The Truth of Magic

Chapter 411 No Flying Here

Vivienne just took turns to "detect evil" for all the stone gates, but none of them showed any abnormalities.

So according to the information determined by divination, Zhao Xu and Vivian took a break and decided to enter the stone gate that turned out to be "auspicious".

At this moment, Zhao Xu walked in to watch, and clearly saw several coffins engraved on the carved stone pillars of the door, which made him suspect that there were challenges from undead creatures inside.

However, Zhao Xu had always dealt with the undead creatures the most.

Even the most powerful necromancer in his hand is aimed at undead creatures, so there is no pressure in his heart.

Just like the stone gates he had seen before, the stone gate in front of him was completely tight to the gaps in the surrounding walls, and it was not at all airtight.

In front of the completely closed huge stone door, a deep blue stone slab was re-paved on the ground, which was quite different from the light yellow land next to it, and looked a bit abrupt.

Usually, when you see this kind of stone slab in some narrow passages, it is probably the pedal of the kind of bow and arrow trap, once you step on it, it will activate the switch.

But this time is obviously different.

"I'll try it first," Zhao Xu said.

"President, I have more health points, so I should stand on it?" Vivian dissuaded.

At this moment, her expression was serious, even if she wanted to die for Zhao Xu, she would definitely do it.

"Don't be dumb." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

"If it's really a trap, I'll call out an invisible servant and let him carry a bag of soil to press the floor. It's just the previous maze test, which made me worry that I wouldn't be able to detect something special with the servant, so I'll try it myself .”

With "Secondary Rapid Explosion" + "Teleportation Boots" in his hand, he has an absolute backhand that can definitely escape.

The one who can defeat him in the nick of time will only be another mage who can explode quickly, not this mechanical dead thing.

That's why there is such a miraculous scene where the mage carelessly walks through the trap, and the full-state paladin watches the show behind.

Just to think about it, Zhao Xu still directed Vivian to stand a little farther away.

The general trap, he believed that Vivienne would not have an accident.

But the level here is too high, and he wouldn't be surprised if there was a corpse of a god in it, so Zhao Xu didn't dare to be sure.

After holding the super magic scepter and preparing to cast spells, Zhao Xu stepped directly onto the dark blue stone slab.

Suddenly, the ring-shaped door hall, which had echoes of quiet and quiet speech, suddenly made the sound of mechanical chain gears.

With the slight tremor of the ground, Zhao Xu saw the door in front of him begin to turn.

Turnstiles!

Zhao Xu reacted in an instant, and hurriedly motioned Vivienne to run over from a distance and stand on the bluestone brick next to him.

After Shimen turned 180 degrees, Zhao Xu, who was standing outside, was also brought into the room by the rotation.

"This Shimen design is too deliberate," Zhao Xu complained.

The entire process from beginning to closing lasted a full two minutes.

In other words, the speed was extremely slow. It took at least half a minute for him to wait for the gate to open the gap where he could pass.

"A bit like us." Vivian also commented.

The revolving door means that if they want to escape, they have to wait for the door to open slowly. Once they encounter danger inside and are hunted down, they escape all the way here, and there is no time to wait for the door to open.

Makes sure they can get in without obstacles, but also delays their escape. At the same time, the design of the door body cannot prevent the enemy from opening it.

At this time, Zhao Xu took out an inextinguishable flame torch, and Vivian each took it. Like Zhao Xu inserted directly into the back.

The Eternal Flame Torch is not a real torch, so he doesn't have to hold it mechanically and rigidly in his hand to use it.

It's just that when the torch shone ahead, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. No wonder they felt a strange scorching heat when they first entered.

The place where they stood was a small platform above a cliff, and it would not be a problem for more than ten people to stand there.

There is also a stone bridge that is enough for people to lie flat in the middle, connecting from their end to the opposite side, but the opposite side is too deep and dark to see clearly.

In short, they had to walk across the stone bridge without handrails to the other side.

What's even more frightening is that at the bottom of the cliff, there is continuously boiling and tumbling lava. Their extremely hot temperature, even if a cow is left behind, there may not even be many bones and carcasses to be seen when it is picked up later.

"It's really a big deal. These spaces are layered with barriers, but I don't feel the slightest sense of discomfort when I enter this wooden door." Zhao Xu said with emotion.

Vivienne nodded after observing.

The incomparably empty area in front of him completely occupied the space of the two doors next to it.

