Chapter 396: The Journey Begins, Mental Strength Surges
Three days later, Fairy Club.
"Ryan, Ryan, the big guy is back!"
Lu Teng said excitedly, flying back from outside holding a newspaper that was several times taller than her.
"Let me see."
Chu Ming took the newspaper, which was published by the Voice of Aredro. The title showed - "The Aredro route is restarted, and the adventure is about to begin."
"Is the time today?"
Lu Teng nodded vigorously and said, "There are many adventurers waiting outside the city for the big guy to come back. I don't know how many adventurers are still alive inside."
"Lu Teng, pack up and go with me."
Chu Ming had already made preparations, just waiting for the day when the mountain giant returned.
"Oh, I'll be there soon."
Lu Teng looked anxious and flew to the corridor.
Taking advantage of the gap in time, Chu Ming left the Fairy Club and appeared in the flower shop.
"Flowers for sale, beautiful and fragrant white beauties."
Irina ran to the street and waved, "Sir, buy one."
Mina followed her like a little bug, nodded vigorously and said, "Sir, buy one."
The man passing by smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Irina, Boss Mina, if you buy one flower a day, my wife will start gossiping."
"I remember that the son of Boris from the blacksmith shop is pursuing Michelle from the opera house recently. It's more appropriate to sell it to him."
"Okay."
Irina took back her hands that handed out the flowers.
"Irina, Mina."
Chu Ming shouted outside the store.
"Master?" Irina turned around and trotted back.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Chu Ming patted her head, "I should go, you have to listen to Sister Vera, and if you miss home, you can ask Sister Green Lake to take you back."
"So soon..." Irina lowered her head shyly, looking unhappy.
"Then you must be careful, young master."
"I know. Take good care of Mina."
"Of course. Whoever wants to bully Mina has to get past me first." Irina said with her hands on her hips.
In the flower shop, Green Ivy flew out. She looked around and got into Chu Ming's body.
"Huh? Ryan, why is there a little guy in your body?"
"Woo woo."
For Green Ivy who suddenly broke in, Thunder Dragon Bird called out curiously.
"Hehe, it's so fun."
"Let's go." Chu Ming waved to Irina and Mina, his body floated in the air, and flew towards the coastline on the side close to the mountain giant at a high speed.
Green Ivy reminded: "Sister Vera and Sister Green Lake are waiting there. We can see them when we go there."
"After you get on the big guy's body, just follow my instructions. We have a secret space inside, and I guarantee that no one else knows."
...
Four minutes later, Chu Ming flew out of the city.
On the ground road, adventurers lined up in a long queue and ran to the starting point of the route on the mainland.
Some of them were going to greet friends who were taking the Aledro route, and some were going to get first-hand information brought back by adventurers.
There were also adventurers like Chu Ming who were going to take the route to start their adventure.
Passing through the dense forest, a deep valley leading to an unknown end appeared in front of Chu Ming.
Because the deep valley bordered the ocean, seawater poured back into the deep valley, forming a river dozens of kilometers long.
Adventurers gathered near the long river, staring straight at the dark ocean, looking forward to it.
Lu Teng reminded: "Sister and the others are in front of us."
Chu Ming looked over and saw Vera chatting with Alice in the Mage Tower, and not far from them were the knights of the Severe Winter Legion.
After he fell to the ground, he attracted the attention of many adventurers.
In the Severe Winter Legion, Cesar glanced at him with a cold look and stopped paying attention.
"Lord Ryan, good afternoon."
Alice smiled softly and greeted him with Vera.
