"Boom !!"

The lava that kept rolling suddenly erupted, a bright red, hot torrent erupted, and then quickly fell. Rod's figure flashed through it, and then silently hid in the shadows of one of the towers. He narrowed his eyes, looked around quickly, then looked to the other side, and then Rhodes reached out, and a black card flashed in his hand, and the next moment it turned into a pitch-black sword. Then Rhodes leaned down, held his breath, and listened quietly to the movement around him.

From the exploration just now, it can be known that these five steel towers are basically five military towers, as long as these five steel towers can be paralyzed, then others can pass through here without danger and enter the gate of the illusion world. And Rhodes gave the others the task of taking charge of a steel tower and completely paralyzing their functions. If it weren't for the weird black shadow monster below, then Rod naturally wouldn't mind pushing it directly. But now......... In order to avoid startling the snake, the only way to do this is to use other methods.

According to what Rhodes observed just now, the guards here are divided into groups of five, and four heavily armed humans bring a guard armor, which is already very strict. Fortunately for Rod, though, it's not entirely out of the question.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of heavy steel clashing sounded, and Rod narrowed his eyes and clenched the scene in his hand. His whole body was hidden in the shadows, waiting quietly. Soon, a pair of patrolmen walked past him, and the soldiers looked around, but they were completely unaware of the enemy lurking in the shadows not far from them. After looking left and right for a moment, the four of them turned around and walked towards another road.

And at this very time. Rod finally got his hands dirty.

At the moment when the bulky guard armor turned around, Rod immediately pasted it silently, and then the long sword in his hand turned into a black light and stabbed forward, only to see the black light flashed in front of him, and the heavy armor was easily cut like tofu, and then the long sword in Rode's hand trembled suddenly. Immediately after that, a black flame suddenly erupted from the inside out. And at the same time as the flames erupted, Rhodes turned around, drew his sword back with his backhand, and stabbed forward again.

At this moment, the soldier walking behind seemed to hear something unusual, and he subconsciously wanted to turn his head. But his head was only halfway turned, and the sharp blade pierced his neck, followed by a burst of black flames that instantly engulfed the hapless soldier. And Rod didn't stop, and the long sword in his hand shook. With a straight line slashing straight forward, the sequence of movements was so fast, from the time Rhodes launched the attack to the time when his long sword slashed into the chest of the third man, it took no more than four or five seconds at most.

However, at this time, the two men who walked in front seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, and the second soldier raised the gun in his hand and turned his head to look back. But the moment he turned his head, he saw a black light flash in front of him, and then he only felt a chill on his neck, and then he didn't breathe anymore.

“…………！！”

But right now. The soldier who had gone to the front had already turned around. When he saw Rod's figure, his eyes widened. Open your mouth to call for something. But just as he opened his mouth, Rhodes flung his right hand forward, only to hear a soft "click", and the sharp long sword in his hand suddenly grew, turning into a long whip wrapped around the opponent's neck, suppressing the shouting that was almost coming out again. Then I saw the black sword in front of me spin violently, and then the head of the unlucky soldier soared into the sky and fell to the ground.

"Hoo ..............."

It was only then that Rod breathed a sigh of relief, and he glanced around vigilantly. Then the nightmare who raised his right hand waved it hard, only to see that the black flame suddenly burst out from the sword body with Rod's movements, completely wrapping the wreckage on the ground, just a dozen seconds, the corpses and blood stains that were originally scattered on the ground were completely swallowed by the black flames, and there was not even a slag left. At this moment, Rhodes had already hidden his figure and continued to touch forward.

After doing the same and taking out three patrols in a row, Rhodes finally wiped out all the patrols on the periphery of the first tower. But he didn't let his guard down because of this, and he didn't know how these guys were connected and how they changed the guard. In case he destroys the troops who have changed the guard, then the other party may become suspicious if he waits for a long time. Therefore, the most important thing is to hurry up and do it, so after eliminating the three patrol troops, and making sure that no one has noticed their existence, Rod dodges to the gate of the first tower, and secretly looks inside.

To Rhodes' relief, the gate of the tower in front of him was not locked. It's just that the situation inside is not much better, there are heavily armed soldiers and monitors everywhere, although I don't know how they did it, but now it seems that if Rod breaks through the main entrance, then I'm afraid the alarm will be activated immediately, and at that time, even if he has great ability, it will be useless.

Thinking of this, Rhodes withdrew his gaze, and then his figure flickered, and he disappeared into the shadows of the dark tower like a ghost.

