Chapter 81 Deep into the Highlands
After a while of rest, everyone finally recovered their spirits and walked into the depths of the dense forest under the leadership of Rhodes.
There was no sound in the quiet forest.[]
Even the sound of stepping on fallen leaves and dead trees while walking will soon disappear into darkness. Even the light belt in the sky is looming at this moment. This is the junction between the guardian area of the Dragon Soul of Light and the Dragon Soul of Darkness, and it is also one of the darkest places for the people of light. Here, darkness and light are no longer as distinct as before. They are integrated and inseparable from each other.
"Then, there's someone there!"
Suddenly a spirit master jumped up, stretched out his hand with a pale face to point to the side, and saw a pale face floating there in the forest not far away, staring at them quietly.
"Don't worry about these guys and keep moving forward."
Rod didn't even glance at him and continued to walk forward, while the spirit master was obviously hesitant.
"But those evil spirits..."
"If you don't care about them, they won't care about you."
Rhode now feels like he is leading a team of newcomers who have just entered the game. He screams and is frightened when he sees something. Especially those female players, he has seen any performance when they first came to this place, some are indifferent, some are determined, and some are screaming, and some are frightened. Rhode was willing to speak out at the beginning, but later he brought more newcomers, so he was lazy to waste time on it. Anyway, he was scared by himself, so he was so uneasy here. When you really entered the high ground, you wouldn't be scared to faint?
"But, but..."
Seeing Rod's indifferent look, the spirit master was obviously very dissatisfied. In her opinion, the evil spirits are the enemy of the living. If such a living person is walking here, will they not attack? What's more, there are not one or two evil spirits hidden in the woods. The more they walk inside, the more evil spirits there will be on both sides. They flashed silently in the forest. The desire for life revealed in their already dead eyes is terrifying.
As the number of evil spirits increased, even Marlene, Lijie and Old Walker couldn't help but become nervous. They looked around with vigilance, fearing that these immortal evil spirits would suddenly rush out and surrounded them and eat them. The four spirit masters were even more scared and could hardly walk. If they hadn't dared to delay because Rhodes had walked too fast, they would have been so scared that they would have been unable to walk.
Among these people, only Rhodes and Serek remain calm. The former knew that they would not be attacked by these evil spirits. Although they seemed to be huge now, they were just a false image. To put it bluntly, they would do the strong on the outside and do the middle. Don’t pay attention to them, they would not dare to attack you. But if you can’t support this pressure and collapse, then they would really become threatening.
This is why Rhodes let Serek press the end. If anyone among these spiritual masters can't stand such fear and want to escape, at least this swordsman can stop her from seeking death.
However, it seems that these spirit masters are a little better than Rhodes imagined. Although they were so scared that their faces were pale and their legs were weak, no one fell behind until they walked out of this area. This has greatly improved Rhode's evaluation of these spirit masters in his heart. To be fair, even if these real spirit masters are fragile, they are indeed much stronger than players. After all, they have truly seen dead people and their psychological qualities are strong enough. And in the game? Although the players have received so much information all day long, they think they are not afraid of anything after seeing them. What about the result? When the real dead people appear in front of them, they are not much better than the people they once laughed at.
At least this problem will not occur here.
Rhode waved the hilt of his sword and swept away the branches blocking his eyes. Then, a dreamy scene appeared in front of him.
The forest was like a curtain covering the background behind the stage. Now, the curtain has been lifted up, and the scenery inside has finally appeared in front of people.
The rolling high ground stretched forward, and dilapidated, incomplete weapons, equipment and carriages could be seen everywhere on the flat grass.
A long time ago, there was a fierce war here. The people of light and darkness fought for the highland for two hundred years. During these two hundred years, countless people died here, and their bodies and blood became existence under the soil of the highland, but they did not return to nothingness.
No one knows what is the mystery of the dividing line between life and death, light and darkness. Even the successors of the dragon soul of light and darkness may not be able to answer this question. However, the impact it caused exists. Above this tangible dividing line, the souls of the dead are called out again, and they wander on this land, as if they are constantly fighting, as if they want to continue this war to the eternal other shore.
And what is presented to Rhodes at this moment is such a scene.
On the surface, this high ground is not at all crowded, only traces of light move between the darkness. Suddenly, the entire high ground is like a dance hall, full of black and white halos. But only when you look carefully, you will find that on the quiet high ground that looks like no one, whenever the halo is shining past, several figures of fighting each other will appear. They hold weapons, shout loudly, and attack bravely without fear of death.
Just before Rhodes' eyes, a warrior with arrows all over his body climbed up, with only white bones left on his face, but his open mouth and roar revealed his anger. Seeing Rhodes, the warrior raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards him, but he had just run to the other party. After the halo disappeared, there was no one in the high ground shrouded in darkness.
It seemed as if it was just a fantasy drama just now.
This is the most difficult part of the silent highland and the place that makes many players trouble - the appearance of the immortal monsters here is very random. Only when the light shines on them will these immortal monsters appear and launch an attack. But when there is no light and everything returns to darkness, there is nothing left.
Some players have also thought of moving forward by hiding in the dark by avoiding light, but the actions of these lights are completely random and unpredictable. When those undead creatures sense you, they will pounce on you and attack. Then you will naturally block it. If at this time, a light suddenly shines into the middle of your team...
Be good at running away from the corpse.
The black curtain of the mage cannot play any role here. The darkness here is not ordinary darkness. It is even different from the darkness of the Kingdom of Night. The dark shadow here is a foreign object produced after it merges with light, and it cannot be described in words.
