Chapter 466 Goodbye [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet]
The six members of Langdon’s Team 16 sat on the stone platform on the edge of the cliff to rest.
But all five pairs of eyes were staring at Ji Xun, with something indescribably strange between their brows.
Even Seri, who knew all kinds of mysterious spells, still couldn't figure out how Ji Xun found this road.
Just a jump with your eyes closed and you found it just right?
It's not like he didn't know about the [Intuition Amplifier Card].
It’s just a little bit more intuitive judgment. How come it has an incredible “sure hit” effect in the hands of teammates?
He couldn't even figure it out, and David and Gang Duoduo in the team couldn't understand it at all.
However, Ji Xun, as the initiator, behaved very indifferently.
But after all, he felt a little embarrassed by those pairs of eyes staring straight at him. He explained in a self-deprecating way: "It's not as magical as you think."
As he spoke, he explained his reasoning in detail: "The professional card I transferred to is the exclusive sequence of the great prophet Melendez [Melendez's historical apprentice]. After the transfer, I already have the ability to enhance my gnosis. I happen to have some knowledge of occultism and know a little bit about divination. I just used the 'Humanoid Pendulum Technique', and then I had [Intuition Amplification], so I chose this place."
Looking at the five people. With a blank look in his eyes, Ji Xun said helplessly: "Anyway, it's just good luck."
However, it's better not to explain.
With this explanation, a look of unknown severity appeared on all five faces.
[Eruditionist] is a person with a lot of knowledge. Ji Xun’s actions along the way completely explained the outrageousness of this career sequence.
Not only has he used more than ten spells of different elemental laws.
Now he even knows the abilities of the mysterious system.
This is not a "little understanding". Every ability this guy shows is no worse than a card master who specializes in one skill.
However, although they didn't understand much, the five teammates finally understood the "principle".
The illusionary feeling like a dream gradually disappeared, and the brains of the five people gradually felt as if... was that really what happened?
Ji Xun also knew that there was no need to waste any more words.
Whether his teammates understood it or not, the rhetoric he just said can withstand logical scrutiny.
This also appeased the five people’s sense of disconnection in their thinking caused by their insufficient knowledge of unknown things.
This scene seems familiar.
In the extradimensional space of "The Battle of Ironforge", Ji Xun, Jia Yu, and Chujiu went to find the Holy Grail together.
At that time, there were no clues about the location of the Holy Grail, so Jia Yu used the drifting method to find the path and miraculously found the secret passage, which surprised Ji Xun for a long time.
Just like now, Ji Xun's humanoid pendulum stunned five teammates.
This wayfinding method may seem like metaphysics, but in fact it is still scientific in nature.
In fact, it is the ability to deduce the laws of the world brought about by "I am the world".
When you see how the world works, something will definitely happen at a certain point in time.
Ji Xun actually didn't know that this hidden road was here. In the end, just as he said, he sensed it with a flash of inspiration.
This "sixth sense" is a mysterious realm that he currently cannot understand.
But it’s already controllable to a certain extent.
As for the bandit, why did he come here even though he can fly?
Ji Xun felt that it was still the cause of the crack in the abyss.
No one knows what lies within the chasm of the abyss.
But Emperor Lanlingst had been severely injured in a crack somewhere, let alone others.
As the saying goes, it's best to take a familiar road when going to the mountains, otherwise you might break into the territory of some monster.
But none of that matters now.
Having found the secret passage leading to Black Crow Castle, they are now thinking about what to do next.
After a few people recovered from the shock, they also began to check all the traces on the stone platform.
This place has been abandoned for hundreds of years, so of course nothing can be found.
However, there are indeed many new traces. It seems that many people have passed through here recently.
The most important clue is, of course, the corpse of the hunter that had been drained of blood.
“The blood of the corpse was sucked dry. Was it done by the monster in the afternoon?”
