Cataclysm King

Chapter 184 Leaving Xia Mu City, wanted from all directions
PS. Kavin, the content is as mentioned.

"Boom!"

Ji Xun flew upside down and smashed a large piece of bluestone, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, the mysterious man had disappeared like a ghost.

If he hadn't been hit like this, he would have even thought it was an illusion.

The severe pain caused by the injury swept through his body like a tide, which made Ji Xun unable to think about why the mysterious man attacked him.

After a long pause, Ji Xun confirmed that he was not dead.

As if he was breathing a breath of air from the moment he was about to die from drowning, he took a few deep breaths: "Huhu."

But just these few breaths of air felt like inhaling countless steel needles, pricking the lungs with holes and causing pain.

Ji Xun couldn't hold back and spurted out another mouthful of scarlet blood, laughing to himself: "This injury is really terrible."

He had just received that mysterious blow on his back, and he felt that it was probably the most serious injury he had suffered since time travel.

It's almost like hanging on by a thread.

But he didn't die.

It's good not to die.

Ji Xun calmed down and originally wanted to use "Cell Activity Boiling" to heal his injuries.

However, as soon as the magic power was activated, his expression suddenly changed.

Because he immediately discovered that when the mantra flowed into his meridians, it hurt like fire!
Ji Xun immediately felt that something was wrong and stopped.

After careful sensing, he discovered that there was a strange energy flowing around in his body, preventing him from using any spell power.

"what happened?"

When Ji Xun thought of this, his brows instantly furrowed.

He really couldn't understand why the mysterious man didn't just kill him directly, but instead used this method to torture himself?

Not being able to use magic means not just being unable to recover from injuries.

He cannot transform into a beast or fight.

Almost equivalent to a useless person.

In this state, in the ruins, if you encounter an enemy, you are waiting to die.

Not so much.

Ji Xun didn't understand, but when he thought about it, he vaguely guessed something: "Is that guy trying to hint at me again?"

This unnecessary behavior seems to be harmful, but if you think about it carefully, it is completely unnecessary for a master of that level.

Think again about the encounter in the blacksmith shop.

If he really wanted to take action, he should have taken action long ago.

Is it because you want to steal the angel?

Not right either.

Ji Xun really couldn't understand.

Since the man in the underground palace could easily open the coffin and release the remains of the angel.

In other words, he must know the information about the Weeping Angels better than others.

It makes sense to grab things.

But it's really incomprehensible to just grab things and then to injure them without killing them.

Ji Xun couldn't understand, so he could only take out a healing potion and pour it into his mouth.

Although it is a powerful potion, the recovery effect on the high-level law damage caused by this top-level card master is very limited.

After pouring a potion, it was like pouring a glass of water into a raging fire. Ji Xun still didn't feel that his injury had eased at all.

But staying where you are is not an option.

Now that the angel is gone, if the people from Bureau X catch up, he will definitely die.

Ji Xunqiang stood up and wanted to leave.

But as soon as I exerted a little force, I immediately felt as if a broken bone had penetrated into my lungs.

His throat couldn't help but feel fishy, ​​and another mouthful of blood foam spilled out of the corner of his mouth.

I tried walking, like an old lady pacing.Whenever I exerted force, my muscles felt as if they were broken, causing pain and cold sweat on my forehead.

This state is really no different from that of a useless person.

Fortunately, Ji Xun always prepared mechanical skeletons in his storage ring.

After he took out a suit and put it on, the steam boiler provided most of the power, so he could walk without any problems.

The smell traces were dealt with again.

Ji Xun didn't dare to delay, and walked quickly in the direction of the previous train station.

However, coincidentally, it was not long after he left.

Several members of Bureau X's tribunal wearing black suits found the place where he had just stayed.

The mustachioed captain looked at the broken bluestone in front of him and the traces that had been cleaned up, his expression also looked very confused.

"Captain, we have lost our direction."

"Has it been discovered? It's not like that. The fate is locked. Unless the person dies, there is no exemption."

"The target disappeared in the ruins for a while before. It may be that some experts intervened to cover it up."

"It's also possible that it was affected by some intermittent high-level relic."

"Keep looking! Notify the Lionheart family and send out the wanted order. We must not let the target escape alive this time!"

"Yes, Captain."

"."

Several of them were professional trackers. After checking the surrounding traces, they quickly determined the direction in which Ji Xun escaped and pursued him again.

Ji Xun relied on the mechanical skeleton to reach the train platform without any danger.

He didn't know where the others came from.

But before, they came to Xia Mu City by train.

The only possibility he could think of to leave the ruins safely and alive at the moment was to take this ghost train.

[Bazquez's Nether Train] is a neutral disaster, but the strange time field on the train is the best protective barrier.

If you don't understand the laws of time, everyone will die.

Moreover, they were the only ones who came alive on the train, and no one else knew about the strangeness of this train.

If someone catches up, they might be able to trick a bunch of people.

