Cataclysm King

Chapter 51
Ji Xun carried the two of them along for a while, and stopped when they found a corner of the corridor where there were almost no monsters.

After putting down the two, he patted his old friend again.

Chu Jiu opened his eyes, surveyed the surrounding environment, saw that there were no skeleton monsters at all, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart: he was out of danger.

Sure enough, this guy finally figured out a way.

Ji Xun looked at the black blood on his back clothes, and casually reminded: "Your injury is serious."

It wasn't his blood, but it was infected by carrying this old friend.

Chu Jiu listened, but didn't want to talk about the cause of the injury, and just said lightly: "Yes."

She had been running away just now and didn't have time to deal with her injuries. Now that she had time to breathe, she turned her head to look at her back, then took out a potion, and poured it on top, sizzling with corrosive gas.

It seemed to be in great pain, and her movements froze for a moment.

Looking at her dejected mood, Ji Xun never guessed that the person who could give her such a slap in the back must be a very trustworthy person.

The injuries that can keep her in this silver-haired state are bound to be severe.

But Ji Xun has no penchant for spying on people's privacy.

People are willing to speak and listen.

Don't say it, it's over.

The two have a basic understanding, and there is no need to say more.

At this time, the psychic named Nan Jing also woke up.

She woke up like a nightmare.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he bounced up deftly and scanned his surroundings very vigilantly.

Seeing that his companion Chu Jiu was safe and sound, Nan Jing put down the cards in his hand.

The linen cloak was lifted when he was carrying it on the road before, and Ji Xun realized that it was a black-haired girl with a ball head.

The gas mask blocked her face, but she was not very old when she heard the voice, her eyes were bright, and her facial features were not bad.

The most eye-catching thing is that her figure is very predictable.

Even a loose adventure tactical suit can't hide the majestic size of her chest.

This is a mature figure completely inconsistent with her cute ball head.

Ji Xun just had a special impression, but he didn't have any other thoughts.

As if waking up from a dream, Nan Jing asked Chu Jiu next to him blankly, "Sister Chu Jiu, where are we?"

She remembered that she seemed to be attacked mentally just now, and then suddenly fell into a coma.

Woke up and came here.

Chu Jiu didn't respond to this kind of question that she didn't know, but just reminded: "Xiao Nan, this gentleman saved us."

"???"

Hearing this, Nan Jing looked over suspiciously, as if thinking about the meaning of this sentence: saved us?

With this thought, it seemed that the fragmented thoughts were clear again.

correct.

I was running just now!

What about those endless skeletons?

Nan Jing looked around and found that there were no monsters around the corridor.

The doubt in her eyes instantly turned into unconfident, is she really out of danger?
Ji Xun looked at the psychic lady as if her nerves were a little sluggish, with a smile in her eyes.

The psychic lady seemed to have not recovered her thoughts, her big eyes blinked and blinked, and the words "Am I still in a coma and dreaming" were written on her face.

Chu Jiu was also accustomed to his companion's slow reaction, and reminded him a little helplessly: "Xiao Nan, you should say 'thank you'"

Thinking about the first time I discovered this guy's unbelievable ability to break the game in 407, why didn't I also be in such a dazed state from time to time.

But before he finished speaking, the injuries in his body surged, and Chu Jiu's expression changed instantly.

Although he wanted to endure it, the spicy taste came up in his throat suddenly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before receiving heavy injuries and fighting all the way, the injuries are already very serious.

On the ninth day of the ninth day, he quickly activated the spell power to suppress it.

Nan Jing on the side also looked panicked, and hurried over to help deal with the injury.

Without the threat of the tide of monsters, the sense of crisis also temporarily receded.

Nan Jingjing's brain just finished processing the information just now. While preparing medical tools, he said gratefully to Ji Xun: "Thank you, Mr., for saving me and Chu Jiu just now. You can call me Nan Jing."

Now she has figured it out, if the person in front of her was really malicious just now, there is no need to do anything, they are all in danger.

Nature is not the enemy.

As she said that, she apologized again: "I'm sorry, it was because of that."

She wanted to say something, but she seemed to feel betrayed by her companions, and she couldn't say that kind of family scandal.

Confused for a while.

Ji Xun didn't take it seriously at all, he smiled politely, and introduced himself: "Ji Xun."

After this conversation, the three fell into a brief silence.

Nan Jing didn't have time to say more, he was concentrating on treating the wound on Chu Jiu's back.She used scissors to cut off the clothes on Chu Jiu's back, revealing a fist-sized wound that was emitting black smoke.

