Vai, who was disoriented, unexpectedly reached the edge of the arena while stumbling.
Although it is still more than ten meters away from the edge, it is already very close to the void outside.
Ghost Shadow's eyes lit up. In previous duels between two official wizards, the final victory method was to force the opponent out of the field. Now, it seems that he can try to do the same?
The ghost was a little moved, but his reason told him that if he waits a little longer, as long as Vai's potion is used up, he will definitely win.
But can we really wait until the other party's potion is consumed? Will there be any accidents during the consumption process?
After all, the other party is a descendant of the Noah clan. He must have a lot of potions and magic pattern skin scrolls. Maybe he can really experiment with a way to break the bacterial barrier?
At this time, there seemed to be two different voices in Guiying's mind. One was called "conservative" and the other was called "give it a try." They had completely different thinking orientations and value orientations, and in order to defend themselves , and kept arguing.
For the sake of conservatism, I followed my original teachings, took "absolute reason" as the core, and used the secrets and mistakes as arguments to express my own opinions.
Give it a try is a new radical group that uses the name of "doing whatever you want" to explain its views through stories of constant failure and chaos.
At present, no one can convince anyone.
However, in this situation where no one can convince anyone, "conservatism" actually has the advantage. Because if you can't convince the other party, then do nothing. This is in line with the idea of conservatism.
If there are no accidents, the tendency of ghosting will most likely not change again.
But accidents often happen just when you think they won't happen.
Vai didn't know whether it was really bad luck or something else, but he started walking straight towards the edge of the arena.
Before, I was just walking a dozen meters near the edge, but now, I was pointing directly into the void.
Guiying's heart skipped a beat, and the idea of giving him a boost arose again.
However, the value of "conservatism" is Guiying's self-fundamentalism. He believes in being cautious to save his life. Therefore, even if the devil's temptation has formed a whisper and crooned in his ear, he still restrained his impulse. .
Guiying kept thinking in his mind: The other party had a conspiracy and deliberately lured him there, so he couldn't be fooled.
But after chanting, the ghost unconsciously asked himself: There is no doubt that the other party has lost his way. Because Vai entered the fog, it was the layout of the ghost. After that, he could not find the direction, and passed The mother's characteristic of attracting offspring naturally expands the scope of the bacterial barrier, which is also part of the ghost's calculations.
Therefore, he should not be acting now.
So if he walks toward the edge, maybe it's not a trap?
Maybe he could try?
Thinking of this, Guiying's heart began to itch, but his years of experience in cleaning up monsters in underground sewers made him more restrained than apprentices of the same level, and this habit of patience has long been deeply rooted in his bones. It has not been completely eliminated. Before he had any doubts, he still chose to be cautious.
Until, Vai seemed to realize that he was walking towards the edge, and when he was about to retreat, the ghost couldn't help it anymore.
Vai did not continue to move forward, but chose to retreat, indicating that he had really lost his direction before and was not deliberately walking to the edge to lure him into a trap.
Now that this fact was confirmed, coupled with Vai's endless drug use, Guiying felt sour in his heart, and Guiying finally decided to take action.
However, even if he wanted to take action, Guiying did not choose to step forward immediately.
He still has to do one last test.
I saw the ghost summoning a shadow based on its original appearance, slowly rising from the shadows on the ground. Then, the shadow slowly and silently walked towards the direction of Vai.
They walked until they were about fifty meters away from Wai, and then they stopped.
Vai didn't notice a pair of eyes staring at him in the mist. He was still gradually retreating to avoid stepping out of the arena.
While retreating, Vai's expression was still glaring fiercely in the direction of the edge. Although he did not speak, the ghost could guess his emotions from the direction he was staring.
Probably out of fear, he cursed the dome created by the referee in black.
If you think about it, you can understand that without this dome, Vai can judge how far away from the edge he is by the roars of the monsters in the void.
Now that he couldn't hear the sounds outside and was in a fog, he almost lost his footing and fell out of bounds.
Seeing Vai's vicious expression and the way he carefully observed his surroundings, the suspicion in Guiying's heart was completely dispelled.
He created a shadow with his appearance just to see if Vai had any other conspiracy. But until he was fifty meters away, the other party had not found the shadow, indicating that his perception was still suppressed by the bacterial barrier.
.
Fifty meters is a very suitable distance for the ghost. His attack strength will not decrease within fifty meters. Therefore, if the shadow is not discovered by him, the same should be true for him.
After many tests, Guiying was finally relieved.
His body slowly emerged from the shadows, and soon he stood still in the mist.
He looked at Vai, who was still stumbling around in the distance, unaware of the imminent danger, and gently took off his mask. You could see that the corners of his lips under the mask were slightly raised.
"It's over." He said silently, expressing the ghost's incomparable confidence.
But, the turning point occurred at this moment.
I saw Vai in the distance suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. At the same time, a huge ground thorn rose from the ground a few meters behind the ghost figure, and penetrated directly with thunderous power.
The body of the ghost.
The ghost shadow didn't even react at all, and was stabbed into the air by the ground thorn.
His body at this time was his real body. A body of flesh and blood, with a big hole opened directly, like a ruined rag doll stuck on sharp thorns.
But Vai, who was far away, stood up at this time and turned to look at the ghost.
"Yes, it's over."
…
The whole battle process was very baffling. Even after Angel read the scenes stored in his memory, he still didn't realize that Vai was the ghost who plotted the plot.
Doakes said before that when he and Vai went on an adventure outside, he was in charge of the fighting and Vai was in charge of the layout.
Could it be that Vai actually laid out the plan from the beginning?
Angel thought about it carefully and still felt that it was impossible. Because Vai's actions were traceable. What he did, what was the meaning of doing it, and the consequences of doing these things were all the same.
