The Truth of Magic

Chapter 390 Passers-by Attacked

After Zhao Xu heard the strange noise, he and Vivienne looked at each other, knowing something was wrong.

They knew right away that it wasn't an earthquake.

It was a monster that was extremely solid and heavy, and it caused a shock when it hit the ground heavily.

At this time, Zhao Xu was already covered with long-lasting "advanced mage armor" and other spells, and he already had enough defense in terms of physical damage.

Thinking of this, he immediately cast a three-ring spell "Insight into Warfare" that was only recently consolidated.

Because this spell can be dispelled at any time, it does not satisfy the "durable" feature, so he just let himself suffer 1 point of attribute damage, and used the "super magic control" ability to match this spell with the "spell delay". time" expertise.

Although there are many choices of spells that satisfy the persistence of spells, Zhao Xu considered the practicality and limited spells, so he usually only had a few commonly used persistent spells on him.

Most of them focus on defense, which is in line with his philosophy of living first and then seeking to counterattack.

However, because the "sacrifice of the body" spell could raise his caster level to level 12 (arcane) and level 11 (divine), Zhao Xu usually used it for a long time.

The duration is 10 minutes per level of "insight into tactics" coupled with Zhao Xu's caster level, naturally it is 120 minutes** 2 hours.

Combined with the "Spell Delay" feat that can be doubled by upgrading one ring, it suddenly becomes 4 hours. Although it is not as exaggerated as 24 hours, it is enough to cover tonight's battle.

This spell can be said to be a normal spell in spell warfare.

On the one hand, the duration of insight into tactics can increase his spell recognition skill by 5th-level environment bonus.

At the same time, after his own spell recognition level exceeds the fifth skill level, he can also automatically sense whether there is a spell within 30 meters, and he is born with a spell radar sensor.

From then on, he got rid of the restrictions of "visual" and "auditory" judgments on casting spells.

If he and the caster have a line of visual effect, he can also use Spellcraft to determine the spell.

But what really determines the key position of this spell is that during the duration of the spell, Zhao Xu can instantly consume all the abilities of "insight into tactics", just like his god's step consumes energy to launch a super long-distance walk.

In exchange for a free "counter-spell", even if there is no visual effect line.

Free casting means that he doesn't need to waste the "casting time" needed to counter spells.

Zhao Xu, who was a versatile spellcaster, was equivalent to spells below the third ring, and he could cast the same spells to counter them.

Therefore, within the duration of the spell, no caster within 30 meters can silently cast spells to attack him.

At the same time, the spells within the third ring will be countered by him, canceling the spells cast by the opponent.

So after applying this layer of insight tactics, Zhao Xu also gained the ability to target spellcasters. He was no longer able to detect the arrival of spells with his naked eyes as before.

Although Vivienne was taking off her armor just now, fortunately she just took off a small part of her full body armor, and immediately put it back on urgently with Zhao Xu's simple cooperation.

The two immediately walked out of the tent to the outside world.

Out of precaution, Vivian patted the floating mirror Yingdun beside her simultaneously.

In an instant, the surface was processed extremely smooth, and the shield, which could be used as a mirror, was suspended in the air like this, covering Vivienne's body.

Relying on the "floating" ability with a value of "+2", this shield freed Vivienne from her hands, allowing her to hold the "Holy Avenger" with all her strength.

Two-handed holding is more capable of exerting the damage increase in strength, which is half as high as that of one-handed.

So many times, soldiers have to weigh whether to improve the defense with a shield, or directly hold military weapons with both hands in pursuit of higher damage output.

"It's really big enough."

At this moment, Zhao Xu walked outside the tent and immediately understood what had just happened.

Under the hillside where their boulder is located, on the route close to the fleeing army, there is a super giant mutant scorpion and another super giant mutant spider fighting deadlockedly. The dull and loud noise just now is their fight sent out.

The typical characteristic of these insect creatures is that they have no intelligence attribute, not zero.

They hunt and attack nearby creatures instinctively.

"They've all climbed to their respective ceilings. It's strange that they are still fighting so hard." Zhao Xu said in surprise.

Mutant scorpions and mutant spiders were originally "ultra-small" with a challenge level of only a quarter.

