Ji Xun knew that this was a human being and had nothing to worry about.
He walked over directly and revealed his identity: "Master Ronan, I am a member of the reconnaissance corps sent by the kingdom to investigate the secret passage of demons."
Briefly introduce yourself.
Before he finished speaking, Master Ronan said: "Don't touch the magic-forbidden chain on my body. Otherwise, the devil will discover me."
"."
Ji Xun had no intention of moving at all.
He had just seen that what this guy was tied with was not an ordinary rope, but a rune chain with the effect of banning demons.
But after hearing the old mage speak, there was no change.
He wanted to get more information, but pretended not to know and said, "Devil?"
"good."
Master Ronan didn't say much, and then asked: "Do you have anything else that can prove your identity?"
Ji Xun thought for a while and took out the battle merit card and a few devil horns.
Looking at those devil horns, Master Ronan obviously believed it and said: "No wonder you can come here. Your strength is indeed impressive."
As he spoke, he sighed: "If I guessed correctly, many people in Fallen Eagle Fortress should have been invaded by demon minions. I didn't expect anyone to be able to avoid the demon's eyes and sneak into the dungeon."
Ji Xun was still unsure about the position of the old mage in front of him, so he followed the topic and said tentatively: "When I came here before, I found that many people had problems. Master Ronan, can you tell me what happened?"
This is a standard way of guiding the plot.
Ronan seemed to know that his situation was very bad, and did not hide it. He said directly: "Three months ago, we discovered that the number of demons in the Sawtooth Forest was abnormal. Then we guessed that the demons in the north might have some secret passage through which they could pass through the Wailing Forest.
The abyss, so we have been investigating. Later, we accidentally discovered a very suspicious place, and my old friend led the troops there. He fought a battle with the devil. But after he came back, he became very strange.
He no longer traced the passage and did not arrange for others to go there again. I thought he was injured, so I wanted to lead the team to see it myself. The outcome is as you saw, I am now trapped in the dungeon."
Sure enough, NPC is the one who knows the most about the plot.
Not outsiders like them.
There is a lot of information in the words.
Ji Xun listened carefully to every word in these words.
This is obviously the time when the fortress commander was injured in the battle with the devil as mentioned by those soldiers.
Turns out something fishy was discovered?
Ji Xun was also afraid that something might happen to this guy while he was talking, so he asked directly: "Where is that place? I can go investigate."
With a fearful expression on his face, Ronan said: "Near the Desolate Spire. Thirty kilometers northeast of the fortress, near the edge of the abyss, there is a stone tower. There used to be the graves of soldiers who died bravely in the battle with the demons.
But be careful, those red-eyed bats are the devil’s spies.”
Ji Xun carefully wrote down the coordinates.
Time did not allow for beating around the bush, so he thought about it and asked directly: "Master Ronan, please forgive me. Since you have discovered that there is a problem with the commander, why doesn't he kill you?"
Hearing this, Ronan had an expression of approval and praised: "Young man, you are very thoughtful."
After a pause, he said directly: "My life is connected with the magic restriction of the fortress. This is a military secret that only the commander and I know in the fortress. The fortress itself is also a beacon tower. As long as I die, the beacon fire will
Once the tower is ignited, the kingdom will definitely send people to investigate. So they sealed my magic power and imprisoned it here. I can't even commit suicide."
"."
Ji Xun was suddenly enlightened after hearing this.
No wonder this NPC was locked up in a dungeon instead of being killed once and for all.
Master Ronan didn't hesitate. After finally seeing a kingdom soldier, he directly arranged the task: "If possible, I want you to report the situation of Falling Eagle Fortress back to Thunder Fortress. The demon vanguard has arrived, and the kingdom's senior officials have not yet
If it attracts even the slightest attention, I'm afraid you will suffer big losses later."
After Ji Xun heard this, he also knew that coming to the dungeon would inevitably trigger this plot.
With that, Master Ronan said again: "I will give you the magic key of the fortress. You go to my residence. There is a secret compartment behind the seventh book on the bookshelf. You can find my rune token there. That can prove your
Identity. But be careful, the rune token is necessary to control the fortress boundary authority, and the devil is also looking for that thing."
When Ji Xun heard this, Qidi had already appeared: "Trigger the B-level Legion plot 'Master Ronan's Message'. Before the task is completed, everyone must protect the token holder to return to Thunder Fortress smoothly, otherwise there will be no way
Leave the space. The mission reward is 30,000 merits;"
As he expected.
Arriving at Fallen Eagle Fortress indeed triggered the advanced difficulty plot.
But only B-level?
Ji Xun looked at the content of the mission, but something else came to mind.
Even when Ji Xun was at Fallen Eagle Fortress, three hundred elite members of the Beast Legion had already arrived in the middle of the Sawtooth Forest.
