Rhodes quickly made his way towards the mountains, and his surroundings gradually became abnormal.

Inside the original passage, the surrounding ore walls were still hard, and although there were many cracks due to the explosion of death energy, it also required Rhodes to dig hard after the spell hit to clear a path.

As the passage slowly extended, the space in which Rod could move began to shrink, which caused Rod a lot of trouble. Due to the shrinking space of movement, Rhodes could not dig the mine wall with all his strength, and could only rely on the effect of spells.

However, Rhodes noticed that as he approached the location of the Mother of Souls, the surrounding walls gradually became extremely loose, and he was able to quickly break through them without even a spell strike, as if the walls had been completely eroded by death energy before that.

After discovering this, Rhodes was relieved, although the whole mountain was shaking violently, but this could not affect Rhodes's movements at this time.

Prior to this, Rhodes had also tried to absorb the surrounding death energy and replenish a little mana, but for some reason, the death energy around him was extremely repulsive to Rhodes' absorption, and even the death energy originally released by Rhodes could not have any connection with Rhodes.

Rhodes knew that this should also be a means used by the Mother of the Dead, blocking his absorption of the death energy around him. Therefore, Rhodes was more cautious about the use of mana.

Fortunately, Rowling followed in time and cast spells one after another, allowing Rod to concentrate on clearing the road and solving Rode's problem. Without Rowling following behind, I'm afraid it won't be long before Rhodes will have to find a way out of here, and the Mother of the Dead will have to be buried deep in this collapsed mine.

Fortunately, due to the long-term erosion of death energy, the ore wall in front of it no longer needs to be cleaned by spells, and even a group of orcs can do this quickly.

The extent of the erosion inside the mountain was beyond Rhodes's expectations, and it stands to reason that this place should have collapsed long ago when the entire mountain began to collapse due to the explosion of death energy, but looking at the appearance of things around it, it seems that it can hold out for a long time.

With the target already locked, Rhodes didn't need to change direction, just moved towards a position. Soon, Rhodes was in the location where the perception came out, where the Mother of the Dead was located.

With the light of the fire in Rowling's hands behind him, Rod also noticed the scene ahead.

On the darker mine wall ahead, there seemed to be a glimmer of sparks as well, and when Rhodes got closer, he noticed that these sparks were only illusory existences, reflected by something that existed on the mine wall.

When the excavation reached here, Rod stopped what he was doing, and reached out directly to remove the object that existed on the mine wall.

With this action of Rod, the death energy of the surrounding riot gradually stopped, and the shaking of the mountain began to decrease, although there were still falling rocks, but it could not affect Rhodes at this time.

【Mother of the Dead】

Quality: Treasure

Type: Special item

Special attributes: 1. When creating undead creatures, it can improve the quality of undead creatures to a certain extent and sublimate them. 2. Full control over a large area of Revenant Crystals.

…………

Through the news from the system, Rhodes also confirmed that what he was holding in his hand was the mother of the dead soul he was looking for.

What drew Rhodes' attention was that the Mother of the Revenant already had her own consciousness and was able to transform the undead creatures to defend and fight on her own, which the system did not mention.

Holding the Mother of the Dead in his hands, Rhodes could even feel an unwilling consciousness within it, but it didn't work, and once Rhodes discovered its location, no matter what it did, it couldn't get rid of the result.

The Mother of the Undead can essentially improve the quality of the undead creatures, and does not even need to consume the necromancer's own death energy, as long as there are enough Revenant Crystals, the Mother of the Revenant can directly extract the death energy to create undead creatures.

Rod recalls that there are only a few ways to directly improve the quality of undead creatures. For a necromancer, being able to do this is tantamount to greatly increasing his strength.

If there is no Mother of Revenants, the corpse of a second-order creature, even if the necromancer's level of spiritualism is sufficient, it can only be transformed into a second-order undead creature at most, and then if you want to increase the level of the undead creature again, you can only rely on the accumulation of time.

However, after obtaining the Mother of Revenants, even the non-rank half-orc corpses can be transformed into undead creatures of the third order, and there is no limit, as long as there are enough corpses, a large number of transformations can be carried out.

It can be said that as long as the Mother of Dead Souls is obtained, any necromancer can do something.

At this point, the effect of the Mother of the Revenant is very similar to that of another artifact in Rod's memory, the Cloak of the Ghost King, which can also increase the level of the undead creatures, but compared to the Cloak of the Ghost King, the effect of the Mother of the Revenant is far worse.

Although it can improve the quality of undead creatures, the effect of the Mother of Dead enhancement is fixed and there is an upper limit.

For creatures that don't have a rank, the Mother of Revenants may be able to raise them to around the third order, but for creatures that are themselves at the fourth order or above, the Mother of the Revenant has very little effect, and it can't be like an artifact, so that the increased effect increases with the controller's Spiritualism level.

Moreover, whenever the Mother of the Undead increases the attributes of the undead creatures, it consumes a large amount of death energy, which is far beyond the limit that ordinary necromancers can provide, so it can only be provided by relying on the Revenant Crystal. If you don't have a lot of gold, you won't even be able to provide Revenant Crystals, and naturally you won't be able to convert them.

In contrast, the creation of undead creatures through the Ghost King's cloak does not have any consumption, but it can directly transform the corpses of ordinary people into corpse witches above the fifth order, which can be said to completely violate the concept that necromancers have always had.

In the face of such a powerful artifact, as long as it is a necromancer, there will be a desire to have it in his heart. And the controller of the ghost king's cloak is naturally worthy of this artifact, which is the protagonist of the second expansion, the peerless necromancer.

Rhodes has not stopped improving his strength, but when he thinks about the enemies he may face in the second expansion, he is still a little unsure.

In any case, by the time the second expansion arrives, Rhodes as a necromancer will need to return to Deya, and before that, he will need to improve his strength as much as possible in order to face the next battle.
