Chapter 2825 Little Bug
"Illusion?" The Black Earl frowned slightly and did not make too many comments. But personally, he doesn't think illusion is a good idea.
The hidden and changeable nature of illusion can indeed be used as an outpost of temptation.
However, when illusions are used against creatures in the material world, their effects are far greater than those against energy creatures. Also, when illusions are used against intelligent creatures, their effects are much greater than those against non-intelligent creatures.
Their current guess about infant spirits is that they are intelligent beings. However, this is just speculation after all.
According to the most primitive state of the infant spirit, it is an undead spirit, a soul with chaotic thinking and only evil thoughts. In other words, infant spirits are both energy creatures and non-intelligent creatures.
In this case, the scope of what illusions can test is limited. Therefore, from the Black Earl's point of view, illusion is an alternative, but it is by no means the best choice.
"I think illusions should be used on the blade." At this time, Doakes said: "As for testing, leave it to me."
What Doakes calls "blade" actually refers to protecting the two apprentices. It's not that he looks down on Angel's illusion skills, but he knows very well that illusions are the best protection for these two apprentices at the moment.
If Angel is distracted and uses illusions, there may be errors in the moving illusion here. Even if it succeeds, it may lead to targeted attacks by infant spirits on the illusion, and the mobile illusion will definitely become a target when the time comes.
Doakes didn't want anything unexpected to happen to Kael and Vai, especially Vai.
Therefore, after weighing the situation, Doakes decided that it would be better to test it out on his own.
"You were hesitant before, why are you suddenly brave now?" Angel raised his eyebrows.
Doakes shrugged: "It's different. It's not like going on the road in person. If it's just testing, then it's definitely fine. I've done a lot of testing this way of living... ugh!"
In the first half of the sentence, Doakes was normal, but at the end of the sentence, Doakes suddenly showed a ferocious expression, and then in full view of everyone, he vomited out a fat, slimy little meat bug.
Angel knew that this palm-sized meat worm was a kind of larvae of sandworms, but even if he knew it, when he saw Doakes spitting out of his mouth, and there were still bright water drops hanging on the body of the meat worm, he was stunned. Feeling queasy.
Angel finally managed to hold back the surging gastric juices. However, Vai, who was peeking behind everyone, couldn't hold back and covered his mouth and kept retching.
After a while, Vai calmed down a little.
"You are like this every time, when will you get used to it, my old friend~" Doakes looked over with concern.
Vai wiped the saliva from his mouth when he was retching, and gave Doakes a vicious look.
He did not answer Doakes, but complained to Angel aggrievedly: "Doakes, this guy didn't actually take sandworm larvae like this a long time ago..."
In the past, Doakes would just flip his hand and the larvae would appear in his palm. The larvae came out directly from under the skin. Although it still looked a little uncomfortable, Doakes' "turning his hands" movement covered the process of the larvae emerging, so overall, it looked normal.
But once, when they were taking risks, they encountered a crisis. Doakes' whole body was put into a coffin-like but iron torture instrument, with only his head exposed.
In order to save himself, Doakes used his mouth as a medium for the first time and spit out the saliva-covered larvae.
It was also that time when the young and ignorant Vai saw this scene and vomited it out.
Doakes seemed to find it interesting to watch Vai vomit, and from then on, every time he summoned larvae in front of Vai, he would vomit with his mouth.
After Vai finished complaining to Angel, the grievance on his face still did not disappear.
Angel looked at the joking Doakes, and then at the aggrieved Vai, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart... How did he become an arbitrator? Does he need to express his opinion on such a trivial matter?
Although Angel didn't want to speak, but when Vai looked at him with scorching eyes, he still said perfunctorily: "This kind of behavior is indeed very bad."
Although Angel didn't say anything else, Vai was very satisfied and let out a breath of bad breath.
In Vai's opinion, Doakes will most likely follow Angel in the future, and he will listen to Angel's words no matter what.
Doakes said innocently: "Is it bad? I think it's normal."
