Chapter 481 Hunting the Seventh-Level [Spine Dragon Python]
The Monster Forest is a general term used by adventurers in the southern continent to refer to the vast uninhabited area south of the Titan Mountains.
This area has lush primeval forests and caves with complex and three-dimensional paths like honeycombs.
There are a large number of monsters and various strange and extraordinary creatures in the forest, as well as countless rare medicinal herbs and minerals.
There are treasures everywhere.
But there are no roads in the primeval forest, and there are many vegetation areas with rainforest climates. Even if adventurers open a new road in the morning, vines and thorns will grow, and it will turn into a dense jungle again in the evening.
If there is no experienced guide, even experienced adventurers can easily get lost.
However, there is Ji Xun in the team.
Although it was his first time to enter the forest.
But his special thinking structure has long pieced together all the maps he has collected in these days into a large map in his mind.
He accurately judged the direction and the journey went smoothly.
The Great Sword Group is full of high-level card masters, and the group walked very fast, and walked more than 100 kilometers on the first day.
At nightfall, everyone came to a mountain stream full of red gravel.
This is the "Red Broken Rock Beach", a landmark on the many paths leading to the depths of the Monster Forest.
There are few high-level monsters nearby, and the view is wide, making it a good camping site.
Ji Xun's destination on the first day was here.
Qin Rushi greeted: "Okay, we'll rest here tonight."
"Okay, Captain!"
The Great Sword Group began to set up camp in high spirits.
The marching tents in the backpacks were taken out, and seven or eight tents were quickly set up.
The monsters hunted on the road also became the freshest ingredients. There were professional chefs in the team, and soon a large piece of barbecue was hung on the campfire.
The cadres of the Revolutionary Army were very excited.
The harvest along the way made everyone feel that there was gold everywhere.
Whenever they encountered a monster, this group of people could easily turn them into materials.
"Oh my goodness. Is this the legendary 'Monster Forest'? We have only been on the first day, and we have hunted two fourth-level monsters, more than a dozen low-level monsters, and a bunch of herbs. Just these gains are enough for a long-distance escort mission."
"Yes. This is the edge of the Monster Forest. I heard that if you go deep into the forest, where there are few people, there will be more precious herbs and high-level monsters. Especially those caves that have not been visited for a long time, and there are large-scale monster tribes. If we encounter a group, we will make a fortune. ”
“Sam, stop being such a pessimist. I heard from the adventurers in the tavern that encountering a group of monsters in the Monster Forest is not a good thing. A small group of dozens of monsters is fine, but if you really encounter a large group of thousands of monsters, the leader monster is at least level seven, and a group can kill a large team alive.”
“Hahaha, we have prepared so many guys this time, and we can set up some traps. Maybe we can really get fat in one wave.”
“.”
There are all kinds of professionals in the team, so Ji Xun doesn’t need to do any work.
He is a guide, so he can rest easy.
After setting up the tent, he sat down and listened to the team members bragging.
Listening to everyone’s excited words, Ji Xun felt that these gains were justified.
First, the resources in the Monster Forest are indeed too rich.
The forest is vast enough, with enough food to breed a large group of monsters.
The monster resources are like leeks. After cutting one wave, another wave will grow soon.
Also, the “Great Sword Group” is too strong.
Otherwise, if it were a normal small team, it would be enough to have a hard time encountering the two fourth-level monsters on the road.
This is just the beginning.
It will take at least half a month to reach the real core area.
The monsters will become more and more numerous and stronger.
Ji Xun has a full understanding of the future route, so he seems very calm.
The atmosphere inside the Revolutionary Army is very good. As everyone chats, the barbecue on the campfire is already sizzling.
After all, he is the only outsider, so Ji Xun did not say anything and just rested quietly on the side.
Qin Rushi also sat not far from him, studying the map that he had not had time to look at before.
At this time, the team doctor, the baby-faced "little girl" Bonnie with a big braid, came over with a piece of barbecue.
She looks young, but in fact, she has been a frequent visitor on the wanted list for more than ten years.
Bonnie, a senior cadre of the Revolutionary Army, once used a poisonous curse to poison and kill an entire federal army in the East Wilderness. She is not as harmless as she looks.
She looks like a short little girl, and it is said that she is deformed due to long-term research on toxins.
After walking all the way and chatting occasionally, Ji Xun and this nanny are more familiar with each other than others.
And she is Qin Rushi's best friend, so she is more familiar with each other than others.
People in the Revolutionary Army don't need to be polite to each other. Everyone takes their own barbecue and soup, even Qin Rushi.
The barbecue Bonnie took was of course for Ji Xun, the guest.
She asked: "Guide Sean, what should I call you? Also, how did you disguise yourself? I observed you all the way and didn't see any flaws."
"Thank you."
