Cataclysm King Chapter 248

Chapter 248 The seal is broken

 The entire underground space is filled with a turbid spiritual pollution.

 The four of them retreated to the snake sculpture at the entrance.

Song Yu took out an alchemy lamp and lit it, and the layout of the temple became clear in the silver.

 The four of them looked at the pyramid with gurgling blood, with different expressions.

Song Yu also immediately guessed what was going on with the blood. He covered his mouth and whispered, "Could this be from the vampires in Bolton Town?"

"Um."

Ji Xun took a few glances and confirmed that the blood pool was the product of the Old Ones' sacrifice.

I just don't know how those guys got the blood here through the air.

And the blood on the pyramid is not ordinary blood.

 The name that inspired him was "Corrupted Blood Media".

This is similar to the [Secret Psychic Medium] produced by the Silver Moon Sect through sacrifices.

 They are all extraordinary items that contain strong pollution of faith.

 It's just that the level of [Blood Media] is higher, so high that the enlightenment Ji Xun sees is only his name.

Ji Xun had previously obtained several pieces of spiritual medium refined by the Silver Moon Sect.

However, that kind of evil product usually only sacrifices a few hundred people.

Hundreds of thousands of human beings may have been sacrificed in this pool of blood in front of us.

 The blood sacrifice in Bolton Town is probably only part of it.

Now that I think about it, the previous war between Earl Fremont and Senator Bourne over the gold mines resulted in heavy casualties.

 I'm afraid it's not that simple.

 Since vampires have appeared on the battlefield, the pollution may have started to spread very early.

This war looks like it is being controlled by a conspiracy hand.

 The ultimate goal is probably to unblock the things in this pyramid.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun also took a breath of cold air and whispered to himself: "Those believers of the Old God Sect really don't take human life seriously."

This is just a little leakage, and so many people were sacrificed.

If the things inside this pyramid really appear in the world, it will really be a disaster on the level of civilization destruction.

He had a vague idea: Could it be that the catastrophe that led to the destruction of Talon civilization three thousand years ago was because of these indescribable existences?

“But what exactly is this 'scarlet corruption'?”

Ji Xun frowned as he looked at it.

 But there is also a slight expectation.

That blood pool is an extremely dangerous source of pollution for others.

But in Ji Xun's eyes, the sky above the blood pool was overflowing with terrifying extraordinary characteristics.

 In other words, [Feast] can also be devoured.

However, this was different from the previous psychics. Ji Xun not only felt the pollution of faith, but also felt like his skin was being corroded by strong acid.

This feeling is very strange.

 After being stimulated, Ji Xun's conditioned reflex was to turn into a werewolf to resist this corruption.

Ji Xun didn't understand and turned his head to the side of Old Xu.

The old man's eyes were shining at the moment, but they were also confused.

　　It is like a fragmented state in which I remembered something intermittently but not completely.

Ji Xun asked: "Senior, what is going on?"

Old man Xu's turbid eyes focused a little, and he said in a deep and expressionless voice: “Those believers of the old gods used spiritual mediums to sacrifice, awakening some of the consciousness existing in the seal. He is trying to break the seal here.”

Ji Xun looked solemn.

 But I don't have to feel that there is much crisis in my heart.

 He cannot solve things that are too high-end.

That kind of anxiety is not something he has to think about.

Ji Xun is thinking about a question now: Can the blood media be absorbed by himself?

Before he could ask, Old Man Xu said, "Girl and little one, just stay with this snake statue. The pollution inside is something you can't bear."

Song Yu and Xiao Turtlejiu didn't understand why the old man seemed to have suddenly changed. However, they understood the mysterious air that couldn't be higher, and they responded obediently: “Oh.”

This kind of scene, you can tell with your toes that they can't handle it.

 After saying that, Old Man Xu walked slowly towards the black stone tablet.

Ji Xun looked at the corners of his eyes and twitched.

 Wait, what about me?

