Cataclysm King

Chapter 437 How outrageous is this guy?

“Donna, is it possible that we are under an illusion? Why did I see the captain hugging a man?”

　　"Why are you pinching me? Why are you pinching yourself! Idiot Rogge!"

“Isn’t this the ‘friend’ the captain was talking about?”

ˆ “.”

The members of the New World Mechanical Team looked at the scene in front of them and rubbed their eyes in unison, thinking that they were under an illusion.

However, after watching for a while, the brain finally believed what the eyes saw: Captain Dong Qi really embraced a man passionately!

And judging from the intimate expression, the two of them are not generally close.

what's the situation?

 Seven pairs of eyes stared directly at the two of them, and no one said anything.

 But the seven faces all had the same astonished expression.

 The breeze was blowing, and the sea of ​​grass was very quiet, with only the sound of rustling grass waves.

 The burning longing for the reunion after a long separation reached its climax at the moment of hugging each other, and the sanity gradually returned.

Just now Dong Qi only had Ji Xun in his eyes.

Now, she saw the curious faces of her companions, staring at her intensely.

Dong Qi suddenly remembered something. Without any awkwardness at all, he generously introduced to everyone: "Let me introduce to everyone, this is Ji Xun."

As she spoke, she introduced her friends to Ji Xun: "Ji Xun, these are the members of our New World Mechanical Group, Gibb, Rock, Dina, and Donna."

 One side is the closest friend, and the other side is a fighting partner.

 Dong Qi introduced them one by one carefully.

 Both parties also nodded, indicating that they knew each other.

There are also people who have paid attention to Donghuang's wanted notices and recognized Ji Xun as an "S-class wanted criminal" who is still on the wanted list.

 However, just because they recognized him, everyone became more suspicious.

 The captain said before, he is a very powerful friend. Is this this one?

 They did not question the captain's words.

But that's just the current situation. Unless the Valkyrie from the Revolutionary Army comes, they really can't think of anyone who can save them from the danger.

 Although the seven young mechanics said nothing, they could not hide the sadness in their eyes.

 No reinforcements were seen, there was still a last glimmer of hope;

 But when I really saw people coming, it seemed that all illusions were shattered.

 If I remember correctly, is this person on the wanted list a fourth-level or fifth-level person?

  In the current situation, ordinary seventh-level card masters cannot solve the problem.

 What is the use of this person coming?

 Compared with the complicated thoughts of his companions, Dong Qi didn't have any urgency at all.

 Because she knew her old friend’s character very well, and if he said “it doesn’t matter”, then it must be no problem.

However, in the current situation, Dong Qi is also very curious about Ji Xun's plans.

 She looked at Ji Xun expectantly and asked directly: "Have you advanced again?"

 Actually, what she wanted to ask was: Have you advanced to the eighth level?

From Miss Qiqi's point of view, she herself didn't believe that Ji Xun could advance to the eighth level, so she didn't dare to ask directly.

 But what if.?

However, the fact is that the last time the two met, they were still at level five, and now they are at level six, which is indeed an advanced level.

Ji Xun looked at the look of great expectation in Dong Qi's eyes, smiled and shook his head: "The strength is a bit improved. But it's not as exaggerated as you think."

As he said that, he knew what the other party wanted to ask, so he simply added: "At least, it can't beat the Titan armor."

The Titan Armor's combat capabilities are aimed at level 8 card masters. Because of the special nature of the machine, it does not have the same shortcomings as humans, so it can perform well even against level 9 card masters.

 This is the top combat power designed by the Talon Dynasty to deal with changing the war situation. How can it be so easy to deal with.

Not to mention Ji Xun's current situation, even if he is at the seventh level, normal means cannot even hope to get benefits in front of this pinnacle work of Talon's machinery.

Hearing this, Dong Qi was also stunned: "Huh?"

What should I do if I can’t beat you?

Before the moment of panic emerged in her heart, she looked at the calm face as always, and she guessed in her heart: "Could there be someone else coming?"

 But after looking at it, it seemed like there wasn’t one.

