Cataclysm King - #95 - Chapter 95: war mode

  Chapter 95 War Mode

   “Hey, I didn’t expect that there would be a different-dimensional space of ‘war mode’ in Thunder Fortress.”

“Tsk tsk, if you really want to come out alive, it’s really the rhythm of getting rich overnight. Several big chambers of commerce have offered a high price for the special card produced by the different-dimensional space. The reward for the [Space Teleportation Card] has already exceeded 20 The [Holy Water of Life] is even more priceless.”

“What’s the money? As far as I know, the Lionheart family has offered a price. In addition to the bounty, it also includes letters of appointment for the lords of some small cities. If you really want to issue a special card, you don’t have to worry about it for a few lifetimes. “

   “The death rate in that space currently exceeds 90%. If you want to go, you dare not go.”

  “.”

  The hunters in the camp are talking about related topics everywhere.

   But the information obtained is fragmented.

  The camp is not too big, and within a few steps, Ji Xun walked to the branch of the Hunter Guild in the camp.

   With one glance, he figured out what was going on.

  「‘The Third Holy Grail War·Outpost War’ recruits pioneer hunters, the minimum requirement: late-stage carders. The reward for recruiting golden ranks is 5-30W」

  Standing in front of the handwritten recruitment announcement, Ji Xun saw the recruitment message on the top at a glance, and suddenly thought: “It turns out to be a different-dimensional space in war mode, no wonder.”

  When he was recruiting career materials at the Hunters Guild of Innocence City, he had seen “Pioneer Hunters” being recruited in an unknown space in the northeast of Thunder Fortress. It is said that no one came out alive after trying many times, and the price of recruiting cannon fodder is ridiculously high.

   Unexpectedly, after finding out, it turned out to be a “war mode” that is rarely seen in legends.

  The outrageous death rate that the hunters are talking about can be understood in an instant.

  War mode is the kind of super-large different-dimensional space, usually a large-scale war between camps, and the main focus is a killing.

  The number of people entering is also hundreds or thousands.

  The average death rate in the different-dimensional spaces of various war modes known so far exceeds 70%.

  Before it is found out, it is normal for the death rate to exceed 90%.

  Especially those 10,000-thousand-scale legion battles are completely meat grinders.

  Even high-level spell card masters are cannon fodder in that kind of plot.

  No one dares to live on their own.

   This is a spatial pattern that hunters love and fear.

   After all, the different-dimensional space has a hidden characteristic: the higher the death rate, the richer the reward.

   Correspondingly, the rewards of the war mode are also very rich.

  In other different-dimensional spaces, almost only space-related materials and treasures are produced.

  But in the war mode, exercises, breathing methods, ancient relics, special items, high-end materials…almost all high-end goods that can be seen on the market have a probability to appear.

   There are additional special card pools for customs clearance rewards.

  In terms of output, this is definitely the alien space that hunters dream of.

  And once the different-dimensional space of the war mode appears, it means that there will be more related plot space later.

  This is a great opportunity and a meat grinder.

   “Heh, luck seems to be good. I have encountered this kind of treasure space.”

  Ji Xun looked at the recruitment announcement, rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of many things in his mind.

  Although the death rate in the war mode is high, this kind of treasure space is hard to come by.

  Compared to the gasps of others, he became more excited, and some thoughts in his mind were ready to move.

  He has just advanced to the official spell card master, and this [Third Holy Grail War] happens to restrict the entry of second-level and above card masters.

   It’s still the same idea, the essence of the different-dimensional space is to encourage the magic card master to take risks, not to die.

  Ji Xun had an almost paranoid conceit in his heart.

  The other first order can live, there is no reason why I can’t live.

   It’s just before the advancement, he can’t avoid this kind of space.

  But now it has successfully merged with [Spades 4-Wolf Walker], and its strength has exploded.

   Not to mention the specific combat effectiveness, the life-saving ability is at least a hundred times higher than that of the previous apprentices.

  This kind of restricted space, he felt that if he could not survive, others would not be able to survive.

   “Try?”

  Standing in front of the recruitment announcement for a while, Ji Xun suddenly said something to himself, and he didn’t know who he was asking.

   But when the thought came together, there was an immediate response in his mind: “Try!”

  I wanted to find a space to test my current strength, and by the way, the feast also needed some corpses to devour.

   Can encounter a challenging space,

   He felt better.

  Ji Xun didn’t listen to the gossip from those hunters, but spent a sum of money to buy the information directly from the intelligence merchant.

