Chapter 23: The Witch's Touch

Du Jiutian, this person is indeed too cute.

Just now, he even told Rhodes that he wanted to buy more information, this kind of boss, although he has a bad temper, must be treated well.

After all, it's not easy to make money these days!

I think that at the beginning, when Rhodes was so poor that he didn't have the money to pay for the security of the great wizard, he could only tear up and cheapen the daughter of a certain nobleman who drove to Neverwinter.

Stayed with her for three whole days.

finally raised 300 gold.

Now this Dujiutian, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was five hundred gold, how could Rod not be moved, although he just vaguely felt that Zhao Yixue looked at him with a little contempt.

That's what it's like for her to be poor!

Especially for a down-and-out aristocrat like them, they are obviously poor to death, but their identities are there, and they have to slap their swollen faces and become fat, this kind of warmth and coldness is really only known to themselves.

"Young master, the situation in the forest is a little wrong, there are a large number of demonic beasts inside the forest that are rushing towards the periphery, and even the wurm species are fleeing for their lives." Rode's whisper came from Rose's ear.

Wurm species are running for their lives?

The lowest-level wurm species is at least a monster above level 20, and it is still the elite of the elite, in this world, everything related to dragons is very powerful.

It is rumored that the reason why Frontier Bo was able to become the most powerful wizard in the empire and was given the title of [Xiling Light] was because he contained a large amount of dragon blood in his body.

"I'll scout." Loth said.

Rhodes left the treehouse camp and walked to the open area, and said to the void: "No need to scout, you go back and tell Captain Gray about the situation in the Misty Forest first, and let them be on alert, in case the beast tide affects the city." ”

"Yes...... Master. ”

"Lot, this is the second time I've been knocked out."

Hidden in the shadows, Luo Si bit his lip, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "I was wrong, I won't next time." ”

.......

After Loth left.

Rod breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he is a player, with immortal attributes, even if he dies, he can be resurrected, but Luo Si is different, if he dies, he is really dead, and she did all the dangerous things before.

Now, Rhodes can protect her.

And the ancient tree camp in front of me, which has just been built for a few days, is estimated to be unable to be saved.

But that's fine.

Rhodes didn't plan to tell the player this time that there was a beast tide running out of the forest, and only if they had been beaten by the Misty Forest, especially this Fifth Shopping Street, and made them feel pain, they wouldn't mess around.

But......

Rod still informed Zhao Yixue and Ran Yibing.

"There's a tide of beasts, get out of the forest."

"How do you know?" Zhao Yixue asked.

"You don't have to worry about that!"

"Hehe, why do you only tell us and don't tell others, do you want to date us?"

"I'm fine, I'm available at any time." Ran Yibing raised his hand on the spot and said, "My senior sister and I both live in the magic capital, which city are you, Rod." ”

Zhao Yixue slapped the back of Ran Yibing's head, this guy is really a nymphomaniac, even if he blew up his address, he would blow her up.

You really have to watch it.

Otherwise, this girl will send something thousands of miles out of ten.

Rod felt that he seemed to be being teased by this Zhao Yixue again, and Rode, who is also a master, knew very well that this woman had a powerful mouth.

It's really that far.

It's really impossible to tell who is the wolf and who is the white rabbit.

You'd better not give me a chance, though.

Otherwise, let you have a good experience, what is called aristocratic roughness!!

After leaving the Ancient Tree Camp.

Rhodes set out towards the interior of the forest, and although he hadn't entered the forest for many years, he remembered the route.

When you go one kilometer deeper.

Rod, who was smeared with the juice of fishy leaves all over his body, found a large number of fifth-level moa birds, which were fleeing frantically, and it was conservatively estimated that there were more than forty of them, if they were allowed to rush to the periphery.

It was definitely a disaster for the players who were hunting, and what worried Rhodes was whether these moa birds would escape from the Misty Forest.

If you run out.

It's also a headache for the villages near the Misty Forest, and being a lord is tiring and has too many things to worry about.

Rhodes hiding in a tree.

When the moa flock passed, he climbed down, using his coquettish position and camouflage, to dodge the monsters again and again, and even saw the fleeing wurmmon with his own eyes.

It's a bull-axe dragon.

This is a wurm species with a level of about 25, the front half of the body looks like a cow, and the head has huge double horns, and when passing by, it can even directly break the big tree in front of it.

But the most terrifying thing is its tail, which is very thick, looks like an axe, and once it is swept away, there is almost no chance of survival.

