Cataclysm King - #23 - Chapter 23: Devil's Crossing

  Chapter 23 Devil’s Crossing Ruins

  Ji Xun was originally curious about what the outside world was like, but as soon as he came out, he heard Chu Jiu’s voice.

  The urgency in the tone already indicated something.

   Without any hesitation at all, he followed along and dived into the mist.

  There is thick fog all around, and Ji Xun doesn’t know where he is, and it seems to be night, and there is no light.

   Fortunately, the [Joker card] was integrated before, and the night vision ability has been greatly enhanced, and the vision is basically unimpeded.

  The ground is concrete. Looking at the dark shadows around, it seems that there are some tall buildings.

  Ji Xun guessed that this should be in a certain building complex.

   Weeds, cracks, and shadows of unknown creatures are full of signs of dilapidation left by the years, and it looks like some ancient city ruins.

  The ninth day of the ninth day did not speak, and led the way ahead, walking quickly all the way.

   The two didn’t stop until they reached a platform.

  Ji Xun took a look. It looked like the roof of some building. There were taller buildings in the fog above his head, and some low ones below.

   Before he could see where it was, Chu Jiu suddenly took out a bottle of potion, and then sprinkled it all over Ji Xun’s body like disinfecting it.

  Ji Xun hadn’t figured out what was going on, so he heard his teammate say: “This is [deodorant potion].”

   Chujiu knew that with this guy’s IQ, he would never fail to think of the reason, and he didn’t mean to explain much.

  Ji Xun listened, and sure enough, he immediately understood the intention.

   You can tell from the name that this is a means of preventing tracking.

  My teammate is as cautious as ever.

   At the same time, it also confirmed his previous conjecture. He broke through the different-dimensional space and caused trouble for the upper body.

  Although there is a small probability that the ninth day of the ninth day is also aimed at his own things, but facing this teammate who is in the same trouble, he is definitely better than the young master of the Cao family.

   “Hold on!”

  The ninth day of the ninth day finished using up the potion, and suddenly gave a soft drink.

  Time was running out, she had no intention of explaining, and grabbed Ji Xun’s tactical vest.

   Then he jumped up and jumped down towards the foggy cliff in front of him.

  Although she has seen that this guy is very smart, she still has to admit that this guy’s physical fitness is really terrible.

  Let him jump by himself, fearing that he might fall to his death on the spot.

  Although Ji Xun guessed that they were running away, his eyelids twitched when he jumped off the cliff.

  Before he could react, his body was brought down by Chu Jiu.

right!

   is free fall like bungee jumping.

  The soul is still on the platform, but the body has already fallen towards the abyss, chasing after it madly.

   On the ninth day of the ninth day, the steel cable on the mechanical arm was ejected in mid-air, and the “hissing” sound of the steel wire stretching sounded, and then it sounded like it was hanging on some iron frame, with a bang.

  Ji Xun immediately felt a downward buffer force in his body, and his soul finally caught up.

  Cold wind pavement, wet.

  There was a layer of mist on the gas mask, and he easily twisted himself with one hand on this weak woman who looked half a head shorter than him, swinging like a swing among the misty buildings.

   Although this method is a bit scary, the displacement speed is very fast.

   After about seven or eight times of catapulting the cables, they were already far away from the previous building.

   “Keng.”

  Ji Xun stepped on the ground with both feet, and when he looked closely, they were stepping on a huge metal pipe.

   Fog filled the air, and the bottom of the pipeline was still invisible. The sound of gurgling water can be heard, and it is estimated to be at least twenty or thirty meters high.

  Chu Jiu didn’t look back and continued to lead the way. As she walked, she reminded: “Be careful, there are some aberrations in the ditch below, and it will be very troublesome if you fall down. People will notice if you make a noise.”

“Um.”

  The mist filled the air, and the water vapor was sticking to the pipe, which would make it slippery if not careful. Ji Xun walked cautiously.

