Chapter 223 Was the angel killed by Nan Jing? (Please subscribe)
This is the sixth floor of the mine.
Said to be a mine, it looks more like some irregular cracks naturally formed in the rock, and a few artificially dug holes.
Looking carefully around, you can already see some spiritual crystals emitting white light sporadically on the rock wall. The quality is not low.
The crystal nuclei here are enough to exchange for enough food. If the "miners" above see them, they may be robbed.
Even when Ji Xun entered here, he felt like he had entered a treasure house full of gold coins.
But this is not all a good thing.
The denser the crystal nuclei, the more serious the mental pollution.
At this moment, the entire space on the sixth floor is filled with circles of fluorescent ripples visible to the naked eye.
These deadly "fluorescences" like nuclear radiation are always eroding the souls of all living creatures on this layer.
Ji Xun didn't dare waste time digging for crystal nuclei.
Although he can now absorb negative mental power to improve his understanding of the law, he is limited by his rank and has an upper limit.
He is only at level three.
The mental pollution on the sixth floor of this mine is already a hundred times stronger than on the first floor.
Even though Ji Xun has the clown mask and the blessing of JOKER, he feels like he is being roasted on the fire at this moment, and he always has the urge to go crazy and kill.
He knew very well that once that thought got out of control, he would immediately go crazy and never wake up.
“Can’t stay long”
After walking for a while, Ji Xun felt slightly in a trance.
Fortunately, he brought enough potions, and he immediately poured himself a bottle of [Advanced Sobriety Potion].
Then he continued to walk carefully in the mine tunnel.
Before, he felt that there were fragments in those spiritual powers that were of great benefit to martial arts and laws, and he carefully understood them along the way.
But now I don’t dare.
The negative mental power here is so violent that it can directly wash away the pollution from his consciousness.
Enlightenment clearly indicates the negative status.
"Eroded by 'unknown evil thoughts', mental confusion +1"
"Contaminated by the remnants of the 'Black Cross Fighting Spirit', mental confusion +1"
"."
Moreover, Ji Xun, who had transformed into a werewolf, had clearly sensed the crisis.
As the intelligence said, there are some unknown dangers in this layer.
“Gah ga ga, I’ve realized it! I’ve realized the supreme sword intention.”
"Jie, Jie, Jie, I'm wrong, what's wrong?"
"Ah, don't kill me. Hahaha, don't be afraid, how could I kill you"
"."
From time to time, various demon-like roars came to my ears.
Ji Xun himself could hardly tell whether it was the sound heard by his ears or the hallucination caused by mental pollution.
He tried to avoid those mine tunnels where "abnormal lunatics" might be present.
According to the information previously obtained from the three people, these madmen who have been waiting on the fifth and sixth floors no longer want to mine in exchange for food. They have gone crazy and want to get rid of those ancient spiritual pollutions. Learn some super-level secrets. Mining is just a remaining instinct.
"What is under this ruins? And that 'senior' is really down here?"
Ji Xun even doubted his own judgment.
The further he went underground, the more serious the pollution became.
It is said that below the sixth floor of the mine where the pollution originated, there is a seventh floor that no one has ever visited.
But these are just legends circulated among miners.
Because no human miner has ever been to the seventh floor.
That place is just gibberish heard from the mouths of "crazy people".
Ji Xun is not sure that he will be able to get there safely in his current state.
There were more and more crystal nuclei on the surrounding rock walls, and when he encountered ones that were convenient for harvesting, he would dig out a few.
These are scarce and expensive spiritual materials.
Because he was careful enough, Ji Xun didn't encounter any crazy people.
But as he was walking, he glanced at the rock wall from the corner of his eye, and suddenly he said softly in his heart: "Huh?"
When he stopped and took a look, there were crooked carvings on the rock wall. Some villains.
The carving is very rough, and it looks like a child using a sharp instrument to scribble on the stone wall crookedly and randomly.
However, at the first glance, Ji Xun's eyes were attracted.
He is now in a state of demonic solution, and his understanding is astonishing.
When I looked at the different patterns on it, it was like a slide show in my mind, and the little people started to move.
“Martial skills?”
Ji Xun was also surprised when he saw it.
And it’s no ordinary martial arts!
Even from his current perspective, it is a rare secret that is difficult to understand.
Many ancient martial arts techniques are even unheard of.
After looking carefully for a while, enlightenment also appeared.
"You looked at the stone sword manual and understood a little bit of the 'Hunting God's Great Spear Skill (False)'."
"You looked at the stone sword manual and learned a little bit about the 'Secret Art: Nineteen Demon-Slaying Sword Techniques (Bad)'" ."
