Cataclysm King

Chapter 77 The Holy Nail and the Mask

The battle of Golden Oak chasing the Silvermoon believers in the city is not over yet, and violent explosions can still be heard from time to time.

And Ji Xun had already robbed that batch of goods, and quietly came to a dilapidated building with no one there.

When I left just now, I was spotted by a few stalkers who didn't know where they came from. They chased him all the way, and finally got rid of him.

After observing the surrounding environment, Ji Xun put away the scalpel in his hand, and said to himself, "If I knew how to use poison, I wouldn't have to go through such trouble just now."

If he was severely paralyzed after being stabbed like he was the day he was stabbed, the old way of killing that "nigger" would not have been delayed for so long.

Only after the actual battle did I realize that this [Plague Doctor's Scalpel] is really easy to use.

A first-level spell card master pierces a bloody hole.

Then there is the paralytic toxin, which is simply a sharp weapon for the sinister.

However, "weapon poisoning" is also a professional skill.

Requires a certain level of proficiency and understanding of poisons to master safely.

Ji Xun is still not proficient at poisoning, so he didn't dare to smear things on the knife.

He had tried it before, and the moment the paralyzing toxin was poured out, the volatilized gas almost paralyzed him.

Not to mention smearing it on the knife and taking it at any time, maybe it didn't hurt the enemy, but hurt yourself first.

There are many aspects that need to be improved.

Ji Xun didn't think about those either.

Concentrating his thoughts, he found a place where he could move forward and retreat freely, and checked his previous gains.

The two storage rings were opened first, and it was confirmed that there was nothing to track and locate inside.

A set of soft leather armor used by assassins is not bad, it is the biggest reliance that the old road was not killed by the bomb just now.

But compared to Frost Knight's inner armor, it is also much worse, and it is also a bargain.

Only then did Ji Xun open the cloth bag, looking at the two most difficult trophies.

The amber-shaped brick is the very familiar [Secret Cause Spiritual Medium].

Looking at this thing, Ji Xun couldn't help feeling emotional: "Hey, it's probably the last piece."

I don't know how many pieces of this kind the Silver Moon Sect has.

But thinking of a stronghold is only one piece.

Certainly not many.

And he got three yuan alone.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like catching a sheep to pluck its wool, almost bald.

Now that the Silvermoon Sect's lairs have been raided, the possibility of them reappearing in the future is not high.

I am used to the soaring physical attributes brought about by absorbing psychics, and then I have to go to the morgue to absorb corpses for several months to achieve the same effect, and the gap is huge.

Ji Xun's thoughts flashed, and he laughed at himself, it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality.

But the psychic medium in his hand now was the one he felt most at ease among the three.

Those people from the Silver Moon Sect are still on the run, so they must not be in the mood to find a psychic.

Even if they knew that something had been robbed, there was a high probability that they would not dare to look for it.

I'm not sure who snatched it away, I found it hastily, and I have to worry about whether it's a trap.

This piece of psychic energy should be able to devour it without a hitch.

Ji Xun didn't devour it in a hurry, but opened the oiled paper bag.

A pitch-black nail was exposed inside.

The nail was no more than half a foot long, but it exuded a strong breath of death.

But the strange thing is that after looking at it more, it seems to feel a sense of sacredness.

Two very conflicting visual experiences.

Looking at Qidi again, Ji Xun knew why.

【Light and Dark Holy Nail】

Detailed explanation: Level III ancient relic; sacred +9, cursed +9; piercing the target, can seal the energy fluctuations of undead creatures that are not higher than the level of the relic itself;

"A sealed relic?"

Looking at the nail, Ji Xun also thought it was very special.

Having both holy and cursed properties at the same time has never been seen before.

I don't know if "Lone Wolf" Baron is relying on this thing to restrain the distortion.

Ji Xun didn't think there were too many treasures.

Although the relics used for sealing seem to have no practical use.

But it is a Class III relic after all, and it is worth a lot.

He is more curious about other things.

