Cataclysm King

Chapter 97 The First Demon Horn

dead!
The hunters stared at the guy whose head had been pierced, and were stunned for a moment before they realized: "Enemy attack!"

"Quick! Watch out for the archers!"

Everyone picked up their equipment one after another and looked around for hiding places, fearing that the cold arrow would hit their heads in the next moment.

Ji Xun glanced at the direction of the arrow trajectory from the corner of his eye, only saw a piece of darkness, and exclaimed in his heart: "What a clever stealth method. Is it a disaster-level demon shooter?"

But obviously, the danger is not limited to cold arrows.

After this arrow, dense footsteps sounded in the surrounding dense forest.

Ji Xun's ears trembled slightly, and he recognized an approximate number, frowning slightly: "At least several hundred."

At first, it was like the slight movement of ants climbing, but it didn't take long before it was like a flood.

Everyone saw that all kinds of little devils, big devils with sticks, hell dogs, and lava slimes all surrounded the team from all directions in the forest.

It's not a small group of enemies, but an army of monsters!

The little devil has tried it before, probably with Katu's combat power.

But those two-meter-high big demons can resist bullets, which obviously already has the combat effectiveness of a formal card master.

Among the group of monsters, there was also a five-meter-tall gray-skinned giant with an ugly face.

Very eye-catching!

【Giant Demon】

Detailed Explanation: The first-order D-level calamity, a demon with the blood of giants, it has powerful strength and thick flesh;
Seeing this, all the hunters cursed: "Damn it! How can you be so unlucky, you met the monster army as soon as you came!"

Ji Xun took a quick look at the monster tide, and his expression didn't change much.

He was not surprised to encounter a monster.

But to his surprise, they didn't meet all the way, but they met here?
"Is this being ambushed by a demon?"

Thinking of something, Ji Xun suddenly sneered in his heart: "Oh, that young master Kahn really didn't disclose any news."

They're all in such a bad situation here.

It can be imagined that the situation of other teams is definitely not good.

Just this encounter, not many of the two hundred hunters survived.

But in fact, this can be avoided.

Because someone has already come in once before, and the relevant information about the D-level person has been spread out.

But in the information that Ji Xun bought before, it was all about space rewards and so on, and there was nothing about plot tasks at all.

It's not that the intelligence businessman doesn't know.

Instead, someone paid a higher price and monopolized the information.

You don't need to think about it to know that it is the Lionheart family.

But those guys knew that they would encounter a monster ambush in the sawtooth forest, but they didn't reveal anything before.

Still let everyone divide their troops to complete the "Beacon Tower Mission".

Ji Xun also guessed why.

The information in those guys' hands is more valuable if the development of the original plot is not changed.

And once the hunters die, the guaranteed death rate will be filled in the first place.

The trigger probability of "unexpected plot" will be the lowest.

This is of no harm to those in the Lionheart family.

Before I had time to think about it, the battle had already been triggered.

Seeing that they were surrounded by monsters, the hunters turned pale with fright, but they also took out various weapons and began to attack.

Ordinary firearms can still be used, and the long-range is firearms and crossbows.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang".
"whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh".
The battle also became intense in an instant.

But the number of monsters was dozens of times that of them, and the firepower of a dozen hunters couldn't hold back the monster army's footsteps at all.

But after a few breaths, the group of demons rushed into the flat ground where they were resting, and began a fierce close combat.

Ji Xun also failed to stay out of the matter.

Dozens of dexterous little devils charged up with sharp stone daggers.

Although the breastplate on Ji Xun's body is crude, it is enough to defend against most attacks.

With his current power, this kind of monster is almost one by one.

The long-handled ax in his hand swings wildly in a whirlwind, and when the shield hits, the little devil will die violently on the spot.

While killing monsters, Qidi also quickly refreshed the screen.

"Kill the 'little devil', battle merit +1"

"Kill the 'Cerberus', battle merit +1"

"."

