Chapter 97 The First Devil's Horn
Someone is dead!
A group of hunters looked at the guy with his head pierced, and were stunned for a moment before they realized: "Enemy attack!"
"Quick! Be careful of the archers!"
< br>Everyone picked up their equipment and looked around for a hiding place, fearing that a cold arrow would hit their heads at the next moment.
Ji Xun glanced at the direction of the arrow's trajectory from the corner of his eye, and saw only darkness, and exclaimed in his heart: "What a brilliant stealth method. Is he a disaster-level demon archer?"
But obviously , the danger is not limited to cold arrows.
After this arrow, dense footsteps sounded in the surrounding dense forest.
Ji Xun's ears twitched slightly and he discerned a rough number. He frowned slightly and said, "At least several hundred."
At first there was a slight movement like ants climbing, but it didn't take long. Just like a flood.
When everyone looked at it, various little demons, big demons with sticks, hellhounds, and lava slimes from all directions in the forest were surrounding the team.
What is coming is not a small group of enemies, but an army of monsters!
The little devil has tried it before, and it is probably as strong as the Katu.
But those big demons that are more than two meters tall can withstand bullets, which obviously has the combat effectiveness of a formal card master.
Among the group of monsters, there is also a gray-skinned giant that is more than five meters tall and has an ugly face.
Extremely eye-catching!
[Giant Demon]
Detailed explanation: First-order D-level disaster, a demon with giant blood, it has powerful strength and thick skin;
A group of hunters Seeing this, they all cursed: "Damn it! How could you be so unlucky to encounter an army of monsters as soon as you arrive!"
Ji Xun quickly looked at the monster tide, but his expression didn't change much.
He wasn't surprised at all when he encountered a monster.
But what surprised him was that they didn’t meet each other along the way, but they met here?
"Is this an ambush by a demon?"
Thinking of something, Ji Xunye suddenly sneered in his heart: "Oh, that Young Master Kahn really didn't reveal any information at all. . ”
The situation here is so bad.
I can imagine that the situation of other teams is definitely not good either.
In this encounter alone, not many of the two hundred hunters would survive.
But in fact, this can be avoided.
Because someone has come in once before, the relevant information about the D-class mission has been spread.
But the information Ji Xun bought before was all about space rewards and the like, and there was absolutely nothing about plot missions.
It’s not that the intelligence merchants don’t know.
But someone paid a higher price and monopolized the information.
You don’t need to think about it to know that it is the Lionheart family.
But those guys knew that they would be ambushed by monsters in the Sawtooth Forest, but they didn't reveal it at all before.
Still let everyone divide their forces to complete the "Beacon Tower Mission".
Ji Xun also guessed why.
Without changing the development of the original plot, the intelligence in the hands of those guys will be more valuable.
And once the hunters die, the guaranteed death rate will be filled up immediately.
The triggering probability of "unexpected plot" will be the lowest.
This is of great benefit to those in the Lionheart family.
Before I had time to think too much, the battle had already been triggered.
Looking at being surrounded by monsters, the hunters turned pale with fright, but they also took out various weapons and began to attack.
Ordinary firearms can still be used, and long-range firearms and crossbows are available.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang".
"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh".
The battle also became fierce in an instant.
But the number of monsters was dozens of times greater than theirs, and the firepower of a dozen hunters simply could not suppress the monster legions.
After a few breaths, the demon group rushed into the flat ground where they rested and started a fierce close combat.
Ji Xun also failed to stay out of the matter.
Dozens of dexterous little demons rushed up with sharp stone daggers.
Although the breastplate on Ji Xun's body was crude, it was enough to defend against most attacks.
With his current power, this kind of monster can be killed almost every time.
The long-handled ax in the hand is swung wildly in the whirlwind, and when the shield hits, the little devil will die suddenly on the spot.
While killing monsters, Qi Di also quickly refreshed the screen.
"Kill the 'little devil', battle merit +1"
"Kill the 'Cerber Hound', battle merit +1"
"."
