It was a baby with no skin and a bloody body exposed directly. At this time, it was hanging upside down, grasping the web.
Its forehead was covered with a silk-like bandage, and below its forehead was still flesh and blood without skin. The eyes were bulging black pupils, and the smile at the corner of the mouth was split to the ears, revealing a dark mouth.
The muscles on the limbs are constantly melting and regenerating, and the nails are dark and sharp.
Judging from the infant spirit itself, it is already very weird.
But what's even more weird is that the top of the head of this infant spirit is deeply inserted by a green vine covered with thorns. On the exposed part of the green vine, there is a bright red flower.
The red flowers swayed in the wind, and a large amount of red liquid spurted out from the stamens, fell to the ground, and eventually turned into solidified red wax.
When they saw the baby spirit and the flower, in addition to feeling strange, everyone also felt a little more enlightened.
They had previously speculated whether the web and red wax had nothing to do with the infant spirit, but a trap set by Adanis. But now it is certain that this is indeed Ying Ling’s fault.
The web comes from the bandage on the infant spirit's head.
The red wax is formed from the liquid dripping from the red flower.
This was the first time they had seen this strange team-up of flowers and infant spirits. Moreover, from the weird smile of the infant spirit, it was really difficult for them to tell whether the infant spirit controlled the flower, or whether the flower hosted the infant spirit, or they simply complemented each other?
"Angel, do you plan to attack them directly?"
When the mist snake broke through the last layer of web, Doakes asked the doubts in his heart.
Angel did not answer, because Angel already showed the answer without asking——
He did not attack the infant spirit.
The big snake formed from the white mist stopped right in front of the infant spirit. With a high head and green eyes, he looked down at the strange infant spirit climbing to the center of the web.
The whole picture does not look like the infant spirit threatening the mist snake at all, but the mist snake occupying a dominant position, suppressing the tiny infant spirit with the attitude of a god looking down on all living beings.
Of course, this is just everyone's imagination, and they know that the real situation is definitely not like this.
Since the Infant Spirit dared to be released by Adanis to stop them, and even Adanis clearly said something like "Without it, you will never reach the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber", it shows that the Infant Spirit is very powerful.
At least, an illusion spell will definitely not be able to do anything to the infant spirit.
However, what they don't understand is what does Angel mean by controlling the fog snake to stop and look at each other with the infant spirit?
If Angel asked the Mist Snake to attack, they would all understand, but now it seems that the Mist Snake is just showing a high profile without any further actions.
Is this intimidation?
But Ying Ling didn't look frightened...
What's even more strange is that the infant spirit didn't actually attack the fog snake, but swayed the red flower on its head, seeming to say hello to the fog snake?
"What are you doing? Baby Spirit treats your mist snake as a toy? Are you coaxing the baby?" Doakes guessed to himself.
"Try to communicate." Angel said casually.
"Can you really communicate?" Doakes asked in surprise.
Angel: "How do I know if I can communicate?"
Doakes: "...So what do you mean by trying to communicate?"
Angel replied seriously in the psychic belt: "When trying to communicate, the focus should be on 'trying' rather than 'communicating'."
Doakes said angrily: "Oh, what you said is so mysterious, did your attempt have any results?"
Angel: "Not yet. However, it didn't attack my illusion. Is this considered a foreplay for communication?"
Doakes snorted a few times, not believing Angel's words at all.
The Black Earl, on the other hand, looked at Angel carefully, seeming to see something from his expression. However, the Black Earl did not speak. He just stayed by Angel's side and watched what happened.
The conversation between Angel and Doakes actually did not lie.
He really wanted to see if he could communicate, but it didn't seem to be effective so far... No, it was effective. At least neither the infant spirit nor the flower showed any malice, nor did they attack the fog snake.
It seems more like they are ignoring the fog snakes, maybe because the illusion created by "Nightmare" alone cannot convince them?
Angel froze the fog snake in place for several minutes, but the infant spirit still had no intention of communicating with the fog snake.
