The Truth of Magic

175 Chapter 174-mutual probing

ashvich could clearly tell that the ground he was standing on was different, so she immediately covered zhao xu with a nine square meter area of grease.

even though the grease created by the grease spell had a time limit, zhao xu wouldn’t be able to move at all for the first two rounds that ashvich could maintain.

once he left, he would leave obvious footprints on the oil. In fact, he might not even be able to leave successfully. If he was not careful, he might fall down like the gnomes.

but if he didn’t leave, there would be other mages who would try to take zhao xu down.

At this critical moment, Zhao Xu was caught in a dilemma.

just as the spell was about to be completed, a smile appeared on ashvich’s face.

to be able to reveal such an obvious flaw, he was obviously not a high-level mage, and she had already vaguely guessed the candidate.

At this moment, everyone’s gazes were fixed on the arena.

it was something to be proud of to be able to find the instructor who had been watching them.

They could even boast about it when they returned to the floating city.

at this moment, zhao xu became calm and composed. ever since he had mastered all the spells, he had rarely been nervous.

mages were powerful because they had countless choices.

zhao xu could use counterspell to try and cancel ashvich’s spell.

He could even use the amulet on his chest to push the surrounding state back to six seconds ago.

However, this could not be hidden from asvich.

but zhao xu still had a way out!

[ lesser agility burst ]!

Suddenly, the entire tree-lined path and the 20 Wizards in front of Zhao Xu seemed to be in slow motion.

zhao xu could even clearly see the movement of the muscles on their eyelashes when they blinked.

the sound waves of asvich’s incantation were still rippling in the air, unable to reach his ears.

zhao xu had managed to buy himself a very rare amount of time.

This period of time was enough for him to make a breakthrough.

But Zhao Xu looked down at the layer of fat that was about to form.

If he really ran away, then everyone would only see water splashing on the oil layer.

Zhao Xu activated the teleportation boots that he was wearing and looked at the spot seven or eight meters behind him where the summoned horse was hiding. He had to confirm where he was going to be teleported to.

suddenly, a powerful spatial power seeped out from the teleportation boots and zhao xu disappeared from where he stood.

Time resumed.

A thick layer of square-shaped fat appeared in front of everyone.

everyone stared at the oil, but they didn’t see anything unusual.

A few of the mages who were not willing to give up even took the risk of falling and pounced on him, but they found nothing.

but ashvich did not show any embarrassment.

she knew that her judgment was not wrong.

when wang ningwei was treating the injured, she glanced at the ground behind her.

She was absolutely certain that the withered leaf had been stepped on by someone before it split open.

Zhao Xu, who was standing at the back, was still feeling a little dizzy. He was experiencing the side effects of lesser swiftness burst.

Although he had no problem dodging other people’s attacks, he couldn’t cast any more spells or perform some complicated movements.

He also sighed.

fortunately, he had an unreasonable spell like lesser swift burst.

No matter who’s spell was faster, as long as he could react in time, he could directly cast the spell without going through any complicated process.

this was also the most powerful point of the ‘intuitive action’ spell.

with just a thought.

Zhao Xu was even more cautious this time. He even had to bear the pain and deactivate the summon horse when the other party came to search for him.

If he was discovered, he would lose a magic item.

after this battle, he had already experienced the power of the ” invisible ring. ”

in a low-level environment where he lacked the means to break through stealth, if he was sneaky and had some sneak attack skills, he could totally kill this group of mages one by one.

the main thing was that this ” ring ” didn’t have any problems with endurance.

It was the same for his Eternal Magic wand, which could be used twice a day permanently. The meaning of this was self-evident.

based on the price of 375 gold coins for each fireball magic scroll, he would save 375 gold coins every time he used the wand.

If Zhao Xu didn’t mind exposing his identity just now ... as long as he controlled the center of the spell explosion and avoided the mage players, the group of gnomes would be completely wiped out by his fireball.

Even the Goblin was not any better.

after all, no one present had the ” reflex evasion ” ability and could not be completely immune to the damage of the fireball.

zhao xu also noticed that the wizards had cast quite a few spells, and wizard armor was the most common one among them.

zhao xu waited for the enemy to leave for almost half a minute before he released his horse and followed them.

however, he was on high alert. although he had seen the movements of the enemy’s main force just now, there was no telling if there was a trap here.

