The sewers in the inner city are very complicated, like a maze. Some areas have obviously not been visited by living people for many years. But Professor Binns only needs to take a look at the sand and dust and the structure of the walls to know where they are, where they should go, and where. Where there may be danger, there is safety.
Even know their history and who built them.
"This is a sewer built by the Tulu Dynasty in the third era. The Tulu Dynasty is a regime that advocates beauty. They believe that the more beautiful things are, the stronger their fighting power is. Art is the nemesis of monsters. All their creations have a strong sense of art. Warriors They all need to wear gorgeous clothes to fight, even the blue bricks in the sewer are the same."
"This is an auxiliary road built by the Momon Empire. This empire loves nature, and these branch-like passages are their products."
"This is the product of giants. Only they can build such huge sewers."
"We have arrived at the Tyrus area, and we will next go around the east area to the middle area of Efeld."
"Here, here, here, these three points are the areas we need to explore for this operation. If they were not built by the Habakuk people, it proves that there is a fault in this period of our history."
Rhodes asked: "Is it dangerous?"
Professor Binns put away the messy map, his calm expression never changed:
"Yes, but not big. The main danger is that our map of that area is incomplete and we cannot get lost, so our mission this time also involves exploration and completing the map."
“Will there be doomsday cultists?”
Professor Binns glanced at him, and his tone remained calm: "Impossible, this is a key area for exploration, and explorers like us often come. Doomsday cultists will only choose abandoned, abandoned areas that have no exploration value. Less dangerous areas serve as lairs.”
Rhodes nodded, not the best.
If there were, he wouldn't mind collecting some souls and listening to the voices in their souls, maybe he could find some clues.
"Nightwing, no one has been to this section of the road for about six months. There may be some threats. You take the lead."
Yeyi said loudly: "Yes! Teacher!"
The team continued to set off after a brief repair, and Molly left a spiritual lamp on the spot as a mark.
During this section of the road, Yeyi talked more. He kept bragging about how strong he was, boasting that his soul characteristic "cursed nature" was one of the seven strongest characteristics. Even Chief Dean Theodore's soul The characteristics are the same as him.
He received very high attention in the academy, and he was not suitable for others to ask him to be a special student. Moreover, his spiritual vision was also very high.
In short, this operation is all up to him. Rhodes, you can just watch from behind. If necessary, just shout "Big Brother Mighty Six Six Six".
Of course, the original words were not like this, but it was roughly the meaning. When Rhodes discovered that he could gain humanity by just dealing with him casually, the entire sewer was filled with his boastful voice.
"Don't look at me. I'm only an eighth-level combatant. Let me tell you, in the sewers, I can't fight even the first-level combatants."
"You may not believe it, but being in the sewers is not about comparing someone's absolute spiritual power. It requires experience, intelligence, and unparalleled observation skills, as well as caution, prudence, and stability. Otherwise, it will be useless no matter how strong you are. If the commotion becomes serious and the indescribable existence in the depths is disturbed, the entire royal city will suffer disaster."
"Oh, look, there is a monster in front of you. You may not have seen it. It doesn't matter. Let me tell you, this is a maggot man. It is formed from the corpse of a living person infected by black mist in a dark and putrid environment. It belongs to As for the monster type, based on the soul waveforms, psychic energy fluctuations and the characteristics of the monster itself that I saw, I initially judged that its level is not yet at the elementary level, and its psychic level is between 2-3."
"At this time, ordinary people might rush up and chop it down, but this is a sewer. We need to be more stable. We must not just go up and shoot it..."
boom!
White light flashed, and the real silver bullet traced a pure white trajectory, hitting the monster's head, and then exploded, blowing its head full of maggots into powder.
The monster's asphalt-like black soul tore apart as its body turned into countless black dust.
【Maggot Man's Soul】
good.
Rhodes was overjoyed, not just because he had gained a soul.
It only took him two seconds to accumulate energy for this heavy blow.
