Chapter 233 The Mist Hidden Noble
With some "miraculous" operations, the professor and his team successfully transferred the hatred of the Great Warrior Pot to the elves.
Seeing the big warrior Hu chasing Stellan and others into the branch area on the right, Tulsi couldn't help but smile.
Now I am really despicable!
I didn't expect that the first monster I encountered after entering here would be so tricky. I'm sure the next challenges will not be easy.
They had made all the necessary preparations before entering this time. They used at least seven group enhancement spells alone. Seth also took out several ring-like magic items and distributed them to everyone, the effect of which was to prolong the duration of the enhancement magic on their bodies.
Tulsi even covered everyone with a thick layer of magic shield, which looked like a turtle shell.
However, the monsters they encountered next made them feel unsafe even when hiding behind their turtle shells.
Large numbers of magicians and soldiers appeared on the road that must be passed. Their individual strength was not that strong, but when combined, they would become a terrifying force.
Roger was paralyzed when he saw the enemy almost blocking the road.
He suddenly remembered that he had been drinking with Drew from the strategy group two days ago. While drinking, the other party said that they had gone through a lot of hardships to get through the left side and saw the boss monster.
Looking at the swarm of monsters at this moment and thinking about what Drew said, Roger couldn't help but want to question.
"How did your team get there?!"
In an instant, magic special effects were flying everywhere. Tulsi used the enlarged magic shield to block the monsters in front of her and stop them from moving forward. The others tried their best to release various large-scale offensive magic. The pyroxene magic gravel was thrown out of Hades' hand like a broomstick.
They didn't dare to engage in close combat when there were so many enemies, so Set created a tornado and Roger threw fireballs.
There was no other way. The only offensive magic he could use in large quantities and quickly was the fireball. After the explosion, this thing would cause some splash damage, which could barely be considered group damage.
But the good news is that after the real fight, we found that the strength of a single monster was much weaker than that outside. Even if they were the same monsters, the strength inside the academy would decrease.
This is probably to take care of the adventurers. Monsters appear in groups, and no matter how strong a single one is, it will be impossible to defeat them.
Even so, the battle was still fraught with danger, because the most critical magic shield was broken and monsters rushed in.
"How did it break?" Tulsi was very shocked. She was clearly trying her best to maintain the shield.
"【Fainted】!"
At this moment, a spell suddenly came from the group of monsters, and a stream of light instantly hit Tulsi, causing her to fall into extreme dizziness involuntarily.
Before anyone else could react, she was crushed by the surging tide of monsters.
She was probably dead, no, she must be dead. In order to maintain the shield, she was at the front of everyone, and the distance between her and the monster was only the distance of one layer of shield.
With such a tiny distance, others simply wouldn't have time to react and rescue people.
Fortunately, adventurers who die in the academy will be resurrected at the gate and do not have to run here from the town in front of the academy.
When Tulsi was resurrected and reunited with everyone, she found that the monster had been cleansed out. Everyone was busy treating their wounds, and she quickly cast healing magic.
Putting aside the abnormally large warrior pot, this is only the first wave of enemies they encountered. How will they fight if there are so many more in the future?
Leon and his team’s value is still rising!
"Is that the only way?"
Tulsi gritted her teeth and opened her backpack, revealing a full bag of magic replenishing potions.
[Group Invisibility], [Group Silencing], [Group Breath Blocking].
The consumption of human magic power by these three kinds of magic is quite horrible. Even for her, she has to drink a bottle of potion to replenish her body after using it three or four times. The key is that the duration of these magics is short. The effective time of each use is less than ten minutes. They need to be cast frequently, and once an attack is launched, the invisibility effect will disappear.
The only advantage is that these three magics combined can make a person almost perfectly invisible - provided that the enemy does not have a high degree of perception of the surrounding environment like the Sword Master Japar.
A series of magical lights flashed by, and they, who were already in a state of "perfect invisibility", slowly walked out of the hiding corner.
Several magicians were on the road ahead. Roger took a deep breath and walked past them nervously. As expected, he was not noticed by them.
Great, this method works!
He was so excited that he wanted to punch. Only professors could use such a luxurious tactic. No one else could afford to spend so much money on a large amount of high-quality magic replenishing potions.
To ensure safety, they calculated the time precisely and released the invisibility magic combination again every eight minutes to ensure that it would not suddenly fail.
And these eight minutes are their "safe" time. They hurry on their way while observing the situation around them.
What is strange is that all the monsters encountered along the way were in groups of two or three, and there was no reappearance of the large number of monsters like before. What is going on? Is there only a grand welcome ceremony at the beginning?
This question was answered when their invisibility magic failed prematurely.
Perhaps there was a mistake when casting the magic, this time the invisibility magic was automatically lifted after only six minutes, and the monster in front of Roger also discovered him.
Fortunately, there were only three monsters that discovered us, and I can kill them all by myself.
The next second, more than twenty monsters of the same type appeared out of thin air, with the three monsters as the center.
