the last king of darkness

Chapter 330 Hunting Journey
After killing several giant king ants in a row, they didn't encounter any demonized ants for a long time.

This is obviously not right, the central area is the exit of the underground world, the demonized ants in the entire Trident River area should come out from here, it is impossible not to touch any of them.

There seemed to be some strange change in the ant colony.

Just when Rhodes realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat, he suddenly met a large group of demonized ants.

In the vision of the eye of the soul, Rhodes clearly saw that there were several powerful beings in the ant colony, rushing toward them at a speed that surpassed the ant colony.

This is the king ant!
He realized in an instant that if there were multiple giant king ants, it would be impossible for them to kill them as the power of the psionic shock continued to increase.

In other words, they have no chance of winning.

"Quick retreat!"

Rhodes and Lannister spoke almost simultaneously.

Xi Li was surprised: "Why? Isn't the demonized ants afraid of being killed by us? It's the time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it!"

Lannister glanced at Rhodes in surprise, and quickly said: "The information brought by the wind tells me that a group of powerful enemies are rapidly approaching us, among them are at least four...five king ants."

Celie's heart was shocked. Lannister's gust characteristics can strengthen his perception effect. He said that if there are five king ants, there will definitely be five.

With the strength of this team, it is impossible for them to deal with more than two king ants.

"Which direction?"

"East... no, southeast, no no, west... Oh no, they're encircling us!"

Lannister's words made everyone tense up.

Only Rhodes remained calm.

"Annabelle, take them to the northwest, no matter what happens, don't look back."

Lannister's tone became anxious for the first time: "No! There are a lot of ant colonies in the northwest..."

"There is only one king ant."

"Not even one! Annabe is fast, but she will be knocked down by the psionic shock!"

"I lead it away from the other direction."

Undoubtedly, this suicidal suggestion was strongly opposed by all.

But Rhodes calmed them down with just one sentence.

"I have a special ability to escape, Mephis, Annabelle, you know that."

Annabelle had already turned into a centaur, pawing the ground leisurely, and said with a smile: "Yes, you don't have to worry, Rhodes has a space teleportation ability, when he opened up Fanxing Town, he always rushed into the monsters and exploded, right? , Amei?"

Memphis nodded slightly.

Celie was shocked: "Rhode still has the ability to teleport through space?"

"Yeah, I remember that he can open a portal and find unreasonable folds in space. He discovered many mines in Fanxing Town."

Lannister looked Rhodes up and down with a new look.

"Isn't this your black rice bucket again?"

"no!"

Annabelle said hurriedly.

"I remember what it was called a white paste, or a thick liquid or something."

As soon as the voice fell, several people in the team silently moved away from Rhodes, only Celie seemed to want to get together to ask for clarification.

Rhodes said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! Let's go!"

The crowd reluctantly jumped onto the centaur. Due to the large number of people, Rhodes made a trailer out of wooden puppets and hung it behind Annabelle. The lowly Lannister could only stand on the trailer.

Annabe pawed the ground in dissatisfaction, and muttered, "Why do I feel more and more like a horse?"

"Stop complaining, let's go! Drive!"

With a snap, Rhode slapped the horse's butt.

Annabe neighed, and the horse's hooves came together, and her figure disappeared like lightning, disappearing behind the black mist in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Rhodes flew to the direction of six o'clock, and a fast star shuttle shot hit the king ant in the distance.

With a backhand wave, a few more Star Shuttle shots hit all the king ants.

In the eyes of the soul, Annabe had already rushed into the ant colony, ordinary demonized ants couldn't stop the four of them at all, she took the trailer and rushed straight away like riding the wind and waves.

Turning his head again, six powerful king ants have already rushed in front of him.

Rhodes smiled slightly and went up to him.

Annabelle didn't lie to them, but the "white paste" she called was 【Spirit Boat】.

[Spirit Boat] can only be opened once a month, and it has only been more than 40 days since the last opening.

This month's orbit is quite long, and the [Spirit Boat] has not recovered before it has finished.

Can only use 【Resurrection Stone】.

"It's okay, I just saved a tear of the goddess, alas, I should have cherished it more before."

