The plane of destiny, the jungle area northwest of Locke Fortress.
Large tracts of low trees gathered together, looking like an endless dark brown ocean from a distance. This was originally a plain, but after being eroded by dark magic, a large number of black vines, conifer trees, and edible trees grew.
Human flowers and other dark plants quickly became a paradise for monsters.
Unlike the Black Forest, the monster lairs in the Black Jungle are hidden deep underground. It is impossible to dig them out. Only through the maze-like tunnels dug by troll earthworms can they be found.
This is also the key defensive area of Locke Fortress Temple, so reserve knights and knights are often dispatched to eliminate monsters that constantly appear to control the expansion of the black jungle.
Zhao Xi only got so much mission information in the temple.
He only knew that the reserve knight team he needed to find had a total of 10 people. The captain was the level 33 holy knight Okleto. He was an experienced veteran. Logically speaking, the entire army should not be wiped out to the point where there was no news at all.
Nothing was sent back.
Looking at the endless jungle sea, Zhao Xi suddenly realized that taking on this mission just for 5,000 merit points seemed to be a mistake - it was like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Normally, this kind of search mission is most suitable for thieves and rangers to complete, and archers can also do it, because these three professions have tracking skills, and rangers can also search with pets, which is very convenient.
However, this task was placed in the temple, and only the Holy Knights could receive it. Zhao Xi secretly cursed-could it be that the family scandal should not be made public?
However, the criticism remains the same. The task still needs to be completed.
In fact, Zhao Xi is not very anxious, because the deadline for this task is three days. He came here today to check first to see if he can find any useful clues.
If you can't find it, then bring the entire team over tomorrow.
Riding the obsidian demon horse Chenxi, Zhao Xi slowly searched along the route marked on the mission map. This mission map was provided by the temple and contained the patrol route map of the missing team.
Unless they change their route temporarily, they will definitely find something if they follow this map.
Zhao Xi was lucky. He searched along the way for almost two hours and found several broken pieces of armor on the edge of a jungle.
These armor fragments seemed to be the result of a heavy blow to the entire armor and were stained with dried blood. It seemed that it had not been very long since the incident happened.
Zhao Xi couldn't help but perked up, and immediately jumped off the Obsidian Demon Horse and put away his mount.
He felt that there were probably more fragments like this. If you search according to the map, you should be able to find the missing reserve knights. This is a clue that must not be missed.
He searched nearby, and sure enough he saw more fragments and blood stains in the jungle nearby.
The blood stains went into the jungle. There were obvious drag marks on the ground, and all the clues pointed to the depths of the jungle.
Ordinary people may not dare to go into the depths of the jungle when they are alone, but Zhao Xiyi is brave and he chased in without thinking.
There are also roads in the dark jungle, and they are dense and intricate. They are more dizzying than the dark forest. However, there are no giant tree canopies that block the sky, so the sunlight can shine through the branches and the light is very bright.
Following the debris left on the ground and the traces left after the battle, Zhao Xi gradually went deeper into the jungle.
He walked for about 20 minutes when a charred open space appeared in front of him, with an unrecognizable corpse lying on it, and several weapons and equipment scattered beside it.
Zhao Xi couldn't help but stare, but he didn't immediately rush forward to see what was going on. Instead, he stopped and pondered for a moment, and suddenly rushed to the right into the dense jungle next to him!
In fact, Zhao Xi had doubts from the very beginning when he discovered those armor fragments, because the clue was too easy and too simple to find, as if it was deliberately placed there for people to discover.
The traces that came along the way further deepened his suspicion. When Zhao Xi saw the body and the equipment, he was already convinced that this was a bait and a trap!
It is simply an insult to my IQ!
Zhao Xi secretly cursed, and he rushed forward like a whirlwind, his sword and shield coming out to sweep across the obstacles in front of him.
Only a moment later, a demon archer appeared in Zhao Xi's sight. The lurker never dreamed that Zhao Xi did not follow the routine at all, and he suddenly fell into a state of panic.
"I've been discovered, come and save me!"
The demon archer retreated in embarrassment while shouting for help at the top of his lungs.
Even if he was given three more courages, he would not dare to engage in melee combat with a paladin. He would have a chance of winning only by keeping a distance.
Player!
Zhao Xi knew as soon as he heard that the opponent was not a real demon, but a player from the Yuehui camp!
Those who can descend to the plane of destiny are not only players from the light camp, but also players from the moonlight camp, but their new identities are all demons.
The demons have tribes and city-states, most of which are located in the rear area. It is said that they level up by hunting the local monsters in the plane of destiny and the NPCs of the human alliance, and the task system is also very large.
Compared with other independent planes, the plane of destiny can accommodate a very large number of players from the two camps. As everyone's levels increase and mission requirements increase, there will inevitably be a violent collision.
Many players from the Light camp have shouted slogans in the forum to defend the alliance against the demons, and players from the Moonlight camp are not to be outdone, claiming to destroy the Human Alliance within three months and win the final victory.
The atmosphere of this camp confrontation has become increasingly intense. Although players on both sides are currently immersed in leveling up and there are very few chances of bumping into each other, what should come will eventually come!
And now, Zhao Xi has met players from the Yuehui camp, or to be more precise, demon players!
The other party was not one person, but a small team. He had already heard the noise coming from nearby.
What is certain is that the disappearance of the reserve knight team yesterday is inseparable from this group of demon players. Useful clues may be found through them.
But if they dare to set traps here, their strength will definitely not be weak!
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhao Xi's mind. He followed the archer and rushed for a few more steps. Suddenly he thrust the Blade of Destiny into the ground and launched the secret skill of Thunder Flame God's Punishment!
boom!
The next moment, hundreds of thunder lights containing destructive power suddenly fell, covering all areas within a radius of 20 meters with Zhao Xi as the center.
That's right, it's 20 meters!
Because just the day before yesterday, Zhao Xi finally raised the proficiency of this powerful secret skill to 100%. After consuming 1 skill point, he upgraded it to advanced level!
Thunder Flame Divine Punishment (Advanced): Secret skill, consumes 200 points of holy power, performs indiscriminate attacks within a radius of 20 meters, holy damage +100, skill cooldown time is 20 minutes!
Compared with the intermediate level, the holy power consumed by the advanced Thunder Flame Divine Punishment has not changed, the attack range has been extended by 5 meters, the constant damage has increased by 20 points to 100, and the cooldown time has been shortened to 20 minutes.
Power doubled!
It turns out that the number of dozens of lightnings has increased by more than five or six times, and the scene of the secret technique being used is simply earth-shattering!
-520!-411!-369!-550!-487!
A full 5 damage figures floated up at the same time. Those demon players who were attracted by the cries for help from their companions were really unlucky, and the screams of despair could not be heard.
System prompt: Successfully kill a demon player, demon hunting honor points +1!
System prompt: Successfully kill a demon player, demon hunting honor points +1!
System prompt: Successfully kill a demon player, demon hunting honor points +1!
System prompt: Successfully kill a demon player, demon hunting honor points +1!
The same prompt appeared four times in succession in Zhao Xi's field of vision, which meant that Zhao Xi killed four opponents instantly in his first shot. The result was brilliant!
However, the rewards for killing demon players are very poor. There are no experience points and no battle points. There are only demon hunting honor points that Zhao Xi still doesn’t know the use of.
