The Wizarding Age: I Can Explain Everything

Chapter 93 Mouth on the Wall

The garrote, an evil little predator.

They like to lurk near ceilings, arches, wells, or necrotic stairwells, sneaking up on any prey that happens to pass by.

Their hands and feet have spiked fleshy pads that allow them to grip almost any surface. They are silent when lurking and extremely quick when launching an attack. They are natural assassins.

Although the chokers are small in size, they have a fighting power comparable to that of a peak knight.

Even a great knight would suffer a great loss if he was caught off guard by the choker monster.

"They actually placed a choke monster in the maze."

Pei Ze clicked his tongue.

But he did understand the maze designer's intention.

A complex environment like a maze is best suited for an assassin-type predator like the Choke.

More importantly, the reason why choke monsters are called choke monsters is because they like to strangle the necks of their prey, making them unable to speak. Naturally, they cannot cast spells that require spells.

It can be said that the choker just restrains the wizard apprentice to a certain extent.

It's a pity that Pei Ze is not among this group.

Not to mention that he has mastered the skill of silent spell casting and super magic. Even if he can't make a sound, he can still cast spells without any hindrance.

Just because of his peak knight-level physique, it is destined that the choke-throat monster will not even try to sneak attack and hurt him.

"Squeak!"

The choker screamed in pain, a long and narrow wound crossed its entire chest obliquely, and blood gushed out of it like a fountain.

Obviously Pei Ze's sword just now caused a lot of damage to it.

As if aware of the power of the person in front of him, the choke monster turned around and ran away without hesitation. His body nimbly jumped up to the ceiling, walking on the smooth stone surface as if on the ground, and quickly fled into the distance.

Want to escape?
Pei Ze sneered, suddenly flashed out, and the sword in his hand instantly turned into a bolt of lightning and shot out.

Very flashy!

After Qing Lan's Breathing Method was upgraded to Omniscient Breathing Method, Storm Slash and Extreme Flash still remained, and their power was even better.

This strike was as fast as lightning, spanning hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, and stabbed the choke monster in the back like a meteor.

The Throat Locker only had time to let out a short scream, and then it was blown into blood mist by the violent grudge that exploded.

Pei Ze swung his sword again, whipping up the strong wind to disperse the diffuse blood mist. Looking up, he happened to see several choke monsters scurrying along the ceiling 400 meters away.

The tragic deaths of their companions frightened the predators.

Pei Zeran smiled and did not pursue. He continued walking along the corridor. Whenever he encountered a fork in the road, he used the fog crow to explore the path and clear the monsters in the room.

Almost every room you encounter along the way has various monsters wandering around.

From the knight-level reinforced skeleton soldiers, bugbears, zombies, and direclaws to the great knight-level three-armed trolls, bodak zombies, and skeleton knights.

Pei Ze even encountered a shape-shifting spider and a chi beast.

The former is a medium-sized magical creature that can freely switch between spider form and humanoid form. In addition to possessing the poison and web abilities of spider creatures, it can also cast phantom sounds, light, silent phantoms, and sleep spells. spell.

The combat power of a shape-shifting spider is comparable to that of a mid-level knight.

If you step into its territory without knowing it and are bound by the spider web, even a high-ranking knight can easily lose his life.

Especially for wizard apprentices, shape-shifting spiders with certain spell resistance are very troublesome monsters.

As for the spirit beast, it is a magical creature that lives in the etheric plane.

Their body color ranges between bright blue and deep purple.When standing upright, it is only 1.2 meters tall, but its total body length can reach over two meters.

They usually lurk in the etheric plane in the form of spirit bodies, but once they find their prey, they will immediately switch to the main material plane to attack and kill their prey. They are more terrifying assassins than the choker.

Even Pei Ze couldn't react in time when the spirit beast appeared and attacked. He relied on the defense of the magic heavy armor to block the spirit beast's attack, and then killed it in turn.

In addition to a large number of monsters, the maze also hides many traps.

A floor that suddenly softens and turns into a quagmire when stepped on.

Inlaid on the stone gate, it will emit colorful lights when approaching, making people fall into hallucinations.

And it looks empty, but the stone door will suddenly close after walking in, and then the room will burst into raging flames from all directions.

