The super giant mutant scorpion's attack power is only level 34, but its grappling ability can reach level 58 with the blessing of power.
He is immune to damage from non-magical weapon attacks, but not immune to grapples, so this can trap him.
At the same time, after catching him in this way, he cannot avoid the weight of free fall.
He would be caught and crushed to death.
The mutant scorpion even has the special ability of "constriction". As long as it is caught, it will suffer damage equivalent to the attack due to this constriction force.
So even if Zhao Xu knew that this mutant scorpion had magic items like "any door" on it, and even though he was gifted with this kind of ordinary mutant scorpion, he had no magic-like abilities.
He still had to solve the dead situation in front of him first.
At this time, Zhao Xu looked sideways into the distance, passing the lights on the distant mountains at night.
Although time was extremely tight, he was still thinking calmly.
Even if he used "Wings of Protection" to block this grapple again, he would not be able to stop the opponent's subsequent overwhelming attack.
This was also the reason why this mutant scorpion persisted in hunting him down.
But Zhao Xu still has a trump card.
He can use the secondary burst of swiftness, and then add the teleportation ability of the teleportation boots on his feet. The seven-meter movement range just allows him to move laterally out of the envelope of the mutant scorpion.
It's just that then he will face the sequelae of the spell for a full 6 seconds and fall into dizziness.
The "Restoration Contract" that Antinoya cast on him before could have been automatically canceled in response to this situation.
However, Zhao Xu used "Super Magic Control" to cause attribute damage too frequently, and the spell had already been triggered and activated in the fog, dissipating the energy of the spell.
This also made Zhao Xu realize that the coverage was too wide, which also meant that it would basically not last long before it would be triggered.
Zhao Xu couldn't wait for 6 seconds, because then the mutant scorpion would flash into the sky again, and then free fall to the top of the mountain, and he would still be nothing but meat.
At this moment, Zhao Xu did not use Rapid Explosion to slow down the flow of time, so during his thinking process, the two giant scythes of the mutant scorpion were also closing at the same time.
Even the spider had run back nearby, waiting to bite Zhao Xu who fell to the ground.
This extraordinary hatred also caught his attention.
In this room of lightning and flint, Zhao Xu's mind was clear, and countless plans became clear and integrated in an instant.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly because he had already thought of a solution.
Now that he has thought of a way out, he has to go one step further and focus on his customers.
Zhao Xu just looked at the mutant scorpion and raised his super magic instant scepter in his hand.
Before the mutant scorpion's front paw touched him, Zhao Xu happened to lightly touch it with his scepter.
His 8 points of strength could not stop the closing of the giant claws with over 30 points of strength.
But it was beyond everyone's expectation.
The mutant scorpion suddenly became weak and weak, as if it had lost all ability to move. The two giant pincers were easily blocked by Zhao Xu's staff.
A chilling touch!
A spell that can take away 3-18 points of agility attribute as long as the melee contact is successful.
Melee contact means that Zhao Xu ignores the opponent's natural armor and is naturally on the verge of breaking out.
The super-giant mutant scorpion with a power of 35 only has 8 points in agility. Zhao Xu doesn't even need to use super magic control that will extend the casting time for extreme effects or twins.
This super giant mutant scorpion instantly became helpless, like a limp corpse.
At this moment, Zhao Xu, who had lost all his shackles, directly used his flying ability to fly diagonally away from the shadow shrouded by the mutant scorpion.
"ah!"
At this time, there was an exclamation from below.
The mutated scorpion that lost the ability to move landed at the location of the spider web, where many civilians were trapped.
Once it lands, it will still be a tragedy.
At this time, Zhao Xu's eyes were like lightning, he stretched his fingers forward and shouted "Feather Falling Technique!"
This spell was originally left by Zhao Xu as a way out for him, because it had no posture element and could still be cast even if he was caught.
It's just that if Zhao Xu didn't fight back to kill the mutant scorpion, he would still be in a grappled state even if he landed. Without the four-ring free movement spell, he would be extremely passive.
As the energy of the Feather Falling Technique fell on the mutant scorpion, it had stopped falling sharply, greatly weakening the damage caused by the fall.
In an instant, Zhao Xu continued to cast spells, condensing the spell energy into his palm, and then launched it like a cannonball, sprinting towards the mutant spider.
The most effective spell "Chilling Touch"!
This time, Zhao Xu didn't need to pursue the casting speed, so he directly served the extremely effective version.
A total of 18 points of agility attributes were extracted, and the mutant spider with 15 agility attributes fell down in an instant.
At this time, the two giant creatures were subdued by Zhao Xu and fell into a helpless state that lasted for 12 rounds.
At this time, because they could not move, they could only rely on their own natural armor to defend passively.
