Cataclysm King

Chapter 234 An assassination, Ji Xun hasn’t played a low-end game for a long time
"Song Yu?"

Ji Xun listened to this name, then looked at the girl in the princess dress, his eyes narrowed slightly with a chuckle: "It turns out that she is really the daughter of the Song family."

He didn't think this was a coincidence.

If nothing else, this is my pen pal’s Miss “Ayu”.

I was teleported here by the void in Hong Tower because of the stamp with the catastrophic object on it.

The boss behind Hong Lou is the Song family of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.

They are both from the Federation Chamber of Commerce, and their surname is Song, so they are most likely from the same company.

Ji Xun just didn't know why he was teleported to the remote Bolton Machinery Town in the western part of the federation.

Now that he saw this person, he already understood the reason.

"Ha ha."

Ji Xun chuckled lightly and said to himself in a subtle voice: "But is this noble lady so extravagant and willful? Even if she really wants to meet, it would be nice to send someone to notify her. It's worth using catastrophic objects ."

Not everyone can use cataclysmic objects.

You can tell with your toes that if you want to teleport someone, the price must be very high.

However, as soon as Ji Xun's idea came to him, he felt that something was not right.

The timeline span of those letters is also a bit long.
This doesn't seem to be a simple transfer.

Before he could figure anything out, the little turtle dove on the side said, "Sir, it's our turn!"

Ji Xun and Little Turtle Dove each received a bowl of hot broth and a piece of bread the size of an arm.

Like other refugees, the two found a corner to squat and eat.

Everyone has a satisfied smile on their face to be able to drink hot broth on this cold rainy day.

Although the little turtle dove is only five or six years old, he has a sad skill.He had adapted well to the life of a refugee. He broke the hard black bread into several pieces, carefully hid them in the lining of his clothes, and only nibbled on a small piece in his hand.

But in this moment, he turned around and saw that Ji Xun had stuffed most of the black bread into his mouth.

The little turtle dove exclaimed: "Ah, sir, why did you just finish eating?"

Ji Xun turned his head and glanced at him: "Huh???"

The little turtledove talked about the common sense that refugees must know, and said: "Although I know you must be very hungry, it will be at least three days before the next distribution. If you finish eating today, you will starve later. And I My father said that people who are too hungry cannot eat too much at one time, otherwise it will cause harm to the body."

"Your father is a very professional doctor."

Ji Xun listened and responded.

But Xiaoxiao didn't take it seriously and said: "It's okay, I will go find food later."

His body now desperately needs some energy recovery.

The recovery effect of the Immortality Curse and the like was not very good, but the [Giant Food] of the Dragonborn bloodline was still very effective, and the fast-digested food finally gave the body some strength.

When the little turtledove heard this, he glanced at Ji Xun, who didn't even have any clothes, and said with a sad face, "But it's hard to buy food without money."

"Yeah. I can think of a way after all."

Ji Xun also found it quite interesting.

I have been hungry for the first time in this world for so long.

However, he is a third-level card master.

Once you recover a little, you won't be bothered by food anymore.

Just as he stuffed the last piece of black bread into his mouth, his eyes suddenly flashed, "Hey, is it Old Man Xu?"

At that moment, he vaguely saw an old man in tattered clothes among the people queuing up to receive bread.

Those wretched and open-faced front teeth probably did not admit their mistakes.

"How did he come here?"

Ji Xun thought about the last time they saw each other in Xia Mucheng's underground palace. The old man destroyed the Bai family's descendant ancestor with a single blow of his thunder spell.

It also made him confirm that this old man was a real master.

but
Isn’t it in the Old Continent? Why did it come to the western part of the Federation?
Just as he was about to go up and say hello, the crowd suddenly surged, and in the blink of an eye no one was seen.

At this time, before looking for anyone, Ji Xun frowned suddenly and turned to look to the other side: "Are you murderous? What are these guys going to do?"

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see a few suspicious-looking guys among the refugees.

