Cataclysm King

Chapter 421: The Light Chaser from Three Thousand Years Ago

"Kill the rebel scout, military merit +1"

"Kill the rebels' elite signalman, combat merit +4"

"Kill the rebel scout leader, military merit +10"

"."

Ji Xun didn't know the enemy's situation, so he had to choose to fight quickly and decisively.

But after a few breaths, eight bodies were lying in a pool of blood.

Ji Xun killed four, Nan Jing and Chu Jiu dealt with two each.

It must be said that they had encountered this small group. Otherwise, the tactics of this team of elite scouts would be enough to kill any small mercenary group.

Ji Xun looked at the corpses, then at the military merits gained from the kills, and roughly assessed the strength of the enemy he faced in this mission.

A third-rank card master is only a small amount of military merit for him. If he wants to collect 10,000 points, theoretically he has to kill 10,000 people?

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

Chujiu also nodded: "Yeah."

Although the three people were easily dealt with just now, it was because their methods were very powerful.

But you have to know that this is just an ordinary reconnaissance team.

But the combat capability, combat experience, and willpower he just displayed are by no means comparable to card masters of the same level three thousand years later.

After killing people, they still need the necessary intelligence.

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

This lady with the bun-like hair is the high priestess, and of course she is also proficient in the secret art of searching souls.

Mantras that sounded like the chanting of Sanskrit were recited from his mouth, and mysterious underworld characters lit up on the spiritual scroll.

Nan Jing also got some information in a blink of an eye, and said with a serious look: "This team is from the Fifth Rebel Army. Their base camp is eight kilometers northwest. However, we don't need to look for them. Kill these people. We have been discovered."

As soon as he finished speaking, Enlightenment appeared: "C-level mission triggered: You and your partner's ambush and killing of the rebel scouts has been exposed. The rebel reconnaissance general 'Shadow Blade Harold' has led experts to surround and kill you. You need to survive."

"hehe."

Ji Xun looked at Qidi and laughed at himself.

The will of this space really didn't give people any chance to breathe. As soon as they came in, they were attacked, and then they were chased and killed.

However, the war mode is all about fighting and killing, and the three of them were mentally prepared.

They had no intention of staying there for long.

A rebel general is not a big problem, with a C-level difficulty. It is estimated that "Shadow Blade Harold" is at most level seven.

What they fear is to attract the real top-level 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 the old senior was hiding somewhere just because of his old habits.

But it's very unusual that it hasn't appeared yet.

Moreover, he had no sense of 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 should not be with us."

Nan Jing also shrugged, indicating that he didn't see it, and guessed: "Could it be that after entering the space, he was not in the same position as us?"

The two women were not fully aware of what was so special about Old Man Xu, nor did they know why Ji Xun cared so much about him.

When Ji Xun heard what they said, his brows immediately frowned.

Because he remembered that he had a similar experience once before.

That time in Xia Mucheng, in that secret place where time could go back, Old Man Xu disappeared "mysteriously".

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

Thinking of this, Ji Xun’s first reaction was this.

But when I asked Chujiu and Nanjing, the two girls didn't find anything unusual at all.

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

Ji Xun could only say: "Be careful and pay attention to the changes in time and space. There is something strange about this different dimension."

The three of them quickly shuttled through the dense forest, and soon they found that they were being caught up.

There are soaring eagles in the sky and some scouting ghosts floating in the dense forest.

They were targeted by various means.

The war lasted for decades at the end of Talen. It must be admitted that the rebels who survived to 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 his two companions were extremely capable, they still felt strong pressure from the pursuers.

Nan Jing also confirmed that behind them there was at least one level seven, three level six, and a dozen elite soldiers who could keep up with their speed.

Obviously, the other party judged that the three men were very powerful based on the time it took them to kill the previous team.

So right from the start, there was the corresponding pursuit and killing 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 any action until they had figured out the situation.

If we really kill the seventh level, the next one to come after us might be the eighth level.

This is a wrong way of thinking.

The three of them galloped through the forest, with the sun shining into the forest from time to time, adding a bit of the comfort of the bright spring sunshine to the urgent pursuit.

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

Nan Jing continued to search the soul, trying to get as much information as possible: "Almost there. It will probably take another three minutes!"

The reason they dared to break in like this was largely because of the secret soul-searching method that Miss Bun-haired learned from the Book of the Dead.

This secret method can search the soul and obtain intelligence efficiently and accurately.

"three minutes?"

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

If I keep running like this, I will be caught up in three minutes.

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

Thinking of this, he leaped up and hugged Nan Jing's waist who was a few meters away.

