When Rhodes saw the 10-point divinity on Star Square shining with golden light and disappearing in the mist, he was sure that the shit king here had been eliminated.
The culprit responsible for the birth of the Shit King, thirteen soul motes containing power tracks of certain characteristics, were all captured by Asa.
Since then, all threats in the plague forest have been eliminated, and they will not reappear for a long time in the future.
Asa emerged from the filth, and Rhodes was surprised to find that the phantom was seriously damaged. The body was covered with bruises and one arm was broken. It seemed that Asa was not as relaxed as he said.
But the Phantom of the Wind proved that it is no longer a bubble that breaks at the touch of a touch. Judging from the extent of Asa's injuries, its strength is not low, and it can also share the damage for Rhodes. Several of the Shit King's sneak attacks were successful.
, but all the damage suffered was borne by Asa.
Haha!
Rhodes felt happy.
[Phantom of Wind] is really too strong, I must quantify the remaining three stars as soon as possible.
"Asa, good job."
Asa said arrogantly: "How is it? Have you seen how powerful the evil soul is? If it weren't for the betrayal of that broken book, you would never be able to defeat me. You are extremely lucky to have an ally like me now."
, light and shadow, good and evil, holiness and filth join forces, nothing in this world is our opponent. Of course, the black mist is still invincible. It is a higher-level existence, not something you and I can covet." p>
Rhodes was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. Although the Shit King had been wiped out, the current situation was very bad. They made too much noise and exploded hundreds of Shit Mountains. All the disease monsters in the entire Disease Forest went crazy. They must
Evacuate as soon as possible.
"Okay, you go back, I'm going to disband the phantom."
Asa did not leave immediately, but said coldly: "Heir to the throne of the gods, you must keep your promise and don't forget our covenant."
Rhodes said impatiently: "I know, I don't want to swallow the power of shit."
Asa snorted coldly.
"It sounds nice, but I have seen too many things that go back on your word. When you truly understand the power of swallowing shit, I'm afraid you will regret it."
Rhodes rolled his eyes and tried not to look at the countless filth around him to avoid spitting it out.
"I made a covenant with you in the name of the dream. This is my foundation. I will not regret it. Just go and get the power of the King of Shit."
Asa felt relieved, his expression improved, his tone softened, and he smiled gloomily.
"Great successor, you will not be disappointed. When I become the king of shit-swallowing, you will gain an extremely great ally. I will swallow all the powerful shit in the world and help you comfort that poor fire.
After you have experienced an irreversible failure of destiny, I will follow your fallen light, stand on the top of the world, and use shit to transform the world..."
"Okay, okay."
Rhodes directly disbanded the phantom and sent Asa's soul back to the dreamland.
At this moment, Yefeng and the other three could no longer hold back. The disease beasts were rushing in from all directions. Rigel at the front was trampled by dozens of disease beasts. The ground collapsed, covered in old rotten water and mud.
Vito released a stream of white smoke, reached into the mud pit like lightning, took out Rigel, and then jumped into the air and flew upwards.
A flash of light flashed under Ye Feng's feet, and then he stepped away into the air.
"Damn it, you should take me with you!"
But in the blink of an eye, they disappeared behind the black mist, and Rhodes had to run alone in the filthy mud.
Fortunately, he was fast and quickly got rid of the violent disease beast.
These unbeatable giant beasts stopped pursuing them after they stepped out of the Blight Forest, and gradually returned.
Rhodes stood in the distance, watching their returning figures, thinking that maybe this was the reason why they were not listed as a threat.
——Although the disease monsters are extremely difficult to deal with, they will not leave the disease forest and will not have any impact on the upcoming battle of Star City, so there is no need to clean them up.
However, after the battle, the feeling that the battlefield is still full of monsters is very unpleasant.
Rhodes looked at the disease forest that was no longer visible. There was only a rolling black mist and endless darkness, but he knew that there were still countless powerful monsters wandering in that filthy land.
The beast was so difficult to kill that Rhodes never saw the flaw in its soul.
The deep, slow spiritual energy seemed to have infinite depth, and he was not even sure if he could kill one one-on-one.
For the first time, Rhodes felt the terror of the endless darkness. Killing all the monsters seemed to be just a lie. The giant disease beast was far from the strongest monster, but it could make four top human beings helpless.
What about stronger monsters?
And what about the starry sky city where countless horrors lurk?
And what about the unknown dark existence that cracked open the Death Scar Canyon with one blow?
Rhodes withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. No matter what, he would continue on this path until he finally wins, or he will perish like his previous dream master.
There is no third option.
After returning to Star Ring Town, Rhodes discovered that Ye Feng and the others had already arrived and were waiting for him at the entrance of the town.
When Ye Feng saw him, he smiled and said, "Brother Rhodes, why are you so slow? If you don't show up, we will use the Mark of Fire to contact you."
Using the Mark of Fire to communicate has a cost, which is higher than regular instant psychic communication, so it is generally not used. Various types of crow messengers are still the most convenient and simple way to communicate. p>
Rhodes coughed and replied: "Running on the ground is always slower."
