Cataclysm King - #334 - Chapter 334 Vampire Symbiote

After the magic was solved, Ji Xun looked at the [Emperor Stone Tablet] again, and the mysterious symbols on it seemed to be inexplicably related to each other.

The contents are no longer obscure, but there is still an indescribable mystery.

He only understood the part that his own realm could understand.

It was because he understood a little bit that Ji Xun lamented how wonderful the “big rune” on the stone tablet was.

It felt like he had seen a complete and unique “world”.

A world created by a god-level powerhouse, filled with everything.

This is “Rune”.

A special symbol of the origin and mystery of the universe.

Just the most superficial characters contain indescribable information beyond limits.

At this moment, Ji Xun truly realized Lu En’s true meaning.

Just like reading the advanced devil’s language on the original copper plate, the information was too much beyond the cognitive level and could not be retained in the mind.

But because of the 100% compatibility brought about by the power of the demon god [JOKER], the meaning of the words on the emperor’s stone tablet can be analyzed to the maximum extent.

But even so.

Ji Xun still couldn’t explain what he saw.

Even to his own brain, he couldn’t express what he “saw and understood” at this moment.

If we really want to express it, a symbol may require hundreds of thousands or millions of words of lengthy description to express it.

Such is its exaggerated information content.

Seeing this big rune, Ji Xun had never felt so clearly his lack of understanding of the world.

It’s like the description of the “Law of Fire Element” on the stone tablet.

Ji Xun’s current state is simply unable to accurately understand what this law of the universe is.

He could only express to his brain what he saw through campfires, lava, meteors, dark fires, and other different forms of the fire element law manifested in nature. Only then can it leave an impression in cognition.

At this moment, Ji Xun also understood why, to ordinary people, gods were incomprehensible, incomprehensible, and indescribable.

Just because the cognitive system of low-latitude creatures is simply unable to construct the ability to describe that kind of high-latitude existence.

Unthinkable!

The only reason he can understand these superficial things is because of the aura of forced understanding brought to him by [JOKER].

But this kind of understanding, which seemed to have only scratched the surface, was like a treasure to Ji Xun.

This big rune not only improved his understanding of the law, but more importantly, this idea.

An advanced way to connect with the gods!

This allowed Ji Xun to see the future development direction of his career path.

That is: the all-encompassing clown.

This [Emperor Stone] not only records elements, but also war, kingship, mystery, order, wisdom, healing, and love.

Dozens of cosmic laws pointed to by the thirteen extraordinary sequences are among them.

This is the great rune that condensed Emperor Lanlingst’s understanding of the world back then!

Quietly, a month has passed.

It seemed like an eternity passed.

It’s like a flash of lightning.

In front of the stone tablet, only Ji Xun was left sitting there.

He was completely immersed in that mysterious state of understanding, not noticing the passage of time at all, and muttering to himself from time to time: “The earthquakes in [Natural Disasters: Earth Rumble] are the laws of destruction in the form of natural disasters. The embodiment in nature turns out to be the ‘domain’.”

Before, he only knew that he could practice the magical power of [earth ringing], and as long as his understanding was high enough, he could touch the threshold of the field.

But don’t know why.

But at this moment, he really understood.

This [Emperor Stone Tablet] suddenly lifted Ji Xun’s horizons to the top of the mountain.

Although the road to climb still needs to be walked step by step.

But he had seen the direction of the road from above.

Seeing this, Ji Xun’s eyes averted from the stone tablet and he let out a slight breath.

My mind is filled with knowledge at the moment.

It can’t be stuffed any longer.

Although he was confused, his heart felt extremely comfortable.

There is only so much he can understand in his current state.

And what he understands is enough for him to consume for a long time in the future.

After recovering for a long time, Ji Xun’s pupils refocused and he murmured to himself: “[Sen Luo Wan Xiang]. This will be the name of my future field.”

The corners of his mouth raised a brilliant arc, and there was a clearness in his eyes that he had never seen before.

It’s the refreshing pleasure of a clear vision of the future.

Ji Xun’s [JOKER] sequence is very special.

He learned a lot of things, and he was indeed very strong.

But because no one had heard of this sequence, he had no reference for the advanced direction before, so he could only explore it on his own.

