Cataclysm King

Chapter 500: Dragon Corpse and Moon Well

“Huh, it can’t be included in the oil painting?”

When Ji Xun saw that there was a dragon egg in the box, he didn't hesitate and wanted to use the spatial relic [Monet's Sunrise] to collect it.

However, when I tried, I unexpectedly found that it could not be installed.

This situation will only occur when the level of object law is higher than the storage space itself.

Ji Xun was not surprised at all, but was delighted: "Could it be the Dragon God Egg?"

[Monet's Sunrise] was the storage relic with the highest level of laws that he had ever seen. It was the work of the court painter of Taren back then. It was estimated that its level of space laws was around the ninth level.

But it cannot be contained now, which means that the laws contained in this dragon egg are even higher.

According to legend, the offspring of certain superior races are born with certain bloodline divinity. For example, a pure-blooded dragon is born with the combat power equivalent to that of a high-level magical beast.

Ji Xun had seen many sub-dragon eggs in Giant Spirit City in the past few months, but had never encountered this kind of problem when sheltering them.

The only explanation he could think of was that this dragon egg was very special.

“No wonder it can only be transported up here by manpower.”

Ji Xun grinned.

The oil painting cannot contain it, and there is probably very little storage space in this plane that can hold this dragon egg.

There is no doubt that there must be magical marks on this dragon egg.

Moreover, it cannot be contained. No matter who snatches it, it is a time bomb that can be located and found by the masters of the Holy See at any time.

If it were someone else, they would have no choice but to give up, but Ji Xun was different.

He heard the sound of the wind rushing towards him not far away, patted his pocket and said, "Little Ivan, help me."

This is not the first time that Ivan has been used as a storage space by Ji Xun.

She poked her head out, looked at the situation, and a resentful expression appeared on her face.

But he didn't say much. He opened his mouth wide and took a big gulp. Ripples of food appeared in the air. He swallowed the wooden box in front of him which was several meters long and wide in one gulp.

After finishing eating, the little girl didn't forget to complain quietly: "Ji Xun, can you please not let me swallow so many weird things and not let me eat them."

The key is not that I am unwilling to be a storage tool.

But don't let her really eat it.

Ji Xun patted his head and laughed: "Yeah. I'll make you something delicious next time."

"It's settled then~"

Hearing this, Ivan, the little foodie, immediately became happy.

Ji Xun didn't dare to stop at all and disappeared on the dark rock wall in an instant.

On the other side, Qin Rushi and his group also evacuated quickly according to the plan.

After a few breaths, several high-level card masters wearing the robes of the Holy See came to reinforce. Looking at the empty rope in front of them, their faces turned pale.

Not long after, Ji Xun made a big circle in a cave on the sixth layer of rock wall and met Qin Rushi and others again.

"Aunt Qin, are you saying that most of those boxes contain temple materials?"

"Yes. There are some murals, statues, cut altar fragments and other large items. The style is very similar to the Sun Temple we encountered in the Blackwater Swamp. There are also some architectural relics that may not be temples, but have a very unique style. I have also written them down."

"But some of them are very special. Everyone has seen them, but their brains can't remember them. I did remember a little bit."

"."

According to the plan, Qin Rushi and his companions were only making a feint attack and did not rob anything.

When Ji Xun asked what was in the box, he immediately realized that there was indeed a super-large relic under the sixteenth floor.

As they talked, they drew out some of the patterns of the items they had previously memorized.

They all knew that Ji Xun had studied those ancient civilizations and could see the information hidden in these objects.

Ji Xun took a look and found that it was indeed a temple from the Alterac civilization period.

But I haven't seen others.

Especially what Qin Rushi said, those patterns that everyone saw but didn’t remember.

Ji Xun was no stranger to this situation, and when he heard this, he realized that it might be some advanced ancient writing.

Ji Xun looked at the mysterious patterns that Qin Ru had expressed with his mental power and patterns, and was also very confused. He said, "It's strange, it's not the sun totem of the Church of Light? This seems to be some unique totem worship, and it looks a bit like the elemental symbols of nature. Such symbols are often pictographic. For example, this '' is the water element, and this '' should be the moon. It looks a bit like some kind of advanced writing, but judging by the style, it's not dragon language, nor demon language, nor god language."

He couldn't recognize what he saw, and the others looked even more confused.

When Qin Rushi heard this, he pondered, "What other advanced races are there in the southern continent?"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun's expression immediately revealed a look of being in the mountains without realizing it.

Yup!

Aren’t the two elemental elves also mythical races?
Moreover, their tribe has lived in the Warcraft Forest for countless years, and is not even too far from this dead zone.

