Probably the Demon Legion did not expect that a human would light a beacon tower and then go to another one.
Ji Xun sneaked at full speed without encountering any obstacles along the way.
The second beacon tower was lit very smoothly.
Then the third, fourth, fifth
Almost exactly as expected.
Ji Xun not only lit up the beacon tower and gained 4,000 combat points, but also gained four additional devil horns and some materials and equipment.
After cleaning up a few places, he also figured out the layout of the demon army.
In each beacon tower, there are about 2-3 disaster-level demon leaders.
One team will always stay at the beacon tower.
The others went to intercept and kill humans.
Because Ji Xun acted decisively, he also ignited five of them smoothly.
However, his idea of lighting a dozen beacon towers was still hopeless.
The fact is that by the time of the sixth building, the demon army had already reacted.
Ji Xun encountered a heavily guarded beacon tower.
There was more than one C-level disaster like [Dark Elf Archer], so he didn't dare to be careless.
Although small groups were drawn out and killed in scattered directions, the sixth beacon tower could still be cleared.
But he didn't do that.
I don’t dare anymore.
Ji Xun also thought of something else.
He estimated the time.
He set up a trap near the sixth beacon tower and hid it.
this time,
It wasn't the devil he wanted to catch.
But people.
After all, once the beacon is lit, almost the entire Sawtooth Forest can see the blue light like a lighthouse.
It's not just demons who take notice.
Humans notice too.
Especially those from the Lionheart family.
Those guys would probably be very surprised, how could anyone among the two hundred cannon fodder hunters recruited be able to light a beacon?
If such a powerful character suddenly appears among the hunters, someone will definitely be sent to check it out.
Moreover, beacon towers are lit in the most recent order, and this rule can also be followed.
If it were Ji Xun himself, it wouldn't be difficult to find the person who lit the beacon.
Experienced hunters all know that guarding against fellow hunters in a different dimension is more important than guarding against monsters.
It was pretty much what Ji Xun expected.
Not long after, five figures appeared in the forest.
They were all covered in cloaks of light-absorbing material.
This is not magic equipment, but technological equipment.
The staff of the Beast Legion had carefully studied all space rules before entering the space.
In order to ensure the safety of Master Ninth, they also made the most adequate preparations within the rules.
The five of them relied on this invisibility cloak to avoid the devil's eyes and quietly traveled through the Sawtooth Forest.
The task they were given was to capture anyone alive if they could, and kill them if they couldn't.
There must be no unexpected factors that could affect the young master's ability to pass the trial.
The five of them are all elite guards in the Beast Legion.
Suddenly, they stopped.
Someone in the team made a gesture.
The remaining four people understood immediately: the target was at ten o'clock, about three hundred meters.
Upon discovering the target, one of them took off his invisibility cloak, and then the whole person disappeared into the air.
This is an assassin-sequence spell card master, the most common scout type in the army.
The assassin goes first.
The remaining four people also quietly marched forward in the standard tactical position of "121".
The Black Knight is in the front, the Combat Medic and the Magician are in the center, and finally a Beastwalker.
There is care from the front and back, and the fragile master is not afraid of being assassinated by assassins.
There was no problem with the five-man tactic originally.
But they had no idea that there was already a pair of eyes waiting in the darkness.
The sneaking assassin walked over quietly.
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. He even climbed a tree without making any sound.
He stepped on the branch, looked at the well-disguised "person" in front of him, and quietly pulled out the dagger.
However, he was completely unaware that there were thin footprints on the shallow layer of developing powder spread on the tree trunk. In the void above his head, a sharp scalpel also showed its cold light.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of daggers piercing the air was heard.
The lurking "person" stuck in the tree trunk.
But almost at the same time, the scalpel in mid-air pierced the assassin's back and then pulled it down sharply.
The leather armor had no defensive effect at all, and the sharp blade of the scalpel cut down instantly.
A twenty-centimeter wound was cut out of the bones and muscles.
Ji Xun suddenly appeared and severely wounded the sneaking assassin with a single blow.
At this moment, he also confirmed his suspicion: the devil horns would really reveal his position!
When Ji Xun found out that the devil's horn could not be put into the storage ring, he had guessed that although it was a good thing, it was also a hidden danger.
This is a rule of space, not the object itself that cannot be contained.
Participants are clearly encouraged to compete against each other.
Ji Xun had been wandering around before, and he wasn't afraid of being followed.
But now it is hidden in the forest. If you carry this thing with you, your position will inevitably be exposed.
Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.