   But not many.

   probably means,

  Pioneer hunters went to more than a dozen waves before someone survived to bring out the news. This is the war mode.

  Three days ago, another wave went in. Of a group of 500 people, less than 20 survived.

  The plot difficulty is very high.

  But the surviving twenty or so people produced one piece of relic-level armor, five skill cards and related cheats, six pieces of silver materials, and some other black iron equipment materials.

  They just cleared a C-level difficulty.

   As soon as the news of these productions broke out, it directly detonated in the hunter circle.

  Innocent City has been flooded with many people who join in the fun these days.

  Although the death rate is high, there are also some guys who want to try their luck to get rich and dare to sign up.

   “Monsters are creatures of hell, almost endless in number. The terrain is very complex, with mountains, caves and jungles, and it is also suitable for werewolves”

  Ji Xun carefully analyzed the information he bought.

   I also think it is very ideal.

  Like the [Greedy Mine] before, there are only a few hundred werewolf monsters in total, and it is difficult for him to enjoy this kind of space now.

   The most indispensable thing in the war mode is all kinds of monsters.

   Enter five hundred people and tens of thousands of monsters.

   “It is said in the intelligence that the strongest monster known in the space is a second-order D-class disaster.”

  Ji Xun reckoned, not to mention the high clearance evaluation of his current situation, at least the probability of saving his life is extremely high.

  He didn’t sign up immediately, but planned to go to the camp again to inquire about other news.

  Walking and walking, he came to Hunter Square City.

  There are dozens of stalls here, crowded with people.

   The good things brought out by the hunters from the ruins were almost immediately taken away by people from major chambers of commerce at high prices.

  It is also difficult to find any real boutiques in Fangshi.

  Ji Xun wanted to find some ancient documents, ancient text rubbings or something.

  I also bought some at the stall.

  Walking along, I found another half-length breastplate of black iron quality at a booth.

  【Thick dragon pattern breastplate】

  Quality: Black Iron

  Detailed explanation: 300 kilograms of heavy breastplate, ancient armor blessed by priests; defense +8, luck +1; when attacked, there is a very low probability of being protected by fate to block some fatal damage.

   Ji Xun is slightly interested.

   Went to the booth and inquired about the price.

   “How do you sell this armor?”

   “One hundred thousand.”

   “Sell it for three thousand?”

   “Brother, this is not the way to pay back the price. Didn’t you see that this is equipment with special entries?”

   “Add one thousand. If I don’t sell it, I will leave.”

“Sell!”

  Ji Xun didn’t want to waste time at all.

  He is very clear that ordinary hunters do not have a storage ring, and such a bulky and large object is not convenient to take away, and the selling price is definitely not high.

  The stall owner also saw that customers were not willing to buy.

  The two exchanged three sentences each, and reached a deal at a price that was almost selling scrap iron.

  This armor has a special entry, and it is a very rare “lucky”.

  Normally the value would be very high indeed.

  But in reality, it is very tasteless.

  Because the basic attributes of this plate armor are too low, there are no mysterious entries except physical defense.

  Anyone who buys a set of alloy mechanical exoskeletons on the market can reach this level of defense.

  The function is much more than this breastplate.

  Even if there is a special entry “lucky +1”, it can’t save the garbage attribute of this breastplate, which is a whiteboard equipment.

   The value of this thing is not even worth wasting a containment card to contain it.

   Can only be sold on the ground stalls.

  Ji Xun looked at it only because it was heavy.

  I lost all the weight equipment when I was in the mine before, and this breastplate looks just right.

   And he also needs a piece of equipment that reveals his professional identity. Everyone knows that he is a melee professional when he wears this plate armor.

  The design of the breastplate is very ingenious. There are belts that can be tightened. When worn on the body, it just covers the front chest and back.

   The defense is good, and it does not affect the movement of hands and feet.

  Ji Xun also liked it.

  Wearing these hundreds of kilograms of armor, I suddenly no longer feel light under my feet.

   Later, I went around the market and bought a round shield and a long-handled hammer.

  A patchwork of crappy equipment, all the work is done.

   It looks like a poor melee card master.

   This is also the most normal attire for most low-level solo hunters in Innocence City.

  There were several times more people in Thunder Fortress than before, and the Hunter Tavern became lively.

  There was nothing to hang out in the camp, so Ji Xun came directly to the tavern.

  No matter what time it is, you can always hear some surprising news in the tavern.

