The sharp ice thorns and the golden heavy shield collided with each other. The Ice Demon had no idea that anyone could resist the attack he had put in full force. The huge recoil force came, which immediately made its overwhelmed body even more stagnant. At this time, Mafa, who heard Annie's shout, suddenly accelerated forward with the mercenaries. They almost relied on the ice demon's body to come behind it. Then the mercenaries raised their swords high and then slashed them down hard.

Several gorgeous and dazzling sword light flashed through the air, and bright red flames flowed down the sword and pounced towards the straight and tense tail. With a fierce wail, the ice demon's long tail suddenly broke down. The ice demon who was hit hard finally no longer had the ferocity and power it had before. It began to shake left and right in a mess, and the sense of balance that lost its tail support was completely broken at this moment. Then the ice demon tilted his body and fell heavily to the ground again. However, it obviously did not intend to give up. While it screamed like a trapped beast, the ice demon rolled and struggled to try to stand up again. It raised its head, and the Yuan light in its eyes was never as bright as it is now. Even at that moment, even the light of the sun was faded.

But, it was only that moment.

A dazzling meteor passed by the horizon, and Rhodes turned into a beautiful ray of light, falling from the sky, the daggers in his hand staggered forward, and then he dived down.

For the mercenaries, they may never forget the scene in front of them.

The terrifying, huge monster raised its head and opened its mouth to make a heart-shaking roar. At the same time, a beam of light shining from the sky, piercing through the ice demon's head without bias. The huge impact force mixed with a whirlwind spread out in all directions. Its speed was so fast that it even surpassed the ice demon's reaction. The meteor flashed down and passed through the center of the ice demon's head. Then, with the ice demon as the center, the surrounding ice layer sank, forming a huge depression dozens of meters wide. At this time, the ice demon still maintained a erect posture, time seemed to condense at this moment, and after a while, the monster's huge body fell heavily to the ground like a punched by an invisible big hand, losing its voice.

"The Holy Soul is on..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, the mercenaries couldn't help but subconsciously held their breath. Although they knew that Rhodes had powerful power, at this moment, this power was expressed in the most intuitive and barbaric way. Under the thunder attack, everyone couldn't help but feel irresistible weakness and fear. If they were facing that attack, they would probably have no other choice except to close their eyes and wait for death.

However, the mercenaries' sighs lasted for only a moment, because in the next moment, Rhode's figure appeared in a mess in front of everyone. He didn't even have the time and energy to face the mercenaries' sighs, but quickly made a gesture to them and then whispered a low order.

"Go away!!"

And with Rhode's words, a low voice sounded like thunder rolling sounded from under the ice, and then huge cracks emerged from it.

Standing on the shore and looking at the frozen lake in front of him, Rhode couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Losing the influence of the Ice Demon's elemental power, this abnormal frozen lake finally began to change as it should have. The heavy ice layer began to break, melt, and floated in the already closed lake water. At this moment, the frozen lake was completely different from before. The broken floating ice floated in the lake water, and from time to time, you could see the huge ice layer falling off and falling into the lake water to stir up waves. If you just watch this scene, it would even make people mistakenly think that it was the Arctic Ocean. And while Rhode was leisurely admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, the voice of Mafa came beside him.

"Sir, is this over?"

Listening to the other party's inquiry, Rhode turned his head and saw that his subordinates were looking at him nervously and movingly. This scene even made Rhode a little dazed, as if he had returned to the game and led a group of rookies to conquer the dungeons, they also surrounded him like this, staring at him with nervous, dynamic and excited eyes. But soon, Rhode came to his senses and nodded to everyone.

"Yes, the mission is over and we succeeded."

“Oh oh oh !!!”

Hearing Rod's affirmative answer, the mercenaries suddenly screamed excitedly. They raised their arms high, and unprecedented joy and joy appeared on their faces. Even Lijie and the two spiritual masters around her couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene, looking at their companions who were celebrating freely.

