Chapter 20 The Girl in the River
The embers of the battle had not yet completely cooled, and Lu Ming was preparing to clean up the battlefield and collect resources that might be useful.
At this moment, in the shadows of the forest, a human figure wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword slowly emerged.
At the same time, the sudden appearance of those monsters here was also related to him.
Originally, those monsters were besieging him.
As a result, the knight was defeated and accidentally led the monster here while escaping.
In order to protect himself, he chose to hide, and the monsters turned their anger towards Lu Ming.
He originally wanted to leave quietly after the battle was over.
However, this knight witnessed the fierce battle between Lu Ming and the group of monsters, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
Lu Ming was wearing a magic robe and was obviously an apprentice magician. However, when facing a large number of low-level magic beasts, he did not rely on traditional magic. Instead, he relied on his own physical strength and a strange black energy to achieve victory single-handedly.
Even as a junior knight, he knew that he could not achieve this.
An idea came to the knight's mind. Perhaps Lu Ming was a talented disciple of some powerful force, and came to the Warcraft Forest for trials.
In the knight's view, making friends with such a strong man will undoubtedly bring him great benefits.
So now that the battle is over, he took the initiative to show up.
Lu Ming raised his head alertly and stared at the knight in heavy armor in front of him.
The armor reflected a cold luster in the moonlight, and the sword in his hand was steady and majestic, revealing the extraordinary identity of its owner.
The knight stopped and his eyes stayed on Lu Ming for a moment, as if he was evaluating the strength of the young man in front of him.
He then gave a friendly smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Your Excellency the Mage," the knight's voice was loud and polite, "My name is Aiden, a junior knight. I passed by here unintentionally and would like to stay and rest for a night. Is it possible?"
During the conversation, Knight Aiden did not mention a word about the monster he attracted.
Facing this uninvited guest, Lu Ming remained alert. His voice was calm and cold: "Mr. Knight, in this jungle at night, you and I are both strangers. I am used to walking alone and don't want to be disturbed by others, so I'm sorry, please leave!"
After hearing this, Aiden kept smiling, but a hint of barely perceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Your Excellency has a point," he replied, "but in this place where monsters are rampant, it is always safer to travel in groups. I promise that I have no ill intentions, I just want to rest for a night, and I will leave at dawn."
"Mr. Knight, thank you for your kindness." Lu Ming's tone was full of unquestionable determination, "But I am used to acting alone. Besides, I have my concerns. Please understand that I cannot accept your request."
Lu Ming is not someone who can be easily trusted.
Faced with the sudden appearance of this knight, he remained highly alert.
By carefully observing the residual magic fluctuations on the knight's armor, Lu Ming speculated that the sudden attack of this group of monsters was most likely related to this person.
More importantly, the knight might have seen me using my magic energy in the battle just now.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming felt murderous intent in his heart, believing that only by silencing the person could he ensure that the secret would not be leaked.
Aiden's expression changed slightly when he heard this. The determination and murderous intent in Lu Ming's words made him feel uneasy, and he tried to withdraw.
"Sir, at least let me apologize for my carelessness just now. I will leave immediately and will not bother you again."
However, Lu Ming did not give him the chance to leave.
The matter of the Demon Emperor's inheritance is his biggest secret.
In front of outsiders, he would use the identity of a magician as a cover.
Now that this knight named Aiden had seen something he shouldn't have seen, Lu Ming had no choice but to kill him to silence him.
"kill him!"
Lu Ming immediately ordered the skeletons to attack.
As Lu Ming's most loyal warrior, the Skeleton obeyed the order without hesitation and fought a desperate battle with the Knight.
Under Lu Ming's command, the skeletons showed extraordinary combat effectiveness.
In the end, the junior knight was defeated in a fierce confrontation and fell forever on the land of this forest.
After the battle, Lu Ming calmly handled the scene, making sure no traces were left.
He knew very well that in this monster forest full of unknowns and dangers, every decision could be a matter of life and death.
This incident was not only another verification of Lu Ming's strength, but also made him understand the importance of caution and decisiveness.
At the same time, after devouring the flesh and blood of this junior knight, Lu Ming's level also broke through the middle stage of Qi Gathering and reached the late stage of Qi Gathering.
His mental strength also increased due to his magic cultivation level.
Lu Ming's magic level has also reached the level of a third-level apprentice magician.
Such an upgrade speed made Lu Ming ecstatic.
Afterwards, Lu Ming quickly packed up the tent, took the skeleton away from the place, and began to look for a new place to set up camp.
After a short search, the sound of gurgling water soon came into his ears, like a beautiful piece of music played by nature, guiding Lu Ming to move forward.
He quickened his pace in the direction of the sound and finally saw a winding stream with fast-flowing water.
The moonlight shines through the dense treetops and shines on the crystal clear stream, making the ripples sparkle and sparkle with the vitality of life.
The stream is lined with green trees, the fragrance of flowers and the melodious singing of birds, together painting a peaceful and vibrant picture.
After arriving at the stream, Lu Ming asked the skeleton to stay on the shore to be on guard to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment.
When he was sure there was no danger, he took off his clothes without hesitation and jumped into the icy stream.
The cool stream water immediately surrounded his body, washing away the fatigue brought by the long journey and making him feel refreshed.
Swimming freely in the water and enjoying the gift of nature, Lu Ming's soul received unprecedented baptism and peace.
After washing off the dust on his body, Lu Ming came ashore and was about to look for a suitable open space to set up a tent. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a faint fire flickering not far away.
