Chapter 541: Mutants

Because Chu Tianjiang's wounds had just healed and his physical strength had not fully recovered, after he got on the road, Iska walked very slowly and led the way in front.

It was almost noon when Iska slowed down and walked side by side with Chu Tianjiang.

The temperature rose faster than Chu Tianjiang imagined, the temperature at noon was already close to ten degrees Celsius, and the snow on the desert had already melted. The ground is muddy, and some low herbaceous plants are desperately growing. When the temperature rises and the water melts away from the snow, the desert becomes a forbidden area for life, so the plants that grow in the desert must make the most of the spring that only has one month.

"Tell me about the saints."

"Saints?"

"In this world, apart from you, only holy warriors and saints have superpowers, right?"

"And you."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a smile.

Iska also smiled and said, "Actually, there are many people who have superpowers, such as in the country of the North Wind, some ordinary people have superpowers. It's just that in the Holy Empire, there are only three kinds of people with superpowers, one is us, the second is the saints, and the third is the civilians who have not been discovered and eradicated by the Church, nor have they been found by us. In fact, whether it is us or the saints, there is no difference between us and ordinary people before. ”

"That is, the saints are not produced by the church?"

"Of course not. They were also born with superpowers, but they were first discovered by the Church, and they converted to God and became warriors of the Church. The difference is that the church has modulated and transformed them to make them stronger, and we are on our own. ”

"Holy warriors don't have superpowers?" Chu Tianjiang changed the subject.

"Nope."

"But ......"

"Their superpowers don't come from themselves, they come from weapons. To put it simply, they have some very powerful weapons that can defeat everyone else. The strongest holy warriors can even defeat the saints, they are very strong, and there are many more of them than we and the saints. ”

"This ......"

"The saints work for the Church, and the holy warriors are the elite of the Holy Empire. Although the Church and the Empire were one, their affiliation was different. ”

As soon as Iska said this, Chu Tianjiang understood.

The Holy Empire must have mastered the power of science and technology, and armed the holy warriors with scientific and technological equipment, but there are not many people in this world who understand technology, so they think that holy warriors have superpowers like saints. In fact, even Iscar doesn't know enough about scientific and technological equipment.

After walking for a while, Chu Tianjiang opened his mouth and asked, "Can all saints transform?" ”

"If you don't kill the saint in time and make the saint realize that you are stronger than him, he will transform to gain greater superpowers."

"How many types are there after transformation?"

"The most is Vantaa." Iskar glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "There are three more common ones, namely Issos, Odin and Kaman. ”

Chu Tianjiang didn't ask much, because Iska regarded him as a "countryman" who didn't understand anything, so he would naturally explain in detail.

Vantaa is an offensive mutant with a strong force and a high-frequency concussion knife as its main weapon, because it is relatively balanced in all aspects, and its appearance is very oppressive, and it can have a deterrent effect on ordinary people, so it is the most numerous, and it is the main form of saints.

Issos is an agile mutant, with a height of less than one meter six and a weight of less than eighty kilograms, he is very fast, suitable for tracking and surveillance, and is not equipped with weapons, his minions are his main weapons, but his minions have poisonous glands inside, which can secrete a highly toxic neurotoxin. Just one arrest can lead to paralysis of the whole body, and even the death of a person with a weaker physique. Because of its focus on speed and agility, Issos does not have the hard skin of Vantaa, and his strength is not large, and his minions are often useless against warriors in armor, so his combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Vantaa, and the range of use is not very wide, and the number is much less than that of Vantaa.

The latter two are the more powerful saints.

Odin is the first advanced mutant, an improved version of Vantaa, with Vantaa's melee weapon, the High-Frequency Concussion Knife, and a ranged weapon, a weapon that fires electric orbs. Like Vantaa, Odin has a strengthened epidermis and is extremely strong. Because of his long-range weapons, Odin's combat power is much stronger than that of Vanta, but it is also more difficult to concoct, accounting for less than one percent of the saints.

Correspondingly, Kaman is a modified version of Issos. In addition to retaining the venom glands in his minions, Kaman is faster than Issos, more agile, and able to spew venom. Although the venom jet is much less toxic, it is very corrosive, even capable of corroding steel. Like Odin, due to the difficulty of modulation, the number of Kamen is not large, and the proportion is about one percent.

"Only these four?"

