Chapter 2682: Luring the Enemy

"Why do they want to explore the void?"

When Doakes came back from his "zombie run", he found that Angel and Kael had wandered into the void. The "angry" acting skills that he had prepared were temporarily useless; he could only suppress his emotions and show off to others. Find out why Angel did this.

Vai shook his head: "I don't know. I just said that I wanted to try it..."

Vai didn't hide anything, and roughly explained the previous situation.

After Doakes heard this, not only was his doubts unsolved, but he became even more confused.

Exploring the void itself is very strange. Because the Ladder to Prison is also in an alien space, the void here is separated from the real void and is full of man-made traces, so there is basically not much exploration value.

Moreover, if you really want to explore the void, why would you choose here? You know, there are quite a lot of space cracks here, and it is obviously an unstable area of ​​space. Why would you actively put yourself in danger when you know that there are many dangers?

"The only reason that can be explained is that he may have discovered some clues that forced him to take this path." Doakes expressed his guess.

After finishing speaking, his eyes glanced at the wise master intentionally or unintentionally. His words were addressed to the wise ruler, because only the wise ruler knows what is going on in the void.

At first, Doakes' eyes were very reserved, just "hints"; later, when he saw that the wise master ignored him, he began to become bolder, and his "hints" became "express", and he almost didn't stand in front of the wise master to give instructions. I asked, rubbing his nose.

The wise master was a little annoyed by Doakes's increasingly "obvious" eyes, and finally said: "Apart from the space cracks that are constantly arising and dying, I don't know what else is worth paying attention to there."

"So, there's nothing over there? Only danger?" Doakes touched his chin and muttered, "That's strange."

Not only Doakes was confused, but everyone present was also confused. Even wise men are surprised as to why Angel suddenly wanted to explore this void. It is obviously a high-risk area for space cracks and there cannot be anything valuable there.

Just when everyone was full of questions, Kael, who was sitting not far away, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Why did you wake up first? Where's Jin?" Doakes stepped forward and asked as soon as he saw Kael wake up.

It took Kael a few seconds to come to his senses, but when he came to his senses, he did not look at Doakes, but instead looked at Angel on the other side.

Seeing that Angel was not awake, Kael's expression was complicated, including worry, fear and anxiety.

"What are you thinking about?" Doakes spoke again, and Kael turned to look at him. Doakes quickly asked: "Where is Jin?"

Kael shook his head: "We fell into a dangerous area full of cracks in the new space. After protecting me and evacuating, the adults did not leave with me, but entered the dangerous area alone again."

"So persistent? Is there anything in that dangerous area that attracts him?" At this time, the Black Earl, who had been silent, also asked.

Kael still shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. Your Excellency didn't tell me anything. He just asked me to take him to avoid the space cracks. He can go as far as he wants."

Black Earl: "He will not go deep into the danger zone for no reason. There must be some external motivation pushing him forward."

But what this "external motivation" is, the Black Earl doesn't know yet. If it were anyone else, most external motivations could be called 'interests', but for Angel, pure interests may not be able to attract him.

But if there really is something in the danger zone that attracts him, then did the wise master lie before?

Just when the Black Earl was secretly guessing, Kael suddenly said loudly: "He's back, my lord is back."

The Black Count turned around and saw that Angel had indeed opened his eyes, but his face was a little pale and there was obvious fatigue in his eyes.

Black Earl: "Your mental power...is damaged?"

Angel nodded: "I was very unlucky. I encountered some dangers. I had no choice but to give up a piece of the spiritual tentacle."

As soon as Angel finished speaking, he saw both Kael and Vai looking at him with worried eyes.

Kael's worry probably stems from guilt; Angel can't understand Vai's worry, but there is no doubt that their emotions are sincere.

Thinking of this, Angel added: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."

What Angel said "very quickly" was really very quickly. In less than two minutes, his face gradually returned to rosy.

The restoration of his complexion meant that Angel was fine at this time and would no longer be affected by the dizziness caused by the loss of mental power.

However, the lost mental power can no longer be recovered, which means that although his overall feeling has been restored, his strength has actually declined.

However, this loss of mental power is just a drizzle to Angel, and the decrease in strength is minimal. Even if he only relies on two or three hours of meditation a day, he can fully recover in a week at most.

So when Angel said "don't worry about him", he really didn't need to worry.

"Why are you going to explore the void?" Seeing Angel recover, Doakes immediately stepped forward and asked curiously.

"Try a little bit." Angel's answer was still as perfunctory as before.

Doakes continued to ask without giving up: "What are you trying to do?"

Angel did not answer immediately, but first signaled to Kael that he could go. Then he turned around and walked back to the way he came, saying to Dox: "Try to explore the void here."

"Why do you want to explore the void? And, wouldn't it be better to explore the void in other places?" Dox immediately followed.

Facing Dox's questioning, Angel was neither hurried nor slow, as if he had been prepared: "The more space cracks there are, the lower the shackles of the magic array will be, and the more information you can see. So, I chose a dangerous area, maybe I can take this opportunity to see some clues."

Angel's meaning was very clear, he was going to analyze the underlying rules of the magic array of the Suspended Prison Ladder.

This answer sounded fine, and most people accepted this reason. They witnessed Angel's powerful control over the magic array along the way. Therefore, it is indeed possible for Angel to explore the underlying rules of the magic array and take the initiative.

Moreover, thinking about it this way, Angel's actions are understandable.

However, they accepted this answer, but the wise master could not accept it. It was not that he did not believe in Angel's magic array level, but he did not understand why Angel had to analyze the magic array of the Suspended Prison Ladder?

