Cataclysm King - #99 - Chapter 99: Elite Five
Chapter 99 The Elite Five
Probably the demon legion did not expect that a human being would light a beacon tower and then go to another one.
Ji Xun sneaked all the way at full speed without encountering any obstacles on the way.
The second beacon tower was lit very smoothly.
Then the third, the fourth, the fifth
Almost exactly as expected.
Ji Xun not only ignited the Beacon Tower to gain 4000 points of military exploits, but also harvested another four devil horns and some materials and equipment.
After cleaning up a few places, he also figured out the arrangement of the demon army.
Each Beacon Tower has about 2-3 disaster-level demon bosses.
One will stay at the Beacon Tower.
The others went to kill humans.
Ji Xun also ignited five seats smoothly all the way because of his decisive action.
However, his idea of igniting a dozen beacon towers is still hopeless.
The fact is that until the sixth seat, the demon army has already reacted.
Ji Xun encountered a heavily guarded beacon tower.
There is more than one C-level disaster like [Dark Elf Archer], so he dare not be careless.
Although the small groups were brought out to disperse and kill them, they could still clear up the sixth beacon tower.
But he didn’t do that.
dare not.
Ji Xun thought of something else.
He estimated the time.
A trap was set up near the sixth beacon tower, and then hid.
this time,
He wasn’t trying to catch a demon.
but people.
After all, once the beacon tower is lit, almost the entire Jagged Forest can see the blue light like a lighthouse.
It’s not just demons who notice.
Humans will also notice.
Especially those from the Lionheart family.
Those guys would probably be very surprised too. Among the 200 recruited cannon fodder hunters, is there anyone who can light the Beacon Tower?
Such a powerful character suddenly appeared in the hunter, and someone will definitely be sent to check.
Beacon towers are lit in the most recent order, and this rule can be followed.
If it were Ji Xun himself, it would not be difficult to find the person who lit the beacon tower.
Experienced hunters know that it is more important to guard against peers than monsters in different dimensions.
It was about the same as Ji Xun expected.
Not long after, five figures appeared in the forest.
They all wear capes of light-absorbing material.
This is not magic equipment, but technological equipment.
Before entering the space, the staff of the beast army had carefully studied all space rules.
In order to ensure the safety of the Ninth Young Master, they also made the best preparations within the scope of the rules.
The five of them relied on this invisibility cloak to avoid the devil’s eyeliner, and quietly crossed the sawtooth forest.
The task they were given was to catch them if they could, and to kill them if they couldn’t.
Absolutely must not have any unexpected factors that affect your young master’s passing the trial.
The five of them are the elite guards of the Beast Legion.
Suddenly, they stopped.
A person in the line made a gesture.
The remaining four people immediately understood: the target is in the direction of ten o’clock, about 300 meters.
Finding the target, one of them took off the invisibility cloak, and then the whole person sneaked into the air and disappeared.
This is a spell card master of the assassin sequence, the most common scouting unit in the army.
Assassins go first.
The remaining four people also marched quietly forward in the standard tactical position of “121”.
The black knight is in the front, the battle doctor and the legal system are in the center, and the last is a beast walker.
There is support before and after, and I am not afraid of being assassinated by assassins.
The tactic of five people was originally no problem.
But they didn’t know that there was already a pair of eyes waiting in the darkness.
The stealthy assassin walked over without making a sound.
Looking at the special compass in his hand, he quickly confirmed that the target was on the tree trunk.
This assassin is very experienced in combat, and he didn’t even make a sound when he climbed a tree.
He stepped on a branch, looked at the well-disguised “person” in front of him, and quietly drew out his dagger.
However, he didn’t notice at all that there were thin footprints on the shallow layer of developer powder laid on the tree trunk. In the void above his head, a sharp scalpel also showed a cold light.
“Whoosh!”
The sound of the dagger piercing through the air resounded.
plunged into the lurking “person” on the tree trunk.
But almost at the same time, the scalpel in mid-air also stabbed into the assassin’s back, and then pulled down violently.
The leather armor did not play a defensive role at all, and the sharp blade of the scalpel cut down instantly.
Even bones and muscles, a 20 cm wound was cut with a splash.
Ji Xun suddenly appeared, and severely wounded the stealthy assassin with one blow.
At this moment, he also confirmed his guess: the devil horn will really reveal his position!
When Ji Xun found out that the devil horn could not be put into the storage ring before, he guessed that although this thing is a good thing, it is also a hidden danger.
This is the space rule, not the item itself cannot be contained.
Clearly encouraging participants to **** each other.
Before, Ji Xun was constantly wandering, and he was not afraid of being followed.
But now that it is hiding in the forest, it will inevitably reveal its location if this thing is brought with it.
Looking at it now, it really is.
