MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 102 Take blood (Part 1)
In the first phase of the capture, Cheese overwhelmed most of the resources at hand, and even Yoni was sent out to rescue. The result also lived up to his expectations. The spiders with many hands and feet relied on their fast loading skills to shoot the second round of crossbow arrows, stabilizing the huge worm. This is the most important part of the whole plan, but not the most difficult part of the whole plan.
Pulling the fish into the net is the first step, and how to keep it from breaking free is the most important part. To be honest, it is unrealistic to drag the worm ashore. At this time, just letting it fall into the fishing net has already taken all the efforts of the spiders. It is impossible to uproot this monster that is rooted in the bottom of the lake. This is also the reason why Cheese directly set blood taking as the second step of action. Since he couldn't work calmly on the shore, he took blood from a living body on a spider web.
The gray robe stepped forward, and the wooden board that had been set up on the edge of the downhill long ago turned into a sliding prop, carrying him towards the lake. Don't forget, although cheese's skills are not as good as professional fighters, they are also completely different from the image of mages in people's impressions. At that time in the City of Ten Thousand Laws, apart from the mages of the Totem School, few spellcasters had a healthier physique than the gray robe.
And the means of gliding is not for the sake of being handsome, it is purely the optimal solution to move quickly between two points with a difference in height. What's more, when the cheese slid to the stake, the forward inertia could also help him take off calmly, step over the height of the stake, and step directly on the edge of the spider web. It took the mage two seconds to balance his body. After all, he didn't have the balance of Pingwei, so he could only cheat a little with magic to quickly restore his balance.
The gray robe is guiding the cheese. This is not a metaphor, the enchanted robe is like a self-aware armor, leading the mage who wears it to move in the correct way in the predetermined direction. The spider web wrapped in worms was vibrating violently, and it was impossible for a spider to stand on it with only two feet.
A pattern of large spider webs flickered on the back of the gray robe, as if the cheese had become a part of the spider web. The mage's feet seemed to be dancing some kind of special dance steps, delicately maintaining their balance on the irregularly trembling silk threads.
This spell is inspired by the spirit of the earth that Cheese saw on the prairie, the non-stop dancing dancer, endowing the gray robe with the ability to change and deal with the transformation. However, Cheese's dance steps are not graceful, but more weird and mechanical. He wants to approach the goal in the fastest and safest way, not to please anything.
The edge of the gray robe was fluttering, and all the spider webs under the worm's body were pressed into the water, splashing a large amount of water, making a sound like thunder. The spiders grasp the edge with four legs, fix their bodies with four legs, and wrestle with each other with the help of spider silk like a tug-of-war.
The wrestling will not last forever, and the outcome is sealed when it begins. With such a huge difference in body size, and without mechanical devices such as pulleys to increase their strength, people on the shore cannot stay in a stalemate with things in the water for too long. Even if they can, spider silk as a medium of wrestling will not work.
Cheese's task has a very strict time limit, so strict that he himself cannot predict where and when the collapse will start from the spider web. All he can do is as soon as possible.
"Let it go! Stop! Take it!" Goethe's command did not stop, and as the gray robe stepped on the spider web, his command also changed. The meaning of mediation is to show weakness. The two collide with their strongest parts, and the winner will be announced instantly. However, if one side temporarily abandons the part and tries to make a detour, it will be difficult to decide the result immediately.
This is not to say that the relationship between strength and weakness will be reversed immediately because of one party's strategy. The result is important, and the time when the result is produced is equally important. In many cases, the biggest failure is not to let the result happen, but to let the result happen immediately, without reservation and without room. Therefore, the delay is meaningful. The edge of the spider web is deliberately enlarged, which is the room for delay.
Following the command, the spiders put the entangled part of the wooden post into the spider web, and then tightened it again, and retrieved as much as possible into their hands. In the reciprocating cycle, what is being fought for is precious time.
The feet have already stepped into the water. The touch of spider silk sometimes disappears. Cheese's breathing sped up uncontrollably, and his muscles tensed a little, but his pace was never faster or slower.
The pointed knife inserted in the waist was pulled out, thanks to the ancient tomb, they provided inexhaustible weapon resources, saving Cheese the effort to create a weapon capable of piercing the skin of the worm. The inscription on the knife was slightly heated after the influx of magic power, and the water droplets that fell into the groove of the inscription were instantly dyed red.
"I hope it will succeed this time." The cheese whispered, and quickly walked around the worm's dangerous head to where it was struggling. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Because of the force, the struggle here is the smallest. Holding the handle of the knife with both hands, the mage used all his strength to push the tip of the knife into the rough skin. He did feel the resistance at first, but the alchemy magic quickly adjusted the texture of the knife tip, allowing it to break through the outer shell. Entirely submerged in the body of the worm.
Such a wound is naturally nothing to the size of a worm, but a closed figure, no matter how small a break is on it, also means the loss of the concept of closure. Mages can use this to expand the tearing part, of course It is also necessary to consider the ratio of this gap to the whole. If the ratio gap is too large, it will be difficult for the spell to have a quick and obvious effect.
The blade was pulled down with all its strength, trying to leave a longer wound on the worm. It's a pity that the strength of the blade is far from being comparable to that of a single point, and it will break in two every time it is pulled away. Cheese narrowed his glasses slightly, threw away the half-cut knife, and then stretched his entire left arm into the gap.
Such a shallow wound, of course, cannot touch the inside of the worm, let alone its organ that stores dragon blood, but cheese does not need to touch it with his own hands, he is a mage, and his knowledge of anatomy is just for better spellcasting .
"Let me see, where is it?" By touching the epidermal tissue of the worm, another new perception appeared in Cheese's feelings. The whole worm is like a dark map, starting from the point he touched , the map is gradually becoming clear under the exploration of magic power.
This spell was originally used to search for which part of the human body the curse is attached to, but now it is used in reverse and becomes a spell to detect the target's body. Cheese did not spend time on horizontal exploration. It is very complicated to cross different organizational structures, and there is no need to waste energy. He directed the magic power directly into the depths of the worm's body, where the dragon's blood was probably located, and he just hoped it wasn't too deep.