In a blink of an eye, dozens of battle achievements were recorded.

There are too many monsters now, so I can only ask for luck.

And when Ji Xun glanced out of the corner of his eye, other people in the team also tried their best, and old man Xu had disappeared.

But the boy he was following was very heroic.

The young man held a fishbone thin sword, and almost every sword could accurately pierce the eyebrows of a demon.

A pile of corpses quickly piled up around him.

And the eyeliner of the black wolf group has transformed into a werewolf form at this moment, and it is also very powerful, with a little devil in each paw.

Although Ji Xun's skills in ax and shield are not high, he has already suppressed most of the demons with strength alone.

It was the time to glance out of the corner of the eye, probably because his "black knight" had too big a goal.

The D-level calamity [Giant Demon] also came up.

Ji Xun had no intention of backing down.

He also wanted to try to see what his current strength was.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang".
This monster like a mountain of meat came running, and it felt like the earth was shaking.

As soon as he came running wildly, the huge boulder mace with the thickness of a tree trunk hit Ji Xun with a stick.

"Hoo hoo" the strong wind pressed against the face.

This monster looks clumsy, but the speed of this stick is extremely fast.

The air on the stick twisted into ripples visible to the naked eye, showing the horror of its strength.

If you get hit head-on, if you are a black knight, you might be thrown flying even with your armor on.

Ji Xun didn't dare to take it hard.

Dodge lightly under your feet, avoiding danger.

"call!"

The sound of breaking wind brushed his scalp.

As soon as Ji Xun avoided it, the sawtooth tree trunk embraced by the two beside him was knocked off, and sawdust flew all over the sky.

The magic power of this giant is indeed amazing.

But look now.

It swung the stick down, but the backhand swing was clumsy.

Ji Xun keenly caught this weakness, and he was not polite.

While dodging, he swung his long-handled ax and struck the giant's knee with an axe.

"puff!"

Like chopping on thick rhino hide.

Magic body protection, the ax is not considered sharp, and the blade cuts into a few centimeters.

But it was completely cuticle, no blood in sight.

"What a thick defense!"

It was this confrontation that gave Ji Xun an accurate idea of ​​the monster's strength and defense.

He pulled out the axe, and with his backhand, swung the little devils around him into two severed pieces.

The giant demon drew back the mace at this time, and yelled "Aw", the frontal stick that was so fast to appear phantom, smashed down heavily again.

Ji Xun heard the howling wind above his head, glanced slightly, and avoided it easily again.

With another ax in his backhand, he slashed at the wound on the monster's knee just now.

Then he swung the huge ax backhand again, cutting out a cloud of blood on the little devils who wanted to sneak attack.

Fighting and fighting, one person and one monster is like turning into a turn-based battle.

The monster threw a stick, Ji Xun dodged it, and backhanded the axe.

so repeatedly.

There were too many monsters, Ji Xun withstood the D-level disaster, and couldn't take care of himself.

Other hunters are not capable of surviving enemies dozens of times their own.

The wild teams in the temporary group didn't trust each other, and there was no way to talk about any cooperation.

The screams were endless.

Although most of the demon legions are not strong, they are superior in numbers.

Each of them held a sharp stone dagger and aimed at the hunters to pierce blood holes.

Dozens of monsters pierced together, and the cold arrows shot from time to time, the hunters couldn't stand it at all.

The 13 people fought on their own, and in the blink of an eye, there were only three places in the huge forest that were still fighting fiercely.

Ji Xun, the captain of the Black Wolf Group, and the boy holding a rapier.

The combat power of the three of them is far superior to that of ordinary hunters.

At this time, the turning point also came.

Ji Xun slammed his axe, hitting the Giant Demon's left knee for the seventh time.

This time, the ax finally went in.

With the sound of "Hang", the patella shattered, and the five-meter-high body of the giant monster suddenly lost its balance and fell to its knees.

