Facing this scene, Zhao Xu's heart beat faster.
But he didn't immediately turn around and look back.
Originally, after he landed, he smelled the corpse smell that would unconsciously spread out when undead creatures gathered in the venue. But at this moment, he smelled a pungent herbal spice smell.
Immediately afterwards, he also heard a deep groan that sounded like it lasted for eternity, and he felt an indescribable shock.
But Zhao Xu felt somewhat relieved at this moment. He had already guessed what the undead creature behind him was.
Undead creatures like skeleton warriors have no intelligence, so they are inherently unable to tell whether Zhao Xu is real or fake.
But the more advanced undead creatures are intelligent!
It's just that Zhao Xu firmly believed in his own magic at this moment.
Although Zhao Xu's appearance has not changed, intelligent undead creatures will not immediately see that he is actually alive. They will only be suspicious at best.
Therefore, Zhao Xu did not rush into chaos, run away or turn around and take out the "Eternal Wand of Fireball" to fight.
That would only result in him being surrounded by this sea of skeletons.
It even triggers the second and third level spell attacks.
In this way, Zhao Xu imitated the zombie's pace, kept shaking his head, and walked slowly away with a staggering step.
During this period, he deliberately adjusted his forward direction slightly, with a slight arc. Finally, Zhao Xu reluctantly glanced at it with his peripheral vision. He wanted to confirm whether the undead creature just behind him was as he had guessed at the beginning.
But Zhao Xu's movements were very careful, as if there was a trace of deliberateness. Even though he was already some distance away at this time, he did not look directly at the direction behind him.
As if he was worrying about something.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you have entered the venue for more than 3 rounds and gained the effect of "True Seeing".]
Hearing these words, Zhao Xu almost made a sound, but it turned out to be true knowledge that took effect with a delay, which meant that all undead creatures present could see through invisibility.
Fortunately, his "immortal veil" is a necromancy effect, not a simple illusion.
It’s really too insidious!
In the end, Zhao Xu managed to skim off a little bit of clothing residue by controlling the corner of his eye. He suddenly became excited and closed his eyes.
bandage!
As he expected, it was a "mummy".
The Demon Soul Corpse with a challenge level of 8 is animated from the corpse of a murderer or villain who died without atonement.
Mummies with a challenge level of 5 are commonly found in the desert pantheon and are reanimated from embalmed corpses. They are generally good at guarding in tombs.
Ever since Zhao Xu got those mysterious notebooks and knew they came from a mysterious tomb, he had learned a lot about the common monsters that guarded the tomb.
One of them was the mummy, and Zhao Xu was familiar with the other party's information without even making a knowledge test.
The challenge level of the mummy itself is average. A team of 4 people at level 5 can already be considered to have enough combat power to challenge a mummy.
Zhao Xu didn't dare to look directly at the mummy. Naturally, like the ghost, he would be counterattacked just by looking at it.
The mummy itself has a fear aura effect called "Despair". If he had just watched it completely, he would have to make a will save at difficulty level 16. If he failed, he would be paralyzed for 1-4 rounds due to fear.
Undead creatures are immune to paralysis, shock, disease, death and other corresponding effects.
Otherwise, the group of skeletons present would have been knocked down by the mummy first.
So once he falls into paralysis, the mummy may see that he is actually a living creature and pounce on him to attack him.
Although Zhao Xu was not afraid of these ordinary attacks wearing a star cloak, he considered that the mummy's swings contained a supernatural disease called "corrosion disease".
Once infected, in addition to physical and charisma, 1-6 points of damage will be taken. It is a kind of continuous damage that will continue until the constitution returns to zero and the body turns into dust.
There was a classmate in Zhao Xu's class who was unfortunately infected by the rotting disease, and this disease is an extremely powerful curse. Without a sufficient caster level, using the three-ring magic "remove disease" may not be effective.
So even if there was a priest in the team at that time, his classmate still couldn't afford to go to the temple's senior priest in a big town.
That's why Zhao Xu felt so guilty just now. He kept a safe enough distance and did not dare to look back until he was out of the range of the "despair" fear aura.
No one can tell these days whether these undead creatures have magic weapons, so he doesn't dare to gamble on his star cloak.
After leaving the mummy's envelope, Zhao Xu also carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Most of the people in his sight were trash skeleton warriors who could be chopped down with one knife.
