Chapter 418: A Deadly Secret

"Whew!!"

With Rod's whistle, the vulture immediately felt a hot sensation piercing his body from behind in an instant, he subconsciously looked down, and then saw the long sword that pierced his chest, white and flawless, emitting a faint divine light. Then, the Death Knight felt his eyes go black.

The black sword silently pierced the back of the vulture's head, piercing his brain and even blinding one of the Death Knight's eyes. But this was certainly not the end, and soon, the winged soul bird swooped down from the sky with a scream, clutching at the Death Knight's body, and dazzling lightning burst out in all directions, enveloping the vultures in an instant. Then, the Centaur Knight galloped out of the shadows, his spear raised in the air, and stabbed forward.

A palm wrapped in electric light stretched out at this time, and smashed the spear in the centaur knight's hand with a punch. The huge impact suddenly exploded, mixed with wind dust and dust and spread out. The hard, huge knight's spear even made a hoarse sound under the punch, and then bent hard.

"Whew!"

At this time, the Hellhound had already arrived in front of the Death Knight, opened its mouth, and bit the other man's arm. But at this moment, the figure that was already covered in black smoke and fire all over his body reached out again, trying to hold the neck of the hellhound——— but he had not had time to complete his movements. Rhodes had already resurfaced in front of the other party like a ghost, and then, the long sword in his hand flashed red.

The bright red light shot straight ahead, piercing the body of the Hellhound in the blink of an eye, but just as it was about to stab the Death Knight, the vulture reached out and blocked the threatening sword——— and then he felt a wave of white light and explosion sweeping towards him.

"Boom !!"

The deafening sound of the explosion echoed throughout the valley, and even the rubble above the surrounding valley was falling down. Rhodes also completely lost his previous demeanor at this moment, and he crawled backwards to avoid the violent storm and scorching airwaves, and rolled until he rolled to the side of the carriage, and Rod stopped. At this time, Rod had completely lost his strength, and the legion's horn was the most wasteful move, so for Rhodes, it really didn't have to be when he made a move, he would never want to use this move. And now. He had already exhausted the last trace of his strength, and all he could do was wait for the next result.

The pillar of fire rose into the sky, and even the clouds on the horizon were dyed with a red halo, and as if they were reflecting each other with this dazzling cursor, a trace of fish belly white finally appeared in the sky.

It's dawn.

Until a long time later. The flames of the explosion disappeared completely, and only then did Rod finally stand up, gasping for breath, and at the same time reaching out to pat the dust and dirt off his body, and then Rod raised his head and looked at the vulture not far away. I saw that under the light of dawn, on the burned black scorched earth, the Death Knight was still standing in place, and he maintained the movement of holding the blood cry at the end of the day. But he stiffened and did not move. And when the first rays of light of the morning shone on him, the Death Knight flickered, and then, like a cloud of dust, his whole body drifted away with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, there was nothing left.

"Hoo ............"

It was only at this time that Rod let out a sigh and sat down on the ground again. Now he only has the last trump card left in his hand - self-breakthrough. If the vulture is not dead, then Rod will fight his body to hit him——— for Rod anyway. After releasing the Legion Horn, he has been completely hollowed out, and it is not difficult to be killed in an instant at this time. But because of this, it just increases the trigger probability of self-breakthrough, and if the self-breakthrough is really successful in this case, then there will be no problem in counterkilling the opponent.

Of course, such a lore combination only exists in theory, what is the actual situation, Rhodes is not willing to experiment with his body, and the sequelae of self-breakthrough are much bigger than the legion horn, the legion horn is at most a physical prostration, and it will be relieved after a day or two of rest. But after the self-breakthrough, maybe it's not strange to lie in bed for ten days and half a month——— what's even worse is that this time Rod only brought T and output, but he didn't bring treatment, if he really has three long and two short, no one can count on him except for the few bottles of healing potions in his hand.

Although the vulture was dead at this moment, but thinking of this battle, Rod still couldn't help but chill all over his body, this was almost the most dangerous battle since he came to this world. In fact, even in the game, the most troublesome for players are the undead——— especially the high-level undead, which are simply terrible goods.

To some extent, the undead are very similar to players, and the reason why players like Rhodes are able to accumulate rich combat experience and have a wide range of knowledge and skilled combat skills is because they are players, but they are resurrected after death, and they can't fight twice at a time, and they can't fight four times at a time. And the player's experience of combat is accumulated in this cycle of fighting, dying, resurrecting, fighting, dying, and resurrecting. This can be said to be a real blood lesson, and you can't forget it if you want to.

