MTL - Cataclysm King

Chapter 295: Catastrophic Object·Hero’s Cloak

 “Bang!”

 “Bang!”

 “Bang!”

ˆ “.”

As soon as the rebels and the group rushed into the mine, the bomb Ji Xun dropped at the entrance detonated instantly, demolishing a large piece of rock.

However, this kind of terrain obstacle can only block the pursuing troops for a moment.

 For high-level card masters who can crack mountains and rocks, gravel is no different from rotten wood.

as expected.

Just a few moments after a group of rebels rushed into the mine, the collapsed area behind them was immediately blasted open by a punch.

 If there is no other way out, this mine must be their burial place.

If the leader of the thieves, Badis, is really allowed to escape, no matter how many rebels are killed in this encirclement and suppression operation, most of the achievements will be lost.

He had seen a record when he was looking through the chronicles of Warren City State before: "On March 16, 2999 in the Talon calendar, there was a water seepage accident in the Grif green copper mining area, and more than two hundred miners died."

 Although he doesn’t know where he will go, the military doesn’t know either.

Ji Xun was riding a steam motorcycle on the decaying minecart rails.

 That accident was when an underground river was dug during mining, which caused a big accident.

 The scale of the Greif green copper mining area is not small.

 They all also understood what Ji Xun was referring to.

If there really is an underground river, then it is really possible for them to escape along the underground waterway.

Moreover, there are no large troops to encircle and suppress the enemy. The more complex the terrain, the individual soldier's combat effectiveness can be brought into full play.

 He was followed by a dozen surviving rebels.

Although the mine can prevent large military forces from encircling and suppressing them, it also means that they are trapped here.

But now, seeing the rebels rushing into the abandoned mine that they didn't know, they immediately realized that if they didn't take action, big problems would inevitably occur.

 The mine goes thousands of meters deep into the ground, and the mining area is conservatively estimated to be hundreds of square kilometers.

 So, even if Ji Xun comes here, he doesn't think he will definitely survive.

 But worry immediately appeared on everyone’s faces.

 This is not the result they want to see.

  But if others survive.

 They also have a little bit of initiative.

  But the record did not say the exact location where the accident occurred.

As soon as these words came out, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in everyone's desperate expressions.

 Just feel like there is a glimmer of hope.

 “If you find it, you may be saved!”

 In such a large mining area, it is difficult to find the area where the accident occurred in a short time.

There are paved flat rails in the mine tunnel, which also allows steam locomotives to pass smoothly.

The cramped mine made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

 So much so that the leaders of the three fifth-level captains of ten thousand men pursued him even though they knew about the danger.

 It was an unexpected surprise to be able to find this mine to take a breather.

 This has a higher chance of survival than a frontal breakthrough.

Ji Xun did not write any ink and shouted loudly: "There is an underground river under this mine. But I don't know which area it is in!"

While galloping, Badis glanced at Ji Xun, who was leading the team.

But now was not the time to be polite. He asked urgently: "Brother Chaoyang, where are we going now?"

 One is the only one who can survive.

 “Underground river?”

 There is a faint smell of moisture in the air.

It was a plain before. No matter what, the prey could not escape from the encirclement. The military could wait for Badis and several high-level rebels to run out of energy before surrounding them and killing them.

The military's high-level card masters are following closely.

It is not a pity to die by oneself.

 In the dark mine tunnel, the walls are glowing with a dark green metallic sheen.

 This mining area is very large.

But the fact is that the pursuers behind them will not allow them to find the underground river so smoothly.

 In the blink of an eye, the collapsed mine behind him was once again blasted open by a wave of terrifying elemental air.

Three fifth-level ten thousand captains wearing standard military uniforms, and a group of senior officers, have appeared a hundred or ten meters away with murderous intent.

 This distance is just a sprint distance for high-level card masters.

 Life or death may be in this blink of an eye.

 At this time, the mine also came to a fork in the road.

A fierce look flashed in Badis's eyes, and he made an immediate decision: "Everyone separate and leave! I'll stop them!"

 In this current situation, if they continue to gather together, there will be no chance except being wiped out by the military.

