The fat-headed, big-eared Lord Lamb left the Pioneer Regiment's camp contentedly.

Ji Xun watched silently on the broken floor, his brows twisted slightly.

A sense of crisis hit my heart.

He glanced at the huge cage in the slave camp in the distance, and thought to himself, "If the 'jar' that the Irel Empire's higher-ups want is really the incantation clay pot in my hand. Am I not delivering to my door? ”

Ji Xun didn't bring anything else, but he had two [incantation clay pots] with him at any time.

It's not just this jar that has the auxiliary effect of speeding up cultivation.

What's more, it can prevent curses, and it is also exempt from some super-level occult spell detection.

In Jia Yu's words, everything in the universe has its own destiny. Ji Xun was able to get these two jars, which was part of his "luck". Carrying it with you can also enhance your luck. This is also why many people like to wear some special relics to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. The essence is that the object itself contains some extraordinary characteristics of amplification, which can affect people's own luck.

However, the [Mantra Clay Pot] rank is too high, and Jia Yu can't say what exact benefits it has.

But he said that at least Ji Xun has not had an accident for so long, and his life can afford it.

And mystical spells such as divination have a price.

The jar was originally a sealed outer god, and the existence of this rank was not at all something that humans could divination.

There is also a hidden special effect of natural anti-occult spells.

"However, since the fat man said that the 'monsters' in the box are used to find the jars, if they are really the two on my body, could it have actually found the jars on my body?"

That's what Ji Xun was worried about.

The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange transcendental beings.

Not surprising.

Thinking of this, the thoughts in his head spread out like countless threads.

The brain becomes an extremely complex labyrinth, with some thoughts colliding into the train of thought and some continuing to deduce.

In the end, two conclusions were drawn.

First, the monster either didn't notice it.

Second, they either found out but didn't say it.

Intuition and deduction both tell Ji Xun that it is the second possibility.

The fact that the people of the Errel Empire had made so much effort to carry such a large iron cage showed that the "monster" must have a special ability to detect the existence of the jar.

And at such a close distance, if you have the ability to find it, you should have found it earlier.

"Tsk, it's interesting, I found that I didn't say that the 'monster' in the cage is not completely controlled by those people."

Ji Xun came to a conclusion, and suddenly became a little curious about what the monster was.

Captivity is needed, and there are heavy guards

Judging from these two points alone, the relationship between the monster and the Serpent Legion may not be so friendly.

It is likely that it is because of some special reasons that I was forced to find the jar.

Normally, if Ji Xun wants to ensure his own safety, it is the best choice for him to leave now.

I don't know when the monster will reveal the information about the jar on his body for some reason.

However, the first time this thought flashed through Ji Xun's mind, he immediately rejected it.

He chose to stay.

Although there is a risk, it also means "opportunity".

When he saw those pure human war slaves before, he realized that the Errel Empire was not entirely monolithic.

There are so many war slaves, which means that the power of Ming resistance is not small.

The enemy of the enemy is the ally.

Ji Xun saw a chance to break the game.

The battle at the Nuggets Pier lasted for a long time, and the battle was very fierce.

The roar of the explosion can be heard clearly even from dozens of kilometers away.

Although there is more than one seventh-order pioneer of the Stinger Legion led by General Herman, the Nugget Pier has also spent a lot of financial and material resources to deploy defenses during this period of time, and it is not so easy to break through in a short period of time.

Moreover, there are also a number of top federal combat forces such as Gong Wu gathered on the dock.

No matter how detailed Ji Xun is, they are all arrogant guys, and they will definitely not retreat without a fight.

So much so that on the side of the Stinger Legion, they thought it would be the end of the blitzkrieg.

I didn't expect it to drag on for so long.

However, follow-up reinforcements also rushed over one after another.

Although the battle is fierce, the outcome is decided.

Ji Xun informed Caterina of the situation.

He didn't know what the battle was going on.

But he also knew that the Lionhearts would definitely not defend the Nuggets Pier.

Finally, a violent explosion shook the ground and the battle came to an end.

The space of the cave world is like a tunnel, and the shock wave has nowhere to be released, and it will be like a flood in all directions.

A few breaths after the explosion, a shockwave swept through the camp.

