Chapter 841 Weird people from the deep sea
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a white priest's uniform came behind Lu Chen and saluted respectfully.
"Dear Imperial Blade, the north is still waiting for you, your itinerary..."
He wanted to tactfully remind Lu Chen that he shouldn't hang around near the front line, but he didn't dare to rush him.
The slightly cold spring breeze blew the broken hair on the man's forehead. He raised his hand to straighten his collar, "I will arrive tonight. You don't need to receive me. Please handle the evacuation of the people."
"I obey your instructions."
The priest in white bowed respectfully and stepped down.
"Imperial Blade!"
The woman, Pang Shide, and the crowd not far away all burst into exclamations. People who lived in the Sistine Empire, even if they were not devout believers of the Morning Embrace Church, would have heard of the Dawn Knight.
The biggest news recently is that the fifth Dawn Knight has appeared in the Church of Morning Embrace, named the Blade of the Empire.
It's just that people can't imagine that the Imperial Blade would be such a young man.
But no one dared to question it, just because the invisible evil aura on the man made people dare not look directly at him. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
Lu Chen thought for a while, took out a small cake from the storage space, and handed it to the little girl who dared not look at him. "The hard days will pass. Treat yourself to something sweet."
After that, he turned around and left. He originally wanted to go straight to the Sea of Nothingness, but after arriving in Beihai Province, seeing the evacuated people always evoked some bad memories for him.
Women were crying, children were wandering on the edge of death, and people fleeing were indifferent. He was very familiar with it.
When he was most desperate, he also hoped that someone would lend a helping hand, right?
Seeing the man unabashedly pulling out the dark stream of light in the wilderness, the night watchmen of the Church of Morning Embrace had a headache, but they did not dare to discuss behind their backs that the Blade of the Empire violated the rules of the night watch and exposed the power of extraordinary beings to civilians. .
Just after this small episode, the team seemed to be moving faster and everyone was full of energy.
They didn't know whether what was coming behind them would be a tsunami or something else, but today they, the little people, met big people that they would never have met in their lifetimes, and they also witnessed miracles.
Although the Imperial Blade himself told the woman to move her faith back, more people began to have faith. Even people who did not originally believe in the Goddess of Morning Embrace began to wonder whether the Church of Morning Embrace really represented God.
Lu Chen naturally didn't know about these things, and his behavior had no special meaning. He just couldn't stand it anymore, so he took action to save people.
In the same way, when he said that the woman's faith should be put aside and that the other person is just lucky, he wanted to tell the other person that the goddess of morning embrace cannot save your child. If you spend more time on your daughter in your usual prayer time, you should always have enough medicine. , there wouldn’t be anything like today.
On the way to the Sea of Nothingness, Lu Chen passed by the suburbs of Luoshuang City and saw the ruined manor again. Outside the Stonehenge behind the manor, there was an old oriental man with white hair.
There are not many wrinkles on this oriental old man's face, only the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are more obvious. If you put aside his white hair, he looks like a man under forty years old.
He was wearing a close-fitting white Hanfu that the knights in Lu Chen's memory would wear, with a three-foot green peak on his waist, and long hair shawl, which made him look quite chic and elegant.
The old man's dark eyes looked at the ground not far away. The wind and frost had receded, and the mottled blood on the ground was faintly visible.
Sensing the person coming behind him, the old man turned around and looked at Lu Chen, "Mr. Lu, this seems to be the first time we meet."
"Mr. Ye?"
Lu Chen confirmed that the only person with such an outfit and such strength is probably the Sword of the Empire among the Knights of the Dawn.
"It's me. As a senior of the Dawn Knight, I have never met Mr. Lu. But when I met him today, I feel that I don't dare to call him senior anymore."
Ye Chengfeng smiled and nodded.
Lu Chen could feel the restrained swordsmanship in this old man. He was a powerful swordsman. He not only relied on strange strength, but also continued to study swordsmanship in the process of improving his physical fitness. On this road, he reached a certain level. A kind of extreme state.