He also knew very well that only he, the fifth level, could stop the three captains of ten thousand.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange evil aura evaporated from Badis' body. It seemed that he had used some desperate secret method.

 He jumped off the motorcycle, a strange ripple that shook the void lingered on his two swords.

The expressions of the three captains suddenly became solemn when they saw it, and they did not dare to be careless at all.

Before anyone could react, Badis had already rushed over.

 In the narrow mine, a fierce battle has broken out.

 “Boom!”

 “Boom!”

ˆ “.”

A few muffled sounds and the ground shook.

Batis' figure was submerged in the dust.

At this time, Qidi also appeared: "Main plot change: Your actions have changed the military's round-up plan. The breakout team has been forced into a desperate situation. You need to survive the round-up."

Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.

 Finally, I don’t have to fight with this group of people.

 In this situation, if you continue to stay with Badis, you will definitely die.

Space will still has a glimmer of hope.

　　Bartis took his life and created a moment of escape for everyone. Although the others were grieved, they did not dare to stop.

In just a few breaths, they had reached the depths of the mine.

There are forks everywhere here, and the passages are becoming more and more complicated.

Ji Xun didn’t know what was going on in the mine.

 The only way to survive now is to gamble on luck.

 “Someone is chasing us! There’s a fifth level!”

"Let's go separately! Brothers, take care. Whether you can survive or not depends on your fate!"

ˆ “.”

 There are quite a few people coming from the military, and Badis can block a few of them.

 But it couldn’t stop dozens of them.

Except for the leader Badis, almost everyone who survived in the rebel army is a wanted criminal with a high bounty on his head.

Looking at these "war exploits", the military will never let them escape.

The rebels also knew that if they continued to gather together, they would be destroyed.

Efforts are scattered, and with the help of underground caves and mines extending in all directions, there may be a glimmer of hope.

 At this juncture, Ji Xun was no longer secretive.

As soon as he said that, he scattered and fled, and then he grabbed the "Gron" who was obviously about to fall behind and rushed into a dark mine.

 The others also dispersed, and only Alice followed closely.

 The mines are getting narrower and narrower, and many collapsed areas are no longer suitable for cycling.

Ji Xun decisively abandoned the car.

 Alice's ghost carriage also disappeared immediately.

 She cast a spell at the same time, and thick smoke filled the air behind her.

Probably because none of the three were wanted criminals, the military personnel immediately went after the rebel cadres who were on the list.

The three of them ran for a while, but no more pursuers were heard behind them.

At this moment, even Ji Xun breathed out a breath of relief.

 It’s safe for now.

The biggest worry about this plan is that the military will use absolute force to kill them on sight.

 The current situation is actually the most ideal one.

 Alice's face, which had been tense throughout the whole process, was obviously relieved a lot.

Looking back on the thrilling escape just now, she felt like she was in a dream.

Survived?

 Although it was only temporary, Alice also found it unbelievable.

 It seems like I haven’t done anything.

 Being taken along all the way, I arrived here as if I was sleepwalking.

The three of them were running quickly underground in the mine. She finally couldn't help but asked Ji Xun about her doubts: "Mr. Ji Xun, how did you know there was a mine here?"

Ji Xun responded casually: "I saw it while browsing the classics in the Governor's Mansion."

"ah?"

 Alice looked startled when she heard this.

Even though she had guessed it, she still found it incredible to hear that it was actually the case.

 She recalled the previous scene of Ji Xun reading a book alone in the consul's residence.

However, with so much information in the study, is this guy really so lucky that he happened to find clues to the "Gref Green Copper Mining Area"?

 Alice is not stupid.

 The only possibility she could think of was that Ji Xun didn't turn it over by chance.

Rather, he may have written down all the materials he read.

 Only then can we find a chance to survive in a critical moment from countless information.

But the key point is that this seems to be an extra-dimensional space where combat is the main theme. Who in the right mind would waste their precious time reading countless ancient classics that may be completely useless?

 This guy just did it.

Alice pursed her lips as she thought of this.

While I admired him, I also reconciled with myself.

 It’s not that I’m not smart enough.

