Cataclysm King

Chapter 182 The mysterious man who opened the coffin is here again

　　"Is this...dead?"

Ji Xun looked at Bai Wei, who fell to the ground not far away, and relaxed his fingers holding the Holy Nail of Light and Darkness.

Even though he was in a calm state of mind when facing death, he was a little stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

The mass shootings of cursed spirits and ghost disasters that were overwhelming just now were gone in an instant?

 The level of the lightning technique is so high that it is completely incomprehensible.

Ji Xun was shocked.

But before this feeling had time to sublimate, when he turned around again, Old Man Xu also looked at his sword finger still raised in the air with a confused look on his face.

The disbelieving expression on that old face seemed to speak: Did I do this?

This guy was stared directly at by three pairs of wide eyes. His sallow and wrinkled old face immediately became smug, and his wretched temperament became increasingly difficult to hide.

He seemed to be unwilling to give it a try. He called out "Thunder, thunder, thunder" twice more, but there was no movement at all.

 There is no more tongue-splitting thunder.

There is only one dog king, Old Man Xu, who is off the chain as usual.

Ji Xun looked at the old man's expression and knew that his large experience card had expired again.

 He knew that asking would not yield any results, so he simply saved the effort of opening his mouth.

Even though Catalina was curious, she didn’t dare to ask.

 Che Er has become accustomed to his grandfather's situation.

 The four of them stared at each other in silence.

They looked at each other for several seconds before digesting what happened in front of them.

 Although it’s a bit like dreaming.

 But the fact is that Old Man Xu really solved a very difficult enemy.

 The shock in his heart dissipated after a moment, and a light smile overflowed on Ji Xun's face.

 Sure enough.

 Being able to survive for so long is not only due to luck, but also to unfathomable strength.

 Just now I thought it was almost a fatal situation, but I broke it with one word.

 This method is completely beyond Ji Xun’s current understanding.

 The battle is over.

　A few people looked at each other and felt relieved.

Katrina and Che Er were both seriously injured, so they drank potion and sat cross-legged, meditating to recover.

Ji Xun has many wounds on his body, but fortunately he has a strong body and strong self-healing ability, so it is not serious.

 He was not idle, but went to the body of Bai Wei.

 After confirming that the person was dead, he pulled all the trophies from the body.

 By the way, he absorbed all the extraordinary characteristics of the corpse.

This kind of aristocratic lady carries a lot of good things with her, but Ji Xun looked at them and found that almost none of them could be used by him.

 Scrolls, cards, relics and equipment are all related to the Warlock profession.

But fortunately they are all high-quality products and can be sold for a lot of money.

  Furthermore, a gold-quality devil mark [Spade 10], which has a very small probability of being found, was also analyzed on the corpse.

 This is also a good thing.

This underground palace is of great importance, and sooner or later countless people will inevitably come to explore it.

If you see four living people in the underground palace, it will definitely make people suspicious.

Staying here will only make the risk bigger and bigger.

Moreover, all the divine power in the statue has been absorbed, and Ji Xun does not want to reveal his secret.

He saw that the injuries of Catalina's two seriously injured people had improved slightly, and he said directly: "Let's get out of here first."

A few people nodded, all with the same meaning.

As he spoke, Ji Xun helped Catalina, who was struggling to walk.

 Old man Xu also carried the second car on his back.

Before leaving, Ji Xun looked at the wordless stone tablet again and frowned.

 At the end of the day, I feel like something is missing.

Catalina next to her was also keenly aware of his look and knew what he regretted, so she asked: "Do you want that stone tablet?"

Ji Xun did not deny it, but asked: "What did you see?"

Katrina shook her head slightly: "I can't remember."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun had a helpless expression that was not surprising.

Katrina couldn't help but sigh with emotion in her crystal eyes when she thought of this.

Just now he was forced into a desperate situation by a fierce battle, and later he was shocked beyond measure by Old Man Xu's tongue-splitting thunder. He never had time to reflect on the changes in his body.

Now that she came back to her senses, her face turned rosy due to the surprise that was gradually rising in her heart.

