Chapter 41: Lore

"Ahβ€”β€”β€”!!!h

With a scream as if hundreds of people were screaming at the same time, the originally pure white ground began to split and shake, and it was only at this time that Li Jie was surprised to find that the white that covered the entire room was not a stone slab, but a piece of white bone! They were tightly knit and covered the ground without the slightest gap, and at first glance one would think that this was just an ordinary stone slab. Thinking of this, Li Jie couldn't help but feel a chill in her back, she could imagine what kind of ending would be waiting for her if she walked into the room without the slightest defense. Looking at the wriggling sea of bones in front of her, Li Jie couldn't help but glance at Rhodes beside her in surprise, how did he know what to do?

Sensing the girl's surprised gaze, but Rod didn't explain much, he couldn't say that he knew the Tao because he had died here once......

And now is not the time to think about it.

"Lijie, prepare to attack, do your best."

The white sea of bones had receded, revealing the pitch-black and dirty stone floor below, and the atmosphere of the entire room had changed dramatically, and the originally dream-like beautiful scene had finally torn off its veil and revealed its hideous face. And the only thing that makes people feel incongruous is the stone statue, even under the wrapping of countless white bones, it is still so beautiful, holy as if out of the mud and unstained.

However, Rhodes did not have time to appreciate this beautiful scourge at the moment, and after giving the order to Lijie, he rushed into the room, and at the same time, the bright red card appeared from Rhodes's hand again, turning into a red lotus fire around him.

β€œβ€”β€”β€”οΌοΌοΌβ€

Dozens of arms connected by white bones grabbed Rhodes, but they were burned by the flames and retreated before they could reach Rhodes' sideβ€”β€”β€” although summoning elves did not actually die, but the pain of being torn apart before did not prevent the Flame Slayer from showing his anger with teeth and claws.

But it's a pity that this time the black hound still didn't have time to do anything, so he was sent by Rhodes again. Although the attack of the White Bone Sea is not a big threat, it is better in large numbers, and at the moment, Rhodes does not have a wide range of attack spells in his hands, and Lijie's positive energy can only barely bring a little damage to the other party. While it's a good idea to play steady, the amount of time and effort expended will increase exponentially.

So Rod decisively decided to emulate the death squad tactics and directly throw the Flame Killer as a live bomb.

The poor black hound, though unwilling, could only run forward, and once again Rod helped it to block the arms from all sides, not out of kindness, but simply to go deeper.

Sure enough, the large number of white bone arms quickly put Rhodes on the defensive, and in the face of those claws that tried to grab him, Rhodes very decisively pulled back and threw his summoning elves directly in front. And those things that had no brains seemed to notice anything wrong at all, and soon, dozens of arms flew out of the sea of bones, grabbed the black hound, and then dragged it in.

"Boom !!"

Soon, a violent explosion sounded again, and the sea of bones trembled suddenly, and hundreds of fragments flew out of it, flying like a rain of flowers in the sky, and falling to the ground like snowflakes.

Rhodes' palm flipped, and soon, the bright red card reappeared.

Fortunately, there is no possibility of rebellion in the summoning elves, otherwise it will appear from the flames again, but without the fierce appearance before, the poor black hound looks at Rod with extremely resentful eyes, believing that if it were not for the constraints of the contract, this poor "kamikaze" would immediately turn around and run as far as he wanted, and throw his mad master here and ignore it.

However, it is a pity that Rod completely ignored the "grudge" of the black hound, and he just whistled and motioned for the Flame Killer to continue to rush forward.

So, the battle resumed.

Of course, the brainless undead will not understand that what is killed by themselves will appear again and again, in the face of the black hound that pounces again and again, they unceremoniously tear it apart again and again, and the price is to endure explosions again and againβ€”β€”β€” the self-violence of the flame killer is not so easy to resist, several times in a row, the sea of bones has lost one-third, they began to subconsciously roll and condense, trying to fill the sudden loophole. didn't notice at all that Rhodes, who was originally wandering behind, had quietly leaned in at the moment. …,

As Rhodes, who has already completed a mission, he knows very well what the problem of this guy in front of him is, those white bones that seem to be full of lethality are actually just a trick, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is the sculpture that looks sacrosanct and inviolable surrounded by them at this moment.

"Lijie, Shield!"

The cards in his hand were really limited, but this did not bother Rod, and he quickly made a decision, and then gave the order to the girl standing behind.

Soon, a thin golden barrier shrouded Rod's body, and this time in the face of the white bone arm that pounced on him again, Rod finally did not choose to retreat, on the contrary, he held the long sword in his hand and met it.

With the flash of sword light, the claws of white bones close to Rhodes scattered and split, and in this gap, Rhodes's body flickered, turning into a shadow and leaping up.

Rhodes, who activated Shadow Flash, suddenly increased his speed several times, but it did not reduce the danger he faced. As monsters that win by numbers, speed is not a problem they cannot handle, and soon, countless arms once again stretched out from the ocean and grabbed towards Rhodes, sharp phalanges scratching across the golden barrier with a piercing sound. Soon, however, the arms retracted as if they had touched a hot furnace, and let out a low, mournful roar.

Lijie did it.

She raised her hands in the air, and beams of abundant positive energy fell from the sky, shattering the white bone arms that tried to block Rhodes' path. For a moment, fragments of white bones flew everywhere.

