Chapter 284 Roadblocker, Draw Your Sword

"There are so many densely packed dark nests in the Age of Gods, and they have descended on the territory of the Kingdom of Reran."

Chu Ming retracted his dark shadow and frowned secretly.

If we continue to move forward like this...it's okay if we encounter a dark magic tide, but it will be a big trouble if we encounter a dark nest.

Chu Ming glanced at Lutishia and Ana beside him, and then glanced at the thick fog behind him.

"This place is not far from Beltram, and the location of the dark nest is not hidden. Maybe the dwarf army has already encountered it, but they are still dealing with it."

"With my current strength, even if I can't defeat the nest, I can still lead the Knights to retreat. It's better to explore the way ahead, maybe I can meet the dwarf knights."

Chu Ming opened the parchment map in deep thought. After he aimed at the direction, his eyes were fixed on the valley called Hot Stone Valley. In the words of Lutishia and Ana, Hot Stone Valley seemed to be a lake called Moonlight Lake a long time ago.

The location of Hot Stone Valley is just near the forest avenue, and they can reach it in half a day.

But Chu Ming always had a hunch that the so-called Moonlight Lake was closely related to the Dark Demon Nest, but he didn't know why Lutishia and the others were going to the Moonlight Lake.

The phantom had to follow history, and it was no coincidence that Lutishia and Ana appeared here.

"Traveling through the dark demon tide, what they did was related to the Dark Demon Nest..."

"It seems that I have to go over and take a look, at least I have to figure out what they are doing here."

Chu Ming rolled up the parchment roll and hung it around his waist.

He raised the magic crystal lamp with his right hand, and then shouted to the knight behind him: "Miguel, count the number of people, let's move on."

"Yes!"

The sound of horseshoes sinking into the mud sounded behind the knights. Miguel counted from the back of the team to the front, saluted Chu Ming and said: "Report to the captain, no one is left behind."

"Very good." Chu Ming waved, "Everyone follow me."

Dong Dong Dong...

The knight team continued to move towards the depths of the fog. The closer they got to the Hot Stone Valley, the more dark monsters wandered on the road, and black fog gradually appeared in the white fog.

Chu Ming paused, and he already had the answer in his mind.

After moving forward for two hours, the number of dark monsters increased, and they began to gather into waves of demons.

Boom!

Facing the surging demons, Chu Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even draw his sword. The majestic thunder formed a thunder field that enveloped all the dark monsters.

A tragic cry sounded from the forest, and a trace of burning smell floated up. The dark monsters turned into ashes under the ravages of thunder and merged into the thick fog.

Behind Chu Ming, the boy's eyes flashed with lightning. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel his heart surging, and recalled the inheritance of the Cloud Thunder Knight that Chu Ming gave him in his mind.

After clearing out the surrounding dark monsters, the knight team did not stop, but kept moving forward at a constant speed under the protection of thunder.

However, what Chu Ming didn't expect was that the dark monsters couldn't stop his steps, and he was stopped by a team of dwarf knights instead.

"Stop!"

The dwarf in full armor smashed the copper hammer to the ground, and with a "bang!", he blocked the knights' way.

After Chu Ming and his men slowed down their horses and stopped in front of the dwarf knight, the dwarf knight said solemnly: "The road ahead is dangerous and is prohibited from passing."

Chu Ming's mind moved, and he asked the dwarf: "Excuse me, sir, is there a dark demon nest ahead?"

The dwarf did not show any surprise. Since Chu Ming and his men were able to appear here, they must have known about the dark demon nest.

He nodded slowly, but his body had no intention of moving away.

Chu Ming was not in a hurry to pass through, he continued to ask: "Excuse me, where is the specific location of the Dark Demon Nest?"

The dwarf knight said with a stern face: "No comment, you should leave here first. We will send people to post the specific traffic notice to the nearby towns, and then you can pass through this road."

Seeing that the dwarf was so tight-lipped, Chu Ming frowned at first, and then relaxed, with a smile on his face, "To be honest with you, sir, we came from Beltram, and the Dark Demon Nest over there has been solved."

