Chapter 486 Dead Realm
Everyone in the Great Sword Regiment headed towards the wasteland.
In the depths of the Warcraft Forest, there is a powerful Lord Warcraft almost every few hundred miles.
With the accurate information from the guide Ji Xun, they hunted a large number of magical beasts one after another, and also found many rare medicinal herbs.
With Qin Ru's super powerful fighting force, everyone in the Great Sword Regiment had no danger all the way, and successfully hunted down two seventh-level lord monsters, [Earth Brown Bear] and [Fire Lion King].
The biggest gain came from a group of wind demon wolves that came to the door.
The battle was fierce and many people in the team lost.
But the harvest is also very impressive.
In the end, the seventh-level demon wolf lord and hundreds of mid- to low-level demon wolves provided them with a large amount of high-level demonic beast materials.
What everyone in the Great Sword Regiment has achieved in just half a month's trip is almost equivalent to what they originally planned to achieve in at least half a year.
Just like that, several days passed by.
Further southeast of the Blackwater Swamp, there is a cave with lush vegetation, which is the fairy forest where the elemental elves are located.
This forest is very large and is home to countless magical beasts and extraordinary creatures.
There is a spring called "Rainbow Spring" in the deep forest.
That is the habitat where the elemental elves have lived for tens of thousands of years.
This day, in the forest.
Giant trees hundreds of meters high were lying upside down, and there were signs of burning everywhere in the messy forest.
Weird black flames appeared on the burning branches, and the surrounding soil was burned into hard crystals.
We just experienced a fierce battle here.
At this moment, in a huge charred pit on the ground, Qin Ruzhu pulled out a big sword from a two-headed strange dog that was more than ten meters long.
The last trace of life passed from the two-headed strange dog, and the strange black flame steaming from its body was extinguished.
Only then did everyone see clearly its skin that was as hot and cracked as lava.
Even if it is turned into a corpse, this monster still exudes a heart-stopping coercion.
Without Qin Rushi’s super fighting power, everyone would have become food for monsters long ago.
Seeing their leader kill the monster, everyone in the Great Sword Group also gathered around.
"My dear, the black fire that this thing spits out almost melted my relic-level shield."
"Yes, this black fire is really powerful. Thanks to my quick dodge just now. But even if Several meters away, the flames burned through my protective magic shield and are still burning my flesh."
"Brother Ji Xun, what kind of monster is this? I’ve never heard of it.”
“It should be [Hell Two-Headed Dog]. It’s normal if you haven’t heard of it. This is a mythical blood-born monster. Legend has it that it can only be found at the entrance to hell, or somewhere. You can only see these undead places."
"Mythical species? Oh, why is this pressure so strong? Hahaha, we are lucky, this is the third lord-level mythical monster. ”
"Yes. This monster's physical body is ridiculously strong, and its elemental control is exaggerated. The materials are suitable for both legal and melee combat. The most important thing is that it has two heads and two crystal cores, which can make two advanced materials at one time. Corey, Lao Bai, you two are blessed."
"."
Heat is the thermal radiation of the law of fire, and cold is the erosion of the soul by the law of darkness.
This is "Hellfire".
It is a dual element of darkness and fire with a very high legal level, an ability that only higher hell creatures can master.
Ji Xun had mastered a little bit of this ability during his career advancement, so he recognized it at a glance.
Beside the deep pit, the monster is dead, and no one dares to get too close.
Even though they were far apart, they still clearly felt a strange feeling of cold and heat.
But when they heard that Ji Xun was confirmed to be a mythical species, everyone seemed very excited!
When you encounter this rare material, it will be the birth of a seventh-level future!
Qin Rusu put away his sword and walked into the pit.
There was no need for her to deal with the corpse, so she walked up to Ji Xun who was standing by the pit, frowning and thinking at the corpse, and asked: "What's wrong?"
Ji Xun found out what he was thinking at the moment and said: "It is recorded in the classics that the [Cerber Hound] in adulthood will not exceed ten meters in size. This one is too big."
Qin Ruzhi guessed what he said What is it? He also said: "You mean he has mutated like the snake king before?"
"Yeah."
Ji Xun nodded and said: "Before, I was not sure whether the 'giant' variation in the size of the king snake was random or directional. Now it seems that there is a high probability that it is directional."
