MTL - Cataclysm King

 Chapter 310 Recognition from the Top Immortal Family

The sealed space on the third floor of the institute is much smaller than the second floor. The water on the upper floor poured in like a dam bursting, and the water depth soon reached knee-deep.

Countless devil leeches condensed into tentacles in the water.

 Sharp as a spear.

 They are attracted by the breath of living people and stab at them like lightning.

This thing has been experienced by everyone in the Southern Continent before, and no one wants to get entangled with it.

 But Heman and his group did not get the jars in the pyramid and had no intention of evacuating.

 They used dragon breath to resist the fluorescent tentacles while destroying the pyramid.

 The people of the Bai family don't know why the people from the Southern Continent are looking for that jar.

 But what the enemy is anxious to find is what they want to prevent.

 The crisis has become a boost.

Without those high-level card masters with bursting vitality, Emperor Leech's tentacles collapsed again.

 Finally found a safe corner to hide.

But he has gotten used to it.

If only faced with those fluorescent tentacles, Ji Xun's probability of survival is even higher than those of those at the seventh level.

 The people of the Bai family also know this very well. Now they have been targeted. If they don't kill more people from the Southern Continent, they won't be able to escape smoothly if they really leave the institute.

 He just used his energy to float in the water against the current, trying to stay as far away from the battlefield as possible.

 But judging from the action of the battle, both sides must suffer losses.

The melee between the Bai family and the people from the Southern Continent turned into a three-way melee with the fluorescent tentacles.

 The people of the Bai family may also have other means.

 The fighting lasted for more than half an hour and then suddenly stopped.

Everyone can figure out that it is better to have a group of people to share the firepower of the Leech Emperor.

 The two sides continued to fight over the jar.

 Although people on both sides now know that a third party is causing trouble, this is a conspiracy and must be fought.

Ji Xun, the instigator, was pierced by multiple tentacles again.

No matter who wins or loses between the Bai family and those in the Southern Continent, it has nothing to do with him now.

 What's more, if this group of people is really to escape, it's up to the Bai family to face the almost invincible Emperor Leech alone.

Ji Xun didn’t think much about it.

 Can't tell the purpose of pretending to be dead yet.

Ji Xun paid no attention to the fierce fighting over there.

 Zhihuang has some wisdom, but not too high.

Although his body was covered with devil leeches, it was no big deal as long as he had enough money to **** blood to save his life.

Ji Xun suppressed his health status to a very low level.

 Casualties also appeared one after another.

Just like this, Ji Xun drifted in the water all the way, and after floating for nearly an hour, Ji Xun returned to the second floor of the research institute.

 The purpose of provoking war has been achieved.

 At least it is not a priority target.

The development of things was almost exactly the same as what he had deduced.

  I don’t know what the situation is.

 For him, this result was already very ideal.

The Bai family has insect controllers, and the Leech Emperor poses a much smaller threat to them than those in the Southern Continent.

Moreover, they were all busy fighting for the jar, and no one had time to pay attention to a small fourth level that was already hidden in the pile of tentacles.

 Avoiding the fatal wound, he repeated his old tricks, used wealth to **** blood, and continued to hold up the body and pretend to be dead.

Emperor Leech obviously has no interest in this kind of blood food that is not enough to fill his teeth.

 Three parties can fight in a melee, but always beware of the other party causing mischief.

 The more the two sides fight, the more jealous they become.

 The "Qi" of living people that Ji Xun sensed dropped from the initial thirty to less than ten in the end.

 When dealing with Emperor Leech alone, both sides have the strength to fight.

 Thinking about the high probability that Heman and his group stole the jar and then escaped using space means.

 The water was filled with tiny, translucent leeches.

 What Ji Xun has to do now is to save his life as much as possible.

 In the central control room.

Qin Ru looked at Ji Xun's safe return, and the worry in his eyebrows dissipated.

 Just come back alive.

I wanted to help just now, but I found that I couldn't help much in that situation.

