the last king of darkness

Chapter 217 Hunting the Devil Dragon
Outside the hunter's tavern, behind a bald old man and beside a group of strong men, Mephis, who was dressed as a hunter, was standing.

Her silver hair and silver eyes were shining brightly in the firelight, which was particularly conspicuous.

Rhodes' ignorance made the bald man even more angry.

He jumped over with a whoosh, and his big hand slapped him on the shoulder like lightning.

But Rhode stepped aside with one shoulder, frowned and said, "Old man, what are you doing?"

Jia Han laughed angrily: "Good boy, what do you think I am doing? You are fighting and making trouble here, smashing my tavern, what do you think I am doing?"

Rhodes curled his lips and said, "They hit me first."

Jia Han stared at him with Huang Chengcheng's eyes: "You think you are right? Are you good at fighting? Hmph, let me show you what it means to be truly capable of fighting!"

With a flash of inspiration in his hand, he patted his shoulder again.

Rhodes twisted his waist and shoulders, elbowed his backhand, twisted his right arm, and said with a smile, "What do you know?"

Jia Han said angrily, "Let go, do you know who I am?"

A Duo shouted: "Grandpa Jia Han, he is helping me, these drunkards are causing trouble, don't beat him."

Jia Han said angrily, "A Duo! Are you blind?"

Rhode let go of his hand and said with a smile: "This bald-headed grandpa, the matter is just like what A Duo said, it was these people who made the first move, and we only used physical combat methods, and everyone had a friendly exchange of ideas. As for For the loss of the tavern, they have promised to pay according to the price."

Jia Han sneered and said, "I let you finish talking, it looks like we were wrong today."

He waved his hand, and a group of male hunters surrounded him.

"Boy, are you good at fighting? Hmph, let me show you what it means to have a lot of people."

At this time, a hunter suddenly said softly: "No, sir, he seems to be that Rhodes, the one who was commended by the king."

"That's right, it's him. Your Excellency Dalin thinks highly of him, and he even went to the Holy Fire Sacrifice to meet the king."

"Forget it... Your Excellency Dalin may be angry if you beat him."

The Hunter Corps is completely under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Army War Department. In their eyes, the first defense commander Lin is simply the ancestor, the General Logistics Department is the grandfather, the other defense chiefs are the father, and the army chiefs and commanders are the elder brothers.

The hunter group has always been the youngest brother.

After making great contributions twice, Rhodes has become a popular man in the eyes of the first defense chief Lin.

Many people know about this.

But Jia Han didn't show a smiling face, his expression suddenly became indifferent, showing a hint of hostility.

"Boy, I don't care who you are, as long as I, Jia Han, remain the head of the hunter group for a day, you don't want to bully others."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Master, it's fine if you don't believe me, but you don't believe it, A Duo?"

Jahan sneered and said, "I only believe what I see with my eyes. Are you good at fighting? If you are capable, go to the battlefield and hunt monsters! I am discussing with these old hunters about hunting dragons. You new hunters Drinking and making trouble! It’s really not as good as one generation.”

Rhode's eyes lit up: "Are you going to hunt the dragon?"

Jia Han looked at him contemptuously: "Headquarters-level elite mission, extremely dangerous, hunting down the corrupted dragon at the bottom of the sewers of the Royal City, do you dare to come?"

"Okay!"

Rhodes agreed and grabbed his hand.

"In order to express my apologies, I decided to hunt the dragon with you."

Jahan's eyes widened, the yellow and orange eyeballs were like copper bells.

-

After some entanglement, Rhode revealed his past deeds one by one, and Jahan reluctantly agreed to join the team, and briefly explained the reason for the mission.

The sewers of Wangcheng are extremely deep, and the middle and lower floors are restricted areas, and there are monsters that have existed for an unknown number of years.

Wangcheng's strategy has always been to clean up slowly and in a controlled manner, giving priority to cleaning up those that have a direct impact on Wangcheng.

And their mission goal this time is to hunt and kill the corrupt dragon entrenched in the bottom area of ​​the sewer.

It is a wounded ancient dragon. It does not know why it appeared deep in the sewers of Wangcheng. It has been eroded by the black mist for a long time, and the wound has further festered and deformed. Distorting and corrupting breath.

It is not completely silent. Every once in a while, it will search for food in the depths of the sewers, devouring the filth that has settled to the bottom. Every activity will cause changes in the monster group in the depths of the sewers, which in turn will affect the upper layers of the sewers.

So as soon as the Kuroshio tide ended, the Supreme War Department was considering hunting it down.

However, there are many more similar things, and the Military War Department handed over this task to the Hunter Group.

Due to the extreme danger, it is not a public hunter mission, but an elite mission belonging to the hunter headquarters.

Jahan summoned the strongest hunters in the hunter group to discuss countermeasures.