There was just a bulge in his pocket, and it looked like Ivan was sleeping soundly.

Ji Xun smiled and shook his head, and said meaningfully: "You don't have to be able to solve the problem."

Dong Qi was completely puzzled: "Huh?"

 How to solve the problem if you can’t beat it?

Ji Xun didn’t explain much and pondered for a moment: “This.”

He now also somewhat understands why he used to feel that when chatting with people like Jia Yu who were good at strategy, he always felt that the other person was only half-talking.

 In fact, it is not a pretense.

Rather, some plans are completely deduced and can be understood by oneself, but when told to others, it may require too much explanation.

Moreover, the line of deduction does not necessarily lead to one result, but to multiple possibilities.

 He can explain, but the listener may not understand.

It’s still troublesome.

Ji Xun thought about it, looked at Dong Qi, and said, "Qiqi, you just need to know that if you really need reinforcements, they can be found."

This time he came to Donghuang to build a teleportation array.

Griffith is now in the headquarters of the Old Continent Chain Alliance Army. He can be summoned by using the space scroll.

If a master like that comes over, even a Titan armor can handle it.

However, the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army is not a thug. He can be summoned if you ask him to.

That favor is more valuable than a mecha.

 Until the problem is truly unsolvable, Ji Xun will definitely not trouble others.

Dong Qi blinked after listening to Ji Xun's words.

Although she didn’t understand it very well, since the other party said it, she completely believed it.

 She knew Ji Xun's methods and also knew that he had a close relationship with the Dragon Rebel Army in the Southern Continent, so she thought the "reinforcements" referred to the masters there.

That’s really not convenient to elaborate on.

Ji Xun didn’t say anything, and Dong Qi was sensible enough not to ask.

 However, the seven team members on the side frowned more and more.

These young mechanics knew almost nothing about the intelligence outside Donghuang, and it was difficult for them to understand where Ji Xunrong's confidence came from.

 Dong Qi also knows the worries of his partners, and now needs some practical things to boost morale.

She asked again: "Ji Xun, what should we do now? Now we have been targeted. If we can't deal with the Titan mecha, we may not be able to go anywhere."

Ji Xun was not surprised at all.

 In fact, from the moment they met, I had even guessed everything about their entry situation.

He asked in return: "Why do you think the people from the Oran Royal Court didn't kill you?"

Dong Qi said directly: "For the intact armor, for the experimental equipment and data we carry, and for finding the location of the base."

Ji Xun listened with the corner of his mouth still slightly curved, "So, what do you think is the best way for them to get these?"

Dong Qi had of course thought about this problem a long time ago and said directly: "Capture us alive."

Ji Xun nodded, still looking at her inquiringly, as if asking: What next?

The people on the sidelines were confused as they listened. Isn’t it true that everyone can think of these questions? What’s there to ask?

Dong Qi understood what he meant instantly, and then said: "You want to say, how can we be captured alive?"

Ji Xun nodded: "Yeah."

ˆ “.”

Dong Qi frowned immediately when he thought of this.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about it.

 It’s about this journey that I have thought about countless times.

 They can die in battle, but no matter what, they cannot be captured alive.

However, just when she was about to express her thoughts, she knew that Ji Xun must be able to think of such a simple question.

There must be a deeper meaning in this question.

 So Dong Qi did not respond in a hurry, but fell into deep thought.

Ji Xun didn’t seem to be in a hurry to tell him the answer.

 Danger has always been the best way to grow.

 He can easily help solve problems, but not every danger in the future can be helped by himself.

 He could see that there was a very sophisticated guy among the pursuers of Oran Royal Court.

 Looks like he should be a counselor who is very experienced in marching and fighting.

 The current Dong Qi is not the gangster lady she used to be.

 This kind of strategic confrontation is a rare experience for a qualified commander.

 After thinking for a moment, Dong Qi still didn't expect it and could only ask: "So, Ji Xun, what do you mean?"

 When you are in the middle of a game, it is sometimes difficult to see through it. Ji Xun also reminded some key words at the right time: "Spiritual illusions, or some mysterious methods."