Ji Xun didn’t find it too thrilling.

 After all, most situations are expected.

 As for the other processes of fighting luck, it is not important.

 Living is already the result.

However, the two looked at each other for a moment, and Ji Xun was also keenly aware of something wrong in Qin Rushi's expression, and asked: "Aunt Qin, what happened?"

Qin Rushi frowned slightly and said, "I seem to have failed."

"fail?"

Ji Xun was stunned for a moment, then realized what she said and confirmed: "You mean your sacrifice failed?"

"Um."

 Qin Ru nodded.

She didn't seem to understand. She pondered for a moment, and then said: "I don't know what went wrong. But the fact is that I offered the sacrifice according to the sacrifice method, but the result was that I didn't get anything." Any immortal response.”

She said, with a hint of apology in her expression.

  After all, [Scarlet Corrupted Active Vessel] is a top-notch divine material that can only be found but cannot be found. It would be a pity to waste it.

"ah?"

Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard this.

 He never expected to fail.

　　Earlier, he saw the immortals summoned by the Bai family on the third floor. They were all domineering and powerful, and some terrifying golden immortals appeared.

 In other words, there are indeed many remnant souls of the ancient immortal family in this secret tomb of the immortal family.

 So why did it fail?

Qin Ru is impeccable compared to those of the Bai family in terms of qualifications, talents, marks, bloodline, and sacrifices.

 It stands to reason that it is impossible to fail.

 Let’s not say it must be some kind of golden immortal family. Even if it doesn’t work, at least a few ordinary immortal families can respond?

This feeling is like that in a pool where there are obviously many fish, all the high-end shark fishing baits have been eaten, but not even a small fish shows up?

 Is there something wrong with the steps?

Qin Rushi looked at Ji Xun's expression, his eyes darkened, and he blamed himself deeply: "I'm sorry."

 Her sacrifice failed not just because of the lack of approval from the Immortal Family.

 But it means that the chance of survival of two people has been cut off.

 Now they are not only being targeted by the group of people from the Southern Continent, but the people of the Bai family will never let them go.

 Both parties were offended to death.

 Once they leave the ruins, they will definitely be hunted down.

Only with the recognition of high-level immortals, Qin Rushi has the strength to compete head-on with the seventh-level immortals.

 Otherwise, there is no chance of winning.

However, Ji Xun looked at Qin Rushi's expression and smiled disapprovingly, "Aunt Qin, there is nothing to be sorry for."

Now it seems that there is a high probability that something went wrong in the sacrifice process.

 I can understand it if I think about it.

  After all, is Qin Ru the "god thief" or a career change halfway through?

Normally speaking, the "box" Ji Xun found in the mithril vein was for the descendants of the Bai family.

The ancestor of the Bai family who left the box probably thought that as a descendant of the Bai family, it was natural for him to know the secret family secrets of the Bai family.

 But it happened that Qin Ruzhi didn't know any of the Bai family's secret techniques before.

 It is roughly equivalent to giving her a secret sword book without any foundation in swordsmanship, but learning it is always a castle in the air.

 It is normal to have errors.

Ji Xun didn’t feel the material was a pity at all.

 Now that the situation is like this, he doesn't think it's Qin Rushi's fault.

Honestly speaking, it can only be blamed on bad luck.

Of course, Qin Rushi could see that Ji Xun really didn't care.

 Even calm about the impending desperate situation.

 But after all, there was something wrong with him, and he couldn't get around that feeling of guilt.

Ji Xun seemed to have completely skipped the matter. He said directly: "Aunt Qin, get ready, we are going to rush out."

 The two of them can stay in the central control room all the time and there will be no problems in a short time.

 But after staying for a long time, there is no guarantee that other masters will come from the southern continent.

 Now while the Bai family and Heman's group are seriously injured, this is the best time to break out.

As he spoke, he directly revealed his backup plan: "I also have an ally. If nothing else happens, he should be waiting nearby to pick us up now. If we join forces, we may not have no chance."

