Chapter 76 Exploring the Mansion
Due to the spell being cast, facing the dagger that Rhode stabbed at him, the mayor could not dodge to the side. The dagger in Rhodes' hand completely sank into the mayor's chest.
Realizing that his body was pierced by the dagger, the mayor seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
The tip of the dagger broke out from behind the mayor, and Rhode's thrust directly pierced the mayor's heart, killing the mayor.
In an instant, because the mayor was dead, the bone vines lost control, and the surrounding vines began to wave wildly.
As long as the undead creatures are casted by the necromancer at the low level, no matter how their own strength grows, they cannot get rid of the control of the spiritual imprint unless the necromancer dies first.
Since the spiritual imprint has obvious master-slave attributes, when the undead creature dies, the spiritual attributes used by the necromancer to control will be fully returned.
In the mind of the necromancer, the mental imprint will dissipate in an instant. If the necromancer does not pay attention to perception, or investigates the number of mental imprints, it is almost impossible to perceive the abnormality.
And once the necromancer dies, when the spiritual imprint of the undead creature dissipates, it will produce a clear sense of pain. This pain arises directly from the fire of the soul, beyond the confines of the body.
Due to the unbearable pain, undead creatures go into madness for a short period of time. The stronger the undead creature, the stronger the spiritual imprint in the fire of the soul, and the stronger the pain.
Because of this, as the spiritual imprint in the soul fire dissipated, the bone vine fell into a state of madness, and all the remaining vines on the body began to shake randomly.
A rattan hit Rhodes in front of him, directly knocking Rhodes flying. The mayor's body was also knocked flying by this cane.
Rhode was hit by the rattan and rolled for a distance, as did the mayor. Even though he was swept away by the rattan, Rhodes still held the dagger tightly in his hand.
After falling to the ground, Rhode's body was extremely weak.
The red light on the dagger did not dissipate. Even though his body was still lying on the ground, Rhodes still tried to bring the dagger close to his body.
At this moment, one hand grabbed Rhode's hand holding the dagger. The fingernails on his hand were sharp, like claws, and it was the vampire that ended the bat transformation.
The vampire tried to grab the dagger in Rhode's hand, but because Rhode firmly grasped the dagger and the dagger was extremely sharp, for a while, the vampire couldn't take the dagger from Rhode's hand.
At this moment, the vampire grabbed Rhode's hand as if he had received an order, and slammed it violently towards the ground twice.
Due to Rhode's weakness, the clenched hand gradually loosened after hitting the ground twice.
Immediately, the dagger was blown away by the vampire and finally fell to the ground.
Since the dagger had been released, the consciousness in the dagger faded rapidly, and Rhode woke up.
As soon as he woke up, Rhode felt a pain in his body.
The severe pain couldn't stop coming towards Rhodes' mind. At this time, Rhodes had obvious wounds on his arms and all over his body, and he couldn't stop bleeding from the outside.
Due to the pain, coupled with the weakness caused by excessive blood loss, for a time, Rhodes only felt that it was difficult to control his body.
With his last consciousness, Rhodes opened the attribute panel and assigned attribute points to his constitution.
In an instant, Rhode felt a numbness coming from his body, and the wound on his body quickly recovered. Rhodes opened the attribute panel and saw that the originally extremely low health value had recovered to about half.
The recovery effect of attribute points will gradually weaken with the improvement of physical strength. Compared with the beginning, Rhode's strength has improved a lot. Therefore, a little attribute point can only restore Rhode's health to half.
Seeing this, Rhodes took out a few healing magic scrolls from the space ring, and after tearing them apart, the healing applied to Rhodes.
Under the action of attribute points and scrolls, Rhode's wounds gradually recovered.
At this moment, the rattan stopped beating the surroundings indiscriminately, and had recovered from the pain caused by the dissipation of the mental imprint.
Several vines were entangled towards Rhodes, and the vampire beside Rhodes immediately greeted them and resisted these attacking vines.
Rhodes got up, came to the side at the same time, and picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground.
Just as soon as it came into contact with the dagger on the ground, the dagger sent a burst of consciousness towards Rhodes again, apparently wanting to continue to control Rhodes.