For example, why can't this holy nail be contained?

Relics can be contained, otherwise they are called cataclysmic objects.

But this holy nail can't.

Ji Xun observed it and soon found out the problem.

The "paint color" at the tip of the holy nail is irregular, and upon closer inspection, there is a hint of metallic luster.

Enlightenment reveals nothing, that is to say, something beyond cognition.

"This dark golden thing is some kind of blood?"

Ji Xun thought of something.

The psychic medium couldn't contain it, so he guessed that it might be because of a hint of divinity.

Now this relic can't be contained, and there is a high probability that it will have the same problem.

But a bizarre scene happened.

Just as Ji Xun held it in his hand and played with it for a while, enlightenment appeared.

"You have touched the rich unknown divinity."

His eyes froze.

The psychic showed a trace of divinity, but the blood on this nail was actually "rich"?
Could this be the blood of the demon god?
Ji Xun was also slightly surprised.

Why is there such a substance on this nail?
However, before he had time to think about it, he watched the dark golden blood turn into a wisp of tiny energy particles like golden sand, rushing towards his face.

It was like a hallucination, and then it disappeared.

"?"

In the blink of an eye, Ji Xun looked at the dark gold blood that had completely disappeared on the nail.

He already understood something: the clown mask absorbed divinity.

Drinking the [Efficient Mental Power Restoration Potion] before the action will last for three hours. In order to prevent the mysterious magic from being traced, he has been wearing a clown mask.

And this mask is the exclusive relic of 【JOKER】.

One of the entries is: Absorbable spiritual objects can increase the attribute and improve the quality of the relic.

Ji Xun didn't know what the mask was going to absorb before, but now he knows.

This divinity has been absorbed.

Taking off the mask, I took a look at it and saw that the mask had changed from the previous flesh-colored color to white, as if a layer of foundation had been applied.

Ji Xun looked at the attributes of the mask again, and his eyes lit up: "Has the relic been upgraded?"

Not only have the immunity effects of various mysterious systems increased by about 20%, but there are also two more entries.

1. "Psychic Power Absorption +15%"

2. "Cognition +2"

"hiss"

Ji Xun took a slight breath.

The clown mask was already a relic with outrageous efficacy. Because of this mask, he had avoided several times of near-death dangers.

Now the attributes have been greatly improved.

This means that in the future, the threat to him will be very limited when he encounters a first- and second-tier mysterious spell card master.

And looking at the two new entries, he also fell into thinking.

The first one is to absorb external spiritual power and restore oneself to a certain extent, which is quite understandable.

What is the second cognitive improvement situation?
Ji Xun put on the mask and immediately knew what was going on.

The mask temporarily raised his cognitive ceiling.

Looking at the nail in front of me again, the enlightened content is also different.

【Light and Dark Holy Nail】

Detailed explanation: ⅢAncient relic; holy +9, cursed +9; piercing the target, can seal the energy fluctuations of undead creatures not higher than the level of the law of the relic itself; this is a torture tool that nailed an indescribable existence in ancient times , it possesses the power of killing gods and the power of sacredness at the same time, it is a rare good and evil sealed artifact in the world; it also has strong light and dark pollution characteristics;
Originally, Enlightenment almost only had the introduction of attributes, but now Enlightenment has actually seen some causal origins of this relic.

Looking at Qidi in front of him, Ji Xun suddenly realized: "The dark gold blood just now, is that blood that cannot be described?"

With the improvement of cognition, the world he sees is different.

"This ability is fine!"

Ji Xun even felt that the cognition +2 entry was more useful than attribute improvement.

It seems that there is no direct bonus to combat power, but Qidi can see more information than others. This meaning is not as simple as multi-point attributes.

But he thought of something, and glanced at the clay pot on his waist.

In an instant, a basin of cold water was poured on him.

Still the same.

Hmm. This function needs to be improved.

However, Ji Xun is still in a good mood, which also shows that there is still room for improvement in the mask, and he thought: "It seems that in the future, we should pay more attention to things with divinity."

