Chapter 199: The Holy Grail and the Statue of Heroes
Ji Xun had always felt that this mysterious archer had an inexplicable familiar feeling before.
Looks like I've seen it somewhere.
Later, when he played dead, it went so smoothly, thanks to the archer who shot arrows several times to lure the monster away.
At that time, Ji Xun guessed that this Bacheng really knew him.
He didn't have many friends of his own.
Later, I thought about it, and the only person who knew that below the fourth order could have this strength, was the first nine.
It's just that I haven't seen her for a long time, and it's surprising that she will appear in this extradimensional space.
And Nanjing's mother specially asked him to come in this time, maybe he already knew.
After all, the true identity of Chu Jiu is still the princess of Oran's relics.
There may also be some hidden secrets involved.
Now looking at the power of the familiar law of ice exposed in that punch, Ji Xun also confirmed that it was that old friend.
He thought that the reason why Chu Jiu didn't reveal his identity before was probably because he had some concerns.
Or maybe a little more.
She didn't know how to deal with her old friend.
After all, before in the Rose Manor, Ji Xun saw Chu Jiu's mother die under the siege of the Lionheart family.
The hysterical grief is still in front of me.
Life has suffered a great change, and the first nine temperaments are already cold, and they probably can't be happy with the world anymore.
Old friends met, Ji Xun wanted to chat a few words.
But now is not the time to catch up.
"Boom!"
The cloaked man behind him didn't know where it came from.
But looking at his ruthless methods, he was originally going to kill with one blow.
It's just that I didn't expect Chu Jiu to be so strong that he actually blocked this move.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the cloaked man retreated sharply and distanced himself.
Only then did the three of them see clearly that it was a hunchback with a thick necromantic aura lingering all over his body.
Ji Xun looked at it, but his pupils shrank, and he guessed the identity of this person in his heart: "Hunchback old Duan? ”
He had met Lao Duan a few times before in the undercover of the Silver Moon Sect, and he was somewhat familiar with this guy.
Now looking at the hunchbacked old man in front of him, the unique eerie aura of the gravedigger is exactly the same, isn't that guy?
Ji Xun thought that the sneak attack would be the "big man" who entered this secret passage,
I didn't expect it to be someone from the Silver Moon Sect!
At the same time, he was puzzled in his heart: "Hey, it's strange, how did this guy get in?" ”
Ji Xun was sure that Lao Duan definitely didn't follow the three of them all the way in.
Ambush here in advance, apparently earlier.
Thinking about it, this guy can only come in with the "big man".
But the three of them have so much unique information, as well as Jia Yu's special ability, it is not easy to find this place
This old Duan actually came before them.
How the hell did that guy do that?
The normal route is simply impossible.
Ji Xun's mind turned, and he suddenly thought of something: "It's not right! This guy is not a human camp, but a 'defector'! ”
He instantly figured out one thing: not all adventurers who entered the other-dimensional space were from the human camp.
This situation is not uncommon in the "faction mode" and "competitive mode" and other extradimensional spaces, and after the adventurer enters, it may be two or even more hostile camps.
The Silvermoon Cult and the Demon Clan both believe in the same old god, the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasures" Arakne.
Because of his beliefs, the hunchbacked old section is on a different path from the human camp.
Therefore, his source of information is most likely the spies of the demon camp in Ironforge Keep!
The tasks he received were also different from those of the others.
This can also explain why Lao Duan was able to follow the "big man" to come here first.
Now he does it, probably because he doesn't want anyone to spoil his good deeds.
Originally, I wanted to sneak attack and kill these guys who were in the way, but I didn't expect it to be so strong.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun instantly felt that his thoughts suddenly brightened.
However, looking at the hunchbacked old Duan who had retreated peacefully under Chu Jiu's hands, he also muttered in his heart: "The speed at which these Silver Moon Sect disciples become stronger is really exaggerated."
The destructive power of that punch just now was no longer the level that ordinary third-order card masters could achieve.
