Cataclysm King

Chapter 223 Was the angel killed by Nanjing? (Please subscribe)

This is the sixth floor of the mine.

Said to be a mine, it looks more like some irregular cracks naturally formed in the rock, and a few artificially dug holes.

Observing the surroundings carefully, some spiritual crystals emitting white light can be seen sporadically on the rock wall, and the quality is not low.

The crystal nuclei here are enough to exchange for enough food. If the "miners" above see them, they may be robbed.

Even when Ji Xun entered here, he felt like he had entered a treasure house full of gold coins.

But it's not all a good thing.

The denser the crystal nuclei are, the more serious the mental pollution is.

At this moment, the entire space on the sixth floor was filled with circles of fluorescent ripples visible to the naked eye.

These deadly "fluorescences" like nuclear radiation are always eroding the souls of all living creatures on this level.

Ji Xun didn't dare waste time digging for crystal nuclei.

Although he can now absorb negative mental power to improve his understanding of the law, there is a limit to what he can endure due to his limited rank.

He is only at level three.

The mental pollution on the sixth floor of this mine is already a hundred times stronger than on the first floor.

Even though Ji Xun had the clown mask and the blessing of JOKER, he felt like he was being roasted on a fire. He always had the urge to go crazy and kill someone.

He knew very well that once that thought got out of control, he would immediately go crazy and never wake up.

“Can’t stay long”

After walking for a while, Ji Xun felt slightly in a trance.

Fortunately, he brought enough potions, and he immediately poured himself a bottle of [Advanced Sobriety Potion].

Then he continued to walk cautiously in the mine tunnel.

Before, he felt that there were fragments in those mental powers that were of great benefit to martial arts and laws, and he carefully understood them along the way.

But now I don’t dare.

The negative mental power here is so violent that it can directly wash away the pollution from his consciousness.

Enlightenment is a clear reminder of the negative state.

"Eroded by 'unknown evil thoughts', mental confusion +1"

"Contaminated by the remaining soul of the 'Black Cross Fighting Spirit', mental confusion +1"

"."

Moreover, Ji Xun, who had transformed into a werewolf, had clearly sensed the crisis.

As the intelligence said, there are some unknown dangers in this layer.

"Gah ga ga, I've realized it! I've realized the supreme sword intention."

"Jie, Jie, Jie, I'm wrong. What's wrong?"

"Ah, don't kill me. Hahaha, don't be afraid, how could I kill you?"

"."

From time to time, various demon-like roars came from his ears.

Ji Xun himself could hardly tell whether it was the sound heard by his ears or the hallucination caused by mental pollution.

He tried to avoid those mine tunnels where "abnormal lunatics" might be present.

According to the information previously obtained from the three people, these madmen who have been waiting on the fifth and sixth floors no longer want to mine in exchange for food. They have gone crazy and want to understand some super-level secrets from those ancient spiritual pollutions. .Mining is just a remaining instinct.

"What exactly is under this ruins? And is that 'senior' really under here?"

Ji Xun even doubted his own judgment.

The further underground he went, the more serious the pollution became.

It is said that below the sixth floor of the mine where the pollution originated, there is a seventh floor that no one has ever visited.

But this is just a legend among the miners.

Because no human miner has ever been to the seventh floor.

That place is just gibberish heard from the mouths of "crazy people".

Ji Xun is not sure that he will be able to get there safely in his current state.

There were more and more crystal nuclei on the surrounding rock walls, and when he encountered ones that were convenient for harvesting, he would dig out a few.

These are scarce and expensive spiritual materials.

Because he was careful enough, Ji Xun didn't encounter any crazy people.

But as he walked, he glanced at the rock wall from the corner of his eye, and suddenly he said softly in his heart: "Huh?"

Stopping and taking a look, there were some little figures carved crookedly on the rock wall.

The carving is very rough, and it looks like a child using a sharp instrument to scribble on the stone wall crookedly and randomly.

However, at the first glance, Ji Xun's eyes were attracted.

He is now in a state of demonic solution and his understanding is astonishing.

As soon as I saw the different patterns on it, it was like a slide show in my mind, and the little people started to move.

"Martial arts?"

Ji Xun was also surprised when he saw it.

And it’s no ordinary martial arts!

Even from his current perspective, it is a rare secret that is difficult to understand.

Many ancient martial arts techniques are even unheard of.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Qi Di suddenly appeared.

"You looked at the stone carvings of spears and understood a little bit of the 'Hunting God's Great Spear Skill (Fake)'."

"You looked at the stone sword manual and understood a little bit of the 'Secret Truth: Demon-Slaying Sword Technique Nineteen (Bad)'."

