After controlling the surrounding undead creatures with spiritual imprints, Rhodes ignored them and just kept them outside the secluded house to guard against possible enemies, and then directly entered the secluded house.
As soon as he entered through the gate, Rhodes felt a death energy that was far different from the outside world, emerging from the secluded house. Relying on his own perception of death energy, Rhodes naturally had a deeper understanding.
Rhodes sensed that there was extremely rich death energy inside the entire Nether Mansion, but for some unknown reason, this rich death energy was firmly bound to the inner area of the Netherworld Mansion and would not spread to the surroundings. .
The death energy absorbed by the undead creatures in the outside world is only a small part of the death energy that escapes from the secluded house. However, this small part of the death energy that escapes attracts the energy surrounding the secluded house. Undead creatures.
In Rhode's perception, the death energy escaping from the Netherworld is far inferior to the purest death energy existing in the bodies of undead creatures. It's just that even these undead creatures themselves are unable to utilize the death energy in their bodies.
The most abnormal death energy that Rhodes had sensed before was still deeply hidden in these undead creatures, and it was unknown when it would show its original effect.
Rhodes believes that no matter when this death energy affects undead creatures, it will cause them to undergo great changes. By then, the existing spiritual imprints may no longer be able to restrain them and will need to be processed separately.
However, Rhodes' current attention is not on these undead creatures. What Rhodes really cared about was the secluded house in front of him.
What worries Rhodes the most about the secluded house he is currently in is that the undead creatures around him seem to have no intention of entering it.
Rhodes noticed that there was no creature guarding the secluded house in front of him. The latch on the door lock was casually placed aside, allowing Rhodes to easily enter without any obstruction.
The vampire who led Rhodes the way before obviously knew the existence of the secluded house very well. He just brought Rhodes here and then left here. Before Rhodes arrived, this secluded house was already like this. form.
Under this situation, Rhodes was naturally a little surprised by the undead creatures existing outside the Netherworld Mansion. Even if there were no restrictions, these undead creatures still did not enter the Netherworld Mansion, but waited outside. Rhodes believed that this should be related to the existence of the mansion itself.
Rhodes had no intention of delving into the anomaly in front of him, but just kept a vigilance in his mind.
In Rhode's view, these low-level undead creatures did not enter the haunted house due to certain restrictions, but this does not mean that all undead creatures will be subject to such restrictions.
For this reason, even if he was inside the secluded house, Rhodes could not be too reassured. In order to ensure his own safety, he must always be vigilant to avoid any abnormalities. Rhodes knew that the secluded house he was in could only be regarded as a temporary place to stay, waiting for the opportunity to come, and it could not really give him peace of mind.
Since the overall environment of the secluded house is not as safe as Rhodes thought, his previous control of the undead creatures was precisely for this purpose, to protect the surrounding environment during this period of time.
After entering the secluded house, Rhodes continued to walk inside without stopping. In Rhodes' perception, as his own steps progressed, the concentration of death energy around him also changed.
Inside the secluded house, the light was extremely dim. Under the cover of the dark sky, before entering the secluded house, Rhodes' vision was slightly obstructed. However, with the blessing of the eagle eye technique, he could still observe the scenery in the distance. But now, Rhodes was completely unable to see clearly the environment inside the quiet house.
Realizing this, Rhodes also took action. He raised his hand towards the corner of the secluded house that he had observed through some light.
Following Rhode's movement, inside the secluded house, on the wall not far away from him, on the candlestick that had been used by someone unknown how long ago, the remaining half of the candle lit up with fire.
Walking to the candlestick, Rhodes tried it and took it in his hand without much effort to illuminate things in the secluded house.
Under the light of the fire, Rhodes was able to carefully observe the things in the quiet house. Looking around, Rhodes noticed that the space inside the mansion was much smaller than it looked from the outside.
At this time, outside a room in the secluded house, Rhodes stopped in his tracks. According to Rhodes' perception, the place with the strongest death energy in the entire secluded house is in this room.
Pushing the door open, what appeared in front of Rhodes was a staircase going down. Rhodes walked down the stairs. With the firelight emitted by the candlestick in his hand, Rhodes could clearly see what existed in the basement in front of him.
Rhodes noticed that there was an open coffin placed in the center of the basement, with the coffin board casually placed on the ground.
Inside the entire secluded house, the place where the death energy is the strongest is right where the coffin is placed.
Thinking of matters related to the haunted house, Rhodes understood that the coffin in front of him was prepared for a real vampire.
Recalling when he first discovered traces of vampires in the tomb, Rhodes noticed that the vampire at that time was also in a coffin. For vampires, this was obviously their favorite way to sleep.
Under the circumstances, relying on the existence of this coffin, Rhodes successfully used the flames to force the vampire to transform into bats multiple times, and only then achieved the final victory in the battle.
Obviously, the existence of the coffin cannot provide the best protection for the vampire itself. Once the sleeping vampire is discovered by other creatures, the coffin will instead become a restriction for the vampire itself.
In Rhode's impression, the death energy absorbed by the vampires at that time should be provided by the soul crystal. In a special environment similar to the ghost house, due to the extremely rich death energy, there was no need at all. Something like a dead soul crystal can accomplish this.
Compared to the tomb where he was originally, the death energy that Rhodes sensed at this time was many times more intense.
Regarding this habit of vampires themselves, Rhodes could only believe that they chose to sleep in coffins in order to speed up their own level improvement.