"Hello, Ms. Alice." The woman glanced at the Winter Legion not far away, "I heard that you are going to take the Aledro route?" She said with a serious face: "My advice is to give up this idea." "The Winter Legion has sent half of its knights into the dark world. If you follow them, I can't guarantee your safety." The Holy Tree Knights are heroes after all. If they are buried in the dark world, Aledro may also be affected. Chu Ming chuckled and said, "Ms. Alice, I understand your concerns, but please rest assured that I have made preparations." He has Green Vine as a guide, and his own strength is enough to protect himself. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for anything to threaten him. Seeing that he was so determined, the woman sighed and stopped advising. Not long after, at the end of the dark world, a huge black shadow gradually walked towards the continent. The closer the giant got, the more shocking its magnificent body was. Chu Ming looked up and saw that the mountain giant was like a huge mountain moving in the ocean, stirring the sea water to cause a tsunami, and walked towards the predetermined location. The giant seemed to move slowly, but in fact, it could cross more than ten kilometers in one step.
The half of its body submerged in the ocean gradually emerged from the water, towering into the clouds, buried in the dark clouds that were so dark that water could drip out.
"Look, someone is up there!"
On the body of the mountain giant, several adventurers like black dots flew out.
"Land, land!"
Their faces were withered and yellow, and their words were full of obsession with the land.
One of the adventurers fell to the ground in ragged clothes, and regardless of his image, he raised his hands excitedly and shouted: "It's true, the legend is true, there really are goblins in the dark world, in the Black and Red Continent." superior."
As soon as this statement came out, the crowd immediately became noisy.
"So the legend is true?!"
"Hiss, if you don't wait for the mainland, what are those goblins doing in the dark world?"
"I heard that the price of a goblin on the market has reached a sky-high price of several million gold coins. If you can catch one, you will make a fortune."
"I must go this time!"
Listening to the noise of the people around him, Lu Teng asked fearfully: "Ren, what should I do? If these bad guys discover the fairy forest, the fairy will be captured."
Chu Ming comforted himself in his heart: "Don't worry, I'm here for this trip to the dark world, and I won't let them succeed."
Vera also came over here, and she said with her mental power: "Don't worry, with these guys, even if they discover the Fairy Forest, they cannot be the opponents of the royal family."
"But you have to be careful on this journey so as not to reveal your identity as a goblin."
Lu Teng said seriously: "Sister Vera, don't worry, I will take Ren and hide well. These bad guys will definitely not be able to find me."
"Boom!"
The mountain giant stepped onto the shore with its giant legs, trampling the beach into a deep pit in the ground, and followed the path of the river.
"Boom!"
The water splashed everywhere, turning into rain and falling on both sides of the river. Alice gently waved her hand to stop the falling muddy water.
"Lord Ren, now is the best time to climb the mountain giant. Please come back safely."
Chu Ming waved to everyone and said, "Goodbye."
As soon as he flew into the air, he was swamped by locust-like adventurers.
"Come on!"
"Everyone follow me."
Cesar organized his team and flew towards the mountain giant.
He glanced down at Chu Ming in the crowd, turned to the knight aside and said, "Keep an eye on him, I will kill him when he enters the dark world."
"yes."
Several knights saluted, disguised themselves, and flew towards the crowd.
"Ren, those bad guys seem to have sent people here."
Chu Ming glanced at the disguised knights around him and said, "Ignore them, let's just get rid of them and go up to talk."
"Uh-huh."
Green Vine hurriedly said: "Ren, let's fly up to the big guy's head. After entering the deep sea, other parts will be submerged by sea water."
"There are four gathering places opened by humans on the top of the giant's head and the bridge of his nose. Each gathering place can accommodate tens of thousands of people. They usually share information and trade items there."
"The secret base opened by the goblins is far away from the gathering place of humans. Just fly up. I will remind you."
Chu Ming nodded slightly, and thunder and lightning arose on his body, as fast as lightning, and suddenly shot straight into the sky, throwing away several knights who were following him nearby.
He lowered his head in the sky and looked at Cesar, both of whom could see the murderous intent in the other person's eyes.
"Ren, we have to keep going up."
"Violent!"
Chu Ming summoned the Thunder Dragon Bird, broke through the clouds, and saw the giant's head, like an island floating in the clouds.
