When the sandworm reached the web with its bow and arrow, as expected, it was entangled in the web and unable to move.
Everyone waited for a while, wanting to see any changes in the sandworm and whether the infant spirit would come.
Time passed by, and a few minutes later, everyone looked at each other, with confusion in everyone's eyes.
The infant spirit did not come, and apart from being trapped and unable to move, the sandworm had not seen any other changes for the time being. It was still alive and showed no signs of malaise.
Therefore, the effect of this web is like a spider web, which exists purely to capture prey? But in the energy world, what is the bright red light emitting from the web? It can't just be a decoration to enhance the atmosphere, right?
Everyone turned their attention to Doakes, wanting to get an explanation from Doakes.
Doakes' expression was a little strange, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking or sensing something. After a while, Doakes said: "The effect of the web...may be to absorb energy."
As for the reason why Doakes made this judgment——
"What little energy I had left in the little bug's body was sucked away."
Angel: "If the effect of weaving the web is to absorb energy, then why is it still alive?"
Life energy can also be regarded as a type of energy. Whether in the Southern Region or other wizards in the surrounding area, many monsters have been found to feed on life energy.
For example, Gomitu, the heart-eating ghost in folklore, feeds on energy. However, its absorption and conversion efficiency is not very high, so it swallows the skin and flesh together.
Among the same type of monsters that are more powerful than Gomitu, such as the satyr in the abyss and the Chupacabra in the void, if they hunt for blood food, they don't need to swallow it at all. In just one breath, they can
It can absorb all the life energy.
The prey that has had its life energy sucked out will turn into a withered look like a dying tree, because all its organs will have insufficient energy supply and die in pain.
Life energy is the most essential energy of living things. Even ordinary people have this energy. It is just a matter of how much.
But now, the sandworm is alive and well, and even its chubby body has not changed at all. It is absolutely impossible to say that its life energy has been sucked away.
Even a body like Greya's original body would turn into skin and bones if its life energy was sucked away. Therefore, how could this sandworm still be in such a rich state if its life energy was really sucked away?
Doakes was also a little hesitant, and after a long time he said: "Maybe the web will not absorb life energy?"
After Doakes said it, he didn't believe it.
Because what he left in the sandworm's body was magic power and mental power, and these were also sucked away by the sandworm. If the web was just to absorb magic power, then the surrounding space was filled with original magic power, so why didn't the web absorb it at all?
In other words, the web only absorbs the refined and pure magic power?
What about mental strength?
Although the sandworm cub is extremely weak, it also has a certain amount of mental power, but the web does not absorb its mental power. This can be seen with the naked eye, because when the sandworm's mental power disappears, it will immediately become sluggish, and at the same time
Falling into coma is no different than death.
But now, the sandworm can struggle, and its vitality has not faded. It just cannot move. It doesn't look like its mental power has been absorbed.
Earl Black: "Then tentatively one of the effects of weaving the web is to absorb non-body energy."
Doakes thought about it and felt that this was barely correct. However, he still didn't feel that the web was just to exclude alien energy.
If it is true what the Black Earl said, then this web is not a trap at all, but a special gain that can remove alien energy from the body.
And this, for many wizards, is a very good effect. For example, if a wizard is cursed, or is eroded by alien energy that cannot be removed, wouldn't it be a perfect solution by weaving a web?
This completely beautifies the net.
But does the web really have no other negative effects besides confinement? Doakes didn't believe it, and neither did anyone else present. However, the current conclusion was indeed like this, and they could only put aside their doubts for the time being.
"You should have other sandworms, why not try the red wax on the ground this time?" The Black Earl looked at Doakes.
Although the red wax can be bypassed by climbing the wall, the Black Earl has a hunch that the appearance of the red wax cannot be that simple. If it can really be bypassed and only face the web, then what is the point of the infant spirit creating these red waxes?
What’s the meaning?
Therefore, even if the red wax can be bypassed, Earl Black hopes to detect the general effect of the red wax.
Doakes: "I have some guesses about the effect of red wax."
Black Earl: "Oh?"
Doakes briefly explained his ups and downs of control over the sandworm in detail: "Even though the little bug didn't touch the red wax, as soon as it entered the range of the red wax, it
There are fluctuations in control power. I think this should be affected by the red wax."
Angel: "You mean, the red wax can affect your control of the sandworms? In other words, it affects your mental power?"
Doakes nodded, then shook his head: "It does affect my control over the little bed bug, but I control the little bed bug not only by my mental power, but also by the power of my blood."
"The bloodline of the little bed bug is closely related to mine. It can even be said that it has been supported by my bloodline to survive."
