Cataclysm King

Chapter 479: Leaving the City to Explore the Warcraft Forest
Although Qin Rushi's rank is only one level higher than Ji Xun, the seventh level is already the top level of the extraordinary realm.

There is a substantial difference between the two people's understanding of supernatural powers.

That is the difference in status between humans and demigods.

Moreover, Qin Rushi is not only proficient in the Qin family's inheritance of the laws of war, and has her own original field of "Gods Descending to Earth", but also has obtained part of the inheritance of the Bai family, a lineage of god thieves from the Taren Royal Academy of Sciences, and has mastered countless secret techniques.

It can be said that her extraordinary realm is much higher than that of the average seventh level.

In Qin Rushi's conscious world, Ji Xun can access all the insights she has.

Including but not limited to the field of "Gods descending to earth".

Those insights and knowledge were like a "library". Even though he had access to them, Ji Xun still had to read them one by one.

Qin Rushi has been able to get to where he is today, so he must have excellent talent.

It took her many years to accumulate the insights and knowledge. Even with the shortcut of [Imperial Control Technique] and the enhanced insights of [JOKER], it would definitely take Ji Xun a long time to master them.

Not long after, in the hotel room.

Qin Rushi opened his eyes first from meditation.

She glanced at Ji Xun, who was still in a state of focused meditation sitting opposite her, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised into a faint smile.

[The Art of Controlling Immortals] is extremely mentally demanding.

This is true for both parties.

That’s all for today.

Just now, Ji Xun also gained a lot of insights in his spiritual world, and now he needs time to digest those insights.

Qin Rushi didn't bother him either.

She just looked at the shadow of the clown demon behind Ji Xun and murmured softly, "What an exaggerated understanding!"

Recalling the shared experience in the spiritual world just now, a strange color appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Just now, Qin Rushi completely revealed her inner world to Ji Xun, and at the same time, she also got a glimpse of the other party's complex and divergent thoughts.

The thoughts of ordinary people are like a thread, and they need to be focused enough to learn efficiently.

Ji Xun's thoughts were like willow branches, with dozens of thoughts scattering in all directions.

Qin Rushi knew before that Ji Xun's mental distortion was very special.

But I didn't expect it to be so special.

Thinking of this, Qin Rushi exclaimed in his heart: "It seems that it won't take much time to break through."

No longer having to maintain the spiritual field, she felt relaxed.

But I don’t know what she was thinking about, a hint of charm appeared on that beautiful face again.

With nothing to do, Qin Rushi stood up and poured herself a cup of tea on the table.

After waiting for a long time, Ji Xun still showed no sign of waking up. It seemed that he was going to meditate all night.

The two of them had been on adventures together many times, and Qin Rushi was no longer surprised.

The seemingly incredible speed of advancement is actually the result of countless days of hard training.

Qin Rushi would not be shy in Ji Xun's room.

When she had nothing to do, she would look through the ancient documents piled up in the room with great interest.

As I watched, I turned the screen.

Suddenly, Qin Rushi looked at the private bathing pool under the orange maple tree in the courtyard, and a bright color appeared in her beautiful eyes: "Huh"

Maple Leaf Hotel is a high-end hotel with access to natural hot springs in the courtyard of each house.

The clear spring water flowed out, and a white mist floated in the courtyard.

Qin Ru does not have high material demands. She can live in a simple adventurer's inn, and she can also wear gorgeous dresses with ease.

But if there are better conditions, of course I would be happy to experience it.

Looking at the hot spring pool in front of me, the tiredness from the long journey seemed to be completely suppressed, and I thought: how about taking a bath?
Qin Rushi glanced at Ji Xun who was still meditating not far away, and then she withdrew her eyes.

If it was somewhere else, she would definitely not have such a presumptuous idea. But since Ji Xun was the only one in the room, she didn't care at all.

After all, the bathtub was only separated from the room by a screen, so I originally wanted to avoid suspicion.

But now it seems there is nothing to avoid.

Qin Rushi didn't hesitate at all and lifted up her corset with her backhand, exposing the fair and delicate skin around her waist to the air.

