Cataclysm King

Chapter 354 Qin Rushi arrives

 Once the painter Pablo died, the interception and killing operation in the Royal Court of Oran basically came to an end.

Although Domingo, the "Drama God", is not afraid of Ji Xun and Dong Qi, he is not sure that he can defeat them under the eyes of those in the Southern Continent.

 Originally, Ji Xun had the idea of ​​​​learning the true methods of the Four Knights of the King.

  It's a pity that the sudden silver moon illusion disrupted the original plan.

 The moment after he was exempted from the spell, he immediately sensed the fatal crisis and decisively used the communicator to send a message: "Directly ahead, covered with full firepower!"

A legend came to this assassination operation, and an elite killer team also came. They were already highly qualified, enough to kill the two Ji Xun in the intelligence.

 Normally there will be no backup.

 But now it’s here.

 Still when the other party's plan is about to fail.

After she noticed something unusual about Ji Xun, she didn't waste any time. She grabbed him in her hands and then crashed into the space crack without looking back.

"good!"

 Dong Qi was protected by the Hunter God Mecha and was not affected.

 “Controlled by mental magic?”

 The interception plan failed, and he asked this person to personally come to the rescue. He was already derelict in his duty.

At the moment when she was stunned, a small hand holding a paintbrush stretched out from Ji Xun's pocket and drew in the void, and a crack in space suddenly appeared.

As long as there is a trace of hesitation, these two people will not be able to leave today.

 And if you dare to come, you must have the ability to save the situation.

He always felt that the Royal Court of Oran was setting up a big, big plot, and this Betty was a very important part and should not be exposed here.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of tiny footsteps could be heard at the end of the corridor not far away.

 This is obviously to save the situation.

"Um."

The blue fireworks exploded by the missile caused a violent shock wave in the underground space, and the destructive energy spread out in the corridor.

 Intuition told Ji Xun that it was better to leave first.

 This matter is even more problematic.

She glanced at Domingo and said calmly: "No need to chase. Someone above has already noticed the movement here. You can find a way to leave first. Also, there is no room for mistakes in the matter of 'The Coming of the Moon God'."

Domingo looked sharp: "Yes!"

 Oh, I almost forgot, that’s how they came out of that oil painting just now.

Dong Qi then understood why he had to explain what he had just said, and he suddenly woke up.

Ji Xun can be hit, so the enemy is definitely very strong.

 But at this moment, with a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw that Ji Xun beside him seemed to be disturbed by some mysterious force, his eyes and pupils suddenly became blurred, and his whole body suddenly stood on the spot.

"Huh?"

That little girl can actually lead people through space?

 The sound of boots splashing in the sewage echoed in the dark pipes and was clear to the ears.

Dong Qi has seen Ivan’s spatial ability, so he couldn’t hide his surprise at this scene.

Dong Qi carried the limp Ji Xun and ran wildly through the complex underground pipe network.

The cloaked man responded lightly, and the white moonlight emitted by the [Moon] in his hand also dimmed.

Looking at the target escaping, the pretty face under the brim of the hat was gloomy, and he said softly: "You walked really decisively. It's strange, how did you find me?"

Without thinking about it, she also knew what Ji Xun's evacuation plan was, and she decided to crash into the space crack.

 It turns out that a very strong mysterious enemy has come somewhere where I can’t see it?

 So, if the woman showed her face at the risk of being exposed, there must be a high degree of confidence that Ji Xun and his wife would die here.

This battle command was so out of touch that Dong Qiyi didn’t understand what was happening: “???”

Taking this opportunity, Ji Xun appeared beside Dong Qi and said urgently: "No matter what abnormal behavior I have in a while, you just take me away!"

"Tap, step, step, step"

Dong Qi in the distance did not hesitate at all. The magazine on the armor bounced up, and more than a dozen micro-magic missiles flew out.

Ji Xun felt that if it was true as he guessed, the person coming might be the Black Dragon Princess Betty who was contaminated by Silver Moon.

 A mysterious man in a cloak slowly walked out.

 The cracks merged, and the two disappeared on the spot.

Pity.

Domingo did not dare to neglect him. When he saw the visitor, he immediately protected his chest and performed a knight's salute. He said respectfully: "I have met Her Majesty the Queen."

