Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 248 Giant Tree Skeleton, Sacred Tree?
"what happened?"

Everyone's spirits trembled, and suddenly they felt a surging and strange aura appeared in the black and red world.

Miguel stared at the north, his face became solemn.

"It seems that not only those monsters, but the entire Thorn Flower County is full of the blood of the person behind the scenes."

After hearing what he said, Chu Ming's expression changed, and he looked at the grassland and forest around him.

I saw traces of red mist drifting out of the soil on the ground, and gradually condensed together, forming a strange thing that looked like tree roots and flesh and blood.

The fleshy tree roots danced like blood-red muscle filaments out of thin air, they kept drifting northward, and gradually condensed into fleshy tree roots that spiraled into a whirlpool.

Flesh and flesh crossed the golden barrier on Chu Ming's head in mid-air, with slapping sounds one after another. The blood-red flesh slapped on it, turning into a pool of blood mud, staining the golden barrier with bloodstains.

George's scalp was numb, and he shouted: "Everyone hold on tight, we will leave Briarflower County immediately."

After the man finished speaking, the ice-blue slime under his feet squirmed again, and fled southward at a faster speed.

Around everyone, the blood red gradually faded, and the surroundings returned to darkness.

The blood-red gathering brought gusts of wind, Chu Ming's long hair fluttered, and his gaze stayed on the huge blood-red vortex in the black-red world in the north.

The blood color converged into a solid body, like a vine or a pillar, continuously climbing up to the clouds gleaming with thunder.

Suddenly, a strange mental wave spread out from the blood-red vortex, penetrated the golden barrier, and transmitted the blood-red picture into the spiritual sea of ​​everyone.

As soon as Chu Ming regained his energy, he found himself in the center of the vortex that stirred up the blood. The place was densely covered with flesh and blood. There was rumbling thunder, and he could faintly see gloomy thunderclouds flickering beyond the blood.

"This is... the perspective of those monsters?"

A flash of enlightenment flashed in Chu Ming's heart, he felt the blood around his body became more and more intense, the monster just looked down, and the golden scales on its body continued to fall off, merging with the churning flesh and blood.

"This is like the transformation process of the giant golden tree..."

Chu Ming paused in his heart, suddenly remembered something, and his face changed wildly.

"Could it be that the main task of these four legendary creatures is not to expel the principality's mages, but to become the backbone of the vortex?!"

This thought flashed through his mind, quickly took root and sprouted, and firmly rooted in his heart.

Before Chu Ming could continue watching, flesh and blood spread up, gradually covering the monster's vision. He only felt his eyes go dark, and he withdrew from the strange state of mind.

Chu Ming's eyes became clear again, and he looked at the mages around him. Their faces were confused, and they seemed to have seen the scene just now.

The corner of Chu Ming's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to speak, suddenly that strange mental fluctuation struck again, but this time only he and those mages above the epic level saw the new picture.

His eyes became more and more blurred, the brilliance of the golden barrier distorted and disappeared from his eyes, and a smear of blood continued to enlarge in his vision.

A few seconds later, his perspective changed, and the scene in front of him became clear.

"This is?!"

In Chu Ming's eyes, the huge blood-colored vortex occupied the entire field of vision. Endless blood-colored bee pupae came, and the roots of the fleshy tree were thousands of kilometers long, circling to cover the mountains and cover the plains, covering hundreds of kilometers in blood-colored brilliance .

"Ha ha……"

An inexplicable laughter sounded from the mouth of the owner of the perspective, and the person looked up to the vortex of flesh and blood, and saw that the huge pillar of flesh and blood was like a vine that reached the sky in mythology, and on the giant pillar of flesh and blood, flesh and blood continued to grow. Climbing, spinning and stirring together, stirring the thundercloud into a huge vortex, and continuing to spread towards the sky.

"What the hell is this going to do..."

Chu Ming's heart tightened, and he stared at this scene, not daring to let go of any details.

