The hunters looked at the guy with his head pierced, and were stunned for a moment before they realized: "Enemy attack!"
"Quick! Watch out for the archers!"
Everyone picked up their equipment and looked around for a hiding place, fearing that a cold arrow would hit their heads at the next moment.
Ji Xun glanced at the direction of the arrow's trajectory from the corner of his eye, and saw only darkness. He exclaimed in his heart: "What a brilliant stealth method. Is he a disaster-level demon archer?"
But obviously, the danger goes beyond cold arrows.
Just after this arrow, dense footsteps sounded in the surrounding dense forest.
Ji Xun's ears twitched slightly, and he discerned a rough number, frowning slightly: "At least several hundred."
At first it was like a slight movement of ants climbing, but soon it was like a roaring flood.
When everyone took a look, all kinds of little demons, big demons with sticks, hellhounds, and lava slimes from all directions in the forest were surrounding the team.
What came was not a small group of enemies, but an army of monsters!
The little devil has tried it before, and it is probably as strong as Katu's.
But those big demons that are more than two meters tall can withstand bullets, which obviously has the combat effectiveness of a formal card master.
Among the monsters, there was also a gray-skinned giant that was more than five meters tall and had an ugly face.
Extremely eye-catching!
【Giant Demon】
Detailed explanation: A first-order D-level disaster, a demon with giant blood, it has powerful strength and thick skin;
When the hunters saw this, they cursed one after another: "Damn it! How could it be so unlucky to encounter an army of monsters as soon as we arrived!"
Ji Xun quickly looked at the monster Chao, but his expression didn't change much.
He wasn't surprised at all when he encountered a monster.
But what surprised him was that they didn't meet each other along the way, but they met here?
"Is this an ambush by a demon?"
Thinking of something, Ji Xun suddenly sneered in his heart: "Oh, that Young Master Kahn really doesn't reveal any information at all."
Things are so bad here.
I can imagine that the situation of other teams is definitely not good either.
Just from this encounter, not many of the two hundred hunters would survive.
But in fact, this can be avoided.
Because someone has already come in once before, the relevant information about the D-class mission has been spread.
But the information Ji Xun bought before was all about space rewards and the like, and there was absolutely nothing about plot missions.
It's not that the information dealer doesn't know.
Instead, someone paid a higher price and monopolized the information.
You don't have to think twice to know that they are the Lionheart family.
But those guys knew that they would be ambushed by monsters in the Sawtooth Forest, but they didn't reveal it at all before.
Still let everyone divide their forces to complete the "Beacon Tower Mission".
Ji Xun also guessed why.
Without changing the development of the original plot, the information in the hands of those guys will be more valuable.
Moreover, once the hunters die, the guaranteed death rate will be filled up immediately.
The triggering probability of "unexpected plot" will be the lowest.
This is of great benefit to those in the Lionheart family.
Before I had time to think too much, the battle had already been triggered.
Seeing that they were surrounded by monsters, the hunters turned pale with fear, but they also took out various weapons and began to attack.
Ordinary firearms can still be used, and long-range weapons are firearms and crossbows.
"Bang", "bang", "bang".
"Whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh".
The battle also became fierce in an instant.
But the number of monsters was dozens of times greater than theirs, and the firepower of a dozen hunters simply couldn't stop the monster legions.
However, after a few breaths, the demon group rushed into the flat ground where they were resting and started a fierce close combat.
Ji Xun also failed to stay out of the matter.
Dozens of dexterous little demons rushed up with sharp stone daggers.
Although the breastplate on Ji Xun's body is simple, it is enough to defend against most attacks.
With his current strength, he can kill almost every monster like this with an axe.
The big whirlwind of the long-handled ax in his hand was swinging wildly, and when the shield collided, the little devil would die suddenly on the spot.
While killing monsters, Enlightenment also quickly refreshes the screen.
"Kill the 'little devil', battle achievement 1"
"Kill the 'Cerber Hound', Battle Merit 1"
"."
In the blink of an eye, dozens of military achievements were recorded.
There are too many monsters now, so we can only seek blessings for ourselves.
