After spending a few mana points, Rhodes lit the torch he had prepared in advance, handed it to the walking corpse aside, and retreated to the side of the passage.
In the tomb, Rhodes arranged a total of two zombies. A man wearing iron armor and holding a broken iron shield stood at the entrance of the passage. The other is in its original state, inside the tomb. At this time, the two zombies were holding torches in their hands.
Through the spiritual imprint, Rhodes controlled the walking corpse and began to set fire to the tomb.
The zombie took the torch and walked towards the coffin at the end. He brought the torch to the side of the coffin, and the flames immediately rose.
Without stopping, under the control of Rhodes, the walker held the torch and limped towards various other locations. The flames ignited all the way, and finally came to the armored walker, igniting the wood piled in front of the passage.
At this time, all the wood placed in the tomb was ignited. The tomb was already ablaze with fire.
A lot of the death energy in the tomb was driven away by the burning of the flames.
Rhodes continues to control the walkers. After igniting the entire tomb, the zombie walked through the sea of fire, placed the torch on the coffin, and began to light the coffin.
At this time, the entire coffin began to shake violently. The undead creatures sleeping inside the coffin awakened.
The feet of the walking corpse were burnt black, and a strange smell mixed with rotting corpses and burnt things came out. Even so, the characteristics of undead creatures caused the zombies to still set fire to the coffin according to Rhodes' control. The high physical attributes prevent the zombies from dying in a short time.
boom! boom!
Inside the coffin, there was a heavy banging sound. The undead creatures inside also sensed something was wrong and wanted to get out of the coffin.
Rhodes tries to get the walkers to open the coffin, but it doesn't work and the surface is visibly nailed.
During the past few days of preparation, Rhodes also observed the coffin many times. There were no special marks on the coffin, and there were no patterns around it. Rhodes did not dare to touch the coffin directly, fearing that the undead creatures inside would notice it.
Only then did Rhodes let the zombies try to open the coffin. This is also to release the undead creatures inside the coffin as quickly as possible to avoid the meaningless consumption of air in the tomb after the flames are ignited.
boom!
Just as the zombie was trying to push on the side of the coffin, a hand broke through the burning coffin board and stretched out, and was then burned by the flames on the coffin board. The hand quickly retracted, and there was a dull crashing sound inside the coffin.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhodes controlled the walking corpse and directly thrust the burning torch through the hole pierced by the arm.
The struggle inside the coffin intensified, and the zombie seemed to have used a lot of strength to press down the torch.
The flames caused considerable damage to the undead creatures inside. The coffin began to vibrate crazily, and then it cracked open, and countless bats flew out from inside!
"A vampire..."
Seeing the bat flying out of the coffin, Rhodes immediately understood the identity of the undead creature in front of him, a vampire!
Bat transformation is one of vampire's signature skills.
According to Rhodes' idea, no matter what kind of undead creature is inside the coffin, when it comes out of the broken coffin, the zombies in front will rely on their bodies to drag the undead creature inside and trap it in the sea of fire.
However, the appearance of bats made the walking zombies who tried to drag the undead creatures have no effect. The zombies waved the torches in their hands randomly, trying to attack the group of bats.
Bats are abundant. But when the zombies waved down the torch, the bat group was able to quickly separate a path and accurately avoid the zombies' attack.
Ignoring the walking corpse holding the torch, the bat flew toward the back of the tomb. The zombie's waving failed to have any effect, and he wanted to move forward to catch the departing bat, but because his feet were burned to the point of melting, he lost his mobility and could only stay in the sea of fire and wait for death.
After confirming the type of undead creature, Rhodes did not bother with the walking corpses left in place, but exited the passage of the tomb and at the same time released several large wooden blocks from the space ring to block the entrance to the tomb.
Rhodes walked toward the back, and at the same time used the space ring to collect the large wooden block left aside.
Inside the tomb, the zombie wearing iron armor set fire to the stacked wooden blocks behind him, and also set fire to all the wooden blocks placed on the ground under his feet.
Since it was necessary to ignite all the wooden blocks stacked into obstacles, Rhodes could not do it alone and could only rely on the zombies left inside to complete it.
The bat rushed to the armored walker, who threw the torch on the ground and raised his shield to protect his head.
In the blink of an eye, the body of the walking corpse was covered with bats. The bats embedded their claws into the body of the walking corpse and at the same time bit into the flesh and blood of the walking corpse. The walking corpse didn't react at all, and just followed Rhode's control and blocked the passage.
Many bats collided with the iron shield of the walker, but it was of no use. Since there is a pile of flame barriers behind the walking corpse, the bats cannot attack the back of the walking corpse and can only bite the legs of the walking corpse.
The fire inside the tomb gradually grew larger, and a column of black smoke shot out. Many bats fell into the sea of fire and disappeared into a black mist, leaving no corpses behind.
Suddenly, many bats fell.
Finally, before the zombie fell, the bats began to gather in front of the zombie. As a large group of black mist gushes out, the figure of the vampire emerges.
The vampire was right in front of the zombie. The zombie still followed Rhodes' instructions and completely shrank his upper body behind the shield, completely unaware of what was happening.
Unfortunately, Rhodes was unable to command the walking corpse due to his blocked vision. If Rhodes could see the situation inside the tomb, he would immediately let the zombies rush towards the vampire with a shield, and block it by impacting it, which could delay it for a while.
The flames instantly burned the vampire's legs, burning upwards along the vampire's rotting clothes.
The vampire rushed directly towards the zombie and pushed against the iron shield held by the zombie with all his strength. The powerful strength attribute made the zombies without any resistance and hit the ignited wood block behind. The barrier that was supposed to be used to stop the vampire was now hit by the vampire pushing the walking corpse.
Under the powerful force of the vampire, the zombie's entire body smashed into the barrier. The flames burned the zombie's back, making a sizzling sound. The zombie knocked out a gap in the stacked wooden blocks.
At this time, the vampire himself was not feeling well, and his feet were constantly being burned by flames.
Since the zombies were still blocking the front, the gap was not too big.
There was no choice to continue pushing towards the walking corpse. In order to prevent the flames from continuing to burn, a large cloud of black mist erupted from the vampire's body. The original figure disappeared, and a large number of bats rushed out from it, past the walking corpse, and flew rapidly towards the gap.
The zombie only felt a slight push in front of its body, but with its wisdom it could not understand what was happening. It just held up its shield and stayed in the sea of fire.
Seeing the scattered wooden blocks and the large number of bats flying out from behind, Rhodes knew that the first barrier had been breached by the vampire.
The bats regrouped in front of the hall. The vampire's figure had just appeared, but only the back of Rhodes was seen exiting the hall.
