Cataclysm King

Chapter 408 A lot of void materials

Ji Xun looked at Qidi’s reminder that the difficulty of the plot had been raised to level A, with a hint of amusement on his expression.

Now it seems that the senior management of Thunder Warhammer came here mainly for this plot difficulty.

 After all, if you want to get the clues about the jar, you must pass the level with high difficulty.

 Although Ji Xun and Old Man Xu did not follow the large army, their current location is also deep in the insect nest.

Perception, subtle and dense aura fluctuations suddenly appeared in the depths of the surrounding caves.

 And deep in the underground cave, the originally fierce sound of gunfire suddenly became more intense.

“The large army and the main force of insects are already at war.”

Ji Xun murmured.

This must also be the plan of the top brass of the Thunder Regiment, to use the main force to attract firepower.

 I think the other team is going to complete the A-level mission.

 He and Old Man Xu both have glands that can absorb insects, so there is no danger for the time being.

However, because he left the team, Ji Xun's current points are far from enough to leave the space.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun asked: "Senior, what are your plans now? This space is related to the outer **** 'Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta'. I plan to go and see that female insect."

Old man Xu pursed his lips and muttered unconfidently: "I was captured. I will be satisfied if I can get out alive."

His character who is greedy for life and afraid of death must not be willing to take risks, but listening to the second half of Ji Xun's words, there seemed to be a hint of hesitation in those old eyes.

Ji Xun is already very familiar with the old man's character. It is a fact that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the underlying cause and effect is also a fact.

He smiled noncommittally and said jokingly: "Do you have enough points?"

 Old man Xu said with a droopy face: "Not enough."

Ji Xun certainly didn’t know enough.

Although he didn't know what level the old man was judged by his space consciousness, before, this guy paddled the whole way without causing any hatred and didn't kill a few bugs at all.

Of course I can’t get out.

Ji Xun continued: "Senior, come with me and I can help you gain some points?"

 Old man Xu has a very special aura about him. You cannot be malicious towards him, otherwise it will lead to some indescribable misfortune.

 But Ji Xun didn’t mean any harm.

He knew that the old man would not die, and he vaguely guessed that the secrets involved in this guy might also be directly related to the outer gods.

 Old Xu was indeed looking for stone tablets, but the three stone tablets Ji Xun knew were all related to the gods.

 [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet], [Curse Pot], and Old Man Xu himself seem to have some causal involvement.

These are the "unsolved mysteries" of this world that Ji Xun feels.

 Even more mysterious than Emperor Lanlingst.

When the old man Xu was not large, the combat effectiveness was weak chicken. Probably he also knew that he was not good at killing insects, so he agreed.

In this way, the two of them continued to dive into the depths of the insect nest.

 The noise of the fighting in the cave is getting louder and louder.

However, because a large army contained almost all the bugs in the insect nest, Ji Xun and the two did not encounter any danger.

With the brigadier general controlling the Hunter God Armor, and a hundred elite mechanical warriors, this reconnaissance team is not easy to destroy.

 It is because of this that Ji Xun felt that there was an opportunity to trigger a more difficult hidden plot.

 Experience has proven that if you explore the plot deeply, you will get unexpected gains.

For example, the "Third Holy Grail War - Battle of Ironforge" that Ji Xun once visited.

The difficulty of that extra-dimensional space would normally make it impossible to produce a royal treasure like the [Sismark Holy Grail].

 But the fact is that Ji Xun and the others finally obtained the Holy Grail by triggering a hidden plot that was not the main plot.

This "Horror Worm Cave" is related to the battle that destroyed the Holy Crown City three thousand years ago, which involved many top powerhouses and secrets, not only the outer **** "Mysterious Worm Mother-Karakta".

Ji Xun didn’t want to just look for the insect nest. He just got some normal rewards and went out.

 He wanted to see what would happen in the battle that would bring about the collapse of the Talon Dynasty.