Ji Xun glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the others in the team were using all kinds of tricks, but Old Man Xu had disappeared.
But the young man beside him was very brave.
The young man held a fishbone thin sword, and almost every sword could accurately penetrate the forehead of a demon.
A pile of corpses quickly piled up around him.
And the spy of the black wolf group has now transformed into a werewolf form. He is also very powerful and has a little devil in one claw.
Although Ji Xun is not very skilled in ax and shield, he has suppressed most of the demons with his strength alone.
It was just a glance out of the corner of my eye, probably because his "Black Knight" target was too big.
The D-class disaster [Giant Demon] also came up.
Ji Xun also had no intention of backing down.
He also wanted to try to see what his current strength was.
"Bang", "bang", "bang".
This mountain-like monster was running towards me, and it felt like the ground was shaking.
As soon as he ran towards Ji Xun, the boulder mace as thick as a tree trunk struck down at Ji Xun.
"Whoosh" the strong wind pressed against my face.
This monster looks clumsy, but the speed of this stick is extremely fast.
The air on the stick was distorted into ripples visible to the naked eye, showing the terrifying power.
If he were hit head-on, the Black Knight would probably be knocked out even if he was wearing armor.
Ji Xun didn't dare to force him to accept it.
Use your feet lightly to dodge and avoid dangerous situations.
"call!"
The sound of breaking wind brushed against my scalp.
As soon as Ji Xun avoided it, the jagged tree trunk next to him that the two of them were embracing was suddenly broken, and sawdust flew into the sky.
The power of this giant demon is truly amazing.
But now take a look.
It swings the stick down with one stick, but swings the stick with the backhand very clumsily.
Ji Xun keenly grasped this weakness and was not polite.
While he was dodging, he swung the long-handled ax and struck the giant's knee with the axe.
"puff!"
It was like cutting into thick rhinoceros hide.
Magical body protection, the ax's not-so-sharp blade cut into it a few centimeters.
But it was completely cuticle and no blood was seen.
"What a thick defense!"
It was this confrontation that gave Ji Xun an accurate idea of the monster's power and defense.
He took out the axe, and with his backhand, he slashed the little devils around him into two pieces.
At this time, the giant demon withdrew the mace, shouted "Ouch", and hit the front with a stick that was so fast that a shadow appeared, and then hit it hard again.
Ji Xun listened to the howling wind above his head, glanced slightly, and easily avoided it again.
He backhanded the ax again and struck the monster's knee wound just now.
Then he swung the giant ax with his backhand again, slashing out a bloody mist on the little demons who wanted to sneak attack.
Fighting, one person and one monster seems to have become a turn-based battle.
The monster struck out with a stick, but Ji Xun dodged it and struck out with an axe.
Repeatedly.
There were too many monsters, and Ji Xun had to withstand the D-level disaster and was too overwhelmed to take care of himself.
Other hunters have no ability to survive against enemies dozens of times their size.
The wild team formed temporarily had no trust in each other and could not talk about any cooperation.
The screams were endless.
Although most of the demon legions are not strong, they are superior in numbers.
Each one held a sharp stone dagger and aimed it at the hunters, leaving bloody holes in them.
With dozens of monsters attacking at the same time, and the cold arrows being fired from time to time, the hunters couldn't resist them at all.
Thirteen people fought on their own, and almost in the blink of an eye, there were only three places where fierce fighting was still going on in the huge forest.
Ji Xun, the squad leader of the Black Wolf Regiment, and the young man holding a thin rapier.
The combat prowess of the three of them far exceeds that of ordinary hunters.
At this moment, a turning point came.
Ji Xun slammed his ax and hit the giant demon's left knee for the seventh time.
This time, the ax finally struck in.
With a "crack" sound, the patella cracked, and the giant demon's five-meter-tall body suddenly lost its balance and fell to its knees.
Although this guy is invulnerable and has terrifying strength, when he is lying on the ground and unable to exert force, the threat is reduced by half.
He swung the ax twice more, and the monster felt pain and screamed "Ouch".
At this time, the young man not far away also saw an opportunity.
