Chapter 366 Hunting God (4000 words)
Rhodes remembered why he was so familiar with the middle-aged officer who wanted to lock them into the dungeon.

In Rhodes' original world, this middle-aged officer was the adventurer who attacked him in the ruins that sealed the dragon people.

Rhodes remembered that he still wanted to let this man go. After knocking him out, he just tied him up instead of taking his life directly. He planned to hand him over to the local lord after leaving the ruins. Earn a bounty.

But then something happened, they accidentally lifted the dragonman's seal, and Rhodes ran into this adventurer again when he was being chased by the dragonman, and finally Rhodes took out the poisoned golden needle and killed him.

In this world, since Rhodes was not involved in that incident, the group of adventurers and soldiers didn't think of digging down after being trapped by the magic barrier, but stayed there and waited for the magic barrier to dissipate naturally.

Therefore, he did not die in that ruins in this world.

It is estimated that in the next few years, he was tired of the adventurous life or for other reasons, such as being shot in the knee, returned to his hometown and became the guard of Eternal Winter City.

After some torture, he explained why he wanted to put Rhodes in the dungeon.

This was because he heard that Eternal Winter City would soon become a battlefield, so he planned to use his authority to blackmail Rhodes and the two adventurers who were not familiar with each other, and then fled to the south with the money to live.

So he planned to put Rhodes and the others in the dungeon, and he planned to let them pay a large sum of money before releasing them from the dungeon.

By the time Rhodes and the others came out of the dungeon and went to his superiors to report this matter, he had already fled to the safe south.

After the middle-aged officer was hanged in public, Rhodes, Al, and Havar immediately embarked on a journey to hunt and kill the demigod.

Rhodes decided to wait for all these matters in the north to be resolved. If there is more time, he is going to play with that "old friend" in the ruins of the sealed dragon in Winterfell Province.

"Are you so short of people here? Even you have to go with us in person." Al asked Harvar on a horse.

"Everyone with a little ability has gone to the north, and most of the rest of the city are old, weak, sick and disabled. If you don't want to make a move, then I have to go alone.

If one of those warriors who can slay dragons comes back, then we all don't have to take this risk. It is enough to deal with that demigod alone, but the army in the north needs the cover of these strong men if they want to retreat. ’ Harvar replied.

Relying on Havar's relationship, the three of them could ride horses to the southeast of the demigod's lair instead of walking hard.

The northern war horses that can run freely in the snow are obviously different from the southern horses. Their hair is very thick and their limbs are very thick. It is a bit like a mammoth that has been shrunk many times, has no teeth, and has a horse's head. .

"Is the three of us enough?" Al seemed a little unsure. "I haven't fought against a demigod yet."

"It should be enough, even if it becomes a demigod, it won't be particularly powerful due to racial restrictions.

After the giant dragon broke through the barrier of the world, their abundant magic elements poured into our side, and many alien demigods lurking in our extreme northern province became active again.

The demigod we are going to hunt is recorded in ancient books, and its legends are still circulating in our north today. ’ explained Howard.

"I feel like there might be cleaners who cleaned it up before we got there." Rhode yawned while sitting on his horseback.

"The liquidators should be very busy now. Apart from the crisis that has surfaced in the north, there are many hidden crises in many places on the mainland. We can only rely on ourselves. It may be like some ancient prophecies said As we said, the era of our humanity will soon be over." Harvar sighed.

"What is a Cleaner?" Al asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." Havar shook his head.

Al turned his head to look at Rhodes again: "What is a clearer?"

"Come here for garbage sorting." Rhodes saw that Haval didn't explain to Al, and felt that there must be some reason why he couldn't explain it, so he didn't explain it to Al.

"You guys are so boring." Al shook his head.

"What are the characteristics of that demigod?" Rhodes asked.

"It is said that it is a huge white worm that eats everything. It is said that it will lurk in the snow and devour the passing travelers." Harvar replied.

Rhode remembered that he hadn't encountered any creatures on the road, and it should be because of this demigod, the animals that originally lived on that snowfield had all entered its stomach.

The three of them rode their war horses all the way to the southeast. The closer they got to the south, the lower the temperature. This time they didn't pass by the sentry tower, but came directly to the snowy world.

A gust of cold wind was blowing in front of him, mixed with flying snow all over the sky, Haval, who was wearing black armor, couldn't help shivering, "In my memory, there has never been such a cold place in the Extreme North Province."