Only then did Ji Xun realize that his old friend's injury was more serious than what he saw.

The way Nan Jing treated the wound was obviously very professional. Instead of pouring medicine roughly, she took out surgical tools to debride the wound.

Her husband cautiously cut off the piece of carrion that was emitting thick black smoke from the wound.

After cutting, the wound was carefully washed with water.

Then he took out a green card. After activation, the green hexagram on the card lit up with a green light representing life, lingering around the wound.

At this time, she began to stitch carefully.

The whole healing process involves cutting and suturing, which is painful to watch.

But Chu Jiu remained silent, her eyes dim.

Ji Xun watched the whole treatment process.

Chu Jiu's injury was not only a trauma, but also a kind of dark energy erosion of the fire system.

It is very troublesome to deal with, medicine alone is not enough.

Without the suppression of the ice spell, the cut flesh immediately burned to charcoal, and the strange dark fire energy even corroded the scalpel black.

This made Nanjing have to change several scalpels halfway.

Even Ji Xun was terrified when he saw it.

If this weird injury were for an ordinary person, he would have died on the spot long ago.

Obviously, the person who plotted against Chu Jiu was well aware of her ice magic power and used restraint.

Familiar with her abilities, she can also sneak attack. The one who did it was a very trusted companion.

Ji Xun thought of something.

But he was not in a hurry to talk.

He closed his eyes and meditated, waiting for them to heal their wounds.

Not long after, Nan Jing stitched up the wound.

Only then did the power of the cold demon in Chu Jiu gradually fade away.

The three of them didn't communicate much.

Ji Xun and Chu Jiu are used to the way of getting along peacefully without speaking for a long time.

But Nan Jing always felt that the atmosphere was a bit too deserted, so she couldn't help but wondered: "Mr. Ji Xun, how did you keep those skeletons from chasing us just now?"

Ji Xun didn't want to explain too much, but thinking that he might encounter trouble later, he also said: "The trigger method of the skeleton monster's hatred is the fluctuation of sanity value. Don't be afraid, don't be excited, just try to suppress the fluctuation as much as possible."

"Huh? That's it?"

Nan Jing has been to this maze before, how could he not know this.

But how can a normal person have no mood swings at all?

"."

Ji Xun didn't want to explain too much, and naturally he didn't mention the clown mask.

He can trust Chu Jiu, but it doesn't mean he can trust other people.

Chu Jiu saw that Ji Xun didn't want to say more, so he interrupted his companion's curiosity at the right time, and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, what are we going to do now?"

Ji Xun said: "Wait."

Chu Jiu seems to have gotten used to this kind of jumping thinking. After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood and nodded: "Yeah."

Listening to Chu Jiu's interrupt, Nan Jing seemed to have forgotten what he was going to ask just now.

As soon as the two of them talked about the next arrangement, they pricked up their ears.

Originally, I thought that this mysterious "Mr. Ji Xun" would have some detailed arrangements.

But listen, the conversation between the two just started, and then it ended?

The psychic lady instantly felt that her brain was not enough. She turned her head to look at Chu Jiu, then at Ji Xun, her eyes widened like copper bells, and there were big question marks written all over her face.

That's it?

What are you waiting for?
Hey Hey hey.
You should make it clear.

These two guys seem to be playing charades, so let's not talk about it?

Nan Jing was still thinking about the question just now, and he didn't realize that he had been staring at it for a long time.

Ji Xun was a little bit dumbfounded by the job-seeking gaze cast by the psychic lady.

Chujiu's companion seemed a little silly and cute.

But it's not surprising to think about it.

Because I have cooperated with Chujiu before, there is more or less a tacit understanding.

It's normal for others not to be able to keep up with that kind of brain circuit.

Just met Nan Jing's deputy doctor, and it's not completely a drag, so Ji Xun said one more thing: "Wait until the Cao family is dead before acting. Otherwise, they will scurry around in the maze and bring A lot of unanticipated risks."

Hearing this, Nan Jing's face was suddenly stunned, and he murmured to himself: "So that's how it is."

The three fell into a brief silence again.

At this time, thinking of something, Ji Xun also asked: "By the way, Miss Nanjing, why are you in the maze? Did you blow up the train outside?"

He didn't know if this problem had anything to do with this ambush, but he couldn't figure it out, and he always felt that something was missing.

Ji Xun knew this and asked Chu Jiu, but she would answer.

But it may touch topics she doesn't want to mention, such as who was stabbed in the back.

And asking her companion, obviously can get more information.

