Cataclysm King

Chapter 409 Another Generous Settlement Reward
Ji Xun looked at the pile of large white flesh worms in front of him, and the smile on his face became brighter.

The main quest of this "Horror Worm Cave: The Ominous Queen Malgit" space is for adventurers to find the insect nest, send out a signal, and wait for high-level warriors from the Holy Crown City to join in the hunt.

Instead of really asking the adventurers to kill the queen insect.

With this kind of plot setting, either the will of space determines that their team's combat power is completely equal to that of the insect queen, or there is some other hidden plot in the queen insect.

Anyway, I can't kill him.

Now that Ji Xun is facing the final BOSS, he also understands why the will of space feels that the adventurers cannot kill this monster.

Because this ominous queen worm, Margit, has a mental attack power that is unsolvable by card masters below the seventh level!

As soon as he rushed into the hive, Enlightenment swiped the screen frantically: "You are immune to the mind control of the evil queen worm Malgit's 'Divine Art·Mind Link'."

The spiritual power here is no longer an untouchable illusory force, but ripples visible to the naked eye like ocean waves, impacting Ji Xun's soul wave after wave.

It felt like being on a small boat in the midst of strong winds and huge waves, ready to capsize at any moment.

The rank of this insect queen is level seven, and the spell she released is of divine grade, which is not something that the clown mask can be immune to.

Normally, not to mention the sixth-level, even the seventh-level and eighth-level card masters would have to be controlled if they came.

But Ji Xun was safe and sound.

Because what he was holding in his pocket was a relic emitting moonlight.

"Hehe, it really is a mental attack?"

When Ji Xun saw this, he was not surprised. Instead, he felt relieved that "it's settled."

In fact, long before entering the other-dimensional space, Ji Xun had studied the habits of the Zerg in detail from various intelligence.

It turns out that the intelligence of low-level Zerg is very low, and they fight almost entirely on instinct.

This kind of individual is not a big threat.

But they are good at attacking in groups.

However, the queen insect can accurately control hundreds of millions of insect soldiers to fight, which inevitably requires it to have a special and efficient communication method with the insect swarm.

This method must also be spiritual.

Ji Xun didn't understand what the method was, but it was not difficult to guess.

For example, gods and believers communicate through faith.

However, [Malgit, the Evil Queen] is not a god-level monster, but just a seventh-level monster, or a special seventh-level monster.

Therefore, Ji Xun bet that the mental power of this insect hiding deep in the cave must be "particularly outstanding".

The Creator of the Universe is fair.

Especially for organisms, if they have outstanding abilities in one aspect, they must be weak in other aspects.

A monster with a strong body will have weak magic and spirit.
Monsters that are good at mental attacks are usually weak physically.
Even a nearly perfect higher creature like a dragon has a shortcoming in terms of mental strength.

At least Ji Xun has not found any exceptions so far.

So before he saw the monster, he had actually already judged what was going to happen.

The ultimate boss of this copy, which did not appear in the intelligence, must be good at mental attacks and have a weak body.

Therefore, Ji Xun had been prepared long ago and took out the Silver Moon Holy Object, [Moon], which also had very strong spiritual pollution.

Ji Xun has strong mental strength.

But he didn't think he could withstand a monster that the spatial will determined was impossible for adventurers to kill by his own abilities.

So we have to rely on external things.

Ordinary external objects will not work.

Ji Xun estimated that even an eighth-level mental defense card might not be able to resist this level of magic 100%.

Ji Xun doesn’t have that kind of thing either.

Once controlled, death is certain.

So he thought of "fighting poison with poison".

Mental pollution is a bit like the shining sun. Whoever is exposed to the light will feel the heat radiation.

There are countless stars in the universe that are bigger and brighter than the sun, but people only feel the temperature of the sun.

Because the distance is close enough!

This is the principle behind why Ji Xun used the [Moon] to resist the spiritual erosion of the insect.

[The Moon] is the sacred object of the Silver Moon Cult. The moon goddess Arachne has been resurrected. This sacred object gathers the faith and power of countless believers, and is now heavily polluted.