"Since we encountered a new Dark Demon Nest on the road, perhaps we can help."

The dwarf glanced at the knights behind Chu Ming and shook his head, "Young man, the strength of the epic is solid. That's true, but the dark magic tide is not lacking in epic creatures. "

"Facing the dark magic tide, you may be able to protect yourself, but it's too difficult to lead this knight team through the dark magic tide."

Chu Ming's smile remained unchanged, "I don't think so. You may have some misunderstandings about me and my knights."

"Misunderstanding?" The dwarf knight laughed and said, "Prove it to me."

"The average strength of my knight team is at the epic level. I am an epic two-star knight. As long as you can convince us, we naturally have no reason to stop you."

"I'm sorry."

Chu Ming smiled and saluted the dwarf knight team, and then the dwarf knight made way. He jumped off his horse and faced the magic tide.

In front of him, dense blood lights lit up in the thick fog, and dark shadows walked slowly towards him with a strong sense of oppression.

"Teacher, there are too many monsters. "

Ana had a worried look on his face. Although he and Chu Ming had known each other for less than a day, the man's selfless teaching had left a deep impression on him. He recognized this teacher from the bottom of his heart.

"Teacher, why don't you let me do it? I'm very powerful."

Lutisia, who was sitting in front of Ana, was eager to try and waved her fist.

Chu Ming shook his head and said, "It's just a small trouble."

"Hahaha, I hope your tone is as big as your strength."

The dwarf knights on both sides of the road laughed. This smile was not a mockery. After all, a young epic knight was much more talented than them. They just couldn't help but smile when they saw their former youthful and energetic appearance in Chu Ming.

Chu Ming stood in the middle of the wide road. In front of him, black shadows surged in the thick fog, and blood light was getting closer with the roar of wild beasts.

He shouted, "Knights, give me a hand!"

"Yes, Captain!"

On horseback, the knights showed serious expressions, and golden flames rose from them and burned more and more vigorously, wrapping the entire knight team in golden flames.

Lutisia and the other two were wrapped in golden flames, but they did not feel any discomfort. Instead, they felt that they were wrapped in warmth. Their minds were shaken and they vaguely heard the roars of the knights.

The girl showed a curious look on her face and reached out to grab the golden flames. The golden flames flowed out from the gaps between her fingers like mist and floated forward.

Ana's face was full of joy. How pure and powerful this knight's power was. Isn't this the knight's power he has been pursuing?

"What is this?"

The dwarf knights on both sides of the road showed surprised expressions on their faces. They had lived for most of their lives and it was the first time they had seen such a scene. Before this, they had never thought that the power of the knights could be integrated and exert a power beyond the whole.

The dwarf knight who had been talking to Chu Ming before paused in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he had to admit defeat this time.

The surging golden flames surged forward like waves, and spiraled around Chu Ming's shoulders and arms, as if he was wearing a flame cloak for him.

In fact, after Chu Ming broke through the epic, the increase in his burning will had become very weak. The reason why he still let the Knights release the burning will was mainly to prove to the dwarf knights that the Knights had the ability to protect themselves.

And he himself would prove to the dwarf knights that he was not afraid of the dark magic tide.

Chu Ming stood in place, his hand pressed on the scabbard, and thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he pulled out the sword of guidance above the dark shadow.

"Since you want to show your strength, you might as well do it openly."

He held the hilt of the sword tightly with his ten fingers, and raised the sword of guidance, which was flashing with the breath of destructive thunder, to a position where the hilt was parallel to his right chest.

Rumble... A dull thunder suddenly sounded above the thick fog, and the dwarf knight and Lutishia couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The dark clouds covered the sky, and the forest became darker, but under the flashing of lightning, the forest alternated between light and darkness, as if it was a warning to everyone, foreshadowing something was about to happen.

Chu Ming's eyes were gradually covered with majestic gold, and strands of golden flames flowed out of his pupils.

He sank down, his muscles tensed, and with a low roar, lightning suddenly flashed from him, dyeing him and the environment into a contrasting black and white.

