Cataclysm King.

Chapter 600: Stone Tablet Flame Demon Old Man Xu

Morey, the leader of the dragon lizard clan, saw that Ji Xun and the others agreed to see the prophet, and activated the temple's restrictions with the staff in his hand.

There was a crunching sound of stones rubbing together, and a floor in the Obsidian Temple dented, revealing a stairway leading to the seal.

As soon as the cave opened, it seemed to be connected to a hot volcano crater, and a wave of scorching heat hit us.

"Everyone, please come with me."

The patriarch Morey signaled and walked in first.

Qin Rushi glanced at Ji Xun, and after a moment of exchange, he followed in without hesitation.

Ji Xun also squinted his eyes slightly and looked around, then took steps to follow.

No matter where I looked, I didn't feel any signs of danger.

As everyone went down the obsidian stairs, the fire element in the air around them gradually became so intense that even breathing felt like flames burning the lungs.

It doesn't matter to Ji Xun and the others.

Isabel and the little ones had to use magic to protect their bodies at all times.

No matter how you look at it, this environment is not a good place.

The clan leader Morey probably knew that the place he was going to was dangerous, so he explained as he walked: "This is the ancestral land of our dragon lizard clan. No one can come in except me and the elders on weekdays. You and I know that for thousands of years , a human being invited to enter here for the first time.”

This opening revealed the long history of the dragon lizard clan.

Ji Xun became more and more interested as he listened.

Because he understood the sealing runes and murals carved on the surrounding rock walls.

Murals are a common carrier for ancient civilizations to record history.

The above content is also very simple, it is the story of the struggle between the lizard tribe and a huge flame demon.

It seems that every once in a while, there will be such a war.

The final result was that the Lizard clan suffered numerous casualties, and the demon was sealed again.

Ji Xun not only cares about the content of the murals, but also pays more attention to the craftsmanship of the carvings.

These carving techniques show their own unique style of the times, as if they were carved bit by bit by countless generations of craftsmen over a long period of time. Each time you walk, the style is slightly different.

And after walking for a while, the carving style suddenly changed again, an "ancient" atmosphere came to my face, and there was a gap-like difference in the carving process.

Ji Xun understood clearly that the seal in this cave was probably there before the Lizard Clan came.

The history traced back may be earlier than the time when the dragon lizard tribe settled.

This is an ancient ruin.

Chief Morey also introduced: "As you can see, there is a very terrifying Balrog in this crypt. We, the dragon lizard clan, have guarded this crypt for generations."

While we were chatting, our vision suddenly opened up.

Everyone had walked out of the stairs and arrived on a platform that looked like a crater.

The platform was empty, and hot red light could be seen rising from the other half of the cliff.

The three little guys, Darcy, Isabel and David, were burned by the fire element that was already so rich that it looked like a flame and frowned, while Ji Xun and the other three looked at the stone wall in front of them with solemn expressions.

If you look closely, you can see that there are scale patterns like dragon scales on the stone wall.

Moreover, this wall has "qi".

This is a living behemoth!

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Chief Morey bowed respectfully towards the wall and said, "Master Prophet. I have brought the person you want to see."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked: Is this the prophet of the dragon lizard clan?

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he opened his vision, he could vaguely see the outline of a huge dragon-blooded lizard on the wall in front of him.

It was like a mountain, so big that its body filled almost the entire platform and blended into the rock wall.

The behemoth seemed to be sleeping.

Morey called out again, and the rock wall slowly opened a gap several meters long, revealing an amber vertical pupil.

The eyes determined the position of the head. This was a terrifying giant lizard that was over 500 meters in size.

However, despite its large size, the "qi" gives people a weak feeling of exhaustion.

And the moment the vertical pupils opened, a rotten aura hit his face.

The depth accumulated by endless years is engraved in those eyes, and they also seem to contain infinite wisdom.

Just this one glance seemed to have penetrated the past and future, and seen everything about the six outsiders.

Just when Ji Xun was marveling that there was such a terrifying powerhouse in the dragon lizard clan, his wise vertical pupils suddenly emptied out and were replaced by confusion.

