The Truth of Magic - Chapter 424
424 The harvest from the slaughter
The speed at which his opponent threw the little Golden Ball was extremely fast. Zhao Xu didn’t even have time to react before the little ball was already right under him.
in the blink of an eye, even though zhao xu couldn’t tell what that little golden ball was, he was able to sort out a few possibilities in his mind.
He kept guessing and overthrowing it.
The ball was indeed not far behind him, but it also meant that it was not far from the leader of the other side.
!!
In the end, Zhao Xu gave up on the other options.
He didn’t know what the little Golden Ball was, so he couldn’t cast the spell.
Of course, the most brainless way was naturally to cast a spell to isolate all damage, such as the ” Rainbow Magic ball ”
He responded to changes by staying the same.
The problem was that he didn’t know how to.
and at this moment, the little golden ball rolled to zhao xu’s feet after hitting the wall behind him.
The kinetic energy could even roll back to the other side.
But Zhao Xu noticed from the corner of his eye that the moment the little Golden Ball touched the wall, it started to change shape. It was now more like a barrel of explosives that was about to go off.
“Lesser agility burst!”
The flow of time was instantly cut off at this moment, and Zhao Xu’s eyes seemed to have turned a little whiter.
As time slowed down, Zhao Xu’s emotions started to fade away bit by bit.
he immediately turned his body to the side and pulled his leg back. he didn’t look around to find a direction to run in, but directly kicked the little golden ball under his foot with force.
He shot out.
Shi Guang returned to normal.
Under the team leader’s disbelieving gaze, the small Golden Ball ineffably activated a huge kinetic energy and shot towards the other team members behind him.
He clearly didn’t see any movement from the other party!
“No…”
The team leader didn’t even have time to make a sound of regret.
A huge heat wave burst out from behind him, and the burning flames swept through the entire secret room. The magic flames rushed to the stone walls and ceiling, burning everything.
Fireball!
It was an absolute distance of exactly six meters!
In this room that was more than eight meters deep, the monstrous, man-devouring wave of fire stopped right behind the team leader.
It didn’t even burn the corner of his clothes.
Everything was strictly in accordance with the operating principles of the spell.
If the little Golden Ball that had just exploded with the power of the fireball spell had exploded on Zhao Xu and the others, the explosion would have just happened to land in front of the other team members, so they wouldn’t have been hurt at all.
In this secret chamber, the radius of the explosion was the distance between life and death.
Zhao Xu closed his eyes right after he heard the other team’s pained cries in the fire.
the after-effects of swift power burst began to invade his mind, and a dizzy feeling seeped into his thoughts, making him lose all his subsequent movements.
Fortunately, he still had teammates.
This was the reason why Wuyue had Vivian, who was not as strong as him, to protect him.
When deathtrap cast Swift burst, he was able to buy Zhao Xu some precious six seconds of time, since he still couldn’t avoid the negative effects.
When she saw this, Vivian just glanced at Zhao Xu and immediately reacted. She raised the Holy Avenger in her hand and stabbed it towards the warrior.
“evil-vanquishing slash!”
The cold iron sword cut through the air with a sharp light.
The spiritual light of the good camp was faintly attached to the blade, as if it had been tempered by a thousand hammers to incinerate all the sins in the world.
A blow broke the chest.
This warrior, who had just been trying to negotiate with Zhao Xu and the others and then suddenly changed his attitude and tried to kill them, had a look of disbelief on his face. He was also in so much pain from the wound on his chest.
He wanted to cough out blood and wail, but his entire alveoli had been soaked in blood, and he could no longer make a sound.
He had never thought that after the other party had killed several of his teammates, he would brazenly kill him without a word of nonsense.
Even in the last few moments of his life, he was still thinking.
Why was the longsword in the hands of this armored and silver-helmeted woman so sharp that it could easily pierce through his armor?
“Thump.”
As the warrior lost his life and fell to the ground, Zhao Xu’s entire body started to regain consciousness, and his dizziness completely disappeared.
After Vivian gently wiped the blood on the sword with a cloth, she put the level 20 Paladin weapon back into the scabbard.
“For you, President.”
vivian handed the golden chain with the golden ball hanging on it to zhao xu.
It was this thing that had turned into a fireball after being thrown, killing all the teammates behind the opponent.
Otherwise, Vivian alone would not be able to take out more than ten people in an instant.
“This is the fireball necklace.”
Zhao Xu explained, ” I’ve heard of this before, but I didn’t think I’d actually see it today.
“A fireball?” Although Vivian was born in the territory of the mother of demons, Cang ye, she could be considered to be very knowledgeable.
However, things that couldn’t harm Devils were trash in the abyss, so it was normal that she didn’t know much about them.
“Yes, there are several types of necklaces like this. There are three to nine small golden balls attached to them that deal damage. The price of the entire necklace also went from a little more than 1000 gold coins to nearly 9000 gold coins.”
“What’s the advantage of this thing over the fireball wand?” Vivian asked in surprise.
“No, so usually only the younger generation can afford to play it.” Zhao Xu laughed and said, “the basic damage of the fireball spell is 1 to 6 points (1d6), and the damage can be stacked with each level of the spellcaster. For a typical Level-5 spellcaster, that is, a Level-5 fireball wand with five stacks of damage, fifty shots would only cost a little more than 11000 gold coins (5 – 30 damage, 5d6).”