 For Ji Xun, in an extra-dimensional space, risks are controllable.

  No matter how high the difficulty of the plot is, it will only be evaluated based on the rank of the participants.

According to the rules of the extradimensional space and past experience, Ji Xun estimated that there were only two sixth-level card masters in his adventure team. Even in the most difficult S+ plot, the final boss is probably at level seven.

  You can definitely try it.

 The most important thing is that old man Xu can't die, and Ivan can go out by himself. As for himself, of course, it's because of the stimulation.

 He has no psychological burden at all.

With this thought, Ji Xun led Old Man Xu and the two of them all the way deeper.

The werewolf's keen sense of smell allowed him to roughly identify the routes in the air that might lead to the mother insect's lair.

From the intelligence he had received before and the direction of the current battle, Ji Xun had already calculated in his mind several insect nest routes that the Thunder Regiment might be hiding.

“The mother insect is very intelligent, so she must know that the human adventurers’ strategy of attacking from the east to the west is to find it.”

As Ji Xun walked, he thought over and over in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion: "So, no matter how you hide it, as long as you get close to the insect nest, you will definitely be discovered."

Thinking of this, his running speed also increased.

Even if the female insect knew the situation, the team of two people was the most inconspicuous one.

Ji Xun must find the mother worm before the other two teams are wiped out.

The difficulty in this extra-dimensional space has never been discovering the location of the mother worm.

  But to survive the insect swarm attack.

As expected, just when Ji Xun led Old Man Xu four to five hundred meters underground, there was a sudden dense noise in the tunnel.

Moreover, in terms of breath perception, those bugs are much stronger than before.

Ji Xun was not surprised when he saw this, but instead raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

 The mother insect discovered them and sent the guards of the nest, which meant that they found the right way.

In the blink of an eye, countless [Blade Jumping Beetles] poured out from all directions of the tunnel.

When the old man Xu next to him saw this scene, he was so frightened that he twitched his face and pretended to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead again.

Ji Xun smiled and put him on his shoulders, saying, "Senior, I'm going to charge!"

Old man Xu exclaimed in confusion: "What?"

Ji Xun did not say any more, but his eyes narrowed, and dozens of sharp daggers suddenly circled around his body.

The sharp daggers split from these [Moon Wheels] are much more effective at breaking armor than bullets. Even [Iron Beetles] can easily break through armor.

Dozens of flying knives formed a blade field around the body, and Ji Xun plunged into the insect swarm.

The cold light flashed, and before the massive insects could get close to Ji Xun, the sharp flying knives easily penetrated their vital points.

 Head, abdomen, heart, mouthparts.

 Before Ji Xun entered the extradimensional space, he had completely memorized the attributes and weaknesses of various insect monsters that appeared in the mercenary union information.

Without even making any noise, a large number of insects were harvested silently.

Enlightenment is like a tidal wave breaking a dam, rushing across the screen.

“Successfully killed the ‘Elite Blade Jumping Beetle’, points +10”

“Successfully killed the ‘Bellamation Bug’, points +25”

“Successfully killed the ‘strong blaster’, points +155”

“Successfully killed the ‘D-level disaster iron beetle leader’, points +1000”

The bugs here are much stronger than before, the types and threats are stronger than before, and the points are higher.

 But still crispy.

Those bugs that might take dozens of bullets to kill, under Ji Xun's flying knife, every blow hit the vital point accurately.

The space in the tunnel is limited, and Ji Xun is actively charging. The number of bugs he can come into contact with per unit time is only a few hundred.

The flying knife can instantly kill a series of bugs by penetrating through it without giving the bugs a chance to come into contact with it, so it is no longer a threat.

Although it is not as grand as those mechanics who killed monsters before, corpses are everywhere.

  But telekinetic flying knives have one absolute advantage over firearms, that is, they consume very little.

 There is no time to reload ammunition, and there is no worry about insufficient ammunition.

