Chapter 223 Was the angel killed by Nan Jing? (Please subscribe)
This is the sixth floor of the mine.
Sounding like a mine, it looks more like some irregular cracks naturally formed in the rock, and a few artificially dug holes.
Observing the surroundings carefully, you can already see some spiritual crystals emitting white light sporadically on the rock wall, and the quality is not low.
The crystal nuclei here are enough to exchange for enough food. If the "miners" above see it, they will be robbed.
Even if Ji Xun entered here, he would have entered a treasure house full of gold coins.
But this is not all a good thing.
The denser the crystal nuclei, the more serious the mental pollution.
At this moment, the entire space on the sixth floor is filled with circles of fluorescent ripples visible to the naked eye.
These deadly "fluorescences" like nuclear radiation are always eroding the souls of all living creatures on this level.
Ji Xun didn’t dare waste time digging for crystal nuclei.
Although he can now absorb negative mental power to improve his understanding of the law, he is limited by his rank and has an upper limit to what he can endure.
He is only at level three.
The mental pollution on the sixth floor of this mine is already a hundred times stronger than on the first floor.
Even though Ji Xun has the clown mask and the blessing of JOKER, he feels like he is being roasted on the fire at this moment, and he always has a violent urge to go crazy and kill.
He knew very well that once that thought got out of control, he would immediately go crazy and never wake up.
“Can’t stay long”
After walking for a while, Ji Xun felt slightly in a trance.
Fortunately, he brought enough potions, so he immediately poured himself a bottle of [Advanced Sobriety Potion].
Then he continued to walk cautiously in the mine tunnel.
Before, he felt that there were fragments in those mental powers that were of great benefit to martial arts and laws, and he carefully understood them along the way.
But now I don’t dare.
The negative mental power here is so violent that it can directly wash away the pollution from his consciousness.
Enlightenment clearly indicates the negative state.
“Eroded by ‘unknown evil thoughts’, mental confusion +1”
“Polluted by the remaining soul of the ‘Black Cross Fighting Spirit’, mental confusion +1”
Moreover, Ji Xun, who had transformed into a werewolf, had clearly sensed the crisis.
As the intelligence said, there are some unknown dangers on this level.
“Gah ga ga, I’ve realized it! I’ve realized the supreme sword intention.”
“Jiejiejie is wrong, and where is the mistake?”
“Ah, don’t kill me. Hahaha, don’t be afraid, how could I kill you?”
ˆ “.”
From time to time, various demon-like roars came from my ears.
Ji Xun himself could hardly tell whether it was the sound heard by his ears or the hallucination caused by mental pollution.
He tried to avoid those mine tunnels where "abnormal lunatics" might be present.
According to the information previously obtained from the three people, these madmen who have been waiting on the fifth and sixth floors no longer want to mine in exchange for food. They have gone crazy and want to understand some super-level secrets from those ancient spiritual pollutions. . Mining is just a remaining instinct.
"What exactly is under this ruins? And is that 'senior' really under here?"
Ji Xun even doubted his own judgment.
The further he went underground, the more serious the pollution became.
It is said that below the sixth floor of the mine where the pollution originated, there are seven floors that no one has ever visited.
But these are just legends circulated among the miners.
Because no human miner has ever been to the seventh floor.
That place is just nonsense heard from the mouths of "crazy people".
Ji Xun is not sure whether he will be able to get there safely in his current state.
There were more and more crystal nuclei on the surrounding rock walls, so he dug out a few that were convenient for him to harvest.
These are scarce and expensive spiritual materials.
Because he was careful enough, Ji Xun didn't encounter any crazy people.
But as he was walking, he glanced at the rock wall from the corner of his eye, and suddenly he said softly in his heart: "Huh?"
Stop and take a look, there are some little people carved crookedly on the rock wall.
The carving is very rough, and it looks like a child using a sharp instrument to scribble on the stone wall crookedly and randomly.
