MTL - Cataclysm King

Chapter 278: Physical communication with gods

Ji Xun killed his senior shadow without any danger.

 At the same time, I also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also thankful that he had been well prepared and his physical attributes had improved a lot in just a few days, otherwise he would have really overturned.

 The harvest was also a surprise that exceeded expectations.

  Not only got a secret method exclusive to JOKER.

 After killing the shadow of fear in his heart, he suddenly felt refreshed.

 As Gong Wu said before, once you kill the demon in your heart, you seem to have nothing to fear.

  This is an indescribable pleasure.

The feeling of pleasure in my head at this moment is even stronger than any time I indulged in negative emotions before.

Ji Xun's eyes were full of energy, and he felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart: "Low-level pleasure is indulgence, and high-level pleasure is restraint. So that's what the old man said."

 Previously he asked Gong Wu, wouldn't it be boring to practice hard for decades?

 The old man said this at that time.

 I didn’t understand it before.

Now I have a vague understanding of it.

  Being able to truly control your own humanity is a wonderful experience of taking control of the world.

 There is no fear or timidity.

 Be upright and strong-minded.

 It was as if the sun shone through the damp, dark ditch, and my heart became brighter.

 And when he came back to his senses, Ji Xun also discovered that his proficiency in various martial arts had skyrocketed.

 “Master-level Basic Fighting”, “Full-level Erjibeng”, “Master-level Basic Qigong”.

 Fighting against one’s own shadow is like wiping the dirt on one’s face in front of a mirror.

 The flaws and impurities in martial arts have been filtered out.

 Proficiency has skyrocketed.

 Huge harvest!

Just as he was thinking about it, Nan Jing also jumped down from the steel beam.

She also showed surprise when she saw the exclusive secret method revealed, but more of it was recognition of Ji Xun's combat prowess: "Wow Ji Xun, you have become so powerful now!"

 Fight with your own shadow and use all means to suppress the situation.

This Miss Meathead is probably the only one who has seen all of Ji Xun's trump cards.

 Watching the entire battle before, I didn’t even dare to breathe.

Now that she came back to her senses, she realized that Ji Xun was so ridiculously powerful.

Ji Xun smiled as he listened, but he didn't think he was powerful in front of this ball head. Instead, he asked curiously: "Xiaonan, do you know how many secrets are recorded in this 'Shenxu Treasure House'?"

"I don't know either."

Nan Jing shook his head and said: "As far as I know, this treasure house is an inherited artifact of the Talon Dynasty, which collects all kinds of classics in the world. However, in the battle in Xinhuo City three thousand years ago, many strong men fell and the treasure house was seriously damaged. Most of its functions have been lost, and it is estimated that many secret techniques have been lost."

 “That’s it”

Ji Xun was stunned when he heard this, and also felt a little regretful.

If the classics in this treasure house are completely preserved, it will be a huge benefit to the entire card master civilization.

As Nan Jing spoke, he thought of something again and said: "And the cost of opening this treasure house is also very high. It can be opened this time because of some things left by our ancestors three thousand years ago. Now that the energy has been exhausted, I want to open it next time , I don’t know when it will be.”

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded as he listened.

　　It also makes sense.

 Such a big movement must come at a high price.

I don’t know what happened to the people who arranged the layout now.

Ji Xun completed the shadow trial and wandered around the ruins with Nan Jing for most of the day.

Miss Wanzitou has received some inheritance from their Nan family, and she came to this treasure house to find something she needs.

Not long after, seeing that the time was almost up, the two people left the secret realm through the light door.

 When I don’t want to leave, there is still a final settlement just like passing through an extra-dimensional space.

“You have won the titles of ‘Secret Realm Guardian’ and ‘High Difficulty Challenger’ in this trial, and received the blessings from the Shenxu Treasure House, ‘Permanent Comprehension +1’ and ‘Permanent Luck +1’”

 Looking at Qidi, Ji Xun also felt that it was another big surprise.

 Permanent luck and understanding, these are things that can be encountered but not sought.

 When the two came out, Downing Street was already very busy.

 The tavern was filled with people who had made it out alive.

Ji Xun planned to go to Master Meilin.

