Chapter 209 Arriving at the Peninsula, Conservatism and Shock

In order to prevent accidents, Chu Ming returned to the pioneering knights and told Edel about the situation.

After listening, Edel looked solemn and decided to temporarily stop the development to prevent the dark giant from attacking.

A month later, there was still no sign of the dark giant.

Chu Ming also returned to the vicinity of the golden light column to check. Who knew that not only the dark giant disappeared under the tower, but also the sense of being watched in the dark disappeared completely, replaced by three legendary creatures occupying the ruins of the giant tower.

Although the legendary creatures were powerful, they were not as shocking as the spider queen.

These legendary creatures were so powerful that he couldn't afford to provoke them, but there was no need to provoke them. As long as no one angered them, they would not deliberately cross the Tianqian Mountains and run into human territory across a long distance.

After confirming that the spider queen had really disappeared, Chu Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and went back to tell Edel the news.

After a month, the pioneering knights started again. Their goal was to first open up a passage from the dark forest that was thousands of kilometers long and more than ten kilometers wide to the King's Peninsula, and then open up the empire's XJ domain based on the passage.

This development was destined to be a long one, requiring decades of continuous efforts by the pioneering knights.

After the pioneering knights started, Chu Ming also restarted his dark journey. He walked in the dark forest along the route planned by Edel, leaving a will-o'-the-wisp flower every dozens of kilometers.

He walked in the dark, recording the scenery and things he found on the road, and a year passed unknowingly.

In the past year, he found traces of many strange creatures in the dark forest, and recorded their bloodline abilities with spiritual crystals.

And the deeper he went, the thicker the trees inside, and the taller the dark creatures. He walked in the dark forest like a tiny ant.

Even the ruins or castles left by humans in the old days were not worth mentioning in front of these giant trees.

However, the journey was not always smooth. When he stepped into the area radiated by the mythical forbidden area, he found several legendary creatures inside.

Chu Ming relied on his immortality and used himself as bait to attract the legendary creatures within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and started a protracted melee with these terrible creatures.

In the first year, Chu Ming was targeted by many legendary creatures and fell into a cycle of body explosion and recovery.

Gradually, some legendary creatures woke up from their bloodthirstiness. They found that whether they were eaten alive or crushed, the humans in front of them could come back to life and give them a painful blow.

These legendary creatures wanted to leave when they saw that the situation was not right, but Chu Ming would not let them go so easily.

As long as these legendary creatures wanted to escape, he would chase them and beat them up.

After being beaten too many times, these legendary creatures lost their minds again and began to attack frantically.

In the first year, Chu Ming was the only one who was beaten unilaterally. In the second year, these legendary creatures were so bloodthirsty that they would fight each other without Chu Ming's help.

In just two years, this dark forest was destroyed to the point where no grass grew and the soil was turned over several times.

In the third year, casualties finally occurred, and a legendary creature died under the beating of other legendary creatures.

During this period, some legendary creatures also wanted to retreat, but as long as a legendary creature wanted to retreat, it would be attacked by Chu Ming.

In this way, these legendary creatures were caught in a dilemma, wasting their strength in the endless battle.

When the fourth year came, the number of legendary creatures who died had reached three, and only three legendary creatures that were more resistant to beating were left on the scene.

In order to catch up with the progress, Chu Ming used all his skills to deal with the last three legendary creatures before the pioneer knights arrived in this area.

After resting on the corpses like mountains for a few days, Chu Ming continued to walk deep into the dark forest.

A month later, when the pioneer knights arrived in this area, they only found the remains of the giant beast corpses like mountains, and the beast tide gathered under the corpses.

...

Twenty years later.

In the dark forest, Chu Ming finally solved the last legendary creature in the radiation range of the myth forbidden area.

The radiation range of the myth forbidden area covers hundreds of kilometers in the middle section of the passage. After dealing with these dark creatures, this development is more than half completed.