 “Withdraw!”

Domingo saw that the two men most likely wanted to escape, but had to strengthen the domain barrier to suppress the shock wave.

 After a moment, Ji Xun's pupils gradually focused.

 At this point, he woke up from the illusion state.

 Looking at Dong Qi's shoulder, he immediately understood something and thought to himself, "It's so dangerous."

He was injected with a sobering potion and was attacked, which means that the person's methods are extremely powerful as expected.

 Thanks to the decisive evacuation just now, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss.

With his pupils focused, as if his soul had just returned to his body, Ji Xun said, "I'm fine."

 Dong Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

 At the same time, she was also full of doubts and asked: "What just happened?"

 “I’m under an illusion.”

Ji Xun also lost consciousness for a moment, but looking at this posture, it was not difficult to guess what happened, and said: "It should be the master of the Silver Moon Sect."

 “A person from the Silver Moon Sect?”

Dong Qi was obviously surprised when he heard this, and immediately thought of the brainwashed mechanics in the base.

"Um."

Ji Xun expressed his speculation: "The Oran royal family is not completely unprepared for this war. They have planted some very important secrets among the top officials of the Southern Continent. I suspect that those guys may be plotting something."

He has been an undercover agent in the Silver Moon Sect, and he is very clear about the behavior of these Old God believers.

 The purpose is very clear from beginning to end, which is to bring the gods to come and spread faith.

In the previous battle at the Shenxu Treasure House, Jia Yu's plan not only severely damaged the Scarlet Sect, but also wiped out the little strength that the Silver Moon Sect had finally accumulated.

However, it is absolutely impossible for those Silver Moon believers to give up.

 Furthermore, the new king of Oran also needs faith to consolidate his royal power.

"oh."

Dong Qi frowned as he listened.

She never liked complicated plots and plots.

 I seem to understand, but I don’t understand, and I didn’t ask in detail.

 Humistically speaking, few people are as familiar with the sewer network of Sinless City as Ji Xun.

This is also one of the planned evacuation routes.

As they ran, they heard that no one was chasing them, and their pace slowed down.

 It seems that the enemy has no intention of pursuing us.

  It was expected.

 After all, there is no barrier. If we have to fight anywhere, no one can please us.

Originally, they could escape from the city directly through the sewer, but suddenly, Ji Xun stopped.

Dong Qi thought he had discovered something unusual, and immediately asked alertly: "What's wrong?"

Ji Xun's brows showed a hint of thought. He pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think we need to leave the city. Just stay in the city."

 The original plan was to leave as soon as he was exposed, but now he changed his plan.

"ah?"

Dong Qi sounded a little confused: "Not going out? But sooner or later we will be discovered again."

Since the killer came to the door before, it means that the people of the Oran royal family do have a way to locate those drawings.

 “No. That was before.”

Ji Xun shook his head and explained: "It's safer to stay in the city now."

 Although the assassination came suddenly, he felt it was an "accident" from beginning to end. Only the mysterious Silver Moon master came to the rescue.

So Ji Xun suddenly thought of a key question just now: Since Princess Betty is a very important secret agent of the Oran royal family, why did she show up for an assassination?

There are many military masters in the southern continent of Innocence City, and any trace left behind may be a fatal hazard.

 So it is definitely not to recover some backup drawings, or to intercept and kill some "defectors".

 For her to do this, it means that there will be rewards equal to the risks.

 After deducing, Ji Xun felt that there was only one possibility.

 That is, those drawings are more important than expected.

Dong Qi immediately understood after hearing this, and said: "Are you saying that these drawings contain some information that the Oran royal family considers top secret?"

"Um."

Ji Xun had previously suspected that those highly encrypted drawings might be research materials for "Mechanical Angel".

 Now it seems that it is not just.

It may also involve some secrets that the Oran royal family does not want outsiders to know.

For example, the "dark energy ancient weapon" that can instantly kill a seventh-level dragonborn!

 It was an accident that the information was robbed.

 But if it fell into the hands of Ji Xun and the others, at least it wouldn't be a big problem. At most, the technology would be stolen.

But if it really falls into the hands of the people from the Southern Continent and the enemy is alerted in advance, it is definitely not what the Oran royal family wants to see.