It wasn't until they crossed the six body size levels that they evolved from the ultra-small one-half Hit Dice to the point where they were close to 32HD (Hit Dice) and 40HD super-giant.

Zhao Xu climbed to level 32 above legend, which was just 32 hd.

And Vivienne next to him also has 6 HD of the original succubus at this moment, and 3 levels of paladins are superimposed on the back, so it is only 9 HD.

It can be said that these challenge levels are super giant mutant spiders and mutant scorpions around level 11, and they all have hundreds of health points.

"President, can I save them?"

Vivienne asked at this time, and she immediately saw the suffering and howling civilians.

The two battling giant mutant spiders and mutant scorpions at the foot of the hill were staring at each other at this moment, looking for an opportunity to break through and attack.

Although their target is not the fleeing crowd, but their own weight is more than 10 tons, coupled with their own 20-meter-long body, any movement that is too large will crush the surrounding trees and branches, and even a trampling will break them. Shi Feijuan.

Even if Zhao Xuchu took a quick look, no less than a dozen innocent civilians were injured and fell to the ground screaming.

However, more civilians screamed and dragged their limited belongings to a distance, while holding the hands of their family members and companions to escape.

It's just that their forward pace is of little significance compared with these super giant creatures.

And the caravan that has recruited adventurers and has the ability to counterattack can only let the adventurers hired first transfer the cargo and property full of cars.

Even if they wanted to fight back, they were powerless.

Two monsters with a challenge level of 11 are no longer something ordinary teams can deal with.

Even if a large town encounters it, if there are no high-level adventurers, it will have to send a large number of soldiers to form a battle formation to resist.

Naturally, the current crowd of refugees cannot do this.

Among the civilians, those who saw themselves being accidentally injured by those two super-giant mutant insects all cried bitterly and waved their hands, calling for help endlessly.

It's just that they can barely kill ultra-small mutant insects with their weapons.

But these super-giant creatures are like walking seven or eight-story buildings, just standing there, they have the aura of intimidating mountains and rivers.

Although they don't have the natural "violent momentum" ability of giant dragons, their breath is enough to make a group of civilians whose weapons are only branches and sticks tremble with fear.

At this moment, Zhao Xu heard Vivienne's request.

This is also her camp requirement.

If you don't do what is right, you are not a paladin.

Just protecting Zhao Xu was a higher-level belief in her mind, and even this belief directly suppressed her instinctive impulse to attack.

Zhao Xu didn't intend to stop him, he said directly to Vivian, "Go."

After Vivienne smiled lightly, she looked directly into the distance, and luxuriously activated her magic-like ability, the seven-ring spell "Advanced Teleportation", which was also an error-free teleportation.

She used this spell that can span thousands of miles in an instant, and only changed her position within a kilometer, appearing in the battlefield below.

For mages, most of them use "any door" spells for such short distances.

At this moment, Zhao Xu raised his head and looked into the deep night.

After crossing in the previous life, the whole people naturally encountered most of this kind of crisis. There are too many monsters dormant in the jungle.

Even if the temple has sent priests to protect it, for the seven billion human beings, it is completely a drop in the bucket.

Naturally, many innocent civilians on earth have become the rations of monsters.

They come and go like the wind, constantly looting.

This is what Zhao Xuri needs to consider in the future.

At that time, only Arthur players could stand up to protect the civilians on the earth, but although there were quite a few of them, the tens of millions of them could not be evened out.

Therefore, players can only organize and work together to protect their loved ones first.

No matter how kind and loving the pastor is, he can't stop this tendency to protect his loved ones.

It was also at that time that the "consensus" of the players became the "order" of the people on New Earth.

The powerful class, under the attacks of these countless monsters, slowly completed the alternation.

No matter how much wealth there is on the earth, after coming to Arthur with nothing, even if his own clan is powerful and able to organize a crowd of militias, it is still not enough for these super giant monsters to swallow.

Only players of the same high level can stop them.

Thousands of soldiers are not as good as one general, which is the truth that the common people of the earth have learned with their blood.

And the moment Vivian completed the advanced teleportation technique, she had already appeared in the center of the two super giant insects.

Seeing the appearance of this powerful paladin in silver light armor, the nearby civilians couldn't help cheering.

Her sword is really amazing, and everyone is looking forward to it.