Ji Xun was really curious why they were involved in the murder against Governor Cao's family.

Hearing the question, Nan Jing glanced at Chu Jiu, and saw that he didn't speak, which meant he could speak by default.

She responded directly: "No. It was another group of looters who bombed the train. We just heard that there was a batch of medical supplies on this train. It happened that we needed those things, so we came to have a look. I didn't want to be involved gone."

"Oh."

When Ji Xun heard this, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that they were the fourth party force except the Golden Oak, the Governor's Mansion, and the Marauders.

The need for a large amount of medical supplies means that there is a big force behind them.

But it's such a coincidence that if you get involved, you will be plotted against by your companions?

This made Ji Xun unavoidably suspect that the person who wanted to kill Chu Jiu belonged to the forces behind her, and was directly related to the black hand behind the plot to murder Governor Cao.

Even being trapped in the maze is still not at ease, and even arranges for the dead to do it.

Ji Xunxin said: "In this way, Chu Jiu's identity is even more special."

Thoughts were spinning in his mind, and the outline of the whole conspiracy had gradually become clear.

Think about it now.

All kinds of rumors in the city before, such as the treasure in the hands of the Cao family, the reward for assassination, etc., seemed to be spread deliberately by someone.

It was all to force Governor Cao Sihai to feel that his life was in danger in Innocence City.

Then came the plan to sneak out of town on a converted freight train.

It just so happened that the looters got the news that there were supplies on the train and blew up the tracks.

And the fourth party, Chujiu, also knew that there were medical supplies in the car, so they took a look at the situation and disposed of them together.

Kill many birds with one stone.

Borrowing a knife to kill people has been played to the extreme.

There is no need for the behind-the-scenes person to show up in person during the whole process, or even a single soldier.

Just relying on a few wrong news, let several forces participate, this method can be said to be brilliant.

Ji Xun also became interested.

Just the aftermath of the incident will inevitably lead to the death of many people in Innocence City.

And he always felt that the assassination of governor Cao Sihai seemed to be the beginning of this storm.

But this has nothing to do with Ji Xun.

He likes to be lively.

But I prefer to hide in the dark and watch other people's excitement.

To have a master like Chu Jiu, the background of the "fourth party force" is not easy.

Ji Xun didn't try to pry into Chu Jiu's identities.

Sorry, it's not necessary.

As long as it's not an enemy, it doesn't matter what it is.

At this time, Chu Jiu was also afraid that his stupid and cute companion said something that shouldn't be said, so he took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Ji Xun, you just said that you met the [Keeper of Secrets] before?"

Ji Xun nodded: "Yes."

After saying this, both Chu Jiu and Nan Jing cast curious eyes, "What kind of disaster is that? Can it be resolved?"

Speaking of monsters, Ji Xun thought of the previous glance, and the feeling that made the soul tremble in his heart was still clear.

"It's tricky."

He frowned slightly, and said: "S-level disasters are immortal, and there are still a lot of them. Don't consider head-on encounters if it is not necessary."

"."

Hearing this, Chu Jiu's expression immediately became serious.

She is well aware of the "tricky" weight.

Back then in the 407 space, Ji Xun didn't even say a tricky adjective for those horrible A-level disasters.

But now, he has spoken out.

In other words, this disaster is absolutely invincible.

Chu Jiu looked over again: "So?"

Ji Xun understood what she asked, and replied, "Solve the riddle."

"Ah."

Chu Jiu turned her eyes and understood what he said.

The conversation between the two ended in a few words.

Nan Jing, who listened with pricked ears, froze again: Gone again?
Obviously, the brain circuit of this psychic lady is not as fast as Chujiu, and she doesn't have that kind of tacit understanding.

She just heard [Keeper of Secrets], and she felt that she had grasped the key point.

Ah!
This time, I must listen carefully to the information.

Analysis analysis.

Then think about how to solve the maze according to the clues.

But I never thought about it, didn't listen to a few words, and it's gone again!
The expression under Nanjing's gas mask was extremely rich at the moment.

She glanced at Chu Jiu, then at the guy with the same zombie expression as her, and muttered in her heart: Can't you guys say a few more words?

The key is.
I didn't understand!
Nan Jing felt that if he asked, he would look stupid.

She could only quietly ask something else: "Sister Chu Jiu, how did you know each other?"

She and Chu Jiu are the closest partners, but she has never met Ji Xun, nor heard her talk about it, which is very strange.

As if it came out of nowhere.

"This"

Chu Jiu listened and wanted to explain.