Normally, this pollution is a hot potato for top card masters.

However, Ji Xun was able to ignore the distortion of faith, and he himself practiced the secret art of "Empty Moon Divine Thought", so the moon had no negative impact on him.

The pollution released by the moon itself was like a halo, enveloping its holder, Ji Xun.

So much so that just now, facing the area mental attack of the "Evil Queen Malgit", the pollution of the moon exempted most of the mental shock.

It’s like the starry sky on a summer night, where any star is countless times larger than the moon.

But once the silver moon is in the sky, the other stars are eclipsed.

Although it was not completely blocked, Ji Xun was able to withstand the remaining mental shock.

The moment he met the ultimate BOSS, Ji Xun did not dare to delay at all.

The moment he was exempted from mental control, he rushed forward and punched the huge white flesh worm that was nearly ten stories tall.

"crash"

Ripples like water waves spread across the worm's fat body.

Ji Xun looked at his full-strength punch, but it didn't seem to hurt the monster at all?

He felt clearly that the force released by his fist was absorbed by the ripples of fat.

It feels like after a round of fighting, a value of "-1" appears above the monster's head, while the monster's health bar is "∞".

The word "scraping" is the most appropriate description of Ji Xun's attack at this moment.

When Ji Xun saw this, he suddenly put a sharp relic sword in his hand.

The sword tip was wrapped in a strong energy, and with two slashes, two gashes appeared on the flesh.

But the cuticle was too thick, and the wound, which was nearly ten centimeters deep, did not cause any damage to the giant worm at all.

But when Ji Xun saw this, he was delighted: "The defense is broken!"

The monster's rank was only one level higher than his, and it was a fragile insect.

This kind of close-range attack can definitely cause effective damage.

And the fact that she was able to be hit with these two strikes meant that the queen insect had no other attack capabilities except mental attacks!

The fat body filled the entire cave, and it was unable to move.

Chunchun is a sitting duck!

Even though he's a little thick-skinned, you can always defeat him as long as you give yourself some time!

After Ji Xun confirmed this, he swung the sword in his hand like a storm, slashing wildly.

In a blink of an eye, white liquid could be seen flowing behind the three-meter-thick insect skin.

"That's great!"

Ji Xun had never encountered a monster with such a weak body but such a high level.

He swung the greatsword in his hand, slashing wildly without stopping.

The worms were completely helpless except for releasing wave after wave of mental shocks.

Ji Xun noticed this and swung his sword even faster.

Although he is good at fighting, his swordsmanship is also good.

Moreover, when one reaches a certain level in the martial arts, many things are interconnected.

Large pieces of natural disaster sword energy slashed into the worm's body, like a leaking milk truck, with a large amount of white liquid flowing out.

At this time, the queen insect knew that she could not get rid of the invading humans, so she could only summon the insects in the nest to help.

Ji Xun clearly felt the dense spatial fluctuations appearing behind him.

However, he had experienced the capabilities of these queen guards before, and they posed no threat at all as long as they were not touched.

Ji Xun did not stop his hacking movements. Dozens of flying knives flew in the sky behind him, accurately and sharply aiming at the vital points of the insects that emerged from the cracks in the void.

"Swoosh", "Swoosh", "Swoosh".
All that could be heard was the sound of countless sharp blades cutting through flesh and tissue.

Enlightenment also emerged.

"You killed 'Level 30000 A-Class Disaster - Void Mantis', points +"

"You killed 'Level 8000 B Disaster - Void Mantis', points +"

"."

Ji Xun's calculation ability and absolutely calm mentality prevented him from making any mistakes in the battle. Putting aside the Void ability, those mantises were roughly equivalent to hundreds of low-level card masters to him. Although there were many of them, they were not a threat at all.

And with the [Useless Greatsword], space cracks can be blocked, making the threat a little smaller.

Even if there are really things that are beyond your control, Ivan is there to help you deal with it.

So these void bugs pose no threat to Ji Xun at all.

For him, it's all about points and materials.

