Chapter 240 Scale pollution, earth dragon corpse

"Yeah?"

Crono scratched his head in confusion, and then he and Aiqi ran to check out the dark creatures buried in the soil.

Chu Ming stood aside and did not urge them. Instead, he was observing the surrounding environment to prevent any dark creatures from hiding in the dark and trying to attack them.

"Huh?"

Crono squatted in front of the pit and made a surprised sound.

Chu Ming and Maddie looked at each other, approached the man and asked, "What happened?"

Crono, who had been so nervous about the dark creature just now, actually picked up the dark creature that looked like a monkey or some kind of scaly reptile.

He said with some uncertainty: "I remember that this creature is called the Dark Green Ghost. It should look like a monkey. Why does it have scales?"

"Let me see."

Chu Ming took a closer look and carefully observed the dark golden scales on the creature.

"The scales do feel a little incompatible with the aura of its body." Chu Ming shrugged, "But it's not surprising that dark creatures mutate."

Crono touched his chin and agreed: "That's true, maybe it's just that this dark creature has mutated."

He buried the dark creatures again and set off with Chu Ming and others.

On the next journey, he encountered several more dark creatures. In the process, he discovered that even if Chu Ming did not know the types of these dark creatures, he could always accurately find out where they were hiding and analyze the

weakness.

This made Crono realize that Chu Ming must have dealt with dark creatures all year round, otherwise he would not be so familiar with dark creatures.

This also answered his inner doubt—why Avis sent him to protect Chu Ming.

Maybe Chu Ming is some kind of master who studies dark creatures, and the tower owner sent him here just to let him study hard.

When he thought of this, Crono felt calm in his heart, and he straightened his stance as a scholar. Along the way, he would ask Chu Ming whenever he had questions about dark creatures.

Obviously, although Crono discovered some of Chu Ming's secrets, he still misinterpreted Avis's thoughts.

The tower owner's idea is very simple. He wants the mage geniuses in his mage tower to come into contact with Chu Mingduo in the name of protection. There are always common topics between geniuses. If the Victoria Mage Tower can build a

If he fell in love with Chu Ming, he would make a lot of money.

When faced with Crono's questions, Chu Ming answered as much as he could.

After all, he has been dealing with dark creatures for three lifetimes. Although he may not necessarily know the scientific names and types of these dark creatures, he can always rely on his combat intuition to quickly understand the habits, weaknesses, etc. of the dark creatures.

For Crono, who spends most of his time in the Mage Tower, these are undoubtedly valuable practical experiences.

The more the two chatted, the more important Chu Ming became in Crono's heart. He also confirmed the fact that Chu Ming was a master of dark creature research, and lamented the good intentions of Lord Avista.

But in fact, Ives really didn’t think about it that much…

…

A few people walked in the forest for about a day. When they were about to reach the village, a dark creature without eyes suddenly jumped out.

Before Chu Ming could take action, Crono waved his hand and shouted excitedly: "Master Ren, please leave this little trouble to me."

After saying that, the man raised his staff and summoned several waves of mud to attack the dusky crow whose body was covered with dark golden scales.

"Ah! Ah!!"

The dusky crow made a pitiful cry and flapped its wings in an attempt to fly upwards, but the dark gold scales on its body restricted its ability to fly like a rope. It only flapped its wings a few times before falling to the ground.

puff!

With a slap on the mud wall, the dusky crow instantly turned into a puddle of flesh.

Chu Ming and the others stepped forward and carefully observed the bloody fragments, and he fell into deep thought.

Not surprisingly, this is the third dark creature with dark golden scales that he has encountered in this day. One of them can be said to be mutated, but this is the third one.

"These dark golden scales are like foreign things parasitic on these dark creatures. It would be fine if it were like the first dark green ghost we encountered. The scales could also add some defense capabilities to it, but this Dusky Crow

They are all affected by the scales and cannot fly."

"Is there some kind of pollution source nearby that can make creatures grow scales..."

Being able to make different creatures grow scales seems incredible, but it is not impossible to do it in another world.

For example, the bloodline of a superior person can contaminate the bloodline of a lower person, just like Andrew absorbed the blood of a black snake and grew black scales.

