Chapter 55: The Outrageous Combat Power of the Ninth Month

Not long after running, Ji Xun found that this underground palace seemed to be a "hollow-shaped" underground palace structure.

The area is huge.

But it's also limited.

Ji Xun and the three of them didn't try to run the entire dungeon.

You don't have to walk around to guess that there are still some [Secret Keepers] wandering around some corners of this dungeon.

The three of them followed the traces of the battle on the ground, passed through a corridor, and came to a secret room full of broken bones.

Spatially, this is the most central location of the underground palace.

Looking at the various patterns and mysterious symbols carved on the walls, Ji Xun immediately realized that this was the final exit recorded in the adventurer's notes.

Ji Xun looked at the broken bones all over the ground and muttered: "The skeleton monsters have been cleaned up, this is troublesome..."

According to the adventurer's diary, there should have been a lot of elite skeletons near this secret room.

It's also tricky for low-level spell card masters.

But now it's all broken bones.

The [Necropolis Labyrinth] is an extradimensional space with a low level of catastrophic transformation, and the strongest skeleton monster is at most at the level of a second-order calamity.

A third-order elite frost knight is naturally killing indiscriminately.

That guy has been here for two or three days just now, and he won't suppress the San value, and the monster has been pumping a lot, so he can only clean it up.

This is convenient for Ji Xun and the three of them.

The only pity is that high-level spell card masters come to farm low-level dungeons, and almost no materials and cards will be produced.

Even if you can really get out, the settlement evaluation will be very low.

It's a pity that the Silver Skull Commander is all over the ground.

In the corner, you can also see the collapse marks of someone sitting on a broken bone, and I think this secret room is also the hiding place of the Frost Knight for the past few days.

Chu Jiu didn't sense that there was a [Secret Keeper] near the secret room, thinking that it was that guy who pulled the monster away.

Don't think about it, there's no safer place in the dungeon.

After looking around, he said, "Let's just wait here." ”

You can't hide from it.

It's better for them to choose a place to relax.

Chu Jiu nodded, "Hmm." ”

Fall back into the zigzag maze, and if you run down, you will either encounter a monster or hit that frost knight.

There's no need to keep running away, just wait here.

......

Chu Jiu's injury has not fully recovered, and after coming in, he found a place to meditate cross-legged, and he also brewed a big move.

And Nan Jing knew that he couldn't help much, rummaging through the pile of skeletons, trying to find some materials to make psychic skeletons, just in case of emergency.

Ji Xun entered this dimly lit secret room, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the stone carvings on the walls.

He shone on the lamp, taking a closer look at the carvings.

The carvings in this chamber are the most numerous and complex in the entire labyrinth, and the amount of information is also the largest.

These carved patterns, which to others were mysterious symbols, had become intermittent and decipherable words in his eyes.

Although it can't be fully translated, the combination of pictures and texts can also half-guess and understand the general meaning.

Judging from the mural stone carvings seen outside, it should be a huge mausoleum built by a certain king of the ancient Talan.

And this labyrinth is only the entrance level of the mausoleum.

There is not much information about the mausoleum on the frescoes.

But Ji Xun looked at it, looked up, looked up at the core position above his head, and saw the mysterious symbol again". ☾

It's just a simple moon symbol, but it's like magic, and it vaguely touches a certain instinct that goes straight to the depths of the soul, awakening the terrifying memories in the bloodline.

It was a feeling that cannot be described in words.

Seems... I saw an indescribable god.

When I was in the cellar of Tailor Street, I felt the same way.

In order to avoid being polluted by some mysterious forces, Ji Xun immediately put on a clown mask.

But this is only an extradimensional space after all, and some things are not as real as the real thing.

After looking at it, I didn't find any hints of "old miracles".

Looking at the four stone pillars around it, the distribution position is also very subtle, as if it is in a certain formation.

The carving depicts a priest in a robe performing a mystical ritual. Although the priests had different directions of worship, they all came together towards the moon symbol on the central ceiling.

Ji Xun looked at the patterns of the corpses that were hung and sacrificed, and he was familiar with them, and said in his heart: "Isn't this the previous tailor street cellar, the ritual of skinning and sacrificing?" ”

The moment he saw these stone carvings, he had a faint flash of inspiration.

But what is the purpose of this sacrificial ritual?

Is this trying to communicate with some old god?

Or pray for strength?