The assassin came to the door accurately, which means that these guys in the Beast Legion have the means to locate the devil's horns!
Ji Xun didn't think that if he was caught by the Lion Heart Legion, there would be room for careful discussion.
Since we have to take action.
Then the enemy must be reduced in number as soon as possible.
Ji Xun thought of this plan to lure the enemy with "devil horns".
It turned out to be as smooth as expected.
Ji Xun severely wounded the attacking assassin with a single blow.
However, he didn't wait for the last strike.
"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 easily penetrated into the hard tree trunk, and then penetrated out.
You know, this kind of tree trunk with a diameter of one or two meters cannot even be penetrated by annihilation bullets.
Great card!
What a tacit cooperation!
These three cards completely separated him from the injured assassin at a safe distance.
The severely injured assassin also knew that he had been plotted against him. He was about to roll over and fall to the ground with his seriously injured body.
Ji Xun was forced by the card to emerge from invisibility and instantly transformed into a werewolf form.
However, he did not want to let the assassin go.
After dodging to the limit, the wolf kicked off the tree trunk with his legs and plunged towards the assassin in mid-air.
The werewolf's explosive speed obviously far exceeded the expectations of this five-person elite team.
After Ji Xun cut the assassin's neck in mid-air, a few cards arrived belatedly.
The body fell to the ground with a "thud".
Ji Xun's werewolf didn't dare to delay at all when it landed on the ground, and suddenly jumped up from the ground.
The moment his feet left the ground, he narrowly avoided a large hand condensed with earth elements that grew rapidly on the ground.
Ji Xun caught it from the corner of his eye, squinted his eyes slightly, and sighed: "Is this the strength of the elite?"
Just from this tacit cooperation, he knew that this was definitely the strongest five-man team he had ever encountered.
The few cards just now, six [Deception Wind Blade] and one [Hand of Elements], were worth hundreds of thousands.
Ordinary hunters would never dare to think of this kind of fighting method.
Fortunately, the assassin was killed quickly, otherwise the trouble would have been even greater.
"Are there only five in total?"
Ji Xunzang sniffed in the darkness.
Now the enemy enters a fighting state and his aura is released.
He could already completely distinguish the smell emanating from the bodies of the four still alive people.
Those four people 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 came closer.
But when they reached about a few dozen meters, they didn't get any closer.
At this time, the guy who was obviously a spell card master suddenly took out an earth-yellow card. As soon as the spell power was poured into it, an earth element puppet condensed out.
Ji Xun secretly looked at the puppet that opened the way, and immediately guessed the intention, and a strange look appeared in his eyes: "Tsk, tsk, you are really cautious."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The earth elemental puppet moved forward and happened to be near the corpse, and detonated several pre-laid booby traps.
With this explosion, the corpse's value 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.
I originally thought that if I could kill one quickly and injure one with the booby trap, or at least destroy the formation, I would be able to take advantage of it.
The plan is now half complete.
Killing the other four is doubly difficult.
But Ji Xun was not in a hurry.
He also has a plan B.
He knew very well that the mission of this team was to find him.
If the mission is not completed, even if they know that there is fatal danger, the four of them will never retreat easily.
The current retreat action is obviously a tactic to lure the enemy.
If Ji Xun catches up, he will definitely fall into the trap they set.
He's not that stupid either.
Ji Xun stopped hiding and stood up boldly.
Wearing a cloak and a gas mask, there is nothing visible.
The four people saw that he didn't chase him, and also knew that the other party was not fooled, so they all showed their fighting posture.
Looking at the costumes, there is an [Ace of Spades - Black Knight], a [3 of Hearts - Combat Doctor], a [8 of Diamonds - Elemental Controller], and a Beast Walker who transformed into a bear.
Ji Xun looked at these guys, whether they were strong or not, but he didn't feel threatened at all.
Because no one can catch up with me.
Instead, he looked at the black bear with a strong aura and took another look.
"Earth Violent Bear" can control the power of the earth element and has very strong defense.
The Black Knight is not easy to kill either.
The two sides faced off like this.
Although Ji Xun felt that he was sure of a solo kill against any of the four people.
But he had no confidence that he could get an advantage from the four people's alliance.
He just looked at the four of them coldly, not panicking at all.
There was no communication between the two parties.
After a few breaths of confrontation.
Suddenly, Ji Xun's lips cracked into an evil smile.
He raised his gun and fired a flare into the forest.
In an instant, the light was blinding.
Ji Xun liked a cold joke from his previous life. When you encounter a tiger in the wild, you don't have to run faster than the tiger. You just need to run faster than your fellow travelers.
