185 the mysterious sentry tower

The next day, when Zhao Xu came online again, he realized that the atmosphere of the entire Paramita wilderness had suddenly changed. There were many more guards patrolling the area to monitor the situation.

quite a few priests and wizards appeared in zhao xu’s line of sight one after another. it was as if they were extremely wary of the abyss fiends ‘invasion.

Logically speaking, a pit fiend wasn’t just a pit fiend, but considering that there was an altar hidden behind it that hadn’t been activated yet, there was a deeper meaning to this.

Faced with the threat of the demons, the residents of Arthur wouldn’t be surprised no matter how extreme Rose Cross’s actions were.

In the abyss and hell, the creatures that had successfully snuck into Arthur’s main material plane were ecstatic when they saw the countless souls of Arthur’s creatures. Those souls were like the most delicious food.

The Devils who could obediently slaughter, gather a batch of souls, and leave knew how to restrain themselves.

Most of them had bigger plans. They wanted to directly take in the local people of Arthur to display their power, then start a war, and finally harvest the souls in the war. This was the most common method used by demonic ghosts.

compared to the chaotic evil that randomly killed people, the evil order was more like a conspirator that created war.

Therefore, every time the good God’s church came to visit these visitors from the purgatory, they would take good measures and be on high alert.

in his previous life, the entire northlands had fallen, leading to the outbreak of the final ” demon-sealing war “. it was also because a passage to arthur’s main material plane had appeared between the abyss and hell at that time.

At the end of the war, both sides would fight each other around the passage, and the final result would be extremely tragic. Basically, the men born in many villages in certain years would all die.

After Zhao Xu accepted the quest from Reyan, he left in a hurry with the two girls, leaving behind a bunch of confused new Wizards.

” mr. mage, why can they go on a mission first, while we have to wait here? ” Jiang Shan stood up and asked.

With Reyan’s status, he was not required to be in charge of such manpower arrangements. But he needed to manage the situation here, so he had no choice but to stay here and take charge of the base. He had only come over just now to make some arrangements for Zhao Xu.

when reyan saw jiang shan’s face, he immediately took out the evaluation form that zhao xu had written for him. on it was a simple short-term evaluation of the 18 members.

Reyan glanced at Jiang Shan’s appearance, and then matched his name with the one on the paper. He asked,”can you repeat that?”

at this moment, jiang shan thought that things had taken a turn for the better, so he quickly asked, ” i was wondering why they could leave earlier to carry out the search mission while we have to wait here. aren’t they taking advantage of us? ”

Reyan had just promised everyone that as long as they could find the clues to the altar, they would be rewarded with magical items.

As soon as the term “magic item” came out, the newbie mages, who were already in a good mood, were instantly shocked.

this was probably the most lucrative mission they had heard of since they entered arthur.

Therefore, the staff member in charge of the distribution naturally became the subject of their questioning.

“Because he’s handsome.” Reyan briefly explained, ” and the two female mages are very good-looking. I like them, so I arranged for them to do some missions.

Hearing this, Jiang Shan almost choked. He finally managed to calm down and was about to ask when he saw Reyan looking at him with a smile. He immediately shut his mouth.

———-

on the other side, zhao xu was walking along the stream. their goal this time was the guard tower in front of the stream.

zhao xu used his own knowledge and skills to do a check, and after reading through quite a bit of the materials reyan had provided, he had a rough idea of what was going on.

This area was originally a military camp, and the Sentry tower was also built based on it. However, it was later said that the military camp was haunted, and many soldiers who were training there were seriously ill.

at that time, the commander in charge of training the new recruits did not pay attention to this matter, which led to the increasing number of deserters. finally, one day, the commander died unexpectedly, and the soldiers in the station scattered. slowly, the area was abandoned, leaving only the sentry tower that was still exposed to the wind and sun.

Zhao Xu led the way as the leader. Wang Ningwei and asvich went through some documents as they followed Zhao Xu.

At this time, asvich carefully flipped through the topographic map of the Paramita wilderness and sighed with emotion at the huge difference between the worlds.

“Captain, do you have any information on that pit fiend?” Ashvich asked.

zhao xu was reattaching an arrow to the crossbow in his hand. when he heard ashvich’s question, he asked in surprise, ” “Isn’t there a record on that piece of paper?”

