After killing the bone vine, taking advantage of the last bit of time left in the fire thaumaturgy, Rhodes quickly swung the weapon in his hand and cut a hole in the core of the bone vine body.

Then, Rod reached out and quickly took something out of it and put it into the spatial ring.

After the bone vine lost its life, even its original defense was reduced a lot, and Rhodes could easily cut the part of the bone vine itself.

At this time, the duration of Rhodes' thaumaturgy expired, and the flames burned on the corpse of the bone vine, and there were also a lot of flames in the place where Rhodes was.

Originally, due to the existence of fire thaumaturgy, these flames could not ignite Rod's clothes, and after the fire thaumaturgy ended, the flames began to burn along Rod's black robe.

At this time, the entire room where the bone vine was located was filled with flames, the original passage was blocked again, and the mansion was still gradually collapsing, with conventional means, Rhodes could not escape at all.

Several stones fell from the top of Rod's head, and Rod's body moved, and suddenly, a black mist appeared from Rod's position, and the stones fell to the ground through the black fog, and then, bats poured out of the black fog.

The skill used by Rhodes is exactly what vampires are best at.

As early as in the previous battle, when Rod was checking the system logs, he saw this message:

"Eagle Eye Feedback: By observing the way the vampires fight, you have learned some of the key points of the skill [Batting], and you can spend 200 experience points to learn."

Since the hints obtained through the Eagle Eye Technique will always be saved, at this time, in order to get out of this sea of fire, Rod quickly opened the attribute panel and chose to learn [Bat Transformation].

It is the basis for Rhodes to dare to leave the mansion that has turned into a sea of fire.

Since Rod only has a rudimentary eagle eye technique, the chance of stealing skills in battle is not high, but this can't stop the vampire from batting next to Rod many times, and Rod has seen the vampire at least a dozen times of batting.

Therefore, through the Eagle Eye Technique, Rhodes got the hint of the skill of batting.

Rhodes had already received the hint of batting before, but Rhodes had never spent experience points to learn.

In Rod's original idea, the original use of a dagger to assassinate the mayor of the town required the use of the bat-transformation skill, so that he could get past the barrier of the bone vine and get close to the mayor.

However, because he was controlled by the dagger, this plan of Rod was not used. Fortunately, the dagger successfully killed the mayor, and Rhodes successfully escaped from the dagger's control.

At this time, the bat that Rhodes had turned into flew rapidly towards the sky.

Just turned into bats, Rod didn't get used to it for a while, but Rod had also used such skills in his previous life, so Rod mastered the skills of controlling bats in a short period of time.

In Rod's perception, these bats around him are like extensions of his own limbs, and Rod's consciousness does not exist in each bat, but in a higher level, ruling all bats.

Rhodes could consciously give orders to all the bats to move or attack, but he couldn't control them accurately.

The top of Rod's head, where he was before, was empty at this time, and the top of the mansion was empty at this time due to the burning flames and the whipping of the bone vines before.

The bat flew out towards the top of Rod's head, and since there was no obstruction, the bat could just fly straight out of the mansion.

At this moment, one of the top walls fell in the direction of the bat, and at Rod's signal, the bat quickly spread to the side.

The wall didn't hit the bat that Rhodes had turned into, but instead smashed the corpse of the bone vine on the ground, hiding it under the rocks.

Dodging the collapsing walls, the bats flew out of the hole in the roof of the mansion and gathered in the open space in front of the mansion.

As a burst of black mist surged by, Rhodes' figure emerged from the black mist.

At this time, Rod's backroom was in a sea of fire, and the entire mansion was in flames.

Ignoring the burning mansion and taking the undead creatures around him, Rhodes headed to the rear.

Coming to the corpse of the necromancer, according to Rod's idea, if he handles it properly, he should be able to create a ghost by using the corpse of the necromancer in front of him.

At this time, Rod seemed to have thought of something, and did not transform it immediately. Rod let one of the ghosts carry him on his back, and then walked aside.

Along the way, Rhodes took the undead creatures around him to the door of the original inn.

Letting the undead creatures hide around on their own, Rhodes entered the inn alone and returned to his original room.