"this"

Dong Qiyi’s expression instantly became more solemn upon hearing this.

 When she thought about it, it was indeed true.

 The best way to capture them alive is not to capture them alive in a head-on battle, because that is simply impossible.

Hunter's Warframe is immune to almost all known illusions.

 So we can only wait until they are unprepared, such as when they are camping to rest, and use mysterious spells to directly control their bodies.

 But they have thought about this idea before.

Dong Qi didn't know what Ji Xun saw, and tried hard to think of what he had overlooked.

However, the young companions on the side were a little helpless.

 They listened to the whole conversation between the two, but they were not as able to follow Ji Xun's thoughts as Dong Qi.

After watching his captain think about such a simple question for a long time, the young man named Rock finally couldn't help but speak, "Sir, I don't question your intention. But you may not be too concerned about the mechanical armor we wear. Understand. This 'Hunter Armor' is not any kind of mechanical device on the market. It is designed to take into account almost any possibility in combat, including mental spell impact."

 He thought that Ji Xun didn't know the characteristics of the armor, so he asked such a question.

Then he continued to explain: "The main material of the helmet of the Hunter God War Armor is [Abyssal Scale Copper], which is a high-grade metal that can shield mental pollution. What's more, there are complex protective spells inside the war armor that are enough to resist any mental illusions. and mysterious spells. Moreover, the mecha has a self-destruction device. Once we cannot escape, we will activate the self-destruction mode, so there is no way we will be captured alive on the battlefield."

 When he said this, the young man's face showed inexplicable pride and courage.

Although the other six young mechanics did not speak, they obviously meant the same thing.

 But what they don’t know is.

Ji Xun not only knew the detailed parameters of the Mech Hunter Armor, but even the fact that the armor could be manufactured was based on the blueprints that he and Dong Qi had gone to grab.

Dong Qi looked at his partner and wanted to remind him: "Luo Ke, don't"

 However, Ji Xun interrupted her and agreed with his statement: "Well, you are right."

 This statement made others even more suspicious.

But he suddenly changed the topic and asked everyone at the same time: "What if it's not in battle? You won't always wear the armor on your body, right?"

As soon as this question came up, every member of the team showed an expression of "Oh, so this guy really doesn't understand technology." Only Dong Qi is still thinking.

Although Rock felt that this reinforcement was not reliable, because he was the captain's friend, he still patiently explained: "Sir, this problem is almost impossible to happen. Our mecha carries a [Higgs Life Detector] , [Fifth Generation Energy Fluctuation Detector], [High-Sensitive Mechanical Signal Catcher]. These devices are a bit troublesome to explain, but what is guaranteed is that we will find it as soon as any target approaches us.”

While explaining, he also pointed to the precision instruments with light screens on the armor, and did not forget to add: "It's like you came here just now, and we discovered it in advance."

 Rock said what all his teammates wanted to say.

In front of this group of young men, each of whom can be said to be a mechanical genius, when talking about machinery, their eyes instantly became hot.

However, as soon as the words came out, they looked at Ji Xun's still smiling expression and realized that there seemed to be something weird.

Oh, I almost forgot.

How was this guy so fast just now?

 Even surpasses the Hunter God Mecha!

Ji Xun listened patiently to Luo Ke’s explanation.

 But these young mechanics don’t know that he knows the devices equipped with the Hunter God Armor better than they do.

 Even those drawings were copied by him himself.

 He can clearly remember every data of the device.

As soon as these words came out, no one spoke.

 The quiet air had an indescribable air of embarrassment.

 Dong Qi also knew that he had the ability to have a photographic memory, but this attitude only made her feel that they had overlooked something.

Miss Qiqi’s arrogant character is not good at those conspiracies.

 But now that she is the commander of the New World Regiment, she always feels the responsibility to think about these tactics.

 But it is not my strong point after all.

 Dong Qi thought that he had considered everything he could.

She simply stopped thinking about it. She immediately opened her brows, hugged Ji Xun's arm, and said as if she didn't want to think anymore: "Hey, hey, hey, so, what on earth is it? Come on, come on, come on."

