"Isn't the rabbit just white?" Others found it difficult to understand.
In fact, Zhao Xu, who had no field experience, naturally thought that rabbits were white from the beginning.
It wasn’t until after traveling that they began to need to eat, and they needed to hunt and prepare food on their own during the journey.
In the wild, pure white rabbits simply cannot survive because the white color is too dazzling.
Most of the rabbits Zhao Xu and others saw on the earth were white because they were domestic rabbits.
When Zhao Xu explained this, a deep chill suddenly grew in everyone's hearts.
Xifeng Valley, where you can easily encounter ferocious bears, has an average level of less than 5, and is really not qualified to settle here.
In other words, there are no ordinary civilian villages here, let alone raised rabbits.
If Zhao Xu hadn't been wearing the "True Knowledge" and could see through transformations and illusions, he would have thought that the rabbit was deliberately disguised by some enemy.
Shuang Jian immediately arranged for the rogues in the team to carry warning smoke to search for traces nearby. If something was wrong, they would rush back and throw the smoke away if they were attacked.
At this time, Zhao Xu and others were observing the water area in front of them.
At this time, the surface of Jingyue Lake was calm, with only the occasional waves caused by the passing breeze.
"Mr. Guangfeng, is there any magic that can observe the conditions at the bottom of this lake?" Originally, Shuangjian was still full of confidence in underwater exploration.
But now that he encountered this artificially raised white rabbit, coupled with the previous deliberate attacks by trolls and goblin troops, he felt a deep shadow cast over his heart.
He even suspected that there was some trap waiting for them under the lake.
"The five-ring water flow field of view can detect specific organisms in the water."
Zhao Xu didn't say much else - he couldn't cast this spell now.
"Mage is indeed still strong, although it requires five rings to achieve it. But I found that most needs actually have corresponding spells to solve them." Shuang Jian said with emotion.
Zhao Xu smiled. In fact, if he were the fifth ring now, he would be able to cast spells such as "Secret Eye" and "Peeping Magic Eye" to create "magic eyes" that can be observed, and then station them around to conduct reconnaissance.
And if Zhao Xu could release the "Water Sight" spell, he would definitely release it on the spot without hesitation.
The Watcher Guild did not know from the beginning that there was a "careful person" observing them, and it is possible that the target was exposed in Mystra.
Because Shuangjian had searched for the "Water Breathing" scroll in the city, based on this logic, it was easy to deduce that they needed to "diving to find the Mage Tower", and the destination was naturally the only lake.
Therefore, Zhao Xu was not surprised when creatures suddenly appeared from the bottom of the lake to intercept them.
"Brother, there is nothing found within a hundred meters." Jiuxue came over with another ranger woman at this time and reported to Shuangjian.
A soldier who had trained in swimming skills also returned after diving and reported that there was no problem. At this time, only the wanderers who went to scout farther away had not returned.
Seeing this, Shuangjian was relieved a little and said, "Mr. Kuangfeng, let's confirm the details after the water enters later?"
The mage Chen Nuo and several other high-level leaders of the surrounding unions did not raise any objections to this, and they all listened with their ears pricked up.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu felt a little dizzy.
Frost Sword himself is considered cautious enough, and he was born in a Mist and received the influence of magic. However, he still has not formed the awareness of guarding against magic monitoring in his mind. He simply thinks that no one around him is safe.
It's no wonder that the fact that they obtained the address of the Mage Tower was leaked.
Zhao Xu thought about it and let a few people know that in a society with magical civilization, confidentiality cannot be judged with common sense.
"President Shuangjian, have you ever thought about the possibility of being monitored in the area we are in now?" Zhao Xu said.
For a moment, everyone's expressions changed drastically after hearing this sentence, and they immediately looked around at each other and looked at the surrounding environment.
Zhao Xu saw that everyone's eyes still did not fall on his companions, and he also smiled. Looking back, he had to write a "Guide to Prevent Pitfalls" for the players. This would be too much for the mages.
"One possibility is that someone used the second-level 'Transformation Technique' to knock out our companions, then change into the other party's appearance and come in to pretend to be the other party."
"Another possibility is that the other party directly uses the 'invisible' method to hide here."
This time, as soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, everyone looked at their companions suspiciously, as if they thought Zhao Xu had seen through something.
Zhao Xu already had the "True Knowledge" in his body at this time, and he had checked everyone's appearance, and knew that none of them were fake.
But he didn't intend to say it out loud, and would rather let everyone feel a little wary. Because when he goes into the water, no one on the lake will have the effect of True Seeing, and everyone will be blinded.
Then he lightly tapped the interface of his invisibility ring, and his figure suddenly disappeared in front of everyone, as if the optical effects were turned on.
After all, "invisibility" is a famous second-level spell. For a while, everyone was not too surprised, but they just realized that they had been negligent at first.
Zhao Xu immediately canceled the invisibility effect and revealed himself to everyone again.
"Mr. Kuangfeng, you can just tell us this. There is no need to waste spell slots." Shuangjian said with a little heartache when Zhao Xu showed off his spell after a disagreement.
"This is activated at will. It comes from the 'invisible ring' on my middle finger. It can be activated at will." Zhao Xu said calmly.
Only then did everyone realize that Zhao Xu had just turned invisible without chanting a spell. It was indeed invisibility that relied on magic items.
"Mr. Kuangfeng, how many gold coins does this ring cost?" Wanderer Tie Zhi couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu's palm with surprise in his eyes, like a woman looking at a bright diamond ring.
