Chapter 450: The Battle of White Sands (Part II)
In the face of these airborne troops, Wei Ya instinctively wanted to use the sand under her feet to form a shield to resist, but she forgot that the white sand was a dead natural substance, and there was no aura on it at all, and magic could not drive such a thing.
Fortunately, Cheese's reaction was not much slower than that of the female mage, and he flicked his fingers to open the lid of the oil pot in his palm, and at this point, the simple flames could not stop those black reapers, who were extremely fast, and the energy they carried ensured that even if they had to pass through a wall of fire, they would still have a lot of lethality.
Therefore, if you want to stop this attack, you can't rely on a single barrier.
The lampshade of the "click" of Dawn's Breath was opened.
Although the lantern was designed to be constructed without refueling or wick replacement, it was even made to be used as a flail hammer due to dwarven casting habits. However, Cheese continued to adjust it in the years that it was in his hands, and even went to explain his ideas to its caster if necessary, and asked him to transform it.
The Hammer Archduke was initially a little resistant to the Grey Robe's attempt to transform his supreme masterpiece, but later he understood that the lamp was his work, but since he thought Cheese was the best owner, it was up to him to adjust it to his needs.
The black insects broke through the mist, leaving only about ten meters away from the people on the ground. At this level of impact, even the most powerful warriors could not make perfect evasive moves, their speed was not comparable to that of bows and arrows, and only crossbows fired at close range could compete with them.
Just then, Cheese's spell was complete, and he held his lantern aloft and threw the oil jug into the air. The oil droplets fluttered in the air, but they did not continue to rise or fall. As if temporarily free from the constraints of gravity, they turned into a dark brown bubble above their heads. And the light of the lantern shines into those bubbles, making them shine unusually bright.
Insects are always phototaxis, and even if the spews of the Evil God's Descendants are not strictly insects, these simple soldiers obviously do not have the organs to develop deep thoughts. Instinctively attracted to them, they reorient themselves and crash into the droplets!
Strange to say, those oil droplets should have been shattered or smashed to the ground after being hit by the black worm, but under the gaze of the gray robe, they were only a small displacement in the air with the source of the impact after being hit. Even if it touches the bodies of the two of them, they will spin and fly back into the air like elasticity. And the black worm that burrows into it is like being wrapped in amber, and can only struggle limitedly.
The crackling rain of death was swallowed up by the bubbles of oil droplets, and the ineffective oil droplets fell onto the sand, and the surface was quickly wrapped in sand and dust, turning into brown-black balls of earth.
The seeds that had been thrown into the ground by Cheese sprouted and burrowed into the ball of earth, greedily absorbing the energy inside, a resource they could only find in this barren land. It's a bonus, if they are burned, there will be no usable parts left.
"Howl!" "Howl!" seemed to notice that the advance troop he had sent had disappeared, and the huge monster let out an indecipherable roar from its mouthparts. Immediately after, another wave of black rain erupted from it and rushed into the air again.
"Walking, standing still must be our first bad luck. Cheese visually measured the amount of black rain and immediately made a judgment.
They must now keep moving, not to dodge the deadly bugs, but to get close to the enemy, so that this top-down tactic is no longer so easy to work. Besides, they had so few materials at their disposal that even if Cheese had a big bag of spellcasting materials on his back, it would be unwise to fight a war of attrition against such a behemoth.
If you want to defeat it, you must not wait for it to show its fatigue, you must break through as soon as possible, find a weak point, and kill it. Before that, he had to get as many resources as he could.
The seeds, like grains of rice falling out of a broken sack, did not care what the seeds of the plant were, from the flower seeds to the herbs, cheese spilled almost all the seeds on his body. In order to be able to get their help later.
But before that, the next batch of black rain had already crept in, and those black swords fell from the sky without a sound, and if they hadn't watched them fall with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have been able to react.
Cheese didn't plan to shoot them all down this time, as the third black rain had already been sprayed into the air. In all fairness, this monster alone is capable of destroying cities. In particular, if those black insects can still float some distance by the wind when they are in the air, it is simply a living natural disaster machine.
Anyway, it was also decided to pay attention to smashing the Yellow Dragon, and instead of spending energy on defusing the offensive again and again, it was better to let them not find the target in the first place. Illusions have long been considered an essential element of magic, and they are often used in gatherings to accuse wizards or other spellcasters.
However, the illusion that Cheese uses is slightly different, he does not want to hide the two figures, nor does he want to create many similar groups of doppelgangers to confuse his opponent. These methods have no practical meaning in the face of the huge number of black rains, as long as there are enough of them, sooner or later they will find the essence of their true existence.
But who said he could only create his own illusions? As the gray robe waved his fingers, Wei Ya witnessed an incredible scene.
I saw that the black insects that had swooped to half the height suddenly began to inhale, and the air sacs behind them inflated again, and they actually braked sharply in the air! Not only that, the black insects looked very confused, they slowly climbed to the height, and seemed to have returned to the time when they had just been sprayed out by the mother.
The airbags, which were designed to be used once, apparently could not resist repeated use, and many of the black bugs broke their backs during the second climb and fell from the sky screaming and falling. Such a fall has neither power nor accuracy. From the perspective of an onlooker, the killing machine, which had just been intricately designed, turned into a prototype in the blink of an eye.
"What did you do?" Wei Ya was surprised at what she saw, she didn't expect Cheese to be able to deal with these monsters with enough casualties so easily.
"Simple, I turned the world upside down for what they felt. Remember those winds? To manipulate them, you only need to change the shape of the magic to achieve different effects. The insects saw the real thing, but their senses were disrupted by the wind, and they felt like they were rising as they fell. Actually, we can't be sure if we're moving forward, are we? All our senses, the so-called marching, are guaranteed by references. As long as the reference object is removed, or the information received by the body is slightly distorted, let alone insects, even people will start to get dizzy. ”
Vision, in the apprentices of the Grey Tower, does not mean false images or voices that are not there in the first place, it refers to illusions, deception, and confusion. This is what Cheese does, and none of what the black worms who are affected by his spells feel, see, or see.
When two conflicting feelings are combined, confusion arises, and the conflicting senses become the greatest source of illusions, and this illusion is even more difficult to get rid of.
