Cataclysm King

Chapter 185 Death Sonata

"Ms. Carter, we seem to be unlucky. This is what happened when we encountered a Level [-] disaster. If this continues, it will be difficult for us to return to the Lion City alive."

"Oh, don't look at me with that look. I have been very lucky since I was a child. Look for your own reasons."

"How about you leave first? Your injuries are less severe than mine. It might be safer without me dragging you down."

"Do you want to hear 'I'm leaving, and you will definitely die. You helped me, and I won't give up on you'; or do you want to hear 'My current fate is entangled with yours, and only by cooperating can I have a chance to survive'?"

"Hahaha, I choose the first one. Pfft."

"."

Ji Xungang wanted to laugh, but he couldn't hold it back and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

The ruins of the city, under the broken wall of a broken building.

The two embarrassed figures have been hiding for a long time.

Chatting a few words can be regarded as joy in suffering.

Originally, both of them had a smooth journey.

But for some reason, suddenly there were a lot of fighting sounds in the city ruins.

Ji Xun and the two were not stupid, and they guessed that those people were here to find them.

So the two of them walked all the way to a deserted place.

But those inaccessible places often mean danger.

I just had bad luck and encountered a group of monsters.

There is also a third-level zombie that breeds disaster.

Originally, that kind of monster posed little threat to either of them, but unfortunately both of them were seriously injured.

They were chased by monsters all the way, and after finally killing the disaster, the two of them were injured like this.

Catalina could barely walk.

Ji Xun didn't know what went wrong in the battle just now. He had no feeling in his lower body and was almost paralyzed.

If there was another battle like this, the two of them would probably have to confess on the spot.

The footsteps of monsters around them were still very dense, so they did not dare to go out and took the time to heal their wounds.

Catalina wrapped the injury on her arm with gauze, then looked at Ji Xun, who was completely supported by mechanical skeletons, and said, "Your injury is very serious. If it is not treated in time, it will probably be very bad."

Ji Xun smiled and corrected her statement, saying: "It won't be bad. But it will definitely die."

He is now considered "proficient in advanced medical knowledge" and knows his situation very well.

Not to mention trauma.

Unless the abnormal energy in the body is eliminated, it always feels like dancing in front of death, and will be taken away by a scythe at any time.

But there is no way he can eliminate it now.

The potion in hand is completely useless.

The only way he could think of was "Cell Activity Boiling".

But this secret method is the legendary 52 Demonic Forbidden Techniques.

But it was the second-level "epidemic doctor" Heisen who realized from the copper plate that the level of the law was too low.

It can't solve the problem at all.

And the biggest threat now is not monsters, but every human in the ruins.

Ji Xun's optimistic tone when he spoke this was as if he was not the one who was going to die. Catalina's expression was slightly different when she heard this.

But she herself was not doing well.

A gold coin flipped at her fingertips, and her expression became more and more solemn.

As a result of sharing the same adversity, Catalina did not shy away from the family treasure [Gold Coin of Destiny] passed down to her by her grandfather.

Ji Xun had seen this rare level five relic before.

But I was concerned about privacy and never asked.

Seeing Catalina's expression so serious now, thinking that it didn't matter, he casually asked: "What's wrong? The divination gave a very bad result?"

Catalina shook her head, with a deep look in her crystal eyes, and said in an uncertain tone: "The situation is quite bad. But it seems that my destiny has been interfered with by something. I can't predict the future."

This is a situation she has never encountered before.

Before changing, the simple choice of using this gold coin to predict bad luck should have a general direction no matter what.

But now it's blurry.

It seems that there is some kind of mysterious force interfering.

It gives people the feeling that there is a big hand covering the top of the head, making it impossible to see anything clearly in the future.

Originally thinking of forgetting it, Catalina's mind changed and she suddenly looked at Ji Xun, "How about you help me try?"

Ji Xun was also very interested when he heard this: "Can I still try this?"

Catalina nodded: "Yes. Divination is sometimes more accurate if someone else's luck is added to the fortune telling. What's more, we are now in a cooperative relationship, and our luck is connected."