"Well, it's most likely. The body still has the same dark elements that were in Anthony's body when he was injured. Why do I feel like a legendary 'vampire'?"
"Don't say it, it really does look like it. I have also heard that vampires have fleshy wings like bats and like to suck the blood of living creatures."
"."
The few people in Seri have never seen a vampire, and they are still surrounding the corpse. Looking at it curiously.
Ji Xun has seen it many times and is extremely sure that this is a vampire.
However, when listening to the inquiries from his teammates, he would occasionally quote the legends in the classics and respond vaguely.
What he was thinking about was the development of the plot.
In the hidden mission I received before, Hunter Chloe was just a guide, but it might actually be a difficult plot hidden under the main plot, pointing to the "mysterious adventurer" who hired him.
Now it seems that the mysterious man is looking for this suspension bridge.
As for Black Crow Castle, there is another main road that all the villagers know.
So, this may not be as simple as just one path.
However, the suspension bridge was completely hidden in the black mist. When Ji looked over, he only saw an unknown area.
Thinking about it, my pupils became slightly dilated.
The five teammates also finished investigating the body.
Now it feels to a few people that a hidden plot with great potential is right in front of them, and it depends on how they choose.
Gang Duoduo turned his head and looked at Su Lun, casting a questioning look: "Su Lun, what are we going to do now?"
After saying this, several other people also looked at Ji Xun .
If it is the main plot, they can also follow the task prompts.
But now, his eyesight has completely gone dark.
David looked at Ji Xun's expression as he stared at the suspension bridge and guessed what he wanted to do, and directly suggested: "How about I go over and take a look first?"
Although he didn't expect Ji Xun to be so thoughtful, he also knew that if he wanted to get a breakthrough in the plot, he had to go to the other side of the bridge.
And he is the person with the strongest overall physical ability in the team, so there is no reason to hide behind.
Having said this, Gale also said: "I'd better go. I'm an assassin, and if you walk on this chain suspension bridge, the noise will be smaller."
Everyone knows the other side of the bridge. It was an unknown danger, but at this moment, no one backed down.
However, Ji Xun was not in a hurry to respond.
He was still thinking.
The plot alone is not difficult.
The difficult thing is that there is another hand secretly controlling this trial.
Before you understand the other party’s true motives, you can easily end up in a disadvantageous position if you end things hastily.
Seeing him thinking, the five of them didn't interrupt him and just waited quietly, each showing a thoughtful expression.
After a while, Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly, and then he said: "It's too risky to go now. We have to wait"
"Wait?"
No one understood.
They were a little surprised. The bold guy who dared to be the first to propose a night exploration into the deep forest would stop when he was obviously close to hiding the truth of the plot?
It’s not like David and the others didn’t know there was danger.
But isn’t the danger always there?
From entering the forest to fighting all the way here, it seems to be no different from before.
Only Ji Xun himself knows that the danger now is different from before.
Seri thought for a while, followed Ji Xun's train of thought, and asked: "You mean to wait until others attack the castle and attract the attention of those bandits before we go?"< br>
“Yeah.”
Ji Xun nodded: "Even if the suspension bridge is such a critical thoroughfare, there may be some early warning mechanism even if it is not guarded. If we go there rashly, once we are exposed, we may attract the firepower of all the bandits. Then the situation will be very dangerous. So in the end The best opportunity is to wait until someone attacks the castle and attracts the attention of the bandits."
After hearing this explanation, the others thought about it and understood.
Whether it is the team of Princess Sophia of the Red Dragon Royal Family, the Young Master Sack of the Langdon Family, or the team of Faerun of the Simon Family. They all actually have the strength to confront the bandits head-on.
As soon as the day breaks and the fog in the forest dissipates, these elite teams will definitely find ways to obtain higher trial evaluations and rush to find trouble for the bandit leader.
Gang Duoduo frowned: "Ah, don't we have to wait until daytime?"