With curiosity, he approached carefully and quietly, trying to find out what it was.
As he approached, a scene that made his heart beat faster gradually unfolded before his eyes.
It turned out that under the firelight, a beautiful girl was bathing in the stream.
She had her back to the fire, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall. Although it partially covered her back, it still couldn't conceal her graceful figure.
The girl's skin looked crystal clear in the interweaving of firelight and moonlight, like a fairy under the moonlight, otherworldly and otherworldly.
Her face appears and disappears in the interweaving of light and shadow, with soft contours, smiling eyes and eyebrows, exuding youthful vigor and innocence.
At this moment, she seemed to be one with nature, and every drop of water sliding down her body seemed to play a beautiful melody.
Lu Ming was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery before him. He couldn't help but hold his breath, and his heart was filled with waves.
He had never thought that he would encounter such a pure and beautiful scene in this desolate wilderness.
Just as Lu Ming was hiding on the shore, enjoying the picturesque scenery before him, a sudden incident broke the tranquility of the night.
On the other side of the river, a strong and violent breath suddenly surged from the depths of the dense forest, as if a sleeping beast was awakened.
Immediately afterwards, a gigantic bird-like monster descended from the sky like black lightning.
Its sharp claws flashed with cold light and exuded a heart-pounding aura.
This magical beast has obviously reached level five strength and is one of the best among mid-level magical beasts.
Its ferocity is far beyond that of ordinary creatures. Every time it spreads its wings and flies, it brings a gust of wind that makes the surrounding trees tremble.
The girl was terrified. Her scream pierced the night sky, full of despair and fear.
She crawled desperately towards the shore, trying to escape this sudden disaster, but the monster was too fast and arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye.
The girl's eyes were filled with tears and despair, her body was shaking, and she could no longer move at all.
At this moment, the monster opened its bloody mouth, swallowed the girl in one gulp, and disappeared into its huge mouth.
With a dull sound, the whole world seemed to be quiet, only the stream continued to flow.
The whole process happened so fast that Lu Ming barely reacted.
Despite witnessing this scene, he chose to stand by and watch without any emotion in his heart.
As a demon cultivator, he knew very well that in this crisis-filled world, the law of the jungle was the unchanging law, and sympathy and pity would only lead him into despair.
However, just as Lu Ming was about to leave quietly and put this episode behind him, the monster keenly sensed his presence.
Its blood-red eyes flashed greedily in the darkness, as if it regarded Lu Ming as its next prey.
With a deafening roar, the monster spread its wings and flew high, rushing towards Lu Ming's position. The air was filled with a strong murderous aura.
Faced with this sudden threat, Lu Ming quickly adjusted his mentality and entered combat mode.
After going through many battles, Lu Ming can be considered an experienced magic cultivator.
He knew very well that fighting against monsters could not be done with brute force alone; wisdom and strategy were equally important.
He quickly assessed the gap between his own strength and that of the Warcraft, while keeping an eye on his surroundings, looking for possible ways to win.
At this moment, Lu Ming's calmness and determination became the key to his survival.
As the monster approached, Lu Ming dodged the first round of attack nimbly.
He did not choose to engage in a head-on confrontation, but instead used his agility to deal with the monster and look for its weaknesses.
Under the moonlight, two figures intertwined, and for a moment, a life-and-death struggle took place by the stream.
Lu Ming knew very well that if he wanted to defeat this level 5 monster, his own strength alone was far from enough.
So, while controlling the skeletons to distract their attention, he began to mobilize the magic power in his body, condensing it into small energy bombs, and continuously launched precise attacks on the monsters.
At the same time, he also tried to communicate and cast undead magic to resist the fierce attacks of the monsters.
In the intense battle, Lu Ming displayed extraordinary calmness and wisdom. He strived to be accurate with every move, and every move contained a deadly threat.
As time went by, the monster gradually showed signs of fatigue. Lu Ming took the opportunity to increase his offensive, and finally found the monster's fatal weakness through cooperation with the skeleton.
With a shrill wail, the monster fell to the ground, ending this desperate fight.
Lu Ming was panting as he stood beside the monster's corpse, feeling both the joy of victory and the emotion of the impermanence of life.
After calming down, Lu Ming began to deal with the monster's corpse.
This is a level five magical beast. The feathers and bones on its body are all very good magical materials, and it also has a level five magic crystal core in its body.
If someone else were present, they would definitely collect all these things.
But Lu Ming is different, he is a magic cultivator and currently only wants to improve his realm.
Therefore, when dealing with the corpses of monsters, he still insisted on his previous simple and rough style, devouring them all with magic energy.
Whether it is flesh and blood, crystal cores, or the magical power contained in bones and feathers, all of them become nourishment for the demonic energy.
However, just as Lu Ming was about to release the demonic energy, the skeleton next to him took a step forward uncontrollably.
Under the temptation of flesh and blood, the skeleton stretched out its arm and stabbed into the corpse. The evil energy in the bones quickly transferred in and madly devoured all the energy.
Seeing this, Lu Ming smiled bitterly and gave the opportunity to the skeleton.
In any case, the skeletons also made a lot of contributions during the battle.
Sometimes, Lu Ming relied on the skeleton's Demon Emperor-level bones to resist many attacks and remain unharmed.
The skeleton has become stronger, which is also good for Lu Ming.
Just like that, under Lu Ming's witness, the skeleton quickly devoured the entire level 5 monster.
It also successfully evolved into a fourth-level undead creature.
The demonic energy in his body became even stronger.