There are still a lot of monsters and the boss can be killed, which is the best chance to break the situation.
He looked stern, as if he had used some kind of martial arts, and "swish, swish, swish" he stabbed out a rain of swords like raindrops, and a large group of little devils in front of him had blood holes between their eyebrows.
Taking advantage of the moment when the monster tide eased, he rushed towards Ji Xun: "I'm here to help you!"
Ji Xun watched the young man rushing towards him without saying anything, and took the opportunity to block the giant's mace with his shield.
The young man jumped nimbly, and then stabbed the giant demon in the eye with his sword.
This kind of thin sword is inherently light and precise in martial arts, and the boy's sword was very precise.
Ji Xun looked slightly sideways because he saw a cold glow condensed on the tip of Jia Shaojun's sword.
That was sword energy compressed to the extreme.
not much.
But enough!
There was a "whoosh" sound, like stabbing into rotten wood.
The penetrating properties of the rapier allowed the blade to easily sink into the giant demon's head, which was as big as a bull's head.
The monster still wanted to resist, but the mana surged all over the boy's body, and there was a "pop" sound, like a bullet piercing through. A bloody hole was made in the back of the monster's head, and red and white blood flowed out.
Ji Xun looked at this sword skill and praised in his heart: "The strength is pretty good."
Among hunters, it is rare to see such a dazzling master at such a young age.
At the same time, Qidi prompted: "Kill the D-class disaster giant demon, battle merit 70."
It was probably because of the spatial judgment that the team was responsible for the kill, and the young man also shared some of the merits.
But it doesn’t matter, just score dozens of points of combat merit and you’ll get them out.
His combat merit has now reached "231" points, and he has already met the minimum requirements for leaving.
The young man's sword indeed saved Ji Xun a lot of trouble.
The young man's judgment was very accurate.
After killing this giant monster, the remaining hundreds of monsters, without their leader to lead them, retreated like a tide with monster screams.
There were corpses all over the ground.
There are three more alive.
Ji Xun, the young man, and the werewolf who was injured and breathing heavily.
oh.
No.
It's four.
Hearing the sound of the monster escaping, old man Xu, who was missing his front teeth, came out of a tree hole with a look of disgrace.
The little thief boy looked around and saw that there was really no danger, so he dared to climb out.
This guy was full of stench. I don't know what kind of feces he had smeared on him, but even from a distance, he could smell the sour smell like cat feces.
He didn't show any embarrassment and muttered: "Hey, why did you suddenly encounter so many monsters?"
The young man also walked over and helped his grandfather pat the feces on his body.
There was a flash of disdain in the werewolf's eyes.
Ji Xun looked at it but narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't look down upon it at all.
Being able to survive is a real skill.
Originally, it was a good thing to survive the disaster.
But suddenly, the atmosphere became subtle.
The magic power gathered on the giant demon's body, and the small horn on its head suddenly lit up with red light.
This is the "Devil's Horn" that only disaster-level demons can produce.
This is a key item to improve the hidden rewards at the end of the level, and it is also a must-have item for exchanging war merits for top-notch military prizes.
The four people's eyes were all attracted towards him.
Ji Xun was not polite and cut off the corner with a knife.
But just by this action, the captain of the Black Wolf Group in the distance had other ideas.
He shouted sharply: "Hey."
Ji Xun raised his head and glanced at the guy.
The man said: "Give me this horn. I will give you one million when you get out."
Ji Xun didn't want to pay attention to it.
Wait until everything is sorted out before dealing with this guy.
But as his peripheral vision reached the depths of the dense forest, he suddenly thought of something else, changed his mind and said, "But I want to keep it for myself."
As he spoke, he seemed to pretend not to know the identity of this guy, and did not see the cruelty hidden in this guy's eyes. He said in a teasing tone: "After all, if you draw a special card, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."
"."
When the man listened, his expression instantly turned cold.
Before coming in, Master Kahn offered a reward of five million for a devil's horn.
You can also record merit in the Guards.
Whoever gets it will be able to turn over immediately.
Unexpectedly, there was one right in front of me.
