Chapter 2828 Praise for Saya
It was a baby with no skin and a bloody body exposed directly. At this time, it was hanging upside down, grasping the web.
Its forehead was covered with a silk-like bandage, and below its forehead there was still flesh and blood without skin. The eyes were bulging black pupils, and the smile at the corner of the mouth was split to the ears, revealing a dark mouth.
The muscles on the limbs are constantly melting and regenerating, and the nails are dark and sharp.
Judging from the infant spirit itself, it is already very weird.
But what's even more weird is that the top of the head of this infant spirit is deeply inserted by a green vine covered with thorns. On the exposed part of the green vine, there is a bright red flower.
The red flowers swayed in the wind, and a large amount of red liquid spurted out from the stamens, fell to the ground, and eventually turned into solidified red wax.
When they saw the baby spirit and the flower, everyone not only felt weird, but also became a little more enlightened.
They had previously speculated whether the web and the red wax had nothing to do with the infant spirit, but a trap set by Adanis. But now it is certain that this is indeed Ying Ling’s fault.
The web comes from the bandage on the infant spirit's head.
The red wax is formed from the liquid dripping from the red flower.
This was the first time they had seen such a strange team-up of flowers and infant spirits. Moreover, from the weird smile of the infant spirit, it was really difficult for them to tell whether the infant spirit controlled the flower, or whether the flower hosted the infant spirit, or they simply complemented each other?
"Angel, do you plan to attack them directly?"
When the mist snake broke through the last layer of web, Doakes asked the doubts in his heart.
Angel didn't answer, because Angel already showed the answer without asking.
He did not attack the infant spirit.
The big snake formed from the white mist stopped right in front of the infant spirit. With a high head and green eyes, he looked down at the strange infant spirit climbing to the center of the web.
The whole picture does not look like the infant spirit threatening the mist snake at all, but the mist snake occupying a dominant position, suppressing the tiny infant spirit with the attitude of a god looking down on all living beings.
Of course, this is just everyone's imagination, and they know that the real situation is definitely not the case.
Since the Infant Spirit dared to be released by Adanis to stop them, and Adanis even clearly said, "Without it, you will never reach the Clear Sky Poetry Chamber," it shows that the Infant Spirit is very powerful.
At least, an illusion will certainly not be able to do anything to the infant spirit.
However, what they don't understand is what does Angel mean by controlling the fog snake to stop and look at each other with the infant spirit?
If Angel asked the Mist Snake to attack, they would all understand, but now it seems that the Mist Snake is just showing a high profile without any further actions.
Is this intimidation?
But Ying Ling didn't look frightened...
What's even more strange is that the infant spirit didn't actually attack the fog snake, but swayed the red flowers on its head, seeming to say hello to the fog snake?
"What are you doing? Baby Spirit treats your mist snake as a toy? Are you coaxing the baby?" Doakes guessed to himself.
"Try to communicate." Angel said casually.
"Can you really communicate?" Doakes asked in surprise.
Angel: "How do I know if I can communicate?"
Doakes: "...So what do you mean by trying to communicate?"
Angel replied seriously in the psychic belt: "When trying to communicate, the focus should be on 'trying' rather than 'communicating'."
Doakes said angrily: "Oh, what you said is so mysterious, did your attempt have any results?"
Angel: "Not yet. However, it didn't attack my illusion. Is this considered a foreplay for communication?"
Doakes snorted a few times, not believing Angel's words at all.
The Black Earl, on the other hand, looked at Angel carefully, seeming to see something from his expression. However, the Black Earl did not speak. He just stayed by Angel's side and watched what happened.
The conversation between Angel and Doakes actually did not lie.
He really wanted to see if he could communicate, but it didn't seem to be effective so far... No, it was effective. At least neither the infant spirit nor the flower showed any malice, nor did they attack the fog snake.
It seems more like they are ignoring the fog snakes, maybe because the illusion created by "Nightmare" alone cannot convince them?
