Two days passed in a flash.
The assassination of Young Master Kahn became more and more serious, and the hunters in the Thunder Fortress camp became more and more dissatisfied.
Now the hunters can't go back, and those hunters who came back from the ruins are also piled up in the camp, and there are more and more people.
It's not just the hunters who are trapped, but some special guys too.
In the small building of Caiyun Chamber of Commerce in the camp.
A mysterious woman with a black veil on her face was standing in front of the window, looking at the crowded camp in front of her, her silver pupils like the moon shining brightly.
And behind her, there was a hunchbacked old man with a lifeless look all over his body.
Looking at the people of the Lionheart family who were still hunting in the distance, the silver-eyed woman murmured to herself: "What a pity. It's rare for such a high-ranking noble to come to Innocence City. Originally, I wanted to use that young master Kahn to get close to Lionheart. The senior members of the family didn’t expect that they were killed just as they disguised their identities.”
Hearing this, the hunchbacked old man responded with a hoarse voice: "More and more nobles have come to Innocence City recently, and there may not be no opportunities in the future."
After a pause, he added: "The guys from Bureau "
Silver-eyed woman: "Then just kill them together. It happened that the last seal relic has been found, and the restrictions on the four-pillar seal have been basically lifted. It doesn't matter if it is exposed now. The Weeping Angel still needs some soul nourishment, so he put it in the camp Let's sacrifice these people. If we start now, those people from the 'Thirteen Kamen Riders' can also help us attract the attention of the federal high-level officials."
The hunchbacked old man: "Yeah."
Ji Xun walked leisurely on the streets of the camp.
In addition to practicing and studying in the tent every day, he would also go out for a walk in the evening when the tavern was most crowded, inquiring about news.
The tavern is still the most crowded and lively place in the camp.
Ji Xun squeezed into the Hunter Tavern just like he did two days ago.
Then I sat down at the corner of the bar and ordered a beer.
No new supply has been delivered in the past two days, and the price of beer has increased almost tenfold.
This is no longer a luxury material that ordinary hunters can afford.
Ji Xun was sitting on the bar, drinking wine and listening to the news as usual.
What the hunters talked about the most was mostly the old news about Kahn's assassination the day before yesterday, mixed with all kinds of gossip that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Ji Xun listened for a long time, and the only thing he found reliable was that it was said that people from the federal military would arrive tomorrow.
I heard that an important figure from the Lionheart family will also come.
Hunters are mostly pessimistic and resistant to this news.
After all, these high-ranking nobles are not friendly to the people at the bottom.
In the past, Young Master Kahn killed hundreds of people for no reason just to find an assassin.
No one knows what will happen when the Lionheart family comes.
But there is nothing we can do.
For most hunters, their current situation is like a shipwreck stranded on an isolated island. If you really want to blindly rush into the unexplored old continent, it is like setting up a raft to go into the sea. The risk is much greater than staying in the camp.
There is also some information on land reclamation.
A group of hunters discovered several new extra-dimensional spaces deep in the ruins that no one has come out alive yet.
Some people speculate that it may be a new war mode space.
The news is plentiful and mixed.
Ji Xun just drank sip after sip.
Sit for nearly an hour.
After listening and listening, he originally wanted to leave after not hearing any more valuable information.
But at this moment, three people suddenly walked in at the door of the tavern.
The leader was a sturdy middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket, followed by two young men, a man and a woman.
All three of them covered their faces with kerchiefs, and the two behind them covered their bodies with deerskin cloaks.
Looking at these three people, Ji Xun always felt that they looked familiar inexplicably.
Although these three people are also dressed in hunter attire, their temperament does not look like low-level hunters.
The three of them also walked towards the bar.
The man in the jacket waved to the bartender and said, "Three glasses of beer."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Ji Xun heard the rough voice immediately and was greatly surprised: "Those three guys from Bureau X?"
At this moment, he finally knew where that familiar feeling came from.
Aren't these the three people who came after "Epidemic Doctor" Heisen when Innocence City wiped out the Silver Moon Sect's stronghold?
