Chapter 264: Surprise Harvest for Killing Shadows
Ji Xun cleaned up the necromantic monsters in a large area near the Hongfan Street Tube Building.
A makeshift camp with relative safety was also created.
A group of survivors stayed in the dilapidated building.
They were frightened for a day and a night, and they suffered heavy casualties.
These people were completely tired and frightened, and they had no intention of scurrying around this dead city full of monsters again.
However, Ji Xun didn't plan to mix with them.
The more people, the bigger the goal.
The greater the danger.
He also needs a large number of monster corpses to extract supernatural characteristics.
Moreover, he also wanted to test what the "shadow" was like.
The essence of "crisis" has always been the coexistence of "danger" and "opportunity".
In this situation, this [Divine Ruins Treasure Vault] secret realm is not a dead place, but a great opportunity.
If you don't try it, you will feel a loss.
Most importantly.
Mushroom Head said before that he also "gambled his life" in this tie game, not that he would definitely be able to solve it.
Ji Xun felt that those Old God cultists might not have the means to break the situation.
It would be great if I could help a little bit myself.
If it doesn't work out, try it first.
After all, from the current point of view, the "customs clearance method" to leave this secret realm with super-level monsters is definitely not a rank, nor is it a monster killing.
Otherwise, the super-level vampire, Count Nicholas, would definitely be the last to hope to get out alive.
Ji Xun speculated that clearing the customs requires triggering some special conditions.
After resting for a while, Katarina's tired complexion was significantly relieved.
She looked at Ji Xun's contemplative expression, guessed something, and took the initiative to ask, "Are you going to try 'Shadow'?" β
Ji Xun nodded: "Hmm." β
Caterina frowned as she listened, revealing a thoughtful expression.
But it seems that this kind of crazy decision is also a regular operation of this guy.
After thinking for a moment, she also thought of what Ji Xun could think of, and made a decision: "I'll go with you." Maybe it can help a little. β
After the last heroic trial, this Silver Mist Rose already had the momentum of a superior in his moves.
In the face of danger, she didn't think of retreating, but also solved the problem.
Hiding here may be alive.
But as things stand, being alive is also temporary.
If you can't find a way out of the secret realm, sooner or later it will be a dead end.
Ji Xun listened and nodded: "Okay." β
The two have a foundation for cooperation, and there is nothing polite to be polite.
The two were talking about leaving, but Song Can, who was on the side, saw it, but also took the initiative to ask: "Brother Ji Xun, I. Can I come with you? β
Ji Xun looked at the small-eyed fat man, thought for a moment, and said, "Of course." β
This fat man is a little timid, but Song Yu has a very high opinion of him.
It's just that he came to Innocence City alone before, and in such a bad business environment, he made the "Big Ivan Shop" the first in the city at that time, which can already be seen.
If he can help, Ji Xun doesn't mind helping.
Song Can looked at him and agreed, his face full of excitement.
He can still tell who the thighs are.
Not to mention acquaintances.
In this way, the three of Ji Xun, as well as the four of Monica, the chief of the dance troupe, left the broken building.
Ji Xun had already figured out a few nearby neighborhoods, and a group of four people walked through the dim ruins of the city.
Ji Xun and Caterina are both the kind of people who act capably and decisively, and rarely make small talk.
They are also familiar with each other, and they know each other's meaning with a glance along the way.
I don't know how to say much.
But Song Can is very talkative.
Along the way, the fat man became an atmosphere regulator.
It makes the atmosphere of the four-person team seem less monotonous and awkward.
"Brother Ji Xun, why are you so familiar with this film? We had also thought of going into the sewers before, but we were not familiar with it and went wrong many times. β
"Ah, I saw the vampire appear in the Hong Tower before, and I wanted to run, but I didn't run far, and the fight started. It's a good thing Miss Monica saved me, otherwise I would have been killed by the necromantic monster. β
"Miss Carter, I heard that your Lionhearts have recently planned to expand their army to explore the Old World? Do you have a need for cooperation? Well. I mean, if I could, I would like to be the exclusive supplier of your army. Although my chamber of commerce is not very famous now, I guarantee that the quality and price of the weapons and equipment I provide are absolutely optimal. Especially in the field of military machinery, I now have a lot of large machinery factories and most of the mechanics and technicians in my hands, and it can be said that eighty percent of the entire federal high-end machinery manufacturing has my shares. All the mechanical design and drawing manufacturing you need can be met. I think I'm the only one in the entire Federation who can provide that much production. β
"Ah, you promised? Thank you, Miss Carter. If I make it out alive, I'll pay a visit. β
β.β
This fat man is quite optimistic.
