It's not going well.

If the evil spirits on the first floor were just low-level mobs, then the dead on the second floor were even more difficult to deal with. Although they are dead, they still have an instinctive understanding of combat skills, and their rotten flesh is quite fragile, but it is still more than enough to resist the positive energy attack of Lijie's half-formed tone. So soon under the siege of the dead, Rod and Lijie had to adjust back to the most orthodox battle formation, Rod and the Flame Slayer fended off the monsters in front, and the girl who followed behind returned to her original position, and began to shield Rhodes and expel toxins, instead of thinking about a cameo output.

It's coming soon.

Glancing at the decorations on the walls and comparing them with his own memories, Rhodes swung his sword once more, tearing through the defenses of the dead. I saw Dao Dao light blades flying from above, circling and dancing, mercilessly piercing those corpses that had long since decayed and should have returned to dust, but continued to move under the effect of magic. A huge wave of air erupted, sweeping through the stump fragments and carrying them to the shadowy other side of the hallway.

The more she moved forward, the more angry she became.

The dead were not just the mercenaries who stood in their way, some of them looked like minions, and even children. They are all victims who had disappeared in the murderous mansion. But under the manipulation of that evil magic, they are forced to be awakened from their due slumber and become accomplices of evil.

"What kind of evil can bring so much harm?"

Lijie clasped her hands tightly and muttered to herself.

"Any kind of evil will bring harm."

Rhodes replied casually as he brandished his sword and commanded the "resurrected" Flame Slayer to spit out flames at the undead in front of him.

"But that's too much!"

"The amount of strength is inherently different from person to person."

The undead in the tattered maid's long dress, whose face could be vaguely seen, opened her mouth and wailed and pounced, but before she could grab Rod's clothes, the light of the star mark had already pierced the other party's forehead.

"The results never change because of the motivation."

Drawing his sword and slashing away another carrion that tried to get close to him, Rhodes raised an eyebrow.

"So once you've made a decision, you have to face the consequences."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Li Jie was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what Lu Dao would say like this, but before she could open her mouth to ask, suddenly her back was cold, and then, a heavy object fell from the sky and grabbed Li Jie's body.

"Yikes!!"

The intense pain made the girl scream, and she subconsciously turned her head, but immediately became stiff.

At this moment, behind her, a child who looked to be only two or three years old was crawling there, with purple and black skin, hollow and dark eyes, and only rotten and shriveled flesh in its open mouth, its two small hands grabbed the girl's shoulders like iron tongs, and when she saw Lijie turn around, it suddenly moved forward and pounced on the girl's neck. And at this moment, a white light waved, and the blade in Rod's hand cut off the big head mercilessly, and then, the small hand that originally grasped the girl's body was also separated, and the body that lost its head fell to the ground like this, and then turned into dust and disappeared into the cracks in the floor.

“—————”

Lijie stared blankly at the ground, and didn't come back to her senses for a while, until Rod's voice sounded in her ears.

"Be careful."

"Ah, yes!"

It was only at this point that Lijie felt the pain in her shoulder, gritted her teeth, cast a toxin expulsion on herself, and then recast the shield again, and then felt much better. It was only then that the girl realized that something was wrong, and she looked up in surprise to find that there was no obstacle ahead. Most of the carrion corpses that had besieged the two were now lying on the ground, turning into dust and sand with the faint sound of the wind.

"It's ............"

"It seems that the other party knows that there is no way to take us, and he is starting to think of new tricks."

Rhodes lowered his sword, and then he turned to look over Lijie's shoulder, frowning.

"How's the injury?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not too deep."

Standing up, Li Jie replied in a low voice, the shock to her from the scene just now was so amazing that the girl still had no way to recover. …,

"Let me see."

There were no more enemies around, so Rhodes motioned for the Flame Slayer to be on guard, and then he walked over to Lijie and crouched down to her.

"No, it's fine."

Hearing this, Lijie immediately became a little panicked, she subconsciously pressed her shoulders and shook her head.

"Let me see."

Looking at the expression on Lijie's face, Rhodes didn't change, just repeated it calmly.

“…………………”

Lijie was silent for a moment, then finally put her hand down.

I saw that on the white robe, ten small bloodstained holes were shocking, and blood slowly seeped out of it, staining it red.

Rod crouched down, grabbed Lijie's robe, and tore it hard.

On the snow-white shoulders, the flesh and blood were blurred.