Then she raised her hand. Because her breasts were as big as pomelo and the clothes were a little blocked, she pulled slightly with a trembling hand and finally took off the top.

Then hung it on the coat rack beside it.

There was no sign of discomfort on her face. She then unfastened the buckle of her combat pants at the waist, leaned over and pulled them up, revealing her sexy legs.

Without the cover of the corset, the proud figure was completely exposed to the air.

She was only wearing a thin combat vest and shorts. Although the style was conservative in the southern continent, her figure was too proud, and she filled the courtyard with sexiness and charm.

There was a dressing mirror next to the clothes rack, and her plump figure was reflected in the mirror.

Qin Rushi glanced at the image in the mirror, as if she was seeing her own figure from the perspective of a third party.

This scene is so similar to some scenes I have seen before in my memory.

Thinking about the scene that a guy in the conscious world had admired many times over and over again, she frowned slightly, and a faint smile that made her laugh awkwardly appeared at the corner of her brow.

Um.
Looks pretty good?

Qin Rushi also felt that she looked pretty good in the mirror.

She was as casual as if she were at home.

He naturally took off the last restraints on his body and walked into the bathtub.

The warm spring water soaked into her skin, and all her pores seemed to open up, causing her to exhale a refreshing breath.

A pair of snow-white hands proudly half floated on the water's surface. The clear spring water created slight ripples, adding a hint of hazy beauty to the beautiful figure in the water.

Qin Ru was enjoying the refreshing feeling of the spring water washing away his fatigue.

It is clearly autumn scenery in the courtyard, but the spring scenery is pleasant.

In the room, Ji Xun heard the sound of water, but his consciousness was still immersed in perception.

It had been a long time since he had experienced such a day of total immersion in spiritual practice.

Ji Xun felt at ease because Qin Ru was here.

Both of them felt very comfortable with this kind of relationship.

The night passed by in a flash.

The day in Giant City begins with the cries of the workers delivering animal milk on the streets.

Ji Xun opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and said to himself: "It's so difficult to get started in the realm of the gods. The law of war, so this is how it is. It is much more difficult to comprehend than the law of elements."

After a night of enlightenment, he was completely immersed in practice.

Last night was like a stroll through a library with countless books.

Just looking through the catalog is dizzying.

Then he focused on understanding the knowledge related to the field, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

The laws of war have always been the weak link among the many laws in Ji Xun's cognition.

That requires comprehension in war, and is a high-level law that ordinary people cannot access.

If Qin Ru had not used the [Imperial Control Technique] to guide him, Ji Xun even felt that he would not have a great opportunity in this life and would not have the chance to touch the deep mysteries of such high-level laws.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun calmed down.

He couldn't help but think of his experience in Qin Rushi's spiritual world last night, and couldn't help but sigh: "But then again, Aunt Qin's current realm is really exaggerated."

Only when you really see it, you will know how powerful it is.

Not only the knowledge related to the field, he also got a glimpse of everything about Qin Ru's demigod level.

Especially the immortal secret techniques of the Bai family, the god thief, are really eye-opening.

"Little Rune" has been condensed and formed, and the second magic solution has also touched the key points.
Not to mention the seventh level, she has really touched the threshold of the eighth level.

And there is also the contract with the ancestral immortal Bai Qiu.
Ji Xun also clearly realized the current level of combat capability of Aunt Qin.

However, Qin Rushi has too many cognitions and insights in his spiritual world. If he wants to explore them one by one, he will need a lot of time to comprehend them.

If it was just knowledge related to the "realm of gods descending to earth", he felt that he might be able to get started in a few days.

But Ji Xun certainly thought more than that.

Since Qin Rushi was willing to use the Bai family's secret technique to guide him, she naturally didn't mind letting him learn whatever he wanted to learn.

It was this feeling of absolute trust that made Ji Xun feel inexplicably relieved.

Just as I was thinking about it, I turned around and saw Qin Rushi, who was meditating on the sofa not far away, also opened his eyes.

Although she was still wearing the tight adventure suit, it was obvious that she had changed into something else.

Without the dust and tiredness of yesterday, she is radiant and even more beautiful.

Ji Xun looked at the crack and smiled: "Aunt Qin, good morning."

