Chapter 178 The Final Secret in the Ruins
Ji Xun successfully obtained the second [Bronze Fish], and the four of them jumped down from the ghost building.
The guards of the beast legion that aroused hatred before are probably dead, and the nearby disaster has stopped.
Due to the previous backtracking, this operation was a near miss and there was still plenty of time.
The four of them walked towards the waterfall they had discovered before.
While walking, chatting.
The most surprising thing about the battle just now was Ji Xun’s outrageous strength.
Just now I watched him as a second-level man almost beat the third-level eldest lady of the Bai family to death. The scene that made people's blood rush is still lingering in my mind for a long time.
Anyone else would be very cautious about asking such questions involving people's privacy.
But Che Er had a bright mind and asked directly, with a face full of envy: "Wow, Mr. Jixun, are you really just a second-level card master? How can you be so powerful."
Ji Xun didn't know how to explain it, so he responded with a smile: "Because the marks and professional cards are special."
Hearing this, the old man Xu rolled his eyes and rarely said something nice: "This level is not something that can only be achieved by external objects. There are some abilities in your boy that are difficult to comprehend without dying a few times."
Ji Xun listened and knew that he was talking about the fifty-two mysterious magic techniques. , also smiled and did not deny it.
The reason why he has reached this point is indeed not something that can be explained clearly in just a few sentences.
“.”
Catalina, who was still being supported on the side, did not change her expression even though she listened.
But my heart is also not peaceful.
Along the way, this guy refreshed her impression time and time again.
The most shocking change happened just now.
She, a top noble, has seen countless talented people since she was a child, but even so, she has never seen such an outrageous second-level card master.
The direct descendants of established aristocratic families are all lacking in extraordinary resources. She knows the strength of that woman Bai Wei very well, at least she has never heard of anyone at the same level who has failed.
But the fact is that a second-level card master was almost killed just now?
If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to be confident.
Thinking of this, Catalina also sighed slightly.
Recalling the scene just now, I still have lingering fears.
If Ji Xun hadn't discovered that woman in advance, Bai Wei would have stolen his destiny, which would have been more serious than losing his life.
So she was also curious about how Ji Xun found out, so she asked: "How did you find out that that woman was parasitic on me?"
Hearing this, Ji Xun's expression changed slightly. Playing with it, hesitating for a moment: "This is it"
Katerina saw his expression and immediately understood what he meant: "Guess?"
As she said that, she looked a little resentful. He said, "Then if I guess wrong, I will suffer in vain?"
Ji Xun spread his hands and admitted openly, "Yeah."
"."
Katrina was speechless for a moment.
Not long after, the four of them came to the waterfall again.
After getting two [Bronze Snakes], the confusion and restriction on the stone sculpture suddenly seemed to be ineffective.
Only then did Ji Xun see the line of handwriting he had carved, his eyes showing deep contemplation.
After killing Catalina last time, I chose to carve words here and go back in time again.
Now that people are still alive, there is no need for it.
But thinking that maybe putting the copper snake into the statue may not necessarily break the realm of time retrieval, or it may trigger some other changes.
He instinctively thought in his mind Got some ideas.
Do you want to leave some clues?
For example, the news that Bai Wei can take shelter.
When Ji Xun thought of this, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he immediately rejected the idea: "It's not like I can pass this time. If I go back, I won't be able to pass, right?"
What if? Come again and experience happiness again.
This weird smile made the eyes of the three people around Catalina jump.
They also understood at the same time why this guy didn't leave any clues, but left some seemingly insignificant ones.
But I don’t want to change anything.
It seems that from beginning to end, this guy is the one breaking the situation.
It would be redundant for them to interrupt again.
But so far, neither the remains of the angel nor the taboos related to the old gods in the seal have really appeared.
That might be the most terrifying existence in the entire Xia Mu City ruins.
Put this key up, and a real fatal crisis will most likely occur.
Ji Xun thought about it, then tilted his head and asked: "Senior, did I open it?"
He had the [Shroud of Light and Darkness] on him, and the "Silver Moon Secret Code" ", theoretically speaking, the chances of saving one's life are greater than others.
