Facing Rhodes, who seemed to be able to see through his own true nature, the thief said in a deep voice, the murderous intent in him had subsided, and that was the sign before taking action. No senior assassin would be full of murderous intent when taking action, thus making the enemy's heart wander.
Be alert.
"There's no need to hide it. The materials you collected, such as dragon beard king, spider velvet, and phoenix tail feathers, are all materials for refining brain-eating insects." Rhodes replied unhurriedly, and the thief's reaction was also surprising.
It proved that Rhodes' guess was correct, he was indeed refining brain-eating insects.
Powerful legendary assassins are good at taking advantage of any easily overlooked place and have mastered the most sophisticated assassination methods. In addition to hidden weapons and poisons, they must also master the skills of close combat, the ability to teleport, and a large amount of occult knowledge.<

The brain-eating worm is an assassination tool in the hands of legendary thieves that focuses on sorcery. It is the most difficult to guard against and the most sinister evil thing among them.
As early as in the game of his previous life, Rhodes had heard of the existence of brain-eating worms. During the Doomsday War, a player used brain-eating worms to assassinate a certain Duke of Erathia, which attracted the attention of many people.
Rhodes is one of them and has collected detailed information about it.
The brain-eating worm is not a bug in the true sense. Its core is the dragon beard king, which is like green grass. After grinding the dragon beard king into powder, it is combined with many materials, and finally the phoenix tail feathers are used to give it strong vitality.
It is considered to be completely refined.
The completed brain-eating worm looks like a handful of finely divided transparent powder. After it is sown in the air, as long as it is inhaled by other creatures, the Dragon Beard King will drill into their brains along their nasal cavities, and inhabit their brains.
Roots are regenerated in the brain, and the roots of the dragon's whiskers are deeply rooted in the brain, absorbing the nutrients. Even if it is discovered, it is too late. In less than half a day, the entire brain can be completely sucked dry.
In the end, the Dragon Beard King, which has absorbed enough brains, will pierce the host's scalp, and the roots will emerge from the eye sockets or nostrils. Before that, the host will have completely lost its consciousness.
Even Rhodes, once he is attacked, has no choice but to enter the form of the dead. When the Dragon Beard King is deeply implanted in the brain, even if the skull is opened, it cannot be eradicated. He can only watch the brain shrink and die.
, and finally became the nourishment of the Dragon Beard King.
Brain-eating worms, this was Rhode's unexpected discovery during this trip. Unexpectedly, he met an assassin who could refine brain-eating worms at the Thieves Market.
Very few magicians conduct research on the brain, not because they dare not, but because these studies all end in failure. A little carelessness in the research will turn the experimental creatures into complete idiots.
Rhodes believes that even if Moriel is infected by the brain-eating bug, it cannot be eradicated. When her brain is destroyed, let’s see how she can still use the time domain.
However, after listening to Rhodes' proposal, the thief said nothing and was about to leave. Rhodes stopped him and asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't know what you are talking about. Since you don't want to trade, forget it. Now get out of the way." The thief said in a deep voice.
Rhodes put his hand on his forehead: "How could you not understand? This is my good intention. All the stall owners tell you that the phoenix disappeared hundreds of years ago. Maybe the one in my hand is the only one left in the world.
If you refuse, where else can you get a phoenix tail feather? One phoenix tail feather is enough for you to refine a large brain-eating worm, and I only want a part of it."
Rhodes recalled that due to the scarcity of phoenix tail feathers, the brain-eating insect was extremely difficult to refine. Even though its refining materials had been spread in previous lives, not many people were qualified to refine it.
Rhodes was able to obtain the phoenix tail feathers, thanks to the exploration of the Candy Plane. In the magic ritual left by the mage god Gwen, Rhodes found these remaining ritual materials, which can be put to use now.
However, the thief remained indifferent to Rhode's trade request and seemed to have made up his mind to ignore Rhode.
"What a pity. I still plan to save some favor for Sally..." Rhodes whispered, and an irregular sword blade appeared in his hand.
"This weapon! You are..." The thief's pupils shrank, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. At this moment, he recognized the identity of the person in front of him, but it seemed that it was too late.
Rhodes' body swayed, and a figure that looked exactly like him split out of his body and rushed straight towards the thief. The short-distance sprint was much faster than the teleportation of casting preparations and retractions. The thief even
Before he could react, he saw the dazzling light spreading rapidly in front of his eyes, and the surging electric current engulfed his figure. His skin was quickly burned, his flesh and blood flew away, and after a short period of pain, there was eternal darkness.
A strong explosion spread from the alley, overturning nearby houses, destroying the streets nearby, and blasting a deep pit into the ground. Many thieves who were slow to react were trapped under the building, and some were caught in the explosion.
There were no bones left in the center. The thieves nearby looked at this scene in horror and raised their weapons one after another.
After the smoke and dust dispersed, Rhodes put down the cloak in front of him. What reassured him was that the strong impact caused by the explosion did not mess up his hair. The protection of the Electric God Pendant also prevented his hair from becoming like a hedgehog due to static electricity.
Stand up.
Rhodes walked to the place where the thief died, and suffered a mirror self-destruction in front of him. His charred corpse was scattered in all directions, and it was impossible to piece together a single intact piece. Rhodes snapped his fingers, and the nearby bone fragments trembled and gradually moved towards Rhodes.
Gathering together, the disappeared souls are returning bit by bit, and flesh and blood are reborn.
Rhodes gave his kindness to the thief and did not kill him immediately because he was the leader of the thief, but the thief did not cherish it at all. In this case, Rhodes could only give him another big gift, then
It is death.
"Huh?"
However, looking at the thief who had recovered his body in the realm of death, Rhodes frowned slowly. He was a little different from what he thought, or it would be more accurate to describe him as her.
Under the bombardment of the ultimate lightning, whether it was the clothes on her body, the treasures she carried, or the space ring, they all disappeared in an instant, leaving nothing behind. The materials for refining the brain-eating worm were swept into the space turbulence.
I'm afraid she needs to collect it again. Fortunately, the phoenix tail feathers in Rhodes' hands were not damaged. As for the other materials, they can be collected smoothly as long as they take some time.
While Rhodes was thinking, he took out a large black robe from the space ring and threw it towards the resurrected thief. However, the thief's next words made Rhodes' complexion change slightly.
