Chapter 247 The Bai Family’s Immortal Technique and the Immortal Family
Old Xu waited until Ji Xun and Song Yu arrived and didn’t even wonder why they were delayed.
An old-timer is not interested.
One is too young to understand.
Old man Xu just urged excitedly: "Let's keep walking. The front should be here soon. Oh, I can see the silver luster on the wall! It's definitely right!"
Under the illumination of the prospecting light, dots of metallic luster can already be seen on the rock wall of this tunnel.
The silver glow that is more charming than silver ore must be the mithril ore that can gather extraordinary elements.
And it seems to be of very high purity.
It was so high that even a piece of gravel picked up from the ground would weigh heavily on my hand.
Old man Xu casually put a few pieces of gravel in his backpack. With the harvest, he happily led the little turtle dove into the dark corridor.
Ji Xun, who was left behind, both looked at each other awkwardly. They had nothing to say in their hearts: Are you no longer observing?
They passed by the two fox fairies just now, and they were attacked.
Now Song Yu is still hiding behind and not daring to show his face.
But it seems that only two of them were affected.
Looking at the corridor of the two insect immortal statues in front of him, Ji Xun felt that something bad might happen to them.
But before looking further, Old Man Xu had already walked in.
The two statues were too high-end, and Ji Xun felt that he couldn't see anything special about them.
He smacked his lips, looked back at Song Yu behind him, and said in a slightly helpless tone: "Let's follow him too."
Rather than waste more time observing, it would be better to follow Old Man Xu The back of the thigh is safer.
Song Yu listened and responded in a low voice: "Oh."
The two of them followed suit.
With his previous experience, Song Yu walked even more cautiously.
Although she didn’t want to think about it, those charming scenes from before often appeared in her mind.
A blush appeared on her cheeks from time to time.
Originally, one can just think wildly, but the embarrassing thing is that the other person involved in the scene is right next to him.
The girl's heart was extremely tangled.
But Song Yu also knew that it was dangerous here, so he could only hide his pretty face in the darkness and muster the courage to follow closely.
The two did not speak, nor did they mention what happened just now.
Ji Xun also caught the abnormal fluctuations in the girl's energy beside him. He didn't say anything, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
His experience as a professional actor allows him to skillfully resolve various strange atmospheres in performances.
His calmness made the atmosphere between the two of them not awkward.
On the contrary, this quietness becomes a little subtle and friendly.
This made Song Yu feel gradually relieved.
The two walked in silence like this.
Ji Xun carefully observed his surroundings along the way.
Fortunately, the brightness of this corridor is very high, and there is no weird spiritual force field at all.
The journey was smooth.
Old man Xu was walking in the lead not far away. From time to time he picked up a piece of mithril and shouted, his voice resounding throughout the corridor.
But Ji Xun didn't think this was bad. On the contrary, it made people feel very safe.
The four of them walked a few hundred meters further. Except for four prospecting lights, it was pitch black in front and behind.
But gradually, some rustling sounds appeared in the darkness.
Ji Xun's hearing is very keen. He said in a serious tone: "Be careful. There seem to be a lot of insects coming from the gaps in the corridor."
The sound was dense and fine, not a large creature. , can only be bugs.
Hearing this, Old Man Xu muttered disapprovingly: "What's so strange about bugs in the cave?"
This sounded like an amateur hunter seeking death.
But Ji Xun felt relieved after listening to it.
If the old man knows everything, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
But Song Yu on the side became nervous when he heard this.
After all, she is a girl, and bugs and other things will always make people instinctively frightened.
And not long after, even without Ji Xun's reminder, others heard the "squeaking" and "hissing" sounds that made people's hair stand on end.
Ji Xun's expression became more and more solemn.
Because not only did he hear it, he could also see and smell all kinds of bugs.
[Skyfire Centipede], [Thunder Bug], [Frost Rotting Insect], [Corpse Beetle], [Ghost-Faced Thunder Moth].
Ji Xun identified some of the poisonous insects he had seen .
The huge number, just listening to it, made him feel that they were surrounded by a sea of insects.
However, the strange thing is that the insects that were attracted by the human scent like a tide did not come over.
It seemed to be isolated by some invisible barrier, more than ten meters away from the four people in front and behind.
This safe distance has always been maintained.
As we walked, the insects followed us all the way.