"ah?"

When Qin Ru heard this, his eyes were filled with surprise and surprise: Is there a backup plan?

 However, from the current situation, it seems that the surviving enemy must have at least a seventh-level person who understands the laws of space.

Unless Gong Wu comes in person, who can save them?

Ji Xun knew what she was doubting and explained: "I used to know a high-ranking member of the Dragon Rebel Army in the Southern Continent who was very powerful."

 He briefly talked about Aragorn's situation.

Only an empty iron cage can be seen in the crystal ball, and the big toad imprisoned in it has disappeared.

If Aragorn escapes, he will definitely find a way to take care of him.

Ji Xun has no doubt about this.

After listening to Ji Xun's words, Qin Ru understood where his confidence lay.

 If there is a seventh level, their chances of winning will indeed increase.

But

 Qin Ru looked at Ji Xun, his deep pupils glowing with a strange color: This guy always brings surprises to people.

Ji Xun stuffed everything that could be easily transported in the central control room into the storage space, including the [Display Crystal Ball].

 The two of them opened all the passages on the first and second floors of the research institute, and then rushed out like lightning the moment the control room was opened.

 Sprint all the way.

Although there is no solution to Emperor Leech, it takes a certain amount of time to gather the tentacles.

 It is not a closed environment, and after understanding the habits, it is not absolutely fatal to high-level card masters.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi rushed to the first floor of the research institute smoothly.

There are a lot of deadly spores floating in the air here, but the two people wearing full-body chemical protective suits are not affected at all.

 They chose the route they had planned before lifting up, and rushed out of the ground smoothly.

 The ground was littered with corpses growing on mushrooms, and the two of them did not stop and rushed toward the depths of the swamp to the west.

Almost immediately after the two escaped, Qin Rushi suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and his expression became stern. Unsurprisingly, he suddenly condensed into the realm of gods descending to earth.

Ji Xun also sounded the signal flare without hesitation.

At a glance from the corner of my eye, not far behind me, a crack in space suddenly appeared.

 Four people jumped out of the crack.

 The leaders are two seventh-level ones, one is "Black Widow" Heather, Ji Xun is surprised that this voodoo master can survive;

 The other one is the bearded middle-aged man who has the ability to control space.

 There are two more sixth levels.

Even Heman, the commander of the Hydralisk Legion, did not appear here.

 In other words, he died in the ruins in the battle just now.

 There are only four people, so the pressure is much less than expected.     However, it is still fatal.

Ji Xun looked at it and squinted his eyes slightly. From the corner of his eye, he noticed the cloth bag hanging on the middle-aged man's waist and thought to himself: "Is the jar on this guy?"

At this time, Qin Rushi said solemnly: "If there is a chance, you find an opportunity to leave first. I will hold them back."

Ji Xun shook his head.

 Those who have space abilities and old women who are good at marking and tracking, the probability of him escaping is basically zero.

 The only option is to fight to the death.

The two sides met, and Ji Xun and the two did not continue to escape.

 The four dark-faced Southern Continent people across from them did not take action immediately, except to see who caused them such heavy losses.

　　Seems to be waiting for something too.

 After the two sides faced each other for two or three breaths, something huge seemed to rush over in the mist of the swamp.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 A series of treading sounds.

Ji Xun knew that these four people from the southern continent were also waiting for Aragorn.

 And Aragorn will definitely come to help.

 So this is a battle that must be encountered.

The six people on both sides of the confrontation cast their peripheral vision at the huge figure jumping towards them in the mist.

 However, as Ji Xun looked at it, he had a premonition that something was not good.

 Because this is different from what was discussed before.

Aragorn clearly said that after unlocking the demon slave collar, he could suppress the body curse and return to human form.

 Why is it still in a toad state now?

 Not long after, a huge toad jumped in front of us.

A very anthropomorphic apology appeared on Aragorn's toad face.