He remembers the name "Xie Guozhong" in the leather jacket?
The impression is pretty good.
After all, I was able to successfully get the scalpel that time, thanks to this guy keeping his promise.
But why did they come to the ruins of Thunder Fortress?
Such well-established official investigators don't have to risk their lives hunting wild lands to make a living.
In an instant, Ji Xun thought of something else and thought to himself, "They are not coming after people from the Silver Moon Sect, are they?"
Then my thoughts changed, the possibility was really not small.
That was last time.
It's 80% the same this time.
Moreover, Ji Xun also guessed that people from the Silver Moon Sect might actually come to this ruins.
In the previous "Battle of Outpost" extradimensional space, the demon camp believed that the god was Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Joy".
This is the old god believed in by the Silver Moon Sect!
Ji Xun personally went to see the altars, statues, etc. The ancient inheritance in that space was much more complete than the current half-baked Silver Moon Sect.
If the people of the Silver Moon Sect know this situation, it is very likely that they will come to those ancient inheritances.
And maybe it’s not just in that one dimension.
Ji Xun thought about this and his expression was slightly strange: "Hiss, it's not like there are really people from the Silver Moon Sect looking for the inheritance of the old gods, and then these three people from the X Bureau came after them, right?"
It seems that I really have some conflicts with this old-time sect.
You can encounter them there.
However, he didn't think much about it.
As soon as Xie Guozhong sat down, the drinker next to him tried to sneak away.
The mushroom-headed and short-haired girl at the back stood there and skillfully stopped the guy.
Xie Guozhong chuckled and said calmly: "Old man Xu, long time no see."
The sneaky guy shook his head repeatedly and wanted to run away, "No, no. You have the wrong person."
Hearing this, Xie Guozhong muttered to himself: "You guys have forgotten me again."
As he said that, he smiled and said: "Don't worry. We are not from the Lionheart family. We are Bureau X and want to ask you a few questions."
At this time, the man dared to raise his head and look at the three of them: "Huh?"
Although the conversation over there was not loud, Ji Xun could still hear it clearly.
“What a coincidence”
The guy who was stopped when Ji Xun was stuck turned out to be an acquaintance.
It was the "Dog King" Old Man Xu who we went to form a team with in the extra-dimensional space.
what a small world.
Oh, no.
The campground is small.
There are only two pubs, and this guy is an old drunkard, so the probability of encountering him is quite high.
Ji Xun had noticed this guy before.
He was shy about drinking, and complained that the wine was too expensive. He looked like his flesh hurt when he took one sip, which was a bit funny.
But there were also many people who thought strangely about Hunter Qi, so Ji Xun didn't pay much attention.
I didn't expect him to be an acquaintance.
“I actually survived.”
Ji Xun recognized Old Man Xu and felt emotional.
The King of Dogs truly deserves to be the King of Dogs, and it is his true ability that makes him survive.
But then I thought about it, if it weren't for the "crotch avoidance method" that the old man said, Ji Xun would really not be able to avoid those ghosts and monsters in space.
It seems to be a bit affectionate.
Moreover, he had been drinking for so long and was not recognized by himself.
There's really something to this old man's disguise.
Ji Xun thought of something and narrowed his eyes slightly.
However, the subsequent dialogue cannot be heard.
"Using soundproofing?"
Ji Xun also frowned slightly.
The more mysterious these guys made it, the more he thought something might be going on.
Then he took another glance out of the corner of his eye curiously.
For Ji Xun, who has a photographic memory, lip reading is not a difficult skill.
Even if you can't hear, lip reading can help you understand what they are talking about in bits and pieces.
"Old man, I know you are well-informed, and we want to inquire about something."
"Ah, I don't know anything. Did you find the wrong person?"
"I know that you are proficient in some secret arts. Have you noticed anything unusual about Caiyun Shop?"
"Oh, those secret skills were all just blown away by me after I drank too much. You three big shots don't really believe it, do you?"
"It's not in vain. Give me money."
