The old hag was wearing rags and no armor.
But its extremely tough skin and powerful damage reduction give it enough courage to ignore ordinary attacks.
Damage reduction is for each attack, it can offset part of the damage.
Once a monster possesses this terrifying ability, it means that the opponent will no longer be afraid of low-level human sea tactics.
Generally speaking, there are only a few monsters that have no weaknesses in their damage reduction abilities.
Otherwise, most of them will have special flaws. As long as weapons made of corresponding materials are used, they will be effective.
For example, the old hag's damage reduction can be broken through with cold iron weapons or magic weapons. Magic weapons are also the weakness of most damage reduction abilities.
It's just that ordinary people can't afford the most common magic weapons, and ordinary people won't really bring seven kinds of weapons with special materials "Adamantine", "Mithril" and "Cold Iron", so unless they are specifically targeted , otherwise you will have to rely on your face to deal with it.
This is also the reason why the human sea tactics used by earth players in the vast majority of online games will fail in Arthur.
The old hag seems to be only level 11, but in fact, after humans travel across the earth, it poses a very strong threat even to top players.
In an instant, the old hag had already killed everyone. Her purple skin was covered with disgusting abscesses, and a strong stench hit her face.
This kind of power made even the many cavalrymen standing behind wearing full armor unable to help but take a few steps back.
After someone called out the name of "Old Hag", many people were already frightened.
Old hags have always been famous in Arthur's horror legends, and are no less famous than undead creatures or even demons.
They can transform into spirits and invade the dreams of creatures, and then spend the whole night riding on the back of their victims, causing them to suffer.
Even after waking up at dawn, the victim will find that his Constitution has dropped by 1 point.
Only Zhao Xu looked calm from beginning to end, as if he was chopping firewood a thousand times, and he waved a stick of his own will in front of the old hag.
The super magic wand itself is made of hard material, and it is also a magic item worth 170,000 yuan.
But it is not a magic weapon, so it cannot penetrate the old hag's damage reduction.
If it weren't for the guaranteed superposition of various abilities, it would probably not be able to cause even the slightest wound.
But in the eyes of the old hag, these are nothing more than that.
Seeing Zhao Xu's swing, it had the confidence to take the priest's blow.
I just don’t know if the spell caster on the opposite side can withstand its disease-laden bite attack.
Although Zhao Xu has reached level 6, because most of his levels are mages and archival scholars, his attack level is not very high, and may not even be comparable to the current level 3 warriors.
However, even if a pig were put here at this time, its punch, with the blessing of various mysterious abilities and spells, would be no less than the experienced punch of a level 10 warrior.
"Dark Knowledge" Level 3!
"Knowledge and Piety" Level 2!
"Praise" Level 3!
The three were unified, merged and superimposed together, making Zhao Xu's attack feel like a blessing to his soul. The trajectory and castration of the attack were extremely tricky.
This kind of power has made the old hag who came close to slowly feel the rapidity of the attack, and she was a little frightened.
It's just that it still firmly believes in its natural defense ability, which is comparable to +4 full body armor, and firmly believes that it can survive it.
Until, Zhao Xu's staff touched the old hag's skin.
Immediately, a shadow full of death erupted from the tip of the staff, and the illusion came to life, shadowy.
It looked like a huge bat, opening its sharp fangs and biting at the opponent.
This scene made the old hag finally change her color!
It finally knew that this spell caster was not going to beat it to death with a stick, but was going to cast a spell on it!
The mage's melee contact spells must take into account the hit to be effective. Therefore, when casting this kind of spell, many ordinary mages have to worry about the risk of close combat on the one hand, and also struggle with their own hit ability on the other.
Therefore, mages rarely prepare for close contact with spells.
But they have a huge advantage, they can ignore any armor and natural defensive armor.
At the moment of contact, it means that the spell has been cast.
For spells like "Electric Claw", the moment it touches the armor, the current generated by the spell itself can be conducted into it, so no matter how high the armor's defense is, it will be useless.
More importantly, spell damage ignores damage reduction.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you cast the third-ring "Vampire's Touch" on the old hag, causing 20HP (6D6) damage and gaining 20HP temporary life, which lasts for 1 hour.]
[Adventurer Zhongxia, your health has been increased from 30HP to 50HP.]
Vampire Touch.
A spell that can cause damage and gain an equal amount of health.
It is also one of the few spells in the mage profession that can increase the upper limit of life in addition to false life.
In an instant, Zhao Xu relied on this spell to suppress the old hag's damage from 70 HP to 50 HP. At the same time, his own health and the opponent's health were close to each other.
Zhao Xu's health instantly soared to the forefront of the players. Even a level 4 barbarian without the rage spell only had this health.
At this moment, Zhao Xu directly defeated most warriors and barbarian players in the three dimensions of attack, health, and defensive armor.
Under the premise that most of his abilities are supported around the clock, Zhao Xu is now enough to act as a powerful warrior, standing at the front and resisting.
"ah-"
Just when Zhao Xu was holding the scepter and was about to follow the trend, he found that after the old hag made a shrill cry, her whole body began to become blurred and she slowly transformed into a spirit body.
Little by little it sneaked into the spiritual world.
