Cataclysm King

Chapter 251 Old Man Xu erected the stone tablet himself?

The dragon phosphorus snake chased the escaped mantra pottery and left the temple, and the crisis seemed to be resolved.

Ji Xun was originally trying to get some [corrupted blood mediator] from the blood pool.

Wait until the hidden dangers of corruption are resolved before absorbing it.

After all, such pure and extraordinary characteristics are very rare to encounter.

But before long, a mysterious force swept over and drained the blood pool.

Ji Xun also guessed that it was probably the "Scarlet Corruption" that escaped that consumed the psychic mediums sacrificed to him by vampire believers.

Similarly, those statues that were originally the ancestors of the Bai family were completely turned into powder, gathered into invisible divine power, and disappeared into the void.

Looking at it this way, there should be a fierce battle between the jar and the big snake somewhere outside.

Both sides are competing against each other.

Fortunately, the battlefield was not in the temple, and Ji Xun was safe.

As for the two unconscious people, Old Man Xu looked at them and said, "It's okay," so it was really nothing serious.

Ji Xun was very happy when he unexpectedly got a cataclysmic level [Ring of the God Thief].

After pondering for a moment, he started to meditate cross-legged.

Not long after, Song Yu and Little Turtle Dove also woke up from their coma.

Song Yu opened his eyes and saw the old face with gaping front teeth looking at him, and muttered to Ji Xun, "This girl is awake."

Song Yu seemed to have yet to return his soul, his face was blank.

The little turtle dove on the side was patted on the face by Old Man Xu and woke up from his coma.

The two of them felt as if they were in a dream when they looked at the temple in ruins.

I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to be alive.

I'm not dead yet?
  With countless complicated thoughts in her mind, Song Yu felt lingering fear. The group of fanatical believers had left too many shadows on her mind, which had never experienced any danger.

Finally, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ji Xun not far away, and she felt inexplicably at peace.

After a while, the chaebol lady confirmed that she was still alive and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, where are those vampires? What happened?"

Both of them were unconscious while fighting vampires before.

They didn't see what happened next.

Ji Xun didn't intend to explain too much to them. He just explained casually: "The ancestors of the Bai family left some backup plans, and the source of the pollution should be dealt with."

He frowned and added: "It's quite troublesome. You'd better not get involved."

After all, the "scarlet corruption" of the old god will be polluted even if he mentions his name.

Being curious is not a good thing now.

He didn't want the two of them to leave any trouble.

Don't know for the best.

"Oh."

Listening to Ji Xun's explanation, Song Yu obediently didn't ask any more questions.

In a blink of an eye, she looked at the mithril everywhere, blinked and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, what about the mithril here?"

If you can't ask about vampires or anything like that, then ask something you can.

After all, this time we are here for the mithril mine, so of course we need to pay more attention to it.

Ji Xun thought about it and said, "The pollution is gone, so we should be able to mine it. But..."

At this point he hesitated for a moment.

The pollution is indeed gone, but there is still an "aboriginal person" here.

To be honest, this set of mineral veins was discovered by the ancestors of the Bai family, and a large snake that seemed to have lived for thousands of years was left to guard it.

Although Ji Xun felt that that kind of being would have little interest in this kind of material.

But if this person is disturbed during the mining process, it will definitely not work.

Song Yu didn't know what he was worried about and asked, "What's wrong?"

"this one"

Just as Ji Xun was about to say something, he suddenly felt the pressure of a high-ranking creature coming from the huge temple.

He was suddenly startled: "He's back!"

The unique coercion of dragon-born creatures is that big snake from before!
  Probably because he had just chased and killed the "Clay Pot", this dragon-scaled king snake still had a murderous aura in its aura when it came back.

This coercion was like a thundercloud at the end of the world. Even if Ji Xun sensed it, he felt his eyebrows were as heavy as lead and he almost fainted.

Ordinary people simply cannot bear it.

Song Yu and Little Turtle Jiu had just woken up and before they understood what happened, they were struck by the coercion and fainted again.

Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless. He glanced at the old man Xu with a normal expression from the corner of his eye, then stood up and looked up at the ceiling.