Don't look at this guy's invulnerability and terrifying strength, but after lying on the ground and unable to exert strength, the threat is reduced by half.

Swinging the ax twice again, the monster yelled "Awow" in pain.

At this time, the boy 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 game.

His expression froze, as if he had used some martial skill, "swish swish" pierced a rain of swords, and a blood hole appeared between the brows and the center of a large group of little demons in front of him.

Taking advantage of the moment when the tide of monsters eased, he rushed towards Ji Xun: "I'll help you!"

Ji Xun watched the boy rushing over without saying anything, and took the opportunity to block the giant's mace with his shield.

The boy's figure leaped nimbly, and then stabbed the giant demon's eyes with a sword.

This kind of thin sword is already a light and precise martial art line, and the young man's sword is very precise.

Ji Xun looked sideways slightly, because he saw a little cold light condensed on the tip of Jia Juvenile's sword.

That is the sword energy compressed to the extreme.

not much.

But enough!

With a "swish", it was like piercing into rotten wood.

The penetrating characteristics of the rapier made the blade easily sink into the giant's bull-head-sized head.

The monster still wanted to resist, the mana power surged all over the young man, and there was a "poof", like a bullet piercing through, a blood hole was pierced through the back of the monster's head, and red and white plasma flowed out.

Looking at this sword skill, Ji Xun sighed in his heart: "The strength is not bad."

Among hunters, it is rare to find such a bright master at such a young age.

At the same time, Qidi reminded: "Kill the D-level calamity giant monster, combat merit +70"

It is estimated that the space judged the team to kill, and the boy also got some combat achievements.

But it doesn't matter, dozens of points of military exploits will come out just by swiping.

His combat achievements have now reached "231" points, and he has already met the minimum requirements for going out.

The boy's sword did save Ji Xun a lot of trouble.

The juvenile's judgment was accurate.

After killing this giant monster, the remaining hundreds of monsters lost their leader and retreated screaming like a tide.

There was a lot of corpses left.

There are still three alive.

Ji Xun, the boy, and the werewolf who was wounded and panting heavily.

Oh.

No.

is four.

Hearing the sound of the monster escaping, from a tree hole, the old man Xu who lacked his front teeth came out in disgrace.

The thief's small eyes looked around for a while, seeing that there was really no danger, so he dared to crawl out.

This guy stinks all over his body. I don't know what kind of feces he smeared, and he smells sour like cat feces from a long distance away.

He didn't show any embarrassment, and muttered: "Hey, why did you suddenly meet so many monsters?"

The boy also walked over and helped his grandfather pat the shit on his body.

A look of disdain flashed across the werewolf's eyes.

Ji Xun looked but narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't underestimate it.

To be able to survive, this is the real skill.

It was a good thing to survive the catastrophe.

But suddenly, the atmosphere became subtle.

The magic power on the giant monster gathered, and the small horn on the top of its head suddenly lit up with red light.

This is the "devil horn" that only disaster-level demons can produce.

This is a key item to improve the hidden rewards of customs clearance settlement, and it is also a must-have item for exchanging military exploits for top military supplies rewards.

The eyes of the four were all attracted to them.

Ji Xun was also polite, and directly cut off the corner with a knife.

But with this action, the captain of the black wolf regiment in the distance had other ideas.

He snarled: "Hello."

Ji Xun looked up at the guy.

The man said: "Give me this corner. I'll give you 100 million after I go out."

Ji Xun didn't want to talk to him.

After packing up, deal with this guy.

But from the corner of his eye, he went deep into the dense forest, and suddenly thought of something else, and changed his mind: "But I want to keep it for myself."

As he spoke, he seemed to pretend not to know the identity of this guy, and he didn't see the cruelty hidden in his eyes, and said in a teasing tone: "After all, if you win the special card, you will not have to worry about it for a few lifetimes."

"."

When the man listened, his expression turned cold instantly.

Before coming in, Young Master Kahn offered a reward of 500 million devil horns.

