Cataclysm King

Chapter 602 [Gorgon Shield]

After all, Sean Cumberland, the Lord of Silver Wind City, was not as troublesome as a pure-blooded dragon. With Ji Xun sticking to him and Qin Rushi and others helping, they worked together to kill him smoothly as planned.

Without the lord and several top commanders, the 100,000 Dragon Eagle Army of Silver Wind City became scattered and was quickly defeated by the rebels' fierce attack.

Silver Wind City is a military fortress. Not only is it garrisoned by the Dragon Eagle Legion, it also produces top-quality armor and weapons.

Qin Rushi led the rebel army to attack Yinfeng City, captured tens of thousands of elite dragon eagles, and looted countless equipment.

This also greatly made up for the biggest shortcoming of the slave-dominated rebel army, which was insufficient equipment, and morale was greatly boosted for a time.

A few days passed by.

This day, in the dungeon.

The dragon lizard clan also began to migrate because of the broken seal of the Flame Demon.

Chief Morey and the elders led Ji Xun to the Obsidian Temple again.

Since the whole tribe is planning to migrate, the prophet no longer needs to guard the underground seal, and of course he has to go with his tribesmen.

The prophet who transformed into a lizard man was a thin old man with wrinkled skin. He didn't look like a great wise man who had lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

No longer having to guard the temple, the wise man fell into a deep sleep.

He was carried by young dragon lizard warriors and left the dungeon for the first time.

Without the prophet, the Dragon Lizard Crypt seemed to have lost its soul all of a sudden.

After the dragon lizards left the cave, Chief Morey led his people to dismantle the magnificent temple underground.

It's not just because the obsidian used to build the temple is priceless, but more importantly, this temple has been the spiritual sustenance and faith of their dragon lizard clan for countless years.

No matter where they migrate in the future, the place where the temple is located will be the tribe’s home.

The temple was originally part of the reinforced seal. Now that it has been demolished, the fire demon underground has become restless.

The entire underground cave was like a volcano that could erupt at any time. The mountains were shaking slightly, and a rich scent of fire element emanated from the cracks in the rocks.

At this moment, besides the dragon lizard members who were still in the temple, there was only Ji Xun.

Next to the ancient seal where the prophet had been sleeping, Ji Xun sat cross-legged in front of the huge [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet], observing and meditating.

He was waiting here, firstly to replace the prophet to suppress the dragon lizards, and secondly to wait to see the fire demon.

Since the prophet has confirmed that the Flame Demon has not condensed the divine nature, Ji Xun is naturally curious and wants to see what old man Xu left behind in this place where the gods fell hundreds of thousands of years ago.

In addition to the "Aegis" recorded on the inscription,
His intuition told him that the old man might have left behind some secrets that could not be recorded.

The dragon lizard clan was very efficient in relocating the temple and dismantled most of it in just one day.

This also caused the seal, which had already been patched up, to show signs of complete collapse.

The surrounding obsidian rock walls are already covered with red cracks that look like blood vessels.

Through the gap, Ji Xun could clearly sense the terrifying power of the law of fire.

This was the highest level of fire elemental law that he had ever seen in the Card Master plane.

This extremely high elemental law manifested as "spell penetration", allowing Ji Xun to feel a slight burning pain even through the protective energy.

But for him, this dangerous environment is actually a good thing.

Ji Xun's recovery of spell power can just make up for this continuous erosion of the law of fire.

If there is no harm, then there is gain.

Just like sitting next to a fire, the "temperature" of the law of the element of fire suddenly becomes concrete.

Insights and enlightenment also flash from time to time.

"You have touched the high-level flame law of 'Flame Lord Ganul', fire element affinity +0.8"

"You are attacked by the wrath of the Fire God, 'Flame Lord Ganul', divine power +0.07"

"You are overwhelmed by the power of the Flame Demon King Ganul, and your understanding of the law of power has improved."

"."

The higher the rank of the card master, the more difficult it is to comprehend the laws of the universe from the outside world.

For Ji Xun, who is now at the ninth level, this is a rare place for cultivation.

It is difficult to find such opportunities for enlightenment elsewhere.

As for the seals around him that could explode at any time, he didn't feel any danger at all.

With Ivan by his side, any changes in space cannot escape his perception.

If you can't beat him, you can run away.

While I was meditating, I suddenly heard footsteps.

Ji Xun opened his eyes and saw that it was the clan leader Morey who walked down.

"Friend Ji Xun, the temple has almost been moved away."

Morey walked and talked.

He looked at Ji Xun with great gratitude in his heart.

