Electromagnetic Tyrant

Ji Xinghuo returned to the first-level urban area, but did not leave the city immediately.

Golukak of Fomalhaut can fly briefly, has strong hearing and vision, and is good at reconnaissance. The Dagon people have also formed flying patrols, so it is not conducive to hiding during the day. Bounty hunters are almost always out at night, and at dawn Return to the fortress.

He followed several bounty hunters to a large hotel, which was one of the largest gathering points for bounty hunters in the Midpoint Fortress.

The hotel lobby is large and divided into a restaurant and bar.

The bounty hunters were sitting in twos and threes at the table or drinking wine at the bar, exchanging information with each other. It was quite lively.

When Ji Xinghuo came in, he attracted a few looks.

However, most people glanced at him and turned their heads. Some people whispered: "There is a newbie."

"Looks like he has some skills."

"Who dares to become a bounty hunter?" The person next to him replied, suddenly laughing: "Should we make a bet on how many days he can live?"

"Three days."

"Ten days."

"I bet 50,000 Asian dollars that he can live until next month."

They didn't lower their voices intentionally, and Ji Xinghuo, who was still at the door, heard clearly, but he didn't mind being used for bets. He walked to the bar calmly, and the waiter asked: "Do you want to stay in a hotel, eat, or... have a drink?"

"Bring me a glass of cold beer first." Ji Xinghuo took out the banknote and handed it over.

The bartender quickly pushed a full glass of wine in front of him, and Ji Xinghuo picked it up and took a sip, listening to the discussion in the lobby.

The topic of bounty hunters is inseparable from three elements, bonuses, points and prey.

Ji Xinghuo called the waiter, "Do you sell defense plans here?"

"Of course." The waiter was not surprised, "But there is only a map of the defense line for the Fomalhaut clan. It is updated every ten days. The information may not be accurate. It costs two thousand Asian dollars. Do you want it?"

"Give me one."

Ji Xinghuo paid, and the waiter immediately brought a beautiful map.

He spread it out and looked carefully.

This map includes about fifty kilometers of military defense lines around the midpoint fortress. Only public military buildings are marked on the earth side.

The Fomalhaut Division defense line on the opposite side is very detailed, including the locations of various fortresses, sentry towers, and bunker barracks, the defensive facilities, the number of residents, the surrounding terrain, the route and alternation time of patrols, underground passages, etc. Extremely detailed.

Ji Xinghuo looked at it very carefully and almost memorized the contents on the map for more than an hour.

Then left the hotel.

Seeing that it was still early, he walked around the Midpoint Fortress twice and purchased a batch of arrows, mainly titanium-aluminum alloy arrows, and also added some capacitor arrows and explosive arrows.

The weapons store at Midpoint Fortress sells items that are geared towards stealth and survival.

Ji Xinghuo also saw a stealth ring, which was exactly the same as the one on his hand and sold for 13 million!

However, the effect of the stealth ring is completely worthy of its price.

"So it's so expensive."

There are many bounty hunters lingering in front of the stealth ring, and they are very greedy for this super ring.

"Silent Arrow?"

Ji Xinghuo saw a special arrow that he had never seen before in a bow and arrow shop. He immediately became interested and went in to inquire.

A moment later, he walked out of the store with fifty more silent arrows in the quiver on his back.

This kind of arrow is made of a sound-absorbing material. After being shot, the arrow will absorb the sound waves generated by friction with the air, forming a silent arrow, which is very convenient for long-range assassinations. Moreover, after hitting the target, the sound-absorbing effect will also act on the target, making no sound and falling to the ground silently.

However, the material of silent arrows is worse than alloy arrows, and their hardness and toughness are slightly inferior, so their lethality is lower than alloy arrows.

Moreover, if the target is hit hard, the arrow will be damaged and it will be basically impossible to recover it.

This makes Silent Arrow a disposable arrow.

Each one costs 15,000 Asian dollars, which is more expensive than a capacitor arrow. It can only be used once, so not many people buy it.

Ji Xinghuo is currently not short of money, so he will buy fifty bottles to try out.

If the silent arrows were very effective, he wouldn't mind buying more in the future as his regular means.

After purchasing arrows and other useful materials and tools, Ji Xinghuo found a hotel and took a room to sleep. When he woke up, the sky was getting dark and the starry night was about to fall. He left the hotel and walked towards the city gate of the first-level city. When he arrived, there were already thousands of bounty hunters waiting here.

Although there were many people, it was quiet under the high city.

Everyone was fully armed, their expressions were serious and silent, and they were not in the mood to talk to others.

Every time you go out to hunt enemies, you are betting on your own life. No one knows whether you can come back. Maybe this is the last hunt.

Ji Xinghuo saw a few familiar figures, whom he had met at the hotel at noon.

He also saw "Red Devil" Alex.

"Open the door!"

When the last ray of golden light disappeared in the sky, stars appeared in the sky, and the reflection of the Milky Way gradually emerged. The city gate guards shouted loudly, and the steam boiler worked to pull the chain, pulling up the alloy city gates that were more than two meters thick. .

The bounty hunters filed out and dispersed in different directions.

One by one the figures disappeared from sight.

After Ji Xinghuo separated from the crowd, he activated his stealth ring, covered his figure, and headed northeast.