So how to do it? This is actually not a difficult choice for many players.
The best way to avoid passivity is to master the initiative.
"Lijie, divine light."
Rhodes made a gesture.
A ball of light filled with divine power immediately emerged from the girl's hands and then illuminated the surroundings.
The warrior who had just raised his sword to attack Rhode appeared in front of him again with the light. It roared and raised its sword, but before it could be swung it down, Rhode threw it out, and the fierce sword wind instantly rolled it up, then fell heavily to the ground and shattered. Then, the already incomplete and scarred corpse turned into dust and gradually disappeared under the caress of the breeze.
"I think you've seen with your own eyes how dangerous this place is."
Rhode turned around and said to everyone behind who had different expressions. Lijie and other mercenaries were naturally serious. They were not fools. Rhode specially demonstrated in front of them. Now these people already know that the ghost place of the Silent Highland is indeed not a false reputation. Even if it is a fully armed mercenary group, I am afraid that they would not dare to come to this ghost place!
"But you don't have to worry about these lights and when enemies will appear. I can tell you with certainty that from now on, the enemies will appear in all directions of us!"
Rhodes swung his sword again without looking back, and the silver-white moon blade whizzed by, and immediately a group of undead creatures attracted by the light were split into two and fell to the ground.
"So, I ask you to concentrate all the time, Walker, you pay more attention to the back, Marlene, Lijie, I ask you to pay attention to the left and right sides, Anne, your first priority is to protect them, remember, you can't stop, God knows how many undead creatures here will be. As long as we can pass this high ground, you will win. So you must always be consistent with us, do you understand?"
"Understand, leader."
At this moment, Anne still looked extremely relaxed. She smiled and answered Rhode's order, and even waved her hand. This made the others lose their strength in their eyes. - Does this lady really understand the current situation?
Especially those spiritual masters, you should know that they originally hoped that this shield warrior could protect them. But looking at her now, for some reason, those spiritual masters had no confidence in this girl at all - although they didn't have much.
If Serek hadn't been on the side, they might have already stepped down now.
"Come with me."
As he said that, Rhode took the first step.
The next scene will be unforgettable for many people.
They saw the flawless light dispelling the darkness of the highlands. Then, hundreds of undead creatures fighting fiercely appeared from it. While sensing the light, they seemed to have agreed in advance and stopped fighting at the same time. Then they roared loudly and rushed towards Rhodes and others!
That's it.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Serek's eyes changed. When he was in the trial of the high ground, the one who remembered him the most was the one who appeared under the dark curtain, as if endless. Although the truly endless army also made people look a little desperate, you can at least use your own eyes to confirm how many people there are around you. But here, you will never see how many enemies there are. This feeling of exhaustion is a great enemy. Because of this, many people have completely collapsed without being able to persevere here.
There is nothing more terrifying than seeing hope.
So what should Rhodes do?
Thinking of this, Serek suddenly became a little expectant. While focusing on the rear, he looked at the battlefield ahead, wanting to see how this young man could do what he said was "not too much pressure".
What made Serek feel strange was that Rhodes was not nervous when facing these undead creatures, he just snapped his fingers.
"Lijie, right ahead, the group is healed."
"Okay, Mr. Rhode!"
While maintaining the sacred light in his hand, Lijie stretched out her left hand, and soon, a flawless waterfall of light fell from the sky, surrounding the undead creatures.
"The same is true for you, the same location! All covered!"
Although the spirit masters were a little surprised when they heard Rhode's orders, they still followed Rhode's words, raised their hands, and performed group healing techniques forward.
I saw pure white halos unfolding among the undead creatures, but their originally agile and flexible movements became much slower at this moment. After all the spiritual masters released a round of group healing, the undead creatures, which were originally fierce, were now acting like an old lady without teeth, unable to even walk...
"Marin, Lightning Chain."
The leaping light flew out from the girl's fingertips and fell into the undead in an instant.
At first, it was just a faint flash, and then the dazzling lightning suddenly spread, jumping past the undead creatures, forming a large net to cover them. After a series of dull explosions, hundreds of undead creatures fell to the ground, and then there was no sound.
"this…………"
Marin looked at everything in front of her in amazement, and even looked at her fingers in disbelief. You must know that the Lightning Chain is the lowest-level group spell. It is not powerful in itself, and it will become weaker after it is dispersed. Originally, Marin thought Rhode would let her cast powerful spells such as lightning balls to solve these enemies, but now... she really doubts that it was a group of undead creatures or a group of shoddy scarecrows?
Is there such a way?
Serek, who was behind, was also secretly shocked at the moment. Of course, he knew that those high-level spirit masters and soul knights could use the holy light to destroy the undead creatures, but now, these spirit masters can actually achieve the same effect? No, this may not be correct. After all, the high-level spirit master's judgment hammer and the soul knight's sanction light can make any undead creatures go to ashes in an instant, but the only thing these ordinary spirit masters can do is to reduce their abilities and speed - but this is also very good.
Thinking of this, Serek couldn't help but look at Rhodes.
How did this young man know this method?
Not only Serek, but in fact, those spiritual masters were also surprised at the moment. Just like Lijie at the beginning, they were extremely surprised that they could have such a obvious impact on the undead creatures. Some even looked at their hands with confusion, wondering if they were dreaming.
Unfortunately, now Rhodes slapped them and let them know that they were in the real world.
"Now you all know how to do it, let's keep moving forward."
Looking at another group of undead creatures that appeared under the light curtain, Rhode raised the long sword in his hand.
