Chapter 264 The Treasure House of Shenxu

Chapter 264 The Treasure House of Shenxu

“Bang!”

“Boom!”

“Bang!”

“.”

The sounds of fighting are becoming more and more exaggerated.

This was the first time Ji Xun saw so many strong men fighting together.

The power of tearing apart heaven and earth is shocking.

In the dark ruins of the city, the realm of legendary card masters unfolded. They came like a demon god who controlled all things, and instantly controlled the elements of the world.

Storms and tornadoes, landslides, fire burning cities, and floods.

Various forbidden spell-level spells were cast frequently, like the roar of heaven and earth.

Red, yellow, green, and blue fields and spells are intertwined on the battlefield, making it look like clusters of nebulae colliding in the universe, shining brightly.

Every time they collide, the movement is as exaggerated as the destruction of stars, emitting strong and terrifying shock waves.

The buildings that were still standing in the ruins collapsed in large areas like mowing grass under the violent impact.

For a time, the whole city was trembling, and the air was filled with a lingering sense of oppression of death.

"Hiss"

Ji Xun took a breath while looking at the battle in the distance.

Even though he was a few blocks away, the storm brought by the shock wave blew against him, as cold as a knife.

Fortunately, Gong Wu had a keen sense and took him out of the core of the battlefield in advance.

Otherwise in this level of melee, high-level card masters would be cannon fodder.

The bad news is that there are really "super-level" monsters in this space.

But the good news is that those federal politicians brought a large number of high-level security guards. There are still those top card masters who are holding on, and they have also attracted the firepower of most of the super-level undead monsters in this dead city.

As soon as Gong Wu left, Ji Xun did not dare to stay where he was, or even dare to stay on the ground.

He decisively got into the sewer.

The layout of the ruins of Xinhuo City three thousand years ago is almost exactly the same as that of the original Innocence City.

There is a complex sewer pipe network extending in all directions underground in the city.

When he was a corpse collector, Ji Xun was already familiar with the underground pipe network in a large block near Downing Street.

He ran wildly in the maze-like sewer, almost exactly as in his memory.

And there is another most important reason for choosing this road, which is safety.

Although undead creatures have no memory of their lives, top card masters also have their own arrogance. Even if they are dead, they will instinctively refuse to go into the sewer to catch "rats".

He must get out of this dangerous neighborhood as soon as possible.

There are also many monsters in the sewers.

Mutated rats, spiders, grease monsters, multi-headed worms and other strange monsters, as well as some human undead.

There are many and chaotic.

However, the strength of undead monsters is directly related to the rank in front of them.

Most of the monsters in this sewer are only level one or two.

Although there are many, Ji Xun is not slow in killing them.

He did not dare to expose too much of the magic power, and there were six scalpels lingering around him.

Everywhere he passed, there were corpses.

Running all the way like this, Ji Xun avoided the area where the top powerhouses fought fiercely, and soon arrived at the Hongfan District in Dongcheng District without any danger.

There is a dense cluster of tube buildings here.

Although I don’t know what the situation was like in Xinhuo City three thousand years ago, it is still easy to distinguish the wealthy areas from the civilian areas through the style and density of the buildings.

Theoretically speaking, the number of high-level card masters in civilian areas is small, and there will be relatively few high-level undead monsters.

This neighborhood completely fits the characteristics of a slum.

Ji Xun’s judgment is also very accurate.

This allowed him to avoid the most deadly trouble.

He came to Tongzilou and started an operation to clear out monsters.

The undead monsters in the Tongzi Tower are very dense.

There are often thousands of ghouls in one building.

But the rank is very low.

The enchanted [Plague Doctor's Scalpel] is extremely sharp and can be used almost instantaneously.

Occasionally, if you encounter a disaster-level monster, six flying knives can instantly smash it into a sieve.

No matter how advanced he is, Ji Xun's perception of Qi is very keen, even surpassing that of most monsters of the same level, and he can skillfully avoid it.

There are still some evil spirits in this tube building.

Although Ji Xun doesn't have many means to deal with ghost monsters, with his current mental strength, as long as he doesn't encounter disaster-level evil spirits of level three or above, there won't be much of a problem.

And after touching the threshold of "meaning", he also found that the negative mental attacks commonly used by evil spirits had much less impact on his mind.

