the last king of darkness

Chapter 130
The spirit boat's consumption of psychic energy also made Rhodes clearly aware that although his psychic energy grew rapidly, it seemed far from being strong.

Without [Justice Executed], without Thunderstone or Spirit Spear, he can do almost no damage.

Still too weak!
In the next few days, Rhodes worked harder to hunt monsters.

The intensity of the Kuroshio is also increasing rapidly, and soon surpassed the previous highest peak.

The range of the guardian fire was reduced to [-] yards, and the pressure on Jianguan was enormous, but everyone was very confident, because reinforcements from Liguang Fortress would arrive soon.

But three days later, the reinforcements were still missing, and the intensity of the Kuroshio was beyond imagination, and some very difficult monsters appeared before the sword pass.

The most troublesome thing is a monster called "terror".

They were shaped like a huge, bloated dead baby, with a long umbilical cord trailing beneath them, and a huge slit full of barbs.

They are full of poison, and will continue to affect the spirit of those around them.

The climbing ability is also very strong, and the ninety-yard high wall can be climbed in a few seconds.

Whenever the Terror appears, all must rise to the walls to fight it.

And as the battle continued, many people experienced adverse symptoms such as trance, raving, and sudden memory loss.

Steel Hands knew that their spirits had been polluted, and they had to rest near the fire for a period of time and could not participate in the battle.

This undoubtedly intensified the pressure on Jianguan.

But if they are forced to continue fighting, the spiritual pollution will intensify. Once the infection spreads to the soul body, it will be over.

For this reason, Steel Hand, Dark Leaf, Moore and others formulated a combat rotation method in detail, and Mina, as a researcher, engineer and pharmacist, prepared a special medicine to cleanse the filth in the souls of the soldiers.

Among all the people, only Rhodes is an exception.

He fought the longest on the walls, fought the most horrors, and never showed any mental symptoms.

Rhodes' explanation for this is that his mental resistance is very high.

Moreover, "grass" can purify dirt.

This claim was backed up by Mina, who said that in studies of plants, they found that grasses can indeed purify water of dirt.

The environment full of green grass also has a soothing effect on the spirit.

It can be deduced from this that the tinder named "Grass" should have a similar ability.

Regarding this, Steel Hand couldn't help sighing, if Rhodes were my son, this life would be worth it.

His words represent the voice of the majority.

With such a person who is not afraid of filth, Steel Hand immediately changed his tactics.

Whenever the horrors appeared, everyone supported or covered Rhodes from a distance, and he himself rushed forward to kill the horrors one by one.

If there is such a good thing, Rhodes will definitely beat everyone in Jianguan into sons.

With a father like me, you can also be proud.

The Terror is simply the fattest soul Rhodes has ever seen.

A spiritless soul with at least 700 points, more than ten parts of spirituality and one part of fear.

Although I don't know what the fear trait is useful for, it doesn't prevent Rhodes from collecting them.

In this way, after the fifth day, Rhodes possessed [-] spiritless souls again.

Back in the room, he immediately fell into a dream.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the words engraved on the top of the obelisk.

Soul Strength: 1100
Soul Stars: 4
Humanity: 109
Divinity: 35
Spiritless Soul: 60922
During this time, what consumes the most is humanity.

There are 9 human natures that fuel [Justice Execution] every day. The higher the intensity of the stars, the more human natures need to be fueled.

And the [Spirit Boat] that was forced to ignite in advance also needs 1 copy.

There are 10 servings in total.

Fighting against terrorists, human nature is decreasing all the time, and on average, at least 1 part is needed for every one killed.

Sometimes it is slow, so you need 2 copies.

Rhodes has already used up almost 1000 points of humanity, if not for his vigorous brushing, he would have exhausted it long ago.

Gotta get a little more.

Rhodes thought.

He came to the front of the obelisk and pressed his hand on the surface of the obelisk.

In the deep night sky, four stars shone with different lights.

Rhodes moved his gaze to the bright yellow star like a ribbon, and with a thought, he put all the spiritless souls into it.

The flames of the stars began to jump and burn violently.

But far from reaching the limit.

Rhodes increased his strength, and the spiritless soul in the upper right corner dropped rapidly, the flames began to burn violently, and the bright yellow light illuminated the night sky.

Suddenly, the light froze.

Rhodes immediately poured all his strength into Spiritless Soul, and countless black and white flocs fell into the flames of the stars.

It was trembling and struggling, as if something was about to break out of its cocoon.

