…
There were no torches in the secret passage.
But even pure darkness.
Ji Qiu can also determine the enemy's position and number by listening to sounds and sensing air currents.
What's more, glowing moss grows everywhere in the dungeon.
They illuminated the hideous outline of the bamboo beast hidden in the shadows.
Ji Qiu stretched his muscles.
His expression remained calm.
“Not as many as I thought…”
Similar to the previous situation.
Behind the roar of thousands of horses galloping is actually just a patrol of bamboo beasts numbering no more than 20 people.
The difference is.
These bamboo beasts all have blade demon cavalry under their bellies.
The enemy surrounded the two men from the front and back.
They also seemed to sense the powerful aura emanating from Ji Qiu.
Under the command of a Blade Demon.
The bamboo beasts and the blade demons covered each other and approached layer by layer.
Ji Qiu stood where he was.
There was no movement from beginning to end.
The boy looked a little strange.
But even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't.
The last round of being chased by the blade demon had consumed the last of his energy.
Now he couldn't even maintain his invisibility.
Not to mention going into battle to kill the enemy.
So he could only place his hopes on Ji Qiu.
…
The blade demon is approaching step by step.
A teeth-grinding friction sound came from the intersection of the not-so-empty tunnels.
That was the sound of the blade demons' backstabs rubbing against the rocks as they walked.
This action shows that the Blade Demons are gathering strength.
Only in this state.
The weak backstabs on their backs will become as hard as steel in excitement.
Gradually.
The enemy has approached to a distance of about ten meters.
It's time.
The heavy breath exhaled by the bamboo beast was enough to spray on Ji Qiu and the young man's faces.
"hiss……"
A bamboo beast made a sharp sound.
Next second.
Ji Qiu suddenly raised his eyelids:
"Finally got away..."
call!
The wind suddenly changed.
It was a blade demon that suddenly attacked using the power of shadow!
He rushed to Ji Qiu's waist like lightning.
The sharp spear in his hand stabbed forward fiercely.
The backstab on the back was also folded 90 degrees like a mechanical version.
He strangled Ji Qiu's neck!
There was a flash of panic in the boy's eyes.
Immediately.
A burst of emerald green light flashed in his pupils!
…
"Four Martial Arts: Dharma Azure Dragon"!
…
When Ji Qiu confirmed that the other two demons from the Sulfur Chamber of Commerce had left them behind and walked away.
He finally stopped hiding his strength.
The moment the Azure Dragon Dharma Image burst out, it slammed the aggressive assassin against the wall.
And it smashed a hole about half a meter deep in the solid stone wall!
As for the Blade Demon himself, naturally no trace of him was left.
The next moment.
Amid the wailing of blade demons and bamboo beasts.
Ji Qiu transformed into a blue dragon and swept through the enemy camp.
It only took seventeen seconds.
All 20 blade demons turned into cold corpses.
This scene naturally had a huge impact on the young boy.
He has fought against the Blade Demon.
Know the other party's background.
With his strength, he can certainly destroy this team of enemies.
But that's when you're in good shape.
And it’s definitely not that easy.
After all, the average quality of the Blade Demon Knight is at least extraordinary.
And it can be crushed so easily.
I'm afraid it's only the legendary immortal realm!
Combined with his identity as a martial artist...
The boy couldn't help but gesture excitedly.
Ji Qiu was very calm.
With his strength, it is really easy to kill the Blade Demon.
The reason why he acted late was that he was afraid of the demon warlock.
After encountering the bandage brother.
Ji Qiu has become very cautious.
And facing the young man who was talking nonsense.
Ji Qiu smiled slightly.
He then tore open the scroll of proficiency in languages ​​that he had taken from the sect master.
Under the influence of arcane forces.
The two of them can finally understand each other!
…
"Do you know the way out of here? Or the general direction?"
Ji Qiu was not in a hurry to ask about the other party's background.
Instead, they decided to move to a safe place first:
"Or is there any place nearby that you feel is safe enough?"
The young man hurriedly asked:
"I know the general direction, but the west is the chaotic zone. There are fewer blade demons there. Although there are other demons, they are crazier and less organized, so they are easier to deal with."
Speaking of.
He showed Ji Qiu a way.
Ji Qiu did not neglect either.
He picked up the boy and ran wildly.
Not long.
They left the Blade Demon's territory.
We came to an underground desert with extremely soft soil.
The geological structure here is very peculiar.
The dome above is the solid crust.
Below is endless quicksand.
