Ji Xun took out the yellowed papyrus.

The paper contained only graffiti-like drawings of landmarks, mountain terrain, and a crossed-out coordinate point.

This is the reward drawn from the previous "Valen City Rebel Camp".

Moreover, the special items from the S-level difficulty extradimensional space are definitely not ordinary.

Ji Xun previously suspected that it was the tomb of Augustus.

Now it seems that it is not.

At least not the mausoleum of Alduin, the Mad King, the last emperor of Talen.

But the coordinates on this map point to the depths of the Loone Heights.

Now that the Heights of Rune are home to the tombs of the Tallons, what else could there be in this place?

Ji Xun felt that even if it wasn't the ancestral tomb that Chu Jiu said, there was a high probability that it would have something directly related.

Chu Jiu looked at the map, and his expression also fell into thought: "You mean to say that there must be clues related to the ancestral tomb of Augustus here?" ”

"Hmm."

Ji Xun also deliberately observed Nan Jing, the inheritor of the high priest, and looked at her blankly, obviously not knowing.

He added: "But what it is, you may have to look at it to be confirmed." ”

Now that you're in the Loone Heights, you have to see what the map points to.

Master Gamil was a top cardmaker thousands of years ago, and his ability to craft a master key to unlock a slave's collar is a testament to his prowess at spells.

This kind of top card master is worried about things, and it is definitely not ordinary.

When looking for a person in the previous season, you may also have to carefully consider the risk of exploration.

But now the strength of the three of them is completely enough.

Chu Jiu Neng fought back and forth with Arthur, the new king of the seventh order, and he already had the qualifications to go deep in this highland; What's more, there is a mysterious Miss Marukotou.

The most important point is the bloodline of the ninth year.

Ji Xun guessed that the places marked on the map might not be returned to outsiders.

But not necessarily for the ninth year of junior high school.

This could be a "special pass".

Just like the previous mausoleums, the mausoleum burglar ban is aimed at outsiders and does not harm the Augustan blood.

When Nanjing heard this, he blinked, and immediately became interested: "Okay~"

In her eyes, it is also very exciting to get together with good friends and have adventures together.

As she spoke, she tilted her head and asked, "Sister Chu Jiu, what do you think?" ”

Chu Jiu also nodded when he heard this: "Hmm." ”

She also felt that a familiar sense of tacit understanding lingered in her heart.

They are all old friends who are very trusting, and Ji Xun doesn't ink, and says directly: "The location of the coordinates is one hundred and seventy kilometers northeast, but the information near that coordinate is currently blank." The adventurers of the Southern Continent have found some high-level necromantic monsters on the outskirts of that area."

He didn't just want to blend in with the trials team of the Royal Academy.

Ben is to prepare for the coordinates on the map.

He's gathered enough intelligence.

After eating, the three of them rested a little and set off from the camp.

There are a large number of necromantic monsters in the highlands of Lune, and the deeper you go, the higher the rank of the necromantic monsters.

And this is an intelligence blind spot, and Ji Xun doesn't know what to encounter.

The three of them didn't dare to go too fast.

Fortunately, there is the five-eyed civet cat of Nanjing, and this calamity's super spiritual sense allows the three of them to avoid those dangerous areas.

The journey went smoothly too.

The three of them walked all the way, chatting all the way.

"If there are such a dense number of necromantic monsters, it should be that there have been top necromancers who have used the 'Undead Scourge'. I am afraid that there was a fierce battle on the heights of Lune back then, and I don't know who made the shot."

"This should have happened after our flame went to the Eastern Wilderness. There is no mention of it in the texts of the court lineage."

"Xiao Nan, do you know how the Talon Dynasty collapsed? Also How did the "Mad King" Alduin die? ”

"I don't know~ My mother didn't tell me. It's just that it is said that several outer gods woke up, and then the empire collapsed. Sister Chujiu, what about you? ”

"I don't know. However, judging from the current situation, Tarun's collapse may not only be due to the outer gods, but also the decay of royal power. I cooperated with the rebel dragon army before, and I talked a little bit about that period of history. They say that the collapse of Tarun was directly related to the "Mad King" Aldu's incompetence and cruelty. Otherwise, he wouldn't have died and gone to the imperial tomb to destroy the coffin and prevent him from resurrecting."

