Chapter 366
evil tentacle of alpha!
suddenly, two black tentacles came out of his shoulder blades and wrapped themselves around his shoulders. zhao xu controlled them with his mind and they started wriggling around within a three-meter radius.
The speed and power of his attacks were not much different from that of an Ordinary Level 1 or 2 warrior.
After Zhao Xu cast this spell for a long time, it was as if Zhao Xu would have two more threatening tentacle minions who could beat up his enemies for the next 24 hours.
from then on, he could cast spells while controlling his two tentacles to attack the enemy.
zhao xu furrowed his eyebrows a little, but it didn’t look too good. he immediately retracted the two tentacles back into his shoulders and leaned against his cloak to cover them.
unknowingly, he had also become a strange tentacle monster.
zhao xu didn’t stop. he immediately followed suit and took out a dagger from his backpack and cast another level 2 spell.
‘blade cloud’.
As Zhao Xu clenched his fist, the entire dagger instantly shattered and turned into a blade-shaped cloud of mist that started circling around Zhao Xu’s body.
It was as if there were many invisible blades in the air that were pointed in the direction that Zhao Xu was looking at.
Zhao Xu’s eyes were focused on the sparrow that was flying in the corner of the courtyard wall. It was within the nine-meter effective range.
Zhao Xu’s mind moved, and suddenly, a blade aura appeared. The sparrow that had braved the cold to come out for food froze and fell to the ground.
It didn’t even know that it had just been hit by a terrifying level-18 attack.
Cloud of blades was also a wheel-level spell.
After Zhao Xu’s attacks lasted for a while longer, he was able to gather up his sword aura and unleash a strike that was as sharp as a dagger.
Moreover, the attack power of the dagger condensed from this spell was determined by his spellcaster level (12) and intelligence adjustment value (6).
zhao xu was one of the best players in the game, so he could stack up to a total of 18 levels of attacks, making it impossible for most people to block.
If an ordinary person were to be hit by his blade Qi, it would be no different from a dagger piercing through the heart. They would directly fall to the ground and faint on the spot.
after casting the last two spells, zhao xu had basically gained two major offensive skills, which were close-range and long-range.
Even if he ran out of spell slots, he could rely on two tentacle attacks every round and one blade aura attack to kill his way out of this low-level battle.
He used a level 2 spell and a level 3 spell in exchange for a special attack ability that could last for 24 hours, making up for the last shortcoming of his spell slots.
After he thought this through, Zhao Xu stomped on the ground and started Walking in the Air. He walked out of Mrs. Betty’s house and back into the busy city of frostdew town.
in recent days, frost dew town had become just like its name. the ba leaf trees that were abundant in dew had begun to frost.
however, there were still many civilians making a living in the town’s market. they wrapped themselves in thin cotton-padded clothes to sell mountain products or handicrafts.
everyone was trying their best to sell the rest of the things before the cold night came, and they were shouting extra loudly at dusk.
Frostdew town wasn’t a place where players came from, so Zhao Xu only ran into a few groups of players who came here to do quests.
“the weather is too cold.” A white-haired warrior stood in front of a luxuriously decorated commercial house and said while trembling.
“even with your 16 constitution, you’re still so cold?” the dwarf poet. he was about a meter tall, with dark brown skin under his golden hair. with the small harp hanging on his chest, he looked a little funny.
“Damn it, I’m wearing so little because I have a 16-point physique. I’m not like you. You’re just short of wrapping yourself up like a Porcupine.” the white-haired warrior retorted, ” after i’m done escorting the client to mystera, i’ll have to go buy a woolen sweater to add it. ”
sigh, when do you think we players will be able to enter this kind of auction fair and square and spend a lot of money? ” Another halfling rogue complained as well, but his eyes were constantly scanning the prey on the street.
don’t even think about it. I heard that a few well-known player guilds in Mystra have secretly sent people over, but I haven’t seen a single one. I don’t know if it’s true or not. the dwarf poet.
The four members of their team were currently gathered together and discussing.
Zhao Xu didn’t think that it would be such a coincidence when he heard the topic. These four players were also here to escort their employer to the auction tonight.
In particular, among the seven races that players could choose at the start, he actually encountered two of the three dwarves, halflings, gnomes, and dwarves. He could not help but slow down and observe.
compared to humans who lived in a messy environment, most other races had a fixed residence. even the elves and dwarves had built huge countries and their own professional training system.
Because of this, Zhao Xu and the others didn’t often see other races in human towns.
Zhao Xu could only rely on a few words from the other party and guess that the number of people at the auction tonight would probably exceed his expectations.
However, he didn’t dwell on it. He put on his Golem goggles and walked to the temporary stall to ” treasure hunt “.
The halfling Wanderer was standing in a shadowy corner and he watched as Zhao Xu walked past them. He walked all the way to a stall not too far away and kept looking at him.
“Hey, don’t cause trouble. The employer is still inside.” the white-haired warrior couldn’t help but warn his halfling teammate as he looked at his eager appearance.
Fights caused by the players ‘abuse of their ” hand skills ” happened almost every day. It was not until the Mystra guard Hall arrested a group of rogue players and put them in prison that the evil atmosphere was slightly suppressed.
“don’t worry, it’ll be quick. although the other party’s robe looked very simple, i think that gilded brass goggles are definitely not ordinary.” the rogue, who had made a small achievement in his kung fu and craftsmanship (alchemy), licked the corner of his mouth and showed an excited look.
