211 Chapter 210 negative energy package
Fortune foresight was a spell that would last for one minute per the level of the caster. It would only be activated when Zhao Xu decided to activate the spell’s effects.
It was the same as giving Zhao Xu two chances to try, and he would choose the best one.
although it could fail, it would unconsciously smooth out the entire probability curve.
Attack, skill, immunity, and attributes basically covered the four most common types of checks for adventurers.
in the past, even an old hand would be worried that the horse would lose its footing. Especially for an adventurer’s life, the moment they lost their footing, it would mean death.
but it was different for zhao xu, who had this spell.
however, if his “performance evaluation” was still rank 1 after he cast this spell, he would only be unlucky enough to be rank 1 both times.
This was equivalent to reducing the probability of the worst performance of the 1st rank from one in 20 to almost one in 400.
at the same time, he increased the probability of performing at level 20, which was the best tier, from one in twenty to one in ten.
In the past, Zhao Xu had used a level 1 Bard spell, ” immediate assistance, ” during a skill check. At that time, he had to overrule the result of the check and check again.
The principles were different, but they were all equally overbearing.
It was also from these spells that mages slowly embarked on the path of controlling fate.
the landing point of the battle between the two sides was no longer limited to the number of points. it had even involved the mechanism of the world.
Zhao Xu was thinking about this as he walked towards the entrance of the tunnel.
At the end, he finally saw the scene in front of the new entrance.
he was currently standing on a high platform. six meters below him was a huge square of corpses. the ground was filled with all kinds of white bones, as if it was a cemetery that had been dug up.
at the same time, there were more than a hundred skeleton warriors in the field. in the position of their pupils, there was a soul flame burning fiercely.
The skeletons patrolled the area with iron shields and scimitars, ready to kill any creatures that appeared.
But Zhao Xu’s gaze first fell on the stone tablet on the side of the platform. There was a religious text written on it.
Zhao Xu took a quick look and didn’t find it to be very complicated, so he used his own knowledge of religion to decipher it.
but after he successfully connected to the knowledge source and received the feedback, zhao xu looked at the content and frowned.
The content mentioned that there was another high platform directly opposite the high platform, and one could climb up with the hanging rope hanging below the corpse square.
after climbing up the platform and entering, they would be able to reach the teleportation gate leading to the “pit of the scavengers” demiplane.
the problem was that a special key was needed to activate the portal. and the key was hidden under the countless skeletons in this square.
That was why he had to take the risk of being hunted down by the undead creatures and endure the discomfort to find the teleport portal key among the skeletons.
this wasn’t even the ‘half plane’.
Just the appetizer to the interdimensional space was already so difficult.
But Zhao Xu could understand why. If he wanted to get the iron will specialty and get A +2 bonus on his will immunity, he would naturally need to have extraordinary perseverance.
According to Lu duo, the interdimensional space was formed by the death God’s resentment, so it was understandable that the test involved undead creatures.
In his previous life, Zhao Xu had been through many battlefields that were filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so he didn’t really feel anything for these dried up bones.
the main problem was that the text recorded that the square below had a negative energy field.
It was just like how Zhao Xu had killed those skeleton warriors in the combat strength testing field. If the arrows could not kill them, the skeletons would be healed quickly under the effect of the negative energy field, and they would be back to full health.
Arthur had six inner dimensions, which were divided into the elemental earth, air, fire, and water, as well as the positive and negative energy dimensions.
the square below had an interface that led to the negative energy plane. the energy that seeped out from that plane could continuously heal these skeletons.
the level 6 divine spell, damage spell, that zhao xu had gotten from the cabinet in the underground shrine was the purest form of negative energy.
There were even undead creatures that were seriously injured and dying. Zhao Xu just had to cast a ” severe injury ” spell on them and they would be able to stand up again and recover.
this negative energy was healing for the undead creatures, but to zhao xu, it was damaging.
the intensity of the negative energy was maintained at about 10 points per round.
Zhao Xu was now at Level 4, and his health points had only increased from 18 to 23. If he were to really stand there, even if the skeletons didn’t attack him, he wouldn’t be able to last more than three rounds.