It's not just an alliance relationship.

He knew very well that only with this person guarding here could the tribesmen move the temple safely.

Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation and smiled indifferently: "Yeah."

Then he added, "Chief Morey, you should also try to stay away from the dungeons. I feel that the fire demons underground should have discovered that the prophet has left, and are now accumulating strength. The seal may be broken at any time."

Chief Morey nodded and said, "But friend Ji Xun, are you really planning to hunt down that Flame Demon?"

Ji Xun said truthfully: "Hunting is unlikely, but I'm still interested in trying."

Although this fire demon has not condensed the godhood, it has been able to keep the dragon lizard clan helpless for countless years, and he doesn't think he can deal with it.

"Then your Excellency should be careful."

Chief Morey originally wanted to say a few more words.

But when he thought back to the way this guy ambushed and killed Lord Silver Wind in the previous battle, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The methods of the person in front of him were beyond his understanding and could not be compared with those of an ordinary ninth-level person.

As he spoke, Morey took out an ancient ruby ​​ring and said, "This is the inheritance treasure of our dragon lizard clan, the [Fire Avoidance Ring]. Since you are planning to explore the Fire Demon Cave, this ring may be of some help."

"Thank you."

Ji Xun did not refuse and accepted the ring.

The dragon lizard clan has been fighting against the fire demon for so many years, so they must have some means of restraint.

As soon as I got the ring in my hand, I felt that the fire elements around me were isolated.

On the other side, in Silver Wind City.

All the residents of the city moved out. In the empty city, the three little guys were waiting boredly by the battlements of the castle.

It was Isabel, Darcy and David.

Because the castle is located just over ten kilometers above the Dragon Lizard's Cave, it is far enough and safe enough.

They knew that the teachers were going to hunt the Flame Demon, so they were waiting here to watch the battle.

"Stupid Darcy, when do you think the Fire Demon will break the seal?"

"I don't know. But I think it will be within these two days. The people have already evacuated. Even if the seal cannot be broken, the teacher will definitely find a way to lure the Flame Demon out."

"Oh. The teacher's wife said that the fire demon is more powerful than a ninth-level pure-blood dragon. I don't know if the teacher will be in danger."

"."

The three little guys were chatting intermittently.

Just as they were thinking about it, two figures suddenly appeared beside the three of them. They were Gong Wu with a serious expression, and Qin Rushi who was wearing armor and carrying a big sword.

Now that everyone has migrated, Ji Xun's plan is that if they can defeat the Flame Demon, they will surround and kill it.

If you can't win, take the three little guys and evacuate immediately.

As soon as the two appeared, the three little guys seemed to know what was going to happen.

Then, the entire mountain range began to tremble slightly.

Isabel's face was full of excitement: "That guy underground made such an exaggerated movement that it even made the entire mountain range shake."

At first, she was somewhat unwilling when her father arranged for her to be Ji Xun's disciple.

Now the girl likes this kind of exciting life more and more. It seems that by following the teacher, she can always experience some exciting experiences that ordinary people will never encounter in their lifetime.

In just a few months, two ninth-level masters had been killed, and now it was the turn of the mythical Flame Demon.

Darcy was much more calm, his eyes sparkling, as if he had seen something: "It must be that the fire demon is too powerful, the teacher can only draw the fire element out from underground. It may erupt."

Upon hearing this, Gong Wu beside him glanced at him with a hint of surprise and exclaimed: "Not bad, kid."

He had just discovered that it was very rare for a fourth-level card master to be able to make a judgment in advance.

Darcy had already entered a state of absolutely rational deduction. He didn't have time to respond, and only said, "Here it comes!"

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a huge pillar of scorching flames rising into the sky in the distance.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"."

As the fire element gushed out from the ground, the entire Duoken Mountains began to shake violently.

All I could hear was the sound of mountains breaking and rocks splitting, and cracks appeared everywhere on the walls of Silver Wind City.

And the whole field of vision was filled with red.

Large pieces of magma splashed out, exploding into a fire tree in the sky, and dotted the dark mountains with dazzling red spots.

A scorching breath hit me in the face, and the temperature of the air suddenly soared by dozens of degrees.

After a few breaths, I heard the "crackling" sound like heavy rain falling.

Looking up, he saw the red-hot lava rain hitting the Qi shield held up by Gong Wu, isolating it.

Although it did not pose any threat to the few people, the lava raindrops fell into Silver Wind City and burned it to pieces in an instant.

This is not a simple lava ejecta, but an elemental fluid that condenses the high-level fire laws.

