In the cave with a thick black mist, with the help of the dim rune light, Rhodes cautiously advanced.

Just a distance of more than a dozen meters.

Rhodes spent nearly an hour on the way, not just the headache-inducing Nether Age Magic Trap, but also a lot of interesting things along the way. Especially in the second half of the distance, the short cave passage is full of white bones.

"No wonder those scholars often say, 'Ancient ruins are the most faithful recorders, and they will unreservedly present the history of the past to you.'"

In fact, the favorite thing that many historians and even mages on the Ash Continent like to do is to dig up ancient ruins. There are always some unexpected discoveries in these ruins, and the overly dangerous conditions of exploration of the ruins have to some extent preserved the appearance of antiquity, but for adventurers, ruins mean wealth, but also symbolize dangerous ancient traps, and many would rather find a stable and meager job than explore the ruins once.

"This is the [Poda Corpse], looking at its remains, I'm afraid it's close to the third order."

In the second half of the passage, in addition to some dangerous traps, there are many remains of the undead. Generally speaking, undead creatures are difficult to destroy, and such creatures all have a trace of transcendent attributes, such as the [Poda Corpse] that Rhodes just saw.

Victims destroyed during contact with evil forces sometimes transform into undead creatures with a specific name known as Bodak.

The appearance of the Poda corpses will be somewhat similar to their appearance before death, but their faces will take on a distorted expression that combines madness and panic. They have smooth gray skin as well as hollow white eyes.

These undead don't have the physical ability to attack, but they possess a terrifying ability known as the "Death Gaze", which allows any humanoid creature within 30 feet to be stared at by a Poda corpse (unless physically and mentally strong enough), and a creature killed by this ability will become a Poda corpse within a day.

"Looks like there was a fierce battle when the Lich King explored this place!"

In the pile of wreckage, Rhodes used the scrapped short sword to gently flick some of the wreckage that should have been the fallen skeleton warriors, and he carefully observed that among the fallen undead here, the huge wreckage of the war horse should belong to a "dead knight" who is close to legend; The grayish-white ash in the distance, with a faint foul smell, should be the "Howling Banshee".

After a short break.

Rhodes found something good in the pile of destroyed undead remains. For example, a huge greatsword is supposed to be a weapon left behind by an undead knight, and in this corrosive black fog environment, this greatsword still retains relatively good weapon characteristics.

After picking up the greatsword, Rhodes began to scrutinize the weapon.

It was about one and a half meters long, and its blade was very wide, with a distinctly undead skull carved into the hilt, and some dark black rune lines on it made the greatsword shine a hint of black, and it seemed that these runes were what kept the greatsword safe to this day.

Touching these runes, as a professional caster, Rhodes could tell that this sword was not from the master, but should be made into a general weapon with good materials, and then enchanted by a certain enchantment master.

It seems that the owner of this sword should be the Lich King's right-hand man, and it is estimated that only the Lich has the art of enchanting in the undead system.

A row of data emerges.

"Secret Weapon!"

After Rod picked up the giant sword, his face was a little ugly.

Secret weapons tend to be created after late enchantments, and most of these weapons are blue, but don't underestimate them, a secret set can sometimes be more powerful than higher-quality weapons.

Secret weapons are often best paired with a secret set.

Single-piece bulk secrets are actually unpopular. Because this kind of secret weapon often comes with a lot of restrictions, such as this bone greatsword, although it comes with a lot of undead effect curses when attacking, but also because it is a secret weapon, it restricts the user to be an undead creature.

If this sword is obtained by a Church Knight who believes in the good camp, not only will he not be able to use the sword, but he will even destroy the sword due to the conflict of attributes.

"Hell!"

Rod swung the giant sword a few times, and in just a few strokes, he felt that his arms were a little numb, and there was a faint cold feeling from the sword body.

This is the backlash of a secret weapon.

Since Rhodes has not officially advanced to the advanced professions of other swordsmen, he can't even use the low-level skill [Shadow Hand] of the Sword God [Shadow Hand], so using the giant sword will also have a certain speed penalty on him.

Coupled with the secret counterattack of this giant sword, Rod estimated that he could only use this giant sword for more than ten minutes, otherwise his physical injuries would be aggravated.

"I can only make do with it!"

Smiling bitterly, Rod used the giant sword as a crutch and walked towards the depths of the cave, there was no way, although he was not suitable for using the giant sword in the early stage, but it was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, so she could only make do with it.

Move your body carefully.

After passing through the passage section, the cave behind it looked very empty, the open space in front of Rhodes should be very wide, there was no rune light around, it seemed that the Lich King of the year also stopped here, he should not be interested in going deeper, the pitch-black mist was like a barrier blocking Rhodes' gaze.

"That's where the movement comes from."

Listening carefully, Rhodes found that the movement he heard earlier was probably coming from around here, and looking at his surroundings, he felt that something was wrong.

[Black and White Secret Realm] Rhodes has been in and out many times back then, every time he enters the Black and White Secret Realm, he has to pass through the source of the black fog, if it is said that this place is close to the source of the black fog, then the surrounding black fog is by no means to this extent, you must know that when you enter the source of the black fog, you must bring the [Bright Stone] from the heavenly realm to see the surrounding distance of more than ten meters.

"The black fog has faded a little."

Just as Rhodes was thinking, a scene appeared in front of him that surprised him, in the empty cave in front of him, the rolling black fog kept pouring into a certain place in the black fog as if attracted by something.

Like a whirlpool in the water, the huge black fog is fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Unlike the devouring black fog of [Annihilation Nebel], the black fog in this cavern is much higher in concentration and quantity than outside, just like the water in the ocean, if you take some of it and leave, there will be water from other places to fill it.

"That's ...... Altar? ”

After the black fog faded, Rhodes showed a mysterious corner of the black fog cave in front of his eyes.

Not far in front of him, a quaint and strange altar was swallowing black mist there, the altar looked like an extraordinary material, and in this black fog with mysterious power, there were still some ghostly lights flowing on the altar.

Around the altar, there are many corpses underground.

"It's the corpse of the Black Mist Race!"

The sharp-eyed Rhodes could see very clearly that the corpses that had fallen all over the altar were very huge and strange, and many of them were monsters in the depths of the source of the black fog that Rhodes was familiar with.

At this time, Rhodes was very hesitant.

The black fog cave in front of him became very strange at this moment, like a bottomless abyss, and there seemed to be some great horror in the depths of the invisible black fog, like an ancient giant beast opening its mouth and quietly waiting for Rod to come to the door.

At present, it seems that the black fog cave in front of him is a little different from the [Black and White Secret Realm] in his memory, such as the weird open space in front of him, there is definitely something in the depths of the black fog that is swallowing black mist, and the corner it exudes, just this weird altar makes Rod a little jealous.

Not fear, but fear.

Rhodes felt that the sword soul of the [Sword of Oath: Revodin] bound to his soul was a little impatient, as if something in the deeper part of the black mist had aroused Revodin's battle intent.

"Huh? There's something on the altar? ”

Soon Rod's attention was taken away from the depths of the black mist, and he forcibly cast his gaze on the altar not far away, there seemed to be something on the hazy and strange altar, emitting a rich light.

The light was like the divine light of the heavenly realm, and it actually dispelled the surrounding black fog for a short time, and even if it was a distance away, Rhodes could feel the divine light power in the light emanating from the altar.

Would you like to go over and have a look?

There was a hint of embarrassment on Rod's face, and finally he gritted his teeth and picked up the giant sword in his hand, anyway, there was no way back, and he had a chance to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!