Hearing this, Qin Ru thought for a moment and said: "Do you suspect that the source of the two mutations may come from the same inducement? However, this [Hell Dog] does not have fragments of the godhead"
No Controlled variation is “distortion”.
If it is controllable, it is enhancement at the genetic level, which can also be said to be mutation.
When Ji Xun thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Master Meilin.
The top biologist once said that this stable bloodline directional enhancement is actually an enhanced professional card without castration.
Like my own "scarlet pollution".
To be able to really control distortion is equivalent to advancing one sequence more than others out of thin air.
Thinking of this, a lot of things came to his mind, and he explained: "I have also thought about this issue. I have seen similar directional mutations in a different-dimensional space before. The bloodline of those creatures There is the giant gene of the mythical [Titan] family. That kind of mutation is long-term and may take many generations to reproduce. So I suspect that the current Cerberus and the previous King Snake are actually pointing to the Titans. The fragments of the godhead are most likely derived from the foreign object that caused the mutation of the fallen Titan god King Snake, and this Cerberus should have lived in a mutated environment."
"."
Qin Ru was lost in thought after hearing this explanation.
Without waiting for more thought, Ji Xun added: "Generally speaking, Warcraft, especially Lord-level Warcraft, usually do not leave their habitat easily. Either the habitat has undergone drastic changes and they cannot adapt to it. To survive, or to be driven out. Judging from the current situation, it may be that people from the Holy See went to the 'Death Zone', and these monsters were disturbed and ran out."
The reason why he was sure. This is because this forest is the home of the elemental spirits.
Two-headed dogs are exotic.
Ji Xun said, looking at the two elves, Cora and Nina, who were crying on the branches in the distance.
This forest is their home.
Originally, they had great expectations, but they met Ji Xun, a kind-hearted human being who sent them back.
However, when I came back now, I saw that not only had my home been taken over by an alien monster, but all the people in my home had been driven away, and the Rainbow Spring had dried up.
They were like children who had lost their homes, with strings of crystal elemental dew flowing out from both sides of their pitiful cheeks.
Ji Xun had actually guessed this situation before.
Elemental elves are the darlings of the elements and a very special creature.
They can get along with almost all creatures in the forest, because with them, the elemental aura of the forest will naturally gather.
This is the living environment that other creatures also need, and everyone can get along with each other in peace.
But humans are different.
Since the Fairy Forest has been discovered by human adventurers, it is absolutely impossible for these "walking 100,000 gold coins" to continue to live in the forest so peacefully. There will definitely be a steady stream of hunters.
As for the "Rainbow Spring", where there is spiritual spring water, there are natural spiritual stones.
If someone discovers it, it will inevitably be dug out.
This also made the forest that was originally described as an "elemental ocean" by the two elves become what it is now.
But even so, the concentration of elements in this place is the highest that Ji has ever seen in nature.
This is also the most important reason to attract this lord-level two-headed hellhound as a habitat.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Maru Mar and all the clansmen are gone,"
"It may be that they were in danger and moved to other places. I'll ask around and maybe I can find it."
"Thank you, Ji Xun. But I'm very, very sorry that the reward we promised you may have to break our promise."
"It's okay."
"."
< br>
The two elves burst into tears.
When he was tired of crying, he hid it in Ji Xun's pocket and never came out again.
Without their home and clan, they now only have Ji Xun to rely on.
Ji Xun didn’t say anything.
It is expensive to raise two elves.
But if you keep it, you don’t just keep it as a pet.
With the addition of these two quirky little guys, life has become a bit more colorful.
As for the other things, they are not that important to Ji Xun.
A monster like [Cerber Hound], which has never appeared before, appeared in the Fairy Forest. The other places are also different from the previous information.
They can still deal with one now, but they may not be so lucky next time.
Ji Xun and Qin Rushi discussed it and the team did not move forward.
The next trip needs to be carefully re-planned.
It just so happened that several team members were burned by hellfire in today's battle and needed to rest.
The team camped near the abandoned Rainbow Spring.
This is the territory occupied by Cerberus. At least there will be no other lord-level monsters in the large area nearby, so it is safe enough.
Soon, tents were set up and bonfires were burning.
The meat of Cerberus is highly poisonous and tastes bad, making it inedible. Only Bonnie, the poison master, likes the bitter and tooth-crushing taste.
The thick soup on the campfire is the meat of the demon wolf.
These meats with magical remnants taste much better than the meat poultry raised in the city, and Ji Xun has also been feasting on them recently.