The big snake also looked at the few humans here with its amber vertical pupils.

exactly
  He looked at Old Man Xu with a look up and down.

Locked in by that super coercion, Old Man Xu seemed to have recalled something.

Those turbid eyes gradually lit up with a clear and bright light, as if they understood everything.

One person and one snake looked at each other and counted their breaths.

The big snake spoke human words: "Human, who are you?"

Old man Xu looked at it and said nothing.

I want to say it, but I can’t seem to remember it, and I don’t know where to start.

Ji Xun's eyes twitched when he heard this question: "What exactly? Did the big snake see how special the old man is?"

The big snake didn't look hostile before.

Now it seems that it is not possible.

The caution in those vertical pupils was as sharp as a needle.

Although Ji Xun knew that Old Man Xu was very powerful, he was not sure if he could be more powerful than this big snake.

Come to think of it, there shouldn't be one, right?

After all, this big snake is an immortal who has lived for thousands of years.

But the big snake asked what this meant?
  It didn't seem like he was hostile, but rather like he wanted to confirm something.

However, before he could figure it out, the big snake suddenly muttered to itself and said something that made Ji Xun's eyes wide open in shock: "Human? Oh, maybe you are not either. But you are not a walking spirit god." Dao. I am very curious about what kind of existence you are? Three thousand years ago, I watched you erect a monument in the temple, and now you are back. Why is this?"

"."

Old Man Xu had the same expression as he listened, but his eyes became deeper and deeper.

The scene behind those eyes seemed to be looking back three thousand years ago. The little snake was entangled on the seal and licking the seal, leaking out the slightest bit of divine power.

Hearing this, Ji Xun felt that his thoughts were getting knotted.

What's the situation?
  There is a lot of information in this sentence!

The big snake has indeed lived for three thousand years
  But it is not important.

What's important is that it actually met Old Man Xu three thousand years ago?

I think when Ji Xun heard from Catalina that this mysterious old man had lived for two hundred years, he was shocked and speechless.

But now, it has suddenly risen to three thousand years?
  And looking at this posture, Old Man Xu was already like this three thousand years ago.

Otherwise, King Snake wouldn't be able to recognize him at a glance.

"Isn't it a mistake?"

This was the first reaction in Ji Xun's mind.

This king snake is a fairy. In a sense, it is already a god that has become a god. It can be understood that it can live for three thousand years.

How can you, a human, live for so long?

Oh no!
  Orochi said that Old Man Xu might not be human.

When Ji Xun thought of this, no matter how well he managed his expression, he couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

So, this old man is not a human being, what kind of existence is he?
  There is another problem!
  This stone tablet was actually erected by Mr. Xu himself?

Ji Xun always thought that this black stone tablet was an ancient relic that recorded the secrets of a higher civilization. Old man Xu was looking for it to pursue some big secret.

Then you told me that this monument was erected by Old Man Xu?

Isn't this contradictory?
  He erected a stone monument himself, and then searched for it in the endless years to come.

I can’t remember what I’m looking for, where I am, or what’s written on the monument.
  It wasn't until I found the stone tablet that I seemed to have regained some memory.

Ji Xun was confused by this logical relationship.

But a thought suddenly popped into his mind: How does one feel about Alzheimer's Memo?

Often, conjectures that you think are absurd may actually be the truth closest to the truth.

Intuition told Ji Xun,

There is some high-level power that forces Old Man Xu to forget certain memories.

But he must remember.

That's why I erect monuments again and again and retrieve my memories again and again.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun was so overwhelmed by the heavy sense of mystery that he breathed heavily, and a strong desire for knowledge aroused in his heart.

At this moment, Old Man Xu, whose aura was already extremely vague, did not respond to the topic just now, but said lightly: "The Tarun Dynasty has been destroyed. You have fulfilled your responsibilities."

The King Snake's tone suddenly became a little melancholy and a lot gentler: "Really? Sure enough, you still couldn't resist the catastrophe. I had already guessed that no one in the Bai family could sense my existence for thousands of years. It seems that it is gone too. The elements in the Eastern Wasteland are too thin, and the promise of protecting the white dragon has been fulfilled. I also plan to leave here."

