Chapter 421 The Light Chaser From Three Thousand Years Ago
"Kill the rebel scout, merit +1"
"Kill the rebel elite signalman, merit +4"
"Kill the rebel scout leader, merit +10"
"."
Ji Xun didn't know the enemy's situation, so he had to choose a quick battle.
However, after a few breaths, eight bodies were lying in a pool of blood.
Ji Xun killed four, and Nan Jing and Chu Jiu dealt with two each.
It must be said that it was only because they encountered this team. Otherwise, the means of this team of elite scouts just now would be enough to make ordinary small mercenary groups die on the spot.
Ji Xun looked at the corpses, and then looked at the merits obtained by killing, and roughly assessed the strength of the enemy faced in this mission.
A third-level card master only has one merit for him. If he wants to collect 10,000 points, he theoretically needs to kill 10,000?
Ji Xun sighed: "These card masters who have experienced war are really strong in combat."
Chu Jiu also nodded: "Yeah."
Although the three people were easily dealt with just now, it was because the means of the three people were very strong.
But you have to know that this is just an ordinary reconnaissance team.
But the combat effectiveness, combat experience, and willpower they just showed are definitely not comparable to the card masters of the same level three thousand years later.
After killing someone, they still need the necessary information.
Nan Jing took out the spiritual scroll and was searching the soul of a corpse.
This ball-headed lady is the high priest, and of course she is also proficient in the secret art of searching souls.
One after another, the mantras like the chanting of Sanskrit came out of her mouth, and the mysterious underworld texts lit up on the spiritual scroll.
Nan Jing also got some intelligence in a blink of an eye, and said with a serious look: "This team is the fifth legion of the rebels. Their legion's base camp is eight kilometers northwest. However, we don't need to look for them. If we kill these people, we have been discovered."
As soon as the voice fell, Qi Di also appeared: "C-level mission triggered: You and your partner's ambush and killing of rebel scouts has been exposed. The rebel reconnaissance general "Shadow Blade Harold" has led experts to surround and kill. You need to survive."
"Hehe."
Ji Xun looked at Qi Di and laughed at himself.
This space will really didn't give people a chance to breathe. They were attacked as soon as they came in, and they were chased after them.
But the war mode is to fight and kill, and the three of them have been mentally prepared.
They didn't plan to stay there for long.
A rebel general is not a big problem. C-level difficulty, it is estimated that "Shadow Blade Harold" is at most level seven.
What they are afraid of is to trigger the real top combat power of the rebels.
The three were about to leave, but Ji Xun discovered something and asked in surprise: "Hey, where is Senior Xu?"
I thought that the old senior was hiding somewhere again.
But it was unusual that he hadn't shown up yet.
And he didn't sense any living people nearby.
At this time, Chujiu thought of something and said: "I didn't see anyone when I came in just now. He shouldn't be with us."
Nan Jing also shrugged, indicating that he didn't see it, and guessed: "Could it be that he was not in the same place as us after entering the space?"
The two women didn't fully understand the specialness of Old Man Xu, nor did they know why Ji Xun cared so much.
When Ji Xun heard what they said, his brows immediately frowned.
Because he thought of a similar experience he had once.
That time in Xia Mucheng, in the secret realm that could go back in time, Old Man Xu disappeared "inexplicably".
But later I learned that it was because time went back, everyone returned to a certain time node, only Old Man Xu didn't, so he disappeared.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's first reaction was this.
But after asking Chujiu and Nanjing, the two women found nothing unusual.
Now that Old Man Xu is gone, no one can tell what happened.
Ji Xun could only say: "Be careful, pay attention to the changes in time and space. There is something strange in this different dimension."
The three of them shuttled through the dense forest at a high speed, and soon they found that they were caught up.
There were soaring eagles in the sky, and some scouting ghosts were floating in the dense forest.
They were locked by various means.
The war lasted for decades at the end of Talen. It must be admitted that these rebels who could survive the final decisive battle should not be underestimated in terms of experience or strength.
And there are many high-level card masters.
Even though Ji Xun and the other two had extraordinary means, they felt a strong pressure from the pursuers.
Nanjing also confirmed that there was at least one seventh-level, three sixth-level, and more than a dozen elites who could keep up with their speed behind them.
Obviously, the opponent judged that the three were very strong by the time they killed the team just now.
So they started with the corresponding pursuit force.
If it were somewhere else, the three of them would have a good chance of killing these pursuers together.
However, they didn't dare to take action before they figured out the situation.
If they really killed the seventh-level, the next one to come after them might be the eighth-level.
This was a wrong way to break the deadlock.
The three of them rushed through the forest, and the sun poured into the forest from time to time, adding a bit of spring sunshine to the urgent pursuit.
While running, Ji Xun kept thinking in his mind, "Xiao Nan, how are you doing?"
