Rumble! Rumble!

Rhodes slid down quickly, and the huge flower demon vines continued to bombard the passage, making a deafening sound. The entire passage was in the shape of a slope, and Rod's arc light flashed at an extremely fast speed, and it was only then that Rod realized that the flower demon was more huge than he had imagined.

It's dark.

In the process of rapid decline, Rhodes swept through a passage and witnessed the huge figure of the flower demon at a very close distance. It was an abyssal flower demon as tall as a small hill, it seemed to be stuck in the passage, only two vines could move freely, and when Rod swept over it in a thrilling way, he could clearly see that there were some traces of the flower demon's flower disc that had obviously been altered by artificial spells.

It's a magically modified creature!

I didn't have time to think about who was so generous, and he actually made a big guy who was infinitely close to the legend. Rhodes plunged headlong into the black fog beneath the cave like a broken car that couldn't be stopped.

In the black mist, visibility is extremely low. Rhodes didn't have the dark vision of those drow elves, and if he slid down at a high speed in an arc of light, he would largely fall to the bottom of the cavern and be smashed into flesh.

Sonor!

Unable to slow down automatically, Rhodes slammed the short sword in his hand into the side of the passage, and the high-speed friction of the metal sword body continued to rub out fireworks, and it seemed that the short sword would be scrapped if it slid for a distance.

This is the embarrassment of forcibly using some high-level sword skills.

Like an arc flash, it was supposed to be a high-level sword technique used by the swordsman with the help of the "qi" of the sword master after he advanced, and its own role was to turn into an arc in a duel, pursuing a one-hit killing skill. However, Rhodes used it with the help of the terrain and his own skills, although it was not as fast as lightning like the real arc flash, but it also greatly increased the speed, and the flaw of such a forcible use was that he could not effectively control the stop of the skill.

"Sure enough, you need to get a handy weapon!"

Feeling the rapid depletion of the durability of the short sword in his hand, Rod couldn't help but think in his heart that his former advanced profession was the Sword God, just like he had a legendary skill [Shadow Hand], this class was the only weapon master in all the swordsman classes who could use multiple weapons.

For example, at this time, there were four sword masters on the continent with extraordinary swordsmanship. But they are all specialized in a certain swordsmanship, like the master of the "Hurricane Style", he is called "Barn's Hurricane", and he is good at short sword mastery, in addition to the "Blunt Weapon Master", "Taidao Master", "Long Sword Sword Sect", ......

But like Rhodes's Sword God class, this kind of class pursues the ultimate skill of swordsmanship, and they have a deep study of all kinds of sword weapons, because, after advancing to the Sword God, they will gain a legendary specialty of [Shadow Hand], this skill allows them to freely switch any sword weapon.

As a matter of fact.

Rhodes' favorite is not a short sword, but a long sword.

The long sword can be said to have its own advantages compared to the short sword, but if there are two long and short swords with little difference in attributes, Rhodes must choose the long sword. It's not that the short sword is weaker, but the short sword is more suitable for professions with a higher use of "qi", but Rhodes has always liked to pursue the pleasure of swordsmanship and killing, and the long sword has high physical damage to some extent, and fierceness and domineering are its biggest characteristics, but the long sword is generally biased towards a power-shaped swordsman, because this long and wide sword will affect the speed of the sword.

The reason why I like long swords is because there will be a variety of skills in the later stage of the sword god profession that greatly improve the speed of the sword, which greatly makes up for the shortcomings of the long sword.

Bang!

With a dull thud sounded.

Rod landed firmly at the bottom of the cave, fortunately with the slow speed of the short sword, otherwise that moment just now would have been enough to seriously injure Rode, who had lost the blessing of thunder.

"Huh?"

A relatively empty underground cave appeared in front of Rod's eyes, different from the appearance of the black fog in the passage, the black fog below is actually a little thin, but the most intimate thing is that there is still some glimmer on the wall of the cave, which is also the reason why Rod is puzzled.

"It's rune light."

He touched the light source on the wall with his scrapped dagger, it was some strange magical runes that glowed a faint green light in the dark cavern, faint but sufficient.

After some difficult movements, Rod found that he had broken two ribs, and the impact of the landing had caused him to be very sore all over his body.

Cautiously watching the surrounding environment, especially the movement in the black fog in the distance made Rod very nervous, and now he was in a very bad state as long as he encountered any black fog monster, I was afraid that he would have to rest.

Worse.

There are obvious traces of human excavation in this black fog cave, whether it is the huge flower demon arranged outside, or the artificial traces on the passages and walls, all indicate that there was once an extremely powerful mage in this place who once arranged the means.

O Master!

Especially the flower demon outside, it seems that he can transform the existence of such an abyss creature, at least he is a mage who has stepped into the legendary realm, and he randomly breaks into the building arranged by a legendary mage, which is 100% death-seeking.

"What's going on?"

Rhodes frowned and looked at the movement in the black fog in the distance, just now, he clearly saw that the black fog in front of him was actually decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the black cave, he seemed to hear something.

He listened intently, trying to discern what was going on in the black mist, but apparently the former visitors here had done some processing, and the sounds in the cavern were infinitely disturbed.

"Trouble!"

