Chapter 242 The changes deepen and the journey back is dangerous
Blood lines appeared from the monster's body, and a large amount of blood spurted out. It was cut into three pieces by the thunder, its legs and tail fell to the ground, and its body and head flew not far away.
Even though the monster was so seriously injured, it was still alive. It was wailing in a low voice, and the flesh and blood at the broken neck was squirming, trying to crawl towards the body.
Suddenly, a long sword was inserted into the soil, cutting off the flesh and blood tentacles. Purple destructive thunder arcs spurted out, forming a thunder field filled with thunder clouds around Chu Ming.
The black clouds moved and covered the figures of the monster and Chu Ming, making it difficult for everyone to see clearly Ming's expression at this time.
But after Crono watched Chu Ming's lightning-fast battle, his face and mouth never closed.
He never expected that Chu Ming, who was also a mage from the Royal City Mage Tower, would be so familiar with fighting. To be honest, this was the first time he saw someone fighting a dark creature, and he was instantly attracted by Chu Ming's refreshing battle.
Looking at the terrifying aura around Chu Ming, Crono suddenly had doubts in his heart.
"Isn't it true that the inferior mage's talent was promised? How could it be... so powerful..."
For the purpose of protection, the Mage Council did not announce Chu Ming's legendary high mage talent, which made Crono doubt himself.
If you can be considered a genius yourself, then what does Chu Ming mean to you?
Only now did he finally understand why Lord Avesta asked him to follow Chu Ming. It was clear that he was not asked to protect Chu Ming, but to build a good relationship with him.
Crono nodded unconsciously, his face becoming more and more excited. After these few days of experience, Chu Ming had left a powerful and mysterious impression in his mind, and he had no resistance to this matter.
"Lord Avesta, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Crono suddenly blushed when he thought of his arrogant speech on Yunlu before.
"If I had told you earlier, I would have hugged you earlier."
"But it's not too late now, there is still a long time before the cleaning activity, hehe..."
Where the lightning flashed, the thunder clouds gradually dissipated, and the crimson legal field like blood mist also retreated into Chu Ming's body. The thunder gradually stopped, and Chu Ming's figure gradually emerged, and under him, the golden head
The scale monster has been burned into charcoal, but there is a faint squirming of flesh and blood under the charcoal, indicating that the monster is not completely dead yet.
Chu Ming frowned slightly.
"What kind of bloodline and what kind of power can give a creature's body a terrifying ability to recover that is close to immortality?"
"If this monster is promoted to legend, I'm afraid its recovery ability will become even more terrifying."
Although this battle ended with Chu Ming being crushed, he also discovered the limitations of his abilities during this battle.
With the blessing of knight power, spells and laws, his power can indeed reach a level close to epic, but as long as he encounters an enemy with terrifying recovery ability or immortality like a golden-scaled monster, he will be in a difficult battle.
middle.
When he was a wizard, his way of dealing with the immortality was to use forbidden power to chew and corrode the enemy's body, thereby destroying the immortality.
Facing those legendary creatures with huge bodies and nearly immortal recovery abilities, he was able to slowly wear them to death with the help of forbidden power.
"If you want to deal with the undead characteristics, you must obtain the power to corrode the body... It seems that when I go back, I have to see if there are any related spells in the mage tower."
Chu Ming pondered for a while, then inserted the long sword into the monster's head. Thunder light flashed, and the flesh and blood on it jumped like a grasshopper, and a burning smell wafted out.
As if it had been severely injured, the monster's flesh and blood retracted into the charcoal and lurked.
Chu Ming glanced at the charred flesh and blood scattered around the monster. He knew that once he walked away, the monster would immediately come back to life.
At this time, Mattie trotted over with the weapon in hand. She said with a serious face: "Mr. Lane, let me watch it for you. I didn't help you just now."
Chu Ming did not refuse, nodded, left the place and walked towards Crono.
Crono got up from the ground and breathed a sigh of relief: "This guy is finally solved."
Chu Ming shook his head and said: "The degree of Steve's mutation is far higher than that of other creatures. Even now, he is not completely dead."
"Mattie and I will guard here, and I need you to do me a favor."
Crono's eyes lit up, "Brother Ren, just say it."
"I need you and Aiqi to return to the legion stronghold and report the situation here to the epic mages."
The man was stunned for a moment, "Why don't we go investigate the mountain of corpses?"
Chu Ming said speechlessly: "Do you think you don't live long enough?"
"Although I don't know who this mysterious bloodline comes from, at least the source of bloodline pollution here is that epic earth dragon."