Ji Xun thought of this, patted his pocket, and asked, "Kora, Nina, can you help me see if you recognize these symbols?"

As he spoke, two little heads popped out from the special space in his pocket.

This question really got me a surprise.

When the two elemental elves saw the symbols written by Qin Rushi, they immediately exclaimed: "This seems to be the language of the high elves!"

When everyone heard that it was the Elvish language, they all became excited.

Ji Xun quickly asked, "Do you know each other? What does it say?"

Nina frowned and said with an embarrassed look: "The semantics of the High Elven language is more expressive. These symbols are very incomplete and I don't recognize them."

Ji Xun also expressed his understanding when he heard it. After all, Qin Rushi only described the appearance of some symbols.

However, just when everyone thought they could not get any useful information, Korra said, "But it looks a bit like the divine pattern of the Moon Well, the holy place of our elves, which the chief told us about."

"Moonwell?"

Ji Xun's black eyes began to turn as he listened.

It's not like I didn't get any clues just now.

The two elementals recognized that this was the writing of the high elves, which actually confirmed that the ruins below were related to the elemental elves.

Now when he heard the word "Moon Well", too many thoughts burst out in his mind like a gusher.

Bonnie turned her face towards Ji Xun and asked curiously, "What is the Moon Well?"

These days, the two elemental elves are no strangers to the revolutionary army. The elves have a strong sense of human character, and they all have a good impression of the cadres.

Nina took the initiative to explain: "That is the holy land of our elemental elves. It is the spring where the elements of heaven and earth converge. However, countless years ago, a disaster struck and our elemental elves suffered the disaster of genocide. After the tribe members fled far away from their ancestral land, no one has seen them since."

"."

Everyone suddenly understood after hearing this.

Ji Xun had heard of the two elves before. Their tribe had been multiplying in the Warcraft Forest for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

In other words, the legend of the "Moon Well" may be even older.

Although everyone's thoughts were not as active as Ji Xun's, they also thought of this.

"That is to say, the people of the Holy See discovered an ancient elven relic down there?"

"It could be. Could it be that this dead zone is the ancestral land of the elves, and that the 'Moon Well' still exists?"

"It's hard to say. But looking at the grand gesture of the Holy See, even if it's not, there must be treasures underneath."

"."

Everyone started chatting at once.

No matter how you look at it, the current clues point to a sixteen-story ancient ruin, which must be of considerable origin.

But the information is limited and we can't make a clear analysis.

Qin Rushi turned around and looked at Ji Xun, and asked, "By the way, Ji Xun, did you gain anything?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at them curiously, after all, Ji Xun was the main attacker in the robbery just now.

Ji Xun had wanted to say this just now, but he got some important information and was thinking about those things.

Now that Qin Rushi was in doubt, he casually said, "I got a dragon egg."

"Oh, dragon eggs."

"What. Dragon egg? Is it the dragon egg I understand?"

"Oh, if it's that kind of thing, it's a rare thing."

"."

Everyone listened to Ji Xun's calm tone and thought it was not a big deal.

But when I looked at his expression, I seemed to realize that it wasn't that simple.

Qin Rushi guessed something and asked, "Dragon egg of a pure-blooded dragon?"

"Ah."

Ji Xun looked at everyone's expectant gazes and added, "It is very likely to be the Dragon God's egg."

"Dragon God?"

Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened, with a look of surprise, as if their thoughts could not keep up with their ears.

You should know that even the dragon eggs of pure-blooded dragons are taboo in the southern continent.

Not to mention selling it, even if the king saw it, he would have to kneel down and welcome it.

Dragon's Egg
People couldn't even imagine that this thing could really be obtained by humans?
If these words came from someone else, the cadres might think that he had made a mistake.

However, since it was Ji Xun who said it, no one doubted it.

There was only glittering expectation in everyone's eyes.

This feeling is like picking up a baby god, how can one not be excited?

Ji Xun was also confused, so he told everyone the details for reference: "The box I just went to has a seventh-level guardian. And the dragon egg's law level is very high."

After hearing this, everyone felt that his judgment was even more correct.

Since the egg was put into a box by the people of the Holy See instead of being worshipped, it must not be the egg of a dragon god from the southern continent.

Bonnie asked, "An egg related to the Dragon God? Could it be a certain Dragon God who surrounded and killed Emperor Lanlingster back then?"

Ji Xun: "I think so too. But there are still many doubts that I can't figure out."

For example, why is the dragon egg in this dead zone, why is it still active after so many years, and which dragon god gave birth to it.
These doubts seem to have a fatal attraction. Once you think about them, if you don't find an answer, they will cause you deep trouble.

Qin Rushi saw the eagerness in Ji Xun's eyes and asked, "Do you want to go down?"