However, at the first glance, Ji Xun's eyes were attracted.
He is now in a state of demonic solution, and his understanding is astonishing.
As soon as I saw the different patterns on it, it was like a slide show in my mind, and the little people started to move.
“Martial skills?”
Ji Xun was also surprised when he saw it.
And it’s not an ordinary martial skill!
Even from his current perspective, it is a rare and mysterious method that is difficult to understand.
There are many ancient martial arts techniques that are even unheard of.
After looking carefully for a while, enlightenment suddenly appeared.
“You looked at the stone carvings of spears and understood a little bit of the ‘hunting god’s great spear skills (pseudo)’.”
“You looked at the stone sword manual and understood a little bit of the ‘Secret Art: Demon-Slaying Sword Technique Nineteen (Bad)’.”
“You looked at the stone-carved boxing manual and understood a bit of the ‘unique skill: Tongming Shenquan (imitation)’.”
ody
Ji Xun looked at it and was immersed in it without realizing it.
The patterns of these little figures are not just movements, but also contain a certain "meaning" conveyed by the carvers.
That kind of artistic conception is like a good drinker tasting fine wine. After one sip, the heat is so hot that it goes straight to the sky, but it is not uncomfortable. Instead, it has a mellow fragrance and endless aftertaste.
The more I taste it, the more I feel that it has a variety of flavors.
For card masters in the fighter sequence, this is simply a "treasure trove of martial arts" with a fatal temptation.
Let people take one look and want to move on to the next one.
But looking at it, something doesn’t feel right.
There is a strong personal will in those martial arts, which is twisted and deformed
Looking at those patterns, it feels like someone is trying to force those insights into your mind.
This made Ji Xun feel as if his eyes were welded to the rock wall even though he saw the reminder of mental pollution.
Even he himself didn't realize that he had fallen into a very strange state.
There seems to be a strange obsession in my heart.
Either learn or reverse those wills that are inconsistent with your own ideas.
Just when this abnormal state occurs, the negative mental forces around him also come in like a tide, as if there is a gap and quietly seep in.
Ji Xun didn’t even realize he was immersed in it.
But after watching for a moment, the werewolf's instinctive vigilance suddenly made him feel a cold murderous intention on his back.
Ji Xun woke up from a sleepwalking state and immediately realized something: "Enemy attack!"
Without any hesitation, the curse marks were instantly spread all over the body, and a bronze metallic paint appeared on the skin.
At the first moment, there was a layer of punching energy in his fist, and he turned around and punched hard.
At the same time, Ji Xun realized belatedly that he was addicted to looking at the stone carvings just now, and he shouted in his heart: "What a strong mental addiction!"
This mural is more powerful than some hallucinogenic drugs.
Nearly suffered a big loss.
A thought flashed across my mind.
“Boom!”
Ji Xun just hit the sneak attacker's fist with one punch.
Although he has just advanced to the third level, his fists blessed with **** and cursed seals are like steel cones, and with the strange punch power of [Two Extremes Collapsing], normally, if he hits an alloy shield, he will be able to collapse an alloy shield with one punch. Big hole.
But just at this confident counterattack, the moment his fists touched, Ji Xun's expression suddenly changed.
He felt that his fist did not hit a physical fist, but hit the tip of a sharp knight's spear!
In an instant, there was a "click" sound of bone cracking, and the strange piercing force pierced several of his phalanges.
“It’s actually a spear skill?!”
Ji Xun was shocked when he saw this.
He never expected that this punch turned out to be the spear skill he saw on the rock wall just now!
But it’s not over yet!
The strange force on the sneak attacker's fist did not dissipate. Instead, it had the momentum to rush into Ji Xun's body and shatter everything along his arm.
The fatal crisis hit me instantly.
Ji Xun knew that if he continued to fight head-on, he would be severely injured.
He changed his stance, quickly released his foot, and with the force of the recoil, he flew backwards without any force.