He is alone and can come and go as he pleases.
None of the four opponents, including black knights and bullies, could escape.
It's not far from the beacon tower.
Since there is no chance in a head-on encounter, 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 made a decisive decision: "Retreat first!"
But it was too late.
There were rustling sounds in the forest, and it was obvious that the demon army had surrounded them.
Everything has been exposed, how could Ji Xun give these guys a chance to evacuate smoothly?
Just another flare had to be fired.
Now, the demons immediately confirmed their target.
Not just flares, but [dirty bomb cards].
Ji Xun himself suffered several losses, and now he carries a lot with him.
Just a few shots shot over in a swish.
This is not a harmful card. When the smell explodes, it contaminates a large area.
Those four people would inevitably get some of it.
And once you run fast, the stealth suit is useless.
Ji Xun watched the element controller take out a few cards and wash them with the four of them. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, there are also special [Purification Cards]. The equipment is really complete."
It is easy to contaminate, but difficult to clean.
With nearly one hundred thousand cards like this, ordinary hunters cannot afford to consume them.
But there are a lot of [Dirty Bullet Cards] in Ji Xun's card slot.
If you purify, then I will swish and fly around.
He wanted to see how many purification cards the other party had.
Ji Xun didn't chase after the four of them, he just hung on the flank, taking his time.
With his guidance, the demons quickly located the locations of several humans.
Ji Xun ran the fastest, and the demons couldn't catch up with him, so they had to prioritize the four beast legions.
I have to say that these four people are really powerful.
He resisted the pursuit of hundreds of demonic 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 four people in full armor were not as fast as the little devil, and they were surrounded soon after.
The two sides fell into a fierce close combat with fists and fists.
Seeing the monster legion biting the four people, Ji Xun was no longer anxious.
He ran out of the monster circle.
As soon as he put on his cloak, he hid in a big tree and looked lively.
A C-level disaster [Great 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 minions.
Almost all the monsters in the sixth beacon tower are here.
This is a lot of pressure for a team of only four people.
Although they are powerful individually, they are unable to defeat four people with two fists.
The [Fire Demon] looked like a monster coming out of a volcano, with red and shiny magma flowing everywhere.
The Black Knight immediately stopped the monster.
The shield blocked the monster's sword, and the extremely high temperature lava spattered everywhere, and the surrounding trees were instantly charred and burned.
Ji Xun looked at it and marveled: "This monster is so strong."
He was afraid of this demon before, so he didn't dare to attack the beacon tower.
His scalpel had to be close to him to be effective, but how could he get close to this demon with lava flowing all over his body?
If it weren't for the heavily armored black knight, no one else would be able to get close.
Fortunately, someone now gave him a test of the monster's strength.
On the other side, the beast walker who transformed into a violent earth bear was also held back by the giant demon at this moment.
Ji Xun has personally killed this kind of monster.
High defense and high attack.
He can kill alone, but that doesn't mean others can.
There is no relic-level [Plague Doctor Scalpel]. This kind of power is terrifying, and it is difficult for monsters with thick skin and flesh to break through their defenses.
The Beast Legion almost all has standard equipment.
There are advantages and disadvantages.
The lower limit of attributes of standard equipment is high, but the upper limit is low.
No matter how rich the Lionheart family is, it is impossible to equip these first-level guards with relic-level equipment.
The beastwalker still followed the armor and half-flesh style, just like Ji Xun's previous camouflage attire, including half-body armor, shoulder pads, leg guards, and exquisite fighting skills.
The main thing is to be able to withstand beatings at close range and resist.
But compared to that giant demon, the human body is far inferior to the demon no matter what.
Resistance is definitely not a good option.
But if ignored, this monster can hammer two cloth-armored spell card masters into a pulp with just one stick.
The two of them were fighting together in the blink of an eye.
It is difficult to tell the winner in a short period of time.
The only variable among the four is the element controller.
This guy was currently using a rock barrier to protect him and the doctor, while various cards were flying around in the other hand.
I used [Rock Shield Card] for self-protection, [Fire Snake Card], [Lightning Thunder Card], and [Ice Crack Card] for attack, and [Earth Crack Card] to prevent monsters from pursuing.
Just these cards, tens of thousands are gone in a few seconds.
The effect is also very good.
The surrounding demons are also harvesting in patches.
With a large group of monsters, there is no stronger spell card master than this professional sequence.
If it continues like this, if the elemental controller frees up his hands after killing all the mobs, he may be able to turn the tide of the battle around.
