(The problem of repeated content in the previous chapter has been fixed. The last sentence should be "Ahead, a door flashing with dark light suddenly opened!". There are about 16 pages in the Qidian app. If it is not correct, just exit and re-enter the chapter. If it is not correct, delete it. Re-added after the book.)

When in doubt, ask for magic first.

This may not be a common solution for Arthur spellcasters, but it is definitely the preferred method for cheaters like Zhao Xu who have a big family and a big business and don't have to worry about spell slots at all.

Both of the stone structure statues are so strict that they need to be destroyed at the same time within one round, and they also carry an equal amount of damage transfer.

Even if the legendary warrior comes in person, he can't bear to walk around.

The swirling dark light portal in front of him, if there was no mechanism secretly arranged inside, Zhao Xu had to write his name in Arthur's Common Language upside down on the spot.

He was also suspicious.

The simple second secret room actually requires a portal to reach

No wonder he didn't feel much vibration in the area from the beginning, and there was no actual trial space re-created for him.

It seems that the trial site arranged by the "activation cellar" is completely separated, blocking the possibility of taking shortcuts.

"Analyze the portal!"

Zhao Xu immediately performed this three-ring arcane technique, and his eyes immediately filled with a cone-shaped light that spread to a range of 20 meters.

Fortunately, this spell does not require resistance, so it is not affected by magic immunity.

Zhao Xu immediately used the magic eye to analyze the portal information in front of him.

Originally, the power of the spell could be used to search whether there was a "portal" in the scanning area, so he naturally skipped this step and recalled the characteristics of the portal in front of him like a memory.

Open password, affect startup situation, single and bidirectional...

Every round, Zhao Xu got a brand new information, and he even saw the area where the portal led to.

The information about irregular teleportation, random location teleportation, limited creature teleportation, and abnormal teleportation is somewhat vague.

Um

After the last characteristic information popped up, Zhao Xu looked at the crystal lens and small mirror in his hand as spell-casting equipment, and couldn't help but fall into thinking.

It's actually a malfunctioning portal

It will definitely work, but it just depends on your luck.

But this is really a petty thing to do in a place like this.

Didn’t you know that he once stole the craft of “portal manufacturing”

Even now it is possible to use potential points to simulate "portal creation" on the spot, so repairing it is naturally not difficult.

Just in a hurry.

However, after Zhao Xu searched the knowledge (plane) for information about the portal failure, he frowned.

A malfunctioning portal cannot be artificially created.

Portal failures are generally caused by magic power loss and magic power impact over hundreds or thousands of years.

Many magic items passed down from ancient times have mutated, and natural portals are no exception.

But generally speaking, if a portal is not hundreds of years old, it is unlikely to malfunction.

Not to mention that in Ernest's secret treasure, the protection and storage methods of this arcane king will only become more professional and perfect.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu shook his head and then continued to search for portal-related fault types.

When he wanted to build a portal from Falling Star Town to the wild death land, he never thought about this kind of malfunction problem a hundred years later, so he could only rely on his "knowledge" skills to help.

With a "swish" sound, a fault list appeared in front of his eyes, clearly listing various types of portal faults.

Started normally, sent wrong location.

If not activated, a negative energy shock wave will erupt, just like a fatal damage spell.

If it is not activated, it will be like being pushed away by the "telekinesis" effect of a level 17 caster.

Absorbs magic power, causing magic items to become invalid for several rounds, or even permanently.

Looking at these possibilities, Zhao Xu looked at the dozen magic items he was wearing.

Every item was carefully selected by him. If the energy was really sucked away, then he would have the heart to smash this portal.

This is simply an unbearable weight of life!

If any of these magic items were placed outside, they would be priceless and there would be no place to buy them.

It was even worth spending a little more than 20,000 gold coins on a magic scroll of wishing to make a wish to restore the magic items to their original state.

Of course, there is still the possibility of "normal startup" for a failed portal.

But a true mage doesn't bet on "probabilities."

Zhao Xu directly cast a spell "Stabilizing the Portal".

This is a spell similar to the previous "Activate City" and is not in any career list.

Only one link in the "Teleport" field is listed.

