As the centaur slashed down with an axe, the splash parted again, but this time, the water elemental that had been firmly grasped was no longer able to dodge. Even though the damage of the Centaur Boss's Slash is weakened by the resistance of the water, it is not something that the water elemental can resist.

The blade of the axe split the surface of the water and slashed directly into the body of the water elemental, killing the water elemental in an instant.

With the death of the water elemental, this battle is over.

At the moment of the death of the water elemental, through the prompt in the system log, Rod found that he had obtained the 800 experience points corresponding to the water element.

Compared with ordinary fourth-order creatures, the water element is obviously in a stronger position, coupled with the advantage of terrain, even if the undead creatures controlled by Rhodes are stronger, but in the face of the water element, these undead creatures of his own are also not advantageous.

Rhodes recalled that in the previous battle, if it wasn't for the vampire taking the opportunity to capture the water elemental, then Rhodes probably still needed a lot of effort to kill the water elemental guarding the bottom of the water.

At this point, Rhodes set his sights on the centaur leader, who was pulling out the battle axe.

Rhodes knew that the reason why vampires were able to easily grasp the water elemental that was hiding underwater was because of the influence of the centaur leader on the water elemental.

The centaur leader took the initiative to use the effect of the mask on the water elemental, which caused the water element to be affected a lot, and was finally caught by the vampire because he had delayed too much time.

During the battle, Rhodes did not give too many orders to the centaur leader, and the centaur leader's timing of the use of the mask depended on his observation of the battle situation.

Rhodes didn't expect that what he originally thought of was the inheritance of the Silva tribe, so he returned the mask to the centaur leader, but in this case, the centaur leader used the mask to change the tide of the battle, and finally killed the water elemental.

Rhodes knew that with the use of masks, the centaur leader had been able to exert no small influence on fourth-order creatures. Compared to the phantom he saw when he fought the centaur leader, the water elemental should see something more realistic, so that it could affect its judgment.

At this time, at the signal of Rod, the centaur leader and the vampire carried the body of the water elemental to the shore.

Although he was killed by the Centaur Leader's battle axe, there was no blood on the corpse of the Water Elemental, and there was no anomalous reaction to the wound.

Rhodes knew that for elemental beings, their bodies were not like those of regular creatures, and they did not have blood in them. The core of their life is actually another substance.

Through the previous battle, Rhodes also confirmed that the pool water here should be just an ordinary water source, and it has little to do with the elven spring he originally wanted to seek.

However, since there is a water element guarding here, it also shows that there is a certain particularity here.

Therefore, at Rod's signal, the rest of the surrounding undead creatures immediately searched around the pool for traces of the Elven Spring, while Rhodes himself began to dispose of the corpse of the water elemental.

For elemental creatures, they are not made of flesh and blood, which means that Rhodes cannot transform them into undead creatures. And Rod's treatment of the water elemental corpse is actually to obtain the core part of the water elemental corpse.

Rhodes processed it with the weapon in his hand, and it didn't take long for him to take out a gem-like object from the corpse of the water elemental, corresponding to the heart of the human body, which was the core of the water element.

By the light of the fire, Rhodes looked towards the core of the water elemental in his hand. The surface of the core was extremely smooth, but there was no luster at all, like an ordinary stone on the side of the road, but on this hard object, it emitted a rich amount of water-based magical energy in all directions.

Rhodes knew that the elemental core in his hand could be sold for a lot of money even in Diya, where the necromancers gathered, and even in Bracada, the holy land of the mage, the price would be even higher.

This item has always been particularly valuable to elemental cores that can unleash magical energy. Unlike the Revenant Crystal, which can only be used at its best in the hands of a necromancer, this elemental core that releases water-based magical energy is obviously more valuable.

Rod carefully observed the elemental core in his hand, according to the experience of his previous life, Rod knew that the elemental core in his hand was already relatively good in terms of quality, and the purer elemental core was only provided by powerful elemental creatures, and it was generally not circulated in the market, most of which were treasured by the mage himself.

In his previous life, Rhodes traveled to the elemental plane, and he also had the purpose of collecting this elemental core.

As Rod removed the elemental core from the water elemental's body, the water element's body underwent some changes, but this change was not obvious. Rhodes knew that after losing the magical energy provided by the elemental core, it wouldn't be long before the water elemental's body would completely dissipate.

For elemental creatures, the elemental core in the body is their only weakness, and when the elemental core is directly attacked, the elemental creature will also take a lot of damage. If it weren't for this, the elemental creatures would be even stronger.

However, the Elemental Core also gives elemental creatures powerful spell casting abilities, making their ability to cast spells completely unrestricted by mana. Rhodes also knew that if he didn't deal with the elemental core in the water elemental's body, although the water element was dead now, after a while, the elemental core would resurrect the water elemental again.

And once the elemental core is removed, the various peculiarities of elemental creatures are useless.

After inspecting the elemental core in his hand, Rhodes included it in the spatial ring. At this time, in the spirit imprint, Rhodes received a message from the undead creature.

Knowing that the undead creature had searched for the anomaly here, Rhodes didn't wait any longer and walked towards the location of the undead creature .

After clearing the pool of water elementals, the undead creatures were able to search the surroundings thoroughly.

As the undead creatures searched around the pool, they also searched the structure of the place.

It turned out that the place was connected to an underground river, which was why Rhodes had been hearing the sound of the water before, and along the walls of the pool, the undead creatures discovered this during their search.

As they went deeper into the back of the pool, the water inside became more and more turbulent, and many centaur undead could hardly stand, and they had to fight against the power of the water all the time, and only the centaur leader still searched for anomalies in the torrent according to Rhodes' orders.

After discovering this, the vampire did not continue in the direction of the dark river, but searched in the direction of the relatively stable current, and finally found an anomaly at a wall in this place.
