After turning over and picking off the other party's cloak, Rhodes saw the true face of the "lich" in front of him, but in fact the other party was not a lich, but a dead man——— although it was said that the lich was also a dead man, but there was still a difference between the two.

What appeared in front of Rod's eyes at this moment was the corpse of a young girl, no more than sixteen or seventeen years old from the face, it looked quite delicate and cute, as if it was because of long-term malnutrition, the girl at this moment had a yellow face and thin muscles, and her complexion was blue and black, and it seemed that she had been dead for a long time, but the strange thing was that she did not decompose, but still kept her body intact. At this time, everyone also gathered around, and when they saw the girl in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"My lord, this is ............ Lich? ”

After a long time, Serena hesitated to ask, no wonder she had this question, generally speaking, undead creatures have no flesh, most of them are skin and bones, except for the existence of abomination, they are basically bone frames. The Lich is no exception, and it can even be said that as a condensation of magical power, the Lich itself has completely eliminated such a thing as a physical body, and the stronger demigod Lich simply doesn't even need a body, and just runs around with a skull on his head. At the moment, this "lich" looks like an ordinary human in addition to his yellow face and thin muscles.

"Shall we kill her?"

Frederick also scratched his head beside him with a strange expression, and asked with some uneasiness. Originally, he thought that the lich was such a terrible monster, but now that it is a human girl, he also feels that something is not right. In the face of Frederick's question, Rhodes shook his head slightly and replied.

"No, she's long dead, and it's only her corpse that fights us."

Said here. Rhodes crouched down and stretched out his hand to tear open the girl's chest, which made Serena scream, but before she could say anything, her eyes widened, and she was stunned by what she saw——— only to see in the center of a black crystal inlaid girl's chest. Around the dark crystal, something like a blood vine took root deep in her skin and spread in all directions. But now, the black crystal was dim, and at first glance it looked like a gray, inconspicuous stone.

"It's a shame."

At this time, Seven Love also rushed to Rod's side from the other side, and the fire elemental lord squatted down like this, stretched out his finger and poked the stiff cheek of the girl's corpse.

"Ah, what a shame. It's already hard and frozen, master, do you want me to warm it for you, and then take it while it's hot? ”

"What are you kidding, do you think I'm like that?"

Hearing Qilian's words, Rod glanced at her.

"At the very least, let's wash it and disinfect it."

"It is worthy of being a master, that is, it is thoughtful."

"Alright, that's the end of the."

Rod quietly accepted the "praise" of Seven Love. Then he stood up and looked at the corpse in front of him with a frown. Full of doubts. If Rhodes is not mistaken, this should be the "puppet corpse witch", which is a technique developed by the lich, in simple terms, the lich connects his soul to the corpse of the caster through the "life stone", and then manipulates it as a puppet. But if that's all there is to it, it's not unusual. There are countless magic spells that the undead can manipulate. What makes "Puppet Corpses" special is that they can not only act as "spies" for the Lich, but can even inherit and use all the power of the Lich for a short period of time. This is almost equivalent to a clone of the Lich, and its strength is about the same as that of the main body, but when the clone is destroyed. The body will not take any damage. Because the Lich will leave the damage entirely to the soul of the caster, and it will be able to retreat quietly.

"It's cruel."

Hearing this, Serena couldn't help frowning in disgust and looked at the corpse in front of her.

"Why do those evil undead use this method?"

"Even if it's an undead creature, it's not really immortal, even if it's a lich with a life box."

Rhodes spread his hands and spoke.

"It's true that creatures like vampires and lichs, if they don't defeat their bodies, they will still be resurrected quickly, but resurrection requires a process after all, and in any case, they themselves will be hit hard in the previous battle, this kind of trauma is at the soul level, and it can't be eliminated for a while, and the enemies of the undead are not only us, I think you also know very well, Miss Serena, the struggle for power within the undead has always been very serious, if any of the lichs accidentally fell unlucky and were killed by us, maybe by the time it uses the power of the life box to resurrect itself, its few acres and three-thirds of land have already changed hands. That's why they create 'Puppet Corpse Witches', they will choose those victims whose soul fluctuations are similar to their own as containers, and engrave the life stone on their bodies, so that these victims are equivalent to a clone of the lich, and the lich can manipulate them to exert their power, even if they encounter attacks and damage..............." said this, Rhodes made a gesture. “…… Just like just now, he can let the soul of the caster himself act as a shield to block our attacks, and it can return to its own body at ease, so that it can sacrifice a puppet at most, but it can ensure that its strength will not be compromised. It's a good deal for the undead. ”

