Chapter 402: Encirclement and Killing

"Ah, it's too late. I've never missed the daily morning patrol."

Katerina lifted the quilt and looked at the clock on the wall. A little panic flashed across her pretty face.

She glanced at Ji Xun under her and asked with a smile: "Would you like to rest for a while? I have to go out."

The young lady of the Lionheart family is probably used to being in a high position, and she took the initiative last night.

This posture is ambiguous and intimate.

Ji Xun didn't think anything of it, but was happy to enjoy this happy time lying flat.

He didn't have the habit of sleeping late, so he sat up and just held Katarina's elastic buttocks with one hand, saying: "No. I'm almost up too."

Katerina also felt that this intimate posture was very comfortable. She sensed something and teased: "You're in good spirits~ It seems that the secret medicine wine is really effective."

Ji Xun smiled.

His palms gently stroked the soft skin, from the buttocks up, holding the smooth waist, and then to the smooth back. He unconsciously played with the pair of little jade lions, and couldn't help but praise: "Miss Carter is also great."

It must be said that this young lady from the Lionheart family is a perfect pleasure partner, both emotional value and figure are impeccable.

This feeling is always mutual.

For Catalina, Ji Xun also gave her a wonderful feeling.

After pleasure, some thoughts can be expressed very directly.

This intimate action aroused the warm atmosphere that had just subsided.

Of course, Catalina understood immediately, with a hint of charm between her eyebrows, and said with regret: "Ah, but I can't delay any longer. I have to get up."

She stood up and said: "I have a lot of work to deal with during the day, so I may be busy. I will come to see you later. You can rest at the base these days. I said I will treat you well~"

Ji Xun certainly didn't want to be happy, and nodded: "Yes."

Catalina stood up and pulled the bell at the head of the bed.

The next second, the door opened from the outside.

The four personal maids I had seen before walked into the room carefully.

They were all maids trained by the Lionheart family since childhood, and they had long been accustomed to the process of serving their young lady to get up.

Catalina went to the bathroom naked, and the two maids followed her as usual.

Two other maids walked to the bed. Although they had been trained by the old nanny in the family, they also knew that they would serve the male master after their young lady got married in the future.

But after all, this is the first time, so there is always some shame.

With her head down, her cheeks slightly red, she dared not look directly at Ji Xun on the bed.

After tidying up the scattered clothes around, they saw Ji Xun getting up, and took the initiative to come up, handed over the pajamas that had been prepared long ago, and stretched out their hands to help him put them on: "Mr. Ji Xun, I will help you."

Ji Xun didn't feel awkward with his bare bottom, but he was just not used to being served.

He took the clothes and put them on himself, saying: "No, I can do it myself. Thank you."

Of course, he also knew that Catalina deliberately did not avoid letting the maids serve.

What happened at the banquet last night was going to add fuel to the fire, and these maids would also spread the situation truthfully.

In this way, Catalina also directly expressed her attitude, and there would be fewer trivial matters in the future regarding the marriage.

There is also General Lagong. Seeing that the marriage will not be successful, it is likely that he will make preparations in advance.

Ji Xun is also happy to see this.

Catalina went out for an early patrol.

There are maids who deliver food to the room, so there is no need to go out by yourself.

Ji Xun stayed in the suite and didn't plan to go to the mechanical city to make himself uncomfortable.

He had no interest in the kind of interpersonal relationships that were full of intrigue, and he also guessed that the news of staying overnight at Catalina's place last night would definitely cause a huge reaction in the alliance army.

Some people would come to win over the people around him, the commander of the alliance, and there would also be rivals like Mick who would come to cause trouble.

Instead of going out and wasting his precious time, it would be better to study in the house.

After breakfast, Ji Xun started his daily practice and study as usual.

Probably because of the dragon root wine, he was still energetic after a night of tossing.

Various classics were placed on the desk, and while he was clearly feeling the insights, he efficiently read and studied those classics with the ability of "multitasking".

Time passed by unnoticed.

