Cataclysm King - #15 - Chapter 15: Why is this guy gambling his life at every turn?

  Chapter 15 Why does this guy gamble with his life?

  Ji Xun carefully observed the shadows of the few panicked mercenaries.

  He saw very clearly just now that before the man severed his head, the shadow on the ground had an incision first, and then the neck was broken.

   That is to say, some mysterious force killed his shadow.

   Then the talent died.

   “Another incomprehensible means”

   Ji Xun whispered to himself.

   It looks as evil as the previous curse.

   This must be the legendary disaster on the fourth floor of the bunker that no one has ever seen.

  Information said that if someone went to the fourth floor, someone would die inexplicably. The wound was cut with a sharp knife, but no one has ever seen the monster.

  The girl with the mechanical arm on the side saw this scene and felt a chill on her neck.

  This kind of attack method, even she is hard to guard against.

  She glanced around. Although she couldn’t see clearly in the dark, she didn’t panic at all when she heard the subtle rhythm of the heartbeat.

  She knew that this guy was as calm as ever.

  The girl with the mechanical arm didn’t know why the two of them were hiding here, as if they hadn’t been discovered by the monster.

   But he was thinking about his teammate’s action of smashing the gas lamp just now, and seemed to have a vague guess: Can a dark environment avoid monster perception?

  How did this guy figure this out?

  The girl with the mechanical arm feels that she has grasped the main point.

  However, before she could change her mind, the guy next to her suddenly drew her gun again.

   “Bang” and “Bang” several gunshots pierced the eardrums.

  The corner of the girl’s eyes twitched inexplicably, and then her face changed suddenly, and she turned her head to look over in disbelief.

  The catastrophe chased a few mercenaries away. Originally, as long as the two of them hid here quietly, they would have a high probability of avoiding disaster.

  However, people never expected that a gun went off around them!

  The girl with the mechanical arm was also stunned when she saw Ji Xun suddenly raised a gun and extinguished five nearby gas lamps.

   Is this guy crazy again?

  Wouldn’t shooting at this time attract monsters?

But before she could understand anything, a fast but well-organized combat plan came from her ears: “The disaster is hidden in the shadow of people. It will definitely attack me in a while. If you sense it, tell me. If I Make a mistake, and you kill it.”

  “.”

  Hearing this, the girl with the mechanical arm realized in her heart: Did this guy shoot to attract monsters on purpose?

   But, how do you know that monsters “must” come for you?

   And he didn’t have an accurate perception of the monster’s situation, how did he know that the monster was hiding in the shadow?

   Hey. Shadow!

   If the monster hides in the shadow, then if there is no shadow, wouldn’t there be no place for the monster to hide?

   When is there no shadow?

  When there is no light!

  Suddenly it dawned on her, she understood why this guy broke the lamp and hid in the dark.

  Ji Xun knows that his behavior will definitely confuse his teammates. After all, it depends on combat power, so he still has to explain: “Brightness makes people see things, but sometimes it can cover up the bright stars in the dark.”

   Before the monster came, he added another sentence: “Once the target is lost, it will be very troublesome to wait for it to come to us next time.”

  The girl with the robotic arm looked surprised.

   Indeed, when this shadow calamity kills those mercenaries, it will definitely come to find the remaining living people in the laboratory—they!

   When the time comes to be passively attacked, the risk will be infinitely magnified with such a silent stealth method of the monster.

  She also instantly understood why this guy chose to lure monsters now.

   also guessed what he was going to use to deal with it.

  But although she probably figured out the reason, this is the strongest and most troublesome disaster known in this different-dimensional space!

  Every time this guy bets his life, he doesn’t hesitate at all?

  Several sudden gunshots also attracted the attention of the three mercenaries who were facing a desperate situation.

   They were taken aback for a moment, who was shooting?

   Immediately the ecstasy of the aftermath.

  Those two idiots led the monster over!

   Huh. Not right.

   These two guys are not dead?

   Didn’t the kobolds find them?

  But I can’t control it, it’s important to escape now.

  The three wished they hadn’t grown a few more legs at this moment, and disappeared into the passage in just a few blinks of an eye.

  Ji Xun didn’t wait for the monster to kill a few mercenaries before he started. After all, he needed a few bald men to continue to be shit-stirring sticks to touch the unknown danger behind.

   It’s better to keep alive.

   The gunshots just attract the attention of monsters, but not lock aggro.

   In order to fear that the monster would not take the bait, Ji Xun directly took out the lighter.

  As soon as it was lit, Ji Xun’s figure in the darkness was illuminated by the flickering flames.

  The fire light illuminated the face wearing the gas mask, and his pupils reflected the flames, shining brightly.

  Placing the lighter behind him, his swaying shadow appeared in front of him.

  The robotic arm girl already knew what he was going to do.

   This guy wants to use himself as a bait to forcefully kill that monster!

  That guy’s decisiveness didn’t even give her much time to think. At this moment, she couldn’t afford to think about it. She quietly retreated into the darkness, fully on guard. If a teammate makes a mistake, he can make up for it.