“Boom!”
Ji Xun was punched hard against the rock wall, causing large pieces of gravel to fall.
Fortunately, the arm was saved.
Before he had any time to breathe, the guy opposite yelled and rushed over again: "Wow, wow, wow!"
Ji Xun then saw clearly. Isn't this the "deformed lunatic with three arms" who killed the hooked nose with one punch before?
However, Mingming. Mingming, the physical strength of this long-armed madman’s body should be at the level of a third-level card master.
Even Ji Xun felt that he was not as good as himself.
How can it be so strong?
When he was distributing food, he saw this madman blowing up the hooked nose with one punch. Ji Xun thought it was just using some kind of special punch.
However, when he faced it, he realized how weird that punch was.
If it weren't for the special secret technique of the Overlord Body and the curse seal, the strange spear power just entered his body, and most of his body would have been broken apart.
At this moment of thinking, the long-armed monster had already charged over.
The long arms were like two spears, and the sound of the air crackled when they were struck.
Ji Xun did not dare to be careless. While blocking and dodging, a green light lingered on his badly injured right arm, which healed in the blink of an eye.
“Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”.
The two sides have fought for several rounds in a very short period of time.
The monster's movement was very strange. In this cramped mine, it was not even much slower than Ji Xun's werewolf body.
Furthermore, ordinary people’s arms only have one joint, but this guy has two joints, so the direction of his fist is completely unpredictable.
Once you touch it up close, the strength is like a sharp thorn drilling into the flesh.
Even though Ji Xun was able to fight back and forth, he still suffered a lot.
If he hadn't been physically strong enough and had the secret technique of "Immortality Curse", he would probably have lost his arms and legs long ago.
Ji Xun was amazed at just this sudden confrontation: "Is this the 'meaning' that this guy has understood? His combat intuition is absolutely watertight."
The more I beat him, the more shocked I became.
This monster seems to have an unconscious instinct, and its attacks and blocks are always at the right place.
This made Ji Xun very clear that he would never get any advantage in fighting.
Even though his physical attributes are much stronger.
The noise of the battle was very loud, and it sounded like the sound of blasting off explosives in the mine.
And there is more than one aberrant miner on the sixth floor of this mine!
“We must fight quickly!”
Ji Xun didn't want to get entangled. Seeing that he couldn't win in a short time, a silver light flashed in his hand.
The scalpel flew out like lightning.
.
The scalpel was invisible in the darkness, stabbing rapidly.
However, the long-armed monster perfectly avoided it with a strange posture.
Ji Xun frowned slightly when he saw this, but at the same time, a layer of gravitational ripples appeared in his hand.
The left paw of the five fingers suddenly pulled, and the flying knives that had just flown out turned around strangely, and then shot back at ten times the speed.
The long-armed miner seemed to be aware of it and had instinctively made a dodge action.
However, the speed of the flying knife is too fast and it is impossible to completely avoid it.
The two knives "嚓" and "嚓" still cut into its joints.
One of the knives hit his knee exactly, making a **** hole, and the whole body staggered and knelt down.
Ji Xun watched as the lunatic showed his flaws. He left a series of afterimages in his path. He appeared face to face in front of the guy and punched him.
“Boom!”
The long-armed madman was blasted away, a mouthful of blood spurted out in mid-air, and then he hit the rock wall.
With this punch, human beings would have been dead or severely disabled.
But instead of seeing much decline, this aberrant monster started to laugh strangely: "Wow, quack, master! Master!"
Speaking, he limped again and rushed forward.
“It’s so difficult.”
If there was only this aberrant monster, Ji Xun felt that he could kill it slowly and slowly.
But during the moment when the two of them were fighting, he heard at least three unusual movements in the surrounding mines.
There is no aberrant miner on the sixth floor of this mine who is easy to deal with.
