The battle in the dungeon is getting fiercer.

Now the beacon has been lit and the fortress war has begun.

The soldiers hadn't yet figured out what was happening, but the beacon's dark blue magical glow was already shining on everyone.

Those demons disguised as humans in human skins were illuminated by the light, and one by one they tore human skins and turned into hideous demon forms.

The soldiers finally reacted, and one by one picked up their weapons and fought fiercely with the demons.

In the blink of an eye, fierce battles were raging everywhere in the huge fortress.

Not only in the fortress, but also on the elevator basket and the arrow tower, there are also a large number of demons appearing.

Because of their early preparations, these demons destroyed all kinds of heavy city defense weapons in the first place. While causing casualties to human soldiers, it also brought siege convenience to the demons under the fortress.

Hordes of demons came out of nowhere.

Climb walls, ride in hanging baskets, fly with wings.

A general assault was launched towards the Meteor Eagle Fortress by various means.

The battle became fierce in an instant.

Ji Xun ignored the battle in the fortress, he sneaked all the way, and soon came to the residence of the deputy commander.

Various defensive enchantments had been activated here, and the magic key he had previously given to Mage Ronan had been granted permission, and he went smoothly.

Looking at the pointer, there were no monsters in the room.

The demons were so busy taking the fortress that no one bothered with any dwellings.

Ji Xun went straight to the second floor.

Both the commander and the deputy commander have their own separate residences.

There is a room with a window on the second floor.

The view here is very good, just in time to see the wailing abyss.

There is a row of bookshelves in the room.

Looking at the dozens of books on the shelves, Enlightenment did not translate these classics of unknown civilizations that have nothing to do with the plot.

However, all items shown are items that can be brought out of the other dimension.

Ji Xun is welcome.

Regardless of whether he recognized it or not, he packed it all and stuffed it into a storage ring.

It is only in the erudite mage's dormitory that so many books can be found.

Whether it is the knowledge in the classics or the content of civilization in this extradimensional space, he is very interested.

Then he also found the magic compartment behind the seventh book on the shelf, and opened it to see that there was a magic token inside.

As he expected, the token could not be included in the storage space.

And the spilled magic fluctuations are special, as conspicuous as the pearl of the night in the darkness.

Ji Xun only opened it for a look, and then closed it again.

By the way, he also put a few demon horns on his body inside.

These things do no harm to them now.

Anyway, it is an indefinite interdimensional space, and Ji Xun is not in a hurry.

He searched again, and found a manuscript with a hide-covered in another drawer with a magic mechanism.

Enlightenment shows the contents of "Mage Ronan's Demon Manuscript".

Ji Xun didn't look at it much, and put it away.

Seeing that there was nothing left out of Master Ronan's quarters, he turned and jumped out of the window, and then jumped towards the Commander's quarters next door.

That second-order demon is fighting with Mage Ronan in the dungeon at the moment, and he shouldn't be able to come back anytime soon.

Ji Xun had the magical enchantment authority of the entire fortress, which also allowed him to sneak into the house smoothly.

The Commander's room was very shabby, with a strong smell of alcohol.

Didn't see a single book.

There's nothing of value either.

However, Ji Xun saw at a glance that there was a silver axe on the equipment shelf.

【Fort Commander's Silver Glowing Battle Axe】

Quality: Yaoyin

Explanation: A fine long-handled axe forged from star iron, with +3 sharpness and +4 heavy hit, dealing an additional 30% damage bonus to demonic creatures;

The monster didn't take it because it wasn't suitable for demons.

"Hehe, sell money."

Ji Xun looked at the attributes and was disappointed.

After seeing a lot of treasures, my vision is also high.

Mainly, there are no special entries.

The reason why it is of the quality of Yaoyin is simply because the [Star Iron] of its own material is a rare metal.

It's still heavy, and I can't use it myself.

Ji Xun spent a valuable Yaoyin containment card to contain the axe.

Thinking that this axe can also be sold for a good price.

Ji Xun walked around the commander's residence, but found nothing of value.

Originally, he wanted to go to the Quartermaster Department to see if he could fish in troubled waters.

But suddenly, the magic fluctuations in the dungeon suddenly subsided.

Look at this stance, Mage Ronan has been killed.

Ji Xun didn't dare to wait for the second-order calamity to come out to find his trouble, climbed all the way along the rock wall, and left the fortress.

Not long after, on the cliff face.

"The eight demon commanders should all be at least second-order B-level or above calamity, and the three fortresses should hold at least three or four commanders, according to the combat power of the beast legion, how can they be tough head-on, just a few demon legions"

Ji looked for a place to stay, watched the battle of the Falling Eagle Fortress from afar, pondered in his heart, and then put his mind at ease to watch the play.

Now the battle has just begun.

