Cataclysm King - #53 - Chapter 53: mystery box

  Chapter 53 The Mysterious Box

  Ji Xun said, and took out a piece of paper.

  He drew a two-dimensional plane of a maze on it, and then marked a line diagram.

  In the past three days, he has walked many laps in the maze. In addition to writing down the route, he has also recorded the activity areas of all the [Keepers] he encountered and marked them out.

While drawing, Ji Xun said: “There is a [Secret Keeper] confirmed on this road. Once we pass by, it will definitely attract hatred. It will catch up. So we must run through the corridor with the most decisive attitude, absolutely not If you delay, you can’t turn back.”

   This is also the biggest danger in the route he planned.

  Chu Jiu was used to Ji Xun’s meticulous thinking, so he nodded without any objection: “Yes.”

  But Nan Jing on the side was already shocked by what he heard.

  If you just said that you heard the “Rubik’s Cube” just now, you still exclaim in surprise.

   Now, I have a solid foundation in solving puzzles.

  She watched as Ji Xun casually drew on the paper, which turned out to be a precise maze circuit diagram, which is no longer something ordinary people can do.

  Before I wondered why he didn’t mark it, but it turned out that he had completely remembered it?

   Listening to the plan, Nan Jing’s eyes widened the whole time. This guy didn’t say anything, and he took everything into consideration when he said it.

   Looking at Ji Xun from the corner of his eye again, his admiration is already indescribable.

   This guy seems to have done nothing for three days, but in fact, he has already considered everything perfectly.

   Waiting for him to finish speaking, Nan Jing couldn’t help but marvel: “Mr. Ji Xun, have you memorized the maze completely?”

  Ji Xun glanced at her, then humbly said, “Almost.”

  Nan Jing thought of something, and said again: “But… if, I mean, in case you remember wrongly, will it be?”

  Ji Xun smiled meaningfully again.

   Remember wrong?

  Of course not.

  Only from the level of decryption, the current difficulty is not particularly difficult for him.

   Even if you don’t have a photographic memory, memorizing the lines is also the basis of this type of decryption game.

  When I heard Nan Jing’s unbelievable tone on the ninth day of the first day, I felt inexplicably familiar, as if I saw myself back then.

  Because she was in 407, she also asked many similar questions.

  But the results all proved that I was worrying too much.

  That guy has considered everything from the very beginning.

  She already knew what Ji Xun would say, and said directly: “There is no if. There is only one chance.”

  Ji Xun nodded with a smile, and agreed: “Yes.”

   There is indeed no if.

  If you dare not take this risk, it is impossible to leave this maze.

  Nan Jing didn’t say much after listening.

Ji Xun gave a final warning: “If we get separated due to some unexpected reasons, then if we leave like this, we should meet again. In case we meet the secret keeper after passing, we will act according to the plan. Qian Remember, don’t look at the monster, or you will be polluted.”

   On the ninth day of the ninth day, Nan Jing nodded slightly: “Yeah.”

  The three of them briefly discussed a few words, and then looked at the tunnel ahead.

   After adjusting his breath, Ji Xun yelled, “Run!”

   As soon as the voice fell, the three figures quickly disappeared on the spot.

  Ji Xun’s physical fitness is already very strong, and his sprint speed is already faster than the sprinters in his previous life.

   Chu Jiu was even more powerful. She ran with one hand and the weaker Nan Jing all the way, and the speed also did not drop.

  As Ji Xun expected, they rushed to an intersection, and a terrifying coercion surged out from a corner like a tide.

  Chu Jiu sensed something, and let out a soft drink: “It’s coming!”

  Ji Xun has seen [Keeper of Secrets] before, and this feeling of being pulled away from the soul is very familiar.

   is the monster.

  If you were a normal person, you would instinctively take a look if you sensed an abnormality. Nan Jingyuan also instinctively wanted to turn back, but when she thought of Ji Xun’s reminder before, she shrank her neck again and ran faster.

  The three of them didn’t care about other things at all, and rushed all the way in the passage.

   Behind him, the tide of terror surged after him.