The surrounding rock walls shook slightly, and an old voice asked: "Who are you, little guy?"

The patriarch Morey seemed to be used to it, and responded: "Master Prophet, I am Morey, the patriarch of this generation of the dragon lizard clan."

The giant dragon lizard seemed to recall for a moment, and then said: "Oh. It's little Morey. I thought it was Youmu, or those two naughty little guys from Goff. After all, you and your grandfather and great-grandfather look alike. Exactly the same. By the way, where is Sauron? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

Patriarch Morey responded: "Four hundred years ago, Grandpa passed away in that sealing battle with the Balrog."

The giant dragon lizard said again: "Oh. I almost forgot that Sauron is a heroic child."

When Ji Xun and others heard this conversation, their expressions were slightly strange.

But I understand.

This "prophet" seems to be a forgetful old lizard.

And from this conversation, they also heard that the prophet was very old.

Not only am I forgetful, my memory is also a bit confused.

The patriarch Morey also seemed to feel that it was not good to talk about these things in front of outsiders, and reminded him again of his purpose: "Master Prophet, I have brought the person you want to see."

The giant lizard looked at Ji Xun and the others and said blankly: "Humans? Oh, I haven't seen humans for a long time, little Morey, why did you bring them to see me?"

Ji Xun: "."

Qin Ru said: "."

Gong Wu: "."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless.

Chief Morey seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and said patiently: "You instructed me to invite them yesterday. You saw a picture of the future in the prophecy. The Balrog is about to break the seal and come out, and our dragon lizard clan will also migrate far away. .”

In order to help the prophet remember, I can only tell the whole story.

Only then did Ji Xun and the others understand what was going on.

It was this prophet's prophecy that led to this meeting.

After hearing this, the giant dragon lizard remembered something: "Oh, I almost forgot. I just said that the guy underground has been very peaceful recently. It turns out that he is accumulating strength to break the seal."

As he said that, he looked at Ji Xun again and said in a slow and deep tone: "I'm sorry. Sometimes living too long is not a good thing. I'm already a little confused."

"."

Ji Xun looked at the gaze directed at him and wondered why the prophet looked at him at a glance instead of Qin Rushi.

Maybe he saw his rank, or maybe it was a prophecy.

For some reason, Ji Xun felt a sense of familiarity when he saw this old dragon lizard who had lived for who knows how many years, as if he was seeing some oblivious and oblivious old man.

It feels exactly the same.

Patriarch Morey also captured this detail.

Only then did he realize that there was a top powerhouse hiding in the rebel army.

He was also secretly glad that he had not made any misunderstood decisions before, otherwise it might have caused some irreversible catastrophic consequences.

The memory of the giant dragon lizard briefly recovered, and he seemed to know that he might forget at any time, so he went directly to the topic: "In the endless war I saw in the prophecy, a human uprising army will gradually grow stronger, and the chaotic order will return to normal. In order. I put my clan They are entrusted to you, and I hope you can take them to distant places. Of course, they will also help you fight against Little Morey. You can sign a blood contract with these human friends. According to the prophecy, they will be the most sincere friends of our dragon lizard clan. Friends, this will also allow the dragon lizard clan to continue."

The word order is a bit messy, and it sounds like the gibberish of an elderly man on his deathbed.

But prophecies are like that, they are always vague fragments rather than a clear future.

However, as soon as these words came out, the patriarch Morey's expression was extremely solemn.

He did not question it at all and responded respectfully: "Yes, Lord Prophet."

Qin Rushi and the others were also surprised.

Just one sentence from this prophet seems to have solved the biggest problem currently encountered by the rebel army.

Not only can they pass through this crypt, but they can also get help from the dragon lizard clan?

It was so easy that several people felt that something was missing.

For example, talk about the conditions or something?

Only Ji Xun's expression did not change at all, and the "prophecy" gave him a very important direction for his deduction.

My thoughts are scattering, and something strange is happening suddenly.

Violent flames suddenly burst out from under the red-hot cliff not far away, and the entire cave shook violently.

Ji Xun felt an extremely evil aura leaking out from the cracks in the stone, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

The killing intent in that aura was so strong that Ji Xun instinctively entered a fighting state.