Not only small talk, but also business.
In his words, as long as he doesn't die, the business still has to go on.
In case he gets out alive, the Lionhearts, the first warlord of the Federation, are the big customers.
Moreover, in this battle of Honglou, the fat man also saw that the future first heir of the Lionheart family was very likely to be the Silver Mist Rose in front of him.
Caterina originally didn't plan to deal with Song Can.
They do have business dealings with the major chambers of commerce in the Federation, but they all talk to the helmsman.
In layman's terms, this fat man is currently "not qualified" to contact for that level of business.
But seeing Ji Xun take him with her, Caterina took a high look.
However, while chatting, I also found that the fat man's strategic vision was surprisingly high.
To the extent that several of the current elders of the Song family who are in contact with her are far-sighted!
In this fat man's words, he had already predicted that the Federation's future large-scale wars would be largely affected by high-end mechanical equipment. Even the layout was made in advance and the source factory was controlled.
It was also hinted that he had guessed the Lionheart's plans to expand their army
Just these two points, there is already a basis for cooperation!
Caterina was in need of such a partner, and the two hit it off.
The four of them walked all the way, occasionally chatting a few words.
Soon, they were in the basement of another silo building.
Song Can was still talking about something.
At this time, I didn't realize that it was already an underground construction area with a cement wall more than ten meters high.
Ji Xun suddenly reminded: "The front is the 'P43 area boiler room'. There are a lot of monsters here. Don't do it unless you have to. Try to keep your breath as low as possible. β
Caterina also heard the movement in the darkness.
The two had a tacit understanding, and she didn't even ask, so she responded directly: "Okay!" β
But Song Can blinked his confused little eyes, looked at the special magic cannon in his hand, and asked, "Ah, what if the monster rushes over?" β
Ji Xun didn't explain much, only said lightly: "Normally. Won't rush over. β
Song Can was confused: "Ah??? β
Monica, who didn't speak the whole time, also cast a puzzled look.
She is a professional intelligence officer of the Orlan remnants, and she knows much more about Ji Xun and Katarina than ordinary people.
But I can't think of why this guy can say this.
Before they could think about it, some shadowy monsters could already be seen in the depths of the sewers.
They have long hands and feet like spiders, and they are good at climbing, which is a sewer polluter.
It's fast, it's toxic, but it's crispy.
Ji Xun has killed a lot before.
He took the lead, and the four of them continued to walk over.
The surroundings were very quiet, and the fat man's "dong dong" and "dong dong" violent heartbeat could be clearly heard.
Of the four, this guy was the only one who was really scared.
Getting closer, the monsters in the darkness obviously found a few humans as well, and after a "squeak" like a mouse exchange, countless monsters suddenly rushed over from the other side of the corridor.
Flood out!
Hundreds of monsters filled the entire underground pipes like locusts, sending chills down the spine of those who watched.
In this posture, Song Can, whose hands were shaking like chaff for a long time, almost couldn't help but give a shot to the monster group.
Even Caterina had a few spell cards in her hand, ready to do it.
But Ji Xun had already brushed countless waves of monsters of this magnitude yesterday, and his expression did not fluctuate.
His hand shook, and the six throwing knives had already escaped and disappeared into the darkness.
The light was too dim to see what was going on.
But the perception of the qi machine is clear.
I only listened to the sound of "swish", "shmsh", "shm", and slight cracking of skin and flesh tissue.
Then there was the sound of all kinds of monsters crackling and falling to the ground.
Obviously, the monster corridor was full of monsters, but the strange thing was that it seemed that there was an invisible barrier around the four of them, and those monsters couldn't get close to within ten meters.
Katerina's ears flashed in surprise, after all, she knew that Ji Xun had a telekinetic flying knife in her hand.
And Song Can and Monica were shocked.
Can a monster still kill like this?
The four of them walked over with ease.
Although it was disgusting to step on a pile of monster corpses full of slime and stained blood.
But that kind of shock is like a wave that hits the heart one by one.
Only then did Song Can and the others understand that there were no monsters in the large building before, and it was not luck.
Instead, they were all killed by this guy.
Ji Xun was walking in front.
Occasionally, when he encountered a few first- and second-order calamities, he would also solve them in an instant.
His ability to control qi is now perfect.
If you can solve a problem with ten mana, you will never use eleven points.
