Cataclysm King - #368 - Chapter 368 First Class Car No. 002
The other gamblers were willing to admit defeat and took out their previous betting chips.
The old fox Ji Xun was looking at was particularly dazzling.
You can’t defeat him even if you fight him, and your excuses for being tough are untenable.
What’s more, the conductor of the Netherworld Train spoke.
Hu Qiye’s face looked uncertain for a while.
But after all, he is a legendary strongman, and he has to save some face for himself.
Not just for himself, but also for the Bai family and all the immortal families.
Hu Qiye snorted coldly: “Okay, I’m willing to admit defeat!”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, ready to pick up the spell bandage that had been spread out just now and seal his right arm again.
But at this time, a strange scene occurred.
The moment Hu Qiye admitted defeat, his anger was instantly extinguished.
His destiny was severely damaged, some contract was broken somehow, and he immediately lost control of the forbidden magic weapon.
Suddenly, the black arm suddenly swelled and was about to become deformed.
Hu Qiye’s expression changed drastically, and he tried his best to control the deformed arm.
But it’s still too late!
Relying on this [Black Demon], he has reached the legendary realm today.
Because of this, he had long been contaminated by this forbidden magic weapon and became a slave to it.
He was completely unable to control the out-of-control violent demonic power in his right arm. Suddenly, the seven yellow talismans on his arm all lit up, as if they were about to reveal themselves, and at the same time, an indescribable and terrifying black energy burst out.
“not good!”
Hu Qiye looked horrified, his left hand stuck tightly on the shoulder of his right arm, and he looked like he wanted to tear the arm off.
But the black arm seemed to have an evil spirit, which did not give the host a chance to suppress and seal itself. The black air that emerged instantly reversed, and in a “whoosh” moment, Hu Qiye’s body shriveled up like a deflated balloon.
His soul, body, and the shadow of the fox fairy behind him were sucked into his arm.
The black arm absorbed the flesh and blood of the host, and its ferocity did not restrain at all. It felt like countless terrifying beings sealed in the arm were trying to escape from time and space.
In the carriage, all the immortals seemed to be facing a formidable enemy and seemed to be very afraid of this arm.
However, before the arm could move wildly, as if it had touched some restriction, a flash of light flashed in the carriage, and the restless demonic energy on the arm was suppressed.
The aura of the talisman dimmed instantly, and the wrapped bandage was rolled up by an invisible force, wrapping the black arm tightly in the blink of an eye.
The overflowing demonic energy was instantly swept away.
“Clang!”
The arm fell on the floor of the carriage, completely motionless.
Although it was a little unexpected, the ending was still the same, and the stakes were high.
Not far away, Ji Xun, who was watching this scene the whole time, his eyes were full of surprise: “The Devourer? Did he eat it?”
This was the first time he had seen such an evil relic.
He clearly felt an evil and violent aura just now, so the [Black Demon] must have a weapon spirit.
However, it doesn’t seem to be controlled by its owner, and even eats the owner as nourishment.
Like a wild horse that has not been tamed at all, it fell to death and killed the knight who wanted to control it.
Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of a possibility: “Isn’t it possible that the abilities sealed in this arm were obtained by ‘eating people’?”
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he was amazed in his heart: “Interesting.”
Facing this kind of evil thing, Ji Xun not only didn’t feel afraid.
On the contrary, it feels very appetizing.
In the scene just now, he seemed to resonate with that arm.
Understand its unruly attitude when it eats people: If you don’t have the ability, don’t be my master!
There was silence in the carriage.
Even Qin Rushi had a serious look on his face when he looked at the heavily bandaged arm.
The effect is strong, but this thing bites the owner and makes people lose interest in it all of a sudden.
Ji Xun didn’t care at all. He walked over and picked up the arm on the ground, and asked politely: “This relic is mine. Do you have any objections?”
Of course no opinion.
The passengers in the carriage looked at Ji Xun a little strangely.
The conductor, who was covered in black energy, didn’t say anything. He only reminded a few words: “Since you won the thing, of course you can take it away. But this [Black Demon] is inherited from the Bai family. At least in recent generations, the hosts have It’s a backlash. Please be careful.”
