The Truth of Magic

Chapter 277 Song of the Dead (23)

"Lax, do your artifacts also like to eat spiders?" Zhao Xu asked in confusion.

"Um, I'm suggesting to you, master. Otherwise, it would be too expensive to use the 'flying technique' of the third ring. Master, you only have two spell slots of the third ring now, even if you combine four spell slots of the second ring into one Two third-rings, that adds up to only four third-ring spell slots."

"Master, so are you willing to use it like this now? Or do you want to consume 1 potential point to simulate 'casting without materials'?" Lux said with a hard laugh.

Zhao Xu couldn't help frowning at this moment.

Those potential points that he didn't use up at level 4 will naturally be used up after leveling up to level 5, and there is nothing left.

However, Zhao Xu started at level 5, and the potential points he got were based on 5 points, and he could also get half of the potential points of the level, so Zhao Xu now had 7 potential points at level 5.

As Zhao Xu used the back door of infinite potential points before, he gradually learned more about potential points.

The simplest usage among them was also the result of spending his own potential points to improve the result of the knowledge check when he was in the Forest of Lying Words.

Arthur, for everything that needs to be superimposed on 1-20 levels of performance, such as attacks, saves, skills, and spellcasting checks, you can consume potential points to get an additional 1-6 (1D6) level of improvement.

When Zhao Xu was at level 8, consuming 1 point of potential could increase his level by 2-12 (2D6), and it was expected to be around level 7.

At level 15, 1 point of potential point is to increase the 3-18 (3D6) level, and it is expected to be around 10 levels.

At that time, the power of Zhao Xu's sword after consuming his potential points was equivalent to the performance of an extra level 10 fighter.

But at present, as long as he is willing to consume 1 point of potential, he can save the spell slot of the third ring.

"Master, there is a godhead here, I suggest you better sacrifice yourself." Lacus continued to bewitch.

If he can become a god, even if he eats some kind of excrement, Arthur's team will be endless.

Let alone just a spider.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xu was different.

"Lax, I am also a man who has mastered all the spells of the first to third rings. If there is only one way for a mage to solve a problem, then there is only one reason, that is, he knows too few spells." Zhao Xu said helplessly.

At this time, he was directly close to the wall of the corridor, feeling the ruggedness of the wall and the length of this endless corridor.

"Heh, master, don't you want to use a magic spell to 'keep your feet on the ground'? Although this spell can give you balance, climbing, jumping and rolling, the performance bonus of the four skills can be increased by 10 levels."

"But even if there are some cling points or standing points on the surface of the wall, the climbing difficulty is more than 20 steps, let alone the master, you can't take out the wall nails on the spot to create some clinging points and standing points, otherwise those shadows are not Fool, zombies are not smart enough to use tools to climb walls." Lux slowly blocked the way to climb walls.

And these Zhao Xu knew that if he didn't use wall nails and simply relied on the gaps in the wall made of bricks to climb, the difficulty would be no less than 25 steps. Relying on the 10th level of the "down to earth" spell, coupled with his wall climbing performance of 1-20th level by then, the probability of successfully climbing over the wall is really low.

Fortunately, however, the wall is not completely smooth.

Otherwise, his level of 10,000 climbing skills is useless.

"Lax, there is more than one spell to improve your climbing skills. Remember, spells are varied and varied, which is why mages are so powerful." Zhao Xu said.

"Who said that?" Lux almost scratched her head with a simulated hand.

There are mages who have traveled through the millennium with similar meanings, but the words used are somewhat different from this sentence.

"Oh, mage Zhongxia." Zhao Xu joked.

Then he went into the magic robe that he had sewed several pockets with his hand, took out a small capsule, crushed it directly, a drop of sap flowed into his palm, and Zhao Xu also began to cast spells ——

Yihuan Ranger's unique magical technique "Gecko Swimming on the Wall".

