Cataclysm King

Chapter 421 The Light Chaser Three Thousand Years Ago

“Kill the rebel scout, gain +1 combat merit”

“Kill the rebel elite communications unit, combat merit +4”

“Kill the rebel reconnaissance captain, combat merit +10”

Ji Xun didn't know the enemy's situation, so he had to choose a quick battle.

Just a few breaths later, eight corpses were lying in a pool of blood.

Ji Xun killed four, and Nanjing and Chujiu killed two each.

I have to say that I met their team. Otherwise, the methods of this group of elite scouts just now are enough to make ordinary small mercenary groups fall into pieces.

Ji Xun looked at the corpse, then at the combat achievements obtained from the kills, and roughly assessed the strength of the enemy faced in this mission.

 The third-level card master has only a little combat merit for him. If he wants to raise 10,000 points, in theory, he has to kill 10,000?

Ji Xun sighed with emotion: "These card masters who have experienced war are really powerful in combat."

Chujiu also nodded: "Yeah."

Although the three people were easily dealt with just now, it was because all three of them were very powerful.

 But you must know that this is still just an ordinary reconnaissance team.

But the combat prowess, battle experience, and will shown just now are definitely not comparable to those of a card master of the same level three thousand years later.

People have been killed, and they still need necessary information.

Nan Jing took out a psychic scroll and was searching for the soul of a corpse.

This Miss Wanzitou is a high priest, and of course she is also proficient in the secret art of searching for souls.

Spells resembling Sanskrit chants were recited from his mouth, and mysterious inscriptions lit up on the psychic scroll.

Nanjing also got part of the information in a blink of an eye, and said with a serious expression: "This team is the fifth rebel army. Their base camp is eight kilometers northwest. However, we don't need to go find them. We have already killed these people." was discovered."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qidi also appeared: "C-level mission triggered: You and your partners' behavior of ambushing the rebel scouts has been exposed, and the rebel scout general 'Shadow Blade Harold' has led his masters to surround and kill them. You need to survive."

"hehe."

Ji Xun looked at Qidi and laughed at himself.

This space will really doesn't give people a chance to breathe. They are attacked as soon as they come in, and they come to hunt them down.

However, the mode of war is to fight and kill, and the three of them have been mentally prepared for this.

 They have no intention of staying where they are.

 A rebel general is not a big problem. It is a C-level difficulty. I estimate that "Shadow Blade Harold" is only level seven at most.

 What they are afraid of is the real top-level combat power of the rebels.

The three of them were about to leave, but Ji Xun discovered something and asked in surprise: "Where is Senior Xu?"

 I thought that the old man was hiding somewhere due to his old habits.

 But it’s unusual that he hasn’t shown up yet.

 Furthermore, I didn’t notice any living people nearby.

At this time, Chujiu thought of something and said: "I didn't see anyone when I came in just now. They shouldn't be with us."

Nanjing also shrugged, indicating that he didn't see it, and guessed: "Didn't he stay in the same position as us after entering the space?"

 The two women didn’t fully understand what was special about Old Man Xu, nor did they know why Ji Xun cared so much about it.

Ji Xun frowned immediately after hearing what they said.

 Because he thought of having a similar experience.

That time in Xia Mu City, in the secret realm where time can be traced back, Old Man Xu disappeared "inexplicably" like this.

 But later I found out that it was because time went back and everyone returned to a certain point in time except Old Man Xu, so he disappeared.

Ji Xun's first reaction when he thought of this was this.

 But after asking Chujiu and Nanjing, the two women found nothing unusual.

Now that Old Man Xu is missing, no one can tell what happened.

Ji Xun could only say: "Be careful and pay attention to the changes in time and space. There is something weird in this extra-dimensional space."

 The three of them traveled through the dense forest at high speed, and soon they found themselves being overtaken.

There are soaring eagles in the sky, and there are also some detective ghosts floating in the dense forest.

 They were locked in various ways.

The war lasted for decades in the late Talen period. It has to be admitted that these rebels who can survive until the final battle cannot be underestimated in terms of experience and strength.

  And there are many high-level card masters.

Even though Ji Xun and his three men were extremely capable, they still felt strong pressure from the pursuers.

Nanjing also confirmed that there was at least one seventh-level, three sixth-level, and a dozen elites behind them who could keep up with them.

 Obviously, the opponent judged the strength of the three of them based on the time it took them to kill the team just now.

 So the first thing is the corresponding pursuit and killing power.

