Cataclysm King.

Chapter 406 "The Horror Worm Cave·Looking for Malgit, the Ominous Female Insect"

Having lurked many times, Ji Xun is now very familiar with various situations in the southern continent.

 Having played the role of an intelligence merchant, he also knows better than the average person how to obtain accurate and valuable information from various channels.

Learning that this "Holy Crown City Ruins" produced a large number of mechanical relics, Ji Xun specifically inquired about relevant information.

Judging from the current situation, more than 80% of the extra-dimensional spaces around here are related to machinery.

But now that he has reached level six, he doesn’t have many options to choose from.

Ji Xun is not only eyeing the ruins, but also the mechanical materials that were transported out.

 A few days passed by.

Ji Xun has basically figured out the required information.

 The "Rainbow Chamber of Commerce" with an official background is responsible for purchasing the machinery and equipment obtained from the ruins, then smelting them into metal raw materials, and then transporting them back to the Southern Continent.

 The quantity is very large and usually requires a large transport team for transshipment.

 When Ji Xun heard about this, he came up with a bold idea.

 After assessing the risk, Ji Xun decisively informed Catalina of this key information that could lead to a large amount of rare metals.

 Compared to a large number of hunters venturing to search for materials in the ruins, intercepting and killing the transport team arrived much faster.

 There is enough intelligence to deduce and the risks are basically controllable.

In order to minimize the risk of the robbery plan, Ji Xun also deliberately inquired about the attitude of the Airel Empire towards the "Eastern Wasteland" and the "Alliance Army".

 Finally came to the conclusion: feasible.

 The war in the Eastern Wasteland looks fierce, but it is limited to the Eastern Wasteland.

 For people in the Southern Continent, this country-destroying war did not cause much disturbance at all.

 A small, remote kingdom that doesn’t even have a seventh-level card master. No one really cares about it, and no one thinks there will be any surprises in the outcome of the war.

And from beginning to end, it was the "private property" of the Red Dragon Kingdom, which was the first to discover the Eastern Wasteland.

 It is more like discovering a gold mine. The Red Dragon Royal Family has almost monopolized all development rights in the Eastern Wasteland.

In addition, although the two kingdoms of Black Dragon and Silver Dragon are also interested in Eastern Wasteland, their focus is on developing the Old Continent.

  Comparatively, although the risk of hunting in the wilderness is high, the harvest is less than that of conquering the barren Eastern Wilderness.

And the most important thing is that the Holy See issued a "limited time development order" for the ruins.

 This also forced the three royal families to step up their efforts to open up wasteland.

 After Ji Xun heard the relevant news, he was even more convinced that the success rate of intercepting and killing the transport team was almost 100%.

  After all, the current "Alliance Army" is a third-rate resistance organization to the officials of the Airel Empire.

　　Not even comparable to a small detachment of the Rebel Dragon Army, it is not worthy of note at all.

  Not to mention the painstaking efforts to use bait to calculate.

At this moment, another ten days passed.

 The hunting camp in Holy Crown City is getting bigger and bigger.

 The tavern street where the mercenaries hang out is also becoming more and more lively.

 It is afternoon.

 The tavern was already full of drinkers and it was noisy.

 Most of the people who can spend time in the tavern now are the lucky ones who have just come out of the ruins alive and made a lot of money.

These mercenaries drank expensive wine without hesitation while bragging about their adventures.

"Oh, you don't know. It is said that the vanguard has discovered the city fragments of the 'Holy Crown City Ruins' deep in the void rift. Development is being stepped up."

"I just came back from the C4 area. Hehe, our Flame Griffin group played "The First Siege War" three times in total, and got three special cards and dozens of gold-quality items from the extradimensional space. I'm lucky enough to have the above materials, so I just followed the team and got hundreds of thousands of gold! Hahaha. Not only is it enough for my life, but the eight boys in my family have all the materials they need to advance."

 “Oh my god, how awesome is it? What’s the mortality rate?”

"It's very high! Otherwise, why do you think the price of slaves has soared several times recently? It's because there are a lot of highly dangerous extra-dimensional spaces in the C4 area. Just for our group to test out that space, it cost two hundred elite slaves , we discovered a method with a high survival rate.”

"Yes, after C3 is the core area of ​​the ruins. Although the risk is high, the output is really amazing. Let me give you some useful life-saving information. Most of the monsters in those extra-dimensional spaces are insects, and most of the insect levels They are not very high, and they are still very fragile, but the melee card masters will be at a disadvantage if they are very numerous. For a profession that requires a magic system and can kill insects in a large area, the points rating will definitely be high if you can survive."

ˆ “.”

 At the wine table, there is a kind of enthusiasm that the drinkers are blowing.

At this time, a mustachioed intelligence businessman called to the bartender: "Good wine! Count it on me!"

Mustache is none other than Ji Xun, who is disguised as an intelligence businessman.

In the past ten days or so, he has not been in a hurry to explore the ruins. Instead, he has been asking for information everywhere.

These mercenaries who came out alive from the ruins have more accurate and useful information than the Hunter Guild.

