The Truth of Magic

Chapter 679 The Female Star in the Lair

And the cavalry regiment on the earth's side looked at this space that was constantly being swept by the storm of energy fragments, and dared not move forward for a long time.

Even the war horses under them were paralyzed after seeing the tragic scene of corpses all over the ground.

"What level of existence is causing this?" the commander of the cavalry regiment asked.

The hundreds of player adventurers behind him were also extremely at a loss when they saw this scene.

It was obvious that they had just stormed for a while, and they had been in a stalemate.

Why did the battlefield suddenly fall into another dimension?

It looked as if there was an invisible black hand behind them manipulating these, and mocking their weakness.

"I'm afraid it's a team of mages?" the mage who was a magic consultant in the cavalry regiment said in disbelief.

His pupils were widened, as if he was shocked when he first came into contact with magic.

But no matter how many of them scanned the battlefield full of corpses, they couldn't see anything strange or miraculous.

"Let's go, let's raid the lair of these ogres." Zhao Xu tapped the forehead of Yoon'er, who was still in a daze, with his index finger.

"Ah? Won't you meet them?" Yun'er was a little surprised.

There are more than a thousand people here, and there must be many top players among the current players, but she didn't expect Zhao Xu to even meet him.

To put it an exaggeration, Zhong Xia can be said to be the "boss" of this group of people.

Zhao Xu shook his head slightly, "They came in so blatantly, they didn't even talk about negotiating, and they just killed you on the spot, do you think they came to save you?"

Yun'er honestly shook her somewhat delicate forehead.

"That's enough."

Zhao Xu patted her on the shoulder, "Since they are not here to save you, why are you worrying so much?"

"Oh." Only then did Yun'er understand, "No wonder you want to release this continuous burst of 'fragment storm' spell. It turns out that in addition to killing these ogres, it also makes this area a dead zone. Let them I can't come here for a while."

"It's good to know."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he cast a "flying spell" on Yun'er, pulled her into flight, and headed for the ogre's lair.

"Captain, do you know the way?"

Yun'er couldn't help being very curious. She was with Zhao Xu during the whole process just now, and she couldn't leave her for a moment.

How come the other party seems to be silent from beginning to end, so he understands the whole situation clearly.

"Then do you think I really watched you fight for no reason just now?" Zhao Xu laughed.

As he spoke, he shook the "scepter" in his hand, "From the moment the battle broke out, I took aim at the ogre and cast the spell "Modify memory" on it."

"What I was pointing to was the memory of the 'nest', and I naturally knew it clearly in the end."

"Modify memory? What kind of spell is this?" Yun'er muttered to herself.

She suddenly felt as if she had come into contact with some unspeakable shady scene.

"Modify the memory."

Zhao Xuman said indifferently.

"This is a four-ring poet spell, which can sneak into the mind of the subject and modify a memory of no more than 5 minutes."

"The form of specific implementation can directly erase all memories of a certain event, or allow the other party to clearly recall the complete details of the event they have experienced, or modify the specific details in the memory or even directly implant them."

"I just read it, so it didn't take long, otherwise, if I really implanted the entire memory, it wouldn't be so fast."

Although Zhao Xu's entire description process seemed a bit understated, as an audience member, Yun'er couldn't help but feel a sense of dread in his heart every time he heard a way of realization.

"This way of modifying memory is too perverted, isn't it?" She couldn't help complaining.

"So, there is no pure land in this world."

"No." Zhao Xu shook his finger lightly, "For the entire world of Arthur, the fourth ring is already a great level, not to mention that this spell is essentially the poet's fourth ring spell, and ordinary poets have to wait until You can only master it at level 10."

"And if the mage really wants to completely modify the memory, he still has to rely on the 'memory system' of the nine-ring spell, so it's a lot more conservative, and you don't have to worry too much about Arthur's order collapsing."

"A five-ring mage is already a top-level mage for Arthur's small country," Zhao Xu explained.

