Only the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard, and a large piece of rattan fell to the ground.
While the red light on the dagger had not dissipated, Rhodes swung the dagger again, hoping to continue to damage the vine. However, since the rattan originally had the tendency to shrink toward the rear, it immediately retracted after the front part was cut off.
On the side, the remaining vines were also retracted.
Although these canes have been recovered, the section of cane that fell on the ground will undoubtedly remain here forever.
After the surrounding rattan was retracted, Rhodes did not put the dagger in his hand into the space ring, but just held it in his hand.
Previously, when Rhodes got the tissue on the rattan, he found that it was very tough, and Rhode realized that it seemed difficult to cut off the rattan with a sword. At this time, Rhodes thought of the magic dagger obtained from the blue-robed mage.
Therefore, when Rhodes realized that he really couldn't cut off the vine, he immediately took out the dagger from the space ring.
After scratching his arm, the red light appeared on the dagger, which was consistent with Rhodes' preconceived idea. The dagger easily cut off the vine.
At this time, Rhodes had an idea in his mind. As long as he supplies his blood to this dagger, all objects in front of it will be cut off by it.
Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly felt that he had established a connection with the dagger, just like the connection between Rhodes and the undead creatures, but this connection was very subtle, and it would have been difficult to detect it if Rhodes had not sensed it carefully. .
The dagger in his hand gave Rhodes a strange feeling, as if something was watching his every move through the dagger.
At this time, the wound on Rhodes' arm had stopped bleeding. Since Rhodes has 16 points of physical attributes, among Rhodes' overall attributes, physical attributes are the highest. Due to the recovery ability brought by physical attributes, as long as the wound is not particularly deep, Rhodes can recover on his own after a period of time.
Similarly, since the wound that Rhodes made on his hand was not deep, by this time, the red light on the dagger faded and turned into its original plain appearance.
Although the dagger returned to its original appearance, Rhodes knew that this was just its appearance.
The dagger easily cut off the tough vine. Rhodes recalled that from the previous battle with the blue-robed mage to the current cutting of the vines, no object could withstand the dagger, and they were all cut off instantly by the dagger.
After the dagger is stained with the blood of its owner, it becomes like a magical weapon, allowing the owner of the dagger to defeat powerful enemies. At the same time, it will also make people dependent on the dagger.
The desire to continue using the dagger arose in Rhodes' heart. Rhodes knew that this magic dagger should be his strongest weapon at this stage.
However, Rhodes seemed to realize something, looking at the dagger in his hand, silent.
When holding the dagger, Rhodes realized the desire in his heart, which was to use this dagger to defeat all unknown enemies regardless of the situation. This thought flashed through Rhodes' mind, but Rhodes captured it keenly.
As time passed, this desire subsided from Rhodes' heart, and the dagger completely returned to its original appearance.
The scene when the blue-robed mage died in battle appeared before Rhodes' eyes. It was precisely because the blue-robed mage believed too much in the dagger in his hand that he lost his will at the last moment and was completely controlled by the dagger. Although his combat ability had improved. , but completely lost himself mentally, and finally died at the hands of Rhodes.
At this time, the dagger began to seduce its new owner, which is why Rhodes developed a strong dependence on the dagger in his heart.
Realizing that this was happening, although Rhodes' level of mysticism was still not high, he also had some guesses about the origin of the dagger.
This style of tempting people to use it and then seizing the user's spiritual will at the critical moment is exactly what the hell races often use.
Rhodes realized that the dagger in his hand was closely related to the Hell Clan, but for some unknown reason, it wandered to the surface world and was eventually acquired by the blue-robed mage.
On the side, because the vines retreated to the rear, after losing the enemy, the surrounding undead creatures suddenly stopped moving, waiting for further instructions from Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes finally took his eyes away from the dagger and looked deep into the mansion, where the source of the vines and the body of the bone vines were located.
Although this dagger can deal with bone vines very well, Rhodes obviously does not dare to put all his hopes on the dagger after learning from the blue-robed mage.
Therefore, if he wants to deal with Bone Vine, Rhodes still needs to follow the original plan.
