Cataclysm King

Chapter 392: Getting rich depends on the spoils of the strong.

"Rune stone? Naturally formed?"

Ji Xun looked at the threaded stone in his hand and couldn't hide his eye-opening look on his brows.

Runes are the symbolic embodiment of the laws of the universe. He had seen "Big Runes" and "Little Runes" on the Augustus Ancestral Tomb on the Rune Highlands before.

But those are mysterious symbols like words.

I didn’t expect there was a real thing?
And holding it in his hand, Ji Xun suddenly felt confident and confident that "I am so strong that it is indescribable."

The originally illusory laws of space were now in his eyes, like flowing river water, which he could reach out and touch.

The most intuitive thing is to look at the attribute panel. The only space skill he knows [Miaoshou Kongkong], the proficiency has skyrocketed from Lv1 to Lv4!

"What a ridiculous increase!"

When Ji Xun saw this, he understood why the white-robed woman's spell was so exaggerated.

Just the increase of this stone can directly increase the power of space spell several times.

Ji Xun has never seen or even heard of a treasure with such an outrageous increase.

And it's not just an increase in combat. This stone has an exaggerated spatial affinity for the holder, which is the auxiliary practice entry that any card master dreams of.

Holding it in his hand, Ji Xun felt that he would understand the laws of space, at least dozens of times more than before!
That is a great help for a pig to understand the mysteries of space.

The Tongtian Avenue was waving towards him. Ji Xun's eyes were squinting with a smile. He looked more and more satisfied and thought to himself: "This stone is probably a treasure in the Holy Church, right?"

It’s been a long time since I’ve had this feeling of suddenly getting rich after harvesting a treasure.

Especially getting it after a near-death fight is a great feeling.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Xun looked at the entry of [Divinity: Exile of the Lost Mirror Labyrinth] that came with the rune stone, and he had doubts in his heart: "The mirror space is in this stone?"

I had been trapped in it before, so I knew it was an infinite space.

But how can there be such infinite space in this stone?
Moreover, the place where I went last with fifty-three [Forbidden Ruins Stones] was also among the stones?

Furthermore, why was little Ivan’s spatial ability sucked away in the stone?
Ji Xun always felt that something was wrong.

His current understanding of the world cannot explain these problems.

Without thinking much, Ji Xun put the things away.

He started collecting the other loot.

Looking at it, Ji Xun couldn't help but sigh, the space card master's storage ring is really big!
There are tons of goodies in the three storage rings.

Time was running out, Ji Xun didn't intend to take a closer look, and just lost his mind in the oil painting.

I originally wanted to get rid of the corpse, but in the blink of an eye, I saw a bloody card condensed on the half of the corpse.

【Stargazer】

Quality: dark gold

Detailed explanation: The wisdom path 'Block 5-Star Warlock' is the sixth-level professional bloody card; after integrating with space materials, you can obtain the finished card; the fusion can obtain space laws and a substantial increase in wisdom;
"what?"

Ji Xun looked at him and let out a sigh.

The people of the Holy See are almost all pure-blooded dragons, and the professional cards they integrate are of very good quality.

It is also normal for bloody cards to explode after death.

He is already at level six, and there is no need for him to have this professional card.

Ji Xun was surprised that it was the first time he saw a career card in the sequence of [Starry Sky Warlock].

In Donghuang, he had only seen the name of this sequence in the classics. But I have never seen a card master really promoted to this level.

Looking at it now, it turns out that he studies space and stars?
"Stargazer. In other words, this sequence is for observing stars?"

Ji Xun looked at the bloody card and showed a hint of thought.

You must know that there are no stars, sun, or moon in the cave world.

But judging from the current situation, there are records in some ancient books and relics, and these concepts have always existed.

The names of professional cards will not be randomly chosen.

In other words, there was once a sun, moon and stars in this world in some ancient era?

Or is there a wider world outside the cave?
Previously, the woman in white robe only showed the ability of "space law" in battle, and the ability related to "astrology" was completely gone.

Maybe there is no star reference?
Why is it missing?

When Ji Xun saw this stargazing sequence, he suddenly felt that the world had become even more mysterious.

He thought of the legend that Emperor Lanlingster once went to the cracks of the abyss to find the ultimate answer to the world.
Ji Xun didn't dare to stay where the battle was.

He quickly packed up the things on the two corpses, then dealt with the traces of the battle, and then led Ivan to run away.

Although they were lucky enough to kill the two powerful enemies in the Southern Continent, it seemed that there were people from both the Bai family and the Holy See looking for them.

The crisis is far from over.

Ji Xun had the most detailed map of the Eastern Wasteland in his mind. Not long after running, he quickly determined that their location was in the "Blood Moss Wasteland".

