Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ruins of the Demon Cross

Ji Xun was originally curious about what the outside world was like, but as soon as he came out, he heard the voice of Chu Jiu.

The urgency in his tone already indicates something.

Without any hesitation, he followed all the way into the mist.

There was a thick fog all around, and Ji Xun didn't know where he was, and it seemed to be night, and there was no light.

Fortunately, with the [Joker card] fused before, the night vision ability has been greatly enhanced, and the vision is generally unhindered.

The ground was concrete, and looking at the dark shadows around me, it looked like there were some tall buildings.

Ji Xun speculated that this should be in a certain complex.

Weeds, rifts, shadows of unidentified creatures... There are traces of decay left by the years everywhere, and it looks like the remains of an ancient city.

Chu Jiu didn't speak, just led the way in front, and walked briskly all the way.

It wasn't until they reached a platform that the two stopped.

Ji Xun took a look, it looked like the roof of a building, there were taller buildings in the fog overhead, and there were some low ones below.

Before he could see what place this was, Chu Jiu suddenly took out a bottle of potion, and then sprinkled it all over Ji Xun's body like a disinfectant.

Before Ji Xun could figure out what the situation was, he listened to his teammate say, "This is the [Elimination Potion]." ”

Chu Jiu knew that with this guy's IQ, he would never think of the reason, and he didn't have much to explain.

When Ji Xun heard this, he immediately understood the intention.

Just by the name, you know it's a way to prevent tracking.

His teammates were as cautious as ever.

At the same time, he also confirmed his previous conjecture, he broke through the extradimensional space and got into trouble.

Although there is a small probability that this junior high school is also coming for what he has on his body, but in the face of this teammate who is also in trouble, he is definitely better than the young master of the Cao family.

......

"Hold on!"

Chu Jiu ran out of the potion, and suddenly snorted softly.

Time was pressing, she didn't mean to explain at all, and grabbed Ji Xun's tactical vest as soon as she could.

Then he jumped down to the foggy cliff in front of him.

Although she had seen that this guy was very smart, she still had to admit that this guy's physical fitness was really terrible.

Let him jump by himself, I'm afraid he won't have to fall to death on the spot.

Although Ji Xun guessed that they were running away, this direct act of jumping off the cliff also made his eyelids jump.

Before he could react, his body was carried by Chu Jiu and fell rapidly.

Right!

It's a bungee jump-like free fall.

The soul was still on the platform, and the body had already fallen towards the abyss, chasing wildly.

Chu Jiu ejected the steel cable on the mechanical arm in mid-air, and the "hiss" steel wire elongation sound sounded, and then it sounded like it was hanging on some iron shelf, and there was a clang.

Ji Xun immediately felt that his body had a downward cushioning force, and his soul finally caught up.

The cold wind pavement, wet.

A mist rose on the gas mask, and he easily twisted himself with one hand by the weak woman who looked half a head shorter than him, swinging between the foggy buildings like a swing.

Although this method is a bit scary, the displacement speed is fast.

After about seven or eight catapults, they were already far from the previous building.

"Boom."

Ji Xun stepped on the ground with both feet, and when he looked closely, the two of them were stepping on a huge metal pipe.

The fog was thick, and there was still no bottom visible under the pipes. The sound of murmuring water could be heard, and it was estimated that it was at least twenty or thirty meters high.

Chu Jiu didn't look back and continued to walk in front to lead the way, and as she walked, she reminded: "Be careful, there are some distortion monsters in the ditch below, and it will be very troublesome to fall." Disturbances can also be noticed. ”

"Hmm."

The fog was filled, the water vapor was wet on the pipes, and it would slip off if he was not careful, Ji Xun walked cautiously.

At this time, he had the opportunity to say, "Thank you." ”

Obviously, this teammate has just done him a great favor, even saved his life, and it is only natural to say thank you.

Chu Jiu's tone was very calm, still the tone that he didn't want to owe favors: "I can't talk about thanks, just cooperate and take what you need." Without you, I wouldn't have been able to come out of that other-dimensional space. ”

She knew very well that without this guy's unbelievable way of thinking, she would not have been able to get out of the space smoothly, and she would have gained such a rich harvest.

Not only did she exceed her expectations for job transfer material, but even when she came out to settle the bill, she also got an A+ evaluation.

It is very rare to get an A+ in an extradimensional space of this difficulty.

This led her to draw another card that matched her.

Therefore, Chu Jiu felt that this favor was owed.

But it was precisely because of the high evaluation that she guessed that it would cause big trouble.

She knows very well that she has an A+ evaluation, and that teammate's evaluation is definitely higher.

S rating?

The probability is high.

But once someone in the extradimensional space makes an S evaluation, the entire space will inevitably collapse and disappear.

When the time comes, it will inevitably cause big trouble.

The ninth day of the first month stayed.

Sure enough, she didn't wait long nearby, and the 407 extradimensional space suddenly collapsed.

The four young men of the Cao family probably thought that they were dead, or that they were just apprentices of the card master, so they only sent some mercenaries from the Black Water Regiment to guard them.

And when the space crashes, the exit location will also become random.

This also gave Chu Jiu the idea of wanting to help.

The good thing is that everything goes well.

It was too easy for her to fool some mercenaries, but she used some means to make the fog thicker, and those mercenaries had already been found by her before they could see the situation.

......

Hearing this, Ji Xun smiled disapprovingly and said, "Miss Chujiu, you are too polite, I can't come out alive without you." ”

After a pause, he said again: "What's more, you have saved me again now." ”

Chu Jiu listened and didn't speak again.

