Chapter 2633 Vine Wall

"The Black Earl's inspiration is really right. We didn't encounter any monsters."

After walking for a distance, they still didn't encounter any monsters. Kael, who was a little nervous, couldn't help but sigh at this time.

However, just as Kael finished sighing, Angel suddenly stopped.

The people who didn't use their mental power to explore looked at Angel in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Dox asked in confusion.

"Ermi felt that a large number of living bodies were hidden nearby. If nothing unexpected happened, we should have encountered monsters..." Angel said softly.

As Angel finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Kael.

Kael was still sighing that he didn't encounter monsters in the previous second, and the monster appeared in the next second. Although everyone knew it was a coincidence, it was too "coincidental".

"Before you said I had a bad mouth, now you see who has a bad mouth." At this time, Dox spoke up: "Kael, didn't I tell you before I came not to talk nonsense? You have a bad mouth, and you know it. Alas, I took the blame for you for so long, really."

Kael said a little aggrieved: "You didn't tell me before you came, no, I don't have a bad mouth, this time, this time..."

Dox said proudly: "What about this time? You want to say it's an accidental coincidence, how can it be so coincidental!"

Kael pursed his lips, and the anger lingered in his chest, but he couldn't find other words to refute, so he could only keep explaining to everyone: Dox didn't say those words before he came, he made them up.

Compared with Dox's proud face, everyone was more willing to believe the low-key but sincere Kael.

However, it doesn't matter who to believe now.

What's important is that the originally heavy atmosphere was directly broken by Dox's interruption. Kael, who was previously the focus of everyone's attention, slowly left everyone's sight.

"I didn't expect you to be so protective of your shortcomings." Suddenly, Angel's voice sounded in the mind band, and the direction he was looking at was exactly Dox.

Dox was stunned for a moment, pretending not to understand: "Huh?"

Angel did not expose Dox's performance, but said: "Kael did not have a bad mouth this time, because the monster we encountered this time is a little special."

After Angel finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and the so-called "monster" picture appeared on the illusion light screen.

I saw that one side of the wall not far away was covered with vines as thick as an adult's thigh. These vines intertwined and moved slowly, like a wriggling python.

The branches of the vines were extremely black, but they were covered with red thorns. You can tell at a glance that they are extremely sharp, and they may even contain toxins.

Vine-like monsters are actually not uncommon. Before they entered the underground maze, they had encountered many vine-like monsters in the ruins on the ground. However, Angell's comment that this vine is a bit "special" is not without reason.

Because, among these creeping and dense vines, there is a blank space without any vines.

And this blank space is a dark hole.

In other words, this is the second fork in the road they encountered after choosing this direction.

"This... This should be the same dog hole as before, right?" Wai looked at the size of the hole and said hesitantly.

"From the size of the exposed, it is indeed similar to the dog hole we encountered before. However, the vines are very dense, so the hole may not be as big as we see. Maybe other parts are covered by vines." Angell replied.

After a pause, Angell continued: "Now we have two choices, bypass them and continue to move forward. Or, try to take the road hidden behind this vine."

Angel's meaning is to vote first, as for what choice to make in the end, we will see the voting results first.

Kael and Wai both abstained from voting, while Dox frowned: "I have some inspirations, but these inspirations may be a kind of fictional inspiration similar to fantasy, I dare not believe it. Let Angel and Lord Black decide."

The fictional inspiration Dox mentioned sounds very mysterious, but it has the same meaning as "fictional pain".

Fictional pain is a term used in wizard civilization. In Jon's words, this is the so-called phantom pain, or phantom pain, which generally means that even if the patient has amputated, he will occasionally feel that his amputated limb is still there, and the "phantom limb" produces a strong sense of pain.

The specific explanation for this weird and mysterious phantom pain in the wizarding world is the wailing of the soul: because even if the limb is amputated, as long as you are not dead, your soul is still intact. Although the soul does not participate in physiological behavior, when it senses that a certain part is missing, it will emit the so-called "wailing".

Whether this answer is correct, Angel does not know, and he has not done similar research. However, by bringing in fictional pain, we can understand Dox's fictional inspiration.

