Chapter 397: Choosing the Lord
At this time, Zhao Xu telepathically signaled to Vivian, she immediately nodded, took out a handful of gold coins from her arms and stuffed them into the arms of the two players who pointed the way.
"Your pay." Vivien said in a cold voice.
With that, she lifted the Holy Avenger in her hand again and flew towards Zhao Xu in front of her.
Now her goal has become to assist Zhao Xu to get those brass treasure chests.
"Big brother, are we still keeping up?" The ranger swordfish tangled.
In the entire flat nest, when you look up, there are dense and countless mutant scorpions, some of which can no longer accommodate them, so they can only be stacked in a staggered manner.
As if they had received mysterious instructions, these mutant scorpions had burrowed from the countless tunnels of this maze to this central lair.
If it weren't for Zhao Xu and Vivian's ability to fly, it would have taken them more than half an hour to squeeze through the hole where the scorpion had escaped.
"We're retreating from other mouths, and that's not something we can intervene in." The warrior Beiguo took the gold coin money bag in his hand, I am afraid that there are no less than fifty gold coins in it, which is completely enough for their harvest tonight.
"Just?"
The forest ranger swordfish looked at Zhao Xu, who was killing at the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but show envious eyes, "We can't say we can follow them." ”
"A little ambitious, okay, we players want to follow the big guy among the players, if you take refuge in the NPC now, you will be looked down upon." Warrior Kita Kuni Yoshimasa said rhetorically.
"One day, we player mages will be as powerful as this NPC mage."
The warrior's eyes seemed to glow.
As for Zhao Xu at this time, he was constantly waving his wooden stick wildly.
Because his Dreadnought, Rhino Charge, and Staff each brought double damage, he did not deliberately encounter giant monsters at this time, and Zhao Xu also saved his own one-ring spell slot and no longer activated the ability of the rune staff.
Just relying on the two abilities of Fearless and Rhino Rush, he has made his one-hit damage as high as 60HP, and he can see who is second.
The only thing he needed was that he had to rely on his charging ability to launch.
Along with Zhao Xu's own flying ability, his whole person was like an iron warrior, constantly rampage at the entrance of this cave.
Everywhere he went, he was wielding a huge stick, not fast, but also chaotic, and there would be a catch.
Slowly, the corpses of the mutant scorpion throughout the cave began to dense.
And these mutant scorpions, even if they are reincarnated as humans, it is difficult to understand why this mysterious man in front of him who does not look good at swinging the stick and has a speed similar to that of ordinary people-
It was able to slaughter their mutant scorpions so easily.
There are many warriors in the world who have reduced their strength to ten hui, but it is definitely the first time that a mage with 8 strength like Zhao Xu has fought in close combat.
For all players, the only means that can stack up damage is their own strength and weapon enchantment, and then there is the special ability of the Holy Warrior's "Evil Slash".
It's like Zhao Xu, every time he attacks there, it's three times or four times the damage.
Ordinary people usually play perfectly in order to cut out the "critical hit" damage that is close to the peak, which is only twice as much, and only the legendary giant scythe is barely four times.
It's like the man in front of him, like the knife with four times the critical hit, which forcibly turned the world of Arthur, where the warrior struggled to survive, into a "real Arthur peerless".
Even if Zhao Xu triggers a critical hit himself, he can double the damage even more, reaching five times the peak of 100HP.
"I'm coming." Vivien also sprinted over in the scorpion tide flying in the sky at this time.
Her body was already stained with a lot of juice that was sprayed after killing insects, and it was no different from Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu looked at the side, and the super-small mutant scorpion that was still burrowing out of the ground kept coming out of the ground, and without paying attention, it wrapped around his thigh.
The speed at which they spewed out was completely faster than the speed at which the two of them could strangle.
Even if Zhao Xu freely activated the sword qi of the "Blade Cloud" on his body to kill, it would be useless at all.
Even those mutant scorpions that attacked, there were always some who were able to get away with Zhao Xu's weak point, and successfully broke through the barrier of his mage armor to break through the defense.
It's just that in the end, it was successfully blocked by Zhao Xu's star cloak that stimulated a meteor glow.
"Into the hole." Zhao Xu shouted.
After confirming the brass treasure chest and picking it up, his goal has begun to change, and he no longer simply wants to fight to the death to obtain life energy.
As Zhao Xu's figure broke into the deep passage, he suddenly found that there was a turbid aura inside, and the waves of scorpions that were densely piled up spread all over every corner of the entire passage.
If you are allergic to insects, you will faint when you see this scene.
It was only Vivian who was born in an abyss with even worse environmental conditions that she was able to slash and kill all the way with Zhao Xu without any scruples.
Next, Zhao Xu stimulated his sword qi in each round, and kept rushing forward to kill.
At the same time, his own wooden stick hammered every mutant scorpion that blocked the road, until the whole corridor was filled with that fishy smell.
Zhao Xu also discovered for the first time that mechanical repetitive slashing will also cut to the point of numbness when he is not a machine.
Halfway through, he caught up with the speed of the mutant scorpion's advance and managed to intercept the second brass chest.
Reluctantly reinvigorated his morale, he continued to kill towards the end of the passage.
"President, I'm afraid this is not the way to go?"
Vivien shook her head and shook the sweat from her hair.
For some reason in this winter, the heat gushing from the leylines was much higher than before, making them all sweat.
"Hmm."
Zhao Xu also sighed, at this time he already felt the soreness and numbness in his hands, and then it was a tingling sensation.
"In this position, I'm afraid I won't be able to clear much by releasing the fireball technique." Vivian helped Zhao Xu analyze.
