Chapter 174: Mutual Temptation (3/3)
Eswig had obviously seen the difference in the ground he was stepping on, and directly relied on the greasy area of about 9 square meters to cover Zhao Xu.
Although the oil created by the "greasy technique" had a duration, but for one or two rounds that Eswig could maintain, Zhao Xu was completely powerless to move.
Once Zhao Xu leaves, he will leave obvious footprints on the grease, and even he may not be able to leave smoothly, once he is not careful, he will fall directly.
But if he didn't leave, there was no need to order, and naturally the remaining mages would come forward to grab Zhao Xu.
At this critical moment, Zhao Xu fell into a dilemma.
And at the moment when the spell was about to be completed, a smile appeared on the corner of Eswig's mouth.
To be able to show such obvious feet, it is obvious that she will not be a high-level mage, and even she has vaguely guessed the candidate.
At this time, everyone's eyes were also firmly on the field.
It was also a matter of great pride to be able to find out the instructor who came to watch them, and they could even brag about it when they returned to Floating City.
At this moment, Zhao Xu was very calm.
Mage, precisely because they have countless options.
Zhao Xu can use the "Spell Counter" to try to cancel Eswig's spell.
He can even use the amulet on his chest to push his surroundings back to 6 seconds ago.
However, none of this could hide from Eswig.
Secondary Swift Burst!
Suddenly, the entire tree-lined path, and the entire twenty mages in front of Zhao Xu became slow in motion in his eyes.
Even when they blinked slightly, Zhao Xu could clearly see the movements of the muscles on the eyelashes.
The sound waves of Eswig's chanting spell even rippled through the air.
Zhao Xu has won it, an extremely rare time.
That's enough time for him to make a sprint.
But Zhao Xu looked at the grease layer that was about to form below, if he really ran away.
Then everyone will only see the inexplicable splash on the oil layer.
At this time, Zhao Xu directly drove the pair of "teleportation boots" he was wearing on his feet, and suddenly he looked towards the position where the summoning horse was hidden seven or eight meters behind.
The teleportation boots came into play on the spot, and a powerful spatial power seeped out from the inside, and Zhao Xu disappeared on the spot.
Time resumes flowing.
A thick layer of grease in the square area appears directly in front of the people.
Everyone stared at the grease, but they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Several of the mages who did not give up even risked falling and pounced directly, but they found nothing.
But Eswig didn't show any embarrassment.
She knew she wasn't wrong.
When Wang Ningwei was treating the injured, she glanced at the ground behind her at that time.
So she was extremely sure that that leaf had definitely been stepped on.
And Zhao Xu, who was standing at the end, still had some dizziness on his head, and was experiencing the sequelae of "secondary rapid outburst".
Now he has no problem dodging other people's attacks, but he can't do it anymore if he wants to cast spells or do some complicated movements.
He sighed slightly, too.
Fortunately, he has such an unreasonable spell as "Secondary Rapid Burst".
No matter how fast anyone's spell is, as long as he can react, he can directly cast this spell without going through any complicated process.
This is also the most powerful aspect of the "Intuitive Motion" spell.
All it takes is a thought.
Zhao Xu was more cautious this time, and even when the other party came to search, he would reluctantly remove the summoned horse.
As long as he is discovered, it means that he will be missing a magic item.
After this battle, he has realized the power of the "Invisible Ring".
In a low-level environment that lacks hidden means, if he is a chicken thief, he has some sneak attack ability, and he can completely solve this group of mages one by one.
Even this "ring" does not have any problems with battery life.
And his "Fireball Eternal Wand" is also, permanently 2 rounds per day, which means nothing to say.
According to the price of 375 gold coins for a "Fireball" scroll, basically every time he uses that wand, it means that he has 375 gold coins saved.
If Zhao Xu didn't care about revealing his identity just now, he would indeed have a fireball, as long as he controlled the spell center and avoided those mage players, that group of goblins would be completely the existence that he could eliminate with one fireball technique.
Even the goblin wasn't much better.
After all, there was no one present who had that kind of "reflex dodge" ability, and they couldn't fully exempt the damage of the fireball technique.
Later, Zhao Xu also noticed that those mages had cast a lot of spells, among which mage armor was the most common.