 Insects are so brittle!

Ji Xun’s current proficiency with telekinetic flying knives has reached a level that can threaten high-level card masters.

How about some bugs whose defense capabilities are almost the same as those of ordinary humans?

 For him, this level of control over flying knives is like controlling a character to kill monsters in a game. Apart from consuming a little mental energy, there is almost no consumption.

Even if he occasionally encounters some small bosses, Ji Xun's combat power is extremely strong and he can easily kill them in an instant.

  No threat at all.

At this moment, his brain was like a high-speed computer. As far as he could see, worms were dying in pieces like wheat.

 It looks like the flying knife is flying rapidly, but in reality it is more like dozens of invisible spiritual tentacles.

 When I read it, the flying knife has arrived instantly.

 The multi-tasking observation ability of "Qianjipuppet God Gate" combined with the deduction of "I am the World" is as accurate as a scanner.

 But in Ji Xun's vision perception, there will be no omissions.

Ji Xun just sprinted all the way.

The flying knives opened the way, leaving countless insect corpses in the corridor.

 The speed at which he rushed forward was even faster than the speed at which the insects surrounded him.

Even before the encirclement was formed, Ji Xun carried Old Man Xu into the depths of the cave towards the corridor worms that had the most high-level bugs.

A large group of bugs were chasing behind him. Occasionally, in order to increase his points, Ji Xun would be interested in throwing a few high-explosive bombs behind him.

Insects are not humans, and their intelligence is not enough for them to know how to hide their aura, or use some complex tactics to surround and kill their targets.

 At least these lower levels are sufficient, but there is absolutely no wisdom at all.

Only the insect sea tactic.

In this way, Ji Xun led the insects tens of thousands of times his size, walking all the way in the underground cave.

 Looking very thrilling, it actually went smoothly!

 This is also the reason why Ji Xun left the main army before.

Although the large army has strong firepower, it is also clumsy. Once blocked by bugs, the team will be hindered and can only wait to be surrounded by more and more bugs.

 He can kill and run by himself, and the insects cannot catch him, which makes him safer.

Of course, this tactic is only suitable for people like Ji Xun who have the combat power to break through the insect siege alone.

 Points 15554

 Points 32223

 Points 98813

 As you go along, your points are skyrocketing.

Unconsciously, Ji Xun found that his 100,000 points were almost completed.     Killing bugs feels like playing mini game, and he likes this feeling very much.

Now that the points are reached, theoretically speaking, Ji Xun can choose to leave the extradimensional space.

 But he did not stop, but continued to rush deeper into the crypt.

Ji Xun chose the charging direction based on the route he had calculated that was most likely to lead to the mother insect's lair.

Although I made a few wrong steps, I quickly corrected myself by looking at the bug’s reaction.

Ji Xun was sure that he was right to identify the passage with the strongest insect defense.

The Insect Mother is still dealing with the other two teams, and the probability of such a misjudgment is extremely low.

 At a certain moment, the surrounding tunnels suddenly became wider.

This is obviously to dig a movement channel for the large Zerg.

Enlightenment appears immediately: "You have entered the 'mother insect nest', covered by a high-level divine barrier, and you cannot escape from the space within the range of the barrier."

 If you continue, you will not be able to settle and leave the space.

Ji Xun looked unsurprised.

If it were so easy for human investigators to expose the location of the female insect, then this [Ominous Female Insect Margit] would have been eliminated by the top card masters of Holy Crown City long ago.

Ji Xun sniffed the air to identify the direction, and without any hesitation, he rushed towards the depths of the cave again.

at the same time.

 On the other side, the battle on the main team's side continues.

　　The team of human adventurers was blocked by insects in a huge cave.

 The corridors in all directions were filled with insects, and there was no way to escape.

 The attack of the insect swarm was a tactical encirclement and killing. It is better to say that they were driven here than they were escaping.

At this moment, including NPCs, there are less than 20 people alive in the team of 200 people.