Roger's smile froze on his face, and then he turned and ran away.
They finally understood why they only saw scattered monsters on the road. It turned out that those guys were "scouts"! Once the adventurers were discovered by the scouts, the main force would follow closely behind!
This is a clever method that Gong Qiying came up with.
If a large number of monsters were allowed to exist in the academy, even if their strength was actively weakened, the mental energy required to summon them would be a huge expense.
So he simply set up a rule that the dungeon would summon a large number of monsters only after the "scouts" discovered the adventurers. These monsters would be recycled as mental power after fighting with the adventurers. In this way, the mental power consumed would be much less, and only the mental power required for the monsters' activities during this period of time would be needed.
The entire magic academy applies this rule, which can be considered as reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
After finally getting rid of the monster's pursuit, the professor and his companions were about to use invisibility magic again, but at this moment -
"Woo"
Suddenly, the sound of a flute came from somewhere?
The flute sounds melodious and ethereal, graceful yet sad, which inexplicably gives the audience a creepy feeling, as if the music comes from hell.
A light mist appeared in front of everyone unnoticed, and they suddenly found that the scene in front of them had changed.
The magnificent magic academy suddenly changed. The sound of flowing water appeared around him and the light suddenly dimmed.
The dilapidated wooden houses were looming in the thick fog, and the luxurious carpet underfoot turned into slippery soil, with slippery moss everywhere.
Suddenly transferred from the magic academy to a shabby little village in thick fog?
"Transfer magic?" Seth's eyes revealed curiosity, but after taking a few steps forward, he suddenly found something wrong.
The thick fog blocked his sight and visibility was extremely low. With every step he took, the scene in front of him changed. Sometimes he returned to the magic academy, and sometimes he came to a dilapidated village. The scene in front of him kept changing, making people feel dizzy involuntarily.
Seth reacted and they were still in the academy, but they had been hit by some kind of illusion magic.
He cast a spell to remove the illusion, but found it to be ineffective. The scenery in his vision was constantly changing and the sad flute sound was still floating nearby.
"Go find the source of the flute sound," he said. "That must be the cause of the hallucination."
If you listen carefully, you can hear where the flute sound comes from. It doesn't seem far away, but the road ahead feels extremely long.
When the scene in front of them is a foggy village, a thin humanoid monster with red eyes will appear, waving broken farm tools and attacking them while making noises.
If you take a step forward or backward, the scene in front of you will change back to the academy, and the humanoid monster will disappear, as if it was really an illusion.
However, if you move forward again and see the village, the monsters that disappeared before will appear before your eyes again. The sickles and hoes in their hands are as powerful as tetanus and will attack your body mercilessly.
The monster that was screaming and rushing towards you in the last second disappears out of thin air in the next second, and then puts its terrifying face in your face again in another second. You want to resist, but the monster disappears again.
The next thing you know, they may appear in any direction beside you, or even behind you.
The monsters in the academy will not sit idle either. They will react to adventurers and summon dozens of their own kind.
The smoke that blocks the vision, the erratic monsters, all these factors combine to make people fall into an illusion from which they cannot wake up. You can never figure out what the next step you take will lead you to see. The frequent changes of scenes make people dizzy, and the lights are so strange that you can't see anything clearly.
In just a moment, the professor and his companions felt like they were about to vomit.
The days passed like years, really like years. If the monster army ahead could be fought off by increasing the number of adventurers, then this foggy illusion could not be broken even if the number of people was increased, unless the source of the flute sound was found.
No wonder Stellan didn't want to come here, this experience was too torturous.
Tulsi and her group struggled forward while enduring dizziness and hallucinations. She was still able to maintain the invisibility magic, but her complexion became increasingly grim.
The flute sound was getting closer. The flute sound that was previously so vague and elusive appeared very close to them this time.
The monsters in the fog became more and more ferocious, and tried desperately to stop them.
Normally, with the double obstruction of the fog monsters and the academy monsters, it would be difficult for adventurers to find this place, but Tulsi's invisibility magic, which she tried her best to maintain, successfully allowed them to skip the academy monsters.
The sound of the flute was just ahead. In a trance, it seemed as if an attic appeared in the fog, and a tall and thin figure was playing the flute.
Everyone looked at each other and stood still at the same time. As long as they didn't move, the scene would not change.
[Critical Strike], [Jump Enhancement], [Intermediate Wrist Strength Enhancement], [Fortress Constitution].
Magic was cast on Set as he prepared to execute the decapitation tactic. They did not dare to use magic rashly on the enemy who played the flute. After all -
That guy looks terrifyingly strong.
Anyone who dares to play a musical instrument in battle is definitely a strong person!
When fighting against such a strong man, one must be ready to die.
Seth took a deep breath and showed a determined expression. He summoned a strong wind and jumped up, silently attacking the enemy in silence.
The sound of [Kirigakure no Kyoujin]'s flute was interrupted for a moment.
