Cataclysm King - #116 - Chapter 116: weeping angel
Chapter 116 Weeping Angel
It was two days in a flash.
The assassination of Mr. Kahn intensified, and the hunters in the Thunder Fortress camp became more and more dissatisfied.
Now the hunters can’t go back, and those hunters who came back from the ruins are also piled up in the camp, and there are more and more people.
It’s not just the hunters who are trapped, but some special ones.
In the small building of the Caiyun Chamber of Commerce in the camp.
A mysterious woman with a black veil on her face was standing in front of the window, looking at the crowded camp in front of her, her moon-like silver pupils were shining brightly.
And behind her, there was still a hunchbacked old man who was full of lifelessness.
Looking at the people from the Lion Heart family who were still hunting around in the distance, the silver-eyed woman murmured to herself: “It’s a pity, it’s rare that such a high-ranking nobleman came to Innocence City. Originally, I wanted to use that young master Kahn to get close to Lion Heart.” The senior members of the family did not expect that they would be killed just after they disguised their identities.”
Hearing this, the hunchbacked old man responded with a hoarse voice: “Recently more and more nobles have come down from the city of innocence, and there may not be opportunities in the future.”
After a pause, he continued: “The ghosts of those guys from Bureau X are still there. They have investigated the chamber of commerce yesterday, and they may have found some problems. If they don’t solve them, they will continue to trouble us. “
The silver-eyed woman: “Then just kill them together. It just so happens that the last sealed relic has been found, and the restrictions on the four-pillar seal are basically lifted, so it doesn’t matter if it’s exposed now. The crying angel still needs some soul nourishment, so he put it in the camp. Sacrifice these people. Let’s do it now, just like the ‘Thirteen Kamen Riders’ can also help us attract the attention of the high-level Federation.”
Humpbacked old man: “Yes.”
On the streets of the camp, Ji Xun walked unhurriedly.
In addition to practicing and studying in the tent every day, he would also go out in the evening when the tavern was most crowded, inquiring about news.
The tavern is still the most crowded and lively place in the camp.
Ji Xun seemed to squeeze into the Hunter’s Tavern like the previous two days.
Then sat down at the corner of the bar and ordered a glass of beer.
No new supply has been delivered in the past two days, and the price of beer has risen almost tenfold.
This is no longer a luxury that ordinary hunters can afford.
Ji Xun was sitting at the bar, drinking wine while listening to the news as usual.
The most talked about by the hunters was mostly the old news about Kahn’s assassination the day before yesterday, with various gossips that were difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Ji Xun listened for a long time, and the only thing he found reliable was that it was said that the people from the federal military would arrive tomorrow.
I heard that an important person from the Lionheart family will also come.
The hunters are mostly pessimistic and resistant to the news.
After all, these high-ranking nobles are not friendly to the bottom people.
The previous young master Kahn killed hundreds of people for no reason in order to find an assassin.
No one knows what will happen when the Lionheart family comes.
But there is nothing you can do.
For the vast majority of hunters, their current situation is like a shipwreck trapped on an isolated island. If you really want to blindly rush into the unexplored old continent, it’s like going out to sea on a raft, and the risk is much greater than staying in the camp.
There is also some information about land reclamation.
A group of hunters discovered several new different-dimensional spaces deep in the ruins that no one has yet come out alive.
Some people speculate that it may be the new war mode space.
There are many and mixed messages.
Ji Xun just drank it one mouthful at a time.
Sit for nearly an hour.
Listen, listen, after hearing no more valuable information, he originally wanted to leave.
But at this moment, three people suddenly walked in from the door of the tavern.
Leading a strong middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket, followed by two young men, a man and a woman.
All three of them covered their faces with square scarves, and the two behind them even covered their bodies with buckskin cloaks.
Ji Xun always felt inexplicably familiar looking at these three people.
Although the three of them were also dressed as hunters, their temperament did not look like low-level hunters.
The three of them also walked towards the bar.
The man in the jacket waved to the bartender and said, “Three glasses of beer.”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Ji Xun immediately recognized the rough voice, and was greatly surprised: “Those three guys from Bureau X?”
