The appearance of two temporary teammates must be an insight into their own pretending to be dead.

Instead of feeling that his motives were exposed to trouble, Ji Xun felt that his plan to find clues to the Holy Grail was more stable.

He looked at Jia Yu and asked in a mocking tone: "Why didn't you leave?" ”

The mushroom head shrugged, looked at him with innocence, and responded, "I don't know where to go for clues." I just stayed. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Xun and blinked, and said, "The captain told me before that when I was not sure of my decision, I would find someone who could make a decision for reference. I watched Mr. Ji Xun pretend to be dead just now, thinking that you must have a way. ”

Hearing this, Ji Xun smiled and was helpless: "What if I just pretend to be dead and take refuge?" ”

There's nothing wrong with the mushroom head's idea.

If you can't find a clue yourself, you keep an eye on those who find it.

He had the same idea before, these two temporary teammates definitely didn't appear here by chance, they must have mastered something.

I just want to follow along.

I didn't think that others were also the ones he used as references.

"Ahh No, it won't. ”

Jia Yu blinked, revealing a sincere smile from a young man.

He said his reasoning thoughts: "When I was in the Iron Fort before, I watched you enter the City Lord's Mansion. Later, I came out to visit many places in the city and came into contact with many key plot tasks. My first reaction was that you wanted the people of the Lionheart family to notice you, so that you could use the power of those people to get out of trouble. Most likely, you've got some story quest items that you don't want to take with you. Of course, even if those guys guessed, they would definitely take the bait."

"Huh."

When Ji Xun heard this, his expression became playful.

He didn't ask the mushroom head how he used to lock his position.

But this guy is really smart and has a very clear mind.

His previous behavior in Ironforge Fort was actually quite obvious in the eyes of a suspicious guy like Bai Wei.

But as the mushroom head said, they know it, and they will still take the bait.

Jia Yu said again: "Later, I found out that you went to ask some less important plot characters, and I guessed. Your purpose shouldn't just be to get the tide of trouble. Rather, it should have really found some key clues. Later, I watched the big war break out shortly after leaving the city, which proved my idea. Later, you found our team and met the white-robed mage. Everything is connected."

“.”

Ji Xun listened and laughed without saying a word.

After a pause, Jia Yu sighed with admiration again: "Mr. Ji Xun is really amazing." The Lionhearts spent so much money that they didn't get any information they could find. You've cracked so many key plots at once."

“.”

Ji Xun shook his head slightly, did not explain, and did not deny it.

It is also a coincidence that he was able to find clues, in addition to the information from Nanjing's mother, the most important thing is that he got some key props from the "Outpost Battle" that he cleared last time.

So you can find clues in a short time.

He didn't feel like he was that good.

However, what made him slightly puzzled in his heart was that no matter how he looked at it, this Jia Yu did not look like a disguise.

It's really just a vigorous and brave young man.

Smart, simple, wise, and a kind of youthful heroism that can't be hidden.

If someone can disguise it to this extent, then his acting skills are too perfect.

But Ji Xun himself is a professional actor.

He was sure that this guy was definitely not simple, at least not in disguise.

This is paradoxical.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun asked directly: "Then how did you know the direction of coming to the 'Twin Towers Cliff'?" ”

It was hard to ask before, and now there is nothing to scruple about.

Jia Yu and the mysterious archer seem to know each other, and it is definitely no coincidence that they appear here at the same time.

After speaking, Ji Xun observed Jia Yu's expression, thinking that he could see some flaws.

However, I didn't think that this mushroom head didn't hesitate at all, and directly said his ability: "I don't know either." It's just that my career sequence has an ability to deduce the direction of the subsequent development of events. So I chose a line that felt most likely to trigger the hidden plot. I didn't expect to meet you, Mr. Ji Xun. ”

Ji Xun listened to it suddenly.

In layman's terms, it is: guess.

He also asked curiously, "Is it divination?" ”

This ability of unpredictable prophets, I think it is the sequence of some card masters with divination and prophecy abilities.

It's not surprising that I've encountered it before.

But this ability comes at a cost.

The third-order card master wants an item of the level of the Holy Grail of Divination. It's almost impossible.

However, Jia Yu shook his head and corrected: "It's not divination. It's deduction. The captain told me that everything has footprints and laws, and as long as you carefully observe and perceive them, you will find that they will always develop and evolve in a trajectory that looks at the uncertain future, but in fact has been fixed. It's like death at the end of life, which is a trajectory that many people identifies. ”

“.”

Ji Xun seemed to understand something.

It sounds like a bit clever, but it's actually a transcendent law.

It's a bit like Xie Guozhong's "order" approach.

Originally, he was curious about which class sequence this deduction ability was, but it would be rude to ask again.

