Chapter 363: Auction
The old ghost woman was dressed in rags and no armor.
But its extremely tough skin and strong damage reduction give it the courage to ignore normal attacks.
Damage reduction is for each attack, and it can negate some of the damage.
Once the monster has this terrifying ability, it means that the other party will not be afraid of low-level crowd tactics from now on.
Generally speaking, there are only a few monsters that have no weakness in their damage reduction ability.
Otherwise, most of them will have specialized defects. As long as you use a weapon made from the corresponding material, it will be effective.
For example, the damage reduction of the old ghost woman, which can be broken through with cold iron weapons or magic weapons, is also the weakness of most damage reduction abilities.
It's just that the most common magic weapons are not affordable to ordinary people, and with the special materials "Pure Gold", "Mithril", and "Cold Iron", ordinary people will not really bring seven kinds of weapons, so unless they are specifically targeted, they have to rely on their faces to make a hard trip.
This is also the reason why the sea of people tactics that Earth players have tried and tested in the vast number of online games will fail in Arthur.
The old ghost woman seems to be only level 11, but in fact, after the human race of the earth crosses, even for the head player, it is extremely threatening.
In an instant, the old ghost woman had already killed everyone, and her bruised skin was matched with disgusting abscesses, and a strong stench hit her face.
With this kind of majesty, even the many cavalrymen who stood back in full body armor couldn't help but take a few steps back.
After someone shouted the name of "old ghost woman", many people were already frightened in their hearts.
In Arthur's horror legends, the old ghost woman has always been famous, not much smaller than the undead or even the devil.
They are able to transform into spirits to invade the dreams of creatures, and then spend the night riding on the victim's back, making people suffer.
Even after waking up at dawn, the victim will find that his constitution has dropped by 1 point.
Only Zhao Xu, from beginning to end, looked calm, as if he had chopped wood thousands of times, and waved his own will at the old ghost woman.
The Super Demon Scepter itself is made of hard material, and it is also a magic item worth 170,000.
But it's not a magic weapon, so naturally it can't penetrate the old ghost's damage reduction.
If it weren't for the various abilities that were guaranteed to be superimposed, it was likely that they would not be able to cause even the slightest wound.
It's just that in the eyes of the old ghost woman, these are nothing more than that.
Looking at Zhao Xu's swing, it had the confidence to eat this pastor's stick.
I just don't know if the caster on the opposite side can keep an eye on its disease-related biting attack.
Although Zhao Xu has reached level 6, because most of his ranks are mages and dossier scholars, his attack level is not very high, and even the current third-level warriors may not be comparable.
However, at this time, even if a pig is put here, its punch, with the blessing of various mystical abilities and spells, is no less than the punch of the level 10 warrior.
"Dark Knowledge" Tier 3!
"Intellectual Piety" Level 2!
"Praise" Tier 3!
The three are one, and they are fused and superimposed together, making Zhao Xu's blow like a blessing to the soul, and the trajectory and castration of the attack are extremely tricky.
This kind of power has already made the old ghost woman who came close to her slowly feel the rapid attack, with a little fright.
It's just that it still firmly believes in its innate defense ability, which is comparable to +4 full-body armor, and firmly believes that it can survive it.
Until, Zhao Xu's cane touched the skin of the old ghost woman.
Immediately, the tip of the staff burst out with a phantom full of dead intent, and the illusion came from life, and the shadow was full of shadows.
It was like a giant bat, opening its sharp fangs and biting head-on.
This scene made the old ghost woman finally change color!
It finally knew that the caster wasn't trying to kill it with a stick, but to cast a spell on it!
The mage's melee contact spell has to consider the fact that it can only take effect when it hits, so many ordinary mages have to worry about the risk of close proximity on the one hand, and their own hit ability on the other hand.
As a result, mages are rarely prepared to get close to spells.
But they have the huge advantage of being able to ignore any armor and innate defensive armor.
The moment you touch it, it means that the spell has been cast.
For example, a spell like "Electric Claw" can be transmitted by the current generated by the spell itself the moment it touches the armor, so no matter how high the armor defense is, it will not help.
What's more, spell damage ignores damage reduction.
[Adventurer Midsummer, you cast the three-ring "Vampire Touch" on the old ghost woman, dealing 20HP (6D6) damage and gaining 20HP temporary life for 1 hour. 】
[Adventurer Midsummer, your HP increased from 30HP to 50HP.] 】
Vampire Touch.
A spell that deals damage and grants equal health.
It is also one of the few spells in the mage class that increases the maximum amount of health in addition to false life.
In an instant, Zhao Xu relied on this spell to suppress the damage of the old ghost woman from 70HP to 50HP, and at the same time, his own and the opponent's HP were close.
Let Zhao Xu's health soar to the forefront of the player in an instant, even if a level 4 barbarian does not open the berserk technique, it is only this health value.
At this moment, Zhao Xu's three dimensions, whether it was attack, health, and defensive armor, directly exploded the vast majority of warriors and barbarian players.
Under the premise that most of his abilities are blessed around the clock, Zhao Xu at this moment is enough to act as a powerful warrior and stand at the forefront to resist.
"Ahh
Just when Zhao Xu was holding the scepter and was about to take advantage of the trend, he found that after the old ghost woman let out a terrible scream, her whole body began to blur, and she slowly transformed into a spirit body.
Little by little, it crept into the spirit realm.