This mental phantom lasted for a long time, and the owner of the perspective kept looking up at the swirling clouds, as if there was something worthy of his expectation that was about to come to this world.

Suddenly, from the man's perspective, Chu Ming saw a dark mysterious thing being dragged down from the sky by the wriggling flesh and blood tentacles on the giant pillar of flesh and blood.

You know, the shortest of those flesh and blood tentacles are several hundred meters long, and the longest can even reach tens of kilometers. They are extremely thick, and their maximum diameter is several thousand meters.

But even in front of such giants, the black corner of the mysterious thing is not inferior in size.

Chu Ming stared closely at the black, and as its huge body was dragged down, Chu Ming's heart trembled inexplicably, and he felt the simple and vicissitudes of life rushing towards him accompanied by the majesty that made people dare not look directly at him.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a vast and vast land, and he was spying on the vastness of the world like a tiny ant.

"Divine breath..."

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes, and had a basic judgment on the dark and mysterious things in his heart.

The flesh and blood on the flesh and blood tentacles continued to climb, sticking to the dark things, and directly pulled hard.

boom! ! !
The clouds collapsed in an instant, and the world seemed to be torn open a huge hole, revealing an extremely dark, starry sky that seemed to be empty.

"Uh……"

After Chu Ming saw the pitch-black starry sky, he frantically twisted and crossed the space, and the spirit of transmigration went straight to his head, and an indescribable strange aura raged in his mind.

On the slime mount, Chu Ming suddenly burst into sweat. He opened his eyes suddenly, covered his head in pain and lay on the ground. Like him, other epic mages also saw the dark starry sky and fell to their knees in pain. On the ground, some people even passed out directly.

And the only legendary mage present - Miguel also turned pale, and his expression became dazed.

"Mr. Ryan, are you all right?"

Mattie's worried voice sounded in his ears, and the maid supported his body that was about to fall to the ground, looking a little at a loss.

When Krono and the others saw that Chu Ming and those epic mages suddenly appeared in an abnormal state, he hurried to Chu Ming's side, intending to use his mental power to detect Chu Ming's state.

"Crono...stop it."

Chu Ming raised his head profusely with sweat, "Don't try to spy with your mind, you won't be able to bear it."

As he said that, he turned his head weakly to look at the maid who was supporting him, "Mattie, protect me, I may lose consciousness next."

He took a deep breath, and his consciousness was connected to that strange wave again.

The thing that seems to be a god is about to reveal its true body, how can Chu Ming be willing to give up halfway like this.

He intends to take the risk of spying on the starry sky and the sea of ​​spirit being crazily invaded, and watch the arrival of that dark thing with his own eyes!

Chu Ming's consciousness became blurred again, and he vaguely heard the sound of thunder resonating in his ears.

boom!
A flash of thunder suddenly exploded nearby, his heart shook, and his consciousness completely recovered. The huge pillar of flesh and blood that went straight into the sky, and the pitch-black thing also appeared in his eyes.

Above the sky, thunderclouds wrapped in mysterious things poured down, and the dark clouds continued to flow back, and the black giant gradually revealed its figure.

From Chu Ming's perspective, the scorched and broken roots of the pitch-black giant smashed through the clouds with the giant island of soil, and meandered to the distance, followed by an extremely thick, pitch-black trunk with a diameter of tens of kilometers. Falling from the sky.

Lightning flashed, illuminating its scorched black and vicissitudes of life. In a trance, Chu Ming sensed the aura of majesty on it, mixed with a little bit of crazy distortion.

He looked shocked, and murmured: "Could it be that this is the remains of an ancient god?"

High above the sky, the bloody vortex kept turning, and the giant pillar of flesh and blood gradually disintegrated and turned into countless tentacles attached to the broken roots of the scorched black giant tree.

From Chu Ming's perspective, those blood-colored tentacles connected to the broken tree roots seemed to become one with the scorched black giant tree.

"Ha ha……"

The laughter of the owner of the angle of view sounded again, it seemed to come from afar, and it seemed to be ringing in Chu Ming's ears. His mind was shaken inexplicably, and before he could react, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he lost contact with the strange mental fluctuations .