He didn't find the exact answer in the engraving.

Moreover, although the card master borrowed the power of demons, he did not have a belief in gods. Therefore, in Ji Xun's impression, the families of the ancient gods and the old sects are similar to rats in the sewers in the eyes of hunters, they are all a group of crazy and extreme aliens.

Ji Xun didn't look at those sacrificial ceremonies, his first task now was to find a way out.

But there are so many carvings in this secret room that I won't be able to finish it for a while.

Before he could finish reading, there was the sound of clattering armor rubbing in the empty corridor.

Chu Jiu, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted softly: "It's here." ”

Ji Xun was not surprised.

The Frost Knight is here.

......

Even if he is weak and injured, the sense of oppression of the third-order spell card master is also full.

The three of them watched as the frost knight in white armor walked into the secret room, step by step, the iron armor clanged.

The aggressive momentum pressed down, like a mountain falling.

Ji Xun had a feeling that his breathing was stagnant, but there was a cold glow hidden in his eyes.

Obviously, the intentions are not good.

It was like a sick tiger seeing three rabbits, and his eyes were still sharp in the T-shaped gap of the iron helmet, and he did not hide the contempt in his eyes at all.

The class concept of this world is very strong, and the nobles and commoners are basically people from two worlds, not to mention the exiled sinners of the City of Innocence.

In the eyes of the Frost Knight, the people of the lower city are like monsters in the sewers, as if the air will be dirty if they are in the same room.

This is contempt for strength and status.

It is also the arrogance that has been engraved in the bones of the aristocracy for thousands of years.

Glancing at the three of them, a small character dressed as a corpse collector and two card masters dressed as adventurers were not worth mentioning.

The Frost Knight didn't mean to talk nonsense at all, and asked in a condescending tone, "How did you get here?" ”

He didn't even care who those three were.

The tone of the tone was not disguised in the slightest hint of threatening murderous intent.

Ji Xun naturally understood this threat, and pretended to tremble: "I... We found an adventurer's diary, and it just so happened that we knew a little bit about puzzle solving... I found it here. ”

Frost Knight listened, and immediately felt that the notes might be the key to getting out!

He couldn't wait, and said in a commanding tone: "Give me the notes!" ”

Ji Xun also handed over the notes in the backpack on his waist very familiarly.

The Frost Knight got his notes, heavy iron gloves that could hold a sword, but couldn't turn over thin pages.

He stood his sword beside the stone pillar beside him, unfastened his iron gloves, and still held the mysterious box in one hand, and opened the notes with one hand.

This look instantly dawned in my heart.

With so many people coming in, there are always a few shit lucky people who survive.

Like himself.

And the three people in front of me who found this note.

But after looking at it, Frost Knight also found that there seemed to be no way to write it down based on the contents of the notes alone.

He frowned, turned his face and asked, "Can you solve the riddle?" ”

Ji Xun responded timidly: "Hmm." It was we who noticed that the maze passage was moving, and then we followed the prompts on the note and ran in. ”

Ji Xun said this just to give this guy a psychological hint: We are all your hope to go out.

After a real fight, the other party will never dare to kill at the first time.

As a last resort, this guy will never kill his only hope of survival.

Only those who have experienced despair will see a glimmer of hope, even if it is a straw, they will firmly grasp it in their hands.

The Frost Knight couldn't hold back the urgency in his heart to leave the labyrinth, so he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Have you found any way to get out?" ”

Ji Xun said bluntly: "I found a clue. ”

This is also true.

The perception of the third-order spell card master is extremely keen, if it is completely false, no matter how clever his acting skills are, it is impossible to deceive.

When the Frost Knight heard this, his heart was full of anticipation, and he immediately asked, "How do you get out?" ”

Ji Xun pointed directly to the carving on the ceiling and said, "This is a sacrificial ritual that points to the old gods. And the clue given by the space is that the pit killed 300,000 craftsmen. I suspect that the death of the craftsman may also have something to do with the sacrifice of the old god. So my guess is that those craftsmen might have left some clues in these stone carving symbols to get out..."

That's true.

It was originally the most likely idea for Ji Xun to break the game at present.

"Sacrifice?"

When Frost Knight heard this, he immediately felt that his thoughts had suddenly opened up.

He instinctively wanted to look up at the symbols on the ceiling.

However, although the T-shaped design of the helmet has excellent protection, the field of vision is also greatly limited.

