Cataclysm King Chapter 322

Chapter 322 "Thousand-Handed Photographer" Samir Roger

Having discovered the entrance to the real mausoleum, Ji Xun suddenly had the idea of ​​trying it out.

Although there are many ancient ruins in the Old World, how many imperial tombs are there?

Moreover, this kind of unpredictable danger and opportunity is like a fatal temptation, making certain emotions irresistibly excited.

But he doesn't think that just having a secret road map is what he relies on for his survival.

In a blink of an eye, Ji Xun looked at Old Man Xu and said, "Senior, I plan to go down and see if I can rescue Che Er."

This is also true.

Old man Xu was so excited by his look that he said angrily: "You kid, think better of it. This mausoleum was made by the master craftsmen of the Talon Dynasty. Intruders will be cursed, except those who are descendants of Augustus." It's here, no one can get out alive.”

Ji Xun's pupils narrowed slightly after hearing this.

 He keenly captured several key words: divine craftsman, curse, and blood descendant.

Ji Xun knew that the old man's memory was like a conditioned reflex, and he would probably get nothing out of direct questioning, so he cleverly guided him: "Senior, do you know there is a curse down there?"

Ji Xun couldn't think of anything to ask, so he could only give up and said: "Senior, I'll go then."

 He almost memorized the layout of the entire labyrinth.

Ji Xun felt inexplicably happy when he saw the old man's determination to die.

 The group of people from the Southern Continent came down first.

This old man will always give some important reminders at critical moments.

But it's different from a different-dimensional space.

He felt that even if Old Man Xu didn't go, he would be more confident if he asked clearly.

 They have already cleared away the monsters in the corridor.

Ji Xun did not dare to be careless.

 He didn't think the old man would die.

Even this guy didn't realize that he couldn't die.

 For relics of this size, this old man has the golden thigh.

Of course, it's best to go together.

Ji Xun almost forgot that there was indeed a lot of unintelligible ancient Tarun language written in the underground palace outside.

 He saw the old man's confusion and didn't force it.

Although Ji Xun likes to take risks, he is self-aware.

 The monsters in the maze may not have the upper level limit as before.

 Old man Xu used clay **** to seal his ears before because he read the content on the mural.

 The scene around him changed, and he appeared in a dark and depressing maze in an instant.

However, Che Er, who was regarded as his grandson, was escorted downstairs by the people from the Southern Continent. He also had an old face and followed him to the secret passage.

However, Ji Xun felt that he might not have the chance to experience it.

 There are many third- and fourth-level skeletons and limbs.

With Lao Mo's seventh-level necromancer in the team, no matter how many skeleton monsters there are in the maze, they probably won't pose a threat.

　　Not long after walking, after turning a few corners, he determined their exact location.

 It was as if he had witnessed the construction of the tomb with his own eyes and knew everything.

 Old man Xu's greed for life and fear of death would never take risks elsewhere.

 The two of them walked into the space crack in the secret passage.

 After confirming his position, the maze no longer has any "mysterious" meaning to him.

Isn't this the maze in "Cemetery Maze"?

The dark corridor with high walls, the strong aura of the dead, even the spacing of the corridor and the pattern of the wall tiles are exactly the same.

Ji Xun and Chujiu Nanjing were trapped in the maze for a long time before.

Just as he was about to turn around and walk into the secret passage, he suddenly heard a slight sigh: "That's it."

Old man Xu said casually: "What is written on the walls outside: 'Those who trespass on the tomb will have their souls plunged into darkness forever and suffer endless curses.'"

Ji Xun felt inexplicably relaxed: "Hey, it's really that maze."

I just don't know if it's the same as the previous maze in the cemetery. These skeleton monsters are caused by human fear.

 This is the real Mausoleum of Augustus.

Just the mutilated skeletons and bones in the corridor did not look like ordinary items that could be broken by the bullets encountered before.

He asked again: "What else is written on the wall outside?"

Ji Xun looked at the dark passages built with high walls, and a familiar feeling suddenly arose.

Hearing this, the confused look of amnesia appeared in Old Man Xu's eyes again, and he faintly complained: "How did I know?"

As the two of them walked deeper into the maze, there were more and more traces of the battle, and they also saw more and more skeletons and bones.

 Occasionally, you can see a few "black iron" and "silver" quality materials in the pile of bones.

As Ji Xun walked along, he seemed to have returned to the scene when he explored the maze.

　　Back when I was a card master apprentice, I was cautious the whole time when I encountered those little skeleton monsters.

 Looking back again, I am already a half-step fifth-level card master, walking leisurely.

but.

　　In addition to skeletons, there was also a kind of monster in that extrdimensional space.