When he climbed over a low mountain ridge, he saw a bare surface with undulating terrain. The forests had been cut down, and the vegetation had all been destroyed, exposing rocks and soil. Until the end of the field of vision, no trace of green could be seen.

There was a five-kilometer buffer zone between Earth and Fomalhaut's defenses.

Countless battles have taken place in the buffer zone. It looks peaceful on the surface, but underground there are countless trenches, traps and secret passages, which are intricate and criss-crossed, like a huge maze. The combined length is enough to circle the earth several times.

There will be ambushes on both sides.

Just crossing the buffer zone is very dangerous.

Ji Xinghuo saw a bright light from a distance. It was Fomalhaut's "Fortress of Victory", facing away from the midpoint fortress here.

At this moment, many killers and assassins from the Fomalhaut clan also left the fortress, preparing to cross the defense line and sneak into human territory.

Ji Xinghuo did not step into the buffer zone, but continued walking northeast along the defense line.

It wasn't until more than 20 kilometers away that he entered an underground passage.

The entrance to this secret passage was very hidden and was marked on the map he bought at the bar. When Ji Xinghuo arrived, he saw several bounty hunters.

He deliberately kept a distance from others and waited for them to enter before following them.

The secret passage is winding and winding, with many forks along the way.

If it is your first time here, you will easily get lost. You may wander in a dark passage all night without being able to get out, or you may even encounter enemies.

However, Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field induction was swept away and he easily found the right path.

Coming out of the other end of the dark passage, you have already passed through the buffer zone.

The bounty hunters separated, some were alone, and some were in teams of two or three. Ji Xinghuo did not disturb them and moved forward in the direction he chose.

Under the starry night, a transparent figure moved quickly without making a sound.

Stealth state consumes star power.

Ji Xinghuo is turned on almost all the time, and his ether affinity gives him an extremely fast star power recovery speed, which can offset the consumption of the stealth ring.

Shortly after.

He saw a guard tower for Fomalhaut.

Two or three kilometers away, Ji Xinghuo's Vientiane Star Eye Observation Tower seemed to be very close at hand.

The Fomalhaut tribe is completely ruled by the Dagon people, and their architectural style is also completely dominated by the Dagon people. There are three layers of high circular walls on the ground and inside, with a cylindrical tower in the middle, more than 20 meters high, and a superstructure Expanding outward, like a big mushroom.

At the foot of the guard tower is the military camp. Judging from the size, the number of people should be between one hundred and two hundred.

And the commander must be a fourth-level master.

Ji Xinghuo didn't want to attack this sentry tower. He couldn't beat it even if he wanted to, so he avoided it from a distance and continued to go deep behind Beiluo Shimen's defense line.

He marched continuously for more than 20 kilometers. Along the way, the magnetic field induction detected many sentry towers, as well as hidden sentries, bunkers, and military camps. They were large and small in size. They were very densely arranged and occupied favorable terrain to form a strict defense system.

This kind of military building cannot be captured by one person.

Ji Xinghuo has not listed them as his targets for the time being. His target is the patrol.

It had been more than three hours since entering the starry night, and Ji Xinghuo finally arrived at the predetermined area, but he did not rush to do it. Instead, he spent more than two hours checking out the terrain, defenses, and roads in this mountainous area, and corrected the map. mistake.

Then he began to wait patiently.

Like a professional hunter, waiting for his prey to appear.

Half an hour later.

A patrol came into view, and Ji Xinghuo, who was standing on the tree, perked up. This route was marked on the defense map, and a patrol would pass by every three hours.

They set out from the military camp five kilometers away, passed several guard towers along the way, and then went back another way.

However, few bounty hunters would take action against them.

Because this kind of patrol usually has twenty people, all of the four tribes of Fomalhaut have a reasonable professional mix, well-equipped, and a tacit understanding of combat, and is captained by a third-level Dagon man.

Even if two or three super aliens join forces, they dare not confront the patrol.

Moreover, the patrol team has a method of instant contact with the military camp. Once attacked, stronger tribesmen will quickly arrive at the scene.

Ji Xinghuo observed from a high place.

As expected, there were exactly twenty enemies as stated in the message.

Half of them are stone lizards. They are scattered in the front and rear of the team on foot. Their tall bodies are wearing metal armor, holding shields and weapons, and carrying javelins on their backs. They act as human shields and melee combatants in the team.

Five Golukak took turns to take off, exploring the surroundings.

There are four Dagon men, three of whom are riding armored war horses. The mount under one Dagon man is a plant cheetah, which is a vine spirit.

Apparently, the Dagon man riding the vine spirit was the patrol leader.

A few minutes later, the patrol entered the range of magnetic field induction, and Ji Xinghuo identified the occupations of the four Dagon people.

Not all Dagon people are Shui Si or Bing Feng. These two professions only account for about half. The other half of Dagon people, like humans, have chosen many other professional templates.

However, the genetic talents of the Dagon people are relatively scientific, so the number of professional templates is not as good as that of humans.

Many professional abilities are similar, but they are also different from humans.

Ji Xinghuo quickly decided on a strategy.

Soon, the patrol entered his shooting range. Ji Xinghuo raised the dragon and falcon bow, his right eye pupil lit up with a faint aperture, he aimed at a Dagon man carrying a hunting bow, and shot an arrow.