Through the control of the spiritual imprint, Rhodes asked the vampire to walk in front again, followed by three ghosts, walking towards the inside of the room. Rhodes held the dagger and followed behind them, preparing to kill the vine at the right time. break.
Outside the room, the ghost did not make any movement. In order to prevent the passage from being blocked, it still stood where it was. Rhodes would not let the ghost in until the undead creature in front was damaged.
Arriving inside the room, there is a long and narrow passage. This room was obviously specially built to allow the rattan attack method to be used effectively. There was some light coming from the passage, allowing Rhodes to see the surrounding scene clearly.
After advancing for a while, the passage changed from narrow to wide. Perhaps because of the fear of the dagger in Rhode's hand, Rhode was not attacked by the cane again during the move.
Just when Rhodes was wondering whether he needed to let a few ghosts enter the passage, Rhodes stopped moving forward, and the surrounding undead creatures also stopped instantly.
Through the bright light in front, Rhodes keenly observed that there were several rows of skeleton warriors standing at the end of the passage.
The skeleton warriors standing side by side blocked the entire passage, while the vines attacked from the gaps between the skeleton warriors.
These skeleton warriors were the ones who retreated into the mansion first after the death of the fake mayor. They were now lined up here to resist Rhodes' attack.
Rhodes looked behind the Skeleton Warrior. Although there was only a little light behind him, Rhodes realized that this place was not far from the root system of the bone vine.
According to Rhodes' original test on the tissue on the bone vine, as long as the bone vine can be burned, the bone vine can be destroyed. However, the mayor obviously will not expose such a big flaw, but will guard the place and prevent Rhodes from getting close. .
For a creature like bone vine, if the mayor tries to control its vines, under the command of the mayor, its attacks will be restricted, which is not more threatening than letting it attack freely.
Therefore, the mayor only needs to use all his strength to control the skeleton warrior to resist here, and let the vines attack on their own to destroy the enemy.
Just when Rhodes realized this situation, the mayor cast a spell directly on the undead creatures under his command. Immediately, the group of skeleton warriors in front rushed towards Rhodes and his party with shields raised.
The Skeleton Warrior moved much faster than what Rhodes had seen before. Since the room was not spacious, the Skeleton Warrior held up his shield and charged, causing a burst of impact, hitting the ghosts and vampires beside Rhodes.
The vampires and ghosts were knocked back a few steps by the impact of the skeleton warrior, then stabilized their bodies and began to fight with the skeleton warrior.
Since the speed of the undead creatures was greatly increased by the mayor's use of spells, for a while, the skeleton warriors, with the cooperation of the shield in their hands, suppressed the ghosts and vampires in place.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a vine shot straight from the gap between the skeleton warriors toward the ghost on the far side.
Since Yin Hun was fighting the Skeleton Warrior with all his strength, the cane hit Yin Hun directly, making Yin Hun's body unstable and he retreated a lot under the pressure of the Skeleton Warrior.
At this time, multiple canes were shot at, the number far exceeding the ones that had previously attacked outside the door. Seeing this, Rhodes stepped forward to resist.
As the number of rattans increased, in order to be able to resist them, Rhodes ignored the threat posed by the dagger and directly used the dagger to slice open the other arm.
After absorbing the blood from Rhodes' arm, a red light began to appear on the dagger, which was deeper than the previous red light.
Rhodes came to Yinhun's side. Facing the vines coming straight at him, Rhodes waved his dagger and faced them.
The cane hit the dagger directly and was split in two by the dagger. Rhodes didn't even feel any hindrance when wielding the dagger.
Rhodes swung the dagger to the side, and half of the cane fell to the ground. At the same time, the cane suddenly retracted back, but Rhodes continued to swing the dagger, and while it retracted back, he struck again. Cut off a section.
At this time, the red light on Rhodes' dagger partially faded away and was not as shining as before, but it was still able to maintain the sharpness of the dagger.
In front, a skeleton warrior held up a shield, trying to hit Rhodes with the shield and force Rhodes back.
Looking at this skeleton warrior, Rhodes waved his dagger. A red light flashed through the air, which was exactly the trajectory of Rhodes' dagger.
