Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 226 The rainy event, the whirling rain demon

After driving for a few hours, the wilderness train entered an old metropolis, vines and giant trees grew in the reinforced concrete forest, and the gray ruins intertwined with the green forest, giving people a feeling of another world.

Yu Yiming pressed his face to the window, observed the scenery outside carefully, and asked curiously: "Is this the city before the ancient trees came, and it doesn't look much different from the current one."

"By the way, Chu Ming, where are we?"

He turned his head to look at Chu Ming with his eyes closed.

The man opened his eyes, "What's the hurry, it's at least five days' journey from Liming City to Wushan City, where have you been?"

"Is it this far?!"

Yu Yiming cried out in surprise. He stared at the ruins outside the window for a while, and finally got bored and returned to his seat.

"It's still a long time, let's play cards."

Chu Ming took out a deck of playing cards and placed them in front of them.

……

Four days later, the train passed through one after another of ruins and wilderness camps, and stopped three times in other cities. After replenishing fuel and supplies, the train continued to Wushan City.

Wushan City is located closer to the Mythical Forbidden Zone, and the nearby foreign world resources are much richer than Liming City. The wilderness hunters there can even find wild magic plants in the forest.

Of course, being able to find magical plants does not mean that reality has a magical environment. They exist in the same form as cards. They do not grow naturally, but are projected from another world. As long as they are excavated, they will be turned into cards. .

However, the dark creatures near Wushan City are much more powerful than Dawn City. Epic creatures that are rare to see in Dawn City are everywhere here. Maybe you can encounter an epic creature when you suddenly break into a creature's lair.

Going further from Wushan City to the depths of the myth forbidden zone, you can even see legendary creatures and even myths.

At the end of the Wushan Mountains, there has been a legend of the whirling rain demon. People speculate that it is because of the existence of this mythical creature that the climate near the Wushan Mountains has been changed, making it rainy all year round.

As the bridgehead facing the forbidden zone of mythology, Wushan City has a very important position in the alliance. Three of the twelve mythical card masters in the Eastern Continent are guarding here. The purpose is to monitor and develop the forbidden zone of mythology, and to seize the lost territory of human beings from the hands of dark creatures. return.

As soon as the wilderness train entered the area of ​​Wushan City, the weather outside the window suddenly darkened. Light rain pattered on the window, and there was a dull thump, thump, thump.

"You guys, look there, there seems to be a dark creature there."

Yu Yiming pointed to the rainy forest path outside the window, where a hazy black shadow was walking towards the train.

The creature appears to be walking slowly, but it can actually keep up with trains.

Chu Ming observed it for a while and said, "That should be an epic creature."

"We encountered epic creatures when we first came here, and we don't know whether to say it's lucky or unlucky."

As he said that, hesitation appeared on his face, "It stands to reason that epic creatures have strong territories, and generally they won't leave their territories easily."

"And every month there will be legendary card masters looking for the train tracks to clean up the creatures near the tracks. Logically speaking, no epic creatures should appear here."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Ming pressed the red button on the wall.

The horn under the red button sounded, "Hello, what can I do, sir?"

"This is carriage No. [-]. We saw an epic creature approaching from the eight o'clock direction of the train."

"Thank you for your message, there are already professional card masters to deal with it, please rest assured, I wish you a pleasant journey."

The call was hung up, and the three of them looked out the window, only to see a sun-like light cannon suddenly lit up on the train.

call out!
The light cannon quickly approached the epic creature and pushed it back into the forest. A few seconds later, there was a rumbling sound, and the mud splashed over, falling on the train like raindrops and making a rattling sound.

Liao Qing held Susanna in his arms, and said worriedly, "Is something going to happen?"

The scientific research major that the girl applied for is the study of dark creatures. She has a fairly good understanding of dark creatures, and feels a little uneasy about the abnormal behavior of epic creatures leaving their lairs.

