The Truth of Magic

Chapter 116 Outside the Cave (2 in 1)

Behind him was a ranger with blue eyes wearing chain armor. The other party was riding a horse and chasing him with anger on his face. The arrow just now came from the longbow in the other party's hand.

Looking at that expression, Zhao Xu already understood that the guard who took off his helmet and was shot just now might have something to do with the person in front of him.

It's just that Zhao Xu couldn't help it. In this kind of thing, there was clearly a grievance and a debtor, so why did he have to chase after him to kill others.

In a blink of an eye, the opponent relied on his legs to control the horse under him, and once again freed his hands to raise the bow and arrow in his hand.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu could only raise his hand and start preparing to release the spell.

He only used two first-level spells today, and the "summon mount" was released by a multi-talented spellcaster.

It's just that Zhao Xu was not on flat ground, and the strong bumps on his mount greatly affected his spellcasting.

It's like sitting alone on a jumping machine, but still maintaining your own demeanor to take pictures.

The horseshoe kept walking on the muddy grass, but Zhao Xu couldn't keep a distance from him at all.

Suddenly, the second arrow flew over again with the sound of piercing through the air.

Zhao Xu was casting a spell, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly dodged defensively, only to find that the arrow was not aimed at him, but landed directly on the summoned mount under him.

Immediately, the horse suffered from pain, and when it leaned over, Zhao Xu's riding skills, which he didn't have any point at all, were directly exposed.

Even if Zhao Xu pulled the reins tightly and clamped the saddle tightly, he still couldn't slow down his tendency to fall and fly.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia conducts a concentration check 4 (level) + 2 (constitution) + D20 = 6 + 6 = 12, which is greater than the save difficulty of 11, and successfully casts the spell. 】

The moment Zhao Xu fell off the horse, his concentration skill was activated again, forcing Zhao Xu to remain in the casting posture.

Zhao Xu's mind was also clear for a moment, and the spell on the bayonet was read out smoothly: "Greasy technique!"

The light of the spell fell directly on the opponent's path.

The ranger who was chasing him on horseback didn't realize that there was a greasy area of ​​three meters by three meters in front of the horse's hoof. look.

It's just that when the horse's hooves stepped into the greasy area, the horse's body immediately lost its sense of balance, and it was thrown to the side, as if a person without anti-skid boots was dancing on the ice.

The ranger in chain armor, like Zhao Xu, fell off his horse on the spot and rolled twice.

Zhao Xu, who fell first, recovered faster due to his high physical attributes. Relying on his willpower, he endured the pain all over his body and barely stood up.

However, he did not release the attack spell again, but directly took out his Ion Stone from his backpack and released it into the air.

Zhao Xu had now discovered the burden of this 36,000 gold coin Ain stone.

Take it with you at ordinary times, his level 2 worth is not worthy of this stone.

It is often urgent to release it when it is needed, and there may not be such a time. After all, it is not as convenient as the necklace that directly blesses a ceremony.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu had already made up his mind to discuss with Antinoya when he went back.

And when the Ion stone was floating above Zhao Xu's head, he had already obtained the power fed back from the Ion stone, which increased his caster level by one level.

Zhao Xu looked at the ranger who was still kneeling on the ground and tried to struggle several times, smiled coldly, and immediately cast the first-level spell "Shield Technique".

He is very clear that these six seconds are a rare time for him, but a first-level spell is actually unable to kill these players who started with high talent points.

Others start with more than a dozen talents, and many times they can only make trade-offs, such as sacrificing physical attributes.

However, no matter whether it was Zhao Xu's damage from magic missiles or light crossbows, it was really not so easy to solve the damage with 8-12 hp in the face of a ranger with D8 life dice.

So he chose the "shield technique" that can also increase the defense shield bonus of Tier 4.

These days, he learns spells whenever he is free, which has already made his first-level spell learning amount in the forefront of most novice mages.

Roja once provided Maple Leaf with a tower shield. As the name suggests, the tower shield is almost as tall as a person, and it can also improve the defense ability of nearly four levels.

The shield technique, on the other hand, can create a force field shield that is completely concealed and the size of a tower shield, hovering in front of the caster.

