Part 2: The Dust of History Chapter 577: Lamp Spirit and Bandages


The abyss is huge.
They are both demon species.
But there are tens of thousands of ethnic groups within it.
Therefore, the demon groups are not united at all.
There may even be years of war.
This situation has led to many old grudges between powerful races.
For example, the two major races mentioned in the information in Ji Qiu's hand -
Magic angels and demon dragons!
These two types of demons are typical examples of frequent wars between them because their territories are too close.
It just so happens that these two types of demons are both very powerful.
Neither side can do anything to the other.
Therefore, a dynamic balance is formed over a long period of time.
It is normal to have a war every now and then.
So in general.
The outbreak of war between these two races would not be classified as 'special intelligence'.
But the situation this time is a little special.
You know.
The magic angels and the demon dragons have just ended a 30-year war!
As per usual.
Both sides will enter a tacit period of rest and recuperation.
After all, none of them wants to be taken advantage of by other forces because of each other's consumption of military strength.
And mixed in the abyss.
This kind of thing is everywhere.
A powerful race like this that has survived in the abyss for who knows how many years will not make such a fundamental mistake.
What's even more bizarre is.
The intensity of this war was very high.
Not only the cannon fodder that were previously sent out to consume the enemy's lower-level troops are moving in full force.
Even high-level demons who usually wouldn't take action easily appeared on the battlefield in large numbers.
As soon as the two sides started fighting, they showed a life-and-death attitude .
This really surprised the surrounding forces.
The war begins.
Rumors were flying everywhere.
Some people believe that this war may be related to the game that the Abyss has been playing at a higher level.
But no one can explain the real reason behind the sudden fight between the two races.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.
Fighting between two large ethnic groups often results in the elimination of many surrounding forces.
Intelligence shows.
The magic angels and the demon dragons have begun to clear out other organizations near their territories at the same time.
Even passing travelers will not be spared.
Therefore, the territories of both sides were marked with bright red warnings.
It means never entering unless necessary.

This afternoon.
Ji Qiu also picked up a map.
Use landmarks for comparison.
He discovered that the territories of the two major races were quite far away from the coordinates he obtained through the spell sensor.

"So it was just a coincidence?"
His expression was somewhat uncertain.
After a while.
I saw that my self-talk still didn't yield any clues.
Ji Qiu laughed at himself.
Next, check for other intelligence.
This work took him a full two hours.
Fortunately, he is very strong.
Can sense the location of the demon patrol from a long distance.
Thus, it can be avoided through the invisibility of the Dharma.
Until midnight.
He then sorted out the information at hand.
Looking at the sack-sized documents.
Ji Qiu was very emotional.
These things are worth a fortune!
"Fortunately, I brought enough universal scrolls of the Abyssal Language..."
He rested for a while.
Suddenly he squeezed one of the documents.
This document records an official secret mission from the Castle of Shaqiri——
This mission requires a large amount of Imp's Bones and Cold Ripple Flowers to be collected.
The former was obviously what Ji Qiu saw on the bank of the river.
As for Leng Lianhua.
He guessed that it was related to the inexplicable sense of crisis he felt when walking by the river!

"The master of the sect was right..."
He sighed inwardly.
I immediately thought:
"Since this river is not inherently dangerous, I can just cross it and continue looking for people from the Self-Help Association..."
Do it when you think of it.
This is Ji Qiu's style.
He immediately left Shaqiri Castle under the cover of night.
Rushed all the way towards the coordinates provided by the spell sensor.
But before he could take many steps.
Roger's voice suddenly rang in his mind:
"Don't leave so quickly! I have a mission for you!"
Ji Qiu slammed on the brakes.
He hummed a little nervously .
He didn't dare to ask why he suddenly had a mission.
But Roger said in a deep voice:
"The intelligence you just collected involves three people. All three of them were marked as dangerous by the intelligence dealer. Moreover, they are not creatures from the abyss, but visitors from other worlds..."
"My mission for you is very simple - find out the details of these three people in the shortest possible time. The more detailed the information, the better..."
"I don't care what means you use, as long as you can complete the task, this will be the first level you encounter in this trial!"
"It should be noted that I will not help you in any way during this mission. You need to complete everything by yourself. Just like I said at the beginning, treat me as if I don't exist!"
After saying this, Roger stopped talking.
It was not a whim for him to temporarily issue the trial mission.
But it was a plan that had been made long ago.
Ever since they entered the abyss.
Roger discovered that Ji Qiu's adventure experience was even worse than he had imagined!
This made him a little worried.
Although this guy managed Qingquan Mountain quite well when I was away.
But management is management and risk is risk.
A strong person who has extremely strong strength but lacks practical experience is actually very dangerous.
Roger asked himself.
A martial artist like Ji Qiu, if both sides are of equal strength, can kill three opponents by himself!
It's a matter of adventure and combat experience.
Roger actually always felt a little guilty about this.
He is the suzerain.
It is difficult for the subordinates to get real training.
He had plucked out all the monsters with names on the planet Mystra.
They can crush the remaining scum with their strength and realm alone.
Naturally, it will not have the effect of exercise.
Therefore, this time is the trial of the abyss.
Roger must give Ji Qiu a good training!