"Twenty thousand gold coins." Zhao Xu said sheepishly.
Zhao Xu's words almost made everyone present sound surprised.
"This can be done with ten magic weapons." Shuang Jian couldn't help but sigh.
The ordinary equipment worn by all of them, including the expensive armor, for the forty people put together, was not as expensive as a ring like Zhao Xu's.
Rogue Tie Zhi, who originally thought about owning an invisibility ring that could greatly improve his sneak attack ability, almost rolled his eyes when he heard the price.
Even if he is the main force in this launch and can be allocated more harvests, it is impossible for the mage tower to let him get an invisibility ring.
Zhao Xu saw that everyone's attention was distracted, and he hurriedly talked about the topic, "The third possibility is to use surveillance and surveillance spells. Maybe everything we say now has been known to others."
Zhao Xu once used the second-ring "Spy Master's Coin" to create an eavesdropping coin that triggered excitement, used an "alarm barrier" to remind him that someone had entered, and then activated the coin.
After he mastered the third-ring spell, he could even designate a known place to perform the "Sharp Ear Technique/Eagle Eye Technique" at a long distance, thereby setting up a magic induction field to monitor and monitor.
Later, there are also long-distance detection spells such as the third-ring poet spell "Eavesdrop on Coins" and the fifth-ring "detection spell".
Suddenly, a flash of lightning-like inspiration flashed through Zhao Xu's mind, illuminating all his thoughts.
He thought to himself: It's really dark under the lamp.
As he spoke, he walked over to the rabbit, which was already suspended by its legs.
Just now, he relied on his "true knowledge" and glanced at the rabbit. He was attracted by the fact that the rabbit was not wild, and forgot about the other point.
At this time, everyone looked at Zhao Xu and listened to the rabbit, knowing that there must be something fishy here. For a moment, they all looked at his actions with wide eyes and studied carefully.
Zhao Xu, on the other hand, directly used the zero-ring "detection magic", and suddenly a layer of magical light appeared on the originally ordinary rabbit. However, it only lasted for a short time and disappeared after just one round. .
Zhao Xu secretly thought: Sure enough, it's a pity that after the spell ends, there will still be 1-6 rounds of residual aura, which also allowed him to seize the last clue.
"There is a Druid's second-level spell called 'Shared Body'. This spell allows the caster to gain the animal's senses to observe the surroundings after coming into contact with the animal, seeing through its eyes and hearing through its ears."
Suddenly all eyes fell on the snow-white rabbit that Zhao Xu was holding.
"It's just that if the other party chooses the White Rabbit, isn't he throwing himself into a trap?" the poet Ke Lu asked in surprise.
"No, it wants this rabbit to be caught by us and throw itself into a trap so that it can hear our conversation at close range." Zhao Xu looked into the rabbit's red eyes and said in a leisurely tone.
"Because ordinary hares that dare to enter the range of adventurers may be killed and used as food. Only this kind of strange white rabbit will be spared and can stay and listen."
"But isn't that a bit far-fetched?" said the poet.
Zhao Xu shook his head, "This spell itself is a spell with a 'minute' level duration, so the other party is trying to squeeze out its value as quickly as possible. And since this is done, I'm afraid there are other methods nearby."
Seeing this scene, everyone didn't even dare to speak out for a while.
Zhao Xu, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows and began to deal with this spell attack and defense battle in the intelligence dimension.
"How about we communicate in the language of the earth? Then the other party won't be able to know." Jiuxue suggested.
"What about Mr. Guangfeng?" Tian Zhi said with a frown. This Guangfeng mage didn't know the earth's language.
"Isn't there a zero-ring communication spell?" The warlock standing in the corner said excitedly, "This spell allows the caster to talk softly with the target creature without being heard by others. In this way, Chen Nuo can cast it and then talk to the target creature. Just direct communication with Mage Guangfeng."
But Chen Nuo shook his head directly, "The communication technique only means that the sound cannot be heard, but you still have to open your mouth. If the other party can see us, they can see through the ability of lip reading."
Zhao Xu smiled after hearing this. As expected, no one knew much about spells above the third level.
"The mage's third-level spell, Wolverine, allows the caster to understand and speak any language, including your earth language." Zhao Xu corrected everyone's initial mistakes.
"Then we will write Chinese characters on paper in Chinese. The art of glib does not include writing." Jiuxue continued to make up for his plan, but it would be a lot more troublesome for them to communicate.
But before Zhao Xu could refute, Chen Nuo had already corrected him: "One ring of proficiency in language can make people understand the literal meaning of the text."
Everyone fell silent immediately, which meant that even if they did not communicate with Master Guangfeng, their own communication would be seen through.
It’s not like everyone is tapping out Morse code to communicate to the beat.
In fact, Zhao Xu knew that if everyone converted what they wanted to say into pinyin on paper and then mixed in some English, then the enemy might not be able to see through it.
It's just that these words cannot be said from the mouth of his "disguised" Master Arthur.
At this moment, Zhao Xu took out a piece of copper wire from his backpack, and then began to chant a spell and cast a spell.
Until the copper wire felt the energy of the spell and began to buzz.
"What kind of spell is this?" Shuang Jian was curious.
However, he was immediately stunned and covered his mouth in disbelief.
Even all the members of the Watcher's Union looked at Frost Sword in surprise.
Because, Shuang Jian did not speak.
But his voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's heart.
