Chapter 146: The Call of the Land of Blood
The passage to the Land of Blood was dim and long, and the bright light of the fire could not dispel the thick darkness in front of him. If it were the past, just seeing this dark and long passage was enough to make the people on the patrol feel a lot of pressure, they knew very well how terrible those demons were, maybe many of them were not of a high level, but their spirit of not being afraid of death really made the soldiers feel terrified, if they couldn't kill them completely, then they would be directly swallowed or dragged by them like falling into a bottomless swamp, until the real big demons came, and for the patrol people, Many of them have seen or heard of such a scene before, and unless you are lucky, you will still die.
But now...............
The people of the patrol looked at the elves wearing glass armor, carrying longbows, and swords hanging from their waists with complicated eyes, and they arranged into three merged triangles to protect the patrol in it, and the patrol team that was supposed to lead the way and protect everyone now reversed its position, and instead became the need for others to protect the fact that although it made them feel a little uncomfortable, but looking at these elven warriors in front of them, they couldn't find a reason to complain.
As warriors, of course, they could feel the sky-high, sharp momentum exuded from these elven girls who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. In their memories, even in the legion, this kind of aura is only qualified to have by those who are truly strong, and it is an existence that has stepped into a realm beyond the reach of mortals.
I really didn't expect that they would one day enter the land of blood under such circumstances.
Merely............... These warriors are a little different from what they imagined.
"Rasti."
Rhodes walked in the middle, frowning slightly and staring at these elven warriors in front of him, to be honest, when they were just summoned, this group of Valhalla archers still gave themselves a lot of face. Serious and meticulous in carrying out his orders, he even saw a look of envy and shock in General Capra's eyes, and had to admit that this made Rhodes very proud and comfortable. But not long after entering the underground passage, the group of archers immediately removed their serious appearance and began to chatter. They gathered together in twos and threes to chat, although the elves' voices were very good, and listening to them was like singing, but ............... The performance of these knights is also far from the impression they gave themselves before. Looking at their leisurely and relaxed appearance, it doesn't feel like going to some vicious and terrible battlefield, but the relaxation and comfort of going out.
"What's the matter? Your Excellency? ”
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Rasti responded quietly.
"These guys......... It's usually like this in the Star Spirit Temple? ”
"Yes, my lord, is there any problem?"
"Nothing."
Hear Rasti's answer. Rod rolled his eyes in his heart, maybe the first impression left on him by these guys when they appeared in front of him before was too strong, so Rod subconsciously thought that these archers should be the type of serious and serious, but now it looks ......... Forget it, that's not bad, originally, with so many legendary-level archer knights by his side, those demons who have the ability to pass through the enchantment seal are nothing at all. Although they have a quantitative advantage, their own side has an advantage in both quantity and quality. Don't talk about these fish that slipped through the net. With the strength of Rhodes' current subordinates, even if the demon army directly under the Demon Grand Duke came, he was not afraid. Moreover, such a relaxed atmosphere is not bad, it is better than the dull atmosphere that looks like it is about to be executed. However, looking at the elven knights around him chatting endlessly, Rod couldn't help but think of the situation when he led the player team to a large dungeon in the game, and everyone at that time was also chatting as they wanted. Effortless.........
Rhodes retracted his gaze, he was nothing special about this kind of noise, and Anne obviously didn't care about it, she was talking to the elven archer walking beside her excitedly. On the contrary, the patrol soldiers who gave them directions looked a little nervous, and it was no wonder. Although the elves were not very loud, the sound of gathering was not small, and the crisp sound spread all the way down the tunnel, and it would be troublesome if it attracted the attention of the creatures that lived underground. They patrol the underground all year round, and naturally know that most of the monsters here rely on sound to discern the direction and prey, even if it is not a headache like demons, just those monsters that live underground are enough for them.
"Right here."
Raising his torch, the patrol leader of the fifteenth squad looked at the passage in front of him, then looked at the map in his hand, and then spoke. His eyes looked at the dark passage in front of him, and there was a little fear on his face. In fact, even if he didn't need to say it, Rhodes could already smell the smell of blood coming from the cold air coming from the end of the tunnel. It seems that the soldiers here are quite right to call that ghost place the Land of Blood.
The smell of fishy coldness was so strong that the archers who were chattering and chatting just now also quieted down again at this time, although they didn't say much, but from the fact that the formation that was still a little loose was reintegrated in an instant, it could be felt that these archers were obviously more serious and professional than they seemed on the surface.
