Cataclysm King

Chapter 45 Unknown level of cataclysm
Hidden plots are very common in different-dimensional spaces.

It's probably like the difficulty level of the dungeon in the previous life game.

The first time I went in it was normal difficulty, then elite, nightmare, hell and so on.

Keep exploring and unlock difficult plots.

Usually this is good news for treasure hunters too.

Because triggering the hidden plot usually means better settlement rewards, and hidden treasures may also be found.

Ji Xun had experienced it once in the 407 space before.

But this time, it was obviously different.

According to the hunters' information, this is just a low-level alien space for skeletons.

But now it appears that monsters are not just skeletons.

"Keeper of secrets, immortal?"

Ji Xun caught the key words and thought about it.

Since the layout person felt that increasing the difficulty of the space could threaten the life of Governor Cao, it was naturally not easy.

"Choose a maze that you can't escape, and then use the monster to kill people. This is once and for all."

Ji Xun quickly figured it out.

He observed the walls of the maze again, and walked towards the depths of the maze without delay.

Regardless of the cause and effect, what he has to do now is to stay away from the governor.

If it was outside, Ji Xun felt that his card master apprentice was affected, and there was a high probability that he would die.

But this is in a different dimension.

The will of space will not change with the individual.

Even the layout people only made some layouts by using the spatial rules.

The assassination must have been extremely dangerous.

But not for myself.

As long as you stay away from the governor, the danger can be reduced by ninety-nine percent.

Ji Xun saw the situation clearly at a glance, and decisively chose to run away.

After walking a few steps, the sounds of battle echoed in the maze.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Guns and guns mixed with various exaggerated movements like thunderstorms echoed in the maze.

Because the labyrinth is a closed corridor, the sound will travel far.

Listening to the fierce battle at that moment, Ji Xun judged the direction, and said in his heart: "You have to find a safe place to hide first."

Finding an exit and escaping the maze is out of the question for now.

Not to mention that he didn't know the way out, even if he knew, he definitely couldn't go now.

Think with your toes, there must be an ambush at the exit.

Ambush those who slipped through the net with a one in ten thousand chance of escaping.

It's safer to hide away.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun avoided the passage where there was news of the battle, and chose the opposite dark passage to walk through.

The facts are as Ji Xun expected.

At this moment, outside the maze, two mysterious people wearing cloaks, a man and a woman, were hiding in the darkness.

Ambushing Cao Sihai, the lord of Innocence City, a nobleman of the Federation, this is already considered a crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family.

But instead of showing any signs of timidity, the two of them chatted enthusiastically while waiting.

"That fat man Cao Sihai actually hid on the freight train and wanted to escape back to the upper city. Tsk tsk, he really didn't care about the face of a high-ranking nobleman. Once this guy dies, Innocence City will be completely bustling."

The cloaked woman's tone was obviously gloating.

In contrast, the man in the cloak who was half a head shorter beside her was taciturn.

Seeing that her accomplice was silent, the woman said to herself again: "I heard from the gossip that the Cao family recently obtained an ancient relic with a high level of catastrophe. This time, I probably brought it with me when I fled back to the capital. Yes. It is said that the wanted criminal "Lone Wolf" Baron brought back from Devil's Crossing. I am also curious about what level of relic it is. "

Hearing this, the man in the cloak became a little interested, and chuckled: "I spread the news. I also hung up the reward on the black market."

The cloaked woman turned her head to look, pursed her mouth, and lost most of her interest in an instant, "Ah, is that fake news?"

The man in the cloak shrugged, and said again: "It's not entirely false, otherwise Cao Sihai would not have left the City of Innocence in a hurry. But the guy in his hand is not the ancient relic brought out by Baron, but an An uncontainable 'catastrophe'."

Hearing this, the cloaked woman's eyes froze, and she became very interested: "Catastrophe?"

The man in the cloak continued: "The Cao family in Dragon City has inherited some ancient books and materials before the cataclysm, but they have not been able to decipher the clues. But more than half a month ago, the hunters who opened up wasteland discovered the one recorded in the materials in the Old Continent. In the ruins of the temple, many ancient relics have been found, including the relic that cannot be contained. The effect is unknown, and the level of catastrophe is not rated yet. Governor Cao left in a hurry this time. In addition to escaping for his life, he also wanted to take the catastrophe to Dragon City .”

Hearing this, the cloaked woman turned her eyes, looked at the indifferent guy beside her, and asked again: "Are you not interested in that thing?"

After all, it is a catastrophe.

Things that can be called "catastrophes" have some unimaginable magical effects.

No matter what the rating is, once it appears, it will inevitably attract countless powerful people to snap up it, and even lead to war.

