Cataclysm King

Chapter 55

After running for not long, Ji Xun found that the underground palace seemed to be a "back-shaped" underground palace structure.

The area is huge.

But also limited.

The three of Ji Xun did not try to run through the entire underground palace.

You don't need to walk around to guess that there are still some [Keepers] wandering in some corners of the underground palace.

The three of them followed the traces of the battle on the ground, and after passing through a corridor, they came to a secret room full of broken bones.

From a spatial point of view, this is the most central location of the underground palace.

Looking at the various patterns and mysterious symbols carved on the wall, Ji Xun immediately realized that this is the final exit recorded in the adventurer's notes.

Ji Xun looked at the broken bones all over the floor, and muttered: "The skeleton monsters have been cleaned up, which saves trouble."

According to the adventurer's diary, there should have been many elite skeleton monsters near this secret room.

It is also very difficult for low-level spell card masters.

But now it's all broken bones.

[Great Cemetery Labyrinth] The level of catastrophe in this different-dimensional space itself is not high, and the strongest skeleton monster is at most at the level of a second-level disaster.

A third-tier elite frost knight would naturally kill indiscriminately.

That guy has been here for two or three days just now, and he can't suppress the three values. Once the monster hatred is pulled, it can only be cleaned up.

This is convenient for the three of Ji Xun.

The only pity is that high-level spell card masters come to brush low-level dungeons, and almost no materials and cards will be produced.

Even if he could really go out, the settlement evaluation would be very low.

It's a pity that there are silver skeleton leaders everywhere.

In the corner, you can also see the collapse marks of someone sitting on a broken bone. I think this secret room is also the hiding place of the Frost Knight these days.

Chu Jiu also didn't sense the [Secret Keeper] near the secret room, presumably that guy pulled the monsters away.

Don't think about it, there is no safer place in the underground palace than here.

After looking around, he said, "Let's just wait here."

It is impossible to hide.

It's better for them to choose a place to relax and wait for work.

Chu Jiu nodded, "Yes."

Go back to the zigzag maze, and run further, you will either encounter a monster or hit the frost knight.

There's no need to keep running away, just wait here.

Chu Jiu's injury hadn't fully healed yet, so he found a place to meditate cross-legged after he came in, and was planning a big move.

And Nan Jing knew that he couldn't help, so he searched for something in the pile of skeletons, hoping to find some materials for making psychic skeletons, in case of emergency.

Ji Xun entered this dark secret room, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the stone carvings on the wall.

He shone on the lamp and carefully observed the contents of the carvings bit by bit.

The engravings in this secret room are the largest and most complex in the entire labyrinth, and the amount of information is also the largest.

To others, these engraved patterns of mysterious symbols have become intermittent and decipherable characters in his eyes.

Although it cannot be fully translated, the combination of pictures and texts can also half-guess and understand the general meaning.

Judging from the murals and stone carvings I saw outside, it should be a huge mausoleum built for himself by a certain king of the Gutalun Dynasty.

And this labyrinth is only the entrance level of the mausoleum.

There is not much information about the tomb on the murals.

But Ji Xun looked at it, looked up at the most core position above his head, and saw the mysterious symbol "" again.

It's obviously just a simple moon symbol, but it seems like magic, which makes people see that it faintly touches a certain instinct that goes straight to the deep sleep of the soul, and awakens the terrifying memory in the blood inheritance.

It was a feeling that cannot be described in words.

It was like seeing an indescribable god.

I also felt the same way when I was in the cellar on Tailor Street.

In order to prevent himself from being polluted by some mysterious power, Ji Xun immediately put on a clown mask.

But this is just a different-dimensional space after all, and some things are not as real as the real thing.

After observing it, I didn't find any hint of "Old Miracle".

Looking at the distribution of the four stone pillars around it is also very subtle, as if it coincides with some kind of formation.

And the engraved content on it is that some people wearing robes like priests are performing a mysterious ceremony.Although the direction of worship of the priests is different, they are all facing the moon symbol on the central ceiling.

Ji Xun looked at the patterns of the corpses that were hung for sacrifice, and he was familiar with them at a glance, and thought, "Isn't this the ritual of skinning and offering sacrifices in the cellar on Tailor Street?"

The moment he saw these stone carvings, he had a faint flash of inspiration.