It was also the first time for Ji Xun to see such a terrifying explosion.

The sand and gravel blown up dozens of kilometers away hit people's skin painfully, and you can imagine how terrible the situation on the side of the Nugget Wharf is.

In the camp.

Buildings are cracked, sand and rocks are flying, and people are turning over on their backs.

The sergeants of the Serpent Legion were so frightened by this movement that they ran out of the camp one after another, all with shocked expressions.

Because there is no mechanical technology in the Southern Continent.

They also lack a basic understanding of physical explosions.

"What's going on!"

"How could there be such a big movement!"

"Damn it! Those guys in the East Wilderness aren't going to blow up the Nuggets Dock? ”

“.”

Ji Xun squinted at the entire panicked camp, and also understood the tactics of the Lionheart.

The previous protracted war was deliberately to attract enemy reinforcements.

Attract reinforcements to a devastating wave of suicide bombings.

Bombs do have a limited impact on high-tier card masters, but they also have to be considered.

The movement of this explosion is tantamount to a nuclear bomb.

Ji Xun estimated that maybe these guys had guessed correctly, and the entire Nugget Pier didn't exist at the moment.

With this tactic, kill 800 enemies and injure 1,000 yourself.

But if you really want to talk about war damage, the Federation may not be able to bargain.

But Ji Xun also knows that this battle is about morale.

If you really want to consider the battle damage, it is best for the Lionhearts to evacuate the empty city.

But they didn't.

Instead, he chose to pay a huge price and be tough on the front.

Fear has always come from the unknown, and before the war began, there were a large number of surrenderers in the Federation, because they felt that they had no chance of winning.

The vast majority of people are also waiting.

Even the main battle faction was apprehensive.

If there is really no hope of victory, no one wants to die.

But now these two tough battles have played a completely new scene.

Intercepting and killing the Seventh Order before, he broke the invincible fear of the "super-rank" enemy in the hearts of everyone in the Federation;

This battle shattered the myth of the invincibility of the enemy legion;

It can be said that these two battles laid the foundation for the enduring morale of the protracted war for many years to come.

The chaos in the camp continued.

Ji Xun's eyes patrolled the entire camp.

This sudden chaos can expose a lot of hidden intelligence.

For example, Ji Xun watched the camp tents all over the ground being overturned, but a certain camp tent did not move.

It can be seen that there must be masters in it.

"It turns out that there are big people hiding in this snake army."

Ji Xun thought that it was a legion that came to fight, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

There is also the existence of a "Mystic Overseer".

At this time, Ji Xun's eyes suddenly lit up.

The shock wave of the distant explosion also instantly lifted the black cloth of the steel prisoner car.

Ji Xun also saw the "monster" inside for the first time.

Is that a huge toad covered in pus-filled pimples?

The toad sat paralyzed in the prison car, not only was his shoulder blades pierced by iron chains and bleeding, but his hands, feet, and limbs were also locked with forbidden demon chains.

It looked like they were worried about its escape.

"Huh?"

Ji Xun suddenly thought it was some kind of demonic beast.

But looking at the toad's lazy eyes, his intuition told him that this was a human being.

Ji Xun had seen a talking Totoro before, and he had also seen a lot of magical beasts with no low intelligence.

But no matter how intelligent the monster is, the look in his eyes is different from that of humans.

The eye can see the soul.

Cursed humans?

And coincidentally, when Ji Xun looked at it at a glance, the toad also looked at it at a glance.

Tens of thousands of people in this barracks just saw this.

Even if it was just a momentary glance, Ji Xun immediately understood that this guy saw himself.

"Sure enough, I know I have a jar on me!"

Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly.

But then the corners of his mouth curled.

He guessed correctly, the toad had already found the jar on himself.

However, it was precisely by looking at each other that he was sure that the other party had no malicious intent.

There are even opportunities for cooperation.

"Looks like there's a chance to touch that toad."

Ji Xun muttered in his heart.

Since the other party can sense the existence of the jar, he must know some secrets.

This may also be a "key point" to break the game.

After a moment of confusion, the guard's guards once again covered the cage with a black cloth.

After Ji Xun knew that there were masters in a certain tent, he didn't dare to look at it more.

He also cleaned up his tent that had been blown up.

