Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 242 The mutation deepens, and the dangerous return

Blood lines appeared from the monster's body, and a large amount of blood spurted out. It was cut into three sections by the thunder, its legs and tail fell to the ground, and its head flew not far away.

Even though it was so seriously injured, the monster was still alive. It wailed in a low voice, and the flesh and blood at the broken neck squirmed, trying to crawl towards the body.

Suddenly a long sword plunged into the soil, cutting off the fleshy tentacles, and a purple arc of destruction thunder shot out, forming a thunder field filled with thunder clouds around Chu Ming.

The black cloud fluttered and covered the figure of the monster and Chu Ming, making it difficult for everyone to see Ming's expression at this time.

But after Krono watched Chu Ming's thunderous and swift battle, his face and mouth never closed.

He never imagined that Chu Ming, who is also the mage tower of Wangcheng, is so familiar with fighting. To be honest, this is the first time he has seen people fight with dark creatures, and he was instantly attracted by Chu Ming's refreshing battle.

Looking at the terrifying aura around Chu Ming, Krono suddenly felt doubts in his heart.

"Isn't it the inferior mage talent that I said, how could it be... so powerful..."

For the purpose of protection, the mage conference did not announce Chu Ming's legendary talent for advanced mages, which made Krono doubt himself.

If he can be considered a genius, then what is Chu Ming like?

Until now, he had some understanding of why Master Evista asked him to follow Chu Ming. It was clearly not for him to protect Chu Ming, but for him to establish a good relationship.

Crono nodded subconsciously, and his face became more and more excited. After these few days of experience, Chu Ming had already left a strong and mysterious impression in his mind, and he did not resist this matter in his heart.

"Master Evista, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Thinking of his arrogant speech on the cloud ray before, Kronor blushed suddenly.

"If I had said it earlier, I would have hugged my thigh earlier."

"But it's not too late now, there is still a long time before the cleaning activity, hehe..."

In the place where the thunder light flickered, the thunder cloud gradually dissipated, and the crimson legal field like blood mist also retreated into Chu Ming's body. The scale monster has been burned into coke, but under the coke, there are faint flesh and blood wriggling, which shows that the monster is not completely dead.

Chu Ming frowned slightly.

"What kind of blood, what kind of power, can make the flesh of a creature have a terrifying recovery ability that is close to the characteristics of immortality."

"If this monster is promoted to legend, I'm afraid this recovery ability will become even more terrifying."

Although Chu Ming ended up being crushed in this battle, he also discovered the limitations of his own abilities in this battle.

With the blessing of knight power, spells and laws, his power can indeed reach the level close to epic, but as long as he encounters enemies with terrifying recovery ability or undead characteristics like golden scale monsters, he will fall into a bitter fight middle.

When he was a wizard, the way he dealt with the undead characteristic was to use taboo power to chew and erode the enemy's flesh, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying the undead characteristic.

In the face of those legendary creatures with huge physical bodies and near-undead recovery ability, he can slowly grind them to death with the power of taboo.

"If you want to deal with the undead characteristic, you must obtain the power that can erode the flesh... It seems that after going back, we have to see if there are related spells in the mage tower."

Chu Ming pondered for a while, then inserted the long sword into the monster's head, the lightning flashed, the flesh and blood on it jumped like grasshoppers, and a burning smell wafted out.

The monster's flesh and blood seemed to have been severely injured, retracting into the coke and lurking.

Chu Ming glanced at the scorched black flesh scattered around the monster, he knew that once he walked away, the monster would immediately come back to life.

At this moment, Mattie ran over with a weapon in hand, and she said with a serious face: "Mr. Ryan, let me help you look after it, I didn't help you just now."

Chu Ming did not refuse, nodded, left the spot and walked towards Krono.

Kronor got up from the ground and said with a sigh of relief: "This guy is finally solved."

Chu Ming shook his head and said, "Steve's degree of mutation is far higher than other creatures, even now he is not completely dead."

"Me and Mattie will guard here, and I need you to do me a favor."

Crono's eyes lit up, "Brother Ryan, just say it."

"I need you and Ai Qi to return to the legion stronghold to report the situation here to the epic mages."

The man froze for a moment, "Shouldn't we investigate the mountain of corpses?"

Chu Ming said speechlessly, "Do you think you haven't lived long enough?"

"Although we don't know who this mysterious bloodline came from, at least the source of our bloodline pollution here is that epic earth dragon."

"Nowadays, the blood pollution has suddenly erupted, and there may be terrible creatures appearing on the corpse mountain. If it passes like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

When Krono heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He found that the matter was indeed as Chu Ming said, and he thought too simply. If Chu Ming hadn't reminded him, he might have gone to investigate by himself.

The man thought for a while, then nodded solemnly: "I can't help much by staying here, so Ai Qi and I will go back and report first."

He paused for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "You are right, I acted like an idiot in front of actual combat, and I am also a hindrance here."

Crono patted the dirt on his body, he walked to the wellhead and helped Ai Qi up.

