Chapter 264: Shenxu Treasure House

Chapter 264 Treasure House of Shenxu

 “Bang!”

 “Boom!”

 “Bang!”

ˆ “.”

 The noise of the battle is becoming more and more exaggerated.

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

 The power that tears apart the heaven and the earth is shocking.

In the dark ruins of the city, the realm of legendary card masters unfolded. They were like demons who controlled all things, descending and controlling the elements of the world in an instant.

 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 realms and spells are intertwined on the battlefield, making it look like clusters of nebulae colliding in the universe, shining brightly.

Each 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 pieces under the violent impact, like mowing grass.

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

                                     

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 sharp 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 didn't dare to stay where he was, or even stay on the ground.

 He decisively got into the sewer.

The layout of the ruins of Fire 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.

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

 He ran wildly through the maze of sewers, almost exactly as he remembered.

  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 a lot of 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 messy ones.

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

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

Although there are many of them, 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 hanging around him.

 Everywhere he passed, there were corpses.

Just running like this, Ji Xun avoided the areas 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 we don’t know what the situation of Xinhuo City was like 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, there are few high-level card masters in civilian areas, and there will be relatively few high-level undead monsters.

This neighborhood fully meets the characteristics of a slum.

Ji Xun’s judgment is also very accurate.

This allowed him to avoid the most fatal wave of trouble.

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

  The undead monsters in the Tongzi Tower are very dense.

 There are often thousands of ghouls in one building.

But the level 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 some evil spirits in this Tongzilou.

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,

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

 You will always feel tired.

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

Ji Xun’s secret visualization method is the “Empty 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 a group and devour a group.

 Sweep the building all the way.

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

 The most important thing about his ability to swarm monsters 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.

These undead souls instead became the nourishment for him to improve his attributes.

 Low-level corpses can absorb very few extraordinary characteristics.

 But the number of a building is several thousand,

  Together it is still considerable.

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

“You used Feast Devouring, and your constitution +0.022”

“You used Feast Devour, power +0.015”

  『Feast to Devour, Resilience+』

   

 Time passed very quickly, more than twenty hours passed by.

  Enlightenment has been brushed to numbness.

Ji Xun looked at his attribute panel and absorbed it all night. His familiarity increased by several points, and his affinity for various elements and dark elements also increased significantly.

He is very familiar with the terrain of this nearby neighborhood and has not encountered any surprises at all.

 When he was a little tired from the killing, he 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 too much noise.

 The whole process is spent on killing monsters.

 Because his intuition told Ji Xun that this mysterious space could definitely not be exited by killing monsters.

 He killed those undead monsters purely to absorb extraordinary characteristics.

However.

 Until he had to kill the first level 3 disaster, enlightenment appeared.

He just realized,

This space is not simple.

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

 A tall zombie monster had turned into a pile of carrion and fell to the ground.

 Enlightenment Tip: "Successfully kill the 'Level 3 Catastrophe-Carrion Licker' and gain 'Temporary Comprehension +1'"

 “Is there still enlightenment?”

Ji Xunzhen was a little unsure whether this was an extradimensional space.

And after looking at the attribute panel, there is indeed a temporary increase of "Sensibility +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 something.

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

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

 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 and thought: "In other words, this space encourages people inside to kill monsters and get rewards?"

It didn’t explode before, could it be because the monster was too weak to kill?

 Level 3 can reveal secret skills.

So what about those super-level monsters?

Is it possible that he can also use 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 ‘inheritance place’ or something like that?”

Ji Xun now 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 gather as much power of faith as possible, and then try to 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 will 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 worry about getting hurt either.

 The battle is still going on, and fire can be seen everywhere at the end of the field of vision.

  But it has subsided a lot since the beginning.

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

 Just feeling a little tired from the previous battle, he planned to take a rest.

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

“Hey, this temporary gain of ‘Comprehension +1’ is quite useful!”

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

 A little higher, sometimes the difference is 59 points and 60 points, which is a complete qualitative change.

Just now I 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 a bug opportunity.

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

 Enlightenment 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 ‘Level 3 Disaster: Colorful Poisonous Zombie’ and obtain ‘Detailed Explanation of Research on One Hundred Toxins’”

 Although there is no more "comprehension" gain.

 But this time, Ji Xun was already determined.

 An important function of this space: inheritance.

 He also roughly determined another condition.

 Low-level monsters don’t explode things.

 But he can only appear by killing disasters of the same level as himself.

