Chapter 273: Crossing over, the Law Looking at Each Other From a Distance
"This is troublesome."
Krono is still trapped in Beltram, and the law officer Chu Ming wants to find is also inside.
If he doesn't want to face the surging magic tide, he can wait for the dwarf army of the Reran Kingdom to deal with the dark magic tide before entering.
He touched the stubble on his chin and looked at the knight behind him.
"In fact, the intensity of the dark magic tide is not very high. As long as I don't encounter epic two-star and epic three-star dark monsters, I can move freely in it."
"If you are careful, you can get to Beltram soon."
Chu Ming unfolded the map in his hand, and after scanning it, he chose a southwest path leading to Beltram as the route forward.
The place where the dark magic tide landed was in a canyon northeast of Beltram, and most of the routes he chose were in the southwest of Beltram. There was also a turbulent river in the forest close to Beltram. Entering from this path can greatly avoid the risk of colliding with dark monsters.
In fact, with the huge epic power in Beltram City, it is easy to break out, but the dark magic tide cannot break through the defense of Beltram's walls. The reason why Beltram's people are still staying inside is to protect Beltram from being destroyed and quietly wait for the support of the dwarf army.
"It's decided, let's go from the southwest path, and take the knights to experience and exercise their compatibility."
After Chu Ming and Miguel carefully confirmed the direction, he put away the map and led the knights on war horses to the southwest direction. The forest filled with black fog.
...
One day later.
Whoosh!
A ball of green light flew into the gloomy trees, and suddenly the green light bloomed. A roar came from inside, and the thorns spawned by the shadow of the Luhua ball imprisoned a dark monster.
Chu Ming led the knights to the depths of the gloomy trees and saw a black creature standing upright, like a werewolf, struggling. When he saw Chu Ming and his party coming, the monster let out a threatening roar from its throat.
"So the predecessor of the dark creatures looked like this?"
Chu Ming carefully observed the dark monster, with a look of surprise on his face from time to time.
The Dark Demon Nest is the first dark creature to descend into the alien world in the mythological era. The dark monsters born in the Demon Nest are the most primitive dark creatures. They are different from the dark creatures of various shapes now. Most of the dark monsters are upright human bodies, as strong as beasts, and exude an ominous dark aura.
Most of the dark creatures driven back to the dark land by the creatures on the mainland are the descendants born after the dark monsters polluted the blood of the alien creatures.
As the beginning of dark creatures, the dark monsters have simple and violent dark abilities, and their physical strength and recovery ability are amazingly strong. They also have almost instinctive spell abilities. Rather than saying that they are dark creatures, it is better to say that they are like some dark races. After their dark blood spread to the alien world, countless descendants of dark creatures were born.
Dark creatures are not necessarily weaker than dark monsters, but dark monsters generally have wisdom that dark creatures do not have, so they appear to be more cunning and smart.
The dark monster in front of Chu Ming was just a phantom from the mythical era. After it was given a physical form by darkness, although it had the power to destroy the present world, its wisdom could not be inherited after all, so it kept roaring at Chu Ming like a wild beast.
If it were a real dark monster, some might even surrender when faced with difficulties, which was so strange that it made people feel that they were not facing a bloodthirsty monster, but some kind of living creature.
After seeing through the structural details of the dark monster in front of him, Chu Ming shook his head and quickly drew out the black long sword and swung it forward.
Crackling!
Thunder and lightning sounded, and the dark monster's body floated with wisps of black mist in a painful wail, leaving only a blank phantom on the spot.
The phantom stood there for a while, and suddenly walked towards Beltram as if it was summoned.
During this period, Chu Ming and others also tried to attack this phantom, but none of them. In addition, their attacks did not cause damage to the dark monster phantom, and it fell directly into the air.
Since the attack didn't work, Chu Ming ordered the knights to stop the attack. He looked at the figure of the phantom leaving, and a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
No wonder this dark demon tide is not strong, but it can still survive until now. It turns out that it has this magical characteristic.
When the dark monster is defeated, it will turn back into a phantom, but the phantom will soon attract the attention of darkness, and then it will be transformed into a real entity to be resurrected. In this way, the number of dark monsters destroyed by the epic in Beltram City may not be as many as the resurrection of dark monsters. No wonder dark monsters can wreak havoc in other cities.
In order to confirm his conjecture, Chu Ming led the knights to follow the phantom in the forest for a while.
Sure enough, after only more than ten minutes, the phantom stood there again, and the surrounding black fog surged towards it, forming its tendons, internal organs, muscles, skin...
"Roar..."
After the phantom was transformed into a real entity again, the dark monster once again stared at Chu Ming and others with bloodshot eyes.
"Roar!"
The dark monster crawled on all fours and flew towards Chu Ming like a wild beast. The magic pattern on its arm lit up, and its claws flashed a little light, slashing straight towards Chu Ming's head.
"You really don't learn your lesson."
Chu Ming shook his head and directly grabbed the thick throat of the dark monster. He squeezed it with his right hand, and the sound of cracking bones was heard. A large amount of black mist overflowed from the crack in its throat like blood and clung to the wound, as if it wanted to kill it. The wound was blocked.
