Cataclysm King

Chapter 320 Harvested the spoils of thousands of corpses

The unfortunate guy whom Lao Fu stabbed to death with a bone spear was called "Haku".

This guy is the quartermaster of the trial group.

He is also one of the few purchasing officers who can get close to the three noble students and is often in contact with other people in the camp.

Ji Xun had previously guessed which identity he would choose to live in if he were from the Bai family.

This Haku is one of the most suitable identities he suspects.

Ji Xun didn’t know what method Lao Fu used to see through.

 But he is a seventh-level necromancer, so he must have some special methods.

 Of course there are some hints from before.

 The God Thief sequence has been cut off in the Southern Continent, and no one in this group has ever seen the Bai family's methods.

Now I see something strange coming out of that man's skin, and his expressions are slightly frightened, and I thought he was some kind of monster.

 He quietly touched his hand on the [Sacred Nail of Light and Darkness] on his waist.

This golden-eyed fox is one of the remaining souls of the top-level immortals awakened by Bai Wei and his friends who sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people at the DP-955 Research Institute.

Bai Wei just looked at the underground palace with a sneer, then squinted at the golden coffin, as if to confirm something, a sneer escaped from the corner of his mouth.

However, when the spear pierced the skin, it was like a deflated balloon. Haku's whole body collapsed, and a wisp of smoke floated out.

Seeing this, Old Fu had already seen through something. He snorted coldly, popped out a spell card in his left hand and exploded in mid-air. Several ferocious evil ghosts rushed towards somewhere in the void.

But Bai Wei is not afraid.

 But "suspicious tomb"!

The purpose is to trap and kill those who break into the tomb.

 Looking again, he had appeared in front of the golden coffin like a ghost, and at the same time, he kicked the lid of the golden coffin violently.

Rather, it is a [Golden Eyed Fairy Fox] with white hair mixed with golden light and a pair of magical golden eyes!

As soon as the fairy fox came out, it tore up several evil spirits and swallowed them into its belly in a blink of an eye. It seemed that it was still enjoying such delicious sacrifices, with a dangerous smile on the fox's face.

No matter who it is, it is absolutely impossible to escape from their hands.

His expression was stern, and he drew out the **** bone spear like lightning, and stabbed the swollen skin with another spear.

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

 Lao Fu did not give the man a chance to fully show up.

Others don’t know the hidden secrets of this mausoleum, but the Bai family does.

If it’s not Bai Wei, the first genius of the Bai family whom I met before, who is he?

Ji Xun looked at the golden-eyed fox fairy behind him and muttered in his heart: "However, this guy is much stronger than what he saw before."

Ji Xun looked at the charming guy and recognized him at a glance, thinking to himself: "Oh, we are still old acquaintances."

Even Ji Xun, who was lying with his body stretched out in the distance, felt that something was not good.

However, Bai Wei didn't give those people a chance to take action again. He knew his situation and didn't want to escape. Instead, he snorted and said sarcastically: "Since you want to get the treasures in the royal tomb, let me show you. !”

 This is not the tomb of King Augustus.

Now you can look calm in front of the seventh level?

 Sure enough, most of the card masters in the God Thief sequence come from the Immortal Family.

　　However it was already too late.

One person and one fox looked at the hundreds of people in the southern continent in front of them with a sly smile.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the wisp of green smoke coming out of the corpse condensed into a charming and handsome young man.

I don’t know how the Bai family managed to maintain such good health, allowing the Immortal family to regain such strength in such a short period of time.

But this companion immortal is not the insignificant [Silver Eyed Fox] from before.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone watched Bai Wei turn into a puff of blue smoke and dissipate on the spot.

　　Not showing a trace of fear at all.

While speaking, a white fox figure appeared behind him.

Prince Salo and his party are not only Lao Fu who is at the seventh level.

 Because the enlightenment appeared at the first moment: "You are immune to the soul curse damage from the Weeping Angel"

 The man's whole body is like a gauze, which seems unreal but not real.

 But I don’t feel that I am qualified for a head-on confrontation.

Old Fu saw that he failed to kill the opponent, and his whole body was filled with aura of death. He had several more spell cards in his backhand ready to be used.

As the immortal family approached him, Bai Wei's aura became ethereal and illusory.

 There was a "dong" sound, and the heavy coffin board fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

The people around Prince Salo also quietly entered the stealth state at this moment, forming an encirclement.

 I saw it not this strong when I was in Plague Swamp before.