Angel sneered: "If you vomit out my little little gold and little little gold like this, I will sew your throat with a needle on the spot. I have a lot of experience in making clothes. Trust me, I will definitely sew it up for you." "
Doakes fell silent for a moment. Just before Angel said he was bad, he really thought about spitting out Xiao Jin in front of him in the future...
Seeing Doakes's silence, Vai cheered even more in his heart, and looked at Angel with even more admiration.
After the small interlude passed, the Black Earl looked at Doakes: "Are you going to use this sandworm to test?"
Doakes nodded: "This sandworm is an ordinary sandworm, but I can sense everything it senses through the power of blood. Even if the sandworm is discovered and killed, it will not have much impact. ”
At this point, Dox suddenly took out a small bottle from his pocket with a mysterious look on his face: "Do you know what's in this? Hehe, I secretly collected some smells from the stinking ditch before and put them in here. I will contaminate the sandworms later. In this way, when the sandworms crawl in, they can disguise themselves as small bugs running out of the stinking ditch, which is more concealed!"
Black Earl: "You have made a lot of preparations."
Dox smiled proudly: "Of course, it's not easy to come to the underground sewer. If you don't take anything away, it's a pity."
This sentence sounds fine, but Dox can think of collecting the smell of the stinking ditch and taking it away, which really makes everyone speechless.
Even the Black Earl didn't know what to say. Praise? Compliment? Scold? None of them are good, or... forget it.
Angel: "Are you sure that the alien infant spirit knows the smell of the stinky ditch?"
Dox: "It doesn't matter whether it knows or not, it's just a test."
Angel: "..."
Dox happily unscrewed the bottle cap and threw the larvae into the bottle to soak in the "pickled" smell.
Although Angel was not interested in creatures like worms, he turned his head away when he saw the larvae struggling in the bottle. It was not pity, but simply because he thought that Dox seemed a little... perverted? He was a little doubtful now, was it a good choice to recruit Dox?
When Dox took the larvae out again, it was already stained with the stench of the stinky ditch.
However, after all, it was not "pickled" for too long, and the smell was not too pungent. Compared with the smell in the stinky ditch, it was still much more normal.
Even the Black Earl did not avoid it, which shows that the power of this smell has decreased.
In this regard, Dox is very optimistic: "Too pungent would be too much, this is just right."
While speaking, Dox looked at Angel: "I have come this far, it's time for me to test it, right?"
Indeed, Dox has pickled the larvae, and it would be inappropriate for him to refuse.
Angel nodded: "Then you test it."
"Okay! Don't worry, I will definitely bring the most effective information!" Dox put the larvae on the ground, relying on the characteristics of the mobile illusion, the sound will not be transmitted to the outside world, so he shouted loudly: "Attack, little stink bug!"
Angel:...Do you have a name so soon?
Watching the sandworms slowly drill into the shallow ground and crawl forward bit by bit, Angel whispered: "If this little sandworm is not dead, will you recycle it?"
Before Dox spoke, Wai answered: "Of course! Dox loves his sandworms very much and cherishes them very much. Don't think he is happy now, it's just an appearance, he may be crying in his heart!"
Dox looked puzzled: "???"
He has a lot of sandworms, and it doesn't hurt to consume a few.
Of course Wai knew that Dox didn't mind consuming some ordinary sandworms, but as long as he spoke first, he would confirm Dox's love for sandworms and praise Dox to a high place. Would he refuse?
"Dox's love for the sandworm is sincere. This also shows that he is actually very moral. He will cherish even the worm as before. Not to mention interpersonal communication?"
"Right, Dox?"
Dox nodded blankly: "Well, it should be."
Way smiled and continued: "So, if this sandworm is not dead, I believe Dox will definitely recover it. And Dox will definitely take it back the same way!"
Way's last gritted teeth words exposed his thoughts.
He just wants Dox to take the sandworm back the same way! Don't you like to perform spitting sandworms? Wait, you will swallow it again!
Dox looked at Wai with a shocked face, and he also understood what Wai meant at this time. Wai wants to swallow the sandworm contaminated by the stinky ditch by himself? !
