Rhodes led his undead creatures towards the mayor's mansion.

As the distance from the mansion grew closer, Rhodes felt a strong aura of death.

The aura of death was released from the inside of the mansion to the surroundings, and this aura was far greater than Rhodes had felt before, and Rhodes knew that the mayor must have prepared something inside the mansion.

Although he had felt the abnormality in the mansion before, Rhodes didn't take it to heart, and at this time, the aura of death around him was undoubtedly reminding Rhodes how powerful the enemies inside the mansion were.

At present, since the Yin Soul occupies a large number of Rod's spiritual attributes, Rod's spiritual attributes are only the last 0.3. And Rod's mana is also not much left, only enough to cast the last magic arrow, which does not have a critical impact on the battle situation.

Rhodes knew that if he wanted to capture the mansion, he had to rely on the undead creatures he controlled.

Leading the surrounding undead creatures, Rhodes came to the front of the mansion.

The door of the mansion was closed, and there were sparks left around it, but instead of continuing to burn, they remained in this form.

From the ground beside him, Rhodes picked up the torch that the walking corpse had been holding, and lit it with the help of the flames burning in the courtyard.

Rhodes handed the burning torch to a nearby ghost and told him to try to use it to set fire to the outer walls of the mansion.

The ghost took the torch and came to the front of the mansion. The ghost brought the torch in his hand closer to the mansion, but nothing changed, and the flames did not ignite the walls of the mansion in the slightest.

Seeing this, Rhodes can be regarded as confirming the thoughts in his heart.

Long before the necromancer cast the wall of fire, Rhodes noticed the anomaly here.

It stands to reason that the wall of fire will dissipate after its duration has reached its end, but the flames generated at the entrance of the mansion will cause the walls around the mansion to burn.

However, the situation was different from what Rhodes expected, after the fire wall disappeared, the flames next to it also disappeared, and it did not affect the mansion at all, but in the courtyard in front of the mansion, there were still some sparks.

However, Rod didn't have any other ideas, and used the torch just to confirm what he had seen before, and Rod had already prepared for this in his heart.

Ahead, a ghost follows Rod's instructions and comes to the gate of the mansion.

The ghost stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door slowly opened, revealing the deep space inside the mansion, and Rod took the opportunity to look into the interior of the mansion.

There are candlesticks on the walls of the mansion, which are lit at this time, illuminating the surrounding scene. In addition, there are no restrictions on the way to enter the mansion, as if waiting for Rhodes' arrival.

Rod let the ghosts around him enter first, followed by the ghosts controlled by Rod, and Rod followed the surrounding ghosts into the mansion together.

In order to deal with a possible surprise attack, Rhodes kept the vampire by his side, so that in case of danger, the vampire could step forward as soon as possible so that Rhodes could react.

Before stepping through the door of the mansion, a thought flashed through Rhodes' mind, and that was to leave with these undead creatures around him. Since this trip has already gained a lot, plus he has obtained a map to the City of Sorrow, Rhodes can leave directly without fighting the mayor.

According to the strength that the mayor originally showed, if Rod chooses to leave, the mayor will definitely not be able to keep Rode.

However, Rhodes did not want to leave just like that. As Rhodes realized from the beginning, every battle is an opportunity to increase his strength.

The mayor's methods, Rod has seen a lot. The only things that Rod can't get for sure are the undead creatures lurking inside the mansion and the spells mastered by the mayor, which are the possible problems in the battle with the mayor.

Even if he didn't know about these situations, Rhodes had a general understanding of the mayor's overall strength. If you choose to leave easily at this time, you will undoubtedly let your own opportunities be lost in vain.

Following the undead creatures beside him, Rhodes entered the interior of the mayor's mansion. The interior of the mansion is spacious enough for the undead creatures around Rhodes to fight here.

As soon as he entered the interior of the mansion, Rod's eyes were locked on a house inside the mansion. This house is where Rhodes felt the abnormality when he first came to the mansion to test it.