The two guys before were good at choosing places and ran into this endless wilderness that was almost no man's land.

This made it easier for the two of them to escape.

Ji Xun also continued to run deeper into the no-man's land. This place was so deserted that walking in the air would not even leave a trace. Occasionally, he would use Ivan's power to move through the void, and even the smell would be cut off.

In this way, if the pursuers want to find him, the possibility of finding him will be infinitely reduced.

Along the way, Ji Xun also checked the loot in the storage rings he had harvested before, and got rid of some things that might be tracked.

It has to be said that most of the resources in the extraordinary world are concentrated in the hands of top experts.

The two guys from the Holy See also have good things in their storage rings.

They probably traveled a long way to capture Ivan, and they brought a lot of supplies with them.

Spell cards, food, practice resources, potions, equipment, and some classics.

One of these two people is at the sixth level and the other is at the seventh level. It just so happens that the items they carry can be used by Ji Xun now.

The spell card is temporarily unavailable.

Ji Xun was not proficient in either the thunder system or the space system.

But potions and the like are good things.

Many of them are high-end goods that cannot be refined in Donghuang.

It is also a unique output of the southern continent.

For example, [Crazy Dragon Potion] is a violent potion that can greatly restore mana and physical strength in a short period of time.

For human card masters, the effect will be exaggerated.

What else are there [Thunder Spirit Fruit], [Thunder Demonic Bear’s Claw], [Void Mantis Demonic Core].
Waiting for a bunch of advanced materials.

But what Ji Xun cares most about are the classics in their storage rings.

Both of them are clergymen of the Holy See. Everything they need is provided by the Holy See, so they won't carry all their belongings with them like San people.

There are not many classics in the storage ring.

But the quantity is small, but the quality is extremely high.

The ones they carry with them are naturally what they need to read and learn at all times.

Each copy is a rare item that is hard to find anywhere else.

"The Mysteries of Mogore Ancient Dragon Fighting", "The Mystery of Thunder and Lightning", "The Secret Method of Rapid Positioning of Eggers' Void Coordinates", "The Secret Ritual Manual of the Holy See", "The Refining and Application of Dragonborn Bloodline".
Books after books came into Ji Xun's eyes.

Just from the name, you can tell that the content is extraordinary.

There are very few books related to the thunder system and space system, and they are extremely difficult to find on the market.

This time I got twenty or thirty copies.

It not only covers martial arts, spells, and understanding of laws, but also unique methods to improve personal strength and some secrets of the Southern Continent.

Especially the "Holy Holy See Secret Ritual Manual" and "Dragonborn Bloodline Refining and Application", the contents of these two books are almost taboo to people outside the Holy Holy See.

Only senior clergy can touch it.

Ji Xun looked through it and realized that the woman in white robe was actually a "big deacon".

The research value of these classics is very high, and he plans to read and digest them slowly later.

What Ji Xun is more concerned about right now is those things that can directly improve combat effectiveness.

Especially spatial ability.

He was almost killed by that woman dozens of times before. For Ji Xun, with this kind of ability, if he could find the relevant spell books, it would be a big profit.

However, space spell books are probably extremely confidential within the Holy See.

I found several classics on space theory.

But there is nothing related to spells.

Ji Xun did see a few boxes that seemed to contain classics, but they had permission certifications on them, and only the woman could open them.

He didn't dare to keep such a thing on his body, so he randomly found a place in the wilderness and sealed it up.

Let’s see if we can come back to it after the limelight has passed.

Originally, Ji Xun felt that his expectations were going to be disappointed.

But fortunately, he found a diary.

The woman in the white robe is an outstanding graduate of the Royal Academy of the Airel Empire.

Unlike Yeluzi card masters, this kind of card masters who have been systematically trained have some very good learning habits.

For example, write a "practice diary."

Ji Xun looked through his practice diary, which contained dense records of the white-robed woman's own practice experiences.

Reading between the lines, the sixth level is the threshold that has just touched the laws of space.

The diary clearly records various problems, thoughts and solutions encountered in understanding the laws of space.

Ji Xun also has similar habits.

So when looking at the diary, it feels like I am pretending to be the person who wrote the diary, trying to figure out from the sentences the woman's psychological activities when she wrote these contents.

That woman has recently been studying a spell called [Space Folding Mirror].

This is a secret method that is both offensive and defensive. Looking at the description, one of its abilities is spatial displacement.

Although the diary did not record the complete method of cultivating spells, Ji Xun's deduction ability allowed him to analyze many useful things from the details.

Looking at it, I felt fascinated.

In an unknown cave, a large piece of golden and oily barbecue was roasting on a bonfire.

