The person was on the wrong ground, and Freya targeted him at the beginning!

'boom--'

However, at this time, the Minotaur's attack also arrived.

The fierce collision, especially the pair of sharp horns, directly pierced Cao Ye's skin, leaving two bloody holes on Cao Ye's body.

Not only that, under the huge impact, Cao Ye was also directly sent flying.

"Cough~cough~"

Cao Ye covered his chest and felt that his entire chest was burning.

Not only that, there was a bloody hole on his stomach and left chest, and blood kept flowing out. At this moment, Cao Ye seemed to have returned to more than half a month ago, when he had just entered the dungeon and was crawling around.

"I'm still too weak~"

Strength is never enough when it is needed, just like now.

"Ah ...

At this time, all the other Minotaur behind also came up.

Cao Ye had no doubt that if he were to face so many minotaurs at once, he would not be able to hold on.

'boom--'

"Magic power released——"

The power of magic burst out from Cao Ye's body. The next second, Cao Ye's physical fitness was further improved under the enhancement of "magic power release".

'Whoosh—'

Cao Ye did not dare to waste time and swung his sword, this time stabbing the Minotaur directly in the waist.

However, the Minotaur's tough muscles hindered Cao Ye's attack.

And then, with a "bang", Cao Ye was sent flying. After all, there was not only one Minotaur here. If you attack one, the others will attack you.

Not only that, the black sword also slipped out of his hand, still stuck in the body of the Minotaur.

"Spit~"

After spitting out the blood in his mouth, Cao Ye's eyes began to change.

Facing these minotaurs, I'm afraid I will have to fight for my life, otherwise it will be unlikely to escape unscathed.

'tick--'

As he spoke, a drop of black mud like ink dripped from Cao Ye's body.

Chapter 34: Black mud pollution, can the monster be controlled?

As a being who bears "all the evil in this world", Cao Ye is now not sure whether he is considered a human being.

The magic power in the body, under the influence of 'all the evil in this world', evolved into 'black mud', which is like magic power and can be wielded at will.

However, this power had a negative impact, so Cao Ye only used it once.

The last time it was used to silence someone, it has never been used since.

But now, I have no choice but to use it, because, in the face of life, everything else has to take a back seat, let alone strength. As long as I can survive, no matter what kind of evil magic it is, there will be countless people willing to use it.

'Whoosh—'

The bloody holes in Cao Ye's chest and abdomen pierced by the Minotaur were filled with black mud and then recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Previously, Cao Ye's abilities of 'quick recovery' and 'regeneration of severed fingers' all originated from this.

The essence of black mud is an aggregation of magic power, but it is filled with "the evil of this world". And Cao Ye, as the embodiment of "all the evil of this world", is one with the black mud.

Therefore, as long as there is enough magic power, even broken limbs can be restored.

"My magic power is a weakness. I am still too weak now. Otherwise..."

With the help of the black mud, Cao Ye's injuries were healed in the blink of an eye.

After becoming an adventurer, especially after the last grace update, Cao Ye's magic power has improved a lot, so naturally his recovery speed has also improved.

"I have quite a few abilities now. If I combine them a little, there should be a 'surprise'!"

The black mud began to boil, and a layer of black substance began to emerge on Cao Ye's body.

However, these black substances did not turn into black mud. Instead, they merged with Cao Ye's clothes. The original black and gray combat uniform was infected and turned into a black robe.

On Cao Ye's face, there was also a pattern similar to the "curse seal", which was bright red in color and had a unique beauty.

"Ah ...

At this time, the Minotaur, who had exploded with ferocity, had already rushed over.

Although they had no intelligence, only the most basic instincts of wild beasts and bloodthirstiness engraved in their souls, they rioted the moment the black mud appeared.

The beast's instinct made them feel threatened and they had to tear the other into pieces.

The orders from the Dungeon Mother and the instincts of the beasts made them only have one thought: rush up and kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

'boom--'

Under the dual enhancement of 'Magic Release' and 'Black Mud', Cao Ye's speed increased dramatically.

With a powerful sprint, he directly surpassed the speed of the Minotaur.

The Minotaur in the front had a pitch-black sword on his waist, and Cao Ye grabbed it directly.

'puff--'

Then, with a powerful thrust, he pierced directly through the body of the Minotaur.

'Snapped--'

'Wow--'

Then he pulled it out with his backhand, and a large amount of blood spilled all over the ground.