Looking at the wide and dark passage in front of him, Rod clenched his hands and closed his eyes, sure enough, even if he didn't use the fate probe, Rod had already felt that at the end of that passage, he had already felt some kind of fluctuation that was summoning himself, the kind of cold, sharp, full of bloody aura and battle intent fluctuations were slowly spreading around. After carefully remembering the strange and strange fluctuations, Rhodes opened his eyes and nodded at the patrol soldiers beside him.
"Thank you for your guidance, it's all here, you can go back, and then leave it to us."
"It's good, my lord..............."
To Rod's surprise, hear him speak. The captain of the patrol team did not immediately turn away, on the contrary, he looked at Rhodes in front of him with some hesitation, and beside him, the other patrol soldiers also looked strange, and after a while. I saw that the patrol leader of the fifteenth squad seemed to have made up his mind, and spoke.
"This ......... My lord, I beg your pardon for being rude, although I was ordered to bring you here, but ......... If you can, that......... Can we follow you to the Land of Blood? ”
"Oh?"
Hearing the patrol leader's words, Rod raised his eyebrows, and had to admit that he was indeed a little surprised by this. When these soldiers heard that they were going to the Land of Blood before they set out, their expressions were no different from those who were going to hell with them, what was the situation now? They actually want to follow themselves to the land of blood?
"Whatever, if you want to come."
However, for Rhodes, he didn't care, no matter what concern the other party had about the Land of Blood or what conspiracy he had, the absolute power in his hands was enough to destroy all conspiracies. So he didn't say anything, but answered very simply. Then he turned and gestured to the archers beside him, and continued on his way.
"Dash...... Da ........."
There was silence.
Maybe it was sensing the smell of blood. The Bow Knights also restrained their relaxed attitude, but they didn't show too much nervousness, and they didn't even draw their weapons like the patrol soldiers, their longbows still behind their backs, and their swords still hanging from their waists. But if you listen attentively, you will find that the footsteps are gone.
So many elven archers walked through the passages. But the sound of footsteps was almost none, and even if you listened closely, you could only hear the footsteps of the soldiers on the patrol, and even the footsteps of Anne and Rhodes seemed to be inaudible, not to mention Hastie, who seemed to be floating behind Rhodes like a ghost. And perceive this strange situation. The soldiers of the patrol also subconsciously slowed down their steps, but what made them depressed was that no matter how careful they were, their footsteps were still there, on the other hand, the elves in glass armor did not make a sound at all!
Is this the difference in strength?
Rhodes didn't care what the soldiers who followed his patrol were thinking, because at this moment, they had come to the underground realm known as the Land of Blood.
A bright red.
Even Rhodes, after seeing this scene in front of him, couldn't help frowning, there was no need for fire, an underground cavity the size of an indoor stadium appeared in front of him, around this oval cave, you can see a lot of glowing mushrooms, they exude a cold and snow-white light, illuminating this world that should have been swallowed by darkness, and in this land, the only thing that is possessed is blood, thick blood, scarlet color, viscous blood accumulated in the depression on the ground, forming a huge underground blood lake, and around this blood lake, you can see all kinds of white bones piled up, armor, and corroded weapons scattered everywhere. But it's not the strangest, the strangest, it's the quietness here.
It's so quiet here.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the strong smell of fish and blood in front of her, even Anne twitched her nose, revealing an expression of dissatisfaction and disgust. The silence was hellish, and the bones and other marks on the ground showed that there must have been a terrible battle before. There are humans on both sides of the fight, and there are other things that are not human.
"It's a real nuisance."
Rod frowned, he didn't expect that the bloody aura here was so strong, and the fluctuation that he had only memorized with great difficulty before should have belonged to the Holy Sword Card Elf had completely blended into this thick smell of blood at this moment, and he couldn't tell it at all. This couldn't help but make Rod feel a little annoyed, and soon, Rod raised his right hand again to summon Greysil and Madaras, and then, activated again............... Soul Search.
“————!!”
Dazzling, bright red light filled the entire space in an instant, and the red light emitted from the two cards was shrouded in the void like a bright circle of light, seeing this scene, Rod couldn't help but snort, and then put away the two summoning cards.
It seems that we will be able to find the weird holy sword elf next. Can you only rely on your own intuition?
"Let's go."
After pondering for a moment, Rhodes quickly gave the order.
The breath of death, despair, was so vivid, like substance. After entering the land of blood, everyone even felt that the air around them had turned into substantial red blood water, sweeping through from all directions. Wrapping them in it, the soldiers of the patrol were now pale, and the air was so viscous that they even felt like they had sunk to the bottom of a pool of blood, and were about to drown in pain. Even with every step they take, they feel as if their bodies are being pulled by invisible silk threads, and even walking is so painful for them, perhaps......... They shouldn't have come here at all.
However, they still come. For that one and only ......... Possibility.
