Ji Xun knew that this was a human being, and he didn't worry about anything.

He walked over directly and identified himself: "Mage Ronan, I am a member of the Scout Corps sent by the Kingdom to investigate the secret passage of demons."

Tell us a little about who you are.

Before he could finish speaking, Master Naronan spoke, "Don't touch the forbidden chain on my body. Otherwise, the devil will find out. ”

“.“

Ji Xun wasn't ready to move.

He had just seen that this guy was not tied with an ordinary rope, but a rune chain with the effect of banning demons.

But listening to the old mage's words, there was no change.

He wanted to hear more information, but pretended not to know, and said, "Demon? ”

"Not bad."

Master Ronan didn't say much, and instead asked, "Do you have anything else that can prove your identity?" ”

Ji Xun thought about it, took out the battle card, and a few demon horns.

Looking at those demon horns, Mage Ronan obviously believed it as well, and said, "No wonder you can come here." The strength is really good. ”

As he spoke, he sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, many people in the Meteor Eagle Fortress should have been invaded by demonic minions right now. I didn't think anyone else would be able to avoid the demon's eyes and sneak into the dungeon. ”

Ji Xun was still unsure of the position of the old mage in front of him, and also said tentatively along the topic: "When I came here before, I found that many people had problems. Can you tell me what the hell is going on, Master Ronan? ”

This is the standard script to guide the plot.

Ronan also seemed to know that his situation was very bad, so he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Three months ago, we found that the number of demons in the Sawtooth Forest was abnormal. Then I guessed that maybe the demons in the north had some secret passage through the Wailing Abyss, so there was an investigation all the time. Then we stumbled upon a very suspicious place, and my old friend took his troops there, and he fought a big battle with the demons. But when he came back, he became very strange. He no longer pursued the passage, nor did he arrange for anyone else to go again. I thought he was injured and wanted to take the team to see it myself. As you can see, I'm now trapped in a dungeon. ”

Sure enough, NPCs are the ones who know the plot the most.

And not them, outsiders.

The words are very informative.

Ji Xun listened carefully to every word in these words.

This is obviously the time when those soldiers said that the fortress commander and the demon were injured in the battle.

Something suspicious was found?

Ji Xun was also afraid that something would happen to this guy when he said it, so he asked directly, "Where is that location?" I can go investigate. ”

With a terrifying expression on his face, Ronan said, "Near the barren spire. Just thirty kilometers northeast of the fortress, near the edge of the abyss, there is a stone tower. It was once the grave of a soldier who died heroically in battle with demons. But be careful, those red-eyed bats are devil's eyeliner."

Ji Xun carefully wrote down the coordinates.

Time simply does not allow for beating around the bush, he thought about it and asked directly, "Master Ronan, forgive me for taking the liberty of it. Now that you've found out there's something wrong with the commander, why doesn't it kill you? ”

Hearing this, Ronan praised with an approving expression on his face: "Young man, your mind is very thoughtful. ”

After a pause, he said directly, "My life and the magic prohibition of the fortress are connected. This is a military secret in the fortress that only me and the commander know. The fortress itself is also a beacon, and as soon as I die and the beacon is lit, the kingdom will inevitably send someone to investigate. So they sealed my magic and imprisoned it here. I couldn't even kill myself. ”

“.”

Ji Xun listened to it suddenly.

No wonder this NPC would be locked up in a dungeon instead of killing it once and for all.

Mage Ronan didn't hesitate, and finally saw a kingdom soldier, so he directly arranged the task: "If you can, I want you to send the situation of the Falling Eagle Fortress back to the Thunder Fortress first." The Demon Pioneer has arrived, and the top echelons of the kingdom have not paid any attention to it, so I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss in the future."

Ji Xun heard this, and also knew that coming to the dungeon should inevitably trigger this plot.

With that, Master Ronan said, "I'll give you the magic key to the fortress." You go to my abode, and there's a dark compartment behind the seventh book on the bookshelf, where you'll find my rune token. That proves who you are. But be careful, the rune token is necessary to control the authority of the fortress enchantment, and the demon is also looking for it."

When Ji Xun heard this, enlightenment had already appeared: "Trigger the B-rank legion plot 'Mage Ronan's Message'. Before the mission is completed, everyone must cover the token holder's smooth return to the Thunder Fortress, otherwise they will not be able to leave the space. The mission rewards 30,000 merits;"

As he expected.

Coming to the Falling Eagle Fortress really triggered the advanced difficulty plot.

But only. Class B?

Ji Xun looked at the content of the task, but there were some other things in his mind.

Even when Ji Xun was in the Meteor Eagle Fortress, the three hundred elites of the Beast Legion had already arrived in the middle of the Sawtooth Forest.

They had long known from the information that there was a second-order D-class calamity hidden in the cave here.

That's exactly what they're trying to do.

