the last king of darkness

Chapter 444
Although Rhodes was full of fighting spirit, Horus and Night Breeze explained the situation of the Plague Forest in detail.

The Plague Forest is located in the southeast of Xinghuan Town, and it is a forest growing in the swamp.

This place used to be the exit of the Starry Sky City's sewer, and countless filth gathered here through the sewer, so unimaginable germs and toxins also gathered here.

After the destruction of the Starry Sky City, black mist shrouded the place, and a terrifying monster was born from this—the Plague Behemoth.

They are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, full of astonishing pollution and diseases, and very difficult to eradicate.

However, what they have to deal with is not the behemoth of the plague, but another kind of monster that is more hidden - the shit king.

"The shit king?"

Rhodes almost thought he had heard wrong.

And this kind of monster?Did it evolve from poop in the black mist?

"Rhode, pay attention to your attitude."

Horus' face was dull, and the decree lines on his face were like cracks in dead wood.

"At no time should monsters be underestimated."

"Maybe their names are strange, but the naming of any monster has principles. The melody that echoes in their souls is their most essential core, which can often be expressed in a certain ancient language. Translating them is the name The basic principles, with a little polish, lead to the names we see."

Rhodes refrained from curling his lips. If you want to say this, I can't understand it too well.

Which of my fires was not touched by you?

Night Breeze said with a serious expression: "Brother Rhodes, don't underestimate this monster. It is very cunning and vicious. It always hides in various corners that you can't see. It uses the giant plague beast to attract our attention. If you launch an attack, if you are caught off guard, you may be seriously injured."

The companion said with lingering fear: "Yes, Your Excellency Night Breeze is right. Amora hadn't reacted quickly and blocked the attack of the Shit King several times. We have already reduced our staff. Its instinct is far higher than that of the plague monster. It is a very rare monster with logical ability."

"Yes!" Another companion also said: "It is said that they are mutated from corpses in the sewers. Those corpses have been buried in endless dung piles for hundreds of thousands of years, so they have mastered the ability to control dung and obtained the most human beings. The darkest and filthiest side, they will never fight you head-on, and their instinct is to plot vilely."

"It poses a much greater threat to us than other monsters."

Rhodes frowned and asked, "Is Shit King... so strong?"

Horus replied: "Its absolute spiritual power is at the twelfth level, and it belongs to the second level in the level of strong super-order."

"Second gear?"

"Yes." Night Breeze explained: "The gap between strong super-level monsters is too great. Those who have not stepped into the king-level domain will be classified into this level no matter how strong they are."

"Because the gap is too large, in order to make it easier for us to distinguish, Wangcheng has drawn a new grade among them. The first grade is the monster that has just reached the strong super-level, with eleventh-level spiritual power, and the second grade is twelve-level spiritual power. , and so on."

"If the monster has some special attributes, such as source, some kind of special enhancement, sex change, advancement, etc., it will also be adjusted additionally."

Horus said in a deep voice: "The second level is not very strong among strong super-levels, and the twelve-level psionic power is not particularly high among monsters, but its actual threat, we set it at the fourth level."

That is, a monster whose psionic ability jumped two levels in a row, which is equivalent to a monster with fourteenth level psionic ability.

Rhodes frowned.

This gap is quite large. After the psionic ability exceeds level ten, the gap will become larger and larger at each level.

The difference in absolute spiritual power between the twelfth level and the fourteenth level is as much as 9 times.

Just a difference in instinct, can it make up for the 9 times gap in spiritual power?
Horus seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "The biggest reason we can defeat monsters is because monsters are irrational. They are the product of chaos and disorder, the destruction of viciousness and distortion. Apart from instinct, they do not obey any rules."

"When the corruption reaches an extremely deep level, the instincts gradually weaken, and only the hatred for fire remains. At that time, they will gradually fall into eternal silence, and will not wake up unless there is a threat to the black mist as a whole. .”

Rhode's expression remained unchanged, but he knew clearly in his heart, isn't this just a dream?

Horus continued: "Humans are different. The existence of human beings is a miracle. We have wisdom, ideas and glory. This is the difference between humans and monsters."

"We fight together, we develop targeted tactics and strategies, we use weapons, items and tools, and that's how we always defeat monsters that are much stronger than us."

