Chapter 506: The Dark Peacock is the Nan family’s spiritual creature?
What Ji Xun and his companions didn't know was that while they were fighting fiercely, something unexpected suddenly happened in the ancient palace on the sixteenth floor of the Dead Zone.

Originally, the three foreign god sects, the Holy See, the Church of Light and the Scarlet Sect, were fighting fiercely over the Temple of the Sun.

However, no one knew what had happened. In the Holy See camp, which had originally occupied the core position of the temple with a large number of people, several figures suddenly jumped up and quickly ran away from the palace, rushing quickly towards the fifteenth floor.

In the darkness, several mysterious figures happened to see this scene and were all surprised.

Ji Xun knew both of the two leaders.

One is Gustav, vice-president of the Royal Academy's School of History.

There was also a man with a pale face and red lips as bright as blood, and that was Xie Guozhong.

The rest were also high-ranking officials of the two major heretical sects.

Everyone was puzzled as they watched the ninth-rank cardinal leading a few experts to hastily evacuate the camp.

If they continue to fight like this, even if they join forces, they will not be a match for the people of the Holy See.

I didn't expect people to evacuate?
"It's strange. The people from the Holy See are withdrawing at this critical moment? They are leaving in such a hurry. Could something have happened?"

"Now that all the masters of the Holy See's camp have left, should we go and destroy the camp?"

"Could it be a conspiracy? To deliberately lure us into attacking the camp?"

"If this is a conspiracy, it's too crude. Do they think we will fall for it?"

"."

Now they just need to rush over and slaughter the people of the Holy See immediately.

But seeing that there were no masters in the Holy See camp, the two heretical sects hesitated.

This kind of abnormality makes people feel that there is something wrong everywhere.

Even the learned and wise Gustav looked confused.

He didn't understand why the people from the Holy See suddenly withdrew, and said to himself: "Strange, now that the temple is fighting for the key to integrity, why is it impossible for the people from the Holy See to let go? Could it be that something happened to the top leaders of the Holy See?"

He couldn't figure it out, so he turned to look at Xie Guozhong: "Your Excellency, what do you think?"

Xie Guozhong thought of something, and his expression showed an incredible expression: "I have thought of a possibility. Perhaps the split god clone that the Dragon God Ariel used to prolong his life was killed."

"???"

Gustav was obviously stunned when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "You mean, the Third Heavenly Dragon Son, Cheresa, was killed?"

Others don’t know the origins of this Holy Son of Heavenly Dragon, but they know it very well.

This is the top secret of the Holy See.

Cheresa is not just any ordinary dragonborn, but the secret clone of the dragon god Ariel who is nearing the end of his life.

It can be said that he is an offspring, or it can be said that he is a part of the continuation of His bloodline and will.

As soon as Gustav said this, he immediately shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. That guy has many treasures on him. Even if we do it ourselves, we may not be able to kill him."

But before he could finish his words, he fell into deep thought.

On second thought, this seems to be the only reason that could have caused the cardinal to go to such great lengths in these ruins.

Xie Guozhong thought of something and smiled: "Whether it is true or not, it is a good thing for us now. If we can take down the Temple of the Sun, the gate to the underworld can also be opened."

Hearing about the Gate to the Underworld, Gustav's expression became serious, "Well. Let's give it a try!"

With the facts before their eyes, the two gangs did not hesitate and headed straight towards the camp.

Mrs. Mist was sent by Xie Guozhong to find Ji Xun and others.

He also knew that Ji Xun could definitely guess what he was thinking.

Originally, I just thought that Ji Xun and the others could make plans around the Holy Son of Heavenly Dragon, tie down the main force of the Holy See, and perhaps create some opportunities.

Unexpectedly, they actually killed the Holy Son directly?
When Xie Guozhong thought of this, he also found it incredible, but suddenly his eyes narrowed with a cold light, as if he had thought of something: Could it be that those guys from the monastic order took action?
On the other side, in the Flamethorn Forest on the fifteenth floor.

A group of people were running all the way.

Ji Xun dared to kill people, so of course he knew the consequences of killing.

Fortunately, Ivan's storage space had stored the body of the Saint, severing the causal connection. Otherwise, even if they killed the enemy, they would not be able to take anything away.

After walking for dozens of miles, we found that the surrounding area was already a primitive jungle.

