Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 356 Hidden Effect
After freezing all the living corpses in a big ice cube, Rhodes sat down on the ground and prepared to eat something, then began to perform exercises to restore his internal strength.

He was teleported out suddenly by Natalya at night, and now it's almost the next morning, so it's time to eat something.

Last night he was still worrying about whether he needed to work today.

Now it seems that many troubles are actually unnecessary.

Rhodes simply washed his face with the remaining water in the barrel, and then he took out two steaming meat buns from the space ring, and handed one to Natalya.

After the fusion of the interspatial rings, all the things he used to hold were in the interspatial ring he was wearing now, and the items in Natalya's rings were also in it.

"Do you still want what's in the ring?" Rhodes asked.

"No need, I've put all the valuable things in my own luggage, and you can clean up the rest of the garbage for me." Natalya said vaguely while biting the bun.

Her weakness is obvious. Although she is proficient in illusion, she is very fast, and she is very powerful in duels, but she has no means of mass destruction and her defense is not strong. When she is on the battlefield, a large group of ordinary soldiers of the first rank surround her can kill her.

"Aren't you a clean freak? Why do you eat with your hands without washing your hands?" Rhode suddenly thought of this question after taking a bite of the steamed stuffed bun. Anyway, he washed his hands while washing his face.

"I've been wearing gloves before, and I didn't touch anything dirty, so there's no need to wash my hands," Natalya replied.

"Wearing gloves will always sweat..."

"That's enough, don't you bother, don't talk about it anymore." Natalya suddenly shouted.

"By the way, why didn't you think of leaving here with a space scroll just now, but thought of prying open that stone door?" Rhode saw that he was chatting to death and quickly changed the subject.

"There is a special magic circle in this tomb, you can't use the space scroll to leave here, or you think I will miss it?" Natalya stuffed the last mouthful of buns into her mouth, her face was bulging.

"Do you still have this kind of white bread with meat? One is not enough." She asked with some embarrassment.

Rhodes took out some buns from the interspatial ring and distributed them to Natalya.

"There's something wrong here. The surrounding environment is unconsciously affecting our emotions." Natalya said while eating.

"You mean that the living corpses in the ice next to you are so ugly that you have lost your appetite, implying that I should clean them up first?" Rhodes said.

"I'm not talking about this, don't you feel that as soon as you enter this place, you start to feel fear and despair inexplicably?" Natalya looked at Rhodes and asked seriously.

"No." Rhodes replied vaguely with the bun stuffed in his mouth.

"Under normal circumstances, I would definitely not be so frightened as I was just now that I want to give up my life, even in the face of thousands of living corpses." Natalya said.

Thinking about it carefully, Rhodes also felt that there was something wrong here. This hall was like the place he had been to before, exuding the smell of madness and despair.

However, the impact on him was much smaller than last time, basically negligible.

I don't know if this hall's ability to affect emotions is not as good as that of last time, or because Rhode's strength has improved a little.

In the last battle, Rhodes found that besides being very lethal to living corpses, Rhodes' Tathagata Palm seemed to be able to be improved by killing these living corpses. This battle also verified this point.

The Tathagata God Palm used for the first time today is more powerful than the last time, and it also has a Sanskrit singing that can soothe the soul. Rhodes knows that this is not the result of practicing this martial art for the past few days.

But the second time it was used even better than the first time, the Sanskrit singing became a bell that could beat the enemy hard and calm the emotions of the companions.

Rhodes checked the system just now, and his proficiency in the Tathagata Palm has not improved much. This should be the hidden effect of using the Tathagata Palm to purify or supersede living corpses.

The higher the proficiency of a certain martial art, the more Rhodes can display the power of that martial art, and using the Tathagata Palm to save these living corpses can increase the upper limit of the power of the Tathagata Palm.

Rhodes was less and less affected by the despair and madness that filled the environment, which should also be the effect brought about by the gradual strengthening of the Tathagata God's Palm.

Just like practicing Flame Palm can increase Rhodes' resistance to flames, practicing Tathagata Palm can increase Rhodes' resistance to negative emotions in the environment.

"This should be a curse." Natalya said suddenly, "I remember I read this in an ancient book. It is said that the world of the dead is full of such curses, which will make all souls who enter feel hopeless , slowly becoming insane."

"Continue to talk." Rhode's eyes lit up when he heard it. He was very interested in the world of the dead.

"That book is in my luggage, let me look for it. The owner of the book said that he once entered the world of the dead. I thought it was a lunatic's fantasy, so I didn't think much about it." Natalya held her hand With the last bun in her mouth, she began to rummage through the small bag at her waist with her hands.

"I found it." She took out an old animal skin book and shouted indistinctly.

Rhodes reached out to take the book, began to flip through it, and after a few glances, he closed the book and returned it to Natalia.

"I don't know the words on it." He said with some embarrassment.

"He uses an ancient script. It's normal if you don't know it. I also learned this script by myself to find the whereabouts of those rings." Natalya took the book after finishing the last bun. He took out something similar to glasses from his luggage, put it on, and began to read the book in his hand.

"Look first, I'll recover my strength, and you'll tell me about it later," Rhodes said.

"Ah."

In order to restore his internal strength faster, Rhodes spent another [-] points of chivalry to use the ordinary lottery to draw medicine, and he got what he wanted after only one draw.

Buqi Pill: After taking it, the recovery speed of internal strength will be greatly increased, and the duration will be three hours.

After Rhodes ate the Qi Bu Qi Pill, he closed his eyes and began to run the Marrow Washing Sutra.

Even the medicine drawn by ordinary lottery has obvious effects. In less than half an hour, Rhodes recovered nearly half of his internal strength.

He was worried that the ice would melt, so he stopped doing exercises.

"Go to the side, I will destroy them." Rhodes said to Natalya who was studying the ancient book.

Natalya nodded, and walked to a corner with a book.

Rhodes took a deep breath and used Tathagata Palm on the huge ice block in front of him, and a golden light shone in the hall.

After the light completely dissipated, the ice that sealed the fragments of the living corpses melted into water and flowed to the ground, and all the living corpses inside were reduced to ashes.

"I'll rest for a while, and I'll start again later, just in time for you to study that book." Rhodes said to Natalya who came back again.
