Returned to the Stronghold

It was three days later when Rhode and Anne returned to Deep Stone City.

Indeed, the self-recovery ability of Rhode's bloodline was clearly powerful. His body was full of mortal wounds when he first left the ruins. When he woke up the second day, more than half had recovered. And by the third day, they were totally unnoticeable. Rhode decided not to delay any longer and hurried his way back with Anne. Back to Deep Stone City, of course, he warned Anne not to mention about this incident. It was still a mystery regarding the ambush on Rhode at the Black Pine Ruins. And he was sure he wasn't the only unlucky one because after leaving the ruins, he risked returning to the main entrance of the ruins. The mercenaries corpses were nowhere to be seen. But from the remnant energies, he managed to deduce that their corpses were eliminated by the same type of energy that was launched at him.
