Chapter 123 Cursed Witch (Please subscribe and vote monthly)
When Ji Xun saw this scene, he suddenly sneered: "Is there really someone doing something secretly?"
He didn't think Dong Qi's abnormality just now was a surprise.
But the third party force behind the scenes took action.
That being the case.
After watching the battle end, Ji Xun didn't hide anymore.
He swaggered out of the darkness, his appearance and attire changed into that of the unlucky guy he had quietly killed just now.
The battle scene was a mess.
Although the brothers of the Brotherhood won, it was a miserable victory.
Seeing the corpses on the ground and the seriously injured people wailing in a pool of blood, this group of gangsters cursed angrily.
"What a fool! Those guys from Honglou killed more than thirty of our brothers!"
"Who the hell knows where these guys in Hong Lou got so many heavy weapons."
"."
Artest also looked gloomy.
Insufficient prediction of the enemy,
This time it was a heavy loss.
But this is obviously not the time.
He called to all the younger brothers: "Clean up the battlefield and leave here first."
The fighting time just now has exceeded expectations, and things will change later.
At this time, several armored vehicles also drove over.
Ji Xun mingled in the crowd and saw that Dong Qi was trapped in a car in the middle. The moment the car door closed, he also jumped on it.
"Clang" close the door.
The modified armored vehicle drove away at high speed.
At this time, someone also noticed Ji Xun who got into the wrong car and asked, "Pheasant, why did you get into our car?"
Ji Xun also looked like he was stunned by the battle just now, and apologized repeatedly: "Oops, I got on the wrong car."
Those people obviously didn't care: "Forget it, the cars are driving. That's it."
These seven or eight bastards didn't care about the extra person. Instead, they looked at Dong Qilai, who was tied up with a large steel wire in the carriage.
So many people died just now. Naturally, these people don't have a good temper, and all of them have dirty mouths.
But because there were no gaps in the full-body armor, these people had nothing to do.
"Dong Qi, this bitch, I will make her regret falling into my hands later!"
"I've wanted to get this bitch for a long time. Damn it, guys like Hong Lou have been so arrogant recently."
"But this mechanical armor is really evil, how do you dismantle it?"
"."
Someone tried to unlock the almost completely sealed mechanical armor, but suddenly a sharp blade popped out and cut off three of the man's fingers.
Several people also knew about this situation, and Dong Qi was still conscious.
"ah!"
A painful scream sounded in the carriage, and blood was sprinkled all over the carriage.
Just as a few people were about to draw their guns, Artest, who was sitting at the front of the car, opened the window and took a look: "Don't touch her yet. Dong Qi is still useful. When the matter is settled, everyone will be happy."
"Yes, boss."
Several people in the carriage finally endured their anger and sat down.
The guy with the broken finger couldn't hold back his anger and kicked twice, but it seemed like he had hit a steel plate, causing another twitching pain in the corner of his eye.
Ji Xun was observing silently in the corner.
There are two first-level captains in the carriage, and the remaining five are card master apprentices, who can be killed with a flip of their hands.
The only threat is Artest sitting in front.
This is also the goal of his trip.
But under the current circumstances, it is almost impossible to capture Artest alive in a short time.
What's more, there are "third-party" forces involved.
If there is a real fight, big changes will happen.
Ji Xun didn't think it was a good opportunity to take action now.
But something has to be done.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Dong Qi, who was unable to move, and Ji Xun's eyes gradually deepened.
He looked at the traffic outside.
I didn't take action right away because I just wanted to go further.
Thinking about the "third party" people, they might leave after confirming that the Brotherhood successfully took Dong Qi away.
Only in this way can we really have a chance to save people.
The armored vehicle sped towards the outside of the city.
Before I knew it, it was several kilometers away.
During this section of the road, Ji Xun had an impression in his mind of the ruins of the rotten bridge in the East Fourth District. He had visited it before when he was a corpse collector.
There are only a few wanderers in this area, as well as a large number of ruined buildings, and the terrain is very complex.
If you go further, you will have to leave the city.
"about there."
Ji Xun thought about it.
Sudden!
He got violent!
Before anyone in the carriage could react, Ji Xun, who was sitting silently on a stool, flashed a cold light in his hand.
Without hesitation, he stabbed the first-order squad leader in the eye socket with his knife, and blood spurted out instantly.
At the same time, he turned around and kicked the other first-order captain's neck hard, causing a cracking sound in the bones.