Just like that time in Xia Mucheng, the old man seemed to have completely ignored him.

Ji Xun looked at the rickety back that was gradually receding, and his eyelids twitched. He was also very curious about the content on the stone tablet.

Thinking that the old man didn't say he couldn't go, Ji Xun shamelessly followed him.

 There is no danger at all. The old man won't help, right?

Sure enough, Ji Xun followed, and Old Man Xu didn't say anything.

But the environment in the temple always discouraged him.

 After taking a few steps, Ji Xun noticed that the black hair on his skin was growing rapidly.

 Seeing this scene, he was also very surprised: "What's going on?"

　　It was not an active transformation, but it was corroded. The blood in the body seemed to be boiling, and it automatically began to transform into a beast.

 Enlightenment has also been refreshed.

“You listened to the whispers of gods from ancient times, mental confusion saving throw, you touched the 'miracle of the past'”

“Bloodline resistance, you are immune to slight 'corruption erosion'”

Ji Xun looked at the enlightenment prompts and understood something: "Is it possible that the werewolf blood and the pollution in this blood pool are naturally incompatible?"

 He could think of no other reason.

And the good news is that passive transformation consumes very little mana.

This is enough to sustain him for a longer period of time.

 After walking a hundred steps, Ji Xun's forehead was already covered with thin beads of sweat.

At this moment, he has completely transformed into a ferocious werewolf form, resisting the thick corrupting blood mist in the air.

 Fortunately, we have reached the stone monument.

 This is the third stone tablet Ji Xun has seen.

 But even after seeing it many times, looking at it again, I still feel a strong sense of mystery and a heavy sense of history.

The above is the same as what I saw before. Looking at it carefully, there are some golden tadpole-like words floating on the stone tablet.

 Old man Xu looked very attentively and was already immersed in it.

 His whole body also entered that bizarre state again, quietly integrating with the surrounding environment.

 If you don't look at it deliberately, it's as if he doesn't exist.

Ji Xun has seen it once, which is not surprising.

 He turned his attention to the stone tablet.

 Similar to the section in Shangbang Prison last time, Ji Xun could only understand a little bit.

 And he translated some words using words he could understand: "seal", "immortal family", "god thief", "scarlet corruption".

 After looking at it for a long time, Ji Xun clearly felt that his head was dizzy.

He already had experience, so he immediately restrained his gaze and did not dare to let himself get too obsessed with the super-level knowledge.

 Similarly, he saw the ancient symbol like "snowflake" again.

 “Is it really a plague?”

Last time Gongwu said that his predecessor "Light Chaser" mentioned this symbol, and again thought of those vampires.

 Does he think that the "scarlet corruption" may point to some kind of blood-borne plague?

Before the content he saw in his mind ran away, he was thinking about another thought: "Why does it feel like the content on this stone tablet records some epic poem?"

Looking at Ji Xun's mouth, the corner of his mouth tightened.

 He wanted to read some extraordinary knowledge that he could understand.

After all, Katarina understood the magic solution just after looking at the stone tablet for a while last time.

There must be something extraordinary about this stone tablet.

 But it seems that I can't understand it now.

 “Knowledge is not enough.”

Ji Xun glanced at old man Xu who had no time to talk to him, and sighed slightly in his heart.

The stone tablet could not be seen, so Ji Xun observed the temple.

 The stele is located near the pyramid, which is the center of the temple.

 Eight large snakes of different shapes are located in the eight directions of the pyramid, like dedicated prison guards, staring at the blood pool in the center.

 They have guarded this seal for thousands of years.

However, due to the pollution of blood in the air, those white marble-like statues have been stained with a faint blood color.

Ji Xun's eyes gained a little more respect after he knew that these were real people.

 As soon as he turned his head, he suddenly felt as if he was being "stared at" by something.

 Looking up, Ji Xun instantly felt like he had goosebumps!

 Because at this time, he actually saw a big white snake coiled on the ceiling of the temple made of mithril.