"Of course not, it's just ordinary saints." Iskar paused slightly, then added, "The saints are warriors of the Church, affiliated with the Templar. In the Church, the Templar is the Legion of Armed Forces, equivalent to the Holy Empire's Holy War Legion, so the Saints are only the lowest warriors in the Templar. Above the saints, there are saints, ascetics, sages, sages, sages, and lords, and under the saints there are twelve holy servants. Except for the Holy Lord and the Holy Servants, the rest were promoted from the saints, and at least a large part were promoted from the saints. They possess more powerful superpowers as compared to saints. It's just that after the demise of the Shadow Empire, the Holy Empire dominated the Old Continent, and even the North Wind Country had to submit, so over the years, it was mainly the saints who came out to do the activities, and the others rarely appeared in front of the people. ”

"Looks like you know a lot about the church."

"No member of the Shadow Alliance has to know the enemy."

"Can you read and write?"

"Of course, we are not ordinary people, wisdom is the first weapon, only with wisdom, can we better use superpowers. This is the Queen's legacy, all members of the Shadow Alliance must learn knowledge, and only after mastering it can they become warriors. ”

"You have a library?"

"What is a library?"

"It's where the books are stored." Chu Tianjiang was a little surprised. Iskar can read and write, so he can't even read a book.

"You're talking about the books of the ancient times?"

Chu Tianjiang suddenly realized that he had leaked his mouth. Although human civilization has been cut off several times in the past 10,000 years, scientific and technological progress is an indisputable fact. Long before the end of the era of catastrophe, mankind achieved a brilliant technological civilization, so in this era, there must be some remains. That is to say, even though knowledge is imprisoned by the church, the method of mastering it has changed.

"Have you seen a book from time immemorial?"

"I haven't seen it, but occasionally I found some scraps of paper in the river."

"Just join the Shadow Alliance, and you'll have access to our knowledge."

Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly, he was really a little tempted. To know Lu Dao, what he needs most is knowledge, to be precise, the knowledge of this era. Obviously, by joining the Shadow Alliance, he was able to obtain knowledge in the most convenient way, but Chu Tianjiang still had some concerns.

"Think about it, we will definitely be able to destroy the church and save the common people who have been enslaved by the church."

Chu Tianjiang didn't listen to Iska's words, anyway, as long as there was a chance, Iska would encourage him to join the Shadow Alliance.

In the evening, Iskar stopped in an open area and surveyed the terrain around, but there were no burrows to hide in.

"What are you doing?"

"Prepare for the overnight."

"Then we'll have to hurry and find a place to hide."

"Without you, I would have been able to go to the next underground cave." Iskar glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "Our speed is too slow, we have only walked half the way, and I am afraid we will not be able to reach it until tomorrow night." ”

"This ......"

"Don't worry, I won't let you be food for the night demons."

Chu Tianjiang rolled his eyes, he saved Iska twice, and Iska only took care of him for one day. With the colorful battle armor, Chu Tianjiang is not afraid of the night demon at all, so it's a big deal to sleep in the colorful battle armor. But Iskar didn't have a multicolored armor, so he had to find a place to hide.

After a little spin around, Iska stopped, and then took a medicine bottle from his naan.

"What is this?"

"Magic." Iskar smiled, opened the bottle, and poured a drop of the liquid on the ground.

Chu Tianjiang was a little curious, but he was immediately retreated by Iscara. Seeing Iscara put the scarf around his neck over his mouth and nose, Chu Tianjiang became even more curious.

"You'd better cover your nose, it's stinky."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a green gas to emerge from the ground where the liquid began to drip and emit a foul stench like a rotting corpse.

Only when the green gas dispersed and the stench subsided did Iska walk over, draw his sword, and draw a circle on the ground.

It wasn't until Iskar dug out a layer of sand on the surface that Chu Tianjiang found that there was a cellar underneath. The area is not very large, only about five square meters, just enough for two people. What surprised Chu Tianjiang even more was that the inner walls of the spherical cellar were very hard, like solidified magma.

Obviously, it was a very special liquid.

"Wait a minute, you go down first, and I'll take care of the surface."

"What's that?"

"A corrosive liquid extracted from the venom that Carman sprayed, capable of dissolving almost anything. If we can't find a place to hide, we'll have to make a cellar where we can hide from this thing. This liquid is precious, and if you can, you can't use it. Iska smiled reluctantly and said, "You can't make a fire tonight, you can only eat cold food." However, there is finally a place to sleep. ”

Chu Tianjiang also smiled reluctantly, he preferred to spend the night on the surface wrapped in colorful battle armor.

Of course, he couldn't, as Iskar didn't know that he had multicolored armor, and always thought he was wearing scale armor made of Manyasteel.
