Chapter 550: The Insect Disaster Outbreak
The chosen one selected by "Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta" has a relationship with Ji Xun, so no fierce conflict broke out.
However, in that glance, Ji Xun's clone was also warned by the will of the outer god and suffered serious injuries.
The spell was simply solved.
Hong Tower, in the suite.
Ji Xun's body also knew what happened at the same time. While he was reading the classics, his face suddenly darkened.
Beside them, Chujiu and Nan Jing also had extremely keen senses. They also discovered that there was a terrifying and strange aura in the city.
Looking back at Ji Xun's expression, the two women guessed what must have happened.
Nan Jing immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
Ji Xun said in a solemn tone: "The person who came is the mysterious insect mother Kalakta oran royal court. It should be someone who wants to Turn the entire innocent city into a nest of bugs"
He briefly explained what had just happened.
As soon as the words were spoken, the two women’s brows became darker and darker.
The three of them are among the few people in the world who understand the horror of the "Seven Lords of Natural Disaster".
Hearing the name of the outer god, they immediately knew the seriousness of the matter.
Nan Jing's tone still contained a hint of disbelief as he confirmed: "Do they want to turn everyone in Innocence City into psychic fodder for the outer god?"
Chujiu also fell into deep thought.
Ji Xun nodded: "Yes. [Gu God] has appeared in the world. I am afraid that the plan has been laid out long ago. Now the whole city is probably full of parasites. No one can stop it."
Nan Jing's eyes became a little sharp and he said: "No wonder I heard that people from the royal court were gathering orphans and beggars everywhere. It seems that they have been cultivating the divine body of the mysterious insect mother a long time ago."
It's not like they haven't thought about this possibility before.
But I didn’t think that the people in the Oran Royal Court could be so heartbroken and crazy.
After all, the Insect Mother didn't just sacrifice millions of residents of Innocence City when she appeared in this world.
What’s even more terrifying is that there will be endless troubles!
This method is like sending a nuclear bomb to your own home. Although it eliminates the enemy, it also leaves endless risks to your own land.
The cost is even greater than the result.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he couldn't hide in Nan Jing's eyes.
After all, she is the high priest. While inheriting the inheritance, she also takes on the responsibility of continuing the card master's civilization.
Of course she saw the consequences of releasing the insect mother.
The foreign gods that our ancestors sacrificed their lives to seal were released so easily?
The Seven Lords of the Natural Disaster are all gods from the old era who are capable of causing the collapse of civilization, but really which one poses the greatest threat to mankind is the 'Mysterious Insect Mother, Kalakta' and the 'Source of Disease, Takpa' La' can definitely be ranked among the top two!
The Zerg crossed the border and all life was wiped out.
Not to mention humans, everything will be eaten away.
But that’s it.
It is irreversible.
At this moment, Ji Xun also wanted to understand the purpose of the Oran Royal Court's move, and said: "Those guys are afraid that they want to use this method to directly pull out the last stronghold of the Southern Continent in the Eastern Wasteland. No. With the foundation laid, the Royal Court of Oran no longer has to worry about being beheaded and attacked by surprise at all times."
Originally, I thought it was just a game about the spoils of Titan machinery.
Looking at it now, it turns out to be a chain chess move.
Destroy the Innocence City directly and kill everyone.
After the Mysterious Insect Mother built its nest in Innocence City, it became a natural barrier.
There will be no human beings left alive for countless years to come.
The people in the Southern Continent have no place to stay and can only retreat to the Old Continent. Naturally, they will not attack the city when nothing happens.
The risk of beheading senior members of the Oran Royal Court will also be reduced.
From a military perspective, this is indeed a good move.
But the problem is still that the hidden dangers are too great.
It is so big that it is beyond the reach of a small Oran Royal Court.
This does not look like a decision that normal people can make.
This is what Ji Xun found surprising.
As the high priest, Nan Jing certainly knows all the strength of the Oran Royal Court.
So her tone became more and more rude: "It seems that the rumors are correct, Arthur has been contaminated by the [Tyrant] professional card."
Odu, the last emperor of Talon at that time It was because of the out-of-control contamination of the devil's mark that Crosa Augustus became the Mad King.
The decision made by the Oran Royal Court now makes people see the absurdity of the tyrant.
Or perhaps, the new king Arthur has actually been controlled by the alien god.
Whether it is the moon god Arachne or the alien gods sealed in the two jars in the hands of the royal family, it is impossible for them to be controlled by humans.
For the sake of royal power, the new king acted too hastily.
Stupid and selfish!
If the Seven Calamity Monarchs were so easy to control, the original Talon Empire would not have collapsed.