Although they are dressed like refugees.

But the disguise, which was not very clever, was no secret in Ji Xun's eyes.

That malicious aura was out of place among a group of grateful refugees.

Ordinary people don't have storage rings, not even many card master apprentices.

These people had bulges under their clothes, which looked like they were hiding weapons.

However, even if Ji Xun discovered such a crappy assassin, he didn't take it seriously.

He just followed the wandering gazes of a few people and looked over. Seeing that these people seemed to be staring at Song Yu who was walking down from the Machinery City, he frowned slightly: "Are you going for that Miss Song family?"

Robber, or some kind of enemy?
Ji Xun thought for a moment and walked over quietly.

After careful observation, there were a dozen people with malicious intentions hidden among the refugees.

"Is there a premeditated assassination?"

Ji Xun looked at this posture and knew that these were minions, and there should be someone behind the scenes.

But now that he's here, there's no way he can let his mysterious pen pal whom he just met be assassinated by a group of unscrupulous assassins.

After observing carefully for a moment, I didn't detect any particularly high-level existence.

Ji Xun no longer felt threatened at all.

It’s normal to think about a remote town like Bolton Machinery Town.

Not everywhere is as mixed as the Innocence City.

Unknowingly, Ji Xun walked to the factory recruitment bulletin board.

There were also two guys hiding here who had already put their hands deep into their clothes, and it looked like they had guns hidden in their arms.

Ji Xun only glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and didn't look any further.

There is no need to take this kind of crappy killer seriously.

Instead, he looked at the recruitment notice on the notice.

Just now he just thought he heard it wrong. When he saw the recruitment salary written on the notice, he muttered in his heart: "The salary is really low enough."

He also didn't understand why the wages in this place were so much lower than those in Innocence City.

At this time, Song Yu, who was wearing a princess dress, walked to the signboard and said to everyone: "If you want to work, our Rose Chamber of Commerce has set up a new machinery factory, textile factory and alchemy factory in Bolton Town. Factory. Three meals a day will be included when you join the company. We currently need about 2000 people. We will expand the production line in the future and continue to recruit workers. You can come and take a look."

The girl's appearance and tone were obviously a bit immature.

But that sincerity is easily contagious.

The refugees applauded this statement.

"Oh my God, is it true? Is there really a factory that can accommodate thousands of people?"

"Oh, I've never heard of factory wages being so high. If I could earn 200 yuan a month, I could support the few young men in my family by myself."

"Praise to the kind and beautiful Miss Song. You saved us and gave us hope in life."

"."

The refugees saluted with gratitude.

However, at this time of harmony, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.

A gunshot suddenly broke this beauty.

A guy in the crowd suddenly got angry, took out his pistol and fired two shots at Song Yu on the high platform.

Unfortunately, my marksmanship was too poor and I missed the target.

These were war refugees and were particularly sensitive to the sound of gunshots. Almost the moment the gunshots were fired, everyone was in a panic.

Ji Xun among the crowd was very calm.

In fact, he had already noticed the signs of the killer's sudden appearance, but he ignored them.

The ballistic trajectory of firearms is easy to predict. From Ji Xun's current perspective, from the moment the gunman pulled the trigger, he had actually predicted that those guys would miss.

What's more, Miss Song Yu also has guards around her.

With the sound of a gunshot, the expressions of the guards around Song Yu also changed drastically: "Protect Miss!"

Seven or eight guards guarded Song Yu.

The first gunshot announced the beginning of the assassination.

The dozen killers also took action, with various firearms spitting out tongues of fire.

The two sides immediately exchanged fire fiercely.

At almost the same time, the guard captain of the Rose Chamber of Commerce standing on the wall of Mechanical City shouted loudly: "Miss is being attacked! Go and protect Miss!"

"Yes!"

A group of guards just responded.

Unexpectedly, a fat woman screamed in horror at this time: "Captain Rocky, you guys, don't go down!"

