The Truth of Magic

Chapter 711: Mysterious Hole

maze?

Zhao Xu was somewhat unexpected. This was not the outer realm of the magic net pit that he had expected.

In this case, it will be troublesome.

Zhao Xu frowned slightly. The will of the spider queen rose was deeply integrated with the pit of the magic net, like a trinity.

This is also the reason why the opponent expands the area of ​​the magic net pit, and the reason why he can continue to improve his strength.

But this has already revealed another point, that is, Rose's control over the entire level is far superior to that of ordinary abyss lords.

And this level is suppressed by His will, so it is almost impossible to teleport in the pit of the magic net.

The only way for ordinary people is to find the weak point of suppression and use "transfer from another world" to leave.

But it is basically impossible to use "teleportation" and "any door" to travel thousands of miles at will on the entire level.

Only some of the spider queen's extremely favored subordinates will hold those extremely evil "mysterious geometry carvings", and holding them can allow these believers to teleport between designated locations in the pit of the magic net.

Zhao Xu remembered that the specific shapes included steel pyramids, silver balls, bronze eight-pointed stars, and blue crystal cubes.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu restarted the daily morning routine.

It stands to reason that he is now upgraded. The basic caster level of the divine side is level 9, level 1 ritual, level 1 Ain stone, level 1 tattoo, level 5 physical sacrifice, and level 2 sacred poetry. After superposition, he has a full level of 19 .

It stands to reason that this is Zhao Xu's final level of magic spellcaster.

However, he has the "Realm of Decline and Death", which can increase the caster's level by half.

Therefore, some one-time promotion methods can also be activated and used this time, substituting the 50% promotion effect in the "Realm of Decline and Death".

Instant "Magic Rosary" (4), Ascension Cross (4), Mana Enhancement (2), Holy Emblem (1), Skilled Spellcaster (potential simulation, 2) and other means were used by Zhao Xu one after another.

Therefore, the caster level for him to cast "Realm of Decay" is 19+13=32, which is an increase of 16 levels.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's caster level for the whole day will be a fixed level of 19+32/2=35.

However!

In this magic net pit, all spells with chaotic or evil nature will have an effect at twice the level of the caster!

And the spider web technique will automatically spread to cover twice the area, and at the same time the difficulty of poison attack will be increased by 3 levels, and the duration of summon poisonous insect spell and spider walk spell will be doubled.

Even the natural regeneration rate of evil creatures is doubled, a place of natural evil and chaos.

In other words, when Zhao Xu casts Domain of Decay, his level 32 will be regarded as level 64!

That is to say, the 50% increase brought about by "Domain of Decay" is also 64/2=32 levels.

In the end, Zhao Xu, who completed the spell in the magic net pit, will have a caster level of 19+32=51, and even if he leaves the abyss, he will continue to maintain this effect until the spell lasts for 24 hours.

And during this period of time, Zhao Xu's "chaos" and "evil" element spells will be regarded as 52*2=104 caster level!

He couldn't help shaking his head, the environment of the magic net pit felt too strong.

If there is a fast channel, he feels that he needs to switch to this level when preparing spells every day.

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that his "Hammer of Justice" spell can reach 54D8 damage, and after combining the twin extreme effects and powerful effects, that one shot is 54*8*2*1.5, a full 1300HP damage!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu walked forward without hesitation.

The front is a maze, which at first glance is still composed of countless overlapping floors. These seemingly flawless rock floors, he tried to knock, are at least 1 meter thick.

At the same time, under Zhao Xu's subtle observation, the natural patterns of these rocks had some subtle changes, as if the distorted bodies and faces of those fallen souls were imprisoned in them forever, constantly wailing.

He also noticed that there are sticky spider webs appearing in the passages in the maze from time to time. Just looking at it will make you feel a deep sense of discomfort. No matter how you look at it, it is not a place where people can live with peace of mind.

"Fireball!"

In an instant, an incomparably violent and highly effective fireball was thrown out, directly submerging into the spider web in front of it.

However, the blazing high temperature had no effect at all.