Zhao Xu also waited until all the other party had evacuated for almost half a minute before he untied the reins of the horse and drove the horse to follow.
However, he was also vigilant at this time, although he had just looked at the other party, but he couldn't tell what trap was buried here.
So he was all engrossed in scouting.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's afterglow swept to the corner of the stump with a white light, and his heart suddenly sank.
He immediately clamped his head and pulled the reins of the horse, stopping the light horse under him from continuing to move forward.
Zhao Xu looked carefully at the stump, and there was a silk thread on it that faintly glowed with white light.
Otherwise, the sunlight was more intense, and the other party might be that kind of metal, otherwise he might not be able to notice.
But Zhao Xu knew in his heart that with Eswig's thinking, he would definitely not let go of such an obvious thing, maybe it was a serial trap.
Thinking of this, after glancing at his spacious spell slot, he was also fearless, and cast the first-level magic "Detection Trap" of the druid and the forest ranger on the spot.
As in the form of "detection magic", this type of detection spell erupts into a cone-shaped sector with a radius of up to 20 meters.
In the first round, he can know if there is something ahead of him to detect.
In the second round, he was able to know the number and location of the traps.
In each subsequent round, he was able to know how and what type of trap was triggered, from near to far.
That's where the power of a spell comes in, when the caster level is higher.
Wanderers who specialize in dismantling traps have found that they are not even as good as the casters, and warriors have found that they wield a sword that does less than a tenth of the damage of the caster's sword.
This strong sense of disparity also forced Arthur's adventurers to not hesitate to send their children to study at the Mage Academy.
It's just that after Zhao Xu's three rounds, he found that the information fed back in his field of vision was blank.
As if there really were no traps ahead.
The spell "Detect Trap" is supposed to only detect the simplest of ordinary pits, traps, traps, or natural dangers such as quicksand and stone walls that are about to fall.
There is nothing that can be done about magic traps and complex mechanical traps.
But Zhao Xu is very sure that they don't have the ability to do this.
So after thinking about it for a while, he calmly dismounted and walked over.
Once the situation is not right, Zhao Xu will perform the "Shapeshifting Technique" to switch positions with his mount.
However, when Zhao Xu squatted down and found that the white light was a silver thread, and a bell was tied to the end, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He was still planted on those two clever girls.
It's a pity that the range of this alert spell is six meters long, and he really doesn't have the kind of vision that can be seen clearly from six meters away.
---------------
At this time, Wang Ningwei, who was standing in the team, suddenly smiled.
And after Eswig saw Wang Ningwei's smile, he also leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Found it?" ”
Wang Ningwei nodded lightly, she knew that she couldn't hide the smart woman around her.
Just now, when Eswig saw Wang Ningwei take out the thin silver wire of the bell and place it on the ground, she deliberately walked away to another direction, trying to divert the other party's attention.
Let Wang Ningwei quietly release the first-level spell "Magic Alarm" spell.
After the magic alarm spell is deployed, it can last for 2 hours per caster's level, basically after the level is high, or stacked to level 6 like Zhao Xu, it can replace the function of the night vigil.
As soon as someone enters the warning area with a radius of 6 meters, the alarm will sound an audible alarm or a mental alarm.
You can alert everyone or just the caster.
Wang Ningwei laughed, which naturally meant that someone had entered the spell enchantment she had laid down.
Once Antinoya knew that Zhao Xu was online, and he also relied on this way.
"You're so sure it's him?" Wang Ningwei also asked Aswig in a low voice at this time.
"Apart from him, is there any other high-level spell that is so lame that he can't even see a magic enchantment." Eswig didn't have a good airway.
To be sent by the Floating City, there must be people who can't even release a "secret vision", can't detect the magic enchantment in front of them, and can get acquainted with them, basically except Zhao Xu, there is no one else.
And if the other party hides into the spirit realm with a high-level spell, it will not trigger the enchantment.
But at this time, Wang Ningwei and Eswig both began to determine one thing.
This mission, after killing the bandits, will definitely have a follow-up branch.
"Remember to keep it secret, there must be a reason for him not to show his face," Wang Ningwei still whispered to Eswig.
"Hmph, I think I'm that stupid." Eswig pouted.
