Chapter 300 Mutant Knight
"Hewen, has Marvin's team always only had more than 20 people?"

Li En lifted up the blower that had been overturned at the door, and looked through the broken door panel at the dark world outside the cave.

Even in a dark environment, Li En still has super vision. Without the obstruction of thick fog, he can see things within a range of 200 meters.

His eyes remained on the remaining carriages of the Iron Knights. Two of the carriages parked on the ice still had the Iron Knights' emblem hanging on them.

"I remember Malvern's team had about forty people."

Hewen Field shrank his neck and hid in the fox fur, rubbing his hands constantly, hoping to warm them up.

The considerate and strong maid Lolita held his hand, and he immediately felt the scorching heat of a furnace.

"Thank you."

Hewen Field looked grateful.

Lolita's cheeks were slightly red. She had just been in the sleeping bag, using her body to keep Hewen Field warm.

The relationship between the two has reached a new level.

"Oops."

Li En frowned slightly.

"We didn't ask the Ironclad Knights to leave any supplies behind. This group of people will definitely take away all the carriages. Carriages are already a rare commodity in the rift.

But they left behind two vehicles. It's possible that what was inside these vehicles wasn't supplies, but the bodies of their fellow Iron Knights."

"Corpses? Why didn't they burn the bodies right there? Why did they keep them in the carriage? Were they going to take them back?"

Hewen Field and Lolita looked at Li En at the same time.

"That's because the wagons carrying their food were likely destroyed in the battle, and these corpses were a ready-made backup food supply, so they were reluctant to burn them."

Inna said a terrible fact, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly became depressing.

"How can you eat the corpse of your companion?"

"Could it be that he died not long ago and there's not enough time to deal with it?"

"Yes, even if survival is difficult for people in the North, they shouldn't eat their own kind."

"This is against the law, how could they do this?"

"This is a crack, and the rules that need to be followed in the crack don't include cannibalism."

The adventurers were talking about it.

"Stop discussing this and get rid of these bodies."

Li En remembered that Samuel Love Moriah said that no team could leave the corpse in the crack, because the corpse would transform into a terrible monster within half an hour, a monster at least five times more powerful than when it was alive.

The adventurers who entered the rift were at least four-star knights. After their alienation, their strength increased fivefold, almost approaching that of a seven-star knight like himself.

Just thinking about it makes me feel that this is a pretty scary thing.

"Bang-dang-dang"

Suddenly, a small sound was heard from inside the carriage.

The adventurers immediately tensed up, holding their weapons and approaching the carriage cautiously.

Twenty corpses with pale faces and blue eyes rushed down from the carriage.

“Crack—”

The alloy iron chain that bound the corpse broke with a sound, and the thumb-thick lock ring disintegrated into a rain of metal fragments in the air.

These alloy chains are generally used to control large beasts and monsters. They are said to be indestructible, but in front of them, they are as fragile as pieces of paper.

The hands of these dead knights were cut off. This was probably a protective measure taken by the Iron Knights to prevent them from mutating.

Unfortunately, even without their hands, they were still very agile, and their legs were much faster than other knights.

As they ran at high speed, sharp ice blades extended from the gaps in their arms, replacing their broken arms.

Before the adventurers could react, they were attacked.

The mutant knight bit the arm of the leader of the Du Chong Adventure Group. The arm of the five-star glory knight was ruthlessly bitten off, and ice decay appeared on the wound. His originally super strong self-healing ability was also blocked by this icy corrosion force, and half of his body was frostbitten.

"Damn, this monster's power definitely exceeds that of a six-star knight."

The leader of the Duchong Adventure Group roared angrily and swung the machete in his hand, slashing at the mutant knight.

The mutant knight easily avoided the sword attack by turning his body to the side. His speed was far faster than that of the leader of the adventure group.

Other members of the adventure team who were closer to the mutant knight were also attacked.

The two low-level adventurers didn't even have time to raise their shields. One of them had his chain mail easily picked open by the zombies' ice blades, and the other mutated knight's knee directly smashed his chest.

