On the shore of the Lake of Fire in the distance, Rhodes was testing the [Sand Journey] ability.
After acquiring a new ability, especially an ability that would be very helpful in subsequent battles, Rhodes did not hesitate to spend some time to test all the effects of this ability so that he could use it better in the future.
After completing the fusion ceremony, [Journey to the Sand] replaced Rhodes' legs, allowing him to save a large part of the optimization steps for his current body.
In Rhode's original plan, after completing the initial fusion, he would fuse his legs with the magma first, and then fuse them to the bottom of the magic ship to enhance the current mobility of his body.
The appearance of the trip to the sand allowed Rhodes to temporarily avoid this process. He could leave it behind and obtain other demon corpses, and then optimize the existing body.
Rhodes, who possesses legendary navigation skills, knows that optimizing his current body is not a simple matter. He needs a lot of demon flesh and blood to achieve the effect he wants, so there is no need to rush.
The soul contract with Hell Behemoth allowed Rhodes to gain a lot of control over his body, but it also prevented him from fusing with the dead Hell Hound. This was also the reason why Rhodes finally let go of the dog trainers in the shelter.
In the system log, there is only one description of the trip to the sand, which is that the magic ship can sail on land. However, there is no specific description of this ability, such as the speed of sailing and the limitations of the terrain. Luo De had no choice but to try it himself.
After driving around the shore and turning the surrounding area into sand, Rhodes gained a deeper understanding of the [Sand Journey] ability.
This is true of any ability. Rather than reading the instructions in the system, it is more impressive to try it yourself.
The sailing speed of the Sand Trip is controlled by Rhodes himself, and the maximum speed is equal to the speed attribute of Rhodes' character. In addition, when driving on the shore, you cannot rely on burning the soul furnace to increase your speed.
The burning of the soul furnace is not restricted. When sailing on the shore, burning the soul furnace cannot increase Rhodes' speed, but it can trigger the effect of another characteristic [Corrupted Spirit], which restores the lost health of the creatures on the magic ship.
When sailing on the shore, turning off the burning of the soul furnace can trigger various other characteristics of the Lazy Believer's magic ship, bringing additional attribute improvements to Rhodes' battle on the shore.
With the increase in the number of characteristics in the Soul Forge, no matter how Rhodes uses the Soul Forge, it can bring outstanding help to himself, especially when Rhodes fuses with the Pacey, it is equivalent to an essential improvement. This is No other magic ship, or even any demon participating in the trial, could do it.
After testing his ability to travel to the sand, just as Rhodes was about to lead everyone on the boat towards the depths of the Lake of Fire, he suddenly saw a dog trainer running towards him.
This discovery undoubtedly made Rhodes realize something. He stopped and looked towards the shelter in the distance. He saw Ceret standing at the door of the shelter, also looking at him.
Soon, the short dog handler came under the Percy.
"Lord Keret, I would like to invite you to the sanctuary to discuss some important matters."
The short dog trainer shouted to Rhodes with a sad face.
Facing the monster that destroyed his cherished magic ship and took away its ability, the dog trainer could not utter any provocative words at this time.
Without the protection of the shelter, the dog handler deeply understood that he had been placed in extreme danger. On the nearby shore, the bloody smell of the hell hound corpses reminded him deeply of what kind of battle had taken place here.
Under the siege of a large number of dog trainers and countless hell hounds, he could not stop the terrifying monster in front of him. It was even more impossible to do it with his own strength.
After thinking about all this, he lowered his posture very low, for fear of arousing the monster's anger. For those who didn't know, he thought the monster was his master.
"Ceret? Why is he looking for me?" Rhodes glanced at him and asked casually.
In Rhode's view, he had nothing to talk about with Ceret. After signing the contract, he could not harm Ceret's hell hounds, not even the dog trainer in front of him, otherwise he would be punished by the Lazy King. The curse.
However, it was just a contract after all. If Rhodes wanted to destroy those dog trainers at the risk of suffering the curse, even the power of the contract would not be able to stop him. It was a pity that he had to kill those dog trainers. The gains were not enough for Rhodes to do this.
In addition, there are some ways to circumvent the restrictions of the contract. In the previous game, with the arrival of the third expansion pack, Rhodes had met many players who had made contracts with demons, and therefore knew many ways to bypass contract restrictions.
Take the contract in front of him as an example. It only restricted Rhodes from directly harming the dog trainers, but it did not restrict him from using indirect methods. Rhodes can completely destroy the ritual circle of the sanctuary and let all the dog trainers here die at the end of the trial.
The only reason why Rhodes didn't do this was that the benefits were not high and it also required a lot of time. If the benefits really make Rhodes excited, Rhodes will not care about the contract.
The existence of the contract was originally something developed by the demons of hell in order to lure human beings into depravity. Demons who are good at contracts can find possible loopholes in any item of the contract, thereby severely harming the humans who sign the contract.
Once the person who signs the contract puts all his hopes into this contract, he will not be far from death.
Rhodes believed that Hela, who was also controlled by the devil's contract, must have been testing loopholes in the contract during this period in order to get rid of Tisi's control.
Unfortunately, only the Plaguebringer can use the power of the Gluttony Contract to control his tribe. Rhodes himself can only control the Plaguebringer. The one who made the contract with Hela was not Rhodes herself, but Tis who was watching from the bow of the ship. She had no idea how to maintain the contract, and she couldn't make any strong reply to Hela's temptation.
"Master Keret is looking for you to discuss with you about the mission assigned to us by King Lazy." Looking at the huge magic ship, the short dog trainer said fearfully.
Listening to the dog trainer's words, Rhodes's expression became solemn.