And his health bar is very thick.

There are 12,000 blood points, which is more than ten times higher than that of the Flying Thunder Beast.

The armor is also very high, with more than 100 points, which is also 10 times that of the Flying Thunder Beast, and now Rhodes can't even do the simplest defense breaking.

Not to mention hunting such a behemoth alone, and its weakness is in the abdomen, which is almost impossible to hit, plus the weight of this single shipment is three tons.

It's completely impossible to turn it over and hit it.

At least the current Rhodes has nothing to do with it, but Roth spent two days five years ago grinding a bull axe dragon to death.

After two hours of hiding.

Rod went almost ten kilometers deep, and the scene in front of him made him stunned on the spot, fortunately he didn't let Roth come to scout, and after seeing the scene in front of him, he was estimated to go crazy on the spot.

Transparent tentacles, sticking out of the ground and writhing in the air, look a bit like the claws of a large octopus, as long as prey passes by.

The tentacles will twitch rapidly.

Wrap the prey, and then all the tentacles will go deep into the body of the prey, and in front of you is an iron boar, which has just been captured by the tentacles.

Tentacles entered its body from all sides, and the wail continued for a while, and the tin boar calmed down as if nothing had happened.

Then he walked some distance and began to dig up the earth and bury himself alive, and then, in less than ten minutes, Rod found the place where the tin boar had buried him alive.

A tiny, transparent tentacle grows, and it is preying on nearby insects.

Parasitism, control, reproduction.

This whole set of horrific manipulations reminded Rhodes of a nasty parasite called the Clemat, which is similar to these transparent tentacles, and they also parasitize the host's body.

It then takes control of the host's brain and drives them into the water to drown so that they can escape into the water.

It's different from the Wire Snake.

This transparent tentacle captures the host, then forcibly injects it, and controls them to bury themselves, and it is estimated that the entire body will become the energy for the growth of the tentacles.

Rhodes used all things as an interpreter when watching them.

Witch's Touch!

???

???

Except for the name, there is little useful information to be obtained, and Rhodes, who has been using the interpreter of all things for so many years, has encountered such a situation for the third time.

The first time was naturally that black goat woman.

The second time was the relics of the imperial capital.

The third time is the tentacles in front of you.

Although it is impossible to obtain useful information, the daimyo of the Witch's Touch, Rhodes has heard of it since he was a child.

It is one of the five major disasters of the continent.

Legend has it that in the distant past, there was an extinction catastrophe, something called the Witch's Touch, which spread across the continent and wiped out four-fifths of the population.

However, that time was man-made, and the witch's touch was terrifying, but like a tree, it could not move, and could only reproduce and spread by means of predation and parasitism.

But once it is intervened by humans.

They can take root and grow all over the continent, and the most troublesome thing at present is that this tentacle-like thing is very difficult to eliminate, and Rhodes can see them because he has an interpreter of all things, and ordinary people can't see it with the naked eye, unless there is a witch hunter who can smell the witch with him.

Otherwise, let alone exterminate them, you won't even be able to see them.

And the most devastating thing is.

This thing is immune to all physical attacks, and only priests who have received the blessing of the seven gods can cause damage to them, and now in the entire Xiling Empire, there are no more than twenty priests who have been blessed by the seven gods.

And each of them is in a high position, will come to such a dangerous place as the Misty Forest to help him destroy the Witch's Touch?

This is obviously impossible.

But what makes Rhodes most depressed is that at present, the entire continent, which is also near the sea in the south, occasionally appears Witch Touch, how can he, the northern realm where birds don't, have such a thing?

And what really puzzled Rhodes was that in the misty forest full of demonic beasts, once the witch's touch broke out, it would be catastrophic, and it was estimated that it would take less than a year.

The whole forest will be covered with this thing.

According to the analysis of the current situation, it is estimated that this thing has only broken out recently, otherwise the demonic beasts in the misty forest would have fled long ago.

"Artificial?" Rod muttered to himself, feeling that something was wrong.

Over the years, Rhodes has been concerned about rumors that the Earl's Border Mansion is haunted.

When Ivan the Great Wizard of Surian talked about this matter, he was very taboo and a little secretive, but Rod felt that this matter was not so simple.

"Roaring ......"

There was a sudden roar in his ears, a huge sound wave, which made the surrounding trees tremble, and Rhodes's ears seemed to be deaf at that moment, and his head was still a little dizzy.

The owner of this roar was terrifying.