The flying rib fragments were covered with white frost due to the low temperature before they even hit the ground.

The saliva brought out by the dying screams solidified into ice chips as soon as they came out of the mouth, and fell on the victim's body with a clanging sound.

Nancy and Inna were also in a tough battle. Although they had grown a lot during their adventure at sea, they were still unable to resist the power close to that of the Seven Star Knights and could only barely hold on.

Fortunately, these mutant knights don't seem to have any thinking ability. They fight only by relying on their strong physical qualities and do not use those fancy skills in front of them.

Sophie stretched out her hand and caught the snowflakes falling in the air. The snowflakes flipped in her hand, flew out, and quickly condensed with the surrounding air to form twenty frost spears.

The body of the Frost Spear was wrapped in spiral blizzard patterns, sparkling with dazzling brilliance in the firelight.

Sophie pressed down with her right sword finger, and all the spears simultaneously made a dragon roar-like sound of breaking through the air, accurately piercing the ice flame eye sockets of the alienated knight.

All the alienated knights had their spears thrust heavily into the ground of the spider cave, leaving spider-web-like cracks on the surface.

Their bodies began to freeze from the head into ice sculptures, and eventually shattered, accompanied by crisp cracking sounds, turning into ice crystal dust in the air.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

"Are you saved?"

"It's...it's the power of the Ice Witch."

The two leaders of the adventure team, including Noah, were injured. They were unable to deal with these mutant knights independently, but Sophie took less than a minute, or even just a few seconds, to deal with this group of monsters.

If everyone misunderstood Sophie as a magician when she used the power of ice last time, now there is no such thought at all.

No magician could use magic in such a dense period of time and cast such powerful ice magic without chanting.

This is definitely the Ice Witch that the Empire is currently looking for.

Who else can do it except the witch?
"Miss Sophie's identity must be kept secret, understand?"

Hewen Field suddenly shouted,

"If it weren't for protecting everyone, there would be no need for Miss Sophie to reveal her identity."

"Yes, Lord Heven Field."

After a brief silence, the adventurers answered in unison.

Although the witch betrayed the empire, the North has become independent and no longer belongs to the Holy Empire, so the witch and the North have no deep hatred.

The adventurers had been saved by Sophie many times, and they were not the kind of people who would repay kindness with enmity, so they naturally chose to listen to Hewen Field's words.

But the crack is so dangerous, and they are also worried that Sophie will consume too much magic power and lose control.

If the witch lost control here, or even died, and turned into a monster five times more powerful than before, it would definitely be a disaster.

"You don't need to worry about Sophie losing control. She won't lose control in the cracks. She is an awakened witch."

Li En saw the worried expressions on everyone's faces and comforted them.

"An awakened witch who won't lose control?"

Even Hewen Field was very surprised by the answer.

"Yes, the chances of an awakened witch losing control are greatly reduced, so there's no need to worry."

Hearing Li En say this, the adventurers finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Miss Sophie."

"Yes, thank you for saving everyone."

The adventurers said one after another.

The silver-haired girl nodded slightly and said nothing, her expression hidden in the knight's helmet.

She is not good at expressing emotions.

"Don't be too happy too soon. You were just bitten by the mutant knight and are all contaminated."

Li En looked at the red entries that appeared above the heads of some adventurers and reminded them.

"what do you mean?"

Noah asked nervously. Although she only had a bite mark on her arm, she was aware of her negative state.

"You should be able to notice it, right?"

Li En asked back.

The adventurers fell silent. Their inspiration was high, so they could naturally notice the newly added red entries.

[Infection and Contamination] When bitten by mutated humans in the cracks, their saliva contains mutant toxins. These toxins will be transmitted throughout the body through the wound, corroding the brain, and eventually turning the infected person into a monster like the mutated humans. The infection lasts for half an hour.

The entire team fell into despair in an instant. Most of them were injured, and even those who were only slightly bitten were infected.

Although Hewen Field was not injured, his maid Lolita was scratched on the arm by the mutant knight's ice blade in order to protect him.

