Cataclysm King

Chapter 507: Mutated Demonic Spider Lord
Ji Xun also didn't expect to see the Nan family's psychic mark on [Dark Peacock].

And the peacock that had transformed into a human form never expected that the humans in front of her who had almost killed her before would actually take out the psychic mark that made her blood instinctively feel familiar?

My ancestors did sign a contract with humans.

But it’s been a very long time.

It's so long ago that it no longer has any relevant memories.

However, this happens to be an ancient divine bloodline protection contract. As long as the bloodlines of both parties are passed down, this contract will continue.

At the same time as he saw the mark of the contract on the scroll, the memories hidden in the inheritance of the Dark Peacock bloodline also quietly revived.

She knows what this means.

Certain behaviors and consciousness are also quietly influenced by the power of the contract.

The scroll was given by Nan Jing, and it has the Nan family's divine runes and spiritual imprints on it.

This is equivalent to an identity token. At least the spiritual object can clearly identify the origin of the divine pattern on the scroll.

Ji Xun watched the petal mark on the forehead of the Dark Peacock become brighter and brighter, and the confused and hesitant look in its eyes. He also knew that the other party really recognized the divine pattern of the Nan family, and their blood resonated.

this.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

There was a lot of fighting just now, but now I can't do anything anymore.

Since Ji Xun had guessed the origin of the peacock, he certainly wouldn't kill the suspected Nan family's spiritual creature just for some materials.

Since they didn't take any action, the Dark Peacock also fell into hesitation.

Although it did not have a good impression of the humans in front of it who wanted to kill it, the resonance in its blood instantly diluted the endless hatred.

Qin Rushi and Mrs. Mist, who were standing by, saw this scene and vaguely understood something.

They looked at Ji Xun with strange expressions, and all felt that it seemed too much of a coincidence.

There's no point in staying in this stalemate.

Ji Xun thought about it, then casually took out a [Beast Language General Knowledge] spell card and activated it.

This is the spell that the tamer uses to communicate with the monsters. The more intelligent the monster is, the easier it is to communicate.

Ji Xun used his mental power to convey his meaning: "This may be a misunderstanding. Um... how should I call you? Is there a spiritual mark of the Nan family on your forehead? I have a good friend who is the heir of the Nan family."

Explain it. If it is a misunderstanding, see if you can clear it up.

In his opinion, if they could really communicate, it would be a great benefit.

Although the top-level materials that were about to be obtained were lost, with such a Warcraft lord here, are you still afraid of not being able to find the materials in the dead zone?

I don’t know if the peacock understood or not, its expression became complicated and hesitant.

I was almost killed before, there is no way I can forget this grudge;
But the memory in its blood was revived, and it knew what the psychic mark was.

Before the three men and the peacock could confront each other, something unexpected happened.

Without any warning, an invisible ripple appeared in the air.

Dark Peacock sensed the spreading spiritual pollution and was suddenly startled.

She seemed to remember at this moment that this was a trap it had set to kill several humans.

Ji Xun immediately understood what the other party wanted to express in that moment of staring at each other: some powerful monster is about to come out!

Qin Rushi and Mrs. Mist, who were beside them, noticed something unusual and became alert immediately.

But although they were alert, the three of them didn't actually feel there was any fatal threat.

After all, this is the lair of the [Hellish Human-Faced Demon Spider]. If there are any tricky monsters here, it is most likely the Demon Spider Lord.

Whether it is the seventh level or the eighth level, there will be no problem if the three of them join forces.

However, the reality is more dangerous than expected.

Ji Xun was about to say something when he saw a trace of struggle on the beautiful face of [Dark Peacock] in front of him.

Then, she just...disappeared out of thin air!
"Disappeared?"

Ji Xun took a look at the situation in front of him and found that the person was indeed missing.

I didn't sense any spatial fluctuations, nor any magical fluctuations related to invisibility, and [Underworld Peacock] can't become invisible.

"what's the situation?"

Even Ji Xun didn't understand why the peacock suddenly disappeared.

He turned to look at Qin Rushi and Mrs. Mist beside him, and they didn't understand at all.

In a blink of an eye, the three of them were looking at a cave full of spider webs.

The expressions of the three people became more and more serious, as if some terrifying existence was about to emerge from the darkness.

It seems like whatever you think will come true.

In an instant, a terrifying aura swept through the entire space.

Although they had not seen the monster in the darkness yet, the terrifying pressure had already made the three of them feel suffocated.