"I think this has something to do with Xiao Nan's ancestors. After all, the Protector Angel was killed by your ancestors."

"How do I know the arrangement of the ancestors? My mother didn't tell me anything about it, she always let me understand more."

“.”

As the excavations of the Old World deepened, the history that had been submerged in dust gradually came to the surface.

Ji Xun became more and more interested in that period of Talen history.

From glory to collapse, in his eyes, this is the fate of a dynasty where countless lines of personal fate converge.

The "world" of this specification, just by deducing, makes people feel very addicted.

It just so happens that there is a royal descendant here, and there is also a high priest's lineage.

They know too much to know about history.

But unfortunately, one of them was an illegitimate daughter, and the other did not receive a complete high priesthood inheritance.

They don't know much about that dynastic history.

In the end, he pieced together some fragments of information, and Ji Xun also deduced the general idea of the collapse of the dynasty.

The three of them walked more than 100 kilometers for most of the day.

The map was rudimentary, but the key landmarks were accurately described.

Ji Xun and the three of them finally approached the coordinate pointed on the map.

As I walked, I was surrounded by a tall barren forest filled with thick fog.

The branches were bare, pitch black as ink, like a monster with teeth and claws in the thick fog.

The vegetation on the heights of Lune is polluted by the breath of the dead all year round, and it is basically so lifeless.

The three of them were not surprised.

This place is already very close to that coordinate, and Ji Xun doesn't dare to be careless.

He guessed that even if it wasn't an ancestral spirit, it must be something special.

So keep an eye on your surroundings all the way.

Fortunately, the perception of the three of them is very keen, and there is also Miss Marukotou's psychic object, and they have avoided the danger that most of the adventure groups will most likely be wiped out.

But even if you have been very careful, something has gone wrong.

Walking and walking, Ji Xun found a problem and stopped.

Chu Jiu saw him stop, immediately realized something, and asked vigilantly, "What's wrong?" ”

Nanjing was a little late-sighted, staring at the big smart eyes and looking around, but didn't find anything abnormal.

No monsters, no pollution.

I didn't notice any difference from the previous journey.

Ji Xun's eyes were contemplative, and he said very calmly: "We are lost. ”

"Lost?"

This said, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing were both slightly surprised.

The three of them are not low-level, and it stands to reason that there will never be such a low-level mistake as getting lost in an adventure.

What's more, they thought about it for a while, but they didn't find a problem, and it was normal all the way.

But since it was Ji Xun who said it, the two girls also took it seriously.

But if it's just getting lost, it's not a big problem for them.

Nan Jing turned his head to look at Ji Xun and asked curiously, "How did you find out?" ”

"The flat stone next to your left foot was placed by me earlier. We never went back, but the stone repeatedly. That is, either there is a problem with the space and we go back to where we were before; Either our perception is disturbed."

Ji Xun is also very strange, and he definitely didn't go the wrong way in his senses.

Since this Lune Heights had been determined to be the location of Emperor Augustus's tomb, he did not dare to be careless from beginning to end.

Along the way, he counted his steps to calculate distances and used a variety of references to determine directions.

Even taking into account that the subjective consciousness is disturbed by some mysterious factors, there are physical markers left along the way.

Theoretically, it's absolutely impossible to get lost.

But the facts are right in front of you.

Several methods have been used, but they are still hit.

Perception didn't notice anything unusual, but a small stone marked it and made things weird.

But his tone was calm, after all, it was a good thing in a sense.

The mysterious power that can affect the perception of the three people at the same time is absolutely very high at the level of law.

That means they're in the right place.

Hearing Ji Xun's words, Chu Jiu's expression did not change when he heard this, and he looked around with a cold gaze, perceiving something.

Originally, I was lost, and the atmosphere was a little serious.

But at this time, Nan Jing's voice sounded slowly: "Stone, where?" ”

This Miss Pill Head instinctively lowered her head, wanting to see which mark Ji Xun said.

But after scanning around, I still didn't see it.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized something.

She took a half step back and saw the stone beneath her feet.

When Ji Xun saw this scene, his eyebrows moved slightly, as if he was smiling.

This Miss Ball's chest is too proud, and she blocked her vision just now, and she didn't see the stone on her toes when she looked down.