It's the same with the undead, the low-level undead are okay, but the high-level undead, such as the Lich or the Vampire, can even be resurrected after death like the player. Of course, their resurrection after death is not as in-situ as the player's full health, which is naturally not the same, but in terms of combat experience, they are not much worse than the player.

What's worse is that there are two places where the undead are more terrifying than the player, they are harder to kill than the player, and most of them don't have negative feelings such as fear——— which is something that even the player can't do, but these high-level undead creatures are cold and cold like a sharp blade, and they don't care about anything except harvesting life.

And after this battle, Rhodes also has a new understanding of the high-level undead creatures in this world, the vulture can be said to be the highest level of death knight he has faced so far, although they are also death knights, but the deserter in the silent highlands is just a scum with only five combat power compared to the vulture in front of him. But. This is not the most troublesome part, what worries Rhodes the most is the characteristics of the undead that he has experienced in this battle.

After traveling to this world, Rhodes discovered a lot of differences between reality and the game, in the case of Lawson, in the game, he has hundreds of thousands of HP. Ordinary players can't beat him when they team up. But in reality, he is just a living person, and he is still dead after being pierced through the heart and having his head cut off. And there is no need to be like in the game, even if you insert dozens of swords in the heart of the old man, as long as his blood volume is not in the end, he will not die, such an unscientific thing. It can't happen in reality.

However, the higher undead such as the vulture are quite close to the "health" characteristic of the game, the undead have souls, but their souls are not in their chests and heads, especially those higher creatures, most of them have some secret and sturdy containers to protect their soul sources. And in the face of such an enemy, it can only constantly consume its soul power. Until its body no longer has the strength to continue to support it, then the undead creature will completely fall to the ground and die——— just like a boss with a bottomed out HP.

In the game, it is not without such a contrast of strength, just like the battle between the Night Dragon and the Dragon Kingdom of Light, although the low-level undead soldiers do not have great strength and intelligence, but they have ruthless killing, machine-like discipline and overwhelming skeleton tide crowd tactics, they are not afraid of death, they are also better recruited than ordinary soldiers——— these undead soldiers do not even need to be trained and cultivated. Pick up a weapon and you're ready to fight. And what they are facing. It's going to die, it's emotional. Fearful, and very fragile humans.

As for those high-level undead creatures, not only have they experienced longer years than those living powerhouses in the Anthropocene Realm, but they also have more combat experience, more cunning wisdom, and incomparably stronger strength. Although there is no shortage of strong among these human beings, at this point, they can never compare to the undead, and that is recovery. If two powerhouses of the same level cut off each other's heads at the same moment, then for the undead, it may just be a "serious injury" that needs to be spent on recuperation, but for the human powerhouse, it is a proper death.

This is why only Lydia can resist the army of death, as an archangel, she gives full play to the characteristics that as long as there is a sun, then she will not perish, which is worthy of resisting the army of the Night Dragon, otherwise, even if she is as strong as Lydia, it is impossible to support it.

Originally, Rhodes thought that if the game was different from reality, then the undead might be easier to deal with, but now after this battle, he finally found that according to the reality level, the living people are indeed much easier to deal with for him, and the difficulty has almost dropped from ordinary to novice level, but those dead people have already slipped through the difficulties and are heading towards the nightmare level......... This isn't an ordinary book at all.,This is a hero team book at all.。

Does this mean that the armies of the Night Dragon Nation will be more difficult to resist than in the game?

For Rod, that's the trickiest question.

However, since this thorny problem was not placed in front of Rod's eyes, and he was not asked to solve it now, so Rod simply left it behind, and then, he stood up with difficulty and walked to the vulture's corpse dust, at this time, the death knight who was still extremely brave just now was long gone, and only the pale white corpse dust remaining on the ground was still the last memorial of him in this world.

In addition to the damage caused by the self-explosion of the Hellhound, there are also many chaotic disasters caused by the madness of Seven Love and Anne's rampage............

And in this mess, the loot that Rhodes can find is also limited.

The explosion of Hellhound in that moment was as powerful as a medium-range missile, and even a master-level death knight like Vulture was eventually wiped out by the explosion of Hellhound, which shows that there is only a limit to what he can leave behind. After rummaging through the "ashes" of the Death Knight for a while, Rhodes finally found only two or three kittens, and none of them were good——— a ruby ring, which had been blown up, and maybe it could be used for repairs, but for Rhodes, its only value was to sell it to a merchant for a few gold coins to sell for dinner. The pale blue moonshine was even more unlucky, perhaps because it bore the brunt of the explosion. It was actually broken into two directly from the middle, and a rare weapon was turned into broken copper and iron, and the value was not as high as the ruby ring just now.