And the other side.
Ji Qiu also quickly understood Roger's thoughts——
He is just inexperienced, not stupid.
He flipped through the stack of documents as quickly as possible.
The three mission targets were quickly locked onto.
When I was looking through the information before.
Ji Qiu noticed these three people.
Under the paper markings of the intelligence dealers.
These three individuals are the most threatening individuals near the Castle of Shakiri.
What all three of them have in common is not just that they are incredibly dangerous.
And people know very little about them.

The first often wanders the wilderness north of Castle Shakiri.
If someone passing by meets him.
He will call himself 'the genie'.
You can fulfill the other person's wish.
Many people who meet the genie feel that they are lucky.
The genie did fulfill their wishes.
But the strange thing is.
These people will disappear from everyone's sight as quickly as possible.
Whether he is a native resident of Shaqiri Castle or a foreign traveler.
therefore.
People still have a strong sense of vigilance against the djinn.
This guy is also the one who has stayed here the longest among the three.
It's been more than 5 years.

Another guy named Bandage lives in an empty valley southwest of the castle.
There are no plants or animals there.
Even the activated magma that is common in the abyss is pitifully rare.
The bandage appeared here half a year ago.
No one knew why he came.
No one knew what he was going to do.
Anyone approached him.
The bandage will warn the other party:
"Don't come near, I'll become unhappy..."
People who hear this will find it strange -
What does it have to do with me if you become unlucky or lucky?
It was only later.
The demons paid the price with their blood to find out that this guy was a stutterer!
This guy's punctuation is very problematic!
The original intention of the bandage should be:
"Don't come near me, you'll become unhappy..."
Most of the demons who didn't take his words seriously died miserably.
Therefore, this guy attracted enough hatred when Xia Qirui reported it.
It is said that there is a demon who is about to be promoted and wants to secretly attack Bandage.
The result was that it turned into ashes in an instant.
And in this process.
Bandage himself was said to be sitting there quietly without making any movement.
Onlookers even speculated that he didn't pay attention to this.
This guy is considered the most dangerous of the three.

As for the last one.
It appeared in the Shaqiri Castle a week ago.
The man claimed to be from another universe.
He is a time-travel warlock.
His strength is very strong.
But due to language barrier.
No one could communicate with him smoothly.
And this person's vigilance is too strong.
Both parties are in the process of communication.
This guy suddenly cast spells several times in a row.
It is said that he only uses instant spells.
Moreover, the nature of the spell contains forbidden elements.
The lethality is outrageous.
After an unsuccessful communication.
This guy is completely on the official blacklist of the Castle of Shaqiri.
His current location is unknown.
But it must still be in this territory.
Ji Qiu felt that this must be the most troublesome one among the three.
He also noticed some loopholes in this set of intelligence:
Since the Xiaqiri demons cannot communicate with the so-called time-travel sorcerer, how do they know his origins and identity?
Especially after a conflict.
How can they conclude that this guy did not leave but stayed here?
This means that the intelligence dealers must have other information!
It's just that this information is not written on paper.
Ji Qiu needs to explore and discover it on his own.

The first person Ji Qiu went to look for was the lamp spirit wandering in the northern wilderness.
This guy's message is pretty clear.
After spending two days of hard work.
Ji Qiu also met the lamp god in a rocky forest as he wished.
The appearance of the Lamp God is similar to the description in the intelligence.
His lower body tended to be illusory.
With blue or purple flames.
His upper body is similar to that of a mature human man.
Bluish-purple skin, fiery red eyes, and a body of strong muscles.

