Cataclysm King

Chapter 420: The Fall of Behemoth: The Siege of the City

Ji Xun took Old Man Xu away because he was afraid that the presence of this old senior would affect the exploration progress of the Rebel Dragon Army.

After all, every time this person appears, many people will die.

But now it seems that it was not the people from the Rebel Dragon Army who happened to capture this old senior.

This kind of encounter seems to be a coincidence, but after it happens many times, Ji Xun has a feeling that Old Man Xu seems to be waiting for him to meet him in the place where fate will inevitably meet him.

This is not a coincidence, but a necessity.

Now that Ji Xun's ability of "I am the world" has become more and more advanced, he can vaguely deduce the special destiny of Old Man Xu.

Wandering through the long years, forgetting myself and not being remembered, as if I had never appeared.

Although he was searching aimlessly, he found the [Forbidden Ruins Stele] again and again, and recalled some past memories.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Old Man Xu is directly related to the collapse of the Taren Dynasty.

That is
This guy has lived for more than three thousand years?
Ji Xun had doubted this question after watching "The Horror Insect Nest" last time, and was shocked at that time.

You know, in his mind, the only human being who had lived three thousand years ago was the gravekeeper of the Mausoleum of Augustus.

But even that person is a dead spirit.

Instead of a living person like Old Man Xu.

Eh. Could it be that he’s not a human either?

Ji Xun's mind suddenly became active.

But I also know that I will never get any results.

This old man can't remember anything under normal circumstances.

Ji Xun thought about it and gave up.

No matter what, I owe this old senior a lot of favors because he has helped me escape from danger many times.

No matter what his situation was, Ji Xun still treated him as a respected senior.

If I really want to think about it, I'm just curious about what secrets this guy is involved in.

Moreover, Old Man Xu also has another function – “anchor point”.

Ji Xun and his four companions were walking in the air. With the map they had obtained from the Rebel Dragon Army, they headed towards the depths of the ruins.

The people from the Rebel Dragon Army said that they have discovered the area where the ruins of the Imperial Capital Behemoth are located. If possible, of course we have to go and take a look.

After all, this may be the greatest treasure trove in the Old World.

The journey took three days.

Chujiu and Nanjing's means of perception are very strong, and their abilities can easily detect various secret sentinels;

There is also Old Man Xu’s “human-shaped avoidance device”, which can perfectly and automatically avoid potentially fatal routes.

Just like that, this strange combination of four people, without encountering any danger, successfully reached the depths of the ruins.

In the ruins of a broken building, Ji Xun and three others hid behind the rubble and used binoculars to observe the bustling adventurer camp a few kilometers away.

The adventurer's camp at the end of the sight was brightly lit.

Several super-large teleportation arrays are continuously teleporting mercenaries over.

According to a rough estimate, there were tens of thousands of mercenaries in sight.

However, the most eye-catching thing is not the camp, but the huge twisted light gate with a diameter of more than one thousand meters.

It stands in the void, like a vertical eye of a demon, watching everything around it.

Just looking at it from a distance gives people a tingling feeling on their scalp.

It was also the first time that Ji Xun and the other two had seen such an exaggerated alien dimension.

Seeing this scene, Nan Jing couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really exaggerated. There is such a large different-dimensional space here."

Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly, and he also said: "This should be the other-dimensional space in "The Final Battle: The Fall of Behemoth". The Rebel Dragon Army has explored it before, and it is extremely difficult. It is a super-large battlefield, and even high-level card masters who go in may become cannon fodder."

After hearing this, Nan Jing and Chu Jiu on the side also had very solemn expressions.

The plot of this different dimension is about the last few key battles that led to the collapse of the Imperial City of Taren. After all, many powerful people died here, so it must be dangerous.

But correspondingly, there must be great opportunities.

At this moment, the top leaders of the three kingdoms in the southern continent are organizing batches of adventurers to enter the space.

