Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Elite Five
Probably the Demon Legion didn't expect that a human would light a beacon tower and then go to another.
Ji Xun sneaked at full speed all the way, and he didn't encounter any obstacles on the way.
The second beacon lit up very smoothly.
Then there is the third, the fourth, the fifth
It's almost exactly what was expected.
Ji Xun not only lit the beacon tower to gain 4,000 points of combat merit, but also gained four additional demon horns and some materials and equipment.
After he cleaned up a few places, he also figured out the layout of the demon legion.
In each beacon, there are about 2-3 calamity-level demon bosses.
One of them will stay at the beacon.
The others are going to kill the humans.
Because of Ji Xun's decisiveness, he also lit up five seats smoothly all the way.
However, his idea of lighting a dozen beacons was still hopeless.
The truth is that by the time of the sixth, the demon legion had already reacted.
Ji Xun encountered a heavily guarded beacon tower.
There is more than one C-level disaster like the [Dark Elf Shooter], and he doesn't dare to be careless.
Although a small group was drawn out and scattered to kill, it was also possible to clean up the sixth beacon.
But he didn't.
Don't dare.
Ji Xun also thought of something else.
He ticked the time.
A trap was set up near the sixth beacon and hidden.
This
He didn't want to fish for demons.
It's people.
After all, as soon as the beacon tower was lit, almost the entire sawtooth forest could see the blue light like a lighthouse.
It's not just demons who will notice.
Humans will notice the same.
Especially the people of the Lionhearts.
Those guys would probably be very surprised that any of the two hundred cannon fodder hunters recruited could light the beacon?
Such a powerful character suddenly appeared in the hunters, and someone would inevitably be sent to check it out.
Moreover, the beacon is lit in the order of the most recent, and this law can be followed.
In the case of Ji Xun, it is not difficult to find the person who lit the beacon.
Experienced hunters know that guarding against peers in the extradimensional space is more important than guarding against monsters.
It's similar to what Ji Xun expected.
It didn't take long for five figures to appear in the forest.
They were all cloaked in light-absorbing materials.
It's not magic equipment, it's technological equipment.
The staff officers of the Beast Legion had carefully studied all the rules of space long ago before entering the space.
In order to ensure the safety of the Ninth Young Master, they were also within the scope of the rules and made the most adequate preparations.
The five of them relied on this invisibility cloak to avoid the demon's eyeliner and quietly crossed the Jagged Forest.
The task they were given was to catch them alive if they could, and kill them if they couldn't.
There must not be any unexpected factors that affect the young master of his own family to pass the trial.
All five of them are elite guards in the Beast Legion.
Suddenly, they stopped.
One of the people in the team made a gesture.
The remaining four immediately understood: the target was in the direction of ten o'clock, about three hundred meters.
When the target is spotted, one of them takes off the invisibility cloak, and then the whole person sneaks and disappears into thin air.
This is an Assassin Spellmaster, the most common Scout class in the military.
Assassins first.
The remaining four people also quietly marched forward in the standard tactical position of "121".
The Black Knight is in the front, the Battle Medic and the Law System are in the center, and the last is the Bestiac.
There are both front and back to take care of, and he is not afraid of being assassinated by assassins.
The five-man tactic was no problem in the first place.
But they didn't know that there was already a pair of eyes waiting in the dark.
The sneaking assassin walked silently.
Looking at the special compass in his hand, he quickly confirmed that the target was on the trunk of the tree.
The assassin was very experienced in combat, and he didn't even make a sound when he climbed a tree.
He stepped on the branch, looked at the well-disguised "man" in front of him, and quietly drew his dagger.
Unbeknownst to him, however, thin footprints appeared on the shallow layer of developing powder laid on the trunk. In the void above his head, a sharp scalpel also revealed a cold glow.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of a dagger breaking through the air rang out.
The lurking "man" who plunged into the trunk of the tree.
But almost at the same time, a mid-air scalpel stabbed the assassin in the back and pulled down.
The leather armor did not play a defensive role at all, and the sharp blade of the scalpel slashed down instantly.
Even the bones and muscles cut out a twenty-centimeter wound in a hurry.
Ji Xun suddenly appeared and hit the sneaking assassin with a single sword.
At this moment, he also confirmed his conjecture: the demon horn would really reveal his location!
When Ji Xun found that the demon horn couldn't be put into the storage ring, he guessed that although this thing was a good thing, it was also a hidden danger.
This is the rule of space, not the inability of the object itself to contain.
Participants are clearly encouraged to snatch each other.
Ji Xun was constantly wandering before, and he was not afraid of being followed.
But now that it's hidden in the forest, this thing is with you, and it will inevitably reveal its location.
Now that I look at it, it turns out to be so.
The assassin came to the door accurately, which means that these guys from the Beast Legion have the means to locate the demon horns!
