Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 240 Scale Pollution, Earth Dragon Corpse

"is it?"

Kronor scratched his head in doubt, and then ran with Ai Qi to check the dark creatures buried in the soil.

Chu Ming stood aside without urging, but was observing the surrounding environment to prevent any dark creatures from hiding in the dark and trying to attack them.

"what?"

Crono squatted in front of the pothole, making a sound of surprise.

Chu Ming and Mattie looked at each other, approached the man and asked, "What happened?"

Kronor, who was so nervous about the dark creature just now, directly picked up the dark creature whose head was a horse monkey and looked like some kind of scaled reptile.

He said with some uncertainty: "I remember that this creature is called a dark green ghost. It should look like a monkey. How could it have scales?"

"Let me see."

Chu Ming took a closer look, carefully observing the dark golden scales on the creature's body.

"The scales are really incompatible with its body." Chu Ming shrugged and said, "But it's not surprising that dark creatures have mutated."

Crono touched his chin and agreed: "That's true, maybe it's just that the dark creature has mutated."

He buried the dark creature again, and continued to set off with Chu Ming and others.

On the next journey, he encountered several dark creatures. In the process, he discovered that even though Chu Ming didn't know the types of these dark creatures, he could always find out where they were hiding and analyze them. weakness.

This made Krono realize that Chu Ming must have dealt with dark creatures all the year round, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be so familiar with dark creatures.

This also answered the doubt in his heart—why did Elvis send him to protect Chu Ming.

Maybe Chu Ming is some kind of master who studies dark creatures. The tower master sent him here to let him study hard.

Thinking of this, Kronor's heart was stunned, and he corrected his posture of seeking a scholar, and would ask Chu Ming whenever he had any questions about dark creatures along the way.

Obviously, although Krono discovered some of Chu Ming's secrets, he still misinterpreted Ives' thoughts.

The idea of ​​this tower owner is very simple. He wants the mage genius in his mage tower to get in touch with Chu Ming in the name of protection. There is always a common topic between genius and genius. If the Victoria mage tower can build If he got into Chu Ming's relationship, he would make a lot of money.

Facing Krono's question, Chu Ming answered as much as he could.

In any case, he has dealt with dark creatures for three lifetimes. Although he doesn't necessarily know the scientific names and types of these dark creatures, he can always rely on his combat intuition to quickly understand the habits and weaknesses of dark creatures.

And for Kronor, who spent most of his time in the mage tower, these are undoubtedly valuable practical experiences.

The more the two chatted, the more important Chu Ming's position in Crono's heart became. He also affirmed the fact that Chu Ming is a master in the study of dark creatures, and lamented the good intentions of Master Evista.

But in fact, Ives really didn't think so much...

……

The few people walked in the forest for about a day, and when they were about to reach the village, a dark creature with no eyes suddenly jumped out.

Before Chu Ming could make a move, Kronor waved his hand and shouted excitedly: "Master Ren, leave this little trouble to me."

After finishing speaking, the man raised his staff and summoned several mud waves to attack the Faint Crow covered with dark golden scales.

"Ah! Ahh!!"

The Faint Crow made a miserable cry and flapped its wings to fly upwards, but the dark gold scales on its body restricted its flying ability like bound ropes. It only flapped its wings a few times before falling towards the ground.

puff!
With a slap on the mud wall, Faint Crow instantly turned into a puddle of flesh.

Chu Ming and the others stepped forward, carefully observing the bloody pieces, and fell into deep thought.

Not surprisingly, this is already the third dark creature with dark golden scales that he has encountered in a day. One can be said to be a mutation, but this is the third.

"These dark golden scales are like foreign things parasitic on these dark creatures. It would be fine if they were like the first dark green ghost they encountered. The scales can also add some defensive capabilities to it, but this faint crow They are all affected by the scales and can't fly."

"Could it be that there is some kind of pollution source nearby that can make creatures grow scales..."

It seems incredible that different creatures can grow scales, but it is not impossible in another world.

For example, the upper blood can pollute the lower blood, just as Andrew absorbs the black snake blood to grow black scales.

Maybe there is some epic creature nearby that fell. After the corpse of this creature was eaten by these dark creatures, the blood was polluted.

Chu Ming told Krono his conjecture, and asked, "Do you have any way to detect the blood in its body? Maybe this news is also useful to the Magic Legion."

Kronor smiled wryly and said, "Blood detection is difficult even with the help of magic props. It's not that we can't classify these bloods, but we don't necessarily know these bloods."

"The bloodlines of dark creatures are too many and too complicated. Even if it is verified one by one, it may take hundreds of years to get results."

"However, we can first collect the flesh and blood of this Faint Crow and these scales and give them to the epic mages in the stronghold. Maybe these things will be useful to them."

Crono took out the potion bottle from the bag, and put part of the flesh and scales of the Faint Crow into it with tweezers.

"Go on."

Ai Qi continued to lead the way, and the group continued to approach the village.

As they walked deeper into the forest, the number of dark creatures with dark golden scales gradually increased. They even saw a twisted treant covered with scales.

