The Last Dark King

Latest website: Ghost Lake is located 12,000 yards south of Fanxing Town and is covered by fog all year round.

The black death fog and gray fog mixed together, looking strange and terrifying.

In fact, it is far more dangerous than what appears on the surface.

Countless high-level evil spirits are either floating in the mist or hiding under the water, launching fatal attacks on any creature passing by.

The Royal City has lost countless reconnaissance teams and exploration teams here, and many in-depth exploration operations have all ended in failure. In the end, it can only be classified as a deep red high-risk area, and any operational mission is prohibited from going deep here.

But today, a team of thousands of people broke the dead silence, and the fog shrouding this mysterious area was finally dispelled by the light of fire.

The fire keeper personally separated a remaining flame from the guardian fire and loaded it in the lantern. The passion for victory also washed over the heart of the old fire keeper. He was so excited that he held the lantern high, and thousands of flames shot out. , dispelling the fog of the road ahead.

But what was even brighter was the long queue. The light from countless lanterns penetrated all the shadows, exposing this foggy death land to light for the first time.

This is a gloomy wetland, with a huge lake in the center. The lake is dark and gray, as if there are countless shadows hiding under the water.

This is the legendary Ghost Lake.

But at this moment, there are not many ghosts here anymore, only a few floating in the gray lake water.

Most of the ghosts have left the area.

The ghost spirits that were once extremely troublesome left the advantage of their nests and became very vulnerable under the double suppression of the Fire Sun and the Guardian Fire, and were swept away by the Fanxing Town Legion.

The remaining ghosts were unable to withstand the thousands of high-spirited combatants and were quickly killed.

The area near Ghost Lake was quickly cleared, leaving only the huge lake itself.

Captain O'Hara said excitedly: "Commander, everything goes well. We are approaching Ghost Lake. Use your magical tactics to kill the Corrupted Hydra. It is the only remaining threat in this area. "

"That's right, kid, go and kill it!"

Defense Master Big Stick shouted:

"I can't wait to build my iron wall near Ghost Lake. I have agreed in advance that my weekly salary will be 4,000 silver cords!"

Have you already given up? Rhode curled his lips and said, "It's too expensive. Can it be cheaper?"

The defense master suddenly jumped up as if he were sitting on a red iron rod.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I am the holder of a high-level professional title in the city defense army, and I cannot lose a penny."

"Forget it."

"3,000 silver cords."

"make a deal."

Annabeth on the side looked very dejected: "Why did I rush up? What on earth was I doing? Rhodes killed the ghost without me... Wuwuwu, I am really useless."

Her best friend and rival Mina comforted her sympathetically: "Don't blame yourself, you are useless to begin with."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Sister Mina, don't hit her like this, Annabei has already worked very hard."

Molly on the side pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said seriously: "This is not Annabeth's fault. She is probably affected by a certain ability. I highly doubt that the opponents are causing it. The monster is under the blazing sun. "The unusual departure from the nest to launch attacks, the unnatural rage of the unclean spirits, and Annabelle's unusual behavior are all related to them."

Rhodes was shocked: "Is there such a good person? Are you sure he is an opponent? Isn't he my unbreakable ally?"

Everyone around laughed.

But Molly said solemnly: "Sir Rhodes, it was your unexpected strength that turned their conspiracy into an ugly trick, but their original intention was to destroy Fanxing Town and destroy the expedition team, thereby destroying the royal city's expansion plan. , one failure will never make them give up.”

Vivian on the side also said: "Miss Molly is right, our victory will set off a huge wave in the royal city, the interests of countless people will be affected by us, there are many people who hate us to the bone, we must not main idea."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are many people who hate us, but there are even more people who support us, and there will be more and more people. Even those who hate us will gradually turn to support us. The world will eventually be The bright road may be tortuous, but the sunshine will definitely penetrate the dark fog and fill the world. "

These words were spoken so categorically, as if he had truly foreseen such a future.

This strong self-confidence suddenly infected them, making them seem to have seen the radiant scene.

Everyone was moved by it.

Darkness has ruled everything since they were born. Everything outside the firelight is darkness. They have been dealing with darkness every moment they grow up.

No one dared to despise it like this, no one dared to boast that the darkness would be defeated. That powerful psychological barrier was hard to imagine, but Rhodes easily crossed it and led them to jump over it.

"Woooo, I finally know why you are the commander."

"Lord Rhodes is great."

"I have confidence again! Humanity will win!"

Among the praises for Landslide and Tsunami, only Molly remained expressionless, as if this was a matter of course.

O'Hara was also excited and shouted: "Get ready to fight, the Corrupted Hydra is at the bottom of the lake. After killing it, the Guardian Fire will rise in Ghost Lake!"

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

Baywood smiled and said: "Brother Rhodes, your murderous eyes are so amazing. If we had this ability a long time ago, many things would become very simple."

But A Luo felt a little uneasy and whispered: "Little Rhodes, my psychic power is not enough. Can you still hold on to your murderous eyes?"

Rhode's heart suddenly went cold.

"Are you not strong enough? Aren't you unfathomable?"

A Luo said angrily: "No matter how deep I am, I can't let you suck like this! Do you know how many times you sucked? Twenty-three times! My legs are still weak now."

Rhodes' heart sank.

The corrupted hydra is also a powerful monster, not much worse than the unclean ghosts, and this time they are fighting outside the range of fire, in the monster's lair.

The odds were stacked against them.

Rhodes originally wanted to repeat the previous tactics.

As long as A Luo heals the demons, it shouldn't be a problem.

But he didn't expect that A Luo, who claimed to be unfathomable, would be sucked dry by him.

