Cataclysm King - #51 - Chapter 51: Learn Tarun

  Chapter 51 Learning Tarun Ancient Prose Now

  Ji Xun carried the two of them along for a while, and stopped when they found a corner of the corridor where there were almost no monsters.

   Putting down the two of them, he patted his old friend again.

  Chu Jiu opened his eyes, looked at the surrounding environment, saw that there were no skeletons at all, and heaved a sigh of relief: escaped danger.

   Sure enough, this guy finally figured out a way.

  Ji Xun looked at the black blood on his back clothes, and casually reminded: “Your injury is serious.”

   It wasn’t his blood, but it was infected by carrying this old friend.

  Jujiu listened, but didn’t want to talk about the cause of the injury, and just said lightly: “Yes.”

   She had been running away just now and didn’t have time to deal with her injuries. Now that she had time to breathe, she turned her head to look at her back, then took out a potion and poured it on, sizzling with corrosive gas.

   It seemed to be in great pain, and her movements froze for a moment.

  Ji Xun looked at her gloomy mood, and he never guessed that the person who could give her such a slap in the back must be a very trustworthy person.

  The injury that can keep her in this silver-haired state is bound to be serious.

  But Ji Xun doesn’t have any penchant for spying on people’s privacy.

  People are willing to speak and listen.

   If you don’t say anything, it’s over.

  The two have a basic understanding, and there is no need to say more.

   At this time, the psychic named Nan Jing also woke up.

  She woke up like a nightmare.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, he bounced up deftly, scanning his surroundings very vigilantly.

   Seeing that his companion Chu Jiu was safe and sound, Nan Jing put down the cards in his hand.

  The linen cloak was lifted when he was carrying it on the road before, and Ji Xun realized that it was a black-haired girl with a ball head.

  The gas mask is blocking the face, but the voice is not very old, the eyes are bright, and the facial features are not bad.

  The most eye-catching thing is that her figure is very predictable.

  Even a loose adventurous tactical suit could not conceal the majestic size of her chest.

   This is a mature figure that is completely inconsistent with her cute ball head.

  Ji Xun just had a special impression, but he didn’t have any other thoughts.

  As if waking up from a dream, Nan Jing asked Chu Jiu next to him with a blank face, “Sister Chu Jiu, where are we…?”

  She remembered that she seemed to be attacked mentally just now, and then suddenly fell into a coma.

  Woke up and came here.

  Chu Jiu didn’t respond to this kind of question that she didn’t know, but just reminded: “Xiao Nan, this gentleman saved us.”

   “???”

  Hearing this, Nan Jing looked over suspiciously, as if thinking about the meaning of this sentence: saved us?

  Thinking, it seems that the fragmented thoughts are clear again.

correct.

   I was running just now!

   What about those endless skeletons?

  Nan Jing looked around and found that there was no monster around the corridor.

  The doubt in her eyes instantly turned into unconfident, is she really out of danger?

  Ji Xun looked at the psychic lady as if her nerves were a little sluggish, with a smile in her eyes.

  The psychic lady seemed to have not recovered her thoughts, her big eyes blinked and blinked, and the words “Am I still in a coma and dreaming” were written on her face.

  The ninth day of the ninth day is also accustomed to the slow reaction of his companion, and reminded him a little helplessly: “Xiao Nan, you should say ‘thank you'”

   Thinking about the first time I discovered this guy’s unbelievable ability to break the game in 407, why didn’t I also be in such a state of confusion from time to time.

   But before he finished speaking, the injuries in his body surged, and Chu Jiu’s expression changed instantly.

  Although I wanted to endure it, the spicy taste came up in my throat suddenly, and I spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Before receiving heavy injuries and fighting all the way, the injuries are already very serious.

   On the ninth day of the ninth day, the spell power was quickly activated to suppress it.

  Nan Jing on the side also looked panicked, and hurried over to help deal with the injury.