"You are so vicious..."
Wai pretended to be ignorant: "Ah? What are you talking about? Don't you love sandworms? Then you can't be trusted. You don't even love the sandworms deep in your own blood, let alone love others?"
Wai said this to Angel, telling Angel that if Dox didn't love sandworms, he would be a traitor.
If Dox loved sandworms, An would definitely recover the sandworms the same way!
Dox was speechless. He couldn't really say that he didn't love sandworms. If he didn't love them, how could he take sandworm blood as his main blood.
But if he said he loved them, he would fall into Wai's trap...
Too vicious!
Dox turned his head and looked at Angel. He believed that Angel could see through Wai's plan and give him justice!
But Dox found the wrong person.
How could Angel not see Wai's trap? After all, he was the one who started the topic.
Originally, Angel wanted to set the trap himself, but he didn't expect that Vay understood it so quickly, and directly interrupted him, and also gave Dox a value, lifted him up to the sky with morality, and then threw him down hard.
This is even more cruel than Angel's original idea... This is really, too good.
Angel: "Vay is right."
Dox looked at Angel in astonishment, not believing his ears.
Vay also hit the snake with a stick at this time: "The master is right too!"
Dox felt dizzy, and the whole person seemed to be in an endless ice field. The biting cold wind blew from the skin into the bones, and even the blood was frozen...
The Black Earl: "Put aside the idle talk, your sandworm is about to touch the weaving web."
Dox immediately returned to the real world from the ice and snow, and regardless of Angel and Wai's singing in unison, he carefully observed the movements of the sandworm.
Angel and Wai did not interrupt at this time. It was okay to adjust the atmosphere occasionally, but when it was time to do business, they must not let it go.
At this time, Dox's chubby sandworm had left the mobile illusion.
But even so, it did not attract the attention of the infant spirit in the distance.
This actually confirmed the Black Earl's speculation that the infant spirit was controlled, or in other words, the infant spirit had wisdom. Otherwise, with the infant spirit's sensitivity to the breath of living things, it would definitely be impossible for it not to smell the smell of the sandworm.
The infant spirit has not appeared yet. Is it planning to... wait for them to enter the net?
And what it relies on is these woven nets and red wax?
These questions are not known for the time being, but now we can use the sandworm to explore the effect of the red wax and woven nets.
Although the red wax is spread all over the ground, it can be avoided by climbing the wall or the ceiling. But the weaving net is not okay, the weaving net is densely packed and locks all the gaps on the four walls.
Now, it depends on what Dox decides.
Should he walk directly on the ground and touch the red wax first, or go around the red wax to touch the weaving net?
Dox touched his chin and finally decided to go around the red wax first. Because the red wax sandworm can go around, they can also go around.
But the weaving net is not okay, they must face the weaving net, so first see what effect the weaving net will cause, which is the most critical thing at the moment.
After making the decision, the sandworm began to crawl towards the wall, climbing up little by little, and no one stopped the whole process.
When it climbed to the ceiling, the sandworm began to move forward.
Soon, the sandworm entered the range of the red wax, but the sandworm was on the ceiling and did not touch the red wax.
However, just when everyone thought that the sandworm had successfully bypassed the red wax, Dox suddenly frowned and said, "My control over the sandworm seems to have decreased."
Angel asked in confusion, "Control decreased?"
Dox was silent for a moment, and then said, "It may be my illusion."
Everyone looked at Dox in confusion, and Dox didn't know how to explain. He felt that his control over the sandworm had indeed decreased before, but now it seemed to be back. So, he said it was an illusion.
But not long after he finished speaking, Dox felt that his control over the sandworm had decreased again. Dox was about to explain to everyone that his control over the sandworm had returned again.
Next, in a distance of just a few meters, Dox felt that his control over the sandworm seemed to be on a roller coaster, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Dox did not say this situation for the time being, mainly because although the control was a little strange, the sandworm's goal did not change, and it still crawled towards the woven web as always.
Dox wanted to wait until the sandworm was caught by the woven web before seeing any changes.