The trials of the descendants of the Lionheart family require them to clear a difficult interdimensional space, and then personally kill a calamity that is not lower than the second order.

Right now, this head is just right.

Although he was blocked by the demon army all the way before, he lost a little manpower.

But the combat power of the beast legion is not much less.

It is more than enough to hunt down a second-order calamity.

At this moment, the Ninth Young Master of the Lionheart Family, Karn, was sitting leisurely in the marching tent, drinking coffee and eating dessert, enjoying the gentle service of two well-behaved military maids.

For a top-level gate valve young master of his level, the mortality rate in the alien space has never had anything to do with them.

That's something for subordinates to consider.

The legion commander came to the tent, and he didn't dare to look directly at the fragrant scene of the two women serving, and bowed his head and asked: "Young master, the vanguard scout has confirmed that the cave in front of him is the second-order D-class calamity. Please instruct! ”

Karn lazily said as he played with the girl's beautiful carcass, "Just go according to the plan." ”

"Yes."

The commander saluted and said, "The Beast Legion will first lure the demon out and cripple it, and then the young master will hunt and strip the demon horns." But before that, young master, you may need to prepare your battle armor in advance, and the recorder will record some magical images of your battle."

Karn had an impatient expression on his face, and then he got up from the gentle and delicate bodies of the two women: "Got it. ”

The legion commander did not dare to say anything more and withdrew from the tent.

As long as you kill the scourge, the mission is complete.

But after exiting the tent, the commander's palpitations, which had been looming just now, became more and more intense.

Suddenly, it turned into a beast, revealing a pair of fox ears.

He, like most of the warriors of the Beast Legion, is in the [Four of Spades-Beast Walker] career sequence.

But the main material of the class card is that he is not a beast.

Rather, it is a very rare magical beast [Flash Fox] that is fused.

This gave him an extraordinary sense of crisis.

The commander did not know where this sense of crisis came from.

Looking up at the several beacon towers lit up in the distance, the expression on his face was not relaxed, but solemn, and asked loudly: "What's the situation with the beacon over there, is there any news coming back?" ”

Someone had already been sent over, but the sixth beacon was still lit up.

That is, something may have gone wrong with the elite squad they sent.

But it's still unclear if it was stopped by a monster or something else.

The Commander didn't think there was any first-order card master who could pose a threat to their five-man elite team of beast legions.

But the uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.

Obviously, this time it's just some cannon fodder hunters recruited, how can there be such a powerful character?

This inevitably makes people suspect that the person may have come for his own young master.

The messenger responded, "We've sent someone again, but there's no information back yet." ”

Command: "What about the rest of the world?" ”

Messenger: "The remaining beacons have also sent people to investigate. Some key intersections to the north of the Sawtooth Forest have also been stationed to intercept them, and no one will be allowed to break into the high-risk area in the northern part of the forest. ”

“.”

The commander listened to the report of his subordinates and nodded, and then he felt a little more at ease.

Could it be that I am too nervous and worried?

Now they have the key information of that C-level plot in their hands, and no one will want to go out until they complete the mission.

The initiative is entirely in their hands.

It was found that the beacon tower had been lit before, and additional manpower had been dispatched to block the road at key passes in various parts of the forest.

Theoretically, they had ruled out all factors that might affect their young master's trial.

However, the unexpected came.

It came very suddenly.

Before the commander had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Without warning, everyone in the Beast Legion saw the inspiration.

Looking at the plot mission of "passing Master Ronan's message back to Thunder Fortress", everyone in the Beast Legion widened their eyes.

Because

They didn't trigger this quest!

The huge camp was instantly like a great enemy.

The commander shouted: "Damn it! Who triggered the B-level difficulty plot?! ”

The difficult plot doesn't mean that it can be triggered, and without that strength, it's impossible.

What's more, the C-level plot has not been completed yet, and the follow-up clues are unclear, how did that person trigger the B-level?

Now, no one can leave until this B-class mission is completed.

That means they can't get out!

This is a war mode, even if it is an elite like them, the staff committee estimates that the mortality rate of B-level difficulty is more than forty percent.

However, what they didn't expect was that there was more to the accident.

It didn't take long for Enlightenment to appear again.

In the dungeon of the Eagle Fortress.

Ji Xun looked at the B-level letter delivery mission that appeared in Enlightenment, his eyes flew, and his mind had already thought of the various plots that would happen after receiving the task.

Even if you haven't gotten that "magic token" yet.

He could also guess that Bacheng, like the Demon Horn, was a special item that could not be included in the space.

It will also leak traces for some reason to attract demons.

He sends a message all the way back to the Thunder Fortress, and he will inevitably be hunted down by the demon legions.

Oh

And the hunt of the beast army!

Ji Xun doesn't think it's a good choice to get that thing by himself right now.

And, most critically.