Clearly.
Angel really couldn't find any trace of the layout.
However, the final counterattack must have been planned. Maybe it wasn't planned from the beginning? But it was planned halfway through?
Angel followed this line of thought and looked for the logic in it.
There are two obvious problems here. First, the ghost shadow first used the shadow to test, and even as close as only fifty meters away, Vai did not respond; second, the ghost shadow's own body had just emerged from the shadow.
As soon as it rose, Vai locked the position and made a big puncture.
From these two points, we can see that Vai can tell whether the ghost is real or fake. And from the preparation level of the ground thorns, we can know that Vai even discovered the hiding place of the ghost in advance, but the ghost has always been
Staying in the shadow, Vai couldn't do anything until he turned into a physical body, and Vai decisively released the ground thorn.
How does Vai do this?
Angel recalled Vai's various behaviors, combined with his own knowledge of Vai, an answer vaguely emerged in his heart.
…
"What happened? Why can't I understand?" Kael looked at the situation on the field with a confused expression.
One second, Kael was still worried about Vai's situation, and the next second, the battle was over? The wise master directly announced the result?
The situation in front of him reminded Kael of the time when he was brought to the majestic plane by his mentor Aesos in order to learn space knowledge, and was sent to the Imperial Academy of Finance and Economics to study science. Neophysics is actually a kind of arithmetic. When Kael first came into contact with it,
Often the teacher is still teaching basic one plus one at the beginning, but then he takes a nap or even yawns, and when he opens his eyes again, the blackboard is already filled with formulas that he cannot understand at all.
How similar was the situation in the classroom then to now?
But at this moment, Kael didn't yawn or take a nap, he just blinked, and the situation of the battle changed drastically.
How many steps were omitted in the process? Why did it suddenly jump to the finale?
Kael looked around, and finally looked at Doakes: "Sir..."
Doakes naturally knew what Kael wanted to ask, but he didn't have a definite answer in his mind at this time. Moreover, he had always stated before that Vai's chance of victory was not high. If he still gave the wrong answer at this time, then he was not
A series of slaps in the face?
Doakes pondered for a moment and did not answer Kael. Instead, he said to Angel: "It seems that you were right before."
After a pause, Doakes continued: "Did you see his plan at that time?"
Angel chuckled lightly and said nothing. Moreover, he didn't know what to say.
Doakes thought that Angel had acquiesced, and praised him, and then said to Kael: "Since he discovered the layout early on, it would be better for you to ask him... I only discovered some clues at the end."
Doakes successfully transferred Kael's question to Angel.
However, Kael was confused at this time and did not notice that Doakes changed the topic. On the contrary, he felt that it was reasonable. Master Chao Dimension made a conclusion from the beginning. He must have discovered the trick very early, so he let Master Chao Dimension tell the story.
, actually better.
Faced with Kael's expectant eyes, Angel did not give an answer immediately, but ruthlessly exposed Doakes' anomaly: "The way you changed the topic is very blunt... So you don't know that Vai Shengli
The reason?"
Doakes smiled awkwardly: "How could it be? I definitely know more about Vai than you do, and it's also deeper."
Angel shrugged: "Then just say it."
Doakes pursed his lips, wanting to find a topic to talk about, but Kael was already looking at him with suspicion at this time. If he really changed the topic, wouldn't it confirm his ignorance?
Moreover, Vai is about to step down. With his character, if he catches himself once, he can repent for decades.
Therefore, it is best to resolve this topic before Vai steps down to avoid being mentioned by Vai later.
However, Doakes is actually not sure how Vai won. He has several alternative answers in his mind, which one would it be?
While Doakes was thinking about it a thousand times, he found Angel staring at him with interest.
"Wai understands you, I know this. But now it seems that you don't understand Vai at all..." Angel said, looking towards the stage.
Vai also noticed Angel's eyes, cheered up, put one hand on his chest, and showed Angel a "mission accomplished" gesture.
As soon as Doakes saw Angel's wilted expression, he knew that Angel must be trying to cause trouble.
Angel was 100% thinking about what vicious words to use to slander himself and alienate his relationship with Vai!
Maybe, Angel had already prepared his words at this time, and as soon as the dome withdrew, he immediately started talking to Vai in the psychic belt.
Doakes was anxious and said directly, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, "Nose!"
Angel narrowed his eyes.
Doakes: "The reason why Vai was able to defeat the ghost shadow was because he had determined the location of the ghost shadow in advance. It can be seen from the arrangement of the ground thorns that this was definitely not just arranged, it must have been arranged in advance.
.”
"How to determine the location of a ghost and distinguish whether it is real or fake depends on Vai's talent for smell."
The more Doakes talked, the clearer he became. Many things he had not figured out before seemed to suddenly become clearer: "It is true that Vai has not fought for many years, and his actual combat experience has dropped a lot. But he has not completely wasted these years, because he has
He runs a divination shop and uses his talent for smelling death almost every day. After so many years of continuous training, his sense of smell is quite sensitive."
"Before, Vai entered the bacterial barrier and was attacked by ghosts many times. However, he also captured the aura of ghosts."
"It's a pity that Vai has been attacked before, and with the invasion of mycelium, even if he captures the ghostly aura, he can't effectively resist."
"So, he simply pretended that he had no idea where the ghost was, and allowed the other party to sneak up on him, waiting for a turn."
"When the ghost stopped attacking Vai, a turning point came. He started to drink medicine, began to recover, and began to use his sense of smell to locate the ghost... Only then did he turn defeat into victory."
"It can be said that Guiying's hesitation led to Vai's victory. Of course, Vai's acting skills are also very good."
"It's worth mentioning that Vai actually figured out how to win very early."
