While the Snow Thunder Bird Number Eight gobbled down the iced fruit plate, Ye Chui shared the information he had explored. Finally, he said, “That spy must be dealt with. Number Eight identifies the person by scent and does not know their appearance.”
“Then what do we do now? If we directly tell the Gale tribe there is a spy among them, they definitely will not believe it.” Debbie frowned in thought.
“So I think we should disguise ourselves first and infiltrate the Gale tribe. We meet the eldest prince, clear the misunderstanding, then find a way to eliminate that spy.” Ye Chui stated his plan. Truth be told, even if they fought the Gale tribe directly, he would not be afraid. The flying magic vehicle could suppress from high altitude with a nuclear strike and wipe out the Gale tribe in one go, but the key was that many Green Bay tribe people were now held hostage by the Gale tribe. Moreover, Ye Chui did not want to kill off the Gale tribe completely. Their strength could still be useful.
“Then what identity do you want to use to infiltrate?” Posli asked.
Ye Chui looked at her. “What people are around the ninth prince as guards? I want to disguise as one of them to enter. Posli, you come in with me. We directly find the eldest prince and explain the truth to him.”
Posli’s eyes lit up. She approved of Ye Chui’s plan. She then introduced the several guards following the ninth prince. Although those guards had sneaked in secretly, they themselves had some fame. Disguising rashly might not convince the eldest prince enough. Ye Chui listened to Posli’s introduction and soon nodded. “Among those guards, there is a space magic mentor. Green can disguise as him. There is also a summoner. Debbie can disguise as that one. They have a gravity system magic mentor too…”
“Guild leader, let me handle the gravity system magic mentor.” Jacob volunteered. Gravity system magic was very rare. Almost every one had a name and reputation. To impersonate that gravity magic mentor, Jacob seemed the best choice.
However, Ye Chui shook his head with a smile. “Jacob, your adaptability is not good enough. Let me do it.”
“But gravity magic…” Jacob said hurriedly.
“I know it too. Learned it from you.” Ye Chui said lightly.
After Jacob awakened his magic guide book, Ye Chui had thought of downloading Jacob’s spells, but at that time, there was no Thunder function. He only got fragments, so he gave up. Now with the upgraded new ability, Ye Chui had long since downloaded a large number of gravity magics during free time.
Everyone was somewhat surprised. Ye Chui’s title of all-round magic mentor was truly well-deserved.
“Then how do we handle the disguise?” Green continued to ask.
“Leave it to me!”
Ye Chui pointed the iPad camera at Jacob and clicked the [Enchant Xiu Xiu] button on one side of the camera frame. The screen then showed an interface like a game character creator. Ye Chui then said to Posli, “What does the space magic mentor beside the ninth prince look like? Describe him to me.”
Posli did not know what Ye Chui was doing and said with a face full of doubt, “That is a blond man, ear-length short hair, slightly curly…”
As she spoke, Ye Chui tapped twice on the screen. Originally bald Green suddenly had golden ear-length slightly curly short hair on his head.
Everyone was shocked. Green subconsciously touched his hair and asked, “Hair, I grew hair…”
“This is the effect of this magic. I can enchant you with disguise, but maintaining the hair requires you to supply magic power yourself. Of course, the magic power needed should be very minimal.” Ye Chui explained. He continued to Posli, “Keep describing that person’s appearance. I will try to make it as accurate as possible.”
“…” Posli was stunned for half a moment before continuing the description. “That person is a bit fatter than Green. His eyebrows are thicker too. His teeth are slightly yellow… Oh, his skin tone is a bit darker than Green’s. There is a scar on the back of his right hand…”
A few minutes later, Green had completely changed into another person. Even his clothes had fully altered. [Enchant Xiu Xiu] could also change outfits for the other person, of course. Its effect was just a light and shadow illusion. Even if changed, touching with hands would have no texture, and the clothes would provide no warmth.
Posli was full of admiration. “At least eight or nine points similar.”
After Green, Debbie was also disguised by Ye Chui into a golden long-haired summoner with a moustache on both sides. This summoner was named Karl. His most famous summon was a little witch with the ability to purify undead. This was simply prepared for Debbie. Chirp Chirp had just comprehended that light pillar attack method, which could deal great damage to undead and spirits.
