Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

After a few hours of driving, the wilderness train entered an old metropolis. Vines and giant trees grew in the reinforced concrete forest, and the gray ruins and green forests were intertwined, giving people a feeling of being in another world.

Yu Yiming pressed his face to the window, carefully observed the scenery outside, and asked curiously: "Is this the city before the ancient trees came? It doesn't look much different from what it is now."

"By the way, Chu Ming, where are we?"

He turned back to look at Chu Ming, who was resting with his eyes closed.

The man opened his eyes and said, "Why are you so anxious? It's at least five days' journey from Liming City to Wushan City. Where are you?"

"Is it so far?!"

Yu Yiming shouted in surprise. He stared at the ruins outside the window for a while, and finally got tired of it and returned to his seat.

"There's still plenty of time, let's play cards."

Chu Ming took out a deck of playing cards and placed them in front of the two of them.

…

Four days later, the train passed through ruins and wilderness camps one after another, stopping three times in other cities. After replenishing fuel and supplies, the train continued towards Wushan City.

Wushan City is located relatively close to the Mythical Forbidden Zone, and the nearby alien resources are much richer than those in Liming City. Wilderness hunters there can even find wild magical plants in the forest.

Of course, being able to find magical plants does not mean that reality has a magical environment. Their existence form is the same as cards. They are not grown naturally, but are projected from another world. As long as they are dug out, they will turn into cards. .

However, the dark creatures near Wushan City are much more powerful than those in Liming City. Epic creatures that are rare in Liming City are everywhere here. Maybe you can encounter an epic creature when you suddenly break into a creature's lair.

Continuing from Wushan City to the depths of the Mythological Forbidden Zone, you can even see legendary creatures and even myths.

At the end of the Wushan Mountains, there has been a legend of the whirling rain monster. People speculate that it is because of the existence of this mythical creature that it has changed the climate near the Wushan Mountains, making it rainy all year round.

As the bridgehead facing the Mythic Forbidden Zone, Wushan City plays an important role in the alliance. Three of the twelve Mythical Card Masters from the Eastern Continent are stationed here in order to monitor and develop the Mythical Forbidden Zone and seize the territory lost by humans from the hands of dark creatures. return.

As soon as the Wilderness Train entered the Wushan City area, the weather outside the window suddenly darkened. The drizzle of rain pattered on the window, and a dull thumping sound sounded.

"You guys, look over there, there seems to be a dark creature there."

Yu Yiming pointed to the rainy forest path outside the window, where a hazy black shadow was walking towards the train.

This creature seems to walk very slowly, but it can actually keep up with the train.

Chu Ming observed it and said, "That should be an epic creature."

"We encountered an epic creature when we first arrived. We don't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky."

As he spoke, there was a trace of hesitation on his face, "Logically speaking, epic creatures have a strong territory and generally will not leave the territory easily."

"And every month there will be legendary card masters looking for the train tracks to clean up the creatures near the tracks. Logically speaking, there should not be epic creatures here."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Ming pressed the red button on the wall.

The speaker under the red button sounded, "Hello, what can I do for you, sir?"

"This is Car No. 7. We saw an epic creature approaching from the eight o'clock direction of the train."

"Thank you for your message. Professional card technicians have already handled it. Please rest assured. I wish you a pleasant journey."

After hanging up the call, the three of them looked out the window and saw a light cannon that looked like the sun suddenly lit up on the train.

call out!

The light cannon quickly approached the epic creature and pushed it back into the forest. A few seconds later, there was a rumble, and soil splashed over, falling on the train with a pattering sound like raindrops.

Liao Qing hugged Susanna and said with some worry: "Is something going to happen?"

The scientific research major that the girl applied for is the study of dark creatures. She is fairly familiar with dark creatures, but she feels a little uneasy about the unusual behavior of the epic creature leaving its lair.

Chu Ming shook his head and said: "I don't know. It would be fine if it was a dark creature below the epic level, but if it was an epic creature that hit the train, maybe something happened near Wushan City."

