The Truth of Magic

Chapter 212 Mummy (12)

Facing this scene, Zhao Xu's heart beat faster.

But he didn't turn his head to look back immediately.

Originally, after he landed, he could smell the stench of corpses that would unconsciously emanate from the gathering of undead creatures in the field. But at this moment, he smelled a pungent herbal spice instead.

Immediately afterwards, he also heard a deep moan like the ages, and he felt an indescribable shock.

But Zhao Xu was somewhat relieved at this moment. He had already guessed what the undead creature behind him was.

Undead creatures like skeleton warriors had no intelligence, so they were born unable to tell whether Zhao Xu was real or not.

But more advanced undead are intelligent!

It's just that Zhao Xu firmly believes in his own spells at this moment.

Although Zhao Xu's appearance had not changed, intelligent undead creatures would not immediately see that he was actually alive, at best they were suspicious.

So Zhao Xu didn't mess around rashly, ran away or turned around and took out the "Fireball Eternal Magic Wand" to fight a wave.

Such a consequence would only make him surrounded by this sea of ​​skeletons.

It even triggered the second and third spell attacks.

Just like that, Zhao Xu imitated the zombie's pace, shaking his head constantly, and staggered away slowly.

During this period, he purposely adjusted his direction slightly, with a slight arc. In the end, Zhao Xu barely glanced around with his peripheral vision. He wanted to confirm whether the undead creature behind him was as he had guessed at the beginning.

But Zhao Xu's movements were very careful, as if with a trace of deliberation. Even though he had already left some distance at this time, he didn't directly stare at the direction behind him at that time.

As if worrying about something.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you have entered the field for more than 3 rounds and have obtained the effect of "True Seeing". 】

Hearing these words, Zhao Xu almost uttered a sound, but it was actually a true seeing that took effect after a delay, which meant that all the undead creatures present could see through invisibility.

Fortunately, his "Undead Shroud" is the effect of necromancy rather than pure illusion.

It's too insidious!

In the end, by controlling the corner of his eyes, Zhao Xu managed to get rid of a little bit of clothing residue, and he was so shocked that he closed his eyes.

bandage!

Sure enough, as he expected, it was a "mummy".

Challenge level 8 ghouls are animated from the corpses of murderers or villains who died without atonement.

Mummies with a challenge level of 5 are commonly found in the desert gods, activated from embalmed corpses, and they are generally good at guarding tombs.

Ever since Zhao Xu got those mysterious notebooks and knew they came from a mysterious tomb, he deliberately learned about the common monsters guarding the tomb.

One of them was the mummy, and even Zhao Xu knew the other party's information by heart without having to make a knowledge check.

The challenge level of the mummy itself is average. A team of 4 people at level 5 can already be considered to have enough combat power to challenge a mummy.

Zhao Xu didn't dare to look directly at the mummy. Naturally, the other party was like a ghost, and he would be counterattacked just by looking at it.

The mummy itself has a fear aura effect called "Despair". If he had read it all just now, he would have to make a will save of difficulty level 16, and if he failed, he would be paralyzed for 1-4 rounds due to fear.

Undead creatures are immune to the corresponding effects of paralysis, shock, disease, and death.

Otherwise, the group of skeletons present would be knocked down by the mummy first.

So once he fell into a paralyzed state, the mummy might see that he was actually a living creature, and pounce on him to attack him.

Although Zhao Xu was not afraid of these ordinary attacks in the star cloak, he considered that the mummy's swing had a supernatural disease called" putrescence."

Once infected, in addition to Constitution and Charisma, it will take 1-6 points of damage. It is a kind of continuous injury, which will continue to occur until the constitution returns to zero and the body turns into dust.

A classmate in Zhao Xu's class was unfortunately infected by rotting corpse disease, and this disease was an extremely powerful curse. Without enough caster level, using the three-ring magical spell of "remove disease" might not be effective.

So even if there was a priest in the team at that time, his classmate still couldn't make it to the senior priest of the temple in a big town.

That's why Zhao Xu was so guilty just now, he pulled out a safe enough distance, and only dared to look back after getting out of the range of the "despair" fear aura.

These days, no one can say whether these undead creatures have magical weapons, so he dare not bet on his star cloak.

After getting out of the range of the mummy, Zhao Xu also carefully observed the surrounding situation.

In his sight, most of them were garbage skeleton warriors who would be chopped off with a single blow.