If it were somewhere else, there would be a good chance if the three of them worked together to kill these pursuers.

However, they did not dare to take action until they understood the situation.

If you really want to kill the seventh level, the next time you come to hunt down may be the eighth level.

 This is a wrong way to break the situation.

The three of them were galloping all the way through the forest, with the sun shining in the forest from time to time, adding a bit of spring sunshine to the urgent pursuit.

Ji Xun kept thinking as he ran, "Xiao Nan, how are you doing over there?"

Nanjing continued to search for souls, trying to get as much information as possible: "It's almost there. It will take about three minutes!"

They dared to break in like this, largely because of the soul-searching secret technique that Miss Wanzitou learned from the "Book of the Dead".

This secret method can efficiently and accurately search souls to obtain information.

"three minutes?"

Ji Xun felt the sound of breaking through the air behind him and frowned.

If you really keep running like this, you will definitely be overtaken in three minutes.

However, although the "Shadow Blade Harold" behind him was fast, he couldn't remember being faster than Ji Xun.

Thinking of this, he jumped up and hugged the waist of Nan Jing, who was a few meters away.

When the meatball head let out a soft "ah", he saw that Ji Xun had teleported and hugged Chujiu not far away.

 The two women were stunned by this move at first.

 But then I understood something.

Hold a friend in one hand, Ji Xun's speed did not slow down, but suddenly increased several times.

Ji Xun opened up his speed in front of the two of them for the first time, zipping through the forest like a gust of wind.

 Traveling in the air all the way, the speed is extremely fast.

 Coupled with the already practiced gravitational and repulsive forces, it was as if there were two invisible hands, pulling and pulling, until they almost reached the woods, leaving only an afterimage.

 Then there is the skill of walking in the void. Occasionally, there is no need to avoid obstacles when encountering them, and they can pass directly through them.

And Nanjing did not disappoint. She first searched the soul to get the nearby defense situation.

With her guiding the way, the three of them could perfectly avoid the nearby trap area and get out of the siege immediately.

Just like that, after the three of them crossed another mountain, they even forcibly got rid of the pursuers!

 In a sheltered deep forest, three figures stopped.

 The Swift Eagle above his head could no longer be seen. He sensed his surroundings and found no pursuers coming.

Qidi also appeared at this time: "C-level mission completed. You and your partners have escaped from the rebel siege. Obtained combat merit +1000, plot point *1"

Logically speaking, the mission requires killing the pursuers in order to maximize the benefits. Now that I have escaped, I only received a small reward.

It's just a C-level mission, and it doesn't have much appeal to Ji Xun and the others.

 Seeing Enlightenment, the three of them also breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Jing patted his bulging chest, as if he had experienced a thrilling chase, and asked curiously: "Why can Ji Xun run so fast? He actually got rid of all the seventh-level assassins?"

Stopping, Chujiu also glanced at Ji Xun in surprise. Although he said nothing, he was also surprised by the change in this old friend.

The evacuation speed just now really made her feel incredible.

Ji Xun smiled and explained: "It's just gravity and repulsion."

 He did not say much on this topic, but asked: "Xiaonan, is the information like this?"

Nanjing Soul Search was almost done, so he took out a piece of white paper, drew a simple map, and said: "Our current location is the Luolin Mountains to the west of the Imperial City. There are human rebels here. .The leader of the rebels is Brulos, the "King of Gladiators". If nothing else, it should be the incarnation or descendant of the ‘Lord of Military Disasters, Monliod’. The rebels have a total of sixteen large legions, and their number exceeds one million."

“To the south is the insect army of the ‘Mysterious Insect Mother, Kalakta’”

“To the north is the Corrupted Plague Zombie Army of Neisser, the Source of Corruption”

“To the east are the millions of orcs’ legion of ‘Beast-Blooded Mutu’.”

As he spoke, Nanjing marked it on the map.

But the person who searched for souls was just a small team leader, so he didn’t know much.

Ji Xun and Chujiu both listened carefully.

 The three of them studied the direction of exploration before coming in.

Nan Jing also knew what information they needed, and continued: "The Imperial City is eighty kilometers northeast of us. But now it is surrounded, and it is almost impossible to enter. There are some rumors circulating among these rebels, saying that it is There may be secret passages leading to the imperial city in some places in the suburbs."

Ji Xun's eyes narrowed: "Secret passage?"

Although history has proved that the Talon Dynasty finally collapsed in this battle.

