Chapter 81: Attacked
As Rod rode his horse, he checked the bat-transformation skills he had learned.
Originally, although Rhodes learned batatization, he used it immediately, and did not see the effect of batting. At this time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Rod checked the effect of batting:
[Bat Lv1]: Consumes 75% of your current health and turns itself into a large number of vampire bats to attack nearby creatures. The maximum number of uses per day is the number of steps*2.
The battify duration is up to 60 seconds. During the duration of batting, the body can be restored at any time. When more than half of the bats are lost, the body will be forcibly restored. After batatization, the number of bats left will be returned.
Since your rank is not related to the Bloodline/Hexor, you will receive an additional penalty for the Bat Transform you cast.
When you cast Batatization, the current health consumed is 100% instead of 75%. You can't use XP to increase your batta level. When you use 2 bats for less than 12 hours, the base stat drops by 1 point randomly. ”
After examining the attributes of batting, Rhodes fully understood this skill.
Due to his rank, Rhodes can't use batting as a way of fighting like a vampire, and can only be used as a hole card to save his life.
After confirming the effect of batting, Rhodes continued to drive the carriage forward.
Following the surrounding road, Rhodes came to a fork in the road. Open the map, and according to the map, Rhodes drove the carriage to the road on the left.
The carriage traveled all the way, while the undead creatures followed behind the carriage.
Although the terrain is gentle, the surrounding trees are still lush. Due to the inaccessibility and overgrown weeds on the roads, Rhodes did not travel very fast. It is only when you get to the depths of Diya that the situation will improve.
Just behind the carriage driven by Rhodes, beside the road he had passed earlier, there was a noise from among the trees.
At this time, inside the bushes, there were two dark shadows lurking, watching Rhodes moving forward.
As if confirming something, the black shadows confirmed each other, as if they had reached a consensus.
The two shadows made a quick decision, one of them continued to follow Rhodes in this way, following him all the way, making some special marks on the surrounding trees, while the other quickly departed in one direction.
The dark shadow leaped out of the bushes, exposed to the sunlight, revealing its original size, a centaur.
Due to the large number of undead creatures following the carriage, coupled with the death energy inside the carriage, it was difficult not to be noticed by the centaurs with excellent detection skills when so many undead creatures were advancing together.
Rhodes didn't know what was happening behind him, but drove the carriage and continued to march forward.
As you go along, the scenery around you remains the same, and the time passes slowly, and it is close to evening at this time.
After driving the carriage all day, although Rhodes did not feel any discomfort, he was still a little sleepy mentally.
The undead creatures must not be able to drive the carriage, so Rhodes had to let them follow around. Due to the need to constantly compare maps and control the carriage, Rhodes had no way to make any improvements.
This couldn't help but make Rhodes think of the moment when he was in the merchant group, he also drove with the carriage, but this time it was himself who drove the carriage.
After a short time of continuing to walk forward, the sky was gradually getting darker, and Rod stopped the carriage.
Rhodes got up from the driver's seat and got inside the carriage.
Inside the carriage, the vampire was still dormant, and the perception from the mental imprint was very stable, and the vampire was completely immersed in this state.
A lot of time has passed since the vampire was interrupted by Rhodes in the tomb, and it has reached a critical point at this time.
Rhodes knew that if the vampire was allowed to continue absorbing the death energy released by the Revenant Crystal, it wouldn't be long before the vampire would be able to enter the fourth order.
Once a creature enters the fourth order, its strength will be greatly improved, whether it is basic attributes or special skills, it will produce a lot of changes.
At this time, the spiritual attribute of Rhodes occupied by the vampire also changed from the original 3 points to 4 points. This change did not happen in a short period of time, but continued to improve, and it was only at this point that Rod noticed this and realized it.
Ignoring the vampires, Rhodes set his eyes on the two corpses in front of him.
After a period of processing of the Revenant Crystal, after absorbing enough death energy, the two corpses have undergone a lot of changes, and the decay on their bodies has stopped, and they have transformed a lot in the direction of the undead creatures.
If Rhodes doesn't do anything with them, after a while, they will be transformed into walking corpses under the influence of death energy.
Therefore, when he determined that most of the transformation process was already underway, Rhodes planned to immediately proceed to further process them.
Wearing the title of [Necromancer], Rod's Spiritualism level has reached the expert level.
Transforming higher-level undead creatures requires a special ritual. With the help of expert-level spiritualism, the method of how to perform the ritual had already appeared in Rod's mind.
The transformation ritual requires the host of the ritual to have a higher level of spiritualism and occultism, and the level of spiritualism must be possessed, otherwise the ritual cannot be maintained. The occult level can be replaced by Revenant Crystals, and Rhodes has a lot of Revenant Crystals at this time.
Rod took out a few revenant crystals from the spatial ring again, and was about to put these revenant crystals in a special formation in the small space in the carriage, at this time, Rod keenly felt the abnormality.
Rhodes quickly came to the side of the carriage, pushed open the curtain on the side, and looked out.
As soon as the curtain was opened, Rhodes quickly dodged behind him, and at the same time quickly took out a shield from the spatial ring.
At this time, the vampire who had been dormant also noticed the abnormality, and directly got out of the dormant state and dodged to the side.
A rain of arrows shot in from both sides of the carriage, and the original canvas on both sides of the carriage was directly pierced by the arrows, especially at the exit in front of the carriage, which was surrounded by trembling arrows.
Fortunately, Rhodes withdrew to the rear of the carriage in time, leaning over and protecting his shield in front of him. Since the shield is made very wide, it is a good way to block arrows.
The vampire also came to the back of the carriage, holding in his hand the corpse of the old man who was originally inside the carriage, blocking it in front of him.
The arrows pierced the canvas on both sides of the carriage, mostly stuck to the planks at the bottom of the carriage. The corpse of the necromancer in the carriage was filled with arrows. Both Rhodes and the vampire found the shield in time and were unharmed.
After a rain of arrows, the canvas around the carriage was all broken, and the creatures outside could see the inside of the carriage clearly.
Rod quickly took out his iron sword and rushed out of the rags.
