Cataclysm King

Chapter 15 Why does this guy gamble with his life?

Ji Xun carefully observed the shadows of those panicked mercenaries.

He saw very clearly just now that before the man severed his head, the shadow on the ground had an incision first, and then the neck was severed.

In other words, there is some mysterious force that killed his shadow.

Then the person died.

"Another incomprehensible means"

Ji Xun whispered to himself.

It looks as evil as the previous curse.

This must be the legendary disaster on the fourth floor of the bunker that no one has ever seen.

The intelligence said that if someone went to the fourth floor, someone would die inexplicably.The wound was cut with a sharp knife, but no one has ever seen the monster.

The girl with the mechanical arm on the side saw this scene and felt a chill on her neck.

This kind of attack method, even she is hard to guard against.

She glanced around, although she couldn't see clearly in the dark, she didn't panic at all when she heard the subtle rhythm of heartbeat.

She knew that this guy was as calm as ever.

The girl with the mechanical arm didn't know why the two of them were hiding here, as if they hadn't been discovered by the monster.

But he was thinking about his teammate's action of smashing the gas lamp just now, and seemed to have a vague guess: Can a dark environment avoid monster perception?

How did this guy find out?
The girl with the mechanical arm felt that she had grasped the main point.

However, before she could think about it any further, the guy next to her suddenly drew his gun again.

"Bang" and "bang" several gunshots pierced the eardrums.

The corner of the girl's eyes twitched inexplicably, and then her face changed suddenly, and she turned her head and looked over in disbelief.

That calamity chased a few mercenaries away. Originally, as long as the two of them hid here quietly, they would have a high probability of avoiding disaster.

However, people never expected that a gun rang next to them!

The girl with the mechanical arm looked at Ji Xun who suddenly raised a gun and extinguished five nearby gas lamps in shock.

This guy is crazy again?

Wouldn't shooting at this time attract the monsters?
But before she could understand anything, a fast but well-organized battle arrangement came from her ears: "The disaster is hidden in the shadow of people. It will definitely attack me in a while. If you sense it, tell me. If I Make a mistake, and you kill it."

"."

Hearing this, the girl with the mechanical arm realized in her heart: Did this guy shoot to attract monsters on purpose?
But, how do you know that the monster will "definitely" come for you?

And he didn't have an accurate perception of the monster's situation, how did he know that the monster was hiding in the shadow?
Hey. Shadow!

If the monster hides in the shadow, then if there is no shadow, then there is no place for the monster to hide?

When is there no shadow?
When there is no light!
Suddenly it dawned on her, she understood why this guy broke the lamp and hid in the dark.

Ji Xun knew that his behavior would definitely confuse his teammates. After all, he relied on combat power, so he still had to explain: "Brightness makes people see things, but sometimes it can cover up the bright stars in the dark."

Before the monster came, he added another sentence: "Once you lose your target, it will be very troublesome to wait for it to come to us next time."

The girl with the mechanical arm showed surprise.

Indeed, when the shadow calamity kills those mercenaries, it will definitely come to find the remaining living people in the laboratory—they!
When the time comes to be passively attacked, the risk will be infinitely magnified by the monster's stealthy means.

She also instantly understood why this guy chose to attract monsters now.

I also guessed what he was going to do with it.

But although she probably figured out the reason, this is the strongest and most troublesome disaster known in this different-dimensional space!

Every time this guy bets his life, he doesn't hesitate at all?

Several sudden gunshots also attracted the attention of the three mercenaries who were facing a desperate situation.

They were taken aback for a moment, who was shooting?
Then the ecstasy of the aftermath.

Those two idiots even lured the monster over!
Huh. Not right.

These two guys are not dead?
Had the kobolds not found them?

But I can't control it, it's important to escape now.

At this moment, the three of them wished they didn't have a few more legs, and they disappeared into the passage in just a few blinks of an eye.

Ji Xun didn't wait for the monster to kill all the mercenaries before he started. After all, he needed a few bald men to continue to be shit-stirring sticks to touch the unknown danger behind.

It's better to keep alive.

The gunshots just attract the monster's attention, but not lock the aggro.

In order to prevent the monster from taking the bait, Ji Xun directly took out the lighter.

As soon as it was lit, Ji Xun's figure in the darkness was illuminated by the flickering flames.

The fire light illuminated the face wearing the gas mask, and the flames were reflected in his eyes, shining brightly.

With the lighter behind him, his swaying shadow appeared in front of him.

The girl with the mechanical arm already knew what he was going to do.

This guy wants to use himself as a bait to forcefully kill that monster!

That guy's decisiveness didn't even give her much time to think. At this moment, she couldn't afford to think about it. She quietly retreated into the darkness, fully on guard.If a teammate makes a mistake, he can make up for it.

Sure enough!