While Rhodes and the others were moving, the canaries stood quietly beside them, carefully feeling the strange monsters lurking in the lava. It's no wonder that Rhodes is so nervous, this monster is nearly a hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide, even in the Dragon Soul Continent, it is rare to see anything like it. And now everyone is on top of the lava, and if you are not careful, you may be unlucky. That's why Rhodes is so cautious. It's just that the two of them are serious at the moment, because they just found that the monster that was motionless like a stone before seems to be twitching like waking up at this moment, although the frequency is very small, but for the canary, the lava is almost equal to the extension of their body, and because of this, the monster seems to them to be like a fish in their hands, and they can naturally detect its abnormal movements.

"Shall we tell Rod?"

The canary frowned and glanced at the projection standing not far from her. In fact, she is still very envious of her projection character, although it is only Rhodes's impression of her, but for the current canary. If I could do exactly the same as my own projection, I am afraid that there would not be so much burden.

“……………”

Canary Two was silent for a moment in response to Canary's inquiry, and then she nodded slightly.

"I'll tell Rhodes that you go tell Bubbles about this and get them up to speed. I've always suspected that the situation here is not simple. ”

"It's good. I got it. ”

Hearing Two's answer, the canary nodded slightly, then turned and quickly left. Number Two glanced at the back of the deity, then she sighed softly and turned her gaze to the lava in front of her again, and then, her eyes flashed a little red.

"There's movement?"

Hearing Canary Two's report, Rod's heart sank, and he felt that something was not quite right. As he killed the soldiers, he could feel a chaotic aura detached from the soldiers' bodies, trying to condense somewhere, and just in case, Rhodes activated the black fire in the nightmare to devour it completely. But now it seems that this is obviously not a good idea, and perhaps all the chaos forces here come from the strange giant monster beneath the lava, and the anomaly reported by the canary earlier. Maybe it's an instinctive reaction when it feels its strength losing so fast. Maybe these forces are just a drop in the bucket for that monster, but if you continue to kill according to the actions of yourself and others. Maybe you'll get the other person's attention!

But now there is no way to convey it to others, after all, Irene and Lydia are not Rod's cards, and he has no telepathy at all, so he can only take one step at a time, kill the guards here as quickly as possible, and then talk about the rest.

Rod was thinking inside. But the speed of his men did not slow down in the slightest. Although the entire steel tower looks tightly structured and heavily guarded. But they were obviously not prepared for an attack from the air, and for Rhodes, such a tower more than ten meters high was no pressure at all. Soon, only a phantom was seen flickering, and then Rod's figure appeared at the top of the tower. And at this moment, the two soldiers patrolling the tower with guns were facing away from him. Unaware of Rod's presence, Rhodes concocted the law again, unceremoniously killed the two, and then burned their whereabouts clean, and then he opened the door and quietly infiltrated the interior of the tower down the stairs.

The interior of the steel tower was dim, and it was unknown if it was due to the lack of electricity, but only at intervals a lamp emitted a vague light. But this was a good thing for Rod, who hid in the shadows and killed all the way forward. It didn't look like anyone was discovering it at all, and in the process, Rhodes also noticed that the layout here was basically the same as the earth building in his impression, but there were some places that felt a little strange——— that was like the feeling that Rhodes and Lydia had brought from entering the chaotic lunar base before.

It seems that the true face of the thing below can almost be figured out.

After determining the true face of the other party, Rhodes sped up even more. If it was really the same monster that had eroded the lunar base they had encountered before, then they would have to do their best to destroy each other. In doing so, this place may be completely destroyed. At that time, don't say anything to open the gate, I'm afraid everyone will be buried here for burial.

"Da Da Da!!"

Just as Rhodes finished sweeping the guards in front of him again and was about to move on, suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded. Hearing this series of footsteps, Rhodes hurriedly turned around and flashed to the side, and then saw his body merge with the shadow on the wall next to him, and disappeared in an instant. Almost at the same time, a group of heavily armed soldiers approached, led by a young man in a black uniform. He glanced around with a cold face and snorted coldly.

"What the hell is going on? What about the guards here? Why is nothing missing? ”

"I think they're probably on patrol, after all, it's shift time...............

"What a headache idiot, still running around at this time!"

Hearing her subordinate's answer, the man snorted coldly, and then she turned around and looked at the subordinate behind her. With a straight face, he said, "Get ready." We need to start re-fusion immediately, take all the previous test samples to the No. 1 test site, and dose them out......... By the way, what about the previous experiment No. 3? ”

Hearing the man's inquiry, a man behind him in a white lab coat who looked like a researcher immediately opened his mouth to answer.