  As soon as they walked in, they saw the reward order hanging on the bar counter of the tavern by the Black Wolf Group. They were still looking for the four people who stole their team’s treasure.

  Ji Xun didn’t care at all.

   Walked in, found an open seat, and had a drink.

  Even during the day, the tavern was full of people, and the hunters gathered in groups to chat and fart.

  He was also talking about some recent events in the fortress.

   After advanced, the perception will be greatly improved! Enhanced, not to mention the barbaric growth brought about by the return of the werewolf blood to the ancestors. Even without transformation, Ji Xun felt that his hearing became clearer.

  He chose to listen to some that he was interested in.

   “What about the reward?”

   “I heard that the Black Wolf Group was tricked”

   “Those guys from the Black Wolf Group are on the lap.”

“It’s not on the list. The head of the Black Wolf Group was originally a guard captain of the Lionheart family. He was exiled because of a mistake. Now he’s just reinstated. Tsk tsk, I’m so envious. The dog of the noble family The food is better than ours. Those members of the Black Wolf Regiment have transformed themselves into private soldiers of nobles.”

  “.”

  Ji Xun also listened with great interest.

   It turns out that the Black Wolf Group still has this background.

  But I didn’t take it to heart.

   “Hey, what happened to the heavily guarded house in the camp? Which big man came to the camp?”

   “You don’t even know the ‘Sun Lion Shield’?”

   “I don’t know. From Dragon City?”

   “Yes. This is the family emblem of the famous Anka family! You must have heard of the legendary strongman “Silver-eyed Lion” Kamon who became famous in World War I twenty years ago, right? He is currently the old patriarch of the Anka family. It is said that the one who came this time was a young master from the Anka family. “

   “Hiss legendary strong family? No wonder the guards are so imposing.”

   “Hehe, that kind of big family has 800 or 1000 heirs, so you don’t have to make a fuss about a young master.”

   “No! This time is different. I heard that he is the Ninth Young Master of the Anka family, the true heir of the lion heart.”

   “What the **** are you doing here?”

   “Hey, I’ve never seen a noble of that level. I heard that those noble young masters have demon marks, martial skills, and professional cards. They are all top-notch. They are filled with various professional cards since childhood. They are all ridiculously strong.”

“I don’t know if it’s strong or not, but it’s not a good thing anyway. I just came to the fortress yesterday, and I fell in love with the daughter of the old head of the Bucks Chen’s family in the camp. I sent a little money and kidnapped her in the street. .Old Chen came to look for him, and now there is no news of the six people in his small group. Heh, where do you think they went?”

   “These nobles are so **** virtuous. Is there no one in the camp?”

   “Didn’t you see that those guys from the Hunter Guild dare to fart? Now the Lionheart Family has incorporated several large hunter groups and mercenary groups, and no one in the other hunter groups in the camp dares to recruit this thing.”

   “Now the City of Innocence has changed”

  “.”

  After listening to this conversation, Ji Xun finally realized what happened to the heavily guarded building that he passed by before.

   It turned out that the young and the noble came.

   “Silver-eyed Lion” Kamon, a legendary spell card master of the Federation.

  He remembered hearing the name for the first time in the free class of the Hunter Guild.

   Unexpectedly, I ran into the heir of a legendary family.

   But it sounds like that Ninth Young Master Kahn is not a good person.

  Hearing the hunters gnashing their teeth about the bad deeds of the nobleman, he didn’t feel any fluctuations in his heart.

  Human nature is despicable, and it does not matter whether the common people or the rich.

  Ji Xun was even more curious about other things.

  What are the heirs of the great nobles doing here?

   While Ji Xun was drinking in the Hunter Tavern.

  In the heavily guarded small building in the camp.

   Several servants wrapped the naked corpses of two young girls in shrouds and carried them out of the room on the top floor.

  One would believe that there is such a luxurious residence in the hunter’s camp without seeing it with their own eyes.

   Watching the corpse being carried out, the old servant in the tuxedo who had been waiting outside the door for a long time walked into the room.

   “Young master, this is the [Skill · Dodge Technique] just sent by the chamber of commerce. This is a very rare agility skill, and only the old continent has a chance of producing it.”

  The old servant lowered his eyebrows.

   As he spoke, he held a silver card in both hands and handed it to the blond boy in a bathrobe in front of him.

  He knew that these words had to be said whether they were heard or not.

  He glanced at the blood stains in the room from the corner of his eye, and said again: “Forgive me for talking too much, Madam told me to remind the young master from time to time that you need to meditate more, otherwise the spell power will not be enough to support too many martial arts.”