   Sure enough, it came!

  The girl’s perception was fully released, and she suddenly found the target.

“coming!”

  Ji Xun also immediately received a signal reminder like a needle **** in his head.

  This kind of spiritual communication is a method negotiated by the two, and it is much more efficient than talking and communicating.

  Almost at the same time, Ji Xun released the [Gambling Dog’s Broken Hand] skill card to his shadow without hesitation.

   While making actions, the enlightenment in his eyes came into his mind.

  【Shadow Demon】

  Detailed explanation: First-order A-level disaster; dark pollution body, good at shadow assassination; it is a demon hiding in the shadow, it can quietly take your life away; death is like the wind, like a shadow.

   Another A-level disaster.

   is the monster on the fourth floor of the bunker that no one has ever seen before.

  Because everyone who saw it died.

  Once it possesses the shadow of a person, it is dead the moment the person sees it.

  However, before Calamity committed the murder, a mysterious force descended.

  Ji Xun predicted his own shadow and released the card-directed skill [Gambling Dog’s Broken Hand].

  A mysterious curse was released, and enlightenment was seen immediately.

  「Release the curse on the target, 50% chance of success, the target is dead」

  Ji Xun survived.

   And his shadow also squirmed and deformed, and fell to the ground.

   Taking a closer look, it was a dwarf monster as black as ink, and it was an A-level calamity 【Shadow Demon】.

  Watching the monster being killed, the girl with the mechanical arm also appeared next to Ji Xun for the first time. She looked at the corpse on the ground in disbelief, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak: A-level disaster was killed again like this?

  The simplicity made her feel like she was dreaming.

  This was the case with [Gambling Dog] before, and it is also the case with [Shadow Demon] now.

   He was killed after a face-to-face meeting.

  If it wasn’t for the fact that she personally hunted down a [Fallen Witch] of the same level and strength before, she would have been severely injured, and she even suspected that the difficulty of this different-dimensional space had been reduced.

  Ji Xun has already explained before that the girl with the mechanical arm knows the so-called secret of customs clearance.

  She also knew that the curse card in Ji Xun’s hand was the “key” to clear the level.

   But even if there are cards, there is only a 50% probability!

  Half the probability to kill monsters, and half the probability to die suddenly.

  How dare this guy?

   Moreover, no one has ever seen the elusive monster on the fourth floor. Even the most complete information I bought from the information dealer was only a few words. How does this guy know that the monster is hiding in the shadows?

  For a while, she even wondered if her temporary teammate was a humanoid calamity. Otherwise, how could he know this different-dimensional space so well? Still slept with the witch all night and survived?

  Thinking together, the girl asked in a strange tone: “How do you know that the monster is hiding in the shadow?”

  Ji Xun heard the tone, and obviously guessed that the girl was thinking about it, and couldn’t laugh or cry: “It was recorded in those files before. Otherwise, what do you think is recorded in such an important clue?”

   As he spoke, he roughly recounted the contents of the file again: “The test subject in the 4011 experimental cabin was secondarily deformed into an A-level assassin-type disaster [Shadow Thorn], hidden in the shadow.”

   “???”

  Hearing this, the girl realized that she was thinking too much, but she was immediately shocked.

   She had a vague impression of what she said, as if there were archives recording some research on monsters.

   But that thick stack, probably can’t be read in a few days, this guy actually remembers it completely after flipping through it?

   Those materials are in her storage space at the moment, and the girl said in a strange tone: “Your such a thick file, have you read it all?”

  Before I was threatened by monsters the whole time, where would I have time to look carefully?

  Ji Xun explained casually: “I haven’t read all of them. I picked some important ones and saw that the description of the monster matched the information you said, so I paid more attention.”

  His thinking is very active, and it is not difficult to see ten lines at a glance.

  He reads alone, and the efficiency is equivalent to several people browsing at the same time.

  This can be regarded as one of the few benefits brought about by a sick mental state.

   But there is no need to explain so much.

  When the girl with the mechanical arm heard this, she suddenly understood something.

   This guy, did he awaken some mysterious talents, such as wisdom?

   This is the only explanation.

   No wonder the body is so weak, but he behaved very calmly from the beginning to the end.

  But remembering is one thing, actually doing it is another.

  The girl frowned again and asked: “But…that card only has a 50% chance of success. Are you not afraid of losing the bet?”

   “Obviously, I bet right.”

  Ji Xun spread his hands casually.

   Of course it’s more than that.

He looked at the gaze beside him who would not stop giving an explanation, and could only explain: “50% probability, if you don’t consider other things, this level is indeed a life gamble. But it can be confirmed now, in this space There are other forces at play.”

   “???”

  The girl with the mechanical arm still didn’t understand.

   The explanation was not clear in a few words, and Ji Xun didn’t mean to explain further, saying: “I will know in a while. We have passed the test of this different-dimensional space, and now we should be close to the final level.”

  Before I encountered a gambling dog, there was indeed a gambling element, but now it is not.

  When he saw [Gambling Dog’s Severed Hand], he was sure that he would be able to kill the Shadow Demon.
