Chapter 647: The City of Decisive Battle (V)
The explosions were continuous, but it was clear from the sound that the other party was not going upstairs quickly. Rod estimated that this was because the other party had never thought of using the elevator. It's no wonder that if you don't know the elevator, you don't have much interest in these two big iron doors, as if it wasn't for Rhodes just now, Catherine and Xiaowu Lori wouldn't have thought of using the elevator. I'm afraid that these people in the back really plan to rely on their legs to climb this hundreds of meters of high buildings, and when he heard the explosion before, Rhodes was a little nervous, and now he has also reacted that this group of people don't understand high-tech at all, and it is impossible to use the elevator to go up and down the stairs. And they must have broken something during the fight just now, which caused the elevator to stop. In this way, even if they want to get the elevator, it is impossible to start it successfully.
"Let's go, get out of here quickly."
Thinking of this, Rod also made a quick decision, he raised his head and looked at the floor of the elevator in front of him, high-tech is good, and he has already completed two-thirds of the way in this moment. The remaining third of them ran errands and reached their destination. Therefore, Rod did not hesitate any longer, but immediately opened the elevator door in front of him, fortunately they were currently located at the elevator entrance on the upper floor, so the three of them quickly ran out of the elevator, and then rushed towards the exit of the emergency passage under the leadership of Rode. The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the quiet corridors, but at this moment, the danger that had been hidden in the darkness seemed to be awakened, and they opened their eyes to look at the prey that had rushed into their territory.
"Goo-goo-goo-goo..............."
And at the same time as the three of them rushed out of the elevator, the strange voice sounded in Rod's ears again, and soon, with the help of the light of Catherine of the "big bulb", Rod clearly saw that in the darkness, the shadow began to condense again. Gathered, turned into a cloud of strange substance. Obviously, it seems that only the elevator in this tower belongs to the "safe area", and after getting out of the elevator, Rhodes and others began to "attract monsters".
"Let's go, leave these guys alone! Don't fight them! Keep going, don't stop yourselves! ”
I saw Xiao Wu Lori wielding a long sword, planning to go up and fight with the other party. Rod also hurriedly gave the order. If it's normal, then it's never too late to beat these guys. But now the situation is different, there are other people below, and they can hear the movement of the other party's battle on their side, so once the fight starts, the other party will obviously be able to detect the problem on their side. At that time, the situation would be much more complicated, so he grabbed Xiao Wu Lori and quickly ran towards the emergency exit. Although the people below are still far away from them, isn't this how the tortoise and rabbit race? No matter how fast the rabbit runs, if it is lazy, won't it be chased by the tortoise?
Hear Rhodes. Xiao Wu Lori didn't say anything, but quickly put away the long sword in her hand, then took out a bag of potato chips and followed behind Rod while walking. Seeing this scene, Rod still felt a little emotional in his heart, don't look at the two teammates in his group, one is a foodie and a battle maniac, and the other is a non-violent non-cooperative. The advantage is that it is obedient, and it is not too much of a pig. Now Rhodes hopes that the personality projection in other groups can be a little more pig teammates, and it would be better if he could pull the hind legs of other people!
It's just that it's better to rely on yourself than to ask for others in everything, and to expect the other party to be as bad as your own luck is such a thing, Rod doesn't have much hope, and each person has a maximum of three spiritual projection personalities. According to Rod's experience, there is only one second-hand personality in it at most. And the two who are now following me are from a certain point of view......... Never mind. Let's not talk about this topic, Rod feels stuffed when he thinks about it.
"Don't move, follow me, be careful! Don't make too much noise! ”
When it comes to stealth detection, Rhodes still has more experience than the others. After all, the strict standard of the backstabbing tactic is to ensure that they are not detected before reaching their destination, and Rod is naturally very familiar with it. But obviously, the little five Lori don't have this kind of experience. So Rod simply asked them not to make a move, but rushed to the emergency staircase first, and then ran up quickly. In the face of those black shadows that hindered him, he barely did much entanglement. just waved the long sword in his hand to separate it, and then pulled Xiao Wu Lori and Catherine to flash through the gap quickly. For Rhodes. Grappling is the most important thing, especially in this situation at hand.
"Boom!!"
The dazzling and flickering sword light conjured up one after another incomparably dazzling and brilliant traces in the dark space, illuminating the eyes and tearing through the condensed deep darkness. But the dark shadows did not give up, on the contrary, they still twisted and twisted in an attempt to regain their original form. Rhodes was already accustomed to these monsters, and it was very difficult to defeat these guys completely, so he didn't pay much attention to this at all. On the contrary, after tearing apart the bodies of those monsters, he just stepped on the other party's body and ran upward. Although the combat power of these shadow monsters is not weak, in front of Rhodes, it is just better than nothing.
