Chapter 39: The Dead

It was a war hidden in the dark, dark, silent, and fierce.

From the outside, the cold old house seems to be indistinguishable, but only the occasional flash of light through the window shows that it is not as calm as imagined from the outside.

The star struck a twinkle.

The white blade whizzed first, and the whistling sword wind swept the already tattered debris and flew forward, and the bright red flames followed, becoming more and more fierce with the help of the wind. The evil spirits that emerged from the walls and floors were completely devoured before they could even attack, and there was not a single piece of scum left except for the charred burn marks.

The cooperation between Rod and the Flame Slayer is becoming more and more tacit, and this mission is not only used to train Lijie's abilities, but also for Rhodes to hone in the cooperation between himself and the summon. After all, the summoning cards are ever-changing, and now the three cards in Rhodes' hand belong to items that he has never owned in the game, although there are similar additions, but after all, there is still a gap in the characteristics of the two sides, and it is necessary to seize the time to run in and adjust. The previous match against Serek was a good example, and the final result was barely a tie between the two sides, if it weren't for the fact that Rhodes was not very familiar with the skills of the Flame Slayer at that time, and could only rely on inherent experience to command, maybe he would still have the upper hand in the situation.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs, and it's not too late to make amends.

Rhodes retracted with his sword, and the demons that sensed the opportunity swarmed up, but soon the black hounds stood in their way, sharp claws and flames filling the gaps left by Rhodes' retreat.

One advance and one retreat, just right.

Once again, the flames swept through, enveloping the evil spirits, the lowest of which were not even more powerful than the ghosts in the misty ruins, but the stakes were just right for the practice of battle.

Leaning close to Rod, Li Jie's face was also serious, her right hand kept waving, and pillars of light fell from the sky, like a hammer hitting the bodies of the evil spirits. I have to say that the little spirit master's learning ability is indeed very strong, this is less than an hour, she has been able to master it proficiently, and began to learn to try to adjust the strength and speed of the force.

However, Rod knows that this is only an emergency method, although there is no distinction between good and evil, but it also needs to be qualitative. It's like a stone, when it has the title of "stone", it has the meaning of an object that exists in this world. The same is true of magic spells, which have been handed down not only by mystical knowledge, but also by the definition and exploration of mystery itself. Water is water, ice is ice, but if you think of water as ice, or ice as water, then the result is naturally not much better.

Lijie was at such a stage now, and she didn't have the opportunity to learn attack divine spells such as the Sword of Judgment before she reached level 10, but that didn't mean that her abilities would be wasted. The bloodline of the angel can compensate for the weakening of the strength caused by the "qualitative ambiguity", and in the long run, it is also a good choice to let Lijie adapt to the rhythm of the attack as soon as possible.

"Keep your attention, pay attention to the rhythm, the speed of the evil spirits is not fast, but you have to watch your own safety. Among the undead monsters, there are many guys who are good at long-range attacks, such as ......... Left! ”

Rod grabbed Lijie by the collar and pulled her away, and at the same time, a turquoise arrow of light slid across the girl's body and stuck on the wall next to her. Looking up, I saw several skeletons standing in the depths of the dark corridor, holding rusty iron bows and arrows, coldly aiming at the prey in front of them. The black hole that has long since lost its eyes shines with the light of the soul.

Sure enough, it came.

Rhodes clenched his long sword, it was impossible for the words of the evil spirit to let this broken house be left unattended for so many years, there was no shortage of strong people in Deep Stone City, even if the shining swordsman came alone, it was a single brush. But this house is not that simple......... And now, it's really the beginning of the trouble.

"Lijie, Shield!"

Rod said, raising his sword and pointing forward with his left hand, and after receiving Rod's command, the Flame Slayer immediately rushed forward, passed through the evil spirits, and rushed straight towards the skeleton archer behind him.

"Woohoo!!" …,

The cyan arrows were shot again, but with the shield unfurled, the only thing they could do was to fly diagonally away against the golden barrier, but they couldn't pose much of a threat.

Rod's sword deflected, dispelling all the evil spirits around him, and then he grabbed Lijie's hand.

"Follow me and take care of yourself."

After saying this, Rod didn't wait for Lijie to answer, and led her out of the encirclement of evil spirits and ran towards the staircase on the left.

After another rain of arrows, the black hound had already arrived at the skeleton archer's side, its firelight standing out from afar in the dark corridor.

As a ranged attack class, the Skeleton Archers were not too dangerous in close proximity, and before they could get ready, they were pounced on by the black hound's claws, and then quickly scattered and no longer threatened. And those who barely retreated had not had time to attack again before they had already encountered a second wave of attacks.

Third floor.