Rhodes exploded all his psychic energy, wanting to try his limit in the state of [Pioneer of Destruction], but unfortunately, the enhancement of pure psychic energy didn't have much effect.

The six king ants easily tore open his star shield and broke his star sword. The greatly enhanced spiritual defense did not last long, and he was quickly overwhelmed by the surging ants.

Rhode's eyes went dark, and he tried for the first time what it was like to be killed by a monster head-on.

-

When he woke up again, he had returned to the NO.20 lighthouse and was in his room.

Rhodes stretched out his hands, looking at himself intact.

No matter how many times, he felt miraculous.

After a while, Rhodes, who had already "suicided" many times, skillfully retrieved his clothes from the dream, walked out of the room, and found that Lannister and the others hadn't returned yet.

The lighthouse was empty, except for the wounded soldiers and support personnel, there were not many people there.

Most of the men are out fighting, and Commanders Herman and Tyrion are no exception.

Seeing Rhodes, several logistics staff stood up in surprise and saluted him.

Rhodes waved his hand, signaling them to continue working.

Currently in the lighthouse No. 20, Rhodes' prestige is extremely high, and everyone regards this young hero as their savior.

Any order to him is unconditional obedience, even better than the commander speaking.

The logistics staff immediately bowed their heads and continued to work. They had quite a variety of jobs, such as preparing wound medicine, making bandages, repairing the tower body, cooking soup, and so on.

Rhodes turned around and returned to the room, taking advantage of this time to prepare in the dreamland.

There was a light mist in the dream, but there was still no change.

Only the towering obelisk shows that it is different from the original.

The book was still lying in front of the Terrace of Light, the white mist on its body merged with the faint light of the Terrace of Light, and the two gray bands of light floating from the altar of soul and the obelisk were submerged in it.

Rhode glanced at it, and was distressed to find that there were more than 100 million soulless souls missing, and there were only a dozen or so powerful souls left.

"After using it so much...haven't you fixed it yet?"

Two words appeared impatiently on the back of the book of knowledge: "Don't disturb me."

Ok.

The book of knowledge is always so irritating when it is busy.

Rhodes didn't bother it any more, came to the stone platform of the hut, consumed 10 divinity points, 1 resurrection stone and the corresponding materials, made a resurrection stone, and set the rebirth location in the room.

The Stone of Resurrection is his basic guarantee.

With it, he dared to do many things boldly.

Later, Rhodes added some regular dream creations, but rare creations such as [Calus Tongwen Heavy Cannon], [Pioneer of Destruction] and [Goddess Tears] could not be added.

Scarcity of materials is a big problem.

He checked the storage box again, and there are still some special creations such as [Undead Spirit], [Guardian of Darkness], [Twisted Balance], all of which are his trump cards.

Rhode felt a little more at ease, and glanced at the inventory and soul in the obelisk again.

Human nature has exploded, and the numbers are too long to tell.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has become humanly free.

Although there is not much spirituality, there are many souls stored in the soul altar.

Sacrifice a powerful soul, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand, there will be no shortage.

Divinity decreased from 79 to 69.

This gave Rhodes a sense of crisis. He wondered when the next time the stars would shine and how much divinity he could gain.

There are still more than 2000 million souls without spirits. I used to think it was quite a lot, but now it seems that it is not enough.

A great soul became what he lacked most.

Plus, he needs more sources.

Rhodes sighed slightly, feeling that the two heads were one big.

Just as he was about to leave the dreamland, the Book of Knowledge suddenly stopped him.

"Master, I still need some very powerful souls to restore the Terrace of Light."

Rhodes frowned slightly. The Book of Knowledge had already consumed a lot of souls in order to repair it, yet he asked him for it. Isn't there enough souls in the dream?
"Isn't it? Is it necessary to use so much? What's the use of repairing the Platform of Light? Will the empty bubbles in the dreamland float faster?"

The Book of Knowledge wrote impatiently: "Do you think that the Tower of Light only has a small function of psychic reconnaissance? This is very important. It is one of the core creations of the dream, and it is related to the spirit world monsters and ancient gods after us. The killing operation is closely related, and it must be repaired!"

It was so!
Rhodes was surprised, delighted, and worried in his heart.