In this way, while killing the insects, the queen insect itself is attacked.

The Void Mantis, the queen's guard, was unable to defeat the enemy, and the other Zergs outside also rushed in frantically.

Now it is a positional battle, and Ji Xun is surrounded by more and more Zergs.

If his spell power is exhausted or if he makes even the slightest mistake, he may die here.

But Ji Xun was not panicked at all.

We were able to withstand all the pressure in the hive, which was enough for the other people to calmly transmit the information back to Holy Crown City.

No matter whether it really happened in history or it is a spatial plot, in the end it should be the masters of Holy Crown City who kill the bug.

He was certain that as long as he could hold on for a moment, he would most likely be able to leave alive.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun drilled directly into the mother insect's body through the wound.

Other insects dare not attack the mother, so the threat he faces is greatly reduced.

Then, he hacked and killed indiscriminately in the warm white liquid.

Integral 332213
Integral 455988
Integral 952240
Because the insects near the nest are of high quality, the points continue to soar and will soon break through the one million mark.

Ji Xun alone earned more points than the entire group of 100 people.

The facts were just as Ji Xun expected.

In a hive, nothing matters more than when a queen is attacked.

Almost as soon as Ji Xun attacked the queen, all the high-level Zerg in the hive gathered towards the depths of the underground cave.

For the other survivors, the difficulty of the plot in this other-dimensional space of "The Horror Worm Cave: The Evil Queen Malgit" seemed to have suddenly dropped to the lowest level.

Without any obstacles, they successfully transmitted the message back to Holy Crown City.

In fact, the difficulty of passing this different-dimensional space normally is indeed above level seven.

Whether it is the bugs that have mastered the power of the void or the mother bug's mental power and magic, almost all top-level card masters can die here.

But he happened to meet Ji Xun, who was able to restrain these two methods.

In reality, in the battle three thousand years ago, in this hive, both the final BOSS, the ominous queen Malgit, and the other bugs should have been of a higher rank.

At least it can threaten top card masters.

Otherwise, there would not be the threat of destroying Holy Crown City.

It’s just that in the different-dimensional space, the rank of the monsters is adaptively adjusted according to the rank of the adventurers.

But all that is a story for later. Ji Xun used a rough method to directly get through the last level.

It seems like a coincidence, but it is actually inevitable.

Sufficient intelligence, sufficient means, and strong enough capabilities are all indispensable.

Only then could one pass through an S-level alien dimension without any trouble.

Ji Xun also gradually discovered that as his rank increased and his methods became more and more abundant, the difficulty of the different-dimensional space became lower and lower for him.

It's not that the difficulty has been reduced.

It’s because there are too many means, and when encountering any difficulties, there are more and more options to solve the problem.

For Ji Xun, passing through the different-dimensional space is like unlocking a lock.

Every lock has a corresponding key.

As long as you have enough keys in your hand, you can always find a way to restrain it.

This is an ability that other professional sequence card masters find difficult to possess.

This also gave Ji Xun a deeper understanding of his idea of ​​"Universal Realm".

As long as you know enough, you can always come up with a way to deal with your opponent.

Ji Xun had roughly estimated before coming in that the distance to Shengguan City was only a few dozen kilometers.

This distance can be reached very quickly for a top-level expert.

Ji Xun guessed that when the top NPC arrived, the plot would end.

So at this moment he went all out regardless of the loss, trying to save his life while earning as many points as possible.

The war is in the past, and the outcome doesn't matter.

High customs clearance and settlement is the ultimate goal.

Warm blood and flesh flowed on his body, and Ji Xun was surrounded by a white flowing world.

He didn't remember how many times he had chopped, but he estimated that it would take at least an hour or two to kill the insect queen with his scraping attack.

But the plot ended faster than Ji Xun expected.

A few minutes later, a terrifying black light shot out from nowhere.

Just as Ji Xun was looking, he pierced through the huge body of the queen insect.

The strong annihilation property of the black light instantly corroded a huge hole in the body of the queen insect.

Precise and deadly.