The assassin came to the door precisely, which means that the beast army guys have the means to locate the devil’s horn!
Ji Xun didn’t think that if he was caught by the Lionheart Legion, there would be room for negotiation.
Since we have to do it.
Then it is necessary to reduce the enemy’s personnel as soon as possible.
Ji Xun thought of this “devil horn” plan to lure the enemy.
The fact is as smooth as expected.
Ji Xun severely injured the attacking assassin with a knife.
However, he didn’t wait for him to make up the knife.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Three cards shot towards his position.
came very timely.
The movement of the cards was very small, but just these few cards passed by, and they were easily submerged into the hard tree trunk, and then pierced out.
You know, this kind of tree trunk with a diameter of one or two meters can’t even penetrate an annihilating bullet.
Good card!
Good tacit cooperation!
These three cards completely separated him from the injured assassin by a safe distance.
The badly injured assassin also knew that he had been tricked, dragging his seriously injured body, he was about to roll over and fall to the ground.
Ji Xun was forced to emerge from invisibility by the card, and instantly transformed into a werewolf.
However, he didn’t want to let the assassin go.
After the ultimate dodge, the wolf kicked off the tree trunk, and rushed towards the assassin in mid-air.
The werewolf’s outbreak speed obviously far exceeded the estimation of the five-member elite team.
After Ji Xun cut the assassin’s neck in mid-air, a few cards came late.
The body fell to the ground with a “boom”.
The werewolf that Ji Xun turned into landed without any delay, kicking off the ground and bouncing up.
It was the moment his feet left the ground, and he narrowly avoided a large hand condensed with earth elements growing rapidly from the ground.
Ji Xun glanced at it from the corner of his eye, squinted his eyes slightly, and said with emotion: “Is this the strength of the elite?”
Just from this tacit cooperation, he knew that this was definitely the strongest five-member team he had encountered.
Those few cards just now, six [Deceitful Wind Blades] and one [Elemental Hand], will cost more than a hundred thousand.
This style of play is beyond the imagination of ordinary hunters.
Fortunately, the assassin was killed quickly, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.
“Are there only five in total?”
Ji Xunzang sniffed in the dark.
Now that the enemy is in a combat state, the breath is also emitted.
He could already distinguish the smells from the bodies of the four people who were still alive.
Those four will not ignore their teammates.
Watching the assassin fall from the tree, he didn’t know whether he was alive or dead.
Several people also slowly approached.
But when they reached a position about tens of meters away, they didn’t get any closer.
At this time, the guy who was obviously a magic spell card master suddenly took out a khaki card, and as soon as the mana power was poured, an earth elemental puppet condensed out.
Ji Xun secretly looked at the puppet who opened the way, and immediately guessed the intention, and a strange color appeared in his eyes: “Tsk tsk, you are really cautious.”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The earth elemental puppet walked all the way, and when it happened to be near the corpse, it detonated several pre-buried booby traps.
With this bombing, the value of the corpse as bait is gone.
“It’s very tricky.”
When Ji Xun saw this, he knew that it would be difficult for him to kill the remaining four people head-on.
Originally thought that if one was killed quickly, the booby trap could hurt one, or at least destroy the formation, so there would be an opportunity.
Now the plan is half done.
To kill the other four, the difficulty is doubled.
But Ji Xun is not in a hurry.
He still has a plan B.
He knew very well that the task the team received was to find him.
Did not complete the task, even if they knew that there was a fatal danger, the four of them would never retreat easily.
Right now, this retreat action is obviously a tactical lure to the enemy.
If Ji Xun catches up, he will definitely fall into the trap they set up.
He’s not that stupid.
Ji Xun didn’t hide anymore, and stood up swaggeringly.
Wearing a cloak and a gas mask, you can’t see anything.
The four saw that he was not chasing him, and knew that the other party was not fooled, and they all showed their fighting form.
Looking at the attire, one [Ace of Spades-Black Knight], one [3 of Hearts-Battle Doctor], one [8 of Diamonds-Element Manipulator], and a Beast Walker who transformed into a bear.
Ji Xun looked at these guys, strong is strong, but he didn’t feel threatened at all.
Because no one can catch up with him.
Instead, he looked at the black bear with a strong breath, and took another look.
“Earth Violent Bear” can control the power of the earth element, and its defense is very strong.
The black knight is not easy to kill either.
The two sides confronted each other like this.
Although Ji Xun felt that he was sure of single-killing any of the above four people.
But he was not sure that he could get a bargain from the combination of the four.
He just looked at the four of them coldly, without panicking at all.
There is no communication between the two parties.
After a few breaths of confrontation.
Suddenly, Ji Xun’s mouth broke into a wicked smile.
He raised his gun and fired a flare into the forest.
In an instant, the light is bright and blinds the eyes.
