Darkness is the eternal theme in the long and hard to see channel.
However, it is not always dark here. When someone comes, there will be lights to guide the way forward.
At this time, there was a small sound of footsteps in this channel.
With the deepening of footsteps, the lights on the wall lit up one by one, illuminating all the way to the end within the reach of the naked eye.
"Is this the arrangement dominated by the wise?" Dox went to a wall candle and observed it carefully for a moment: "it seems very ordinary. The quality of lamp oil is also general, but it's better than a large quantity. If you take it all away, you should be able to sell it at a good price."
"Lord Chao Wei said that the wise man dominated the arrangement. He just said to guide the way through the light of the wall candle, not to give it to you as a gift." Vye speechless make complaints about Tao.
After being scolded by the black count, DOX has intensified. He doesn't even want to let go of these wall candles. But what count Black said is not just "magic crystal"!
Dox: "the wise master didn't forbid me to take it, did he? If I didn't forbid it, I would acquiesce."
"That's what I said." Angel turned to dox: "but dare you take it?"
Dox's mouth was blazing for a long time. He didn't start. He knew that he didn't dare to move. After all, this is an underground waterway covered with a large number of magic energy arrays.
Just because he didn't do it doesn't mean he doesn't want it. Don't you want to attract angel's attention by saying such a long string?
"As long as you say you can take it, why don't I dare to take it! After all, I want to work for you. You shouldn't die?" Dox's tone was firm in the front, but the style of the second half of the sentence turned sharply downward. Don't be too flattering.
When Wai saw this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.
Previously, DOX looked like a tough man, with a firm face and didn't want to lose his freedom; But since he owed Angel debt and made up his mind to "sell labor", he has changed. I don't know, I thought he was angel's servant
Of course, in the future, if DOX really "sold his body", he will indeed be angel's servant. But from angel's disdainful eyes, VAI can read that what Angel needs is only DOX's "labor", not his people. It can only be regarded as the relationship between employers and labor.
No matter what the final result was, the change of DOX really surprised VAI.
"You can take it." When Angel finished, he looked at DOX.
Dox did not move, but continued to look at angel.
After a while, angel finally sighed and said the second half: "as long as you are not afraid of death, you can take it."
"As I expected, there must be a proviso." Dox muttered, but he didn't care. There were many holes by angel all the way. Even without inspiration, he felt that angel might be hurting him.
In other words, the more calm and obedient angel is, the more unbelievable he is to dox. It is estimated that the reason for "obedience" is to hold back bad water.
Angel: "these wall candles are associated with the magic energy array, but the connection is weak."
As he spoke, angel walked to a wall candle. He cut off several energy flows at will and took the wall candle down without any abnormality around.
Angel threw the wall candle in his hand to dox: "since you want it so much, I'll leave it to you as a souvenir. I believe the wise master should not be reluctant to give up these wall candles."
Dox: "I don't want one. Since it's so simple, I might as well put all these..."
Before DOX finished, angel's smile began to become kind.
Dox subconsciously shut up. Whenever angel showed this smile, it must be nothing good.
"Do you want me to spend a lot of time and magic to help you break off all these wall candles?" Angel smiled.
Dox: "I... I, I just said, if you're free."
Angel: "if I use the same time and the same magic, I should be able to refine more than ten times the total price of these wall candles."
Dox: "..." listen, listen, is this human speech?
Although DOX strongly restrained his inner emotions, the inadvertent envy in his eyes exposed his mind.
Angel rejected DOX's proposal with "euphemism" and went on.
Dox hurriedly followed: "since these are not for us, what is the surprise said by the wise master?"
Angel: "you ask me, who am I going to ask?"
Angel and count black had communicated with the wise master for some time, but they all talked about the next schedule and didn't mention any "surprise" at all.
Before the wise master left, he suddenly said that he had left a surprise in the way ahead, which made Angel wonder.
However, compared with DOX's expectant eyes, angel is not optimistic about the so-called surprise.
Surprise can be literal, but it can also be irony. It all depends on the context and the character of the speaker.
If this was said by the white Wizard of the Academy, angel would believe it. But the wise master... Angel still has to draw a question mark.
Not only angel thought so, but VAI obviously thought so: "maybe there is surprise or joy."
Dox: "if I'm really surprised, I'll..."
"What are you doing?" VAI glanced sideways at DOX: "are you... A sixth?"
As soon as he heard "one sixth", DOX wilted again, bowed his head and sighed, and even his walking steps became vain and weak.
But DOX just walked a few steps. He just heard a "bang -" and his head hit the iron sheet directly.
Dox stepped back with his head covered and swearing.
When he reached a safe distance, he looked up and found that what he hit was not an "iron sheet", but an alchemical puppet.
This alchemy puppet is the one possessed by the speed spirit. Since he possessed the body, angel has not let the speed spirit retreat.
Earlier, DOX also asked Angel why. Angel explained that suling didn't want to come out.
It's probably that Su Ling has always been in an energy state and has a body for the first time... Although it's only a steel body, it's also a very wonderful experience for it.
It's rare that Su Ling asked angel to continue to experience the alchemy puppet.
Angel would not refuse such an insignificant request. Besides, the combat power of quick spirit is not the focus in this team, but its ability to perceive the wind. The body of the alchemy puppet does not limit the perception of the fast spirit. On the contrary, the embedded magic energy array makes the fast spirit's ability to perceive the context of the wind stronger.
Dox saw that he hit suling, and he could only admit that he was unlucky. It was useless to protest with suling, and it would not pay attention to anyone except Angel; As for protesting with angel, because he was still in debt and DOX was not confident enough, he had to give up.