In the blink of an eye, dozens of battle merits were recorded.
There are too many monsters now, so you can only seek blessings for yourself.
Ji Xun glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that other people in the team were using all kinds of methods, but Old Man Xu had disappeared.
But the boy who followed him was very brave.
The young man held a fishbone thin sword, and almost every sword could accurately penetrate the forehead of a demon.
A pile of corpses quickly piled up around him.
The eyeliner of the black wolf group has now transformed into a werewolf form. He is also very powerful and has a little devil in one claw.
Although Ji Xun is not very skilled in ax and shield, he has suppressed most demons with his strength alone.
It was just a glance out of the corner of his eye, probably because his "Black Knight" target was too big.
The D-level disaster [Giant Demon] also came up.
Ji Xun also had no intention of backing down.
He also wants to try to see what his current strength is.
“Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”.
This mountain-like monster was running towards me, and it felt like the ground was shaking.
As soon as he ran towards him, the boulder mace as thick as a tree trunk struck down at Ji Xun.
"Huhu" strong wind pressed against the face.
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 terrifying power.
If he were hit head-on, the Black Knight would probably be knocked out even with his armor.
Ji Xun didn’t dare to ask for a hard call.
Dodge lightly under your feet and avoid it in a thrilling way.
“Hoo!”
The sound of breaking wind brushed against my scalp.
As soon as Ji Xun avoided it, the jagged tree trunk next to him that the two of them were embracing was suddenly broken, and sawdust flew into the sky.
The power of this giant demon is truly amazing.
But now take a look.
It swings the stick down with one stick, but the backhand swing is very clumsy.
Ji Xun keenly caught this weakness and was not polite.
While he was dodging, he swung the long-handled ax and struck the giant's knee with the axe.
"Poof!"
It was like cutting on the thick rhinoceros hide.
Magic body protection, the axe’s not-so-sharp blade cut into it a few centimeters.
But it was completely cuticle and no blood was seen.
"What a thick defense!"
It was this confrontation that gave Ji Xun an accurate idea of the monster's power and defense.
He pulled out his axe, and with his backhand he slashed the little demons around him into two pieces.
The giant demon withdrew the mace at this time, shouted "Ouch", and hit the front with a stick that was so fast that a shadow appeared, and then hit it hard again.
Ji Xun listened to the howling wind above his head, glanced slightly, and easily avoided it again.
He backhanded the ax again and struck the monster's knee wound just now.
Then he swung the giant ax with his backhand again, slashing out a bloody mist on the little demons who wanted to sneak attack.
Fighting and fighting, one person and one monster seem to have become a turn-based battle.
The monster struck out with a stick, but Ji Xun dodged it and used an axe with his backhand.
Repeatedly.
There were too many monsters, and Ji Xun had to withstand the D-level disaster and was too busy to take care of himself.
Other hunters have no ability to survive against enemies dozens of times their size.
The wild team formed temporarily had no trust in each other and could not talk about any cooperation.
The screams were endless.
Although most of the demon legions are not strong, they are better in numbers.
Each one held a sharp stone dagger and aimed at the hunters, causing bloody holes.
With dozens of monsters attacking at the same time, and the cold arrows shot from time to time, the hunters couldn't resist them at all.
The thirteen people fought on their own, and almost in the blink of an eye, there were only three places where fierce fighting was still going on in the huge forest.
Ji Xun, the captain of the Black Wolf Regiment, and the young man holding a thin rapier.
The combat power of the three of them far exceeds that of ordinary hunters.
At this moment, a turning point came.
Ji Xun slammed his axe, hitting the giant demon's left knee for the seventh time.
This time, the ax finally struck in.
With the sound of "crack", the patella cracked, and the giant demon's five-meter-tall body suddenly lost its balance and fell to his knees.
Although this guy is invulnerable and has terrifying strength, he is unable to exert force after lying on the ground, so the threat is reduced by half.
After swinging the ax twice more, the monster felt pain and screamed "Ouch".