Xiao Yi on the side stared at the barbecue with her big watery eyes, and the firelight reflected the clear crystal water mark at the corner of her mouth.

Ji Xun was shaking the barbecue grill with one hand and holding the "Practice Diary" in the other hand, looking at it carefully.

While watching, he murmured to himself: "In other words, in order to achieve spatial displacement, it is necessary to quickly calculate accurate spatial coordinates. The farther the distance, the greater the calculation amount. Once an error is made, it will appear at the wrong location, or at worst. Will he be thrown into the turbulence of the void and unable to come back?"

Space spells are powerful but also risky.

Ji Xun seemed to understand something, his face brightened.

This diary was recorded very neatly and had clear ideas, allowing him to truly understand what "space spell" was for the first time.

If it were a normal situation, no matter how talented Ji Xun was, it would be impossible to deduce the complete spell from the practice log. However, he has the space treasure [Original Rune Stone·Space] in his hand.

His super high spatial affinity and law blessing allow him to easily understand the abstract concepts expressed in the diary.

It's like having a stove at hand and someone describes the abstract concept of "warmth" to you. Even if you don't understand it, you can feel it clearly at once.

But even with this treasure, it is still a very difficult process to learn a complete spell from fragmented diaries.

Ji Xun, however, enjoyed this process endlessly.

to him,

Like a puzzle game.

From some fragmentary clues, he was given a huge challenge.

With the Rune Stone by his side, he felt that sooner or later he would realize something real.

As he was watching, Ivan muttered: "Mr. Ji Xun, is the meat roasted yet? Ivan's stomach is growling with hunger."

"All right."

Ji Xun was reminded by this and focused his eyes on the barbecue. Only then did he realize that he was so absorbed in thinking that he completely forgot about it.

"Wow, then I'll start~"

As soon as he finished speaking, he watched this girl jump onto the barbecue grill excitedly.

Not caring that his body was covered in hot grease, he started to feast on the food.

Ji Xun looked at this little loli with a soft smile in his eyes.

This time it was also thanks to Ivan, otherwise he might not have survived.

While looking at this little lolita, Ji Xun thought of something. When he turned his hand, a crystal core appeared in his palm.

This [Pure Space Crystal] was made from this girl's tears. Whether it is used to absorb auxiliary law understanding or to make card scrolls, it is a top-quality material.

Unfortunately, even if I asked before, Ivan himself didn’t know what was going on.

Her current wisdom cannot explain the magical ability she possesses, it is more like an innate talent like breathing.

Moreover, the seal on her eyes seems to be really controlled by her emotions, and will only be released when encountering certain circumstances.

Ji Xun gave up.

But after this battle, he understood Ivan's abilities, and he would be more confident next time he encounters danger.

This "ability to stare anyone to death" will confuse everyone who comes.

Oh, I almost forgot, I also gained a treasure from this battle.

The sacred object [Moon] of the Silver Moon Sect is still in this girl's belly at this moment.

The purpose of grabbing things before was to force the Bai family and the Silver Moon Sect to join the war. I didn't think I could leave the Thieves City with this thing.

I got it without thinking.

It just so happened that this moon was also an exclusive relic that assisted the improvement of mental power. Now that he had obtained it, he had no intention of returning it.

However, Ji Xun didn't dare to take out that kind of thing now. He would just wait until he goes to the Old Continent before thinking about it.

Thoughts flashed in his mind. Looking at Ivan who was enjoying eating meat, Ji Xun smiled and moved his eyes back to the diary.

But when he suddenly saw something, he frowned.

Not what's on the note, but my own fingers.

At this moment, the fingers he used to turn the book were not pinching the corners of the paper with his thumb and index finger like usual, but pinching and turning the pages with his thumb and middle finger like orchids.

Looking at this posture, a sense of femininity comes to my face.

Very strange.

But almost instinctive.

"."

Ji Xun stared at his hand for several seconds, his eyes becoming more and more solemn.

This unconscious behavior made him feel the crisis, and he muttered in his heart: "Have the gloves begun to pollute the soul?"

Ji Xun knew that this was the sequelae caused by the excessive use of [Black Demon] before.

Although this pollution seems to have no impact, the hidden dangers are not small.

He knew before on the Netherworld Train that this [Black Demon] was actually part of the relic of Emperor Lanlingst [The Resentment of Lanlingst Witch Skirt].

If Ji Xun understood correctly, it was the gloves of the great emperor's female costume.

Now it seems that the effect of pollution is effeminate?

In the end?

Will she become a witch?

Although the Black Magic Glove is powerful, it seems that in order to use that power, it must accept some new things.

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly. It felt bad to be controlled by a relic.