Because it was a sneak attack, the huge force prevented the two of them from having any time to react, and they died suddenly on the spot.
The remaining four people were shocked. These guys hadn't realized that there were outsiders among their companions, and shouted: "Pheasant, what the hell are you doing!"
Ji Xun will not give a few people a chance to stop him. The murderous intention of the Langya Fengfeng Fist is hidden, and the shadow of the fist is like the wind.
The individual combat power of the gangsters was much worse than those of the Beast Legion, and they did not have any good equipment. After killing the two first-level team captains, the remaining few were killed in the blink of an eye just as they were about to draw their guns.
Got it clean.
The whole process from Ji's violence to the end only takes two or three seconds.
At this time, Artest in front also sensed the sudden burst of murderous intent, and turned around just in time to see the "Pheasant" kill the last two minions. His expression changed suddenly, and he already understood that there were enemies in the car, and he cursed angrily:
"Damn it!"
But he was at the front of the car, and when he turned around, Ji Xun had already jumped out of the carriage with the bundled Dong Qi on his shoulders.
Ji Xun was not prepared to transform and reveal his identity. As soon as he jumped out of the car, he happened to be on a carefully selected viaduct.
He carried people and jumped down without hesitation!
With a glance out of the corner of his eye, Artest, who was filled with terrifying magic power, also jumped down.
Ji Xun sneered. As soon as he raised his arm, the steel cable on the mechanical arm popped out instantly and changed direction in the air.
That Artest is indeed extraordinary.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he suddenly sank down and accelerated to the ground, then stepped on the ground and chased after him all the way.
Jump off a bridge or smash against a wall, and the speed is not slow at all.
But Ji Xun's expression showed nothing unusual.
He didn't stop, he was just worried about the "third party".
Rather than an Artest.
If he really wanted to run away, even if he was carrying a person on his back, he was confident that his current agility would be able to get rid of him.
What's more, the terrain here is so complex.
Sure enough.
After Ji Xun borrowed the steel rope to jump several times, he suddenly jumped around the corner into a culvert leading to the ground.
Artest was not good at tracking, and now that he lost his target, he immediately ran around like a headless fly.
Ji Xun's eyes turned cold as he listened to the roaring outside.
After observing it, this culvert seems to be very deep, and there is air circulation inside, so the internal structure must be very complicated.
He didn't dare to delay, and started running wildly through the developed underground pipes with Dong Qi on his back.
While running, he also took out two [deodorizing agents] and poured them on himself and Dong Qi on his shoulders.
At the same time, great care was taken not to leave any traces.
It's easy to get rid of Artest.
But for others, it's hard to say.
Ji Xun had seen the scene where Dong Qi was tricked before, and he guessed that the "third party" who took action should be a mysterious spell card master.
This kind of card master usually has some tracking methods that are difficult to detect.
Ji Xun did not dare to be careless and laid some warning traps along the road.
After running all the way deep underground, he realized that he had arrived at a huge underground space.
After observing it, I found that the surrounding area was very open, with pipes extending in all directions, allowing you to advance and retreat.
You can still hear the faint sound of water.
When Ji Xun came here, he stopped.
He put Dong Qi down from his shoulder.
Dong Qi remained silent.
But Ji Xun knew that she was awake.
Until now, the armor has not been unlocked, and it is probably suspected that this "rescue" itself is part of the enemy's conspiracy.
If she really takes off her armor, she will really be at the mercy of others.
Ji Xun also understands this caution.
He didn't hesitate and said directly: "You were plotted just now. It may be that a mysterious card master left some mark on you. Think about it carefully. Only if you can eliminate the mark in advance can you be completely safe."
"."
When Dong Qi heard this, he also felt that it was reasonable.
But she still behaved very cautiously.
After all, how could it be such a coincidence that someone just kidnapped me and someone came to rescue me on the way?
After a moment of silence, she asked directly without mincing words: "Who are you, Your Excellency?"
Ji Xun didn't feel like he had anything to hide, and said: "We met once at old Benson's ancient book shop. At that time, I needed a multi-element breathing method, and you pointed me to the black market 'Silver Star Mystery Shop'.
"
"Is it you?"
When Dong Qi heard this, his tone was obviously very surprised.
It feels like a dream.
If the other party makes up any background, she will remain suspicious.
But by chance, this man said something that she had never thought of.
Of course she was impressed.
It wasn't what happened at Bensenpu, she didn't care at all at that time.
But later I heard the gang's deacon talk about the chase in the black market.
