Chapter 1498: The Underworld
With a flash of fire, Rhodes and Inota came to a deep underground passage.
Looking around, it was an abandoned altar, and not far from the ground, there were traces of dried blood and scorched by the flames.
Rhodes felt a sense of familiarity with his surroundings, the place where he fought the Inquisitor Kanathan and transformed it into a Death Knight.
The nearby walls were covered with a dense cluster of bone snakes, their eyes glowing scarlet, and they stretched to the end of the passage.
"Is this the underworld?" Inota asked curiously, and she reached out and ripped a bone snake from a nearby wall, "Why are there undead creatures here?" ”
Under her clench, the bone snake did not dare to move at all, and seeing this, Rhodes explained: "This is not the underground world yet, it can only be counted as a location below the surface, we need a guide who knows the underground world very well, and take us to the realm of the sorcerer." ”
As he spoke, Rhodes turned sideways, a flame burning in his eyes, and looked into the empty distance, where he felt a familiar aura.
Soon, the fire flashed, and the snake-tailed Canathan appeared in front of Rod.
"Master, Death Knight Carnathan, follow your cries." Canathan leaned down and greeted respectfully.
Looking at the death knight in front of him, Rhodes had some doubts in his heart and asked, "What kind of demon bloodline do you have in your body, and why can you cast the flame escape exclusive to the Great Demon?" ”
"I have the blood of the Abyss Demon flowing through my body, and I can transform dead creatures into low-level long-horned demons. As for the ability to escape from flames, it was a gift from the Demon King after I dug a lot of tunnels beneath Erathia. ”
Rhodes nodded, just as he had obtained the Omen of Doom and gained great power from it, Kanathan had also gained great power from the demons because of his exploits in digging underground passages.
As he spoke, Kanathan raised his hand and looked towards his body: "Since accepting the power you gave me, the bloodline in my body has gradually weakened, and now, I can no longer enter the demon form, and even the flame escape will take a lot of effort to exert it. I don't know exactly what's going on......"
Rhodes thought for a moment and said, "This is normal, the Death Knights are originally undead creatures, they can retain their abilities and even memories before they were born, but the power of the bloodline cannot be left." Your body is long dead, the blood circulating in your body is no longer warm, and it won't be long before you lose the power of your bloodline completely. ”
Seeing Kanathan looking at him in a daze, Rhodes shrugged: "Don't worry, when I transformed you, I gave you the power of the Corpse Witch King, and you can transform all dead creatures into ordinary corpse witches." ”
"Thank you for the grace of your master." Canathan leaned down slightly, a hint of frenzy flashed in his eyes, and said.
"Take me to the underworld now." Rhodes ordered, "Use your flame escape to send us to Cold Studios, the capital of the Sorcerer Realm." ”
Canathan's gaze swept over Rod and Inotta, and asked tentatively, "Is it just the two of you?" ”
"Do you have any comments?" On the side, Inotta, who couldn't speak, finally found an opportunity and glared at Kanathan.
"Naturally, I don't have an opinion, it's just that when a powerful lord travels, he always brings a lot of servants and subordinates with him......"
Kanathan replied respectfully, and then looked at Rhodes: "I just arrived here with a flame escape, please give me some time to prepare for the spell." ”
Rod nodded, he who had mastered the ability of flame escape, naturally understood that this powerful skill could not be used continuously, and there would be a period of cooling over the space at a long distance.
In addition, the Flame Escape can be said to have no shortcomings, even if it is the limitation of the plane, it can be directly crossed, and at this point, its ability is already equivalent to the gate of another dimension.
"Take this time to tell me about the underworld and the situation in Nigon, the kingdom of sorcerers. Have there been any anomalies in the recent past? Rod asked.
Canathan thought for a moment, and finally sighed, "Recently, I have been leading my men to dig underground passages under Erathia. I don't know what's going on in the underworld. If the master wants this information, I can find some informed-minded sorcerers for you. ”
"Let's do it." Rod replied in a deep voice.
After waiting around the altar for a few moments, Canathan put his hands on Rhodes and Inotta, and as the flames flickered, they headed out into the depths of the earth.
When you arrive at the new location, the air around you is thinned, the flames on the torches are the only remaining light source here, the overhead is covered with strange-looking rocks, and there is a strange aura lurking in the deep darkness in the distance.
"Master, please wait here for a moment, I'll go find a suitable sorcerer." Canathan asked.
Seeing that Rod nodded in agreement, she quickly squirmed her serpentine body, and a few of her bodies disappeared into the deepest part of the passage.
"This is the Underworld......" Looking at Inota beside him, Rhodes' eyes lit up with fire.
Since he didn't bring the MONOCULUS with him, Rhodes had to rely on the power of the bloodline at all times to see what was going on around him.
After this period of trying, Rhodes has been able to control the degree of bloodline activation, so that he only activates the bloodline near his eyeball and restores his eyesight, without the transformation of the Great Demon form all over his body.
Beside Rod, Inota looked at the void in the distance as if she hadn't heard what he said, and didn't come back to her senses for a while.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything out of the ordinary? Rod patted Inota on the back and asked.
Being slapped by Rod like this, Inota suddenly came back to his senses and said sideways: "I feel a special aura...... I can't tell what this aura is, just like the aura of those holy dragons, which has both majesty and love. I was fascinated by this breath, and I wanted to explore the source of the breath! ”
Hearing Inota say this, Rhodes was a little puzzled, he felt it carefully, but he didn't feel any breath, as if the breath in her mouth didn't exist at all.
After a little thought, Rhodes realized the problem. Only a true dragon can perceive the breath that Inota is talking about, and no other creature can perceive it at all.
Recalling the events of the underworld, Rhodes seemed to realize something when he looked at Inota beside him, and before he could ask more, Kanathan returned from the end of the passage with a sorcerer.
