Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

"It's surprising that such a dense nest of dark demons descended on the Kingdom of Reran during the Age of Gods."

Chu Ming withdrew the dark shadow and frowned secretly.

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

Chu Ming glanced at Luticia and Ana next to him, and then glanced at the thick fog behind him.

"This place is not far from Beltram. The location of the Dark Demon's Nest is not hidden. Maybe the dwarf army has encountered it a long time ago and is just still dealing with it."

"With my current strength, even if I can't defeat the Demon Nest, I can still retreat with the knights intact. Why not go ahead and explore the way ahead, maybe I can meet the dwarf knights."

Chu Ming opened the parchment map in deep thought. After aligning his position, he kept staring at the valley called Hot Stone Valley. According to Luticia and Ana, Hot Stone Valley seemed to be a lake a long time ago, named Moonlight Lake.

The location of Hot Stone Valley is right near the Forest Avenue, and they can reach it by walking for half a day.

But Chu Ming always had a hunch in his heart that the so-called Moonlight Lake and the Dark Demon's Nest were inseparable. He just didn't know why Lutitia and the others went to Moonlight Lake.

The shadow must follow history, and it is no coincidence that Luticia and Ana appear here.

"Walking through the dark demon tide, are the things you do related to the dark demon nest..."

"It seems like we have to go and have a look. At least we need to find out what the two of them are doing here."

Chu Ming rolled up the sheepskin and carried it around his waist.

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

"yes!"

The sound of horseshoes sinking into the soil was heard behind the knight team. Miguel counted from the back of the team to the front, saluted Chu Ming and said: "Report to the leader, no one is left behind."

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

Dong dong dong...

The knight team continued to march deeper into the thick fog. The closer they got to Hot Stone Valley, the more dark monsters wandered on the road, and black mist gradually appeared in the white thick fog.

Chu Ming paused in his heart and already had the answer in his heart.

After moving forward for two hours, the number of dark monsters was increasing, and they had begun to gather into waves of demons.

boom!

Facing the surging demonic tide, the expression on Chu Ming's face remained unchanged. He didn't even pull out his long sword. The majestic thunder formed a thunder field and enveloped all the dark monsters in it.

Tragic screams rang out from the forest, and the smell of burning wafted up. Under the raging thunder, the dark monsters turned into fly ash and merged into the thick fog.

Behind Chu Ming, the young man's eyes flashed with lightning. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel his heart surge, and he recalled the inheritance of the Cloud Thunder Knight that Chu Ming had given him.

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

But what Chu Ming didn't expect was that the dark monster couldn't stop him. Instead, he was stopped by a group of dwarf knights.

"stop!"

The dwarf wearing full armor slammed the copper hammer down to the ground, and with a "Boom!" sound, he blocked the path of the knights.

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

Chu Ming's mind moved and he asked the dwarf: "My lord, please tell me if there is a dark demon nest ahead."

The dwarf did not show any surprise. Since Chu Ming and the others were able to appear here, they must have known about the Dark Demon's Nest.

He nodded slowly, but made no move to move his body.

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

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

Seeing the dwarf's mouth being so tight, Chu Ming frowned at first, and then relaxed. A smile appeared on his face, "To be honest with you, sir, we came from Beltram. The dark demon over there is The nest has been dealt with.”

"Since we encountered a new Dark Devil's Nest on the road, maybe we can help."

The dwarf glanced at the knights behind Chu Ming and shook his head, "Young man, the strength of epics is certainly good, but the most indispensable thing in the dark demon tide is epic creatures."

"In the face of the dark demonic tide, you may be able to protect yourself, but it is still too reluctant to lead this team of knights through the dark demonic tide."

The smile on Chu Ming's face 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 a two-star epic knight. As long as you can convince us, we will naturally have no reason to stop you."

"Offended."

Chu Ming smiled and saluted the team of dwarf knights. Then the dwarf knights moved out of the way. He jumped off his horse and faced the demonic tide.

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

"Teacher, there are too many of these monsters."

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

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

Luticia, who was sitting in front of Ana, was eager to try and waved her fists.

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

"Hahaha, I hope your tone is as strong 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 saw in Chu Ming their former youthful and energetic appearance. Just keep smiling.

Chu Ming stood in the middle of the spacious road. In front of him, black shadows surged in the thick fog, and the bloody light came closer and closer along with the roars of beasts.

He shouted: "Knights, help me!"

"Yes, leader!"

On horseback, the knights all showed serious expressions, and golden flames rose from their bodies and burned more and more intensely, wrapping the entire knight team in the golden flames.