Ji Xun stood on the platform and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't think anything of it at first, but after surviving the train and becoming familiar with the "Law of Time +18", he clearly felt that there was something wrong with the time on the platform as well.

He had guessed a possibility before, that the platform and the train might be one.

As long as there are people on the platform, the Netherworld Train will appear soon.

Once on the platform, the only option is to get on the bus.

If you don't get on the bus, you will be wiped out by certain rules.

Sure enough, shortly after Ji Xungang stood on the platform, a translucent steam train came from the fog in the distance.

Just like the previous ride, the conductor covered in black air was waiting by the door.

Ji Xun walked up dragging his seriously injured body.

Entering the familiar carriage, Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought there was no one alive in the car.

However, what is unexpected is that there is not only one, but also an acquaintance.

With that waterfall of golden hair, even though she was wearing a full-face gas mask, Ji Xun recognized that this was Katarina who had just separated not long ago.

But the eldest lady of the Lionheart family is not in a good condition.

Although there were injuries on his body when we separated before, it was not like it is now, with blood stains everywhere on his clothes.

There were also several flesh-and-blood wounds that were bleeding out.

This was obviously someone who had just experienced an unusually fierce battle.

The train pulled into the station, and Catalina was also very alert. She originally thought there would be a fierce battle.

But after seeing that the person getting on the car was Ji Xun, she immediately relaxed.

After taking a look at Ji Xun, who could barely walk with the help of a mechanical arm, she guessed something.

The two brothers and sisters smiled knowingly.

Ji Xun walked over and sat across from her, with a relaxed smile on his face and asked, "What's wrong? He's hurt so badly."

Catalina said lightly: "I just killed a group of people who caught up with the train."

As she said that, she asked without saying anything: "Do you have any healing potion on you? Give me two. If you can get out alive this time, I will return it to you later."

Ji Xun knew that she didn't bring any good potions for the trial, so he took out a few potions with a smile and asked casually: "Who wants to kill you?"

He was really curious about what the mysterious man was hinting about before.

Hearing this, Catalina glanced at Ji Xun, as if she had something to hide.

But after only hesitating for a moment, she didn't hide it and said: "I just realized that the Lionheart family has never expected to let a woman be the leader, no matter how good it is. If I can just marry someone as a political bargaining chip, That's all, it still has some value. But I refused. Some elders in my family thought that if I didn't choose marriage, I would have no value, and they even threatened me, so they took action. And my brothers also wanted to steal. I’m very interested in the fate of heroes. Anyway, there are quite a few people who don’t want me to leave the ruins alive.”

His tone was calm, but his eyes shone with an unyielding forbearance and coldness.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the corners of Ji Xun's mouth rose slightly, and he became somewhat interested.

This story has some meaning.Judging from what Katarina said, the person who wanted to kill her might still be a close relative.

I heard that Chujiu was being hunted by her brother before, and I thought she was an illegitimate daughter in the fight for the throne, so she might be an exception.

Now I see that the legitimate daughter is treated the same way.

It seems that even the heirs of the top wealthy families cannot escape this problem.

Catalina didn't want to talk more about this kind of thing. While treating the wound, she said, "What about you? What's going on?"

Ji Xun shrugged: "I can't tell clearly."

Catalina was also slightly surprised when she heard this: "???"

Ji Xun: "This injury I got was from the one I met in the blacksmith shop before."

"what?"

Catalina's expression became even more confused.

Ji Xun pondered for a moment, then expressed his guess: "Although I don't know why. But now that I am alive and getting into the car, I think it is more likely that he wants to help me."

"."

Catalina frowned as she listened, apparently not thinking about the connection between serious injury and help.

The two of them pondered for a moment, but neither of them came up with a result.

At this time, the Netherworld Train also started "woo woo woo".

Ji Xun didn't dwell on the question just now, and instead asked, "Why don't you get out of the car?"

When he thought about it, it was strange that Catalina came back after she had already left.

Catalina took out the destiny gold coin and said bluntly: "I have been on the bus twice, but I haven't waited for the right opportunity to get off the bus. The divination told me that I will die if I get off the bus."

Ji Xun smiled as he listened: "Miss Carter's situation is very bad."

This was obviously meant to be a joke, but Catalina didn't see anything strange on her face and asked, "Isn't it the same, Your Excellency?"

Ji Xun smiled brightly: "Haha."

The current situation is almost a dead end for both of them.

But as soon as the words came out in a joking tone, the solemn atmosphere instantly relaxed.

No one spoke for a moment in the carriage.

There was only the sound of the train moving.

Catalina asked again: "Do you have any ideas?"

Although they will not be affected by the time realm on the train, they cannot always sit on the train.

If someone really discovered it, they would be blocked sooner or later.

"No."

Ji Xun shrugged, showing a helpless expression.

At this time, the conductor walked in again.

Just like last time, it took out a teapot and gave Ji Xun half a cup of tea.

Only he has it.

Catalina still doesn't get this treatment.

Seeing this, Ji Xun felt very strange.

He suddenly connected this special treatment to the previous anomaly of the Weeping Angels.