  The hooves of the ghost warhorse “Kudden” and “Kudden” sounded like a countdown to death, getting faster and faster.

Getting closer.

  The cold and biting horror, as if an evil spirit was blowing cold air on his neck, became clearer and clearer.

  Ji Xun has already put on the clown mask, his eyes are piercing.

  The ninth day of the ninth day also has silver hair and a firm expression.

  Among the three, only Nan Jing was so frightened by the pollution from the soul that his face turned pale.

   Seeing that the three of them were about to be overtaken, they still didn’t stop, and rushed forward!

  Run and run.

  Suddenly, the surrounding scene suddenly became brighter.

  It seems to have jumped from one side of the Rubik’s Cube to another, and from them into a completely unfamiliar new passage.

   Behind him, the monster’s aura also disappeared abruptly.

   “Successful!”

  Ji Xun looked at the surrounding passages that were completely unmarked, and immediately realized that they had come to a brand new passage.

   A few seconds ahead of the calculated time.

  At the same time, Enlightenment also appeared: “Enter the hidden space, increase the exploration speed by +20%, and get extra rewards for settlement”

  Chu Jiu also sensed something, and reminded: “The breath of the monster is gone.”

  The three stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

  Looking back, the corridor at the end of the maze behind him was moving faintly, like gears in a precision machine, biting and rotating.

  Magic scene!

   Seeing this scene, the three of them stared blankly.

  It turns out that this is the correct way to clear the [Great Cemetery Maze].

  From this moment on, it means that they really found the hope of leaving the maze.

   But before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Ji Xun caught the broken bones in the passage, and said lightly, “Has anyone been here?”

  Nan Jing himself is a psychic and is very familiar with undead creatures. She picked up the bone on the ground, checked it, and confirmed: “The fracture mark on the skeleton is not long ago, it looks like it was two or three days ago. The frost spell remains. It should be the Frost Knight of the Governor’s Mansion.”

  Hearing this, Chu Jiu also showed doubts.

   Didn’t expect anyone else to come here besides them.

   Ji Xun frowned slightly, thinking that it is normal for the Governor’s Mansion to have a master of puzzle solving.

   But think about it carefully, two or three days ago?

   Being chased by so many monsters, it’s fine if you don’t die, and you still have the mind to solve the puzzle? How did it work?

   Ji Xun thought about it but didn’t understand it, and didn’t think too much about it.

   On the downside, there are an unknown number of enemies, so beware of encountering them.

   But thinking about the good, someone has been here, the monsters here have been cleaned up, and the safety factor will be much higher.

  The current situation is not necessarily worse than expected.

  Of course, Ji Xun felt that the person who entered three days ago might not be alive now.

  Although this new area is different from the previous maze, judging from the contents recorded in the adventurer’s notebook, the danger is not less than outside.

   Moreover, the professional adventurer named “Yuri” did not leave alive, so it is not so easy to find the exit.

  It is meaningless to think too much, the three of them are also looking for an exit now.

  Ji Xun’s gaze also moved away from the skull, and looked at the surrounding stone walls.

  Different from the bare rock walls of the previous labyrinth, patterns drawn by various lines can be seen everywhere in the corridors here. There are tall humans, monsters with human bodies and beast heads, various symbols

  The skill of the sculptor is very superb. Although it is only a few simple lines, it outlines a series of stone murals that make people feel as if they are in the scene.

   The above content Ji Xun read all the way, it seems to be a record of the life of a king, conquering all directions, blessing the people, killing terrifying monsters, and mysterious sacrifices

  Some of the contents seem to be historical facts, and some seem to be unbelievable myths.

  Ji Xun walked and watched all the way, and even wrote down some symbols with his notes.

   However, looking at it, he suddenly saw a symbol that clearly represented a mysterious meaning: .

   Not only this moon, Ji Xun saw many mysterious symbols appearing on the wall in the cellar of Tailor Street before!

   “That is to say, the evil ceremony in Tailor Street is really directly related to the Gutalon Kingdom?”

  Ji Xun looked more and more interested.