The level of evil spirits is not high, so there is nothing to fear.

In this way, he slaughtered all the way.

Normally speaking,

Although it is very efficient to use your mental power to control flying knives to brush low-level monsters, it still consumes your mental power.

You will always get tired.

However, the red moon in the sky helped a lot.

Ji Xun’s secret method of visualization is the “Sky Moon Divine Vision” of the Silver Moon Sect.

Moonlight is not a pollution to him, but a great benefit.

The moon in the sky is like a "wireless charging pile" hanging all the time.

Not only can the consumed mental energy be replenished at all times, but there is even a surplus for improvement.

From this aspect, Ji Xun even felt that the pollution caused by those in the Silver Moon Sect was actually a good thing.

Ji Xun just walked all the way, killing all the way.

[Devil’s Feast] now covers a large area, almost covering several floors.

Kill one group and devour another group.

Sweeping the building all the way.

Everywhere he passed, only large areas of shriveled corpses were left behind.

The most important thing about his ability to farm monsters in groups so smoothly is the feast.

The reason why the undead are difficult to deal with is that they are not easy to kill and can be resurrected at any time due to the death energy.

But Ji Xun directly absorbed all the extraordinary characteristics from the monster's corpse, leaving the monster with no possibility of resurrection.

Instead, these dead souls became the nourishment for him to improve his attributes.

Low-level corpses can absorb very few extraordinary characteristics.

But the number of thousands in one building is still considerable

together.

Ji Xun harvested all the way, always paying attention to the directions in the city where there were fierce battles.

"You used Feast Devouring, Constitution +0.022"

"You used Feast Devouring, Strength +0.015"

"Feast Devouring, Resilience +"

"."

Time passed quickly, more than twenty hours passed by.

Enlightenment has made me numb.

Ji Xun looked at his attribute panel. After absorbing it for a night, his attributes increased by several points, and the affinity of various elements and dark elements also increased significantly.

He was very familiar with the terrain in this nearby neighborhood, so he encountered no surprises at all.

When I was a little tired from the killing, I found a dilapidated building that could be entered and retreated to rest cross-legged.

Then continue killing.

But because he didn't know what was going on in this space, he didn't dare to make much noise.

The whole process is to brush mobs.

Because his intuition tells Ji Xun that this mysterious space cannot be exited by killing monsters.

He killed those undead monsters purely to absorb extraordinary characteristics.

However.

It wasn't until he had to kill the first level three disaster that enlightenment appeared.

He then realized that

this space was not simple.

A dilapidated small building has a ground floor and a sealed cement basement.

A tall zombie monster has turned into a pile of carrion and fallen to the ground.

Enlightenment Tips: "Successfully killed the 'Level 3 B Disaster - Carrion Licker' and obtained 'Temporary Comprehension +1'"

"There is still enlightenment?"

Ji Xun I'm really not sure if this is an extradimensional space.

And after looking at the properties panel, there is actually a temporary increase of "Intelligence +1" in the status bar.

What’s even more outrageous is what’s behind.

Ji Xun looked at the corpse and suddenly a book floated on it.

This corpse also exploded.

The booklet says [Secret Technique: Bird Song Strike].

It's not a skill card, but a skill book directly exploded.

The secret skill is less rare than the mystery level, but it is still considered a rare item.

Ji Xun picked up the book and looked at it. It actually recorded a rare sonic spell practice book.

He looked a little weird in his heart and thought: "In other words, this space encourages people inside to kill monsters and get rewards?"

There was no explosion before, could it be that they were killing monsters? The reason for being too weak?

The third level can reveal secret skills.

What about those super-level monsters?

Is it possible that he can also unleash super-level card master skills?

In an instant, countless thoughts came to my mind.

"Why does it feel like this space is some kind of 'trial ground' or 'land of inheritance' or something like that?"

At this moment, Ji Xun somewhat understood the nature of this space.

But the problem still arises. Even if I continue to kill monsters, I can't get out.

Ji Xun put away the secret skill book and came to the ground.

The red moon in the sky still emits a strange red light.

Those people from the Silver Moon Sect must want to collect as much power of faith as possible, and then fiddle with some old god’s evil magic.

The vampires of the Bloody Sect don’t know what they are doing.

