Chapter 311: Intelligence Interception
"Aren't rabbits white?" It's a little hard for others to understand.
In fact, Zhao Xu, who has no experience in the field, naturally thought that rabbits were white at first.
It wasn't until after the crossing that they began to need to eat, and they needed to hunt and prepare food on their own during the journey.
In the wild, pure white rabbits can't survive at all, because the white color is too dazzling.
Most of the rabbits that Zhao Xu and others saw on the earth were white because they were domestic rabbits.
When Zhao Xu explained this, a deep chill suddenly grew in everyone's hearts.
This kind of Xifeng Valley, where you will casually encounter a fierce bear, has an average level of 5, and it is really not qualified to settle here.
In other words, there are no ordinary civilian villages, let alone rabbits.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Xu had the "True Perception Technique" on his body at this time, he could see through the transformation and illusion, otherwise he would have been able to deliberately pretend to be the enemy of that rabbit.
Frost Sword immediately arranged for the wanderers in the team to carry warning colored cigarettes to search for traces nearby, and once something was wrong, they rushed back, and in case of attack, they threw colored cigarettes.
At this time, Zhao Xu and the others were observing the waters ahead.
At this time, the surface of Jingyue Lake is calm, and there are only occasional waves caused by a breeze.
"Mr. Tempest, is there any spell that can observe the condition at the bottom of this lake?" Originally, Frost Sword was still full of confidence in underwater exploration.
It's just that now he encounters this captive-bred white rabbit, coupled with the deliberate attack of the previous troll and goblin troops, has cast a deep shadow on his heart.
Even he suspected that there was some trap waiting for them at the bottom of the lake.
"The water flow vision of the five rings can detect specific organisms in the water."
For the rest of the words, Zhao Xu didn't say much - he couldn't release this spell now.
"The mage is really still strong, although it has to be the five rings to achieve it. But I've found that most of the needs actually have spells that can be solved. Frost Sword sighed.
Zhao Xu smiled, in fact, if he was level five now, he would be able to cast the spells of "Secret Eye" and "Peeping into the Demon Eye" to create an observable "Demon Eye", and then stationed around for reconnaissance.
And if Zhao Xu could release the "Water Flow Vision" spell, he would definitely release it on the spot without hesitation.
The Watchmen Guild was unaware of the existence of "Caring Persons" observing them in the first place, and it is likely that the target was exposed in Mistellari.
Because Frostsword had searched the city for the "Breath in Water" scroll, according to this logic, it was easy to deduce that they needed to "dive to find the Mage Tower" as long as they thought about it, and the destination was naturally only the lake.
So when creatures suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake to intercept them, Zhao Xu was not surprised.
"Brother, I didn't find it within 100 meters." At this point, Xue Xue walked over with another Ranger woman, reporting to Frost Sword.
And a fighter who had trained his swimming skills also returned to report that there was no problem after diving. At this time, only the wanderers who had gone to reconnoiter farther away had not returned.
Seeing this, Frost Sword also relaxed a little and said, "Mr. Tempest, then let's confirm the details after the water will enter the lower level?" ”
And the mage Chen Nuo and several high-ranking members of the surrounding trade unions did not raise any objections to this, and they all listened with their ears pricked up.
After Zhao Xu listened, he was a little big.
Frost Sword itself is cautious enough, and he was born in Mister and received the influence of magic, but he still does not have the consciousness of guarding against magic snooping in his mind, and simply thinks that no one around him is safe.
It's no wonder that the fact that they got the address of the Mage Tower leaked out.
Zhao Xu thought about it or popularized it to a few people, in a society where there is a magical civilization, secrecy work cannot be speculated with common sense.
"Frost Sword Leader, have you ever thought about the possibility that this area we are in now is actually being monitored?" Zhao Xu said.
For a while, everyone's faces changed dramatically when they heard this, and they immediately looked around at each other's surroundings.
Zhao Xu looked at everyone's eyes and still didn't fall on his companions, and he also smiled, and he had to write a "pit prevention guide" to the player when he turned around, so it was inevitable that he would be too eager to kill the mage.
"One may be that someone has used the 'transformation technique' of the second ring, and after knocking out our companions, they will change into the appearance of the other party and come in to impersonate them."
"Another possibility is that the other party directly adopts the method of 'invisibility' and hides here."
This time, as soon as Zhao Xu's words fell, everyone suddenly looked at their companions suspiciously, as if they thought that Zhao Xu had seen through something.
Zhao Xu already had the "True Knowledge" on his body at this time, and he had also confirmed everyone's appearance, but he knew that there was no fake.
However, he didn't intend to say it, preferring to make everyone have a little bit of vigilance in their hearts. Because when he goes into the water, no one on the lake will have the effect of true knowledge, and everyone will have to be blind.
Immediately, he gently tapped on the interface of his invisible ring, and suddenly the whole person disappeared directly in front of everyone as if the optical special effects had been turned on.
After all, the "Invisible Technique" is a well-known second-ring spell, and everyone was not surprised for a while, but they realized that they were indeed negligent at the beginning.
Zhao Xu immediately canceled the stealth effect and re-revealed it in front of everyone.
"Mr. Tempest, you can just talk to us, you don't have to waste spell slots." Frost Sword saw that Zhao Xu didn't agree with each other and showed off his spells, and said a little distressed.
"This one is activated at will, from this 'invisible ring' on my middle finger, which can be activated at will." Zhao Xu said calmly.
At this time, everyone also reacted, Zhao Xu was invisible without chanting the spell just now, and it was indeed invisible by relying on magic items.
