Cataclysm King

Chapter 182 The mysterious man who opened the coffin is here again
"That's... dead?"

Ji Xun looked at Bai Wei who suddenly fell to the ground not far away, and the fingers holding the Holy Nail of Light and Darkness relaxed.

Even though he was calm and calm in the face of death, he was a little stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

The mass shootings of cursed spirits and ghost disasters that were overwhelming just now were gone in an instant?
The level of the lightning technique is so high that it is completely incomprehensible.

Ji Xun felt a surge of shock in his heart.

But before this feeling had time to sublimate, when he turned around again, Old Man Xu also looked at his sword finger still raised in the air with a confused look on his face.

The disbelieving expression on that old face seemed to speak: Did I do this?
This guy was stared directly at by three pairs of wide eyes. His sallow and wrinkled old face immediately became smug, and his wretched temperament became increasingly difficult to conceal.

He seemed to be unwilling to try again, calling "Thunder, thunder, thunder" twice more, but there was no movement at all.

No more tongue-splitting thunder.

There is only one dog king, Old Man Xu, who loses his temper as usual.

Ji Xun looked at the old man's expression and knew that his large experience card had expired again.

He knew that asking wouldn't yield any results, so he simply saved the effort of opening his mouth.

Although Catalina was curious, she didn't dare to ask.

Che Er has become accustomed to his grandfather's situation.

The four of them stared at each other in silence.

They looked at each other for several seconds before digesting what happened in front of them.

Although it's a bit like a dream.

But the fact is that Old Man Xu really solved a very difficult enemy.

The shock in his heart dissipated after a moment, and a chuckle overflowed on Ji Xun's face.

really.

Being able to live for such a long time is not only due to luck, but also to unfathomable strength.

Just now, I thought it was almost a certain death situation, but I broke it with one word.

This method was completely beyond Ji Xun's current knowledge.

The battle is over.

Several people looked at each other, relieved.

Catalina and Che Er were both seriously injured, so they drank potion and sat cross-legged, meditating to recover.

Ji Xun had many wounds on his body, but fortunately he had a strong body and strong self-healing ability, so it was nothing serious.

He was not idle, but went to Bai Wei's body.

After confirming that the person was dead, he pulled all the trophies from the body.

By the way, he absorbed all the extraordinary properties from the corpse.

This kind of aristocratic lady had a lot of good things with her, but Ji Xun looked at them and found that almost none of them could be used by him.

Scrolls, cards, relics and equipment are all related to the Warlock profession.

But fortunately, they are all high-quality products and can be sold for a lot of money.

Moreover, a gold-quality demon mark [10 of Spades], which has a very small probability of being found, was also analyzed on the corpse.

This is also a good thing.

This underground palace is of great importance, and sooner or later countless people will inevitably come to investigate.

If you see four living people in the underground palace, it will definitely make people suspicious.

Staying here will only increase the risk.

Moreover, all the divine power in the statue has been absorbed, and Ji Xun does not want to expose his secret.

Seeing that the injuries of Catalina's two seriously injured men had improved slightly, he said directly: "Let's get out of here first."

Several people nodded, and they all meant the same thing.

With that said, Ji Xun helped Katarina, who was struggling to walk.

Old man Xu also carried the second car on his back.

Before leaving, Ji Xun looked at the wordless stone tablet again and pursed his lips.

I always felt like something was missing.

Catalina next to her was also keenly aware of his look and knew what he regretted, so she asked: "Do you want that stone tablet?"

Ji Xun did not deny it, but asked: "What did you see?"

Catalina shook her head slightly: "I can't remember."

"."

Ji Xun had a helpless expression that was not surprising.

Catalina thought of this, and her eyes couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Just now, he was forced into a desperate situation by a fierce battle, and later he was shocked beyond measure by Old Man Xu's tongue-splitting thunder. He never had time to reflect on the changes in his body.

Now that she came back to her senses, her face turned rosy due to the surprise that gradually surged in her heart.