Chu Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's fine if it's a dark creature below the epic level, but if it's an epic creature that hit the train, maybe something happened near Wushan City."

"No way." Yu Yiming opened his mouth wide and clasped his hands together. "God bless, bah, no, order bless, this is the first time I go out, I don't bring such fun."

Chu Ming glanced at him, "It's just that an abnormal event happened. We may not be in trouble. There are legendary card masters on the train. It's useless to have many epic creatures, but the train may be affected."

As if to confirm what Chu Ming said, the speed of the wilderness train gradually slowed down, like a giant beast dormant, waiting for an opportunity in the rain, always on guard against an enemy attacking in the dark.

Hearing the rumor that the card master was guarding him, Yu Yiming felt relieved a lot. After talking to Chu Ming, he went out to buy today's lunch.

When only Chu Ming and Suzanne were left on the train, Chu Ming looked out the window, as if he was observing something.

Liao Qing stared at the man's clean side face, she paused in her heart, and suddenly remembered that Chu Ming still had a legendary card in her hand. Thinking of this, the girl who was at a loss for the first time when she left Liming City faced unknown events. An inexplicable sense of security emerged.

"Not good..."

Chu Ming murmured, and looked at the black shadows approaching the train in the rain curtain.

These shadows are nothing but dark creatures.

Among them, the breath of most creatures is at the blue level, a few are at the epic level, and no legendary level has been seen so far.

These creatures, who would normally be caught in an endless death struggle when they met, were peaceful at this moment, and gathered together towards the direction of the train.

"A horde of beasts actually formed... But their purpose doesn't seem to be the train, they seem to be avoiding something..."

Just as Chu Ming was still thinking, the whole train vibrated and stopped moving.

Liao Qing froze for a moment, and was about to ask, when a gentle female voice sounded from the loudspeaker, "The train track was destroyed by dark creatures, and the train stopped running temporarily. Passengers, please return to your seats and wait for the staff to deal with it."

After the voice fell, thunder suddenly flashed outside the car window, illuminating the dense beast horde in the darkness.

Amid the noisy rain, there was a loud bang, and the Thunder Snake landed in the forest, ravaging the entire forest. In the rain, the forest ignited an orange-red flame, embellishing the gloomy forest with a ray of light.

Liao Qing was surprised: "The legendary card master made a move?"

"should be."

"However, judging by the density of the beast horde, it is estimated that the train will not be able to move for a while. We have to wait until the abnormal events in the Wushan Mountains are over."

Liao Qing patted his chest, said with a sigh of relief: "It's fine."

After a while, Yu Yiming and Luther returned to the private room, hugging several plates of food, he said with a smile: "Let's eat first, I guess we will spend the night here today."

Chu Ming nodded and summoned Ge Hai and the others.

Outside the train, it was raining, and dark creatures rushed towards the train like a tide. The sound of roaring and panting was accompanied by the reverberation of furious thunder in the rain. A trace of white smoke.

In the train, the lights were bright, and several people were talking and laughing, enjoying the hot food on the table.

After enjoying lunch, the time gradually came to the afternoon, but the dark beast tide still had no intention of stopping, and the sky became darker and darker. It was obviously only afternoon, but it was pitch black outside, only the searchlights emitting white light from the train, the silver thunderbolt, and The fire that still burns in the forest brings light to this dark world.

Susanna lay her paws in front of the window. She stared at the dark beast tide outside for a while, frowning slightly.

After thinking for a while, she jumped off the ground, came to Liao Qing, and whispered a few words to her.

Liao Qing was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly looked at Chu Ming.

Concerned that Yu Yiming was still talking and laughing with Ge Hai, she turned on her phone and sent Chu Ming a few messages.

Liao Qing: "Brother Chu Ming, something bad seems to have happened."

"Susanna said that she smelled some chaotic and evil aura from some dark creatures. It seems that it's not just the power of blasphemy, but also the power of other evil gods."

drip...

