Cataclysm King

Chapter 334 Vampire Symbiote

After solving the magic problem, Ji Xun looked at the [Emperor Stone Tablet] again. The mysterious symbols on it seemed to be inexplicably related to each other.

The contents are no longer obscure, but there is still an indescribable mystery.

 He only understood the part that his own realm could understand.

It was because he understood a little bit that Ji Xun lamented how wonderful the "big rune" on the stone tablet was.

 It felt like he had seen a complete and unique "world".

 A world created by a god-level powerhouse with all kinds of things.

 This is "rune".

  A special symbol of the origin and mystery of the universe.

ˆ˜Only the most superficial characters contain indescribable and ultra-limited information.

At this moment, Ji Xuncai truly realized what Lu En meant.

Although the road to climb the mountain still needs to be walked step by step.

 This is its exaggerated information content.

That’s it: the all-encompassing clown.

 There is only so much he can understand in his current state.

 Seeing this, Ji Xun's eyes averted from the stone tablet and he let out a slight breath.

The corners of his mouth raised a bright arc, and there was a clearness in his eyes that he had never seen before.

Even to his own brain, he could not express what he "saw and understood" at this moment.

 Ji Xun’s [JOKER] sequence is very special.

At this moment, Ji Xun also understood why, for ordinary people, gods are incomprehensible, incomprehensible, and indescribable.

It's like reading the advanced devil's language on the original copper plate. The information is too much beyond the cognitive level and cannot be retained in the mind.

Ji Xun still couldn’t explain what he saw.

 Because the cognitive system of low-latitude creatures is simply unable to construct the ability to describe the existence of high-latitude creatures.

He was completely immersed in that mysterious state of understanding, not noticing the passage of time at all, and muttering to himself from time to time: "The earthquakes in [Natural Disasters: Earth Rumble] are the laws of destruction in the form of natural disasters. Embodiment in nature. It turns out that this is the 'domain'."

 But he had seen the direction of the road from above.

This allowed Ji Xun to see the future development direction of his career path.

 It seems like a long time has passed.

Ji Xun regained consciousness and waited for a long time before his pupils refocused and murmured to himself: "[Sen Luo Wan Xiang]. This will be the name of my future field."

　Unthinkable!

 The reason why he can understand these superficial things is because [JOKER] brought him the aura of forced understanding.

 But this kind of understanding, which seems to have only scratched the surface, is like a treasure to Ji Xun.

 Previously, he only knew that he was practicing the magical power of [earth ringing]. As long as his understanding was high enough, he could touch the threshold of the field.

 And what he understands is enough for him to consume for a long time in the future.

This [Emperor Stone] not only records elements, but also war, kingship, mystery, order, wisdom, healing, and love.

Dozens of laws of the universe pointed to by the thirteen extraordinary sequences are among them.

 It can’t be blocked any longer.

　He can only express to his brain what he saw through campfires, lava, meteors, dark fires, etc. The different forms of the fire element law manifested in nature. Only then can it leave an impression in cognition.

  It is like the description on the stone tablet about the "Law of Fire Element".

It's like a flash of God's work.

This big rune not only improved his understanding of the law, but more importantly, this idea.

This [Emperor Stone Tablet] suddenly lifted Ji Xun's horizons to the top of the mountain.

Ji Xun was the only one left sitting there in front of the stone tablet.

Although I feel confused, my heart is extremely comfortable.

Even so.

Ji Xun’s current state is simply unable to accurately understand what this law of the universe is.

 This is the refreshing pleasure of having a clear vision of the future.

My mind is filled with knowledge at the moment.

 But at this moment, he really understood.

 But I don’t know why.

 An advanced idea for connecting with the gods!

 If you really want to express it, a symbol may require hundreds of thousands or millions of words of lengthy description to express it.

 Seeing this big rune, Ji Xun had never felt so clearly his lack of understanding of the world.

But because of the 100% compatibility brought about by the power of the demon **** [JOKER], the meaning of the words on the emperor's stone tablet can also be analyzed to the maximum extent.

This is the great rune that condensed Emperor Lanlingst's understanding of the world back then!

 Quietly, a month has passed.

 Learned a lot of things and was indeed very strong.