"Now that bloodline pollution suddenly breaks out, there may be terrible creatures on the mountain of corpses. If we let it go like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
When Crono heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He realized that the matter was indeed as Chu Ming said, but he thought too simply. If Chu Ming hadn't reminded him, he might have gone to investigate on his own.
The man thought for a while, nodded solemnly and said, "I can't help much by staying here, so Aiqi and I will go back and report first."
He paused for a moment and smiled bitterly: "You are right, I behave like an idiot in front of actual combat, and I am also holding back here."
Crono patted the soil on his body, walked to the wellhead and helped Aiqi up.
The knight said shamefully: "Lord Crono, I'm very sorry that I couldn't help."
Crono shook his head and said: "Who told us we were unlucky to encounter such a monster?"
"Can you still move around? Let's go back to the camp and report the situation here to the Epics."
"Don't worry, sir, I will recover from this injury soon."
Crono supported Aiqi and walked towards Chu Ming.
"Brother, let's go first."
Chu Ming nodded slightly and looked at Ai Qi, "Wait a moment."
Facing Chu Ming's gaze, Aiqi swallowed softly and kept thinking about the figure carrying the wrath of thunder in his mind.
"Lei... Lord Ren, what's the matter..."
Chu Ming didn't speak, and a rich green light bloomed in the palm of his hand. Then the green light floated towards Aiqi like a firefly and slowly integrated into his body.
"Well……"
A cool feeling came, and Aiqi couldn't help but make a sound of comfort. His body relaxed, and the injuries caused by the monster gradually recovered.
The man tried to stand up by himself. He moved his fully recovered body, his face was excited, and he cupped his hands to Chu Ming and said, "Thank you, Lord Ren."
"Well, you should leave quickly while it's still dark. The forest at night is difficult to walk through."
"Then let's go first, Brother Ren, please be careful."
Ren waved to Chu Ming and took Aiqi to the forest outside the village.
The villagers learned from the two people who left that the monster was destroyed and returned to the village again.
Everyone looked at Chu Ming's heroic figure in the village, feeling happy but also complicated at the same time.
No matter how scary this monster is, it was turned into Steve. Although it is a good thing that the monster is eliminated, everyone's mood will not get better.
Especially Steve's son Pierre, when he saw Steve's monster's mutilated body lying on the ground, the sadness in his eyes was even worse.
Chu Ming looked at the young man and said slowly: "I'm sorry that you saw this scene."
"But what I want to say is that your father is a hero. He jumped out to fight the dark creatures regardless of his own safety in the crisis of the village. He died in the confrontation with the darkness. We will remember his achievements."
Pierre was silent, raised his head and looked at Chu Ming with red eyes, "What would you do if you became a monster?"
Chu Ming chuckled and said: "Are you a monster? I have become one before. If I can't control my power, I might as well end my life vigorously and let those who dare to control me pay the price."
As he spoke, he patted Pierre on the shoulder, "Steph told me before he knew he was about to be swallowed up by the darkness. He hoped that you could become a knight. I think the Council of Advisors would not refuse a hero.
I suggest you take advantage of this opportunity."
As soon as these words came out, exclamations came from the surroundings, and the villagers looked at Pierre with envious eyes.
Pierre lowered his head and did not answer. He had not yet come out of his sadness and could not listen to Chu Ming's words.
Seeing his lost look, Chu Ming could only shake his head and walked towards the village chief Afshan.
Afshan was leaning on a cane, with a grateful smile on her face full of furrows and wrinkles, "Thank you, sir, for protecting the village."
Chu Ming said seriously: "The crisis has not completely passed yet. The village is too close to the direction of the corpse mountain. Maybe it will be surrounded by monsters in a few days."
"Notify all villagers, pack your bags and prepare to evacuate from here."
Afshan's expression changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked Chu Ming: "Excuse me, sir, where are we going to evacuate?"
Chu Ming glanced in the direction of the forest and replied: "Follow us back to the legion station first. There is a powerful mage to protect you there. You will not be in danger for the time being."
After listening to this, Afshan said goodbye to Chu Ming and left worriedly.
When the old man informed all the villagers about the village's relocation, there were expressions of astonishment on people's faces.
However, the mountain of corpses is near the village, and disasters may occur here at any time. With their lives in danger, the villagers did not object. They just nodded and hurriedly walked toward the wooden house.
After the noisy crowd left, Chu Ming and Mattie were the only two people left.
The maid worriedly said: "Those monsters will attack the village at any time. Mr. Renn, why don't you leave first, I will guard here."
Chu Ming shook his head and said: "I understand what you are thinking, Mattie."