But currently, it seems that the imperial capital Behemoth will be the safest place until the final moment of breaking the city.

 The direction that the three of them explored before was to enter the imperial capital as much as possible.

 Because only after entering the city, the status advantages of Chujiu and Nanjing will be maximized. Only then can they obtain some unexpected gains.

Nanjing nodded: "Yeah. Legend has it that it's probably in this area - Gosya Volcano. It's not too far away from us."

Ji Xun looked at that position, and then recalled the fire resistance equipment of the mercenaries in the camp before he observed it, and analyzed: "The large forces of the Holy Holy See are active near this volcano. They should have discovered this secret passage, and Or relevant clues.”

 Nanjing: “Are we going there now?”

At present, it is only a C-level main mission. It is not difficult for three people to get 10,000 points.

Digging out hidden plots is the key.

Of course you have to find a way to get into the Imperial City. Top NPCs gather there, and there must be a lot of hidden plots to explore.

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded and thought deeply: "But we have to think of other channels. If I were the new king of Oran, I would definitely enter the secret passage as soon as I knew it was discovered. And then I would prevent others from entering." So the secret passage may not be that safe. If we haven’t found the secret passage yet, it will be difficult for the three of us to find it in a short time. So if we want to get to the imperial city as soon as possible, we may have to find another way.”

"Um."

 The three of them were very familiar friends. Chujiu and Nanjing also knew about Ji Xun's excellent decryption ability, so they listened quietly.

Soon, Ji Xun thought of a plan and said, "I want to disguise myself as a rebel and go deep into the rebel camp to see what's going on."

Upon hearing this, the two women's expressions showed a strange expression.

The name of this extra-dimensional space is "The Fall of Behemoth: The Siege of Thousands of Armies".

　　Although it is related to the battle of Talon's collapse, it is far from the final decisive battle.

The current main plot is only peripheral investigation, and the difficulty is not too great for the three of them.

And the normal idea is to advance along the main line, so as to ensure a higher survival rate.

 The two women could understand entering the imperial city. After all, they had information and status advantages.

 However, once you enter the rebel camp, the main plot becomes uncontrollable.

You must know that there are foreign gods among the rebels. As long as they are exposed, they will definitely die.

 But when they thought that it was Ji Xun who made the suggestion, the two women seemed to realize again. This guy always comes up with some crazy and special ideas.

Nan Jing worriedly asked: "But Ji Xun, would that be too dangerous?"

Judging from the current difficulty of the plot, there are many masters in the rebels, so it may not be impossible to discover Ji Xun's disguise.

Of course, Ji Xun had thought of this a long time ago and said, "So I plan to go to the orc army in the east. I can transform into a werewolf. With this disguise, the probability of being discovered will be very low."

 He had already confirmed from various channels that the pollution of Beast Blood Boiling Mutu was bloodline pollution.

This kind of bloodline control is not like the mental control of the Silver Moon Sect, which will be exposed due to impure beliefs.

Bloodline pollution is "the same kind" as long as they have the same ability to transform into beasts.

Ji Xun has no belief in the old gods, but he does have animalistic blood.

As long as you don't show off in front of top-level experts, the probability of being discovered is very low.

Nanjing and Chujiu heard about his plan. Although they knew the danger, they didn't think of a better option.

After making the decision, the three of them carefully walked through the dense forest and walked towards the east.

 Before infiltrating, Ji Xun still needs a lot of information.

"The B-level main story mission is triggered: Find the rebel headquarters. In order to break the long-term siege, the senior officials of the Talon Empire plan to carry out a bold beheading operation. But in order to ensure the success of the operation, the enemy headquarters must be identified first. Your mission It’s to find the location of the enemy’s headquarters.”

It took another two days.

Ji Xun, Chujiu and Nanjing worked together to kill several investigation teams and also obtained a large amount of intelligence.

Those people in the Southern Continent were not idle either, and raised the difficulty of the main plot missions to B level.

 The most obvious change is that there are more and more rebel scouts in the forest.

But fortunately, Ji Xun and the other three were not weak in strength, and there were no dangers.

 This day.

 In a dense forest.

The moonlight shines from the sky, illuminating the forest at night.

Under the cover of the barrier, the three tall werewolf corpses gradually returned to their human form.

There was another one who breathed a sigh of relief. While Ji Xun was interrogating, he also carefully observed this guy's character, voice, habits and appearance.