Ji Xun took the barbecue and asked back: "How do you know I don't look like this?"
Of course, he found that the girl was observing him all the way.
He didn't deliberately act, so it was normal to be found to be abnormal.
Because I was in a hurry, I didn't have the chance to ask along the way.
Now that she was free, Bonnie stared at Ji Xun's face again and said, "Your appearance does not match your temperament. You will know after observing more."
Not only was she curious, but other members of the Revolutionary Army were also very curious about the origin of this mysterious person in the team.
After the experience at the city gate at noon, they also realized how clever the disguised identity they had just obtained was.
Also, along the way, the professional guide ability is definitely from someone who has been in the World of Warcraft Forest all year round.
What's more.
Everyone could see that the relationship between this man and their leader was unusually familiar.
"hehe."
Ji Xun smiled.
In order to prevent some unexpected situations, such as inspections at the city gate, he used a disguised identity.
There is no need to pretend now. As soon as he turns his face, the clown mask changes and he has returned to his original appearance.
When Bonnie saw it, her eyes instantly lit up: "Ah, I said you shouldn't be ugly. Yes, you're quite handsome."
She blinked, looked at it carefully, and suddenly said: "Hey, why do I think I have seen you somewhere?"
Everyone in the revolutionary army was doing their own thing. They didn't gossip, but they glanced at Ji Xun's face from the corner of their eyes.
Qin Ru looked at the thick atmosphere of gossip in the camp and said nothing, but a helpless smile appeared on his face.
Ji Xun reminded: "Wanted order."
"Ah yes!"
Then Bonnie thought of something, "You are the one on the wanted list who killed the lord of the Cao family's Innocence City!"
Ji Xun nodded and reintroduced himself: "Yes. Ji Xun. Nice to meet Miss Bonnie."
Although he was also a frequent visitor on the East Wasteland wanted list, his acquaintance with Qin Rushi was a personal acquaintance, and no one in the revolutionary army knew it.
Everyone's impression of him still stayed in the Innocence City.
Even his rank is still at the first or second level.
Bonnie was surprised, but she also figured it out: "You are also from Donghuang? No wonder"
As she said that, she looked at Ji Xun and remembered that he was not of a high rank on the wanted order. She patted her chest and said cheerfully, "Ah, now that we know each other, we are friends."
Along the way, Ji Xun and this nanny were the key protection targets in the team, and they were more familiar with each other than the others.
He also liked the nanny's character and smiled slightly: "Yeah."
Qin Ru's eyebrows slightly raised inexplicably as she listened to the two chatting.
Now everyone knows why their leader's friend came from this way.
Moreover, people who are both from Donghuang are also inexplicably kind to each other.
Curious and curious, the camp that had been strangely quiet for a while became lively again, and everyone started doing their own things.
Because the adventure would continue tomorrow, after dinner, we divided into small teams to keep watch and patrol, while others gradually entered the tents to rest.
Ji Xun originally had his own tent.
It made no difference to him whether he was in the wild or in a hotel, it was all meditation anyway.
However, I just tried the magical effect of [Conquering Immortals] last night.
He didn't want to waste such a good night.
With the blessing of this secret technique, it is equivalent to Ji Xun having the understanding of Qin Rushi, the seventh level peak, and it will be much easier to see things in his own realm.
It feels like using the logical thinking skills of junior high school to read elementary school questions. Many difficult problems that were previously thought to be profound become clear at a glance.
This secret method of feeling resonance makes people addicted to it.
Ji Xun also needs many attempts to deepen his understanding.
Once he truly understands his own domain, not only will his strength skyrocket, but he will also be able to think about opportunities to advance to the seventh level.
This is a good time to take advantage of during your adventure.
However, the reality is a little problematic.
The hotel was okay, after all, there were only two of us, so it didn't matter what we did.
But it's a bit inconvenient in the wild. There are too many leaders of the revolutionary army here.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Rushi glanced over at him from the corner of his eye.
The two seemed to want to go together.
Qin Rushi's eyebrows also showed a hint of doubt, but it disappeared immediately.
With an open heart, there is nothing that cannot be faced directly.
She turned back to her tent.
After all, one needs to be thick-skinned. Ji Xun waited for a moment, stood up and walked over: "Aunt Qin, I have something to tell you."
With that said, he got into Qin Rushi's tent.
This drill is one night.
Early the next morning, everyone started to pack up the camp and set off.
After all, it was in the camp. Ji Xun stayed in Qin Rushi's tent all night and could not hide it from anyone.
It's not a special tent, and the movement can be heard clearly.
Of course everyone knew nothing happened.
But just because of this, everyone became more confused.
Now that they can all live in the same tent, what is their relationship?
When they woke up early in the morning, everyone still had their serious expressions of not gossiping at all and just doing their own thing.
