Speaking of which, this was the third time that Zhao Xu encountered the undead giant insect Yeying. The first time was during his journey to find the amber sarcophagus containing the godhead in the Kingdom of Sleepers.
The second time was what I saw with Antinoya and Vivian in the tomb of the ancient elemental god.
That time, he directly used the Hammer of Justice spell, combined with the twin ultimate effect, to attack and kill the opponent on the spot.
Night Shadows are composed of pure darkness and evil power. They can be said to be mid-to-high-level undead creatures.
The three major night shadow creatures currently known to adventurers are the flying wing night shadow, the lying night shadow, and the giant insect night shadow. They are all difficult creatures with unique powers.
For example, the giant insect Night Shadow has a full 20 points of intelligence, so they can formulate combat plans based on the enemy's situation.
The giant insect Yeying in front of him directly launches a bite ability that exceeds level 30 attack. Basically, current players can kill anyone they see, but this behavior is more out of bad taste. However, when a large group of people were running away, it would not hesitate to use its spell-like ability, Ice Cone, to attack and kill them all.
"Look, I will use this giant insect Night Shadow as an example to tell you about Arthur's mid-to-high-level monsters."
Zhao Xu looked at the giant insect Yeying in front of him and said.
At this time, everyone had already cast their shocked and admiring gaze on Zhao Xu.
Naturally, it comes from Nan Xiaowei's phrase "Brother Zhongxia".
Midsummer, a game that accompanies countless players in the middle and late stages of the game, is also a powerful target for first-tier players to catch up with.
But from now on, no one can come close to this glorious "name".
It was only in the last month that everyone narrowed the level gap to just one level, but everyone had no doubt that "Zhongxia" could break through this scale and reach a new dimension at any time.
After time travel, along with several "notices" that spread to everyone, the name Zhongxia became famous among non-players.
In other words, this name has become the hope of many confused people.
But at this moment, with the words that Zhao Xu blurted out, everyone who was full of confidence couldn't help but mention it again.
If Zhong Xia, the strongest "player" in Arthur, could kill a level 18, nearly legendary barrier powerful undead giant insect called Night Shadow, they would not be surprised at all, and would even take the initiative to criticize and question. By.
However, now Zhongxia actually wants to use the "Giant Insect Night Shadow" in front of him to carry out "teaching mode" for them
A goshawk still needs all his strength to fight a rabbit, and doesn’t showing off also depend on the occasion
After seeing many examples of people pretending to be stupid online, they couldn't help but worry about Zhao Xu.
If people died before Zhongxia arrived, it was their bad luck.
But he has already arrived and is still carrying out the teaching process. If he fails to pay attention and causes a "teaching overturn" and kills people, the dazzling name of Zhongxia will inevitably be covered with dust.
But Zhao Xu, who was paying attention to the center point, didn't care.
He immediately noticed that his childhood playmate Nan Xiaowei was still feeling a little uncomfortable, as if she had entered a pothole with stagnant air.
Zhao Xu took a quick look and saw that most of Nan Xiaowei's classmates who were only seventeen or eighteen years old were also in the same situation. He even recognized a few of them and had met a few times at the KTV where Nan Xiaowei went.
"You feel sick and uncomfortable now. In fact, it is essentially the same as staying in this 'wild and dead land'."
Zhao Xu looked at the giant insect Yeying who was about to move and commented, "Because they themselves release negative energy like this land. So sometimes when you pass by the giant insect Yeying, you will even think that there is an evil temple nearby."
"This ability, which we also call 'blasphemous aura', is a halo-type supernatural ability with a radius of 6 meters. It will be affected as long as you step into the range. Angels, for example, have protective auras that can resist evil creatures and Protection from low-level spells.”
And just as Zhao Xu was describing by analogy, the giant insect Yeying closed its mouthparts again and prepared the next spell.
And Zhao Xu did not sit still and wait for death at all.
"Refined radiance!"
A top-level nine-ring arcane spell used for defensive spells was instantly cast through the Book of All Laws.
Zhao Xu's whole body was immediately covered with 17 mysterious light balls.
These silver balls of light were like the moon in the past, about the same size as Zhao Xu's head, suspended around him, constantly circling.
In fact, the two spell-like abilities that threatened him the most were the "Finger of Death" and "Monster Holding Technique". The others were harmless to Zhao Xu.
Under the control of Zhao Xu's will, each of these light balls created by the refining of brilliance can absorb arcane spells or spell-like abilities targeting him.
At the same time, those absorbed spells can also be stored in the light ball and transferred to other candidates through Zhao Xu's will.
When he saw this spell, Zhao Xu immediately thought of ways to abuse this spell.
That is, he uses these light balls to absorb spells that "can only be effective on himself", and then transfers them to other candidates. For example, ghost attack can be achieved in this way.
Although the Radiance Refining cannot absorb divine magic, it is enough to deal with the giant insect Night Shadow in front of him.
