Chapter 302 Meeting Qin Rushi again in the swamp

 The next few days.

 Whenever there is a chance, Ji Xun will go and chat with Aragorn.

 The two of them talked about the rescue plan, and also talked about some extraordinary knowledge.

The Frederic family of Aragon is a lineage of heroes that has lasted for thousands of years.

This ancient family has inherited many ancient secrets that others don’t know.

Probably because Ji Xun rescued Alice, Aragorn knew almost everything about him.

Ji Xun also learned too much interesting knowledge.

ˆAbout the Southern Continent, the world, and the extraordinary path.

 Every [hero] is destined to have an extraordinary life.

 Aragon’s ancestors played various prominent roles in history.

 In addition to talking about these.

But there are many top-level card masters in the Airel Empire.

There are almost no extra-dimensional spaces here.

 The fact is that the secret method of personal cultivation is a very private topic.

Those epic stories that can only be heard in the mouths of bards in taverns, for Aragorn, they are just oral stories of his ancestors.

Ji Xun felt that just listening to those stories was a very wonderful experience.

 But the opportunity did not wait, but the accident did.

 Let's see if there is a suitable opportunity in the secret realm to rescue the toad.

 But later, it was because, Aragorn felt, they had similar temperaments.

 But it is a huge wild secret in itself.

 Great adventurer, dragon-slaying warrior, exorcist, savior, general. Many of them are famous figures in the history of the Southern Continent.

 Aragorn even felt that this should be the fate.

Furthermore, through thousands of years of understanding and actual combat, the Frederick family has gained countless insights and usage skills in this mysterious magic method.

 "Plague Swamp" is like the "Ruins of Xia Mu City" that Ji Xun visited before.

  It is like the protagonist of a novel telling the readers his wonderful adventure stories in person.

Ji Xun analyzed the information every day and discussed with Aragorn to see if there were any suitable opportunities.

 The situation has been almost the same these days.

There are many strange creatures in the swamp, as well as some "unknown level" monsters and ancient restrictions. The mortality rate during exploration is very high.

 From those stories, he saw the fate lines of [heroes] one by one.

People also gradually came into contact with the central area of ​​​​the swamp. While obtaining a large number of ancient treasures, they also brought out a lot of information.

I also saw the countless fate lines that the hero is involved in in the world's big script.

this day.

 His vision saw some qualities that Ji Xun himself didn't even know he had.

By coincidence, Ji Xun also has the [Power Gem Golden Ball] in his hand, which is an exclusive cultivation secret treasure that only exists in the legendary "The Fall of the Gods from the Sky".

　　If you were a card master from the Eastern Continent, you might really have to treat him as a "forbidden zone", but you have no choice but to do so.

What Ji Xun didn’t know was that Aragorn was willing to share some extraordinary knowledge because of cooperation and because of Alice’s life-saving grace.

 Aragon’s family has a bronze fragment of this secret method.

 But it’s much more than Ji Xun’s share.

 The hunter group led the war slaves all the way to open up wasteland, going deeper and deeper.

 As time goes by, after the subsequent large forces of mercenaries and hunters from the Red Dragon Kingdom arrive, this open secret realm will be bulldozed sooner or later.

Although the secret method on the copper plate is not complete.

 Some people are destined to shine, and [Heroes] are such existences.

 Listening to the story gave him a magical experience of traveling through an epic story.

  Ji Xun has a rough understanding of the law of time.

There is also the mysterious method of talking about magic "inducing the gods to fall".

 They must be one of the tops of the pyramid standing on the peak of the wave of the times and riding the waves.

 Looking for it every season is like finding a treasure.

But Aragorn told it without reservation.

  Ji Xun’s previous secret method obtained in “The Battle of Ironforge” was just an introductory training formula.

Ji Xun’s original plan was to wait and find out the news.

Ji Xun was packing his luggage in the Viper Regiment's camp.

In the past two days, the senior leaders of the Red Dragon Kingdom have issued many missions to explore the depths of the swamp. It happened that the main force of the Viper Regiment also arrived, and they were planning to break camp and set off.

 The sudden explosion and shock wave shook the entire camp and disrupted everyone's rhythm.

 “Boom~”

 Deafening.

 The shock wave overturned a large number of tents like a tidal wave.

 The adventurers looked into the depths of the swamp one by one and talked about it.

"what happens!"

