The Truth of Magic

Chapter 310 Replenishing Energy

When Zhao Xu went online the next day, the members of the watchmen union looked at him differently.

Some players who were busy last night and didn't go to the forum also understood such a big event that happened yesterday through the whispered conversations of the union members.

They were only less than a hundred meters away from the center of the vortex.

Several curious players looked at the "Soul Prisoner" beside Zhao Xu who had annihilated the players' souls.

It's just that the soul prisoner has a huge body, and its own prestige is still there, so few dared to approach it rashly for a while.

The undead creature itself is an evil faction. If one is inadvertently launched a "prison body" attack, there is really no room for reasoning.

The "Starry Sky Reflection" appeared in the Northern Alliance area, so among the current top ten players in the forum, most of the players in that area bet on "Starry Sky Reflection".

On Mystra's side, they basically supported "Dongcheng Aya". After the opponent's votes surpassed last night, the players who spent a lot of money betting on her were also happy. few.

And Zhao Xu, who only posted on Dong Chengling's account yesterday, naturally knew what everyone was looking at. Fortunately, he also explained it in the post, so that the players also know the ins and outs, otherwise the way everyone looks at him now is not looking at the strong, but the kind of awe and dodge.

After two months of playing the game, players began to understand the value of attributes.

I also know how precious it is to start with 28 talent points, and those accounts that can register and log in to the Temple of Creation at the beginning, and have 32 talent points to start with, are even more precious.

Therefore, any player who wants to enjoy this game is basically recommended to start with at least 28 talent points, and the two opportunities to start with 22 talent points, as long as the player is not in a tight life, he will choose to give up.

Zhao Xu unknowingly disabled the accounts of the four players yesterday. At the same time, all the equipment on the opponent's body disappeared. Two months of hard work were in vain.

After everyone had gathered, the watchman union and its group set off again, heading towards the "Quiet Moon Lake" at the foot of Xifeng Valley.

Today, he needed to go down to the bottom of the lake to search for the sorcerer's tower. To be cautious, Zhao Xu only used the "summon mount" spell of one ring. Immediately, he, who was only riding the summoned pony, felt that his field of vision was much smaller.

"Mr. Kuangfeng, you 'soul prisoner demon' is so powerful that you can eliminate souls." The chief wanderer in the union, Thief Zhi, came to Zhao Xu's side and flattered him.

Dong Chengling's post yesterday only mentioned that the eight-ring spell "Advanced Raise Undead" can create a "Soul Prisoner" with a challenge level of 11. The back of the post is to introduce the details of the Soul Prisoner, and does not describe the spell in detail.

And relying on the short message, everyone's eyes stayed on Zhao Xu's "Legendary Necromancer Scepter" made of finger bones for no less than five seconds throughout the morning.

Everyone has already understood that the "dazzling" aura detected by mage Chen Nuo with "detection magic" that day, the items that represent legends and even artifacts, probably refers to this staff.

"By the way, Mage Blast, has this undead creature followed you forever?" Kelu the poet looked at the Imprisoner Demon Dao, his eyes revealing yearning.

"Each spellcaster can control undead creatures with four times the Hit Dice of the caster's level." Zhao Xu briefly explained this rule.

The poet immediately realized that this gale mage was level 5, so he could control 20HD undead creatures, that is to say, the 12HD Soul Prisoner had taken up more than half of the quota.

For a while, everyone's sense of awe calmed down a lot. Sure enough, the more powerful the undead creature was manipulated, the more expensive it would be.

It's just that everyone is still thinking about it. The caster level of the necromancer in Zhao Xu's hand is level 27, so it can correspond to a life dice of 108 hd, which means that he can actually control a total of 9 Soul Prisoners.

Now that Zhao Xu was so ruthless, these nine permanently manipulated Soul Prisoners were enough to slaughter the village and wipe out the entire family.

Next, everyone wanted to ask more questions, but they were stopped by Shuangjian.

Then everyone quickened their pace, and finally spent most of the day over a hill.

Immediately everyone's eyes lit up.

The entire Xifeng Valley covers an extremely wide area and stretches in front of it, forming a meaningful landscape oil painting. There are lush and towering trees in the valley, as well as foggy gray jagged rocks, all of which are dyed with a light halo under the sunlight.

What is even more attractive is that the Jingyue Lake is still sparkling in winter. Under the blue sky and the peaceful atmosphere in the countryside, everyone's original exploration thoughts are eliminated. Everyone is immersed in it for a while. In this landscape.

"This scene is quite beautiful." Ji Xue praised, "Without these missions and fights, Arthur would still be a VR tourist attraction."

"It's a pity, if you don't level up, you don't even have the qualifications to come here." Shuang Jian also said with emotion at this time.

When they left the city at the beginning, they could barely see many Mystra villagers, and they were even able to pass by some villages to get supplies.

It's just that Zhao Xu and the others are not heading towards other towns, so people are getting rarer and rarer. Since yesterday, I haven't seen many players. Once away from the densely populated big cities, it means entering the paradise of monsters.