Obviously, not long ago, it was only a second-order level.
However, Chu Jiu's old friend has never disappointed in terms of fighting, and Ji Xun is not too worried.
He thinks more about the difficulty of the plot itself.
After glancing at the tombstone, since Lao Duan appeared to stop him, there must be something behind him that should not be disturbed.
What the enemy wants to stop, they do.
The purpose was suddenly clear.
Obviously, all three of them thought of going together.
It was a flash of the year that Chu Jiu's body suddenly condensed wisps of cold air, and then the whole person turned into a cold qi and dispersed.
Looking at it again, the whole person had teleported dozens of meters away.
immediately punched Lao Duan.
"Click", "click", the sound of ice cracking is crisp.
This time, the Demon God Phantom had already appeared behind Chu Jiu, and the punch that enveloped the power of the Demon God directly smashed Lao Duan into a piece of ice.
However, Ji Xun knew that Lao Duan was not so easy to kill.
He glanced at Jia Yu, the mushroom head beside him, and rushed towards the corridor behind the tombstone without hesitation.
Ji Xun has completely turned into a werewolf form, and his running speed is as fast as a ghost.
But in the blink of an eye, he had already come to a large cave again.
As soon as he arrived here, Ji Xun immediately knew why Lao Duan was sneaking up on them just now, because there was a six-pointed star formation that was radiating light!
The last time Ji Xun saw the teleportation array of the demon camp in "Battle of the Outpost", and when he saw the runes lit up on this formation, he immediately thought of what it was: "Spatial teleportation array!" ”
Probably because he thinks he can't kill the NPC inside, this guy is ready to teleport the demon helper over?
And what's even more bizarre is that just now I saw that Chu Jiu had already broken the old Duan Bing into broken ice, and there was an identical hunchbacked cloaked man next to this teleportation array.
didn't have to think about it, Jia Yu on the side said: "It's too late to stop it." The teleportation array is already in operation. ”
Ji Xun frowned as he listened.
The helper who can make Lao Duan teleport over must be some tricky high-level demon.
"Let's go! Let's go in first! ”
Since he couldn't stop it, his mind turned, and he didn't care about the teleportation array, and rushed into the depths of the cave.
This time, his purpose was to find the Holy Grail, not to kill some monster.
Let's make sure if this chalice is in this hero's tomb.
Chu Jiu and Jia Yu also had the same idea, and the two also rushed in.
This cave under the Holy Spirit Mountain Range is not a specially built mausoleum, and there are no hidden tunnels.
Ji Xun and the three of them soon followed the footprints to a huge space.
There are plenty of glowing mosses growing on the rock walls here, and the visibility of the entire space is high.
A strange stone sculpture that is 100 meters high is in sight.
The statue held a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right, and his armor was so tattered that even his body was full of holes, and even under his helmet it was empty.
The carving technique is very skillful, as if there is a strong emotional mixture.
The story and the picture came out all at once.
As if his flesh and soul had been hollowed out by a demon, he still stood proudly with his iron will, not falling.
makes people see at a glance a sense of tragedy and grandeur of the hero's end.
When Ji Xun saw this statue, he instinctively determined that this was the epic hero Galen written on the tombstone.
But as a mausoleum of epic heroes, there is only one statue, and there is no other burial, which seems too simple.
Ji Xun is interested in the story of the paladin Galen, but at the moment he is also more interested in the Holy Grail.
The eyes of the three of them were immediately drawn to it.
Because there was a glowing cup at the foot of the statue.
The chalice is not large, like a mythril material, and it is engraved with exquisite and mysterious rune carvings all over it, which is simple and mysterious.
Enlightenment has revealed its name, which is the Sismak Holy Grail!
"It's really here!"
Ji Xun looked at the thing he was looking for in front of him, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
The chalice was filled with a glass of glittering liquid.
This is the legendary "holy water of life" that can instantly heal all diseases, eliminate various negative states, and repair the loss of longevity!