Before, it would take him five to six seconds.
I've really become stronger.
But Nightwing, as if a real silver bullet had been shot into his Isley, jumped three meters high and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?"
Rhodes replied casually: "Clean up the filth and hunt monsters."
Nightwing said angrily: "How can you kill like this? How do you know if there are other monsters in front of and behind it? What if you alarm the group of monsters and attract powerful beings that you can't deal with?"
Rhodes replied: "I know, I saw it, there are no other monsters."
"Haha, how much do you have vision? Don't lie. Whoever lies will have his penis rotted."
"Ninety-nine."
"Hahahaha, only ninety... uh, you're ninety-nine?"
"Um."
Nightwing burped like a duck whose neck was pinched, but he quickly adjusted his state and said disdainfully:
"Ninety-nine is nothing special. He is only a little taller than me. There are many people with perfect psychic vision. I often meet him."
Rhodes asked curiously: "How much spiritual vision do you have?"
"Nine...thirty-thirty, this is not important. What is important is are you sure you can kill it with one shot? What if you don't kill it? If it makes a noise, it may alarm monsters out of sight, or it may It will attack unstable walls that have not been strengthened by psychic energy, causing the sewer to collapse, do you understand?"
Although he felt that this guy was a bit unreliable, for the sake of team harmony, Rhodes still explained:
"I saw that there was a big weak hole in its spiritual power. If I shot it, it would go into a coma even if it didn't die."
"That's called freeze-up! It's the image of a monster's soul being disrupted due to the obstruction of its spiritual energy. Are you a special student?"
"Yeah, look, this is my special student badge."
"Okay, I understand. You are not allowed to do this next time. You must obey my command. Do you understand?"
"Um."
Yeyi reluctantly found a step and came down.
As the excavation team continued to move forward, the air gradually became turbid and full of stench.
Molly handed over the purifying ointment, which is a small transparent gel. When put into the nose, it feels refreshing and cool, and there is no smell of odor anymore.
Nightwing said: "Purification ointment and phlogiston are our most important supplies. It will be very troublesome if we run out."
Rhodes asked: "Then why don't you bring more?"
Nightwing said angrily: "Wouldn't it be better if we moved the warehouse?"
Rhodes thought, they couldn't take the warehouse with them, but he could.
It is very simple for him to enter and exit the dreamland, just pinch the lightning gesture, and anything that can be held in the palm of his hand can be brought in or out of the dreamland.
The only problem is that the cargo volume is too small, and you cannot enter and exit the dreamland too frequently in a short period of time, otherwise you will not be able to bear it mentally.
How to take advantage of this?
Rhodes continued to scan around while thinking.
Nightwing seemed to have regained his confidence and began to brag about his rich survival experience.
"Look, the soil here is of different thicknesses, and there are major problems with its hardness and density. It has been stepped on by inhuman things. I am sure that there must be monsters nearby, but I don't know where they are..."
Bang bang bang!
Three shots went out, and three black lines flew from an almost invisible distance.
【Small piece of soul】
【Small piece of soul】
【Maggot Man's Soul】
good.
Her marksmanship has also improved. Mina is indeed a broad-minded young lady, her marksmanship is really good.
Yeyi said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"I see them."
"Do you know if they have..."
"I know."
Nightwing choked, remembering Rhodes' identity as a fully psychic visioner, he had no choice but to shut up and continue leading the way.
Rhodes followed behind with his spirit gun, his soul eye operating at full capacity.
It has to be said that Nightwing is really a lucky star. Under his leadership, Rhodes can always encounter lone monsters. These low-level monsters have huge flaws. As long as he targets the flaws, he will basically kill them with one blow.
Nightwing, on the other hand, was extremely depressed. He always found the monster one step behind and couldn't even get out of his hands.
However, when they walked out of the area, things changed.
This is a completely different and huge space. The semi-circular dome made of gray boulders is hidden in the darkness and cannot be seen at all. The stone pillars with ferocious faces carved on it are scattered in the black mud. The air is very humid, and there are waves coming from the depths of the darkness. There was the sound of dripping water.
