Ji Xun heard from the hunters that the nobles in the upper city were so rich that the salary of a casual guard was tens of thousands a month.
And there are hundreds of thousands of such elite guards in the Governor's Mansion.
You can imagine how wealthy the governor of the Cao family is.
So, the body should be very valuable... right?
Ji Xun walked all the way and saw that there were piles of skeletons in the passage and bone powder was everywhere on the ground.
The skeleton monster is a very special kind of undead monster. As long as its head is not completely shattered, it is still "alive" even if it is chopped in half.
At this moment, among the piles of bones in the corridor, there are many mutilated severed hands and short legs still crawling around.
Ji Xun didn't feel panic at all, and walked over while stepping on his bones.
As he walked, his eyes were carefully searching for something in the pile of bones.
After walking a few corridors, Ji Xun suddenly stopped.
Because his eyes saw a metallic white color among the pile of bones.
That's a Frost Knight armor!
...
"I'm getting rich..."
Ji Xun's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at it.
As he expected, the group of people in the Governor's Mansion were busy running for their lives and had no time to collect the bodies of those killed in battle.
Ji Xun walked over, opened the pile of skeletons, and saw a shriveled corpse.
The corpse was in a very strange state.
It had obviously just died, but it looked like a mummy with all its flesh and blood drained away by some force.
Not even a single extraordinary characteristic remained.
If they hadn't known that the Frost Knight had just come in today, people would have thought that the corpse had been dead for many years.
Ji Xun looked at the traces of the battle around him and frowned: "There are no external injuries. Then the [Secret Keeper]'s attack method is to ignore the physical and demon defense and directly swallow the soul and flesh?"
"Hiss...it seems that this method is impossible to prevent."
He gasped.
The Cao Family's Frost Knight is known for its high-grade armor, which has extremely high resistance to both physical and demon damage and can be hit by bullets without causing any damage.
Ordinary small workshops simply cannot produce such fine armor.
Even for this basic model of a soldier, the reward price on the black market exceeds one million.
But now the armor on the mummy is well preserved, but the body has been drained.
This also proves that the attack method of the secret keeper is not a conventional physical and magical attack, but a mysterious method that is currently incomprehensible.
After Ji Xun checked and confirmed the cause of death of the body, he didn't look at it any more.
After all, he had no intention of confronting an unkillable monster head-on. The method the monster used to kill was too important.
Anyway, you will die if you encounter him.
Instead of dwelling on a difficult situation that cannot be changed, think of something happy.
Ji Xun optimistically took off the storage ring from the corpse's hand and muttered with a hint of anticipation: "Let me see if the guards at the Governor's Mansion are as rich as the legend says..."
After looking at it, I saw that there was half a square meter of space.
Just this space ring is worth a lot of money.
When Ji Xun saw what was in the ring, a hint of surprise appeared on his expression.
Frost Knights are all melee-type professions of the Order Path [6 of Spades - Punishment Iron Guard]. There are basically no messy things in the storage ring, basically all kinds of replenishing medicines.
Neat rows of [Advanced Hemostatic Potion], [Advanced Healing Potion], [Advanced Recovery Potion], [Muscle Recovery Potion], [Endurance Potion]...
This is not the random stuff in the hands of hunters.
These glass bottles also all have sterling silver nameplates "Produced by Alderaan Alchemy and Pharmaceutical Factory".
Potions are hard currency on the market at any time, especially the high-end products produced by these large alchemy factories. The potency is usually stronger and the quality is more stable than those sold on the black market in Innocence City.
The corresponding price is also higher.
Just these potions alone are roughly estimated to cost several hundred thousand.
"Tsk tsk...the guards at the Governor's Mansion are really rich."
Ji Xun sighed in his heart.
These high-end potions are rarely seen on the black market, and they are just right for him.
When exploring caves in the wild, medicine is the second life for hunters.
Looking again, there is a two-handed sword next to the body.
Ji Xun picked it up with great interest and tried it. It was very heavy, about thirty kilograms.
This sword cannot be used by ordinary people at all.
【Frost Great Sword】
Quality: Silver
Detailed explanation: The exquisite knight's sword customized by the forge of Rox Blacksmith Workshop contains rich ice spell power; ice damage +56%, sharpness +3. It comes with the skill [Frost Slash], which infuses magic power to cause slowing and freezing attacks on the target.
"Hiss... so sharp."
Ji Xun looked at the cold light on his toughness and sighed.
It is very rare for a two-handed sword to be so sharp.
And it comes with ice damage, which is no longer the category of ordinary iron weapons, it is already an enchanted weapon.
I guess...it can be sold for a very good price.
The sword is a good thing, but without a strength value above "10", the sword is completely cumbersome to use.
Ji Xun lost interest after trying it for a few times.
He took out two dark silver spell cards from the card slot of the corpse, held the six-pointed star on them and poured the spell power into them.
The blue light blooming from the card covered the big sword.
In the blink of an eye, the big sword was contained in the card and turned into a card with a two-dimensional pattern of a white big sword printed on it.
I have to say that the equipment storage card is not only magical, but also very easy to use.
It's like a special scabbard that can easily put away this cold sword. It requires no maintenance and can keep it sharp at all times.
Easy to carry and easy to take out.
Ji Xun also used cards to put away the armor on the corpse.
He has no use for these things, but there are people who would dare to sell them on the black market.
If you really want to sell everything, you can almost get rich overnight.
It’s enough for Ji Xun’s needs for a long time to come.