This is not a task that can be completed with a large number of people. They must hunt and kill the dragon with the smallest movement possible, so as not to disturb other silent and powerful monsters, which will only increase the defense pressure of the royal city.

Jahan finally agreed with Rhodes to join the team because he had a lot of sewer experience.

Everyone didn't expect that the two famous sewer kings in the north and south of the royal city, the black rice bucket Rhodes and the hunter eagle, turned out to be the same person.

In this way, he completed the sewer work of about 2000 people alone.

And 2000 people is the number of an army.

Jia Han couldn't help admiring: "In the sewer, you alone are an army."

The captain of this operation, Athos, the current number one hunter of the hunter group, also sighed: "Brother Rhodes, why don't you take charge of guarding our sewers."

Hey, can you pay attention to my glorious record in the third theater?
Don't you care about the glorious moment when my teammates and I destroyed the chasm of the abyss together?
Rhodes was very unhappy and determined to do even more earth-shattering things in the future to cover up the dark history of the sewer.

After he joined, the hunting team set off soon.

The first hunter, Athos, is the main position, Rhodes is the rear scout, Mephis is the middle controller, and the other four are all front vanguards.

Rhodes skillfully led them into the sewer, passed through the upper floor, and came to the entrance of the middle and lower floors.

The next road will be led by Athos.

Rhodes finally had time to talk to Memphis.

From the first time he saw him, Mephis didn't have any expression, his indifferent eyes were like looking at a stranger.

"Don't be so indifferent. Anyway, you agreed to go on a date with me. Let's meet in advance and do some warm-up exercises?"

Memphis did not answer, but Athos spoke.

"Brother Rhodes, stay away from her and don't talk to her."

Another hunter also said: "Don't look at her appearance, this woman is mean and vicious, it will be bad luck if you get too close to her."

Rhodes frowned and said: "Is it too much for you to say that? She is also our companion after all, and even if she is cursed by an unknown person, it is not her fault."

A tall hunter said: "Brother Rhodes, you don't understand the situation yet, anyway, don't approach her, she is not a human being, but a tool."

Rhodes said angrily: "What do you mean? Even if she is a taboo, she still has flesh and blood and feelings. How can she use teammates as tools?"

Athos returned from the front, his strong arms wrapped around Rhodes, separating him from Mephis.

"Everything under the silver oath is a tool."

"Don't be fooled by her appearance, she is not human."

A hunter laughed and said, "Brother Rhodes is still young, so he may not have seen a woman before."

"This time the task is completed, my brother invites you to go to Hongfang Street, there are many beautiful women, they are much more fun than this cold bitch, little brother and I will try it once and you will know."

The hunters had no scruples about what they said, but Mephis never said a word, walking silently at the end.

Rhodes frowned, feeling that things were not as simple as he thought.

He secretly made up his mind that he must ask her carefully after the mission.

The middle layer of the sewer is very complicated, and the height difference is huge. Most of the areas do not have the function of sewers, but rather like some kind of underground city.

As they walked deeper and deeper, the darkness became thicker and thicker, the range of lights was gradually compressed, and the black mist that penetrated from nowhere surrounded them.

When they jumped down a deep pit again, a thick black mist extinguished the lantern.

A red light lit up on everyone, and the red tearstone began to work.

"It's the bottom floor."

said Athos softly.

"From now on, don't use psionic power lightly, follow me, don't fall behind, I don't want to see you on the pension list."

The hunter team followed him into the dark depths.

The bottom layer of the sewer has completely lost any signs of man-made objects. There are jagged gravels everywhere. After years of precipitation, the filth seeping down from the upper layer has turned into lumps of unknown viscous matter. A cold and dark breath blows towards the face.

The bottom space is far larger than imagined, reminding Rhodes of a chasm in the abyss.

Suddenly, Athos stopped, and said softly, "Just ahead, I can hear its breathing."

Everyone stopped and listened to him continue.

"The corrupted dragon has a body shape of about two hundred yards. It retains the super strength and super high spiritual power of the ancient dragon, and at the same time has amazing corruption. Don't be hit by any part of its body."

"At the beginning of the battle, I will confront the dragon from the front, and the four of you will attack from the side. Be careful not to stand directly behind it at any time."

"Rods, observe the changes of the dragon at any time, and provide a certain degree of long-range firepower."

"You pay attention to restricting the dragon's movement."

"Set off."

Athos rushed forward first, the thunder light rose from his body, and a long spike appeared on his right hand.

The crowd followed him down a cliff at least two hundred yards high.

The next moment, Rhodes saw a huge spiritual body, and its super powerful soul waveform was covered with a layer of dark mist.

Athos shouted loudly, and the lightning flashed on the spikes, unexpectedly forming a thunder knife hundreds of yards long, stabbing heavily on the spirit body.