Following the trajectory of the red light, the upper part of the shield in the skeleton warrior's hand fell directly to the ground.
Another red light flashed across, and the skull warrior's head fell to the ground.
At this time, the red light of the dagger in Rhodes' hand faded, and if he wanted to use it again, he must continue to apply blood.
Perhaps because of using the dagger many times, Rhodes' desire became even stronger.
In his mind, a kind of words was telling Rhodes that as long as he used the dagger, all the enemies in front of him would be easily killed by him, whether it was these skeleton warriors or the bone vines behind him. Just keep slicing yourself with the dagger and you'll be able to defeat these enemies.
But Rhodes did not choose to do this, but forcefully suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
Rhodes knew that once he put all his fighting hopes on this dagger, he would end up like the blue-robed mage.
The skeleton warrior on the side attacked Rhodes. Rhodes switched the dagger to his other hand, took out the original iron sword from the space ring, and began to fight the skeleton warrior.
Since there had been a battle before, both Rhodes and the mayor knew the other person's fighting style, and it was impossible to determine the outcome in a short time just by relying on a simple battle.
Just when Rhodes and his undead creatures were cooperating with each other to suppress the skeleton warriors, suddenly, there was a wave of magic, and then Rhodes felt that his movements became slow. He wanted to swing the weapon in his hand, but his speed failed. Much lower.
Rhodes realized that the Slowness Technique was cast on himself, and the undead creatures controlled by Rhodes were also affected by the Slowness Technique.
The skeleton warrior on the mayor's side was cast with a spell to increase his speed attribute. With such an increase and decrease, the skeleton warrior successfully resisted the undead creatures beside Rhodes.
At this time, a vine shot out, but the target it attacked was not Rhodes, but the ghost farthest from Rhodes.
Due to the speed, the two vines quickly wrapped around Yin Hun's body, pulling Yin Hun back, and the skeleton warrior behind took the opportunity to slash at Yin Hun.
The Skeleton Warrior's attack could not cause much damage to the ghost, but at this time, another vine shot straight at the ghost. The mayor obviously also realized that while Rhodes had the dagger in his hand, if the vine appeared near Rhodes, it would be cut off instantly.
Although he didn't know the origin of the dagger in Rhode's hand, the mayor had a general understanding of the dagger's efficacy after these attacks.
Therefore, the mayor made his own order, which was to ignore Rhodes completely and attack the undead creatures next to Rhodes first. The reason why he gave priority to attacking the ghosts was because vampires can use bat transformation to evade and have stronger vitality.
At this time, several skeleton warriors quickly approached and blocked Rhodes who went to support the shadow.
Facing the skeleton warriors in front of him, due to the reduced speed and the skeleton warriors' focus on resisting, Rhodes could only be blocked behind the shield for a while, unable to cross these skeleton warriors and reach the side of the ghost.
On the side, other ghosts also tried to help the ghost entangled in the vines to resist the attack of the vines in front. However, due to the tight defense of the surrounding skeleton warriors and the vines, the ghosts had been pulled to the skeleton warriors' formation. Among them, the other undead creatures can't help the ghost.
Because the ghost was entangled in the vines, and was unable to dodge, the ghost's own recovery ability had no effect when faced with the collision of the vines.
By the time Rhodes used swordsmanship to defeat the skeleton warrior in front of him and came to Yin Hun, Yin Hun had been killed by the vine.
The skeleton warrior filled the original vacancy and continued to suppress the ghosts around Rhodes. Seeing the cane shooting in his direction again, Rhodes knew that he could no longer wait.
Once they continue to wait like this, the undead creatures around them will be killed one by one by the mayor. Maybe Rhodes and the vampire can escape from here, but the remaining two ghosts will be entangled in vines even if they want to escape to the rear. As for the ghosts at the rear, they may not have much effect.
At this time, two more vines came and entangled a ghost on the side, trying to kill it. The skeleton warriors surrounding the ghost immediately surrounded it.
Seeing this, Rhodes held the dagger in his left hand and cut open the right arm holding the sword.