With a sudden force of his right hand, the dark monster's head fell off, rolled to the ground and quickly dissipated.
After the dark monster's body was fatally injured, a large amount of black mist dispersed from its body, and soon only a shadow remained in place.
After Chu Ming observed the phantom, he discovered that it turned out that after the phantom transformed into a physical body, it was not without consumption. For example, after the phantom of the dark monster in his hand died twice, the muscle arms on the phantom disappeared. , it is estimated that after a few more deaths, the entire shadow will completely dissipate.
Thinking, he waited for the shadow to be summoned again and followed it. As soon as the shadow transformed into a physical dark monster, he quickly destroyed it.
If this phantom had any intelligence, it would be cursing, but this human being is simply full and has nothing to do, so he caught it and beat it hard.
Chu Ming followed the shadow for an hour. After the shadow died six times, it finally disappeared in front of everyone.
After seeing this, Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the phantoms can be killed, it means that the dark demon tide can be resolved. If the phantoms are not consumed, more and more phantoms will be born in the dark demon nest until they occupy the entire Kingdom of Reran.
But now that they know that these phantoms can be solved, the dwarf army can directly attack the dark demon nest in the canyon northeast of Beltram. As long as this source is solved, the dark monsters will not proliferate indefinitely and will be solved. The dark wave is only a matter of time.
After learning a little about the dark monsters and phantoms, Chu Ming led the knights to run at full speed on the forest path in the direction of Beltram.
However, the knights' rapid march did not last for half a day before they encountered a dense wave of dark demons blocking the road ahead.
Looking into the dark demonic tide, there are many epic figures in it. If they can't find a way to pass here, they will have to take another route.
"Did you run into a large army..."
Chu Ming's face was a little solemn, but in fact this was still within the scope of his ability to solve it.
In this dark demonic tide, the most powerful dark demons are only one-star epic. It is still difficult for these guys to block his way.
The demonic tide rushed towards Chu Ming and the knights. The dark monsters roared violently one after another, and their blood-red eyes emitted red light, like red fireflies flashing in the forest.
The sound of footsteps, roars, falling trees...the chaotic sounds covered everything up, and the dark demonic tide rushed towards the knights with a terrifying and violent momentum.
The knights were shocked, and they all looked at Chu Ming in front of them.
I saw Chu Ming sitting on the horse and suddenly stretched out his right hand. He shouted: "Please lend me the power of burning, knights."
Burn the will!
"yes!"
The knights roared angrily, and the golden flames on their bodies quickly rose up, forming a huge flame wave that illuminated the forest within a few kilometers, dyeing the dark demonic tide with a layer of broken gold.
The flames surged like a huge flame cloak behind Chu Ming. He waved his hand, and the golden flames wrapped around his arm and gradually spiraled into a golden lance that was more than ten years long.
Chu Ming stared closely at the demonic tide in front of him. The demonic circuits on his body flowed rapidly throughout his body, and sparks exploded in the air, creating a burning smell.
"drink."
He shouted low, and the magic lines on his skin became extremely hot, glowing red. Suddenly, in a burst of fire, his whole body burned with blazing fire.
call out!
The muscles in Chu Ming's right hand swelled, lightning flashed, and the huge golden lance crashed into the demonic tide at an extremely fast speed.
Boom! ! !
A large number of dark monsters were directly annihilated in the golden lance, and the ground shook violently. A deep pit was also plowed out on the ground, leaving only dense shadows on the path of the lance, forced into the demonic tide. A passage was opened.
"Come with me!"
While these phantoms had not yet resurrected, Chu Ming led the knights straight into the demonic tide and quickly passed through it.
The war horses continued to run forward, until Chu Ming ordered the knights to stop when they could no longer see the dark wave behind them.
"Everyone, take a rest first. We are still some distance away from Beltram."
The knights nodded and sat directly on their horses to rest, always prepared for possible attacks around them.
A few minutes later, after the knights had fully recovered from their exhausted energy, Chu Ming led the knights to continue their journey towards the southwest.
The closer they got to Beltram, the larger the nearby dark demonic tide became. Chu Ming and others encountered no less than ten waves of dark demonic tides in just three hours. The number of dark demonic creatures was so ridiculous that no wonder they all passed by. After all this time, Beltram still hasn't solved the dark demonic tide.
Fortunately, the dark monsters Chu Ming encountered along the way were not of high strength. In three hours, he only encountered one epic two-star dark monster.
Since these dark monsters transformed from phantoms are not intelligent, Chu Ming turned a corner and disappeared directly into the eyes of the epic two-star dark monster.
Chu Ming and the knights continued to run in a dark and gloomy forest for half a day. They bypassed several behemoths that exuded terrifying auras, and finally arrived at the river in the forest.
He stood on the river bank and looked across. The place where the river was originally rushing was full of dark monsters. If it weren't for the splashes of waves from time to time under their feet, Chu Ming would have thought he was in the wrong place.