The girl's perception was fully released, and she suddenly found the target.

"coming!"

Ji Xun also immediately received a signal reminder like a needle prick in his head.

This kind of spiritual communication is a way that the two have negotiated, and it is much more efficient than talking and communicating.

Almost at the same time, Ji Xun released the skill card [Severing Hand of Gambling Dog] to his shadow without hesitation.

While making the movements, the enlightenment in his eyes came into his mind.

【Shadow Demon】

Detailed explanation: first-order A-level disaster; dark pollution body, good at shadow assassination; it is a demon hiding in the shadow, it can quietly take your life away; death is like the wind, like a shadow.

Another A-level disaster.

It was the monster on the fourth floor of the bunker that no one had ever seen before.

Because everyone who saw it died.

Once it possesses a person's shadow, it is dead the moment the person sees it.

However, before Calamity started to kill, a mysterious force descended.

Ji Xun predicted his own shadow and released the card-directed skill [Gambling Dog's Broken Hand].

A mysterious curse was released, and enlightenment was seen immediately.

"Release the curse on the target, with a 50% chance of success, the target is dead"

Ji Xun survived.

And his shadow also squirmed and deformed, and fell to the ground.

Taking a closer look, it was a pitch-black dwarf monster, an A-level calamity [Shadow Demon].

Seeing the monster being killed, the girl with the mechanical arm also appeared next to Ji Xun for the first time. She looked at the corpse on the ground in disbelief, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak: A-level disaster was killed again like this?

It simply made her feel like she was dreaming.

The previous [Gambling Dog] was like this, and the current [Shadow Demon] is also like this.

He was killed in one encounter.

If it wasn't for the fact that she personally hunted down a [Fallen Witch] who was even weaker at the same level and was severely injured, she even suspected that the difficulty of this different-dimensional space had been reduced.

Ji Xun had already explained before that the girl with the mechanical arm knew the so-called secret of customs clearance.

She also knew that the curse card in Ji Xun's hand was the "key" to clear the level.

But even if there are cards, there is only a 50% chance!

Half of the probability of killing monsters, and half of the probability of sudden death.

How dare this guy?

Moreover, no one has ever seen the elusive monster on the fourth floor. Even the most complete information I bought from the information dealer was only a few words. How does this guy know that the monster is hiding in the shadows?

For a moment, she even wondered if her temporary teammate was a humanoid calamity in itself.Otherwise, how could he know this different-dimensional space so well?Still slept with the witch all night and survived?
With the thought together, the girl asked in a strange tone: "How do you know that the monster is hiding in the shadow?"

Hearing the tone of this, Ji Xun obviously guessed that the girl was thinking about it, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "It was recorded in those files before. Otherwise, what do you think is recorded in such an important clue?"

As he said that, he roughly recounted the contents of the file again: "The test subject in the 4011 laboratory cabin was secondarily deformed into an A-level assassin-type calamity [Shadow Thorn], hidden in the shadow."

"???"

Hearing this, the girl realized that she was thinking too much, but she was immediately shocked.

She had a vague impression of this, as if there were files recording some research on monsters.

But it's a thick stack, and I can't read it in a few days. This guy actually remembers it completely after flipping through it?

Those materials are in her storage space at the moment, and the girl said in a strange tone: "Your such a thick file, have you read it all?"

I was threatened by monsters the whole time before, where would I have time to look carefully?
Ji Xun explained casually: "I haven't read all of them. I picked some important ones and saw that the description of the monster matches the information you said, so I paid more attention."

His thinking is very active, and it is not difficult to see ten lines at a glance.

If he reads alone, the efficiency is equivalent to several people browsing at the same time.

This is one of the few benefits of a pathological state of mind.

But there is no need to explain so much.

Hearing this, the girl with the mechanical arm suddenly understood something.

This guy, did he awaken some mysterious talents, such as wisdom?

And that's the only explanation.

No wonder the body is so weak, but he behaved indifferently from the beginning to the end.

But it's one thing to remember, and quite another to act on it.

The girl frowned again and asked: "But...that card only has a 50% chance of success. Are you not afraid of losing the bet?"

"Obviously, I bet right."

Ji Xun spread his hands casually.

Of course it doesn't stop there.

He looked at the gaze beside him who would not stop giving an explanation, and could only explain: "50% probability, if you don't consider other things, this level is indeed a life gamble. But it can be confirmed now, in this space There are other forces at play."

"???"

The girl with the mechanical arm still didn't understand.

The explanation in a few words is not clear, and Ji Xun didn't mean to explain further, saying: "I will know in a while. We have passed the test of this different-dimensional space, and now we should be close to the final level."

It was true that there was a gambling element when encountering a gambling dog before, but not now.

When he saw [Gambling Dog's Severed Hand], he was sure that he would be able to kill the Shadow Demon.