"snort!"

As soon as these words came out, Lao Fu vaguely noticed something and shouted sharply: "No! Stop him quickly!"

As Ji Xun guessed, the coffin was not the body of King Augustus.

Looking at those evil spirits attacking, a disapproving and evil sneer appeared on the face of the white-faced man: "I'm curious, how did you find me?"

 But the remains of the Weeping Angel.

Like the previous encounters, this body had uncontrollable pollution leakage.

 Almost the moment the coffin board was lifted, an indescribable pressure swept through the entire underground palace.

Ji Xun has encountered him several times and is already used to it.

 This situation was basically a dead end for the people in the Eastern Continent.

 Because no one has ever seen the situation above the sixth level.

 But for this group of people from the Southern Continent, it is not completely unsolvable.

  After all, even in the Red Dragon Kingdom, there are ninth-level card masters.

 They have a clear enough understanding of the top-level extraordinary power.

 The Weeping Angel was the guardian angel of the Talon Dynasty during his lifetime, and his combat power reached the top of the Karma Division.

 But it will be greatly reduced after death.

 Not to mention that it is still a partial body.

Prince Salo and his party came to excavate the imperial tomb, how could they be completely unprepared?

The moment he sensed the overflow of the curse, a simple silver mirror with a dragon engraved on the back suddenly appeared in Old Fu's hand.

The mirror was filled with white light, and before the contents of the coffin came out, the silver light in the mirror covered it.

Ji Xun looked at it and found that the mirror was still an exclusive relic.

  【Gravedigger's Spiritual Mirror】

Detailed explanation: Level V ancient relics, exclusive items for the Ghost Whisperer sequence; additional entries, soul sealing, spirit banning, tomb visitation, curse immunity. Additional damage and suppression effects caused to all undead creatures based on their understanding of their own laws;

 “There are so many good things”

Ji Xun muttered.

This mirror can suppress the curse of the Weeping Angel, which is enough to show its rank.

But before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, everyone saw wisps of black lines emerging from the coffin, eroding away bit by bit towards the silver mirror.

In the blink of an eye, the originally shiny silver mirror seemed to be oxidized and turned black, gradually becoming dull.

 Looking at a mirror will make it useless.

 Lao Fu's expression changed slightly.

He murmured something in the language of the dead quickly, as if he was trying to communicate with the person in the coffin.

However, before he could finish speaking, his chest suddenly seemed to be hammered by an invisible force, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

 It’s backfired!

 Old Fu looked surprised: "No! It's just the remnant body of a god. How come the remaining law pollution is so high?"

  The card master in the Ghost Whisperer sequence deals with various undead creatures.

 At his level, it’s not like he has never seen the remains of gods.

 But I have never seen such strong residual pollution after death.

 The one in the coffin didn’t feel like decaying and dying, but instead felt like a seed sprouting and full of vitality, like he was about to be resurrected?

 But it is not the kind of transformation into an undead spirit.

 It is a situation that he cannot understand.

Thinking of this, Lao Fu was greatly confused and turned pale with fear.

If the person in the coffin were to come out, he might not be able to die.

 But everyone else here must die.

 The situation is urgent.

 The mirror won't last long, and now the only choice for this group of people in the southern continent is to leave here as soon as possible.

Since it was not the Mausoleum of Augustus, Prince Salo had no intention of continuing the adventure.

He saw his teacher vomiting blood and asked, "Teacher, are you okay?"

These words were expressed as concern and to ask if they wanted to go out.

Just when Old Fu felt that there was no need to continue taking risks, he looked in the mirror and suddenly felt happy: "Hey! I found the entrance to the real mausoleum!"

 Saluo heard the dark light flashing in his pupils for a moment: "Teacher, you?"

 “It’s underground!”

The old man looked at the sign on the mirror and showed a joyful expression as he suddenly realized, "There are very strong undead waves underground. Haha, if the coffin hadn't been opened, I wouldn't have discovered that this suspicious tomb was a means to cover up the entrance to the real mausoleum. Legend has it that The 'mirror tomb' in the movie actually exists. What a clever trick!"

 【Ghost Whisperer】The entry-level profession is a gravedigger, and he knows the structure of various tombs well.

 It can be said that as long as he is sure that the tomb of King Augustus is in the Rune Highlands, he will be able to find it sooner or later.

"real?"

Saluo was also happy when he heard this.

