Cataclysm King

Chapter 276 [Scarlet Corruption of Active Blood Vessels]

Secret ruins.

Just a moment ago, the whole city was boiling with a blood mist that threatened to drown out the sun. In the blink of an eye, it was like ebbing tide.

The morale of the card masters who were fighting fiercely at the exit of the secret realm was instantly boosted.

The expressions of the vampires changed drastically and they were retreating steadily.

When the blood mist is exhausted, they will not only be burned when exposed to the sun, but their healing ability will also be greatly limited, and their combat power will be suppressed by most of them.

At this moment.

Count Nicholas, a demigod vampire with a pair of ferocious scarlet wings behind him, looked at the qigong master in front of him, who was wearing a blazing black aura, with a very ugly expression.

He also sensed the changes on the other side of the blood pool.

But if you want to get help, you can't.

He originally thought that he already had the strength of a demigod, and was confident that no one in the entire federation could stop him.

But unexpectedly, a man who was number one in the world eighty years ago would appear.

Although he has a suppressive advantage in his position.

But in terms of realm, he obviously felt that Gong Wu was higher than him.

This guy's martial arts and qigong were so superb that it was unbelievable even to his eyes.

This is a "hidden card" that is completely outside of intelligence.

At this moment, he realized that in this game, the Light Chaser's layout was even better.

Moreover, the sudden situation on the other side of the blood pool also surprised Count Nicholas.

Was he found so quickly?

Also, the reformer failed to stop the other party for a moment?

At this point, he could also guess that that [Frederick I's Silver Armor] probably had some loopholes that he didn't know about.

But what he couldn't understand was.

Why is Lord Seiades' "divine thing" hidden in the blood pool on the altar?

Are there any humans who are not affected?

Before he had time to think about it, the reckless man in the distance, with a double-headed tiger with aura lingering on his fist, rushed over again alone.

"."

Count Nicholas' face twitched sharply.

His strength is truly unstoppable by any legendary card master in the federation.

Likewise, except for him, no other vampire can stop this one.

The battle situation became anxious again for a while.

On the other side, in the underground space of the ruins.

Ji Xun frantically absorbed the extraordinary properties in the blood pool.

In the huge space, the blood mist became visibly thinner.

On the side, Nan Jing blinked at this magical scene and said curiously: "Mr. Ji Xun, does your ability to avoid the pollution of faith come from the devil's mark? It's so special. Apart from the [God Thief] sequence, I don't know of any other Sequence can have this ability.”

"Ah."

Ji Xun responded casually, noting that he had nothing to hide from Miss Meathead: "My career sequence is a bit special."

Hearing this, Nan Jing did not want to explore what sequence it was. Instead, he was more interested in the origin of the mark. He smiled playfully and said: "I know! I got it from the 407 space adventure with Sister Chujiu, right? Before. Seeing that you two are avoiding talking about it, I have actually guessed it a long time ago."

Ji Xun smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

Speaking of this topic, Nan Jing suddenly asked: "By the way, did you meet Sister Chujiu later?"

Ji Xundao: "Yes."

Anyway, chatting did not affect his ability to absorb extraordinary characteristics. He elaborated: "Last time we met again in an extra-dimensional space. She also saved me again."

In "The Battle of Ironforge", thanks to Chujiu, I was able to get the Holy Grail to renew my life.

Listening to Ji Xun talking about a new adventure experience, Nan Jing's smart eyes were full of joy, and he said with envy and emotion: "Wow, I haven't seen Sister Chujiu for a long time. I miss her so much."

As she spoke, a look of expectation appeared on her slightly round face, and she added: "The three of us haven't met since that "Grand Cemetery Maze". When can we get together?"

A very simple wish.

But it's very difficult for her current situation.

This Miss Meathead was expelled from the Oran Royal Court, and her childhood playmates were also killed. Everything that was familiar before became very strange.

Her current situation is similar to that of Chujiu.

Become stronger silently while walking alone.

So she also cherishes her friends who are still alive around her.

In the world of this ball-headed lady, apart from Chujiu, the only one who could be considered a friend was Ji Xun.

Of course Ji Xun knew.

He knew about Nanjing and could understand the loneliness. He smiled and said, "Okay. Let's make an appointment to get together next time we meet."

Nan Jing nodded seriously: "Yes!"

While the two were chatting, a little accident happened.

Ji Xun's skin also changed due to absorbing a large amount of blood media.