  At this time, he had the opportunity to say: “Thank you.”

   Obviously, this teammate did him a big favor just now, and even saved his life, so thank you is only right.

  The tone of the ninth day of the ninth day was very calm, still the tone of not wanting to owe favors: “I can’t talk about thank you, everyone can get what they need for cooperation. Without you before, I couldn’t get out of that alien space.”

  She knew very well that without this guy’s unbelievable way of thinking to break the situation, she would not be able to get out of the space smoothly and have such a rich harvest.

   Not only was the job transfer material beyond expectations, she even got an A+ evaluation when she came out to settle the settlement.

  It is very rare to get an A+ in a different-dimensional space of this difficulty.

   This allowed her to draw another card that fit her.

  So, Chu Jiu felt that this favor was owed.

   But it was precisely because of the high evaluation that she guessed that it would cause big trouble.

  She knew very well that she got an A+ evaluation, and that teammate’s evaluation was definitely higher.

  S evaluation?

  The probability is very high.

  But once someone in the different-dimensional space gives an S rating, the entire space will inevitably collapse and disappear.

   At that time, it will inevitably cause big trouble.

  The ninth day of the junior high school stayed.

   Sure enough, she waited nearby for a short time when the 407 different-dimensional space suddenly collapsed.

  The fourth young master of the Cao family probably thought they were dead, or they were just card master apprentices, so they only sent some mercenaries from the Blackwater Regiment to guard them.

   And after the space collapses, the exit position will also become random.

   This also gave Chu Jiu the idea of ​​wanting to help.

   Fortunately, everything went well.

  Her tricks were too easy to fool some mercenaries, but she used some tricks to make the fog thicker. Before those mercenaries could see the situation clearly, she had already found them.

  Ji Xun heard this, smiled and said indifferently: “Miss Chu Jiu, you are too polite, I would not have survived without you.”

  Paused, he said again: “Besides, you have saved me again now.”

   On the ninth day of the ninth day, I listened and didn’t speak again.

  Both of them are smart people, there is no need to beat around the bush when talking, and there is no need to be courteous to each other.

  They walked another section of the pipe, and Chu Jiu in front jumped down and landed on another horizontal pipe four meters below.

   This is probably the height that a supernatural person can jump casually?

   But Ji Xun, a weak chicken, looked at this height, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

   Reason is not afraid, but physical conditions do not allow it.

  He speculated that it was one thing to hurt his legs when he jumped down, but it was a high probability event that he fell into the fog of unknown depth when he fell off the pipe.

  Ji Xun wasn’t embarrassed at all, and said with a smile, “Miss Chu Jiu, if I fall, can you pick me up?”

  “.”

   Chu Jiu listened and looked up.

  This guy’s domineering aura that controlled everything in the different-dimensional space before, and his demeanor that he cowers even when jumping a pipe, are really two completely different people.

   But looking at him like this, Chu Jiu felt that some thoughts in his heart were balanced.

  Ji Xun saw that she acquiesced, and jumped directly.

   There was a “boom” on the ground, and the weak chicken swayed left and right, and it was about to fall as expected.

  The moment he lost his balance, a hand pulled him back again.

  Ji Xun stood firm and said again: “Thank you.”

Chu Jiu did not respond, but continued: “The S-level evaluation of the different-dimensional space will disappear, that is to say, now everyone knows that the most important treasure in it is in your hands. The fourth young master of the Cao family discovered that the space If your things are taken by someone, you will never let it go. And the reputation of 407 space is not small, and many people in the Devil’s Crossing camp are staring at it. Before the news spreads, you’d better go back to Innocence City, as long as It’s hard to find you even in the Governor’s Mansion if you’re in the city.”

   Speaking of this, Chu Jiu suddenly stopped.

   Not everyone has heard of the “Epic Source Card”. She originally wanted to remind the value of that thing.

   But as she spoke, she felt that her words seemed redundant.

