Cataclysm King

Chapter 473: The ancient giant hand that suppressed the Tower of Babel

"Also. I also drew the second-level exclusive template for Qigong masters from my special treasure box - [Lancelot's Courage]!"

This was probably the first time David had opened a settlement box and received such a generous reward, and he seemed very excited.

He had been poor since he was a child, and he was very satisfied just because he could buy a demon mark of black iron quality.

Now not only have I drawn the legendary mark, but I also have the legendary template that can be sold for a sky-high price in the auction house.

This feeling was like being rich from heaven, which made him feel very unreal.

Ji Xun also felt understood.

Not everyone is like him and has the experience of clearing S-level levels more than once.

For ordinary people, being able to experience an A-level plot once is an experience worth bragging about for most of their lives.

In excitement, David looked at Ji Xun.

In addition to wanting to share that joy, I am also grateful.

David knows very well that his survival to this day is entirely dependent on this powerful teammate.

But at this moment, his mood was complicated and confused.

Why does this teammate who takes the polymath sequence know [Domination Fist]?

Moreover, he seemed to be a different person before, confronting a third-level vampire head-on. Why was he suddenly so powerful?

Looking at that look, Ji Xun certainly knew what he was curious about.

But now is clearly not the time to explain in detail.

The people of the Red Dragon Royal Family have made such a big fuss this time, and now it's probably a mess outside.

If you delay any longer, things will change.

Ji Xun said directly to David: "Go out in a while and find a chance to escape. Then go to No. 33 Beicheng Road. You don't need to worry about other things. I will explain it to you then."

David knows a lot of inside information and will definitely fail the follow-up review.

Now it happens that the Red Dragon royal family has made some noise, which is the opportunity to escape from slavery.

Although David had countless doubts in his heart, he nodded decisively: "Yes!"

Although he didn't know what his teammate "Su Lun" was hiding, he was not stupid and had already vaguely guessed something.

When Gong Wu taught him [Ba Fist], he asked his teacher.

The response was,

Only two people in the world had learned this unique boxing technique.

Except him.

Then there is the other guy who is always called a "wizard" by his teacher.

The surrounding scenery changed.

Ji Xun, David, and Gang Duoduo and Seri, who were still in a coma, returned to the Tower of Babel.

This enclosed space the size of a football field is the testing ground for the Tower of Babel.

It was also the place where their trial group of 500 people gathered together.

More people came out one after another.

But not much anymore.

Not only were the students confused, but the instructors who stayed at the trial site were extremely surprised.

Five hundred people went to participate in the trial and came back scattered. It looked like there were less than two hundred people?

You must know that although there is a death quota for normal new students in the semester trial, it usually only exceeds 10%.

And right now, not even half of them make it out alive.

And only Ji Xun knew that this was the final plot twist.

Otherwise, they were going to die just now, and those who participated in the trial this time would probably be killed by those vampires.

"What's going on? Our team is still in the village killing bandits who attacked at night. How come the trial is over? I only have a dozen trial points and I didn't draw anything!"

"Yes. Wasn't it mentioned before that the trial lasted for three days? How come it's over even after one night? I'm still looking for plot clues in the village."

"Didn't you see Enlightenment? It was the powerful teams of the Red Dragon Royal Family that directly broke through the Black Crow Fortress, and then the plot ended. But it's strange. If I read it correctly, the prompt was for 'S-level' plot clearance?"

"Ah, what's going on? Am I also a man who has passed the S-level plot?"

"It's so scary. You don't know. We went to attack the Black Crow Castle bandits. Everything was going well, but suddenly it turned into a silver party. Oh, you don't know. Those maids are really beautiful, and they all have big breasts. , their skin is fair. And who knows, they turned into legendary vampires."

"Sam, don't talk about those useless things. Tell me more about the silver party."

"Princess Sophia is wise! Our Baron Endon team participated in the Battle of Black Crow Castle and earned thousands of points. Hahaha, we will definitely be in the top 100 in this trial ranking."

"."

The trial team members who came out were both happy and sad.

They excitedly whispered to each other about this bizarre trial experience.

Almost everyone who came out alive here has no idea what happened.

It ended in a daze.

Even if they participated in the battle of Black Crow Castle, Ji Xun guessed that they only received the assembly order and did not know that the real purpose of Princess Sophia and her party was the holy relics of the Holy See of Light.

Among the two hundred people who really knew, Ji Xun and David were the only two.

Because at a glance, Princess Sophia was gone.

"The college hasn't reacted yet. That 'undercover' has a very high status. Who could it be? Dean Francis of the School of War and Military Affairs, or Vice President Gustav of the School of History and Mystery?"

