In the middle of the barren wilderness, an unusual scene is taking place.

In a forest, a black lizard covered in scale armor was running out at a rapid pace.

This lizard has a strange appearance, not only is it black all over, but it also carries a lot of rotting flesh and blood where the scales on its back cannot be covered, and there are many tiny black bugs crawling in it, driving the flesh to churn.

Around this black lizard, there were many similar creatures, mostly gigantic bugs, but a few others.

Bang!!

A soft sound came from a distance, bringing a burst of silvery light that scattered around, causing the surrounding creatures to spread out even more in fear.

At the end of a road, looking at the corpse of the monster more than three meters tall in front of him, Adil put away the sword in his hand and silently turned to look at the other side.

At this time, there were many similar monster corpses at his feet, including common animals and many insects that had become much larger.

Without exception, these creatures have undergone abnormal changes, and the original normal structure of their bodies has been stimulated by something, and suddenly it has become huge and terrifying.

"Lord Adil!"

In the distance, a group of knights rode up quickly, and the leader of them shouted Adiel's name.

"Are you all cleaned up?"

Looking at the knight in front of him, Adil turned around and spoke expressionlessly.

"It's been cleaned up. The knight in front of him looked at Adil with respectful eyes, and stood there seriously: "Lord Anum has also come here in person." ”

"He also came. Adil was a little surprised: "Lead the way." ”

The words fell, and before he could move, in the distance, a familiar figure quickly walked over.

It was Anum, riding a white horse and wearing red leather armor, and he looked a little tired.

"Adiel, have you solved it here?"

After seeing Adil, Arnum barely smiled on his face, looked at him and asked.

"It's done. Putting away the sword in his hand, Adil nodded: "The polluted beast here is not too strong, the strongest is the one in front of you, close to the strength of the Sky Knight." ”

He pointed to the corpse more than three meters tall at his feet and spoke.

"Coincidentally, so am I there. Arnum smiled bitterly: "But I didn't have as much difficulty as you, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of that monster." ”

"It's just nothing. Adil said casually, then mounted his horse and walked to the side.

At this time, nearly a year has passed since Adil was promoted to Knight of Radiance.

Over the course of a year, a lot of things began to change.

The most obvious is the surrounding environment.

Half a year ago, a large number of polluting beasts began to appear in various places, constantly impacting cities and towns everywhere.

The individual strength of these polluting beasts is not very strong, but they have a very unique polluting ability, which can assimilate many otherwise normal individuals into polluting beasts of the same nature.

After being polluted, some ordinary beasts will become more powerful, and some beasts that are already extremely powerful will suddenly become comparable to knights after being polluted.

If it's just a polluted beast turned into an ordinary beast, then it's okay, although under the huge accumulation of numbers, it will definitely cause serious losses, but it will definitely be extinguished in the end.

What is really dangerous is the transformation of those original demonic beasts into powerful polluting beasts.

These polluted beasts are at the heart of this catastrophe and the main force that poses a formidable threat to kingdoms and lords.

A beast that was originally just an ordinary individual, even if it is strengthened, it will not be strengthened anywhere. But a terrifying demonic beast that was originally comparable to a knight, or even a knight of the sky, once it was polluted, its strength would reach a terrifying level.

For example, the monster that Adil killed before was originally just a great knight-level demonic beast, although its strength was not bad, it was not too terrifying.

But after being polluted, the strength of this demonic beast suddenly became terrifying, and it directly transformed from the original Great Knight level to the point of approaching the Sky Knight.

This terrifying ascension speed, not to mention others, even Adil, a wizard, was a little dumbfounded and a little incomprehensible.

"Seed of pollution, what is the essence of this thing?"

Walking down the road on horseback, Adil couldn't help but think in his heart.

For a year, he also did not let go of the relationship with the Turing Sect, although he did not go to the headquarters because he still had to stay by Alina's side, but the connection with the beast knight Rida was not broken.

Through the relationship between the other party, he got a lot of exclusive information, among which there was information about the Seed of Corrosion.

This thing is the source of the appearance of a large number of polluted beasts, but as for what this thing is, Adil has no way to find out, and can only guess by studying some polluted beasts.

"Is it the crystallization of the power of some higher being, or is it a unique substance born from this world itself?"

Walking on the road, Adil was still struggling with this question before looking at his attribute panel.

"Name: Adil Fakus. Power: 64.3. Dexterity: 67.1. Constitution: 70.5. Spirit: 77.1. Purity: 37.1%. Life purity: 36.4%. Boundary: 572.8. Bloodline: Moon Elf (Juvenile).

The familiar properties panel is back in plain sight, and it looks like a significant improvement from a year ago.

Especially in the column of boundary energy, the number has increased several times at this time.

This is the result of Adil's struggle for the past year, after all, after knowing who the child of destiny is, the growth rate of realm energy is undoubtedly much faster.

Especially after the outbreak of the Polluted Beast, the growth rate of the realm energy continued to accelerate, which surprised Adiel.

After walking on the road for a while, and when the sky outside gradually became dark, Adil and Arnum stopped, led the people to an open place, and prepared to rest.

When night fell and the others were put to sleep, Adil walked out alone with his sword in his hand, and stood in front of the makeshift tent looking at the silver moon in the sky.

Perhaps because of the Moon Elf bloodline in his body, when the moonlight shines on Adiel, the power of the Moon Elves in Adiel's body will become more and more active, making his state to the best.

Feeling this unique feeling, looking at the bright moon in the sky, Adil got up and took out a letter from his bosom.

The envelope of the epistle is purple and looks very beautiful, and it is embroidered with a triangular imprint representing Turingism.

This is the letter that Adil just received today, from the headquarters of the Turing Sect, which often contains the latest orders issued by the Turingists.

Skillfully opened the letter, looking at the contents of the letter, Adil was stunned.

"Assassinate the princess of the Maran Empire, Alina, and the prince of the Gono Empire, Kladys..."