"It's not that I'm not interested, it's that I don't make unnecessary attachments."

The cloaked man chuckled softly.

He gave his reasons again: "The ancient relics before the cataclysm all involved special rules of fate. It was the gift of the ancient demon god, but not everyone can afford it. No matter what process it goes through, it will eventually It is destiny to fall into the hands of the person who fits it. If this thing is mine, I will not miss it, and it is destined not to be mine, and I cannot force it. Otherwise, even if I get it, it will be temporarily kept for fate, just to add trouble."

"Ah, your fatalism is too far-fetched, isn't it?"

The cloaked woman first rolled her eyes.

As she said that, she still didn't forget to complain quietly: "If you say this, everyone is still doomed to die. It's better to die sooner. Come, come, since your ability is so powerful, let's make a marriage for my sister. "

"I don't know how to divination."

"The deduction is the same. Come on, deduce it for my sister, can I meet an unrivaled hero? Well, I also need a handsome man with auspicious feet to meet me"

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Maybe you will be disappointed. I think there is a high probability that you will die alone."

"Bah! Bah! Bah! You really deserve a beating. You can't pick a good one? What kind of broken ability is not allowed at all."

"."

The two exchanged a few off-topic words.

The man in the cloak smiled and did not argue, and returned to the topic: "At least according to the information obtained so far, whoever gets the 'catastrophe' will suffer misfortune. The first to find it is the Thunder Hammer Mercenary Group. Ninety percent of them died. Those who came back alive were all silenced by Cao Sihai before. Later, six people came into contact with that thing, but all of them died suddenly for various reasons. Now Governor Cao is no exception. It seems that there is a strange fate involved. And what's even more strange is that no one knows what it is so far."

After finishing speaking, he jokingly asked back: "After listening to this, do you still want to hold it in your hand?"

Although the cloaked woman didn't believe it, she still recognized her companion's ability very much, and raised her brows: "So wicked?"

He said that if there is a problem, there must be a problem.

"if not?"

The cloaked man smiled noncommittally.

He didn't say much on this topic, and then said: "Compared to this, this maze is more interesting to me. I went shopping before, and I found out that this maze in the Great Cemetery was from the Talun Dynasty 3000 years ago. The labyrinth of resentment generated by the 'mad king' Augustus who killed the mausoleum craftsmen. That was the last recorded ancient dynasty before the cataclysm. The period of history before the cataclysm was broken at this point. Don't you think, Is this more valuable than any treasure?"

"."

The cloaked woman rolled her eyes, apparently not feeling it.

The two were silent for a moment.

She was not interested in talking about this kind of topic at all, so she changed the subject directly: "The Cao family actually wanted to control the innocent city and monopolize the old continent. This time, they also cleared the Frost Knights. It's over. Hey, tell me, who paid the reward for our mission this time?"

The man in the cloak said indifferently: "Who is important? Do you think other than the Cao family, the other members of the council, which ones don't have the same idea? If the Cao family continues to dominate, I'm afraid they won't be able to satisfy those few seats."

After a pause, his tone was as lazy as ever, but his eyes were secretly sharp, and he said meaningfully: "The main cities have stayed in the rich mine layer for too long, and now the group of pedantic old guys in the Federal Parliament are immersed in lust and luxury. They have already lost their sense of adventure. They have also forgotten their ancestral teachings and no longer explore the depths of the crypt. But we are treasure hunters. Now that we have discovered the Old World, let those bloated old guys get up and move .”

Hearing this, the cloaked woman complained, "Hehe. Politics is really boring."

She was not interested in talking about this, and asked again: "Cao Sihai is dead now, so what should we do next in Innocence City? Although the gangsters in the lower city are fighting endlessly, they are now unanimously outside, even if the governor is not Cao It’s useless to change anyone to be the lord. Could it be possible to let the parliament send troops to force it?”

The cloaked man said meaningfully: "Can you kill all the rats in the sewer? Besides, the city of innocence is not as simple as it seems. Anyone who wants to force it will be doomed."

The cloaked woman was puzzled: "Then what should we do? We can't let these gangsters keep controlling the Nuggets Wharf leading to the Old Continent, right?"

The cloaked man said meaningfully: "The strong are often divided from the inside."

Hearing this nagging tone, the cloaked woman rolled her eyes and lost the idea of ​​continuing the conversation, "Forget it. You are the one who is suitable for this kind of conspiracy."

She asked again: "By the way, there seem to be some very special guys among the previous predators?"

The cloaked man: "It's just the remnants of the old era. It has a little connection with that side, and if it's a game, just kill a few more people by the way."

"."

The two chatted casually.

In the maze, it was already a scene of tragedy.