But before he had time to say anything, the old man frowned suddenly, changed the subject, and said seriously: "However, someone has gone down there."

Outsiders can't see anything, but as a gravedigger, he can see some traces left by his colleagues.

 For example, some back-up players who are ready to come back.

And what he didn't say was that it was precisely because of the traces left by these predecessors that he could find the exquisite hidden entrance so easily.

Saluo's eyes showed a conflicting look of expectation and fear of disappointment: "Is someone going down?"

"Um."

 Old Fu nodded and explained cautiously: "There are some methods left by the gravediggers here. But it doesn't look like they were left recently. Rather, it was a long time ago."

As he spoke, he added: "And those who went down did not come out."

 Lao Fu knows why Prince Salo came.

These words are also reminding him that there may be no return after going down.

Salo listened but didn't take it seriously and said: "Since the tomb of King Augustus is here, there is no reason not to go."

It would be better if the person who went in last time did not come out alive.

If he really didn't dare to take risks, he wouldn't come to Rune Highlands.

What’s more, he is not a gravedigger. He has the support of the powerful Red Dragon royal family behind him.

 Speaking, Salo also looked at the old master: "Teacher, what do you think?"

 Lao Fu said calmly: "Your Highness just makes the decision."

 Originally, I came here for the mausoleum, so I was mentally prepared for it.

 Although there was a slight accident, it was still in the plan.

Saluo chuckled: "Then try it."

Without saying much, Old Fu took out a dark red card and placed it on the ground. After calculating the spatial coordinates, a distorted light gate appeared.

The mirror has dimmed, and the one in the coffin can no longer suppress it.

 The group of people from the Southern Continent filed in without any delay.

 “Clang!”

 The dark mirror fell to the ground.

 The huge underground palace suddenly became quiet.

The man in the coffin no longer suppressed him, and the pressure once again swept across the entire underground palace.

Ji Xun saw the whole scene.

He was not surprised at all that Prince Salo and his party were able to escape.

The space capabilities used are also expected.

 I just didn’t expect that by such a coincidence, this group of people would find the real location of the royal tomb?

“Besides, someone has been here before. Why are these tomb robbers so powerful?”

Ji Xun always had a hunch that the "people who had been here" that Old Fu said just now seemed to be somehow related to the gravedigger's treasure map they had obtained before.

But before he could think about it, the shadow slowly floated up as he looked at a head that was filled with silver-gray light, its eyes were closed tightly, but golden blood was flowing from the corners of its eyes. Desolate and lonely, with a beautiful face.

But there is an indescribable weirdness about it.

Ji Xun has seen the soul of the Weeping Angel and recognized the head at a glance.

It really was the head of the person he thought of.

 There is no one else around now, so there is no need to pretend to be dead.

Ji Xun stood up immediately and exhaled a thick breath.

Old man Xu on the side also opened one eye mischievously and saw that Ji Xun was fine. Then he dared to sit up and muttered: "Why did the curse disappear?"

 Looking at the floating angel head in the coffin again, he was surprised: "He didn't attack you?"

Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.

 He discovered this just now.

Except for the indiscriminate pollution leaking out when the coffin was opened, the angel head did not release curse pollution on him later.

This scene is exactly the same as the previous situation in the ruins of Xia Mu City.

 The same situation was true for the headless corpse of the angel at that time. Not only did he not attack him, but he showed kindness.

It was just a guess before, but now Ji Xun has confirmed that it is because of the entanglement between himself and Nanjing's destiny.

That ritual is recorded in the [Book of the Dead].

 The angels were killed and the seals were separated.

 This is the method of the ancestors of Nanjing.

Although Ji Xun didn't know why the ancestor of Nanjing wanted to kill the guardian angel, the fact is that he had no hostility.

 Angel obviously felt the entanglement of Nan Jing’s destiny.

 He just floated on the golden coffin blankly, not showing any hostility.

 If He doesn't move, the biggest threat in the underground palace will no longer exist for Ji Xun.

Furthermore, the pollution was leaked just now, and all the undead spirits and parasites were completely dead.

 Now there are only two living people, Ji Xun and Old Man Xu.

As for the [Ominous Brain-Eating Worm], as long as its ears are sealed, it doesn’t seem to be a threat.

 There was deathly silence in the empty underground palace.

With no one else around, Ji Xun didn't have to worry about it at all. The feast was in full swing, devouring the [Dark Matter Crystals] all over the underground palace with ten times the efficiency.