At present, Dox's inspiration has temporarily disappeared, but before, Dox's inspiration was very active, so much so that Dox even regarded inspiration as an "organ" that he could control at will. Now that the "organ" has disappeared, the fictional inspiration comes naturally, just like "fictional pain".

Just because Doakes felt that his inspiration might be fictitious inspiration, he did not even say the direction that "inspiration" gave him, but completely gave the right of choice to Angel and the Black Earl.

Angel didn't say anything. His so-called voting was just a formality. In fact, he already had a preference in his heart about what to choose.

"Lord Black Earl, do you have any suggestions?" Angel asked.

Black Earl: "You shouldn't ask me this question. You are the one who is most familiar with the prison ladder."

Angel shrugged: "I am only familiar with the road from the Prison Stairway to the destination. I am not familiar with the road to the Prison Stairway now. However, I do have some inclinations. I personally prefer to take the vine path. "

Black Earl: "What's the reason?"

Angel: "A combination of multiple factors. First, I feel that this path may be the right one."

The first factor made Doakes on the side couldn't help complaining: "I don't even mention inspiration, but you still mention it."

Angel: “It’s not an inspiration, but a feeling derived from the summary of some comprehensive information.”

To put it simply, it is the "server" in the thinking space, collecting information along the way. When all kinds of information are mixed together, Angel himself has not yet clarified it, but the "server" has already passed the information first. The induction gives the most likely answer.

This is what Angel calls "feeling", which is quite different from inspiration.

"If you don't agree with my first factor, then I will continue. Secondly, I let Ermi spread the shadow to another road, and found that the further forward, the more traces of the monster. In other words, if you don't go On this vine path, we may enter an area where monsters are active, and I don’t think the prison ladder will be built in a place where monsters are active.”

"Third, these vines have no intention of extending to other places. They just linger in that short distance. They seem more like guards guarding this road than predatory occupying monsters."

"If you think about it carefully, there are three narrow openings in the outside work area, which are used to warn, guard, and expel outsiders respectively. The prison ladder is the top priority of the entire organization, and it should also be guarded, just like the day one. The effect is the same.”

"There is a fourth factor, but it may be a bit far-fetched. Just give it a try. I personally think that vine monsters are actually more friendly to wood spirits. Therefore, when the wood spirits come here, the vines should not be too Too much trouble for it.”

After Angel stated these four points, he stopped and looked at everyone, waiting for their feedback.

Doakes did not play devil's advocate this time, and nodded directly: "I just said, you two can decide. As long as Lord Black Earl agrees, then we will fight those vines... But to be honest, the three people in front of you This reason didn’t impress me, but the fourth reason you said was far-fetched is very possible.”

Angel raised his eyebrows and did not respond to Doakes's comment.

It can be heard from Doakes's words that even if he temporarily loses his inspiration, he is still an intuitive wizard. Compared with the "evidence" listed by Angel, he believed in an inference that he didn't know whether it was false or not.

On the other side, the Black Earl pondered for a moment and then said: "I thought about it and found no valid reason to refute you. In that case, let's do what you said."

The Black Earl also made a decision, and everyone no longer hesitated at this time, so they took the road sealed by the vines!

Doakes had already begun to roll up his sleeves, the red sword on his waist was vibrating, and his fighting spirit was rising.

Angel glanced at him and said calmly: "Don't be impatient. You may not be able to fight."

Under Doakes' doubtful eyes, Angel's figure suddenly changed, turning into a young and energetic young man wearing a green coat, with a bow and quiver woven from rattan on his back, and a green head. Slanted hat.

The most distinctive point is that in the middle of Angel's hat, there is a crystal clear leaf that shines with a natural atmosphere.

The others didn't know what the image was, but the Black Earl recognized it.

"You are holding the leaves of the tree spirit and want to imitate the tree spirit? Although I think it is unlikely that the vine will be deceived, but since you want to impersonate the tree spirit, then don't wear any clothes, let alone a cuckold."

Yes, Angel's current image is that of a tree spirit. However, the tree spirit always liked to wear nothing and only wear a leaf on key parts. However, Angel's shame prevented him from being as open as the tree spirit, so he still changed into a set of clothes.