Giant trees a hundred meters high can be seen everywhere, and the hot dark breath of the thorn trees perfectly conceals the breath of everyone.

In these ruins, even a ninth-level being would not dare to hunt and kill recklessly.

After running for a while and no one caught up with him, Ji Xun knew that he was safe for the time being.

Looking at the markings on the map, they seemed to be not far from the secret passage leading to the sixteenth floor.

However, the map is not precise. Even if the direction is correct, you still need to look for the location carefully.

No one knows whether the terrain here has changed after tens of thousands of years.

No one was chasing them, and everyone was injured, so they were not in a hurry and just walked slowly in the forest.

We chatted while walking.

"What a coincidence. The direction in which that [Underworld Peacock] escaped is similar to the route on the map. We may be able to catch that peacock."

"Don't be careless. There are many hellish monsters in this forest, and there are many that are more powerful than that peacock."

"Well, everyone be careful. I feel like the previous battle was too noisy. It seems like some monster in the forest has been awakened."

"."

Having just experienced a great battle, everyone seemed very excited.

Especially after seeing the exaggerated fighting power of Ji Xun and Qin Rushi, Bonnie and other revolutionary army cadres are still excited.

They reviewed the previous battle and listened to Ji Xun's description of the details, and they were even more amazed at how difficult it was to win.

Especially at the end, everyone was amazed by the psychological game in which Ji Xun's mouth forced the Holy Son of Tianlong to expose his flaws.

This kind of battle is a rare life experience for everyone.

Ji Xun was very calm, walking leisurely on the soft layer of dead leaves.

Because the Dark Peacock had the mark of the vampires on its body and its direction was similar to their destination, they chased after it.

This kind of high-level material is already seriously damaged, there is no reason not to find a way to get it.

The road that the Warcraft Lord can take is of course relatively safe, and the group did not encounter any trouble along the way.

But suddenly, there were subtle sounds of fighting in the forest ahead.

Everyone stopped cautiously.

Mrs. Mist released the scouting bats and soon her expression brightened. She said to Ji Xun, "Most of the noise came from a cave about three kilometers ahead. There are feathers of the Divine Light of Silence. It should be the Dark Peacock."

When everyone heard this, their expressions instantly showed joy.

It seems that they mistakenly entered the territory of other monster lords, which led to the fight.

Bonnie and the others also sharpened their knives and started discussing excitedly.

"Hahaha, if he can fight with the Dark Peacock, he must be some kind of Warcraft lord. Maybe we can collect some top-level materials this time."

"Don't be careless. If I were that peacock, knowing that I couldn't escape, I might choose some dangerous environment that would be suitable for me to escape."

"."

Although everyone was cautious, they all seemed confident, probably because of the fighting power shown by Ji Xun and Qin Rushi in the previous battle.

Although Ji Xun felt that he should be cautious, he didn't feel it was dangerous.

The monster couldn’t be too strong if it could fight so fiercely with the seriously injured Dark Peacock.

The group carefully moved towards the direction where the battle was taking place.

Soon, some huge caves leading underground appeared in the dense forest, like mines.

The battle was still going on in the cave, so no one rushed in and instead observed the surroundings carefully.

However, as I watched, a surprise came.

Uncle Dong, who was scouting in the treetops, suddenly discovered something and said in surprise, "Leader, Brother Jixun, come up and take a look! This seems to be the location marked on the map!"

After hearing this, Ji Xun also jumped onto the tree trunk.

Only then did he realize that there was not just one entrance to the cave, but three in total.

Seen from a high place, it looks like a skull with a diameter of nearly one kilometer.

Isn’t this the entrance to the mysterious tunnel marked on the map?
Everyone also noticed this and felt lucky to have found their destination so easily.

Before, they were still guessing what the coordinates of the skull on the map referred to.

Now I see that it is a pictographic pattern.

Qin Rushi looked at the entrance to the cave and instinctively became alert: "Why does this cave entrance feel like the head of some humanoid creature? And why did this Dark Peacock come to this cave?"

Ji Xun also felt that this place was full of mystery, and he became interested: "Such a big head, I'm afraid it can only be found in the ancient giants in myths and legends."

Whatever it was, it aroused his strong interest.

Before everyone could observe further, the fighting in the cave suddenly stopped.

Ji Xun frowned and made a decision immediately, "Let's go in and take a look!"