The previous player's rapid upgrade mode made many people underestimate the status of a spellcaster with four or five rings in the whole Arthur.

To exaggerate, it is very likely that the battle between two small countries to destroy the country is just a struggle between two five-ring mages.

Just like ordinary people watching the news, they think that a county magistrate is nothing more than that, but only after he really comes into contact with it will he know the power of a department-level cadre in a district or county.

"Then captain, shall we go to that lair rashly?"

At this time, Yun'er was still controlling the power of flying, soaring high in the sky, but she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.

Conquering the sky has always been an instinctive pursuit for human beings.

Otherwise, in the case of extreme sports such as "wing suit flying", there are not so many people trying it.

"With me here, what else do you have to worry about?" Zhao Xu's tone was nonchalant.

"No, captain." Yun'er tilted her head, looking full of curiosity, "Then ordinary mages just rush over without saying a word?"

"Like a goal kicker?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel ashamed. He knew that he was curious about the existence of that "god", so he did everything in a hurry, and Yun'er was somewhat misled.

Zhao Xu immediately explained, "It's not like that."

"Before we take the risk, we must do the most basic preparation homework, investigate the monster information ahead, and prepare the corresponding spells. For example, if there are undead creatures there, we don't need to prepare the mind-type enchantment spells, which is what I started The mentioned 'sleep technique'."

As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked at the ogre's lair not far ahead.

"If I reach the eighth ring, I will definitely prepare the 'Final Judgment' spell that targets humanoid creatures, humanoid monsters, or giants of the evil camp."

He waved his fist, "At that time, looking at these evil giants, after I read their crimes on the spot, I shouted 'I will judge you on behalf of justice', and then the judgment from the heavens will come to the world, bringing Walk away these evil giants, and their remains will be sent to the lower realms for eternal judgment."

Zhao Xu's eyes were already shining brightly at this time, as if he had been preparing for this shot for a long time.

And Zheng Xinyun, who heard this second speech, could only grin slightly, expressing that he had learned it.

"At the same time, we must also be prepared to 'leave the battlefield'. After all, we only have one life, just like the situation where countless ogre armies suddenly surrounded us. A qualified mage, at the moment these monsters appeared, It is necessary to throw an escape spell or a field control spell to block it."

"For example, the 'cloud and mist technique' in the first ring is the most basic way to control the field. Sometimes a four-person adventure group at level 1 suddenly encounters three ogres, and the only way to escape is thrown by the mage." Cloud Mist, how far can everyone escape before the fog clears."

"Er..." Yun'er finally understood.

In Arthur's battle, there was actually more helplessness.

"Then captain, you have five rings. Is there any way to update the way of escape?"

"This is it."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu took out three small test tubes as long as "batteries" from his backpack pocket.

They have been sealed intact, and they are all filled with bright red blood of a similar color.

"Owl, eagle, giant eagle?"

Yun'er read out the general text on the labels on the three test tubes at once.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu dripped three drops of blood from the test tube and fused them on his finger. The whole process was as stingy as it could be.

The next second, he pulled Yun'er down and landed next to a tree stump, and then Zhao Xu drew a bloody rune on it with his index finger.

But before Yun'er could blink, the marked flare had disappeared, and then she was pulled high above the sky by Zhao Xu again to fly.

Without waiting for Yun'er to ask, Zhao Xu explained.

"The spell I cast just now is the 'retreat emblem' of the fifth ring. Casting this spell through the indication of the contact life object, I just created a secret seal (zero ring)."

"In this way, during the 24 hours of the duration of the spell, I can use a swift action to teleport back to the location of the imprint at any time. The effect is equivalent to the advanced teleportation of the seventh ring."

At first, Yun'er thought it was some kind of miraculous effect, but when she heard that it was just a high-level teleportation with seven rings, she couldn't help curling her lips.

"But that's all. A mage with five rings can cast teleportation."

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, smiled silently, "You little girl with high eyesight and low hands should let you take some beatings in life first. Five-ring spells need to be cast quickly, so they must be paired with 'spell instant'. If it is not optimized, then it will be A nine-ring spell is in place, okay?"

