"What the hell is this place!!"

Looking at the lush woods in front of her, Xiao Wu Lori stomped her feet dissatisfied. And Rod and Catherine, who were standing next to them, were also at a loss. No wonder they reacted like this, just as Catherine became one, the magic circle that enveloped the entire roof of the building began to rotate, and then before Rhodes and them could react, they were teleported to such a ghost place again, although they didn't know where it was. But from the brilliance of the spirit crystals shining all around, it was obvious that they had been teleported to another area.

"It looks like it's supposed to be a park........."

Looking at the fountain and benches not far away, Rhodes quickly answered. At the same time, he could also be sure that this area was definitely not where he and the others were before. After all, along the way, Rhodes has been quite careful about the environment around them, and has not seen any parks or other places. So it can be seen that the area where they are now is probably a completely unfamiliar area. And from here, Rhodes finally figured out the real rules of Karen's competition -- the twelve spirit crystals are not just placed there for people to take away, thinking about it, these twelve crystals correspond to the twelve personalities. When the crystal is activated, the corresponding personality is teleported to the opponent to fight, and the winner is determined by the winner of the crystal. If this is repeated three times, then after the three personalities have been decided in such a battle, they will reunite with the main personality. However, in order to avoid the situation where everyone is concentrating on the strategy, Karen also specially designed this random teleportation rule, so that one person cannot connect and get all the personality crystals at once. After teleporting to an unfamiliar area, they must help others and rely on the help of others to reach their destination. In this way, no matter how unsociable people are. There will also be a certain amount of connection and friendship.

However, Rhodes also discovered that things are not so simple.

The disappearance of a spiritual crystal represents the disappearance of a personality. And teammates who were supposed to be on a team will also be missing one. Karen will definitely not ignore this problem, such a random teleportation may also have the meaning of disrupting the redeployment combination of those teams that have lost their teammates. And there are no fewer people on my side, I am afraid that it is because I am the victor -- after all, I have absorbed the personality of others. And not the other way around. In this way, the further back you go, the stronger the obstacles that Rhodes and Little Five Lori and Catherine may encounter. There is a good chance that the others will unite against themselves, and when the time comes, the good dogs will not be able to hold off the wolves. Now Rhodes has only figured out the rules of the entire game, and has not yet figured out how the spirit crystal itself works. Is the personality they represent fixed? Or is it random? Since they can handle other people's personality crystals, can others also handle theirs in this way? For example, it is not completely impossible for Lori and Catherine to be teleported to somewhere, is it?

"All in all, let's move on and see what happens."

Guessing is always guessing. In order to avoid speculation becoming reality, the best thing to do is to strike first and then suffer. Although Rhodes didn't know what this place was, there was always only one destination for the three of them. Those are the towers with spirit crystals. As for the other parts, they are completely out of the consideration of Rhodes and others. So he just waved his hand, motioned for the two to follow, and then walked out of the park along the side path. Walk towards the nearest tall building to them. However, it has only just left the park. Rhodes noticed that something wasn't quite right.

"It's ............ What are you doing? ”

Xiao Wu Lori held the lollipop in her left hand and licked it around, but her right hand was holding the long sword, looking at the scene in front of her with surprise and surprise. Not only her, but Catherine also stared at Yiqi in front of her with wide eyes and uneasiness. I saw that after walking out of the park, he appeared in front of the three of them. It's a wide avenue, but that's not the point, it's the thing on the avenue -- it's pitch black, and it's a mass of things that look like stains. At first glance, they looked like grease stains scattered all over the place, but Rhodes could tell it at a glance. These are the same shadow monsters that I fought before, but ...............

"These things............ I guess I'm dead. ”

Rhodes stepped forward and carefully touched the corpses of the shadow monsters on the ground, which looked like balls of air at the moment, and they were smooth and cold to the touch. But it's not this little thing that Rhodes cares about, but ............ Did the shadow monsters they defeated before leave their own corpses? The answer is no, in the first tower before, Rhodes and the others can be regarded as defeating these shadow monsters several times. They also have times when it looks like death. It's just that at that time, these monsters fell to the ground with a scream, and then their bodies gradually became thin like shadows, and then disappeared. But the scene in front of me is clearly different. The shadow monsters were clearly dead, and they did leave corpses, and not only that, but when Rhodes touched them, he could even feel the deathly and icy chill emanating from them. It's not just as simple as defeating each other, it's clear that these shadow monsters have been "completely" killed. So much so that when Rhodes and the others came here, they didn't encounter any interception.