Although Chu Ming mostly stays alone in the dark forest, he sometimes goes back to visit Isabel and the others.

Thirteen years ago, Isabel broke through to the epic three-star level with the help of dream meditation, and Allen also broke through to the epic three-star level three years ago, and the epic level of the entire empire is close to 200.

However, the expansion of epic combat power is achieved by consuming top-grade crystals. This growth is not sustainable and the growth rate will soon return to normal.

As the monarch of the empire, Edel's cultivation has not fallen behind, and his meditation method has also been cultivated to the level of epic two stars.

However, what surprised Chu Ming the most was that Edel kept exploring the way of knights in the long battle, and actually found a feasible way for him to break through the limit of human bloodline.

Although he is still in the process of perception, as long as he succeeds, he can become the first knight in the Dark Age who can reach the epic without relying on any external objects.

This is of great significance, and for this reason, Chu Ming often returns to the Cavaliers to discuss breakthrough ideas with Eder.

In the dark forest, Chu Ming walked out of a ruins left by humans.

Unfortunately, he found nothing useful, and even the books that recorded knowledge and history were turned into ashes over the long years.

Chu Ming stood there and thought for a while, then took out the map, "If the map is correct, there should be only the last 100 kilometers left from the border of the King's Peninsula."

He threw a will-o'-the-wisp seed on the ground and continued walking forward.

Three months later, Chu Ming successfully crossed the dark land and reached the end point marked on the map.

"Is the King's Peninsula area ahead..."

Chu Ming took a deep breath and sighed a little in his heart.

He walked forward without slowness or haste.

But before he could leave the dark place, there was a loud noise in front of him.

"Don't run!"

A figure wearing leather armor and a hood appeared in front of Chu Ming. He jumped nimbly through the forest.

Behind the mysterious man, several knights were chasing him with their steel armors ringing and their spears raised.

"Um?!"

Seeing someone suddenly appear in front of him, the person looked startled, passed Chu Ming, and continued to run back.

A stranger suddenly appeared in the dark forest, and the knight suddenly became wary.

"Who are you?!"

Just as Chu Ming was about to speak, several knights rushed over, raising their spears and trying to force him to surrender.

But the next second, a black shadow struck, and the knights' vision went dark, and they fainted.

"There seems to be a guide missing."

Chu Ming touched his chin, his sleeves fluttered, and a vine shot into the forest.

After a while, a cry of surprise came back from the distance, and the escaped guy was tied up with tree vines and caught.

"Are you a wizard?!"

The mysterious man's voice was a little childish, and his tone was a little surprised.

Chu Ming raised his eyebrows and did not respond. Instead, he grabbed the unconscious knight and led these people out of the dark forest.

"let me go!"

The man squirmed uncomfortably. Seeing that Chu Ming ignored him, he panicked completely and begged for mercy: "Master Wizard, please let me go."

Chu Ming paused and asked with interest: "What's your name?"

The man was stunned for a moment, "I...my name is...Javier!"

Chu Ming shook his head, "Why is there no sincerity between people?"

"Let me ask you, is the King's Peninsula ahead of us, right?"

"if not……"

The man spoke quickly, but he soon realized something and swallowed hard, "Could it be that you are coming from the other side?"

"if not."

Chu Ming smiled and responded with the same words, and then continued to walk forward.

"What?!"

Blush instantly covered his face, but it was difficult to cover up his shock.

The man hurriedly said: "Sir...Sir, we really can't go any further. The major kingdoms are now hunting down the Blood Riders and the related wizards. If you take me out, I will implicate you."

"You...let me go, so we can get together and get away."

Chu Ming shook his head, "You'd better tell me what's going on in the King's Peninsula now. If I'm in a good mood, I might let you go."

"And don't talk to me like you're using witchcraft."

The man hesitated for a moment, then the male voice disappeared following the witchcraft fluctuations, and the girl's clear voice sounded, "What should I say?"

