Chapter 539: Escape
What the hell are these monsters!!
Seeing these strange earth elemental creatures in front of them, all of them were shocked in their hearts, but before they could react, they saw that those earth elemental creatures had already rushed towards them. Although these monsters looked bloated, they were very fast on the ground, and almost in the blink of an eye, they had already pounced in front of the crowd, and rushed towards their prey with that unpleasant hiss.
In the face of the attack of these monsters, the private soldiers who were originally responsible for protecting Edward and others were naturally terrified, and they swung their long swords vigorously to try to force these monsters to leave. But the sharp blade did not leave even the slightest wound on the thick skin of these monsters, and there was not even the slightest trace on the rock-hard skin, but because of this reaction force, the private soldiers suddenly became scrambling.
"Don't come, don't come!!"
A private soldier shouted and waved his long sword, slashing at the body of the insect-like earth elemental creature in front of him, accompanied by the sound of "bells", the huge reaction force forced him to retreat. And just after the unlucky soldier lost his balance and fell to the ground, I saw that the monster suddenly raised his upper body, and then pressed on the other party. The mouthparts formed by the sharp rock quickly open and then stab down hard.
"Wow o o o o o o a
The sharp mouthparts tore through the armor of the soldier without hindrance, turning out the flesh and bones, and with a terrible scream, the poor creature trembled, rolled its eyes and opened its mouth, his hands waving helplessly in the air, instinctively wanting to escape from death. But soon, with the sharp teeth piercing deep into his body, his body was split in two, and the pitiful scream suddenly stopped, and there was no more sound.
"The Holy Soul is above! ........."
Looking at this scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but turn pale, especially when they saw that private soldier being disemboweled by the other party, and blood rushed up. They only felt their knees go limp, and there was no way to take another half step forward. Not only them, but even the other private soldiers were also attacked by those monsters at this moment, and for a moment, the entire mine was filled with the smell of blood, the smell of gagging, and the creepy screams.
"Quick, run!!"
Seeing this scene, the foreman, who had just sworn to Rod that there was nothing serious, immediately turned around and ran towards the outside of the mine in a panic. But he had only run two steps before a sharp thorn fell from the ground and pierced his skull. Immediately afterwards, I saw that at the top of the originally empty mine, a monster with a bloody mouth fell from it, and completely swallowed the prey in front of it in one gulp.
"Sai, Miss Syren, what are we going to do?"
Seeing this scene in front of her, Emily, who was hiding behind Rod, couldn't help but tremble and asked, her right hand grabbed the hem of Rod's clothes, and when Rod spoke, he could even hear Emily's upper and lower teeth chattering. It can be seen that she is very scared——— but it is no wonder that Bi Jing Edward and Emily are just ordinary merchants, they can't have experienced countless killings like Rhodes, and I'm afraid that just watching a death is enough to make them scream. And seeing how the corpse was refined so closely in front of me was a big enough blow for any ordinary person. But at least Emily was very brave, and although she was scared, she still stood there. On the other hand, her father, President Edward, was already a puddle of soft mud at the moment, and he couldn't even move half of it.
"Anyway, we have to get out of here first."
As he spoke, Rhodes swung his long sword to meet him, and when he saw his movements, he saw that the earth elemental creature that had completely devoured the foreman's corpse just now also screamed and turned around and pounced on him. However, in the face of the opponent's ferocious attack, Rod was able to show ease, just when the monster's sharp claws were about to tear his body, Rod suddenly turned sideways, and dodged the opponent's attack with an elegant and strange indescribable posture, and then the long sword in his hand backhanded forward, as if it was like cutting an oil cake, easily splitting the monster's body in two. And the monster that suffered this fatal blow did not roar and scream and make a dying struggle, but directly "banged" and turned into dust and dissipated into the air.
It's about 10 to 15 levels, and the difficulty is not right!