Ji Xun also identified the identities of those people through their flags and noble emblems.

Not only mercenaries went in, but also regular legions from the three kingdoms, private soldiers of the nobles, and even some high-ranking generals.

This also directly confirms that the things produced in the other-dimensional space are probably something that even the top leaders of the Holy See would envy.

So much so that these guys are willing to explore at all costs.

When Ji Xun saw this, his eyebrows narrowed slightly with a hint of anticipation.

Chujiu, who was standing beside him, glanced at the eager look on his face and asked, "Ji Xun, are you planning to go in?"

Ji Xun nodded: "Yeah."

The people of the Rebel Dragon Army retreated because they couldn't get close to the entrance to the other-dimensional space.

But he has Ivan, so he can easily get there remotely.

In addition to the treasures, Ji Xun was also very interested in the truth of that broken period of history.

Chujiu didn't think much about it and said calmly: "I'll go with you."

Nan Jing on the side also responded: "Sister Chujiu, I want to go with you too."

Ji Xun glanced at the two of them, and without saying anything, he replied, "Okay!"

Even without any information, everyone can imagine that this alien dimension must be very difficult.

Although the three of them are all at level six and are quite powerful, no one can guarantee that they will come out alive.

But Ji Xun knew that Chujiu had a [Space Teleportation Card].

And it just so happened that when "Horror Insect Nest" was resolved last time, Ji Xun got another one.

That is to say, at least the two friends have a way out.

As for himself, Ji Xun never thought about it.

He was certain from the beginning to the end that the other-dimensional space encouraged people to take risks and would definitely leave a glimmer of hope for survival.

Moreover, although [Space Teleportation Cards] are rare, the high-ranking officials in the Southern Continent may still have stocks of them.

Ji Xun felt that there might be many "big shots" of noble status in this different dimension.

Being able to compete with these masters on the same stage is also something that makes people look forward to it.

He thought of something, raised his lips slightly, looked at Chujiu beside him, and said: "If we are lucky, we can even meet the new King Arthur in space."

Before, Chujiu only obtained the [Secret Book of Imperial Conferment], and with the blessing of good luck, he found the opportunity to break through to the seventh level.

Since this space is the battle where the capital of Taren was destroyed, there must be more lucky treasures.

As a descendant of Augustus, he must have more advantages than others.

The same was true for Chujiu and her brother Arthur.

Even if there are risks, they will probably come.

The Orlan royal family wants to maximize their profits in the exploration, and doing things in the alien space is much safer than in the outside world.

After Ji Xun and the other two decided to go on an adventure together, they were not in a hurry to set off.

Instead, he observed carefully.

According to the intelligence previously obtained from the Rebel Dragon Army, this alien dimension has an unlimited time war mode. Judging from the current exploration progress, the plot may not be concluded for several months.

You can go in at any time.

This is also the reason why those people from the Arel Empire in the distant camp kept sending people into the space.

Be prepared.

Ji Xun wanted to observe what kind of people had entered.

After observing for most of the day, several people saw at least 20,000 people entering the different dimension.

There are actually four seventh-level dragonborn.

Normally, card masters above level seven rarely explore other-dimensional spaces personally.

First, there are very few high-level different-dimensional spaces;
Second, the spatial will will adjust the difficulty of the plot according to the rank of the participants.

The participation of a seventh-level card master means that the actual difficulty limit of the space will be above the eighth level.

Once such a strong person participates, the death rate of other participants will be extremely high, almost like a "single-player copy".

Moreover, in this kind of space adventure with a guaranteed mortality rate, no one is sure what will happen, and even the Seventh Level cannot guarantee that he will survive to the end.

If one person really dies, it will be a loss that cannot be replaced by countless resources.

But this time it was different. The Holy See had obviously invested heavily, and all the seventh-level cultivators had become pioneers of exploration.

Perhaps it was because the plot was too difficult, so they had to send in top-level experts.