"Senior is being too modest, what are you doing?"
Lu Chen was a little puzzled after finishing his polite remarks. Although this was not a war, the nature was not far from the same. Weird things in the sea of emptiness were constantly landing. Ye Chengfeng, as a "coach", was not sitting on the front line. Instead, he ran to the place where he protects the inheritance?
"Let's take a look at the place where Master Yideng died in the line of duty. He was a very wise and ethical man, but he did not die well."
Ye Chengfeng sighed, obviously he had a good relationship with Master Yideng.
"I remember that among the list of young people killed in battle, there was a young man named Ye. Is he related to you?"
Lu Chen looked at the old man's vicissitudes of life and felt that the old man was not simply here to pay homage to Master Yideng, but rather as if he had lost a relative.
"He is my son."
Ye Chengfeng said calmly.
If it weren't for such an occasion, Lu Chen might be surprised, or might find it funny, because Ye Chengfeng is already seventy years old, and Ye Qiufeng just turned eighteen this year, so it would be more normal to call him his grandson.
"There is nothing surprising. I have worked as a night watchman in the church all my life, and not many women would want their husbands to do this. Originally, I had no intention of leaving any descendants. The autumn wind was a surprise."
Ye Chengfeng said slowly, "Few people know that he is my son. When he was sent here, the official records only stated that he was from an earl family. There are several earls named Ye in the capital."
"I heard he is very good and is the number one here."
Lu Chen didn't know how to comfort the other person, so he could only tell him what he knew.
"He is very good. He feels much better than when I was young, but I didn't want him to come here."
Ye Chengfeng said with emotion.
"Is it the church's arrangement?"
Lu Chen was confused.
Ye Chengfeng shook his head and sighed: "He came here on his own because he heard that I practiced at the Guardian Heritage Site when I was young. I was second at that time, so he said he wanted to refresh his father's record. , and he was only seven years old at that time. He has been precocious and strong since he was a child."
As a Knight of the Dawn, Lu Chen was not surprised when he was only second in training at the Land of Guardian Heritage, because his "in-school" results did not mean everything. Ye Chengfeng obviously had a more outstanding talent in extraordinary aspects. .
Just like Clement, it is said that he is at the bottom of his performance, but if what Peter said is true, then Clement may be much more powerful than Pope Peter in the future.
"Do you want to take revenge?"
Lu Chen recalled the situation that night. After seeing the scene, he could reconstruct the process of the incident. Ye Qiufeng should be the student who survived to the end, and he should have escaped with Clemend for a long time.
As for whether Ye Qiufeng knew Clément's identity, Lu Chen didn't want to ask now, it wasn't important.
"Who should I seek revenge from? The Pope of the Eternal Night Church? Or the unknown little priests who besieged and killed my son, or the people who caused the source of cholera?"
Ye Qiufeng shook his head, "And I don't have the energy left now. Guarding the mouth of the Sea of Nothingness is my last mission in this life."
He turned around and motioned for Lu Chen to follow him, drawing a white shadow on the ground. It was more than two thousand miles away from the Sea of Nothingness, but it was not that far for them.
This was also the reason why he dared to leave his post without permission to come here for a visit and pick up Lu Chen with him.
As the earth flew behind them, Lu Chen and Ye Chengfeng arrived at the coastline after a while.
It can be seen that there are thousands of night watchmen stationed along the vast coastline. The lowest level is dangerous. There are fifty special-level night watchmen alone, which is basically half of the high-level combat force of the Sistine Empire. Over here.
As the backbone of the force, there are more than 700 high-risk night watchmen, which can be said to have drained the combat power reserves of various places. If the Sistine Empire really goes to war with the country of steam and machinery at this time, the outcome will be very obvious. one thing.
The two stood on a raised hill and looked at the teams of night watchmen scattered on the coastline. Ye Chengfeng said: "It has been three days since the disaster broke out, and there are more and more weird landings, but we are still under control."