Although I almost died several times during this trial, the rewards have exceeded my imagination.

It was so big that even a top noble like her would find it difficult to obtain in a lifetime.

Did he suddenly realize the "magic solution"?

I don’t know if it’s the luck brought about by the Hero Trial.

But the fact is that I got it.

If the devil's mark is the seed planted in the body, then the devil's solution is the flower that sprouts and blooms.

We are just getting started now, and there is still a lot of potential that can be developed in the future.

Catalina herself couldn't remember what she saw in the stone tablet.

But she knew that this harvest would bring her immeasurable rewards long into the future.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Old Man Xu from the corner of her eye and secretly thought that she had really made the right decision to risk her life this time.

She glanced at Ji Xun who was helping her again. This guy had also helped her many times.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Xu said out of nowhere: "Don't be envious. You have your own opportunities."

Ji Xun glanced at him, thinking that the old man had seen something, and cast an expectant look: "???"

Old man Xu seemed to know something, but he couldn't explain clearly: "I don't know either. Anyway, it's quite special."

"."

Ji Xun didn't feel disappointed when he heard this, but was thoughtful.

There must be a reason why the old man's boss didn't take him to inspect the stone monument before.

He turned to ask: "Senior, did you find what you were looking for?"

Old Man Xu's eyes became cloudy again.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly but said nothing.

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.

Before, he had thought that Katarina's words about the old man being contaminated by the Great Karma were not taken seriously, but just now he saw that those words had killed countless evil spirits and cursed spirits.
He really felt it.

What the old man was looking for was anything but ordinary.

If he doesn't say anything, it's best not to ask random questions.

At this time, Old Man Xu thought of something and said seriously: "Also, Mr. Ji Xun, it's best for us to separate now."

Ji Xun looked at his incomprehensible look and asked, "Huh?"

He thought the old man would tell some surprising reason.

But unexpectedly, Old Man Xu complained quietly: "Every time I meet a naughty boy, nothing good happens."

"."

Ji Xun's eyes twitched and he thought to himself: Are you embarrassed to say this?
Catalina also had a strange expression.

Doesn't this person still know that he himself is the biggest polluter of luck?
If life is not hard enough, it is difficult to say that it will happen a second time.

However, Ji Xun didn't say much and smiled lightly: "Yeah."

Old man Xu can break the situation this time, but he may not be able to break it next time.

His destiny is tough, but other people's destiny may not be comparable to his.

Forcibly following you around is more of a disaster than a blessing.

Anyway, the situation in the ruins of Xia Mu City is now generally clear, so it might as well be separated.

The four of them walked out of the underground palace all the way.

As soon as they walked outside the waterfall, they heard the sound of fierce fighting.

There was already a fight outside.

Visible to the naked eye, Xia Mu City is full of gunfire and artillery battles.

This deep pit ruins seems to have been flooded with a large number of hunters and explorers.

Ji Xun and the other two were not too surprised.

The direct descendants of nobles such as Kak and Bai Wei are here. It can be imagined that the major families in the federation attach great importance to this relic.

Not only the underground palace, there are many secrets and opportunities in Xia Mu City.

For example, the blacksmith shop that Ji Xun and the others visited before was a place where relic-level weapons could be forged.

Although the disaster in the city is fatal, it may not be possible to avoid it with the help of human sea tactics.

Sooner or later this ruin will be discovered.

After leaving the underground palace, the four of them split into two groups.

Old man Xu and Che Erye and grandson disappeared into the darkness furtively.

Ji Xun doesn't have to worry about the safety of these two people.

He was going to the blacksmith's shop to see if his scalpel was forged properly.

Katarina was seriously injured, and she was afraid that she would not be able to leave the ruins alive alone, so she followed her.

Coincidentally, not long after the four of them separated, they saw several men in black chasing a woman covered in moonlight on the street in the distance.

The two of them took a closer look and saw that it was Xie Guozhong and the others from Bureau X and the leader of Silver Moon who was fleeing in embarrassment.