They had long known from intelligence that there was a second-order D-level disaster hidden in the cave here.
This is exactly the goal of their trip.
The trial for the direct members of the Lionheart family requires them to clear a difficult interdimensional space and then personally kill a calamity that is not lower than the second level.
This one is just right for now.
Although they were blocked by the demon army along the way and lost some manpower.
But the combat power of the Beast Legion is not much less.
It's more than enough to hunt down a level 2 calamity.
At this moment, Kahn, the ninth young master of the Lionheart family, was sitting leisurely in the marching tent, drinking coffee, eating desserts, and enjoying the gentle service of two well-behaved army maids.
For a top-notch young man of his level, the mortality rate in another dimension has never mattered to them.
That is something for subordinates to consider.
The legion commander came to the tent, not daring to look directly at the erotic scene of the two female attendants. He lowered his head and asked for instructions: "Master, the vanguard scouts have confirmed that the second-order D-level disaster is in the cave ahead. Please give instructions!
"
While playing with the girl's beautiful body, Kahn said lazily: "Just follow the plan."
"yes."
The commander performed a military salute and said: "The beast army will first lead out the demons and maim them, and then the young master will hunt and peel off the demon horns. But before that, young master, you may have to prepare your armor in advance, and the record officer will record you."
Some magical images of battle.”
With an impatient expression on his face, Kahn stood up from the gentle bodies of the two women and said, "I know."
The legion commander did not dare to say anything and exited the tent.
As long as the disaster is killed, this mission will be complete.
But after exiting the tent, the commander's palpitations that had just been vaguely felt became more intense.
Suddenly he transformed into a beast, revealing a pair of fox ears.
Like most of the warriors of the Beast Legion, he follows the [Four of Spades - Beast Walker] career sequence.
But the main material of professional cards is not a beast.
It is a very rare monster [Flash Fox] that was fused.
This gave him an extraordinary ability to perceive crises.
The commander didn't know where this sense of crisis came from.
He raised his head and looked at the several beacon towers lit up in the distance. Instead of being relaxed, the expression on his face became serious. He asked loudly: "What's going on at the beacon tower over there? Is there any news?"
Although people had been sent there before, the sixth beacon tower still lit up.
In other words, something might have gone wrong with the elite team they sent.
But it's still unclear whether it was stopped by a monster or for other reasons.
Although the commander does not think that any first-level card masters can pose a threat to the five-man elite team of their beast army.
But the uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.
Obviously the people recruited this time are just some cannon fodder hunters, how could there be such a powerful character?
This can't help but make people suspect that that person may be coming for his young master.
The messenger responded: "We have sent people there again, but there is no intelligence feedback yet."
Commander: "Where are the other places?"
Messenger soldier: "The remaining beacon towers have also been sent for reconnaissance. Some key intersections to the north of the Sawtooth Forest have also been stationed to intercept. No one will intrude into the high-risk area in the northern part of the forest."
"."
The commander nodded after listening to his subordinate's report, and felt a little more at ease.
Could it be that I am too nervous and worry too much?
Now they hold the key information of the C-level plot. If they don't complete the mission, no one can get out.
The initiative is entirely in their hands.
It was discovered that the beacon tower had been lit, and additional manpower was deployed to block roads at key passes in the forest.
Theoretically, they have eliminated all factors that may affect their young master's trial.
However, the surprise still came.
It came very suddenly.
Before the commander could even breathe a sigh of relief.
Without any warning, everyone in the Beast Legion saw the enlightenment.
Looking at the plot mission of "delivering Master Ronan's message back to Thunder Fortress", everyone in the Beast Legion widened their eyes.
because,
This mission was not triggered by them!
The huge camp instantly felt like facing a formidable enemy.
The commander shouted: "Damn it! Who triggered the B-level difficulty plot?!"
Highly difficult plots cannot be triggered by triggering. Without that strength, it is simply impossible.
What's more, the C-level plot has not yet been completed, and the follow-up clues are unclear. How did that person trigger the B-level?
No one can leave until this B-level mission is completed.
This means that they can't get out either!
This is war mode. Even for elites like them, the staff team estimates that the mortality rate for B-level difficulty is over 40%.
However, they didn't expect that the surprise didn't stop there.
Not long after, Enlightenment appeared again.
In the dungeon of Fallen Eagle Fortress.
Ji Xun looked at the B-level messenger mission that Qidi appeared, his eyes flew, and his mind was already thinking about the various plots that would happen after receiving the mission.
Even if you haven't gotten that "magic token" yet.
He could also guess that, like the devil's horn, it was probably a special item that could not be stored in space.
It will also leak traces for some reasons and attract demons.
If he sends the message all the way back to Thunder Fortress, he will definitely be hunted down by the demon army.
oh,
There is also the pursuit of the beast army!
Ji Xun doesn't think it's a good choice to get that thing by himself now.
