizards are generally both yearned for and feared. What they yearn for is that kind of magnificent power, and what they fear is also this kind of power that transcends the ordinary. However, generally speaking, they still yearn for more.
But in the eyes of ordinary people who hang out in the garden maze, their attitude toward wizards is more fearful than yearning for them, because if the extraordinary people who come here have nothing to gain, they will find a team of ordinary people to search for them. It is just a search, and some will
Take action.
To put it bluntly, they are just a group of junior apprentices showing off and robbing in front of ordinary people.
Now, the short-haired woman has imagined Vai and others as such people.
She wanted to run away, but the aftermath of the battle had an aura that shocked everyone. Coupled with the previous sprint and escape, her legs were completely weak. She could only lean on the edge of the ruins, trembling and praying that she would meet someone.
The kind of extraordinary person who doesn't kill people.
The battle between Wu Mugui and Wai continues.
Vai's misjudgment at the beginning caused him to lose face in front of Doakes. He even heard the elder of his family snort, and Vai was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
In the next battle, Vai did not dare to be so unrestrained, and began to follow the rules and fight the Wumugui in the normal way.
The so-called normal method is what is taught in the book: turn on the earth force field, slow down the Wumugui's speed, and when the strength is the same, first look for weaknesses and weaken them; if you are sure of an instant kill, then directly attack the Wumugui's one eye.
The teachings in the book are correct, but they are too rigid. Wumu ghosts have a certain level of wisdom. If they find that they can't be defeated, they will definitely run away. How can they break into your earth force field inexplicably.
But it happened that this witch-eyed ghost misjudged Vai's strength.
Under this "beautiful" misunderstanding, it did not run away, but continued to get close and kick Vai a few more times, trying to see if it could break through the defense.
But as soon as he got closer, Wu Mugui found that he had been tricked.
It was completely different from the last time when he came and went freely. This time Wumugui entered Vai and was immediately blocked by a layer of light yellow force field, blocking its strongest talent - speed.
Without speed, Wumugui is just a slow-moving target.
After all, Vai is a peak apprentice, and he has the ability to instantly kill such low-level monsters. Three consecutive sharp stone arrows directly broke the single eye on the head of the Wumugui.
With a burst of sand and dust flying, Wu Mugui's body fell down with a crash.
Vai breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and made a "solved" gesture to Doakes.
He didn't know why he made this gesture to Doakes, probably because he wanted to save some dignity.
Doakes had rolled his eyes countless times behind his back before, but when he faced Vai, thinking of his old friend's pride and the Black Earl's intimidation, he still smiled and nodded: "Well done."
"snort!"
As soon as Doakes finished speaking, the Black Earl's cold snort came, but it was not directed at Doakes, but at Vai.
The stone slab containing the Black Earl flew directly from Vai's body.
He would rather waste his energy and fly than stay with this stupid descendant. He has simply disgraced the Noah family!
Vai was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Angel suddenly spoke, which was regarded as a relief for Vai: "Come and take a look."
Everyone followed the sound and saw Angel squatting next to Wu Mugui's corpse, investigating something.
"What's so interesting about this? There's nothing valuable about Wumugui. Unless you sell the whole body, it won't be more than ten magic crystals. You still lack this little money?" Doakes said.
Angel: "I'm not asking you to see this. I just want to see if you have any special feelings about it? Has your spiritual perception been touched?"
Angel stared at Doakes without blinking.
Doakes said speechlessly: "Are you treating me as a humanoid detector? How can a dead witch-eyed ghost have any influence on me?"
Angel touched his chin: "Not touched? It shouldn't be."
After all, it was Doakes who made the decision, and they decided to come over to see what was going on with the screams. At that time, Angel thought that Doakes' spiritual perception might have been touched.
Angel was even more convinced of this when he saw the Wu-eyed ghost.
Because, in the central area of the underground labyrinth of Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm, which is also the core place, where the Ladder of Hanging Prison is located, there are a large number of witch-eyed ghosts nearby.
Although there are witch-eyed ghosts outside the prison ladder in the nightmare world, it does not mean that there are witch-eyed ghosts at the corresponding location in reality. However, this coincidence still made Angel attach great importance to it.
"Then you use the Eye of True Sight to trace the origin of this witch-eyed ghost and see where it came from?" Angel asked again.
"Drilled out?" Doakes asked doubtfully: "You mean, it used to live in an underground maze?"
Angel: "Just a guess."
Doakes frowned: "You can do this by yourself, why do you have to let me do it?"
The reason why Doakes was asked to trace the origin was because of spiritual perception, to see if he would be touched by it. However, Angel did not answer, but signaled Doakes to do it quickly.
Although Doakes was full of complaints, he still complied.
"Continue heading north and walk at least two miles. When you get to the location, use your true seeing eye to take a look." Doakes said.
Angel didn't want this answer, so he still asked without giving up: "Still no inspiration?"
Doakes said angrily: "I am from the blood side, please don't think of me as a prophetic wizard!"
After a pause, Doakes rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "I really want to predict, isn't Lord Black Earl here? He has lived for so long, and he must be involved in the field of prophecy. Let Lord Black Earl predict where it will come from.
Just come out and it’ll be fine.”
After Doakes finished speaking, he took the lead and looked at the stone slab flying in mid-air.
Angel thought for a while and felt that this seemed to be a method, so he also looked at the Black Earl's nose.
Although the Black Earl knew that it was Doakes who was making noise, he was too lazy to pay attention, because when Angel said, "This witch-eyed ghost may come out of the ground," he had already started to detect it secretly.
After a while, the Black Earl said: "I signed a contract with a prophetic wizard. Under the witness of the Asking Bell, I can borrow his ability to a limited extent: Lucky Choice."
Lucky Choice, the prediction technique of Wenzhizhong School, is also an advanced version of the good luck choice.
A bit like luck detection, you can ask whether something is "yes" or "no".
However, luck detection is a sleight of hand, and its principle is explained in Jon's words as "the precise service provided by big data to you", which is a manifestation of the "computing power" of the prophecy wizard.
Lucky Choice is an extraordinary prophecy that can only be used with the permission of "The Bell of Questioning", and the probability of being correct is much higher than Lucky Detection.
"I have just exhausted the number of recent uses of Lucky Choice, and asked two questions using Wu Mugui's corpse as a medium."
Everyone's attention immediately focused, wanting to hear what the Black Earl asked.
"The first question is whether it came from the underground labyrinth."
The Black Earl was silent for a moment and said: "The answer is no."
Angel frowned. Did he make a wrong judgment?
"Second question, can we find the real entrance into the underground labyrinth through it?"
This time the Black Earl answered quickly: "The answer is yes."
