"You say, will the Legion Elder directly capture the king of those people in the Eastern Wilderness this time? Hey. If that's the case, our 'Poisonous Bee Pioneer Legion' has made great contributions, and collective feats are indispensable. Maybe the captain will get the 'Red Dragon Medal'."

"I heard that there is a federal parliamentary system in the Eastern Wilderness, and there is no king, right? However, the royal family of Augustus seems to have remained. But since the regiment commander went in person, he had to get some combat exploits. We can also have a sip of soup."

"This time the battle merits are enough, I plan to change some gold-level Brontosaurus materials, and after the next advancement, I will also strive to join the official knights. This damn ranger sentry, I've had enough. ”

"Hey, I thought it would be a chore to explore the vanguard of the Talon ruins. I didn't expect to meet the group of soft eggs in the Eastern Wilderness now, but instead became a great wealth of war exploits. ”

"Joel, do you think it's weird that something seems to be eyeing us in the dark?"

"We are now operating under the noses of those people in the Eastern Wilderness, and it is normal to be targeted."

"Hmm. I used the spell to understand that it wasn't human. Maybe it's a probing spell, or maybe it's a passing monster."

“.”

In a hidden valley on the eastern outskirts of the Devil's Cross.

The Vanguard of the Errel Empire rests here.

On the high ground at the mouth of the valley, two sentries were chatting boredly.

Unbeknownst to them, a black shadow had been staring at them for a long time in the darkness not far away.

This is not a person.

Rather, it is a "shadow clone" composed purely of dark elements.

It has no physical body, and quietly blends in perfectly with the darkness around it.

Rao is perception spell spirit on the two sentinels was not aware of it.

The one who controlled the shadow was none other than Ji Xun, who was hiding in a hidden corner nearly a kilometer away from the valley.

Over there, the shadow observed the two sentinels, and Ji Xun, who was a kilometer away, also completely shared the perception of the shadow.

The images and sounds in front of the shadow were as if they were in front of his own eyes.

Ji Xun looked at it, and his mouth was like a parrot and imitated it.

That's right.

He's learning a language.

He needs a sneak identity, and he must master the "Taryn" spoken by those people.

Ji Xun himself was already proficient in the Talen script, and he had communicated with Nanjing, who was also learning the ancient Talen language, and learned a little.

It was easier for him to master the language than anyone else.

Moreover, the benefits of Master Merlin's previous exploitation of the brain domain for him are becoming more and more exaggerated in terms of learning ability, and with the JOKER "unforgettable" entry, learning Talen is almost as good as reading it once.

However, it is not enough to just "will".

After observing for so long, Ji Xun also found several alternative targets.

What he has to do now is to familiarize himself with the interpersonal relationships of these people, imitate their living habits, and speak in a pronunciation and tone.

"This shadow trick works really well. It's a detective skill. ”

After observing for a while, Ji Xun had already reached a conclusion in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

After all, [Joker's Shadow Trick] is an exclusive ability of JOKER, and the grade is no less than "supernatural power".

Ordinary Kashigen has never seen it, so it is difficult to understand this level of spells.

It was detected by the sentry just now, not how well those two guys perceived it.

It was Ji Xun's deliberate movement.

The purpose is to test the limit of the shadow trigger warning.

Thirty meters away, the fourth-order sentry was completely imperceptible; It is estimated that even if you encounter a fifth-order card master, as long as there is no special means of perception, a hundred meters away is a safe distance.

And it doesn't matter if you find out.

The shadow was a mass of elemental bodies that could collapse on the spot and disappear without a trace.

This ability is not only useful for reconnaissance, but also for exploring sinister secret realms, and it is also an ideal hedging skill.

And most importantly!

It is also the most surprising thing that Ji Xun thinks about this secret method.

Now he has confirmed in the actual test that the experience improvement brought by the shadow learning skill will be superimposed on the ontology!

Although the shadow cannot breathe and meditate, it is used to learn martial arts, read, and comprehend the mystical methods of demons. But it's very efficient.

That feeling is exactly like the result of two seasons looking for themselves and learning at the same time.

It's not just overlays.