 But because no one had heard of this sequence, he had no reference for the advancement direction before, so he could only explore it on his own.

 One of the big issues is the direction of future promotion.

 Generally speaking, only by having a deep enough understanding of one's own professional abilities can one successfully reach the "field", which is the watershed for top-level card masters.

 But Ji Xun’s ability to specialize in several career sequences at the same time, no matter which ability he uses as his own direction, is not suitable.

 Even Gong Wu didn't have any good suggestions.

 But now, there is.

What is recorded on the [Emperor Stone Tablet] is the promotion route of the clown sequence.

 They are all specialized and fully blooming.

This is also why Talon emperors and high-ranking officials in the past dynasties came to study the stone tablets, and they all gained insights into their respective career sequences.

 Because that great emperor was already proficient in many sequences.

 In layman’s terms, career paths are like the “skill trees” in previous games.

 The level of the card master is the trunk of the tree. The thicker the trunk, the more abundant fruits it can produce.

 The career tree of the fifty-two career sequences is a kind of tree bearing a kind of fruit.

The career tree of the [JOKER] sequence is like grafting, because the main trunk is strong enough, and it can produce colorful and heterogeneous fruits.

The biggest insight from reading the stone tablet is that Ji Xun confirmed what his skill tree looks like and how it will grow in the future.

After a long time, Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: "Emperor Lanlingst is really a [Grey JOKER]."

Now that he has read the contents on the stone tablet, he is almost certain of this.

This feeling of 100% fit is absolutely the same.

At the same time, he was also very curious. The gray clown was so special, but what about the colored clown?

 Judging from the current situation, even though Emperor Lanlingst has stood at the pinnacle of the Kasper civilization, he still has not touched the ultimate secret of this world.

 This also aroused Ji Xun's deep curiosity.

 The more we understand, the more mysterious the world becomes.

He was also curious about what was under the cracks in the abyss.

However, strength is the foundation.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun glanced at the black stone tablet and sighed: "There is a lot of room for improvement in the future."

This [Vientiane Rune] is indeed a perfect match for the profession.

 Unfortunately, there are many laws that need to be understood.

 The more you understand the laws, the stronger your ultimate combat power will be, and the more perfect the field of cohesion will be.

 But even in the same career sequence, there are no identical card masters.

 Although Ji Xun and Emperor Lanlingst are both JOKERs, their choices are different and their future abilities are also different.

 He was extremely emotional when he thought about it.

 Now I have mastered many secrets of various professions.

"Gluttony", "Immortality Curse", "Supreme Overlord", "I am the world", "Inducing the gods to fall", and the "Kongyue Shenxiang" who has learned a little bit from the Silver Moon Sect seems to be one of them. The mysterious magic method, and the secret method exclusive to the hero sequence "Sunless Sun" that I haven't had time to decipher yet.

He has seven of the fifty-two magical mysteries in his hands.

  But just getting started with these secret techniques took almost all of Ji Xun's energy.

 He does not feel that practicing Buddhism is difficult.

 But having to learn so many secret techniques at the same time is already a bit overwhelming for the brain.

 There is a feeling of powerlessness.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun became more and more eager to improve his wisdom, thinking in his mind: "The materials for the three masters of life to advance to the fifth level this time must have a significant improvement in the 'wisdom' attribute. I don't know if the Alliance Army Is there any news over there?"

 The thoughts in my mind disappeared in a flash.

Ji Xun looked at the empty stone house and found that he was the only one there.

Chujiu and Nanjing seemed to have understood the prohibition of Augustus's ancestral mausoleum from this stone tablet a few days ago, and then it was teleported away with a "swish".

 As the previous tomb keeper said, the stone tablet is only the entrance.

 The real mausoleum contains the exclusive secrets left by successive emperors of the Talon royal family to future generations.

But Ji Xun doesn’t envy those things now.

 He has received enough.

Just to digest this month’s insights, I won’t have time for a long time in the future.

 Two friends have nothing to worry about at the mausoleum.

Ji Xun didn't know how long they would stay.

 Since he has a psychic contract with Nanjing, it is convenient to contact him at any time, so he plans to leave first.

 Having taken care of the things that need to be dealt with, I also asked Master Merlin to solve the problem of the fifth-level professional card.