"I have been observing you for a long time, human! You paced back and forth in the wilderness with an anxious look on your face. You must have encountered some trouble!"

"Don't worry, the djinn has mercy on the world. As long as you ask me for help, I will consider helping you."
After finishing the opening remarks.
The genie said bluntly.
Ji Qiu saw that his performance was beginning to show results.
Then pretend to be surprised:
"Really? Are you really as omnipotent as they say?"
"Of course, the lamp god will not deceive any kind believer..."
The other party said with a pleasant face:
"Pray to me, come on! Tell me your difficulties and your needs, or just tell me your wishes..."
Ji Qiu smiled.
Then he spoke very clearly:
"I hope you, the lamp god, can fight with me..."
"As you wish... No no no! What are you talking about? Take that back! Now! Right now! You will die!"
The genie shouted in panic:
"I can't possibly fulfill such an unreasonable wish!"
"I'll give you the last 10 seconds. Say 'I regret it' quickly! Only in this way can you save your life!"
Ji Qiu just smiled and said nothing.
In an instant.
The lamp god's expression became extremely ferocious:
"So you came here on purpose to cause trouble, then don't blame me for being ruthless..."
Next second.
Hundreds of spiked claws emerged from the Djinn's lower body.
A foul smelling wind blew in my face!
Ji Qiu shook his sleeves calmly.
The four great Dharmas come out in response!
After 30 seconds.
On Roger's data column.

"Hint: Your follower Ji Qiu killed the Centipede God (Lv135/Elite)"

"You gained a small amount of XP..."

"What..."
"Is this thing worthy of being called a lamp spirit?"
Roger yawned.
Seeing Ji Qiu accomplish a goal so easily and calmly.
He also felt much more relieved.
Now.
He turned his attention elsewhere.


abyss.
The eastern wilderness of Zeru Territory.
After killing the fake genie.
Ji Qiu harvested a lot of spoils.
It is estimated that they were obtained by tricking others into praying and then performing some kind of evil ritual.
It’s just that the person who was deceived was of average strength.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been captured by this centipede monster!
Like autumn.
He could tell the true and false of the genie with the help of judgment at a glance.
It's normal to kill it.
The first battle was a victory.
Ji Qiu is not proud or complacent.
He rushed to the southwest of Shaqiri Castle without stopping.
Along the way.
He encountered several demons who challenged him.
He held back and didn't do anything.
After a while.
He successfully found the valley where the bandage lived.
This place is really easy to find.
The reason why he is placed in second place.
The main reason is that Ji Qiu himself is quite interested in the lamp god.
Who knew it was a fake.
This left him greatly disappointed.
I also lost some thoughts about the bandaged man who lived in seclusion in the valley.
Ji Qiu walked in the rubble with big strides.
The terrain here is very bad.
It doesn't look like a place where people can live at all.
However, several caves were artificially excavated nearby.
This is probably where Bandage Brother lives.
"Don't come near! I'll become! Unfortunate!"
Without waiting for Ji Qiu to walk in.
Just then a stumbling sound came from the cave.
Ji Qiu understood.
It's probably the guy with the bandages.
Now.
He said in a deep voice:
"I heard about your situation, which is very similar to that of a friend of mine, so I came to see you. Don't worry, I mean no harm!"
After saying.
He raised his hands.
He took several steps back to show his determination.
"Do you have friends who are in a similar situation to me?"
The voice of the man in the cave suddenly became fluent.
He asked impatiently:
"who is he?"
"Where is he?"
"Can you tell me about him?"
Three sentences in a row.
The sound is getting closer!
Ji Qiu looked up.
Then I saw a person wrapped in bandages stuck at the entrance of the cave.
That moment.
A strong feeling of nausea came over him.

at the same time.
Roger, who was busy refining the Demonic Dragon Abyss, suddenly felt a pain in his chest!
"Wow!"
He began to spit out blood in large mouthfuls!
on the data bar.

"Warning: You have encountered a 'God-level curse'!"

"Curse resistance saving throw failed!"

"You begin to cough up blood... expect this to last 15 seconds!"

"There are 10 seconds left until the next curse judgment!"