But his intuition also told him that this kind of item, which is far beyond the difficulty of the current plot, is definitely not so easy to hold.
And at the same time as seeing the Holy Grail, after a glance, Ji Xun looked at the corpse next to the Holy Grail and a gorgeously dressed corpse.
"The princess of the kingdom of Teresa? How could she die here? ”
Ji Xun looked at the dried corpse in a gorgeous jeweled dress and guessed something.
The details of that robe have the "Holy Cross" all over the place.
This is the family totem of the Deland royal family.
And the "three-headed sheep snake griffin" on the golden cane is the demon god believed in by the humans of the Teresan Kingdom - the "Lord of War and Destruction" Acris!
Ji Xun had seen the description in Master Ronan's manuscript before, so it was not easy to guess the identity of this corpse at a glance.
Epic heroes and royal princesses?
Could it be that the monument carved outside is this princess, not some servant?
Martyrdom or what?
Seeing the picture in front of him, Ji Xun thought of too many stories in his mind at once.
But each one is sad.
Jia Yu on the side knew more, and muttered: "The demon god pointed to by the high-ranking sequence [J of Spades-God of War] that disappeared in history actually appeared here."
“???”
Ji Xun was also slightly surprised when he heard this.
The Kashi civilization has been broken countless times, and the inheritance has long been fragmented.
To this day, not all of the 52 paths have been passed down in their entirety.
There are probably only twenty or thirty complete sequences of detailed records in the entire federation.
There are also many sequences that only have names, mutilated class cards, and even don't even know the name.
And the [J of Spades-God of War] sequence of the war path is a legend that only exists in textbooks.
No one has seen it, and no one knows what this avenue is.
It's been at least a thousand years old.
However, the demon god believed in by the Teresan Dynasty turned out to be the demon god pointed to by [J of Spades]?
Didn't you say that the demon gods of the fifty-two epic source cards were the source of the card master's power, how did they become the old gods?
What's going on?
This seems to involve some high-end secrecy.
Ji Xun and Chu Jiu obviously couldn't figure it out.
Jia Yu's "mobile library" guessed their doubts and took the initiative to explain: "This is the loss of control of divinity. For too long, no human card master can fuse the source card of that sequence, or some super-level card masters after fusion are out of control and distorted, and the restriction of the demon mark on the demon god will be weakened. When the divinity gets out of control, it pollutes the intelligent creatures, and then there are 'believers' and old-time sects. Faith is immortal, and the gods are immortal, so no matter what civilization has in its history, there are always some shadows of the old gods, and they cannot be extinct. That's why."
I see.
This topic is a bit out of the ordinary all of a sudden.
Ji Xun didn't know what to hear.
As he spoke, the mushroom head said, "And it's not just this one." There are all kinds of indications that the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasures" of the Silver Moon Sect is very likely to be the demon god pointed to by [Plum Blossom Q-Moonlight Empress], but that sequence has been broken for tens of thousands of years, and there is no evidence to directly prove this inference. I'm just speculating."
“.”
Ji Xun listened and the corners of his eyes twitched inexplicably.
That's where it gets interesting.
The source of the old gods turned out to be the demonic mark of the out-of-control divinity?
But this is not the time to talk about this.
The Holy Grail was in front of them, and the three of them didn't dare to make a rash move.
It's not just intuition that tells them that approaching the Holy Grail is in mortal danger.
Or because a knight with brown hair in golden armor suddenly walked out of the corner.
Ji Xun looked at the Holy Cross coat of arms on the armor, and guessed that there was a "royal family" in front of him, thinking about what kind of top nobleman such as a prince.
Not surprising.
Only such a big man would make a strong person like the white-robed mage Gan Luobi willing to be a bait.
The golden knight looked at the three Ji Xun who suddenly broke in, instantly drew out the big sword in his hand, and asked in a cold tone, "Who are you?" How did it end up here? ”
Ji Xun glanced at the black silk thread that distorted space on this guy's big sword, and said in his heart: This guy also knows the secret method?