It shows that the other two doors can only reorganize the space by themselves.

"But are we really going to go there?"

Vivian said with a hint of distress.

She was wearing a suit of armor, if she fell, he would definitely not be the one to pull her back.

Zhao Xu understood the meaning.

Both of them can fly, and they can reach the other side without following this bridge.

After the mage reached the third ring and mastered flying, some adventures that were blocked by cliffs or difficult to pass through the terrain became a joke.

In other words, it would be embarrassing to have the guts to enter this mysterious building without even the ability to fly.

The question is can it be that simple.

"I'll explore the wind first." Zhao Xu became worried when he came in and saw that there was an easy way to go.

He directly chanted the spell, and after taking out an unlit candle from his bag, he began to wave the spell-casting posture.

Compared with the usual "standard action" casting time, this time Zhao Xu's chanting casting time was close to a full round.

During these 6 seconds, he was casting spells completely passively.

If it was a one-on-one fight, the opponent would never give him such a comfortable time.

In normal mage battles, everyone seized the gap to release "standard action" spells, and even those who were suppressed had "swift action" spells.

He even used the spell instant casting feat to change the standard move to swift.

Therefore, this is also a spell with a completely different direction——

Level 1 Monster Summoning Technique!

For the first time, Antinoya exchanged skeleton soldiers to fight Zhao Xu, and he used spells similar to this.

Monster summoning is a series of spells, from the first ring to the ninth ring, each ring has a summoning list, and the monsters in it can be selected to be summoned.

Generally speaking, they are trans-plane creatures, usually alien creatures, elemental creatures, or magical beasts from other planes.

At the same time, the duration of monster summoning is very short, and it is a round-level spell, but it can be canceled at any time.

Even what was summoned was not a real monster, but a projection similar to Zhao Xu and the others.

At this time, a celestial owl with white feathers stood in front of Zhao Xu, its eyes proudly looking forward.

Among Arthur's owl species, the owl in front of him is the kind that can participate in battle,

The body length is close to tens of centimeters, and the length of the wings and arms is as high as two meters.

At the same time, this one was blessed with a "celestial template", corresponding to the "purgatory creature template" that Zhao Xu had seen before.

The abilities of celestial creatures also change with their own Hit Dice.

The one in front of me has no damage reduction yet, only 5 points of acid, cold, and electric resistance, and also has a daily evil slash.

It's just that none of this can change the fact that the challenge level of the celestial owl in front of him is only a quarter.

That is to say, the projection creature summoned with only one ring of spell slots has close to zero combat power.

And it has to be cast for a full round, and the duration is very short, so the summoning monster spell is a weak spell, and it is difficult to use it unless it is specially optimized.

Including the current Zhao Xu, who summoned the owl from the heavens, but only used it to explore the way to fly.

The owl directly opened its snow-white arms and flew forward with fluttering wings.

Celestial creatures have their own dark vision, which does not affect their ability to see in the dark at all.

It's just that the celestial owl could only fly less than three meters, when suddenly a lightning beam as thick as a bucket pierced the night sky and fell directly from the top of everyone's heads.

In an instant, the heavenly owl disappeared without a trace on the spot.

"Three-ring spell, lightning beam." Zhao Xu grinned helplessly.

Naturally, the owl didn't teleport away, but was killed on the spot by the lightning beam just now.

And their summoned objects are energy projections, so naturally there are no bones left.

It just didn't even have time to utter a scream, a little faster than Zhao Xu expected.

In the past, he also used the Lightning Beam, a 10-60 (10D6) spell whose damage power was similar to that of Fireball, to clear out a large number of mutant scorpions blocking the way in that underground lair.

"This is why flying is prohibited here," Vivienne added.

Zhao Xu nodded with a slightly serious face.

It's all right if you can't fly, but I don't know what punishment and prohibition rules are there.

"Then you follow me, we walk side by side side by side, you look ahead and I look behind," Zhao Xu ordered.

"Yes." Vivienne nodded seriously.

In less than a while, Zhao Xu and Zhao Xu walked forward for about 20 meters, and they still couldn't see the opposite side with the torch in their hands.

"Strange." Zhao Xu couldn't help muttering to himself.

Suddenly, Vivienne stopped suddenly, and turned around as if dancing, protecting Zhao Xu.

At this moment, in front of them, a tall and large construct creature was swinging its arm and smashing it down on Zhao Xu.

Clay Golem!

Immune to magic!