"This shock wave belongs to those guys from the Eastern Wasteland. I heard that someone discovered people from the Eastern Wasteland in the ruins two days ago. General Herman of the Hydralisk Legion personally led people to round them up. It seems that there are results today. .”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun smelled the faint smell of gunpowder in the shock wave.

　　　I also know what’s going on.

Although there are frequent battles between high-level card masters in the swamp these days, the sound of bomb explosions is still very special.

 People in the Southern Continent don’t know how to use bombs.

 So it can only be people from Donghuang.

 “I wonder who is in the swamp?”

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into thinking: "Looking at the explosion yield and elemental fluctuations, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain military-controlled products such as the detonation of the 'K35 magic bomb'."

 Yesterday, he actually heard the news that the Donghuang Card Master was found in the ruins.

 After all, Ji Xun used a communicator to communicate with Catalina about the situation here.

If the "Allied Army" comes here to take action, he will definitely be informed in advance.

Ji Xun then thought that it might be some unfamiliar force.

 I didn’t pay much attention to it.

However, just look at the explosion in front of you.

Ji Xun had an inexplicable premonition.

 I always feel that the person in conflict may be related to myself.

“K35” is currently one of the top military bombs in the Eastern Continent, and it poses a certain threat to fifth- and sixth-level card masters.

Although there are quite a few Donghuangka divisions in the Old Continent now, most of the people who may hold such bombs are in the Alliance Army.

Or is it the secret exploration team of the Oran royal family?

Ji Xun didn't understand.

 But he also knew that since there was a battle, news would come back soon.

General Hermann, the commander of the Hydralisk Legion, and another seventh-level mercenary commander personally went to encircle and suppress them. No matter who the person in the swamp was, there was a high probability that they would be doomed.

 As Ji Xun expected.

 Not long after, a group of Hydralisk Legion soldiers escorted a dozen wounded prisoners out of the swamp.

The prisoner walking in front had a beard and looked like a sloppy drunkard.

Ji Xun took a look, and he actually recognized him!

 He was surprised and said: ""Broken Gun" Anros? "

This person is none other than a revolutionary army cadre who showed his face in the last battle before the old Hong Tower was burned down.

Ji Xun looked at the other prisoners and found that many of them were important prisoners of the Revolutionary Army who had been on the federal wanted list.

He suddenly thought: "In other words, the people who fought in the swamp were members of the revolutionary army?"

 It clicked right away!

He had asked Catalina before. Originally, the Lionheart family also wanted to cooperate with the revolutionary army to form an alliance army.

  But because the Lionheart family is an official legion after all, it has had many conflicts with the revolutionary army.

 The negotiation failed in the end.

 The two sides currently only have some communication on intelligence sharing and supplies.

 So it can be explained that the "K35 bomb" is in the hands of the revolutionary army.

 However, just because he was confirmed to be a member of the revolutionary army, Ji Xun's expression became solemn.

He doesn't care about other people, but there is a friend he knows very well in the revolutionary army.

Cadres like An Luosi have been arrested. Could it be that the deputy leader Qin Rushi is also here?

Ji Xun frowned and fell into deep thought.

Few card artists who can let the two seventh levels be encircled in person.

 Maybe she really is here!

but

 What are the people from the revolutionary army doing here?

“Are you here for the Bai family ruins?”

Ji Xun suddenly thought of the information Aragorn had told him.

This plague swamp is a "Secret Tomb of the Immortal Family" belonging to the Bai family.

And Qin Ru has obtained the inheritance of the Bai family, so it makes sense for him to come to the ruins to find something.

 “This is going to be troublesome.”

Ji Xun’s eyes trembled frequently.

  Qin Rushi was not seen among the prisoners, which added a lot of uncertainty.

 Either he was not caught or he was killed

 Or other situations?

 But the two seventh-order soldiers have already gone to encircle and suppress them. In any case, as long as Qin Ru comes, the situation will definitely not be good.

 It’s a pity that I couldn’t contact you in time.

 Communicators are still laboratory products and are currently in mass production. Information communication is also a big problem.

 Qin Ru came to Plague Swamp, and may have contacted him.

 But the "Joel" he pretended to be before was already dead.

missed.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's thoughts began to spin and he began to deduce.

Just as I was thinking about it, it was the first time for many of these card masters from the Southern Continent to see the card masters from the Eastern Continent. They were pointing at each other, very curious.