Ji Xun wondered in his mind and muttered to himself.

The only ones who have a close relationship with Princess Sophia, have access to the [Babel Tower] authority, and can intervene in this trial are the few high-level officials.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

When Ji Xun saw this, he somewhat understood the energy source of [Babel Tower].

Just like in the other-dimensional space before, the people of the Holy See of Light used the "Scarlet Corruption Seiadis" to leak the divine substance to maintain the effect of the [Solar Disk].

Under the ground of this academy, 80% of the seals also contain some kind of divine substance.

And the seal in the trial space was actually not just to trap Seiadis.

The pyramid is also a part of Emperor Lanlingst's seal, and the abyss crack in the seal is even more terrifying.

Ji Xun didn't know what it was.

But there is a vague guess that it is related to the Titan beasts in the Silver Fir Forest.

Not surprised though.

The history of this cave world is like a layer cake, unfolding layer after layer.

There are some random ancient gods sealed underground, which is not surprising.

Just as he was thinking about it, the instructors from the college also hurriedly came to the room.

Seeing the students who suffered heavy losses, the instructors were also panicked.

The rescue team entered the scene and the scene became a mess.

"Pug, why are you back alone? Where are your teammates? What, they are all dead? What happened?"

"How come so many people died? What... did someone trigger an S-level plot?"

"Did someone from the Red Dragon Royal Family trigger it? Where is Princess Sophia? Who proctored this trial?"

"What! The background of the trial space you participated in is the 'Alterac Civilization'? Damn it, who put that kind of forbidden object in the Tower of Babel!"

"."

The students asked questions and didn't know anything.

The Babel trial has been going on for thousands of years, and this is the first time such an accident has occurred.

Although the instructors didn't know what was going on, they made some brief inquiries and gradually realized that something was wrong.

When Ji Xun saw this, most of the bright light in his eyes receded.

It was as if he had been formatted, his true will was stripped away, and he became "Su Lun" again.

If possible, the Royal Academy will stay for a while, and this identity will still be used.

The only ones who knew the inside story of his clone were Sophia and the other three.

However, Ji Xun didn't think that the other party would be too busy to report on him.

The clone can still be stable for a while.

The Langdon family has two teams in the same space this time. In addition to Ji Xun and the others, there is also Young Master Sack's team.

Seeing that only four members of Ji Xun's team came out, anyone could guess what they might have gone through.

Sak also knew that Ji Xun and the others went to explore the forest at night, so he was even more curious about what happened.

And Chilona, ​​the tutor sent by the academy who had always wanted to investigate the assassination, also cast an inquiring look.

Ji Xun looked normal.

After all, part of the clone's cognition has been restricted, and no matter what secret method, no information can be obtained.

And David seemed a little nervous.

Because he is now the only insider.

But fortunately, at this time, the expected conflict finally came.

Ji Xun didn't think that there was such a big commotion this time and that the forces behind Princess Sophia could escape so easily.

So it's bound to create chaos.

As he expected.

Suddenly, like an earthquake, the entire Babel Tower rumbled and swayed.

You must know that [Babel Tower] is one of the most important buildings of the Royal Academy.

Not to mention whether the energy waves of the earthquake can penetrate the various defensive barriers of the academy,

Even if it was really penetrated, it would be absolutely impossible for the tower transformed from the fragments of the artifact to be so violently shaken.

And the shaking became more and more violent, as if the entire tower was about to collapse.

This scene not only shocked the students one by one.

Rao is that the instructors don't know what's going on.

At this moment, the radio in the tower rang urgently.

"Emergency report! Emergency report! Please ask the instructors of each class to lead the students in their respective classes into the refuge room immediately."

"Emergency notification! Emergency notification"

"."

With this said, everyone realized that something was wrong.

The students have all had emergency drills and have been able to use the "escape room". There is a high probability that the college has suffered a devastating disaster.

Who dares?

There are some top ninth level experts in the academy.

But it happened.

This means that the situation is very bad.

After hearing the broadcast, the scene became even more chaotic.

No one dared to be careless, and the instructors quickly called the students to leave the Tower of Babel.

The college had never encountered such an emergency before, and everyone was in a panic.

Ji Xun and David carried the still unconscious Seri and Gang Duoduo respectively, and mixed in the panicked crowd as they poured out of the Tower of Babel.

As soon as I stepped out of the tower, the first thing that caught my eye was the gorgeous enchantment.

Not only Ji Xun and other students, but also most of the instructors saw the college's defense array fully deployed for the first time.

The overwhelming magical aura swept over, and everyone felt a strong crisis.

What's even more exaggerated is that the defensive barrier in the sky keeps exploding into brilliant energy groups, as if someone is fighting.