Ji Xun lowered his eyelids as he listened, revealing a hint of serious thought.
After pondering for a moment, he responded with a smile: “Yes. Thanks for letting me know.”
Although he wasn’t afraid, he wasn’t careless either. He took out a box from the storage ring and put his arm in it.
Then he attached the sealing spell and talisman and carried it on his back.
After such a fuss, the atmosphere in the carriage was already very strange, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ji Xun and the two.
Fortunately, I just won a [neon first-class ticket], so I don’t have to stay in this ordinary car anymore.
The conductor looked at the ticket in Ji Xun’s hand and said before they asked, “You can go to the first-class carriage. Do I need to change your seats?”
Ji Xun glanced at Qin Rushi, watched her nod, and responded: “Of course.”
Conductor: “Come with me.”
Ji Xun and Qin Rushi followed the conductor through several ordinary carriages.
Just like the previous section, the carriages were packed with people.
Until now, Ji Xun has actually figured out that these passengers are all immortals.
The auras vary in strength and weakness, and some of them are unfathomable.
This [Neon] Netherworld Train is actually the Immortal Family Special Train.
Before Ji Xun, why did the Bai family and the Xian family gather on this train, thinking it was for the two of them.
But now it seems that it is not.
The two of them are not worthy of being surrounded by so many immortal families.
Along the way just now, in addition to the Xian family, Ji Xun also saw several passengers with children who were obviously human in the carriage.
Qin Rushi also said before that she took a ride once when she was a child under the leadership of her elders.
But the elders in the family didn’t tell her what was going on with the train.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun vaguely understood.
The descendants of the Bai family will take this train when they reach the appropriate age. In fact, this is a trial.
Let the immortals with special skills choose the host.
This is why Ji Xun got the Essence Card from Kestrel before, and the [Immortal Technique·Miao Hand Kong Kong] from the thief.
In fact, these are the tacit rules on the train.
The immortals will give some small tests to give the descendants of the Bai family some opportunities.
But this kind of trial cannot be explained clearly.
Otherwise it will lose its meaning.
This is also the most important reason why Qin Rushi should have guessed it before but didn’t tell Ji Xunming.
Ji Xun guessed it now, but also didn’t say it out loud.
I just feel deeply about the heritage of the Bai family.
The two of them walked along like this and soon passed the noisy carriage.
The first-class seats on the train all have independent compartments.
Ji Xun was curious about the passengers in the box.
Thinking that the previous ordinary carriages were for the Bai family’s heirs to test, what about these carriages?
The door is closed and nothing can be seen.
After passing through more than a dozen sealed carriages, the two of them arrived at the box with 002 written on the brass nameplate.
Listening to the whistling sound, this should be at the front of the train.
There are still a few carriages away from the front of the train.
The conductor, who was covered in black air, didn’t talk nonsense the whole time. He opened the door and gestured: “You two, these are your seats.”
Ji Xun: “Okay, thank you.”
Qin Rushi also nodded politely.
After taking a look, an orange light in the private room illuminated a piece of classical and luxurious interior furniture.
Although the area is small,
There is a bed, a sofa, and a separate bathroom.
Much better than a hard seat.
Just when the two of them thought that the change was an ordinary seat change, the conductor reminded: “Also, no matter what you hear or see, don’t open the box until you arrive at the station. Door. Try not to walk around.”
“???”
Ji Xun immediately turned his head and glanced at the conductor: What do you mean?
This sentence seems to contain a lot of information.
Qin Rushi obviously didn’t know either.
The conductor seemed to have no intention of explaining at all.
He just performed the duties he was told and turned around and left.
The two people were left looking at each other.
Qin Ru thought of something, and the fairy spirit leaked from his body, and he said to the conductor who had turned to leave: “Thank you, senior, for your advice.”
This polite voice stopped the conductor for a moment, and he actually added a reminder: “Oh, one more thing. The relic [Black Demon] you just won once belonged to the passengers in Car No. 007.”
