Cataclysm King Chapter 13

  Chapter 13 Gambling for Life

  The girl wondered, "Gambling?"

"Um."

  Ji Xun nodded, his eyes were shining like torches, and his tone was firm and calm: "Bet whether my reasoning is correct."

  Hearing this, the girl really couldn't understand what her teammate was thinking.

  This guy's tone is so calm that no one can hear any fear or anxiety.

   Instead, I heard a kind of eagerness to gamble?

  He took the initiative to gamble with the monster?

   This guy is not afraid of death!

  At this moment, only one word came to her mind: crazy.

   Probably because of the fluorescent powder, or Ji Xun's crow's mouth.

   Not long after the two of them stopped, there was a sudden stench, and a dog-headed monster appeared in front of them.

   Face to face, the terrifying sense of oppression of the level disaster is as real as it is, making the scalp tingle. Moreover, the curse-type monsters give people an infinitely mysterious terror as if facing an abyss.

  However, the monster did not choose Ji Xun, but stood in front of the robotic girl.

  The girl's expression changed suddenly, her expression darkened, and she cursed secretly: "Bad luck."

  So many people found her, I can only sigh bad luck.

   But even at this time, she was not in desperation.

   The mercenary has nothing to do with this disaster, but it doesn't mean she has nothing.

  The girl has an ancient relic that can be forcibly transported out of the dungeon's space. Once used, she can go out immediately.

  The only drawback is that after using that treasure, all the things I got in the space cannot be taken out.

  Including the rare [Witch Pituitary Gland] obtained before.

  I missed it this time, and I don't know if I can find such suitable career materials again.

  Unless she had to, she didn't want to give up.

   But now looking at the ferocious and hateful face of the kobold in front of him, it is already hopeless.

   No choice left.

  The girl with the mechanical arm feels sad, what a pity.

   At the same time, I also feel apologetic. Once she leaves, her teammates will surely die. She clearly promised to protect her with all her strength.

   But this is also a situation that she is powerless to change.

Why.

   sighed slightly.

  However, before she considered using that special relic to forcibly leave the dungeon, something unexpected happened.

  She never expected that a provocative question suddenly came from beside her ear: "Do you dare to bet with me?"

  The girl's eyes widened, and she looked at Ji Xun who was talking beside her in disbelief.

  For a moment, it seemed that his thoughts froze.

   After being stunned for a moment, she realized what Ji Xun had done.

This guy.

  He is provoking monsters?

  He's provoking monsters! !

   Sure enough, the monster could bear the ridicule?

  For gamblers, there is no one who dare not gamble.

  It immediately gave up the current target, turned to look at Ji Xun, with a mocking smile on the dog's head: "Which one is the Ace of Spades?"

   This unimaginable scene was staged, and the girl with the mechanical arm was completely dumbfounded.

  Her eyes were full of confusion, this guy actually saved herself?

   But why would he do this?

  Even if it is a cooperative relationship, it is not enough

  At this moment, the girl finally understood what he meant by "we" just now.

   This guy said earlier, "If we get picked", let her run away first.

   In other words, no matter who the monster finds, he is already prepared to face the monster?

   Yes

  No one has been able to survive in front of [Gambling Dog]. Why is he doing this?

  The girl with the mechanical arm really couldn't figure it out, she looked at Ji Xun, and suddenly had some subtle complications about this temporary teammate.

   Ji Xun is possessed by the Virgin Mary, sacrificing herself for others?

No!

   Rather, his absolute rationality allowed him to analyze the current situation clearly.

   This bodyguard teammate is dead, Ji Xun can be 100% sure that he will not survive in the future.

  The probability of survival of those well-equipped mercenaries is extremely low, let alone yourself?

  Any little monster can bring him a fatal crisis.

  So running away now has no meaning except to live longer.

   If you can't kill this kobold, you will definitely die in the end.

   Besides, there is another more important factor.

  He needs to verify a conjecture.

   Now that he has obtained enough information, a little bit of clues are strung together in his mind.

  He has already understood some of the "rules of the game" in this different-dimensional space.

   This is the confidence for him to speak.

  The 30% exploration rate of the dungeon has just begun. Only after verifying those conjectures, he feels that there is a real chance of clearing the dungeon alive.

   It is undeniable that this verification process does involve gambling.

   But for Yu Ji Xun, if he is still indecisive about his own firm judgment, how boring life would be like that.

   Furthermore,

   There is an eager thought in my heart that I can't bear it anymore.

  He really wanted to gamble.

   Tsk tsk.

   What to bet on,

   Have the thrill of gambling?

   "I choose."

   Ji Xun had a calm expression on his face, and deliberately delayed for some time.

  Looking at the girl beside him struggling with glare, he also guessed that this teammate was probably going through some complicated psychological activities.

   But staying here now is not a good choice.

  He raised his eyebrows and gave him a wink to run away.

  When the girl with the mechanical arm saw this, her expression was tangled for a moment, as if she felt that it was unethical for her to abandon him and run away after being rescued by others.