Speaking of this question, Jia Yu seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Mr. Ji Xun." I heard from the captain. It seems like something is wrong with your lifespan. This time I should have come to the [Sismak Holy Grail] to solve the problem? ”

Ji Xun didn't deny it, "Hmm." ”

As he spoke, he casually asked, "You are also here for the Holy Grail?" ”

Now all that is left of this situation is for the Holy Grail, and there is nothing to hide.

Jia Yu and the mysterious archer didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

The mushroom head also said directly: "But our purposes do not conflict. ”

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”

Cooperation is fine, but if the purpose is conflicting, there may be an uneven distribution of spoils later.

Originally, he wanted to wait and ask again, but he didn't think that the other party would say it directly.

Jia Yu said: "The [Sismak Holy Grail] also has an alias that only a few people know, called the [Holy Grail of Kingship]. Mr. Ji Xun, all you need is holy water in a cup."

Obviously, he only said half of this, but Ji Xun understood a lot of information when he listened.

The Holy Grail of Kingship?

The name already says a lot about the directional things.

Jia Yu obviously knew a lot about the Holy Grail.

can involve royal power, Ji Xun can think of [K]'s way to royal power.

Then there's the Silver Moon Sect.

He didn't want to dig deeper.

Listening to the half-concealed tone, it is estimated that it is the same thing as Nanjing's mother's scruples, which is a topic that cannot be mentioned at present.

After a brief exchange of words, the relationship between the three of them became more stable.

Everyone has the same goal, but not conflicting, which is the best state of cooperation.

Ji Xun looked at the archer who had not spoken again, didn't know what he thought, and smiled slightly.

Jia Yu asked, "So Mr. Ji Xun, what are we looking for now?" ”

Ji Xun said directly: "Find a certain peripheral guard team that left the team before." I suspect there's a very important person in it."

When Jia Yu heard this, he suddenly said, "Ah, I'll just say it's very strange." No matter how you look at it, the white-robed mage shouldn't have calculated that he would be discovered by the demon legion."

Ji Xun listened and nodded approvingly.

In fact, he can find out that it is not that he is smarter than Jia Yu and the others.

It's just that he has entered the Iron Furnace Fort and has some "only clues".

The two teammates also understood this in an instant.

The three of them began to search.

It didn't take long for the trio to discern three suspicious routes from the six possible reconnaissance teams.

Originally, if there was only Ji Xun alone, he could only follow the smell and follow the three paths one by one.

But this can take a lot of time.

In the end, it may also lose its goal completely because of some misleading methods of that "big man".

And so it is.

The "big man" was obviously also wary of being tracked by demons, and did some distractions.

Ji Xun asked Jia Yu to choose one of the three paths he judged.

Then the three of them followed one of the paths, and walked all the way along the cliff for a long time.

But as I walked, I felt that something was wrong.

It didn't reach the end, and it was so far away that it seemed like a temptation to deliberately attract pursuers.

After a short while, the three stopped on the edge of the cliff.

The wind blew on the robes, and the hunt sounded.

Their intuition told them that if they continued to look like this, it would be fruitless.

Just when Ji Xun's subjective consciousness judged that this was most likely a "wrong line" and was ready to try another one.

Jia Yu on the side observed for a moment, but said, "If I were that person, I would definitely choose to jump into the dark river." This will render all scent tracking ineffective."

"Hmm."

Ji Xun's expression was full of helplessness.

He felt that if he were the big man, he would definitely find a way to escape tracking.

Jumping into the dark river is the best option.

But without any pointing clues, he couldn't determine where those people would jump off the cliff river that stretched for dozens of kilometers.

And the smell hasn't stopped yet, not necessarily the road right now.

Or maybe someone jumped in the middle of the game, and the rest of the people continued as bait.

But it's to be expected.

The white-robed mage Gan Luobi can be used as bait himself, and it is reasonable that the "big man" does not leave any flaws.

But this made Ji Xun and the three of them very difficult.

If you can't find that one, the clue to the Holy Grail may be broken.

However, this almost inexplicable situation changed for the better in a single sentence.

The complementary abilities of teammates come in handy.

Jia Yu's magical deduction ability made him seem to have discovered something, and said, "Mr. Ji Xun, you follow me." I probably know where the man jumped from."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and walked on the edge of the cliff with a wooden expression, as if he were "sleepwalking".

It's like using some kind of supernatural ability.

Ji Xun was also very curious to follow him all the way.

However, as he walked, Jia Yu suddenly rushed towards the edge of the cliff as if he was enchanted, and then jumped down.

When Ji Xun saw this scene, he was surprised in his heart: "Sixth sense? ”

Although he felt that it would be too childish to find it if he found it like this,

But there are too many strange and extraordinary abilities in this world, and it seems to be normal.