” it’s just a simple data sheet on the paper. i’m actually more curious about the other party’s part-time job. ” ashvich said.

Indeed, a 18HD pit fiend and a level 20 mage were two completely different things.

“However, if we encounter him, we’ll also die. You know that it doesn’t matter how strong he is.” zhao xu said.

The abyss fiend’s most basic ability, the aura of terror, was enough to suppress many players.

it was just like how zhao xu had fallen into a state of fear the other day when the golden dragon had roared in the sky.

not to mention that the other party also had all sorts of spells and abilities, and they were enough to beat zhao xu up.

These Devils even had the supernatural ability to “summon Devils. once they showed it again, they would be beaten up by a group.

every additional demon on the battlefield would double the difficulty.

not to mention anything else, even if they encountered the little monster that the devil had summoned at the last minute, it would be a great challenge for the team.

So, Zhao Xu wasn’t really thinking about how he would do it himself. After all, once he found his target, he would go back and inform Reyan to come over.

In his previous life, he had seen the pit fiends on the demon-sealing battlefields. He had seen with his own eyes how the pit fiends cut through humans as if they were vegetables. They were not on the same level at all.

“Mr. Zhongxia, do you know how the pit fiend attacks?” Wang Ningwei suddenly asked.

zhao xu found it strange. no matter what, they didn’t have to go and fight him.

however, he immediately explained,”usually, in the first round, the opponent will first use the spiritual energy of terror to suppress it, then use evocation spells, from fireball to meteor blast.” the rest of the time is basically spent on harvesting.”

after hearing zhao xu’s explanation, the two women nodded.

zhao xu also understood that the other party was making a precautionary plan for their next encounter.

however, in the face of these powerful otherworld creatures, the only thing they could do was run.

The pit fiend had a damage reduction of 15/kindness. Unless Zhao Xu and the others used kindness weapons, all damage they dealt would be reduced by 15HP.

It was extremely deadly for those with low hit rate but high attack times. Therefore, most Warriors would buy magic weapons when they had money.

But seriously speaking, the pit fiends had a troublesome characteristic: their magic resistance was as high as 32.

This meant that even if Zhao Xu was a level 6 spellcaster, he still wouldn’t be able to break through the opponent’s spell resistance.

but at this moment, zhao xu was very rational. he had already thought about this yesterday, so he said, ” “i’ve prepared ‘sparkling dust’. if something really doesn’t feel right, i’ll just cast this spell and then run away.”

after hearing what zhao xu said, wang ningwei also nodded.”mr. zhongxia, the sparkling dust is indeed useful. but mr. zhongxia, if you really want to run away, don’t worry about us.”

sparkling dust was a famous 2nd circle spell. in addition to being able to break invisibility, it didn’t use magic resistance. At the same time, if the spell’s immunity was not successful, the target would be blinded.

When they heard that Zhao Xu was preparing to cast this spell, the two women knew that Zhao Xu was already prepared to run away if anything went wrong. Otherwise, how expensive would it be to leave a Lifestone here?

slowly, zhao xu led the two girls on a 30-minute walk before they finally reached their destination, the abandoned guard tower.

the sentry tower was five stories high and was basically built with red bricks. after many years, the outer wall had almost fallen off.

at the same time, the weeds and trees on the barren land in front of the sentry tower grew lusher, as if they had been nourished more.

zhao xu couldn’t help but have a bad feeling about this.

even in a magical greenhouse, the energy supply was balanced, and there were no signs of particularly exuberant energy.

The only explanation was that there was a special energy transmission.

Zhao Xu had chosen this place in the first place because of that special legend. No matter how he listened to it, it sounded like a demon had appeared and caused trouble, which was why the military camp had been reduced to such a state.

At the same time, Zhao Xu was a little surprised that there wasn’t a single person around. He thought that this place would attract a lot of attention.

“shall we go in and take a look?” it’s time to go, ” aswei said, looking at the decayed wooden door frame.

Zhao Xu nodded. then start being on guard. I’ll stand in front and go in first.

at this moment, zhao xu raised the wooden stick in his hand and slowly made his way towards the guard tower, which was so large that even ten people wouldn’t be able to wrap their arms around it.