Although I almost died several times in this trial, the rewards have been beyond imagination.

　　It was so big that even a top noble like her would find it difficult to obtain in a lifetime.

I suddenly realized the "magic solution"?

I don’t know if it’s the luck brought about by the Hero Trial.

 But the fact is that I got it.

If the devil's mark is the seed planted in the body, then the devil's solution is the flower that sprouts and blooms.



Katrina herself couldn’t remember what she saw in the stone tablet.

 But she knew that this harvest would bring her immeasurable rewards for a long time to come.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Old Man Xu from the corner of her eye and secretly thought that she had really made the right decision to risk her life this time.

 She glanced at Ji Xun who was helping her again. This guy had also helped her many times.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Old Man Xu said something out of nowhere: "Don't be envious. You have your own opportunities."

Ji Xun glanced at him, thinking that the old man had seen something, and cast an expectant look: "???"

 Old man Xu seemed to know something, but he couldn't tell clearly: "I don't know either. Anyway, it's quite special."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun did not feel disappointed when he heard this, but was thoughtful.

　　There must be a reason why this old man’s boss didn’t take him to inspect the stone monument before.

 He turned to ask: "Senior, did you find what you were looking for?"

 Old man Xu’s eyes became cloudy again.

 After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly but said nothing.

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun didn’t ask any more questions after hearing this.

Before, he thought that Katarina said that the old man was contaminated by the great cause and effect, but he didn't care, but just now he saw the way that those words killed countless evil ghosts and cursed spirits.

He just really felt it.

What the old man is looking for is anything but ordinary.

 He won’t tell you, so it’s best not to ask random questions.

At this time, Old Man Xu thought of something and said seriously: "Also, Mr. Ji Xun, it's best for us to separate now."

Ji Xun looked at his incomprehensible look and asked, "Huh?"

 He thought the old man would tell some surprising reason.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Xu complained quietly: "Every time I meet a naughty boy, nothing good happens."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun’s eyes twitched and he thought to himself: Are you embarrassed to say this?

Katrina also had a strange expression.

This person doesn’t even know now that he is the biggest polluter of luck, right?

 If your life is not hard enough, it is difficult to say that you will see it a second time.

However, Ji Xun didn't say much, and smiled lightly: "Yeah."

 Old man Xu can break the situation this time, but he may not be able to do so next time.

his destiny is tough, but the destiny of others may not be comparable to his.

　　Forcing someone to follow you is a disaster rather than a blessing.

  Anyway, the situation at the ruins of Xia Mu City is now generally clear, so it might as well be separated.

 The four of them walked out of the underground palace all the way.

 As soon as we walked outside the waterfall, we heard the sound of fierce fighting.

 There is already a fight outside.

Visible to the naked eye, Xiamu City is full of gunfire and artillery battles.

This deep pit ruins seems to have attracted a large number of hunters and explorers.

Ji Xun and the others were not too surprised.

The direct descendants of nobles such as Kak and Bai Wei are here. It can be imagined that the major families in the federation attach great importance to this relic.

 Not only the underground palace, there are also many secrets and opportunities in Xia Mu City.

 For example, the blacksmith shop that Ji Xun and the others visited before was a place where relic-level weapons could be forged.

Although the disaster in the city is fatal, it is not necessarily impossible to avoid it with the help of human sea tactics.

Sooner or later this ruin will be discovered.

 After leaving the underground palace, the four of them split into two groups.

 Old man Xu and Mr. Che and his grandson disappeared into the darkness furtively.

Ji Xun doesn’t have to worry about the safety of these two people.

 He was going to the blacksmith's shop to see if his scalpel was forged properly.

Katrina was seriously injured, and she was afraid that she would not be able to leave the ruins alive, so she followed her.

It happened to be that not long after the four of them separated, they saw several men in black chasing a woman covered in moonlight on the street in the distance.

The two of them took a closer look and saw that it was Xie Guozhong and the others from Bureau X and the leader of Silver Moon who was fleeing in embarrassment.

