The Truth of Magic - Chapter 392

392 The mysterious wooden club
the super-giant mutated scorpion’s attack power was only at level 34, but its grappling ability was at level 58 with the enhancement of its strength.

He was immune to the damage from non-magic weapons, but not to the grappling, so it could trap him.

at the same time, he couldn’t avoid the heavy weight of free-falling after grabbing him.

he would be caught and crushed to death on the spot.

!!
The mutated scorpions even had the special ability of ‘tightening’. As long as they were caught, they would suffer damage equivalent to an attack because of this tightening force.

So even though Zhao Xu knew that these mutated scorpions had some sort of magical item like a ” dimensional door ” on them, and even though they were naturally gifted with abilities that normal mutated scorpions didn’t have, he still didn’t know what to do.

he still had to solve the dead end in front of him.

At this moment, Zhao Xu’s eyes were looking into the distance.

Even though time was of the essence, he was still deep in thought.

even if he used the wings of protection to block the grab, he could not withstand the pressure of mount tai.

This was also the reason why the mutated Scorpion was so persistent in chasing him.

but zhao xu still had a trump card.

he could use the secondary agility burst and add it to the teleportation ability of his teleportation boots. the range of his movement was seven meters, which was just enough for him to move out of the range of the mutant scorpion.

however, at that time, he would face the after-effect of the spell for a full 6 seconds, falling into a stun.

the recovery contract that antonya had cast on him earlier could have been automatically removed in this situation.

but zhao xu’s supreme magic control was doing attribute damage too frequently, and he had activated this spell a long time ago in the mist, which had dissipated the energy of the spell.

This also made Zhao Xu realize that if the coverage was too wide, then it would basically be triggered if he couldn’t hold it up for long.

But Zhao Xu couldn’t afford to wait for six seconds, because the Scorpion would flash into the air again and then free fall over Mount Tai, and he would still be turned into meat paste.

Zhao Xu didn’t use rapid explosion at the moment, so while he was thinking, the mutated Scorpion’s two giant Sickles were also closing up at the same time.

in fact, the spider had already moved closer and was waiting to bite zhao xu who was on the ground.

this unusual hatred also caught his attention.

In that split second, Zhao Xu’s mind was completely clear. Countless plans were instantly made clear and integrated into one.

the corners of his mouth curled up slightly because he had already thought of a solution.

since he had thought of a way out, he had to take a step further and turn the tables.

zhao xu just looked at the mutated scorpion and raised his super magic staff.

before the mutated scorpion’s front claws could touch him, zhao xu was using his scepter to block them.

With his 8 points of strength, he was unable to block the closing of The Giant Claw that had more than 30 points of strength.

however, it was beyond everyone’s expectations.

The mutated Scorpion suddenly became weak and powerless. It was as if it had lost all ability to move, and its two giant pincers were easily blocked by Zhao Xu’s staff.

The Touch of Frost!

A spell that could take away 3-18 points of agility as long as a close-combat attack was successful.

Close combat meant that Zhao Xu could ignore his opponent’s natural armor, so he naturally attacked as soon as he touched it.

At the same time, the Super giant scorpion had 35 strength, but it only had 8 dexterity. Zhao Xu didn’t even need to use his Super Magic control, which could increase the casting time, to maximize or double the effect.

In an instant, the Super-large mutated Scorpion became helpless, like a limp corpse.

Zhao Xu, who had lost all his restraints, immediately activated his flying ability and flew away from the shadow that the mutated Scorpion was casting.

“ah!”

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from below.

The mutated scorpions that had lost their ability to move landed on the spider web, where many civilians were still trapped.

Once they landed, it would still be a tragedy.

At this moment, Zhao Xu’s eyes were like lightning. He stretched out two fingers and shouted, ” feather drop!

this spell was originally a way out for zhao xu because it didn’t require any form, so he could still cast it even if he was caught.

However, if Zhao Xu didn’t kill the mutated Scorpion, even if he landed in a grappling position, he wouldn’t be able to move freely without the Level 4 spell, so he would be in a very passive position.

Zhao Xu saw that the mutated Scorpion had stopped falling rapidly because of the feather drop spell, and the damage from the fall had been greatly reduced.

in an instant, he gathered the energy of the spell in his palm, and then shot it like a cannonball toward the mutated spider.

The spell’s extreme effect was the touch of shivering!

This time, Zhao Xu didn’t have to worry about casting speed, so he directly used the most efficient version.

a total of 18 points of agility were drawn, instantly causing the mutated spider with 15 agility to fall, similarly falling into a state of paralysis.

at this moment, the two super-large creatures had both been subdued by zhao xu, and they were stuck in a helpless state that would last for more than ten rounds.

at this time, because they couldn’t move, they could only rely on their natural armor to defend passively.