But each one of them would always take a peek at the two victims from time to time.
The reason why it was strange was that it was also the first time that they discovered that their leader's relationship with a man was obviously more than a friend or a fighting partner.
Ji Xun is an outsider, so it's not easy for them to ask questions.
Qin Ru is the leader, so it's not easy for them to ask about such private matters.
There was a strong weird atmosphere in the team early in the morning.
Of course Qin Rushi also noticed it.
But I didn’t want to explain.
First, it is difficult to explain.
Second, if you really explain the reason clearly, it is the same as not explaining it.
On the other hand, Bonnie would ask secretly on the way.
Ji Xun would also truthfully say, "I asked about some extraordinary cultivation matters."
We are all partners who trust each other, and our curiosity is also our expectation and blessing.
If you say it, everyone will believe it.
I no longer feel any different from usual days.
It was half a month in a flash.
Ji Xun and the members of the Great Sword Group were on the road at high intensity every day, and gradually reached the depths of the Warcraft Forest.
Although they are all going to the "Death Zone", the honeycomb-like structure of the underground cave allows countless routes to choose from for the same destination.
Ji Xun also chose a very remote route.
The further we go, the farther we go, and we no longer see any trace of human activity a few days ago.
This road leads to the "Fairy Forest".
Not many people in Giant City know about it, so it’s not surprising that you can’t meet anyone.
One is to be on the way to their destination, and the other is to agree to the two elemental elves Korra and Nina to take them back.
There are also two elemental elves who know this area very well.
They said that there is a seventh-level monster here!
After a while, as everyone walked, the trees around them gradually became sparse, and the mud under their feet turned into soft, wet grass with black water.
As the team walked, they updated the map in their notebooks.
Suddenly, he stopped.
When everyone saw him stop, they also stopped.
Everyone, including Qin Rushi, turned to look at Ji Xun, looking like they were waiting for instructions.
After spending half a month together, the twenty or so people in the team have been completely impressed by his professionalism.
Although the Great Sword Regiment is a very strong team, it really doesn’t count in the World of Warcraft Forest.
Especially in the depths of the Warcraft Forest, the group may be wiped out at any time.
It can be said that because of Ji Xun's professionalism, he has avoided several emergencies that had a high probability of causing attrition and battle losses.
For example, the [Illusion Corpse Demon Flower] encountered three days ago was obviously just a fourth-level hell plant, but its super hallucinogenic pollen in full bloom was a fatal threat. If it weren't for the targeted potion he prepared in advance, except for a few card masters of level six or above, few people in the Great Sword Group would be alive;
Or maybe in the mythical and legendary [Human-faced Ghost Forest] I encountered yesterday, undead plants can enchant the soul. If Ji Xun hadn't recognized the accompanying vines in advance, the consequences of going deep into the ghost forest would have been disastrous.
There are too many similar details along the way.
The crisis in the Warcraft Forest is far more terrifying and dangerous than what I heard.
There are so many dangerous species here that everyone in the Eastern Wilderness has either seen or heard of.
Even Qin Ru thought so. If she had just brought the group here and followed the same route, the number of people would have been reduced by now.
But because Ji Xun was in the team, most of the crises were resolved before they happened.
Although he didn't show any combat ability along the way, he gave people an inexplicable sense of security that he knew everything, knew everything, and was prepared for everything.
This also made everyone in the revolutionary army change from strangers to familiarity to their friend, their leader, and then to admiration.
Having such a [Eruditionist] and [Professional Guide] in the team is simply the dream configuration of countless mercenary groups.
Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding along the way.
As long as Ji Xun stops, there must be something wrong.
Qin Ru tilted his head and asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"
Beside Ji Xun, two elves were really flying, excitedly as if they had said something.
Everyone looked at it with astonishment in their hearts.
A mythical creature.
Although they had discovered it before, this was the first time these two elves appeared and flew out.
And Ji Xun communicated with them in Elvish?
The eyes of everyone in the Great Sword Group couldn't hide the strange look in their eyes, but they seemed to think it was understandable.
They would feel weird if this kind of mythical creature appeared next to anyone, but when it was next to Ji Xun, everything became understandable.
There is so much magic about this guy.
After listening to the elf's introduction, Ji Xun turned to the crowd and said, "Ahead is the 'Blackwater Swamp'. There are a large number of highly poisonous [Spironosaurus Pythons] in this swamp, which are the blood descendants of the mythical creature [Hell Python]." , very strong, cruel in nature, and the swamp terrain is very easy to hide. Please be careful in case of poisoning, and remember to use antidote as soon as possible. "
That's right, this information is not available even in the Giant Spirit City. It is information only known to the aborigines such as the elemental elves.
Qin Ru nodded: "Yes."
No one else dared to be careless.
