Chapter 487 The Truth Behind Lanlingster's Fall

The strong man with the tea beard felt a thump in his heart when he heard Qin Rushi's words.

The look of fear and confusion was thinking: Who are these guys?

You must know that in the Southern Continent, even calling the dragon god "Erel" by his name is taboo.

But just now this person mentioned the supreme Dragon God, but there was no respect at all?

At this moment, Teabeard was finally sure that these people in front of him were definitely not from the Holy See!

Is it a "heresy"?

They had been recruited by the Holy See before and participated in several operations to suppress heretics.

It was not surprising that he encountered those evil and cruel pagans preached by the Holy See in the Warcraft Forest.

If it had been before, he would have fought these heretics to the end without hesitation.

But now

The supreme holy aura of the Holy See has been completely shattered since they were silenced in the secret realm.

That's just a bunch of hypocritical guys.

Instead, now that he has met someone who is not from the Holy See, he really sees hope of survival.

Moreover, Teabeard also showed a hint of bitterness on his face when he heard that the other party used the word "buy".

He thought for a moment and then responded: "Okay! I can sell you information and things."

There is no choice.

Obviously the opponent has the ability to steal, so being able to say this is already the best situation.

"That secret realm seems to be the place where gods died in battle in ancient times. There are a lot of chaotic areas left in the ruins."

"The secret realm seems to be connected to the underworld, and there are a lot of hell and abyss monsters in it. We have only explored the thirteenth level of the cave, and we have already encountered many incredible high-level monsters. Those monsters are huge and much stronger than the same-level monsters. . There are also some who have strange abilities, and we suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, we don’t know how deep it is."

"."

After Teabeard recognized the reality, he became less secretive in his speech.

From how they were recruited, where they came from, which route they took, what they discovered, and why they were silenced

Tell them one by one.

Ji Xun actually heard the beginning and almost guessed the whole story.

Teabeard and his "Mithril Snake Mercenary Group" are one of the many adventure groups that responded to the call of the Holy Holy See. They came to the World of Warcraft Forest and completed various tasks assigned by the Holy See.

Then I discovered the "Dead Zone" and went to explore it.

But he really didn't expect it to be so twists and turns later.

That secret realm turned out to be the place where Emperor Lanlingst fell!

Teabeard continued.

"There are still many spiritual remnants and extradimensional spaces from ancient times in the secret realm. This also allowed us, the first batch of adventurers who went deep into the secret realm, to get a glimpse of the truth of the original battle between gods."

"There seems to have been a divine war that year. The Dragon Clan of the Southern Continent conspired to ambush Emperor Lanlingster of the Talon Dynasty."

"At that time, it was the heyday of Alterac civilization. The golden dragon god Marodis led the dragon clan. He led the brass dragon, iron dragon, platinum dragon, bronze dragon, and at least five god-level dragons participated in that shocking battle. Lan Lingst came to the southern continent just to explore the depths of the secret realm, but for some reason he came out seriously injured, which also allowed the dragons to find an opportunity to succeed in the sneak attack. However, no one expected the strength of Emperor Lan Lingst. It is too powerful, even if it is seriously injured, both sides will suffer heavy losses after a great battle."

"Originally, the outcome of the battle was unknown. However, unexpectedly, a three-headed dragon suddenly broke into the battlefield. It attacked the Golden Dragon God Marodis and Emperor Lanlingst. I don't know what happened next."

"But just because we spied on these ancient secrets, it also brought fatal disasters to our group. Only then did we know that the people of the Holy Church had recruited us and did not want us to take these secrets out alive."

"."

When Ji Xun and the members of the Great Sword Group heard this, although their faces were expressionless, their trembling eyes foreshadowed the unrest in their hearts.

These news are really exciting.

Even Ji Xun was very surprised. It turned out that the truth behind the fall of Emperor Lanlingst was this.

Didn't he fall into the abyss, but was attacked by the Dragon Clan in the Southern Continent?