Both of them are smart people, and they don't have to beat around the bush to speak, so there's no need to be polite to each other.

They walked on the pipe again, and the first nine in front of them jumped down and landed on another horizontal pipe four meters below.

That's about the height that a transcendent can jump at will?

But Ji Xun, a weak chicken, looked at this height, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Reason is not afraid, but physical conditions do not allow it.

He figured out that it was one thing to jump down and hurt his legs, but it was a high probability event to fall off the pipe and fall into the fog that he didn't know how deep.

Ji Xun was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "Miss Chujiu, if I fall, pick me up?" ”

“...”

Chu Jiu listened and glanced up.

This guy's domineering aura in the interdimensional space before and his demeanor of cowering when jumping a pipe now are really like two completely different people.

But it seems that looking at him like this, Chu Jiu feels that some thoughts in his heart are balanced.

Ji Xun saw that she acquiesced, and jumped down directly.

With a "bang" on the ground, the weak chicken's body swayed left and right, and it was expected to fall.

The moment he lost his balance, a hand pulled him back again.

Ji Xun stood firm and said again, "Thank you." ”

Chu Jiu didn't respond, but continued: "The S-level evaluation will disappear after clearing the alien space, which means that everyone now knows that the most important treasure inside is in the hands of you and me. The fourth young man of the Cao family found that the things in the space were taken, and he would definitely not give up. Moreover, the fame of the 407 space is not small, and many people in the Demon Cross Camp are staring at it. While the news hasn't spread now, you'd better hurry back to the City of Innocence, as long as you enter the city, even the Governor's Mansion will be difficult to find you..."

Speaking of this, Chu Jiu suddenly stopped.

Not everyone had heard of the "Epic Source Card", and she wanted to remind her of the value of that thing.

But as she spoke, she felt as if her words were superfluous.

There's no way such a smart guy wouldn't have thought of that.

But Ji Xun was stunned when he heard it, and then what?

He could naturally think of a threat or something.

But he didn't know anything about this world, what was the "Demon Cross Camp" and "City of Innocence", and he couldn't figure out what the situation was.

I wanted to hear more information from Chu Jiu's mouth, but I didn't think she would say it.

Ji Xun guessed her thoughts, but now that intelligence was obviously more important, he still asked directly: "So what do you think, I want to ... How can I go back to the City of Innocence to be safe? ”

Chu Jiu felt strange in his heart when he heard this, and felt that this guy shouldn't ask such a question. But he also responded: "Half an hour later, the Hunters' Guild's carrier train was about to leave the Demon Cross. Now that the news hasn't spread, it should be your best chance to leave. ”

Ji Xun silently wrote it down.

It turned out that there were also trains.

If you want to leave, it's really the sooner the better.

The Cao family attaches so much importance to the epic source card, even if he knows who took it, he will definitely not make a big deal about it.

While the news doesn't spread, leaving this ruin is the best option.

Of course, if he can leave without any problems.

.......

The two walked all the way on the pipeline for more than ten minutes, which was like a super large steel mill with all kinds of large and small pipes.

The surrounding buildings are also unique in style, tall and slender, like tall towers. Similarly, there are various pipes and covered bridges on each building, which has a strong magical punk style.

If Ji Xun remembered correctly, Chu Jiu said his name more than once, as if it was called "Demon Cross Ruins".

As they walked, the two of them had already walked to a platform, which was also high in the ruins, and their vision suddenly opened up.

The fog piled up like a sea of clouds under the waist of the building.

The two of them were right at the waist at the moment, and there were towering buildings all around.

Dilapidated, old, vicissitudes... Traces of time are everywhere, and the whole city is permeated with a mysterious and ancient charm.

However, what surprised Ji Xun even more was that this turned out to be a dungeon?

I looked at the sky, but I didn't see any stars, it was black.

The light source for the entire city seems to come from some of the crypts, plants and buildings themselves, and the materials themselves have a faint fluorescence.

And there's... Volcano in the distance.

A tall active volcano at the end of the view?

That's right, an underground volcano!

Ji Xun looked at it suddenly, no wonder he felt that there was always a smell of sulfur in the air.

The crimson magma flowing from the crater stands out in this dimly lit underground world.

If you look closely, you can see that the layout of the buildings in the entire ruins is a huge "cross".

Viewed from above, it looks like a mysterious symbol with some kind of magical effect.

No wonder this relic is called the "Demon Cross".

Ji Xun was amazed in his heart: "What a spectacular underground city, what is the situation in this world..."

Listen to this meaning, such a magnificent city is just an ancient ruin.

The city of innocence inhabited by humans is somewhere else.

Not far from the field of vision, a building is on fire, and there is a lot of people, probably the "hunter's camp".

Chu Jiu walked here and stopped, and was about to say goodbye: "There is a camp in front, and there are no distortions around here, so let's say goodbye." ”

"Hmm."

Ji Xun nodded when he heard this.

The escort has been very generous to this point.

The latter point is a distance that he can walk over himself.

I thought that Chu Jiu came to help me with some intention, but now that I look at it, I am really worried.

This teammate really doesn't want to owe a little favor.

At the time of parting, Chu Jiu finally reminded him: "There is one more point." Whoever asks in the future, you'd better not say you've seen me, or you'll get you in endless trouble. Also, don't mention to anyone what you've gained in this extradimensional space, otherwise... It will also be troublesome. ”

Ji Xun naturally knew, "Take care." ”

Chu Jiu didn't speak, and jumped down.

Ji Xun watched the figure disappear into the thick fog, without his teammates, the breeze around him seemed to be murderous.

Without further ado, he walked towards the camp.
