When Zhao Xu went online again the next day, he found that the atmosphere in the entire wilderness on the other side was suddenly different. There were many more guards patrolling the situation.
Many priests and mages appeared in Zhao Xu's sight one after another, as if they were extremely prepared for the invasion of the "Deep Hell Demon".
According to common sense, there are more than one "Phantom Demon", but considering that there is an unactivated altar hidden behind it, this is quite meaningful.
No matter how high the Rose Cross raises the bar, the residents of Arthur will not be surprised when faced with this demonic crisis.
In the abyss and hell, those creatures that can successfully sneak into Arthur's main material plane are ecstatic in their hearts when facing these countless Arthur creatures, and those souls are like supreme delicacies.
A devil who can kill honestly and leave after collecting a group of souls still knows how to restrain himself.
Most of them have bigger intentions, directly recruiting local people in Arthur to expand their power, then causing war, and finally harvesting the souls in the war. This is also the most common method used by devils.
Lawful evil is more like a conspirator who creates war than a random murderer type of chaotic evil.
Therefore, every time the Good God Church takes measures to prepare for the visitors in purgatory, they are prepared in every possible way.
In the previous life, the entire Northland would fall, leading to the final "Battle of Demon Sealing". This was also because a passage to Arthur's main material plane appeared in the abyss and hell at that time.
At the end of the war, the two sides started fighting around the entrance of the passage. The final results were extremely tragic. Basically, many men born in certain years in the village died at that point.
After Zhao Xu received the mission from Lei An, he hurried away with the two women, leaving behind a group of novice mages standing there with confused faces.
"Mr. Mage, why can they go on their mission first while we have to wait here?" Jiang Shan stood up and asked.
In his capacity, Leian did not need to be responsible for arranging manpower. However, he needed to coordinate the scene here, so naturally he had to stay here and take charge of the base camp. He just came here specifically to make arrangements for Zhao Xu.
At this time, Lei An saw Jiang Shan's face and immediately took out an evaluation form written by Zhao Xu from his pocket, which contained a brief short-term evaluation of the 18 members.
Leian glanced at Jiangshan's appearance, then matched the names on the paper and asked, "Can you say it again?"
At this time, Jiang Shan thought that things had turned around and asked quickly, "I asked them, why can they go ahead to carry out the search mission, but we still have to wait here? Isn't this because they are taking advantage?"
Leian just promised everyone that as long as they can successfully find the clues to the altar, they will be rewarded with magic items.
As soon as the term "magic items" came out, these novice mages who were already in good spirits were immediately shocked.
This is probably the most rewarding mission they have heard of since they entered Arthur.
Therefore, the staff member responsible for diversion naturally became the target of their inquiry.
"Because he is handsome," Leian said briefly, "and the two female mages are also good-looking. I liked him, so I assigned them to do the task first."
Hearing this, Jiang Shan almost choked. He finally regained his composure, and was about to ask, but found Leian looking at him with a smile on his face, and he immediately closed his mouth with a shiver in his heart. ���
Zhao Xu on the other side was walking along the stream. Their goal this time was the sentry tower in front of the stream.
Zhao Xu roughly understood it after using his knowledge and skills to conduct a test and reading a lot of regional materials provided by Lei An.
This area was originally a military camp, and the sentry tower was built based on it. However, it was later said that the military camp was haunted, and many soldiers in training became seriously ill.
The commander who was responsible for training new recruits at that time ignored this matter, which led to an increasing number of deserters. Finally one day, the commander died unexpectedly, and the soldiers stationed in the area dispersed. Slowly, the area began to collapse. It was abandoned, with only the sentry tower still exposed to the wind and sun.
Zhao Xu walked at the front as the team leader, while Wang Ningwei and Eswig followed Zhao Xu while flipping through the information.
At this time, Eswig carefully checked the topographic map of the wilderness on the other side, and then he realized how different the world was.
"Captain, do you know the details of the 'Phantom Fiend'?" Eswig asked.
Zhao Xu was retying the crossbow arrow in his hand. After hearing Eswig's question, he asked in surprise: "Isn't there a record on that piece of paper?"
"It's just the simplest data table on paper. I'm actually more curious about the other party's part-time job situation," Eswig said.