"You looked at the stone-carved boxing manual and understood a bit of the 'unique skill: Tongming Shenquan (imitation)'."

"You watch"

Ji Xun looked at it and was immersed in it without realizing it.

The patterns of these little figures are not just movements, but also contain a certain "meaning" conveyed by the carvers.

That kind of artistic conception is like a good drinker tasting fine wine. After one sip, the heat will go straight to the sky, but it is not uncomfortable, but has a mellow fragrance and endless aftertaste.

The more I taste it, the more I feel it has all kinds of flavors.

For card masters in the fighter sequence, this is simply a "treasury of martial arts" and has a fatal temptation.

One look at it makes people want to move on to the next one.

But as I looked at it, something didn't feel right.

There is a strong personal will in those martial arts, twisted and deformed
Looking at those patterns, it's as if someone is trying to force those insights into your mind.

This made Ji Xun feel as if his eyes were welded to the rock wall even though he saw the reminder of mental pollution.

Even he himself didn't realize that he had fallen into a very strange state.

There seems to be a strange obsession in my heart.

Either learn or reverse those wills that are inconsistent with your own ideas.

Even when this abnormal state occurs, the negative mental forces around him also come in like a tide, as if there is a gap and quietly seep in.

Ji Xun didn't realize that he was immersed in it.

But after watching for a moment, the werewolf's instinctive vigilance suddenly made him feel a cold killing intent on his back.

Ji Xun woke up from his sleepwalking state and immediately realized something: "Enemy attack!"

Without any hesitation, the curse marks were instantly spread all over his body, and a bronze metallic paint appeared on his skin.

For the first time, a layer of punching energy lingered on his fist, and he turned around and punched hard.

At the same time, Ji Xun realized belatedly that he was addicted to looking at the stone carvings just now, and he shouted in his heart: "What a strong mental addiction!"

The power of this mural is stronger than some hallucinogenic drugs.

Almost suffered a big loss.

A thought flashed through.

"Boom!"

Ji Xun happened to hit the sneak attacker's fist with one punch.

Although he has just advanced to the third level, his fists blessed with domination and cursed seals are like steel cones, and with the strange punch power of [Two Extremes Collapsing], normally, if he hits an alloy shield, he will be able to collapse an alloy shield with one punch. Big hole.

But just at this confident counterattack, the moment his fists touched, Ji Xun's expression suddenly changed.

He felt like his fist didn't hit a physical fist, but hit the tip of a sharp knight's spear!
In an instant, there was a "click" sound of bone cracking, and the strange piercing force pierced several of his phalanges.

"It's actually a spear skill?!"

Ji Xun was shocked when he saw this.

He never expected that this punch would be the spear technique he saw on the rock wall just now!

But it's not over yet!

The strange force on the sneak attacker's fist did not dissipate. Instead, it had the momentum to rush into Ji Xun's body and shatter everything along his arm.

The fatal crisis hit me instantly.

Ji Xun knew that if he continued to fight head-on, he would be severely injured.

He changed his stance, quickly released his foot, and with the force of the recoil, he flew backwards without exerting any force.

"Boom!"

Ji Xun was punched hard against the rock wall, causing large pieces of rubble to fall.

Fortunately, the arm was saved.

But before he had any time to breathe, the guy opposite yelled strangely and rushed over again: "Wow quack!"

Only then did Ji Xun see clearly, wasn't this the "deformed lunatic with three arms" who had killed the hooked nose with one punch before?
However, Mingming. Mingming, the strength of this long-armed madman's physical body should be at the level of a third-level card master.

Ji Xun even felt that he was not as good as himself.

How can it be so strong?
When he was distributing food, Ji Xun saw the lunatic blowing up the hooked nose with one punch. Ji Xun thought it was just using some kind of special punch.

However, when he faced it, he realized how weird that punch was.

If it weren't for the special secret technique of the Overlord Body and the curse seal, most of his body would have been broken into pieces if the strange spear power entered his body just now.

Just at this moment of thought, the long-armed monster had already charged over.

Those long arms were like two spears, and the air crackled with their slaps.

Ji Xun did not dare to be careless. While blocking and dodging, a green light lingered on his badly injured right arm, which healed in the blink of an eye.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang".
The two sides had already fought for several rounds in a very short period of time.

The monster's movement was very strange, and it was not even much slower than Ji Xun's werewolf body in this cramped mine.

Moreover, ordinary people's arms only have one joint, but this guy has two joints, so the position of the fist is completely unpredictable.

Once it comes into close contact, the strength is like a sharp thorn drilling into the flesh.