There seems to be something special "something" about him that gives him special treatment.

It's a pity that I don't understand the ancient Talung language, so I can't figure out the reason.

The ghost conductor poured tea, and Ji Xun said politely: "Thank you."

The conductor seemed to understand and nodded.

When Ji Xun saw this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Can he understand it?

Before the conductor left, he asked tentatively: "Well, could you please take us to a safer location to get off the train?"

Catalina was stunned when she heard what he said: Can this be done?

But then, she also cast an expectant gaze.

Yes, since it's a train, can I choose to get off midway?
No one has figured out the route of this Netherworld Train yet, and no one can stop it from getting off the train in the middle.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Even Ji Xun didn't expect any response.

However, what surprised the two of them was that the conductor nodded again!
Ji Xun was obviously stunned for a moment, watching the conductor turn to leave, and quickly said again: "Thank you very much!"

The conductor did not respond, turned around and left.

Catalina on the opposite side was equally surprised when she saw that things suddenly took a turn for the better.

However, she was not surprised by the conductor, but looked at Ji Xun who was sitting opposite her, her eyelashes lightly blinking with unknown thoughts.

This guy really seems to be of great help every time I meet him.

As if standing at another node of fate, the gold coin of fate finally
The ghost train suddenly stopped.

There was a fog outside the window, and I didn’t know where it was.

Ji Xun and Catalina got off the bus and said thank you to the ghost conductor.

The two of them walked into the fog.

Both found themselves in a very strange place.

There was fog ahead, and there was a thick fog beneath my feet.

It’s unclear whether this is a real substance or a sensory illusion.

It's like time and space are mixed together.

Both of them have understood some laws of time, so they find this feeling very strange.

It's like walking in the long river of time, looking at the surroundings from the perspective of a high-dimensional creature.

But their understanding is not enough to comprehend that feeling.

The two walked like this.

As we walked, the shadows of buildings gradually appeared in the surrounding fog.

They were some dilapidated high-rise buildings.

It's getting clearer.

At a certain moment, as if reality and reality were changing, the road underfoot suddenly turned into a broken cement road.

Ji Xun looked at the surrounding buildings and said, "We seem to have emerged from the pit. We are now in the ruins of the city."

Catalina nodded: "Yes."

The two of them exhaled at the same time, as if they really came out alive.

But the sound of gunfire from time to time in the city told them that it was not peaceful here.

Now that everyone has come out, Ji Xun also said: "Then... meet again by fate?"

Catalina said: "I'll give you a section, at least until you get closer to the Lion City. There are many undead monsters in the ruins now, and if you encounter them now, you will be in a lot of trouble."

Ji Xun listened and smiled and said: "I can't use the magic power now. If you follow me, you may be dragged down."

Catalina didn't take it seriously: "It's hard to say who is dragging down who."

Ji Xun Xiaoxiao didn't say much.

No matter who is dragging whom down, as far as the current situation is concerned, the two of them have a higher chance of survival if they join forces.

What's more, they don't think their troubles are solved just like this.

Ji Xun also felt that his condition was getting worse and worse.

The strange energy in the body has been wreaking havoc, and the injury shows no sign of improvement at all.

The two seriously wounded men walked together in the ruins.

After the ruins at the bottom of the pit were broken open, more high-level disasters seemed to appear in the city.

From time to time in the mist in the distance, you can see some weird-shaped flying monsters, or a surprisingly large black shadow that you don’t know what it is.
Ji Xun and the two avoided those obviously dangerous areas.

But even if they are seriously injured, their fighting power is not weak.

Although I encountered some low-level undead monsters along the way, there were no surprises along the way.

However, just when Ji Xun and the two were walking in the ruins.

On the other side, wanted orders have been distributed to various large and small hunter camps in the ruins.

Not long after, almost all the large hunting groups in the city got the news that they were looking for someone in the ruins with a heavy bounty on their head.

"Tsk, tsk, the bounty for this S wanted criminal has increased again! What has this guy done? Why has the federal government issued a wanted order?"

"It is said that he is a backbone believer of the Old Day Sect. After looking at the information, he said that he is a second-level person. He can get a bounty of 1000 million for hunting. As long as you provide information, you can get a bounty of at least [-] million. Tsk, tsk, this is about to happen. It's just You’ll get rich.”

"Don't underestimate him. He is a ruthless man who has killed Governor Cao. Do you think he can kill anyone? I estimate his strength. Even a third-level card master may not be able to please him if he encounters him."

"Oh, the Lionheart family is also looking for the eldest lady of the Lionheart family. She said she ran away from home. There is a million reward for finding clues."

"Tsk, tsk, the eldest ladies of these noble families are so full and idle all day, why do they run away from home?"

"."

For a time, not only various professional bounty hunter teams set off.

Almost all the forces including the Lion Heart Family, the Cao Family, the Bai Family, and Bureau X participated in the search operation.

But no one thought that the wanted Ji Xun and his two men had left the pit and came to the surface.
