Chapter 18: The Cave of the Black Mist
"Thunder, Viku, it's here! There's a big guy in the back, slip away! ”
Sou!
A sound of breaking the air sounded, and then a thick black shadow vine rushed out of the ground and slapped down fiercely, fortunately, the effect of "thunder blessing" was still there, and the hammer turned around and ran a little embarrassed, shouting while running.
"That's a flower demon?"
Rhodes looked at the vine with incredible speed and explosiveness, and his face was a little unbearable, it was at least a flower demon close to the legendary level, and it should have been mutated, otherwise this vine would not be so terrifying.
Boom!
Soon, another pitch-black vine came out of the cavern, and two vines plunged into the ground, bombarding the hammer that had taken away the Demon Fruit.
Rhodes stared at the cave where the vines stretched out, no surprise, there should be a road to the [Black and White Secret Realm], but obviously in order to pass through safely, he had to fight with the huge damn flower demon in front of him.
Of course.
If the cave leads to the [Black and White Secret Realm], then Rod's journey to the other world is probably going to end here. Looking at the huge flower demon, Rod's face was not particularly good, because looking at this big guy reminded him of some bad memories.
In the sea near the distant Salt Coast, there is a monster that is close to a demigod at the legendary level, and that monster is good at attacking the enemy with countless tentacles.
A body that obscures the sky, a hard, elusive tentacle, and a will that cannot be controlled by psychic spells.
It's all so similar to back then.
Although the size of the flower demon is not fully revealed, it obviously belongs to the category of "large lifeforms", this kind of physique allows it to ignore most minor damage, and the elusive tentacles can easily break through the warrior's defenses and cut to the back row of mages, and worst of all, it is also a plant species, unless it is some shepherd or powerful druid, they will be immune to all psychic spells.
This monster is an existence that Rhodes can't kill at the moment!
But he had to take a gamble.
Bet that the monster's cave has a passage to the [Black and White Secret Realm], and bet that Rhodes can successfully avoid its attack by virtue of the experience of defeating the Salt Coast Behemoth.
Make up your mind and do it!
Rhodes rushed towards the hammer, the sword in his hand was full of sword energy, and he was ready to use the swordsmanship of a sword saint who was currently at the peak of the Ash Continent, Hurricane Style! It was a high-level use of the Sword Master's "Qi", and if it weren't for the blessing of the "Thunder Blessing", Rod wouldn't have even thought about it before he advanced and changed jobs.
Hurricane style!
This is the famous skill of the master known as one of the "Four Sword Saints", although Rhodes can't use the kind of hurricane swordsmanship that tears everything apart, but it is still possible to test the vine with "qi" for a short time.
Sonor! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rhodes sideways horizontal sword blocked in front of the hammer, the hurricane-like sword qi and vines collided together, and the two made a sound of violent metal friction when they touched, and then Rod felt the huge power from the sword body, and then in the grateful and frightened eyes of the hammer, Rhodes was blasted out of the distance, and smashed a few boulders in one breath before he could stop.
"Ahem......"
The dusty, gray-faced Rod struggled to get up, he looked very miserable at this time, the short sword in his hand was broken inch by inch, and then there was no trace of blood on his face, and blood was constantly dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Throwing away the broken sword, Rhodes spat out another mouthful of blood, he drew another short sword, his eyes were red and bloodshot staring at the vine, and there was a hint of violence on his calm face.
"It's almost impossible to fight head-on!"
This is the conclusion that has just been tested by the blow of it, the short sword hurricane style, almost the most suitable for the short sword swordsmanship, in this case the use of this sword is the most power-consuming way, but despite this, the huge power still crushed Rod's skill.
This is the one force down ten meetings.
"But it's still trying to find the limit of its power!"
Rod laughed a little nervously, and with that embarrassed appearance, it was a little abnormal.
Although the cost of temptation was a bit great, he still tested the speed and strength of the vine. With that blow just now, he immediately judged the impact of the vine's head-on hard collision with his rich adventure experience.
However, the blow still made him very uncomfortable, and now the bones in his body were aching faintly, and the huge force blasted into his body, causing some internal organs to shift a little. The power of the thundering blessing is rapidly dissipating, and even if it is a blessing of this BUG level, it cannot quickly recover Rhode's damage at this moment.
"This thundering blessing is probably related to the tribes near [Thundering Peak]!"
Feeling this somewhat powerful mess of blessings, Rhodes speculated in his heart that many of the centaurs in the Shadow Realm were terrestrial exiled tribes, and he heard that [Thundering Peak] had a large-scale civil war many years ago, many races participated in it, and some defeated tribes later went into exile, and the "Thundering Heart" was actually very similar to some sacrificial spells on the side of [Thundering Peak].
"Brother Rhodes, let's go!"
Hammer looked at Rhodes who was in a daze, and shouted anxiously, as a dwarf in the Shadow Realm, they don't like to laugh and joke very much, and they are quite wary of strangers, dwarves often say that "it takes hundreds of years to become friends from acquaintance", but apparently Rhodes's actions have won Hammer's trust just now.
Rhodes didn't respond to the hammer's shout, he calmly allocated the free attribute points obtained from the upgrade to physical strength, and the blessing of a few attributes could temporarily repair some of his injuries, and what he had to do next required the perfect cooperation of the brain and body.
Rush!
He rushed in the direction of the vine with Hammer's somewhat dull eyes, and at this moment his speed had almost reached the extreme of a professional of this level.
- Shadow Slash!
With the skill's built-in sliding speed, Rod flexibly avoided the attacks of the huge vines, he was like a parkour enthusiast who pursued extreme thrills, and with the displacement of various sword skills, he could always skillfully avoid those attacks.
"Humph!"
Rod snorted coldly, his eyes focused on the attack trajectory of those vines and the location of their appearance, he distributed each force with great care and precision, and his steps were full of fluidity.
"I'm the man who once killed the king of the Western law with a walk-in show! Even the spear god known as the "Silver Flash" sings about conquest under my sword, little vine, can you stop me! ”
Shadow Slash! Whirlwind whirlwind! Swordsmanship!
In the dull eyes of Fury Thunder and Viku and the others, Rhodes was like a gorgeous dancer, using gorgeous skill movements that could not be expressed in words to avoid those extremely terrifying attacks.
Thundered!
A wide, dark, bottomless passage appeared in front of him.
Rhodes didn't even have time to observe some obvious signs of artificial excavation at the entrance of the cave, he leaped straight down, rubbing two thick vines tightly, and he rushed into the cave like this, and then, with excellent physical toughness and the last bit of thunder blessing, he placed the short sword horizontally, and galloped down like an arc of lightning.
- Arc Flash!
Although he didn't have the corresponding qi, Rhodes was forced to use it with the right geographical conditions and physical fitness, clinging to the rock walls and vines, and Rhodes slid into the depths of the cave at great speed.