At this time, the young man 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 looked stern, as if he had used some kind of martial arts, and "swish, swish, swish" he stabbed out a rain of swords like raindrops, and a large blood hole appeared between the eyebrows of a large group of little devils in front of him.
Taking advantage of the moment when the monster tide eased, he rushed towards Ji Xun: "I'm here to help you!"
Ji Xun watched the young man rushing towards him without saying anything, and took the opportunity to block the giant's mace with his shield.
The young man jumped deftly, and then stabbed the giant demon in the eye with a sword.
This kind of thin sword is inherently light and precise in martial arts, and the young man's sword is very precise.
Ji Xun looked slightly sideways because he saw a cold glow condensed on the tip of Jia Shaojun's sword.
That is sword energy compressed to the extreme.
not much.
But enough!
The sound of "swish" was like stabbing into rotten wood.
The penetrating properties of the rapier made it easy for the sword to sink into the giant demon's head, which was as big as a bull's head.
The monster still wanted to resist, but the mana surged all over the boy's body, and there was a "pop" sound, like a bullet piercing through. A blood hole was pierced behind the monster's head, and red and white blood flowed out.
Ji Xun looked at this sword skill and praised in his heart: "The strength is not bad."
Among hunters, it is rare to see such a dazzling master at such a young age.
At the same time, Qidi made a prompt: "Kill the D-class disaster giant demon, combat merit +70"
It is probably the space judgment team to kill, and the boy also divided some Military exploits.
But it doesn’t matter, you can get dozens of points of military exploits just by brushing them up.
His combat merit has now reached "231" points, and he has already met the minimum requirements for leaving. The young man's sword indeed saved Ji Xun a lot of trouble.
The young man’s judgment was very accurate.
After killing this giant monster, the remaining hundreds of monsters lost their leader and retreated like a tide with strange screams.
There were corpses left on the ground.
There are three more alive.
Ji Xun, the young man, and the werewolf who was injured and breathing heavily.
Oh.
No.
It’s four.
Hearing the sound of the monster escaping, old man Xu, who was missing his front teeth, came out of a tree hole with a look of disgrace.
The mischievous little boy looked around and saw that there was really no danger, so he dared to climb out.
This guy was full of stench. I don’t know what kind of feces he had smeared on him, but he could smell the sour smell like cat feces from a distance.
He did not show any embarrassment and muttered: "Ouch, why did you suddenly encounter so many monsters?"
The young man also walked over and helped his grandfather pat his body. Shit block.
There was a flash of disdain in the werewolf's eyes.
Ji Xun looked at it but narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't look down upon it at all.
Surviving is a real skill.
It was a good thing to survive the disaster.
But suddenly, the atmosphere became subtle.
The magic power on the giant demon gathered, and the small horn on its head suddenly lit up with red light.
This is the "Devil's Horn" that only disaster-level demons can produce.
This is a key item to improve the hidden rewards for clearing and clearing levels, and is also a must-have item for exchanging military exploits for top-notch munitions prizes.
The eyes of the four people were attracted together.
Ji Xun was not polite and cut off the corner with a knife.
But just with this action, the captain of the Black Wolf Group in the distance had other ideas.
He shouted sharply: "Hey."
Ji Xun raised his head and glanced at the guy.
The man said: "Give me this horn. I will give you one million when you get out."
Ji Xun didn't want to pay attention.
Wait until everything is sorted out before dealing with this guy.
But as his peripheral vision reached the depths of the jungle, he suddenly thought of something else, changed his mind and said, "But I want to keep it for myself."
As he said this, he seemed to be pretending I didn’t know this guy’s identity, and I didn’t see the cruelty hidden in his eyes. He said in a teasing tone: “After all, if you draw a special card, you won’t have to worry about it for a few lifetimes.”
“. ”
The man's expression instantly turned cold as he listened.
Before coming in, Master Kahn offered a reward of five million for a devil's horn.
You can also record merit in the guard.