No wonder these mercenaries were so excited. Although they had fought many monsters under the leadership of Rhodes, most of them were basically fighting soybeans at that time, and the main attack was initiated by people like Rhodes, Qilian and Celia. Of course, being able to win was naturally a good thing for the mercenaries, but they would feel a little regretful if they always played soybeans. Although Rhodes was still responsible for the main attack this time, these mercenaries did not just stare blankly and watch the show like before, but completely exerted their own strength in the battle. It was precisely because of their full efforts that these mercenaries were so excited and moved deep in their hearts.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhode nodded with satisfaction. This is the reason why he did not call Qilian this time. Although the Fire Yuan Lord was there, even a sealed Fire Yuan Lord, it would be completely no problem to restrain the ice demon in such a battle because of Yuan Xiang. However, Rhode did not do this, because he had discovered that if he only relied on the power of a limited number of people to complete each battle and task, it would not be a good thing for his subordinates, let alone they worked so hard under the training of Canary and Bubble, not to follow him to make soy sauce. And this time, Rhode did not bring Qilian to him, nor did he even summon Celia and Celestina, but just symbolically called the Hell Hound and the Soul Bird to express the fighting spirit of his subordinates.

As expected, seeing that several of the main men on weekdays are not here, these mercenaries perform better than ever before. Of course, although they are a little embarrassed in the face of the Ice Demon, it is not easy to be able to do this level. Although Rhodes attracted most of the Ice Demon's attention and was also the main attacker. However, if these mercenaries were not harassed by him and gave him time to concentrate on dealing with the Ice Demon, it would probably not be so easy to remove this monster. Through this battle, Rhodes also had more confidence in his subordinates. He could perform like this when facing the Ice Demon who was so much higher than them. In the future, some bosses of the same level could let them do it themselves.

After that, everyone returned to Green Tree Town again. This time, the townspeople's attitude towards them was completely different from before. After learning from the law enforcement officer that the monster that had plagued the entire Cranmer area for hundreds of years had finally disappeared, the townspeople showed unprecedented movement. Many people ran to the edge of the frozen lake, looking at the melting lake with tears in their eyes - those who once remembered that the frozen lake was frozen had already died, and now no one in the Cranmer area knew what it looked like under the heavy ice layer of the frozen lake, and now, they were finally able to get what they wanted.

Rhodes and his group, who defeated the Ice Demon, were naturally welcomed by the unprecedented warm hospitality of the Green Tree Town people. The mayor even held a grand celebration banquet in the town square, welcoming and thanking the heroes who defeated the monsters and brought hope to the Cranmer area again.

Although the townsmen had to drive them away with a fierce momentum, they were now a little unhappy to greet them with a smile on their faces. However, the mercenaries quickly abandoned this dissatisfaction. At the banquet, the mayor also expressed his apology to the mercenaries for their previous behavior on behalf of the town, so the mercenaries did not have much more, but quickly immersed in wine, food and flowers.

"It seems they have a lot of fun."

Rhodes sat by the window and looked at the banquet in the square not far away, with a smile appearing on his lips. He did not go to the banquet like everyone else, but rested alone in the hotel guest room. The reason for doing this was that in addition to Rhodes not liking to noisy places, there was another thing that was more important than attending a banquet in front of him.

"I haven't seen this familiar prompt for a long time."

Looking at the system prompt box that appeared in his eyes, Rhode couldn't help but murmur. Since responding to Lydia's call to go to the Parfield defense line, Rhode has never taken on any reliable tasks. To be honest, after coming to this world, Rhode is really a little confused about the task triggering mechanism. In the game, tasks like guarding the Parfield defense line should naturally be considered in the triggering mission mechanism. But it is completely different in this world. Most of the mission systems are not given, and only some tasks about fortress construction and upgrades, as well as related summoning swordsmen will be triggered by the system. Because of this, although Rhode can gain something on the Parfield front line, he has not gained any experience value or reward in the system. He finally triggered a "fire red rose." As a result, he ended up playing and a rare failure.

It is precisely because of this that after seeing the system prompts in front of him - 66 ->, Rhode sighed so much. However, he was not a literary youth after all. He just sighed for a moment and then calmed down and began to focus on the prompts in front of him, then reached out and pointed it lightly. Soon, a crisp and pleasant prompt sound rang out, and the system prompts were lined up.

66—>—

66—>—

66——>

This experience gives a lot of it.

