The Last Dark King

Chapter 70 Ashes

Black ash evaporated from the monster's remains.

Not only the wreckage, but its derivatives, the scattered pus, and the diffuse poisonous mist were all turned into black ash.

The entire space was obscured by rising black ash.

This is the shattered black soul of the monsters born from the black mist, and it is the scene when their broken remains fall back into the void.

But Rogers didn't see a huge black line sinking into Rhodes' body.

The great joy did not go to his head, and he shouted: "Save people, save people quickly! Keep their spirits, the Healing Order will restore them."

But the only ones who could move in the entire field were him and Rhodes.

And Rhodes is a layman and doesn't understand medicine and treatment methods.

He could only go into battle by himself and let Rhodes deliver the medicine.

The mission was successful, and the tearing pain in his spirit did not hinder his good mood.

This is simply overuse of psychic powers, but it could also be a tainted soul.

After receiving a mental attack from such a powerful monster, you still have to be careful.

I have to go to the Church of the Soul soon.

Hopefully it won't cost too much.

During the treatment process, Rogers discovered that this young fully-clairvoyant, a future star, and the most valuable person in this battle, had a great lack of common sense.

His judgment on the injury of the injured was entirely based on appearance, and he behaved like a Shimu Xinzi, not at all like the legendary complete psychic.

For example, he was very worried about the soldiers who had broken legs and arms, fearing that they would become disabled in the future. He was not worried about Eve, who seemed to have no trauma, and thought that she would be fine if she slept.

"Rhode, your way of judgment is wrong."

Rogers said seriously that he was happy to see any promising future strong man of mankind.

It can help him become stronger faster, and he will be happier.

"To judge whether a person's injury is serious, we need to see whether his spirit is stable and whether he is disabled."

"As long as the spirit is good, the Healing Order can cure all his problems. If the spirit is damaged, things will be more troublesome."

Rhodes remembered his last experience in the sewers and nodded in agreement. He didn't know how Raistlin, Egger, and Caramon were doing. He wanted to go and see them when he had time.

The battle was not long, but it was very dangerous. The plague monster's strange abilities left a deep impression on him. Even though he was seriously injured and was attacked by a sneak attack, he was almost wiped out.

If it were a complete plague demon, how powerful would it be?

Rhodes couldn't help but feel happy.

The complete soul of such a powerful monster should be a powerful soul, right?

"Soul Firewood" should be able to be produced, right?

He has been waiting for a long, long time to ascend to the stars.

The day is finally coming.

What made him even more relieved was that no one in the hunting team died.

Only three people were in critical condition and five were seriously injured, but they all saved their lives under Rogers' treatment.

However, the conditions of the shield warrior and Eve were very unstable. The former was too seriously injured, with a shattered jaw, broken arms, and collapsed chest, which had endangered his soul. The latter had exhausted his spiritual energy and was overused, and his soul was extremely weak.

It needs to stabilize for a while before it can be carried out.

Rogers took another red soul crystal, lit an orange fire, and said, "Rhode, go to the place where the Plague Demon died and see if there are any ashes of the monster."

"Monster ashes?"

Rhodes knew that these were the embers left after the death of the monster, which contained a certain amount of soul power and could be collected and transported back to the royal city. It was a very important material.

The embers left behind by monsters that are too weak will dissipate quickly, while powerful monsters will sometimes leave behind embers that condense into clumps with special characteristics.

Since the Royal City is always fighting monsters in the black mist, monster ashes are not uncommon. Rhodes can even directly purchase many common monster ashes at a relatively cheap price.

But he had never seen such a powerful monster ashes.

Of course, not all monsters leave ashes behind. Rhodes has only seen one monster drop a piece.

Will this one exist?

Rhodes ran over quickly with anticipation.

Where the Plague Demon died, only thick embers were left. Its huge body seemed to be burned by fire, its soul turned into fly ash, and its body turned into embers.

After nearly a month of hard study, Rhodes is no longer a novice.

He knew that the monster embers with a certain soul power would not be blown away by the wind, while the ashes without any power would be scattered by the wind.