He wanted to ask about some matters about advancing to the fourth level, as well as the problem of the blood plague on his body.

Nan Jing also wants to go and visit with him.

However, before the two of them walked out of Downing Street, they suddenly saw a man in a cloak at the window of a small building.

The man did not lower his gaze.

Ji Xun saw it and alertly guessed who it was.

　　However, the girl next to her called out in surprise: "Hey, mother?"

Ji Xun also knew who the visitor was.

The two went upstairs, and an elegant and beautiful woman was already sitting at the table, pouring a pot of steaming tea.

 Looking at the two men coming, she also took out a cup and poured two cups of hot tea.

Nan Jing looked very excited. He hadn't seen his mother for a long time. When he met, he was chattering for a while, but he didn't forget to turn around and introduce again: "Mother, this is Mr. Ji Xun, who I told you, who saved me."

She introduced Ji Xun again: "Mr. Ji Xun, this is my mother."

Ji Xun nodded and called out respectfully: "Aunt Nan."

 Of course he knows it.

 After all, I have seen it before and saved myself.

 But seeing this person appear here, a dark color flashed across his eyes, and he vaguely guessed something.

Nan Suchhang looked at Ji Xun, with a loving smile on his face as he looked at his precious daughter, and nodded in response: "Yes."

As he spoke, he pointed to the tea on the table and said, "Don't be so polite. Sit down."

After all, Ji Xun was not restrained and sat on the chair.

Nanjing asked happily: "Mother, why are you here?"

Nan Suchhang always had a gentle smile on his face: "Come and see you, girl."

Nan Jing blinked: "Ah, mother, you miss me? Hee hee, I miss you too."

Before waiting for what the ball-headed lady was going to say, Nan Sushang looked at her with a smile, then glanced at Ji Xun: "Yeah. Your friend is very good."

 From this tone, he didn’t intend to say that he had seen that thing before.

Hearing his mother's approval, Nan Jing introduced him happily: "Yes! Yes! Mr. Ji Xun saved me and helped me a lot. He is really powerful."

 Haven’t seen each other for a long time. It seems that I have too much to say.

With a smile on his lips, Nan Shang listened silently, his eyes full of doting love.

 She listened to her daughter's mouth full of praise for her friend, and the curved corners of her eyebrows were also happy for her.

After listening to what Nan Jing said, Nan Sushang joked, "Okay. I'm not afraid of people laughing either."

Nan Jing blinked, not realizing there was anything wrong with what he said.

Nan Sushang shook his head, then looked at Ji Xun in a blink of an eye and said: "This girl is simple by nature, but sometimes she is always a little stupid and abrupt. I will trouble you to take care of her more in the future."

Hearing this, Nanjing immediately muttered: "How can I have~"

Ji Xun, who was standing by, was slightly startled, as if he realized the deeper meaning of these words, and nodded: "Yes."

Miss Marukotou's strength has become very strong, but her perception in some aspects is still very slow. She did not realize why she met her mother here.

Ji Xun, however, had some guesses.

This incident involves too much.

 To bring together all the major forces in the federation, there will be more than just thirteen knights behind the layout.

 The Shenxu Treasure House itself was originally a royal relic of the Tarun Dynasty.

Moreover, the people of the Oran Royal Court have been repeatedly blocked in the secret realm, and there must be insiders involved behind the scenes.

And this insider is very powerful, has far-reaching plans, and knows some top secrets of the Oran royal family that others don't know.

The person who meets this condition is probably the high priest of Oran in front of him.

　　When Queen Oran of the Lion City was killed before, Ji Xun had already figured out some of her stance.

Although Ji Xun didn't understand why she did what she did, and he didn't understand the conflicts within the Oran Royal Court, he could feel it.

The phrase "take more care of" actually explains a lot of problems.

 The atmosphere of chatting was very warm.

 The conversation was about trivial matters at home.

 As Nan Sushang said, she just came to see this girl.

Nanjing met her mother, and Ji Xun also knew that the mother and daughter had a lot to say, and probably had things to explain.

 After drinking a pot of tea in the small building, he politely said goodbye and left.

 Not long after, Ji Xun rode a steam locomotive to Gro Street in Nancheng District.