"Ah."

Ji Xun did not come up with this idea on a whim. The information he had learned was that the Holy See had sent many elite mercenaries to explore the wasteland.

Although they are cannon fodder, since those mercenaries can go, it means that the risk is not 100% certain to die.

With Ji Xun’s current strength, of course he would go there.

Hearing what he said, the revolutionary army cadres standing by became excited and ready to go.

If they were really left to go on their own, they wouldn't be sure.

But after spending this period of time together, everyone has developed a tacit understanding that whatever Ji Xun says he can do, he can do it!
Chen Jianwuliu couldn't help but ask, "Chief, can we go together?"

Sam and his friends on the side also echoed: "Yes, if those mercenaries can go, then of course we can too!"

Qin Rushi looked at everyone's expressions, thought about it, looked at Ji Xun again, and asked, "What do you think?"

Ji Xun spread his hands and said truthfully: "The risk is very high. But we are few in number, so we should be careful. At least the risk is much lower than those people from the Holy See."

When everyone heard that it was feasible, they became excited.

They just robbed a dragon egg. What kind of treasure is waiting for them underneath?

After Ji Xun and his companions discussed and made a decision, they immediately took action.

They quietly groped their way towards the route that the Holy See had cleared on the rock wall.

The previous robbery also stopped.

This was completely within Ji Xun's expectations.

Their previous robbery was so clean that they left no clues, so we couldn't catch them even if we wanted to.

Also, the robbery at this critical juncture can easily be associated with the tactic of "luring the snake out of its hole".

Now the three foreign god sects are fighting fiercely, and the people of the Holy See dare not send experts to look for people everywhere.

This is the dead zone after all.

There are countless threats here that are deadly to top card masters.

Ji Xun also felt that the dragon egg might not be that important to the Holy See.

A giant dragon usually lays several eggs in a nest, and there may be others as well; also, if there are any left over from tens of thousands of years ago, they may have belonged to a hostile dragon god, so there is no urgency to retrieve them.

Just like that, Ji Xun and his companions sneaked over again.

The rope ladder is still moving the cargo in an orderly manner.

However, the number of guards was visibly increased.

They no longer thought about stealing the goods, but instead found a suitable route from a distance and climbed down.

The Holy See expended a great deal of manpower and resources, and spent a year and a half to finally explore to the sixteenth floor.

However, Ji Xun and his friends didn't have to go through such a difficult time.

There are too many people in the Holy See and the goal is too big, so there is only one way to go: to push forward.

The diameter of the dead zone pit is tens of thousands of meters. The mercenaries have cleared a relatively safe route on the rock wall at the cost of huge casualties.

All the monsters near the line have been cleared out.

This also made things convenient for Ji Xun and his group.

There were few of them, so they only had to stay far away and follow the safe route that had been cleared, so they wouldn't encounter any major danger.

Even if you encounter it, for example, you encounter some top-level monster.

Ji Xun would also divert the trouble away and let the people of the Holy See attract the fire.

This is also the reason why he said before that the risks are controllable.

In this way, the group carefully spent nearly two days and reached the fifteenth floor.

Because they were careful enough, the process went so smoothly that everyone felt it was incredible.

Uncle Dong had already surveyed the fifteenth floor and found that it was a vast forest.

The fifteenth floor is said to be a crack in the rocks, but from a high place it looks like a belt of fire across the entire Death Realm Abyss.

Because the trees growing here are not the normal trees outside, but the special products of hell - the firethorn trees.

This is a rare wood containing dark and fire elements, and is a high-quality material for staffs, palaces, scrolls and wooden equipment.

In the outside world, a thousand-year-old flame thorn tree is worth over ten thousand gold.

And there are millions of giant trees here that are thousands of years old.

These woods alone are invaluable.

And once you actually go down there, you'll discover how incredibly huge this forest is. Thousands of people could go in and not even a bubble could be seen.

The sixteenth layer of ancient ruins is still below.

But on the fifteenth floor, this is already an area heavily guarded by the Holy See.

There are not only a large number of mercenaries, kingdom knights and holy dragon legions here, but also an adventurer camp and several eye-catching nine-story magic towers.

You have to know that the Firefly Camp was so big before, but it only had a nine-story magic tower.

And in this makeshift camp, at least nine of them can be seen with the naked eye!
It can be seen that the top leaders of the Holy See are really determined to explore at all costs.

"This is troublesome! The nine-story magic tower has a large-scale life perception barrier. We will be discovered if we get close. This road is not feasible."

"It seems we have to find a way down by ourselves."

"This won't be easy. According to the intelligence we got before, there is a ninth-level monster nest below the thirteenth floor. If we really encounter it, it won't be good."