Ji Xun saw the seriously injured leader Yin Yue trying to run into the underground palace, most likely because he wanted to use the statue to heal his injury.

 But unfortunately, the remaining divine power of the statues in the underground palace has been absorbed.

 She was afraid that her injuries could not be cured if she went in.

 Instead, they will be locked up and beaten with dogs.

And now that there is no remains of the angel in the underground palace, there is a high probability that no one can save her anymore.

Ji Xun felt that if he could kill the Silver Moon leader this time, he, an exposed undercover agent, would be less in trouble.

The two of them didn't want to see that level of excitement, so they walked through the alleys of Xia Mu City.

 The number of disasters wandering the streets has significantly decreased, and most of them are attracted by the fighting in various parts of the city.

However, Ji Xun has the aura of "Xia Mucheng Undead Affinity +65", so if they don't take the initiative to die, Calamity will not take the initiative to attack them.

The two of them walked along and soon came to the blacksmith shop in the alley they had been to before.

That tauren calamity is still hammering away.

This seems to be a neutral disaster, and has not been affected by the battle in the city, so it can be forged in the shop peacefully.

Ji Xun saw his scalpel placed on the shelf at a glance.

In the furnace next to it, there are five throwing knives that are burning red but seem to have been roughly formed.

"Huh"

It was at this sight that his eyes lit up.

 It was then that he realized that his scalpel was different from before.

 Attributes have also changed.

 【Relic·Enchanted Plague Doctor Scalpel】

Detailed explanation: Level III mysterious ancient relic; Sharpness +9, Demon Breaking +55%; Neglect +30%, can absorb soul fragments of the dead to enhance the mental imprint of the flying knife, causing mental neglect effect on the target; Ignore Defense +7%, Attachment The spell power increases the defense-ignoring attribute by 100%; the scalpel forged from Rhea's sensitive alloy can absorb spiritual energy to imprint the scalpel, and the imprinter can use his mind power to control the trajectory of the flying knife.

“Is this tempering the relic to restore its original properties?”

Ji Xun guessed as he looked at it.

 Ancient relics are simply antiques that have passed through the years.

Although it still has good extraordinary properties, after all, no item can withstand the erosion of time.

 The extraordinary characteristics will inevitably be lost much more than when the relic is at its peak.

 When Ji Xun got the flying knife before, many of the spells on it were already ineffective.

 But now, at first glance, the scalpel has completely changed.

 It's like sharpening a knife, it suddenly becomes sharper.

The whole body is filled with mysterious mantras that shine brightly.

 The rarity level has also been raised from level I to level III;

  The magic-breaking attribute has been increased from the previous 35% to 55%, which is a fatal threat to high-level card masters;

There is also an additional "ignore +30%" effect, and the hit rate will be higher;

 What’s more important is the entry “ignore defense”, which simply sublimates the entire flying knife!

Ji Xun looked at this brand new property with great expectations.

This scalpel has always been his most handy weapon, killing countless enemies.

　　The dark matter crystal in the coffin was swallowed up in the underground palace before, and the mental power doubled. Now it is no longer a problem to control the telekinetic flying knife.

Not to mention that the attributes of the flying knife have been improved so much.

 Most importantly, he may have six scalpels like this?

The bull-headed blacksmith watched the two people come in, raised his eyebrows, and muttered a few words.

 It's a pity that without the translator, Old Man Xu, Ji Xun and the two of them couldn't understand what it expressed.

 But since it hasn’t been forged yet, the two of them could just wait here.

 After all, this bull-headed blacksmith is also a disaster of unknown level.

 It's quite safe to stay in this blacksmith shop.

Katrina was injured, so she didn't rush to leave and just recovered from her injuries.

Ji Xun was also meditating cross-legged in the corner of the shop, familiar with his previously soaring physical attributes.

This flash, just a few hours.

Ji Xun looked at his pocket watch and saw that the time had passed the time he had looked back before.

The blacksmith shop in the alley is in the core area of ​​Xia Mu City. It will probably take a long time for the hunters from outside to push in.

 No one bothered me.

 But the sound of fighting never stopped.

