The Truth of Magic

Chapter 395 Life Energy

The lair passages of the mutant scorpions are not the kind of well-repaired passage land. Most of them correspond to the physical characteristics of the mutant scorpion itself, presenting a bumpy trail with many holes.

It's hard for them to get in. Zhao Xu commented.

He possesses the God's Step with enduring perfect mobility, and can also rely on perfect mobility to maneuver and maneuver in these difficult passages by relying on the power of flight.

It's just that Vivienne, who is wearing heavy full-body armor, is showing restrictions at this moment. Even if her heavy armor is mixed with mithril and is much lighter, it is still difficult to climb in the corridor.

After trying a few times, she just used her transformation ability to let the original succubus wings grow from behind, and began to fly like Zhao Xu.

The succubus itself has the ability to fly.

At this moment, Zhao Xu also noticed that the wings exposed behind Vivienne were not the ugly bat-like wings of the demon family that he had seen before.

It seems to be formed by the convergence of energy, presenting a dark purple particle aperture, and the light and shadow effect is pleasing to the eye.

Thinking that the other party was a secret container created by Cang Ye, and maybe it was different from ordinary succubi, Zhao Xu didn't ask too much.

While the two were flying together, they didn't see any trace of the mutant scorpion, as if this was an empty lair.

We may have another entrance. Zhao Xu analyzed.

He has been flying for at least half an hour since he just came in.

Those adventurers who snatch the treasure chest will definitely spend more time in the lair without the flying technique, and it is impossible to go back and forth for two hours.

Even on the way to escape in the lair, he was intercepted and killed long ago.

The monster's own lair will have several exits, even if it is an insect lair without intelligence. Vivienne added.

This means that they and those adventurers did not take the same path.

Because Zhao Xu used the object location technique to locate the distance in a straight line, and their own search for the entrance of the lair was also shifted by hundreds of meters, and the underground passage was crooked, so it was entirely possible that it was a road that was farther away from the treasure in the lair.

During Vivian's flight, because she was carrying a heavy body armor, even if it was mixed with mithril to reduce the weight, she already felt a little tired.

This is also the normal state for everyone to take risks. The abundance of physical strength, diet, breathing, sleep, and the comfort of the load on the body need to be considered.

Unless it is a child of a great nobleman, with a dimensional bag on his body to reduce the load, an Ion Stone that does not breathe and an Ion Stone that does not eat and drink on his head.

Um?

Suddenly, Vivienne, who was skimming at low altitude after entering a section of flat land, stopped her flight speed and stayed in the air to observe the below.

It was a deep hole, and the edge of the hole was polished quite smooth, which was not conducive to climbing.

All kinds of corpses were filled under the pit.

Judging from the spine, it was barely possible to tell that most of them were ferocious animals, and the leg bones of some beasts were even higher than humans.

But Zhao Xu, who had been blessed with dark vision, also recognized many human heads, and even halflings and dwarves.

It's a bit strange. Vivian frowned.

Seeing this scene, she directly pulled out her original holy avenger, and her killing intent began to show.

No.

Zhao Xu explained, Large ones can naturally be swallowed whole for digestion, but those small and medium-sized ones cannot be swallowed whole, and these bones will remain.

His tone was a little indifferent, and it also carried a bit of coldness.

In the past, Zhao Xu's adventures were mostly on the surface and in towns, and he rarely entered this monster's lair.

However, he had already explored similar places in his previous life, and he had seen many such pits filled with corpses. These were the food leftovers from the monsters.

Humans on the earth have occupied the top of the earth's food chain since they mastered weapons and tools and were able to make fire, cruelly exterminating various large animals.

Like Zhao Xu and the others, they couldn't see mammoths in the zoo today because they had been eaten up by humans on ancient earth.

However, for Arthur.

The original purpose of establishing towns is to form an formation to protect themselves against monsters, and even villages outside various towns are rarely in deserted places.

Arthur's field is really deadly.

Countless terrifying and powerful monsters run rampant among them.

The mouth of the corpse pit in front of him cruelly showed Zhao Xu and the others the results of the mutant scorpion's predation.

Civilians without the ability to protect themselves, even if they learned how ancient humans hunted with javelins, they still couldn't defeat these monsters who grew extremely tough and natural armor because of Arthur's environment.

It's never been wrong that metals are the number one killer of proteins.

It was only after Arthur and the others encountered monsters with the same natural armor and damage reduction ability that human beings with human sea tactics were powerless to fight until they got professional level evolution.

