Chapter 315 Evolution

"Carter, you deal with it!" Enzo ordered.

Knight Carter nodded, and the Iron Claw Demon Horse under his crotch communicated with the master's mind and immediately launched a charge, and Knight Carter also drew out the cross sword, and orange-red flames ignited around his body.

"Iron Blood Cross Slash!"

Knight Carter's eyes were calm, and the cross sword passed through the air, and the flame-like fighting spirit formed a cross, and launched an attack with the basic swordsmanship of the Iron Knight Academy.

Crack!

There was a sound of cracking from the twisted tree. The crocodile monster was huge, but its movements were very flexible. Its thick limbs crawled like a gecko, avoiding the cross slash, and at the same time pounced forward.

Swish!

The crocodile monster opened its bloody mouth, and Knight Carter immediately swung his sword to cut it. The hard teeth rubbed against the cross sword, making a harsh sound. The crocodile monster fell to the ground, but stood up in a humanoid way.

Gululu!

A strange sound came from its abdomen, and then it opened its mouth and vomited a ball of mucus, which actually contained a broken standard cross sword inlaid with red crystals.

"It's Edmund's weapon!" Carter's eyes condensed, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.

The weapon belonging to his companions appeared in the belly of the crocodile monster, so it was basically certain that Edmund had been killed, and even his body was eaten by the crocodile monster.

After the crocodile monster spit out the broken cross sword, in the eyes of everyone's surprise, it actually stretched out its front claws to grab the hilt.

"Iron Blood Cross Slash."

A strange voice came, and the crocodile monster held the cross sword, like a rune knight, and waved it in a very realistic way, drawing a cross in the air and slashing towards Knight Carter.

Bang!

Knight Carter reacted very quickly, swung his sword and slashed out a sword energy, breaking the cross slash of the crocodile monster.

"Three Flame Slash"

The next moment, the crocodile monster swung the cross sword again, and this time, its movements were even more bizarre, and even blazing flames ignited around its body, turning into three streams of fire and attacking wildly.

Knight Carter's pupils shrank immediately, and he pulled down the shield with his backhand to block in front of him.

Bang!

The three streams of fire hit the shield, and then exploded with a bang. The hot flame energy spread, making the surrounding air glow orange-red. Knight Carter, who was hiding behind the shield, had an ugly expression on his face.

Three Flame Slash, Knight Edmond's self-created skill, is also his strongest combat skill!

"Damn beast!" Knight Carter roared, threw away the shield in his hand, and his eyes were full of surprise and anger. He raised the cross sword in his hand horizontally, level with his shoulder, and suddenly slashed out a violent sword energy in the next moment.

Swish!

As if the air was torn apart, the sword energy was as powerful as a bamboo, and it cut the crocodile monster in front of him in half.

At the original place, Knight Carter's chest was heaving and he was a little out of breath. The sword energy just now was his strongest attack method. He could only use it once a day, and it was a great burden on his body.

The crocodile monster was cut into two pieces, and green juice flowed out of the cut.

"Is it a creature bred by the twisted tree?" Enzo walked forward and looked at the body of the crocodile monster.

The form of this crocodile monster is very similar to the juvenile creature found in the twisted tree fruit before, so it is likely that it is a creature bred by the twisted tree, in the state of entering the complete body.

Enzo leaned down and put his hand into the abdomen of the crocodile monster.

The green blood was a little sticky, like tree sap, and in the body of the crocodile monster, Enzo soon found an organ similar to a stomach sac, and found several broken metal fragments inside.

"It's Edmond's armor." On the side, Knight Carter picked up a metal fragment, and saw the blurred lines on it, and his expression became a little gloomy.

It can be basically confirmed that Edmond has been eaten by the crocodile monster.

"Drag this monster back to the camp!" Enzo stood up and ordered the two rune knights.

The twisted jungle seemed peaceful, but in fact it was full of unknowns and dangers. A pioneering team had disappeared before, so Enzo did not dare to be careless at all. He cautiously decided to drag the crocodile monster back to the camp first, and then consider other things.

Then, the team dragged the crocodile monster back to the camp.

"Why can it make human sounds?" In the largest tent, Enzo looked at the corpse of the crocodile monster on the ground, his eyes flickered, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

"Could it be that after eating Edmond, this monster acquired his abilities?"

