The Truth of Magic



671 ogres, traps, and life-and-death control

“Ogres?”

Zheng xinyun clearly did not know much about this monster, and the entire team was confused.

The bleak autumn wind blew in their faces, and everyone’s faces hurt a little.

Zhao Xu’s fate with the ogres could even be traced back to his previous life. In fact, when he thought back to this second, he still felt a sharp pain in the back of his head as if he had been hit by the ogre’s giant wooden club.

“Ogres are a type of large giant that messes up the evil alignment. It can be said that they are a type of greedy creature that is big and ugly. They had thick skin and bulging muscles, unkempt hair and Dirty Faces, and smelled terrible. I’ve seen one before, and its head and neck look like a lizard.”

besides, ogres make a living by burning, killing, and robbing. They usually cooperate with other monsters to bully the weak. So, if you see an Ogre, it means that there are Ogre sorcerers, evil Giants, trolls, and so on nearby.

After listening to Zhao Xu’s description, a few of the more quick-witted ones had already taken out their simple notebooks and started jotting things down.

Compared to earth, the price of knowledge was close to free as long as it could bring traffic.

Knowledge in Arthur was even more expensive. The cost of paper and printing could not be reduced, and the popularization of knowledge was impossible.

In the current Arthur, the powerful and knowledgeable players had suddenly become knowledge v.

Even the knowledge they had about the “monsters” was equivalent to the wealth codes on earth. Except for a few who shared it with good intentions, most of it was kept for “information transactions” with others.

Even though what Zhao Xu was explaining was only limited to low-level monsters, looking at the situation, it was clear that he was going to go even further and understand the entire characteristics of the monsters.

For a moment, everyone was itching to look forward to it. They even forgot about the Horde of monsters that could come at any time.

Zhao Xu was also a little entranced. He crouched down and continued to talk while following the footsteps of the ogre. ” ogres are lazy and hot-tempered. they are used to solving problems in one way, and that is to fight. they are more animalistic than the primitive orcs. ”

however, they still know how to escape if they can’t defeat them. When the ogres pierce through them, they will gather into small groups and occupy any place that is convenient for eating. The reason why they were given the name ‘ogres’ was because they ate everything. They would not hesitate to swallow anything they caught, poached, or killed.”

Zhao Xu furrowed his eyebrows a little as he said this. but it’s also because of their delicious taste that ogres are sometimes hired by evil human-like creatures, including humans.

other than their height and weight, do the ogres have any other characteristics? ”

Zheng xinyun also felt like she had returned to her high school class and was taking notes seriously, thinking about Zhao Xu’s explanation seriously.

their skin color usually ranges from dark yellow to dark brown, and they’re not naked. Most of them have casually sewn fur, but because they don’t like it, the stench on their bodies is even worse.

Zhao Xu pointed at the footprints and said, ” so if you have a good sense of smell, you can even tell how long the other party has been gone for based on the smell.

as for combat, ogres like to win battles, so many adventurers often fall into a sneak attack or ambush when they encounter ogres. Fortunately, although the ogres know how to use long-range attacks such as arrows and rocks to weaken their opponents, they still lack discipline and easily become a pile of loose sand.”

Then, Zhao Xu started to analyze the habits of these monsters and some of the common traps that they used to set up. He started to analyze the details of the ogres bit by bit.

This small team of more than ten people had a slight illusion at this moment, as if there was an Ogre spy standing in front of them, analyzing the weaknesses of their own race bit by bit.

It was only until Zheng xinyun could still remember that she was feeling a little dizzy later on that she looked at him with a hint of doubt. Captain, can we defeat this monster? ”

“Difficult.” Zhao Xu glanced at the average level of the team.

It could be said that most of them had nothing to do with ” adventures ” at all. He didn’t even see any magic aura in the whole team. It was already an outstanding person to be able to bring a few alchemy props.

it’s often difficult to kill ogres with one blow. They’re creatures with high strength and explosive power. Once they were beaten up, even the three strong dwarven Warriors might not be able to take it. Therefore, if you really want to go all out, it’s best to weaken it with spells first.”

It was only then that everyone realized that whenever Zhao Xu faced a difficult problem, he would always talk about spells.

these mages, who seemed unremarkable in low-level battlefields, seemed to play a key role.

After Zhao Xu’s introduction, everyone thought about it for a while and decided to avoid the ogre’s footprints and head towards the other side of the forest.

According to the information the Rogues had heard at the beginning, this road had been opened up by a 40-man adventurer team the day before yesterday. They had returned safely at dawn.

It proved that this path had a certain safety.

And Zhao Xu was just acting as a powerful ” knowledge seeker. he didn’t say a word when it came to making strategic decisions about his targets.

To put it bluntly, the whole process was smooth, so he didn’t need to bring Yun ‘er out.

He had agreed to join this team to limit the number of people in the team.

A 10-man team wouldn’t be like a 40-man team, which could easily be stopped. At the same time, a large team wouldn’t be able to hide quietly like a 4-man team. It was easy to cause a commotion and attract the attention of monsters.

At the same time, there would definitely be a few who would not be able to escape in time if they encountered danger. At this time, he could let Yoona face the test of life and death.

Zhao Xu felt that his talent as a healer had been raised again.

When he thought about this, he realized that everyone seemed to be listening to his explanation and the monsters were showing signs of appearing again. Zhao Xu waved his hand and started casting a spell.

he was a good person after all.

Level 4 spell, advanced observation!

As Zhao Xu’s long-distance spell came into effect, he didn’t have to touch it personally and could cast this spell on the ten or so people present.