"No." Yu Yiming opened his mouth wide and clasped his hands together. "God bless me, bah, no, order bless me, this is my first time going out, I don't want to play like this."

Chu Ming glanced at him and said, "It's just an abnormal event. We may not be in trouble. There is a legendary card master on the train. No matter how many epic creatures come, it will be in vain. The train may be affected."

As if to confirm what Chu Ming said, the speed of the wilderness train gradually slowed down, like a giant beast dormant, waiting for opportunities to move in the rain, always on guard against the enemy attacking in the darkness.

Hearing that there was a rumor that the card master was guarding the place, Yu Yiming felt a lot more at ease. After talking to Chu Ming, he went out to buy lunch for today.

When only Chu Ming and Susanna were left on the train, Chu Ming looked out the window, seeming to be observing something.

Liao Qing stared at the man's clean side face. She paused in her heart, and suddenly remembered that there was a legendary card in Chu Ming's hand. Thinking of this, the girl who faced an unknown event after leaving Liming City for the first time felt a little overwhelmed. There was an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

"Not good..."

Chu Ming murmured and looked at the black figures approaching the train in the rain.

These black shadows are none other than dark creatures.

Among them, most of the creatures' auras are at the blue level, a few are at the epic level, and there is no legendary level yet.

These creatures, who would normally fall into an endless fight to the death when they meet, are actually at peace with each other at this moment, and they gather together in the direction of the train.

"A tide of beasts has actually formed... But their goal doesn't seem to be the train, they seem to be avoiding something..."

While Chu Ming was still thinking, there was a vibration throughout the train and it stopped moving.

Liao Qing was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask, when a gentle female voice sounded from the loudspeaker, "The train tracks were destroyed by dark creatures. The train has temporarily stopped running. Please return to your seats and wait for the staff to handle it."

As the words fell, thunder suddenly flashed outside the car window, illuminating the dense swarm of beasts in the darkness.

Amidst the noisy rain and a loud bang, the Razer landed in the forest and wreaked havoc on the entire forest. In the rain, the forest ignited with orange-red flames, embellishing the gloomy forest with a gleam of light.

Liao Qing said in surprise: "Did the legendary card master take action?"

"should be."

"However, looking at the density of this beast swarm, it is estimated that the train will not be able to move for a while. We will have to wait until the abnormal events that occurred in the Wushan Mountains are over."

Liao Qing patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay."

After a while, Yu Yiming and Luther returned to the private room, holding several plates of food. He said with a smile: "Let's eat first. I guess we will spend the night here today."

Chu Ming nodded and summoned Ge Hai and the others.

Outside the train, it was raining continuously, and dark creatures were rushing towards the train like a tide. The roars and gasps echoed with the furious thunder in the rain. From time to time, dark creatures would be blown away, and black blood would splash onto the steel armor of the train. A wisp of white smoke.

Inside the train, the lights were bright, and several people were talking and laughing while enjoying the hot food on the table.

After enjoying lunch, the time gradually came to the afternoon, but the tide of dark beasts still showed no intention of stopping, and the sky became darker and darker. It was obviously still afternoon, but it was pitch black outside, with only the train's searchlights emitting white light, silver thunder, and... There are still flames burning in the forest, bringing light to this dark world.

Susanna lay with her paws in front of the window. She stared at the dark beast tide outside for a long time and frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, she jumped off the ground, came to Liao Qing, and whispered a few words to her.

Liao Qing was stunned and suddenly looked at Chu Ming.

Worried that Yu Yiming was still chatting and laughing with Ge Hai, she turned on her phone and sent several messages to Chu Ming.

Liao Qing: "Brother Chu Ming, something bad seems to have happened."

"Suzanne said that she smelled some chaotic evil atmosphere in some dark creatures. It seems that it is not only the power of blasphemy, but also the power of other evil gods."