And, most importantly.
He felt that this intensity was not enough.
"According to the current plot difficulty, B-level difficulty can only include a few second-level ordinary demons."
Ji Xun estimated the difficulty of the B-level plot based on the previous D-level difficulty.
It was quickly concluded,
This will cause the Beast Legion to suffer some losses,
But it's not enough to destroy the group.
If you beat the snake but don't die, the consequences will be endless.
It just triggered a B-level plot.
This is obviously not what is expected.
The only really good news is that even before the mission is completed, those guys from the Beast Legion can't get out.
Moreover, making trouble is one thing.
Clearing levels is also part of the fun.
Ji Xun also felt that completing this message delivery mission was not the correct way to clear the level.
It's just the middle part.
The ultimate information that all clues currently point to is the "Secret Passage of the Demons".
He thought of something else.
When Ji Xun saw this mission, a bolder plan suddenly appeared in his mind.
The Beast Legion is Ji Xun's biggest threat right now.
But from some perspectives, it is also a benefit.
Those guys chose to recruit two hundred hunters to serve as bait.
So in Ji Xun's eyes, there is no better bait than the Beast Legion!
To protect the young master, they must concentrate their forces.
Just like the time in the Great Cemetery Maze, such a large target can definitely attract the firepower of most demons in the Sawtooth Forest.
It's still the "Battle of the Outposts".
This means that the number of demon legions coming to the Sawtooth Forest is not too large.
Judging from the current intelligence, they are lurking in the forest and slowly infiltrating the three major fortresses.
There is no large-scale attack now simply because they thought the invasion plan had not been exposed and the fortress penetration had not met expectations.
But what if it is exposed in advance?
Ji Xun was certain that if the demon army knew that the plan was exposed, they would definitely choose to attack the three major fortresses in advance regardless of the cost.
Otherwise, all arrangements will be in vain.
At that time, all the hidden demons will come out in full force.
However, if there is a super powerful army like the Beast Legion operating in the Sawtooth Forest, it will definitely attract the main force of the demons immediately.
This is also a huge benefit to Ji Xun.
He is crazy and conceited, but he is not blindly willing to die.
Because he already has an idea for completing the level!
If the plan develops as he expected, it is very possible to pass the customs.
Because the number of the demon army is limited!
Once a full-scale war breaks out and the beast army attracts the main force of the demon army, the number of demons in other places will be greatly reduced.
For example: near that secret passage!
Ji Xun's inquiry just now has given him clues about the direction of the passage, which is near the "Desolate Spire".
If you think about it with your buttocks, you will know that such an important place must be heavily guarded.
If he dives rashly, even with a relic-level invisibility cloak, Ji Xun doesn't have much confidence.
But now someone's drawing firepower,
There is no better opportunity than this!
But the only thing that is not ideal now is that the monsters are not strong enough.
Allowing adventurers to enter an extra-dimensional space is definitely not a way to die.
Rather, it was assessed that with so many people coming in, they would be able to handle the number of monsters of corresponding difficulty.
But the current B-level difficulty is definitely not strong enough to wipe out an elite army like the Beast Legion.
Needs a higher level of difficulty!
In any other place, it would be impossible to detonate this plan.
But just now Ji Xun captured a very important message from Master Ronan's words: as soon as he dies, the Fallen Eagle Fortress will ignite the beacon of war.
Both demons and humans will know immediately that something is wrong!
This is much more direct than sending a letter or something.
Once the devil knows that the plan is exposed, he will definitely choose to attack in advance.
Extra-dimensional space is a random plot mode. Even if you receive a mission, you can change the depth of the exploration!
Thinking of this, Ji Xun looked at the old mage in front of him and suddenly said: "Master Ronan, to tell you the truth, the situation may be more critical than you think. The demon army has spread all over the Sawtooth Forest. After my investigation, I am sure
There are also demons in the Thunder Fortress. With just our small force, we can no longer defend the northern fortress."
After a pause, he added: "If I send the letter now, it doesn't matter whether it can be delivered smoothly. The time consumed by this process will also give the demons in other fortresses time to prepare. And if I am exposed, it will be even more difficult.
Losing the only little advantage we currently have."
Master Ronan obviously understood the underlying meaning of his words.
After pondering for a moment, a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Young man, you are more courageous than I thought."
When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't say anything more.
As long as the old man understands.
No matter this extra-dimensional space is a parallel world or some other existence.
The character of the old mage is destined to end tragically.
And it’s time to make a decision from a rational perspective.
The longer this drags on, the worse the situation of the human camp will be in this third Holy Grail War.
Ji Xun's hint is also very obvious. Only when the old mage dies can the news be conveyed as quickly as possible.
Even if the old man doesn't agree.
Ji Xun will also help him.
But obviously, Master Luonan understands the righteousness deeply.
