Chapter 1,648 Lurking

 In the woods outside Moth City, Rhodes waited quietly without any anxiety in his heart.

What made Rhodes a little relieved was that after coming to the illusion, his body, which was always hungry, was relieved because he was no longer affected by the Gluttony Contract. He no longer felt real hunger, which also saved Rhodes a lot of money.

Trouble.

For some reason, when he came to the illusion, Rhodes felt a little itchy on his left shoulder. Looking down, he saw that the pustules that had grown after receiving the inheritance were even more swollen, as if something was about to change.

It's a pity that Rhodes doesn't know how to use this unique ability, or extra power. The information about the inheritance mission has not been completely revealed until now. Perhaps only as Rhodes' body size further improves, the pustules

Only then will the power be revealed.

In the illusion, Rhodes has no sense of hunger. No matter how much food he eats, his attributes cannot be improved like the outside world. This also makes Rhodes feel a pity.

Shaking his head, there were still a large number of demon corpses outside the magic shipyard. Unfortunately, with Rhodes' current strength, he could not defeat Anyaveli who had those demon corpses. Maybe he could only wait until he completed this trial before thinking about it.

Other ways.

He was just sitting in the bushes, thinking about the situation of this trial, and observing the people outside the city. Not long after, while Rhodes was observing, the crowd outside the city suddenly grew larger.

People gathered in the open space outside the city and were talking quietly. Judging from their clothes, they were just ordinary civilians. According to Rhode's previous observations, there should be a small wooden frame where these civilians gathered.<

/p>

The abnormal changes that occurred in front of him immediately attracted Rhodes' attention. Regardless of the danger of being discovered, he came to the edge of the bush and took cover to observe carefully.

Fortunately, at this time, the attention of nearby civilians was all attracted by the wooden frame they surrounded. Rhodes, who was hiding by the bushes, was inconspicuous and was not discovered by these people.

Waiting for a moment among the trees in the forest, he saw that more and more civilians were gathering there, and the guards at the city gate were also lax. Rhodes just had the idea of ​​taking this opportunity to enter Moth City, but he stopped his actions.<

/p>

Following the words of a luxuriously dressed old man in the crowd, bursts of black smoke soon rose from the wooden frame in the center. Under the ignition of several guards, a raging flame ignited below the wooden frame.

Only now did Rhodes notice that a human had been tied up in the wooden frame at some point. Surrounded by the crowd, Rhodes had not noticed it before due to the distance.

Without the blessing of Eagle Eye, Rhodes' field of vision is extremely limited, and the things he can observe are the same as other creatures.

No matter how the basic attributes of the body are improved, it cannot affect the observation field of vision. Only a few treasures and the existence of Eagle Eye can help with this.

Also due to the distance, Rhodes couldn't hear the old man's words clearly. He didn't understand why those people burned the man among them, but it probably had something to do with the heretics mentioned in the mission introduction.

Burning pagans to death was a punishment used in ancient Erathia. In Erathia's most glorious era, both necromancers and pagans would tremble with fear at the mention of this punishment. Unfortunately, with the rise of Erathia,

The glory was gone, the power of the mage was gradually revealed in the world, and this punishment was also forgotten.

Rhodes did not expect that he could see this special punishment again in the illusion at this time, and this also means that the illusion is likely to be the most glorious era of Erathia.

In addition to the creatures about to be burned to death, Rhodes noticed the defensive force on the edge of the wooden frame.

On the periphery of the crowd, there are many well-equipped Crusaders wearing full-body armor, who have already taken the strictest protection. In addition, even among the civilians, there are a few secret sentries who hide their identities and are constantly communicating with their eyes.

This discovery immediately made Rhodes realize something.

To be burned to death by nearby humans, the person in the wooden frame is most likely a heretic, the sinner who asked Rhodes to complete his mission.

But at this time, Rhodes did not dare to approach the heretic. Judging from the surrounding situations, the purpose of dragging the heretic outside the city for execution was not just to burn him to death, but to

Lure out other pagan accomplices hiding in the shadows.

After discovering this, Rhodes calmed down and observed in the forest with peace of mind.

There was plenty of time to complete the mission. There was no need for him to take such a big risk when the mission had just begun and no useful information had yet been collected.

The black smoke became thicker and thicker, and the man on the wooden frame struggled violently, but it seemed to be useless. The flames had already reached the man's ankles, but Rhodes was always waiting quietly.

At this moment, he seemed to have discovered something, and Rhodes was overjoyed. A sudden commotion broke out among the crowd, and the commotion came from several dark red-skinned creatures.

Seeing that the man was about to be burned to death, several nearby civilians stopped pretending. After the human skin cracked, the dark red body underneath was revealed, which was a sign of the devil.

Rhodes is very familiar with this form of demons, they are the abyss demons.

The appearance of the demons caused the crowd to flee, and some even fled in the direction of Rhodes. After discovering these demons, the Crusaders outside the field immediately rushed forward with weapons, relying on their numerical advantage and the strength in their hands.

The sharp blade instantly put these demons at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, the purpose of these demons' appearance was not to eliminate the nearby Crusaders. With their strength, they could not do this. The reason why they chose to reveal their identities was to rescue the man on the wooden frame.

Under the combined force of the abyss demons, the wooden frame in the field fell aside. These demons resisted the burning of the flames and released the man on the wooden frame.

In the bushes on the side, after Rhodes casually dealt with a few humans who might have discovered him, his expression suddenly changed, and he felt a powerful aura approaching.

According to Rhodes' estimation, the strength corresponding to this aura should have reached the level of high-level creatures, and is only one step away from legendary creatures.

If it were his own body here, Rhodes would naturally not be afraid, but for him now, even the previous high-level demons would be difficult to defeat, let alone such high-level creatures that are about to enter the legendary level.
Unexpectedly, a creature of this level would appear in the Sin Karma Trial, and he didn't know how many high-level creatures would follow, which also made Rhodes vigilant.