It is very difficult to look up to see what is overhead.

Instinctively, he had to take off his helmet to get better vision.

But it was the moment the hand was on the helmet, and it stopped for a moment.

I have to say that the intuition of the third-order spell card master is still very keen.

As if realizing something, he squinted and coldly warned, "Boy, you'd better not play any tricks." ”

Ji Xun's expression was full of panic when he listened, and his acting skills were flawless.

His position is also very clever to block this guy's view of Chu Jiu and Nan Jing, so as not to reveal flaws.

Don't look at this frost knight is arrogant, but in fact, he is also very cautious.

The coercion released before actually tested the strength of the three again, and even if he found that the strength of the three was not worth mentioning, he was not careless, and kept a safe distance from beginning to end.

Frost Knight had a vague sense of something, though.

But at this moment, the urgency to survive suppresses everything.

He still pulled the mechanism in the armor, and with a click, the helmet opened, revealing a face full of fierceness.

In his eyes, these three people can be killed with a backhand.

He would never have thought that a first-order card master would be stupid enough to dare to pay attention to himself.

Unable to restrain himself from his helmet, the Frost Knight looked up to see the mysterious symbols that had not been seen at all before.

didn't know that this was what Ji Xun deliberately led him to do!

......

Almost the moment the Frost Knight took off his helmet and raised his head, Ji Xun suddenly pulled out and retreated.

At the same time, the ninth day of the first month also started!

But how sharp is the battle instinct of a third-order spell card master?

The frost knight immediately sensed the intention of the little card apprentice beside him to retreat, and sneered in his heart: I can't help myself!

Thinking that this guy was the key to getting out, he didn't make a ruthless move, and raised his hand to grab it, wanting to capture it.

Until this moment, he didn't dare to be ruthless.

I thought about catching it and breaking a leg to teach me a lesson...

However, as soon as he wanted to make a move, he strangely found that his body slowed down for a moment, and his heart was instantly alert: "Huh... Telekinesis attack? ”

But that mental power was not enough to stop his movements, but it really limited it for a moment.

Is this something that a first-order card master can do?

The Frost Knight sensed that something was wrong and tilted his head sharply.

He didn't pay attention to Ji Xun who was running away, but looked at Chu Jiu, who had already attacked.

I don't know why, looking at this first-order spell card master, the contempt in the frost knight's heart was swept away, and his scalp was instinctively tingling.

But his battle instinct also made him react immediately, a pair of big hands reached out, and in an instant, his body suddenly burst into a light blue ice spell, and the whole person immediately became cold.

Even though the mana of the continuous battle was almost exhausted, it was still more than enough to kill a first-order card master.

The frost knight thought that he could subdue this incompetent guy in an instant, but he didn't want to be the next moment, his face changed drastically!

Chu Jiu has been secretly preparing for a long time, and if there is a sneak attack, how can he miss?

.......

The Frost Knight's advanced path is the order path [6 of Spades - Punishment Iron Guard], which focuses on a control counterattack. With the Cao family's secret ice-based silver quality breathing method [Frost Strength], it can control and fight.

This is also the best match that has been precipitated and sharpened by countless frost knight predecessors for thousands of years.

Normally, the enemy is stuck with the frost mana, and there is no way to escape.

The legion's large-scale control of the field is a nightmare for the enemy.

However, what he never expected was that his high-level ice mana did not stick to the first-order card master?

Didn't wait for him to figure out why.

Almost at the moment of the outburst, he saw that the mysterious girl in the sackcloth cloak suddenly changed her momentum, and her hair turned into silver hair in a blink of an eye. The hand knife that lingered in a layer of invisible stance had already appeared in front of him, and the silver glittering card that ejected from the air also temporarily shone brightly.

The Frost Knight's eyes finally showed a hint of horror.

With his own rank suppression, theoretically any spell card master below the third order will be greatly limited.

But the other party's cold is actually suppressed at the level of the law?

He immediately realized that there was something wrong with the girl in front of him!

When he saw that the pattern on the card was a distorted human face, he was even more shocked: the second-order mystic card [Arcane Will Collapse]!

This kind of second-order arcane card, the second-order mystic spell card master may not be able to use it freely.

She was a first-order spell card master who activated it in an instant?

As the knight captain of the Cao family, he knows a lot of high-end secrets.

