Chapter 192 Preliminary Condensation of the Curse Seal
With the disguise of a clown mask, Ji Xun swaggered into the Lion City under the gaze of a group of perception masters at the city gate.
I haven’t returned home for many days, and the city has changed a lot.
Various buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Steel and steam chimneys are the main theme of the city, and construction sites are also bustling with activity.
The steam trains coming from Innocence City continuously transported a large number of outsiders every day.
The streets are filled with all kinds of hunters and speculators carrying guns and swords.
Ji Xun was dressed in an ordinary swordsman's attire and blended in with the crowd, making him inconspicuous at all.
Looking at the black lines of spiritual power that gathered on the Golden Oak Company building in the city, he also figured out the outlines of some conspiracy in his mind: "To absorb such a big movement of terror, the people of the Lionheart family can't help but Maybe you don't know. So, the Lionheart family also intends to build this new city, not only to open up wasteland, but also to provide 'nourishment' to the big man of the Oran Dynasty? Gee, these powerful people really don't regard the people at the bottom as human beings."< br>
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's expression showed a touch of sarcasm.
The so-called nobles are nothing more than that.
The methods used by the high nobles to exploit the people at the bottom are really dirty and bloody.
After spending so much money to build such a lion city, ordinary hunters thought it was an opportunity to make a fortune.
But after actually coming here, not only did he have to sacrifice his life to clear up wasteland for the noble class, but he was also used as spiritual nourishment.
Being in a fearful environment for a long time and lacking mental pollution will not lead to sudden death in a short time, but it is definitely not a good thing.
But everyone was kept in the dark.
“Human nature is really ugly.”
When Ji Xun thought of this, the sneer at the corner of his mouth became wider and wider.
He likes this dirty world.
Walking among the crowd, he also began to try to absorb those spiritual threads of fear.
Walk along the way and observe along the way.
Originally, he wanted to go directly to the Hunters Guild and sign up for the wasteland exploration of "The Third Holy Grail War: The Siege of Ironforge".
However, as he walked, he suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd.
A mushroom-headed boy carrying a leather schoolbag was walking out of a restaurant, holding a dinner plate in his hand, and walked towards a street where there were not many people.
"Jia Yu?"
Ji Xun recognized the little assistant Xie Guozhong was carrying with him.
If I guessed correctly, the last time my undercover identity was leaked, it was probably one of the two assistants.
There is a high probability that it is the one named Awen.
What is this mushroom head doing here?
Ji Xun thought of something and followed him.
There were many people on the street, but no one paid much attention to him.
After walking a few steps, I saw the badge of the public security station hanging on the street.
Too many outsiders have poured into the Lion City now, and security cases occur frequently in the city every day, including drunkenness and rioting, theft and murder, and crowd fights.
The police station is also full. people.
However, the speed of city construction has not kept up with the plan, and the police station is like a simple warehouse.
The prison is nothing but open iron bars.
There are many prisoners imprisoned in the iron fence, and you can see through them at a glance.
When Ji Xun came over, he happened to see Mushroom Head carrying a dinner plate to an iron fence.
It turned out that I was here to deliver food.
But when Ji Xun looked at the strong man with a scruffy beard in the iron cage, his pupils shrank.
"Lao Xie?"
Ji Xun's expression turned solemn instantly.
Seeing his old friend being imprisoned, he immediately thought that he was involved.
After all, in the secret realm before, without Xie Guozhong's cover, Ji Xun was hunted down by those from Bureau X, and it was impossible to escape and survive.
And as Nan Jing’s mother said later, he was hunted down because it involved Nan Jing’s fate. Although he didn’t understand what happened, it was definitely a big deal.
Xie Guozhong helped the "important target" escape, and his responsibility for this matter is definitely not small.
But when Ji Xun saw this, he immediately thought of something, and thought to himself: "Is this deliberate detention for me?"
This kind of iron cage cannot be closed. A master like Xie Guozhong.
The only explanation is that he was locked up voluntarily.
Or maybe for some reason, I have to stay here.
For example, there are experts nearby.
Still locked up in such a conspicuous location, there is a high probability that they are people from Bureau X who are unwilling to give up and want to lure out the relevant personnel?
It is obviously a conspiracy, but the bait is irresistible.
When Ji Xun thought of this, his expression showed no fear of danger at all, and he walked over.
At the same time, the mushroom-headed Jia Yu was handing the fragrant roast chicken and wine pot to the cage.
Xie Guozhong took a bite of the roast chicken, his mouth was full of oil, and he took a sip of fragrant wine from time to time.
The other prisoners on the side swallowed their saliva after looking at it, but no one dared to come near.
Xie Guozhong's evil aura is not something that low-level card masters can get close to.
On the other side, the security guards also knew this person’s identity and did not prevent him from being treated like a VIP by delivering meals.
Xie Guozhong was eating and saying: "I never understood what you were doing by following me before. Now I understand a little more. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the bureau The people of the 'Illuminati Hermitage' who have been investigating are actually in the bureau."
"."
Jia Yu didn't explain either.