In front of Zhao Xu and others, they escaped to another dimension.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the fourth-ring "Dimensional Anchor" or the eighth-ring "Dimensional Lock", so he has no ability to escape this kind of behavior.
Originally, the magicians' tactics of teleporting and running away if they couldn't defeat them were now being performed in front of the magician Zhao Xu, which made him somewhat dumbfounded.
"Captain?" Zheng Xinyun was also looking at the old hag in a daze at this time.
The momentum of the attack just now was like a storm coming.
In just a blink of an eye, the opponent fled without a single blow and disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Xu was helpless about this. He didn't have the courage to fight for anything, so he had the nerve to pretend to be a famous scary monster that could stop children from crying.
But there were several sounds of falling to the ground immediately behind him.
Looking back, I saw that it was a group of cavalry whose legs were already weak. They had just been intimidated by the old hag, and they finally plucked up the courage to attack each other.
At this time, after the old hag escaped, the breath of fear she felt in her heart finally relaxed.
"We actually drove away a powerful 'old hag'." Warrior Chuck was no longer as heroic as he was at the beginning, and was panting while wiping cold sweat from his forehead.
He knew that today's scene would probably be enough to be written into his own biography, if his descendants were prepared.
"It seems that there are many legends about old hags around here." Zhao Xu looked at the limp state of everyone and knew that this might have some historical reasons.
"Captain, why did the old hag run away?" Eliton asked after taking a breath.
Naturally, it was not the minions standing behind who could scare away the old hag.
This means that the strength of his captain, single-handedly, has surpassed that of a powerful old hag.
"The old hag used the 'Wandering in the Spirit World' spell and escaped." Zhao Xu explained.
When the old hag saw that he had cut off a full 20 HP with one blow, she was able to give up everything immediately and run away immediately.
After a while, Zhao Xu began to understand this clever monster. It was no wonder that it could survive near Mystra.
"Traveling together in the spirit world?" At this time, Mrs. Betty couldn't help but asked, her voice was a little murmuring, as if full of unconfidence.
"That's right." Zhao Xu confirmed.
Before coming, knowing that he might encounter an old hag, he had already made enough preparations, including reading all the information about the old hag.
Not to mention her own knowledge test. In fact, the old hag's abilities are clearly recorded in black and white.
Zhao Xu found it hard to believe it at first glance.
"What's wrong, madam?" Chuck noticed for the first time that Mrs. Betty's face had changed several times, and he suddenly realized that there was a mystery inside.
Traveling with the spirit world, a spell that I have never heard of, may have some background.
Could it be a powerful five-ring spell
After Mrs. Betty calmed down her emotions, she slowly said: "I thought the old hag's reputation was loud enough, but I didn't expect that we still underestimated each other's abilities."
Her expression was half tangled and half bright.
Even though the radiant armor Zheng Xinyun was wearing at the moment was still spreading the shining light of day, it still unblocked her from looking at Zhao Xu with that bright light full of hope.
"What?" Another older guard also asked.
Mrs. Betty's red lips closed lightly, "That's a nine-ring spell."
Like thunder, it passed through the hearts of countless people.
The people begging for food in Mystra understand the meaning of the nine-ring spell, so even if monsters can get involved, it is of great significance.
If they had known that the old hag still had the power of the nine-ring spell, most of the cavalry would have thrown away their weapons and fled.
"After a search, there are no traces, then let's go."
Zhao Xu also ordered at this moment.
His voice was not loud, but it hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Even without the orders of Captain Chuck or Mrs. Betty, even the cavalryman who had been sitting on the ground suddenly stood up and intuitively followed Zhao Xu's instructions and searched for traces around the room.
Because everyone has clearly realized it.
The midsummer priest who can drive away the old hag who possesses nine-level magic and travels in the spirit world means something in itself. ���
During the entire search process that followed, even Zhao Xu joined the search group and even used some magic methods.
A group of them still found nothing.
It was as if this burned-down house was just a temporary stay for the old hag.
In other words, the secrets about this house itself have long been buried by the fire.
Then everyone returned to the carriage and set off again, still talking enthusiastically about the episode where they met the old hag.
No one could have imagined that a group of cavalry with an average level of one or two could actually escape smoothly from the opponent's hands, and could even be considered as repelling the enemy.
Especially those cavalrymen who successfully shot the old hag felt a little more proud while riding on their horses. They felt that they would go to the town tavern and brag about it later, and their faces would be shining.
In the end, everyone successfully arrived at Mrs. Betty's natal home in Frost Dew Town, where they were entertained and stayed for one night.
On the second day, Zhao Xu also took a brief look at the simple folk customs of Shuanglu Town under the leadership of Mrs. Betty. Zheng Xinyun also found a few knickknacks at the street stalls.
Until the sunset falls on a corner of the courtyard, dyeing the stone rockery with the golden poetry of twilight, accompanied by the sound of "rinsing" from the clear spring.
Zhao Xu looked at the "auction invitation" wrapped in pitch black cover in his hand and felt silent in his heart. The time was tonight.
I will take the college entrance examination tomorrow and make up for what I missed today. By the way, PY has a new book called "Starting with a Master's Uncle", which is based on the author's previous experience of finishing a million-word book.