Ji Xun looked at him with wide eyes: "God level? You can't be so unlucky."

He felt the terrifying pressure, which was surprisingly the same as the soul summoned by the Holy Son of Heavenly Dragon before, which made his divine power tremble.

Turning around, Qin Rushi and Mrs. Mist were equally shocked.

They didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying creature in the nest of a hell spider.

Really bad luck?

This Death Realm is full of God-level beings?
As the situation took a turn for the worse, the three were forced into a desperate situation.

If it was really that kind of enemy, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Ji Xun always felt that something was wrong.

But I couldn’t tell where that weird feeling came from.

After exchanging a glance with the two women, the three of them were ready for a fight to the death.

However, just before the fierce battle, a "rotating rune gyroscope" mysteriously appeared in front of Ji Xun.

"What is this?"

Ji Xun stared at the gyroscope for a moment, and the runes on it suddenly broke into his mind.

The next moment, consciousness seemed like a conditioned reflex, and countless thoughts flooded into my mind.

He immediately understood: I was under an illusion!

This spinning top is an ability acquired after reaching Lv3 of the "I am the World" realm. It is the manifestation of the spell [Anchor of Consciousness] in the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

Like lines, anchoring thoughts and real bodies!
Ji Xun had fallen into illusions many times before, so he had always been prepared.

He set up many [Anchors of Consciousness].

Just to deal with some common mental intrusions.

For example: dream stealing, fear, joy, greed.
Once you fall into the false illusion created by the enemy's mind, the "spinning top" you trained on before will appear, making you realize that you have fallen into an illusion.

"I was actually under an illusion?"

Ji Xun was very surprised to see the gyroscope being activated.

He has now comprehended the divine power; his mental strength and soul are extremely stable, and it is impossible for him to be affected by ordinary illusions.

After being hit, the spell-casting top was enough to wake him up.

But now, the gyroscope is still hanging in the air before my eyes, spinning non-stop.

When Ji Xun saw this, his expression suddenly became serious, and he realized that something was wrong: "How could the grade of this illusion be so high?"

The fact that his own methods failed to break the illusion meant that the level of the illusion was very high.

It is most likely not an eighth-level, but a ninth-level illusion!

"Is the Hell Man-Faced Demon Spider Lord in this lair a ninth-level one?"

While Ji Xun was surprised, he also vaguely understood what was going on.

It should be that the Dark Peacock lured them here before, and wanted to use this Demon Spider Lord to kill them.

But it shouldn’t be!

Along the way, the highest level of the demon spiders in this nest was only level six.

According to the normal reproduction rules of the Warcraft tribe, the lord monster is most likely level seven, at most level eight.

How is it possible to perform a ninth-level illusion?
Could it be that it relied on external objects, or that the monsters mutated?
Ji Xun couldn't figure out what was going on.

But the facts are right in front of us.

He turned his head to look at Qin Rushi and Mrs. Mist, and the two women also disappeared.

This scene made him 100% certain that he was under an illusion.

If you don't find a way to wake up, there is a high possibility that you will be in fatal danger.

"Hey, the monsters in the dead zone really can't be underestimated. I hope I can break this illusion before I become food for the monsters."

It is not to be underestimated, but it is indeed hard to guard against being hit.

Ji Xun exhaled a breath, and his thoughts became clearer. He began to try various methods.

The first step is to find the logical flaws in this fantasy world, and then find a way to make yourself "awake" in the real world. This is the conventional method.

With Ji Xun's current logical reasoning ability, he had no doubt that he could break this illusion.

But the trouble is, time.

This is a Warcraft lair, and the monsters won't wait for him to break in.

Just when Ji Xun and the other two were caught in the illusion, the space was originally filled with spider webs.

The feathered woman who is the incarnation of the Dark Peacock has already hidden in a secret corner.

It has the blood talent of the Divine Light of Annihilation, so it is not worried about the human-faced demon spider lord.

When I came here before, I originally wanted to attract a few humans and then kill them with the help of the Demon Spider Lord.

But in this situation, it seems that the human being has a close relationship with the psychic master of his own clan.

The mysterious power of the contract made it very reluctant to even think about killing that human.

Seeing the spider silk sealing the cave, the huge figure crawled out from the depths of the cave, and a trace of struggle appeared on Peacock's face.

Do you want to save this human?
If it were in its heyday, it wouldn't be so contradictory.

After all, although the Demon Spider Lord is powerful, he is not afraid of him at all.