Next, Zhao Xu didn't even need to take action. The low-level adventurers who were fleeing around them all rushed over and followed Zhao Xu's instructions to attack the weak points of the two insect creatures.
As streams of disgusting juice spurted out, the lives of the two insectoid creatures also weakened slightly.
Twelve rounds are enough time to accomplish many things.
Even if Vivian were to go it alone, in 12 rounds of mindless output space, she would be able to kill one by force, let alone with the support of dozens of adventurers.
At this time, the teams that fled to the Northern Alliance also regrouped. Most of them come from different family forces, and some even serve as gunslingers and can only rely on the tacit cooperation of adventurers.
Finally, under the threat just now, everyone had the feeling of living and dying together, and for a while they helped each other re-set up camp, allowing the entire vigil team to restore its original order, and people's hearts gradually calmed down.
The few who were unlucky enough to have their bones broken by the falling mutant scorpion had to rest for a while.
"Sir, this is the item that the two mutant insects just tried to fight for." At this time, an elder with enough reputation was recommended by the escape team in this section to communicate with Zhao Xu and the others.
Listening to the other party's description, Zhao Xu looked at the locked box and slowly understood the whole story.
Miraculously, this group of adventurers had nothing to do at night and inexplicably found a mysterious lair. Then a group of small and medium-sized mutant scorpions suddenly appeared.
A few skilled adventurers quickly grabbed a treasure chest and ran.
In the end, the few adventurers who desperately ran back to the main force were overtaken by the super giant mutant scorpion that came through the air, and were swallowed into their stomachs without saying a word, turning them into dinner.
Unexpectedly, the super-giant mutant spider that had been crouching nearby the business trip from the beginning was attracted by the treasure box and jumped out to snatch it. This was the scene that Zhao Xu and others saw later.
"You don't want it anymore?" Zhao Xu looked at the long brass treasure box itself, which was not small in size, but its weight was limited. I'm afraid it wouldn't weigh much after removing the box itself.
Hearing Zhao Xu's rhetorical question, the old man quickly lowered his head, "Sir, you saved us, so naturally you should accept this treasure."
In fact, the old man was still a little uneasy. According to common sense, a group of them were saved by Zhao Xu. If the other party was just a paladin, they could still live up to their promise.
But the person in front of me looks like the terrifying mage from legend, so it is only reasonable that they have to pay a fee.
Now there happened to be a treasure chest whose contents were unknown, and they happened to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha.
As long as the mage accepts this treasure chest with hard-to-guess upper and lower limits, it means accepting their reward. After all, gambling is human nature.
The thought of a treasure chest caused a fight between the super-giant mutant scorpions and mutant spiders, making them both look forward to the contents of the treasure chest and fear the disaster it might bring.
Especially the first few people who brought back the treasure chest were dead.
They were a group of people running for their lives. There were so many people who saw the treasure chest that it was really difficult to separate them.
Thinking about it this way, as long as the other party can accept it as a reward, it is the best way to give it to the mage who killed two mutant insects.
Therefore, after the old man proposed it, he received unanimous approval from everyone.
Zhao Xu also nodded silently.
Having saved ordinary civilians in his previous life, he naturally understands the meaning. Except for paladins, adventurers never work for free.
He didn't think too much when he made the move. Although it didn't seem like it could offset the reward this time, it was finally a windfall, so he was happy to accept it.
Zhao Xu immediately used detection magic to identify it and found that it was actually a mysterious magic lock box.
In addition to having additional magic secret locks, it is also specially locked with a second-level magic "secret magic lock".
This spell makes the chest more difficult to open.
As for the mutated scorpion with no intelligence, it was naturally helpless to deal with the box when it couldn't open it with brute force.
Without saying a word, Zhao Xu used the "knocking technique" to dispel the "secret lock" spell. Then he used his brain again and judged from the pattern of the box that this was the hint of the box's roulette lock.
However, relying on his current intelligence, it took him almost ten minutes to decipher it directly.
At this time, they heard a "tick" sound and knew that Zhao Xu had unlocked the box. Everyone's eyes turned here.
Although this brass box already belongs to Zhao Xu, it does not hinder their curiosity.
With some caution, Zhao Xu called away the approaching people. He was always ready to activate the explosive blast and escape. He carefully opened the box, revealing a gap, which then slowly expanded.
He was frightened by too many stories of the traps exploding after opening the boxes.
Fortunately, everything is safe.
Inside the brass box lies a wooden stick.
The people who gathered around to watch immediately shook their heads in disappointment.
Only Zhao Xu endured the fluctuations in his heart.
He had seen this stick in the treasure house of the lost heritage of the Yiter Dynasty that Antinoya took him to.