At this moment, he finally knew where that familiar feeling came from.
Aren’t these the same three people who came chasing the “Plague Doctor” Hesse when Innocence City wiped out the stronghold of the Silver Moon Sect?
He remembers the name “Xie Guozhong” in the leather jacket?
The impression is not bad.
After all, I was able to get the scalpel that time, thanks to this guy who kept his promise.
But how did they come to the Thunder Fortress ruins?
This kind of well-organized official investigator does not need to take risks to hunt wildlands to make a living.
In an instant, Ji Xun thought of something else, and thought: “Could it be someone from the Silver Moon Sect?”
Then I changed my mind, the possibility is really not small.
It was last time.
This time it is probably the same.
And one more thing, Ji Xun also guessed that those people from the Silver Moon Sect might really come to this ruins.
In the previous different-dimensional space of “Battle of the Outposts”, the demon camp believed that the **** was Arachne, the “Lord of Dreams and Joy”.
This is the old **** that the Silver Moon Sect believes in!
Ji Xun went to see altars, statues, etc. in person. The old inheritance in that space is much more complete than the current half-baked Silver Moon Sect.
If the people of the Silver Moon Sect knew about this situation, it was very likely that they would come to find those ancient inheritances.
And maybe not only in that space.
Ji Xun thought of this, with a slightly strange expression on his face: “Hiss, it could be that people from the Silver Moon Sect came to find the inheritance of the old gods, and then these three people from Bureau X came after them?”
I seem to have a bit of a relationship with this old sect.
can be encountered there.
However, he didn’t wait for him to think about it.
As soon as Xie Guozhong sat down, the drinker next to him started sneaking away.
The mushroom head and the short-haired girl in the back stood there, skillfully stopping that guy.
Xie Guozhong chuckled lightly, and said lightly: “Old man Xu, long time no see.”
The sneaky guy shook his head again and again, still wanting to slip away, “No, no, you misidentified the person.”
Hearing this, Xie Guozhong said to himself: “You guys forgot me again.”
As he spoke, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry. We are not from the Lionheart family. We are Bureau X, and I want to ask you a few questions.”
At this time, the man dared to look up at the three of them: “Huh?”
Although the conversation over there was not loud, Ji Xun could hear clearly.
“What a coincidence”
Ji Xun got stuck and the guy who was stopped turned out to be an acquaintance.
It is the “dog king” old man Xu who went to the different-dimensional space to form a team together.
what a small world.
Oh, no.
The camp is small.
There are only two taverns, and this guy is an old alcoholic, so the probability of encountering them is quite high.
Ji Xun had noticed this guy before.
Drinking with head and tail, and complaining about the wine is too expensive, taking a sip, it looks like it hurts, which is a little funny.
But thinking that there are many strange people in the hunter, Ji Xun didn’t pay much attention.
I didn’t expect to be an acquaintance.
“Actually survived”
Ji Xun recognized old man Xu, and also felt emotional.
The King of Dogs really deserves to be the King of Dogs, and being able to survive is a real skill.
But after thinking about it, if it weren’t for the “crotch avoidance method” that the old man said, it would be really difficult for Ji Xun to avoid those ghosts in the space.
It’s a bit affectionate.
And after drinking for so long just now, I was not recognized by myself.
This old man’s disguise is really something.
Ji Xun thought of something, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
However, the subsequent dialogue cannot be heard.
“Are you using soundproofing?”
Ji Xun also frowned slightly.
The more mysterious these guys got, the more he felt that something might happen.
Curiously, he glanced at it from the corner of his eye.
For Ji Xun, who has a photographic memory, lip reading is not a difficult skill.
Even if you can’t hear them, lip reading can help you understand what they are talking about piecemeal.
“Old man, I know you are well-informed, we want to inquire about something.”
“Ah, I don’t know anything, did you find the wrong person?”
“I know that your Excellency is proficient in some secret arts. Have you noticed anything unusual about Caiyun Shop?”