But now he was seriously injured.

If a fight really broke out in this lair, he would be in extremely dangerous situation. "Why should I save that human? They almost killed me before!"

The peacock wanted to convince himself, but his flickering eyes showed that he was not at peace.

Seeing that the huge spider lord had appeared in sight, there was no time to hesitate.

Peacock's mind was still confused, but he finally appeared in front of the human who had fallen into the illusion.

However, just as she started to help clear a strand of spider silk, she suddenly saw the closed eyes of the human in front of her open!
Ji Xun also thought it was a coincidence.

Originally, the ninth-level illusion was not so easy to break.

But as he searched, he was surprised to find that the structure of the illusion was very familiar.

Isn’t this the Moon God illusion of the Silver Moon Sect?
Although illusions constructed with fear are different from joyful dreams, the principles are exactly the same.

Ji Xun had learned the tricks of Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasures", in the city of Tailong in the East Wasteland before, and now he had read the "Silver Moon Secret Book" to pieces.

Coincidentally, the dream structure just now is recorded in ancient books.

If it were someone else, even if they knew the principle, they would still be trapped because the illusion structure of this level is extremely complicated.

But what is even more coincidental is that the visualization secret technique that Ji Xun practiced is also the Silver Moon Secret Technique.

This exempted him from most mental pollution and made it easy for him to find patterns.

And at a certain moment, he clearly felt that someone in reality helped him.

A big flaw suddenly appeared in his spiritual world. He immediately seized the opportunity and woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful face and a slightly panicked look.

Ji Xun looked at the Dark Peacock in front of him and saw no hostility.

He also instantly guessed the flaw in the illusion just now, and it must be that she was helping him.

Hmm. It seems that this Lord of Hell recognized the Nan family's token.

Ji Xun's expression was also slightly complicated.

Thinking about how he almost killed the guy before, he felt a little guilty.

But before he could think about it, the shadow of an immortal appeared behind Qin Rushi, who was not far away from him, and he also woke up.

Mrs. Mist still stood there in a daze, obviously still in a dream.

Ji Xun glanced at Qin Rushi, their eyes met, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

But they also saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Qin Ru is blessed by the ancestral spirits and is unlikely to fall into any magic spell.

But I still got caught.

This means that the monster's rank is very high!

After instantly understanding each other's meaning, the two looked cautiously towards the far end of the cave.

In the field of vision, a huge demon spider the size of a three-story building crawled out from the ceiling.

This is actually the Hell-Faced Demon Spider Lord in this nest!

This demon spider has shed half of its beastly body, and on top of the huge spider body is the form of a seductive woman with her upper body naked.

That absolutely beautiful face made people feel as if there were countless double images, which was a manifestation of the extremely strong mental power.

Seeing that they were on guard, it wasn't so easy for the two to fall into the trap.

Feeling the pressure from the monster, Ji Xun heaved a sigh of relief and thought, "Eighth level? Fragments of the Godhead?"

Eighth level
Although it is one level higher than expected, it is not a big problem.

And as soon as he saw the glowing thorny red crystals on the spider's abdomen, he immediately understood everything.

They had seen that crystal core before in the Blackwater Swamp.

The [Spine Dragon Python Lord] mutated because of this fragment of the divine nature.

The illusion is so powerful because of this fragment of the divine nature.

Moreover, when Ji Xun looked at the half-human, half-spider form, he understood why that illusion world was the illusion of the Moon Goddess.

Isn't this half-human, half-spider image the divine body of Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasure"?

Ji Xun had seen the appearance of the Moon Goddess sacrificed by the demons in "The Third Holy Grail War: Outpost Battle", and it was exactly the same as the Spider Lord in front of him!
Seeing this, he also understood that the Moon God that the [Plum Blossom Q-Moonlight Queen] sequence pointed to might not be an acquired form, but that He was originally a god-level figure among the Human-Faced Demon Spiders of Hell!

"I see."

Ji Xun figured everything out and smiled with relief.

Since this spider's mental illusion is of little use to him, it doesn't pose much of a threat.

There were so many thoughts in my mind, but reality only passed in a moment.

Ji Xun just glanced at the Spider Lord, then retracted his gaze and looked at the Peacock in front of him who seemed a little at a loss.

Think about it, he communicated with his mind: "Thank you."

"."

Peacock looked a little embarrassed.

She didn't want to save this human.

But the fact is, it really happened.

