The Truth of Magic

Chapter 74 The Power of Nature

"Brother Fengye, what's the matter?" Yoyo looked around, only to find that the attendants escorting the caravan were also very nervous.

"Maybe there is some obstacle ahead, Yoyo, you don't have magical skills to hide first." Warrior Maple Leaf first began to arrange the positions of the other three team members.

The players were just inexperienced, and they weren't stupid. Basically, after almost a month, they had some basic combat knowledge, and there was no need for Zhao Xu to introduce their positions.

Zhao Xu gently pushed aside the backpack, touched the mark on his back, and relaxed a little to make sure it was still there.

Among the three trump cards that Antinoya gave him, one was directly attached to his back.

Once he has an accident or starts it by himself, it will be triggered.

As long as he doesn't use the resurrection stones for these three trump cards, the remaining ones will become part of his rewards.

So every time Zhao Xu used it, he was overdrafting future rewards in advance.

However, Zhao Xu was very confident that as long as he didn't get knocked out in an instant, at least 250 minutes would be enough for him to deal with most situations when he activated the trump card behind his back.

His deepest impression of this mark was that Antinoya spent the cost of a legendary spell to directly speed up the production cycle from 23 days to 23 minutes.

This is just to speed up the time, and does not involve the materials and expertise required for the production itself.

Antinoya, who locked his physical condition, naturally had no effect, but Zhao Xu knew that his character must have shortened his lifespan by 23 days for no reason.

Thinking of being able to fight for eternal life in the future, he doesn't care about the price, otherwise it would be too stupid to wait half a month for this mark.

"Great forest guardian, we have no intention of offending, please allow us to pass through, this is our treasure." At this moment, Roja in front finally shouted.

His voice echoed around the entire forest, and several attendants hurried over with the boxes they had prepared.

"Warder of the forest?" the rogue asked in a low voice.

"It's a druid. I'm afraid there is a secret association of druid groups here. I also know their route now. Otherwise, I could have made preparations earlier." The poet Antarctic Frog sighed.

It is easy to fight a druid, but it is very troublesome to fight a group of druids. Arthur often said that the world is a family of small druids.

Even players who are not afraid of the sky and the earth will not dare to destroy the woodland at will in Arthur.

"No, druids won't stop the caravan rashly. Is there something wrong with these goods?" Miss Pastor said, looking straight at the carriage.

However, in this convoy, all the goods have been tightly wrapped in oilcloth, making it airtight at all.

"Could it be animal fur or tiger whip and bear gall?" The rogue Rainbow already had bad associations.

"No, don't think these gangsters are fools. Still knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the mountains?" the poet Frog denied.

Zhao Xu stayed in the corner and listened silently, but his evaluation of this team was half a point higher.

If something is wrong, you can analyze it rationally instead of panicking, and you are considered qualified.

At this time, suddenly the whole forest erupted with the roar of a lion.

"It's the druid's animal companion." The rogue Rainbow said quickly. Compared with Zhao Xu and others, he had already noticed the direction of the lion with his detection and listening skills.

"What kind?" Zhao Xu hurriedly asked.

"Just a lion." Rainbow the rogue was puzzled.

But Zhao Xu didn't need to ask any more questions at this time.

Many followers of the entire caravan have already started to tremble, and even warrior players like Maple Leaf can't help panting.

It wasn't that there was something strange in front of them, but that around them, the original ten-meter-high oak trees rose one after another, turning into towering treants.

No one dared to move, lest an unexpected sound would start a massacre.

Immediately afterwards, those oak tree men began to wave their hands, activating the originally motionless oak trees around them.

Like a mitosis, the oak treants doubled immediately, and the number of treants alone was almost forty or fifty.

This overwhelming pressure is tormenting the hearts of everyone present bit by bit.

Zhao Xu could still maintain his composure in his heart after seeing such a scene, and he still couldn't help but spit out: As for it!

However, he didn't even need to make a knowledge check this time. Finally, the blind cat encountered a dead mouse once, and encountered the content he had read when improving the knowledge (nature) skill.

"Hey, poet, why did such an oak tree army appear without any movement? If there are so many spells, they can rush past the current player army with just one move."

However, the poet frog's "Anecdotal Knowledge" just failed the check, and he didn't roll any knowledge (nature) skills himself. Faced with this situation, he was helpless, and he could only keep silent.

"They were hiding there from the beginning," Zhao Xu explained.

Several people around immediately cast their eyes on him.

"How is it possible? My scouting skills have been upgraded to level 2. With my 2-point perception adjustment, why can't I see such an obvious treant with +4 scouting bonus?" Rainbow the rogue couldn't help but raise his voice.

"The tree man has a +16 racial bonus to hiding skills in the forest," Zhao Xu said lightly.

Even if the treant's own hiding bonus is negative, but with the racial bonus, the skill confrontation surpasses that of a rogue like Rainbow.

But at this moment, Zhao Xu and the others were all attracted by the front.

A druid riding a ferocious lion walked out from the depths of the forest. Behind him, the jungles were even more vaguely visible. It was obvious how many people were ambushing.

The druid's face was simple and simple, as if there was raging anger underneath, and at the same time, the leather armor he was wearing was wrapped with various branches, and the ferocious lion under his knees showed his fangs.

"What's the level of the lion rider?" Warrior Maple Leaf hurriedly asked after seeing such power.

Most of the level 1 druid players now ride horses to drive dogs and drive camels. How can they reach the level of lions.

"Like level 7?" Priest Yoyo began to recall.

Zhao Xu glanced at Miss Pastor and smiled secretly. This is the disadvantage of relying on memory and not skills.

He also saved the group of people from underestimating this druid, and thus underestimating the treant army in front of him. He still said, "This is a ferocious lion, only available to druids at least level 10."

After speaking, he looked at the oak trees around him and said, "These trees are summoned by the sixth-level druid magic 'Guardian of the Oak', and those trees can recruit two more of the same tree. Contempt, this is a challenge level 8 monster."

Zhao Xu said that the tree people might not have an idea, but when it comes to challenge level 8, these level 1 players basically know it all.

The challenge level is the battle level recommended by Arthur, which is to challenge this kind of monster. It is recommended to have 4 adventurers above level 8.

Although after the cataclysmic era, this evaluation is not very accurate, and the combat effectiveness of monsters at the same challenge level may vary from the sky to the ground, but it still has a certain reference value.

"Let's run away depending on the situation." Warrior Maple Leaf said in a low voice.

Although the druid hasn't made a sound yet, there is no way to have a good conversation with this kind of gesture.

Roja, who was overwhelmed by the power of the druid in front of him, continued to raise his voice at this moment: "My lord druid, please allow us to go there. I am willing to offer a fee for the maintenance of nature, and I also promise—"

"roll!"