Rhodes frowned and glanced at Annabeth.

Just relying on men and horses to throw spears will definitely not work, and activating [Awakening] will be even more detrimental than gain.

what to do?

Want to retreat?

Rhodes hesitated.

Such a good opportunity to expand the results was given up like this. Not to mention that he was unwilling to do so, I am afraid that no one would be willing to do so.

But failure to retreat could turn a great victory into a great defeat.

That's even worse.

Just when he was about to make up his mind, the book of knowledge in his mind suddenly started making noise again.

It kept tapping the obelisk with its pages, attracting Rhode's attention.

"What's wrong?" Rhodes asked in his mind: "Are there another spiritual monsters catching up? Wait for me for a moment."

The book of knowledge opened its pages, with several large characters written on them.

"Are there any ghost-like monsters near you?"

Rhodes frowned and asked, "Can you see the outside world?"

The Book of Knowledge says: "No, but I can smell the breath. Answer my question quickly."

"What do you mean by evil monsters?"

"One of the corrupted strange demons, with characteristics such as immortality, filth, corrosion, alienity, bodily fluids, etc., born from the abyss."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Abyss? There is no abyss rift here."

The Book of Knowledge writes: "The rift is not the abyss. The real abyss is the dark side that can be corroded by even the gods. It is the materialized super source material of one of the one hundred and seven original laws. The rift is only its derivative." Any living thing can gain power through the characteristics of the abyss, and the strange demon is a monster formed by the black mist condensed through the abyss.”

Rhodes' heart sank.

"You mean, the Abyss Rift is just a fragment of the Abyss derivative? Monsters like the Abyss Serpent guarding the fragments are just monsters among the derivatives?"

"Yes, the Abyss existed at the beginning of creation and was the source of all evil in the initial era. However, after the appearance of the black mist, it gradually disappeared from sight, but its derivatives became more bizarre under the erosion of the black mist. Abnormally, abyss monsters are everywhere in the dark world, not just in the abyss rifts.”

Rhodes immediately realized what it was talking about.

"I'm in Ghost Lake. There's a corrupted hydra under the lake. It's a powerful elementary monster."

The writing in the Book of Knowledge became sloppy and looked agitated.

"That's it! Go and absorb it!"

Rhodes was stunned: "Absorb?"

"Yes, go quickly, the evil stone jar has been hungry for a long time."

Rhodes had almost forgotten about this building.

The Evil Stone Jar is a building he acquired a long time ago. There is a thirsty soul inside, and if fed enough humanity, an Evil Stone will be spit out.

This evil stone swallowed Gregor's soul and turned it into a ball of flesh. It was said that it would hatch after more than forty days, but there has been no movement yet.

Rhodes can cut a piece of "living flesh and blood" from it every few days.

It's become his regular cash machine, so he doesn't care when it hatches.

Rhodes asked in surprise: "Can the evil stone jar also eat monsters?"

The book writes: "Of course, Theodore's instinct once controlled you to eat an evil demon's son."

Rhodes remembered it instantly and couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure the Corrupted Hydra is an evil ghost? I won't rush up to it and be eaten by it, right?"

The bookaholic wrote: "Of course I am sure! I am the supreme wisdom treasure, is there anything else I don't know?"

"Then how do I absorb evil spirits?"

The book was silent for a few seconds and then wrote.

"……have no idea."

"...Aren't you a member of the Supreme Wisdom Treasure?"

"I am incomplete now and my soul has not yet recovered," he wrote bookishly.

Rhodes carefully recalled the situation at that time.

"It seems like you can just put your hand on it and activate the stone cylinder's ability."

Shu quickly wrote: "Yes, in fact, I already knew that I was just testing you just now."

Rhodes didn't notice what it said at all. Under the lake in front, a huge shadow was rapidly expanding, and powerful psychic energy waves radiated from under the ghost lake.

The Corrupted Hydra was awakened.

In Rhode's sight, a huge deformed soul was approaching them.

Its soul waveform is in a zigzag shape, making it a typical powerful monster.

The oscillation amplitude of the psychic waveform has reached a level that can be observed with the naked eye. The psychic level is at least level eleven, which is more powerful than unclean ghosts.

The captains shouted loudly: "Get out! Get out!"

A giant head the size of a carriage emerged from the water. A terrifying corrosive aura hit his face, and the lanterns around the waists of the nearby combatants were extinguished.

O'Hara and others rushed up and kicked away several combatants who were confused and wanted to attack it.

Annabeth quickly released her awakening state and jumped in front of Rhodes.

"Rhode, let's get in quickly!"

A Luo shouted anxiously: "Retreat! Let's retreat quickly, little Rhodes's psychic power is not enough!"

When Molly saw Rhode's silence, she immediately said, "Pass the order and retreat immediately! This is the order from Deputy Commander Molly."

Even the orderly soldier, who always followed orders and prohibited them, was stunned for a moment and did not take a step forward.

Molly raised her eyebrows and said sternly: "Deliver the order! Do you want to go to a military court?"

But the next moment, Rhodes came to his senses, turned over and jumped on Annabeth, loudly saying: "Instructions, everyone spread out, don't let any ghosts come near this place."

The ordering soldier immediately bowed and said, "Yes!" He turned around and ran away.

"Molly, possessed!"

Molly turned into a mist and sank into Rhodes' body, and the black threads of wind were activated instantly.

"A Luo, give it a shot!"

A Luo gently pressed Rhode's waist, injecting warmth into him.

Rhodes once again felt energetic and boundless, and laughed loudly.

"Annabelle, it's time for us to get going!"
