Chapter 230: The Sealed Place (1)

【Recruitment】Set sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!

【Set Sail】Official YY: 208714, welcome everyone!

"Poof!!"

Dark green blood splattered out, falling to the ground and sending out puffs of white smoke.

"Pack up, let's move on."

Rhodes put away his long sword, completely ignoring the eyes of the mercenaries around him, and gave the order very calmly. The mercenaries were stunned for a moment, and then they began to pack up the huge corpses in a panic.

Originally, these mercenaries thought that they would only encounter a bunch of goblins and the like at most in the ruins, but when they actually stepped here, they found that they were dealing with something they had never seen before——— no goblins, no giant underground spiders, and instead some creatures they had never seen before. They look like lizards, but they are absolutely different in that they are human-like and rely on two legs to walk, and not only that, but they are even able to use some primitive weapons.

If that's all there is to it, then these mercenaries shouldn't be too surprised, after all, there are many strange races that live underground, and this kind of lizardman may be one of them. But the gems on their foreheads convey another message to the mercenaries——— these lizards are not a naturally occurring race.

When they first came into contact with these lizardmen, the unprepared mercenaries suffered a small loss, these lizardmen were more than two meters tall on average, strong and powerful, and although they did not wear armor, the smooth scales were enough to slide through the mercenaries' swords. Because of this, the mercenaries were not able to react immediately at first, and it was not until Rod quickly gave the order to change their combat methods that the situation became much more balanced.

But even so, for the mercenaries, the one they were most surprised by was their own regimental commander, Rod.

In the face of these monsters, which were more than two meters tall, Rhodes flew among them like a shadow, and many times the mercenaries only felt a flower in front of them, and then these huge creatures fell to the ground with a bang. What's even more bizarre is that when the mercenaries examined the corpses, they couldn't find the slightest wound anyway, and they didn't know how Rhodes killed these monsters.

"Kavos?"

"Ah, yes, sir!"

After hearing Rod's inquiry, Kavus came to his senses, and then he quickly gave the order, and soon the mercenaries took out their daggers and knives, went to the huge corpses, and dug out the gems from their foreheads. And that's exactly what Rhodes asked them to do, and although these weird lizardmen looked poor and sour with no loot, the gems on their foreheads looked like they could sell for a good price.

Retracting his gaze from his subordinates, Rhodes raised his head and re-examined the ruin in front of him.

Unlike the black pine ruins, the ruins of Unicorn Peak are much older and more dilapidated, except for some stone staircases, there are no artificial ruins to be seen, even those murals and sculptures have long been sealed under layers of dust and vines. This made Rod a little worried, if things were really as he thought he thought, then wouldn't it take a long time to achieve his goal?

If that's the case, then this time it may be a bit more than worth the loss.

However, what surprised him was that according to the report of the Seven Loves, after the Orphineans entered the ruins, they did not start to clean up the ruins as Rhodes expected, although they did this occasionally, but according to the observations of the Seven Loves, these Orphinians seemed to do it only occasionally, by the way, and it seemed that they were looking for something. …,

This news surprised Rod a little, could it be that his idea was wrong? The fabrication information for the Construct Forge is not hidden in these murals in the ruins, but in some hidden Lost Chest? But this is not scientific, the sealed ruins under the Unicorn Peak Rhodes have led the team through not a hundred but eighty times, and they know everything about what equipment is produced here, if they can really make a design drawing for the construction of refining in this place, why bother to step on the Orfinia later?

However, this group of Orphinians has always been able to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and their willingness to come to this ghost place means that there is indeed something they want here.

But it is not excluded that there is another possibility, that is, the design of the construction and refining was not intended to be given to players, according to the current game time, it is still the middle of the open beta, most players can't even recognize the place of the Dragon Soul Continent, and it is not cost-effective to run to the ruins of this deep mountain and old forest. And Dragon Soul Continent is the only truly "real-time" online game, which means that the NPCs in the game will live like ordinary people. They'll work, live, or take risks when you're not looking——— of course, most NPCs will come back to life even if they die for some reason, but that's just a creative idea for the player.

So it's not impossible that while players are busy getting acquainted with the continent, NPCs come here to venture and take away the blueprints for the construction of the refinement. There are a lot of similar NPC-specific quests and items in the game, which is not surprising to Rhodes.

However, if this is the case, Rhodes will have to change his plan, and he will have to worry about the Orphinians to avoid the disconnection between the sweeping team he leads and the back. But now, if they're really looking for something, then there's no need to wait for them, just clean up all these monsters, and then there's no problem.

In addition, Seven Love also reported another thing to Rod——— that is, the situation of Labis has become more and more weird, after entering the ruins, the girl seems to have become a selfless, manipulated puppet wandering around the ruins, if it weren't for Seven Love watching, I don't know where she would go.

