As the centaur struck down with an axe, the water splashed apart again, but this time, the tightly held water element had no way to dodge. Even if the damage from the centaur leader's slash is weakened by the resistance of the water, it is not something that the water element can withstand.
The ax blade parted the water surface and struck directly into the body of the water element, killing the water element instantly.
With the death of the water element, this battle has ended.
At the moment when the water element died, through the prompts in the system log, Rhodes discovered that he had obtained 800 experience points corresponding to the water element.
Compared with ordinary fourth-level creatures, the water element is obviously in a stronger position. Coupled with the advantage of the terrain, even if the undead creatures controlled by Rhodes are strong, facing the water element, his own These undead creatures also have no advantage.
Rhodes recalled that in the previous battle, if the vampire hadn't taken the opportunity to capture the water element, then Rhodes would have still needed a lot of effort to kill the water element guarding the bottom of the water.
At this time, Rhodes set his sights on the centaur leader who was pulling out his battle axe.
Rhodes knew that the reason why the vampire could easily catch the water element hiding under the water was precisely because of the influence of the centaur leader on the water element.
The centaur leader took the initiative to use the effect of the mask on the water element, which greatly affected the water element. In the end, he was caught by the vampire because he wasted too much time.
During the battle, Rhodes did not give many orders to the Centaur leader. The Centaur leader's timing of using the mask relied entirely on its observation of the battle situation.
Rhodes did not expect that what he originally thought of was the inheritance of the Silva tribe, so he returned the mask to the centaur leader. However, in this case, the centaur leader used the mask to change the situation of the battle, and finally defeated the water element. kill.
Rhodes knew that when using the mask, the centaur leader was already able to have a considerable influence on the fourth-level creatures. Compared with the phantom he saw when fighting the centaur leader, the scene seen by the water element should be more real, so that it can affect its judgment.
At this time, under Rhodes's signal, the centaur leader and the vampire carried the body of the water element to the shore.
Although he was killed by the centaur leader's battle ax, there was no blood on the water element's body, and there was no abnormal reaction at the wound.
Rhodes knew that for elemental creatures, their bodies were different from the bodies of conventional creatures and did not have blood in their bodies. What constitutes their life core is actually another kind of substance.
Through the previous battle, Rhodes also confirmed that the water here should be just an ordinary water source and had little to do with the Elf Spring that he was originally looking for.
But since there is a water element guarding here, it also shows that there is a certain degree of specialness here.
Therefore, at Rhodes's signal, the remaining undead creatures immediately searched around the pool for traces of the Elf Spring, while Rhodes himself began to deal with the body of the water element.
For elemental creatures, they are not made of flesh and blood, which means that Rhodes cannot transform them into undead creatures. Rhode's treatment of the water elemental corpse was actually to obtain the core parts of the water elemental corpse.
Rhodes used the weapon in his hand to deal with it. Not long after, he took out a gem-like object from the body of the water element, corresponding to the heart of the human body, which is the core of the water element.
By the light of the fire, Rhodes looked towards the core of the water element in his hand. The surface of the core is extremely smooth, but without any luster, just like an ordinary stone on the roadside, but this hard object emits rich water magic energy to the surroundings.
Rhodes knew that the elemental core in his hand could be sold for a lot of money even in Diya, where necromancers gathered, and in Brakada, the holy land of mages, the price would be even higher.
For elemental cores that can release magical energy, this kind of item has always been particularly valuable. Unlike the Revenant Crystal, the Revenant Crystal can only play its greatest role in the hands of the Necromancer. This elemental core that releases water magic energy is obviously more valuable.
Rhodes carefully observed the elemental core in his hand. Based on his past life experience, Rhodes knew that the elemental core in his hand was of relatively good quality. Purer elemental cores can only be provided by powerful elemental creatures, and Generally, they are not circulated in the market and are mostly collected by the master himself.
Rhodes went to the elemental plane in his previous life with the same purpose of collecting this elemental core.
As Rhodes took out the elemental core from the water elemental's body, the water elemental's body underwent some changes, but this change was not obvious. Rhodes knew that after losing the magical energy provided by the elemental core, it would not take long for the water elemental body to completely dissipate.
For elemental creatures, the elemental core in the body is their only weakness. When the elemental core is directly attacked, the elemental creatures will also suffer a lot of damage. If it weren't for this situation, the elemental creatures would be even stronger.
However, the elemental core also gives elemental creatures powerful spellcasting capabilities, so that their ability to cast spells is not limited by mana. Rhodes also knew that if he did not deal with the element core in the water element's body, although the water element was dead now, the element core would resurrect the water element after a period of time.
Once the elemental core is taken out, the special features of elemental creatures will lose their effect.
After checking the elemental core in his hand, Rhodes put it into the space ring. At this time, Rhodes received a message from the undead creature in his spiritual imprint.
Knowing that the undead creatures had already searched for the abnormality here, Rhodes stopped waiting and walked towards the location of the undead creatures.
After clearing away the water elements in the pool, the undead creatures were able to search the surroundings thoroughly.
As the undead creatures searched around the pool, they also completed exploring the structure of the place.
It turns out that this place is connected to an underground river, which is why Rhodes had been hearing the sound of water flowing before. Following the wall of the pool, the undead creatures discovered this during the search.
As we go deeper into the back of the pool, the water inside becomes more and more turbulent. Many centaur undead can hardly stand and have to fight against the power of the water all the time. Only the centaur leader still follows Rhodes' order to search in the rapids. Abnormality here.
After discovering this, the vampire did not continue to go deeper into the underground river, but searched in the direction where the water flow was relatively stable, and finally found an anomaly on a wall here.