I don’t know who is fighting, but they are fighting anyway.

The fight was fierce.

And the ground was shaking more and more violently. As soon as Ji Xun and his group of trialists came out, terrifying cracks appeared everywhere on the ground, as if something was rolling underground.

The Babel Tower is located right on the back mountain, and not far above is the snow line.

The violent shaking caused the snow that had been deposited for countless years on the Titan Mountains, mixed with a large amount of gravel, to wash down like an avalanche.

And the collapse is getting worse.

Looking at this situation, it seems as if the entire mountain is about to collapse.

"Could it be that 'that thing' sealed under the Babel Tower came out?"

Ji Xun muttered something in his mind, roughly understanding what happened.

After all, Airel Royal Academy is the territory of the Holy See, and there are various prohibition methods and countless masters.

No matter how powerful the forces behind Sophia are, it is impossible to confront her head-on.

Unblocking "that thing" and creating chaos is also the best chance to escape.

Ji Xun only glanced at him and ran away without any delay.

The academy is full of panicked students.

The students were not stupid. Seeing that it was no longer safe to stay in the academy in this situation, few of them went to the refuge room. Instead, they rushed towards the academy gate.

Ji Xun and David, who were mixed in the crowd, looked at each other.

David also quietly disappeared into the crowd and ran out of the academy.

In this chaotic situation, no one would pay attention to a low-level card master.

Ji Xun activated [Juli Ka], twisting Seri with one hand and Gang Duoduo with the other, using the light body technique all the way, and ran towards the distance.

There were people running for their lives everywhere in the college, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Although the academy is large, the extraordinary people are very fast.

Especially when running for your life.

It wasn't just the earthquake. The shock waves of the battle were getting higher and higher. The ground of the academy collapsed everywhere, and the light of the barrier in the sky became more and more brilliant.

Suddenly, I don't know what caused the barrier to break, and the vision suddenly became clear.

Only then did everyone see clearly that there were two hundred-meter-long giant dragons fighting fiercely in the sky.

A silver dragon and a black dragon.

Although transformed into the form of a giant dragon, the expressions of their original human forms can be seen on the faces of the two giant dragons.

The black dragon is none other than Zimmerman, the dean of the Royal Academy and a top expert who was promoted to the ninth level two hundred years ago.

And that silver dragon, the vice president of the School of History and Mystery, Gustav.

Ji Xun looked not surprised.

The "ghost" among the top management of the college should be Dean Gustav.

The only surprising thing is, isn't Gustav an eighth-level person?

How come he is on par with the old dean of the ninth level?

When he saw the [Sun Disk] lingering around the silver dragon, he also understood.

This old man is also a remnant of the Guangmingjia sect of the old era.

"Has this disk really been brought out?"

Ji Xun was not sure whether Princess Sophia had obtained the [Sun Disk] before.

But I thought I should have gotten it.

Not logical deduction, but intuition.

Since Emperor Lanlingster in the space can give him the [JOKER] card, he can also help Sophia get the roulette wheel.

Some problems that seem very complicated to ordinary humans can be seen through by high-level people at a glance.

Even hundreds of thousands of years ago, the great emperor might not have been able to see the threat posed by the Dragonborn of the Southern Continent to the Ka Master civilization.

The appearance of that thing is a great benefit to the card master civilization.

Only the more chaotic the Southern Continent is, the less pressure there will be to survive in the Eastern Wasteland and the Old Continent.

The thought disappeared in a flash.

Ji Xun had already blended in with the crowd and ran to the outskirts of the college.

The battle at the ninth level was devastating, and even with a defensive barrier, it was impossible to completely stop it.

What's more, the person who did it was a vice president who knew the college extremely well.

To him, the boundary arrangements in the academy were in vain.

It seemed that Dean Zimmerman deliberately protected the college, which prevented huge casualties.

It was also because of my concerns that I got into a fight.

The two sides were still fighting fiercely in the sky, and the high-pitched dragon roar was mixed with anger.

"Gustave, do you know what you are doing! Breaking the seal will have disastrous consequences!"

"Damn it, you actually used the power of heresy!"

"Zimmerman, my old friend, don't be so naive. Hasn't this scene happened before in history? Light is the only true **** of the Dragon Clan. What you are loyal to is just a cunning and despicable person."

"."

Certain words seemed to be said deliberately for others to hear, and the voice resounded throughout the entire academy.

However, those heretical remarks that concealed a huge amount of information seemed to have been deliberately interfered by the academy, and could only be heard intermittently.

Ji Xun has already guessed a lot.

The Dragon God of the Illuminati Sect hundreds of thousands of years ago is really alive;

The dragon **** Airel behind the current Holy See ended the age of the old gods, and seemed to have played some kind of dishonorable role in the process.

