Chapter 2629: Terrible Stench

Angel hesitated for a moment before replying: "According to the information I got, it should be, it shouldn't be in the smelly ditch."

When Angel said this before, he was still a little confident and looked absolutely impossible; but when he stood at the entrance of this road, he became a little less confident in his words.

Because the flavor here is so strong.

If the prison ladder is really inside, then you should be able to smell the stench even if you stand in front of the prison ladder.

But in the underground maze of the nightmare world, he never smelled any bad smell from beginning to end. Instead, he smelled the fragrance - the fragrance of the devil's food flower.

It was precisely because of his experience in the nightmare world that he was sure that the ladder to the prison would no longer smell like a ditch.

But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that he was a little overconfident before. The projection of Naraku City in the nightmare world is Naraku City when it was not completely destroyed. Maybe the management of the stinking ditch at that time was not as bad as it is now, so even if Angel is in the stinking ditch, maybe he can No smell.

Or could it be that Angel was surrounded by the faint fragrance of Kao Kao's saliva at that time, so he couldn't smell the smell at all?

If these reasons are true, then the conclusion he reached before may be biased.

Because of this, Angel didn't speak as forcefully as before.

Vai also heard the hesitation in Angel's tone, which was completely different from the previous certainty.

As Angel's new little fan, Vai naturally won't blame his idol, and he has even helped Angel think of excuses.

——After all, my lord got the information from other channels and has never really been here. There is a gap between ideals and reality. This is normal in itself. So, how can we blame adults?

Although Vai came up with this excuse and had no complaints about Angel, this did not prevent him from worrying about the reality.

He murmured repeatedly in a low voice: "What should we do if we are really in a smelly ditch... what should we do..."

What was echoing in everyone's ears at this time was Vai's "What should I do?"

On the other side, the Black Earl remained silent because he jumped directly onto Angel, because Angel is the center of the purification force field and the cleanest place.

If it was really in the stinking ditch, the Black Earl believed that Angel would not make himself so embarrassed, so he was the best choice.

However, after all, he was a well-known wizard in the southern region. He ran to Angel to avoid the smell. It would be really embarrassing if he said it out loud. Therefore, he said nothing and just walked to Angel as if nothing had happened. The deputy was a little tired from flying, so he treated Angel like a tool man's mount.

The Black Earl's little thoughts were very precise, but Angel was not a fool, so how could he not know what the Black Earl was thinking.

However, pretending to be confused is a natural talent of mature humans. After all, it is rare to be confused, which can make life smoother.

Angel could see the unusual behavior of the Black Earl, and Vai, who was always the tool man's mount, could naturally guess it too.

But the Black Earl is a small stone slab, and it is not awkward if it falls on Angel; he is a big living person, what should he do? Do we have to keep our hands around Angel's thighs all the way? ——Although this idea made Vai very excited, he knew that if he really did this, he would definitely not get any good results.

"What does it look like to cry and cry? It's like being in a stinking ditch. You have to adapt to any harsh environment. This is a qualified wizard. Look at Kael, didn't he say nothing? That’s the pattern, that’s the gap.”

"You know why? Kael has explored many ruins, encountered countless crises, and it is also common between life and death. And this little smell will not kill you, and it is still under Angel's purification power What are you afraid of in the field?”

What he said was true. Kael did not appear to be feeling any discomfort, and the reason was probably similar to what he said... However, the speaker's tone sounded so much like a certain person.

Everyone thought about this and quickly turned their heads to look in the direction of "someone".

Sure enough, Doakes, who had been silent and dull, his eyes glowed again, and there was no doubt that he was the one who spoke just now.

"Have you come back to your senses? So, are you about to start the final battle with your inspiration?" Angel's words were no longer as hidden as before, because Doakes himself had already woken up.

Doakes shook his head: "What are you starting with? It's already over, how can we start?"

Angel was stunned for a moment, this...is it over? Does inspiration increase talent so quickly? There is no sign or even a little bit of energy leaked out?