"Shouldn't we be able to contend with a demigod who can create such a wide range of weird weather?" Al asked a little unconfidently.

"There is an ancient book that records that there is a demigod hidden in this place that can change the temperature in a large range. The book also said that this demigod is not good at fighting. It should be no problem for the three of us to deal with it together." Haval In fact, he was a little unconfident, but he still pretended to be very calm. If even he flinched, then their task would be impossible to complete.

Rhode didn't think it would be a big problem to defeat that demigod. He didn't encounter any danger along the way. It was probably because the demigod felt that he was difficult to deal with, so he didn't make a move.

And those frost elemental beings that Ai Er met alone should be the temptation of that demigod, but it may be because of Ai Er's strength, the demigod still did not attack him in the end.

However, if the three of them want to kill it directly in its home field, it may be relatively difficult.

"We are already in the territory of that demigod. It didn't take the initiative to attack us. It should be because it feels that it can't deal with the three of us." Haval continued to cheer up the three of them.

"The key now is how we should find it. Are there any mentions in those ancient books?" Rhodes said as he looked at the gradually setting sun.

"If that book mentions this, then the ancient Qiang killed it so early. All along, it only dared to come out to look for food once in a long time, lurking in the snow to attack passing caravans, eating in a hurry After dropping all the corpses and goods, I immediately hid in the ground to escape the pursuit of strong human beings." Havar replied.

"I probably know how to track it." Al suddenly said, "Close your eyes and feel carefully, don't think about anything, and move with your own feelings. It seems to be using a special method to lure the surrounding creatures. Walk towards it involuntarily, so that it can look for food."

After hearing this, Rhodes took out a piece of animal skin to cover the eyes of the war horse under him, and then let it move.

After rigorous training, the horse is not frightened even if it is blindfolded, and it can continue to move forward according to the order of the rider.

Rhodes could clearly see the blindfolded war horse running in one direction involuntarily.

Al and Harvar immediately followed up on their steeds.

"You really deserve to be an adventurer." Harval gave Alby a thumbs up.

Half an hour later, the war horse under Rhodes suddenly stopped, and its body began to tremble continuously, as if it had encountered its own natural enemy.

"It's right under our feet, ready to fight." Havar noticed the abnormality of his horse and reminded him. He took out a sharp battle ax and looked around vigilantly.

The next moment, a white worm as thick as a tank truck emerged from the snow below Havar, and the white worm cut Havar's war horse in half with its huge mouthparts.

Harvar jumped off the horse in the first place and escaped unharmed. Before he could recover, the bug rushed towards him again.

Rhodes jumped up from the horse, jumped to the back of the big worm that looked like a maggot, and he took out the Bane of the Wise Men in the air.

puff!
Bane of the Wise pierced the bug's smooth back as easily as it would pierce a block of tofu.

Hey!
After the snowworm ate the pain, it made a sound like a human baby crying, and Rhodes on its back felt a chill.

Its body lit up with a blue light, and the biting coldness gushed out from its body surface, and Al and Havar beside it were so cold that they began to shiver.

And Rhodes on its back was not affected much because of the transformation a few days ago, and was still holding a dagger hanging on its back.

The cold air emanating from Snow Worm's body was as dense as a mist, a gust of wind blew past, and a blizzard fell in the sky, blurring the vision of everyone present.

Elemental beings made of ice crystals stood up from the snow around the snow worms. They were three meters tall, and their whole bodies were made of ice blue ice.

After the snow worms chirped, they began to attack Al and Haval on the ground in coordination.

Al pulled out the giant sword behind his back and slashed at the ice element in front of him. Golden lightning spewed out from his giant sword, and the three-meter-high ice element was split in half.

The golden electric light fell to the ground with the swing of the giant sword, blasting the surrounding ice elements into pieces.

"Comfortable! It's good to have a high magic power content in the environment!" Al, who was bathed in the electric light, exclaimed loudly.

Rhodes leaned on Snowworm's back and stabilized his figure, holding the dagger in his hand and slashing downwards, drawing a wound several meters long on its back, from which ice blue blood flowed out. Dye half of Rhodes' body blue.

This kind of wound is not too serious for this snow worm that is tens of meters long and looks similar to a train. As its muscles squirmed, the wound quickly stopped bleeding and began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. heal.