The various body data on the panel have also skyrocketed visibly to the naked eye.

Old man Xu obviously hadn't recovered his memory yet. He ran to the black stone tablet and pondered the inscriptions.

Ji Xun also walked over.

 The stone monument is only ten meters away from the coffin.

Ji Xun looked at the floating head.

He didn't know what to do with the angel's head, but he still showed respect to this powerful man from three thousand years ago, bowed and said, "Thank you, senior, for showing mercy."

Although the head did not open its eyes, it seemed to be looking at him quietly.

 Let's live in peace and harmony.

Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief and glanced around to see if there was any potential crisis.

Old man Xu turned his back to Ji Xun, but he seemed to know what he was looking for, and said calmly: "The boy from the Bai family is also going down."

Hearing this, Ji Xun's deep pupils suddenly dilated: "Oh?"

Bai Wei looked cool, but in fact, that guy didn't have the strength to confront those in the Southern Continent head-on, nor did he have the ability to deal with the remains of the Weeping Angel.

Only by stealing the chicken and using the remains of the angel to force the people of the Southern Continent to escape, could he have a chance to survive.

Ji Xun’s deduction has reached the result.

But when I heard old man Xu personally confirming it, I felt completely relieved.

Ji Xun also walked to the stone tablet, looked at Old Man Xu from the corner of his eye, and asked with a chuckle: "Senior, do you remember me?"

                               remembered.

 Old man Xu showed a hint of disgust on his face, and said quietly: "Every time I meet a kid like you, nothing good will happen."

Ji Xun didn't take the complaints seriously. He blinked and asked, "Senior, is the imperial mausoleum really down there?"

Old man Xu knew why he asked so and said politely: "You want to go down too? Haha, do you know why those people who went in last time couldn't come out?"

 There is nothing to be modest about in front of this senior.

Ji Xun shamelessly handed the ladder to the old man: "Senior, why?"

 Old man Xu didn't want to say it at first, but looking at Ji Xun's eyes full of curiosity, it was obvious that he was showing off again.

He raised his neck slightly and said proudly: "This is a one-way restriction. You can use space to get in, but you can't use space to get out. Otherwise, do you think the designers who built the royal tombs are all fools?"

"oh?"

Ji Xun rolled his eyes as he listened.

　　also showed a hint of surprise.

 “I said, why did you get in so easily? It turns out the murderous intent is here.”

Ji Xun was just wondering why the royal tomb was found so easily.

Since the designers of the Talon Dynasty could design such exquisite tombs, they would not have such crude anti-theft measures.

 You can enter easily using your space ability.

Looking at it now, the brilliance is still here.

Those designers probably also guessed that if the dynasty collapses in countless years and there are no tomb protectors, the royal tombs will be discovered sooner or later.

 Once discovered, no matter how clever the anti-theft is, it will inevitably be cracked.

On the contrary, creating such an entrance that is relatively easy for people to enter has become an excellent anti-theft method that gambles on human nature.

 When you come to this "Doubt Tomb", if you are not killed by the [Ominous Omen Brain-eating Insect], then the method is definitely not weak.

 Instead of letting people slowly decipher it, it is better to expose Zhenling directly.

 Just bet on whether the greed of human nature will continue in a hurry.

Those who come here will never give up easily.

 The more prepared and equipped you are, the more conceited you are.

 If you don't see through this "one-way restriction", it may be difficult to get out after going down.

 Just like the group of people who came last time.

Those guys in the Southern Continent probably didn't see the problem of the tomb's ban, otherwise they wouldn't have entered so rashly.

Now that he knew that the real Mausoleum of King Augustus was located underground, Ji Xun's mind became more active.

He didn’t have much spatial ability, and he didn’t think he could dig a tunnel into the ground, so he asked directly: “Senior, do you know how to get down?”

 Old man Xu rolled his eyes and complained: "How do I know?"

Ji Xun confirmed again and said, "You don't even know?"

 Old man Xu pursed his lips and responded with silence.

Ji Xun then confirmed that the old man really didn’t know.

 It seems that this old man is still the same as before, his memory has recovered somewhat, but not completely.

Ji Xun is no longer in a hurry.

Visiting the tomb is not a first-come, first-served matter.

The group of people from the Southern Continent are going down now. It would be better to wait for them to go to the mines and deal with the secret passages and so on.

In case they are lucky enough to come out alive, they may still be able to miss one.

