Chapter 173: Counterattack (2/3)

After seeing the mage fall, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel nervous.

According to Antinoa, if these 20 people are killed or injured, his "Invisibility Ring" and "Fireball Eternal Wand" rewards will be canceled.

Zhao Xu could only hope that there was no critical hit on that arrow at this moment.

After the player gets the character level, the health will only be -10HP before dying, so if there is no damage of ten or twenty shots, it is not enough to kill a level 1 mage in seconds.

And after that arrow, I saw that there were several arrows and several javelins in the forest, and they were attacking the positions of these mage players on the spot.

After reacting, the novice players shouted on the spot and retreated, also retreating towards the rear.

At this moment, nearly twenty orange and even slightly dark red goblins rushed out of the barren bushes.

The goblins were just over a meter tall, and most of them held rudimentary javelins or maces, and some of them were dull and gray with one-handed shields.

These goblins are slightly different from the green-skinned goblins, known as goblins, in fantasy films, and their eyes are as dull as glass balls.

And the last of these goblins is a big goblin, as a cousin of the goblin, wearing a blood-red leather armor with black stripes, and the longbow in his hand shows a faint glimmer, and it is well maintained.

Apparently the arrow that had just been spearheaded was officially sent by it, when the goblin bared a foul mouth of yellow fangs and shouted, "Cubs, kill these mages and rob them of their equipment. ”

In the face of this urgent scene, the mage players present, especially the taller ones standing in the front row, hurriedly put on their mage armor, and even the various toads, ferrets, and ravens on their bodies also jumped up with the chickens and dogs.

It's not that they don't want to cast early in their journey at first, it's that level 1 mages can only last for 1 hour without increasing the caster's level.

Unlike Zhao Xu, it can last for 6 hours, and even Zhao Xu has a level 2 spell slot, which can be combined with the "Spell Delay" specialty, so that the "Spell Armor" lasts for 24 hours.

At this time, Zhao Xu hurriedly took his horse to the corner, and at the same time, he had already taken out a piece of butter from his backpack as a spell material at the moment when the arrow hit the player.

Zhao Xu directly cast a "greasy technique" on the route of the goblins on the spot.

As the incantation was chanted, the wilderness path, full of gravel and dead leaves, was covered with a smooth layer of grease.

Suddenly, several goblins who were urged by the leader to rush over and kill were directly tripped by the thick layer of grease, and they fell directly.

The next few goblins followed suit and fell to the ground.

For a moment, more than a dozen goblins who were still angry suddenly stopped, and their pupils looked at the place where their companions fell with a look of fear, as if there was an invisible strangulation trap there.

Although the goblins have 10 points of intelligence similar to that of ordinary humans, they are timid by nature and have never had the instinct to fight in groups, and they all rely on more powerful biological threats to launch an offensive in a consistent manner.

After seeing this scene, the big goblins in the last phalanx shouted angrily: "It's a greasy technique, rush over, you stupid cubs can't be killed." ”

As he spoke, the goblin began to wave the long sword in his hand, as if he wanted to pick up a few goblins to kill Liwei.

After receiving this threat, the nearby goblins noticed that the ground in front of them was greasy three meters square.

And after Zhao Xu had just cast the spell, he found that the invisibility technique on his body had not been canceled, and he was also relieved.

It's just the invisibility of the Second Ring spell, and when you try to cast a spell on the enemy area, the invisibility effect will be canceled.

And Zhao Xu just cast a spell on the road where the goblins were coming, and just avoided this effect.

And the big goblin who only knew the greasy technique was just staring at the retreating new mages in front of him, and did not look at Zhao Xu's direction in the distance.

Arthur's spell distance is divided into several types, and above the contact distance, it is close, medium, and long.

Greasy is a close-range spell with a standard cast range of 7.5 meters, on top of which an additional 1.5 meters can be extended for each 2 caster levels.

Zhao Xu relied on the level 6 caster level, and the direct casting distance reached 12 meters, otherwise he would have to go a few meters ahead to cast the spell.

Otherwise, he would only be able to reach the area where the group of new mages was located, and he would be killing his allies in reverse.

At this time, except for a few mages in the front row who were hit by javelins during the spell casting process, resulting in the failure of the spell, the mages in the rear had already regrouped their team.

According to Wang Ningwei's arrangement at the beginning, after being attacked, the middle echelon cast an attack spell first.

At this time, Eswig also followed, crossed the retreating first row, and directly released a "Colorful Jet" spell.

Suddenly, several goblins were covered by rainbow-like cone-shaped spells and fell to the ground on the spot.

Seeing this scene, several mages in the front row who had released the "Mage Armor" spell also turned their heads and raised their wooden sticks to swing towards the goblin who had fallen to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu also made up his mind, he knew that this battle was basically over.

Originally, the combat power of goblins was not comparable to that of ordinary 1 own human warriors, and they were not much different from mages with weak combat effectiveness.