Often, the movement that erupts has already solved the battle before it has attracted other monsters.
Seeing this, Caterina finally understood why Ji Xun didn't trigger the "shadow".
Because of these monsters, they couldn't force him to use too much strength at all.
In this way, Ji Xun used the telekinetic flying knife to open the way, leading the three of Caterina all the way.
He was too familiar with the terrain, and the six relic-level flying knives were just right to kill low-level monsters in groups.
This made the original monster city break through like a monster killing game at the moment, and it was extremely easy.
The three behind him didn't even make a move the whole time.
After killing several waves of monsters, they soon came to a huge underground space.
This silent way of killing monsters almost suppressed the movement to a minimum, and it didn't cause any trouble.
It wasn't until they stopped to rest that Song Can and the three of them came back to their senses, and this was the end?
"Brother Ji Xun, you. How good are you? β
"Hey, can I learn the ability of the flying knife?"
β.β
Although Song Can knew that Ji Xun was powerful.
But now that I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that my thighs were hugging the right one.
Caterina surveyed her surroundings and asked, "Are you going to draw a 'shadow' here?" β
Ji Xun nodded: "Hmm." The battle movement may be relatively large, and it will not be easy to attract those high-level monsters underground. β
As he spoke, he pointed to the passage on the other side where the sound of water came: "You are far away. In case I didn't hit the shadow, you just go this way and jump down to a dark river. β
Caterina gave him a blank look and said quietly: "You can't beat your own 'shadow', do you think we can escape?" β
Spit and spit and spit out.
Since I chose to come along, I plan to help.
As she spoke, she added, "I'd better stay here." If there is a problem, you can help in time. β
"Hmm."
Ji Xun smiled and didn't say much.
This old friend who has been through life and death is still trustworthy as a teammate.
Song Can was not reckless, he knew that he couldn't help, and said, "Brother Ji Xun, I'll go over there and wait for you?" β
Ji Xun nodded.
The two walked away.
Ji Xunyu glanced at the two backs, and asked as if he had nothing to do with himself: "Do you see something?" β
Katarina: "It's a bit of a problem. β
Neither of them explained, but they both knew that the other was talking about the chief "Monica" of the Royal Song and Dance Troupe.
On weekdays, you can disguise, but in this life-and-death situation, a little detail is enough to expose a lot of information.
She doesn't quite look like a simple vase actor.
Caterina said, "It could be a professional agent of a certain force, or a commercial spy." But she did save the fat man's life before. β
Ji Xun listened silently.
I just think it's a little weird.
Caterina thought about it and added: "This fat man has a very unique business vision. With the wisdom of the ancestor of the Song family, he would definitely not fail to see the potential of this fat man. Now it seems that the outside world may have guessed wrong, the important will related to the future of the Song family, this fat man may occupy a very important seat. This is the most important reason why I agreed to cooperate. β
She wouldn't say this to others, but she didn't mean to hide it from her friends.
Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard her analysis.
Good sharp intuition.
After thinking for a moment, he said directly: "He is the helmsman of the next generation of the Song family." β
He felt that it was okay to say it in advance.
On the contrary, it is good for both sides.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
When Caterina heard this, she was obviously surprised that his tone would be so sure, and the expression was to say, "How do you know?"
But seeing that Ji Xun didn't mean what she wanted to say, she didn't ask much.
This is, Ji Xun is ready, "I'm going to do it." β
"Hmm."
Caterina didn't dare to be careless, and retreated a long distance.
"Curse Seal: Solution!"
Ji Xun finished preparing, and the black mana power all over his body overflowed, and the mysterious spell mark patterns also appeared on his skin.
According to the conditions that Caterina said before, it seems that as long as the normal combat power of the rank itself is exerted, the "shadow" will appear.
Ji Xun wasn't sure how far he wanted to go, and he was still thinking about whether he wanted to solve it.
As a result, as soon as the spell mark was unraveled, he suddenly felt a clear killing intent appear in his perception.
He watched the shadow humanoid in front of him slowly condense into an entity, and vaguely guessed something: "Is the level of an ordinary third-order card master enough to trigger?"
After waiting for two breaths, Ji Xun watched an identical self appear opposite him.
"Mirror replicators?"
Ji Xun looked at it with great interest.
No wonder Caterina had that look on their faces when they saw them before.
But from the outside, it's flawless.
How did you get this space out?
On the other side, Caterina's three onlookers were already nervously suppressing their breathing to the minimum.
They have seen Ji Xun's exaggerated combat power.
also knew that his clone must be extremely powerful.