Enzo narrowed his eyes, and such a thought came to his mind. According to everything that happened not long ago, it can be known that the crocodile monster has the ability to speak human language, and can use a cross sword and even release fighting skills.

"Chip, biological name: Bionic Crocodile Monster!"

Based on his guess about the crocodile monster, Enzo named it: Bionic Crocodile Monster. This creature was bred by the twisted tree. It was initially inferred that they had the ability to crack the genes of their prey. Therefore, after eating Edmond, they could master the combat skills and abilities that originally belonged to the Rune Knight.

Outskirts of the camp, on a twisted tree in the distance.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes stared at the scene in front of them. It was a bionic crocodile monster. Its originally green body was now integrated with the night, as if it had turned into a shadow.

"Outsider. Brain"

The throat of the bionic crocodile monster trembled, and a female voice was emitted. The twisted trees around it shook slightly.

The entire twisted jungle was like a giant net. The information was transmitted in a special way through the meridians between the trees. Through the eyes of the bionic crocodile monster, in the depths of the jungle, a huge twisted tree was quietly watching the scene of the camp.

It was a giant twisted tree that was as big as a castle.

From the outside, it was no different from other twisted trees, except that it was countless times larger. The only difference was that on the surface of its thick trunk, there was a human-like face.

"After waiting for so long, are you finally here?"

On the surface of the giant twisted tree trunk, a human face showed a strange smile and murmured, "Come here quickly, I can't wait to get everything from you!"

The weak sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees and projected onto the ground.

At the camp, the Rune Knights cleaned up everything around them and then continued the pioneering mission. Enzo rode the black horse transformed by Swain and walked at the front of the team.

After experiencing the bionic crocodile monster incident at night, Enzo was full of vigilance against the twisted jungle.

The jungle was still terribly silent. In addition to a large number of twisted trees, only a few sawgrasses could be seen on the ground occasionally, waving their sawtooth leaves to drive away invaders.

"It seems that not all twisted trees can breed bionic crocodile monsters."

As the pioneering team moved forward, Enzo kept his eyes on the surroundings. He found that the most common plants in the deep twisted jungle were twisted trees, but twisted trees that could breed fruits were extremely rare.

Only when the size reached a certain level, the crocodile monster fruits would grow on the branches of the twisted trees.

When those fruits were cut open, they all contained bionic crocodile monsters that had not yet taken shape. Enzo was a little confused about whether these bionic crocodile monsters that had not "broken their shells" were plants or animals.

"A magical world!" Enzo sighed again in his heart.

As the pioneering team moved forward, they found many strange plants around them, some of which had appeared in Herbert's laboratory, but more of them were new species.

Enzo collected them one by one as new plant samples.

These unknown plant samples can be exchanged for merits after being brought back to the tower. The expedition war is a coexistence of danger and opportunity for everyone, and every merit represents magic stone and resources.

"Alarm! High-energy creatures are found ahead!"

In his mind, the sound of the chip sounded, and the jungle ahead shook slightly. The shadow-like bionic crocodile monster rushed out in vain and pounced on Enzo fiercely.

Snap!

On the ground, the shadow turned into a long whip, whipping the bionic crocodile monster into flight.

Shadow Whip!

One of the prerequisite abilities of solidified witchcraft. After Enzo completely mastered the first-level wizard [Ghost Shadow], the twelve shadow-based witchcrafts seemed to become a part of his body. No matter when, they can be released at any time without casting.

After the bionic crocodile monster was knocked away, it immediately turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.

"Shadow Rune?" Enzo's eyes flashed, and a light blue color floated in his eyes. The outline of the bionic crocodile monster emerged. It didn't actually disappear, but just merged with the surrounding shadows.

Around, the twisted jungle shook.

One by one, the bionic crocodile monsters came out. From their bodies, Enzo could feel a trace of rune breath. Obviously, this group of bionic crocodile monsters had eaten the corpse of the rune knight.

"Could it be that the missing wizard team was attacked by these monsters?"

Enzo frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression on his face, but then shook his head and said, "No, these bionic crocodile monsters have poor combat power individually, and the Rune Knights can't be unable to deal with them."

"What's more, there is a guardian wizard Gram in the wizard team!"