Qin Rushi also responded softly: "Morning."

The atmosphere was as calm and harmonious as usual, and there seemed to be no difference from last night's secret dual cultivation.

Ji Xun said, "Come on, Aunt Qin, let's go out for breakfast. Let's go to the Mercenary Union to get our identity verified, and prepare some equipment and resources for the Warcraft Forest."

Qin Rushi still had that calm demeanor and replied softly, "Okay."

She had already heard the plan, and she couldn't think of any more.

She stood up and began to put on the armor on the shelf.

With the armor on, her proud figure and beautiful temperament were also hidden by the armor.

There are many foods with special flavors in Juling City. Ji Xun took Qin Rushi to eat the delicious food leisurely, and then the two of them took a jumping dragon beast car to the black market.

Qin Rushi and his "Great Sword Mercenary Group" are just a shell of a mercenary group originally from the Southern Continent.

Although this method of camouflage has very few flaws, it does have some flaws.

After all, the members are all cadres of the Revolutionary Army, and many of them have completely different abilities and career sequences from those registered with the Mercenary Union.

Once you are targeted and face a targeted investigation, you will inevitably be exposed.

Qin Ru didn't think about this problem.

But if you want to solve it, you must find someone who is proficient in this field.

But once you find someone, it itself becomes a big hidden danger.

Usually, those guys who have the means to forge identities are frequent visitors to various intelligence organizations.

To make up for one flaw would expose another, bigger flaw.

Qin Rushi also felt that he was not up to the task. After all, this was the Southern Continent where the revolutionary army had no base.

Their idea is to keep a low profile as much as possible and avoid contact with too many people.

This will minimize hidden dangers.

It was like this all the way. But I happened to meet Ji Xun.

It's no big deal.

He has been in Juling City for such a long time that he has become a local boss.

Ji Xun knows a lot of safe and reliable ways in the black market.

In his opinion, the information of the Mercenary Union of the Southern Continent was not connected to the Internet, and all the information was manually entered by recorders. It was too easy to tamper with the information of hunters of some small engineering regiments.

In that way, with a formal identity, the revolutionary army members can openly take on high-level tasks and enter and exit some high-level mercenary places.

Even if his identity was discovered in the future, Ji Xun had already made arrangements for his escape.

Not long after, the two men walked out of the black market.

During the trip to the black market, Qin Rushi once again saw Ji Xun's connections in the city. While she was shocked, she was also completely relieved.

All the problems I thought of before coming here are no longer a problem in front of this guy.

My meticulous thinking ability as the world has already deduced everything they need.

The two got on the beast cart again, preparing to go to the mercenary guild.

With Ji Xun here, the revolutionary army doesn't have to think about any adventure routes.

Qin Rushi knew that Ji Xun's information was more reliable than that of any intelligence dealer, so the two of them walked and chatted along the way.

In the car, she asked, "Ji Xun, do you have an exploration plan?"

Ji Xun: "Yeah. My idea is to go to the 'Dead Zone' to take a look."

Qin Rushi frowned as he listened and asked, "Dead Zone? Why haven't I heard of such a place in the Warcraft Forest?"

Of course, I didn't come here completely unprepared.

At least the general situation of the Warcraft Forest is known.

But this question was not a questioning, but a tacit understanding between the two of them, which made her hear the deeper meaning in the words.

There was no need to worry about Qin Rushi. Ji Xun said directly: "'Dead Zone' does not refer to a specific place, but a recently developed ancient ruins fault cave. According to the current known information, there are many high-level monsters there, and the mythical bloodline is also very rich, which can fully meet the needs of the cadres. The most important thing is that it is the place where I speculate that Emperor Lanlingster may have fallen."

"what?"

When Qin Rushi heard this, she realized why Ji Xun wanted to go to the Dead Zone.

But why is there no news coming out from the place where the emperor fell?

She gave him a questioning look.

Ji Xun understood what she meant, and explained directly: "Although there is no relevant information on the market now. But I can see from the layout of the three kingdoms' legions and the Holy See that they organized teams a few months ago to explore the ancient fault caves in the area that adventurers now call the 'Dead Zone'. In addition, recently, many large mercenary groups under the control of the three royal families came to Giant Spirit City and their whereabouts are unknown. I guess they went there and made a major discovery."

