the last king of darkness

Chapter 153 Detective Rhodes

Green Grass Town was attacked more than two days ago, and Rhodes didn't care about other content at the moment he knew the time.

Just a photo of the book of the past is enough, what's the use of listening to so many details?

This is not the first time Rhodes has used this book. After obtaining it, he has practiced it many times.

In addition to his bedroom, he also went to many places in the base, and confirmed that there are no taboos in it, and he can see any picture, there are no dead ends, and there are no secrets.

After turning 31 pages of the book, the picture 31 hours ago appeared in the consciousness.

In the calm green grass town, shrouded in bright firelight, the townspeople are working in a large area of ​​grass, adding nutrients, pulling out bad grass, and cutting flowering branches.

Guards stood on the stone roof, watching the perimeter warily.

Suddenly, a guard blew his whistle and shouted: "Attack! Level [-] battle preparation! Non-combatants evacuate immediately!"

The townspeople ran inwards quickly but in an orderly manner.

At the same time, out of the black mist two hundred yards away, a huge half-skeleton dog's head poked in.

The fire ignited on its head in an instant, but it was not afraid at all, and it also poked in the second half of its corrupted body.

This is a deformed monster, its whole body is full of the smell of corruption, and the fire can only ignite tiny flames on it.

Next, what Rhodes saw was a one-sided battle.

The big dog easily knocked down the guards, smashed the stone house, and destroyed a large grass field.

When the fire got bigger, it returned a black mist.

The guards who came to support rushed to nothing.

This is the end of the screen, there is no need to read the rest.

Rhodes opened his eyes and said: "A giant dog with a head as big as half a house and a body as big as a carriage. The flesh and blood are highly corrupted. You can see the bones. It has huge eyeballs and is very fast. It likes to attack with skulls. , Several guards were seriously injured by them in this way."

Iron Wolf sneered.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's as if you saw it with your own eyes."

But Tiancha, who was checking the traces on the ground, said, "Iron Wolf...seems to be real."

Iron Wolf said coldly: "If this is true, I'll eat shit on the spot."

Rhodes was stunned: "No, this is too disgusting, why do you all like to eat this thing so much?"

Iron Wolf said angrily: "You are so proud..."

At this time, the tiger suddenly shouted: "Look! The traces of the stone house's destruction look like a hammer smashing through the front. I'm still wondering what kind of monster has a hammer-like weapon."

Iron Wolf was silent for a few seconds.

"That was just a coincidence..."

"No, no, the traces on the ground are also very similar."

Iron Wolf looked closely for a moment, and said angrily: "This is clearly a mark left by a two-legged monster!"

Rhodes explained: "The giant dog's hind limbs are strong, but its forelimbs are atrophied. When moving, it is mainly the hind limbs that exert force."

Iron Wolf choked for a moment, saying this, he also discovered this from the subtle traces.

But eating shit is not okay.

He quickly found a new reason.

"How do you explain the scorched marks? The guardian fire is not a natural fire, and it is impossible to burn the ground."

Before Rhodes could speak, the tiger spoke up: "According to him, this should be a deformed beast. It may be a complete body in appearance. This is the trace of its decayed matter falling on the ground and being burned completely by fire, isn't it?" Scorch marks."

Iron Wolf's face turned red.

According to the hunter's knowledge, this is a reasonable explanation, and he couldn't think of a second, more reasonable explanation for a moment.

Tiancha kindly raised a new question: "Why did the abnormal beast attack here? And why did it run away?"

The tiger's simple and honest face instantly became very serious.

"This may be because it has reached its full body form and is trying to find a safe place to sleep for the next step of transformation."

Iron Wolf immediately took up the topic: "In that case, there won't be only one monster."

"Yes, it may be a group of monsters."

The theoretical knowledge of Da Chong seems to be very solid, and there is anxiety in his tone.

"We must destroy it as soon as possible, otherwise once it enters a deep sleep, a black cave will form here, and abnormal beasts will be born continuously."

Iron Wolf said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we don't know the direction yet..."

"This way."

Rhodes pointed to the northeast.

"The monster is running this way."

Iron Wolf said angrily: "Of course I know, but can you ensure that you can still discern the direction after entering the black mist?"

"sure."

"Why can you?"

"Of course it's because of my sharp eyes, superb wisdom, and strong deductive reasoning ability..."

In the past, Iron Wolf would definitely spray this person so that his mother didn't even know him.

It is very difficult to identify the direction after entering the black mist. If it is not for the existence of the genius invention "astrolabe", no one would dare to travel long distances in the black mist, let alone track the traces of monsters in the black mist.

But now, this person has just demonstrated extraordinary ability, and he owes others a pile of shit for it.

Iron Wolf hesitated for a moment, then remembered his 34 sewer missions, and decided to trust him temporarily.

"Okay, you lead the way and get ready to go."

After Iron Wolf briefly explained the backup matters to the mayor, he led the three of them into the black mist.

"I'm the former leader, responsible for fighting monsters head-on. Da Chong, you are the forward, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Tiancha, you are the middle position controller, mainly protecting the rear. Dawn Blade, you are the rear scout."

Rhodes nodded slightly.

He now fully understands the meaning and responsibilities of tactical positions.

Along the way, Rhodes perfectly fulfilled the duties of this position. His super high spiritual vision allowed him to see everything in the black mist, and the Book of the Past allowed him to accurately grasp the traces of monsters.