Ji Xun saw the seriously injured leader Yin Yue trying to run into the underground palace, most likely because he wanted to use the statue to heal his injury.

But unfortunately, the remaining divine power of the statues in the underground palace has been absorbed.

She was afraid that her injuries could not be cured if she went in.

Instead, they will be locked up and beaten.

And now that there is no remains of the angel in the underground palace, there is a high probability that no one can save her anymore.

Ji Xun felt that if he could kill the Silver Moon leader this time, he, the exposed undercover agent, would be less in trouble.

The two of them didn't want to see that level of excitement, so they walked through the alleys of Xia Mu City.

The number of disasters wandering the streets has obviously decreased, and most of them were attracted by the fighting in various parts of the city.

But Ji Xun has the aura of "Xia Mucheng Undead Affinity +65", so if they don't take the initiative to die, Calamity will not take the initiative to attack them.

The two of them walked along and soon arrived at the blacksmith shop in the alley they had been to before.

That tauren calamity is still hammering away.

This seemed to be a neutral disaster. It was not affected by the fighting in the city, so it was forged in the shop with peace of mind.

Ji Xun saw his scalpel on the shelf at a glance.

In the furnace next to it, there are five throwing knives that are burning red but seem to have been roughly formed.

"what"

It was at this look that his eyes lit up.

Only then did he realize that his scalpel was different from before.

Properties have also changed.

[Relic: Enchanted Plague Doctor Scalpel]

Detailed explanation: Level III mysterious ancient relic; Sharpness +9, Demon Breaking +55%; Ignore +30%, can absorb the soul fragments of the dead to enhance the mental imprint of the flying knife, causing a mental neglect effect on the target; Ignore Defense +7%, Attachment Curse power, 100% increase in ignoring defense attributes; the scalpel forged from Rhea's sensitive alloy can absorb spiritual energy to imprint the scalpel, and the imprinter can use mind power to control the trajectory of the flying knife.

"Did this restore the original properties of the relic after tempering?"

Ji Xun guessed in his mind as he looked at it.

Ancient relics are antiques that have passed through the years.

Although it still has good extraordinary properties, after all, no item can withstand the erosion of time.

The extraordinary characteristics will inevitably be lost much more than when the relic is at its peak.

When Ji Xun got the flying knife before, many of the spells on it were already ineffective.

But now I see that the scalpel has completely changed.

It's like sharpening a knife, it suddenly becomes sharper.

The mysterious mantras all over the body shine brightly.

The rare level has also been raised from Level I to Level III;
The demon-breaking attribute has been increased from the previous 35% to 55%, which is a fatal threat to high-level card masters;
There is also an additional "Ignore +30%" effect, and the hit rate will be higher;
What's more important is that the "ignore defense" entry simply sublimates the entire flying knife!

"hiss"

Ji Xun looked at this brand-new attribute and was full of expectations.

This scalpel has always been his most handy weapon, killing countless enemies.

The underground palace swallowed the dark matter crystal in the coffin before, and the mental power doubled. Now it is no longer a problem to control the telekinetic flying knife.

What's more, the properties of the flying knife have been improved so much.

Most importantly, he might have six scalpels like this?
The bull-headed blacksmith watched the two people come in, raised his eyebrows, and muttered a few words.

It's a pity that without Old Man Xu as a translator, Ji Xun and the two of them couldn't understand what it expressed.

But thinking that it hadn't been forged yet, the two of them could just wait here.

After all, this bull-headed blacksmith is also a calamity of unknown level.

It's quite safe to stay in this blacksmith shop.

Catalina was injured, so she didn't rush to leave and recovered from her injuries on the side.

Ji Xun was also meditating cross-legged in the corner of the shop, familiar with his previously soaring physical attributes.

In a blink of an eye, it lasted a few hours.

Ji Xun looked at his pocket watch and saw that the time had passed the time he had looked back before.

The blacksmith shop in the alley is in the core area of ​​Xia Mu City. It will probably take a long time for the hunters outside to push in.

