The hidden pathways at this level were numerous, and there was an eighty-percent chance that a powerful magician was stationed here.
Elite boss, avoid if possible; there's no need to lose health here.

After traveling another five miles, it was Chen Shijie who stopped first to give a heads-up: "Ahead is another powerful magician. There is also an underground cave nearby with many barbarian soldiers. We need to take a detour."
"Wait." Zhao Xing stopped Old Chen, then carefully sensed.
They waited for twenty breaths.
Zhao Xing said: "No need to detour. It's fake. There's a Four Symbols Earth Vein Pearl placed there, creating the illusion of an expert's presence."
"Look carefully at the changes in the fire veins at the Kun Position and Kan Position and compare them to the fire veins we've encountered so far, and you can see the difference."
Chen Shijie said: "Sorry, I can't tell."
Old Chen was experienced in countless battles, but he had never encountered this before.