It is indeed true that a pit fiend with 18 HD and a pit fiend with a level 20 wizard are completely different concepts.
"However, if we encounter him, we will die immediately. You know it is meaningless no matter how strong it is." Zhao Xu said.
Not to mention anything else, just the simplest and most common "Aura of Fear" among the special abilities of "The Hell Fiend" is enough to suppress many ordinary players to the point of being unable to move.
Just like Zhao Xu fell into a state of fear because of the golden dragon roaring in the sky that day.
Not to mention that the opponent "" also has various spell-like abilities, which are enough to beat Zhao Xu up.
Even these devils themselves have the supernatural ability to "summon devils". Once it is shown again, they will be beaten by a group.
With every additional devil on the battlefield, the difficulty increases exponentially.
Apart from anything else, even encountering the little monster temporarily summoned by the devil would be a huge challenge for this team.
So Zhao Xu didn't have the idea of doing it himself. After he found the target, he would go back and notify Lei An.
In his previous life, he had seen the "Deep Hell Fiend" in the Demon-Sealing Battlefield. He had seen with his own eyes how the other party cut up humans and harvested them like vegetables. It was not at the same order of magnitude.
"Mr. Zhongxia, do you know the attack pattern of the 'Deep Hell Demon'?" Wang Ningwei suddenly asked.
Zhao Xu immediately wondered why they wouldn't fight.
However, he immediately explained: "Generally, in the first round, the opponent uses fear aura to suppress it, and then uses plastic energy spells, from fireball to meteor burst. Then the rest of the time is basically just harvesting."
After hearing Zhao Xu's explanation, the two women nodded.
And Zhao Xu also understood that the other party was making preventive plans for the next chance encounter.
But facing these powerful alien creatures, the only thing they can do is run away.
The "Abyssal Fiend" has a damage reduction of 15/good. Unless Zhao Xu and others use good weapons, all damage caused will be deducted by 15 HP.
Those with low hit rate but high number of attacks are extremely deadly, so most warriors buy magic weapons by themselves when they have money.
But seriously, the "Abyssal Fiend" has a characteristic that gives them a headache, that is, its spell resistance is as high as 32.
This means that even if Zhao Xu has a caster level of level 6, he still cannot break through the opponent's spell resistance.
However, Zhao Xu was very rational at this time. He had already considered this yesterday and said, "I prepared 'Flash Dust'. If something is really wrong, I will just throw this spell away and run away."
After hearing Zhao Xu's words, Wang Ningwei also nodded: "Mr. Zhongxia, the flash dust spell is indeed useful. Mr. Zhongxia, if you really run away, don't worry about us two."
Flash Dust is a famous second-level spell. In addition to breaking the invisibility state, the main reason is that it does not require spell resistance. At the same time, if the spell fails to save, the target will become blinded.
When they heard Zhao Xu preparing this spell, both women knew that Zhao Xu was more or less prepared to run away if something went wrong. Otherwise, leaving a resurrection stone here would be so expensive.
Slowly, Zhao Xu and the two women walked for nearly half an hour before finally reaching their destination, the abandoned sentry tower.
The sentry tower is a total of five stories high and is basically made of red bricks. After many years of history, the outermost outer wall has almost fallen off.
At the same time, in the wasteland in front of the sentry tower, weeds and even various trees became more lush, as if they were more fully nourished.
This made Zhao Xu couldn't help but have bad suspicions in his heart.
Even if it is a magic greenhouse, the energy supply is balanced and there will be no signs of being particularly strong.
The only explanation is that there is special energy transmission.
Zhao Xu chose this place in the first place precisely because of the special legend. It sounded like a devil had appeared to cause trouble, which made the military camp dilapidated.
At the same time, there was no one here, which was a bit beyond Zhao Xu's expectation. He thought that there would be a lot of attention here.
"Then let's go in and take a look first?" Eswe said, looking at the decayed wooden door frame.
Zhao Xu nodded, "Then start to be on guard. I'll stand in front and go in first."
At this time, Zhao Xu picked up the wooden stick in his hand and slowly walked towards the sentry tower that the dozen or so people could not hug.
I feel a little sleepy and this chapter is a little confusing. I will update the next chapter tomorrow morning when I fall asleep.