No one bothered.

But the sound of fighting never stopped.

Ji Xun's eyes looked at the flying knife that was almost completely formed on the forging table from time to time, and his expression became more and more solemn.The more he had to forge it, the more he had a feeling that something might happen.

It may be difficult for low-level hunters to get close to the city center now, but those top-level card masters can.

If someone really discovers this blacksmith shop, conflict is about to break out.

After all, as of now, no matter what the Lion Heart Family, the Bai Family, the X Bureau, or the Silver Moon Sect.
Almost all the forces that entered the ruins had bad intentions.

Moreover, after Ji Xun's werewolf bloodline returned to his ancestors, his crisis intuition became more and more acute.

Good premonitions may not work out.

But when I feel something is going to happen, it works almost every time.

Seeing Ji Xun's frown, Catalina raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

After a few hours of recovery, her injuries improved a lot, and her cheeks turned red.

Ji Xun glanced at her and said directly: "I always feel that I might run into trouble if I continue to stay."

Catalina's expression suddenly froze when she heard this, and she looked at it seriously.

But it seemed like there was no other choice but to stay.

Unfortunately, it was when the two of them were having a conversation.

Suddenly an uninvited guest came to the blacksmith shop.

A man wearing a black cloak whose appearance was completely unclear walked in quietly.

Seeing this, Ji Xun's expressions changed.

Ji Xun was horrified that everyone had already entered the shop and he didn't notice at all?

No footsteps, no smell, no breath!
There are almost only two possibilities in this situation, either the person coming is not a human being, or it is a very powerful person!

And even though the other person was wearing a cloak, Ji Xun's photographic memory was enough to recognize him at a glance. Wasn't this cloaked man the same one who quietly opened the coffin and released the angel's remains in the underground palace?
Anyone who can go down to the underground palace is a master.

Ji Xun saw this mysterious man suddenly appear in the blacksmith shop. This was something bad.

Both he and Catalina were wearing gas masks, but it was obvious that the other party recognized them as well.

Although he was not sure whether he was an enemy or not, Ji Xun's muscles all over his body were slightly tense at this meeting.

If anything goes wrong at all, he will immediately become violent.

But what was surprising was that the cloaked man walked in without even glancing at the two people in the corner.Instead, he walked directly to the forging table and talked with the master blacksmith who turned his head!
The voice was very calm, and it was impossible to distinguish between male and female.

But the important thing is, dialogue!

Talk to Calamity!
"This?"

Ji Xun and the two looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes, not daring to make any move, but they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Apart from beings like Old Man Xu who have lived for who knows how many years and can understand the ancient Tarun dialect, there are still people who can understand it?

What is the situation with this man?
Thinking back to the scene before where this guy easily opened the coffin of the sealed angel's remains, a strong sense of mystery came over him.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun felt relieved.

This guy didn't show any hostility immediately, as if he wasn't an enemy.

Moreover, that sense of mystery is also a symbol of strength.

No need to think about it, it must be extremely strong.

So strong that you don’t need to think about how to deal with it.

Ji Xun and the two men just watched like this. The Niutou Master's attitude toward the cloaked man was obviously much better than before.

It seems that there is a sense of recognition between the two?
After catching the differences in attitude details, Ji Xun felt even more strange.

This is an ancient ruin that has been sealed for thousands of years. Can anyone know Disaster?

Although he didn't understand what they were talking about, Ji Xun also understood that this mysterious man also came here to forge items.

It seems that I am not the only one who has such a tricky idea.

After the Niutou Master handed over several shining things to the mysterious man, the two parties exchanged something.

As he said that, the mysterious man also set his sights on the scalpels on the forging table.

Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly at the same time, and he immediately became alert again.

This was the scene he least wanted to see.

The scalpel is not only his weapon, it is priceless and of great significance.

More importantly, whenever someone sees this scalpel, it is very likely that others will be able to guess his identity.

After all, the wanted poster for a mountain worth over [-] million yuan is posted all over the world.