One big problem is the direction of future promotion.

Generally speaking, only by having a deep enough understanding of one’s own professional abilities can one successfully reach the “field”, which is the watershed for top-level card masters.

But Ji Xun has the ability to specialize in several career sequences at the same time. No matter which ability he uses as his own direction, it is not suitable.

Even Gong Wu didn’t have any good suggestions.

But now, there is.

What is recorded on the [Emperor Stone Tablet] is the promotion route of the Clown Sequence.

All are specialized and fully blooming.

This is why Talon emperors and high-ranking officials of all ages came to study the stone tablets, and they all gained insights into their respective professional sequences.

Because that great emperor was already proficient in many sequences.

In layman’s terms, career paths are like the “skill trees” in previous games.

The card master’s rank is the trunk. The thicker the trunk, the more abundant fruits it can produce.

The career tree of the fifty-two career sequences is a kind of tree bearing a kind of fruit.

The career tree of the [JOKER] sequence is like grafting, because the main trunk is strong enough, and it can produce colorful and heterogeneous fruits.

The biggest insight from reading the stone tablet was that it allowed Ji Xun to confirm what his skill tree looked like and how it should grow in the future.

After a long time, Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: “Emperor Lanlingst is really a [Grey JOKER].”

Now that he had read the contents on the stone tablet, he was almost certain of this.

This feeling of 100% fit is absolutely indispensable.

At the same time, he was also very curious. The gray clown was so special, but what about the colored clown?

Judging from the current situation, even though Emperor Lanlingst has stood at the pinnacle of the card master civilization, he still has not touched the ultimate secret of this world.

This also aroused Ji Xun’s deep curiosity.

The more you know, the more mysterious this world becomes.

He was also curious about what was under the cracks in the abyss.

However, strength is fundamental.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun glanced at the black stone tablet and sighed: “There is a lot of room for improvement in the future.”

This [Vientiane Rune] is indeed a perfect match for the profession.

Unfortunately, there are many rules that need to be understood.

The more you understand the laws, the stronger your final combat power will be, and the more perfect the field of cohesion will be.

But even in the same professional sequence, there are no identical card masters.

Although Ji Xun and Emperor Lanlingst are both JOKERs, they have different choices and different abilities in the future.

He was extremely emotional when he thought about it.

Now I have mastered many secrets of various professions.

“Gluttony”, “Immortality Curse”, “Supreme Overlord”, “I am the world”, “Inducing the gods to fall”, and the “Kongyue Shenxiang” who has learned a little bit from the Silver Moon Sect seems to be one of them. The mysterious magic method, and the secret method exclusive to the hero sequence “Sunless Sun” that I haven’t had time to decipher yet.

He has seven of the fifty-two magical mysteries in his hands.

But just getting started with these secret techniques took almost all of Ji Xun’s energy.

He doesn’t find practicing hard.

But having to learn so many secret techniques at the same time is already a bit overwhelming for the brain.

There is a feeling of powerlessness.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun became more and more eager to improve his wisdom, thinking in his mind: “The materials for the three masters of life to advance to the fifth level this time must have a significant improvement in the ‘wisdom’ attribute. I don’t know if the Alliance Army Is there any news over there?”

The thoughts in my mind disappeared in a flash.

Ji Xun looked at the empty stone house and saw that he was the only one there.

A few days ago, Chujiu and Nanjing seemed to have understood the restrictions on Augustus’s ancestral mausoleum from this stone tablet, and then it was teleported away with a “swish”.

The tomb keeper said before that the stone tablet is only the entrance.

The real mausoleum contains exclusive secrets left by successive emperors of the Talon royal family to future generations.

But Ji Xun doesn’t envy those things now.

He has received enough.

Just to digest this month’s insights, I won’t have time for a long time in the future.

The two friends had nothing to worry about at the mausoleum.

Ji Xun didn’t know how long they would stay.

Anyway, he had a psychic contract with Nan Jing, so it was convenient to contact him at any time. He planned to leave first.

After taking care of the things that need to be dealt with, I asked Master Merlin to solve the problem of the fifth-level professional card.

Moreover, after Ji Xun heard about the Seven Natural Disaster Monarchs, he also felt that such a chaotic situation was very exciting.