The fireball technique with a radius of 6 meters only cleared the 12-meter corridor, and the entire circular area was basically wasted.
"Don't worry."
Zhao Xu was relieved, he was also out of breath at the moment, holding on to the wall with one hand and his knees on the other, and he didn't care that his hands were full of sticky juice from the explosion of insects.
Other mages have to be carefully selected when learning spells, and generally spells with the same function will not be repeated learning.
Because the transcription spell is too expensive, just the borrowing fee, that is, 50 gold coins per page, and three pages for the three-ring spell, that is, 150 gold coins for copying a three-ring spell.
Not to mention the ink loss fee for transcription.
Because at the beginning, he blessed too many spell slots on the melee side, even if he could merge two second-ring spells to become three-ring, he was still starting to struggle at the moment.
This also made him look forward to it, when he reached level 9.
If Zhao Xu's combat power at level 1 is 1, then his combat power at level 6 is now 10.
And at level 9, he has potential points and can infinitely spell slots, and his combat power is 1000.
At that point, even if he had fought with the Nine Rings Mage, he still had this confidence.
In an instant, the corridor that had been cleared out of a little space by Zhao Xu, after he stopped moving, countless dense small mutant scorpions appeared in front of him in an instant, occupying the field of vision.
Those large and above mutant scorpions had already sensed the terrifying threat of the wooden stick after Zhao Xu's sprint, and began to run away from him.
At the same time, he constantly commands countless small mutant scorpions to build a wall to block his path.
Although Zhao Xu felt that he was almost at that energy bottleneck, he was now in a state where his strength had just been exhausted, and he was completely exhausted.
The mutant scorpions around him surged towards him even more frantically, trying to hit him with their claws and tail spikes.
Then he was stopped with difficulty by the armor and the cape of the stars.
"President, stand back first." Vivien whispered at this time, now her Mithril armor has also broken in some weak joints, and she has successfully attacked her with these breakages.
It was only a slight injury, and she immediately healed herself with the holy healing ability of the holy warrior.
On the contrary, Zhao Xu, a priest who was born with healing spells, has not successfully used several healing spells in the four months since he started serving.
Eighty or ninety percent of ordinary priest spell slots are consumed in healing spells.
"No, no."
Zhao Xu glanced at his spell position, gritted his teeth and looked at the army of mutant scorpions in front of him like a black cloud pressing down on the city.
"I'm going to start clearing the road, and we're going to rush over it right away. Any more consumption here will only be blocked. Zhao Xu admonished.
He didn't expect that the mutant scorpion mother worm in this nest would be so capable of giving birth, and he forcibly blocked their way with an army of scorpions.
"Okay." Vivien nodded solemnly.
Suddenly, the sand above Zhao Xu's head suddenly cracked, and then a whole litter of ultra-small and small mutant scorpions fell directly onto his body.
It wrapped around him like a curtain of insect clothes, and even turned and swelled on him.
Vivien's eyes widened instantly, and she hurriedly swung the long sword in her hand, but she couldn't swing it.
She knew that Zhao Xu was fine at the moment, but once the other party lost consciousness or fell into a helpless state, then the army of mutant scorpions in front of her would be able to easily bite him to death.
And Zhao Xu seemed to have lost all his strength like an old man who was dying, and it was difficult to lift the arms of many scorpions that he had already attached to.
His middle finger barely passed through the swarm of mutant scorpions that enveloped him, revealing like this, pointing to the tunnel in front of him that had been blocked by the insect tide.
"Lightning Beam."
Fingertips surged with dancing lightning, and blue arcs of lightning rushed down through the two realms.
A long whip-like lightning beam of nearly thirty or forty meters pierced the void and reached the other side.
The gold, silver, copper, and lead in all the ores along the way were melted in an instant, and all obstacles were shattered to the end.
The corridor, which was still impermeable just now, was cleared out of a passage forty meters long in an instant.
The mutant scorpion, which was originally alive and kicking, died in pieces under this lightning beam with a 10-60 damage range (10D6), and there was not even the slightest ability to struggle.
They couldn't even make the most basic convulsions, and they just lost in place, corpses, scorched scars of lightning.
"Fly."
Zhao Xu rushed forward violently.
In the next blockage, another "lightning beam" runs through the front, illuminating the entire dark passage.
Until the end, Zhao Xu struggled with all his strength.
The moonlight shone faintly on his tired but determined face.
Reva Frost poured over his cloak of robe stained with mutant scorpion juice.
If he didn't take a shower four or five times when he went back, Zhao Xu would definitely not be able to get rid of this nausea.
It was only at this moment that Vivien immediately raised her long sword that shone with cold light in the moonlight and blocked in front of him.
She looked at the cavalry in front of her, as if she were dead.
On the slope in front of the entrance to the cave was a cavalry unit in heavy armor, led by two young men in the same costume.
Around them were crouched oversized, giant, and even giant mutant scorpions that had escaped in the first place, and the dense crowd of other sizes occupied the entire mountain.
Looking at the few mutant scorpions led by them obediently bowing their heads and knees towards the two young men in the front, Zhao Xu immediately understood that this underground nest was actually the owner of the thing.
That is, the treasure chest of his way, which was placed by the family forces behind this young man.
"You dare to take the treasure chest that our family has placed here without permission, and you two thieves still don't hand them back." One of the young leaders, pale-faced and with a hint of pride, shouted angrily.
"No, just kill them and take them from the corpses. They have touched the family secret and can only die. Another young man with a resolute face said.
He waved his hand directly, and suddenly the cavalry all over the mountains rushed towards them.
