Chapter 459: Knowledge is Power
The shock on the one-eyed vulture's face was palpable.
At that time, he put all his attention on the turtledove, after all, such a person who could ignore his own mental attacks, the one-eyed vulture was the first time in his life, and he had already regarded the turtledove as his primary target.
Therefore, for Caitlin and Worm, who are separated on the other side, the One-Eyed Vulture is not so concerned, maybe the experienced Catelyn will make the One-Eyed Vulture a little more fearful, but when it comes to the Worm, the One-Eyed Vulture really doesn't take her very seriously.
Although catching the worm was the main purpose of his trip to the Oasis, the one-eyed vulture didn't feel any pressure on him from the worm just for this battle, not even a single loss.
As a result, just as the one-eyed vulture was straining up his strength to kill the turtle dove, the worm's sudden shot hit the one-eyed vulture in the leg, but fortunately, the worm's shot was a little off, and the bullet only grazed the skin of the one-eyed vulture's thigh, bringing out a bloody wound that was not too deep.
This means that the one-eyed vulture's luck is better, and if the worm is more accurate, maybe the one-eyed vulture's thigh bone will be broken by bullets and lose most of its combat ability.
But the crux of the matter, how did she see through the one-eyed vulture's disguise and make sure that he was standing in that position? It's not just the one-eyed vulture who can't figure this out, even Caitlyn next to the worm doesn't understand it.
……
In fact, it was Catelyn who gave the worm a wake-up call at the beginning, and when Catelyn was giving the worm a rough explanation of why the one-eyed vulture was able to create illusions, the worms noticed a detail that the sight they saw at this time was influenced by the one-eyed vulture.
In other words, Worm and Caitlin, including the turtledove that was besieged by a flock of bald birds, all of them seemed to be in the brains of the one-eyed vulture, which is why they saw all the things that the one-eyed vulture wanted them to see.
It's a strange analogy, but it's apt.
The little worm was not entangled in more details, she thought that her brain, eyes, and body were all controlled by the one-eyed vulture, seeing what the one-eyed vulture saw and thinking about the one-eyed vulture.
Of course, the one-eyed vulture is not strong enough to exercise mind control over the worm, but that doesn't prevent the worm from making the next deductions.
After a series of foreshadowing, Xiao Worm believes that in order to see through the disguise of the one-eyed vulture and find his exact location, the key lies in the word "see".
The one-eyed vulture can't create a world out of thin air, the illusions he creates are based on the real world, and the mixing of truth and falsehood will make the illusion more real, and people will be trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves.
Then the worm stopped thinking about it, and turned to test her thoughts with her actions, and she tried to find the flaws in the one-eyed vulture, and she really found it.
What is the worm best at, naturally it is the super vision brought by her "eagle eye" talent, the worm has always used her own eyes to see the surrounding environment, and it is natural to be confused by the one-eyed vulture, unless the worm can change the angle, she will never be able to solve this puzzle.
I don't know if it was the worm's flash of inspiration, or the one-eyed vulture herself didn't realize the problem, or maybe it was both, but when the worm circled around Caitlyn for most of the time, she finally found an angle, a very crucial angle.
The worm looked at Catelyn from this angle, and found that her image was not three-dimensional, not that there was any description or narration, but that it was really not three-dimensional, and in the eyes of the worm, Catelyn was like a flat painting.
……
Just as people have two ears, for the same sound source, there are always subtle differences in the sounds heard by the two ears, so there is such a thing as "listening to the sound and distinguishing the position"; People also have two eyes, and even if they look at the same thing, there are subtle differences in the sights seen by the two eyes, so the world will be three-dimensional in the eyes of humans.
The three-dimensional sense is only available to people with sound and healthy eyes, but not to one-eyed vultures.
This is the simple and easy-to-understand "binocular effect", in which when the human eye looks at an object, it actually sees two slightly different sides of the same object, and the two images are integrated by the brain to form a picture with three-dimensional depth.
However, there are many people who still feel that the scene in front of them is not flat after closing one eye, which is not to say that the "binocular benefit" is inaccurate, but because of life experience, the relevant areas of the brain have long stored a lot of scenes seen in the past, so that even if one eye is closed, the brain will inadvertently correct the scene seen in one eye.
If you have any doubts about the "binocular effect" because of this, you can try threading the needle with only one eye open, and you will definitely tie your hand.
Therefore, ordinary people tend to ignore the difference between one eye and two eyes, after all, this thing is not easy to make a difference even if it is deliberately observed, - Xiao Worm is different, she is an "evolutionary" with the talent of "Eagle Eye", and the best thing is the ability to observe.
Even the slightest difference cannot escape the eyes of the worm.
Now that she had found the angle from which the one-eyed vulture was looking at this side from a distance, the worm pushed it backwards and determined that the one-eyed vulture was standing on the line behind her, but how far away it was, the worm had no way to confirm it further, all she could do was try her luck.
Knowing the direction but not knowing the distance is already good for the worm, before she couldn't even tell where the one-eyed vulture was, but now that she knows the direction, the worm has some initiative in her hands.
With one shot, the worm was lucky, wounding the one-eyed vulture on the spot and forcing him out of his disguised state.
……
"What a smart kid."
Catelyn looked at the worm in front of her, and then at the one-eyed vulture standing in the distance, and she quickly figured out how the worm had managed to find the one-eyed vulture, and her eyes lit up, and Catelyn almost couldn't resist the desire to applaud the worm.
The worm's shot was also equivalent to relieving the turtledove, -- after eating the worm's spear, the one-eyed vulture was shocked, and did not control the large flock of bald monster birds to besiege the turtle dove, and the turtle dove, whose pressure had plummeted, had not yet figured out what was going on, and he bared his teeth and looked around at the bald monster birds who had retreated to the side for the time being, full of confusion.