"But if the monster also uses tactics and tricks, attacks when it is superior, escapes when it is disadvantaged, and uses the surrounding environment and factors, then its threat level will be greatly increased."

"This kind of improvement far exceeds the improvement of spiritual power."

Horus looked serious.

"Therefore, the investigative legion has listed the Shit King as one of the most threatening monsters on the battlefield outside the Starry Sky City. We must eliminate it, otherwise when the battle of the Starry Sky City begins, these insidious monsters will definitely attack us from behind."

It was only then that Rhodes realized that it turned out that the King of Shit was honored as one of the most threatening monsters by virtue of his old Lu's ability.

"I understand." Rhodes nodded seriously, "I won't take it lightly."

Afterwards, Night Breeze and his two companions explained the details of their battle in more detail.

Rhodes felt hairs on the back of his head.

In their words, these monsters are not like monsters at all, but rather insidious and cunning enemies. Attacking from behind is just a basic operation, and they will even attract giant plague beasts, and then launch attacks in battle.

Their final defeat was because the Shit King attracted a large group of giant plague beasts, and they were flanked back and forth in the chaos. If Amora hadn't torn open the hole and forcibly held back the monsters, they would have been in serious trouble.

"They..." Rhodes hesitated and asked, "Are they really without wisdom?"

"no!"

Horus firmly denied it.

Rhodes tentatively asked: "During such a long period of time, will there be any monsters that have evolved wisdom?"

"it's out of the question."

Horus stared directly at Rhodes, as if to pierce him.

"The nature of monsters determines that they will not have intelligence. Please remember that in any future battles, no matter what you encounter, no matter how real they are, monsters have no intelligence, no emotions, no speech, no communication, Without exception."

Rhodes looked at the archbishop in surprise, not understanding why he was so serious.

Night Breeze patted Rhodes' shoulder lightly, and said softly: "Some monsters will take advantage of the confusion in our souls to arouse our deepest desires, make us fall into hallucinations, hear voices we shouldn't hear, and see things we can't understand. It is a picture that we understand, but it is an illusion created by our soul being disturbed, so don't be fooled."

"Yes." Another person also said: "When you see an ancient god asking you if you need power, you know that this is an illusion, instead of agreeing to it, talk to it."

"As long as you remember this point, monsters will never have wisdom and cannot communicate. All hallucinations are produced by their own souls, and you can see through most traps!"

Rhodes understood immediately, and said with a smile: "I understand, you don't have to worry."

Night Breeze didn't seem relieved: "Brother Rhodes, don't be careless, the desire for power is very difficult to overcome. Many of our companions know this, but they are still tricked..."

"I will not."

Rhodes smiled happily.

"Whoever asks me about my desire for power, I will only tell him that I desire XX."

Rhodes continued the mission of the Plague Forest as a matter of course.

On the one hand, it is because Rhodes is really suitable for this task. His soul resistance is quite high, and he often fights in the sewer environment. Going to the Plague Forest is perfect. On the other hand, it is also because Horus really has no one else to use. up.

The situation on the battlefield outside the starry sky city continued to deteriorate. The concentration of the black mist rose by one level, the pollution increased greatly, more monsters woke up from the silence, and the cleanup work was becoming far away.

And the source of all this is the Sith giant brain, which is very cunning, hiding and fleeing in the material world and the spiritual world, and Rovia, the son of fire, is still chasing it.

The battlefield outside the starry sky city lacked the greatest support, but the situation became more serious. The investigation legion sent more than 60 threat reports, and the battles in various places were also full of dangers. The victory brought by Rhodes was just a drop in the bucket for the entire starry sky city battlefield. .

Horus was in a state of desperation, so he could only temporarily put aside the new threat, focus on the current battle, and continue to ask for help from the royal city.

Who else can bring me news of victory?

Horus looked at the foggy disk in front of him. There were many small light spots on the dark ground, and each light spot represented a battle.

Jessica, Tyro, Feixue...or Rhodes?
He held the fifteen Tears of the Goddess that Rhodes gave Yu with both hands, just like holding his son who had been born for hundreds of months.

Whoever it is, let such victories come a little more.

After obtaining the detailed information of the Plague Forest, Rhodes and Night Breeze set off.

As the black mist intensified, everyone carried double copies of red tearstones, equipped with twin spirit lamps, and more purification potions.