But that’s not necessarily the case with the three people around me.
Old man Xu also realized what the problem was. A flash of careless thought flashed through his turbid eyes, and he nodded: "Open."
Facts have proved that this old man's crisis intuition is unparalleled by anyone else.
He said it can be opened, and it is most likely possible.
When Ji Xun heard this, he had no reason to hesitate and directly placed the two [Bronze Snakes] in the grooves of the stone carving.
Two copper snakes bite their heads and tails, forming a pattern of ouroboros.
Then the pattern started spinning.
“Click”, “click”, ‘click’.
The ancient mechanism that had been sealed for countless years was opened, and the sound of stones rubbing against each other came to my ears.
Ji Xun was originally prepared to face some unknown monster rushing out, but unexpectedly nothing happened.
But Che Er also sensed some changes at the legal level and said: "It seems that time is normal."
But at this time, Ji Xun looked at Qidi and appeared: "Crack the time regression curse of Xia Mu City, Xia Mu's undead affinity +50"
Seeing this, he also murmured: "It's really broken. Ah”
This is a good thing.
But it also means that they have no chance to look back after death.
At the same time that the copper fish was embedded, they also knew that the thick fog that filled the invincible pit where they came down before was gradually fading away.
At this moment, dozens of large and small hunter camps on the edge of the pit noticed this sudden change at the same time.
“Look! The fog has disappeared!”
“There is an ancient city in the pit!”
“Hurry up, we are going to make a fortune”
“.”
For a time, the hunters and major families sent people to the pit.
This time, they discovered that the strange barrier that looked like a man-eating monster had disappeared.
Almost immediately, large troops that had been ready to go rushed towards the ruins of Xia Mu City.
At this moment, Young Master Kak and Bai Wei, who were still near the 33rd level ghost building, also discovered something unusual.
Because the communicator, which has been cut off from the outside world, actually responded? !
Kak didn't understand what happened, and was full of doubts: "This"
Bai Wei's face changed: "Those guys found the key to cracking the ruins!"
The four of them watched. Looking at the stone steps leading to the ground that appeared behind the waterfall in front of them, caution appeared on their expressions.
But since it has been opened, it is natural to go in.
Ji Xun glanced at Old Man Xu again. The old man's wretched expression was gone, as if he had recalled something, and his eyes were confused and deep.
After waiting for a few breaths, to everyone's surprise, Old Man Xu walked down the stairs with a dull expression as if he had lost his soul.
Both Ji Xun and Che Er knew that Old Man Xu had been looking for something unknown but "very important" for countless years.
It seems to have been found now.
They didn't want to stop it, nor did they speak.
It is better to advise this old man to be careful than to be careful yourself.
The two of them followed suit and walked in.
When he stepped into the steps, Ji Xun clearly felt as if he had stepped into an ice cave, and a feeling that made his soul tremble instantly hit his heart.
That indescribable feeling struck again, indicating that there was some great horror hidden underground.
He looked back at Catalina and confirmed: "Do you want to go in?"
There is no way to go back if you die this time.
Ji Xun and the others each had their own reasons for taking risks, but the eldest lady, who was still seriously injured, didn't need it.
But Catalina only hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Although the trial only required her to survive, it allowed her to make the decision she wanted to make.
The gold coin of destiny told her that she was at a very important point in her life.
She also wanted to go down and have a look.
The few people walked into the dark corridor without saying much.
There was a strange energy floating in the air, but Ji Xun could clearly tell that this was the power of dark elements from the previous [dark matter crystals].
It is so rich that there must be some extremely dangerous source of pollution down there.
Going down the ancient stone steps, the four of them did not encounter any traps.
Soon they came to a huge underground space.
Although there was no light, the light of magic energy lighting up from the surrounding spells illuminated the entire space clearly.
The entire space is engraved with incantations, and there are three very conspicuous things in the center.
It immediately attracted the attention of four people.
A coffin with black gas, a stone tablet nearly three meters high, and a statue with a spider body and a human face.