  Without the threat of the tide of monsters, the sense of crisis has also temporarily subsided.

  Nan Jingjing’s brain just finished processing the information just now. While preparing medical tools, he said gratefully to Ji Xun: “Thank you, Mr., for saving me and Chu Jiu just now. You can call me Nan Jing.”

  Now she also wants to understand, if the person in front of her was really malicious just now, there is no need to do anything, they are all in danger.

  Nature is not an enemy.

   As she spoke, she apologized again: “I’m sorry, it was because of that.”

  She wanted to say something, but she seemed to feel betrayed by her companions, and she couldn’t say that kind of family scandal.

   Momentarily speechless.

  Ji Xun didn’t take it seriously at all, he smiled politely, and introduced himself: “Ji Xun.”

  After this conversation, the three of them fell into a brief silence.

  Nan Jing didn’t have time to say more, and concentrated on treating the wound on Chu Jiu’s back. She used scissors to cut off the clothes on Chu Jiu’s back, revealing a fist-sized wound that was emitting black smoke.

   Only then did Ji Xun realize that his old friend’s injury was more serious than what he saw.

  Nan Jing’s treatment of the wound was obviously very professional. Instead of pouring medicine roughly, she took out surgical tools to debride the wound.

  She first carefully cut off the piece of carrion that was smoking thick black smoke from the wound.

   After cutting, the wound was carefully washed with water.

   Then he took out a green card. After activation, the green hexagram on the card lit up with a green light representing life, lingering around the wound.

  At this time, she began to stitch carefully.

  The whole healing process involves cutting and suturing, which is painful to watch.

  But Chu Jiu remained silent, his eyes dim.

  Ji Xun watched the whole treatment process.

  Chu Jiu’s injury was not only a trauma, but also a kind of fire-type dark energy erosion.

   It is very troublesome to deal with, medicine alone is not enough.

  The cut flesh was immediately burned to coke without the suppression of the ice spell, and the strange dark fire energy even corroded the scalpel black.

   This forced Nam Kyung to change several scalpels halfway through.

  Even Ji Xun was terrified when he saw it.

  If this weird injury were for an ordinary person, he would have died on the spot long ago.

   Obviously, the person who plotted against Chu Jiu was very aware of her ice magic power, and used restraint.

  Familiar with her abilities, she can also sneak attack. The one who did it was a trusted companion.

   Ji Xun thought of something.

   But he was not in a hurry to start a conversation.

  He closed his eyes and meditated, waiting for them to heal their wounds.

   Not long after, Nam Kyung stitched up the wound.

  The power of the ice demon on Chujiu’s body gradually faded away.

   The three of them didn’t communicate much.

  Ji Xun and Chu Jiu are used to the way of getting along peacefully without speaking for a long time.

   But Nan Jing always felt that the atmosphere was a bit too deserted, so she couldn’t help but wondered: “Mr. Ji Xun, how did you keep those skeletons from chasing us just now?”

  Ji Xunben didn’t want to explain too much, but thinking that he might encounter trouble later, he also said: “The hatred of the skeleton monster is triggered by the fluctuation of sanity value. Don’t be afraid, don’t be excited, just try to suppress the fluctuation as much as possible.”

   “Huh? That’s it?”

  Nan Jing has been to this maze before, how could he not know this.

  But how can a normal person have no mood swings at all?

  “.”

  Ji Xun didn’t want to explain too much, so naturally he didn’t mention the clown mask.

  He can trust Chu Jiu, but it doesn’t mean he can trust other people.

  The ninth day of the ninth day saw that Ji Xun didn’t want to say more, so he interrupted his companion’s curiosity at the right time, and asked, “Mr. Ji Xun, what are we going to do now?”

  Ji Xundao: “Wait.”

  Chu Jiu seems to have gotten used to this kind of escaping thinking. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately understood and nodded: “Yeah.”

