Chapter 282 Mysterious Shadow

"Captain, what are your instructions?"

Miguel stepped forward and saluted Chu Ming and asked.

Chu Ming glanced at all the knights, untied his swords, sat on the ground, and crossed his legs.

"Everyone sit cross-legged on the spot and practice the secret method of the scorching sun."

The knights looked at each other, not knowing what Chu Ming wanted to do, but they still obeyed the order, sat on the ground one after another, sat cross-legged with their eyes closed, and slowly entered the state of running the blood power.

A few minutes later, when all the knights' breaths had stabilized, Chu Ming's mind moved, and an invisible wave spread out from his body, enveloping all the knights on the training ground.

"I hope my guess is right."

Chu Ming slowly closed his eyes and gradually entered a state of meditation.

Hua La La... The tide rose and fell, the salty and wet sea breeze blew, and the hair scratched Chu Ming's face. He opened his eyes and saw the yellow beach and the blue sea and sky.

Above the sky, the sun transformed by the blood secret key emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire spiritual sea.

Chu Ming propped himself up with both hands and stood up from the beach. He shook his arms, and the wet sand magically peeled off his arms and back, and his clothes quickly became dry.

He slowly floated up from the beach and came to the fiery red sun.

Looking at the big fireball in front of him, he whispered: "The bloodline key should be considered as part of my spiritual sea. I wonder if the law can work on it."

After obtaining the law of order of domain expansion, Chu Ming had thought of using the law field to expand the fluctuation range of the bloodline key from his spiritual sea. In this way, even without fighting, he can make the bloodline key work on other knights.

It must be said that this idea is very bold. If the domain expansion can really be used in this way, then the Burning Knights will not need to worry about the knight's talent before the legend, and it will become an easy thing to create an epic knight.

"Try it."

Chu Ming took a deep breath and put the palm of the spirit body into the burning fireball without hesitation.

On the training ground of the manor, under the cover of order, a strange wave suddenly expanded from Chu Ming's body. The knights present all felt their hearts suddenly speed up, as if something had descended on their bodies, and the blood power in their bodies actually accelerated out of thin air.

"What is this?!"

Many knights were shocked by this strange scene. They could not maintain the state of secret operation, and looked at Chu Ming who was sitting cross-legged in front of them in disbelief.

"My... my blood is strengthening out of thin air!"

"What's going on?"

The knights' tone was a little excited, and their eyes looking at Chu Ming became more and more scorching.

Blood cannot be strengthened for no reason under normal circumstances, and all the knights of the Knights have been strengthened, so there is only one possibility-this blood strengthening should be what Chu Ming wants to announce.

Chu Ming woke up from his meditation state. He opened his eyes and faced the knights' burning gazes. He didn't explain anything, but just said lightly: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and practice."

"I will practice with you on the training ground in the future. I hope you will not disappoint me."

"I will give you three years. I hope that after three years, everyone will break through to Deep Blue. Do you understand?"

The knights' eyes were burning. With the confidence brought by the rising blood, they shouted without hesitation: "I understand!"

"Very good, practice."

Chu Ming maintained the expansion of the law field, watching all the knights close their eyes and enter the state of secret operation.

With the help of the blood secret key, the knights of the Burning Knights will be able to break through the upper limit to epic in less than three years, and their knight talents will also be terribly increased to medium epic talents.

With the epic knight talent and his teachings, it is not polite to say that even a pig can reach Deep Blue. If after three years, some of these knights still cannot break through Deep Blue, he should consider streamlining the knights.

...

Two days later, the black fog hovering over Beltram gradually dissipated. The two dark nests in the north of the city had been destroyed by the legendary knight Bobaka. After the dark nests disappeared, the shadows supporting the materialization of the dark monsters wandering outside the city walls also dissipated on the land. What remained was only an empty shell forged by the dark power. The city guards alone easily swept away the dark tide of dozens of kilometers.

The two purposes of Chu Ming's trip - obtaining the armor and long sword made by the dwarf craftsmen and asking the law officer Lawrence for the inheritance of the law - had been completed. Since the dark nest disappeared, there was no need for him to stay in Beltram.

On the second day after the dark nest was destroyed, Chu Ming led the Knights to pack up their luggage and dry food and came to the gate of the south of Beltram.

Early in the morning, at the gate of the south city.

The warhorse sneezed, and the horse's hooves knocked on the stone bricks, making a crisp sound. Next to the warhorse, Chu Ming held the reins and looked to his side.

After learning that Chu Ming was leaving Beltram, not only Krono came out to see him off, but also Lawrence, Randy and Romulo.

Grand Duke Randy of Harlowen laughed and said, "Ryan, welcome to the Kingdom of Reran next time. If there is a chance, I will let Krono take you to the central cave. You have never seen the real underground world. It is a magical place."

Chu Ming saluted and said, "Thank you, Mr. Randy. I will come again when I have time."

The dwarf mayor Romulo also came over and said enthusiastically: "Welcome, Beltram will always open the door to you."

"I thank you for your service in the defense of the city walls for the sake of the citizens."

Chu Ming nodded humbly to the dwarf, "This is what I should do."