At that time, the deacon in the gang mentioned that she had introduced a very powerful young man, and Dong Qi himself was very surprised.
I just thought it was pleasing to see the man giving bread to the beggar, so I made a casual comment.
I didn't expect that there would be such a big commotion.
Later, I checked and found that the man seemed to be a wanted criminal related to Governor Cao's family.
But there was no news after that.
Dong Qi didn't take it to heart.
I didn't expect to encounter it now.
Still saved yourself in this situation?
Except for the bookstore owner, no one else was present at that Benson Shop encounter.
This identity doesn't sound like he's telling lies.
But isn’t that guy a card master apprentice?
The ability he showed just now to escape from Artest's hands is not something that ordinary people can do.
Dong Qi asked directly: "How could you be in the brotherhood's car?"
Ji Xundao: "I want the follow-up to that breathing technique. Only Artai knows about this breathing technique, so I followed him."
He didn't hide it either.
After all, this breathing method was learned from Dong Qi’s mouth.
The most important point is that Ji Xun himself is not sure that he will be able to get all the information from Artai.
A master of that level would not be able to survive so easily.
And Dong Qi, a veteran gangster, has a very special identity, and may know the origin of Artest's breathing technique.
"."
When Dong Qiyi heard this, he believed most of it.
Logic and all that makes sense.
However, she still couldn't figure out why it was such a coincidence.
And even if this identity is true, could this person have an ulterior motive for saving him?
This kind of master is not something that can be cultivated by Innocence City, but more like the subordinates of those nobles.
She has not forgotten that she was plotted just now.
Dong Qi's thoughts were very confused now. He couldn't think through anything and didn't say anything.
Ji Xun didn't expect the other party to believe him after just two sentences.
He looked around and directly expressed Dong Qi's doubts at the moment, saying: "The 'third party' behind the scenes who is plotting against you is very powerful. I can't guarantee that someone will really chase you after a while, and I can still take you to escape. If
I am invincible”
Before he could finish his words, Dong Qi interrupted and said, "If I can't defeat you, you don't have to worry about me."
After saying that, she added in a sincere tone: "No matter what, thank you for saving me."
It's instinct to be cautious.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have survived as long as she did in the gangsters of Innocence City.
But her intuition told Dong Qi that this person had no ill intentions towards her.
"."
Ji Xun didn't say much as he listened.
He also heard the extraordinary courage from Dong Qi's tone.
Now that people have been saved, it can be regarded as repaying the karmic love.
But whether he can survive is another matter.
Ji Xun asked again: "Can you leave now?"
Dong Qi responded truthfully: "No. My leg bone is broken. I can't stand up at all."
She was very aware of her condition. If the injury was not treated, she would not be able to walk at all.
But if you take off the armor, there is no guarantee of safety.
Ji Xun frowned as he listened.
He didn't ask anything inappropriate, but asked: "Did the bones break before due to external force, or was it a mysterious spell?"
When Dong Qi heard this question, she was also thinking about it. After pondering for a moment, she said: "It should be a mysterious spell. The place where my bones were broken is tightly protected by armor, and it is impossible for external forces to hurt it."
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, he also fell into deep thought.
The mysterious card master can be strong or weak. There are too few ways to expose it now, and he doesn't know what the opponent's situation is.
However, before he could ask any more questions, at this moment, without warning, Enlightenment appeared: "You have been exempted from the curse damage of the 'Weeping Ghost' once."
"I'm really chasing you!"
Ji Xun's pupils shrank suddenly.
He quickly analyzed in his mind: "The curse-based method, Dong Qi's attack before returning to control the ghost, should also be a curse technique."
Several career sequences have the ability to control the undead. But looking at this bizarre method, he suddenly thought of the [4 of Hearts-Witch] career path.
Card masters in this mysterious sequence are good at all kinds of dark magic, curses and ghost-controlling secrets.
A thought flashed through.
Ji Xun instantly made a judgment in his mind.
No wonder he approached without triggering any of the arranged mechanisms. It turned out that the exorcist had avoided the trap in the passage.
This method is quite clever.
Before the person comes, use evil spirits to control the person first.
He had read about the curse attack of [The Wailing Ghost] in the classics. It was a necromantic curse. Once haunted, the person's will will continue to weaken until he passes out.
Ji Xun didn't need to look, he knew there must be an evil ghost behind him.
It's a pity that he has two clay pots on him that can prevent curses.
Not to mention such low-level evil spirits, even existences as high as the Weeping Angel are useless.