Gong Wu casually grabbed one in the air, and watched the "raindrop" condense into an egg-sized [Fire Element Gem] in his hand.

Everyone looked on in amazement.

It's just a miracle.

They already knew that a god-level red dragon had fallen under this crypt in ancient times, but they didn't expect that after being dead for countless years, it still retained such exaggerated extraordinary characteristics.

After the volcano erupts, just picking up the rocks all over the mountain can make you rich enough to rival a country.

At this moment, Isabel's eyes narrowed, and she pointed excitedly at the figure standing in the air in the distance, and shouted softly, "Look, it's the teacher!"

Everyone's eyes turned over instantly and their breathing stopped.

Qin Rushi and Gong Wu both had very serious expressions and had already entered the state of magic release.

Now is the most critical moment. Only after Ji Xun has tested the combat effectiveness of the Flame Demon can he decide whether to stay or leave.

The pillars of fire in the underground cave continued to erupt, and the flowing magma was like a red river flowing along the cliffs into the depths of the abyss.

The crater was like a scarlet eye of hell, and before long, a terrifying aura descended.

A huge creature slowly crawled out from the spurting lava.

The huge shadow gradually emerged.

Its body is so huge that it almost occupies the entire crater.

Two balls of blue ghost fire were jumping in the empty eye sockets on the bull-like head, long horns extended from both sides of the head, and lava was dripping from the horns.

This huge monster was covered in black lava like armor, with black flames faintly visible between the cracks. The temperature visible to the naked eye burned and distorted the void.

It was the [Flame Demon King Ganul].

Ji Xun stood in mid-air, looking at the monster in front of him, with a smile on his face: "Tsk tsk, this fire element is really exaggerated!"

The Balrog is a pure elemental creature, the personification of elemental laws.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the upper limit of the law of fire element could reach such a high level.

Comparing with the data, Ji Xun felt that his fire law was about 1000, which was already the limit of the plane that human card masters could reach.

And the [Flame Lord Ganul] in front of him is at least 3000+, or even higher.

That was the height that Ji Xun was looking up to now. It felt like the highest peak on earth, but it didn’t reach the height of the sky.

This means that the fire of the Fire Demon King can easily burn through everything!
Shields, spells, equipment... everything!
Under the erosion of the law of absolute gap, there is no restraint at all, and fire can burn all other elements.

Including Ji Xun's [True Explanation of All Things].

The fire element he could decompose was the fire that was similar to his own understanding, not the flame of the Fire Demon King.

It is no wonder that over countless years, the dragon lizard clan has suffered heavy casualties in their efforts to repair the seal.

It can be said that no card master below the god level who has not comprehended the "power of rules" can do anything to this fire demon at the elemental level.

Thousands of meters away, even with the protection of the [Fire-avoiding Magic Ring], the repulsive layer of the [Lightless Sun] and the inner energy, Ji Xun could still sense the deadly threat that burned through all his defenses and rapidly scorched his skin.

It was this feeling that made his scalp tingle that made him grin, with an eager thought emerging in his eyes.

Now that I have seen this [Flame Demon King Ganul] with my own eyes, I have also analyzed the basic situation.

The opponent's advantage is obvious. The absolute law of fire will erode anyone who touches it.

The shortcoming is also obvious, which is that the displacement speed is very slow.

As long as you can avoid ranged attacks, there is almost no danger.

When Ji Xun saw this, the JOKER Curse Card in his hand was instantly activated: "Poker Game·Red and Black. I am the Flame Emperor."

As the rules changed, the air around him suddenly twisted, as if his entire body had turned into a ball of fire.

He knew that the only way to save his life was to use the power of rules.

But this Fire Demon King is completely different from the two ninth-level ones encountered before. It is only one step away from condensing the godhood.

It's like a layer of window paper. You can't poke it, or it will break.

Even if Ji Xun could change some rules, they could easily be destroyed by this fire demon.

Forget about restraint.

So Ji Xun simply turned himself into the "Fire Emperor" and enhanced his ability to control fire at the rules level.

Flame against flame, the only effect is getting burned, which is not that painful.

After Ji Xun finished doing all this, he took out a rocket launcher from his storage ring and fired a cannonball at the fire demon.

This kind of damage has absolutely no effect on the Fire Demon, but it is very ironic.

Balrog is a pure elemental creature and does not possess much intelligence.

It looked at itself being provoked by humans, and as it roared, sparks and black smoke flew out of its mouth and nose.

Then a column of fire like dragon's breath spewed out from its mouth.

A "swish" sound.