 But this method cannot be learned by others.

If you are not a card master in the Wisdom Sequence, you will not have such terrifying reading and memory abilities.

 After all, Aragorn commented that this was an extremely keen and wise man.

 From the time she entered the space to now, Alice has observed this all the way.

 She blinked and asked, "Are you a [Polymath]?"

　　It seems that I am about to die, so I don’t have so many taboos to ask questions.

"no."

Ji Xun knew what she was wondering about.

 I didn’t want to explain much.

 After all, you’ll find out in a moment.

 He was thinking about other problems.

Having enough experience, he did not think that an "S-level mission" would give them a chance to pass the level by chance.

He speculated that even if they could find the underground river, something unexpected would happen, which would suddenly increase the difficulty of the plot.

 If you are not prepared, you don’t know how you will die.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Did you pay attention to the abilities of the three fifth-level ten thousand captains just now? How long can you last against any of them?"

 “Huh? Fifth level?”

 Alice looked at him and did not respond directly, nor did he ask any further questions.

 In her opinion, she might have been a little rude.

However, Ji Xun did not expect that Ji Xun would ask such an unexpected question.

After thinking about it for a moment, she responded rigorously: "About a quarter of an hour."

"Um"

Hearing this, Ji Xun also made some calculations in his mind.

 He asked again: "What if it is the [Element Controller]?"

Alice was also surprised for a moment why he asked this and asked so accurately.

She pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Well, I shouldn't die within two quarters of an hour. After all, my witch profession has certain restraints on the elements."

  “Yeah.”    Listening to this, Ji Xun nodded in approval.

Under normal circumstances, there is a big gap between level 4 and level 5, unless he is a card master with superior strength at the same level like himself.

 Otherwise, let alone holding it back, it will be considered powerful if it can receive a few attacks.

 Alice said that being able to hold it off for two quarters of an hour was much better than expected.

 This also increases the probability of both people surviving.

 He did not ask this question casually.

  Ji Xun’s previous escape was not just about escaping.

He also carefully observed the methods and combat capabilities of almost every high-level military card master he could see in his field of vision.

The three captains of ten thousand men just now are of course the focus of attention.

 Judging from the results of previous observations, the career sequences of the three captains are [Ace of Spades - Black Knight], [8 of Clubs - Elemental Controller] and [6 of Hearts - Punishment Iron Guard].

 According to Ji Xun's speculation, at least two of the three people must be left to be sure to capture Badis.

 And Badis is a gladiator in the [A of Diamonds-Samurai] sequence.

 In this environment, if you want to entangle him, melee card masters are the best.

 So the high probability is [Black Knight] and [Punishment Iron Guard].

 Once again, if we really want to be caught up, the [Element Controller] has the highest probability.

As soon as Alice responded, she immediately understood why he asked this.

 She couldn't believe it: "Are you planning to fight head-on?"

 “It’s not my intention”

Ji Xun shook his head and said calmly: "It's that the difficulty of S-level missions is very high. It's impossible for us to escape alive like this."

　　　　???”

Alice blinked, not quite understanding the determination in his tone.

  But the thought is correct.

Although the breakout just now was dangerous, most of the pressure was shared by the characters in the plot.

 For these two adventurers, it can be considered an A-level difficulty at best.

If she really escaped like this, Alice would also feel that it was not difficult enough.

 I didn’t have time to think about it carefully before, and I didn’t realize what the problem was.

Now being reminded of this, she nodded unconsciously and acknowledged: "Yes, that's right."

But after thinking for a moment, Alice's mind felt like a lightning strike, and she suddenly realized something was wrong, and asked: "Have you ever experienced an S-level extradimensional space before?"

Ji Xun was still thinking about his next plan, so he responded casually: "Yeah."

ˆ “.”

Hearing this, Alice’s eyes twitched inexplicably.

 No wonder I always felt that something was wrong with this guy being so calm.

 No wonder the tone is so determined.

 The result is really wrong!

And looking at his expression, it seems that this guy has experienced S-plots more than once that normal people would be shocked by?

This guy.

Are you the kind of professional adventurer who pursues difficult challenges?