But they didn’t dare to attack.
Ji Xun also guessed that it was probably because of the old man Xu who led the way.
This old man seems to exude an aura that all insects are afraid of.
Discovering this, Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the four of them walked all the way down.
Old man Xu didn't care at all, and Little Turtle Dove didn't notice it at all. Only Ji Xun and Song Yu followed nervously.
As they were walking, the leader, Old Man Xu, suddenly stopped and muttered: "Hey, there is a statue here again."
After hearing this, Ji Xun and Song Yu realized Come, they have walked out of the insect tunnel.
Because at this time, two immortal statues with bird heads and human bodies appeared in front of the four people.
Is this coming out?
Ji Xun also felt that it was a bit too easy.
Song Yu on the side also let out a long breath.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that she was still holding Ji Xun's arm nervously, and she immediately wanted to shrink her hand.
But I felt it was too deliberate and made me look guilty.
Hey, hey, hey.
Why should I feel guilty?
It was obviously an accident.
In this stunned moment, Ji Xun noticed something, glanced at her, and smiled slightly.
There is a warmth like the spring breeze in that soft gaze.
Looking at the indifferent expression, Song Yu also pursed his lips, and then realized that Ji Xun seemed to be able to skillfully resolve the embarrassment.
Mr. Ji Xun didn’t take it to heart, as if I don’t need to care too much!
With this thought in mind, she continued to hold her arm openly.
Song Yu also gave himself a peaceful excuse. He was timid in the first place, and he was like this many times before.
Ji Xun didn't care at all, his eyes were on the two stone statues.
One is a crow-headed body, which looks a bit like a "duck-billed doctor", or the image of a messenger from hell described in some classics.
The other body seemed to have been damaged by external force, and the fragments fell to the ground.
Song Yu on the side explained: "This is another kind of fairy [Mingbird] of the Bai family. It is a divine bird that represents death and mystery; it is also a very important line in the inheritance of the Bai family."
That's it. As he said that, the little turtle dove squatting in the pile noticed something with his sharp eyes: "Look, there is a card here."
Ji Xun also looked over curiously.
Only then did I realize that Little Turtle Dove had picked up a dark card in his hand.
As soon as he touched it, the card actually lit up, with a pattern of a duck-billed doctor appearing on it, and a number "10" on the corner.
[10 of Spades-God Thief (Legendary)]!
Is this actually a demon mark?
"Eh"
Ji Xun also felt strange, why did a demon mark suddenly appear in a pile of broken stones?
Normally speaking, it is normal to appear on corpses
But then he suddenly reacted and thought to himself: "This is not the Suppressing Beast Seal Sculpture! They were living people before?!"
At this moment, Old Man Xu looked at the pile of rocks and seemed to have triggered a trigger Regarding any related memories, he suddenly spoke: "This Shinto secret technique is a bit interesting. When it comes to the level of incantation, it can already be regarded as an 'immortal technique'. Tsk tsk. Sacrificing oneself to create a statue of a god to suppress the seal has brought peace to hundreds of millions of living beings for three thousand years. , he has cultivated a lot of merit, and there is a chance that he can become a false god? "
Ji Xun felt that the old man said something that he did not understand. .
It seems to be different from the card master system.
He asked directly: "Senior, what's going on with this statue? Also, what's the secret of the Bai family's [God Thief] path?"
Ji Xun had learned about [Spade 10] before because of his curiosity. -God Thief】This special way.
But in Catalina's words, this is the exclusive sequence of the Bai family's secrets.
The outside world has almost never heard of anyone taking this career path.
There is very little information.
Even people at Katarina's level know very little.
This sequence is mysterious and special.
Everyone knows that the Bai family are all [God Thiefs], but strangely, the card master professions in this sequence are not unified.
The descendants of the Bai family have various professions.
Doctors, assassins, fighters, black knights, psychics. It’s all there.
The chosen occupation seems to be related to the Bai family's secret "Invitation to God" technique.
Furthermore, Ji Xun has seen with his own eyes that people from the Bai family can steal the power of gods and are not afraid of the contamination of their faith.
Ji Xun has long felt that this is like a low-end version of [JOKER].
They are not like Ji Xun himself who can choose career cards to advance at will, but they can also choose a certain sequence to advance.
And what is very strange is that the other fifty-one demon god sequences all point to ancient demon gods. But the Bai family is very strange.
