Cataclysm King

  Chapter 97 The First Demon Horn

   Dead!

   All the hunters stared at the guy whose head had been pierced, and were stunned for a moment before realizing: "Enemy attack!"

   "Quick! Watch out for the archers!"

  Everyone picked up their equipment one after another and looked around for hiding places, fearing that the cold arrow would hit their heads in the next moment.

  Ji Xun glanced at the direction of the arrow trajectory from the corner of his eye, only saw a piece of darkness, and exclaimed in his heart: "What a clever stealth method. Is it a disaster-level demon shooter?"

   But obviously, the danger is more than cold arrows.

   Right after this arrow, dense footsteps sounded in the surrounding dense forest.

  Ji Xun's ears trembled slightly, and he recognized an approximate number, and frowned slightly: "At least several hundred."

  At first, it was like the slight movement of ants climbing, but it didn't take long before it was like a flood.

  Everyone saw that all kinds of little devils, big devils with sticks, **** dogs, and lava slimes all surrounded the team from all directions in the forest.

   It's not a small group of enemies, but an army of monsters!

  The little devil has tried it before, and it probably has the combat power of Katu.

  But those two-meter-high big demons can resist bullets, which obviously already has the combat effectiveness of a formal card master.

  Among the group of monsters, there was also a five-meter-tall gray-skinned giant with an ugly face.

  Extremely eye-catching!

  【Giant Demon】

  Detailed Explanation: The first-order D-level calamity, a demon with giant blood, it has powerful strength and thick flesh;

   Seeing this, all the hunters cursed: "Damn it! How can you be so unlucky, you met the monster army as soon as you came!"

   Ji Xun took a quick look at Monster Chao, but his expression didn't change much.

   He was not surprised to meet a monster.

   But to his surprise, they didn't meet all the way, but they met here?

   "Ambush by a demon?"

   Thinking of something, Ji Xun suddenly sneered in his heart: "Oh, that young master Kahn really didn't disclose any news."

  Their situation here is so bad.

   It is conceivable that the situation of other teams is definitely not good.

   Just this encounter, not many of the two hundred hunters will survive.

  But in fact, this can be avoided.

  Because someone has already come in once before, the relevant information about the D-level mission has already been spread out.

  But the information that Ji Xun bought before was all about space rewards, and nothing about plot tasks.

   It's not that the intelligence merchant doesn't know.

   Instead, someone paid a higher price and monopolized the information.

   You don't need to think about it, you know it's the Lionheart family.

   But those guys knew they would be ambushed by monsters in the Jagged Forest, and they didn't reveal anything before.

   Still let everyone divide their troops to complete the "Beacon Tower Mission".

  Ji Xun also guessed why.

  If the development of the original plot is not changed, the information in the hands of those guys is more valuable.

  And once the hunters die, the guaranteed death rate will be filled in the first place.

   The trigger probability of "unexpected plot" will be the lowest.

   This is of no harm to those in the Lionheart family.

   Before I had time to think about it, the battle had already been triggered.

  The hunters saw that they were surrounded by monsters. Although their faces were pale with fright, they also took out various weapons and began to attack.

  Ordinary firearms can still be used, and the long-range is firearms and crossbows.

   "Boom", "Boom", "Boom".

   "嗖", "嗖", "嗖".

  The battle became intense in an instant.

  But the number of monsters is dozens of times that of them, and the firepower of a dozen hunters can't hold back the monster army's footsteps at all.

   After a few breaths, the group of demons rushed into the flat ground where they were resting, and began a fierce close combat.

  Ji Xun also failed to stay out of the matter.

   Dozens of dexterous little devils charged up with sharp stone daggers.

   Although Ji Xun's breastplate is crude, it is enough to defend against most attacks.

   With his current power, this kind of monster is almost one by one.

  The long-handled ax in his hand swings wildly in a whirlwind, and when the shield hits, the little devil will die violently on the spot.

   While killing monsters, Qidi also quickly refreshed the screen.

   "Kill the 'little devil', battle merit +1"

   "Killing 'Cerberus', combat merit +1"

  「.”

   In the blink of an eye, dozens of battle achievements were recorded.

  There are too many monsters now, so I can only ask for luck.

