Cataclysm King

Chapter 485 Harvesting Gold Coin Fruit Materials
"General land reclamation missions can be solved by mercenaries. If the Holy Dragon Knights are involved, it must be a top-secret mission of the Holy See. I suspect it may be related to the fragments of the Godhead."

"Hmm. It seems that the passage this mutant snake came from should lead to the 'Death Zone'. Its godhead fragments should also have come from somewhere."

"."

When Ji Xun and Qin Rushi saw the rotten armor inside the big snake, they thought of a lot of things at once.

Originally they had planned to explore the cave.

But now, I immediately gave up the idea.

According to Ji Xun's speculation, the "Dead Zone" area, even if the journey was smooth, would still be at least half a month away from the Blackwater Swamp.

Now it seems that this cave may be a shortcut.

However, the situation in the cave is unclear, and if we just explore like this, the probability of encountering danger is very high.

A mutated seventh-level lord monster almost caused the Great Sword Corps to be decimated, not to mention the unknown area in the "Dead Zone" where it has been confirmed that there are eighth-level monsters.

If we were to explore like this rashly, we would probably end up being wiped out.

And the danger is not just monsters, you might also encounter people from the Holy See.

The value of the "Fragment of the Godhead" is immeasurable, and it is a treasure coveted by powerful gods.

If they really meet, there will inevitably be a conflict.

Now the three major Outer God sects, the Holy See, the Light See, and the Scarlet Sect, are all playing a game over the "Dead Zone".

These three parties are all forces where foreign gods exist.

It is extremely risky for others to get involved.

So after Ji Xun and Qin Rushi discussed it, they decided to follow the original plan and go to the Dead Zone along the original route to see the situation there first.

While Ji Xun and Qin Ru were pondering the cave, the members of the Great Sword Group were having a great time looting the temple.

This site looks like no one has ever been here and is relatively well preserved.

However, after Ji Xun reminded people that the outer gods might still be in this Sun Temple, no one dared to touch anything related to the gods.

For example, the dragon guard statue and the dragon throne in the depths.

But even so, the gains were huge.

"Hahaha, look, there are so many gold coins here!"

"It should be used for sacrifice."

"Brother Ji Xun, can I take these things?"

"As long as it's not on the altar, it should be fine."

"okay!"

"."

After all, more than 100,000 years have passed, and almost everything in the temple, except the stones, has decayed.

However, the team members soon discovered a pool of gold coins in a mud-covered area at the entrance of the temple that looked like a fountain.

There is no use for dragons to have gold, but they are greedy by nature and like all kinds of golden and precious things.

Just as humans pick out the color of floor tiles, dragons often use gold coins to pave their nests.

Therefore, many temples related to dragons in the southern continent are piled with large amounts of gold and silver. They are just decorations and do not involve any mysterious power.

After asking Ji Xun, the know-it-all, everyone started digging for gold coins enthusiastically.

The revolutionary army needs this funding.

This can exchange a large amount of supplies for the base in Donghuang.

The big snake was handled by a special person, and Ji Xun had no interest in the gold coins. He just took a few samples and looked at the golden dragon head images on them.

Relics related to the "Alterac Civilization", especially those pointing to the Dragon God of Light, are now taboo in the Erel Empire.

It was only recently that Ji Xun secretly obtained some documents and learned the origin of the portrait on the gold coin.

It should be the Dragon God Malodius who is recorded in the classics as "King of Alterac", "Ruler of the Golden Clan", "Dragon God of Light", "Lord of Justice and Life" and other great titles.

Another Outer God from the Age of Chaos.

However, in the records of the Arel Empire, it is the "Lord of Evil Omens", the source of all disasters.

Even the name is taboo.

So it is little known.

Everyone in the Great Sword Group was careful not to enter the core of the temple, but Ji Xun was interested in examining the blurred lines and exquisite reliefs on the stone carvings.

It’s not that these things can’t be touched.

