Chapter 189
In that split second, he lost focus for a moment and found himself back on the guard tower. Asvich and Wang Ningwei were also dumbfounded.
they clearly had not reacted to what had happened. how did they suddenly appear here when they were just sitting on the grass?
“i’ve reversed time, you guys keep running.” zhao xu said directly to the two women.
after ashvich and wang ningwei heard what zhao xu said, they didn’t hesitate to ask zhao xu about it. they didn’t even care if he still had the feather drop spell. they just listened to zhao xu’s instructions and ran towards the low wall without any regard for their own safety.
This was also one of the reasons why Zhao Xu liked to be teammates with smart people.
The time backtrack talisman allowed Zhao Xu to return to six seconds ago, and everyone else in the area was in the same state.
When the two women jumped into the air, they would find that the spell slots they had just used up were back.
zhao xu was standing on the fifth floor of the guard tower and was basking in the light from kazuki.
After he found out that there wouldn’t be a bunch of muscular demons at the place he was teleported to, he felt a little more at ease.
Zhao Xu tapped on the ring on his index finger to make himself invisible, even though he guessed that this stone stool was also a notebook and that it must have some sort of truth-telling effect.
Then, he took out his protective magic staff and cast a spell on the notebook.”Dispel the spell.”
However, the magic staff in Zhao Xu’s hand had always worked well, so when the light from the dispelling magic hit the notebook, it didn’t move at all.
When Zhao Xu saw this, he shook his head.
as expected, it was not a good thing to be able to start all over again. it had directly wasted two shots of energy from his staff.
However, the invisibility spell on his body was not canceled because of the casting.
perhaps it meant something.
If he cast a spell on someone he thought was an enemy, Zhao Xu’s invisibility effect would disappear.
At the same time, the purple light from the diary fell on Zhao Xu’s body again.
This time, Zhao Xu’s mind was calm. He looked ahead quietly, as if he was waiting to board a plane. After a second or two, the purple light slowly engulfed him, and the teleportation effect was activated.
at this moment, zhao xu looked at the room that he had just been in six seconds ago and couldn’t help but shake his head.
He didn’t understand why the notebook was staring at him.
after a few seconds, the notebook that zhao xu had just passed through reappeared on the stone block.
Zhao Xu was just barely able to make sure that Wang Ningwei and the other woman were safe.
the reason why he had been teleported here was definitely because of this notebook.
He wondered if the pit fiend knew about this.
Zhao Xu walked over quietly and picked up the notebook to flip through it. He realized that there were indeed more words on it compared to when he first started.
” today, he told me that as long as i can find an excuse to say that the soldier died of a serious illness, then bury him in the location he requested, he will be able to give me life. ”
“I’ve tried, and I’ve indeed become much younger. My appearance and energy ...”
” no, why does it look like horns are growing on my head? ”
“Ah!”
“I’ve become a demon.”
there were several pages in the notebook, and zhao xu was looking at the last part of the notebook.
as for the front, most of them were the various combat thoughts and training experiences of the commander of the stationed army.
Zhao Xu couldn’t believe it. He read through the notes again and realized that there was no mention of the altar. There wasn’t even any mention of the stone block.
Zhao Xu, who was invisible, kept thinking about all the things that had happened.
this meant that those things were completed after he became a devil.
even though he had been tricked into this place that looked like a demon’s lair by this notebook, zhao xu still obediently put the notebook back into his pocket.
Since he was already here, Zhao Xu didn’t plan on using windscout anymore. This spell was cast using wind as a medium, and it relied on the flow of wind to transmit information.
With the two ladies reporting the details to Reyan, it was actually almost enough.
at this moment, zhao xu slowed down his footsteps, afraid that the sound of his footsteps would alert some hidden existence.
After that, Zhao Xu used his head to spy on the situation. After making sure that there weren’t any demons patrolling the area, he walked out of the room and into the corridor.
compared to the demons ‘permanent true knowledge effect, the demons’ methods of breaking through stealth were much more limited.
but zhao xu also knew that the demons in this world weren’t as simple as they seemed to be.
It wouldn’t be strange if they really met an ordinary-looking demon with an additional stealth-breaking effect.
Hence, having invisibility did not mean that he was invincible.
zhao xu was in a long corridor that was surrounded by stone walls. there would be a gate at the side of the corridor that he could enter from a few meters away.
zhao xu slowly walked forward.
he glanced around and knew that behind these gates was actually a prison, specially used for holding people.
At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but turn around and look at the stone block that had brought him here. That was the room at the end of this corridor, and there wasn’t a locked door.