"Brother, just say what you want to know."
"."
Xie Guozhong seems to know Mr. Xu.
But Old Man Xu didn't seem to recognize him.
Ji Xun Ji Xun felt strange.
But these are not the things that need attention right now.
When he read the information, the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Since everyone from Bureau X has found their way here, there must be some clues.
In this current situation, are there really Silver Moon cultists in the camp?
To be honest, even if he knew that people from the Lion Heart family were coming, Ji Xun didn't feel much sense of crisis.
After all, there is a lot of information and many things can be predicted.
But the Old Believers were different.
These people only gave him two words - evil!
I originally wanted to take a few more glances and hear what else they talked about.
Unexpectedly, Xie Guozhong seemed to be aware of it. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly and he raised his eyes.
Ji Xun observed these details and quickly restrained his eyes, thinking: "What a strong perception."
Xie Guozhong and the others seemed not to be interested in paying attention to others, and continued to ask questions, their expressions becoming more and more serious.
It will be noticed if you look further.
Ji Xun didn't plan to stay in the tavern any longer.
Meeting these people, Ji Xun suddenly smelled a hint of crisis.
He wanted to leave as soon as possible.
At least, stay away from Xie Guozhong and the others.
However, the change came very suddenly.
Just when Ji Xun got up and was about to leave.
Something unexpected happened.
The butterfly door opened, and a hunchbacked old man slowly walked into the tavern carrying a black cross as tall as a person.
This figure looked like he had crawled out of a grave, with a strong aura of death exuding from his whole body.
The cross kept dragging on the wooden board, making a scraping sound from time to time.
It was this voice that sent hair down people's spines, making the entire tavern seem to have pressed the mute button.
The originally bustling tavern suddenly became silent.
because,
As soon as the hunchbacked old man came in.
Everyone felt the feeling of being watched by the God of Death, like falling into an ice cave.
And next to my ears, I could still clearly hear the ancient and profound sacrificial words chanted by the hunchbacked weirdo.
"Rejoice in the love of pain, rejoice in the spilling of blood
Wandering among the shadows of graveyards
Thirst for blood, gives mortals fear
Joy, Dreams, Thousand-Faced Moon
Gaze with joy at the sacrifices of your devout followers
"
Even when this person entered the tavern, he had just finished reciting the spell.
It was as if some magical ritual had begun.
When Ji Xun heard the curse that sounded like a devil's whisper, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The clown mask was instantly put on his face.
Looking at the cross with dark golden blood, his pupils shrank suddenly: "Not good!"
[Relic·Light and Dark Cross]
Detailed explanation: Level III ancient relic; sacred +9, curse +9; binds the target and can seal the soul fluctuations that are no higher than the legal level of the relic itself; this is a torture instrument that imprisoned the soul of an indescribable existence in ancient times. It is the most important thing in the world. There are rare sealed artifacts that are both good and evil; they are soaked in divine blood and have strong light and dark pollution properties;
The properties of this cross come from the same source as the [Holy Nail of Light and Darkness] in his hand, and even the enlightened content is almost exactly the same.
After one glance, Ji Xun was sure that the weird man carrying a cross in front of him was a believer of the Silver Moon Sect!
Thinking about it this way, and looking at that iconic hunchback, isn't he the wanted senior deacon of the Silver Moon Sect, Old Man Duan?
Looking at this posture, it is obvious that the person who came here is evil.
And the hostility was not directed at him, but at Xie Guozhong and the others!
Dare to come in so arrogantly carrying a cross, this guy is obviously determined to kill.
And he is sure of being killed!
In a battle of this level, it would not be good to be affected.
Ji Xun will not wait for the other party to make a move.
Almost as soon as he put on the mask, he stepped on the stool and rushed out toward the back door without caring what others thought.
As soon as he ran away, the people in the tavern were stunned for a few breaths, and then they also realized and scrambled to escape from the tavern.
In the blink of an eye, the tavern, which was packed just now, was already filled with people.
But there were still some people who didn't understand the situation and watched the excitement from a distance.