"You observe and imitate the stone-carved boxing manual, and understand a bit of the 'unique skill·Tongming Shenquan (imitation)'."
"You observe and imitate"
Ji Xunkan As I watched, I was immersed in it without realizing it.
The patterns of these little figures are not just movements, but also contain a certain "meaning" conveyed by the carvers.
That kind of artistic conception is like a good drinker tasting fine wine. After one sip, the heat will go straight to the sky, but it is not uncomfortable, but has a mellow fragrance and endless aftertaste.
The more you taste it, the more you feel that it has all kinds of flavors.
For card masters in the fighter sequence, this is simply a "treasury of martial arts skills" with a fatal temptation.
One glance makes people want to move on to the next one.
But as I looked at it, something didn't feel right.
There is a strong personal will in those martial arts, twisted and deformed
Looking at those patterns, it seems as if someone wants to force those insights into your mind.
This made Ji Xun feel as if his eyes were welded to the rock wall even though he saw the reminder of mental pollution.
Even he himself didn't realize that he had fallen into a very strange state.
There seems to be a strange obsession in my heart.
Either learn or reverse those wills that are inconsistent with your own ideas.
Just when this abnormal state occurs, the negative mental forces around him also come in like a tide, as if there is a gap and quietly seep in.
Ji Xun didn't realize that he was immersed in it.
But after watching for a moment, the werewolf's instinctive vigilance suddenly made him feel a cold killing intent on his back.
Ji Xun woke up from a sleepwalking state and immediately realized something: "Enemy attack!"
Without any hesitation, the curse seals instantly covered his body, and a piece of bronze metallic paint appeared on his skin.
For the first time, a layer of punching energy lingered on his fist, and he turned around and punched hard.
At the same time, Ji Xun realized belatedly that he was addicted to looking at the stone carvings just now, and he shouted in his heart: "What a strong mental addiction!"
The power of this mural, It's more powerful than some hallucinogenic drugs.
Almost suffered a big loss.
A thought flashed through.
“Boom!”
Ji Xun hit the sneak attacker’s fist with just one punch.
Although he has just advanced to the third level, his fists blessed by the Overlord Body and the Curse Seal are like steel cones, and with the strange punch power of [Two Extremes Collapse], normally hitting the alloy shield will not be enough. Can make a big hole with one punch.
But just at this confident counterattack, the moment his fists touched, Ji Xun's expression suddenly changed.
He felt like his fist didn't hit a physical fist, but hit the tip of a sharp knight's spear!
In an instant, a "click" sound of bone cracking was heard, and the strange piercing force pierced several of his phalanges.
“It’s actually a spear skill?!”
When Ji Xun saw this, he was also shocked.
He never expected that this punch would be the spear technique he saw on the rock wall just now!
But it’s not over yet!
The strange force on the sneak attacker's fist did not dissipate. Instead, it had the momentum to rush into Ji Xun's body and shatter everything along his arm.
The fatal crisis hit my heart instantly.
Ji Xun knew that if he continued to fight head-on, he would be severely injured.
He changed his stance, quickly released his foot, and with the force of the recoil, he flew backwards without exerting any force.
“Boom!”
Ji Xun was punched hard against the rock wall, causing large pieces of gravel to fall.
Fortunately, the arm was saved.
Before he had any time to breathe, the guy opposite yelled strangely and rushed over again: "Wow quack"
Only then did Ji Xun see clearly, wasn't this the "deformed lunatic with three arms" who had killed the hooked nose with one punch before?
However, Mingming. Mingming, the long-armed lunatic's physical strength should be at the level of a third-level card master.
Ji Xun even felt that he was not as good as himself.
How can it be so strong?
When he was distributing food, Ji Xun saw the lunatic blowing up the hooked nose with one punch. Ji Xun thought it was just using some kind of special punch.
However, when he faced it, he realized how weird that punch was.
If it weren't for the special secret method of the Overlord Body and the curse seal, the strange spear power just entered his body, and most of his body would have been broken apart.
At this moment of thought, the long-armed monster had already rushed over.
The long arms were like two spears, and the air crackled with their slaps.
Ji Xun did not dare to be careless. While blocking and dodging, a green light lingered on his severely injured right arm, which healed in the blink of an eye.
"Bang", "bang", "bang".
The two sides had already fought for several rounds in a very short period of time.
The monster's movement was very strange, and it was not even much slower than Ji Xun's werewolf body in this cramped mine.
And the average person's arm has only one joint, but this guy has two joints, so the position of the fist is completely unpredictable.
Once you touch it up close, the strength is like a sharp thorn drilling into the flesh.