The captain named Loki looked astonished and said anxiously: "But Mrs. Mera, the lady has encountered an assassin!"

The obese woman had never encountered such a scene before, and her face turned pale with fear: "If you go, who will protect me? Besides, those assassins may be coming for me, you have to ensure my safety!"

"This"

Loki looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything.

He is a full-time bodyguard of the Song family, and he was here to protect Mrs. Meila this time.

After saying that, the fat woman looked at the bodies lying in a pool of blood and screamed: "Why don't you protect me back to the apartment!"

All the guards could only say: "Yes!"

As the fat woman ran, she said scaredly: "Oh my god, it's so scary. I heard there were thugs among the refugees before, but I didn't expect to encounter them. If I had known better, I wouldn't have come to this remote place. I told that girl Ayu Don't go, don't go and hang out with those poor people, but you have to go, it's great if something happens now."

Ji Xun originally wanted to watch the battle, but after watching it for a moment, he suddenly frowned.

"Aren't there any expert guards?"

He also felt very surprised. With the strength of the Song family of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, the security team would not be so shabby.

Is the guard team captain with the Chinese character face next to Song Yu a second-level person?
There are only two official card masters among the remaining six or seven, and the rest are card disciples.

A group of guards wanted to escort their young lady back to Mechanical City for refuge, but the assassins had already planned and had already deployed people to block the way back to Mechanical City.

The group of people could only find bunkers along the way in the town, fighting and retreating.

Although he was protected by the second-level guard team leader, Song Yu was not in danger for the time being.

But after all, the numerical advantage gap between the two sides is huge.

Almost immediately after the exchange of fire, two more guards were killed.

Seeing that Song Yu was about to be in danger from the random shooting.

When Ji Xun saw this, his mouth tightened.

It's not that I find this scene stressful, but it's strange. I always feel that what I see is a bit unreal: How could the Guards be so weak?
But thinking back, the crisis is real.

Those killers seemed to have already planned the guard force around Song Yu. In addition to a dozen gunmen, there were also masters.

At this moment, the sound of steam bursting suddenly came from my ears.

From a nearby room, a one-eyed man wearing a heavy mechanical arm suddenly appeared.

With a "pop", the steam in the high-pressure spray can deflated, and a huge mechanical flying claw, like a battering ram, hit the stone wall of the bunker where the Song family and the others were hiding with a "pop".

Although this mechanical flying claw looks a bit crude, its power is truly exaggerated.

The stone was exploded by the contact of the mechanical flying claws into debris and dust flying all over the sky.

The spray was everywhere like raindrops.

The Song family's group was instantly exposed to the air.

In the blink of an eye, he was hit by more than a dozen muzzles.

The situation is very critical.

At this time, someone also recognized the identities of these killers.

"Then that guy is "Iron Arm" Kutun!He is a robber with a federal bounty of over 30! "

"No, they are from the 'Steam Hammer Bandits'!"

"Damn, how did these bandits sneak into the town?"

"."

Ji Xun's eyes twitched inexplicably when he heard the one million bounty.

I'm used to hearing about bounties of hundreds of millions and hundreds of millions, but I still feel that these hundreds of thousands of bounties are for low-level wanted criminals.

How can he be called a "big robber"?

But when I thought about it, I saw that several of the Song family's guards had been killed and injured.

Although the Mechanical City is buzzing as if there are guards about to rush out, there is a high probability that they will not be able to wait.

Ji Xun's eyes turned slightly cold when he thought of this.

But his current weak body can barely walk, but fighting head-on is not an option.

Just then, the killer next to him who had just been rushed by the crowd squeezed over again, took out his gun, and was ready to join in the assassination.

This crappy killer was so nervous that he didn't even see anyone watching the fight next to him.

Ji Xun saw that he had just taken out the gun and grabbed it. He held the guy's pistol with an indifferent expression, turned around and fired four shots in a row.

It just so happened that he was in this position behind a group of killers.

Four precise shots blasted the heads of four killers.