And searching for the key wasn’t something that could be done in one or two moves.
at this moment, zhao xu was looking at the dozens of undead creatures and slowly thinking.
even if these undead creatures died, they would be resurrected and summoned again in the second round under the effect of the energy field, so he didn’t intend to destroy them.
Fortunately, he was a mage. Otherwise, even if a warrior was strong enough to ignore the undead creatures ‘attacks, he would still have a headache over the 10 points of damage per round.
Unless he had enough health points and sufficient healing methods.
With Wang Ningwei’s highly cost-effective “healing belt,” three 2d8 (2-16HP) heals would only heal 40HP.
But after Zhao Xu thought about it for a while, he wasn’t too nervous.
Even if the strength of Level 1 and Level 2 spells was limited, with enough support, he could still come up with a lot of tricks.
Just like how Zhao Xu could cast spells to resist fire elemental damage, he could cast a level 2 spell, protection from negative energy, to deal with negative energy.
Zhao Xu could reduce 10HP of any negative energy damage he received with each round, and the spell itself could last for 10 minutes for every level the caster was at. All in all, he could use it for almost an hour.
Then, with his ring of invisibility, he could more or less rummage through the garbage under the eyes of the undead creatures.
but zhao xu didn’t plan on using this spell.
in the space of the final scroll, he had learned all the second-circle spells, from arcane to divine, so he knew that there was more than one way to deal with the undead creatures.
this was also why zhao xu was far stronger than other players, and he had more choices.
Moreover, by relying on his multi-talented spellcaster and bizarre foresight, he could also make use of these choices. There would not be a situation where he could only watch and sigh because he had not prepared the spells after learning them.
that was the second circle spell, ” undying shroud “!
at this moment, zhao xu took out some bone fragments from his backpack. he had taken them from the destroyed undead creatures.
in reality, dust was fine too. zhao xu could even use the materials he found on the spot.
in any case, zhao xu was very reluctant to learn the [ material exemption ] specialty, so he had to always bring all kinds of materials with him or be ready to cast the [ summoning spell material ] spell at any time.
on the other hand, the other players didn’t know many spells, so they could easily tell what materials they needed.
after he finished casting this spell, a mottled white light surrounded zhao xu’s body.
they kept attacking zhao xu’s body, causing his body to instantly turn pale and ancient, and then it returned to normal.
Zhao Xu immediately used the leap of faith.
while he was in mid-air, he quickly chanted the spell, featherfall!
Then, his entire body suddenly became light, and the gravity only took effect for one or two seconds before it lost its effect.
His speed was like jumping down from a one-meter platform. There was a certain speed, but it was stuck at this upper limit. In the end, he landed at a uniform speed.
Although he let out a muffled sound, the recoil from this speed was not enough to injure him.
After this sound rang out, the few skeletons that were either dumb or deaf turned around and looked at Zhao Xu. Then, they went back to their original state and dragged their scimitars along as they moved forward.
Zhao Xu also let out a sigh of relief.
this proved that there was no problem with his spell.
[ adventurer zhongxia has been affected by the negative energy field under the effect of ” undying shroud “. received rapid medical treatment 10 ]
immediately, this notification appeared on his dynamic panel.
This was the power of the spell. It used a layer of invisible negative energy to cover Zhao Xu up, so undead creatures that didn’t have any intelligence, such as skeletons, would see Zhao Xu as one of their own.
at the same time, because zhao xu’s body had been affected by the spell, he would be seen as an undead creature during the spell’s one hour duration.
Healing spells would hurt him, and damage spells would heal him. It was completely reversed.
That was why he could get 10 points of rapid healing due to the existence of the negative energy field, which was equivalent to 10HP recovery per round.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu felt an even more powerful wave of negative energy surge through his body. It wrapped around him tightly and pressed down on him.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you have been affected by ” caused light injury, ” ” caused medium injury, ” ” caused heavy injury, ” ” caused fatal injury, ” and ” heavy injury. current status is normal. ]
This message suddenly popped up, and Zhao Xu’s entire body trembled when he saw it.
He cursed the stone tablet in his heart. It was a trap. He had almost died here.
in addition to the negative energy field, there was also a special magic attack hidden here!
Once a creature entered the venue, it would receive the row of damage spells.
However, before he could sigh, he suddenly felt a special force approaching his back.