Many monsters are hiding under the quicksand, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
What's even more bizarre is.
It's clearly the underground world.
The wind and sand here are not much different from those in the real desert.
The strong wind raised a lot of dust.
The only difference might be the dark crust above our heads.
The glowing metals or gems embedded in the earth's crust dot the darkness into a starry curtain.
…
Ji Qiu found a corner sheltered from the wind and put the boy down.
And sent away the nearby monsters.
Immediately following.
He gave the boy some more energy.
There is a slight difference between the Qi of a martial artist and that of a Qi cultivator.
But essentially they all have the function of stimulating the acupoints.
With the help of Ji Qiu.
The boy's condition finally improved from exhaustion.
Not long.
The boy opened his eyes.
He gave Ji Qiu a grateful look.
Ji Qiu waved his hand to indicate that it was just a piece of cake.
Then the two began to talk.
We didn't talk much.
Ji Qiu could conclude that the young man in front of him was the member of the self-help association he was looking for.
His name is Xiaofeng.
Nicknamed Wind Swordsman in the self-help group.
According to Xiaofeng.
When they arrived at the abyss, they were attacked by many demons.
But in order to destroy the branches of the Mother Tree of the Abyss.
The members of the self-help group tried their best to break out.
And in this process.
They were forced to separate.
Among them, Tie Jianxian and two of his brothers took on the task of destroying the branches of the Abyss Mother Tree.
Others cover for them.
Most of them were drawn into a deeper and endless abyss.
Xiaofeng is one of them.
When he woke up from the abyss storm that swept everything.
We are already in the Blade Demon's territory.
He doesn't know language but he is human.
Naturally, they were chased by the Blade Demon as soon as they met.
When I met Ji Qiu.
He has been hunted by the Blade Demon for more than a month!
Xiaofeng’s strength is still okay.
Plus the speed is good.
Can barely deal with the astonishing number of blade demons.
But the terrible thing is.
In a damn place like the abyss.
It is very difficult for Qi practitioners to replenish the extraordinary energy they need.
Except for those who are as powerful as Ji Qiu Roger who can generate spiritual energy by himself.
Like Xiaofeng .
When you come to a place where there is no air, you will feel blind.
The world of Blade Demon is full of barriers and seals.
Xiaofeng couldn't find the exit.
And all around are various monsters and demons.
He was forced to expend energy on fighting.
Days go by.
His energy was running out.
Finally, we have reached the end of the road.
He was the one who took the initiative to kill the corpses of the previous wave of blade demons .
Unfortunately, he didn't get away yet.
He accidentally ran into Ji Qiu and his group.
…
"I see……"
Ji Qiu touched his chin:
"It's really too hard for you to endure this at your age..."
Xiao Feng smiled bitterly:
"After all, there is no other way."
"When everyone dies, age is no longer an excuse. Someone has to take responsibility..."
"Unfortunately, my strength is too weak. I don't know if the boss and the others can succeed."
Ji Qiu patted his shoulder:
"Don't worry, they'll be fine."
"Next I'll take you out of here and find them!"
His tone was very firm.
Xiaofeng was surprised and happy.
Immediately.
Xiao Feng asked again with some caution:
"You? Why are you going to look for our boss?"
Ji Qiu laughed and said:
"Don't be afraid, this is because of a mission. Um, do you remember the adult you met in Dragon City?"
"He ordered me to come to you."
Xiao Feng was surprised:
"he?"
Ji Qiu asked back:
"how?"
Xiao Feng was about to ask, "Isn't that lady a beautiful big sister?"
In an instant.
He remembered the prayer Ji Qiu had silently recited before.
Part of it includes the name of the "Dragon of Time and Universe" that the older sister told them!
That’s right!
As for the elder sister...
Xiaofeng shook his head.
Although a bit weird.
But he felt that he had no right to ask about the other person's gender...
"Nothing, I just realized it now - no wonder you have a particularly friendly smell!"
Xiaofeng said obediently.
Ji Qiu didn't care.
He asked quickly:
"Can you tell me about the situation around here?"
"In addition to the Blade Demon, you said there are many other demons that have lost their minds?"
Xiao Feng nodded and said:
…
"In theory, this is the kingdom of the Blade Demons, but in reality, most of the underground world is occupied by an astonishing number of crazy demons. In particular, the roads leading to the surface are filled with them, so the Blade Demons in the lower levels cannot leave..."