  Ji Xun glanced out of the corner of his eye, and other people in the team also tried their best, and old man Xu had disappeared.

   But the boy he was following was very heroic.

  The young man holds a fishbone rapier, and almost every sword can accurately penetrate the eyebrows of a demon.

   A pile of corpses quickly piled up beside him.

   And the eyeliner of the black wolf group has transformed into a werewolf form at this moment, and it is also powerful in combat, with a little devil in each paw.

  Although Ji Xun's ax and shield skills are not high, he has already suppressed most of the demons with strength alone.

   It was time to glance out of the corner of the eye, probably because his "black knight" had too big a goal.

  The D-level calamity [Giant Demon] also came up.

  Ji Xun didn't mean to back down at all.

  He also wanted to try to see what his current strength was.

   "Boom", "Boom", "Boom".

   This monster like a mountain of meat came running, feeling like the earth was shaking.

   As soon as he came running wildly, the huge stone mace with the thickness of a tree trunk hit Ji Xun with a stick.

   "Huhu" strong wind pressure on the surface.

   This monster looks clumsy, but the speed of this stick is extremely fast.

  The air on the stick was distorted into ripples visible to the naked eye, showing the horror of its strength.

   If you get hit head-on, if you were a black knight, you might have to be thrown flying even with your armor on.

  Ji Xun didn't dare to take it hard.

   Dodge lightly under your feet, avoiding danger.

   "Huh!"

  The sound of breaking wind brushed his scalp.

   As soon as Ji Xun avoided it, the sawtooth tree trunk embraced by the two of them was knocked off, and sawdust flew all over the sky.

  The magic power of this giant is really amazing.

   But look now.

  It swings down with a stick, but it is clumsy when it swings backhand.

  Ji Xun keenly caught this weakness, and he is not polite.

   While dodging, he swung his long-handled ax towards the giant's knee and hit it with an axe.

   "Poof!"

  Like chopping on thick rhino hide.

  Magic body protection, the blade of the ax is not considered sharp and cut into a few centimeters.

   But it's all cuticle, no blood in sight.

   "What a thick defense!"

   It was this confrontation that Ji Xun had an accurate idea of ​​the monster's strength and defense.

  He drew out the axe, and with his backhand, swung the little devils around him into two severed pieces.

  The giant demon drew back the mace at this time, and yelled "Aw", the frontal stick that was so fast to appear phantom, smashed down heavily again.

  Ji Xun listened to the howling wind above his head, glanced slightly, and avoided it easily again.

  He hit another ax with his backhand, slashing at the wound on the monster's knee just now.

  Then swung the giant ax backhand again, cutting out a cloud of blood on the little devils who wanted to sneak attack.

   Fighting and fighting, one person and one monster seems to have become a turn-based battle.

   The monster threw a stick, Ji Xun dodged it, and threw an ax backhand.

   so repeatedly.

  There were too many monsters, Ji Xun withstood the D-level disaster and couldn't take care of himself.

  Other hunters are not capable of surviving enemies dozens of times their own.

  The field teams in the temporary group did not trust each other, nor did they cooperate.

   There were endless screams.

  Although most of the demon army is not strong, they are superior in numbers.

  One by one, they took sharp stone daggers and aimed at the hunters to pierce blood holes.

  Dozens of monsters stabbed together, and the cold arrows shot from time to time, the hunters couldn't stand it at all.

  The thirteen people fought on their own, and in the blink of an eye, there were only three places in the huge forest that were still fighting fiercely.

  Ji Xun, the captain of the black wolf regiment, and the boy holding a thin sword.

  The fighting power of the three of them is far superior to that of ordinary hunters.

   At this moment, the turning point also came.

   Ji Xun slammed his ax and hit the Giant Demon's left knee for the seventh time.

   This time, the ax finally went in.

  With the sound of "Hang", the patella shattered, and the five-meter-high body of the giant monster suddenly lost its balance and fell to its knees.

   Don't look at this guy's invulnerability and terrifying strength, but after lying on the ground and unable to exert strength, the threat is reduced by half.

   Swinging the ax twice again, the monster yelled "Aww" in pain.

