Chapter 72
Chapter 72-Bone Cane 2
Looking at the small piece of vine tissue in his hand, Rod realized the type of vine that originally attacked the vampire.
Based on some experience in the previous life, coupled with the scenes he saw before, Rod guessed that the creature guarding the mansion should be a special undead creature, bone vine. The original cane that attacked the vampire was part of the bone cane.
After high-level plants die for some reason, necromancers can transform them into special undead creatures through a series of soul-calling rituals, and bone vine is one of the more common ones.
Because it is a special undead creature, the bone vine has great potential. It can be grown by devouring the flesh and blood of the creature. After being cultivated, it is extremely conducive to defense. It is a relatively top existence among creatures of the same level.
However, although this bone vine is extremely powerful, it still has many limitations.
The flesh and blood required for cultivating bone vines are extremely large, and due to their own reasons, bone vines cannot leave the position of the root system like normal undead creatures.
After the bone vines are cultivated, they can only stay in one place. In addition, the bone vine needs to swallow a large amount of flesh and blood as nourishment every day, otherwise it will show a state of malaise, and it will be difficult to exert its own strength.
When the stage position of the bone vine reaches a certain level, the general flesh and blood can only maintain the current strength of the bone vine, but it cannot improve the stage position of the bone vine.
Since the main body is a plant, the bone vine cannot be improved by absorbing the energy of death like ordinary undead creatures. The bone vine must consume high-quality flesh and blood in order to gain strength.
Generally speaking, this kind of bone vines are cultivated for defense in the undead towns of medium scale and above. Because the entire town is used as a supply of flesh and blood, it can exert its greatest strength.
Therefore, necromancers often put this bone vine in a dormant state, and will not wake up the bone vine until enough flesh and blood has been accumulated. When the bone vine is in a dormant state, it does not need to devour flesh and blood every day.
Rod realized that this was the reason the mayor first withdrew from the inside of the mansion. The mayor did not care about the results of the battle between Rod and the Necromancer, and came to the inside of the mansion first, just to awaken the bone vine from the dormant state.
At this time, Rod has confirmed that the undead creatures guarding the mansion are bone vines. Knowing this, and thinking of the strength demonstrated by the bone vine before, Rod knew that he couldn’t be anxious.
Rod looked at this small piece of tissue in his hand. Most of the bone vines had this structure, and only the position close to the core would change.
Rod took this small piece of tissue, came to the candlestick not far away, put it on the candlestick and burned it.
Although in the previous trial, the bone vine showed resistance to fire, but to what extent this resistance reached, and how much effective damage the flame can cause to the bone vine, Rhode still needs further confirmation.
The resistance of undead creatures to flames is generally low. No matter what kind of undead creatures, they cannot withstand the burning of flames for a long time.
When Rod just took this piece of tissue in his hand, this small piece of tissue appeared a kind of white, which should be its original color. Under the shining of the flame, the tissue on the bone vine showed a special red color, and the closer to the fire, the deeper the red.
Rod looked into the candlestick. In the process of flame burning, this small piece of tissue gradually changed.At this time, through the burning of the flame, it didn’t take long for the bone vine tissue to appear a kind of charred black, and the black gradually expanded from the burning center to the surroundings, and finally the entire tissue became this color, as if only It can be torn off with a gentle pull.
Seeing this, Rod knew that the bone vine’s resistance to fire was not as good as he had originally thought. It could only be said to be average, stronger than low-level undead creatures like the walking corpse.
Rod realized that flames can play a big role. This is why the bone vine will directly attack the ghost holding the torch, and after killing the ghost, it will immediately extinguish the torch on the ground.
In the process of extinguishing the torch, since the single rattan of the bone vine is relatively large and can produce great strength, it will extinguish the flame under successive lashes. If it takes a long time, the bone vine will be the same. Scorched by the flames.
At this time, Rod could not help but think that if he mastered the wall of fire magic, and with sufficient mana, he would undoubtedly deal with the bone vine in front of him.