…
"I can't confirm the species and origins of these demons, but roughly there are three types of demons and two types of monsters. Thanks to being hunted, I have a better understanding of the distribution of these monsters..."
…
"I don't know how to leave, but I have gathered some information - it is said that in the core area where one kind of demons gather, there is a huge stone tablet with a map of the entire Blade Kingdom engraved on it. If we can find that stone tablet, we should be able to find the exit smoothly..."
…
A summary of the information provided by Xiaofeng.
Ji Qiu decided to continue going down.
Regardless of whether Bandage Brother is out of control.
He didn't want to get involved anymore.
The right thing to do is to find another way out.
If it really doesn't work, he can just call on the master to cancel the trial...
Thinking so.
Ji Qiu restarted the spell sensor again.
Who knows this time.
He discovered that the coordinates had actually moved deeper into the endless abyss!
From the direction point of view.
Maybe he's also in the underground world!
It's just that the coordinates are too vague.
He is not a wizard.
You can only get a rough direction.
"Anyway, it's much closer than before..."
"According to the Sect Master, his spell coordinates are placed on the leader of the Self-Help Association, the boss that Xiaofeng mentioned..."
"Could it be that the demiplane that the Lord Sect Leader mentioned as a springboard is right below the Blade Kingdom?"
Thinking so.
Ji Qiu set off decisively.
The two crossed the desert under the guidance of Xiaofeng.
Then, at a giant underground metal tree, follow the underground river deep into the earth's core.
Not long.
They arrived at the gathering area of ​​mad demons mentioned by Xiaofeng.
Here we are.
Xiaofeng became very cautious.
As he walked, he reminded:
…
"Should we go in stealth?"
…
"In fact, invisibility doesn't work well, because there are too many crazy demons down there. Their symptoms are very similar to those of the monsters on our planet, but their madness is much more serious... They have a very sensitive nose. The last time I went in, I almost couldn't get out!"
…
"And more! These crazy demons are often dormant and can easily be mistaken for statues. Only when living things approach will they suddenly attack and hurt people, and they will appear in large numbers at once!"
…
Ji Qiu pondered and said:
"Don't be afraid, I'll go over and take a look first!"
Speaking of.
He asked Xiaofeng to stay where he was.
He plunged headfirst into the cave full of stalactites.
As soon as I entered the cave.
Ji Qiu sensed the aura of many demons.
His footsteps just sounded.
Suddenly.
The demonic aura in the cave has become particularly strong—
Countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up.
In Ji Qiu's surprised eyes.
The stalactites behind him actually turned into demons!
"roar!"
The "mad demon" that Xiaofeng mentioned pounced on Ji Qiu like crazy.
What's even more terrifying is.
A large number of demons also emerged from the nearby caves.
In the blink of an eye.
Ji Qiu's surroundings were filled with demons!
Fortunately, this scene is terrifying.
But Ji Qiu is a quasi-immortal master after all.
The Azure Dragon's image suddenly lit up.
Ji Qiu resolutely embarked on a long journey of bullying.
…
…
"Record: Your follower Ji Qiu encountered a massive amount of 'Split Demons (Frenzy)'"
…
"Record: Your follower Ji Qiu encountered a large number of 'Big Demons (Crazy State)'"
…
…
"Record: Your follower Ji Qiu killed 24 great demons."
…
"Your Justice Fragment +24"
…
"Your follower Ji Qiu killed 36 schism demons."
…
"Your girl's personality fragment +36"
…
…
Two months later.
Demonic Dragon Abyss.
Roger, who was approaching the final step of refining, suddenly opened his eyes on a whim.
After exchanging enough character fragments.
on the data bar.
…
"Your girl status has reached 0.49 (cannot be increased)"
…
"You have acquired a new specialty: Girl's Help"
…
"Girls' Help: When you are in need, you can ask for help from any race that meets the definition of a girl, and they will have a very high probability of helping you do anything for free;
…
Limit: 3 times per day
…
"Your righteousness has accumulated to 0.22."
…
"You have acquired a new feat: Righteous Backstab"
…
"Backstab of Justice: When you use trickery to gain favor with evil targets and then attack them from behind, you will gain a one-time power bonus of 5000%;
…
Note: Favorability must be over 60 points.
…
"The girl's status has been raised from 0.314 to 0.49... not bad!"
Roger glanced over.
There is a look of regret in his eyes:
"But the Justice Status has only been raised from 0.135 to 0.22..."
"Ji Qiu is still not very good!"
"If you work harder, the master can change to a new specialty!"
…