It's like two people discussing things, and many times it will bring about the learning effect of "1+1>2".

That means

Ji Xun's current learning efficiency is more than twice as high as before!

This is completely drowsy and pillow for him in his current situation.

That's double the amount of time he spends studying.

From this point of view alone, the significance of this clone to his extraordinary promotion was no less than any magic mystic method except for the [Demon Feast].

Aside from the fact that the mana cost is a little higher, this secret method has few drawbacks.

But Ji Xun and Shadow are not two independent individuals.

And it seems that there is an extra "second personality" in the body that thinks independently and has common cognition.

Just because of this, it may be difficult for others to get started.

But Ji Xun is too familiar with this situation.

He has a lot of "himself" in his mind with a clear division of labor, and he doesn't care about one more at all.

Even because of this shadow trick, he also came up with a bold idea: Can you make more shadows in the future?

But that's something to think about later.

[Shadow Trick] is only now Lv.1 (103/1000), and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

As the proficiency increases, the shadow's range of motion will continue to grow.

Ji Xun hid in this way, at the mouth of the valley, and continued to observe those Erel Empire sentry posts.

At the same time, he also keeps an eye on the communicator.

After Catalina summoned that the seventh-order legion leader had secretly infiltrated the Nuggets dock, there was no more news.

Ji Xun also wanted to know how the battle was going.

Although I don't know how to find the enemy, I also deduce some stories.

That seventh-order person is not familiar with the place, and he can sneak into the nugget dock secretly, which means that there has been a "traitor" in the upper echelons of the Ming Federation.

After all, the current Nuggets Pier is only accessible to unidentified people.

Being able to let that person quietly enter the dock also means that the mole who received it is familiar with the detailed defense of the Nugget Dock.

There are also intertwined connections.

There are very few people in the entire federation who can do this.

It is bound to be a high weight.

"One of the Big Five? Tsk, this is just the beginning, and I surrendered."

Ji Xun deduced some information in his heart, and the corners of his mouth raised a sarcastic arc.

Although when I negotiated with Caterina before, I considered that there would inevitably be a traitor in the Federation.

But I don't know why, at this moment, I really saw the despicability of human nature, and Ji Xun had a kind of morbid enjoyment.

Compared with the warmth and warmth of human nature, Ji Xun feels that this despicable human nature is like a knife stabbed into the chest, and the feeling of pain can soothe the restlessness of the soul more.

Hehe, I really want to kill those guys

Predictably, there was a traitor, but it shouldn't be a big problem to think about it.

Because this morning, Caterina came with another piece of good news: Miyatake finally rushed back at the last minute.

Moreover, he has successfully advanced to the seventh order!

That old-timer was already a half-step seventh-order, and he was only one foot away from the door.

As soon as the materials for the career card are found, the advancement comes naturally.

This is top-secret information that the entire Federation does not know.

Even if it was a traitor who betrayed everything.

The seventh-order Gong Wu will definitely make the enemy suffer a big loss!

This is more than ten hours.

Ji Xun has been observing.

Without that seventh-order legion leader to suppress the formation, this group of people would not have the strength to sweep through the city-state.

The group of pioneers in the valley did not dare to run around.

Hide and don't show up.

It is estimated that the people of the Card Division Federation do not know that their regiment leader has left.

Wait, wait, wait.

Suddenly, a text message came from the communicator: "It's done!" ”

Ji Xun grinned when he heard this.

The word "become" reveals too much exciting information.

In other words, Caterina is not dead, and that seventh order is dead.

Ji Xun didn't have time to think about it, and before he waited for a while, the valley suddenly exploded.

"Let's go!"

"Separate ways! Avoid towns and beware of being besieged! ”

“.”

The vanguard regiments also seem to have some way of confirming that their commander has been killed.

Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless, and immediately pulled away from the distance.

Within a few minutes, Shadow watched as more than a hundred people rushed out of the valley.

As soon as they came out, they immediately dispersed into several teams.

The reason why they gathered together before was because there was a seventh-order legion leader leading the team, and it was easy to plunder large cities even if there were many people.

Now that the battle is dead, the group knows that if they are discovered by the people of the Federation Card Division, they will be in a very dangerous situation.

