Volume 1: The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 168: Mutation

By this time, most of the knights had moved away from the swamp, but some had not left the place because of the terrain.

At the edge of the line, a knight noticed an unusually large bubble floating in the swamp.

It was almost dozens of times larger than ordinary bubbles, and the size of the bubbles was even larger than his war horse.

This strange sight aroused the knight's curiosity, and he bent down to look at the bubble that was about to explode, only to be shocked to find a pair of glowing red eyes staring at him in the swamp!

The knight was frightened and tried to retreat, but before he could react, a bloody mouth came at him, and swallowed the knight and his horse in one bite.

Of course, such a big movement attracted the attention of the nearby knights, and they were shocked to realize that it was a huge toad that had eaten the knights!

What a disgusting monster it was! It was covered in purple bumps, with deep yellow pus flowing from its body, and a pair of window-sized eyes staring viciously at the knights in front of it.

Its mouth was still swallowing the eaten knight, and even the warhorse's limbs could be seen struggling desperately outside its mouth.

"You monster, let him go!"

Enraged by the befriending of the devoured knight, they slashed at the toad with their swords in hand, trying to save the knight in its mouth.

But what they didn't expect was that several smaller toads appeared next to the toad.

They spat out the acid in their mouths at the attacking knights, hitting them in the face with precision.

The armor's defenses were nothing to mention in the corrosion of the acid, and the knights who were hit let out a terrible howl, clutching their faces and falling to the ground.

Under the horrified gaze of the knights on the side, the faces of these people were easily corroded by the acid, revealing terrifying skulls.

Suffering such severe injuries that these hapless knights lost their lives in a matter of seconds.

The chaos of the rear team, the huge movement, of course, could not hide from Carter's sensitive ears.

He hurried to the place where the battle was taking place and saw the huge toad.

The giant toad seemed to be hungry, and instead of attacking nearby humans, it just blindly devoured the knight in its mouth.

But the little toad beside it kept spitting acid to block the attacking knights.

Katla came over to inquire about the situation with a knight who had been through the whole battle, and quickly understood the cause and effect of the incident, and he looked at the knight who fell to the ground and sighed slightly.

Carter shouted to the knights, "Attention, all attention, back away, away from the acid."

Get out your spears and throw them at these disgusting toads!"

The knights, commanded by Carter, regained their composure, stepped back to a safe distance, took out their spears and threw them at the toad.

These monsters were clearly lacking in intelligence, and they continued to spit acid at the knights, trying to repeat their old tricks.

Dozens of spears shot at each other, instantly piercing the toad's fragile skin, strung them together into hedgehogs and standing in the swamp.

The largest toad did not escape the fire, and its largest size naturally suffered the most attacks, and a dozen spears pierced its body and fixed it heavily in the swamp.

Something terrible happened, and although the spears made of fine iron succeeded in killing the monsters, they were also quickly corroded and rusted by the corrosive blood.

After a quarter of an hour, everything was finally at peace, and Gail and Carter walked side by side to the monster.

Gail kept a safe distance to observe the monster's situation, he frowned and said suspiciously: "I have never seen such a beast, its size far exceeds that of ordinary toads, this is definitely not a creature that can be formed naturally!"

Carter looked at this strange swamp as if he thought of something, and said his thoughts, "Do you say that these animals have been affected by the magic circle?

It is indeed very possible that a normal-sized toad has transformed into such a vicious monster!"

Gail looked at the forest in the distance and said, "From this point of view, the teleportation circle is in front of us, we are now hurrying to erase the circle before it gets dark!"

The crowd judged the location of the circle and hurried forward.

Carlos's team traveled much easier than Carter's group, and Carlos quickly returned to where Shanny was stationed, only to find that Shanny was no longer there.

Carlos ordered the knights to scatter around, looking for traces of Shanny.

Soon a knight found a useful clue, and he shouted at Carlos, "My lord, I found the handwriting left by Lord Shani!"

Carlos hurried here, and led by the knight to a large stone by the side of the road, on which a deep imprint was carved.

Carlos crouched down and looked carefully at the handwriting on the stone, which read,

"Lord Russell, I heard the sound of fighting coming from the mountains, and I would have liked to come to my aid with two knights who were guarding me, but I was concerned that Her Majesty could not be accidentally harmed.

So I decided to take the Empress back to the Empire, which is now out of control and in chaos.

I'm about to go back and put Prince Henry on the throne first. So I'm very sorry, I'll lead the two cavalry back to the empire first!"

It turned out that Shani and the knights began to rush to the territory of the empire, so Carlos was completely relieved.

Because he was also worried about how to bury the Empress, Shani's decision to return to Saint-Caron was also a burden for him.
