Cataclysm King

Chapter 101 Meteor Eagle Fortress
The rock walls of the Demon Mountains are very steep.

It doesn't seem to be formed naturally.

It was more like being split in two by some super-cognitive power, forming this almost ninety-degree straight cliff.

Most of the places on the rock face do not even have a foothold for the mountain antelope, and there is no vegetation, let alone a place to hide.

Ji Xun changed into a werewolf form. Wearing a cloak, he grabbed into the rock wall with his sharp claws and climbed all the way north.

He had seen the map before, and the distance from Thunder Fortress to Xiangfeng Fortress was about 100 kilometers.

Simply using it as a werewolf on the road does not consume too much mana, but even so, Ji Xun stopped and stopped all the way, recovering his mana from time to time.

Fortunately, killing the five members of the Beast Legion before got a lot of recovery potions, which is not too distressing to use for their journey.

And the 【Relic·Devil Compass】 also helped a lot.

This allowed Ji Xun to avoid too many dangers.

On some rock walls, there are no abnormalities at all with the naked eye, but the fluctuations in the value of the devil's breath are scary.

I don't know if it's the will of space that doesn't allow people to take shortcuts, or the demon army already has hidden sentries.

Although he also killed a few waves of demons on the way, Ji Xun also relied on this compass to avoid those high-risk areas, and the journey was safe and sound.

After spending several hours, he saw a war fortress standing on the cliff.

The white stones are piled up majestic and magnificent.

This is the "Meteor Eagle Fortress".

This stronghold is the northernmost point of the Demon Mountains.

Further north is the black line marked on the landstrip - Wailing Abyss.

Ji Xun looked down at the gigantic gully nearly a kilometer wide and an unknown number of kilometers long in front of him, and thought in his heart: "There are such cracks in the different-dimensional space."

Although there is no exaggeration of the endless world rift on the edge of Innocence City.

But the Howling Abyss in front of him is also a huge crack with no end in sight, which is extremely shocking.

The light in the space is very dim, and the outline can barely be seen with night vision.

But that crack was as black as ink, as if leading to hell, I don't know how deep it was.

This is the natural barrier to stop the invasion of the northern demons.

"Why does this world feel like it was broken into pieces by a god?"

Ji Xun looked at the crack in front of him, and the smooth rock wall of the Devil Mountain before, and a picture always appeared in his mind: two indescribable huge creatures were fighting, and then with some incomprehensible means, the earth It was cracked.

These fissures are the wounds of the earth.

And humans are like imperceptible microbes on a wound?
Every time I see this kind of "giant", it will always give people a kind of shock from the bottom of my heart.

After a while.

Ji Xun observed the Howling Abyss condescendingly, but found nothing special, so he climbed towards the fortress.

Meteor Eagle Fortress was brightly lit.

Ji Xun sneaked in the dark and walked all the way.

There were thousands of soldiers stationed in the fortress, and there were people in the arrow tower sentry for those who should patrol and practice.

Everything looks normal.

"Strange, nothing happened?"

Looking at the peaceful fortress in front of him, Ji Xun always felt that something was wrong.

The key places in the Thunder Fortress leading directly to the hinterland of the kingdom have been invaded by ghosts, so it's not a problem on the front line that has been handing over with the devil's territory all year round, right?

Thinking of something, Ji Xun took out the [Devil Compass] and tried it.

This attempt made me even more suspicious.

The pointer is spinning around like a magnetic field is in chaos.

"The pointer is broken?"

Ji Xun looked at the pointer that was running around and frequently showing the fluctuation value of the devil's breath, and his thoughts froze for a moment.

I looked around the fortress in the direction of the pointer, but I didn't find any traces of demons.

Just when he thought that the relic was affected by some special magnetic field because it was too close to the demon territory in the north.

suddenly,

A group of patrolling soldiers walked past.

Ji Xun looked at the pointer in his hand, pointing to someone in the patrol team, and it showed a demonic breath fluctuation number 10 similar to the "big devil".

Because of the short distance, the pointer kept pointing at that person.

"Could it be...?"

Seeing this, Ji Xun no longer thinks there is a problem with the pointer.

Instead, they came to another shocking conclusion: this soldier is simply a demon in disguise!
The reason why the pointer is spinning
It's because the camp is full of demons!

Thinking of this, Ji Xun also inexplicably felt his eyelids twitch.

really.

Not without accident.

But it has not been found yet.

The devil has invaded the fortress by an unknown means.

I plunged headlong into the pile of monsters.

"The situation is worse than expected."

Ji Xunduo observed for a while, then confirmed his thoughts.

But instead of feeling dangerous, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without these demons, he still doesn't know how to trigger difficult plots.

It is now confirmed that the demons have invaded the fortress, but have not completely captured it.

This is obviously an excellent entry point for adventurers to choose from the different dimension space.

Ji Xun is sure that there must be key points in this fortress that can dig out the difficult plot!
Thinking of this, he continued to sneak away in the camp.