Although Teabeard doesn't know what will happen next.

But the fact now is that the powerful Alterac collapsed overnight, and the Irel Empire ruled the southern continent for hundreds of thousands of years.

No wonder the Holy See wanted to erase that period of civilized history.

The "three-headed dragon god Airel" indeed played the role of a disgraceful sneak attacker in that battle.

He vividly embodies the word "cunning" of the dragon in this story.

As Ji Xun listened, the logical lines of the chronological documents he had seen before were now completely complete.

Before coming, everyone thought that the "Death Zone" only had a high death rate.

Thinking about a newly developed ruins area, it is normal for the death rate to be high.

However, they did not expect that those in the Holy Church did not expect that these recruited mercenaries and adventurers could get out alive.

Teabeard's escape was a stroke of luck.

He finally said: "We knew that those ancient secrets were of great importance, and we originally wanted to hide them. However, for some reason, the people of the Holy Vatican quickly discovered the anomaly, and then the Holy Dragon Knights began to kill us. They I didn’t want us to take this secret out. The leader and everyone else died in the encirclement and suppression. The reason why I survived was because our battle happened to attract an eighth-level Warcraft Lord lurking in the secret realm, and it dispersed in an instant. Encirclement. I was lucky enough to escape during the chaos."

The story ends here.

Then they chased and fled in a panic until they met Ji Xun and the others.

"."

Teabeard didn't know how they were exposed, but Ji Xun vaguely guessed it.

He suddenly thought of his teammate "Zhuosha" who was a clone of the Royal Academy.

The people of the Holy Church's control over the secular power of the king is not as loose as it seems.

Teabeard said, looking at everyone in the Great Sword Group again, and said: "I have said what needs to be said. You should know what this news means."

Now they can be said to be on the same side.

After hearing this news, people from the Holy See will definitely silence themselves.

He thought everyone would regret forcing him to tell this story.

However, he was surprised.

Everyone present, apart from being surprised when they heard the story, showed no signs of panic about the imminent silence.

Teabeard's eyes twitched, becoming more and more certain that these guys were heretics.

But now it doesn't matter who they are.

Teabeard just wanted to escape quickly. He took the initiative to take out the package that he had been treasured and said, "I don't know what this 'gem' is, but it must be very precious. This is what several of our mercenary groups have joined forces to surround." It was obtained by killing a seventh-level mutant monster, and the people from the Holy See not only wanted to silence it, but they also seemed to be here for it."

He also knew very well that by telling the whole story and those lines, his greatest value had been lost.

I can’t keep my treasure either.

It doesn't matter now whether it is sold or not, being alive is the best outcome.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the strong man was surprised again.

"Um."

Qin Ru took the cloth bag calmly.

Without even taking another look, she threw out a storage ring in exchange and said: "The things in the storage ring are not as valuable as the things in your hands. But for now I can only give this price."

The storage ring contained the World of Warcraft materials and some insignificant belongings that had been hunted recently.

These things are clean enough and nothing can be found.

"???"

Teabeard received the storage ring thrown over and was stunned for a moment: Do you really want to buy it?

He only glanced at it and found that the storage ring was filled with various Warcraft materials.

If you really have to sell it all, you won’t be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes.

After being stunned for a moment, he saw that no one in the Great Sword Group was joking. He was surprised and said quickly: "That's enough! That's enough!"

Not to mention that the other party really kept his promise, which already surprised him.

Even exchange value is enough.

He is very self-aware. What the other party exchanges is not only these materials, but also the risks.

No matter what that thing is, there is a high probability that he will not be able to keep it.

Being able to exchange these things is enough.

After the transaction was completed, everyone in the Great Sword Group stopped surrounding the strong man and made way for him.

Teabeard felt like he was in a dream when he saw that he could really leave alive.

He said without being verbose: "Everyone, thank you very much. Farewell!"