Chu Ming continued to look forward. In the distance surrounded by black fog, a huge city wall like a black shadow blocked the attack of the dark magic tide. He vaguely saw a dazzling light flashing near the city wall, accompanied by faint bombing sounds.
Miguel looked at the surging magic tide in front of him, and his face showed some hesitation.
"Captain, if we just cross the river like this, will there be any danger?"
Chu Ming pulled out the dark shadow from his waist and answered without looking back: "So we have to clear a passage first."
"You follow me, I will clear the way for you."
Chu Ming clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly. Facing the endless magic tide, the unicorn blood horse not only did not retreat, but roared and released spells to attack the monsters in the magic tide.
Boom! !
Thunder exploded in the air, and Chu Ming's body flashed with thick white electric arcs. As he swung his sword down, the thunder raged in the river.
"Roar!!"
The roar continued, and there was a faint sound of pain mixed in it. Some dark monsters with weaker strength exploded directly in the thunder, and scattered into black fog all over the sky.
Above the river filled with black fog, surging golden flames suddenly rose, cutting through the dark fog and illuminating the top of the river.
The Knights followed behind Chu Ming, and the thunder and golden flames complemented each other, destroying all the dark monsters that blocked everyone.
Occasionally, a few epic dark monsters with stronger bodies not only did not flee in the river, but roared and rushed towards Chu Ming.
Facing these epic creatures that attacked suddenly, Chu Ming held the dark shadow in his hand, and his heart was as clear as a mirror, and he directly predicted the attack of the epic dark monster.
He waved the dark shadow, and the white sword light was like thunder. In a few seconds, he drew dozens of swords, and the dense sword light spread out like thunder. The black air in the bodies of several epic dark monsters that failed to get close to Chu Ming instantly came out, and then they exploded directly.
The knights' formation was cone-shaped like a lance, and they trampled the surrounding dark monsters with an unmatched posture, stepped on the river waves, and crossed the river to the other side.
However, this was just the beginning. After crossing the river, Chu Ming and his team faced more dark monsters all of a sudden.
"Don't stop, keep moving forward."
Chu Ming shouted, ready to lead the knights to cross the entire demon tide and reach Beltram on the opposite side.
The golden flames rose up, illuminating hundreds of meters in radius. The ferocious appearance of the dark monsters appeared in front of everyone one by one, and then they would be overturned by the knights and exploded directly into a ball of black mist.
Just as Chu Ming and his team were crossing the dark tide, someone on the Beltram wall discovered this golden flame swaying in the darkness. In front of the endless darkness, this ray of flame looked so small, but its steps were still firmly charging towards Beltram.
On the wall, Beltram's mayor Romulo Furnace and the noble Grand Duke Randy Harlowen of the Harlowen family, a man and a dwarf, were looking into the depths of darkness.
As the Grand Duke of Harlowen, Randy is now over 200 years old and gradually entering old age.
But even aging could not extinguish the sharpness in his eyes. He stared at the depths of darkness and slowly said, "It seems that reinforcements are coming. Is it the King Hammer Legion?"
The dwarf Romulo on the side sneered, supported his waist and shook his head, saying, "If those guys come, they will not come to Beltram first. I guess they have already gone straight to the Dark Demon Nest."
Old man Randy touched his long beard on his chin and said with a strange look on his face, "Then what team dares to return to Beltram at this time?"
"You two, put aside your thoughts first. What is more important now is to welcome the team that is breaking through the dark magic tide."
A refined voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses and with a student-like temperament walked forward.
Mayor Romulo laughed and said, "Mr. Lawrence is right. I will send knights out for support."
Lawrence chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Mayor, there is no need to be so troublesome. Just watch me."
The man waved his sleeves, and a huge mental force spread out with order, and spread out for more than ten kilometers, covering the golden flames floating in the distance like a barrier.
In this range, the range of the spells cast by the mages from the Rich Land Empire on the city wall suddenly expanded. Originally, the spells could only attack the magic tide a few kilometers below the city wall. After being blessed by this inexplicable force of order, the spells whistled through the air and hit directly at a position more than ten kilometers away.
Randy and Romulo saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The attack range of the spell was expanded several times in an instant. No matter how many times you see this law power, it will make people feel magical."
Lawrence just smiled lightly and responded to the two of them simply.
As a law officer sent by the empire to investigate the God of War Trial, he discovered the difficulty of these phantoms after supporting Beltram. In order to assist the Beltram City Defense Force in defending the city, he led the Imperial Mage Corps to take over the city wall, reducing the pressure on the dwarf knights, and has been holding on until now.
On the wall, Lawrence looked at the flame in the darkness, and a familiar feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"This seems to be the breath of the scorching sun..."
"How can there be a scorching sun knight in the southern border?"
Before the man's doubts were answered, the golden flame seemed to respond to his law power support. A light red quickly spread out from around the golden flame. After being blessed by the red field, the golden flame suddenly rose and burned fiercely, as if it had the tendency to ignite the darkness.
Lawrence stared at the sudden appearance of blood color, and a look of interest appeared on his face.
"Not only the scorching sun knight, but also the law enforcer. This team coming to support does not look simple."