Although this was not a regular positive energy attack spell, the half-angel bloodline in Lijie's body made up for the lack of color, and the sea of white bones as if it had been splashed with oil by fire began to tremble, and the screams were full of anger. Soon, a "stream" of white bones spread out from the side and rushed towards the door.

And at this moment, Rod's body began to fall.

He is not an angel after all, Shadow Flash can increase his speed to the limit in an instant, but there is still a time limit, not to mention that gravity is not a dry mealβ€”β€”β€” it is obvious that Uncle Newton is very dissatisfied with Rhodes's attempt to challenge his authority, and intends to use realistic examples to teach him a lesson that he will never forget.

With his bones at hand, Rhodes, who had lost his momentum, was not able to cross the barrier to reach his target, and if he fell into it, he would definitely be torn to shreds.

But Rod didn't think so.

He stretched out his hand, and the summoning circle appeared in an instant, and the turquoise cards spun out.

Soul Bird.

The green spirit bird hovered around Rod, and the whirlwind immediately stopped Rod's continued descent, which also gave Rod time to slow down, and then he gritted his teeth and jumped forward again.

It was this pause that gave Rhodes room to win. When he leaps up again, he has already reached the top of the sculpture. Looking at the white and smooth stone statue not far below him, Rod apologized in his heart, and then he clenched his sword and slashed down.

But things didn't go as smoothly as Rod had imagined.

"Whew!!"

Just as Rod held his sword and slashed down, dozens of bone spurs suddenly flew out from below, shooting straight at the young swordsman in the air. But soon, the folded wings appeared out of thin air, blocking Rhodes' face.

"Knock knock !!"

With the dull sound of collision, the wings attacked by the bone spurs began to flicker, and the shining feathers fell off from the top and slowly floated in the air, which added a bit of beauty. And at this moment, the long sword in Rod's hand was less than a meter away from the sculpture.

"Hoo !!"

The wind flickered.

Rod only felt a black shadow flash in the corner of his eye, and then a huge impact hit from the side, and he could no longer support his balance, so he was hit hard and hit the wall on the side. Seeing this scene, Lijie on the side couldn't help but be shocked, she took two steps forward and tried to help Rod. But sharp bone spurs and arms strike again, forcing the girl to regain her position.

"Mr. Rhodes!"

"Woo........."

Rod snorted and stood up against the wall, feeling his body ach from top to bottom, his feet on the ground as if he were stepping on some kind of soft cotton, and he couldn't distinguish his center of gravity. And just then, the wind started again. …,

Almost relying on his instinct for seven years of play, Rod turned his head and brushed against the sharp object that came with the sound of the wind, and only then did he see the thing for what it really was.

It was a long bony tail, it was raised high, like a poisonous snake hovering around the statue, two consecutive misses, this tail also showed a lot of caution, it quickly retracted into a ball, only the sharp bone spur at the end of the tail was still high in front, like a poisonous snake, waiting for the best time to attack.

Five meters.

Rod calculated in his mind and quickly had an idea.

And at this moment, the other party seemed to have no patience for this enemy who broke into his forbidden area, and the sea of white bones that had already gathered and condensed was erected high, like waves rushing towards Rhodes who was close to the wall, and in the blink of an eye, the white torrent seemed to be a cathartic flood, completely swallowing that corner.

"Mr. Rhodes!"

Taking in the scene in front of her, Lijie only felt a flower in front of her and almost passed out. Her mind was almost blank, and she didn't know what to do next. Although Lijie also knew that this was dangerous, the confidence brought by Rod along the way made her subconsciously think that Rod must have enough ability to deal with it. And now, the striking gap between the reality in front of her and the ideal made Li Jie completely stunned, not even noticing that it was getting closer and closer to her bone claws.

But it was only for a moment.

The surging waves suddenly surged, and the shattered and swirling blades of light flew out, and the originally solid cage immediately became crumbling. In the face of the prey's struggle, the Sea of Bones only let out another roar of rage, and then pounced again, trying to completely eliminate the restless element in one fell swoop.

But this time, they failed.

The white waves were split in two, and a strong whirlwind swept through the scattered debris all around, whistling past, tearing it out a shocking rift. And Rod, who was in the middle of it, raised the long sword in his hand, and at the top of the tip of the sword, a dazzling star was flickering.

Rhodes took a half-step forward and waved his right hand, which was raised above his head, forward.

The white blade came out of his hand.

As if sensing the danger, the screaming sea of bones did not retreat but advanced, and layer after layer of bone walls were piled up high, rushing towards Rhodes with a "whoosh" sound. And the slender tailbone shook violently, sharply stabbing straight into Rod's face.

Rod lowered his hand and tilted his head slightly.

"Huh."

Cold, sharp bone spurs brushed past him again, and this time, it never had a chance to make up for its mistakes.

Because at the same moment, those fierce waves of white bones collapsed like building blocks smashed by a child, scattered and fell off, and after advancing two meters under the action of the momentum, they finally stopped at Rod's feet without threat.

Rod raised his head and looked in the direction of the bone spur, only to see that the beautiful sculpture that had been hidden behind it was deeply inserted with a sharp blade deep into it.

Soon, the cobweb-like cracks began to spread. At the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Rod's eyes.

[Base Opening]

"Kah."

With this soft sound, the bone spurs that rubbed Rod's cheek deep into the wall also fell apart.