This was the information that Ji Xun had deduced from hanging out at the Mercenary Guild and Adventurer's Tavern every day.

The large mercenary groups in the southern continent have much stronger sources of intelligence than small mercenary groups.

The movements of large forces are basically directed towards some super-large relics, or some relics with special outputs.

For example, in the Old World, the exploration of the ruins of Behemoth in the imperial capital of Taren is such a situation.

Behind the large mercenary groups are the top dignitaries of the three kingdoms.

In a sense, the direction of their actions is actually the official strategic direction.

Going to the 'Dead Zone' must have been guided by some orders.

Even some of the missions of the Mercenary Guild are actually people secretly guiding large groups of adventurers to open up new land and clear the way.

Ji Xun keenly deduced a possibility from the information.

He was certain that something must have been discovered in that area that was directly related to the fall of Emperor Lanlingster, or perhaps a more important discovery!
That's why the top leaders of the Holy See concentrated their forces so much to explore.

"That's it"

When Qin Rushi heard Ji Xun's words, her eyes sparkled.

She also had a very high strategic vision, and after hearing the well-reasoned analysis, she came to the same conclusion.

In other words, there is a "great opportunity" in that dead zone, and the top forces in the southern continent are secretly developing it.

This is also a rare opportunity for the revolutionary army.

But she was surprised that to reach such a conclusion required not only a keen sense of smell, but also a massive amount of intelligence support.

Thinking of this, Qin Rushi glanced at Ji Xun beside her.

Since they met last night, this guy has given her endless surprises and surprises.

Ji Xun didn't know why Qin Ru looked at him like that. After he finished speaking, he added his plan: "If it's too dangerous, we can hunt down the necessary monster materials and come back halfway. If conditions permit, we can continue to go deeper and perhaps make other discoveries."

Qin Rushi's eyes lightened slightly, and he nodded seriously: "Yes. I will discuss it with the cadres later, it should be fine."

There was enough trust between the two of them and the plan went well.

At the same time, outside the Mercenary Guild in West City.

There are a lot of people here.

Mercenaries and adventurers carrying weapons and wearing armor can be seen everywhere on the streets.

In an alley not far from the trade union, a few people were waiting cautiously and bored.

It was none other than the cadres of the revolutionary army.

Bonnie "The Poison Doctor", Sam "The Hammer", Lawson "The Demolition Man", Anros "The Broken Gunman"
Although no one in the Southern Continent knew these Eastern Wilderness wanted criminals, their identities were disguised after all, so they were very careful in everything they did.

Since entering the city last night, several people have been collecting the resources needed for the adventure in the Warcraft Forest according to the plan.

"I contacted an intelligence dealer yesterday, but the price he asked was a bit outrageous. I told him a little about our needs, and he was smart enough to guess that our target was a high-level monster. He tried to find out about our group and even sent people to secretly follow us. I found out that something was wrong, so I immediately cut off the connection."

"Yes. Intelligence dealers are all cunning people. Our identities are not to be seen in public, and it is easy to be exposed if we are not careful. It may take some effort to find some intelligence."

"Hey, my side seems to be reliable. I found a local gangster and paid a deposit of a few gold coins. The guy said that we can get follow-up information when we meet at the Mammoth Tavern tonight."

“Lawson, I think you’ve probably been cheated.

"???"

"Hey, Bonnie, how are you doing over there?"

"I went to the Apothecary Guild to look at the quests and found some suitable ones. But I don't know the specific situation in the Warcraft Forest. When the leader comes, we can discuss which ones are suitable."

"."

Several people were waiting in the alley, counting each other's gains.

But after talking for a long time, it seems that there is no reliable source of information.

Thinking that it was their first day here, safety was the first priority and there was no need to rush.

A few people started gossiping.

"But speaking of which, what's going on, Chief? I actually ran into friends in the Southern Continent."

"I've never seen her go out on a mission with us and stay out all night. Hey, you think she's the leader's old lover?"