You have to go out and have a look.

Walking out of the stone house, Ji Xun saw the rickety old woman sitting on a stool outside, carving a stone in her hand.

Even if someone came out, the old man didn’t seem to notice it at all and was concentrating on carving those runes.

Ji Xun didn’t dare to bother him, but he bowed and said, “Senior, thank you for your advice.”

The old man didn’t seem to understand and didn’t react at all.

There was only the sound of carving knives and stone fragments falling to the ground.

Ji Xun is not surprised either.

The old man in front of me who has lived for more than three thousand years is not a human being, but a dead soul.

The extraordinary properties of relics will fade over time, let alone memories.

What little sanity she had left could only remember her loyal duty.

After Ji Xun said hello, he turned around and walked into the mist.

It went smoothly and walked out.

Ji Xun followed the way he came and rushed back towards the Screaming Valley camp.

A month has passed, and there are more and more adventurers from the southern continent on the Rune Highlands.

Ji Xun didn’t care either.

The biggest secret in the Rune Highlands is the Mausoleum of Augustus.

The only person left alive in the mausoleum by the trial team this time may be Princess Betty of the Black Dragon Kingdom.

However, that woman was tainted by Queen Silver Moon, so she would not easily reveal the secret of the royal tomb. On the contrary, in order to hide her contamination, she would find ways to hide this experience.

Besides, it wouldn’t be a big problem if it was really leaked.

At present, it seems that the Mausoleum of Augustus is not that easy to break into.

Ji Xun didn’t delay and hurried all the way.

A few days later.

Three hundred miles northwest of Lion City, which is now in ruins, there is a small ruins called “Bone Fortress”.

This is the meeting place agreed with Jia Yu.

During this time, a large number of adventurers from the Southern Continent poured into the Old Continent, and almost all the new cities that had been established by the major families in the Federation were completely wiped out.

Neither the current alliance troops nor the hunters dare to show their heads.

They can only hide and fight guerrillas in the wilderness.

Moreover, the latest news that Ji Xun got was that the officials of the three major kingdoms of the Airel Empire had issued notices that they would not accept the surrender of anyone in the Eastern Wasteland.

He looked like he was going to destroy the Royal Court of Oran and would fight to the death.

Previously, Ji Xun thought that it was because the “Capone Family” of the five major federal congressmen had defected to the enemy, which resulted in the commander of the seventh-order Red Dragon Legion being ambushed, which caused the Southern Continent to lose trust in Donghuang.

Looking at it now, it is actually not the case.

The fact should be that some high-ranking officials in the Airel Empire wanted to use the war to complete some kind of extraordinary promotion ceremony.

Only the “War of Destruction” may have such ritual specifications.

Ji Xun hasn’t touched that level yet, but has only deduced some causes and effects.

Maybe there is some deeper meaning.

And he can see that the deep-seated hidden danger is that “military disaster” is already hidden in the current situation and is getting worse.

Beside a dry well in the ruins of the fortress, Ji Xun was thinking when he suddenly heard footsteps.

Looking up, two mysterious men wearing special Illuminati cloaks came out not far away.

Before anyone arrived, the soft voice came first: “Hey, long time no see, why do I feel that your temperament is different, Ji Xun?”

The person who spoke opened his cloak, revealing a head of wavy brown hair and a charming face.

It is Irene, the chief intelligence officer of the Illuminati, “The Firebearer”.

Ji Xun stood up and smiled, “Sister Aileen, long time no see.”

Irene stared at Ji Xun for a moment, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: “Tsk, tsk, you change so much every time I see you.”

As she said that, she raised her eyebrows and said with a confirmation expression: “Well~ He’s getting more and more handsome.”

Having played cards together before, Ji Xun knew a lot about this person’s cheerful temperament. He had no stage fright at all and said with a smile: “Sister Aileen is getting more and more beautiful.”

“Oh~ I love hearing this.”

As she spoke, Eileen gestured to the people who came with her out of the corner of her eye, and complained in disgust: “It’s not like some people who say that I want to ‘die alone'”

Ji Xun laughed and looked aside.

Another cloaked man looked up and revealed a pale face, it was Jia Yu, the leader of the Illuminati.

Ji Xun frowned: “How is your injury?”