 Me. What kind of guy did I meet?

 Are they all such crazy people in Donghuang?

 Shocked. Shocked.

 Alice also knew that now was not the time to talk about this.

 She also felt that there was a high possibility of a fierce battle later.

She turned her eyes and figured out why Ji Xun would focus on the [Element Controller], and said worriedly: "But, in addition to the captain of ten thousand, there are also many captains of thousands and centurions."

 One-on-one, she can hold off for a while.

 If a fight really breaks out, it will be a melee.

 She didn't dare to be sure.

Ji Xun interrupted her worries and said in an extremely calm tone: "The rest are not fatal threats."

ˆ “.”

Alice looked at this guy's expression, and for some reason, her eyelids jumped again.

 No threat?

ˆ˜hiss.

 Aren’t you only at level 4?

Although the careful thinking brought by the wisdom sequence has indeed solved a lot of troubles before.

 But when it comes to a melee, it's not something you can survive by using your brain.

 Alice recalled the enemy's methods.

Thinking about it, there were three or five people of the same level, and she herself was in danger.

However, before she could clear up the complicated thoughts in her mind, she heard the thunderous words again: "If a fight really breaks out, you try your best to hold off the fifth level, and I will take care of the others."

　　The tone is still the same without any fluctuation.

Alice turned her head and looked away, her stiff expression already expressed her mentality at the moment: This guy must be crazy!

 Mind reading also confirmed her judgment.

 She found that Ji Xun's mental state at the moment was very wrong!

　　It was as manic as boiling.

 But the strange thing is that Ji Xun's expression and mental state are two completely different situations.

How could he act so calmly when his mental strength was about to explode?

 Alice does not know, and Ji Xun is not arrogant.

 It is the confidence derived from observation.

With his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter some special ability users like Alice, he is not a threat at the same level.

 However, in order to keep the legion's joint attack tactics uniform, the army rarely configures various weird occupational sequences.

 The observations he made during his previous escape also allowed Ji Xun to remember the abilities of every enemy he saw.

 The ability of "I am the world" also allowed him to deduce various means of coping.

Ji Xun now also deeply understands why the Gongwuhui originally evaluated the ability of the light chaser as it was difficult to kill without being crushed by rank.

 As long as you see it, there will be no doubt.

This ability will make the opponent see no secrets at all in his eyes.

 What is deduced is what will happen in the future.

 Although Ji Xun has not reached that exaggerated level now, it is enough to deal with the same level.

 Alice quickly concealed her surprise.

She felt that she must be crazy to believe this guy!

 Although she couldn't figure out where Ji Xun's confidence lay.

 But her intuition told her that this guy must have the strength to match his calmness.

 But what she didn’t know was.

Ji Xun was not sure.

No matter how strong he is, he is not so arrogant that he can be sure that he can survive under a fifth-level attack.

 The reason why he can be so indifferent is not because he has confidence that he can survive.

  Simply because he felt that the emotion of fear would affect his judgment,

  So I never let it interfere with my judgment.

Ji Xun deduced all the plans and concluded that under the current conditions, their probability of survival was less than 5%.

 He murmured to himself: "What else is missing?"

 While he was frowning and thinking for a moment, "Gron" who was following him suddenly spoke.

He didn’t know why two strangers saved him, but it was a fact that he was saved, and he said sincerely: “Thank you for saving my life.”

The previous conversation between the two was patched up by the will of space, and Goron didn't find it strange.

 At this point, both of them looked at this brave young man who was still a little immature.

Ji Xun was not kind in rescuing Goron.

  Instead, they had to follow this NPC, so they took it with them.

As soon as he said these words, Ji Xun's mind flashed.

Huh.

Thinking again about the beginning of entering the space, isn't this "Gron" the most reliable anchor that he thinks will trigger a difficult plot to survive?

There is no one else around now.

Time is running out, so after a few polite words, Ji Xun asked directly: "Gron, do you know Master Jamil?"

 He has not forgotten that surviving is only one of the goals.

 Another necessary condition is to find the key to the "slave collar".

This kind of future hero may know some information.

