After Zhao Xu heard the strange noise, he and Vivian looked at each other and knew something was wrong.
They immediately knew it was not an earthquake.
Instead, it was an extremely solid and heavy monster that caused a shock when it hit the ground heavily.
At this time, Zhao Xu was already equipped with long-lasting "High Mage Armor" and other spells, and he already had sufficient defense in terms of physical damage.
Thinking of this, he immediately cast a three-ring spell "Insight Strategy" that was only recently consolidated.
Because this spell can be dispelled at any time, it does not meet the "durable" characteristics, so he only allowed himself to suffer 1 point of attribute damage and used the "Super Magic Control" ability to match this spell with "Spell Extension". "Time" expertise.
Although there are many spells that can satisfy the long-lasting spells, Zhao Xu considers the practicality and the limited spells, so he usually only has a few commonly used long-lasting spells on his body.
Most of them focus on defense, which is in line with his philosophy of surviving first and seeking counterattack later.
However, the "physical sacrifice" spell can increase his caster level to level 12 (arcane) and level 11 (divine), so Zhao Xu usually uses it for a long time.
The duration of each level of "Insight Tactics" is 10 minutes. Coupled with Zhao Xu's caster level, it is naturally 120 minutes ** 2 hours.
Combined with the "Spell Delay" feat that increases one level but doubles the time, it suddenly becomes 4 hours. Although it is not as exaggerated as 24 hours, it is enough to cover tonight's battle.
This spell can be said to be a normal spell in spell warfare.
On the one hand, during the duration of Insight Tactics, his spell recognition skill can be increased by 5 levels of environmental bonus.
At the same time, after his own spell recognition level exceeds the fifth level skill level, he can also automatically sense whether there is a spell cast within 30 meters, and he is born with a spell radar sensor.
From then on, he got rid of the limitations of "visual" and "hearing" judgments about casting spells.
If there is a visual line between him and the caster, he can also perform spell identification to determine the spell.
But what really determines the key status of this spell is that during the duration of the spell, Zhao Xu can instantly consume all the abilities of the "Insight Tactics", just like his God's Step consumes energy to launch ultra-long distance walking.
In exchange, you can freely perform a "counterspell," even if there is no visual effect line.
Free casting means that he does not have to waste the "casting time" required to counter spells.
As for Zhao Xu, who is a versatile spellcaster, he can cast the same spells to counter any spells below the third level.
Therefore, within the duration of the spell, no spellcaster within 30 meters can cast a spell silently to attack him.
At the same time, spells within the third ring will be countered by him, canceling the spells cast by the opponent.
Therefore, after applying this layer of insight tactics, Zhao Xu also gained the ability to target spell casters. He was no longer able to detect the arrival of spells with his naked eyes as before.
Although Vivian had just been taking off her armor, luckily she had only taken off a small part of her full-body armor, and immediately put it back on urgently with Zhao Xu's simple cooperation.
The two immediately walked out of the tent and went to the outside world.
Out of defensiveness, Vivian tapped the floating mirror shield beside her simultaneously.
In an instant, the shield, whose surface was processed extremely smoothly and could be used as a mirror, was suspended in the air and blocked in front of Vivian.
Relying on the "floating" ability worth "+2", this shield freed Vivian from her own hands, and she could hold the "Holy Avenger" in her hands with both hands.
Holding it with both hands can bring more power to the damage increase, which is half higher than that with one hand.
Therefore, many times, soldiers have to weigh whether to improve their defensive shields or directly hold military weapons with both hands in pursuit of higher damage output.
"It's really big enough."
At this time, Zhao Xu walked outside the tent and immediately understood what had just happened.
Under the hillside where their boulder was located, close to the route of the large group of fleeing troops, a super giant mutant scorpion and another super giant mutant spider were fighting in a stalemate. The dull and loud noise just now was the result of their fight. issued.
The typical characteristic of these insect-like creatures is that they have no intelligence attribute, not zero.
They will hunt and attack nearby creatures based on instinct.
"Everyone has climbed to their own ceiling. It's strange that they are still fighting for life and death like this." Zhao Xu said in surprise.
Mutant scorpions and mutant spiders were initially "super small" with only a quarter of the challenge level.