“…………………”

This is not the case.

Rod frowned, stood up, and swept around vigilantly. On the wide road in front of me, only the dim light of the street lamps flickered from time to time, reflecting the qiē in front of me. But it made Rod shiver involuntarily, he felt as if he was standing in a cemetery, surrounded by the cold death air that almost penetrated his skin and bone marrow. This strange feeling of death was something Rhodes had never felt before, as if every qiē in front of his eyes had been "killed".

"Let's go in a different direction and don't go this way."

After thinking about it again, Rhodes still chose to give up, after all, the situation in front of him was too weird. And the road led to the tower closest to them. These traces of battle show that long before Rhodes and the others came over, there were already people who had passed here, and the strength of the other party was definitely not weak. In this way, Rod had to become a chaser, and he had always been insensitive to the fact that he would fight a tough battle to step into an ambush that others might have, so after thinking about it for a while, Rod decisively chose to give up and re-chose another relatively distant direction. And for the choice of Rhodes. Xiao Wu Lori and Catherine did not object, and now Rhodes has completely become the leader of the three, and these two people are also people who have no opinions, so as long as the order given by Rhodes is not particularly outrageous, they will not react, and they will listen to Rhodes.

However, Rhodes didn't notice that he was at the top of a tall tower not far away at the same time as he turned to leave. A figure wrapped in a black cloak was quietly watching them. Seeing Rod leave decisively, the figure snorted dissatisfiedly, and then she turned her head, and a pair of eyes that shone with soul fire radiated a bright light in the darkness.

"Your plan failed, and they weren't fooled."

In the face of this black-robed speech, in the darkness, a crisp laughter like a silver bell sounded, and then a looming figure like a firefly emerged from it.

"I knew it wasn't that simple. After all, they're the winners of the round. ”

With this sound like the cold wind in the tomb. The vague figure became clearer and clearer, and soon, in front of the black robe, a girl with a soul radiance all over her body appeared. If Rod saw the girl in front of him, he would be a little surprised. Because what appeared in front of Rhodes at this moment was Xiao Wu Lori. But it's different from the snack guy who looked like he was only a teenager after following Rod. The age of the girl in front of me was about seventeen or eighteen years old. The ghostly face was full of confidence and a sly smile, which was completely different from the little five Lori in Rod's impression.

"The team that was able to get a spirit crystal in such a short period of time must be a little more powerful than we thought. The human, in particular, could have seen it without him. The other two wouldn't have noticed anything unusual here, but ............... Ah, Echone........."

Saying this, the ghost girl in front of her sighed helplessly, and then she turned her head and looked at the black robe in front of her with half a complaining dissatisfaction.

"If it weren't for your ability, I'm afraid they wouldn't have noticed the anomaly so early. That's why I said before, if you can, please don't say it rashly for the time being........."

"Hmph, don't worry about it, I just like to do it, if you're not happy, then get ahead of me and kill all those bastards!!"

Hearing the ghost girl's complaint, the black-robed god of death paused slightly, and finally she snorted coldly, and then spoke with a little unhappiness. In the face of the black-robed Grim Reaper's answer, the ghost girl spread her hands helplessly and smiled helplessly. But before she could say anything more, another voice emerged from the darkness.

"Well, there's no point in you talking more here, since the other party has sensed the problem, then it's useless for us to continue to wait here. According to the predetermined plan, we will continue our mission, and as long as we can obtain enough spirit crystals, then we will be able to achieve the final victory. Leave them alone for now..............."

"Captain."

And just as the man who was hiding in the darkness had finished speaking, suddenly another cheerful voice emerged from it, interrupting the other man's speech, and then spoke in a tone of complete excitement that was watching the excitement.

"Donna saw another team heading towards the group, shall we go over and see the excitement?"

"Another team?"

Hearing this, not only did the person hiding in the darkness pause, but even the ghost girl and the black-robed god of death flashed a few bright lights in their eyes, looking eager to try. But eventually, the voice in the darkness coughed and spoke.

"Leave them alone, we'll take care of our own business......... Time is running out. ”

As if it was reflecting the other party's words, at the same time, with a thunderous roar, another tall tower collapsed not far away. Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was silent for a moment, and then the figure on the rooftop quickly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.

"Boom Rumble ........."