It is no exaggeration to say that the "Ji Xun Shadow" in front of them is more threatening than a fourth-order calamity in their eyes.
Without waiting for any preparation, I suddenly heard a loud "pop" in the air.
Ji Xun's expression became even more strange when he heard this explosion.
This is the explosion of his hand body method [Floating Kick] stomping on the air.
After all, he is good at it, he knows the level as soon as he sees this posture, and he is also surprised in his heart: "The level of imperial qi is exactly the same."
If it weren't for the blood plague, it wouldn't be able to transform.
Otherwise, he felt that this shadow would turn into a werewolf in the first place, and his speed would increase dramatically.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow had already rushed to the front door, Ji Xun looked at the cyclone lingering on 'his' fist, and muttered: "Even the overlord fist will be." β
The fist crushed the wind to form an air explosion, and the cannon sound was blasted in and out, which was undoubtedly the [Tiger Cannon Fist].
The timing, skill, and fighting instinct are all impeccable.
Strength, agility. All the attributes are completely duplicated.
In an instant, Ji Xun observed too many useful things.
Normally, when you encounter an enemy who is exactly the same as yourself, this kind of victory or defeat is five or five.
However, Ji Xun's expression was slightly strange when he looked at it.
The fist swept through his face with the strength of the knife-like wind, and he threw a punch that hit the shadow's body.
"Boom!"
One punch and it flew out.
Ji Xun looked at his fist, as if he understood something.
That's not a flaw.
It's because I know myself too well.
Ji Xun knew that he had made this punch, but as long as the enemy could detect the intention in advance, the seventh rib of his left chest was a weakness.
But to hit, it's another reason.
On the other side, Katarina, who was watching the battle, was already in her throat, and several Upanishah cards in her hand were about to come out of the water.
She watched the battle with full attention.
Thinking that Ji Xun really had a problem, he could help as soon as possible.
However, as soon as the battle began, she was struck by lightning and froze on the spot.
"This trick is a big hit?"
Caterina's eyes widened, she never expected this to happen.
After all, she had killed her own shadow before, and she knew how tricky it was for a shadow who had completely copied her abilities.
But the guy in front of him hit the shadow so easily?
Not only Katarina, but Song Can and Monica in the distance were also shocked.
A thought popped up in the minds of the three of them: How did you do it?
"I see."
Ji Xun looked at the shadow flying out upside down, but he was not idle.
The same cyclone exploded under his feet, and the whole person suddenly went away like a cannonball.
With a master of their level, a single flaw is enough to hit hard.
The punch just now was enough for the shadow to expose a fatal flaw.
Ji Xun rushed forward, after all, he was a replica of himself, and he knew very well how the other party would react after being injured.
A set of heavy punches blasted out one after another, and the moves were all weaknesses.
The punch punch made ripples in the air, and the injured shadow retreated in defeat.
It is also a loss that the "shadow" completely reproduces its physical strength and is resistant to beating.
Otherwise, this would have been replaced by a general third-order, and he would have been killed on the spot a long time ago.
Ji Xun had already seen everything.
It's not that the shadow isn't strong enough, it's that "he" lacks something.
The martial arts he is proficient in are exactly the same as his own, and his strength and attributes are the same.
However, this shadow does not replicate the "meaning".
At the first time of the fight just now, Ji Xun clearly sensed the killing intent of the other party.
Once that "intention" is locked, the other party's intention could not be clearer.
predicted what "he" would do, and Ji Xun was hit hard with one blow.
That's it.
A battle that was expected to be fierce ended with the jaw-dropping expressions of the three onlookers.
Ji Xun didn't spend much effort, and it seemed that he had killed the shadow very easily.
Enlightenment also hinted at.
"Kill 'Primary Self Replica' to obtain the special item 'Skill Level Up Card*1'"
"Gain the blessing of the Divine Ruins Treasure Trove, Temporary Perception +1"
Ji Xun looked at the card left behind after the shadow collapsed, and his expression froze.
Immediately, his eyes showed joy: "Actually out of the skill level card?" β
γSkill Level Up Cardγ
Details: Exclusive limited-time cards; You can increase your skill proficiency level at any level that is not higher than your own cognition; Use within 12 hours, otherwise it will disappear;
"Good stuff!"
Ji Xun was really an unexpected surprise.
I thought I'd get a rare skill book.
I didn't expect this to come.
The first time he participated in the war-mode alternate dimension "Outpost War", he opened the settlement box and got one.