He could use the money to buy some high-end firearms, ammunition and mechanical equipment that he had liked but had no money to buy before, and some martial arts books. He could even go to the auction house to see if he could buy some expensive skill training cards.
Trophies of this value are hard to come by.
In normal times, even if it was a fallen Frost Knight, these armors would definitely be recovered by other guards. Where would there be an opportunity for outsiders to pick up the corpses?
That is, in this maze.
Someone happened to be ambushing the Governor's group.
...
"The wealth of the aristocratic class is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people..."
Ji Xun picked up a corpse and was in a good mood.
This frost knight's equipment is a top-notch luxury item that many hunters can't afford in their lifetime.
This is just a guard.
A true noble has wealth that is simply unimaginable.
It is said that the Cao family in Innocence City is only a branch of the Cao family in the Federation. There are still many such middle-class nobles in the Federation.
Ji Xun suppressed the emotions in his heart and carefully followed the corridor to look for it.
Thinking that the reorganization of the Frost Knight Legion in the Governor's Mansion should leave more than one corpse.
Just keep walking and looking for it.
Ji Xun felt that he had carefully avoided almost all passages that he considered dangerous.
But fate often plays tricks on people like a clown, surprising or frightening people.
Before he found the second body, he heard the sound of fighting coming from the end of the corridor again.
Bang, bang, bang...
Ji Xun couldn't help but ask, "Come again?"
But then I thought about it, this road was run by people from the Governor's Mansion before. Theoretically, that group of people shouldn't be back again.
Moreover, the sounds of the battle were not as exaggerated as before.
It should be everyone else who is lucky enough to survive.
I had the impression that there was no better hiding place for a long distance in the corridor behind him. Ji Xun didn't wander around, so he looked for a fork in the same spot and once again chose to lie down and pretend to be dead.
Not long after, I heard a tidal wave of clicking sounds coming from the corridor, getting closer and closer.
The sound of leather boots in the corridor is easily distinguished from that of a skeleton monster.
There weren't many people, there seemed to be only two?
The two people who were chased by the monster were also very smart. They probably had the same idea as Ji Xun. If they ran along the passage that the group of people pushed through in the Governor's Mansion, they would encounter fewer monsters.
Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.
If there were just two of them, they probably wouldn't have offended the [Secret Keeper].
Otherwise he would have died long ago.
He looked over.
...
The two people who ran over in a hurry were both dressed in hunter attire, with gas masks covering their faces, and brown linen cloaks covering their bodies.
But the two of them were running ahead, and the army of skeletons behind them was chasing them more and more.
And it seemed that one of them was seriously injured.
As he ran, he left a trail of blood behind him.
When Ji Xun saw this, he had no idea of meddling in other people's business.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the group of skeletons and saw no trace of the [Secret Keeper], so he calmly pretended to be dead.
At this time, the two of them happened to run to a T-intersection, and the movement attracted another monster from another corridor.
Like rivers converging, the skeleton monsters immediately formed an encirclement posture.
Seeing that he was about to be drowned by the tide of skeletons, one of the marauders shot out a few cards.
Those cards exploded in the air, and several zombies with terrifying faces were channeled.
[Steel Zombie], [Poison Zombie], [Fire Breathing Zombie]...
As soon as a few zombies appeared, the skeletons they faced were dealt a heavy blow. They could be used as human shields, breathe fire, and spit corrosive acid... They looked very powerful.
Then, nothing more.
The skeleton monsters had absolute numerical suppression. Although the individual zombies were very powerful, they were instantly overwhelmed by the skeletons.
Ji Xun looked at it but wondered in his heart: "Mysterious sequence [Diamond 4 - Psychic]?"
This was his first time meeting a spell card master of this sequence.
...
"Psychic" is also a very popular profession among card spellers.
As long as they can find the corresponding demon contract and professional card, many hunters will choose to take this path.
Because this profession is really suitable for wild hunting.
This is a summoner profession.
Not only can zombies be summoned, but all kinds of aberrant monsters, monsters, evil spirits, and even disasters can be channeled.
As long as they can be contained and a psychic contract is signed, theoretically all monsters can become combat partners.
If you have a psychic to explore some dangerous places, you will be much less in danger.
But the shortcoming... is that the body is weak.
The psychic does not have the powerful magic power protection of a pure spellcaster, nor does he have the physical strength of a melee professional.
But the psychic object is powerful enough and has good combat capabilities.
The way to go is to win with quantity.
The upper limit is high.
Ji Xun had thought about this career route before. He was physically fine, and it was good to have a few summons.
Unexpectedly, I happened to see one now, so I took a few more glances.
...
Both of them are not weak, and they seem to be official spell card masters.
He won't die for now, but that won't happen later.
Not to mention that if they keep running like this, there will be more and more skeletons.
The physical exertion alone can consume them alive.
And if you keep running like this, if you encounter a [Secret Keeper], you will probably burp on the spot.
"It's strange. He's not a field agent from Golden Oak, or someone from the Governor's Mansion. Could it be those plunderers from before?"
Ji Xun looked at the two people's outfits and became more curious about their identities.
However, the next moment, the cloak of the man running in front was lifted a little by the strong wind, and a bit of his flowing silver hair suddenly leaked out.
Ji Xun's eyes caught this point keenly, and his expression immediately became very subtle.
He had never seen anyone with silver hair.
If you just felt inexplicably familiar just now, now you are sure that this is an old acquaintance.
Ji Xun was surprised: "Chujiu? Why is she in this maze?"