When DOX was silent, cael went to angel and asked curiously, "Sir, have you found anything?"
Dox bumped into the alchemy puppet because angel suddenly stopped. Naturally, the gold smelting puppet guarding the side also stopped, which led to dox inadvertently touching the wall.
Angel, who stopped, looked around suspiciously, as if he were looking at something.
This is also the reason why Kael came forward to ask.
Angel: it just told me that there are hidden creatures nearby
Angel explained as he raised his stick and gestured against the wall. This is also to tell people that it was this walking stick that found the "hidden creature", that is... Mu Ling.
According to angel, when they came near, the vine whiskers on the walking stick moved secretly and lingered on angel's palm.
At first, angel thought it was Mu Ling who was "spoiled", but later, after careful perception, he found that Mu Ling wrote words in his palm.
The content is that there are hidden creatures nearby.
Angel has been looking around for this so-called hidden creature. However, no matter how he looked, he found no clue.
He looked at the black count again, and the black count gave the same answer. The black count didn't smell any special smell around him.
"Are those dog holes?" VAI asked curiously.
Dox: "isn't it a dog hole? Don't you know? There's no dog hole around."
Vay ignored DOX and continued to look at the black count.
The black count did not speak, but fell from mid air and directly attached to the black hole where VAI's nose was located.
Once integrated again, VAI himself can smell the smell around him.
"No taste." Wai sighed.
Since even the black count can't smell it, how can Mu Ling know that there are hidden creatures around? People looked at Angel curiously... If they looked at Mu Ling, Mu Ling would be timid, so they could only use angel as a messenger.
Angel didn't answer immediately because Muling's "writing" speed was too slow. Angel wanted it to speak, but Muling ignored it and had to give up.
After a long time, angel finally finished reading the news written by Mu Ling.
"Because the hiding method used by the hidden creature belongs to the same vein as the wood spirit. Therefore, the wood spirit can perceive it."
As for why there are creatures with the same vein and hiding ability with Mu Ling, according to Mu Ling, it should be related to the domination of the wise.
When the wise master taught the wood spirit, he also studied the ability of the wood spirit and took the derivatives that had been shed by the wood spirit.
The wise master takes derivatives, and the wood spirit doesn't matter. After all, the wise master is its enlightening teacher.
The wood spirit can smell the smell of its derivatives in the breath of hidden creatures.
"So, the hidden creatures are the ghosts made by the wise master? No, this is what the wise master calls a surprise?" Dox doubted.
Angel: "yes or no, you have to find it before you know."
Dox: "since the wood spirit can perceive it, let the wood spirit find it directly."
Angel originally meant it, but
"The hidden creature has been moving. It's too late to rely on the writing speed of Mu Ling alone."
Before, Mu Ling also said that the other party was right in front, but after a while, he changed and said it was right in front.
Most importantly, Mu Ling seems to have some "obsessive-compulsive disorder". It is very persistent to write prefixes.
Originally, you can directly use the direction of the vine to indicate the position, but mu Ling doesn't want it, he has to write, and the beginning of each writing is: "it's in a certain position."
The prefix in front is unnecessary, but mu Ling writes repeatedly, which makes its writing speed no faster than the other party's change speed. In this case, it's really difficult to rely on the wood spirit to find the hidden creature.
Dox: what now
Angel thought for a moment, looked at the long corridor ahead and said slowly, "hunting."
Hunting, a hunter's term, refers to the action of encircling and exterminating by limiting the moving range of prey.
Angel said here that he didn't really want to "hunt", but he was more prominent in "hunting".
Since we can't find each other now, we can simply limit the scope. As long as we keep limiting the scope, we can trap each other after all.
Of course, if the other party really wants to run, he can run out.
But the other party has the smell of wood spirit and may also be related to the wise master. Even though angel said he was not sure, he still thought that this might be the surprise said by the wise master.
Since it is a surprise, whether there is surprise or joy, or whether there is surprise or no joy, we must contact to know.
If contact is the other party's purpose, it will certainly not run away with one heart. As long as it delineates a range and slowly limits the other party's moving space, it can find the other party sooner or later.
It's a stupid way, but it's a good way here.
How strong is mu Ling's hiding ability? They know very well that angel happened to see Mu Ling.
This time, another existence with the same origin hiding ability as Mu Ling appears. There is no clever way, so we can only rely on stupid ways.
If the stupid way doesn't work in the end, and the other party still doesn't want to show up, then... It's just.
As angel said before, he didn't expect any surprises.
It's good to have surprise and joy, but it's not bad to have no surprise and no joy.
……
Because this is a covered corridor with walls on both sides, hunting is very simple.
Angel takes his feet as the boundary, connects the left and right walls, and delineates half a range.
In the other half of the range, move forward from the speed spirit, find a position to surpass the other party and circle another boundary.
The process of quick spirit surpassing the other party's position is bound to be found by it. If it escapes, let it go. When it doesn't happen.
If the other party doesn't escape, the hunting will be more than half successful.
The hunting operation officially began. Angel easily delineated the boundary, while the quick spirit manipulated the alchemy puppet and rushed forward at a very fast speed.
A few seconds later, Mu Ling wrote in angel's palm: "more than."
Angel waited for a few more seconds, determined that Mu Ling didn't mean to modify, and finally motioned for Su Ling to place the boundary of the other end.
Soon, a 200 meter "hunting corridor" was separated by them.
After all this, angel confirmed to Mu Ling again whether the other party was in the hunting range.
The final answer: "in."