With this blow, Rod also had an intuitive understanding of his current opponent, which also made him frown. Obviously, the level of these earth elemental creatures is not very high, although because of their white spoon earth element characteristics, these monsters have the upper hand in the face of general entry, but in fact, their white spoon combat power is not very strong. But this is completely contrary to Rod's memory! According to the experience in the game, after the earth element jīng spirit is fully awakened, the average level of these "little monsters" should be between level 35 and 40! But now, they only have half the strength......... The earth elemental jīng spirit certainly did not fully awaken, but it definitely did not continue to sleep in the seal.
What happened to the competition?
It was clearly not the time to think about it, so Rhodes quickly restrained his thoughts, and then he glanced at Celia, who immediately came to Edward's side and helped him up. Half-talked, half-pulled, brought the head of the chamber to Rhodes and Emily's side.
"President Edward, now that we're going to get out of here as soon as possible, I hope you can follow in our white spoon footsteps and don't leave no matter what happens, understand?"
"Oh, oh, what a good thing, Miss Sylen."
At this moment, Edward was completely panicked, looking at his appearance of six gods without masters, I am afraid that no matter what Rhodes said at this time, the president of the Chamber of Commerce would agree. But now Rhodes was not in the mood to make a joke about him, he just glanced at President Edward, whose face was pale, and then immediately turned his head away. At this moment, all his attention was on the monsters that appeared from the shadow of yīn, and because of this, he didn't notice the smile that flashed in Rod's eyes.
"Let's go!!"
"Hiss————!!"
Just as Rhodes and the others fled in the direction of the entrance of the mine, the other two earth elemental creatures that had been blocking them also reacted immediately. They arched their bodies high, their mouthparts formed by sharp rocks opening and closing in front of them, and soon they leaped forward and pounced on Rhodes. But in the face of the attack of these two monsters, Rhodes only flickered, and the standard long sword in his hand swung forward again, and the shining soul light cut through the dark and dim mine road in an instant, and countless straight lines of light weaved into a large net and pressed forward, roaring and completely tearing the two earth elemental creatures into pieces.
"It's amazing..............."
Emily's eyes widened in surprise, staring blankly at the scene in front of her, and at the moment when Rhodes made a move, she only felt as if countless stars were shining in front of her, full of an unprecedented dangerous beauty. At this moment, the red-haired woman even forgot the threat behind her for a moment, she just held Miss Sylen's left hand, and instinctively followed his footsteps with all her might. Behind her, Edward stumbled after Celia's side, the latter brandished his long sword, and drove away the monsters that tried to rush forward to surround him again and again, and in front of Celia, these earth elemental creatures were also rare to be a little sluggish——— as the highest condensation of the light element, Celia itself also has the power of pure light element, and even in a sense, there is no difference between the light element that makes up Celia and the earth element that makes up these monsters except for the difference in composition. Because of this, although these elemental creatures that rely on instinct to attack can kill "impure" classified lifeforms. But they were somewhat overwhelmed by the same condensation of pure elements as they were, and whose class was much higher.
Due to Celia's deterrence, the pursuit of the earth elemental monsters behind was not as tight as before, and Zhongjin also seized the opportunity at this moment, rushed out of the gap created by Rhodes, and fled in the direction of the exit. There was not half of the shadow in sight along the way, and there were discarded and scattered tools everywhere, and it could be seen from these disorganized traces that the miners had obviously heard the wind coming from inside, and had already fled.
The dark, deep tunnels of the mine could not be seen at a glance, even in the dim light of the fire, and without the guide, Emily felt as if she was completely trapped in such an underground labyrinth, she was dazed and frightened, and Emily had no other way but to follow the strange and familiar figure in front of her. She supported her breathless father, gritted her teeth and followed behind "Miss Sylen". Emily didn't even dare to be sure if they had chosen the right path, and they had no guidance other than the slope of the sloping ground that told the crowd unmistakably that they were heading towards the Ridge.
"Haoa............ Ha o a ..............."
The sound of rapid breathing echoed through the tunnel, and Emily could clearly hear the "hissing" sound coming from not far behind her, and she wanted to turn back more than once to see what was going on. But Emily endured the conflict, biting her lower lip and looking up at the front. She was afraid that when she turned around, all she saw was that those monsters had already pounced in front of her, and even the next moment, she would be disemboweled, like the soldiers before, and die a miserable and painful death......... Emily felt fear in her mind whenever such a scene came to mind, and she felt as if the darkness around her was pressing against them as if it were a living thing, like a huge, strange and terrifying monster that was about to swallow them up completely............... Because of this, when Emily followed "Miss Syren" around the mine tunnel again, and saw the dazzling light of the sun emerging from the exit not far in front of her, she sighed and praised the beauty of this world from the bottom of her heart for the first time.
