Cataclysm King

Chapter 489 Mrs. Mist?
"Is it really that coffin?"

Ji Xun looked at the fully loaded animal carts on the street and confirmed with Ivan again.

The little girl said that the third car, which was covered with a maroon wool blanket with gold thread, gave her a very familiar feeling.

It could only be that mysterious coffin.

Griffith had previously speculated that this girl might have been born in that coffin, and that she was the spiritual embodiment of the higher spatial laws.

An existence similar to that of an "instrument spirit".

However, whether it was the coffin or his identity, Ivan himself couldn't explain what was going on.

There is no way to find out.

But Ji Xun had also seen two other similar mysterious black coffins.

When he went to Bai's house and took the neon train, there was a black coffin that could warm the soul and help cultivate spiritual power; the Oran royal family also had one that could warm corpses; and in the ruins of Xiamu City, Ji Xun guessed that there might be one on the [Bazix's Netherworld Train] with a strange time domain;
This is the fourth bite.

The history of these coffins can be traced back to the chaotic era before the Talen Empire.

What exactly it was for, neither Griffith, the leader of the Rebel Dragon Army, nor the high priest Nan Su Shang knew.

Ji Xun felt that the people in the Holy See probably didn’t know either.

But they all confirmed one thing, that this coffin had super strong sealing ability.

When Ji Xun thought of this, his thoughts became active: "It's interesting that an archbishop brought this coffin here. Is he going to seal some super-level existence? Or is it sealing something itself?"

This information was impossible to find in the camp, and he didn't know what it meant.

But the bigger the Holy See's moves, the more the situation is out of their control.

Thinking about the old man Xu he met yesterday, Ji Xun had a strong premonition: something big is about to happen in this dead zone!

But precisely because of this, a familiar feeling of excitement also came over me.

Ji Xun said all his speculations and finally came to his own conclusion, reminding: "I suspect that the core of this chaotic storm may not be in the dead zone, but in the camp."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Qin Rushi and the revolutionary soldiers at the same table suddenly became solemn.

They knew what Ji Xun meant by saying this. He wanted to remind them of the risks again. If they stayed, they might end up in a dead end.

But everyone couldn't keep up with Ji Xun's thinking.

Bonnie asked doubtfully, "Ji Xun, you said that the bishop is either level eight or level nine, and there is also the magic tower. Who dares to mess up the camp?"

Ji Xun didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the most likely outcome of his deduction, "What if it's not a human?"

"Demolition Master" Rosen's expression brightened, and he suddenly said, "You mean Warcraft?"

"Holy Hammer" Sam at the side finally understood and said, "Yes! There are so many high-level monsters coming out of the dead zone recently. If we can lure a few of them to attack the camp, we may be able to break into the city. But what is the purpose of doing this? The Red Robe Archbishop is so strong. If he really wants to leave, no matter how many monsters come, it will be useless."

After hearing this, everyone was puzzled.

However, Qin Rushi, who had not spoken a word, had already understood what Ji Xun meant, and she spoke up at this time: "If they are not coming for people, then there must be something in the camp."

After thinking for a moment, she continued, "This camp was originally a temple of the Sun. Perhaps there is something vital to the former Dragon God Maraudis. I suspect the people of the Holy See want to use this as bait to lure the Sun Cult to attack and take back the item."

It turned out to be the case.

Everyone understood immediately after hearing it.

They have been fighting guerrilla warfare in the Eastern Wilderness for many years and are very familiar with this tactic.

They certainly understood the difficulty of encircling and annihilating the Sun Cult in the Warcraft Forest.

Instead of looking for them everywhere, it is better to use bait and destroy them in one blow.

Everyone was guided by Qin Rushi and gradually understood what Ji Xun had said just now.

Bonnie asked curiously again: "Ah, Ji Xun, what is in this camp? Those Illuminati believers will definitely come?"

Ji Xun spread his hands and said, "Who knows? I suspect it might be something related to the [Sun Disk]. After all, even if the Dragon God Marodis is still alive as I guessed, if He didn't show up, He must have been sealed or exiled. It takes some means to make Him come."

He really didn't know what it was, but the people of the Holy See obviously knew better than anyone what those heretics needed.

Ji Xun's understanding of this world is no longer superficial, but at all times, he still finds it extremely wonderful and mysterious.

There are still too many unsolved mysteries.

The existence of the magical "other-dimensional space" in this world means that some things cannot be completely erased.

Just like the "ingredients" stewed in a pot, no matter what form it becomes, the decomposed energy substances still exist. Then through certain specific rules, those energy substances can be restored to their original appearance.