"You know the leader's character. Apart from fighting, when has she ever been interested in love affairs? Besides, with her taste, what kind of man can catch her eye? Forget about her lover. I guess he might be an intelligence officer deployed by the Alliance Army here."

"That's right. After the leader's immortal family secret technique was perfected, she really became more and more out of the human realm. She is at the semi-god level. Among the seventh level, I'm afraid no one is stronger than her."

"."

As they were chatting, Sam, the "Holy Hammer" holding a big hammer, saw two people walking on the street and said in surprise: "Look, is that the leader?"

The familiar armor and sword belonged to Qin Rushi, of course.

Rosen: "But who is the man next to the leader? Is he the friend she met last night?"

Ji Xun was in disguise, so no one recognized him as an S-level wanted criminal from Donghuang who was at the top of the wanted list just like them.

On the street, Qin Rushi also saw this group of revolutionary army cadres at a glance.

The two walked over. Qin Rushi was not in a hurry to introduce Ji Xun, but greeted everyone and said, "Bonnie, let's gather together. We are ready to take the mission and leave the city."

When everyone heard this, they were all confused: "Ah? But we haven't found enough intelligence support yet."

They just entered the city yesterday and there are so many things to prepare.

Intelligence, supplies, equipment.
According to the plan, the earliest we can set off is a week later.

However, what a surprise! The leader actually said that we should prepare to set off now?
This feeling of haste almost made everyone think that they had encountered some danger and had to leave the city to avoid it.

However, before everyone's alertness appeared on their faces, Qin Rushi glanced at Ji Xun and said lightly: "Well, I have found a reliable source of information."

When these words were spoken, everyone's expressions were filled with confusion.

It is because they have tried it that they know how difficult this task is.

It is almost impossible to find intelligence quickly without exposing your identity.

But what is the current situation?
In just one night, we found a reliable source of intelligence?

But since our leader said it has been done, it must have been done.

No one questioned it.

But even if the intelligence source is solved, there are still many problems with travel.

Rosen, who was playing with an elemental bomb, said, "What about the leader's adventure plan? We don't know much about the monsters in the southern continent, and the direction of extraordinary materials has not been determined. We haven't even bought the map yet."

Qin Rushi knew what he was going to say, and said concisely: "I have found a reliable [Polyologist] to answer those questions, and I have already learned about them. As for the relevant maps and other things, I have already bought them in my storage ring. When everyone is gathered, I will distribute them to everyone."

"what?"

The calm tone concealed too explosive information.

Everyone's expressions were the same as their thoughts, only confusion and astonishment.

They haven't even figured out what materials they need, so how can a [polymath] know?

And our own leader actually said that it has been confirmed?
If it were someone else, they would have thought it was a joke.

But it was their own leader who had the final say who spoke.

No one had any doubts, but everyone's face was filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Qin Rushi knew why they had that expression.

When she heard the meticulous and detailed information from Ji Xun last night, she was also shocked.

But now is not the time to explain too much. We will have plenty of time to explain when we leave the city later.

However, even if these problems are solved, the demand for hardware still exists!
The team will be in the Warcraft Forest for at least a few months, and they need to prepare a lot of supplies.

They had just arrived in Juling City and didn't know where their destination was, and of course they didn't know what to prepare.

As the team's chief nurse, Bonnie immediately expressed her concerns: "What about the expedition equipment and supplies? For example, targeted antidote potions, resistance potions, etc.? I just went to the Pharmacist Guild to learn about some of the situation. There are many dangerous areas in the Warcraft Forest, and there are many types of potions that need to be purchased. I... I may need a few days to prepare."

Qin Rushi interrupted her tone that she was not sure what she needed and said, "No. We have already bought the potions and supplies at the market. That's why we were delayed for a while."

With Ji Xun, the local boss, around, you don't have to ask for prices or consider the quality of the goods. You can just go there and buy them directly.

As for what to prepare, since he has a plan, he certainly knows it better than anyone else.

"."

This time, everyone really felt like they were dreaming, with faces filled with shock.

What on earth happened? How come everything was settled just after one night?
They vaguely realized something and glanced at Ji Xun beside Qin Rushi with wonderful expressions on their faces.

Where does this friend of the leader come from? Is he so powerful?
