Chapter 275: The Undead (1/3)
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Xu didn't even think much about it, and directly cast the second-ring spell "Immortal Veil".
As a dappled white light bathed his body, Zhao Xu's face turned pale in an instant, and then returned to its normal ruddyness.
It's just that at this time, he has re-plated the "appearance" of an "undead creature".
To the undead, he is of his kind.
Because Zhao Xu saw a pale figure almost two meters tall in the front, floating in the air, but its appearance was very different from the image of a ghost or even a bound spirit.
"It's the Shadow." That's when Lux blurted out.
"Sooner or later, I'll brush up all the undead because of this half-plane of death." Zhao Xu complained.
Although he didn't know what kind of creature was in front of him, the instinct of that moment just now made him decisively cast a spell first, disguising himself as the same undead creature.
"The Shadow is a medium-sized Void Undead creature, and the Void Creature is the kind of 'Ghost' you've encountered before. However, the shadow refers only to the undead in front of him. The 'ghost' is a template for any creature to become a ghost after death if it has a grudge and its soul is infected with negative energy. Shadows are more of a definitive undead like skeletons, zombies, and ghouls. ”
Lux went on to explain, "The Shadow itself has the supernatural ability to 'generate derivations', and once a humanoid is injured to death by the other party, it will become a similar 'Shadow'. ”
Zhao Xu looked at the shadow in front of him, and thought to himself that these creatures were similar to the "Fear Spirit" he had encountered before, and if he was killed by the other party, he would become the other party's derivative body and become a new "Binding Spirit".
However, these "ghosts" and "spirits" are all the same kind of data panels, and they will not inherit the power of their lifetime, so they will not be as incalculable as the upper limit of "ghosts".
And this ability to create derivative bodies is also a point that these undead creatures are quite difficult to deal with.
For example, Zhao Xu's "Blood Oath" that he used with the "Family Command Technique" before, once the recipient dies, he will become an undead creature.
The effect is equivalent to the "Evoke Necromancy" spell by the Six Rings, which can summon ghouls (level 11-), demons (levels 12-14), mummies (levels 15-17), demon corpses (level 18+), etc., according to the caster's level.
Among them, Zhao Xu's caster level corresponds to the "Demon Soul Corpse" with a challenge level of 8.
It also has the function of creating a derivative body, so if that scene really continues, that castle will become a paradise for "demon corpses".
Looking at the "ghost" standing at the end of the corridor ahead, Zhao Xu judged the advantages and disadvantages of the situation at the scene.
"Does this shadow deal strength or physical damage?" Zhao Xu asked.
With Lux's help, he was able to use his knowledge and skills to conduct searches.
"1-6 (1D6) points of power damage, the premise of becoming a phantom derivation is to be damaged by the opponent's power attribute until it reaches the point of zero." Lux Road.
At this time, Zhao Xu glanced at his character card with only 8 strength, and couldn't help but shake his head, fortunately, he was already disguised as an undead creature at this time.
"How's the intelligence?" Zhao Xu then asked.
"The 'Shadow' at Challenge Level 3 and the 'High Shadow' at Level 8 are both around 6 intelligence. Among them, the power damage of the 'Advanced Shadow' is 1-8 points, and in addition to the better conditions of various conditions, such as the increase in life from 19HP to 58HP expectations, the Advanced Shadow also has certain tactics. ”
Hearing that Zhao Xu meant to do something, Lux fed back everything she knew.
Zhao Xu also weighed it anew, without the support of magic items, he actually couldn't make a wave.
When he first came in, Lux was hiding in his bones, so he escaped the effects of the "Mage Lysis".
It's the same as the "mage cleavage" of Frank, the archmage in the treasure house of Falling Star Town, who could block it by erecting a stone wall before.
And Zhao Xu used the Book of Ten Thousand Laws to simulate for himself before, setting six trigger conditions to break away from the nine-ring "instant shelter" of other places, and reciting the six-ring "gem jumping" spell that was transmitted to the gem storage place, because it was directed at himself.
So the power of the spell is stored in his body.
Naturally, when he came in, he was directly lifted by the "Mage Cleavage Technique", and he didn't feel much distress if he didn't give it to Zhao Xu, and he could make up for it casually in the future.
The other nine-ring "Escape Technique", which was teleported home after crushing the gem, was able to survive because the magic power was stored in the "gem".
It's just that this half-plane suppresses the spell effects of all casters above level 5, so even if Zhao Xu puts it in his mouth and brings it in, he also entrusts it to Antinoya.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu frowned deeply.
The half-plane of the Grim Reaper in front of him was seized by the "artificial Grim Reaper" to seize "control of the plane".
This side of the world is equivalent to being manipulated by the other party, and the "magic net" that has naturally been integrated into the surface attribute is also affected by it.
This is also the reason why the Mage Guild did not dare to exploit the loophole and shrunk some magic items whose caster level was lower than level 5 and put them in capsules for him to put in his mouth and bring them in.
Too jumpy, will only be targeted in this half-plane.