It's like the Sun Wheel.

Even though this holy relic of the Church of Light may have been lost over the long years.

But it can still be found in some related different-dimensional spaces.

It doesn't matter what "stuff" there is in this camp.

The important thing is that Ji Xun is now basically certain that someone is going to cause trouble in the camp.

Ji Xun had only a slight sense of crisis before, after all, he thought the battlefield should be in the "Dead Zone".

However, now that he saw the red-robed archbishop coming to the camp, he knew that something had changed.

The members of the Sun Cult would surely be able to guess it.

So this battle must be fought.

Ji Xun had witnessed Griffith attacking the ninth-level archbishop before, and he knew very well that if masters of this level really fought, even a second glance could be the cause of death.

This is also the reason why he told Qin Rushi and others now.

If I stay here, I might really die.

Since some dangerous signs have been foreseen, the normal choice is to leave here first.

But all the people at the table were revolutionary army cadres who had gone through countless risks and had big hearts.

Although they were all aware of the crisis, instead of backing off, they all had an excitement in their eyes that showed they were eager to try.

Crisis always brings opportunities.

Everyone can see that this dead zone related to the fall of Emperor Lanlingster must contain great opportunities.

As long as there is a slight chance, no one wants to leave empty-handed.

Ji Xun added: "But I think, Aunt Qin, aren't you optimistic about that eighth-level pure-blooded Hell Peacock? I think if something goes wrong in the camp, that monster might come."

Qin Rushi just nodded after listening: "Yeah."

She had learned about the [Underworld Peacock] before, and she found that the attributes of that hell-type monster were very consistent with her own career sequence.

But as a leader, she has to consider more.

She didn't dare to be careless, glanced at Ji Xun, and asked, "Do you have a plan?"

"No."

Ji Xun shook his head.

Qin Rushi frowned slightly as she looked at him.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, as if to say: You don’t even have a plan?

Ji Xun smiled at himself, "I am the world" cannot be deduced to everything.

At least not with his current abilities.

But he didn't explain much because he had encountered this situation more than once.

If he hadn't met Old Man Xu, he really thought it would be safest to leave the camp first and watch the fun from a distance.

But since we have encountered it, there is actually a way.

Without further ado, Ji Xun stood up and said, "I'll go find an anchor first."

Everyone: "Anchor point?"

Ji Xun nodded seriously: "Yes. An anchor point that can keep you alive."

After the Holy See's team entered the camp, they set up camp in the magic tower in the southeast.

The camp returned to its normal bustle.

Not only an archbishop and thousands of Holy Dragon Knights came, but also a large number of mercenaries and adventurers followed the convoy.

There are many more unfamiliar faces on the streets.

Ji Xun was not sure whether the other members of the Great Sword Group could contact Old Man Xu, so he and Qin Rushi walked out of the restaurant alone.

Qin Rushi's fate is very special. Another point is that the ancestral spirit she contracted with knows Old Man Xu.

Old man Xu loves drinking and can be found in pubs most of the time.

as predicted.

The two had just found a second tavern when they spotted a creepy old man in the corner of the bar at the "Time Traveler Tavern".

He was wearing a simple adventurer's leather armor, and it was obvious that he had no money.

He took out a few silver coins and counted them again and again, the embarrassment of having no money to eat after drinking was completely written on his face.

But I just covet the cabinet full of fine wine.

The wrinkled old face was full of confusion.

In the end, he reluctantly handed over a few coins in exchange for a glass of cheap wine that the bartender handed over with an expressionless face.

Ji Xun looked at the old man with a smile on his face, it seemed as if he had never changed.

I don’t know why, such a legendary figure always encounters such embarrassing situations.

He and Qin Rushi walked over, asked the bartender to serve the wine, and greeted him at the same time: "Senior Xu, long time no see."

Qin Rushi also greeted him calmly but respectfully: "Senior."

In front of this immortal, no matter who you are, you must show enough respect.

Old Man Xu heard someone calling him, and turned to look at Ji Xun and the other person, his eyes showing confusion, "Who are you?"

When Ji Xun saw this expression, an expected helplessness appeared between his brows.

Oh, I forgot again.

Ji Xun didn't mind at all and signaled the bartender to place three large wooden cups filled with rum in front of him.

He handed Old Man Xu a cup and said, "I am Ji Xun. Have you forgotten me again, Senior?"

When Old Man Xu saw someone delivering wine, the suspicion on his face disappeared and the only thing in his eyes was the wine on the table.

