Chapter 439: Underground Maze (III)

The next battle was not challenging for Rhodes and the others. After all, this maze is just an ordinary quest location, and any player can come to the single brush. Not to mention that there are three people on Rhodes' side now, and those unfashionable ghouls have no way to pose any threat to them. Because of this, these poor creatures have also become training tools for Rod and Annie. For Anne, it was also a good opportunity for her to adapt to her own strength and learn to use it freely.

"Drink!!"

The girl rolled over and dodged the counterattack of the ghoul next to her, and then she shouted and waved the pure gold shield in her hand, and smashed it on the ghoul's waist with great force, and the huge force suddenly split the ghoul in two, and then loaded it heavily on the wall next to her. It was only then that Anne stood up and took a breath. Rhodes glanced at her and nodded.

"Good job, the next target is the head, remember, hit the head, but don't touch the other parts, otherwise it will fail, understand?"

"Okay, Captain, Anne understands!"

Hearing Rod's order, the girl nodded excitedly, and then she immediately lifted the adamantite heavy shield in her hand.

β€œManaitamod!”

With Anne's order, the originally wide pure gold heavy shield in her hand suddenly began to fold quickly, and contracted with the girl's arm as the center, just a moment's time, the originally heavy pure gold heavy shield was wrapped around Annie's arm like an armguard, but this arm guard was too big, and suddenly it was as if Anne's right arm had completely turned into a huge hammer. But the girl didn't pay any attention to the change in the Adamantite Heavy Shield, and just as the shield change was completed, her right foot stepped back. Then the whole person immediately spun backwards and punched the head of another ghoul who was brandishing his sword at him.

"Phew!!"

Anne's strength was not to be underestimated, not to mention that the heavy gold shield on her arm was now extremely hard, just a blink of an eye. The poor ghoul's head and chest had vanished under Anne's bombardment, like a wound left by a bite of a loaf of bread.

"Ahh

Although the monster in front of her was killed with one punch, Anne's face was quite helpless and frustrated, and she hurriedly jumped back, dodging the venom splashing from the ghoul's body, and at the same time did not forget to look back at Rhodes, and asked with some hesitation.

"Commander. Does hitting the neck count? ”

"It doesn't count."

"It's so good, Anne knows!"

Hearing Rod's answer, Anne nodded unwillingly, and at this time. Suddenly, a rusty sword flew towards Anne. A giant ghoul roared and swung its sword. Slashed at Anne's forehead. However, Anne was obviously not so easily hit by the other party, she still maintained the posture of turning her head to talk to Rod, but the whole body sank sharply at this moment, and then flipped sideways. Dodged the ghouls' attack. The sword passed Anne, but it didn't touch a single hair of the girl.

The ghoul missed the blow and immediately lost its center of gravity, and Annie's slender right leg also kicked from the side with the rotation of the girl's body at this time, directly kicking the ghoul to the ground.

"Ahh Failed again! ”

Instead of continuing to attack, Anne, who had rolled over and stood up from the ground, did not. After seeing the fallen ghouls, Anne held her head and cried out with great regret. "The regiment commander said that he had to kill with one blow, and this is the end of it......... It doesn't look like it's going to be easy to change............ Forget it, start over! ”

Saying this, Anne raised her arm without hesitation and blasted towards Lu Xia again.

It's not so much a battle. It's better to say that it's just a training, in the battle with the ghouls. What Rhodes was trying to explore was the fit between himself and the two daggers. Anne is trained to master her physical strength, and since entering the underground labyrinth, Rhodes has set many tests for Anne, as she did before, so that she can only split these ghouls in two, or only attack the head, and not hit other parts. It must be killed with one hit, and cannot be made up for a second hit. There are even times when you can't touch the claws of three or five ghouls for a few minutes after their attack, or if you use the Adamantite Heavy Shield to fend off the Ghouls' attack, you have to let their attack hit the center of the Adamantite Heavy Shield.

Although these requirements are indeed cumbersome, the reason why Rhodes asked Anne to do this is not to expect her to learn any tricks such as critical attacks, but to use this meticulous practice to let Anne learn to master her elemental power precisely. And Anne not only did not resist Rod's request, on the contrary, perhaps because she had never encountered such a request, the girl had a lot of fun.

I have to say that Annie's combat talent is indeed strong, although she is straightforward and simple, but when it comes to combat awareness, Rhodes found that Annie is even much smarter than many players, and even has a bit of a self-taught posture. In the case of elemental control, Anne's mastery was not precise at the beginning, and many times it could not meet Rod's requirements at all. But now, only two or three hours later, she was able to control the activation of the elemental power contained in her body to a certain extent. It was just a little lacking in some of the more subtle parts, but considering that Anne was not holding a dagger capable of precision work, but a heavy shield of pure gold, it was good that she could do this.