They are already a reconnaissance team, and they have enough experience in dealing with them.

If you want to survive as much as possible, you can only scatter and escape.

Ji Xun knew that his opportunity had also come.

There were also an unknown number of sixth-order card masters in this team, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he kept staring at the team where the sentry posts he had observed before were located.

Generally speaking, in the military, neither the officers nor the elite stand guard.

Looking at the few teams that had scurried out of the valley, he easily chose a team with several familiar faces and followed them with shadows.

Don't think about it, the more sentry there are, the weaker the team.

And Ji Xun's own body hangs far behind the team.

This run was nearly an hour.

The team didn't dare to stay near the Demon Cross anymore, and instead ran into a wild forest.

Those guys were also cautious enough to leave behind various early warning agencies along the way.

If it weren't for the shadow, Ji Xun would really have to be lost, or discovered.

When these guys got to the forest, they probably felt safe, so they stopped.

"What the hell is going on? How could there be a sudden evacuation? ”

"I don't know, it seems that something happened to the Legion Commander."

"It must be those guys from before! Damn, they deliberately paralyzed us and sent the wrong information, just to ambush the regiment commander! ”

"It seems that this must be the case. Otherwise, with the strength of the regiment commander, there are still people to respond, how can something happen? ”

"Those guys who don't measure themselves in the Eastern Wilderness, this is self-defeating! The Capone family, Lao Tzu wrote down, and when the army arrives, he must slaughter this family first. Next time, if anyone says to come to Chengcheng, kill it first! ”

"I said a long time ago, the strength of our empire does not need any 'betrayers' at all!"

“.”

A group of people ran in disarray.

This accident not only made them feel the danger of death, but also a great humiliation.

Their powerful Errel Empire Vanguard Legion was chased by a small card division federation that didn't have a seventh-order and had to flee to save their lives?

It's not a matter of strength, it's a slap in the face of their empire!

And in the forest, a dark shadow silently observes everything.

That's part of the plan.

Only the success of this ambush plan will stop those evil guys in the Federation.

In the future, there will be many fewer "internal ghosts" on the battlefield.

But that's not what Ji Xun has to think about.

He observed all the way, and there didn't seem to be a sixth order in this team, but there was at least a fifth order.

He didn't think he had the strength to quietly kill someone and replace him.

Ji Xun also patiently observed.

This was nearly two days.

The team in the forest consisted of only twenty or thirty people.

Two days is enough time for Ji Xun to get acquainted with the information, habits, and interpersonal relationships of everyone in the team.

He also chose a suitable target for his lurking.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the appointed time arrived.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the forest.

A team of hundreds of people quietly arrived.

Ji Xun knew that this was the "actor" in place.

If he wants to replace one of the enemies, he must first kill him.

And leave no trace.

He can't do it alone, he can only shake people.

And two days ago, Ji Xun sent a message to Caterina and reported the coordinates of this group.

Now the man has finally arrived.

The forest was full of warning traps, and the people of the Pioneer Regiment discovered it as soon as possible.

"Not good! It's the people of the Eastern Wilderness! We're surrounded! ”

"Get out!"

“.”

A dragon roar rang out in the forest.

Ji Xun watched as those guys transformed into various dragonborn forms one by one.

After observing in detail for two days, Ji Xun was also very emotional, the average rank of these card masters of the Errel Empire was really high.

The entire Vanguard Regiment is a card master of the third order and above.

And the strength is not weak.

Dragons are higher beings.

The dragon bloodline makes it easier for them to advance, and the affinities and physical strength of various elements are much stronger than normal humans.

For example, the threshold of the third-order perception element condensation spell mark can make most Federation card masters stuck in this bottleneck for a lifetime.

But for these Dragonborn card masters of the Errel Empire, there is almost no bottleneck.

The combat effectiveness of this group of people is normally enough to resist a thousand-man army of the Federation.

However, the reinforcements called by Ji Xun had already been prepared.

It was at this moment that the various spell cards in the forest were bombarded like a torrential rain.

Wind Blade, Fire Serpent, Quicksand, Fireball, Ice Pick, Man-Eating Vine.

