Chapter 23 Devil's Cross Ruins
Ji Xun was originally curious about what the outside world was like, but as soon as he came out, he heard Chujiu's voice.
The urgency in his tone already indicated something.
Without any hesitation at all, he followed and dived into the mist.
There was thick fog all around, and Ji Xun didn't know where he was. Moreover, it seemed to be night and there was no light.
Fortunately, the [Joker Card] was fused before, and the night vision ability has been greatly enhanced, and the vision is generally unobstructed.
The ground is made of concrete, and looking at the black shadows around, it looks like there are some very tall buildings.
Ji Xun speculated that this should be in a certain building complex.
Weeds, cracks, and shadows of unknown creatures are everywhere showing traces of dilapidation left by the years, and it looks like the ruins of an ancient city.
Chujiu didn’t say anything, he just led the way, walking quickly all the way.
It wasn't until they reached a platform that the two stopped.
Ji Xun looked around and saw that it looked like the roof of some kind of building. There were taller buildings in the mist above his head, and there were also some low ones below.
Before he could understand where this place was, Chujiu suddenly took out a bottle of potion and sprinkled it all over Ji Xun's body like disinfection.
Before Ji Xun could figure out what was going on, he heard his teammate say: "This is [Deodorizing Potion]."
Chujiu knew that with this guy's IQ , I will never miss the reason, and I don’t mean to explain it.
When Ji Xun heard this, he immediately understood the intention.
As you can tell by the name, this is a means to prevent tracking.
My teammates are as cautious as ever.
At the same time, it also confirmed his previous suspicion that he had broken through the extra-dimensional space and was in trouble.
Although there is a small chance that Chujiu is here because of something he has on his body, facing this teammate who is also suffering, he is definitely better than some young master from the Cao family.
"Hurry up!"
After finishing the potion, Chujiu suddenly let out a soft drink.
Time was running out, and she had no intention of explaining, so she grabbed Ji Xun's tactical vest.
Then he jumped up and down the foggy cliff in front of him.
Although she has seen that this guy is very smart, she still has to admit that this guy's physical fitness is really terrible.
Let him jump by himself, or he may fall to death on the spot.
Although Ji Xun guessed that they were running away, their immediate jumping off the cliff made his eyelids twitch.
Before he could react, his body was carried by Chujiu and fell rapidly.
Yes!
It is a free fall like bungee jumping.
The soul is still on the platform, but the body has fallen towards the abyss, chasing away.
Chujiu ejected the steel cable on the mechanical arm in mid-air, and the "hissing" sound of the steel wire being stretched was heard, and then it sounded like it was hung on some iron frame, with a clang.
Ji Xun immediately felt a downward buffering force in his body, and his soul finally caught up.
The cold wind made the pavement wet.
A layer of water mist formed on the gas mask, and he, a weak woman who looked half a head shorter than him, easily twisted herself with one hand, like a swing among the hazy buildings. Swing.
Although this method is a bit scary, the displacement speed is very fast.
After about seven or eight ejections of the steel cable, they were already far away from the previous building.
“Keng.”
Ji Xun stepped on the ground with both feet. When he looked closely, he saw that the two of them were stepping on a huge metal pipe.
The fog is so thick that you still can’t see the bottom of the pipe. The sound of gurgling water could be heard, and it was estimated to be at least twenty or thirty meters high.
Chujiu didn't look back and continued to lead the way. As she walked, she reminded: "Be careful, there are some abnormal monsters in the ditch below. If you fall, it will be very troublesome. People will notice if you make any noise."
"Yes."
The mist filled the air, and the water vapor was wet on the pipes. If they were not careful, they would slip off. Ji Xun walked carefully.
At this time, he had the opportunity to say: "Thank you."
Obviously, this teammate had just done him a big favor and even saved his life. Thank you as well.
Chujiu's tone was very calm, and he still had the tone of not wanting to owe any favors: "There's no point in thanking you. Let's just cooperate and get what we need. Without you before, I wouldn't have been able to come out of that extradimensional space."
She knew very well that without this guy's incredible thinking, she would not have been able to come out of the space smoothly and gain such a rich harvest.
Not only did she exceed expectations for job transfer materials, she even received an A+ rating when she came out for settlement.
It is very rare to get an A+ in a different-dimensional space of this difficulty.
This allowed her to draw another card that suited her.
Therefore, Chujiu felt that this favor was owed.
But it was precisely because of the high evaluation that she guessed it would cause big trouble.
She knew very well that even though she had received an A+ rating, that teammate's rating was definitely higher.
S evaluation?
The probability is high.
But once someone in the extra-dimensional space gives an S rating, the entire space will inevitably collapse and disappear.
You will definitely get into big trouble by then.
The ninth day of the lunar month stayed.
As expected, not long after she waited nearby, the 407 extra-dimensional space suddenly collapsed.
The fourth young master of the Cao family probably thought they were dead, or were just card master apprentices, so he only sent some mercenaries from the Black Water Regiment to guard them.
And after the space collapses, the exit location will also become random.
This also gave Chujiu the idea to help.
Fortunately everything went well.
It was too easy for her to deceive some mercenaries. However, she used some tricks to make the fog thicker. She had already found the mercenaries before they could see the situation clearly.
Hearing this, Ji Xun smiled and said indifferently: "Miss Chujiu, you are too polite. I wouldn't have come out alive without you."
After a pause, he added: "Besides, you have saved me again now."
Chujiu listened and said nothing.
