The Truth of Magic

Chapter 397

397 Chapter 396-joy +Looking at the confused expressions of the two people below, Vivian, as an upright Paladin, could not bear to explain to them what had happened in the outside world.

After a few words, the warrior Northland and the Ranger swordfish’s faces slowly turned ugly.

They had already realized that they could no longer return to the first group of refugees.

At the thought of their bags, the two who were already very poor in the game felt their stomachs hurt even more. They couldn’t help but curse at the dead adventurers.

The unfamiliar yet powerful mage in front of them could tell at a glance that they were the ones who had robbed the brass treasure chest.

This was because the escapees would definitely not dare to take the risk again.

If they lured another super-large mutated Scorpion to chase after them, they might not be able to wait for the mages to save them.

Although the two of them didn’t run back, they had participated in this matter and survived, which in itself had become an original sin.

He would definitely be blamed by the families of those who had died from the mutant Scorpion’s attack.

Even their fellow players would complain about them.

The few victims who ran back to the base camp had already been swallowed by the mutant Scorpion into its belly, and the remaining hatred of attracting Huo Shui naturally had to be borne by them.

Therefore, the two of them immediately gave up on the idea of returning to the team.

“Where you first found the brass treasure chest, are there any other similar treasure chests?” Zhao Xu asked.

“Four or five more.” The warrior Northland replied.

it’s just that that place is too scary. The entire ceiling is filled with hanging corpses, and some of them are even cages with bones. It’s very scary.

Even though the player Northland had watched many horror movies, he still shuddered when he recalled that scene.

“If you think it’s scary, then why are you still staying here and preparing to go back and snatch another treasure chest?” Zhao Xu asked with a smile.

The way they came was not blocked by the scorpion army, which meant that the two of them could find a way to leave by following the path they came.

He was still unwilling to leave, so naturally, he wanted to go back and make more money.

However, the intersection was still blocked by the Scorpions, and the two of them were unable to break through.

The two of them were even worried that the longer they dragged on, the more likely it would be for them to disappear. That was why they didn’t dare to go offline and kept waiting.

Only the current players who had Lifestones would be so desperate for money.

master mage, it’s mainly because that group of people acted too quickly and snatched the treasure chest placed on the outermost layer first. Otherwise, I would have left in satisfaction even if I got a treasure chest.

The warrior northson explained slyly.

As he spoke, he had already begun to avoid making any contact with the deceased.

“Then do you think the two of you can go back and get the treasure chest?” Zhao Xu asked.

At this moment, the two of them also revealed an awkward expression. we are not as powerful as you, Mr. Mage, so naturally, we can’t get it.

They were still here because they were unwilling to leave.

It was like a diamond ring that had fallen into the river. One would only give up after seeing it float or even sink.

Just that group of small-scale mutated scorpions was enough to eat them up.

But before Zhao Xu could say anything, the warrior immediately said in a humble manner, ” of course, we don’t dare to go back to that lair, but we can lead the way for you, master wizard. Also, you can use our information to prepare for your next move.

The players, who usually didn’t even bother to address their company’s superiors in real life, now faced the NPCs in the game, and for the sake of their own rewards, they all very warmly lowered their honorific titles.

Zhao Xu had just casually raised his hand and flew, so this warrior player naturally didn’t think that he was a player as well.

Therefore, he was very familiar with the way to communicate with the other party.

“Sure, what do you want?” Zhao Xu was just short of sticking his hand into his pocket and taking out some gold coins to ask.

There were four or five brass treasure chests in that place. What did that mean?

This meant that it was another huge fortune!

Even though Zhao Xu had no less than ten magic items on him right now, he would still be tempted by the other four or five magic items.

Arthur wasn’t a balanced world. There wouldn’t be a game system that calculated the number of monsters they killed and distributed the equipment.

This was a world where one could find treasures just by luck.

They were now in a delicate situation where they could get a big reward for doing a small amount of work.

After the warrior heard what Zhao Xu said, he gritted his teeth and thought for a while. Then, he gave Zhao Xu a price of a few dozen gold coins.

The main thing was that it wasn’t too far away, so it was still possible for Zhao Xu and the others to find it on their own. He didn’t dare to bid any higher than that.

“Sure.” Zhao Xu didn’t object.

For the rest of the journey, the warrior Northland slowly explained to Zhao Xu about how they came here, especially the distribution of the monsters in the nest.

Zhao Xu was frowning as he listened to the entire story.

It wasn’t too difficult, but the terrifying monsters that the player Northland had mentioned, such as the sleeping giant mutated Scorpion, were all within his range.

It seemed a little too much to take four or five treasure chests out of thin air.

At this moment, the four of them slowly approached the empty nest through the tunnel.

The journey was smooth, and there were no signs of mutant scorpions stationed everywhere as mentioned by the Northland.

At this moment, Zhao Xu heard some noise coming from within the building and his expression changed. He immediately shot out from where he was standing and flew over in an instant.

He saw that in the originally quiet nest, countless mutated scorpions were running away.

The lair itself looked like a huge cave. The top of the cave was made of the hard and natural stone walls of the underground. There were only hooks inserted into the cave. The hanging corpses had also been removed, but it was unknown if they had been transported away.

Meanwhile, a large number of mutated scorpions were constantly drilling into a deep hole that was three to four meters wide.

Zhao Xu could only count himself lucky that he had come early.

After the gigantic mutated Scorpion was dismembered, these ordinary low-level mutated scorpions realized that their species was in trouble!

