Chapter 2754 Strange Sheep
"Can Lord Black Earl see the situation of Su Ling?" Angel asked.
Angel's question actually has a hidden meaning: Why did Lord Black suddenly become interested in Su Ling's situation?
You know, Lord Black had never shown how much he cared about the battle situation before. Even when Noah's descendant Wai came on the field, Lord Black just watched quietly without making any comments.
Except for Dox's beeping, no other sound could be heard in the mind band.
And this time, Lord Black suddenly joined their discussion and asked about Su Ling directly, which made Angel curious. Did Su Ling encounter something that attracted Lord Black's attention?
Lord Black pondered and said, "I only saw that it did not actively attack the strange sheep."
Lord Black's answer was very brief, but Angel heard two meanings from his words.
First, why did Su Ling not attack the four black-faced sheep?
This is actually what Angel is puzzled about. So far, the four black-faced sheep are still jubilant on the arena, which means that Su Ling did not attack them. It can even be said that Su Ling was blocked by them.
Su Ling is not a life without wisdom. As a mature elemental creature that has lived for a long time, its wisdom is not lower than that of humans. The only difference is the experience of human society.
But facing these four black-faced sheep, the so-called "experience" is not needed at all. Moreover, Su Ling followed them all the way, and it also knew the importance of this duel. It was obviously wrong to suddenly lose the line at this time.
However, what made Angel more concerned was another doubt he heard from the tone of the Black Earl.
Second, strange sheep?
If you listen carefully to what the Black Earl said, you can find that his focus is not on Su Ling, but on this group of black-faced sheep. From this, it can be seen that the Black Earl may not be more concerned about Su Ling, but the group of black-faced sheep.
Moreover, the Black Earl rarely used the word "strange" to describe this group of black-faced sheep.
Although the Black Earl is not known for his erudition, his experience is definitely at the top level in the Southern Region. Even he used the word "strange" to describe it, which is worth exploring.
Angel himself did not pay too much attention to this group of black-faced sheep, because the shepherd had summoned a black-faced sheep to sleep on the sidelines before.
At that time, Angel took a glance and did not feel anything special, only that the black-faced sheep did not look like ordinary creatures. Apart from that, there was nothing worth talking about. Moreover, Angel could not study the sheep summoned by an apprentice in depth.
As for whether it would be a bit abrupt for "sheep" to appear on the arena?
No. The name of "shepherd" says that he is a shepherd, so isn't it normal for him to have a few sheep?
Besides, the shepherd had previously summoned a large number of insects hidden in the dark through the sound of the flute, which shows that the shepherd has experience in controlling creatures. Controlling a few sheep is not difficult.
From the name, to the ability, to the logic, everything matches, so Angel naturally won't pay too much attention to this group of black-faced sheep. But now, the Black Earl has focused on that group of sheep, which means that there may be something strange about this group of sheep.
Angel carefully looked at the four black-faced sheep again.
At first, Angel still didn't see anything special about these four black-faced sheep. The only thing worth mentioning is that these four black-faced sheep can control the power of wind, and from the perspective of energy efficiency, they are almost the same, and the cooperation is very tacit, which makes their combat power directly jump to a level. However, in terms of comprehensive strength, compared with Speed Spirit, it is still a lot worse.
But as Angel began to pay attention to the energy trajectory of these black-faced sheep, he suddenly found that they were a little different from ordinary extraordinary creatures. Almost 90% of the energy they control comes from the outside world.
In other words, they are more like porters of wind elements, and in the entire energy cycle, they are terminal releases.
Ordinary extraordinary creatures basically take external energy into their bodies, convert it, and then release it to the outside world. This is more like a transit medium.
The two are fundamentally different.
After discovering this, Angel began to observe the reason why the black-faced sheep formed this energy control method. This observation brought up more mysteries.
Angel couldn't see the situation inside the black-faced sheep!
To be precise, the situation inside the black-faced sheep was too ordinary. There was no difference between it and ordinary sheep, and even no trace of extraordinary could be felt.