Luticia and Luticia were wrapped in golden flames, but they did not feel any discomfort. Instead, they felt themselves being wrapped in a warmth. In a flash of mind, they vaguely heard the roar of the knights.

A curious look appeared on the girl's face, and she reached out to catch the golden flame. The golden flame flowed out from the gaps between her fingers like mist and floated forward.

Ana's face was full of joy. This knight's power was so pure and majestic and powerful. Isn't this the knight's power he had been pursuing so hard.

"This is?"

The dwarf knights on both sides of the road had expressions of surprise on their faces. This was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a scene. Before that, they had never thought that the knights' powers could be fused together, and that they could also Unleash the power beyond the whole.

The dwarf knight who had been talking to Chu Ming before was stunned. He suddenly felt that he was about to admit defeat this time.

The raging golden flames surged forward like waves and spiraled around Chu Ming's shoulders and arms, as if he was covered with a cloak of flames.

In fact, after Chu Ming broke through the epic, the increase of burning will on him has become very weak. The reason why he still let the knights release burning will is mainly to prove to the dwarf knights that the knights have the ability to protect themselves.

And he himself will prove to the dwarf knights that he is not afraid of the dark demonic tide.

Chu Ming stood there, pressing his hand on the scabbard, thoughts flashing through his mind, and finally pulled out the sword of guidance above the dark shadow.

"Since you want to show your strength, why not do it openly and openly."

He grasped the hilt of the sword tightly with his ten fingers, and raised the sword that flashed with the thunderous aura of destruction to a position where the hilt was parallel to his right chest.

Rumble... A dull thunder suddenly sounded above the thick fog. The dwarf knight and Luticia couldn't help but look up to the sky.

Clouds covered the sky, and the forest became darker. However, under the flash of thunder, the light and darkness of the forest alternated, as if it was a warning to everyone, indicating that something was about to come.

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

His body sank, his muscles tightened, and he let out a low cry. Lightning suddenly flashed out from his body, dyeing him and the environment in contrasting black and white.

Under the horrified gaze of the dwarf knight, the thunder dragon roared from the sky, tore through the thick fog, and struck Chu Ming directly.

Boom! !

The white light in everyone's eyes kept flashing, and they couldn't help but hold their breath, and their hearts skipped a beat because of the power of the majestic thunder.

In the center of the thunder's rage, the suppressed thunder was like a boulder hitting everyone's hearts, 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 lingered around Chu Ming turned into thousands of galloping thunder snakes with this sword, entwining each other and shooting through the fog, exploding into the dark demonic tide.

Boom!

The roar of thunder continued, and the boulders pressing on everyone's hearts also turned into a violent storm at the moment when the thunder raged out, swaying freely, and the majestic thunder light bloomed on the roads and forests. The thick fog dispersed, and the dark monsters As soon as it appeared in everyone's sight, it quickly turned into fly ash and turned into wisps of black mist that followed the strong wind and blew into the distance.

After a long time, the thunder gradually subsided, leaving only a piece of scorched black in front of Chu Ming. Even the trees were turned into a pool of black coal on the ground in the thunder catastrophe. It was completely impossible to tell that there was a dark monster nearby before.

Because the violent winds stirred up by thunderclouds gradually calmed down, thick fog came from all directions, covering up the blackness and mess in front of them, and the surroundings returned to calm again.

But at this time, the dwarf knights could not calm down in their hearts. They stared blankly 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 that of these dwarf knights. He never thought that he could release such great power with the power of knights alone. After all, he witnessed it with his own eyes. This was even more shocking than the epic knight inheritance he saw yesterday.

"Teacher Ren, he is so powerful..."

Luticia also showed a little surprise on her face, "It's so powerful, it must be very painful when the lightning hits your body."

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 war 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 traveled 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 came into contact with Luticia and the two of them, their obsession from beginning to end was to go to Moonlight Lake to complete something. In other words, they would dissipate after they completed the matter in Moonlight Lake.

"I hope I can get answers to my questions from Hot Stone Valley later."

Chu Ming rolled up the map and put it away, returning all his attention to clearing out the dark demonic tide and getting on the road.

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

The knights continued to drive forward for more than an hour, and the surrounding dark demon tide became more and more dense, hitting the knights like waves.

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

Boom!

A dull bombardment came back from the front. It sounded like the sound of a blunt instrument hitting metal, but the fact that the sound was able to reach everyone's ears from the noisy demonic tide was enough to show how powerful the strike was.
