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

Looking at the spiritual dust sprinkled all over the ground in front of him, Rod wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and felt a little tired. Along the way, the three of them encountered a lot of ghosts, fifteen or sixteen. This is nothing if it is placed in a fully staffed five-person squad, but now that Rhodes has only one combat power, there is naturally no way to find an MT to resist like an ordinary brush book, and then everyone will desperately output. Instead, he could only carefully attract the opponents one by one, and then let Lijie cast positive energy to weaken the opponent's defenses, and then kill them as quickly as possible. Since the ghost is at least a level 10 elite monster, even the undead who have weakened their defense are also difficult to deal with, and in order to pursue the maximum damage, in addition to using the attribute bonus of the star mark in his hand, Rhodes can only strive to hit the opponent's vital point with each sword to obtain the maximum damage.

But humans are not machines after all, even in the game, such a demanding attack will consume a lot of energy, not to mention that Rod is still using his own body at the moment, and he can do it again if he fails in the game, but if he fails here, then he is likely to face death next.

This pressure was too much for Rhodes to bear, and he looked up at the misty ruins in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief after he was sure that there would be no more monsters for the time being.

"Mr. Rhodes, would you like to take a break?"

The girl who followed followed looked at Rod in front of her worriedly, as a spirit master, she didn't know the meaning of Rode's every move, but she could still feel the pressure he was under now.

"No......... Now ............"

Rod shook his head, although he had cleared the monsters here, but he always felt a slight danger, he looked around vigilantly, but he couldn't figure out where this weak sense of crisis came from in his heart, according to the distance, they haven't reached the boss's territory yet, and they shouldn't encounter too much danger. And Rhodes is also quite familiar with the distribution of undead here, and it stands to reason that the monsters here should have been cleaned up.

So, where does this sense of danger come from?

Rod looked around again, but found nothing, and at this moment, the fat merchant on the side suddenly shouted.

"Yikes!!"

"What's wrong?"

Rod and Lijie hurriedly turned their heads, only to see Mace with a pale face, holding a travel bag with one hand, and pointing to the dense fog behind him with a slight trembling other hand.

"Just now, there was a dark shadow ......... there"

"Dark Shadow?"

Lizzie looked in the direction of Mace's finger, but could see nothing in the fog except the dim sunlight.

"No............"

"Get down!!"

And at this moment, Rod's mind lit up, and he finally understood where the danger came from. So he shouted as he pressed the girl's head and forcibly pressed her down.

"Whew!!"

Almost at the same time, a black shadow flew through the air, and Rhodes could almost feel the cold minions brushing his scalp, and even a little hard and painful.

Damn it!

At this moment, Rod's heart had sunk to the bottom, and he already knew what this dangerous premonition came from! That's a gargoyle!

Legend has it that the ruins of the mist were once a bustling and glorious town, but they were gradually abandoned with the end of the trade routes. After that, a mage arrives here, and in order to save his beloved lover, he chooses to study the forbidden method of death in this abandoned town. However, in the end, the research failed, and the mage died. But the method of death didn't stop there, and it created a dense mist and so many undead creatures.

And in the entire dungeon, the most dangerous is the gargoyle left by the mage to protect his relics, which is a rare elite of the fifteenth level!

If it were a different team in the game, Rhodes would be quite happy. Because rare elites are very rare, sometimes they may not be able to kill them once in the next few times. But now he only felt that his heart was cold, the other party was a rare elite of the fifteenth level, and he was a flying monster. Not to mention the agility of the movements, there is also a considerable gap with those ghosts who have no entity to rely on negative energy to condense, at least Lijie's positive energy does not play a role in it. Coupled with the fact that the body made of the Black Shine Stone was extremely hard, the damage that ordinary attacks could inflict was really limited, so it was definitely a hard battle! …,

In the game, Rhodes went down the misty ruins more than thirty times and couldn't see a gargoyle, so he subconsciously forgot about it, but he didn't expect to encounter it for the first time after coming here?

Is this good luck or bad luck?

But now Rhodes is not in the mood to dwell on this kind of problem, because danger is imminent.

There is no future in frontal combat, after all, he is not yet level 10, and it is almost an impossible task to challenge a level 15 monster, even if there is a bonus of star marks, the attack power is really limited.

"Let's go!"