The speed of Rod and the others is not slow, and because of Rhodes' reminder, Xiao Wu Lori did not go on a rampage like before, and there is a little time left. It didn't take long for the three of them to reach the top floor. And the moment he walked on the rooftop, Rhodes swept his sword without blinking, and with his movements, the rooftop behind him collapsed, and while the exit was closed, it also blocked those entangled shadow monsters inside. It was only at this time that Rod began to look around, and of course, he went to find the spirit crystal that had made him and others desperately come here. However, while seeing that spiritual crystal, Rod was not calm in an instant.
Before coming to the top floor, Rod was full of the chasers below, so he didn't think carefully about the spirit crystal. And now, he finds himself ignoring a rightful problem. First of all, these high-rise buildings are all hundreds of meters high, and Rhodes is standing on the ground, and he can actually see the light emitted by the spiritual crystal at the top of this high-rise building to illuminate the night sky, there are only two possibilities. Either it's particularly large, or it's exceptionally bright.
And now, this spiritual crystal in front of Rhodes is big and bright!
Its light was not dazzling, even if Rhodes looked directly at the spirit crystal in front of him, he would not feel anything uncomfortable. But its size made Rod very depressed. The crystal itself is nearly seven or eight meters tall and looks like a cylindrical light bulb. Don't say a dozen of these things, and one Rhodes can't carry them! It's not a matter of strength, it's just a matter of volume, okay!! But don't say it, maybe this spirit crystal will get smaller on its own?
With such an idea, Rod also came to the side of the spirit crystal and knocked and knocked, touched and touched, but unfortunately, no matter what he did, there was no other change in this spiritual crystal. It looks like it's completely unresponsive. Even if Rod asked Xiaowu Lori and Catherine to go up and touch it, the result did not change anything. So this can only show one thing, that is, the way you open it is not right............
What went wrong?
Rhodes hadn't found an answer to this question yet, he had already carefully investigated all sides of the spirit crystal, there was no enchantment, and there was no magic array to trigger. Rhodes didn't see the familiar switch buttons or anything in his memory, but he could also be sure that Karen's place such a large piece of spirit crystal here was definitely not as simple as teasing herself. It was clear that there must be some secret in this crystal that had not been discovered by itself. That's why it didn't start. And now Rod's main task is to find this secret. to avoid being preempted by others.
"What the hell is going on with this thing? Do you want me to try a sword? ”
Looking at the unresponsive spirit crystal in front of her, Xiao Wu Lori was the first to be the first to be impatient, she pulled out her long sword again, revealing a look of eagerness. But Rhodes didn't stop the little guy this time. Instead, he frowned and was silent for a moment. Then he nodded to the little one. And after getting Rod's approval, Xiao Wu Lori suddenly showed an excited and smug gaze, only to see her just throw the finished snack bag to the side, and the next moment Xiao Wu Lori stretched out her hands to hold the long sword, and the whole person turned into a cyan hurricane. Quickly rushed towards the spirit crystal in front of him. The next moment, the sword in her hand, which was almost as long as the little guy's body, cut through the air like this, and slashed heavily at the spirit crystal.
"Bell ――――――!!"
And at the moment when Xiao Wu Lori's long sword slashed the spirit crystal, I saw that the spirit crystal that originally exuded a shining brilliance suddenly dimmed, and then a sound like ringing a bell sounded. And with this sound, an aura of light exploded and spread from the cylindrical body of the spirit crystal, and then the entire top floor was wrapped in a shining barrier! Soon, a dazzling circle emerged from it and began to spin slowly.
"Be careful!"
Seeing this scene, Rod was also shocked, he clenched the long sword in his right hand, and looked at the scene in front of him with a frown. And Xiao Wu Lori was naturally taken aback, although she was a reckless foodie, but she was not stupid, she felt that there must be something wrong when she saw this scene. Therefore, the little guy also hurriedly raised his long sword, leaned against Rod's side, and watched around vigilantly. But at this time, Rod and Xiao Wu Lori were surprised to find a very strict problem -- that is, with the activation of the magic array, a strange force suddenly appeared out of thin air, imprisoning the bodies of the two people!
What's going on?
Rhodes' eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the swirling magic runes that swirled around his limbs and body. This is clearly a kind of imprisoning magic, is it a trap? Or is it a countermeasure? Is it used against those who try to destroy the spirit crystal? Logically speaking, this is not impossible. But...............
