Chapter 95: If you dare to take action, you must be mentally prepared to be counter-attacked
!
After tearing off the copper lock, the ferocious wild boar man opened the lid of the box.
Pei Ze waited patiently for a while, and after making sure there was no danger, he stepped forward and looked down.
There was only a fist-sized crystal ball and a note in Nuo Da's treasure chest.
Pei Ze picked up the note and looked at it. It said how to use the crystal ball.
To his surprise, this was a magic item that stored detection spells.
When you encounter a fork in the road, just activate the detection spell to guide you to the correct path to your destination.
The only drawback is that there are only ten detection spells stored in the crystal ball, and they are invalid after use.
"It seems that these are the props prepared by the Dawn Council for the participants."
Pei Ze raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
With this crystal ball, the next journey will be much easier.
As for what to do after using the detection spell. There must be more than one crystal ball like this in the maze.
As long as you get enough crystal balls, you can reach the center of the maze smoothly.
There are only two ways to get a crystal ball.
The first is to find a room with a treasure chest, defeat the guardian monster and open the treasure chest.
The second is to find the wizard apprentice who holds the crystal ball and steal the crystal ball from them.
"Sure enough, I knew that the Dawn Council would definitely find ways to intensify the confrontation between the participants."
Pei Ze clicked his tongue and picked up the crystal ball.
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the exit on the other side of the room.
With the sound of slight footsteps, three men walked in from the door.
When they met, both parties were startled.
Pei Ze glanced at the gray robes worn by the three of them. Through the gap in the collar, he could clearly see the leather armor underneath.
City Guards? Or the Silver Light Legion?
At the same time, the three men were also looking at Pei Ze warily.
When their eyes fell on the crystal ball in Pei Ze's hand, the eyes of the three of them suddenly lit up.
"Explore the crystal ball!"
The three of them looked at each other and spread out in tacit agreement. While surrounding Pei Ze, they also blocked the exits on both sides of the room.
"Hand over the crystal ball and we will let you go!"
One of the three, a man in his thirties with a rough face, said coldly.
The other two people also stared at Pei Ze with threatening faces.
From the looks of it, if Pei Ze refuses, they will take action immediately.
But to their surprise, when surrounded by the three of them, the boy in front of them not only showed no fear or anxiety, but instead showed a cheerful smile.
Of course Pei Ze was happy.
Since these three people can recognize the crystal ball in his hand, it means that they have acquired it before.
Then it is very likely that they have a crystal ball on them at this time.
Just now he was thinking about where to look for a crystal ball, and now someone came to his door. Could he be unhappy?
On the mountainside.
Night has fallen.
Yet almost no one chooses to leave.
Many apprentices picked up rocks on the ground and used them as temporary light sources after applying light.
The dense light sources illuminate the entire mountainside like daylight.
Everyone was still staring at the light curtain, unwilling to look away.
As more and more people are eliminated, the number of images of the sky light curtain gradually decreases.
By this time, there were only about fifty pictures left.
During this period, Gu Lin, Yin Guang, Meng Kai and others had been focusing on Pei Ze's actions.
Therefore, they all showed surprise after watching the whole process of Pei Ze killing the Minotaur.
"It's so powerful!"
"That's a tauren, and he killed it so easily!"
"Pe Ze is still astonishingly strong as always!"
The wizard apprentices at the Tower Academy were all amazed.
In contrast, several students from Shadow Academy looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
They had always thought that the rumor that Pei Ze had killed the legendary knight had some substance, and the authenticity was open to question.
But now it seems that the rumors may be true!
Let alone moisture, Pei Ze's strength is even stronger than rumored.
Being able to kill a tauren so easily, Pei Ze's strength can be considered among the top few among the many participants.
I am afraid that except for a few people such as Sang Fan, Meng Wei and Su Shouhai, no one can beat him.
Meng Kai also understood this, and his face had already become extremely gloomy.
Breaking his head, he would never have thought that a first-year student could be so powerful.
"Damn it, where did this kid come from?"
Meng Kai was secretly anxious, and he didn't have the assurance of victory before.
The power Pei Ze displayed at this moment already made him feel threatened.
If he really lost the bet to Gu Lin, five hundred magic stone coins would be enough to break his bones.