Angel froze the fog snake in place for several minutes, but the infant spirit still had no intention of communicating with the fog snake.
But it is worth mentioning that the infant spirit has never moved, let alone attacked the fog snake.
This is actually very eye-catching, because the mist snake is in a condescending position, and any creature with the ability to resist would probably not be willing to accept this kind of high position overlooking the lower position.
But Yingling didn't care about the high posture of the mist snake, and even lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, as if to express his surrender.
But... there is just no communication.
Angel looked at this scene and felt very hesitant. They couldn't stay here forever and spend time with Ying Ling. They had to make the next move after all.
But, should we do that?
Angel thought for a moment and finally made a decision. He took a deep breath and said in the spiritual belt: "I plan to go over and contact the infant spirit to see what's going on."
"Sir, is this a little too... impulsive?" Vai asked worriedly.
Doakes was very supportive of Angel's decision: "The web has been disconnected, we should have attacked it long ago. I'll go with you!"
Angel thought for a moment and thought that it would be a good idea for Doakes to follow him. At least he would have a human shield in the event of a conflict.
However, just as Angel nodded his agreement, the Black Earl said.
"I'll go with you, and Dox will stay here to take care of the two apprentices." The Black Earl said lightly.
Dox was a little dissatisfied: "Why? I want to go too."
Dox didn't want to go before, but now that he saw that the baby spirit didn't dare to attack the mist snake, he had some small thoughts in his mind. The flower on the baby spirit should be the magic food flower, which looks very good... If he can get it, he will make a profit.
Black Earl: "The reason is very simple. If you follow Angel and something goes wrong, you may die, and Angel may also die; and if I follow Angel, whether my clone will die or not, Angel will definitely live."
The situation is actually not clear now.
Although the mist snake was not attacked, it does not mean that the baby spirit will not attack them if they go there.
The mist snake is not a living being, so the baby spirit has no need to attack it deliberately. And if they go there, there is a great possibility that the baby spirit will move.
The baby spirit and the flower, no matter who is the main body, must be powerful. Dox could go forward and act as a meat shield, but it was not necessarily guaranteed that they would all survive.
As for the Black Count, although he felt sorry for this clone, he would not hesitate to do so if he could use this clone to exchange for Angel's survival.
Not to mention the relationship with Rhine and Sanders, Angel himself alone had such weight and value that it was worth it for him to do so.
The Black Count's words were simple and straightforward, and they really touched Dox's heart.
If he and Angel went, they might both die or live. But if the Black Count and Angel went, they would definitely survive... Even if the Black Count's clone met with an accident, it would only be a clone and would not affect the original body.
Thinking of this, Dox felt that it was really a 50-50 chance for him to follow Angel. Although there was no crisis in inspiration, he would not believe in it. After weighing it carefully for a moment, Dox agreed with the Black Count's point of view.
Dox decided to stay to protect the two apprentices.
The Black Count then looked at Angel: "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Although Angel had decided to go and take a look, it didn't mean he would leave immediately. One thing he still needed to do was to transfer the illusion node on Ermi to the external array disk.
Let this mobile illusion become an illusion fixed here.
In this way, Ermi could go with them.
Even though the Black Count clearly said that he could guarantee his survival, Angel still had to be more careful just in case.
After fixing the illusion, Angel and the Black Count exchanged a glance, nodded, and slowly walked out of the illusion.
At the moment he walked out of the illusion.
The Black Count suddenly stopped, his nostrils expanded significantly, as if he was taking a big breath of the outside world.
Angel saw the look on Black Earl's face and knew that Black Earl might be more suspicious next...
Sure enough, after a few seconds, Black Earl turned to look at Angel and said in a meaningful tone: "I smelled a familiar smell in the air."
Before, in Angel's mobile illusion, there was a purification force field, and Black Earl had not smelled the smell outside. But now, after coming out in person, the smell immediately rushed into his nose.