As she said that, she handed over the fate gold coin directly and said, "Just throw it. The head means 'good luck' and the word means 'unlucky'."

"it is good."

Ji Xun didn't hesitate to listen, so he took the gold coin and threw it up.

The gold coin rolled in the air with a sweet and crisp sound, and then fell into the hand with a snap.

It is the "word" side.

Seeing this result, neither of them were surprised.

In this situation, it would be strange to be able to get a "good" fortune from divination.

However, Catalina just wanted to take the gold coins back.

Suddenly, something strange happened!
The gold coin that had already fallen flat in Ji Xun's palm trembled strangely.

then
Under the surprised gazes of the two people, it stood up strangely!
"???"

When Catalina saw this scene, her blue pupils shrank suddenly.

She looked at the raised gold coin in disbelief and was stunned for two seconds.

Then she looked up at Ji Xun again.

In an instant, it seemed as if the color of the world changed from colorful to gray.

The tremendous pressure of approaching death made her breathe heavily.

When their eyes touched, Ji Xun vaguely guessed something from her trembling pupils, but still asked in a calm tone: "What does this mean?"

Catalina pondered for a moment and only uttered two words: "Extremely sinister appearance."

Ji Xun's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened.

He had never seen such a serious and heavy expression on the face of the eldest lady of the Lionheart family.

After pondering for a moment, he confirmed: "What does 'extremely evil knowing phase' mean?"

Catalina could no longer hear any emotion in her tone, so she changed her words: "Death is certain."

Ji Xun's expression only froze for a moment as he listened, as if he accepted the result immediately.

There was no worry on his face, and he just asked in a joking tone: "Will it not work?"

Catalina shook her head and said softly: "This gold coin was given to me by Senior Xu 200 years ago, by the ancestor of the Lion Heart Family."

Hearing this, Ji Xun also realized the seriousness of the problem: "Oh."

The one given by Old Man Xu is most likely accurate.

just oh?
Catalina was still thinking about where this dead end would come from.

But listening to Ji Xun Yun Danfengqing's response, she suddenly thought of something else. She turned around and asked, "How do I find out that you don't seem to be afraid at any time?"

It’s a dead end now!

Dead end, understand? !

Life will be like a vase, it will break into pieces.

Not anymore.

Ji Xun looked at her as if she had been curious for a long time, smiled, and expressed his inner thoughts, "Since it is a dead end, I am thinking about how I will die in this world."

As he said this, he seemed to have imagined something, "I hope there will be a splendid and wonderful curtain call."

Catalina frowned when she heard this, feeling that this answer was a bit ridiculous: "Are you not afraid at all?"

Now there is no inscrutable Senior Xu, and he doesn't carry anything to protect his life. The city is full of enemies.

She couldn't see any hope of resolving this situation.

The same is true for Ji Xun.

The [Sorrowman] card was consumed, and the Weeping Angel was also taken away. He is still seriously injured, and he can't be in a worse state than now.

But Ji Xun remained calm and asked: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will lose your life?"

Thinking about it, he shook his head, with an indifferent chuckle on his lips, and said, "If I have no choice, I will try my best to find some happiness at the end of my life."

A man and a woman alone, in the dark ruins of the city, this environment always makes people's thoughts wander.

Hearing this, Catalina obviously misunderstood his off-the-wall words and glanced at him strangely: What do you want to do?

"Ha ha."

Ji Xun did not explain the misunderstanding of the lion-hearted lady. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at her with a playful expression.

Catalina looked at his expression and knew that she was overthinking.

But it is this kind of freedom in the face of death that seems to be contagious, and the anxious mood just now calms down a lot.

It seemed that from this moment on, she felt that she really knew the guy in front of her.

After the divination revealed the worst result, the two became increasingly calm.

Ji Xun also had to admit that Catalina was a very good chat partner.

The knowledge and knowledge of ladies from top aristocratic families are among the best in the world.

Occasionally, she would share some of her own opinions when chatting about life, ideals, poetry, art, and the meaning of life.

This kind of small talk without any probing purpose made both of them very happy.