That familiar Miss Qiqi is back again.

 Looking at this scene, the friends around were stunned again.

Ji Xun felt the warm and soft touch on his chest and said helplessly: "Hunters often deal with ferocious prey. The best way is not to deal with them head-on, but to use traps."

 The advantages of being a mechanic are many.

 But the shortcomings are very obvious. Their physical bodies are almost the weakest among the fifty-two sequences.

They rely too much on mechanical equipment, so the crisis premonition ability that other card masters have, mechanics have almost zero.

 There is no problem with the equipment, and there is no problem with what they said.

 But the problem is that one of the enemies is good at layout.

As soon as these words came out, Dong Qi and his team members immediately felt like they were awakening from a dream: "Trap?"

yes!

This metaphor fits their current situation very well. In the eyes of those in the Oran Royal Court, aren't they dangerous prey?

 But how to set up a trap?

Ji Xun was not making any detours at this time, and his thoughts had given them enough guidance, so he said directly: "Did you come all the way from the northeast before?"

Dong Qi blinked and asked, "How do you know?"

She thought about it for a moment. Shouldn’t she have mentioned this issue just now?

Ji Xun has been wandering around here for a whole day, and of course he found the traces left by the mecha's actions.

And because before meeting the person, he deduced the purpose of the Oran royal family's desire to capture him alive, so he deliberately observed more details.

As long as the purpose, the intelligence of both sides, and the environment can be linked together, Ji Xun can certainly think of any plan that the enemy can think of.

He said directly: "The random lines you think are actually 'driven' by people. It's like a hunter driving his prey to a preset trap. It's just that the enemy is very smart, and you may not realize it."

Hearing this, Dong Qi was struck by lightning.

She thought that just now Ji Xun had guessed the direction in which they were coming, so couldn't the enemy also guess it?

 Although I don’t know how they did it, the facts are right in front of them.

 The seven teammates on the side still didn’t understand.

Ji Xun broke their last fantasy and said directly: "Further south of this Caohai, there is a canyon that is very suitable for hiding. It is impossible for you to stay in the same place for too long, so there is a high probability that you will change campsites next time. You will enter the canyon. Then, you will most likely encounter a trap that has been preset. I guess it is the Silver Moon Illusion."

 This statement is understood by everyone.

 The instrument can indeed sense nearby enemies.

 But what if there are no enemies nearby?

As long as a trap is set, they will run into it without even knowing it.

Thinking of this, Dong Qi and others felt chills running down their backs.

 At this time, they realized that the enemy's conspiracy hidden under the surface was so clever!

Ji Xun said these words in an understatement. For a moment, the young mechanics who had looked down upon him just now looked at him differently.

They all listened to the conversation between the two. Even though the captain hadn't said anything yet, he had already guessed everything.

 Not only the way they came, but also the canyon, which they had already discussed and decided to go to next!

This feeling is very absurd.

as if

 It is as if they are actors on a stage, and everything they do is performed according to the established script.

 Everything is completely under the control of others.

At this moment, chills ran down the spine, and the eyes of the young mechanics became more and more unbelievable.

Once the enemy's layout was clear, the dark clouds hanging over everyone's minds were instantly swept away.

The suffocating pressure seemed to have disappeared.

This friend, captain, seems to be really powerful.

The players of this New World Machinery Troupe are unknown at this moment.

Ji Xun looked at those pairs of admiring eyes that were filled with admiration and admiration, smiled and shook his head.

It seems like I remember the feeling I had when I saw Jia Yu or Nanjing's mother masters arranging games.

 It turns out that without even realizing it, I have become very powerful.

Those layouts that may seem esoteric to others are easily accessible.

Ji Xun had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and his eyes were slightly distracted.

Dong Qi pursed his lips, but he was not as open-minded as others. He only hugged him intimately, and then muttered: "Sure enough, you guys can think of everything."

Although he was equally surprised, this feeling was very familiar, like before.

 She likes this feeling.

