Chapter 535 Escape
Joan flew close to the river for more than half an hour, but his companion was still not seen on the shore, so he couldn't help but secretly anxious.
With his flying speed, he might have already left Clark and the others behind. If he continues to fly forward, the distance between him and his companions will only get further and further away.
After thinking about it, why not try to use the "Wind Information" technique here to contact the lost companions. As long as the straight-line distance between Clark and the others does not exceed 4 miles, he will definitely receive the magic message from him. Guided by magic, he came to meet him.
Qiao An activated two "Sid's mana" to replace it with a second-level spell slot, and was about to cast "Wind News", when there was a mournful howl behind him, as if a wolf was approaching rapidly.
This terrifying howl seemed to contain some kind of mysterious magic power, which could directly arouse the most primitive sense of fear in the hearts of those who heard it.
Qiao An couldn't help trembling all over, and had the urge to run away.
Fortunately, he is a person who is used to seeing bloody storms after all, and his mind is extremely firm, so he quickly forced himself to calm down, and turned his head to look at the place where the howling of wolves came from.
Under the moonlight, a black phantom flew in the sky, blending with the equally dark night.
If it weren't for Joan's sharp eyes after becoming a Yingman, he could hardly see the blurry figure clearly.
Joan was floating above the river, holding his breath, squinting his eyes slightly, and vigilantly observed the hazy black figure in the night sky.
At first glance, it looks like a silhouette cast by a galloping horse in the night. When you look closely, you find that the silhouette of the black shadow is more like a canine animal, except that the neck is too long, and the huge head swings in the air with the neck. A pair of The scarlet eyes looked around, as if searching for something.
Joan had never seen such a monster before, and his intuition told him that this guy was dangerous and came with bad intentions.
At this time, he was still in the "invisible" state. It stands to reason that the dog-shaped monster on the opposite side should not notice him, but Joan soon realized that "invisibility" can only deceive the eyes of the monster dog, but it can't hide it. A nose with a keen sense of smell.
The strange dog didn't fly aimlessly. While flying, it stretched its flexible neck like a python from time to time, sniffing around, and followed Joan's flight path all the way.
The sniffing action of the strange dog made Qiao An feel uneasy.
He couldn't smell anything special about him, but he knew that the sense of smell of canines is far more sensitive than that of humans. If he didn't take precautions, the strange dog would soon sniff out his exact location and pounce on him. Ferocious bite!
"This monster, shouldn't it be a spy sent by Sharman?"
The sense of crisis prompted Qiao An to act immediately, changing the two "Sid's mana" that was originally intended to cast "Wind News" to cast 2-ring "Mirror Shadow".
Put aside the matter of contacting your companions, the most urgent thing is to save your own life under the claws of vicious dogs!
"Wilwa!"
Joan chanted an elf mantra representing "blur" and "phantom" in a low voice, and five phantoms appeared around him, all of which looked exactly like his own image, like a reflection reflected in a mirror. They are all fake!
Driven by the magic power, the five "mirror image clones" transformed by the "Mirror Shadow Technique" moved, circling and flying around Joan's real body, interspersed and wandering. It was difficult for onlookers to distinguish which of the six wandering figures in total True or false.
As soon as Joan completed the "Mirror Image Technique", the strange dog on the opposite side sensed the abnormal disturbance of magic power in the air. Following the tremor of the magic mesh thread, it locked on Joan's position, stretched its neck and howled to the sky, as if sounding a charge horn, Immediately, it swooped over like a dark cloud!
Qiao An moved his mind slightly, and a mirror clone was controlled by his remote control to actively meet the strange dog, and was immediately bitten by the opponent's big mouth full of sharp teeth.
The "mirror image clone" is just a phantom condensed by magic power. It has appearances but no substance. It quietly dissipates the moment it is bitten by a strange dog, like a soap bubble that has been punctured, without leaving a trace of residue.
Qiao An sacrificed a mirror image clone to block the vicious dog's bite, in order to gain time to launch a counterattack.
The distance between the two sides was less than twenty feet. Qiao An didn't care about casting spells, and directly used the "prosthetic eye" to activate the "burning rays". A fiery red beam crossed the night and shot at the strange dog. A pungent burnt smell.
The strange dog howled in anger and pain, trembled violently, and transformed from a real flesh and blood body into an illusory black mist in an instant, and then dissipated out of thin air without a trace.
Joan was taken aback when he saw this, and quickly raised his hand to lightly touch his right eye, and activated the 2-ring prophecy spell "See Through Invisibility" attached to the prosthetic eye. A beam of silver light shot out from his eye, and it swept towards the strange dog like a searchlight and disappeared. airspace.
In the void, a faint gray shadow appeared in Joan's vision, floating at the junction of the "material world" and the "spiritual world", as if looking for a better opportunity to attack.
Qiao An originally thought that the vicious dog had just displayed some kind of invisibility ability, but after seeing the scene in front of him, he suddenly realized that the other party had escaped to the "spiritual world", that is, the "ether plane" that closely fits with the "main material plane". In a "spiritual" state.
Most of the spirit creatures in the world are "ghosts" and other undead, but Qiao An is sure that the strange dog opposite has no negative energy aura, which shows that it is definitely not an undead.
Living spirit creatures are rare, and the other party looks like a huge vicious dog. Joan vaguely remembered seeing similar creatures in the "Fairy Subvolume" of "Vares Monster Illustrated Book". It is an evil spirit named "Yeshi Hound".
Joan had no time to think about why the "Yeshhound" appeared here and was hostile to him. The most urgent task was to try to eliminate this threat.
If the opponent was on the same plane as him, it would not be difficult to deal with, but the vicious dog had already escaped into the spirit world and transformed into a "spiritual creature", which was a bit troublesome.
"Spiritual body" and "invisibility" are two completely different concepts.
A creature being "invisible" simply means that it cannot be seen visually, but it is possible to determine its location through senses such as hearing or smell.
Invisible creatures are still on the original plane, even if you can't see him, throwing a "fireball" in the past may still blow him up.
However, when a creature is in a "spiritual body" state, such as a ghost, such as the strange dog in front of Joan, it has actually left the current world and entered a parallel space called "spiritual world".
People in the physical world cannot perceive the existence of spirits, whether through vision or other senses.
Most weapons and magic cannot harm creatures in the spirit world; on the contrary, although spirit creatures can see people and things in the main material world, they are also unable to harm each other.
