Cataclysm King

Chapter 251 Did Old Man Xu build the stone tablet himself?

 The dragon phosphorus snake chased the escaped mantra pottery and left the temple, and the crisis seemed to be resolved.

Ji Xun was originally trying to find some [Corrupted Blood Media] in the blood pool.

 We will wait until the hidden dangers of corruption are resolved before absorbing them.

  After all, such pure and extraordinary characteristics are very rare to encounter.

 But not long after, a mysterious force swept over and drained the blood pool directly.

Ji Xun also guessed that it was probably the "Scarlet Corruption" that escaped that consumed the mediums that the vampire believers sacrificed to him.

Similarly, the statues of gods that were originally the ancestors of the Bai family were completely turned into powder, gathered into invisible divine power, and disappeared into the void.

 Looking at it this way, there should be a fierce battle between the jar and the big snake somewhere outside.

 Both sides are competing against each other.

 Fortunately, the battlefield was not in the temple, and Ji Xun was safe.

As for the two unconscious people, Old Man Xu looked at them and said, "It's okay," so it was really nothing serious.

Ji Xun was very happy when he unexpectedly got a cataclysmic level [Ring of the God Thief].

 After pondering for a moment, he started to meditate cross-legged.

 Not long after, Song Yu and Little Turtle Dove also woke up from their coma.

Song Yu opened his eyes and saw the old face with gaping front teeth looking at him. He muttered to Ji Xun, "This girl is awake."

Song Yu seemed to have yet to return his soul, his face was blank.

 The little turtle dove on the side was patted on the face by Old Man Xu and woke up from a coma.

 The two of them felt like they were in a dream when they looked at the temple in disarray.

 I thought I was dead, but I didn’t expect to be alive.

 I. I’m not dead yet?

With countless complicated thoughts in her mind, Song Yu was still frightened. The group of fanatical believers of God left too many shadows on her mind, which had never experienced any danger.

 Finally, out of the corner of her eye she saw Ji Xun not far away, and she felt inexplicably at peace.

 After a while, the chaebol lady confirmed that she was still alive and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, where are those vampires? What happened?"

Both of them fell into coma while fighting vampires before.

 They didn’t see what happened next.

Ji Xun didn't intend to explain too much to them, and just explained casually: "The ancestors of the Bai family left some backup plans, and the source of the pollution should be dealt with."

He frowned and added: "It's quite troublesome. You'd better not get involved."

  After all, the "scarlet corruption" of the old **** will be polluted even if he mentions his name.

 It is not a good thing to be curious about that kind of existence.

 He also didn’t want the two of them to leave any trouble.

 I don’t know what’s best.

"oh."

 Listening to Ji Xun's explanation, Song Yu obediently didn't ask any more questions.

In a blink of an eye, she looked at the mithril everywhere, blinked and asked again: "Mr. Ji Xun, what about the mithril here?"

 You can’t ask about vampires, so ask about something you can.

 After all, this time we are here for the mithril mine, so of course we need to pay more attention to it.

Ji Xun thought about it and said, "The pollution is gone, so we should be able to mine it. But..."

 At this point, he hesitated for a moment.

 The pollution is indeed gone, but there is still an "aboriginal person" here.

To be honest, this set of mineral veins was discovered by the ancestors of the Bai family, and a large snake that seemed to have lived for thousands of years was left to guard it.

Although Ji Xun felt that that kind of being would have little interest in this kind of material.

  But if this person is disturbed during the mining process, it will definitely not work.

Song Yu didn't know what he was worried about and asked, "What's wrong?"

 “This is it”

Ji Xun just wanted to say something when he suddenly felt the pressure of a high-ranking creature in the huge temple.

He was suddenly startled: "He's back!"

The unique coercion of dragon-born creatures is the big snake from before!

　　Probably he had just chased and killed the "Clay Pot". When this dragon-scaled king snake came back, there was still a murderous aura in its aura.

This coercion was like a thundercloud at the end of the world. Even when Ji Xun felt it, his eyebrows felt as heavy as lead and he almost fainted.

 Most people simply cannot bear it.

Song Yu and Little Turtle Dove had just woken up, and before they understood what had happened, they were struck by the coercion and fainted again.

