  Chapter 72 Bone Vine II

Looking at the small piece of vine tissue in his hand, Rhodes realized The vine species that originally attacked vampire.

Based on some experiences from previous lives and the sights he had seen before, Rhodes guessed that the creature guarding the mansion should be a special undead creature, a bone vine. The original rattan that attacked the vampire was part of the bone vine.

After high-level plants die for some reason, undead mage can transform them into special undead creatures through a series of Soul Evocation ceremony, and bone vine is one of the more common ones.

Because it is a special undead creature, the bone vine has excellent potential. It can grow by devouring the flesh and blood of living creatures. After being cultivated, it is very useful for defense. It is a relatively Peak existence among creatures of the same order.

However, although this bone vine is extremely powerful, it still has many limitations.

The flesh and blood required to cultivate bone vines is extremely large, and due to its own reasons, bone vines cannot leave the root system like regular undead creatures.

Once the bone vine is cultivated, it can only stick to one place. In addition, the bone vine needs to devour a lot of flesh and blood as nourishment every day, otherwise it will show a sluggish state and it will be difficult to exert its own strength.

When the rank of the bone vine reaches a certain level, ordinary flesh and blood can only allow the bone vine to maintain its current strength, but it cannot improve the rank of the bone vine.

Because the main body is a plant, the bone vine cannot be improved by absorbing the energy of death like ordinary undead creatures. Bone vine must devour high-quality flesh and blood in order to gain strength.

Generally speaking, this kind of bone vine is cultivated by the undead towns above medium size for defense. Because the whole town is used as a supply of flesh and blood, it can exert its maximum strength.

Therefore, the undead mage often leaves this bone vine in a dormant state, and will not wake up the bone vine until it has accumulated enough flesh and blood. When bone vines are dormant, they do not need to devour flesh daily.

Rhodes realizes that this is why the mayor retreats into the mansion first. The mayor didn't care about the result of Rhodes' battle with the undead mage, and came to the inside of the mansion first, just to wake the bone vine from its dormant state.

At this point, Rhodes has confirmed that the undead creatures guarding the mansion are bone vines. Knowing this, and thinking about the strength shown by the bone vine earlier, Rhodes knew that he couldn't be in a hurry.

Rhodes looked towards the small piece of tissue in his hand. Most of the bone vine has this structure, and only the position close to the core will change.

Rhodes took this small piece of tissue and went to a candlestick not far away, and placed it on the candlestick to burn.

Although bone vines showed resistance to fire in the previous test, Rhodes still needs further confirmation.

Undead creatures are generally not very resistant to flames, no matter what kind of undead creatures, they cannot withstand the burning of flames for a long time.

When Rhodes just got this piece of tissue in his hand, this small piece of tissue appears white, which should be its original color. Under the illumination of the flame, the tissue on the bone vine showed a special red, and the closer it was to the fire, the deeper the red.

Rhodes looks into the candlestick. During the burning process of the flame, this small piece of tissue gradually changed.

At this time, through the burning of the flame, it didn't take long for a charred black to appear on the tissue of the bone vine, and the black gradually expanded from the burning center to the surrounding, and finally the entire tissue became With this color, it seems that it can be torn off with just a gentle pull.

Seeing this, Rhodes knew that the resistance of bone vines to flames was not as good as he thought, it could only be said to be average, stronger than low-level undead creatures like walking corpses.

Rhodes realized that fire could play a role. This is also the reason why the bone vine will directly attack the ghost holding the torch, and after killing the ghost, the torch on the ground will be slapped out immediately.

In the process of slapping the torch out, because the single cane of the bone vine is relatively wide and can generate great power, under the continuous beating, the flame is extinguished. After a long time, the bone vine will suffer from the burning damage of the fire.

At this point, Rhodes couldn't help but think that if he mastered the Fire Wall Magic and had enough mana, it would undoubtedly be much easier to deal with the bone vine in front of him.