Suddenly, the flame shrank inward and burst into flames. The bright yellow light enveloped the night sky, and the burning spark seemed to burn through the stone tablet.

Rhodes looked away.

【Execution of justice】

[Status: Overrun Burning]

[Star Energy: Psionic Quintet]

[Injection: Complete Soul]

【Tim Huo: Human Nature】

【Quantified: not available】

[Position: Golden Fire]

[Strength: 1000]

[Description: Weeping because of powerlessness, I just want to hug you who are so helpless]

-

So strong!

Rhodes was almost blinded by the golden light.

Sure enough, the blazing fire, the golden fire, and the eternal fire, these three potentials are metamorphosis.

The stars have reached a new stage, and many requirements and descriptions have changed.

Especially these descriptions made Rhodes always feel that they seemed to exist like the words or epitaph of some kind of tombstone.

Maybe when I read all about dreams in the Book of Knowledge, I'll understand what they are.

Rhodes thought.

Taking a look at the writing on the top of the obelisk, it has become:
Soul Strength: 1240
Soul Stars: 4
Humanity: 109
Divinity: 35
Spiritless Soul: 1122
Rhodes couldn't help being speechless, the combined strength of the other three stars was only a fraction of [Justice Execution].

And [Justice Execution] consumed at least a hundred thousand spiritless souls.

It also makes the other three stars far behind.

Now, the star has reached its final stage.

It takes a whole soul out.

As long as it passes through this stage, it has reached its full state, and it no longer needs to consume humanity.

Rhodes found sadly that now [Justice Execution] has 10 human natures added to the fire every day.

100 points of humanity are only enough to add once.

Really sad people.

But Rhodes soon discovered a more worrying thing.

Some of his supplies are running low.

Due to the crazy use during this period, he has less than 200 real silver bullets left, only 20 thunder stones, and 10 spirit sealing bullets.

The soul ashes have been used up, and there are two wooden puppets left.

The only luck is that there are still a lot of materials for the spirit-sealing bullets. Rhodes made another 90 spirit-sealing bullets and used up the last materials.

It must be used sparingly.

Rhodes thought.

Why hasn't the reinforcements arrived yet?
This question is also on the minds of everyone in Jianguan.

Steel Hand has sent letters to Liguang Fortress to inquire.

But the letter sank like a stone, without any reply.

They also did not receive any messages from Liguang Fortress, Giant's Fortress, or Wangcheng.

Nobody knows what's going on.

Even the supply team hasn't been here for a long time, and the fort's supplies are almost exhausted.

The joy has long since disappeared from them, and everyone is a little uneasy, wondering if the pressure from the Kuroshio is too great, which has affected the team's itinerary.

Only Rhodes was encouraging them as much as possible, speaking hopeful words, making Jianguan a bit active.

In this way, they persisted for another two days.

On the seventh day, a very serious problem arose.

The medicine is not enough.

The most important ones are Spirit Tree Dew and Soul Red Crystal.

The former is one of the important components of Mina's preparation of spiritual potions, and the latter is an important material for restoring spiritual energy.

Meditate only by the fire and it will take at least three or four days to fully recover.

And in the Kuroshio during this period, a large number of horrors appeared.

They are not strong in combat, but spiritual pollution is the nemesis of all warm life.

No matter how far away it is, it is impossible to leave Jianguan Fortress, and it will still be affected to some extent.

Psychotropic drugs are a must.

When everyone was worried, Rhodes suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Mina, you should really sleep with me for a month."

Mina's entire face was flushed.

Although she often said some inconspicuous words, she knew in her heart that she was joking, but Rhodes didn't seem to be joking when she said it.

She said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid! You are still making trouble at this time..."

Rhodes said very unhappy: "It's great for you to call me big brother, will you die?"

Loosen the cufflinks, hold a bottle full of spirit tree dew in one hand, and hold a bottle full of soul red crystal in the other.

Putting them on the table, Rhodes squinted at her: "Do I make sense? Should you sleep with me for a month?"

Suddenly, the text that appeared in front of my eyes exploded.

Thanks from countless people +3292
Humanity +329
"My God! Where are you from?"

"You still have so many?"

"Rod, you are really our angel!"

"I'll sleep with you for a month!"

"I'll accompany you for two months!"

"I'm three months old!"

"I will sleep with you from now on!"

Rhode's face turned black. You old, ugly and muscular brothers, who wants you to accompany you?

Steel Hands said with a smile on his face: "Mina quickly go to dispense the medicine, I will keep the red crystal."

He turned his head and stared at Rhodes with burning eyes.

"Any more?"

