What vampires are best at dealing with are creatures that are weaker than themselves.
In the past, vampires were able to kill the walking corpses controlled by Rhodes and the current guards in the business group by attacking their weak points.
The powerful basic attributes, coupled with the combat skills of attacking weak points, and the ability to devour flesh and restore life after transforming into a bat, make vampires invincible when dealing with low-level creatures.
However, when facing powerful professionals, since the overall basic attributes are more focused on physical fitness, the other basic attributes of vampires are not outstanding enough, coupled with possible disadvantages in equipment, it is actually difficult to gain much advantage.
For the bat transformation skill, powerful professionals have their own set of methods to deal with it. Even if it is difficult to stop the bat from regaining life by devouring flesh and blood, it will not be seriously injured. A high-level mage can kill all the bats transformed into vampire bats with just one spell.
Therefore, despite the fact that vampires have been able to fight with the surrounding business group members for so long, and even gain an advantage for a time, if there is a powerful professional among the business group members, coupled with accurate command and deployment, it is actually difficult for the vampires to gain the upper hand.
In other words, if either User or the blue-robed mage commanded these members of the business group, coupled with their own strength, the vampires would be suppressed until death.
However, there is no unified command, and the guards of the merchant group are fighting on their own. Everyone is unwilling to withstand the vampire's attack and be injured. Except for the warriors in front, almost everyone is looking for opportunities on the sidelines.
No strong person can suppress the vampire in terms of overall attributes, and the rest of the guards in the business group do not dare to step forward, so the vampire can fully display its strength.
As the battle continued, the guards of the merchant group fell one after another. The original number of people no longer had the upper hand, and they could no longer even encircle them. The morale of the business group began to collapse.
Finally, when the merchant group leader and the mage were nowhere to be found, and watching the fighting partners around him fall down one by one, a guard in the merchant group couldn't help it. He did not look at the vampires in the field, but towards them. Fleeing from behind.
This fleeing guard seemed to have lit a fuse, and the other guards also fled to the side.
Even the last few remaining senior professionals, watching this situation happen, knew that the situation was over and the business group was completely defeated this time, so they also grabbed a horse and left in the distance.
After the merchant group's guards fled one after another, the vampires followed Rhode's instructions in the spiritual imprint and did not choose to hunt down the fleeing people, nor did they take care of other items in the merchant group. Instead, they found something from the side. The horse left in the direction of Rhodes.
Through the spiritual imprint, the vampire can roughly perceive the location of Rhodes, so he only needs to follow the guidance of the spiritual imprint to meet up with Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes was driving his horse through the forest quickly, following the subtle traces left by the blue-robed mage.
The blue-robed mage obviously didn't expect that there would be someone chasing him from behind, so he didn't leave any signs of misleading, and just relied on the speed of the horse to run quickly in one direction.
However, even if the blue-robed mage deliberately leaves traces to mislead the pursuers, Rhodes can use intermediate reconnaissance skills and some subtle traces to determine which direction is correct, but the blue-robed mage will waste his time.
Rhodes was not in a hurry to catch up with the blue-robed mage. Instead, he followed the traces he left and stayed just a distance behind, waiting for the vampire to deal with the other members of the business group before dealing with the blue-robed mage together.
Previously, when Rhodes fought with User on the watchtower, it was still sunset. After a period of chasing, it was already evening and the sky was getting dark.
Perhaps due to the bonus brought by the reconnaissance technique, Rhodes looked at the surrounding trees and thought of the scene he saw from the top of the watchtower. The direction the blue-robed mage chose to escape was exactly the target of the caravan's trip, Diya.
During the chase, as the blue-robed mage's escape direction changed several times, Rhodes realized that the blue-robed mage didn't know the map here and was just trying to get rid of the enemies behind him with speed.
As the surrounding light gradually dimmed, it became difficult for Rhodes to detect the traces of the blue-robed mage. If Rhodes had still learned the basic reconnaissance skills, he would have lost most of his effectiveness and had already lost the blue-robed mage.
Rhodes just wanted to track the blue-robed mage from behind, hoping to keep a safe distance, instead of trying to catch up quickly. He obviously had his own plans.
Rhodes has a deep understanding of the power of mage from his past life experience. Although it seemed that he was chasing the blue-robed mage in front of him, the outcome of the actual fight was still uncertain.
Rhodes naturally understood the principle of not pursuing the enemy when he was in trouble, so he did not try to catch up quickly, but followed the path left by the blue-robed mage.
Through the message from the spiritual imprint, Rhodes also knew at this time that the vampire had ended the war with the members of the business group and was heading in his direction.
At this time, with the end of the battle, the experience value that had been beating in the attribute panel had stopped and finally stayed at 770 points.
Since the battle on the vampire side has ended, Rhodes chose to upgrade his level again in order to have stronger strength to deal with the blue-robed mage.
"400 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 370. The professional level is upgraded to level 2 swordsman level 5..."
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."
The attribute points and skill points of Rhodes have not been allocated, and they are ready to be used at the critical moment.
… …
Ahead, the blue-robed mage was riding a horse, fleeing crazily towards the forest.
The blue-robed mage's thumb swiped hard across the space ring in his hand. The suggestion of transporting the soul crystal was proposed to User by the blue-robed mage. The blue-robed mage naturally knew the value of the items in this space ring.
Therefore, after getting the space ring, the blue-robed mage suddenly had an idea in his mind. Coupled with the possibility of powerful enemies, he left the rest of the business group and fled alone.
The blue-robed mage believed that even if there were other valuable goods within the business group, the necromancer would obviously not even look at those goods and would definitely choose to track him from behind.
Since he didn't carry a map with him, and he had been sitting in a carriage in the business group before, the blue-robed mage didn't know anything about the surrounding terrain, but he had no choice but to run in one direction based on his own feelings. go.
Suddenly, the blue-robed mage had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was being watched by something.
The blue-robed mage looked toward the rear. Behind him was a deep forest. There was nothing unusual in the forest, but the feeling in the blue-robed mage's heart could not be calmed.
The blue-robed mage understood that the necromancer was chasing him from behind.
