The Truth of Magic

Chapter 157 Super Large Fire Element (22)

Although Zhao Xu didn't know how the primitive casters of the dark era offended the elemental gods.

But now his situation is more delicate.

Antinoya told him at the beginning that in this dark era, a mage like him with second-level spells was considered invincible.

It is mainly because there are still relatively few human professionals at this time. At the same time, there are fewer spellcasters at this time, so naturally there are fewer means to target spellcasters.

If Zhao Xu hadn't been hindered by the oracle of Vulcan, the villagers would have enshrined him as a great existence as long as Zhao Xu cast a second-level spell to make himself invisible.

In the Dark Era, most of the messengers of the gods were the most primitive sacrifices. They obtain power by sacrificing to the gods, and they haven't reached the point where the priests' magic and advancement are complete in the future.

Even many remote tribal villages directly worship nature spirits as gods.

Zhao Xu had been thinking about the fire element when he followed the map in the letter to the Morin stele.

When Antinoya asked him to choose the third method, he provided a "fire elemental brazier" magic equipment.

As long as the brazier is lit, it is equivalent to casting a "sixth-level monster summoning technique" to summon a large fire element.

As an elemental creature, the fire element is divided into small, medium, large, super large, giant and then elder type according to its strength.

On top of this, is the Prince of Elements who stepped into the realm of legend.

As a warrior, Zhao Xu hated the fire element very much, so it was hard to fight, and there was nothing to drop when he killed it.

After killing animals and the like, people can also skin them and cramp them, dismantle them and sell them for parts.

As for whether the Vulcan prince became a god, Zhao Xu didn't know.

He realized that the era before ten thousand years ago failed a series of knowledge checks.

Out of prudence, Zhao Xu chose the simplest questions, but he still failed all the time, as if he was separated from the source of knowledge.

This also made him realize for the first time that he had traveled back to the past.

Otherwise, there seemed to be no abnormal scene at all around, making him almost think that he was just teleported to another mysterious place.

Zhao Xu compared the map in his mind with the route on the letter, and sneaked into the deep mountains step by step, which was also the direction for the people in the village to retreat.

The part of the map in his mind about the Morin stele was completely blank, obviously the spell hadn't been reproduced. This was also the reason why Zhao Xu couldn't find the location of the stele when he looked at the map created by the "earth vein detection" spell.

It's just that as Zhao Xu went deeper, he felt that the air in front of him was extremely hot.

He was already shrouded in a "tolerate environment" spell that could adjust the temperature range of almost hundreds of degrees, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Now he was walking on the gravel ground in the mountains, not only the stones were scorching hot, but some dead leaves were already smoking.

So Zhao Xu was also a little surprised that there was no fire in this mountain forest.

It was as if all the power had been drawn away.

After Zhao Xu turned over a boulder, he found that where the stream used to be in front of him, there was only a dry river bed left, and even the mud at the bottom had lost its moisture and turned into hard lumps.

When Zhao Xu stepped on the river bed and waded across, the mud clods dried up and cracked unbearably.

How did the villagers live in such an environment?

Zhao Xu couldn't help thinking this way.

Finally, when Zhao Xu was about to approach the stele on the map, he began to slow down.

All kinds of incongruities gave Zhao Xu a bad feeling.

He glanced at his 18hp HP, and out of prudence, he took out a bottle of alcohol and painted special marks on several key parts of his body.

Then he began to chant the incantation of the second-level spell "False Life".

After he finished casting the spell, the spell slot that was free in his mind immediately released energy, and the alcohol that had not yet evaporated from Zhao Xu's body disappeared into his body in an instant.

Suddenly, an invisible vitality gushed out.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast a false life spell, and you will get an additional 1D10 (1-10) + 4 (caster level) = 7 + 4 = 11HP, which lasts for 4 hours. 】

Zhao Xu's health immediately soared from 18 hp to 29 hp.

Just such an ordinary second-level spell made his HP no less than that of fighters and barbarians of the same level.

After making sure that he could survive a wave of raids, Zhao Xu also regained some confidence. After all, life is the courage of a person.

After passing through a pile of chaotic rocks, Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly opened up. In front of him was a stone tablet nearly three people tall and in the shape of a spire, standing in a large open space.

The dirt on the ground was still new and had obviously just been turned over.

A man covered in oil paint, hung with a string of animal bone ornaments but wrapped in a thick felt, was kneeling in front of the stone tablet and praying.