Just as I turned around and took a step forward with anxiety, I suddenly heard someone behind me say, "Wait a minute."

Teabeard's heart skipped a beat, thinking something had happened.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he heard the intelligence dealer calmly reminding him: "Don't go to the northwest. Take the east side of the Gravel Canyon to detour. It's safer there."

Teabeard's expression flashed with complexity as he listened: "Okay!"

He glanced at everyone gratefully, turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.

After the people left, Ji Xun and everyone in the Great Sword Group also looked at each other in shock.

I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing while camping casually.

"Hey, it's interesting. It turns out that gods can also do sneak attacks."

"Yes. That's how the dragon god Airel came to power. These dragonborn people in the Southern Continent still think that the dragon is supreme. Hahaha, this is no different from the bloody plot of the noble families in the Eastern Wasteland fighting for power. Well"

"But having said that, Emperor Lanlingst is really powerful. Even the five dragon gods teamed up to ambush him and inflicted damage on both sides. This is indeed the end of the legend of the Chaos Era."

"Hey, tell me, why did Emperor Lanlingster go to the Dead Realm? What is there?"

"There is the ultimate secret of the world."

"Bah, Luo Sen, can you just come here without opening your mouth? Tell the truth."

"If you don't believe me, ask Brother Ji Xun, he will definitely say the same thing."

"Hahaha"

"."

Without the outsiders, everyone in the Great Sword Group also started chatting.

The revolutionary army has been surviving in encirclement and suppression all year round, so when everyone heard the secrets that would make anyone in the southern continent panic, instead of having any worries, they were in fact curious.

But after chatting, everyone also sensed the crisis.

Since the people of the Holy See are chasing that guy again, and now that they are in contact, there will of course be risks involved.

Chen Jian Wuliu reminded: "Chief, I'm afraid we can't stay here any longer. We have to camp somewhere else."

"Um."

Qin Rushi nodded, looking at the cloth bag in her hand, a trace of thought flashed across her expression.

This fragment of the divine power is different from what they got before. This piece involves some other causes and effects. Even if it is hidden, some mysterious methods may be able to track it down.

Ji Xun certainly knew what she was thinking, and said directly: "Give me the thing. I'll go for a walk."

Qin Rushi wanted to say that she would go by herself, but looking at Ji Xun's eyes, she only said a few words to say: "Well. Be careful."

Ji Xun nodded.

The tacit understanding between the two does not need to be explained.

He can think more carefully than anyone else, and he can also move in space, which is the best anti-tracking method.

He is also the best person in the team to deal with this trouble.

As he said, he took the cloth bag, turned around and plunged into the dense forest.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Ji Xun wanted to follow the route of the tea beard's escape, and continue to walk for a while to accumulate this logical line.

He had a strong acting ability and could even imitate some details of Tea Beard's body movements, such as the slight limp on his left leg due to the injury, and the footprints on the ground were heavier on the right and lighter on the left.

He ran for dozens of kilometers and made a big circle.

Then he jumped into a dark river.

Then he let Ivan swallow the fragment of the godhead.

Any storage space is not as safe as this girl's stomach.

Several space teleportations completely eliminated the traces of action, and a perfect tracking trace was completed.

Not long after, Ji Xun caught up with Qin Rushi and the others, and the group moved to another place to continue camping for the night.

As expected, there were no pursuers, and the night was peaceful.

No one noticed that night, and with Ji Xun's means, it would be even more impossible for the people of the Holy See to find trouble with them later.

It was another half a month in a flash.

Ji Xun and the Great Sword Group continued to hunt high-level monsters in the Monster Forest, going deeper and deeper.

The harvest was also very ideal.

As they went deeper, there were more and more high-level monsters. They were strong enough and successfully hunted a large number of monsters.

Among them were two seventh-level monsters with mythical blood, [Dragon Claw Fire Crow] and [Golden Wing Vulture].