However, there is a [Dark Elf Hunter] hidden in the darkness.
Just when the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, a "whoosh" sound came from the wind.
A pitch-black arrow seemed to be shot out of the void.
It wasn't until he appeared a few meters away from the four of them that he was seen by the naked eye.
The element controller also reacted very quickly. He immediately raised his hand to block, and the magic shield was blocked behind the rock shield.
However, the intelligence of dark elves is not at the same level as other demons who only know how to rush without thinking.
The target of this attack was not him, but the doctor!
The arrow with a spiral cyclone accurately passed through the gap in the barrier, cleverly split the shield, and hit the combat doctor who was throwing various potion bottles with one arrow.
"Poof" a sound of flesh and blood piercing was heard.
The arrow pierced the doctor's lower abdomen from an extremely tricky angle, causing blood to spurt instantly.
The doctor quickly performed first aid on himself.
However, the second arrow came again.
The battle was fierce.
Ji Xun also took the opportunity to carefully observe the fighting methods of the four people.
Fortunately, there was a legion of demons to help him test it. Otherwise, if he really had to fight head-on with his own body, he might suffer a big loss.
Facing such a powerful monster, the four members of the team also fought back and forth.
Even if it weren't for the dark elf who shot the cold arrow, they would still be in a position to make a comeback.
In the battle of life and death, one cannot hide his clumsiness, and all kinds of trump cards are revealed.
From this, Ji Xun could also get a glimpse of the individual combat power of the Beast Legion.
He also had an accurate idea of the strength of the 300-man legion that protected Master Kahn.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ji Xun gradually gained some inspiration.
The two sides fought fiercely for a quarter of an hour.
As expected from Plan B,
The fight ended in a lose-lose situation.
The [Fire Demon] was held back by the black knight, and the elemental controller took the opportunity to insert ice spears all over the monster.
And [Giant Demon] also had wounds all over his body.
Especially the knees.
Ji Xun could think of this before, and the Beast Walker also thought of it, and gave his knee a hard hammer.
But Ji Xun was able to survive unharmed because he had a very high agility attribute and could narrowly avoid attacks every time.
Although the earth violent bear transformed by this guy has amazing defense, it is not good at displacement.
In order to prevent the monster from harassing his teammates, he resisted the monster's sticks several times and was beaten away many times, causing him to vomit blood.
The doctor was seriously injured again and had no time to take care of himself.
The four-person team became more and more difficult to fight in the monster siege.
They didn't forget that there was a mysterious man who was coveting him secretly, and they were afraid of him.
But there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.
Ji Xun watched quietly from the dark.
That elemental controller is really powerful.
One person killed hundreds of monsters, looking like he could defeat the demon army.
But human spell power is limited after all, and cards are also limited.
As soon as the mana shield was supported, it withstood the damage from hundreds of demons. After a short time of fighting, the firepower gradually weakened, and the luster of the shield also dimmed significantly.
The [Dark Elf Archer] hiding in the dark found the right moment and pierced this guy's thigh with an arrow.
It was this arrow that announced the turning point in the battle.
The demon minions are pouring in crazily, and the four of them are increasingly struggling to cope.
When Ji Xun saw this, he knew it was his turn to take action.
He did not rush to join the battlefield, but quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Both sides must be evenly matched in order for both sides to suffer losses.
Now, the demon army clearly has the upper hand.
Ji Xun had to ask the devil to erase that advantage first.
After observing for so long, he had already determined the location of the dark elf.
Sneak away quietly.
Sure enough.
They didn't go far when they saw a dark elf holding a long bow on a big tree, concentrating on the battlefield a few hundred meters away.
Suddenly, as if she had caught a good opportunity, the bow in her hand suddenly stretched into a full moon.
The opportunity was fleeting, and the werewolf transformed by Ji Xun jumped suddenly, climbing tens of meters on the tree trunk in an instant.
The dark elf sensed the danger, but it was too late to use all his strength on the bow.
As soon as she turned around, a tall figure had already laid her down on the tree trunk.
Ji Xun had experience in killing dark elf hunters, but this time he didn't give her a chance to break into elements and teleport away. He broke her neck with a claw.
"Kill the C-level disaster 'Hybrid Dark Elf Archer', combat merit +300"
Before the demons could react, Ji Xun quickly gathered the body and disappeared into the dense forest again.
On the other side, without the archer's cold arrows, the battle between the two sides suddenly became balanced again.
Ji Xun also continued to read.
It would be just right for him to show up after one party was killed.
(End of chapter)
