Chapter 144: Mutation
"The Charr used to be ...... Our best friend, there are many people who like him, because he is handsome, gentle, and although he is not bad from now, there are always some differences!"
Julia's eyes began to glow with tears at some point, and Dale and Sherlock closed their mouths in cooperation, and there was an unusually quiet and eerie atmosphere around them.
"We thought we could go on like this, but after that exercise, everything changed, you should know that Charles didn't stay the deputy head of the Paladins for a long time, right?"
Sherlock nodded, "Yes, it is said that he is the most talented and powerful in history, so he became the deputy head of the Holy Knights!"
"Actually, that's the power of the nibbler!"
"What?"
Julia sighed, "To be exact, the power of the charr eaters' companions participating in the exercises!"
"Could it be?"
"You're right!"
Julia was silent, as if a cold current was blowing into her body, but the dusty memories in her mind became clearer, and the unbearable scenes of the past passed through her heart like a marquee. The scabbed wound in my heart was torn again, and the pain was as piercing as yesterday.....
It took a long time for Julia to speak.
"Thank you, Julia, and ...... Forget me!"
............
The afternoon sun poured down on the calm woods, incredibly warm and cozy, and Julia looked even sunnier, with a smile on her lips all the time.
She leaned against the bottom of a large tree in the woods, tilted her head, her dazzling blue hair fell down, revealing a lovely cheek with closed eyes and sleeping peacefully, the sleeping girl seemed to be awakened by the sun, stretched out her hand and rubbed her face, and then with a soft moan, Julia opened her eyes and saw an open palm.
"You're skipping class again!" said Charles, who didn't know when he would come, with a smile.
"Ah~~~, Charles?" Julia was slightly startled, and hurriedly stood up and looked at Charles with a blushing face, "Why did you call me?"
"It's the teacher, I have something to explain to you today that you are still skipping class, and I have already helped you get the certificate issued!" said Charles, taking out a name tag.
"Thank you, Charles!" Julia smiled happily.
"Tomorrow there will be an all-hands drill, let the gods find their teammates and form a team!"
"I'm going to team up with Charles!" Julia replied before Charles could finish speaking.
Charles sighed helplessly, "I really can't help you, okay!"
And went back to the dormitory.
"Hey, how can this be!" said a young girl's disgruntled voice.
Julia clenched her fists in an apologetic gesture and said, "Rosie, I've already formed a team with Charles, so I can't be with you!"
Rosie muttered, "Well, I'm so envious, alas, it's actually with Charles!"
"Envy!" Julia sneered.
"Cut!" Rosie turned her head dismissively.
The site of this exercise is the Valley of the Abyss, which is said to be a terrifying valley full of dangers, and it is said that it is a very dangerous place where even the sun does not shine in.
However, there are many instructors above the fourth-level liberation patrolling the outskirts of the valley, and they will naturally help if there is a real danger, and Charles himself is the fourth-level liberation, as the head of the sixth teaching area, Julia also feels very relieved.
In addition to Julia, there are two other men, one female, who should also be friends with Charles, and they get along relatively well along the way.
But Julia never dreamed that something like that would happen.
————
"Alright, that's enough for now!" a teenager from Charles' team stopped, and it was already pitch black around him, relying only on the torch in his hand for lighting.
"We've collected enough demon specimens, and we're already getting enough credits for this!"
"It's all Charles!"
Saying that, Charles smiled and said, "Where, if it weren't for everyone, I wouldn't have been able to take this step at all, just pay attention here today, and we'll just go back tomorrow!"
"Good!" everyone agreed.
At this moment, Julia suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong Julia?!!"
Julia's eyes deepened, looking at the black object that was touching not far away, because the range of the fire was limited, and she could only see something like a snake?
Charles laughed, "Julia is afraid of snakes, don't worry, it won't come near us!"
"Who's scared! I'm just... Just ......"
"Just what?"
"Nasty!" Julia shyly twisted her head.
"But Charles, this really doesn't look like a snake, it looks like a slime-like creature!" reminded the boy next to him.
"Oh?" said Charles, who was interested, grabbed a torch and stepped forward, instinctively curious, only to see a black soft body like mud, and he didn't know if it was a living thing.
"What is it?" Charle touched it lightly with his hand, and with a click, it was like a paralyzing sensation from being electrocuted, and in an instant, a lot of divine power in his body was extracted, and at the same time, the black snake suddenly became a little bigger.
"What? Are you alright? Charles?"
"I'm fine!" Charles waved his hand, "I didn't expect this creature to be able to extract the energy from my body so quickly, maybe it's a species I've never seen before!"
"I think that stuff is dangerous!" Julia dissuaded, "I don't think I'm going to leave that thing anymore!"
"What, Julia is scared?" Charles laughed, "I'll protect Julia!"
"Who... Who told you to protect you!" Julia blushed.
"Haha?"
Another teammate suddenly said, "I think this thing is a little incomplete, like a small part of this creature?"
"Huh?"
"In other words, his main body may not be too far away!"
"If you can get back the specimen of this unknown monster, it will be desirable!"
As he spoke, several people suddenly touched their noses in unison.
"What's the smell, the smell of blood?!"
