The Truth of Magic

Chapter 287: Bad place

Views:

After Zhao Xu finished carving, he took back his dagger, turned around and left without saying anything else.

"The Land of the Sleepers" has been divided into half planes floating in the star realm since the death of Naraku, the god of death. For thousands of years, I dare not say that only Edmund has been here, but the total number of people will definitely not exceed two. number.

After Zhao Xu leaves, this place will be permanently sealed by the Mage Association, using their methods to limit and compress the existence of the godhead.

Even until the gods themselves take action.

It is conceivable that no one will come for thousands of years, let alone see the line of text left by Zhao Xu.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xu specially left a message with the "God of Killing".

At this time, Zhao Xu was already feeling a little emotional, how did that "Edmund" obtain the godhood.

As a prisoner who has been imprisoned for more than ten years, even if hope is not cut off in prison, he still insists on exercising, but at best he is only one or two levels of warriors. In this way, he can still find people who are guarded layer by layer in this country of the undead. Godhead, and finally succeeded in breaking through and becoming the God of Killing.

At this time, Zhao Xu was thinking as he slowly walked down the stairs.

Having played many 3A masterpieces, he knows that when entering a strange place, the first priority is to take inventory first, so as to ensure the safety of the area he is in.

At this time, there was a chaos of war outside. Even if he made the sound of fighting, it would not attract attention for a while.

When everything goes silent later, even the slightest sound may bring undead creatures to the door to watch.

"Hey." With a snap, Zhao Xu directly stepped on the corroded wooden steps of the stairs, and his whole foot sank as if he had stepped on nothing.

Suddenly, his whole body froze, and at the same time, his eyes stared at the dark front. Compared with the screen windows on the second floor that could transmit light, there seemed to be no windows below, and it was completely dark.

However, although Zhao Xu's "dark vision" and "immortal veil" were lifted after contacting the idol, the undead creature itself has the characteristic of "dark vision", so he can still distinguish the scene in the darkness.

After a while, Zhao Xu continued walking downwards after seeing that there was no movement.

In fact, there were a lot of banging and running noises outside the building at this time, so it was not surprising that his voice was covered up.

Therefore, Zhao Xu did not think that there were no undead creatures on the first floor, but continued to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

When he reached the last level and turned around to face the hall below, Zhao Xu's entire figure froze on the spot.

In the center of the hall in front of him, there were more than twenty undead creatures, as if they were corpses hung in mid-air. Their feet did not touch the ground, their upper bodies were still barely humanoid, and their lower bodies were already hollow. The body shape, facial features and face are also extremely distorted, mixed with pale white eyes, and he is constantly muttering to himself.

Especially with his dark vision, he could only see completely black and white scenes. Even Zhao Xu was almost startled by this ghostly scene.

However, he was also half undead at this time, and could be regarded as the opponent's "same kind", so his panic was suppressed a lot.

Zhao Xu took a step forward gently.

Suddenly, a series of "complaining and painful" voices came into his ears, with some kind of spiritual attack, constantly impacting his willpower.

However, in the land closest to the soul, Zhao Xu's "undead characteristics" power was firmly maintained.

[Adventurer Zhongxia has "undead characteristics" and is immune to the "hypnotic" effect.]

Zhao Xu knew clearly that he had almost been hit just now, and he stopped moving forward as he planned to continue.

He directly began to use his knowledge (religion) skills to search for the undead creatures in front of him.

"Master, this is the 'Resentful Soul'." Lux, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke at this time, and at the same time told Zhao Xu all the information she knew about the "Resentful Soul".

Zhao Xu also compared it with the information he retrieved.

Zhao Xu didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, he just encountered a "haunted spirit" with a challenge level of only level 3.

Arthur's "monsters" have their own system, such as a level 1 ghoul. If you want to evolve further, you have to increase your Hit Dice HD or take a part-time career level.

Like Taikoo Long, who are themselves level 19 warlocks, they can continue to work part-time as warlocks, upgrade their warlock levels, and even become legendary warlocks.

At the same time, there is another route, which is the "template". Monsters can use the "template", and adventurers can also use the "template".

Among the undead creatures, except for some standard monsters, such as "ghouls" and "mummies", they are basically carved out of the same board.

The other part is undead creatures that have templates such as "skeletons", "zombies", "lichs", and "ghosts". Many of them are professionals, so basically their ability levels and strength fluctuate widely. .

Some of the "templates" such as "Skeleton" inherit very few of the abilities of the previous person, while "Liches" and "Ghosts" can inherit most of the abilities of the previous person.