Regardless of whether he recognized him or not, he looked like an old man who would rather take advantage of a good opportunity. He picked up the cup swiftly and gulped down two big gulps.

"What a great wine!" After the wine went down his throat, he let out a sigh of relief with a satisfied look on his face.

Old Man Xu then took another look at Ji Xun and the other man, but still didn't recognize them. However, he did not forget to promote himself: "Are you here to buy intelligence from me? Oh, I think you have found the right person. I am the most experienced guide and intelligence dealer in this camp, and I am definitely worth the money."

As he spoke, he patted his chest.

The drinkers at the bar looked at him with contempt.

This old man exudes unreliability from head to toe, and the word "liar" is almost written on his face.

Ji Xun was neither amused nor helpless when he saw this.

Having seen Old Man Xu’s identity as a “fortune teller” a hundred years ago, he knew that this guy looked unreliable, but in fact he was very reliable.

Today this old senior plays the role of an "intelligence businessman", so just treat him as that.

Ji Xun didn't expect the other party to recognize him immediately.

The most important purpose of coming here is to confirm that this "anchor point" is in the camp.

At least no matter what happens, Old Man Xu will not die.

In Ji Xun's eyes, this anchor point can anchor many things.

The drinker nearby seemed to be put off by Old Man Xu's slovenly appearance and turned away.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi sat at the bar.

Old man Xu seemed to be thirsty and drank the whole cup in two gulps.

Ji Xun didn't mind at all and asked the bartender to bring a few more drinks.

Since he is here, there is no need to rush and we can chat slowly.

Ji Xun asked casually: "Senior, why did you come to the Warcraft Forest?"

Old Man Xu seemed to feel a little embarrassed for drinking alcohol, and responded, "Just to make a living."

"Oh."

Ji Xun listened and took it seriously.

Before, he had no idea what was going on with Old Man Xu.

But now, as his horizons broadened, he gradually discovered that he seemed to understand some things.

Ji Xun is also good at acting, but he knows very well that no matter how perfect his acting is, there will be traces to follow.

But Old Man Xu's acting never gave him this feeling.

This feeling is like that of an actor. No matter how he performs according to the script, there will always be traces of acting.

And Old Man Xu is the character described in the script.

Just like some rules of the universe, no matter what his identity is, he does not look out of place.

Since he was an intelligence dealer, Ji Xun planned to make good use of this condition before he recognized him.

He asked directly: "Senior Xu, I want to know, what are the weaknesses of the [Underworld Peacock]? If we want to deal with it, how can we do it?"

Before the old man had even finished listening, he answered as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, "Hey, little brother, you really know your stuff! Speaking of the [Underworld Peacock], no one knows it better than me. That peacock is a high-level pure-blooded hell creature. It has a beam of annihilation and can break all spells."

"Ah."

Although Ji Xun had heard him and others play it on the street yesterday, he was still listening attentively at this moment, nodding his head in approval from time to time.

Others don't believe it.

He believed it firmly.

Qin Rushi beside him also listened very carefully.

Although she was not familiar with Old Man Xu and felt that everything he said and did was unreliable, she knew he was powerful.

Old Man Xu boasted for a while, then he realized something when he saw the serious expressions of the two men.

He stopped talking abruptly and suddenly asked, "Are you serious?"

I thought it was just curiosity.

It seems that these two people are really planning to attract the attention of [Dark Peacock].

"Ah."

Ji Xun smiled slightly and said, "I know that only you know the accurate information about the peacock, so I'm asking for your advice."

Old Man Xu had an exaggeratedly frightened expression and muttered, "That's an eighth-level monster! Even a large mercenary group may not be able to do anything to it. Why don't you ask for something else?"

Before he could finish, Ji Xun took out a few gold coins and blocked the old man's mouth. "We'll talk about other things later. Let's just think about hearing the information about Dark Peacock."

He didn't know why Old Man Xu was moved by a few gold coins, but he had tried it many times before and it always worked.

When Old Man Xu saw the gold coins, his eyes immediately lit up: "Oh, that's easy."

With the money in hand, the old man stopped being slow in his words and said directly, "The Peacock has no weaknesses. Its annihilation beam is invincible. It can be said that any warlock with shields will be killed if it touches them. The extraordinary armor is just a pile of rubbish in front of it."

Ji Xun frowned as he listened and asked, "Don't you have any weaknesses?"

"This"

Old man Xu really does what he is paid for. He hesitated for a long while, as if he was racking his brains, and then he said, "If you really want to talk about weaknesses, it's that the body is relatively weak. Don't use any spells to deal with it, getting close is the best way. Or you can master some non-elemental laws, such as time, space, fate, poetry, order, famine, war, and maybe you can hurt it. It depends on the means. But I remind you, if you don't understand the laws to the eighth level, don't even touch it."

