"Is he the one with the sword on his back?"
"Yes, that's the man surrounded by a group of core Yanan players."
"It's quite big. Have you ever secretly detected it?"
"Hey, I tested it. There are at least ten fools like me. I didn't get any information. I guess it's because I added a spell to block detection, which was a waste of my spell slots."
"You're not so cautious, are you?"
Most of the players who came down to the mysterious cave underground followed Zhao Xu's prompts and came to a vast square.
The more powerful undead creatures seemed to have fallen into deep silence, with not a single one emerging.
The occasional wandering skeletons and zombies were quickly eliminated by the players with focused fire.
At this time, countless players followed, and this was their first opportunity to observe the rumored "Midsummer".
Even the most conservative and cautious players were scanning his body with appraising eyes at this moment.
But what everyone was most curious about was the equipment he was wearing at this time.
Although the detection magic cannot scan Zhong Xia's information, he is wearing a golden hourglass pendant, a star-studded cloak, a jeweled headband, a suspended crystal on his forehead, a burgundy golden underwear, and four floating rings above his head. A variety of colors of iron stone, crimson boots, and two sparkling rings on the fingers are worth a lot just by looking at them.
Among the twelve magic equipment, only the wrist and outer body armor are missing, which has made countless people curious about what each item is.
After traveling through time, everyone has witnessed Zhong Xia perform several miracles, and there is no doubt that all of his body are magic items.
"That headband with gems strung on it should be an intelligence turban considering the mage's status. I don't know which level it is, 2, 4, or 6."
"That belt that looks like a hemp rope should be regarded as a monk's belt. It's strange. A mage in Zhongxia must have low perception. Wearing this thing can't increase the defense level much."
Most of the people staying in this square at this time are powerful players.
But even this group of high-level players couldn't identify how many magic items Zhao Xu had on him.
At this time, Zhao Xu stood silently in front, reviewing the contents of the "Devil Device" in his mind.
The main reason is that what he is going to do next is quite risky and may lead to a riot in the whole cave underground, so he needs to be the first to summon everyone here.
He was also counting down in his mind, secretly counting the fluctuation time difference of the entire Demon King's device.
"Mr. Zhongxia, do you want us to cooperate?"
A priest player standing behind asked, and his tone was extremely polite, but it still attracted angry looks from several people around Zhao Xu, as if they should not disturb Zhong Xia's thoughts.
Seeing this scene, the priest player felt helpless.
Originally, he just wanted to come in, take a stroll, and then go out, but now it has taken him a day or two. Who knows what the situation is like with his family outside.
Especially in the underground cave, when he prayed for spells, he felt an oppressive and suffocating feeling. Even the divine spells given by the gods were less than usual. If he continued to delay, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
After Zhao Xu heard this, he directly activated his flying ability and floated.
The robe behind him was constantly swaying with the cold wind in the cave.
"Everyone move closer to the inside and form a radial defensive formation."
Finally, Zhao Xu, who flew to such a high altitude that people had to look up to see, shouted.
Basically, everyone who could come nearby gathered here, and for the more remote groups, he was unable to do anything for the time being.
Although they didn't know what Zhong Xia meant, the players below still intuitively reorganized the formation according to his wishes.
If Arthur players want to compete with powerful monsters in the early stage, they will rely more on their formation advantage.
Take the fewest blows and hit the strongest fists.
Therefore, formations for various situations were slowly promoted and evolved continuously. At this time, they used the most widely spread radial formation to deal with enemies from all directions.
"Our top priority now is to find the 'teleportation gate' that leads out. So next, I will use the mysterious knowledge obtained in this cave to inspire special methods. Then the aura I exude will attract people from the teleportation The undead creatures from the door are attacking."
"So as long as we move in the direction of the undead creatures, we can slowly find the location of the exit portal."
Zhao Xu used magic to spread his voice, trying to cover the thousands of people around him.
"Therefore, in the following process, undead creatures will continue to appear to attack us. This requires everyone to work together to block the attacks of the undead creatures and prevent them from overwhelming our formation."
Zhao Xu said in a firm tone, "As long as I can hold on to the first few rounds and give me enough time to counterattack, I will wipe out the strongest monsters, so you don't have to worry about being killed."
"I will take the lead and stand at the forefront."
At this moment, Zhao Xu was standing high in the sky, looking down at the bustling group of players behind him.
"good!"
"We listen to you!"
In an instant, several players started to cheer and cooperate. They spoke enthusiastically and excitedly, directly echoing Zhao Xu.
Suddenly everyone made a buzzing sound, half communicating and half echoing Zhao Xu's statement. Most of them followed his footsteps honestly and allowed him to drive.