 “What’s going on with these people?”

“The card masters from the Eastern Wasteland were sneaking around in the swamp, and General Heman and the others caught them easily.”

“Hey, fifth- and sixth-level war slaves, these may be sold at a good price.”

ˆ “.”

These people are all low-level soldiers and have no useful information.

Ji listened for a while and determined only one thing.

That means the two seventh-level commander Heman didn’t come back!

Moreover, the men of the Hydralisk Legion have to bring toads into the swamp!

 This also means two possibilities:

 Some masters have escaped, and they are still hunting;

If you go in with the toad, there is a high probability that you will find something important in the swamp.

If Qin Ruzhi really came and was not dead, her situation would definitely not be good.

Two seventh-level siegemen, even if Gong Wu came, might not be able to save them.

But Ji Xun did not hesitate, and the thought suddenly came to him: "I have to go and see it."

 He didn't know if he could be of any help.

 But he was sure that he must go and see it.

 It's best if Qin Ru doesn't need help.

 She is afraid that she needs help, but here, no one can help her.

Only Ji Xun.

Unable to wait for the Viper Mercenary Group to trigger the attack, Ji Xun blended into the group of adventurers and quietly slipped into the swamp.

Then when no one was paying attention, he decisively broke away from the team and rushed into the depths of the swamp.

The Plague Swamp has been explored for many days, and the adventurers have carved out several safe passages.

Ji Xun has already drawn up a detailed map in his mind with the information he obtained these days.

 Wherever there are high-level monsters, there are deadly poisonous miasmas

 He knows it clearly.

 Although this is the first time to enter the plague swamp.

 But just like walking into his own back garden, Ji Xun did not encounter any danger and rushed for dozens of kilometers.

 The air is still filled with a faint smell, which was left by those who escorted the prisoners of war along the way.

The werewolf's keen sense of smell allowed Ji Xun to smell an accurate route.

However, he did not dare to look down on the senior leaders of the Hydralisk Legion.

 In the mist, Ji Xun suddenly stopped.

He suddenly realized that it was too obvious for him to follow this way, and thought in his mind: "The source of the smell is in the northeast. If I were a senior member of the Hydralisk Legion, I would definitely set up a trap and wait for others to follow the smell to rescue. Not only would I not be able to find it, If you hit someone, you may fall into a trap."

The method of scent tracking is too direct. If the enemy can't think of it, then General Hermann has learned a lesson.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun quickly thought about the recently obtained information.

He quickly deduced based on the direction of the previous battle explosion: "If you are rounded up, the most likely directions to escape will be in these directions. But you have to be careful of being rounded up by others, and the tracking system card master can only choose to do everything possible. A potentially dangerous area. Therefore, if Aunt Qin really comes, the most likely escape direction she will choose is the 'Pha Feng Temple'."

Ji Xun knew Qin Rushi’s character very well. "I am the world" also allowed him to think from the character's perspective, so he quickly deduced a coordinate.

Thinking of this, he changed his method without hesitation and headed straight towards that goal.

Ji Xun did not expect that his crisis intuition would allow him to avoid a death choice.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Half of my feet were stuck in the soft muddy water, and the water broke softly along the way.

As we go deeper, the fog around us becomes thicker and thicker.

Visibility in the swamp is very low, and the luminous algae provide a weak light source, reflecting a pale green, cotton-like dense poisonous fog.

 Poison mist is a compound toxin.

 The deeper it goes, the greater the toxicity.

This is a deadly threat that even advanced gas masks cannot completely filter.

 But at this moment Ji Xun was completely fine.

 Another hidden attribute after being infected with [Blood Plague] also came into play at this moment.

Toxins are theoretically a branch of plague, and from a personal level, blood plague originates from outer gods. This is a more violent blood poison pollution than any conventional toxin!

 So by accident, Ji Xun’s toxin resistance is very high now.

Even if he breathes with his mouth and nose exposed, these toxins will not have any negative impact on his body.

However, poisonous fog is only the best way to deal with the dangers deep in the swamp.

 The monster is.

 Overlord blood leeches, water lizards, green-scaled flower pythons, devil crocodiles, spotted poisonous spiders, parasitic human-faced beetles, ground-burrowing worms, corpse-scented devil flowers and various poisonous creatures can be seen everywhere.

 They are predators in the poisonous fog.