After walking for three hours, the forest filled with black mist gradually disappeared, the black mist in front became thinner, and the outline of the village appeared in front of everyone, but the number of dark creatures did not decrease at this time, and they were even far away. He heard the screams of the dark creatures one after another.

"What are the dark creatures gathering here for?"

Just as doubts appeared in everyone's hearts, human shouts suddenly sounded in front of them.

"Quick, light up the fire!"

Chu Ming looked ahead, and suddenly flames lit up from outside the village, the black mist was dispelled a little, and the figures of villagers and dark creatures fighting near the wooden fence appeared in front of them.

"Is there anyone alive?!"

Chu Ming's heart shook, a faint invisible thunder flashed across his legs, and he ran towards the village quickly.

After the magic knight Ai Qi was overtaken by Chu Ming, he was stunned for a moment, but this was not the time to care about it, he quickly followed up.

Among the four, Kronor's body was of an ordinary person's body. After Marty glanced at him, he also ran towards Chu Ming, leaving him alone.

"Wait for me."

Kronor's face was startled, and he hurriedly ran up and tried to keep up, but before he had taken many steps, he was tired and out of breath, and waved his hands.

"Forget it, don't wait for me."

……

Outside the village, dozens of dark creatures are crashing into the wooden wall woven of thick logs, and the fire is burning under their feet, but the dark golden scales seem to cover them with battle clothes. No matter how high the temperature of the flames, these dark creatures As if he didn't feel it, he kept hitting the wooden wall.

"Pierre, we can't go on like this anymore, we must find a way to kill them."

On the crumbling wooden wall, an uncle dressed as a hunter gritted his teeth. He handed the bow and arrow in his hand to a young man named Pierre standing beside him, and jumped off the wooden wall.

"Uncle Steve, no!"

The village guards on the wooden wall all exclaimed. They just watched the hunter jump into the flames, facing several dark creatures.

"Roar!"

The dark creatures obviously also found the human who jumped down actively, roared and attacked him.

"It's over!"

Everyone yelled in despair, as if they had seen Steve's miserable appearance torn to pieces by dark creatures.

"what!!"

Who would have thought that a powerful force would erupt from Steve's body at this moment, and with a roar, he directly overturned a two-meter-high dark creature.

Under the scorching flames, the clothes on the man's body gradually turned to ashes, revealing the dark golden scales on his body.

Seeing this scene, instead of showing joy, the villagers became even more terrified, "It's a taboo. Steve has come into contact with the power of taboo."

A village guard gritted his teeth and shouted: "Whatever the taboo, let's get rid of these dark creatures first!"

After the guard yelled, everyone finally came to their senses. They picked up bows and arrows and raised boulders to harass these dark creatures with tough scales on the wooden wall.

It's just that Steve was still weak after all, facing the collision of the dark creature soon became overwhelmed, leaning against the wooden wall and panting violently.

"Steve be careful."

The villagers exclaimed, and before the man could react, sharp claws slashed across his chest, pierced through the dark gold scales, and pierced into his fragile flesh.

"what!!"

Howling in pain, the man was lifted up by the dark creature on its claws. The monster opened its slender mouth and was about to swallow him alive.

But before it could make a move, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and a thunderbolt shot from a distance, piercing through the dark gold scales and penetrating the head of the dark creature.

"Uh...uh..."

The monster fell to the ground with the man.

When such a change happened suddenly, everyone shrank their eyes and looked in the direction where the thunder light was howling.

"That seems to be... Lord Knight?!"

After the voice fell, a faint thunder light flickered in the darkness. Before a dark creature could realize anything, it was grabbed by the figure wrapped in lightning. With a click, its throat was directly crushed, and it was randomly thrown on the ground like a rag. .

"Roar!!!"

The other dark creatures finally came to their senses, grinning at the figure and letting out threatening growls.

"Are they all things contaminated by inexplicable blood?"

Chu Ming whispered and walked into the flames.

"It just happened to be solved together."

sizzle...

The blood power was running like a torrent, his eyes were dyed with thunder, and black clouds that could not be dispelled by the flames floated around his body.

In the next second, Chu Ming only left an afterimage on the spot, where the lightning passed, the dark creatures were killed by one blow.

In the depths of the darkness, as soon as Ai Qi and the others arrived, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The entire battlefield was like a thunderstorm, and the dark creatures were blown out with howls, their heads and bones shattered into pieces.

Ai Qi swallowed hard, and he felt unbelievable that such a crisp and violent battle would appear in the hands of a blue-level knight.

This kind of speed, this kind of power, even he didn't have much confidence to catch it.

And this kind of person still needs him to protect, is this a mistake?

The battle ended soon, and when Chu Ming's figure appeared again, there were already corpses of dark creatures everywhere.

Ai Qi also quickly recovered from his daze, and he quickly walked into a scorched battlefield to check whether the dark creatures on the ground could survive.

As soon as Mattie arrived, she ran directly to Chu Ming and stood by his side.

"We are saved!"

Cheers came from the wooden walls, and the villagers hurriedly opened the wooden walls, and went out to welcome several knights who came from afar.