Dong Qi has been at that base for a long time and has seen some scrapped items from secret weapon testing.

She also understood something immediately and looked slightly excited.

 For a machinist, there is no temptation more attractive than the blueprint of an unknown and powerful machine.

Thinking of something, she turned and looked at Ji Xun again: "What should we do with those drawings?"

 The original plan was that once they were exposed, they would discard the drawings immediately so that they could be completely safe. But now that we know that the drawings are special, how can we easily discard them?

Ji Xun had the same idea.

He had already thought of a plan and said: "We will act according to the original plan. We will go to the city to find two places to stay later."

Like before, if something happens, we will take care of each other.

Dong Qi was worried about his safety and asked: "But the enemy will not come to the door again?"

The enemy failed to assassinate him this time, so he will definitely be better prepared next time.

"Won't."

Ji Xun shook his head and said meaningfully: "They don't dare to act rashly. If I were that Princess Betty, I would never cause trouble for myself now."

Dong Qi didn’t understand and asked, “Why?”

Ji Xun explained: "The interception was not successful this time. For them, the risk of doing it again is countless times greater."

It turns out that Betty just killed him, and everything was fine.

 But unfortunately, he was not killed.

As long as they are still in the city, if a fight breaks out, both sides may be exposed.

 Some plans are obviously more important than a few drawings.

Furthermore, after being assassinated, the other party also speculated that Ji Xun would leave some other back-up men to assassinate you again. Do you think I will report you?

The other party does not dare to take that risk.

 Correspondingly, even if Ji Xun knew that Princess Betty had a problem, he would not take the initiative to report it.

 Because reporting this would have no meaning to Donghuang or himself.

 Unless the other party comes to kill you.

 For both parties, the best way to get along now is: don't snitch and cause trouble, and I won't come to you.

Although there is no communication.

 But it seemed like a deal was made tacitly through the air.

Dong Qi had a strange expression when he heard his explanation: "Isn't this all your guess? What if those people in Oran don't think so?"

Ji Xun shook his head and said firmly: "There is no such thing as a chance."

ˆ “.”

Dong Qi frowned slightly as he listened.

 She glanced at Ji Xun and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.

 This is the old friend she is familiar with.

Has an almost crazy arrogance.

 Once he decides on something in his mind, he can bet everything on it.

  Including life.

For Dong Qi herself, she would never dare to stay in the city just because of some assumptions.

But this guy dares.

Ji Xun knew that Miss Qiqi was worried about him, so he smiled and explained: "Besides, I left the drawings in the space of the relic [Monet's Sunrise]. They may not be able to determine our location now." .”

He is not sure yet what method the other party uses to sense the location of the drawing, but no matter what method it is, the difficulty of detecting it through this catastrophic object will increase sharply.

Hearing this, Dong Qi glanced at the oil painting, and his expression improved a lot.

While the two were chatting, Ji Xun suddenly felt a stirring in his pocket, and a small head popped out.

Ivan looked at Ji Xun with her big watery eyes, a little embarrassed: "Mr. Ji Xun, I'm hungry."

Ji Xun smiled: "Yeah."

 There is another reason not mentioned.

After knowing that this little loli could travel through space so easily, he felt that the Innocence City could be saved.

 In the next few days, Ji Xun and Dong Qi continued to live in Sinless City.

As expected, life suddenly became stable.

I don’t know whether it’s because the members of the Oran royal family really can’t determine the location of those drawings, or whether it’s because of some tacit understanding that Ji Xun guessed.

 At any rate, the killer didn’t come to the door again.

 In fact, there were no accidents on the day of the assassination, so Ji Xun knew he was safe.

 To be on the safe side, he and Dong Qi lived separately for a few days.

During this period, Ji Xun stepped up to copy the batch of encrypted data every day.

 It took five days to complete the copy.

 After destroying the original batch of materials, the last hidden dangers were completely eliminated.

I have to say that the last assassination was very rewarding for Ji Xun.

 Not only did he get a catastrophic-level oil painting, but more importantly, it allowed him to touch the threshold of the "law of space".

 Learning this high-level law requires extremely high talent and understanding, as well as great opportunities.

 Ji Xun always felt that it was almost meaningless before.

This assassination allowed him to touch the door.