As he said that, he never looked back. As he walked, his figure gradually became transparent like a ghost and disappeared into the carriage.
Ji Xun and Qin Ru’s eyes touched and they were silent for a second.
Only then did they realize that this spacious special seat didn’t seem to be that easy to sit in.
There were other passengers next to those boxes.
But just for a moment, Ji Xun chuckled, breaking the silence.
Qin Ruzhu knew his character and was not afraid of him either, so the two of them walked into the box.
After closing the door, the gloomy feeling was immediately isolated.
Ji Xun pondered: “What does the conductor mean by saying that the passengers in Car No. 007 are still on the train?”
Humans certainly wouldn’t live that long.
There is a high probability that it is some kind of special existence.
And there are more than a dozen such special-seat boxes next door.
It’s so lively.
With that said, he sat on the sofa and muttered again: “This Netherworld Train has many secrets.”
Although he was aware of the possible danger, there was no hint of timidity on his face.
Instead, he became very curious about this train full of secrets.
I also took a ride on a Netherworld train to the ruins of Xia Mu City last time, but I don’t know if there is any connection between the two trains.
“I don’t know either.”
Qin Ru shook his head and responded: “This [Neon] train has very high authority. Except for a few people from the Bai family, no one knows what is going on. But from the information I know so far, this ‘002 ticket ‘It was originally owned by the Bai family.”
The most accurate source of information she knew about this train was the one she rode on it when she was a child.
Ji Xun was not surprised to hear this.
He even felt that the top brass of the Bai family in Donghuang might not fully know the secret of this train.
After all, it was just the [Black Demon] just now, whose level was so high that even the legendary card master couldn’t control it.
As the original owner, the passengers in Room 007 must be much higher than the legendary realm.
Therefore, it can only be inherited from the Bai family during the Talun period.
Thinking of something, Ji Xun muttered again: “Hey, it seems that the old fox took out this ticket just because he wanted to get along with you, Aunt Qin, if he loses.”
“Um.”
Qin Rushi also thought of this.
Since she wants to get the other two inherited treasures, she also has the approval of the Bai family immortals.
So you must take this train too.
Moreover, the other party also used methods within the rules, so she had to accept it no matter what.
Neither of them cared.
On the contrary, they all found this first-class carriage very relaxing both physically and mentally.
Qin Ru was sitting on the edge of the bed. After sitting down in her cheongsam with high slits, her fair and slender legs were exposed.
She folded her legs gracefully and tilted her head to look at Ji Xun, who was playing with the bandaged severed arm with great interest.
After thinking about it, she still warned: “This relic is very dangerous. Be careful.”
“Um.”
Of course Ji Xun wants it.
The devil can tempt people to fall because the devil offers temptations that people cannot resist.
In the eyes of any card master, this arm has an irresistible temptation.
Just the two entries “Skill +99” and “Elemental Affinity +50%” can greatly improve the efficiency of practice.
In Ji Xun’s hands, he is confident that his practice efficiency can be improved several times.
So much so, that even if you know that this thing is evil, it will make people feel that it is worth taking the risk.
The more dangerous and mysterious it is, the more it arouses people’s curiosity.
This is especially true for Ji Xun’s character.
Qin Ruzhi was familiar with him and that’s why he reminded him.
Ji Xun also knows.
Although he didn’t say it, he had countless thoughts in his heart that he would definitely give it a try.
If it had been before, he would have devoted himself to studying various methods and trying to unseal the relic.
But it’s different now.
In addition to this thought, “I am the world” also automatically infers risk.
Ji Xun pondered for a moment, then thought of some other thoughts, and said relaxedly: “Compared with the danger of the relic itself, the purpose of the person behind it is more worthy of attention.”
Qin Rusu glanced at him: “Oh?”
Ji Xun deduced some interesting results and said with a smile: “It seems that a certain guy has analyzed my mentality and made a special game.”
It seems that Ji Xun won this arm by gambling his life.
There are no flaws in the process.
But in fact, there is another possibility: What if the opponent expects that the arm will be output?
If Ji Xun is setting up the game himself, he will definitely consider how Plan B can continue to achieve the goal after Plan A fails.