As she said, Catalina was busy until the evening, and only then did she take time to have dinner with Ji Xun.

But fortunately, it was after ten o'clock, which was the time for the two of them to be alone.

No one disturbed them.

The relationship between the two did not change much because of the joy. They were still like close allies, talking about the war and life.

It was just that after becoming close, they could get along more unscrupulously.

That feeling of ease and joy was more valuable to them than joy.

And no one guaranteed that they would be able to meet alive next time.

Both of them cherished and enjoyed this rare experience.

Although Katarina was busy with work every day as the commander of the Allied Forces, she also practiced very hard.

She knew very well that without absolute strength support, it would never be possible to stand firm in the world of card masters.

Just like the ambitious General Ragon who had just entered the seventh level.

Ji Xun was one level higher than Katarina, and his cognition in the field of extraordinary knowledge was much stronger than that of the average sixth level.

When the two were together, in addition to enjoying the joy, they also practiced together.

They complemented each other a lot.

I have to mention one more thing.

Facts have proved that the medicinal effect of dragon root wine does not last for a day or two, but lasts for a long time.

It even has the effect of permanently increasing certain abilities.

Time flew by unconsciously, and it was five days in a flash.

This day.

early morning.

Ji Xun and Catalina both have the habit of getting up early.

In the cloakroom, Ji Xun changed into travel clothes.

After staying in Mechanical City for a few days, he is leaving today.

There was no maid around, so Catalina helped arrange his clothes herself.

While sorting it out carefully, she smiled and said, "Are you leaving today? How about staying a few more days?"

The tone was light and there was no sadness about separation.

Inviting him to stay is more of a sincere greeting between friends.

Catalina did not change her clothes, she was still wearing the white shirt she wore when sleeping.

The loose clothes could not completely hide her graceful figure. In the mirror, her slender legs glowed whiter than her shirt under the light.

The shirt is completely empty, and the alluring spring color is faintly visible.

Ji Xun conveniently hugged Catalina, who was arranging his collar in front of him, reached under the shirt, took a large piece of delicate soft meat, and said: "It's almost time. There is news from the Dragon Rebel Army that the Southern Continent I also discovered the Lost Imperial Capital, Behemoth, and I plan to lurk there to see what’s going on.”

As he spoke, looking into each other's eyes, he added another sentence: "Once the news of the lost imperial capital spreads, a large number of hunter teams will be needed immediately. This is a big opportunity."

Some things can only be said face to face.

The main reason why he came in person this time was to discuss this plan.

Catalina also enjoyed this intimate behavior and nodded seriously: "Yes. I will be ready."

As she said that, she thought of something again and said: "As you expected, General Lagon has indeed taken action in the past few days. They found excuses to loan out some experts in the base. So, you have to leave today, There will be no one here at the base to escort you out."

After all, it was a matter of life and death, and she spoke in a serious tone when talking about this topic.

As Ji Xun expected, General Lagon's group was really murderous.

These small actions are proof enough.

Not only against him, an outsider, but also a vague threat to Catalina, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.

Hearing this, Ji Xun only had a disinterested smile on his face and said, "Yeah. A small problem."

This was what he originally planned.

In the past few days, he has obtained a large amount of accurate information from Catalina. With this information as the basis for deduction, it can be said that the conspiracy hidden in the dark and the upcoming interception have nothing to do with him in his eyes. "Accident" can be said.

"."

Catalina looked at his indifferent expression and wanted to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, she swallowed it.

She was not worried about Ji Xun's ability.

In the past few days, when we were getting together closely and chatting about things, she had already experienced the horror of "I am the world."

This is the exclusive magical secret of the leader of the "Thirteen Kamen Riders" who was once recognized as unsolvable by countless masters in the Eastern Wasteland.

Facts have proved that before Ji Xun knew what was going on, she had already deduced the situation that she could only deduce today by using a large number of intelligence lines to obtain information.

With that kind of magical deduction ability, as long as she didn't seek death, it was hard for Catalina to imagine that Ji Xun would be in danger.

