Chapter 55 The Outrageous Combat Power of Chujiu
Not long after running away, Ji Xun discovered that the underground palace seemed to be a "return-shaped" underground palace structure.
The area is very large.
But it is limited.
Ji Xun and the others did not try to run through the entire underground palace.
You don't need to walk around to guess that there are some "Secret Keepers" wandering in some corners of this underground palace.
The three of them followed the traces of the battle on the ground and passed through a corridor before arriving at a secret room filled with broken bones.
From a spatial perspective, this is the most central location of the underground palace.
Looking at the various patterns and mysterious symbols carved on the wall, Ji Xun immediately realized that this was the final exit recorded in the adventurer's notes.
Ji Xun looked at the broken bones on the ground and muttered: "All the skeleton monsters have been cleaned up. This saves trouble."
According to the adventurer's diary, there should have been many elite skeleton monsters near this secret room.
It is also very tricky for low-level spell card masters.
But now they are all turned into broken bones.
[Grand Cemetery Maze] The disaster level of this extradimensional space itself is not high, and the strongest skeleton monster is at most the level of a second-level disaster.
A third-level elite frost knight will naturally kill indiscriminately.
The guy just stayed here for two or three days, and he can't suppress the San value. Once the monsters have aggro, they can only be cleared away.
This is convenient for Ji Xun and the others.
The only pity is that when high-level spell card masters come to brush low-level dungeons, they rarely produce materials or cards.
Even if you can really go out, the settlement evaluation will be very low.
What a pity there are silver skeleton commanders all over the ground.
In the corner, you can also see the collapse marks of someone sitting on a broken bone. I think this secret room is also the hiding place of the Frost Knight these days.
Chu Jiu didn’t sense that there was a [Secret Keeper] near the secret room. I guess it was that guy who pulled all the monsters away.
Don’t think about it, there is no safer place in the underground palace than here.
After observing the surroundings, he said: "Let's wait here."
You can't hide.
It's better for them to choose a place to relax and wait for work.
Chujiu nodded, "Yeah."
Go back to the glyph maze and run down again. Either you will encounter a monster or you will hit the frost knight.
There is no need to continue escaping, just wait here.
Chujiu's injury has not fully recovered yet. After coming in, he found a place to sit cross-legged and meditate, and was planning a big move.
Nan Jing knew that he could not help him much, so he rummaged through the pile of skeletons, trying to find some materials for making psychic skeletons in case of emergency.
Ji Xun entered the dark secret room, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the stone carvings on the wall.
He illuminated the lamp and carefully observed the contents of the carvings bit by bit.
The carvings in this secret room are the most numerous and complex in the entire maze, and the amount of information is also the largest.
To others, these carvings of mysterious symbols had become intermittently decipherable words in his eyes.
Although it cannot be fully translated, the combination of pictures and text can help to understand the general meaning through half-guessing and half-guessing.
Judging from the murals and stone carvings I saw outside before, it should be a huge mausoleum built for himself by a certain king of the ancient Tarun Dynasty.
And this maze is only the entrance level of the mausoleum.
There is not much information about the tomb on the murals.
But Ji Xun looked at it, looked up at the core of his head, and saw the mysterious symbol "" again.
It's obviously just a simple moon symbol, but like magic, it vaguely touches some kind of dormant instinct that reaches deep into the soul, awakening the horrific memories inherited from the bloodline.
It is a feeling that cannot be described in words.
It was like seeing an indescribable god.
I had the same feeling when I was in the tailor street cellar.
In order to prevent himself from being contaminated by some mysterious power, Ji Xun immediately put on a clown mask.
But this is just a different dimension after all, and some things are not as real as the real thing.
After observing it, I didn’t find any hints of “Old Miracles”.
Looking at the surrounding four stone pillars, their distribution positions are also very subtle, as if they coincide with some kind of formation.
The content of the carvings above is that some people wearing robes like priests are performing a mysterious ceremony. Although the priests worship in different directions, they are all towards the moon symbol on the central ceiling.
Ji Xun looked at the patterns of the corpses that were hung for sacrifice, and he looked familiar at first sight, and thought to himself: "Isn't this the same ritual of skinning and sacrificing in the basement of Tailor Street?"
The moment he saw these stone carvings, he had a flash of inspiration.
However, what is the purpose of this sacrificial ceremony?