At this time, Kronor just arrived beside Ai Qi panting, he looked at the corpses of dark creatures all over the ground on the battlefield, completely unaware of what happened just now, smiled and patted Ai Qi on the shoulder, "Ai Qi I didn't realize you were so capable before."

Ai Qi showed a strange look on his face, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "These dark creatures are all taken care of by Mr. Ren, and have nothing to do with me."

Crono froze for a moment, his face became a little embarrassed.

But when he remembered that Chu Ming alone could eliminate so many dark creatures, he was secretly surprised.

When Master Evista assigned him the task of protecting Chu Ming, he never said that Chu Ming was so powerful.

You know, there are quite a few dark creatures at the dark blue level. Even if he wants to get rid of these dark creatures, he has to come one by one. How did this guy do it.

Beside the wooden wall, Chu Ming ignored the villagers who came out of the village. He set his sights on the hunter named Steve who was lying on the ground.

Seeing the man's bare skin covered with dark golden scales, Chu Ming could even feel a strange aura of coercion from inside, this force even elevated the hunter from an ordinary person to a dark blue level.

It seems that this hunter's bloodline has been polluted more thoroughly, gaining some inconceivable power.

However, no matter how weird this force was, it couldn't heal the piercing wounds on his body.

The flesh and blood on the hunter's chest wriggled and wanted to heal, but because the injury was too severe, it didn't work at all. His breath became weaker and weaker, and even the flesh and blood gradually stopped wriggling.

Pierre, the young man who had received the old hunter's bow and arrow, hurriedly knelt in front of Chu Ming, weeping and begging, "I implore all my lords to save Uncle Steve."

"Although he touched the taboo, he did it to protect everyone."

Chu Ming glanced at Pierre, but he didn't have time to pay attention to what the young man said about the taboo. His right hand emitted a strong green light, and the greenness twitched, as if a new green leaf had sprouted in his hand.

savage growth.

He pressed his palm down on the old hunter's chest. Under the shocking eyes of the villagers, the three wounds pierced by sharp claws on Steve's body were gradually healing.

Half a minute later, Chu Ming dispelled the spell, and dark golden scales grew and covered Steve again.

The man's vital signs gradually returned to stability, his painful face became peaceful, and he fell into a lethargic sleep.

After doing all this, Chu Ming stood up and looked at Pierre, "What is the taboo in your mouth, and why doesn't your village leave here?"

The joy on Pierre's face didn't last long before he was stopped by Chu Ming's series of questions and froze on the spot.

"Ahem, my lord knight, let me answer."

An old voice came from behind the villagers, and an old woman on crutches came out.

Chu Ming looked at the old man, "You are?"

The old man smiled kindly and said, "I am the village chief of Boer Village. My name is Afshan Azad. You can call me Afshan, sir."

"My lords, please enter the village with me. It would be too impolite for a distinguished guest to stand here."

Chu Ming nodded, waved to Mattie and the others, and walked into the village with the old man.

The wooden wall door was slowly closed, and the unconscious old hunter was carried back by Pierre and placed in another house, while Chu Ming and the others followed Afshan to a shingled house at the end of the village.

Walking into the living room, the furnishings inside are simple, with only a few old sofas and a few cabinets.

The old man signaled Chu Ming and the others to sit down, then rummaged through the cabinet next to the stairs and found a document.

She handed the document to Chu Ming with trembling hands.

Chu Ming thanked him, took the document and glanced at it.

"Is this... left by the Magic Legion?"

Afshan nodded and said: "My lords don't know. When the dark beast horde invaded Thorn Flower County last year, our village was the only surviving village within a hundred miles because of the remoteness of the place and the shelter of forest trees. village."

"But there are dark creatures everywhere in Thorn Flower County, and we couldn't escape because of the beast horde."

"After the adults of the Magic Legion came, they wiped out the beast tide here, and asked us to keep an eye on the corpses of those dark creatures before leaving."

Chu Ming rubbed his chin and asked doubtfully, "Why didn't the Magic Legion burn those corpses directly, and let you guard them?"

Afshan said with a wry smile: "My lord does not know that the corpses of those dark creatures have been piled up to the size of a small mountain. Even after they die, their bodies can retain most of their vitality. No matter how they are burned, the corpses can grow back. .”

"But the legion was busy with tasks, and obviously didn't have time to stay here, so they left in a hurry."

"At the beginning, we have been guarding those corpses according to the orders of the adults. After half a year, most of the corpses have turned into skeletons. Only some huge corpses have not started to rot, and one of them looks like an earth dragon. body, even after so long, the golden scales on its body are still emitting light."

"We didn't care about this before, and reported to the nearby legion stronghold as usual, but a few days ago, a creature covered with scales suddenly appeared in the forest."

"After we realized something was wrong, the village was surrounded by these monsters."

"I suspect that these monsters changed after eating the corpse of the earth dragon."

After listening to the old man's statement, Crono shook his head solemnly, "I don't think it should be that simple."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone couldn't help but look at him.