Nan Jing was still searching the soul, 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 method that this ball-headed lady learned from the [Book of the Dead].
This secret method can efficiently and accurately search the soul to obtain information.
"Three minutes?"
Ji Xun felt the sound of breaking through the air behind him and frowned.
If he really keeps running like this, he will definitely be caught up in three minutes.
However, although the "Shadow Blade Harold" behind him is fast, he doesn't remember being faster than Ji Xun.
Thinking of this, he jumped up and hugged Nan Jing's waist a few meters away.
When the ball-headed girl cried out "ah", he saw that Ji Xun had teleported and hugged Chujiu not far away.
The two girls were stunned by this move at first.
But then they understood something.
With one hand holding a little friend, Ji Xun's speed did not slow down, but suddenly increased several times.
For the first time, Ji Xun ran at full speed in front of the two people, like a gust of wind, quickly shuttling through the forest.
Walking in the air all the way, the speed is already very fast.
With the already skilled gravity and repulsion, it was like two invisible big hands, pulling and pulling, and only a residual image was left when he almost reached the woods.
Another thing is that they are already proficient in walking in the void. When they encounter obstacles occasionally, they don't need to avoid them at all, just go through them directly.
Nan Jing did not disappoint them. She searched the soul first to get the defense situation nearby.
With her guidance, the three of them perfectly avoided the nearby trap area and got rid of the dilemma of being surrounded in the first place.
In this way, after the three of them crossed another hill, they actually forcibly shook off the pursuers!
In the depths of a covered dense forest, three figures stopped.
The swift eagle above their heads could no longer be seen. After sensing the surroundings, they did not find any pursuers coming.
Qi Di also appeared at this time: "C-level mission completed. You and your partner have escaped the siege of the rebels. Get +1000 combat merits, *1 plot point"
It stands to reason that the mission must kill the pursuers to maximize the benefits. Now that they have escaped, they have only received a small reward.
However, it is just a C-level mission, which is not very attractive to Ji Xun and the other two.
Seeing Qi Di, 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 even got rid of the seventh-level assassin?"
After stopping, Chu Jiu also looked at Ji Xun in surprise. Although he didn't say anything, he was also surprised by the change of this old friend.
Just the evacuation speed just now really made her feel incredible.
Ji Xun smiled and explained: "It's just using gravity and repulsion."
He didn't say much on this topic, but asked: "Xiao Nan, what's the intelligence?"
Nan Jing's soul search was almost done, and he took out a piece of white paper and drew a simple map, saying: "Our current location is the 'Luolin Mountains' west of the imperial city. There are human rebels here. The leader of the rebels is the "King of Gladiators" Brulos. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the personification of the 'Lord of War, Monliod', or the descended body. The rebels have a total of 16 large legions, with a number of over a million."
"To the south is the insect army of the 'Mysterious Worm Mother·Karakta'"
"To the north is the corrupt plague zombie army of the 'Source of Corruption·Nesser'"
"To the east is the millions of orcs of the 'Beast Blood Boiling·Mutu'."
As he spoke, Nan Jing marked them all on the map.
However, the soul search was only done by a small captain, so he didn't know much.
Ji Xun and Chu Jiu listened carefully.
The three of them had studied the direction of exploration before they came in.
Nan Jing also knew what information they needed, and continued: "The Imperial City is 80 kilometers northeast of us. But now it is surrounded and it is almost impossible to get in. There are some rumors among these rebels, saying that there may be secret passages leading to the Imperial City in some places in the suburbs."
Ji Xun's eyes were stern: "Secret passage? "
Although history has proven that the Taren Dynasty was finally destroyed in this battle.
But at present, it seems that as long as it is not the final moment of breaking the city, the imperial capital Behemoth will be the safest place.
The direction of the three people's exploration before was to enter the imperial capital as much as possible.
Because only after entering the city, the identity advantages of Chujiu and Nanjing will be maximized.
They may get some unexpected gains.
Nanjing nodded: "Yeah. Legend has it that it is probably in this area-Gosya Volcano. It is not too far from us."
Ji Xun looked at that location, and then recalled the fire resistance equipment of the mercenaries in the camp before, and analyzed: "The Holy See's large forces are active near this volcano. They should have discovered this secret passage, or related clues."
Nanjing: "Are we going there now?"
At present, it is only a C-level main task, and 10,000 points are not difficult for three people.
Digging out hidden plots is the key.
Of course, you have to find a way to get into the imperial city. There are top NPCs gathered there, and there must be a lot of hidden plots to dig out.
