Outside the barren wasteland, a strange scene was unfolding.
In a forest, a black lizard with scales all over its body was quickly running out of the forest.
The lizard's appearance was very strange. Not only was its entire body black, but there was also a lot of rotten flesh on its back that was not covered by its scales. There were many tiny black insects that were constantly crawling on it, causing the flesh to churn.
There were many similar creatures around the black lizard. Most of them were giant bugs, but there were also a few other creatures.
Bang!!
A light sound came from afar, bringing with it a burst of silver light that scattered in all directions, causing the surrounding creatures to scatter in fear.
At the end of a path, looking at the three-meter-tall corpse of a monster in front of him, Adil sheathed his sword and silently turned to the other side.
There were many similar corpses beneath his feet. There were common animals among them, as well as many bugs that had become much larger.
Without exception, these creatures had all mutated. Their originally normal body structure was stimulated by something, and suddenly became huge and terrifying.
"Sir Adil!"
A group of knights on horseback quickly approached from afar. The leader of the group shouted Adil's name.
"Are you done?"
Looking at the knight before him, Adil turned around and asked expressionlessly.
"It's been cleaned up." The knight before him looked at Adil with a respectful gaze and reported seriously, "Sir Anum is here in person."
"He's here too." Adil was a little surprised, "Lead the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could move, a familiar figure quickly walked over from afar.
It was Anum, currently riding a white horse and wearing red leather armor. He looked a little tired.
"Adil, are you done here?"
After seeing Adil, Anum forced a smile on his face and asked.
"Not bad." Sheathing his sword, Adil nodded, "The contaminated beasts here aren't too strong. The strongest one here is close to a Firmament Knight."
He pointed at the three-meter-tall corpse at his feet and said.
"What a coincidence, it's the same on my side." Anum smiled bitterly. "But I didn't have it as easy as you. It took me a lot of effort to get rid of that monster."
"As long as nothing happened," Adil said casually. He then got on his horse and walked to the side.
It had been almost a year since Adil became a Radiant Knight.
Over the course of a year, many things began to change.
The most obvious was the surrounding environment.
Half a year ago, a large number of polluted beasts began to appear everywhere, continuously attacking the cities and towns.
These Polluted Beasts weren't very strong, but they had a unique polluting nature. They could assimilate many normal creatures and turn them into Polluted Beasts of the same nature.
After being polluted, some common wild beasts would become more powerful. Some extremely powerful wild beasts would become as powerful as knights after being polluted.
If they were just ordinary beasts that had transformed into Polluted Beasts, it would still be fine. Although there would definitely be heavy losses due to the large number of Polluted Beasts, they would definitely be extinguished in the end.
The real danger lay in the powerful Polluted Beasts that had transformed from magical beasts.
These Polluted Beasts were the core of this disaster, and they were the main force that posed a great threat to the various kingdoms and lords.
No matter how much an ordinary beast was strengthened, it wouldn't become much stronger. However, a terrifying magical beast that was as powerful as a Knight or even a Firmament Knight would reach a terrifying level after being polluted.
For example, the monster that Adil had killed before was only a Grand Knight level magical beast. Although it wasn't weak, it wasn't too terrifying either.
However, after being polluted, the magical beast's strength suddenly became terrifying. It directly transformed from a Grand Knight to a Firmament Knight level.
Even Adil, the Sorcerer, was dumbfounded by this terrifying rate of growth. He could not understand it, let alone the others.
"What is the essence of a Seed of Pollution?"
Adil couldn't help but wonder as he rode on the road.
Over the past year, he hadn't let go of his relationship with the Turing Church. Although he didn't go to the headquarters because he had to stay by Alina's side, he still kept in touch with the Savage Beast Knight Riddle.
Through this relationship, he had obtained quite a bit of exclusive information, including information about the Seed of Corrosion.
This thing was the source of the large number of Polluted Beasts, but Adil had no way of finding out what it was. He could only make guesses by studying some Polluted Beasts.
"Is it the crystallization of some high-level creature's power, or is it a unique substance that was born in this world itself?"
As he rode on the road, Adil was still thinking about this question. He then looked at his stats page.
Name: Adil Farcus Strength: 64.3 Agility: 67.1 Vitality: 70.5 Mind: 77.1 Flesh Purity: 37.1%. Life Purity: 36.4% Realm Energy: 572.8 Bloodline: Moon Elf (Young)
The familiar stats page appeared in front of him once again. Compared to a year ago, it looked like he had improved a lot.
This was especially so for the Realm Energy column, which had increased several times over.
This was the result of Adil's hard work over the past year. After all, now that he knew who Destiny's Child was, the growth of his Realm Energy had undoubtedly increased a lot.
Especially after the outbreak of the Polluted Beasts, the growth of his Realm Energy had increased even more, which surprised even Adil.
After walking for a while and waiting for the sky to gradually darken, Adil and Anum finally stopped and brought the others to an empty space to rest.
When night fell and the others went to bed, Adil walked out alone with his sword in hand. He stood in front of the temporary tent and looked at the silver moon in the sky.
Perhaps it was because of the Moon Elf bloodline in his body, but when the moonlight shone on Adil's body, the Moon Elf power in Adil's body would become more and more active, raising his condition to its peak.
Feeling this unique feeling and looking at the bright moon in the sky, Adil got up and took out a letter from his bosom.
The envelope was purple and looked very beautiful. There was also a triangular symbol embroidered on it, representing the Turing Church.
This was the letter that Adil had just received today. It came from the Turing Church's headquarters, and it usually contained the Church's latest orders.
Opening the letter with practiced movements, Adil was stunned as he read the contents.