  But looking at Ji Xun's urging gaze, her eyes flickered, and she knew it was meaningless to stay for a long time, so she said: "Take care!"

  As soon as the voice fell, the whole person quickly evacuated towards the depths of the corridor, and his back disappeared in a blink of an eye.

  The teammate left, and the last factor that might have caused the accident was gone.

  Ji Xun has no worries in his eyes at this moment.

  At this moment, it was as if the beast inside was awakened, and a sense of scalp-numbing excitement welled up in my heart.

  He looked at the monster in front of him without any fear, but the corner of his mouth raised a provocative arc.

  Like a clown walking on a tightrope, even if he stumbles and falls, he still has a weird smile on his face.

   The monster also looked at him with a sneer on his face.

   "I choose this one."

  Ji Xun put one hand in his trouser pocket and made a choice.

  He chose a card at random and opened it directly.

  This understatement is actually a choice between life and death.

   But a magical scene appeared.

  The pattern of "Ace of Spades" appeared on the flipped card.

  The Gambling Dog on the opposite side looked at this scene, with a sarcastic smile on his face, but his expression was already stiff, as if he could speak: How is it possible!

  In an instant, Gambling Dog seemed to understand something.

  I seem to have lost a second of memory just now: I was mentally disturbed!

   But rules are rules.

  The established rules of curse art have never changed this.

  At this moment, this [Spell Gambler], like all gamblers, wanted to grab the last straw and survive.

  But the backlash of the curse has struck like a mountain.

  Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the kobold in front of him, and smiled brightly: "It looks like I'm lucky, I guessed it right."

   Before the kobold had time to say anything, the vitality in his eyes quickly dissipated.

   This game is a gamble of fate.

   The monster lost the bet, and the curse backfired and died on the spot.

  Ji Xun looked at the calamitous corpse that collapsed in front of him, and let out a sigh of relief.

  At this moment, the morbid pleasure brought by the stimulation made him feel as if his soul had been sublimated.

  Although Ji Xun is good at poker, he is not arrogant enough to compete with level disasters.

   Just like monsters will appear, he also used a little dishonorable means.

   What he held in his pocket was the [Witch's Gaze] skill card that he got from hunting the fallen witch before.

  After release, it can cause mental hypnosis to the targets within the range.

  The [Spell Gambler] on the third floor is much more threatening than the [Fallen Witch] on the second floor.

   But in terms of mental strength, there is a high probability that the latter is stronger.

  If the spell is not exempted, it will also cause forced hypnosis for at least 1 second.

   When drawing cards just now, Ji Xun used this hypnosis, and he opened it without giving the kobold a chance to make money.

   Luckily, I selected it directly.

  Even if he is not selected, time allows him to open another one.

   Sure enough, he won.

   also confirmed my conjecture.

   When Calamity died, a ball of green light slowly condensed on the monster's body.

  Ji Xun looked at the card floating in the light ball, reconfirmed the conjecture, and murmured: "It really is."

  【The Gambler's Severed Hand】

  Quality: Silver

  Detailed explanation: one-time mysterious spell skill card; after release, cast the curse on a single target whose mental power is not higher than 100% of the second level and below, and there is a 50% chance of triggering and dying; if the curse fails, it will suffer the same damage;

  The monster burst out another skill card, which was the weird cursed life betting technique.

   Mandatory 50% mortality rate, very strong!

   is also very unsolvable!

  Ji Xun carefully read the functions of the cards, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

  At this moment, he finally determined something.

   This is indeed a gamble.

   But the bet is actually not the luck of choosing one or the other, nor is it a trick, but the understanding of the rules of space.

  Since the BOSS cannot be killed by force, it can only be killed by rules.

   This is what Ji Xun wants to verify.

   On a deeper level, he understood the thinking of the designer of this different-dimensional space.

  level disaster [Gambling Dog] died, and the magic power in the monster's body was out of control. Ji Xun stood beside the corpse, Qi Di appeared again.

  「The magic power is out of control, suffering from pollution and erosion, physical fitness -0.02」

  There is still a luminous substance on the chest of the corpse, which is probably another extraordinary material.

  Ke Ji Xun does not have that magical space containment card.

  Even if the material is cut out, this thing is still hot.

  However, at this moment, a figure slowly walked out from the corner of the corridor not far away.

   It was the teammate who was full of disbelief.

  Monsters can teleport to find people, so it doesn't make much sense to escape.

  The girl with the mechanical arm hid in the vent not far away, which is the limit of her perceived distance.

   Originally, he wanted to wait for the aura of his temporary teammate to disappear before escaping by himself.

   But I didn't expect to wait for a while, before my teammates died, but I felt that the aura of disaster suddenly disappeared? !

  Although I can't believe it, the truth is in front of me.

  Ji Xun watched her return as promised, and smiled lightly. His teammate is still loyal.

  The girl with the mechanical arm looked at him, then at the corpse on the ground, her expression changed a few times.

   A guy who was probably dozens of times weaker than himself, actually killed the level disaster of the curse system by himself?

   It really feels like a dream.

  ps. Asking for tickets, all kinds of asking~