But you must not touch it with subjective thoughts of "greed" or "blasphemy".

Otherwise, directed evil thoughts will usually arouse the awareness of God's will.

Ji Xun was simply interested in the information hidden in these ancient relics.

Usually, these murals are epic stories that record the great achievements of the rulers.

It has high research value for archaeologists.

The same is true of the stone carvings in the Temple of the Sun.

Although most of the reliefs are broken and corroded, I can still understand them by guessing.

The records are all from the human perspective, praising the great Golden Dragon God who brought them light, food and everything.

Ji Xun thought that there was nothing that could surprise him.

However, as I looked at it, I saw a war scene on the relief on the southwest corner of the temple.

As he looked at it, his eyes froze.

Because, what he was looking at was a "giant hand"!
"Hey, what's going on? Did the Dragon God Marodis fight with that mysterious giant hand?"

Ji Xun also found it a little unbelievable.

If he had not witnessed with his own eyes the huge hand breaking out of the seal under the Royal Academy's [Tower of Babel], he really would not have understood that the blurry hand was a monster!

After all, there is a difference of more than 100,000 years, so it's like there are two different timelines, and the pictures are indistinct.

Ji Xun felt that his brain was not enough.

Previously in "Thousands of Troops Besieged the City", the High Priest of Taren, Nan Shenyu, gave a brief introduction to the ranks of the gods.

What lower godhood, middle godhood, and Emperor Lanlingster is the only upper god for countless years.

However, for him, the extraordinary realm above the ninth level is just something he can imagine.

Ji Xun couldn't understand what that meant exactly.

He just looked at the murals and felt a strange feeling.

Can you fight the Dragon God head-on with just one hand?
"No wonder the Royal Academy has to continuously extract the divinity of the big hand, otherwise this thing might be able to destroy the world."

It took more than 100,000 years to break the seal, and it took the combined efforts of several top experts from the Royal Academy to suppress it. You can imagine how terrifying his original divinity was.

From the energy perspective alone, Ji Xun felt that the big hand might be stronger than all the known elemental veins in the entire Eastern Wilderness combined.

It was so powerful that it seemed as if it shouldn't exist in this cave world.

Just by seeing the content on the carving, Ji Xun felt as if there were some "broken clues" in his mind that had nothing to do with his original cognition.

It feels like a perfectly fine puzzle of the world. No matter which piece it is, the colors and patterns are logically connected to each other.

However, at this moment, a few fragments suddenly appeared out of thin air, which had no connection with this world no matter how you looked at it.

"."

Ji Xun instantly realized that he might have touched upon some ancient secrets that had been erased from history.

Let me think about the recent situation in the World of Warcraft Forest.

A thought popped into my mind: The death of Emperor Lanlingster might have something to do with this.

Qin Rushi watched Ji Xun absorbed in his study, so she also came over, looked at the carving, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Her knowledge of archaeology was not as good as Ji Xun's, so she didn't see anything.

Ji Xun pointed at the big hand on the carving and said, "Aunt Qin, didn't I tell you before that the Royal Academy has sealed a mysterious big hand?"

Qin Rushi also thought it was a coincidence when she heard it: "Is this the hand?"

"Most likely."

Ji Xun nodded and added: "Moreover, I suspect this is not an ordinary temple. It may be part of some super-large seal. Look at these array patterns, they are pointing to the magic patterns of the seal."

Like the hexagram or nine-pointed star magic circles, the star corners are the corners of the circle.

If this temple is really a corner of a formation as Ji Xun guessed, then the scale of this seal would be somewhat scary.

"seal?"

Qin Rushi also fell into deep thought.

However, Ji Xun only saw this bit of information.

He couldn't figure out the thing at first glance, and no matter how much he thought about it, there was no follow-up.

Before the two could say more, suddenly the "Demolition Master" Rosen shouted in a hoarse voice not far away: "Chief, it's bad, Captain Bonnie has been poisoned!"