He didn't think that strength was enough.

"Judging from the current plot difficulty, the B-level difficulty is at most a few second-order ordinary demons."

Ji Xun estimated the difficulty of the B-level plot according to the previous D-level difficulty.

It was soon concluded that

This can give the Beast Legion a loss,

But not so much that it will be wiped out.

If you don't die, you will have endless troubles.

It's just that the B-grade plot is triggered.

This is clearly not as expected.

The only really good news is that the mission wasn't completed, and the Beast Legion guys couldn't get out.

Moreover, it's one thing to do things.

Clearing the game is also part of the fun.

Ji Xun also felt that completing this task of sending a letter was not the right way to clear the customs.

It's just the middle link.

At present, the ultimate information that all the clues point to is still the "secret passage of the demons".

He thought of something else.

When Ji Xun saw this task, a bolder plan suddenly appeared in his mind.

The Beast Legion is Ji Xun's biggest threat at the moment.

But from some perspectives, it's also positive.

Those guys chose to recruit two hundred hunters to be bait.

Then in Ji Xun's eyes, there is no better bait than the Beast Legion!

To protect the young master, they had to concentrate their forces.

Just like the time of the Great Graveyard Labyrinth, such a large target would definitely attract the firepower of most of the demons in the Sawtooth Forest.

It's still an "outpost battle".

This means that the number of demon legions coming to the Sawtooth Forest is not too large.

Judging from the current intelligence, they are lurking in the forest, and they are slowly infiltrating the three major fortresses.

There was no major attack now, simply because they thought the invasion plan had not been exposed, and the fortress infiltration did not meet expectations.

But. What if it's exposed early?

Ji Xun was sure that if the Demon Legion knew that the plan was exposed, it would definitely choose to attack the three major fortresses in advance regardless of everything.

Otherwise, all arrangements will be wasted.

When the time comes, all the hidden demons will come out of their nests.

However, with a super army like the Beast Legion operating in the sawtooth forest, it will definitely attract the main force of the demon in the first place.

This is also a great benefit for Ji Xun.

He was crazy and conceited, but not blindly.

Because he already has an idea to clear the level!

If the plan goes according to what he expected, it is very likely that he will be cleared.

Because, the number of demon armies is limited!

Once a full-scale war breaks out and the Beast Legion attracts the main force of the Demon Legion, the number of demons in other places will be greatly reduced.

For example: near that secret passage!

Ji Xun's inquiry just now had already gotten the clue of the direction of the passage, which was near the "Barren Spire".

If you think about it with your ass, you know that such an important place must be heavily guarded.

If he sneaks rashly, even if he has a relic-level stealth cloak, Ji Xun is not very sure.

But now there are people who attract firepower,

There is no better chance of this!

But the only thing that is not ideal right now is that the monster strength is not enough.

Letting adventurers in the extradimensional space is definitely not sending them to death.

Instead, it is assessed that with so many people coming in, it will definitely be able to deal with the number of monsters of the corresponding difficulty.

But the current B-level difficulty is definitely not up to the strength to wipe out an elite legion like the Beast Legion.

It needs to be more difficult!

Elsewhere, it's really impossible to detonate this plan.

But just now, Ji Xun captured a very important message from this Ronan mage: as soon as he dies, the Falling Eagle Fortress will ignite the flames of war.

Both demons and humans will know that something is wrong!

It's a lot more direct than sending a letter or something.

Once the demon knows that the plan is exposed, he will inevitably choose to attack in advance.

The alternate space is a random plot mode, even if you receive a task, you can change the digging deep!

Thinking of this, Ji Xun looked at the old mage in front of him, and suddenly said, "Master Ronan, I won't tell you, the current situation may be more critical than you think. The demon armies have spread across the Jagged Forest. After my investigation, I'm sure that in the Thunder Fortress, there are also demons in the Inner Fortress, and just by relying on our little strength, we can't hold the Northern Fortress. ”

After a pause, he added, "If I deliver the letter now, I don't say whether it can be delivered smoothly." The time consumed by this process will also give the demons of other fortresses time to prepare. And if I were exposed, we would lose the only opportunity we have at the moment."

The mage Ronan clearly understood the underlying meaning of his words.

After a moment of silence, a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Young man, you are more courageous than I thought. ”

When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't say anything more.

It's good that the old man understands.

Whether this extradimensional space is a parallel world or some other existence.

The role of the old mage is destined to end in tragedy.

And it's time to make a choice from a rational point of view.

The longer it drags on, the worse the situation of the human camp will be in this third Holy Grail War.

Ji Xun's hint is also obvious, as soon as the old mage dies, the news can be passed on as soon as possible.

Even if the old man didn't agree.

Ji Xun will also help him.

But obviously, this Master Ronan understands the righteousness.

Those kind eyes looked at Ji Xun, obviously the consciousness that he had made a sacrifice.