 The Hunter Guild is empty today. Ji Xun jumped down the pipe and waited at the mouth of the huge drainage pipe very familiarly.

Not long after, a naive chinchilla came out holding a lantern.

Ji Xun stood up from his meditation and said, "Mr. Totoro, is Master Merlin in the laboratory?"

 After it was cooked, Totoro was no longer so raw and replied: "Yes. Come with me."

Ji Xun nodded with a smile and took out a piece of dried fish, "Thank you."

“Human, do you want to bribe this cat?”

Totoro sounded like he wanted to refuse, but his body was honest, and his chubby claws had already grasped the dried fish.

Ji Xun smiled and said, "This is a gift to thank Mr. Totoro for helping me lead the way several times."

Although he has seen it three times, he is still curious about why this chinchilla has such high intelligence.

 In other words, Master Merlin’s spiritual pets are very special.

 Not long after, Ji Xun walked underground.

 He is no stranger to this large-scale laboratory.

 But this time when Ji Xun walked in, he saw at first sight a very exaggerated instrument in the laboratory.

 It was a glass tank filled with green water, and there was a person wrapped in a bandage soaked in it.

Ji Xun is very familiar with it, because the bandage is the [Shroud of Light and Darkness] that wrapped the body of the Weeping Angel before.

 This relic can prevent divinity from leaking out.

 It’s not surprising that there are a lot of human samples in Merlin’s laboratory.

The reason he took a second look was that, in addition to the bandage, there were also sealing incantations densely drawn on the glass dish.

Ji Xun took one look and felt that these mantras were a bit familiar.

 Some of them were seen in the mithril mine a hundred years ago, and some were seen in the classics.

  The effects of the mantras are generally “preventing the spread of pollution” and “restricting the spillover of energy”.

 With such a large formation, it seems that what is soaking in the tank is not a human being, but a super-level monster.

what's the situation?

Before he could get too curious, the warning voice of Master Merlin who was in the isolation warehouse came out, saying: "Be careful, kid. Don't get too close to avoid being contaminated."

Ji Xun looked around and found that the old man was dissecting a vampire with a green face and fangs?

 It was only then that he realized what pollution Merlin was talking about.

However, I have been polluted, so there seems to be nothing to be afraid of.

He had a slightly weird expression and responded: "Well, Master Merlin, I just have something to ask you."

Merlin didn't even look back and said, "Are you going to advance to the fourth level? Haha, it seems that you have gained a lot in the secret realm this time."

 There is no surprise in the tone.

From the moment he walked in, he could sense that Ji Xun was full of rank.

"yes."

Ji Xun responded, "However, there is one more thing."

 This is indeed one of the purposes for which he came.

He added: "I am infected with the [Blood Plague]. I want to see if you have any good suggestions."

"What?"

Master Merlin thought he heard wrongly.

 Just then he turned back and glanced at Ji Xun outside through the isolation glass.

Ji Xun repeated it and said: "What I mean is that I am infected with the [Blood Plague] and I want you to see if there is anything wrong with it."

　　Merlin frowned as he heard this, and suddenly felt bad: "Has your kid turned into a vampire?"

"no."

Ji Xun knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I am not contaminated by faith, just my body. And I haven't turned into a vampire. It seems that the plague conflicts with certain bloodlines in my body. Anyway, the situation is a bit complicated."

 He himself didn’t know how to say it, so he wanted to ask this professional.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Merlin teleporting in front of his eyes, as if he had suddenly appeared.

His sharp eyes carefully observed Ji Xun's physical features, and said to himself: "The pupils have changed, are they really contaminated? It's strange, the degree of pollution is still very high, and you haven't turned into a vampire?"

Seeing this, the top federal scientist also became very interested: "Tsk tsk, that's interesting. What's going on with your kid?"

Ji Xun's tone was also quite helpless, and he explained from the beginning: "This matter has to start from a special experience of mine. I found a seal of the ancestors of the Bai family, and then"

I have indeed seen him in Hong Tower before, but before I could ask, something happened about the Shenxu Treasure House.

　　Until now it was empty and he had told everything.

for a long time.

Ji Xun finished telling the whole story.

