The Truth of Magic

Chapter 276 Undead Creatures (13)

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Xu didn't even think about it, and directly cast the second-ring spell "Shroud of Immortality".

As a dappled white light bathed his body, Zhao Xu's face turned pale for an instant, and then returned to normal rosiness.

It's just that at this time, he has already re-plated the "appearance" of an "undead creature".

For undead creatures, he is the same kind.

Because Zhao Xu saw a pale figure nearly two meters high in the front, floating in the air, but its appearance was quite different from that of a ghost or even a bound spirit.

"It's 'Shadow'." Lux blurted out at this moment.

"Sooner or later, because of this demiplane of death, I'll wipe out all the undead creatures," Zhao Xu complained.

Although he didn't know what creature was in front of him, but the intuition just now made him decisively release the spell first, and disguise himself as the same undead creature.

"A ghost is a medium-sized incorporeal undead creature. The incorporeal creature is the kind of 'ghost' you have encountered before, master. But the ghost specifically refers to the undead creature in front of you. The 'ghost' is a template , After any creature dies, if it has lingering grievances and its soul is infected by negative energy, it will become a ghost. Ghosts are more like skeletons, zombies, and ghouls, which are deterministic undead creatures."

Lux continued to explain, "The shadow itself has the supernatural ability to 'spawn'. Once a humanoid creature is injured and killed by the opponent, it will become a similar 'shadow'."

Looking at the shadow in front of him, Zhao Xu thought to himself, these creatures are similar to the "fear chestnut binding spirit" he encountered before. If they are killed by the other party, they will become the other party's offspring and become a new "binding spirit". spirit".

However, these "ghosts" and "bound spirits" are all the same data panel, and they will not inherit the power of their previous lives, so they will not have an unpredictable upper limit like "ghosts".

And this ability to create spinoffs is also a difficult point for these undead creatures.

Like Zhao Xu's "blood oath" with the "family command technique", once the subject dies, he will become an undead creature.

Among them, the effect is equivalent to the spell of "evoking undead" by the sixth ring, which can summon ghouls (level 11-), ghosts (level 12-14), mummies (level 15-17), and demon souls according to the level of the caster. Corpse (level 18+), etc.

Among them, Zhao Xu's spellcaster level corresponds to the "Devil Soul Corpse" with a challenge level of level 8.

It also has the function of creating spawn, so if that scene really continues, that castle will become a paradise for "devil soul corpses".

Seeing the "shadow" standing at the end of the corridor ahead, Zhao Xu judged the situation on the spot.

"Does this shadow cause strength or physical damage?" Zhao Xu asked.

He has the assistance of Lacus, so he doesn't need to use his own knowledge and skills to search.

"1-6 (1D6) points of strength damage. The prerequisite for becoming a shadow spawn is to be damaged by the opponent's strength attribute until it returns to zero." Lux said.

At this moment, Zhao Xu glanced at his character card with only 8 strength, and couldn't help shaking his head. Fortunately, he had already disguised himself as an undead creature.

"How's your intelligence?" Zhao Xu then asked.

"Challenge Level 3 'Shadow' and Level 8 'Advanced Shadow' are around 6 intelligence. Among them, the damage of 'Advanced Shadow' power is 1-8 points, except that various conditions are better, such as life from 19HP Beyond the expectation of 58HP, the high-level shadow also has certain tactics.”

Hearing that Zhao Xu wanted to do something, Lux immediately fed back everything she knew.

Zhao Xu also reassessed it. Without the support of magic items, he couldn't actually make waves.

When he first came in, Lux was hiding in the bones in his body, so she escaped the effect of the "Mage Splitting Technique".

It's the same as the "Mage Disintegration Technique" of the archmage Frank in the treasure house of Falling Star Town that he could block by erecting a stone wall before.

And Zhao Xu used the Book of Ten Thousand Laws to simulate for himself before, setting six trigger conditions to escape from the nine-ring "instant shelter" to other places, and the six-ring "gem jump" spell that sent instructions to the gem storage place, because Pointing to himself.

So the power of spells is stored in him.

Naturally, when he came in, he was immediately dispelled by the "Mage Splitting Technique", so Zhao Xu didn't feel bad if he didn't give it to Zhao Xu, and he could make it up at will in the future.

The other nine-ring "escape technique", which was sent home after crushing the gem, was able to survive because the magic power was stored in the "gem".

It's just that this demiplane suppresses the effects of all spells with a caster level above level 5, so it's useless for Zhao Xu to bring it in his mouth, and he also entrusted it to Antinoya.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu frowned deeply.

The half-plane of the god of death in front of him was taken over by the "artificial god of death" to "control the plane".

This world is equivalent to allowing the other party to manipulate it, and naturally the "magic net" that has been integrated into the attributes of the plane is also affected by it.

This is also the reason why the Mage Association did not dare to take advantage of the loopholes, and shrunk down some magic items whose caster level was lower than level five and put them in capsules for him to bring in in his mouth.

