"Illusion?" The Black Earl frowned slightly and did not comment too much. But personally, he did not think illusion was a good idea.
The hidden and changeable nature of illusion can indeed be used as an outpost of temptation.
However, when illusion magic is used against creatures in the material world, its effect is much greater than that of energy creatures. Also, when illusion magic is used against intelligent creatures, its effect is much greater than that of non-sapient creatures.
Their current guess about the infant spirit is that it is an intelligent being. However, this is just a guess after all.
According to the most primitive condition of the infant spirit, it is an undead spirit, a soul with chaotic thinking and only evil thoughts. In other words, the infant spirit is both an energy creature and an unintelligent creature.
In this case, the range of illusions that can be tested is limited. Therefore, from the Black Earl's point of view, illusions are an alternative, but they are by no means the best choice.
"I think illusions should be used on the blade." At this time, Doakes said: "As for testing, leave it to me."
What Doakes calls "blade" actually means protecting the two apprentices. This is not because he looks down on Angel's illusions, but because he knows very well that illusions are the best protection for the two apprentices at the moment.
If Angel is distracted and uses the illusion, there may be flaws in the moving illusion here. Even if it succeeds, it may attract a targeted attack by the infant spirit on the illusion, and the moving illusion will definitely become a target.
Doakes didn't want anything unexpected to happen to Kael and Vai, especially Vai.
Therefore, after weighing the situation, Doakes decided that it would be better to test it out on his own.
"You were hesitant before, why are you suddenly brave now?" Angel raised his eyebrows.
Doakes shrugged: "This is different. It's not like going on the road in person. If it's just testing, that's definitely fine. I've done this kind of testing a lot... ugh!"
In the first half of the sentence, Doakes was normal, but at the end of the sentence, Doakes suddenly showed a ferocious expression, and then in full view of everyone, he vomited out a chubby, slimy little meat insect.
Angel knew that this palm-sized meat worm was a kind of larvae of sand worms, but even if he knew it, when he saw Doakes spitting out of his mouth and there were bright water droplets hanging on the body of the meat worm, he was stunned.
Feeling nauseous.
Angel finally managed to hold back the surging gastric juices. However, Vai, who was peeking behind everyone, couldn't hold it back and covered his mouth and kept retching.
After a while, Vai calmed down a little.
"You are like this every time, when will you get used to it, my old friend~" Doakes looked over with concern.
Vai wiped the saliva from his mouth when he was retching, and gave Doakes a vicious look.
He did not answer Doakes, but complained to Angel aggrievedly: "Doakes, this guy didn't actually take sandworm larvae like this a long time ago..."
In the past, Doakes would just flip his hand, and the larvae would appear on his palm. The larvae would come out directly from under the skin. Although it still looked a little uncomfortable, Doakes' "turning his hand" movement covered it up.
The process of larvae emergence, so overall, looks normal.
But one time, when they were adventuring, they encountered a crisis. Doakes was put into a coffin-like torture device made of iron, with only his head exposed.
In order to save himself, Doakes used his mouth as a medium for the first time and spit out the larvae covered in saliva.
It was also that time when the young and ignorant Vai saw this scene and vomited it out.
Doakes seemed to find it interesting to watch the fun - that is, Vai vomiting. From then on, every time he summoned the larvae in front of Vai, he would vomit with his mouth.
After Vai finished complaining to Angel, the grievance on his face still did not disappear.
Angel looked at the joking Doakes, and then at the aggrieved Vai, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart... Why did he become an arbitrator? He needs to express his opinion on such a trivial matter.
?
Although Angel didn't want to speak, but when Vai looked at him with burning eyes, he still said perfunctorily: "This kind of behavior is indeed very bad."
Although Angel didn't say anything else, Vai was very satisfied and let out a breath of bad breath.
In Vai's opinion, Doakes will most likely follow Angel in the future, and he will listen to Angel's words no matter what.
Doakes said innocently: "Is it bad? I think it's normal."
Angel sneered: "If you vomit out my little little gold, little little gold, I will sew your throat with a needle on the spot. I have a lot of experience in making clothes. Believe me, I will definitely sew it up for you."
It’s strict and solid.”
Doakes stopped talking for a moment. Just when Angel said he was bad, he really thought about spitting out Xiao Xiaojin in front of him in the future...
Seeing Doakes's silence, Vai cheered even more in his heart, and looked at Angel with even more admiration.
After the small interlude passed, the Black Earl looked at Doakes: "Are you going to use this sandworm to test?"
Doakes nodded: "This sandworm is an ordinary sandworm, but I can sense everything it senses through the power of blood. Even if the sandworm is discovered and killed, it will not have much impact.
.”
At this point, Doakes suddenly took out a small bottle from his pocket with a mysterious look on his face: "Do you know what's in this? Hehe, I secretly collected some smelly sewer smells before and put it in it.