It's really hard to guard against.

A wizard apprentice who does not have adequate defenses may fall under endless traps before reaching the center of the maze.

And as you go deeper into the maze, the strength of monsters and traps encountered along the way are gradually increasing.

After exploring a three-way intersection again, Pei Ze stopped and looked thoughtful.

It is indeed very effective to use the fog crow to find the way, so far he has not encountered a dead end.

But problems also followed.

One is that the further you go to the back, the more the number of forks at the fork, and there is often more than one room behind each path, and sometimes it is connected to another fork.

Pei Ze must explore all possible paths before finally determining the correct path, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The other was a casualty of the Mist Crow.

In just over an hour of exploration, Pei Ze had already lost more than 300 fog crows.

And it can be predicted that as the number and strength of monsters gradually increase in the future, the damage rate of Mist Crow will further accelerate.

Pei Ze could not guarantee that the number of fog crows would be enough to reach the center of the maze.

"We still have to think of other ways."

Pei Ze looked back and forth on the surrounding walls, and suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he stepped forward and knocked on the wall.

blah blah blah!

"Judging from the sound, the thickness of the wall should not be large, and it should not be difficult to destroy."

Pei Ze was thoughtful.

If you can destroy the wall and go directly through the corridor, you can save a lot of time in exploration and detours, and reach the center of the maze faster.

Is it really that easy?

The maze designer would leave such an obvious loophole for the participants to take advantage of?

Pei Ze was a little skeptical.

But doubts are doubts, and he still intends to give it a try.

Just in case, Pei Ze gave up on using fireball and spell missile spells that would make huge noises to avoid attracting a large number of monsters, and instead used acid corrosion.

After reciting the spell silently in his mind, Pei Ze pointed his hand, and a ball of acid the size of a basketball appeared instantly and hit the wall of the corridor like a cannonball.

Immediately, there was a sizzling sound, and a lot of green smoke came out of the wall, and a pit was corroded visible to the naked eye.

However, at this moment, the wall suddenly trembled violently, as if someone was shaking a thick blanket vigorously, and violent distortions suddenly appeared on the surface of the wall, as well as mouths with pale lips.

The next moment, these mouths opened suddenly, and there were bursts of sharp and piercing screams.

The harsh sound swept through the entire corridor in an instant and spread far away.

Caught off guard, Pei Ze felt pain in his eardrums and quickly covered his ears.

It lasted for more than ten seconds before the sound gradually weakened, from screams to low sobs and groans.Pei Ze frowned and looked around, and found that centered on the place where the acid was hit, there were densely packed mouths that were opening and closing on the wall about a hundred meters long, which looked extremely scary.

But soon he couldn't care less about it.

From the corner at the end of the corridor, there was already a dense and chaotic sound of footsteps.

A few seconds later, a large group of monsters suddenly burst out from the corner.

Goblin bears, zombies, skeletal warriors, and bodaks, monsters of different races that would never be able to live in peace under normal circumstances, were crowded together and rushed towards Pei Ze with a murderous aura.

Pei Ze's eyes fell on one of the bugbears.

The opponent's state was obviously somewhat unusual. His eyes were red and saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth. He seemed to be in some kind of violent state.

Obviously, the sounds from those mouths just now should contain some kind of ability that can lure monsters to gather and drive them into a rage.

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy."

Pei Ze sighed and moved his fingers quickly in the void. In a blink of an eye, a mysterious and complex blue symbol was formed in the void.

Then he reached out and grasped the rune, slapped the sword, and instantly heard a crackling sound, and countless tiny arcs appeared on the surface of the sword.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Ze quickly drew another khaki rune and cyan rune, and patted himself on his body one after another.

Under the intertwined blue and yellow rays of light, his aura soared out of thin air.

After doing all this, Pei Ze's eyes narrowed, and his whole body shot out like a sharp arrow, brazenly facing the group of monsters.

boom!
The two parties met in the middle of the corridor in an instant and bumped into each other hard!
There were obviously more monsters, but the result of the collision was that they were all turned upside down.

The dozen or so monsters that rushed forward were instantly blasted into charcoal by the spreading arc, and fell straight to the ground lifeless.

Pei Ze is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, frantically harvesting the lives of monsters one after another.