Ji Xun's eyes looked at the flying knife that was almost completely formed on the forging table from time to time, and his expression became more and more solemn. The more he had to forge it, the more he had a hunch that something might happen.

  It may be difficult for low-level hunters to get close to the city center now, but those top-level card masters can.

If someone really discovers this blacksmith shop, a conflict is about to break out.

 After all, as of now, no matter what the Lion Heart Family, the Bai Family, the X Bureau, or the Silver Moon Sect.

This group of forces entering the ruins almost all have bad intentions.

Moreover, Ji Xun's crisis intuition has become increasingly keen after returning to his werewolf bloodline.

 A good premonition may not come true.

 But when I feel something is going to happen, it works almost every time.

Looking at Ji Xun's frown, Catalina raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

 After a few hours of recovery, her injuries improved a lot and her cheeks turned red.

Ji Xun glanced at her and said directly: "I always feel that I might run into trouble if I continue to stay."

 Catalina's expression suddenly froze when she heard this, and she looked at it seriously.

 But it seems that there is no other choice but to continue to stay.

 However, it is no coincidence that it was when the two of them were having a conversation.

 An unexpected guest suddenly came to the blacksmith shop.

A man in a black cloak whose appearance was completely unclear walked in quietly.

 Seeing this, Ji Xun and his expressions changed.

Ji Xun was shocked that everyone had already entered the shop, and he didn't even notice at all?

 No footsteps, no smell, no breath!

There are almost only two possibilities for this situation, either the person coming is not a human being, or it is a very powerful person!

And even though the other person was covered with a cloak, Ji Xun's photographic memory was still able to recognize him at a glance. Wasn't this cloaked man the same one who quietly opened the coffin and released the angel's remains in the underground palace?

 Those who can descend to the underground palace are all masters.

Ji Xun saw this mysterious man suddenly appear in the blacksmith shop. This was something bad.

 He and Catalina were both wearing gas masks, but it was obvious that the other party also recognized them.

Although he was not sure whether he was an enemy or not, Ji Xun's muscles all over his body were slightly tense at this meeting.

As long as there is the slightest mistake, he will immediately become violent.

 What was surprising was that the cloaked man walked in without even glancing at the two people in the corner. Instead, he walked directly to the forging table and talked with the master blacksmith who turned his head!

 The voice was very calm, and one could not distinguish between male and female.

 But the important thing is, dialogue!

 Talk to Disaster!

"this?"

Ji Xun and Ji Xun looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes, not daring to make any move, but they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Other than old man Xu who has lived for who knows how many years and can understand Talungu, is there anyone else who can understand it?

 What is the situation with this person?

Thinking back to the scene before where this guy easily opened the coffin that sealed the remains of the angel, a strong sense of mystery came over him.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun felt relieved.

This guy didn't show any hostility at the first moment, and he didn't seem to be an enemy.

 Furthermore, that sense of mystery is also a symbol of strength.

 Don’t think about it, it must be extremely strong.

 So strong that you don’t need to think about how to deal with it.

Ji Xun and the two just looked at each other like this. The bull-headed master's attitude toward the cloaked man was obviously much better than before.

 There seems to be a sense of recognition between the two?

Ji Xun found it even more strange after catching the differences in attitude details.

 This is an ancient ruin that has been sealed for thousands of years. How can anyone know Disaster?

Although he didn't understand what they were talking about, Ji Xun also understood that this mysterious man also came here to forge items.

 It seems that I am not the only one who has this tricky idea.

After the bull-headed master handed over several shining objects to the mysterious man, the two parties exchanged something.

As he spoke, the mysterious man also set his sights on the scalpels on the forging table.

Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly at the same time, and he immediately became alert again.

 The scene he least wanted to see was this.

 The scalpel is not only his weapon, it is priceless and of great significance.

 More importantly, whenever someone sees this scalpel, it is very likely that others will be able to guess his identity.

 After all, the wanted poster worth over 100 million yuan is posted all over the world.

As if communicating with the Minotaur to confirm something, the mysterious man was not interested in the sword at all. Instead, he sneered: "Tsk, tsk, how dare you promise such a price in order to forge these knives?"