As if communicating with the Minotaur to confirm something, the mysterious man had no interest in the sword at all. Instead, he sneered: "Tsk, tsk, how dare you promise such a price in order to forge these knives?"

"???"

Ji Xun understood what he was saying and immediately realized that the other person was talking to him.

Listening to that tone, he also felt vaguely that something was not good.

I thought about what Old Man Xu said before, what price the craftsman would have to pay for forging this sword.

I didn't understand it at the time, so I agreed.

Isn't it a price we can't afford?

Listening to this tone, it seems to be true.

Seeing that the thing was about to be forged, and there was a person in front of him who understood the ancient Talun language, Ji Xun didn't want to make random guesses, and asked directly: "Senior, can I ask you, what is needed to forge this sword? The price?"

Hearing this, the mysterious man asked: "You don't know?"

Ji Xun said truthfully: "I don't understand the language, so I don't know."

If this person is willing to talk, you can basically be sure that there is no hostility.

Moreover, this kind of relic-level flying knife is fatally attractive to ordinary people, but not necessarily to top experts.

When the mysterious man heard this, he didn't hesitate and said directly: "It said that forging this sword requires the consumption of very precious soul. That material needs to be tempered from the pure soul of the girl. And you promise to forge it well." After using the sword, your female companion will be sacrificed to become the furnace guide of the forge to make up for the consumption."

"."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xun's expression changed instantly.

So it turns out that enchantment requires souls as an inducer?

Catalina on the side is also full of surprise, the price is this?
If she really wanted to take action now, she really had no confidence that she could survive in Ji Xun's hands.

However, Katarina's expression was very calm, as if she was determined that nothing like that would happen.

Ji Xun did not disappoint her and said without hesitation: "Then I won't."

These scalpels were indeed what he wanted.

But he didn't want to pay the price, and he couldn't pay it.

But once it's forged, the materials probably can't be returned.

You can't take it by force.

Can only give up.

The mysterious man seemed slightly surprised that he gave up so decisively, and his tone was playful: "Since you agreed and said no, do you think you can leave?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the blacksmith shop instantly cooled down.

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Catalina beside him.

If you really want to take action against a calamity of unknown rank, you probably have no chance of winning.

But not enough to scare him.

I just feel bad that I have harmed others because of my own reasons.

Catalina knew what he wanted to express, she looked very calm and said in a joking tone: "How about you agree to it?"

Ji Xun smiled and said nothing.

But I also know that this temporary teammate is ready to take action together.

The mysterious man looked at the attitude of the two people and thought about something for a moment.

He looked at Catalina again and said clearly: "Tsk, tsk, your own hero's fate is unstable, and you still think you can share his misfortune?"

Ji Xun frowned slightly as he listened.

It seemed that this mysterious man saw something that he didn't know.

"you"

When Catalina heard this, her expression instantly became serious.

She did use some secret techniques just now, and she planned to fight first.

But that's not the point.

The point is, even though the story of my hero trial was leaked,

But it was also the top brass within her Lionheart family who knew!
How did this person see it?

She wasn't stupid either. She guessed something right away. Instead of pretending to be stupid, she asked directly: "Your Excellency, are you here for me?"

Ji Xun had the same idea.

This person was not hostile to him, but he seemed to be unfriendly to Catalina.

The mysterious man shook his head: "The fate of a hero is indeed very special. But you are not that good now."

Catalina's expression relaxed slightly when she heard this. Such a strong person would not tell lies.

But at the same time, this person did not deny it.

Before it was changed, Catalina must have relied on her status as a high-ranking noble and ignored everyone.

But now she immediately changed her tone, asking for advice sincerely like Ji Xun before: "Senior, please give me some advice."

The mysterious man said calmly: "If you can't even figure out who is really going to harm you. Even if your heroic fate is condensed and formed, you are destined to be unable to keep it."

This kind of thing involves a lot.

The other party didn't say it explicitly, but he actually gave enough hints.

When Catalina heard this, her mind immediately became active.