You can also record credit in the guard.

Whoever gets it will be able to stand up immediately.

Unexpectedly, there was one in front of my eyes.

He definitely didn't want 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. 100 million is not low."

100 million is indeed not low.

But if you give it after you go out, it means you didn't plan to give it at all.

"tsk"

Ji Xun listened to the threatening words, and the arc of his sneer under the gas mask was even higher.

Bringing out the name of that young master Kahn, now everyone in the city of innocence should be more or less afraid of three points.

But by chance, there was a person in front of him who didn't like the young master.

"What if I insist on not wanting to sell?"

Ji Xun doesn't really want to talk nonsense with this guy.

But he didn't forget that there had been a very powerful archer shooting cold arrows in the dark of the forest.

Intuition told Ji Xun that the guy might not have left yet.

And now, that intuition is getting stronger and stronger.

When speaking, Ji Xun deliberately blocked his back in front of the tree trunk, avoiding some blind spots.

Hearing this, the eyes of the Heiwolf group were completely gloomy and cold. Great wealth and wealth are right in front of him. He will never give up. The muscles of his newly degraded werewolf body are beginning to twitch again: "What do you mean?"

He had observed this guy's battle just now, his strength was indeed good, and his agility was also good, but that was all.

This guy isn't even that good at basic fighting skills.

Being able to kill that D-level disaster was purely because the giant was too clumsy.

Ji Xun didn't explain any new or old grudges. This guy is still alive, just because he still has a little value.

He said meaningfully: "It means that you may die."

Before he finished speaking, he deliberately raised the axe, as if he was about to chop diagonally from left to right.

The man from the Black Wolf Group sneered in his heart, that's all?

He instinctively made an evasive movement.

However, before the ax fell, it was just when he made this movement of leaning back.

Murder has come quietly.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air came.

An arrow was shining with the luster of the rune, and the pitch-black feather arrow lingering with the energy of a black spiral pierced through the wolf's head precisely.

The speed of the feather arrow was so fast that the blood light burst out as soon as people saw the cold light.

The expression on the face of this guy from the Black Wolf Group froze for an instant, and he didn't even want to understand where the arrow came from.

Ji Xun was even given an extra look at the corpse, and quickly glanced at the direction the arrow came from, "Did you really leave?"

I said so much just now, just to try to see if there is a bait, and whether the archer can't help but attack an enemy who has exposed a big flaw.

I didn't expect to try it.

"The long-distance shooting of 400 meters is very powerful. This arrow also has a way."

Ji Xun saw more information this time.

He looked at this black iron quality [Devil Breaking Spiral Arrow] again, and judged what it was: a first-order C-level disaster, a silver-quality bow.

This is all mobile exploits.

Ji found his killing intent, and quickly put away the devil horns on the monster's corpse.

A piece of black iron material [Giant's Eyeball] was also produced from the giant demon's body.

Disaster's corpses are rare, and he didn't want to waste them, so he took out the containment card and put away the whole 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 living people present.

The old man with a missing front tooth in the distance shrank his neck from this look, and quickly pulled the young man beside him to hide behind the tree trunk.

Ji Xun said without a trace: "You have a share in killing this D-level disaster, but I will accept the devil horn. In exchange, you don't have to go to the beacon tower, I will light it."

After igniting, the teammates who are still alive can also share the battle merit.

Hearing this, the old man Xu was flattered and said repeatedly: "No, no, master, you are joking, you can take this corner, we have no objections at all. Without this brat's meddling, you can easily kill that 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, there must be some real skills.

Teenagers are not weak either.

But if they really had to do it again, the two of them might not be able to survive.

He didn't reveal any means, and Ji Xun didn't bother to waste time explaining.

Those ordinary hunters don't have anything of value, and if they save a little, it can be regarded as a dividend for the final blow of disaster.

After simply packing up the loot, he turned around and entered the forest alone.

Ji Xun left.