Ji Xun was thinking about whether he would meet him.

 Not long after, I saw a mummy nailed to the wall with coffin nails and a cross.

His mouth is sewn with gold thread, and he looks hideous and terrifying. This is the [Keeper of Secrets].

The original S-class disaster in the maze of the cemetery.

Now it seems that he is at least a sixth-level undead spirit.

 Furthermore, this monster still has the characteristic of "immortality".

 That's why it was sealed on the wall.

 When Ji Xun approached, Enlightenment also reminded of the pollution.

 But it's not a big problem for him now.

He observed the monster that was nailed to the wall and was still struggling, and muttered in confusion: "What is going on in this maze that the undead monster can't die?"

 It's just a different-dimensional space.

  After all, there is space for patching.

But in this real-life mausoleum, how come the monsters still can't be killed?

 This is another way of "perpetual motion".

However, as soon as these words came out, the old man Xu next to him complained: "Who told you that this is a 'maze'?"

When Ji Xun heard this, he turned around and asked, "Huh?"

What can it be if it's not a maze?

Old man Xu smacked his lips and said: "This is a 'martyrdom pit'. The nobles of the Tarun Dynasty all like to be buried alive, so that they can enjoy the status they had during their lifetime."

Having said this, he glanced at the dark corridors around him and added: "Moreover, this burial pit is very special. King Augustus didn't just want someone to guard the tomb. He was very ambitious."

When Ji Xun heard this, his thoughts suddenly opened up.

yes!

 He always thought this was to prevent tomb robbers from making mazes.

Looking at it now, the thinking pattern is too low.

　　　　　　　　　Since it is immortal, there must be some source of energy.

 Speaking of this topic, Old Man Xu's turbid eyes seemed to have penetrated endless years, deep and shimmering.

He talked eloquently: "This is not a simple 'martyrdom', but the entire maze is a huge spell barrier, used to accumulate death and resentment. Millions of people are buried in this pit, and they are constantly condensed with restrictions. The soul can never escape from the death energy. That guy wants to use this death energy to resurrect himself."

 “Resurrection?”

When Ji Xun heard this, an idea flashed in his mind, as if he had grasped something.

King Augustus actually wanted to be resurrected?

At the same time, the Weeping Angel that he suddenly thought of, didn't he use death to gain new life?

ˆ˜hiss.

 What a big move!

This labyrinth can not only warm the spirit of death, but whoever enters and cannot get out will die here and become nourishment.

Ji Xun was also glad that he had this old man with him.

 Otherwise he would definitely not be able to understand such mysteries.

With such a mysterious senior who knew everything around him, he didn't notice anything and directly asked: "Senior, can you be resurrected after death?"

 Old man Xu couldn't tolerate compliments on his stinky character. He raised his neck and said sternly, “What's so strange about that?”

He popularized science: "When the four sequences of the [3 Healing] path are advanced to a certain level, they will more or less have some abilities similar to resurrection. It's like your kid's "Immortal Curse", isn't it the process of reversing death? It's just that you only know a little bit about it now. "

Ji Xun heard it, and it really made sense.

　　Heather, the "Black Widow" whom we met in the Plague Swamp before, is the seventh level of the Plague Doctor sequence.

  Among her trophies, there is also some knowledge that points to a higher level.

 It's just too few and fragmented, not enough for Ji Xun to build up sufficient knowledge.

Old Man Xu looked at the mountains of skeletons and bones in front of him and said: "However, the extraordinary power of all things in the universe does not arise without roots. It is the process of converting one energy into another. The same is true for life and death. Other The essence is just the transformation of certain extraordinary characteristics. Usually it operates according to certain rules. If you want to reverse it, you need some special secret methods. And this reversal process must also involve the loss of energy. In other words, if you want to resurrect a person , you have to pay several times, or even dozens of times, the price. The higher-level creatures die, the greater the price of resurrection. This King Augustus buried so many people, in addition to wanting to be resurrected, I can't think of what else he wanted to do what"

"I see."

Ji Xun listened with a knowledgeable expression.

At the same time, there was a sharpness in his eyes.

I have heard before that Alduin, the subjugated emperor of the Taron Dynasty, the "Mad King", was cruel and mediocre. Now he is sacrificing tens of millions of people at every turn, which is evident.

But at the same time, Ji Xun also had a doubt in his mind.

 Since the overall plan is for resurrection.

Three thousand years have passed, what is the current situation of Emperor Talon?

Old Man Xu obviously saw through everything. After speaking, he added: "It's a pity that someone broke the situation. I'm afraid King Augustus's plan will come to nothing. Otherwise, it is just this maze, thousands of years of accumulation of undead resentment." , those guys before are not qualified to leave this tunnel alive. In other words, whoever comes will die."