Because he was eager to subdue the undead creatures, Rhode did not search for the magic book carried by the necromancer. Although he could learn the spell of the wall of fire in this way, Rhode was unable to cast it due to insufficient mana.
Therefore, even if he knew that flames could deal with bone vines, Lord still needed to act like an appropriate method.
With the candlelight around him, Rod reignited a torch.
Rod had just handed the torch to the ghost. At this time, a stream of water fell from the sky, extinguishing the torch in the ghost’s hand. At the same time, multiple streams of water appeared, causing all the candlesticks inside the mansion to go out.
Rod knew that this was a response from the mayor who had been observing the situation in secret.
Using spells to directly condense water is like directly creating flames, and does not consume much mana. Therefore, this way of Rhodes only caused the mayor to consume some mana.
This created water flow can be generated from any position, depending on the intention of the caster. Even if the mayor is standing in the room, since the distance is not far, he can directly let the water flow down from the sky.
If the mayor was to observe the situation of the members entering the mansion at first, he specially left the flame on the candlestick for observation, then the mayor has already obtained the necessary information and found out that Rhodes wanted to use the flame. After lighting the mansion, the surrounding fires were immediately extinguished.
Compared with creating water flow, this move of the mayor undoubtedly made Rhode understand something. Even if the mayor is inside the room, he can still use some means to see what Rhodes is doing outside the room, which makes Rhode vigilant.
As the surrounding fire was extinguished, the light inside the mansion dimmed in an instant. It was difficult for Rod to see the surrounding things. Only the room where the bone vine was located, there was still a little dim light.
In the dark mansion, a flame illuminates the surroundings. Rhode directly used the mana to light the torch.
Rod stood there and waited for a while, but the current did not come again, allowing Rod to have some confirmation of the mayor’s way of observing himself.
Handing the torch to the ghost aside, Lord did not let the ghost try to light the mansion, but just held the torch to light it.
Rod knew in his heart that the mayor would not extinguish the torch with a stream of water if it was just lighting. Just as Rod originally confirmed, the mayor also needs the lighting provided by this flame to observe himself outside the room.
Since he could not directly ignite the mansion with flames, Rod began to think about how to deal with the bone cane.
According to Rod’s idea, the best way to deal with the mayor is to leave the mansion directly, and then send out undead creatures to monitor every move in the mansion.
After learning the magic recorded in the Necromancer’s Spellbook, plus the mana regained, Rhode would undoubtedly have a lot of ease in dealing with the bone vines in the mansion. Perhaps this is the easiest way to deal with the mayor.
After being awakened, the bone vine needs to consume a lot of flesh and blood every day. As long as Rod encircles the area, it will not be long before the bone vine will lose most of its power even if Rod does not come to attack.
But, as Rhodes had previously anticipated, it didn’t take long before the war between Diya and Eri would begin. Rhode needs to come to the Necromancer Academy before the war begins to get the most benefit.
Lord has stayed in the small town for a few days. If it is consumed like this, even if Lord will kill the mayor without much loss, Lord will also lose the opportunity to obtain greater gains in the war. This is because Little loss is big.
At this time, Rhode made his own judgment, that is, he can only attack by force. Although he does not know how much loss will be caused by these undead creatures under his control, as long as he can win the mayor, Rhode can accept it.
In the previous battle, the mayors of the four schools of spells were used. Rhode didn’t know why the necromancer chose to come here and become a mayor instead of studying in the necromancer academy.
Rod knew that the storm also had strategies, and it was undoubtedly the worst choice for all the undead creatures to swarm. When the undead creatures take action and how to dispatch them, the necromancer needs to judge by himself.
Regarding this point, players can choose to learn special skills: tactics, which can be improved in command after learning.
Rhode did not choose to learn tactics. As it was not a necessary skill, Rhode could also command the undead creatures based on his own combat experience, so Rhode did not want to spend attribute points to learn.
