Chapter 2745 Latent Shadow

After drinking the potion, Wai made a prompt decision to release the stone prison.

At the moment of releasing the stone prison, Wai's skin also turned to rock.

As the stone prison disappeared, the situation outside was taken into Wai's eyes. At that moment, Wai's pupils shrank suddenly. From the reflection of Wai's pupils, a dark evil ghost mask can be seen, and this mask is worn by the ghost!

This means... the ghost is waiting for him outside the stone prison! Now it is almost standing face to face!

Wai's heart skipped a beat and he attacked the ghost directly.

As soon as his palms overlapped, multiple earth spikes emerged from the palms. After continuous increase and continuous acceleration, the sharp earth spikes can achieve a triple impact, breaking the shield, drilling holes, and breaking bones, layer by layer.

At the same time, the earth spikes released horizontally will form a reaction force, which can immediately retreat and increase the distance.

The earth spikes penetrated the ghost's body smoothly, and Wai successfully distanced himself from it, but he didn't show any joy, because the force feedback brought by the earth spikes was obviously wrong. It was soft, like piercing cotton, not a real person.

When Wai was in doubt, there was a sudden sound of wind behind him.

Without looking back, Wai stepped lightly on the ground, and a stone pillar rose from the ground. Wai stood on the top of the stone pillar and rose directly to the air ten meters high.

Only then did Wai turn his head and look down.

From the shadow of the stone pillar, a human figure slowly separated, and the faded shadow gradually became a real entity, like an ink-colored outline, dyed with color by the painter.

The person who became a real entity was the ghost!

Wai immediately turned back to look at the place where he released the earth spikes before, and the ghost there was gradually fading...disappearing into nothingness.

Fading away, fading out. Although he didn't know what the connection was, Wai understood that the previous move did not cause any damage to the ghost.

At this time, the ghost who had turned into a physical body turned his head sideways, and Wai could clearly see the other party's face. However, the ghost at this time did not wear a mask, and his face was pitch black, like a deep hole.

In Wai's horrified eyes, the ghost's hand slowly raised, and a large number of black spots spread on his hand, and finally combined into an evil ghost mask.

The ghost covered his face with the mask with one hand. As the mask covered, Wai could feel that the face under the mask was recovering from the deep hole to its true appearance.

When the mask was about to be put on, Wai saw the ghost's lips, which were thin and sharp.

The corners of his lips were raised in an arc, as if he was mocking, and as if he was announcing victory.

Wai didn't understand why the ghost suddenly showed his physical body, and why he deliberately uncovered his face and smiled strangely. But this did not prevent Wai from attacking the ghost.

If the ghost was still in the shadow state, Wai might not be able to cause much damage to him, but if you dare to show your true self, Wai is not afraid of facing it head-on.

Wai squatted down, touched the top of the stone pillar with his hand, and a stream of earth power was transmitted downward.

One by one, rock spikes that looked like dragon ribs protruded from the ground and extended in different directions, trying to surround Wai.

When these slightly curved rock spikes were formed into a circle, they could form a dome similar to a prison. Although this dome can trap enemies like the stone prison technique, trapping enemies is not the greatest effect!

This dome is called the Earth Cocoon, which is a secret technique passed down by the Noah clan.

Since it is a secret technique, it naturally has its own unique features. It can create a huge space like a cocoon. When the Earth Cocoon is formed, it can directly deprive the space inside the cocoon of all non-earth active elements.

Once trapped inside, in addition to using the power of the earth, you can only fight hand-to-hand.

It can be said that if the ghost is hit, the battle is basically over.

Moreover, although these rock spikes appear one by one, it seems to be extended very slowly, giving people the illusion that whoever goes up can dodge, but in fact it is not the case.

If an outsider learns the Earth Cocoon, it may indeed make people avoid it. But once the Earth Cocoon released by the Noah clan is released, it will immediately activate the Noah bloodline, and a might will spread to the surroundings along with the appearance of each rock spike.

Once enveloped by the might, there is basically no way to move.

The ghost is currently in the might.

It’s not that the ghost didn’t hide, but Wai cleverly used the stone pillar under his feet as the first "rock thorn" of the Earth Cocoon, and the ghost happened to be next to the stone pillar and was immediately enveloped by the might.

Seeing the rock thorns spread through the "encirclement" method, it will soon form an "Earth Cocoon".