His current condition was worse than the last time he saw him. Ji Xun even suspected that this guy might die suddenly at any time.

Jia Yu listened but shook his head and said disapprovingly: “It’s not a big problem. Let’s go and talk as we go.”

Ji Xun nodded.

Ji Xun and the others walked all the way from the ruins into the dark valley.

Then he walked into a secret passage going underground.

Rock formations can limit energy spillover.

In the same way, a deep enough underground cave can also be exempted from various detection methods to a large extent.

This is a secret base of the Illuminati Priory.

As he walked, Jia Yu said: “I received the message you sent me, and it really helped a lot. Before, I speculated that those people looking for jars in the southern continent might have something to do with the outer gods, but now it’s basically certain. , There are indeed signs of the resurgence of the alien gods. However, it may not be the ‘Lord of War Disasters’. The southern continent is the domain of the dragon clan, and I suspect that there is something hidden in it. “

Ji Xun: “Oh?”

He had thought of the same information before, and this mushroom head could definitely think of more.

Jia Yu raised a very unanswerable question as soon as he arrived: “The biggest question is, have you ever thought about why the ‘Seven Lords of Natural Disaster’ can’t be killed? It is true that some of them are difficult to kill. But that’s not the case. All. But the fact is that even Emperor Lanlingst can’t do anything about it. There must be other reasons.”

“.”

Ji Xun had thought about the same problem before.

Since the jar has always existed, why isn’t such a dangerous thing eliminated?

It can only be a possibility, but it cannot be solved.

The Tarun Dynasty also had powerful gods at the divine level, but they were all killed. Why couldn’t those outside gods be killed?

If it is faith, it seems that the conditions for large-scale faith pollution are not met now.

This is very confusing.

Before he could be confused, Jia Yu gave the answer directly: “Either the killing method is wrong; or the thinking is wrong.”

Wrong idea?

Ji Xun catalog meditation.

Jia Yu said: “Master Merlin’s research gave me a new idea. Through a large number of experimental studies, he analyzed the genetic chain of the two old gods, ‘Scarlet Corruption’ and ‘Beast Blood Boiling’, and came to a very interesting conclusion. “

“oh?”

Ji Xun’s eyes lit up and he vaguely caught something.

Master Merlin’s genetic technology is in a different direction from the technology tree of Talon’s period. His research is more at the micro level.

Although they are both extraordinary black technologies, one is more metaphysical and the other is more scientific.

Jia Yu did not beat around the bush and said directly: “Although the gene chain of the gods is extremely powerful and has rich branches, the two alien gods have many similarities in some key origin genes.”

Ji Xun: “You mean”

“I am also not certain.”

Jia Yu behaved very rigorously. He didn’t like to guess the answer, but said: “So, I plan to go there and confirm some conjectures.”

Ji Xun guessed what he wanted to do and said slightly surprised: “Are you going to the Southern Continent?”

“Um.”

Jia Yu nodded: “After the Southern Continent learned that the jar of ‘Scarlet Corruption’ had appeared in the Eastern Wasteland, they had sent several elite groups to look for it. Although we had deceived it once before with bait, we paid a lot of effort. It’s a small price. And judging from the current situation, the Holy See is bound to get those jars. With the current methods, I don’t see any hope that we can save them.”

Ji Xun frowned slightly and asked, “But your body?”

He was not surprised by the “dark under the light” response plan.

I just think it’s feasible.

Mushroom heads, which were in full bloom before, can be found everywhere.

But in his current state, any gunman could probably kill him.

“It’s not that bad.”

Jia Yu didn’t care at all and said calmly: “This kind of injury is not a bad thing for me.”

Ji Xun: “???”

This is going to die, isn’t that bad?

Jia Yu’s eyes were like mist, and he chuckled: “Destiny affects a person’s life. We must accept its good stages as well as its bad stages. Happiness and pain, enjoyment and suffering, good and bad are all ‘me’ ’, this is the complete world.”

“oh?”

Ji Xun listened and thought for a moment. Now he also understood “I am the world”, so it was easy to understand what Mushroom Tou wanted to express.

The other party is giving instructions to himself.

He then laughed at himself: “It’s just that I’m too narrow-minded.”

