Chapter 27: Deadwood Warrior

Rod took the vampire and walked through the jungle.
The light in the forest is relatively dark, and there are some dead branches and leaves on one foot. The trees around were tall, and Rhode looked at them. They were all big trees that only five or six people could hug together, making it difficult to tell the direction.
Due to the lack of roads in the forest, and the lack of guidance from the pathfinding technique, it was difficult for Rhodes to confirm the direction of progress. Even with a map, Rhode needs a reference to go to his chosen target.
According to the signs on the map, Rhode prepared to go to the nearest river first, and then follow the river to the nearby town.
Rhodes looked at the map in his hand. According to the records on the map, if you want to go straight to the river, you must pass through a place with a danger sign.
Unclear about the specific environment around him, or the enemies he might encounter, Rhode did not dare to go to the river at full speed, but took the vampire and observed the surrounding environment while moving forward.
Rhodes with reconnaissance is undoubtedly very comfortable in observing the surrounding environment. Although the action is slower, you don’t have to spend time on the detour.
According to Rod’s ideas, an enemy who is difficult for Apprentice Ellot to overcome does not mean he cannot be defeated.
Going directly to the river, Rhodes can detect enemies in the distance through reconnaissance. If the enemy is strong, Rhode can retreat directly, but if the enemy is weak, he can be killed.
Rhode estimated that being able to control the vampire's self, even if he was head-to-head with Ellot, would not necessarily fail. Successive victories gave Rhode confidence that he wanted to defeat the unknown enemy.
Along the way, although no anomalies were found, Rod had not let go of the alertness in his mind and did not blindly move forward, but always observed the surrounding environment.
As the distance from the tomb increased, the light in the forest became darker and darker. Rhode looked around, the surrounding trees were tall and abnormal, and the branches and leaves of the trees blocked the light tightly. Rhode had to walk between these big trees.
During this advancement, on the side, several crooked trees caught Rod's attention.
Somehow the tall trees fell aside, and the still thick trunk rested on the other trees. The roots of the trees that had been firmly entangled in the ground were also out of the ground at this time, and the roots were still soiled with soil.
This unreasonable situation made Rod alert, relying on the perception brought by the reconnaissance technique, Rod quickly observed the surroundings, but found nothing abnormal, so he had to move on.
Not far away, suddenly, like finding something, a strong sense of crisis emerged in Rod's heart. Rod hurriedly took a vampire and hid behind a tree.
The ground starts to shake regularly, from far to near. In the forest, there was a sound of swaying branches and leaves, the sound became louder and louder.
Rhode knew that in the distance, he didn't know what kind of creature's enemy was approaching in his own direction. The power it brought, even Rhodes hiding behind the tree, couldn't help but feel a little palpitations.
The ground vibration is getting closer. Vampires can also feel the power of the enemy, and the body behind the tree trembles violently.
A strong shock came in front of the tree, and Rhode understood that the enemy had found himself without the tree in front of him.
The spiritual imprint is beating strongly, as if it is a biological instinct, and the vampire has a fear. Rhode can only control the vampire by manipulating the spiritual imprint, and at the same time converge his breath.
The vibration gradually moved away. The enemy did not find Rod and the vampire, but walked deep into the jungle.
The powerful enemies went away, the vampire gradually calmed down, while Rhodes still leaned against the tree trunk, recalling the last enemy he saw.
At the last moment of the enemy's departure, Rhode quickly glanced in its direction. With just one glance, the enemy's appearance was determined by the appearance of the enemy.
The body is as tall as the surrounding giant wood, the humanoid torso, and the skin is covered with dead wood-like lines...
Deadwood Warrior.
The shock gradually subsided, but Rod was still thinking about the power the enemy had brought.
Fifth order? Is it higher?
Rod didn't know, but he knew that the enemy in front of him was far from his own. If it wasn't for the Deadwood Warrior's natural low perception, he might have been discovered by it.
For ordinary people who get lost in the forest, the deadwood warriors generally ignore them and even help them leave the forest. But for the Necromancer, the Deadwood Warrior does not have such a good temper. Rod doesn't think there will be a good ending after he is discovered.
Fortunately, there is only one creature in the area like the Deadwood Warrior. Watching the enemy go away, Rhode doesn't have to worry about meeting other deadwood warriors.
With the vampire, Rod continued to move in the direction that the Deadwood Warrior came.
"Eri..."
As for where he is, Rhode has a certain idea in mind.
Before he met the deadwood warrior, Rhode guessed where he was by looking at the towering trees around him. At this point, after meeting the deadwood warrior, Rod finally determined that the location was Erie.
Eli is ruled by elves, and most of the territory is forest. There are a lot of magical creatures in the forest, such as centaur and sapling.
Among them, the deadwood warrior that Rod saw was the powerful guardian of Eli. The immense power, combined with strong vitality, makes the Deadwood Warrior extremely difficult to deal with. Rhode remembers how the deadwood warriors displayed their might on the battlefield.
The gathering place of the Necromancer, Diya, is on the edge of Eli, adjacent to the border of Eli. All the creatures in Eli have always hated the Necromancer. The Necromancer should be extra careful in the territory of Eli. Once discovered, they will be hunted down by the native creatures of Eli.
Rhode knows where he is, but he still does not know the current game period.
If you can know where you are and the current period at the same time, according to the previous life's mastery of the plot, Rod can follow the trend of the plot and obtain the greatest advantage.
Moving forward for a while, there was a damp feeling in the air, and as the feeling grew stronger, Rod knew that it was not far from the goal he had initially decided on.
Finally, the occlusion of the leaves in front was reduced, the light was bright, and a river appeared in Rod's sight. The sound of the rushing water sounded in Rod's ear, and Rod knew that he had found the river marked on the map.
According to the map, Rhode's next goal is to go to the nearest town along the river.
When he came to the river, Rhode looked at himself in the water. His short hair was scattered and he could not see the color. The flowing river could not show the specific appearance. There were blood stains on most of his face. , Scars after various scabs on the body.
Rhode laughed bitterly. Since coming to this world, he has basically been fighting. He has no time to organize himself. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he throws his broken clothing aside and comes to the river to clean it up.