The enemies that used to be powerful against him at level 1 are now basically thrown by him with a fireball spell, killing as many as he can. It's not an exaggeration to say that he clears the field.
But the appearance of the mummy just now also warned him that this negative energy field may not be as simple as he thought.
Who knows the origin of the dry bones under his feet.
Especially when Zhao Xu came towards him just after landing, he was hit in the face by a series of five damaging spells, which shocked him even more.
Those five damage spells correspond to the five healing spells, ranging from one to four levels plus multiple six levels.
The amount of damage in one set will definitely exceed 200 HP, and the total of 9 Zhao Xus are not enough to kill.
Thanks to the Immortal Curtain he used, all negative energy damage was counted as treatment for him, so he escaped.
At this time, Zhao Xu also became alert. The stone tablet did not lie, but it did not tell the whole story either.
Moreover, he just made a mistake!
He relied on his Feather Falling Technique and just wanted to show off his skills by performing a leap of faith on the spot.
But he didn't expect that his vertical distance was already six meters. After adding the translation distance of one or two meters, the absolute distance from the high platform he just fell to would be more than seven meters.
Otherwise, he could just use "Secondary Swift Burst" and "Teleportation Boots" to return to the high platform.
Maybe he would only take damage from the first two spells.
At this time, Zhao Xu also warned himself that the next actions must be done honestly and from the safest perspective.
At this time, Zhao Xu also followed the footsteps of zombies and slowly walked to the center of the field.
He didn't know if any undead creatures were still paying attention to him.
After Zhao Xu walked to the center, he squatted down, took out a forked twig, and then began to cast the target spell of his trip - the second-level spell "Item Location Technique".
This spell can be used to search for a specified item in the area that he has seen with his own eyes.
But Zhao Xu had never seen it, so he could only settle for the next best thing and use this spell to search for a certain type of item.
Generally speaking, this second effect is not easy to use, because the spell effect will end once the nearest item of the corresponding category is found.
However, under the bones at the scene, there would only be a token key to the portal, so naturally he had no worries about this.
Finally, as the spell was cast, an invisible induction field spread out and enveloped the area as Zhao Xu's spirit stirred.
Spells are divided into close range, medium range, and long range. The basic format is a fixed distance, and then increases as the caster level increases.
The spell distance of "Object Location Technique" is long distance, and the fixed distance is 120 meters.
Then his caster level increases by 12 meters for each level, so his level 6 caster level increase reaches 72 meters.
It also meant that a huge space with a radius of nearly 200 meters, equivalent to four football fields put together, fell within Zhao Xu's sensing range, basically covering the Corpse Square below.
As the information was fed back continuously, Zhao Xu's eyes immediately lit up.
His eyes fell on a location on the left front.
Zhao Xu looked at it from a distance of more than 100 meters and almost wanted to rub his eyes.
But no matter how hard it was for him to believe it, he was surprised to find that there were nearly more than twenty mummies in that area.
Obviously he didn't see this at first on the high platform above.
Illusion!
Zhao Xu reacted immediately.
Surprisingly, at first, even what he saw might not be true. Unfortunately, some undead creatures were extremely capable of hiding, and there were too many skeletons walking around blocking his view, so Zhao Xu couldn't see them in the field. It’s too clear what the specific threats are.
At this moment, Zhao Xu also began to think about how to get through these 20 mummies to get the portal key hidden under the bones on the ground.
The damage of Zhao Xu's current "Fireball Eternal Wand" is 5D6 (5-30HP), and the expected value is about 18HP.
Due to the bandage, the mummy is "vulnerable to fire damage", and the damage will be increased by 50% to 27 HP.
But compared to the opponent's average health of 55 HP, he could theoretically kill them all with two fireballs, and there would definitely be some left at the scene.
The most unlucky thing is that all of them have a trace of blood left, and then they fight back towards him.
Another option is to risk walking over, pick up something and run away. But in this case, if there are undead creatures paying attention to him, then he will be completely exposed.
Even if he was exposed as soon as he walked into the mummy siege, he would have to endure the siege.
However, Zhao Xu got the key and approached the high platform before being exposed, which was not so dangerous. Anyway, he could finish the last 6 meters by relying on the "sub-explosion" routine.
So looking at this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help but think, how could he get the teleportation key safely and smoothly