Ji Xun did not dare to be careless. He glanced at the old man Xu with a normal expression from the corner of his eye, and then stood up and looked up at the ceiling.

The big snake also looked at the few humans here with its amber vertical pupils.

  Precisely

He looked at Old Man Xu with an up-and-down gaze.

Locked in by the super strong pressure, Old Man Xu seemed to have recalled something.

Those turbid eyes gradually lit up with a clear and bright light, as if they had understood everything.

 One person and one snake look at each other and count their breaths.

The big snake spat out human words: "Human, who are you?"

 Old man Xu looked at it and said nothing.

I want to say something, but I can’t seem to remember it, and I don’t know where to start.

Ji Xun heard this question, but his eyelids twitched: "In the end? Did the big snake see what's special about the old man?"

 The big snake didn’t look hostile before.

 Looking at it now, that’s not necessarily the case.

The caution in those vertical pupils is as sharp as a needle.

Although Ji Xun knew that Old Man Xu was very powerful, he was not sure whether he could be more powerful than this big snake.

 Think about it, there shouldn’t be one, right?

 After all, this big snake is an immortal who has lived for thousands of years.

 But the big snake asked what this meant?

 It doesn’t seem like there is any hostility, but it seems like he wants to confirm something.

However, before he could figure it out, the big snake suddenly muttered to itself and said something that made Ji Xun's eyes wide open in shock: "Human? Oh, maybe you are not either. But you are not a walking spirit god." Dao. I am very curious about what kind of existence you are? Three thousand years ago, I watched you erect a monument in the temple, and now you are back. Why is this?"

ˆ “.”

 Old man Xu’s expression was the same as he listened, but his eyes became deeper and deeper.

The scene behind those eyes seemed to be looking back three thousand years ago, when the little snake was entangled on the seal and licking the seal, leaking out the slightest bit of divine power.

Hearing this, Ji Xun felt that his thoughts were getting knotted.

 What is going on?

 There is a huge amount of information in this sentence!

 The big snake has indeed lived for three thousand years

 But that’s not important.

 The important thing is, it actually met Old Man Xu three thousand years ago?

 I think that when Ji Xun heard from Catalina that this mysterious old man had lived for two hundred years, he was shocked and speechless.

 But now, it has suddenly risen to three thousand years?

And looking at this posture, Old Man Xu was already like this three thousand years ago.

 Otherwise, the king snake wouldn't be able to recognize him at a glance.

 “You’re not admitting your mistake, are you?”

Ji Xun's first reaction was this.

This king snake is a fairy. In a sense, it is already a **** whose incense has become a god. It is understandable that it can live for three thousand years.

How can you, a human being, live for so long?

 Oh no!

 Orochi said that Old Man Xu might not be human.

 Ji Xun couldn't help but twitch his eyelids no matter how well he managed his expression.

 So, this old man is not a human being, what kind of existence is he?

 There is another question!

 This stone tablet was actually erected by Old Man Xu himself?

Ji Xun always thought that this black stone tablet was an ancient relic that recorded the secrets of a higher civilization. Old man Xu was looking for it to pursue some big secret.

 You tell me that this monument was erected by Mr. Xu?

Isn’t this contradictory?

 Erected the stone monument by myself, and then searched for it in the endless years to come.

 Can’t remember what I’m looking for, where I am, or what’s written on the monument.

 Until I found the stone tablet, I seemed to have regained some memory.

Ji Xun was confused by this logical relationship.

 But a thought suddenly came to his mind: How does one feel about Alzheimer's disease?

  Often, conjectures that you think are absurd may actually be the truth closest to the truth.

Intuition told Ji Xun,

 What high-level power forced Old Man Xu to forget certain memories.

 But he must remember.

 That’s why I erect monuments again and again and retrieve my memories again and again.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun was so overwhelmed by the heavy sense of mystery that he breathed heavily, and a strong desire for knowledge aroused in his heart.

At this moment, the old man Xu, whose aura was already extremely vague, did not respond to the topic just now, but said calmly: "The Tarun Dynasty has been destroyed. You have fulfilled your duties."

The King Snake's tone suddenly became a little melancholy and a lot gentler: "Really? Sure enough, you still couldn't resist the catastrophe. I had already guessed that no one in the Bai family could sense my existence for thousands of years. It seems that it is gone too. The elements in the Eastern Wasteland are too thin, and the promise of protecting the white dragon has been fulfilled. I also plan to leave here."