In other words, only priests who believe in gods with vocations such as "road" and "travel" and happen to have selected the "teleport" field are qualified to cast this spell.

Just like when Zhao Xu was a level 1 priest, he chose "magic" (spell prefix), plan (spell delay), and knowledge (knowledge piety).

Fortunately, his dossier scholars are all-encompassing. As long as a priest uses a "copying scroll" to copy a divine spell, then that divine spell is within the scope of what the dossier scholar can learn.

As the rainbow light of the spell dispersed, the oscillating dark light shown by the malfunctioning portal immediately became much more stable, as if it had restrained its original irritability.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, continued to stand further forward. His three-ring "Analysis Portal" just now allowed him to have a glimpse of the scene outside the destination behind the portal.

However, the effect of this spell, which required concentration, disappeared after he gave up concentration.

In response, he continued to take out a glass eyeball from his backpack, crushed it gently and scattered the fragments on the portal.

"Visual portal!"

The third spell in the portal sequence—visual portal (fourth ring)!

After the power of the spell was activated, the rippled surface that was originally dark and radiant slowly became transparent on the side facing Zhao Xu.

It instantly acted like a mirror, showing a larger, deeper, silent and dark secret room in front of Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was like a voyeur, pressing his face against the energy mirror, looking from all angles, observing every detail on the opposite side.

It's a pity that this spell cannot pass the line of effect of the spell, otherwise Zhao Xu could use it to cast several more detection spells.

It's blank

Zhao Xu thought to himself.

In his secret room, after all, there are two stone statues and wall lamps that are as unbeatable as Xiaoqiang.

That activation cellar obviously didn't have much artistic talent, and the scenes were made with the roughest art quality. They were copied and pasted directly, just like some old domestic animations. All the trees and clouds were copied from the same piece.

Therefore, the "items" that can appear have the most direct indications.

But there is nothing at the next destination

It's a pity that he hasn't reached level 11 yet, otherwise he would be able to cast the sixth-level spell "Portal Redirection" to directly change the destination of this only magical item that can be transported to the outside world, so as not to be exposed to the bird's breath of the activation cellar here. .

After secretly complaining a few words, Zhao Xu also stood up and stretched his legs to step into the portal without saying a word.

With a sense of distortion of time and space, light suddenly flashed in the tall secret room. After condensing into a vortex, Zhao Xu fell from five meters above the sky like a fixed-point airdrop of supplies.

Zhao Xu controlled his own flying power on the spot, trying to regain his balance.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, you are affected by "Earth Bound" and cannot fly here.]

In an instant, this ruthless reminder came out, and Zhao Xu's face changed slightly and he used the "Feather Falling Technique".

Only then did he manage to control the speed of his landing without falling too hard.

After standing firm, Zhao Xu immediately used his "secret vision" and various detection methods to look around the secret room, which was the size of a standard basketball court.

Nothing different

Zhao Xu was puzzled. He didn't have any psychological shadow, let alone the fact that he now had magic in his hands. Even if he entered the ancient tomb, he was not afraid at all.

Is he afraid of ghosts

It's almost like ghosts are afraid of him.

Just for a moment, Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows.

[Adventurer Zhongxia, your chosen ability and immunity to poison are successful.]

poison

Where did the poison come from

But as soon as his eyes rolled, Zhao Xu reacted.

Annoyed that he was a little naive, Zhao Xu held his breath on the spot, silently took out the colorful spindle-shaped Ioun Stone from his backpack, and let it float above his head.

In order to go on an adventure with the team, Zhao Xu initially picked off all the ioun stones above his head, because they were not of such great significance to his improvement now, but taking them out in Yanan was equivalent to "I have Magic Item" is written on the forehead.

But he didn't expect that if he hadn't been immune to the toxin, he would have almost died.

It's actually poisoning the air!

Zhao Xu couldn't help but have a low opinion of the activation cellar.

In order to target him, all kinds of dirty tricks were used.

At this moment, although Zhao Xu has been immune to the toxin, he still feels uncomfortable due to breathing the highly toxic gas.

