The Truth of Magic

76 Chapter 76 setting up camp

after more than half an hour of reorganization, the entire smuggling caravan finally found the few carriages that had gone missing. After another hour or two, the skilled attendants finally repaired the damaged carriages.

Noah, who saw that there were no casualties, also knew that the spell was the last warning of the Otmar Druid.

If Noah still dared to try to take the original path in the forest, he would not be greeted by a single-target lightning strike that did not hit anyone, but a direct area-of-effect spell.

unlike earth’s densely built roads, arthur, which was more primitive and closed, did not have so many good roads for carriages to travel on.

Those primitive forests that had not been opened up, let alone a carriage, ordinary people with a mountain axe might not be able to walk through them.

noah and the others discussed it for a while, and could only use the alternative plan that the original leader had given them, which was to go around it from the side of the iit field.

Compared to NorthIsland forest, which was guarded by the Druids, the biggest problem with the whole of ITT field was that the monsters were more concentrated and more vulnerable to attacks.

this was also a trial for noah after he took over, so he could only grit his teeth and continue.

After the entire smuggling caravan set off again, it was a peaceful time for most of the day. It was not until night fell that the caravan found a place near the stream to set up a bonfire and set up tents.

zhao xu and the other players took the chance to log off to eat and shower, then quickly came back online.

If the team was attacked and left during this period of time, it would be difficult for a few players to survive in the wilderness. Even if they were only a day away from the town, they might not be able to return smoothly.

Handing over the Lifestone and being forced to return to the city had already become a method for many exhausted players to give up on healing.

This was also the reason why players in the early stages of the game tried to form groups and did not venture deep into the wilderness.

late into the night, everyone sat around the bonfire and chatted with each other. after the emergency escape during the day, the original sense of strangeness had dissipated a lot.

the rogue enthusiastically recalled what he had seen during the day, and the other three players also burst into laughter, as if everything was just an interlude.

Zhao Xu just sat there quietly and reflected on his mistakes today.

noah’s group of subordinates did not have any spellcasters. they were basically all level 1 martial artists, and there were even level 1 civilians. at best, noah himself was only one or two levels higher.

Of course, they weren’t like Zhao Xu, who had a level 4 spell identification skill. He was able to immediately tell that the spell was the upgraded version of the level 3 spell ‘lightning summon’, the level 5 spell’ lightning summon’.

At first glance, Zhao Xu could tell that even though the spell was a continuous attack, it would only hit one spot in each round. Unless the target was very close to the target, the spell would only kill one target.

There were close to 50 people present, so Zhao Xu’s chances of hitting the target were actually very low.

This was also the reason why he wanted to find these smuggling caravans. The more people there were, the more targets there would be. If there were any risks, he would have the opportunity to divert the enemy’s attention.

but zhao xu had been completely flustered at that time, and he had placed all his hopes of survival on the three trump cards that antonya had given him.

When he thought about this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but call himself stupid.

in such a situation, his first target should have been the tree men.

Back then, if he had put on the mage Armor and his defense could reach level 14, he would not have been able to do anything against these level 12 treants.

only when the defense level was more than 10 levels above the attack power could the hit rate be reduced to less than 50%.

but he could cast a level 1 divine spell on himself.

If he cast Holy domain with the aid of the Ain stone and the spell delay, it would last for four rounds. If those treants wanted to hit him, they would have to go through Zhao Xu’s spell immunity check. This meant that there was a one-third chance of them missing.

at the very least, he could cast a level 1 divine spell like the hidden fog spell to suppress the enemy’s vision.

However, if he had cast a spell at that time, it was likely that he would have immediately become the priority target to be eliminated.

however, it was one thing to take action, and it was another thing to be able to react in time and make a reasonable plan.

After some analysis, Zhao Xu knew that he was still a new wizard. Everyone knew that he had some battle experience, but the difficult part was that he had to make a quick decision and make the best choice.

zhao xu also understood that the plan he had come up with at the start had been a bit of a waste. he hadn’t achieved his goal, so he had to continue making adjustments in the days to come.

later in the night, laker told them that there was a fixed person to keep watch for the night, and it would be their turn a few days later.

the players then returned to their temporary tents to rest.

Zhao Xu didn’t use up any spell slots today, so he didn’t need to rest for another eight hours to recover his spell slots.

And his spell slots wouldn’t refresh at any moment. Eight hours before he prepared for the spell, if he was attacked and cast a spell, it would still be counted as a spell slot for the next day.

That was why mages hated night raids, but it just so happened to be a hobby of wild monsters.

even though zhao xu didn’t need to sleep, he still quietly took out the books that antonya had given him and started reading.

wanderer rainbow couldn’t help but glance at him. “mr. zhongxia, i didn’t expect your backpack to be so flat.”

“Visual effects.” zhao xu just laughed it off.

The book in Zhao Xu’s hands was the tutorial on the “spell endurance” specialty that Antonya had given him. He had been making the best use of his time to read it over the past few days, but every time he read it, he would get confused.

as for the techniques for preparing spells, he had more or less mastered them, and could basically match his spells with the effect of ‘spell delay’.

Slowly, when the last magic word disappeared from the page, Zhao Xu had finished reading the entire description of the ability.

It was just that this specialty still didn’t appear on his character summon card.

zhao xu wasn’t discouraged. he gently closed the book and then dripped another drop of blood on it, and the contents of the book would appear again.

However, if he still didn’t understand it after three times, then he might have to ask Antonya for help.

It was already close to midnight, and three of the four players were sleeping in their sleeping bags.

The priest Youyou, on the other hand, continued to read her theology books by the candlelight. She was not distracted at all, just like a student taking a college entrance examination.

In his previous life, based on Zhao Xu’s sense of responsibility, he would have at least taught her that her studies were more important than her games.

But now, Zhao Xu could only hope that she could take the pressure and focus on the game.

people would often admire those who worked hard for their goals.

zhao xu let out a sigh and continued to take out the magic scroll in his bag-the level 1 arcane spell ” summon mount. ”

previously, he had been busy reading that specialty, but now, he was afraid that he would have to walk on this plain until he died.

then he’d better treat his legs well and honestly memorize this spell as if it was in his heart.

Originally, these spells would take 24 hours to master and copy, but Zhao Xu had the enlightened spellcaster ability and his knowledge (mystery) and spell identification levels had both reached Level 4, so he wouldn’t need that much time to study spells again.

Only if one was really unlucky would they have to read the entire book for 24 hours.

zhao xu applied some cream on his temples that could stimulate his spirit and help him memorize spells, then he started reading the scroll.

The oil in the lamp slowly turned into smoke under the candlelight, and the entire tent was very quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the snores of the three male players and the flipping of the books by Zhao Xu and the other man.

suddenly, a wave of howls came, accompanied by the sound of an enemy’s whistle, hurried and sad.