Ji Xun didn't force things that were beyond his ability. He just thought of something and said quietly: "Che Er was also escorted along, and I even told him to go and rescue him."

ˆ “.”

When Old Man Xu heard this, his turbid eyes were indeed moved.

Ji Xun is not talking nonsense.

 Save people because you really want to save them.

Think about it, I really want to go on.

 But even if he could go down, he had no confidence that he could come out alive.

 But if Old Man Xu is with us, that’s not necessarily the case.

 Old man Xu is still reading the stone tablet.

Just like Xia Mucheng before, there seemed to be a lot of content on the stone tablet. As soon as Old Man Xu stopped, he seemed to be petrified and remained silent.

Ji Xun couldn't understand the stone tablets, so he was not idle, devouring the extraordinary properties in the black crystals like a whale.

While he was absorbing it, he was also collecting the spoils.

 There are six to seven thousand corpses here.

 Not only mercenaries, but also noble guards, and the value of the trophies they carry is also very considerable.

 The shadow and the body are searched separately, and they are searched along the way.

Ji Xun first found the body of Young Master Kaili, peeled off the storage ring in the guy's hand, and immediately discovered the treasure.

Although the relic-grade armor on the corpse was valuable, he only took one look at it and kept it.

Instead, Ji Xun stared at the classics he found from the storage ring and was overjoyed: "Gee, the students from the Royal Academy are really surprising."

Kelly, a graduate of the Royal Academy, naturally has the college's textbooks in his storage ring.

 "Secret Techniques of Dragon Knight's Introductory Training", "Fire Dragon Breathing Technique", "Secret Recipe of Black Knight's Tonic", "Dragon Strike Technique", "Felix's Marksmanship Secrets (Legend.

 Although it is only a book related to [Black Knight],

 But Ji Xun also felt like he had found a treasure.

 He has never seen such a well-organized textbook.

 The system is complete, the depth is high, and there are extensions and explanation notes.

This is not comparable to the card master's classics that Ji Xun bought from the market before, or those mercenaries and the like who came to the wild.

 Ji Xun's eyes were full of energy.

 The classics in the storage ring cover almost all the knowledge required below the sixth level of the Black Knight sequence, from basic to advanced.

There are also pharmacy, dragon language tutorials, war command, and marching formation.

　　Not only the textbooks, but also the family secrets of the Crimson Duke of the Red Dragon Kingdom.

These classics are privileges of the nobility that cannot be bought outside!

 If you are proficient in these classics, you can definitely train a qualified high-ranking general.

"nice one!"

Ji Xun casually flipped through a few pages, breathing heavily.

This knowledge is simply priceless to him.

Ji Xun’s journey all the way to the fourth level was entirely dependent on chance and luck, picking up parts here and there for him to hit.

His body is like a vase pieced together with various ceramic shards. Although it looks so big, there are "gaps" in many places.

 These classics are the complete inheritance of card masters passed down from the Talun period three thousand years ago!

There are also the crystallizations of wisdom that have been improved countless times by the dragon-born card masters.

This knowledge can make up for the "gaps" in Ji Xun's body to a great extent.

Ji Xun was also extremely emotional.

Once you have gone through an extra-dimensional space through exhausting experience, you may only get a rare martial skill.

 But in Kaili’s storage ring, there are a mountain of all kinds of unique books and secret techniques!

 This is knowledge monopoly!

 This is nobility!

At this moment, Ji Xun turned to a secret book engraved in gold, and his pupils shrank: "Hey, this [Dragon Fist] is similar to Senior Gong Wu's [Ba Fist]!"

 This is a boxing skill that has been passed down by the Scarlet Duke family for thousands of years!

 Legendary boxing skills!

nice one!

 The people in the entire Eastern Continent may not be able to find a few boxing classics of this level.

Gong Wu has said before that Ji Xun’s current Qigong foundation is very solid. The subsequent growth is completely based on [Ba Fist], absorbing various boxing methods for one's own use.

These classics from the Southern Continent have opened up many new ideas, which are just right!

Ji Xun flipped through it casually and put it away happily.

 The classics take a lot of time to digest, and there are still too many trophies to deal with in the underground palace. It is not too late to read them slowly when you have some time.

At this time, Ji Xun looked at the golden coffin again.

 This is no ordinary precious metal coffin.

 It can seal the heads of angels to prevent the leakage of pollution, and its extraordinary value is immeasurable.

And Ji Xun always felt that there must be some treasure in this coffin.

 (End of this chapter)
