Chapter 71 Bone Wrestling 1
Rhodes led the undead creatures under his command to the mayor's mansion.
As he got closer to the mansion, Rhodes felt a strong aura of death.
The aura of death was released from the inside of the mansion to the surroundings. This aura was far beyond what Rhode had felt before. Rhode knew that the mayor must have prepared something inside the mansion.
Although he had felt the abnormality in the mansion before, Rhode did not take it to heart. At this time, the surrounding death atmosphere was undoubtedly reminding Rhode how powerful the enemy inside the mansion was.
At present, because the ghosts occupy a lot of Rhodes' spiritual attributes, only the last 0.3 of Rhodes' spiritual attributes are left. And Rhode's mana is also not much left, just enough to cast the last magic arrow, which will not have any key impact on the battle.
Rhodes knew that if he wanted to capture this mansion, he had to rely on the undead creatures he controlled.
Leading the surrounding undead creatures, Rhodes came to the front of the mansion.
The gate of the mansion was closed, and a little spark remained around, but it did not continue to burn, but maintained its shape.
From the ground aside, Rhode picked up the torch that the walking corpse was holding, and lit the torch with the flames burning in the yard.
Rhodes handed the burning torch to a ghost on the side, and let it try to use the torch to ignite the outer wall of the mansion.
The ghost took the torch and came to the front of the mansion. The ghost brought the torch in his hand close to the mansion, but there was no change, and the flames did not ignite the walls of the mansion.
Seeing this, Rhodes can be regarded as confirming the thoughts in his heart.
As early as when the necromancer cast the wall of fire, Rhodes noticed the anomaly here.
It stands to reason that the fire wall will dissipate after the duration is reached, but since the flames are generated at the entrance of the mansion, the walls around the mansion will burn.
However, the situation was different from what Rhodes expected. After the wall of fire disappeared, the flames next to it also disappeared, which did not affect the mansion at all, but there were still some sparks in the courtyard in front of the mansion.
However, Rhodes did not have any other ideas. Using the torches was only to confirm what he had seen before, and Rhodes had this preparation in his heart.
Ahead, a ghost followed Rhodes' instructions and came to the gate of the mansion.
The ghost stretched out his hand and pushed it, and the door slowly opened, revealing the deep space inside the mansion. Taking this opportunity, Rhode looked towards the interior of the mansion.
There are some candlesticks on the walls of the mansion, and the candles are burning at this time, illuminating the surrounding scenes. In addition, there are no restrictions on the road into the mansion, as if waiting for Rhodes to arrive.
Rhode let the ghosts around him enter first, and behind the ghosts were the ghosts controlled by Rhodes. Rhodes followed these ghosts around and entered the mansion together.
In order to deal with possible raids, Rhodes kept the vampires by his side. Once in danger, the vampires could step forward as soon as possible so that Rhodes could react.
Before stepping into the gate of the mansion, Rhodes had a flash of thought in his heart, and that was to leave with these undead creatures around him. Since this trip has already yielded a lot, plus the map to the City of Screaming, Rhodes can leave directly without fighting the mayor.
According to the strength shown by the mayor, if Rhode chooses to leave, the mayor will definitely not be able to keep Rhode.
However, Rhodes did not want to leave just like that. As Rhodes realized from the very beginning, every battle is an opportunity to increase his strength.
Rhodes has seen a lot of the mayor's methods. What makes Rhode uncertain are only the undead creatures hidden in the mansion and the spells mastered by the mayor. These are the possible problems in the battle with the mayor.
Even if he didn't understand these circumstances, Rhodes had a general understanding of the mayor's comprehensive strength. If you choose to leave easily at this time,
Undoubtedly, the opportunity that belongs to him is lost in vain.
Following the undead creatures beside him, Rhodes entered the mayor's mansion. The interior of the mansion is relatively spacious, enough for the undead creatures beside Rhodes to fight here.
Just after entering the mansion, Rhode's eyes locked on a house inside the mansion. This house was the place where Rhode felt abnormal when he first came to the mansion to test.
