The Truth of Magic

89 Chapter 89-rune cannon tower

” zhongxia, have you heard of any traps that are stronger? ” The poet. Frog asked Zhao Xu as if it was trying to calm the tension in its heart.

“a trap? A half-trap, half-construct, does that count?” Zhao Xu, who had been using his half-baked detection skill to scan his surroundings, said this when he heard this.

“tell me?” The South Pole frog finally realized that Zhao Xu’s knowledge and experience were not on the same level as theirs.

the people in the team who were originally on guard perked up their ears to listen.

most of the gossip in arthur was heard during these adventures, intentionally or unintentionally, and then spread through their own mouths.

“a runic cannon tower, right?” zhao xu said.

“incantation? A cannon?” youyou didn’t expect that these two things that she didn’t want to close could be connected.

” the runic cannon is usually used in places where no one wants to enter. it can identify a specific target. if the target is not on the target list, it will activate the spell. ” Zhao Xu said as he recalled.

“Isn’t it the same as the curse trap just now?” At this time, the warrior Maple Leaf cautiously raised his sword and hid beside Noah. After a while, he began to speak with some strength.

zhao xu laughed. when he first saw the rune cannon towers of the floating city, he had the same thought.

there are four spells of the same level stored in the incantation. Release one in each round, store and repair it again in the fifth round, and then release the spell repeatedly in the fourth round, and so on. Zhao Xu said.

hearing this, everyone almost stopped in their tracks.

just now, a spell descent had almost killed fengye. if the four spells were cast mercilessly, they could have already collected fengye’s body.

“how’s the distance?” Noah, who had been trained for a long time, quickly grasped the core of the problem.

if it had been like the curse-subduing trap he had just taken, with only a one or two-meter trigger range, it would have been fine. if he couldn’t afford to provoke it, he could still avoid it.

“That’s the scary thing about the runic cannon tower. It has a 40-meter range of detection. moreover, it’s usually hidden and will only appear when it recognizes an unknown target.” Zhao Xu explained.

“don’t spell casters have invisibility spells?” the expert locke said after a long silence.

It was only then that Zhao Xu noticed Loke. It was probably because of Noah’s academic role, but because the team had both a wizard and a priest, which was a luxury, that he didn’t have a chance to say anything.

the turret has the effect of truth knowledge. Zhao Xu said calmly.

everyone immediately fell silent.

“What’s true knowledge?” after a while, rogue rainbow asked.

Zhao Xu finally realized that he was going in a roundabout way.

the art of truth is a level-six art. It can see through all illusions, including invisibility. Zhao Xu immediately explained.

Only God knew how a broken cannon could obtain truth-level effects at a low price.

after hearing zhao xu’s explanation, everyone came to a realization.

everyone might be unfamiliar with illusions, but the most typical illusion,”invisibility,” was still very famous.

even in a town where magic was not widespread, there would still be people who had heard of the level 2 spell ‘invisibility’.

It was only after mastering this spell that mages had more capital to save their lives.

as such, it was common knowledge for all battle-type classes to deal with wizards who had invisibility spells.

sigh, such a good trap, but when it’s used with magic, it becomes extremely difficult to deal with. hill, the rogue in front, also complained.

although the tunnel was narrow, they didn’t find anything strange along the way, so they immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

zhao xu also agreed with what the rogues said.

when he had first arrived at the floating city, the black-robed mage had warned him not to run around for no reason, afraid that he would trigger the floating city’s countless spell cannons.

at that time, he had just handed in the letter of recommendation, and the floating city had not had the time to enter his name.

the floating city’s defense turrets were all connected to a lock-and-loop, making them even more complicated. sometimes, even the people on the list would be attacked mercilessly if they barged in at a different time.

after the bombardment of spells, the magic guards would be detained.

he did not know about other things, but there were at least a hundred level nine spell forts around the obelisk, the base camp of the final scroll.

as long as someone dared to barge in, energy absorption spells, confinement spells, dimensional vortexes, and level nine monster summoning spells would be thrown at them without any cost.

“wait a moment.” suddenly, rogue rainbow raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

“i was scared to death. thank god i didn’t step on it.” Rainbow’s face was slightly red as she nervously said.

“there’s something wrong.” Rogue Hill also squatted down to confirm rainbow’s judgment.

everyone’s footsteps also stopped completely. the martial artist, gale, who had been silent all this while, even turned his back to them.

the two rogues squatted down and checked the ground in front of the tunnel, while the others guarded them.

“There’s nothing strange.” Youyou stood on her tiptoes and said while looking ahead.

the entire tunnel’s surface was extremely flat, as if there was nothing unusual.

“it might be a trapdoor.” zhao xu, who had explored the buried city in his previous life, said.

the traps in the wild would usually have some backstabs at the bottom. if an ordinary person fell in, they would definitely die with that little hp. the situation of the adventurers would not be any better.

however, they were not blind. they would not step forward even though they knew there was a pit. therefore, in the wild, they would usually cover it with branches and weeds to make a one-time pit.

However, if he were to plant some weeds in the underground city, it would be a complete lie. He was just short of putting a sign saying that there was a trap.

Even if it was covered with a carpet, it would still be very strange, so the traps in the underground city were often made into self-restoring trapboards.

As long as there was enough force, stepping on it would trigger the switch, and the valve on the ground would open directly. If one did not Dodge in time, they would fall down.

“mr noah, come and press it together.” at this time, rainbow had already determined that the trap was not the kind that would trigger arrows. it was more likely to be a trap.

Noah, who understood what was going on, followed the Rogue and pressed the button that was suspected to be a trap door.

Suddenly, the whole ground, which was originally intact, seemed to have stepped on an empty box. Two three-meter-long valves fell down, making everyone’s heart tighten.

However, after losing the support of the power, the two valves immediately returned to their original state under the effect of the device, only making a burst of Yiya sound.

zhao xu found it a little strange. this trap door was too long, and it seemed like it was deliberately made so that they wouldn’t be able to jump over.

however, there was no point in doing so. after being seen through, they would naturally have a way to get there.

“This device is quite sturdy after such a long time.” rainbow ridiculed.

“it’s difficult. let’s just climb over the wall.” seeing this trap, noah already understood that it was the same as the curse trap. it wasn’t something that two level-1 rogues could dismantle.

after everyone made a plan, hill, who had better climbing skills, began to insert metal rods for climbing on the wall. everyone stepped on the metal rods and climbed over.

at the same time, those who climbed over were tied with ropes. if they accidentally slipped, everyone would try their best to pull them back.

in the end, after more than ten minutes, he finally passed through them one by one, but the metal drills remained on the wall.

“let’s continue.” Noah said after everyone had finished resting.

the rogues in front of them had not been checked yet, and no one dared to take a few more steps just now. they had been staying more than a meter in front of the trapdoor.

everyone nodded. if the buried city was full of traps of this difficulty, then victory was in sight.

Rogue rainbow continued to stand in front, searching and scouting as he moved forward. After discovering the trap, his confidence increased greatly.

He was only a few dozen meters away from the corner.

however, after the team had only walked a few meters, he suddenly found that at the end of the wall, the smooth wall suddenly turned into the head of a demon with two horns, and its mouth began to emit light.

“don’t tell me it’s a runic cannon tower?”

Everyone noticed this as well, and they all looked at Zhao Xu in surprise.