However, that's what she was worried about.

Just because he was very familiar with Ji Xun.

She knew very well that this guy often had some crazy thoughts.

Just like Xia Mucheng's adventure in the past, when he encountered a strange time regression, he had obviously found the solution, but he still arrogantly chose to start over.

For this reason, he even received a knife blow to his chest and almost died.

Catalina raised her eyebrows. She didn't know why some past events kept popping up in her mind from time to time in the past few days.

The gambling fight in Hong Lou, the adventure in Xia Mucheng, and the banquet in Lion City left a deep impression every time.

I want to laugh and find it interesting.

She didn't want to interfere with Ji Xun's decision. She hesitated for a moment and only said softly: "Yeah. Be careful then."

"Um."

When Ji Xun heard this, he looked at himself in the mirror and smiled, showing his neat white teeth.

The sense of crisis has always been the colorful color of life for him.

Not long after, the two walked out of the Machinery City.

"I won't send you off. Next time you come, remember it's your turn to treat me to a drink."

"good."

Catalina stood at the door of the Mechanical City. As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, she could not send him too far.

Ji Xun didn't care either.

After the two waved goodbye, Ji Xun turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Catalina looked at the back of her old friend leaving, sighed slightly, and turned back to the Machine City.

Now the entire alliance army knows about his relationship with Ji Xun, and too many people are paying attention to this farewell.

Catalina bid farewell to Ji Xun and patrolled the Machinery City as usual.

As she was walking, someone suddenly spoke in her shadow: "Miss, according to your estimated location, it will take us at least twenty minutes to get there at full speed. If something unexpected happens, we may not be able to make it in time. The shadow guard really doesn't want it. Follow me?"

If a seventh-level person wants to kill someone, twenty minutes is enough to kill him many times.

Catalina said calmly: "No need. If you follow up and are discovered by the other side, the plan will fall apart."

The shadow said again: "But just in case"

As a shadow guard who protects Catalina, she knows many secrets that outsiders don't know.

"No one can escape this."

Catalina shook her head, as if she was talking to herself.

Whether as a friend or as the commander of the Allied Forces, she would never let General Ragon and his people succeed in their conspiracy.

Catalina knew that Ji Xun's plan would never escape this. She added, "He has already discovered you. Besides, do you think he doesn't know that I will arrange for someone to go there? The place I chose doesn't want to be disturbed. Moreover, it also creates an irresistible "good opportunity" for those conspirators."

The shadow was surprised when he heard it, "I was discovered?"

"Yes."

Catalina didn't know what she thought of, and smiled inexplicably, "Although he didn't say it, he must know it."

The Lionheart family was once the first warlord of the Federation. They were able to stand on equal footing with the five major senators. How could they not have their own foundation?

Their family has always cultivated their own secret guards.

After Catalina took power, she paid more attention to this.

What others don't know is that the newly promoted seventh-level soldiers in the alliance army are not just the ones in the open, but there are two other secret guards under Katarina who have never shown their faces.

You have to know that the advanced materials traded by the rebel dragon army were handled by her alone, so how could she not keep some back-up?

Those materials that are highly compatible with the secret guards are the priority for trading.

So even if Lagong really wants to seize power by force, Katarina actually has enough strength to deal with it.

It's just that she hasn't found a suitable reason.

The complicated family alliance is not so easy to move.

Those old guys who play tricks, don't give them the opportunity to show their fox tails, they won't give people the opportunity to beat them.

When Katarina thought of this, a fierce look appeared in her crystal eyes: "Act according to the original plan. When you find the actions of the people over there, rush over as soon as possible. Inform the special service team, once Lagong dies in battle, immediately settle accounts!"

Shadow Guard: "Yes!"

However, as soon as Ji Xun left the base, several people who had been waiting for a long time in a hidden stronghold also received the news.

"There's news that someone has left the base."

"How many people?"

"One."

"One? Are you sure?"

"Yes. We've transferred all the masters in the base these days, and the other permanent ones won't leave. And the informant has confirmed that Catalina listened to that kid and didn't arrange for anyone to escort."