Maybe some creature of epic or above level died nearby. After this creature's body was eaten by these dark creatures, its bloodline was contaminated.

Chu Ming told Crono his conjecture and asked: "Do you have any way to detect the bloodline in its body? Maybe this piece of information will also be useful to the magic army."

Crono smiled bitterly and said: "Bloodline detection is difficult to do even with the help of magic tools. It's not that we can't classify these bloodlines, it's just that we don't necessarily know these bloodlines."

"The bloodlines of dark creatures are too numerous and complex. Even if one-to-one correspondence is verified, it may take hundreds of years to produce results."

"But we can first collect the flesh and blood of this dusky crow and these scale fragments and give them to the epic mage in the stronghold. Maybe these things will be useful to them."

Crono took out the potion bottle from the bag and used tweezers to put part of the flesh and scales of the Dusky Crow into it.

"Just keep going."

Aiqi continued to lead the way, and the group continued to approach the village.

As they walked deeper into the forest, the number of dark creatures with dark golden scales gradually increased, and they even saw a twisted tree man whose body was also covered in scales.

After walking for three hours, the forest filled with black fog gradually disappeared. The black fog in front became thinner, and the outline of the village appeared in front of everyone. However, the number of dark creatures did not decrease at this time. They were even far away from Da Lao.

Then I heard the roars of dark creatures one after another.

"What are the dark creatures doing here?"

As soon as everyone had this doubt in their hearts, a human shout suddenly sounded in front of them.

"Quick, light the fire!"

Chu Ming looked forward. Flames suddenly lit up from outside the village. The black fog was dispersed a little. In front of him, there were figures of villagers fighting with dark creatures near the wooden wall.

"Is there anyone alive?!"

Chu Ming's heart was shaken, a faint invisible lightning flashed across his legs, and he ran quickly towards the village.

After Magic Knight Aiqi was overtaken by Chu Ming, he was stunned for a moment, but this was not the time to care about it, and he quickly followed up.

Among the four, Cronuo's body was that of an ordinary person. After Mattie glanced at him, she also ran towards Chu Ming, leaving him alone.

"Wait for me."

Crono's face was startled, and he hurriedly ran, trying to keep up. However, before he had taken many steps, he was panting from exhaustion and waved his hand.

"Forget it, you better not wait for me."

…

Outside the village, dozens of dark creatures are crashing into the wooden wall woven with thick logs. The fire is burning under their feet, but the dark golden scales seem to have put on their battle clothes. No matter how high the temperature of the flames is, these dark creatures can't stand it.

As if he didn't feel anything, he kept hitting the wooden wall.

"Pierre, we can't go on like this. We must find a way to kill them."

On the crumbling wooden wall, an uncle dressed as a hunter gritted his teeth. He handed the bow and arrow in his hand to a young man named Pierre who was standing beside him, and jumped off the wooden wall.

"Uncle Steve don't want it!"

The village guards on the wooden wall all screamed in surprise. They just watched helplessly as the hunter jumped into the flames and faced several dark creatures.

"Roar!"

The dark creatures obviously noticed the human who jumped down on his own initiative, and they roared and attacked him.

"It's over!"

Everyone shouted in despair, as if they had seen Steve's miserable appearance being torn to pieces by dark creatures.

"ah!!"

Who would have thought that at this moment, Steve's body would erupt with powerful power, and with a roar, he would overturn a two-meter-tall dark creature.

Under the scorching flames, the man's clothes gradually turned into ashes, revealing the dark golden scales on his body.

When the villagers saw this scene, instead of showing joy, their expressions became even more frightened. "It's a taboo. Steve has come into contact with the power of the taboo."

A village guard gritted his teeth and shouted: "Whatever the taboos are, deal with these dark creatures first!"

After the guards shouted, everyone finally woke up and picked up their bows, arrows and boulders to harass these dark creatures with tough scales on the wooden wall.

However, Steve was still a little weak after all. Facing the collision of the dark creatures, he quickly became overwhelmed and leaned against the wooden wall, panting violently.

"Steph, be careful."

The villager screamed, and before the man could react, the sharp claws scratched across his chest, penetrated the dark gold scales, and pierced into his fragile flesh.

"ah!!"
