He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

Upon seeing the mask on Luo Xia's face and the iconic black flame serpent behind him, the smiles on the faces of the bald, burly man and his companions froze completely.

They had witnessed the battle at the Night Owl Arena in Adelaide City last night, and even before that, the Seven Devils of the Black Wasteland had wanted to sign up for the Khorne Cup.

After all, in their eyes, Khorne was just a quasi-knight. How could he possibly be as amazing as the outside world made him out to be a quasi-knight who could defeat a low-level knight?

But last night's battle completely shattered the Black Wasteland Seven Monsters' worldview.

One sword kills thirteen people!

Among them are even three novice knights, whose strength is far greater than what is rumored outside!

"Sir... we were blind to your greatness. We'll leave now, we'll leave now."

Upon seeing Luo Xia's identity, the bald, burly man broke out in a cold sweat, bowing and urging the other four to hurry up and leave.

"No need."

"You've come at the perfect time. Let your blood celebrate the birth of my 'Dark Angel'..."

As soon as Luo Xia finished speaking, he made his move.

The black flame's life magnetic field suddenly spun, and the Dark Angel Spear in his hand thrust out instantly.

puff!

A muffled thud rang out instantly, and the scarred man's throat was pierced through, blood gushing out, and his body slumped to the ground.

"Its sharpness is quite good."

Luo Xia nodded in his evaluation, and then swung the Dark Angel Spear in his hand once again as if slashing.

A quasi-knight, who hadn't even activated his life magnetic field, was struck hard. The sound of bones shattering echoed through his body before he was sent flying and crashed heavily into a thick, dark, barren tree.

"Its resilience is also quite good."

Luo Xia's voice remained cold, like the Grim Reaper wielding his scythe, taking the time to comment on the merits and demerits of his own scythe.

"Damn it! Let's fight him! Without that blue greatsword, this kid might not be that strong!"

Upon witnessing the tragic deaths of his two brothers, the bald, burly man knew that the matter was far from over. He gritted his teeth, and his life force field began to swell, causing the phantom of a giant bear with golden eyes to slowly emerge behind him.

Seeing that their elder brother was prepared to fight to the death, the remaining two did the same. Their life magnetic fields pressed down on Luo Xia, locking onto him as they charged forward with their knives drawn and ferocious expressions.

"Ants... a fearless struggle..."

Luo Xia shook his head, but in order to test his Dark Angel Spear, he did not kill the two directly. Instead, he used the spear in his hand like a club to smash the machetes in their hands with one hand.

The result was exactly as Rorschach had predicted.

Ordinary weapons like these are no match for the Dark Angel Spear he forged.

It seems I, Rorschach, am indeed qualified to become a Salamander Master!

"Your eldest brother doesn't care about you anymore. Tsk tsk, he misjudged people."

Luo Xia smiled as he watched the bald, burly man who had sent two quasi-knights charging towards him slip away.

No wonder only five of the so-called Seven Devils of the Black Wasteland remained here; they had all been sold out.

Upon hearing Luo Xia's words, the two prospective knights were taken aback and immediately turned to look. They saw that their respected elder brother had already run several hundred meters away.

"Can you escape?"

A cold laugh came from behind the two prospective knights, and then they found that their field of vision had suddenly increased.

Then a whooshing sound rang out behind them, in their final moments.

The bald, burly man was pierced through the heart by a dark gold spear and pinned to the ground.

The heads of the two quasi-knights, with smiles on their faces, slowly fell to the ground.

"Damn it! I was so close, I can't die..."

With his heart pierced by a bullet, the bald, burly man could feel his life force slowly draining away, and his heart was filled with resentment.

why.

Why did I have to offend such a ruthless person?!

The fact that a quasi-knight would dare to light a fire in the dark wilderness forest at night is itself eerie!

"They're still alive? The life force of a novice knight is truly remarkable."

A slightly wistful voice rang out behind the bald, burly man.

This caused the other party to slowly turn his head, watching as the brass demon mask approached, slowly pulled the spear from his chest, and raised it again, aiming it at his own head.

"Heh, kid, I'll be waiting for you to die so you can keep me company..."

The bald, burly man spat out a mouthful of blood at Rorschach, but it was evaporated by an invisible black flame magnetic field before it could even get close. Then he grinned:

"Crimson will eventually descend upon the Black Wasteland, and you will all die!"

puff!

The bald, muscular man's smile froze on his face, his pupils slowly dilated, and he breathed his last.

"People from the Crimson Merchant Guild?"

Luo Xia slowly pulled the Dark Angel from the other's head, and black flames surged in his hand, evaporating the red and white parts on it.

But at this moment, Luo Xia frowned, not knowing what the bald, burly man meant by his last words.