At this time, the threat in the entire town had been completely eliminated, and Rhodes was relieved and did not let the vampires stand by the sidelines.

Finding a place in the room, Rhodes sat down.

At this time, a wave of sleepiness came to Rod, and in the original battle, Rod's body lost blood one after another, although the health value was replenished because of the relationship between attribute points and spells, but the physical exhaustion still existed.

Therefore, after just getting a temporary settling, Rod couldn't help but want to rest.

But, as if realizing something, Rhodes held back his sleepiness and did not choose to rest, but began to meditate.

As he was about to march inside Dya, he would encounter a necromancer at any point, so Rhodes needed to maintain a state that could fight.

Therefore, Rhodes needs to recover some mana before he can hit the road.

As his consciousness slowly calmed down, Rhodes also entered a meditative state.

…………

After some time, Rhodes finished meditating.

After sobering up, Rhodes looked at his stats panel.

At this time, the mana that had bottomed out had recovered to about half, and according to the mana recovered, Rhodes knew that a lot of time had passed since he started meditating.

Sunlight streamed in through the windows inside the room, allowing Rhodes to see the things inside the house.

More than half of the mana was restored, which was enough for Rod's spell to play a big role, so Rod stopped meditating, but walked out of the room and came to the bottom of the inn.

At this time, the old man was already waiting here.

The old man obviously didn't rest well, and when he saw Rod coming down from upstairs, the old man immediately stepped forward to greet him and said to Rode:

"I knew you would be able to return safely. Are you ready to get out of here...... Here are the gold coins I am willing to pay, please accept ......"

As he spoke, the old man took out a cloth bag directly from his pocket on the side, and directly greeted Rhodes and handed it to Rhodes. According to the old man, the cloth bag was full of gold coins.

For the old man, these gold coins may have been saved by him for so many years, and he was willing to give most of the gold coins on his body to Rhodes because he needed to take him to escape from here.

In the end, the old man just wants to live.

In order to prevent Rod from refusing, the old man even took the initiative to hand over the gold coins to Rhodes, in the old man's thoughts, once he took his gold coins, it would be difficult to refuse his request.

Holding these gold coins, Rhodes didn't say anything, just looked at the old man twice, and at the same time sensed the death energy on his body.

"Are you going to take me out of here now...... I had a carriage at the back of the hostel, ready to leave at any time. ”

At this time, the old man took out items similar to bags from the room, and as long as Rod agreed, the old man would immediately carry these bags to the carriage and follow Rod out of the place.

Rod didn't answer the old man's question, but took out a map from the spatial ring, which was the one that the mayor had given to Rod before.

Handing the map to the old man, Rhodes asked, "I'm going to go to the City of Sorrows, do you know if the location shown on this map is wrong?" ”

The old man took the map, looked at it carefully, and then said to Rhodes: "Although I am not sure, what is drawn on this map should be correct." ”

When the old man said this, he stared at Rod's eyes seriously. Rhodes seemed to notice something, but didn't care.

Rod took the map, and then stared at the old man without saying a word.

In Rod's perception, the death energy emitted by the old man did not increase, on the contrary, it was reduced a lot.

Rod realized that since he ended the conversation with the old man, the old man had adjusted his mental state a lot during this time.

According to the first time Rod met the old man, although he was just an ordinary person, according to the concentration of death energy emitted from his body, if he was dealt with, he could already be transformed into a ghost, but at this time, the death energy on the old man's body dispersed a lot.

Seeing that Rod had not spoken, the old man finally spoke: "Now, can you go...... Or will you have to wait a few more days......"

There was a slight doubt in his voice, but the old man did not dare to show it.

Rhodes said to the old man, "I plan to go to the City of Sorrows, you don't seem to have any specific escape location. ”

The old man was silent for a while, and then said to Rhodes: "Since I am alone, I don't have much choice when it comes to where to flee, I just hope to be able to leave with you." ”

When he said that he was alone, the death energy on the old man's body overflowed to the surroundings, and Rod keenly sensed it.