They will appear from unexpected places to hunt prey that enters their territory.

Ji Xun had previously obtained detailed information about these swamp creatures from adventurers' information, and was familiar with their living habits.

 Coming at a high speed, avoid it if you can.

This way we didn’t cause too much trouble.

 But even so, a lot of people were killed.

 At this moment, Ji Xun suddenly stopped.

The flying knife lingering around him picked off the fluorescent leech that was sucking blood on his skin, and dropped a drop of green blood.

The blood fell on the water plants in the exposed air, and immediately corroded the fresh green water plants into a ball of mud.

This is a "new species" that has not appeared in the intelligence.

It just attached to my body and easily bit through my own body-protecting aura.

If it wasn't for the [Blood Plague] that gave the leech some indigestion, Ji Xun wouldn't have even noticed it from beginning to end.

 He looked at the corpse of the insect that had been broken into two parts, and then at the mist that had made him unable to see his fingers, and his brows became more and more serious.

There are so many secrets buried in the Plague Swamp that even the top card masters dare not go deep into it.

Ji Xun didn't think that if he was a fourth-level person, he would definitely be able to get out alive if he continued to wander around here.

Moreover, even if Qin Ru is really nearby.

 Finding her like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun glanced sideways and decisively took out a fireworks launcher.

 Having arranged some back-ups, he fired the trigger toward the sky!

  “咻~”

 “Bump!”

　　Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky.

This is a special signaling firework. The light can penetrate the fog and travel far.

Ji Xun knew the risks of doing so.

Even if Qin Ru is nearby, maybe she can see it.

 But similarly, the enemy will definitely see it.

Ji Xun thought about it, but still did it.

The first signal fireworks did not attract anyone, only a few light-hating monsters.

Ji Xun changed the place again and rang again.

Or not.

Change again

 The map in his mind was divided into grids, one grid at a time.

 Theoretically speaking,

If Qin Ru is really in this area, he will always see it if he continues to test like this.

 The ultimate risk is whether Qin Ru finds him first or whether the enemy comes first.

Just when Ji Xun was setting off fireworks, deep in the fog, a pale and obviously injured figure fled hastily in the swamp.

As she ran, she looked back at the mist from time to time, her crystal eyes full of coldness.

  Qin Ruzhi knew that he had been marked by the card master of the tracking system.

 She has tried various methods but failed to get rid of the enemy's perception. She has given up hope.

What's more, two seventh-level enemies came among the enemies.

 Happily he managed to save his life in the previous battle, but he had already used up a lot of energy.

 As long as it is blocked again, there will be no chance of survival.

 The only hope Qin Ru could think of to break the situation was to lead the enemy to this more dangerous area.

 Use risk to fight risk.

  But this approach has little hope.

 The risk that can pose a fatal threat to the seventh level is even worse for her.

However, just when Qin Ru was about to bet on a slim chance of luck, whether he could encounter a swamp monster that could kill the enemy and survive before the power of the spell was exhausted.

suddenly!

 A bunch of fireworks exploded in the sky.

Although the red light of the fireworks was obscured by the mist and was almost imperceptible, Qin Ru's expression froze when he saw it.

As soon as her thoughts changed, she suddenly thought of something, and she screamed in her heart: "That guy is here?!"

This kind of customized fireworks is the signal previously agreed with Ji Xun.

 She knew that Ji Xun was undercover in the enemy camp.

 But I didn’t expect that he would come to find me in this way!

 Contrary to what Ji Xun expected, Qin Ru came to the Plague Swamp earlier than the Hydralisk Legion.

 When she discovered that adventurers from the Southern Continent had entered the swamp, she also tried to contact Ji Xun, but "Joel" had disappeared.

Just give up.

 After all, Qin Ru came to find the relics left by the ancestors of the Bai family.

 She did not want Ji Xun to participate in such a dangerous exploration.

"This guy"

  Qin Ru was looking at the fireworks, his crystal eyes full of complexity.

 She understands Ji Xun’s character very well.

If that guy could guess that he was here, he would never have imagined that his situation must be a desperate one.

 But the guy did it without hesitation.

Using a goal as big as fireworks, he loudly announced that he was here to help!

Being able to risk life and death to help is such a friendship that no one can bear any blame.

But

 The enemies we are chasing are two seventh-level enemies and a large group of elites!

 “How reckless!”

