Looking at the confused expressions of the two people below, Vivian, as an upright paladin, still couldn't bear to explain to them what was happening in the outside world.
After a few words, the faces of warrior Beiguo and ranger Jianyu slowly turned ugly.
They have realized that they cannot return to the original escape team.
Thinking of their own bags and bags there, the two of them, who were already very poor in the game, felt even more sick in their stomachs, and couldn't help but curse at the dead adventurers.
The strange and powerful mage in front of him could predict at a glance that they were the group that initially plundered the brass treasure chest.
That's because the escape team in this section will never dare to take risks again.
If they seduce a super giant mutant scorpion and chase them later, they may not be able to wait until the mage rescues them.
Although the two of them did not run back, they participated in this incident and survived, which itself became an original sin.
There will definitely be complaints from the families of those who died tragically due to mutant scorpion attacks.
Even fellow players complain about them.
Those victims who ran back to the base camp had been swallowed into the abdomen by the mutant scorpion and were reborn in heaven. Naturally, they had to bear the remaining hatred that caused the disaster.
So the two of them immediately gave up their plans to return to the team.
"Where you first found the brass treasure chest, are there other similar treasure chests?" Zhao Xu asked.
"There are four or five more." Warrior Beiguo replied.
"That place was so scary. The entire ceiling was filled with hanging corpses, and some were cages with dead bones. It was very scary."
Even though he has watched too many horror movies, player Bei Guo still shudders when he recalls that scene.
"You think it's scary, so why are you staying here to go back and continue to snatch a treasure chest?" Zhao Xu asked with a smile.
There was no scorpion army blocking the way they came, which meant that these two people could easily find a way to leave based on the way they came.
He still refuses to leave, so he naturally wants to go back and make another fortune.
It's just that the intersection is still blocked by scorpions, so the two of them are unable to break through.
The two of them were even worried that they would have too many nightmares and would lose their scum if it took too long, so they didn't dare to go offline and kept waiting.
Only players who have resurrection stones can now ask for money at the expense of their lives.
"Master Mage, the main reason is that that group of people moved too fast and grabbed the treasure box on the outermost layer first. Otherwise, I would have left with satisfaction if I had found a treasure box."
Warrior Beiguo explained slyly.
As he spoke, he began to pay attention to avoiding contact with the deceased.
"Then do you think you two have the chance to go back and grab the treasure chest?" Zhao Xu asked.
At this time, the two of them also looked embarrassed, "We are not as powerful as you, Mr. Mage, so naturally we can't get it."
They still stay here, after all, they are still unwilling to give up.
Just like a diamond ring that falls into the river, you have to watch it float away or even sink before you give up.
Just the group of small mutant scorpions just now were able to eat them up until nothing was left.
But before Zhao Xu could speak, the soldier immediately said with a humble attitude, "Of course we don't dare to go to that lair again, but we can lead the way for you, Master Mage, and Master Mage, you can also make preparations through our intelligence. Next action.”
Players who usually don't even bother to add honorifics to their superiors in real companies, now face NPCs in the game, and for the sake of their share of rewards, they all use low-level honorifics enthusiastically.
Zhao Xu just raised his hand casually and started flying. Naturally, this warrior player would not think that the other party was also a player.
Therefore, he communicated with NPCs in a familiar way throughout the whole process.
"Okay, what do you want?" Zhao Xu was about to reach into his pocket and take out the gold coins to ask.
There are four or five brass treasure chests in that place. What does this mean
This means that it is another huge wealth!
Even if Zhao Xu has no less than ten magic items on his body at this time, he will still be tempted by the other four or five magic items.
Who knows that Arthur itself is not a balanced world, and there will not be a game system silently measuring it behind the scenes, distributing equipment based on the number of monsters they defeat.
This is a world where treasures can be unearthed if you are lucky enough.
They are now in this delicate situation where they can get big rewards for their small efforts.
After hearing this, the soldier gritted his teeth and thought for a while, then directly quoted Zhao Xu a price of dozens of gold coins.
The main reason is that it's not far away, and it's still possible for Zhao Xu and others to find it by themselves. No matter how high it is, he won't dare to report it.
"Okay." Zhao Xu was right.
During the next journey, Warrior Beiguo introduced Zhao Xu bit by bit the ins and outs of their entry, especially the distribution of monsters in the lair.
Zhao Xu also frowned during the whole process.
It's not too difficult, but the terrifying monsters that the player Beiguo said, such as the sleeping giant mutant scorpion, are all within his ability to deal with.
Taking four or five treasure chests out of thin air seems a bit excessive.
At this moment, the four of them slowly approached the empty lair in the corridor.
The road was very smooth, and there was no sign of mutant scorpions stationed everywhere as Beiguo said.
At this time, Zhao Xu heard some noisy sounds inside, his expression suddenly changed, and he ejected from the spot and flew over in an instant.
I saw countless mutant scorpions running around in the originally quiet lair.
The lair itself is like a huge cave. The top is a hard natural stone wall from the ground. Only the hooks inserted into it are left. The hanging corpses have also been removed, and it is unknown whether they have been transported away.
And a large number of mutant scorpions are constantly getting into a deep hole of three to four meters in the center of the nest that leads to nowhere.
Zhao Xu could only be glad that he came early.
Unexpectedly, after the super giant mutant scorpion was cut into pieces by them, these ordinary low-level mutant scorpions also realized the disaster of their own race!
They did not have high-level protection power, so they decisively abandoned their current nest and fled for their lives.