But this broken building is an area densely populated with monsters, so you can't stay there for a long time.After taking a short rest and stabilizing their injuries, the two were ready to leave.

Catalina looked at his limp legs and asked, "Can you still walk?"

Ji Xun tried it and shook his head.

He has some feeling in his legs, but not enough to control the mechanical skeleton to get him to stand up.

Before he could say anything, Catalina pursed her lips.

He hesitated for a moment, as if he was having some kind of ideological struggle.

Then she leaned down and began to help disassemble the mechanical exoskeleton, and at the same time said: "Come up, I will carry you."

Ji Xun was completely unpretentious and grinned: "Okay."

It is rare for such a noble lady to lower her body and carry someone on her back.

Catalina rolled her eyes at him.

After dismantling the mechanical skeleton, she squatted and carried Ji Xun on her back.

But their movements were very unfamiliar, and when they climbed out of the broken wall, they almost fell onto the rubble.

Ji Xun took this opportunity to joke: "I'm going to fall."

Catalina ignored it and didn't even turn her face to let others see her expression. She said quietly: "You are content with what you are doing. I have never betrayed anyone since I was a child. You are still the first."

Ji Xun's lips raised slightly: "No wonder."

It was the first time he climbed on a woman, and when he saw how useless he was, his smile was more self-deprecating.

But it seems that at this moment, I understand a little bit.

I understand why the mysterious man seriously injured himself.

Catalina carried Ji Xun on her back and walked through the ruins.

However, this area is already densely populated with monsters, and Ji Xun's "bad luck gambler" aura never counts on good luck.

Not long after leaving, they encountered another wave of monsters.

To make matters worse, the news of fighting monsters finally attracted the people who were looking for them in the city.

After a while, the battle was over.

But the trouble has just begun.

There were five corpses on the ground.

There was a blood hole running through the forehead of the corpse.

This is an elite reconnaissance team, all card masters of the first and second level assassins.

Although Ji Xun and Katarina were seriously injured, they easily eliminated the team.

However, Catalina looked at the equipment of the corpse on the ground with an extremely serious expression, and said: "Now that's troublesome, this is the professional investigation team of my Lionheart family's 'Wolf Hunter Legion'. Usually the first 2, the middle 3, and the back 2 Formation. In other words, two more ran away. They found us and the news was sent back."

"Oh."

Ji Xun looked helpless.

This formation is to prevent the investigation team from being wiped out in one fell swoop.

He had tried his best to resolve the battle just now, but he still let people run away.

The execution capabilities of professional scout corps and idle hunters are completely different.

They appeared in the ruins, which means that the ruins have already been laid out in a grid shape, and there are investigation teams everywhere.

It was perfectly normal to be discovered.

Catalina was very aware of the combat effectiveness of her own legion, and added: "The appearance of this elite reconnaissance team in the ruins must be because someone in the city has issued an emergency war mobilization. My uncles and brothers are probably mobilizing all the forces that can be mobilized at this moment. The power won’t let me return to the city alive.”

Ji Xun looked unconcerned when he heard this, as there were too many enemies to overwhelm him.

Catalina thought for a moment and then said: "The only good news is that not many methods were exposed just now. The top leaders of the legion are not sure that it must be us, and they may not come to the top experts at the first time."

As she said that, she sighed slightly: "Let's go, the first wave of pursuers will come soon. Once we are delayed, we will be in big trouble."

Ji Xun nodded: "Yes."

Neither of them complained.

After all, I have already been mentally prepared.

Now that the position is exposed, we can only try to see if we can rush out before being surrounded again.

But the truth is as bad as the divination.

After all, Catalina is a card master of the magic system, and she is injured and cannot run fast.

The two of them didn't run for long before they found themselves being hung up by a scout behind them.

Those guys didn't have any intention of taking action, so they just kept hanging from a distance.

Ji Xun could be killed easily when he was in his prime, but now he is completely helpless.

It didn’t take long for one to become several.

With their movements locked by this well-trained army, there was no trace of Ji Xun and the two men hiding anything.

It didn't take long before a team of hundreds of people stopped them.

The dark streets were filled with thick fog.

The two parties faced each other on the dilapidated streets.