"Quick, it's coming soon!"
Rhodes turned his head and looked at Emily not far behind him, the red-haired woman had almost no strength now, she just supported her father hard, and the two of them stumbled forward. Not far behind them, Celia wielded her sword, as silent and determined as ever to disperse the undead earth elemental creatures.
“……………………!!”
At this moment, suddenly, a low roar sounded, and then Rhodes felt the ground begin to shake slightly, and small pieces of rubble fell from the top of the mine with dust. This also made him listen to the footsteps, and a sudden sense of foreboding jumped out of Rod's heart.
Earthquake? No, it's ............!!
Before Rod could think about it, he saw a whistling wind erupt in front of him, and then the dust that had spread to the ground suddenly gushed out as if it had been shattered by something, and then, a fist as big as half a foot appeared in front of Rode. In the face of this sudden attack, Rhodes had no time to dodge, instead, he snorted coldly, and then quickly crossed the long sword to block in front of him.
"Boom!!"
The huge stone fist slammed into the long sword in Rod's hand, and a strong air current erupted from it, whistling and rushing to both sides. The dull crashing sound made Emily panic and open her mouth to vomit. President Edward, on the other hand, collapsed to the ground and passed out. Rod's body shook slightly, and his face did not change at all. But cracks appeared on the body of the standard long sword in his hand, they erupted from the hilt part, and then quickly spread to the entire sword body, and then, the whole long sword was completely shattered with a "click" sound, turning into a pile of scrap iron.
Although Rod paid a heavy price, the other party was not unharmed, and the huge stone fist slid backwards several meters due to the strong reaction force after hitting Rode's long sword before stopping. And at this moment, the dust cleared, and the obstacle that stood in front of Rhodes and the others also revealed its true nature.
It was a huge in-shape object that was more than three meters tall, and it looked like a giant in, with a large and muscular body blocking the exit of the entire mine. Its legs are short, but its two arms made of solid rock are very long, and it suddenly looks like a gorilla made of stone.
Stone Giant.
Rod threw away the hilt of his sword and stared at the other party in silence. It is only now that a relatively threatening existence has finally appeared on the other side. Stone Jujin is a tricky problem among earth elemental creatures, its speed is very slow, but its strength is very strong, and in the environment in front of it, Stone Jujin also has the ability to repair itself and strengthen defenses. Against such a monster, ordinary warriors have no chance of winning at all.
But Rhodes wasn't any ordinary fighter.
"So, what is that? Miss Syren? ”
"I can't say that either, Miss Emily."
Without looking back, Rod answered Emily's question behind him, placing his right hand in the hem of his skirt and holding the dagger hidden there. Although the appearance of Shi Jujin was a little sudden for Rod, it did not make him feel very troublesome and tricky, Bi Jing was in the game, and Rod had encountered more cheating things than this. Compared with those troubles, this kind of setting of suddenly encountering a boss or something in the last level of escaping from life and death is just a small setback at the level of commonplace.
"I'll try to get its attention, Miss Emily, and please take this opportunity to take President Edward away as soon as possible."
"But, what about you, Miss Caren?"
"You don't have to worry about me, Miss Emily, as soon as you leave, then I'll leave here at once. Without you by my side, it wouldn't be difficult for me to deal with this monster, I think, you know what I mean. ”
“……………”
This time, Emily didn't answer immediately, but after a moment of silence, Rod heard her voice.
"I see, Miss Syren, don't worry, I'll try."
"Very well, Miss Emily, and please don't forget the story I told that night."
With that, Rod smiled at Emily, then he turned around, narrowed his eyes at the stone giant in front of him, and then, Rod raised his right hand.
Madaras answered.
“——————!!”