Under the horrified eyes of the dwarf knight, the roar of the thunder dragon fell from the sky, tearing through the thick fog and directly hitting Chu Ming.

Boom! !

The white light flashed in everyone's pupils, and they couldn't help holding their breath, and their hearts missed a beat because of the might of the thunder.

In the center of the thunder's rage, the suppressed thunder was like a boulder hitting everyone's heart, making people breathless.

The next second, Chu Ming's figure vaguely appeared from the thunder, and he suddenly swung the long sword in his hand.

Boom! !

The thunder that was lingering around Chu Ming turned into thousands of thunder snakes with this sword, entwined with each other and shot through the fog, exploding into the dark demon tide.

Boom!

The thunder roared continuously, and the huge stone that was pressing on everyone's heart also turned into a violent storm at the moment when the thunder raged, and was freely swayed. The magnificent thunder light bloomed freely in the road and forest, and the thick fog was completely dissipated. As soon as the dark monster appeared in everyone's sight, it quickly turned into flying ash, and turned into wisps of black fog and followed the strong wind to blow away.

After a long time, the thunder gradually subsided, and there was only a charred area in front of Chu Ming. Even the trees turned into a pile of black charcoal on the ground in this thunder catastrophe. It was completely impossible to see that there was a dark monster nearby before.

Because the strong wind brought by the thunderclouds gradually calmed down, the thick fog came from all directions, covering the charred and mess in front of them, and the surroundings returned to calm again.

But at this time, the dwarf knights could not calm down. They stared at the figure standing in front of the thick fog, their faces stiff, and they could not say anything.

Ana's performance was the same as those of the dwarf knights. He had never thought that he could release such great power with the power of a knight alone. After all, he witnessed it with his own eyes, which was more shocking than what he saw yesterday when he saw the epic knight inheritance.

"Teacher Ryan, it's so powerful..."

Lutizia also showed some surprise on her face, "It's so powerful, it must be very painful to be struck by lightning."

In front of everyone, the golden flames in Chu Ming's eyes dissipated, and his chest gradually calmed down. He put back the long sword that was beating with electric arcs into its wooden sheath, turned around, and walked towards the dwarf knight.

He asked with a smile: "My lord, what do you think? Is this kind of strength qualified to support the knights against the Dark Demon's Nest?"

"Gulu..."

The power of thunder lingering on Chu Ming has not completely disappeared. Chu Ming came closer, and the remaining power in his eyes was like needles piercing directly into the skin, making people feel a faint sting.

The dwarf knight couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and subconsciously took a step back.

The man's face suddenly turned red. He, a two-star epic knight, was scared away by a one-star epic knight. It was so shameful.

He lowered his head and said: "Mr. Human, please move on. I apologize to you."

Chu Ming shook his head and chuckled: "No, you didn't do anything wrong. It's right to stop pedestrians from approaching the dangerous Dark Demon's Nest. It's just that you don't understand the power of me and my knights. There is just a misunderstanding between us. You Don’t take it to heart.”

Hearing this, the dwarf knight raised his head, his eyes full of enthusiasm. He laughed boldly and said: "Hahaha, I didn't expect there to be such an interesting human being like you. My name is Barry. What's your name? Wait for the Dark Demon's Nest It’s settled, let’s go have a drink together.”

Chu Ming held the dwarf's hand and said, "Ren."

"There's no need to drink. In fact, we have to rush back to Clinton Kingdom."

A disappointed expression suddenly appeared on the dwarf knight's face, and the man regretted: "It's such a pleasure to drink with a warrior like you. It's such a pity."

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Perhaps I will come to Reran Kingdom again in the future, and it will not be too late to drink again in the future."

"Hahaha, good."

After finishing the pleasant chat with the dwarf knights, Chu Ming bid farewell to the dwarves, mounted his horse, led the knights past the dwarf knights, and continued to drive towards the front of the road.