"Have you expelled the toxin?"

"Yes, there should be no problem."

"That's good."

Rod nodded, didn't say anything more, and then he reached for the kettle at his waist and began to clean the wound.

“———！！！”

The intense pain came, Lijie gasped, she raised her head, and looked at Rhodes in front of her, who was concentrating on cleaning and blasting her wounds, but her heart was extremely complicated.

"Mr. Rhodes............"

"Huh?"

"This ......... I'm so sorry I was distracted........."

"You don't have to apologize to me, I wasn't the one who was hurt."

"Uh............"

Hearing this, Li Jie was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed out loud.

"yes, I'm sorry, I ........."

"I said, don't apologize to me."

"Ah, that's good, right............"

Lijie herself finally found out what the problem was, and she smiled and said no more. Just quietly looked at the man in front of him.

What kind of person is he?

Lijie couldn't find the answer to this question when she asked herself, she had met a lot of people before she became a mercenary, and after becoming a mercenary, she saw more men. But he has never seen a person like Rod, he is only a few years older than himself, but he is calmer and calmer than many people who have rolled at the edge of the knife all their lives. And full of absolute confidence, he never doubted what he said, and sometimes he was even a little overbearing, but why did he trust him so much? Of course, this man is not good at everything, and he usually doesn't laugh at all, which is very boring.........

"Alright."

Rod's words brought Lijie back to her senses, and she realized that her wound had been bandaged at some point.

"Move, is there a problem?"

"It's not too much of a problem, if it weren't for the vigorous movements........."

As a spirit master, Lijie certainly knows how to regulate her physical state. If it weren't for the fact that the position of the injury was tricky, she wouldn't have asked Rhodes to help her.

"Good."

Rod nodded, then stood up.

"Get ready, let's move on, there's not much time to waste."

After the previous frantic battle, the undead seemed to have sensed Rhodes' power and no longer appeared. Along the way, the previous calm was restored. But both are well aware that the storm is condensing. Rhodes relied on mission experience, while Lijie relied on angelic sense. Soon, they came to a large gate. This is the only place in the entire mansion that is intact, clean and tidy. It's also because it's even more weird in the surrounding dust, garbage and cobwebs. And only Rhodes knew that this was the creation room of the master artist of the Cerrell family, and it was also the beginning of everything.

"It's inside."

Li Jie subconsciously swallowed her saliva, feeling that her shoulders seemed to start to numb slightly, the kind of evil that came out of the crack in the door almost suffocated her, for the girl, for the first time in her life, she realized that the word "evil" could also be manifested.

Rod pushed the door open.

The scene inside made the two of them subconsciously hold their breath.

If you could describe it in one word, how would you describe the scene in front of you?

Evil? Filth? Filthy?

Neither.

The first impression of this room is that ——— holy.

Pure white paves the entire room, ornate stone pillars support the dome, and the light of the moon spills through the circular hole in the center of the ceiling, bringing a dreamlike beauty. And in the center of the radiance, there is a stone statue standing quietly. …,

It was a woman.

She was naked, with her hands around and her long hair draped. The delicate face, the delicate and delicate facial features, and the beautiful smile mixed with a touch of playfulness are all fascinating. Anyone who sees her at first glance will not hesitate to think that this is the most beautiful work of art in this world, and there is no one.

"It's so pretty........."

Even Li Jie couldn't help but sigh, at this moment, what evil breath, what weird undead creatures, as if they had been left behind. She subconsciously walked forward, wanting to see the sculpture up close, but Rod was quick and grabbed her shoulder.

"Ahh

The moment she was pulled, Lijie was still a little dazed, but she quickly shivered and woke up. At the same time, Rhodes whistled and pointed straight ahead. Without hesitation, the Flame Slayer roared and rushed into the room, fangs and claws out at the almost immaculate sculpture.

But the black hound didn't get there.

"Whew!!"

Several slender arms suddenly appeared from the walls and floor, grabbing the Flame Slayer's body and limbs.

"Woooooooo

The black hound struggled in mid-air, trying to turn around and bite at the arms that bound it. But before it could make a move, it grabbed several arms of the black hound and quickly recovered, tearing it to pieces. At the same time that the Flame Slayer was torn apart, the self-inflicting attribute was activated again!

"Boom !!"

The surging flames suddenly spread through the room, and at the same time, a sharp and terrible cry rose to the ground!