Too jumpy, and will only be targeted on this demiplane.

At this moment, after Zhao Xu thought about it clearly, he also let go of the idea of ​​attacking and walked directly towards the front of the corridor.

Although his "Undead Shroud" is ten minutes per level, it can last for 50 minutes. However, it may not be useful here, so you still have to hurry up.

On the one hand, it is to save people, lest Wang Ningwei and Aisweixi really fall here.

On the one hand, it is also to see the legendary "Reaper Godhead Fragment".

After Zhao Xu was infected by the divine power of the abyss, his intelligence was synchronized with the data in the game.

This also made him look forward to what abilities he would synchronize with when he came into contact with the real power of the god of death.

As Zhao Xu approached, the situation at the end of the intersection became clearer.

The front end is not blocked, but a three-way intersection, you can go left or right.

"There are too many undead creatures, right?" Lux couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.

Even the waves in Zhao Xu's heart echoed Lacus' words.

As far as he was able to see, he could see that the corners on both sides of the Sanchakou were densely packed with no fewer than twenty shadows.

They were floating in mid-air, and those who didn't know it thought they were white corpses that had been hanged, revealing a strange sense of fear.

And some of the shadows seem to be thicker in shape, and the negative energy fluctuations are stronger. I am afraid they are high-level shadows. They are also the only ones walking around actively in the field, scanning with their red pupils. Everything on site.

With such a number, as long as two "shadows" shot at Zhao Xu at the same time, he might turn into a spawn on the spot.

At this time, Zhao Xu's original "fireball technique" that cleared the field disappeared without a trace. There were hundreds of shadows crowded here, and his fireball technique had a half chance of killing the opponent.

But these high-level shadows exceeded his current upper limit of spell damage.

I had no choice but to pretend to be like a zombie, step by step, looking for the gaps in these shadows to pass through.

Arthur's game, for Zhao Xu, instantly became a single-player horror game.

When he squeezed past two shadows sideways, these shadows were flying in mid-air, and Zhao Xu's height reached the position of the opponent's legs, but the shadows themselves were faintly visible and slightly moving, accompanied by paleness There was a gloomy atmosphere, and the body kept passing by before his eyes.

A few times, the feet of these shadowy "ghosts" in the earth brushed against Zhao Xu's nose, almost making him itchy and sneezing.

"Can they withstand this kind of pressure?" Zhao Xu couldn't help being surprised, but also somewhat sympathetic to the other party.

At this time, Zhao Xu also discovered that what he thought was the end just now was actually a transitional room blocked by a huge solid column in the middle. After going around, it was still a straight corridor several meters wide, but there was nothing behind it. Without light, everything is in darkness.

At this time, Zhao Xu cast an hour-level second-level spell "Dark Vision" on himself that could last for a full five hours.

But after seeing the details in front of him, he stopped in his tracks.

Originally, he thought that looking for the portal key in the bone square in the pit was disgusting enough.

At this moment, in front of his eyes, there were hundreds of ghouls gnawing on the ground, and hundreds of them crowded the road ahead.

"It's disgusting, master, I'll sleep for a while, and call me after you pass." Lux said immediately.

At this time, the ghouls were emitting a stench, as if it was the smell of the corpses of the plague after they were rapidly decomposing.

Zhao Xu once used the "Winter of Fenbull" nine-ring spell to stop the corruption of corpses in front of "Falling Star Lake", but he didn't expect to have to face this situation again.

Even in the underground temple, the ghouls that escaped from the kitchen that had been sealed off for countless years were not as strong as the stench emitted by the gathering of hundreds of ghouls at this moment.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you were affected by the "stink" and failed your save, and fell into a "disgusting" state. Your attack, damage, save, skill, and attribute checks have a -2 penalty for 8 minutes (1D6+4). 】

In an instant, a reminder popped up directly, making Zhao Xu immediately on high alert, and his whole body was on the verge of firing.

He wasn't shocked by the negative state he suffered, but this ghoul didn't have this ability!

Facing this unknown situation, Zhao Xu tried to retreat, but immediately there was a colder chill behind him, and he hit the "shadow".

In this narrow space, he has no room to move.

"Master, this is the ability of ghosts. They are just small ghouls." Lux felt Zhao Xu's negative state at this moment, woke up instantly, and reminded him immediately.

Hearing that this was the ability of a ghost, Zhao Xu didn't panic anymore.

The unknown is the mage's greatest fear.

Whether it was a challenge level 1 ghoul or a challenge level 3 ghost, it was still a threat to the outside level 1 players, but to Zhao Xu, who was already level 5 at this time, it was actually just an upgrade energy.

The only thing that gave him a headache was, did he have to bear the nausea and squeeze these ghouls away?

Seeing the bubbling pus from those ghouls, Zhao Xu felt that he was a little too full for breakfast.

Then he is too unstructured as a mage.

"Master, there is a way. Now we eat a spider, we can cast the 'spider walk', and then we can crawl along the wall, so we won't touch these ghouls." Lacus looked expectant. Said.
