  Chapter 27 Deadwood Warrior

Rhodes took vampire and walked through the jungle.

The light in the forest is relatively dark, and there are some dead branches and leaves under one foot. The surrounding trees are tall, Rhodes can see at a glance, they are full of trees that can only be hugged by five or six people, making it difficult to tell the direction.

With no roads in the woods and a lack of pathfinding, Rhodes struggled to know where he was heading. Even with a map, Rhodes needs a reference to get to a target of his choosing.

As indicated on the map, Rhodes plans to head to the nearest river first, then follow the river to the nearby town.

Rhodes looked towards the map in his hand. According to the records on the map, if you want to go straight to the river, you must pass a location with a danger sign.

Unaware of the specific surrounding environment and the enemies they might encounter, Rhodes did not dare to go to the river at full speed.

Rhodes, who has the reconnaissance skill, is undoubtedly very handy in observing the surrounding environment. Although the speed of action is a little slower, there is no need to spend time on detours.

According to Rhodes' idea, the invincible enemy of the apprentice Elliot does not mean that he cannot defeat it.

Going straight to the river, Rhodes can spot enemies in the distance with Scout. If the enemy is strong, Rhodes can retreat directly, but if the enemy is weak, he can kill them.

Rhodes reckons that even if he can control the vampire himself, even if he faces the original Elliot head-on, he will not necessarily fail. Successive victories gave Rhodes the confidence to conquer unknown enemies.

Although nothing unusual was found along the way, Rhodes never let go of his vigilance, instead of moving forward blindly, but always observing the surrounding environment.

The light in the forest gets darker and darker as the distance from the tomb increases. Rhodes looked all around, the trees around him were unusually tall, and the branches and leaves of the trees blocked the light, so Rhodes had to walk between these big trees.

In the process of advancing, Rhodes' attention was drawn to several large, slanted trees on the side.

The tall tree fell to the side for some reason, and the still sturdy trunk rested on other trees. The roots of the trees that were originally firmly attached to the ground were also sticking out of the ground at this time, and the roots were still stained with soil on the ground.

This unreasonable situation made Rhodes alert. Relying on the perception brought by the reconnaissance technique, Rhodes quickly observed the surroundings, but found nothing unusual, so he had to move on.

Not far after walking, suddenly, as if he had discovered something, a strong sense of crisis emerged in Rhodes' heart, Rhodes hurriedly took vampire to hide behind a tree beside him.

The ground began to vibrate regularly, from far to near. In the forest, there was a sound of swaying branches and leaves, and the sound became louder and louder.

Rhodes knew that in the distance, the enemy of some kind of creature was approaching in his direction. The power it brought, even Rhodes, who was hiding behind the tree, could not help but palpitate.

The shaking of the ground is getting closer. Vampire can also feel the strength of the enemy, and the body behind the tree trembles violently.

A strong tremor came from the front of the tree, and Rhodes knew that if it wasn't for the tree in front of him, the enemy would have found him.

spiritual imprint is a strong beating, as if it is a biological instinct, vampire produces a kind of fear. Rhodes can only control the spiritual imprint, forcing the vampire to stay still, while restraining its own breath.

The tremors gradually moved away, and the enemy did not find Rhodes and vampire, but walked towards the depths of the jungle.

The mighty foe is gone, the vampire calms down, and Rhodes still leans back against the tree trunk, recalling the last foe he saw.

At the last moment of the enemy's departure, Rhodes glanced quickly in its direction, and with just one glance, the enemy's appearance was used to determine the type of the enemy.

The body is as tall as the surrounding giant tree, the humanoid torso, and the skin is covered with dead wood-like lines...

Dead wood warrior.

The tremors subsided, but Rhodes still remembered the power of the enemy.

The fifth order? Or higher?

Rhodes didn't know, but he knew that the enemy in front of him was far beyond his grasp. If it wasn't for the dead wood warrior's inherently low perception, he might have been discovered by it.

For the ordinary person who is lost in the forest, the dead wood warrior generally ignores them, and even helps them to leave the forest. But for the undead mage, the dead wood warrior does not have such a good temper. Rhodes doesn't think it's going to end well if he's found out.

Fortunately, there is only one creature like the deadwood warrior in an area. Watching the enemy go away, Rhodes doesn't have to worry about encountering other deadwood warriors.

With vampire, Rhodes continued in the direction the deadwood warrior came.

“Erie…”

Rhodes in the heart has a certain idea of ​​where it is.

Before encountering the dead wood warrior, Rhodes roughly guessed where he was just by looking at the towering trees around him. At this point, after encountering the dead wood warrior, Rhodes finally settled down, and the location was exactly Ellie.

Eri is ruled by elves, most of the territory is forest, there are a large number of magical creatures in the forest, such as centaurs and dryads are common in Eri.

Among them, the deadwood warrior Rhodes saw was Eli's powerful guardian. The huge strength, coupled with the strong life force, makes the dead wood warrior extremely difficult to deal with. Rhodes remembers how these deadwood warriors looked on the battlefield.

And the gathering place of the undead mage, Dia, is located on the edge of Eri, adjacent to the border of Eri. All creatures in Eri have always hated undead mage. Undead mage must be extra careful in Eri. Once discovered, they will be hunted down by the native creatures of Eri.

Rhodes knows his general location, but still doesn't know the current period of the game.

If he can know the location and the current period at the same time, according to the mastery of the plot in the previous life, Rhodes can follow the general trend of the plot and obtain the greatest advantage.

For a while, there was a damp feeling in the air, and as it grew stronger, Rhodes knew he was not far from where he had decided at first.

Finally, the foliage ahead was less obscured, the light brightened, and a river appeared in Rhodes' line of sight. The sound of running water rang in Rhodes' ears, and Rhodes knew that he had found the river marked on the map.

According to the map, Rhodes' next goal is to follow the river to the nearest town.

Arriving by the river, Rhodes looked at himself in the water, with short hair that was indistinct and indistinct, the flowing river water could not reveal his specific appearance, most of his face was stained with blood, and he was wearing early clothes. I don't know how many cuts were cut, and all kinds of scabbed scars on the body.

Rhodes gave a wry smile. He has been fighting since he came to this world and has not had any time to organize himself. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he threw his torn clothes aside and came to the river to clean up. for a while.