"Well...let's start with Niho College."

Hearing that this mysterious wizard was interested in Niho College, the girl hurriedly said: "Sir, my name is Fia Kubrick. I am a student of Niho College and a knight of the Witch Rider Sect."

As she spoke, Fiya pulled down her hood, revealing a delicate girl's face. On her slightly fleshy cheeks, her watery eyes moved slightly restlessly.

On her short flaxen hair, there is a Niho College emblem hairpin.

"Witch Cavalry Sect?"

Chu Ming showed an interested look on his face, "What then?"

The girl's voice paused, and her panicked voice gradually calmed down. She tried to organize her words, "Witch Cavalry is one of the three major sects in the college. It is a new applied school that has been born for hundreds of years. The purpose of the school is to explore witchcraft and knights. The combination of secret techniques allows the knight to break through the limitations of his bloodline."

"And our Blood Cavalry Group is the representative of the Witch Riding School and has been committed to the development of the knight's secret method."

As she spoke, her tone was a little low, "But a year ago, the other two sects in the academy - the Griffin School and the Hunting School suddenly slandered us as studying dark secrets and launched a hunt for the Blood Riders."

"If I go back like this, I will definitely be arrested. I beg you to let me go."

The girl sounded aggrieved and burst into tears.

Chu Ming was unmoved and said: "You still have something crucial to say. Are you really studying the dark secret method?"

"How is that possible!" Fiya's voice suddenly rose up, and her aggrieved voice disappeared instantly, "It's just...just..."

The girl hesitated and looked at Chu Ming secretly.

Chu Ming smiled patiently and said, "If you don't tell me, I will hand you over to the Cavaliers."

"Ah?!" Feiya looked at Chu Ming, her eyes seemed to be looking at the devil, she hesitated: "Actually, our Blood Riders have developed a new knight's secret method. Other schools covet the new secret method and want to I asked for it from the Blood Riders, but the leader didn’t give it, so I was arrested..."

Chu Ming suddenly said: "You are talking about the secret method to break through the limits of knights, right?"

When Feiya heard this, her body stiffened. After a while, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Sir, please let me go."

"Don't worry, I have no interest in you."

Waving to the girl behind him, Chu Ming gradually walked out of the dark forest. The sun shone through the shadows of the trees, the decayed smell gradually faded, and the warm sun shone down.

"Someone came out!"

Outside the border camp, the knights were alert and surrounded them.

"It's over."

Fia, who was tied up by vines behind Chu Ming, looked desperate and gave up struggling.

"Really enthusiastic, there are still people to welcome me."

Chu Ming smiled and threw the unconscious knights back.

He had been walking alone in the dark for three months, and suddenly seeing so many people, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Ignoring the alert knights, Chu Ming looked at Fia behind him, "Where is Niho College, point me in the direction."

"Be careful."

Fia did not respond to him, but exclaimed.

I saw several knights rushing forward with shields, trying to knock Chu Ming down.

But the man just waved his hand slightly, the vines swept out, and all the knights fell to the ground instantly.

Chu Ming repeated, "Point me in a direction."

The girl nodded blankly and pointed to the northeast.

Chu Ming glanced at the knight who was lying on the ground and trying to get up. He wiped his right hand, and the night was torn out. He disappeared with the girl.

In the night passage, Chu Ming released the vines and wrapped her up with a spirit robe.

Suddenly entering this unfamiliar environment, the girl grabbed Chu Ming's arm a little uneasily.

Chu Ming said lightly: "Don't move, otherwise you will fall out."

"What kind of witchcraft is this?"

For some reason, the girl's uneasy expression disappeared and became curious.

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Do you want to know? Tell me about the knight's secret method, and I will tell you."

The girl heard this and pursed her lips, looking like I don't know, I don't understand.

A few minutes later, Chu Ming took Feiya out of the night and appeared in a wilderness.