There was no flaw on his innocent and innocent face, and he said words that no one else could hear: "Some old guys in the O5 Council of Elders have been corrupted by power and money, X The bureau is no longer the absolutely neutral containment organization it was when it was first created. Captain, didn't you notice the chaos in this incident? I've seen the historical inscription and learned about the history of three thousand years ago. The remnants of Oran are still the Silver Moon Sect, and their plans are huge, but this is also the key to change."
"."
Xie Guozhong's eyes flashed with depth as he listened, but he didn't say anything. .
The actions of the top management of Bureau X really made him feel very uneasy.
But the facts are still unclear, and it is difficult for him to make rash judgments.
The guy in front of me knew a lot, but he didn’t go into details.
Thought of something suddenly, Xie Guozhong said: "Jia Yu, do me a favor. If that guy Ji Xun comes, stop him for me. I know this is not a big deal for your ability. Question."
Jia Yu didn't refuse, but asked: "But Captain, don't you really think about yourself? If you are really going to be escorted back by those guys from the tribunal, what will happen to your current crime? It would be great.”
When Xie Guozhong heard this, his eyes flickered, as if too many thoughts were passing through him, and he said calmly: "No need. I would like to go back in person and ask what the top guys want to do."
"Yes."
Jia Yu sounded as if he already knew the answer.
To break the original order, it takes some heart-wrenching pain.
He didn’t try to persuade him. He packed up the lunch box, answered the question, and said meaningfully: “However, I do think that he doesn’t need my help when he comes.”
Not long after, the meal delivery was over and Mushroom Head left the police station.
Ji Xun walked around the street corner and found many pairs of eyes staring at the security department.
He didn't pay much attention, changed his disguise, and walked over without any guilt.
Xie Guozhong was still eating when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from his ear.
“Lao Xie, what can I do for you?”
Xie Guozhong already knew who was coming, and was stunned at first.
But when I glanced out of the corner of my eye, the person speaking turned out to be a mustachioed vigilante in uniform?
Height, weight, appearance and temperament were not at all similar to the Ji Xun he knew.
Seeing this flawless disguise, he felt happy, but he also said bitterly to himself: "You guys are still here."
The risk of visiting the prison is not small.
Being discovered would result in death.
Still as bold and conceited as ever.
However.
Just this feeling is very heavy.
The situation was critical, and Xie Guozhong didn't want Ji Xun to be in danger, so he said without any hesitation: "I don't need you to do anything here. You should be careful."
At this time, there was also a faint response: "Well. I may not live for long. I just want to say goodbye to you."
Ji Xun was not surprised at all that he could not help.
With his current strength, he has no ability to interfere in Xie Guozhong's affairs.
Going to an extradimensional space this time will inevitably lead to a narrow escape from death.
Coming to say goodbye can be regarded as an explanation to the few friends in this world.
What's more, he just observed and found that his old friend was willing to be locked up here.
It can’t be saved.
When Xie Guozhong heard this, he looked slightly startled and frowned, already guessing something.
It turned out to be a farewell to life and death. No wonder the adventure comes.
He didn't look at his old friend who was walking past the iron cage. He only said the last thing: "Take care. If you can live, live."
Ji Xun smiled softly: "You too."< br>
With that said, the person has left.
Xie Guozhong took another look out of the corner of his eye and took another sip of wine.
Water drops hung from his beard and dripped into the iron cage.
Those turbid eyes became more and more profound.
Ji Xun said goodbye to Xie Guozhong and seemed to feel much more relaxed.
He went to the Hunter Guild, and based on the information given by Nan Jing’s mother, he signed up for the “confidential” extra-dimensional space reclamation operation.
"Ironforge Siege" is a large-scale war mode space in which thousands of people participate.
The mortality rate is too high, and elites are needed, so not many people signed up.
In addition to the temporary recruitment of wild team hunters, the Lionheart family also has to wait for elites from all over the federation to participate.
It will take two days to gather the next batch.
Ji Xun was not idle after signing up. He observed the city and bought some supplies along the way.
He wandered around the city, carefully absorbing the "thread of fear" along the way.
The center of all threads is the branch building in Golden Oak.
This was also the reason why Ji Xun didn't dare to absorb it.
Ji Xun originally thought that he could only steal a little bit, but as he walked around, he suddenly discovered a surprise.
The threads gathering all over the sky actually have small gathering points in several places in the city!
It felt like several mouse holes were suddenly discovered in a granary.
It's like the flood has been diverted, leading to several small tributaries.
"What's going on? Someone dares to take advantage of the Oran Dynasty?"
Ji Xun was also surprised.
Those small gathering points separated at least 20 to 30% of all the threads.
With such a large amount, how could those Oran survivors not notice it?
Furthermore, Ji Xun felt that except for himself and the one in the Golden Oak Building, this "Fear Spiritual Power" should be useless and incapable of being absorbed by other professional sequence card masters.
How come there are so many branches popping up all at once?
With doubts, Ji Xun followed the small gathering points and checked them one by one.
Then he discovered that at those gathering points, formations were blatantly arranged to intercept those threads of fear.
This made Ji Xun even more curious.