The Changfang, the Bai family, the Cao family, and the Oran survivors who just broke off their engagement?

An enemy I didn't expect?
Catalina suddenly realized something, and her eyes flashed sharply.

She bowed her hands to the mysterious man and said, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance! Today's kindness will be remembered in my heart!"

The mysterious man listened but shook his head and said in a nonchalant tone: "You go. Otherwise, it will be too late. Besides, you can't help your friends if you stay here."

At this mention, it was as if the gears of fate had been intervened.

The fate gold coin in Catalina's hand trembled slightly, and she suddenly felt a sense of a big crisis approaching!
After she looked at each other with Biantou and Ji Xun, she turned around and quickly ran out of the blacksmith shop and disappeared into the alley.

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the shop.

Ji Xun looked at the mysterious man in front of him, and he really didn't understand his purpose.

It looked like it was aimed at Catalina.

But his demeanor was as if he knew himself.

Ji Xun tentatively said: "Senior."

The mysterious man didn't think much of it. He sighed silently and said, "Take this knife away. As for the cost of forging the knife, I paid for it for you."

And this good thing?

Ji Xun didn't think it was a pie from the sky, and asked cautiously: "Why do you want to help me, senior?"

The mysterious man didn't mean to say much, and said calmly: "If you can leave the ruins alive, you will know by then."

"???"

When Ji Xun heard this, the more he tasted it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Such a great kindness, just give it away?

Also, is this a hint of fatal danger that I will encounter?

Prophet?
Or do you know any news?
However, without much thought, the mysterious man disappeared into the blacksmith shop out of thin air, just like he had come and gone without a trace in the underground palace before.

Ji Xun looked at him with a shocked and dignified expression.

Only after seeing him up close did he realize how brilliant this movement was.

Thinking of what he just said, Ji Xun glanced at the six shining flying knives that had been forged on the table. He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately ran out of the door with the knife in hand.

Ji Xun originally wanted to look for opportunities in the ruins of Xia Mucheng to see if he could find other opportunities.

But now, all I want to do is go out first.

He didn't know why the mysterious man helped him just now.

But the fact is that he got the scalpel without paying any price.

After smearing his own blood and imprinting his spiritual brand on six brand-new scalpels, the subtle connection between that spirit and the weapons echoed.

He immediately felt as if his mental power had transformed into tentacles with six more sharp fingers.

It's like a flesh and blood body has armor, and suddenly the pain of fighting is gone.

I tried it, and the enchanted flying knife became more sensitive to mental control.

The six flying knives were concealed and sharp, and Ji Xun's multiple thoughts could be perfectly controlled.

This relic is extremely suitable for his current state, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magic weapon.

With six knives in hand, I feel confident.

At least if you meet an opponent who can handle it again, he will definitely be the opponent's devil.

But there was no time to be happy, the current situation didn't seem to be good.

"It's strange, since when did I know such a master?"

Ji Xun searched his mind for people he knew.

He is a wanted criminal now, and not many people dare to help him.

Qin Rushi from the Revolutionary Army who is a top expert he knows and is willing to help?
But obviously not that one.

If Qin Ru really comes, he will definitely not hide his head and face.

But it just happened that the person just gave me a big gift for nothing.

Ji Xun was thinking in his mind while running around the city rapidly.

He also deliberately avoided areas where there was fighting.

However, as he was running, he suddenly saw a figure on the street following him quickly.

That full back of evil ghost tattoos and soaring evil aura, who is it if not Xie Guozhong?
Xie Guozhong shouted loudly: "Quickly leave!"

Ji Xun heard that the speed of his feet was a little faster, and he asked anxiously: "What happened?"

Xie Guozhong's eyes looked solemn as never before, and he shouted: "The higher-ups in the bureau have ordered you to be killed!"

"???"

Ji Xun listened with a serious expression, but also full of doubts.

It is true that he has many enemies, but what does it have to do with the top brass of Bureau X?
Could it be a wanted order for the Cao family?
Not so much.

Bureau