From human skin color, it turned into a dark cyan color like a vampire.

However, there is the "anchor of the flesh" entry of the [God Thief's Ring], which ensures that the flesh will not be deformed into a vampire.

The data on the panel is also fully controllable.

For him, that's enough.

Ji Xun didn't care about the skin color and just swallowed it hard.

But Nan Jing, who was standing by, couldn't hide his worry and asked with concern: "Mr. Ji Xun, is your body contaminated?"

Ji Xun nodded: "Well, it was contaminated before. I can't explain why. But it's not a bad thing at the moment."

He said and raised the ring in his hand to signal her.

Nan Jing looked at the ring, still a little worried. After thinking about it for a while, he muttered with a sad face: "It's a pity that I don't understand this very well, otherwise I can help you think of a solution."

Ji Xun smiled and said: "It's okay. I know Master Merlin, he should have a way."

"Oh."

Nan Jing pursed his lips as he listened.

It seems that I feel guilty for not helping my friend.

After thinking seriously for a moment, she added: "When I get out, I will check the information and maybe I can find a solution."

It can be seen that this little girl is really worried about him.

Ji Xun also smiled and did not refuse the kindness: "Okay."

At this time, the two people's eyes were attracted by the countless blood-colored threads gathering in the blood pool. Little bats.

The essence of prosperity is [The Ring of the God Thief].

This cataclysmic relic is much stronger than the human body can tolerate.

Ji Xun's absorption speed is far less fast than this bat.

I thought before that he couldn't drain this pool of corrupted blood media by himself, so it would be nice to have the Nazgul to help him.

But at this moment, after this little guy became stronger, the movement was getting louder and louder.

Ji Xun frowned slightly as he watched.

I vaguely feel that there seems to be some hidden danger in this rapid growth.

Nan Jing was even more keen and asked: "Mr. Ji Xun, is this a weapon spirit?"

She is a psychic and has a particularly keen sense of spirits.

I've recognized it before.

But he didn't expect this bat to grow so quickly.

"Ah."

Ji Xun nodded.

He himself had some difficulties, but the psychic Nan Jing happened to be here, so he simply told the origin of the ring: "It is the spirit of this ring. It seems that it is also contaminated."

After listening, Nan Jing frowned slightly and explained: "Although Mr. Ji Xun will not be contaminated by faith, there are hidden dangers in a too powerful 'spirit'. The basis of all contracts is equality of strength. If the gap If it is too big, even the 'master-servant contract' will cause problems. Moreover, this ring spirit only absorbs the same kind of divine pollutant. After growing to a certain level, it is likely to awaken the directional consciousness of the old god. It will be very troublesome to restrain them then.”

"Yes."

Ji Xun also has this level of worry.

A contract is like a dog leash.

When the dog is much larger than the owner, the binding force of this contract seems a bit pale.

The ancestor of the Bai family was a god thief, and it was also difficult to be contaminated, but he was still attacked and was not careless.

If it were someone else, they might not really know how to solve this problem.

But it was a coincidence.

Opposite Ji Xun was a psychic lady from [Yu Shen Ting] who knew the fifty-two forbidden arts of demon gods.

Nan Jing is no longer the naive and ignorant little girl she once was. She sees the hidden dangers in the future.

This is still an issue that cannot be ignored.

Tilting her head and thinking for a while, she looked at Ji Xun and made a suggestion: "Mr. Ji Xun, how about I help you contract it to me? It's like the fate entanglement before."

As she said that, she explained: "What I mean is that I have [Yu Shen Ting]. This demonic forbidden technique is the best binding contract for all 'spiritual beings'. No matter what it grows into, it will really The backlash must be at least much stronger than the two of us."

"Okay!"

Ji Xun agreed.

He was worried that he could not solve this hidden danger.

Nan Jing's proposal was more reliable than any plan he had thought of.

It even solved the problem perfectly.

But Ji Xun didn't care about himself and asked, "But...does this have any impact on you?"

"It doesn't affect me at all."

Nan Jing shrugged and said: "On the contrary, it may have an impact on you. After all, you should know that my identity is a bit troublesome."

Ji Xun smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Of course he knew there was trouble.

Last time at the ruins of Xia Mu City, it was because of his entanglement with Nan Jing's fate that he was hunted down by people from Bureau X and almost died.

It now seems that the people from Bureau X sent people to hunt him down at that time, probably because Count Nicholas had used some means to realize that the high priest's lineage would pose a fatal threat to the Scarlet Sect.

