Terra Martial God and Merit System

"Then I..."

"You can drive back by yourself." Luo Chen paused, "But there are risks... Why don't you go to the north with us?"

"You haven't been this far north, have you? You should be able to collect a lot of interesting specimens."

Luo Chen's words touched Magellan a little.

With four people together and a local, the chance of getting into trouble is greatly reduced, so maybe we can really give it a try.

"It depends." She thought for a while and said, "If the research station is uninhabitable, I will go with you... If possible, I will wait there."

This idea was approved by Luo Chen.

At the end of the discussion, Elki suddenly said, "Be careful on the road tomorrow, because sometimes danger may come last."

If someone else said this, it might just be a simple worry, but since it was said by the Cyclops, it seemed a bit more meaningful.

Luo Chen glanced at the other person, and considering that most of the Cyclops's predictions were related to tragic endings, he vaguely guessed something.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Whoever dares to stop me will be killed." Luo Chen thought to himself. He did not dwell on this issue any further and turned around to lie down and go to sleep.

The next day, the same situation occurred. After waking up, everyone started driving on their way.

There was light snow in the sky, and Luo Chen sat aside enjoying it, feeling particularly comfortable.

However, this kind of comfort soon disappeared, because when the snowmobile passed a forest, a burst of bird calls sounded, and then a group of birds flew out of the forest, chirping and flying away.

"That's..." Luo Chen's eyes moved there, and he saw the branches of the trees being broken. A huge monster suddenly jumped out from the woods.

From the details, it can be recognized that this should be some kind of wild beast in the forest, but under the influence of the collapse it has been completely unrecognizable, which is chilling.

The original fur had long since disappeared, replaced by a thick, ink-like carapace. The limbs had also become abnormally twisted, with each joint bent at an impossible angle, as if challenging the limits of nature.

And that once mighty face has now been distorted into a nightmarish picture.

"Hurry!" Magellan reacted quickly. She immediately wanted to speed up and get rid of the opponent, but the collapsing monster had already set its sights on them.

Seeing this, Typhon jumped out of the car window and climbed onto the roof with his hand.

Take the bow, draw the string—

Typhon took a deep breath and leaned back slightly, as if she had merged with the snowy plain. Then, she quickly loosened her fingers and the arrow shot towards the distant target. Throughout the whole process, her expression remained calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

"puff!"

The arrow hit the target, but the effect was not as good as Typhon had imagined.

Although two-thirds of the arrows penetrated the opponent's body, its charge did not stop for a moment. If Typhon had shot a normal beast, the arrows would have been enough to penetrate the opponent's internal organs and cause heavy bleeding.

However, the monster's internal structure, which was collapsed by the evil power, has become completely different.

Typhon's expression didn't change at all, and he continued to draw arrows and shoot.

"...." Elki looked at everything in front of her. She had a premonition that everything she saw with her foresight was about to happen.

"The snowmobile is too slow." Luo Chen looked back. "Don't drive anymore. Stop the car."

"Stop the car, it's catching up!" Magellan shouted, "What the hell is that?! Why does Sammy have such a monster?! This is unscientific!!!"

"I said I would take action. Now stop."

Magellan hesitated for a moment, but out of trust in Luo Chen, he gritted his teeth and stepped on the brakes.

When Luo Chen stopped, he opened the car door and jumped out.

"It's coming..." Elki said softly.

She took out her staff and looked at the monster running towards her from behind the vehicle.

Elqi was determined to save Luo Chen temporarily. After spending these days together, she realized that the other party was indeed knowledgeable and had a high status in the Terra Union.

She craves cooperation with others, especially those related to big forces.

Maybe the Terra Union is the key to saving Sami and solving the problems in the North... That's why Foresight guided her here.

Now, maybe she can try to save Luo Chen...

Several Withering-related Originium skills were used silently and then attached to the charging monsters.

Although there was no apparent difference in the opponent's movements, the power was somewhat weakened.

“Maybe this will help…”

In Elqi's eyes, Luo Chen faced the enemy without fear.

Then--

"Stab!"

"Pfft!"

The winter clothes were torn and blood was splattered.

It was exactly the same as Elki's prophecy. But the key point was... the blood was not Luo Chen's.

"*Chinese curse word* My clothes!" Luo Chen cursed.

Although this winter clothing is very heavy, he still cherishes it. After all, he can't live without clothes.

Seeing his clothes damaged, he became furious and rushed towards the monster that he had knocked back with one punch.

Chapter 342 Encounter

How do Elki and the other two view this matter?

First, Luo Chen and the monster charged towards each other, and then Luo Chen punched out.

The monster hit by Luo Chen's fist retreated and even flew into the air in an instant. Its limbs began to struggle, and its left forearm just happened to cut open Luo Chen's winter clothing.

Although it looked like Luo Chen was almost injured...in fact, the gap between the two was much greater than imagined.

Luo Chen punched out, not only knocking the opponent back, but also shattering its shell with such a powerful force.

If he hit a human body...then it would probably turn into a puddle of mud.

Even the monster that was collapsed by the evil power began to struggle at this moment. Or rather, it was not struggling... but intended to continue attacking Luo Chen.

However, the huge force had shattered its body, and now it couldn't get up even if it wanted to.