Didi...

The screen of Chu Ming's mobile phone lit up. After he saw several messages sent to him by Liao Qing, he thought about it and said to Yu Yiming, "I said it's time to have dinner."

"Where is the barbecue you ordered today? I still want to eat it."

"You said that, I seem to be hungry too." Yu Yiming turned around and said, "I'll go see if there's anything left."

The man stood up and walked out with Luther.

After Chu Ming and a group of cards were left in the private room, Chu Ming took out a card wrapped in red stripes from the card bag under the gaze of Liao Qing and Susanna.

Liao Qing and Susanna were shocked and looked at each other.

Chu Ming glanced at them and didn't explain anything. He just threw the card out. Golden light flashed, and a wizard wearing gray robes and carrying an aura of taboo chaos walked out.

Susanna covered her mouth with her paws, her voice stuttered, and she said with a hint of excitement, "Na...Narende...Sir."

Narender, who was controlled by Chu Ming, nodded towards her and stood quietly behind Chu Ming.

Chu Ming looked at Edel and said, "You stay here. If something unexpected happens, you can still cope with it. Allen and I will go out and see what's going on outside."

Edel smiled and said: "Don't worry."

Chu Ming nodded and lay down on the bed. He turned his face to Liao Qing and said, "I'm going to use the trance to go out and see for myself. If Yu Yiming comes back, just say I'm asleep."

"Also, don't tell anyone what happened today."

In fact, even if Liao Qing said it, it would be okay. The legendary strength can already protect himself, but it will cause a lot of trouble because of the identity leakage.

Liao Qing nodded vigorously, "I won't tell anyone."

"Well, see you later."

Chu Ming closed his eyes, and Narender's eyes lit up with a glint.

"Alan, let's go."

He waved slightly, and the light blue flames ignited, wrapping him and Allen.

In the surprised eyes of Liao Qing and the others, a flash of black appeared, and Narender and the others disappeared into the train.

…

Click, click, click...

Thin raindrops fell in the forest, and the exposed rocks on the mountain loosened and fell into the forest with a crash. The sound of flesh and blood being hit could be heard in the forest, as well as the angry roars of dark creatures.

A curtain of night tore on the cliff, and Chu and Ming walked out of the stream of light with blazing fire on their bodies.

The cold rain dripped down, ignoring the blue flame spirit clothes that soaked their wizard robes.

Chu Ming frowned slightly, tapped his chest, and a wave of golden light shook out. The rain and water vapor were instantly dispersed. In the ripples of golden light, the rain retreated and could not get close to the two of them.

Allen looked down at the thunder that was shining not far away, as well as the raging beast tide and the train surrounded inside. After searching with his eyes, he saw the deformed hands and feet growing on some dark creatures, and they were twisted. There are fangs growing randomly in their mouths. The shapes of these dark creatures are so strange that they seem to be inseparable from the black aura lingering on them.

Chu Ming determined the location of the train, and then looked in the opposite direction of the dark beast tide - deep into the Wushan Mountains.

He took a deep breath and said: "That's right, the abnormal event should have occurred deep in the Wushan Mountains where the mythical creature Swirling Rain Demon is rumored to be haunted. There seem to be some followers of the evil god gathered there."

Strictly speaking, although the Whirling Rain Demon is a mythical creature, it has not ignited the divine fire and has no followers. It has only reached the mythical level by virtue of its powerful racial bloodline.

In addition to the rain monster, a rare elemental creature born in nature, there are also many legendary races that can be promoted to mythology through blood, such as the familiar dragon.

In the age of mythology, some giant dragons relied on gathering faith and igniting divine fire, and were called dragon gods by mortals. Others relied on the power of their own blood to forcibly break through the confinement of power and reach the mythical level. Such dragons were called Dragon King.

The Whirling Rain Demon follows the same path as the Dragon King. It follows the bloodline path, so after projecting reality, it can come to the world without resorting to faith.