That’s why we chose to make arrangements in advance to eliminate this hidden danger.

It was only because of Nan Jing's mother's secret intervention that the plan failed.

He thought about the previous experience in his mind for a moment, but he didn't want to talk about it, because he was afraid that the ball-headed lady would be more worried.

Nan Jing thought he didn't know the stakes, so he explained: "This Shenxu treasure house was installed by my ancestors of the Nan family. When you were injured the previous time, the 'scroll of divine communication' I got by chance was also left by my ancestors."

As she spoke, she shot with one hand, and a six-pointed star formation appeared in the void, and a large scroll as tall as her appeared in her hand: "Here, this is it."

This girl still seemed to have no defense at all, and directly took out the treasure inherited from her high priest line to show to Ji Xun.

"."

Ji Xun couldn't laugh or cry at this inexplicable trust.

It seems like it was like this a long time ago.

This psychic lady has never been wary of her recognized friends.

As he said this, Nan Jing glanced over from the corner of his eye and said: "So if it involves my destiny, there may be a lot of trouble. For example, the royal court, or some believers of the old gods may come to visit me."

Ji Xun shook his head and said calmly: "It's okay."

Hearing this, Nan Jing blinked his long eyelashes and confirmed again: "Then I really have a contract?"

Ji Xun confirmed her gaze: "Yes."

Nan Jing smiled sweetly and felt happy for some reason: "Okay~"

Trust is always mutual.

Being able to contract a spirit body together is a relationship that only a trusted friend would agree to for a psychic.

Ji Xun agreed, and Nan Jing didn't hesitate.

She directly tore open the scroll and pulled out a large section.

Ji Xun also saw that on the scroll, there were densely written some ultra-level contents that his brain could not remember.

The ball-headed lady chose a blank place, dipped it in her own blood, and then took a little of Ji Xun's blood, and quickly drew a contract spell.

Following a burst of spiritual light, a bat pattern appeared on the scroll.

The contract is completed.

That kind of double-binding connection has been established.

Wangcai's spiritual intelligence hadn't been activated much yet, and he didn't feel bad about it. He just continued to absorb the blood medium.

A hidden danger has been eliminated. "Mr. Ji Xun, you have changed so much. Oh, you must have encountered a lot of things. Do you have any interesting information?"

"Ah, you don't know, during the period after we separated, I was bored. I was often alone in the dark wilderness, lighting a lamp and learning all kinds of extraordinary knowledge. The ancestors left so many classics, I feel like my brain It’s almost too full to hold. But I have to learn. I often have to go to some ruins to find things and inheritance. There is no living person around, only spiritual creatures and ghosts.”

"."

When friends meet again, they both have a lot to talk about.

More importantly, the ball-headed lady was chattering about her experiences during this period.

Ji Xun was quite amused, and he smiled and occasionally responded.

The atmosphere is quite laid back.

No vampire has come back yet, which means that the card masters outside have held the vampire back.

However, in addition to those vampires who are enemies, there is also a group of forces in this secret realm that belong to another camp.

About half an hour later, most of the blood energy in the underground passage had decayed.

At this time, the armored giant next to the altar suddenly lit up with red light in his eyes.

Ji Xun frowned when he saw this strange situation.

This iron lump suddenly made preparations for battle, and must have discovered something.

Nan Jing's expression on the side was not very good either, and he said directly: "It's the people from the royal court who are here."

Ji Xun's eyes also became serious, "What are those guys doing here?"

Having seen the strength of the "King's Four Knights" before, he didn't think it was a good thing for these guys to come now.

Nan Jing analyzed: "Maybe it's for the divine substances in the altar. After all, these things are also of great use to the Silver Moon Sect."

As she said this, she thought of something and said a little apologetically: "Maybe it's for me."

When the two of them were communicating, the iron lump had already walked out.

This armored giant is indeed very strong, but it may not be able to stop those Oran remnants.

Nan Jing said directly: "Mr. Ji Xun, you don't have to worry about it. I'll go out and take a look."

Ji Xun: "Yeah. Be careful."

Nan Jing smiled cheerfully, "Don't worry. I'm a psychic. Although I can't defeat them, I don't have to fight them head-on."

With that said, the person disappeared on the spot.

In the empty altar, Ji Xun was the only one left in the blink of an eye.

Soon, the sound of fierce fighting came from the corridor.