Before the bandit who had his gun taken away could realize what was happening, Ji Xun shot him backhand and turned him into a corpse without even taking a second look.

The bullet capacity was eleven, and Ji Xun fired eleven shots in almost three breaths.

Although he rarely uses a gun now.

But his spear skills are already perfect.Facing these enemies who only had the strength of Katu, eleven bandits died suddenly on the spot.

With his intervention, the assassinating party's firepower was instantly reduced by half.

This turn of events also surprised everyone in the Song family.

The young lady from the Song family, who was so frightened that her face turned pale, had an inexplicable feeling. She turned her head and saw Ji Xun who was shooting.

Ji Xun chose the position so that he could observe her, and the two happened to be looking at each other.

At that moment, Song Yu looked at the man who fired the gun very calmly, and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

And the weird thing is that the heartbeat that was pounding just now seemed to be soothed and surprisingly calmed down.

Ji Xun met this mysterious pen pal for the first time, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

It’s also considered a greeting.

He withdrew his gaze before he could look further.

Because just when he was changing the magazine, he suddenly discovered a strange thing.

That is, several of the bandits who were shot by the guards before stood up and continued fighting as if nothing happened?
Being shot in a human body is not like what you see in dramas, but it is still alive and kicking.

The truth is that if an ordinary person is shot, he will almost immediately lose the ability to fight.

Although those guys were not shot in the head like the dozen unlucky guys killed by Ji Xun, there were obvious marks of being shot on their bodies, and one guy was even punched through the abdomen.

Can you still fight?
"Is it the devil's mark or the ability of the professional card?"

Ji Xun felt strange.

After careful observation, an even more surprising scene occurred.

He actually watched the wounds on those guys heal?

Moreover, after those people were injured, there were obvious signs of transformation. Their skin became pale and their appearance became ferocious and terrifying.

The most eye-catching thing is a pair of sharp fangs.

"vampire?"

Ji Xun was a werewolf himself, and he immediately understood something when he saw this change.

But this is the animal transformation ability brought by the professional card.

How can these card master apprentices transform?

He had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with this "Steam Hammer Bandit Group".

But before he could figure it out, a dangerous aura suddenly emerged from the refugees.

Ji Xun keenly caught the energy and thought: "There are still masters!"

Obviously, this first wave of assassins failed to kill the Song family as planned.

The master hiding in the dark appeared.

"Whoosh!"

The figure rushed towards the Song family members despite the hail of bullets, and the magical flames emerging from his body stood out from the crowd.

The guard captain with a Chinese character face next to Song Yu also changed his expression: "Miss, be careful!"

Why didn't he see that the guy rushing towards him was a second-level card master?
Not daring to hesitate at all, he hit him with the small buckler in his hand.

He knew very well that only he could stop this assassin.

But it was precisely because the guard with the Chinese character's face took action that the guards around Song Yu were in a gap.

Seeing that the assassins were about to succeed, they suddenly heard another series of rapid and steady gunshots "pop, pop, pop".

Several bullets hit the earthen wall next to Song Yu, splashing mud and powder, but none of them hit her.

The assassin who fired the shot died suddenly on the spot.

In panic, Song Yu thought of something, and looked over again with his trembling crystal eyes, and sure enough he saw the figure holding a gun and calmly pulling the trigger.

At this moment, the scene seemed to be slowed down.

Song Yu watched as the gun in the hand of the man, who was naked and covered in mud, spurted out tongues of fire.

Every time the trigger is pulled, a red, white, and bloody mass will explode.

No matter where the enemy is hiding, in corners, behind windows, or in gaps behind doors, they can hit accurately.

Those clear pupils reflected this bloody and outrageous scene.

Song Yu's mind was already spinning at this moment.

Everyone is obviously very nervous, but why does that guy look lazy and not very interested?

It's not that Ji Xun doesn't want to be serious, but he's used to playing high-end games, and he really has no interest in fighting at this level.