Seeing the system prompt in front of him, Rhode whistled involuntarily. In fact, the reason why he cares about system tasks is so much. In this world, Rhode does not need to share experience with others. The experience after each task is completed will be exclusively enjoyed by himself. It is precisely because of this that Rhode's upgrade speed is so fast, almost a thousand miles a day. If you want to calculate based on the equal bonus experience in the game, Rhode will probably not advance to the level 40 master level field in such a short time. With the improvement of the level, the experience required is also increasing. If the Ice Lake mission is calculated based on equal spread, Rhode is probably only enough to upgrade to one level. But now, the experience of the entire team is exclusively owned by him, so at least two or three poles can be upgraded. This is a god-given opportunity for a player.

However, Rhodes did not immediately choose to upgrade, but instead focused on the part of the mission rewards-

66—>The rewards for the mission are divided into two categories. One of them is to open the channel of the water element plane and summon the low-level water element elves. Rhode had already made the idea of ​​this reward before, but after obtaining the magic world key in the random reward of the Caster Plateau ruins, this reward has been abandoned by Rhode. The sea elves summoned through the magic world key are obviously more reliable than those low-level water element elves. Rhode will naturally not be stupid and waste such a reward opportunity. So soon, he focused his attention on another option-

66——>

Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Rhode hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his finger and gently tapped the pattern on the card.

Soon, with Rhode's movement, the system in front of him turned into golden brilliances and merged together. Then, a card emerged from it and flipped and fell into Rhode's hands. It was completely different from the card Rhode had before. It was a card full of water blue, with white and complex patterns emerging at the edge, with a bit of coldness. And at the upper corner of the front of this card, a pure white "iii" came into view. Then, a series of systems appeared in Rhode's eyes in detail.

66—>—

66——>

Seeing the three words "growth rate", Rhode couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then he flipped over the card and saw that on the front of the card, there was a crystal clear crystal ball. In it, you could vaguely see a human-shaped shadow, but you could not see the other party's true face clearly. And below this card, there are two numbers 5 and 7.

Attack 5 and defense 7, it can be seen that this is a card that tends to be more defensive and healing. For Rhodes, this is a very satisfying result. At present, most of the cards in Rhodes' hands are mainly attack-based and do not have enough auxiliary and defensive cards, which is also a problem for Rhodes. The reason why Summoning Swordsmen can become one of the three single-handed professions is that Summoning Swordsmen supplements and replaces the power of a team by summoning Elf cards. A complete team, output, assistance, healing and flesh shield are essential. Now most of Rhodes' hands are output, only Centaur Knight and Nether Tentacles can be regarded as defensive cards, and there is no assist and healing at all.

Suddenly, this card seems quite similar to Qilian, but the two are completely different. Qilian's card attributes are extremely domineering, while the card attributes of the Ice Sorrow in front of him are relatively low. In terms of defense, it is not even as good as the initial attributes of the Netherworld Tentacle, and in terms of attack, it is only slightly higher than the Soul Bird. If this card is only this level, it is not considered a precious variety in the summoning card.

However, the three words growth rate on the card represent its extraordinaryness - which also means that this is a card that will grow. Instead of being awakened by the soul core, this card itself is a card created entirely by summoning swordsman.

Awakening and creation are completely different.

For example, summoning cards such as Qilian, Star Trace, and Nightmare can be improved by upgrading. Instead of upgrading, it is better to remove their seals and restore them to their original abilities and states. The values ​​and abilities presented when they reach the peak are the strength of these cards when they restore their true identities. It seems that the Soul Bird, Rhode, only upgrades once, and see that its miserable attack attribute value has only increased a little bit, and knows that its future is worrying. Even if it is completely upgraded three times, the Soul Bird will only increase the attack point by 3 points at most. This is a trace.

However, the cards created are completely different. They are like a newborn child who can't do anything except their own talent skills. How it grows depends entirely on how the summoner uses it. Because of this, the value of the created card is completely unfixed. When the first promotion, it is likely to greatly increase the defense value because the player focuses on defense. However, if the player concentrates on honing its offensive ability after this, then in the second promotion, its offensive damage value may even exceed the defense.

This is exactly the difference between creating a card and awakening a card.

This is really good luck.

Looking at the card in his hand, Rhode couldn't help but shrugging, then he put the card aside and began to instinctively read it down.

But at this moment, Rhodes' attention was suddenly attracted by a line of system prompts-

66——>

What is this?

After seeing the system prompts in this line, Rhode's curiosity was immediately mobilized. (To be continued)