There are even sparse forests on the top, and water mist gathers on the mountain peaks, forming several rivers flowing down. This place is more full of life than Chu Ming imagined.
"It's just under that mountain peak. I'll go there quickly."
At this time, many people had already boarded the island. Chu Ming ignored them and flew towards the highest mountain peak on the Skull Island.
Guided by the green vines, he circled through the mountain stream, deep into the dark cave, and stopped in front of a flat stone wall.
With a "pop" sound, the green vine left Chu Ming's body and said proudly: "Do you know where this is?"
She cast a spell and painted beautiful lines on the stone wall.
After a while, the stone wall glowed brightly and a whirlpool appeared.
"Let's go in quickly."
Lu Teng was the first to rush into the whirlpool, followed closely by Chu Ming.
He felt as if he had entered an ocean, and the sound of water flowing in the cave was blocked and gradually disappeared.
Floating in mid-air, there is a shimmering ground below that can be seen as far as the eye can see.
The green vine flew freely in mid-air and said with a smile: "This is the core of the mountain giant. It is only open to kind creatures."
"The core of the mountain giant?!"
Chu Ming was shocked.
"Yes, if you see the mist floating in the sky, it is pure spiritual power."
Chu Ming subconsciously raised his left hand, and he found that the crimson mark on the back of his hand was faintly glowing red, absorbing the spiritual power floating in the air.
"Could it be that this huge mythical creature is still alive?"
Lu Teng shook his head innocently and said, "I don't know."
"But I heard from my sister that the big thing seems to have been a stone touched by the God of War. After years of vicissitudes, it has grown from a small stone to such a huge one."
Chu Ming couldn't help but sigh, "Just touching it can make a mythical creature come into being. The divine power is really magnificent."
He looked down at the shining earth, "I don't know what He is thinking, what is the purpose of walking day after day, year after year..."
Midori scratched her head. This kind of question was still too profound for her.
In her opinion, the big guys are the big guys, and the big guys keep walking just like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. It is the eternal law of the world, so why so many whys.
Lu Teng hugged his arm and said, "Ryan, do you want to go out and take a look? Those human gathering places must be very lively now."
Chu Ming stroked her head with his fingers, "Give me some time, okay? This is a good place to practice. I will take you out after I improve my strength."
"How long will it take?"
Chu Ming looked at the scarlet stigma on the back of his hand, "Not much, about a year. By then, the mountain giants should also leave the continent and enter the dark world."
"Okay then." Lu Teng pursed his lips.
"Then I will sleep for a while, remember to wake me up."
"Don't worry."
Lu Teng lay on Chu Ming's thighs, found a comfortable position, and gradually snored slightly.
"There is plenty of spiritual power here, and a year should be enough for me to break through the mage level."
Thinking calmed down, Chu Ming closed his eyes and entered meditation.
...
One year later
Chu Ming remained unchanged in the core space, while the green vine lying on his thigh was still sleeping soundly.
Only the scarlet holy mark was flickering, indicating that Chu Ming's consciousness had not fallen into death.
The space was dead silent forever, and the pure spiritual power rose like mist.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes.
"Finally a breakthrough."

When the mage level was promoted to Legendary 2-star, Chu Ming also branded a ninth-level forbidden spell - Bloody Roar.
He stretched out his right hand, and the green light lit up. The surrounding elemental forces gathered into a vague shadow, and the bloodthirsty howl of the beast came out from it.
This is a dark spell that can imitate the roar of thousands of beasts and bring great impact to people's spirit.
The legend has no ability to resist this spell. Once hit, it may even die from the shock of the spirit sea.
Even the legend will have a short mental trance when facing this spell, and it is more effective for the legend knight with weaker mental power.
The most terrifying thing is that it can take effect on the group, and one person can shock an entire army. He prepared it specifically for the Winter Legion.