　　　　???”

Ji Xun understood what he was saying and immediately realized that the other person was talking to him.

Hearing that tone, he also felt something was wrong.

 I thought about what Old Man Xu said before, what price the craftsman would have to pay for forging this sword.

 I didn’t understand it at the time, so I agreed.

 Wouldn’t it be a price that we couldn’t afford?

 Listening to this tone, it seems to be true.

Seeing that the thing was about to be forged, and there was a person in front of him who understood the ancient Talun language, Ji Xun didn't want to make random guesses, and asked directly: "Senior, can I ask you, what is needed to forge this sword? The price?"

Hearing this, the mysterious man asked: "You don't know?"

Ji Xun said truthfully: "I don't understand the language, so I don't know."

If this person is willing to talk to you, you can basically be sure that there is no hostility.

Moreover, this kind of relic-level flying knife is fatally attractive to ordinary people, but not necessarily to top experts.

When the mysterious man heard this, he didn't hesitate and said directly: "It said that forging this sword requires the consumption of very precious soul. That material needs to be tempered from the pure soul of the girl. And you promise to forge it well." After using the sword, your female companion will be sacrificed to become the furnace guide of the forge to make up for the consumption."

ˆ “.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xun's expression changed instantly.

 So it turns out that enchantment requires souls as a guide?

Katrina on the side is also full of surprise, the price is this?

If she really wanted to take action now, she was really not sure that she could survive in Ji Xun's hands.

However, Catalina's expression was very calm, as if she was determined that nothing like that would happen.

Ji Xun did not disappoint her and said without hesitation: "Then don't want it."

These scalpels are indeed what he wants.

 But he didn’t want to pay the price and couldn’t pay it.

 But once it’s been forged, the materials probably can’t be returned.

 It cannot be robbed even by force.

 You can only give up.

The mysterious man seemed slightly surprised that he gave up so decisively, and his tone was playful: "Since you agreed and said no, do you think you can leave?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the blacksmith shop instantly cooled down.

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Catalina beside him.

The disaster that was unknown, really had to do it, there was no chance of 80 %.

 But not enough to scare him.

 I just feel bad that I have brought trouble to others because of my own fault.

Katrina knew what he wanted to express, she looked very calm and said in a joking tone: "How about you agree to it?"

Ji Xun smiled and said nothing.

 But he also knew that this temporary teammate was ready to take action together.

 Looking at the attitude of the two people, the mysterious man thought about something and pondered for a moment.

He looked at Catalina again and said clearly: "Tsk tsk, your own hero's fate is not stable, and you still want to share his misfortune?"

Ji Xun frowned slightly as he listened.

 It seemed as if this mysterious man saw something that he didn't know.

"you"

　　When Catalina heard this, her expression instantly became serious.

 She did use some secret techniques just now, and she planned to fight first.

 But that’s not the point.

 The point is, although the matter of my hero trial was leaked,

 But it was also the top brass within her Lionheart family who knew!

How did this person figure it out?

She was not stupid either. She immediately guessed what was going on. Instead of pretending to be stupid, she might as well ask directly: "Your Excellency, are you here for me?"

Ji Xun had the same idea.

 This person is not hostile to him, but he seems to be unfriendly to Catalina.

The mysterious man shook his head: "The destiny of a hero is indeed very special. But you are not yet that special."

Katrina's expression relaxed a little. Such a strong person would not tell lies.

 But at the same time, this person did not deny it.

 Before it was changed, Catalina must have relied on her status as a high-ranking noble and ignored everyone.

 But now she immediately changed her tone, just like Ji Xun before sincerely asking for advice: "Senior, please give me some advice."

The mysterious man said calmly: "If you can't even figure out who is really going to harm you. Even if your heroic fate is condensed and formed, you are destined to be unable to keep it."

This kind of thing involves a lot.

The other party didn’t say it explicitly, but it actually gave enough hints.

 When Catalina heard this, her mind immediately became active.

 The Changfang, Bai family, Cao family, and the Oran survivors who just broke off their engagement?