“Hey, I was drinking too much and boasting about the secret technique. You three big men don’t really believe it, do you?”
“Not for nothing. Give money.”
“Big brother, just say what you want to know.”
“.”
Xie Guozhong seems to know old man Xu.
But old man Xu doesn’t seem to recognize him anymore.
Ji Xun also found it strange.
But these are not the immediate concern.
When he read the information, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Since all the people from Bureau X have come here, there must be some directional clues.
With this posture, are there really Silvermoon believers in the camp?
To be honest, Ji Xun didn’t feel a sense of crisis even if he knew that the Lionheart family was coming.
After all, there is a lot of information, and many things can be expected.
But believers of old are different.
These people only gave him the feeling of two words – evil!
Originally, I wanted to take a few more glances and hear what else they were talking about.
Unexpectedly, Xie Guozhong seemed to notice it, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and there was a movement of raising his eyes.
Ji Xun observed these details, quickly restrained his eyes, and said in his heart: “What a strong perception.”
The three of Xie Guozhong didn’t seem interested in paying attention to others, they continued to ask something, and their expressions became more and more serious.
It will be noticed when you read it again.
Ji Xun is not planning to stay longer in the tavern.
Meeting these people, Ji Xun suddenly smelled a sense of crisis.
He wants to leave as soon as possible.
At least, stay away from the three of Xie Guozhong.
However, the accident came very suddenly.
Just when Ji Xun got up and was about to leave.
A sudden change.
The butterfly door was pushed open, and a hunchbacked old man slowly walked into the tavern with a black cross as tall as a person on his back.
This man seemed to have crawled out of a grave, and his body was full of death.
The cross has been dragging on the board, making rubbing noises from time to time.
It was this voice that sent hairs down the spine, making the entire tavern seem to be muted.
The tavern, which was originally noisy, suddenly became silent.
because,
The hunchbacked old man came in.
Everyone felt the feeling of being watched by the **** of death, like falling into an ice cave.
Beside his ears, he could still clearly hear the ancient and profound sacrificial words sung from the mouth of the hunched monster.
“Rejoice in the love of pain, rejoice in the splashing of blood
Wandering among the shadows of the tombs
Thirst for blood, give fear to mortals
Happiness, dreams, the moon with a thousand faces
Gladly gaze at the sacrifice of your devout followers
」
It was the first time this person entered the tavern, and the spell had just been finished.
As if some magic ritual had begun.
Ji Xun heard the curse that seemed to be whispered by a demon, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
The clown mask has been put on the face in an instant.
Looking at the cross with dark golden blood again, his pupils shrank suddenly: “Not good!”
【Relic·Light and Dark Cross】
Detailed explanation: Level III ancient relic; sacred +9, cursed +9; binds the target, can seal the soul fluctuations that are not higher than the level of the relic itself; this is a torture instrument that imprisoned an indescribable soul in ancient times There are few good and evil sealed artifacts; it is soaked in the blood of the gods and has strong light and dark pollution characteristics;
The attributes of this cross come from the same source as the [Sacred Nail of Light and Darkness] in his hand, and even the enlightened content is almost exactly the same.
Glancing at this, Ji Xun was sure that the strange man carrying the cross in front of him was a follower of the Silver Moon Sect!
Thinking about it this way, and looking at the iconic hunchback, isn’t he the old man Duan, the wanted senior deacon of the Silver Moon Sect?
Look at this posture, it is obvious that the visitor is not kind.
And the hostility was not directed at him, but Xie Guozhong and the three of them!
Dare to come in with a cross on his back so swaggeringly, this guy is obviously determined to kill.
And there is also the certainty of killing!
It is not good to be affected by a battle of this level.
Ji Xun wouldn’t just wait for the other party to make a move.
Almost immediately after putting on the mask, he stepped on the stool and rushed out towards the back door, regardless of what others thought.
As soon as he ran, those people in the tavern were stunned for a few breaths, and they also reacted, scrambling to escape from the tavern.
In the blink of an eye, the tavern, which was still full just now, has already been full of people.