Ji Xun looked at Dong Qi and did not forget to say: "Qiqi, you rely too much on machinery, and thus you have lost some of the judgment you should have."

Dong Qi pursed his lips and said, "I know."

　　Although the tone was complaining, I remembered it in my heart.

After thinking for a while, Dong Qi asked: "But Ji Xun, what should we do next?"

 Other team members also cast curious glances.

This time there are no doubts, only expectations.

Now we know that the enemy has set a trap to drive them away. Of course they cannot go into the canyon if they want to come.

 But he couldn't think of a better response.

 The dilemma that should have existed has not even changed at all.

However, what Ji Xun said next made everyone's jaws drop.

 He said casually: "Of course, keep going."

"ah?"

Dong Qi said in confusion: "But...we are going. Aren't we falling into the enemy's trap?"

Ji Xun also said casually: "Yes. Without bait, the enemy will not fall for it."

ˆ “.”

 When Dong Qi heard this, the familiar feeling came back.

 Although she was not convinced by being used as "bait", she had to admit that Ji Xun's plan was always right.

Ji Xun didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "If you don't completely deal with the pursuers, you can't keep wandering in the wasteland, right? My idea is that you just pretend you don't know anything, go to the canyon when you should go to the canyon, and go to the canyon when you should be in the middle." A hit within a hit."

 Dong Qi: "."

 Everyone: “.”

 Everyone was confused when they heard Ji Xun's words.

 So, knowing it’s a trap, we still hit our heads?

Is this guy serious?

Ji Xun knew that his thoughts were a little off-topic.

 The truly smart layout is not to break, but to follow the trend.

He didn't know how to explain it, so he told others the plan that sounded like a fantasy: "Well, then I will try to get rid of the pursuers completely. Only then can you really get away."

Before he finished speaking, the young mechanics all twitched their eyes, obviously feeling that this plan was terrible.

Dong Qijing rolled her eyes. The tacit understanding between the two made her understand a lot.

 She knew that Ji Xun must have the strength to solve it if he said this.

But she was still afraid that the other party would not know the situation, and said: "But, even if you don't count the Titan armor, there is a seventh-level Moon Guard among the pursuers. It is the Lieutenant General of the Federation's Second Army, "Dream Weaver" Hera. ."

 “Newly promoted to the seventh level? It’s not a big problem”

Ji Xun smiled calmly.

 He could tell this plan, but how could he fail to deduce the enemy's strength?

 Except for special beings like the moon **** Arachne, the local combat power of the Eastern Wasteland should only be at the seventh level at the moment.

 The Titan armor is already high-quality when it comes, and the rest is just a little bit added incidentally.

Moreover, the other party had already considered capturing him alive, so the people he sent were also good at spiritual arts.

"Dream Weaver" Hera, a former senior federal staff officer with the rank of lieutenant general, is good at spiritual mysticism.

Ji Xun remembered every high-level card master in Donghuang who had official records.

 Hearing this name, it almost completely matched his previous speculation.

Dong Qi couldn't hide his surprise when he saw how confident Ji Xun was: "Can you deal with the seventh level?"

 She would not believe it when others said it, but she believed Ji Xun's words without any doubt.

Ji Xun shrugged noncommittally, "It's hard to say about other seventh-level ones, but I can give this spiritual one a try."

Hearing this understatement, Dong Qi was so shocked that it was hard to describe. How strong is this guy now?

However, the seventh level is not the biggest problem, they can even kill it.

 The most critical thing is the Titan armor.

Thinking of this, Dong Qi frowned and asked: "But what about the Titan armor? I can contain it for a while. But it will be defeated after a long time. After all, the gap between the mechanical armor is too big."

Ji Xun really couldn't explain this question. After thinking about it, he said meaningfully: "That guy really needs to be well-informed. If he sees me, he will most likely run away."

 Will the Titans escape?

 At this point, Dong Qi and the young mechanics' expressions became stiff again.

At this moment, everyone's thoughts were surprisingly the same, and they thought quietly: How could this guy say such outrageous things in such a plain tone?