He was the only mage at the moment, so he did not have to worry about anyone using detection magic to find out anything.

Just like when he was exploring the underground cave, he could already sense the direction, distance, and situation of all his companions with just the second circle of the identification spell.

At this moment, a small map of a MOBA game seemed to have appeared on his retina, with the avatars of more than ten people in the team floating in the air.

Fortunately, his spellcaster level was 33. According to the rule that he had to deal with a creature every three levels, he could cast a spell on everyone.

If it were any other spell caster, they would at most be able to cast a single spell to take care of three people. If they really wanted to cover everyone, they would probably use up all their Level 4 spell slots on the spot.

Zhao Xu’s left eye could see the small map, and his right eye could see everyone’s status.

At this moment, in everyone’s status list, only the ” uninjured ” status was lit.

The other ten or so debuffs, such as injured, paralyzed, dazed, unconscious, near-death, nauseated, flustered, dizzy, poisoned, sick, confused, etc., Were all completely gray.

At the same time, it was a level 4 advanced care. Compared to Level 2 care, Zhao Xu could use this care status at any time to cast Level 2 and below touch spells.

The most typical one was the healing spell.

Moreover, this spell would be effective as long as everyone was in the same plane.

In fact, Zhao Xu could even hide himself and become a long-range healer who could help everyone recover at any time. He could be considered a first-class healer.

Just as Zhao Xu was thinking about this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

Even the observant master couldn’t tell what Zhao Xu was thinking at this moment.

At that very moment, the ” detect trap ” spell in the ” detect xxx ” spell hanging on Zhao Xu’s body, which could be extended for ten hours, instantly told him that something wasn’t right!

The ” trap detection ” spell could reveal simple pits, traps, and mechanical traps made of natural materials. It could even detect natural dangers such as quicksand and rock holes.

However, magic traps and complicated traps like trapdoor traps were useless.

Right now, Zhao Xu didn’t say a word. He even said,

He merely moved two fingers and cast the spell again to hide all traces. After knowing the true result of the trap ahead, he continued to remain silent.

At this time, the Rogue walking in the front didn’t notice that the thick traces of dead leaves under his feet were somewhat unnatural.

Or if they were to concentrate at the beginning and move forward with an attitude of touching the traps like touching the mines, not to mention the energy of the Rogues, they would not be able to accept such a snail’s speed.

Therefore, most of the time, it was better to use special methods to forcefully strike the lightning.

For example, Zhao Xu could summon his invisible servants to carry his bags.

Sometimes, rogues were forced to open up a path by themselves.

In other words, dying in the hands of a trap was also one of the fates of rogues.

“Yiya,”

A slight sound of collapse was heard, and the face of the young rogue in the team instantly changed. At this time, he hurriedly made a midair change in an attempt to lift Newton’s coffin and jump out of the range of the trap.

Camouflage trap!

A series of keywords instantly flashed through Zhao Xu’s mind, such as reflex evasion difficulty level 20, mechanical trap, position trigger type, estimated depth of three to four meters, search difficulty level 24, and disarm difficulty level 20.

A series of keywords flashed through his mind.

It was as if everything in the world was just a string of cold data in his mind, without the slightest emotion, color, or temperature.

The moment everyone exclaimed …

The Rogue’s agility wasn’t low, and even his profession ability was focused on dodging.

In theory, this rogue was also the person who had the highest chance of successfully dodging the trap after Zhao Xu and the Ranger had triggered it.

And he did not disappoint, forcefully rolling like a carp, with a trace of inelegance, he flipped to the front.

Zhao Xu just smiled at this.

the average person’s instinctive reaction was to force themselves to retreat, but this was the opposite of the force they used to move forward. therefore, after offsetting it, it was likely that the distance to dodge would not be enough, and they would still fall into the trap’s range.

a well-made trap would only trigger when one walked to the middle. therefore, if one tried to remove the trap by force without being good at removing the device, it was likely that one would fall into the trap and end up eating shit.

The Rogue rolled forward determinedly and bravely.

But Zhao Xu had just taken a quick glance at it.

In order to capture food, the ogres didn’t have any restrictions on their lives. There was only one reason why they didn’t stick sharpened bamboo into the pit-it was a chain trap.

in an instant, the rogue successfully landed. after feeling that his body no longer sank, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

There was another scream from the team!

The Rogue raised his head in surprise, but three iron Spears had already struck the moment the trap was triggered, and they were now stabbing his chest.

There was no way to Dodge!

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but shake his head.

Spear trap!

A long-range attack at level 12 and above. but now it seemed that these three were basically buried in the chest of the rogue.

He had no chance of survival.

“Treat minor injuries!”

Zhao Xu instantly cast this Level 1 spell. No one could see that his back was facing the Rogue, and a stream of life energy was injected into the Rogue’s chest.

Originally, the three Spears could have killed the Rogue in an instant, and even pulled the life line below near-death-10, to the extent of a sudden death.

But because Zhao Xu had raised his hand, he managed to hold himself back.

Besides, Zhao Xu didn’t use the level 2 spell, heal moderate injuries. Otherwise, if he continued like this, his opponent would have been as lively as a Dragon and as energetic as a Tiger, which would have frightened his teammates.

zhao xu didn’t come here to protect everyone and help their smurf level up without taking any risks.

He wanted Zheng xinyun to experience the feeling of death in this near-death situation.

Therefore, his spell just happened to control the Rogue to be in a near-death coma, but he did not die completely.

In an instant, the entire team let out a sorrowful cry!
