Cataclysm King

  Chapter 101 Meteor Eagle Fortress

  The rock walls of Devil Mountain are very steep.

   Does not appear to be naturally occurring.

   It is more like being split in two by some super-cognitive force, forming this almost ninety-degree straight-walled cliff.

  Most places on the rock face do not even have a foothold for mountain antelope, and there is no vegetation, let alone a place to hide.

   Ji Xun changed into a werewolf form, wearing a cloak, grasping in the rock wall with his sharp claws, climbing all the way north.

  He looked at the map before, and the distance from Thunder Fortress to Wind Fortress is about 100 kilometers.

  It doesn’t take too much mana to simply use the werewolf form to go on the road, but even so, Ji Xun stopped and stopped all the way, recovering his mana from time to time.

   Fortunately, the five members of the Beast Legion were killed before and got a lot of recovery potions, which is not too distressing to use for the journey.

   Also, [Relic: Demon Compass] also helped a lot.

   This allowed Ji Xun to avoid too many dangers.

  Some places on the rock wall are completely normal to the naked eye, but the fluctuations in the value of the devil's breath are scary.

   I don’t know if it’s the will of space that doesn’t allow people to take shortcuts, or the demon army already has hidden sentries.

  Although he killed several waves of demons on the way, Ji Xun also relied on this compass to avoid those high-risk areas, and the journey was safe and sound.

   After spending several hours, he saw a war fortress standing on the cliff.

  The white stones are piled up majestic and magnificent.

   This is "Meteor Eagle Fortress".

   This fortress is the northernmost point of the Demon Mountains.

   Further north is the black line marked on the ground strip—the Wailing Abyss.

  Ji Xun looked down at the gigantic gully nearly a kilometer wide and an unknown number of kilometers long in front of him, and thought in his heart: "There are such cracks in the different-dimensional space."

  Although there is no exaggeration of the endless world rift on the edge of Innocence City.

  But the Howling Abyss in front of him is also a huge crack that can't see the end, which is extremely shocking.

  The light in the space is very dim, and the outline can barely be seen with night vision.

   But that crack was as black as ink, as if leading to hell, I don't know how deep it is.

   This is the natural barrier to stop the invasion of the northern demons.

   "Why does this world feel like it was broken into pieces by a god?"

Ji Xun looked at the crack in front of him, and the smooth rock wall of the Devil Mountain before, and a picture always appeared in his mind: two indescribable huge creatures were fighting, and then with some incomprehensible means, the earth It was cracked.

  These fissures are the wounds of the earth.

   And humans are like imperceptible microbes on a wound?

  Every time I see this kind of "giant", it will always give people a kind of shock from the bottom of my heart.

   After a while.

  Ji Xunju observed the Howling Abyss condescendingly, but found nothing special, so he climbed towards the fortress.

   The Meteor Eagle Fortress is brightly lit.

   Ji Xun sneaked into the dark place and walked all the way.

   There were thousands of soldiers stationed in the fortress, and there were people in the arrow tower guard post for those who should patrol and practice.

   Everything looks normal.

   "Strange, nothing happened?"

  Ji Xun looked at the peaceful fortress in front of him, and always felt that something was wrong.

  Thunder Fortress, a key place leading directly to the hinterland of the kingdom, has been invaded by ghosts. It doesn't mean that the front line that has been handing over with the devil's territory all year round is fine, right?

   Thinking of something, Ji Xun took out the [Devil Compass] and tried it.

   This attempt made me even more confused.

  The pointer is spinning around like the magnetic field is in chaos.

   "Broken pointer?"

  Ji Xun looked at the pointer that was running around and frequently showing the fluctuation value of the devil's breath, and his thoughts froze for a moment.

   Looking in the direction of the pointer, I looked around the fortress, but I didn't find any traces of demons.

   Just when he thought that the relic was affected by some special magnetic field because it was too close to the demon territory in the north.