However, the moment Rhodes just touched the dagger, he directly incorporated it into the space ring.
After all, the dagger is just a prop. When it was put into the space ring, the dagger consciousness in Rhodes' mind turned into a strong unwillingness, but to no avail.
Earlier, although Rhodes' consciousness was suppressed by the dagger, Rhodes could clearly see what the dagger did in his consciousness. Rhodes clearly knew that the dagger controlled him and killed the mayor.
Under the suppression of the dagger consciousness, Rhodes' own consciousness completely lost control of his body, but Rhodes found that he could still control vampires through his mental imprint.
Rhodes realized that if he wanted to regain his consciousness, he could only get the dagger out of his hands.
Although the dagger did not attack the vampire for a while, Rhode understood that if he directly let the vampire come up to snatch the dagger, the vampire would also be attacked by the dagger.
Therefore, Rhodes could only let the vampire look for opportunities beside him, and finally knocked down the dagger, and Rhodes' consciousness was restored.
After dealing with the dagger, Rhodes turned his attention to the body of the bone vine.
At this moment, in Rhode's sight, several vines grabbed the mayor's corpse and pulled it to the position of the bone vine body.
The cocoon-like object that Rhodes thought was opened at this time, revealing the internal structure of the bone vine.
The inside of the bone vine is a blood-colored space. There is no obvious organization in the space, only full of liquid.
The rattan grabbed the mayor's body, sent it into it, and then closed the space.
At this time, the two ghosts and other ghosts controlled by Rhodes have also arrived here.
Since the mayor was dealing with Rhodes, he could not be distracted and control the skeleton warrior. Losing the control of the mayor, the disadvantage of the low rank of the skeleton warrior was exposed, and he could only be killed by ghosts and ghosts.
Although the undead creatures from the rear arrived, Rhode did not let them move, but just looked at the bone vine in front of him.
After swallowing the mayor's body, the bone vine began to undergo a change, and a burst of blood passed from the center to all the surrounding vines.
At this time, the cane that was cut off by Rhodes grew out again, and it had a tendency to continue to extend around. The originally shorter cane began to grow wildly around after receiving this bloody light.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhode knew that the strength of the bone vine had been improved. Not only did he recover the parts of his body that had been cut off by Rhodes, but his strength was further improved.
The bone vine devoured the mayor's flesh and blood. According to the mayor's strength, his flesh and blood can greatly improve the ability of the bone vine.
Several vines attacked in the direction of Rhodes. Seeing this, Rhodes had to dodge to the side.
As for the rattan that attacked him, because he could no longer use the dagger, and the blade in his hand was not sharp enough, Rhode could not cut it off and could only avoid it.
Several vines attacked again, and Rhodes dodged to the rear again. Before he knew it, Rhodes came to the rear of the ghost and the ghost.
At this time, looking at the rattan that was still trying to wrap around him, Rhode also realized that the main target of the rattan was himself.
What the bone vine needs is its own flesh and blood.
Although the body of a vampire is also effective for Bonevine, because Bonevine has seen the vampire's bat transformation skills, it is difficult to entangle it and pull it to the back. At this time, Bonevine set his target on Rhodes.
At this time, because Rhodes retreated to a position far away from the bone vines, although the bone vines wanted to attack Rhodes, they were blocked in time by the surrounding undead creatures.
After swallowing the mayor's flesh and blood, the power of the surrounding rattan has been greatly enhanced. In this very short period of time, many ghosts around have been killed.
Rhodes did not manage the bone vines, but walked directly towards the back of the passage, and the surrounding undead creatures also retreated, but under the entanglement of the vines, several ghosts were still dragged by the bone vines and killed.
Since the mayor is dead, and the bone vine's body is located deep in this room, without the mayor's control, Rhode is not in a hurry to deal with the immobile bone vine.
Unlike vampires, although the bone vine has a strong advantage in defense, due to the limitations of the bone vine itself, it is destined that it can only be used to station in one place, and cannot follow Rhodes to other places.
Rhodes was destined to not stay here for a long time, so Rhodes chose to convert bone vines into experience points.
Due to the limitations of the bone vine itself, without the protection of the mayor, Rhodes only needs to set the entire mansion on fire to destroy it.