[Adventurer Zhongxia, your climbing skills get a 20-level enhancement bonus, lasting for 5 minutes (1min/level)]

Immediately, a lot of climbing movements began to appear in Zhao Xu's mind, and then his limbs seemed to be equipped with auxiliary mechanical hands. Once there was any wrong posture during his climbing mistakes, this force would immediately help him Get it right.

In just a moment, after the blessing of this spell, Zhao Xu became a master in the "climbing" skill.

The "Gecko Swimming Wall" spell can only be strengthened by level 10 at the beginning, and it will be enhanced by level 20 at level 5, and it will be enhanced by level 30 after level 9. They can all climb without fail.

At this time, with the blessing of level 20 climbing skills, Zhao Xu directly dunked into the gap in the wall with his bare hands and vacated on the spot.

This scene made Lux feel a little dazed, "It's strange, Gecko Walking the Wall is a new spell developed in which year, why didn't I just remember it."

However, when Zhao Xu heard this, his eyebrows moved, which meant that Lacus might not be omnipotent and omniscient in some respects if he hadn't transformed into the corresponding artifact.

It's just that slowly, Zhao Xu has no time to think about it.

After he got up just now, the shadows all turned their heads to look at Zhao Xu, but seeing that Zhao Xu didn't do anything special, they turned around, thinking that the other party just liked special zombies all the time.

The corridor was not very high, so Zhao Xu climbed on the wall, and when he walked across it, he could feel the stench from below at close range.

His feet were less than tens of centimeters away from the body of the ghouls below, which made it even more difficult for him to imagine that if he really squeezed through these ghouls and his robes were covered with pus, How disgusting would it be to him.

"Hmph, master, although you have obtained the blessing of level 20, the key attribute of climbing skills is strength, and you will receive a penalty of level 1 with 8 points of strength, plus the 'disgusting' state caused by the ghost. Master, your climbing skills are now at the 17th level, and if you superimpose the 1-20th level performance, you can pass the wall with a difficulty level of 25, which is just in between." Lacus said angrily, as if for herself Save face.

"No, Lux, you guessed wrong. I was climbing horizontally at this time, not vertically, so I fell down after failing to climb, and collided with a few ghouls. In a few seconds, I can still Climbing again." Zhao Xu said, this is why he would rather use spells to strengthen his climbing skills.

Lux, who was immediately slapped in the face, remained silent.

But that's what Zhao Xu said, if he really wanted to climb the ceiling, he really had to use the "spider walk" spell.

Suddenly, a chill came from behind Zhao Xu, who was having a good time arguing with Lacus. Fortunately, Zhao Xu hadn't changed hands at this time, so he quickly grabbed the wall again.

The shadow that was still blocking the room just now suddenly flew towards the corridor where Zhao Xu was.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately pressed himself against the wall while countless spells flashed through his mind.

Three rings' undead creature hold technique? Can only control three, not applicable.

Erhuan's "derivative vaccine"? He's all dead, there's no use in not allowing himself to become a spawn of Shadow.

Dead dead? This spell, which could destroy the undead, was a pity that it was the sixth ring, so Zhao Xu couldn't use it.

Zhao Xu, who had a flash of spells in his mind, knew that he was very passive at the scene. With only the third ring, he didn't have any final spells.

So he directly made up his mind, ready to let go and fall into the group of ghouls at any time.

In any case, it was better to be disgusted to death by a ghoul than to be sucked to death by a ghost. At this time, hundreds of ghouls were Zhao Xu's greatest protection.

However, the target of those ghosts was not Zhao Xu. Most of them passed him and continued to fly forward, as if there was a power to summon them.

It's just that many of them flew close to Zhao Xu's back as the shadow group rushed over, constantly making Zhao Xu feel the chill and making him grit his teeth.

But in Zhao Xu's heart, there was more doubt about the front.

It's not that these undead creatures are all consciously manipulated by people, then the predicament he will face next is probably too complicated.

At this time, a low, sad and quiet singing sound began to appear in the entire corridor, slowly reaching Zhao Xu's ears.

However, Zhao Xu's ears went numb, and he almost fell to the ground.

Because in Arthur, this song is a "sorrow" for the funeral of the dead.