With the superposition of these two spells, Zhao Xu's defensive ability was as high as level 18, and ordinary people could not penetrate his defensive ability at all.

When the ranger finally stood up with his own strength, he was full of confidence and contemptuously cast a glance at Zhao Xu who was still trying to cast a spell.

He had already recognized Zhao Xu's "mage armor" and the "greasy technique" that knocked his horse down.

At best, Zhao Xu now only had zero-level tricks left to use.

"Die." The ranger roared. There was a "pop" and the bowstring passed by.

I saw the feathered arrow traveling with the wind and flying straight towards Zhao Xu.

Not only was it easier for Zhao Xu to cast spells, but it was also easier for the ranger to shoot arrows after the bumpy horse.

However, before the feathered arrow even got close to Zhao Xu, it broke and fell half a meter in front of him with a dull sound, like a bird hitting a plane over its own strength.

Seeing that the arrow was broken in mid-air, and it was completely smashed on a hard object, the ranger had already understood something, he said in disbelief——

"How is it possible, how can you still release the shield technique!"

"Who are you? You are definitely not an ordinary player."

For a level 1 mage, even with 18 points of intelligence, there are only two level 1 spells. This has become the consensus of the forum.

Zhao Xu also realized at this moment that the ranger in front of him was actually a player.

Sure enough, the player kills the player, that's why he pursues so hard, and dares to come here alone to change his life.

"You can go to the Temple of Creation and ask these questions." Zhao Xu said with a smile. He raised the light crossbow in his hand and pointed it at the ranger.

He has dual elite professions, and has two professional systems of mage and priest at the same time. He has 3 first-level spells as a 2-level mage plus intelligence, and 3 first-level spells as a priest plus domain.

He can also use versatile spellcasters to convert zero-level spells into first-level spells, which can also be exchanged for 3 first-level spell slots.

So Zhao Xu was now able to cast nine first-level spells, four or five times as many as other first-level mages.

"Hehe, although you have blessed the shield technique and mage armor, I know that your shield technique can only last for one minute, and I can kill you in just one minute."

After the ranger knew that there was no hope of killing Zhao Xu immediately, he became patient, pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and looked at Zhao Xu like a prey.

He was ready, no matter which direction Zhao Xu fled, he would keep an eye on him.

"Stupid." After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he let go of the trigger on his fingertips.

At this moment, the power of magic made him see everything in the world like a god possessed.

At this time, the ranger had already raised the small buckler in the other hand, and at the same time, his body dodged to the other side.

Facing a mage who was not good at attacking, he didn't worry at all that the other party could shoot him.

However, that crossbow arrow followed like a shadow, reaching the ranger's heart at the most extreme angle.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, launches a long-range attack, successfully hits after the blessing of "Strike the Enemy", causing 1D8=8 points of damage, and the target falls into a coma and is in a near-death state. 】

It's a pity that after the light crossbow is shot, it has to be reloaded. It's not like a pistol, which can make Zhao Xu play handsome and blow the smoke out of it.

By the time the ranger fired arrows at him again, he had already finished casting another spell, "Strike the Enemy."

This spell can allow him to gain a powerful insight of more than 20 levels in the next round of attacks.

Under the superimposition of this state, Zhao Xu's random blow was like a blow from a level 20 experienced fighter, possessing unpredictable power.

In the current situation where everyone's defense is mostly relying on armor, this "strike the enemy first" spell is enough to make mages stand out from the crowd and really fight whoever they see.

This is also the first time spells have intervened in the field of physical attacks.

If level 1 mages have unlimited level 1 spell slots, then they can also be good shooters who must hit once in two rounds.

Looking at the ranger who was still unconscious, Zhao Xu didn't show any mercy and sent him back to the Temple of Creation.

Now players are killed because of their own projections, just like the demise of those creatures summoned by the magic system, and it is not really killed.

So Zhao Xu's camp was not very skewed, let alone that the other party had a deep killing intent towards him from the beginning.

After finishing all this, Zhao Xu couldn't be happy.

Looking at the signal smoke rising in the distance, he understood that he appeared at that ingenious timing, and he was definitely considered one of the gangs that stormed the checkpoint.