He was definitely not willing to give up and directly stated his identity: "I am the guard of the Lionheart family. This devil horn is also what my young master wants. One million is not low."
One million is indeed not low.
But if you give it after you go out, you have no intention of giving it at all.
"Tsk"
When Ji Xun heard these words that were no longer threatening, the arc of his sneer under the gas mask grew even higher.
Taking out the name of Young Master Kahn, now everyone in Sinless City must be more or less afraid of him.
But as luck would have it, there was a person in front of me who was not interested in the young master.
"What if I insist that I don't want to sell?"
Ji Xun didn't really want to talk nonsense with this guy.
But he didn't forget that there was a very powerful archer who was shooting cold arrows in the darkness of the forest.
Intuition told Ji Xun that the guy might not have left yet.
And now, that intuition is getting stronger and stronger.
While speaking, Ji Xun deliberately blocked the back of his body in front of the tree trunk to avoid some visual blind spots.
Hearing this, the eyes of the man from the Black Wolf Group have turned completely cold. He has great wealth right in front of him, and he will never give up. The muscles of his newly degraded werewolf body are beginning to tangle again: "What do you mean?"
He had just observed this guy's fighting, and he found that his strength was indeed good, and his agility was good, but that was all.
This guy doesn't even have basic fighting skills.
The reason why he was able to kill that D-class disaster was simply because the giant demon was too clumsy.
Ji Xun didn't explain any new or old grudges. This guy is still alive just because he still has some value.
He said meaningfully: "It means that you may die."
Before he finished speaking, he deliberately raised his ax, making a gesture of slashing diagonally from left to right.
The man from the Black Wolf Group sneered in his heart, that's it?
He instinctively made evasive movements.
However, before the ax fell, he had just made the backward movement.
The murderous intention has arrived quietly.
Suddenly, a sound broke through the air.
An arrow shone with the luster of runes, and the pitch-black arrow with a black spiral energy accurately pierced the wolf's head.
The arrows were so fast that as soon as people saw the cold light, blood burst out.
The expression on the Black Wolf Group's face instantly froze, and he never figured out where the arrow came from until his death.
Ji Xun didn't even take a second look at the corpse. He quickly glanced at the direction where the arrow came from and said, "As expected, he didn't leave."
I just said all this just because I want to test if there is a bait, and the archer will not be able to resist attacking an enemy who has exposed a big flaw.
I never thought I would try it.
"The long-distance shooting of four hundred meters is very powerful. There is also a way to shoot this arrow."
Ji Xun saw more information clearly this time.
He looked at the black iron-quality [Demon-Breaking Spiral Arrow] again and judged what it was: a first-order C-level disaster, with a silver-quality bow.
These are all mobile achievements.
Ji Xun became murderous and quickly put away the devil's horns on the monster's corpse.
A piece of black iron material [Giant's Eyeball] was also produced from the corpse of the giant demon.
Calamity's corpse was rare, so he didn't want to waste it, so he took out the storage card and collected the entire corpse.
Ji Xun was wearing heavy armor, so he was not afraid of sneak attacks by archers.
He stood up and turned his head to look at the other two survivors present.
The old man with missing front teeth in the distance shrank at the sight, and quickly pulled the young man beside him to hide behind a tree trunk.
Ji Xun said without any ink: "You have a share in killing this D-class disaster, but I will take the devil horn. In exchange, you don't have to go to the beacon tower, I will light it."
After it is lit, teammates who are still alive can also share the battle merit.
Hearing this, Old Man Xu looked flattered and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, master, you are joking, you can take this corner, we have no objection at all. Without this brat interfering, you can easily kill the monster."
"
"."
Ji Xun glanced at the two of them.
I don't know if he was flattering or if he really saw something.
But to be alive, you must have some real skills.
The young man is not weak either.
But if it had to happen again, the two of them might not survive.
He didn't reveal any tricks, and Ji Xun didn't want to waste time explaining.
Those ordinary hunters don't have anything valuable on them, so leaving a little behind can be considered as dividends for the final disaster attack.
After simply collecting the loot, he turned around and entered the forest alone.
Ji Xunyi left.