In the team, the most dangerous wave was naturally when it was mysteriously attacked just now.

At that time, the goblin group fought the mage group, and if they had mental calculations or unintentionalities, as long as these spellcasters could not successfully release the first wave of spells, they were likely to be directly inflicted huge damage.

And Zhao Xu's release of the "greasy technique" was to let these new Mistra museists slow down for a round of time.

As long as they survive this raid, they add up to the margin of 40-60 first-level spell slots, and they will naturally be able to wipe out these only 20 goblins.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a long breath.

He also began to faintly feel the power of the control spell, just a greasy 3-meter square spell could stop these goblins who lacked long-range means after losing their javelins.

If he had just taken out the spider web as a spell material, and used these barren bushes as a fulcrum to perform the "spider web technique", these goblins would have been even more difficult to move, and they could only wait to be strangled by these mages who were more or less equipped with bows and arrows or had "magic missiles".

This is also the characteristic of Arthur's mage, the spell is strong enough, but the spell slot is very extreme.

Then, after more than half of the goblins were knocked down, even if the goblin shouted angrily, it could not save the remaining dozen or so frightened goblins, and basically scattered and fled.

And Wang Ningwei dissuaded the mages who wanted to chase and kill, and a group of people turned around and began to clean up the battlefield.

Among them, the maces, leather armor, and javelins of the dead goblins were also more rewarding than nothing in this battle.

At this time, Zhao Xu bolted the horse to a farther place, and slowly approached it with the help of invisibility.

He was indeed worried about the players who fell to the ground.

Wait, he had to release a "heal minor injury" spell to lift the other party.

However, if the HP is less than 0HP after being injured, if you do not receive good treatment or your own constitution cannot stabilize the injury, you will continue to lose HP, and finally declare yourself dead at -10HP.

This is also what a Priest with a healing spell means to each adventuring party.

At this time, Wang Ningwei leaned over and looked down at the mages who had been knocked down by arrows or javelins.

"I have a healing belt that can unleash healing spells." Wang Ningwei was also relieved after confirming that the three new mage masters had only passed out.

Watching Wang Ningwei release the spell on her belt from a distance, Zhao Xu was also secretly speechless, and sure enough, she was also the daughter of destiny.

In the previous life, the healing artifact "Healing Belt", known as the strongest low-level healing equipment, Wang Ningwei actually had it at this early stage.

This belt is only 750 gold, but it has 3 rounds of energy every day, which can consume 1 shot to heal 2D8 (2-16) HP, 2 rounds to heal 3D8 (3-24) HP, and 3 rounds to heal 4D8 (4-36) HP.

The healing amount of 2D8 is already the healing amount of the priest's second-level divine magic "Healing Medium Injury", but the divine magic can also add an additional healing amount equal to the "caster level".

So Arthur's mage is to watch the caster's level eat, from spell distance to various spell effects.

Wang Ningwei naturally chose to treat each of the three people who fell to the ground on the spot, which just pulled them back from the near death line.

Thunderbolt walked forward and reached out to touch the ground where several goblins had just fallen, but found nothing.

"The 'greasy technique' can be eliminated on its own." Eswig said, standing aside.

Zhao Xu's greasy technique can last for 6 rounds, but after seeing the player's counterattack, Zhao Xu naturally canceled the layer of grease that was summoned, saving him from tripping his own people.

"Who just released the Greasy Technique?" Luo Lei, who has always been cold and cold, asked.

They can be selected to study in Mistra, and their IQs are all normal, and they are just not emotionally intelligent enough.

Hearing the words of the thunder, they also reacted.

At that moment just now, instead of releasing the "Spell Armor" to protect himself, or releasing the "Magic Missile" to attack the goblins, it was the player who released the "Greasy Technique" to block it, which played an extremely crucial role.

It's just that the players present are silent.

Jiang Shan, who was standing in the corner, had a dry throat and wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to take the credit.

No one is stupid, he learned some spells, and he did intelligence sharing on the first day.

"It's amazing, that's our team, and there are twenty-one members." Eswig slowly walked to the back of the group.

Only in front of her, there was a chaotic jungle, and there was not half a figure.

And then Eswig's eyes fell on the gravel ground, trying to analyze something.

Zhao Xu was seen by the other party, he was invisible and only hid his figure, and he couldn't hide his own smell, sound and touch.

He couldn't help but look down to see if he had really left any footprints.

And at this time, he also knew that he had better not act rashly, and looked at this direction with a full twenty pairs of eyes.

One can't be said for sure, even if the mage's reconnaissance skills explode, that can also detect his existence.

It's a pity that these mages in front of them don't have the magic skill of "reconnaissance network", otherwise they would have stacked a 40-level bonus on their reconnaissance skills, and Zhao Xu would have nothing to hide.

"Greasy Surgery." Suddenly, Eswig said to the place where Zhao Xu was in front of him.

Zhao Xu suddenly found that a layer of grease began to appear on the soles of his feet.

He's going to be exposed!