As Rhodes walked up the stairs, he could hear the barking of dogs and the roar of fire faintly behind him. He knew that the Flame Killer wouldn't be able to support it for long, and he sensed that the "thing" he invaded would become even crazier when danger approached, but it didn't matter, anyway, the summoned elves were dead and alive, as long as his soul power was enough, there would be no problem.

"First of all, sir, you don't want to burn this place, do you?"

However, Lijie took time out of her busy schedule to turn around, looked at the flames and black smoke that were slowly burning in the corridor under her feet, and asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, I won't tear this place down, it's our stronghold after all............"

Saying this, Rod retracted his voice violently, and then raised his long sword.

"Whew!!"

The frantic sword wind whistled by, and a thick two-handed sword slashed horizontally, slashing heavily at Rod's sword, slamming his thin body into the wall on the side, although the already rotten wall had already removed the impact, but still let Rod sink deeply.

"Attack!"

As soon as Rhodes's words fell, Lijie, who was hiding beside him, immediately stretched out his hand, and soon, a white pillar of light fell from the sky and smashed on the head of this undead monster that suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs and blocked them. However, compared to the previous evil spirits, this undead monster was obviously not easy to deal with, and it only took a few steps back when it was attacked by Lijie, but it was not able to disappear like those guys before. But there was a shocking hole in the shrunken, corrupt skull.

And it was only then that the crowd saw the enemy in front of them clearly.

It was a strong man who was nearly two meters tall, and at this moment he had no flesh on his body, his gray skin was wrapped in thick bone armor, and he was wearing armor that was no longer distinguishable, and he was holding a giant sword. Lijie's sudden attack made it unhelp but relax its hands, and roared backwards, after all, no matter what, the divine power was not something that could be resisted by the undead who forcibly reversed life and death.

"It's ............"

"It's a carrion......... I'll go up first, pay attention to the sides. ”

With a powerful swing, Rhodes swung away the greatsword, and then his body moved slightly, jumping like a cat on the handrail by the stairs and then leaping violently, the longsword in his hand flipped and stabbed straight into the chest of the giant in front of him.

Just as Rhodes was about to deliver the last blow to the enemy in front of him, a long sword suddenly appeared from the side and slashed down. It turned out that there was someone lurking quietly around the corner of the wall, and it wasn't until Rhodes appeared that he launched a surprise attack, trying to launch a sneak attack from the side. At the same time, the undead in front of Rhodes also roared angrily and spread his hands and pounced towards Rhodes. This kind of trick of killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred losses is absolutely impossible for humans, but for the dead, there is no need to worry.

In the face of the dead who rushed towards him, Rhodes's face sank like water, his right hand flipped over, and then, on the sword body that emitted a little stardust, ripples like flowing water suddenly appeared.

Blade Technique, activated.

At the same time that the deceased's outstretched hand grabbed Rhodes's shoulder, the long sword in his hand had already split the opponent's left shoulder without hindrance, and the already sharp blade was even more indomitable under the influence of the blade technique, neither those rough dry skin nor hard bones could stop its trajectory, only to see a flash of white light, the left half of the body of the tall mercenary undead was easily cut off like paper, and the arm that lost support fell to the ground, and there was no way to pose any threat. …,

And at this moment, the long sword on the other side also arrived at Rod's side.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Lijie's nervous heart was about to jump out, and in fact, when the guy hiding in the corner attacked Rod, the girl who followed Rod's saw his presence, but before she could be reminded, the blade had already come to Rod's ears, and with just two more seconds, this tattered long sword could cut off Rod's head.

And at this moment, Rod made an unexpected move.

After splitting the body of the enemy in front of him, he did not choose to retreat, on the contrary, at that moment, the side of Rod's body, as if losing his center of gravity, crashed sideways into the opponent's arms, and the long sword that was supposed to cut off Rod's head also lost its purpose and slashed into the air.

The stench of the corpse made Rod stagnate, but soon he came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and slammed the big guy in front of him to the side with his shoulder, and then the long sword in his hand kept and threw it forward.

Yuehua's blade of light swept through the air, bringing with it the sound of whistling wind.

The bodies of the dead paused.

They stopped moving, stood still, and then, with pitch-black lines, spread out from the shriveled corpse, the pieces that could no longer maintain their form finally fell apart.

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

Standing up from the pile of corpses, Rod patted the dust and grease on his shoulder, and at the same time waved his hand to fan away the corpse stench around the tip of his nose——— he didn't simulate the smell so thoughtfully in the game, and now that he was there, Rod finally understood that the introduction of "rotting corpses have a strong stench" in the information was indeed worthy of its name......... It seems that when I go back, I have to throw away my clothes.

"Let's move on."