But the situation is probably not good either.

The undead monsters all over the city not only attack the living people, but the believers of the old gods will also be attacked.

Mushroom Head brought these people in because he wanted the monsters to be cleared away.

Ji Xun didn't want to worry about that, and he didn't want to worry about it.

The battle continues, and fire can be seen everywhere at the end of the field of vision.

But it has calmed down a lot since the beginning.

This time, millions of people from Innocence City were brought in, and the battle did not end so quickly.

He just happened to be a little tired from the previous battle, so he planned to take a rest.

Not long after meditating cross-legged, he suddenly opened his eyes in surprise.

“Hey, this ‘Intelligence +1’ ​​temporary gain is quite useful!”

He himself has the blessing of JOKER and mask, and his understanding is already very high.

If it's higher, sometimes it's the difference between 59 points and 60 points, which is a complete qualitative change.

I just casually understood the secret techniques I have mastered, and found that my thinking is much smoother.

“If there were more of this kind of comprehension gain state and a comprehension superposition, wouldn’t it be easier to learn anything?”

Ji Xun seemed to have suddenly found an opportunity for a bug.

His progress in understanding the magical mysteries is slow, and all of them require a high level of understanding to understand.

Now there is a shortcut in this secret space, why not try it?

Since he could not die for the time being, Ji Xun immediately took action.

Not long after, Ji Xun attracted two disaster-level monsters that he had deliberately avoided before to a hidden place and killed them.

Qidi appeared twice and got two secret books.

“Kill ‘Level 3 Disaster Nightmare Wolf Spider’, obtain ‘Temporary Luck +1’, and obtain ‘Secret Technique·Spider Web Technique’”

"Kill the 'Level 3 Disaster: Colorful Poison Zombie' and obtain the "Detailed Explanation of Research on One Hundred Toxins"

Although there is no "Comprehension" gain.

But this time, Ji Xun was determined.

An important function of this space: inheritance.

He also roughly determined another condition.

It’s not that low-level monsters don’t explode things.

But you can only kill disasters of the same level as yourself before they appear.

Thinking about it this way, the disaster-level monster is 100% sure to reveal the extraordinary tome.

This is even more exaggerated than the highly difficult extra-dimensional space.

And following this direction, if you really want to kill those ultra-level monsters, you will definitely get books related to ultra-level card masters.

"Is this the legacy left deliberately by Grand Master Talun?"

Ji Xun seemed to suddenly understand some of the causes and consequences.

He learned from Jia Yu that three thousand years ago, Great Master Talun burned all extraordinary books in order to cut off the pollution of faith.

That’s why the card master civilization in the Eastern Continent declined.

Looking at it now, it turned out that there was still a backup plan.

This secret realm stores countless card master knowledge.

Ji Xun thought about what Nan Jing had told him before, that the inheritance method of the Oran High Priest's lineage was a special secret technique similar to the "Initiation Technique". Why does it feel a bit similar to the existence of this secret realm?

Countless ancient card master knowledge is stored, waiting for people to develop it and inherit it.

“That’s it.”

Ji Xun already understood.

Thinking about it, just saying that this secret realm is used to ambush those believers of the old gods is really underestimating the layout of the mushroom head.

That guy wants to discover a secret realm of inheritance that affects the entire card master civilization!

While Ji Xun was deep in thought, suddenly, there was another drastic change in the world.

The scarlet city he had originally seen seemed to be lit up by mysterious power at this moment, suddenly glowing with brilliance.

The whole world seemed to be waking up from a long dark night.

Light has returned.

This was the second time I saw it, and the bright scene was still shocking.

The sun is high in the sky again.

“The sun comes out again?”

Ji Xun looked up and stared with squinted eyes.

I saw the big sun hanging high in the sky, emitting a warm light, like the source of life.

As the sunlight fell, a warm current surged through his body, and the strange and suffocating haze and cold were swept away.

The surrounding city streetscape has also changed from a lifeless ruin to the prosperous and lively Xinhuo City three thousand years ago.

The monster disappeared and became a living person.

The fighting stopped immediately.

In various corners of the distant city, the surviving humans all breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the legendary strong man, who has been working without sleep for more than twenty hours, can finally take a breather from his tense nerves.