He replied quietly, "We are the Scout Guards of the Kingdom Falcon Legion, and we are under the orders of Master Ganlobi to investigate the traces of the Demon Vanguard. I just tracked down an inner ghost here. ”
This is all true, but it avoids some key points.
Saying that, Ji Xun also took out the rune mark of Master Ronan, which can prove his identity as a "demon slaying hero".
When the Golden Knight saw the magic mark, he was convinced.
Although he felt that these three people were suspicious, there was something else more important in front of him, and he asked in a deep voice, "The demon has already discovered here?" ”
"That's right! We've confirmed that man is a demon minion! ”
Ji Xun played the role of a loyal warrior of the kingdom perfectly, and said, "We have already fought with him just now. But to make matters worse, the man had already set up the teleportation array, and it seemed that he wanted to teleport the demon over. ”
Hearing this, the Golden Knight's face changed greatly, and he already knew that it was not too late.
He rolled his eyes, didn't have time to ask more, took out an identity crest, and said, "I'm Sahn!" ”
Ji Xun looked at the pattern on the imprint and recognized it at a glance, it was indeed a prince.
The Teresan nobility was also very hierarchical, with five golden olive branches on the coat of arms, that is, "the fifth son of the king".
He protected his chest and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince!" ”
Ji Xun's performance was not superfluous, but the most reasonable way he could think of to get the Holy Grail.
This Cataclysmic Level 4 War Mode Hidden Plot is definitely not so easy to pass.
According to the urine nature of the will of the alien space, it cannot be the crushing game of the adventurer.
Even if there is an existence like Chu Jiu, which far exceeds the combat power of card masters of the same level, there will inevitably be equal risks.
The Holy Grail is a must-have.
But now that the hunchbacked old Duan had now summoned reinforcements, it was impossible for the three of them to fight against two enemies at the same time.
And the strength of the five princes in front of him is definitely not weak.
The current situation is unknown, and multiple helpers also have a few more chances of winning.
But this fifth prince Saan is not stupid, it was already suspicious to see these three guys appear here, and he directly ordered: "You guys go and stop those demons!" ”
Enlightenment also appeared for the first time: "A+ Opportunity Plot Trigger: Intercept Demon Reinforcements; You and your teammates need to stop the Demon Clan from sending reinforcements to the Hero's Tomb. +20% extra exploration and +20,000 for mission completion;"
There is another chance plot!
And as soon as you look at the merits of the task reward, you already know the difficulty of this task.
Ji Xun responded without hesitation: "Yes! ”
With that, the three of them turned around and walked out.
Blocking is a must be stopped.
But it's hard to say if you can't stop it.
Ji Xun and the three didn't want to do their best to complete the task, nor did they think that they could stop it.
But the reinforcements of the Demon Legion were far stronger than expected.
Not long after the three of them returned to Yongdao, there was a sound of "boom" and "boom" in the entire cave.
In the blink of an eye, the scorching dragon's breath forced the three people who had been burned to the ground and retreated in embarrassment.
It's not all camouflage, it's that the enemy is really too strong.
Not only is there a hunchback old duan, but the fourth-order A-level calamity [Red Dragon Viscount Yuri] is also here!
Four more Dragonborn Demon Commanders who can also take on human form accompany him.
Although there are only six enemies in total, this combat power is not something that Ji Xun and the three of them can block head-on at all.
The fifth prince Sahn originally wanted to go and get the Holy Grail, but he didn't expect the enemy to attack so soon.
He also hurriedly retreated.
Only then did Ji Xun notice that it seemed to be an area within 100 meters of the Holy Grail, where there was a very strange domain field.
When Sarn walked over just now, it was obvious that there were some spatial black lines lingering around his body.
Like you have to use that ability to resist something?
This is also the most important reason why Ji Xun and the three of them didn't dare to grab the Holy Grail before.