 “Is the situation broken?”

Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

 It would not be a good thing if the emperor was really resurrected.

But according to what Old Man Xu said, it was not the group of people from the Southern Continent who broke the situation.

 It was done by the group of people who came in three thousand years ago.

 And seeing this, Ji Xun gradually deduced some hints of the truth using "I am the world".

Some people wanted to prevent King Augustus from being resurrected, and someone guided them to this tomb.

 It is like a big hand extending from three thousand years ago to the present.

 But very cleverly, completely invisible.

 It was because there was no trace that Ji Xun felt that this layout felt inexplicably familiar.

Ji Xun was already familiar with the structure of this maze in "The Great Cemetery Maze".

I thought it was a mechanism before, but now it seems that the entire mausoleum is built on a strange space rule.

This maze is roughly like a "Rubik's Cube".

 The trick is to "run".

 Use speed to erase the spatial transformation of the maze movement, and you can find the exit. There are decryption experts among the people in the Southern Continent, and I think they will find a way to crack it sooner or later.

However, this law is a law at the physical level and requires constant trial and error.

 And the more people there are, the more trouble there is.

 With such a large group of people, it will definitely take a long time to crack it.

Even though those people had already come in more than ten hours in advance, Ji Xun estimated that those people might have just emerged from the maze.

 The monster was pushed aside by the people from the Southern Continent, which was convenient for Ji Xun and the two of them.

 They had almost an unimpeded journey.

Even though they knew that those people on South Main Road would definitely leave something behind on the road, Ji Xun and the two had to sneak along the passages those people walked in order to avoid the monsters in the underground palace.

The two of them ran all the way and successfully found the secret room full of various symbols that was once the exit of the extrdimensional space.

It was very difficult to decipher the clues hidden in the ancient Talon language on the walls.

Now Ji Xun followed the rules and saw the answer to the mystery at a glance.

What's more, people from the Southern Continent have already arrived and cracked the secret room's passage to the main tomb.

There is a mysterious staircase leading underground.

Looking at the symbols on the mural, they point to the burial place of "Mad King" Alduin.

Ji Xun looked up and saw a huge moon on the ceiling of the secret room.

 This is the symbol of the tomb of Queen Silver Moon.

 After cracking the mechanism, there is a high probability that a passage to the Queen's Tomb will be opened.

But Ji Xun didn't intend to cause unnecessary trouble.

 He walked in along the passage that those in the Southern Continent had walked.

Not long after walking, the field of vision gradually broadened.

This is not like a mausoleum, but really like walking into a luxurious and magnificent palace.

Various stone pillars tens of meters high support the dome in the architectural style of the Talon period.

All kinds of exquisite murals and statues can be seen everywhere.

 A heavy sense of history came over me.

Ji Xun was also very impressed that there was such a huge space underground.

However, the traces of the battle are very obvious.

 There are broken pillars and various collapsed buildings everywhere.

 Nearly half of the entire palace collapsed.

Ji Xun tested the strength of the stones. Even a scalpel that cut through iron like clay could only leave some shallow marks on the stones.

 Looking at it, this is not the core area of ​​the battle, but the edge that has been affected.

It was hard for him to imagine what kind of battle could destroy such a strong palace like this.

 Fortunately, these battle traces were not left by those from the Southern Continent.

 But the group of people thousands of years ago.

Ji Xun guessed that they were probably the group of people that Old Man Xu said destroyed the layout of this mausoleum.

Now it seems that he may not be a tomb robber.

 Otherwise, he would not risk his life to prevent the resurrection of "Mad King" Alduin.

Old man Xu saw that he was interested in stones and introduced: "This is the [Asgard Divine Stone]. It is said that the stone is on the mountain of the gods. In the past, the believers of the old gods liked to use it to build temples."

Ji Xun nodded, his expression slightly strange when he heard the word "previously" in the old man's mouth.

 At this time, the two of them had already heard the sound of fighting.

 The fighting was fierce.

 Those people in the Southern Continent all seemed to be restrained and had too much time to take care of themselves.

Ji Xun and Old Man Xu quietly walked over, but no one came to stop them.

 They saw numerous broken limbs and arms along the way.

The remains of those undead creatures are presumably the undead summoned by Lao Mo.

What makes Ji Xun strange is that the other ones are puppet limbs engraved with high-level spells!

 The number is very large.

Looks like a puppet army was smashed to pieces, with pieces scattered everywhere.

 Some are newly broken.

 Most of them are "antiques" buried in the soil.

Ji Xun saw those puppets and thought of a person inexplicably.

 He has also met a very powerful puppet master before.

