maze
Zhao Xu was somewhat unexpected. This was not the outer realm of the Demonic Network pit that he had expected.
In this case, it would be troublesome.
Zhao Xu frowned slightly. The will of the Spider Queen Rose was deeply integrated with the deep pit of the magic web, like a trinity.
This is also the reason why the opponent expands the area of the Magic Network Pit, and why oneself can continue to improve its strength.
But this also revealed another point, that is, Rose's control over the entire plane was far beyond that of ordinary abyss lords.
And this level is suppressed by His will, so it is almost impossible to teleport in the deep pit of the magic network.
The only way for most people is to find the weak point of suppression and use "transportation" to leave.
But it is basically impossible to use "teleportation" and "arbitrary door" to cross thousands of miles at will on the entire level.
Only certain subordinates of the Spider Queen who are extremely favored will possess those extremely evil "mysterious geometric carvings". Possessing them can allow these believers to teleport between designated locations in the Demon Web Pit.
Zhao Xu remembered that the specific shapes included steel pyramids, silver balls, bronze eight-pointed stars, and blue crystal cubes. It would be good to plunder one of them depending on the situation.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu restarted his daily morning routine.
It stands to reason that he has been upgraded now, with a basic caster level of 9 on the magical side, level 1 ritual, level 1 iron stone, level 1 tattoo, level 5 physical sacrifice, and level 2 sacred poem. When combined, he has a full 19 class.
Logically speaking, this is Zhao Xu's final magical caster level.
However, he has the "Realm of Decline", which can increase the caster level by an additional half.
Therefore, some one-time improvement methods can also be activated and used at this time, substituting the 50% improvement effect in the "Realm of Decline".
In an instant, "Magic Rosary" (4), Ascension Ankh (4), Mana Enhancement (2), Holy Emblem (1), Skilled Spellcaster (Potential Simulation, 2) and other means were used one after another by Zhao Xu.
Therefore, the caster level for him to cast "Realm of Decline" is 19+13=32, which is converted into a level 16 increase.
Therefore, Zhao Xu's caster level for the next day is fixed at 19+32/2=35.
However!
In this pit of magic net, all spells with chaotic or evil nature will work at twice the level of the caster!
The spider web spells will also automatically spread to cover twice the area. At the same time, the poison attack difficulty will be increased by 3 levels, and the duration of summoning poisonous insect spells and spider walking spells will be doubled.
Even the natural recovery speed of evil creatures will be doubled, making it a naturally evil and chaotic place.
In other words, when Zhao Xu uses Domain of Decline, his level 32 will be regarded as level 64!
In other words, the 50% improvement brought by "Realm of Decline" is also 64/2=level 32.
In the end, Zhao Xu, who completed the spell in the abyss of the magic net, will have a caster level of 19+32=51. This effect will continue to be maintained even if he leaves the abyss until the 24 hours of the spell are over.
And during this period, the "chaos" and "evil" element spells cast by Zhao Xu will be regarded as 52*2=level 104 caster level!
He couldn't help but shake his head. The environment of the Demon Network Pit felt too strong.
If there was a fast passage, he felt that the time for preparing spells every day would need to be changed to this level.
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that his "Hammer of Justice" spell can reach 54D8 damage. With the twin ultimate and powerful effects, that one shot is 54*8*2*1.5, a full 1300 HP damage!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu walked forward without hesitation.
The front was a maze. At first glance, it was still composed of countless overlapping floors. He tried knocking on these seemingly flawless rock floors, and they were all at least 1 meter thick.
At the same time, under Zhao Xu's subtle observation, the natural patterns of these rocks had some subtle changes, as if the twisted bodies and faces of those fallen souls were eternally imprisoned inside, constantly wailing.
He also noticed that sticky spider webs appeared in the passages of the maze from time to time. Just looking at them would make him feel deeply uncomfortable. It was not a place where people could live with peace of mind.
"Fireball!"
In an instant, an extremely violent and extremely powerful fireball was thrown out, and it sank directly into the spider web in front.
However, the blazing high temperature had no effect at all.