Those kind eyes looked at Ji Xun, obviously they had made the sacrifice.
But he suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the task: "If you were in the same situation, would you make the same choice as me?"
Ji Xun was looked directly at by that wise gaze, and he didn't think that the old mage in front of him was an NPC at all.
This question is like a collision of human wisdom and morality from two time and space.
He thought for a while and said calmly: "If I were you, I would. But I am me. I will deal with any problems I encounter in my own way. My beliefs will not be changed by the situation."
Master Ronan listened and smiled.
"You are the most brilliant young man I have seen in recent years."
He seemed to agree with this answer and nodded: "There is a magical secret book hidden on the bookshelf of my residence. It records my research on the demon clan over the years. I gave it to my little friend. The war is much more than this. I hope you can do this.
As you said, you will continue to walk on the road to the future with firm belief."
"."
Ji Xun is not sure whether this triggered a hidden plot in another dimension, or whether the old man really wanted to give a gift before he died.
Suddenly for a moment, he felt that this kind of person should not die.
Even if they are plot characters in an alternate dimension.
Ji Xun thought of something else.
Thoughts that have nothing to do with extradimensional space.
Who can guarantee that I am not a plot character in the eyes of some higher dimensional beings?
But time no longer allowed for any further hesitation.
With a flash of thought, Ji Xun cut through the magic-forbidden chain with a knife.
This chain has been broken, and the demons outside will notice it immediately.
Ji Xun didn't dare to stop, "Farewell!"
With a sound, he rushed towards the exit of the dungeon.
Just as Ji Xun arrived at the exit, he suddenly felt a violent surge of magic power coming from behind him.
As if some switch was triggered, the entire fortress lit up with dazzling magic runes, and a beam of blue light shot into the sky.
The beacon tower of Fallen Eagle Fortress was lit!
At the same time, enlightenment has appeared: "The beacon tower of Fallen Eagle Fortress has been lit, triggering an unexpected plot 'The devil's plan is exposed, and the fortress war begins'. The devil knows that his plan has been exposed, and the eight devil commanders hidden in the Sawtooth Forest will take action.
Attack three fortresses. The fortresses have been closed and no one can return to the fortresses. The plot difficulty has been raised to A."
Ji Xun was not surprised.
This kind of plot is worthy of A-level difficulty.
He hid in the darkness and quietly observed the dungeon.
Almost as soon as the blue light came on, a figure rushed into the dungeon very quickly.
The compass in his hand was spinning rapidly, and he knew it was the second-level disaster disguised as the commander.
Immediately, the sounds of fierce fighting resounded in the dungeon.
Ji Xun didn't dare to delay. With the old mage helping him drag the monster, this was the best time to get the thing.
He rushed towards the tallest buildings in the fortress.
On the other hand, in the Sawtooth Forest.
The members of the Beast Legion were still shocked who triggered the "B-level plot".
However, as soon as the enlightenment of this "A-level plot" appeared,
Everyone was shocked.
The legion commander looked even more horrified: "Damn it! Who is it!"
He is still sure to pay a certain price to pass the B-level plot.
However, in the A-level difficulty of war mode, even with such a well-equipped beast army, the mortality rate is absolutely high.
The loss of the Beast Legion is a trivial matter, but if Master Kahn is injured, the trouble will really be big.
Everyone in the beast army was shocked and frightened.
Even Young Master Kahn frowned when he saw the "A-level plot" on Enlightenment.
However, what was more, the offended cold anger, "Tsk tsk. Did you pay attention to hit me on the head?"
Equally confused are those demons.
They never expected that human reinforcements were still in the south of the forest.
Why was the beacon tower of Fallen Eagle Fortress lit?
But the fact is that the beacon tower of Fallen Eagle Fortress is lit.
Their invasion plan has been exposed.
If you point the beacon tower of the fortress, reinforcements from the human kingdom will come.
Although the layout has not yet met expectations, I can't wait any longer.
Must act immediately!
Almost as soon as the beacon lighted up, all the demons lurking near the mountains were ordered to attack in advance.
Countless bat clones gathered into a tall figure in the dense forest. This is the second-level A-level disaster [Thunder Bat Commander Mitte];
A big flaming snake also crawled out of the Red Ridge Cave, which was a second-order A-level disaster [Bone Snake Commander Tuttle];
There is also the second-order A-level disaster [Heart-Taking Commander Buck] lurking in Thunder Fortress;
The second-level B-level [Toad Commander Humke] hidden in the poisonous swamp of the Sawtooth Forest also slowly crawled out of the quagmire;
Bone Mountain
ancient cemetery
Throughout the vast Sawtooth Forest, eight hidden demon commanders appeared one after another. Each of them led an army of tens of thousands of demons and launched a fierce attack on the three fortresses!
The target of the attack at the same time was the human army in the forest.