"Mr. Lawrence, don't you say something?"

Randy chuckled and looked at Lawrence aside.

Lawrence looked at Chu Ming and said seriously: "I will convey your request to you, just wait."

"Thank you Mr. Lawrence."

Chu Ming saluted the three of them again, and Crono came up and sighed: "I still remember, this is how I said goodbye to you two years ago."

As he spoke, he laughed and punched Chu Ming's breastplate with his fist, "You are the one who puts pressure on people. I won't go out if I don't break through the epic this time. When I go to Clinton Kingdom to find you next time , you will definitely be surprised.”

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Then I'll have to wait and see."

"Remember to urge Master Sidi for me. There are forty-eight pairs of magic-forbidden armors, and no one is missing."

Crono said angrily: "I'm just thinking about your armor. The metal materials for the magic pattern armor have to be purchased from the Yapu Kingdom, and the forging takes a long time. It can't be completed in a year or two."

"After the armor and sword are forged, I will send knights to escort them to the Clinton Kingdom, so you don't have to worry."

Chu Ming smiled and said, "You said the same thing two years ago, but in the end you still had to come to Reran Kingdom to find you in person."

Crono coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "This time it was just an accident. Who knows where this dark demon's nest might not have landed. If it has to land near Beltram, I don't believe it will be so unlucky next time."

"Okay, I should go."

Chu Ming turned over and rode on the carriage, waving goodbye to Crono and others.

Romulo waved his hand enthusiastically and said, "Welcome to come again next time."

"Goodbye everyone."

The thumping sound of horse hooves gradually became brisk, and Chu Ming and the knights of the knights drove out of the city gate and disappeared into the morning mist.

On the way back, Chu Ming did not take the forest path as when he came, but left along the avenue south.

At noon, when the sun is at its hottest.

At this time, Chu Ming entered an open plain along the avenue, but strangely, they encountered a heavy fog as soon as they entered the plain. The surroundings were so gray that they could not see anything ten meters away.

Midway through the journey, Chu Mingle stopped his horse and took out the map pinned to his waist.

On the map, he circled four locations with red ink.

According to the dwarf legion who stayed in Beltram, these four places are the places where the dark demon nest comes. They are dozens of kilometers away from the avenue where Chu Ming is, but they are the same way he came to Beltram. The forest path is very close.

However, when Chu Ming and the others went to Beltram, they did not find these four dark demon nests on the road, and there was no dark demon tide nearby, indicating that these four dark demon nests only came after they entered Beltram.

Nowadays, an inexplicable thick fog appeared in the avenue plain, which made Chu Ming feel uneasy and always had an ominous premonition.

"Could there be a dark demon's nest near the avenue?"

Chu Ming paused in his heart and began to beat the drum.

He waved to the knights behind him and shouted: "All knights are on alert for the thick fog. If anything unusual occurs, alert everyone immediately."

"yes!"

Tap tap tap...

Miguel's horse accelerated, and he came to a position parallel to Chu Ming.

"Captain, do we still need to rest?"

Before setting off, Chu Ming had already discussed with Miguel and Nathan to find a place to rest temporarily after walking to Pingyuan Avenue at noon.

Now that this strange thick fog has appeared, Miguel and Nathan can't make up their minds. Miguel can only step forward to ask Chu Ming for his opinion.

Chu Ming shook his head, "Let's wait until we get out of the thick fog. Just use dry food to cope with it."

"If we encounter dark monsters on the road, we will make other decisions."

Miguel nodded, put away the worry in his eyes, returned to the back of the knights, and continued to watch behind everyone.

The speed of the knight team remained unchanged and they kept traveling at a constant speed in the thick fog.

Four hours later, Chu Ming and his party left the avenue plain and entered the forest avenue.

The location of the forest avenue was getting further and further away from the four dark demon nests near the forest trail. When they arrived here, they still did not encounter the dark demons, and everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, just like the avenue and plains, the forest avenue was still filled with thick fog that could not be dispelled. As the sky gradually darkened, the whole forest became extremely eerie. Chu Ming had no choice but to take out the magic crystal lamp he had prepared before at the front of the team. , while lighting the way forward and rushing on.

Just when the sky was about to darken completely, a faint light appeared in the thick fog that remained unchanged in front of the road.

"Is there someone rushing ahead?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment. He tightened his grip on the horse's belly, gradually accelerated the horse's speed, and chased after the orange light in the thick fog.

Before he could get closer, a surprised voice from a young girl sounded from the front.

"Hey, Ana, look, I told you there's someone here."

After the girl finished speaking, a boy's alert voice sounded next to her.

"Be careful, Your Highness, dark monsters can also use lights to lure pedestrians in the dark night and dense fog."

"Gee, you're just too rigid."

The girl seemed unconvinced and waved in the direction of Chu Ming and others, saying, "Gentlemen, we need help."

Chu Ming's face remained unchanged, but his calm eyes showed a little more vigilance.

The voice of a child appeared in the thick fog of the forest, which was very strange.

What was even more strange was that the language spoken by the two people was not a common language in the world, but he could understand the meaning of their words from their strange syllables.