Even though Ji Xun was able to fight back and forth, he still suffered a lot.
If he hadn't been physically strong enough and had the secret technique of the "Immortality Curse", I might have lost arms and legs long ago.
Just this sudden confrontation made Ji Xun marvel in his heart: "Is this the 'meaning' that this guy has understood? This fighting intuition is absolutely watertight."
The more he fought, the more shocked he became.
This monster seems to have an unconscious instinct, and its attacks and blocks are always at the right place.
This made Ji Xun very clear that he would never get any advantage in fighting.
Even if his physical attributes are much stronger.
The noise of the battle was very loud. It sounded like the sound of blasting explosives in the mine.
And there is more than one aberrant miner on the sixth floor of this mine!
“We must fight quickly!”
Ji Xun didn't want to get entangled. Seeing that he couldn't win in a short time, a silver light flashed in his hand.
The scalpel flew out like lightning.
"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh".
The scalpel was invisible in the darkness, and it stabbed quickly.
However, the long-armed monster perfectly avoided it with its strange posture.
Ji Xun frowned slightly when he saw this, but at the same time, a layer of gravitational ripples appeared in his hand.
The left paw of the five fingers suddenly pulled, and the flying knives that had just flown out turned around strangely, and then shot back at ten times the speed.
The long-armed miner seemed to be aware of it and had instinctively made dodge movements.
However, the speed of the flying knife is too fast and it is impossible to completely avoid it.
The two knives "嚓" and "嚓" still cut into its joints.
One of the knives hit his knee, making a bloody hole, and his whole body staggered to his knees.
Ji Xun watched the lunatic reveal his flaws. He left a series of afterimages in his path. He appeared face to face in front of the guy and punched him.
“Boom!”
The long-armed madman was blasted out, a mouthful of blood spurted out in mid-air, and then fell on the rock wall.
With this punch, human beings would have been dead and severely disabled.
But instead of seeing much decline, the aberrant monster laughed strangely: "Wow, wow, master! Master!"
As he said that, he limped his legs again and rushed forward.
"It's really difficult to deal with."
If there was only this aberrant monster, Ji Xun felt that he would be able to kill it slowly.
But during the moment when the two of them were fighting, he heard at least three unusual movements in the surrounding mines.
None of the aberrant miners on the sixth floor of this mine are easy to deal with.
Ji Xun didn't dare to continue, so he changed his legs to four legs, climbed on the rock wall with his wolf claws, and quickly rushed into the depths of the cave.
Thankfully, he evacuated decisively.
Almost as soon as he stepped forward, several strangely distorted miners emerged from the other mines and blocked the previous mine.
Watching Ji Xun escape, four or five monsters chased him all the way.
Fortunately, although these madmen have good combat capabilities, their agility attributes are much worse than those of the werewolves Ji Xun transformed, and they are not good at climbing walls.
He ran all the way, and soon there was no movement behind him.
But at this time, Ji Xun also realized something else.
The monster didn't come over, maybe not just because it couldn't catch up.
But he has come to a very dangerous place.
There are no obvious boundaries between "layers" and "layers" in this mine. They are all mine tunnels and natural rock crevices dug out by miners.
Then the rock formation areas are roughly distinguished by pollution levels. Ji Xun felt the intensity of pollution around him, which was several times stronger than before.
He felt that he should be on the legendary "Seventh Level".
The information I received before is that the monsters in this mine generally do not actively attack humans.
Ji Xun was attacked by the long-armed lunatic just now, and he must have broken into their "territory".
For the few people who came behind, Ji Xun also guessed that they were sensitive to mental fluctuations such as "malice" and "murderous intent", so they were attracted to them.
"The seventh floor should be the limit."
Ji Xun observed his surroundings. Within a moment, he was already so polluted that his nerves ached.
The negative mental power here is filled with a lot of killing and violence. It is a kind of violent pollution that makes people sink quickly if they relax.
After walking a few steps, I saw some severely distorted human skeletons in the corner.
I identified the texture of the bones. They were as tough as iron and had a jade color. These were obviously the bones of a "high-level card master".
The presence of any living creatures can no longer be seen or felt around here.
“.”
Ji Xun looked at the deep mine tunnel with a serious expression.
I originally wanted to explore the source of the pollution, but now it seems almost impossible.
If he continues further, he is not sure that he will not be mentally polluted and distorted.
Thinking that he had already arrived here, he took another sip of the awakening potion, and the "Kongyue Shenxiang" also started to operate to protect his consciousness, and he decided to walk inside again.
After walking a few steps, I saw some carvings on the rock wall.
After a cursory glance, there are still some fragmented moves such as martial arts and spells.
