Chapter 22 Vampires 2

As early as when the iron-clad walking corpse in the tomb was bitten by the bat, Rhodes stepped into the back hall first, and began to control the walking corpse stationed here, igniting the second barrier.

This hall was where Rhodes first woke up. Due to the spaciousness of the hall, it was impossible to set the entire ground on fire. Rhode's focus is still on the rear, close to the tomb passage.

At this time, the entire rear is already a sea of ​​fire, and the passage is blocked by the ignited barrier. In front of the barrier, there is still an iron-clad walking corpse, holding a shield, facing the vampire rushing through the sea of ​​​​fire...

…………

"Cough, cough..."

Wake up from the tomb, kill the undead creatures all the way out of the tomb, and then lure the wolves back to the tomb to fight. Rhodes can be said to be very familiar with the passages in the entire tomb.

Therefore, Rhodes has selected several locations that are most suitable for creating flame barriers. One is at the entrance to the tomb where the coffin was. One is at the junction of the hall where the corpse is displayed and the passage to the tomb. One is in the narrow part of the tomb passage. One is at the exit of the tomb.

According to Rhodes' original idea, he would be in front of the vampire, and whenever the vampire passed a barrier, he would let the walking corpses at the next barrier ignite the flames.

However, the burning of the wood filled the entire tomb with smoke. The thick smoke made it difficult for Rhodes to observe things around him, and made Rhodes cough violently, making his body extremely uncomfortable.

Unlike undead creatures, the smoke produced by igniting wood may have little effect on undead creatures, but for Rhodes with a human body, this smoke is deadly.

Rhodes could only change his approach. When the vampire was blocked by the second barrier, he quickly retreated toward the outside of the tomb, and in the process of retreating, let the walking corpses set the barrier on fire.

After exiting the entire tomb passage, Rhodes stood on the ground, and the corpse wolves were waiting around. Looking at the thick smoke rising from the exit, Rhode recalled what he first saw in the tomb.

In itself, Rhodes was not surprised that the barrier was broken. Rhodes knew that there was no way to trap the vampire in the tomb by relying on a barrier, and instead arranged multiple barriers. What surprised Rhodes was the speed at which the vampire broke through the barrier.

When these barriers were first laid out, Rhodes could not determine the type of undead creatures in the coffin. Rhodes had a few guesses about which undead creatures were sleeping.

The first thing Rhode thought of was the third-order ghost. In Diya, ghosts slumber in most of the tombs. Necromancers can transform undead creatures with the power of ghosts, and at the same time can accelerate the advancement of ghosts, which is a mutually beneficial relationship.

Except for the ghosts, the remaining possibilities are much smaller, only corpse witches and vampires. Among these undead creatures, as long as the rank exceeds the third rank, it is not directly controllable by the spiritual imprint.

No matter which undead creature is in the coffin, Rhode believes that with the barrier he has arranged, and the corpse is dragging it with his life, he can hold on for a while, and the flames can burn it.

However, since the vampires are sleeping in the tomb, the vampires focus on survivability, and the bat transformation skills it has directly make the barrier much less effective. Through this skill, the vampire only needs to deal with the armored walking corpse in front, and then he can quickly cross the barrier.

If it were not a vampire, but a creature like a ghost, it would never have passed through the barrier so easily.

The barrier installed by Rhodes obviously did not cause any damage to the vampire. The flame did not have the effect Rhodes imagined, but only made the vampire use the bat a few more times.

However, even if the vampires use the bat a few more times, Rhodes' purpose of making these arrangements has been achieved. The more times the vampire uses the bat, the more certain that Rhodes can defeat the vampire, is improved.

From the very beginning, Rhodes did not intend to use these arrangements to kill the sleeping undead creatures in the tomb, but just wanted to weaken its strength as much as possible.

The third-order undead creatures are not so easy to kill easily.

Even if it is a ghost, although it does not have the strong survivability of a vampire, it can still break through by virtue of its physical fitness and undead characteristics. For Rhodes, the real battle is still on the ground.

Rhode made these arrangements just to give himself a big enough advantage in the next battle. It is undoubtedly the most stupid way to directly open the coffin to fight.

Anyone knows how to give themselves an advantage before a fight, whether it's trapping, poisoning weapons, sneak attacks, or something else. Any action you make, even if you can only gain a slight advantage, can tilt the scale of victory in your favor, which is better than a direct confrontation.

"How many times can you bat?"

Feeling the dissipation of the walking corpse mark in front of the third barrier, Rhode whispered.

As for vampires, Rhodes knows a lot about vampires because of his previous experience of fighting. The third-order vampire's skill Battization, when used, has a limit of times in addition to consuming life. Only after reaching the fourth level, the limitation of bat formation will disappear.

In the game, Tier 3 and Tier 4 are a watershed. Fourth-order, whether it is for professionals or other creatures, will produce an essential change. Stepping into the fourth rank, the combat ability will be doubled immediately. Only after reaching the fourth level, the caster can remove the word apprentice and become a full-fledged mage.

Similarly, for a creature like a vampire, to reach the fourth level, in addition to a substantial increase in basic physical fitness, all skills will also be improved accordingly. Batman no longer has a limit on the number of times it can be used, and will also awaken other skills.

Rhodes has always been afraid of the advanced undead creatures in the depths of the tomb, which is precisely the reason. According to Rhodes' observation, the current vampires are only Tier 3, and they have not successfully advanced.

Originally, vampires could advance with peace of mind. By sleeping in the tomb and accumulating energy, they were upgraded from third-order creatures to fourth-order creatures.

Therefore, the vampire will appear so angry when the progression is interrupted. To advance by means of long sleep like this, once it is interrupted, it can be said that all previous efforts have been lost.

Because of this, after the vampire is interrupted, he will not hesitate to cross the passage full of flames and come to chase and kill Rhodes.

Recognizing this, Rhode arranged what he thought was the best barrier at the exit. The energy expended even exceeded the arrangement in the main tomb at the beginning.

Rhode ignited the barrier arranged at the entrance of the passage, and the surrounding walking corpses surrounded them one after another. As long as the vampires come here, Rhodes can hit them hard.

After the third barrier was broken by the vampires, Rhodes hit full attention, staring at the exit of the passage, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Thick smoke has been drifting outward from the tomb.

After waiting for a while, Rhodes began to wonder. According to the speed of the vampire, he should have arrived here at this time, and the walking corpse stationed in the passage did not give Rhode any strange hints. Rhodes couldn't help but be more alert.

Suddenly, a strong perception warning came from right in front of Rhodes. Rhodes didn't even think about it, he turned his body and rolled to the side.

A black shadow broke out from the ground far from the exit of the tomb, rushed towards Rhode's position at a very fast speed, and grabbed it with one claw.

Even though Rhodes dodged for the first time, his arm was still injured, and his sharp claws took a piece of meat off Rhodes' arm. This shadow is the vampire.

For some reason, the vampire unexpectedly anticipated Rhode's preparations, but instead took advantage of the opportunity Rhode was waiting here to raid Rhode!