Because of his eagerness to conquer the undead creatures, Rhodes did not search for the magic book carried by the undead mage. Although he could learn the spell of fire wall in this way, Rhodes was still unable to cast it due to insufficient mana. .

So, even knowing that fire can deal with bone vines, Rhodes still needs to act like a proper solution.

With the candle around him, Rhodes rekindled a torch.

Rhodes had just handed the torch to the ghost, when a stream of water fell from the sky, dousing the torch in the ghost's hands. At the same time, multiple streams of water appeared, causing all the candlesticks inside the mansion to go out.

Rhodes knew this was the response of the mayor, who had been watching the situation.

Using the spell to directly condense the water flow is like making fire directly, and it doesn't consume much mana. Therefore, Rhodes' way only makes the mayor consume some mana.

This created water flow can be generated from any location, depending on the sorcerer's intentions. Even if the mayor is standing in the room, due to the short distance, the water can be poured down directly from the sky.

If the mayor at first is to observe the situation of the members entering the mansion, and deliberately leave the flame on the candlestick to observe, then the mayor has obtained the required information at this time, and at the After discovering that Rhodes wanted to set the mansion on fire, he immediately extinguished the surrounding fire.

Compared with creating water flow, this move by the mayor undoubtedly made Rhodes understand something. Even if the mayor is inside the room, there are some means to see what Rhodes is doing outside the room, which makes Rhodes vigilant.

Because the surrounding fire was extinguished, the light inside the mansion dimmed instantly, Rhodes had difficulty seeing things around him, except for the room where the bone vines were, there was still a little light.

In the dark mansion, a flame illuminates the surroundings. Rhodes uses mana directly to set the torch on fire.

Rhodes stood there and waited for a while, but the water flow did not come again, which gave Rhodes some confirmation about the way the mayor observed himself.

Handing the torch to the ghost on the side, Rhodes didn't let the ghost try to set the mansion on fire, but just held the torch for lighting.

Rhodes knew in his heart that if it was just lighting, the mayor wouldn't put out the torch with a stream of water. As Rhodes had previously confirmed, the mayor also needed the illumination provided by the flames to be able to observe himself outside the room.

Without being able to set the mansion on fire directly, Rhodes began to think about how to deal with the bone vines.

According to Rhodes' idea, the best way to deal with the mayor is to leave the mansion directly, and then send undead creatures to monitor every move in the mansion.

After learning the magic recorded in the undead mage magic book, and the mana recovery is complete, Rhodes will undoubtedly have a lot easier to deal with the bone vines in the mansion, perhaps this is the easiest to deal with The mayor's method.

Because the bone vine needs to consume a lot of flesh and blood every day after being awakened, as long as Rhodes surrounds this place, it won't take long, even if Rhodes does not come to attack, the bone vine will lose most of its power .

But, as Rhodes had anticipated, it won't be long before the war between Dia and Eli begins. Rhodes needs to come to the Spell Academy of the Undead before the war starts, in order to get the most benefit.

Rhodes has been in the town for a few days. If it goes on like this, even if Rhodes kills the mayor without much loss, Rhodes also loses the ability to gain more profit in the war. Opportunities belong to the small and the big.

At this time, Rhodes made his own judgment, that is, he can only attack, relying on these undead creatures under his control, although he does not know how much loss there will be, but as long as he can take down the mayor, Rhodes can accept it.

In previous battles, the four elements spell mayor had been used, Rhodes didn't know why this undead mage chose to come here and become a mayor instead of the undead spell Academy learn.

Rhodes knew that attacking was also divided into tactics, and swarming all the undead creatures was undoubtedly the worst option. When the undead creature takes action and how to schedule it, the undead mage needs to judge by itself.

On this point, players can choose to learn special skills: tactics, which can be improved in command after learning.

And Rhodes did not choose to learn tactics, because it is not a necessary skill, Rhodes can also command the undead creatures based on his own combat experience, so Rhodes does not want to spend attribute points to learn.