I thought the Terrace of Light was just a driving platform, but I didn't expect it to have such a function.

Recently, his growth rate has been too slow, he lacks soul and energy, and the demand for stars is getting higher and higher.

The reason is that there are fewer super powerful souls obtained from dreams.

The invasion stopped after Dreamland got rid of its pursuers and entered the orbit of Discord City.

The plan to hunt down spirit world monsters and the remnants of ancient gods has also been delayed for a long time because of the sleeping of the Book of Knowledge.

Once he starts hunting spirit world monsters again, there should be more powerful souls and sources.

"it is good!"

Rhodes agreed and returned to the material world.

It wasn't long before Lannister, Celie, Memphis, and Annabelle returned.

They were unhurt except for fatigue.

Only Annabelle was very upset. As soon as she returned to the lighthouse, she released her awakened state, kicked over the trailer that the wooden puppet had turned into, and went back to her room angrily.

Lannister looked serious, and said in a deep voice, "Rhod, I've thought about it all the way, and the only one who can control the monster to take such targeted actions is the Queen of Worms, who sensed our threat."

Rhodes nodded.

He also thought of this, so when he heard the words of the Book of Knowledge just now, he was worried.

"Then what should we do? Aren't we unable to enter the central area?"

"Not necessarily. I calculated the decreasing scale of the psionic field. If it is [-] yards away from the exit of the underground world, the strength of the field will decrease by one level. The queen of insects should not be able to control the demonized ants like that."

"Yes!" Celie agreed, "We were not attacked until we got deep enough."

Lannister continued: "We can hunt king ants on the edge. Teacher Churchill told me just now that the hall-level combat forces in the entire area have gathered in the center. Every time the number of king ants drops by one level, the queen's soul will As long as its psionic energy field is compressed back, it will have less space to move around, and it will be easier for us to discover."

Rhodes is very happy. With these teammates around, things are really much easier.

When they rested in the tower for a few hours, although the situation was urgent, it was necessary to recover their spiritual power. It was the most stupid behavior to go up to die in a bad state in a hurry. Both the academy and the combat troops strongly discouraged this kind of behavior. Behavior.

During this time, Rhodes and Lannister discussed many details of fighting the king ants, and prepared many targeted items.

Although the Trident River area was half-submerged, the supply of materials was not interrupted. Transporters kept coming to the lighthouse with a large box full of supplies on their backs, and left in a hurry.

There are food, medicine, phlogiston, embers, and various combat supplies in the box.

If there is a special need, Lannister will request it from the higher-level command post, and usually it will be delivered without waiting for a long time.

It will be faster if marked as expedited.

Rhodes silently lamented the power of this logistics transportation system.

It is quite difficult to ensure the transportation of materials in such an environment. It is not uncommon for transporters to be corroded by black mist, killed by monsters, and disappear.

The fact that Trorian was able to do this shows how much they sacrificed for the battle.

After everything was ready, everyone embarked on a hunting trip again.

This time, Lannister had prepared a lot of items to resist the psychic shock, and everyone already knew the king ant's combat mode. Annabelle and Mephis deliberately stood outside the limit of the psychic shock, and assembled Equipment specially designed to resist the shock of spiritual energy, such as spiritual armor and black crystal necklace.

Lannister and Celie were at the forefront, fighting hand-to-hand with the king ant.

Rhodes is in the middle position, being far and near, flexible and changeable.

The king ant was getting weaker and weaker under the influence of continuous paralysis and coldness, and the spiritual shock still couldn't hit the two people in the outermost circle. Lannister and Celie stuck to it like brown sugar, and the sixth child was not far away. To shoot it is to bucket its ass behind the back.

Under such a targeted battle, the giant king ant, which was extremely difficult to fight before, quickly couldn't hold on, and was stabbed through the spiritual energy defense by Xi Li amidst the sound of hissing, and pierced into its head.

Its tenacious vitality allowed it to successfully support until Rhodes arrived, and was killed by him.

[The soul of the large demonized king ant]

it is good!
Rhodes clenched his fist and felt unprecedented carefree.

it is good!
The book of knowledge wrote a word in his mind, quickly pulled the soul of the king ant that hadn't been warmed from the soul altar, and threw it into the platform of light.