The fifth prince seemed to know some secrets about the hero's mausoleum that outsiders did not know.
Ji Xun and the three of them also retreated to the prince's side tacitly.
It looks like it's protecting the royal family, but it's actually about using this person's force to contain the enemy.
The two sides confronted each other.
[Red Dragon Viscount Yuri] transforms into an adult form that is also more than three meters tall, covered in scale armor, with a hideous appearance, and exudes a high-level demonic coercion that makes people breathless.
It looked at the Holy Grail that was close at hand, and didn't pay any attention to the humans in front of it.
There was a loud shout, as if he had given some order to grab the Holy Grail.
A demon leader beside it kicked its feet to the ground, and its figure rushed towards the chalice beneath the statue of the hero.
However, seeing this scene, Prince Sahn not only did not stop it, but also a sneer flashed under his eyes.
Before the rest of the people on both sides understood what was going on in this strange atmosphere, they suddenly heard a "pop", like the sound of flesh and blood falling heavily on the ground.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other for a moment.
But seeing that the demon leader who rushed over just now ran within a hundred meters of the Holy Grail, he suddenly felt like he had tripped and fallen, and the whole person fell to the ground.
But after all, it was a third-order demon leader, and it wanted to struggle to get up.
But weirdly
Even though its limbs were bruised by the exertion, it could only lift its body with little difficulty.
It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down, and it couldn't even afford to stand up again.
Another "snap".
The demon leader was crushed to the ground by that strange force, and he was pressed out without holding back a mouthful of scarlet blood.
After this fall, I can't get up again.
Looking at the smaller and smaller breathing arc of its chest, it feels like being entangled by a giant python, but whenever it exhales, the space for breathing is even smaller.
This strange scene made everyone's eyelids jump in unison.
This is a dragonborn with incredible strength, and he can't even stand up?
How terrifying is the pressure of that field?
Ji Xun saw the spatial silk threads lingering around the demon commander's body, and instantly understood something: "There is the same domain field as the [Power Golden Ball] in that area!" ”
He had experienced firsthand the terrifying and eerie gravity on the golden ball.
With this realm, this Holy Grail is not so easy to hold.
The enemy went to the thunder, which also let Ji Xun and the three know the danger.
Chu Jiu on the side looked solemn, but the mushroom head Jia Yu seemed to be thoughtful, as if he was observing something.
But right now, what they have to face is a few demons eyeing them in front of them.
Now that both sides know that the Holy Grail cannot be taken easily, then they can only kill the enemy first and then think about other issues.
The good news is that when Yuri, the strongest demon at the moment, comes to this side of the Hero's Tomb, the pressure on the side of Ironforge will be much less.
At least the white-robed mage Ganlobi doesn't have to die, and everyone can get out alive.
But the bad news is that this high demon is what they have to face now.
The red dragon Yuri was also not polite, and opened his mouth to spray a mouthful of dragon flame.
As soon as Sarn's golden fighting aura burst out, the whole person rushed over with a sword.
As Ji Xun expected, even if it is an opportunity plot, it will definitely not be completely without a chance of winning.
The strength of this prince's burst out was not much weaker than the fourth-order A-level calamity.
What Ji Xun and the three of them have to do now is to ensure that they will not die in the fierce battle.
The two sides did not have any politeness at all, and they fought together in a blink of an eye, and the battle situation entered a white-hot situation in an instant.
However, although Ji Xun and the three of them looked embarrassed, they also had some confidence.
Chu Jiu's icy ability is just right to restrain the Flame Dragon Breath.
Coincidentally, Ji Xun's advanced second-order fusion career card allowed him to gain the ability to control [Hellfire].
Although it is not much, the fire type is very injury-free.
So the attack methods of those dragonborn demons are not too outrageous for them.
And the mushroom head Jia Yu.
Ji Xun thought that since he knew Chu Jiu, his identity was a bit delicate.
This guy's methods are definitely more than what he seems.
