NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26
Chapter 26
after one day.
Rod was standing outside the tomb, waiting for the vampire to return from the tomb.
Rod remembers that, similar to creatures like vampires, there should be a special prop in the sleeping coffin. As the tomb was full of gas produced by the flames, Rhode could not enter it himself, so he could only let the vampire in and take it out.
As the vampire moved the barrier in the tomb, Rod also recalled what had happened before.
At the end of the previous day’s battle, Rhode planted a spiritual mark in the dying vampire consciousness. Under the pressure of death, the vampire surrendered to Rhodes.
With the spiritual imprint, Rhode can fully command the vampire. It can be said that the life and death of the vampire is completely controlled by Rod at this time.
Mastering the spirit mark is equivalent to mastering everything about the undead creature. With the spirit mark, the necromancer can control the undead creature to do anything, regardless of the type of the undead creature.
Undead creatures with their own consciousness, even if they choose to be loyal to the undead lord, will not be easily planted by the undead mage.
Undead creatures like vampires will not be willing to be controlled by the necromancer unless their lives are threatened.
The spiritual mark of the vampire occupies a total of 3 spiritual attributes of Rhodes.
Based on the previous experience of controlling undead creatures, Rhode knew that if he chose to kill a vampire, he could get 300 experience points.
As the character level increases, more and more experience points are needed to upgrade the rank. 300 experience points, for the current Rhode, can only improve 1 character level.
With the strength demonstrated by the previous vampires, Rhode is confident that by controlling the vampire, he can easily gain more than 300 experience points.
When checking the system log, Rod also saw his achievements in the battle.
“You got the racing achievement [Rest in Peace].”
“[Rest in Peace]: All the undead creatures you controlled (at least 10) died in a battle. The basic reward is 2 points of control spirit.”
“You got the racing achievement [Conquer the Undead].”
“[Conquer the Undead]: Control an undead creature one tier higher than you. The basic reward is 2 points of control spirit.”
The control spirit brought by the racing achievement allows Rhode to return the spiritual attribute of controlling the vampire. On the contrary, Rhode’s control spirit has increased by 1 point.
After the battle, the seriously injured vampire forcefully swallowed the flesh and blood of the remaining undead creatures with the only remaining life force, and then fell into a deep sleep, and did not wake up until a day later.
The vampire after awakening showed the powerful immortality attribute of undead creatures. A large amount of flesh and blood allowed the vampire to recover. Although the combat power did not return to its peak state, it was already able to move freely, and there was no sign of yesterday’s severe injury and dying.
While waiting for the vampire to wake up, Rhode not only meditated, but also sorted out the items he had obtained.
After returning the items placed next to the tomb into the space ring, Rod doubled the other copy of “The Basics of Pathfinding” obtained from Elotter, and found two pieces of parchment between them.
Rod took it out. The first piece of parchment is a bit worn out, and the paper has a dark brown color. Based on the experience of previous lives, Rod knows that this is a map of the continent, but most locations only have a rough topography and a place name.
The second one is more complete. It depicts some terrain and landmarks represented by various partial symbols. Most of the positions on the paper are empty. Rhodes guessed that this should be the map near here drawn by Elliott.
After reading “The Basics of Pathfinding”, Rod was able to understand the map drawn by Elliott based on the landmark terrain recorded in the book.
After studying for a long time, Rod understood the range expressed by this map. The range shown on the map is not too large, it is almost based on the divergence of the tomb, and even the villages and towns around the tomb are clearly marked.
At this time, Rod observed that an X was drawn under several village signs on the map. Rod knew that this was the village destroyed by Elott.
In addition, it seems to be to remind myself that Elott’s map has obvious warning signs in all directions.
After reading “The Basics of Pathfinding”, Rod also received a system prompt.
As in previous lives, all special skills are difficult to acquire through learning. After reading a book, Rhodes only gained 3% progress in primary pathfinding. But there is no difference between 3% and 0. As long as you don’t spend skill points to learn pathfinding, it still has no effect.
At this time, Rhodes, who was waiting for the return of the vampire, began to check his character attributes:

When Rhode was checking the attribute panel, the vampire also brought up the props Rhodes wanted, and returned to Rhode from the tomb.
Rod took the props that the vampire had handed him in his hand to play with.
This is a black crystal with a rough surface. A large part of the middle of the crystal is worn out, and the inside is muddy. The flame did not bring any damage to it, on the contrary, the crystal was releasing death energy outwards all the time.
Rod knew that this was the prop he was looking for, the Revenant Crystal.
The Revenant Crystal will release death energy all the time. Based on this characteristic, whether it is to transform the undead creatures or upgrade the level of the undead creatures, it can have a good effect.
This kind of props is generally common in Diya, favored by necromancers, and expensive. Just like this piece in Lord’s hand, even if it is damaged, there is not much energy left in it, and it needs hundreds of gold coins to get it.
Really high-purity Revenant Crystal, thousands of gold coins are difficult to obtain.
The output of revenant crystals is very small, and most of them are produced in the cursed crystal mine. How to make large-scale revenant crystals has always been the subject of research by the Necromancer.
Putting the ghost crystal into the space ring, Rod led the vampire and walked towards the forest according to the record on the map.
Leaving the tomb where he was waking up, Rod’s direction was exactly the same as Elott’s direction when he returned.