  Nan Jing listened to Chu Jiu’s interjection, as if he forgot what he wanted to ask just now.

  As soon as the two of them talked about the next arrangement, they pricked up their ears.

  At first, I thought that this mysterious “Mr. Ji Xun” would have some detailed arrangements.

   But listen, listen, the conversation between the two just started, and then it ended?

  The psychic lady suddenly felt that her brain was not enough. She turned her head to look at Chu Jiu and then at Ji Xun. Her eyes widened like copper bells, and there were big question marks written all over her face.

That’s it?

   What are you waiting for?

Hey Hey hey.

   You should make it clear.

   These two guys seem to be playing charades, so let’s not talk about it?

  Nan Jing was still thinking about the question just now, and he didn’t realize that he had been staring at it for a long time.

  Ji Xun was a little dumbfounded by the eager and knowledge-seeking gaze cast by the psychic lady.

   This companion in the ninth day of the ninth day seems to be a bit silly and cute.

   But it’s not surprising to think about it.

  Because I have cooperated with Chujiu before, there is more or less a tacit understanding.

  It is normal for others not to keep up with that kind of brain circuit.

Just met Nan Jing’s deputy doctor, and it’s not completely a drag, so Ji Xun said one more thing: “Wait until the Cao family is dead before acting. Otherwise, they will scurry around in the maze and bring A lot of unanticipated risks.”

  Hearing this, Nan Jing suddenly looked dazed, and murmured to himself: “So that’s how it is.”

  The three fell into a brief silence again.

  At this time, thinking of something, Ji Xun also asked: “By the way, Miss Nanjing, why are you in the maze? Did you blow up the train outside?”

  He didn’t know if this problem had anything to do with this ambush, but he couldn’t figure it out, and he always felt that something was missing.

  Ji Xun knew this and asked Chu Jiu, but she would answer.

  But it may touch topics she doesn’t want to mention, such as who was backstabbed.

   And asking her companion, obviously can get more information.

  Ji Xun was really curious why they were involved in the murder against Governor Cao’s family.

  Hearing the question, Nan Jing glanced at Chu Jiu, and saw that he didn’t speak, which meant he could say anything by default.

She responded directly: “No. It was another group of looters who bombed the train. We just heard that there was a batch of medical supplies on this train. It happened that we needed those things, so we came here to take a look. I didn’t want to be involved gone.”

“oh.”

  Ji Xun suddenly understood after hearing this.

  It turns out that they are the fourth party force except the Golden Oak, the Governor’s Mansion, and the Marauders.

  Need a large amount of medical supplies, which means that there is a big force behind them.

   But it was such a coincidence that if you were involved, you would be plotted against by your companions?

   This made Ji Xun unavoidably suspect that the person who wanted to kill Chu Jiu was a member of the forces behind her, and was directly related to the black hand behind the plot to murder Governor Cao.

   Even if you are trapped in the maze, you still don’t feel at ease, and you have to arrange for the dead to do it.

  Ji Xunxin said: “In this way, the identity of Chu Jiu is even more special.”

  Thoughts were spinning in his mind, and the outline of the whole conspiracy had gradually become clear.

   Now think about it.

   All kinds of rumors in the city before, such as the treasure in the hands of the Cao family, the assassination reward, etc., seem to be spread deliberately by someone.

  It was all to force Governor Cao Sihai to feel that his life was in danger in Innocence City.

   Then came the plan to sneak out of town on a converted freight train.

   And it happened that the looters got the news that there were supplies on the train and blew up the tracks.

  Even the fourth party, Chujiu, knew that there were medical supplies in the car, so they took a look at the situation and disposed of them together.

   Kill many birds with one stone.

   Borrowing a knife to kill people has played to the extreme.

   There is no need for the behind-the-scenes person to show up in person during the whole process, or even a single soldier.

  Just relying on a few wrong news to get several forces involved, this method can be said to be brilliant.