Whoever gets it will be able to turn over immediately.
I didn’t expect there was one right in front of me.
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. Low.
But if you give it after you go out, you have no intention of giving it at all.
“Tsk”
Ji Xun listened to these words that were no longer threatening, and the arc of the sneer under the gas mask became even higher.
Taking away the name of Young Master Kahn, now everyone in Sinless City must be more or less afraid of him.
However, there was a person in front of me who was not interested in the young master.
"What if I insist that I don't want to sell?"
Ji Xun didn't really want to talk nonsense with this guy.
But I didn’t forget that there was a very powerful archer who was shooting cold arrows in the darkness of the forest.
Ji Xun's intuition told him that the guy might not have left yet.
And now, that intuition is getting stronger and stronger.
While speaking, Ji Xun deliberately blocked the back of his body in front of the tree trunk to avoid some visual blind spots.
Hearing this, the eyes of the man from the Black Wolf Group have turned completely cold. The great wealth is right in front of him. He will never give up. The muscles of the newly degenerated werewolf body are beginning to tangle again at this moment: " What do you mean? "
He had observed this guy's fighting just now. His strength was indeed good, and his agility was good, but that was all.
This guy doesn't even have basic fighting skills.
Being able to kill that D-level disaster was simply because the giant demon was too clumsy.
Ji Xun didn't explain any new or old grudges. This guy is still alive just because he still has some value.
He said meaningfully: "It means that you may die."
Before he finished speaking, he deliberately raised the ax and made a diagonal slash from left to right.
The man from the Black Wolf Group sneered in his heart, is this it?
He instinctively made evasive movements.
However, before the ax fell, he had just made the backward movement.
The murderous intention has arrived quietly.
Suddenly, a sound broke through the air.
An arrow shone with the luster of runes, and the jet-black arrow with black spiral energy accurately pierced the wolf's head.
The speed of the arrows is so fast that as soon as one sees the cold light, blood bursts out.
The expression on the Black Wolf Group's face instantly froze, and he never understood where the arrow came from until his death.
Ji Xun didn't even look at the corpse. He quickly glanced at the direction where the arrow came from and said, "It really didn't go away."
I just said all that, just because I wanted to try to find a bait. Will the archer not be able to resist attacking an enemy who has exposed a big flaw?
I never thought I would actually try it.
"The long-distance shooting of four hundred meters is very powerful. There is also a way to this arrow."
Ji Xun saw more information clearly this time.
He looked at the black iron-quality [Demon-Breaking Spiral Arrow] again and judged something: a first-order C-level disaster, with a silver-quality bow.
These are all mobile achievements.
Ji Xun became murderous and quickly put away the devil's horns on the monster's corpse.
The corpse of the giant demon also produced a black iron material [giant's eyeball].
Calamity's corpse was rare, so he didn't want to waste it. He took out the storage card and collected the entire corpse.
Ji Xun was wearing heavy armor, so he was not afraid of sneak attacks by archers.
He stood up and turned his head to look at the other two survivors present.
The old man with missing front teeth in the distance shrank at the sight, and quickly pulled the young man beside him to hide behind a tree trunk.
Ji Xun said without any ink: "You have a share in killing this D-class disaster, but I will take the devil horn. In exchange, you don't have to go to the beacon tower, I will light it."
After ignited, teammates who are still alive can also share the battle merit.
Hearing this, Old Man Xu looked flattered and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, master, you are joking, you can take this corner, we have no objection at all. Without this brat interfering, you can do it easily. Kill the monster."
"."
Ji Xun glanced at the two of them.
I don’t know if he was flattering or if he really saw something.
But to be alive, you must have some real skills.
The young man is not weak either.
But if it had to happen again, the two of them might not survive.
He didn't reveal any tricks, and Ji Xun didn't want to waste time explaining.
Those ordinary hunters don’t have anything valuable on them, so leaving a little behind can be considered as dividends from the final disaster attack.
After simply packing up the loot, he turned around and entered the forest alone.
Ji Xunyi left.