Old Man Xu slightly squinted his eyes with traces of endless years, and said calmly: "You have been stealing the divine power of faith for three thousand years, and you really have hope of taking the last step. Unfortunately, your road will be full of disasters. If you go like this, you are somewhat sure that you can make it through. .”

Hearing this, the king snake's expression changed obviously, and he actually showed a hint of horror: "What kind of existence are you?!"

Ji Xun instantly felt like the world was spinning and his pupils dilated.

In a daze, he watched Old Man Xu glance at the big snake, as if communicating something.

But at this moment, there is no sound in my ears.

"Hey, kid, are you okay?"

I don't know how long it took.

Old Man Xu's call came to Ji Xun's ears.

After coming back to his senses, his eyes focused. After waiting for a while, the memory was continued in fragments.

Ji Xun felt as if he had had a brief and outrageous dream.

He remembered that it seemed like the big snake was back and talking to Old Man Xu again?

It's strange that I can't remember what they said.

Why do I have “outrageous” thoughts?
  It seemed like I had a very weird dream.

Ji Xun was a little confused.

Looking at the old man with a lewd smile in front of him, he asked: "Senior, what's wrong with me?"

Old Man Xu also pursed his lips and said quietly: "I don't know. You have been standing like this just now. I thought you were contaminated or something."

"."

Ji Xun frowned as he listened.

Could it be that he was under an illusion again?

He thought of some incomplete images in his memory and asked, "By the way, where's that big snake?"

Old man Xu said casually: "I've been here before, and I'm leaving."

Ji Xun: "Leaving?"

"Ah."

Old man Xu thought about it, gestured with his hands, and added a description: "Whoosh~ it disappeared in a flash."

As he spoke, the old man put a piece of mithril ore in his pocket, and added: "Oh, I asked for it for you, and it said you can take away the mithril."

This is also a benefit for prospectors. If they discover a mineral vein, they can take some as their own reward.

The old man was not polite either.

As always, he is greedy for money and afraid of death.

"."

Ji Xun knew that nothing could be found out by asking.

But he always felt as if he had heard something extraordinary.

But can't remember.

"Is it possible that I was also infected with amnesia by Old Man Xu?"

Ji Xun laughed at himself in his heart.

Ji Xun had no intention of staying in this mine any longer and was ready to leave first.

For things like mining, just arrange for professionals to come later.

The most important thing is to be afraid of trouble.

The jar would eventually fall into the hands of Bureau X agents, who were likely already scouring the area by the time vampires were sacrificed in the town of Bolton.

When the time comes to be discovered here, there will be a lot more things going on.

Ji Xun didn't want to be arrested and interrogated.

Song Yu and Little Turtle Dove were still unconscious. The pressure just now was too strong and they might be unconscious for a few days.

Ji Xun picked up Song Yu and threw him on his back.

Old Man Xu also twisted the little turtledove.

After dealing with the traces around them, the four of them returned the same way.

The ancient ruins in the tunnels we passed before were also in ruins, with blocked rubble everywhere.

Digging holes along the way.

I didn't encounter any danger.

An hour later, the four people appeared outside the mine again.

Ji Xun didn't plan to stay in this area for a long time. He and Old Man Xu chose another road with an underground river, dealt with the traces, and headed back towards Bolton Machinery Town.

Through mountains, rivers, streams, cliffs and hills, woodlands and swamps
  Even if he was carrying one person, Ji Xun's speed was not slow at all.

I took a trip to the wilderness, found the mithril deposit on the [Prospecting Map], and got a great opportunity. There was no danger.

His steps became lighter.

However, as he walked, Ji Xun found that the heartbeat of his delicate body behind him suddenly changed from gentle and even to slightly accelerated.

He knew that Song Yu was awake.

But the chaebol lady didn't say a word after she woke up.

She was like a quiet kitten, lying on her back pretending to sleep.

The breeze blew against his cheeks, and the corners of Ji Xun's mouth raised slightly.

He didn't say anything and continued on his way.

Song Yu did wake up, but his head was still groggy.

Broad back, very stable feeling.

She just woke up and wanted to stop for a moment, but when she saw clearly that it was on Ji Xun's back, she fell silent.