 No, it's not an ordinary snake.

The truck-sized head had double horns on it. Ji Xun recognized it immediately when he looked at it: the Abyss Dragon-Scale King Snake!

This is an ancient snake species of Dragonborn bloodline.

He knew this big snake. He had seen it on Bai Wei before, and Old Man Xu had done some popular science.

It is said that this kind of king snake can reach a length of 100 meters in adulthood and can swallow a giant dragon alive.

 But the line on the ceiling definitely looks more than a hundred meters long!

 Just the leaked part was more than 300 meters by Ji Xun's visual inspection.

 The dragon's scales are both thick and thick, and the muscles of the snake's body are knotted and bulging, and it is as powerful as a mountain.

It lies dormant in the middle of the ceiling, just above the pyramid.

And the amazing thing is that the wisps of blood on the pyramid steamed up, just like being sucked in by the big snake, and disappeared.

 After observing for a moment, Ji Xun saw that the king snake was the same as the other statues in the temple, and felt inexplicably relieved.

 But at the same time, he was also filled with emotion: "Is this also a statue of a god? If it were a statue of a god, what level would it have been during its lifetime?"

  King snake (flesh), insect (element), fox (spirit), three-legged sparrow (mysterious)

　　It just copes with the four extraordinary elements.

Ji Xun also understood a little bit of the layout of the Bai family in this temple.

But the entire temple exists for the purpose of sealing, and there is nothing else.

Ji Xun observed it and had no intention of touching it.

 As for the [corrupted blood brokers] in the blood pool, he did not dare to touch them.

Enlightenment only shows one name. It is best to wait until Old Man Xu has finished reading the stone tablet before talking about such incomprehensible things.

 He returned to the entrance of the cave.

 Seeing Ji Xun come back, Song Yu asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, what's going on inside?"

Ji Xun responded: "Nothing special, just a large seal."

 As he said that, he glanced at Song Yu.

This girl has been familiar with calling her by her first name before.

 Now he has become polite again.

"oh."

Song Yu felt a little guilty when he was looked at by that look, but he also asked: "Then what are we going to do now?"

Ji Xundao: "Just wait."

 Old man Xu is looking at the stone tablet. Without him, the three of them are in a dilemma.

 We can only wait first.

With that said, Ji Xun sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate. He thought of something and reminded him: "Be careful. Those vampires may come here in the next few days."

 He always felt that things would not be that simple.

Since those vampires sacrificed blood to the entire town of Bolton, they must have made such a big move to break the seal.

Moreover, they had killed the X Bureau's agent team before, which meant that those vampires were sure to achieve their goals before X Bureau's reinforcements arrived.

Ji Xun is fairly familiar with the Old God Sect. Looking at the blood pool now, he estimated that those vampires would probably come looking for him.

 It's even on the way.

But with old man Xu here, I guess it won't be a big problem.

It seems that he temporarily remembered the password for the large number.

  If something unexpected happens, we should be able to get to the bottom of it.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun began to meditate peacefully.

This meditation lasted three full days.

Ji Xun can tolerate loneliness, and it makes no difference to him where he meditates.

 While meditating, I tried to use [Feast] to absorb the extraordinary characteristics of the blood-borne fluids in the air.

He thought that JOKER could be exempted from the pollution of faith, and his body's self-healing ability could also resist corruption to a certain extent.

  You can definitely try it.

Any talk of "pollution" without regard to dosage is a hooliganism.

 It's like becoming resistant to toxins. As long as the dose can be controlled, in theory, pollution can be slowly swallowed up.

With the thought coming together, he has been testing carefully in the past three days.

 The good news is.

Ji Xun was right, those extraordinary characteristics could also be absorbed.

 He gradually adapted to the corruption and pollution, and his physical attributes also increased little by little.

 At this moment, Ji Xun meditated in the center of the temple.

At this moment, he no longer needs to transform into a werewolf to stay here for a long time.