At this time, the mansion was filled with a strong aura of death, and the concentration of the aura of death far exceeded what Rhodes had previously perceived. And the source of these death energies is also the house that Rhodes is looking at.

As early as the first time he came to the mansion to probe it, Rhodes felt the death energy here, but it was far less intense than it is now.

Even when Rhodes was fighting the necromancer, he didn't feel this death energy around the mansion. If Rhodes had noticed the anomaly at the time, he wouldn't have immediately taken action at the necromancer.

Rhodes realizes that the death energy around him is the same one that Mayor Mare has created while he is fighting the necromancer.

The undead creatures beside Rod also felt the death energy around them, and began to have some restlessness, and Rhodes used the spirit imprint in time to suppress the restlessness of the undead creatures.

With the undead creatures around him, Rhodes walked towards the room with the anomaly.

Nearby, the ghost who had tried to set the mansion on fire still had a torch in his hand. Rhodes sends the ghost to the door of the room and allows the ghost to try to set the surrounding objects on fire.

The walls outside the mansion have some kind of paint that isolates the flames from burning on the walls, but there is certainly no such paint on the objects inside the mansion to resist the flames.

Rhodes asked the Shade to set these items on fire, hoping to set the mansion on fire from within.

Because he didn't know the strength of the undead creatures hidden inside the mansion, coupled with the mayor's other means, Rhodes didn't dare to directly go to war with the mayor, and still wanted to use the flames to give himself an advantage.

If you can set the mansion on fire from within, you can force out the hidden undead creatures.

The ghost came to the front of the door that Rhodes was pointing at, and was about to set it on fire with a torch, when suddenly, a dark shadow pierced through the corner of the door, burst out of the door, and struck the ghost in an instant.

The shadow struck the ghost, denting the robe in front of it.

The ghost's body trembled at the impact, but it instantly adjusted, and was about to fight back against the black shadow, when the black shadow quickly poked out and circled around the ghost, and at the same time quickly exerted force, pulling the ghost backwards.

The ghost slammed directly into the wooden door, making a loud noise, and even Rhodes behind him could hear it clearly.

At this moment, another black shadow shot out, and a hole was cracked above the door, and the position corresponding to this hole was the head of the ghost.

In an instant, in Rhodes' perception, the ghost's spiritual imprint dissipated.

From the time the ghost prepared to set the door on fire, to the moment it was attacked and killed by this black shadow, it was only a split second.

Although the surrounding undead creatures reacted and prepared to attack, under Rhode's control, these undead creatures did not make any moves, but waited in place.

Just as the black shadow in the room attacked the ghost, through the light of the torch in the ghost's hand, Rod also saw the appearance of this black shadow, which was a huge rattan.

I don't know if it's because of the light, but in the darkness, because only a little firelight provides a vision, the rattan shows a bright red color under the light of the fire.

At this point, as the ghost died, the torch fell to the ground, and the rattan went straight through the door and whipped violently against the torch on the ground. The tremors reached Rod's feet, and the rattan directly extinguished the flames.

When the flames were extinguished, the rattan retreated back into the door as if nothing had happened, and there was silence all around.

At the door, it was as if nothing had happened except for the dead ghost and the broken door.

Although he lost a ghost in an instant, Rhodes didn't feel that it was worth it. The ghost used its life to allow Rhodes to see the anomalies in the mansion.

Rhodes knew that the enemy in front of him was stronger than he expected. The rattan dares to slap a falling torch directly to the ground, indicating that it has some resistance to flames.

This inevitably caused Rhodes to change his original plan, originally Rhodes planned to use the flames to force the mayor out of the shadows, but due to the power shown by the rattan, Rod had to abandon this idea.

Rhodes looked at the space in the room, the interior of the room was pitch black, Rhodes couldn't know what was inside, he could only feel the strong energy of death.

Due to seeing part of the enemy's body, Rod also has some ideas about rattan, but he still doesn't know about the overall situation of the enemy, and if he wants to defeat the previous rattan, Rod still needs to obtain more information.