Old Man Xu also let out a long breath, "Oh, that guy is finally gone. That murderous aura, if I dared to say no just now, old man, I'm afraid we, my grandfather, and my grandson will have to answer here today."
The young man looked at the old man who was really not afraid, and said with a frown: "Grandpa, although that man is powerful, he is not that good."
After thinking about it for a moment, he stated what he had observed in a straight-forward manner, "That man's fighting skills are still very unfamiliar, and they are only at the level of 'intermediate fighting'. Any guard in the Lionheart family is stronger than him at this level. It's just that
He's just a little more agile than the average black knight."
Old Man Xu listened and laughed: "That werewolf who dared to forcefully buy something before had the same thought. Do you think he is like this now?"
"But, this isn't him either."
The young man wanted to say that it was not that person who killed him.
But when I think back to that scene of a headshot with an arrow, the more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.
Before the young man could think about it, the old man continued: "A cruel place like Innocence City is not a rich ore layer. There are no vain young masters and ladies here who rely solely on skill cards. You can't survive without real skills. Intermediate fighting is only possible.
It can explain one thing. The person's advancement time is too short, and he has not yet reached the level to adapt his martial arts to his body. He just deliberately practiced with monsters. In other words, he can advance to the official spell card master, which is definitely not the case.
They rely on mid-level fighting, but they hide their true methods. Even the Black Knight professional sequence is just a disguise."
"ah?"
The young man didn't know how serious he was.
Without thinking about it, he wondered again: "But how did that person know that the demon archer was hiding in the forest? And he also concluded that he would definitely take action?"
"Do you really think I'm so stupid? What's the point of forcing Lai Lai to do this for so long?"
The old man asked back, asking and answering himself: "That person had no intention of selling the devil's horn. He went there with the intention of killing people from the beginning to the end. The werewolf will die if he can't open his mouth. Living a moment longer is worth it.
, just used as bait.”
While he was cleaning up the corpses on the ground, he added: "I don't disdain to be associated with Xiao Xiao, but I can't suppress the restless murderous intention in my heart. He is a very contradictory person. I can't understand it."
Hearing this, the young man blinked and asked curiously: "Grandpa, can you beat him?"
Old Man Xu spat, with a look on his face that said he was not going to cause trouble for the old man: "Bah, with your grandfather's lame tricks, it's good to be able to save your life, but you still expect to be in the limelight?"
After that, he added: "Pack up and get ready to leave."
Young man: "But you don't have 100 points yet."
Old man Xu had a vulgar smile on his face: "It's on the battle merit card of the corpse. Seeing that you made a superfluous sword strike at the end, they didn't hesitate to give us some bonuses. It's already very kind. Oh, of course, it's possible.
I was busy chasing the demon archer and didn’t have time to pick up rags. Anyway, these corpses will be an advantage for us."
Compared with the corpse, the young man obviously cared more about other things: "Ah, that person went after the archer?"
The old man disagreed: "What else? Why not chase the archer and go to all the trouble to lure it out and shoot an arrow?"
Only then did the young man fully understand, and he said in surprise: "Can he catch up? I mean. It may be a mixed-blood dark elf, a natural hunter. In this environment, it is impossible to be caught. Even if it is an agility type
Neither can the card master."
The old man shook his head: "That's why I said you are still far behind others. Just because you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it."
"Grandpa, how do you know? Did you see what he has up to?"
"It's because he didn't see it that he left so quickly. Otherwise, if we had caught a glimpse of some secret, we might have been killed and silenced."
"I feel like that person won't."
"You kid knows nothing."
"."
"I think it's most likely that he's here for the eldest young master of the Lionheart family. Forget it, it doesn't matter what he came to this extra-dimensional space for, it has nothing to do with us. I've asked the devil's body before using a secret method.
, there’s nothing I’m looking for. Let’s go, there’s no point in staying in this space.”
"Ah, but I also want to see the war mode."
"See you! Isn't it good to be alive? You kid, don't be so pushy next time. I've told you many times that you have to be low-key in order to live a long life."
"."
The grandfather and grandson collected the corpses, quarreled all the way, and ran back leisurely towards the fortress.