Rao is Chu Jiu with a cold expression, and at this moment, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Nan Jing looked at the strange eyes of the two, and a touch of red instantly spread on her pretty face, and in a panic, she explained in a nutshell: "I just didn't notice it."

Ji Xun couldn't help but chuckle after all.

When they met again in the tent of the Screaming Valley camp before, he actually found out.

Nanjing's figure is a little plumper than the last time I saw it, and the waist is still slender, but the chest is becoming more and more majestic.

At the age of uprightness, youth and romance, his figure is like a pomelo in autumn, and as time grows, he gradually has a bit of heavy maturity.

But she exudes a kind of girlish innocence all over her body.

This contrast gives this Miss Maruko a unique cuteness.

Hearing this, Nan Jing also knew what he was laughing at, cast a resentful gaze, and muttered in a low voice: "Mr. Ji Xun, you make fun of me~"

Ji Xun smiled and shook his head.

It's not an outsider, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at it again, and said truthfully: "It's good." Xiao Nan is getting more and more beautiful. ”

"Huh?"

This is when I first met before, Nan Jing would definitely not dare to accept this.

But now that he has experienced many life and death adventures, he has long since lost his life.

What's more, she could also hear that Ji Xun was really boasting about herself.

Far from being awkward, the atmosphere is warm and pleasant only with very familiar friends.

Hearing this, the young lady with the head of the pill suddenly stopped complaining, and tilted her little head and stared at Ji Xun's expression seriously.

Then he grinned.

The pear vortex sunk slightly, revealing the pair of cute little tiger teeth, and she responded playfully: "Thank you for the compliment~"

Ji Xun smiled and said nothing.

In the sharp eyes of Chu Jiu on the side, a touch of soft color rarely appeared.

The serious atmosphere of getting lost was diluted by Nanjing's words.

But after coming to their senses, the three of them also have to solve the dilemma in front of them.

After observing for a while, there was no danger, and they continued to walk.

Ji Xun already knows a lot about the principles of various labyrinths.

Now that the amount of knowledge has been accumulated, coupled with that super deduction ability, the general labyrinth does not pose a threat to him at all.

What's more, there is enough food in the storage ring, and it is impossible to die of sleepiness.

In his opinion, the danger is never the labyrinth itself, but something else.

It seems to have returned to the time of "The Labyrinth of the Great Cemetery", the two daughters of Chu Jiu and Nan Jing are obviously stronger, but they are very patient as Ji Xun's little followers.

With such two powerful partners, Ji Xun also focuses on solving the problem of getting lost.

Along the way, various marks were left behind.

I'm trying to find a variety of solutions.

This walk took nearly half an hour.

The three of them were worried that the monster didn't show up, so they kept circling around the dense fog forest.

Suddenly, Ji Xun stopped again: "It's strange that it's an irregular cycle?" ”

After walking a few laps, he also confirmed some patterns.

It's irregular.

The forest is far less than the size of the Necropolis Labyrinth, and there is no trace of any artificial mechanism.

So it's not a "moving maze" either.

How?

And what's even more bizarre is that the three of them have exhausted all kinds of means, and they don't notice what mysterious force is interfering with perception.

This is what Ji Xun is most puzzled about.

Theoretically, such an irregular labyrinth is absolutely impossible to exist in a limited space.

At least it won't leave him without any clues at all.

Either there is something wrong with the laws of space in the forest.

Or human intervention?

Ji Xuntui performed the two most reasonable situations.

His instincts made him more inclined to the latter.

That is, there is some kind of "mysterious will" in this forest.

It artificially changed some paths to make this forest maze "irregular" at all, inducing Ji Xun and the three of them to get lost.

The goal is not to trap them, but to prevent them from approaching the area of coordinates on the map.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's expression became slightly strange.

How it feels like

Some boring prank of the "ancient will" to have some fun with his long life?

Hey, yes!

Ji Xun had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

There has been no living person in this Lune Heights for thousands of years, and if you have been trapped for too long, there may not be any undead spirits who are not quite mentally normal.

"Could it be some neutral necromancer?"

Ji Xun thought of the situation in the secret realm of Xia Mu City.

There are many high-level necromancers who have been trapped in a time loop for thousands of years, and most of them are neutral.

No malice, just trapping.

That may be the case.

Ji Xun stopped to think, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing didn't bother, and stood quietly beside him.