Everyone was shocked.

The chief physician has been poisoned. This is a serious matter.

Even Ji Xun thought something unexpected had happened, and he and Qin Rushi hurried over. However, before they got close, Bonnie, who was lying on the ground, sat up with her head shaking.

She looked at her companions who were looking at her with strange eyes, and did not forget to complain: "Ah, Losen, stop yelling. I'm not poisoned, I'm just drunk."

Everyone: "."

Ji Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

Along the way, he also knew the habits of the team's chief nanny.

Bonnie is a poison master and she likes to eat poisons and toxins on a daily basis. One reason is to develop her body's tolerance to poisons, and the other is that she is really greedy.

Just like alcoholism, once it becomes a habit, it is addictive.

But if you eat too much, you may occasionally suffer from toxic overload, which is called "toxic intoxication".

Looking at Bonnie lying by the pond, Ji Xun guessed that she was poisoned by the [Plague Fruit].

The same is true.

After Bonnie woke up, she looked at the fruit that was emitting skull-green gas, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Ah, this fruit is too strong. I just sniffed it and it turned out to be poisonous?"

However, there was no fear in his tone, only enthusiasm and excitement: "Just this poison gas, the toxin level is probably above level seven. If we can really collect it, even if we encounter a level seven card master, we will be killed on the spot by the poison."

"."

Everyone's eyes twitched inexplicably when they heard this.

Bonnie also showed a difficult expression, looking at Qin Rushi and said: "Ah, Chief, I want to take this fruit away, but I can't take it in, what should I do?"

She cannot digest this fruit at her current level, so she can only take it back and study it slowly.

But the prerequisite is that you can take it away.

Qin Rushi tried to get closer to the fruit, but soon felt a burning sensation and showed a helpless expression: "My domain cannot withstand this poison for a long time."

The level of the toxin law is too high for her to bear, and ordinary containment cards are simply unable to restrain the horrific toxicity.

And I dare not use it.

Even if they were forcibly contained, once it was leaked, the entire team would probably suffer.

Seeing that Qin Rushi was helpless, Bonnie pursed her lips and looked pitiful: "Ah?"

If our own leader can't do anything about it, then there's really nothing we can do.

Suddenly she thought of something and looked at Ji Xun: "Ji Xun, do you have any ideas?"

Ji Xun thought about it and rarely used an uncertain tone: "I'm not sure if it will work."

However, when Bonnie heard this, her gloomy expression immediately brightened up: "Ah? Do you have a solution?"

Ji Xun didn't say much and took out a few golden containment cards.

Infused with magical power, a black vortex appeared on the card.

Everyone looked at her, and Bonnie asked curiously, "What is this containment card?"

This is different from any containment card on the market. It has a kind of law power that they have never encountered.

And it clearly looks like a hole in space has opened?
Ji Xun responded: "This is a disposable storage tool I made using the laws of space."

I have read so many books in the Royal Library, including some classics on the laws of space that are rare in the market.

Although I didn't learn any space spells, I still learned a few little tricks.

For example, the production method of this special space containment card.

He added: "But I'm not sure if it can withstand this kind of poison."

But for Bonnie, this was a big surprise in her despair.

As they were talking, everyone in the Great Sword Group looked on in amazement as the fruit in the venom pool a few meters away seemed to be carefully plucked out by an invisible giant hand and flew into the air.

Seeing this, Bonnie and the people around her were all stunned.

They looked at Guozi, then at Ji Xun, their expressions seemed to be saying: How did you do that?
You know, this [Plague Fruit] can even corrode the soul.

This means that elements, matter, and spiritual power will be corroded if they come into contact with each other.

Just now they tried to pick them using mental power, but failed.

What do you see now?
This guy Ji Xun actually pulled up the entire poisonous fruit by its roots?

How strong a mental force must be required?
However, as everyone was looking on expectantly, Ji Xun's brows suddenly frowned, as if he had lost strength, and the spiritual plant slowly fell into the poisonous water again.