"Mr. Tempest, how many gold coins does this ring get?" The wanderer thief couldn't help but show a look of surprise in his eyes, looking at Zhao Xu's palm, like a woman looking at a brilliant diamond ring.
"Twenty thousand gold coins." Zhao Xu said embarrassedly.
And Zhao Xu's words almost made everyone present sound in surprise.
"That's enough to swap for ten magic weapons." Frost Sword couldn't help but sigh.
The ordinary equipment on all the people present, counting the expensive armor, the forty people combined, were not as expensive as Zhao Xu's ring.
Originally, the wanderer who wanted to have an invisible ring that could greatly improve his sneak attack ability almost rolled his eyes when he heard the price.
Even if he was the main force in the water this time and could distribute more gains, it would be impossible for the Mage Tower to let him get an invisible ring.
Zhao Xu saw that everyone's attention was divergent, and he was busy talking about the topic, "The third possibility is to listen to the monitoring type of spells." Perhaps everything we say now has already been known. ”
Zhao Xu once used the second ring "Spymaster's Coins" to create a bugging coin that triggered excitement, and used the "Alarm Enchantment" to remind him that someone had entered, and then activated the coin.
After he mastered the three-ring method, he was able to perform the "Sharp Ear Technique/Eagle Eye Technique" at a distance by designating a place that he had learned, so as to arrange a magic induction field to listen and monitor.
In the back, there are also long-distance probing spells such as the three-ring poet spell "eavesdropping coins" and the five-ring "exploration technique".
Suddenly, a lightning-fast inspiration crossed Zhao Xu's mind, which suddenly illuminated all his thoughts.
He thought to himself: It's really dark under the lamp.
As he spoke, he walked over to the rabbit, which was already hanging from his legs.
Just now, he relied on his "true knowledge", and after glancing at the rabbit, he was attracted by the fact that the rabbit is not wild, and forgot about the other point.
At this time, everyone looked at Zhao Xu and listened to the rabbit, and they all knew that there was bound to be something strange here, and they all watched his actions with wide eyes for a moment, studying carefully.
And Zhao Xu directly cast the "detection magic" of the zero ring, and suddenly the originally ordinary rabbit revealed a layer of magical light, but it lasted for a short time, and disappeared after only one round.
Zhao Xu secretly thought: Sure enough, it's a pity that after the spell is terminated, there will still be 1-6 rounds of residual aura, which also makes him catch the last horse's feet.
"There's a two-ring spell called 'Shared Body'. This spell allows the caster, after touching an animal, to gain the animal's senses to look around, see through its eyes, and hear through its ears. ”
In an instant, all eyes fell on the snow-white rabbit that Zhao Xu was holding at this time.
"It's just that the other party chose the White Rabbit, didn't he throw himself into the net?" The poet Colu asked in surprise.
"No, it's just for us to catch this rabbit and throw itself into the net so that we can hear our conversation up close." Zhao Xu looked at the rabbit's red eyes at this moment, and said in a leisurely tone.
"Because ordinary hares, if they dare to enter the range of adventurers, they may be killed casually and used as food, and only this strange white rabbit will be kept alive and able to stay and listen."
"But wouldn't that be a bit far-fetched?" The poet said.
Zhao Xu shook his head, "This spell itself is just a 'minute' level duration spell, so the other party is just trying to squeeze out its value as quickly as possible." And since this is done, I am afraid that there are other means nearby. ”
Seeing this scene, everyone didn't even dare to speak out for a while.
Zhao Xu, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows and began to deal with this spell attack and defense battle in the intelligence dimension.
"Why don't we communicate in the language of the earth? In this way, the other party has no power to know. Xue Xue suggested.
"What about Mr. Tempest?" Thief Zhi frowned and said, this wind mage doesn't know the language of the earth.
"Isn't it a teleportation technique with a zero ring?" The warlock standing in the corner said excitedly, "This spell allows the caster and the target creature to talk softly and almost never be heard by others, so that Chen Nuo can cast it by Chen Nuo and then communicate with the wind mage." ”
It's just that Chen Nuo shook his head directly, "The communication technique is just that the voice can't be heard, but you still have to open your mouth, if the other party can see us here, you can see through the ability to read lips." ”
Zhao Xu smiled when he heard it, and sure enough, when it came to the spells above the three rings, everyone didn't know much.
"The Mage's Three-Ring Spell Clever Speech Technique allows the caster to understand and speak any language, including your Earth language." Zhao Xu corrected everyone's mistakes at the beginning.
"Then we will write Chinese characters on paper in Chinese, and clever speech always does not include writing." The snow continues to make up for its own scheme, only then it will be a lot of trouble for them to communicate.
It's just that without waiting for Zhao Xu to refute, Chen Nuo has already corrected first: "The proficiency of the language of the first ring can make people understand the literal meaning of the text." ”
Everyone fell silent for a moment, which meant that even if they didn't communicate with the Wind Mage, their own communication would be recognized.
It's not like everyone is stepping on the beat and typing Moss code to communicate.
In fact, Zhao Xu knows that if everyone converts what they want to say into pinyin on paper, and then mixes part of English, then I am afraid that the enemy may not be able to see through it.
It's just that these words can't come out of the mouth of him, the "disguised" mage Arthur.
At this moment, Zhao Xu took out a piece of copper wire from his backpack, and then began to chant a spell and cast a spell.
It wasn't until the copper wire felt the power of the spell and began to hum.
"What kind of spell is this?" Frostsword was curious.
However, he was immediately stunned and covered his mouth in disbelief.
Even all the members of the Watchers Guild looked at Frostsword in amazement.
Because, the frost sword did not speak.
But his voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's hearts.
