Chapter 2562: Witch Ghost

Before they had gone far, on the road covered with rubble, with vague brick patterns on the ground, a figure screamed and ran towards them.

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 pants.

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 toward them at first, but when the short-haired woman saw several figures here, she ran directly toward 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 other person 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. The thing behind her is that her teammates had a misunderstanding and thought it was a person wearing purple clothes. They wanted to go over to 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 is now 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 were a human being, I would be sorry.

Angel and the others didn't know what the short-haired woman was thinking, but they could clearly see her deliberately running toward them. However, they don't care. Everyone has the desire to survive. If there is a problem, if there is no contract, even if the wizards are close friends, they may turn against each other, not to mention that 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 is smoke when running, and you can't see your face clearly... It feels familiar, but I can't remember what kind it is." Kael clasped his eyebrows with his knuckles and kept recalling. .

Vai seemed to recognize him, but he couldn't speak. He could only stretch out his hand and gesture, but it didn't attract Kael's attention.

Doakes, on the other hand, 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 reminded him, Kael seemed to have thought of something: "Is this a Wumugui?"

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 claims to be a scholar. Travelers love to visit ruins, tsk tsk... I don’t think so. The academics always mock the non-academics, but when it comes to fighting, they can’t even recognize their identity.”

Although he was talking to Angel, Kael heard it clearly, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. Even if Doakes bound him to the entire academy, after all, his confirmation was wrong this time.

Kael didn't say anything, and Angel didn't answer either.

Angel also recognized that the monster was a Wu-eyed ghost, but this was because he had seen many corpses of Wu-eyed ghosts in the nightmare world, so he could recognize it. But if it were other monsters, Doakes' words would 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 see it in person and combine it with reality before we can make a conclusion.

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. Doakes said directly: "Vay, I leave this witch-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.

Before, the Wumu ghost chased the short-haired woman, just to tease her, or to see if she could lead him to the human nest to find more delicious food.

When the Wumu ghost fought seriously, its shape could not be seen at all.

Only a thin smoke shadow could be seen, which kept flashing, showing how fast it was.

The earth-type supernatural beings were originally very weak against this kind of speed-type monster, because as long as they stood on the ground, they were at home.

The Wumu ghost could not fly, so how could it fight the earth-type?

But Wai was really hit by what Dox said. He had not fought for a long time, and he used the wrong trick at the beginning.

Wai used a trick similar to "Earth Spike" to try to kill with one blow and show his power. But using this kind of trick is tantamount to competing with the Wumu ghost in speed.

You, an earth-type apprentice, are competing with a monster that specializes in speed. This is purely asking for trouble.

He missed several spikes in a row and was kicked by the Wumu Ghost. Fortunately, he used defense in advance, otherwise this kick would have been enough for him to recuperate for many days.

Wai's misjudgment made Dox look "see, see" again, but in order not to disturb his old friend's fight, he did not make a sarcastic sound, but just kept showing a speechless expression.

However, Wai's misjudgment was not without benefits.

This also made Wumu Ghost feel that Wai was a human transcendent who could be dealt with.

Originally, Wumu Ghost did not intend to fight against human transcendents, but Wai's "weakness" made it feel that it could win. Since it can win, it won't run away. The meat of human transcendents is much more fragrant than that of ordinary people!

This is probably because Wai was still on the first level of misjudgment, but Wumu Ghost thought he was on the second level, resulting in a misjudgment.

Wumu Ghost began to fight Wai with all his strength. The battle was so loud that there was dust everywhere and ghosts were everywhere.

This was no problem for Angel and the others, but the short-haired woman was frightened and collapsed to the ground, constantly retreating, shivering against the edge of a ruin.

She felt like she was in trouble. This group of people were not ordinary people, but some extraordinary people!

In the eyes of ordinary people, wizards are generally both yearning and fearful. They yearn for that kind of magnificent power, and they are also afraid of this kind of power beyond the ordinary. However, in general, they yearn more.

But in the eyes of ordinary people who wander around the garden maze, their attitude towards wizards is more fear than yearning, because if the extraordinary people who come here don’t get anything, they will look for ordinary people’s teams to plunder. It’s okay to just plunder, and some will even take action.

To put it bluntly, it’s a group of junior apprentices showing off and robbing in front of ordinary people.

Now, the short-haired woman has already imagined that Wai and others are this kind of people.

She wanted to run, but the aftermath of the battle was full of momentum to shock everything, and coupled with the previous sprint escape, her legs were completely weak, and she could only lean on the edge of the ruins, trembling and praying that she met a kind of extraordinary person who did not kill people.

The battle between Wumugui and Wai continued.

Wai's initial misjudgment not only made him lose face in front of Dox, but he even heard the cold snort of his adult, and Wai was frightened and sweating.

In the following battle, Wai did not dare to be so unrestrained, and began to follow the rules and fight Wumugui in the normal way.

The so-called normal way is what is taught in the book: turn on the earth force field, reduce the speed of Wumugui, and look for weaknesses and weaken it when the strength is the same; if you are sure of killing it instantly, then directly attack the one-eyed Wumugui.