 Not long after, Ji Xun completed today's tavern schedule and walked out of the street.

Originally, I planned to go and finish lunch, but not long after I left, an encrypted message came from the communicator: "It was settled smoothly."

This communicator can only be contacted by one person.

That’s Catalina.

Ji Xun saw a hint of relief on his face after hearing the news, and murmured to himself: "Did the interception succeed? Hey, it seems I have to run away."

 He waited for so many days, in addition to asking for information, just for those rare metals.

Yesterday, Ji Xun used his own methods and channels to get a top-secret news: Rainbow Chamber of Commerce had transported away the rare metals that had been stored for nearly half a month.

There is an interception plan with Katarina.

There are indeed many high-level card masters in the camp.

 But the land reclamation of the ruins is currently in full swing. The first task of those experts is to carry out the orders of the Holy See, and they will not make a trip to **** the Chamber of Commerce.

 With the current high-end combat power of the Alliance Army, it is no problem to take down a transport team.

  Facts have proved that the interception was successful.

 This time, materials that can be used to forge dozens of Hunter God armors were directly obtained.

 It is necessary for the Alliance Army's own land reclamation team to search in the ruins. I don't know how many people will die to get it.

 The Chamber of Commerce was robbed. People in the Southern Continent must have guessed the purpose of the metals robbed by the Alliance Army. It will not be that easy to intercept them next time.

Although it is a bit like killing the goose to get the eggs, it is worth it.

 The development of the ruins of Holy Crown City will probably last for many years.

.

Whether it is the disguised identity of the spy or the complex relationship between various forces in the camp, Ji Xun has sufficient arrangements.

 With the information he provided, it would be much easier for Catalina to arrange for spies to come over.

But once this incident breaks out, people in the Southern Continent will definitely know that there is a "spy".

Ji Xunke has never underestimated the detective masters of the Southern Continent.

 In order to prevent any special means from locking him into being involved in the incident, he could not stay in the camp.

Ji Xun originally planned to go on an adventure in the ruins.

Just in time to avoid the limelight.

Thinking of this, he turned and walked towards the bustling mercenary union a block away.

By the time he walked through the corner of a dark alley, Ji Xun had transformed from the mustache he had just now into an elemental card master wearing a robe.

 He has already prepared several perfect disguises for himself, making it almost impossible to reveal them.

What’s more, the Adventurer’s Guild’s daily wilderness hunting missions have grown exponentially, and there is a huge demand for adventurers.

It couldn’t be easier to join a team.

Ji Xun has long been optimistic about several tasks, all of which are exploring the C4 area.

 If you want to go, go to the most exciting one.

 This is also the area with the most in-depth land reclamation and ruins in the southern continent.

“The super-large war mode space in the C3 area "Second Acropolis Attack and Defense War". All kinds of teams are welcome to cooperate and develop, and start immediately!"

“There are several violent magic card masters coming from the “Zerg” space in the C4 area, let’s set off today!”

"Black Sails Castle", a hundred-man guard mode, come and challenge the B-level high-difficulty plot. The crowd is full!"

Ji Xun mingled among the mercenary union crowd.

 The land reclamation is in full swing, and those large hunting groups have arranged for people to pull people at the union site.

Ji Xun has long been familiar with all kinds of wilderness hunting information, and his ears automatically filtered out the ones he needed.

Just when he was thinking about which extra-dimensional space was more suitable for traveling as soon as possible, something unexpected happened.

At this time, a long line of war slaves chained in chains came down the street.

This scene was not surprising at first.

 A large number of slaves are sent to the hunting camp almost every day.

 Now a large amount of cannon fodder is consumed deep in the ruins every day, so the slaves are "fresh" every day.

Almost as soon as they are delivered, they are immediately sent to the front line without waiting for the night.

These slaves are not only from the Eastern Wilderness, but most of them are aboriginal people from the Southern Continent.

 Originally, Ji Xun was not surprised.

However, when he looked at a timid old man in the team, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

I took a closer look and saw the exposed front teeth and the lewd look in my eyes.

 That’s right, it’s Old Man Xu.

Recognizing an acquaintance, Ji Xun's eyes twitched slightly, and he complained quietly in his heart: "Why was this old man arrested again?"

 That’s right.

ˆˆ is "also".

The last time we met it was almost the same situation.

 The old man was taken as a slave to explore the Rune Highlands.

 Unexpectedly, I encountered him in this way again.

 It is normal to think about it. People from the Irel Empire are now all over the Old Continent. As long as Old Man Xu is still active in the ruins, it is normal for him to be caught.

However, complaints are complaints, and Ji Xun is not worried at all.

 This old man will definitely not die anyway.

What we have to worry about is which unlucky guy will use this old man as cannon fodder.

Just as I was thinking about it, a guy with a Thunder Hammer badge on his chest came over and said, "Brother, would you like to have one of the Thunder Group's "Horror Bug Lair"? A large group is guaranteed and the rate of return is high. Look at the slaves now. We’re here, let’s start the tour immediately!”