Go on, Zhao Xu said.

These were the food for the unintelligent insects, and it was pointless for him to be angry.

Um?

Suddenly, Vivienne let out a soft snort, and immediately she looked at a shadowed area of ​​broken stones.

A small mutant scorpion that was not much different from what it was seen in everyday life was hiding in it. When it saw Zhao Xu and the others, although they did not have any thinking ability, their own survival instincts immediately burrowed around the crack in the loose soil.

The corridors the two of them flew through were the passages of medium, large, super large and even giant mutant scorpions. For these ultra-small and small mutant scorpions, they had their own unique small passages.

When Zhao Xu entered this lair, he didn't put much effort into reconnaissance.

Because once a battle broke out, it would basically be a fight to the death against the continuous stream of mutant scorpions in this lair.

That's why he needs to obtain a durable melee ability.

Just when Vivienne was about to fly over to kill the small mutant scorpion, Zhao Xu directly manipulated the sword energy surrounded by the blade cloud spell on his body.

In an instant, the invisible saber qi shot away with a blow.

The small mutated scorpion, which was already more than half its body size, got into the soft soil, and its body, which was more than five centimeters wide, was chopped off by the knife energy on the spot.

Even the seemingly hard scorpion armor couldn't stop the sharp slash from the arcane ability, and most of the mutant scorpion's body was left outside with the scorpion tail needle.

The incision is extremely smooth and flat, and only after being completely separated, the thick juice of the insect itself is slowly revealed.

The health of the ultra-small and small mutant scorpions basically couldn't withstand such a blow from Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was able to release this saber energy of killing at will once every round, around the clock without a break.

He is equivalent to a crossbowman with a powerful attack power stationed on his body, ready to shoot arrows at any time, and at the same time, there is no loss.

A small mutant scorpion has a defense of level 14, even if a level 1 fighter among players chops it, it may not be able to hit it.

That is to say, his saber energy was born with a level 20 attack, so he could cut scorpions like melons.

Even in this sweltering passageway in the cold winter months, no one could see it, otherwise they would be incomparably amazed that a second-ring spell can cause such power after a long period of time.

President? Seeing that Zhao Xu was in a daze, Vivian couldn't help asking.

No, I just suddenly felt a pulsation of life energy. Zhao Xu explained.

The players are extremely skeptical that Arthur has experience points.

But Zhao Xu has figured it out after a while.

Experience points are an alternative life energy in Arthur.

One of the necessary conditions for upgrading is to accumulate enough life energy before reaching a new level of life.

Basically, eating, drinking, drinking and comprehending one's own professional ability to accumulate is also a disguised accumulation of life energy.

It's just that fighting monsters is the fastest way to accumulate.

However, simply killing monsters can gather enough life energy, but it is only a necessary condition to complete the upgrade, and the sensation to break through the barrier is still indispensable.

Therefore, among the players, the warrior profession can improve their level faster than mages because they can accumulate life energy while fighting monsters, and at the same time gain breakthroughs in combat experience.

In many cases, 30 years old is the stage when a mage has just come out of the mountain to take risks.

And 30 years old is also the age when a fighter of level 7 or 8 is tired of fighting and ready to go back to his hometown to recuperate.

Zhao Xu just made such a casual cut, and actually felt a trace of life energy floating from the mutant scorpion.

What made him a little suspicious was the effect of the death godhead fragments on his body.

At this time, Lux has entered the critical stage of integration, and can no longer chat with him, and there is no one to explain his doubts.

Life energy? Vibrant? Vivian's originally tense expression relaxed a little.

Ms. Cang Ye once told me that some gods can see the flow of life energy.

Um.

Zhao Xu heard Vivian's words, but didn't go any further.

Right now, in front of his eyes, are no less than a hundred medium-sized to small mutant scorpions, crowding the corridor ahead.

They are piled up like a hill in front of them like drill bits, and they are constantly wriggling with each other.

The scorpion's eyes were bright, like pale yellow glass beads, staring at them in unison.

The ants killed the elephant more, and in the case of insufficient defense, it was Arthur's way of defeating the strong in the battle.

These mutated scorpions opened up the two claws of their predecessors, and at the same time the thorns on their tails kept swinging, ready to attack the two of them at any time.

It's just that Zhao Xu wasn't nervous at all. Instead, he looked at everything in front of him with interest.

It's a pity that there are too few.