Enlightenment appeared immediately: "Kill the seventh-level S disaster [Evil Omen Queen Malgit], participation rate 35%, points +450000"

The queen insect with such strong vitality was killed by just this one blow?

As soon as the queen insect died, all the insects instantly became a mess. Without a leader, they could only instinctively avoid danger and fled in all directions.

The battle is over.

The abrupt feeling of the end made Ji Xun slightly stunned: Is this the end?
And just not far away, a crystal condensed before his eyes.

Ji Xun didn't care about anything else and took it in his hand first.

[The extraordinary essence of Malgit, the evil queen]

Detailed explanation: Legendary materials, precious space series, wisdom series mysterious materials;
At the same time, Ji Xun was even more surprised that he was very familiar with the beam of black light just now.

“Dark matter energy?”

Ji Xun has seen it!

It was this kind of energy cannon that he had seen used by the mechanical angel that was secretly repaired by the Orlan royal family in Starfall City!
"Could it be."

Ji Xungang vaguely guessed something.

Without waiting to think about it, I saw a shining white light slowly descending from the hollow space of the collapsed corpse in front of me.

The easter egg for completing the S-level story mission has appeared!

Outside of the main storyline, this top-level machine that adventurers would never have been able to see now appears before their eyes.

It was a mechanical angel!
It was like the first appearance of a solar eclipse, with light and darkness interweaving.

It was covered in silver-white metal armor, which was engraved with mysterious and delicate spells, and every line was flowing with a strange energy halo of silver and black.

The pair of wings woven from lightweight alloy behind him are very dazzling.

The angel's face was covered by a translucent veil of light, beneath which lay a pair of captivating eyes.

From time to time, a faint light of wisdom flashes, as if it can see through everything around it.

Ji Xun couldn't help but look at this angel that achieved the ultimate in artistic beauty and technological sense, and he felt as shocked as if he had seen a god.

Holy, solemn, powerful, like an angel protecting justice in the world.
All the details matched, and Ji Xun felt that the incomplete angel he had seen last time was most likely the one in front of him!
This is a combat weapon that is more advanced than the Titan Armor.

"hiss"

Ji Xun took a breath of cold air.

Judging from the situation, it only took one strike to kill the insect queen deep in the cave from the ground a thousand meters above. Its ultimate combat power must be unimaginably high.

If there were more machines like this, the Taren Dynasty wouldn't have collapsed so easily.

At the same time, the look in Ji Xun's eyes changed from amazement to burning.

He knew very well that this angel was of the highest rank and there was absolutely no chance that he could be taken out of the other-dimensional space.

But once it appears, it means that there is a chance that related rewards will appear when you draw cards!

Thinking of this, Ji Xun couldn't help but feel excited.

My evaluation is definitely not low, so there is a high chance that I will win.

Once the mechanical angel appeared, the plot of this alien dimension was completely over.

If this kind of top-level combat power appears and any plot is really triggered, Ji Xun will not be able to participate at his current level.

However, just when he thought that the settlement was forced, an unexpected scene happened again.

The mechanical angel seemed to have discovered something and suddenly raised its right hand, pointing in one direction. Black and white light instantly gathered in its palm.

"what?"

Ji Xun was shocked when he saw this.

Although it was clearly a cold machine, he felt an indescribable murderous horrific intent.

I thought it was some bug that wasn't killed completely.

However, no one expected that the angel's cannon was aimed at Old Man Xu who was hiding in the pile of corpses!

"What's the meaning?!"

Ji Xun was also confused.

Old Man Xu is a space participant, so how could he trigger the hatred of the NPCs on the human side?

Moreover, if the angels really wanted to be hostile to the participants, they should have aimed at themselves first!

The only possibility is that there is some characteristic of Old Man Xu that makes the mechanical angel judge him as an enemy!
The plot of the alternate dimension completely replicates the war that once took place.

This means that if Old Man Xu appeared on the battlefield back then, he would still be regarded as an enemy by the angels.

hiss.
In other words, Old Man Xu is the enemy of the Taren Dynasty?