They are in the shape of a triangle and placed in the center of this altar-like underground palace.
Not to mention these three incomprehensible things, there are those densely packed incantations that make people dizzy.
It felt like a fish suddenly swam from the river into the sea. The feeling of seeing the endless ocean in my heart seemed to collapse the old world view in an instant.
Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
In terms of exploration difficulty, this is a real "T-level ruins".
No one in the entire federation has ever seen such a super-level spell barrier.
When Catalina saw this scene, her crystal eyes flashed with splendor, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this the Talon civilization before the cataclysm? It's really shocking!"
The more she People with this kind of vision who stand at the top of the card master's pyramid can see clearly what the super-level items in this ruins represent.
There is also that big shock that comes from the bottom of my heart.
Even if these mantras are researched even a little bit, it will inevitably bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire card master world.
Ji Xun did not have such a high level of ideological awareness. He glanced at the layout of the underground palace.
At first glance, I was attracted by the statue with a spider body and a human face, which was chained all over.
I have seen Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Joy", in the other-dimensional space of "Battle of Outpost" before.
The people of the Silver Moon Sect came here for this statue.
Seeing the densely packed iron chains with runes, he also understood that the coffin and the stone tablet were all designed to seal this existence.
Ever since entering this underground palace, the enlightenment has not stopped: "You are exempt from the strong belief pollution from Arachne, the Lord of Dreams and Joy"
The closer you get, the more intense the enlightenment prompts become.
“So much divine power is still left?”
Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling surprised and pleasantly surprised.
This kind of belief in divine power is a pollution that others cannot avoid.
For him, the clown mask is the best nourishment!
This is countless times richer than the tiny bit of divine substance he stripped off from the Holy Nail of Light and Darkness before.
It was hard for him to imagine how powerful he would become if he absorbed all the clown masks?
"I'm trying to find a way to absorb the divine power in this statue."
Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Where can I find such a good opportunity?
But the question also arises. This statue is interlocked and sealed by the coffin and stone tablet. How to do it?
However, without thinking much, I suddenly heard someone speaking next to my ear: "Don't look at that statue. It's an old god. It's very polluted. If you look at it for a long time, you will definitely get trapped like a ghost tower." "Dreams and illusions."
Ji Xun and the others turned their heads and looked over. It was Old Man Xu who was speaking?
Changing from the wretched image of the past, this old man is dressed in a windless robe, with sharp white eyebrows and a light beard. Just standing there, his whole body exuded an indescribable aura of superiority!
Ji Xun's eyes were filled with anticipation: "Has this old man's memory recovered?"
However, without thinking much, Old Man Xu walked towards the stone tablet in the center of the underground palace, and at the same time said: "Second boy, you follow me Here we come."
"Oh. Grandpa."
Che Er glanced at Ji Xun and followed him obediently.
As if he remembered something, Old Man Xu also added: "Also, that girl, you come with me. How much you can control depends on your own destiny."
Catalina was overjoyed when she heard this and hurriedly followed her: "Thank you, senior."
Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard this. If he remembers correctly, this was the first time for this old man to interact with him. Katarina initiated the conversation.
But
both of them were called away.
What about me?
Ji Xun was a little embarrassed.
Is he going along now, or what?
If it were Old Man Xu from before, Ji Xun would definitely be shameless.
But now the unfathomable old man Xu makes him feel that it is difficult to take steps without permission.
Fortunately, Che Er was still thinking of him and asked directly: "Grandpa, where is Mr. Ji Xun?"
"Him?"
Hearing this, Old Man Xu looked back at Ji Xun. That wrinkled old face actually smiled?
What does this mean?
Ji Xun looked fiercely.
It seemed like he had recognized someone familiar, or had seen through something.
Old man Xu shook his head slightly, said nothing, and left directly.
Ji Xun stayed where he was with an embarrassed look on his face.
“What is going on?”
Ji Xun was confused.
He saw a lot from Old Man Xu's meaningful eyes just now.
But I didn't see the idea of letting him follow me.
Ji Xun didn't understand, so he just watched Old Man Xu and the other three walked straight to the stone tablet and stopped to watch.