An enemy I didn’t expect?

Katrina suddenly realized something, and her eyes flashed with a sharp look.

She bowed her hands in front of the mysterious man and said, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance! Today's kindness will be remembered in my heart!"

The mysterious man shook his head after hearing this, and said in a nonchalant tone: "You go. Otherwise, it will be too late. Besides, you can't help your friend if you stay here."

 At this mention, it was as if the gears of fate had been intervened.

The gold coin of destiny in Catalina's hand trembled slightly, and she suddenly felt a sense of a big crisis approaching!

 After she looked at each other with Biantou and Ji Xun, she turned around and quickly ran out of the blacksmith shop and disappeared into the alley.

 In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the shop.

Ji Xun looked at the mysterious man in front of him, and he really didn't understand his purpose.

 Looks like it’s coming for Catalina.

But this expression is like knowing himself.

Ji Xun tried and said: "Senior."

The mysterious man didn't think much of it, and seemed to sigh silently, saying: "You can take this knife. As for the cost of forging the knife, I paid for it for you."

 Is there such a good thing?

Ji Xun didn’t think it was a pie from heaven and asked cautiously: “Why do you want to help me, senior?”

The mysterious man didn't mean to say much, and said calmly: "If you can leave the ruins alive, you will know when the time comes."

　　　　???”

When Ji Xun heard this, the more he tasted it, the more he felt it was wrong.

 Such a great favor, just give it away?

 Also, is this a hint of fatal danger that I will encounter?

Prophet?

 Still know any news?

However, without much thought, the mysterious man disappeared into the blacksmith shop out of thin air, just like he had come and gone without a trace in the underground palace before.

Ji Xun looked surprised and solemn.

 Only when you see it up close can you realize how brilliant this body technique is.

Thinking of what he just said, Ji Xun glanced at the six shining flying knives that had been forged on the table. He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately ran out of the door with the knife in hand.

Ji Xun originally wanted to look for opportunities in the ruins of Xia Mu City to see if he could find other opportunities.

However, now I just want to go out first and then talk.

 He didn’t know why the mysterious man helped him just now.

 But the fact is that he got the scalpel without paying any price.

After smearing his own blood and imprinting his spiritual brand on six brand new scalpels, the subtle connection between the spirit and the weapons echoed.

 He immediately felt as if the tentacles transformed by spiritual power had six more sharp fingers.

It's like a flesh and blood body has armor, and the pain of fighting suddenly disappears.

Have tried it, the enchanted flying knife is more sensitive to mental control.

 The six flying knives are concealed and sharp, and Ji Xun's multiple thoughts can be perfectly controlled.

This relic is very suitable for his current state. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magic weapon.

 Six knives in hand, full of confidence.

 At least if you encounter an opponent who can handle it again, he will definitely be the opponent's devil.

 But I didn’t have time to be happy, the current situation didn’t seem to be good.

 “It’s strange, since when did I know such a master?”

Ji Xun searched his mind for people he knew.

He is a wanted criminal now, and not many people dare to help him.

Qin Rushi, the top powerful person he knows and the revolutionary army who is willing to help?

 But obviously not that one.

 If Qin Ru really comes, he will definitely not hide his head and face.

But it happened that the man just gave me a big gift for free.

Ji Xun was thinking in his mind while running around the city rapidly.

 He also deliberately avoided areas where there were battles.

However, while running, I suddenly saw a figure on the street following him quickly.

The evil ghost tattoos all over his back and the evil aura rising to the sky, who is it if it’s not Xie Guozhong?

 Xie Guozhong shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

Ji Xun heard that the speed of his feet was a little faster, and he asked urgently: "What happened?"

Xie Guozhong's eyes were more solemn than ever before, and he shouted: "The higher-ups in the bureau have ordered you to be killed!"

　　　　???”

Ji Xun listened with a serious expression, but also full of doubts.

It is true that I have many enemies, but what does it have to do with the top management of Bureau X?

 Is it a wanted order for the Cao family?

 That’s not the case.

  Bureau