Chu Ming's cell phone screen lit up, and after seeing a few messages sent to him by Liao Qing, he thought about it, and said to Yu Yiming, "I wonder if it's time for dinner."

"Where did you order that barbecue today? I still want to eat it."

"When you say that, I seem to be hungry too." Yu Yiming turned around, "I'll go and see if there is any more."

The man stood up and led Luther out.

After only Chu Ming and a group of cards were left in the private room, Chu Ming took out a card wrapped in red stripes from the card bag under the watchful eyes of Liao Qing and Susanna.

Liao Qing and Susanna looked at each other in shock.

Chu Ming glanced at them, did not explain anything, just threw the card out, golden light shone, and a wizard in a gray robe with taboo and chaotic aura came out from inside.

Susanna covered her mouth with her paws, her voice stammered, revealing a touch of excitement, "Na...Narend...Master."

Narende, who was manipulated by Chu Ming, nodded to her and stood quietly behind Chu Ming.

Chu Ming looked at Edel and said, "Stay here, if something happens, you can take care of it. Allen and I will go out to see what's going on outside."

Edel smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Chu Ming nodded and lay on the bed. He turned his face sideways and said to Liao Qing: "I'm going to go out and see for myself with a seance. If Yu Yiming comes back, you can say that I fell asleep."

"Also, don't tell anyone what happened today."

In fact, even if Liao Qing said it would be fine, the legendary strength could already protect himself, but it would cause a lot of trouble because of his identity leakage.

Liao Qing nodded vigorously, "I won't say anything."

"Well, see you later."

Chu Ming closed his eyes, and Narende's eyes lit up with a gleam.

"Alan, let's go."

With a slight wave of his hand, a light blue flame ignited, enveloping him and Allen.

In the astonished gazes of Liao Qing and the others, a touch of blackness appeared, and Narende and the two disappeared into the train.

……

clap clap clap...

The fine raindrops fell on the forest, the exposed rocks on the mountain loosened, and fell into the forest with a bang. The sound of being hit by flesh and blood, and the angry roar of dark creatures came from the forest.

A night curtain appeared on the cliff, and Chu Ming and the two walked out of the stream with raging fire on their bodies.

The cold rain dripped down, ignoring the blue flame spirit clothes and soaking the wizard robes on them.

Chu Ming frowned slightly, and tapped on his chest, a wave of golden light shook out, and the rain and water vapor were instantly dispersed. In the ripples of golden light, the rain backed away and could not get close to the two of them.

Allen on the side looked down at the endlessly shining thunder not far away, as well as the raging beast tide and the train surrounded inside. He searched his eyes and saw deformed hands and feet growing from some dark creatures. There are fangs growing randomly in the mouth. These dark creatures have such strange shapes that it seems that they are inseparable from the black breath lingering on them.

Chu Ming confirmed the location of the train, and then looked in the opposite direction of the dark beast tide—the depths of Wushan Mountains.

He took a deep breath and said, "That's right, the abnormal event should have happened in the depths of the Wushan Mountains where there are rumors that there is a mythical creature called the Whirling Rain Demon. Some believers of evil gods seem to gather there."

Strictly speaking, although the Whirling Rain Demon is a mythical creature, it has not ignited a divine fire and has no believers. It has only reached the mythical level by virtue of its powerful racial blood.

Apart from the rare elemental creatures born in nature, rain monsters, there are also many legendary races, such as the familiar giant dragon, who can be promoted to mythology by blood.

In the age of mythology, some giant dragons relied on gathering faith and igniting divine fire, and were called dragon gods by mortals, while some giant dragons relied on their own blood power to forcibly break through the confinement of power and reached the mythical level. Dragon King.

The Whirling Rain Demon follows the same path as the Dragon King, it follows the path of blood, so after projecting the reality, it can descend into the world without faith.

This whirling rain demon existed in the myth age of another world, before Chu Ming rewrote history.

After she appeared, the Wushan Mountains often experienced continuous rain for several days.