Without hesitating for long, Rod immediately gave the order, and he grabbed Lijie with one hand and shouted at the same time.

"Follow me, keep your head down, don't look up!"

It's impossible to retreat back now, the only way is to find the gargoyle's control center and destroy it completely, although escaping its attack range is also one of the options, but Rhodes looks at his team configuration, but he really can't find a person who can easily lead the other party away——— if there are rangers or thieves.

But now is not the time to complain.

Led by Rod, Lizzie and Mace stumbled forward with their heads down, and the fog around them began to surge again, and it was obvious that their movements had caught the attention of the ghosts, and four or five ghosts had already emerged from the fog and began to move in the direction of the three of them.

"Lijie, attack! Don't stop! ”

"Yes!"

Although it was not easy for the girl to cast spells while running, she gritted her teeth and stretched out her right hand, and soon, three or four consecutive white rays of light emerged from the sky and landed on the ghost's body. Then Rhodes immediately swung his sword and stabbed it, accompanied by a burst of screams, and soon those who stood in the way turned to dust and disappeared. And at this moment, a system prompt immediately flashed in front of Rod's eyes.

[XP 1900/1800, Upgradeable, Level 8]

However, Rhodes didn't have time to care about this system prompt at the moment, so at this moment more and more ghosts appeared from all around, although under the light of the divine light, their movements were a little hesitant and slow, but the advantage of numbers made up for the gap.

And in contrast to these ghosts, who are not agile in their movements, the gargoyles do not care about this divine radiance at all. Although both are powered by negative energy, as the guardian of the mage, the gargoyle's black glow stone is hard enough to resist the invasion of most divine powers. And after missing the previous blow, it immediately decided that everyone was its target, and kept closely following behind the three of them, waiting for the moment to attack——— compared to the undead who attacked by instinct, the artificial lifeform with a certain combat intelligence was indeed much more tricky.

"Ugh!!"

At this moment, Mace shook his body and fell heavily to the ground. The gargoyle, who had been waiting behind everyone for a long time, immediately flew down, and the two sharp claws in front of him struck the fat merchant who fell to the ground like lightning. When Mace turned around, all he could see was a shadow that almost enveloped his body.

"Oh my God......"

Although the speed of the gargoyle is indeed very fast, and Mace has already closed his eyes quite cooperatively and is ready to die, but its attack is still in vain——— a faint, shining golden barrier appeared out of thin air, resisting the gargoyle's sharp claws, and then several snow-bright blades of light flew through the air, hitting the gargoyle's body heavily, accompanied by a loud "pop" sound, the gargoyle that could not catch the momentum flew upside down and smashed heavily into the group of ghosts. And at this moment, Li Jie had already half-pulled up the fat businessman who had planned to go to the world to greet his relatives and continued to run forward.

"Here!"

Under the "encirclement and interception" of the ghosts, Rod managed to shake off most of the undead, and then he raised his head, and soon found his target——— which was an abandoned church, and it was also the place where the mage used to conduct the test, and according to Rod's memory, the center that controlled the gargoyles should also be there.

However, this kind of place is naturally not so easy to enter.

Just when Rod walked to the door of the church, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he hurriedly subconsciously activated the shadow flash and retreated, and then saw a pitch-black gargoyle half-squatting where he was standing just now, and a hard claw had smashed heavily on the ground, shattering the originally hard bluestone bricks.

"It's terrible."

Rod cursed in his heart, and at the same time quickly glanced at it, and sure enough, he found that the stone statues on the original pedestals on both sides of the church gate were gone. And as for where they went, you can also imagine.

I actually met two at a time.,It seems that I went to buy a lottery ticket today and should have earned.。

If there is a life.

"Get in there and find the central control!"

Rhodes looked at the gargoyle in front of him, and gave orders to Lijie and Mace.

"Those ghosts shouldn't come in to trouble you, I'll pester these two guys, you take this opportunity to go in immediately, find the central control device, and then destroy it, watch out for the traps."

"But......... Mr. Rhodes, you ............"

"It's an order."

Rhodes coldly interrupted Lijie's words, and then he held the star mark in his hand and threw it forward, and the snow-white light blade exploded instantly, and the gargoyle also screamed and flew up as Rhodes attacked, dodging his attack and making way to the church.

"Go!"