Those highly corrosive blood mist burned like sulfuric acid on the skin, but Ji Xun's own body recovery ability was just enough to smooth out this corrosive injury.

 Pretty much as expected.

However, what is not good is that his "weak state" has not subsided much in the past few days.

 Previously it had recovered to less than 50%.

 It is only 60% now.

 This is also the strangest thing about Ji Xun.

His own recovery ability can cure corruption and erosion, which proves that there is no problem.

 But it cannot relieve the "weak state" at all.

This made him vaguely guess that the cause of the weakness was most likely some kind of high-level law trauma.

 This is related to his traveling through time and space.

As he was meditating, Song Yu's voice came from the entrance of the temple not far away: "Ji Xun, it's time to eat."

Ji Xun opened his eyes, looked at the girl in the distance with a bright smile on her face, and said, "Okay."

Three days have passed, and the young lady from the chaebol family seems to have completely forgotten the embarrassing laughter that happened before.

 The address changed from being polite before to calling out his name openly and openly.

Ji Xun happened to be hungry, so he got up and walked over.

 The simple camp is next to several statues of snake gods.

Little Turtle Dove had already filled a bowl of mushroom soup for him and brought it over carefully: "Mr. Ji Xun."

Ji Xun took Xiaoxiao and asked, "How do you feel after fusing the mark?"

Like a student reporting on his studies, Little Turtle Dove responded seriously: "I feel like my body is getting stronger, um, getting stronger and stronger."

Ji Xun also nodded in approval, the legendary mark is naturally extraordinary.

He asked again: "Then have you decided which card master path you want to take in the future?"

Little Turtle Dove said: "I think. I want to be a doctor like my father."

Ji Xundao: "It's pretty good. The four career sequences of the healing path are all good. I suggest you take [Plague Doctor] or [Paladin]. After all, your melee talent is very good."

"Um."

Little Turtle Dove wrote it down with a happy face.

 After experiencing so many things, the image of Ji Xun in his young mind now is that of a teacher whom he trusts unconditionally.

At this time, Song Yu took out a big piece of meat from the pot and put it directly on the plate next to Ji Xun. He smiled with his eyebrows creasing: "Here, try this."

"Um."

The two of them looked at each other, Ji Xun smiled and said nothing, and immersed himself in eating.

 The three of them immersed themselves in the meal.

 This was originally a very ordinary daily life.

 Just like the previous three days.

As he was eating, Ji Xun's eyes suddenly flashed, and he raised his head and looked in the direction of the corridor: "Huh?"

Song Yu noticed that his expression was serious and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xun's ears moved slightly, and he made sure that his perception was correct, and said sternly: "Someone is coming in!"

"ah?"

Song Yu also immediately realized that something was wrong.

This place is so secretive that it is impossible for outsiders to find it without a map.

 But now someone is coming, which means there is only one possibility.

Those vampires!

 “Is it really coming?”

Ji Xun also felt that the situation was not good.

This underground temple can only be taken the same way you came.

 When you go out now, you will inevitably encounter someone who breaks in.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun glanced at Old Man Xu who was still motionless in front of the stone tablet in the distance, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Without this person's help, he wouldn't be able to get out at all.

Ji Xun himself can move freely in the underground palace, but Song Yu and Xiao Turtlejiu cannot.

This means that when those vampires come in, they will definitely bump into each other.

 Dilemma.

what to do?

Although there are some ancient restrictions in the corridor, Ji Xun doesn't think it can stop those vampires who are prepared.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the movement in the corridor became louder and louder.

The three of them did not speak, and the atmosphere was visibly solemn.

 Song Yu and Little Turtle Dove on the side saw that something was wrong, immediately packed up the camp, took out their weapons and equipment and entered into combat mode.

 Instead of worrying, it is better to think.

Since Ji Xun knew that they would not die, he was not worried about the crisis.

 But now this situation makes him very confused, where is the option to survive?

 At this moment, a worse situation occurred.