"Hehe, it's just like what the intelligence said, extremely conceited, and likes to take risks. No wonder he dared to kill the Governor of Innocence City when he was at the first level. He probably thought he had some ability and didn't need an escort. What's the route?"

"He should be going in the direction of the 'Fluorescent Forest'. This route was mapped by scouts before. It's very remote and has a huge plain, which is very suitable for ambush. A little further away is the complex dark river area. If we really want to do it there, I'm afraid there will be accidents."

"Let's go!"

"."

These people are none other than General Ragon and a few confidants.

After all, they are senior military officials, and they also suspected that there was something wrong with this operation.

However, after analyzing the current intelligence, they couldn't find any problems.

No matter how you deduce, everything always feels "normal".

Whether analyzing the target's behavior and personality, or analyzing environmental factors, it seems that the other party will definitely make the current choice.

It is because it is too normal that people are confused.

There are only two possibilities in this situation.

Either the other party's layout ability is far higher than their level, so that there is no flaw at all;

Another situation is that the facts are really as they see, and the other party is not aware of the danger at all.

Intuition General Lagong himself cannot be careless.

But his strength tells him, what accidents can happen?

The strong have an inexplicable arrogance in their own strength.

Lagong feels that his seventh-level strength is enough to solve all accidents.

In order to be on the safe side, he decided to do it himself.

Moreover, Ji Xun gave the other party an opportunity that he could not consider more.

Once he leaves the "Fluorescent Forest", there will be no such good opportunity to intercept and kill him.

Thinking of this, Lagong and his men did not hesitate at all.

No one can stay!

So, they chased him as soon as possible.

Ji Xun sneaked in the dark all the way.

The area where the Alliance Army Headquarters is located is a no-man's land.

Not to mention people, even magic beasts and monsters are rare.

The road that Ji Xun chose was a remote path to the north. Along the way, except for the sound of breathing and breaking wind, the surroundings were terribly quiet.

However, choosing this road is safer because there are fewer monsters.

Not long after, Ji Xun saw some luminous plants appearing on the roadside around him.

Soon when he rushed out of a cave, his vision suddenly became clear.

An endless fluorescent forest appeared in his vision.

This is very common in the cave world, but it is the first time that Ji Xun has seen such a large forest.

"It's so beautiful."

Ji Xun looked at the forest in front of him, and was also refreshed by the beautiful scenery.

The extraordinary world also has some unique natural landscapes that he has never seen in his previous life.

However, looking at this large plain, a hint of danger also overflowed in his eyes: "It's a good place to be buried."

Whether he dies here or the enemy dies here, it's pretty good.

In the vast plains, it is difficult to escape once the enemy has set his sights on you.

But the same is true for Ji Xun.

If it were any other complex terrain, if the enemy escaped, it would be a big problem even if he didn't kill the snake.

This was the place he chose for the enemy.

With a flash of thought, Ji Xun rushed into the forest.

Because it was an unfamiliar environment, he showed due vigilance and walked slowly.

As he walked, he deliberately cleaned up the traces he left behind.

There were only some small monsters in the forest that were not very threatening, and their instincts to crisis were much stronger than humans. Perhaps they sensed that humans walking alone in the forest were not easy to mess with, and no blind monsters came out.

Ji Xun was safe all the way.

However, not long after, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in the forest.

Ji Xun was not surprised at all, he just raised his eyebrows and murmured: "Is there a magic mark on the clothes? Tsk tsk, are there people who have been bribed around Katarina?"

There are not many people who can mark on clothes.

This operation was just right for Katarina to clean up the miscellaneous people around her.

Ji Xun didn't think much about it and looked back at the direction of the wind.

Hearing the wind meant that the other party was very close.

Almost in the blink of an eye, five figures had quickly approached, forming a siege, surrounding the forest.

If there were four or five level sevens at a time like in the previous Extreme Thief City, Ji Xun would of course turn around and run away.