The Black Mist Cave was tricky in the first place, and Rhodes underestimated the threat of this place from the beginning. Unexpectedly, there were some traces of mages mixed in this, which greatly increased the difficulty and variables of exploring the black and white secret realm, and now that he has lost his weapon again, plus at least a "medium injury" hanging on his body, this difficulty has simply increased to the hell level.

There's no going back!

Gritting his teeth, Rhodes cautiously walked towards the depths of the cave, the swordsman is very sensitive to danger, and with the experience of going to [Silent City], he still has some experience in some mage traps, although he is not as proficient in traps as assassins and thieves, but at least a little stronger than some second-rate thieves.

To know.

Silent City is no easy place. It was a place where the magic maniacs of the entire Ash Continent gathered, and in the face of those magic maniacs, to put it mildly, it was simply a gathering place for terrorists.

Even the Church of the Gods doesn't want to pay attention to this group of madmen.

Rhodes was very aware of the attitude of the Church of the Gods towards the ruins and inheritance of the Arcanists of the Nether era, and once he found out that a mage was studying the forbidden experiments of the Arcanists of the Nether era without authorization, he would be immediately executed for heresy unconditionally.

But the group of madmen in [Silent City], although they did not blatantly study the arcane taboo of the Nether era, but this is also a well-known thing, but the church is stunned that there is nothing they can do with this group of madmen.

It is rumored that the great arcanists of the Nether era once fought against the gods, and their forbidden arcane was feared even by the gods, and in a very ancient era, fierce wars broke out between the two, although in the end the arcanists were defeated and the Nether arcane empire was completely destroyed, but there is no doubt that the Silent City, which inherited most of the arcane research in the Nether era, is the pinnacle of arcane research in the entire Ash continent.

All the way.

"It's a magical chain trap from the Nether era...... This is the three-ring Ma Youfu strong acid arrow...... This is the Otiluk Ice Ball ......"

Rhodes couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and along the way he saw no less than ten ancient magic traps from the Nether era, which were extremely cumbersome to arrange, and most of the arcane traps had been lost as the gods destroyed the Nether Empire.

Perhaps only a chaotic place of exile like [Shadow Domain] can have these ancient traces.

But to Rhodes' surprise, although these magic traps were set up for some years, they were by no means left over from the old Nether era. This is a magical trap left behind by a later visitor, who is likely to have studied the arcane of the Nether era.

Thankfully, Rhodes had seen these traps in Silent City.

In fact, in the later "Eve of the Holy War", the advent of the demon world triggered a series of chain reactions, and many ancient places that were sealed in the Ash continent have emerged, such as Silent City, a famous city that studies ancient forbidden magic, many people come to visit every year.

For example, Rhodes visited the Silent City to explore a requiem in the East. There are many wonderful places in Silent City, and these places are very realistic to restore some ancient ruins, such as the [Upside-Down Lookout] is dug up by the group of magicians in Silent City from an ancient ruin, which completely simulates the upside-down realm in the Eastern Town Requiem.

It is precisely because he has explored the ancient ruins so many times that Rhodes may not be familiar with modern magic traps, but he has some experience in dealing with the cumbersome traps of the Nether era.

Airplanes!

Rhodes tread cautiously in certain parts of the cavern, these traps made with ancient techniques were very regular, and the arcane of Nether's time was indeed powerful, but they were also flawed.

History is always progressing.

While some of the ancient lost magic is powerful, the mages are some of the most researched in all of Ash, believing in the truth that "knowledge is power."

The spells of the Nether era were violent and pure, they did not have the kind of skill that modern magic pursued, but they had a pure magical power, a power that was close to the rules, and perhaps it was this pure magical power that made the gods jealous. Due to the influence of the times, the spells of the Nether era were often almost half-crippled in a single shot, and their magic traps were extremely violent.

Powerful and regular.

This was characteristic of the time of Nether, when the Grand Arcanists explored the truth of the entire universe, using knowledge as a sled to pry the rules of the entire universe, they sought the rules, parsed the rules, and then exploited the rules, and in the end they were also destroyed by the gods who were the embodiment of the rules.

After walking some distance, Rhodes found that there should be an open field ahead, because he felt that the source of the movement came from the front, and he began to approach cautiously.

The closer you get to the back of the cavern, the more obvious the traces and style of the cavern's former visitors, bypassing the cumbersome Nether magic traps, and Rhodes finds that the layout behind it has a strong personal touch.

For example, the traps in the second half of the game have a strong undead style, and many of the traps are simply laid out from dry bones, which tells that Rhodes's former visitor may have been a lich.

Lich!

And a Legendary-level Lich!

Only an undead lich with a long life can transform an abyssal flower demon with the skill and leisure, and only a lich can study the rare and mysterious Nether magic in the Shadowlands.

"The Lich of the Age of Dry Bones!"

Throughout the Shadowlands, there are many lichs, but around Stormwind, chaotic and evil undead have always been frowned upon, and Stormwind was built on dry bones.

Thinking about it this way, as long as Rhodes is not stupid, he can basically guess who visited this place in the past.

"Has the Lich King, the ruler of the Age of Dry Bones, defeated by Stormstorm Croft, ever visited here......

While thinking, Rhodes raised his vigilance, this place seemed to be getting more and more interesting, even the Dreadknight O'Neill tried to lead people to break into this place, obviously, there were some secrets hidden in it that Rhodes didn't know.
