Chapter 2 Skeleton Soldiers

Rhodes observed the terrain and found that it was a strip-shaped space with obvious passages in front and back. The passage on one side was where the roar was heard before. The passage was relatively long and narrow, and the passage on the other side was

There is only a little bright light, which is not as good as the fluorescence in this long space.

"Since the richer the death energy, the faster it transforms undead creatures, these corpses should be placed closest to the main tomb here. Then, this should be the place closest to the tomb in the tomb."

"The apprentice will definitely place some of the undead in the passage as guards. The side where the roar comes from is the passage, and the other side leads to the main tomb. The necromancer will definitely not think that anyone can bypass the guards of the passage and enter directly.

There should be no danger in the main tomb chamber."

"Let's go to the tomb to see if there are any supplies first. After all, you can't deal with the undead in the passage with your hands."

As soon as he thought of this, Rhodes took action, carefully crossing over the corpses displayed at his feet, and walked slowly into the tomb.

With the help of the dim light inside the tomb, Rhodes observed the situation inside the tomb. There were a large amount of materials piled on both sides of the tomb, including some valuable items looted from the village, which was enough for one person to eat dry food for half a month.

, there are also several sets of worn leather armor, and there are several rusty iron swords stacked in the corner, which should be used to arm undead creatures.

There was an intact coffin placed at the end of the tomb. Although I did not observe it carefully, the death energy it exuded represented that a mid-to-high-level undead creature was sleeping inside.

Seeing this, Rhodes stepped forward to select and put on a set of leather armor that looked relatively intact, and then selected a relatively complete iron sword from the corner. Although he did not read the system's evaluation carefully, based on the ratings of these items,

In terms of appearance, Rhodes also knew that their attributes were not very good.

…………

[shabby leather armor]

Equipment requirements: None

Basic attributes: Armor 3, Durability 13/20

Comment: Instead of placing your hope on it, it is better to place your hope on your body.

…………

【Rusty Iron Sword】

Equipment requirements: None

Basic attributes: kill 3, durability 4/10

Comments: The iron sword has been kept for who knows how long. It has been well maintained and can still fight for you for a period of time.

…………

Putting on the best equipment under the current circumstances, Rhodes was ready to take action. According to Rhodes' guess, since the attribute panel is still there and various equipment can still display attributes, the way to obtain experience points is also different.

There will be a lot of changes.

Putting on his equipment, Rhodes returned to the place where the corpses were previously displayed, and then slowly moved toward the passage outside the tomb.

Arriving at the passage, Rhodes observed the terrain and found that the road suddenly changed from empty to long and narrow. In this case, this was undoubtedly good news, as it meant that Rhodes did not have to face more than one enemy at the same time.

Continuing to move forward slowly, Rhodes could clearly hear some meaningless roars. Rhodes concentrated, clenched his weapon, and looked into the darkness in the passage.

Rhodes was sure that the first enemy he would face was a skeleton soldier. Although he had not seen the enemy in full, the skeleton body undoubtedly revealed its identity.

Skeleton soldiers are low-level undead creatures. Their attributes are slightly higher than those of adult men except for their physical constitution. They only retain the most basic combat awareness. Without the control of a necromancer, they cannot defeat well-trained swordsmen. On a larger battlefield

It can only be used to consume the enemy's physical strength, and together with the zombies, they are called the two cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Player forums have been debating who is the rubbish undead creature, skeletons or walking zombies, but these are of no use to the current Rhodes, because Rhodes' body is still developing, and its own attributes are not even comparable to

Average for adult men.

"Can we just fight hard..."

Rhodes sighed. If he wanted to kill the skeleton soldier, unless he beheaded him, he could only consume all the energy of the Undead Fire by causing damage, which is commonly known as depleting his health points.

Since he didn't know the number of enemies behind the passage and the necromancers he might face, Rhodes obviously didn't want to get too entangled with the skeleton soldiers in front of him. With slightly poor attributes, he could only find a way to behead them.

Putting one's life entirely on fighting skills is actually a very disadvantageous choice. If there were other better choices, Rhodes would definitely not choose to beheaded by force. In a battle, he can get attributes and

Other advantages are much easier.

The main reason is that the basic attributes of this body are too poor. If it were the attributes of a normal adult man, Rhodes would be confident that he could use his fighting skills to kill the skeleton soldiers. However, Rhodes would not complain, after all, the battle still had to be fought.

, it just needs to be done in a different way.

Rhodes' thinking on the spot wasted some time. No one knows what will happen when the Necromancer Apprentice returns.

Thinking of this, Rhodes looked around at his feet, then bent down and picked up a stone the size of an egg, and then slammed it towards the skeleton soldiers in front of him.

Due to poor lighting and low attributes, the stone did not hit the skull of the skeleton soldier as Rhodes thought, but hit the skeleton soldier's sternum. The impact of the stone made the skeleton soldier take two steps back.

The characteristics of the undead creatures prevented the skeleton soldiers from being surprised by the sudden attack. Instead, after steadying their steps, they directly raised their swords and rushed towards Rhodes.

The skeleton soldier rushed in front of Rhodes, and then slashed at Rhodes with his sword.

Logically speaking, in order to deal with the Skeleton Soldier's impactful offensive, Rhodes should retreat and parry while looking for opportunities to counterattack, but Rhodes did not do this. Instead, he faced the Skeleton Soldier's attack just as it was about to arrive.

The sword in his hand thrust upwards sharply, while his body bent diagonally in an unnatural posture.

If someone is watching at this moment, they will definitely find that it is not so much that Rhodes' sword stabbed the skeleton soldier's cervical vertebra when the arm's strength was at its maximum, but rather that the skeleton soldier took the initiative to use his cervical vertebrae to meet Rhodes' thrust.

He went up, and Rhodes' body cleverly avoided the skeleton soldier's attack by a slight margin.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, a skull fell to the ground, and the soul fire in the skull slowly extinguished. At this time, Rhodes collapsed from exhaustion and rested against the wall to calm his violent heartbeat.

Although the previous battle was extremely short, and the winner was determined in just one moment, it caused a great deal of consumption, especially the mental loss.

It seemed that Rhodes simply drew his sword and killed the skeleton soldier, but there was great danger involved.

The first is the timing of the shot. If the timing is wrong and the sword does not hit or hits but fails to kill the skeleton soldier, then there will be no way to dodge the next attack on the skeleton soldier and you will only be injured. Secondly, after killing the skeleton soldier

Avoiding its original attack consumes even more energy.

I don't know if it was due to mental exhaustion, but Rhodes felt that his physical strength was also consumed a lot.