After the flames subsided, only the walls of the maze were left with burn marks, but the cobwebs soaked in mucus were not damaged at all.
Zhao Xu understood that these spider webs were immune to fire, cold and electric shock damage just like in the records.
At the same time, in the distance of the spider web tunnel, there is an endless cloud of smoke, full of corrosive smell, shrouding the entire space in darkness, as if huge waves are rolling in the deep sea.
With a slight discernment, he understood that once he entered this blocked cloud, if he failed the save, he would be sucked into the chaos of the bottomless abyss forever.
This scene is already similar to the Magic Network Pit described by the outside world. So the place he is in is undoubtedly the "Magic Network Pit". He also understands that the rumored Magic Network Pit is attached to countless sources of darkness. The above is absolutely not nonsense.
Compared with the original "Great Abyss" level, the risk of this Demon Network Pit far exceeded his imagination!
But this also means that Zhao Xu cannot use the idea of "forcible destruction" to break out of this maze, because if he is not careful, he will fall into these clouds.
After sighing, Zhao Xu also cheered up, knowing that he could never take it lightly.
After silently mobilizing the plane knowledge in his heart to search, he obtained the key information and understood the key elements of his departure.
Generally, there are various metal doors in the deep pits of the Demon Network. They will stand in front of various mysterious passages. Most of them lead to pieces of smoke, and they also lead to many demiplanes, and even Rose. In the huge conquest plan, those key points in the world of the main material plane.
Those places have long been completely conquered by Rose's slaves, and are filled with dark elves, demons and other slaves. They can run out of the Underdark at any time according to Rose's orders and launch death charges against the entire main material plane to fight for their gods. Open up the territory and allow more planes to be swallowed up by the Demon Network Pit.
Generally speaking, when exploring the Demon Web Pit, you mainly have to avoid the drow patrols that clear the passage, as well as the demons and spider-like monsters that carry out Rose's orders.
Therefore, Zhao Xu is not too worried about this.
But after taking a few steps, he noticed that some mutant spiders crawled out from time to time, and they also pounced towards Zhao Xu with great malice.
Zhao Xu took the initiative to kill a few and then became impatient.
He directly cast the four-ring spell "Fire Shield" to cover himself, and also used "Spell Duration" to hold it open for 24 hours.
At this time, a shallow layer of flames surrounded his whole body. At first glance, it seemed that he had set himself on fire, but in fact the flames were extremely thin and slender, appearing violet.
Once any monster attempts to attack him, it will suffer 1D6+ level damage from the "Fire Shield".
With Zhao Xu's current power, 1D6 damage is nothing to worry about, just drizzle.
The key is the additional level damage, which is more than 50 points. Generally, weaker monsters will be burned to death by the flames on the spot.
After the warm fireworks appeared, Zhao Xu instantly felt the malice coming from the shadow.
But he was not moved at all, just stared.
Slowly, a huge deformed spider walked out of the darkness. Its claws were extremely thick and long. Its blue body was more like a super-large version of a mosquito. At the same time, its front claws also had terrifying barbs with sharp tips. Foul-smelling mucus leaks from the mouth.
Hunting spiders!
Zhao Xu was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that what he encountered was not the "Molten Wax Demon", Rose's first favorite demon, but a monster like the Demon Hunting Spider that appeared first.
The Demon Hunting Spider's body is about the same size as a plowing horse. If it spreads its legs, it can reach a size of three to four meters, and its weight exceeds a full 2 tons.
True to their nature, demon-hunting spiders instinctively attack all creatures they see. Even other demons are their hunting targets. They are also very omnivorous and will not refuse any type of creature.
The demon-hunting spider immediately breathed out, and a spider web that covered the sky came overwhelmingly, covering all the sight in front of Zhao Xu's eyes.
Zhao Xu has already cast the fourth-level "Freedom of Movement" spell. During the spell's duration, he can still move and attack normally even under the influence of magic that hinders his movement.
From paralysis to heavy fog, slowness to spider web, he can even escape automatically from grapples.
For a demon like the Demon Spider whose challenge level was only level 10, Zhao Xu didn't hesitate at all and remained silent, observing the strangeness around him to see if more demons appeared.
