Everyone has already suspected it, but their sight distance is far inferior to Rhodes, and they cannot see the scene in the distance.
It wasn't until Rhodes said it that they realized that there was probably a cemetery beneath their feet where these ancient humans were buried.
After knocking down a starry knight with complex patterns and gorgeous armor again, Ironbeard carefully observed its state before it turned into ashes, and said solemnly: "This is a corpse that was awakened."
"Awakened?" Rhode frowned: "You mean, they were corpses before they became monsters?"
"Yes!"
"How is this possible?" A soldier asked in surprise: "Unless it is specially preserved, the corpse will soon be eroded by the black mist in the outside world and twisted into an inhuman monster."
Iron Beard shook his head slightly: "Some corpses are very special. There is some kind of power in their bodies that competes with the black mist and prevents them from completely turning into monsters. Strictly speaking, they are not corpses, but are in a critical state between corpses and monsters." Taylor swung the giant sword, shaking off the dirt and debris on the sword, and said solemnly: "I can feel the twisted power, it affects the entire forest, and the black mist in the entire area is gathering here."<
/p>
Xing Ge blinked his big eyes and asked curiously: "Brother Taylor, what kind of monster is that?"
Taylor shook his head slightly: "It's not a monster."
"Not a monster? What is that?" Xing Ge asked in surprise.
No one answered, only Tiexu said something.
"Xingge, put out the fire for now."
Xing Ge obediently put away the fire.
Dark fog shrouded.
Everyone followed Taylor forward silently.
Rhodes was thoughtful. When he was in Storm Castle, he felt that everyone's tone did not seem to be discussing a powerful monster.
It seems that this operation is fundamentally different from the Trident River area.
The black mist gradually thickened. Except for Rhodes, everyone could only see a blurry red shadow. The edges of the shadow were stained with black. The protection of the red tear stone could no longer withstand the erosion of such a thick black mist.
.
Everyone felt that their souls were suppressed, and their spiritual energy became sticky and stiff, making it difficult to mobilize.
The Living Corpse Knight is more powerful, faster, stronger, and has tougher psychic defense.
However, since the fire was extinguished, they encountered fewer zombie knights, and the pressure was actually relieved.
Ironbeard kept taking out the Silence Rune, crushing it and scattering it on the ground, further reducing the noise of everyone's fighting.
The Living Corpse Knight cannot find its target and can only wander aimlessly.
Rhodes' spiritual vision and Taylor's perception guided the direction, avoiding enemies as much as possible, especially the zombie knight captain.
In this way, the team quickly approached the twisted darkness.
Soon, not only Taylor, but everyone felt the abnormal existence. In the perception of the soul, it was a cold dead silence, like some kind of bottomless hole, twisted, chaotic, full of enemies of the living.
Malice.
"What is this?" a soldier asked in shock.
Tie Xiu's face was gloomy, as if he had seen some worst possibility.
"This is a dark vision."
"Dark Vision?"
"Yes, there is a certain distortion phenomenon that appears in the dark world. Its appearance means that this area is sliding further into the dark abyss. The pollution, erosion, distortion, and corruption here will become more serious, the black fog will become thicker, and the dark
The stronger the power, the more the power of fire is suppressed, and the light is gradually excluded from the rules."
Tie Xiu paused and his tone became heavier.
"It will accelerate the birth of monsters in this area, which is why so many giant terrors appear, and that is why they launch an attack on Storm Castle - all beings born from the black mist will instinctively destroy things that prevent the corruption, and will
Fire and light repel their range."
The entire team fell silent, and a creepy feeling spread among the soldiers. Xinge tightened his sleeves and hid beside him quietly.
Rhodes touched her little head, and the latter responded with a sweet smile.
"Then can we destroy it?" a soldier asked.
"Of course."
Taylor stood on his sword with one hand and looked into the distance. Powerful spiritual energy shone on him, and the bright light flowed along his body, making him look extremely powerful, like an unparalleled powerful warrior, which made everyone feel uneasy.
I have settled down a little bit.
"The distorted dark phenomenon does not appear for no reason. Under normal circumstances, there is a source that causes it. As long as we eliminate the source, it is possible to eliminate the phenomenon and return the area to its previous state."
A soldier asked: "What should we do?"
Taylor glanced behind Rhodes and said solemnly: "This point depends on His Highness."
Xing Ge cautiously poked his head out and asked crisply: "Brother Taylor, what should I do?"