   At this time, the boy not far away also saw an opportunity.

   There are still a lot of monsters, and the boss can be killed. This is the best chance to break the game.

  He froze, as if he had used some martial skill, "swish, swish" pierced a rain of swords, and a blood hole appeared between the brows and the center of a large group of little demons in front of him.

   Taking advantage of the moment when the tide of monsters eased, he rushed towards Ji Xun: "I'll help you!"

  Ji Xun watched the boy rushing towards him, but didn't say anything, and took the opportunity to block the giant's mace with his shield.

  The boy's figure leaped nimbly, and then stabbed the giant demon's eyes with a sword.

   This kind of rapier is already a light and precise martial art line, and the boy's sword is very precise.

  Ji Xun looked sideways slightly, because he saw a little cold light condensed on the tip of Jia Juvenile's sword.

   That is the sword energy compressed to the extreme.

not much.

   But enough is enough!

   There was a "whoosh", like piercing into rotten wood.

  The penetrating characteristics of the rapier made it easy for the sword body to sink into the giant's bull-head-sized head.

  The monster still wanted to resist, the mana power surged all over the boy, and there was a "poof", like a bullet piercing through, a blood hole was pierced through the back of the monster's head, and red and white plasma flowed out.

  Ji Xun looked at this sword skill and sighed in his heart: "The strength is pretty good."

  Among hunters, it is rare to see such a brilliant master at such a young age.

  At the same time, Enlightenment reminded: "Kill the D-level calamity troll, combat merit +70"

   It is estimated that the space judged the team to kill, and the boy also got some combat achievements.

   But it doesn't matter, dozens of points of military exploits will come out after just swiping.

  His combat achievements have reached "231" points, and he has already met the minimum requirements for going out.

  The boy's sword did save Ji Xun a lot of trouble.

  The juvenile's judgment is very accurate.

   After killing the giant monster, the remaining hundreds of monsters lost their leader and retreated screaming like a tide.

   There was a lot of corpses left.

  There are still three alive.

  Ji Xun, the boy, and the werewolf who was wounded and panting heavily.

oh.

No.

   is four.

  Hearing the sound of the monster fleeing, from a tree hole, the old man Xu with missing front teeth came out in a disheveled manner.

  The thief's small eyes looked around, seeing that there was really no danger, so he dared to crawl out.

  This guy stinks all over his body. I don't know what kind of feces he smeared on him, and he smells sour like cat feces from a long distance away.

  He didn't show any embarrassment, and muttered: "Hey, why did you suddenly meet so many monsters?"

  The boy also walked over and helped his grandfather pat the **** on his body.

   A look of disdain flashed in the werewolf's eyes.

  Ji Xun looked at it but narrowed his eyes slightly.

  He didn't underestimate him at all.

   To be able to survive, this is the real skill.

  It was a good thing to survive the catastrophe.

  But suddenly, the atmosphere became subtle.

  The magic power gathered on the giant monster, and the small horn on the top of its head suddenly lit up with red light.

   This is the "Devil Horn" that only disaster-level demons can produce.

   This is a key item to increase the hidden rewards of customs clearance settlement, and it is also a must-have item for exchanging military exploits for top military supplies rewards.

  The eyes of the four were all attracted to them.

  Ji Xun was not polite, and directly cut off the corner with a knife.

  But with this action, the leader of the black wolf regiment in the distance had other ideas.

  He snarled: "Hello."

   Ji Xun looked up at the guy.

  The man said: "Give me this horn. I will give you one million after you get out."

  Ji Xun didn't want to talk to him at all.

   After packing up, deal with this guy.

   But from the corner of his eye, he went deep into the dense forest, and suddenly thought of something else, and changed his mind: "But I want to keep it for myself."

   As he spoke, he seemed to pretend not to know the identity of this guy, and he didn't see the cruelty hidden in his eyes, and said in a teasing tone: "After all, if you win a special card, you will have nothing to worry about for a few lifetimes."

  “.”

  The man's expression turned cold instantly after listening.

  Before he came in, Mr. Kahn offered a reward of five million devil horns.

   You can also record merit in the guard.

  Whoever gets it will be able to stand up immediately.

   Unexpectedly, there is one in front of my eyes.