Even though Ji Xun was able to fight back and forth, he still suffered a lot.

If he hadn't been physically strong enough and had the secret technique of "Immortality Curse", he might have lost his arms and legs long ago.

Just from this sudden confrontation, Ji Xun was amazed in his heart: "Is this the 'meaning' that this guy has understood? This combat intuition is simply watertight."

The more I beat him, the more shocked I became.

This monster seems to have an unconscious instinct, and its attacks and blocks are always at the right place.

This made Ji Xun very clear that he would never get any advantage in fighting.

Even if his physical attributes are much stronger.

The noise of the battle was very loud, and it sounded like the sound of blasting explosives in the mine.

And there is more than one aberrant miner on the sixth floor of this mine!
"We must fight quickly!"

Ji Xun didn't want to get entangled. Seeing that he couldn't win in a short time, a silver light flashed in his hand.

The scalpel flew out like lightning.

"whoosh" "whoosh" "whoosh".
The scalpel was invisible in the darkness, and it struck quickly.

However, the long-armed monster perfectly avoided it with a strange posture.

Ji Xun frowned slightly when he saw this, but at the same time, a layer of gravitational ripples appeared in his hand.

The left paw of the five fingers pulled hard, and the flying knives that had just flown out turned around strangely, and then shot back at ten times the speed.

The long-armed miner seemed to be aware of it and had instinctively made a dodge action.

However, the speed of the flying knife is too fast and it is impossible to completely avoid it.

The two knives "嚓" and "嚓" still cut into its joints.

One of the knives hit his knee, making a bloody hole, and his whole body staggered to his knees.

Ji Xun watched the lunatic reveal his flaws. He left a series of afterimages in his path. He appeared in front of the guy with his face close to his face and punched him.

"Boom!"

The long-armed lunatic was blasted away, a mouthful of blood spurted out in mid-air, and then crashed onto the rock wall.

This punch would have left a human being dead and severely disabled.

But instead of seeing much decline, this aberrant monster actually laughed strangely: "Wow, wow, master! Master!"

As he spoke, he limped again and rushed forward.

"It's so difficult."

If there was only one aberrant monster, Ji Xun felt that he could kill it slowly and slowly.

But during the moment when the two of them were fighting, he heard at least three unusual movements in the surrounding mines.

None of the aberrant miners on the sixth floor of this mine are easy to deal with.

Ji Xun didn't dare to continue, so he changed his legs to four legs, climbed on the rock wall with his wolf claws, and quickly rushed into the depths of the cave.

Fortunately, he evacuated decisively.

Almost as soon as he stepped forward, several strangely distorted miners emerged from the other mine and blocked the previous mine.

Watching Ji Xun escape, four or five monsters chased him all the way.

Fortunately, although these madmen have good combat capabilities, their agility attributes are much worse than those of the werewolves Ji Xun transformed, and they are not good at climbing walls.

He ran all the way, and soon there was no movement behind him.

But at this time, Ji Xun also realized something else.

If the monster didn't come, it might not just be that he couldn't catch up.

But he has come to a very dangerous place.

There are no obvious boundaries between "layers" and "layers" in this mine. They are all mine tunnels and natural rock crevices dug out by miners.

The rock formation areas are then roughly distinguished by pollution levels.Ji Xun felt the intensity of pollution around him, which was several times stronger than before.

He felt that he should be on the legendary "Seventh Level".

The information I got before is that the monsters in this mine generally do not actively attack humans.

Ji Xun was attacked by the long-armed lunatic just now, and he must have broken into their "territory".

Ji Xun, who came after a few people, also guessed that they were sensitive to mental fluctuations such as "malice" and "murderous intent", so they were attracted to them.

"Seven floors should be the limit."

Ji Xun observed his surroundings. Within a moment, his nerves ached from the pollution.

The negative mental power here is filled with a lot of killing and violence. It is a kind of violent pollution that makes people sink quickly if they relax.

After walking a few steps, I saw some severely distorted human skeletons in the corner.

After distinguishing the texture of the bones, they were as tough as iron and had a jade-like color. They were obviously the bones of a "high-level card master".

The presence of any living creatures can no longer be seen or felt nearby.

"."

Ji Xun looked at the deep mine tunnel with a serious expression.

I originally wanted to explore the source of the pollution, but now it seems almost impossible.

If he continues further, he is not sure that he will not suffer from mental pollution and distortion.

Thinking that he had already arrived here, he took another sip of the awakening potion, and the "Kongyue Shenxiang" also started to operate to protect his consciousness, and he decided to walk inside again.

After walking a few steps, I saw some more carvings on the rock wall.

