MTL - Cataclysm King

  Chapter 8 Cards and Materials

   "This guy is signaling me. Want to help?"

  The girl with the mechanical arm naturally noticed Ji Xun's movements, and instinctively thought in her heart: What can he help?

   But this is an A-level disaster!

   Is this something you can consider mixing with your combat power?

   Wouldn’t it be nice to live obediently as bait?

   After being together for a day, the girl with the mechanical arm didn't realize that her teammate was not only weak because he was sucked dry by the witch, but because he was weak himself, and he couldn't even perceive this guy's mana fluctuations.

   But at the same time, watching that action, she immediately realized something else: this guy is not mentally polluted?

  Under normal circumstances, non-professionals who are in the same room as [Fallen Witch] have already been mind-controlled.

   Not to mention the A-level disaster with secondary distortion.

  But not only was this guy not under control at the moment, he even calmly beckoned for help.

  If it's not that he's mentally confused, then he really has some other means.

   "Could it be the demon mark that has awakened the direction of spiritual power?"

  At this moment, the girl suddenly understood.

  Why did this man stay with the witch last night and still survive.

  But the mental strength is strong, and it cannot conceal that he is a weak chicken.

   "Why don't you let him try?"

  The silver-haired girl felt conflicted for a moment.

  Although I don't think this temporary teammate has the ability to help, but there is no choice at present.

   The monster deformed twice. Although she still has a chance of winning, she cannot be killed in a short time.

   Now that the monsters in the entire different-dimensional space have gone berserk, why didn't she hear the gunshots coming from outside the door?

   If it really takes too long, the monsters from outside rush in, and the risk will be infinitely magnified.

  Thinking of this, the robotic girl also made a decisive decision: Let him try, anyway, the situation can't be worse.

  She knew very well that the monster's weakness was its mouthparts.

   This is the only fatal wound a firearm can cause.

   But the monster is very cunning. When it fights with itself, it hides its mouthparts tightly.

  The girl with the mechanical arm thought together, and immediately made a fatal "mistake" on purpose during the battle.

  She grabbed the monster's tail whip with one hand, and was forced to grab the monster's attacking forelimb with the other hand.

  Hands seemed to be restrained instantly.

  The monster immediately felt that it had grasped the fatal flaw of this human being, and without hesitation, a spiky sarcoid mouthpart suddenly ejected from the mouth of the strange baby with a terrifying gap.

   "Whoosh!"

high speed.

  The girl with the mechanical arm saw the mouthpiece directly stabbing her chest, and her pupils shrank suddenly: it finally appeared.

   This is the best opportunity!

   Almost at the same time.

   "Boom!"

  Gunshots rang out in the room.

  The timing of the shot is just right.

  It is difficult for ordinary people to grasp this kind of fleeting flaw.

  The girl with the mechanical arm also breathed a sigh of relief, that guy is not bad, and he didn't miss the opportunity.

   But then, as soon as this relief came to her mind, a scene that made her even more amazed happened.

   Almost as soon as he heard the gunshot, his eyes burst into scarlet.

"this?"

  The robot arm girl is unbelievable.

   This shot was not only well timed, but also extremely accurate!

   The mouthparts are very fragile, and ordinary magic-breaking bullets directly interrupted the sharp mouthparts.

  The girl stared in astonishment at the cloud of blood that exploded in front of her eyes, and her brain gradually believed what she saw: "One hit?!"

  She knew that since the other party dared to offer help, her marksmanship must be good.

   But the difficulty is not just marksmanship, but hitting the target under the interference of mental pollution. It is very difficult for normal people to keep calm in the fear of death and mental confusion. How did this guy do it?

   There seems to be no tension or fear affecting shooting at all.

  After thinking for a moment, the girl with the mechanical arm understood that the guy had anticipated his intentions and predicted the monster's response just now, so he could hit it with one shot.

   With such a calm response, even if it were her, she might not be able to do better.

   "Not bad"

  The girl with the mechanical arm murmured in her heart.

  I thought it would take a few more chances to succeed, but I didn't expect it to be solved once.

  But this is not the time to be surprised. The monster has been hit by a bullet in the mouth and has suffered severe injuries. The entire space echoed with piercing screams.

   Kill the monsters first!

  The girl's eyes froze, and the secret technique has been condensed.