Without much thought, he and the mysterious archer jumped down as they watched.

All three of them are masters, and they don't have to worry about falling to their deaths.

The wind whistled in their ears, and after falling for nearly 100 meters, the three of them fell into the icy dark river together.

This is the bottom of the canyon, there are no glowing plants, and it is pitch black.

Only the cold river water moistens the skin, making thousands of pores shrink.

Jia Yu was still immersed in that sleepwalking state and did not speak.

The three of them floated in the dark river, drifting with the river.

This dark river is not marked on the map, and it is not known where it leads.

Anyway, there are no clues, and Ji Xun can endure his temperament and savor this rare leisure.

Floating and floating, suddenly he felt that this experience was also very subtle.

The river drifts into the unknown distance, like an entrance to hell.

It was pitch black.

Eerie and terrifying, the faint mist that permeated the river added a bit of mystery.

Floating and floating again, the sound of water next to my ears changed slightly.

Only then did Ji Xun discover that a tributary had appeared.

Jia Yu, the leader, had already floated down the tributary and into the rocks.

Ji Xun and the two also floated in.

The dark river is already completely underground, and the clammy and cold rocks about half a meter up give people a very oppressive feeling.

The map of this extradimensional space is an open map, so large that it has no boundaries at all.

The three of them didn't know where they would go.

Ji Xun memorized the path all the way, and observed the scouring marks on the rock wall all the way.

There are stars on the rock wall with a black metallic sheen, this is the secret iron ore?

"It should be inside the Holy Spirit Mountains."

Ji Xun estimated the distance, and there was a faint sense of expectation.

This should be near the Wind Mine.

He had thought about going over the mountain before.

But I never thought I would drift through the underground river.

And suddenly, the river suddenly became turbulent.

There seems to be a waterfall with a big drop ahead!

There was a sound of falling water in his ears, and Ji Xun also found that the speed of drifting was getting faster and faster.

In the face of the unknown waterfall, the feeling of making goosebumps explode was instantly pulled to the extreme.

At a certain moment, Ji Xun found himself being carried by the current and suddenly jumped into the air.

This is a deep underground waterfall.

After stepping on the air for two steps to stop his body, he entered the water with a "bang".

Listening to the echoes of the sounds around you, it seems to be a huge underground cavern.

Just as Ji Xun was thinking about where this was, at the same time, inspiration also appeared.

"Discover the 'Wind Mine Cave Dark River' Exploration +15%"

"Huh!"

Seeing the enlightenment, Ji Xun was overjoyed.

Because only by discovering unknown maps related to the story, Enlightenment will increase the progress of exploration.

That means you've come to the right place!

Or an extra degree of exploration, that is, this is a map outside of the main story.

But the hint is that the "Underground River of the Wind Mine Cave" is also completely involved in the plot.

Jia Yu and the mysterious archer also saw the enlightenment for the first time, and at the same time, their expressions were lifted.

The three of them left the water and walked to the shore.

At this time, Jia Yu found something and shouted softly: "Look, footprints!" ”

Ji Xun also found that there were footprints on the ground here.

This kind of place that no one has been to for countless years, all traces are very stable, but if there are traces of foreign ones, it is easy to identify.

It is also impossible to hide and erase.

Seeing the footprints means that the "big man" has really come.

All previous conjectures were correct.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun glanced at the mushroom head with wet hair, and sighed in his heart: "I really found it."

It's really outrageous to find it in this way of jumping gods.

The three of them didn't say much, holding their breath and watching their surroundings carefully.

Then he followed the direction of the footprints and walked towards the dark passage.

The deeper I got, the more mysterious I felt coming to my face.

Ji Xun also guessed what the plot items related to the Holy Grail in the hand of the "big man" in the plot were.

It may be the [map] that found this place.

Otherwise, this way of entry, this winding path, can not be found without a map.

There are natural caves all around, but it didn't take long for the three of them to see man-made structures.

It was a tombstone with words engraved on it.

At the same time, inspiration is once again frequent.

"Discover 'Heroes' Tomb' gain +23% Extra Exploration"

Enlightening hint, Ji Xun and the three of them also guessed that this might be the mausoleum of a strong man.

It seems that the Holy Grail is in the mausoleum.

The three of them did not rush in, but stopped in front of the stone monument to take a look.

Jia Yu took out a small notebook and pen, and looked like he wanted to record the inscription.

The mysterious archer watched silent.

Ji Xun himself, but his expression became more and more serious.

Because, he understood the content of the inscription.

Jia Yu on the side looked at Ji Xun's solemn expression, guessed something, and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, can you understand?" ”

Enlightenment is not translated, it is a clue outside the main plot.