"And we cast it on an inanimate object, but it doesn't mean it can't move, so sometimes letting animals or other people carry it will have miraculous effects."

Only then did Yun'er understand what Zhao Xu really meant.

And after the two of them entered the depths of the mountain ahead, they also began to transform into low-altitude flying.

At this time, the cavalry regiment behind him has been left far behind.

At the same time, according to the memory of the ogre, Zhao Xu quickly found a hidden entrance in the hill in front of him, lifted the big stone directly, and entered the tunnel with Yun'er.

As the light of the inextinguishable torch illuminates the rough stone road ahead, Yun'er shrinks her pupils, adapting to the light deep in the mountains.

"Sure enough, it's the ogre's camp, and there's a stench everywhere."

Reminiscent of the size of the ogres just now, Yun'er couldn't help but think, "Doesn't this mean that there is a huge dungeon below to accommodate these ogres? No wonder they are not overwhelmed by these waves of undead. I'm overwhelmed, and my feelings are hiding here to enjoy the rest of the year."

As she said that, she also looked at everything in the tunnel with curious eyes, "No wonder these ogres are not worried about the heavy rain that will follow. Isn't this a proper space? Captain, we will occupy this place later. "

Zhao Xu shook his head at this, "Don't think that we didn't think of such underground potholes and crypts as shelters. I can tell you that in places where the sun doesn't shine, people affected by negative energy most likely."

As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked wary.

"At that time, it's not time to become a skeleton. It's time to fall asleep and wake up again as a zombie."

Yun'er couldn't help trembling when she heard it.

Obviously, this is not knowledge that fell from the sky, but the experience of blood and tears obtained after the groping of human life.

Immediately, the air returned to its original solemnity.

"Then won't these ogres suffer from such consequences?" Yun'er asked.

"Not necessarily." Zhao Xu recalled the experience just now, "It seems that the'god' gave them some kind of blessing and escaped this punishment."

"It's no wonder that in order to find a sacrificial sacrificial artifact, all the staff were dispatched, and not even a gatekeeper was left behind."

At this moment, Zhao Xu could already smell a faint smell of blood in the air.

Not human, more like an ogre.

In fact, just now, the entire tunnel was covered in various dark red colors. Obviously, many prisoners were dragged through this road, leaving countless wailing and wounds.

And the bloody smell of the ogre can actually cover these!

Doesn't it mean that bigger changes have already taken place earlier?

At this moment, the two of them walked through the ring opening in front of them, looking at the weapon rack on the side and the movable stone slab above, it was obvious that if the enemy really invaded, it would be blocked here.

On both sides of the next road, a whole row of cells began to appear.

On both sides, the prison door fence was just rebuilt with palm-thick solid wooden poles, and some weeds and soil were randomly placed inside, and the stench was even worse.

Suddenly, Yun'er let out a scream and pointed directly at a cage.

In this darkness and shadows, there were four bodies, three of which had fallen to the ground, dead or alive.

Only one figure looked slender, trembling unceasingly, praying words that no one could understand.

After hearing Zhao Xu and Yun'er's footsteps, the woman suddenly raised her head. Her panicked gaze suddenly turned into surprise when she suddenly saw that they were no more than two meters tall.

She kept pumping her throat, wanting to shout out, but immediately remembered that the ogre guard might still be nearby, holding her breath and said softly, "Are you here to save us?"

As she spoke, her eyes were already filled with tears, but her body was still suppressing her own crying.

Although the appearance of the woman in front of him was full of filth and dust, Zhao Xu's face was familiar and he could barely recognize her, but he couldn't tell her specific name.

"It's you? Ah! Deer Rain from Pinkgirl!" Yun'er shouted excitedly on the spot, she didn't expect that she would be able to meet her favorite idol singer again in the troubled times after time travel.

"This..." Zhao Xu looked at this scene, wanting to talk.