After searching for souls in Nanjing, he said solemnly: "About five kilometers further east, there is a stronghold of the orc army. The commander of the army is the seventh-level werewolf Morchroms. He is a reckless man and not very intelligent."

 This is the third Orc Legion stronghold they encountered, and it is also the most suitable one.

The information and alternative identities needed now are available.

Ji Xun nodded and killed the werewolf he was interrogating.

 The clown mask flashed with inspiration, and his whole body instantly turned into the appearance of a corpse on the ground.

His acting ability is now very proficient, and he can imitate 90% of it.

 Chu Jiu and Nan Jing on the side looked at the changed Ji Xun and said, "Ji Xun, be careful!"

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded, looked at the two girls, and said goodbye: "You guys too."

Having already discussed all the tactics in the past few days, without saying much, he turned around and sneaked towards the depths of the forest.

Ji Xun has already had many experiences as a spy.

 Whether it is acting or adapting to changes, he is confident that he will never expose any flaws.

Ji Xun injured himself a little more, pretended to be attacked, and then ran into another group of patrols in the forest.

This group of people started to hunt again, and Nan Jing and Chujiu killed a few more. In this way, Ji Xun, the "survivor", was no longer special.

 A large number of soldiers die every day on the battlefield, and no one cares about a few cannon fodder scouts.

Furthermore, after observing in the past few days, Ji Xun has also determined that people polluted by the external **** "Beast Blood Boiled Mutu" will be very strong physically, but their intelligence will not be that high accordingly.

These preparations are enough to make his identity flawless.

 Not long after, a group of wounded people returned to the camp.

Enlightenment tip: "You discovered the 'Black Mountain Orc Camp', plot exploration +0.1%, personal exploration +15%"

There are nearly 30,000 orcs stationed here.

Ji Xun quickly became familiar with the environment in a camp filled with stinky feces.

  After all, this is a different-dimensional space with no time limit.

 The original plan was that he planned to find some more information in the orc camp, and then find a suitable opportunity to see if there was a way to approach the imperial city.

  I don’t expect that this infiltration will definitely yield results.

In case that doesn't work, you can still complete the main mission by contacting Chujiu and Nanjing Liyingwai to force the orc camp.

However, Ji Xun just entered and lay in the wounded barracks for a short time.

Enlightenment prompts again.

"A-level optional plot mission triggered: 'Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta' used divine magic to trigger space tremors near the imperial city. In order to prevent the space from fragmenting, the high priest of the Tarun Empire, Nan Shenyu, used an artifact [ Wheel of Space], but because there are defectors in the human empire, how many pieces of the energy source stone were taken away, and you need to retrieve the space stones that the defectors took away."

“A-level mission triggered?”

 Lying in the hospital bed, Ji Xun suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the main plot line.

The A-level difficulty of this space is roughly equivalent to the S-level difficulty of other spaces.

  But the good thing is that it is “optional”, not mandatory.

An extradimensional space will not inexplicably increase the difficulty. The only explanation is that there are foreign adventurers, triggering some hidden plot.

“Has someone already gone to the imperial capital?”

 After Ji Xun’s deduction, he felt that this was most likely the case.

 The plot is triggered, most likely by contact with the relevant NPC.

It is impossible for female adventurers to come into contact with it. No, people from the Oran royal family may have a chance.

 But the greater possibility is that someone came into contact with Nan Shenyu, the high priest of Talon.

“Hey, is it possible that the new king of Oran has really come in person?”

Ji Xun thought about something and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had deduced the truth.

In such a super-large extra-dimensional space, being able to contact the High Priest Talon so quickly, in addition to entering the secret passage of the imperial city, must also require a special identity.

 There is a high probability that he is of Augustus bloodline.

Ji Xun looked at the content that appeared in Enlightenment. This kind of optional task was completely based on luck, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, next, something he never expected happened.

 In the ward, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Ji Xun on the hospital bed immediately became alert.

However, when he looked up, he saw a man wearing a mask slowly walking towards him.

 You were discovered as soon as you sneaked in?

Ji Xun realized this and his eyes twitched slightly.

 But looking at the familiar mask again, he was slightly surprised: "Light Chaser?"

 Not the mushroom head he knew.

 But the light chasers from three thousand years ago.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun immediately guessed how he was discovered.

 And why did you come to say hello in the first place?

The masked man didn’t waste any time. He walked over and said straight to the point: “I’m curious, who are you? And how did you come to know that “I am the world”?”