And what's even more embarrassing is,
She then realized that even if she didn't help, these humans would not be trapped and killed by the illusion.

At the same time, a thought that she didn't want to admit popped up in her mind: I'm glad that I didn't do it before.

Otherwise, if the Demon Spider Lord fails to kill the three people, she herself will surely die.

Ji Xun couldn't say much because at this time, the Demon Spider Lord had already rushed over.

Qin Rushi quickly woke up Mrs. Mist who was in a trance.

The vampire lord looked at the situation in the cave and realized belatedly that he had been under an illusion.

She immediately transformed into a vampire with a green face and fangs.

The three of them looked at the Demon Spider Lord in front of them and attacked together without any hesitation.

A fierce battle immediately broke out in the cave.

The three of them did not hold back at all and used all their means.

Qin Rushi is a god descending from heaven with one hand and a fairy with the other, and he is extremely domineering;

Ji Xun's punch was like a cannon, and the whole cave was rumbling.

Mrs. Mist transformed into countless small bats sucking blood from the huge spider body
The three of them joined forces and defeated the Spider Lord.

Although this is also an eighth-level mutant lord, its methods are much inferior to those of the Holy Son of Heavenly Dragon encountered before.

Whether it's toxins, spider webs, or mental pollution, although fatal to the three of them, it's still acceptable.

It was still a thrilling battle, but the three of them felt that it was much easier to deal with than Cheresa, who could cast divine powers with just a wave of his hand.

As long as they can break through the defense, the Spider Lord will not be able to kill the three of them, and the result will inevitably be that the three of them will kill the lord.

As the only spectator, Ming Kongque had a very interesting expression on his face when watching this scene.

He clearly wanted to kill these humans through the hands of this evil neighbor.

But now it seems that I was just overthinking it.

Only then did she realize that these three people had not used their full strength when they dealt with her before.

At least, she never expected that the human who took out the Nan family's token would be so powerful.

“Swish, swish, swish”

The Spider Lord wanted to summon his minions for help, but Ji Xun was the only one who could do it.

The sharp flying knives were stirring in the cave like a metal tornado.

There were corpses all over the ground.

Qin Ru was swinging his sword in front of him.
Mrs. Mist's blood sucking ability became stronger and stronger, and she even healed her previous injuries.
The more the three fought, the more eager they became to fight.

The Spider Lord knew he was no match for his opponent, so he fought while running away into the depths of the cave.

This spider cave is obviously an ancient relic.

As we go deeper, we find more and more traces of human activities around the cave.

Just looking at the degree of weathering, it is even older than the remains of the Alterac civilization from more than 100,000 years ago.

After all, this cave is the secret passage leading to the sixteenth floor on the map. Ji Xun guessed that it might be related to the mysterious ruins.

But gradually, he also discovered some problems.

The elements around the cave are becoming more and more dense
Ji Xun knew that the Spider Lord must have some purpose in escaping to this depth.

He vaguely felt that it might be dangerous to continue pursuing.

Qin Rushi and Mrs. Mist certainly noticed this as well.

But this was an eighth-level mutant monster lord after all, with a very thick health bar, and because of the mutation, it had a very strong self-healing ability. So even if the three of them fought with all their might, the demon spider wanted to escape, and they were completely unable to stop it.

If the ground was flat, if we continued chasing, we would eventually kill the Demon Spider Lord.

But this is the dead zone.

It is possible that the Demon Spider Lord intends to lead them to a dangerous place.

However, just when Ji Xun and the other two felt that something was increasingly wrong and were hesitating whether to continue their pursuit.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

A dense beam of divine light feathers of annihilation shot out from behind him and accurately hit the Spider Lord's body.

Ling Yu had the ability to break any magic and easily penetrated the poisonous field that Ji Xun and the other two had to deal with carefully.

It hit the seventh vertebra of Spider-Man's body exactly.

Originally, the wound was insignificant to the huge body of the Demon Spider Lord, but perhaps it hit a vital weak point, the body of the Demon Spider suddenly stagnated, and a gap appeared in its magic power.

Qin Rushi found the right opportunity and cut off Mozhu's head with one sword.

Ji Xun looked back and found that the one who made the move was the Dark Peacock.

Peacock looked at the three humans' gazes directed at him, and there was not much strange expression on his cold face.

But she also didn't want the humans to misunderstand that she was trying to save them, so she finally used her mental power to communicate with Ji Xun: "If you keep chasing her and wake up the one in the elemental waterfall below, we will all die here."