There are more than a hundred kilometers of mountainous terrain from the abyssal wail to the Thunder Fortress to the south, and the demon army may have just come out of the lair and not far yet.

Ji Xun was not in a hurry to find any demon passages.

He was on the rock wall, took out the "Demon Manuscript of Mage Ronan" that he had obtained earlier, and looked through it carefully.

This is a plot item recognized by the space.

It must be related to customs clearance.

Ji Xun opened the manuscript, and it was densely recorded with an incomprehensible ancient script.

This is the Teresa script.

Ji Xun's gaze quickly swept over the content of the note.

Not only did I read the inspired translation, but I also wrote down the original text.

The content in the manuscript is all about Mage Ronan's research on demons, which can be roughly divided into several sections, "Encyclopedia of Known Demon Types", "Research on the Language of Lower Demons", and "Demon Totem".

Having been on the border for many years, this mage has a very deep understanding of the culture and habits of demons.

The content on it is even much more detailed than what Enlightenment sees.

It's just a demon encyclopedia.

Time is pressing, and Ji Xun sees it quickly.

I picked out some of the key points to look at.

Mainly for monsters, such as "Counterpotion to prevent spider silk from sticking", "Treatment of Demon Flame Burn", "Antidote to various common demon toxins".

Later, it is indispensable to fight demons, learn more practical skills, and also have more means of self-protection.

A few hours later.

Ji Xun closed the manuscript, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and couldn't help but sigh: "This manuscript can really help a lot." ”

From knowing nothing about demons before, to now clearly understanding the habits and weaknesses of dozens of demons.

Ji Xun felt that this information was even more useful than any equipment.

The [Giant Demon], which was thought to be invincible in defense, would have thought that its tail vertebrae had a section more fragile than an eyeball?

The Dark Elf has the ability to disintegrate into elemental teleportation, but inserting a needle into its collarbone will prevent it from collapsing.

The chelicerae of spider-like demons are a fatal weakness more than any other part.

And many, many more.

There is only one type of human, but there are many kinds of demons.

If Ji Xun hadn't read this manuscript, he would probably have to test his life when he encountered those various demons.

If you're not careful, you'll suffer a lot in those bizarre abilities.

And now, the confidence is suddenly much more sufficient.

It can be said that if Ji Xun knew about the habits and weaknesses of these demons in advance, even if he didn't have a scalpel, he would have the means to kill those calamity-level demons he had encountered before.

Ji Xun put away the manuscript and looked at the time.

It's been more than five hours.

Glancing at the Meteoric Eagle Fortress, there were only a few traces of battle left inside.

It's also close to the Wailing Abyss, where monsters are the most.

Previously, the fortress soldiers were able to take advantage of the cliff terrain to repel several waves of attacks.

But as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer living people, more and more demons, and the fall has been irreversible.

Calculating the time, the demon army is almost far from the lair.

Ji Xun didn't stay on the cliff for long, and quietly climbed down.

He hadn't gone far before he came to the chasm in the abyss.

Looking at the bottomless cliff in front of him, Ji Xun threw a few stones and tried it.

No reverberation was heard.

Fortunately, this rift is a normal earth rift, and there is no abnormal gravity.

Ji Xun jumped down and tried it again, and climbed a few hundred meters on the rock wall, but he didn't encounter anything strange.

In his eyes, this is the best location to get rid of the demon's pursuit.

He is now going to the devil's lair, not to mention anything else, he has to find a way out first.

And since it is a demon's lair, Ji Xun feels that there must be a lot of various sentinels, and it is best not to go to the regular route.

There is not much difference between a werewolf walking on the ground and a rock wall.

After Ji Xun was tempted, he didn't take the road above, but climbed on the rock wall hundreds of meters below the cliff.

The "barren minaret" was about thirty kilometers northeast of the fortress.

Next to the rift.

He had the impression of seeing a place marked with a stone tower on the military map he had seen before.

Ji Xun climbed all the way to the cliff.

Relying on the compass, he managed to avoid some places with a strong demonic aura.

In a short time, he came to an area filled with a cold mist.

I looked at the pointer.

There are no demonic fluctuations either.

He climbed from the cliff to the ground.

As far as the eye looks, there is a white tower made of stones not far away.

This is where once dead soldiers were buried.

The stone pagoda is the tombstone.

The old mage didn't say where the exact coordinates of the entrance to the demon's lair were, but Ji Xun felt that since it was a secret passage, it would definitely not be easy to find.

But to satisfy a large number of demons coming from the north side of the rift, the place must be not small.

I didn't see a drawbridge or anything in the abyss, maybe it was a teleportation array or something, a passage at the magic level.

So you have to try your luck in this large area of the neighborhood.

Wearing a relic cloak, Ji Xun walked into the white tower forest cautiously like a ghost, and looked for it patiently.