But no matter which situation it was, it was not what Ji Xun and the others wanted to see.
Honglou is still lively, and the impact of the disaster seems not to have spread here yet.
The three of Ji Xun stood in front of the window glass, watching the singing and dancing downstairs.
The drinkers and gamblers did not notice the crisis at all, and still released their burning desires with great interest.
Although they knew that the current situation was irreversible, Ji Xun and the others had no intention of leaving at all, only deep thinking and solemnity.
For the three of them, if they want to leave, no one in the innocent city can stop them.
Originally I just wanted to see the backhand of the game between Oran Royal Court and Iris Legion, but now I saw such a stupid move.
Ji Xun looked at the scene in front of him and deduced countless causal lines in his mind.
But for some reason, the dirty face of the little girl named "Ning" whom I met in Innocence City kept appearing in front of my eyes.
While I was thinking about it, Chujiu beside me suddenly asked: "What's wrong? I just saw that you were not in a good mood."
Ji Xun pondered for a moment, and then said: "I met someone I've met before."
Chujiu Bingxue was smart, and she immediately guessed what it was: "That God's Chosen One?"
"Yeah."
Ji Xun nodded.
After pondering for a moment, he added one more sentence: "A little beggar I met in Innocence City once gave her a piece of bread. Just now, she gave it back to me."
After thinking about it, he didn't know why a passerby whom he had only met once could arouse his emotions so intensely.
That feeling of frustration is strange, like watching a good story and looking forward to its ending, but not wanting to see it end.
And now, that piece of bread seems to have brought an end to the story, giving the story of that encounter an ending that I don’t know whether is good or bad.
At this moment, Ji Xun felt that he was the protagonist of the story and also the reader of the story. It was strange that he felt like he had some enlightenment.
“Oh.”
Chujiu looked at Ji Xun's expression, responded, and then said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Nan Jing, who was standing aside, looked at the two silent people and turned his eyes as if he realized something, but remained silent in agreement.
The shadows of the three people were reflected on the huge glass in the room. They just stood there without anyone speaking.
After waiting for a while, there was finally a noise outside Hong Lou.
The hoarse shouts of panic suddenly resounded throughout Honglou.
The people in the building didn't know what happened yet, but they just watched the soldiers who were having fun in the building put on their leather armors and rushed out of the building one by one, as if they had been ordered to assemble.
The guests in the room were curious to find out what happened.
There were dense footsteps upstairs and downstairs, getting more and more urgent.
At this time.
"Du, Du, Du"
There was an anxious knock on the door.
Ji Xun knew who was coming and said hello: "Come in."
A man opened the door and barged in with a slightly flustered expression. He arrived before anyone arrived: "Brother Ji Xun, leave quickly! There is a big trouble in the city!"
The person who came was none other than Reni.
After saying that, he realized that there were two more people in the room.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the stunning faces of Chujiu and Nanjing, and immediately calmed down.
He felt familiar inexplicably, but he didn't remember who it was.
And if you think about living in the same room as Ji Xun, they must be close friends. The top priority is not to be curious about the identities of the two people, but to urge them to leave.
Of course Ji Xun knew what happened. This was a change that he knew would happen five days ago.
At this time, Chujiu and Nan Jing also put their cloaks on their heads, covering most of their faces.
Ji Xun was not in a hurry to introduce the two of them. He just looked at the anxious Reni and said, "There's no rush. Besides, I can't leave now even if I want to."
"Huh?"
Reni listened. I don’t know why, “Brother Ji Xun Brother, do you know what happened?"
Ji Xunyan said concisely: "The Oran Palace released the 'Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta'."
"Insect Mother? ”
Reni obviously didn't know about the Seven Scourge Lords and hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Well, you'll know in a minute."
Ji Xun didn't want to explain more, but turned to Nan Jing beside him and said: "Xiao Nan, help Mr. Reni expel it. Insect eggs."
Nan Jing nodded.
“Insect eggs? What are they?”
Although Reni didn't know what happened, he knew that Ji Xun didn't need to harm him, so he cooperated very well.
Nan Jing raised his hand and a spell card was ejected, and a magic circle with flashing lightning appeared at Reni's feet.
This is the seventh-level [Thunder Purification Technique], which is specially used to drive away parasites.
Reni recognized this secret spell from the palace, and looked stunned: Raising his hand to instantly cast a seventh-level arcane spell?
He took a deep breath.
What is the origin of the friend you are looking for this season?
The moment the spell was released, Nan Jing also let out a light sigh.