Sudden,

  A group of patrolling soldiers walked past.

  Ji Xun looked at the pointer in his hand, pointing to someone in the patrol team, showing a demonic breath fluctuation number 10 similar to the "big devil".

  Because of the short distance, the pointer keeps pointing at that person.

   "Could it be.?"

  Seeing this, Ji Xun no longer thinks there is a problem with the pointer.

   Instead, they came to another shocking conclusion: this soldier is a demon in disguise!

  The reason why the pointer turns around

   Because the camp is full of demons!

  When Ji Xun thought of this, his eyelids twitched for no reason.

   Sure enough.

   Not without accidents.

   But it has not been discovered for the time being.

  The devil has invaded the fortress by an unknown means.

  I plunged headlong into the monster pile.

   "The situation is worse than expected."

  Ji Xun Duo observed for a while, and then confirmed his thoughts.

   But instead of feeling dangerous, he breathed a sigh of relief.

   Without these demons, he still doesn't know how to trigger difficult plots.

   It is now confirmed that demons have invaded the fortress, but not completely captured.

   This is obviously an excellent entry point for adventurers to choose from the different-dimensional space.

  Ji Xun is sure that there must be key points in this fortress that can dig out the difficult plot!

  Thinking of this, he continued to sneak around the camp.

  He observed all the way in the fortress, and found that the soldiers in some key positions basically had demonic aura fluctuations.

  Like the operator of the gondola elevator, the guard of the arrow tower or something.

   After a rough estimate, about one-fifth of the soldiers were invaded by demons.

   "Skin changing, or some mysterious means of control?"

  Ji Xun was thinking as he walked, and he didn't dare to be careless. The clown mask was already on his face.

  Walking and walking, he suddenly came to the Military Supply Office.

   There are already nearly 10,000 military achievements on the military achievement card.

  Before I was planning to save some money, and exchange it for better things when I leave the space.

  From the current situation, the War Fortress has become a stronghold of demons, and the most urgent thing is to exchange some prizes to improve the combat power.

   Ji Xun thought of something, took off his cloak, and walked in directly.

  Probably felt that there was no need for a logistics department like the Military Quartermaster to invade. The few soldiers here are normal humans.

  There is also a merit exchange screen here.

  Ji Xun took out his merit card and four devil horns, and said directly: "Master Captain, I am a scout scout sent by Kingdom Zeng. After completing some investigation tasks, I want to exchange for combat merit items."

  The things that were originally exchanged for military exploits are definitely not what the hunters saw.

   But this is a patch made by the will of the different-dimensional space.

   Adventurers are encouraged to kill monsters to exchange for favorite prizes.

  Ji Xun is not afraid of revealing anything.

  The quartermaster inspected the military merit card, and only said that he had a lot of military achievements, so he didn't ask any further questions: "What do you want to exchange for?"

  9000 combat exploits + four demons = [Kagura-style Furubu fighting skills (Silver)]

   If you want to improve your combat effectiveness as soon as possible, there is nothing more suitable than skill cards.

  Ji Xun had already considered it before, waved the name of the martial arts in the catalog, and said: "Please help me exchange this fighting cheat book."

   Quartermaster: "Good!"

  With all his achievements in combat, Ji Xun got a book of fighting cheats full of moves.

  It is perfectly fine for him to practice this kind of cheats by himself.

  The moves that are explained intensively are very detailed. After a few years of hard training, one can master the fighting skills of this ancient fighting genre.

   But Ji Xun obviously doesn't have that much time.

  He saw the enlightenment prompt under the cheat: "It can be downgraded and replaced with 'Technique·Advanced Fighting Specialization'"

   "Sure enough."

   Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

   This is still some cold knowledge of different-dimensional spaces he saw in the Card Master Encyclopedia.

  Fighting specialization belongs to the basic skills. In the final analysis, it is all kinds of basic skills such as kicking, hitting, throwing, and holding.

