Chapter 1255 (1/2)
The thing that leads the way is not a frog. I mean, although it does feel like a frog in the first place, and it sounds like a frog in general, it's not a frog, at least not the kind of frog that people know. The evidence comes from a combination of details, body details, skin details, sensory and intellectual considerations.
People will generally feel something and quickly pull it into their own knowledge system, which has advantages and disadvantages. Evil gods and their descendants are very good at taking advantage of this. They look like creatures of the world, but they are actually quite different.
Except for those who have been carefully observed, the other leaders may not be affected. Their attention is focused on how to avoid tentacles, so as not to let the whole team perish because of their unintentional mistakes.
It's no wonder that they, though the prophecy points out that frogs will take them to their destination, it is not synonymous with pointing out the direction and crossing the danger. This road may be right, but no one can guarantee that it is safe. In other words, it is a thorough mistake to find the so-called security in this environment of going deep into the enemy camp at this moment. Every step taken here is a choice between life and death.
As they went deeper, the tentacles around them became more and more dense. However, unlike the vigorous tentacles on the outside, the dense tentacles inside show a decadent appearance. The stiff body was paralyzed on the ground, the bristles on it no longer wriggle, and even the color was a lot dimmer. On the other hand, the sand around them is pale, just like the ashes left after complete combustion, without any vitality.
”This land is dead, and I can't feel any magic in it. They are insulated from magic.”
It may have been influenced by the changes around her, and via spoke in a low voice about her feelings. Before in the tentacles, everyone was careful not to feel the breath and expose the position. But now, above the dead land, they may not have to worry so much.
”It has eaten the land clean. We can't find any more nutrition here, and changing the position of these tentacles will consume more energy, so we simply give it up. ”
Based on what the sorceress said, Lolo made a further conclusion. This conclusion sounds very reasonable, and similar examples may be found in nature. But if it's right, it means they're the only living creatures in the wilderness.
The dormant tentacles began to react, and their tops and bristles twitched like zombies being shocked. They are only temporarily abandoned, and the descendants of the evil gods have not really cut off their contact with them.
On the contrary, it turns these ineffective filter feeding organs into the best enemy hunting tools. Any organism or energy body entering this area will naturally cause their reaction. Concealment is meaningless.
”Run, don't be afraid of the things on the ground. They are still some time away from being able to move again.” Grey Pao first noticed the change of their arrival for the dead zone, and he was the first to find that the leading frog was missing.
I think it's enough for the frog to be sent here. Just as tentacles can find teams based on their energy, mages can also find each other's location by perceiving magic in reverse.
