Chapter 26 Departure

after one day.

Rhodes was standing outside the tomb, waiting for the vampire to return from the tomb.

Rhodes remembered that, similar to a vampire, there should be a special item in the sleeping coffin. Because the tomb was filled with the gas generated by the burning flames, Rhodes could not enter it himself, and could only let the vampires in and take it out.

While the vampire was moving the barrier in the tomb, Rhodes also recalled what happened before.

At the end of the previous day's battle, Rhodes planted a spiritual imprint in the dying vampire's consciousness. Under the pressure of death, the vampire surrendered to Rhodes.

With the mental imprint, Rhodes is able to fully command vampires. It can be said that the life and death of vampires are completely controlled by Rhodes at this time.

Mastering the spirit imprint is equivalent to mastering everything about the undead creature. With the spirit imprint, the necromancer can control the undead creature to do anything, regardless of the type of the undead creature.

Undead creatures with their own consciousness, even if they choose to be loyal to the undead lord, they will not be easily planted by the necromancer.

Undead creatures like vampires will not be willing to be controlled by necromancers unless their lives are threatened.

The spiritual imprint of the vampire occupies a total of 3 spiritual attributes of Rhodes.

Based on his previous experience in controlling undead creatures, Rhodes knew that if he chose to kill a vampire, he could get 300 experience points.

As the character level increases, more and more experience points are required to improve the rank. For the current Rhodes, 300 experience points are only enough to increase the level of one character.

Through the strength shown by the vampires before, Rhodes is confident that he can easily gain more than 300 experience points by controlling the vampires.

When looking at the system log, Rhodes also saw his achievements in the battle.

"You have obtained the racing achievement [rest in peace]."

"[Rest]: The undead creatures you control (at least 10) are all killed in a battle. The basic reward is 2 points of control spirit"

"You got the racing achievement [Conquering the Undead]."

"[Conquering the Undead]: Control an undead creature that is one tier higher than you. The base reward is 2 points of control spirit."

The control spirit brought by the racing achievement allows Rhodes to control the vampire's spiritual attributes to return. On the contrary, Rhodes' control spirit has increased by 1 point.

After the battle, the seriously injured vampire forcibly devoured the flesh and blood of the rest of the undead creatures with the only remaining vitality, and then fell into a deep sleep, not waking up until a day later.

After waking up, the vampire showed the powerful undead attributes of undead creatures. A large amount of flesh and blood allowed the vampire to recover. Although the combat power did not return to its peak state, it was able to move freely, and it was impossible to see that yesterday's serious injuries were dying.

In the process of waiting for the vampire to wake up, in addition to meditating, Rhodes also sorted out the items he had obtained.

After returning the items placed beside the tomb back to the space ring, Rhodes double-checked another copy of "Basics of Pathfinding" from Elote, and found two pieces of parchment between them.

Rhodes took it out. The first piece of parchment was somewhat worn, and the paper had a dark brown color. Based on the experience of his previous life, Rhode knew that the map of the continent was drawn on it, but most of the locations only had a general topography and a place name.

The second one is more complete, with some terrain drawn on it, as well as landmarks represented by various partial symbols. Most of the positions on the paper are empty. Rhode guessed that this should be the map near here drawn by Elliot.

After reading "Basics of Pathfinding", Rhodes was able to understand the map drawn by Elote based on the landmark terrain recorded in the book.

After studying for a long time, Rhode understood the range expressed by this map. The range shown on the map is not too large, it is almost based on the fact that the tomb radiates to the outside.

Even the villages and towns around the tomb are clearly marked.

At this time, Rhodes observed that an X was drawn under the signs of successive villages on the map. Rhodes knew that this was the village destroyed by Elliot.

In addition to that, as if to remind himself, Elliott's map had obvious warning signs in all directions.

After reading "Pathfinding Basics", Rhodes also received a system prompt.

As in previous lives, all special skills are difficult to acquire through learning. After reading a book, Rhodes only got the primary pathfinding technique with 3% progress. But there is no difference between 3% and 0. As long as you don't spend skill points to learn pathfinding, it still has no effect.

At this time, Rhode, who was waiting for the vampire to return, began to check his character attributes:

Just when Rhodes was checking the attribute panel, the vampire also brought the props that Rhodes wanted and returned to Rhodes from the tomb.

Rhodes played with the props that the vampire handed him.

This is a black crystal with a rough surface, a large part of the middle of the crystal is worn away, and the interior is cloudy. The fire did not cause any damage to it, on the contrary, the crystal was releasing the energy of death all the time.

Rhodes knew that this was the prop he was looking for, the crystal of the dead.

The Revenant Crystal will release the energy of death all the time. Based on this characteristic, whether it is transforming undead creatures or improving the rank of undead creatures, it can have a very good effect.

This kind of props is generally common in Diya, favored by necromancers, and expensive. Just like the piece in Rhodes' hand, even if it is damaged, the energy contained in it is not much left, and it takes hundreds of gold coins to obtain it.

Really high purity soul crystal, thousands of gold coins are difficult to obtain.

Revenant Crystals are produced in small quantities, mostly in cursed crystal mines. How to mass-produce soul crystals has always been the subject of research by necromancers.

Putting the soul crystal into the space ring, Rhode led the vampire and walked towards the forest according to the records on the map.

After leaving the tomb when he woke up, the direction that Rhodes walked was the same as the direction Elliot returned.