Ji Xun has participated in it countless times and has basically determined the rules of survival in the space.

That is, among people of the same level, the stronger you are, the easier it is to survive.

Seeing those level 7s going in, he didn't think it was a bad thing, but was looking forward to it. Just when Ji Xun was observing the adventurer camp that was strictly guarded by the masters of the Holy See.

No one expected that in an inconspicuous tent in the camp, several men in black robes summoned a handsome man with short silver hair.

The man exuded a kingly aura that made him look majestic without even getting angry.

As soon as they appeared, several cloaked men half-knelt and performed the knight's salute: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The man who came was none other than Arthur, the new king of Oran.

"Your Majesty, we have just confirmed a plot line that can lead to the palace through the tunnel. But do you really want to go in person? What I mean is that we have all the information about these mercenary groups in the southern continent. It won't be too late for us to take action after they explore and really discover the treasure."

"No. The things I need can only be accessed by the bloodline of Augustus. Those people can't get them."

"But according to current intelligence, this alien space is very dangerous. You..."

"It doesn't matter. I am from the royal family of Augustus. I am blessed by the luck of the dynasty. There will be no accidents no matter what. As long as we can get the legendary [God-killing Demon Sword Tyr'front] that the ancestor Alduin ordered the lava dwarves to forge, the dragons of the southern continent will no longer be a threat in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"."

Hearing this, the cloaked men didn't dare to say anything more.

Several sets of Black Dragon Kingdom officer uniforms had already been prepared on the side.

One of them lifted up her cloak, revealing a beautiful face. It was Betty, the princess of the Black Dragon Kingdom.

The divine body of the moon goddess Arachne, now Queen Orlan, had been lurking in the ranks of the Holy See for a long time, and no one had discovered her.

At this moment she walked forward and put on a camouflage military uniform for Arthur.

Ivan's ability allows him to enter another dimension remotely.

After finding a distance that the loli's ability could reach, a space crack opened up.

In addition to Ji Xun and the other two, Old Man Xu would of course go as well.

I don’t know why, but the old senior who usually hides behind others because he is afraid of death is very active this time.

It seems that there is something very important to him in this different dimension.

The surrounding scene flashed, and Ji Xun and the others saw the enlightenment prompts at the first time.

"You have entered "Fallen Behemoth: Siege of the City""

"Current disaster level C, mortality rate: 79.7%"

"Space exploration progress: 3.7%"

「Keywords: war mode」

"Special restrictions: You cannot use special items that conflict with the plot."

"Plot clues: The imperial city of Behemoth is surrounded by rebels, and the war has begun."

"Current mission: The war has been going on for several months. You and your teammates are the few surviving elite members of the Talen Empire Griffin Reconnaissance Regiment. Your current mission is to travel deep into the enemy's territory, investigate their strategic deployment and weaknesses, and assassinate enemy generals. Killing rebel generals will earn you military merits and honor badges, which are symbols of glory and the only proof of your withdrawal from the battlefield. Of course, the mission requires that you must have 10000 military merits before you can leave the battlefield."

"Tip: The ruins contain a large number of high-level relics of ancient wisdom, such as 'Time Sand Bottle (Epic)', 'Elemental God Stone (Epic)', 'Blade of Space and Time (Legend)', 'God Rune Scroll', 'Titan Armor Real Object and Blueprint', etc. After completing the task, depending on the difficulty of the plot task, it will be added to the settlement card pool and a certain probability of drawing cards will be obtained; accumulated war merits can be exchanged for related war items at the additional exchange place."

"Challenges intensify: The plot of this space points to the final battle of gods that will lead to the destruction of Taren. Countless strong men have fallen, and the battle has also caused chaos in the order of time and space. There is a lot of super-cognitive content, so please treat it with caution."

Facts have proved that the intelligence inspired by the will of space has always been the most direct and important intelligence.

Although Ji Xun knew some of it in advance.

But at this moment I am also reading the contents carefully.