Seeing a group of bionic crocodiles surrounding the pioneer team, Carter and other three rune knights drew their cross swords, and the rest of the rune knights also formed a defensive formation.

Boom!

At this time, a bionic crocodile monster opened its mouth and sprayed a ball of fire.

Knight Carter swung the cross sword and shattered the fireball, and at the same time, the surrounding twisted jungle suddenly began to shake, and vines attacked everyone like poisonous snakes.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The rune knights in the defensive formation swung their swords and released slashes, cutting off the vines that attacked from all around. Enzo, who was in the center of the team, calmly took out an explosive potion and threw it forward.

Bang!

Amid the explosion, a twisted tree was torn into pieces, but this did not stop the invasion of the vines. The bionic crocodiles also began to slowly approach, standing up like humanoid creatures.

"Shadow Spear!"

Enzo calmly looked at a bionic crocodile monster, condensed a number of shadow spears in front of him, and after calculating the angle and trajectory with the chip, all of them shot out.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The speed of the shadow spear was extremely fast, and the body of the bionic crocodile monster was instantly pierced, and a strange sound came from its throat, like the roar of a beast before death.

At this moment, the chip alarm sounded in Enzo's mind.

"Alert! A high-energy creature appears ahead, please get away as soon as possible!"

The surrounding jungle shook, as if the earth was shaking, and a huge figure appeared in front, as tall as a castle, waving thick branches.

"Kahn is dead! You actually killed my Kahn!"

The deafening sound was like the roar of a giant beast. In the astonished eyes of the crowd, a terrifying twisted tree demon slowly appeared, covering the front like a shadow.

Enzo's pupils shrank, and a shock rose in his heart.

It was a huge tree as huge as a castle, with a thick trunk with a diameter of more than 30 meters. There were eyes and a mouth on the surface, like a human face. The whip-like vines hung down, forming a huge canopy.

In the center of the lush tree umbrella, there were clumps of green mucus.

Each ball of mucus is wrapped in a human brain. The blood vessels and branches are connected and have long been integrated. It looks disgusting and weird.

"Are you Enzo?"

After the twisted tree demon appeared, he slowly said, "I recognize you, Gustav's disciple. The third-level apprentice who won the coordinates for the academy in the bloody battle in the secret realm. Has he been promoted to a wizard now?"

Enzo was shocked when he heard what the twisted tree demon said.

"Why do you know these things?" His eyes were stern, and suddenly a thought flashed across his face. Looking at the twisted tree demon's face, he took a breath of air and said in surprise, "Are you the Gram wizard!?"

Before carrying out the mission to explore the Twisted Jungle, Enzo had obtained information about the missing team, and the face on the surface of the twisted dryad trunk was very similar to the wizard of the missing team, Guardian Gram.

"Gram? Yes, that's exactly my name!"

The Twisted Dryad seemed to be thinking. After a moment, a branch pointed to the crown of the tree and said slowly, "I have too many memories, and they are all stored in my brain. Maybe I was a wizard in the past, but now I am obviously not."

Incomprehensible words were spoken in the mouth of the twisted tree demon.

Enzo felt his scalp was numb, some speculations flashed through his mind, and a chill could not help but rise up his spine. He took a breath of air and looked at the crown of the twisted tree demon's head.

Among the lush branches and leaves, brains are wrapped in mucus.

"Could it be that those are the brains of the missing members of the pioneering team?" Suddenly, the thought came to Enzo's mind. The originally unconscious twisted tree evolved into an intelligent creature because it obtained the human brain.

"You killed Wizard Gram!" Enzo said solemnly.

"Kill? No, I have never killed anyone." The Twisted Dryad slowly spoke, denying Enzo's statement and said, "This is just a fusion, a way to evolve towards a higher level of life!"

"Young man, we are different."

The vines around the twisted tree demon swayed, and the bionic crocodile monsters around it all returned to its protection like fledglings returning to their nests. Then they quietly said: "You are still very young. It has been less than a hundred years since you embarked on the wizard's journey. In the future, There are countless possibilities.”

"But I'm different!"

"As a 300-year-old human being, even if I am an official wizard, my life is about to come to an end, and there is no possibility of being promoted to a second-level wizard."

"If I want to live, now is my only chance!"