“that’s much more affordable than a few necklaces that can be sold for thousands of gold coins. this necklace can only catch people off guard.”
Of course, if the other party had just pulled out his wand and pointed it at them, Zhao Xu and Lu Li would have attacked him without a second thought.
“Even a Level-10 fireball magic wand would only cost 22500 gold coins (10 – 60 damage, 10d6). the one in the other person’s hand should be the 3rd tier one that costs 4500 gold coins.”
Zhao Xu was carefully looking at the fireball necklace in his hand. I think he just threw the level 7 fireball (7 – 42 damage, expected 25 points). There are two level 5 and four level 3 fireballs left.
this person is too confident. Does he think he can kill us with this? ” Vivian could not help but shake her head.
A normal Level-7 fireball spell did not have an extreme or powerful effect.
Even if Vivian failed to Dodge, she would still be able to survive with her vitality.
High health points were the confidence of high-level players against low-level players. They had a higher tolerance for mistakes.
Zhao Xu just smiled at this.
It seemed that although Vivian was an upright Paladin, she was not very good at the small details.
However, the moment he lost his ability to move, the other party was able to kill the enemy decisively. He was quite satisfied with this kind of basic combat instinct.
“Vivian, fireball has a special feature. Once the wearer of this necklace is hit by the magic flame, he has to Dodge it with all his might, otherwise he may detonate all the remaining gold balls. Of course, the wielder can also give up, which would be equivalent to self-detonation.”
Upon hearing this, Vivian’s eyes could not help but turn cold, and her originally charming aura became a little cold.
The other party had just thrown one because he couldn’t pick all six and throw them out again.
That was because it didn’t explain why they didn’t send an entire necklace over.
A Level-7 fireball spell was not too bad.
However, if the remaining six were to be detonated at the same time, the total damage would be 29d6, which was about 100 points of magic fire damage.
vivian, who only had 10 points in fire resistance, and zhao xu, who was a normal human, would definitely have been burned to death by the high-temperature magic flames on the spot.
At this time, Vivian could not help but feel a lingering fear. She realized that she had just walked through the gate of the abyss.
“But won’t he die like this?” Vivian immediately noticed that something was wrong.
In order to not give them any time to react, the other side walked over and threw the metal ball behind them.
This also meant that the warrior was also within the range of the fireball spell.
“That’s why I have to take a look,”
Zhao Xu walked over to the captain who had been killed by Vivian’s evil-vanquishing slash.
At the same time, he handed the fireball necklace in his hand to Vivian. hold on to this necklace, just in case.
Vivian, who was about to refuse to show that she did not know how to use ordinary magic items, suddenly hesitated. She silently put the necklace away and put it on her neck.
“En, in the future, if something goes wrong, you can also throw these little golden balls. It’s better than nothing. However, when you throw it, you have to calculate the distance of the explosion with a six-meter radius. Don’t hurt yourself by mistake.”
As he said this, Zhao Xu rolled up the sleeves of the dead soldier.
The two of them immediately looked at the small and medium-sized fire elemental figures on the warrior’s arm.
“As expected.” Zhao Xu said emotionally.
“What’s wrong?” Although Vivian felt that the mysterious pattern on it was somewhat familiar, she could not see the mystery behind it.
this is an immunity to fire. Zhao Xu saw that the small pattern was starting to fade away, and he analyzed, ” “I’m afraid that as long as we can kill these elemental creatures … Then, you will be able to gain the corresponding immunity to elemental damage.”
“At the beginning, we didn’t get any rewards when we cleared the small and medium stages because the small and medium stages” rewards were taken by this team first. unless they clear the game, these immunity abilities will definitely not refresh.”
“My guess is that no matter if they are small or medium sized, they are all immune to the same element, but the duration will be different. And this Captain has fire elemental immunity, which is why he dared to come up with the fireball necklace and ‘die together’ with us.”
Suddenly, Zhao Xu noticed that the brass treasure chest in his backpack was starting to move.
He took it out right away, and the elemental runes on the four corpses all glowed. They then floated out of the corpses and slowly flew into the treasure chest in Zhao Xu’s hands.
The eight runes only filled up a small part of the pattern.
Zhao Xu thought about how there would be large, super large, giant, elder-type, and even legendary Prince-grade monsters in the next elemental family, and he couldn’t help but get a headache.
But he was also a little excited. Out of the five treasure chests, Zhao Xu had only deciphered two of them. He still hadn’t deciphered the password for the other three.
The treasure chest that had absorbed the elemental runes was the fourth one, and it was also the last three that had not been deciphered to retrieve the treasures inside.
if the evolution was successful, he would not only get the treasure chest but also the treasure inside.
At this moment, Zhao Xu suddenly stood up and said, ” come on, Vivian. Let’s loot the place first.
“ah?”
Vivian almost didn’t know what to say, but she immediately followed Zhao Xu’s gaze and looked over.
The corpses of the adventurers on the ground were not the kind of players who would be resurrected after their corpses disappeared.
this meant that all of their equipment now belonged to zhao xu.
Killing and setting fire to the gold belt.
This saying was even crueler and more profound in Arthur, where the strong preyed on the weak.
Sometimes, killing a group of adventurers of the same kind could actually obtain better, more suitable equipment than from monsters.