"Boom!!"

The corpse of the last ghoul was thrown to the ground by Anne, and by this time, the group had reached the end of the passage. At this moment, what appeared in front of everyone was no longer those dirty corridors and rooms, but a neat and gorgeous hall, which was able to accommodate thousands of people in terms of area. And it was much brighter than the dim, pitch-black passage it had been, and the gems of magic were embedded in the walls around it, giving off a pale glow that was not bright, even a little dim, but enough to see everything in front of it.

It can be seen that this should be the main burial chamber of the entire underground labyrinth. Because in this huge and spacious space, there are more than 100 sarcophagi. They are arranged in a hierarchy, from the bottom to the top like a pyramid, with ordinary sarcophagi erected on the side of the wall and below the staircase, and in front of Rod's eyes. In the deepest part of the main burial chamber, six exquisite sarcophagi are arranged in a circle, lying quietly on a high platform. In the center of them, at the top of the platform, lay a silver box, just as Rhodes had seen in the Raiders, the square box was the device used to close the defense facilities of the ruins of the Custer Plateau.

"Annie. How's your situation? Would you like to take a break? ”

"No, Captain."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Anne shook her head triumphantly and confidently.

"Anne is fine! Whatever you tell Anne to do, then Anne will do it! ”

"Good."

Hear Anne's answer. Rod nodded. Then he reached out and pointed to the high platform in front of him.

"Do you see these coffins in front of you? These coffins are full of ghouls, but they're not something you need to worry about, and Seven Love will take care of the debris. What you need to be careful about are the six sarcophagi above. In these six sarcophagi are sleeping six corpse witches, although they are not very strong, but they should also be careful. ”

"Corpse witch?"

Hearing Rod's words, Anne's eyes widened in curiosity, and she stretched out her hand to look at the six coffins in front of her.

"Is it the same thing as the necromancer we've encountered before?"

"It's similar to a necromancer, but there's a difference. Corpse witches are just failed finishes, they are not fully self-conscious, and only use some low-level necromancy, but there are many curses and poison gases in these spells, I want you to be careful and keep your distance from them. Remember to protect yourself with your elementals, got it? ”

Zhilu said. Head. ”

Although Anne replied very happily, Rhodes looked at her eyes looking at the high platform and was eager to try, and knew that Anne couldn't help but want to rush in and fight. But until then, he still has to make things clear.

"Annie, remember the location of the six corpse witches, the three on the left will be handed over to you, and the three on the right will be mine, remember, these guys can fly, don't let them fly, although the corpse witch has limited intelligence, but it is not easy to deal with, understand? Remember, they have a gem in the middle of their forehead, that's where their strength comes from, and if you break that gem, they'll be just ordinary corpses. ”

"That's good, Captain."

Hearing Rod's admonition, Anne nodded again, but this time, the girl turned her head with some confusion and looked at Rod.

"But Captain, why are you so familiar with this place, have you been here before?"

"Poof!"

Hearing the laughter of the Seven Lovers from behind, Rod couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, no wonder Anne asked herself this question, after all, what Rod said before was too clear, and anyone who looked at it would think that he must have been here before, otherwise, how would he know what was going on here?

Facing Annie, Rod naturally didn't want to tell her that he had turned over the strategy, and the strange eyes of the seven loves behind him undoubtedly showed that the fox-eared girl was 120% excited about watching a good show at the moment. It's just that for Rhodes, it's not a crisis.

"See those six sarcophagi? They are carved with inscriptions dedicated to sealing corpse witches, and it was when I saw that I knew what was inside these sarcophagi..............." Saying this, Rod couldn't help coughing embarrassedly, and at this time, behind him, there was once again the laughter of the Seven Loves. However, Anne apparently didn't dwell on the question anymore, she just nodded knowingly, and then turned her head again, staring at the hall in front of her. And Rod also reined in his thoughts, he raised his head, looked at the center of the high platform, and then reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Let's go."

Then, Rod whispered.

The first to rush into the hall was Anne, the girl couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to fight, but after Rhodes gave the order, Anne immediately let out a low cry, and then broke into the empty hall like a tornado. She sped forward, straight towards the high platform.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦οΌοΌβ€

At this moment, a low roar sounded again, and then the surrounding sarcophagus lids suddenly flew open, and then, one by one, huge ghouls walked out of it. Their eyes glowed with scarlet negative energy, and their two long arms hung straight down to the ground, and the five fingers on their palms could be seen sharp like bone spurs. You can see the sleeping ghouls here. It is a completely different new variety from what Rhodes and others have encountered before.