When camping and resting, it is also the time when everyone is most relaxed.
Everyone gathered around the campfire as usual.
Brag and sing.
There are musicians who are proficient in music in the team, and there is a harmonious and noisy atmosphere in the camp.
The cadres of the Revolutionary Army are a group of passionate and religious people. They have been getting along day and night these days. Ji Xun has become very familiar with them, and gradually there is no taboo in chatting with them.
Gossip has always been a curiosity factor in human blood.
After having enough food and wine, Qin Ru, who was very tired from fighting all afternoon, went to rest in the tent first.
Ji Xun was pulled by Bonnie to try the poisonous wine she prepared.
While drinking, we chatted about gossip.
Bo Ni and Qin Ru are close friends, and she is more confused about their relationship than others.
After all, I had no idea that the two of them knew each other before this adventure.
She suddenly asked: "Hey, Ji Xun, when did you and the leader meet? What is your relationship?"
At this point, everyone around the campfire pricked up their ears.
Ji Xun looked at the blazing flames of gossip reflected in everyone's eyes, and said with his usual expression: "Aunt Qin is my respected senior and sincere friend."
Boni listened to this answer. He was not happy: "Friend? I have never seen the leader be so 'sincere' with a man. Tell me, how do you know each other?"
Ji Xun knew that the girl was making fun of him, but He also said: "We have known each other for a long time. Aunt Qin has saved me many times."
Qin Ru was not present, and everyone was even more joyful.
Chen Jianwuliu, who was listening to the side, also interjected: "Hong Lou! They met in Hong Lou. Hahaha, An Luos and I were also working in Hong Lou at that time, but at that time Ji Xun The brothers are only at the first level, so they have no impression.”
When everyone heard about Hong Lou, they became even more interested.
After all, it was once the largest entertainment city in Innocence City.
Of course, this sound could be heard in the tent, and Qin Rushi, who was meditating, had a look of helplessness on his cold face.
I always have a serious look on my face, and it seems that my friends are very interested in my private life.
While chatting outside, suddenly two rapid bird calls sounded in the camp.
Qin Rushi opened his eyes suddenly, because this was a signal from the peripheral sentry.
It means, someone is coming!
“Someone is approaching the camp!”
Beside the bonfire, everyone suddenly fell silent and each took out their own weapons and prepared for battle.
Meeting people in the Warcraft Forest is not a good sign.
Even more dangerous than encountering a World of Warcraft. Soon, the sounds of fighting could be heard outside the camp.
No matter who the person is or what their purpose is, there is no one around for dozens of miles around this big sword group. Now that it suddenly appears, they have to be arrested and asked about the situation.
The person who came seemed to be quite strong and was not captured immediately.
When Ji Xun and his group rushed out, the man still wanted to leave, but in the blink of an eye he was captured by Chen Jian and several others.
Under the cold magic light, a tired and scarred face was illuminated.
The injuries were not from the fight just now. They were old and new, and had scabs. It seemed that the upper body had been attacked many times in the past few days.
When Ji Xun looked at the braided tea bearded man, he realized that he actually knew him!
In just a split second, Ji Xun walked from the back of the crowd to the front of the crowd, his clown mask already changing his face.
Before the members of the Great Sword Regiment came to ask, the strong man with the tea beard also recognized him, and a strange look suddenly lit up in his originally desperate eyes: "Aren't you from the Holy See? "
After hearing this, everyone understood why this guy was running away after being discovered just now.
It turns out that they were regarded as members of the Holy See.
When Ji Xun heard this, he suddenly had a thought in his mind: Is this guy being hunted by the Holy See?
The reason why he knew them was because these guys happened to have bought information from him!
The "Mithril Snakes" are a mercenary group registered in Mosili County of the Red Dragon Kingdom.
It is also a moderately famous medium-sized mercenary group.
But there is no official background.
The leader is the seventh-level "Black Giant" Questi, who is not weak in strength.
They came from the north to accept the task of land reclamation and recruitment from the Holy Holy See. They also wanted to come to the World of Warcraft Forest to make a fortune.
The intelligence dealer "Sean" played by Ji Xun has a good reputation in the industry, and has sold some information to outside adventurers.
There happens to be this mithril snake.
The bearded man in front of me is the deputy leader, and he also has sixth-level strength.
Ji Xun didn’t know his name. He just followed their leader when they traded information in the tavern.