However, what does the purpose of this sacrificial ceremony mean?
Is this trying to communicate with an ancient god?
Or pray for strength?

He didn't find the exact answer in the carving.

Moreover, although the card master borrowed the power of demons, he did not have any belief in gods.Therefore, in Ji Xun's impression, the ancient gods' retinues and old sects are similar to the rats in the sewer in the eyes of hunters, they are all crazy and extreme aliens.

Ji Xun didn't pay much attention to those sacrificial ceremonies, his first task now is to find a way out.

But there are too many carvings in this secret room, and I can't read them all in a while.

Before he could finish reading, there was the sound of armor rubbing against each other in the empty corridor.

Chu Jiu, who was in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, and said softly, "Here we come."

Ji Xun was not surprised.

Here comes the Frost Knight.

Even if weak and injured, a third-tier spell card master still feels oppressive.

The three of them watched the Frost Knight in white armor walk into the secret room, step by step, the iron armor clanging.

That aggressive aura came, like a mountain falling.

Ji Xun felt like his breathing was stagnant, but there was a cold glow in his eyes.

Obviously, the intention was not good.

Like a sick tiger seeing three rabbits, the eyes in the T-shaped gap of the iron helmet are still sharp, and the contempt in his eyes is not concealed at all.

The concept of class in this world is very strong, nobles and commoners are people from two worlds, not to mention the exiled sinners in the city of innocence.

In the eyes of the Frost Knight, the people in the city are like monsters in the sewer, as if they will pollute the air if they are in the same room.

This is contempt for strength and status.

It is also the arrogance engraved in the bones of the noble class for thousands of years.

I took a look at the three of them, a small character wearing a corpse collector, and two card masters wearing adventurer costumes, they were not worth mentioning.

Frost Knight didn't mean to talk nonsense at all, and asked in a condescending tone: "How did you come here?"

He didn't even care who those three were.

The potential threat and murderous intent in that tone was not concealed at all.

Ji Xun naturally understood this threat, and pretended to be trembling: "I, we found an adventurer's diary, and it happened that we also knew a little bit about solving puzzles. We found it here."

Frost Knight listened, and immediately felt that the notes might be the key to getting out!
He couldn't wait, and said in an orderly tone: "Give me the notes!"

Ji Xun also sensibly handed over the notes in the backpack at his waist.

The Frost Knight got the notes, and the heavy armored gloves could hold a sword, but they couldn't turn the thin paper.

He stood the sword beside the stone pillar, untied the armor glove, still held the mysterious box in one hand, and opened the notes with one hand.

Seeing this, it suddenly dawned on my heart.

With so many people coming in, there are always a few lucky ones who survived.

Just like himself.

And the three people in front of me who found this note.

But after looking at it, Frost Knight also found that there seems to be no way to record it based on the contents of the notes alone.

He frowned, turned around and asked, "Can you solve riddles?"

Ji Xun responded timidly: "Yes. We found out that the maze passage was moving before, and then we ran in according to the prompts in the notes."

Ji Xun said this because he wanted to give this guy a psychological hint: We are all your hope to get out.

After a while, the opponent would definitely not dare to kill in the first instance.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, this guy would never kill his only hope of survival.

Only those who have experienced despair, seeing a glimmer of hope, will hold firmly in their hands even if it is a straw.

Frost Knight couldn't bear the urgency to leave the maze in his heart, so he asked without any nonsense, "Have you found any way to get out?"

Ji Xun said bluntly: "I found a clue."

This is also true.

The third-tier spell card master's perception is extremely sharp. If it is completely false, no matter how good the acting skills are, it is impossible to deceive it.

When Frost Knight heard this, his heart was filled with anticipation, and he immediately asked, "How do I get out?"

Ji Xun pointed directly at the carving on the ceiling and said, "This is a sacrificial ceremony pointing to the old gods. The clue given by the space is that 30 craftsmen were killed in the pit. I guess the death of the craftsman may also be It is related to the sacrifice of the old god. So I guess those craftsmen may leave some clues in these stone carving symbols."

This is not true at all.

It was originally Ji Xun's most likely idea to break the situation.

"Sacrifice?"

When Frost Knight heard this, he immediately felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear.

He instinctively wanted to look up at the symbols on the ceiling.

However, although the T-shaped design of the helmet is excellent in protection, the field of vision is also greatly limited.