Are you trying to communicate with an ancient god?
Or pray for strength?
He didn't find the exact answer in the carving.
Moreover, although the card master borrows the power of demons, he has no belief in gods. Therefore, in Ji Xun's impression, the Ancient God's Families and the Old Day Sect were similar to sewer rats in the eyes of the hunters. They were a group of crazy and extreme aliens.
Ji Xun didn't go to see more of the sacrificial ceremonies. His first priority now was to find a way out.
But there are too many carvings in the secret room, and I can’t finish them all in a while.
Before he finished reading, the sound of clanging armor came from the empty corridor.
Chujiu, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted softly: "Here we come."
Ji Xun was not surprised.
The Frost Knight is here.
Even if he is weak and injured, the level 3 spell card master is still oppressive.
The three of them watched the frost knight wearing white armor walk into the secret room, step by step, the armor clanging.
The overwhelming momentum was like a mountain falling.
Ji Xun felt like his breathing had stopped, but there was a cold light hidden in his eyes.
Obviously, the intention is not good.
Like a sick tiger seeing three rabbits, his eyes were still sharp in the T-shaped gap in the iron helmet, and he did not hide the contempt in his eyes.
The class concept in this world is very strong. Nobles and commoners are completely different from each other, let alone the exiled sinners in the Innocence City.
In the eyes of this Frost Knight, the people in the lower city are like monsters in the sewer, as if being in the same room together will pollute the air.
This is contempt for strength and status.
It is also the arrogance that has been engraved in the bones of the aristocracy for thousands of years.
After taking a look at the three of them, a small character dressed as a corpse collector and two card masters dressed as adventurers were not worth mentioning.
The Frost Knight meant no nonsense at all, and asked in a condescending tone: "How did you get here?"
He didn't even care who these three people were.
The potential threat and murderous intent in that tone was not concealed at all.
Ji Xun naturally understood this threat and pretended to be trembling: "I and we found an adventurer's diary, and we happen to know a little bit about solving puzzles, so we found it here."
The Frost Knight listened and immediately felt that the note might be the key to getting out!
He couldn't wait and said in a commanding tone: "Give me the notes!"
Ji Xun also handed over the notes in the backpack on his waist very wisely.
The Frost Knight got the note. The thick armored gloves could hold the sword, but they couldn't turn the thin pages.
He stood the sword next to the stone pillar beside him, took off his armor gloves, still holding the mysterious box in one hand, and opened the notes with one hand.
When I saw this, I suddenly felt enlightened.
With so many people coming in, there will always be a few lucky ones who survive.
Just like himself.
And the three people in front of me who found this note.
But after looking at it, the Frost Knight also found that there seemed to be no way to record it based on the contents of the notes alone.
He frowned, turned around and asked, "Can you solve puzzles?"
Ji Xun responded timidly: "Yes. Before, we discovered that the maze passage was moving, and then We followed the instructions in the notes and ran in. "
Ji Xun said this just to give this guy a psychological hint: We are all your hope of getting out.
When a fight finally breaks out, the opponent will definitely not dare to kill him immediately.
Unless absolutely necessary, this guy would never kill his only hope of survival.
Only those who have experienced despair will firmly grasp even a straw when they see a glimmer of hope.
The Frost Knight could no longer hold back the urge to leave the maze. Without any nonsense, he asked directly: "Have you found any way to get out?"
Ji Xun He said bluntly: "I found a clue."
This is also true.
The perception of the third-level spell card master is extremely sharp. If it is a complete lie, no matter how good your acting skills are, it will be impossible to deceive it.
When the Frost Knight heard this, he was filled with anticipation and immediately asked: "How to get out?"
Ji Xun pointed directly at the carvings on the ceiling and said: "This is a way to point to the old days. The sacrifice ceremony of the gods. The clue given by the space is that three hundred thousand craftsmen were killed. I guess the death of the craftsmen may also be related to the sacrifice of the old gods, so I guess those craftsmen may be involved in these. There are some clues left in the stone carving symbols to get out."
This is absolutely true.
Originally, this was Ji Xun's most likely idea to break the situation. "Sacrifice?"
When the Frost Knight heard this, he immediately felt that his ideas suddenly became clearer.
He instinctively wanted to look up at the symbols on the ceiling.
However, although the T-shaped design of the helmet provides excellent protection, the field of vision is also extremely limited.