Thinking of the power shown by the rattan before, coupled with the terrain restrictions here, if Rhodes insisted on letting all the undead creatures under his command rush up, under the attack of the rattan, there would be a lot of damage, plus the mayor lurking in the mansion, even if they swarmed up, it would be difficult for these undead creatures to play a role.

Rhodes knew that he couldn't storm it, and that he had to use other methods to break through the mayor's mansion.

At this moment, the vampire next to Rhodes stepped forward and came to the door of the house. Following Rod's instructions, the vampire prepares to step forward and test the vine.

Since there was not much difference between the Yin Soul and the Ghost as a whole, but the basic attributes were high, it was still difficult to resist the attack of this kind of rattan, so Rod did not send the Yin Spirit to test the rattan.

Unlike vampires, vampires focus on survival, although they are still in the third order, but their bat-turn skills can effectively avoid the attacks of this rattan.

Compared to the ghosts, the vampires are more conscious, and although they can't accurately tell Rhodes through words, they can express the general content to Rhodes through spiritual imprints.

Therefore, Rhodes asked the vampire to come to the front to test it.

In the previous battle with the Necromancer, Rhodes only let the vampire drag the ghost, and at this time, the vampire's bat-turn ability still retains a lot of use.

The vampire came out of the room, and the rattan shot straight out of the door again.

Since the vampire had seen how the ghost was killed by the rattan earlier, he had a warning in his heart, and in the face of the attacking rattan, the vampire dodged directly to the side, trying to avoid the impact of the rattan.

However, after this vine hit the air, another vine shot straight from the side. Just as the vampire dodged, the tip of the rattan crutched, and the vampire couldn't dodge it, and was directly wrapped around the rattan.

The vampire tried to use its claws to cut through the rattan on its body, but due to the huge size of the rattan as a whole, the vampire was unable to break free for a while, although he tore some of the rattan wrapped around his body.

At this moment, another rattan stick next to it also wrapped around the vampire's body, and then pulled the vampire towards the door. At the same time, the next rattan shot out from inside the door to the vampire's head. The original ghost was directly killed by this cooperation between the rattans.

In the face of the direct rays of rattans, the vampire had to choose to turn into a bat in order to avoid being hit hard by two rattans on his body.

As soon as the strength of the rattan wrapping loosened, the vampire that had been pulled by the rattan turned into a black mist. Due to the sudden loss of the target of the entanglement, the rattan shrank towards the black mist in the middle, but it had no effect.

Another rattan struck through the black mist, causing no damage to the vampire.

The bats pounced out of the black mist and bit directly at the nearby rattans, and in addition, many bats flew towards the interior of the room according to Rod's instructions.

At this time, the rattan began to twitch wildly, slapping itself against the ground and the surrounding walls, destroying the bats that hung on it and biting them, and the entire mansion vibrated violently due to the rattan beating.

In an instant, a large number of bats that were biting the rattan died, and a large amount of black mist burst out of the rattan. And the bats that flew into the interior of the room were equally uncomfortable, and it seemed that there were still such rattans inside, killing the bats directly.

Due to the extremely wide size of the rattans, coupled with their violent whipping, most of the bats transformed by the vampires died in a short period of time, and after losing a certain number of bats, the remaining bats retreated towards the door.

Just as the bats retreated, the vines caught up and began to frantically whip the bats in the air.

Since the bat was bent on retreating, the rattan could only quickly whip a few times, and then as if it had reached the maximum distance it had extended, it could not reach the bat in the air, so it could only hit the ground a few times, and finally retracted into the room.

The bats gathered around Rod, and as a black mist swept by, the figure of the vampire appeared.

Rhodes held out his hand, and the vampire placed an item in Rhodes' hand, and Rhodes looked down to look at it.

By the original candlelight inside the mansion, Rod saw the object in his hand clearly. It looks like a small white bone, but it is not as hard as a bone, but on the contrary, it has good toughness and is easy to bend. Rod tried, but couldn't rip it off on his own.

What the vampire gave to Rhodes was part of the rattan's body that was torn off from the rattan that was wrapped around him before the vampire turned into a bat.