Therefore, ghost warlocks and lich wizards are extremely powerful and terrifying existences among undead creatures.

The "resentful soul" Zhao Xu faced was an undead creature of the standard system, and the only ones with a lower challenge level than it were ghouls.

Only his eyes showed a hesitant look. Generally speaking, the formation of undead creatures in the standard system has a lot to do with the cause of death in front of them.

Ghouls are mostly said to be transformed from the corpses of people who have overindulged or done many bad things.

"Ghosts" are ghosts that are driven mad and then commit suicide. They only want to take revenge on the people who drove them to the point of desperation, even if they can't cause real harm.

The "hypnosis" that Zhao Xu was immune to just now was the effect of the other party's "supernatural ability".

As long as you step within 20 meters of the "Grudge", you will be attacked by "Muttering".

If you fail the Will save, you will be affected by the first-level spell "Hypnosis" for several rounds.

However, "Hypnosis" itself is the "coercion" element spell in the magic control spell, so it is directly immune to undead creatures that are immune to mind-affecting effects.

This is also the reason why more than twenty resentful souls can coexist peacefully in mid-air without hypnotizing each other.

It also allowed Zhao Xu to avoid this attack. This was also one of the effects of his "undead characteristics". The previous "immortal veil" did not make him immune to this mind-affecting effect.

If Zhao Xu hadn't paid attention at that time and attracted the attention of 20 "resentful souls", then he would have had to withstand 20 superimposed attacks of "Muttering Souls" at the same time.

Until he succeeds on a saving throw, he is immune to this supernatural power for 24 hours.

And the problem goes back to the beginning.

For example, the mage's fourth-level spell "Manipulate the Dead" also summons template undead creatures such as zombies and skeletons.

For example, the sixth-level spell "Avoke the Undead" can summon standard undead creatures such as "ghouls", "mummies" and "demon corpses".

The "Wraith Soul" itself is too unpopular, and the cause of death is also very harsh. It is more naturally formed, rather than appearing suddenly like twenty or so here.

Even if this is the "Land of the Sleeping One".

At this time, Zhao Xu looked toward the walls further away. He suddenly noticed the reason for the lack of light. The original doors and windows were all nailed shut by wooden boards, and not even a trace of light could pass through the windows.

Moreover, most of those wooden boards were engraved with mysterious spells to expel the undead, although in Zhao Xu's opinion, most of them were useless.

But when I think of the characteristics of this city, there is suddenly a hint of irony.

But immediately, the back of Zhao Xu's head couldn't help but feel numb.

Bloody handprints suddenly appeared on the sealed wooden boards and floors, as if an invisible creature was gradually printing them.

Zhao Xu almost followed the strategy of "fireball first in case of trouble", but in the end he saw the bloody handprints fade away one by one.

"Is this the scene of a tragedy?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but asked Lux in his mind.

"Hey, Master, it seems that the 'Land of the Sleeper' has disappeared for too long, and even your mages have forgotten its prestige. Master, do you think this city appeared suddenly?" Lux said.

Zhao Xu began to recall the whole town he saw in the corridor.

The whole town looked like it had been swept by wind and sand, and everything was stained with dust like loess.

But Zhao Xu suddenly remembered and couldn't help but say, "The styles of many buildings are actually not unified, as if they were forcibly pieced together."

"That's right, Master, the Land of the Sleeper is the city where Naraku, the God of Death, dominates and brings together most of the dangerous places where undead creatures once broke out in Arthur."

"So it is also called the City of Evil. The house you see is exactly the number: Low-0365, the missing tourist cabin."

"Once a group of tourists were kidnapped by a group of teenagers while they were playing. In the end, they were brutally tortured and killed. The place where it happened was in this dilapidated house. Afterwards, the house was reported to be haunted. "

"Later, the priests and believers of the God of Death arrested the perpetrators and locked them up in this house. They also nailed all the doors and windows, and then launched a ceremony, which made this house appear in Anta City. .”

After hearing Lux's detailed explanation, Zhao Xu finally understood the whole story. At this time, he looked at the "resentful spirits" floating above the hall, thinking that the murderers were also here.

However, Zhao Xu began to listen with all his strength to the voices of the twenty resentful souls talking to themselves.

There are all kinds of sounds, and several are complicated. When ordinary people listen to a few sentences, not to mention the "hypnotic" effect, the messy content itself will give people a headache.

After a while, Zhao Xu opened his left eye that he had just closed, leaving only his right eye with the power of "sensing death" still closed.

"Lux, I'm afraid there is another hidden story about what happened back then."