But when the words came to his lips, he stopped again.

The matter of 407 is very sensitive, even if it is the best friend.

After all, this matter is not only about her own life, but also the life and death of others.

And Ji Xun is not interested in talking about this topic, and has no intention of answering it.

But when the two of them didn't speak, the atmosphere became very delicate.

Chu Jiu looked at Nan Jing's increasingly weird eyes, and finally couldn't help but say: "Mr. Ji Xun is a trustworthy friend. He saved my life."

"Oh?"

Nan Jing listened, and sure enough, he stopped a lot.

But I couldn't help but be curious.

If I'm not mistaken, the person in front of me is probably an apprentice spell card master?
What ability does he have to save Chu Jiu?
Ji Xun didn't want to start a conversation at first, but after hearing Chu Jiu's words, he shook his head slightly: "Miss Chu Jiu is too polite."

He chose to save people just now, not only because of the role of Chujiu's "Humanoid Radar".

More importantly, return her favor within the scope of ability.

Ji Xun can shoot and blow other people's heads without any fluctuations in his heart, so he is not a good person.

But not ungrateful either.

Human favor, once contaminated, does not mean that it will be settled after paying it back.

It's like borrowing money, even if the money is paid back, the favor is still there.

Not to mention that in the 407 space, Xun would not be able to live without Chujiuji.

Even after he came out, without Chu Jiu's support, he would not have survived until now.

This life-saving grace is not small.

But after speaking, Ji Xun didn't say any more.

He didn't want to be hypocritical about this kind of thing, and turned to the real thing: "By the way, Miss Chu Jiu, do you still have the information found in the safe?"

"exist."

Chu Jiu knew very well that the other party must need this thing when asked.

After speaking, she directly took out a stack of documents.

Ji Xun was not too polite. He took the information, lit the lamp, and sat down to read it.

While he is free now, he will also see if he can translate some.

After all, judging from the information obtained in the previous adventurer's diary, it seems that if you want to leave this maze, you must decipher a secret room with Tarun's ancient text.

It is also beneficial to get acquainted with it early.

Seeing him flipping through those classics like this, Chu Jiu didn't ask him what he wanted to do.

In the previous 407 cooperation, Ji Xun made some preparations that were incomprehensible at first.

But the result is that every time is a key means to break the game.

But although she didn't ask much, she was really curious, what is the use of these materials?

Also, this is the ancient language of Tarun, not many of the polymaths in Dragon City are proficient, can he understand it?

The straightforward Nan Jing didn't think about it that much. She glanced at the densely packed ancient text on the file and asked directly: "Mr. Ji Xun, are you a carder of the 'Sequence of Wisdom'?"

"No."

Ji Xun didn't look up, and responded casually.

He continued to flip through the materials, recalling as much as possible what he had translated in Space 407.

Hearing this, Nan Jing was surprised and said, "Ah, can you understand these ancient Chinese?"

Ji Xun shook his head decisively: "I don't understand."

"???"

Hearing this, Nan Jing was obviously stunned for three seconds.

Even Chu Jiu cast very surprised eyes.

Although she has no doubts about Ji Xun's ability to decipher, but what does it mean that she can't understand the data at all, and still holds the data to read it?
Nan Jing couldn't help being curious, and asked directly: "Then what are you?"

Ji Xun didn't hide anything, and said calmly, "Learn now."

Nanjing: "."

Ninth day: "."

Hearing this, the corners of the two girls' eyes twitched inexplicably.

I thought he knew the ancient language of Tarun before.

Understand at least a little.

But this temporary study, no matter how you look at it, you think it is unreliable, okay?
Chu Jiu was surprised for a moment, and understood something.

It should be to recall the content of the enlightenment reminder at the beginning, and combine it to translate ancient Chinese?

This seems impossible, right?

But Chujiu had an inexplicable feeling that it was impossible for others, but this guy might be able to do it.

She waved away those scattered thoughts, since she didn't have the idea to break the situation, she left this kind of thing to those who are capable.

Chu Jiu closed his eyes and fell into meditation.

As for the psychic lady, her eyes were deeply suspicious.

But Ji Xun didn't pay any attention to her meaning, and carefully studied the information on his own, with the ability of photographic memory, he quickly immersed himself in it.

The two girls in the ninth day of junior high school didn't bother anymore.

In a flash, the three of them stayed in the maze for three full days.

　Thank you for the support of 'Marshal Sima' 2000, 'GT Royal Soul' 500, 'Dr.wy' 400, '2019021583557457', thank you.