On the slime, Chu Ming's eyelashes fluttered, and he tried hard to open his eyes, but in the end he still fell into endless darkness.

……

I don't know how long it has passed, a hazy voice sounded in the silent darkness, echoing in Chu Ming's heart like a whisper, he suddenly woke up, the surrounding darkness was instantly shattered, the light burst out, and his consciousness was engulfed by white light and flew towards a place far away from the darkness.

Red Rose County, Burna City Mage Tower.

"Marty, Master Ren seems to be waking up."

"Excuse me."

Mattie and another strange voice sounded in Chu Ming's mind. He only heard the creak of the door closing, and gradually regained consciousness, and slowly opened his eyes.

The rock-like ceiling appeared in front of him. He just wanted to move, but he felt weak and weak, and the state of his mental state was not good.

"Mr. Lane, how are you feeling?"

Mattie's voice sounded again, Chu Ming turned his head and saw Mattie sitting beside him.

"Ahem, give me a glass of water."

The maid nodded, poured out the warm water from the kettle, and put it in front of him in a cup.

Chu Ming picked up the glass, rolled his Adam's apple, and drank the whole glass of water with a few gurgles.

He wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and looked around the room.

Unlike the shingle structure of ordinary houses, the room he is staying in now is made of square stones. Houses like this built with stones are either castles, mage towers or churches.

He didn't see the church and family emblems on the wall or other household handles, and he knew immediately that he was in a room in the mage tower.

Chu Ming put down the water glass, looked at Mattie, and asked, "Where are we now?"

With a relaxed expression on Mattie's face, she wrung out the towel and handed it to Chu Ming, saying, "After you fell into a coma that day, we fled to Red Rose County. Since most of the mages were not in good condition, Lord Miguel decided to let the mage team be in the Burger Take a temporary rest in the Mage Tower in Na City, and arrange those villagers here by the way."

Red Rose County belongs to the West County of the Principality of Violet, bordering on the county borders of Thorn Flower County and Violet County.

It seems that after the mage troops changed their route, they went southwest to Burna City, which is more prosperous in Red Rose County.

Chu Ming struggled to get up from the bed, wanting to move on the ground.

Marty supported him and said worriedly: "Be careful if you fall, Mr. Miguel said that you were affected by the darkness, and your body lost a lot of strength, so there is nothing serious."

Chu Ming waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I still understand my physical condition."

He dropped his feet to the floor, feeling a lot more at ease in his heart.

"call……"

The blood power in Chu Ming's body slowly began to circulate, recovering the lost strength and physical strength.

"Marty, how many days have I been in a coma?"

"For about three days, most of the mages in the mage team left Berna City and rushed back towards the king's city. Only we and Lord Kronor stayed here."

Hearing this, Chu Ming's expression changed slightly, "Mattie, can you find Krono for me, I have something to ask him."

Mattie nodded and saluted, and opened the door. Before leaving, she did not forget to tell: "Mr. Ryan, wait for me here, don't move around, so as not to cause any accidents."

Chu Ming nodded helplessly to Mattie, and after she left, he took a deep breath and looked at the palm.

The spell model in his mind moved quickly, and a green light grew vigorously like a new sprout, and the condensed magic power inside seemed to be stronger than before.

"I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise. Under the stimulation of the darkness, my mental power broke through the bottleneck and reached the dark blue level."

A look of surprise appeared on Chu Ming's face, and he readily accepted the breakthrough in strength.

It's just that a breakthrough in mental power can only add a little bit of power to existing spells. To truly transform spiritual power into real combat power, a new spell model must be imprinted.

When he was in Wangcheng, he memorized the fourth-level spells, and when his mental power broke through the dark blue level, he could imprint the spell models immediately.

But now he has changed his mind. He intends to put aside the prepared fourth-level spells and find some new ones.

After several battles in Thorn Flower County, he discovered that there are many flaws in the Thunder Cloud Profound Truth.