The slippery and sticky blood under his feet will not make people feel comfortable at all, Rhodes frowned, carefully looking for traces of the existence of the holy sword elf, but what made him helpless was that the holy sword elf who had clearly shown its existence to himself so strongly before, but at this time he was quietly hiding, and he couldn't find any trace of the other party in this bloody breath. Then the next thing is only .........
"Rasti. Command them ..............."
Rod turned to Rasti beside him, intending to give orders. And at this moment, a strange tremor interrupted his speech, completely without warning, and a strong sense of foreboding came over Rod's heart. Not only him, but even the archers who gathered around Rhodes raised their longbows uncharacteristically at this time, looking around vigilantly.
There was no need for Rhodes to look for the source of that hunch. Because in the next moment, the originally silent space had begun to tremble, and then, I saw a flower in front of me, hundreds of pitch black. In this way, a huge figure appeared in front of and around everyone. They suffocated with a suffocating stench, their ugly faces marked by madness and murder, and they clenched their weapons tightly and let out a shuddering roar.
"It's a demon!!
Seeing this scene in front of them, the soldiers of the patrol only felt as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and their whole bodies were cold. What they feared the most, what they feared the most, appeared in front of them in the worst form, those demons who had passed through the gap in the enchantment, would actually come at this time!!
"Captain, what are we going to do?"
Looking at this scene in front of them, the soldiers of the patrol had no idea at all, they clenched their weapons and stared at the figure in front of them in despair. But their captain was not able to answer this question, he just stared blankly at the scene in front of him, all this was like a reappearance of that day, at that time, those terrible figures were the same, suddenly appeared in front of them, hundreds of heavily armed elite soldiers, under the attack of those terrible demons, could not even resist, the only thing they could do was to desperately escape......... Run away............
"Whew!!"
A dazzling flash of light interrupted everyone's thoughts. And at this time, they were surprised to find that the demon who was still standing in front of them just now had been completely split in two, and fell to the ground with a wail, and random pale blue flames flew up, engulfing the huge body.
"The stars shine!"
Soon, with the crisp chanting sound of Rasti, the dazzling brilliance turned from the tip of the tin staff into meteors, whistling through the body of the demon in front of her, and the merciless blue flames erupted in this way, completely enveloping the body that had been reduced to pieces. As the guardian of the Star Spirit Temple, she may not be able to face too powerful enemies, but she will not have any fears in the face of this kind of demon who is able to break through the barrier and come to the main plane because of her weakness.
The tide of the battle was simply one-sided.
Even if it didn't take Rhodes' hand, the dazzling roaring Dao Dao Light Arrows were already flying in all directions, knocking away all the demons that tried to attack. The archers didn't even use the swords around them, they just raised their longbows and pulled their right hands back out of thin air, and soon, an arrow completely condensed by the power of the soul appeared out of thin air, bent the bow and arrow, and then roared out, no matter how the demons defended or dodged, the light and flying arrow could find their enemies and penetrate the opponent's body. And those demons who were mortally injured would also disappear in a cloud of blue flames.
However, the number of demons is far greater than one can imagine.
Although the strength of the Knights of the Moonshadow Blade Knights was indeed very strong, and it could even be said that they had completely cleaned up the demons that appeared around them in an instant, but in the next instant, hundreds of demons appeared in this land of blood out of thin air, even more than the previous number, even the Archer Knights of Rhodes only had time to shrink and reorganize the formation that was originally divided by the demons, and they didn't even have time to prepare, and the second wave of battles started again.
"It's a nuisance."
Standing in the crowd, Rod's eyes also showed a little dissatisfaction for the first time. To be honest, he doesn't worry about those demons appearing out of thin air, and the monster farming in the game is basically like this, but the worst thing is that the speed of monster farming in this ghost place is inevitably too fast! In just the blink of an eye, the entire blood land was almost filled with demons, although they were all low-level monsters, and it was unlikely to hurt Rhodes and the bow knights of the Knights of the Moon Shadow Blade, but if they had been entangled by demons, then how would they get to that holy sword elf?
Do you want to drag it until this wave of monsters is finished, kill them and continue to search? Or do you want to fight and look for it, and then retreat after finding it?
But the question is, where exactly are you going to find that guy.....................
Soon, though, Rhodes won't need to worry about that.
"Boom !!"
With a loud explosion, a bright red pillar of light erupted from not far away, accompanied by the terrible and painful screams of the demons. At the same time, Rhodes once again felt the strange, unique, bloody fluctuations.
"Is it there?"
Rod muttered to himself, looking up at the bright red pillar of light in the distance.
PS: Guess what race the new Holy Sword card is? Even if you guess correctly, there is no prize............ (To be continued......)
