Chapter 971 Lake Island
The emerald green acid mist filled Rhode's surroundings, and Rhode's line of sight could only be maintained within a very small range.
At this time, the special skill Scouting that Rhodes had learned was just able to play a role, which expanded Rhodes' sight range a lot, but it was still very limited.
If it wasn't for the signal from the perception that made Rhodes clearly aware of the location of the artifact parts, in this unchanging environment without anything as a marker, Rhodes might have been lost long ago.
All the way forward, the expected creatures in the acid mist did not appear. When Rhodes used Lingbo Microstep for the third time, he finally came to a piece of land.
The surroundings were also filled with acid mist. Looking around, Rhodes couldn't see any creatures. If it wasn't for his perception, the location of the artifact parts was getting closer and closer, and Rhodes would even doubt the direction he was going.
There was a solid touch under his feet, no longer the floating feeling of walking on the acid liquid with light steps on the waves, Rhodes knew that this was the island in the middle of the lake that Savina said.
After crossing the lake of plague and arriving on the island, Rhodes felt a little more at ease. Compared with the previous scene on the lake, besides not needing to continue to consume mana at this time and cast Lingbo Weibo, even if he encountered enemies and needed to fight , and don't worry about other creatures hiding under the acid.
Before coming here, Rhodes had thought about what form the magician might exist in this area.
In Rhodes' view, if the town is to be maintained on the island in the middle of the lake, the most likely way for these magicians is to use magic rituals to raise a special barrier to completely isolate the inner area. Come, to achieve your own purpose.
For creatures without legendary resistance, this area shrouded in acid mist has undoubtedly become a restricted area for their actions. No matter what the magician inside does, they don't have to worry about being disturbed by alien creatures.
Even though he had landed on the island in the middle of the lake, the signs of acid mist still did not subside, and in Rhodes' line of sight, he did not see any traces of living things.
For this reason, Rhodes only thought that he was still at the outermost edge of this area and had not been able to touch the core area of this place. Perhaps only by going deep into it could he discover the real abnormality.
Just walking forward like this, after a while, in Rhodes' sight, the outline of the shadow appeared behind the emerald green acid mist, and Rhodes couldn't confirm what it was even through the acid mist.
Due to the obstruction of the line of sight, Rhodes can only confirm the scene in front of him when he is close enough. For this reason, Rhodes travels at a much faster speed.
Still keep enough vigilance in my heart.
As the distance shortened, the things that were originally covered by the acid mist showed their full view in front of Rhodes' eyes.
It was a wall that had been half collapsed long ago. It had existed for an unknown amount of time in this environment full of acid mist, and it extended to the distance. The wall in front of Rhodes was full of traces of corrosion, and the remaining clods were of different heights. Not far away was an opening of a size that could allow carriages to pass through.
Relying on his own knowledge, Rhodes was able to tell that the wall in front of him should be a structure similar to a city wall, but it has been abandoned by now, and under the shroud of acid mist, there is no need for a city wall here.
Perhaps because of being in the acid mist for a long time, the land under Rhodes' feet, including the remaining part of the city wall in front of him, although it is full of traces of corrosion, has not completely melted away, and still has some shapes.
I heard from Savina that when the lizardmen living near the Plague Lake collected the acid in the pool as a weapon, most of the utensils they contained were also made of mud by the lake. If utensils made of other materials were used, I am afraid that the utensils containing it will be corroded before the acid solution comes in handy.
Along the opening on the city wall, Rhode entered the area without any hesitation.
The existence of legendary resistance allows Rhodes to move freely in this area. Rhodes has a lot of doubts about this special area in front of him.
After entering it, more and more abandoned buildings appeared around. Unlike the city walls, many buildings could not withstand the corrosion of acid mist due to their materials. At this time, they had completely collapsed, leaving only the foundations. Pieces all over the place.
Only a few buildings, after most of them collapsed, can still retain some of their former structures, and under the shroud of acid mist, they reveal strangely shaped shadows.
After realizing this, even though he noticed a shadow appearing in the acid mist, Rhodes no longer went to check it out.
Perhaps because of the age, there should have been some things left on the street that Rhodes walked on, but when Rhodes looked around, all he saw were corroded and shapeless lumps, even if Rhodes It may be difficult to get any clues from it.
Rhodes still couldn't perceive the existence of death energy. In this acid mist, death energy seemed to have disappeared. Everything in it would lose its original form under complete corrosion. Compared with other things, corpses Nature is the first to be destroyed by corrosion.
The hint from the perception is still as strong as ever. Although Rhodes is very concerned about the surrounding environment, he still hasn't forgotten the real purpose of this trip.
What made Rhodes very concerned was that the end point of his trip, that is, the source of the signal in his perception, was not far from him, and it seemed to be somewhere in the city.
According to the information learned from the Thieves Guild and Savina, in Rhodes' view, the abandoned town he is currently in should be a town once established by a magician.
Although the buildings in the city have been corroded for a long time, Rhodes can't tell what kind of creatures built the town in front of him from the architectural style alone, but Rhodes has such a premonition in his heart that the town in front of him is similar to the monster. Artists are closely related.
After walking through the city for a period of time, passing through countless buildings that had already collapsed, Rhodes finally arrived at the destination of the trip.
In front of a ruin formed by a collapsed building, Rhodes stopped his footsteps.
The signal from his perception made Rhodes realize that the artifact parts he wanted to obtain during this trip were buried deep in the ruins, and he didn't know how long it had been there.
Rhodes looked around, it was still a verdant scene, there were no expected enemies, no possible battles, not even a living creature, and the last artifact part he wanted was right under his feet, waiting with his acquisition.