The road was also relatively safe, except for some dust, they did not encounter other monsters.

It's just that the iron wolf looks more and more unbelievable.

He was completely unable to understand how the person in front of him distinguished the traces, although he would stop and look at the ground every dozens of steps before deciding on a new direction.

But he looked left and right, where are the traces on the ground?
Iron Wolf gathered all his experience of the past 30 years, almost popped his eyes out, and found no traces from the wasteland that had nothing special.

However, judging from the aura of Dawn Blade, he seems to be very determined in his direction.

Generally speaking, except for first-timers, few people are blindly confident, which is a rare quality.

And the man who created the miracle of the sewer cannot be a novice.

Then, there is only one possibility left.

He really saw the traces left by the monster.

but why?
Iron Wolf couldn't understand after thinking about it, so he couldn't help asking: "How did you see it?"

"Seeing with eyes."

Tiancha burst out laughing: "You are so interesting."

Da Chong also laughed and said, "Is this a high-spirited visionary? The world he sees is different from ours."

Iron Wolf closed his mouth and decided not to speak for now.

About an hour later, they came to a hill.

Rhodes said, "Just ahead."

Iron Wolf nodded. He had already seen that the black mist was gathering signs in this area, which proved that there was a relatively powerful existence here.

If left unattended, more and more powerful monsters will be born inside.

If it goes on for a long time, its main body will further become a higher-level monster, and this place will become a monster's den.

This guy really has special scouting skills.

"I head."

Iron Wolf said.

"Da Chong, look for the opportunity and then attack. The serious injury last time cost you all your savings. You must be careful this time."

"Tiancha, you mainly protect the rear scouts, and your spiritual recovery is too slow."

"Blade of Dawn, don't meddle in our battle lightly. I've seen it all the way. Your basic combat ability is too low. Like a fresh graduate, you must not have exercised at ordinary times. If I don't entangle the monster, let it attack you!" It would be bad to come here."

Tiancha asked worriedly: "Iron Wolf, can you stand it alone?"

Iron Wolf smiled and said: "Don't forget my characteristics, the man with the greenery will not die, and, besides, I'm already six flowers."

The two were surprised: "Really?"

"Of course!"

Iron Wolf smiled, his body suddenly swelled up, and his gnarled muscles swelled like balloons.

In just a few seconds, he was a green giant at least ten yards tall.

And his clothes were obviously specially made, they weren't broken, they just turned into a thin film covering his body.

Rhodes looked at the Hulk in surprise. This was the second time he saw this transformation, and he was still shocked.

"I'm up."

Iron Wolf's voice became low, like rolling thunder.

He turned around, paused, and crashed into the hill like a green lightning bolt.

Rhodes stared at his back closely. From the perspective of the eye of the soul, his soul also swelled, and in the hills farther away, he had already seen some signs of monster activity.

"Let's follow."

The tiger said in a deep voice, moved his body, and followed behind the iron wolf.

Then came sweet tea.

Rhodes is at the back, he has the largest perspective and is the easiest to spot danger.

Although Iron Wolf's spirit vision was much lower than his, he was also an experienced old hunter. He didn't rush into the monster's lair recklessly, but first attracted a monster out.

Monsters generally only act according to instinct. If you master the method, it will be much easier to deal with.

This is a small deformed beast, the flesh and blood on its surface is relatively intact, no bones can be seen, and the eyeballs are not so strange.

Judging from the waveform of the soul, it shouldn't be very strong.

In Rhodes' sight, the monster's words appeared again.

Aberration

Type: Monster.

Threat: Medium.

Soul Traits: Corruption.

Danger: Strong bite force.

Rhodes now has some understanding of this phenomenon. This seems to be the information recorded in the dream. If the information is missing, only part of it will be displayed or nothing will be displayed.

The threat to me is medium, and the threat to them is definitely lower.

Rhodes thought.

Sure enough, after the iron wolf pulled it out, he beat it in all directions. Regardless of his speed, strength, skill, and size, he was far superior to that deformed beast. Under the heavy punch, its spiritual energy became more and more powerful. The more stagnant, the weaker the soul.

The tiger hid aside, saw the opportunity, rushed up suddenly, pulled out two steel claws from behind, and swung it violently at the abnormal beast, several invisible transparent waves knocked it to the ground, leaving behind the deformed beast. There are several traces of deep visible bone.

Tiancha also raised her hand. Powerful psychic energy gathered in her hand. There was a strong humming sound in the air. A translucent spear appeared in her hand. Her seemingly weak body suddenly showed steel-like muscles. , opened his arms, and threw the spear in a perfect posture. The powerful force even stirred up a storm.

The air spear hit the aberrant beast, knocking its skull flying.

It wailed and fell to the ground with a crash, a huge hole appeared in its soul.

"Okay, don't waste psionic energy."

Iron Wolf shouted.

"I come."

He raised his huge green fist, and when he was about to smash it down, a figure suddenly rushed over, inserted his shiny right hand in, and then pulled it out violently.

Accompanied by a muffled sound that seemed to come from the void, Iron Wolf clearly saw its soul fall apart, as if that moment had torn the thread of his soul.

The soul of the aberrant beast quickly dissipated into the air, like a drop of ink falling into water.

And from his invisible perspective, a black line sank into Rhodes' body.

【Soul of the Abnormal Beast】

[Spiritless Soul +24]

Rhodes curled his lips.

Not quite.