Under the illumination of the magic spar lamp in Chu Ming's hand, the charred land that had just been bombarded by Chu Ming appeared in front of everyone. The horse's hooves stepped on the charred soil and splashed black dust.

Ana looked down at the scorched land with a fascinated expression on his face. He hesitated and asked Chu Ming in front of him: "Teacher Ren, can I reach your level in the future?"

Chu Ming turned his face slightly and sighed inwardly. The boy was just a shadow. Even if he could practice the Cloud Thunder Knight inheritance, he would eventually burst like a bubble in a dream.

He didn't have a deep relationship with the boy. He just felt pity for his student. He could feel Ana's desire for knowledge and love for the way of chivalry. If he could have been born tens of thousands of years later, In time, you will have the opportunity to come into contact with the epic knight inheritance, or even the legendary knight inheritance.

Pity.

Thoughts flashed through Chu Ming's mind. He did not say any words of regret, but just smiled and said: "It is still very difficult to be like me, but as long as you can maintain the enterprising spirit of the knight, even if It won’t be a problem if you pass me in the future.”

Ana's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded vigorously: "I will definitely work hard, teacher."

Luticia, who was sitting in front of the boy, quickly raised her hand and said, "Teacher, teacher, I will help you supervise Ana. If he dares to be lazy, I will spank him."

Ana's cheeks suddenly turned red and he called the girl, "Luticia..."

"Hehe, I won't show mercy, I must hit you hard."

Chu Ming glanced back at the two noisy people behind him and couldn't help but smile.

The team of knights drove a thousand meters away and left the range of the scorched land. In front of them, a wave of dark demons surged. After hearing the sound of galloping horses, the monsters roared and rushed towards the team of knights.

Most of these dark monsters were below the epic level in strength. Chu Ming looked at the map and hurried on. Thunder spurted from his body, raging crazily in the demonic tide. Many dark monsters disappeared before they appeared in his sight.

Chu Ming put his mind on the map and began to think deeply.

After chatting with the dwarf knight Barry just now, he also figured out the location of the Dark Demon's Nest. As expected, the Dark Demon's Nest was located in the Hot Stone Valley. It was the Moonlight Lake that Luticia and I kept talking about.

"So their target has always been the Dark Demon's Nest?"

Chu Ming turned his head sideways and glanced at the two people who were laughing and playing.

The mysterious shadow has the ability to communicate with people in the world, and its identity is unusual. If Chu Ming guessed correctly, Lutitia should be Princess Pashi of the Pashi Kingdom.

He had a hunch that once he arrived at Hot Stone Valley, he would be able to solve some of the doubts in his heart, such as why Luticia and the others appeared here and why they went to Moonlight Lake.

But the price of reaching the destination should be that the two of them disappear.

Chu Ming learned from his cheap uncle Jerome that phantoms do not exist permanently. They will automatically dissipate after completing a thing or solving their own obsessions.

This is why phantoms appear frequently in various places, but Chu Ming rarely sees them.

Unlike the dark demon nests and dark monsters supported by dark power, the shadows of the creatures of the old world generally only exist for a few hours before dissipating, and special shadows can only last for a few months at most.

From the moment Chu Ming met Lutishia and the others, their obsession had always been to go to Moonlight Lake to complete something. In other words, when they completed the task at Moonlight Lake, it would dissipate.

"I hope to get the answer to my doubts from Hot Stone Valley later."

Chu Ming rolled up the map and put it away, and put all his attention back to clearing the dark magic tide and rushing on the road.

Crackling... The knight team plunged into the dark magic tide with sparks and lightning, like a sharp knife, splitting all the darkness.

The knight team continued to drive forward for more than an hour, and the surrounding dark magic tide became more and more dense, like waves hitting the knight team in waves.

In front of the thick fog, a huge black shadow hundreds of meters high sat in the middle of the road. From the map, that place was the location of Hot Stone Valley.

Boom!

A dull bombardment sound came back from the front, and it sounded like the sound of a blunt instrument hitting metal, but the sound could actually reach everyone's ears from the noisy magic tide, which was enough to show how strong the knock was.