After a cursory glance, there are still some fragmented moves such as martial arts and spells.

It seems that these are the insights carved by those deformed lunatics.

These stone carvings are treasures.

Even if it is incomplete, if you really want to dig it out and take it out, it will definitely be a "high-level secret book".

But the martial arts here are obviously more addictive.

Having suffered a loss before, Ji Xun didn't dare to focus on it anymore.

I thought that if I didn't find anything, I would peel off the rock wall before leaving and take it up to take a look.

It's not a waste of time.

Ji Xun just walked all the way.

After about another hundred meters of extremely difficult walking, he suddenly stopped.

Because at this time, he has reached the end of the road.

Here is a huge space.

In the middle, there is an endless dark hole.

Ji Xun looked around, like a bottomless pit, unable to see anything at all.

But it was like walking to the crater of a volcano, and the "burning sensation" was already unbearable.

The mental pollution billowing out of the black hole was so strong that Ji Xun felt like a wave hitting his face. His whole soul was shaking, and he was about to leave his body at any moment.

"Is this the source of the pollution?"

Ji Xun looked at the black hole and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Even if his mental perception is completely blocked, this is no longer a point he can bear.

Who knows how deep the pit is.

Ji Xun glanced around the pit, but was disappointed.

He saw no one alive.

Not even aberrations.

There were only a few corpses in the corner.

"Aren't you here"

Ji Xun has already begun to think about quitting.

He came here just to find the legendary "senior".

But now it seems that there are no living people at all.

There were a lot of crystals on the ground. Ji Xun picked up a few of the best-looking ones and turned around to leave.

But just before leaving, he glanced at the rock wall that was also full of stone carvings, and he was attracted again.

If it were just some fragments of martial arts, Ji Xun would never risk his life to see more.

But his eyes stayed.

Because on a stone wall, I saw a narrative sculpture of a battle.

The carving is completely different from other stone carvings.

That piece is clearly a masterpiece.

Not only is it meticulous, exquisite and expressive, it is also filled with color.

This is often seen in ancient ruins.

Usually to record major events that occurred before the ruins existed.

The same goes for this mural.

What is engraved on it is a group of knights in armor, led by a woman wearing a bright red sacrificial robe, surrounding and killing an angel with wings?

That's why he couldn't keep his eyes open.

"what's the situation?"

When Ji Xun saw this content, he immediately realized that this might be the origin of the mine ruins.

But this didn't surprise him.

What was surprising was the appearance of the man in red robe!

"Is this... Nanjing?"

Ji Xun looked at the content on the mural and was surprised to find that the appearance of the red-robed priest was very vivid and familiar to him at a glance.

The priest actually looks a bit like Miss Ball Head!
After all, they are friends, and Ji Xun's first impression is of her!
"Is this the high priest of Oran?"

Ji Xun suddenly realized that it was not that he looked similar to Nan Jing, but that he had a similar appearance to someone from the lineage of the Great Priest of Oran.

After all, he had met Nan Jing's mother.

Mother and daughter are also very similar.

The red-robed priest on the mural is also very similar to the "Aunt Nan".

In other words, is this the bloodline ancestor of Nanjing?
But Ji Xun suddenly thought of another question: "No, isn't this Sinless City a relic of the ancient Talun Kingdom in 3000? Why is it involved with the High Priest of Oran?"

With these thoughts, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of an explanation.

Catalina had told him before that the clues excavated from the Old Continent showed that the Augustus royal family of the Oran Dynasty, which had ruled the Eastern Continent for more than 2000 years, was very likely to be related to the Augustus of the Talon Dynasty 3000 years ago. King Si comes from the same lineage!
"In other words, is the Oran Dynasty really the descendant of the Talon Dynasty? What happened 3000 years ago that completely destroyed the Old Continent and caused the Augustus royal family to migrate to the Eastern Continent?"

Ji Xun had countless doubts in his mind.

He already knew that he might have touched an unknown piece of history.

"Also, the Weeping Angel is actually the ancestor of Nanjing?"

Ji Xun's eyes twitched sharply.

If the man with wings on the mural is the Weeping Angel on his body, the matter will be complicated.

It’s enough that Nanjing’s ancestor is the high priest of Oran, why kill angels?

What about the man wearing the crown who is protected by the angel, the royal family?

And not only the angels and priests were familiar with it, but also the knight corps Ji Xun looked familiar.

Those Crusader shields and various symbols wearing crosses, aren't these the images of the [Keepers of Secrets] in "The Great Cemetery Labyrinth"?

There are various indications that this is a relic from the Talon Dynasty.

For a moment, Ji Xun felt like his mind was in a mess.