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

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

And based on this inference, if you really want to kill those super-level monsters, you will definitely get books related to super-level card masters.

“Is this a legacy deliberately left behind by Great Master Talun?”

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

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

 That’s why the Kashi civilization in the Eastern Continent declined.

Looking at it now, it turns out that I still have a backup plan.

 This secret realm stores countless card master knowledge.

Ji Xun thought of what Nanjing had told him before, that the inheritance method of the high priest lineage of Oran was a special secret technique similar to the "Initiation Method". How come it feels a bit similar to the existence of this secret realm?

They all store countless ancient card master knowledge, waiting for people to develop and inherit it.

"I see."

Ji Xun has already understood.

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

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

Just as Ji Xun was deep in thought, suddenly, another drastic change occurred between heaven and earth.

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

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

 The light comes again.

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

The sun is high in the sky again.

 “The sun comes out again?”

Ji Xun looked up and squinted.

 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 transformed 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 city in the distance, the surviving humans all breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the legendary strong man, who has been awake for more than 20 hours, can finally take a breather from his tense nerves.

Ji Xun felt inexplicably relieved.

 He jumped down from the building.

He 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.

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.

However, there are only slum neighborhoods here, and there are not many of them.

 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 you are another survivor, you should think 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 the dead city again.

Ji Xun returned to the dilapidated 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 District is a slum area, and the monsters should not be strong. It 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”

ˆ “.”

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

Sure enough, he was not the only one who thought of finding a safe area.

These guys should have come 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 are more targets for monsters to attract, which is troublesome.

 He plans to change places.

However, after taking a glance, I found that there were a few familiar people 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 cascading blond hair who is calm in the face of danger. Isn't it Catalina?

Both Song Can and Catalina are friends.

Since he encountered it, Ji Xun had no intention of ignoring it.

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

Ji Xun thought of this, 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 sudden sound startled the dozen or so people on the street.

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

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

Without thinking, 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, he immediately guessed that something might have happened.

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

 Speaking, he jumped down.

I don’t feel threatened at all.

 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 the high-level guards?

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

Those other people also recognized the acquaintance on the wanted list.

 But no one said anything.

Everyone is in a panic 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 already 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 and asked in a deep voice: "Are you really Ji Xun?"

 What is truth?

Ji Xun noticed the problem: "What happened?"

Katrina sounded cautious and asked without answering: "When was the last time we met?"

Ji Xun knew the code as soon as he heard it, and responded without thinking: "Lion City Railway Station."

                                     

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

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

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

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

 They were walking and chatting.

"what's the situation?"

 “You haven’t met ‘your shadow’?”

 “What is a shadow?”

ˆ “.”

"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."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun understood immediately after listening to the descriptions of Catalina and others.

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

 Killing your own shadow can give you exclusive rewards. This 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 medicine to treat their injuries.

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

 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 very 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?”

“I’m really lucky to have found such a good place.”

"Yes. If we could have found a place like this before, my father, sister and guards would not have died."

ˆ “.”

 The corpse has been refreshed.

These people really thought he was just lucky.

Ji Xun didn’t intend to explain.

As for Catalina, her old friend knew it very well and guessed what it was, so she 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 can always do something unexpected.

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

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

Katarina thought about it for a moment and said: "It suddenly appeared during the breakout. 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 breaking out to fight?"

Katrina nodded: "Yeah."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun felt somewhat certain when he heard this.

D

Ji Xunxin said: So, the condition for triggering the ‘shadow’ is to take action with all your strength?

They were already very familiar with each other when they went on adventures together before. Catalina felt a sense of foreboding as she looked at his expression of deep thought.

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

Katarina said: "One side is the 'Secret Book of Laws' that fits me very well."

As she spoke, the corner of her eye twitched: "You don't want to draw out your 'shadow', do you?"

 No need to ask, from what she knew about this old friend, this was definitely her 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.

Catalina thought of this and glanced at him faintly. She did not persuade him, but said: "This secret place is very special. Don't mess around."

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

 Others don’t know this, but this lion-hearted lady who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable may not be the same.

Sure enough, Catalina's crystal eyes flashed again, 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, which contains the collection of the Talon Dynasty. All about the extraordinary inheritance of the card master’s civilization”

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

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

 But in fact, she had already smelled the atmosphere of conspiracy when she heard that the grandmother of the Song family had passed away and attracted many big shots to gather in the Sinless 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!

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun heard it, 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.

Moreover, Ji Xun’s intuition told him that wanting to get out alive might have something to do with the “Shadow Trial”.
