The Truth of Magic

Chapter 89 The Mantra Turret

"Zhong Xia, are there any stronger traps that you spellcasters have heard of?" The poet Frog asked Zhao Xu at this time, as if to relieve the tension in his heart.

"Trap? Half trap and half structure?" Zhao Xu, who kept scanning his surroundings with his half bucket of water detection skills, said after hearing this.

"Let's hear it?" The Antarctic frog had already realized that Zhao Xu's knowledge was not on the same level as theirs.

Everyone in the team who was on alert all pricked up their ears and listened.

Most of Arthur's gossip was heard during this kind of intentional or unintentional adventure, and then spread through their respective mouths.

"Spell turret?" Zhao Xu said.

"Spells? Turrets?" Yoyo didn't expect that these two things that she didn't want to close could be connected in series.

"The spell turret is generally used in places where no one is expected to enter. It can identify a specific target. If it is not entered in the target list, it will start to cast spells." Zhao Xu recalled.

"Isn't it the same as the curse-falling trap just now?" At this time, the soldier Feng Ye cautiously hid beside Roja with his sword in his hand. After a while, he began to speak with some strength.

Zhao Xu smiled. He thought the same thing when he saw the mantra turret in Floating Void City.

"The mantra stores four spells of the same level, one is released in each round, the energy is stored and repaired in the fifth round, and then the spells are released repeatedly in four rounds, and so on," Zhao Xu said.

Hearing this sentence, everyone's footsteps almost stopped.

The curse almost killed Maple Leaf just now. If the four spells were mercilessly thrown over, they could actually collect the body for Maple Leaf.

"How about the distance?" Roja, who has been tempered for a long time, quickly grasped the focus of the question.

If it's the same as the curse-falling trap just now, with only a trigger distance of one or two meters, that's fine, and you can still hide it if you can't provoke it.

"This is the terrible thing about the mantra turret. It has a recognition trigger distance of nearly 40 meters. And it is usually hidden, and it will only appear when it recognizes an unknown target." Zhao Xu explained.

"Doesn't the caster have invisibility spells?" the expert Locke said after a long silence.

It was only then that Zhao Xu noticed Locke, probably Roja's academic responsibility, but he never had a chance to speak out because there were two extravagant configurations of mage and priest in a team.

"The turret has the effect of true knowledge." Zhao Xu said lightly.

Suddenly everyone fell silent.

"What is true seeing?" Rainbow, the rogue, asked after a while.

Only then did Zhao Xu realize that he said he had to go around.

"True seeing is a sixth-level spell. It can see through all illusions, including invisibility." Zhao Xu explained directly.

God knows why a broken fort can obtain true knowledge effect at a low cost.

After hearing Zhao Xu's explanation, everyone came to their senses.

Illusion may be unfamiliar to everyone, but the most typical "invisibility" in illusion is still famous.

Even in small towns where magic is not popular, some people will have heard of the "invisibility" second-level spell of the mage.

It is also after mastering this spell that the mages have a little more money to save their lives.

Therefore, how to deal with mages with invisibility spells has become the common sense of all major war professions.

"Hey, it's a good trap, but it becomes extremely tricky when dealing with spells." Hill, the rogue in front, also complained.

Although the entire tunnel was narrow, they walked all the way down without any abnormalities, and they immediately relaxed a lot.

Zhao Xu also deeply agreed with the wanderer's speech.

When he first went to the floating city, the black-robed mage told him not to run around if he had nothing to do, because he was afraid that he would trigger the countless spell turrets in the floating city.

At that time, he had just handed in the recommendation letter, and Floating Void City hadn't had time to enter his name yet.

The turrets of the Floating Void City are all connected with the Mystic, which is more complicated. Sometimes even people on the list would be bombarded mercilessly if they broke in at the wrong time.

Not to mention the spell bombardment, followed by the detention treatment of the spell guards.

He didn't know anything else, at least around the Obelisk, the headquarters of the final scroll, there were hundreds of level nine spell forts.

As long as someone dares to trespass, energy absorption, imprisonment, boundary vortex, and ninth-level monster summoning will come for free.

"Wait." Suddenly the wanderer Rainbow raised his hand, motioning for everyone to stop.

"I was scared to death, but luckily I didn't step on it." Rainbow said nervously with a ruddy face.

"There is indeed something wrong." Hill, the rogue beside him, also squatted down, confirming Rainbow's judgment.

Everyone's footsteps also stopped completely, and the martial artist Haifeng, who had been silent at the bottom, turned his back to them directly.

Both rogues crouched to examine the ground ahead of the tunnel, while others guarded them.

"It's nothing strange." Yoyo stood on her toes and said while looking ahead.

The road surface of the entire tunnel is extremely flat, as if there is nothing unusual about it.

"It might be a trapdoor," said Zhao Xu, who had gone through dungeons in his previous life.

Pit traps in the wild usually have barbs or the like placed underneath them. Ordinary people who fall into them will definitely die with that point of hp, and the situation of their adventurers will not be much better.

But everyone is not blind, and they will not know that there is a pit and step forward, so the field is usually covered with branches and weeds, making it a one-time trap.

But if you get more weeds in the dungeon, there is no silver three hundred taels here, just a sign saying there is a trap.

Even carpeting would be weird, so dungeon pit traps are often turned into self-healing trapdoors,

As long as there is enough strength, stepping on it will trigger the switch, and the valve on the ground will open directly, and if you can't dodge it, you will fall down.

"Mr. Roja, come and press it together." At this time, Rainbow has already found out that the trap is not a kind of triggered arrow, but a trap with a high probability.

Roja, who understood, followed the rogue towards the suspected trap door.

Immediately, the entire ground that was originally intact was like stepping on an empty box, and two trap doors with a length of two or three meters sank downward, which made everyone nervous.

However, after losing the support of strength, the two valves immediately returned to their original shape under the action of the device, only making babbling sounds.

Zhao Xu looked a little strange. The trap was made too long, as if deliberately preventing them from jumping through it.

It's just that it's meaningless. After being found out, they will naturally have a way to pass.

"This device is quite strong after so long." Rainbow complained.

"It's hard to do, let's just climb over the wall." Seeing this trap, Roja already understood that, like the curse trap, it was not something that two level 1 rogues could dismantle.

After everyone made some plans, Hill, who has relatively high climbing skills, began to insert iron rods for climbing on the wall, and everyone stepped on those iron rods step by step.

At the same time, those who climbed over were all tied with ropes. If they accidentally slipped their feet, everyone would try their best to pull him back.

In the end, it took more than ten minutes to pass one by one, and those iron rods were still left on the wall.

"Go ahead." Roja said after seeing everyone repaired.

The wanderers on the road ahead haven't checked yet, and just now everyone didn't dare to take a few more steps hastily, and stayed more than one meter in front of the trapdoor.

Everyone nodded. If the dungeon is full of traps of this difficulty, then victory is at hand.

The rogue Rainbow continued to stand in front, moving forward while searching and investigating. Just discovering the trap gave him a boost of confidence.

At this time, it was only a few tens of meters away from the corner at the front end.

It's just that after the team hadn't walked more than a few meters, he suddenly found that at the end, on the originally smooth wall, a demon head with two horns suddenly turned around, and its mouth began to emit light.

"Could it be, the spell turret?"

Everyone noticed at this moment, and they all looked at Zhao Xu in blank dismay.