"Because of this, through the power of blood, I can control all the actions of the little bug, and even take over the activities of the little bug when it loses itself."
"I personally believe that the effect of the red wax is not to deprive or weaken my control over the sandworm, but to affect the sandworm's own mental power. But this effect does not make the mental power disappear, but becomes
disorder or disorder.”
"It's just like……"
Angel responded promptly: "Mental illness."
Doakes nodded: "Yes, it's like a psychotic lunatic, extremely mentally unstable. But it doesn't destroy its mental power."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Black Earl: "But this is just your guess."
"It's a guess, but..." Doakes originally wanted to say that his inspiration was the same, but after thinking about it, it was a bit unreasonable to use inspiration as evidence. Even if his inspiration rarely makes mistakes, it cannot be used as evidence after all.
.
"Forget it, I'll try again. This time I will directly touch the red wax on the ground."
This time Doakes did not spit out sandworms from his mouth, but lightly stepped on the ground, and a small bulging lump appeared on the ground.
The small bag on the ground broke open, and a white and tender sandworm cub crawled out.
Seeing this sandworm, Vai on the side said bitterly: "I didn't accuse you unjustly. I said you did it on purpose. You did it on purpose."
Doakes pretended not to hear.
Vai was unwilling to be left alone and shouted to the sandworm: "Let's go, little bug!"
Hearing Vai's cry, Doakes turned back and said: "I didn't plan to let it be contaminated with the smell of the sewer, so it's not called a little bedbug, its name is..."
Doakes thought for a while: "Cullinand Zilolo Baldev, how about it?"
Angel originally wanted to hear what creative names Doakes could come up with, but when he heard this long list of names, his head was filled with question marks. He seemed a little unable to keep up with Doakes' thinking. What kind of jump was this?
Only with a lot of thinking can we evolve from a little bug into such a long list of names, including a middle name. This is serious naming!
Compared to Angel's surprise, Vai was completely indifferent. He had long been accustomed to Doakes' nonsensical behavior. If he had taken a small sweet bug, a small gold bug, or a small white bug, Vai would have been shocked.
.
"This name is not suitable." Vai vetoed it. As for why it was not suitable, he was too lazy to find a reason. If it is not suitable, it is not suitable. What reason is needed.
"It's more appropriate to call it a little bed bug. The reason is that it comes out as soon as you stamp your foot, so you can tell which part of your body it comes from. There's nothing inappropriate in calling it a little bed bug."
Doakes: "Did you know there are penalties for defaming an official wizard?"
Vai: "Did I slander you? If you swallow this little bug back from your mouth, I will apologize to you."
Doakes said angrily: "So you slander me and you only need to apologize?"
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be addicted to bickering, Angel sighed in his heart and said: "Okay, let's stop talking about it first. There are more important things in front of you. Don't ignore the current situation because of trivial matters."
Angel: "Or do you think Yingling is really easy to bully?"
Angel had already spoken, so Vai naturally did not dare to continue arguing. Doakes was not afraid of Angel, but he also felt that he was a bit too undisciplined.
Putting away his relaxed expression, Doakes said solemnly: "Baldev, let's go!"
Angel: "..." In the end, I still couldn't get around this name.
The white and fat little larvae struggled to move forward. This time the sandworm no longer climbed the wall, but directly contacted the red wax, so it didn't take long to reach the location of the red wax.
Without any hesitation, the sandworm climbed directly onto the red wax.
But not long after the sandworm crawled onto the red wax, something unexpected happened.
Originally, the red wax was a solid after solidification, but after the sandworm came into contact, the red wax suddenly showed signs of melting, but this melting was only limited to the sandworm's body.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the little sandworm was pulled into the "body" by the red wax and completely trapped.
The red wax is not particularly transparent, and only the dark outline of the small sandworm can be faintly seen.
At the same time, Doakes frowned and said: "Baldev has completely lost control. I can't feel its existence at all, as if it has been wiped out from my blood connection."
The little bug before was not completely out of contact because he still had life energy, but now, Doakes can't feel Baldev's existence at all.
Moreover, Baldev fell into the red wax so quickly that Doakes didn't even have time to perceive what Baldev had gone through.
After hearing what Doakes said, everyone frowned.
They had speculated before that the red wax might have some special effects, and now it seems that it is indeed the case. But from the perspective of appearance and energy, the red wax is just an ordinary red wax.
So far, they still don't know what went wrong, let alone solve it.
"I think the baby spirit hasn't come yet. How about I try using sandworms again? This time, I use apprentice-level sandworms?" Doakes suggested again.