What they are pointing to is some real "immortal families" who can even invite gods to come to their bodies.
For example, the "Fox Fairy" and "Insect Fairy" I have seen before, as well as the "Nether Bird" in front of me, and many strange fairy families.
No one understands what happened so far.
No one else could explain it, and Ji Xun could only hope for the person in front of him.
Sure enough, Old Man Xu knew.
He seemed to be immersed in some kind of state of perception and thinking. His turbid eyes became clear for a moment, and he talked eloquently: "Transforming the corpse god into the flesh, this is the path to the gods in the [God Thief] sequence. A kind of divine spell - corpse dissolution. In layman's terms, it is the use of spells to achieve the sublimation of life."
"."
Ji Xun listened carefully. .
But I’m pretty sure I didn’t understand.
Song Yu on the side blinked his watery eyes, his face full of pure question marks.
Old man Xu continued: "You don't need to understand what it is specifically, because human cognition cannot understand the existence of that kind of higher life form."
After a pause, he continued. : "The 'lich' in the magic civilization, the 'false god' in the Shinto civilization, the 'special curse spirit' mentioned by the card master, and the 'heroic god' in ancient mythology. These statements are all about this kind of existence. Description. The paths are different, and the names are different. But there is a directional term for this lineage, which is called "Xianjia", because the demon god pointed to by [Spade 10] is called [Xian]. The bloodline is somewhat similar to the psychic lineage. It is usually some powerful contracted creatures that serve as companion immortals and gain powerful combat power in addition to the main body. However, the contract partners chosen by the God Thief can absorb the incense of faith just like them. The existence of powerful evil spirits, or powerful spiritual creatures. They are not gods, but they have some abilities of gods. This is the so-called "immortal family". Different from the Shinto secret technique of the card master's extraordinary path, which relies on stealing the faith of the true god, this is the 'god thief's path'."
"That's it."
Ji Xunyi heard it. I instantly felt like I had learned a lot.
This [10 of Spades] sequence is not too high, but it actually has so many details.
Although he felt that there were many keywords that he did not understand accurately, he finally had some concepts.
As expected, none of the fifty-two demon god sequences is simple.
Each of the fifty-two demon gods has its own unique way of practice and extraordinary abilities.
And after hearing this, Ji Xun felt that it was a bit like his [JOKER] Retired career sequence.
No!
To be precise,
[JOKER] conforms to the occupational characteristics of all the fifty-two occupational sequences.
To be serious, any sequence is a step back from JOKER.
Old man Xu said a few words casually, but lost the intention to continue.
Listening to the disgusted tone, Ji Xun clearly felt that it was too advanced for you to understand.
The little turtle dove on the side didn’t understand at all.
While the three of them were talking, he took the devil's mark and looked at it over and over.
For a child from an ordinary family like him, the Devil's Mark has always been a "very valuable" treasure described by his parents.
If the hunters really get one, it will be a huge income.
But civilians have access to the best card, which is the "Golden Seal".
The mark of "legendary" quality in front of me is obviously beyond the scope of the little guy's understanding.
Just when he was looking at it, he suddenly dropped it on the ground as if it was hot to his hands, and exclaimed at the same time, as if he didn't understand what happened: "Ah!"
Ji Xun The three people also looked over.
Just as he was watching the light that just lit up on the card faded and then disappeared.
Seeing this, Ji Xun's expression was slightly different, and he understood something: "Haha, this little guy has a good chance."
The devil's mark is a very spiritual thing.
The power of the devil sealed in the card can feel the compatibility.
When it meets the right card master, it will have some reactions.
Seeing this legendary mark card light up in Little Turtle Dove's hand, Ji Xun also realized that this meant a high degree of compatibility.
Encountering a high-quality and highly compatible imprint is a dream situation for countless card masters.
Not to mention the legendary demon mark, it is really of immeasurable value.
At this moment, Little Turtledove didn’t realize how big of an opportunity he had gotten.
Looking at Sanshuang's eyes staring at him, he had an expression of being worried and at a loss as if he had done something wrong: "I, I."
Old man Xu spoke again, having regained his composure. He yelled with a snarling and arrogant temperament: "Oh, you little guy is so lucky. This is a very high-level devil's mark! You're rich!"
The more he said this, the more the little turtle felt that he had done something wrong, "Mr. Ji Xun, I...?"