When the bearded man looked at Ji Xun, he seemed to see the last hope of survival, and exclaimed: "Are you the intelligence dealer in the Giant Spirit City?"
He also knew what it meant to have conflicts with other adventure groups in the wild. result.
There is a high probability that he will be regarded as a gangster with malicious intentions.
Now that I have met an "acquaintance", there may be a chance to help explain.
Ji Xun nodded and took the initiative to speak: "I remember correctly, are you from the Mithril Snake?"
"Yes, yes!"
Teabeard nodded repeatedly, "Brother, can you tell them that I am not an unknown person. I didn't know you were camping in the forest just now. I entered by mistake. This place was just a misunderstanding.”
Speaking of which, I still want to leave.
Ji Xun saw the panic in his eyes at a glance.
The more anxious the other party is, the more it means that they cannot let go.
He spread his hands and said with a helpless expression: "I'm just a hired guide."
His intuition told him that this guy must have some secrets when he was being hunted.
And Ji Xun is also curious, this is already deep in the Warcraft Forest, high-level Warcraft are everywhere, why is this guy alone?
Where is his team? Also, why was he being hunted? Was it really a coincidence?
You definitely can’t let him go until you ask clearly.
Seeing Ji Xun's statement, Qin Ru immediately understood and said coldly to the man: "If you don't explain the origin, do you think we will be so stupid to believe that we met a sneaky guy outside the camp in the middle of the night? No malice?”
“Ah this.”
Hearing this, Teabeard was obviously anxious.
He could not explain his situation and only said: "I was chased by a group of magic bats just now. I really stumbled into this place by mistake."
Ji Xun silently observed his micro-expression, That already reveals a lot.
But he captured another key.
Ji Xun had already guessed something in his mind, but he questioned it and said in a deliberately knowledgeable tone: "Magic bat? What kind of bat can chase you, a sixth-level man?" Run? As far as I know, the strongest bat type in the Warcraft Forest [Red-haired Winged Dragon King Bat] is only at level four."
"No, not that one!"
Teabeard knows. It's hard for others to believe what he said, saying: "It's a very large bloodthirsty bat, probably a hell species. They come in groups, at least tens of thousands of them"
"."
Ji Xun actually believed it.
He thought of a dark creature - [Hell Bat].
This is also a hellish creature that usually appears in the same place as the [Cerberus] they encountered before.
Exceptionally huge?
With these two characteristics together, Ji Xun had actually guessed what was going on.
Qin Ruzhi knew what he meant, and interrupted Teabeard's statement with a sneer: "It seems that you don't want to tell the truth anymore."
As soon as these words came out, the revolutionary army cadres on the side also understood each other tacitly. His eyes were as cold as knives as he stared at the big man.
This group of people came from the battlefield, and their murderous intent is not fake.
Rou is a dignified six-level teabeard, and his scalp feels numb when he is stared at.
And I tried it just now. It is impossible to escape by force.
But now I can’t explain it.
“Me, me.”
The strong man stuttered in anxiety.
Seeing that the members of the Great Sword Group were eager to start violent interrogation, he gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, I really entered this place by mistake, and I have no ill intentions towards you. It is not convenient for me to elaborate on the specific reasons. But the longer I stay here, the more dangerous you will be! I beg you to trust me.”
These words sounded a little incoherent.
Humble, anxious, sincere. His expression is full of words.
Everyone in the Great Sword Group became even more confused upon hearing this.
However, Ji Xun understood it completely.
Of course he knew that this guy entered by mistake.
This Teabeard doesn’t know why, but he does.
Because there was originally a lord-level [Hell Two-Headed Dog] here, other monsters did not dare to break in.
The group of bloodthirsty bats knew it, so they chased them around and dispersed.
Teabeard didn't even know why, but he instinctively headed towards this "safe zone".
What he didn’t know was that thanks to Ji Xun and the others, they had disposed of the two-headed dog, otherwise he would have been the food in the mouth of the monster a long time ago.
Qin Rushi pressed again: "Last chance. If you don't tell the truth, don't blame us for being rude!"
"."
Teabeard looked at everyone's expressions and couldn't make up any good excuses at the moment.
He hesitated, his heart was aroused, and he asked with a sneer: "Well, if I tell you the truth, your entire team may suffer, do you still want to hear it?"
If you don’t say it’s for your own good, if you still want to die, don’t blame me!
