The Truth of Magic



690 The sequence of traps

(The repetition of the content in the previous chapter has been fixed. The last sentence should be “in front, a door shining with dark light suddenly opens!” there are about 16 pages on the qidian app. if something is wrong, you can exit and re-enter the chapter. if something is wrong, you can delete the book and re-add it.)

If you can’t make a decision, ask about spells first.

This wasn’t necessarily a common solution for spellcasters like Arthur, but it was definitely the first choice for cheaters like Zhao Xu, who had a lot of money and didn’t have to worry about spell slots.

Both of the stone statues were so strict that he had to destroy them in one round, and they even had an equal amount of damage transfer.

Even if a legendary warrior were here, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

If he were to say that there weren’t any hidden traps set up inside this portal that had a Black Vortex in front of him, Zhao Xu would have to write his name in Arthur’s lingua franca upside down on the spot.

He was also suspicious.

the second chamber was so simple, but they had to use a teleportation gate to get there?

It was no wonder that he didn’t feel much of the area’s vibration from the beginning. There was no need to create a new trial space for him.

It seemed that the training place arranged by the “activation cellar” was completely separated, blocking the possibility of taking a shortcut.

“Analyze the portal!”

Zhao Xu immediately cast this Level 3 arcane spell, and a cone of light immediately appeared in his eyes and spread out to an area of 20 meters.

Fortunately, this spell did not require resistance, so it was not affected by magic immunity.

Zhao Xu immediately used ‘spell’ to analyze the information about the portal in front of him.

The power of magic could be used to detect if there was a “portal” in the area he scanned, so he naturally skipped this step and recalled the characteristics of the portal in front of him.

Activation password, influence activation situation, one-way and two-way engine

After every round, Zhao Xu received a whole new type of information. He even saw the area that the teleportation gate led to.

As for the information regarding irregular teleportation, random teleportation, limited creatures teleportation, and abnormal teleportation, there was some vague information.

Eh?

It wasn’t until the last special information popped up that Zhao Xu looked at the crystal lens and small mirror that he was holding in his hands. He couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

It was actually a malfunctioning portal?

He would definitely be able to use it, but he would have to gamble on his luck.

But this was really petty, to actually play tricks in this kind of place.

he didn’t know that he had secretly learned the craftsmanship of the ‘teleportation gate’?

Now that he could even use his potential points to simulate the creation of a portal on the spot, repairing it was naturally not a difficult task.

He was just in a hurry.

But after Zhao Xu went through the information about the portal’s malfunction in his knowledge (planes), he started to frown.

A faulty portal could not be man-made.

A fault in a teleportation portal was usually caused by the loss of magic power and the impact of magic power over hundreds of thousands of years.

Many times, the magic items passed down from ancient times had mutated, and naturally, the teleportation gate was no exception.

However, under normal circumstances, a teleportation gate would not malfunction unless it had a history of more than a hundred years.

Not to mention that in Ernest’s Secret treasure, the arcane King’s protection and storage methods would only be more professional and perfect.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu shook his head and then continued to search for the types of problems that could occur with the teleportation portal.

When he first wanted to create a portal from Starfall town to the Wildlands, he had never thought of the problem of a malfunction that would occur a hundred years later. Therefore, he could only rely on the help of the ” knowledge ” skill.

With a ” whoosh “, a list of faults immediately appeared in front of his eyes. It clearly listed the various types of faults of the portal.

Normal activation, teleport to the wrong location.

If it wasn’t activated, it would explode with negative energy, which was like a spell that could cause fatal damage.

If it was not activated, it would be pushed away as if a level-17 spellcaster had cast telekinesis.

Absorbing the magic power would cause the magic item to lose its effect for several rounds, or even permanently lose its effect.

……

Zhao Xu looked at the dozen or so magic items that he was currently wearing.

He had carefully selected each of them. If their energy was really sucked away, he would even want to smash the portal.

This was a weight that his life simply couldn’t bear!

Any one of these magic items would be priceless in the outside world, and there would be no place to buy them.

it was even worth him spending a magic scroll of wish that cost more than 20000 gold coins to make a wish to restore the magic item to its original state.

Of course, there was still the possibility of a ” normal activation ” for the faulty portal.

However, real mages didn’t gamble on ” probability.