Vito and Rigel both looked shocked: "Aren't you going to miss it?"
Rhodes blinked: "What is Takong?"
"It's about releasing spiritual energy and stepping into the air while bearing weight. Every guardian can do it."
"I won't..."
As soon as Ye Feng's thoughts changed, he immediately understood the reason, coughed and said: "Brother Rhodes has just been promoted to guardian and has come to the battlefield. Many skills have not yet been mastered."
Only then did Vito and Rigel realize it, and Vito immediately apologized.
"Sorry, Lord Rhodes, I didn't know you couldn't fly... I pulled Rigel out and flew away. As you know, the disease beast has long-range attack capabilities, and we can't fly too high. High altitude
It's even more dangerous, so I can only leave the battlefield as soon as possible."
Vito's white smoke is indeed very fast, and the white light leaves the battlefield in a flash.
Rhodes smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm very fast, and your white smoke is used well. It's much better than a friend of mine who used it."
Vito looked very happy: "Really? My level of white smoke characteristics has only reached eight. I can only divide into three cantilever arms and eleven small arms. The fine hairs do not exceed a thousand. Because of this, even though my spirit is
You can reach the eleventh level, but you cannot become a guardian, you are just a first-level combatant."
This was the first time Rhodes had heard of such a thing, and he couldn't help but ask: "If the level of characteristics is less than nine, can't I become a guardian?"
"Yes, without the ninth-level characteristics, there is no hope of becoming the Herrscher, and naturally you cannot become the backup for the Son of Fire." Vito said regretfully: "Riger's psychic power has also reached the eleventh level.
But his immortal body characteristics are only at level seven, so he can only be regarded as having the combat power of a first-level combatant."
"Is there a stronger white smoke characteristic in the royal city?"
"The Knight of Smoke, his white smoke characteristics have reached level nine and a half, and he is only half a step away from mastering the source of the white smoke. It is said that he can branch out into twenty cantilevers, a hundred forearms, and countless fine hairs."
Vito's tone was full of admiration and regret.
"Who is the Knight of Smoke? Has he come to the starry sky to become a battlefield?"
Vito said softly: "Acat, the Knight of Smoke, was the most likely guardian to join the ranks of Herrschers ten years ago. But unfortunately, before he had time to perform the ritual of origin, he died in the Northern City under the long night.
He was seriously injured and his soul was severely corroded. He is still lying deep in the royal city. The Healing Order failed to remove the pollution from his soul and could only seal him in the coffin of white ice to delay the corruption of his soul."
Rhodes' heart moved. He wondered if the Tears of the Goddess could purify his pollution. Although the probability of success is not high, he can try it in the future. Maybe there will be a situation similar to Black Claw Amora?
After curing such a powerful person, he should have divinity, right?
"Okay."
Ye Feng interrupted the topic and asked seriously.
"Brother Rhodes, are you sure that all the shit kings have been eliminated?"
Rhodes replied affirmatively: "Absolutely sure."
"Based?"
"Intuition."
Ye Feng believed it instantly. Rhodes' intuition was also very famous. He had completed many incredible strategic arrangements in the royal city, which greatly reduced the pressure.
All three of them smiled instantly.
"I didn't know until now that the rumors about the black rice bucket were not watered down at all. Before cooperating with you, I was still not sure whether your miracle could be reproduced in the field of first-level combat power. But now, I want to fight for my
Not a firm apology."
"Sir Rhodes, you are indeed one of the most dazzling rising stars in recent years. I have a feeling that you may be qualified to rank alongside those figures in history and legend in the future."
Rhodes said humbly: "You are right."
Night Breeze sighed: "Legendary characters appear one after another, which makes me feel that there is a revival in Trolian. Maybe we can see the rise of mankind in our lifetime."
These words made the three of them feel excited. Rigel shouted: "For Trorian!" and rushed into Star Ring Town.
The three of them followed closely and returned to the center of Star Ring Town.
In the hall, Horus received another series of bad news, and apart from the wounded, there was no fighting force in Star Ring Town. Just when he was in a state of distress, Rhodes and Night Breeze opened the door and walked in. p>
Just looking at the smiles on their faces, you know the mission is accomplished.
But Horus still couldn't believe it. He glanced at his pocket watch. It was the first hour of evening time, and it was the third hour of morning time when they set off. In other words, they only used six hours.
, the task of cleaning up the disease forest was completed.
Horus opened the intelligence book given to him by the Survey Corps. On the third page, it showed that the threat of the Plague Forest was the highest and the estimated time was twenty-seven days. In other words, this mission was completed before the battle of Star City began.
The standard has been met.
And how long did it take them?
Six hours.
Horus couldn't believe it. It was impossible for the Guardian to escape from the mission without permission. There was only one answer, but even though he knew the result, he still couldn't help but ask: "Is the mission of cleaning up the Blight Forest completed?"
Night Breeze smiled and said: "Of course, Your Excellency Archbishop, we killed all the shit kings, and Rhodes used his senses to confirm that no one slipped through the net. We won. This impossible task was completed by us! It only took six
Time!"