Previously, when the vampire was entangled by the rattan, it could still scratch the parts on the rattan, but due to the short time, it did not cause much damage to the rattan.

This means that ghosts and ghosts can also cause a lot of damage to the rattan, but be careful with the mutual cooperation between the rattan, otherwise they will be directly killed by the rattan.

Under Rhodes' control, the surrounding undead creatures were immediately ready and came to the door of this room.

At this point, following Rhodes' instructions, vampire entered the room first.

Behind vampire, there are three ghosts controlled by Rhodes. In order to ensure that they can deal with the bone vine, Rhodes sent all the three ghosts controlled by Rhodes. However, at this time, the ghost did not move, and was still outside the door, waiting for vampire to enter first.

Compared with the ghost, the basic attribute of the ghost is poor, it is difficult to withstand a single attack by the rattan, and it will make the space crowded, which is not conducive to other undead creatures to avoid the attack of the rattan. Rhodes also Instead of letting these ghosts come forward to fight, they waited outside.

As soon as vampire entered the room, a cane shot straight out at vampire.

According to Rhodes' instructions, vampire quickly dodged to the side, and the cane hit the air with a single blow.

The speed of the cane shooting out is extremely fast. While the vampire is dodging, the front end of the cane has reached the rear of the vampire.

The front end of the rattan exerts force, and when it goes around the vampire, it wraps the vampire.

At this point, a few vines were shot from the rear again, hitting the vampire away.

The ghost, on Rhodes' orders, stepped forward directly and blocked the front of the vampire.

The rattan hit the ghost, and the ghost couldn't dodge in time. The one who was hit by the rattan took a few steps back, but then the dark light flowed on his body, and the injury gradually recovered.

In addition to one rattan entangled in the vampire, several other rattans wanted to attack the vampire, but were blocked by the ghost next to them.

Although the body was entangled by the rattan, but since there was no attack from the other rattan, vampire took this opportunity to tear the bone rattan on his body with all his strength.

Under the torn of vampire, a part of the rattan wrapped around it was torn apart, but compared to the whole rattan, it was still useless, and the vampire was tightly entangled.

The rattan is so tenacious that even if the vampire is torn with all its strength, it will not be able to tear it apart, only a small part of it will be ripped apart each time it is torn.

At this moment, Vampire, who was tearing the cane, stumbled under his feet and rushed into the room for a few steps, then stopped his pace and almost hit the ghost in front of him.

It turned out that when vampire was tearing the rattan, a huge force suddenly came from the rattan, trying to retract the vampire towards the rear, making the vampire stand unsteady.

Fortunately, vampire stopped the advance in time. Vampire kept moving, and continued to use sharp claw to tear the rattan while fighting against the pulling force of the rattan.

Two vines attacked again, but they were blocked by the ghost in front of vampire, one after another. The ghost is not afraid of the slap of the rattan. As long as the location of the hit is not the head, the ghost can rely on its own characteristics to recover.

Therefore, the ghost can help vampire very well and resist the attack of the rattan.

Several beats of the rattan have not achieved good results. And Vampire has already torn off most of the cane wrapped around him, and he only needs to continue attacking for a while, and the front of the cane can be torn off from one part.

The bone vines seem to realize this too. The vines that had been entangled in vampire's body loosened instantly, and they wanted to pull them back, but vampire directly grabbed the retreating vines, making the It cannot be safely withdrawn.

At this point, the cane caught by vampire began to swing violently, struggling violently in vampire's hands, trying to get rid of vampire's control.

At this moment, a blade slashed down, directly hitting the part of the cane that was torn by vampire. Rhodes came to vampire at some point and joined the fight.

Although torn by vampire, the rattan's appearance is still tenacious, and it bounces off the blade cut off by Rhodes.

Seeing that the weapon in his hand was unable to deal effective damage to the cane, Rhodes quickly took out a dagger from the space ring.

The dagger slid across Rhodes' arm, and the red light exploded.

Rhodes swung the dagger without any hindrance, severing the vampire-entangling cane in an instant.