Seeing his expression suddenly relieved, Miss Marukatou spoke: "Mr. Ji Xun, did you find something?" ”

She didn't panic at all.

If you get trapped, it's a big deal to go to the underworld, and you can always leave.

Ji Xun said his guess: "It's not the maze that traps us. Probably some 'ancient will'. ”

He wasn't sure what it was.

Everything has spirituality, ancient relics, dead spirits, and even conscious flowers and plants.

As soon as they heard this, Chu Jiu and Nan Jing's expressions also understood something, and they immediately became alert.

didn't think about it at this time, Ji Xun suddenly spoke: "Senior, we are adventurers, we came here following the treasure map, and we have no intention of offending"

Thinking that the will was neutral, he tried to communicate.

Ben is also telling the truth, in case the other party is interested in communicating, there can be a follow-up.

But when he said this, there was no movement at all.

There was still a dead silence all around.

Ji Xun frowned slightly.

There are only two outcomes.

Either you guessed wrong.

Either the "ancient will" doesn't want to deal with it.

Thinking of this, another thought flashed through Ji Xun's mind, he looked at Chu Jiu beside him and proposed, "Chu Jiu, why don't you show your demon god power?" ”

Chu Jiu understood very tacitly and nodded: "Hmm." ”

She also guessed that whether this labyrinth was forbidden or something, it was most likely left by the ancestors of Augustus.

His own bloodline identity may be the only key.

As she spoke, her expression suddenly froze, and an ice and snow demon wearing a crown appeared behind her.

At the same time, the domineering cold air also spread into the forest.

[Q - White Queen] is one of the two exclusive transcendent sequences that have been passed down by the Augustan royal family for countless years.

Ji Xun thought that three thousand years had passed, and that "ancient will" didn't know people, so he should always know this professional ability.

The truth is exactly what he thinks.

The will came sooner than expected!

It was the next moment when the demon god phantom appeared on the ninth day, and a hoarse whisper sounded.

Ji Xun Yixi: "There really is!" ”

Just conjecture.

Now that it has been confirmed that the "ancient will" really exists, the current situation is suddenly complicated.

Nanjing and Chu Jiu beside him also showed caution.

At that moment, in the dark forest, a rickety figure slowly walked out of the mist.

"People?"

Ji Xun was also slightly surprised.

Or rather, creatures in human form.

The old woman in front of her looked like a living corpse crawling out of the grave.

The black and gray robe on his body had long been tattered, and there was a dead wooden cane, his bare skin was pale and dry, and he looked like he was on the verge of decay, and his eyes were as dull and blue as those of ghouls.

But when she raised her head and looked at the ninth day of the first month, there was a touch of vitality of a living person.

Comes and goes.

Ji Xun quietly observed the mysterious old woman who suddenly appeared.

It looks like a dead soul, but it looks like a living person, and there is no "qi" on its body at all.

The old woman looked at the phantom of the demon god behind Chu Jiu, and then looked at the Nanjing who had entered the state of battle with the big scroll behind her, and occupied it for a moment in a daze, before she seemed to remember something, and muttered to herself: "The inheritor of Nan Daren, it seems that it has been too long. It's been a long, long time."

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned.

This man recognized Nanjing as a descendant of the High Priest's lineage?

I didn't feel hostility for the first time, and Ji Xun's hanging heart also fell.

The most important thing is that no matter what kind of existence this old woman is in front of her, she has the mind of a normal person and should be able to communicate.

Just as Ji Xun was thinking about how to speak, something unexpected happened.

The old woman stood there for a moment, and her memory seemed to have recovered a little intermittently.

She looked at Chu Jiu again, and a touch of solemnity and humble respect already appeared on her face.

Then she let go of the crutches in her hand, tidied up her tattered clothes, and knelt down solemnly under the surprised gaze of Ji Xun and the others: "The old slave is the guardian of the ancestral tomb. Meet Your Majesty. ”

This is an ancient court ceremony!

This scene stunned Ji Xun and the three of them.

was bowed down by an existence who didn't know how strong it was and how many years he had lived, and Chu Jiu was also stunned in place, and even a little overwhelmed.

The prostrations have been abolished since the collapse of the Oran dynasty more than 200 years ago.

Even for knights, the highest etiquette is only to get down on one knee.

However, the old woman in front of her made a very elaborate bow to her.