This made everyone in the revolutionary army very excited.

Because this was a precious material required for advancement to the seventh level, which just happened to be highly consistent with the advancement needs of "Demolition Master" Rosen and the group's chief assassin "Sick Tiger" Shan Dong.

Counting the materials hunted before, everyone found that their purpose of coming to South Road this time was actually almost completed.

The team members were very excited, but Ji Xun and Qin Rushi were not surprised.

Because this was the hunting plan they had set before departure.

There are not many adventure groups that can hunt seventh-level monsters, and usually the lord monsters will not move.

Ji Xun's intelligence was the latest.

In addition to good luck, their hunting success was also expected.

However, there were also unexpected situations.

On the way, they encountered a hell creature that almost reduced the team's members again-[Ghost Mantis].

This hell creature is a natural assassin, they can hide perfectly in the air.

And they travel in groups.

Before, no one had seen this legendary creature.

However, during a camping trip, the Great Sword Group encountered a sneak attack by a group of mantises.

Fortunately, the strength and tacit understanding of the Great Sword Group were not bad.

Although two people were seriously injured and more than ten people were slightly injured, they successfully solved the group of mantises and harvested a bunch of precious hell materials.

But this also reminded them.

The closer to the "Dead Zone", the more and stronger the hell monsters that escaped from the secret realm.

The more unknowns.

If they continue to explore alone like this, they may encounter a crisis of group annihilation one day.

But they don't want to miss the great opportunities and secrets in the Dead Zone.

The most important thing is that the previous incidents in the Temple of the Sun and the subsequent encounter with the deputy leader of the Mithril Snake still left some hidden dangers.

Most people would choose to hide in a remote place.

But Ji Xun didn't.

He felt that they needed a complex environment with many people to confuse this direction.

After discussing with Qin Rushi, everyone decided to meet up with the large force of the Mercenary Union.

Get some information, avoid risks, and look for opportunities.

There is a cave half a month away from the dead zone, where the mercenary union has set up a temporary camp.

It has a fairy-tale name, called "Firefly Camp".

Because the cave where the camp is located has a large number of spore plants, the wind blows through the forest, and the fluorescent spores like fireflies are scattered all over the sky.

Ji Xun and his team had always been walking the route they planned and had not met other groups.

Now they have changed the mainstream route and quickly followed the sign of the mercenary union to find this camp.

From a distance, everyone saw the bustling camp.

"Hehe, they actually built such a big camp, and even repaired the magic tower. Those guys in the Mercenary Guild are really capable."

"It takes a long time to develop the Dead Zone. So many mercenaries need a supply station. It's not surprising that there is a camp here."

"Yes, but those adventurers don't know that it's easy to come, but it's hard to leave."

"Who cares? I can smell the aroma of wine. Let's go and have a drink!"

"."

The people of the Great Sword Group had no intention of hiding anything. They walked towards the camp carelessly.

There was a guard at the door. He showed the mercenary badge and entered easily.

In the team, Ji Xun had been quietly observing the surroundings. He glanced at the towering magic tower in the camp, only to find that those stones were also fragments of ancient buildings.

And looking at the carvings on the gravel, they are almost exactly the same style as the previous Sun Temple in Blackwater Swamp.

Qin Rusu next to him glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xun chuckled and said: "The people of the Holy Holy See demolished the temple of the Light Sect to build the magic tower."

"Oh."

Qin Rushi glanced at it and knew what he was talking about.

This camp may also have been an ancient temple.

They had previously speculated that the temple was the corner of the sealing formation, which meant that it was a very critical location.

The campground is not large, but there are many people there, like a lively town.

A weapons shop with clanking swords hanging on it, a magic shop with a dazzling array of cards in the window, and a general store selling adventurer equipment.

Several large chambers of commerce also opened their shops in this camp.

Adventurers can replenish everything they need.

Of course, the most popular place is the Adventurer Tavern.