It is very difficult to raise your head to see what is above your head.
He instinctively took off his helmet to get a better field of vision.
But the moment his hand was placed on the helmet, he paused for a moment.
It must be said that the intuition of the third-level spell card master is still very sharp.
He seemed to realize something, narrowed his eyes and warned coldly: "Boy, you'd better not play any tricks."
Ji Xun's expression was full of panic when he heard it, and his acting skills were flawless.
His position also cleverly blocked the guy's view of Chujiu and Nanjing. He was a professional actor, but these two were not.
Although this Frost Knight is extremely arrogant, he is actually very cautious.
The pressure released before was actually to test the strength of the three people again. Even if he found that the strength of the three people was not worth mentioning, he did not care and kept a safe distance from beginning to end.
Although the Frost Knight had a vague intuition that something was wrong.
But at this moment, the urgency to survive suppressed everything.
He still triggered the mechanism in the armor, and with a click, the helmet opened, revealing a pale, tired and fierce face.
In his eyes, these three people can be killed with a backhand.
He would never have imagined that a first-level card master would be stupid enough to hit him.
Without the restrictions of the helmet, the Frost Knight raised his head, wanting to see the mysterious symbols that he had never seen before.
Little did he know that this was what Ji Xun deliberately led him to do!
Almost the moment the Frost Knight took off his helmet and raised his head, Ji Xun jerked away and retreated.
At the same time, Chujiu also took action!
But how keen is the combat intuition of the third-level spell card master?
The Frost Knight immediately noticed the little Katu's intention to retreat and sneered in his heart: Overestimating one's own capabilities!
Thinking that this guy was the key to getting out, he didn't do anything ruthless. He raised his hand and grabbed him, trying to capture him. He wanted to capture him and break his leg to teach him a lesson
However, he just thought He started to move, but surprisingly found that his body was sluggish for a moment, and his mind was instantly alert: "Huh, telekinesis attack?"
But the telepathy was not enough to stop his actions, but it actually restricted him for a moment.
Is this something a first-level card master can do?
The Frost Knight noticed something was wrong and tilted his head sharply.
He no longer paid attention to Ji Xun who was running away, but looked at Chujiu who had already attacked.
I don’t know why, but looking at this first-level spell card master, the contempt in the Frost Knight’s heart was swept away, and his scalp became numb instinctively.
But his combat intuition also allowed him to react immediately. He stretched out a pair of big hands, and suddenly a light blue ice spell was unleashed on his body, and his whole body immediately became chilly. .
Even if the magic power is nearly exhausted after days of fighting, it is still more than enough to kill a first-level card master.
The Frost Knight thought he could instantly subdue this overconfident guy, but in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed!
Chujiu has been secretly preparing for a long time. How could he miss another sneak attack?
The Frost Knights advance through the order path [6 of Spades - Punishment Iron Guard], focusing on a control counterattack. Coupled with the Cao family's secret ice-based silver-quality breathing method [Frost Qi Jin], you can control and fight.
This is also the best combination honed by countless predecessors of Frost Knights over thousands of years.
When fighting with others normally, the enemy is stuck by the frost spell and cannot escape.
The Legion controls the field in a large area and is a nightmare for the enemy.
However, what he never expected was that his high-level ice spell power did not stick to the first-level card master?
Before he could figure out why.
Almost at the moment when he burst out, he watched the mysterious girl wearing a linen cloak suddenly change her aura, and her hair turned into silver hair in an instant. The hand knife with an invisible attitude appeared in front of him, and the silver card that was ejected in the air also bloomed with a psychedelic brilliance.
The Frost Knight’s widened eyes finally showed a touch of horror.
I have level suppression. In theory, any spell card master below level three will be greatly restricted.
But the other party's coldness turned out to be suppression at the legal level?
He immediately realized that there was something wrong with the girl in front of him!
When he saw clearly that the pattern on the card was a twisted human face, he was even more shocked: the second-level mysterious card [Arcane·Collapse of Will]!
This second-level arcane card may not even be used by second-level mysterious spell card masters with ease.
She, a first-level spell card master, was activated instantly?
As the knight captain of Governor Cao's family, he knows many high-end secrets.
Seeing this situation, he suddenly thought of a possibility: "You are the one...!"