Although Thunder Cloud Profound Truth has a high burst, when it faces an enemy with abnormal recovery ability, the high burst power will appear a little weak.

Of course, this didn't mean that Yunlei's profound meaning was restrained by the recovery of life, but that Chu Ming's explosive power couldn't surpass the enemy's recovery ability.

After all, when he was fighting the epic-level giant scale bear, he was still just a blue-level knight. With such a huge disparity, it was surprising that he was able to hurt that giant bear.

Not to mention that after he advanced to Deep Blue, he almost beat the giant bear violently. If it was an ordinary epic creature, he would have been wiped out by his Thunder Sword long ago. can be solved.

"Sure enough, there is a huge difference between extraordinary creatures that can use the power of gods and ordinary extraordinary creatures."

Thinking of the strange recovery ability of flesh and blood, Chu Ming couldn't help showing a bit of solemnity on his face.

"In the face of these weird enemies related to evil gods, we can't be too cautious."

……

Ten minutes later, Mattie returned to the room, and she brought Krono and the others back.

Krono poked his head out through the door. Seeing that Chu Ming was fine, he walked into the room and said with a relaxed expression, "It's a good thing you're fine, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain to the Tower Master."

"By the way, do you have anything to do with me?"

Chu Ming stretched his body and came to the seat beside him, "I want to ask how the situation in Thorn Flower County has changed since I passed out?"

Kronor was taken aback for a moment, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he sighed: "It's not good, it's very bad."

"After you fell into a coma, most of the land in Thorn Flower County was occupied by the bloody vortex, and this vortex has no tendency to stop, and it seems that it will continue forever."

He paused, raised his head and looked at Chu Ming, "You should have seen that giant tree."

Chu Ming nodded, "Do you know its origin?"

Crono cautiously took out a few pages of excerpts from his pocket, "When I was still in Thorn Flower County, I heard some inferences about the identity of the giant tree from Miguel. , I read a lot of history books of the mythical era in the library to find out the identity of the giant tree."

Crono pointed to the rough map on the crumpled paper and said: "If the records in the book are correct, in the Age of Myth, there used to be a sacred tree kingdom named Paxi at the location of the Violet Principality."

Chu Ming raised his eyebrows, "You mean..."

The man nodded and said: "I suspect that the scorched giant tree in Thorn Flower County is the remains of the holy tree of Paxi in the age of mythology, but due to the lack of complete historical data, we don't know what happened to the kingdom of the sacred tree back then. , which led to the exile of the sacred tree's remains outside the world."

As he said that, he smiled wryly, "Actually, historians are not even sure whether the Holy Tree Kingdom actually exists. They just happened to correspond to the giant tree remains in Thornflower County."

Chu Ming pondered for a while and said, "Anyway, that giant tree is indeed a divine skeleton, but what is the person behind the scenes trying to use the divine skeleton for?"

Crono guessed, "Resurrect the holy tree?"

Chu Ming shook his head to express his ignorance, and he asked, "What did Miguel and the others say?"

Hearing Chu Ming call Legend's name directly, Krono's eyelids twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Anyway, Miguel was not here, even if Chu Ming opened his mouth to scold Miguel, he would not respond, and he was used to Chu Ming's imprudent speech.

Kronor thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Master Miguel just said some simple inferences. As for the decision-making, I can't listen to it, and only those epic mages can hear it."

"I estimate that the mage troops have returned to the royal city now. Lord Miguel will definitely hold a mage meeting to discuss this matter with the tower owners. I will go back and ask the tower owners. Maybe I can get some news."

"Such an incident happened in the principality..." Krono's face became sad, "I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future."

Chu Ming stood up and comforted him: "You are just a little mage, even if something happens, it will not be your turn to take the lead, so don't worry too much."

Upon hearing this, Kronor said in relief: "That's right, the fate of the principality is decided by the big shots above, at worst, I'll just go back to my hometown."

　My mind is stuck...