However, unknown to the vampires, the structure of the altar is also very stable and has not been greatly affected for the time being.

Ji Xun is very clear about his current task.

Everyone outside is creating opportunities for him, and the longer it takes, the worse it will be.

There are no other distracting thoughts, just absorb them with concentration.

At this moment, all the attribute values ​​​​on his panel almost exceeded the 120 mark.

This has reached the level of almost a fourth-level melee card master.

Ji Xun also clearly felt the familiar level bottleneck at this moment.

In other words, his body is about to reach its limit.

And on the stone pillar, divinity was quickly absorbed into the clown mask.

This cataclysmic-level exclusive relic has also undergone new changes at this moment. The three main terms of "comprehension", "cognition" and "mystery" have increased significantly.

"My understanding has increased a little more."

Ji Xun looked happy in his heart.

Now he has mastered more and more secret techniques.

Comprehension is extremely important.

Even a slight improvement would qualitatively improve his understanding of those profound and extraordinary knowledge.

The fighting was fierce outside, and Ji Xun continued to absorb it.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly a tentacle sprang out from the blood pool like a water snake.

"Whoosh" it pierced his chest.

Then it spread rapidly throughout the body as if it had taken root.

At the same time, enlightenment also appeared: "You are exempted from a high-level belief pollution directed at the scarlet corrupt Seiadis."

"Ok?"

Ji Xun quickly grabbed the twisting tentacle.

This scene seemed familiar a hundred years ago.

He was attacked by tentacles from a pool of blood.

But this time, the tentacle was obviously not meant to kill him, but to contaminate him.

Ji Xun looked at the scarlet thing that was still twisting in his hand. He took a closer look and saw that there was no tentacle there, but a living blood vessel!

[Scarlet corrupt active blood vessels]

Detailed explanation: Divine substance, this is the flesh and blood tissue condensed by the scarlet corrupted Seaadis divine power; flesh and blood is a rare material, with very strong belief pollution and the power of super-order laws;

"What is this?"

Ji Xun's eyes twitched as he looked at the blood vessels twisting around in his hand like a living snake.

It's like a living thing, but it's an independent blood vessel.

Just looking at it with the naked eye feels like a double image, making you feel dizzy and unable to look directly.

Moreover, the continuous "high level pollution" of Enlightenment is particularly eye-catching.

In other words, one can be exempted from belief pollution.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I have already been tricked.

Just as he was thinking about it, a reverse channeling array lit up in the void.

Nanjing noticed the change and appeared beside him immediately.

She looked at the blood vessels, then at Ji Xun, whose chest was pierced, and asked urgently with concern: "Are you okay?"

Ji Xun shook his head: "It's okay. Skin injury."

The contamination was ignored, it was really just a scratch to him.

At the same time he asked: "What on earth is this?"

Nan Jing checked that nothing was wrong, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and explained: "Divine substance. In layman's terms, it is the part of the body that the believers of the old god used to shape the old god with various blood media. Now it is just a A blood vessel, theoretically speaking, as long as the body is completely formed, the old god can be resurrected."

As she said that, a look of solemnity appeared in her crystal eyes, and she said: "This is an extremely dangerous pollutant. I didn't expect the people of the Scarlet Sect to have done it to this extent. That is because you are Mr. Ji Xun and you can be exempted from the pollution. Otherwise. Under the demigod, almost anyone who touches it will be contaminated. Including me! Fortunately, it is you, otherwise we would be in trouble."

"."

Ji Xun also realized that this blood vessel problem was very difficult.

He ripped the vein out of his chest.

Apart from the initial sneak attack, this twisting blood vessel has no offensive capabilities.

It struggled in Ji Xun's hand and stuck to his skin, corroding and sizzling.

Ji Xun felt like he was holding a bomb with the safety open. It would be wrong to throw it, and it would be wrong to hold it in his hand.

He asked: "Is this blood vessel a living thing?"

"No."

Nan Jing shook his head and said: "You can think of it as... um... something like the beating nerves of certain monsters after death. But it is not a living thing itself, nor a dead thing. It does not have Conscious spirituality. Aggressive behavior is just a reflex."

Ji Xun's brows deepened and deepened: "So, how to deal with it?"

Nan Jing said: "Currently there is no way to safely handle this kind of divine substance. Whether it is destroyed or sealed, it is a huge hidden danger. If it were me, I might throw it into the underworld."

