Wa Yi was stunned. "Crazy? What do you mean? "
Dorcas replied, "Literally. Their minds are in complete chaos and are filled with negative emotions. Even if I can sense the power of my bloodline, I can't communicate with them."
Dorcas glanced at Angor and said, "Angor's choice of words is very appropriate. Mental illness. Like they're suffering from mental illness. "
A hint of pity appeared in Dorcas's eyes as he looked at the sandworm struggling in the stone prison.
When he used the sandworms to test the waters, he was already prepared for them to be sacrificed. However, that didn't mean they were dead. As long as the bloodline returned to the mother, new worms would be born.
But now, they had completely gone mad and even showed signs of rebelling against their masters. Even if their bloodline was returned to the mother's body, this madness might be like an invading virus, eroding the pure mother's body. In the end, the mother would also fall into the abyss of insanity.
Therefore, Dorcas couldn't take their bloodlines back.
This meant that the worms were already dead. Furthermore, it was a complete and utter death.
"Even if they're crazy, you should be able to get some useful information from their words, right?" Wade asked, "Besides, they went straight through Mister Hyperdimension's illusion. Does that mean —"
Wade didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he was trying to say.
If the crazed sandworms were created by the Baby Spirit, and the crazed sandworms were able to break through the illusionary realm and follow the original path to attack, did that mean that the Baby Spirit had already discovered them?
"I don't know if there's anything special about it," Dorcas said. Dorcas: "But now that I think about it, there is indeed something worth mentioning about the crazy talk you mentioned."
"Crazy" was just a way of describing it. The baby sandworms' mouthparts were more like sucking mouthparts, which fed on blood or other energy-containing liquids. They didn't have the ability to make sounds yet. Only when they evolved into adult worms would their mouthparts start to crack, and they would develop vocal organs.
The crazy words referred to here mostly referred to the various negative emotions that Dorcas had sensed from the sandworms.
"Sweep away all obstacles," Dorcas said. "That's what I interpreted from the negative emotions they transmitted."
"That's it?" Wade muttered. Is there nothing else? Getting rid of all obstacles sounds very normal. "
As soon as Wa Yi finished speaking, the Dark Earl said, "Does it sound normal? Why do I feel that it's not normal at all? "
Wa Yi definitely did not dare to refute his master, but he really could not tell what was wrong. If the sandworms were controlled by the Baby Spirit, it was tantamount to expressing the Baby Spirit's thoughts. The Baby Spirit wanted to eliminate all obstacles. Wasn't this the same as eliminating everyone present? They were in a hostile state. Wasn't it normal for them to want to eliminate each other once and for all?
The Black Earl asked, "The only way to remove all obstacles was to instigate two sandworms?"
Pausing for a moment, the Dark Earl said softly, "The Infant Spirits must have discovered us. This is not surprising. What's really noteworthy is that it hasn't shown itself yet. "
Wasn't it a contradiction to be hiding at the back of the group, even though they were shouting "sweep away all obstacles"?
As for the red wax and the web? This was, at most, a means of hindering their progress. If they gave up at this time, the red wax and the web would not work, not to mention that the Baby Spirits wanted to "remove obstacles".
Inviting the enemy into a trap or setting up a trap to wait for the prey to come. These were all good means. However, these were also defensive and counterattacking means. They were outsmarting the enemy.
The red wax and the web were overt schemes. Since they were "strategies", they still belonged to the category of "outsmarting the enemy".
As for the phrase "sweep away all obstacles", it meant taking the initiative to attack. Take the initiative to sweep away obstacles, kill those who should be killed, and clear up all the obstacles in their eyes.
One was strategy, and the other was courage. These were two completely opposite choices.
Was this normal? Of course not.
Of course, there were also means of "courage and strategy" in this world, but at least this was not the case now. The Baby Spirits were guarding the rear and only relying on overt schemes to resist the enemy. How could that be considered courage? Courage on the surface was self-praise.
"Yes, they clearly discovered us, but they didn't do anything. Why is that? "Wa Yi was puzzled.
Were they really waiting for them to take the bait? If so, didn't that mean that they had no means and had to rely on external forces to fill in the gaps?
"Thinking so much is actually just guessing. No one knows what the truth is." Dorcas said, "Anyway, we know that they already found us. Let's just do it."
"These webs and red wax are traps. We can't touch them, but we can destroy them."
Dorcas rubbed his hands together and looked like he was about to go all out.
"Come, let Dankros out. Spit a small flame at them and show them how powerful Dankros is," Dorcas said to Angor.
"It's bathing in the bracelet. It won't come out," Angor said casually.
By bathing, he meant the quenching liquid. Dankros claimed that ordinary quenching liquid was as tasteless as plain water. However, if there was a real quenching liquid in front of it, it would still embrace it obediently.
"It's really enjoying it," Dorcas muttered. Dorcas muttered, "Then I'll set it on fire. I already said that fire would definitely be useful against this kind of web and red wax."
"We don't know if it will," Wa Yi said.
"I don't believe that the webs and wax are immune to fire."
With that, Dorcas stepped forward and prepared to cast a fire spell. However, Angor stopped him halfway. "Let me do it. You go take care of your two little worms. "
"They've gone crazy. They're completely —" Before Dorcas could finish, he noticed that the two worms had curled up into a ball and were sleeping.
"What happened to them?"
Angor said, "Just like you, I tried to expel the negative emotions inside them. But I couldn't get rid of them, so I can only try to cover up the negative emotions. It should work. They're sleeping now, so you need to take care of them. "
Dorcas stared at Angor for a long time before he lowered his head and muttered, "Why waste mana? They're not that important anyway. "
Angor said, "I'm not wasting mana. I agree with Wa Yi's suggestion. I also want to see the scene of you swallowing the two of them. "
Angor smiled at Dorcas.