However, the Alliance Army does not have such a luxurious pursuit lineup.

Sensing the aura, they are all familiar.

One level seven, two level six, and two level five.

As for the identity, before Ji Xun could figure it out, the other party had already revealed his face.

The guy leading the way was General Ragon whom he had met before.

Two level six.

They were the Colonel of the Red Lion Legion, "Hercules" Barrett of the [Black Knight] sequence.

The other one was the Major General, "Ruthless Iron Hand" Varys of the level six professional branch of [Spade 6-Punishment Iron Guard].

These two were once famous military masters of the Federation.

Ji Xun had seen them in newspapers more than once.

The other two fifth-level masters, one was the familiar rival, Mr. Mick.

The other one seemed to be the perception card master who was tracking him.

Although he didn't know them, this level was no longer a threat.

When he discussed tactics with Catalina before, he had seen the detailed information of almost all the masters in the Lagong camp, and these people were of course among them.

There were no strange ability users, and Ji Xun's eyes were completely calm.

General Lagong and his five men caught up with him, and saw that Ji Xun did not run away or show any panic, and they were slightly surprised.

Originally, they wanted to kill him as soon as possible and make a quick decision.

But Kan and Ji Xun's indifferent eyes made the five people hesitate.

Both sides knew that they would meet here.

But Ji Xun asked as if he didn't know: "General Lagong, what do you mean?"

The higher the level of the card master, the more uneasy this strange atmosphere felt.

Lagong looked solemn, his eyes locked on Ji Xun, and his peripheral vision occasionally glanced around, as if to see if there were any traps.

The other two sixth-level players also showed the caution that they should have at their level.

In their opinion, the target must have something to rely on to face the impending death situation so calmly.

Ji Xun looked at the nervous looks of the few people, laughed awkwardly, and complained "boring".

Lay traps in advance?

There is no need.

He just needs to know his route and there are no traps set by the enemy.

Turning his head, he looked at the furious Mick and said, "Hey, Mick, I refused your duel last time, do you want to make up for it?"

Hearing this, Mick on the opposite side felt that he had guessed the other party's thoughts, and sneered, "Do you want to delay time and wait for someone to rescue you?"

Lagong and the others had the same idea after they did not find the ambush.

But for these veterans of the battlefield, they would not be stupid enough to give the enemy such a delay opportunity.

After waiting for a while, Chunchun was curious about where this guy got the confidence from.

Ji Xun shook his head, completely different from the anger of Mick on the opposite side. He said calmly: "No, no, no. Your Excellency misunderstood me. I just enjoy this process."

Some things cannot come violently at once, and you have to enjoy the gradual process slowly.

Only in this way can the pleasant experience reach the extreme.

As he said, Ji Xun suddenly became interested and asked again: "Major General Mick, since your Excellency is here, are you interested in fighting with me?"

Mick listened to this face-to-face humiliation. Although he suspected that the other party was delaying time, he could not refuse at all.

Knowing that Ji Xun had stayed in Catalina's room for a full five days, he had been jealous for a long time.

Now that he intercepted this man, of course he wanted to kill him first and then quickly.

He agreed at once: "Okay! I want to see what you can do!"

Lagong on the side frowned and wanted to kill quickly, but he hesitated.

Thinking that delaying for a while would not change anything.

However, the unexpected change in the next second made him change color instantly, and he said anxiously in his heart: "Not good!"

No one dared to think that the unexpected change would come so suddenly.

Ji Xun listened to Mick's agreement, and the next moment, the harmless smile on his face suddenly changed, and suddenly a murderous aura surged to the sky!

With a loud bang, the person in the distance disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, Mick saw the man appear in front of him.

At this moment, the murderous aura was overwhelming like a tide, and the feeling of death was as real as a substance.

I'm going to die!

The feeling of the huge fear of death sweeping over his body shocked him on the spot and made him unable to move at all.

Only then did Mick realize how ridiculous his pride was!

It turned out that if this guy didn't agree to the duel request one day, it really meant that the other party never took him seriously!