 Furthermore, after Ji Xun heard about the Seven Natural Disaster Monarchs, he also felt that such a chaotic situation was very exciting.

 You have to go out and have a look.

Stepping out of the stone house, Ji Xun saw the rickety old woman sitting on a stool outside, carving a stone in her hand.

Even if someone came out, the old man didn't seem to notice it at all and was concentrating on carving the runes.

Ji Xun did not dare to disturb him, but he bowed and said, "Senior, thank you for your advice."

 The old man didn't seem to understand and didn't react at all.

The only sound in my ears was the sound of carving knives and stone fragments falling to the ground.

Ji Xun is not surprised either.

The old man in front of me who has lived for more than three thousand years is not a human being, but a dead spirit.

 The extraordinary properties of relics will dissipate over time, let alone memories.

What little sanity she had left could only remember her loyal duty.

After Ji Xun said hello, he turned around and walked into the mist.

 Very smoothly, I walked out.

Ji Xun followed the way he came and rushed back towards the Screaming Valley camp.

One month has passed, and there are more and more adventurers from the southern continent on the Rune Highlands.

Ji Xun didn’t care either.

The biggest secret on the Rune Highlands is the Mausoleum of Augustus.

The only person left alive among the people who went to the mausoleum in this trial group may be Princess Betty of the Black Dragon Kingdom.

However, that woman was contaminated by Queen Silver Moon, so she would not easily reveal the secret of the royal mausoleum. On the contrary, in order to hide her contamination, she would find ways to hide this experience.

Besides, it won’t be a big problem if it’s really leaked. At present, it seems that the Mausoleum of Augustus is not that easy to access.

Ji Xun didn’t delay and hurried all the way.

 A few days later.

Three hundred miles northwest of Lion City, which is now in ruins, there is a small ruins called "Bone Fortress".

 This is the meeting place agreed with Jia Yu.

During this period, a large number of adventurers from the Southern Continent poured into the Old Continent, and almost all the new cities that had been established by the major federation families were completely wiped out.

 Neither the current alliance troops nor the hunters dare to show their heads.

You can only fight guerrillas in hiding in the wilderness.

Furthermore, the latest news that Ji Xun got is that the officials of the three major kingdoms of the Airel Empire have issued notices that they will not accept the surrender of anyone in the Eastern Wasteland.

The attitude is that he will destroy the Oran Royal Court and fight to the death.

Ji Xun previously thought that it was because of the "Capone Family" of the five major federal congressmen who had defected to the enemy, and the commander of the seventh-order Red Dragon Legion was ambushed, which caused the Southern Continent to lose trust in Donghuang.

 Looking at it now, it is actually not the case.

The fact should be that some high-ranking officials in the Airel Empire want to use the war to complete some kind of extraordinary promotion ceremony.

 Only the "war of annihilation" may have such ritual specifications.

Ji Xun has not yet touched that level, but has only deduced some causes and effects.

 Perhaps there is some deeper meaning.

 He can see that the deeper hidden danger is that "military disaster" is already hidden in the current situation and is getting worse.

Ji Xun was thinking about it next to a dry well in the ruins of the fortress when he suddenly heard footsteps.

 Looking up, two mysterious men wearing special cloaks from the Illuminati walked out not far away.

Before anyone arrived, the gentle voice came first: "Hey, long time no see, why do I feel that your temperament is different, Ji Xun?"

　　The person who spoke opened his cloak, revealing a head of wavy brown hair and a charming face.

 It is Irene, the chief intelligence officer of the Illuminati, "The Firebearer".

Ji Xun stood up and smiled, "Sister Aileen, long time no see."

Irene stared at Ji Xun for a moment, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Tsk, tsk, you change so much every time I see you."

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and said with a confirmation expression, "Well~ he's getting more and more handsome."

Having played cards together before, Ji Xun knew a lot about this person’s cheerful temperament and had no stage fright at all. He smiled and said, “Sister Aileen is getting more and more beautiful.”

 “Ouch~ I love hearing this.”

 Speaking, Eileen gestured to the people who came with her out of the corner of her eye, and complained disgustedly: "It's not like some people who say that I want to 'die alone'"

Ji Xun chuckled and looked aside.

 The other man in the cloak looked up and revealed a pale face. It was Jia Yu, the leader of the Illuminati.