Dorcas, on the other hand, froze. Angor's smile was even more terrifying than the smile of a demon.
"Are you a demon?" Dorcas couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not," Angor replied with a serious look.
Wa Yi also spoke up excitedly, "Mister Superdimensional's wish is also my wish. This is not a demon. This is mercy for living things! "
Dorcas felt his eyelids twitching. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Angor said, "Go take care of them. I saw the look in your eyes. You don't want them to die like this, right?"
This time, Dorcas was truly stunned.
Angor saved the worms to laugh at him? Or could it be that he had actually seen through his heart?
Was it a joke? Or was it the warmth hidden under the joke?
Dorcas didn't understand Angor at all. This young man — was just a young man to Dorcas — was complicated, unpredictable, and mysterious.
Dorcas didn't feel the need to stay away from such a mysterious person. Instead, he wanted to know more about him.
Maybe following Angor wasn't such a bad choice after all?
While Dorcas remained silent, Angor turned around and slowly walked to the edge of the illusion.
Ever since he heard Dorcas say that the sandworms would experience mental disorder when they entered the red wax region, a suspicion had already formed in his heart. Now that the worms had returned, Angor's inspection confirmed his suspicion.
This was definitely something done by a nightmare creature.
He didn't know what caused the worms to go crazy. Maybe it was a parasite or some other kind of ability. But he was sure that the faint nightmare aura inside the worms couldn't be wrong.
As long as there were nightmare creatures around, there would always be madness.
Whether it was Midnight Sovereign, Evernight City, or the Heart of Sorrow, as long as there were nightmare creatures nearby, there would be no lack of madness.
Now that Angor was sure it was a nightmare creature, he had to change his strategy.
If he didn't change his strategy, there was only one way to go if they wanted to continue: fight.
Breaking through with brute force was the best option. But if they failed, they would be forced to run away.
Therefore, this battle was unavoidable.
However, when Angor confirmed that the worms were from the nightmare realm, he had another idea.
It was the same trick he used in the Heart of Sorrow. He could use the identity of "Shava" to get food and drink for free. It would be best if he could get through this as well.
Of course, the worms had to admit that they were "Shava" first.
If they didn't, then they would have to go back to the original choice — fight or give up. This was their choice anyway. Angor had to find another way. If this "alternative" failed, it wouldn't affect their original plan.
Therefore, Angor stopped Dorcas' fire attack and decided to try it himself.
"What are you going to do?" Dark Earl flew to Angor and asked.
"Same answer as before. Illusion."
Dark Earl didn't know why Angor insisted on using illusions to test the worms, but he had no other choice but to break through with brute force. It wouldn't hurt to let Angor try.
Under Dark Earl's gaze, Angor reached out his right index finger and slowly poked through the illusion barrier.
In an instant, a white, snake-shaped mist gushed out from Angor's fingertip.
The mist looked like a real snake. With its head held high and its vertical pupils glowing in green, it flicked its forked tongue and dashed toward the nearest web.
Everyone jumped in fright when they saw this scene.
"Illusions" meant that Angor was secretly releasing illusion nodes to confuse the Infant Souls or to lure the Infant Souls out of them.
But Angor's illusion was a direct attack?!
Dorcas also saw what Angor was doing and felt that it was ridiculous. What was the difference between this and his fire attack?
He thought Angor had some kind of plan, but he didn't expect Angor to use brute force like him.
Dorcas didn't feel good at all.
Dark Earl was the only one who didn't feel anything. No matter what Angor did, he still had to face the Infant Spirits. Angor's direct attack was a good thing since it meant he was going to fight.
Just like everyone else, Count Black believed that Angor was calling for a fight.
But that wasn't the case.
When the smoke snake came to the first side of the net, it opened its mouth wide, as if it was roaring. Waves of air appeared in the surrounding air … In the next second, a hole was broken in the middle of the net, and the smoke snake rushed in.
In everyone's eyes, the mist snake was trying to destroy the web, and it worked.
Everyone was a little surprised by Angor's sudden confrontation, but they were also glad to see the net break and the effect was effective.
If the web could be destroyed, it wouldn't be hard to face the Infant Spirits!
They didn't need to worry about the web anymore. Instead, they needed to figure out how to deal with the Infant Spirits. As for the red wax, they could definitely lure the Infant Spirits out by destroying the web. After all, the Infant Spirits were protected by the web, which made it difficult for them to attack. If the web was destroyed, the Infant Spirits would have to stay put and become targets. Therefore, the red wax wouldn't be a problem if the Infant Spirits were lured out.
While everyone was still excited, the mist snake had reached the second web.
Just as everyone was anticipating that the second layer of the web would be broken, what happened next was beyond their comprehension …
Before the mist snake could do anything, the second web split open from the middle and let the mist snake pass through.
What was that? They had never seen anything like that before.
Was the mist snake so intimidated that it split open on its own?
Or could it be that this was another case of inviting him into a trap? Did it let the snake in on purpose because there was a bigger trap inside?
While everyone was still confused, the mist snake kept going deeper into the web. Every time it encountered a web, the web would split open on its own and make way for the mist snake.
The mist snake's raised head no longer looked ferocious. Instead, it looked like a king who was about to conquer his territory. The green glow in its eyes grew stronger, as if it was trying to intimidate all enemies around it.
The web was destroyed one after another, but the mist snake didn't weaken. Instead, it grew thicker.
At the same time, the mist snake was getting closer and closer to the Infant Spirits.
The Infant Spirits, which couldn't be seen because of the dense web, finally showed themselves!
