Cataclysm King Chapter 184

Chapter 184 Leaving Xiamu City, wanted from all directions

  PS. Kavin, the content is as per the title.

 “Boom!”

Ji Xun flew upside down and smashed a large piece of bluestone, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.

 Looking around from the corner of my eye, I saw that the mysterious man had disappeared like a ghost.

If he hadn't been hit like this, he would have even thought it was an illusion.

 The severe pain caused by the injury swept through his body like a tide, which made Ji Xun unable to think too much about why the mysterious man attacked him.

 After a long pause, Ji Xun finally confirmed that he was not dead.

 As if he had taken a breath of air at the moment when he was about to die from drowning, he took a few deep breaths: "Huhu."

 But even these few breaths of air felt like inhaling countless steel needles, causing pain in the lungs that were riddled with holes.

Ji Xun couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of scarlet blood, and laughed at himself: "This injury is really terrible."

Just now he received that mysterious blow on his back. He felt that it was probably the most serious injury he had ever suffered since traveling through time.

　　It's almost literally hanging on by a thread.

 But he didn't die.

 It's good that you're not dead.

Ji Xunchuan had exhausted his strength and originally wanted to use "Cell Activity Boiling" to heal his injuries.

However, as soon as the magic power was activated, his face suddenly changed.

 Because he immediately discovered that when the mantra flowed into his meridians, it hurt like fire!

Ji Xun immediately felt that something was wrong and stopped.

 After careful sensing, he discovered that there was a strange energy flowing around his body, preventing him from using any spells.

"what happened?"

Ji Xun frowned when he thought of this.

He really couldn't understand why the mysterious man didn't just kill him directly, but instead used this method to torture himself?

 Being unable to use magic power means not only being unable to recover from injuries.

 It cannot transform into a beast or fight.

 Almost equivalent to a useless person.

 This state is in the ruins. When encountering an enemy, you are waiting to die.

 That's not the case.

Ji Xun didn't understand, but when he thought about it, he vaguely guessed something: "Is that guy hinting at something again?"

This unnecessary behavior seems to be harming people, but if you think about it carefully, it is completely unnecessary for a master of that level.

 Think again about the encounter at the blacksmith shop.

 If he really wanted to take action, he should have taken action long ago.

 Is it because you want to rob the angel?

It's not right either.

Ji Xun really can't understand.

 Since the man in the underground palace could easily open the coffin and release the remains of the angel.

  In other words, he must know the information about the Weeping Angel better than others.

 It makes sense to steal things.

 But it's really hard to understand when someone grabs something and then injures him instead of killing him.

Ji Xun didn't understand, so he could only take out a healing potion and poured it into his mouth.

Although it is a powerful potion, the recovery effect of high-level law damage caused by such a top-level card master is also very limited.

 Putting a potion down was like pouring a glass of water into a raging fire. Ji Xun still didn't feel that his injuries had eased at all.

 But staying where you are is not an option.

Now that the angel is gone, if the people from Bureau X catch up, he will definitely die.

Ji Xunqiang stood up and wanted to leave.

 But as soon as I exerted a little force, I immediately felt as if a broken bone had penetrated into my lungs.

His throat couldn't help but feel fishy, ​​and another mouthful of blood foam spilled out of the corner of his mouth.

 Trying to walk, like an old lady pacing. Whenever I exerted force, my muscles felt as if they were broken, causing pain and cold sweat on my forehead.

This state is really no different from that of a useless person.

 Fortunately, Ji Xun always prepared mechanical skeletons in his storage ring.

 After he took out a suit and put it on, the steam boiler provided most of the power, so he could walk without any problems.

Took care of the smell traces again.

Ji Xun didn't dare to delay any longer, and walked quickly towards the direction of the previous train station.

However, coincidentally, it was not long after he left.

 Several members of Bureau X's tribunal wearing black suits found the place where he just stayed.

The mustached captain looked at the broken bluestone in front of him and at the traces that had been cleaned up. His expression also looked very confused.

 “Captain, I have lost my direction.”

"Has it been discovered? It's not that serious. The fate is locked. Unless the person dies, it is impossible to save."

“The target disappeared in the ruins for a while. It may be that a master intervened to cover it up.”

“It may also be caused by some intermittent high-level relics.”

“Keep looking! Notify the Lionheart family and send out the wanted order. This time we must not let the target leave alive!”

 “Yes, Captain.”

These people were all professional trackers. After checking the surrounding traces, they quickly determined the direction in which Ji Xun escaped and pursued him again.

Ji Xun relied on the mechanical skeleton to reach the train platform without any danger.

 He didn't know where the others came from.

 But they had come to Xiamu City by train before.

 The only possibility he could think of to safely leave the ruins alive was to take this ghost train.

　　【Bazquez's Nether Train】 is a neutral disaster, but the strange time field on the train is the best protective barrier.

 If you don't understand the laws of time at that time, everyone will die.

Moreover, they were the only ones who came alive on the train, and no one else knew about the strangeness of this train.

If someone catches up, they might be able to trick a group of people.

Ji Xun stood on the platform and breathed a sigh of relief.