Ji Xun read every word of the inspiration carefully, and was dazzled by the various reward items suggested.

The Will of Space would indeed give advance notice of some copy reward items, but it had never been as luxurious as this time.

There are legendary and epic quality items everywhere.

These are things that you can tell are treasures just by hearing their names.

"Hehe, this is to encourage adventurers to fight hard."

Ji Xun looked at it and laughed strangely in his heart.

The quality of these rewards also indirectly confirms one point, that is, the plot is very difficult.

At the same time, the will of space also encourages adventurers to explore the plot and obtain higher plots.

However, Ji Xun just glanced at it and didn't look at it any further.

If you don't get out alive, these things are just illusions.

After taking a quick look at other useful tips, he immediately discovered the problem: "But, the space exploration rate is only 3.7%?"

The Rebel Dragon Army said that they started exploring a week ago.

Only 3.7% now?

Before, we could say that the rebel dragon army was short of manpower, the casualties were too high, and the development progress was slow.

But now the Holy See has stuffed countless people into this alien dimension, and they have only explored such a small area?

This means that the map of this different dimension must be incredibly large.

"Hehe, that's interesting."

It was also the first time that Ji Xun encountered such a low exploration rate in an alien space.

Too many thoughts immediately emerged in his mind.

A larger map means a higher degree of freedom and more plots that can be triggered.

This is just the normal plot map, not including the hidden plot map that can be extended.

This made Ji Xun suddenly have a strong desire to explore this huge different-dimensional space.

And it's not just about exploration.

Ji Xun saw the last hint he had never seen before, and frowned, thinking, "Is the challenge intensifying?"

This has never happened before.

I haven't even seen it in any classics.

Judging from the literal meaning, does it mean that there is a hidden plot of unknown difficulty?
Ji Xun knew that these were the most accurate and direct information about entering the other-dimensional space.

Since the spatial will has given hints, it must be useful.

After reading the description again, his expression became serious, and he pondered in his heart: "What does chaotic time sequence mean? Does chaos mean that there are many phenomena that should not be considered with common sense?"

He had a lot on his mind.

A flash of thought passed through my mind and the surrounding scenery changed.

The four appeared in a dense mountain forest.

The sunlight shines through the dense treetops into the forest, forming strands of thin golden threads. The scenery is beautiful.

Nan Jing and Chujiu, who were standing by, were so stunned by the beautiful scenery that made them feel relaxed and at ease that their eyes were trembling.

Miss Ball Head whispered softly: "So beautiful!"

For Ji Xun, this was a very common forest scene in his previous life.

But it cannot be seen in this cave world.

I didn’t expect that there was a sun in Behemoth, the imperial capital three thousand years ago?

"No, it should be some kind of magical product."

Ji Xun thought of the [moon].

There was also the scene in the secret realm of the Shenxu Treasure House where Jia Yu used the sun to ambush and kill the vampire.

Looking through the treetops, the sun in the sky seems to be an extraordinary object that also exists.

However, before they could think about it, something unexpected happened.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow came flying through the air without warning.

Ji Xun's ears moved slightly and he heard the sound of breaking wind in advance.

He tilted his head slightly, and then saw a feather arrow with a spell of breaking the barrier on the tip flying almost close to his nose.

A strong wind blew on my face.

The sharp arrow was originally designed to accurately shoot heads.

It missed now, but in an instant it hit the huge tree next to Ji Xun that was so thick that several people were hugging it, and penetrated through it.

It pierced through the roots of several large trees one after another before disappearing into the dense forest.

This arrow is enough to severely damage a third or fourth level card master.

And this arrow is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, countless "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounds broke through the air like raindrops in the dense forest.

Ji Xun grinned as he saw the danger he encountered just after landing.

Never before had he felt such an intensity of encounter before. Instead of feeling worried, his blood and energy began to stir.

In a blink of an eye, he disappeared on the spot.
