After Vai drank the potion, he made a prompt decision and lifted the stone prison.
At the moment when the stone prison was released, the skin all over Vai's body also turned to stone.
As the stone prison disappeared, the external situation came into Vai's eyes. At that moment, Vai's pupils shrank suddenly. From the reflection of Vai's pupils, you can see a dark ghost mask, and this mask is exactly what the ghost is wearing on his face!
This means... the ghost is waiting for him outside the stone prison! Now we are almost standing face to face!
Vai's heart skipped a beat and he directly attacked the ghost.
As soon as the two palms overlap, multiple earth thorns will emerge from the palms. After continuous increase in joints and continuous acceleration, the sharp earth thorns can achieve triple impact, breaking shields, drilling holes, and crushing bones, layer by layer.
At the same time, the soil spikes released laterally will form a reaction force that can immediately retreat and increase the distance.
The earth thorns successfully penetrated the ghost's body, and Vai also successfully distanced himself. However, he did not look happy because the force feedback caused by the earth thorns was obviously not right. Soft, as if it had been pierced by cotton, rather than a physical person.
When Vai was confused, there was a sudden sound of wind behind him.
Vai did not look back, and stepped lightly on the ground. A stone pillar rose from the ground. Vai stood on the top of the stone pillar and rose directly to ten meters in the air.
Only then did Vai turn his head and look down.
From the shadow of the stone pillar, a human figure slowly separated. The faded shadow gradually turned into a solid body, like an ink outline, dyed with color by the painter.
The person who becomes a physical entity is a ghost!
Vai immediately looked back at the place where he released the earth thorn before. The ghost shadow there was gradually fading... and disappearing into nothing.
One side fades out, the other side fades out. Although he didn't know what the connection was, Vai understood that the move just now did not cause any harm to the ghost.
At this time, the physical ghost turned his head, and Vai could clearly see the other person's face. However, the ghost figure at this time did not wear a mask, and his face was pitch black, like a cave.
In Vai's horrified eyes, the ghost's hand slowly raised, and a large number of black spots filled its hand, finally forming an evil ghost mask.
The ghost shadow covered his face with one hand. As the mask was covered, Vai could feel that the face under the mask was returning to its true appearance from the abyss.
When the mask was about to be put on, Vai saw the ghost's lips, which were thin and sharp.
The corners of his lips curved up, as if he was mocking, but also as if he was declaring victory.
Vai didn't understand why the ghost suddenly showed its physical form, and why it deliberately revealed its face and smiled slyly. But this does not prevent Vai from attacking the ghost.
If the ghost is still in the shadow state, Vai may not be able to cause much harm to him, but if you dare to reveal your true identity, Vai is really not afraid of facing him head-on.
Vai squatted down and touched the top of the stone pillar with his hand, and the power of the earth was transported downwards.
Rock thorns, like the ribs of a giant dragon, protruded from the ground and extended in separate ways, trying to surround Vai.
When these slightly curved rock spurs are arranged in a circle, they can form a prison-like dome. Although this dome can trap enemies just like the stone prison technique, trapping enemies is not the greatest effect!
This dome is called the Cocoon of the Earth, and it is a secret technique inherited by the Noah family.
Since it is a secret technique, it naturally has its own uniqueness. It can create a huge space like a cocoon. When the earth cocoon is formed, it can directly deprive the space in the cocoon of all non-earth active elements.
Once trapped inside, apart from using the power of the earth, you can only fight hand-to-hand.
It can be said that if the ghost is attacked, the basic battle is over.
Moreover, although these rock thorns appear one by one, they seem to be protruding very slowly, giving people the illusion that anyone who gets on them can avoid them, but this is not the case.
If an outsider learns the cocoon of the earth, people may indeed avoid it. But once the cocoon of the earth released by the Noah family is released, it will immediately activate the Noah bloodline, and a power will spread to the surroundings along with the appearance of each rock thorn.
Once enveloped by the power, there is basically no way to move.
Ghost Shadow is currently in a powerful position.
It's not that the ghost shadow didn't hide, but that Vai cleverly used the stone pillar under his feet as the first "rock thorn" in the cocoon of the earth. The ghost shadow happened to be next to the stone pillar and was immediately shrouded in power.
Watching the rock thorns spread through the method of "enclosure", a "cocoon of the earth" will soon be formed.
But at this moment, Vai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and half-knelt on the stone pillar. At this moment, Yan Ci paused for exactly one second.