This whirling rain demon existed in the mythical age of another world, before Chu Ming rewrote history.

After her appearance, it often rains continuously for several days in the Wushan Mountains.

At the beginning, the Card Master Alliance was still worried that this myth who was close to the city of the Human Alliance would attack humans.

But it turns out that this whirling rain demon did not completely lose its mind after coming to the world in the body of darkness.

According to the research of the Dark Research Institute, elemental beings like the Whirling Rain Demon seem to have unique advantages in fighting against darkness and will not be completely eroded by darkness.

It's just that darkness is not a good thing. Even if the whirling rain demon can resist the erosion of darkness with its elemental body, she will fall into a state of madness controlled by darkness from time to time.

According to many years of human research, the waking period of the Whirling Rain Demon is mostly concentrated in spring and summer when there is abundant rain. After autumn and winter, it is basically the crazy period.

It is now August in the summer. According to calculations, it should be the awakening period of the Whirling Rain Demon. However, it has been a day since the Wilderness Train entered the Wushan area, and it is still raining continuously.

You know, when the Whirling Lich is awake, she can regulate the climate of most of the Eastern Continent and change the rainy season, but now the rain is still falling.

At first, Chu Ming thought that the Whispering Rain Demon just accidentally fell into a period of madness. Now it seems that there may be relatives of evil gods or believers who are causing trouble.

Chu Ming thought for a while and waved to Allen, "Let's move on. If we go in the opposite direction of the beast tide, we should be able to find the location where the abnormality occurred."

After saying that, the flames ignited on their bodies again and disappeared.

…

Deep in the mountains, rain pours down from the clouds like floods, falling into endless lakes as vast as the ocean.

Rumble…

Thunder rang out, and the lake surged and overflowed into the forest.

Under the surface of the surging lake, a red light suddenly lit up inside, sizzling... The lake water and the red light converged, and a large amount of water vapor evaporated. Only a loud sound of landslides and ground cracking was heard. The red light suddenly exploded, and two figures emerged from the lake. Flying out, there was a battle in the sky over the lake.

Looking at the two people through the rain curtain, one of them was wearing glazed silver armor. The armor emitted colorful light and illuminated the darkness. He held a crystal spear in his hand. The light inside was refracted, sometimes forming a red light that burned everything. , sometimes forming a golden light that drives away evil spirits, and sometimes forming a green light that heals the body...

Opposite the Crystal Knight, a long-haired man with his chest exposed and his skin covered with all kinds of strange animal eyes, waved his hand, and countless hands stretched out from behind him to grab the knight.

The two were silent in mid-air and started a duel that lasted for more than an hour.

Then an ancient evil aura emerged from the depths of the mountains, and a giant with disgusting tentacles flew out, throwing several people on him away.

call out!

Boom!

Four figures shot into the forest, trees collapsed, and several deep marks were left on the ground.

Around the long-haired man with beast eyes, black mist gradually condensed, and a hunched-over old human mage, a thin monkey man, and a giant covered with various strange organs appeared one by one.

The Crystal Knight opposite felt something was wrong, and his figure just paused before turning into a stream of light and fleeing towards the forest.

The old mage said cheerfully: "I just want to run away now, it's too late."

He waved his staff slightly, and a desolate and chilly aura appeared between heaven and earth.

In an instant, the rain froze and turned into ice. The stream of light that escaped in mid-air hit the ice prison. He just looked down and his body was broken layer by layer like ice. Then it turned into a red broken card and was wrapped in golden light. Flying into the distance.

In the forest, the four figures that had been shot into the forest reunited, hiding from the sight of several of the Evil God's followers above the lake.

One of the mages waved his staff, and four human card masters appeared.

If there are Wushan University students here, they will definitely be able to recognize the identities of four people - Shi Lifeng, director of the card combat department of Wizard University, Luo Cheng, instructor of the card combat department, and Huang Xu and Jiang Zhu, city defense sergeants.