Seeing the confusion on Angel's expression, Doakes explained: "There is no decisive battle. The inspiration is me and I am the inspiration. So what I do is to reconcile with the inspiration and then let the inspiration sublime. This is good for me and for the inspiration." It’s all benefits. Once it’s settled, it’s over, simple and easy.”

Doakes said this with a smile.

But is it really as easy and simple as Doakes said?

The answer is clear, definitely not. Everyone was very clear-minded. What Doakes said was actually because he was so proud after being promoted.

It's like after a difficult magic test, a top student with good grades, facing a group of gloomy students, pretends to be surprised and says: "You think it's difficult? How come? Isn't it just basic operations?"

When the nerd says this, he naturally feels superior and proud. But he forgets the hardships of studying late into the night and practicing a lot.

And Dox is such a "nerd".

If it was as simple and easy as he said, Dox would not have been unable to upgrade his inspiration for so many years, until he had a vague sense of breakthrough this time, and he would have shamelessly followed everyone to rub the relics.

Moreover, without Angel and the Black Earl to help, he would not point out the strangeness, nor let others tell Dox about the abnormal situation. Without this operation, Dox would not have been so successful.

Therefore, what Dox said at this time was just a show of complacency, and there was no reference value.

Of course, there are also people in this world who can reach the heights that other wizards envy without practicing or doing too much practice. However, using Jon's "scumbag, nerd" classification method, this kind of person can no longer be called a "nerd", but a real "god of learning".

There is actually a recognized "god of learning" on the scene.

This person is undoubtedly the idol that Wai worships - Angel. In just a few years, he has stepped from a mortal to the height of a formal wizard, and the last step is the road to true knowledge; and during this period, he has also mastered the powerful art of alchemy, and his illusion achievement is comparable to Sanders of the same level at that time.

Just listening to this is enough to make people envious and jealous.

The most important thing is that this kind of person is generally unaware of his achievements as long as he does not make a forced comparison. Unlike academic masters who need to rely on "pretending", they are truly unaware in most cases.

And such examples are everywhere. Take the situation when Angel learned that Wai worshipped him. At that time, Angel's first thought was: Why would Wai worship me? There is nothing worth worshipping about me? There must be a conspiracy, absolutely a conspiracy. Wai intends to use me to fight against the Black Earl...

The above is the so-called talent in the belly, but not knowing it.

...

Angel was not like the others, thinking about so many complicated and trivial things. As the leader, the only thing he wanted now was to move forward... and to cheer up the depressed atmosphere.

And now, Dox's awakening gave Angel a flash of inspiration.

"It's over? Really over? That's great!" Angel came to Dox with a happy face and looked at Dox with expectant eyes: "Since your inspiration has been sublimated. Then tell us quickly, is the ladder of the hanging prison in the stinking ditch?"

Everyone also reacted at this time, and they all looked at Dox with the same expectant look as Angel. Even the Black Earl turned the stone slab and pointed his nose at Dox.

Facing the eyes of the crowd and the expectations that could be felt without saying anything, Dox's expression was not very happy. Instead, he froze in an instant and stammered: "This...what...you..."

"What are you talking about? Why, don't you know?" Angel asked in confusion, "Where is your inspiration? Release it quickly."

Dox said a little embarrassedly: "My inspiration is not a pet. I can release it whenever I want! Besides, I have said many times that I am not a prophecy wizard. Don't use me as a prophecy wizard!"

"I didn't ask you, I was asking about your inspiration." Angel said seriously.

Dox: "My inspiration is also me!"

Angel raised his eyebrows and stared at Dox quietly without saying a word, his eyes gradually becoming deep. This deepness made Dox feel a little cold on his back.

After a few seconds, Dox finally couldn't hold on any longer and said, "I really don't know. My inspiration is sublimated, but this is only a phased result. It needs a process of nirvana rebirth."

"Just like a seed falling into the earth, it also needs the nourishment of spring and summer before it can finally bloom and bear fruit."