Professor Binns, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Be careful, something is wrong here. The psychically enhanced wall is damaged. Look at the soil on the ground, there is a huge thing coming here."
Yeyi's face darkened: "Teacher, let's check first?"
Professor Binns nodded slightly.
"Everyone spread out the inspection, but don't stay too far away. Rhodes is responsible for vigilance. If there is anything unusual, tell me in time."
Yeyi untied the spiritual lamp from his waist, and while carefully observing the details on the ground, he warned: "Rhode, you don't understand history, and you have no reconnaissance ability, so the job of finding clues can only be done by us. You can do it." Just be vigilant. Although your spiritual vision is slightly higher than mine, as long as I concentrate, you can also..."
"careful!"
Rhodes shouted.
Nightwing was startled, and a huge claw appeared in the air, tearing him apart from the waist.
boom!
The spirit gun fired, and the real silver bullet hit the transparent air, but exploded.
The silver light of the explosion scattered, the giant claw disappeared into the air, and the torn Nightwing turned into a transparent shadow.
The next moment, his body emerged from thirty yards away and fell into the black mud with a crash.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Nightwing jumped up suddenly.
"You are really unskilled in using the phantom technique, otherwise I would have killed it with a cursed sword in my backhand!"
Professor Binns raised his voice: "It's the undead hound! It's an evil spirit type. Its giant claws appear when it attacks. It's a high-level yet. It's about to advance, so its hunting range becomes wider. Pay attention to its raised hands. Hitting its head when grabbing it will directly stop its spiritual energy and cause its soul to freeze."
"But I can't see..."
"good."
Rhodes stared closely at the black soul, and the charge of the spirit gun in his hand had reached 99%.
The monster is still wandering around them, seemingly observing its prey. It has a huge head and unusually developed forelimbs, and the waveform of its soul is changing from slightly undulating to steep and rapid.
Rhodes remembered the words of old blind Mr. Moore. According to his understanding, it was changing from A to D. When D started to bounce, it changed from unlevel to full level, that is, from an unformed monster to a mature one. Formed monster.
The process in between was probably the monster's rank. The old blind man didn't teach them at the time, but Rhodes had already understood it on his own.
This one is close to the limit.
Its soul is restless and its spiritual energy is turbulent, and it will definitely not be able to endure it for long.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, it rushed towards Rhodes, its huge forelimbs raised high, and its sharp claws struck him down.
boom!
The spirit gun exploded instantly, and the bullet hit his head.
The explosion directly interrupted its spiritual energy operation. The undead hound fell from the air and fell to the ground. Its spiritual energy was stagnant and disordered, and a huge hole appeared in its soul.
This moment.
Rodford was so moved that he did not choose to shoot. A sickle image instantly appeared in his mind, and powerful psychic energy rushed in, quickly filling it up.
In the eyes of Professor Binns, Nightwing and Molly, the sixteen-year-old boy in front of them, who was always peaceful and indifferent, suddenly exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
His right hand became transparent, and a sickle-shaped moon hook appeared on the back of his right hand. Aura steamed from his right hand, like boiling spiritual energy.
He raised his right hand like the god of death raising his sickle, and his soul instinctively trembled.
Nightwing and Molly were both stunned. They had never seen this kind of special ability.
Professor Binns lost his calmness for the first time, his muddy eyes widened, and he murmured.
"What is this? Why would he..."
Rhodes tiptoed, leaped over, and thrust his translucent right hand into the huge soul hole of the hound.
For a moment, Rhodes felt as if he had touched countless tiny strings.
He grabbed it instinctively, pinched all the strings, and jerked.
hiss--
An invisible neighing sound sounded in my ears, like the scream of the soul.
The dazzling light gas spurted out like an exploding pressure cooker. The soul of the undead hound exploded directly, and its remaining body exploded into powder.
