Cataclysm King

Chapter 56 [X-711-Spell Pot]

Getting close to the box didn't indicate any danger, but Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless.

He tilted his head and asked Chu Jiu who was beside him: "Can this box be opened?"

This kind of thing is beyond his current understanding, it is better to ask someone with knowledge.

Chu Jiu glanced at it, and said: "Well, the box is just an ordinary box. The catastrophe is not so easy to be destroyed. It should be able to be opened."

Ji Xun was relieved after hearing this.

Since it is a trophy, it must be taken away.

But it is impossible to just take this box out, otherwise, if someone else sees it, disaster will happen instantly.

And all three of them were very curious about what was inside.

The box had a simple lock, and Ji Xun took out the master key, and heard a "click" soon after.

It was this sound, even the eyes of Chu Jiu and Nan Jing trembled for a moment.

The contents of this box are too mysterious, and all three of them are looking forward to it.

Ji Xun restrained his thoughts, carefully checked that there were no organs, and then opened it.

I thought there would be something special inside.

But at first glance, it turned out to be a clay pot slightly bigger than a fist?

It looked like an ordinary clay pot, dusty.

But if you look closely, you will find that there are dense pocket spells on the entire clay pot.Those mysterious lines are like chains, sealing the pot tightly.

At first glance, it is unremarkable, but the more you look closely, the more simple and mysterious it is.

Enlightenment manifests itself in subtle ways.

【X-711-Mysterious Pottery Pot】

Detailed explanation: the cataclysmic item numbered 'X-711'; it can be exempted from all curses that are not higher than the level of the law of the artifact itself;
Ji Xun now knows that the content displayed by the enlightenment is related to his own cognition.

The pot was immune to curses, an effect they had seen.

It does not mean that it only has this single effect.

The higher the level of items, the more hidden information that cannot be pryed into.

Before the ninth day of the ninth day, there was speculation that this guy was carrying it in his hand but not in the storage ring, so there was a high probability that it was some special item that could not be contained.

This kind of ancient relic that cannot be contained has a specific name-catastrophe.

Usually, this kind of thing has some magical effect.

Ji Xun looked very curious, and said, "This is a cataclysmic object? But what does this number mean?"

This is a high-end topic that people at the bottom have no access to.

Chu Jiu obviously knew these secrets, and explained: "X stands for 'Bureau X', a mysterious department of the Federation. The number of the catastrophe. The cataclysm is not necessarily an artifact, it may be energy, rules, monsters, viruses, divinity... or other strange existences. Once discovered, it is generally difficult to understand its specifics in a short time The federation usually uses this number to name and distinguish.”

Hearing this, Ji Xun thought about his [JOKER] card.

Once in the 407 Research Institute, it seems to be a source of catastrophe?

After a pause, Chu Jiu said again: "But what is certain is that the cataclysmic objects that cannot be contained are all relics of gods and demons. They all contain the power of top-level laws, pointing to some ultimate mystery of the universe that humans cannot control .”

When Ji Xun heard it, he didn't understand it.

Not to mention the ultimate mystery, just the full name of this "X Bureau" is very high-end.

He didn't ask Chu Jiu why he knew, but asked curiously, "There are more than 700 such cataclysmic objects in the federal shelter?"

Chu Jiu shook his head and said: "The exact number is unknown. This number has a history of many years. Some cataclysmic objects pointed to by the number have been lost, sealed, or no longer exist for other reasons. Some are not listed. But thousands of The accumulation over the years is indeed quite a lot.”

"I see."

Ji Xun also suddenly realized.

He also thought that this might be a version of the legend that has been everywhere in the city of innocence recently, the cataclysmic item obtained by the Cao family in the governor's mansion?
I thought it was someone deliberately spreading fake news, but I didn't think it was true.

But if you hadn't seen its function of resisting the curse of the keeper, it would be easy to ignore the value of this clay pot, maybe ignore it as a broken pot.

As for opening the crockpot?

After thinking about it, the idea was dispelled.

Not to mention that he didn't understand how to open the thing at all, even if he could, Ji Xun didn't dare for the time being.

The explanation before the ninth day of the ninth day is already very clear. Regardless of whether you understand what it is or not, this jar must be very high-end.

I don't know how to die randomly.

Now with the ability to block curses, it is already an "artifact" when used well.

After all, people didn't kill themselves, and Ji Xun didn't have the nerve to put things away.

Chu Jiu didn't seem to care at all.

Her mood has been very low.

After being backstabbed, he seemed to have no interest in anything.

The jar was placed in the secret room.

Ji Xun was not in a hurry to count the loot, but looked at the very fresh corpse and used the feast skill.

The corpse of the third-tier spell card master is the highest quality corpse that Ji Xun has encountered so far.

Its remaining supernatural properties are very strong, so naturally it cannot be wasted.

"You used the feast to devour, your physique +0.009"

"You used Feast Devour, Strength +0.016"

"You use Feast Devour, Ice Affinity +0.02"

"."

With this engulfment, the extraordinary characteristics are continuously integrated into the body.

No one else could see anything abnormal when using the feast skill. Ji Xun sat next to the corpse while devouring it, and then he was distracted to look at the carvings on the wall bricks above his head and around the secret room to find out the doorway.