Understanding the laws of space is sometimes like learning to swim. You still can’t figure out the way, and you can’t master your balance no matter how you swim.

 But at a certain moment, it happened all of a sudden, and the direction of the future suddenly became clear.

After getting started with the law, Ji Xun can truly understand the mystery of this secret method when he looks at the exclusive magical secret method "Utopia Universe" of the painter sequence.

And after learning this secret method, the benefit is that he can directly use the exclusive relic [Monet's Sunrise].

Ji Xun has not yet figured out the attack properties of oil paintings, such as "space enchantment".

However, the storage function has been used.

  The interior of the oil painting has a huge space of about one city block.

  You can also expand according to your own understanding of the laws of space.

 It is like a "balloon" that can be blown up by itself. In theory, it can be several times larger.

 The most important thing is not the size of the storage space.

But the rules of space in this oil painting are perfect, not a storage or other space that is as fragile as glass.

This oil painting can hold everything.

High-law items such as clay pots and useless swords that were always carried with you can also be stuffed in together.

 This makes it much more convenient for Ji Xun to carry items.

 It is also much safer.

 Time flies by.

These days, Ji Xun has been immersed in pondering several magic mysteries and studying the "laws of space" every day.

Dong Qi has been obsessed with cracking the encrypted information all day long.

The encryption level of that batch of research data is indeed very high and extremely difficult to crack.

However, mechanical data is different from ordinary encryption documents. Many things in scientific research data can be traced and can be deduced.

Dong Qi's attainments in the field of machinery are quite high, and she knows some of the secret techniques of "mechanical deification", as well as the related understanding blessed by the professional sequence demon. Although the cracking is slow, she has made progress little by little.

Although they only cracked some simple descriptions in a few days, that little bit of content allowed the two of them to confirm a very important fact.

 As they guessed,

This is the research information of "Mechanical Angel".

There are not only some drawings of mechas that are more advanced than Titan mechas.

  More importantly, there is an "ancient weapon" inside that is completely beyond the current level of technology!

According to calculations, if that kind of weapon is really manufactured, its power may be beyond imagination.

 After discovering this, Dong Qi worked harder to decipher it.

 The two of them seemed to have returned to the time they spent together in the Red Mansion, with tacit understanding, busyness and intimacy.

 In the evening, they would take a bath together and enjoy a rare happy time.

oh!

 Then the other thing is to feed little Ivan who only knows how to eat and sleep, and eat when he sleeps.

 The two of them were not used to the addition of such a light bulb.

 But later I discovered that the little Loli wouldn’t wake up at all when she fell asleep, so life went on as usual.

 Unconsciously, it was half a month.

These days, in addition to staying in his room to practice, Jixun also goes out every day to inquire about news.

He used his disguised identity as an intelligence businessman to follow the development of the war situation in real time.

There are more and more southern continental troops in Innocence City.

Dozens of cities have fallen one after another in these days, and a large amount of treasures and war slaves are transported to the Innocence City every day.

It seemed that the Southern Continent was invincible, but slowly, the war became like a quagmire, and it started to pull.

The Eastern Wasteland is vast and crowded, and once the battle line is extended, the number of soldiers in the Southern Continent will be somewhat stretched.

If you want to attack cities one after another, it may not be possible to end this war for decades.

Since Ji Xun knew what the Silver Moon Sect was planning, he became more cautious about the movements of the southern continent's army.

From the intelligence, he deduced that a war was about to take place.

 The center of the battle between the two sides is likely to be the largest city in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland - Tailong Mobile Mechanical City.

The three major kingdoms of the Southern Continent have assembled more than twenty legions and nearly 400,000 troops, preparing to attack Tailong Machinery City.

And the Oran royal family also stationed millions of troops, seemingly trying to defend the city.

From the perspective of others, this is a normal offensive and defensive battle after the war has reached a certain stage.

However, Ji Xun was vaguely aware that there might be some unknown secrets hidden in it.

 For example, the battle for national destiny.

Ji Xun originally wanted to join the mercenary group and go to the battlefield to see the situation.

But he didn’t expect that Qin Rushi would come to Sinless City before setting off.

PS. In the picture of liquid leather clothing, the hair color is not quite right in the previous picture, but this one feels about the same.