At this time, the mansion was filled with a strong aura of death, and the concentration of the aura of death was far beyond what Rhode had previously perceived. And the source of these death energies is also the house that Rhode is looking at.
As early as the first time he came to the mansion to test, Rhodes felt the energy of death here, but it was far less intense than it is now.
Even when Rhodes fought the necromancer, he did not feel this death energy around the mansion. If Rhodes noticed the abnormality at that time, he would not have shot at the Necromancer immediately.
Rhode realized that the surrounding death energy was created by the mayor while he was fighting the necromancer.
The undead creature beside Rhode also felt the energy of death around him, and began to have some agitation. Rhode used the mental mark in time to suppress the agitation of the undead creature.
With the surrounding undead creatures, Rhode walked towards the abnormal room.
On the side, the ghost who had tried to set the mansion on fire was still holding a torch. Rhodes sent the ghost to the door of the room and let the ghost try to ignite the surrounding objects.
There is some kind of paint on the walls outside the mansion, which isolates the flames, so that the flames cannot burn on the walls, but there must be no such paint on the objects inside the mansion, which cannot resist the burning of the flames.
Rhodes let the ghosts set these items on fire, just to set the mansion on fire from the inside.
Because he didn't know the strength of the undead creatures hidden inside the mansion, coupled with the mayor's other means, Rhode did not dare to go forward to fight the mayor directly, but still wanted to use the flames to give himself an advantage.
If the mansion can be set on fire from the inside, the hidden undead creatures can be forced out.
The ghost came to the front of the door that Rhodes pointed to, and was about to ignite the door with a torch. Suddenly, a black shadow penetrated the corner of the door, shot out from the door, and hit the ghost instantly.
The shadow hit the ghost and dented the cloth robe in front of the ghost.
The ghost's body trembled after being hit by this impact, but it adjusted in an instant, and was about to fight back against the shadow. The shadow quickly protruded out, circled around the ghost, and at the same time quickly exerted force to push the ghost to the rear. Pulled over sharply.
The ghost slammed into the wooden door directly, making a loud noise, and even Rhodes behind him could hear it clearly.
At this time, another black shadow shot out, breaking a hole above the door, and the position corresponding to this hole was the ghost's head.
In an instant, in Rhodes' perception, the spirit imprint of the ghost dissipated.
From the time when the ghost was about to set the door on fire, to when he was attacked to death by this shadow, it only happened in an instant.
Although the surrounding undead creatures reacted and prepared to attack, but under the control of Rhodes, these undead creatures did not move, but waited in place.
Just as the shadow in the room attacked the ghost, Rhodes also saw the appearance of the shadow, which was a huge vine, with the light from the torch in the ghost's hand.
I don't know if it was because of the light. In the dark, because there was only a little firelight to provide vision, the vines showed a bright red under the light of the firelight.
At this time, due to the death of the ghost, the torch fell to the ground, and the vine went directly over the door and violently beat the torch on the ground. The vibration spread to Rhode's feet, and the vines directly extinguished the flame.
After the flames were extinguished, the vines retracted into the door, as if nothing had happened, and the surroundings were silent.
At the door of the room, apart from the dead ghost and the broken door, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Although he lost a ghost in an instant, Rhode did not feel it was worthless. The ghost used its life to let Rhodes see the abnormality in the mansion.
Rhodes knew that the enemy in front of him was stronger than he expected. The vine dared to directly beat the torches that fell to the ground, indicating that it has a certain resistance to flames.
This could not help but make Rhodes change his original plan. Rhodes originally planned to use the flames to force the mayor out of the dark, but due to the power displayed by the vines, Rhodes had to give up this idea.
Rhodes looked at the space in the room. The interior of the room was dark. Rhodes could not know what was inside, but could only feel the strong energy of death.
Because he saw part of the enemy's body, Rhodes also had some ideas about the vines, but Rhodes still didn't know the overall situation of the enemy. To defeat the previous vines, Rhodes needed to obtain more information.