  It is impossible for such a smart guy not to think of this.

   But Ji Xun was taken aback when he heard it, and then what?

   He can naturally think of threats.

  But he doesn’t know anything about this world, what “Devil’s Crossing Camp”, “Innocence City”, what is going on, he has no clue at all.

  I wanted to hear more information from Chu Jiu, but I didn’t expect her to stop talking.

  Ji Xun guessed what she was thinking, but now it was obvious that intelligence was more important, so he asked directly: “So you think, how do I go back to Innocence City to be safe?”

  Jujiu heard it strange, though he felt that this guy shouldn’t ask such a question. But he also responded: “Half an hour later, the train carrying the Hunters Guild will leave Devil’s Crossing. Now that the news has not spread, it should be your best chance to leave.”

  Ji Xun silently wrote it down.

   It turns out there are still trains.

   If leaving, it really is as soon as possible.

  The young master of the Cao family valued the epic source card so much, even if he knew who had taken it away, he would never publicize it.

   It is the best choice to leave this ruin before the news spreads.

   Of course, the premise is that he can leave smoothly.

  The two of them walked on the pipeline for more than ten minutes. This is like a super large steelmaking plant, with various large and small pipelines inside.

  The surrounding buildings are also unique in style, tall and slender, like towers. Also, there are various pipes and covered bridges on each building, with a strong magical punk style.

   If Ji Xun remembers correctly, Chu Jiu said the name more than once, it seems to be called “Devil’s Crossing”.

  Walking and walking, the two had already reached a platform, which was also very high in the ruins, and their vision suddenly became clear.

  The mist is like a sea of ​​clouds, accumulating under the waist of the building.

  The two of them are at the waist right now, and there are tall buildings all around.

  Dilapidated, old, vicissitudes. Traces of the years are everywhere, and the whole city is filled with a mysterious and ancient charm.

  However, what surprised Ji Xun even more was that this turned out to be a dungeon?

  Looked at the sky, but didn’t see any stars, it was dark.

  The light source of the whole city seems to come from some crypt plants and the materials of the buildings themselves have a faint fluorescence.

  There is also a volcano in the distance.

  There is a tall active volcano at the end of the field of vision?

  Yes, underground volcanoes!

   Ji Xun was also stunned when he looked at it, no wonder he felt that there was always a sulfur smell in the air.

  The crimson magma flowing out of the crater is particularly conspicuous in this dark underground world.

   Taking a closer look, the layout of the buildings in the entire ruins presents a huge “cross shape”.

  Overlooking from a height, it looks like a mysterious symbol with some kind of magical effect.

   No wonder this relic is called “Devil’s Crossing”.

  Ji Xun was amazed in his heart: “What a magnificent underground city, what’s going on in this world?”

   Listening to this, such a magnificent city is just an ancient ruin.

  The city of innocence where humans live is still elsewhere.

  Not far from the field of vision, a building was shining with fire, and there was a lot of people there, probably the “Hunter Camp”.

  The ninth day of the ninth day came here and stopped, as if to bid farewell: “The camp is ahead, and there are no aberrations around here, let’s just say goodbye.”

“Um.”

  Ji Xunting nodded.

   Escorted here, already very kind.

   He can walk over this distance by himself.

  I thought Chu Jiu came to help me for some reason, but now that I see it, I really worry too much.

   This teammate really doesn’t want to owe any favors.

When parting, Chu Jiu reminded one last sentence: “One more thing. No matter who asks in the future, you’d better not say that you have met me, otherwise you will cause endless troubles. Also, don’t mention it to anyone. And your gains in this different-dimensional space, otherwise it will be very troublesome.”

   Ji Xun naturally knew, “Take care.”

   Chujiu didn’t speak, and jumped down.

  Ji Xun watched the graceful figure disappear into the thick fog. Without his teammates, the breeze around him seemed to be full of murderous intent.

  He walked towards the camp without much delay.