Qin Rushi also nodded: "Yeah."

If the Dark Peacock was defeated and they arrived too late, their spoils might be eaten by other monsters.

The two led the way, and Bonnie and her teammates followed them without hesitation and rushed straight into the cave.

As soon as we entered the cave, without the red light emitted by the firethorn tree, the surroundings became dark.

Looking closely, there were black shiny stones on the rock wall, which looked like an unknown mineral.

Originally, this dark cave was the main environment for vampires, and the scouting bats driven by Mrs. Mist could also come in handy. However, they soon discovered the problem.

Because the cave was full of huge spider webs.

It was a spider web that was so sticky that even bats had difficulty sensing sound waves.

As soon as the bat rushed in, most of it was immediately stuck.

Even though they were not stuck, they were completely wiped out after twisting and turning in the cave.

Bonnie knew what was good, and immediately became excited: "Oh, these spider webs are really good stuff!"

She has been studying poisons for many years and recognized at a glance that these spider webs were rare high-end materials. "This stickiness and toughness. Wow, the best spider web materials I have seen before are not as good as this! It is simply the best material!"

Spider webs have a wide range of uses. The most common use is as a magical material for the spell [Spider Web Spell], and as raw materials for some high-end textile materials.

The high-grade spider web material that Ji Xun had seen in Giant Spirit City before cost one silver coin per gram.

It's everywhere here.

There are silver coins all over the floor.

No wonder Bonnie was excited.

The crowd did not stop and continued to move forward. The spider webs around them became more and more numerous and denser.

The ground was as sticky as syrup and it was so sticky that your shoes would tear off if you walked on them.

Fortunately, Bonnie, the poison master, has a way to prevent sticking. She leads the way and everyone goes deeper.

Soon, they saw signs of fighting.

The rock wall was full of holes left by the [Feathers of the Divine Light of Silence], and Bonnie in front of him exclaimed, "Ji Xun, come and see, what kind of spider is this?"

Ji Xun walked over and saw several spider corpses the size of calves.

Green blood was oozing from the wounds on the corpse, a pair of hairy chelicerae were dripping with black venom, and the eight legs stretched out to about seven or eight meters.

The most iconic feature is the strange pattern on the spider's back that looks like a human face, as if this is the head. It looks more like an octagonal monster with a human face.

This poisonous creature, which even Bonnie doesn't recognize, must be a rare species.

Ji Xun looked at a few of the characteristic features and said in a very affirmative tone: "This is the [Hell Man-Faced Demon Spider], a group of magical beasts. Not only is it good at hunting with toxins and spider silk, but it also poses a great threat of mental pollution. It looks like it is at the third or fourth stage in adulthood. It has grown so big, so it is obviously a giant mutation."

Another hellish creature that cannot be seen outside.

Everyone listened to Ji Xun's popular science, and none of them were surprised.

I've seen too many monsters from hell, so seeing a few more doesn't seem like anything special.

Instead, they determined the type of monster and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked like they had entered a spider's nest.

Since it is a nest, there will be no other monsters.

Ji Xun thought so too.

Once the type of monster is confirmed, many risks can be anticipated.

They also didn't want the [Underworld Peacock] that they had worked so hard to injure to be eaten by a group of spiders, so the group immediately quickened their pace towards the depths of the cave.

Soon, rustling sounds were heard in the dark cave. Apparently, the spiders had discovered the intruder and were moving towards him in a group.

Instead of being surprised, everyone became excited when they heard this.

"That [Underworld Peacock] is quite smart. It doesn't look like it came here by mistake, but it wanted to use these [Hellish Man-Faced Demon Spiders] to stop us."

"It seems that the peacock is not dead yet. It may be hiding."

"Hahaha, I'm going to be rich. With so many spiders, I'll have to collect so much material."

"Yeah. It's not easy to come across a tribe, I hope there are more of them."

"."

The most excited one was Bonnie, who took the poison jar and started to prepare.

In a blink of an eye, countless dense red eyes appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Ji Xun could see clearly that on the rock wall there were countless giant spiders with hairy legs, rushing over like a tide.

Before he could make a move, Bonnie and several other officers used all their means and started killing indiscriminately in excitement.

In an instant, sword energy spread everywhere, spell cards flew everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, broken limbs flew everywhere and the spider's corpse fell like raindrops.