 In the Shenxu Treasure House.

That "Dramatist" Domingo, one of the Four Knights of the Royal Court of Oran!

 Seeing the puppets here, Ji Xun had already guessed what those people in the southern continent had encountered.

The King's Four Knights are not new to today, but were passed down from the Talon Dynasty and are the emperor's four most trusted bodyguards.

That is also the inheritance of the four divine sequences.

Following the sounds of the battle, we found all the way up, stumps of limbs and arms and corpses.

 At the third floor of the palace, the sound of fighting could be heard clearly.

“I'm holding this calamity back! Assassin team, you go upstairs to find Augustus' body first!”

“Mr. Fu, no, I can't get up! There are too many puppets controlled by the monster. And there are silk traps everywhere. The monster will find you if you touch it.”

“Then concentrate your firepower and kill it first! I don't believe this monster has endless puppets!”

Ji Xun himself did not dare to go up, but controlled the shadow to inquire about the situation.

 The fighting was as fierce as it sounds.

  In the field of vision shared by the shadows, corpses litter the field.

More than a hundred people came in from the Southern Continent before, but now there are less than a hundred people left.

 They are all elite.

Red dragon, black dragon, green dragon, brass dragon

 Now they have transformed into various dragon forms and are engaged in a bitter battle.

Opposite this group of people, a one-armed mummy with most of its body mutilated was guarding the entrance to the palace stairs, looking like a man guarding the gate.

This one-armed mummy used necromantic energy to weave a defensive formation like a spider's nest.

The silk threads pulled down a puppet with broken arms and lame legs.

 The puppet methods are also dazzling.

 Elemental spells, poisons, flying needles, melee, tightrope, flying rope.

 Nearly all the methods that human card masters can use can be seen in the hands of puppets.

It can block a hundred times the number of intruders by itself.

Ji Xun saw this and immediately guessed the identity of this person.

There is a high probability that he is Samir Roger, known as the "Thousand-Armed Camera", who was one of the four knights of Talon's last king three thousand years ago.

 In a legend, there is a top-level magician who can destroy a country by himself.

 The mummy's one arm was an old injury, and the puppets were all in pieces.

 But even so, it did not lose the slightest bit in the battle.

These invaders in the southern continent are not minions, but elites brought by Prince Sarn.

Moreover, they also have various high-level cards and powerful ancient relics in their hands, making them extremely powerful.

 But even so, they still didn't get any advantage from those puppets.

It's hard to imagine how powerful this magician was when he was alive.

“It seems that the people who broke into the imperial mausoleum back then were also very strong.”

Ji Xun was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

 If he could kill Samir, the "Thousand-Armed Camera", there must be some top-notch experts in that group.

While pondering this idea, Ji Xun was even more amazed by the ability of the one-armed mummy to control puppets.

Although the "Drama God" Domingo met in Shenxu Treasure House was also strong, he controlled the puppet, still seemed to manipulate a group of puppets.

 When the number is large, it becomes stiff.

However, the mummy in front of me is completely different.

Obviously they are just connected by threads, but the puppets look like living people.

 Each puppet has perfect combat skills and responses.

 Like living people with their own consciousness.

 This is the difficult part.

Ji Xun found it very difficult to control a puppet to such a meticulous level of anthropomorphism even with his current mental strength.

 Three to five people were already the limit of his thinking.

However, there are hundreds of them in front of you.

 And this is not the limit.

 The mummy can only be controlled with one hand, with an air of ease.

This ability is no longer exaggerated, but incredible.

“Could it be the fifty-two magical mysteries of the legendary magician sequence?”

Ji Xun had a vague guess.

 But this is not the time to watch the excitement.

 He observed that everyone around Prince Sarn was dragged by the monster and unable to escape.

 This is the best opportunity.

Ji Xun didn't feel that he could benefit from either side until the outcome was decided between the two sides.

Thinking of this, he controlled the shadow and quietly moved towards the upper level of the palace.

 He wanted to see what was going on with the body of King Augustus.

 Shadow is an elemental body with almost no physical limitations.

 Climb quietly all the way up, successfully avoiding the two sides in the fierce battle.

Ji Xun's shadow came to the upper floor of the empty palace, and he immediately saw a huge golden throne in the center.

The throne was cut in two by some sharp weapon, and the backrest had a very smooth cut.

On the throne, a figure with a big sword stuck in his chest sat there lonely.

Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this: "Is this the "Mad King" Alduin?"

 Looking at it again, the sword looked familiar.

I have seen patterns on coffins before.

If Ji Xun thinks he guessed correctly, it is the [Holy Sword of Olympus], one of the four sacred weapons of kingship!