Thinking of the power shown by the vines, coupled with the terrain restrictions here, if Rhode insists on letting all the undead creatures under his command swarm, there will be a lot of damage under the attack of the vines, plus the town lurking in the mansion. For a long time, even if they swarmed up, these undead creatures could hardly play any role.
Rhodes knew that he could not attack by force, and could only use other methods to break through the mayor's mansion.
At this time, the vampire beside Rhodes stepped forward and came to the door of the house. According to Rhodes' instructions, the vampire was ready to step forward to test the vines.
Because the overall difference between the ghost and the ghost is not big, but the basic attributes are relatively high, it is still difficult to resist the attack of this kind of vine, so Rhodes did not send the ghost to test the vine.
Unlike vampires, vampires focus on survival. Although they are still in the third-order, their bat transformation skills can effectively avoid the attack of such vines.
Compared with the ghost, the vampire's consciousness is clearer. Although he can't tell Rhodes accurately through language, he can express the general content to Rhodes through the mental imprint.
Therefore, Rhodes let the vampire come forward to test.
In the previous battle with the necromancer, Rhodes just let the vampire hold the ghost. At this time, the vampire's bat transformation skill still retains a large number of uses.
The vampire came out of the room, and the vine shot straight out of the door again.
Since the vampire had seen how the ghost was killed by the vines before, there was an early warning in his heart. Facing the attacking vines, the vampire directly dodged to the side, trying to avoid the impact of the vines.
However, after this vine hit the air, another vine shot directly from the side. Just as the vampire was dodging, the tip of the vine turned, and the vampire couldn't dodge in time, and was directly wrapped around the body by the vine.
The vampire tried to use his sharp claws to cut open the vines on his body, but because the vines were huge as a whole, although the vampire ripped apart some of the vines wrapped around his body, he couldn't break free for a while.
At this time, another vine next to him also wrapped around the vampire, and then pulled the vampire towards the door. At the same time, the next vine shot straight out of the door at the vampire's head. The original ghost was directly killed by the cooperation between the vines.
In the face of the vines coming directly, the vampire had to choose bat in order to avoid being seriously injured when the vampire was entangled by two vines.
The strength of the vine's entanglement loosened, and the vampire originally pulled by the vine turned into a black mist. Due to the sudden and direct loss of the entanglement target, the vines shrank toward the black mist in the middle, but it had no effect.
Another vine struck past, but it only passed through the black fog, causing no damage to the vampire.
The bats jumped out of the black fog and directly bit the vines that were close at hand. In addition, many bats flew towards the interior of the room according to Rhodes' instructions.
At this moment, the vines began to twitch frantically, slapping themselves on the ground and the surrounding walls, destroying the bats hanging and biting on them. The entire mansion was shaken violently by the slaps of the vines.
In an instant, a large number of bats biting the vine died, and a large amount of black mist erupted on the vine. The bats flying into the room were equally uncomfortable. It seemed that there were still such vines inside, killing the bats directly.
Due to the extremely wide vines and their violent beatings, most of the bats transformed by the vampires died in a short period of time. After the number of bats lost reached a certain level, the remaining bats retreated towards the door.
Just as the bat retreated, the vines caught up and began to frantically beat the bat in the air.
Since the bats retreated at this time, the vines could only swipe a few times quickly, and then as if they had reached the maximum distance, the bats that could not reach the air could only hit the ground a few times, and finally retracted towards the room.
The bats gathered beside Rhodes, and as a black mist surged past, the figure of the vampire appeared.
Rhodes stretched out his hand, the vampire put an item in Rhodes' hands, and Rhodes looked down.
With the original candlelight inside the mansion, Rhodes could clearly see the item in his hand. It looks like a small white bone, but it is not as hard as a bone. On the contrary, it has good toughness and is easy to bend. Rhodes tried it, but couldn't tear it off with his own strength.
The thing that the vampire handed over to Rhode was the part of the vine that was ripped off from the vine before the vampire bat turned into a bat. It was part of the tissue on the vine.