"."

On the rock wall, Ji Xun and his group looked at the camp of the Holy See from a distance, and each of them showed difficulty on their face.

Ji Xun couldn't think of any good solution.

The people of the Holy See obviously thought that someone would come down along the route they had opened up, so they chose a very tricky location for this camp.

If you don't bypass it, you will be discovered; if you bypass the camp, you will have to go a long way to an undeveloped area.

Ji Xun and his friends observed for a long time and found that if they wanted to go to the sixteenth floor, they had to take a detour and open a new route.

But they were not in a hurry. Since they had been here for so long, they just had to wait patiently.

See if there are some better opportunities.

At noon, in the cave on the rock wall, Ji Xun and his companions replenished their food as usual.

At this time, Uncle Dong, who was in charge of the alert, suddenly said, "Everyone be careful, someone is coming!"

As they spoke, everyone immediately became alert.

Ji Xun originally thought that he might have been discovered by accident, but at this time, the blood pollution in his body was triggered.

He knew that this person was greeting him, and when he thought of who it was, he greeted everyone, "Well, don't worry. It's an acquaintance."

After Qin Rushi and the others heard this, they relaxed their guard.

At this moment, a black shadow flew in from outside.

It was Mrs. Mist.

During the previous battle at the Firefly Camp, Qin Rushi and the others had already seen the vampire Countess.

They also knew the relationship between Ji Xun and the vampires, so when they saw the person coming, they didn't feel threatened.

Mrs. Mist flew into the cave. As soon as she landed, she retracted her wings and immediately changed from a vampire back to her charming human form. She said to herself, "My Lord Prince told me that you would come, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to really come."

Ji Xun looked at her, not too surprised, and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Mist, why are you here?"

Xie Guozhong could sense his own position, he had experienced it before in Juling City.

But they currently have no conflict of interest with the Scarlet Sect, so there won't be any risks.

So it is necessary to be overly cautious.

Mrs. Mist didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "After all, you saved me. The prince said you were here, brother, so he came to see you."

As she spoke, she also reminded them: "Fortunately you didn't go down any further, otherwise it would be dangerous. There are at least three cardinals from the Holy See stationed in that camp, as well as some ascetics from the Inquisition."

Although Ji Xun didn't know what the situation was in the camp, he guessed it.

However, when he heard about the three cardinals, he also felt a slight headache.

With this configuration, if you are discovered, you will have nowhere to escape.

But it was also expected.

After hearing what Mrs. Mist said, Ji Xun knew that she had good intentions, so he simply asked, "Madam, what's the situation on the sixteenth floor now?"

Mrs. Mist had no intention of hiding anything and said, "I don't know the details, and I was stopped here. But the prince sent a message saying that there is a sun temple on the sixteenth floor, and there are huge ancient building ruins. We don't know what is in the ruins yet. But they found the body of a dragon god. The conflict that occurred in the past few days was that several parties were fighting for the body of the dragon god."

"The body of the Dragon God?"

These words were like a bomb, thrown into the hearts of everyone, including Ji Xun, and exploded.

Gods are supposed to be faraway beings, and now the body of the Dragon God has been found in the ruins?

No wonder
After hearing this, everyone understood why the fight was so intense.

Mrs. Mist looked at the astonished eyes of the crowd, smiled, and asked, "Brother, do you want to go to the sixteenth floor?"

"Ah."

Ji Xun said truthfully: "If it is possible."

Smart people don't need to beat around the bush when talking to each other. Mrs. Mist said bluntly, "We are also looking for a safe route to the sixteenth floor and we have found it. But now we have encountered a problem."

"Ok?"

As soon as Ji Xun heard this opening, he knew what she meant.

Mrs. Mist said, "We had thought about coming down before, so we left 'blood marks' on the bodies of the eighth-level monsters that attacked the camp. After all, the eighth-level monsters are definitely more familiar with this dead zone than humans. In a sense, the risks of the path they dare to take are controllable, at least there are no ninth-level monsters."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

It turns out that their method is not the only one they have, the vampires also have their own method.

Even Ji Xun felt that this method of tracking monsters was reliable.

But then Mrs. Mist changed her tone and said, "But there is a problem. We found several routes, but the most suitable one has a very tricky eighth-level monster blocking the way. We can't deal with it. It's the [Underworld Peacock] you saw before. Although it is injured, the light of annihilation can break all spells, and we have no good way to deal with it."

The vampire Countess stated her purpose directly.

Although her charming face was looking at Ji Xun, her eyes glanced at Qin Rushi vaguely, and then said: "My Lord Prince said that you might have a way, brother."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he immediately realized that Xie Guozhong might know Qin Rushi's situation.
