The 230th chapter was sealed (1)
Chapter 230 The Sealed Place (1)
"puff!!"
Dark green blood splashed out, falling on the ground and bursts of white smoke rose.
"Carry it off and let's move on."
Rhode put away his long sword, ignored the gazes of the mercenaries around him, and issued an order very calmly. The mercenaries were stunned for a moment, and then they began to clean up the huge corpses in panic.
Originally, these mercenaries thought that at most they would encounter a bunch of goblins and other things in the ruins, but when they really stepped into this place, they realized that they were facing an existence they had never seen before - without goblins and huge underground spiders, and replaced by some creatures they had never seen before. They looked like lizards, but there were absolute differences, that is, these lizards were like humans, relying on two legs to walk. Not only that, they could even use some primitive weapons.
If it were just like this, then these mercenaries would not be too surprised. After all, there are many strange races living underground, and this lizardman may be one of them. However, the gems inlaid on their foreheads conveyed another message to these mercenaries--these lizards are not naturally generated races.
When they first came into contact with these lizard men, the unprepared mercenaries suffered some small losses. The average height of these lizard men was more than two meters, strong in figure and strong in strength. Although they did not wear armor, the smooth scales were enough to slide away the mercenaries' swords. It was precisely because of this that the mercenaries were unable to react at the first time at the beginning. It was not until Rhodes quickly issued an order to change their combat methods that the situation became much more balanced.
But even so, what surprised the mercenaries the most was their own regiment commander, Rhodes.
Faced with these monsters that were more than two meters tall, Rhodes flew past them like a shadow. Many times, the mercenaries only felt a flash in front of them, and then these huge creatures fell to the ground. What's even more strange is that when the mercenaries checked the bodies, they could not find any wounds. They didn't know how Rhodes killed these monsters.
"Cabos?"
"Ah, yes, sir!"
After hearing Rhode's inquiry, Cabos came to his senses. Then he quickly issued an order. Soon, the mercenaries took out their daggers and knives, came to the huge corpses, and dug out the gems on their foreheads. This was exactly what Rhode asked them to do. Although these strange lizard men looked poor and had no spoils, the gems on their foreheads seemed to be able to be sold at a high price.
Retracting his gaze from his subordinates, Rhode raised his head and looked at the ruins in front of him again.
Unlike the Black Pine ruins, the remains of the Unicorn Peak are even older and dilapidated. Apart from some stone stairs, there are no artificial relics at all. Even the murals and sculptures have long been sealed under layers of dust and vines. This made Rhodes worried that if things really were as they thought, wouldn’t it take a long time to achieve the goal?
If this is the case, then this time it may be a little bit unworthy of the loss.
But what surprised him was that according to Qilian's report, the Ofinians did not start to clean up the remains as Rhodes had expected to record. Although they occasionally did this, according to Qilian's observation, these Ofinians seemed to do it occasionally and do it by the way, and it seemed that they were looking for something.
This news surprised Rhodes a little. Could it be that his idea was wrong? The information on the construction and equipment renovation was not hidden on the murals of the ruins, but was placed in a hidden lost treasure chest? But this is unscientific. The sealed ruins under the Unicorn Peak, Rhodes led his team to pass through the team for less than 100 or 80 times. He knew all the equipment here. If they could really make a design drawing for the construction and equipment renovation here, why bother to flatten the other person's Overia later?
But these Ofinians have always been in the Three Treasures Temple for no reason. If they are willing to come to this ghost place, it means that there is indeed what they want here.
But another possibility is not ruled out, that is, the design drawing of the construction and refining is not intended to be given to the players. According to the current game time, it is still in the middle of the public beta. Most players cannot even recognize the places in the Dragon Soul Continent, and it is not cost-effective to run into the ruins of the deep mountains and forests. (") Moreover, the Dragon Soul Continent is the only truly "real-time" online game, which means that the NPCs in the game live like ordinary people. They will also work, live or take risks when you are not paying attention to it - of course, most NPCs will be resurrected even if they die for various reasons, but this is just to consider the player's creativity.
So when players are busy getting familiar with this continent, NPCs come here to take risks and then take away the design drawings for construction and equipment. There are many similar NPC exclusive tasks and props in the game, and Rhodes is not surprised by this.
But if this is the case, Rhodes would have to change his plan. Originally, he had to worry about the Overnians to avoid the disconnection between the sweeping team he led from the back. But now, if they are really looking for something, then they don’t need to wait for them. As long as they directly clean up all these monsters, there will be no problem.
In addition, Qilian also reported another thing to Rhodes—that is, Labis's situation became more and more strange. After entering the ruins, the girl seemed to have become a puppet without self-awareness and manipulated by others. If Qilian hadn't watched them, she wouldn't know where she would have gone.