"First!"

'puff--'

The black sword in his hand mercilessly pierced directly into the Minotaur's head, killing it instantly.

As a second-level weapon, the sharpness of the black sword is unquestionable. It’s just that Cao Ye’s previous strength was not enough to support the black sword to pierce the Minotaur’s muscles, but now it can be done.

With the double reinforcement, Cao Ye's current strength has already surpassed the limit of lv1.

‘Ouch——’

‘Ouch——’

‘Ouch——’

At this time, the other Minotaur's surrounded him. Although he killed one, there were still a dozen others, and the danger was not over yet.

"Projection begins—"

Cao Ye took a deep breath and began to concentrate, and the magic called "Projection" began.

[Appraisal and Creation Concept]

【Assume the basic framework】

【Copy the constituent materials】

[Imitation production technology]

[Shared Growth Experience]

【Replay the accumulated years】

[Overcome and complete many projects]

【At this moment, the fantasy is gathered】

'brush--'

A black sword exactly the same as the one in his hand appeared in Cao Ye's other hand.

However, although the projection was successful, there were still some gaps with the original version, and the duration was limited. Also, after this, a lot of magic power was consumed.

"Black Sword: Dual Blades -"

Holding a black sword in each hand, Cao Ye moved instantly.

The sword in his hand shuttled through the Minotaur, cutting their skin, muscles, joints, etc.

There is only one goal. With Cao Ye's strength, he cannot kill the Minotaur instantly, so he has to do the next best thing and inflict severe damage to the Minotaur, and then get rid of it when the time comes.

At this moment, Cao Ye seemed to have turned into a shadow in the darkness, constantly launching attacks.

There was no set rules or techniques in the whole process, and there was no "swordsmanship" or other skills. From the beginning to the end, Cao Ye only demonstrated the purest means.

Fast speed! Powerful strength! Sharp reaction!

'puff--'

‘Ouch——’

The sharp blade of the black sword directly cut through the Minotaur's skin and severed the muscles at the joints of his arms, leaving one of his arms half-disabled.

And it was not just him. All the other Minotaur were injured one by one.

"Whoo~"

Finally, Cao Ye stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

The physical "strength" gradually faded away, and Cao Ye felt very uncomfortable with the "emptiness" of losing strength all of a sudden.

‘Ouch——’

The Minotaur closest to Cao Ye roared at him.

However, one of its legs had its muscles cut off, so it could not continue running. The other Minotaur also had injuries to varying degrees.

"I've always had a guess, now's a good time to try it out."

'puff--'

In an instant, black mud burst out from Cao Ye's body and directly covered the Minotaur.

"Ah ...

'Boom—'

Just as the black mud was gradually absorbed into the body of the Minotaur and an expression of surprise was about to appear on Cao Ye's face, the Minotaur died instantly, turning into a puff of black smoke, leaving only a magic stone.

At this moment, Cao Ye's expression froze. Is he so anxious?

Originally, Cao Ye wanted to try whether the black mud could control these Minotaur. After all, if successful, he would have an extra trump card.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the black mud invaded the Minotaur's body, it caused a violent repulsion between the magic stone and the black mud in the Minotaur's body, directly destroying the Minotaur.

Chapter 35 Monsters in the dungeon, monsters mobilize!

'Boom—'

All fourteen Minotaur collapsed immediately after being contaminated by the black mud.

At first Cao Ye thought that the first time was an accident, but later Cao Ye discovered that it was not an accident at all. These monsters were simply incompatible with the black mud.

No, to be precise, their cores are a substance very similar to black mud.

Cao Ye even felt that if he could touch their core, that is, their "magic stone", he would most likely be able to contaminate and turn it black, and then he would be able to wipe them out.

However, the idea was good. All the monsters invaded by the black mud collapsed before they could be contaminated.

Moreover, this "collapse" was not caused by the monster itself, but it seemed that it touched some "mechanism", causing the Minotaur to collapse.

"Could it be that……"

Cao Ye couldn't help but look around. To be precise, it was this magnificent underground maze.

As we all know, in the dungeon, monsters will be born from the walls and ceiling of the maze and become enemies of humans.

When a monster is destroyed, its body will dissipate, leaving behind magic stones and materials. Moreover, most monsters have low intelligence, lack the ability to learn, and can only act on instinct.

It is such an underground maze that attracts countless adventurers to enter, kill monsters, and obtain magic stones and materials.