Not long after, Nan Jing helped Chu Jiu heal the new injury, and she also started pondering the carvings in the secret room together.

But those symbols on the wall seemed to have another kind of magic that made people drowsy. After seeing it for a long time, my thoughts became muddled.

Nan Jing looked at it as if the symbols in the sky had come alive and ran about, already dizzy and dizzy, and said quietly: "It's strange, why do I feel that after looking at these symbols for a long time, it seems that a lot of things have been stuffed into my head, making me dizzy? "

Hearing this, Ji Xun also looked up at her.

Because he felt the same way himself.

I thought it was an illusion brought about by the depressing environment, but it turned out that other people also felt this way.

But I didn't see any negative status displayed by Enlightenment.

At this time, Chu Jiu thought of something and said, "It's normal. This is because the brain has been exposed to knowledge beyond cognition."

Nan Jing didn't know, so he asked, "Huh?"

Chu Jiu explained: "As far as I know, all the texts we know now come from the ancient demonic language. The older the civilization's text, the closer to the original meaning of the demonic language. And the Tarun ancient text is one of the demonic languages. A simplified version. These mysterious symbols are not only "shape", but the words themselves contain the "meaning" of the power of law. Skilled craftsmen can carve out the meaning of that mysterious level. Just like making cards 'Incantation', it is a magical text, and it is said to be a branch of some kind of high-level devil language."

"Oh?"

Ji Xun was also very surprised to hear this statement.

He had discovered this problem before.

Many of the symbols on the stone carvings in the secret room are obviously the same as those on the previous materials.

But to the naked eye, it seems to be different.

The symbols on the stone carvings are obviously much thicker, and it seems that a symbol seems to contain many deep meanings.

He didn't understand what was going on before, but after hearing this, he understood a little.

Just like the paintings of some masters, the information conveyed is not only the image, but also some artistic conception, which is difficult to describe.

Ji Xun is really interested in this and wants to know more.

But Chu Jiu looked at his gaze, and said with regret: "To understand that level of knowledge, you need a very high level of wisdom and awareness of laws. This is the [5 Wisdom] sequence of spell card masters. Things, I only know a little bit."

"Oh"

Ji Xun pondered for a while, and had a faint feeling.

Even if they see the same world, everyone sees different levels in their eyes.

But the thought drifted away, and then came back again.

How to solve the puzzle right now is the top priority.

Nan Jing felt that her brains were no longer enough, she clearly recognized the current situation, and probably had no hope of going out by herself.

She could only turn her head to glance at Ji Xun, and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, did you find anything?"

Ji Xun also shook his head and said: "At present, it seems that the clues prompted by this maze point to 30 laborers from beginning to end. I can only think that the exit of the maze is definitely related to laborers, but I have no clues yet. Find out where that connection should point."

Regardless of the spatial layout or the distribution of monsters, it is now almost certain that this secret room is the exit.

But he didn't think of a way to break the situation.

If you speak your mind, the three of you can discuss it.

Chujiu thought about it and came up with his own thoughts: "Labor? These carvings were carved by labor. Could the solution to the puzzle be hidden in the symbols? Or the murals outside?"

"Well. It's almost certainly this idea. But I don't see any precise clues so far. I may need to spend a little time to read all these contents slowly."

Ji Xun's tone was very calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest worry.

The most taboo thing about solving puzzles is to set up unnecessary interference for yourself.

The more flustered you are, the more it will affect your judgment.

"Ah."

Chu Jiu also nodded.

Without saying much, I raised my head to feel the dense carvings on the stone wall bricks.

The three stared at the carvings in the secret room and began to study.

Ji Xun also took the lamp and inspected almost every inch of the wall bricks carefully, even the details of the wall seams in every corner.

Time flies by unknowingly.

After about half a day, he had recorded all the symbols he saw in his mind.

But still no clues were found.

The great adventurer Yuri was stuck at this step.

Ji Xun felt as if he had fallen into the same predicament.

It was a bad feeling.

It's like being in a secret room, where everything is under control, but a key is missing.

But unfortunately, I can't find it.

He thought, if he couldn't find any more clues, he might have to take the risk of going to the corridor with the word "Hui" outside.

But his intuition told him that the most important clue was definitely in this secret room.

rather than outside.

Ji Xun's comprehension and puzzle-solving experience are clueless now, and it is even more difficult for others to find clues.

Chu Jiu on the side also fell into deep thought, and his frown was never loosened.

And it is even more obvious that this kind of complex mental activity is not suitable for a certain lady psychic with a ball head.

I've been watching it for half a day, and Nan Jing looks really groggy.

But she tried very hard to help, and never stopped.

While looking at it, Nan Jing thought to himself: "Ah, these symbols are so complicated. After a long time, they look like a maze. It makes me dizzy."

Although the chanting was very quiet, it could be heard clearly in the secret room.

"."

I am used to it early in the ninth day of the ninth day.

Ji Xun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.

This psychic lady has been thinking about it for a long time.
I didn't intend to pay attention to it.

But suddenly, it was this sentence, like a flash of lightning flashed in my mind.

Mazes, symbols?
Waking up like a dream, he softly drank: "I found the 'key'!"