If the gamble wins, this is Plan A;
But if the gamble fails and the force fails, then it’s time to launch Plan B.
So if we work backwards, the cause and effect of the matter is not so difficult to understand.
“Someone wants me to use this [Black Demon] and then control my body. Although I don’t know how to do it, I think it should be some special ability of the relic itself. For example, ‘evil spirit possession’ or ‘immortal possession'” Home séance’ means”
Ji Xun expressed his analysis.
He continued: “For this reason, the old man lost his life before, so he was willing to spend money. But I guess he may not know that he is in the game.”
Qin Ru also felt that it made sense.
She knew that Ji Xun was proficient in the magical and mysterious method “I am the world”.
As long as there is enough information, it is impossible to hide any logical problem from him.
Ji Xun came to the conclusion: “So, there is a high probability that I will use this arm at some point in the future. What I have to consider now is how to minimize the risk if I really need to use this dangerous relic.”
Qin Ruzhi glanced at him in surprise: “Huh?”
Knowing that someone is planning it, are you still fooled?
There was a flash of eagerness in Ji Xun’s eyes, and no shrinking from the risk at all, and he explained: “As long as you don’t give up the relic immediately, you will face this problem sooner or later. What’s more, if it were me, I would definitely create this opportunity for my opponent. “
Knowing that someone was plotting against him aroused his competitive spirit even more.
The clever thing about the other party is that they calculated his mentality into it.
The person who did the layout is a master.
It was just when he thought of this that Ji Xun found it interesting.
Qin Rushi glanced at him and didn’t persuade him any more.
Just because he knew Ji Xun’s character, he didn’t persuade him, and he knew he couldn’t.
She felt that what she had to do was share some risks as much as possible.
Ji Xun looked at the carriage and said, “However, what is more important right now is whether we can get off the car safely.”
After a pause, he looked at Qin Rushi sitting on the bed and asked, “Aunt Qin, have you discovered that this private room has a special warming effect on the soul?”
Qin Ru nodded: “Yes.”
She understood better what this meant and said bluntly: “Not only the carriage, but the entire Netherworld train may be the special secret realm of the Bai family’s Wenyangxian family.”
Ji Xun fell into deep thought as he listened.
The previous train in Xia Mucheng was related to the “Law of Time”.
And this trip to [Neon] seems to be related to “soul”.
Does it matter?
at the same time.
The Bai Family in the City of Thieves.
In a small building in a luxurious manor.
A handsome young man is playing chess leisurely.
Opposite him was not a human, but a [Golden Eyed Fairy Fox] with strange eyes.
The handsome young man is Bai Wei.
While playing chess, someone hurriedly came to report an urgent news.
“Seventh Uncle’s life tablet was shattered just now.”
“oh.”
Bai Wei’s eyes trembled slightly as he listened, but his expression showed no signs of abnormality.
He was still playing chess with the golden-eyed fox opposite him, and murmured: “To be able to block the seventh uncle with that relic, it seems that my aunt must have broken through the seventh level. Wow, that’s really surprising. It seems that she hit a big opportunity last time at Tailong Machinery City.”
Golden Eyed Fox: “Last time in the Plague Swamp, when you woke us up, Wei Boy, I noticed that there should be a more powerful immortal family. Now it seems that it may be that person’s contracted immortal family. With that person’s protection , it’s not surprising that it can break through the seventh level.”
Bai Wei smiled easily and said: “They are all the blood of the Bai family. Even if the ancestral spirit master is really still there, he will not interfere at will. Besides, without getting the [Secret Scroll of Immortal Magic] and [Ten Thousand Immortal Lamps], My aunt can’t warm up an ancestor spirit.”
The Bai family has been able to last for so long because the competition mechanism within the family has always existed.
The more powerful the Immortal family is, the more they hope to have a powerful host and the increasingly prosperous Bai family.
So there is little interference in this internal competition.
Thinking of this, Bai Wei raised his eyebrows and said, “But having said that, our Bai family has worked so hard to allow the Moon God to come smoothly. We should let that person help.”