Bonnie and the others had not performed well in previous battles because of the difference in rank.

Now it's easy to deal with these spiders.

Chopping melons and vegetables, moving forward all the way.

Ji Xun took a few glances and decided not to do it himself.

It was pretty much as expected, all spiders were level three, four, and five, with an occasional level six elite one visible.

Although there were many of them, they were still easily killed by the well-prepared elite group.

With Bonnie around, the toxins and spider webs of this [Hellish Demon Spider] pose almost no threat; the mental pollution can also be resisted with potions; the spider's triple attack method has little effect on Ji Xun and his group, and they soon become a harvest scene.

The monsters in the dead zone have a high probability of producing magic cores, and the materials are all top quality.

Everyone went deeper and deeper and gained a lot.

However, when he saw that there were more and more spiders, until their corpses blocked the cave, Ji Xun vaguely realized that he could not go on.

He always felt that the [Underworld Peacock] wanted them to kill these spiders on purpose, and there might be some hidden dangers.

After some discussion, the others stayed where they were and cleaned up slowly, while Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Mrs. Mist rushed towards the depths of the dungeon.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of wind blew rapidly beside my ears.

Mrs. Mist could accurately locate the position of the [Dark Peacock], so Ji Xun and Intrusive followed her and ran all the way.

They ignored the spiders, and the spider webs did not pose much of an obstacle to the three high-level warriors with extremely high agility attributes.

The three of them had a smooth journey at a very fast speed.

Ji Xun was walking fast in the air and observing all the way.

He became more and more curious. Who left that map tens of thousands of years ago?

Not long after, Mrs. Mist suddenly said, "It's just ahead!"

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi also became cautious.

Although in their eyes, a severely injured [Underworld Peacock] is no longer a threat, there is no guarantee that it will have any other tricks if it fights desperately.

In a blink of an eye, Ji Xun quietly discovered that the rugged rock walls around him actually showed signs of artificial carving.

"remains?"

Only then did he realize that the cave he had just visited was connected to some ancient ruins.

Before he could think about it, he saw things that looked like sleeping bags hanging in the void around him.

Like the fruits on a tree, so densely packed that there is no telling how many there are.

Looking closely, it was a bag woven with spider webs, and inside was the prey hunted by the spider.

When Ji Xun saw this situation, he guessed that this was the spider's nest.

It could even be that the Dark Peacock deliberately lured them here.

But perhaps he didn't expect several humans to come so quickly, and before he was ready, he ran into them head-on.

Ji Xun saw the panic hidden under the determination on its face.

However, there was one thing he didn't expect.

At this moment, what I saw in front of me was not a white peacock, but a beautiful silver-haired woman covered with feathers.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi had heard Old Man Xu brag before, saying that the transformed form of [Underworld Peacock] was very beautiful.

Now that I see it, it is true.

Ji Xun was not really impressed by her beauty.

The Sirens, Harpies, Gorgons, and Succubi in myths and legends are all dangerous species known for their beauty.

They are not considered human just because they are human-shaped.

They feed on humans, and humans feed on them for countless years.

They will never show mercy to each other.

What surprised Ji Xun was that Peacock, who had transformed into a human form and was ready to fight desperately, had a unique petal mark on his forehead!

At this moment of glimpse, he quickly stopped Qin Rushi and Mrs. Mist: "Don't do it yet!"

The two girls were stunned and tilted their heads to look at him, not knowing what was going on.

Seeing that a conflict was about to occur, Ji Xun quickly took out a scroll.

He also didn't expect to see this mark in this dead zone.

If it wasn't a coincidence, then the mark on the forehead of the Dark Peacock was the Nan family's unique contract mark!

He is very familiar with Nan Jing and has seen this mark countless times.

That is
The [Dark Peacock] in front of us is most likely the Nan family’s spiritual creature!
At least there is a connection!
The Dark Peacock was already glowing with the divine light of annihilation, and was ready to fight to the death. However, when it looked closely at the contract mark on the scroll that Ji Xun took out, it seemed to recognize it, and suddenly its expression froze.

Ji Xun keenly captured its micro-expressions and was certain that he had guessed correctly!

In an instant, a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in his mind, and some fragments of information from ancient times were connected.

The Nan family has a safe coordinate in the underworld.
And this dead zone happens to connect to the underworld.
Another contracted monster related to the Nan family appeared.