But he suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the task: "If you were in the same situation, would you make the same choice as me?" ”

Ji Xun was stared at by that wise gaze, and he didn't feel that the old mage in front of him was an NPC at all.

This question is like the collision of human wisdom and morality in two time and space.

He thought for a moment and said lightly: "If I were you, I would." But I'm me. I will deal with any problems that come my way. My belief will not be changed by circumstances. ”

Master Ronan listened and smiled.

"You are the brightest young man I have ever seen in recent years."

He seemed to agree with this answer, and nodded: "There is a magic secret book hidden on the bookshelf of my residence, which records my research on the demon clan over the years. I gave it to my friends. The war is much more than that. I hope that you can do what you said, the road ahead, you will be firm in your belief and keep going. ”

“.”

Ji Xun wasn't sure if this triggered the hidden plot of the alien space, or if the old man really wanted to give a gift when he was dying.

Suddenly, for a moment, he felt that this kind of person should not die.

Even if it's a plot character in an alien space.

Ji Xun thought of something else.

Thoughts that have nothing to do with the extradimensional space.

Who can guarantee that he must not be a plot character in the eyes of some higher-latitude existence.

But time does not allow for much hesitation.

With a flash of thought, Ji Xun cut the forbidden demon chain with a knife.

The chain has been broken, and the demons outside will be the first to notice.

Ji Xun didn't dare to stay, "Farewell!" ”

With a thud, he lunged up towards the entrance of the dungeon.

As soon as Ji Xun arrived at the exit, he suddenly felt a violent surge of magic behind him.

It was as if a switch had been triggered, and immediately the entire fortress lit up with dazzling magic runes, and a beam of blue light shot into the sky.

The beacon tower of the Falling Eagle Fortress has been lit!

At the same time, Revelation has already appeared: "The beacon of the Meteor Eagle Fortress has been lit, triggering the unexpected plot 'The Demon Plan is Exposed, the Fortress War Begins'. The demons know that their plans have been revealed, and the eight demon leaders hidden in the Sawtooth Forest will move to attack the three fortresses. The fortress has been closed and no one can return to the fortress. Story difficulty increased to A."

Ji Xun was not surprised.

This kind of plot is worthy of A-level difficulty.

He lurked in the darkness, quietly observing the dungeon.

Almost as soon as the blue light lit up, a figure rushed into the dungeon with great speed.

The compass in his hand spun rapidly, and he knew that it was the second-order calamity disguised as the commander.

Immediately, a fierce battle sounded in the dungeon.

Ji Xun didn't dare to have any delay, there was an old mage to help him drag the monster, this was the best time to get something.

He lunged towards the tallest buildings in the fortress.

On the other hand, in the sawtooth forest.

The people of the Beast Legion were still shocked who triggered the "B-class plot".

However, as soon as the enlightenment of this "A-level plot" appeared,

Everyone was shocked.

The legion commander was even more horrified: "Damn it! Who the hell is it! ”

B-level plot, he is still sure to pay a certain price to pass.

However, at the A-level difficulty of War Mode, even with such a well-equipped beast legion, the mortality rate is definitely extremely high.

The losses of the Beast Legion are trivial, and if they hurt Master Karn, then the trouble is really big.

Everyone in the Beast Legion was terrified and terrified.

Even that Karn was a young man, and he frowned when he looked at the "A-level plot" on Enlightenment.

More often, however, the offended chill of rage, "Tsk. Did you pay attention to hitting Young Master Ben's head?"

Equally confused, there are also those demons.

They also never expected that the human reinforcement corps was still in the south of the forest.

Why was the beacon of the Meteor Eagle Fortress set on fire?

But the fact is that the beacon of the Meteor Eagle Fortress is lit up.

Their invasion plans have been exposed.

A little bit of the beacon of the fortress, and the army of the human kingdom will be reinforced.

Although the set-up has not yet met expectations, it can no longer wait.

You have to act now!

Almost as soon as the beacon tower lit up, all the demons lurking near the mountain range were also given the order to attack in advance.

Countless bat clones gathered in the dense forest to form a tall figure, which was the second-order A-level calamity [Thunder Bat Commander Mitte];

A flame serpent also crawled out of the Red Ridge Cave, which was a second-order A-level calamity [Bone Snake Leader Tuttle];

There is also the second-order A-class calamity lurking in the Thunder Fortress [Heart-Bound Commander Buck];

The second-order B-rank [Toad Commander Humm] hidden in the poisonous swamp of the Sawtooth Forest also slowly crawled out of the quagmire;

In the mountain of bones

Ancient cemeteries

Everywhere in the vast Jagged Forest, eight hidden demon leaders appeared, each of them leading tens of thousands of demon armies, and they all launched a fierce attack on the three major fortresses!

At the same time, the target of the attack is the human army in the forest.