"All injured persons, leave the team now and gather outside immediately."

Noah said through gritted teeth.

She noticed that Nancy and Inna were both unharmed, and she couldn't allow herself to become a threat to her companions.

The members of the Du Chong Adventure Group were attacked the hardest. Not only was the group leader injured and had an arm broken, but two team members died and seven were injured.

Of the three adventure groups, only the leader of the Fierce Dragon Adventure Group was intact, but there were large cracks on his armor.

There were 23 people in the team, and 15 of them were injured.

All 15 people were infected, which was a heavy loss.

Many people began to call Marvin a whore and cursed him and the Ironclad Knights to relieve their anxiety and anger.

In the cracks, infection means death.

They cannot allow their bodies to transform into monsters and harm their companions.

Now there are only two options left for them. The first is to leave the team and enter the crack world in the dark, but they will definitely die at the hands of monsters and eventually transform into new monsters.

The second is to end one's life and leave a safe environment for one's companions.

"Captain, you are injured too."

A member of the Black Rose Adventure Group couldn't help crying. He had followed Noah for many years and understood Noah's character.

"I know, so I have to step out too."

Noah swung his sword,

"If anyone disobeys my orders, I will send him to see the great God Tiger right now."

"Yes, leader!"

The members of the Black Rose Adventure Group were the first to step out. They wiped away their tears and walked towards the entrance of the spider cave.

The leader of the Du Chong Adventure Group also brought his members to catch up with the team. Many members who cried and said they didn't want to die were punished by the leader's iron fist.

"Don't embarrass me!"

"Wow, Captain, I...I really don't want to die. I haven't married yet, I haven't had children yet, and I haven't done a lot of things yet."

"Shut up! Now that you've entered the rift, you must be prepared to die at any moment. This is the creed of an adventurer!"

After bidding farewell to their companions, the members of the Fierce Dragon Adventure Group also followed.

"and many more."

Noah suddenly turned around and called out to the team.

"Take off all your equipment and leave it to your companions."

"Yes! Captain!"

The team members looked solemn and began to throw away their weapons.

Hewen Field hugged the strong maid Lolita and cried until she was hoarse.
"Lolita, I don't want to lose you."

"I'm sorry, sir, Lolita can no longer protect you."

"Cough cough."

Li En coughed twice and patted Hewen Field's shoulder.

"That's enough, stop crying."

"Brother, please don't disturb me from saying goodbye to my beloved Lolita."

Hewen Field waved his hand.

Li En nodded slightly, no longer paying attention to Hewen Field, and said to Noah,

"Even though you're injured, it doesn't mean you're going to die immediately. Line up and get treated."

"Wait, what did you say?"

Hewen Field reacted and looked at Li En, "Can they still be saved?"

"I once studied healing with Archbishop Damir, so I should be able to heal you all. However, I need a separate environment. Please line up one by one and come in for treatment."

Li En said in a calm tone.

After a brief silence, there was a burst of warm cheers.

"Great! We are saved."

"No need to die, no need to die!"

Everyone hugged each other and cried.

Noah also took the opportunity to hug Nancy tightly and pretended to sob.

Nancy pushed the ill-intentioned guy away and said in a gentle tone,

"Captain, since you can't die, don't shed crocodile tears."

"Why are those crocodile tears? Captain, why don't you come and hug me."

The Black Rose Adventure Group actually has quite a few male members, all of whom have a crush on the black-haired leader, Noah.

Unfortunately, Noah has no interest in men. She only likes beautiful and soft women.

The adventurers built a temporary closed treatment room for Li En, and all the injured members lined up to enter.

The first thing Li En did was to knock the injured person unconscious, and then start clearing the entries.

Although there were anesthetics in the convoy's supplies, it was impossible to resupply supplies in the rift, and any anesthetics were extremely precious and could not be used in this matter.

【Entry points +2000】.

These points were almost enough to clear the out-of-control items for the witch, which made Li En feel better and the cleaning speed increased.

After clearing out 15 people, he earned 30000 points.