"This requires waiting, waiting. Understand?"

Angel narrowed his eyes: "In other words, your inspiration is completely ineffective now?"

Dox nodded.

"When can it be restored?" Angel's voice began to become emotionless.

"Large, about... a few days? Or a few weeks? Or... a few years?"

Angel didn't want to listen anymore, turned his head indifferently, and ignored Dox. Before, he still thought that Dox's inspiration would help them. Even if they went to the ladder of the hanging prison, they still needed Dox's inspiration to find the wood spirit, so they accommodated him all the way and slowly walked through the narrow road.

Now it seems that there is an egg to help.

Dox, who has lost his value, Angel doesn't want to care about him anymore.

Although they couldn't get an answer from Dox, they couldn't stay at this entrance forever, so they had to move forward.

Angel: "Since Dox is awake, let's go in. According to the sound echo positioning technique and the exploration of the speed spirit, at least in the short range, there is no passage to the stinking ditch."

Wai said silently: "This is even more terrible. Even the adults' sound echo positioning technique can't detect the entrance to the stinking ditch, but it's already so smelly here. It's hard to imagine what it would smell like if you go deeper into it."

Wai's words were deeply agreed by the Black Earl for the first time. However, the Black Earl still didn't say anything and stayed on Angel, as if he was a pendant.

Angel looked at Wai: "No matter whether the ladder of the hanging prison is in the stinking ditch or not, no matter how strong the smell is inside. Believe me, at least I will never let the stench get into the illusion."

Angel was sincere and gave a clear guarantee. Besides, Wai was still a fan of Angel. With the added bonus of the idol filter, Wai was convinced.

As for Dox and Kael, there was no need for Angel to comfort them. They were not afraid of the smell.

If they really couldn't stand it, they could just block their five senses.

As for the fact that the odor on their bodies might not disappear for many days after they said it, it didn't matter. They could just continue to block their five senses. Anyway, it was others who were stinking, not themselves.

"Then let's go. This is not a safe place after all." Angel said, looking back at the twin clock towers in the distance.

He was not worried about the two wizard-level witch ghosts, but... the latecomers.

Now it was still peaceful here, but the latecomers didn't know the situation, and they might accidentally ignite the bomb barrel that had been silent for many years. By then, it would probably be a mess here.

If that special witch ghost used that extraordinary item, the master might come over too.

In order to avoid an unexpected encounter with the old monster, they must leave here quickly.

Moreover, if the master really comes, maybe they can use the time difference to pass through the hall without meeting each other.

Thinking of this, Angel did not hesitate and stepped into the darkness first.

…

Everyone had different feelings when they re-entered the familiar maze.

There were no mutated carrion-eating squirrels or witch ghosts here. Everything looked deserted, but there was a stench that neither Wai nor the Black Earl could stand.

Although they were now in the purification force field and could not smell the outside smell, it seemed that they could rest easy, but this also meant that they could not extend their sense of touch and their perception of danger would drop to the lowest point.

This is where the benefits of the team are reflected.

Wai and the Black Earl lost their sense of danger for their own reasons, but others were not too afraid of the stench, so there was no need to worry about safety.

Even for people other than Wai and the Black Earl, this quiet maze tunnel without monsters made them walk very easily.

As soon as he relaxed, there were no monsters to disturb him, and Dox's inspiration was successfully upgraded, his chattering voice returned.

Like a devil's voice lingering in everyone's ears.

The one who was most affected was naturally Angel. Because Dox's words were almost all questions, and these questions all needed Angel to answer.

Perhaps because of this, although others were also suffering from Dox's voice attack, no one stopped him.

Because it was not just Dox, they also wanted to know these questions-

What did Angel do when he suddenly interrupted the mind tie before?

How did Angel know that the perception would be reduced when multiple witch ghosts practiced?

Also, how did he force the witch ghosts to merge their shadows?

And, can the silver pendant and the crown really fit together?