"Report to your Excellency. The situation of Subject 3 is the same as before, with no changes. We've increased the dose, but nothing has happened to her body, and to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the device showed that her physical characteristics were all right, we would have thought she was dead. ”

"Check it again at once, we must completely transform the Sage into a Citizen of Chaos before she awakens! Remember, if we can't. The wrath of the Sage will turn us all to ashes! Hurry up and do it! Now, immediately, don't waste time, do you understand? You idiots?! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!!"

Hearing the man's words, the crowd nodded their heads, and then they turned to leave. But at the same time, suddenly. Black flame barriers suddenly erupted from the shadows surrounding them, encircling them like a cage. There are several people who don't realize the problem for a while. In this way, he was engulfed by black fire in an instant, and he couldn't even scream and disappeared completely. And this sudden flame also made the others startled a moment, they clenched their weapons and instinctively retreated, but at the same time, under their feet, dozens of tentacles drilled out without warning. The survivor was completely tied up in it, and then he only saw a flash of black light in front of him, and the whistling sword qi even the original shaking light was completely obscured at this moment. For a moment, there was nothing but darkness here.

Until a moment later. The darkness cleared.

Rod's figure reappeared, and at this moment there were corpses everywhere under his feet, and the black flames were slowly spreading, completely devouring these corpses, tearing them apart, and turning them into pieces. Only the young man from before escaped, but at this moment he was also leaning against the wall with a pale face, and Rod's sharp blade was so tightly pressed against his neck that he would be separated at the slightest movement.

"You, who are you?"

With wide eyes, the man stared at Rhodes in front of him in surprise, he couldn't imagine that in this heavily guarded tower, there could still be people mixed in. Not only that, but he was able to wipe out these garrisons around him so easily, is this really something that humans can do? Are you kidding? Isn't this continent all a bunch of uncivilized primitive people? How could there be such a powerful existence? Who is he?

"I think I heard something very interesting."

But in the face of the man's inquiry, Rod did not answer, instead, he squinted his eyes and stared at the man in front of him carefully, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and a strange smile appeared.

"Would you mind giving me a brief overview of what was going on here?"

Under the threat of death, the young man quickly succumbed and confessed their situation to Rod——— and sure enough, as Rhodes imagined, these people were the descendants of chaos from Earth, but they did not seem to have a full understanding of their identity and the power within their bodies. They come from an organization called the "Heavenly Council", which is full of "anomalous people" like him who have been infected with the power of chaos. They consider themselves to be the chosen people of this world by the gods to contribute to the progress of humanity. To this end, they are digging and awakening the forces of chaos in various parts of the world, and the Akasha Slate at the base of the moon is also their goal. Because according to the records of the "Heavenly Council", it is these stone tablets that give them miraculous powers. In fact, many of the high-ranking members of the Celestial Council were the same people who had excavated the "Akaxia Slate" in the first place, claiming that they had obtained the revelation of the Slate during the excavation process, and not only that, but they had even gained a special amount of power. Because of this, they had been hoping to be able to take the Akasha Slate and bring it to its rightful place.

However, after the failure to snatch the Akaxia Slate, the Celestial Council shifted direction, and they began to open the way to the "Beautiful New Epoch", and summoned their subordinates to this new continent through the dimensional passage to expand the new continent. One of them is the Young Man, a small leader of the Celestial Council, who is responsible for capturing the continent's natives and infusing them with what they call "Holy Power" (i.e., the power of Chaos) into their subordinates and machines. And this is one of the bases of the Heavenly Council. It's just that this base has just been built not long ago, and it is still expanding.

And from the young man, Rhodes also learned that every once in a while, they would send out a few Chosen Ones to the inner side of the passage of the Seven Illusion Realm, these people did not know what was on the other side of the passage of the Dao, but according to them, those people were only qualified to enter it after receiving the will of the Sage.

I see.

Hearing the other party's introduction, Rhodes finally figured out the origin of these people, it seems that although Maribel had taken care of most of the chaotic things, the Akasha Slate still had a considerable impact on the earth......... I'm afraid these guys don't know why they were affected by the Akaxia Slate to become the ghost they are now.

"Good."

After listening to the man's introduction, Rod smiled and nodded, and then he turned his sword.

"Well, I have one more request next."

As he spoke, Rhodes looked at the pale man in front of him.

"Can you tell me what your so-called test is?" (To be continued......)