It's just that the other party also took away those treasure boxes.
The other two people also reluctantly crawled over at this moment. They were also a little dumbfounded. Actually, these mutant scorpions were smarter than them and knew how to escape after their nest was discovered.
At this time, one of the super-large mutant scorpions was holding a brass treasure box with its pliers, preparing to walk into the hole. A whole circle of medium-sized mutant scorpions were waiting carefully and wrapping it up in layers to appear protective. situation.
Although these mutant scorpions did not decipher what these brass treasure chests were, they obviously regarded them as treasures that could be enshrined. In addition to carrying them separately and separately, they also specially strengthened their defensive formations.
"I'll try to fly over in a roundabout way first and see if I can find a gap to get in." Vivian said while watching this scene.
However, without saying a word, Zhao Xu took out the eternal wand in his hand and fired a fireball at the escape entrance that was so dark that no light could pass through.
In an instant, as a small fireball hit the ground, the mutant scorpions that were originally clustered together waiting to escape were directly overturned by a torrent of explosive flames.
A flame magic that was not inferior to the Burning Hand spell just now crazily overwhelmed countless mutant scorpions trying to escape and kill in this closed cave.
For any mutant scorpion below medium size, basically no one can survive under the coverage of hundreds of meters of fireball technique.
In fact, with the fireball damage curve of 5-30 (5D6), basically only large and above mutant scorpions can survive with their own blood volume.
"Is this the power of the three-ring spell?" This is the first time that Warrior Beiguo has seen the power of the fireball spell at such a close range.
Comparing the two, the flames of the Fireball itself are more intense and dense, and their range is even greater than that of the Burning Hand. Basically, everywhere you look, there are mutant scorpions that are too dead to breathe.
His previous decision to give up on the mage made him regret even more.
When someone like this mage reaches level 5, it seems like he won't be too bad.
"Start taking action, grab the box first." Zhao Xu shouted softly, and then he flew over.
It was also because of the opening of the fireball technique that he tore a hole here, otherwise he would have been stopped by countless scorpions on his way over.
Unlike now, only one area has lost its vitality, and it looks like scorpion corpses have been burned by a blowtorch.
At this time, Vivian from the outside also began to wave the Holy Avenger sword in her hand, quickly killing the mutant scorpions that were below average size.
The super-large mutant scorpion holding the brass treasure chest with one pincer, when it saw Zhao Xu appeared, it suddenly swung its other giant pincer towards him.
However, at this moment, Zhao Xu was sprinting when he came over. Seeing this scene, he showed no mercy.
He directly raised the jade-like black staff in his hand and struck it on the head of the mutant scorpion.
"This?" The soldier Bei Guo and the ranger who were hiding outside the door and observing secretly were almost stunned.
Zhao Xu had just fired a fireball, looking like a master mage. Who would have thought that he would fly over and start hitting people with a wooden stick
Arthur's mage is not a barbaric mage like Gandalf who can wield a wooden club. This is something that countless player mages proudly promote.
However, the next development shattered Beiguo's illusions.
The ordinary wooden stick in Zhao Xu's hand was swung, as if with divine help, it mysteriously bypassed various restrictions and landed directly on the mutant scorpion.
And there is no crisp sound like being bounced back by tough natural armor.
I saw the light circle on the outer circle of the wooden stick explode instantly, cutting directly into the flesh under the shell armor regardless of the natural armor.
The advanced extraordinary weapons turned the wooden stick into a giant-sized power, while the ghost attack technique helped Zhao Xu easily penetrate the opponent's defense.
at the same time.
Mu Zhang's fearless ability inspired a flow of damaging energy, which was instantly transmitted into the mutant scorpion's body like lightning, and countless internal tissues were torn to pieces in an instant.
Zhao Xu swung the stick and instantly ignited a chain of magic slots. As the ability to activate the power rune staff, this arcane power burst out through the staff body and impacted the opponent's body heavily.
This super-large shape-shifting scorpion in its peak state suddenly discovered that it had a health value of 75 HP that was enough to despise mortals, so it couldn't stop it.
But it was no longer able to tell any more, and the entire huge insect body just collapsed.
In its last moments of vision, it had noticed the opponent's second stick that was coming right after it, but it had been burned a little by the flames, and it had less than 60 HP left, so it was naturally killed by such a blow.
The two people at the door were stunned when they saw this scene, and they couldn't help but rub their eyes.
"The mutant scorpion just now was actually on the verge of death, right? That's why he was beaten to death with a stick?" Warrior Beiguo couldn't help but doubt himself.
"Right." Ranger Jianyu nodded.
Although the two of them said this, they knew it very well in their hearts.
Fireball is just fine for killing small and medium-sized ones. Facing large mutant scorpions, even if the opponent fails the save, it may not be able to damage half of its life.
For the super large mutant scorpion, the damage is even more drizzle, less than one-fifth.
Who would have thought that this would be the result in the end.
"I have decided." Warrior Beiguo looked like an old monk in trance. "When I get home, I will post and tell everyone that mages can also be used in melee combat. I will cancel my account tomorrow and open a new mage account."
"I once gave up being a mage because of this, but today I returned to being a mage because of the testimony."
Zhao Xu, who was focused on by Bei Guo, was gently picking up the loose brass treasure box on the ground and slowly putting it into his backpack.
A happy harvest.
The fourth update will be at noon. At the same time, I recommend a fantasy novel "We Wild Monsters Don't Want to Die" written by a friend with a stable update rate of 30,000 per day.