 The difficulty of the plot was suddenly raised to level A, and some [Void Mantises] who had mastered the void ability suddenly appeared in the insect swarm.

This is probably the guard of the female insect nest.

 A monster that has never appeared in the intelligence before.

Their scythes can easily break through combat mechas. Almost all card masters below level six use one sword at a time, resulting in a very serious attrition.

 The adventurers still alive in the team are desperate.

Enlightenment reminds you that there is a forbidden barrier here and no one can leave.

  The NPC mechanical warriors, who are the main force in the battle, are also showing signs of running out of ammunition.

The firepower network is gradually opening up, and more and more bugs are coming like moths to the flame.

It is completely impossible for the adventurers to break out.

 Struggling to hold on, seeing that he could only wait for death in despair.

However, at this time, something strange happened.

At a certain moment, as if something happened, those void mantises suddenly disappeared!

As if they had some more important mission, they flickered towards the void deep in the cave.

This also made everyone understand that some humans should have threatened the female insects in the nest, and these insects rushed back desperately to rescue them.

This also made everyone feel relieved and at the same time greatly puzzled.

"what's the situation?"

“Could it be that the masters from Holy Crown City have already arrived?”

“That’s not right, the message hasn’t been sent out yet, how can there be reinforcements?”

“Perhaps it was Lance and the others who triggered the hidden plot before?”

ˆ “.”

Not only the survivors in the large army were confused, but also the elite team on the other side, who were also chased by the insects and had no choice but to choose their way, also didn't understand.

 They discovered the insect nest, and they also triggered the A-level plot just now.

 After being triggered, he was chased everywhere by this group of [Void Mantises].

After the catastrophe, they also understood why no one had taken the information out alive several times before.

These female insect guards have void abilities and can easily pass through walls, making it impossible to run through them.

Seeing that the group was about to be wiped out, the mantises that were chasing them disappeared?

 On the other side, a minute ago.

Ji Xun knew that he was about to come into contact with the final BOSS in this extradimensional space, so he ran all the way.

 But at a certain moment, a dark crack suddenly appeared in the void.

 On the back, less than a foot away.

Spatial fluctuations are very special, and this high-level law is difficult for people to perceive.

 Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for even sixth- and seventh-level card masters to notice that a spatial crack suddenly opened behind them.

By the time a blade insect arm is discovered protruding from the crack in the void, this distance will be enough to pose a fatal threat to even high-level card masters.

 It’s a pity that I met Ji Xun.

 After obtaining the treasure [Space Rune Stone] before, his understanding of the laws of space has greatly increased.

Although he has not learned all kinds of magical space spells yet, his super high affinity for space allows him to be in space, like a fish in water.

He can clearly feel the slightest movement in the water waves.

 Ji Xun had already been wary of all kinds of strange high-level insects that would appear after he entered the nest of the female insect.

Hairs on my hair instantly stood up.

Almost as soon as he sensed it, Ji Xun's figure suddenly increased several times in speed, and he distanced himself in an instant.

At the same time, three flying knives pierced towards the crack in the void.

 “Bah! Bah! Bah!”

Hearing the sound of three blades piercing through, Ji Xun glanced back and saw a half-human-tall blue-gold mantis with three **** holes pierced by flying knives. It was shooting out some yellow-green plasma. .

“The fourth-level [Void Mantis]?”

Ji Xun originally thought that it could bring him such a strong premonition of death that it would be some seventh-level insect with super powerful combat power.

However, Wanwan didn’t expect that it was actually the Void Zerg?

Looking back, Ji Xun didn't give the insect any chance to escape into the void, and controlled the flying knife again to kill it on the spot.

 He stopped, walked over, and looked at the head that was split open by a flying knife. A dark purple crystal core shone brightly inside.

“Hey, fourth-order void magic crystal?”

Ji Xun saw this crystal core the size of a fingernail, as if he were seeing a golden mountain.