But what disappointed him was that there was only one demon-hunting spider here.
Anyway, compared to the mindless mutant spider, although this 11-intelligence demon-hunting spider cannot speak, it can still communicate telepathically.
Zhao Xu immediately gathered a "Hammer of Justice" spell, but he was ready to go, just aiming at the demon-hunting spider.
He didn't even need to fire it directly. The demon-hunting spider with intelligence could directly feel the horror of this "Axiom" hammer that dealt nearly a thousand damage!
Its legs immediately became weak and it fell to its knees.
Forehead
Zhao Xu was slightly startled.
He hasn't even started yet? There wasn't even a threat, so the demon-hunting spider surrendered
Anyway, the abyss itself is a place full of betrayal, and these demons are not known for their "loyalty".
Zhao Xu sighed slightly and said, "Where is this?"
The demon-hunting spider itself could understand Abyssal and immediately understood what Zhao Xu meant. It lowered its front legs slightly and sent a telepathic message: "Salute to you, great mage."
"This is the 'Spider Labyrinth' in the Pit of the Demon Web. This maze can confuse people. It is a place used by the great Spider Goddess to cultivate new varieties of demons and spider-like monsters. Occasionally, the goddess's servants Prisoners will also be released deep into the maze to quell the hunger of the arachnid inhabitants."
"Generally speaking, monsters from the main material plane cannot reach here. I don't know what channel you used to get here."
Zhao Xu was slightly startled. He didn't expect it to be a place like this
From this point of view, the special arrangement of the portal is also intentional.
He looked at the situation around him with a surprised look. He really didn't get any more information, and asked curiously, "Then what are you responsible for here?"
The demon-hunting spider continued to bend its joints, "I was assigned here to eliminate the type of spider that failed to evolve."
"Are there any famous landmarks near the maze?"
Zhao Xu asked as he stepped hard on the solid floor. The more famous the location, the more likely it is that he will find clues.
The other spiders that live here forever may not know it, but this demon-hunting spider that has "transportation from another world" and is also back from the abyss must know the inside story.
The demon-hunting spider hurriedly explained with fear, "There are two well-known places nearby. One is the Prison of Rose. It is said that there are some existences that cannot be destroyed among the old enemies of the goddess Rose, or Often banished to Lolth's prison because of their resilience or charm."
"It was a flat and tiny world with a diameter of 600 meters. I once escorted prisoners into it. There were five small suns shining on the surrounding dark starry sky. Their colors ranged from red to white. A huge bone colossus. Guarding certain imprisoned prisoners.”
Zhao Xu suddenly became curious, "Where is the remaining one?"
"It's the Hole of Urgashek, itself a huge stone-walled house located near the nearest main passage. Rumor has it that there are constant gasps coming from inside, and that there are red bodies in the hole that splashes midnight. The tongue, which devours and digests everything placed on it, has had a terrible reputation since I was born."
"Eventually these materials will be transported to a layer of weird bottomless abyss called Ulgashek. Some people say that is the 92nd layer, a living layer."
Zhao Xu shuddered slightly.
He had also heard the legend about Urgashek.
It is said that that level is composed of the internal organs of unimaginably huge creatures. The blood vessels are like rivers, surging and transporting organic materials, while the flesh and blood organs are like fruits hanging high in the sky, constantly secreting corrosive liquids and falling to them. Living ground.
Just looking at the description, it looks like the abdominal area of a huge monster.
Mainly because some key points were somewhat similar to the characteristics of that terrifying world, so he was deeply impressed.
The Demon Hunter also continued, "The servants of Goddess Rose generally use it as an efficient garbage discharge outlet, or as a place of execution for prisoners."
Zhao Xu urged directly, "Then take me there."
However, the Demon Hunter shook his head bitterly, "I have the talisman cast by the goddess on my body, and I dare not leave here without permission."
Zhao Xu shook his head, "No, just take me to the place in the maze with the least teleportation suppression."
A faint intuition told him that there was something very strange about the Urgashek Hole.