But it is worth mentioning that the infant spirit has never moved, let alone attacked the fog snake.
This is actually very eye-catching, because the mist snake is in a condescending position, and any creature with the ability to resist is probably not willing to accept this kind of high position overlooking the low position.
But Yingling didn't care about the high posture of the mist snake, and even lowered his eyebrows and eyes, as if to express his surrender.
But... there is just no communication.
Angel looked at this scene and felt very hesitant. They couldn't stay here forever and spend time with Ying Ling. They had to make the next move after all.
But, should we do that?
Angel thought for a moment and finally made a decision. He took a deep breath and said in the spiritual belt: "I plan to go over and contact the infant spirit to see what's going on."
"Sir, is this a little too... impulsive?" Vai asked worriedly.
Doakes is very supportive of Angel's decision: "The web is broken, we should have attacked it long ago. I will go with you!"
Angel thought for a moment and thought that it would be a good idea for Doakes to follow him. At least he would have a human shield in the event of a conflict.
However, just as Angel nodded in agreement, the Black Count beside him said.
"It's better that I go with you. Doakes stays here and takes care of the two apprentices." The Black Earl said calmly.
Doakes was a little dissatisfied: "Why, I want to go too."
Doakes didn't want to do it before, but now that he saw that the infant spirits didn't dare to attack the mist snake, he felt a little jealous in his heart. The flower on Yingling's body should be the Devil's Food Flower. It looks very good... If he can get it, then he has earned it.
Earl Black: "The reason is very simple. If you follow Angel and something goes wrong, you may die, and Angel may die too; and if I follow Angel, no matter whether my clone will die or not, Angel will definitely survive."
The situation is actually not clear yet.
Although the Mist Snakes were not attacked, this did not mean that they passed and the Infant Spirits would not attack.
Mist snakes are not living beings, so there is no need for infant spirits to attack them specifically. And if they go there, it is very likely that they will cause abnormal movements in the infant spirit.
The baby spirit and the flower, no matter who is the main body, must be powerful. Doakes stepped forward and could be used as a human shield, but there was no guarantee that they would all survive.
As for the Black Earl, although he will feel sorry for this clone, if he uses this clone to exchange for Angel's survival, he will not hesitate to do so.
Not to mention the relationship with Rhine and Sanders, Angel himself has such weight and value that it is worthy of him.
The Black Earl's words were simple and straightforward, and they really touched Doakes' heart.
If he and Angel go there, there is a possibility that both of them will die or both of them will survive. But if Earl Black and Angel go, they will definitely survive... Even if something happens to Earl Black's clone, it will only be a clone and will not affect the main body.
Thinking about it this way, Doakes felt that there was really a 50-50 chance of following Angel. Although there is no crisis in inspiration, he does not believe in inspiration. After weighing it seriously for a moment, Doakes still agreed with the Black Earl's point of view.
Doakes decided to stay and protect the two apprentices.
The Black Earl then looked at Angel: "Let's go, I'll accompany you there."
Although Angel had decided to go there and have a look, he didn't mean to leave immediately. One thing he still needs to do is to transfer the illusion nodes on Ermi's body to the external array.
Let this moving fantasy become a fantasy that is fixed here.
In this way, Ermi can go with them.
Even though the Black Earl made it clear that he could guarantee his survival, Angel still had to keep an eye on himself just in case.
After fixing the illusion, Angel and the Black Earl looked at each other, nodded, and slowly walked out of the illusion.
The moment you step out of the illusion.
The Black Earl suddenly paused, his nostrils expanded significantly, as if he was taking in the smell of the outside world.
When Angel saw Earl Black's appearance, he knew that Earl Black might become more suspicious next...
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the Black Earl turned to look at Angel and said in a meaningful tone: "I noticed a familiar smell in the air."
Previously, there was a purification force field in Angel's mobile illusion, and the Black Count had not yet smelled the smell outside. But now, after coming out in person, the smell immediately entered my nose.