He observed all the way in the fortress, and found that the soldiers in some key positions basically had demonic aura fluctuations.

Such as the operator of the gondola elevator, the guard post of the arrow tower and so on.

After a rough estimate, about one-fifth of the soldiers were invaded by demons.

"Skin changing, or some mysterious means of control?"

Ji Xun was thinking as he walked, and he didn't dare to be careless, the clown mask was already on his face.

Walking and walking, I suddenly came to the military supply office.

There are already nearly [-] military exploits on the military exploit card.

I was planning to save some money before and exchange it for better things when I leave the space.

From the perspective of the current situation, the War Fortress has become a stronghold of demons, and the most urgent thing is to exchange some prizes to improve their combat power.

Ji Xun thought of something, took off his cloak, and walked in directly.

Probably because he felt that there was no need for a logistics department like the Military Quartermaster to invade. The soldiers here are all normal humans.

There is also a merit exchange screen here.

Ji Xun took out his combat merit card and four devil horns, and said directly: "Lord Captain, I am a scout scout sent by Wang Guozeng. After completing some investigation tasks, I want to exchange for combat merit items."

The things that were originally exchanged for military exploits were definitely not what the hunters saw.

But this is a patch made by the will of the different dimension space.

Adventurers were encouraged to kill monsters to exchange for favorite prizes.

Ji Xun is not afraid of revealing anything.

The quartermaster checked the merit card, and only said that he had a lot of military achievements, and didn't ask any further questions: "What do you want to exchange for?"

9000 combat achievements + four demons = [Kagura style Furubu fighting skills (Silver)]

If you want to improve your combat effectiveness as soon as possible, there is nothing more suitable than skill cards.

Ji Xun had already considered it before, and waved the name of the martial arts in the catalog, and said, "Please help me exchange this fighting cheat book."

Quartermaster: "Good!"

With all his achievements in battle, Ji Xun got a book of fighting cheats full of moves.

It's perfectly fine for him to practice this kind of cheats by himself.

The moves that are explained intensively are very detailed. It takes about a few years of hard training to master the fighting skills of this ancient fighting genre.

But Ji Xun obviously doesn't have that much time.

He saw the enlightenment hint under the cheat: "It can be downgraded and replaced with 'Technique·Advanced Fighting Specialization'"

"Sure enough."

Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

This is some cold knowledge of different dimensions that he saw in the card master encyclopedia.

Fighting specialization belongs to the basic skills, which in the final analysis are various basic skills such as kicking, hitting, throwing, and holding.

Although there are different fighting genres, after the cheats are downgraded, there is a high probability that they will be "advanced fighting specialization".

He urgently needs to improve some practical combat abilities that can save his life, although downgrading the silver cheats to black iron skill cards is a bit wasteful.

But skill cards are what he needs now.

Because the silver boxing skill [Technique·Level [-] Collapse] that he gained in the Greedy Mine before, the learning threshold is advanced fighting specialization.

Before, I couldn't find a way to buy skill cards outside.

I originally wanted to accumulate proficiency in fighting by myself.

But it's too late now.

Once the two cards are used, there will be an additional display on the panel [Second Extreme Collapse Lv0 (1/200)].

Ji Xun tried the newly mastered skills, feeling very mysterious.

The mantra surges in the meridians and gathers on the fist, which will condense a special energy.When a punch hits the floor tiles, the strength can not hurt the floor tiles, but directly penetrates the force downwards, directly smashing the soil layer under the floor tiles.

The greater the power, the more spell power poured in, the greater the damage, and the thicker the obstacles that can be penetrated.

After Ji Xun tried it, he immediately became more confident: "This skill is amazing."

Although [Second Skill Collapse] has a certain energy storage time, it has the disadvantage of consuming a lot of mana.

But the completion of this secret level silver boxing technique can be regarded as another real killer.

For example, when he faced a rough-skinned and thick-skinned monster like the Giant Demon before, he really couldn't do anything except the relic scalpel.

There is now.

This punch can completely penetrate the skin and directly injure the internal organs, causing "real damage".

Although the skill proficiency is currently not enough to kill a D-level disaster with one punch.

But a few more punches will always kill the monster.

His super high agility and physical attributes paired with this kind of skill is like a good sword with a sharp edge, and the attributes burst out all at once.

Then there are heavy armor card masters like black knights, and now they finally have deadly means.

As for the miscellaneous advanced fighting specialization in his mind, Ji Xun also felt that it didn't matter.

Beginner, mid-level, and advanced specialization, he advanced three times, using three different types of skill cards.

He now feels like he knows a little about all fighting skills, miscellaneous but not perfect.

But it's good for now.

He has a high level of comprehension, and his mastery of skills is also very exaggerated.

After more actual combat, these skills will gradually be integrated into muscle memory and gradually become his own.

Strength really is confidence.

Ji Xun spent all his combat achievements and digested two fighting skill cards at once, and his melee combat power has increased by several percent to the naked eye.

Walking in the fortress doesn't have to be as cautious as before.

The different-dimensional space is a special world almost the same as the real world.