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.
The atmosphere seemed to be getting weird.
What words will cause disaster if you hear them?
The revolutionary army is not to be scared.
They are more curious than dangerous.
Ji Xunye narrowed his eyes slightly. He had already guessed most of it without the other party speaking.
Could it be that he had mastered some secret and was being hunted by people from the Holy See. Who knew and who was implicated?
The display seemed to be exactly as he expected. Teabeard knew that he could not persuade these people and said bluntly: "I am now being hunted by people from the Holy See! Once I find out that you and I If there is contact, they will definitely implicate you!"
In the Southern Continent, the Holy See is supreme.
No one can protect the people they are chasing, not even the three royal families.
Teabeard originally thought that everyone in the Great Sword Club would be wary of this.
However, I never expected it, but I saw increasingly curious expressions.
Qin Ru's expression did not change at all as he listened. They are not afraid of the Holy See. He asked again: "Oh? Tell me, why is the Holy See chasing you?"
"You "
Teabeard was at a loss for words. He couldn't trust anyone, but now he was in a desperate situation and had no choice.
He looked at everyone, suddenly calmed down, and said: "I have already reminded you of what should be reminded. Since you insist on doing this, I will not stop you. But I said, you can let it go Me?”
Hearing this, Qin Ru said calmly: "Let's talk first."
Tea Beard's eyelids twitched at the understatement.
But just think about it.
If we can bring this group of people to the same front, there might be a chance.
"Okay! Since you dare to listen, I will say it."
He stopped writing and said directly: "A few months ago, our regiment received a recruitment mission from the Holy See. We also often do some official missions on weekdays. Without thinking much, we came to the Warcraft Forest. Regarding our origin and purpose, this Mr. Intelligence Merchant can confirm it for me."
"Then we went all the way to the World of Warcraft Forest, exploring in a general direction designated by the Holy See. Those guys didn't tell us what we were looking for, we just explored along the way. Some heretics."
"Everything was normal before. Although this forest is very dangerous and there are many high-level monsters, we are an experienced group after all. We have lost some brothers along the way, but we have arrived. Near the predetermined area."
"Until half a month ago, we discovered a strange ancient ruins, and everything changed."
"There was a huge pit hanging upside down by gravity. It is like a passage connecting hell. There are many hell monsters that we have never seen before. There are also some large mercenary groups in the pit. Because of the monster attack, our original captain was seriously injured. I wanted to give up the mission, but unexpectedly, the Holy See issued a death decree, requiring us to investigate in depth."
"Then, we inadvertently discovered a 'big secret'."
The story in Teabeard's mouth was similar to what Ji Xun had guessed.
That bottomless pit is the "dead zone" he speculated was blocked by the Holy See.
But when he heard "gravity hanging upside down", he suddenly realized that that place was a little special.
When Teabeard talked about the "big secret", he stopped with worry on his face.
Even though he looked at the group of people in front of him who still looked curious, he still hesitated to say anything.
He didn't tell lies just now.
If you really say it, everyone in front of you will die!
Seeing this, Qin Rushi raised his eyebrows, as if he had gained insight into the secret that the other party wanted to hide.
Now is not the time for ink.
After pondering for a moment, she interrupted the other party's hesitation and said: "The secret you want to say...couldn't it be the death of Emperor Lanlingst and the erased history related to the Dragon God Airel?"
"You"
As soon as these words came out, Teabeard turned pale with fright: "You guys. How do you know?"
"."
Qin Ru said, glancing at Ji Xun from the corner of his eye.
This shocking historical truth to others is actually not much of a secret to them.
They have deduced it before and have already guessed it.
And this is information that we must know, so it doesn’t matter if we ask directly.
Thinking of this, she asked again: "Then, how did you escape?"
Now that the Dead Realm has most likely been blocked by people from the Holy See, this guy can escape alone. , this route and the information he possesses are crucial.
This is what they are in urgent need of right now.
Glancing at the cloth bag that Tea Beard had been trying to hide, Qin Rushi said without mincing words: "Also. If possible, I would like to buy your information and your belongings. By the way, help You solve the trouble of chasing soldiers."
If I felt it right just now, this guy has a hint of a fragment of his godhead.
This is exactly the same as the aura they got from the king snake corpse before!
The Godhead cannot be hidden in ordinary storage spaces.
This is also the reason why this guy has been hunted.