"."

Ji Xun listened with a serious expression.

If someone else said this, he might feel that there was something fishy about it and it was worth pondering.

But what this person said is definitely true.

These are crucial information that have never been recorded in any books.

He glanced at Qin Rushi from the corner of his eye. Her expression was also very solemn, and she seemed to be weighing whether her strength was enough to qualify her to make a move.

Ji Xun asked carefully again, and this was all Old Man Xu knew about the [Underworld Peacock].

Since he had asked all the questions, he might as well ask about the three eighth-level monsters that had recently appeared: the Phoenix, the Hell Dragon, and the World-Destroying Thunder Ape.

Old Man Xu's words do sound exaggerated, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that they really contain a lot of key information.

However, after listening to it, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi did not feel confident after their doubts were resolved, but became even more solemn.

Each of the eight-level monsters that came out of the dead zone was incredibly powerful.

Drink glass after glass of wine.

Ji Xun asked some questions about the "Dead Zone" in a roundabout way.

However, Old Man Xu didn't reveal any useful information.

Ji Xun also got used to it.

This old man's memory is triggered, and he can't remember anything until something happens.

Suddenly he thought of some problems in cultivation, and asked again: "By the way, senior, I have another question. It is about the perception of the domain. What I mean is, is it possible to make the domain integrate the characteristics of many other domains, the more the better?"

He knew that others might not understand what he said, but this old man would definitely understand.

Old Man Xu smacked his lips and said, "Field? Oh, you think too highly of me. I'm just a small intelligence businessman, how can I understand what field is."

With Qin Rushi's guidance these days, Ji Xun's understanding in the field has improved rapidly.

He can now even use Qin Rushi's unique field of "Gods Descending to Earth".

But this is not his ultimate goal.

The universal realm that I want to integrate is always a little short of what I want.

Ji Xun’s extraordinary path was too complicated and too special, and Qin Rushi didn’t have any good suggestions.

Thinking that I had met Old Man Xu, I just asked casually.

I didn't expect to get an answer.

So when he heard this, Ji Xun did not show disappointment, but smiled and said, "Yeah. Thank you."

He raised his glass to indicate that he wanted to drink.

Another mouthful of wine went down his throat. Old Man Xu seemed to feel that he had drunk too much. He thought about it with a worried look on his face, and seemed to force out an explanation: "The situation you are talking about is too complicated. I remember hearing someone say that the field is not that complicated. It's like painting. You can paint whatever color you can understand. If you have everything, then you have nothing. It's like paint. Red is red, green is green, and yellow is yellow. When all the colors are mixed together, it becomes black."

"!!!"

When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't think much of it at first.

But when I read these words carefully, I felt like I was struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.

If even old man Ang Xu could remember these words, they must have been said by a top card master in history.

Paint, color, mix!
A simple analogy reveals the true meaning of the field!
At this moment, Ji Xun felt as if he had grasped something, and his previously scattered thoughts seemed to have crystallized into a point.

A singularity where all thoughts can attach and condense!
Qin Rushi, who was standing by, noticed Ji Xun's change, and a strange look appeared in her eyes. She glanced at the old man in front of her, and her eyes gradually became deep and profound.

Ji Xun said solemnly: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Old Man Xu looked at him and suddenly became serious, confused: "Ah? What did I say?"

Ji Xun chuckled.

He was also glad that it was a good decision to stay in the camp.

There are definitely not many people in the world who can answer the question just now, and the person in front of you is the most authoritative one.

He pondered for a moment, the vague feeling of grasping it becoming stronger and stronger, but it would take some time to digest it.

Just when Ji Xun wanted to ask a few more questions, the [Ring of the God Thief] on his finger jumped slightly.

He suddenly exclaimed in his heart: "Vampire?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a woman in a priest's robe with her face half covered walking into the tavern.

The woman glanced at the bar and walked straight over.

Wangcai confirmed that this was a vampire and his bloodline was of high quality.

While Ji Xun was amazed at the woman's courage, he also thought that the man was looking for him.

Unexpectedly, the woman came over and greeted Old Man Xu, "Senior."

Although the other person was dressed as an adventurer with a cloak covering his face, Ji Xun recognized the voice immediately when he heard it.

Isn't this the vampire Countess Mist whom I saw at the Parkway Theater in Giant City?

She is here, which means Xie Guozhong is here too?