"Mr. Rhodes? What's wrong with you guys? ”
But not everyone is imprisoned, and at this moment, Catherine is still standing in place, looking at the two people who are entangled in the imprisoned magic, and her face clearly shows a panicked expression. And the most interesting thing is that even so, her hands are still wrapped around the various snacks and lollipops that Xiao Wu Lori scavenged from the refrigerator below, which is quite funny with the light angel's expression that looks like a discarded puppy. But it's a pity that now neither Rhodes nor Xiaowu Lori is in the mood to laugh.
"Are you alright? Catherine, be careful. Here..............."
"Whew!!"
Before Rod could finish his words, he heard a soft sound, followed by a flash of white light. The next moment, a figure with the same golden light all over his body as Catherine appeared in front of the three of them. She held her sword in her hand and looked around with a stern expression, as if she had just experienced a fierce battle. And at the same time as seeing her. Rod and Little Five Lori immediately recognized that the one in front of them was also Catherine.
However, although they are both angels of light, there is still a difference between the two Catherines. The armor worn by the Angel of Light with Rhodes was more akin to a mixture of leather and cloth armor. And she can be said to be unarmed, Rod and Xiao Wu Lori have not seen any traces of weapons and equipment on her body at all. Coupled with her melancholy expression like a literary young woman anytime and anywhere, it is simply easy to recognize. The Catherine who suddenly appeared in front of them was completely different, she was wearing a platinum armor similar to that of a war angel like Celia, and she also held a shining sword in her hand, and her whole person was filled with a solemn aura. This is such a stark contrast to the silly second guy who stood next to him with snacks in his arms and looked stupid. So much so that even if two people look exactly the same, just look at their own temperament. It is also enough to distinguish who of these two angels of light is who.
The other angel of light was obviously surprised by the sudden appearance here, and like Rod and them, she first looked around vigilantly, and stayed on Rod and Xiao Wu Lori for a moment, and then frowned and looked at the glowing cylinder in front of her. Obviously, this Angel of Light had also listened to Karen's broadcast. So she recognized what she was looking for right away.
"Spirit crystals?"
As he spoke, the Angel of Light walked towards the spirit crystal in front of him. Of course. She also carefully observed Rod and Xiao Wu Lori, and after confirming that the two seemed to be imprisoned by something, this light angel also became cautious. But even so, she didn't stop herself. After all, Karene said very clearly, only by obtaining the spirit crystal can she leave here and return to her own world. Regardless of Catherine, she obviously had no interest in staying here. Therefore, it is naturally a very normal choice for them to want to get the spirit crystal and leave here. But...............
The Angel of Light stopped.
And to the surprise of Rod and Little Five Lori, it was none other than Catherine who made this angel of light stop. I saw that at this moment, she was still hesitantly standing in front of another self. Although it seemed a little lacking in momentum, and the pile of snacks she was holding in her arms made Catherine less majestic to speak of. But even so, she still mustered up the courage to stand in front of another self.
"You, you can't go over, this spirit crystal is Mr. Rhodes and their ..............."
Then, looking at her other self, Catherine said hesitantly.
“……………”
Hearing Catherine's words, not only did the other light angel show a surprised expression, but even Xiao Wu Lori and Rod were stunned. To be honest, they didn't expect much from this "non-violent non-cooperative" angel of light. In the face of those shadow monsters, she always looked like a martyr who I didn't go to hell and who went to hell, and no one thought that she would take the initiative to come out to help herself at this time.
"But it looks like they didn't get the recognition of the crystal."
The good thing about angels is that they are orderly, so even if it is another angel of light, they do not start fighting without saying a word, but answer very calmly. Hearing her answer, Catherine hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and stood there without retreating.
"But we came here first......... It stands to reason that this crystal should be ours. And, perhaps, Mr. Rhodes, they were ......... by some accident But there's still me here, isn't it? ”
"That's true."
Hearing Catherine's words, the other angel of light nodded, and then she swung her sword sharply, pointing at Catherine.
"So, here it is, let's have a duel. The winner will get the dominance of this crystal, how? Do you have any objections? ”
"Hey............ Ay?!! ”
Catherine was visibly at a loss in the face of the blade pointed at her, and she turned her head for help and looked at Rhodes next to her, as if waiting for the other party to give her an idea. But in the face of Catherine's gaze, Rod didn't say much, he frowned, and carefully watched the scene in front of him -- the barrier that shrouded the entire rooftop, two Catherines who could move freely, and twelve spirit crystals...............
Thinking of this, Rhodes already understood what this qiē was all about. (To be continued......)