Zhao Xu also nodded with satisfaction.
Things should not be discussed by the public. Unless it is a vote, otherwise if a complicated matter is discussed by everyone, many people's opinions will be involved, making the entire circle of interests bloated.
In the end it will be difficult to accomplish anything.
Therefore, Zhao Xu never thought of discussing with anyone from beginning to end, and just decided with one word.
Having watched lectures by successful masters, he knew very clearly that whether a lecture makes sense or not is one thing, the key is to have people who admire it.
While he was silent, he had quietly used the "Suggestion Technique" on several players who were already on his side, asking them to speak out in support when the plan was announced later.
But he didn't expect that among the people who had just stood up, he had cast less than one-third of them, and they naturally responded to him.
His "reputation" has been established.
"Then let's go!"
As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked solemnly and slowly flew to the center of the team. The players had already formed a formation, greatly shrinking the original area.
And in this position, he is best able to take care of the results from all directions.
"Dancing Lights!"
Zhao Xu then cast this zero-ring spell, and four circles of light like oil lamps suddenly floated in the air, following his will and wandering to the front, guiding the team's direction.
The thousands of players below also drew their weapons and held up their shields. Spellcasters such as mages, priests and druids also cast spells in advance to bless themselves.
According to Zhong Xia's words, the next war is completely inevitable.
Because of the long-lasting nature of Zhao Xu's spells, the base spells last for 24 hours.
As for the ten minutes per level of spells, at his 33rd caster level it was 330 minutes.
Coupled with the spell delay, that is 660 minutes, a full 11 hours, so casting the spell twice a day is enough to fully cover it.
"Investigation network!"
A ranger's first-level magic that is invincible in reconnaissance!
Zhao Xu used this spell when he was cooperating with the "Watcher Guild" outside the city of Mystra. According to the level of one person at level 2, the forty-person adventure team at that time all had an 80-level reconnaissance bonus. .
He crushed all the monsters in the forest area around Mystra on the spot and was in an undefeated position.
At this moment, under the six-meter radius coverage area, Zhao Xu could easily upgrade the group of people in the core circle to hundreds of levels of reconnaissance.
In an instant, these players exclaimed and looked at their dynamic information panels, and at the same time raised their heads and looked at Zhongxia above.
"Let me go, is it true that what was originally said on the forum about increasing the reconnaissance bonus to level 80 is true?"
"So the big boss above is the source?"
Zhongxia didn't stop to explain, he continued to cast prophecy spells -
The first ring is "Omens of Disaster", the second ring is "Divination", and the fourth ring is "Prophecy" to reveal the next development.
Under his current caster level, these spells can all return an accuracy of 90%, and the error of adding the three together is only about 1,000.
Sure enough, the spell instantly gave him a "Prelude to a War" level of urgency.
Omens of Doom represent "danger," and over the next hour, he will face the typical challenges of an adventure: challenging but not excessive monsters, dangerous traps, and other risks.
However, Zhao Xu still had a headache.
It's all dangerous to him, so what can other players do
This means that if other players use it, it will be a higher-level "big crisis".
This means that players will encounter serious threats, powerful hostile monsters and even deadly traps.
The "Divination" feedback is "good and bad", which will bring both good and bad results. It seems that they will kill some people and then successfully find the portal to go out.
"Prophecy" will give useful suggestions on things, purposes or actions that the caster should undertake within a week.
A typical answer may be a simple statement, or an obscure rhyme or omen.
The feedback at this moment is a motto -
The aura of fear will fall from the sky, and the indestructible undead creatures will burst out of the tombs, gazing at the world with burning red light in their eyes.
Zhao Xu frowned slightly, but he obviously didn't even need help from the "live audience" and immediately understood what kind of undead creature he was referring to.
There are no monsters that Arthur cannot destroy, so this passage refers to the ability of the opponent to resurrect itself, of which ghosts and vampires are the most typical.
The fire burning in the pupils essentially refers to the soul fire of the skeleton creature. In addition, it can also emit "fear aura", so there is only one kind of undead creature left -
Lich.
The lower limit is very high, and the upper limit is undead. The key number is still "them".
Somewhat disgusting.
One of the seven giants of the Mage Association is a lich who is not "evil".
Zhao Xu no longer thinks highly of the Lich's abilities. The key is that the opponent can cast spells, so the competition with him is a spell battle.
After half a quarter of an hour, they still did not encounter a large army of undead creatures. The captains of each team below carefully reminded the members not to relax their vigilance.
During this period of time, Zhao Xu completed the detailed battle plan for fighting the lich and considered whether it was necessary to distribute it to everyone for understanding.