After the flames dissipated, the walls of the labyrinth were left with burnt marks, but the cobwebs permeated with mucus were not damaged at all.

Zhao Xu understood that these spider webs were immune to fire, cold, and electric shock just like in the records.

At the same time, in the distance of the spiderweb tunnel, there is still an endless cloud of smoke, full of corrosive smell, shrouding the entire space in darkness, as if huge waves were rolling in the deep sea.

After a little recognition, he understood that once he entered this blocked cloud, if he failed his save, he would be sucked into the chaos of the bottomless abyss forever.

This scene is already similar to the magic net pit described by the outside world. So the place he is in is undoubtedly the "magic net pit". Above, it is definitely not nonsense.

Compared with the original "Great Abyss" level, the risk of this magic net pit is far beyond his imagination!

But this also meant that Zhao Xu couldn't use the idea of ​​"forced destruction" to break out of this maze all the way, because if he was not careful, he would fall into these clouds.

After sighing, Zhao Xu also cheered up, knowing that he must not take it lightly.

After silently mobilizing the plane knowledge in his heart to search, he got the key information and understood the key elements of his departure.

There are often various metal doors in the magic net pits, and they will stand in front of various mysterious passages. Most of them lead to patches of smoke, and there are also many demiplanes, and even Rose. In the huge conquest plan, those key stagnation points of the main material plane world.

Those places have already been completely conquered by Rose's servants. They are filled with dark elves, demons and other servants. They will run out of the Underdark at any time according to Rose's order, and launch a death charge on the entire main material plane, for their gods. Expand the territory and let more planes be swallowed by the pit of the magic net.

Generally speaking, when exploring in the pit of the magic web, the main thing is to avoid the drow patrols who clear the passage, as well as the demons and spider monsters who carry out Rose's orders.

So Zhao Xu wasn't too worried about it.

But after walking a few steps, he noticed that some mutant spiders crawled out from time to time, and they also rushed towards Zhao Xu with great malice.

Zhao Xu took the initiative to kill a few and then became impatient.

He directly cast the four-ring spell "Fire Shield" to cover himself, and incidentally used "Spell Lasting" to hold it open for 24 hours.

At this time, a layer of shallow flames surrounded his whole body. At first glance, he seemed to have set himself on fire, but in fact the flames were extremely thin and slender, showing a violet color.

Once any monster tries to attack him, it will receive 1D6+ level damage from the "flame shield".

With Zhao Xu's current power, 1D6 damage is not a concern, just a drizzle.

The key is the additional level damage, which is more than 50 points. Generally, weaker monsters are burned to death on the spot.

After the warm fireworks appeared, Zhao Xu instantly felt the malice from the shadow.

But he didn't move at all, he just watched it.

Slowly, a huge deformed spider came out of the darkness. Its claws were extremely thick and long, and its blue body was more like a super-sized version of a mosquito. At the same time, its front claws also had terrifying barbs with pointed A foul-smelling mucus leaked from the mouth.

Devil hunter!

Zhao Xu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that what he met was not Rose's first favorite demon "wax demon" who sat down, but a monster like the witcher spider who appeared first.

The body of the Demon Hunting Spider is about the size of a plowing horse. If it spreads its legs, it can reach a scale of three to four meters, and its weight exceeds a full two tons.

Demon hunter spiders are just like their nature, they instinctively attack all creatures they see, even other demons are also their hunting targets, and at the same time they are very omnivorous, and they will not refuse any kind of creature.

The monster hunting spider just spit out, and a spider web that covered the sky and the sun covered the sky and covered the sky, covering all Zhao Xu's sight on the spot.

Zhao Xu had already cast the "freedom of movement" spell of the fourth ring on his body. During the duration of the spell, even under the influence of magic that hindered his movement, he could still move and attack normally.

From paralysis to heavy fog, slow to web, and even grapple, he can escape automatically.

Zhao Xu didn't hesitate at all for a demon like the hunting spider whose challenge level was only level 10. He just stood still silently and observed the surroundings to see if more demons appeared.