The third-level ice spell that can suppress his own third-level ice spell at the legal level with the first-level spell. , the only possibility that the Frost Knight can think of is that the quality of this girl's fused demon mark is much higher than his own.
He is a fused silver mark, which means that the opponent's fused devil mark is at least of legendary quality!
And almost every legendary card has its own origin.
It is of the ice type, and also has telekinesis attacks.
In the City of Innocence, there is only that S-class wanted criminal!
The Frost Knight was also shocked. He never expected that a person he met casually in the maze would have a great background.
However, Chujiu didn't give him any chance. Since he was a sneak attack, his attack was the ultimate move!
The cold air released by the Frost Knight is as light blue as the sky, while the cold air condensed on her body is as dark blue as the sea!
At the same time as the card collapsed, the demonic power flowing out of the demonic shadow behind Chujiu also boiled, and he punched out at the same time.
At this moment, the spirit was already in chaos.
The Frost Knight's entire sensory world seemed to be distorted, and he seemed to see countless figures in his eye circles.
There was a muffled sound of "dong",
unable to avoid it, I could only pick it up with my head.
Just as the hand knife was approaching, there was an invisible position that was more terrifying than the cold air, piercing into his mind like a needle.
This is a telepathic attack!
Frost Knight's physical condition was already exhausted, and after several days of fighting, his spirit was already on the verge of collapse.
This time, it was as if the soul was frozen, and then was hammered hard, shattering to pieces on the ground.
The Frost Knight was hit hard, his eyes instantly turned white, and his tall body staggered back a few steps.
But not dead yet!
The ninth day of the lunar month didn’t stop either.
Not giving the enemy any chance to resist, her fists seemed to be filled with a layer of frost flames, and she punched the Frost Knight hard in the face.
"Dong" "Dong" "Dong".
In the huge secret room, there was a muffled sound like a bell.
Not far away, Ji Xun looked at the fierce Chujiu, his eyes full of energy: "It's much stronger than last time."
Looking at the sharp momentum of his old friend, he I was also very moved.
It’s not like Ji Xun has never seen an official spell card master.
But the only one who is so ridiculously strong is the one in front of me.
And Chujiu's outrageous combat power is directly related to the demonic shadow behind her.
When he was in 407 before, Ji Xun didn't know what was going on with the shadow behind the silver-haired Chujiu.
Now I can vaguely guess it.
Although it is not known which of the fifty-two demon gods the demon mark of the Chujiu fusion refers to, the quality must be very high.
At least it is of legendary quality, or an epic source card like [JOKER].
Ji Xun prefers the latter.
After all, there is one thing that she cannot be greedy for, except for her character, which is something of equal value to herself.
The identity of this old friend is not simple.
Because he had the upper hand in the sneak attack, Chujiu severely injured the Frost Knight with one move.
Although the battle was fierce, the Frost Knight had lost his mind and was confused throughout the whole process. His counterattack relied more on instinct.
Underestimating the enemy also cost him.
The triple damage from objects, demons, and spiritual power made him retreat.
It looks intense, but the actual ending has been decided.
Even watching a battle of this level is life-threatening. The terrifying ice spell was useless against Chujiu, but it was a fatal threat to Ji Xun and Nan Jing.
The moment the two of them fought, the huge secret room instantly turned into an ice cave.
The chill is biting.
Fortunately, the walls in the underground palace were regular objects. Ji Xun and Nan Jing hid behind the walls and were blocked by zombies, so they were not affected much.
Finally.
There was a muffled sound of "dong", and the tall Frost Knight lay dead on the spot.
Seeing the battle end, Nan Jing quickly ran over and supported Chujiu, who was vomiting blood.
Ji Xun also asked with concern: "How are you?"
Chujiu responded calmly: "It's not a big problem."
Ji Xun didn't say much. With Nan Jing helping to heal his injuries, he couldn't help much.
He thought and walked to the body.
Looking at the overflowing extraordinary characteristics, he couldn't help but expect in his heart: This is the body of a third-level spell card master
Without looking further, Ji Xun's eyes were caught by the frost knight again The suitcase that he had not put down until his death attracted him.
There is something in this box that is immune to the [Keeper of Secrets] curse attack.
With this thing here, it is only a matter of time before the maze is solved.
Ji Xun was curious about what was inside.
Thanks to old friends for their friendship and alliance, and to ‘Happy Bad Guy’ for their rewards and support.