Ji Xun felt inexplicably relieved.

He jumped down from the building.

He had killed all the monsters around him, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

Walked over and asked.

I found that these "people" were like dull NPCs in the game, completely unresponsive.

Ji Xun didn’t waste much time.

Instead, he walked to the buildings with written records, trying to find some documents from the ancient Talon Dynasty.

The harvest is not bad either.

Although the NPCs are not very intelligent, there are still many places where there are documents.

Without much effort, Ji Xun found some extraordinary books in some houses.

But there are not many slums here.

But he didn’t dare to go anywhere else.

Because he felt that "The Sun" might not last long.

His situation is not bad.

If it is other survivors, they should be thinking about finding a safe place as soon as possible and wait for the night to fall again.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, the sky suddenly turned dark.

The sun went out again.

The whole city became that dead city again.

Ji Xun returned to the broken building.

He originally wanted to find a few buildings to kill monsters, explode some tomes, and clear out a safe area.

But at this moment, I saw a group of people running over in a hurry.

"The Red Zone is a slum area, and the monsters should not be strong. This is already one of the safest places in the city."

"Look, there aren't many monsters in this neighborhood?"

"The situation is a bit weird, be careful! There may be high-level monsters nearby"

"."

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows as he listened to the exchanges between those people.

He was not the only one who thought of finding a safe area.

These guys probably came from the dangerous area when the sun came out.

Ji Xun had no intention of paying attention at first.

With more of these people, there will be more targets for monsters to attract, which is troublesome.

He planned to change places.

However, after taking a glance, I found that there were several acquaintances in this group of people.

That fat man in a suit being supported by a woman while running, who is he if he's not Song Can?

That beautiful woman is Monica, the chief dancer of the Royal Dance Company, whom the fat man cannot woo.

There is also a girl with waterfall-like blond hair who is calm in the face of danger. Isn’t it Catalina?

Both Song Can and Catalina are friends.

Now that they have met, Ji Xun has no intention of ignoring them.

He also happened to want to ask them about the fighting situation there.

When Ji Xun came to this point, he leaned lazily on the wall of the ruins and guided: "Don't go over there, you guys. There is a fourth-level disaster in the ruins."

This The sudden sound startled the dozen or so people on the street.

They looked up and found a young man on the dilapidated building.

Ji Xun did not hide his face. He thought that Catalina and Song Can would say hello when they met acquaintances.

Unexpectedly, the group of people all took out weapons and guns, pointing at him nervously.

Ji Xun had a question mark on his face: What's going on? ? ?

But looking at the surprised and suspicious expressions of Catalina and Song Can, I immediately guessed that something might have happened.

He took the initiative to ask: "Miss Carter, Song Can, how are you doing?"

As he said that, he jumped down.

Nothing felt threatening.

Because he also saw from the "qi" of this group of people, there was not even a fourth-level card master among these dozen people.

Where are those high-level guards?

There must be something wrong if you didn’t follow.

The others also recognized the acquaintance on the wanted list.

But no one said anything.

Everyone is very embarrassed now, but this guy looks not only not injured at all, but also very relaxed?

It’s strange no matter how you look at it.

Song Can was originally timid and afraid of death. When he saw Ji Xun, his eyes lit up and he greeted him more affectionately than others: "Brother Ji Xun?"

Katrina was too cautious. , asked in a deep voice: "Are you really Ji Xun?"

What is truth?

Ji Xun noticed the problem: "What happened?"

Katrina listened cautiously and asked without answering: "When was the last time we met?"< br>
Ji Xun knew the code as soon as he heard it, and responded without thinking: "Lion City Railway Station."

"Hu"

When Catalina heard this, the solemn expression on her expression relaxed.

She confirmed, and in front of her was Ji Xun.

And Ji Xun also guessed that there might be another "Ji Xun" when she asked.

After it was confirmed that Ji Xun was a human, Catalina and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

They were walking and chatting.

"What happened?"

"You didn't meet 'your shadow'?"

"What is a shadow?"

"."

"It's your copy. This space will copy an exact copy of you, except for memory and combat power. It follows you like a ghost. You can only kill it yourself. Otherwise, you will be killed. .”

"Ah?"

"It should be a trial. After killing it, you will gain some martial arts or extraordinary knowledge that suits you."