Just like when he wanted to fight the old hag, Zhao Xu used restraint to target the opponent's various abilities and thought of various countermeasures, so when he broke in, he was confident.
He ensured that his side would not be killed first.
A complete combat plan is the fundamental reason why every battle mage can survive.
The more they moved toward the darkness ahead, the more they realized that the road ahead became wider and not as narrow as they initially thought, and the formation did not undergo much deformation.
It's just that everyone's guard has not been put down. The size of the area means that the monster's warning will be huge. They don't believe it if there is no giant insect night shadow here.
"There is a monster, in the cave ahead at nine o'clock!"
Suddenly, the player in the central area who was blessed by a "reconnaissance network" shouted, directly turning everyone's attention to that location.
And in that pitch-black void, countless "skeletons" suddenly spewed out from it, as if a torrent had burst its banks, pouring in with an unstoppable momentum.
The skeleton is essentially a template, but its power only depends on the number of hit dice of the monster in front of it. The strongest one is only around challenge level 8.
After seeing clearly that it was the Queen of the Skeleton Sea, everyone felt a little relieved.
Even if everyone finds that the team is still surrounded by lethal monsters such as "Troll Skeleton" and "Cloud Giant Skeleton", after all, it is still a queue of skeletons that can be hacked to death, not those encountered by the strongest undead wave that cannot be dealt with at all. Horrible undead creatures.
The skeletons at the front immediately intersect with the short blades of the players. Although these skeleton warriors only have ribs and bones, they are also equipped with steel shields and scimitars. When they swing at humans, if they are not careful, they can also cut off their arms. Remove.
Such a hand-to-hand exchange would be brutal enough even in a street fight.
Because all skeletons are fearless and fearless, they act as consumables.
The vast majority of players, before traveling through time, had never even experienced street fighting with a steel pipe, let alone such hand-to-hand combat.
If someone is not careful, they will be disemboweled and see their intestines flowing out.
This is also the reason why the earth will suffer great losses when the undead wave occurs in the early stages.
Zhao Xu also saw this scene and finally acted alone.
Fortunately, the players now are all people who have seen blood. Even without the Resurrection Stone, they are still extremely fierce in fighting for their lives at this moment. They can hold the front line at once and prevent these skeletons from rushing to the rear.
As a commander, what needs to be considered is not only the content of the battle, but also the entire logistics support and preparations before the battle.
If you don't prepare first, you have to do it during the battle.
Zhao Xu looked at nearly a thousand players gathered together. Many of them did not have dark vision and could only barely illuminate with torches.
But as a huge sea of skeletons surrounded them, they slowly penetrated into the formation of all players.
The torches that were originally held high also fell to the ground with the push, and the players in the dense formation did not have much room to move.
Some players have even accidentally injured their own people due to unclear vision and confusion.
"Pang Dun, you cut me."
"Master, do you have eyes? You didn't retreat before you saw me?"
"After this fight, let's see if I can fuck you!"
In an instant, some of the angry ones started shouting curses, even using keywords such as genitals to insult them.
In response, Zhao Xu could only shake his head. Can't these people learn to shut up and fight
If the delay continues, the players will start to get into chaos.
Just when the players started to feel a little upset, Zhao Xu's loud voice sounded in the sky again.
"War spells."
"Friendly Vision."
War spells are indeed spells suitable for war.
Even though Zhao Xulin urgently used his potential points to simulate the expertise of war casting, he still couldn't help sighing at this moment.
The players who were noisy and yelling this time immediately returned to their original order.
All players were surrounded by the "green light" specified by Zhao Xu when he cast the spell. Each player could see the green light emitting from each other's team, even though it was clear across the darkness and thick fog across the lake.
This avoids accidental damage to friendly forces.
But in fact, there is still only the light of the torch below.
These green lights are everyone's inner illusion, so they can distinguish them.
Just like shackles, some people's hearts are born locked.
While Zhao Xu looked at the fierce scene below, he did not take the initiative to deal with these skeletons, but focused on the idea of assisting.
Since you want to run a business, you have to train your team well.
Invisibly, Zhao Xu had already acquiesced that the people below him would be his "subordinates" in the future.
"War Spell—Battle Frenzy."—Human Rage.
"War Spell—Rejuvenation."—Fast healing per capita.
"War Spell—Cure Minor Wounds."—Per capita recovery status.
"War Spells—Magic Weapons"—Magic Weapons per Capita.
…
Gradually, as rays of magical light fell onto the land below, these thousands of players suddenly discovered it.
How do they become more courageous as they fight? When did these skeletons become as weak as chickens