Waiting and waiting, at this time, the communicator that has been paying attention suddenly transmitted an encrypted message with vibration.

Simple message: I'm alive.

When Ji Xun saw this, he was inexplicably relieved.

The Lionheart family must have suffered heavy casualties in the big explosion just now.

He was also worried about the death of his old friend in battle.

It's good that you're not dead.

And then here's another one: Your friends are all right.

Ji Xun looked at it, and the last trace of worry in his heart also dissipated.

Gong Wu and Qin Ru participated in the war, largely because they trusted themselves to cooperate with the Lionheart.

Fortunately, there were no surprises.

Waiting for the news he wanted to wait for, Ji Xun's mood also lightened.

Not long after, news came back from the Nuggets Pier.

The process is similar to what Ji Xun calculated.

The vanguard led by General Herman failed to quickly take the heavily defended Nuggets Wharf, and fell into a stalemate;

Then the follow-up troops reinforced and attacked the city, and began to fight street battles

didn't want to fight, the Lionheart family directly blew up the city and the entire dock.

Ji Xun didn't see the tragic scene with his own eyes, but it was said that the rock walls in a radius of miles over there had collapsed and fallen into the endless abyss.

Although the explosion failed to kill the high-level card divisions including General Herman, the tens of thousands of stinging snake legions suffered serious losses.

This battle made the entire Stinging Snake Army silent.

The main army was deflated, and everyone in Ji Xun's poisonous bee pioneer group was a little happy.

Look, it's not our dish, but the enemy is too cunning.

Before, their vanguard corps was alone in the blame, and now that the general himself came, it did not achieve the expected results.

The black cauldron has a higher official position on top, and the pressure is less all of a sudden.

What's more, those people failed to blitzkrieg the Nuggets Pier and failed to cross the abyss.

The artifact chain that linked the Nugget Dock was also taken back by the Orlan royal family.

The Eastern Continent and the Middle Earth Continent were completely disconnected.

However, Ji Xun looked at the reactions of all parties in the barracks, and the Errel Empire seemed to have some special means of transportation to cross the abyssal rift.

It's right to think about it.

After all, there is also a rift between the Southern Continent and the Middle Earth Road, and there must be special tools to cross it.

It's just that it will take a while for that thing to get here.

There were more and more battle reports coming back, and Ji Xun didn't feel any surprises.

Up to now, almost all of Jia Yu's previous chats are gradually staged.

This was followed by a long guerrilla war.

It's been another half a month.

The Nuggets Pier is gone, and there is no point in staying in this ruin.

The Serpent Legion marched towards the new cities of the Lion City that the Federation had established in the Old World.

However, after that, there were basically only some empty buildings left, and the hunters had already heard the news and hid in the wilderness.

Even so, there are probably millions of people in the entire Old Continent.

There are guerrilla wars almost every day, and people are caught every day.

In addition to interrogating some intelligence, the Thorn Snake Legion did not kill these prisoners of war, and used them as cannon fodder to open up the wasteland space.

Ji Xun's poisonous bee pioneer group, the task is still to explore the way.

But not blindly pathfinding.

Those men seemed to have a map of the Old World in their hands, as well as the "toad" who guided them in certain directions.

Since these people from the Errel Empire are here to find the "jar", except for the ruins, almost any extradimensional space has not been spared.

It is not clear why.

Ji Xun couldn't be clearer.

After all, he got one of the jars in Greedy Mine.

The level of that extradimensional space is not high, but it is hidden very secretly, and it needs to be unlocked with a high degree of difficulty to get it.

Every space is not missed, so the exploration progress is not fast.

And the consumption of personnel is also very large.

Rao is follow-up also rushed to several other legions of the Red Dragon Kingdom and a large number of war slaves, but it was still not enough.

Until this day, the turning point came.

Ji Xun followed the large army to the ruins of a city called "Valen City" and found an extradimensional space called "Valen Rebel Camp".

The main army stopped.

This is a fourth-order extradimensional space, and the difficulty is very high.

Several batches of cannon fodder were stuffed, but only a little rudimentary information was discovered.

Ji Xun also understood a little.

These guys seem to know certain directional clues, and when they find some "special historical plots", they will focus on exploring.

This "Valen Rebel Camp" seems to have something to do with jars, or something special.