Ji Xun didn't know what the enemy's methods were before, he wasn't sure yet.
Now there is.
The methods of professionals in the mysterious department are really weird and difficult to guard against.
But once you can control it.
The threat is greatly reduced.
Ji Xun has a clay pot that can prevent curses, and a clown mask that can exempt most mysterious spells below the third level.
Then for him, the combat risks can be roughly assessed.
The second level can kill with a high probability.
You can't beat it at level 3, but your chances of saving your life are 50-50!
As for higher levels, it's unlikely.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's eyes were eager to try.
As long as he could kill, he would never think of escaping.
"I just don't know if it's one person or several."
Ji Xun connected various clues in his mind and made a guess.
He felt that there was a high probability that there was only one.
After all, it's just Dong Qi who is specialized in the mechanical system, and the Curse spell can restrain all kinds of mechanical armors.
Moreover, Artest is originally the main attacker of the Brotherhood, so there is no need for many people to come.
Ji Xun remained calm, estimated the time, and fainted at the right time.
And that [Weeping Ghost] came for Ji Xun alone.
Dong Qi, who was leaning against the wall, was still awake.
Looking at Ji Xun who suddenly fainted, her expression changed and she shouted urgently: "What's wrong with you?"
But no matter how she shouted, Ji Xun made no move.
Dong Qi also knew that the situation was not good.
At this time, the explosion of an early warning bomb came from the corridor in the distance.
There wasn't much movement, but it was very clear in this empty underground.
In this case, someone is obviously coming.
Dong Qi's mood also sank to the bottom.
She struggled to raise her hand and ejected several missiles, trying to make a final counterattack.
But suddenly, the familiar feeling from before came again!
Just hearing a crisp "click" sound, Dong Qi found that the bones of his arm were also broken.
Seeing this, she had already confirmed that someone had placed a "directional curse" on her body!
But it's too late.
At this time, in the passage they had entered before, a mysterious man in a cloak walked in: "I didn't expect you, Hong Lou, to have such a deep secret in the Brotherhood."
Her voice sounded like that of a standard vicious old woman.
The old woman glanced at Ji Xun on the ground, and then said, "If I hadn't followed him for a while, you would have been rescued and escaped."
Seeing this, Dong Qi finally confirmed that the person who saved him just now was not with the enemy.
Although she couldn't move, she wasn't too panicked. Gangsters have a very open mind about life and death: "Who are you? Haha, you are definitely not from the Brotherhood. Let me guess. The Cao family of the Governor's Mansion? Lion
The Xin family? Or some noble family?"
Dong Qi is not stupid, and now he is watching the "third party" appear.
She already knew that Hong Lou and the Brotherhood were being plotted against.
This is because of someone else's plan, to irritate and consume each other.
When either of these two gangs is eliminated, the other will be severely damaged.
The pattern of Innocence City will change immediately.
Control of the Nuggets Pier will also completely change hands.
As for who it is, it can only be the aristocracy that benefits the most.
The old woman had no intention of saying more, and said with a sinister smile: "Who I am is not important anymore. What is important is you. Now that I have shown up, I will definitely not let you, a little girl, go back alive."
Dong Qi also knew this very well, she knew that she would definitely die.
Looking at the doll with deformed limbs in the old woman's hand, she guessed something: "You also bought people around me?"
"yes."
The old woman has nothing to hide. Now that the spell has been exposed, there is no point in hiding it. "Tsk, tsk, this place is not bad, clean."
People can't be killed yet.
This old woman had the playful attitude of a cat catching a mouse and wanted to chat more with her prey.
However, the accident happened again!
Without any warning, an evil spirit beside her seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly it exploded in warning.
The old woman's face also changed suddenly: "Not good!"
However, before she could react, the guy who was lying unconscious not far from her feet suddenly became violent!
The man swooped over and transformed from his human form into a terrifying werewolf in mid-air.
This kind of distance is absolutely fatal to the fragile mysterious card master!
Before the old woman had time to react, the werewolf had already pounced on her face.
At the same time, a sharp scalpel directly cut through the curse shield and stabbed her forehead.
He was about to be killed on the spot.
Dong Qi, who was lying on the side watching this sudden scene, was also dumbfounded.
She was already in despair, but she didn't expect that the man was pretending to be in a coma!
I can't hide my anticipation in my heart, but I'm also worried: the enemy is a second-level card master!
At this moment, the mutation reappeared.