Angel turned a deaf ear to Earl Black's "suggestion". Even if he had to face off against the vines, he would not wander around naked like the tree spirit.

After dressing up as a tree spirit, Angel gestured to everyone to stay in the moving illusion and follow him so as not to stay too far away.

Then, Angel took a deep breath and walked out of the illusion.

Although he had made full preparations and had the leaves of the tree spirit to purify the surrounding air, the sudden strong stench still rushed into his nasal cavity.

Angel himself was fine, but Dangros, who was resting on Angel's shoulder, rolled his eyes.

"Ah, I forgot you were still here..." After Angel said this, he wanted to put Dangros into the bracelet, but at the last moment, he hesitated.

Dangros seemed to have been "contaminated" by the stench, otherwise, if he threw it into the bracelet, it would make the inside also smoky. Forget it, just hold on and purify it later.

Angel thought about this, and stretched out a vine from behind, carefully wrapping up Dangros who was fainted by the stench.

After doing all this, Angel continued to move forward.

Because Angel showed up, and the extremely rich tree spirit breath continued to emit natural power to the surroundings. So, as soon as Angel appeared, the vines in the distance noticed Angel.

The vines were originally moving slowly, but the appearance of Angel made them move faster.

Angel didn't know whether the vines were preparing for a fight or a show of goodwill? Anyway, we will know if we continue. If it is a real fight, then wake up Dangros and spit fire to solve the battle.

However, Angel almost walked within 20 meters of the vines, and the vines still showed no desire to attack.

You know, these python-thick vines are at least hundreds of meters long, covering this wall tightly. If they really want to fight, they can attack from a long distance.

But they didn't do so, which seemed to confirm Angel's guess: plant monsters are actually closer to the wood spirit.

It wasn't until Angel walked ten meters away from them that the vines began to react violently.

Most of the vines began to move, they were waving their claws in the air, as if threatening not to move forward.

But even so, the vines still didn't move.

This made Angel more convinced that these vines might really be "guards" similar to the day as he expected. Rather than bloodthirsty vines that kill by nature.

Moreover, these vines seemed to be waving their claws, but they were not aimed at Angel, but at the back of Angel.

Although Angel was very confident in his illusion, there were countless vines intertwined here, and their spirits gathered as huge as the sea and the abyss. Just standing in front of them, you can feel the oppressive mental power.

Although mental power does not represent strength, such a huge mental power suppression is enough to reveal some flaws in Angel's illusion.

In other words, it caused Ermi to deviate a little bit.

Ermi is the main body of the mobile illusion. Once Ermi deviates a little bit, the mobile illusion will naturally reveal its flaws.

"They don't seem to be very wary of you. Instead, they are full of hostility towards us." Dox whispered in the mind band.

"However, you blocked them in front, and they didn't act immediately... It seems that pretending to be a wood spirit is really useful."

As Dox said this, his eyes began to turn.

The Black Earl saw through Dox's thoughts at a glance and sneered: "If you have tens of thousands of years of tree spirit leaves to help you cover up your breath, then you can indeed pretend to be a wood spirit. If you don't have something similar, don't think about it."

Spirits are not so easy to fake. Their breath is completely different from that of ordinary creatures. Even the top-notch transformation skills can only imitate them superficially and can be easily exposed.

Behind Angel stood the three ancestral spirits of the Savage Cave, which were also rare super-old monster-level spirits in the entire wizard world. Even if it was just a leaf, it was enough for Angel to imitate the wood spirit.

Dox wanted to imitate the wood spirit, but it was basically impossible. Even if the Black Earl himself came, he couldn't imitate the spirit like Angel.

That leaf was too important.

"Don't move for now, I seem to sense a slight fluctuation. It seems that the vine is ready to communicate with me."

After Angel finished speaking, everyone saw that a thin vine stretched out from the huge vine wall, like a snake dancing in the air, and swam in front of Angel.

The vine was less than half a meter away from Angel's forehead.

As they approached, the fluctuations Angel felt became stronger and stronger.

It was like someone was whispering in his ear.