Except for being carried on my father's back when I was little, I have never felt so at ease in the past ten years.

It was obviously going over mountains and ridges, but it was not bumpy at all. Although Song Yu was a bad card master, his vision was not low.

She knew this was a very good luck skill.

This made Song Yu, who had been exhausted for a long time, feel very comfortable and lazy, making him want to lie down all the time.

But as I walked, my thoughts gradually became clearer.

The adventure suit he was wearing was already thin. Lying on Ji Xunben, Song Yu could clearly feel the warmth of the two people's bodies blending together.

Unconsciously, it reminded her of the charming scene in the mine before.

Although he was under an illusion, after all, he had an intimate contact without any barriers, and that picture couldn't help but flash in his mind at this moment.

Unconsciously, my cheeks turned red.

Hmm. It seems to be nothing.

After all, Xina said, many ladies of their own age have tried it.

Nothing surprising either.

And it’s okay if I just have nothing to do with Mr. Ji Xun.

Besides, why not?
  Song Yu felt that those thoughts could not be suppressed and comforted himself a few words.

After all, she is the liveliest girl at her age. Thinking of this, a hint of playfulness flashed across her smart crystal eyes, and she laughed unconsciously.

After all, this laughter couldn't help him from waking up.

Song Yu, however, shamelessly had no intention of thinking about it and simply continued to crawl on.

Ji Xun didn't know why her mood suddenly improved, so he asked, "Why are you so happy when you think of it?"

The calm tone made the girl feel at ease.

Song Yu wanted to say something, but his crystal eyes turned and he responded: "I must be very happy to have found such a rich mithril mine."

"Oh, yes."

Ji Xun also smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, a six or seven meter cliff appeared in front of him, and he jumped up calmly.

There was originally no danger, but the two of them were flying away. Song Yu looked at the bottomless ravine, his heart tightened, and he instinctively tightened the hand hanging on his neck.

This contact is even more intimate.

Ji Xun clearly felt the soft flesh of his chest pressing against him and said with a smile, "Do you want to come down and walk by yourself?"

Before, a lady's reserve would have made Song Yu reject such disrespectful behavior.

But now that it was cooked, she shook her head decisively and said, "I don't want it."

As she said that, she made a lame excuse for herself: "Ah, Mr. Ji Xun, I'm still very weak. I seem to have been injured before. Please carry me for a while."

Listening to the playful tone, Ji Xun's mouth contained a faint smile.

The two of them smiled as if they had regained the familiarity and tacit understanding they had communicated through letters before.

The breeze blew, and a strand of hair on Song Yu's temples fell down and touched Ji Xun's neck, and a faint fragrance entered his nose.

The time became romantic for a while.

Along the way, the two chatted a bit about the situation in the mine before.

Ji Xun was used to seeing life and death. After the incident, he didn't feel that it was anything special.

But for Song Yu, a rich man, this was the most special adventure in his life.

Looking back, it was really a series of life and death.

If it weren't for Ji Xun, he would have died several times.

Just like the phone call story I heard when I was a child, the young and handsome warrior saved the adventurous girl who was in danger during the trip.

This is the most beautiful way a girl of this age can think of to meet.

Song Yu felt that he was really lucky.

Because she met it.

This is a story that can be told to future generations as a fairy tale.

She even thought of a scene. When she was gray-haired, she was sitting by the fireplace, with the red fire shining on a few chubby little guys. She slowly told the story of her youth: Grandma.
  Wow, what would the full story look like?

I'm looking forward to it just thinking about it.

Oh, it turns out I am in the story now.

Suddenly something occurred to her. Song Yujing's eyes were full of expectation. She leaned next to his ear and asked expectantly: "Mr. Ji Xun, I want to invite you to my home. I told you before."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Xun didn't hesitate: "Okay."

"Uh-huh!"

Song Yu nodded repeatedly as he listened, and his pretty face suddenly brightened.

PS. Here is a picture, Song Yu in adventurous outfit.jpg (waiting for review). I don’t know if this picture fits everyone’s image? If it's not suitable, you can send us a picture of a character that you think is suitable.