Ji Xun didn't think that if the people of the Lionheart Legion caught him, there would be room for good negotiation.
Since it's going to be hands-on.
Then it is necessary to attrition the enemy at the first time.
Ji Xun thought of this plan of this "demon horn" to lure the enemy.
It went as planned.
Ji Xun stabbed the attacking assassin hard.
However, he didn't wait for him to mend the knife.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Three cards shot at his location.
It came very timely.
The movement of the cards was very small, but it was these few cards that passed by, and they easily sank into the hard trunk and then pierced out.
You know, this kind of trunk with a diameter of one or two meters can't even penetrate the annihilation bullet.
Good cards!
Good tacit cooperation!
These three cards completely separated him from the injured Assassin at a safe distance.
The battered assassin also knew that he had been calculated, and dragged his seriously wounded body, and was about to turn over and fall to the ground.
Ji Xun was forced by the card to emerge from invisibility and instantly turned into a werewolf form.
However, he did not want to let the assassin go.
After dodging to the limit, the wolf's legs kicked the trunk of the tree, and slammed headlong at the assassin in mid-air.
The werewolf's explosive speed was obviously far beyond the estimate of the elite team of five.
After Ji Xun slit the assassin's neck in mid-air, a few cards were late.
With a "bang", the corpse fell to the ground.
The werewolf that Ji Xun turned into landed without the slightest delay, and bounced off violently.
It was the moment his feet left the ground, and he thrillingly avoided a big hand condensed by the earth element that grew rapidly on the ground.
Ji Xun caught a glimpse of it, squinted slightly, and sighed: "Is this the strength of the elite?"
Just by this tacit cooperation, he knew that this was definitely the strongest five-person team he had encountered.
The few cards just now, six [Trick Wind Blades] and one [Elemental Hand], are hundreds of thousands gone.
This kind of play is something that ordinary hunters can't even think of.
Fortunately, the assassin was killed quickly, otherwise the trouble would have been even greater.
"Are there only five of them?"
Ji Xun hid in the darkness and sniffed.
Now that the enemy is in combat mode, the aura is also emanating.
He could already make out the smell of the bodies of the four people who were still alive.
Those four will not ignore their teammates.
Watching the assassin fall from a tree, he didn't know if he was alive or dead.
Several people also slowly leaned over.
But when they reached a position of about a few tens of meters, they did not come any closer.
At this time, the guy who was obviously a spell card master suddenly took out an earthy yellow card, and as soon as the mana was infused, an earth elemental puppet was condensed.
Ji Xun, who was secretly looking at the puppet who opened the way, immediately guessed the intention, and a different color appeared in his eyes: "Tsk, it's really cautious." ”
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The earth elemental puppet walked all the way, and just as it came to the corpse, it detonated several pre-buried trick mines.
With this bombing, the value of the corpse as bait is gone.
"It's tricky."
When Ji Xun saw this, he knew that it would be difficult for him to kill the remaining four people head-on.
Originally, I thought that if I killed one quickly, the thunder could hurt one, or at least destroy the formation, there would be a chance to take advantage of it.
Now the plan is halfway done.
To kill the other four, the difficulty doubles.
But Ji Xun is not in a hurry.
He also has a plan B.
He knew very well that the team had been tasked with coming to him.
If they didn't complete the task, even if they knew that there was a mortal danger, the four of them would definitely not retreat easily.
At the moment, this retreat is clearly a tactical lure for the enemy.
If Ji Xun catches up, he will inevitably fall into the trap they arranged.
He's not that stupid.
Ji Xun didn't hide anymore, and stood up with a swagger.
Wearing a cloak and a gas mask, you can't see anything.
The four of them saw that he didn't chase him, and they also knew that the other party was not fooled, and they all showed their fighting form.
Looking at the outfit, there is an [Ace of Spades-Black Knight], a [3 of Hearts-Battle Medic], a [Block 8-Elemental Controller], and a Beastwalker who transforms into a bear.
Ji Xun looked at these guys, strong or strong, but he didn't feel threatened at all.
Because, none of them can catch up with themselves.
Instead, he looked at the black bear with a strong breath and took a second look.
"Earth Storm" can control the power of the earth element, and its defense is very strong.
The Black Knight is not easy to kill.
The two sides confronted each other in this way.
Although Ji Xun felt that he was sure of a single kill against any of the last four people.
But he was not sure that he would be able to bargain for the four of them.
He looked at the four of them coldly, and he didn't panic at all.
There was no communication between the two sides.
After a few breaths of confrontation.
Suddenly, an evil smile cracked at the corner of Ji Xun's mouth.
He raised his gun and fired a flare into the forest.
In an instant, the light was bright and blind.
Ji Xun liked a cold joke in his previous life, when you meet a tiger in the wild, you don't need to run faster than the tiger, you just need to run faster than your companions.