As she said that, she looked at Ji Xun, thought of something, pondered for a moment and then said: "But excluding the pollution itself, this is a divine substance after all, and it can also be considered a treasure. It can become a part of the divine body, and it can naturally become a human being. Part of it. Someone did this in ancient times. As far as I know, the card masters of the [God Thief] lineage are good at this kind of dangerous thing. However, that requires some secret methods. It should have been lost now."

Obviously, this blood vessel caused her difficulty.

When Ji Xun heard this, he suddenly thought, had Qin Ru just obtained the inheritance from the ancestors of the Bai family before, maybe he could handle it?

Looking at this blood vessel, it doesn't seem to be a threat to me.

He asked: "Can you save it first? I know a person who might be able to handle it."

Nan Jing was also curious about who he was talking about, but he didn't ask any more questions and said, "I can seal it temporarily. But currently, none of the containment cards in my hand can withstand this level of material."

As Ji Xun listened, he felt that the blood vessel seemed to be difficult to deal with.

Nan Jing suddenly thought of something and suggested, "How about I seal it in your body first?"

Ji Xun was startled by this outrageous suggestion and asked instinctively: "Okay?"

Nan Jing said: "Of course. You will not be polluted. Theoretically speaking, this divine substance is sealed in the body and is beneficial and harmless. It can also give you some extraordinary characteristics."

Ji Xun has really learned a lot, "Can it still be like this?"

"Yes."

Nan Jing nodded and explained: "Many card master sequences have similar abilities. For example, [Diamond 6 - Outlaw Madman]'s magical mysterious method "Heavenly King's Curse Body" is to seal various evil spirits in the body and strengthen it. His own fighting power and the lineage of psychics also have similar secret techniques, which can seal spirits and even monsters in their own bodies. And my "Royal God Court" is good at this kind of seal, so it should be no problem. "

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he immediately thought of Xie Guozhong.

It turns out that the evil spirit tattoos all over his body are like this.

Since it was feasible, he said directly: "Then I'll trouble you."

Regardless of whether it's useful or not, seal it first.

If it doesn’t work, just throw it away later.

Nan Jing nodded: "Yes."

Those vampires never expected that hiding in the blood pool, they were bound to sneak attack on the "divine blood vessels" of a top card master, but they met a person who was completely unafraid of contamination.

By coincidence, Ji Xun was able to resolve this fatal danger inexplicably.

Nan Jing took action, and the lively "blood vessels" were quickly sealed into his body.

There are no negative effects.

There are just some red lines on the arms.

Slightly burning, the overflowing extraordinary characteristics continued to pollute his body.

But this is a good thing for Ji Xun.

As soon as the blood vessels were sealed, the originally highly polluted blood pool was like a tree with its roots cut off, with 90% of its blood energy drained away.

It looked like the formation could be destroyed at any time.

It was originally expected to take more than an hour to absorb, and we had to be prepared for various unknown risks.

Unexpectedly, it has only been half an hour and we are done.

This progress has exceeded expectations.

People fighting vampires outside will also be greatly relieved.

And Nanjing doesn't need to continue to guard Ji Xun.

The situation suddenly became clear.

"How's the situation outside?"

"I channeled the 'Moon Knight Legion' here. They know they can't kill me, so they should give up."

"."

Ji Xun also guessed the plans of those in the Oran Royal Court.

He hadn't shown up before, most likely because he wanted to wait for Gong Wu and the others to fight the vampires until both sides were harmed, and then come out to clean up the mess.

It's a good plan.

But now, because of Ji Xun's mistake, the fierce battle that was supposed to last for a long time ended prematurely.

Didn't have to wait long.

"Crack" the sound of gravel sounded.

There was not enough blood to maintain the altar, and suddenly a gap opened.

Without the support of the formation, the blood mist that filled the city outside quickly dissipated under the sunlight.

A large number of vampires were exposed to the sun and burned spontaneously.

The vampires who were lucky enough to be still alive and running around were chased by Gong Wu and a group of card masters and fled underground in a panic.

But the altar was destroyed, and these believers of the old gods had lost any chance of making a comeback.

When the secret realm is closed, all believers of the old gods will be wiped out and become part of the monsters in the secret realm.

Nanjing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Her mission is to destroy this scarlet altar.

Because of Ji Xun, the process was much easier than expected, and she also avoided a fatal crisis.

However, the moment the altar was broken, Ji Xungang breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly thought of something: "No! Where is the jar?"