My thoughts seem to be out of control.

He didn't dare to look more and avoided looking.

It's a coincidence.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from my ears - "Dong".

Ji Xun's expression changed suddenly!

He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Like the sound of a heartbeat.

Although weak.

But in this absolutely quiet underground, you can hear it clearly.

Ji Xun felt that if it wasn't a mental hallucination, he must have heard something.

But even after looking over, he found nothing and immediately became suspicious: "Hallucination?"

I didn't dare to be careless.

But after observing for a while, I still found nothing.

Only then did Ji Xun's eyes look at the details of the mural.

It looked like the scene where the red-robed priest led the knight legion to fight against the angels.

"It turns out that this ruins is an ancient battlefield."

Ji Xun suddenly understood how this big pit was formed.

There are also those negative mental forces lingering in the entire mine. Why are there such strong residual fighting intentions and fragments of various martial arts and spells.

Because these are all left by the top-level card masters who died here.

In the past, the Talon Dynasty had super-level card masters who could compete head-on with the Weeping Angels.

After those super-powerful men died in battle, the fragments left behind were enough for today's card masters to understand for a lifetime.

"Tsk tsk."

This feeling of uncovering the secrets of history is very good. Ji Xun's eyes were full of energy as he looked at it.

But the good times didn't last long.

However, not long after, Ji Xun could no longer bear the negative mental pollution around him, and his head became dizzy.

He originally thought of leaving here first and then observing more carefully when he could tolerate mental pollution better.

However, the moment he turned around, he heard a "dong" sound again.

"That's right! It's the heartbeat!"

This time, Ji Xun was sure that he heard correctly and that it was not an illusion.

Because the sound came from the same direction just now!
There are still living people here!
Is it.
Ji Xun's eyes suddenly became expectant.

Calculating the time, it only jumped once in 1 minute?
This is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.

But Ji Xun himself is a qigong master. He has heard a saying that some top qigong masters can suppress their heartbeat and breathing to an extremely low level when they meditate deeply.

That state is almost dormant, which can minimize the body's consumption and allow the body to best maintain "qi".

"It's that senior! He's really here!"

When Ji Xun thought of this, he had almost confirmed his guess.

Only a qigong master of that level could survive in such an environment.

But alive is alive, Ji Xun is not sure whether the senior is a human being or a deformed monster.

Or even if there is no distortion, there is hostility.
Ji Xun thought about this for a moment.

He had no intention of interrupting rashly and waking up the senior who was deep in meditation.

Instead, he took out the good wine and food from the storage ring and placed them on the ground.

In front of such a master, he felt that the only thing he could offer was the scarce food in these mines.

This was something I had considered before coming in.

In order to avoid seniors having tricky tastes, we prepared a lot of all kinds of good wines and dishes.

Besides, it's always right to be polite first.

I have seen the "intentions" of those deformed lunatics before, and those monsters can easily sense people's malice.

Ji Xun felt that if he showed any crooked thoughts now, he would be immediately defeated.

So he put down his things, turned around decisively and prepared to leave.

Once you meet someone, whether you get the opportunity or not depends on luck later.

I can't get out now anyway.

Don't be anxious, just wait for the result of this first meeting.

Speaking of which, Ji Xun always had good luck in times of crisis.

He took out a bunch of wine jars and opened a few bottles on purpose.

Just when I was about to leave, my heartbeat started to beat faster and faster in that familiar direction.

"woke up!"

Ji Xun knew that his behavior had awakened the person in deep meditation, and his breathing became slightly heavier.

Although I don’t know whether that senior is good or evil.

But this time he came for this person, and he had to face him after all.

He didn't leave either.

And the good thing is that the person who was not awake when Ji Xun came in before, but now he is awake after taking out the things, which means that this method of casting stones to ask for directions is correct!
Just when Ji Xun nervously looked at the direction of the distant sound, a withered arm poked out from the pile of sand and gravel.

Only then did Ji Xun realize that he hadn't seen anyone just now.

But this senior was buried by the falling sand and gravel.

A hand stretched out, and then, like a zombie crawling out of a grave.

A little old man who was not too tall and skinny stood up.

He didn't even look at Ji Xun, his eyes had already seen the wine on the ground, "Oh, I haven't smelled this in years."

It had been a long time since he had spoken, and his voice was still hoarse with gravel stuck in his throat.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of life in the old man's eyes, he would have been a mummy that had just been peeled out of the bandages.

But Ji Xun didn't look down upon him at all.

In another place, this ordinary old man would definitely be ignored by others.

But here, the fact that he is still alive has proven that his strength is by no means ordinary.