  The aura of the phantom behind her soared, and the invisible force field on her body boiled instantly. It was as if the two forces were colliding with each other, and after a stalemate for only two breaths, the strange face in the gap of the [Fallen Witch] a few meters away exploded bizarrely, and the ground was covered with blood clots and pieces of flesh.

  Ji Xun looked at the monster that suddenly exploded, and didn't understand what her teammates did, but it didn't prevent her from understanding that this move was very powerful.

   "Does the mind attack?"

  Ji Xun put down his gun and lay down against the wall.

  His body is not an extraordinary person. He was affected by the battle just now, but now he looks like he was hit by a truck, and his internal organs hurt like needles.

  The monster died, and the girl with the mechanical arm breathed a sigh of relief.

  She glanced at the corpse of the monster on the ground, then looked at Ji Xun in the corner, her eyes were very complicated, as if she was struggling with something in her heart.

   But everything subsides after a while.

  Ji Xun was keenly aware of the entanglement in that look, and raised his eyebrows.

  He didn't guess what the other party was thinking.

  After the prey dies, the value of the bait is actually gone.

   Now that the treasures have been released, and her secrets have been exposed, normally speaking, if she were a more ruthless person, it would be time to kill someone and silence her.

  With such a huge gap in strength, Ji Xun didn't even have a chance to resist.

   And in fact, she didn't need to do it herself.

   If she really wanted to kill someone, she could have used the monster's hand to kill herself in the process of fighting the monster before.

   But she didn't do that.

  I would rather trouble myself a bit than cross the river and tear down the bridge, and try not to affect myself as much as possible during the battle.

   Fully complied with the previous cooperation agreement.

  Of course, if you don’t cooperate with this point, Ji Xun will not only aim at the fallen witch with the shot just now. Even at the risk of being killed by monsters, he would still shoot the first teammate.

   "This is 【Healing Potion】."

  The girl no longer sees the entanglement in her eyes.

  Instead, she threw a red potion towards Ji Xun, and said: "A very rare material has been produced. If you can get out alive, I will pay you your share."

   This time, I didn’t say that I would give money, but also said that I would make up the money.

  Ji Xun took the potion and poured it in with a smile.

   If you haven't been crossed and demolished bridges, you have met a good person, so why ask for a settlement.

  He naturally saw the silver light emerging from the corpse, and felt it was miraculous.

   Is it really "explosively equipped"?

  The girl silently pulled out the dagger bound by her thighs, then fiddled with the monster's corpse, and pulled out a translucent thing like amber.

  She thought Ji Xun wanted to read the materials, so she motioned, "This."

  【Second alienation pituitary gland of the fallen witch】

  Quality: Excellent silver

  Detailed Explanation: Extremely rare spiritual materials, containing strong power of catastrophe;

  Ji Xun looked over, and found that the amber was surrounded by a layer of mental force field that was the same as that of the previous monster, but it was even more terrifying.

   Looking at it, it seems that the sensory world is distorted.

   Enlightenment appeared again: "Spiritually polluted, chaos +3"

   Ji Xun's eyes twitched, this thing is a source of radiation.

  The girl with the mechanical arm didn't look at it too much, she took out a blank card, and said lightly: "Contain!"

  As soon as the six-pointed star array on the back of the card was illuminated, the pituitary gland disappeared on the spot, and then the original blank front of the card appeared with the same pattern as the material just now.

  The mental pollution disappeared instantly.

  Ji Xun looked at it in amazement: Space storage card?

   Another card with magical effects.

  The material has been obtained, the girl with the mechanical arm looked at the card in her hand, but her eyes were a little complicated.

   Originally, I just wanted to find a material for a witch, but I didn't expect such a top-quality one to come out.

   The best material quality that can be produced by the first-order disaster is "silver", and there is a very small probability that it will produce the top-quality "bright silver", which is a rare material that is better than ordinary silver.

  However, unexpectedly, there is now a shining silver material with the prefix "Excellence".

   It's almost a one in a million chance.

  The moment she touched it just now, she had already clearly felt the majestic spiritual power in the material. This is the most ideal material for refining professional cards!

   After all, this is an unheard of secondary distortion disaster.

The girl didn't think much, and picked up the card in the white light that slowly condensed on the corpse, and said: "I need the materials. This card is given to you. Your mental strength is good, and you can just keep it." Save your life."