Rhodes sighed: "There are more."

Spirit Tree Dew and Soul Red Crystal are common supplies, they are distributed every week, and they are included in various rewards. Rhodes doesn't use them himself, and has saved a lot over the years.

He originally planned to sell it for money, but now he donated it again.

And Mina ran faster than anyone else, and there was no reply to her request to sleep for a month.

No one yelled "Big brother is great."

"Big brother is great!"

Rhodes was overjoyed, and turned around to see that little fat man again.

Ok.

Forget it.

So, with the materials provided by Rhodes, the supply returned to normal.

But the crisis was not over.

The reinforcements had not been seen for a long time, and Steel Hand would look in the direction of Liguang Fortress from the city wall every day, but he never saw a shadow.

And the intensity of the Kuroshio is increasing sharply. Dark Leaf and Moore can tell at a glance that this is the main force released from the front.

They should not appear before this last pass.

There's definitely something wrong with that.

After discussing, everyone thought that there must be something wrong, and they must convey the situation here to the outside world.

The spirit crow courier may not be able to deliver the message, a courier must be sent.

After a difficult decision, everyone decided to send Dark Leaf and Beowuld, who were the fastest and most capable in melee combat, to carry out this mission.

Gang hand wrote a long letter, introducing the current situation of Jianguan in detail, then stamped Jianguan's steel seal, pressed his own handprint, and solemnly handed it over to the two.

"This is our hope, and it's all up to you."

Beowuld carefully put the letter in his arms and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Beowuld of Barley Village has never fulfilled his mission."

Dark Leaf nodded: "We went around the back of the dead mountain, first went to the Giant Fortress, and then passed the letter to Liguang Fortress. The route is very safe and the target is small. Beowuld and I are both high-speed fighters. Even if you encounter a monster you can't handle, you can run away."

Rhodes hesitated to speak.

He wanted to use the spirit boat to send it there.

But he also thought that if he left, the Terror would have nothing to do with it.

Moreover, the spirit boat consumes too much spiritual energy, and he will not be able to fight for a long time.

Before leaving, Beowuld patted Rhodes on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Little guy, don't worry about women all day long. Exercise well. I look forward to the day you become a burning star."

Rhode's face darkened, do you think I look like a hungry ghost who is hungry?

"If there is such a day, I will invite the three most popular top players on Red Square Street to play with you for a month. Beauwood will never break his promise, haha."

Amidst loud laughter, Beowuld walked out of Jianguan Fortress with Dark Leaf with big strides.

Pooh!You are the hungry ghost!
Rhodes returned to the city wall angrily and continued to fight.

There was a bit of anticipation in Jianguan, and the atmosphere finally improved.

And Moore also resorted to his ultimate move - to stimulate the power of the guardian fire.

This is an uncommon method, because it will damage the foundation of the Guardian Fire, which cannot be restored by adding phlogiston.

But now the situation is critical, the Kuroshio outside is overwhelming, and the psionic generator is under enormous pressure.

If it is not used, Jianguan will fall soon.

Rhodes also saw the power of fire for the first time.

When Moore activated the fire of protection, Rhodes felt as if the sky was dawning. The strong light shot from the center of the fort pierced through countless monsters, and burned them to ashes without even the flames escaping.

Only a few stronger monsters can last for a few seconds, but the end result is still ash.

However, the power of the fire only lasted for tens of seconds.

When it fell, the darkness came back a thousand times faster.

The range of fire was also reduced from two hundred yards to 160 yards.

On the contrary, it became more depressing.

Not all monsters were wiped out either.

Soon, the sword gate was full of monsters again, and the pressure on the psionic generator was full again.

But anyway, the powerful monster was killed.

Weak monsters can't be cleaned up, they can only defend the city wall, specifically kill monsters that threaten Jianguan, and use fire to kill groups of monsters as much as possible.

If there is a situation that cannot be dealt with, it can only stimulate the fire of protection.

Rhodes gave Moore all the phlogiston in his inventory.

Although it can't restore the guardian fire, it can increase its strength somewhat, and it can kill monsters faster.

No. 11 days.

Jianguan is close to the limit.

Whether it is Liguang Fortress or the messenger, there is still no news.

The only thing that is gratifying is that the horror finally did not appear.

This greatly restored Jianguan's combat effectiveness.

Rhodes also used the two treant puppets to the extreme, and they all turned into a pile of tattered branches in the end.

More decided to bury them lavishly—sent the branches to the fire and burned them.

No. 12 days.

There was a turning point.

A huge bug came out of Jianguan.