Ji Xun didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

This is the Teretic language.

Last time, after looting Master Ronan's collection, I almost learned this kind of writing while flipping through those books.

Hearing this, Jia Yu made no secret of his admiration and exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing." I've only seen some fragments of this ancient language in the federal library. But it's too fragmented to be deciphered. And there is no polymath in the Federation who understands this kind of dynastic script. ”

“.”

Ji Xun didn't say anything when he listened.

He always had a feeling in his heart that these civilizations in the extradimensional space seemed to have really existed.

Or is it somehow, there's something going on?

He thought of the rift and the inverted rain in the world at the Nugget Pier next to the Innocence City, and the world itself seemed to have a problem with time and space.

While his mind was racing, he also knew that the two teammates must be curious about what was written on the inscription.

Now this plot is no longer a normal war mode A+.

It's necessarily harder.

It may be the most extradimensional space that Ji Xun has ever participated in.

The ability of the two teammates has already seen a little, and it is very strong.

He also felt like he needed some help.

Ji Xun came out: "In the name of God, go on a killing spree, ridiculous kingship." ”

This first sentence was pronounced, as if some big man was talking to the three of them across time and space.

While the domineering is exposed, it also makes no secret of the ridicule of royal power.

Jia Yu and the others also became serious instantly.

Because they also heard a strong sense of conspiracy.

Ji Xun interpreted: "This seems to be a buried legendary brave."

He couldn't translate it completely accurately, but he roughly understood it, and translated the epic recorded on the inscription in his own words: "A hundred years ago, there was also a war around the [Sismak Holy Grail] The war between the human kingdom and the demons, the epic hero of mankind suffered heavy casualties and mankind, the paladin, the dragon slayer, and the demon slayer hero Galen defeated the demon king from hell, allowing mankind to win the war that lasted for more than ten years." But the hero was also mortally wounded, and his servants buried his body under the Holy Spirit Mountains according to their will, sealing the Holy Grail and the demons of hell that brought disaster to mankind."

After the inscription was read, all three of them fell into a moment of deep thought.

Although there is not much content, a lot of key information is available.

Ji Xun muttered: "If you guessed correctly, a hundred years ago, it should have been the 'Second Holy Grail War'. ”

Now it seems that history is repeating itself.

The Holy Grail is here, and humanity and demons are about to face another great war.

Looking at this situation, the high-ranking people of both camps are very fond of this Holy Grail, and they will not hesitate to get it.

But

Why did it fight at least three times?

It feels like a game jackpot for humans and demons to snatch and deliberately kill.

There's also a host behind the scenes.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Ji Xun immediately thought of the last sentence of the enlightenment prompt when he entered the space: There is a shadow of a god behind this war between humans and demons.

Look again at what is on the inscription.

Is this Holy Grail War being waged by the gods behind the scenes?

Hiss. Why?

Faith?

Or something else?

Ji Xun knew that the demon side was the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasures" of the Silver Moon Sect, Araknea, and there were also gods on the human side.

Thinking about it, things seem to be high-end.

But that level is too high, and I can't figure it out for a while.

At this time, Jia Yu on the side also recorded what he had just heard, and pondered: "It seems that after that hero killed the Demon King, the high-level officials of the Human Kingdom were not particularly friendly to him, otherwise he would not have been seriously injured and died if he had the holy water in the Holy Grail." ”

"Hmm."

Ji Xun nodded.

The memoirs of this inscription were written by the followers of the legendary warrior "Galen", and there are strong grievances, unwillingness and grievances in it.

It's like the hero Galen has suffered some injustice, but he can't write about it.

In the last "Second Holy Grail War", there seemed to be a lot of hidden stories.

Maybe there are some extradimensional spaces related to the plot in the Old World that can explain the reason, but it is no longer a plot that can be involved in "The Battle of Ironforge Fort" this time.

However, Ji Xun looked at the title of "Demon Slayer Warrior", and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised.

Coincidentally, I also have such a title.

However, before he could think about it, suddenly the hairs on Ji Xun's back exploded, and an indescribable mountain of terrifying killing machines overwhelmed him.

"Someone sneaked up!"

Ji Xun realized something in an instant.

It's very strong!

He didn't have time to think about it, he instinctively reacted defensively, and his body rapidly turned into a beast.

However, the mysterious archer beside him reacted faster.

Almost as soon as the killing machine hit, an extremely cold air swept through the entire cave.

She turned around and punched, just in time for the black hand that came from the darkness.

It's on par!

Seeing this familiar cold air, the corners of Ji Xun's mouth rose slightly, and his heart was at ease, and he muttered: "Sure enough, it's you, Miss Chujiu." Long time no see. ”