Previously, vampires could still crack the parts of the cane even when they were entangled in the cane, but due to the short time, they could not cause much damage to the cane.
This means that ghosts and ghosts can also cause considerable damage to the vines, but be careful of the interaction between the vines, otherwise they will be directly killed by the vines.
Under Rod’s control, the surrounding undead creatures were immediately ready and came to the door of this room.
At this time, according to Rhode’s instructions, the vampire entered the room first.
Behind the vampire were three ghosts controlled by Rhodes. In order to ensure that he could deal with the bone vine, Rhodes sent all the three ghosts under his control. But at this time, the ghost did not make any movement, and was still outside the door, waiting for the vampire to enter first.
Compared with the ghosts, the ghosts have poor basic attributes. They cannot withstand a single attack from the cane, and can make the space crowded. It is not conducive to other undead creatures to avoid the cane’s attack. Rod did not let these ghosts come forward. Fight, but wait outside.
As soon as the vampire entered the room, a cane shot directly at the vampire.
Following Rod’s instructions, the vampire quickly dodged to the side, and the cane hit the air with one blow.
The cane shoots out at a very fast speed. While the vampire dodges, the front end of the cane has reached the back of the vampire.
The front end of the cane used force and circled around the vampire, then entangled the vampire.At this time, several canes were shot from the rear again, and they slammed towards the vampire.
According to Lord’s order, the ghost directly stepped forward and blocked the front of the vampire.
The cane hit the ghost, and the ghost couldn’t dodge, and the cane struck back a few steps, but then the dark light circulated on his body, and the injury gradually recovered.
Except for one cane that entangled the vampire, the other canes tried to attack the vampire, but were first blocked by the ghost next to them.
Although the body was entangled by the cane, because there was no attack from another cane, the vampire took this opportunity to tear the bone cane on his body with all his strength.
Under the torn of the vampire, part of the cane entwined with it was torn apart, but compared to the entire cane, it was still of no avail, and the vampire was entangled tightly.
The cane is extremely tough, even if the vampire tears it with all its strength, it cannot be torn off, and each tear can only tear it apart a small part.
At this moment, the vampire who was tearing the cane had an unstable foot, and dashed a few steps into the room before it stopped and almost hit the ghost in front of him.
It turned out that when the vampire was tearing the cane, a huge force suddenly came from the cane, trying to bring the vampire back to the back, directly causing the vampire to stand unstable.
Fortunately, the vampire stopped the forward pace in time. The vampire kept moving, fighting with all its strength against the pulling force of the cane, while continuing to tear the cane with its sharp claws.
Two more canes came, but they were blocked by the ghost in front of the vampire. The ghost is not afraid of the slap of the cane, as long as the location of the shot is not the head, the ghost can recover by its own characteristics.
Therefore, the ghost can help the vampire very well and resist the attack of the cane.
The cane was beaten several times in succession, but no good results were achieved. The vampire has already torn off most of the cane entwined with him, and only needs to continue to attack for a while to tear off the front of the cane from one part.
Bone Cane seemed to realize this. The cane that had been entangled around the vampire instantly loosened and wanted to withdraw it to the rear, but the vampire directly grabbed the retreating cane, making it impossible to settle and then withdraw.
At this time, the cane caught by the vampire began to swing violently, struggling violently in the vampire’s hands, trying to get rid of the vampire’s control.
At this moment, a sword slashed down, directly hitting the part of the cane that had been torn by the vampire. Lord did not know when he came to the side of the vampire and joined the battle.
Although torn by the vampire, the appearance of the cane was still tough, and it directly bounced off the blade that Rhode had cut off.
Seeing that the weapon in his hand could not cause effective damage to the cane, Rhode quickly took out a dagger from the space ring.
The dagger slashed across Lord’s arm, and the light burst into red.
Rohde swung his dagger without any hindrance, and instantly cut off the cane entwining the vampire.