This thing is priceless!

But before Ji Xunduo's eyes could heat up, his eyes suddenly froze, and traces of space cracks could be sensed in all directions around him.

Ji Xun felt this situation and already understood that there were quite a lot of [Void Mantises]!

 He has experienced the difficulties of spatial ability before, so there is no chance for these bugs.

Hold your backhand, and a large black sword appears in your hand.

These space cracks have blocked all his escape routes, and death would be almost certain under normal circumstances.

Ji Xun has combat experience in dealing with this situation.

He took the [useless sword] and rushed forward decisively in one direction.

The indestructible sword forcibly blocked the space crack that could easily cut everything. At the same time, before a few insects could completely come out of the crack, a dozen flying knives had instantly pierced their heads.

It is too fragile. Even a fourth-level Void Mantis has about the same defense as a second-level card master.

 “Swish, swish, swish”

Having determined the structure of the insect, Ji Xun's flying knife hit the head with a very precise shot.

“You killed the ‘Fourth Level B Disaster Void Mantis’, and your points are +8000”

“You killed the ‘Fourth Level B Disaster Void Mantis’, and your points are +8000”

Ji Xun thus easily escaped the attack that would have almost certainly killed any sixth-level card master.

He looked at the mantis corpses on the ground and cut them open with a flying knife. There was a crystal core in each head.

 Seeing this, Ji Xun's eyes gradually became hot.

 Almost none of the previous insect materials were collected. Firstly, it was too late, and secondly, the value was not high.

 But looking at the crystal core, Ji Xun had no intention of letting it go.

There are also the scythes, bodies, and flesh of insects. Anything that has anything to do with the laws of space is a rare material of extremely high value.

And this is a disaster-level monster with very high points.

 If you really want to kill more, when the rewards are calculated, the probability of drawing rare cards may be surprisingly high.

Ji Xun put away a few crystal nuclei and felt the space cracks undulating around him again. At the same time, he fully understood the difficulty of the extradimensional space.

 The insects that protect the mother insect's nest are these [Void Mantises].

His previous speculation was also correct. The upper limit of difficulty for monsters in this space should be level seven!

Originally, Ji Xun had thought of various ways to deal with seventh-level monsters. Now that he saw these mantises, he realized that the difficulty of this space seemed not as difficult for him as he imagined?

 Normally speaking, this group of bugs that have mastered space capabilities is much greater than the seventh-order threat.

Just the few ones just now are enough to kill everyone who participated in the mission, including the previous Brigadier NPC wearing the hunter's armor.

 But by chance, I met Ji Xun who understood the laws of space!

Although any insect has the ability to kill him instantly, Ji Xun also has the ability to kill them instantly.

Ji Xun didn't think that his methods would be defeated by a group of insects with almost no intelligence at all.

And I still have this "BUG" called Ivan!

Thinking of something, he grinned. Low-level insects have no intelligence, but the mother insect does!

 Kill the insect mother and the threat will be completely resolved.

Since the guards of the lair couldn't stop him, Ji Xun's thoughts became more active.

 He is going to do something big!

Before he could wait for the old man Xu on his shoulder to shout out in surprise, "What are you going to do, kid?"

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Xun completely ignored these void mantises that posed little threat to him, and rushed away again.

His speed has reached the extreme. With Ivan's secret help, he rushed into the depths of the lair smoothly.

Ji Xun smiled brightly when he saw the huge worm appearing in his field of vision.

 The appearance of Qi En verified all his conjectures.

 He touched the hidden plot of this extra-dimensional space.

"You discovered the 'Omen Mother Insect Margit', plot exploration rate +30%, additional card drawing reward +10%; trigger S hidden plot: the hunted insect mother. Margit is the Seven Calamity Lords Kalakta As a vanguard under your command, hunting down this disaster may trigger a plot of unknown difficulty; at the same time, you will gain amazing achievements in Holy Crown City."