And it didn't take long to walk when he looked at the red-eyed bats hanging on key intersections in the White Tallinn.

He was sure that the passage must be around here.

The bats couldn't spot him.

Ji Xun continued to walk in the white tower.

Suddenly, a transparent "white sheet" wafted into the air.

Enlightenment shows [Ghost Polluted by Demonic Aura]?

"Ghosts?"

Ji Xun is also the first time to see a spirit monster.

It's not a threat to look at.

Probably a daylight bullet can be solved?

But looking at the prefix of the ghost, Ji Xun immediately realized that this eighty percent was the demon's eyeliner.

The intelligence of the higher demons is no worse than that of humans, and they must be able to think of some stealth secret techniques that can evade the surveillance of red-eyed bats.

Ghosts are monsters that perceive monsters not with the naked eye, but at the soul level.

This makes up for the shortcomings of the detection method of bat eyeliner.

The ghost's perception range is shorter than vision, and Ji Xun has not been found for the time being.

But it was also like a hound that smelled the smell, and gradually drifted over.

And there definitely look like there are a lot of ghosts in this Tallinn.

If you continue to walk, there is a high probability that you will be discovered.

"Ghost Sentry. It's really leaky. ”

Ji Xun frowned slightly when he looked at it.

Even when he saw the ghost appear, he was already sure that the demon's secret passage was nearby.

But now he's in a dilemma.

It is impossible to avoid it completely, and it cannot be eliminated yet.

Once the whereabouts were revealed, the stealth plan failed.

He is alone, and he has no ability to break into the demon's lair at all.

But how do you avoid ghosts?

Ji Xun searched for everything he knew about the ghost.

There are many ways to kill monsters, but it's hard to avoid them.

Ghosts are the perception of the soul level, and the living have souls, so they can't be avoided.

Suddenly!

A flash of inspiration flashed in my head.

Ji Xun's thoughts came to mind the obscene smiling face of an old man with missing front teeth, and the demonic voice echoed in his ears: burying your head in the crotch of your pants can make most ghosts and monsters not visible.

This is the method that the "Dog King" Xu in the previous team said.

His theory is based on the idea that ghosts can perceive the shape of a human soul's fire. But if the head is hidden under the crotch, the shape of the human soul fire will become very strange. The ghost will think it's the same kind and won't pay attention to it.

I don't know if it's bragging, Old Man Xu said that he once relied on this method to live a lot of resentful spirit spaces with a high mortality rate.

I heard the joke before, but I didn't expect to encounter it so soon.

"Why don't you try?"

Ji Xun thought about it in his head, but he couldn't think of any other better way.

If you really want to be exposed, rush it.

At least the location has been determined.

He thought so.

The ghost not far away has already floated over, and there is no room to think about it.

Ji Xun is a clown actor and is good at any antics moves.

Seeing that the ghost was already floating over, he suddenly bowed one hundred and eighty degrees, and directly hid his head under the crotch of his pants.

The world of the senses turned upside down all at once.

Ji Xun didn't move, just stood there.

However, a miraculous scene occurred.

Just now, it was like a ghost patrolling this way, as if it had lost its target all of a sudden, and it was drifting away.

And one of them was floating not far from Ji Xun, but there was nothing abnormal at all.

"Didn't you find out?"

Ji Xun also felt a little incredible, and a thought popped up in his heart: "That old man can't really be a hidden master."

He suddenly felt that the obscene old man seemed to be a bit of a clumsy feeling.

To be alive is really a real skill.

Since he tried, Ji Xun walked all the way to the depths of Tallinn.

Although the posture of the butt on it was strange, Ji Xun felt as if he was performing a burlesque mime without an audience, but found a little fun.

The further you go into Tallinn, the more ghosts there are.

Ji Xun went all the way deep with this funny action, and he was completely undetected.

At a moment when he passed through a cloud of fog, suddenly his surroundings changed!

"Discover the hidden plot, +10% Exploration"

"Completed the C-rank story quest 'Investigate the Demonic Secret Passage of the Wailing Abyss', +5000 for Combat Achievement"

Enlightening prompts.

Ji Xun's pupils shrank suddenly.

Only then did he find himself from a deserted graveyard to a busy demon war fortress.

Great Demons, Minor Demons, Fire Demons, Dark Elves, Giant Demons, Succubus, Hell Spiders, Wall of Flesh, Mimics.

I have seen it, or many strange demons that I saw in Master Ronan's manuscript before, have appeared in front of my eyes.

Did you really infiltrate the demon base camp?

When Ji Xun saw this, the excitement of the numbness of the scalp rushed into his brain like a tide.

And judging from the dense footprints on the ground, not long ago, a large number of demon armies must have left the base camp.

"It turned out to be an illusion barrier that was hiding the entrance."

Ji Xun observed the surroundings and suddenly realized.