At the beginning, the Card Masters Alliance was also worried that this Myth, who was close to the city of the Human Alliance, would attack humans.

But the facts proved that after this whirling rain demon came to the world in the form of darkness, he did not completely lose his mind.

According to the research of the Darkness Research Institute, elemental life forms like the Whirling Rain Demon seem to have unique advantages when fighting against the darkness, and will not be completely eroded by the darkness.

It's just that darkness is not good. Even if the whirling rain demon can resist the erosion of darkness with her elemental body, she will still fall into a state of madness controlled by darkness from time to time.

According to many years of human research, the Whirling Rain Demon's sobriety period is mostly concentrated in spring and summer when there is plenty of rain, and after autumn and winter, it is basically a period of madness.

It is more than August in summer now. According to calculations, it should be the waking period of the whirling rain demon, but it has been a day since the wilderness train entered Wushan area, and the rain is still constant.

You know, when the Whirling Lich is awake, she can adjust the climate of most of the Eastern Continent and change the rainy season, but now the rain is still falling.

At the beginning, Chu Ming thought it was just the whirling rain demon who had just accidentally fallen into a period of madness, but now it seems that there may be a family member or believer of the evil god obstructing it.

Chu Ming thought for a while, and waved to Allen, "Let's move on, go in the opposite direction of the beast tide, and we should be able to find the place where the abnormality occurred."

After speaking, flames ignited on their bodies again and disappeared in place.

……

In the depths of the mountains, rainwater poured down from the clouds like a flood from unloading gates, and fell into a lake as vast as an ocean with no end in sight.

rumbling...

There was thunder, and the lake surged up, and it had overflowed into the forest.

Under the surface of the surging lake, a red light suddenly lit up inside, sizzling... The lake water and the red light converged, and a large amount of water vapor evaporated out. Only a loud sound of landslides and ground cracks was heard, the red light burst suddenly, and two figures emerged from the lake. Flew out and fought in a group over the lake.

Passing through the rain curtain, he looked at the two of them. One of them was wearing glazed silver armor. The armor emitted colorful light to illuminate the darkness. He held a crystal spear in his hand, and the light refracted from it, sometimes forming a red light that burned everything. , sometimes forming a golden light that dispels evil spirits, and sometimes forming a green light that heals the body...

On the opposite side of this crystal knight, a long-haired man with his chest exposed and all kinds of strange animal eyes growing on his skin stretched out his hand, and countless hands stretched out behind him, grabbing the knight.

The two were silent in mid-air, and started a duel that lasted for more than an hour.

Afterwards, an ancient evil breath emerged from the depths of the mountain range, and a giant with disgusting tentacles flew out, throwing several people flying out of him.

call out!
Boom!
Four figures shot into the forest, the trees collapsed, and several deep marks were left on the ground.

Around the long-haired man with animal eyes, the black mist gradually gathered. A hunched human old mage, a thin monkey man, and a giant with various strange organs appeared one by one.

The crystal knight on the opposite side felt something was wrong, the figure just paused, and then turned into a stream of light and fled towards the direction of the forest.

The old mage said cheerfully, "I only want to run now, it's too late."

He waved his staff slightly, and a barren and chilly aura appeared between the sky and the earth.

In an instant, the rainwater froze and turned into frost, and the streamer escaping from mid-air hit the ice prison. He just looked down, and his body was shattered layer by layer like ice, and then turned into a broken red card wrapped in golden light Fly to the distance.

In the forest, the four figures who were shot into the forest before gathered together again, hiding from the sight of several evil gods' relatives on the lake.

One of the mages waved his staff, and four phantoms of human card masters appeared.

If there were students from Wushan University here, they would definitely be able to recognize the identities of four people - Shi Lifeng, director of the card battle department of Wizard University, Luo Cheng, instructor of the card battle department, and Huang Xu and Jiang Zhu, non-commissioned officers of the city defense army.