I’ll be back soon. Think about it, if even the most insignificant glasses could be a magic item, how much real magic equipment would he have on him? especially that staff, I suspect it’s worth a lot.
hearing him say that, the dwarf poet. with his class skill ” appraisal “, he also pondered for a while, constantly recalling the figure that had just walked past.
if an ordinary person wanted to determine whether the item in their hands was a magic item or not, they could rely on detection magic or even appraisal magic to identify it.
however, for some items that were suspected to be ” antique treasures “, to determine whether they were gaudy crafts or precious works of art that were worth being passed down, most people would ask for advice from poets or rogues who had their own skill ” valuation ” and had specially leveled it up.
the dwarf poet. pondered for a moment. ” that priest’s robe is probably not an ordinary item. the density of the needle and thread has even exceeded the current level of craftsmanship. ”
the halfling rogue next to him was even more excited when he heard this. ” he’s wearing a priest’s robe but no armor. he looks like a fat sheep. i’m afraid he’s from a noble family and was sent to the church to serve the gods. ”
“don’t fall. wait a moment.” The white-haired warrior could sense that the priest was exuding an invisible killing intent, so he quickly warned the halfling.
come on, I only dare to lay my hands on the goddess ‘kind priest. If I’m really found out, I’ll only be punished a little. The halfling rogue looked back at the priestesses he had stolen from before and said proudly.
if players like them didn’t put their ‘hand skills’ to good use, what kind of players were they?
As he spoke, he lowered his footsteps and sneaked over silently.
Because of their short stature, halflings were naturally flexible and did not fall easily. They were also very athletic. Compared to human players, who only had one talent and skill point to conquer the world, they had other bonus points.
Just the Tier 2 race bonus of his stealth skill alone made his usual stealth even more silent.
at this moment, zhao xu was picking up a bronze statue and looking at it. he had once found a half-broken bronze gryphon statue at the stall of his good friend in his previous life, shen nian. he picked it out and gave it to her.
but since frostdew town was close to mystra, zhao xu did a cursory scan of the area and felt that he should be able to give up on the idea of picking up scraps.
He might as well go to the nearby trading company and prepare the deposit for tonight.
although the +6 headband of intellect’s market price was only 36000 gold coins, he could still afford the bid of 3600 gold coins. however, he couldn’t predict the final price.
Suddenly, the tentacles hidden behind Zhao Xu’s back started to wriggle.
he turned his head around and found that there was a halfling in front of him who was about the same height as him. his face was ruddy and his eyes were brown. he had long sideburns, but he did not have any beard.
“mr. priest, i’m suddenly a little confused about the goddess ‘doctrine, and i was just about to come and ask you for your advice.” For the sake of flexibility, the halfling rogues only wore leather armor with the weakest defense, and at the same time, a thin sword and a dagger were attached to his waist.
he said with a smile, but he could not help but glance at his dagger, thinking about how to deal with the conflict later. However, this was only the worst case scenario. He was certain that the priest would not vent his anger excessively.
He had long known that kindness could be bullied.
this wanderer had been standing in a shadowy corner just now, so zhao xu had only given him a quick glance and didn’t think that he would end up being the prey instead.
zhao xu chuckled and said, “the goddess has a teaching that forbids stealing.”
He then patted the halfling’s shoulder. Xiaoxiao is warning you.
then zhao xu gently zipped up the side pocket of his backpack, stood up, and walked over to another shop.
The three people in the distance had been watching the situation. When they saw the priest suddenly stand up, they thought that there was a battle. Just as they held their weapons tightly, they realized that the other party had left.
However, their halfling teammates just stood there silently.
it’s a little strange. Let’s go and take a look. the white-haired warrior felt that something was wrong. he carried the huge sword on his back and walked over with his two other teammates.
“What’s wrong, Shorty?” Seeing that the Rogue was still motionless, the white-haired warrior sneered.
the halfling rogue turned around stiffly and said, ” he just looked at me after he said that. i was scared to death. it’s the kind of murderous aura that has really killed people. damn, is he an evil priest? ”
“then why didn’t you move just now?” The dwarf poet. I thought you were dead, ” he said.
that’s why it’s so scary. Do you know that just now, two of its tentacles directly wrapped around me and tied my feet? I was so scared. The halfling Wanderer said nervously.
At this moment, his expression was excited. Suddenly, a tiny wound less than half a finger’s length burst out on his face, and blood flowed out.
at this time, the three of them could not help but feel numb on their backs when they saw this scene. after a while, the white-haired warrior gritted his teeth and said, ” “Silly girl, hurry up and wipe your face.”
At this moment, the halfling touched his face and realized that his face had been silently slashed.
However, it was as thin as a cicada’s wing, and it was so light that it was difficult to feel that the wound had only opened up now.
This was the other party’s small warning.
that was close. Arthur still has the invisible sword energy. If I missed by a bit, my throat would have been slit. The Rogue said with a lingering fear.
“Yes, if you had succeeded just now, I would be here to collect your corpse now that your throat was cut. who knows if he’s an evil priest or not? do you want the four of us to turn into zombies and jump around behind him?”
“don’t jump around for the next few days. this broken town is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. I estimate that the other party is at least level 10 and above, only then would he be able to teach you without even casting a spell.” the half-elf ranger, who had been silent all this time, said.
after hearing this, the four of them all looked in the direction where the priest had disappeared, but everyone had different thoughts.