Meng Kai could only comfort himself. With Sang Fan, Meng Wei and Su Shouhai, the three competition places were almost locked. As long as nothing happened to them, Pei Ze would not be able to get the place.
On the other side, Yin Guang stared at the picture in a daze, unable to calm down.
It's one thing to hear about it, but it's another thing to actually see Pei Ze kill a legendary knight-level magical creature.
At this moment, he deeply felt the gap between himself and Pei Ze.
Among everyone, Gu Lin was relatively calm.
She had already guessed that Pei Ze must have grown by leaps and bounds after not seeing him for a while.
Otherwise, she would not have provoked Meng Kai to make a bet of five hundred magic stone coins.
And the facts proved that Pei Ze did not disappoint her.
"I've made a lot of money this time!"
Gu Lin thought happily.
But at this moment, a low cry suddenly came from her ears, waking her up from her joy.
Gu Lin subconsciously looked up, and what came into view was the confrontation between Pei Ze and three wizard apprentices.
"From the City Guards? Or from the Silver Light Legion?"
"They are from the City Guards. I recognize the leader. He is Tan Yang."
"Tan Yang? Is it true? I heard that he is a City Guard Among those who participated in the trial this time, the wizard apprentice is second only to Sang Fan in strength!" "
Yes, that's him, I recognize his appearance."
"Ah, isn't Pei Ze in trouble then?"
The sudden change suddenly wiped out the joyful atmosphere just now.
Everyone in the Tower Academy had solemn expressions on their faces. On the other hand, several shadow students, including Meng Kai, looked happy.
Tan Yang is well-known among the participants and is regarded as the second-tier elite after Meng Wei and the others.
Facing such a master, Pei Ze himself was already in quite a lot of trouble, and with the addition of the other two wizard apprentices, he was no match for him.
After all, those who have not been eliminated at this point in time are all strong players with good strength.
But soon, Meng Kai realized something again, and the joy on his face stopped.
In this case, as long as Pei Ze obediently hands over the crystal ball, Tan Yang and the others will definitely not take the risk of getting injured and wasting their strength to fight Pei Ze. After all, defeating Pei Ze will do them no good.
In this way, wouldn't Pei Ze's crisis be solved?
Mengkai was immediately disappointed.
But the next moment, what happened on the screen made him stunned.
Pei Ze suddenly raised his hand and fired a magic missile towards Tan Yang and the other three.
He actually took the initiative to attack!
When he came back to his senses, Meng Kai was immediately overjoyed.
"Haha, this kid actually seeks death!"
Yin Guang was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Pei Ze to be so stubborn and choose to start a war without saying a word.
Gu Lin was the only one with a 'sure enough' expression on his face.
As the battle broke out, everyone's eyes were attracted to the screen like magnets, fearing to miss any scene.
Tan Yang and the others didn't expect to take action as soon as Pei Ze told them to. They were caught off guard and were hit by magic missiles.
But this is just the beginning.
Before they could recover, Pei Ze had already prepared his next spell.
A gray wave clearly visible to the naked eye centered on him and spread in all directions instantly, sweeping across the entire room.
Terror!
Under normal circumstances, the panic spell is not very effective against mentally strong casters. At most, it can only make casters of the same level feel slightly flustered.
However, what Pei Ze performed was not an ordinary panic technique, but an improved and enhanced version.
As a result, after Tan Yang and the other three were hit by the attack, panic and fear appeared in their eyes, and it took half a second to get rid of the influence of the panic spell.
This time is enough for Pei Ze to take the next step.
As soon as Tan Yang recovered, he saw Pei Ze appearing behind a companion like a ghost, with a lightning probing hand pressing on his head.
Under the dim firelight, tiny arcs of electricity could be vaguely seen flowing on the surface of Pei Ze's palm.
Electric claw!
Crack!
A large number of arcs suddenly exploded from Pei Ze's palm, and the raging current instantly annihilated the mage armor on the human body.
Then there was another click, and the protective ring on his hand also exploded.
Fortunately, after breaking through two layers of protection, the exploding arc finally lost its stamina and disappeared.
But before the man could show his joy, a lightning-like stream of light suddenly came over, penetrated into the back of his head, and came out of his mouth!