It wasn't until they crossed six body size levels that they evolved from ultra-small with half a Hit Dice to nearly 32 HD (hit dice) and 40 HD of super giants.
Zhao Xu climbed to level 32 above legend, which was just 32 HD.
And Vivian next to him now has 6 HD as a native succubus, and with the level 3 paladin superimposed on it, it is only 9 HD.
It can be said that these challenge levels are all super giant mutant spiders and mutant scorpions around level 11, and they all have hundreds of health points.
"President, can I go rescue them?"
Vivian requested at this time, and she immediately saw the suffering and wailing civilians.
The two fighting super giant mutant spiders and mutant scorpions at the foot of the hillside were staring at each other eagerly, looking for opportunities to break through and attack.
Although their target is not the fleeing people, their own weight exceeds 10 tons, and with their 20-meter-long body, any excessive movement can crush the branches of the surrounding trees, and even trample them into pieces. Stone flying scroll.
Even if Zhao Xuchu took a brief look, no less than a dozen innocent civilians were injured and fell to the ground screaming.
However, more civilians were screaming, dragging their limited belongings farther away, and holding the hands of their families and companions to escape.
It's just that their progress is of little significance compared to these super giant creatures.
A caravan that has recruited adventurers and has the ability to counterattack can only let the hired adventurers transfer the cargo and property first.
Even if they wanted to fight back, there was nothing they could do.
Two monsters with a challenge level of 11 are no longer something that an ordinary team can deal with.
Even if you encounter a big town, if there are no high-level adventurers, you will have to send a large number of soldiers to form a battle formation to resist.
Naturally, the current wave of refugees cannot do this.
The civilians who saw themselves being accidentally injured by the two super-giant mutant insects all cried and waved, calling for help.
It's just that when faced with ultra-small mutant insects, they can barely kill them with weapons.
But these super giant creatures are like walking seven or eight-story buildings. Just standing there, they have the aura to intimidate the mountains and rivers.
Although they do not have the natural "ferocious aura" ability of giant dragons, their breathing is enough to make a group of civilians whose weapons are only branches and sticks tremble with fear.
At this time, Zhao Xu heard Vivian's request.
This is also a requirement of her camp.
If you don't do what is right, you are not a paladin.
Just protecting Zhao Xu was a higher-level belief in her mind, and even this belief directly suppressed her instinctive impulse to attack.
Zhao Xu didn't intend to stop him. He said directly to Vivian: "Go ahead."
After Vivian smiled softly, she looked directly into the distance and luxuriously activated her seventh-level spell-like ability "Advanced Teleportation" - which is also an error-free teleportation spell.
She instantly used this spell that could span thousands of miles, changing her position less than a thousand meters and appearing on the battlefield below.
For wizards, most of them use "arbitrary door" spells for such short distances.
Zhao Xu raised his head at this time and looked into the deep night.
After everyone traveled through the past life, they naturally encountered most of these crises. There were too many monsters dormant in the jungle.
Even if the temple sends priests for protection, it is a drop in the bucket for seven billion humans.
Naturally, many innocent civilians on Earth have become food for monsters.
They come and go like the wind, constantly plundering.
This is something Zhao Xuri needs to consider in the future.
At that time, only the Arthur players were able to stand up and protect the civilians of the earth. However, although their number was large, when spread out, millions and tens of millions were not evenly distributed.
Therefore, the players can only organize themselves and work together to protect their loved ones first.
No matter how kind and loving the pastor is, he cannot stop this tendency to protect his loved ones.
It was also from that time that the "consensus" of the players became the "order" of the people on the new earth.
The powerful class slowly completed their transformation amidst the attacks of countless monsters.
No matter how much wealth there is on earth, after coming to Arthur with nothing, even if his clan is powerful and can organize a militia crowd, it is still not enough for these super giant monsters to swallow up.
Only equally advanced players can stop them.
A thousand soldiers are not as good as one general, this is the truth that the common people of the earth have learned with their own blood.
The moment Vivian completed the advanced teleportation technique, she had already appeared in the center of the two super giant insects.
Seeing the appearance of this powerful paladin wearing silver armor, the nearby civilians couldn't help but cheer.
Her sword was so stunning that everyone was looking forward to it.