In this environment, monsters will also become especially powerful, and they must be more careful.

On the way, Night Breeze introduced his fighting style in more detail.

He ignited eleven fires, namely Eagle Eye, Mongoose, Condensed Air, Flash of Light, Sense of Balance, Sensitive Sense, Light Strike, Spirit Vision, Thunder Charge, Flying Fire, Spirit Storm, and Binding Spirit. Wire.

He has a soul weapon called Moonfall Bow, which he mainly uses to launch spiritual arrows in battle.

His fire gave him powerful eyesight, even if he couldn't see through the black mist, he could still lock onto monsters, as well as extraordinary agility and powerful spiritual power, as well as a variety of long-range attack methods and control methods.

Rhodes was envious when he heard it. When he asked Rhodes the name of the specific kindling, Rhodes refused to answer and only told him some functions.

Night Breeze sighed: "Your kindling is so strange. I can feel their power, but I have never heard of their existence. I have never seen similar records in the big library. The kindling you lit is all It's never been done before, maybe this is the new star."

Rhodes asked curiously, "How did you light the fire?"

Night Breeze looked at him with slightly surprised eyes.

"Are you different from us?"

Rhodes coughed: "It's not the same, I always ignite suddenly after a fierce battle."

Night Breeze sighed: "You are indeed a genius suitable for fighting. No wonder you don't know the conventional way to ignite the fire. We will find the fire hidden in the soul during meditation, and then take the fire potion to guide the fire of the soul. Ignite it, the process is very difficult, the more kindling the more difficult it is, many people need more than a few years to light a kindling."

"Yes, generally it is impossible to ignite more than ten fire seeds. Your Excellency Night Breeze is so amazing that he actually ignited eleven." Another combatant said. The perfect immortal body is a former warrior who is best at fighting monsters in the front.

Rhodes asked in surprise: "But Lord Alan lit twenty?"

A first-class combatant said with a smile: "Master Alan is of course different. He is a human hero who appears once in thousands of years." His name is Vito, and he is also a spiritual fire sequence. field control or support personnel.

At the level of high-level combatants, the number of fire bearers in the Spirit Fire Sequence overwhelmingly exceeds that of the Starfire Sequence. People like Rhodes, Night Breeze, and Alan are rare.

Night Breeze asked again: "Brother Rhodes, what means do you have to deal with the Shit King?"

Rigel and Vito both cast sparkling eyes. In their opinion, Rhodes must have special means if he is so confident.

Rhodes pondered for a few seconds. In fact, he had no means, but set off immediately when he heard that he had 10 points of divinity.

But now it seems that eliminating the shit kings is really not a simple matter. They are hidden in the shit piles of the plague forest, they have the ability to freely walk through the filth, and they can even change the environment and turn it into their own home field.

How to draw it out and eliminate it is a huge problem.

"Book."

Rhodes asked in his mind.

"Is there anything you can do?"

The Book of Knowledge was nervously manipulating the dream flight, and replied casually: "I don't know what kind of monster this is. I haven't seen it in my time."

Rhodes was taken aback: "Why?"

"Probably at that time, there was no practice of pooping in a swamp or something like that."

Well, the birth of the Shit King does require certain historical conditions.

Rhodes wasn't discouraged either. He was the man known as the King of Sewers, so he wouldn't be helpless against the monsters born in the excrement of the sewers.

Just as he was about to leave the dreamland, the doll suddenly said, "Master, I have a way."

Rhodes looked at it in surprise, and after hearing what the puppet said, his expression became very weird.

"Afro, is this really useful?"

The puppet replied affirmatively: "I think it is useful. From the description just now, the shit king's instinct is actually born from the dark side of human beings, and no one understands the dark side of human beings better than him."

"But, can Phantom of the Wind be used like this?"

"can."

"Ok."

Rhodes turned his head, and the Plague Forest had already appeared in his sight. It was a large swamp with no end in sight, filled with rotten black, and the rot that had been deposited for thousands of years floated in the forest like a haze. .

And those black lumps piled up like a mountain, people don't even want to know what they are.

But if you want to take the initiative to find the shit king, you can only drill inside.

Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

"Asa." Rhodes said in his mind: "It's your turn to play."

Beside the base of the obelisk, Asa, who was tinkering with something, suddenly turned around.

"what?"
