Chapter Twenty-Three: Stealing Chickens Doesn't Make Rice
At dusk.
Rod's figure appeared near the camp of the Osmum watchtower, his face was a little pale, but the aura on his body was very deep, and he did not reveal the injuries he had suffered from fighting against legendary spells.
With the decapitating sword on his back, and Rod's tall stature, it was easy to recognize such obvious features, and in order to avoid trouble, he made a long circle around the Ogre Valley before slowly preparing to return to the camp.
He's in a bad mood right now.
Not because he had taken a failed adventure, but because he had a vague feeling that he seemed to be involved in something, perhaps a struggle between the theocracy and secular power of the Church, or a struggle between other forces.
Rhodes was a swordsman and an experienced adventurer.
In his opinion, any great adventure should be meaningful, and even a failed adventure should be rewarding. So when he found out that there were other conspiracies behind this adventure, he did not hesitate to rush into the crowd and kill.
"His grandmother's ...... The treasure can't be moved, so it's always okay to gain a wave of experience! ”
An experienced adventurer can always find a glimmer of gain in a crisis, just like Rhodes.
"But why do I still have a feeling of stealing chickens and rice......"
Touching his chin, Rod frowned, his face still a little ugly thinking.
Indeed it is.
I used a precious epic soul in exchange for some killing experience.
It looks like a bit of a loss.
After all, killing experience can be accumulated slowly, but the opportunity to use the epic soul is difficult to replenish for a while.
The more he thought about it, the more he lost, and his face became more and more ugly.
Although before he participated in this matter, he did not have the luxury of being able to swallow all the treasures alone.
But he thought it would be no big problem to get out of it with his skills.
The result is indeed a complete escape, but the loss is not something that can be remedied by treasure in the short term.
I thought about it for a moment.
He began to calculate how much killing experience he had gained in this fight.
From the time he rushed into the crowd to open the Musou harvest, he had hacked a lot to death on the ogre's side, but the members of the Iron Sword Mercenary Regiment had also harvested a wave of human heads under his large-scale indiscriminate attacks.
Counting it, there are actually five or six thousand points of seven, seven, eight and eight.
This is still the result of his premonition that it is not good, and he leaves the frontal battlefield as soon as possible. The swordsman's instincts were sharp, and when he saw the emerald essence and the priest, Rhodes thought of the worst possible outcome, and almost immediately retreated towards the edge of the battlefield.
In fact.
Rhodes was the fastest runner, and after him, even more terrible battles broke out in the valley, and the power of the strange thing necklace exceeded all expectations.
"Alas...... Let's level up first. ”
Looking at the Osmum Watchtower camp not far away, Rhodes sat cross-legged on a large rock with a pale face.
"Distribute XP! Boost your class level with all your might! He said silently.
A dark golden light flashed across his eyes.
"Experience starts to deplete ......"
"Your class level up!"
"Successfully unlock the skill specialty [Flowing Heart], increase the specialty [Extreme Breaking Blade] to [Mastery], unlock the second-tier specialty (Auto Block) [Reverse Counterattack], ......"
"Experience Continues to Consume ......"
"Sword Soul Class Level Up! ……”
"Comprehend [Draw the Sword and Slash] and successfully improve the proficiency [Breaking the Army and Ascending the Dragon Attack]......"
“………………”
A large amount of data flowed through Rhodes's eyes, a strange force filled his limbs, and the injuries suffered by the thunder spear were gradually recovering, and his pale face began to recover slightly.
Rows and rows of familiar data came to him.

"Sure enough, I realized the ...... to draw the sword"
Rhodes twisted his neck, stood up, and his whole body crackled with a crisp sound, and a terrifying momentum instantly emanated, and he immediately put it away.
Send and receive with ease.
As soon as he advanced, Rhodes had a very precise grasp of his strength.
He clenched his fists and felt the state at the moment, although the injuries caused by the thunder spear blow had not healed, but at this time he was more than twice as strong as before, especially unlocking some new skills.
After moving my muscles and bones.
He looked up at the sky, it was getting dark.
The night in the wilderness is not so friendly to humans, and there are some very tricky things in the dark night, and after thinking about it, Rhodes raised his legs and walked towards the camp of the Osme watchtower in the distance.
………………
The atmosphere at the Osme Watchtower camp isn't quite right.
Because the Iron Sword Mercenary Regiment has returned, although they have brought back a few cartloads of treasures, they have suffered heavy losses.
It is said that the good hands of their mercenary group this time have almost lost seventy percent, and the rest are all painted on their bodies. What's worse is that their elite mercenaries were also badly damaged, and even the deputy head of the team who led the team this time returned to the camp with a weakened breath.
There were people in the camp who saw the return of the iron sword from a distance, and everyone was painted, and the whole team carried a tragic momentum, and in that tragedy there was a terrible anger.
The whole camp shook.
Many people are looking around to find out what happened in that ogre valley that actually made the always domineering and powerful Iron Sword suffer such a big loss.
The loss is more than 70%!
When the Iron Sword Mercenary Regiment participated in various battles near the coastline of the Salt Coast, it was rare for them to suffer such heavy losses, and even a deputy regiment commander who led the team was wounded, so I am afraid that there was a quasi-legendary-level combat power in the Ogre Valley.
There are no impermeable walls in this world.
Soon rumors spread in the camp.
It is said that in the final stage of the battle, someone cheated the iron sword, and there was a guy who fished in troubled waters who was also ruthless, and he didn't know what means to use to attract a fierce beast of the wilderness overlord.
Then the ogre spellcaster was also seriously underestimated, it is said that the guy was originally severely injured by the Iron Sword Mercenary Group, but in the end, he actually had a special method, and he fought back on the verge of death and burst out with terrifying power.
In a word.
Some people say that there was a multi-force scuffle in the Ogre Valley, and the Iron Sword Mercenary Regiment suffered the most casualties in this brawl.
It was a battle close to the legendary level!
As the largest Iron Sword mercenary group, where can their combatants withstand such aftermath, and they are already very fortunate that they are not completely wiped out after a battle.