"."
< br>Ji Xun listened to the descriptions of Catalina and others and immediately understood.

It turns out that this secret realm also has this function.

Killing your own shadow can reveal exclusive rewards, which is a test of inheritance.

In the dilapidated building, a group of young people who had been frightened all day and night collapsed on the ground, and each of them dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally they have a place where they can rest peacefully.

They took out food to eat, and also took out potions to treat their injuries.

Although these people who survived were not of high rank, their clothing, bearing and strength were not weak.

He looks like a direct descendant of a noble family.

Although the situation is very bad, everyone is still calm.

Most of these people didn’t know Ji Xun.

Ji Xun didn’t want to pay attention to them.

But they were curious as to why there were no monsters in a large area of ​​tube buildings nearby.

"It's strange, why are there no monsters here?"

"It's really lucky that we found such a good place."

"Yes. If only we could find such a place before , my father, sister and guards will not die either."

"."

The corpses were refreshed.

These people really thought he was just lucky.

Ji Xun didn’t intend to explain.

Katrina, her old friend, knew it very well. She guessed what it was and asked softly: "Did you kill him?"

Ji Xun shrugged noncommittally.

Katrina looked at Jing's eyes and didn't ask any more questions.

This guy always does something unexpected.

She continued her previous question: "How come you didn't meet the 'Shadow'?"

Ji Xun didn't know, so he asked: "Under what conditions did you meet him?"

Katrina thought about it for a moment and said: "It was when we were breaking through that it suddenly appeared. Because everyone would have a 'shadow', no one dared to stay with the high-level card master. So we Separated."

Ji Xun suddenly caught something: "You mean you suddenly appeared when you were fighting?"

Catalina nodded: "Yeah."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he was already a little certain in his heart.

On my way here, I almost always used flying knives to kill monsters, and I never used my full strength at all.

Ji Xun thought: So, the condition for triggering the 'shadow' is that you have to take action with all your strength?

The two of them were already very familiar with each other when they went on adventures together before. Catalina looked at his expression of deep thought with a vague sense of foreboding.

Ji Xun asked again: "What did you get by killing your 'shadow'?"

Katrina said: "One side of the law is very consistent with mine. "Secret volume'."

As she spoke, the corners of her eyes twitched: "You don't want to draw out your 'shadow'?"

No need to ask, this is what she said about this old friend. Understood, this is definitely the idea.

Others avoid him, but this guy has the personality to do it.

Just like last time in Summer Ranch, it was easier to clear the level by going back in time, but this guy just left some useless information in pursuit of excitement.

Katerina thought of this and glanced at him faintly, without persuading her, she just said: "This secret realm is very special, don't mess around."

Ji Xun smiled and said nothing. , an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked: "Do you know where this place is?"

Others don't know, and this well-informed and knowledgeable lady from the Lionheart family may not know it.

Sure enough, Catalina's crystal eyes reappeared, and she said with a solemn tone: "Maybe it's the 'Inherited Divine Void'."

She didn't say this to anyone.

But he didn’t hide it from Ji Xun.

She continued: "I have seen a statement from ancient books. It is said that the Talon Dynasty has an inherited artifact called the [Shenxu Treasure House]. This artifact is said to be a secret realm similar to an extradimensional space. Inside "The Talon Dynasty has collected all the extraordinary inheritance about the Ka Master civilization"

Katerina's vision is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Although she didn't know before that this was the Light Chaser's plan.

But in fact, she had already smelled a conspiracy when she heard that the grandmother of the Song family had passed away and many big figures gathered in Innocence City.

That’s why she replaced her grandfather and came here by herself.

She saw the Light Chasers and Vampires in Hong Tower before, and she also spied on most of this game.

Although this put herself in a desperate situation, Catalina did not complain at all.

because.

If she were in that situation, she would make the same choice without hesitation!

If the hidden dangers of the Old God Sect can be solved, these sacrifices will definitely be worth it!

“.”

When Ji Xun heard it, it was no wonder.

He had made speculations about this before when the monster revealed those classics.

Now that he heard this, he was almost certain that this secret realm was not a place of death, but a great opportunity at the civilization level.

And his intuition told Ji Xun that wanting to get out alive might have something to do with the "Shadow Trial".