   As she spoke, she flicked the card without any greed, and flew the card over.

   Ji Xun caught it and took a look.

  【Witch's Gaze】

  Quality: Silver

Detailed Explanation: A one-time silver skill card that consumes 1 point of mental power. After use, it can cause mental pollution to targets no higher than the second level within a range of 5*5m, resulting in continuous mental hypnosis for at least 1 second. The control time is affected by the target's mental power value Influence;

   During the previous battle, Ji Xun watched his teammates use a card that could turn into a wind blade, and he was not surprised when he saw this skill.

  Range mind control, this card is very effective, and its value is definitely not cheap.

  He still asked: "Give it to me?"

  The young girl said with an air of not taking advantage, "You deserve it."

  “.”

  Hearing this, Ji Xun was not polite, he flipped through the cards and looked at them.

   There is an eye pattern on the front of the card, and the mysterious six-pointed star formation on the back.

  He also found it very interesting when he came into contact with magical objects for the first time.

   Just think how to use this thing?

  The girl seemed to have noticed it, and reminded her in a very considerate manner: "This is a spiritual card, very rare. If you hold the six-pointed star spell, you will naturally know how to use it."

  Ji Xun heard this and tried it.

  For a moment, it was like holding a pistol with your index finger on the trigger, as if you could trigger it with just one thought.

   Good stuff

  One card can hypnotize the target. Isn’t this magic?

  Ji Xun played with it for a while, and became more and more interested in this mysterious world.

  The relaxed expression seemed to have no fear of the fact that they had just passed the death line.

  But the look in the eyes of the girl with the mechanical arm was not as calm as him.

  I found the material I needed, and it was ten times better than expected, and the purpose of coming to the adventure was also achieved.

  The only minor disadvantage is when someone sees their own extraordinary talent.

   But it's not a big problem.

  The problem is, what happened in this different-dimensional space now!

  That is to say, the battle was decisive before, and the cooperation was quite tacit. The two of them killed the [Fallen Witch] without wasting much time.

   And not long after killing the monster, the dense fire outside suddenly stopped.

   I don't know if those people outside died or retreated to the first floor, anyway, the situation is not optimistic.

  The girl with the mechanical arm didn't dare to be careless, rushed to the iron gate, took out two cards and pasted them on the door: "Enchantment·Start up!"

   Now that the door lock is unlocked, they want to prevent the monster from rushing in.

  [Enchantment Card] can temporarily seal breath, but it won't last long.

  The girl with the mechanical arm stuck to the door to perceive the situation outside, and her expression became more and more serious.

   A decision must be made as soon as possible.

  The girl with the combat robot arm before was also seriously injured.

  After taking the potion, she also put on the gas mask again and put on a spare mechanical exoskeleton.

  Ji Xun watched silently from the side.

Probably aware of that gaze, the girl with the mechanical arm didn't look back, and said coldly: "This enchantment won't last long. It's useless to hide in the room in the 'escape mode', monsters will actively chase and kill humans. Outside the door I have at least sensed the energy fluctuations of ten powerful monsters. They will come sooner or later."

   Under normal circumstances, everyone hides in the room at night, and monsters are triggered by passive hatred.

   Except for monsters like [Fallen Witch] that can pass through walls, occasionally wandering will randomly take away a few unlucky ones, there is almost no danger.

   After staying for three days, you can go out.

  But now, if you don’t find the exit, no one can get out alive.

  What she meant by this was that she wanted to rush out as soon as possible, maybe she would have a chance to die.

  You do it for yourself.

  “.”

  Ji Xun listened to this and didn't care at all.

  Before crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it was already the best of humanity, and he didn't expect the other party to lend a helping hand at this moment.

   At the critical moment of life and death, naturally I will not bring a tow bottle.

  But at this moment, his expression became subtle.

   Not only strong in combat power, but also good at perception, the key is not to black equipment

   Isn't this an excellent teammate?

  Ji Xun has all the information in his mind after careful analysis.

  He felt that he had grasped some key points of this space.

  The girl with the mechanical arm adjusted her breathing, and she wanted to break through the door and rush out single-handedly.

   But at this moment, Ji Xun suddenly said: "Are you interested in continuing to cooperate?"