Ji Xun liked a cold joke from his previous life. When you meet a tiger in the wild, you don’t have to run faster than the tiger. You just need to run faster than your companions.
He is alone, coming and going freely.
Four people on the other side, black knights, bears, none of them can run.
Here is not far from the beacon tower.
Since there is no chance in head-to-head, create opportunities.
The moment the flare was fired, the expressions of the four people all changed.
They also instantly guessed Ji Xun’s intention.
The leading black knight decisively decided: “Retreat first!”
But it was too late.
There were rustling sounds in the forest, apparently the demon army had surrounded them.
have been exposed, how could Ji Xun give these guys a chance to evacuate smoothly?
Directly, another flare had to be fired.
Now, the demons immediately identified the target.
Not just flares, but also【Dirty bomb card】.
Ji Xun himself has suffered a few times, and now he carries a lot with him.
Swoosh is a few lasing past.
This is not a harmful card, the explosion of the smell will pollute a large area.
Those four people inevitably got some.
And once you run fast, the invisibility suit is useless at all.
Ji Xun watched the elemental operator take out a few cards to clean up the four of them, and raised his eyebrows: “Oh, there is also a special [purification card]. The equipment is really complete.”
It is easy to pollute, but it is difficult to clean it.
This kind of card with nearly 100,000 cards cannot be consumed by ordinary hunters.
But there are quite a lot of 【Dirty Bullet Cards】in the Ji Xun card slot.
You purify, then I will fly around.
He wanted to see how many purification cards the opponent could have.
Ji Xun didn’t follow the four of them, but hung on the flanks, taking his time.
With his guidance, those demons quickly locked on the positions of several humans.
Ji Xun ran the fastest, and the demons couldn’t catch up with him, so they had to give priority to besieging the four beast legion guys.
I have to say that these four are really powerful.
He resisted the pursuit of hundreds of demon legions head-on, without losing the slightest bit.
But from the moment the four of them were exposed and prepared to escape together, they were destined to be unable to escape.
The speed of the four in full gear was not as fast as that of the little devil, and they were surrounded by groups before long.
The two sides fell into a fierce close-quarters fight.
Watching the monster army bite those four people, Ji Xun was no longer in a hurry.
He ran out of the monster encirclement.
As soon as the cloak was put on, he hid in a big tree and looked lively.
A C-level catastrophe [Fire Demon], a D-level [Giant Demon], and a C-level [Dark Elf Hunter] hiding in the dark and shooting cold arrows.
Then there are thousands of people.
Almost all the monsters from the sixth Beacon Tower have come.
This is not a small pressure for a team of only four people.
Although they are powerful single-handedly, they are hard to beat with four hands.
The [Big Flame Demon] looked like a monster coming out of a volcano, with red shiny magma flowing everywhere.
The black knight immediately stopped the monster.
The shield blocked the monster’s sword, and the extremely high temperature lava splashed in all directions, and the surrounding trees instantly scorched and burned.
Ji Xun looked at it in amazement: “This monster is so strong.”
He was afraid of this demon before, so he didn’t dare to storm the beacon tower.
His scalpel can only be effective if he is close to him, but this devil is full of magma, how can he get close?
If it weren’t for the black knight with this heavy armor, no one else would be able to get close.
Fortunately, now someone has tried the strength of the monster for him.
On the other side, the beast walker who transformed into a violent earth bear was also held back by the giant demon at the moment.
Ji Xun personally killed this monster.
High defense and high attack.
He can kill solo, but it doesn’t mean others can.
There is no relic-level [Plague Doctor Scalpel], this kind of power is terrifying, and monsters with rough skin and thick flesh are not easy to break through.
Beast Legion is almost all standard equipment.
There are advantages and disadvantages.
Standard equipment has a high attribute lower limit, but a lower upper limit.
Even if the Lionheart family is rich, it is impossible to equip these first-tier guards with relic-level equipment.
The Beastwalker still uses the armor and half-meat style, which is the same as Ji Xun’s previous camouflage outfit, with half-body armor, shoulder guards, leg guards, and exquisite fighting skills.
The main focus is close-up resistance and resistance.
But compared to that giant demon, the human body is much worse than a demon no matter what.
Hard resistance is definitely not a good choice.
But if you ignore it, this monster can smash two armored curse card masters into a pulp with one stick.
This person got tangled up in no time at all.
It is difficult to tell the winner in a short period of time.
The only variable among the four is the elemental operator.
At this moment, this guy has a rock barrier in one hand, protecting him and the doctor in it, and all kinds of cards are flying around in the other hand.
Self-protection uses [Rock Shield Card], attack uses [Fire Snake Card], [Flash Thunder Card], [Ice Crack Card], and blocks monsters from chasing and uses [Earth Crack Card].