Old Man Xu slightly squinted his eyes with traces of endless years, and said calmly: "You have been stealing the divine power of faith for three thousand years, and you really have hope of taking the last step. Unfortunately, your road will be full of disasters. If you go like this, you are somewhat sure that you can make it through. .”

Hearing this, the king snake's expression changed obviously, and he actually showed a hint of horror: "What kind of existence are you?!"

Ji Xun instantly felt like the world was spinning and his pupils dilated.

 In a daze, he watched Old Man Xu glance at the big snake, as if communicating something.

 But at this moment, there is no sound in my ears.

 “Hey, kid, are you okay?”

 I don’t know how long it took.

Ji Xun heard Old Man Xu's call.

 When he came back to his senses, his eyes focused. After waiting for a while, the memory was continued in fragments.

Ji Xun felt as if he had had a brief and outrageous dream.

 He remembered that it seemed like the big snake had come back and was talking to Old Man Xu again?

 It’s strange, I can’t remember what they said.

 Why do I have “outrageous” thoughts?

　　It seems like I had a very strange dream.

Ji Xun was a little confused.

Looking at the old man with a lewd smile in front of him, he asked: "Senior, what's wrong with me?"

Old man Xu also pursed his lips and said faintly: "I don't know. You have been standing like this just now. I thought you were contaminated or something."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun frowned as he listened.

  Could it be that he was under an illusion again?

He thought of some incomplete pictures in his memory and asked, "By the way, where is the big snake?"

 Old man Xu said casually: "I've been here, and I'm leaving."

Ji Xun: "Gone?"

"Um."

Old man Xu thought about it, gestured with his hands, and added a description: "Whoosh~ it disappeared in a flash."

As he spoke, the old man put a piece of mithril ore in his pocket, and added: "Oh, I asked for it for you, and it said you can take away the mithril."

 This is also a benefit for prospectors. If you discover a mineral vein, you can get some as your own reward.

 The old man is not welcome either.

 As always, he is greedy for money and afraid of death.

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun knew that nothing could be found out by asking.

 But he always felt as if he had heard some extraordinary information.

 But can’t remember.

“Is it possible that I was also infected with amnesia by Old Man Xu?”

Ji Xun laughed at himself in his heart.

Ji Xun had no intention of staying in this mine any longer and planned to leave here first.

 For things like mining, just arrange for professionals to come later.

 The most important thing is to be afraid of trouble.

The jar will eventually fall into the hands of Bureau X. The vampires sacrificed the town of Bolton, and those agents are likely to be searching nearby now.

 When we are discovered here, there will be many things going on.

Ji Xun didn’t want to be arrested and interrogated.

Song Yu and Little Turtle Dove are still unconscious. The pressure just now was too strong, and they may be unconscious for a few days.

Ji Xun picked up Song Yu and threw him on his back.

 Old man Xu also twisted the little turtledove.

 After dealing with the traces around them, the four of them returned the same way.

 The ancient ruins in the tunnels we passed before were also in ruins, with blocked rubble everywhere.

 Digging pits and throwing holes along the way.

 There was no danger at all.

 An hour later, the four people appeared outside the mine again.

Ji Xun did not intend to stay in this area for a long time. He and Old Man Xu chose another road with an underground river, dealt with the traces, and walked back towards Bolton Machinery Town.

 Through mountains and rivers, cliffs and hills, woodlands and swamps

 Even if he was carrying one person, Ji Xun's speed was not slow at all.

I took a trip to the wilderness, found the mithril deposit on the [Prospecting Map], and got a great opportunity. There was no danger.

 The steps became lighter.

However, as he walked, Ji Xun found that the heartbeat against his delicate body behind him suddenly changed from gentle and even to slightly accelerated.

 He knew that Song Yu was awake.

However, the wealthy lady didn't make a sound after she woke up.

 She was like a quiet kitten, lying on her back pretending to sleep.

 The breeze blew against his cheeks, and the corners of Ji Xun's mouth raised slightly.

He didn’t say anything and continued on his way.

Song Yu did wake up, but his head was still groggy.

 Broad back, very stable feeling.