For Labis's situation, Rhodes can only see it in his eyes now, there is no particularly good way, he is not a robot after all, he doesn't understand the three laws———— he is far away, as a non-alchemical race, he is not very clear about what kind of situation Labis is now, so he has no other way except to keep an eye on Labis in Qilian.

After all, there's more to it about yourself right now.

"Keep going."

Retracting his thoughts, seeing that the mercenaries had finished harvesting the gems on the lizards' heads, Rhodes froze, then took a deep breath and gave the order. Then, he drew his sword and continued to walk forward.

Only a faint light flickered in the dark passage, out of the torches held by the mercenaries and the lanterns hanging from their waists, only the luminous plants growing in those tunnels were still emitting a cold light, of course, Rhodes did not forget to keep his people away from these glowing things, according to the common sense on the earth, most of the things that can automatically glow are not good things............

In the silent passage, there was nothing except the chaotic footsteps of the mercenaries.

But Rod did not let go of the "hiss" hidden in the darkness. ”

"Kavos, ready, left!"

With Rod's instructions, Kavos waved his hand suddenly, and soon, under his leadership, several torches were thrown out of the way by the mercenaries. With the flash of firelight, the darkness receded like a tide, and then the huge body of the lizardman that had been hidden and smashed in it was revealed. …,

"Attack!"

The sudden light surprised the lizard people, they did not expect that they would be discovered by the enemy in this situation, in the face of these sudden fires in front of their eyes, the lizardmen who have been living in the dark world of the underground naturally could not bear such light, they instinctively reached out, covering their eyes, and at the same time let out a cold-blooded reptilian hissing sound in response. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Kavus also rushed forward with his subordinates, at first, Kavus would also choose to use bows and crossbows to entertain these monsters, but after Rod's point, he soon found that the arrows shot by those bows and crossbows could not penetrate the smooth scale armor of the lizardmen, rather than this, it is better to fight in close quarters, and then attack from their weakest abdomen is more reliable, so at this moment, after seeing the lizard people fall into chaos, Kavus immediately drew out two knives, He greeted his men, and then rushed towards the chaotic crowd of lizards with the agility and speed of a thief.

But Rhodes was faster than him.

Kavos only felt a dark shadow flash in the corner of his eye, and in the next moment what he saw was that Rhodes suddenly appeared at the lizardman's feet, and at the same time he raised his long sword and made a forward stabbing motion———— but in the next moment, the wooden stick raised by the lizardman passed through Rhodes's afterimage and slammed into the ground, and at the same time, the lifeless lizardman tilted his head and fell straight down.

This can be regarded as a very impressive scene for Kavos, Rod's speed is so fast that even this professional thief is astonished, he can't even keep up with Rod's movements, and he can't even judge the real-time location of the other party completely and accurately, whenever Cavos sees Rod, all he can find is the afterimage left by Rod, and where he is, but it is unknown.

There were more than thirty lizardmen in ambush in the corner, but Rhodes wiped out ten of them in just a split second. The remaining lizardmen wielded rudimentary wooden clubs and fought the mercenaries. Their powerful strength and slender tails are very dangerous weapons for mercenaries, and these cold-blooded reptiles are much smarter than they seem, and they even know how to defend against key points to prevent mercenaries from attacking easily.

"Drink!!"

One of the mercenaries screamed and swung his two-handed sword, but before his two-handed sword could plunge into the lizardman's soft abdomen, the hard wooden stick blocked its way. For a while, the fire was overflowing, and the reaction force from the sword body made the mercenary even feel numb in his palm, and before he could react, the wind in his ears suddenly sounded, and then in the next moment, the lizardman's slender tail hit the mercenary's body hard, and he was directly pumped out of the air.

"Wooh!!"

The unsuspecting mercenary was slammed into the wall, and the hard touch, impact, and pain behind him made him feel like he was about to vomit his internal organs. And just as he was struggling to get up, he was horrified to find that the lizardman had strode to his side, raising the wooden stick in his hand.

Is this the end of it?

Looking at the thick wooden stick, the mercenary's heart was cold.

Dark shadows flashed.

Rod jumped on the lizardman's shoulder like a spirit bird, the bright red weep in his hand slashed out of thin air, and the translucent blade flew past the lizardman's neck in an instant with Rod's movements, and the whole process didn't even take two seconds, Rhodes had already jumped up, and once again rushed into the battle group like a ghost.

And it was only at this time that the lizardman, who had been harvested and still maintained his movements, fell to the ground, and the huge wooden stick in his hand slashed through the air and smashed heavily on the mercenary's side———— which made him feel a jī spirit, but soon, after realizing the truth of the matter, the mercenary immediately jumped up with joy, and then raised his weapon and rushed towards the other lizardman who was attacking his companion.

The battle is far from over...... )