It’s just these cards, tens of thousands of them are gone after a few swishes.
The effect is also very good.
The demons around are also harvesting in patches.
Large-scale group of monsters, there is no stronger spell card master than this professional sequence.
If the consumption continues like this, the elemental controller will be able to turn the tide of the battle if he frees up his hands after killing all the mobs.
However, in the darkness, there is still a [Dark Elf Hunter].
It was when the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, there was a “whoosh” breaking the wind.
A pitch-black arrow seemed to shoot out of the void.
It wasn’t seen by the naked eye until it appeared a few meters away from the four of them.
The element operator reacted extremely quickly, and immediately raised his hand to block, and the spell shield was behind the rock shield.
However, the intelligence of the dark elves is not at the same level as other demons who only know how to rush without thinking.
The target of this arrow is not him, but the doctor!
Arrows with spiral cyclones precisely passed through the barrier gap, skillfully split the shield, and hit the combat doctor who was throwing various potion bottles with one arrow.
There was a sound of piercing flesh and blood.
The arrow pierced the doctor’s lower abdomen from an extremely tricky angle, and the blood burst instantly.
The doctor quickly gave himself first aid.
But the second arrow came again.
The battle was fierce.
Ji Xun also took the opportunity to carefully observe the fighting methods of the four.
It is also fortunate that there is a demon army to help him test it out. Otherwise, if he really has to face it head-on with his own body, he may suffer a big loss.
Facing such a powerful monster, the four members of the team fought back and forth.
Even if there is no dark elf who shot cold arrows, they still have the posture to turn the tables.
The battle of life and death cannot be hidden, and all kinds of cards are used.
Ji Xun could also get a glimpse of the individual combat power of the beast army.
Also had an accurate idea of the strength of the 300-man legion that guarded Mr. Kahn.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ji Xun gradually had some inspiration in his heart.
The two sides fought fiercely for a quarter of an hour.
As planned for Plan B,
The fight became a lose-lose situation.
The [Big Flame Demon] was resisted by the black knight, and the element controller took the opportunity to fill the monster with ice spears.
And [Giant Demon] has wounds all over his body.
Especially the knees.
Ji Xun could think of this before, and the beast walker thought of it too, and he hit his knee with a fierce hammer.
But Ji Xun was safe and sound because he has a high agility attribute and can avoid attacks every time.
The earth storm bear transformed by this guy has amazing defense, but he is not good at moving.
In order to stop the monster from harassing his teammates, he resisted the monster a few times, and was beaten out many times, vomiting blood.
The doctor was seriously injured again and couldn’t take care of himself.
The four-person team fought harder and harder in the monster siege.
They haven’t forgotten that there is a mysterious person coveting secretly, and they are also timid when they fight.
But there is absolutely no way.
Ji Xun watched silently in the dark.
The elemental operator is really fierce.
One person killed hundreds of monsters, looking like he could kill through the demon army.
But human mana is limited after all, and cards are also limited.
Yi supported the mana shield and suffered damage from hundreds of demons. After a short fight, the firepower gradually weakened, and the shield’s luster also obviously dimmed.
The [Dark Elf Archer] hiding in the dark found the right moment and pierced the guy’s thigh with an arrow.
It was this arrow that declared a turning point in the battle.
The demon minions poured in frantically, and the four of them were already struggling more and more to deal with it.
When Ji Xun saw this, he knew it was time for him to act.
He didn’t rush to join the battlefield, but quietly disappeared into the darkness.
The two sides must be evenly matched in order to lose both sides.
Now, the demon army clearly has the upper hand.
Ji Xun must ask the demon to wipe out that advantage first.
After observing for so long, he had already determined the location of the dark elf.
quietly sneaked away.
If not.
Not far away, he saw a dark elf holding a longbow on a big tree, concentrating on the battlefield hundreds of meters away.
Suddenly, as if she had seized some good opportunity, the bow in her hand was suddenly drawn into a full moon.
The opportunity was fleeting, and Ji Xun’s incarnation of the werewolf jumped suddenly, climbing tens of meters on the tree trunk in an instant.
The dark elf sensed the danger, but all his strength was on the bow, and it was too late.
As soon as she turned her face, a tall figure had spread her on the tree trunk.
Ji Xun had experience in culling dark elf hunters. This time, she didn’t give her a chance to break up into elements and teleport away. Her claws broke her neck as soon as she grabbed it.
“Kill the C-level disaster ‘Half-Blood Dark Elf Archer’, combat merit +300”
Before the demons could react, Ji Xun quickly restrained the corpse and disappeared into the dense forest again.
On the other side, without the archer’s cold arrow, the battle between the two sides suddenly became balanced again.
Ji Xun also continued to read.
It is just right for him to come forward after one party is killed.