Ji Xun frowned: "How is your injury?"

His current condition is worse than the last time he saw him. Ji Xun even suspected that this guy might die suddenly at any time.

Jia Yu listened but shook his head and said disapprovingly: "It's not a big problem. Let's go and talk as we go."

Ji Xun nodded.

Ji Xun and the others walked all the way from the ruins into the dark valley.

 Then he walked into a secret passage going underground.

 Rock layers can limit energy spillover.

 Similarly, a deep enough underground cave can also be exempted from various detection methods to a large extent.

 This is a secret base of the Illuminati Monastery.

As he walked, Jia Yu said: "I received the message you sent me, and it really helped a lot. Before, I speculated that those people looking for jars in the southern continent might have something to do with the outer gods, but now it's basically certain. , there are indeed signs of the resurgence of the alien gods. However, it may not be the 'Lord of Military Disasters'. The southern continent is the domain of the dragon clan, and the alien gods do not dare to plunder. I suspect that there is a hidden secret."

Ji Xun: "Oh?"

 He had thought of the same information before, and this mushroom head could definitely think of more.

Jia Yu raised a very unanswerable question as soon as he arrived: "The biggest question is, have you ever thought about why the 'Seven Lords of Natural Disaster' can't be killed? It is true that some of them are difficult to kill. But that's not the case. All. But the fact is that even Emperor Lanlingst is helpless. There must be other reasons for this."

ˆ “.”

  Ji Xun had thought about the same problem before.

Since the jar has always existed, why not get rid of such a dangerous thing?

 It can only be a possibility, but it cannot be solved.

 The Tarun Dynasty also had powerful men of **** level, but they were all killed. Why couldn’t those foreign gods be killed?

 If it is faith, it seems that the conditions for large-scale faith pollution are not met now.

 This is very confusing.

Before he could be confused, Jia Yu gave the answer directly: "Either the killing method is wrong; or the idea is wrong."

 Wrong idea?

 Ji Xun’s catalog meditation.

Jia Yu said: "Master Merlin's research gave me a new idea. Through a large number of experimental studies, he analyzed the genetic chain of the two old gods, 'Scarlet Corruption' and 'Beast Blood Boiling', and came to a very interesting conclusion. "

"oh?"

Ji Xun’s eyes lit up and he vaguely caught something.

Master Merlin's genetic technology is in a different direction from the technology tree of Talon's period. His research is more at the micro level.

Although they are both extraordinary black technologies, one is more metaphysical and the other is more scientific.

Jia Yu did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Although the gene chain of the gods is extremely powerful and has rich branches, the two foreign gods have many similarities in some key origin genes."

Ji Xun: "You mean"

"I am also not certain."

Jia Yu behaved very rigorously. He did not like to guess the answer, but said: "So, I plan to go there and confirm some conjectures."

Ji Xun guessed what he wanted to do, and said slightly surprised: "Are you going to the Southern Continent?"

"Um."

Jia Yu nodded: "After the Southern Continent learned that the jar of 'Scarlet Corruption' had appeared in the Eastern Wasteland, they had sent several elite groups to look for it. Although we had deceived it once before with bait, we paid a lot of effort. It’s a small price. And judging from the current situation, the Holy See is bound to get those jars. With the current means, I don’t see any hope that we can save them.”

Ji Xun frowned slightly and asked, "But your body?"

 He was not surprised by the "dark under the light" response plan.

 Just think it’s feasible.

 The mushroom heads that were in full bloom before can be found anywhere.

 But in his current state, it is estimated that any gunman can kill him.

 “It’s not that bad.”

Jia Yu didn't care at all and said calmly: "This kind of injury is not a bad thing for me."

Ji Xun: "???"

This is all going to die, isn't that bad?

Jia Yu's eyes were like mist, and he chuckled: "Destiny affects a person's life. We must accept its good stages as well as its bad stages. Happiness and pain, enjoyment and suffering, good and bad are all 'me' ’, this is the complete world.”

"oh?"

Ji Xun listened and thought for a moment. Now he also understands "I am the world", so it is easy to understand what the mushroom head wants to express.

 The other party is pointing out himself.

 He then laughed at himself and said: "It's just that I'm too narrow-minded."