He pointed in a direction and said, "Look over there, that team is currently encircling and suppressing a strange thing that is common in the Sea of Nothingness."
Lu Chen looked over there. Even though the sky was dark, his martial arts eyes could still see clearly.
Surrounded by three high-risk night watchmen, the weird body was composed of a completely opaque black sticky slime-shaped substance. It had just emerged from the shallow sea, and the center of the black mud began to swell like yeast-added dough. A shapeless and ugly head appeared, and as the neck continued to lengthen, bulging eyes began to appear on it.
Two arms-like things stretched out little by little, and tentacle-like appendages grew out of the hands, groping outwards, and then the entire black object overflowed the sea surface with great tension like black mercury, landed on the beach, and immediately touched the ground. Countless artificial legs grew out, and the entire body undulated and snaked along the ground.
Its body is very tough and elastic, like plastic. It can change into any shape and attack its enemies in any imaginable way. When it attacks the Night Watch, it always wants to crush, bite or crush them.
But the night watchmen who came here were very experienced, especially the group near the beach. They were definitely elites among the high-risk night watchmen. They responded well, were not injured, and eliminated this weird thing steadily.
Lu Chen used the reconnaissance function of the Martial Arts Sky Eye to check the detailed information of this weirdness, because he also saw things similar to this kind of weirdness emerging from time to time in the shallow sea.
[The one who is without substance and annihilation. The hyphae of nothingness]
Details: Born from the mud of the deep sea through the will of the old god Nidhorta, they are in a state of slumber all year round. When awakened, they become violent and extremely aggressive. They will crush all living things they see until they die. .

Strength: 141 points
Agility: 141 points
Spirit: 144 points
Charisma: 6 points
Lu Chen only looked at the general attributes of this thing, and did not take a closer look at the special skills, because no matter whether he looked at it or not, this kind of thing seemed to him like a lot of things.
But the void mycelium was easy for him to deal with, but it was not the case for those high-risk night watchmen. At least the three high-risk night watchmen fought for five minutes in a row before they eliminated the void mycelium.
Void mycelium is constantly emerging in the sea water. Although the frequency is not high, there are always four or five landing at the same time. This means that there are still many void mycelia in the deep sea.
The physical strength of the night watchers is limited. They may still be able to accept the frequency of strange landings in the Sea of Nothingness today and gain rest time by switching defenses. However, if more void mycelium emerges, the night watchmen will be very tired.
“Is this thing happening more often?”
Lu Chen confirmed to Ye Chengfeng.
"On the first day, there were only two void hyphae landing at the same time. Now there are four or five. They seem to be constantly rising from the deep sea and landing one after another."
Ye Chengfeng explained and pointed to another direction. There were two super night watchmen fighting against a monster.
Lu Chen shifted his gaze and looked at the creature that caused many people's SAN levels to plummet.
Its body is a huge mass, with black whip-like tentacles growing on the mass. There is also a huge mouth around the mass, and green mucus is constantly dripping from the mouth. There are huge hooves under the body. This stands.
The outline of its body is like that of some kind of tree, its stubby legs are the trunk, and its body covered with tentacles is like the crown of the tree. Its body is tall, about twenty-three meters high.
After it landed, it made a chilling roar in the sky, like countless noisy sounds condensed together and emitted at the same time, like sharp claws rubbing against a blackboard, which hurt people's ears.

Skill function: Black goat cubs are very favored by their 'mother', and their lucky attributes gain an additional 2 points.
Lu Chen only saw this part because he was very unhappy when he saw this.
"Is this a lot?"
Lu Chen asked. Currently, he only saw a black goat cub on the coastline.
"Not much at the moment..."
Ye Chengfeng replied, looking up at the sky again, "But after nightfall, these things tend to appear in large groups. I am responsible for dealing with them at night. Special night watchmen will also face certain risks when facing them."
Having said this, he frowned and looked at the sea level, where a huge bowl rose, "The big guy is here, today is earlier than I expected."