Rhodes can only see Labis's situation now, and there is no particularly good way. After all, he is not a robot and does not understand the three laws - it's too far-fetched. As a non-alchemy race, he is not very clear about Labis's situation now, so he has no other way except to be sure to keep a close eye on Labis's.
After all, I have more things to do now.
"keep going."
Retracting his thoughts, seeing that the mercenaries had harvested the gems above the lizards' heads, Rhode calmed down, then took a deep breath, and then gave an order. Then, he pulled out his sword and continued to walk forward.
Only a faint light was flashing in the dark passage. Outside the torches held by the mercenaries and the lanterns hung around their waists, only the luminous plants growing on the tunnels were still emitting cold light. Of course, Rhodes did not forget to let his people be farther away from these luminous things. According to common sense on the earth, most of the things that can shine automatically are not good...
In the quiet passage, there was nothing outside the chaotic footsteps of the mercenaries.
But Rhodes did not let go of the "hiss" hidden in the darkness.
"Cabos, get ready, left!"
Accompanied by Rhode's instructions, Kavos waved his hand suddenly, and soon, under his leadership, several torches were thrown out by the mercenaries. With the flash of the flames, the darkness retreated like a tide, and then the huge body of the lizard man that was originally hidden and smashed into it was revealed.
"attack!"
The sudden light surprised the lizards people. They did not expect that they would be discovered by the enemy in this situation. Faced with the firelight that suddenly appeared in front of them, the lizards who had been living in the dark world underground could naturally not bear such light. They instinctively reached out to cover their eyes, and at the same time made a unique hissing sound from cold-blooded reptiles in response. And taking this opportunity, Kavos rushed up with his subordinates. At the beginning, Kavo
Si would also choose to use crossbows to entertain these monsters, but after Rhode's point, he soon found that the arrows shot by the crossbows could not penetrate the smooth scales of the lizard man. Instead of doing so, it would be better to fight close together and then start from their weakest abdomen. So when he saw the lizards in chaos, Kavos immediately pulled out his swords and greeted his subordinates, and then rushed towards the chaotic lizard man with the unique keenness and rapidity of the thief.
But Rhodes was faster than him.
Cabos only felt a black shadow flashing by the corner of his eyes. In the next moment, what he saw was Rhode suddenly appeared at the feet of the Lizardman. At the same time, he raised his sword and made a forward stab. But in the next moment, the wooden stick raised by the Lizardman passed through Rhode's afterimage and smashed heavily on the ground. At the same time, the Lizardman, who had lost his life, tilted his head and fell directly.
This was a scene that was deeply impressed by Cabos. Rhodes's speed was even shocked by this professional thief. He could not even keep up with Rhode's movement trajectory, and could not even fully and accurately judge the other party's real-time position. Whenever Cabos saw Rhode, all he could find was the afterimage left by Rhode, and where he was, it is unknown.
There were more than 30 lizard men ambushing in the corner, but Rhodes erased ten lizard men in just a moment. The remaining lizard men waved simple wooden sticks and fought with the mercenaries into a group. Their powerful strength and slender tails were very dangerous weapons for the mercenaries. In addition, these cold-blooded reptiles Kobe looked much smarter. They even knew how to defend themselves and prevent the mercenaries from attacking easily.
"Drink!!"
A mercenary screamed and waved his two-handed sword, but before his two-handed sword was inserted into the lizardman's soft abdomen, the hard wooden stick blocked its way. For a moment, the fire was everywhere, and the reaction force from the sword made the mercenary even feel the palm of his hand numb. Before he could react, the wind sounded suddenly in his ears, and then the next moment, the lizardman's slender tail hit the mercenary heavily and pulled him away directly.
"Wooah!!"
The unprepared mercenary was slapped heavily onto the wall. The hard touch, impact and pain behind him even made him feel like he was about to vomit his internal organs. Just as he was struggling to get up, he was frightened to find that the lizard man had already rushed to his side and raised the wooden stick in his hand.
Has it ended here?
Looking at the thick wooden stick, the mercenary felt a chill in his heart.
A black shadow flashed.
Rhode easily jumped onto the lizardman's shoulder like a spirit bird. The bright red cry in his hand passed through the thin air. The translucent sword blade flew past the lizardman's neck in an instant with Rhode's movement. In less than two seconds, Rhode had already jumped up and rushed into the battle group like a ghost again.
Until this time, the lizard man, who had his life harvested and still maintained his movements, fell to the ground, and the huge wooden stick in his hand passed through the air and hit the mercenary heavily. This made him feel excited. However, soon after he realized the truth of the matter, the mercenary immediately jumped up cheerfully, then raised his weapon and rushed towards another lizard man who was attacking his companion.
The battle is far from over.