It will be contaminated by sandworms later, so that when the sandworms crawl in, they can disguise themselves as small bugs running out of the smelly ditch, making them even more concealed!"
Black Earl: "You have made quite a lot of preparations."
Doakes smiled proudly: "That's natural. I finally took a trip to the underground sewer. If I didn't take anything away, thank you."
This sentence sounds okay, but Doakes's idea of collecting the smell of the stinking ditch and taking it away really left everyone speechless.
Even the Black Earl didn't know what to say. Praise? Praise? Scold? None of them are good, so... forget it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Angel: "Are you sure that infant spirits from other worlds know the smell of smelly ditches?"
Vai pretended to be ignorant: "Ah? What are you talking about? Don't you love sandworms anymore? Then you can't be trusted. You don't even love the sandworms in your own blood, let alone love others.
Where are the people?”
Vai's words were meant for Angel, telling him that Doakes would be a traitor if he didn't love sandworms.
If Dox loves sandworms, Ann will definitely recover the sandworm in the same way!
Doakes was speechless and choked. He couldn't really say that he didn't love sandworms. If he didn't, how could he have sandworm blood as his main bloodline.
But when it comes to love, I fell into Vai's trap...
So vicious!
Doakes turned to look at Angel. He believed that Angel could see through Vai's scheme and give him justice!
It's just that Doakes found the wrong person.
How could Angel not see through Vai's trap? After all, he was the one who started the topic.
Originally, Angel wanted to set up the trap himself, but he didn't expect Vai to understand so quickly and directly snatched his words away. He also added value to Doakes, lifted him up to the clouds with his morality, and then threw him down hard.
Come down.
This is even more cruel than Angel's original idea... This is really, really good.
Angel: "Wai is right."
Doakes looked at Angel in astonishment, not believing his ears.
At this time, Vai also hit the snake and put it on the stick: "My lord, you are right!"
Doakes felt like the world was spinning, and he felt as if he was in an endless ice field. The biting cold wind blew from his skin into his bones, and even his blood was freezing...
Black Earl: "Let's put aside any gossip, your sandworm is about to touch the web."
Doakes immediately returned to the real world from the ice and snow. Regardless of Angel and Vai's singing, he carefully observed the movements of the sandworms.
Angel and Vai did not interrupt at this time. It was okay to adjust the atmosphere occasionally, but when it was time to do business, they must not let it go at all.
At this time, Doakes's fleshy sandworm had already left the mobile illusion.
But even so, it did not attract the attention of the infant spirit in the distance.
This actually strengthens the Black Earl's speculation that the infant spirit is controlled, or that the infant spirit is intelligent. Otherwise, with the infant spirit's sensitivity to the breath of living creatures, it is absolutely impossible for it not to be able to smell the smell of sandworms.
Yingling hasn't shown up yet, is he planning to... sit back and watch them take the initiative to enter the network?
And what it relies on is these webs and red wax?
These issues are unknown for the time being, but now we can use sandworms to explore the effects of the red wax and weaving nets.
Although the red wax is spread all over the floor, it can be avoided by climbing up the wall or the ceiling. But that cannot be done with the weaving net. The weaving net is densely packed and locks all the gaps in the four walls.
Now, it depends on how Doakes decides.
Should we go directly to the ground and touch the red wax first, or should we bypass the red wax and touch the web?
Doakes touched his chin and finally decided to go around the red wax first. Because red wax sandworms can go around, they can also go around.
But weaving a net won't work. They have to face weaving a net, so seeing what effect weaving a net will have first is the most critical thing right now.
After making the decision, the sandworm began to crawl toward the wall, climbing up bit by bit without anyone stopping it during the entire process.
When it reached the ceiling, the sandworm began to move forward.
Soon, the sandworm entered the range of the red wax, but the sandworm was on the ceiling and did not touch the red wax.
However, just when everyone thought that the sandworm had successfully bypassed the red wax, Doakes suddenly frowned and said: "My control over the sandworm seems to have been reduced."
Angel asked in confusion: "Reduced control?"
Doakes was silent for a moment and then said: "Maybe it's my imagination."
Everyone looked at Doakes in confusion. Doakes didn't know how to explain it. He felt that his control over the sandworm had indeed decreased before, but now it seemed to be back. That's why he said it was an illusion.
But not long after he finished speaking, Doakes felt that his control over the sandworm had decreased again. Doakes was about to explain to everyone that the control over the sandworm was back again.
Next, in just a few meters, Doakes felt that his control over the sandworm was like riding a roller coaster, rising and falling.
Doakes did not speak out about this situation for the time being. The main reason was that although the control was a bit strange, the sandworm's goal did not change and it still crawled towards the web as always.
Doakes wanted to wait until the sandworms were caught in the net to see what changes there were.