Ji Xun did not dare to waste any more, so he changed his legs to four legs, climbed on the rock wall with his wolf claws, and quickly rushed into the depths of the cave.
Fortunately, he evacuated decisively.
Almost as soon as he stepped forward, several strangely distorted miners emerged from the other mines and blocked the previous mine.
Watching Ji Xun escape, four or five monsters chased him all the way.
Fortunately, although these madmen have good fighting ability, their agility attributes are much worse than those of the werewolves Ji Xun transformed, and they are not good at climbing walls.
He ran wildly, and soon there was no movement behind him.
But at this time, Ji Xun also realized something else.
The monster didn’t come over, maybe it wasn’t just that he couldn’t catch up.
But he has come to a very dangerous place.
There are no obvious boundaries between "layers" and "layers" in this mine. They are all mine tunnels and natural rock crevices dug by miners.
Then rock formation areas are roughly distinguished by pollution levels. Ji Xun felt the intensity of pollution around him. It was several times stronger than before.
He felt that he should be on the legendary "seventh floor".
The information I received before is that the monsters in this mine generally do not actively attack humans.
Ji Xun was attacked by the long-armed lunatic just now, and he must have broken into their "territory".
Ji Xun also guessed that Ji Xun was sensitive to some mental fluctuations such as "malice" and "murderous intent" among the others who came after him, so he was attracted to them.
“Seven floors should be the limit”
Ji Xun looked around. Within a moment, his nerves ached from the pollution.
The negative mental energy here is filled with a lot of killing and violence. It is a kind of violent pollution that makes people sink quickly whenever they relax.
After walking a few steps, I saw some severely deformed human skeletons in the corner.
I identified the texture of the bones. They were as tough as iron and had a jade-like color. These were obviously the bones of a "high-level card master".
The breath of any living beings can no longer be seen or felt nearby.
ˆ “.”
Ji Xun looked at the deep mine tunnel with a serious expression.
Originally I wanted to explore the source of the pollution, but now it seems almost impossible.
If he continues, he is not sure that he will not suffer from mental pollution and distortion.
Thinking that he had already arrived here, he took another sip of the awakening potion. The "Kongyue Shenxiang" also started to operate to protect his consciousness, and he decided to walk inside again.
After walking a few steps, I saw some carvings on the rock wall.
At a cursory glance, there are still some fragmented moves such as martial arts and spells.
Looking at the sentiments carved by those deformed lunatics.
These stone carvings are treasures.
Even if it is incomplete, if you really want to dig it out and take it out, it will definitely be a "high-level secret book".
However, the martial arts here are obviously more addictive.
Having suffered a loss before, Ji Xun didn't dare to focus on it anymore.
I thought that if I didn’t find anything, I would peel off the rock wall before leaving and take it up to take a look.
It’s not like your trip was in vain.
Ji Xun just walked all the way.
After about another hundred meters of extremely difficult walking, he suddenly stopped.
Because at this time, he has reached the end of the road.
This is a huge space.
In the middle, there is an endless dark hole.
Ji Xun looked around, like a bottomless pit, unable to see anything at all.
But it was like walking to the crater of a volcano, and the "burning feeling" was already unbearable.
The mental pollution billowing out of the black hole was so strong that Ji Xun felt like a wave hitting his face. His whole soul was shaking, and he was about to leave his body at any moment.
“Is this the source of pollution?”
Ji Xun looked at the black hole and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Even if his mental perception is completely blocked, this is no longer a point he can bear.
The devil knows how deep the pit is.
Ji Xun glanced around the pit, but was disappointed.
He saw no living person.
Not even aberrations.
There were only a few corpses in the corner.
“Isn’t it here?”
Ji Xun has already begun to think about quitting.
He came here just to find the legendary "senior".
But now it seems that there are no living people at all.
There were a lot of crystals on the ground. Ji Xun picked up a few of the best-looking ones and turned around to leave.