He hid behind a rock and observed.

There are very few calamity-level monsters in this war camp, and most of them are coolie minions.

They carried engineering equipment, shoddy swords, and human corpses brought back from the front lines.

This is the demon's logistical troops.

As Ji Xun expected, the elites all went to the front line to attack the fortress.

Now is the time when the Devil's Lair is the emptiest!

Now that I haven't been discovered, I have to find a chance to make a wave.

Ji Xun's eyes reflected the monster camp in front of him, and his heart was gradually excited.

The ground camp was only a small part of the demon's base camp, and not far away there was a red-glowing cavern entrance that led to the underground.

The entrance to the cave was like a big demon's mouth with bared teeth and grinning.

There is no need to guess, there must be a lot of danger inside.

"Tsk."

Ji Xun looked at the corners of his eyebrows, but he didn't mean to back down at all.

I'm here, I'm sure I'm going to go in and have a look.

With a thought in his mind, he followed behind a few little demons carrying corpses without fear, and walked directly into the cave.

The further you go into the cave, the more spacious the passage becomes.

Torches illuminate the cave on the rock wall, and all kinds of demons come and go.

At regular intervals, you can also see some totem poles with demonic characters.

Those words are low-level demonic languages, similar to human ancient scripts, and they are all simplified and evolved versions of ancient high-level demonic languages.

Ji Xun had seen it in Master Ronan's manuscript before, and the contents of those totem poles probably recorded descriptions related to "space".

He hadn't walked for a while, and it was almost certain that the so-called "Demon Secret Passage" was some kind of spatial teleportation array.

The totem poles throughout the cave are the corners of the teleportation array.

Ji Xun sneaked all the way and followed the little devil very cautiously.

From time to time, he looked at the demon pointer, and he deliberately avoided some directions that obviously had violent numerical fluctuations.

The journey was also smooth.

But as he walked, Ji Xun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he actually saw several living humans coming out of the cave?

"There are still humans in the demon's lair?"

Ji Xun didn't have time to be surprised,

Suddenly, I listened to the humans muttering a few demonic words.

Only then did he understand,

This is not human.

It's a demon disguised as a human!

According to the manuscripts of Mage Ronan, there is a cunning demon called Pishtako, who can use human skins to disguise themselves as humans.

"It turned out that these human corpses were transported back to the base camp for this purpose"

When Ji Xun saw these "humans", he always felt that this method of changing skin was a little familiar.

But it was the first time I watched these demons walk freely in the cave,

An even bolder idea popped into his head!

Transformed into a werewolf, sniffed, those demons were completely human breath.

Otherwise, you won't be able to hide it from the people in the fortress.

After confirming this, a sinister smile appeared in Ji Xun's eyes: "Hey, it's convenient now." ”

Don't look at how smooth the infiltration is now, but this is the devil's lair after all, and there are far more crises than what is seen.

Although the Relic Hidden One can conceal most of the aura, it may not be able to hide it from those demons with a very keen sense of smell, such as high-level Cerberus.

And Ji Xun is sure that in some key places in this base camp, there are definitely means to detect sneaking targets.

In Mage Ronan's manuscript, there are several demons that can perceive hidden targets.

Like the silk of the hell spiders, the song of the wailing banshees, the mud and sand of the sand devils

These tactics are all excellent means of specifically restraining visual kei stealth.

If Ji Xun hadn't read the manuscript before, I'm afraid he would have plunged into it, and then he didn't know how he was discovered.

But even if you know, the risk is only reduced, but it cannot be eliminated.

Ji Xun could only be a little more cautious, but he still couldn't avoid the demonic perception with special abilities.

But that's no longer the case.

Parry?

No.

No need.

Since you can't avoid it no matter what, let's play bigger!

Thinking of this, Ji Xun suddenly put away his cloak and all the equipment on his body.

Just like the previous demons who had just finished changing their skins, they walked into the cave with their upper bodies naked.

In the form of a human being, he swaggered in!

The wisdom of those little demons, big demons and so on is already low.

Seeing that there was suddenly an extra "person" behind him, his first reaction would be [Pishtako] who had changed his human skin, and he didn't care at all.

Even if some high-intelligence demons sensed that something was wrong, looking at such a "person" who had no different colors at all, they would never have thought that there were really human beings who were so bold as to dare to swagger into the forbidden land like this.

Ji Xun relied on the means that made others feel "crazy" when they saw it, and he walked in smoothly all the way!

I just walked cautiously, but now I don't have to.

After walking to the depths of the cave, I met several [Wailing Banshees] squatting at certain intersections and singing.

If it really came stealth, it would be discovered immediately.

It was as if they had gone through a number of security checks, and the demons were completely unaware of anything unusual.

Ji Xun went all the way in.

Soon, he came to a cave with a strong smell of blood.

(End of chapter)