Even though the air is now filled with all kinds of scorching sulfur smells, it still can't hide a faint smell of blood.

Zhao Xu looked solemn, looked at the kneeling priest and said, "Where are those villagers?"

At this time, he had no time to pay attention to the completely blank Morin stele.

But the priest stood up, his face had two huge scars, which fell directly on the cheekbones, showing an indescribably ferocious feeling.

"Oh? It doesn't feel like a villager here." The priest said indifferently, looking at Zhao Xu like a butcher.

"It's strange, I remember someone shooting and killing the fleeing villagers, how can you still get close to this place?"

Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed slightly.

It turned out that the three people who attacked him at the beginning didn't do it just because he was a spellcaster.

But cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at the mud in front of him.

"You really are a smart man. I remember that a villager kept calling his son's name before he died. Could it be you?" The priest laughed softly. "They are all honored to sleep under the ground. my lord."

"Law: Pain."

Zhao Xu raised his hand and shouted at the priest in front of him, reciting a spell.

Immediately, a jet of black spell energy flew towards the priest, and instantly fell into the opponent's body.

The priest trembled all over, and then vomited blood, but he looked at Zhao Xu with a cruel face, and shouted, "Do you only have this ability?"

Zhao Xu looked at each other coldly.

After copying all the spells in the final scroll space, he is no longer the rookie who can't decide the magic missile.

Even if it is the lowest level of first-level spells, he can pick out the most powerful ones to release.

Law: Pain, the spell that can theoretically cause the most damage in the first-level arcane.

It is only effective against living creatures with no more than 100 HP, and it only deals 1D6 (1-6) damage per round, which is about the same as an ordinary arrow.

But it's strong enough to last for many rounds. The life value of the priest in front of him will certainly not exceed 50HP, and he will suffer 4D4 (4-16) rounds of damage.

Zhao Xu looked at the data on his dynamic information, and the test result was 10 rounds.

That is to say, even if the opponent can survive for ten rounds (1 minute), they will still suffer 10-60HP, the theoretical expectation is 35HP damage.

Basically, for low-level characters, this amount of damage is a must.

And when the priest felt the second injury from his body six seconds later, his expression finally changed.

"You evil wizard, what kind of witchcraft are you casting?" the priest shouted.

He found that the dusty man in front of him was different from those wizards he had encountered before. He didn't understand why the other party had such powerful witchcraft?

"Go down and ask your god," Zhao Xu said.

"I curse you." The priest immediately took out a knife and cut his palm angrily, chanting curse words at Zhao Xu.

Suddenly, waves of heat hit Zhao Xu, and the ashes on the ground began to ignite again.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, your "endure the environment" spell has expired. 】

"Great master Anthodelles, your servant begs you to come." The priest suddenly shouted, and at the same time slashed his arm again, trying to increase the power of the sacrifice.

Suddenly, a huge wave of fire erupted directly into the sky from the calm underground.

In the end, a super-large fire element walked out of the flames. It turned its head and looked contemptuously at the priest kneeling behind him, and ordered: "Remember to make up the sacrifice for me when you look back."

The priest quickly knelt down and said, "I will definitely offer it again, definitely."

After getting the answer, the super-large fire element turned to look at Zhao Xu with a disdainful expression, "It's you, an ant, who disturbs my peace?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help raising his head and looked at the super large fire element, which was almost ten meters high, surpassing most of the dead trees in the deep mountains.

This kind of super-large fire element with an average life value of 133HP at level 7 of the challenge level is indeed not something a level 3 mage like him can handle.

This super-large fire element comes from the Fire Elemental Plane, and is the oldest and most authentic creature on the Fire Elemental Plane.

And when they came to Arthur, they naturally became transplanetary creatures.

Earthlings like Zhao Xu came to Arthur and were classified as aliens.

Zhao Xu once dared to go down to the cave, and he was not afraid to see the purgatory language.

It is because even if demons appear, they are alien creatures in Arthur.

These creatures from other worlds will be bound by the power of Arthur, the main material plane.

Holding the protective staff in his hand, Zhao Xu said to the super-large fire element in front of him, "Go back."

Expulsion!

In the next month, there will be 3 updates guaranteed on odd-numbered days, and 2 updates guaranteed on even-numbered days. On average, 8k guaranteed updates per day will remain unchanged.

Even-numbered days will be arranged to add rewards and apologies, just like today, otherwise Riwan would really not be able to pay back what he owes, let alone asking for a monthly ticket, sorry.