Merlin looked at him with an increasingly weird expression: "Are you the person the young lady is looking for?"

"Um."

Ji Xun also knows now.

Meilin was one of those talented civilian card masters that Song Yu followed his advice to support.

"Why"

Merlin sighed after hearing this.

 The death of an old friend evokes so many emotions.

But he didn’t say anything at the moment and got down to business: “So, apart from the [God-Stealing Ring], the werewolf blood and dragon blood in your body are the most important factors that prevent you from becoming a vampire?”

Ji Xun nodded, but he was not sure: "Probably."

Upon hearing this, Merlin's eyes flashed.

 The old man seemed to have seen a research target that interested him more than the vampire corpse on the autopsy table.

He said to himself: "A living sample! Hahaha, you really gave me a big surprise!"

ˆ “.”

Hearing this tone, Ji Xun glanced at the chopped vampire corpse on the autopsy table from the corner of his eye, and the corner of his eye twitched.

They were all acquaintances, so Merlin was not polite and said directly: "Here, take a tube of blood first, and I'll take a sample."

Ji Xun also did the same.

 While drawing blood, he asked again: "By the way, Master Merlin, where is Senior Gong?"

Merlin responded casually: "He's going to the Old Continent. He got a very suitable seventh-level professional card template, so those guys made appointments with a few legends and planned to go to the Old Continent to find some materials. Soon, the Federation will There will also be real seventh-level card masters.”

Ji Xun: "Oh."

 After the blood was drawn, Ji Xun stayed in the laboratory.

  Don't be in a hurry to advance, let's first figure out the situation of the blood plague.

He first had all kinds of tubes inserted all over his body, and then used many instruments to test various body functions.

Master Merlin is very interested in this "sample".

 In this way, the study lasted three days and three nights.

 As expected, Master Merlin is not only proficient in card making, he is also the best biological scientist in the Federation.

 Other card makers really wouldn’t be able to answer Ji Xun’s question.

 It also cannot solve the problem of "blood plague" and "advancement" coexisting and possibly conflicting.

 But this person gave an unexpected answer.

 This day.

 In the laboratory.

Merlin looked at the **** fragment that Ji Xun took out and was very surprised: "Where did you get this [Calamity Golem] career card? As far as I know, this is the secret career sequence of the Oran royal family. . Not only has it never appeared on the market, not even the Hunters Union and the Federal Card Masters Association have any records.”

Olan Queen’s fusion professional card is of course top quality.

 This is also one of the most important reasons why Ji Xun chose this professional card.

But after hearing this, he was very worried that this card did not suit him, and asked: "Master Merlin, this professional card is not suitable for me?"

Melin shook his head: "No! It's more than just a compatibility? This is simply one of the best options in your current tainted state."

 He asked again: “Do you know what a ‘golem’ is?”

Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief and looked attentive: "Senior, please give me some advice."

Merlin said: "You must have seen the "Four-Eyed Monk" Jialan in the secret realm before. Are you wondering about his four eyes and four hands? "

Ji Xun nodded: "Yes!"

Merlin added: "Not only the arms and eyes, but also various organs and limbs, as well as your werewolf form, are actually all based on the same principle. That is human body alienation. It's just different degrees. Have you noticed that many demons are all kinds of strange things? What does it look like? Multiple heads, multiple arms, and all kinds of strange and weird hybrid monster body shapes are very common. They are even indescribable."

 “Hey, it’s true!”

Ji Xun's expression brightened at this reminder: "Is this the so-called 'golem'?"

 “Yes, the statue of the devil!”

Merlin affirmed: "After the fusion of the card master, the body is like a demon, with all kinds of strange transformations. Therefore, this type of professional card is called 'golem card'. Nowadays, there are very few handed down. But in ancient times, or someone In some ancient civilizations, this is a very common and powerful career choice in high-level sequences."

"oh?"

Ji Xun listened with a knowledgeable expression and asked: "Is there anything special about this kind of professional card?"

Merlin listened and pondered for a moment, then uttered a few words: "It is said that the body can communicate with the gods!"

The number of words in the transitional chapter is a bit less; the author, who is a weakling, got sick a few days ago and his head has been hurting, and he feels that his ideas are not very clear.