  He was definitely unwilling to give up, and directly stated his identity: "I am the guard of the Lionheart family. This devil horn is also what my young master wants. One million is not low."

  One million is indeed not low.

  But if you give it after you go out, it means you didn’t plan to give it at all.

   "tsk"

  Ji Xun listened to the threatening words, and the arc of his sneer under the gas mask was even higher.

   Bringing out the name of that young master Kahn, now everyone in Innocence City is more or less afraid of three points.

  But unfortunately, there is a person in front of him who doesn't like the young master.

   "What if I insist on not wanting to sell?"

  Ji Xun doesn't really want to talk nonsense with this guy.

   But I didn't forget that there was a very powerful archer who shot cold arrows in the dark of the forest.

  Intuition told Ji Xun that the guy might not have left yet.

  And now, that intuition is getting stronger and stronger.

   While speaking, Ji Xun deliberately put his back in front of the tree trunk, avoiding some blind spots.

  Hearing this, the eyes of the Heiwolf group were completely gloomy and cold. Wealth and wealth are right in front of him. He will never give up. The muscles of his newly degenerated werewolf body are beginning to knot again: "What do you mean?"

  He observed this guy's battle just now, the strength is really good, and the agility is also good, but that's all.

   This guy doesn't even have basic fighting skills.

   The ability to kill that D-level calamity was purely because the giant was too clumsy.

  Ji Xun didn't explain any new and old hatreds, this guy is still alive, just because he still has a little value.

  He said meaningfully: "It means that you may die."

  Before he finished speaking, he deliberately raised the axe, as if he was about to strike diagonally from left to right.

  The man from the Black Wolf Group sneered in his heart, that's it?

  He instinctively made an evasive movement.

  However, before the ax fell, it was just when he made the backward movement.

  The murderous intent has come quietly.

  Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air came.

  An arrow was shining with rune luster, and the pitch-black feathered arrow lingering with black spiral energy accurately pierced through the wolf's head.

   The speed of the feather arrow was so fast that blood burst out as soon as people saw the cold light.

  The expression on the face of this guy from the Black Wolf Group froze for an instant, and he didn't even think to understand where the arrow came from.

  Ji Xun didn't even take a second look at the corpse, but quickly glanced at the direction the arrow came from, "Did he really leave?"

   I said so much just now, just to try to see if there is a bait, and whether the archer can't help but attack an enemy who has exposed a big flaw.

   I didn't expect to try it.

   "A long-distance shooting of 400 meters is very powerful. This arrow also has a way."

  Ji Xun saw more information this time.

  He looked at this black iron quality [Devil-breaking Spiral Arrow] again, and judged what: a first-order C-level disaster, a silver-quality bow.

   These are all mobile exploits.

  Ji found the killing intent, and quickly put away the devil horns on the monster's corpse.

   There is also a piece of black iron material [giant's eyeball] from the giant demon's body.

   Calamity’s corpses are rare, and he didn’t want to waste them, so he took out the storage card and put away the whole corpse.

  Ji Xun was wearing heavy armor, so he wasn't afraid of sneak attacks by archers.

  He stood up and turned his head to look at the other two live victims.

  The old man with missing front teeth in the distance shrank his neck from this look, and quickly pulled the young man beside him to hide behind the tree trunk.

  Ji Xun said without a trace: "You have a share in killing this D-level disaster, but I will accept the devil horn. In exchange, you don't have to go to the beacon tower, I will go to ignite it."

   After igniting, the teammates who are still alive can also share the battle merit.

Hearing this, the old man Xu was flattered and said repeatedly: "No, no, master, you are joking, you can take this corner, we have no objections at all. Without this brat's meddling, you can easily kill that monster. "

  “.”

   Ji Xun glanced at the two of them.

   I don't know if he is flattering or if he really sees something.

  But to be able to live, there must be some real skills.

  Boys are not weak either.

  But if there is another one, the two of them may not be able to survive.

  I didn't reveal any means, and Ji Xun didn't bother to waste time explaining.

   Those ordinary hunters don’t have anything of value on them, so keeping a little of it can be regarded as a dividend for the final blow of disaster.