Luo Chen walked slowly towards the monster. It was not until he came to the side of the monster that Elqi woke up from his dream.

"Be careful of the contamination," she shouted, then jumped out of the car.

Sami already has a relatively mature process for dealing with collapsed bodies. Although Elki has not fully mastered it, he can use several Originium techniques to suppress the release of evil spirits.

If Luo Chen gets any closer now... he will be contaminated by the evil spirit, or even collapse... that would be terrible.

Elqi hurried over, but saw Luo Chen directly inserted his hand into the monster's body.

"Are you crazy?!" Elki said in shock, "Put your hands away!"

"Whoosh——" The strange black substance emanating from the monster seemed to be guided and surged towards Luo Chen.

Seeing this, Elqi also became alert. She picked up her staff and aimed a Source Stone skill at Luo Chen.

"What are you doing?" Magellan ran down from the car, "Luochen, why are you..."

"Don't go over there!" Typhon grabbed her, "Stay here."

She did not put down the bow, but re-stringed it and aimed at Luo Chen.

"You..." Magellan didn't understand, "Why are you doing this?"

"Once infected, we must kill him." Typhon said calmly, "With such close contact... there is a high probability that he will be infected."

"Elki?"

Elki shook his head. "I have never seen this kind of collapse... But he dared to put his hand into the belly of the collapsed body... Is he mentally ill?"

"Ha!" Luo Chen pulled his hand out of the monster's belly.

The amount of evil in this thing is too little... not even half of that in an ordinary inner guard.

The reason why it took so long was simply because this thing had no core inside, and Luo Chen had to swallow up the remaining evil aura bit by bit.

He stretched himself, looked at the hole in his winter jacket and sighed, "I'll ask Magellan if he can fix it later..."

Luo Chen turned around and saw Elki and Typhon, who were at loggerheads. He frowned, "What are you two doing?"

"You weren't collapsed?" Elki looked at Luo Chen in disbelief. "How...how is this possible?"

"I'm fine." Luo Chen spread his arms, "Magellan, do you have any way to fix the hole in my winter clothing? I feel a little chilly..."

"Yes!" Magellan ran back to the snowmobile, then ran back again. "Pull both sides tight, then drip this on... OK."

Luo Chen shook his head and it was true. The clothes that were cut by the sharp claws were restored.

"This is only temporary." Magellan said, "When we get to the next station, maybe there will be..."

Elki and Typhon, who were standing aside, looked at each other and saw each other's disbelief.

"He's really okay...what about the demon?" Typhon asked.

"The power of the demons can only be folded and sealed." Elki recited the truth in the hearts of many warriors in the North, "Only by using the power of the Snow Ceremony can we prevent it from continuing to pour out..."

"But the evil demon is really gone." Typhon came to the monster's body.

She kicked it with her foot, and the originally solid shell collapsed quickly like sand.

"He should know the answer..." Elqi looked at Luo Chen, but Luo Chen looked somewhere else.

Those are the woods where the monster escaped from.

"Wow——" Many more birds flew out from inside and soared into the sky, and many more moving black spots appeared in the sky.

"Interesting." Luo Chen licked his lips. "Shall we go over and take a look?"

----------------------

"Failed." The black blade looked up at the existence in front of it.

The execution that was supposed to be carried out was erroneous due to some mistakes. But now there is only one thing that is worth being sure of - the person in front of him is no longer his comrade, but the sharp blade of the evil demon.

Why is this happening?

He wondered in his heart, was it because his loyalty to the emperor was not strong enough?

Who knows... Being in the north, they no longer care about the illusory emperor. The reason why they are willing to devote themselves to become the inner guards and walking sharp blades is perhaps simply because of their love for this land.

And now the emperor is indeed gone.

But back to reality....they still screwed up.

The fall of the sharp blade attracted the siege of the Sami tribe - but they were no match at all.

After the chaos, they had to work together to face this terrifying existence.

"Damn it..." Ektilnil, the Snow Priest of the Tree Scar Tribe, cursed inwardly.

Any foreign creature that comes to the Sami must be driven away. They are supposed to protect their homeland, but this guy is just too difficult to deal with.

The evil spirit itself is difficult to deal with, not to mention that it is a demon transformed from an inner guard - the core fragment is inside the protective suit, and it is extremely difficult to complete the end.

This twisted space no longer obeyed the rules of reality, and the black river crawled and rose in the shadow of the new cold disaster. The two people who were originally going to decide life and death when they met were now waiting for the opportunity back to back.

Finally - they were shaped into shape, and the sharp black ice spikes attacked the two people standing back to back at an impossible trajectory and incomprehensible speed.

"retreat!"

The two quickly separated, the inner guard wielded his long sword to knock away the incoming ice spikes, while Ektilnir used the power of the Snow Rite to resist the attack.

Both of them were trying to do two things at once - in the black river surrounding them, there were hollow black shadows contaminated by the evil spirit.

Only by discovering the opponent and ending it... can we achieve final victory.

only....

As time goes by, the fatigue increases.

They are not evil, they still have to abide by the rules of this world. Now... they can't hold on any longer.

Snow Priest Ectilnil knew that he didn't have much time left, but there was really no chance now... unless...

Take a gamble!

He raised his spear, aimed at the location where the core was most likely to appear, and then prayed for Anma's blessing. Then...