At this time, after Zhao Xu thought about his thoughts clearly, he also put down the idea of attacking and walked directly towards the front of the corridor.
His "Immortal Veil", though ten minutes per level, can last for 50 minutes. However, it may not be able to be used more than one here, so you still have to hurry.
On the one hand, it is to save people, saving Wang Ningwei and Eswig from really falling here.
On the one hand, it is also to see the legendary "Death Godhead Fragment".
After Zhao Xu was infected by the abyssal divine power, his intelligence was synchronized with the data in the game.
This also made him look forward to what abilities he would synchronize when he came into contact with the true divine power of the god of death.
As Zhao Xu's pace approached, the situation at the end of the intersection in front of him became clear.
The end of the front is not not sealed, but a three-way junction, which can be walked from left to right.
"There are too many undead creatures, right?" At this time, Lux couldn't help but exclaim.
Even the waves in Zhao Xu's heart were responding to Lux's words.
Just as far as he could see, he could see that the corners on both sides of the fork were densely packed with no less than twenty phantom figures.
They floated in mid-air, unaware of the fact that they thought they were hanged white corpses, revealing a strange sense of fear.
And a few of them seem to be more formal, and the negative energy fluctuations emitted are stronger, I am afraid that they are high-level phantoms, and they are also the only ones in the field who take the initiative to move, scanning everything on the scene with their own red pupils.
With this kind of number, as long as there are two "phantoms" shooting at Zhao Xu at the same time, I am afraid that he will become a derivative body on the spot.
At this time, Zhao Xu's original "Fireball Technique" that cleared the field also disappeared without a trace, and there were hundreds of phantoms squeezed here, and his Fireball Technique had half a probability of taking effect and killing the other party.
But these high-level shadows are just over his current spell damage limit.
I had to pretend to be like a zombie, limping step by step, looking for the cracks in these shadows to pass through.
Arthur's game, for Zhao Xu, instantly became a single-player horror game.
When he squeezed the two phantoms sideways, these phantoms were flying in mid-air, and Zhao Xu's height was also at the position of the other party's legs, but the phantom itself was the kind of looming and slight movement, accompanied by a pale and gloomy aura, and the body kept moving in front of his eyes.
There were a few times when the feet of these images close to the shadows of the "ghosts" in the earth rubbed directly against the bridge of Zhao Xu's nose, making him almost itch and sneeze.
"Can they withstand this pressure?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but be surprised, and he was somewhat sympathetic to the other party.
And at this time, Zhao Xu also found that the end he thought was actually a transitional room with a huge solid pillar in the middle of it, and after going around, it was still a corridor several meters wide straight and wide, but there was no light behind it, and everything was in the dark.
At this time, Zhao Xu cast an hour-level second-ring spell "Dark Vision" that could last for a full 5 hours.
But when he saw the details in front of him, he stopped.
Originally, he thought that it was disgusting enough for him to look for the portal key in the bone square in the hole.
In front of him at this moment was a field of ghouls gnawing on the ground, full of hundreds of them crowding the road ahead.
"It's disgusting, master, I'll sleep for a while, and then call me when you're done." Lux said immediately.
At this time, the ghouls all emitted a foul stench, like the smell of the corpses of a plague after a sharp decompose.
Zhao Xu once used the nine-ring spell of "Finnish Winter" to block the corpse corruption in front of the "Falling Star Lake", but he didn't expect that he would have to face this situation again.
Even in the underground temple, the ghouls who had escaped from the kitchen that had been locked down for countless years, did not have the strong stench of hundreds of ghouls gathered together at this moment.
[Adventurer Midsummer, you are affected by the "stench" and your immunity fails, and you fall into the "disgusting" state, and your attack, damage, immunity, skills, and attribute checks have a -2 impairment, and the duration is 8 minutes (1D6+4). 】
In an instant, a prompt directly emerged, making Zhao Xu immediately on high alert, and the whole person was also on the verge of explicit.
He wasn't shocked by the negativity he was suffering, but the ghoul didn't have this ability!
Faced with this unknown situation, Zhao Xu tried to retreat, but a more gloomy chill immediately came from behind him, and he was hit by a "ghost".
In this confined space, he had no room to maneuver.
"Master, this is the power of demons, they are just small species of ghouls." Lux felt Zhao Xu's negative state at this time, and instantly woke up and immediately reminded him.
Hearing that this was the ability of a demon, Zhao Xu didn't panic.
The unknown is a mage's greatest fear.
Whether it is a ghoul challenging level 1 or a demon challenging level 3, it is still a threat to level 1 players in the outside world, but for Zhao Xu, who is already level 5 at this time, it is actually just the energy of upgrading.
The only thing that gave him a headache was that he was going to endure the nausea and squeeze through these ghouls?
Seeing the pus constantly bubbling from those ghouls, Zhao Xu felt that he had eaten a little too much for breakfast.
Then he, a mage, is too unstructured.
"Master, there is a way, if we eat a spider now, we can perform the 'spider walking technique', and then we can crawl down the wall without encountering these ghouls." Lux said with an expectant look.