It is very difficult to look up to see what is above your head.

Instinctively, he wanted to remove the helmet for better vision.

But just for a moment when his hand was on the helmet, he stopped for a moment.

It has to be said that the intuition of the third-tier spell card master is still very keen.

As if he realized something, he narrowed his eyes and warned coldly: "Boy, you'd better not play tricks."

Ji Xun's expression was full of panic when he heard this, and his acting skills were flawless.

His position also cleverly blocked the guy's view of Chu Jiu and Nan Jing. He was a professional actor, but these two were not.

Don't look at this frost knight as arrogant, but he is actually very cautious.

The coercion released before was actually to test the strength of the three of them again, and even if he found that the strength of the three of them was not worth mentioning, he was not careless, and kept a safe distance from the beginning to the end.

Although Frost Knight had a vague intuition that something was wrong.

But the urgency to survive now overwhelmed everything.

He still pulled the mechanism inside the armor, and with a click, the helmet opened, revealing a pale, tired and stern face.

In his eyes, these three people could be killed with a backhand.

He never expected that there really was a Tier [-] card master who was so stupid that he dared to pay his attention.

Without the restriction of the helmet, Frost Knight raised his head, wanting to see the mysterious symbols that he hadn't seen the way before.

But I don't know, this is what Ji Xun deliberately led him to do!

Almost at the moment when Frost Knight took off his helmet and looked up, Ji Xun pulled back suddenly.

At the same time, Chu Jiu also started!
But how keen is the combat intuition of a third-tier spell card master?
Frost Knight immediately noticed the violent retreat intention of the little carder next to him, and sneered in his heart: Overthinking one's abilities!

Thinking that this guy was the key to getting out, he didn't make a ruthless hand, he raised his hand and wanted to catch him, thinking in his heart that he would break a leg and teach him a lesson
However, just as he was about to make a move, he found that his body was sluggish for a moment, and his heart was instantly alert: "Huh, mind attack?"

But that thought power was not enough to stop his actions, but it really restricted it for a moment.

Is this something a first-tier card master can do?
Frost Knight realized that something was wrong and turned his head violently.

He ignored Ji Xun who was running away, but looked at Chu Jiu who had already attacked.

I don't know why, looking at this first-level spell card master, the contempt in the Frost Knight's heart was swept away, and his scalp tingled instinctively.

But his fighting instinct also made him react immediately. He stretched out a pair of big hands, and suddenly a light blue ice spell burst out of his body, and his whole body immediately became chilly.

Even if the battle mana was almost exhausted in the past few days, it was still more than enough to kill a first-tier card master.

The Frost Knight thought he could subdue this overconfident guy in an instant, but he didn't want to change his complexion suddenly in the next instant!
Chu Jiu has been preparing secretly for a long time, and if there is another sneak attack, how could he miss it?

Frost Knight advances through the path of order [Six of Spades - Punishment Iron Guard], which focuses on controlling counterattacks.Coupled with the ice-type silver-quality breathing method [Frost Qi] secreted by the Cao family, it can control and fight.

This is also the best match that has been honed by countless senior Frost Knights for thousands of years.

Fighting against people normally, the enemy is stuck by the frost spell and cannot escape.

The legion's large-scale control of the field is even more of a nightmare for the enemy.

However, what he never expected was that his high-level ice spell power would not stick to a first-level card master?
Before he could figure out why.

Almost at the very moment when he exploded, he watched the mysterious girl in the linen cloak change suddenly, and her beautiful hair turned into silver hair in an instant.The hand knife lingering with an invisible stance has already appeared in front of his face, and the shining silver card ejected from the air also burst into a psychedelic brilliance at the same time.

Frost Knight's widened eyes finally revealed a hint of horror.

I have rank suppression. In theory, any spell card master below the third rank will be greatly restricted.

But the opponent's chill turned out to be suppressed at the level of law?

He immediately realized that there was something wrong with the girl in front of him!
When he saw clearly that the pattern on the card was a distorted human face, he was even more frightened: the second-order mysterious card [Arcane · Will Collapse]!
This kind of Tier [-] arcane card, even Tier [-] mysterious spell card masters may not be able to use it freely.

She, a Tier [-] spell card master, was activated instantly?

As the knight captain of Governor Cao's family, he knows many high-end secrets.

Seeing the current situation, he suddenly thought of a possibility: "You are the one!"