Reni sensed the electric current flowing on his body, opened his clothes and explained: "Sorry, I forgot to mention that most of my body has been transformed into mechanical prostheses due to toxin corrosion. "Nan Jing has never seen it before, and then he understands why the spell encountered obstacles just now.
Ji Xun looked at the mechanical prosthetic body that was full of technology. He couldn't help but take another look and said with emotion: "Your prosthetic body is a bit interesting."
It was not so exaggerated last time I saw it. Yes, the transformation rate now feels like over 80%.
Why does this guy feel like he's going to take the path of mechanical ascension?
"Can't get on the stage"
Lenny shrugged mockingly.
In this world, strength is king. In today's Eastern Wasteland, mechanical prosthetics can only be considered low-end, even worse than mechanical armors.
He looked at the slightly strange looks of the three people and said, "If it's too much trouble, I won't bother you. I won't live long either."
Of course he knows what's going on in the city today.
After all, they are a family of drama gods and have extensive knowledge.
Seeing this seventh-level palace purification secret technique, he also guessed what kind of troublesome parasitic species it might be.
Otherwise, his old friend would not have given such a warning that he must leave within five days.
“No trouble.”
Since it was Ji Xun who spoke, Nan Jing certainly wouldn't find it troublesome.
Without so many physical bodies, it becomes simpler.
She raised her hand and controlled the purifying lightning to move around the limbs near her head and heart.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of hair-like black larvae were forced out of the pores, and then burned into ashes in the lightning.
"This"
Seeing this scene, Reni's expression also changed drastically.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked.
When did it happen?
I have always been very careful, how could I have fallen into this trap?
A series of doubts flashed through my mind.
Although he no longer cared about the little life he had left, the horror of being secretly controlled still shook his heart.
This method is simply not something that humans in his cognition can do.
Before he thought about it, Ji Xun said: "The one who left behind this method was an ancient alien god, one of the culprits of the collapse of the Tarun Empire. Now there are traces of dust in the air and water of Innocence City. It’s full of larvae, and everyone in the city should be contaminated.”
“Ah, Outer God?”
When Reni heard this, his pupils trembled violently, and he realized the seriousness of the matter.
The amount of information is too much, and my brain can’t digest it all at once.
He was stunned for a moment, but he suddenly realized something, "You mean, the people from the Oran Palace are planning to kill everyone in the Innocence City?"
" "Yeah."
Ji Xun nodded.
At this time, he formally introduced: "These two are my friends."
"This is the direct descendant of the Augustus royal family, the contemporary King Talon, His Majesty Chujiu."
"This is the contemporary high priest Nan Jing."
Ji Xun and the two daughters are Friends, of course, you can call them whatever you want, but if there are outsiders, you have to be more formal.
It's not that he deliberately added drama, but Griffith's gang of Talon survivors called him that.
Chu Jiu possesses the destiny of royal power, which involves not only her personally, but also everyone in the [Royal Power Conferment Manual] and the complete destiny of the continuing Talon Empire.
Regardless of bloodline or inheritance, she is the orthodox King Augustus of this generation.
“This!!!”
Hearing this, Reni’s eyes widened, and he instantly realized why he thought the two women looked familiar.
Isn’t this the silver hair that is the symbol of the Augustus family, and the successor of the high priest who is almost exactly the same as in the memory?
He did not hesitate at all, half-knelt on the ground, and solemnly performed a knight's salute: "Your Majesty!"
As a direct descendant of the King's Four Knights family, Reni certainly knew that only the bloodline of Augustus recognized by the high priest was the legitimate royal authority.
He had seen that the Bai family had replaced the Nan family as the high priest of Oran, and he immediately knew that there was something fishy about the new king Arthur's rise to power.
But he has been expelled and is unable to care about the changes in the royal court.
Now when he looked at the two people in front of him, he understood something in an instant!
Chu Jiu looked at him and nodded: "You're welcome. Unless you are loyal to me, you don't need to give this gift."
Ji Xun glanced at Chujiu, who seemed to have recognized his identity.
The understatement has begun to take on the majesty of a person in power who is not angry and has authority.
As soon as Reni heard this, he was speechless, "Guilty minister."
He wanted to explain something, but as a failed candidate for the King's Four Knights, he seemed not qualified to say it. He is a descendant of the drama god clan and is not even qualified to be loyal.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally said: "The sinner swears to be loyal to the great Augustus to the death!"
Chujiu just nodded and said nothing.
Ji Xun’s reaction to Reni was not surprising. These royal ministers had an extraordinary sense of identification and belonging to the Augustus royal family.
Just like those Talon relics of the Dragon Rebel Army, it is not only the tradition of their family passed down from generation to generation, but also the divine contract that closely connects blood and family destiny.