  Although there are different fighting genres, after the cheats are downgraded, there is a high probability that they will be "advanced fighting specialization".

  He urgently needs to improve some practical combat abilities that can save his life, although downgrading the silver cheats to black iron skill cards is a bit wasteful.

   But skill cards are what he needs now.

  Because the silver boxing skill [Technique·Level 2 Collapse] that he gained in the Greedy Mine before, the learning threshold is advanced fighting specialization.

  Before, I couldn’t find a way to buy skill cards outside.

   Originally wanted to accumulate proficiency by fighting.

  But it's too late now.

   Once the two cards are used, there will be an additional display on the panel [two extreme collapse Lv0 (1/200)].

  Ji tried out the newly mastered skills, feeling very mysterious.

  The mantra surges in the meridians and gathers on the fist, which will condense a special energy. When a punch hits the floor tiles, the strength can not hurt the floor tiles, but directly penetrates the force downwards, directly smashing the soil layer under the floor tiles.

  The greater the power, the more spell power poured in, the greater the damage, and the thicker the obstacles that can be penetrated.

  After Ji Xun tried it, he immediately became more confident: "This skill is amazing."

  Although [Second Skill Collapse] has a certain energy storage time, it consumes a lot of mana.

  But after learning this secret level silver boxing technique, it can be regarded as another real killer.

  It was like facing a thick-skinned and thick-skinned monster like the Giant Demon before. Except for the relic scalpel, he really couldn't do anything.

   Now there is.

   This punch can completely penetrate the skin and directly injure the internal organs, causing "real damage".

  Although the skill proficiency is currently not enough to kill a D-level disaster with one punch.

  But with a few more punches, the monster can always be killed.

  His super high agility and physical attributes paired with this skill, is like a good sword with a sharp edge, and the attributes burst out all at once.

   There are also heavy armor card masters like black knights, and now they finally have deadly means.

   As for the miscellaneous advanced fighting specialization in his mind, Ji Xun didn't care.

  Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced specialization, he advanced three times, using three different types of skill cards.

  He now feels like he knows a little about all fighting skills, miscellaneous but not perfect.

   But it’s good that it works for now.

  He has a high level of comprehension, and his mastery of skills is also very exaggerated.

   After more actual combat, these skills will gradually be integrated into muscle memory and gradually become his own.

  Strength is indeed confidence.

  Ji Xunhua spent all his combat achievements and digested two fighting skill cards at once, and his melee combat power increased by several percent to the naked eye.

   Walking in the fortress, I no longer have to be as cautious as before.

  Alien-dimensional space is a special world almost identical to the real world.

  Everything here has a complete causal logic line.

   Observe carefully, and you can always see some clues.

  Since he guessed that the plot could be triggered in this fortress, Ji Xun wandered around in the fortress.

   Sure enough, it didn't take long.

  Ji Xun heard the news from a few chatting soldiers.

   "I don't know what happened to the Commander recently. He used to be the first to come out for morning exercises every morning. Now he not only sleeps until noon, but also doesn't care about everyone's exercises."

   "Hey, doesn't this make us feel better? It's not strange. I also heard that the commander went to patrol near the Wailing Abyss before. He encountered a demon and fought a battle. It's normal to be injured and recuperate."

   "Hey, Master Ronan, the deputy commander, didn't know what military discipline he violated. He was locked in a dungeon by the commander. He is obviously a good person."

  “.”

  Ji Xun heard these gossips and immediately knew that this might be the key to the plot.

  [Devil Compass] has a range of use. Only at a short distance of about three or two hundred meters can it clearly point to the direction of the devil.

  Because he was afraid of being discovered and exposed, he didn't dare to approach the command post, where there are obviously second-tier powerhouses.

   Looking at it now, the problem is very big.

  Ji Xuncai cautiously approached the commander's barracks.

   Sure enough, the compass turned wildly.