“The corrosion is too strong.”

Ji Xun also muttered something in his heart and laughed at himself.

The concentration of my mental power is still a little lacking.

It's like a paper hand holding a flame, which burns brighter and brighter.

The spiritual hand was corroded just now, so I didn't pick it up.

Bonnie looked at Ji Xun's frown and thought he felt embarrassed for making a mistake in front of everyone, so she quickly encouraged him, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Ji Xun, you're already amazing."

This is not consolation, but the truth.

This scene had already stunned everyone in the Great Sword Group.

Especially those magic card masters who thought they had good mental strength, none of them thought they could achieve this.

Without asking, they knew that Ji Xun's mental power was probably ridiculously strong.

At this moment, everyone had only admiration in their eyes, and no one had the intention to laugh at the joke.

Bonnie frowned and suggested unwillingly, "How about we think of another way?"

However, Ji Xun said casually, "No need."

Having said that, before anyone else could wonder, he took out a shining crystal ball.

If you don’t have the strength, then use equipment.

[Moon] This silver moon relic is the best mental power amplifier.

When Ji Xun held it in his hand, he immediately became energetic.

When he looked again, the "hand of spiritual power" in front of him immediately materialized. The gentle moonlight condensed into a big hand, which slowly pulled out the poisonous plant not far away.

"."

Most of the cadres of the revolutionary army knew about this relic.

Now, when they saw Ji Xun casually taking out the sacred object of the Silver Moon Sect, which now dominated the Eastern Wilderness, their expressions were indescribably strange.

Why does this guy seem so wild?
Ji Xun didn't pay attention to the expressions of the crowd, and this time he pulled out the virus very easily.

Then he separated the fruits one by one and carefully placed them into several storage cards.

The moment the spiral on the card disappeared, the burning sensation in the air, which seemed like a breath of fire, instantly disappeared.

Bonnie was overjoyed: "It worked?!"

Ji Xun held the card in his hand, his expression a little uncertain: "It's done. But I don't know how long this card can last."

But it's not a big problem.

Since he was able to successfully contain it the first time, even if it shattered later, he could seal it the second time.

Moreover, this is a card he made himself, so if it is leaked, it can be sensed immediately.

Ji Xun had already impressed everyone with his strength.

After this explanation, the revolutionary army was even more amazed at his ability to know everything.

Bonnie was so excited that she gave Ji Xun a warm friendship hug, "Wow Ji Xun, you are so amazing!"

Qin Ru was watching from the side with a gentle smile on her lips.

The materials of the two seventh-level lord monsters have been processed, the [Plague Fruit] has been successfully contained, and the gold coins have been dug up in piles.
The group did not stay in the temple for long, but quickly cleaned up the scene and left.

If it is an ordinary Warcraft lord, just kill it.

But there happened to be a trace of [fragment of divinity] on the forehead of the mutant snake.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi both felt that the people from the Holy See might be following the traces of the giant snake.

as predicted.

A few hours later, when several members of the Great Sword Group had disappeared into the depths of the Blackwater Swamp, a group of fully armed mercenaries carefully walked out of the cave where the giant snake had crawled out.

Looking at the spear knight pattern on the emblem, it is none other than the "King's Knights", one of the top mercenary groups in the southern continent.

In order to track down the giant snake that escaped from the forbidden area, the King's Group sent five seventh-level captains this time.

If Ji Xun and the others were still here, they would be able to recognize the blond and blue-eyed captain in this team. He was William whom they met at the gate of Juling City before.

"Captain, there is a relic here! It seems to be the lair of the giant snake!"

"Everyone be careful, the mutant dragon python king may be hiding here."

"Captain, something is wrong. There are traces of battle in the ruins!"

"."

Soon, the King's knights discovered that not only were there no trace of the Snake King, but the temple had already been entered by someone else.

(PS. I'm a little disappointed, sorry~)