Without any warning, the entire cave trembled.

The bleeding pyramid in the temple also shook violently, as if something was about to break the seal and come out.

This strange movement seemed to have caused a chain reaction.

 The pool of [corrupted blood media] that had been gathered before seemed to be boiling now, with big bubbles coming out.

In the huge underground palace, a huge red nine-pointed star magic array has lit up in the void.

 The methods of the Old God sect are very similar.

Seeing this nine-pointed star formation, Ji Xun thought of some of the sacrificial formations in the "Silver Moon Secret Code", and shouted something bad in his heart: "No! Those believers have already received the response from the one in the seal. !”

The believers charged into the corridor, and the "being" sealed by the pyramid now knew that the seal was about to be broken, stimulating the energy of the blood pool to crazily attack the surrounding restrictions.

 Before, I had no idea how many restrictions there were in this underground palace.

Now this commotion has been measured by countless magic circles.

On the bricks of the pyramid, red, yellow, green, blue, and white incantations lit up, forming layers of airtight restricted networks in the void.

 There are countless layers visible to the naked eye.

But the "existence" inside the pyramid has been planned for a long time.

That energy like a volcanic eruption is breaking through countless barriers and rushing out.

 With one letter, the two energies clashed fiercely in this underground palace.

 Obviously the energy of the collision was more brutal.

It was rushing all the way, with overwhelming momentum.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 configured from

Countless restrictive barriers instantly shattered.

Tenth floor, twentieth floor, fifty floor, one hundred floor

Those various spell barriers were as fragile as paper, and most of them shattered in a blink of an eye.

 At the same time, the entire temple shook violently.

The eight big snake statues around the pyramid also trembled, and the mithril ore on the ceiling fell like raindrops.

 Suddenly, there was a "clang" sound of stones breaking.

 In a blink of an eye, two of the eight big snake statues were broken into pieces!

 The moment the statue of the **** was shattered, the intact barrier was missing two corners, and cracks appeared on the pyramid.

Ji Xun's eyelids twitched as he watched, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

He looked at Old Man Xu again, who was still not affected by the movement, and exhaled a heavy breath: "If you don't wake up, you will be in trouble."

 As Ji Xun expected,

 Most of the restrictions and pyramids in this temple have been destroyed by the "existence" of the seal.

 The restrictions in the corridor did not restrict those intruders.

 “Hahaha, it finally broke!”

 “I have sensed the call of the Holy Lord”

There was a burst of shouting.

Ji Xun looked again and saw a group of green-faced and fanged vampires rushing in.

 Two groups of men and horses collided at the entrance of the temple.

Ji Xun and the other three looked at this group of guys with bad intentions, their expressions were solemn.

 The group of vampires were also very surprised. There were actually other humans here?

Ji Xun saw that he couldn't avoid it, so he immediately took stock of the strength of the opponent's group.

 The two leading men were wearing blood-colored cloaks, and neither of them had particularly strong energy.

 On the contrary, there is a very strong being among the vampires behind him.

“The strongest one should be the fourth level and the third level, the others are the second level and the first level.”

Ji Xungang wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, even the fourth level is insurmountable for him now, but he can still hold on for a while.

The enemy is not too strong.

 But after carefully sensing the other man in the blood-colored cloak, he was suddenly surprised and said: "There is another one who has no 'qi'! What's going on?"

 All living things have "qi".

Even if it is hidden so well that no one can perceive its strength, it must still be there.

 But one of these vampires is completely breathless!

 That is to say, it is not a human being!

Ji Xun immediately thought of something and became alert: "Could it be that weapon spirit?"

 As soon as the troops from both sides met, they immediately looked like they were fighting.

However, at this moment, one of the guys wearing a **** cloak lifted up his cloak, revealing the face of a thin middle-aged man with a mustache.

Song Yu on the side looked at it and exclaimed: "Third uncle?"

   It's a little shabby, sorry it's a little watery