All the wind power seemed to be outside the black-faced sheep.
Before, he thought that the black-faced sheep arranged the wind power outside the body, but now it seems that the wind power outside the body may be the "body" of the black-faced sheep?
But if so, what race are they? Are they really extraordinary creatures?
Angel observed carefully for a long time, but still couldn't accurately judge the ethnic group of the black-faced sheep.
Furthermore, he couldn't even give a clear answer whether the black-faced sheep was a tangible creature or an energy creature.
This is actually an incredible phenomenon.
Because it is not difficult to judge whether it is a tangible creature. Wizards have a spiritual sea and can cultivate spiritual power. As long as they use the vision of spiritual power, they can clearly see the difference between tangible creatures and energy creatures.
Even if they do not use spiritual power, they can make a rough judgment by the degree of interference with the material world.
But these black-faced sheep, whether from the level of tangible creatures or from the level of energy bodies, have some characteristics, but they do not completely conform to one side.
In this situation where neither is involved, it is really difficult for Angel to make a definition.
And it is likely that the Black Earl called these black-faced sheep "strange" sheep because he discovered this.
"Strange sheep?" Dox also heard the conversation between Angel and the Black Earl. He thought for a moment, and then observed the black-faced sheep on the arena, and suddenly understood what the Black Earl meant.
"It seems a bit strange." Dox looked at the black-faced sheep, frowned and whispered.
Although Wai's expression was empty at this time, he did not miss the conversation in the mind band. He also followed Dox's sight and looked at the black-faced sheep on the field.
"My lord, is there anything wrong with these sheep?" Wai couldn't see the abnormality of the black-faced sheep, so he walked to Angel and asked in a low voice.
If it were in the past, Wai would have definitely asked Dox without hesitation, but the situation was special now. Compared to Dox, who would definitely expose his scars, he still believed in his idol a little more.
Wai had left a good impression on Angel all along, so he was not stingy in answering his questions and told him all his observations and guesses.
After listening to Angel's explanation, although Wai still couldn't feel the abnormality of the black-faced sheep, he finally understood the current situation.
"It seems a bit strange to say so. However, could those sheep whose species cannot be seen be summoned by the shepherd from the outside world?"
The summoned objects of the summoning wizards are a very special kind of existence in the wizarding world. Its special features can basically be summarized into two points:
First, the summoned objects are all kinds of strange, big, small, alive, dead, organic, inorganic, among which dead objects account for the vast majority, but even dead objects without life can be of great use as long as they are used properly.
Second, it is related to the origin of the summoned objects. The mainstream method is that the summoning wizard finds a suitable summoned object and signs a contract with it. But there are also some non-mainstream methods, which is to perform random summons through summoning rituals.
This is like drawing a blind box. As long as there are people who are willing to respond to the summons, they can be summoned. However, this method has great disadvantages. Generally speaking, the probability of dead objects being summoned is high because they basically will not resist; and the usefulness of dead objects is limited. If they are summoned and useless, it is equivalent to wasting precious consumables.
Even if a powerful summon is summoned, it may not really sign a contract with you, and it may even be backfired.
Therefore, random summoning is basically a gamble, and most of them are the choices of summoning wizards who have no choice but to have difficulties.
However, there are exceptions. Academic wizards like to use random summons. They summon randomly not for fighting, but to see various different ethnic groups, which can also enrich the research of species.
Because the alien world where the summoned creatures are located is probably less than one ten-thousandth known to wizards, and most of them come from unknown realms.
Moreover, even in a familiar realm, it is not necessarily possible to summon known summons.
Therefore, the summoned creatures summoned randomly can sometimes not be determined by common knowledge.
From the known definition of summons, summons from other worlds are "infinite", while wizards' understanding of summons is currently "limited". It is unreasonable to measure the infinite with the finite, so it is normal for some abnormal summons to appear occasionally.
The black-faced sheep may just belong to this category.