After all, Ji Xun was the person he trusted the most, so he could only look at him asking for help. passed.
Ji Xun smiled faintly: "Keep it."
Little Turtle Dove also seemed to know that this was the mine discovered by the lady.
He remembered his father saying, take others Things can only be done with the permission of others.
He looked over again.
Song Yu also blinked and smiled, not minding at all.
“Oh”
After hearing this, the little turtledove dared to pick up the card again.
Then he carefully put it in his pocket.
Ji Xun looked thoughtful.
It looks like I picked it up casually, but in fact it is not easy.
Not to mention the difficulty and luck involved in finding this ruins, it is also extremely difficult to get here alive.
I haven’t met Ji Xun, I haven’t met Old Man Xu, and I don’t have Song Yu’s prospecting map. It won’t work.
But this little guy happened to meet them all.
This is his chance.
The reason why this stone statue broke into pieces is probably related to the golden skeleton that was encountered at the entrance of the cave before.
The four of Ji Xun picked up a card, but found nothing more.
The four of them continued walking forward.
As we walked along, the quality of the mithril ore on the surrounding rock walls became higher and higher.
It has even reached the point where the light shines on it and the stars are shining brightly.
Ji Xun was thinking about the two duck-billed statues as he walked, wondering what dangers there might be.
But the journey was still surprisingly smooth.
On the way, we encountered a few strange birds that looked like three-legged crows with red eyes.
But the crows just kept staring at the four people and showed no aggressive behavior.
Passed easily.
Probably because of Old Man Xu.
After walking this section, Ji Xun estimated that they had reached the very depths of the earth.
Stone sculptures appear again here.
This time there are many coiled snakes!
Ji Xun already knew that these stone carvings were the living transformations of the ancestors of the Bai family, so he had a little more respect.
But this time there is no tunnel behind the stone sculpture.
They have arrived at a huge underground space.
There is a complex of buildings here that look like ancient temples, with collapsed stone pillars everywhere.
The light shines through, and the eyes are filled with bright silver.
Mithril!
It’s all high-purity mithril!
As Old Man Xu said, because of the "gold accumulation effect", all the mithril in the nearby veins is gathered here.
Seeing this scene, Song Yu on the side covered her mouth and couldn't hide her surprise: "Oh my god."
Seeing this scene in front of her, she couldn't estimate the value of these mithrils. How terrifying.
But when Ji Xun saw the layout here, his eyes started to think deeply.
Because, he felt a familiar feeling.
Although the layout is different, this "metal cage" feeling full of mithril is very similar to the previous sealed scene underground in "Greed Mine".
Thinking of this, Ji Xun also carefully searched the huge temple.
As soon as he got close, he could smell it clearly. There was a strong and dizzying smell of blood in the air.
Qi Di also appeared immediately: "You are immune to the invasion of faith pollution from unknown sources."
Old man Xu also immediately stopped Little Turtle Dove and Song Yu beside him, and warned: "Don't get close. It's very dangerous inside. "
The first time Ji Xun saw Qidi, he also saw the source of the pollution, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
In the center of the temple where the heads of giant snakes are facing, there is a pyramid nearly thirty stories high.
What is strange is that bright red blood is gurgling in the gaps in the pyramid.
At this moment, the blood has formed a huge blood pool in the depression at the foot of the pyramid.
It still looks fresh.
Ji Xun sniffed the blood in the air, and his eyes narrowed: "Human blood?"
His first reaction was to think of those vampires who sacrificed blood to the entire city in Bolton Town. picture.
It seems to be correct.
What is sealed in this pyramid is the "source of pollution".
Looking at this blood-flowing posture, it doesn’t seem good.
Ji Xun has no idea in this kind of situation.
He looked at the old man Xu next to him who suddenly changed his temperament. A trace of expectation appeared in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "Did this old man remember some memories again?"
Ji Xun was no stranger to this state.
Last time in the underground palace of the ruins of Xia Mu City, Old Man Xu showed his power, and this was the state.
That time it was because I saw the stone tablet in the underground palace.
And in this temple, not far from the bleeding pyramid, there is also such an identical black obelisk erected!
Ji Xun now understands a little bit. What the old man is looking for seems to be this kind of black stone tablet.
The contents on the stone tablet seemed to evoke some of his memories.