The only harvest that can make Rhodes look at it is probably only the vulture's "soul core" and "soul calling flute", as a high-level undead creature driven by soul power, the quality of his soul core is still quite good, so Rod still put it away first. As for the Soul Summoner, it is a magic item used to drive the Bone Griffon. It was also because it was inconspicuous enough to survive the explosion, and through this magic item, Rhodes could summon a white-boned griffin to protect himself, but under the skies of the Land of Light, doing so was simply naked death. But it's not all for nothing. At least on the edge of the distorted order of the Land of Atonement, under the cover of night, it would be a good idea to use the Bone Griffin to scout the surroundings.

The premise is not to be discovered.

But that's all there was to Rod's gains.

He was not particularly angry or satisfied with this result. After all, this battle is desperate at the moment, unlike in the game where you can start again if you fail, at least you are alive and the other party is dead. That's enough, as for the equipment——— I have to work hard. If you lose my life, let it go.

With this in mind, Rhodes packed up his booty, then turned around and walked back to the carriage, it was now impossible for them to continue on their way, the poor and unfortunate old coachman had hung up, and the remaining horses had been killed by the undead army at the beginning, plus the carriage that had been forcibly suppressed by the Seven Lovers in order to resist the impact. At this time, it was already skewed and damaged. It looks like there's no way to get on the road. The next two options were to take the salute from the carriage and move on. Walking to the City of the Eagle, but this is not an easy task, with the distance they are now to the City of the Eagle, it will take half a day to a day to take the carriage, if they walk, I am afraid it will be impossible for two or three days. And it was at such a time that such a problem was encountered, which was indeed a helpless thing for Rod.

Another way is to "hitchhike", after all, this is a trade route, and there will be caravans passing by from time to time, so if you explain the situation, it is not difficult to hitchhiking. But Rhodes didn't want another incident, there was enough trouble on his side, he didn't want to get involved in anything else, he had enough of these damn things.

In the end, Rhodes decided to go on foot, his plan was to go to the nearby village in front of him, see what was going on, rent a carriage if he had one, ride a horse if he didn't have one——— at least don't let himself really walk to the City of the Eagle on two legs. Of course, Rhodes also knew that such a thing had happened, and it was impossible not to reach the ears of those local garrisons, but he also had no intention of having a relationship with these unspeakable local garrison officers, as long as he reached the City of Eagles, then everything would be resolved.

But until then...............

"Miss Rand."

Rod walked to the side of Natasha and Grandi, who had finally settled down, and then, he looked at the girl in front of him with a serious face, at this time, the eldest lady was still pale, and it seemed that she had not completely calmed down from the previous battle, but seeing Rod talking to herself, Natasha still nodded quickly and instinctively. But Rod's next sentence immediately made the girl's complexion change greatly.

"Originally, I didn't want to be nosy, but now, now that I've been swept up, I think I have the right to know what I'm fighting for."

Hearing this, Natasha's face changed greatly, and in the face of Rod's cold gaze, the girl took two steps back uneasily, but soon she leaned against the door of the carriage and could no longer retreat. And until this time, Anne and Seven Love also came over in time.

"Yes, yes, Anne had a fight with these guys for some reason, and I still don't know what the road is for."

"I feel the same way, master, in any case, we have lost our carriage, our poor old coachman, and our time, and I think it is necessary for us to confirm whether what we have protected is worth all our energy and sacrifice."

Hearing these words, Grundy and Natasha's faces became a little ugly, but I have to admit that what Rhodes said is also true, otherwise, I would have fought with the undead here for no reason, at least there must be an explanation. Even if the contradictions between the living and the dead are irreconcilable, Rhodes is not a brainwashed citizen of the Land of Light, and it is so barbaric to shout and kill undead creatures when they see them. After tossing all night now, he almost put himself on the hook——— and to say that Rhodes was not curious was also false, to be able to force the vulture to lead an elite army to come in person, this would definitely not be an ordinary thing.

At this moment, looking at Rod's eyes, Natasha glanced at Grundy with some uneasiness, the latter nodded helplessly, and after seeing her companion nodding, Natasha sighed, and then, she handed over a wooden box that was held in her arms.

Rod curiously took the wooden box, and then opened it with his backhand.

And after seeing the contents clearly, his face suddenly changed.