But at this moment, Wai suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and half-knelt on the stone pillar. And the rock thorns also paused for a second at this time.

One second later, Wai didn’t have time to check why he vomited blood, and he looked at the ground at the first time.

The ghost is still there, fortunately...

Wai was about to continue spreading the rock spikes, but suddenly, he thought of something and sent out a small rock spike from the ground, trying to pierce the ghost's body.

But after the rock spike sank into the ghost's body, there was only a soft feeling, exactly the same as the feedback when he used the earth spike to test the ghost for the first time!

This is a fake!

Wai was shocked and immediately stopped the earth cocoon. Although this secret technique is amazing, it is also very costly. If it is released, but a fake ghost is circled, then he will lose a lot.

The words, like dragon bones, sank into the ground again.

Wai observed the surroundings, and the ghost had no idea where it went, and even the previous fake ghost disappeared.

There were no ghosts around, so Vai could only look towards the mist in the distance. If nothing unexpected happens, the ghost must have hidden in the mist again.

But when Vai looked at Misty, his expression became a little frightened.

The fog technique released by the ghost shadow before was obviously spreading very much. Why did it suddenly start to spread faster? !

Moreover, looking at the direction in which the fog is spreading, it is basically coming towards me!

…

"Being fooled again." Doakes sighed softly in the psychic belt.

Kael: "What happened? I think Vai seemed to have the upper hand before. Although I don't know why the rock thorns on the ground were removed later, we should still be evenly matched, right?"

Doakes: "I don't know if they are evenly matched. Because the ghost shadow has never faced Vai head-on. There is no direct contact. How can it be evenly matched? The ghost shadow purely relies on tactics and consumes Vai. The magic of Yi.”

So far, the only tricks ghosts have used are fog and latent shadow.

And the mist technique is not even considered a trick, it can only be said to be a trick. The art of latent shadow itself is the foundation of the shadow system.

Just like the illusion node is to the illusion wizard, the basics can no longer be basic.

Including the shadow clones created are just an application of latent shadow.

As a result, two simple tricks were used to test out Vai's two trump cards. The final outcome of this duel is still unknown, but from a tactical perspective, the opponent completely crushed Vai.

"I kept talking about one theory after another, but when it came to reality, it immediately became apparent." Doakes shook his head and sighed.

"Then you lost to him back then?" Angel's voice sounded in the psychic belt.

Doakes snorted: "I was young back then, and Vai knew all my tactics and abilities very well, but he liked to hide his own abilities. He always said it was a family secret. So, the duel Isn’t it normal to lose sometimes?”

"Also, Vai was very good at layout at that time. When we went out for training, he was the one who controlled the rhythm and solved the puzzles. I just..."

Angel: "Are you just a pendant?"

Doakes choked for a moment, and after a while, he said: "My intuition is pretty good..."

Angel: "In other words, apart from your inspirational talent, you are just a pendant."

Doakes was silent for a moment and did not answer the conversation. Instead, he changed the subject: "Anyway, Vai was quite strong at that time, but after so many years, it was still wasted."

Doakes only dared to stop there, because the reason for the delay was actually related to the Black Earl.

Vai is very wary of the Black Earl and has never dared to practice too radically. This is why Doakes has been an official wizard for many years, while Vai is still hovering at the peak of his apprenticeship.

In order to avoid being controlled, Vai stayed away from Mesoemia for many years. No matter how strong his planning ability was, no matter how sharp his knife was, it would slowly become dull with the passage of time.

Doakes looked at Vai who was dwarfed in the battle. In fact, there was no mockery, but more helplessness and emotion.

"Maybe Vai is planning something now?" After Kael finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the Black Earl, trying to get some clues from the Black Earl. Unfortunately, the Black Earl did not respond at all.

Doakes: "If it is really a plan, then this is too big a deal. A basic trick of using your own cards to deceive the opponent?"

Doakes shook his head: "Besides, didn't you notice that Vai suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood when he released the magic just now?"

Kael naturally saw the scene of Vai vomiting blood. In fact, he always wanted to ask what happened, but seeing that Vai quickly adjusted back, he didn't think much about it and just thought it was a side effect of Vai's ability.

But now listening to what Doakes means, there is actually something fishy in this?

Doakes: "Of course there is something fishy about it, and it's impossible to vomit blood just fine."

When Doakes said this, he did not continue because there were changes again on the arena.

The fog spread, and Vai was completely surrounded by the fog.