Zhao Xu honestly took out the "Ioen Stone" and gave him the power to breathe.

At the same time, he also glanced at his character card panel cautiously and checked it again.

The secret room just now was a test of his attack methods and damage output capabilities.

So what is the test in this secret room

In particular, there seemed to be no active triggering substances in the empty surroundings, and it seemed more like they would actively attack him.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the void -

"Passing requirements: Survive and pass 20 levels."

"Countdown to level 1."

"5."

"4."

"1."

Zhao Xu heard the sound of a mechanism being activated and turned his head sharply.

He saw three crossbow arrows with cold light shooting towards him. Looking at the green arrows, they were already contaminated with poison.

However, he had "Friendly Fire" that could deflect long-range attacks. Zhao Xu ignored it and turned to look at the strange sound coming from his back at the same time.

In the blind spot of sight, six darts were also shot towards this place.

besides!

Zhao Xu's vision of the Crab Turtle made him notice something strange above him. A row of poisonous needles stained with dark green blood struck from above his head.

Attacking from multiple angles at the same time!

At this moment, Zhao Xu already understood.

Since the activation cellar appeared, he has been restricted from teleportation ability, and naturally all displacement abilities cannot be used.

However, when trees are moved to death, people are moved to life. Ordinary warriors do not rely on their skills to dodge the attacks of their respective powerful monsters.

Without saying a word, Zhao Xu instantly cast the ranger's unique magic "Down to Earth" on himself.

[Adventurer Midsummer, you are affected by the "Down to Earth" spell, and you gain a +10 ability bonus on your rebalance, climb, jump, and roll checks.]

After casting the spell, Zhao Xu hurriedly rushed towards another open space, as fast as a glimpse of arc light, which can be said to be as graceful as a giant.

While others were still evading in confusion, Zhao Xu fully understood in his heart.

The three attacks we just encountered are the most common challenge level 1 traps—basic arrow traps, poison dart traps, and poison needle traps.

This corresponds exactly to the first level.

As Zhao Xu stood in this secret room, he obviously directly believed that he had triggered a trap, so these three trap targets were shot directly at him.

To be more exaggerated, traps usually need to be triggered by walking to the corresponding location, but these traps simply aim and shoot automatically as long as they are picked in the secret room.

This also shows that these traps are by no means ordinary and rigid traps, but their intensity is still limited.

However, although Zhao Xu relied on the effect of the Star Cloak and his superb defense ability, he still did not dare to be careless. After thinking about it, he decided to dodge mainly. If he really couldn't avoid it, he would fight hard.

He remembered that there were quite a few first-level traps, but that was it

As soon as the idea came to mind, Zhao Xu noticed that there seemed to be a slowly growing shadow above his head—

Rolling Stone Trap!

A huge rock suddenly appeared high in the sky and fell towards him.

Zhao Xu calmly jumped to his side.

Exactly at this time.

At the next foothold, Duotouduolian was hit by a burst of flying spears.

Flying spear trap!

At the same time, several sickles appeared with iron chains attached to them, drawing a half-moon arc and slashing diagonally.

Sickle trap!

As if hearing Zhao Xu's inner complaints, one by one, the first-level traps came to the front desk, hoping that Zhao Xu would show their presence.

It's just that Zhao Xu hasn't had time to complain yet.

Camouflaged pit traps, deep pit traps, dart volley traps, iron gate traps, sharp wire corridor traps, rock traps, and knife wall traps also attacked one after another, a series of attacks without any repetition.

Zhao Xu, who had not suffered much from the first-level traps in these dungeons, finally made up for his homework when he remembered this moment.

What's even more exaggerated is that these traps all have a reset function. After being used for one round, the boulders, poisonous needles, and darts will automatically disappear, and then shoot out from the void again.

A simple first level, Zhao Xu has endured 10 rounds of first-level traps.

But there was no sign of the end in sight.

The voice in the void just said it politely, and you will be able to pass it after passing twenty levels.

But now, I don’t even know when the first level will end!

Zhao Xu thought like this and couldn't help but glance at the ordinary walls around him.

Want him to destroy it

Do you really think your uncle's "dispelling magic" was a joke