  The mysterious ceremony on the wall seems to point to a more distant ancient secret.

   But why did the ceremony appear on the murals in the underground palace of the mausoleum?

   There are no history books in Innocence City, and Ji Xun doesn’t know much about the history of this world.

  But after reading it for a long time, I have no clue.

  Chu Jiu and Nan Jing watched him focus on the mural and didn’t bother him.

  The three of them just walked and watched.

  But suddenly, a strange sound came from the tunnel.

  The expressions of the three of them changed at the same time.

  Battle sounds?

   Someone is alive!

   Ji Xun’s eyes also turned rapidly.

   Hearing the sound was far away, but hearing the layered sense of An’s voice echoing, it would not take long to catch up.

  Ji Xun shouted anxiously: “Let’s go!”

  The three of them rushed forward in a hurry.

   Didn’t wait long, Chu Jiu also sensed something, and said anxiously: “It’s [Keeper of Secrets]!”

  Ji Xun asked while running, “How many?”

  The tone of the ninth day also changed slightly: “Three heads.”

  But just after she finished speaking, she didn’t run a few steps, and her face changed suddenly: “No, there are also in front of us!”

   There are monsters blocking the road ahead, and monsters chasing after them, it seems inevitable to hit.

  The situation is suddenly very critical.

  Ji Xun is also very strange, since there is a [Secret Keeper], it’s already the sixth day, can anyone still survive the disaster?

  But the current situation is already clear, and if you continue to run, something will happen.

  Ji Xun made a decisive choice, and said in a very loud voice: “It was originally planned!”

  The ninth day of the ninth day did not hesitate at all. The moment he heard this, he stretched out his hand and stabbed with mental strength, and Nan Jing beside him fainted again.

   And she herself immediately closed her eyes, closed her hearing, and finally said: “Please.”

  They discussed the plan in case they encounter the [Keeper of Secrets] before.

   Only by closing the perception, can the attraction of hatred and curse pollution be reduced as much as possible.

  Ji Xun didn’t dare to delay, and hugged the two of them by the waist, and the three of them fell together in a dark corner of the corridor.

  The clown mask was put on instantly, and then he started playing dead again.

   But this time it’s not one person, but three.

   It was because the three of them acted decisively, but after a few breaths, the sound of battle appeared behind them.

   “Keng Keng” The sound of interlacing swords resounded throughout the corridor.

  Ji Xun heard the movement, and felt even more strange: “Is there really a living person?”

  Although it sounds like there is only one, it is still incredible.

  How did this guy survive?

   He didn’t need to guess too much, he saw the person in a blink of an eye.

   It was a Frost Knight covered in frost armor, probably activated some secret technique, and the speed was very fast. The cold and white flames of mantra overflowed a foot, resisting the erosion of the black smoke behind him.

   Behind him, three [Keepers of Secrets] riding on skeleton warhorses chased after him.

   But judging from this guy’s actions, he is already exhausted, exhausted, and seriously injured.

  But what Ji Xun was surprised by was nothing else, but that this guy was chasing after him with the three-headed calamity head-on hard steel?

what happened?

  He clearly remembered that [Keeper of Secrets]’s attack method was a curse of the mysterious department, and those who were attacked would be sucked dry of soul and flesh.

   But right now, this Frost Knight is actually fighting melee?

  How did this guy resist that horrible curse contamination?

  In the darkness, Ji Xun’s eyes were full of curiosity, and his intuition told him that this guy had found some special means to restrain monsters.

  He didn’t dare to look at the Secret Keeper, he looked up and down the Frost Knight, and immediately found something unusual.

  The knight is holding a giant sword in his left hand, and a black suitcase in his right hand.

   Even at such a critical juncture, this guy didn’t even drop the box.

  What’s in the box?

  Why not put it in the storage ring, but carry it by hand instead?

   A series of question marks popped up in Ji Xun’s mind, but he also understood one thing: the box contains something that can restrain the monster’s curse!

   Thanks to ‘Happy Bad Guy’ 1000, ‘Xinghai Duotong’, ‘Student Party Sorry’ for their support, thank you.