Both of them are smart people. There is no need to mince words when talking, and there is no need to be polite to each other. They walked a little further on the pipe, and Chujiu in front jumped down and landed on another horizontal pipe four meters below.
Is this probably the height that an extraordinary person can jump to at any time?
But when Ji Xun, a weakling, looked at this height, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
Reason is not afraid, but physical conditions do not allow it.
He wondered whether he would injure his legs when he jumped. It was more likely that he would fall off the pipe and fall into an unknown depth of fog.
Ji Xun was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "Miss Chujiu, if I fall, can you pick me up?"
"."
Chujiu glanced up after hearing this.
This guy's domineering aura of controlling everything in the extra-dimensional space before and his current demeanor of being timid even when jumping on the pipe are really like two completely different people.
But looking at him like this, Chujiu felt that some thoughts in his heart were balanced.
Ji Xun saw that she acquiesced and jumped directly.
With a "dong" sound when he landed on the ground, the weakling's body swayed left and right, and he was about to fall as expected.
The moment he lost his balance, a hand pulled him back.
Ji Xun stood firm and said again: "Thank you."
Chujiu did not respond, but continued: "The S-level evaluation will disappear if you clear the level in the different dimension. , that is to say, now everyone knows that the most important treasure inside is in the hands of you and me. The fourth young master of the Cao family will never let it go when he finds out that the things in the space have been taken. Moreover, the reputation of 407 Space is not small. , many people in Devil’s Crossing Camp are watching. Before the news spreads, you’d better return to Innocence City. Once you enter the city, even the Governor’s Mansion will have a hard time finding you.”
Speaking of this, Chujiu suddenly stopped.
Not everyone has heard of the "Epic Source Card", and she wanted to remind her of the value of that thing.
But as she spoke, she felt that her words seemed redundant.
It is impossible for such a smart guy to not think of this.
Ke Ji Xun was stunned for a moment, then what?
Of course he can think of threats.
But he knew nothing about this world. He had no idea what the "Devil's Crossing Camp" or "Innocent City" was like.
I wanted to hear more information from Chujiu, but unexpectedly she stopped talking.
Ji Xun guessed what she was thinking, but now it was obvious that information was more important, so he asked directly: "So, do you think, how can I return to Innocence City safely now?"
Although Chujiu felt strange when he heard this, he felt that this guy shouldn't ask such a question. But he also responded: "In half an hour, the Hunter Guild's train is about to leave Devil's Crossing. Now that the news has not spread, it should be your best chance to leave."
Ji Xun silently wrote it down. .
It turns out there is a train.
If you want to leave, the sooner the better.
The eldest son of the Cao family values the epic source card so much that even if he knew who had taken it away, he would never publicize it.
The best choice is to leave this ruins before the news spreads.
Of course, the premise is that he can leave smoothly.
The two walked along the pipeline for more than ten minutes. It was like a super large steelmaking plant with various large and small pipelines in it.
The surrounding buildings are also very unique in style, tall and slender, like tall towers. There are also various pipes and covered bridges on each building, giving it a strong magical punk style.
If Ji Xun remembered correctly, Chujiu said his name more than once, and it seemed to be "Devil's Cross Ruins".
While walking, the two of them have reached a platform. This position is also very high in the ruins, and the view suddenly becomes clear.
The fog is like a sea of clouds, accumulating under the waist of the building.
The two of them were at waist level at the moment, surrounded by tall buildings.
Dilapidated, ancient, and vicissitudes of life. Traces of time are everywhere, and the whole city is filled with a mysterious and ancient charm.
However, what surprised Ji Xun even more was that this was actually a dungeon?
Looking at the sky, I didn’t see any stars, it was completely dark.
The light source of the entire city seems to come from some crypt plants and the building materials themselves have a faint fluorescence.
There are also volcanoes in the distance.
Is there a tall active volcano at the end of the field of vision?
Yes, underground volcano!
Ji Xun was stunned as he looked at it. No wonder he felt that there was always a smell of sulfur in the air.
The red magma flowing from the crater is particularly conspicuous in this dim underground world.
Looking carefully, the layout of the buildings in the entire ruins shows a huge "cross shape".
Viewed from a high place, it looks like a mysterious symbol with some magical effect.
No wonder this ruins is called "Devil's Cross".
Ji Xun marveled in his heart: "What a spectacular underground city. What is going on in this world?"
Listening to this, such a spectacular city is just an ancient ruin.
The innocent city where humans live is still somewhere else.
Not far away from the field of vision, a building was glowing with fire, and there was a lot of people there. It was probably the "Hunter Camp".
Chujiu came here and stopped, pretending to say goodbye: "The camp is ahead, and there are no aberrations nearby, so let's just say goodbye."
"Yes."< br>
Ji Xunting nodded.
It’s very kind to escort you here.
He can walk over this distance by himself.
I thought Chujiu came to help me for some reason, but now I see that I am really overly worried.
This teammate really doesn’t want to owe any favors.
When leaving, Chujiu gave one final reminder: "One more thing. No matter who asks in the future, you'd better not say you've seen me, otherwise it will cause you endless trouble. Also, you Don’t tell anyone about your gains in this extra-dimensional space, otherwise it will be very troublesome.”
Ji Xun naturally knows, “Take care”
Chujiu said nothing and jumped down.
Ji Xun watched the strong figure disappear into the thick fog. Without his teammates, the surrounding breeze seemed to be filled with murderous intent.
He didn't waste much time and walked towards the camp.