Zhao Xu didn’t even need to do anything. The low-level adventurers who were running around all came over and followed Zhao Xu’s instructions to attack the weak points of these two insect-like creatures.

&Nbsp; immediately, a disgusting liquid gushed out, and the two insect-like creatures ‘lives were slowly being taken away.

12 rounds of time was enough to do a lot of things.

Even if Vivian was alone, with 12 brainless output space, she could kill a big one by force. Now, with the help of dozens of adventurers, it was not a problem.

At this time, the teams that had fled to the northern Alliance had regrouped. most of them came from different family forces, and some were even single-handed, relying on the tacit cooperation of adventurers.

finally, under the threat just now, everyone felt like they were going to live and die together. for a while, they helped each other set up camp again, so that the entire team of night guards regained their original order, and the hearts of the people slowly calmed down.

only a few unlucky ones had their bones crushed by the fallen mutated scorpions and had to recuperate for a while.

“Sir, these are the items that the two mutated insects were trying to fight for.” At this moment, an old man who was famous enough was recommended by the group of escapees to talk to Zhao Xu and the others.

As he listened to the man’s description, Zhao Xu looked at the locked box and slowly understood the whole story.

Miraculously, this group of adventurers had nothing to do at night. They inexplicably found their way into a mysterious nest, and then a group of small and medium-sized mutated scorpions suddenly appeared.

A few adventurers who had many hands quickly grabbed a treasure chest and ran.

in the end, the few adventurers who ran back to the main group were caught up by the super-large mutant scorpion that tore through the air. without saying a word, they were swallowed into the load and turned into dinner.

However, they didn’t expect that the Super-large mutated Spider that had been lying in wait for the merchants in the vicinity from the start would be attracted by this treasure chest and jump out to snatch it. That was why Zhao Xu and the others saw what happened behind them.

“You guys don’t want it anymore?” Zhao Xu saw that this rectangular brass treasure chest wasn’t small, but there was a limit to its weight. It probably wasn’t that heavy after taking out the chest.

When he heard Zhao Xu’s question, the old man quickly lowered his head and said, “it was you who saved us, my Lord. This treasure should naturally be yours.

in reality, the old man was still feeling a little uneasy. logically speaking, they had all been saved by zhao xu, so if the other party was just a paladin, he would still be able to go back on his word.

The person in front of them looked like a terrifying mage from the legends, so they had to pay a fee.

now that there was a treasure chest of unknown origin, it was a good opportunity for them to present it to buddha.

As long as the mage accepted the treasure chest, it would mean that he had accepted their reward.

they thought about how a single treasure chest had attracted the killing of a super-large mutated scorpion and mutated spider. they were looking forward to the treasure chest’s contents, but they were also afraid of the disaster that the treasure chest might bring.

Especially since the first few people who brought back the treasure chest had already died.

they were a group of people who were running for their lives, and it would be difficult to split the treasure chests when they saw too many.

thinking about it this way, giving it to the mage who killed the two mutated insects as a reward was the best way.

Therefore, after the old man suggested it, it received everyone’s agreement.

zhao xu also nodded silently.

He had saved ordinary civilians in his previous life, so he naturally knew what it meant.

He didn’t think too much about it when he made his move. Although it didn’t seem like it could offset the reward this time, he was happy to take it since it was a windfall.

Zhao Xu used a detection spell to check it out and realized that it was actually a mysterious magic box.

In addition to the extra lock, it was also specially locked with a level 2 spell,’secret lock’.

this spell would increase the difficulty of opening the box.

As for the mutated Scorpion that had no intelligence, it was naturally helpless against the box since it could not be opened by brute force.

zhao xu didn’t say anything else and used a “knock” spell to remove the “secret lock” spell. then, he thought about it and based on the pattern on the box, he figured out that this was a hint that the box was locked.

However, with his current intelligence, it took him about ten minutes to crack it.

this was when they heard a tick, and they knew that zhao xu had unlocked the box, so everyone looked over.

even though this brass box already belonged to zhao xu, it didn’t stop them from being curious.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was a little cautious. After he told the people who were approaching to back off, he carefully opened the box as he was prepared to activate the rapid-fire bomb to escape at any moment.

There were too many stories of traps exploding after the box was opened.

Fortunately, everything was fine.

there was a wooden stick lying inside.

Immediately, the people who had gathered to watch shook their heads in disappointment.

only zhao xu was holding back the waves of emotions that were surging through his heart.

he had seen this wooden stick before in the treasure vault that antonya had taken him to.