Rhodes exerted his lung capacity and blew wildly, causing dust to spread everywhere, but he didn't mind. Soon he found a lump of ashes that had condensed into lumps. It looked like a swaddling clothes, but there was no baby inside, only a ball of umbilical cord.

The image is a bit scary.

But Rhodes didn't care and carefully held it up. He could even feel the residual warmth coming from it with his palms.

For a moment, he wanted to keep this extraordinary monster's ashes as his own, but then he thought about his teammates risking their lives to stop the monster for him, and this idea faded away.

Anyway, there are no clear requirements for monster ashes in the current production, and any monster ashes can be used.

Although it can be used to create "soul ashes" and summon the plague demon to fight for him, it can only be used once.

Moreover, the soul of the plague demon needs to be used to make soul fuel, and it is impossible to use the ashes of the plague demon to make its summons.

Thinking of this, Rhodes shouted:

"I found it! The monster ashes of the Plague Demon."

Rogers held a small orange-red firelight in his hands and was carefully treating the shield warrior and Eve. He answered without looking back:

"Put it in the urn. This is our trophy and can be distributed when we return."

An urn is a box made of red stone, which can prevent the ashes from losing their power or becoming contaminated.

Rhodes didn’t have this thing with him, but he found it with Case——

This guy had just transformed into the Hulk, and his clothes were all torn, including his underwear. It was very eye-catching, but it also allowed Rhodes to see the red box tied to his waist at a glance.

After putting the plague demon's ashes inside, Rhodes asked, "What are we doing now?"

"I still need half a quarter of an hour. You can walk around the area to see if there is anything else to gain. This place was chosen as the lair by the Plague Demon. There may be something special about it."

Rhodes glanced at the deep ink-like darkness and hesitated: "I won't run into anything, right?"

After hearing this, Rogers was angry and funny:

"Aren't you a completely psychic person? Why do you ask this kind of question? I don't know why, but you always give me a very contradictory feeling, as if a child is driving a big hearse and I don't get used to it."

Rhodes scratched his head. He really hadn't fully adapted to his identity and power.

Rogers slowed down his tone and added, "Don't worry, there is generally no threat near powerful monsters."

This makes sense.

Rhodes then started investigating nearby with confidence.

He walked away for a moment, imitating Sherlock Holmes and picking up a ball of dirt from the ground.

It looked rotten, runny, and not sticky at all.

Under the soil are blue stones, which are relatively flat and do not look like natural creations. There are pits and corrosion marks on the stones, which look very old.

It resembles an abandoned cistern, but it's also ridiculously deep.

Rhodes couldn't help but ask: "Captain, is this the bottom of the sewer?"

"How is that possible? This is the surface. There are countless terrible things at the bottom, and we can't go there."

Rhodes clicked his tongue and said, "Why is there such a deep place under the Royal City? Why are the sewers built like this? It's like an underground city."

"I don't know either. Your question may be of great interest to the Ash Digger School."

"School of Ash Diggers?"

"He is someone who specializes in researching and exploring the history of the royal city."

Rhodes was a little surprised: "Don't you all know the history of the Royal City?"

"That's the strange thing about you." Rogers smiled: "What do you mean by 'you'?"

Rhodes' heart tightened, and he accidentally said the wrong thing, but fortunately he didn't care and said calmly.

"We really don't know the royal city. There are too many secrets in this city. Legend has it that it was a city built by giants in the era of gods. It was not ruled by humans until the era of fire. When the human hero Trorian placed the holy fire It was a later era that the Trorian Royal City was established here.”

"Too much of the inheritance of history has been lost over a long period of time. All major disasters have destroyed civilization. We can only discover some truths from the remaining records. The Ash Diggers School is a group of people dedicated to this matter. ”

"It is said that there are remaining records that show that the underground of the royal city is very deep and even connected to the abyss. Of course, I personally don't believe it. I would rather think that the giant's shit was too big, so they had to build this bottomless underground. System, it’s just that too much time has passed and the black mist has turned some giant shit into monsters, which has hindered our further exploration of the underground of the royal city.”

