The light in the forest dimmed, and dark red blood flowed freely. Among the stumps and bones in one place, only one person stood with a sword, and the fishy smell wafting in the sky lingered for a long time.

After killing the Apprentice, Rhodes used his remaining strength to clear out the few undead creatures on the battlefield.

Without giving himself time to rest, after killing all the undead creatures, Rhodes began to clean up the battlefield and count the loot he had obtained.

During the previous battle, Rhodes had not seen the undead creature carrying anything similar to a bag, so Rhodes focused his search on the apprentice's corpse.

The mana exploded forcibly inside the body, and the apprentice's body was riddled with holes, and it seemed that as long as he pulled hard, the parts of the body could be easily separated.

This also made Rhodes sigh that the hero's corpse was destroyed like this. If it weren't for this transformation, this hero-level corpse would probably be of a lot of use.

Hero-level corpses, if used to transform into undead creatures, have an innate advantage over ordinary undead creatures. After going through some rituals, he is even more qualified to transform into a death knight.

In the production of some powerful treasures, the corpses of heroes are also used. The person who makes the treasure doesn't care if the hero's corpse comes from a human race or a different race.

Therefore, the corpse of the hero level, which is of great value. Even if the freelance chamber of commerce does not accept hero-level corpses on the surface, the prices in the black market have always been high.

Of course, living heroes are more expensive.

What makes Rhodes a little regretful is that the apprentice-level corpse is damaged like this, and basically a series of subsequent added value is gone, and even the undead creatures cannot be transformed.

During the search for the apprentice's body, Rod found a pendant inside his clothes, which was soaked in some blood, giving Rod a strange feeling, and Rod held it in his hand. Then he found a plain ring on his bloody finger, which Rhodes might have overlooked if he hadn't paid special attention to the place based on his previous experience.

Apprentice-level necromancers are still struggling to obtain gold coins, and it is difficult to say that they should put their mind into such decorations, whether they are pendants or rings.

Holding the ring, Rhodes made an attempt. Feeling that his mana had a tendency to flow into it, Rhodes knew that he had found the right one, and it was a spatial ring.

Space Rings are expensive, far beyond what an apprentice can afford. Rhodes guessed that the Necromancer's Apprentice was the gold he earned after selling the captured hero. This also shows that the hero he wants to rescue is in a safe place for the time being.

Rod recalls that opening the Space Ring generally requires 10 mana points. After that, even if the Spatial Ring is lost, no one else can open it until the Mana Injector dies.

Injecting all the remaining mana into the space ring, Rhodes felt it, and the space ring did not come with any reaction. Since the current mana value does not meet the minimum standard for opening the space ring, Rod didn't care about it, but just put it away.

According to his habit of holding a weapon in his right hand, in order to avoid the ring affecting the weapon during battle, Rod put the spatial ring on his left index finger.

Then Rod began to examine the pendant. The pendant is diamond-shaped, with layers of yellowed and blackened strips of cloth on the outside, which at this time have been stained red with blood, and a hard object is wrapped inside.

Unable to tell what it was doing from its appearances, Rhodes looked at the system logs.

Through the system log, Rod learned that this pendant was a hero-level pendant type treasure. Pendant treasures generally come with some special bonuses.

Various bonuses attached to the pendant are possible, but the most useful effect is to increase mana regeneration per hour. The stats attached are generally not related to the direct strength in battle.

A player can equip up to three pendants at the same time. When the number of pendants exceeds three, the last pendant cannot be attached to the special effect, and can only be used as an ornament.

Rod recalls that when three pendants are equipped at the same time, an achievement can be obtained.

After checking the pendant properties, just as Rhodes was about to close the system log, Rod noticed an inconspicuous place in the system log, that is, the name of the original owner of the pendant.

"Elliott ......"

Rhodes, who was in a previous life, had heard of this name.

The hero Elliott was active in the game's first few expansions, especially in the Shadow of Death expansion.

Elliott's origins are a mystery, no one knows his origins, and the earliest records of him can only be traced back to Dia's Crow Necromancer Academy. He joined the battlefield as a necromancer, and it didn't take long for him to become one of the most powerful undead lords of the time with his superb spells and ruthless methods, and then disappeared when he had a premonition that the entire battle was going to fail.

Information from the game of his past life flashed through Rod's mind, and Rod took a deep look at the mangled corpse of his apprentice on the ground.

The hero who is destined to do something is killed by himself before he grows up, and he has more or less changed the direction of the plot in the game.

In other words, the plot that happened in the game in the previous life will not change in general, but it will not be exactly the same. The game experience of his previous life can only be used as a reference, rather than being completely believed. In the future, when dealing with some tasks, you need to make more judgment.

Looking at the pendant he was holding in his hand, Rhodes had some thoughts.

The bloodline perception attribute added by the pendant is not very useful for ordinary people, but it is different for Rhodes, who has a soul mission in his body, and bloodline perception is an attribute that Rhodes needs to use.

Before, Rod was still worried about how to find the traces of his sister Rowling, and after obtaining this pendant, as long as Rowling appeared within a certain range of Rod's surroundings, Rod could sense it.

Rhodes puts the pendant on. Bloodline perception needs to be within a certain range to work, and wearing the pendant doesn't make Rhodes feel anything.

Since Elliott's other items are stored in the Space Ring, Rhodes can't open it with his current mana, so he can only wait until his mana is increased before trying.

It was getting dark.

Maybe it's the trees in the forest, or maybe it's the preoccupation in the battle, when fighting the magic apprentice, Rhodes doesn't notice it at all. It wasn't until Rod finished counting that he noticed something difficult to see, and when he looked up, the sky had turned dark.

With the smell of fishy surroundings and the dim light inside the tomb, Rhodes returned to the trunk of the tree where he had observed his apprentice, ready to meditate in order to get enough mana to open the Spatial Ring.