Rhodes looked up at the low thunderous roar in the distance, and he couldn't see what was going on there because of the tall buildings. But judging from the tremors on the ground, another tower must have collapsed -- but why? It stands to reason that even if the two sides fight will cause damage to the tower. However, it should only be limited to placing spirit crystals and their surroundings. Is there anything else you don't notice?

"Whew!!"

Just as Rhodes was pondering whether there was something hidden in this, a howling wind suddenly rushed in front of him. If Rod didn't react in the slightest, then this punch alone would be enough to blow him to the brain. But Rhodes wasn't a vegetarian either. At the same time as the punch was blasted towards him, he suddenly stopped his original forward galloping form, and then the whole person flashed to the side, and almost at the same time, the long sword in Rod's hand suddenly jumped out of his waist, and slashed at his side with a bright and dazzling arc of light. And with this split of Rhodes. The fist that was originally blasted towards Rod suddenly retracted, crossing in front of Rode's long sword. Soon, only the sound of a "bell" was heard, and the attacker in the darkness was split away by Rod.

But the threat didn't end there, and at the same time that Rhodes was attacked, Little Five Lori and Catherine were also attacked. Ghostly swords and swirling scythes flew at the two of them from behind. Although this sneak attack came quickly, Xiao Wu Lori was not stupid, and almost at the moment when she noticed that Rhodes was attacked. She drew her sword sharply, and spun around to protect herself. As for Catherine, it is even more needless to say. Even if she does nothing, it will not be easy to break through her "impregnable" defenses.

"Bell, bell!!"

With the sound of weapons colliding, I saw three figures disappear in a flash around Rhodes and the others. Perhaps sensing the failure of the sneak attack, they did not fall in love, but quickly retreated, and their speed was so fast. Even Rhodes only barely saw a shadow flash in front of him, and just when he wanted to take a closer look at the other party, the other party had already turned around and fled, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ahh What do they want to do!! ”

Originally, Xiao Wu Lori also planned to go up and fight with the other party. As a result, I didn't expect these sneak attackers to run faster than rabbits, and before Xiao Wu Lori could react, the other party couldn't even see the shadow. The angry little guy jumped straight to his feet, and Catherine, who was next to her, was holding the snack with a blank face, as if she had no idea what had just happened.

"It's despicable! Shameless! Dirty!! What kind of ability is it to sneak attack others, and have the ability to come out and fight us face to face! Coward! ”

Although Xiao Wu Lori shouted very imposingly, no one responded to her. The only thing the three of them could see was the silent and cold alleys and the dark city without any people. The howling wind blew through it, bringing up a few leaves, and there was no sound except for the roar of the little one, which was constantly echoing in it.

"What a shame, you actually attacked us!! Mr. Rhodes, let's go find those guys and beat them up!! ”

"Do you know where they went?"

"This ..............."

Hearing Rod's rhetorical question, Xiao Wu Lori, who was still imposing just now, suddenly had nothing to say. In fact, even she didn't know where the other party had gone. Because the speed of the other party's sneak attack just now was so fast that except for Rhodes, the others didn't even notice it. Xiao Wu Lori just instinctively relied on her own combat experience to detect something wrong to block the opponent's attack, if she really wanted to tell her in detail, Xiao Wu Lori couldn't say it. But even so, she did not give up her opinion.

"Are you going to let these bastards keep following us? These guys didn't succeed in the sneak attack just now, and they will definitely come to us for trouble!! ”

Hearing the little guy's rhetorical question, Rod couldn't help frowning. I have to admit that Xiao Wu Lori's statement is not unreasonable. The other party obviously intends to play guerrilla warfare with himself, and if he really wants to talk about guerrilla warfare, this is still what Rhodes himself is left over, and he naturally knows more about it than anyone else. I have to admit that in the current environment, it is indeed very suitable for playing this kind of guerrilla. It's just that Rhodes can't understand the reason why the other party will attack him, if the number of spirit crystals is scarce, then there is something to say. But now...............

The corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. Indeed, although it seems objectively that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, and the other party is obviously coming at himself and others, it will definitely be more troublesome on his side if he goes on like this. But the problem is that Rod is quite familiar with this method, and he knows not only how to attack, but also how to defend. Since the other party wants to put pressure on himself in this way, then Rod is not completely without ideas...............

Thinking of this, Rod raised his brow slightly, then he narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"No, let's keep moving towards our goal, leave these guys alone."

"Hey---?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu Lori and Catherine were shocked. (To be continued......)