Crimson descends upon the Black Wasteland?

Was the other party actually a member of the Crimson Merchant Guild, or did they see something?

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull offering to the skull seat!"

Unable to understand, Rorschach chose to stop thinking about it and instead took out Khorne's skull, sacrificing the bald, burly man who was a novice knight to Khorne.

[Khorusac skull: 3/8]

"Three now, just five more to go before I can draw again."

Luo Xia nodded in satisfaction and then began looting the corpses, but apart from the pitiful Hunter Cards, there was nothing else on these people.

They were pitifully poor.

"What happened to the promise of wealth and power for murderers and arsonists?"

Luo Xia felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that after killing so many people, apart from obtaining some resources and the "Dark Source Breathing Technique" by destroying the Crimson Merchant Guild's stronghold with the Iron Blood Legion, he hadn't gotten anything good from looting corpses since.

After collecting the five hunter cards into his own, the information on Rorschach's hunter card also changed.

Hunter: Khorne

[Number: 1388]

[Affiliation: Night Owl Knights]

Hunting Points: 344

"Oh? A Hunter Card is worth eight Hunting Points?"

Luo Xia was also stunned when he saw his hunting points soaring. Didn't this mean that every participant was comparable to eight mutated magical beasts that did not enter the rank?

"A Tier 1 low-level magical beast only gives 2 points, a mid-level one 3 points, and a high-level one 4 points..."

"Killing one contestant is comparable to hunting two high-level mutated magical beasts."

"This is truly... utterly terrifying!"

Chapter 118 Bloodline Sensation, Underground Secret Chamber (Seeking monthly votes, thank you!)

The next morning, the miasma in the Black Wasteland Forest dissipated slightly.

The roars of the mutated monsters began to echo.

Sitting on the stone anvil, Luo Xia slowly withdrew his constantly rotating dark source magnetic field.

"Thirteen levels already. The difficulty of cultivating this excellent-level breathing technique is indeed a level lower than that of the perfect-level technique."

"Even because my own life cycle has become completely perfect, I can cultivate these basic breathing techniques even faster."

Luo Xia opened his eyes, a slight tremor running through his heart.

If I continue at this pace, I might be able to cultivate another excellent-level breathing technique to near-knight perfection when I go to participate in the knight baptism.

Thinking of this, Luo Xia slowly stood up, stretched, extinguished the fire with water, picked up the Dark Angel beside him, and prepared to continue his journey into the depths of the Black Wilderness Forest.

The target of the Lion King Trial is a second-tier mutated magical beast. These magical beasts, which are comparable to the level of a Grand Knight, usually have a strong sense of territory and will never be active on the outskirts of the Black Wasteland.

Therefore, if Luo Xia wanted to find his own goal in completing the Lion King Trial, he naturally had to continue searching deep into the Black Wilderness Forest.

In addition to finding hunting targets, Rorschach also needs to continue searching for high-grade ores.

While black gold ore is quite valuable, Luo Xia's current forging skills are far from sufficient to create armor strong enough to withstand second-tier mutated magical beasts using only it.

For the sake of his own life, Luo Xia naturally had to be fully prepared. Otherwise, even though his physical body was far superior to that of a regular knight, he would definitely suffer serious injuries if he went head-to-head with the claws and teeth of a second-tier mutated magical beast.

"Whoosh!"

A Tier 1 Elementary Wind Leopard suddenly pounced from a treetop, attempting to ambush its prey, whose life magnetic field was weak.

"The deeper we go, the more mutated monsters we encounter."

Luo Xia muttered to himself, without even turning his head, and with a backhand thrust, he stabbed the Wind Leopard in the eye socket, killing it instantly.

Hunting Points +1

After casually storing the blood leopard's carcass in his hunter's card, Luo Xia continued walking deeper into the area without stopping.

Throughout the morning, Luo Xia experienced at least dozens of such attacks. Because of the tall trees and lush foliage in the Black Waste Forest, almost all the mutated magical beasts here possessed the superhuman ability to climb trees.

And they often leap out from the tall tree canopy to hunt the creatures that come into view.

However, these methods of concealment have no way of hiding from Rorschach's ever-evolving life magnetic field.

This made Luo Xia sigh, the Knight class is really a jack-of-all-trades, can withstand attacks and deal damage, and even has a built-in detection function, it's simply overpowered!

"However, I wonder what kind of experiments these wizards are using these mutated magical beasts, which are even inferior to abyssal beasts..."

Luo Xia muttered to himself, then suddenly his spirits lifted and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Just now, his blue sea of ​​consciousness, formed by the convergence of spiritual power, suddenly experienced a strange tremor.