They did not have any high-level protection power, so they decisively gave up their current nest and fled.

However, it was a little weird that the other party had taken the treasure chests with them.

At this moment, the other two managed to crawl over. They were also dumbfounded. These mutated scorpions were actually more clever than them, and knew how to escape after their nest was discovered.

At this time, one of the Super large mutated scorpions was holding a brass treasure chest with its pincers and was about to walk into the hole. The other group of middle-sized mutated scorpions were waiting carefully and respectfully, wrapping it up in layers, showing a protective posture.

Although the mutated scorpions didn’t figure out what these brass treasure boxes were, it was clear that they also regarded them as treasures that could be worshiped. In addition to carrying them separately, they also specially strengthened the defensive formation.

“I’ll try to fly in a roundabout way and see if I can find a gap to slip in.” Vivian said as she looked at the scene.

But Zhao Xu didn’t say anything. He just took out the eternal wand in his hand and pointed it at the escape route, which was so dark that light couldn’t pass through at all, and he just shot a fireball at it.

In an instant, a small fireball landed on the ground. The mutated scorpions, who were originally gathered together and waiting to escape, were directly flipped over by the raging flame torrent that exploded.

A wave of Fire Magic that was not inferior to the burning hand spell just now frantically drowned countless mutated scorpions that were trying to escape, killing in this Sealed Cave.

Any mutant Scorpion below average size, under the hundred meter radius of the fireball, basically had no chance of survival.

In fact, with the damage curve of fireball of 5-30 (5d6), basically only large mutated scorpions could survive it with their own HP.

“Is this the power of a level 3 spell?” This was the first time the warrior Northland had seen the power of the fireball spell at such a close distance.

Comparing the two, fireball’s flames were more intense and dense, and its range was larger than burning hand’s. Basically, everywhere he looked, there were dead mutated scorpions that could not breathe.

The decision to give up on being a mage made him regret it even more.

It didn’t seem like it would be too bad to wait until he reached Level 5, just like this mage.

let’s start. We’ll prioritize the box. Zhao Xu let out a light shout and flew over.

It was also thanks to the opening of the fireball spell that he had torn open a hole here. Otherwise, he would have been blocked by countless scorpions on his way over.

Unlike now, there were only the corpses of scorpions that had lost their vitality and looked like they had been burned by a blowtorch.

At this time, Vivian, who was outside, began to wave the Holy Avenger sword in her hand, quickly killing the mutated scorpions that were below medium size.

The gigantic mutated Scorpion that was holding the brass treasure chest in its pincers swung its other pincers at Zhao Xu when it saw him.

And at this moment, Zhao Xu was charging over, so he didn’t show any mercy when he saw this.

He raised the black jade-like staff in his hand and smashed it down on the head of the mutant Scorpion.

“What’s this?” The warrior Northland and the Ranger, who were hiding outside the door, were dumbfounded.

When Zhao Xu shot out the fireball just now, he looked like an expert wizard. Who would’ve thought that he would fly over and start swinging a wooden stick at people?

The mages in Arthur weren’t like gandaph, who could swing wooden clubs. This was something that countless mage players proudly promoted.

However, what happened next shattered the Northland’s fantasy.

The wooden stick in Zhao Xu’s hand, which had originally looked very ordinary, seemed to have divine help as he swung it around. It mysteriously bypassed all the restrictions and landed directly on the body of the mutated Scorpion.

There was also no crisp sound of being bounced back by the tough natural armor.

The ring of light on the outer ring of the wooden stick exploded in an instant, directly cutting through the natural armor and into the body under the outer armor.

High-level Beyonder weapons allowed the wooden club to become extremely large in size, and ghost strike helped Zhao Xu to easily break through his opponent’s defenses.

At the same time.

Mu Zhang’s [fearlessness] ability triggered a wave of damage energy, instantly transmitting it into the body of the mutant Scorpion like lightning, and countless internal tissues were instantly torn apart.

As Zhao Xu swung his staff, he instantly ignited a level 1 spell slot. As a way to activate the power of the runic magic staff, this arcane power instantly burst forth from the body of the staff and slammed heavily into the other party’s body.

This gigantic shapeshifting Scorpion, which was at its peak, suddenly realized that its 75HP, which was enough to look down on mortals, could not be used.

However, it no longer had the strength to say anything as its entire body fell down.

In its last moment, it had noticed the second strike from the other party. However, it had just been burned by the flames and had less than 60HP left. Naturally, it was killed in one hit.

When the two people at the door saw this scene, they were dumbfounded and couldn’t help but rub their eyes.

“The mutated Scorpion was actually on the verge of death, right? That’s why he was killed by the stick?” The warrior Northland could not help but doubt himself.

“Yes, I do.” The Ranger swordfish nodded.

However, although the two of them said so, they were very clear in their hearts.

The fireball spell could kill small to medium sized scorpions, but when facing a large mutated Scorpion, even if the other party failed to resist it, it might not even be able to damage half of its life.

Against the Super large mutated scorpions, the damage was even less than a drizzle, not even a fifth.

Who would have thought that this would be the final result?

“I’ve decided.” The warrior Northland was like an old monk meditating. I’ll post a message when I get back and tell everyone that mages can also do melee damage. I’ll go and delete my account tomorrow and start a new mage account.”

I once gave up being a mage because of this. Today, I’m back as a mage because I witnessed it.

Northland’s eyes were focused on Zhao Xu. He gently picked up the brass treasure chest on the ground and slowly put it into his backpack.