Under Ye Chui’s disguise, Chirp Chirp’s clothes and wings turned black. It gained horns and a devil tail. Its appearance was cute with a hint of small evil charm. It itself loved this new image indescribably. It flew around happily, making “Chirp chirp, chirp chirp” sounds.
“Your call is too distinctive. Try not to speak later.” Ye Chui said to Chirp Chirp.
So Chirp Chirp hurriedly covered its mouth and nodded vigorously.
Next was Ye Chui himself. Although he could not use the QR code to scan his own appearance, he could still use [Enchant Xiu Xiu] with the iPad’s front camera. Ye Chui soon turned into a dark-skinned, full-bearded burly man.
[Enchant Xiu Xiu] was very useful, but unfortunately, it could not change voices. Height could not be modified either. Ye Chui could only deliberately rasp his voice when speaking. As for Debbie in female-to-male disguise, she could only try not to speak. The height issue could only be hidden somehow.
With the disguises ready, Ye Chui instructed the others to stay on the flying magic vehicle and wait for support. He carried the Snow Thunder Bird to the hatch and opened it. The flying magic vehicle was still hovering in mid-air. Ye Chui waved to Debbie, Green, and Posli. His hand touched each of them in turn and cast the intermediate gravity magic [Light Body] on them. Then he stepped out.
Wind system beginner magic [Gentle Breeze]
The body weights of Ye Chui, Debbie, Green, and Posli seemed to lighten countless times instantly. Under the gentle breeze, they began to float lightly downward.
“The guild leader really learned my magic!” Jacob, seeing Ye Chui and the others’ figures from the plane, was incredibly surprised. What surprised him more was, “Why did I not think of using gravity magic for flight? The guild leader is indeed the guild leader…”
…
Ye Chui’s group of four, plus Chirp Chirp and the Snow Thunder Bird, landed steadily in the desert.
“Later, pretend you were caught by us by accident. Find a chance to identify the person you were going to contact.” Ye Chui said to the Snow Thunder Bird in his arms.
“Chirp chirp, chirp chirp.” The Snow Thunder Bird called, meaning understood, understood, but that thing called iced fruit plate, I want to keep eating it.
“If we catch that guy, there will be as much iced fruit as you want. Eat as much as you like.” Ye Chui said with a smile. What a little glutton. But he was now completely sure this silly bird was wholeheartedly following him.
The group of four moved forward. Not long after, they saw that oasis.
They had just walked down a sand dune when more than a dozen sand dwellers suddenly rushed out from the side and firmly surrounded them.
These sand dwellers undoubtedly belonged to the Gale tribe. They had been on alert near the sand dune earlier.
“Who are you?” A sand dweller with a long braid hanging straight to his waist shouted as he stepped forward.
The Gale tribe had a peculiar custom. Their hair represented their honour. In duels with others, if victorious, they would cut off a section of the opponent’s braid. So the longer the braid, the higher the strength. This sand dweller’s braid hung to his waist, enough to prove his strength. He might have never lost a battle in his life.
“You, you are Gale sand dwellers?” Ye Chui pretended to be panicked. “We are from the outside world. We mean no harm to you!”
“Hmph, we saw long ago you are from the outside world!” The long-braided sand dweller said contemptuously. “Are you with that Ye Chui?”
“Ye Chui? No, we are guards of other princes.” Ye Chui said hurriedly. “We encountered divine people and wandered in the desert for a long time. You are the Gale tribe. Can we join you?”
“Want to join the Gale tribe?” The long-braided sand dweller sneered arrogantly. “To join the Gale tribe, you must show sufficient strength. From your look, you seem to be a magic mentor? Come, let me test your power. The Gale tribe worships warriors the most. If you gain my recognition, you can join the Gale tribe!”
Clearly, this long-braided sand dweller was a battle enthusiast.
Ye Chui smiled bitterly. But worshipping warriors was quite good. It would let him gain the Gale tribe’s respect better. So Ye Chui nodded. “Alright then. I am the gravity magic mentor Kru. Please give me some pointers.”