In front of Zhao Xu and others, he escaped to another plane.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu also shook his head helplessly.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the "dimensional anchor" of the fourth ring or the "dimensional lock" of the eighth ring, and he is not capable of this kind of escape behavior at all.
Originally, the mages couldn't beat the trick of teleporting Laipi to run, but now it was staged in front of Zhao Xu, a mage, which made him a little crying and laughing.
"Captain?" Zheng Xinyun was also a little stunned at this time, looking at the old ghost woman with heavy thunder and small rain.
The momentum that had just come from the attack was like a storm coming.
It's just that in an instant, the opponent's blow will not succeed in escaping, and it will disappear invisibly.
Zhao Xu is also helpless about this, he doesn't have the courage to fight at all, and he is embarrassed to be a well-known horror monster that can stop children from crying.
But immediately behind him, there were several sounds of falling to the ground.
Looking back, it was a group of cavalrymen who had already weakened their legs, and they had just been intimidated by the old ghost woman, and they finally mustered up the courage to attack each other.
At this time, after the old ghost woman escaped, the breath of horror in her heart was finally relieved.
"We actually chased away a powerful 'old ghost woman'." The warrior Chuck was no longer as heroic as he had been, and he was panting with cold sweat wiping his forehead.
He knew that today's scene would probably be enough to be written into his own biography, if his descendants were prepared.
"It seems that there are not many legends about the old ghost woman around here." Zhao Xu looked at the somewhat paralyzed state of everyone, knowing that there were probably some historical reasons for this.
"Captain, why did the old ghost woman run away?" Eliton asked after exhaling.
Naturally, it wasn't up to them to scare away the old ghost woman who was standing behind.
This means that the strength of his own captain, single-handedly, has surpassed that of a powerful old ghost woman.
"The old ghost woman cast the 'Traveling with the Spirit Realm' spell and escaped." Zhao Xu explained.
The old ghost woman saw that he had cut a full 20HP with one blow, and she was able to give up everything immediately and run away immediately.
After a while, Zhao Xu also began to understand this kind of clever monster, and it was no wonder that he was able to survive near Mystra.
"Traveling to the Spirit Realm?" At this time, Mrs. Betty could not help but ask rhetorically, her voice with a slight murmur, as if full of unconfidence.
"That's right." Zhao Xu confirmed.
Before coming, after knowing that he might meet the old ghost woman, he had already made enough preparations, including reading all the information about the old ghost woman.
Not to mention the knowledge test of herself, in fact, the old ghost woman's ability is clearly recorded in black and white.
Zhao Xu was also a little hard to believe at first glance.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Chuck noticed for the first time that Mrs. Betty's face had changed several times, and he suddenly realized that there was a mystery inside.
With the spirit world, this spell that I have never heard of, I'm afraid it's a bit of a problem.
Could it be a powerful five-ring spell?
And after Mrs. Betty calmed down her emotions, she said slowly: "I thought that the old ghost woman's prestige was loud enough, but I didn't expect that we still underestimated each other's abilities. ”
Her face was half tangled, half bright.
Even if Zheng Xinyun's shining armor on her body at the moment was still radiating this glittering daylight light, she still looked at Zhao Xu unstoppably, that kind of bright light full of hope.
"How?" Another elderly guard asked.
Lady Betty's lips closed slightly, "That's the Nine Rings Spell." ”
Like thunder, it swept through the hearts of countless people.
The people begging for food in Mystra understand the meaning of the Nine Rings spell, so even if the monster can get on the side, it will be of great significance.
If you knew that the old ghost woman still had the power of the Nine Rings spell, I am afraid that most of the cavalry would have lost their weapons and fled in the first place.
"Search and find no traces, and then let's go."
Zhao Xu also commanded at this moment.
His voice was not loud, but it smashed into everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Even without the orders of Chuck, the chief of the guard, and Mrs. Betty's orders, even the cavalrymen who had already fallen to the ground stood up, intuitively obeyed Zhao Xu's orders, and looked for traces around the room.
Because everyone is already aware of it.
What does it mean in itself to be able to drive away the old ghost woman who has the Nine Rings of Spells and the Wandering Spirit Realm.
-------
In the entire search process that followed, even Zhao Xu joined the search group, and even used some spells.
A group of them still found nothing.
It was as if this burned house was just a temporary place for the old ghost woman to stay.
Or the secret of the house itself has long been buried by the fire.
Then everyone returned to the carriage and set off again, still talking with great interest about the episode of meeting the old ghost woman.
No one could have imagined that a group of their average cavalry of one or two levels would still be able to escape smoothly under the opponent's hands, and they could even be regarded as repelling the enemy.
In particular, the cavalrymen who successfully shot the old ghost woman felt a little high-spirited on their horses, and they felt that they would go to the town tavern to brag about their bulls, and their faces were bright.
Eventually, they made it to Lady Betty's maiden home in Frostdew, where they were entertained and stayed overnight.
On the second day of the period, Zhao Xu was still under the leadership of Mrs. Betty, and took a cursory look at the simple folk customs of Frost Dew Town, and Zheng Xinyun also found a few gadgets at the stall.
Until the sunset sprinkles on a corner of the courtyard, dyeing the stone rockery with the golden poetry before twilight, accompanied by the sound of the stream spring "gargling".
Zhao Xu looked at the "Auction Invitation" wrapped in the pitch-black cover in his hand, and was silent in his heart, the time was tonight.