From the looks of it, it was probably a teleportation room. Perhaps the pit fiend had used this path to enter.
otherwise, the other party could have just used the teleportation spell after the slaughter.
Zhao Xu was also afraid that if he just stayed in the teleportation room like a fool, he would be discovered by the demons who came back from the outside or the demons who came to patrol the altar. Then, he would be caught like a turtle in a jar. If that happened, he would really have been blind.
After he made up his mind, Zhao Xu walked down the main corridor of the prison.
when he reached the end, his field of vision changed slightly, and he found that there was a hall with a dome.
in addition to the door that led to the prison and the teleportation room, there were three other doors in front of him that were in different directions, corresponding to the east, west, and north.
zhao xu walked up to them and took out the silver wire and the bell. he started casting an alarm barrier and also activated mental warning.
Because the boundaries of his spells were very close to the other three doors, Zhao Xu would know who appeared in the hall next.
controlling the flow of people at key points was what zhao xu had been after in the past.
this meant that no matter which path zhao xu chose to continue down, he wouldn’t have to worry about ” people ” entering the hall and blocking his way from behind without him knowing.
after he was done, zhao xu tried his best to place the bell in his hand in an inconspicuous corner.
But just as Zhao Xu stood up, he looked at the bell with a conflicted expression. He thought about it for a while and decided to use up another level 2 spell slot to cast the ” master spy’s coin ” spell.
the ” spy master’s coin ” was the equivalent of zhao xu being able to turn any coin into an invisible camera and monitoring device.
however, the price was that it could only be used once.
The spell would last for six hours in Zhao Xu’s hands, and as long as he activated the spell during that time, he would be able to see exactly what would happen in the next six rounds (36 seconds).
of course, zhao xu could activate the spell after he found the alarm and see who was passing through the hall. then, he could make sure that the person wasn’t heading in his direction to block his way.
after zhao xu cast the spell, he set the bell as a surveillance device and continued to move forward. but suddenly, he felt the notebook on his chest move slightly.
Zhao Xu was invisible, so he couldn’t think too much. He found a dark corner in the hall, leaned against the wall, and flipped open his notebook.
new content appeared on the newest page of the notebook that had been pieced together from the fragments.
“i don’t know if it’s me or it’s it that i wake up every day.”
I know that the duration of ‘I’ is getting shorter and shorter. It’s more like ‘it’ has woken up.
“It is looking for the altar of blood. i built a ‘sentry tower’ according to his request. with a sentry tower, it will be easier to observe, but it also means that ‘i’ don’t have much time left.”
it wants to find that altar. A divine artifact is enshrined there.
This time, the contents of the notebook stopped here.
it was as if he had arrived in a new area and felt a different aura. the notebook continued to release more knowledge.
Zhao Xu looked at the words ” divine gear ” for a long time and couldn’t move his eyes away.
Now, he finally knew where the power of the shield came from.
The interference of divine power was the most overbearing.
But when Antonya had given him the divine gear, he had not dared to accept it.
Now that even the demons had to worship this divine artifact, Zhao Xu didn’t dare to get involved with it. He turned his head around and gave up on the path in the middle that was most likely the altar’s target. He went straight for the door on the right.
Zhao Xu had to go to a few more places to try and activate the contents of the notebook.
the notebook, which was an important carrier for the teleportation, also followed him to the underground city.
So Zhao Xu didn’t expect Reyan and the others to find this place very quickly.
This was also why Zhao Xu had tried to do a simple search and rescue.
Compared to the environment in the hall, the walls on the right side of the road had a lot more paint. However, most of them had fallen off and could not be seen clearly. Moreover, compared to the road they had just come from, there were no rooms on either side of this road.
Just like that, Zhao Xu walked all the way to the end. In front of him was a heavy stone door that had been cut out of a giant rock, and there were many patterns carved on it.
but most importantly, at the very center of the stone door, there was a carved skull head holding a sickle.
Is this the altar of the Grim Reaper?
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but take another step forward. He noticed that there was a line of words carved on it: ” believers enter.
Below the words was a pit about two fingers wide, which was just enough to put a Holy emblem.
this meant that the priests of the death god had to place their holy emblem to open the stone door.
even the devil was helpless.
a few different images flashed through zhao xu’s mind.
the god of death, who had died along with the second goddess of magic, had never been resurrected. The divine title of death was now held by many gods.
One of them was the goddess of magic, sisylvana.
His Holy emblem might be useful?
at this moment, zhao xu took out his holy emblem and gently placed it in the hole.
“thump.”
the stone door moved.