Unexpectedly, I snatched a nail that I don't know what it can be used for, but accidentally unlocked the new function of the clown mask.

Ji Xun took out an advanced containment card, activated the card, and the [Light and Dark Holy Nail] was immediately contained.

Now you don't have to worry about the inconvenience of carrying it with you.

After packing up the loot, Ji Xun began to devour the secret psychic medium.

In a flash, it was another night.

As Ji Xun expected, the process of devouring the psychic went very smoothly, and no one came to bother him.

Early in the morning, the morning steam train whizzed by the streets.

The hustle and bustle of last night has completely subsided.

A new day has begun.

Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his black eyes, and his momentum became more and more stable.

He exhaled a long breath, and said to himself: "The attributes have reached the upper limit of card master apprentices."

took a look.

The psychic medium in his hand has disappeared, in exchange for an outrageous physical attribute.

"Ji Xun"

Power: 10.82
Constitution: 10.96
Agility: 10.11
Toughness: 10.04
Spirit: 6.37
Mana: 3321
Halo: Doom Gambler

元素亲和：黑暗41/光19/地18/风15/水16/火11/雷8/木21/金9
All attributes have basically broken 10.

Seeing this, even Ji Xun felt like he was dreaming.

Normally, the psychic medium last night swallowed up attributes that should increase by about 4 points.

But it actually only increased by 2 points.

It's not because there is a problem with the psychic medium, but because he has reached the upper limit of the card master apprentice.

From yesterday to midnight, after the attribute reached 10, Ji Xun obviously felt that the growth rate had slowed down significantly.

Just like the athletes in the previous life, after the 10-meter sprint enters 0.01 seconds, it is very difficult to increase by [-] seconds.

After all, the psychic can't stay, Ji Xun saw that he could still hold on, so he continued to devour.

Until this psychic medium is devoured.

That feeling is like eating too much, and the food is blocked in the throat.

The body is very uncomfortable.

But the good news is that the attribute value has been forced to rise to close to 11.

Don't underestimate this small gap, the higher the foundation, the attribute increase after job transfer will snowball and widen the gap.

Ji Xun got up and jumped, and the feeling of surging power made him feel better than ever.

After punching a few times, relying on strength alone, the fist can make circles of ripples in the air, and the sound of compressed air can be faintly heard.

He looked at the lights on the tall tower in the distance, and after a little excitement, he felt a kind of happy trouble: "I have to consider the job change card so soon."

He went to the black market three days ago, just to hang out.

I thought I was at least a few months away from facing this problem.

But he never expected that this time he got a psychic medium by accident, which directly raised his physical attributes to the peak of Katu.

If you don't change jobs, it will be very difficult to continue to improve.

The psychic digested it, and the holy nail was also contained.

There is nothing on him that can be missed by others.

Ji Xun planned to go to the black market to look at the professional card, and also inquired about last night's information by the way.

Not long after, he came to the black market on Dark Rain Street.

On the bounty panel, there were only a few reward orders left.

The first person to offer a reward was the mysterious leader of the Silver Moon Sect.

The second one is still the hunchback who controls the undead.

There is also the missing "Plague Doctor" Hesse.

The backbone is gone.

Although the "moon" was robbed in the battle at the auction house last night, those old believers also suffered heavy losses.

Another difference is that the bounty is too high.

The above-mentioned few people have provided accurate information with millions of dollars.

Ji Xun also felt that it was a good thing for these old believers to be wiped out, but he always felt that something was missing when he looked at the empty reward list.

After thinking about it, he finally realized: "Huh, Baron's bounty is gone?"

There is only one possibility, and that is death.

But it's normal to think about it. Although that guy is invincible at the same level, his methods are still in the normal category.

The second level can't stop it, just go to the third level.

In the scuffle last night, someone must be watching him specially, and it's normal for him to be killed.

Ji Xun's expression was slightly different, and he still couldn't forget the "Cursed 4 of Spades" that guy fused together.