There was a crackling sound, and the electric current that exploded from the sword blade smashed the man's head into pieces.
From beginning to end, Tan Yang didn't have time to rescue his companion, and could only watch him die under Pei Ze's sword.
"You guy! How dare you kill someone!" Tan Yang said with tears in his eyes.
Pei Ze glanced at him and said calmly: "Since you dare to take action, you must be mentally prepared to be killed. You don't understand this at all, but you are still a member of the army." Tan Yang was furious, his eyes were red
. He killed Pei Ze.
Another companion seemed to have woken up from a dream, and quickly surrounded and killed him from the other direction, but was stopped by the ferocious wild boar man halfway.
The City Guards pay attention to practicality, and their fighting style is quite similar to that of Pei Ze. They combine physical melee combat with spells. During the intervals between close combat encounters with the enemy, they wait for opportunities to cast spells to attack the enemy.
This fighting style values two things most.
The first point is that you must have strong physical fitness.
The second point is that you must be proficient in preparing spells while fighting.
And if you want to better achieve the second point, the best way is to master the silent spell.
But this kind of super magic technique is extremely difficult.
Among the thousands of third-level wizard apprentices in the city guard, only Sang Fan has mastered the silent spell.
Even Tan Yang has no control over the rest.
However, after the actual fight, Tan Yang was shocked to find that Pei Ze had suppressed him on both points.
The opponent has already mastered the silent spells, and his physical fitness has reached the peak level of a great knight, which is a small level higher than him.
In this case, it didn't take long for him to be beaten to the left by Pei Ze.
Then, he quickly discovered something was wrong.
Pei Ze's speed in preparing spells was surprisingly fast, which could not be explained by the silent spell casting.
And the power of the spell is also unusually strong.
The power of the same spell cast by his hands was not even half of that of Pei Ze.
"Damn it, what's going on with this kid?"
Tan Yang finally realized that he had kicked an iron plate.
The boy in front of me is not one of those weak and bullied academy students at all, but a strong man on the same level as Sang Fan!
But what he couldn't understand was that the man in front of him looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. How could he be so powerful?
When did Tower Academy produce such a genius?
Even if it's Pei Ze. Wait, Pei Ze!
Tan Yang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly remembered the rumors he heard some time ago.
Could it be that the person in front of him is Pei Ze who killed the binge drinker and Huonan? !
That's right, there is no way that there will be another such a powerful young student in the Tower Academy!
Thinking of this, Tan Yang suddenly felt bitter in his mouth.
He never expected that a student he met by chance was the rumored genius apprentice.
And this strength is more powerful than the rumors.
"Damn it!"
With another curse, Tan Yang released his demon pet, a lizard covered with a thick armor layer.
At the same time, his companion also summoned a purple toad that was obviously poisonous.
Seeing this, Pei Ze smiled, and the black bracelet on his wrist suddenly collapsed and turned into a black mist.
The next moment, countless fog crows rushed out of the fog, sweeping towards Tan Yang and their magic pets like a torrent.
Tan Yang's expression changed in shock. He only had time to add a shield to himself, and then he was drowned by the torrent.
His vision was instantly occupied by darkness, and countless sharp claws struck from all directions, hitting the shield and mage armor on his body.
In just an instant, both the shield and the mage's armor were broken.
At the critical moment, Tan Yang activated the secondary stone skin ring he carried with him, and his skin was suddenly dyed a layer of blue-grey, becoming as indestructible as gold and stone, and he was not torn to pieces by the fog crow.
But before he could relax, a scream suddenly came from his ears.
The sound only lasted for a moment and then stopped abruptly.
Tan Yang's expression changed, knowing that his companion was probably in danger.
Immediately afterwards, the connection with the demon pet was also severed, and his lizard demon pet had died in the battle.
But Tan Yang couldn't care less about his heartache, and a strong fear emerged deep in his heart.
He struggled in his heart for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, preparing to activate the teleportation ring and leave here.
The competition quota is tempting, but in any case, one's own life is more important.
He didn't want to lose his life here like his two companions.
But just when Tan Yang was about to activate the teleportation technique on the ring, he suddenly felt the pressure around him lighten, and the crows suddenly dispersed.
He looked up in shock and met Pei Ze's indifferent gaze.