  Ji Xun also became interested.

  Just the aftermath of the incident will inevitably cause many deaths in the city of innocence.

  And he always felt that the assassination of Governor Cao Sihai seemed to be the beginning of this storm.

   But this has nothing to do with Ji Xun.

  He likes to be lively.

  But I prefer to hide in the dark and watch other people’s excitement.

   It is not easy to have a master like Chu Jiu, and the background of the “fourth party force” is not easy.

  Ji Xun didn’t try to pry into Chu Jiu’s identity.

   It’s not necessary to be rude.

  As long as it’s not an enemy, it doesn’t matter what it is.

  At this time, Chu Jiu was also afraid that his stupid and cute companion said something that shouldn’t be said, so he asked, “Mr. Ji Xun, did you just say that you met the [Keeper of Secrets] before?”

  Ji Xun nodded: “Yes.”

   After saying this, both Chu Jiu and Nan Jing cast curious eyes, “What kind of disaster is that? Can it be resolved?”

   Mentioning the monster, Ji Xun thought of the previous glimpse, and the feeling in his heart that made his soul tremble was still clear.

   “Tricky.”

  He frowned slightly, and said: “S-level disasters are immortal, and there are still a lot of them. Don’t consider head-on encounters unless necessary.”

  “.”

  Hearing this, Chu Jiu’s expression immediately became serious.

   She is well aware of the “tricky” weight.

  At the beginning in the 407 space, Ji Xun didn’t even say a tricky adjective for those horrible A-level disasters.

   But now, he said it.

   In other words, this disaster is absolutely invincible.

  The ninth day of the ninth day looked over again: “So?”

  Ji Xun understood what she asked, and replied, “Solve the puzzle.”

“Um.”

  Chu Jiu turned her crystal eyes and understood what he said.

  The conversation between the two ended in a few words.

  Nan Jing, who listened with pricked ears, froze again: Gone again?

  Obviously, the brain circuit of this psychic lady is not as fast as that of Chujiu, and she doesn’t have that kind of tacit understanding.

  Just heard 【Keeper of Secrets】, she felt that she grasped the key point.

Um!

  I must listen to the information carefully this time.

   Analysis Analysis.

   Think again about how to solve the maze according to the clues.

  But I never thought about it, didn’t hear a few words, and it’s gone again!

  Nanjing’s gas mask has a very rich expression at the moment.

  She glanced at Chu Jiu, then at the guy with the same zombie expression as her, and muttered in her heart: Can’t you say a few more words?

The key is.

  I didn’t understand!

  Nan Jing felt that if he asked, he would look stupid.

  She could only quietly ask something else: “Sister Chu Jiu, how did you know each other?”

  She and Chu Jiu are the closest partners, but she has never met Ji Xun, nor heard her talk about it, which is very strange.

   It seemed to come out of nowhere.

“this”

   On the ninth day of the ninth day, I wanted to explain.

   But when the words came to his lips, he stopped again.

   The matter of 407 is very sensitive, even if it is the best friend.

   After all, this matter is not only about her own life, but also the life and death of others.

   And Ji Xun is not interested in talking about this topic, and has no intention of answering it.

  But the moment the two of them didn’t speak, the atmosphere became very delicate.

   On the ninth day of the ninth day, looking at Nan Jing’s increasingly strange eyes, he finally couldn’t help but say: “Mr. Ji Xun is a trustworthy friend. He saved my life.”

“oh?”

  Nan Jing listened, and it really stopped a lot.

   But I couldn’t help being curious.

  If I read correctly, the person in front of me is probably an apprentice spell card master?

  What ability does he have to save Chu Jiu?

  Ji Xun didn’t want to start a conversation at first, but after hearing Chu Jiu’s words, he shook his head slightly: “Miss Chu Jiu is too polite.”

  He chose to save people just now, not only because of the role of “Humanoid Radar” in Chujiu.