Everyone knows the truth, but after finally traveling through the night to get a little bit of a head start, waiting now seems to be a bit of a waste of previous efforts.
Others can think of it, so can Ji Xun.
But when he heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he said meaningfully: "Perhaps, you don't have to wait so long."
Along the way, the great risks accompanied by the huge gains made this team The team's morale was high, but Ji Xun's words stopped his teammates from wanting to consider the suspension bridge.
But since it was him who spoke, no one else said anything.
After experiencing so many incidents, the team no longer had any doubts about Ji Xun's judgment.
A few people rested peacefully on the stone platform.
About two hours later, it was late at night.
Thick black gas gushes out from the cracks in the abyss.
Ji Xun has been meditating cross-legged for two hours without moving.
There are actually two types of difficulty in this trial space.
One is during the day, which is roughly equivalent to "normal mode".
The second type is night, which is "difficult mode".
From the very beginning when we entered the extra-dimensional space, Enlightenment reminded us that the castle at night was "haunted".
If the person behind the scenes is going for a difficult plot, he will definitely cause trouble at night.
Ji Xun and his team proved with their strength that an elite team can survive at night.
Although their team is strong, they are not the strongest overall.
The guards of several big nobles are not bad, and their equipment is better.
Several strong teams compete in the same space, and they will lose if they hesitate.
So Ji Xun is sure that someone will make a big move tonight!
Compared to Ji Xun's calm meditation, the other teammates seemed a little bored.
Seri adjusted the spell cards in the card slot, Gang Duoduo wiped his armor, David adjusted his breath and adjusted the spell power, Zhuosha also prepared the healing potion, and Gale was using a dagger. Playing with knives and flowers.
They have prepared their own methods.
Sharpen your sword and wait for the monster.
However, the night seemed to have passed very long.
The more you pay attention to time, the slower time passes.
However, the accident came very suddenly.
Without any warning, the enlightenment buzzed.
"Yinshan Village was attacked and breached by bandits, and the B-level opportunity plot mission was triggered. Reinforce Yinshan Village to rescue the villagers."
This enlightenment seemed to give everyone a stimulant, and everyone came to the rescue instantly. Literally: "Here we come!"
But when they saw the enlightenment content, their expressions became strange.
Isn’t Yinshan Village the village they stayed in before?
It was actually attacked by bandits? This means that the bandits chose to attack at night.
Seeing the sudden enlightenment, everyone became embarrassed.
They waited for Ji Xun's opportunity.
But at the same time, I was also bound by this enlightenment.
Gail hesitated and said: "Silver Fir Village was attacked. Will the young master be in danger?"
After all, they are the family knights of Duke Langdon's Palace, and nothing is more dangerous than his own young master. important.
Seri shook his head and said: "It's too late for us to rush back now. On the contrary, if we can contain the bandits at Black Crow Castle, we will be able to force them to return to defense."
After saying that, he continued: "Besides, the bandits will definitely not send out the entire army for a night attack. Master and the others have the enchanted weapons and [Light Dispeller] against dark creatures, so they may not suffer."
Ji Xun That's what it means.
This is the most rational choice.
But the fact is that as a knight of a noble family, whether you can do it or not is one thing. Whether you want to do it or not is a matter of attitude.
If Young Master Sack is really in danger and they fail to come back to support him, the entire team will be labeled as disloyal no matter what shocking results they achieve afterwards.
Everyone's faces were filled with embarrassment.
However, before this entanglement allowed everyone to make a decision, enlightenment appeared one after another.
"Congratulations to Duke Langdon's first team for successfully killing the barbarian giant Yabok, leader of the three thieves squad. The key plot commander will receive an additional bonus of +3% for the first kill and an additional bonus of +3% for the points."
< br>"Congratulations to Duke Langdon's first team for successfully killing Black Knife Tuze, the captain of the seventh team of the Red Smoke Gun Bandit Group. The key plot commander will receive an additional bonus of +15% for the first kill and an additional bonus of +20% for the first kill."
