390 Chapter 389-traveler ambushed

When Zhao Xu heard the strange noise, he and Vivian looked at each other. They both knew that something was wrong.

they could immediately tell that it was not an earthquake.

instead, it was the tremor caused by the heavy and solid monster crashing into the ground.

zhao xu was already covered in spells such as high wizard armor, which would last for a long time. in terms of physical damage, he already had enough defense.

thinking of this, he immediately cast a level 3 spell that he had just consolidated recently, ” insight warfare. ”

because this spell could be dispelled at any time, it did not meet the ‘lasting’ characteristic, so he only made himself suffer 1 attribute damage at the cost of using metamagic control to match this spell with the delayed spell specialty.

even though there were quite a few spells that could be used to sustain a spell’s duration, zhao xu had to consider the fact that the spells were limited in terms of their practicality, so he usually only had a few spells that could last a long time on him.

Most of them focused on defense, which was in line with his idea of surviving first and then counterattacking.

but because the spell ‘body sacrifice’ could make his spellcaster level rise to level 12 (arcane) and level 11 (divine), zhao xu would usually use it for a long time.

the duration of each level of the inspect spell was 10 minutes, and with zhao xu’s level as a spellcaster, it would naturally be 120 minutes for a total of two hours.

Combined with the Extend Spell specialty, which could double the time by one level, it suddenly became four hours. Although it was not as exaggerated as 24 hours, tonight’s battle was enough to cover it.

this spell could be said to be the normal spell in a spell battle.

On the one hand, the duration of the inspect skill could increase his identify spell by 5 tiers.

At the same time, when his spell identification level exceeded rank 5, it could also automatically sense if there was any spell being cast within a 30-meter radius, and it had an innate spell radar sensor.

From then on, he got rid of the limitations of using his ” sight ” and ” hearing ” to judge spellcasting.

if he and the caster had visual effects, he could still identify the spell.

But what really determined the importance of this spell was that while the spell was cast, Zhao Xu could instantly use up all of the powers of his Warlock insight, just like how his God’s steps used up energy to activate super long distance walking.

In exchange, he could freely perform a ‘counterspell’, even without a visual effect.

casting it freely meant that he didn’t have to waste the ” casting time ” required for the counterspell.

And Zhao Xu, who had many spell casters, could cast the same spell as any Level 3 spell to counter it.

Therefore, within the duration of the spell, no spellcaster within 30 meters could silently cast a spell to attack him.

at the same time, he would also counter and cancel the spells cast by the other party.

So, after putting on this layer of insight, Zhao Xu also gained an ability that could be used against spell casters. He was no longer like before, where he could only rely on his naked eye to detect the arrival of spells.

even though vivian had just taken off her armor, it was a good thing that she had only taken off a small part of her full-body armor. with zhao xu’s simple cooperation, she quickly put it back on.

the two of them immediately walked out of their cloaks.

out of caution, vivian patted the floating mirror shield beside her.

In an instant, the extremely smooth surface of the shield, which could be used as a mirror, rose in the air and blocked Vivian’s front.

with the +2 value of the ” floating ” ability, the shield freed vivian from her hands and allowed her to hold the holy avenger with all her strength.

Holding it with two hands could better display the strength of the damage increase, and it was more than half as high as one-handed.

therefore, most of the time, soldiers had to consider whether to improve their defense with a shield or to directly hold military weapons with both hands in pursuit of higher damage output.

“It’s really big.”

zhao xu walked out of the tent and immediately understood what had just happened.

At the foot of the hill where the Boulder was located, near the path of the escape team, there was a super-giant mutated Scorpion and another super-giant mutated Spider in a stalemate. The dull sound just now was made by their fight.

The typical characteristic of these insect-type creatures was that they did not have intelligence, not zero.

they would rely on their instincts to hunt and attack nearby creatures.

” they’ve already climbed to their own ceiling, yet they’re still fighting to the death. it’s strange. ” zhao xu asked in surprise.