The last sentence made both of them laugh, and it also made the chill and confusion in Rhode's heart a lot less when he saw the huge darkness.

The two chatted casually and quickly became familiar with each other.

Rhodes soon learned that Rogers was a Jinworth student from the 1313th batch and was expelled for accidentally killing a teammate in an accident.

Although his soul characteristics are very good, integrating functions such as medical treatment, purification, dispersion, and strengthening, all legions refused to join him. The recruiter even told him directly that they did not need warriors who were difficult to hand over their backs.

He can only join the hunter group and become a hunter.

But because his soul characteristics are not suitable for this profession, he is only a second-level hunter so far.

Eve was an orphan he adopted during a mission. Her parents were brutally murdered by doomsday cultists as sacrifices because they refused to cooperate.

What's even more unfortunate is that after Eve was lucky enough to join the academy, she was also expelled from Kingworth Academy because of an unforgivable mistake.

This incident had a huge impact on her. For three years, she hardly smiled.

Rogers thought the only way to make her laugh was to find her a great husband. He thought Rod was a perfect fit and started bragging about how great Eve was.

Rhodes could only turn a deaf ear and walk further away.

He remembered that the Plague Demon was originally lying in a tomb, and maybe he could find something there.

Soon, Rod found the grave.

It was in the center of the area and had been blown to pieces, but the remaining remains still showed that the tomb was very large.

Rhodes took a look and saw that it was empty, with nothing in it.

Just as he retracted his head, his heartbeat suddenly skipped half a beat.

A strong feeling of palpitations came, something in the tomb was attracting him!

And this feeling is very familiar to him!

This...is this a fragment of a dream?

But I didn’t see the lightning pattern? There are no cult rituals here either.

The feeling of calling is getting stronger and stronger, just like that day.

Rhodes couldn't help but jump down. The moment his feet landed, he felt a familiar burning sensation, as if something hot had been inserted into his body.

Everything went dark, and several stagnant pictures appeared in front of me:

In the bottomless darkness, a huge tomb lay quietly in the center.

Unidentified objects entered or exited one after another.

Until a yellow-green shadow flew into the grave.

The picture disappears and the strange feeling fades.

Rhodes came back to his senses. The information revealed by the picture this time was very simple. There were a large number of unknown monsters coming in and out of this tomb, and the Plague Demon was the last one.

Rogers' call was heard in the distance: "Rod, where have you been?"

Rhodes did not answer, but raised his right hand, and the lantern on his waist illuminated the back of his hand.

On the back of the hand, black lines crisscrossed up and down, forming a huge pupil.

The eye pattern appears again!

It’s exactly the same as what I saw when the relocation team in Hongshi Village was destroyed!

How is this going?

Are there two altars?

Countless speculations echoed in his mind, preventing him from answering Rogers' call immediately.

Tens of seconds later.

"What are you doing here?"

Rogers appeared over the tomb, a ball of orange fire floating overhead, lighting them up.

"Why don't you answer me?"

Rhodes was awakened from his thoughts, forced to put away his thoughts, and smiled awkwardly; "I was too focused, I thought I could find something here."

Rogers' face turned pale and he said unhappily: "Your abnormality is very dangerous! Sudden silence and strange behavior are all signs of infection and corruption. Under tense circumstances, you may be infected. Direct attack."

"However, our operation is indeed very dangerous. I suggest you go to the Soul Church for a comprehensive and in-depth examination when you return. Abnormalities in the soul are the most dangerous. Discover them early and treat them early. Once the corrosion deepens, you can only take red pills. ”

Rhodes felt horrified. Rogers' words reminded him of the tester during the Trial of Fire.

He shook the thought away and did not think about the scene when the poor man's ashes were put into the red box.

"Are they in stable condition?"

Rod asked.

"Can we go?"

Rogers nodded: "It's stable, let's go back quickly. Without Eve, I really can't stay in this stinky place for a second. So, Eve is the most perfect woman, even shit smells good." of……"