 At first he didn't think anything of it, but after surviving the train and gaining affinity with the "Law of Time +18", he clearly felt that there was something wrong with the time on the platform as well.

 He had guessed a possibility before, that the platform and the train might be one.

As long as there are people on the platform, the ghost train will appear soon.

 Once on the platform, you can only choose to get on the train.

 If you don't get on the bus, you will be obliterated by certain rules.

Sure enough, shortly after Ji Xungang stood on the platform, a translucent steam train came from the mist in the distance.

 Just like the previous ride, the conductor covered in black air was waiting at the door.

Ji Xun walked up dragging his seriously injured body.

Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief as he walked into the familiar carriage.

 He thought there was no one alive in the car.

 However, what is unexpected is that there is not only one, but also an acquaintance.

With her cascading golden hair, even though she was wearing a full-face gas mask, Ji Xun recognized that this was Katarina who had just separated not long ago.

But the eldest lady of the Lionheart family is not in good condition.

　　Although I was injured when we were separated before, it was not like it is now. There were blood stains all over the clothes.

There are also several flesh-and-blood wounds that are bleeding out.

This is obviously someone who has just experienced an unusually fierce battle.

The train pulled into the station, and Catalina was also very alert. She originally thought there would be a fierce battle.

 But after seeing that the person getting on the car was Ji Xun, her expression immediately relaxed.

Looking at Ji Xun, who could barely walk with the help of a mechanical arm, she guessed something.

 The two brothers and sisters smiled knowingly.

Ji Xun walked over and sat across from her. With a relaxed smile on his face, he asked, "What's wrong? He's hurt so badly."

Catalina said lightly: "I just killed a group of people who caught up with the train."

As she said that, she asked without anyone saying anything: "Do you have any healing potion on you? Give me two. If you can get out alive this time, I will return it to you later."

Ji Xun knew that she didn't bring any good potions for the trial, so he smiled and took out a few potions, and then asked casually: "Who wants to kill you?"

 He was really curious about what the mysterious man had hinted before.

Hearing this, Catalina glanced at Ji Xun, as if she had something to hide.

But after only hesitating for a moment, she didn't hide it and said: "I just realized that the Lionheart family has never expected to let a woman be the leader, no matter how good it is. If I can just marry someone as a political bargaining chip, That's all, it still has some value. But I refused. Some elders in my family thought that if I didn't choose marriage, I would have no value, and they even threatened me, so they took action. And my brothers also wanted to steal. I'm very interested in the fate of heroes. Anyway, there are quite a few people who don't want me to leave the ruins alive.”

 The tone was very calm, but there was a hint of unyielding forbearance and coldness in his eyes.

"oh?"

Hearing this, the corners of Ji Xun's mouth raised slightly, and he became somewhat interested.

This story has some meaning. Judging from what Catalina said, the person who wanted to kill her might be a close relative.

I heard that Chujiu was being hunted by her brother before, and I thought that she was an illegitimate daughter in the battle for the throne, so she might be an exception.

Now it seems that the legitimate daughter is treated in the same way.

 Children of top powerful families seem to be unable to escape this problem.

Katrina didn't want to talk more about this kind of thing. While treating the wound, she said: "What about you? What's going on?"

Ji Xun shrugged: "I can't tell clearly."

Katrina was also slightly surprised when she heard this: "???"

Ji Xun: "This injury I got was from the one I met in the blacksmith shop before."

"What?"

 Katrina's expression became even more confused.

Ji Xun pondered for a moment, and then expressed his guess: "I don't know why. But now that I'm alive and in the car, I think it's more likely that they want to help me."

Katrina frowned as she listened, apparently not thinking about the connection between serious injury and help.

 The two of them thought for a moment, but neither of them could come up with a result.

 At this time, the Netherworld Train also started "woo woo woo".

Ji Xun didn't dwell too much on the previous question and asked instead, “Why don't you get out of the car?”

 When he thought about it, it was strange that Catalina came back after having already left.

Catalina took out the destiny gold coin and said bluntly: "I have taken the ride twice, but I haven't waited for the right opportunity to get off the bus. The divination told me that I will die if I get off the bus."

Ji Xun smiled as he listened: "Miss Carter's situation is very bad."

These words were obviously meant to be ridiculing, but Catalina didn't see anything strange on her face and asked: "Isn't it the same, Your Excellency?"

Ji Xun smiled brightly: "Haha."

 The current situation is almost a dead end for both of them.

But as soon as the words came out in a joking tone, the solemn atmosphere instantly relaxed.

 No one spoke in the carriage for a moment.

 There is only the sound of the train moving.

Katrina asked again: "Do you have any ideas?"

Although they will not be affected by the time realm on the train, they cannot always sit on the train.

 If someone really discovers it, he will be blocked sooner or later.

"No."

Ji Xun shrugged, showing a helpless expression.

 At this time, the conductor walked in again.

Like last time, it took out a teapot and gave Ji Xun half a cup of tea.

 Only he has it.

 Catalina still doesn't get this treatment.

Ji Xun felt very strange when he saw this.