At this time, everyone quickened their pace to leave the hills and head towards the Jingyue Lake not far away.

The president Shuangjian did not let down his vigilance, and still reminded: "Notice that the wormwood here is relatively high, there is a lot of concealment, and there are many boulders, everyone pay more attention."

And Zhao Xu also drove the pony summoned from under him, avoiding the surrounding rock piles.

Suddenly, a wanderer standing in the front and opening the way exclaimed: "Bear, it's so big!"

This scream shattered the peaceful moment for a while.

Immediately, countless "chuckles" and "chuckles" sounded, and the players of the union pulled out their weapons, or raised their longbows, and looked in the direction of the screaming.

I saw a nearly four-meter-high brown-yellow giant bear standing up. As a large creature, it immediately looked down upon the medium-sized players present.

"Dire Bear." A union member who reacted first shouted.

Hearing this, even the careless players became serious. If players don't go to dungeons or some mysterious places to take risks, but only take risks around towns, they will most often encounter these ferocious animals.

The fur and meat of these ferocious animals are often broken down and sold by players for money. Zhao Xu once encountered a dire rat in that sentry tower.

And dire bears can be said to be one of the best existences among dire animals. They have a life value of more than 100 HP at challenge level 7.

Seeing dozens of players, the dire bear let out a loud roar.

Under its weight of three to four tons, which is comparable to the combined weight of two cars, it is full of air and extremely fierce.

After just a roar, the ferocious bear turned around, raised its legs, turned and took a step, and fled towards the lake in front of it.

Although the dire bear has only 2 points of intelligence, it feels instinctively dangerous in the face of dozens of armored adventurers.

"Catch up, play conservatively, and use a net pocket formation." The president Shuangjian shouted at this time.

"Chase, this bear can swim." cried the well-informed poet.

Mirror Moon Lake is right ahead, letting this ferocious bear escape will only become one of the hidden dangers in the future, especially after the main force of the union will be in the water at that time.

Hearing Shuangjian's order, several members of the warrior department sprinted up at full speed, trying to grab the big bear so that it couldn't run anymore.

However, with their size, weight and even their own strength, they couldn't hold back a large dire bear with a strength of 31 at all.

For a while, several barbarians were even dragged to the ground.

At this time, Zhao Xu and the other mages present hurriedly used the "magnifying technique", which instantly made the barbarian and the warrior become a first-class in size, doubled in height, and even weighed eight times what they were before. At the same time, the attributes also get a 2-point bonus from the size.

The situation on the hill was immediately reversed, seven or eight warriors and the barbarians managed to drag the fleeing ferocious bear with difficulty.

And the rogues and rangers wandering around took the opportunity to attack in turn, and immediately the dire bear also started to fight back with its palms.

For a while, even if the melee fighters were wearing armor, they could already hear the dull crashing sound, and many of them who were not blessed with the Enlargement Technique were even knocked into the air on the spot.

In fact, if it was just a group of level 1 novices, then the dire bears would have been slapped to death one by one, but the opponents were facing warriors in full armor, and they had enough defense, so they barely resisted.

Zhao Xu saw that everyone had barely controlled the ferocious bear, and he didn't want to waste too much here, so he ordered the "Soul Prisoner" to go forward.

And the vicious bear roared again when it saw the Soul Prisoner approaching, as if it also felt some kind of crisis.

It's just that the Soul Prisoner, who also has a strength of 28, directly stepped forward to fight the ferocious bear.

"My soul prisoner needs the soul energy of this ferocious bear." Zhao Xu also said at this time.

The warriors and savages who were also fighting all retreated when they heard this. In fact, everyone was quite dangerous just now. Once they were violently attacked by this ferocious bear, they might die suddenly without even being able to save the priest.

Zhao Xu directly consumed the soul energy of those 4 people yesterday, which also caused his "Soul Prisoner" to have no energy to cast "spell-like" at this time.

However, the magic-like True Sight of the Soul Prisoner was still very important to Zhao Xu, so he directly chose this ferocious bear as the fuel for the Soul Prisoner.

It's just that the dire bear itself is extremely strong, and its 19 constitution makes it as strong as 12 levels. With the ability of "prisoning the body" with 19 levels of difficulty, it is very difficult for the soul prisoner to take effect with one blow.

Most of the spells that can weaken the opponent's physique have to pass the fortitude saving first, directly forming an endless loop of no solution.

After Zhao Xu thought about it, he gave up his original idea.

If you can't weaken it, then control it.

As long as the ferocious bear can't move, then his Soul Prisoner can naturally keep trying. The 12th-level Fortitude save needs to pass the 19th-level saving throw, and there is still a one-third chance of failing.

Because after Zhao Xu arrived at the third ring, he had mastered an extremely powerful attribute damage spell!

This spell, even because of its high damage value, has been sealed and rarely known.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu looked at the ferocious bear in front of him, chanted a spell on the spot and cast a second-level necromantic spell——

ghost hand.