The knight said in shame: "Master Krono, I'm very sorry that I couldn't help you."

Krono shook his head and said: "Who told us to be unlucky to meet such a monster."

"Can you still move around? Let's go back to the camp and report the situation here to the epic masters."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will recover from this injury soon."

Krono supported Ai Qi and walked towards Chu Ming.

"Brother, let's go first."

Chu Ming nodded slightly, looked at Ai Qi, "Wait a minute first."

Facing Chu Ming's gaze, Ai Qi swallowed softly, thinking about the figure carrying the wrath of thunder in his mind.

"Ray...Master Ren, what's the matter..."

Chu Ming didn't speak, and a strong green light bloomed from his palm, and then the green light floated towards Ai Qi like a firefly, and slowly merged into his body.

"Well……"

A cool feeling came, and Ai Qi couldn't help making a comfortable sound. His body relaxed, and the injuries caused by the monster gradually recovered.

The man tried to stand up by himself, he moved his body that had fully recovered, his face was excited, and he cupped his hands to Chu Ming: "Thank you, Mr. Ren."

"Well, before it's dark, you should leave as soon as possible, the forest at night is not easy to walk."

"Then let's go first, Brother Ryan, be careful."

Ren waved to Chu Ming, and led Ai Qi to the forest outside the village.

The villagers returned to the village again after learning from the two people who had left that the monster had been wiped out.

Looking at the heroic figure of Chu Ming in the village, everyone felt joyful but at the same time complicated.

No matter how scary this monster was, he was also transformed by Steve. Although it was a good thing that the monster was eliminated, everyone was in a bad mood.

Especially Steve's son Pierre, when he saw Steve's monster's mutilated body fell to the ground, the sadness in his eyes was even worse.

Chu Ming looked at the young man and said slowly, "I'm sorry for letting you see this scene."

"But what I want to say is that your father is a hero. He jumped out to fight against the dark creatures in the crisis of the village, and died in the confrontation with the darkness. We will remember his achievements."

Pierre was silent, raised his head and looked at Chu Ming with red eyes, "If you became a monster, what would you do?"

Chu Ming chuckled lightly and said, "A monster? I have been one too. If I can't control my own power, I might as well end my life vigorously and let those who dare to manipulate me pay the price."

As he said that, he patted Pierre on the shoulder, "Steve told me before he knew he was about to be swallowed up by darkness, he hoped you could become a knight, I don't think the mage meeting will reject a hero I suggest you take advantage of this opportunity."

As soon as these words came out, exclamations came from around, and the villagers all looked at Pierre with envious eyes.

Pierre lowered his head and didn't answer. He hadn't come out of his grief and couldn't listen to Chu Ming's words.

Seeing his distraught appearance, Chu Ming could only shake his head, and walked towards the village chief, Afshan.

Afshan was leaning on crutches, with a grateful smile on her wrinkled face, "Thank you sir for protecting the village."

Chu Ming said seriously: "The crisis is not over yet, the village is too close to the corpse mountain, maybe within a few days, this place will be surrounded by monsters."

"Notify all the villagers, pack your bags, and prepare to evacuate from here."

Afushan's face changed when she heard the words, and she hurriedly asked Chu Ming, "Excuse me, my lord, where are we going to evacuate?"

Chu Ming glanced in the direction of the forest and replied: "Follow us back to the legion's garrison first. There are powerful mages there to protect you. You will not be in danger for the time being."

After hearing this, Afshan bid farewell to Chu Ming and left worried.

When the old man told all the villagers that the village was going to be relocated, expressions of astonishment appeared on their faces.

However, the mountain of corpses is near the village, and disasters may occur here at any time. In the case of life safety being threatened, the villagers did not object, but nodded, and hurriedly walked towards the wooden house.

After the noisy crowd left, only Chu Ming and Marty were left in place.

The maid said worriedly: "Those monsters will come to attack the village at any time, Mr. Ren, why don't you leave first, I will guard here."

Chu Ming shook his head and said, "I understand your thoughts, Mattie."

"Don't be so troublesome. If there is any danger, I will escape by myself."

As he spoke, he ignored Mattie, who was hesitant to speak, and came to an open space alone.

After confirming that there was no danger in the surrounding area, Chu Ming held the long sword with both hands, the blood force was surging in his body, thunder clouds gradually filled around his body, and the flashing arc spread to the ground, leaving scorched black marks one after another on the soil .

His breathing moved with his body and became long and rhythmic. After a while, he seemed to have sensed the slight opportunity in the dark. Chu Ming stared, and suddenly swung the long sword in his hand.

boom! !

The thunder raged like a long dragon waving out from the tip of a sword, but it seemed that something was missing, the aura in his body weakened before it reached its peak.

"Isn't that enough..."

Chu Ming murmured, shook his head helplessly, and walked back.

Although the battle with Steve was not smooth, it also made him feel a little more in his heart, and the circulation of blood power became smoother.

It's just a pity that the accumulation was not enough, and this breakthrough failed.