But there are still some people who don’t understand the situation, and watch the excitement from a long distance away.
Xie Guozhong and the others naturally discovered it long ago.
But there was no fear in their eyes, and they sat there firmly.
Since they are the ones to find.
They will naturally not retreat.
On the contrary, I thought it was just right, and saved the trouble of finding those people.
There is only a slight doubt in the eyes.
These guys from the Silver Moon Sect are no longer hiding, and dare to show up in front of them?
The hunched man ignored the others, and there was only a strange and cold smile on his old face.
A black nine-pointed star formation has already appeared under his feet, and the singing has finished, and he finally gave a soft drink: “Spiritualism · Undead Scourge!”
In an instant, it seemed as if the gate of **** was opened, and the dead energy burst out from the nine-pointed star formation under his feet.
Seeing this, the expressions of Xie Guozhong and the other three not far away changed drastically.
Ji Xun jumped out from the back door of the tavern without looking back at all, wanting to stay away from the battlefield.
His original plan was to go outside the camp first to see the situation from a distance.
However, he still underestimated the viciousness of those people from the Silver Moon Sect.
Almost the moment he jumped out of the tavern, a bright white moon appeared in the sky.
Then the ground of the entire camp lit up with black magic runes, and an unknown necromantic barrier covered the entire camp in an instant.
There is a gray and dead air everywhere in the eyes.
Seeing this scene, he immediately knew that he wanted to be simple.
The hunchbacked old man didn’t just target Xie Guozhong and the others at all.
But everyone in the entire camp!
Ji Xun hurried to the gate of the camp to have a look, his expression changed.
The wilderness, where the outline of the mountain could still be seen clearly, is now pitch black, and some huge monster shadows can be vaguely seen.
He had a bad premonition in his heart: “Those guys don’t want to perform some evil rituals to sacrifice the entire camp, right?”
Intuition told him that the possibility is very high.
But now Ji Xun is also in a dilemma. Going out of the camp is definitely not a good choice, and it doesn’t look good if he doesn’t go out.
The other people in the camp didn’t understand what happened, they were all on the street to see the vision of the moon in the sky.
But at this time, Old Dog King Xu ran over with a strange bark: “Second boy, come out quickly, run~ It’s over, it’s over, it’s over.”
Hearing the shout, a young man with a thin sword on his waist rushed out from the tent not far away.
Before Ji Xun could figure out what happened, the strange situation reappeared!
Looking up, a terrifying spiral black hole suddenly appeared in the sky of the camp.
“You won’t be summoning the bone dragon again, will you?”
Ji Xun saw his eyelids twitch.
He has seen this psychic spell before.
In the city of innocence, when the Silver Moon sect went to the auction house to **** the “moon”, this happened once.
But that time was in the city of innocence, and there were many masters.
The Silvermoon Sect was hammered and ran around like a mouse crossing the street.
Right now, this is the wild camp of the Old Continent!
Except for the three of Xie Guozhong whose strength is unknown, he doesn’t think anyone else has the ability to solve this trouble.
However, Ji Xun still underestimated.
These guys are not trying to summon some bone dragon, but a more terrifying existence.
The moment the black hole appeared in the sky, an indescribable aura descended suddenly, overwhelming the entire camp.
Ji Xun is no stranger to this feeling, and thought: “A higher creature?”
In the space before, when I met the Red Baron, I felt the same coercion.
However, this time the coercion is even more violent!
Looking again, a lifeless figure slowly appeared inside the black hole.
However, when Ji Xun was able to clearly see the pair of huge wings spread out on the back of the figure, his pupils kept trembling, and he murmured to himself: “No way.”
This time the bone dragon is not summoned.
But something scarier.
In the black hole, an angel slowly appeared!
A bandage to cover the face, with gray wings growing on the back, an angel who is full of lifelessness, but radiates holy light in the death spirit!
Ji Xun looked at his eyelids and said, “This kind of existence can also be psychic?”
These guys from the Silvermoon Sect, it’s fine to mess around with **** stuff all day long.
Is there a need to get this kind of mythical existence out?