   After simply packing up the loot, he turned around and entered the forest alone.

  Ji Xun went away.

  Old man Xu also exhaled a long breath, "Oh, that guy finally left. That murderous look, if I dared to say no to the old man just now, I am afraid that today we will have to confess here."

  The young man looked at the old man's genuinely unafraid expression, pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa~ Although that man is powerful, he shouldn't be too far."

After thinking about it, he stated what he observed in a straight-forward manner, "That man's fighting skills are still very unfamiliar, and he is only at the level of 'intermediate fighting'. This strength is stronger than any guard in the Lionheart family. It's just that It's just a little more agile than the average black knight."

  Old man Xu listened, and chuckled: "The werewolf dared to buy it by force before, and he thought so too. Do you think he is like this now?"

   "But, this is not him."

  The boy wanted to say that the man didn't kill him.

  But recalling the scene of the arrow hitting the head, the more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.

Before the young man could figure it out, the old man continued: "Cruel places like Innocence City are not bonanzas. There are no flamboyant young masters and ladies who rely on skill cards to pile up. You can't live without real skills. Intermediate fighting only It can explain one thing. The time for that person to enter the rank is too short, and he has not come to the rank to make his martial arts and body fit. He was deliberately practicing with monsters just now. That is to say, he can advance to a formal spell card master, definitely not Relying on mid-level fighting, but hiding the real means. Even the black knight professional sequence is just a disguise."

"ah?"

  The teenager didn't know what to do.

   Didn't want to understand, he was puzzled again: "But how did that person know that the demon archer hid in the forest and didn't leave? He also concluded that he would definitely shoot?"

   "Do you really think that people are really stupid, what are you trying to force Lai Lai to do?"

The old man asked a question, and answered by himself: "That man didn't intend to sell the devil's horn at all. He went there with murderous intentions from the beginning to the end. If the werewolf opened his mouth, he would die. The value of living a moment longer , just as bait."

   While tidying up the dead bodies on the ground, he added: "I disdain to be with Xiaoxiao, but I can't restrain the restless killing intent in my heart. A very contradictory person. I don't understand it."

  Hearing this, the boy blinked and asked curiously, "Grandpa, can you beat him?"

  Old man Xu spat, with an expression of not wanting to cause trouble for the old man: "Bah, with your grandfather's lame means, it's good to save your life, and you still expect to be in the limelight?"

   As he spoke, he said again: "Clean up and get ready to go."

  Youth: "But you don't have 100 points yet."

The old man Xu had a wretched smile on his face: "It's on the battle merit card of the corpse. They saw that you made up the sword with a superfluous move, and they didn't hesitate to give us some rewards. It's already very kind. Oh, of course, it's also possible I have to be busy chasing that demon archer, and I don’t have time to pick up junk. Anyway, these corpses are cheaper for us.”

  Compared with the corpse, the boy obviously cared more about other things: "Ah, did that person go after the archer?"

  The old man disapproved: "Otherwise? Why don't you spend so much effort to lure the archer out to shoot an arrow just to chase the archer?"

Hearing this, the young man fully understood, and said in amazement, "Can he catch up? I mean, it may be a half-blooded dark elf, a natural hunter, and it is impossible to be caught in this environment. Even if it is an agility system The card master is not good either."

  The old man shook his head: "That's why I said that you are still far away from others. If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it."

   "Grandpa, how do you know? Did you see what he has?"

   "It's because he didn't see it, that person left so simply. Otherwise, if we really got a glimpse of some secrets, we might be murdered."

   "I feel that person will not."

   "You know a fart, kid."

  “.”

"I think there is a high probability that he came for the young master of the Lionheart family. Forget it, it doesn't matter what he came to this different-dimensional space for, it has nothing to do with us. I used the secret method to ask the demon's corpse before. , I don’t have what I’m looking for. Let’s go, there’s no point in staying in this space anymore.”

   "Ah, but I still want to see the war mode."

   "Show your size! Isn't it good to live? You kid, don't show off like this next time. I have told you many times that you have to keep a low profile in order to live a long time."

  “.”

  The grandfather and grandson restrained the corpse, bickered all the way, and ran all the way back towards the fortress Youzai Youzai.