Hearing Ji Xun’s question, Alice also cast an expectant look.

　　She and Allen finally found out about this name before, but now they are almost dead and have no clue.

 I am also anxious in my heart.

Looking at the burning gazes of the two people, the young man became a little unconfident and asked, "Ah, are you talking about Grandpa Jamil?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xun and Alice were both happy: There's something going on!

Ji Xun was also afraid that he had the same name, so he directly stated his purpose: "I have a friend who is locked in a very high-end slave collar and cannot escape. I want to find Master Gamil to break it."

“Oh. Grandpa Gamil is really good at cracking collars.”

Goron gave the response that the two of them were expecting, and added: "However, he is not in Wallen City now, but is studying ancient spells in the 'Run Highlands'. If we can get out alive, I can take you there." Find him. But”

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Xun and the two of them. There was no fear of death in his eyes, only regret.

 But when Ji Xun heard this, he showed a satisfied expression!

enough!

 This sentence means a lot to these two people!

　　Not only did he know the exact location of Master Gamil.

 Even if they are not allowed to come into contact with the subsequent main plot,

 This also gives them hope.

 Because there is a hidden condition for drawing cards in an extra-dimensional space.

 Anything that has been touched in the space, such as martial arts, demon marks, materials, intelligence, etc., may appear in the card pool.

 The prerequisite is that you must really get in touch with it!

And if you go deeper into triggering the relevant plot, you will have a greater chance of getting it by drawing cards after settling.

　From this tone, it seems that Goron and Master Gamil are very familiar with each other, and they have reached the level of being related to the plot.

In other words, from this moment on, Ji Xun was sure that the [Key] would appear in the settlement card pool!

Alice could not hide her joy either.

She also didn’t expect that the key, which she had always had no clue about, would appear in front of her so accidentally.

But before she had time to think too much, she suddenly froze, as if she had discovered something, and warned: "Someone is chasing me!"

Ji Xun also knew that Alice's perception skills were stronger than his own, so he didn't dare to be careless.

As soon as she finished speaking, Alice's expression changed: "No! My curse spirit has been discovered! The opponent may be level five!"

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun’s eyes flashed.

  I don’t think it’s because they were unlucky.

On the contrary, I feel that this encounter was caused by the Will of Space correcting the difficulty of the plot to "S level".

  It means that the next step is to fight to the death.

 But now we have to fight, and Ji Xun has no chance of winning.

 He didn’t forget it either, Toad had reminded him before.

Its ancestors were able to survive the battle in Warren City because they had a special life-saving relic in their hands.

 There was no chance to ask before, but now, he asked straight to the point: "Gron, do you have any special relics on you?"

 “Relic? How could I have such a treasure?”

Golon looked slightly embarrassed.

As a gladiatorial slave, the most valuable thing about him, apart from his underpants and cloth shoes, is the sword in his hand.

Ji Xun asked unexpectedly: "No?"

 “Oh, that’s right!”

Suddenly, he thought of something and took out a cloth bag on his back.

Facing the two saviors, he did not hide anything, saying: "Grandpa Gamil gave me a cloak when he left. He said that I can wear it when I become a hero."

Ji Xun and Alice looked over together.

 In the cloth bag is a gray coarse cloth cloak.

This is the case with extraordinary objects in this world. As long as your cognition cannot detect its uniqueness, it will be as ordinary as a stone on the roadside.

In front of me is a coarse cloth cloak that looks nothing special.

The material is completely ordinary linen, and there is no trace of extraordinary properties.

 Alice looked disappointed for a moment.

 In her eyes, no matter where she looked at it, there was nothing special about this cloak.

 It is the clothes of ordinary people.

Gron also rubbed the back of his head, seeming to feel a little embarrassed to hold such a broken cloak as a treasure, and muttered: "Grandpa Gamil said this is a treasure, let me keep it well."

However, as Ji Xun looked at it, his eyes lit up.

 He knows that certain items are like catastrophic items.

 It requires special conditions to realize its extraordinary characteristics.

This is the cloak in front of me.

 You must be a person with a heroic destiny to see its peculiarity.