But to his disappointment, there was only one Demon Hunting Spider.

Forget it, compared to mutant spiders without minds, although this 11-intelligence Demon Hunting Spider couldn't speak, it could still use telepathy to communicate.

Zhao Xu immediately condensed a" hammer of justice" spell, but he was ready to go, only aiming at the witcher spider.

Even he didn't have to shoot it directly, the intelligent Demon Hunting Spider could directly feel the horror of the nearly 1,000 damage Hammer of "Axiom"!

Immediately, its legs became weak and it knelt down.

Forehead?

Zhao Xu was slightly taken aback.

He hasn't done it yet? Without even threatening, the Demon Hunting Spider surrendered?

Forget it, the abyss itself is a place full of betrayal, and these demons are not known for their "integrity and loyalty".

Zhao Xu sighed slightly and said, "Where is this place?"

The Demon Hunting Spider could understand the language of the abyss, so it immediately understood Zhao Xu's meaning. It bent its front feet slightly, and sent a telepathic voice, "I salute you, great mage."

"This is the 'Spider Labyrinth' in the Pit of the Weave, a labyrinth that can be confusing and confusing. It is the place where the great spider goddess breeds new varieties of demons and spider-like monsters. Occasionally, the servants of the goddess Prisoners will also be released into the depths of the maze to appease the hunger of these spider-like inhabitants."

"Generally speaking, monsters from the main material plane cannot reach this place. I don't know how you came here through."

Zhao Xu was taken aback for a moment. Didn't expect it to be such a place?

From this point of view, the special arrangement of the portal here is also intentional.

He looked at the situation around him with surprise, but he did not get any more information, and asked curiously, "Then what are you in charge of here?"

The Demon Hunting Spider continued to flex its joints, "I am the type of spider that was arranged to eliminate the failed evolution."

"Are there any well-known landmarks near the maze?"

As Zhao Xu asked, he stepped on the solid floor hard. The more famous the place, the more likely to find clues.

The other spiders who live here forever may not know it, but this Demon Hunter Spider who has "transportation from another world" and is also returning from the abyss must know the inside story.

The Demon Hunting Spider hurriedly explained with panic, "There are two well-known places nearby, one is Rose's Prison, and it is rumored that in the old enemy of Goddess Rose, there are certain existences that cannot be destroyed, or Often banished to Lolth Hell for restoration, or for charm."

"It was a flat and tiny world with a diameter of 600 meters. I once escorted prisoners into it. There were five small suns shining on the surrounding dark starry sky. Their colors ranged from red to white. A huge bone colossus Watching over some of the imprisoned prisoners."

Zhao Xu suddenly became curious, "Where is the one left?"

"It's the hole of Urgashek, itself a huge stone-walled house that sits near the nearest main passage. It's rumored that there's a constant wheezing inside, and that in that hole that splashes midnight is a red Tongue, devouring and digesting everything placed upon it, whose fearful reputation I have heard since my birth"

"In the end, these substances will be transported to a strange layer of the abyss called Urgashek. Some people say that it is the 92nd layer, which is a living layer."

Zhao Xu shivered slightly.

He had also heard legends about Urgashek.

It is said that that level is composed of the internal organs of unimaginably huge creatures. The blood vessels are like rivers, surging and transporting organic materials, while the flesh and blood organs are like fruits hanging high in the sky, constantly secreting corrosive liquids and falling to the sky. living ground.

Just looking at the description, it looks like the abdomen area of ​​a huge monster.

It was mainly some key points, which were somewhat similar to the characteristics of the horror world, so he was impressed.

The Demon Hunting Spider also continued, "The servants of Goddess Rose generally use it as an efficient garbage discharge port, or as a place of execution for prisoners."

Zhao Xu urged directly, "Then take me there."

However, the Demon Hunting Spider shook her head bitterly, "I have a spell cast by the goddess on my body, so I don't dare to leave here without authorization."

Zhao Xu shook his head, "No, just take me to the place in the maze where teleportation is the least suppressed."

A faint intuition told him that the hole of Urgashek was very strange.
