Chapter 43: The Invisible Enemy
After becoming a magician, except for the extra respect in the eyes of the people around him, it had almost no impact on Xiao Jun's life, and he continued to go about the daily life of an adventurer, exploring the dungeon as usual, and absent from school indefinitely as usual.
Night fell, and after a short meditation, he opened the portal to the dungeon.
The giant spider refreshed out again, and the monster that killed the dungeon for the second time could not gain any experience, Xiao Jun quickly swept it away, and continued to walk into the depths of the cave.
Along the way, the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, because he didn't see a single monster, even small poisonous spiders and giant spiders had lost their traces, and the only possibility was that this was the territory of other monsters, and he could only find it for the time being.
At this moment, a killing force suddenly came from the rear that should have been empty, Xiao Jun's battle instinct allowed him to escape, but a long ravine appeared on the ground as if it had been cut by some sharp weapon.
"A monster that can be invisible?"
He immediately mobilized the fighting energy in his body, guarding his whole body, and at the same time, dozens of fireballs appeared around him, and his mind moved, and he launched them in all directions, originally thinking that the other party would have nothing to hide, but there was no feeling of hitting the real thing, and the surroundings were empty, and there was no living thing in sight.
The previous killing machine resurfaced, and there was more than one, three or four invisible attacks came in his direction, and in the case that he could not be observed by the naked eye, he could only rely on his own intuition, and finally paid the price of being cut off by a corner of his clothes, and he broke away from the encirclement of unknown creatures.
"At this moment, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, I can't be passive like this anymore!" Xiao Jun didn't want to sit still, while dodging the attack from an unknown direction, he connected to the field of vision network, but this time the almighty personal terminal failed, and there were still no monsters in sight.
Instead of giving up, he cast a dark attribute magic called "Concealment", turning himself into a shadow and hiding in his surroundings.
However, the attack of the unknown monster followed, and it was not affected in the slightest, as if it could see through the "hiding technique".
When he was in a crisis, he needed to calm down, and Xiao Jun suddenly had an idea, and he continued to use the otherworldly creature identification technique around him.
After his frantic attempts, a light curtain finally popped out in front of him.
Shadow Spider
Level: 35
Talent: Invisibility
Description: A ruthless killer hidden in the shadows, the keeper of the third level of the dungeon.
This monster, called the "Shadow Spider", is still below the level of the giant spider, only comparable to the small poisonous spider, but the difficulty is more than one level.
Xiao Jun saw its "stealth" talent, and tried to use the magic of contact concealment to no avail, seeing that there was a word "dark" in the name of this monster to use light magic still had no effect, and the fire magic known as the spider nemesis had no effect on it.
The speed of the shadow spider is also very fast, and when he determines a position, the other party has already moved to another position, and he can't catch the horse's feet at all.
Commanded "Lone Bear" to use his mimic skills to transform into a shadow spider, but he couldn't succeed due to lack of information, and the same is true of his own kaleidoscope, with one master and one servant failing.
In the face of invisible enemies and monsters that can't be beaten, Xiao Jun's only choice is to get out of the battle state and temporarily withdraw from the dungeon.
......
......
With the name of the monster, Xiao Jun's first instinct was to look up its information, and the best place to go was obviously the National Institute of Advanced Studies, although the adventurer's guild could also buy it, but it was not as good as the free materials in the independent library.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the Shadow Spider has no more access to the first level of the library.
As a result, luckily, the first floor of the Independent Library does have detailed information on this monster, which unfortunately does not help him much in his current situation.
As mentioned above, removing the Shadow Spider's invisibility requires learning a form of light magic, and the prerequisite is to be at the level of an intermediate mage.
Xiao Jun had just become a junior magician, and it was obviously impossible for him to advance again in a short period of time, just when he was at a loss, he saw today's class schedule, and there happened to be a lecture on dealing with monsters who were good at hiding their bodies, although he didn't have much expectations in his heart, but he still decided to take a look.
Originally, he planned to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect that when he walked into the classroom, all the students sent a salute, and the expressions on his face were even more varied, and he suddenly had the feeling of becoming a gorilla in the zoo.
What Xiao Jun didn't know, although the college did not strictly require the attendance system, but since the beginning of the school year, he did not appear in the classroom once, not even a classmate, although others knew that there was such a person, but no one had ever seen him, after inquiring, only to know that there was a first-year freshman who ran in the library, but never came to class, so unconsciously, he gradually became a celebrity among the first-year freshmen.
"Hey, it's almost class, come and sit. ”
Just as Xiao Jun was looking for a seat, a cute-looking meow girl beckoned to him and said.
The culture of the National Institute of Advanced Studies is open, not only the human race, but all races except the demon race, as long as they meet the requirements, can become students of this academy, and they have the same rights as human students.
"You called me?" Although he didn't know what the other party meant, Xiao Jun still walked over and asked.
This is a snow-white cat-eared girl, in terms of appearance alone, slightly inferior to the half-elf Jasmine, but the whole body is youthful and has a unique flavor, except for a pair of fluffy ears and tail, it looks almost no different from the average human girl.
"It's not you, who else!" Cat Ear Niang pulled him to sit down, winked playfully, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious about what kind of person the legendary truancy king is?"
"The king of absenteeism?" Xiao Jun suddenly had a black line on his head, but he didn't expect that without his knowledge, he had an inexplicable nickname, or a shameful title known for absenteeism.
"By the way, my name is Shirakomachi, and as for your name, I think everyone in the entire first-year student should know it. Cat Ear Niang's eyes were smart, and she looked at him with curiosity and said.
Xiao Jun laughed awkwardly, and didn't know what to say, at this time, an old man wearing a professor's uniform walked in, if there was no accident, it should be the college teacher who gave this lecture.
When he saw the other party's face clearly, he suddenly realized that he actually knew this professor, and the other party was the white-robed old man who had tested him in the Wizard's Mansion before.