He did not relax his vigilance just because the two were children, and his muscles were tense and ready to attack at any time.

Behind him, the knights also silently drew their long swords at their waists and stared at the orange-yellow light in the thick fog.

Where the light was, the girl seemed to feel the vigilance of the crowd, and she waved her hand in panic to explain, "Everyone, we are good people."

"Right...right, Ana."

The boy was silent for a while, "Good people don't say they are good people."

"Is...really?"

The girl's voice became more flustered.

As the Knights approached, Chu Ming gradually saw the two figures in the orange-yellow light.

The girl's skin was as white as cream, her black hair was like a waterfall, and her round face was a little chubby. Her lively eyes were shining with mysterious light like stars. She held an orange square lamp in her hand, and there seemed to be creatures like fireflies flying and glowing inside. Under the light, her white clothes were dyed golden, and the whole person seemed to reveal a faint holy breath.

Beside her, a knight boy wearing silver and gold-patterned armor was holding a long sword and looking at Chu Ming and others vigilantly.

Compared with the beautiful girl like a delicate flower, the boy called Ana looked ordinary and his strength was about the deep blue level.

Facing a whole knight group, his black eyes trembled slightly because of fear, but his eyes were very firm, as if he would fight desperately as long as Chu Ming and others approached.

After seeing the appearance of the two people clearly, Chu Ming still did not let down his guard. He stared at the two and said, "Where are you from and why are you here?"

The boy did not answer his question with a tense face, and seemed to be very defensive against him.

The girl was even more confused. She tangled her long hair and leaned close to the ear of the young knight beside her. She asked in what she thought was a low voice: "Ana, did you understand what the knight said?"

The boy's cheeks were slightly red, and he shook his head in panic.

"They don't understand the common language?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, and his mind moved, and his mental fluctuations spread out.

"Where are you from, why are you here?"

The mental fluctuations entered the minds of the two people, and the girl's eyes lit up, and the stars in her eyes shone with light.

"Oh, Ana, he is not a knight, but a mage."

The girl said to the boy, then turned her head and saluted Chu Ming politely: "Respected Mage, we are from the Kingdom of Pashi."

As she said, she showed some distress on her face, "Originally, we were traveling around the continent. When we saw something strange coming here, we planned to come and see it, but we got lost accidentally."

"The Kingdom of Pashi? Are you phantoms?"

Chu Ming was stunned, and the doubtful words came out with a bit of shock.

After the remains of the Pashi Holy Tree appeared in the Thorn Flower County occupied by the evil god, the country called Pashi Divine Kingdom had already entered his vision. When he heard that the girl was from Pashi Divine Kingdom, he realized that the two were phantoms from tens of thousands of years ago.

It was too strange. He had never heard that phantoms could communicate with people in the world, and these two people looked no different from real people, which overturned Chu Ming's cognition of phantoms.

"Phantom?"

The girl showed a deep doubt on her face, "Mr. Mage, what are you talking about?"

As she said, she looked at the young knight beside her, as if asking him if he could understand Chu Ming's words.

The young man showed a little confusion on his face and shook his head.

Chu Ming stared at the two for a while, and he decided to contact the two phantoms first.

He got off his horse, "It's okay, you call me Ryan, what are your names?"

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, the girl said happily: "My name is Lutina, this is the knight who is traveling with me, his name is Ana."

Chu Ming smiled, "I heard that the boy seemed to call you Princess just now, are you the princess of the Kingdom of Pashi?"

"No... No, I'm not."

The girl argued guiltily and glared at the boy next to her.

The boy lowered his head as if he knew he was wrong.

Lutishiya's eyes rolled around, and she pouted and said regretfully: "Mr. Ryan, you recognized the wrong person. Although the Princess Pashi is indeed very beautiful, Ana and I are just civilians from the Kingdom of God."

"This... this guy always likes to play the Princess Knight game with me. You can't trust his words!"

Chu Ming suddenly realized: "Is that so? It seems that I really recognized the wrong person."

"What a pity. If I can see the beautiful Princess Pashi in the legend, I will have no regrets in my life."

Lutishiya couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly, "Is the princess really so charming?"

"Of course."

Chu Ming nodded, changed the subject and asked: "Since you met me here, I can't bear to abandon you here. Where do you want to go, I can escort you there."

The girl was pleasantly surprised: "Great, thank you Mr. Ryan, can you take us to a place called Moonlight Lake?"

The boy next to her couldn't help but pull the girl's skirt. He seemed a little worried about the girl revealing her destination.

"Lutia..."

The girl's silver bell-like laughter sounded in his ears, "Don't be afraid, Ana, I will protect you."

The boy hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Moonlight Lake..."

Chu Ming opened the map roll, and he checked it, but he didn't find a place called Moonlight Lake in the map.

He lowered his head and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Not only does the geographical name not exist, but there is no so-called lake nearby."

It seems that after tens of thousands of years, the so-called Moonlight Lake has long dried up.

He raised his head and asked the girl: "Are you sure this Moonlight Lake is nearby?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, and looked at the boy next to her with a look of help.

Ana nodded and said: "Moonlight Lake is nearby, Mr. Knight, can you show me the map in your hand?"