"This is teleportation!"

Feiya was secretly surprised. She had been communicating with wizards for so long, and she had never heard of such a magical teleportation witchcraft without side effects.

While she was still in a daze, Chu Ming looked over and said, "Tell me, if I take you back to Niho College, will those knights give me the secret method?"

Feiya was shocked when she heard this, and she protected her body vigilantly and quickly moved away from Chu Ming, "No way, even if you hand me over to them, they can only give you a few copper coins at most."

"That's really difficult..." Chu Ming smiled and moved his body, "By the way, you are not the only one left in your Blood Knights, right?"

"I...I..."

Feiya wanted to refute, but suddenly recalled what happened in the past year and fell into silence.

Looking at the silent girl, Chu Ming asked seriously: "Why don't you choose to publish the secret method and put yourself in such an embarrassing situation."

Fia pursed her lips and said: "The new secret method still has flaws. The knights who practice the new secret method will gradually lose their human blood and turn into beasts."

"Since the rise of wizards, the Niho Academy, which specializes in training knights, has gradually declined and lost its previous status. The knights of the Griffin School regard restoring the glory of the academy as more important than their lives. If these guys who don't understand witchcraft are allowed to mess around, I can't imagine the consequences."

"Although the Blood Knights have repeatedly emphasized that the secret method needs to be improved, they Obviously, they can't wait any longer. "

The girl gritted her teeth and said, "The Blood Riders originally wanted to study the secrets quietly, but these guys were unreasonable and insisted on snatching it."

"If no one had died yet, I would have wanted to catch the leader of the Griffin School and beat him up."

Chu Ming asked curiously, "Doesn't your dean care?"

Fia looked at him strangely, "Dean Lucas is the leader of the Griffin School."

"Ahem, that's quite dramatic."

Chu Ming smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that the students of Niho College thousands of years later would be so tough that they even wanted to catch the dean and beat him up.

If he had encountered such a student during his tenure, he would have had a headache.

"So in the end, this is just a minor incident."

"What do you mean by minor incident?" Feiya put her hands on her hips and glared at him unconvincedly, "It's serious, okay? The reputation of our Blood Riders has been ruined by these guys."

Chu Ming glanced at her, "Why are you so excited? You are not the leader."

"I..." Feiya hesitated, "What's wrong with not being the leader? Everyone in our Blood Riders is as passionate as me."

"Hehe..."

Chu Ming's eyes had a deeper meaning, and he smiled without saying anything.

Feiya saw the man's gaze and pursed her lips, "Okay, I am the leader."

"Since it is a misunderstanding, you should take me to Niho College. Maybe your dean will give me some face and let your Blood Riders go."

"By the way, I have other things to discuss with your dean at Niho College."

The passage connecting the Empire and the King in the Dark Land is about to open. Facing this strange empire, the countries on the peninsula will inevitably panic and may make irrational moves. However, if they can make friends with the prestigious Niho College in the peninsula in advance, they can express the empire's friendliness and willingness to cooperate and reduce conflicts with other countries.

Under the mediation of Niho College, the Blood Moon Alliance and many top forces on the peninsula, the war situation among the countries on the King's Peninsula has been stagnant for a long time. Once there is a sign of conflict, the major forces will immediately resolve it. Even a noble king will step down because of this.

The advantage of this is that there are almost no wars between the countries on the peninsula, and it is easier to unite to fight against the dark beast tide.

But the disadvantage is that the systems and policies between the countries will gradually tend to be conservative, which is easy to accumulate greater contradictions.

Facing a new empire, it is difficult to imagine what the conservative countries will do.

"The situation on the King's Peninsula should also change." Chu Ming murmured.

Compared with the increasingly terrifying dark tide, human civilization will regress if it does not change. If the King's Peninsula continues to be managed in this patriarchal way, it will only become conservative and will be swallowed up by the dark tide sooner or later.