"Is your protective fire still with you?"
"Yeah."
"Take it out."
Xing Ge held up her hands, and a bright fire flew out from the center of her heart.
The moment it appeared, the fire dispelled the black mist, and the golden brilliance tore through the darkness like a sharp blade. Everyone's hearts were shaken, and a warm feeling surged up, dispelling the coldness and uneasiness hidden in their hearts.<
/p>
But it also alarmed the Living Corpse Knight. Four powerful spiritual energies burst out instantly, and four black shadows crashed into the fire.
But in the next moment, a huge white light flashed through the air, and a huge sword with a length of at least three yards slashed down across the air. The powerful whistling sound was like overwhelming the river, and the four living corpse knights were killed with a huge force.
It was broken into two pieces, and the white light flying out from the sword tore the eight body parts into pieces.
"Ah!"
Rhodes screamed in pain, as if he saw his wife being thrown into the recycling bin.
Taylor looked at him strangely, turned to Xinge and said: "Put away the power of fire and don't disturb the monsters."
Xing Ge did as he was told, the fire shrank, the golden glow rolled back like an ebbing tide, and the black mist swept in, covering everyone again.
A small firelight held in the heart of the star singer, illuminating her pure white face like a white flower, making everyone feel that the terror of darkness was far away from them.
Taylor said: "Let the fire take root."
Letting fire take root is generally a prerequisite for establishing a human settlement. Once the guardian fire takes root, its power will penetrate from the material world into the sea of origin. The field of fire will gradually expand, completely changing this area and becoming
A place suitable for human survival.
However, it usually takes 3 to 7 days for fire to take root, and the black forest is not suitable for human settlements.
Xing Ge looked at him with questioning eyes.
Taylor said in a deep voice: "The fire of guardianship takes root here. The power of fire will penetrate deep into the bottom of the world, disrupting and destroying the erosion of the power of the black mist. The distorted dark vision will fiercely confront the fire, and we will be able to take the opportunity to find it."
The flaw, and then eliminate its cause."
The soldiers looked at each other and felt that this method was feasible. Wouldn't the twisted dark vision be destroyed by fire?
But Ironbeard frowned and said in a deep voice: "Taylor, if we do this, we will be besieged by monsters in the entire area."
Taylor nodded: "Uncle Ironbeard, don't worry, there are two rising stars of humanity here, we will withstand them."
Iron Beard knew that Xinxing's combat effectiveness could not simply be measured by combat level or psychic level, so he nodded: "Xingge, let's get started."
Xingge said crisply: "Okay, Uncle Tiexu!"
She closed her eyes and gently pressed her little hands on both sides of the flame. A few sparks slowly scattered down and disappeared into the ground.
There was an illusory roar in everyone's ears, like some kind of boulder falling on the bottom of the empty valley, and the lingering vibrations were endless.
In the perception of the soul, the cold deathly silence boils, and malice pours out like boiling steam.
Taylor shouted: "Here we come!"
In Rhode's sight, the wandering living corpse knights seemed to be alarmed by something. They turned their heads at the same time and rushed towards them.
"At one o'clock, there are nine! At six o'clock, there are twelve, and three of them are elite knights! At ten o'clock, there are sixteen, six elite knights, and two captains!"
Rhodes reported the point quickly.
He has now roughly figured out the strength gap between the living corpse knights. Ordinary knights are about the level of vicious high-level monsters, while elite knights are strong beginners. The few he met alone before were all elite knights, including the captain of the Starry Knights.
It is a strong mid-level.
Because they are fallen ones, they were powerful warriors in life, and their actual combat power is one level higher than their rank.
Taylor smiled and said: "It is different to have people with complete psychic vision in the team. Perception cannot replace spiritual vision."
He is currently fully psychic, but not fully aware. Some things still need to be detected by teammates.
As the commander, Tiexu quickly assigned the team and said: "No one is allowed to pursue you deeply. Protecting His Highness Xingge is the first priority..."
Before he finished speaking, the living corpse knight had already shown his face.
Iron Beard gave a low shout and stepped forward to stop the three elites.
The soldiers also responded, and the battle began instantly. Taylor held a giant sword in his hand, standing alone at the ten o'clock direction. Powerful psychic energy flowed through him, and the giant sword emitted a strong white light. He ran rampant among the monsters.
, nothing can stop him, and with every flash of light, several knights will turn into ashes.