However, Rhodes obviously did not intend to classify and distinguish the monsters in front of him like a doctor of natural human sciences, and at this moment, his body flickered, mixed with a series of afterimages, and rushed forward. Only one sentence remained.

"Seven Loves!"

"Yes, yes, master, I've been watching the show for so long, and now it's time for me to move my muscles."

Hearing Rod's call, Seven Love smiled slightly, and then she lifted the hem of her skirt. Gracefully walked into the hall like the daughters of everyone who had been invited to the ball, and at this moment, sensing the breath of life, several ghouls had already turned around. pounced towards the Seven Loves.

Unlike their slow-moving compatriots. The ghouls were unusually fast, they fell on all fours like dogs, and they ran forward as fast as they could, their long tongues sticking out of their mouths. Shaking sticky saliva. It didn't take long for her to see that the two ghouls closest to Qilian had already come to her side, and they jumped high, stretched out their ten fingers, and roared to the target in front of them.

"It's kind of a Resident Evil now."

Seeing this scene in front of him, the smile on Qilian's face did not change in the slightest. On the contrary, in the face of the monsters rushing towards her, the fox-eared girl just flicked her tail and took a half step back, then she raised her right hand and snapped her fingers lightly.

"Smack."

Crisp, faint voices were barely audible in the wide hall and the roars of the ghouls. But with this action of Seven Love, fierce flames suddenly rose from under her feet. Like a waterfall in the opposite current, the ghouls who had rushed to Nanako's side swept away, turning them to ashes in the blink of an eye. Then Seven Love stretched out her hand and clapped her palm gently, and then, the fierce flames that erupted from the ground tilted forward, roaring like waves and sweeping around, enveloping everything in a sea of fire.

"Drink, ah, ah, ah!!"

Anne swung her shield and jumped high, dodging an attack from a raghoul rushing from the front, and then she shouted and swung the heavy gold shield in her hand and slammed it down, only to hear a crisp sound of bones breaking, and the ghouls who had been jumping around screamed and never moved again. Anne rolled on the spot with the help of this action, and smashed another uninvited guest with the help of the impact shield.

"I don't have time to play with them, let's go."

Just as Anne was about to crash into the third ghoul, Rod's voice appeared out of thin air, and then Anne only felt a flower in front of her eyes, and two strange flashes of light intertwined in front of her eyes and flew forward, turning the surrounding ghouls into pieces in an instant, and Rhodes kept passing Anne's side and rushing to the high platform.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, the six sarcophagi that had been sleeping quietly on the high platform finally erupted, and their coffin lids flew high, spun and fell to the ground with a dull sound. Soon, with the fluctuation of magic, six white bones in tattered robes flew from it, they held the same staff in their hands, and their dark eyes flashed with red spiritual light.

"Whoever comes, trespass on the forbidden land."

"Wow, Captain, they can talk!"

"They'll still say hello, stop talking nonsense, on!"

In the face of Annie's exclamation, Rod just complained in a hurry, and then jumped hard. At this moment, he had already rushed to the high platform, and the whole person turned into a dark shadow and shot straight towards one of the corpse witches. In the face of Rod's assault, the corpse witches also reacted quickly, they slowly flew towards the sorrel, and at the same time raised the staff in their hands high, and began to chant something out loud in their mouths. Then, one of the corpse witches pointed the staff in his hand forward, and a faint light shot out from the tip of the staff and shot at Rod.

"Hmph."

Facing the negative energy light from the other party, Rod snorted coldly, and then he waved his left hand forward, and Madaras immediately blocked in front of Rode, and then saw a small circle, translucent circle suddenly appear in front of the short sword, and then the light full of negative energy weakened in the circle, disappeared, and became invisible. Then, Rod's figure slammed into the middle of the witch's forehead without pause, and the dagger in his right hand flew forward, stabbing into the center of the corpse witch's forehead without pause. Then Rod shrank and jumped away.

"Click."

Rod's attack split the gem in the middle of the witch's forehead in two, and with his action, the witch let out a sharp howl, and a cloud of dark green smoke suddenly erupted from its body, and then the corpse witch, which had lost its source of strength, was completely weathered, turned into a little bit of magical light dust, and disappeared into the darkness.

β€œβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”οΌοΌβ€

Another corpse witch raised his staff and aimed it at Rod, but this time, before it could cast the spell, suddenly, the wind rose.

"Bang!!"

The roaring pure gold shield smashed into the head of the corpse witch impartially, and the huge impact force instantly turned the corpse witch's head into pieces. Then it spun in a zigzag in the air, causing a whirlwind that whirled in a whirlpool that swept into the other two corpses.

"Whew..............."

It was only then that Anne breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead.

"It's good to be in time."