It seems that these are the insights carved by those deformed lunatics.
These stone carvings are treasures.
Even if it is incomplete, if you really want to dig it out and take it out, it will be a "high-level secret book".
But the martial arts here are obviously more addictive.
After suffering a loss before, Ji Xun didn’t dare to focus on it anymore.
I thought that if I didn't find anything, I would peel off the rock wall before leaving and take it up to take a look.
It’s not a wasted trip.
Ji Xun just walked all the way.
After about another hundred meters of extremely difficult walking, he suddenly stopped.
Because at this time, he has reached the end of the road.
This is a huge space.
In the middle, there is an endless dark hole.
Ji Xun looked around, like a bottomless pit, unable to see anything at all.
But it was like walking to the crater of a volcano, and the "burning sensation" was already unbearable.
The mental pollution billowing out of the black hole was so strong that Ji Xun felt like a wave was hitting his face, and his whole soul was shaking, and he was about to leave his body at any moment.
"Is this the source of pollution?"
Ji Xun looked at the black hole and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Even if his mental perception is completely blocked, this is no longer a point he can bear.
The devil knows how deep the pit is.
Looking around the pit, Ji Xun was disappointed.
He saw no one alive.
Not even aberrations.
There were only a few bones in the corner.
“Aren’t you here?”
Ji Xun has already begun to think about quitting.
He came here just to find the legendary "senior".
But now it seems that there is no living person at all.
There were a lot of crystals on the ground. Ji Xun picked up a few of the best ones and turned around to leave.
But before leaving, he glanced at the rock wall that was also full of stone carvings, and he was attracted again.
If it were just some fragments of martial arts, Ji Xun would never risk his life to see more.
But his eyes stayed.
Because on a stone wall, I saw a narrative wall sculpture of a battle.
The carving is completely different from other stone carvings.
That piece is obviously the work of a master.
Not only is it meticulous, exquisite and expressive, it is also filled with color.
This is often seen in ancient ruins.
Usually to record major events that occurred before the ruins existed.
The same is true for this mural.
What is carved on it is a group of knights in armor, led by a woman wearing a bright red sacrificial robe, surrounding and killing an angel with wings?
That's why he couldn't keep his eyes open.
"What happened?"
When Ji Xun saw this content, he immediately realized that this might be the origin of the mine ruins.
But he was not surprised by this.
What’s surprising is the appearance of the man in red robe!
“Is this the Southern Mirror?”
Ji Xun looked at the content on the mural and was surprised to find that the appearance of the red-robed priest was very vivid and familiar to him at a glance.
The priest actually looks a bit like Miss Ball Head!
They are friends after all, Ji Xun’s first impression is of her!
"Is this the high priest of Oran?"
Ji Xun suddenly realized that it was not that he looked similar to Nan Jing, but that he had a similar appearance to the high priest of Oran.
After all, he had met Nan Jing's mother.
Mother and daughter are also very similar.
The red-robed priest on the mural is also very similar to the "Aunt Nan".
In other words, is this the bloodline ancestor of Nanjing?
But Ji Xun suddenly thought of another question: "No, isn't this Sinless City a relic of the ancient Talon Kingdom of three thousand years ago? How come it is involved with the High Priest of Oran?"
With these thoughts, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of an explanation.
Katrina told him before that the clues excavated from the Old Continent show that the Augustus royal family of the Oran Dynasty, which has ruled the Eastern Continent for more than two thousand years, is very likely to have the same relationship with them for three thousand years. King Augustus of the former Talon Dynasty came from the same lineage!
"In other words, is the Oran Dynasty really the descendant of the Talon Dynasty? What happened three thousand years ago that would destroy the Old Continent and cause the Augustus royal family to migrate to the Eastern Continent?"< br>
Countless doubts arose in Ji Xun's heart.
He already knew that he might have touched an unknown period of history.
"Also, the Weeping Angel is actually the ancestor of Nanjing?"
Ji Xun's eyes suddenly twitched.
If the man with wings on the mural is the Weeping Angel on his body, the matter will be complicated.
It’s just that Nanjing’s ancestor is the high priest of Oran, why kill angels?
What about the man wearing the crown protected by the angel, the royal family?
And not only the angels and priests were familiar with it, but also the knight corps Ji Xun looked familiar.
Those Crusader shields and various symbols wearing crosses, aren’t these the images of the [Keepers of Secrets] in “The Great Cemetery Labyrinth”?
There are various signs that this is a relic from the Talon Dynasty.
For a moment, Ji Xun felt like his mind was in a mess.
My thoughts seem to be out of control.