Seeing the current situation, he suddenly thought of a possibility: "You are the one...!" ”

Being able to suppress his third-order ice mana with first-order mana at the law level, the only possibility that this frost knight could think of was that the quality of this girl's fusion demon mark was much higher than his own.

He is the Silver Mark of Fusion, that is to say, the Demon Mark of the other party's fusion is at least of legendary quality!

And almost every legendary card has a big history.

Ice-based, but also telekinesis attacks...

In Innocence City, there's only that S-Class wanted criminal!

The Frost Knight was also shocked, he never expected that the person he would meet casually in the maze would be the guy with a great background.

However, Chu Jiu didn't give him any chance, since he sneaked attacked, making a move was a killer move!

The cold qi released by the frost knight was as blue as the sky, and the cold qi condensed on her body was as deep blue as the sea!

At the same time as the card collapsed, the demonic power of the demonic phantom behind Chu Jiu was also boiling, and at the same time, it was blasted out with a punch.

At this moment, the spirit was already confused.

The Frost Knight's entire sensory world seemed to be distorted, and his eyes seemed to see countless figures.

There was a muffled sound of "bang",

I can't avoid it, so I can only take my head and hard-connect.

It was the approach of the hand knife, and there was an invisible stance more terrifying than the cold, which pierced into his mind like a needle prick.

It's a telekinesis attack!

Frost Knight's physical condition was already exhausted, and after a few days of fighting, his spirit was already on the verge of collapse.

This time, it was as if the soul was frozen, and the queen was hammered and shattered into the ground.

The two knights were hit by this heavy blow, their eyes instantly turned white, and their tall bodies staggered back a few steps.

But not dead yet!

Chu Jiu didn't stop either.

Without giving her foe a chance to resist, she slammed her fists into the Frost Knight's face as if a layer of frost flames were swirling.

"Knock", "knock", "knock"...

In the huge secret room, there was a muffled sound like a bell.

.......

Not far away, Ji Xun looked at such a fierce junior high school, and his eyes were shining: "It's much stronger than last time..."

Looking at the sharp momentum of his old friend, he also sighed.

It's not that Ji Xun hasn't seen an official spell card master.

But the one who is so outrageous is the only one in front of him.

And Chu Jiu's outrageous combat power is directly related to the demon god phantom behind her.

Before, when he was in 407, Ji Xun didn't know what the situation was with the phantom behind Chu Jiu in the silver-haired state.

Now I vaguely guessed.

Although I don't know which of the fifty-two demon gods the Demon Mark of the First Nine Fusion points to, the quality must be very high.

At least a legendary quality, or an epic source card like [JOKER].

Ji Xun prefers the latter.

After all, she is not greedy for one thing at all, except for character, that is, she herself has something of equal value.

The identity of this old friend is not simple.

......

Because the sneak attack took the lead, the first move of the first nine hit the frost knight hard.

Although the battle was fierce, the frost chivalry had gone out of order, and the whole process was muddy, and the counterattack was more by instinct.

The underestimation of the enemy also cost him.

The triple damage of matter, demons, and spiritual power made him retreat one after another.

It looks intense, but the actual ending is decided.

This level of battle is life-threatening even for spectators, and the terrifying ice spell is useless to Chu Jiu, but it is a mortal threat to Ji Xun and Nan Jing.

At the moment when the two fought, the huge secret room instantly turned into an ice cave.

The chill is biting.

Fortunately, the walls in the dungeon are regular, Ji Xun and Nan Jing are hiding behind the wall, and there are zombies blocking them, but they have not been affected much.

Finally.

There was a muffled "bang", and the tall frost knight was dead on the spot.

Seeing that the battle was over, Nan Jing quickly ran over and helped Chu Jiu, who was spitting blood.

Ji Xun also opened his mouth and said with concern: "How is it?" ”

Chu Jiu Mian calmly responded, "It's not a big problem. ”

Ji Xun didn't say much, with Nan Jing helping to heal his injuries, he couldn't help much.

He thought and walked over to the corpse.

Looking at the thick overflowing transcendent characteristics, he couldn't help but look forward to it: This is the corpse of a third-order spell card master...

didn't look too much, Ji Xun's eyes were attracted by the suitcase that the frost knight hadn't put down until he died.

This chest contains something that is immune to the Secret Keeper's curse attack.

With this thing here, it's only a matter of time before the maze is cracked.

Ji Xun was very curious about what was inside.
