Looking at the illusion wall in front of him, Rhodes knew that if he had not learned about this method from the Centaur tribe in advance, he would not have thought that the Elf Spring would be hidden here in this way.
At this time, after confirming through the centaur leader that there was no danger inside, Rhodes no longer waited and entered directly.
Passing through the wall in front of him, Rhodes came to the inner space.
As soon as he entered, Rhodes heard the subtle sound of water flowing in his ears.
At this time, the centaur leader was already waiting inside. After entering, Rhodes ignored the Centaur leader beside him and instead focused on the environment inside.
Rhodes looked around. There was no light in the inner space. Rhodes was able to see the surrounding things clearly with the help of the torch in his hand.
In Rhode's sight, a large pool appeared on the ground in front of him. Except for a fairly spacious platform where he just entered, there were no roads inside. The sound of water that Rhodes heard originally came from this pool.
Seemingly realizing something, Rhodes approached the pool. As Rhodes entered, the undead creatures behind also stepped into the wall and came to this space.
As Rhodes approached, he seemed to feel something abnormal in his perception. At this time, Rhodes stopped a little far away from the pool.
Rhodes' eyes were completely focused on this pool at this time.
The surface of the pool was not calm, and the water waves kept surging in all directions. The sound of water flow that Rhodes heard earlier was also caused by this.
According to Rhode's observation, there was no water flowing down the walls. The water in the pool in front of him was not flowing around except that its interior was active.
After discovering this, Rhodes stopped. Rhodes didn't know whether the sound of splashing in his ears was because there was activity under the pool and water was flowing through it, or because there were some creatures inside the pool.
Based on his experience in previous games, Rhodes knew that both the surrounding environment and the walls used to cover it all showed that the pool in front of him was closely related to the Fairy Spring.
Rhodes understood that there would be powerful creatures guarding the area similar to where the Fairy Spring was generated.
Therefore, although Rhodes was very eager to get the Fairy Spring, he did not approach immediately.
At Rhode's signal, the vampire on the side was the first to make a move.
The vampire took an object handed to it from Rhodes, and then came to this pool.
What the vampire is holding is the kettle used to hold fresh water stored in Rhodes' space ring. The kettle is made of tight leather to ensure that it is water-tight, and there is nothing inside the kettle at this time.
At this time, Rhodes handed the kettle to the vampire because he wanted the vampire to take the water from the pool for him.
Rhodes watched the vampire's movements. Under Rhodes' gaze, the vampire came to the edge of the pool and sank the kettle in his hand into the pool in front of him.
The surrounding light was not bright, and Rhodes could see the surrounding environment clearly with the torch in his hand. However, for the vampire, the dark environment in front of him obviously had no impact on it.
As the kettle sank below the water's surface, the vampire also realized the danger at this time and was concentrating on sensing the abnormalities around him.
Slowly, more and more water filled the kettle. Just as the kettle was about to be filled, something suddenly happened.
In front of the vampire, the pool that was originally only filled with water waves made a loud noise. The vampire immediately sensed an abnormality and then quickly retreated towards the rear.
At this time, in front of the vampire, an ice arrow shot straight at the vampire. The ice arrow had already been shot before the vampire noticed it. In an instant, the ice arrow arrived in front of the vampire.
Facing the ice arrows shot at him, the vampire had no extra time to dodge to the side because the ice arrows were extremely close. Feeling the threat from the ice arrow in front of him, the vampire directly chose to transform into a bat.
Suddenly, a large amount of black mist burst out in the space here, and the sound of objects falling to the ground was heard.
The ice arrow shot directly through the black fog and hit the wall behind, directly blasting a huge gap in the wall.
A large number of bats rushed out of the black mist. After dodging this attack, the vampire did not let the bat retreat backwards. At Rhodes's signal, Bat rushed directly towards the pool in front of him.
In an instant, another burst of magic wave came, and even Rhodes, who was at the rear, clearly felt the power brought by this wave.
Most of the bats rushing towards the pool were killed by a range of spells, and the remaining bats could no longer maintain their vampire form.
At this time, bats gathered directly beside the pool. As the black mist surged past, the vampire's figure appeared.
When the vampire first appeared, he leaned down and grabbed an object on the ground in his hand. The vampire's figure flashed and returned to Rhodes.
At this time, the vampire handed the object in his hand to Rhodes, which was the kettle that he had used to get water from the pool at the beginning.
Although he was not instructed by Rhodes, the vampire was still aware of this. When he just finished transforming into a bat, the vampire deliberately grabbed the kettle on the ground and returned to Rhodes, realizing the importance of this item.
Although Rhodes took the kettle, his eyes did not focus on the kettle in his hand, but looked in the direction of the pool.
Above the pool, a strange creature was standing. It was this creature that attacked vampires before.
Through the light of the fire, Rhodes was able to observe the entirety of this creature. The whole body of this creature is dark blue, and its body does not look like an ordinary human body, but a kind of water-like fluctuation.
This creature has a humanoid upper body. Rhodes can see its arms at this time, but it does not have legs underneath it, but a snake-like whole with fin-like objects behind it.
In Rhode's sight, the creature in front of him was standing on the water without any support. Rhode could even see the fluctuations on the water.
Due to his past life experience, the moment he saw this creature, Rhodes recognized its identity. It belonged to the water element among elemental creatures.