Speaking of this, Rod's inner doubts did not decrease, because if he was not mistaken, the appearance of the puppet corpse witch in the game was in the late stage, and at that time, both the war angel and the player had similar skills that could directly attack and damage the soul, in order to deal with these troublesome ghosts such as lichs. And the other party is not a fool to let them bully, in order to avoid direct damage to his soul, this is the technique of "puppet corpse witch". This trick also makes many players feel very disgusting in the game, because the puppet corpse witch can have the full power of the lich in a short period of time, so many times players will encounter these monsters when they team up to go down to the dungeon. Their strength is the same as that of the boss, but they don't have good equipment drops like the boss, and each lich will keep several puppet corpses to harass the player along the way, making the player miserable and complaining, in the player's opinion, this kind of hard-to-fight, disgusting monster that doesn't drop is the most annoying.

However, no matter how disgusting it is, it can't compare to the player's despicable and insidious obscenity, and the only weakness of the puppet corpse is that when the puppet corpse is activated, the lich's soul must be in the puppet corpse's body, and although the puppet corpse has the power of the lich, it does not have the magic and physical resistance of the lich itself. In the process, the lich itself is unconscious. So later, when the player encountered the puppet corpse witch, he didn't even fight, and threw a seal frozen imprisonment or something to seal the lich's consciousness and the puppet corpse witch there, and then sang all the way and killed directly to the end, if they were lucky, when they arrived at the lich body, the lich's consciousness had not been able to break through the confinement, so it was naturally very easy to deal with a boss who didn't even have consciousness. Even if the lich is unlucky, it will only be used as an ordinary boss to fight, after all, it is impossible for a lich with multiple gods to use two things at the same time, and at the same time manipulate the puppet corpse witch to fight the player with himself.

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but sigh pity, he also has a lot of experience in fighting with the puppet corpse witch, but because of the relationship of time, Rod didn't expect that something that should have appeared in the late stage of the war would come out at this time, just when the other party was an ordinary lich, if he really knew that this was a puppet corpse witch, he would have let Li Jie throw a soul imprisonment when he sneaked up, and then he could slowly clean it up. Fortunately, the lich probably realized that he had acquired his soul and decisively gave up the body, and he obtained the soul of the body itself. It's no wonder that the system describes the acquisition of "Revenants" instead of "Lichs".

But judging from the form of the life stone, the current puppet corpse witch seems to be not as mature as it will be in the future, maybe this is exactly what was during the trial test?

Thinking of this, Rod snorted coldly. If he wasn't wrong, it should be its inventor who manipulated this corpse witch puppet, and this time the other party obviously also used this to demonstrate his own test, and as far as the current situation is concerned, he and the others have obviously become the perfect test of the other party. But that's fine, the encouraged lich will definitely continue to carry on his puppet corpse witch business, of course, it doesn't know that Rhodes has already had a way to deal with this kind of thing, and if this guy keeps up his efforts, Rhodes doesn't mind giving it a lesson that he will never forget.

"What do we do now? Mr. Rhodes? ”

Li Jie looked at the corpse in front of her at a loss, a little embarrassment and uneasiness appeared on her face, and hearing her inquiry, Rhodes shook his head, put the thoughts in his mind behind him for a while, and then he came back to his senses, and then he looked at the people in front of him and spoke.

"Take her with you, and we'll go back."

"Bring it, bring ...............?"

Frederick let out a strange cry and stared at Rhodes with wide eyes.

"But my lord, she'............ It's dead. ”

"That's right."

Hearing Frederick's answer, Rod nodded.

"Sometimes, though, we don't have much less from the dead than we can from the living."

Then he spoke. (To be continued......)
