The Truth of Magic

Chapter 174 Control Field Counterattack (23)

After seeing the sorcerer fall, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

According to what Antinoya explained, if any of these 20 people were killed or injured, his "Invisibility Ring" and "Fireball Eternal Magic Wand" rewards would be cancelled.

At this moment, Zhao Xu could only hope that the arrow would not hit critically.

After the player gets the character level, the health value will only die when the HP is -10HP, so if there is no damage of more than ten or twenty hits, it is not enough to instantly kill a level 1 mage.

And after that arrow, there were several arrows and several javelins following in the forest, attacking the positions of these mage players on the spot.

After reacting, those novice players retreated angrily on the spot, and retreated towards the rear.

At this time, nearly twenty orange and even some dark red goblins rushed out of the barren bushes.

These goblins were only over one meter tall, and most of them held crude javelins or maces in their hands, and a few of them were dark gray and carried one-handed shields.

These goblins look slightly different from the green-skinned goblins in general fantasy movies, and their eyes are as dull as glass balls.

And the last head of these goblins is a hobgoblin. As a cousin of goblins, it is wearing a blood-red leather armor with black stripes.

Apparently it was the one that took the lead in the arrow just now. The hobgoblin showed its foul-smelling yellow teeth and shouted, "Boys, kill these mages and steal their equipment."

Faced with this urgent scene, the mage players present, especially those with higher physique standing in the front row, hurriedly cast mage armor on themselves, and brought all kinds of toads, ferrets, The Raven Demon Pet also jumped up following Ji Feigou.

It's not that they didn't want to cast it in advance during the journey at the beginning, but that level 1 mages, without raising the level of the caster, the duration of their spells can only last for 1 hour.

Instead of Zhao Xu, which can last for 6 hours, Zhao Xu even has a level 2 spell slot, which can be combined with the "spell delay" specialty to make the "spell armor" last for 24 hours.

At this time, Zhao Xu hurriedly brought his horse close to the corner, and at the same time, the moment the arrow hit the player, he had already taken out a piece of butter from his backpack as a spell material.

Zhao Xu cast a "greasy spell" directly on the route of the goblins on the spot.

After the incantation was finished, the wilderness path full of gravel and dead leaves was immediately covered with a layer of smooth grease.

Immediately, several goblins who were urged to rush by the leader tripped over the thick layer of grease and fell heavily.

The next few goblins followed suit and fell to the ground.

For a moment, more than a dozen goblins who were still full of energy suddenly stopped, and their pupils looked at the place where their companion fell with fear in their pupils, as if there was an invisible strangling trap there.

Although goblins have 10 points of intelligence similar to ordinary humans, they are timid by nature and have never had the instinct to fight in groups. They rely on more powerful creatures to intimidate them in order to maintain a consistent offensive.

After seeing this scene, the hobgoblin who supervised the formation at the end yelled angrily: "It's a greasy spell, rush over, you stupid bastards can't be killed."

Speaking of which, the big goblin also started to wave the long sword in his hand, as if he wanted to pick a few goblins to kill Liwei.

After being threatened by this sound, the few nearby goblins noticed that the ground in front of them was a three-meter-square greasy patch.

After Zhao Xu cast the spell just now, he found that the invisibility on his body had not been cancelled, and he was relieved.

It's just the invisibility of the second-level spell. When trying to cast a spell on the enemy's area, the invisibility effect will be cancelled.

And Zhao Xu just avoided this by casting spells on the road where the goblin was coming.

And the hobgoblin, who only knew the greasy technique, just stared at the retreating novice mages ahead, and did not look in Zhao Xu's direction further away.

There are several types of Arthur's spell distances. Above the contact distance, they are short-range, medium-range, and long-range.

Grease is a short-range spell, and its standard casting range is 7.5 meters. Above this, every 2 levels of the caster can increase the distance by 1.5 meters.

Relying on the level 6 caster level, Zhao Xu could directly cast spells at a distance of 12 meters, otherwise he would have to go a few meters ahead to cast spells.

Otherwise, he could only reach the area where the group of new mages were at the distance he could release the spell, and that would be to kill the allies in the opposite direction.

At this time, except for a few mages in the front row who were hit by javelins during the casting process and caused the spell to fail, the mages in the rear had already regrouped.

According to Wang Ningwei's arrangement at the beginning, after they were attacked, the middle echelon would cast attack spells first.

At this time, Eswig followed suit, passed the retreating first row, and directly released a "Colorful Spray" spell.

Immediately, several goblins fell to the ground after being covered by the rainbow-like cone spell.

The mages in the front row who had cast the "Mage Armor" spell also turned their heads when they saw this scene, raised their wooden sticks and swung them at the fallen goblin.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu also made up his mind. He knew that the battle was basically over.

Originally, the combat power of goblins was not as good as that of ordinary level 1 human fighters, and it was almost the same as that of mages with weak combat power.