For example, employees who are rushing to work should solve the problem as soon as possible and don't work overtime.

Enemies that can be dispatched by pulling the trigger really don't give him any idea of ​​taking a second look.

The only bit of interest is the state of transformation of these guys.

"Can you only kill it completely by hitting the head?"

Ji Xun changed two magazines and almost cleared out all the gunmen in sight.

It has to be said that the defense and recovery capabilities of these vampire-like guys are much stronger than those of ordinary card master apprentices.

If he hadn't been shot in the eye, he might not have been killed.

Normally, if Ji Xun's "accident" hadn't appeared, these bandits might have been able to assassinate Song Yu.

Pity.

The guard with the Chinese character over there was fighting with the second-level assassin, and Ji Xun also used firearms to suppress the thief leader "Iron Arm" Kutun with a mechanical arm.

But after all, it was just an ordinary firearm. Facing this semi-armored mechanical warrior with all its vital points covered in heavy armor, it seemed a little helpless.

Ji Xun could only aim at the joints and some exposed pipes of the mecha to temporarily delay the iron lump's offensive.

But after repeated beatings, several of the guards around Song Yu were seriously injured.

Ji Xun could only fight and lean in.

After being exposed to the public eye, the remaining bandits thought he was a guard of the Song family and secretly aimed their guns at him.

Ji Xun continued walking leisurely.

Bullets were no threat to him.

Occasionally, he would feel something like being pricked by a needle, so he would shoot in that direction and accurately hit an assassin in the head.

As he walked along, he also discovered that after he had mastered the introductory skills of "qi", he had become somewhat familiar with the ability to use qi to sense the opponent's murderous intentions.

Whenever an enemy targets him with murderous intent, Ji Xun will feel it as if a needle pricks his forehead.

This feeling gradually became clearer.

While walking, Ji Xun said to himself: "Tsk, tsk. It's really good."

Now these bandits can still bring him a little sense of crisis, which is really not easy.

Ji Xun just walked towards Song Yu in no hurry.

At the same time, he also attracted a lot of firepower by himself.

When the "Iron Arm" Kutun saw that he was being mishandled, he suddenly turned his mechanical arm and launched a steam engine flying claw towards him.

Almost at the same time, two voices sounded: "Be careful!"

One is Song Yu a few meters away.

There is also a "little turtle dove" hiding in the far corner.

Ji Xun didn't even glance at the bald head as he listened, but glanced at the other two places.

Being able to stay in this state without being frightened and still able to keenly observe the crisis and shout it out, this "little turtle dove" has a pretty good talent.

At least in the words of Senior Gong, this boy already possesses the most rare quality for a warrior - courage!
As for Miss Song, Ji Xun smiled at her and said silently: Thank you.

Then he tilted his head, and a huge mechanical arm flew past his scalp.

This scene seemed extremely thrilling to others, but Ji Xun had no trouble in his heart.

The mechanical device is too clumsy, and even if he is currently weak, it is too easy to predict.

This kind of thing posed no threat to him from beginning to end.

Instead, the mechanical flying claws ejected, exposing flaws in the already imprecise mecha.

Ji Xun fired two shots with his backhand, snapping the hydraulic transmission tube of the mechanical arm.

"Zizzi"

White high-temperature steam explodes and spurts.

The bald mechanical armor shut down in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Ji Xun didn't forget to complain: "The porters in Innocence City no longer use such backward mechas."

Looking at Ji Xun who suddenly came out, everyone, whether it was the Rose Chamber of Commerce, refugees or other forces, were extremely shocked.

In a very short period of time, this "stranger" almost turned the situation around with one shot and one shot.

The situation was under control, and the guard captain with the Chinese character who was fighting with the second-level assassin breathed a sigh of relief. Only then could he free up his hands to concentrate on dealing with the assassin.

Although the assassin transformed into a vampire and could withstand beatings, he was an elite trained by the Song family after all, and he suppressed his opponents in a short period of time.

It seems that the battle will be over soon.