He squatted near several strongholds and vaguely guessed the identities of those people.
However, what a coincidence, after waiting for a few hours, he actually saw an acquaintance in one of the strongholds!
"Bai Wei? This woman is not dead yet?"
Ji Xun was surprised when he saw the woman with black hair and a small dress walking out of the stronghold.
He remembered that he personally absorbed the extraordinary characteristics of the corpse in the secret realm palace. Now he is looking at a living Bai Wei, how can he not be surprised?
“The Xibai family’s methods are really evil.”
Ji Xun thought about some parasitic method that allowed Bai Wei to survive.
But when he saw this person, he suddenly realized!
"Is it the Bai family who are stealing those threads of fear?"
Ji Xun remembered that in the underground palace before, Old Man Xu had said that the entire Bai family inherited the [Spade 10- The professional ability of the "God Thief" path is the path of the God Thief.
The little snake that Bai Wei transformed into wanted to steal the remaining divine power from the statue of the old god.
Now it makes sense to be able to absorb the spiritual power of fear.
Confirming that it was the Bai family, Ji Xun understood everything in an instant: "Hey, that means it's not that the Oran survivors didn't discover it. But after discovering it, they chose to turn a blind eye? "
The known information now is that the eldest brother of the Lion Heart family has formed an alliance with the Bai family;
and the second brother has secretly colluded with the Oran survivors.
Compete with each other and form a large interest alliance.
The situation in Lion City is very delicate.
After all, the Oran immigrants are the largest group of wanted criminals in the Federation. Although the Lionheart family secretly colluded, they did not dare to speak openly.
The Bai family can also be regarded as allies of the Lionheart family.
Now we have discovered that the Oran remnants are using this formation to absorb "fear" in the city. It just so happens that this is also a great opportunity for the members of the Bai family themselves.
It will do no good to anyone if it is exposed.
So, just choose to join the others and get some benefits for yourself?
Even if the Oran survivors find out, they can only acquiesce in order not to affect the overall situation.
“Yo”
When Ji Xun saw this, his expression suddenly lit up.
There are so many more people picking peaches, but one more person is not that many, right?
When he thought of this, he became bolder.
He looked at the layout of several points of the Bai family, and cleverly selected a hunter hotel called "Spring Breeze Hotel", which happened to be near the Bai family and Golden Oak Company, and began to absorb those threads of fear. .
Although this behavior still carries the risk of exposure.
But he still had three months to live, and was about to go to an alien space where there was almost no hope of survival, so Ji Xun's mentality was very calm.
And it’s because Ji Xunzhu’s bold location selection and unscrupulous absorption are less risky than sneaking in.
Treating the entire city as a source of fear is inherently shady.
Not to mention that most people can't see the thread of fear at all.
Even if they are discovered, the people of the Bai family will probably think they are the Oran survivors, and the Oran survivors will also think they are the Bai family.
The two forces are on different paths. As for the verification, it needs to be verified.
What’s more, there is the mysterious Aunt Nan.
Ji Xun felt that others did not know his whereabouts, but that person must know.
No matter what her purpose is, she will definitely not let herself die now.
This is what Ji Xunya is betting on.
He just swaggered around the Hunter Hotel, absorbing the threads of fear for two days and two nights.
The reality was just as he expected, everything went well.
On this day, room 307 of Chunfeng Hotel.
Ji Xun, who was meditating on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
The circles of mysterious black lines condensed on Ji's skin are still shining with dark light.
He couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, and thought to himself: "This is the curse seal."
Ji Xun did not expect that he would gain such a big harvest in just two days.
The first step to condense the curse seal is the most difficult to take.
Originally, even with a useless sword, it would take a long time for Ji Xun to rely on his own comprehension to condense the curse seal.
However, I didn’t expect that the absorbed threads of fear had initially been successfully condensed in just two days?
Although the curse seal is only initially condensed, the physical defense is already several times what it was before.
With the overlay of the Overlord Secret Technique, the survival rate of exploring extra-dimensional spaces will be greatly improved.
This also directly increases combat effectiveness.
This is indeed a pleasant surprise.
Ji Xun took a deep breath.
The curse mark on the skin also slowly disappeared.
Today was the day of departure for the gathering to explore the extra-dimensional space. He did not linger in the hotel, cleaned up his traces, and left quietly.
Not long after, Ji Xun arrived at the Hunter Guild.
I got on a troop carrier with a group of registered pioneer hunters and walked mysteriously out of the city.
Ji Xun has participated in many different-dimensional space explorations, and there were no surprises in the process.
It was just someone secretly checking my identity.
Ji Xun disguised himself very well and did not reveal any flaws.
Not long after, the troop carrier arrived near a ruins on the outskirts of the city.
A heavily guarded medium-sized wild camp has been established here.
It can be seen that the Lionheart Family attaches great importance to this extra-dimensional space.
Ji Xun got off the car with everyone and got some basic information. The person leading the team read out some basic information.
A team of one thousand people entered the distorted light gate in a mighty manner.
Enlightenment also appeared immediately: "You have entered the "Third Holy Grail War: Battle of Ironforge""