A second later, before Vai had time to check why he was vomiting blood, he immediately looked at the ground.
The ghost is still there, okay...
Vai was about to continue spreading the rock thorns, but suddenly, he thought of something and stretched out a small rock thorn from the ground, trying to pierce the ghost's body.
But after the rock thorn penetrated the ghost's body, there was only a soft feeling, which was exactly the same as the feedback when he used the earth thorn to test the ghost for the first time!
This is a fake!
Vai was startled and immediately stopped the cocoon of the earth. Although this secret technique has amazing effects, it is also very expensive. If the release is completed, but a fake ghost is trapped, then he will suffer a big loss.
The words, like dragon bones, sank into the ground again.
Vai observed the surroundings. The ghost had no idea where it had gone, and even the previous fake ghost had disappeared.
There were no ghosts around, so Vai could only look towards the mist in the distance. If nothing unexpected happens, the ghost must have hidden in the mist again.
But when Vai looked at Misty, his expression became a little frightened.
The fog technique released by the ghost shadow before was obviously spreading very much. Why did it suddenly start to spread faster? !
Moreover, looking at the direction in which the fog is spreading, it is basically coming towards me!
…
"Being fooled again." Doakes sighed softly in the psychic belt.
Kael: "What happened? I think Vai seemed to have the upper hand before. Although I don't know why the rock thorns on the ground were removed later, we should still be evenly matched, right?"
Doakes: "I don't know if they are evenly matched. Because the ghost shadow has never faced Vai head-on. There is no direct contact, so how can it be evenly matched? The ghost shadow purely relies on tactics and consumes Vai. The magic of Yi.”
So far, the only tricks ghosts have used are fog and latent shadow.
And the mist technique is not even considered a trick, it can only be said to be a trick. The art of latent shadow itself is the foundation of the shadow system.
Just like the illusion node is to the illusion wizard, the basics can no longer be basic.
Including the shadow clones created are just an application of latent shadow.
As a result, two simple tricks were used to test out Vai's two trump cards. The final outcome of this duel is still unknown, but from a tactical perspective, the opponent completely crushed Vai.
"I kept talking about one theory after another, but when it came to reality, it immediately became apparent." Doakes shook his head and sighed.
"Then you lost to him back then?" Angel's voice sounded in the psychic belt.
Doakes snorted: "I was young back then, and Vai knew all my tactics and abilities very well, but he liked to hide his own abilities. He always said it was a family secret. So, the duel Isn’t it normal to lose sometimes?”
"Also, Vai was very good at layout at that time. When we went out for training, he was the one who controlled the rhythm and solved the puzzles. I just..."
Angel: "Are you just a pendant?"
Doakes choked for a moment, and after a while, he said: "My intuition is pretty good..."
Angel: "In other words, apart from your inspirational talent, you are just a pendant."
Doakes was silent for a moment and did not answer the conversation. Instead, he changed the subject: "Anyway, Vai was quite strong at that time, but after so many years, it was still wasted."
Doakes only dared to stop there, because the reason for the delay was actually related to the Black Earl.
Vai is very wary of the Black Earl and has never dared to practice too radically. This is why Doakes has been an official wizard for many years, while Vai is still hovering at the peak of his apprenticeship.
In order to avoid being controlled, Vai stayed away from Mesoemia for many years. No matter how strong his planning ability was, no matter how sharp his knife was, it would slowly become dull with the passage of time.
Doakes looked at Vai who was dwarfed in the battle. In fact, there was no mockery, but more helplessness and emotion.
"Maybe Vai is planning something now?" After Kael finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the Black Earl, trying to get some clues from the Black Earl. Unfortunately, the Black Earl did not respond at all.
Doakes: "If it is really a plan, then this is too big a deal. A basic trick of using your own cards to deceive the opponent?"
Doakes shook his head: "Besides, didn't you notice that Vai suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood when he used the magic just now?"
Kael naturally saw the scene of Vai vomiting blood. In fact, he always wanted to ask what happened, but seeing that Vai adjusted himself quickly, he didn't think much about it and just thought it was a side effect of Vai's ability.
But now listening to what Doakes means, there is actually something fishy in this?
Doakes: "Of course there is something fishy about it. It's impossible to vomit blood just fine."
When Doakes said this, he did not continue because there were changes again on the arena.
The fog spread, and Vai was completely surrounded by the fog.