Zhao Xu immediately cast a level 1 spell, ” stabilize the teleportation gate.

This was a spell similar to animate city, and it was not in any of the classes.

It was only listed in the “teleportation” domain.

That was to say, only priests who believed in gods with divine titles such as ” path ” and ” travel ” were qualified to cast this spell if they happened to have chosen the ” Transmission ” domain.

It was just like how Zhao Xu had chosen ” magic ” (prerequisite for incantation), ” plan ” (delayed spell), and ” knowledge ” (devout knowledge) when he was a level 1 cleric.

Fortunately, his archivist was all-encompassing. As long as there was a priest who used a ” copy scroll ” to copy a divine spell, then that divine spell was within the scope of an archivist’s learning.

As the rainbow light of the spell dispersed, the dark light of the faulty portal immediately became much more stable, as if it had restrained its original violence.

As for Zhao Xu, he continued to stand a bit further in front. His third ring, ” analyze the portal, ” had allowed him to get a glimpse of what was outside the portal.

However, the effect of this spell, which required concentration, disappeared after he gave up on it.

He then took out a glass eyeball from his backpack, crushed it, and sprinkled the fragments on the portal.

“Visual teleportation portal!”

The third spell in the teleportation portal sequence-visual teleportation portal (Level 4)!

After the spell was activated, the ripple that was originally covered in black light slowly became transparent on the side that was facing Zhao Xu.

It was like a mirror that instantly revealed a bigger, deeper, and quieter secret room to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was like a Peeping Tom. He put his face on the energy mirror and looked at it from all angles, observing every detail on the other side.

It was a pity that this spell couldn’t transmit the spell’s effect over to him. Otherwise, Zhao Xu could have used this spell to cast a few more detection spells.

It was actually blank?

Zhao Xu thought to himself.

In his secret room, there were at least two stone statues and a wall lamp that could not be killed like a cockroach.

The animated cellar obviously didn’t have much artistic talent, and the scenes were also the crudeest art. It was a direct copy and paste, just like some old domestic animation, where all the trees and clouds were copied from the same piece.

Therefore, the ‘items’ that could appear had the most direct indication.

However, the next destination had nothing?

It was a pity that he had not reached level 11 yet. Otherwise, he would be able to cast the level 6 spell ” teleportation gate direction change ” and directly change the destination of this only magic item that could teleport to the outside world, so that he would not have to suffer from the bird’s breath of the living cellar here.

Zhao Xu stood up and stepped into the portal without another word.

Time and space started to warp and the tall secret room suddenly started to flash with light. After the light gathered into a vortex, Zhao Xu fell from a height of five meters like he was an airdrop.

Zhao Xu immediately tried to control his own flying ability and try to regain his balance.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you have been affected by earth bind. You can not fly here. ]

This emotionless system announcement immediately popped up, and Zhao Xu’s expression changed slightly as he cast the feather drop spell.

Only then did he manage to control the speed of his descent and avoid falling flat on his face.

After he steadied himself, Zhao Xu immediately used his mystical sight and other detection abilities to look around the secret room that was the size of a basketball court.

There’s nothing strange?

zhao xu was puzzled. he didn’t have any psychological trauma, and now that he had magic in his hands, he wouldn’t be afraid even if he entered an ancient tomb.

He was afraid of ghosts?

Ghosts were more afraid of him.

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows.

[ adventurer zhongxia, your chosen one’s ability has successfully made you immune to poison. ]

Poison?

Where did the poison come from?

But Zhao Xu quickly realized what was going on.

Zhao Xu was angry at himself for being so honest, but he held his breath and quietly took out the rainbow spindle-shaped ain stone from his backpack and let it float above his head.

at first, in order to go on an adventure with his team, zhao xu had taken off all the ain stones on his head because they weren’t that useful to him right now. but if he took them out of yanan’s place, it would be like he had ” i have magic items ” written all over his head.

However, he didn’t expect that if he wasn’t immune to the poison, he would have almost died.

He had actually poisoned the air!

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but lower his evaluation of the enlivened cellar.

In order to deal with him, they actually used all kinds of underhanded methods.

Even though Zhao Xu was already immune to the poison, he still felt uncomfortable breathing in the poisonous gas.

zhao xu still obediently took out the ain stone so that he wouldn’t be able to breathe.