Although Vai activated his blood vessels, petrified his skin, and temporarily blocked the invasion of bacterial barriers, he himself was in trouble, and he was in a double dilemma of getting lost and being attacked by a sneak attack.

Although he said he was lost, Vai actually wanted to find a place not covered by fog, but no matter how he walked, he could not get out of the fog.

As for sneak attacks, Vai is constantly plotted by ghosts in the shadows. Even with his petrified skin, he is beginning to be unable to hold on.

"Oh, it's difficult." Doakes sighed.

Kael looked at Vai who was like a headless fly, with a burnt look on his face.

Doakes turned to look at Kael: "How do you think? Do you understand? It's better to understand clearly. Maybe the next game will be you versus the ghost."

After hearing Doakes' question, Kael forced his thoughts away from his worries.

No matter who wins or loses in the end, it's best for him to analyze it himself and see clearly what the key points of victory and defeat are. Otherwise, he may fall into the opponent's trap in the subsequent battle.

And if the ghost is so cunning, aren't the others cunning? Maybe even more cunning.

Thinking of this, Kael began to sort it out from the beginning.

When he reviewed the previous battle, he found that the key point was that Vai suddenly vomited blood, interrupting the cocoon of the earth, allowing the ghost to escape.

If Vai had no problem at that time, Ghost Shadow might have failed.

But why did Vai vomit blood at that time?

According to Dox, there must be something fishy about Wai's vomiting blood. The so-called fishy thing must be what the ghost did.

It could be a conspiracy, or it could be that he did something wrong.

To plot a conspiracy, the ghost must have direct contact with Wai. So far, Wai and the ghost had a contact at the beginning.

At that time, Wai was swept by the ghost's attack from top to bottom and flew more than ten meters away.

This is the only direct contact that Kael remembers. Could it be that the ghost did something when they were in close combat?

Kael thought deeply for a moment and denied this guess. Because after this contact, Kael hid in the stone prison and started taking drugs.

At that time, Lord Red Sword and Lord Chaowei had a conversation. From their conversation, Kael did not hear that Wai was plotted against.

If he was really plotted against, even if Lord Chaowei did not say it, Lord Red Sword would mutter a few words with his personality.

But if we exclude that one contact, they have no contact, right?

Then how did Wai get ambushed?

…

On the arena, Wai was constantly attacked, and every time the ghost retreated, he did not want to fight, nor did he get greedy.

Wai could still resist at the beginning, but when the attacks became frequent and his petrification was also knocked out, he could not bear it.

On one hand, he had to resist the invasion of mycelium, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the ghost, and he was unable to split his attention, and was attacked by the ghost again and again.

Now Wai was beaten with blood all over his body.

However, up to this point, he still had not lost. This means that the ghost did not attack Wai through pheromones.

So, the bottle of pheromone water that Wai drank before was basically in vain.

Under the arena, Kael was constantly reviewing the battle clips, and finally, from countless clips, he found a place that made him feel wrong.

Wai suddenly created a stone pillar before, which was a very strange point.

However, judging from the subsequent reaction, Wai should be avoiding the attack from behind.

Although there was no one behind Wai from Kael's perspective, the real battle was still based on Wai's feelings.

It was strange to create a stone pillar, but the strangest thing was that the ghost really appeared. However, the ghost actually appeared from the shadow of the stone pillar.

This is very strange.

When did the ghost sneak into the shadow of the stone pillar? Also, why did the ghost leave the shadow of the stone pillar? And turned into a physical entity?

When these doubts made Kael feel something was wrong, a picture appeared in his mind again.

Wai stood on the top of the stone pillar, and the ghost left the shadow of the stone pillar.

In this picture, Kael's doubts were about the ghost's motives. But now looking back, he found a blind spot.

When Wai stood on the stone pillar, his shadow was actually connected to the shadow of the stone pillar!

In other words, the ghost left the shadow of the stone pillar, which was equivalent to leaving Wai's shadow!

Ghost is an apprentice of the Shadow Department, and the Shadow Department is best at using the shadow to cause damage to the real body.

From this point alone, it is basically certain how Wai was attacked.

Wai's vomiting blood must be related to this!

And Ghost is an opponent and an enemy on the arena. He can't be so kind as to only cause damage to Wai once.

Since he successfully sneaked into Wai's shadow, he must have done something unknown to Wai at that time.

And could the predicament that Wai is facing now be caused by that time?