Is this stone tablet what Old Man Xu is looking for?
Ji Xun guessed in his mind.
Far away, he wanted to see what was written on the stone tablet.
But I can't see clearly.
And in this blink of an eye, when I looked back, I found that the three of them were missing? !
“Huh?”
Just when Ji Xun thought something happened to the three of them, he took a closer look and saw that they were there again.
This.
Ji Xun blinked to make sure he saw it correctly.
The three people have been in front of the stone tablet and have not moved.
But they seem to be integrated with the surrounding environment, making people actively ignore their existence.
Close to the law of the universe?
“What’s going on with old man Xi Xu?”
When Ji Xun saw this, he also knew that this abnormal situation was directly related to Old Man Xu.
But, I am obviously very curious, why don’t you take me with you?
Ji Xun thought faintly.
But just think about it.
He vaguely guessed that Old Man Xu might have seen more things.
Having nothing to do, Ji Xun simply walked over to take a look.
I plan to see if I can directly absorb the divine power leaking from the stone statue of the god.
However, after walking a few steps, the package that had been carried behind him suddenly bulged, as if something alive was about to come out.
Ji Xun's eyes narrowed slightly: "Can't you finally bear it?"
He sensed the abnormality and threw out the backpack that was close to his waist. A few meters.
Looking again, the [Shroud of Light and Darkness] suddenly flashed with silver light, and the six-pointed star formation appeared, and a beautiful figure jumped out of the formation.
As soon as she came out, she echoed the divine power on the statue.
Although he was wearing a cloak and covering his face, Ji Xunye recognized him immediately. This was the mysterious leader of Silver Moon.
Looking at the person coming, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said directly: "Why are you here?"
The leader of Silver Moon glanced at the statue, then looked at Ji Xun, as if smiling Fei smiled and said: "You did a good job."
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, he pondered for a moment.
Already know that I have been exposed.
When he got the [Shroud of Light and Darkness] before, he had doubts about how such an important thing could be given to him.
Just to save your life?
Apparently not.
He also guessed that there was something wrong with the shroud.
But due to limited knowledge, I never know what the problem is.
It wasn’t until he saw how the eldest lady of the Bai family used parasitism that Ji Xun could guess that this might be the case.
The Silver Moon leader wanted him to bring this psychic medium in.
Seeing that the woman was going towards the statue, Ji Xun didn't take any chances. He asked directly: "When did you find out that I had a problem?"
Hearing this, the leader of Silver Moon smiled sweetly: " After the seal was broken, I used mystical techniques to explore this secret realm, and then received a revelation from the great Lord Arachne. He said that there was an ungrateful believer around me. "
Ji Xunting. At this point, he suddenly said: "Oh. That's it."
I had known for a long time that the fact that my faith was not contaminated would be exposed, it was just a matter of time.
Not surprising either.
But he never took the chance that he wouldn't be discovered.
After all, even if it is discovered, it is still valuable and there is no danger to life in a short period of time.
Just like this situation now.
The leader of Silver Moon looked at Ji Xun and acknowledged: "You are smarter than what I see. But since you have already guessed that I will use it to come here, why did you bring this shroud in?"
Ji Xun listened to the half-truth and half-lie: "To save my life."
The contamination of the angel's remains was something that a little second-level man like him couldn't bear, so he had to carry a shroud with him for extra protection.
And one more thing.
With or without it, the outcome is the same.
No matter whether there is a problem with the Shroud in advance or not, once the field of time retrieval is broken, the Silver Moon leader will inevitably come.
It is better to put the initiative in your own hands.
At least know where she'll be.
And Ji Xun was able to judge based on this and chose to leave secret codes along the way for Xie Guozhong and those from Bureau X to come!
Just within a few breaths of this conversation, the leader of Silver Moon also wanted to understand something.
She didn't want to talk to Ji Xun. As soon as the moonlight appeared on her body, she headed towards the statue of the old god!
However, at this time, not far from the entrance, a guy full of evil energy rushed in.
It is Xie Guozhong!