This kind of enemy who was considered powerful against him at level 1, now he basically throws a fireball technique, killing as many as he can, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can clear the field.

But the appearance of the mummy just now also warned him that this negative energy field may not be as simple as he thought.

Who knows the source of the dry bones under his feet.

Especially just after Zhao Xu landed for one round, he came face to face and was hit in the face by five damage spell series packages, which shocked him even more.

Those five damage spells correspond to the five healing spells, from the first ring to the fourth ring plus multiple sixth rings.

A set of damage would definitely exceed 200 hp, and 9 Zhao Xu would not be enough to kill them together.

It was also fortunate that he used the Undead Curtain, and it just so happened that all negative energy damage was treated as healing for him, so he escaped unharmed.

At this moment, Zhao Xu also woke up. The stele didn't lie, but it didn't tell the whole story.

And, he just made a mistake!

Relying on his own Feather Falling Technique, he directly thought of Xiuyi and took a leap of faith on the spot.

But he didn't expect that his vertical distance was already six meters, and after adding the translational distance of one or two meters, the absolute distance between him and the high platform he just fell was more than seven meters.

Otherwise, he could have just used "Secondary Rapid Explosion" and "Teleportation Boots" to go back to the high platform.

In this way, he might only get the damage from the first two spells.

At this time, Zhao Xu also warned himself that the next action should be honest and from the safest point of view.

At this time, Zhao Xu also followed the zombie's footsteps and walked slowly to the center of the venue.

He didn't know if there were any undead creatures still watching him.

After Zhao Xu walked to the center, he squatted down a little, took out a forked twig, and began to cast the target spell of his trip - the second ring spell "object location".

This spell can be used to search for a specified item in the area that he has seen with his own eyes.

But Zhao Xu hadn't seen it, so he could only do the next best thing and use this spell to search for a certain type of item.

Generally speaking, this second effect is not very useful, because once the nearest item of the corresponding type is found, the spell effect will end.

However, under the bones at the scene, there will only be a token key of the portal, so naturally he has no worries about this.

In the end, after the spell was cast, an invisible induction field immediately spread to cover the area accompanied by Zhao Xu's mental agitation.

Spells are divided into short-range, medium-range, and long-range. The basic format is a fixed distance, and then increases with the level of the caster.

The spell distance of the "object positioning technique" is long distance, and the fixed distance is 120 meters.

Then he increases his caster level by 12 meters per level, so his caster level increase reaches 72 meters at level 6.

It also meant that a huge space with a radius of nearly 200 meters, equivalent to four football fields put together, fell within Zhao Xu's sensing range, basically covering the corpse square below.

As the information came back continuously, Zhao Xu's eyes lit up immediately.

His eyes fell on a position in the front left.

From a distance of more than 100 meters, Zhao Xu almost wanted to rub his eyeballs when he saw it.

But no matter how hard he could believe it, he was surprised to find that there were nearly twenty mummies in that area.

Obviously he didn't see this at the beginning on the high platform above.

Illusion!

Zhao Xu immediately came to his senses.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning, even what he saw might not be real. It's a pity that some undead creatures have strong hiding ability, and there are too many skeletons walking around to block the sight, so Zhao Xu couldn't see it in the field. It's too clear exactly what the threat is.

At this moment, Zhao Xu also began to think about how to get the portal key hidden under the bones on the ground through these 20 mummies.

Zhao Xu's current "Fireball Eternal Magic Wand" does 5D6 (5-30HP) damage, and the expected value is about 18HP.

Because of the bandage, the mummy has the characteristic of being "susceptible to fire damage", and the damage will increase by 50% to as much as 27HP.

It's just that compared to the opponent's average HP of 55 HP, he can theoretically kill them all with two fireball shots, and there will definitely be some left on the scene.

The most unlucky thing is naturally that there is a trace of blood left in all of them, and then they attack him back.

Another solution is to take a risk and walk over there, pick up something and run away. It's just that, if there are undead creatures paying attention to him, then he will be completely exposed.

Even if he was exposed as soon as he walked into the mummy encirclement, then he would have to bear the siege.

But Zhao Xu got the key and approached the high platform to expose it, but it was not so dangerous. Anyway, he could finish the last 6 meters by relying on the "secondary rapid explosion" routine.

So looking at this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help thinking, how could he get the teleportation key safely and smoothly?