Being able to suppress his own third-level ice spell power with first-level spell power at the level of law, the only possibility that the Frost Knight could think of was that the quality of this girl's fusion demon mark was much higher than her own.

He is a fused silver imprint, that is to say, the other party's fused demon imprint is at least legendary quality!
And almost every legendary card has a great origin.

Ice type, but also mind attack.
In the city of innocence, there is only the S-rank wanted criminal!

Frost Knight was also shocked. He never expected that a person he met in the maze would have a lot of background.

However, Chu Jiu didn't give him any chance, since the sneak attack, taking action is the ultimate move!
The cold air released by the Frost Knight was as light blue as the sky, while the cold air condensed on her body was as dark blue as the sea!

At the same time as the cards collapsed, the power of the demon phantom behind Chu Jiu also boiled, and he punched out at the same time.

At this moment, the mind is already confused.

Frost Knight's entire sensory world seemed to be distorted, and his eyes seemed to see countless figures.

There was a muffled sound of "boom",
If you can't avoid it, you can only take it hard.

Just as the knife approached, there was an invisible stance more terrifying than the cold, piercing into his mind like a needle prick.

This is a mind attack!

Frost Knight's physical condition was exhausted, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse after several days of fighting.

This time, it was as if the soul was frozen, and then it was hammered hard, and it shattered into pieces all over the ground.

Frost Knight was hit so hard, his eyes turned white instantly, and his tall body staggered back a few steps.

But not dead yet!

The ninth day did not stop.

Without giving the enemy any chance to resist, her fists seemed to be surrounded by a layer of frost flames, and she punched heavily towards the face of the Frost Knight.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom".
In the huge secret room, there was a muffled ringing like a bell.

Not far away, Ji Xun looked at such a vigorous Chu Jiu, his eyes were bright: "It's much stronger than last time."

Seeing the aggressive aura of his old friend, he was also filled with emotion.

It's not that Ji Xun has never met an official spell card master.

But the one who is so outrageously strong is the one in front of him.

And Chu Jiu's outrageous combat power is directly related to the phantom of the demon god behind her.

When he was in 407 before, Ji Xun didn't know what happened to the phantom behind the silver-haired Chu Jiu.

Now he vaguely guessed it.

Although I don't know which one of the 52 demon gods the demon mark fused in Chujiu is pointing to, the quality must be very high.

At least a legendary quality card, or an epic source card like [JOKER].

Ji Xun is more inclined to the latter.

After all, she can't be greedy for one thing at all, except for character, that is something of equal value to herself.

The identity of this old friend is not simple.

Because the sneak attack took the lead, Chu Jiu hit the Frost Knight with one move.

Although the battle was fierce, the Frost Knight's spirit was already disturbed, and he was in a daze throughout the whole process, and his counterattack was more based on instinct.

He also paid the price for underestimating the enemy.

The triple damage from physical, demonic, and spiritual powers made him retreat steadily.

It looks intense, but the actual ending has already been decided.

Even watching a battle of this level is life-threatening. The terrifying ice spell is useless to Chu Jiu, but it is a fatal threat to Ji Xun and Nan Jing.

The moment the two fought against each other, the huge secret room instantly turned into an ice cave.

Biting cold.

Fortunately, the walls in the underground palace are regular objects. Ji Xun and Nan Jing hid behind the walls, blocked by zombies, but they were not affected much.

at last.

There was a muffled sound of "dong", and the tall Frost Knight was dead on the spot.

Seeing that the battle was over, Nan Jing quickly ran over to hold Chu Jiu who was vomiting blood.

Ji Xun also spoke with concern: "How are you doing?"

Chu Jiumian responded calmly: "It's not a big problem."

Ji Xun didn't say much, with Nan Jing helping to heal his wounds, he couldn't help much.

He thought, and walked over to the corpse.

Looking at the thick overflowing extraordinary characteristics, he couldn't help but look forward to it: This is the corpse of a third-rank spell card master!
Without looking further, Ji Xun's eyes were attracted by the suitcase that the Frost Knight didn't put down until his death.

There is something in this box that is immune to [Keeper's] curse attack.

With this thing, it is only a matter of time before the maze is solved.

Ji Xun was curious as to what was inside.

　Thanks to old friends for their alliance of friendship, and to 'Happy Bad Guy' for their support.
