The Truth of Magic

Chapter 89: Spell Turret

Views:

"Zhongxia, are there any traps that you spellcasters have heard of that are stronger?" The poet frog asked Zhao Xu at this time, as if to relieve the tension in his heart.

"Trap? Does it count as half trap and half structure?" Zhao Xu, who kept using his half-bucket of water detection skills to scan the surroundings, said after hearing this sentence.

"Tell me about it?" Antarctic Frog had already realized that Zhao Xu's knowledge was not on the same level as theirs.

Everyone in the team who was originally on alert pricked up their ears and listened.

Most of Arthur's gossips were heard in this kind of intentional or unintentional adventures, and then spread through their own mouths.

"Spell turret, right?" Zhao Xu said.

"Spell? Turret?" Youyou didn't expect that these two things that she didn't want to shut down could be connected in series.

"The spell turret is generally used in places where you don't want anyone to enter. It can identify specific targets. If it is not on the target list, it will start casting spells." Zhao Xu recalled.

"Isn't it the same as the curse trap just now?" At this time, the warrior Maple Leaf carefully held the sword and hid next to Roja. After a while, he began to speak with some strength.

Zhao Xu smiled. He thought the same thing when he saw the curse turret in the floating city.

"There are four spells of the same level stored in the spell, one is released in each round, the energy is re-stored and repaired in the fifth round, and then the spell is released repeatedly in four rounds, and so on." Zhao Xu said.

Hearing these words, everyone almost stopped in their tracks.

Just a spell cast almost killed Maple Leaf. If four spells were thrown at him without mercy, then they could actually collect the corpse for Maple Leaf.

"What's the distance?" Roja, who has been tempered for a long time, quickly grasped the focus of the question.

If it were the same as the curse trap we just picked up, with a triggering distance of only one or two meters, then that would be okay. If you can't afford to provoke it, you can still avoid it.

"This is the scary thing about the spell turret. It has a recognition and triggering distance of nearly 40 meters. And it is usually hidden. It will only appear when it recognizes an unknown target." Zhao Xu explained.

"Don't spellcasters have invisibility spells?" Expert Locke said after being silent for a long time.

Only then did Zhao Xu notice that Locke was probably Luo Ya's academic leader. It was just that there were two extravagant configurations, a mage and a priest in the same team, so he never had a chance to speak out.

"The turret has the effect of true knowledge." Zhao Xu said lightly.

Suddenly everyone fell silent.

"What is true seeing?" Wanderer Rainbow asked after a while.

Only then did Zhao Xu realize that he had bypassed it.

"True Knowledge is a sixth-level spell that can see through all illusions, including invisibility." Zhao Xu explained directly.

God knows how a broken fort can obtain the effect of true knowledge at a low cost.

After hearing Zhao Xu's explanation, everyone suddenly came to their senses.

Everyone may be unfamiliar with illusions, but the most typical "invisibility" among illusions is still famous.

Even in a small town where magic is not widespread, there are still some people who have heard of "invisibility", a wizard's second-level spell.

It was only after mastering this spell that the mages had more capital to save their lives.

Therefore, how to deal with mages with invisible spells has become common sense in all major war professions.

"Hey, it's a good trap, but after dealing with magic, it becomes extremely difficult." Hill, the wanderer in front, also complained.

Although the entire tunnel was narrow, nothing felt strange as they walked down it, and they immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Zhao Xu also deeply agreed with Wanderer's speech.

When he first arrived in the floating city, the black-robed mage told him not to run around because he was afraid that he would trigger the countless spell turrets in the floating city.

At that time, he had just submitted his letter of recommendation, and Floating City had not yet had time to enter his name.

The turrets of the floating city are all connected with the mystery lock, which is more complicated. Sometimes even people on the list who barge in at inappropriate times will be bombarded mercilessly.

Not only was the spell blasted, but also the detention treatment from the spell guards was immediately followed.

He didn't know anything else, but at least there were hundreds of ninth-level spell turrets surrounding the obelisk of the final scroll's headquarters.

As long as someone dares to trespass, energy-absorbing spells, confinement spells, boundary vortexes, and ninth-level monster summoning spells will be thrown at them for free.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly Wanderer Rainbow raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

"I was scared to death, but luckily I didn't step on it." Rainbow said nervously, her face a little rosy.

"There is indeed something wrong." Hill, the wanderer on the side, also squatted down and confirmed Rainbow's judgment.

Everyone's footsteps also stopped completely, and the warrior Hayate, who had been silent at the bottom, turned his back to them.

Both rogues crouched and examined the ground ahead of the tunnel, while others guarded them.

"It's not strange." Youyou stepped on her toes and looked forward.

The road surface of the entire tunnel is extremely smooth, as if there is nothing unusual about it.

"Maybe it's a trap door." Zhao Xu, who had traveled through dungeons in his previous life, said.

Traps in the wild usually have some barbs placed underneath. If an ordinary person falls in, they will definitely die with their little HP, and their adventurers' condition will not be much better.

However, everyone is not blind, and they will not step forward even if they know there is a pit, so in the wild, branches and weeds are usually spread out to create disposable pits.

But if you get some weeds in the dungeon, it means that there is no silver 300 taels here, so you just need to put a sign saying there is a trap.

Even if it is covered with carpet, it will still look strange, so the traps in the dungeon are often made into self-restoring trap doors.

As long as you have enough strength, stepping on it will trigger the switch, and the trap door on the ground will open directly. If you can't dodge, you will fall.

"Mr. Luo Ya, come and press it together." At this time, Caihong has found out that the trap is not the kind that triggers arrows, but is most likely a pit trap.

Roja, who understood, followed the wanderer and pressed the button towards the suspected trap door.

Suddenly, the entire previously intact ground felt like stepping on an empty box. Two two- to three-meter-long trap doors sank downwards, making everyone tense up.

However, after losing the support of strength, the two valves immediately returned to their original shape under the action of the device, only making bursts of buzzing sounds.

Zhao Xu looked a little strange. The trap door was too long, as if it was deliberately prevented from jumping through.

It's just that it's meaningless. They will naturally find a way to get over it after being discovered.

"This device is quite sturdy after such a long time." Caihong complained.

"It's difficult to do. Let's just crawl over against the wall." Seeing this trap, Roja already understood that, like the curse trap, it couldn't be dismantled by two level 1 rogues.

After everyone made some plans, Hill, who had relatively high climbing skills, began to insert climbing iron rods on the wall, and everyone stepped on the iron rods step by step.

At the same time, everyone who climbed over was tied with a rope. If his foot accidentally slipped, everyone would try their best to pull him back.

In the end, it took more than ten minutes, and finally everyone passed, and the iron drills were still left on the wall.

"Let's go ahead." Roja said after watching everyone finish repairing.

The wanderers haven't checked the road ahead yet. Just now, everyone didn't dare to take a few more steps rashly and stayed more than one meter in front of the trap door.

Everyone nodded. If the dungeon was a trap of this difficulty, then victory would be in sight.

Wanderer Rainbow continued to stand in front, searching and investigating while moving forward. His confidence was greatly increased after he just discovered the trap.

At this time, it was only a few dozen meters away from the corner at the end in front.

However, after the team had not walked more than a few meters, he suddenly discovered that at the end of the originally smooth wall, a demon head with two horns suddenly appeared, and light began to emit from its mouth.

"Could it be, spell turret?"

Everyone also noticed this and looked at Zhao Xu in confusion.