Ji Xun saw that old man Xu was being taken from the slave merchant by the Thunder Regiment. The corner of his mouth slightly raised in a smile that was not a smile, and he immediately responded: "Okay!"

He had some hard decisions just now, but now they were gone.

 Of course I am following this old man.

 Experience tells Ji Xun that following Old Man Xu, things are exciting enough and there is an anchor point for survival, so there is no need to hesitate at all.

 And the fact that Old Man Xu appears here means that there may be a big secret nearby.

In this way, Ji Xun followed hundreds of mercenaries from Thunder Warhammer, plus hundreds of slaves, and stepped onto the teleportation array on the edge of the cliff.

 The fragments of continents in the void are like islands in the sea, large and small, varying in distance.

 After several transfers, the group came to a fragment of the plane that was about the size of a county town.

Like the world rift, there is normal gravity on these fragments, but the strange thing is that the whole fragment is floating in the void.

Ji Xun also came to the depths of the ruins for the first time.

 When he stepped firmly on the ground with his feet and looked at the debris floating around like stars, it gave him a strong sense of spatial chaos.

Hundreds of people have been stationed on this fragment and a temporary camp has been set up.

In the middle of the camp is the distorted light gate of the extra-dimensional space.

This is the exclusive extradimensional space of the Thunder Warhammer Regiment.

 Recruiting outsiders is purely to reduce the mortality rate of the team itself.

As soon as Ji Xun and his group of newcomers arrived, before they had time to rest, the deputy commander in the camp began to explain the mission.

"Everyone, the extradimensional space we are exploring this time is "Horror Worm Cave". This is an unlimited level plot, and the difficulty of the tasks will be planned according to the levels. As long as the tasks are completed according to our instructions, the risks will still be controllable. Below is the information we obtained from our previous exploration, please take a look at it. What we plan to explore this time is B level difficulty."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun listened and looked at the information distributed.

　　It’s similar to what I heard before.

 Hunting mode, mainly killing monsters.

The advantage of such a large team is that there are enough people to try and make mistakes, and more and more information will be gained every time.

Ji Xun's current deduction ability can already deduce more information based on the information he has and the intelligence in his hand.

This is a hundred-man regiment in an extra-dimensional space, with fifty Thunder regiment members, thirty slaves, and twenty other scattered mercenaries.

The plot is really difficult.

But what he was more concerned about was which group Old Man Xu would be placed into.

 Unfortunately, probably because Old Man Xu was too old, he was among the first batch of cannon fodder.

Ji Xun took the opportunity to join the first batch of exploration teams.

At the end of the story, the deputy leader gave another instruction: "Also, everyone should pay special attention to the clues of a special [jar] relic."

 Maybe they didn’t think this group of people could find clues, and their tone was very casual.

 The people who heard it didn’t take it seriously.

 On the contrary, an imperceptible chuckle flashed across Ji Xun's eyes.

This news is no secret among the mercenaries in the southern continent. People from the Holy See are looking for some ancient [jars].

Probably the Holy See received some clues. The destruction of Holy Crown City three thousand years ago was directly related to certain foreign gods.

After the explanation, the first group of mercenaries repaired themselves a little and received some necessary equipment. The group of 100 people filed into the distorted light gate.

Ji Xun followed Old Man Xu not far away and entered quietly.

 Enlightenment also appeared immediately.

 “You have entered the "Horror Worm Cave·Omen Mother Insect Malgit""

“The current disaster level is D, mortality rate: 33.7%”

“Space exploration progress: 25.9%”

　　　Keywords: Unlimited plot hunting mode”

“Plot clues: A cruel war has begun, and Holy Crown City is surrounded by a Zerg army under the command of the Seven Scourge Lords, ‘Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta’.”

"Current mission: You and your teammates are elite reconnaissance soldiers of the Talon Empire. Your mission is to find the mother insect's nest in the intricate caves and create opportunities for your top-level card masters to hunt down the mother insect; hunt. The Zerg earns points, and you must get 100,000 points before you can leave the space; the Zerg are everywhere, this is an extremely dangerous mission, and you will face hundreds of times the number of Zerg legions."

“Tips: Hunting model points can be exchanged for additional prizes; the settlement special card pool adds special items such as ‘special-level mechanical blueprints’, ‘space teleportation cards’, ‘scapegoats’, ‘mechanical gods’, etc.;”

 The surrounding scenery changed.

 From outside the camp, it turned into a tunnel illuminated by only a weak light source.

Ji Xun looked at his surroundings and immediately felt the hair on his hair rising slightly, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

　　It’s been a long time since I’ve explored an extradimensional space.

This feeling of being in a closed and dangerous environment all the time is back.

This kind of extra-dimensional space with no restrictions on levels is not uncommon in the core of the Old Continent.

 There is no limit to the level, which means that the difficulty will be infinitely high or low.

  At D level difficulty, a normal first-level card master might be able to leave alive with 100 points.

Ji Xun looked at his "100,000 points" and saw nothing unusual.

His hidden sixth level, the normal difficulty is about the same.

At the same time, after counting the number of people, he muttered in his heart: "Spatial Will really did not regard Ivan as a human participant."