 He suddenly connected this special treatment to the previous anomaly of the Weeping Angels.

 There seems to be something special "something" about him that gives him special treatment.

It's a pity that I don't understand Talungu, so I can't figure out the reason.

The ghost conductor poured the tea, and Ji Xun said politely: "Thank you."

The conductor seemed to understand and nodded.

When Ji Xun saw this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Can he understand it?

Before the conductor left, he asked tentatively: "Um, can you please take us to a safer location to get off the train?"

Hearing what he said, Catalina was stunned for a moment: How can this be done?

 But immediately, she also cast an expectant gaze.

 That's right, since it's a train, can I choose to get off the train halfway?

No one has figured out the route of this Netherworld Train at present, and no one can block it when getting off the train.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.

 Even Ji Xun didn't expect any response.

However, what surprised the two of them was that the conductor nodded again!

Ji Xun was obviously stunned for a moment, watching the conductor turn to leave, and quickly said again: "Thank you very much!"

 The conductor did not respond, turned around and left.

Katrina on the opposite side was equally surprised when she saw that things suddenly took a turn for the better.

However, she was not surprised by the conductor, but looked at Ji Xun sitting opposite her, her eyelashes lightly blinking with unknown thoughts.

This guy seems to be of great help every time I meet him.

 As if standing at another node of destiny, the gold coin of destiny finally

The ghost train suddenly stopped.

There was a fog outside the window, and I didn't know where it was.

Ji Xun and Catalina got off the train and said thank you to the ghost conductor.

 The two of them walked into the mist.

 Both of them found that they had come to a very strange place.

There is fog in front of us, and there is a thick fog under our feet.

 It is unclear whether this is a real substance or a sensory illusion.

 It's like time and space are mixed together.

 Both of them have understood some laws of time, so they find this feeling very strange.

It's like walking in the long river of time, looking at the surroundings from the perspective of a high-dimensional creature.

 But their understanding is not enough to understand that feeling.

 The two of them walked along like this.

As we walked, the shadows of buildings gradually appeared in the mist around us.

Those are some dilapidated high-rise buildings.

 It's becoming clearer and clearer.

At a certain moment, as if reality were changing, the road beneath our feet suddenly turned into a broken cement road.

Ji Xun looked at the surrounding buildings and said, "We seem to have emerged from the pit. We are now in the ruins of the city."

Katrina nodded: "Yeah."

 The two of them exhaled at the same time, as if they really came out alive.

But the sound of gunfire from time to time in the city told them that it was not peaceful here.

Since everyone has come out, Ji Xun also said: "Then...see you again by fate?"

Catalina said: "I'll give you a section, at least until you get close to the Lion City. There are many undead monsters in the ruins now, and you will encounter a lot of trouble now."

Ji Xun listened and smiled and said: "I can't use the magic power now. If you follow me, you may be dragged down."

Katrina didn't take it seriously: “It's hard to say who is dragging down who.”

Ji Xun Xiaoxiao didn't say much.

No matter who is dragging whom down, as far as the current situation is concerned, the two people joining forces do have a higher chance of survival.

Besides, they don't feel that their troubles have been solved in this way.

Ji Xun also felt that his condition was getting worse and worse.

 The strange energy in the body has been wreaking havoc, and the injury shows no sign of getting better at all.

 The two seriously wounded men were walking together in the ruins.

 After the ruins at the bottom of the pit were opened, more high-level disasters seemed to appear in the city.

In the mist in the distance, from time to time you can see some weird-shaped flying monsters, or a surprisingly large black shadow that you don't know what it is.

Ji Xun and the others avoided those obviously dangerous areas.

 But even if they are seriously injured, their combat power is not weak.

Although we encountered some low-level undead monsters along the way, there were no surprises along the way.

 However, just when Ji Xun and the two were walking in the ruins.

 On the other side, wanted orders have been distributed to various large and small hunter camps in the ruins.

 Not long after, almost all the large hunting groups in the city got the news that they were looking for someone in the ruins with a heavy bounty on their head.

“Tsk, tsk, the bounty for this S wanted criminal has increased again! What on earth has this guy done? Why has the federal government issued a wanted order?”

"It is said that he is a backbone believer of the Old Day Sect. After looking at the information, he said that he is a second-level person. If you hunt him, you can get a bounty of 200 million. As long as you provide information, you can get a bounty of at least 10 million. Tsk, tsk, this is about to happen. It's like making a fortune.”

"Don't underestimate him. He is a ruthless man who has killed Governor Cao. Do you think he can kill anyone? I estimate his strength. Even a third-level card master may not be able to please him if he encounters him."

"Oh, the Lionheart family is also looking for the eldest lady of the Lionheart family. She said she ran away from home. There is a million reward for finding clues."

“Tsk, tsk, the eldest ladies from these noble families are really tired of having enough to eat all day long, so why are they running away from home?”

 For a time, not only various professional bounty hunter teams set out one after another.

 Almost all the forces including the Lion Heart Family, Cao Family, Bai Family, and Bureau X participated in the search operation.

But no one thought that the wanted Ji Xun and his two men had left the pit and came to the surface.