In the lightning and flint room, at the same second that Zhao Xu completed the spell, the giant insect Night Shadow also erupted a destructive aura full of death power.
In an instant, all the curse-killing power in the void rushed toward Zhao Xu's body along with the arcane radiance, causing everyone to scream.
The legendary "death curse"!
But Zhao Xu didn't panic at all, and just used his mind to control the "silver light ball" to integrate into his body and wrap around his whole body, blocking the death curse power of the "Finger of Death" head on.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, your radiant refined light ball captures the "Finger of Death" spell.]
The next moment, the ball of light emerged from his body again, and it was additionally wrapped with the necromancy power just now.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Xu controlled the ball of light and shot it towards the giant insect Ye Ying.
Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body.
As a mage, Zhao Xu can perfectly reproduce a variety of combat skills.
When the ball of light absorbing the power of death hit the scales of the giant insect Yeying, it evaporated into water vapor and dissipated like dewdrops falling on a red-hot iron.
It doesn't have the slightest effect.
After all, the "caster level" of the Book of All Laws is too low.
"I just used a spell to capture the opponent's finger of death spell. This is one of the strongest means of the giant insect night shadow's magic ability. Like the nine-ring group monster immobilization spell and the otherworldly teleportation, it can be used every day. Can only be used once."
"And I just deflected the giant insect Night Shadow's spell, but it was resisted by the opponent's 'spell resistance'."
"If you are not a level 11 caster or above, there is no possibility of breaking through the giant insect Night Shadow's spell resistance of level 31 or above."
Zhao Xu looked at some of the players who were preparing "spells" to join in the fun and smiled, "Of course, if you use spells that don't require spell resistance, that's okay. So the second-ring flash dust can cause eye-catching effects without passing spell resistance." Blind, which makes the attack lose half of its spells, is of key significance.”
"Don't be nervous, I won't fail in this scene." Zhao Xu said with relief, "When the giant insect Yeying counterattacks you, I have no less than ten ways to stop it."
"Time Rewind Necklace" and "Resurrection Technique" are all ways to make up for Zhao Xuzhen's failure in acting.
Not to mention, before the giant insect Ye Shadow takes action, his swift burst of spells can stop the opponent's performance at any time.
"Brother Zhongxia, our companion was devoured by the other party just now. Is there any way you can save him?" At this time, Nan Xiaowei finally recovered and said with a hint of crying.
"This is easy."
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Dancing Light Technique!"
He used this zero-ring spell to create several light balls that shone beside the giant insect Yeying, like a pointing pen to guide everyone to where to observe.
"Giant insect Yeying is proficient in grabbing. Once successfully grasped by them, the devouring ability will be activated in the next moment. Your companion must have been devoured in this way just now."
"But don't panic if you do miss. The giant insect Yeying's special ability of 'swallowing whole' is based on its huge stomach. Even a super-large giant can accommodate two. For humans, More than thirty is not a problem.”
"So there is still a chance to struggle when being swallowed. In that soft stomach, as long as you can slash or pierce to cause more than 35 HP of damage, you can pierce out. However, the giant insect Yeying itself can recover. Yes, that wound will heal soon."
Zhao Xu was also curious at this time. God knows that the mage who wrote the research on the stomach damage of giant insect night shadow at the cost of how many giant insect night shadows it cost to accurately estimate the amount of damage.
However, as Zhao Xu spoke, he disappeared in front of everyone with an "arbitrary door".
When his figure appeared again, he had already rushed to the side of the giant insect Yeying.
Since ancient times, mages have used the "arbitrary door" to distance themselves. At this moment, Zhao Xu used it as a cutting-in skill to confront the enemy head-on.
At the same time, Zhao Xu swung the giant sword in his hand, and with the knowledge of the "Giant Insect Night Shadow" structure diagram brought by his "religious knowledge", he aimed at the direction of the stomach and slashed it.
"Dark Knowledge!"
"Intellectual piety!"
The two knowledge abilities exploded instantly, allowing Zhao Xu to clearly understand the weaknesses of the giant insect Yeying's body structure.
At this moment, the giant insect Ye Ying seemed to be a piece of wood with lines. Zhao Xu was asked to cut along the lines.
"Bang!" There was an abnormal sound, and the giant insect Yeying's hard body was invaded by the effect of Zhao Xu's "ghost attack" that ignored the armor.
Even the 16th level attack brought by his 16 points of strength blessing and the insight bonus brought by knowledge are of no avail even if the opponent's natural armor takes effect.
And everyone was extremely surprised when they saw Zhao Xu's powerful, heavy and extremely violent sword, which cut directly across the opponent's stomach and exposed it.
There seems to be something wrong with the mage who can fight better than their warriors.
But this also allowed everyone to see the bodies of the two people who had just been swallowed in a sticky state in the stomach.
But at this moment, no one dared to step forward and fish out the body, and the wound that penetrated from the outer shell to the stomach was healing rapidly.