  He looked at the exaggerated demon power fluctuation value displayed on the pointer, and was surprised for a moment: "A second-order disaster-level demon? Even the one that is very strong in the second-order?"

   This is the strongest one I have ever seen.

  It is more than ten times stronger than the previous first-order C-level disaster.

   "Interesting. The commanders of the fortress are demons, and the Meteor Eagle Fortress has actually fallen."

  Ji Xun thought of this, and suddenly changed his mind.

  Since the commander is a demon, from another perspective, the deputy commander Ronan who was locked in the dungeon should be a human?

  Ji Xun immediately realized that this was the key to breaking the situation left by the space will for adventurers.

   Tier 2 demons are not something he can consider now.

  Ji Xun didn't delay, and found the dungeon directly.

  The dungeons in the fortress usually hold some soldiers who violated military discipline, probably like a confinement room.

   Just going down a hundred meters in the rock cracks, there are several cells with water seepage on the walls around them.

  The surrounding light is very dim, which is very suitable for sneaking.

  Ji Xun didn't take two steps, and the pointer on the compass spun again.

   "First-order C-level disaster."

  He looked at the fluctuation value on the pointer, and knew that there was a demon with excellent stealth ability hidden in the darkness.

   I have to admit, this relic compass is really easy to use.

   Without this thing, if you sneak in rashly, you will really get a knife.

  Since there are demons hiding, there may be some early warning traps.

  Ji Xun didn't expect to go in without being found.

   Only a quick fix.

  As soon as the mantra was poured into his body, Ji Xun's body swelled in an instant, turning into the body of a werewolf.

  The supernatural perception of the ancestral werewolf is fully reflected at this moment.

   Not only can you see everything in the dark clearly.

  He sniffed the air carefully again.

   It was very clear that in addition to the smell of wet rocks in the dungeon, there was also the smell of a human being and a demon.

  With the direction pointed by the compass, Ji Xun even pinpointed the source of the smell.

  In the human sense of smell, the devil smells like carrion.

   But in the werewolf's sense of smell, there are all kinds of different breaths.

   "Is it still the kind of mixed blood dark elf?"

  Ji Xun had killed two dark elves before, and the smell of this kind of demon was much better than that of carrion like other demons.

   And he is good at stealth, which is the only one at present.

   After identifying the type of demon, many methods can be used to predict in advance.

  Although dark elves are the darlings of darkness, they are not good at perception.

   The enemy obviously didn't realize that he had been spotted.

  Ji Xun guessed that there must be a trap on the stone steps, and he didn't intend to follow the normal path.

   suddenly burst into flames.

   As soon as the leg muscles swelled, the werewolf body jumped onto the rock wall, and the sharp claws climbed on the wall like walking on flat ground.

   Within a few breaths, he advanced a hundred meters.

  A black shadow flashed across the rock wall, and the demon hiding in the dark suddenly found something abnormal.

   But it was too late.

  When I saw it, the black shadow had already appeared in front of my eyes.

  Just as she realized she was about to escape, her figure suddenly collapsed.

   "Is it teleportation again?"

  Ji Xun has already met him once, so it's not surprising.

  The smell has clearly exposed the location of the dark elf.

  He kicked his legs on the rock wall, and changed direction suddenly, like a hungry wolf pounced on a panicked and fleeing rabbit, and spread the dark elf on the rock wall.

  He didn't give the demon time to react at all, and broke his neck with his claws as soon as he grabbed it.

   "Kill the C-level disaster 'Half-Blood Dark Elf Hunter', combat merit +300"

  After the fighting skills have become advanced specialization, it is much easier to kill this crispy calamity than before.

  Although there was not much movement in the instant kill.

  But he couldn't guarantee whether the lurking demons in the fortress above had been alarmed.

  Ji Xun killed the dark elf and quickly disposed of the corpse.

   And the tightly bound magician in the cell also saw this scene clearly.