In the team, the most dangerous wave was naturally when they were attacked mysteriously just now.

At that time, the group of goblins fought against the group of mages. If these spellcasters failed to release the first wave of spells smoothly, they might be directly caused huge damage.

And Zhao Xu released the "greasy technique" to slow down the novice mages of Mystra for a round.

As long as they survived the raid, they would add up to 40-60 first-level spell slots, and they would naturally be able to wipe out the 20 goblins.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but let out a long breath.

He also began to faintly feel the power of the control spell, just a 3-meter-square greasy spell, can stop these goblins who lack long-range means after throwing the javelin.

If he just took out spider webs as spell materials and used these barren bushes as a fulcrum to cast the "spider web technique", it would be even more difficult for these goblins to move. Killed by the mage.

This is also the characteristic of Master Arthur. The spell is powerful enough, but the spell slot is very limited.

Next, after more than half of the goblins were knocked down, even if that hobgoblin yelled angrily, it couldn't save the remaining dozen or so terrified goblins, who basically fled in all directions.

But Wang Ningwei dissuaded those mages who wanted to chase and kill them, and a group of people turned around and started to clean up the battlefield.

Among them, the maces, leather armor, and javelins of the dead goblins are also the harvest of this battle that is better than nothing.

At this time, after Zhao Xu tied the horse to a place farther away, he slowly approached it with the help of invisibility.

He was indeed more worried about those players who fell to the ground.

He couldn't say later, he had to release a "cure minor wound" spell to lift the other party up.

After being injured, if the health value is lower than 0HP, if you do not receive good medical treatment or your body cannot stabilize the injury, you will continue to lose health, and finally die at -10HP.

This is also the significance of a priest with healing spells for every adventuring party.

At this time, Wang Ningwei leaned over and looked down at the mages who were knocked down by arrows or javelins.

"I have a healing belt that can release healing spells." After confirming that the three novice mages had just passed out, Wang Ningwei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching Wang Ningwei release the spell on his belt from a distance, Zhao Xu was also secretly dumbfounded, as expected, she was also the daughter of destiny.

In the previous life, the small healing artifact "Healing Belt", known as the strongest low-level healing equipment, Wang Ningwei actually had it at this early stage.

This belt is only 750 gold coins, but it has 3 rounds of energy per day, which can consume 2D8 (2-16) HP for one round, 3D8 (3-24) HP for 2 rounds, and 4D8 (3-24) HP for 3 rounds. 4-36) HP healing amount.

The healing amount of 2D8 is already the healing amount of the priest's second-level magic spell "Cure Moderate Injury", but the magic spell can also add an additional healing amount equal to the "caster level".

So Arthur's mages eat by looking at the level of the caster, from the distance of the spell to the effects of various spells.

Naturally, Wang Ningwei chose to heal each of the three fallen people on the spot, which happened to bring them all back from the brink of death.

Luo Lei walked forward and reached out to touch the ground where several goblins had just fallen, but found nothing.

"The 'greasy technique' can be removed by itself." Eswig said standing aside.

Zhao Xu's greasy technique could last for 6 rounds, but after seeing the player counterattack, Zhao Xu naturally canceled the summoned layer of grease, so as not to trip his own people.

"Who released the greasy technique just now?" Luo Lei, who had always been ruthless, asked.

Those who can be selected to study in Mistra have their own IQs online, and their emotional intelligence is not enough to survive.

They also reacted when they heard Luo Lei's words.

At that moment, instead of releasing "Spell Armor" to protect himself, nor releasing "Magic Missile" to attack the goblins, but releasing "Grease" to block the players played a very critical role.

It's just that all the players present were silent.

Standing in the corner, Jiang Shan's throat was a little dry, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to claim the credit.

No one is a fool. He has learned some spells and shared information on the first day.

"It's really amazing, that's our team, and there's still the twenty-first member." Eswig walked slowly to the back of the team at this time.

It's just that in front of her is a messy jungle, and there is no one.

At this moment, Eswig's eyes fell on the gravel ground, trying to analyze something.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, was taken aback by the other party. His invisibility was just to hide his body, and he couldn't hide the presence of his own smell, sound, and touch.

He couldn't help but look down to see if he really left any footprints.

And at this moment, he who was being watched knew that he had better not act rashly, with twenty pairs of eyes looking at this direction.

One is not sure, that is, which mage's scouting skills erupt, and his existence can be detected by that.

It's a pity that these sorcerers in front of them didn't have the magical technique of "detective network", otherwise they would have stacked up to 40 levels of bonuses on their investigative skills, and Zhao Xu would have nowhere to hide.

"Grease technique." Suddenly, Eswig said to where Zhao Xu was in front of him.

Zhao Xu suddenly found that a layer of grease was beginning to appear on the soles of his feet.

He is going to be exposed!
