Chapter 27 Deadwood Warrior
Rhode took the vampire and walked through the jungle.
The light in the forest is relatively dark, and there are some dead branches and leaves under one foot. The surrounding trees were tall and tall, and Rhode saw at a glance that there were only five or six people hugging the trees, making it difficult to tell the direction.
Since there is no road in the forest, coupled with the lack of guidance of pathfinding, Rhodes has difficulty confirming the direction of his progress. Even with a map, Rhodes needs a reference to go to his chosen target.
According to the signs on the map, Rhodes is going to go to the nearest river first, and then follow the river to the nearby town.
Rhodes looked at the map in his hand. According to the records on the map, if you want to go straight to the river, you must pass a location with a danger sign.
Not knowing the specific surrounding environment or the enemies he might encounter, Rhode did not dare to go to the river at full speed, but instead took the vampire and observed the surrounding environment while moving forward.
Rhode, who has reconnaissance skills, is undoubtedly very comfortable in observing the surrounding environment. Although the speed of action is a little slower, there is no need to spend time on detours.
According to Rhodes' idea, the enemy that the apprentice Elliot was difficult to defeat did not mean that he could not defeat it either.
Going directly to the river, Rhodes can detect enemies in the distance through reconnaissance. If the enemy is strong, Rhodes can retreat directly, but if the enemy is weak, he can kill him.
Rhode estimated that even if he could control the vampire himself, even if he faced the original Elliot head-on, he would not necessarily fail. Successive victories gave Rhodes confidence and made him want to defeat an unknown enemy.
Along the way, although no abnormality was found, Rhodes never let go of his vigilance and did not move forward blindly, but always observed the surrounding environment.
As the distance from the tomb became farther and farther, the light in the forest became darker and darker. Rhode looked around, and the surrounding trees were unusually tall. The branches and leaves of the trees blocked the light, and Rhode had to walk between these big trees.
In the process of advancing, a few slanted trees caught Rhode's attention.
For some reason, the tall tree fell to the side, and the still sturdy trunk rested on other trees. The roots of the trees that were originally firmly attached to the ground were also sticking out of the ground at this time, and the roots were still stained with soil on the ground.
This unreasonable situation made Rhodes alert. Relying on the perception brought by the reconnaissance technique, Rhodes quickly observed the surroundings, but found nothing abnormal, so he had to move on.
After walking not too far, suddenly, as if he had discovered something, a strong sense of crisis emerged in Rhodes' heart, and Rhodes hurriedly took the vampire to hide behind a tree beside him.
The ground began to vibrate regularly, from far to near. In the forest, there was a sound of swaying branches and leaves, and the sound became louder and louder.
Rhodes knew that in the distance, the enemy of some kind of creature was approaching in his direction. The power it brought, even Rhodes hiding behind the tree, could not help but feel a palpitations.
The shaking of the ground is getting closer. The vampire can also feel the strength of the enemy, and the body behind the tree trembles violently.
A strong vibration came from the front of the tree, and Rhode understood that if there was no shelter from the tree in front of him, the enemy would have found himself.
The mental imprint was beating strongly, as if it was the instinct of a creature, and the vampire had a kind of fear. Rhodes could only force the vampire to stay still by manipulating the mental imprint, while restraining his own breath.
The vibration gradually moved away, and the enemy did not find Rhodes and the vampire, but walked towards the depths of the jungle.
The powerful enemy moved away, the vampire gradually calmed down, and Rhode still leaned back against the tree trunk, recalling the last enemy he saw.
At the last moment of the enemy's departure, Rhode quickly glanced in its direction, and with just one glance, through the appearance of the enemy, he determined the type of the enemy.
A body as tall as the surrounding giant trees,
A humanoid torso with dead wood-like lines on its skin...
Deadwood Warrior.
The shaking gradually subsided, but Rhode was still recalling the power brought by the enemy.
Fifth grade? Or higher?
Rhodes didn't know, but he knew that the enemy in front of him was far beyond his ability to deal with. If it wasn't for the dead wood warrior's inherent low perception, maybe he would have been discovered by it.
For ordinary people who are lost in the forest, deadwood warriors generally ignore them, and even help them leave the forest. But for necromancers, deadwood warriors don't have such a good temper. Rhodes doesn't think that he will have a good end after being discovered.
Fortunately, there is only one creature like the Deadwood Warrior in an area. Watching the enemy go away, Rhodes doesn't have to worry about encountering other dead wood warriors again.
With the vampire, Rhode continued in the direction of the dead wood warrior.
"Erie..."
Rhodes had certain ideas in his mind about the place he was in.
Before encountering the dead wood warrior, Rhodes roughly guessed where he was just by looking at the towering trees around him. At this time, after encountering the Deadwood Warrior, Rhodes finally decided that his location was exactly Eli.
Eli is ruled by elves, most of the territory is forest, and there are a large number of magical creatures in the forest, such as centaurs and dryads are common in Eli.
Among them, the dead wood warrior Rhodes saw was Eli's powerful guardian. Huge strength, coupled with strong vitality, makes Deadwood Warrior extremely difficult to deal with. Rhodes still remembered how these dead wood warriors looked like on the battlefield.
And the gathering place of the necromancer, Diya, is located on the edge of Eri, adjacent to the border of Eri. All creatures in Eri have always hated Necromancers. Necromancers must be extra careful in Eri. Once discovered, they will be hunted down by the native creatures of Eri.
Rhodes knew his approximate location, but he still didn't know the current period of the game.
If he can know the position and the current period at the same time, according to the mastery of the plot in his previous life, Rhodes can follow the general trend of the plot and gain the greatest advantage.
After advancing for a while, there was a damp feeling in the air, and as this feeling became stronger and stronger, Rhode knew that it was not far from the goal he decided at the beginning.
Finally, the occlusion of the leaves in front was reduced, the light was bright, and a river appeared in Rhode's line of sight. The sound of running water rang in Rhodes' ears, and Rhodes knew that he had found the river marked on the map.
According to the sign on the map, Rhodes' next goal is to go to the nearest town along the river.
When he came to the river, Rhode looked at himself in the water. He had short hair that was messy and could not see the color. The flowing river water could not show his specific appearance. Most of his face was stained with blood, and his clothes had long been scratched. , various scabbed scars on the body.
Rhodes smiled bitterly. He has basically been fighting since he came to this world, and he didn't have any time to organize himself. Taking advantage of the opportunity at this moment, he threw his torn clothes aside and came to the river to clean up.