There is no better pastime than good wine to relieve the fatigue and tension of adventurers in the wild.

The mercenary tents were all outside the camp. Ji Xun recognized the flags of at least dozens of mercenary groups, as well as some private soldiers of nobles.

There are many strong people in the camp.

As soon as the members of the Great Sword Group came in, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi noticed a few scrutinizing glances.

But they didn't show anything unusual at all.

Completely like an ordinary mercenary group.

Ji Xun looked at the busiest street and suggested, "Let's go, how many drinks can we have?"

Qin Ru said happily: "Okay."

Everyone in the Great Sword Group has been exploring for more than two months and needs some entertainment.

The tavern is also the best place to get information.

Everyone happily dispersed and went to find their own fun.

Bonnie was not interested in having fun, so she followed Ji Xun and Qin Rushi and wandered on the street.

Looking at an adventurer's tavern with the words "Lucky Tavern" hanging on it, the three of them dived in.

Counting the time, it's still afternoon.

But the tavern was crowded.

Fortunately, the "Intelligence Businessman Sean" played by Ji Xun had many options. With a face card, the three of them managed to get to a small corner of the bar.

Those who can get here are no longer small mercenary groups, there are many high-level card masters in the tavern.

But bragging after drinking too much is part of human nature. There is a lot of information in the noisy conversation.

Ji Xun and the other three ordered drinks.

The price of the same wine is about twenty times that of Giant Spirit City.

The three of them drank, chatted, and listened to the adventurers bragging.

Ji Xun's scattered thoughts allowed him to separate the muddy sounds in his ears into clear conversations among dozens of tables of drinkers.

He also listened to some information that interested him.

"Oh, there are more and more hell monsters in the nearby forest. Lord monsters are everywhere. Small and medium-sized teams like us don't dare to leave the camp casually."

"Yeah, there are so many monsters from hell that appeared out of nowhere. They are also ridiculously strong. The eighth-level [Dark Peacock] the day before yesterday hit the death beam, and the Royal Cavalry Regiment of the Red Dragon Royal Family suffered heavy losses. In the end It's a pity that the monster escaped. It is said that it is a high-purity mythical species."

"The Phoenix, the Hell Flying Dragon, the World-Destroying Thunder Ape, and the Dark Peacock are all the fourth eighth-level monsters I've heard about. It's so damn weird. You can't even see the top-level monsters in normal times. It all came together.”

"I heard that it came out of the big pit in the south. Hey~ Aren't the Black Dragon and Silver Dragon royal families recruiting experts to explore that big pit. The price is very high. Aren't you, the Giant Shield Group, interested?"

"Someone I knew went there before, but there is no news yet. I don't know what the situation is. I guess that line is very risky, so I will wait and see for a few days."

"The Holy See has recruited them. I saw with my own eyes that all the elite Holy Dragon Knights have gone. I think it's no problem."

"."

These conversations turned into tiny pieces of information in Ji Xun's mind, and then were spliced ​​together with strands of logic, gradually restoring the situation of the Firefly camp in recent times.

However, most of these are independent groups, or they have just arrived in the camp, and few people know the true situation about the "Dead Zone".

Ji Xun didn't think he could get any useful information on the first day.

Anyway, there was no rush, so the three of them drank one glass after another.

However, the camp is not big, and anyone you know may be able to meet you while walking on the street.

Ji Xun and the other three were drinking, and a familiar scene happened again.

A guy with blond hair and blue eyes wearing shiny armor suddenly entered the tavern. He recognized Qin Rushi at a glance and walked over: "Hey, isn't this Captain Qin?"

Familiar routines, serious encounters.

The person who came was none other than William, the branch leader of the King's Knights whom he had met at the gate of Djinn City before.

Seeing this guy, Bonnie muttered, "This guy is here again."

However, when Ji Xun saw the person coming, he and Qin Ru looked at each other from the corner of their eyes and whispered: "You are indeed being targeted."