   More importantly, return her favor within the scope of ability.

  Ji Xun can shoot and blow other people’s heads without any fluctuations in his heart, so he can’t be called a good person.

   But not ungrateful.

   Human affection, once it is contaminated, it doesn’t mean that it will be settled after paying it back.

  It’s like borrowing money, even if the money is paid back, the favor is still there.

   Not to mention that in the 407 space, Xun would not be able to live without Chujiuji.

  Even after he came out, without the support from the ninth day of the ninth day, he would not have survived until now.

   This life-saving kindness is not small.

   But after speaking, Ji Xun didn’t say any more.

  He didn’t want to be hypocritical about this kind of thing, and turned to the real thing: “By the way, Miss Chu Jiu, do you still have the information found in the safe?”

“exist.”

   Chujiu knew very well that the other party must need this thing when asked.

  After speaking, she directly took out a stack of materials.

  Ji Xun was not too polite. He took the information, lit the lamp, and sat down to read it.

   While he is free now, he will also see if he can translate some.

   After all, judging from the information obtained from the previous adventurer’s diary, it seems that if you want to leave this maze, you must decipher a secret room with Tarun ancient text.

  It is also beneficial to get familiar with it earlier.

   Seeing him flipping through those classics like this, Chu Jiu didn’t ask him what he was going to do.

  When 407 collaborated before, Ji Xun made some preparations more than once that were incomprehensible at first.

   But the result is that every time is a key means to break the game.

  But although she didn’t ask much, she was really curious, what’s the use of these materials?

  Also, this is the ancient language of Tarun, not many of the polymaths in Dragon City are proficient, can he understand it?

   Nan Jing, who is straightforward, didn’t think about it that much. She glanced at the densely packed ancient text on the file, and asked directly: “Mr. Ji Xun, are you a carder of the ‘Sequence of Wisdom’?”

“no.”

  Ji Xun didn’t look up, and responded casually.

  He continued to flip through the materials, recalling as much as possible in his mind the content he had translated in the 407 space.

  Hearing this, Nan Jing was surprised: “Ah, can you understand these ancient Chinese?”

  Ji Xun shook his head decisively: “I don’t understand.”

   “???”

  Hearing this, Nan Jing was obviously stunned for three seconds.

  Even the ninth day of junior high school cast very surprised eyes.

  Although she has no doubts about Ji Xun’s ability to decipher, but… she can’t understand the data at all, and she still holds the data to read, what does it mean?

  Nan Jing couldn’t help being curious, and asked directly: “Then what are you?”

  Ji Xun didn’t hide anything, and said calmly, “Learn now.”

  Nanjing: “.”

  Ninth day: “.”

  Hearing this, the corners of the two girls’ eyes twitched inexplicably.

  Before he thought he knew the ancient language of Tarun.

  Know at least a little bit.

   But it’s a temporary study, no matter how you look at it, you don’t think it’s reliable, okay?

   Chujiu was surprised for a moment, and understood something.

   It should be to recall the content of the enlightenment reminder at the beginning, and combine it to translate ancient Chinese?

  This seems impossible, right?

  But Chu Jiu had an inexplicable feeling that this guy might be able to do it if it was impossible for others.

  She waved away those scattered thoughts, since she didn’t have the idea to break the situation, this kind of thing was left to those who are capable.

  On the ninth day of the ninth day, I closed my eyes and fell into meditation.

  The psychic lady looked deeply suspicious.

  But Ji Xun didn’t pay any attention to her meaning, and carefully studied the information on his own, with the ability of photographic memory, he quickly immersed himself in it.

  The two girls in the ninth day of junior high school didn’t bother me anymore.

  In a flash, the three of them stayed in the maze for three full days.

   Thank you for your support from ‘Generalissimo Sima’ 2000, ‘GT Yuhun’ 500, ‘Dr.wy’ 400, and ‘2019021583557457’, thank you.