Rhodes said, "What about your relatives? Based on the gold coins you handed me over, there shouldn't be any problem with raising an heir, right? ”

The old man replied, "I had several sons, but all of them did not want to stay in the town, and left with the passing caravan and never returned. There was a hint of sadness in his voice.

The old man continued: "Before the mayor came to the town, the town was fine, until the mayor came here, the town was worse year by year, and the inhabitants of the town left one after another, and those who remained here were only those who could not walk and those who did not go far. “

"Due to the large reduction in the number of residents in the town, and the fact that there are not many merchant groups willing to come back to the town, my business cannot be done. Knowing this, it would have been better to leave here with your family. These gold coins are all from the ones I have saved before. ”

Due to the old man's old age and frailty, and because he did not have any relatives, even if he wanted to leave, he could not find a suitable way.

It was only at this time, after noticing Rod, that the old man thought that he had found the right person and put all his hopes on Rod.

Perhaps influenced by his thoughts, the old man felt a lot better at the thought of leaving this town, and even the death energy around him dissipated a lot.

Sensing this, Rod frowned, and at the same time asked the old man, "Do you think that even if you leave here, how long will you live?" ”

After listening, the old man was speechless for a while, looked at Rod, and did not make any reply.

Rhodes continued, "You know, the place I intend to go to is the city of sorrow in Diya, which is far more sinister than this town. ”

"Even if you're just an ordinary person, it's very difficult to survive if you don't have a necromancer around you as a background. For you, if you don't join the Necromancy Academy, you won't survive for more than a few days in the City of Sorrows. ”

"I see that your age is not too young, even if you join the Necromancy Academy, it will be too late to start learning spells. You can't beat the young necromancer, and you'll end up with death. ”

"Going to the City of Sorrow is a dead end for you."

Out of his knowledge of necromancers in his previous life, Rhodes said this.

Naturally, the purpose of Rod's words was not to persuade the old man.

In Rod's perception, as his words spoke, the death energy emitted by the old man gradually increased, and when Rod's words were finished, the concentration of death energy once exceeded what Rod's first perception was.

The old man is not yet an undead creature, and for the undead creature, releasing these death energies may be at the level of the second order, but for the old man who is still a human being, it is extremely rare to release these death energies.

After listening to Rod's words, the old man's body trembled, closed his eyes, and only opened them again after a while, as if he had calmed down, and asked Rod:

"Didn't you mean that the time to leave had not yet arrived? Now, are you able to go......"

The old man deliberately did not mention the question that Rhodes said, obviously trying to avoid it.

The old man's mind couldn't stop generating fear and doubts about the future. Previously, due to the death of a large number of people in the town, there were not a few people left in the whole town, and the old man no longer dared to stay in the town, but wanted to leave.

The old man didn't have any idea about the goal he was going to, he just wanted to leave the town as soon as possible.

At this time, after the reminder in Rod's words, the old man realized that even if he arrived at the City of Sorrow, with his own ability, he would not be able to live.

Ordinary people without rank cannot survive in the City of Sorrow. Since every necromancer needs their own undead creatures, ordinary people will be hunted and killed at will by necromancers without a certain background.

At the same time, due to the existence of high-level liberal chamber of commerce branches in the city, a large number of merchant groups will send various types of slaves to the city of sorrow, many of whom are ordinary people.

Therefore, according to the old man's current level, even if he reached the City of Sorrow, it would not be long before he would die at the hands of the necromancer's apprentice.

At the same time, due to the location in the territory of Diya and the influence of this atmosphere of necromancers, if the old man chooses to go to another place alone, without the protection of a strong person, then it will be difficult to even hold on to this journey.

The old man didn't know how he could live, so he could only avoid this question in his mind.

At this time, in Rhodes's perception, the death energy on the original old man's body was extremely rich, even surpassing that of ordinary undead creatures.

The old man tried to avoid the question, but he could not completely avoid thinking about it, and he became more and more afraid.

After a moment of silence, just when the death energy reached a certain level, Rhodes said to the old man, "It's time, take me to the carriage." ”

The old man led Rhodes towards the back of the hostel.

The moment the old man turned around, the blade stabbed out from his back, killing him in an instant.