< br>Not long after, Qidi appeared again.
"Congratulations to the trialists of Yinshan Village for successfully guarding the village and completing the opportunity plot. The collective trial point reward is +500."
Obviously, the bandits have gone.
But he was also killed miserably.
The rabble and the regular knight corps like them are not the same thing at all.
The leader of the bandits was killed and they dispersed immediately.
Things turned around so quickly that it was unbelievable.
There was a crisis just now, but it was over in a blink of an eye.
“It’s the young master and the others!”
“Haha, the young master and the others have driven away the bandits! Those vampires must not have expected that the young master and the others have restraint methods against dark creatures!”< br>
“Yes. Thanks to the booklet Su Lun found before, otherwise this bandit’s night attack would have killed people.”
"."
The teammates became excited and wished they were all there, killing each other indiscriminately.
This B-level opportunity plot seems a bit too easy to complete.
That’s not the case.
The props Ji Xun discovered were not originally designed to serve B-level plots, but higher.
So when I killed a few bandits who were attacking at night, the enemy's neck happened to hit the knife edge.
Those things have a huge damage bonus to low-level vampires, and they also made Young Master Sack's elite chopping melons and vegetables solve this crisis.
In the final analysis, it is Ji Xun’s credit.
It can be expected that after this trial is over, the Langdon family’s trial results are definitely not bad.
But before everyone could get excited, Qidi appeared again.
"Congratulations to the Thirteenth Team of the Red Dragon Royal Family for discovering the Black Crow Castle for the first time. The main plot exploration reward +15%, and the extra point reward +10%"
Seeing this, the expressions of the teammates who were excited just now are also Frozen on the spot.
If it was a small surprise that Young Master Sack repelled the gangsters just now, then these guys from the Red Dragon Royal Family have done something big!
Even Ji Xun’s pupils shrank slightly.
But it was just a momentary accident.
Immediately, the entire incident emerged clearly before his eyes.
Just as the bandits attacked Silver Fir Village, the Red Dragon Royal Family arrived at Black Crow Castle. This was no longer an accident.
But the people of the Red Dragon Royal Family did it deliberately.
In order to share his own pressure, he deliberately led some bandits to Yinshan Village.
And looking at it now, the gathering signal sent by the Red Dragon Royal Family in the afternoon may not be that they are in danger, but that they have already discussed it. As soon as they come in, they will gather their strength and go straight to the final BOSS of the main plot.
"Those guys in the Red Dragon Royal Family are really vicious. They want others to share the pressure with them." It’s hard to say how many people will be killed.”
“.”
After a few words, everyone understood what happened.
The elite team may not be afraid, but the ordinary teams that are just a little bit worse may be in danger.
The trial space encourages competition. This kind of behavior is not shameful in the Royal Academy, but is in line with the cunning temperament of the dragonborn.
I originally thought that their team was the closest to Black Crow Castle, but now I saw that there was someone else.
The sense of urgency came all of a sudden.
But Ji Xun didn't care about diverting trouble to the east.
He thought deeper: "So, is it true that the inside should be coordinated with the outside? Is there an accomplice of the person behind the scenes in the Red Dragon Royal Family?"
He had been thinking before that just bringing in a few strong teams to compete might not achieve the desired results.
There may also be some people within the trial students who will take the initiative to guide the development of the plot.
Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.
Ji Xun thought again: "It's strange. If you can convince Princess Sophia to take the risk, then the identity of the 'accomplice' is also very unusual. Could it be that they are the Red Dragon Royal Family? No, the three royal families dare to rebel. Holy See?”
Things are getting more and more complicated.
But no matter what, when the opportunity comes, Ji Xun won't be able to ink.
Now is the best time to cross the bridge.
The thoughts in his mind changed and he stood up directly.