  The boy has handsome features, fair skin, and blond hair like a golden lion.

  But the eyebrows always give people a tyrannical and sinister feeling.

  The young man was none other than the Ninth Young Master of the Anka Family that the hunters in the tavern were talking about—Kan!

  Hearing what the old housekeeper said, his eyes turned cold: “Old man, you don’t need to remind me every time.”

  Old Butler: “Yes, Master.”

  Kan picked up the skill card and poured it with mana. He seemed to be resentful about being dispatched here, and he said angrily, “I just played with a few women. Why did the old man exile me to this ghost place?”

Looking at the blood in the room, he seemed to recall something, and then he became a little interested: “But then again, these lowly huntresses have a different taste. Those two kept bleeding and resisted last night, tsk tsk. Longcheng The woman in the house is not so energetic.”

The housekeeper seemed to have not heard the second part of the sentence at all, and said: “Master, the master has no other choice. Among the ladies before, one is the only daughter of a general in the army. There was a big commotion in the parliament, and the master was furious. The master only I can arrange you here to temporarily avoid the limelight. What’s more, the situation in the Federation is about to change drastically. Now is the best opportunity for the family to establish a layout in the Old Continent. Madam specially explained to the old slave to assist you in the city of innocence Only by laying a deep enough foundation will we be able to gain more say in the inheritance rights in the future.”

“enough.”

   Kahn listened impatiently.

  But when he heard about the right of inheritance, he also endured it.

  He turned his face and said again: “Also, I must go to the different-dimensional space?”

The housekeeper nodded, and said: “Master has passed on a message. If the young master does not complete the trial, he may not be able to return to Dragon City in a short time. This is also the trial plan that Madam personally set for you. Besides, there is no space like this.” The conditions for the trial are more suitable. This super-large war mode can allow legions to enter. This time, the old slave has arranged for an elite entourage of the Beast Legion. Don’t worry, young master, everything is arranged, and your safety will be guaranteed. Guaranteed. Wait until recruitment is complete”

   “Stop, stop, stop! You can make arrangements for the trial.”

  Kan was completely interested in the different-dimensional space, so he interrupted the follow-up.

  The Lionheart family is no ordinary nobleman.

  They are the general family with legendary spell card masters!

  For hundreds of years, the top powerhouses of the family have emerged one after another, various uncles and veterans also hold important powers at the top of the military, and the network of relationships is intricate.

   Once the old empire collapsed, their Anka family is still standing, and the background is evident.

   With a good family background, Kahn has everything he needs from childhood to adulthood at his fingertips.

  What occupation sequence, what relic, what demon mark.

  The things that these low-level people have earned their heads are piled up in the treasure house of the Anka family.

  As long as he wants, there are rare ones.

   As for adventure?

   This is even less interesting to Kahn.

  I have everything I want, what about the adventure map?

  He waved his hand: “Go out, I’m going to rest. Remember to get me some fresh goods of better quality tonight.”

“yes.”

  The butler nodded, said nothing, and exited the door.

  Ji Xun stayed in the tavern for a few hours, and found out about the news.

  The more I listened, the more I couldn’t bear the restlessness that was about to come out.

   There was nothing to hesitate, and he directly signed up for the [Third Holy Grail War] mission to open up wasteland in a different-dimensional space.

  The space is limited to 500 people at a time, but only 200 are recruited.

  Ji Xun also guessed, maybe a large team will go in.

  He also knows the reason why those guys released these two hundred places.

  Experienced hunters have figured out some spatial laws, and know that there is a “guarantee” for the death rate in different-dimensional spaces.

  No one can guarantee that they will come out alive after entering.

  But if some low-level hunters are added to the team, they have poor equipment and poor combat power, and the probability of death in battle is even greater.

  If the guaranteed death rate is filled.

  Theoretically speaking, the battle damage of the elite will be smaller.

   This is also the meaning of many high-difficulty spaces that pay to recruit wasteland reclamation groups.

   Most of the hunters who dare to sign up know it.

   But there are still people going.

  Everyone is betting.

   It’s not me who bet to death.

   Betting that you can get rich overnight.

   Two days later.

  Ji Xun came to the hunter union in the camp. After gathering, their two hundred pioneer hunters marched all the way to a mountain more than ten kilometers northeast of the ruins.

   Here, they saw the three hundred elites who had been waiting here for a long time.