Not just one person, he was also followed by several X Bureau agents with powerful auras.
Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief: "Have you caught up?"
It is meaningful to delay this time by chatting more.
It is Bureau X's responsibility to deal with pollution. The situation in this ruins is so serious that he is sure that Xie Guozhong and the others will definitely be the first to go into the pit.
As soon as these people arrived, they were at war with the leader of Silver Moon in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to the strong underground palace, otherwise the battle between these high-level card masters would have collapsed in minutes.
Ji Xun didn’t even want to watch such a level of fighting.
But just when he was thinking about finding a place to wait for the situation to be decided, he suddenly saw a cloaked man walking in from the outside unhurriedly.
This guy ignored the fight in the sky and walked towards the stone tablet.
"A member of the Thirteen Kamen Riders?"
Ji Xun looked at the style of the cloak and immediately thought of the description on the wanted poster.
Although I haven’t seen the pattern before, with this style of cloak and the aura of strolling around, there is a high probability that it is.
“But having said that, Chujiu is also a member of this organization now, right?”
Ji Xun didn’t have a bad impression of the Thirteen Knights.
Although I couldn't understand what this person was doing, I didn't think he was an enemy.
He just watched the cloaked man walk straight over, and then stopped in front of the stone tablet like Old Man Xu and the other three, and started watching.
While reading, he also took out a small notebook and recorded something.
Ji Xun became more and more curious, what exactly was written on the stone tablet?
The situation in the underground palace became a little strange.
On one side, Xie Guozhong and others were having a lively fight with the leader of Silver Moon, while on the other side, several people were silently looking at the content on the stone tablet.
Several forces seem to have nothing to do with each other, each doing their own thing.
Ji Xun is thinking about it, let’s take a look again?
However, it didn’t take long for the mutation to reappear.
At this time, four more cloaked figures rushed into the underground palace.
Ji Xun really didn't understand which force these four cloaked men belonged to this time.
After they came in, they didn’t interfere with anything. They just stood aside and watched the battle from a distance. Did they want to wait for the fisherman’s advantage?
"From the Lion Heart family? From the Bai family? From the Cao family?"
Ji Xun thought about various possibilities, but felt that something was wrong.
If you are from one of these families, there is no need to hide your head and show your tail.
And also watching the battle.
But looking at the calm momentum of the four cloaked men, it was obvious that they were top experts.
Ji Xun watched as his eyelids twitched, already thinking about retreating.
He likes to watch the fun.
But this level of excitement is no longer something he can watch.
If you don't count the few masked men who didn't take action, the situation is almost clear.
The leader of Silver Moon was besieged by several people, and it was difficult to support the isolated tree. It seemed that it would be difficult to break the seal.
If we continue fighting like this, there is a high probability that we will be killed or driven back.
However, just when Ji Xun thought that the general situation would develop like this, an accident happened again.
Some people in the underground palace are looking at the stone tablets, and some people are watching the fight.
No one noticed that a cloaked man suddenly appeared at the coffin of the triangular formation.
As if appearing out of thin air, when the guy was discovered, he had no idea how to push away the coffin filled with black gas.
The coffin was opened, and an indescribable sense of terror instantly swept through the entire underground palace.
It was this feeling that made people notice that there was an extra person in the underground palace.
Ji Xun looked at the cloaked man who quietly pushed open the coffin. His eyelids twitched. He didn't know how to describe it in his heart. He complained: "Another one? Is today a gathering of cloaked men?"
Judging from the style of the cloak and the similarly shocked attitudes of the other cloaked people, it seems that they are not the same group.
But, it’s not the Silver Moon Sect, it’s not the Thirteen Knights, it’s not who the mysterious foursome are?
And, he actually opened the coffin?
Ji Xun was not the only one who was shocked.
Seeing this sudden change, all the forces had different expressions.
The leader of Silver Moon is overjoyed!
The expressions of the people in Bureau X changed drastically!
The foursome were full of doubts!
The Thirteen Knights still ignored him at all.
But everyone had a common doubt in their hearts.
Who is this guy?
What to do?