Old man Xu also let out a long breath, "Oh, that guy is finally gone. That murderous intention, if I dared to say no to the old man just now, I'm afraid we, my grandfather and my grandson, will have to answer today Here.”
The young man looked at the old man who was really not afraid, and said with a frown: "Grandpa, although that person is powerful, he is not that good."
Recalling it, he stated his observation in a straight and clear manner. "The man's fighting skills are still very unfamiliar, and they are only at the level of 'intermediate fighting'. With this strength, any guard in the Lionheart family is stronger than him. He is just more agile than the average black knight."
Old man Xu listened and laughed: "The werewolf dared to forcefully buy, and he thought so too. Do you think he is like this now?"
"But, this is not him."
The young man wanted to say that it was not that person who killed him.
But when I think back to that scene of a headshot with an arrow, the more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.
Before the young man could think about it, the old man continued: "A cruel place like Innocence City is not a rich ore layer. There are no vain young masters and ladies here who rely solely on skill cards. If you don't have real ability, you can't live. Intermediate fighting can only mean one thing. The person's advancement time is too short, and he has not yet reached the level to adapt his martial arts to his body. He was deliberately practicing with monsters. In other words, he can officially advance. The curse card master definitely does not rely on intermediate combat, but hides the real method. Even the black knight professional sequence is just a disguise."
The young man Mingjue. Li.
Not thinking about it, he wondered: "But how did that person know that the demon archer was hiding in the forest? And he still concluded that he would take action?"
"Do you really think that this person is so stupid? What is Lai Lai doing for so long?"
The old man asked back, asking and answering: "That person has no intention of selling the devil's horn. From the beginning to the end They all went there with the intention of killing people. The werewolf will die if he can't speak. The value of living for a few more moments is just to serve as bait."
He added while picking up the corpses on the ground. He said: "I disdain to be associated with Xiao Xiao, but I can't suppress the restless murderous intention in my heart. He is a very contradictory person. I can't understand."
Hearing this, the young man blinked and said curiously: "Grandpa, can you beat him?"
Old man Xu spat, with an expression on his face that he didn't want to cause trouble for the old man: "Bah, with your grandfather's lame tricks, it's good to be able to save his life. , still expecting to be in the limelight?”
After that, he added: "Pack up and get ready to leave."
Young man: "But you don't have 100 points yet."
Old man Xu said with a wretched smile: "It's on the battle merit card of the corpse. Seeing that you made one last unnecessary sword strike, they didn't hesitate to give us some credit. That's very kind. Oh, of course, it's also possible that you are busy chasing after the demon bow and arrow. I don’t have time to pick up rags. Anyway, these corpses are cheaper for us.”
The young man is obviously more concerned about other things than the corpses: “Ah, is that person going after the archer?”
< br>The old man disagreed: "What else? Why not chase the archer and go to all the trouble to lure it out and shoot an arrow?"
The young man fully understood after listening to this, and said in surprise: "Can he catch up? I mean. It may be a mixed-blood dark elf, a natural hunter. In this environment, it is impossible to be caught. Even if it is agility, Even the card masters can’t do it.”
The old man shook his head: “That’s why I said you’re still far behind. Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean that others can’t do it.”
“Grandpa, what’s wrong with you? Do you know what he is up to?"
"It's because he didn't see it that he left so simply. Someone who was killed and silenced.”
“I feel like that person will not.”
"You know nothing."
"."
"I think it's most likely that you're here for the eldest young master of the Lionheart family. Forget it, don't worry about him coming here. What the extradimensional space is for has nothing to do with us. I have used the secret method to ask about the devil’s body before, but there is nothing I’m looking for. There’s no point in staying in this space.”
"Ah, but I also want to see the war mode."
"See it! Isn't it good to be alive? You kid, don't be so pushy next time. I've told you many times to keep a low profile. , can you live longer."
"."
The grandfather and grandson gathered the bodies, quarreled all the way, and ran back leisurely towards the fortress.