Shi Jujin didn't know what Rhodes was doing, but it instinctively sensed the threat from the weapon in Rhodes' hands——— as a pure elemental creature, it would be extremely sensitive to any magical trait. Not to mention that Madaras also has a fifteen percent magic immunity, which is as sensitive as an enemy to Shi Jujin. So it didn't hesitate, roared in anger and took a half-step forward, then clenched its left hand into a fist and swung it towards Rod.
"Whew!!"
When Shi Jujin swung out his fist, Rod also took half a step forward, facing the huge fist that roared and could almost easily beat himself into meat sauce, but the expression on Rode's face did not change in the slightest, his body twisted, and the short sword in his right hand stabbed forward without stopping. The brilliance of the soul shone on the dagger like a dazzling meteor. And in the next moment, the Madarath that shone with the brilliance of the soul collided heavily with the fist of the stone giant.
"Knock !!"
The loud bang was like a giant hammer slamming into the chest, making it uncomfortable. But that's just the beginning. At the moment when the two sides made contact, the short sword in Rod's hand suddenly retreated, and in the blink of an eye, the starlight roared, and a short sword turned into countless lines of light in the blink of an eye, swallowing Shi Jujin's left hand. The wind howled through the tunnel, and the force exploded so much that even the tunnel itself was shaken.
This blow Rhodes did not use any skills, it was purely a direct collision of master-level soul power, and no matter how strong Shi Jujin was, it was impossible to resist such a force. Not to mention that Rod's bloodline is not classified, and the amount of force is xìng point higher than that of the classified race. Under this collision, I saw Shi Jujin's left arm collapse violently, and its original entry couldn't help but take a few steps back under this huge impact, revealing a trace of gap.
"It's now, Miss Emily!!"
Hearing Rod's voice, Emily didn't hesitate, she grabbed her father's arm and ran forward with all her might, running towards the gap. And President Edward also gritted his teeth and followed behind Emily, although he was already panting at the moment, but the desire to survive still made this merchant try to open his legs, which were almost heavy and unable to walk, trying to escape.
Stone Jujin didn't pay any attention to Emily and Edward, and at the moment its whole body was on Rod's body, and for an elemental creature without senses, the loss of an arm was nothing. It quickly raised its right hand again and slammed it towards Rod. However, this time Rod did not choose to fight hard, instead, he rolled to the side, dodged the opponent's attack, and then made a gesture to Celia, signaling the follower Emily to wait and leave. Celia was a little surprised by Rod's order, but she didn't say anything, but quickly put away her sword, followed Edward and Emily as Rod's order, and galloped towards the exit.
And at this time, Shi Jujin's fist slammed down again.
That's pretty much the time.
Glancing at the positions of Emily, Edward and Celia, Rhodes raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he rolled on the ground, dodging Shi Jujin's attack again, and then his figure flashed, and the next moment, Rod appeared in front of Shi Jujin's body, and the Madaras in his hand burst out with unparalleled spiritual brilliance, deeply piercing Shi Jujin's body.
“——————!!”
With a deafening roar, Shi Jujin opened his mouth, and a dull roar echoed in the tunnel, and then, its eyes suddenly burst into a shining light that had never been seen before, and with this transformation of Shi Jujin, the mine suddenly trembled violently, and then, huge stones fell from the top of the mine tunnel, like a storm, flying in the direction where Shi Jujin was.
"Woooooo
Emily, who had already rushed past the stone giant at this moment, did not encounter this terrible attack, but President Edward, who was following her, was unable to dodge, and was hit hard by the rubble, only to see him scream, and just like a rolling gourd, he rolled down the tunnel like a rolling gourd.
"Father's big entry!!"
"Mr. Edward!"
Seeing this scene in front of her, Emily immediately screamed, and Celia hurriedly reached out and tried to grab the other party. But at this moment, Rod's gaze swept over, and with his movement, Celia's movements paused imperceptibly, her fingers were almost on the verge of catching Edward's desperately outstretched arm, but because of this imperceptible pause, in the end, she missed the other party. They could only watch as Edward screamed and tumbled down the tunnel, falling into the earth elemental creatures that had been eyeing them all along.
And his end was also doomed at this time.