Therefore, he was fully focused on scouting.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu saw a white light at the corner of the tree stump and his heart skipped a beat.

He immediately clamped his legs together and pulled on the horse’s reins, stopping the Light Horse under him from moving forward.

zhao xu looked closely at the tree stump and saw that there was a faint white light on it.

Otherwise, he might not have been able to notice it. The sunlight was too strong, and the other party might have been made of that kind of metal.

But Zhao Xu knew deep down that with asvich’s way of thinking, she definitely wouldn’t let go of something so obvious. It might just be a chain of traps.

Thinking about this, Zhao Xu glanced at his ample spell slots and cast the level 1 divine spell of Druids and Rangers, detect trap, without any fear.

just like the detection spell, this type of detection spell would burst out a cone-shaped area with a radius of 20 meters.

He would be able to know if there was anything to detect in the first round.

By the second round, he would know the number and location of the traps.

In the following rounds, he would be able to know the trigger method and type of each trap, from near to far.

this was the power of spells. when the spell caster’s level was high, the rogues who specialized in removing traps found that they didn’t do as well as the spell caster. the warriors also realized that their sword attacks did not even deal one-tenth of the damage of a spellcaster’s sword.

this strong sense of falling behind made the adventurers in arthur not hesitate to send their children to the mage academy to study. everyone knew how to vote with their feet.

However, after three rounds, Zhao Xu realized that all the feedback he received was a blank.

It was as if there really wasn’t any trap in front of them.

by right, the ‘trap detection’ spell could only detect the simplest and most common traps, quicksand, or natural dangers such as a falling stone wall.

It was useless against magic traps and complex mechanical traps.

zhao xu was very sure that the team of new wizards didn’t have the ability to do this.

After Zhao Xu analyzed the possibilities, he got off his horse and walked over.

once the situation went awry, he would use the ‘shapeshifting’ spell to switch positions with his mount.

However, when Zhao Xu knelt down and realized that the white light was coming from a silver wire with a Bell tied to the end, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

In the end, he still fell for the two Clever Girls.

Unfortunately, this alert spell had a range of six meters, and he really didn’t have the eyesight to see things beyond six meters.

—————

at this moment, wang ningwei, who was standing in the group, suddenly smiled.

When ashvich saw Wang Ningwei’s smile, she also leaned over and asked in a low voice,”You’ve discovered it?”

Wang Ningwei nodded slightly. She knew that she couldn’t hide it from the intelligent woman beside her.

when ashvich saw wang ningwei take out a bell and a thin silver wire and place them on the ground, he was stunned.

she deliberately walked to another direction in an attempt to divert the attention of the twenty-first person.

It was so that Wang Ningwei could secretly cast the first-level spell, magic alarm.

After the magic alarm spell was set up, it would last for two hours for every level the caster was at. Basically, when the caster’s level was high, or when the spell was stacked to Level 6 like Zhao Xu’s, the spell would last for twelve hours and the caster would be able to keep watch at night.

Once someone entered the alert area with a radius of 6m, the alarm would send out a sound or mental alert.

They were used to warn everyone or just the spellcaster.

wang ningwei’s smile naturally meant that someone had entered the magical barrier she had set.

Antonya had used this method to find out that Zhao Xu was online in the past.

“how can you be so sure that it’s him?” wang ningwei also asked ashvich in a low voice.

other than him, which other high-level mage would be so lousy that they can’t even see through the magic barrier? ” ashvich said unhappily.

The only person who could be sent here by the floating city and who couldn’t even use their ” secret sight ” and couldn’t detect the magic barrier in front of them was Zhao Xu.

If the other party was a high-level mage who could hide in the spirit world, they would not have triggered the barrier.

However, at this moment, Wang Ningwei and asvich started to confirm something.

This mission, after killing the bandits, would definitely have a follow-up branch.

“remember to keep it a secret. there must be a reason why he doesn’t show his face.” wang ningwei whispered to asvich.

“hmph, do i look as stupid as him?” Asvich said, pouting.