It's like the contract between Nanjing and the Ming Peacock Clan, one will be prosperous and one will suffer.
But now the situation is weird and there is no time to say more.
Chujiu had no intention of making others bow down to him because of his status.
Reni doesn’t feel that he is qualified to be loyal to the young emperor in front of him now.
Reni instantly understood that his brother Ji Xun was on the side of His Majesty Chujiu?
Suddenly, the relationship felt even closer.
If there is anything else in this world that is worthy of Reni's life, apart from his family, there is only one family that has been loyal to the royal power for countless years.
While several people were communicating, an insect epidemic also broke out in Honglou.
A moment ago, the gamblers and drinkers had closed their doors and were lying on the windows looking at the horrific chaos outside the street.
The next second, without warning, someone suddenly exploded in the crowd, and countless grotesque bugs emerged from the flesh and blood corpses.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
The special sound of exploding flesh and blood was like the sound of dense gunshots, one after another in the red building.
The guests were panicking, and with the girl's screams, there were more and more bugs.
Insects burst out of the corpse, and the insects infected other people. In a blink of an eye, the entire Red Mansion was filled with a hellish scene of tragedy.
[Void Worm], [Meat Worm], [Exploding Worm], [Screaming Worm], [Sour Rot Flying Worm], [Heart-feeding Worm], [Facehugger].
< br>The reason why the Zerg are feared is largely because of their terrifying reproductive ability.
The insect eggs are parasitic in the body without being noticed. When it matures and breaks out of the body, the host dies.
Just like the human army has various military branches, the Zerg tribe also has bugs with various functions.
Parasite, corrosion, devouring, tanking.
As countless parasites died, Zerg legions were quickly formed one after another.
Ji Xun has seen many kinds of insects before, and this is how powerful they are.
Just like those [Void Mantis], although their level is not high, they have the ability to control the void sickle. They can easily kill third and fourth level card masters.
There are also [Heart-feeding Worms], which can control people's mental power;
[Acid Rotting Worms] can corrode the high-level magic patterns on armor;
[Meat Worms] are filled with sewers 】, forging the body to split, becoming immortal.
A small number of insects is not a big problem for the card master.
But the problem is, there are too many.
Too many to count.
Just in Hong Lou, a few people saw millions of bugs in front of their eyes.
Even the current strength of Ji Xun and the other two people makes them feel numb.
Not to mention that this scene is now happening everywhere in Innocence City.
Because Ji Xun and the others knew the methods of the 'Secret Insect Mother Kalakta', they were not too surprised when they saw this scene. Silence covered all their thoughts.
Reni on the other side, looking at the marauding Zerg, was so shocked that he was speechless.
He then realized why his old friend reminded him that he must leave Innocence City. It turned out to be like this!
At the same time, he also felt an indescribable sense of absurdity. Killing millions of residents like this?
Before he thought about it, Ji Xun suddenly spoke: "Reni, your grandson has been picked up by someone now. I will go there. If you want him to return to the Oran royal family, I will I will let him go. If you want to have other plans, I can help you take him away from those people."
Ji Xun was not completely unprepared when he let Lake go.
Now that the Oran Royal Court has taken action, in addition to rescuing the previously captured prisoners, there is also the Titan machinery in the warehouse.
Of course Ji Xun will not let it go.
That guy has the mark of the Iris Legion on his body, and he also left a mark by the way.
What Ji Xun promised Reni was just to ensure the boy's safety from beginning to end.
“I”
Upon hearing this, Reni looked obviously struggling for a moment and said: "I want to get him back."
If it was before, he would have been really hesitant.
Even if he knew that Lake was his grandson, he did not want to recognize him. After all, compared with the identity of the King's Four Knights and an old man who crawls into the sewers, the former is of course more important.
However, now that he sees the orthodox new king Augustus in front of him, does he still have any hesitation?
Not only his grandson, he even felt that his old friends and the four knights who were loyal to the false king were all wrong!
"Yeah."
When Ji Xun heard this, he nodded without saying much.
Turn around, he looked at Chujiu and Nanjing, "I'll leave this to you."
He went over there to intercept Augustus' people. We need people here. contain.
This is a plan that was made before.
Chujiu and Nan Jing nodded, Ji Xun turned around and took Reni out of the room.
Watching the person leave the room.
Chujiu frowned, remembering Ji Xun's abnormal mood just now.
On the side, Nan Jing tacitly guessed what his friend was thinking, and murmured: "Ji Xun must have touched the mystery of the 'Law of Destiny', that's why he behaved like this."