But just before leaving, he glanced at the rock wall that was also full of stone carvings from the corner of his eye, and he was attracted again.
If it were just some fragments of martial arts, Ji Xun would never risk his life to read more.
But his eyes stayed.
Because on a stone wall, I saw a narrative sculpture of a battle.
The carving is completely different from other stone carvings.
That piece is clearly a masterpiece.
Not only is it meticulous, exquisite and expressive, but it is also filled with color.
This is often seen in ancient ruins.
Usually used to record major events that occurred before the ruins existed.
The same is true for this mural.
What is carved on it is a group of armored knights, led by a woman wearing a bright red sacrificial robe, surrounding and killing an angel with wings?
That's why he couldn't keep his eyes open.
"what's the situation?"
Ji Xun saw this content and immediately realized that this might be the origin of the mine ruins.
But he was not surprised by this.
What’s surprising is the appearance of the man in red robe!
“This is the Southern Mirror?”
Ji Xun looked at the content on the mural and was surprised to find that the appearance of the red-robed priest was very vivid and familiar to him at a glance.
That priest actually looks a bit like Miss Wanzitou!
They are friends after all, Ji Xun’s first impression is of her!
“Is this the high priest of Oran?”
Ji Xun suddenly realized that it was not that he looked similar to Nan Jing, but that he had a similar appearance to the great priest of Oran.
After all, he had met Nanjing’s mother.
Mother and daughter are also very similar.
The red-robed priest on the mural is also very similar to the "Nan Aunt".
In other words, is this the bloodline ancestor of Nanjing?
But Ji Xun suddenly thought of another question: "No, isn't this Sinless City the relics of the ancient Talon Kingdom of 3,000 years ago? Why is it involved with the High Priest of Oran?"
With these thoughts, an idea flashed in his mind, and an idea came to his mind.
Catalina had told him before that the clues unearthed from the Old Continent showed that the Augustus family of the Oran Dynasty, which had ruled the Eastern Continent for more than two thousand years, was very likely to be related to the Austrian family of the Talon Dynasty three thousand years ago. King Gus comes from the same lineage!
“In other words, is the Oran Dynasty really the descendant of the Talon Dynasty? What happened three thousand years ago that caused the Old Continent to be completely destroyed, and the Augustus royal family moved to the Eastern Continent?”
Ji Xun had countless doubts in his mind.
He already knew that he might have touched an unknown period of history.
“Also, the Weeping Angel is actually the ancestor of Nanjing?”
Ji Xun’s eyes twitched sharply.
If the man with wings in the mural is the Weeping Angel on his body, the matter will be complicated.
It’s enough that Nanjing’s ancestor is the high priest of Oran. Why kill angels?
What is the situation with the man wearing the crown who is protected by the angel, the royal family?
And not only the angels and priests are familiar with it, but also the knight legion Ji Xun.
The Crusader shield and various symbols wearing crosses, aren't these the images of the [Keepers of Secrets] in "The Great Cemetery Labyrinth"?
Various signs indicate that this is a relic from the Talon Dynasty.
For a moment, Ji Xun felt like his mind was in a mess.
My thoughts seem to be out of control.
He did not dare to look more and avoided looking.
It's a coincidence.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from my ears - "dong".
Ji Xun’s expression changed drastically!
He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Like the sound of a heartbeat.
Although weak.
But in this absolutely quiet underground, you can hear it clearly.
Ji Xun felt that if it wasn't a mental hallucination, he must have heard something.
But even after looking over, he found nothing and immediately became suspicious: "Hallucination?"
Don’t dare to be careless.
But after observing for a while longer, I still found nothing.
Ji Xun's eyes then looked at the details of the mural.
Looks like the scene where the red-robed priest led the knight legion to fight with a few angels.
“It turns out that this ruins is an ancient battlefield”
Ji Xun suddenly understood how this big pit was formed.