While he was fully alert and staring at the four Heathers opposite him, he also explained to Ji Xun: "Something unexpected happened. There is a secret hand arranged by the Holy See on my body, and I didn't notice it before. Now my strength is only Less than 20% can be used."

 Speak concisely and concisely.

 He felt it necessary to tell the situation in advance.

Opposite him, the middle-aged man who transformed into a black dragon showed sarcasm in his eyes, as if he had expected it.

 After all, those methods were left behind by the higher-ups of their Holy See.

 Otherwise, how could we safely bring this guy to the Old Continent!

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun listened and his eyes twitched.

Aragon, who has 20% of his combat strength, may not be as strong as Qin Ru.

 Not to mention it is still in animal form.

 This time, it’s difficult.

 Fate is really like a drama, it suddenly makes some surprises to tease people.

The battle situation, which was originally said to be a 50-50 battle, suddenly lost any hope of survival.

However, even though he only recovered 20% of his strength, and knowing that he might die, Aragorn still came without hesitation.

 Seeing this, Ji Xun exhaled slightly and had nothing to say.

 The only option is to fight to the death.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun turned around and ran out without hesitation.

 In a battle of this level, he can't be of much help.

 It is impossible to go back to the institute.

Ji Xun now thinks of the only way to break the situation, which is to try his luck in the dangerous area deep in the swamp.

 Let's see if we can find any swamp monsters of level 7 or above, or any safe havens that are favorable to them.

 Otherwise, the three of them will definitely die today.

As soon as he ran out, fierce fighting sounds could be heard behind him.

  Qin Rushi and Aragorn understood in a tacit understanding why Ji Xun turned around and ran away.

 They knew that Ji Xun was not trying to escape, but was looking for a chance to survive.

 So they must try their best to stop it.

 If we can delay it, we may still be able to wait until there is a glimmer of hope.

 Running all the way.

 The poisonous fog of the swamp slapped his face, making it wet.

Ji Xun has all the information collected by the adventurers these days in his mind.

 He is also very aware of the distribution of those “high-risk areas”.

Ji Xun ran towards those areas.

 The four people from the Southern Continent have no intention of pursuing them.

Even after running a few kilometers in an instant, with no one chasing him, Ji Xun still felt that the cloud of death was following him like a shadow.

 “Where is the opportunity to break the situation?”

 He knew that there was a mark on him and he could not escape no matter how hard he ran.

The real oppressive feeling of death caused his brain to fall into an absolutely calm and high-speed thinking state.

In this state of great terror of death, the deduction ability of "I am the world" is brought into full play at this moment.

 Even if there is a glimmer of opportunity, he will not give up!

At this moment, various fragments of information flashed through Ji Xun's mind like a slideshow.

 All information about this plague swamp, information about the enemy's extraordinary abilities.

 Then splice, deduce, make mistakes, overturn, and re-deduce.

 In an instant, dozens of ideas are being deduced at the same time.

Ji has thought through countless options.

 But no matter how he deduced it, he felt that they were dead today.

 Qin Rushi and Aragorn can't last long.

Ji Xun himself may not be able to find that glimmer of hope alive.

 Although he is still alive.

 But never at any time, more clearly than at this moment, did he feel the cold feeling of the death sickle against his neck.

 “Are you really going to die this time?”

Ji Xun once again felt the extreme excitement brought to the brain by the approaching death.

This state made him feel great.

 At no time can he observe the world and his own heart more clearly than in this state.

 He is not afraid of death.

 But I don’t want to die like this.

 After having this belief, it seems that all thoughts are serving this idea.

 Fate is like a clown, frightening and surprising people.

 The turning point came very suddenly.

As he ran, Ji Xun's idea suddenly disappeared.

Ji Xun suddenly felt that the lingering death crisis disappeared out of thin air.

As if thinking of something, he stood still.

He deduced the thought that flashed through him again. The corners of his mouth cracked to the base of his ears, and he suddenly realized: "Oh, that's it."