But none of this matters anymore.

Ji Xun looked at the battle that broke out between the two sides, and in his eyes were the lines of events deduced one by one.

He likes excitement.

I prefer this kind of excitement that makes the world turbulent.

Dean Zimmerman was not the only top expert in the academy. In the blink of an eye, there were several more powerful auras in the sky, all of which besieged the silver dragon.

Under normal circumstances this kind of rebellion would not last long.

But it is clear that the key to this unrest is not fighting.

And the real point is... the seal.

The earthquakes continue.

Hit, hit, hit,

The mountain collapsed in front of everyone's dumbfounded eyes.

right!

The mountain peak near the [Babel Tower] at the back of the college collapsed in full view of everyone!

Then, an indescribable terrifying aura swept across dozens of miles.

Everyone took a closer look and saw a huge arm appearing in the collapsed mountain peak.

It looked like a severed arm of some huge creature. It was just a forearm and hand, and it was more than a hundred meters long.

Black death energy like fire was rising from his arms, and a high-level pressure that did not belong to any race shocked everyone's minds.

"Is this the energy source of the Tower of Babel?"

Ji Xun watched the arm break out of the ground, and the corners of his eyes jumped inexplicably: "What kind of creature can be so huge?"

I originally thought it was some kind of divine substance from the Holy See of Light, but now it seems that it is not.

The instructors in the college were all dumbfounded and obviously didn't know anything about it.

As soon as this arm came out, the resentment that seemed to have been accumulated for countless years burst out.

It slammed towards the ground, making a "rumbling" sound that destroyed the world.

A hundred-meter-wide crack opened in the center of the entire Royal Academy in the blink of an eye.

The cracks blinked for miles, until a top-level instructor stood in front of the students and blocked the shock wave.

Seeing this scene, Ji Xun suddenly understood how those abyss cracks came about.

Then he turned around and ran away!

I used to think that this distance was safe enough for watching the show, but now that I saw this scene, it was still far away.

In a battle of this level, just watching would be fatal.

As soon as this huge severed arm was broken, the top experts in the academy had to focus on it.

If the giant hand continues to destroy it like this, the entire academy will be destroyed.

And once it escapes, the consequences will be disastrous.

Most of the masters in the academy were restrained by the giant hands. The pressure on Gustav, who transformed into a silver dragon, was instantly relieved. He also found the opportunity to flap his wings and fly away in the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

When Ji Xun saw this, he knew that the matter was over.

But this is the beginning again.

The remnants of the bright party from the old era escaped, and then the situation in the southern continent became lively.

On the other side, while the students were fleeing the academy, David also ran all the way.

He was a slave with no roots and no power. Originally, even if he escaped, the slave collar around his neck would reveal his identity as a defecting slave.

And there is a high probability that anyone he encounters will capture him and bring him back to the Langdon family in exchange for a bounty.

Originally, even if he escaped, it would be impossible to go to the Giant Spirit City.

But David firmly believed in what "Suellen" had said before.

He ran all the way and soon arrived in Beicheng District.

After searching for a while, I found that No. 33 Beicheng Road is a hotel area where adventurers gather.

After David found the place, he carefully watched that no one was paying attention to him, and then sneaked into the small hotel with the "Adventurer's Home" sign.

He originally didn't know why "Su Lun" asked him to come here.

So I randomly found a dark alley and climbed into the courtyard wall, trying to find a contact.

As luck would have it, as soon as my feet landed on the ground, I turned around and met someone.

Before climbing over the wall, I clearly didn't sense the breath of any living person.

But unfortunately, after coming in, I discovered it.

Moreover, the other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

David was still nervous at first, after all, he was a defected slave.

But the next moment, when he saw the man in the yard clearly, he suddenly realized something.

Although the appearance had changed, when David looked at that face, it suddenly overlapped with the temperament of "Su Lun" in the previous trial space.

The feeling of eyes that seem to penetrate all the truth is almost exactly the same!

David's eyes were full of disbelief, and he asked tentatively: "Are you Su Lun?"

"This is it"

Ji Xun had a faint smile on his lips and pondered for a moment.

This question is a little more difficult to explain.

He thought about it and said: "I am Su Lun, but Su Lun is not me."

"???"

David's face was full of questions when he heard these tough words.

Ji Xun looked at his stunned expression and smiled slightly. He didn't expect a simple martial artist to understand this kind of question, so he gestured: "Sit down. If you want to know, I can also tell you."

Looking at this scene, he inexplicably thought of the first time he met Jia Yu himself.

It's like time comes back again, it's a magical feeling.