It is said to be a taste, but it is not really a smell, but a feeling. In other words, a perception beyond the five senses.
This kind of perception is almost exactly the same as the strange feeling that Angel had when he used illusion.
That's why the Black Count was confused.
Angel said calmly: "I also smell a familiar smell."
Black Earl: "Then we should smell the same smell."
Angel smiled, did not reply, but took the lead to walk forward.
Angel's meaning was obvious, and he was not going to explain why. Although the Black Earl had doubts in his mind, he soon had no intention of thinking about these things because they entered the red wax area.
Naturally, they cannot touch the red wax directly, but float and fly in mid-air.
However, even in mid-air, the Black Earl felt the influence of the red wax.
Previously, Doakes said that there seemed to be a special force field in the red wax area, which had a certain influence on the mind, which caused his control over the sandworms to be high and low.
They didn't actually pay much attention to it at the time, because although the sandworms were a little abnormal in the red wax area, what really caused them to undergo huge changes was the web weaving.
But when they came to the red wax area, the Black Earl discovered how terrifying the influence of the red wax was.
In other words, it's less terrifying and should be called...horrible.
The Black Earl was still thinking about the familiar feelings around him, but when he entered the red wax area, his thoughts became chaotic without warning.
One second he might be thinking about normal things, but the next second a weird clown appeared in his mind. He eliminated the clown from his mind and continued thinking, but then the pig fat factory that was making soap appeared in his mind, as well as that The sound of slaughtering pigs squealing in pain.
In this way, the Black Earl entered a very strange state. One second he was thinking about normal things, and the next second his inexplicable thoughts were constantly superimposed.
Although my thinking was intermittent and I could barely proceed normally, the pictures that came to my mind inexplicably were all extremely weird, including clowns, killing pigs, eating scavengers, fading, mutating, decapitating... the weird scenes were constantly superimposed. .
Sometimes, the Black Earl felt as if he had experienced those scenes, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was not his fault. But the next second, he felt that this kind of thing had happened before, but the current picture used "metaphor" and "exaggeration" to express it.
There seems to be no connection, but in fact there is an inherent fetter.
This gave the Black Earl a terrible, even terrifying feeling, as if his memory was being replaced. Those crazy memories were normal thoughts, and those thoughts that he thought were normal were actually... self-righteous.
It is not that the Black Earl has not been affected by mental influences, but this is the first time that he has experienced such a strange and completely invisible influence.
The Black Earl deeply suspected that if he continued to stay here, even for just a minute, he might become another "self".
And that self may think that he is the real self, and that his past self is just a false shadow conceived.
This terrifying and horrifying knowledge made the Black Earl feel fearful for the first time.
He couldn't help but look back at Angel, thinking intermittently, should he and Angel leave this area first?
And Angel was actually affected.
However, the picture that pops up in Angel's mind is different from that of the Black Earl. The picture that pops up in his mind remains unchanged at all. Every time the picture pops up, it is a boundless sea of flowers.
Every gorgeous flower in the sea of flowers has a big mouth, and the mouths of these flowers keep saying something.
It was so dense and dense that Angel couldn’t hear it clearly.
After experiencing similar scenes several times, Angel listened carefully, and then he realized that these flowers with mouths were constantly complimenting him: Praise the moonlight! Praise the Queen! Praise Sharapova!
In addition to this familiar trio of praises, they also praise another existence that Angel has never heard of: praise Saya!
Angel still remembered that so far, there were only four categories of praises he had heard from creatures in the nightmare world: Moonlight, Queen, Sawa and various ministers.
And Saya is the new object of praise?
Who is Shaye?
Angel didn't know that there was no one named Shaye in Gru Town. Perhaps, this is another powerful person in the nightmare world?
Regardless of who Saya is, Angel still feels a little uncomfortable with these complimentary images constantly popping up in his mind.
Although "Angel" was one of the people they praised, and Angel didn't feel any mental discomfort, he really didn't want the noise in his ears.
Is there any way to block it?