Therefore, Rhodes did not rush to destroy the bone vines, but retreated outside the room first and started searching in the mayor's mansion.
The mayor's body has been swallowed by bone vines. Rhodes may not be able to obtain the items carried by the mayor, but Rhodes can still search for the rest of the items in the mansion.
Therefore, Rhodes needs to search the entire mansion.
Rhodes returned to the hall of the mansion. At this time, the black clouds outside had dissipated, revealing a fairly bright moonlight. Since the gate of the mansion was not closed, the moonlight shone into the interior of the mansion.
Although it was illuminated by the moonlight, Rhodes still had difficulty seeing the things inside the room. Rhodes looked around for a while, and finally found the torch that the ghost had left at the beginning, lit the torch, and Rhodes began to search the inside of the mansion.
Rhodes began to explore inside the mansion along the room where the bone vines were.
On the first floor of the mansion, there are a lot of rooms. It was these rooms that Rhodes first started to check.
Rhode pushed open the door, all the empty objects in these rooms, as well as the dust accumulated on them, were undoubtedly telling Rhodes that there were still many people here before.
Compared with other houses in the town, the mansion is extremely huge.
Although the mayor is a necromancer, because he settled here, in order to make his life more comfortable, there are many servants in the mansion. Servants need to tidy up the mansion, prepare meals, and serve the mayor.
At this time, there was no one in the mansion, and Rhode estimated that this had a lot to do with the bloody aura he found around the bone vine at the beginning.
Rhode realized that since the mayor controlled most of the skeleton warriors, the walking corpse who pretended to be the mayor at the door should be one of the servants living here. Use the camouflage method to deceive Rhodes.
Rhode pushed open the surrounding doors. Although these doors were closed, they were not locked.
There were several rooms in a row like this, and Rhode did not search further inside the room. Although these servants might have some gold coins, they were obviously not worth mentioning for the mayor's wealth.
Because he was afraid of missing something, Rhode was not in a hurry. After opening a door, he observed and sensed the breath inside the room. After confirming that it was just an ordinary room, he went to search for the next room.
It didn't take long for Rhodes to find a larger room beside these rooms.
There is a long table in the room, and there are some chairs on the side. There are some decorations around, but they are only common items.
After scanning the items in the room, Rhode knew that this was not the room he was looking for, so he went to the next room.
Soon, Rhodes finished searching the first floor of the mansion.
Most of the rooms on the first floor are ordinary. Except for the special room where the bone vine is located, there is only one room for equipment that is helpful to Rhodes.
A large number of iron swords and special-style iron shields are piled up in this room, and there are also some iron armors, which are obviously prepared by the mayor for the skeleton warriors. Rhodes collected some iron shields and put them into the space ring.
Soon, Rhodes came to the second floor of the mansion.
Rhodes came to the door of a room on the second floor. Unlike the unlocked rooms on the first floor, a keyhole on the door attracted Rhodes' attention.
Seeing this, Rhodes let the ghosts beside him start slamming against the door.
Yin Soul slammed into the door with all his strength, and knocked the door open in a few seconds. After the collision, the dark light flowed on the body of Yin Soul, and he recovered from his injuries.
Rhodes stepped into the room.
In Rhodes' perception, the original strong death energy inside the mansion became thin in the room, replaced by rich magical elements.
Rhodes looked inside the room, and there was a table at the entrance. There were several books on the table, as well as a stack of manuscripts and a quill for writing. The bookcase at the back is full of books.
Rhodes knew that this was the mayor's study and the location where he studied spells.
Coming to the desk, Rhode took a book placed in the middle of the desk and began to check it.
After looking at it for a while, Rhode put down the book in his hand in disappointment.
There is a lot of spell knowledge recorded in the front of this book. Therefore, when Rhode just flipped through the book, he thought it was the mayor's magic book. When Rhode turned the page to the back, he found that all spells were all spells. Not recorded.
Among them, the knowledge recorded in the book covers the spells of the four lines. Although it was only a simple look, Rhodes realized that the owner of the book has at least intermediate-level spells of the four lines.
Seeing this, Rhode closed the book and reached out to take another book on the table.