The old man Xu also let out a long breath, "Oh, that guy finally left. That murderous look, if I dared to say no to the old man just now, I am afraid that today we will have to confess here."

Seeing the old man's genuinely unafraid expression, the young man pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa~ Although that man is powerful, he shouldn't be too far."

After thinking about it, he stated his observations in a straight-forward manner, "That man's fighting skills are still very unfamiliar, and he is only at the level of 'intermediate fighting'. This strength is stronger than any guard in the Lionheart family. It's just that It's just a little more agile than the average black knight."

Old man Xu listened, and chuckled: "The werewolf dared to force his purchase before, and he thought so too. Do you think he is like this now?"

"But it's not him either."

The boy wanted to say that the man didn't kill him.

But when I think back to the scene of the headshot with an arrow, the more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.

Before the young man could figure it out, the old man continued: "Cruel places like Innocence City are not bonanzas. There are no flamboyant young masters and ladies who rely on skill cards to pile up. You can't live without real skills. Intermediate fighting only It can explain one thing. The time for that person to enter the rank is too short, and he has not come to the rank to make his martial arts and body fit. He was deliberately practicing with monsters just now. That is to say, he can advance to a formal spell card master, definitely not Relying on mid-level fighting, but hiding the real means. Even the black knight professional sequence is just a disguise."

"what?"

The teenager didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it, he wondered again: "But how did that person know that the demon archer hid in the forest and did not leave? He also concluded that he would definitely make a move?"

"Do you really think that people are really stupid, what are you trying to force Lai Lai to do?"

The old man asked a question, and answered by himself: "That man didn't intend to sell the devil's horn at all. He went there with murderous intentions from the beginning to the end. If the werewolf opened his mouth, he would die. The value of living a moment longer , just as bait."

While tidying up the corpses on the ground, he added: "I disdain to be with Xiao Xiao, but I can't restrain the restless killing intent in my heart. A very contradictory person. I don't understand."

Hearing this, the boy blinked and asked curiously, "Grandpa, can you beat him?"

Old man Xu spat, with an expression of not wanting to cause trouble for the old man: "Bah, with your grandfather's crappy methods, it's good to save your life, and you still expect to be in the limelight?"

As he spoke, he said again: "Clean up and prepare to leave."

Boy: "But you don't have [-] points yet."

The old man Xu had a wretched smile on his face: "It's on the battle merit card of the corpse. They saw that you made up the sword with a superfluous move, and they didn't hesitate to give us some rewards. It's already very kind. Oh, of course, it's also possible I have to be busy chasing that demon archer, and I don’t have time to pick up junk. Anyway, these corpses are cheaper for us.”

Compared with the corpse, the boy obviously cared more about other things: "Ah, did that person go after the archer?"

The old man didn't take it seriously: "Otherwise? Why don't you spend so much effort to lure the archer out to shoot an arrow just to chase the archer?"

Hearing this, the young man fully understood, and said in amazement, "Can he catch up? I mean, it may be a half-blooded dark elf, a natural hunter, and it is impossible to be caught in this environment. Even if it is an agility system The card master can't do it either."

The old man shook his head: "That's why I said that you are still far away from others. If 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 to do?"

"It's because he didn't see it that that person left so simply. Otherwise, if we really got a glimpse of some secret, we might be murdered."

"I don't think that person will."

"You kid knows shit."

"."

"I think there is a high probability that he came for the young master of the Lionheart family. Forget it, it doesn't matter what he came to this different-dimensional space for, it has nothing to do with us. I used the secret method to ask the demon's corpse before. , I don’t have what I’m looking for. Let’s go, there’s no point in staying in this space anymore.”

"Ah, but I still want to see the war mode."

"Know your size! Isn't it good to live? You kid, don't show off like this next time. I have told you many times that you have to keep a low profile in order to live a long time."

"."

The grandfather and grandson restrained the corpse, bickered all the way, and ran all the way back towards the fortress Youzai Youzai.
