Chapter 447: The Invisible Sand
The thing that leads the way is not a frog. I mean, while it does have the same first impression as a frog, and the chirping sound it makes is the same as what one would normally think of as a frog, it's not a frog, at least not the kind of frog that people are familiar with. The evidence comes from the details, the details of the limbs, the details of the skin, the combination of the senses and the intellect.
There are pros and cons to the fact that people will quickly categorize something and pull it into their existing knowledge system after feeling it in general. And the evil gods and their descendants are very good at taking advantage of this. They look like creatures of this world, but in reality they are very different.
Fortunately, probably due to the influence of the tentacles around him, except for Cheese, no one else had the strength to carefully observe the messenger who led the way. Their focus is on how to dodge the tentacles so that they don't end up with the whole team because of their own unintentional mistakes.
No wonder they are, although the prophecy indicates that the frog will lead them to their destination, but pointing the way is not synonymous with passing through danger, and the path may be right, but no one can guarantee that it will be safe. In other words, it would be a complete mistake to find so-called safety in such an environment deep into the enemy camp at this moment. Every step taken here is a life-and-death decision.
And as they go deeper, the tentacles around them become denser and denser. However, unlike the energetic tentacles on the periphery, the dense tentacles on the inside show a decadent appearance. The body that should have been straight slumped to the ground, the bristles on it no longer wriggled, and even the color was much darker. In contrast, the sand around them took on a pale color, as if it were ashes left over from a complete burn, and no longer had a trace of vitality.
"The land is dead, I can't feel the slightest magic in it, it's insulating from magic. ”
Probably affected by the changes around her, Wei Ya said her feelings in a low voice. Previously, everyone was cautious when they were in the tentacles, for fear that the sound of breathing would be felt and the position would be revealed. But now in this dead land, they probably don't have to worry so much anymore.
"It has eaten away the land. There is no longer a trace of nourishment to be found here, and changing the position of these tentacles again will take more energy, so they will simply be abandoned. ”
Based on what the female mage had said, Lolo made a further assertion that sounded so reasonable that similar examples might be found in nature. But if it was right, it meant that they were the only living creatures in the wasteland.
The dormant tentacles began to react, their tips and bristles twitching like electrocuted zombies. They were only temporarily abandoned, and the Descendants of the Evil God did not really cut ties with them.
Instead, it turns these non-functional filter feeding organs into the best tools for seeking enemies, and any living beings or energy bodies that enter the area will naturally cause their reactions. Concealment, it is already meaningless.
"Run, don't be afraid of the things on the ground, they're still some time away from moving again. The Grey Robe was the first to notice the changes their arrival had brought to the dead land, and he was the first to notice that the frog that had led the way was missing.
I think it's enough for the existence of sending that frog out, and bringing it here. Just as tentacles can find a squad based on energy, mages can also reverse their perception of magic to find each other's location.
In fact, the magic power itself does not have the function of seeking enemies, because the upper and lower four directions are filled with similar energy, but the place where the natural magic power is drained out like this is indeed rare in the world.
Unfold the magical vision and see a scene that has never been seen before, and many spellcasters have spent their entire lives dedicating and cataloging the different magical spectrums they see in the magical vision, trying to strip them away and exploit them. Few people are curious about the world after the magic is gone.
When the colors on the spectrum are not dimmed in the way of extinguishing, but completely removed, what kind of colors can they see? I am afraid that no one can answer, because we ourselves live in a world of colors, even black, it is a color that exists in substance, in the visual world, there is no nothingness, it is beyond the scope of what can be depicted.
"Don't look around with magic, keep your vision normal. In fact, there was no need for Cheese to remind her, Wei Ya only tried for a moment, and then consciously closed the magic vision.
It was entirely out of the body's self-protection mechanism, and her consciousness told her bluntly that it was not an acceptable scene, and even whether what she saw could be counted as a scene was worth scrutinizing. If fear comes from the unknown, then nothingness has gone beyond the unknown that has not yet been known, it belongs to the unknowable realm that cannot be understood and cannot be described, and when it comes into contact with this realm, it is no longer a simple emotion as fear.
This soul-like shiver is destined to be remembered for the rest of its life.
"Yoni, pull her. Sensing the female mage's abnormality, the gray robe immediately knew her condition.
It can't be helped, for the caster, it is almost instinctive to observe unfamiliar areas with a magical vision, even if he reminds him a little earlier, he may not really be able to stop the opponent. Fortunately, the trembling was snuffed out before it could turn into a substantial injury, and if Wei Ya was given some time, she would be able to come out on her own, hopefully.
In comparison, Lolo and Yuni were lucky, one of them was not a spellcaster who used magic powers, and the other was simply an ordinary person, so nothing else here could harm them except the white sand and tentacles on the ground.
Sometimes, the ability to see more is not all good, and trying to sort out the context behind things is far from being easy to live on the surface. Deep thinkers tend to pull themselves into deeper quagmire.
"Ahead!"
In fact, it didn't take anyone to explain, they could all see that in front of this white sandy land, something stood abruptly.
From a distance, it didn't look like a creature, with its branched branches and flower-like organs blooming at the top, making it more plant-like. The massive body was buried deep in the sand, and the exposed parts alone were already reminiscent of windmills and towers. Without a doubt, it is the goal of this team's trip.
"Well, at least it's not too much of an outrage. ”