He took out the knife without hesitation and stabbed the back of his hand, causing blood to flow.

The sting made his memory remember the hidden danger more clearly.

Ji Xun didn't look at his wounds and continued to read the diary, silently saying in his heart: "It seems that I have to use it less until I have completely tamed this relic."

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Ji Xun was hiding in no man's land.

Although there are many dangerous places in Donghuang, with his current strength, he can go almost anywhere.

The food reserves have been exhausted, so every day I just hunt, feed Ivan, and then find a place to read and digest the trophies.

The days passed very leisurely.

But he didn't know that after the battle in Thieves City, Donghuang had become a mess.

Three of the five-member team from the Holy See of the Southern Continent died in the battle in the Thieves City. This news seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest, and soldiers from the entire Southern Continent of the Eastern Wasteland frantically attacked major cities.

The fighting suddenly became extremely fierce.

Ordinary people don't know what's going on, but the top executives of Donghuang and the Southern Continent know that the center of the storm is still the other two people who escaped.

Major cities in the Eastern Wasteland are filled with sky-high price bounty orders.

Although they didn't know what the senior officials were looking for, there was a huge bounty on their head and various mysterious forces emerged one after another. The bounty hunters were looking for those two guys everywhere like crazy.

Not only the major cities in the Eastern Wasteland, but also the heavily guarded Innocence City in the Southern Continent, and the Nugget Pier in the Old Continent had several fierce battles.

It seems that a top card master of unknown origin wanted to sneak into the Eastern Wasteland, and then had a conflict with people from the Southern Continent.

There are overt and covert struggles among intelligence agents everywhere.

On the other hand, Ji Xun, the victim, was not affected at all.

Even the storm that swept through the entire Eastern Wasteland did not affect him at all.

Half a month had passed and no one came to the door, so he knew that the method he arranged had worked.

Trying to find them in this wilderness is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I haven't found it for half a month, and it won't be possible later.

Of course, there is another hypothesis, that is, some mysterious means that are beyond our control.

However, Ji Xun never worries about situations beyond his ability.

Everything that could be done was done.

He is now focused on studying the secrets of space.

After seeing Ivan's ability, Ji Xun realized that people in the southern continent would never give up.

Now is not the time to show your head.

What he wants to wait for is for the people who rebelled against the Dragon Army to come to him.

There must have been such a big commotion, people over there knew about it.

On this day, a certain mountain stream.

This elephant, usually sitting on a mountain, was soaring in the mountain stream an hour ago. Now it is a sizzling barbecue on the campfire.

Little Ivan squatted next to the fire, drooling and looking at his rations greedily.

The expression was as if one glance would make the roasted meat fly away.

Ji Xun still meditates and practices as usual every day.

At this time, he put down the "Practice Diary" that he had read many times.

With a flick of his finger in the void, a dark space crack appeared.

But it didn't last long before the cracks disappeared.

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and murmured: "It's still almost interesting."

His tone seemed a little dissatisfied with his progress.

But if others knew that he could tear apart space in just half a month, this would definitely shock everyone's jaws.

However, Ji Xun's expression was calm and it was completely expected.

With JOKER's blessing of super high understanding and rune stone, it would be strange if you can't understand it.

But after all, there is no complete spell in the "Practice Diary". It is difficult to achieve the level of spatial displacement by just groping by yourself.

The only good news is that the exclusive magical secret method "Utopia Universe" of the painter sequence, which has been elusive before, is now available.

However, this secret method is more about macro things, such as the structure of the world. It is too big and cannot be digested for a while.

"Thanks to the treasure of Rune Stone, otherwise I might not be able to get started in ten or eight years."

Ji Xun also felt that he still had too much to learn.

Just as he was muttering, his eyes suddenly sharpened and he looked at the fog not far away, as if he noticed something.

Someone is coming!
In this wilderness where no one has been for countless years, no one would come by such a coincidence.

I happened to find this mountain stream.

Before Ji Xun could take action, a hearty voice sounded: "Hey, brother Ji Xun, you actually discovered me?"

Being targeted by the popularity machine, the people in the mist were obviously surprised.

When Ji Xun heard this voice, the alertness on his face disappeared. He stood up and said hello: "How did you find him?"

At this time, a handsome blond man came out of the mist.

It was Aragorn whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.

Aragorn smiled and explained: "The leader left space coordinates on Ivan."

"Oh?"

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows, not surprised by this statement.

He was originally waiting for the Rebel Dragon Army, but now that he is here, he can really feel at ease.

Compared with Ji Xun's little accident, Aragorn looked at Ivan who was safe and sound by the bonfire with a very emotional expression and said: "It's you. Brother Ji Xun, you really surprised me."