Archbishop Horus has always treated people with a serious face, so he was often called a dry tree behind his back. But now, his face like a dead tree is completely cracked, and he is smiling like a tree demon who has become a spirit.
.
"Okay! Great! You are so good! Wangcheng will remember you a great contribution! Your names will definitely be written on the eternal stone tablet."
Ye Feng said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, we just did what we should do. The main credit goes to Rhodes, who found those cunning monsters that were deeply hidden."
Upon hearing these words, the Archbishop became uncharacteristically silent. He looked at Rhodes as if he were looking at a brand new person.
Ah, that's right.
It must be him.
Horus thought.
Whether it is the emotional mission of the Death Scar or the cleanup mission of the Blight Forest, he has participated.
What was originally a difficult task turned out to be a miracle in the blink of an eye.
I originally thought that after Rhodes reached the level of the Guardian, he would gradually become ordinary, just like many geniuses who passed by like meteors in the past.
But this time, I was wrong.
Horus was suddenly filled with confidence. So what if the battle encounters difficulties? What if the royal city cannot support it? Rovia, the Son of Fire, is not here, the Sith Brain has not been eliminated, the black fog continues to thicken, and more threats appear. p>
So what?
We still have hope.
Rhodes was a little confused by the look in Horus's eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, what's wrong? I'm in good condition and can continue to fight."
Horus's face suddenly turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Rhodes, don't overestimate your condition. It's a good thing to have self-confidence, but don't be blindly confident..."
While Rhodes was still in a daze, Ye Feng and the other two people had already started picking out their ears, stretching, and sorting out their equipment.
"Oh, it's better to have a stronghold. The light from the remaining fire is really warm."
"It's a pity that the guardian fire cannot be stationed here."
"What do you want to do? Once the guardian fire takes root, it is like a drop of water in hot oil. We will guard Star Ring Town alone!"
"Oops, my red tear stone is broken..."
Rigel took out the two red tear stones on his body, only to find that they had been broken into powder.
"You didn't break it when you were beaten, right?" Vito asked. Rigel's immortal body was extremely hard, and he was always at the front when fighting. At first, he was beating monsters, and then he was beaten.<
/p>
】
"This is impossible. I specially placed the red tear stone on the inside of my crotch. It won't break even if my balls are broken."
Rhodes smiled and said: "It really won't break."
Ye Feng felt very ashamed and decided to ignore this idiot, but he soon discovered that the red tear stones on him and Vito had also turned into pieces.
"How could this happen? We have only been out for a few hours..."
"It's black mist."
Horus said suddenly.
"The intensity of the black mist has exceeded a certain limit. As a creation of the power of fire, the red tear stones have reached their limit. When you return to the firelight of Star Ring Town, the erosion pressure disappears and they will break apart." Ye Feng's face became solemn: "Why did the intensity of the black mist become so high? Although Starry Sky City is far away, it is not yet in a very dark place?"
Horus said in a deep voice: "It's the Sith Brain. This is the black mist deposition it caused. Most of the current disasters come from it."
Night Breeze asked: "Why hasn't Master Rovia caught it yet?"
"The Sith Brain is very cunning. It is likely that it has made contact with the mastermind of the spiritual world... It is very difficult for Rovia to ensure that it cuts off the contact and at the same time captures it."
Horus's tone was very deep, but there was no despair.
"But I believe that the Sons of Fire will definitely find and kill the Sith Brain. What we have to do now is to fight with all our strength and eliminate all threats outside the Star City before the stars return."
He paused, looked at the fog plate on the long table, and continued.
"Rhodes, Night Breeze, Vito, and Rigel, you all set out immediately to support the Death Ridge battlefield. A strange change occurred there, and affected the Undead Passage from another direction. Jessica was unable to survive alone.
You go help her, that is our only connection with the royal city, and it must not be cut off."
Rhodes and Ye Feng replied at the same time: "Yes!"
At the same time, he also heard the shout of the book of knowledge in his mind: "20 points of divinity! Master, 20 points of divinity!"
Rhodes immediately felt at peace, as long as he had divinity, everything would be no problem.
Before leaving, Horus specially asked them to bring four red tear stones and added enough phlogiston to the two spiritual lamps to ensure that they would not be eroded by the black mist.
Rhodes and the others were all fine, but Rigel was very nervous and his walking posture was deformed.
"Rigel, what's the matter with you?" Night Breeze asked dissatisfied.
The big Rigel scratched the back of his head: "I can't adapt to the pace of four eggs."
Rhodes almost laughed, Ye Feng covered his face, feeling ashamed.
"Put the red tear stone in a normal place!"
Rigel replied with a grimace: "I'm not used to it!"
Ye Feng shouted: "You have to get used to it even if you don't get used to it. The situation now is special. We all fight in small teams. We don't have a lantern of fire for you."
Rigel had no choice but to turn around and search for a long time. Finally, he could walk normally.
Ye Feng didn't ask where he put the red tear stone, and set off immediately.
Horus was the only one left in the hall of Star Ring Town.
He stood in front of the remaining fire, watching the ever-changing flames, praying silently in his heart.
"May the Holy Fire bless Rhodes and every fire warrior."