But that kind of opportunity is hard to come by.
Not only do you need a difficult war dungeon, but you also need a lot of luck.
I didn't expect another one to come out now!
Without thinking about it, Ji Xun directly clicked [Demon Feast Lv3 (8741/16000)].
Instantly transformed into [Demon Feast Lv4 (11/80000)]!
This Demon God skill only improved by a few hundred proficiency points after a whole day of brushing yesterday, and now it has been directly upgraded to one level.
This kind of refreshment is extremely pleasant.
In an instant, it was obvious to him that the coverage of the feast had nearly doubled, and the devouring efficiency had also increased several times.
"Make a fortune!"
Ji Xun couldn't hide his joy.
It's definitely a big plus for him right now.
This secret realm is full of monsters, and they are devouring too slowly.
And it turned out to be this card.
This is enough to allow him to quickly absorb extraordinary traits and increase his combat power.
And the temporary perception is superimposed again!
Now Ji Xun has understood that the essence of this "Divine Ruins Treasure House" is a certain trial to encourage card masters to obtain inheritance!
Ji Xun was pondering his changes, when he looked at Caterina with a strange face.
As if she was meeting Ji Xun for the first time, she didn't hide her doubts: "How did you do it?" β
Ji Xun said his guess: "This shadow only copies my physical attributes. Some non-physical properties are not replicated. β
Katerina: "Psychic power? β
But when she said it, she immediately vetoed it.
Because of her clones, the spiritual power was also copied.
Ji Xun didn't hide it, "I have touched the threshold of 'meaning'." β
β.β
Caterina listened for a moment.
But at this moment, her eyes were even more strange.
is also a third-order, and Caterina feels that her talents are all the pride of the sky.
But a comparison.
This guy. What a freak.
Moreover, Ji Xun also captured a keyword that inspired him before.
"Primary clones, that is, there are more advanced clones?"
Ji Xun suddenly looked forward to it.
Such a rudimentary clone can burst out with such a surprise, but what about the more advanced ones?
Caterina looked at his expression and already guessed what he was going to do.
But this time she didn't open her mouth to persuade her.
Because I know that this guy's character will definitely not be persuaded.
Moreover, Caterina herself has strong expectations.
Just when Ji Xun and a few people were underground.
The other side.
Candy Street in Xicheng District, the headquarters of the former Golden Oak Security Company in Innocence City.
The red moon in space is in full bloom, and the Mother Tree of Joy has taken root here.
With the protection of the Mother Tree, the dead air of the city could not erode this neighborhood, which also gave the remaining believers of the Silver Moon Sect room to breathe.
However, in the past two days, they have cleaned up the monsters in this vicinity, and there have been heavy casualties.
Believers are seven or eight out of ten.
At this time, a proud young man wearing a crown of thorns, surrounded by several cloaked people, walked leisurely.
When the leader of the Silver Moon and several believers saw this person, they hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty." β
The person who came was none other than Arthur, the new king of Augustus, who had been lurking in the city of Innocence.
"This is my Augustus' 'Treasury of Divine Ruins', and even this king doesn't know it's in the City of Innocence. Damn it! How much did Priest Nan hide from this king, did she know what she was doing! β
"My king, it seems that the High Priest has lost faith in the loyalty of the Augustan bloodline."
"Humph! When I get out, I'll have to ask her to give me an explanation! It's just that you don't express your support for me to ascend the throne, and now you still want to trap me in this secret realm? It's ridiculous, this secret realm was refined by my ancestors, how could it hurt the Augustan bloodline! β
β.β
This is a desperate dead city for others, but it has no effect on the new king Arthur.
Not only did the monsters in the city not hurt him, but he also found too many royal inheritances in the ruins.
There are also some secret realm permissions.
"It just so happens that those guys in the Federation are trapped inside, and if we kill them all this time, we will go one step further in recovering the country."
"Prepare for the sacrifice! The rank of the Light Chaser was not enough for him to support such a god-level spell. Now the necromantic monsters in the 'Divine Ruins' are only awakened by the seventh order, as long as the sacrifice can be successful, not only can the moon god come, but this king can also become a 'demigod'! β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With this, the leader of the silver moon took the order and left.
The cloaked men beside the new king Arthur also shot at the same time, and the spirit came out of a black coffin.
As the incantations were chanted, the branches of the illusory sacred tree of pleasure in the sky suddenly emitted a trace of black silk.
Large-scale terrorist pollution is spreading rapidly in the dead city.