However, according to the progress of his chivalry, he might be able to break through the dark blue level in a few days, which is much faster than the months he expected before.

"Sure enough, it is easier for knights to improve in actual combat."

……

When Chu Ming returned to the village, the sky gradually dimmed.

I don't know how many dangers are hidden in the forest at night. He was not sure that he would lead the villagers through the forest safely. After discussing with Afshan, he decided to stay in the village for one night and set off until the next morning. .

After arranging everything, Chu Ming returned to the place where Sti's body was.

Although the flesh and blood had completely lost their vitality, this tireless maid was still waiting by Chu Ming's instructions.

Lightning flashed out in the dark night, and Chu Ming completely burned the inactive piece of meat into coke, eliminating the possibility of the monster cheating on the corpse.

After doing all this, Chu Ming looked at Marty, "I don't know how many dark creatures are around here, maybe they will attack the village at night, we have to keep watch tonight."

Mattie clenched her weapon and looked at Chu Ming seriously, "Marty is ready at any time."

Torches were lit on the wooden walls, and the village guards tirelessly patrolled round and round.

As soon as they found out about the situation, they would report it to Chu Ming and Chu Ming. At this time, Chu Ming would make a thunderous move to deal with the dark creatures approaching the village.

……

The night time passed quickly. When the first ray of sunlight rose from the forest in the morning, the dark golden scales on the monster's body reflected the shaking golden light. dark creatures.

"Scale again... Could it be that there are no normal creatures in this forest?"

Chu Ming casually threw away the corpse of the dark creature with a serious expression on his face.

Throughout the night, he wiped out dozens of dark creatures. The frightening thing is that none of these dark creatures had their blood polluted.

This made Chu Ming realize that the situation on the corpse mountain might become more serious.

"There is no time to delay, we must set off immediately."

At this moment, it was not yet full light, and Chu Ming returned to the village to ask Afshan, who had been up all night, and the village guards to knock on doors from door to door, and let the villagers gather in the square.

It was still early, and Chu Ming urged them to leave so urgently. Afshan naturally understood what was happening, and she didn't dare to delay, and quickly organized the villagers.

Chu Ming glanced at the panic-stricken villagers, fixed his eyes on Mattie, and ordered: "After the team starts, I will lead the way in front, and you will prevent dark creatures from behind. If there is an emergency, please notify me immediately." Me, don't be brave."

Mattie nodded and walked obediently to the back of the line.

After everyone arrived, the village guards, under Chu Ming's order, protected the villagers in the team.

With a wave of his hand, everyone left the village and walked towards the legion stronghold.

Since it was still early in the morning and the sun had not fully risen, the forest was damp and foggy everywhere.

The team walked into the forest and plunged into the mist. The villagers looked back at the black shadow of the village in the mist from time to time.

Some villagers couldn't help sobbing and crying at the thought of leaving the village where they had stayed all their lives.

In this sad atmosphere, everyone drifted away, and soon the village could not be seen.

Chu Ming headed back along the way they came, but their journey was not smooth. Compared with when they came, the whole forest became much more dangerous because of the change of corpse mountain. Even some ordinary reindeer were inexplicably killed. The blood was polluted and turned into a scale-covered monster.

puff!
Chu Ming slashed across with his sword, and the deer head flew into the forest. Its remaining body stood there quietly for a few seconds, and then continued to attack Chu Ming.

He frowned, and kicked the corpse into the forest.

What troubled Chu Ming was not these polluted recovery abilities, and he didn't plan to get entangled with these creatures in the forest.

It's just that the reindeer was originally only a gray level, but with the blessing of this blood, it actually reached a dark green level.

You must know that at the beginning, the power of the dark creatures polluted by blood veins that Chu Ming had seen not only would not change, but some would even be affected by scales and lose the ability to fly like the faint crow.

But it was different now. It seemed that after one night, the influence of the mysterious blood on the creatures became more serious.

If this continues, it will be a matter of time before epic creatures are born in this forest.

Chu Ming was thinking while advancing, "Steve followed the hunting team to touch the corpse of the earth dragon three days ago, and his degree of mutation is the deepest I have ever seen. Now the creatures in the forest are also vaguely moving toward A very deep trend of abnormal development."

"Does this mean that the factor that affects the degree of mutation is time. The mutant creatures I saw yesterday should have just been contaminated by the mysterious bloodline. Now that the next day has passed, they are also in the mysterious bloodline just like Steve. Gained strength."

Thinking of this, Chu Ming felt very dignified in his heart.

However, he didn't show any worry on his face. If these villagers knew about it, it might cause a panic.

The sun gradually rose from the sky, but under the influence of the black fog, the light in the forest was still very dim, and the fog did not dissipate for a long time.

boom……

Suddenly there was the sound of fighting behind the team, and everyone looked over in a panic, only to see Mattie calmly splitting a dark creature in half, and she didn't even notice the blood splashing on her face.

Chu Ming glanced at Mattie, nodded to her, then turned his head and kicked the dark creature blocking the team's footsteps into the forest.