At this moment, a cloud of black mud was touched from a distance, and it was many times larger than the previous black snake, and the whole was wrapped in red slurry, as if it was made of blood, emitting a strong smell of blood. Bubbles continued to bubble from the black mud, and these bubbles were creepy to form the appearance of human faces screaming in despair, surging alive, and some strange red and white objects were suspended in the sparse Lala, like ..... The flesh and blood remains of an organism in its body.
"It's pungent, what kind of creature is that?"
"It always feels a little dangerous!" called Julia.
One of the teammates volunteered and walked forward single-handedly, "Look at my brother!"
Clenched his fists, a powerful divine power immediately emerged, and then pounced directly, the moment he touched this black creature, he was drained of divine power, and for the gods, divine power is equivalent to life, if the divine power is completely drained, it is the exhaustion of the body, the loss of life.
"No!!" Charles yelled, "What kind of creature is that?!!"
"Not good!!"
Charles hurriedly drove his power, and a chain shot out of his hand, pulling his friend back, and it looked terrifying, like a zombie that had been drained.
"He's not dead yet, if you can send divine power to him in time, if you have something like the Ice Condensation Fruit that can recover a large amount of divine power in one go!"
"If we can get out, right?"
"That's right!"
The black mud touched the body, making a faint sound, and the two eyes like black holes seemed to be watching, moving wildly.
"Found it...... Fit body!"
Heavy dark clouds gathered in the sky, enveloping the earth, not allowing a trace of light to shine through, bringing an indescribable dull feeling to the entire valley of the abyss, and the purple thunder and thunder that flashed from the sky from time to time were even more disturbing, and several crows were disturbed by the thunder, and let out a sharp and piercing cry, and flipped their wings away from the branches, leaving only a few jet-black wings to fall to the ground with the wind.
Then, a strange energy rushed out of the black mud, turning into an invisible ripple that radiated in all directions.
"It's not good, let's go together!" Seeing the special energy on Black's body, the power that did not belong to the Divine Domain, Xia Er immediately felt bad, and gathered everyone to launch the strongest move to attack the black mud.
Dozens of powerful attack moves, mixed with various colors, twisted into a huge storm, as if to destroy everything in front of him, rushed towards the black mud, the black mud in this huge torrent of divine power like a small grass that will be torn apart at any time, not worth mentioning.
However, the black mud stretched out entirely, as if it had opened its hands, and it actually swallowed up all their attacks, turning them into its own energy.
It's like a nibder.
That was the first form of the nibder.
The terrifying power spreads out, almost an offensive that drains the divine power, is there really a way to deal with this creature?
"Get out of the way!!"
Countless black tentacles flew over, and Charles noticed and dodged them in time, while the other two teammates were hit by the attack and turned into zombies that had been drained of water.
"What should we do?" said Julia, frightened, running to Charles, "are we going to die here?"
"You don't blame me, I brought you here!"
Julia shook her head, "There's no point in talking about this now!"
"But I found out that he was just extracting energy, but the three of them were not killed, just extracting energy, I hope that the two of us can be found by the rescued teacher in time after being extracted and brought back for rescue!"
"But it's too late!"
"I'm sorry!"
"Huh?"
Julia was stunned, her body was instantly restrained by Charles into a powerful embrace, the unfinished words were Charles's affectionate kisses, the slightly cold tongue slid into her mouth, greedily grabbing the breath that belonged to her, and vigorously explored every corner, this moment of throbbing, made her forget everything around her, and she didn't want to think, but instinctively wanted to hug him, tighter, tighter.
Then, with his lips parted, Charles' face turned a little pale, "If we can go back alive, can we?"
"Kiss all the kisses, what are you talking about now?" Julia had tears in the corners of her eyes, and her heart was full of love.
"Julia, you have to live well......" After speaking, another kiss was given.
"Thank you, Julia, and forget about me!"
"Run!!"
Charles pushed Julia away, but ran into Black Mud's body alone, and Black Mud completely swallowed Charles with a stirring sound.
"No!!" Julia cried out with her arms outstretched.
The black mud slowly changed, like a giant egg, and began to change, as if the deep power around it began to surging to a place,
Julia did not run away, as if frightened, her mind was blank, but her trembling limbs seemed to be rooted in place, unable to move half a step, and the whole person fell into endless despair.
At this time, the sound of clicking kept ringing.
The black dome cracked into pieces, and an arm slowly swung out, and the black mud slowly dispersed, as if it had lost its function, and began to dissolve, slowly disappearing, and when a thick mist dissipated, Julia saw Charle's familiar face.
"Summer ......"
Julia didn't quite scream, but was it really Charles, with an arrogant look, her straight nose looking tougher in the light, revealing a chilling coldness. The pitch-black eyes are like two bottomless pools, and the pupils exude an unpredictable black shadow from time to time, mysterious and unpredictable. The thin lips outlined a cold arc, and the corners of the mouth that were slightly upturned revealed a sneer, terrifying.
This is not Charles! Who is he?
I saw Charles smile at Julia slightly, "What are you still doing here?!"
Julia felt the blood in her body cool and freeze rapidly from the terrible sight, and her heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, suffocating violently, and her whole body was like a dead branch shaking in the autumn wind.
"I'm not calling you...... Run?!!"