When the girl with the bun-haired head let out a soft cry of "Ah", she saw Ji Xun had teleported and hugged Chujiu who was not far away.

The two women were stunned by this action at first.

But then he understood something.

Holding a little friend in one hand, 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 of them, moving quickly through the forest like a gust of wind.

Walking in the air all the way is already extremely fast.

Combined with the gravity and repulsion that he had already mastered, it was like there were two invisible hands pulling and tugging, and when he was almost in the woods only a shadow was left.

Another thing is that I have become proficient in walking in the void, so when I occasionally encounter obstacles, I don’t need to avoid them and can just pass through them.

Nan Jing did not disappoint. She first searched the soul to find out the defense situation nearby.

With her guidance, the three of them were able to perfectly avoid the nearby trap areas and get rid of the predicament of being surrounded in the first place.

Just like that, after the three of them crossed a hill, they actually managed to shake off the pursuers!
Three figures stopped in the depths of a covered forest.

The swift eagle overhead could no longer be seen, and after sensing the surroundings, he found no pursuers approaching.

Enlightenment also appeared at this time: "C-level mission completed. You and your partner have escaped the rebels' siege. Gained +1000 combat merits and 1 plot point."

Logically speaking, the mission is to kill the pursuers in order to maximize the benefits. Now that he has escaped, he has only received a small reward.

It was just a C-level mission and was not very attractive to Ji Xun and the other two.

Seeing Enlightenment, the three of them 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?"

Stopping, Chujiu looked at Ji Xun in surprise. Although he didn't say anything, he was also surprised by the change in this old friend.

The speed of the evacuation just now was really unbelievable to her.

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 had almost finished searching the soul. He took out a piece of white paper and drew a simple map. He said, "We are now in the 'Luolin Mountains' west of the Imperial City. This area is full of human rebels. The leader of the rebels is the 'King of Gladiators' Brulos. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the personification or incarnation of the 'Lord of War Monliod'. There are a total of 16 large rebel legions, with a total number of more than one million."

"To the south is the insect army of the 'Mysterious Bug Queen Karakta'"

"To the north is the corrupt plague zombie army of 'The Source of Corruption, Nesser'"

"To the east is the millions of orcs led by 'Beast Blood Boiling Mutu'."

As he spoke, Nan Jing marked them all on the map.

However, the one who searched the soul was only a small team leader and didn't know much.

Ji Xun and Chu Jiu listened attentively.

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

Nan Jing also knew what kind of intelligence 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 circulating among these rebels 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 Tarun Dynasty ultimately collapsed in this battle.

But at present, it seems that as long as it does not come to the final moment of breaking the city, the imperial capital Behemoth will be the safest place.

The direction that the three people had explored before was to get as far into the imperial capital as possible.

Because only after entering the city, Chujiu and Nanjing's identity advantages will be maximized. They may get some unexpected gains.

Nan Jing nodded: "Yes. Legend has it that it is probably in this area - Gosia Volcano. It's not too far from us."

Ji Xun looked at that location, and recalled the fire resistance equipment of the mercenaries in the camp that he had observed before, and analyzed: "The Holy See's large forces are active near this volcano. They should have discovered this secret passage, or related clues."

Nan Jing: "Are we going over now?"

Currently it is just a C-level main mission, and 10,000 points are not difficult for three people.

Uncovering the hidden plot is the key.

Of course you have to find a way to enter the imperial city, where top NPCs gather, and there must be a lot of hidden plots to explore.

"Ah."

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. And I would stop others from going in. So the secret passage may not be that safe. And if we haven't found the secret passage yet, it will be difficult for the three of us to find it in a short time. So if we want to get to the imperial city as soon as possible, I'm afraid we have to find another way."

"Ah."

The three of them were very familiar friends. Chujiu and Nanjing also knew Ji Xun's outstanding deciphering ability, so they listened 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 the situation."

Upon hearing this, the two girls showed strange expressions.

The name of this different dimension is "The Fall of Behemoth: The Siege of the City".

Although it is related to the battle of Taron's destruction, it is still far from the final decisive battle.

The current main storyline is just peripheral reconnaissance, which is not too difficult for the three of them.

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

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

However, once you enter the rebel camp, the main storyline will be out of control.

You have to know that there are foreign gods among the rebels. If you are exposed, you will surely die.

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

Nan Jing asked worriedly, "But Ji Xun, wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

Judging from the current difficulty of the plot, there are many experts among the rebels, and it is not necessarily impossible for them to discover Ji Xun's disguise.

Ji Xun had of course 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, and with this disguise, the probability of being discovered will be very low."

He had already confirmed through various channels that the pollution of the Boiling Beast Blood Mutu was a blood pollution.