He is alone, and he comes and goes freely.
There were four people on the other side, what black knights, what bears, none of them could run.
It's not far from the beacon.
Since there is no chance for a hard encounter, then create an opportunity.
It was the moment the flare was fired, and the faces of the four people changed in unison.
They also instantly guessed Ji Xun's intentions.
The leading black knight decisively decided: "Withdraw first!" ”
However, it was too late.
There was already a rustling sound in the forest, and it was clear that the demon legions had surrounded them.
It's all been exposed, how could Ji Xun give these guys a chance to evacuate smoothly?
Just another flare had to be fired.
At this moment, the demons immediately confirmed their target.
Not just flares, but also Dirty Bomb Cards.
Ji Xun himself has suffered a few losses, and now he carries a lot of them with him.
Whoosh is a few shots past.
It's not a damaging card, and when the smell bursts, it's a big polluted area.
The four of them inevitably got some of it.
And once you run fast, the stealth suit or something is useless.
Ji Xun watched as the elemental controller took out a few cards and washed something for the four of them, and raised his eyebrows: "Yo, there is also a special [Purification Card]." Really well equipped. ”
It's easy to pollute, but it's hard to clean.
This kind of card, which is nearly 100,000 cards, ordinary hunters can't afford to consume.
However, there are quite a few [Dirty Bullet Cards] in the Ji Xun card slot.
If you purify, then I will swish and fly.
He wanted to see how many purification cards the other party had.
Ji Xun didn't follow the butts of the four people, just hung on the side, unhurried.
With him to show the way, those demons quickly locked the location of several humans.
Ji Xun ran the fastest, and the demons couldn't catch up with him, so they could only give priority to besieging the four beast legions.
I have to say that these four people are really strong.
Resisting the pursuit of hundreds of demon legions head-on, he didn't lose the wind at all.
But from the moment the four of them were exposed and ready to flee together, they were destined to not escape.
The speed of the fully equipped four people was not as fast as that of the little devil, and it didn't take long for them to be surrounded.
The two sides were caught in a hand-to-hand fight.
Seeing that the monster army bit those four people, Ji Xun was not in a hurry.
He ran out of the monster encirclement.
As soon as the cloak was put on, he hid in a big tree and watched the excitement.
A C-rank Calamity [Flame Demon], a D-rank [Giant Demon], and a C-rank [Dark Elf Hunter] who hides in the shadows and shoots cold arrows.
And then there's the thousands.
Almost all the monsters of the sixth beacon came.
That's a lot of pressure for a team of only four.
Although they are strong in single combat, they are difficult to beat with two fists and four hands.
The [Flame Demon] was like a monster that had come out of a volcano, and its body was full of red, shiny magma.
The Black Knight stopped the monster as soon as possible.
The shield blocked the monster's sword, and the extremely hot lava splattered everywhere, and the surrounding trees instantly burned black.
Ji Xun looked at it and was amazed: "This monster is so strong."
He was afraid of this demon before, so he didn't dare to storm the beacon.
His scalpel needs to be close to work in order to work, but this demon is covered in magma, how can he get close?
If it weren't for the black knight with this heavy armor and body protection, others would really not be able to get close.
Fortunately, someone has now tested the strength of the monster for him.
On the other side, the beast walker who transformed into an earth storm bear was also dragged by the giant demon at this moment.
Ji Xun had killed this monster with his own hands.
High defense and high attack.
He can kill alone, but that doesn't mean others can.
There is no relic-level [Plague Doctor Scalpel], this kind of terrifying power and thick-skinned monster is not easy to break through.
The Beast Legion is almost always standard equipment.
There are pros and cons.
Standard equipment has a high lower stat limit, but a low upper limit.
No matter how rich the Lionheart family was, it was impossible to equip these first-order guards with relic-level equipment.
The beast walker is still in the armor and half-flesh genre, just like Ji Xun's previous camouflage outfit, half-body armor, shoulder pads, leg guards, and a subtle fighting technique.
The main thing is to be beaten up in close quarters and be able to resist.
But compared to that giant demon, the human body is much worse than the demon.
Hard resistance is definitely not a good choice.
But if you don't pay attention to it, this monster can hammer two cloth armor spell card masters into pulp with a single stick.
This person was entangled in a blink of an eye.
It's hard to tell the winner in a short period of time.
The only variable among the four is the elemental controller.
This guy is now using a rock enchantment in one hand, protecting him and the doctor, and the other hand is flying around with various cards.
The [Rock Shield Card] is used for self-protection, the [Fire Serpent Card], [Lightning Card], and the [Ice Crack Card] are used for attacking, and the [Earth Crack Card] is used to block the pursuit of monsters.
It's just these cards, whoosh a few times and then disappear.