The scalpel pierced the old woman's forehead, and the moment it touched the skin, the texture changed from flesh and blood tissue to stiff wood.
Ji Xun stabbed it in with a knife, and there was a "clang" sound.
A wooden puppet with the same height fell out of the cloak.
This is clearly a secret escape method similar to [puppet stand-in].
At the same time, a black shadow shot out like lightning and merged into the darkness in an instant.
When Ji Xun saw this, the green gleaming wolf eyes were filled with coldness: "Want to escape? How could I let you escape!"
The werewolf's five senses allowed him to clearly hear, smell, and sense the exact direction of the old woman's escape.
The moment the sword missed, he gave chase.
Now that they were fighting, Ji Xun had determined that the opponent was just a second-level mysterious card master with relatively special abilities.
[4 of Hearts-Witch] is the second-level profession [Curse Witch]!
With his current agility attribute, third-level non-assassin card masters are chasing him, let alone a second-level cloth-armored witch?
The old woman was also frightened by the werewolf chasing behind her and fled in panic.
As she ran, bubbles seemed to bubble all over her body, and all kinds of black shadows popped out.
For a while, there was a dark wind blowing in the corridor, and ghosts were crying and wolves were howling.
Ji Xun, who was chasing after him, received countless enlightenments in an instant.
"You were exempted from the curse damage of the 'Blood-clothed Evil Spirit' once."
"You are exempted from the mental damage of the 'Horrible Bride' once."
"You suffered a minor mental injury."
It's a pity that most of them are mysterious methods.
To others, being haunted by dozens of evil spirits may cause chaos or death in an instant.
But for Ji Xun, most of them were exempted.
What's more!
The distance just now, even if she misses once, is definitely not something that this old woman with a body as weak as skin and bones can run away.
Witches who are good at controlling ghosts are the same as psychics. Don't get entangled with any evil spirits, just kill the controller.
Ji Xun didn't pay attention to those evil spirits and undead spirits. The next second the other party made his move, he had already appeared on the old woman's back again.
It was another sharp knife that could destroy Laohua, and it plunged in without mercy.
The old woman was not killed by the knife, and some highly toxic acid gushed out from the wound on her back.
Ji Xun avoided it keenly.
Although a little skin was burned, the werewolf's fur was thick and the impact was not significant.
As soon as he drew out the knife, he gesticulated with the shining knife and chased after him.
At this moment, in the eyes of the old woman, the werewolf behind her was a hundred times more terrifying than the evil ghost, haunting her like a nightmare.
She wanted to escape, but she couldn't.
The feeling was like carrying a werewolf on your back, carrying the murderous intention along with you, and it lingered on.
One knife!
One knife!
Another knife!
The old woman used secret skills to hold up many knives.
But the werewolf behind him showed no signs of being repelled by the evil ghost.
He stabbed himself in the body with a knife.
The old woman was so frightened that she lost consciousness.
She never expected that her situation, which was almost certain, would take a sudden turn for the worse.
Will he be forced to a dead end by a first-level card master?
Why is my curse spell completely useless?
The evil ghosts I have carefully raised for decades are of no use?
The old woman began to doubt herself.
She probably never imagined until her death that Mr. Ji possesses many treasures and is specialized in defeating all kinds of mysterious card masters.
However, another knife stabbed him in the heart.
The old woman was completely desperate.
Knowing that she was bound to die, she thought of her mission, her face turned flat, and her eyes were determined.
She bit the tip of her tongue and spit out a mouthful of black blood on the doll in her hand.
Ji Xun also noticed the old woman's actions.
But just by vomiting blood, she lost her last chance to escape.
Ji Xun cut her throat with a cold knife.
Looking at the corpse, the magic power began to overflow in time and space.
He knew he had finally killed him.
“There are really enough ways to save one’s life.”
Ji Xun looked at the corpse on the ground and complained.
I just killed dozens of people, which would have killed anyone with a second-level melee combat system.
This old woman has survived until now.
But looking at the blood-stained doll, Ji Xun realized something was not right.
He didn't stop where he was, he picked up the corpse by its hair and dragged it all the way back.
And the other side.
Dong Qi still hasn't figured out what happened just now.
But in the blink of an eye, she saw a scene in front of her that she would never forget.
A tall werewolf dragged a corpse back, like the mythical dog-headed god of death, dragging the dead to hell.
The man dragged the body towards him.
This scene is very oppressive.
Some of her perceptions were torn apart horribly and violently.
