The next morning, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng returned to the game.
At this time, only one hour has passed in the game.
Goofy's Berserker, Jiang Feng's Monk, Eve, Muning and Sonia finished their short rest in the stone chamber and continued to sneak into the Ice Tower Fortress along the secret passage.
The stone steps extend upwards, leading to another room.
Sonia cast a spell to release the "secret lock", opened the door, and peeked inside.
There was no light in the room, it was quiet and dim.
With her innate dark vision, the White Dragon Queen saw the armor and weapon racks placed against the wall, turned to Gao Fei beside her and said:
"This seems to be Gelmir's armory."
Gao Fei nodded and was about to walk into the hall when he suddenly saw a hazy shadow flash past and immediately stopped, feeling alert.
At the same time, Sonia and Jiang Feng also heard something strange, and both looked at the row of plate armor placed against the opposite wall.
"Everyone, be careful, there seems to be someone hiding in the house!" Jiang Feng whispered, "I just heard the whirring sound of the wind blowing out of the armor."
The white dragon's "blind sense" and the monk's "heavenly ear" can hear the subtle tremors in the surroundings and sense the changes in the airflow.
With their keen hearing, they can detect creatures lurking in the dark, but they cannot see the specific image of the other party.
Gao Fei is also observing the movements in the hall.
His hearing is not as good as Jiang Feng and Sonia, but with the anti-invisibility function of the "Dawn Horn Helmet", his eyes can truly see invisible enemies!
Just as Jiang Feng heard, the six plate armors placed side by side in the corner of the hall had their helmets open.
A haze-like gray air mass was pouring out from the gaps in the armor, gathering in mid-air to form a vague human shape about nine feet tall.
Gao Fei quickly told his companions what he saw, and at the same time opened the astrolabe to see what the origins of those mysterious invisible creatures were.
The investigation results showed that there were six "invisible stalkers" lurking in the hall.
This is a creature native to the "air elemental plane", a subspecies of the wind element, with a challenge level of 9.
"Invisible Stalker" has 120 HP, and its attributes and racial talents are similar to those of the large wind element. In addition, it also has two unique abilities.
One is Mastery Tracking, which gives you advantage on Perception and Tracking checks and counts double your proficiency modifier.
The second is "natural invisibility", which is like being always under the protection of the 4th level "Advanced Invisibility". Even if you launch an attack, your traces will not be exposed.
It is precisely because of these two characteristics that high-level spellcasters occasionally summon "invisible stalkers" to force them to make contracts, perform assassination missions, or serve as guards.
The six invisible stalkers in the hall were obviously summoned by Gelmir, who ordered them to guard the armory.
The invisible stalkers were alerted by the sound of the door opening and emerged from the armor where they were sheltering.
At this time, they were still unsure whether the person who opened the door was an intruder or Gelmir's men, so they did not launch an attack immediately. They used their natural invisibility to hide, planning to wait for the uninvited guests to enter the room and confirm their presence.
Take action after your identity is confirmed.
"Hush - don't make a sound!"
Sonia used telepathy to directly convey her voice to the minds of Gao Fei and others.
"These little darlings seem to want to play a game of 'hide and seek'? Great, let me give them a big surprise!"
She took out a small piece of mica from the spell-casting material bag, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"tinwé!"
The White Dragon Queen chanted a spell that symbolized "flash", used the piece of mica in her hand as a spell casting material, and cast "flash dust" strengthened by "spell expansion" and super magic at the area where invisible stalkers gathered in the hall!
The 2-ring magic "Flash Dust" has a diffusion range of 10 feet under normal circumstances. After the super magic expansion, it becomes 20 feet, which is enough to cover all invisible stalkers.
A sudden burst of bright light made the hall as bright as day.
The six invisible stalkers were caught off guard and were instantly blinded.
What's even more terrible is that "Flash Dust" also has an anti-hiding function.
Countless tiny luminous dusts dispersed in the hall and adhered to the surface of the invisible stalkers, outlining shining outlines and making it impossible for them to escape.
When Eve saw the enemy appearing, she immediately waved her hand to open a wall of fire, surrounding all six stalkers who were no longer invisible.
The height of the hall from floor to ceiling is approximately 15 feet.
Eve's "Fire Wall" happens to be 15 feet high, and the flames burn from the floor to the ceiling, like a red cage, trapping the invisible stalkers.
The blind invisible stalker felt the heat wave emanating from the wall of fire and spun around in fear.
However, not long after, the wall of fire erupted violently towards the inside, causing 22 points of burning damage to each of them.
The invisible stalkers realized that they would be burned alive if they continued to stay here, so they had no choice but to fly towards the wall of fire.
He fought so hard that another 20 HP points were burned, and he forced his way out of the cage formed by the wall of fire. Little did he know that he had turned from a "stalker" into a prey.
Jiang Feng had been waiting for them for a long time.
Extract 14 points of infuriating energy, raise your hand and blast out a brilliant palm force that looks like a rainbow of light!
All six invisible stalkers were swallowed up by the "Rainbow Jet".
Just after getting rid of the blindness caused by "glitter dust", I was blinded by the colorful rainbow light.
Two of these invisible stalkers hit the jackpot.
One was hit by the cyan beam and turned into loose stone powder, which decomposed and dissipated on its own.
The other one was hit by a purple beam and was forcibly transported to an unknown plane.
There are four left, each suffering 52 points of fire, electricity, acid, and cold damage, and they are unfortunately arranged in a straight line.
Gao Fei's eyes lit up, and he seized the opportunity to rush forward, swinging the giant ax around like a whirlwind passing through!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
With a set of "Lion's Charge" and "Blade Storm", Gao Fei sent four invisible stalkers with residual health back to his hometown.
These summoned wind elemental creatures will not really die in the material world.
The moment their HP returned to zero, their physical bodies turned into a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace, while their spirits returned to the elemental plane of wind.
…
After getting rid of the invisible stalker, Gao Fei and his party passed through the back door of the armory and continued to explore the upper level of the Ice Tower Fortress.
To be precise, they were still in the area beneath the surface of the ice tower, almost a hundred feet above the ground.
Climbing up the stairs, there is also a magically reinforced gate blocking the way.
Sonia skillfully cast a spell to unlock it and gently pushed open a crack in the door.
Goofy doesn't need to peek through the crack in the door.
Spend an astrolabe energy to directly display the situation inside the door on the astrolabe screen.
Opposite the door is also a dark hall, with a layout similar to that of an armory. There are crates and barrels placed on the shelves built against the wall, which seem to be stored supplies.