The mutated scorpions and mutated spiders were originally ” super small ” with a challenge rating of only a quarter.

it was only after they had crossed six body types that they had evolved from a super-small half health die to a super-large 32HD (health die) and 40HD super-large one.

zhao xu had reached level 32, which was above the legendary level, and he just happened to have 32HD.

Meanwhile, Vivian, who was beside him, only had the 6HD of the original succubus. With the addition of the level 3 Paladin level, it was only 9HD.

It could be said that these super-large mutated spiders and mutated scorpions had a challenge level of around level 11 and had hundreds of HP.

“Guild Master, can I go and save them?”

Vivian pleaded. She immediately saw the civilians wailing in pain.

the two super-large mutated spiders and mutated scorpions that were fighting at the foot of the hill were now staring at each other, looking for an opportunity to break through and attack.

Although their target wasn’t the fleeing crowd, their weight was more than 10 tons, and their bodies were 20 meters long. Any movement that was too big would crush the surrounding trees and branches, and even a stomp would send gravel flying.

zhao xu only took a quick glance and saw that more than ten innocent civilians were injured. they fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

However, even more civilians were screaming, dragging their limited belongings into the distance, and running for their lives with their families and companions.

However, their progress was insignificant compared to the Super-large creatures.

as for the merchant teams that had recruited adventurers and had the ability to fight back, they could only let the hired adventurers transfer the goods and property that filled their carriages.

Even if they wanted to fight back, they were powerless.

two monsters with a challenge level of 11 was not something an ordinary party could deal with.

Even if a Big Town encountered it, without high-level adventurers, they would have to send a large number of soldiers to form a battle formation to resist.

The current crowd of escapees naturally couldn’t do this.

when the civilians saw that they were accidentally injured by the two super-large mutated insects, they cried and waved, crying for help.

however, they could still rely on their weapons to kill the super-small mutated insects.

However, these super-large creatures were like walking buildings of seven or eight stories. Just by standing there, they had an imposing aura.

although they didn’t have the natural ” ferocious ” ability of the dragon, their breath was enough to make a group of civilians who only had branches and wooden sticks as weapons tremble in fear.

At this moment, Zhao Xu heard Vivian’s request.

This was also a requirement for her faction.

If he didn’t do anything, he wouldn’t be a Paladin.

however, protecting zhao xu was a higher level of conviction in her mind, and this conviction even suppressed her instinctive urge to attack.

Zhao Xu didn’t plan on stopping them. He said to Vivian, ” “Go on.”

Vivian chuckled and looked into the distance. She luxuriously cast the level Seven spell ” advanced teleportation “, which was also an error-free teleportation.

She instantly used this spell that could cross thousands of miles, and in just a few thousand meters, she appeared on the battlefield below.

Mages, for example, would mostly use ” random door ” spells for such short distances.

Zhao Xu raised his head and looked into the deep night sky.

In his previous life, after everyone had transmigrated, they had naturally encountered many of these dangers. There were too many monsters lurking in the jungle.

even if the temple had sent priests to protect them, it was completely inadequate for seven billion humans.

Naturally, many innocent civilians on earth became food for the monsters.

They came and went like the wind, constantly plundering.

this was something zhao xu had to consider in the future.

At that time, only Arthur’s players could stand up and protect the civilians of earth. However, even though there were many of them, when they were spread out, millions or even tens of millions of them were not enough.

Therefore, the players could only organize themselves and work together to protect their loved ones.

even the kindest and most loving priest could not stop this tendency to protect his loved ones.

it was also from then on that the players ‘” consensus ” became the ” order ” for the people of new earth.

under the attack of countless monsters, the power class slowly completed the transition.

No matter how much wealth they had on earth, after coming to Arthur with nothing, even if their own clan was powerful and could organize a militia, it was still not enough to be swallowed by these gigantic monsters in one bite.

Only high-level players could stop them.

a thousand soldiers can not compare to a single general, this was the truth that the earth’s commoners had used their blood to understand.

The moment Vivian completed the advanced teleportation spell, she had already appeared in the middle of the two super-large insects.

Seeing the appearance of the Paladin in silver armor, the civilians nearby couldn’t help but cheer.

Her sword attack was too stunning, and everyone was looking forward to it.