"Where did this sharpshooter come from?"

"Oh, the Rose Chamber of Commerce actually hid such a master among the refugees. No wonder that young lady dares to come out so often."

"Miss Song, just be fine."

"These damn bandits are really abominable. It's not easy because of Miss Song and refugees like us, we can have food and jobs. But here they come again to cause destruction. Have a good death!"

"Yes, a good death!"

"."

The refugees and the residents of Bolton Mechanical Town watched the situation being brought under control, and no one dared to show their heads, pointing indignantly.

After coming back to their senses, everyone was filled with emotion when they looked at the corpses with their heads shot on the ground.

The "strange sharpshooter" almost always shot to the head with one shot.

Even if there is a second shot, it is a tactical move that creates opportunities for headshots.

This marksmanship can already be regarded as a firearms master.

Everyone also cast shocked and admiring glances at Ji Xun.

Although the bald thief leader "Iron Arm" Kutun was not dead, he was trapped in the iron mass and unable to move due to the damage to his mecha.

Ji Xun was not interested in paying attention.

He observed the crowd around him out of the corner of his eye.

The killer has appeared, but the mastermind behind it has not yet shown his face.

His intuition told him that maybe the person who bought the murder was at the scene.

Maybe there is a backup plan.

I have to say that there are benefits to "traveling" with my bare butt this time.

Without the confidence given by the many treasures on his body, Ji Xun could only rely on his own body to deal with the crisis.

The state of being "naked" in a crisis gave him a clear sense of consciousness that he had never experienced before.

sound, sight, taste, touch
It was as if thousands of pores in the body were sensing the invisible strands of Qi along with the breathing.

Ji Xun put all his strength into his perception, carefully recalling the feeling of capturing the crisis before.

At this time, he really noticed an invisible "malicious energy".

With a glance out of the corner of his eye, Ji Xun looked at a small window on the Mechanical Castle and murmured in his heart: "Is the mastermind behind the murder someone from the Mechanical City?"

The distance is too far and the exact location is uncertain.

He didn't do anything to alert the snake.

After all, the identity of someone who can hire a second-level killer may not be simple.

Shooting at the Mechanical City rashly might alert the enemy.

Seeing that an assassination farce was about to end, Ji Xun suddenly sensed something: "There are still people!"

The Qi machine was in the crowd, and it was too late to shoot.

He didn't care about anything else and threw himself forward, blocking Song Yu.

Almost instantly, a black flying needle stabbed his forearm like a stream of light.

Ji Xun had long since captured the source of the crisis, which was this first-level relic - [Amick's Venomous Bee Flying Needle].

But the current state of the body is unable to block it at all, and one can only force the arm to change its flight path.

But even if the spell power has not been restored, most of the muscles have disappeared, and his current flesh and bones cannot be pierced by ordinary weapons.

This relic flying needle only poked a shallow bloody hole in the arm.

Ji Xun rolled his eyes, not wanting to reveal the specialness of his body, so he jumped down, blocking the wounds and flying needles.

However, this move had exhausted all the energy he had just eaten from eating the piece of brown bread.

I almost fell down and couldn't stand up.

Fortunately, the guy who was hiding in the crowd and killing people with flying needles didn't dare to be exposed. He couldn't make a sneak attack and was already hiding.

Ji Xun was indeed very weak, and he didn't want to stand up, so he simply lay down where he was.

This made it seem to outsiders that he was seriously injured just by looking at his state.

Including that Miss Song family.

Two meters away, Song Yu watched Ji Xun fall to the ground.She knew that the stranger was injured because he was trying to save her, and without caring about her own safety, she popped his head out from behind the low wall and asked timidly and eagerly: "Sir, are you okay?"

Ji Xun looked at the pretty face that couldn't hide the panic but also showed concern. He thought it was nothing serious, but he turned his eyes and responded: "Yes. Something happened. It's quite serious."

I just felt like I had no food to eat.

Now it's settled.

(End of this chapter)