Who are the enemies of the Talen Dynasty? The Outer Gods of the Seven Scourge Lords?

For a moment, Ji Xun felt as if all the hairs on his body were standing on end.

It was as if I was hit hard by the truth of some lost history, and I felt a little dazed.

What is the identity of this old man?
Thinking about the countless secrets entangled in the old man, Ji Xun suddenly felt that this old man seemed to have some unclear connection with Taron's demise.

However, it is a different dimension after all.

The story ends here completely.

As soon as the distorted light gate appears, the spatial will is forcibly settled.

"Congratulations on clearing 'The Horror Worm Cave: Malgit the Ominous Queen'"

"Space exploration 115%, fixed reward 100%; additional exploration 30%, S-level evaluation, rare card draw +20%"

"Unparalleled Wisdom and Courage: High-level card draw probability +6%"

"Hidden Plot Explorer: Advanced card drawing probability +8%"

"Lone Hero: Increase special cards in the card pool by +15%"

"Monster Slayer: Extra rare card draw probability +5%"

"Rare Survivor: All card draw rewards +10%"

"Complete S-level special plot 'Kill the evil queen Malgit'*1; A-level plot 'The queen's guard corps'*1; B-level plot mission 'Find the queen's nest', C-level mission 'Z-shaped passage'; D-level mission. Treasure chest rarity probability +11%, total reward +22%"

「BOSS斩杀：七阶S灾厄【恶兆母虫马尔吉特】参与度35%，卡池增加史诗级卡牌；五阶A级灾厄【虚空螳螂】*8特殊奖励+4%；四阶B级灾厄【虚空螳螂】*19、四阶C级灾厄【虚空螳螂】*41」

"Overall rating S+, get clearance settlement treasure chest *8"

Ji Xun's thoughts were immediately pulled back by the settlement.

He looked at his S clearance evaluation and was not surprised at all.

But what surprised him was that there were eight treasure chests for completing the game?

This is also the first time that Ji Xun has received such luxurious treatment. With eight treasure chests, he must be able to draw something good, right?
Moreover, the total points of more than two million can be exchanged for rewards.

Without hesitation, he clicked on the settlement treasure chest.

Tips for inspiration:

"Open the clearance treasure chest and obtain the golden blueprint 'Reznik Life Detector Design'"

"Open the clearance treasure chest and obtain the legendary blueprint 'Titan IV Energy Armor Shield Blueprint'"

"Open the clearance treasure chest and obtain the legendary blueprint 'Anti-gravity Mechanical Power Device Diagram'"

"Open the clearance treasure chest and obtain the epic blueprint 'Space Mechanical Great Sword Design'"

"Open the clearance treasure chest and obtain the Hunter God Armor component 'Gravity Kinetic Boiler'"

"Open the clearance treasure chest and obtain the rare metal 'Angel Alloy'"

"Open the clearance treasure chest and obtain the epic blueprint 'Mechanical Angel Antimatter Destroyer Device Concept 1.0'"

"Open the clearance treasure box and get the special card 'Space Teleport Card'"

As expected, almost everything pulled out of the treasure chest was related to machinery.

Eight treasure chests, five blueprints, a piece of mechanical equipment, a rare material, and a card.

Finally, there is a special card.

"Space transfer card?"

Ji Xun just glanced at it and didn't look at it any further.

This is a special card that can force exit from an alternate dimension. The probability of this card being produced is extremely low and it is in short supply on the market.

However, this kind of life-saving card is not that attractive to Ji Xun.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the mechanical drawings that were becoming clearer.

"Design drawings of the space mechanical sword? Great stuff."

Ji Xun only looked at the quality of the drawings, and the worst were all gold, so he knew that he would have a huge harvest.

These drawings are all very practical combat machinery equipment drawings.

However, when he saw the [Mechanical Angel Antimatter Deity-Destroying Device Conceptual Diagram 1.0], his pupils suddenly shrank: "Is it really out?"

Although it was just a small component drawing, Ji Xun took a quick look and found that it was indeed the design drawing of the mechanical angel!