Just after waking up, she wanted to get down, but when she saw clearly that she was on Ji Xun's back, she fell silent.

 Except for being carried on my father's back when I was a child, I have never felt so at ease in the past ten years.

It is obviously a journey over mountains and ridges, but it is not bumpy at all. Although Song Yu is a bad card master, his vision is not low.

 She knew this was a very good luck skill.

This made Song Yu, who had been exhausted for a long time, feel very comfortable, making him want to lie down all the time.

But as I walked, my thoughts gradually became clearer.

The adventure suit he was wearing was already thin. Lying on Ji Xun's book, Song Yu could clearly feel the warmth of the two people's bodies blending together.

 Unconsciously, she was reminded of the charming scene in the mine before.

Although he was under an illusion, he had intimate contact without any barriers after all, and that picture couldn't help but flash in his mind at this moment.

 I feel my cheeks are slightly red.

Hmm. It seems to be nothing.

 After all, Xina said, many ladies of their own age have tried it.

 There is nothing surprising about it.

And it’s okay if I’m just with Mr. Ji Xun.

 Besides, why not?

Song Yu felt that those thoughts could not be suppressed, so he comforted himself with a few words.

After all, she is the liveliest girl at her age. Thinking of this, a hint of playfulness flashed across her smart crystal eyes, and she laughed unconsciously.

This laughter finally couldn’t help but wake me up.

Song Yu, however, had no intention of thinking about it, so he simply continued to crawl on.

Ji Xun didn't know why her mood suddenly improved, so he asked, "Why are you so happy when you think of it?"

 The calm tone made the girl feel at ease.

Song Yu wanted to say something, but his crystal eyes turned and he responded: "I must be very happy to have found such a rich mithril mine."

 “Oh, that’s right.”

Ji Xun also smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, a six or seven meter cliff appeared in front of him, and he jumped up calmly.

Originally there was no danger, but the two of them were flying away. Song Yu looked at the bottomless ravine, his heart tightened, and he instinctively tightened the hand hanging on his neck.

 This contact has become more intimate.

Ji Xun clearly felt the soft flesh on his chest and smiled, "Do you want to come down and walk by yourself?"

 Before this, a lady's reserve would have made Song Yu refuse such disrespectful behavior.

 But now that it was ripe, she shook her head decisively and said, "I don't want it."

As she said that, she made a lame excuse for herself: "Ah, Mr. Ji Xun, I'm still very weak. I seem to have been injured before. Please carry me for a while."

Hearing the playful tone, Ji Xun's mouth contained a faint smile.

The two of them smiled as if they had regained the familiarity and tacit understanding they had communicated through letters before.

The breeze blew, and a strand of hair from Song Yu's temples fell down and touched Ji Xun's neck, and a faint fragrance entered his nose.

 The time became more romantic for a while.

While walking, the two of them chatted a bit about the situation in the mine.

Ji Xun is used to life and death. After the incident, he didn’t feel that it was anything special.

  But for Song Yu, a rich man, this was the most special adventure in his life.

Looking back, it was really a series of life and death.

If it weren't for Ji Xun, I would have died several times.

　　Just like the phone call story I heard when I was a child, the young and handsome warrior rescued the adventurous girl who was in danger during the trip.

 This is the best way a girl of this age can think of to meet.

 Song Yu feels that he is really lucky.

 Because she met it.

 This is a story that can be told to future generations as a fairy tale.

She had even thought of a scene. When she was gray-haired, she was sitting by the fireplace, with the red fire shining on a few chubby little guys. She slowly told the story of her youth: Grandma.

Wow, what would the full story look like?

I’m looking forward to it just thinking about it.

 Oh, so I am in the story now.

 Suddenly thinking of something, Song Yujing's eyes were full of expectation. She leaned next to his ear and asked expectantly: "Mr. Ji Xun, I want to invite you to my home. I told you before."

 Before he finished speaking, Ji Xun did not hesitate: "Okay."

"Uh-huh!"

Song Yu nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and his pretty face suddenly brightened up.

  PS. Here is a picture, Song Yu in adventurous outfit.jpg (waiting for review). I don’t know if this picture fits everyone’s image? If it's not suitable, you can send us a picture of a character that you think is suitable.