"Yeah. "
Ji Xun nodded, thinking: "But we have to think of other channels. If I were the new king of Orlan, I would go in as soon as I knew the secret passage was found. Then I would stop others from going in. So the secret passage may not be so safe. If the secret passage has not been found, it will be difficult for the three of us to find it in a short time. So if we want to go to the imperial city as soon as possible, I'm afraid we have to find another way. "
"Yeah. "
The three of them are very familiar friends. Chujiu and Nanjing also know Ji Xun's excellent decryption ability and listen quietly.
Soon, Ji Xun came up with 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 extradimensional 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.
Entering the imperial city, the two women could understand. 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 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 said worriedly: "But Ji Xun, wouldn't that be too dangerous?"
Judging from the current difficulty of the plot, there are many masters in the rebel army, 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 Mutu's Boiling Beast Blood was blood 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.
As long as bloodline pollution has the same ability to transform into beasts, they are "the same kind".
Ji Xun, on the other hand, does not have faith in the old gods, but he does have animal blood.
As long as you don't show off in front of top-level experts, the probability of being discovered is very low.
When Nan Jing and Chu Jiu 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 headed 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.”
In a blink of an eye, another two days passed.
Ji Xun, Chujiu and Nan Jing killed several investigation teams together and obtained a lot of information.
Those in the Southern Continent were not idle either, raising 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.
Fortunately, Ji Xun and the other three were not weak in strength, and there were no dangers.
This day.
In a dense forest.
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.
Another one 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 seriously: "About five kilometers further east, there is a stronghold of the orc army. The leader of the army is the seventh-level werewolf Morchroms. He is a reckless man and not very intelligent."
This was the third Orc Legion stronghold they encountered, and it was also the most suitable one.
Now we have all the information and alternative identities we need.
Ji Xun nodded and killed the werewolf he was interrogating.
The clown mask flashed with inspiration, and his whole body instantly transformed into the appearance of a corpse on the ground.
His acting ability is now very proficient, and he can imitate 90% of it with just a few words.
Chujiu 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."
All the tactics had been discussed in the past few days, and without saying much, he turned around and sneaked towards the depths of the forest.
Ji Xun already has 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.
Moreover, after observing in the past few days, Ji Xun has also determined that people polluted by the external god "Beast-Blooded Mutu" will be very strong physically, but their intelligence will not be that high accordingly.
These preparations were enough to make his identity flawless.
Not long after, a group of wounded men returned to the camp.
Enlightenment tip: "You discovered the 'Black Mountain Orc Camp', plot exploration +0.1%, personal exploration +15%"
There are nearly thirty thousand orcs stationed here.
In a camp full of stinky feces, Ji Xun quickly became familiar with the environment.
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.
If that doesn't work, you can still complete the main mission by contacting Chujiu and Nanjing Liyingwai to push the orc camp forward.
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 Worm Queen Karakta' used divine magic to trigger the space rift near the imperial city. In order to prevent the space from shattering, the high priest of the Talun Empire, Nan Shenyu, used the artifact [Wheel of Space]. However, because there were defectors in the human empire, the energy 'Space Source Stone' that drove the artifact was taken away. You need to find the space stone taken away by the defector."
"A-level mission triggered?"
Lying on the hospital bed, Ji Xun suddenly realized that there was a problem with the main plot line.
The difficulty of A-level in this space is roughly equivalent to S-level in other spaces.
But fortunately it is "optional" rather than mandatory.
And the difficulty of the different-dimensional space will not increase inexplicably. The only explanation is that there are foreign adventurers who have triggered some hidden plot.
"Has someone already gone to the imperial capital?"
After Ji Xun deduced, he felt that this was most likely the case.
The plot was triggered, and it was most likely that the relevant NPC was contacted.
The queen worm adventurer could not have contacted. No, the people of the Orlan royal family might have a chance.
But it is more likely that someone has contacted the High Priest of Taren, Nan Shenyu.
"Hehe, could it be that the new King of Orlan really came in person?"
Ji Xun figured out something, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had deduced the truth.
In this super-large extra-dimensional space, in order to contact the High Priest of Taren so quickly, in addition to entering the secret passage of the imperial city, he must have a special identity.
The most likely one is the bloodline of Augustus.
Ji Xun looked at the content of the enlightenment that appeared. This optional task was completely based on luck, so he didn't take it too seriously.
However, the next scene that he never expected happened.
In the ward, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Ji Xun on the bed was alert at the first time.
However, when he looked up, he saw a masked man slowly walking towards him.
Was he discovered just after sneaking in?
Ji Xun realized this, and his eyes twitched slightly.
But looking at this familiar mask again, he was also slightly surprised: "Light Chaser?"
Not the mushroom head he knew.
But the light chaser from three thousand years ago.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun immediately guessed how he was discovered.
And why did he come to greet him at the first opportunity.
The masked man walked over without further ado and said straight to the point: "I am curious, who are you? How did you know that "I am the world"? "