At the same time, he cautiously glanced at his character stats and re-checked it.

The secret room just now was a test of his attack methods and damage output ability.

Then what was this secret room testing?

In particular, the empty surroundings did not seem to have any matter that would actively trigger. It was more like it would actively attack him.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the void.

clearing requirement: survive past 20 stages.

“Countdown to the first stage.”

“5?”

“4?”

……

“1?”

Zhao Xu heard the strange sound of a mechanism being activated, and he immediately turned his head around.

He saw three crossbow arrows with cold glints flying towards him. Looking at the dark green arrowheads, they had already been contaminated with poison.

However, he had friendly fire that could divert long-range attacks, so Zhao Xu just ignored it and turned around to look at the strange noise that was coming from behind him.

In a blind spot, six darts were also flying towards them.

There was more!

Zhao Xu’s sudden crab turtle’s vision allowed him to notice what was happening above him. A row of poisonous needles covered in dark green blood was coming at him from above.

They attacked from multiple angles at the same time!

At that moment, Zhao Xu understood everything.

Ever since the activation cellar appeared, his teleportation ability had been restricted. Naturally, he could not use any of his teleportation abilities.

However, even if a tree moved, it would die. If a person moved, they would live. Ordinary Warriors still relied on their skills to Dodge the attacks of their respective powerful monsters.

Zhao Xu didn’t say a word and instantly cast the Ranger Level 1 divine spell, ” solid ground.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you are affected by the ‘ground on earth’ spell. No matter how you balance, climb, jump, and roll, you will receive A +10 ability bonus. ]

After he finished casting the spell, Zhao Xu quickly ran over to another empty spot. He was as fast as a flash of light, and he was as agile as a Swan.

While everyone else was still trying to Dodge, Zhao Xu already understood everything.

The three traps that he had just encountered were the most common Level 1 traps-basic arrow trap, Poison Dart Trap, and poison needle trap.

This corresponded to the first stage.

And Zhao Xu was standing in this secret room because he obviously thought that he had triggered a trap, which was why these three trap targets were being shot at him.

What was even more exaggerated was that the traps usually needed to be triggered when one walked to the corresponding position, but these traps were automatically aimed and shot as long as they were picked in the secret room.

From this, it could be seen that these traps were not ordinary and rigid traps. It was just that their strength was limited.

But even though Zhao Xu had the star Cloak’s effects and his own high level of defense, he still didn’t dare to be careless. After thinking about it, he decided to focus on dodging. If he really couldn’t avoid it, then he would take it head on.

He remembered that there were quite a number of level one traps. Were these all?

Just as this thought came into his mind, Zhao Xu felt a shadow slowly growing larger and larger above his head.

rolling stone trap!

A huge rock suddenly appeared in the sky and fell towards him.

Zhao Xu calmly jumped to the side.

But at this moment.

At the next landing point, a wave of flying Spears came from all directions.

Spear trap!

At the same time, several Sickles with chains attached to them appeared and slashed down diagonally in a half-moon arc.

Scythe trap!

It was as if they could hear what Zhao Xu was thinking in his heart. One by one, the level one traps went up to the front desk and wanted Zhao Xu to show off their presence.

But Zhao Xu didn’t have time to complain.

Camouflage pitfall, deep pitfall trap, dart salvo trap, iron gate trap, sharp steel wire corridor trap, rock trap, and knife wall trap were also attacked one after another. There was no repetition in the series of attacks.

In the past, Zhao Xu hadn’t really been able to take on these Level 1 traps in the dungeons, but now that he was 10, he was finally able to catch up on his homework.

What was even more ridiculous was that these traps had the ability to reset. After they were set up once, the boulders, poison needles, and darts would automatically disappear and then shoot out from the void again.

The first stage was very simple, but Zhao Xu had already gone through 10 rounds of Level 1 traps.

However, he didn’t see any signs of an end.

The Voice in the Void had been very polite. He would pass after passing the 20th level.

But now, they didn’t even know when the first stage would end!

As Zhao Xu thought about this, he couldn’t help but look around at the ordinary-looking walls around him.

He had to destroy it?

Do you really think your ‘dispel magic’ is a joke?