"Telekinesis!"
Both the zero-level mage's hand and the first-level "high mage's hand" are too weak and not powerful enough.
The force field claws of the fourth ring are more defensive, while the grappling palms and diamond palms in the Bigby series also tend to attack the enemy rather than recapture it.
So Zhao Xu instantly chose the five-ring "telekinesis" spell. This spell had a maximum drag force of more than three hundred kilograms, which was enough for him to pull out the two people in his stomach.
Just with a muffled sound, the two bodies fell to the ground, but there was no groan at all. It was obvious that they had turned into corpses that could not speak.
Even if it takes more than a moment, these corpses will be invaded by the negative energy of the wild dead land and become undead creatures.
Zhao Xu also sighed: "The moment he was attacked by the giant insect Night Shadow, in addition to the bite damage, its attack also contained 'poison', and he would receive 2-12 (2D6) power initially and in each subsequent round. harm."
"And if it is swallowed, you will suffer 14-30 points (2d8+12) bludgeoning damage and 12 points of acid damage in the stomach. More importantly, if you do not survive the Fortitude save each round, then All life energy will be sucked and reduced by one level." Zhao Xu described to everyone the serious consequences of being swallowed.
Obviously, the two people who had just been swallowed did not survive even one round of damage.
Not to mention attacking the stomach and cutting a passage to escape.
The giant insect Yeying, who was in pain, also began to feel a hint of fear. It began to realize that the man in front of it was not as simple as it had expected.
Although it can easily bully those water-filled mages with its "spell resistance".
But the man in front of him almost pierced it with just a casual sword. This fear made the giant insect Yeying give up the idea of attacking instantly.
It also immediately made a mysterious "neighing" sound, as if calling its companions.
"This is the summoning ability of the Giant Insect Night Shadow. It is generally seen in high-level monsters, such as demons and devils. They can arbitrarily recruit a group of lower-level purgatory creatures than them."
"The same goes for giant insect night shadows. They can summon undead creatures once every night. The team is probably 9-16 shadows, 3-6 high-level shadows, or 2-4 fearbound spirits."
As Zhao Xu delivered his lines, the shadows and the Terror-bound Spirits began to appear in front of everyone, and the aura of decay they exuded made people even more uncomfortable.
Some of them even complained in their hearts that Zhong Xia didn't need to be so sincere. In order to demonstrate to them, he really didn't stop the other party from summoning monsters.
"It seems that we are not very lucky. Normally, summons arrive within 1-10 rounds. Unexpectedly, we arrived in the first round." Zhao Xu said with a smile, "But it's not a big problem. These summoned undead creatures usually arrive in the first round." They will serve the giant insect Yeying for one hour, but we can ask them to leave in advance."
"Extremely effective spells, spell chain hair, spell twins, hammer of justice!"
Before these undead creatures could stand still, Zhao Xu had already completed the spell, and in an instant, several force field hammers accompanied by afterimages flew away.
Each of these summoned undead creatures had two handfuls each, which was a clear hit.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, your "Hammer of Justice" alone causes 2 times 264 (33D8) = 528 damage.]
General spells have a damage limit. For example, the Ice Cone spell cast by the giant insect Yeying has a damage limit of level 15. The "Hammer of Justice", which has no damage limit, directly exerts a damage limit of level 33 under the effect of Zhao Xu's caster level. The power!
"Generally speaking, destroying summoned objects is the best way to ask them to leave. However, if the priest is strong enough, he can also disperse them." Zhao Xu said without pain while standing.
At this time, the giant insect Yeying began to twist his body in fear after seeing Zhao Xu's "Hammer of Justice" spell that could output at least thousands of damage.
"Well, it's scared now and is activating the 'Transportation' spell."
Zhao Xu analyzed it for everyone, "But we have to stop him."
"Teleportation is prohibited here!"
Zhao Xu lightly stepped on the ground with his feet, and instantly a shimmering emerald green barrier was activated from his body, tightly locking the area with a radius of 6 meters.
During these 17 days (level/day), inter-dimensional travel is no longer possible in this area. Everything from flashing to teleportation gates, to transformed spirits, teleportation to other worlds, and gates to other worlds are all ineffective.
Zhao Xu, who was speaking "laws", naturally completed the casting of the eight-ring spell "Dimensional Lock" secretly. Like a four-ring dimensional anchor, his spell rays have to hit the opponent.
"If it can't teleport, it will naturally choose to walk on its feet."
At this time, the giant insect Night Shadow had already twisted its body and was preparing to drill back into the soil.
The people watching shouted loudly, but they did not dare to step forward to stop him.
"Now that the introduction is almost complete, we will collect the body of this giant insect Yeying."
"Necromantic Immobilization Technique!"
A three-ring spell firmly fixed the "Giant Insect Night Shadow" in front of him, unable to move.
"Come up here and chop it to death with one knife each."
