After all, the group of demon believers did not sink to the point of trying to sneak out of the stinking ditch.
After everyone walked downhill for about two minutes, they saw a fork in the road.
And there are still three forks in the road.
One continues down, one goes parallel to the right, and the other goes uphill to the left.
The path that continues downward in the middle should be eliminated first, because the smell of the stinking ditch comes from down here. However, it is only temporarily eliminated. After all, they have entered the underground maze. There are many paths in the maze, so they cannot be ruled out.
There is a road below besides the smelly ditch.
As for whether to go uphill to the left or parallel to the right, you need to make a choice.
In fact, everyone had their own thoughts on which path to take, but now the choice was still in Angel's hands, so they still remained silent and turned their attention to Angel.
Angel didn't think too much, but took out a short black staff from his bracelet, and then silently thought in his heart: Su Ling, help me.
The rustle of the breeze was Su Ling's response.
Angel closed his eyes and erected the short staff in his hand directly on the ground. With the injection of spiritual power, ripples invisible to the naked eye spread out from the bottom of the short staff.
No one was surprised by Angel's actions.
What Angel unleashed was a very common trick called "sound echolocation". It was similar to the auditory feedback of a blind woman's cane, sensing the surrounding situation through the propagation of sound.
This trick is quite versatile and is very useful whether it is exploring ruins or conquering unknown lands. Therefore, almost every wizard will use it.
Of course, there are differences in how different wizards use it. Some can detect hundreds of meters, while others can only detect tens of meters. As for using sound echolocation to detect kilometers or even further, that is a phonological wizard.
field.
Everyone was also curious about how far Angel could detect using the sound echolocation technique, so they all used their mental power to detect the spread of ripples at the bottom of the short staff.
When the ripples expand to a radius of more than ten meters, sawtooth curves begin to appear.
"My lord's echolocation technique doesn't seem to be very good?" The two young apprentices were connected to the psychic tether at some point, and it was Kael who spoke: "My echolocation technique can spread dozens of meters away.
"
"What's there to compare this with? Master Chao Dimension is a master of alchemy, and it is said that he is also a tutor at Ashley Academy. He spends his time studying this kind of trick, which is specially used for frontline investigation. Let me tell you, sir.
In fact, there is no need to waste time learning." Vai, who was in the Noah family but cared about Angel, couldn't help but argue.
Kael actually belongs to the academic school, so after hearing Vai's argument, he felt that this was also the case. Although Kael himself likes to explore ruins, it is also because he likes to study history. If he didn't have this hobby, he would
In fact, there is no need to learn sound echolocation.
"What you say makes sense, but I still don't understand. Why did you choose to use the sound echolocation technique at this time?"
Kael's doubts were also Vai's doubts, but because the idol filter was there, he automatically ignored them.
Although the conversation between these two little guys was held in a private psychic tether, the other people present were all official wizards, so it was easy to break their conversation.
Doakes even joked: "Even Kael dislikes your sound echolocation technique, why don't you give them some advice quickly?"
Angel ignored Doakes's teasing, but when the ripples spread to the extreme, he picked up the short staff again and touched the ground heavily.
This not only continues to inject spiritual power, but also serves as a reminder to Su Ling.
Su Ling and Angel had a contract, and they had a spiritual connection, so they quickly took action.
In the sound echo positioning technique, a breeze slowly began to fill the air. A small ripple created another ripple in the whirlpool of the wind.
In this way, with the addition of Su Ling, the sound echolocation technique was taken to a new level. Ripples appeared one after another and spread into the distance. Even if the radius of each ripple is only about ten meters, it can be used as a ripple.
As the base number increases, the exploration distance will naturally become further.
Seeing this, the doubts in the hearts of Kael and Vai were finally solved. They did not expect that Angel would actually use wind elemental creatures as an assistant to achieve this step.
"If the sound echo ripples continue to grow, wouldn't they be able to spread for more than a thousand meters?" Kael said in surprise. This time he didn't use the psychic tether. Anyway, the psychic tether between him and Vai was just like a blank sheet of paper.