However, caution must be taken. Everyone in the revolutionary group has long been accustomed to struggling in hardships, and everyone has been very optimistic all the way.
Even in the face of danger, the team members always have calm smiles on their faces.
Team leader Bonnie immediately became excited: "Ah Ji Xun, is this the career material you said is suitable for me? Hahaha, I finally encountered a seventh-level monster!"
She just needs mythical essence and blood to reach the seventh level, so this [Spiny Spinal Dragon Python] is perfect.
After saying this, everyone was gearing up and getting faintly excited.
"Yes, the sixth-level monsters have always seemed a bit boring to us. Now we finally meet the seventh-level monsters, and they are from the tribe. We must give it a try!"
"After all, the seventh-level monster is already a 'Lord Monster', and it's not easy to deal with. But if it encounters us, it will overturn its nest no matter what!"
"Hey, thank you to Brother Ji Xun. Otherwise, who would have known that there are even seventh-level monsters hidden in this ghost place."
"yes."
"."
Although they have gained a lot along the way, they are not here to hunt monsters for money.
The most important purpose is to find the extraordinary resources that are scarce in the East Wilderness.
The seventh-level mythical blood monster is their hunting target.
Not only for their own use, but also for the development of the revolutionary army in the future.
In addition to excitement, Bonnie also asked: "Ji Xun, does this monster have any weaknesses?"
Everyone looked over.
In the team, everyone seemed to have a consensus.
If you ask Ji Xun about any unknown questions, you can always get the answer.
[Spine Dragon Python] This ancient monster is not to say that they have never heard of it, even if they have seen it in some books, it is just a name.
As for habits and weaknesses, they know nothing.
Ji Xun did not disappoint everyone and said, "The biggest problem is the toxin. But we have prepared enough potions. If this problem is solved, its threat will be reduced by at least half."
Bonnie: "That's easy."
"But everyone be careful, there may be accidents."
Ji Xun said, and then said, "There is usually only one lord monster in an area. Normally, our preparations are enough to solve it. But [Spine Dragon Python] is special, and the mating time is uncertain. If it is in estrus, there may be two."
Hearing this, everyone responded excitedly: "Good! Two is better!"
All the way, everyone seemed to have quietly gotten used to Ji Xun's ability to consider everything.
Fear always comes from the unknown.
But there is such a person in the team who has deduced all the possibilities that will be encountered before it happens, as if everything is simple.
This reminder not only did not make people worry, but always gave people a full sense of security.
After Ji Xun finished speaking, everyone began to prepare.
Hunting different monsters, there are different tactics.
Traps, cards, potions. Prepare one by one.
Even Qin Rushi was preparing seriously.
Facing the poison, nanny Bonnie was not afraid at all, and her face was full of excitement.
She took out all kinds of colorful bottles and jars from the storage ring and started to fiddle with them.
On the contrary, Ji Xun was the only one who was the most idle in the team.
Qin Rushi brought all the elites, they were a professional combat team with their own tactics and formations.
There was no need for outsiders to intervene.
As a "guide", he just had to stay calm like he did before.
Even if there were two seventh-level monsters, there was nothing to worry about.
While everyone was preparing, Ji Xun was also writing and drawing in his notebook.
Not only drawing maps, but also his habitual caution, physical notes were to guard against some mental misleading.
At this time, Bonnie saw Ji Xun and said, "By the way, Ji Xun, I haven't asked you yet, how is your combat power?"
After all, it was the first time for the team to hunt a seventh-level monster, and everyone else knew everything, except for one outsider.
Ji Xun listened and responded casually: "It's OK."
Bonnie listened and said nothing, and introduced her own experience, saying: "The seventh-level monster is very powerful. We hunted it once before and suffered a lot of losses. This kind of monster with mythical bloodline will definitely be more powerful. There may be accidents when fighting, and everyone can't take care of you."
Ji Xun listened and nodded: "Yeah."
All the way, he and several nurse professionals were the focus of protection.
No one knows what will happen when hunting a seventh-level monster.
Even Ji Xun himself took it very seriously.
At this time, Bonnie thought of something and said: "Well, try to stay close to me for a while. In case of problems, I will protect you. Of course, with the leader here, these are not a problem."
When Ji Xun heard this, his expression was slightly startled and he glanced at her.
Although this girl uses poison, she is kind-hearted.
Especially after getting familiar with her, she is a very good friend.
Although Ji Xun felt that he was not the one who needed to be protected in the team, it was good to be cared for by others.
After a moment of hesitation, he did not refuse the kindness and chuckled: "Okay, thank you!"
Qin Rushi, who happened to be not far away, also heard this and immediately cast a strange look.
She raised a smile at the corner of her mouth and said to Bonnie meaningfully: "He is not as weak as you think"
Bonnie was confused: "Huh?"
At this time, she did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