But Ji Xun didn't care about any other-dimensional space.

Because he had finally found a chance to get close to the toad.

The Old World was a vast expanse, and after entering the city, the Serpent Legion also scattered.

It is like a large net that spreads out, "netting fish" on a large scale, and opening up multiple other-dimensional spaces at the same time.

However, the Poison Bee Pioneer Regiment is one of the best reconnaissance groups, and they have always followed the main group.

Ji Xun has been looking for an opportunity to get close to the toad for a few days.

The legion is too scattered, and even the main regiment is only about a thousand people at the moment.

With a small number of people, staffing is stretched.

The difficult interdimensional space of "Valen Rebel Camp" not only consumes a large number of war slaves, but also has sergeants who enter it.

After losing a number of main forces, the vanguard also took on the responsibility of guarding the slaves.

On this day, the opportunity also came.

Slaves were not only guarded, but also fed every day.

One of the tasks was to bring food to the toad every day and clean up the excrement in the prisoner car.

It wasn't a big deal, but if you got close to the prisoner's car, you could smell a poisonous stench of corruption.

It's the most hated job in the entire camp.

Ji Xun's disguised "Joel" character is a stuffy jar, and he is doing the dirty work and tiring work in the pioneer group alone.

So after the vanguard group was in charge of the slaves, the job naturally fell on him.

Ji Xun didn't show any abnormalities either.

For three days in a row, they delivered food and cleaned the prisoner car.

Obviously he had the opportunity to contact the toad, but he didn't make any moves.

The toad didn't move.

It wasn't until the fourth day that the guards guarding the prison van were all familiar.

Seeing Ji Xun come to clean, those guards avoided some distance, not wanting to be polluted by the stench.

He covered his mouth and nose with a thick black cloth and began his daily cleaning.

Ji Xun originally wanted to observe more.

But this time, the toad took the initiative to speak: "You are very smart. But if a stranger approaches, he will inevitably be watched by that person. I didn't expect you to hold back and not take the initiative to talk to me a few days ago. ”

Although it heard the voice, the toad did not speak.

A ventriloquist-like ability was used.

“.”

These words rushed into his ears, and Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly.

But I was not surprised.

Normally, it is impossible for a fourth-order card master to discover that kind of mysterious level of surveillance.

But Ji Xun's "meaning" is now very proficient.

Combined with the causal line deduced from "I am the world", it is involved in this toad.

He was sure that if he approached this guy, there must be risks.

In the past few days, he has always had a faint sense of crisis that his back is being stared at.

Therefore, there has been no change.

Even the shadow didn't dare to use it indiscriminately.

It's about silently observing where that risk comes from.

In addition, he had to observe the toad itself.

If it's a fool, or if it's ill-intentioned, it's definitely not a partner to work with.

But apparently, this toad is not, but extremely intelligent.

The thoughts in his mind were flying, and Ji Xun's movements did not pause at all, and he continued to clean up the green feces that this guy seemed to be deliberately straining, so that the guards could avoid it farther.

The toad looked at Ji Xun's expression without any abnormality, and also said with appreciation: "Tsk, the courage is really good." You know that I found you, and instead of running away, I came to approach me. In this way, you must not be from the Red Dragon Kingdom. It's strange, it's not a 'dragon traitor'.Oh, you should be from the Eastern Wilderness Card Division, right? I have to say, it's amazing that you can do this."

Cooperation has always been mutual.

If it was a fool who approached rashly, he would never have spoken.

After all, those people in the Red Dragon Kingdom would not give the fool a chance to live.

“.”

Ji Xun still didn't respond.

The toad also calmed down.

The two of them didn't speak, they were both observing everything about the other.

Finally, Ji Xun asked first: "What do you have. Something of value to me? ”

The basis of the cooperation is the mutual exchange of value between the two people.

Ji Xun also wanted to try this toad when he touched it.

It is not clear what the other party can bring to him.

If the benefits are not enough, he will never continue to take risks.

He couldn't hear the sound when he spoke, and this was the secret technique he learned from Caterina - [Directional Sonic Transmission].

The toad looked at this secret technique, and was slightly surprised in his heart.

But I take it for granted.

Without this, it wouldn't have been so perfectly disguised.