Although Vai activated his blood, petrified his skin, and temporarily blocked the invasion of bacterial barriers, he himself was in a dilemma, and it was a double dilemma - getting lost and being attacked by a sneak attack.
Although he said he was lost, Vai actually wanted to find a place not covered by fog, but no matter how he walked, he could not get out of the fog.
As for sneak attacks, Vai is constantly plotted by ghosts in the shadows. Even with his petrified skin, he is beginning to be unable to hold on.
"Oh, it's difficult." Doakes sighed.
Kael looked at Vai who was like a headless fly, with a burnt look on his face.
Doakes turned to look at Kael: "How do you think? Do you understand? It's better to understand clearly. Maybe the next game will be you versus the ghost."
After hearing Doakes' question, Kael forced his thoughts away from his worries.
No matter who wins or loses in the end, it's best for him to analyze it himself and see clearly what the key points of victory and defeat are. Otherwise, he may fall into the opponent's trap in the subsequent battle.
And if the ghost is so cunning, aren't the others cunning? Maybe even more cunning.
Thinking of this, Kael began to sort it out from the beginning.
When he reviewed the previous battle, he found that the key point was that Vai suddenly vomited blood, interrupting the cocoon of the earth, allowing the ghost to escape.
If Vai had no problem at that time, Ghost Shadow might have failed.
But why did Vai vomit blood at that time?
According to Doakes, there is something fishy about Vai's vomiting of blood. The so-called tricky thing must be something ghosting did.
It may be a conspiracy, or there may be manipulation in some places.
To plot a plot, Ghost Shadow would definitely need direct contact with Vai. So far, Vai and Ghost Shadow have had one contact at the beginning.
At that time, Vai was swept away by the ghost's attack from above, and flew more than ten meters away.
This was the only direct contact that Kael remembered. Could it be that during the close combat, what did the ghost do?
Kael thought for a moment and rejected this guess. Because after this contact, Kael hid in a stone prison and started taking drugs.
At that time, Master Red Sword and Master Super Dimension were still having a conversation. From their conversation, Kael did not hear that Vai was being plotted at that time.
If he was really being plotted, even if Lord Chao Dimension didn't say anything, Lord Hongjian would still murmur a few words based on his character.
But if that contact is excluded, then they have no contact?
How did Vai get plotted?
…
On the arena, Vai was constantly attacked by sneak attacks. Every time the ghost appeared, he retreated at the first touch. He was neither willing to fight nor greedy.
Vai could resist it at first, but when he began to receive frequent attacks and his petrification was destroyed, he became a little unbearable.
On the one hand, he had to resist the invasion of mycelium, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the ghosts. He was unable to do anything at all, and was succeeded by the ghosts again and again.
Today, Vai was beaten with blood all over his body.
However, so far, he still has not lost. This means that the ghost did not attack Vai through pheromones.
Therefore, the bottle of pheromone volatile water that Vai drank before was basically in vain.
Under the arena, when Kael kept reviewing the battle clips, he finally found one thing that made him feel something was wrong among the countless clips.
Vai suddenly created a stone pillar before, which is very strange.
However, judging from the subsequent reaction, Vai should be avoiding the attack from behind.
Although from Kael's perspective, there was no one behind Vai at the time, the real battle was still dominated by Vai's feelings.
It was strange to create a stone pillar, but the strangest thing was that the ghost actually appeared. However, the ghost actually appeared from the shadow of the stone pillar.
This is very strange.
When did the ghost sneak into the shadow of the stone pillar? Also, why did the ghost leave the shadow of the stone pillar? And turned into a physical entity?
When these doubts made Kael feel something was wrong, a picture appeared in his mind again.
——Wai stood on the top of the stone pillar, and the ghostly figure left the shadow of the stone pillar.
In this scene, Kael's previous doubts were about the ghost's motives. But looking back now, I found a blind spot.
When Vai stood on the stone pillar, his shadow was actually connected with the shadow of the stone pillar!
In other words, the ghost's departure from the shadow of the stone pillar is equivalent to its departure from Vai's shadow!
Ghost Shadow is an apprentice of the shadow system, and what the shadow system is best at is causing damage to the real body through shadows.
From this point of view, it is basically certain how Vai was plotted.
Vai's vomiting of blood must be related to this!
On the competitive stage, the ghost is an opponent and an enemy. He couldn't be so kind as to only hurt Vai once.
Since he had successfully sneaked into Vai's shadow, he must have done some unknown things to Vai at that time.
Could it be that the predicament Vai is facing now was caused at that time?