 On the other side, Qin Rushi and Aragorn were fighting fiercely with the "Black Widow" Heather.

 Both of them used desperate measures to stimulate their potential, so that they could defeat Zhou Xuan for a moment in the hands of two seventh-level enemies.

 They all knew what Ji Xun was going to do, but they didn't have much hope.

 Because they can't last much longer.

The black dragon who can use the laws of space has a crushing method, which is strange, sharp, and decisive in killing.

 There is no hope at all.

 The two of them thought that the only thing they could do was to delay as much time as possible, perhaps allowing Ji Xun to escape far enough.

 At this time.

 A "bang" sound.

Qin Ru was flashed in front of the black dragon and punched the god's armor.

The seventh-level space law blasted directly through her domain. She couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood and flew backwards for a hundred meters.

Aragorn had no time to take care of himself, and the huge toad body was beaten back by the other three people.

 Just when both of them were about to face defeat and death calmly.

 A figure strolled out of the mist.

Qin Ruzhi saw the person coming clearly, and the look on her pale and pretty face changed: Why is this guy back!

 Even Aragorn and the four enemies on the opposite side were all surprised.

 They couldn’t imagine what Ji Xun’s return at this time meant.

Knowing that there was no chance of winning, you came back to die?

However, when Qin Ru looked at the indifferent expression on Ji Xun's face, a thought came to her mind that she couldn't believe: Could this guy have a solution?

Ji Xun walked to Qin Rushi's side and helped Qin Rushi, who was seriously injured, unhurriedly.

Qin Ru was surprised and confused: "You"

 If you really want to die, it doesn't matter if you die together.

But Ji Xun's expression seemed to have no awareness of facing death at all.

Instead, he looked into the air and muttered to himself: "It's almost done. That senior should show up soon."

These words were obviously not meant for him. Qin Ru thought that Ji Xun was talking nonsense at first.

But as soon as her thoughts changed, she suddenly understood something, "You mean!!"

Ji Xun looked up at the mist in the sky, as if he was sure what was there: "I just carefully recalled all the details. I found that Aunt Qin, your sacrifice before may not have failed. It was a success. It's just that senior, maybe Have some ideas."

"this"

 Qin Ru's crystal eyes trembled frequently.

As soon as she said these words, the dark feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. It was a feeling of establishing a contract.

 Faerie contracts are always two-way.

 The host offers sacrifices in order to get the response and approval of the Immortal Family;

 Similarly, the Immortal Family also wants to test the host.

Especially some top-level immortal families, they have their own arrogance. It's not because of the Bai family's bloodline and contract that they have to respond with face.

If the host's conditions do not satisfy them, it is normal to ignore them.

 Obviously, there is a high probability that Qin Rushi's qualifications are not problematic.

 At least it can get some responses from ordinary immortals.

 But the fact is, she got no response.

 If there is something wrong with a certain sacrifice procedure,

 So, a certain top-level immortal family has taken a fancy to this host and wants to test his character to see if he is qualified to be its host.

Ji Xun just stood there, completely ignoring the enemies staring at him.

This kind of crazy and confident aura not only arouses everyone's curiosity.

Even in the void, a voice came out: "Boy, do you recognize me?"

　　　　???”

Ji Xun was stunned when he heard this.

 He was not surprised to receive a response.

 Because this is the result that I, the world, will deduce that will happen almost 100% of the time.

but.

What surprised him was the word "recognize".

 That immortal who doesn’t know what level he is said this, that is to say

 Have they met before?

Ji Xun searched for suitable objects in his mind.

 The next moment, he immediately realized who was speaking.

 He has indeed met many immortals from the Bai family.

 But there is only one top immortal family that I have ever seen.

That is the dragon-scaled king snake that lived for thousands of years in the sealed area of ​​the mithril vein a hundred years ago!

Ji Xun didn’t expect that the big snake would be here.

 Moreover, Qin Rushi was recognized by this person!