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

As long as blood contamination has the same beast transformation ability, it is considered "the same kind".

Although Ji Xun does not believe in the old gods, he does have beastly blood.

As long as you don't show up in front of a top-level expert, the chance of being discovered is very low.

When Nan Jing and Chu Jiu heard his plan, they knew it was dangerous, but they couldn't think of a better option.

After making the decision, the three of them carefully moved through the dense forest and headed east.

Before sneaking in, Ji Xun still needs a lot of intelligence.

"B-level main storyline mission triggered: Find the rebel headquarters. In order to break the long-term siege, the top leaders of the Talen Empire plan to carry out a bold decapitation operation. But in order to ensure the success of the operation, the enemy headquarters must be identified first. Your mission is to find the location of the enemy headquarters."

In a flash, another two days passed.

Ji Xun, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing killed several reconnaissance teams along the way and obtained a lot of intelligence.

Those people in the southern continent were not idle either, and they raised the difficulty of the main storyline missions to level B.

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

Fortunately, Ji Xun and his two companions were quite strong and escaped unharmed.

This day.

In a dense forest.

Moonlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the forest at night.

Under the cover of the barrier, the three tall werewolf corpses gradually turned back into human form.

There was still one person who was still breathing. While Ji Xun was interrogating him, he was also carefully observing this guy's personality, voice, habits and appearance.

After searching the soul, Nan Jing said solemnly, "About five kilometers to the east, there is an orc army base. The leader is the seventh-level werewolf Morges, a reckless man with low intelligence."

This was the third Orc Legion stronghold they encountered, and 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 light, and he instantly turned into a corpse on the ground.

His acting skills are now very proficient, and he can imitate 90% of it.

Chujiu and Nanjing, who were standing by, looked at the changed Jixun and said, "Jixun, be careful!"

"Ah."

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

All the tactics had been discussed in the past few days, so without further ado, he turned and sneaked towards the depths of the forest.

Ji Xun has had many experiences as a spy.

Whether it is acting or his ability to adapt to changing circumstances, he is confident that he will never reveal any flaws.

Ji Xun injured himself again, pretending to be attacked, and then ran into another group of patrolmen in the forest.

This group of people started chasing and killing again, and Nan Jing and Chu Jiu killed a few more. In this way, Ji Xun, the "survivor", was no longer special.

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

Moreover, after observing for the past few days, Ji Xun has also confirmed that people who have been polluted by the foreign god "Beast Blood Boiling·Mutu" will be very strong physically, but their wisdom will not be that high accordingly.

These preparations were enough to make his identity flawless.

Soon, a group of wounded soldiers returned to the camp.

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

There are nearly 30,000 orcs stationed here.

In the camp full of smelly feces, Ji Xun quickly became familiar with the environment.

After all, this is an alien dimension without time limits.

His original plan was to find some more intelligence in the orc camp, and then find a suitable opportunity to see if there was any way to get close to the imperial city.

I didn't expect that this infiltration would yield any results.

If that doesn't work, we can contact Chujiu and Nanjing to work together to force the orc camp and complete the main mission.

However, Ji Xun had just entered and had been lying in the wounded camp for a short time.

Enlightenment reminds again.

"A-level optional plot mission triggered: 'Mysterious Worm Mother 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, due to the appearance of defectors in the human empire, the energy source 'Space Source Stone' that drives the artifact was taken away. You need to find the space stone taken away by the defectors."

"The A-level mission has been triggered?"

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

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

But the good thing is that it is "optional" rather than mandatory.

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 is triggered, most likely by contact with relevant NPCs.

It's impossible for the Queen Insect adventurer to get in touch with her. No, people from the Oran royal family might have a chance.

But the more likely possibility is that someone has come into contact with the High Priest of Taren, Nan Shenyu.

"Hehe, could it be that the new King of Oran is really coming in person?"

Ji Xun figured something out and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

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

In order to be able to come into contact with High Priest Taren so quickly in this super-large extra-dimensional space, in addition to entering the secret passage of the imperial city, one must have a special identity.

It is most likely the bloodline of Augustus.

Ji Xun looked at the content that appeared in the enlightenment. This optional task was completely based on luck, so he didn't take it too seriously.

However, what happened next was something he never expected.

In the ward, everything suddenly became quiet.

Ji Xun, who was lying on the hospital bed, became alert immediately.

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

Were we discovered right after we sneaked 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 guy he knew.

But it was the light chaser from three thousand years ago.

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

And why would you come to say hello at the first opportunity?

The masked man came over without further ado and said straight to the point: "I am very curious, who are you? How did you come to know that 'I am the world'?"