As long as he dares to stand up again, he will definitely be hit by a set of combined iron fists, and he will not be given a chance to explain half a point. "

In the next two days, Zhao Xu had no choice but to learn the strategy of day and night.

During the period, he was chased and killed by a raging bear that kept preying at night, which made him feel embarrassed all night.

But in the end, Zhao Xu finally approached North Carolina after spending two days.

And North Carolina is far away from the two cities of Kaso and Butan, and it is a powder keg for him, and he dare not approach it easily.

These days, although Zhao Xu didn't invest in survival skills, he couldn't rely on survival skills to point to food.

But they couldn't help that the earth adventurers didn't have to eat, so Zhao Xu didn't have much pressure to live even though he was living on the edge of the Nanyu forest like a savage.

After Zhao Xu extinguished a bonfire in the cave, he was ready to start again.

These days, the entire South Islet Forest has been raining continuously. Even if he can dry clothes with his own magical tricks, he can't help but consume them like this.

This time, Zhao Xu still picked some firewood and put it in a convenience bag. Once the rainstorm hit him, he would directly set up a bonfire to dry it, and set off again when the rainstorm stopped.

But when he approached the cave, the sky outside was still dark, as if a bigger rainstorm was brewing.

It made Zhao Xu a little confused whether to wait or just move on.

However, he thought that the city of North Carolina was close at hand, and thought that he would be able to return to Floating Void City today to find out how strong the legendary archivist was.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and his legs walked out of the hole briskly.

But the moment Zhao Xu stepped out of the cave, his face immediately darkened, as frosty as ice.

The most iconic thing in Nanyu Forest was the lush and towering ancient trees everywhere, but now what Zhao Xu saw was the backbone of the Tianbei Business Alliance - more than two hundred heavy cavalry, standing Standing, showing off.

No one thought that a cavalry could quietly hunt around the entrance of the cave without making too much noise.

But what really worried Zhao Xu was.

His companions these days also appear here, as prisoners.

The entire caravan, including more than 50 Rojas, were escorted to kneel down on the ground, facing him, looking sluggish.

And the few people headed by Roja were even more miserable. They were directly hung on the wooden frame, and their lives and deaths were unknown with scars.

The pride of the spellcaster made Zhao Xu feel uneasy even in the face of a 200-man cavalry company.

The young man in expensive silk in front of him was obviously the leader of the team, and beside him stood a few mages in magic robes. They didn't look too high, but they were enough for Zhao Xu to drink a pot.

Zhao Xu knew that the visitor was not kind, but the other party surrounded and killed him without saying a word, which meant that we could still talk.

He immediately took out the certificate issued by the Crescent Town Mage Association from his backpack.

"Boom." At this time, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, indicating that the real heavy rain, which had been suppressed for several days, seemed to be coming.

"Mr. Zhongxia, let me introduce myself first. Tianbei Business League, Tucker, is the ninth elder who will take office soon."

Now the other elders of the Tianbei Business Alliance, the youngest are all his uncles.

"What advice do you have?" Zhao Xu said. He was about to hand over the blue seal certificate in his hand, but he couldn't help but stop after listening.

"I don't have any advice, but I heard from your former companions that you once obtained something from a wizard in that mine?" said the proud young Tucker.

Zhao Xu's heart sank.

At that time, he didn't hide the fact that Master Lane gave him a booklet, because he couldn't be sure that everyone didn't see the scene where Master Lane gave him something.

The force field prison was completely transparent, and Zhao Xu thought that since everyone didn't know that it involved secret treasures, he finally entrusted it with the name of a book of spell experience.

"Hehe, don't be nervous." Tucker, the young man in Chinese clothes, seemed to see Zhao Xu's face, he laughed and said in relief: "This Roja team leader is really amazing, he endured many tortures, and he didn't confide in him." experience in the mines.

"It's just that his fellow wanderer Locke lacks this kind of perseverance, and he confided in everything. So, I think you give me that pamphlet, then I'll put these people back to you, but The goods can only be regarded as your sincerity to me."

"Do you think I'm kind enough?" Tucker, a young man in Chinese clothes, bared his teeth and said with satisfaction.

"It's beautiful to think about." Zhao Xu smiled.

Today, the two chapters are combined and released, and there will be more shelves at 12 o'clock tonight.