There are also those negative spiritual forces lingering in the entire mine. Why are there such strong residual fighting intentions and fragments of various martial arts and spells?
Because these are all left behind by the top card masters who died here.
In the past, the Talon Dynasty had super-level card masters who could compete head-on with the Weeping Angels.
After those super-powerful men died in battle, the fragments left behind were enough for today’s card masters to learn about them for a lifetime.
“Tsk, tsk.”
This feeling of uncovering the secrets of history is very good. Ji Xun's eyes were filled with energy as he looked at it.
But the good times did not last long.
However, after not staying for long, Ji Xun could no longer bear the negative mental pollution around him, and his head became dizzy.
He originally wanted to leave here first, and then come back to observe carefully when his tolerance for mental pollution is stronger.
However, the moment he turned around, he heard a "dong" sound again.
“That’s right! It’s the heartbeat!”
This time, Ji Xun was sure that he had heard correctly and that it was not an illusion.
Because the sound came from the same direction as before!
There are still living people here!
Could it be.
Ji Xun’s eyes suddenly became expectant.
Calculating the time, it only jumped once in one minute?
This is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.
But Ji Xun himself is a qigong master. He has heard a saying that some top qigong masters can reduce their heartbeat and breathing to extremely low levels when they meditate deeply.
That state is almost dormant, which can minimize the body's consumption and allow the body to best maintain "qi".
“It’s that senior! He’s really here!”
Ji Xun has almost confirmed his conjecture after thinking about this.
Only a qigong master of that level can survive in such an environment.
But alive is still alive, Ji Xun is not sure whether the senior is a human being or a deformed monster.
Or even if there is no distortion, there is hostility.
Ji Xun thought about this for a moment.
He had no intention of interrupting and waking up the senior who was deep in meditation.
Instead, he took out the good wine and food from the storage ring and placed them on the ground.
In front of such a master, he felt that the only thing he could offer was the scarce food in these mines.
This was something I had considered before coming in.
●In order to avoid seniors’ tricky tastes, we prepared a lot of all kinds of good wines and dishes.
Besides, it’s always right to be polite first.
I have seen the "meaning" of those deformed lunatics before, and those monsters can easily sense people's malice.
Ji Xun felt that if he showed any crooked thoughts now, he would be immediately defeated.
So he put down his things, turned around decisively, and was about to leave.
Once you meet someone, whether you can get the opportunity or not depends on your luck later.
I can’t get out now anyway.
Don't be in a hurry, you have to wait for the result of this first meeting.
Speaking of which, Ji Xun always had good luck in times of crisis.
He took out a bunch of wine jars and opened a few bottles deliberately.
Just as I was about to leave, my heartbeat started to beat faster and faster in the familiar direction.
"woke up!"
Ji Xun knew that his behavior had awakened the person in deep meditation, and his breathing became slightly heavier.
Although I don’t know whether that senior is good or evil.
But this time he came for this person, and he had to face him after all.
He hasn’t left either.
And the good thing is that when Ji Xun came in before, the man was not awake, but now he is awake after taking out the things, which means that this method of casting stones to ask for directions is correct!
Just when Ji Xun was nervously looking at the direction of the distant sound, a withered arm poked out from the pile of sand and gravel.
Ji Xun then realized that he didn't see anyone just now.
But the senior was buried by the falling sand and gravel.
A hand stretched out, and then, like a zombie crawling out of a grave.
A little old man who was not too tall and skinny stood up.
He didn't even look at Ji Xun, his eyes had already seen the wine on the ground, "Oh, I haven't smelled this smell in many years."
It has been a long time since I spoke, and my voice is still hoarse like gravel stuck in my throat.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of life in the old man's eyes, he would have been a mummy that had just been peeled out of the bandages.
But Ji Xun didn't look down upon him at all.
In another place, this ordinary old man would definitely be ignored by others.
But here, he is still alive, which has already proved that his strength is by no means ordinary.