The teaching in the book is correct, but it is too rigid. Wumugui is also intelligent. If he really finds that he can't beat it, he will definitely run away. How can he inexplicably break into your earth force field?

But this Wumu ghost misjudged Wai's strength.

Under this "beautiful" misunderstanding, it did not run away, but continued to try to get close to Wai and kick him a few more times, trying to see if it could break the defense.

But as it got close, the Wumu ghost found that it had been hit.

Completely different from the last time when it came and went freely, this time when the Wumu ghost entered Wai's side, it was immediately blocked by a layer of pale yellow force field, which blocked its strongest talent - speed.

Without speed, the Wumu ghost was just a slowly moving target.

After all, Wai was a top apprentice, and he had the ability to kill such low-level monsters instantly. He fired three consecutive sharp stone arrows and directly broke the Wumu ghost's single eye on his head.

Accompanied by a burst of sand flying, the Wumu ghost's body fell down.

Wai breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and made a "solved" gesture to Dox.

He didn't know why he made this gesture to Dox, probably to save a little dignity.

Dox rolled his eyes behind Wai's back, but when he faced Wai, he smiled and nodded, thinking of his old friend's self-esteem and the threat of the Black Earl: "Well done."

"Hmph!"

Just as Dox finished speaking, the Black Earl snorted coldly, but it was not directed at Dox, but at Wai.

The stone slab with the Black Earl flew directly from Wai.

He would rather spend energy flying than stay on this stupid descendant. It's a disgrace to their Noah clan!

Wai was a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Angel suddenly spoke up, which was also a relief for Wai: "Come and take a look."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but saw Angel squatting next to the corpse of the Wumu ghost, investigating something.

"What's so good about this? There's nothing valuable on the witch ghost. Unless you sell the whole body, it won't be more than ten magic crystals. You still need this little money?" Dox said.

Angel: "I didn't ask you to see these. I just want to see if you have any special feelings about it? Is your spiritual perception touched?"

Angel stared at Dox without blinking.

Dox said speechlessly: "Do you think I'm a humanoid detector? How can a dead witch ghost be touched?"

Angel touched his chin: "No touch? It shouldn't be."

After all, it was Dox who made the decision, so they decided to come and see the situation of the scream. At that time, Angel thought that it might be that Dox's spiritual perception was touched.

When he saw the witch ghost, Angel was more convinced of this.

Because, in the central area of ​​the underground maze of Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm, which is also the core area, where the Suspended Prison Ladder is located, there are a large number of witch ghosts nearby.

Although there are witch ghosts outside the Suspended Prison Ladder in the Nightmare Realm, it does not mean that there are also witch ghosts in the corresponding places in reality. But this coincidence still made Angel take it very seriously.

"Then use the Eye of True Vision to trace the origin of this witch ghost and see where it came from?" Angel asked again.

"Drilled out?" Dox asked in confusion: "You mean, it used to live in the underground maze?"

Angel: "It's just a guess."

Dox frowned: "Why don't you do it yourself? Why do you have to let me do it?"

The reason why Dox was asked to trace the origin was because of spiritual perception, to see if it would be triggered. However, Angel did not answer, but motioned Dox to do it quickly.

Although Dox was full of complaints, he still did it.

"Continue to the north, at least two miles away, and use the Eye of True Vision to see when you get to the location." Dox said.

This was not the answer Angel wanted. He still asked, "Still no inspiration?"

Dox said unhappily, "I am from the bloodline. Please don't treat me as a prophecy wizard!"

After a pause, Dox's eyes turned and he suddenly said, "If you really want to predict, isn't Lord Black Earl here? He has lived for so long, so he must be involved in the field of prediction. Let Lord Black Earl predict where it will come out from, isn't it enough?"

After Dox finished speaking, he took the lead to look at the stone slab flying in the air.

Angel thought about it and felt that this seemed to be a method, so he also looked at the nose of the Black Earl.

Although the Black Earl knew that it was Dox who was making trouble, he didn't bother to care, because when Angel said that 'this witch ghost might come out from the ground', he had already started to detect in secret.

After a while, the Black Earl said, "I have signed a contract with a prophecy wizard. Under the witness of the Questioning Bell, I can borrow his ability to a limited extent: Lucky Choice."

Lucky Choice, the prophecy technique of the Questioning Bell School, is also an advanced version of Good Luck Two Choices.

It is a bit like lucky detection, which can ask the "yes" or "no" of something.

However, lucky detection is a trick. Its principle is explained in Jon's words, which is "the precise service provided to you by big data", and it is a manifestation of the "computing power" of the prophecy wizard.

Lucky Choice is an extraordinary prophecy technique that really needs the permission of the "Questioning Bell" to be used, and the correct probability is much higher than lucky detection.

"I have just used up the recent number of uses of Lucky Choice, and asked two questions with the corpse of the Wumu Ghost as the medium."

Everyone's attention was immediately focused, wanting to hear what the Black Earl asked.

"The first question is, does it come from the underground maze?"

The Black Earl was silent for a moment, and said, "The answer is no."

Angel frowned, did he make a wrong judgment?

"The second question is, can it be used to find the real entrance to the underground maze?"

This time, the Black Earl answered quickly: "The answer is yes."
