Just after Rhodes left, the flames quickly spread around, and even some nearby big trees were covered in flames.
When he realized that the palace mage would deal with the mountain fire, Rhodes planned to use this method to delay the palace mage's progress.
Rhodes, on the other hand, rushed towards the top of the cliff.
Rhodes didn't know whether the situation on this cliff was what he thought, but even if it was different, the worst outcome would be that all the undead creatures were destroyed, but Rhodes himself could escape from here by transforming into a bat.
When he reached the top of the cliff, Rhodes looked back and saw heavy smoke rising from the forest behind and filling the entire sky.
Although Rhodes could not see the clear light of the fire, the trend of the flames had expanded. Unless the court mage was willing to take action, it would be difficult to control it.
Due to his understanding of the nature of elves, Rhodes was very confident that the court mage would choose to deal with the mountain fire in the rear.
Rhodes no longer paid attention to the fire behind him, but instead set his sights on the other side of the cliff, in the cave under another cliff.
In the previous process, Rhodes only had a partial understanding of the cliffs here through the map, but he did not come here in person. On the contrary, the centaur leader followed Rhodes' request on the way to reach the cliffs first.
Rhodes chose to head to the cliff instead of escaping in a certain direction because he received a picture from the centaur leader in his spiritual imprint.
On this cliff, the centaur leader saw a huge cave under the cliff of the opposite cliff, very high from the ground. Although the centaur leader only saw this scene from here, he also immediately saw it. I sensed an unusual aura.
After confirming this picture, Rhodes suddenly felt more confident about what he was thinking. Therefore, Rhodes chose to let the centaur leader come to the cliff.
According to the scene seen before, the centaur led Rhodes to the cliff here. After searching quickly for a while, he finally found the cave he had discovered.
Rhodes looked towards the cliff opposite. There was a huge cave located roughly on the upper side of the cliff.
Compared to the volume of the entire cliff, this cave only occupies a smaller position. If the centaur leader hadn't discovered the anomaly in advance and noted the approximate location of the cave, Rhodes wouldn't have been able to easily discover it.
After becoming a death knight, the centaur leader's reconnaissance and eagle eye skills were retained, which also enabled him to detect anomalies on the opposite mountain cliff immediately.
By sensing the situation in the cave, Rhodes confirmed that this cave was exactly what he was looking for. The hope of defeating the court mage behind him existed in this cave.
At this time, on the road that Rhodes passed by, a large amount of rain fell from the sky, pouring on the location where the smoke was the thickest.
Rhodes knew that the court mage from behind had also arrived and was dealing with the fire in the rear. He didn't have much time left for him.
Since the cave is located under another cliff, Rhodes did not enter it through ordinary methods. Upon discovering this situation, Rhodes did not think of other methods, but jumped towards the opposite cliff.
Rhodes spotted the location of the cave. As he approached the height of the cave, black mist burst out from inside Rhodes' body in the air. In an instant, the original Rhodes turned into a large number of bats.
The bat flew rapidly towards the inside of the cave, blending into the dark cave and disappearing in an instant.
Above the cliff, the centaur leader was watching Rhodes enter the cave, without any emotion in his eyes.
Suddenly, the centaur leader turned around, looked behind him, and at the same time raised the weapon in his hand in a defensive posture.
At this time, the flames behind the cliff were extinguished a lot, and the rising smoke also contained a lot of gray mist.
As the rain fell, the flames behind the cliff were completely extinguished.
What the centaur leader sensed was the palace mage who gave up dealing with the fire and rushed over.
Through the eyeball pendant in his hand, the court mage also sensed Rhodes' movements. When he saw Rhodes heading to the cliff, the court mage realized something was wrong and had to quickly deal with the bone vine guards, and then immediately chased after Rhodes.
But at this time, the court mage was obviously late, as Rhodes had already entered the cave.
When the bat transformed by Rhodes entered the cave, the eyeball pendant worn by the court mage lost its original function and was completely unable to sense Rhodes' movements.
Realizing this, the palace mage's expression finally changed.
All along, even in the previous battles, the court mage has always looked calm. He will only show some expression when he is emotional. At this time, this expression can only mean that the situation is beyond his expectation. Anticipate.
On the side, the centaur leader did not wait for the court mage's opportunity to observe the surroundings, and instead began to attack the court mage. Due to the injuries on his body, the vampire recovered his body, but did not move at all.
At this time, after realizing Rhodes' behavior, the court mage did not intend to enter the cave like Rhodes. Instead, he raised his hand and released a bolt of lightning at the centaur leader in front.
The centaur leader used the axe to resist the lightning, but after the lightning hit the axe, it made a violent sound. Along the axe, half of the centaur leader's body was paralyzed.
Another ice pick was shot out, and while the body was paralyzed, the ice pick penetrated the centaur leader's body. Just this ice pick caused the centaur leader to be seriously injured.
The court mage was just about to release his spell and kill the centaur leader in front of him, but he seemed to feel something and ignored the centaur leader in front of him, but focused on the location of the cave.
A strong death energy emerged from inside the cave. In the palace mage's perception, a powerful undead creature appeared in the cave.
The entire cliff began to vibrate slightly. At this moment, the court mage finally confirmed Rhodes' behavior.
With a violent crash, an undead creature rushed out of the cave and then rose upwards.
Perhaps it had just been transformed, but this undead creature was not yet mature enough to control its body. When it rushed out of the cave, its body even hit the rock wall around the cave entrance, directly cracking the rock wall and causing a large amount of gravel to fall to the bottom of the mountain. , but this still shows its powerful power.
In the eyes of the court mage, the undead creature in front of him was a dragon-shaped creature with a body made entirely of bones, soaring in the sky.