Seeing him leaving, the five people in Seri also looked forward to preparing to join them.
However, Ji Xun glanced at everyone and said with great solemnity: "Now I plan to go over and have a look. But there are some things that I have to tell everyone"
This was the first time that everyone heard Ji Xun's serious expression, and the excitement on their faces dimmed instantly.
Ji Xun said bluntly: "I don't know what will happen if I go through this road. I suspect that the difficulty of the plot may exceed A level. So the risk is very high. If you can go through it, you may not be able to survive. Come back"
More than A level?
So I immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
The instructor of the academy said that if the difficulty of the plot exceeds A level, the survival rate of elites will be 100%.
No one would think his words were exaggerated.
"What I mean is, I'll go over and take a look first."
These teammates are all good people, and Ji Xun doesn't want them to follow him and commit danger.
After all, he is just a clone, and he will die when he dies.
And whether he is a clone or not, he also has this courage and idea.
But without saying anything, David stood up resolutely and said: "Su Lun, I'll go with you."
He was a slave, and his life was not in his own hands.
A pure martial artist values love and justice.
Moreover, he had received a lot of guidance from Ji Xun during this period, and David would never let Ji Xun, a frail polymath, go into danger alone.
Young people are always passionate. As soon as David said this, Gang Duoduo also stood up, followed closely by Seri, Gale, and Zhuosha.
"I'm going too!"
"Let's go together!"
"."
The six teammates already have a good understanding, and none of them back down.
Ji Xun glanced at everyone and wanted to say something, but he swallowed it all.
He doesn't want his teammates to take risks, but he also respects their choices.
In his current vision, one's courage is related to destiny.
This is a trait more valuable than living.
Everyone has been prepared for a long time.
After Ji Xun decided to set off, Gale, an assassin, took the lead on the iron bridge.
Ji Xun and David are behind.
Gang Duoduo and the others were not in a hurry to get on the bridge. First, they cut off the bridge to prevent accidents. Instead, they waited for the three of them to find out the situation before taking action.
The visibility in the abyss fissure is extremely low, and Gale, who was one step ahead, was completely submerged in the black mist.
Ji Xun and David took a few steps, and the figures of Gang Duoduo and the others were no longer visible behind them.
There is only the whistling of the wind and the clatter of the chain suspension bridge swinging in the wind.
After walking a hundred meters, there was a vast black fog in front and behind.
This made people walking on the suspension bridge even more frightened.
I don’t know where the suspension bridge leads, and I don’t know what I’m about to face. The unknown brings an increasingly strong hint of terror to people.
There seems to be a fight over at Black Crow Castle. Although we can't see it, the sound of the battle can be heard far away.
The template under your feet has been corroded to pieces, and there are potholes everywhere. If you are not careful, you will fall into the endless abyss.
David walked carefully.
Ji Xun was walking on flat ground, stepping on the places with iron chains and making steady progress.
Uncertainty in the eyes of others is not in his eyes.
The thickness of this iron cable is far worse than the one in the East Wasteland Fissure. He estimates that the suspension bridge will not be too long. Judging from the arc pulled by gravity on the bridge, it is only a few hundred meters long.
As expected.
Not long after, the two of them saw Gale standing guard at the end of the suspension bridge.
There is still a stone platform here, together with a cave, leading to the heart of the mountain.
But that is not what Ji Xun cares about.
His eyes were immediately attracted to the tall black obelisk next to the cave.
“Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet!”
Seeing that this was a familiar black stone tablet, Ji Xun's heart felt the biggest wave since entering the extradimensional space.
If we talk about the previous conspiracy, plan, and plot, he still feels that he has a little desire to explore.
However, the moment he saw this stone tablet, he immediately changed his mind.
Every place where the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Stele] appears, there is a major historical event involved.
So the moment Ji Xun saw the stone tablet, he immediately realized that the Black Crow Castle might be involved in the secrets of some ancient demon gods.