The Black Earl shook his head.
At first, the Black Earl agreed to the test, mainly because he wanted to test the web and the red wax.
Now that it has been confirmed that the web and red wax really have special effects, it doesn't make much sense for Doakes to continue testing.
Although it is not known whether the web and red wax are obstacles created by the infant spirit or Adanis, what is certain is that the apprentice-level sandworm alone will definitely not be able to detect more information.
If you want to get more useful information, you may want to try it yourself.
And this may be the purpose of Yingling.
If the Yingling really wants them to try it themselves, it is certain that the web and red wax will definitely affect them.
This is tantamount to an obvious trap.
"Then what should we do now?" Doakes thought about it for a moment, and actually understood that the apprentice-level sandworm alone would definitely be useless: "How about I do it myself?"
Vai: "Are you planning to give it away for free?"
Doakes: "How about letting it try?"
Doakes stretched out his finger and pointed at Vai...the alchemy puppet beside him.
The alchemy puppet is controlled by Speed Spirit, who was sent by Angel to protect Kael, and by the way, he also protected Vai.
Vai said categorically: "No, Speedling is your elemental creature, how can you just use it as a consumable?"
Doakes muttered: "You feel sorry for Angel's elemental creatures... I said I would go, but you said I gave it away for free."
Vai snorted coldly and turned his head: "I told you to give it away for free, so I told you not to go."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Doakes: "I didn't say let Speed Spirit go, I meant to try it with the alchemy puppet."
After Doakes finished speaking, he ignored Vai and looked at Angel: "How is it?"
Angel shook his head. If he really wanted to do what Doakes said, it wouldn't be impossible. He didn't feel sorry for the alchemy puppet, but he had other ideas in his mind.
However, Angel hadn't finished speaking yet.
Then I heard Kael yelling: "Behind!"
Before Angel could react, he heard two bangs, as if something hit the ground.
Looking back, I realized that there were two square-shaped stone prisons on the ground.
He was no stranger to the magic power that created the stone prison. It must have been the work of the Black Earl. But the things in the stone prison surprised him a little.
The two small stone cells contained the same two sandworms just now.
The appearance of the small sandworms has not changed, but if you look at it from an energy perspective, you will find that their bodies are stained with bright red light.
And this bright red and unfortunate light seemed to be eroding the two small sandworms.
Doakes: "My little bug, and Baldive! What's going on?!"
Black Earl: "They have been put back. Can you feel them now?"
Doakes tried to sense the little sandworms in the stone prison, but as soon as he sensed them with the power of blood, he felt a torrent of negative emotions pouring directly into his mind along with the power of blood.
Doakes cut off the power of blood without hesitation.
Although it was successfully cut off, he was still hit by a lot of negative emotions, and at the same time, the backlash of bloodline power also surged from his body.
Doakes vomited several mouthfuls of blood and sat on the ground languidly.
The backlash from the power of blood was actually not that serious, but those negative emotions made Doakes, who always had a positive attitude, a little unable to hold on.
Depression, loss, self-pity... A low aura surrounded Doakes.
Just when Doakes felt as if he had fallen into an emotional abyss, a sigh suddenly came from his ears, and then, a familiar power of illusion entered his eyebrows.
Doakes could resist, but he gave up. His low mood made him feel that everything didn't matter.
Precisely because Doakes did not resist, the power of illusion entered Doakes' body smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, the little man squatting in the shadow of the corner in Doakes's heart felt a warmth behind his back. Looking back, he saw the golden sunshine.
The warm sunshine shone on him, dispelling all the gloom.
All the beautiful memories of the past appeared one by one before his eyes...
In just a few seconds, the low air pressure surrounding Doakes disappeared.
Doakes stood up again, with complex emotions on his face. It took him a while to recover from his own emotions. Then, he nodded slightly to Angel: "Thank you."
He knew very well that the golden sunshine and beautiful memories before were brought about by Angel's illusion.
It awakens the dusty beauty of Doakes, and at the same time dispels the gloomy emotions.
Even though Doakes could find a way to adjust himself, it would take him no telling how long it would take to dispel all the haze. Angel's illusion technique was like a shot in the arm, pulling him out of his depressed mood in an instant.
Angel: "You're welcome, it's just a little effort."
For Angel, it was a simple task, but others might not be able to solve this problem with just a raise of their hands, including the Black Earl.
However, no one was impressed by Angel's strong emotional control at this time. They were more concerned about what Doakes had experienced.
Facing everyone's questions, Doakes was silent for a long time before whispering:
