Chapter 2 Skeleton Soldiers
Rhode observed the terrain he was in and found that it was a strip-like space with obvious passages in front and back. The passage on one side was where the roar came from before. The passage was narrow and long, while the passage on the other side was inside There is only a little light, which is not comparable to the fluorescence in this long space.
"Because the denser the death energy, the faster the transformation of undead creatures, these corpses should be placed in the position closest to the main tomb here. Then, this should be the closest to the tomb in the tomb."
"The apprentice will definitely arrange a part of the undead as guards in the passage that came. The side from which the roar is heard is the passage, and the other side leads to the main tomb. The necromancer must have never thought that someone could pass the guard of the passage and enter directly. The main tomb, there should be no danger in the tomb.”
"Go to the tomb to see if there are any supplies. After all, you can't deal with the undead in the passage with your hands."
As soon as he thought of this, Rhodes started to move, carefully crossed the corpse displayed at his feet, and walked slowly into the tomb.
With the help of the dim light in the tomb, Rhode observed the situation in the tomb. There were a lot of materials stacked on both sides of the tomb, including some valuable items looted from the village, enough for one person to eat dry food for half a month. , There are also several sets of worn-out leather armor, and there are several rusty iron swords stacked in the corners, which should be used to arm undead creatures.
At the end of the tomb, there is an intact coffin. Although it has not been carefully observed, the death energy it emits represents that a middle and high-level undead creature is sleeping inside.
Seeing this, Rhode stepped forward to select and put on a set of leather armor that looked relatively intact, and then selected a fairly complete iron sword from the corner of the wall. Although he didn't take a close look at the system's evaluation, from the appearance of these items alone, Rhode knew that their properties were not very good.
…………

Evaluation: Instead of putting hope on it, it is better to put hope on your body.
…………
【Rusty Iron Sword】
Equipment requirements: none
Basic Attributes: Damage +3, Durability 4/10
Comments: The iron sword that has been placed for an unknown period of time, once well maintained, it can still fight for you for a period of time.
…………
Putting on the best equipment under the current situation, Rhodes is ready to start action. According to Rhode's guess, since the attribute panel is still there, and various equipment can also display attributes, the way to obtain experience points will not change much.
Putting on the equipment, Rhode returned to the position where the corpse was displayed before, and then walked slowly towards the passage outside the tomb.
When he came to the passage, Rhode observed the terrain and found that the road changed from being open to narrow and long. In this case, this is undoubtedly good news, which means that Rhode does not have to face more than one enemy at the same time.
Continuing to move forward slowly, Rhodes could clearly hear some meaningless roars. Rhodes concentrated his mind, clenched his weapon tightly, and looked at the darkness in the passage.
Rhodes determined that the first enemy he would face was the skeleton soldiers. Although the full picture of the enemy has not yet been seen, the skeleton body undoubtedly reveals its identity.
Skeleton soldiers, low-level undead creatures, whose attributes are slightly higher than that of adult men except for their physique, only retain the most basic fighting consciousness, and can't beat well-trained swordsmen without the control of necromancers. On a larger battlefield It can only be used to consume the enemy's physical strength, and together with the walking corpses, it is called the two cannon fodder on the battlefield.
The player forum has been debating who is the most rubbish undead creature, skeleton soldiers and walking corpses, but these are of no use to the current Rhodes, because Rhodes' body is still developing, and its own attributes are not even comparable. Average for adult men.
"Can you just fight hard..."
Rhodes sighed,
If you want to kill a skeleton soldier, unless you decapitate it, you can only use up the energy of the fire of the undead by causing damage, which is commonly known as running out of life.
Since he didn't know the number of enemies behind the passage and the Necromancers he might face, Rhode was obviously unwilling to be too entangled with the skeleton soldiers in front of him. In the case of slightly poorer attributes, he could only find a way to behead him.
This kind of skill of putting one's own life completely on the fight is actually a very disadvantageous choice. If there are other better choices, Rhode will definitely not choose to forcibly beheaded. In a battle, he can get attributes and Other advantages are much easier.
The main reason is that the basic attributes of this body are too poor. If it is the attributes of a normal adult man, Rhodes is confident to rely on his combat skills to consume the skeleton soldiers. However, Rhodes will not complain about anything. After all, the battle is still to be fought, but it needs to be changed in a different way.
Rhodes' in-situ thinking was delayed for some time, and no one knew what would happen when the necromancer apprentice came back.
Thinking of this, Rhodes looked around at his feet, then bent down and picked up an egg-sized stone, and then slammed it towards the skeleton soldiers in front of him.
Due to the poor light and low attributes, the stone did not hit the skull of the skeleton soldier as Rhode thought, but hit the skeleton soldier's sternum. The impact of the stone caused the skeleton soldier to retreat two steps.
The characteristics of the undead creatures made the skeleton soldiers not shocked by the sudden attack, but directly charged towards Rhodes with a knife after stabilizing their pace.
The skeleton soldiers rushed in front of Rhodes, and then slashed at Rhodes violently.
It stands to reason that in order to deal with the offensive attack of the skeleton soldiers, Rhodes should retreat and parry while looking for opportunities to counterattack, but Rhodes did not do so, but faced the attack of the skeleton soldiers when they were about to arrive. The sword in his hand slashed diagonally upwards, and at the same time his body bent sideways in an unnatural posture.
If someone is watching at this moment, they will find that it is not so much that Rhode's sword pierced the cervical vertebra of the skeleton soldier when the strength of his arm is at its maximum, it is better that the skeleton soldier actively uses the cervical vertebra to meet Rhode's thorn. He went up, and Rhode's body skillfully avoided the attack of the skeleton soldiers with a slight difference.
Deng!
With a crisp sound, a skeleton head fell to the ground, the fire of the soul in the skeleton head slowly extinguished, and Rhode was also exhausted at this time, resting against the wall next to him, calming his violent heartbeat.
Although the previous battle time was extremely short, and the winner was decided in just an instant, the consumption was enormous, especially the mental consumption.
It seems that Rhodes just killed the skeleton soldiers with a simple sword, but it contains great danger.
The first is the timing of the shot. Once the timing is not right, the blade is not stabbed or the skeleton soldier is not killed if it is stabbed, then the next attack on the skeleton soldier cannot be avoided and can only be injured. The second is to avoid the original attack after killing the skeleton soldier, which consumes more energy.
I don't know if it was because of mental loss, Rhode felt that his physical strength was also consumed a lot.