Jia Yu smiled at Yaoyao, glanced at Ji Xun, and said, “Your progress has surprised me. At least I thought it would take you several years to reach this level.”

He saw the change in Ji Xun, and he sincerely sighed: “This way I can leave with peace of mind. If I can’t come back, please remember to give me some guidance when I meet the next person wearing the mask of the Light Chaser.”

“.”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun and Irene, who had been listening on the side, both had stern expressions.

Jia Yu didn’t care, and always had a relaxed smile on his face: “Actually, sometimes, it’s good to stop. Stop and think about your career sequence, and you can also calm down and write a few good scripts. This This injury gave me a deeper understanding of the world I understand.”

As he spoke, he paused, and his tone was free and easy: “Besides, I am a [bard], and I should travel around and see the world.”

Hearing this, Ji Xun stared at the steps at his feet and snorted softly: “Yeah.”

Many of the fortresses in the Talon period had complex tunnels.

This secret base is about three hundred meters underground.

Ji Xun followed Jia Yu down and saw a large amount of experimental equipment at first glance.

This is Master Merlin’s laboratory.

When the three of them came down, the old man in a white coat with tentacles all over his body was busy.

Ji Xun took the initiative to say hello: “Master Merlin.”

Merlin’s hands were not idle, he turned his head and said hello: “Hey, Ji Xun, long time no see.”

The two of them didn’t say a word, but something seemed to be triggered.

At this time, the jar filled with red liquid like a pool of blood in the center of the laboratory began to vibrate.

It seemed like some monster was trying to escape.

The blood was boiling, and the air was filled with a familiar smell of blood.

Ji Xun is very familiar with this, which is the scarlet corruption pollution.

But Master Merlin didn’t seem surprised by this situation.

He poured some green medicine into the jar and muttered at the same time: “Jia Yu, can’t you postpone it for a few more days? The condition of the experimental subject is not very stable now, and I am afraid that something will happen on the road.”

Jia Yu sounded helpless and said, “I can’t wait. If we don’t leave as soon as possible, we can stay at this base for up to three days before giving up. All the experimental equipment and so on will have to be scrapped.”

“.”

Merlin was speechless when he heard that, and said with a flat mouth: “Forget it. I can only prepare a little more [Scarlet Inhibitor] for you. You should be careful when the time comes. If it is really contaminated, you will not be able to save it. “

Ji Xun couldn’t hide his confusion as he listened to the conversation between the two.

He did know that the jar of scarlet corruption was in the laboratory.

But what is going on?

Before he could think about it, the blood of the injected medicine immediately stopped boiling, the liquid became clear, and a strong middle-aged man covered in evil ghost tattoos appeared in his field of vision.

Ji Xun blinked: “Lao Xie?”

Jia Yu on the side knew what he was wondering about and explained: “In order to take the jar out of the Shenxu treasure house, the people of the Scarlet Sect used symbiosis to hide it in the captain’s body. Originally, this problem was very difficult. We have to take out the jar, The captain will die if he doesn’t take it out, he will spread the contamination sooner or later.”

Ji Xun also frowned when he heard this.

I also figured it out.

Those scarlet believers were betting on Jia Yu’s hesitation.

The fact is that Xie Guozhong is not dead.

It seems that the situation is still controllable for now.

Jia Yu added: “Later, Master Merlin came up with a way. Use ‘forced symbiosis’ to directly fuse the flesh and blood of the outer god with the captain, making him the flesh and blood carrier of the outer god. Both sides of the symbiote are completely dependent on each other for survival. , no one dares to kill anyone. And as long as the captain’s consciousness is still there, he can control the scarlet corruption in the jar. Well, this is a bit similar to your situation. Now he is a vampire whose body is contaminated, but he is not contaminated by faith. “

Ji Xun: “That’s it.”

It sounded a bit like Master Merlin’s previous proposal to implant the evil god’s tentacles in his mind.

As he said this, Master Merlin on the side also added: “Thanks to Ji Xun’s blood sample, otherwise this plan really wouldn’t work. But his situation is more complicated, and there is a high possibility of losing control. The medicine can only be used Temporary suppression is still far from a complete solution.”

Ji Xunzheng felt that he couldn’t talk about this topic. Suddenly, the sword behind him vibrated.