In the entire team, Rhodes was the only one with a long range. He stood next to Xing Ge, with a star shuttle condensed on his fingertips. When he saw a zombie knight who was dying, he fired the star shuttle out.
In most cases, Rhodes can steal souls with his superb skills, with the exception of Taylor.
When he struck down with the sword, his whole body was shattered, and he couldn't get the final blow.
What the hell!
I will never let this guy join my Black War Group in the future, he is a real cancer.
Not long after, Rhodes suddenly shouted: "Here we go again!"
In the distance, at least thirty more zombie knights rushed toward them.
Rhodes quickly reported the location, while Ironbeard adjusted the team as quickly as possible.
The battle continued, and about a quarter of an hour later, Rhodes shouted again: "Here we go again! Lots of them!"
This time there were at least fifty, including seven zombie knight captains.
The battle became difficult, and the zombie knights continued to crawl out from under the soil. There were more and more enemies. The soldiers could no longer hold on, and some began to lose their fortune.
Rhodes was hesitating whether to use his trump card when he suddenly saw a very strong light from the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Taylor. His whole body was emitting a very strong white light, and his hands, feet, and limbs turned into white light. His whole body
They were all shrouded in white light and seemed to have expanded several times, just like warriors of light.
Boom!
When he waved his giant sword, it made a terrifying roar, and the huge light blade swept across, cutting all the zombie knights it touched into pieces.
Rhodes was shocked: "What the hell is this?"
Xing Ge half opened his eyes and glanced at him secretly: "What the hell? This is Brother Taylor's giant of light. His characteristic is the power of light, and he can use light to kill enemies."
"Giant of Light?" Rhodes was immediately attracted by Xing Ge's words.
"Yes." Xing Ge squinted his eyes, revealing his cute little tiger teeth, "Brother Taylor has completely mastered psionic transformation. He can turn himself into a ball of light. The Giant of Light is him who expands the light and turns it into a ball of light."
The form is one of his special skills, it is very, very powerful."
Rhodes was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Seeing the giant of light killing indiscriminately among the zombie knights, he couldn't get a single soul and was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
"But why did his sword become bigger?"
Xingge smiled and said: "Brother Taylor's giant sword is his soul weapon, equivalent to part of his soul."
Okay.
I announce that you are on my blacklist.
Rhodes sighed inwardly.
Although you are the pillar of mankind, you are my worst teammate.
After the Giant of Light appeared, the battle pressure suddenly dropped drastically. The warriors except Rhodes were all excited and their faces were red.
Iron Beard sighed: "As expected of the legendary great sword Taylor, he only used half of his giant light form to block the zombie knight."
"Too strong!" A soldier said in a tone full of admiration: "No wonder Lord Taylor is called 'Little Alan'."
"When did I become so strong?"
"Stop dreaming, that is a genius we meet once in hundreds of years, a new star of mankind."
Amidst the noise, the fighting is still going on, but there is not much pressure on them.
In the perception of the soul, the seething malice that distorts the dark vision has not diminished. The iron beard prohibits anyone from approaching the solidified darkness, waiting for it to reveal the flaw that Taylor said.
The rooting of the fire is in progress, and a pale yellow shell gradually appears in the star singer. When the shell completely covers the fire, the rooting of the fire is completed.
The situation looked great, but Rhodes always felt that something was wrong.
Looking around, there was nothing unusual.
Is it an illusion?
Rhodes thought, but the vigilance engraved in his soul made him raise his head.
This time, he immediately realized something was wrong, and a huge shadow covered them.
"What is that?" Rhodes shouted.
Tie Xiu looked up and his face suddenly fell: "Oh no! Let's get out of here!"
"It's too late!" Taylor said in a deep voice: "The fire is taking root. If it is interrupted now, we can only start again in the next solar period."
"But, this..."
Before he finished speaking, countless black dust flew from all directions, and the killed zombie knights were resurrected one after another.
Iron Beard's face is extremely ugly. This is the mark of darkness, one of the known distortions in the dark world.
In this area, killed monsters will not return to their source, but will regroup and be resurrected.
In Trorian, it is known as one of the most troublesome twisted dark phenomena.
No one wants to fight in it.
And they had just killed many zombie knights, and now they were all resurrected, and the situation was instantly reversed.
Iron Beard gritted his teeth.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a soldier shouted: "Commander, why is it so empty over there?"