The shining arc of electricity almost illuminated the entire corridor as if it were daytime.

With the blessing of the wind rune, Pei Ze's speed was unusually fast. He was like a ghost jumping among the dense monsters. Most of the monsters' attacks could not even touch the corners of his clothes.

The occasional hits on Pei Ze were blocked by the yellow halo that enveloped his body, not even damaging his fur.

The high-pitched beast roar and the crisp crackling of lightning echoed endlessly in the corridor.

This one-sided battle lasted less than 5 minutes.

Then the roar of the beast changed from strong to weak, gradually weakened, and finally disappeared.

As the last monster fell, the entire corridor suddenly returned to silence.

Standing among the corpses on the ground, Pei Ze waved his sword and shook off the blood stained on it.

He glanced at the sword body, and there were only a few arcs on it.

Looking at the yellow halo and cyan halo on his body, they have become extremely dim and are almost about to dissipate.

Obviously, the three elemental runes are on the verge of limit.

But Pei Ze is already very satisfied.

The group of monsters just now had at least two or three hundred heads, and more than half of them were Grand Knights.

Only three elemental runes can annihilate so many monsters. The actual combat effect of the elemental runes is even more powerful than he expected.

"This is still a normal elemental rune. After improving it with the omniscient eye, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the effect!"

A flash of expectation flashed in Pei Ze's eyes.

When he came back to his senses, he turned around and looked at the wall just now.

Those dense and strange mouths have disappeared, leaving only an ugly hollow in the wall.

"It seems that the method of destroying the wall will not work."

Pei Ze sighed with regret.

Sure enough, the maze designer would not leave such obvious loopholes.

As long as the wall is destroyed, a large number of monsters will besieged.

It was okay once or twice, but if it happened too many times, even Pei Ze couldn't hold it back.

If you use this method to rush, even if you can quickly reach the center of the maze, you will probably run out of energy by the time you get there.

If there are other dangers where the iridescent gem is located, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking deeper, before reaching the depths of the maze, mid-to-high-level knight-level monsters have already appeared.

When you reach the depths of the maze, there will most likely be magical creatures of the legendary knight level.

In case of destroying the wall and falling into the siege of a large number of legendary knight-level magical creatures, I am afraid that no apprentice wizard dares to say that he can break through.

Including Pei Ze himself.

"We can only use the fog crow to find the way."

Pei Ze looked away from the wall and rushed towards the end of the corridor.

On the next road, he summoned the fog crow as usual to explore the way.

As the Mist Crow's casualties continued to increase, he also went deeper into the maze.

Until a certain moment, Pei Ze suddenly noticed that the color of the surrounding walls suddenly changed from blue-gray to blue-white.

He vaguely understood that he should have entered the depths of the maze from the periphery.

And the monsters he encountered next confirmed his guess.

From here on, all the monsters encountered turned into knight-level magical creatures.

'Weak' monsters such as bugbears and zombies have disappeared.

Facing so many great knight-level monsters, Pei Ze already struggled with his sword skills and elemental runes.

He simply used the first-level monster summoning technique and summoned a ferocious wild boar to act as a pioneer and clean up the monsters for him.

The first-level summon monster spell summons an outside creature (usually an alien, elemental, or magical creature from another plane).

The summoned creatures will obey the caster's orders to fight or protect.

Its strength level and duration depend on the mental strength and spell attainment of the caster.

Pei Ze has done a test, and with his current mental attributes, using the improved first-level summon monster technique is enough to summon powerful monsters close to the level of a first-order legendary knight.

"A ferocious quilboar?"

Looking at the oppressive giant who was over five meters tall in front of him, Pei Ze nodded with satisfaction.

Dire boars are a subspecies of hill giants. They are natural lycanthropes with immense strength. They like to smash the heads of all enemies with giant wooden clubs.

The physique of an adult ferocious wild boar is not inferior to that of a first-order legendary knight, but he does not have any magical power, so he cannot compare with a real legendary knight.

But compared to ordinary peak knights, they are undoubtedly crushingly powerful.

"It's a pity that only one level one summoned monster can exist at a time. Otherwise, you can use this spell to create a small monster army."

Pei Ze thought with some regret, and then led the ferocious wild boar to continue exploring the maze.