The speed of the pillar of fire was so fast that it engulfed Ji Xun's afterimage in almost an instant.

It doesn't need to hit the target, as long as it is within a hundred meters of the fire column, it will be burned to ashes in an instant.

Just like the rock under Ji Xun's feet just now, it melted into a river of magma just by the impact of the heat wave from the pillar of fire that burned the space.

A thousand meters away, Ji Xun, who had teleported away with the help of Ivan's ability, was also very grateful, muttering, "It's really exaggerated. The space is burned and distorted."

This lingering feeling of fear made Ji Xun feel happy instead of fearful, and his blood began to boil.

It can be said that if Ivan had not helped him with the spatial teleportation, he would have been reduced to ashes on the spot relying on his own spatial ability.

Facing this [Flame Demon King Ganur], even the ninth level one would just spit and not say a word.

Fortunately, there is Ivan and Ji Xun can predict with 100% accuracy, so there is a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, he took out a rocket launcher and fired it.

The fire demon was enraged and chased after him slowly, spewing pillars of fire at random.

On the other side, more than ten kilometers away in Yinfeng City, Qin Rushi and his companions saw the fire demon coming out of the crater and were already sweating coldly.

Even from such a distance, the terrifying fire element made them feel as if they were being roasted on fire.

In the field of vision, wherever the fire demon passed, the rocks melted rapidly like mud.

Moreover, seeing the speed at which the fire demon was spitting fire, even a martial saint like Gong Wu, whose physical body had reacted to the extreme, couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

If it was him, he would have been turned into ashes by the spray.

The three little guys swallowed their saliva and were already stunned.

Isabel herself was a descendant of the red dragon, and she was extremely sensitive to the element of fire. The terrifying appearance of the Fire Demon was reflected in her trembling crystal eyes, and she stuttered as she spoke: "The level of the law of the Fire Demon is probably higher than that of a ninth-level pure-blooded red dragon."

Darcy also said with a serious expression: "Yeah."

After a pause, Isabel asked again in confusion: "But why didn't the teacher use water-based methods to restrain it? Instead, he used a fire rule?"

Her current cognition was not enough to understand what she saw.

Darcy understood a little bit more and said, "Because the restraint at that level is no longer effective. The moment the Flame Demon appeared just now, the heat radiation easily burned through the teacher's body protection. The difference in the law level is at least three times. In this case, elemental restraint is meaningless."

"Oh."

Isabel also acknowledged this, her face so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe.

David beside him seemed to understand, and asked again: "What is thermal radiation?"

Darcy responded: "It's a scientific term. It's basically 'element conduction'."

David: “Oh.”

The three of them stayed here to see the world.

But Qin Rushi and Gong Wu are not like that.

Seeing Ji Xun taunting the fire demon several times to leave the crater in the distance, Gong Wu said solemnly, "It looks like Ji Xun is planning to lead it to a place far away from its nest and is ready to execute the original plan."

"Ah."

Qin Rushi also nodded.

It was written on the stone tablet that there was a "divine shield" deep in the dungeon, and it could be obtained as long as the fire demon was lured away.

Of course they're going to try.

If Ji Xun could lead the fire demon away, he would have completed the most important and dangerous step.

However, seeing the strength of this fire demon now, one can tell with one's toes that this behavior is extremely dangerous, and any accident could almost result in death.

Moreover, the situation deep in the lava is unclear, and even two eighth-level warriors have no confidence.

But now the opportunity is right in front of us, and no one can guarantee that Ji Xun can definitely hold back the hatred of the Flame Demon, so the opportunity must not be missed.

Gong Wu did not back down and said bluntly: "My Qi is quite effective in resisting the fire element. I will go there."

Qin Rushi shook his head and interrupted, "I'd better let me go. The underground cave is complicated, and the abilities of the immortals are more suitable for exploration. Senior Gong has a greater speed advantage, so it's better to search for him outside."

Gong Wu listened and thought for a moment, but said nothing more: "Okay!"

This plan is inherently extremely risky, and no one can guarantee that they will survive.

As soon as the voice fell, three balls of ghost fire appeared around Qin Rushi: "Immortal Technique: Green Lantern Divine Fire!"

Although her rank has not yet reached the ninth level, she has already touched upon something at a higher level through communication with Ji Xun in the past few days.

Moreover, the God Thief Bai family is a family inherited from the Taren Empire, and they worship many immortals.

These three groups of ghost fire fairies are the perfect protective fire spirits.

As soon as the words fell, the figure disappeared from sight.