What was written was clear to all the wizards present.
"Theoretically speaking, it is possible. It can even be farther than the sound wizard, and even infinite." Doakes rarely explained seriously: "However, it is just a theory. Because every time a sound echo ripple is added,
The interference will increase. The increase in this variable is not the length of one plus one, but the length of the doubling. It is okay at first, but later, when it is a hundred times a thousand times... Even if the sound echo ripples spread to ten thousand meters away,
Are you sure you can tell whether the information fed back to you is true or not?"
"To put it simply, this is a small trick of echolocation, but it cannot be used by ordinary people. Only people with extremely high computing power can use it." After saying this, Doakes looked at Kael and Vai.
: "Kael still has a chance to learn, but as for Vai, it's better to give up the idea of learning as soon as possible."
Kael is an academic and loves to study, and what he studies is extremely high-level space magic that requires strong computing power, so he is qualified to learn it.
As for Vai...he is an otaku and is useless except for being a loser.
While Doakes was explaining to them, he was also observing Angel. He was actually curious about how strong Angel's computing power was.
According to Doakes himself, if ten sound echo ripples are reached, his brain will shut down. And Angel is facing three exits at the same time, spreading an unknown number of sound echo ripples at the same time. Can he hold on?
Doakes observed carefully, but in the end he still didn't get to the bottom of Angel.
Because when Angel finished the sound echo ripple technique, his mood was stable, and his expression did not have the wilting look that occurs when his mental calculations are excessive. He still looked relaxed.
In fact... Angel is indeed relaxed.
He didn't even turn on the super brain state, he just eliminated some interference and finally retrieved the information. This didn't even overload the "server" in his brain.
"Three roads, continue down. I explored about three hundred meters and ended. There is a hole there. There should be a stinking ditch under the hole. I also felt it in the stinking ditch. There are also many forked roads. At the same time,
The life reaction there was quite active. In order not to disturb them, I did not go deeper." Angele paused and said, "Although the smelly ditch is not a priority, it is still within the underground labyrinth, and may even be more convoluted than other places.
, if you end up with nothing else, you may still want to go to Xiushuigou to explore.”
After speaking, Angel glanced at the Black Earl. The latter leaned next to Angel, because this is where the purification force field has the greatest effect.
"If your purification force field can be improved by two levels, then I don't have any objection to going to the smelly ditch." The Black Earl said.
That being said, if Angel cannot raise the level of the purification force field and they have to go to the smelly ditch, the Black Earl will probably hold his nose and keep up.
After all, the destination is related to the Noah clan. As the leader of the Noah clan, how could he retreat just because of this small obstacle?
Angel also saw a hint of arrogance in the Black Earl's nature. He didn't say much and continued to talk about the other two paths.
These two roads are definitely the priority. Among them, Angel has also explored the uphill road to the left for nearly a kilometer, but has not reached the end. Moreover, this road also has forks, which may be a way to survive in the maze. Of course, there are also
It might be a false way of survival, but after exploring all the forked roads, I found that they were all dead ends.
"As for the parallel road to the right, it should be a dead end."
Doakes: "Should you? Didn't you get to the bottom of it?"
Angel: "We found it. Go straight to the right for about 600 meters and there will be no way. There is no fork in the middle. There is a bit of extraordinary reaction, but the non-biological energy may be some props contaminated with extraordinary power."
"There is no way out, why do you still say it 'should' be a dead end?" Doakes asked doubtfully. He only cared about the weirdness in Angel's words. He had no interest in those extraordinary props.
"The reason why I use the uncertain word is because at the end of the passage on the right is a door, and behind the door is a double-story building." Angel: "There is a magic energy array on the door, but I found some loopholes.
I let Sound Echo Ripple poke some of it in. It's not too big inside. Although Sound Echo Ripple didn't sense the existence of other doors, there weren't many Sound Echo Ripples that I could probe in, so I couldn't be sure if there were other doors in this room.