Wai's speculation is not unreasonable. At least Dox nodded repeatedly after listening to it. But at this time, the Black Earl denied it.
"As long as it is a summon from another world, whether alive or dead, it will be contaminated with the breath of another world. This is a breath that is incompatible with the wizard world in the southern region. As long as you have been to the gray trading market of pan-dimensional creatures, or to Lorenbill in Lu Island, you can sense this breath rejected by the world's will on those creatures from other worlds."
"Even if the breath is concealed by inscriptions, as long as you distinguish carefully, you can still feel the abnormality."
Angel knows this abnormal breath that the Black Earl is talking about best. Jon's experience is caused by this breath.
Black Earl: "I can smell them. They are not from another world."
Black Earl currently only has his nose, which is the most sensitive one at present. It can definitely reach the level of the top wizards in the Southern Region. Since Black Earl dared to give the answer with certainty, he must have confidence. This also means that Wai's guess is wrong.
But since they are not summoned creatures, or even creatures from another world, and it is not clear whether they are tangible or intangible, this is very strange.
Where did these four black-faced sheep come from?
When analyzing this, Angel inexplicably thought of Toby who was far away in the Magic Island and was trained by Greya. Toby, as a created creature, is actually a rootless duckweed.
Could it be that... these four black-faced sheep are also creations?
Angel found it a little hard to believe. Greya's creation technique was so strange that the entire Southern Region wizard world was shocked. Even she has only created one sentient creature so far: Toby.
These four black-faced sheep, as can be seen from the previous conversation with the shepherd, are also sentient beings. If they are creations, there are too many of them appearing at once.
Putting aside the unrealistic idea of creations, let's go back to the question raised by the Black Earl at the beginning: What is Su Ling doing?
Why didn't Su Ling attack the four black-faced sheep? Could it be that Su Ling saw the origin of the four black-faced sheep?
Or was Su Ling ambushed by the four black-faced sheep and was forced to be unable to take action?
Perhaps, only Su Ling could give the answer to their doubts about the four black-faced sheep.
But Su Ling didn't even listen to Wai's order now, so it was impossible to get an answer immediately.
Angel could contact Su Ling directly through the contract, but contacting him now would basically be equivalent to directly interfering in the duel. The wise master would definitely not turn a blind eye, so even he could only wait for the duel to end.
The only thing that made Angel feel fortunate about this series of things was that he still had enough trump cards left for Kael.
Although Su Ling was specially used to help Kael deal with the shepherd, it did not mean that other trump cards were useless. Even if Su Ling was down now, as long as Kael used other trump cards, he could at least ensure that he was invincible.
But if he wants to win, it may depend on his own performance... After all, the shepherd's strength is not bad.
...
On the arena, after being approached by the shepherd, Kael did not panic.
After a few brief contacts, Kael understood the shepherd's strategy.
The shepherd's melee strength is quite good. With the addition of wind power, his speed and strength are greatly improved. Especially the significant increase in reaction speed, Kael felt as if he was fighting against a bloodline apprentice.
Almost all around were the shepherd's afterimage. It was caused by the fast speed.
The shepherd continued to attack Wai with high-speed close-range attacks. His target was also very clear, which was Wai's spatial power.
Once the spatial power escaped from Wai, the shepherd would attack quickly.
The release of spatial ability requires concentration, and it is more difficult than other systems, and the backlash is greater. In order to avoid problems and backlash every time the shepherd attacks, Wai must dodge, and once he dodges, he will not be able to continue to cast the spell.
The shepherd used this strategy to block Kael's way.
Kael knew that it would be very disadvantageous to him if he continued like this.
In the situation where Su Ling did not respond and it was difficult for him to break through, Kael made a quick decision and took out another trump card given by Angel.
Kael's hand was inserted into the void out of thin air, and in full view of everyone, a gray-black robe was pulled out of the void by him.
The cut of this robe was very simple, with almost no decoration.
But when Kael put the robe on, there was a burst of surprise from the sidelines.