"Let's clean up these ice elements first, you just need to entangle this big bug." Al, with golden lightning flashing on his body, shouted to Rhodes.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely kill those miscellaneous soldiers before you finish dealing with them later." Rhodes responded while stabilizing his figure.

Rhodes felt that it was possible to kill it, but it was simply not realistic to entangle it.

The snowworm under him shuttled back and forth on the battlefield like a giant tank, and whenever its tail hit the ground, it would leave a deep hole in the ground.

What Al meant by entanglement should be to prevent it from escaping.

Rhodes jumped off the snow worm, he took out a giant sword, poured his internal energy into the sword, and slashed at the snow worm.

A sword fell, and there was a sharp howl of the sword, as if there was a storm, and the snowflakes all over the sky were drawn by the sword.

Tear!

boom!
The giant sword chopped off Snow Worm's body, and finally hit the ground with a muffled sound. All the ice elemental beings in a straight line in front of him were cut in half by the sword, and the thick snow on the ground was blown away by the sword energy. Melted, exposing the hard permafrost.

Blue blood flowed out from the cut, dyeing a large piece of snow blue.

The blue blood on the ground suddenly burned, and a biting cold burst out. Rhodes, who was holding up his sword and preparing to attack again, suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe, as if he had altitude sickness.

The snow worm's blood has a certain degree of toxicity after being ignited by itself, and even Rhodes, who is particularly resistant to toxins, was affected.

Gritting his teeth, Rhode raised his sword again and slashed at the snow worm's front, separating its head from the back torso, and now it became three sections.

Afterwards, he took advantage of this time to stay away from the snow worms, took a few gulps of breath, and then recovered.

Not far away, the snow worm that he cut into three pieces unexpectedly returned to its original shape.

The earthworm has been cut into many sections but can still move. It is a muscle reflex, but it is actually dead. However, this snowworm can still be repaired after being cut into several sections.

Although it doesn't have powerful means of attack, its powerful vitality is a headache.

Although the snow worm's skin and muscles are very fragile to the plague of the wise, they are actually as hard as stone.

Rhodes felt that unless it could be blown into small pieces, it could recover quickly.

It's a pity that with the little black powder in his interspatial ring, it is estimated that even its skin will be difficult to explode.

It is still a demigod-level creature, and with such a large body, the speed of recovering magic power must be very fast.

And Rhodes felt that the internal force in his body was only enough for him to split the snow worm seven or eight times at most.

There is also a chance to kill it directly with the three-point return to vitality, but the snow worm runs too fast, and Rhodes is worried that he will not be able to hit it.

"Don't let it get away," Harvar warned loudly.

The head of the snow worm in front of Rhodes had been buried in the snow, as if it was about to escape.

Blossoming ice thorns flew towards Rhodes, which was the magic used by the surrounding ice elements.

Rhodes jumped on Snow Worm's back again, he took out a giant lance, and stabbed the lance into Snow Worm's body fiercely.

A huge force erupted from his body, and the lance penetrated Snow Worm's body. Rhodes pinched the tail of the lance and continued to exert force. Half of his body was buried in Snow Worm's body, and then the spear tip was lifted from Snow Worm's body. The other side of the body pierced out.

Boo!
The snowworm let out a painful scream, and it began to roll on the ground.

Rhodes just let out a muffled grunt when he was pressed to the ground by the snow worm. He put his hand into the wound on the back of the snow worm, and the flames ignited in his hand.

The cold weather outside will greatly weaken the flame, but the impact of the snowworm's closed body will be much smaller.

The snow worm's body is warm, which means that it will not stimulate the magic power in its blood to generate low temperature around it, otherwise it will definitely suffer great damage.

Rhodes put his hand in the snow worm's body and used the flame palm, and a violent explosion erupted in the snow worm's body.

boom!
The snow worm was blasted from the wound in front of Rhodes.

Rhodes nailed it to the hard frozen soil with the lance that had been broken from the snow worm's body, and then rushed towards the snow worm's head.

He put his hands on his chest, and under the pull of his internal force, all the free energy in the world rushed towards his hands, gathering into a colorless air mass.

Rhodes yelled and pushed the air mass on his chest towards the snow worm.

Three points return to vitality!
The colorless air mass kept growing after leaving Rhode's control, and finally hit the snow worm's head.

boom!
The air mass produced a powerful explosion after hitting the snowworm's head, blowing away the snowstorm.

Rhodes rushed to the snow worm whose head was blown apart, ready to make up for it.