He didn't dare to look more and avoided looking.
It’s a coincidence.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from my ears - "dong".
Ji Xun’s expression changed suddenly!
He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Like the sound of a heartbeat.
Although weak.
But in this absolutely quiet underground, you can hear it clearly.
Ji Xun felt that if it wasn't a mental hallucination, he must have heard something.
But after looking over, he found nothing and immediately became suspicious: "Hallucination?"
Don't dare to be careless.
But after observing for a while, I still found nothing.
Ji Xun's eyes turned to the details of the mural again.
It looks like the scene where the red-robed priest leads the knight legion to fight with the angels.
“It turns out that this ruins is an ancient battlefield”
Ji Xun suddenly understood how this big pit was formed.
There are also those negative mental forces lingering in the entire mine. Why are there such strong residual fighting intentions and fragments of various martial arts and spells.
Because these are all left by the top card masters who died here.
In the past, the Talon Dynasty had super-level card masters who could compete head-on with the Weeping Angels.
After those super-powerful men died in battle, the fragments left behind were enough for today’s card masters to understand for a lifetime.
"Tsk, tsk."
This feeling of uncovering the secrets of history is very good. Ji Xun looked at it with bright eyes.
But the good times did not last long.
However, not long after, Ji Xun could no longer bear the negative mental pollution around him, and his head became dizzy.
He originally wanted to leave here first, and then observe more carefully when his tolerance for mental pollution was stronger.
However, the moment he turned around, he heard a "dong" sound again.
"That's right! It's the sound of heartbeat!"
This time, Ji Xun was sure that he heard correctly and it was not an illusion.
Because the sound came from the same direction as before!
There are still living people here!
Could it be...
Ji Xun's eyes suddenly became filled with anticipation.
Counting the time, it only jumped once in one minute?
This is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.
But Ji Xun himself is a qigong master. He has heard a saying that some top qigong masters can suppress their heartbeat and breathing to an extremely low level when they meditate deeply.
That state is almost dormant, which can minimize the body's consumption and allow the body to best maintain "qi".
"It's that senior! He's really here!"
When Ji Xun came to this point, he had almost confirmed his guess.
Only a qigong master of that level can survive in such an environment.
But alive is alive, Ji Xun is not sure whether the senior is a human being or a deformed monster.
Or even if there is no distortion, there is hostility.
Ji Xun thought about this for a moment.
He had no intention of interrupting rashly and waking up the senior who was deep in meditation.
Instead, he took out the good wine and food from the storage ring and placed them on the ground.
In front of such a master, he felt that the only thing he could offer was the scarce food in these mines.
This was something I had considered before coming in.
In order to avoid seniors having tricky tastes, we prepared a lot of all kinds of good wines and dishes.
Besides, it’s always right to be polite first.
I have seen the "meaning" of those deformed lunatics before, and those monsters can easily sense people's malice.
Ji Xun felt that if he showed any crooked thoughts now, he would be immediately defeated.
So he put down his things, turned around decisively and prepared to leave.
Once you meet someone, whether you can get a chance depends on your luck.
I can’t get out now anyway.
Don't worry, we have to wait for the result of this first meeting.
Speaking of which, Ji Xun always had good luck in times of crisis.
He took out a bunch of wine jars and opened a few bottles on purpose.
Just when I was about to leave, at this moment, the heartbeat of the familiar direction "dong", "dong" and "dong" became faster and faster.
“Wake up!”
Ji Xun knew that his actions had awakened the person in deep meditation, and his breathing became slightly heavier.
Although I don’t know whether that senior is good or evil.
But this time he came for this person, and he had to face him after all.
He didn’t leave either.
And the good thing is that the guy was not awake when Ji Xun came in before, but now he is awake after taking out the things, which means that this method of casting stones to ask for directions is correct!
Just as Ji Xun nervously looked at the direction of the distant sound, a withered arm poked out from the pile of sand and gravel.
It was only then that Ji Xun realized that he hadn’t seen anyone just now.
But this senior was buried by the falling sand and gravel.
A hand stretched out, and then, like a zombie crawling out of a grave.
A little old man who was not too tall and skinny stood up.
He didn't even look at Ji Xun, his eyes had already seen the wine on the ground, "Oh, I haven't smelled this in many years."
It had been a long time since he spoke, and there was still a hint in his voice. The gravel stuck in the throat and made the throat hoarse.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of life in the old man's eyes, he would have been a mummy that had just been peeled out of the bandages.
But Ji Xun didn’t look down upon him at all.
In another place, this ordinary old man would definitely be ignored by others.
But here, he is still alive, which has proven that his strength is by no means ordinary.
