Chapter 16: The Ninth Month
Naturally, the loot of the A-class calamity explosion will not disappoint.
However, this time the monster did not explode any materials, but all the energy of the corpse was gathered into a card.
Not a one-time skill card, but a practice card.
The front of the card is a black monster with a silver pentagram on the back.
γSkill: Shadow Stealthγ
Details: Silver skill training card, requires a dark affinity of 15, and after fusion, master Shadow Submarine (Lv0), you will have the ability to blend into darkness;
The mechanical arm girl looked at this card and exclaimed softly: "Huh... It turned out to be a practice card. β
Ji Xun looked stunned again.
He understood the words, but where did he understand the true value of the card.
The mechanical arm girl seems to have gotten used to his ignorance that he reveals from time to time.
This guy is obviously very smart, but he doesn't seem to know a lot of common sense.
Oh!
This kind of cultivation card is not accessible to low-level hunters at all, and it is normal to be surprised for a while.
She explained: "This legend is a card imprinted by the ancient spell card master Shennian, and the probability of appearing is extremely low, even lower than the Yaoyin material. It is more efficient than martial arts cheats, and no matter who you are, as long as you meet the conditions for fusion, you can directly master this skill. It is also one of the most sought-after goods in the upper class and is very valuable. And this [Dark Stealth] should be a lost assassin secret art, at least I haven't seen it, so it's best not to sell it easily. β
β...β
Ji Xun only understood when he listened.
This is the invisible ghost body method of the previous monster, which can hide the real body in the shadows. If the assassin profession really has mastered it, whether it is to save his life or assassinate, it will indeed have a miraculous effect.
Ji Xun also felt that it was amazing, he didn't need to practice hard to master the skills, and directly engraved the soul.
This thing is really attractive enough for the rich.
Saying that, the girl handed him the card without hesitation, and said, "I'm not taking the assassin professional route, this card is of little use to me." β
"Then you're welcome."
Ji Xun glanced at her and put it away without hesitation.
My teammates are unwilling to take advantage, and I have seen and understood this before.
And she said it was worth it, it must be worth it.
But when I looked at myself, the dark affinity value was only 1.
It's too early to blend this card.
In addition to this cultivation card, another mediocre black card appeared on the monster.
The card has no effect at all, just two lines:
"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss will stare back at you."
"Before the dawn comes, someone will illuminate the darkness."
Ji Xun looked at the cards, and faintly felt as if he was prompting something, and said, "This should be the last 'key' to clear the customs." β
It's not like killing monsters before and bursting out of skill cards.,Can kill the boss of the next level.γ
This time, the card is only two sentences.
The girl with the mechanical arm pondered for a moment, but she didn't understand what this card was for, she could only ask: "What does this card mean?" β
Ji Xun: "Clues." β
β...β
The girl with the mechanical arm was speechless: Of course I know it's a clue, the key is a clue to what it points to!
"I don't know."
Ji Xun understood her expression and spread his hands.
He really didn't know, and asked a little helplessly: "You don't think I know everything, do you?" β
The girl with the mechanical arm didn't speak, but the atmosphere had already come here, and her expression gestured again: Didn't you show it along the way?
It seems that there is a kind of habitual thinking, and when encountering a puzzle, this guy will always decipher it from a tricky angle.
Ji Xun guessed her thoughts, smiled and shook his head.
He said: "It's like playing a puzzle game, the mastermind behind the scenes is afraid that you won't find the answer to clear the level, so he deliberately left clues; And I'm afraid that the clues are too obvious, so the clues are obscure. It doesn't dawn on you until you need a certain moment. This kind of guillotine clue is absolutely impossible for you to guess its intention as soon as you get it. β
This statement is obviously convincing, and the expression of the girl with the mechanical arm under the gas mask also approves.
Ji Xun thought about it and said, "We should be going to the last level." Often, the final level is either the most difficult or unexpected. β
As he spoke, he looked at the cards and added, "Now it seems that it should be the latter." β
The girl with the mechanical arm didn't speak, looking at the two lines on the card, thoughtful.
......
The two packed up their loot and continued to walk deeper into the lab.
It seems that as Ji Xun guessed, they are about to face the last hurdle. So after killing the [Shadow Fiend], I didn't encounter any threatening aberrant creatures.
Some scattered mobs occasionally run out of the corner of the laboratory, and the mechanical arm girl can always detect it in advance and kill it easily.
The two walked along, and Ji Xun suddenly spoke: "By the way, take the liberty of asking, Miss... What do you call it? β
The two of them never asked each other's names from beginning to end, but thinking that they had shared hardships, he asked casually.
β...β
Hearing this, the girl with the mechanical arm walked by herself and did not respond.
Just when Ji Xun thought that the other party didn't want to take care of himself, he suddenly heard her respond lightly: "The ninth day of the first month." β
Ji Xun pondered: "The ninth day of the first month? β
Obviously not a serious name, but a code name.
But it doesn't matter, it's better than what to call a mechanical arm girl.
Ji Xun also introduced himself: "Ji Xun." It's a pleasure to meet you. β
Chu Jiu listened to it and was silent.
Ji Xun didn't care.
Although his teammate is a little colder, he is still a good person.
The two continued to walk into the depths.
......
After all, the laboratory had an end, and it wasn't long before they came to a rusted elevator.
"Someone has moved the elevator."
"Well, it should be the mercenaries from before."
The two checked the passage, and after finding no danger, they took the elevator.
Now, no matter how you look at it, this is the road to the exit.
It's like one of those mine elevators that have been abandoned for decades, rusty, creaking on the way up, and making people afraid of whether they will fall suddenly.
Fortunately, there were no surprises, and after climbing more than twenty floors, they reached the top of the elevator.
After walking through a narrow passage, they came to a wonderful mirror world.
The floor is white, and the ceiling and walls are covered with mirrors of all sizes.
Without sensing the monster's aura, the two walked in.
At first, it was just a few simple mirrors, but later, there were more and more mirrors.
They saw countless selves, strange selves, and countless pairs of staring eyes...
There are many strange lights in the mirror, suspicion, stupidity, anger, caution, fear, desire... In the mirror, they seem to see everything inside themselves.
There are also distorted mirror images, which are distorted desires.
"Tsk, that's interesting..."
Ji Xun walked forward steadily.
Others may still be uncomfortable looking at so many mirrors, but he is used to it.
The picture in my mind at every moment is like this, countless of myself quarreling again.
Now seeing the mirror, Ji Xun doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.
But Chu Jiu beside him didn't know what he saw in the mirror, and his breath was obviously a little disordered.
Fortunately, Ji Xun saw her abnormality and patted her shoulder: "Let's go." β
Chu Jiu only came back to his senses from that nightmarish state.
This "mirror house" doesn't seem to be difficult, and I don't know what to test.
The two walked all the way.
Suddenly, it came to an end.
Chu Jiu was shocked: "Dead end? Maze? β
She was thinking about what she had done wrong before, but she didn't think that Ji Xun's pupils narrowed slightly, but she said, "No." We're here. β
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding mirror light dissipated like a tide.
Looking again, the two had already appeared in a closed iron cage.
Enlightenment appears: "Enter the unknown space, discover a special hidden main story, +5% exploration"