  Heavy Armor, Medic, Assassin, Crossbowman

  Melee, long-range, healing, scouting. Everything you need.

   But obviously, these are not for hunters like them.

   It was the blond noble young master who was protected by a group of masters.

  The ninth young master of the Lionheart family, Kahn.

  The hunters looked at this posture and looked at each other, most of them didn’t know what happened.

   But Ji Xun looked indifferent.

  You never have to doubt the profession of a professional intelligence merchant.

  Pay enough price, you can get satisfactory information.

  Ji Xun got detailed information the day before.

  The reason why the young master named Kahn wanted to take the risk himself was because this was the coming-of-age test for the heirs of the “Lionheart Family”.

   This guy is also a notorious top dude in Dragon City. When something happened, he was exiled by his family to Innocence City to avoid the limelight.

  The reason why the Kahn family frequently produces strong people is not only the family background, but also the cultivation of descendants.

  This family has a **** ancestral motto, that is, every direct descendant must experience a difficult challenge in a different-dimensional space when they grow up, and hunt for a rare second-order material as a coming-of-age gift before they are eligible to inherit the patriarch.

  No one can violate the teachings of the ancestors.

  This ancestral precept caused heavy casualties to the bloodline of the Anka family, but it also made the Lionheart family unfailing for hundreds of years!

  Ji Xun even knew that the young master Kahn’s goal was to personally hunt and kill a catastrophe that was at least level two.

   But looking at the hundreds of elite guards, Ji Xun didn’t know what to say.

   It feels purely like krypton gold players bringing a group of magical costumes to low-level dungeons.

  Even if they are all first-level guards, they are all elites. With these equipments, not to mention the second-level disasters, the third-level hellhounds will be hammered into huskies.

  The other hunters were happy and worried when they saw the three hundred well-trained noble private soldiers.

   After all, in the eyes of many people, the stronger the team, the greater the probability of customs clearance.

  They can also follow suit.

   But Ji Xun is not so optimistic.

   Mortality if there is a guarantee.

  The stronger your teammates are, the higher your mortality rate should be.

  There is nothing to talk about, a group of people stepped into the twisted light door one after another.

  The surrounding scene changed, and Ji Xun found himself in a fortress.

   Enlightenment also occurs at the same time.

  「You have entered the “Third Holy Grail War·Outpost War””

  「Current catastrophe level 2nd grade D, death rate: 93.4%」

  「Space exploration progress: 7.3%」

  「Special rule: Technological weapons beyond the space age level are prohibited」

  「Keyword: War Mode」

   “Clue: The war between the human kingdom and the **** lord is imminent, and the war fortress on the edge of the kingdom has found traces of the demon vanguard; they are about to invade the human territory on a large scale.”

“Mission: You and your teammates are kingdom soldiers supporting the fortress. You need to hunt demons and get 100 combat points to leave the battlefield. Demons are everywhere. This is a very dangerous task. You will face more than ten times as many demons. warrior”

  「Reminder: War mode battle merit points can be exchanged for additional prizes; special items such as ‘Space Teleportation Card’, ‘Holy Water of Life’, and ‘Dead Grass Man’ are added to the settlement special card pool;”

   “Is this the war mode? Tsk tsk, there are so many good things.”

  Ji Xun also opened his eyes when he saw the series of names of special items.

  These are the treasures that the hunter union has offered rewards all year round. Everyone has only heard of them, but they have never seen them.

  [Space Teleportation Card] can interrupt the exploration mission in the different-dimensional space and force the teleportation out.

   It is not surprising how much you can sell if you can save your life at critical times.

  He suspected that Chu Jiu had such a card in his hand.

   And like the [Holy Water of Life] in the back, as long as there is still a breath, it can bring people back from the brink of death. Even if you drink it empty mouth, it can increase your lifespan and activate cells to become younger. This is also the top potion that noble ladies offer rewards all the year round.

   There are many, many more.

   Only the death rate of this war mode can produce these rare items.

  Ji Xun did not look at any special card pools, after all, it is something that can only be considered after clearing the customs.

  He carefully read the tasks and clues that enlightenment appeared.

   The plot of the war mode is very straightforward.

   It is two camps fighting, killing is the main line.

   Humans and demons.

  Ji Xun observed the surrounding environment, and in front of him was an ancient magic style fortress built of stone and wood.

   Before he could think too much, an armored officer not far away shouted loudly: “Everyone come here to accept the military merit mission!”

   The story has not been sorted out, there is only one update today.