The guy Ye Chui disguised as was named Kru.
“I have long wanted to compete with you magic mentors.” The long-braided sand dweller shouted excitedly. He pulled out a huge black wooden stick from his back. The stick was made of unknown wood and looked extremely hard. He roared and charged at Ye Chui.
“Be careful!” Debbie reminded Ye Chui in a low voice. She hid to the side with Green and Posli.
Ye Chui could detect this Kru’s score was 75 points, quite good among sand dwellers. But to Ye Chui, it was not enough. Of course, Ye Chui could only use gravity magic now, which made it a bit challenging.
He hurriedly retreated and used earth system magic to raise a stone wall in front. Gravity was an advanced form of earth system magic, so knowing gravity magic also meant proficiency in earth system.
Crash!
The stone wall was smashed by one stick. The long-braided sand dweller roared and swung the wooden stick in mid-air.
Buzz.
A gale rose, sweeping the great desert and turning into a whirlwind rushing at Ye Chui.
“Wind?” Ye Chui was stunned. Then he thought, the spirit god worshipped by the Gale tribe was the wind spirit god, so tribe members might use some wind system attacks.
The great wind swept Ye Chui in an instant. Ye Chui’s body rose like rootless duckweed with the wind. [Light Body], his weight instantly became lighter than a stone. He shot up high. In mid-air, Ye Chui cast an earth system spell again. The dust in the sky quickly condensed into huge stones under the magic power, falling like meteors and smashing at the sand dweller warrior below.
“Ah!!!” The long-braided sand dweller shouted. He swung his wooden stick to smash those stones. After all meteors were shattered by him, Ye Chui’s figure had vanished from the air.
A hand silently landed on the long-braided sand dweller’s shoulder.
Buzz.
The sand dweller warrior immediately swung the wooden stick backward.
However, the stick that was meant to sweep at waist level hit the ground instead. The force seemed light and powerless.
Ye Chui jumped lightly and easily dodged the sand dweller’s wooden stick.
“What is this? My body feels much heavier suddenly!?” The long-braided sand dweller was full of surprise. Just now, when swinging the wooden stick, he suddenly felt his body become much heavier. His exertion was unsteady, so it hit the ground.
“Double gravity.” Ye Chui explained from the side. This was the gravity magic [Gravity Pull]. It could enhance the gravity of objects Ye Chui touched for a certain time. Jacob had used this spell before.
“Aaah!!!” The sand dweller warrior shouted. Veins bulged on his arms as he continued to attack Ye Chui.
But now under gravity’s influence, he only felt his power extremely heavy, no longer swift as before. Ye Chui dodged nimbly and touched his arm in passing. “Then ten times gravity!”
“Aaah.”
“Still moving? Then twenty times gravity!”
“Aaah.”
“Continue, fifty times gravity!”
“Aaah. Huff, huff, huff…”
Finally, he could not shout anymore.
Under fifty times gravity, the long-braided sand dweller’s actions finally stopped completely. His roars turned to gasps. His body trembled nonstop, as if he might fall at any moment, yet he persisted without collapsing.
Ye Chui shook his head in some admiration. “From your look, you weigh at least two hundred pounds. Under fifty times gravity, that is like carrying ten thousand pounds. Under such pressure, you can still stand without falling. Indeed strong enough. But I advise you to surrender quickly.”
The long-braided sand dweller said with difficulty, “Never, surrender… If you have the skill, remove this magic and fight me fair and square…”
“Stubborn.” Ye Chui shook his head. He saw the long-braided sand dweller gripping the stick with both hands, extending it in front and struggling to lift the wooden stick. So he smiled and said, “Fine, as you wish.”
After speaking, Ye Chui instantly removed the gravity magic.
“Ah!!!” With the body weight suddenly lightening, the long-braided sand dweller immediately roared. His body shot up from the ground. At the same time, the wooden stick he gripped and struggled to lift also, under the uncontrolled force, buzzed and smashed onto his forehead.
The long-braided sand dweller’s body nearly did a backflip and fell face-up onto the sand, fainting.
