chapter 16 Surround and kill one

by William 19:48,Sep 19,2023


The entrance to the tomb is right under the tree. According to Rhodes' idea, he can sneak into the tomb without being discovered by the wolves.

But what Rhode didn't expect was that when he got down to the middle of the tree, whether due to the leakage of his breath or the beast's extreme sensitivity to danger, the wolf king who was eating suddenly raised his head and looked straight at him.

Suddenly, the Wolf King let out a loud howl. In the middle of the night, this howl is extremely penetrating. The surrounding wolves stopped eating and looked towards the Wolf King.

Even when the Wolf King howled, Rhodes was not idle.

Since his whereabouts were discovered, Rhodes no longer concealed himself. He jumped directly from the middle of the tree towards the entrance of the tomb. When he landed, he rolled to remove most of the impact. After getting up, he rushed towards the depths of the tomb without looking back. .

After rushing less than ten meters, the Wolf King behind him chased directly into the tomb.

The howl of the wolf king brought the other wolves in the pack together. They lingered at the entrance of the tomb, appearing a little hesitant, but finally rushed into the tomb with the Wolf King.

The passage inside the tomb is not too long. At the beginning, Rhodes had to observe the terrain in the tomb passage while dealing with undead creatures, and it didn't take long to leave the tomb.

In a very short period of time, Rhodes, who was running at full speed, passed the position where he had previously killed the skeleton warrior and was not far from the place where the walking corpses were placed.

Suddenly, Rhodes, who was running, was shaken and felt a palpitation in his heart. The perception effect brought by the reconnaissance technique was enhanced to the extreme. Rhodes felt that the hair on his body stood on end, as if he was in great danger.

Rhodes quickly turned around and saw the running Wolf King opening his mouth to condense a burst of magical energy, and then a magic arrow took shape and shot at him at an extremely fast speed.

Rhodes quickly took out a shield from the space ring. In order to avoid slowing down his own speed, Rhodes threw the shield directly in the direction of the magic arrow.

The magic arrow hits the shield. With a loud noise, the shield was knocked down and fell to the ground, with cracks all over the surface.

Although Rhodes shortened the time he took out his shield and threw it to the shortest possible time, it still inevitably affected him. The distance between Wolf King and Rhodes was significantly shortened.

Rhodes didn't care about saving scrolls, and immediately took out a magic arrow scroll from the space ring and tore it open. The broken scroll fell to the ground, obviously unable to be used again.

In the air, a magic arrow took shape and shot towards the Wolf King. Since the magic is generated using scrolls, it cannot compare with the magic arrows cast by the Wolf King in terms of brightness and speed.

Although his own mana was enough to cast a magic arrow, Rhodes decisively chose to use the spell scroll directly in order to cast spiritualism.

The Wolf King lowered his speed and dodged to the side, avoiding the magic arrow. Although the dodge time was not long, it was enough for Rhodes, who was sprinting at full speed, to run a long distance.

The Wolf King speeded up and still chose to chase Rhodes from behind.

As Rhodes advanced, the passage changed from wide to narrow. Finally, Rhodes saw the figure of the skeleton warrior in front of him.

Rhodes found that he had returned to the position where he first woke up, with corpses lying around.

At the same time that Rhodes saw the Skeleton Warrior, the Skeleton Warrior also spotted Rhodes and prepared to slash at Rhodes with his sword.

Rhodes stared at the soul fire in the skeleton warrior's eyes. After mastering the spiritual mark, Rhodes could see the simple emotions displayed by the soul fire.

Resentment, unwillingness, bloodthirsty, desire to kill...all kinds of emotions are contained in the soul fire of the skeleton warrior. The only thing missing is his own will.

…………

"Use [Spiritual Mark]..."

"You are trying to control a first-order undead creature: the Skeleton Warrior."

"The determination of will is in progress..."

"You successfully controlled the Skeleton Warrior! During the duration of the mental mark, your mental attributes are reduced by 03!"

…………

After a moment of trance, Rhodes felt as if his spirit was missing a little. At the same time, an inexplicable connection appeared in Rhodes' mind, and the object of the connection was the Skeleton Warrior in front of him.

Rhodes had a feeling that he could order the skeleton warrior to do anything.

The skeleton warrior who originally raised his sword to strike lowered his weapon. Seeing that the Wolf King from behind was about to chase him, Rhodes asked the Skeleton Warrior to resist.

Another Skeleton Warrior should be in the tomb at the back. Rhodes did not immediately enter the tomb to control it, but instead turned his attention to the corpses around him...

The Wolf King from behind has arrived and is fighting the Skeleton Warrior. For a while, no one can do anything to anyone.

Compared to Rhode's flesh and blood, skeleton-like undead creatures have a huge advantage when facing wolves.

The Skeleton Warrior has no flesh and blood, so there is no need to worry about being injured. Unable to bite the bones of the Skeleton Warrior's leg, the Wolf King has difficulty restricting its mobility by inflicting damage. On the contrary, it has to dodge the sword blade cut by the Skeleton Warrior.

The skeleton warrior's basic attributes are relatively high, ranking among the highest among first-level creatures. As long as the Skeleton Warrior's sword kills him, the Wolf King will feel uncomfortable.

Although the Wolf King is of a higher rank than the Skeleton Warrior, due to the restraint of his characteristics, he cannot defeat the Skeleton Warrior for a while.

While the Wolf King and the Skeleton Warrior were fighting, Rhodes entered the tomb at the back and prepared to control another Skeleton Warrior.

At this time, the wolves from behind finally arrived and besieged the skeleton warrior together with the Wolf King.

Due to the huge advantage in numbers, the Skeleton Warrior only had time to kill a few wolves before the Wolf King found the opportunity. Taking advantage of the gap left by the Skeleton Warrior when he drew his sword, a magic arrow hit its cervical spine.

After killing the skeleton warrior, the wolves, led by the Wolf King, passed over the corpses and prepared to enter the tomb at the back.

Rhodes held the weapon and stood in the tomb with another skeleton warrior, as if waiting for the wolves to enter. There was no trace of the urgency on his face when he entered the tomb, but a sneer on his face.

The beast's sense of danger made the Wolf King immediately feel that something was wrong. Before it could howl to command the surrounding wolves, there was a commotion among the wolves.

It turned out that at some point, a large number of walking corpses appeared behind the wolves.

When passing the previous location, although the Wolf King judged that there were some corpses around, he did not pay attention to them. Just like the corpses outside, the intelligence of the beast made it difficult for the Wolf King to be wary of the corpses on the ground.

Now, the group of corpses stood up again, surrounding the wolves in a strange posture of stretching their bodies.

The reason why these zombies appeared was because Rhodes used spiritualism on the displayed corpses. After performing the spiritualism, Rhodes immediately used spiritual marks to control the group of zombies.

Rhodes used his spiritual imprint to control the group of zombies, telling them not to make any movement. He waited until the wolves passed them without noticing before letting them get up.

From the beginning, Rhodes had no intention of letting any wolf here go. In order to prevent the wolves that felt something was wrong from escaping, Rhodes came up with this method.

There are zombies blocking the retreat from behind. Rhodes wants to surround and kill the wolves here!