Jia Yu smiled at Yaoyao, glanced at Ji Xun, and said, "Your progress has surprised me. At least I thought it would take you several years to reach this level."

He saw the change in Ji Xun and expressed a sincere emotion: "This way I can leave with peace of mind. If I can't come back, please remember to give me some guidance when I meet the next person wearing the mask of the Light Chaser."

ˆ “.”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun and Irene, who had been listening all the time, both had stern expressions.

Jia Yu didn't care, and always had a relaxed smile on his face: "Actually, sometimes, it's good to stop. Stop and think about your career sequence, and you can also calm down and write a few good scripts. This This injury gave me a deeper understanding of the world I understand."

As he spoke, he paused, and his tone was free and easy: "Besides, I am a [bard], and I should travel around and see the world."

Hearing this, Ji Xun stared at the steps at his feet and snorted softly: "Yeah."

 Many of the fortresses in the Talon period had complex tunnels.

 This secret base is about 300 meters underground.

Ji Xun followed Jia Yu down and saw a large amount of experimental equipment at first glance.

 This is Master Merlin's laboratory.

When the three of them came down, the old man in a white coat with tentacles all over his body was busy.

Ji Xun took the initiative to say hello: "Master Merlin."

Merlin's hands were not idle. He glanced sideways and said hello: "Hey, Ji Xun, boy, long time no see."

 The two of them had just said nothing, but something seemed to arouse them.

At this moment, the jar filled with red liquid like a pool of blood in the center of the laboratory began to vibrate.

 It seems like some monster is trying to escape.

The blood was boiling, and the air was filled with a familiar smell of blood.

Ji Xun is very familiar with this, which is the scarlet corruption pollution.

But Master Merlin didn’t seem surprised by this situation.

He poured some green medicine into the jar and muttered at the same time: "Jia Yu, can't you postpone it for a few more days? The condition of the experimental subject is not very stable now, and I am afraid that something will happen on the road."

Jia Yu sounded helpless and said, "I can't wait. If we don't leave as soon as possible, we can stay at this base for up to three days before giving up. All the experimental equipment and everything else will be scrapped."

ˆ “.”

Merlin was speechless when he heard that, and said with a flat mouth: "Forget it. I can only prepare a little more [Scarlet Inhibitor] for you. You should be careful when the time comes. If it is really contaminated, you will not be able to save it. "

Ji Xun listened to the conversation between the two, his expression unable to conceal his doubts.

 He did know that the jar of scarlet corruption was in the laboratory.

 But what is going on?

Before he could think about it, the blood of the injected medicine immediately stopped boiling, the liquid became clear, and a strong middle-aged man covered in evil ghost tattoos appeared in his field of vision.

Ji Xun blinked: "Lao Xie?"

Jia Yu on the side knew what he was wondering about and explained: "In order to take the jar out of the Shenxu treasure house, the people of the Scarlet Sect used symbiosis to hide it in the captain's body. Originally, this problem was very difficult. We have to take out the jar, The captain must die. If not taken out, sooner or later he will spread contamination."

Ji Xun frowned as he listened.

I also figured it out.

Those scarlet believers were betting on Jia Yu's hesitation.

 The fact is that Xie Guozhong is not dead.

 The situation seems to be under control for now.

Jia Yu added: "Later, Master Merlin came up with a way. Use 'forced symbiosis' to directly fuse the flesh and blood of the outer **** with the captain, making him the flesh and blood carrier of the outer god. Both sides of the symbiote are completely dependent on each other for survival. , no one dares to kill anyone. And as long as the captain's consciousness is still there, he can control the scarlet corruption in the jar. Well, this is a bit similar to your situation. Now you are a vampire with a contaminated body. But you are not contaminated by faith. "

Ji Xun: "That's it"

 It sounds a bit like Master Merlin's previous proposal to implant the evil god's tentacles in his mind.

As he said this, Master Merlin on the side also added: "Thanks to Ji Xun's blood sample, otherwise this plan really wouldn't work. But his situation is more complicated, and there is a high possibility of losing control. Potions can only be used Temporary suppression is still far from a complete solution."

Ji Xunzheng felt that he could not get into this topic. Suddenly, the sword behind him vibrated.