He responded, "I didn't reveal that you had 'that thing' on you, is that enough?" ”

Ji Xun said indifferently: "It's not enough." If this thing falls into the hands of the Red Dragon Kingdom, it will be even more disadvantageous for you, or for some people. ”

This is the result that he has deduced countless possible results in the past few days.

The other party didn't expose himself, but it was not for other reasons.

The most likely thing is that this thing falls into the hands of the high-level of the Errel Empire, which is very detrimental to the enemies of the Empire.

This guy is a prisoner and certainly doesn't want to see the enemy get stronger.

Hearing this, a touch of surprise really flashed in the toad's eyes: "Hey, I thought you were more cautious before." Now it seems that it is still underestimated. ”

As he spoke, he changed his words: "However, your style of acting is also the person who has shown me the most hope of saving me at present." ”

Hearing this, there were many people who tried to save him before.

But the truth is that he is still in the prison car.

That is, those people failed.

Ji Xun asked calmly, "Why should I save you?" ”

There is no need to beat around the bush in the dialogue between smart people, this toad can provide value, so what you want to repay must be to save him first.

Hearing this, the toad seemed to understand something, and laughed at himself: "So you don't know me." Hehe, that's right, I look like a monster, so no one can recognize it."

He didn't say anything, and said directly: "If you know my career sequence, you will understand why I was imprisoned." And there will also be a basic foundation of trust between us. ”

Ji Xun was curious about what reason the other party would use to convince him: "Oh? ”

Toad said lightly: "My card master's career sequence is [10 of Hearts - Hero], and the advanced class is [Dragon Slayer Warrior]. ”

"Dragon Slayer Warrior?"

In an instant, Ji Xun understood.

This sequence was no stranger to him.

His third-level fusion [Dragon Catcher] is a special card for this class sequence.

This sequence is known by the name, and the dragon is the enemy.

It's no surprise that this guy is in captivity.

But why did the Dragon Slayer Warrior turn into a toad?

The toad obviously knew that Ji Xun would be puzzled, and said, "As for why I became like this, it's because I'm cursed. It's hard to say more about the details now. If you're willing to take the risk, we can talk about collaboration. If you don't want to, then I'd advise you to get out of here as soon as possible."

When Ji Xun heard this, he groaned for a moment and said, "How to save it?" ”

Some class sequences require not only talent and imprints, but also character traits that fit the person.

It's like Xie Guozhong's inauguration of [Block 6 - Outlaw Maniac].

If you don't have justice in mind, you can't be promoted to a higher rank.

The toad in front of him can be locked by such a thick iron chain, and before it becomes a monster, the rank must not be low.

He can be promoted to a high rank, which means that he can be called a "hero" in a sense.

At least from this point of view, there is no need to doubt character.

This is also what this guy said, the basis of cooperation.

"It's really bold!"

Hearing that Ji Xun was so decisive, the toad praised again and asked rhetorically, "Do you dare to take risks?" ”

Ji Xun realized something: "This extradimensional space? ”

With this, he immediately understood that the extradimensional space of this "Valen Rebel Camp" was definitely not simple.

And this toad knows something else.

Tut-tut, the master is really everywhere.

So, from the very beginning, this guy also wanted to create contact opportunities for him?

Ji Xun thought that he was the only one who was trying his best to contact the other party.

Unexpectedly, this toad has also been secretly arranged.

The people who led the Serpent Legion here, suffered heavy casualties, and then the Vanguard Regiment took over

The sequence of steps looks like it happens completely naturally.

But now when he heard this, Ji Xun saw an inconspicuous dark line involved in one link after another.

The toad seemed to see that Ji Xun understood everything, and didn't say much, but he was equally surprised.

He sighed from the bottom of his heart and said, "Your rank is not high, but your mind is sharp, and it is the most of this rank I have ever seen." Your career sequence is very special. Prophet? Minstrel? Wise man? ”

Ji Xun didn't say much, only said lightly: "What do you need me to do?" ”

The toad's tone was also very serious: "Be prepared for the possibility of dying." ”

“.”

Hearing this, Ji Xun was not surprised.

Instead, he smiled wryly.

Oh, that's it.

The time is a bit rushed, so I'm sorry