Qin Rushi felt angry in his heart.

 But now is not the time to think about useless things.

 She rushed towards the fireworks decisively.

  She knew that if she really wanted to look for him, she would definitely lure the pursuing enemies there, which would directly put Ji Xun in a very dangerous situation.

 But Qin Rushi also knew the character of that guy very well.

Absolutely rational and crazy and stubborn.

 When he planned to use this method, he must have known the result.

 Before waiting for anyone, he will definitely keep trying.

 Would never back down.

 And if you don’t go, the enemy will definitely be attracted too!

As Qin Ru rushed forward, various thoughts flashed through his mind, but most of them were fragmentary thoughts: "What a nonsense."

She thought that she would quickly go over and show her face, and then immediately tell Ji Xun to retreat quickly.

 She leads the enemy away again.

 Perhaps we can save one.

As he was running, suddenly, an idea flashed in Qin Rushi's mind.

Her expression instantly brightened: "Oh, that's right, that secret technique!"

 In the past, if I wanted to survive alone, I could only gamble on a bit of luck.

 There is no other way.

 But now, looking at the fireworks, it seems there is!

Although Ji Xun is at the fourth level, Ji Qin Ru is very familiar with his abilities.

In terms of hidden life-saving abilities, Ji Xun's is better than the average fifth- and sixth-level card masters.

 Especially in this swamp.

Thinking of this, her speed increased greatly again and she rushed towards the fireworks.

Ji Xun has lit up the fourth fireworks.

Although it caused a lot of trouble, his intuition told him that he needed to do this.

 Just when he thought he was going to change places and release the fireworks for the fifth time.

 The turning point has come.

Suddenly I saw a figure rushing through the thick fog in the distance.

 “Enemy? Or”

  The fireworks left shadows near them, and Ji Xun was not afraid of being discovered.

His thoughts had just changed and before he could see his face clearly, he recognized that graceful figure at a glance.

 “It’s really Aunt Qin!”

Ji Xun was both happy and surprised.

 Happily, my calculation was correct and I finally encountered it.

What was surprising was that seeing Qin Ru's hasty escape expression, the situation was probably very bad.

However, just as his thoughts turned around, Qin Rushi also saw the marks left near the fireworks.

 She changed direction and rushed towards the mist at high speed.

Ji Xun quickly dived out of the water.

He happened to bump into Qin Rushi who was coming in a hurry.

The deputy leader of the revolutionary army looked at Ji Xun who appeared in front of him at the critical moment, with a complicated look in his crystal eyes.

But she also knew very well that even if the plan she thought of was dangerous, as long as she asked, this guy would definitely agree without hesitation.

 So she did not waste her words at all and said urgently: "I have been marked! But I have a newly learned secret method that can parasitize in your body."

Ji Xun listened and said without hesitation: "Okay!"

Since Qin Ruzhi didn't ask him to escape.

Then this plan has a chance to survive.

 No matter what it is, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely try it.

As he said that, before Ji Xun could figure out what the plan was, he saw Qin Ru shedding all his clothes on the ground as if she was shedding his skin.

 Ji Xun felt the scent of a mature woman entering his nostrils before he could take a clear look at that naked figure.

 Very close.

 Suddenly, I felt a pain in my neck, as if I had been bitten.

 Looking again, the white flowers disappeared in a flash.

Qin Rushi was sucked into the wound on his shoulder and disappeared out of thin air.

Ji Xun looked at his pupils and thought, "The Bai family's 'Secret Fetal Parasitism Technique'?"

This spell is no stranger to him.

I have encountered it several times before and was even parasitized by it.

oh!

 I almost forgot that Qin Ru was inherited from the Bai family, so it was right for him to learn this secret technique.

The two of them only exchanged this sentence. Ji Xun already knew what Qin Ru was thinking.

 She was marked.

 Only by using this parasitism technique can one avoid the mark.

 Furthermore, we need someone who can escape with her in a parasitic state.

 Although the risk of the plan is not small.

But in the complex terrain of the Plague Swamp, Ji Xun might not be able to be overtaken so easily if he just wanted to escape.

 Chin Rushi saved his life more than once.

 It’s a great blessing to be able to help.

Ji Xun never thought about any risks from beginning to end.

He ignored the pile of clothes on the ground and retreated to the retreat he had found before without hesitation, disappearing into the mist in the blink of an eye.