It's called a smell, but it's not a real smell, but a feeling. In other words, a perception beyond the five senses.
This perception is almost exactly the same as the strange feeling when Angel used illusion.
That's why Black Earl was confused.
Angel said calmly: "I also smelled a familiar smell."
Black Earl: "Then we should smell the same smell."
Angel smiled, didn't reply, but walked forward first.
Angel's meaning was very clear, he didn't intend to explain the reason. Although Black Earl had doubts in his heart, he soon didn't want to think about these things because they entered the area of red wax.
They naturally couldn't touch the red wax directly, but floated in the air.
However, even in the air, the Black Earl felt the influence of the red wax.
Before, Dox said that there seemed to be a special force field in the red wax area, which had a certain influence on the spirit, which caused his control over the sandworms to fluctuate.
At that time, they didn't really care too much, because although the sandworms were a little abnormal in the red wax area, it was the weaving of the web that really caused them to undergo a huge change.
But when they really came to the red wax area, the Black Earl discovered how terrible the influence of the red wax was.
Or, it was slightly less terrible, it should be called... horror.
The Black Earl was still thinking about the familiar feeling around him, but when he entered the red wax area, his thoughts became confused without any signs.
He might be thinking about normal things one second ago, but a weird clown would appear in his mind the next second. He would remove the clown from his mind and continue thinking, but the fat factory where soap was being made and the screaming sound of pigs being slaughtered would appear in his mind again.
In this way, the Black Earl entered a very strange state. He was thinking about normal things one second ago, but inexplicable thoughts kept overlapping the next second.
Although his thinking was intermittent and barely able to proceed normally, the images that inexplicably flooded into his mind were extremely weird, including clowns, pig slaughtering, rotting, fading, mutation, and skull removal... Weird scenes kept overlapping.
Sometimes, the Black Earl felt as if he had experienced those scenes, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not his own business. But the next second, he felt that such things had happened before, but the current picture was expressed in the way of "metaphor" and "exaggeration".
It seemed unrelated, but in fact it was bound by internal constraints.
This made the Black Earl feel terrible and even horrible, as if his memory was being replaced, and those crazy memories were normal thoughts, and those self-righteous thoughts were actually... self-righteous.
The Black Earl was not without mental influence, but it was the first time that such a strange and traceless influence was found.
The Black Earl deeply suspected that if he continued to stay here, even for only one minute, he might become another "self".
And that self might think that he was the real self, and the past self was just a false shadow imagined.
This thrilling and terrifying cognition made the Black Earl feel fear for the first time.
He couldn't help but look back at Angel, thinking intermittently, should he leave this area with Angel first?
And Angel was actually also affected.
However, the picture that popped up in Angel's mind was different from that of the Black Earl. The picture that popped up in his mind did not change at all. Every time the picture that popped up was an endless sea of flowers.
Every gorgeous flower in the sea of flowers had a big mouth, and the mouths of these flowers kept saying something.
It was so dense and one after another that Angel could not hear clearly.
After several similar pictures, Angel listened carefully to distinguish and heard that this group of flowers with mouths were constantly complimenting him: Praise the moonlight! Praise the queen! Praise Shava!
In addition to this familiar three-combination praise, they also praised another existence that Angel had never heard of: Praise Shaye!
Angel still remembered that so far, he had heard only four categories of people praised by the creatures of the Nightmare Realm: Moonlight, Queen, Shava and various ministers.
And Shaye, is it a new object of praise?
Who is Shaye?
Angel didn't know that there was no one named Shaye in Gru Town. Perhaps, this is another powerful person in the nightmare world?
Regardless of who Saya is, Angel still feels a little uncomfortable with these images of praise constantly popping up in his mind.
Although the object of their praise is "Angel", and Angel does not feel any mental discomfort, he really does not want to hear so much noise.
Is there any way to block it?