The effect is also very good.
The demons around are also harvesting in patches.
A large range of monsters, there is no stronger spellmaster than this class sequence.
If it really goes on like this, this elemental controller can really turn the tide of the battle if he frees up his hands after killing all the mobs.
However, in the darkness, there is also a [Dark Elf Hunter].
When the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, a "whoosh" sound of breaking the wind came.
A pitch-black arrow seemed to shoot out of the void.
It wasn't until they appeared a few meters away from the four of them that they were seen with the naked eye.
The elemental controller also reacted extremely quickly, and as soon as he raised his hand to block, the mana shield was behind the rock shield.
However, the intelligence of the dark elves is not at the same level as that of other demons who only know how to rush without brains.
The arrow was not aimed at him, but at the doctor!
The spiral-shaped arrow pierced through the gap in the barrier, cleverly splitting the shield and striking the battle doctor who was throwing all sorts of flasks at him.
"Poof" A bloody puncture sound sounded.
The arrow pierced the doctor's lower abdomen from an extremely tricky angle, and the blood rushed wildly in an instant.
The doctor hurriedly administered first aid to himself.
However, the second arrow came again.
The battle was fiercely fought.
Ji Xun also took the opportunity to carefully observe the fighting methods of the four people.
Fortunately, there was a demon army to help him tempt, otherwise if he really had to touch it with his own body, he might have to suffer a big loss.
In the face of such a powerful monster, the four members of the squad also fought back and forth.
Even if it weren't for the dark elf who released the cold arrow, they still had the posture to turn the tables.
The battle of life and death cannot be hidden, and all kinds of hole cards are revealed.
Ji Xun can also get a glimpse of the individual combat power of the Beast Legion.
I also had an accurate idea of the strength of the 300-man legion that guarded Karn.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ji Xun gradually had some inspiration in his heart.
The two sides fought fiercely for a quarter of an hour.
As anticipated in Plan B,
The fight was a lose-lose situation.
The [Flame Demon] was held back by the Black Knight, and the Elemental Manipulator took the opportunity to fill the monster with ice spears.
And the [Giant Demon] is also full of wounds.
Especially the knees.
Ji Xun could think of this before, and the beast walker also thought of it, and it was a hammer to his knee.
But Ji Xun was able to stay safe and sound because of his high agility attributes, and he was able to avoid attacks every time.
And although the Earth Storm Bear that this guy transformed into has amazing defense, he is not good at displacement.
In order to drag the monster and not harass his teammates, he resisted the monster a few sticks, and was also beaten out many times, vomiting blood.
The doctor was seriously injured again and was too busy to take care of himself.
The four-person squad struggled more and more in the monster siege.
They haven't forgotten that there is a mysterious person who is coveted in the secret, and they are also afraid to fight.
But I can't help it.
Ji Xun watched silently in the dark.
That elemental controller is really fierce.
One person killed hundreds of monsters, and he had the posture of killing through the demon army.
But after all, human mana is limited, and so are cards.
As soon as he supported the mana shield and withstood hundreds of demonic damage, it didn't take long for the firepower to weaken, and the shield's luster also dimmed significantly.
The [Dark Elf Shooter] hiding in the shadows found the right time and pierced this guy's thigh with an arrow.
It was this arrow that announced a turning point in the battle.
Demonic minions poured in frantically, and the four of them were already coping with it more and more reluctantly.
When Ji Xun saw this, he also knew that it was time for him to make a move.
He didn't rush to join the battlefield, but quietly disappeared into the darkness.
The two sides must be evenly matched in order to lose both.
Now, the demon legions clearly have the upper hand.
Ji Xun had to be wiped out by the demon first.
After observing it for so long, he had already determined the location of the dark elf.
Sneak away.
Sure enough.
He didn't go far when he saw a dark elf with a longbow in his hand on a large tree, engrossed in the battlefield a few hundred meters away.
Suddenly, as if she had seized some good opportunity, the bow in her hand suddenly turned into a full moon.
The opportunity was fleeting, and the werewolf incarnated by Ji Xun jumped suddenly, climbing dozens of meters on the trunk of the tree in an instant.
The dark elf sensed the danger, but it was too late to exert all the power on the bow.
As soon as she turned her face, a tall figure had already spread her on the trunk of the tree.
Ji Xun had experience in culling dark elf hunters, and this time he didn't give her a chance to break up into an elemental teleportation and escape, and he broke her neck with a claw.
"Kill the C-rank Calamity 'Half-Blood Dark Elf Archer', +300 Merit"
Without waiting for those demons to react, Ji Xun quickly gathered his body and disappeared into the dense forest again.
On the other side, without the cold arrows of the shooter, the battle between the two sides was suddenly balanced again.
Ji Xun also continued to watch.
When one party is killed, he will come forward again, which is just right.