There are people in front and behind.

Two lonely guys were stuck in the middle.

Ji Xun's face was pale and he lay on Katrina's back.

He looked at the guys not far away who were not wearing the military uniforms of the Lionheart family, but whose eyes were as sharp as blades, with playful expressions.

The professional legion really didn't give them a chance.

Surrounded very decisively.

There is no escape.

Catalina's expression was equally calm.

She looked at the leading man on the opposite side, lifted her gas mask, revealing her golden hair and beautiful face, and said coldly: "Lieutenant Colonel Burton, why don't you recognize me?"

Although everyone on the other side was wearing gas masks, Catalina knew every high-ranking general of the Lionheart family and knew them by name.

She recognized this elite retainer from her eldest brother's family at a glance.

Hearing this, hundreds of people across the street fell silent.

The lieutenant colonel named Bolton naturally did not dare to answer.

You can get away with it by pretending to be stupid, but if word spreads that retainers are ambushing high-ranking nobles, no one can protect him.

Although the order was given, no one dared to be the first to harm the Lion-hearted "Silver Mist Rose" who never dared to offend!
The situation immediately came to a standstill.

On the cold street, hundreds of black guns were aimed at the two people, and the murderous intention seemed to be real.

In front of me, there is a high probability that this is the dead end of divination.

But even so.

The expressions of the two people were still extremely calm.

At this time, Ji Xun said calmly: "Let me down."

Catalina also knew what he meant and slowly let go.

If they wait any longer, there will be more and more enemies, which will become more and more disadvantageous for the two of them.

If you start now, you may still have a slight advantage.

The only good news is that, as they expected, no top powerhouse has arrived yet.

But the bad news is that this Bolton is level four.

Catalina put Ji Xun down and immediately made a decision, saying, "I'm going to use that magical magic."

Ji Xun knew what she was referring to. She had talked about the mysterious magic technique before in the secret realm, a desperate method of trading souls with the devil.

It will almost kill you if you use it.

Although he knew that the young lady had made up her mind, he smiled and finally said: "If you are captured alive by these people, you may not necessarily die."

Hearing this, Catalina had a look of disdain on her face, raised her slender neck slightly, and said proudly and calmly: "I have been accompanied by flowers all the way through my life, and this will still be the case in the last journey."

As soon as she said these words, an inexplicable domineering air suddenly appeared in her body.

Ji Xun felt inexplicably familiar, as if he saw the figure sitting on the highest seat of the federation in a dream in that ghost building.

She stood at the top of power, looking down at the world with her eyes.

Then for a moment, I heard her murmuring to herself in a domineering voice: "I told you that I am not a caged bird!"

At the end of her life, she seemed to suddenly bloom with a dazzling light.

Like fireworks rising into the sky in the dark night, brilliant and beautiful.

At the last moment of her life, she did not choose to wither and rot, but bloomed into the most gorgeous flower.

Ji Xun's eyes reflected the golden-haired back, and he suddenly grinned, his eyes gradually becoming ferocious and crazy.

The next moment, Catalina's crystal eyes were already filled with coldness, and she shouted softly: "Devil's solution!"

Looking again, the demon's shadow was clearly visible behind her, which was more solid than before in the secret realm.

An indescribable aura instantly swept across the entire cold street.

At the same time, the musical note curse mark emerging on her skin changed from white to brilliant gold.

At this moment, she was like a rose in full bloom, beautiful and enchanting.

Catalina was lifted up by a strange sound wave and slowly floated in the air. Her robes rustled, and her aura became higher and higher.

It was so high that it was as if the will of the devil had descended on this world.

Almost instantly, the half-human, half-fish-tailed demonic figure behind her seemed to come to life, and his slender fingers gently played the harp in his hand.

In an instant, an underworld sound sounded like it came from the underworld.

Katarina's aura had reached an almost ethereal level, as if she was hearing a soft chant: "The Demon God's Forbidden Art, The Thirteen Death Sonatas of Themir."

As soon as this technique was condensed, the expression of the fourth-level Lieutenant Colonel Bolton opposite him changed drastically in an instant!