The exit can lead to other parts of the maze."
After Angel's explanation, Doakes finally understood that because the end was not a wall but a room, variables were possible.
"Now, we can talk about which way to go?" Angel said, while looking at the Black Earl: "I haven't confiscated the short staff yet, sir, you can choose whether you want to have good luck or not."
Black Earl: "I said, I can only make lucky decisions, and the number of times has been exhausted. I don't know other prophecies."
Angel raised his eyebrows and said no more, but in his heart he didn't really believe what the Black Count said. After all, the Black Count had been quite hasty when he used luck to make decisions before, and there was a feeling that "the warrior has not yet reached the final goal."
In the Demon King's Castle, the disposable magic sword that can cut off the Demon King's head was used to cut slimes."
"I have learned some good luck in choosing one or the other, but the probability of making a mistake is about half." Angel played with his short staff, looking eager to try.
After hearing this, Doakes laughed angrily: "Choose one of the two, and your probability of making a mistake is half. Isn't it the same as not learning?"
Although what Doakes said is right, Angel personally feels that there is still a slight difference. At least, he learned well in releasing the sense of ritual before choosing one of the two good luck options. As for whether he is right or wrong in the end, it depends on fate.
.
"How about I use my good luck to choose one of the two, or how about you tell me which way we should go?" Angel looked at Doakes.
There are a lot of twists and turns ahead, but the ultimate goal is actually to let Doakes show the way.
If Doakes doesn't show the way, then choose one of the two. Anyway, there is a 50-50 chance of digging the path to deodorize the ditch.
Doakes didn't realize at all that Angel was trying to trick him...because the experiment on inspiration advancement had reduced Doakes' sensitivity in inspiration.
Therefore, Doakes really thought seriously about which way was better.
After thinking for a while, Doakes pointed to the right: "Let's go this way first. It's not far anyway. Even if it's a dead end, go explore it. After all, there is another building. Maybe there are any clues in it."
Kael: "Will there be murals?"
Doakes said angrily: "How do I know? Don't keep painting murals. You just got one. Greed is a taboo when exploring ruins."
Kael lowered his head in despair. In fact, he just wanted Doakes to say: Maybe there are murals.
In this way, maybe there really are murals.
After all, opening one's mouth does not cover it.
"You are right. Now that you have discovered the building, let's go and take a look..." Angel said, taking the lead to walk to the parallel road on the right.
As he walked, Angel continued to talk about the results of the previous sound echo ripple detection: "Speaking of which, I also found a few doors in the smelly ditch, not far from the cave. According to the principle of exploring buildings when they see them,
According to the rules, how about we go to the smelly ditch to have a look later?"
Doakes: "...I believe that the Demon Cultists will not lose their style so much that they would go into the stinking ditch in order to regain the treasure. You know, the stinking ditch ten thousand years ago was completely different from what it is now."
Angel: "You are right, but the demon believers have already built churches underground. It doesn't seem to matter if we endure the humiliation a little more."
Doakes: "...Anyway, I don't want to go to the stinking ditch unless I have to."
"Okay." Angel didn't force himself to walk in the ditch, but he just used it to test Doakes's attitude towards the ditch. If Doakes' inspiration is still working in a low-key manner, then there should be no need for the ditch.
Went.
"By the way, if you go to the right, you are actually going back. Then will you encounter the creature that made the wheezing sound before?" Kael suddenly spoke.
Kael's words reminded everyone. Indeed, according to their journey, this was indeed the way back.
However, they walked downhill for a while, and now they are walking on a parallel road. Unless there is an uphill road behind them, it will be difficult to encounter the creature separated by the wall.
"Whether you can encounter it depends on whether the building at the end has a second exit." Although Angel said this, he personally did not believe that he could encounter it. The reason why the maze can be called a maze is
It lies in its twists and turns and weirdness.
A wall in the maze may mean the world is north and south.