Everything here has a complete causal logic line.

If you observe carefully, you can always see some clues.

Since he guessed that the plot could be triggered in this fortress, Ji Xun wandered around in the fortress.

Sure enough, it didn't take long.

Ji Xun heard the news from a few chatting soldiers.

"I don't know what happened to the Commander recently. He used to be the first to come out for morning exercises every morning. Now he not only sleeps until noon, but also ignores everyone's exercises."

"Hey, doesn't this make us feel better? There's nothing strange about it. I heard that the commander went to patrol near the Wailing Abyss before, and he encountered a demon and fought a battle. It's normal for him to recover from injuries."

"Hey, the deputy commander, Mage Ronan, didn't know what military discipline he violated. He was sent to the dungeon by the Commander. He is obviously a good person."

"."

When Ji Xun heard these gossips, he immediately knew that this might be the key to the plot.

[Devil Compass] has a range of use. Only at a short distance of about 200 meters can you clearly point to the direction of the devil.

Before, because he was afraid of being discovered and exposed, he didn't dare to approach the command post, where there were obviously second-tier powerhouses.

Looking at it now, the problem is huge.

Ji Xuncai cautiously approached the commander's barracks.

Sure enough, the compass spun wildly.

He looked at the exaggerated demon power fluctuation value displayed on the pointer, and was surprised for a moment: "The second-order disaster-level demon? Even the one that is very strong in the second-order?"

This is the strongest one I've ever seen.

It is more than ten times stronger than the previous first-order C-level disaster.

"Interesting. The commanders of the fortress are all demons. The Meteor Eagle Fortress has actually fallen."

Ji Xun thought of this, and suddenly changed his mind.

Since the commander is a demon, then thinking about it from another angle, the deputy commander, Mage Ronan, who was locked in the dungeon, should be a human being?

Ji Xun immediately realized that this was the key to breaking the situation left by the will of space for adventurers.

Tier [-] demons are not something he can consider now.

Ji Xun didn't delay, and found the dungeon directly.

The dungeons in the fortress usually hold some soldiers who violated military discipline, probably like a confinement room.

Just going down a hundred meters in the cracks in the rock, there are several cells with water seepage on the walls around them.

The surrounding light is very dim, which is very suitable for sneaking.

Before Ji Xun took two steps, the pointer on the compass started to spin again.

"First-order C-level disaster."

He looked at the fluctuation value on the pointer, and knew that there was a demon with a very good stealth ability hidden in the darkness.

I have to admit, this relic compass is really easy to use.

Without this thing, if you sneak in rashly, you will really get a knife.

Since there are demons hiding, there may also be some early warning traps.

Ji Xun didn't expect to go in without being found.

It can only be done quickly.

As soon as the mantra was poured into his body, Ji Xun's body swelled in an instant, turning into the body of a werewolf.

The supernatural perception of the atavistic werewolf is fully reflected at this moment.

Not only can you see everything in the dark clearly.

He sniffed the air again carefully.

It was very clear that in addition to the smell of wet rocks in the dungeon, there was also the smell of a human being and a demon.

With the direction pointed by the compass, Ji Xun even pinpointed the source of the smell.

In the human sense of smell, the devil smells like rotten flesh.

But in the werewolf's sense of smell, there are all kinds of smells.

"Is it still that kind of mixed blood dark elf?"

Ji Xun had killed two dark elves before, and this kind of demon smelled much better than the carrion smell of other demons.

And he is good at stealth, which is the only one at present.

After identifying the type of demon, many methods can be used to predict in advance.

Moreover, although dark elves are the darlings of darkness, they are not good at perception.

The enemy apparently did not realize that he had been spotted.

Ji Xun guessed that there must be a trap on the stone steps, and he didn't intend to follow the normal path.

Suddenly violent.

As soon as the leg muscles swelled, the werewolf body jumped up the rock wall, and the sharp claws climbed on the wall like walking on the ground.

In a few breaths, he advanced a hundred meters.

A cloud of black shadows flashed across the rock wall, and the demon hiding in the dark suddenly found something abnormal.

However it was too late.

When I saw it, the black shadow had already appeared in front of my eyes.

When she realized that she was about to escape, her figure suddenly collapsed.

"Is it teleportation again?"

It's not surprising that Ji Xun has met him once.

The smell had clearly exposed the location of the dark elf.

He kicked his legs on the rock wall, and suddenly changed direction, like a hungry wolf pounced on a panicked rabbit, and spread the dark elf on the rock wall.

He didn't give the demon time to react at all, and broke his neck with his claws as soon as he grabbed it.

"Kill the C-level calamity 'Half-Blood Dark Elf Hunter', combat merit +300"

After the fighting skills became advanced specialization, it was much easier to kill this crispy calamity than before.

Although the movement of instant killing is not big.

But he couldn't guarantee whether the lurking demons in the fortress above had been alarmed.

Ji Xun killed the dark elf and quickly disposed of the corpse.

And the tightly bound magician in the cell also saw this scene clearly.