He did not believe in the reversal of the guest and the host. Even if Angel had the complete blueprint of the Suspended Prison Ladder magic array, he could not do it, because the magic array here was connected to the outside world; unless Angel controlled the magic array of the entire underground waterway, he would have the confidence to reverse the guest and the host.

In addition, Angel's goal was to find the wood spirit. The wood spirit and the magic array have no subordinate relationship. Even if Angel controlled the magic array of the Suspended Prison Ladder, he might not be able to find the hidden wood spirit.

Just like the wise master can now barely control the magic array of the Suspended Prison Ladder, but even so, he has to start from the beginning every time he enters the Suspended Prison Ladder to find the wood spirit.

So, it sounds like the wise master does not think that what Angel said is true.

But if it is not true, why did he go to that dangerous area?

Just as Dox concluded: There is only danger at the end, no opportunity.

In this case, unless Angel is looking for death, there is no reason to go to the dangerous area.

The wise master wanted to ask the doubts in his heart, but he felt that this was a bit too much. Maybe Angel's purpose was to create confusion and confuse his mind?

Thinking of this, the wise master still suppressed his thoughts and focused on observation.

In the eyes of the wise master, the answer summarized from observing a person's behavior pattern and thinking method is often more credible than the answer he gets from others.

Angel was a little surprised by the silence of the wise master. He was ready to tell everything, because this was not a big secret.

At most, he would be laughed at for being deceived. Moreover, after talking about it, Angel could openly ask the wise master what exactly resonated with the cane.

After all, he still didn't explore to the end this time. Without Kael's perception of space, Angel entered the danger zone by himself and could only move by luck. Good luck would not always favor Angel. In the end, he was crushed by a new space gap and stopped at the end.

But what Angel did not expect was that the wise master actually resisted asking, and others believed his lies. This made Angel think in his heart: Has his lying skills improved? Can a lie that he told casually be concealed?

Since no one else questioned his words, Angel gave up the idea of ​​explaining.

Although he would not mind being laughed at, he would try his best to save face.

…

Back to the fork in the road. They chose the left before, but this time they can only choose the right.

"If the wood spirit is really on the right, then you use the cane to guide the direction, which is quite accurate." Dox stood in the middle of the fork in the road. Not long ago, Angel stood here and threw out the cane. Although the cane pointed to the right, Angel chose the left.

"Come to think of it, why did you choose the left side just now? The cane clearly fell to the right."

Angel looked back at the way he came, and confirmed that the cane was no longer hot and resonating, then he said: "Because I don't believe in fate."

"???" Dox was puzzled.

"So, I chose to go to the left first." Angel shrugged.

Dox was stunned for a long time before he realized that Angel was saying that the direction where the cane fell was the guidance given by "fate", but he just didn't believe in fate, so he went against it.

Dox understood, but couldn't figure it out. There was no logic in it, and it sounded like a naughty child fighting with his parents.

"Are you perfunctory to me?" Although it was a question, Dox's tone was very firm.

"Guess?" Angel neither admitted nor denied, but skipped Dox and walked directly into the depths.

Angel's "bad behavior" successfully reminded Dox of the anger that was dominated by Angel before. Dox also transformed into a roaring sandworm and began to chatter in Angel's ear, accusing and criticizing him.

However, Dox only chattered for a minute before he found that he could not speak.

To be precise, it was not that he could not speak, but that his voice seemed to be separated by a thin film and could not be transmitted to Angel's ears at all.

However, Wai, the Black Earl, the Wise Lord and others could hear it clearly.

Moreover, Dox's voice no longer produced high and low notes due to the distance, but crackled directly into their ears. It was as if Dox was speaking in their ears.

... It was not as if, but really, Dox was speaking in their ears.

Although Dox was far away from them in the live illusion, in reality, Dox was right beside them.

In other words

"He has deprived you of your sound illusion node. Now you speak directly in reality, not in the illusion." The Black Earl paused and warned Dox in the mind band: "You'd better shut up. I don't want to hear you yelling in my ear. Or do you want to try the taste of being banned in reality?"

Faced with the threat of the Black Earl, although Dox was very angry, he could only endure it.

Since he couldn't speak, Dox began to bombard continuously with the mind band. However, both the Black Earl and Angel had blocked their mind bands at this time. Even the Wise Lord who eavesdropped on their conversation was dissatisfied with the noise in the mind band and took the initiative to withdraw from the mind band.

Now, the only people that Dox can complain to are Wai and Kael.

However, although Dox is noisy, he is also sensible. He can express himself unscrupulously with Angel and others, but he has to restrain himself when talking to apprentices.

After all, the Wise Lord is still around, and he doesn't want Wai and Kael to reveal more information because of him.

However, Dox is still a little unwilling. Since he can't say anything, he simply runs to Angel's side, like a hidden fox, squinting his eyes and staring at Angel all the way.

At first, Angel felt a little awkward, but later he didn't take it seriously at all. Anyway, it's all illusions, and they can't do anything to him, so just treat it as a movable pendant.

With this thought in mind, Angel ignored Dox and started thinking about other things.

The initial resonance position of the cane was on the left, and it has now been confirmed that the left side is a dangerous area where space cracks are constantly appearing and disappearing.

If this was the work of the wood spirit, does it mean that the wood spirit was planning to lure him into the trap at the beginning, and if possible, it would be best to die in the space crack over there?

If this is true, then why did the wood spirit change its mind later and move the resonance position to the right?