Naturally, Xie Guozhong and the others had discovered it a long time ago.
But there was no fear in their eyes and they sat there steadily.
Since it was them who found it.
Of course they won't retreat.
On the contrary, I felt that it was just right and saved me the trouble of finding those people.
There was just a hint of doubt in his eyes.
These guys from the Silver Moon Sect no longer hide, how dare they show up in front of them?
The hunchbacked weirdo didn't pay attention to anyone else. There was only an evil and cold smile on his old face.
A black nine-pointed star formation has appeared under his feet. The chant has been completed, and he finally shouted softly: "Necromantic Technique·Disaster of the Undead!"
In an instant, it was as if the gate to hell had been opened, and the death energy burst out from the nine-pointed star formation under his feet.
Seeing this, the expressions of Xie Guozhong and the other three people not far away changed suddenly.
Ji Xun jumped out of the back door of the tavern without looking back, wanting to stay away from the battlefield.
His original plan was to go outside the camp first and see the situation from a distance.
However, he still underestimated the ruthlessness of those in the Silver Moon Sect.
Almost the moment he jumped out of the tavern, a bright white moon appeared in the sky.
Then the entire camp ground lit up with black magic runes, and an unknown-wide necromantic barrier instantly covered the entire camp.
Everywhere he looked was filled with a gray air of death.
Seeing this scene, he immediately knew that he wanted to be simple.
The hunchbacked old man just now was not just targeting Xie Guozhong and the others.
But everyone in the entire camp!
Ji Xun quickly ran to the entrance of the camp and took a look, his expression changed.
The wilderness where the outline of the mountain could still be clearly seen was now completely dark, and the shadows of some huge monsters could still be vaguely seen.
He had a bad premonition in his heart: "Those guys are not going to do some evil ritual and sacrifice the entire camp, are they?"
His intuition told him that it was very likely.
But now Ji Xun is in a dilemma. Leaving the camp is definitely not a good choice, and not going out doesn't look good either.
Others in the camp haven't understood what happened, and everyone is watching the moon phenomenon in the sky on the street.
But at this time, the dog king, Old Man Xu, ran over with a strange cry: "Second boy, come out quickly and run~ It's over, it's over, it's over."
Hearing the shout, a young man with a thin sword on his waist rushed out from the tent not far away.
Before Ji Xun could figure out what happened, something strange happened again!
Looking up, a terrifying spiral black hole suddenly appeared in the sky over the camp.
"You're not going to summon the Bone Dragon again, are you?"
Ji Xun's eyelids twitched as he watched.
He had seen this psychic technique before.
In Innocence City, this happened once when the Silver Moon Sect went to the auction house to rob the "Moon".
But that time was in Innocence City, where there were many masters.
The Silver Moon Sect was beaten like rats crossing the street.
But right now, this is a wild camp in the Old World!
Except for Xie Guozhong's three people whose strength was unknown, he didn't think anyone else had the ability to solve this trouble.
However, Ji Xun still underestimated.
These guys are not trying to summon some bone dragons, but more terrifying existences.
The moment the black hole appeared in the sky, an indescribable aura suddenly descended, overwhelming the entire camp.
Ji Xun was no longer unfamiliar with this feeling, and thought to himself: "Higher creatures?"
When I met the Red Baron in space before, he was also under such pressure.
However, this time the pressure was even more intense!
Looking again, a lifeless figure slowly emerged from the black hole.
However, when Ji Xun could clearly see the pair of huge wings spread out on the back of the figure, his pupils kept trembling and he murmured to himself: "No way."
This time it was not the Bone Dragon that was summoned.
But something more terrifying.
In that black hole, an angel slowly appeared!
An angel with a bandage covering his face, gray wings on his back, and a deathly aura all over his body, but the deathly aura also exudes holy light!
Ji Xun watched as his eyelids twitched: "This kind of existence can also be psychic?"
Those guys from the Silver Moon Sect just spend all day messing around with things from the underworld.
Is it necessary to bring out this mythical existence?