This time the Silver Moon Sect suffered heavy losses, and it was impossible to make any major moves in a short time.

But his intuition told Ji Xun that he, the whistleblower, should also go out of the city to avoid the limelight.

Ji Xun walked around the black market and found that several old shops had closed and several new shops had opened.

These small shops in Innocence City are gradually closing down, which is the general trend.

Walking to the door of the Big Ivan Secret Treasure Shop, it was still lively.

Ji Xun originally wanted to go in and look at the professional card.

As soon as I approached, I found a huge billboard at the door of the shop.

The fancy colored pen on it reads: Our store will hold an internal auction at [-]:[-] tonight, and the auction will sell legendary materials [Dragon Bone] and [Giant Flesh and Flesh]. Please look forward to it.

"."

Ji Xun's eyelids twitched.

Seeing this material, he didn't know that it was the result of last night's battle.

Although the two mysterious undead spirits that came from unknown sources were not killed, some bones and flesh were also cut off.

Legendary stuff.
This is a high-end product that many people have never seen before, let alone why they bought it.

The behind-the-scenes boss of Big Ivan is really powerful, and his business acumen is really strong.

The materials released last night are in my shop today.

This internal auction also restricts the VIPs of the store to participate. Isn't this a new wave of high-quality members?
And those who are interested in legendary materials are the top floors in the city of innocence.

This move is really brilliant.

Ji Xun has not yet reached the level where he can use legendary materials, so he has no idea.

But after he looked down, he found that there was a strange commodity mixed in the auction catalogue.

"[Cursed 4 of Spades]?"

Ji Xun's capitalized question mark face.

Big Ivan's shop actually got all these things?
Card masters need professional cards. In addition to buying finished cards in the store, they can also buy card making templates.

It's like buying a potion formula.

With the formula, you can find materials to refine.

Although it is a little troublesome, you still have to find a card maker to help refine it.

But the probability of buying a silver template is much higher than buying a finished card.

There is also a lot more room for choice.

Moreover, career card templates are the same as breathing methods, and things that can be reused are relatively cheap.

Ji Xun didn't expect to buy any finished professional cards when he came here today.

Originally, I wanted to ask if there was a suitable card template.

However, I didn't expect to see [the cursed 4 of spades] among the auction items.

This is not a finished card, nor a template, but a "bloody shard".

Generally speaking, spell card masters fuse professional cards of gold quality and above.
It is possible to parse out "template fragments".

Hmm. Like undigested food in the stomach of the dead.

Although it sounds a little creepy.

But this is how a large part of the top cards on the market are passed down.

For example, some legendary cards and epic cards.

Cards of this level are actually physical manifestations of some high-level laws, which are stable and not easily damaged.

Even if the extraordinary characteristics are absorbed, the template will remain.

It only needs to incorporate some corresponding extraordinary materials, and it can become a complete card.

Gold cards may have less than 10% chance to be resolved, but legendary cards are over 50%, and epic cards are almost 100% likely to be resolved!

Because it comes from corpses, this kind of card is also called "Blood Shard".

When it does, it usually means something good.

The Devil's Mark is pretty much the same thing.

Ji Xun also knew why the fourth young master of the Cao family sent people to chase and kill him like he was crazy before. It was the idea of ​​"killing and exploding cards".

But the bloody shards are almost always the case that only the third-level spell card masters can appear.

Because Tier [-] and Tier [-] spell card masters can at most integrate silver-quality professional cards.

Ji Xun hadn't considered this direction at all before.

But now that the first-order Baron is dead, his fused professional card has been analyzed.

The only explanation is that the [Cursed 4 of Spades] is very special.

Ji Xun immediately made up his mind.

The condition for participation in this auction is a second-level VIP.

The anonymous VIP card in his hand has been spent twice, which happened to reach the second level.

The auction is tonight, so it's good to have a look.

Not to mention that he can buy it, he also came to see what is so special about this professional card.