Gong Wu looked at Darcy and the other two and said, "Be careful. It's wrong to underestimate them. Use the teleportation array to escape immediately."

Darcy and the other two responded in unison, and in the blink of an eye the person had disappeared.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"."

On the other side, a brilliant light like fireworks exploded from the dark crack.

Ji Xun continued to taunt the Fire Demon and pulled it out of its lair.

It seems to be just dodging and taunting, but the process is actually full of dangers.

Perhaps he possessed some fragments of the consciousness of the ancient gods, [Flame Lord Ganul] was like a mobile forbidden spell jet, and he would wash the ground with all kinds of forbidden fire spells when he attacked.

Those forbidden spells that Ji Xun had only seen in classics, and even the lost ancient fire magic, were released by this monster with just a wave of his hand.

Large areas of the surrounding mountains melted under the influence of the forbidden spell, and magma flowed along the cliffs to form a large and spectacular group of flaming waterfalls.

Ji Xun also thought about whether he could lure this monster into the endless abyss, but the facts proved that although the fire demon was not very intelligent, its instincts were still very strong.

Apart from the fact that he looked a bit dull due to being lured, his attack instincts were also top-notch.

Ji Xun held out for more than half an hour under this extremely high-pressure threat of death.

He knew that Qin Rushi had already gone into the dungeon.

The longer he could hold on, the greater the possibility that Qin Rushi would find the shield.

Time passed little by little. For Ji Xun, every second was like walking on the edge of a knife. The slightest carelessness would result in death on the spot.

The extreme law of fire distorted the space, causing not only perception but even the signal from the communicator to become intermittent.

Qin Rushi had been in the cave for a long time, and Ji Xun didn't know what was going on down there.

The only thing we know is that the person is still alive.

The turning point came very suddenly. Suddenly, a discontinuous response came from the communicator: "Ji Zhao. Arrived!"

Ji Xun was happy.

However, before he could be happy for long, [Flame Lord Ganur] suddenly turned around and ran towards the nest!

The Fire Demon realizes that the treasure has been stolen and is about to return to his nest!

However, Ji Xun and his companions had already anticipated this scene.

Gong Wu, who had been at the designated location in the distance, jumped up immediately and acted as the second bait. At the same time, he activated the preset trap, and a large number of elemental interference restrictions were opened.

This kind of restriction can interfere with the perception ability of elemental creatures. Ji Xun didn’t use it before, and was waiting for the current unexpected situation!

The effect seems to be quite good.

As soon as the fire demon turned around, it seemed that its perception was disturbed, and it stood there in a daze for a moment.

However, before Ji Xun could breathe a sigh of relief, he sensed the emotion of "anger" in the Flame Demon.

The pressure that was more terrifying than that of a ninth-order dragon swept over, and Ji Xun's face changed drastically: "It's violent!"

I don’t know if Qin Rushi heard it on the communicator.

But when Ji Xun looked at it, he saw that the fire demon's speed had increased several times and it was running wildly towards the nest.

Ji Xun instantly deduced in his mind that Qin Rushi had no time to escape.

What's worse is that the fire demon seemed to know that the human who stole the house was about to escape, and he opened his mouth and spewed out a column of fire that was several times more terrifying than before!

Ji Xun sensed the spatial coordinates of Qin Rushi. If she rushed out at this moment, she would hit the pillar of fire!

"not good!"

Ji Xun shouted in his heart, without any hesitation, he teleported to appear next to Qin Rushi in the dungeon.

He knew very well the horror of the fire; anyone who was touched by it would surely die.

Only if I teleport there, maybe I can have a chance to take her away!

The scene around him changed. Ji Xun took a step forward and saw Qin Rushi beside him.

Qin Rushi also saw him!

The two looked at each other without any communication at all, and their faces changed drastically at the same time.

Because the deadly flames were already erupting in front of the two of them.

The indescribable law of horror devoured the lives of the two people like lightning.

Almost at the moment before turning into ashes, Ji Xun instantly used the teleportation spell engraved on the Curse God Card in his hand, but even so, he still felt that there was a high probability that he would be seriously injured.

At this moment, Qin Rushi had already raised the silver shield in his hand.

Ji Xun glanced at it with a sharp gaze, and saw the brilliant divine light shining on the shield. The fatal sense of crisis between life and death in his heart was suddenly swept away.

[Gorgon Shield]

Detailed explanation: An ancient artifact, a shield inlaid with the head of a gorgon; absolute defense; 100% magic reflection; immune to curses; only heroes with courage, light and wisdom can gain the recognition of the shield;