The mountains and the earth cracked, the elements seemed to explode, and the trees in the forest fell one by one.

The men of the vanguard regiment did not know how many pursuers there were, and they were bent on fleeing.

But I have to say, these guys use spell cards that are much more exaggerated than the Federation card masters.

Not only are there many types and powers, but there are also many mystic-level spells that the Federation Card Master has never seen before.

This is the benefit of not having a broken lineage.

chased and fled, and it was very subtle that the federal card division did not take much advantage.

It's just that quietly, someone controls this delicate balance.

When Ji Xun saw this, he smiled on his face: "Here is a master."

It cannot be completely annihilated, and the casualties cannot be too large, and the fight must be evenly matched.

To perform so well, you have to be a master.

At least a sixth order, even legendary.

But his hidden plan is top secret, and only a few people know about it.

Ji Xun was still wondering who was coming.

Suddenly, I saw a graceful figure beside me.

"Aunt Qin?"

Ji Xun didn't expect that Qin Ru would come in person.

"Hmm."

Qin Ru nodded, and a faint smile was echoed on that beautiful face.

But this was not the time to chat, she asked directly, "Which is the target?" ”

Ji Xun said the characteristics neatly: "Brown hair, the one with a wolf tooth dagger." ”

He had already observed an Assassin card master named "Joel".

That guy is ostracized, has simple interpersonal relationships, and is easy to imitate in his fighting style.

Qin Ru nodded, "Let's go!" ”

The two of them chased after them.

At this moment, the battle movement in the forest was already very exaggerated, and in the chaos caused by the intention, the people of the vanguard group had already rushed to pieces.

The two dozen or so fled in a panic.

With Qin Ruye's help, they easily killed that "Joel".

Ji Xun changed into that guy's clothes, and as soon as the clown mask changed, his whole person had changed into Joel's appearance.

After observing for two days, not only the appearance, but also the color of the mana, the dragon scales on the arms, and the assassin's yin owl temperament in the eyes were exactly the same.

Both sides of the battlefield are still fighting lively, completely unaware that someone has been replaced.

Even Qin Ruyi, who witnessed Ji Xun's cross-dressing on the sidelines, had a touch of surprise in his eyes.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have recognized this as Ji Xun at all.

Time was pressing, Ji Xun handed over some unnecessary things on his body to Qin Rusi, didn't dare to delay, and said, "Aunt Qin, I'll go." ”

"Hmm."

Qin nodded with a smile.

She had personally experienced the battle at the Nuggets Pier two days ago, and she had also experienced the power of the seventh-order Dragonborn Card Master.

If it weren't for Gong Wu's predecessors, several of their legends would probably have to suffer a big loss.

It is precisely because of this that she knows that the risk of this lurking is very large.

After all, in the enemy's backup army, there are real eighth-order or even ninth-order card masters.

So after knowing Ji Xun's plan, she came in person.

To be foolproof.

Otherwise, any flaw will be a fatal hidden danger.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes, but after all, she only said, "How careful you are." ”

Ji Xun smiled brightly: "Okay!" ”

changed his identity, and the world in his eyes was different.

He liked the feeling of being hidden in someone else's shadow.

It's not a play, it's a substitution.

In "I Am the World", he took the place of someone's fate line and went on.

This feeling of walking on the blade of fate is wonderful.

After a while, a group of people scurried into a valley.

The seismic spell collapsed the surrounding rock walls, and the group of Poison Bee Pioneers finally shook off the pursuers behind them.

"Fortunately, there is a way to retreat, and those guys from the Eastern Wilderness should not be able to catch up."

"Damn, we've lost six brothers! If it weren't for the fact that there were fewer of us, Lao Tzu really wanted to go back and kill those guys! ”

"Let's fix it here for a while, Joel, Rot, you guys are on guard!"

"Yes, Captain."

“.”

A man in Assassin attire stood up.

No one noticed his anomaly.

This is none other than Ji Xun.

Almost everyone in the team was wounded, and six people died.

Coincidental!

"Joel" didn't have many friends in the team who knew him well, and they all happened to die.

No one paid attention to this already marginalized teammate.

Little Kavin, the words are a little less~