The same was true for Qin Rushi and Gong Wu beside them.

The momentum of the three people exploded instantly, causing the corner of the patriarch Morey's eyes to twitch suddenly.

Only then did he understand that the strongest among the human rebels was not the leader of the Valkyrie sequence, but the ninth level who had never appeared in the intelligence!

But this strange movement didn't last long. In the dragon scale flesh mountain in front of me, a huge lizard raised its claws, and the nine-pointed star sealing formation in the void instantly lit up. Together with the runes on the surrounding obsidian rock walls, it had already changed. The terrifying aura that overflowed from the gaps was suppressed.

Ji Xun instantly sensed that the dangerous aura disappeared. At the same time, I also sighed in my heart, still a little underestimating the risks of this crypt. The strength of both this unfathomable prophet and the demon under the ground may have exceeded his imagination.

The huge lizard just raised his hand, but it seemed to have exhausted most of his strength, and his tone could not hide the drowsy feeling of exhaustion: "The seal has been eroded almost, and the Balrog will escape soon." Sealed out. Okay, I'm going to sleep. Morey, please take the guests away."

Morey: "Yes, Lord Prophet."

Ji Xun was not surprised. It was a miracle that the old lizard was alive because of his "Qi".

And now that the business has been settled, there seems to be no need to stay.

However, his gaze stopped under the huge claw, because just after the claw was moved away, a black stone tablet was revealed!

"Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet?"

Ji Xun's expression became even stranger when he saw the familiar stone tablet.

The same goes for Qin Rushi and Gong Wu on the side. They have also seen the Forbidden Ruins stone tablet.

Chief Morey was originally planning to leave with a few people, but looking at their expressions, he became strange.

He saw something and asked: "Everyone, have you seen this stone tablet?"

Ji Xun nodded and said, "Yes."

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

After saying that, he asked directly: "Is this stone monument always here?"

Chief Morey shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I don't know either. There is no record of this stone tablet in our clan. Even I only happened to see it when I came here decades ago."

Hearing this, although Ji Xun and others felt that they could not solve their confusion, they could still understand.

After all, this stone tablet is too mysterious. I don't know what's normal. It's strange to know what's going on.

But unexpectedly, the sleepy old lizard suddenly remembered something and said: "I remember that this stone tablet was channeled by an old man many, many years ago to strengthen the seal. It is also because of this stone tablet that I can Live till now.”

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he caught some details in that sentence and his eyes twitched inexplicably.

He is very familiar with this process!

Almost every Forbidden Ruins stone tablet he had seen before was related to Old Man Xu and was also used for sealing.

Moreover, Ji Xun also understood some of the contents on the stone tablet.

He knew he had missed it and had no chance to ask again, so he asked directly: "Master Prophet, have you met Senior Xu?"

"Oh, yes, that senior said that his human surname is 'Xu'."

Being reminded of this, the old lizard said: "At that time, our dragon lizard clan was just a small tribe. Until I met Senior Xu, he taught me the secret of immortality. I remember that Airel had not unified the dragon clan at that time. .”

Upon hearing this beginning, Ji Xun suddenly felt enlightened.

No wonder the feeling of forgetfulness is so familiar. It is indeed the same secret method as Old Man Xu.

However, just because he knew the relationship between the old lizard and Old Man Xu, Ji Xun was even more surprised. Listen to this, this old lizard has lived for hundreds of thousands of years?

hiss.

Even the patriarch Morey took a breath of cold air at this shocking secret.

It's not that he, the patriarch, doesn't know the history of the dragon lizard clan, but that the prophet himself doesn't know how long he has lived, so how can their descendants know it?

Now that he has seen the Forbidden Ruins stone tablet and involves Old Man Xu, the seal is probably as Ji Xun thought and involves some ancient secrets.

The fifty-three [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablets] are most likely left by JOKER, the King of Cards who created the Card Master Civilization. They record the ultimate secret of the Card Master Civilization.

This stone tablet seems to be a means of recording whether it will be noticed by the "plane monitor".

Later, Emperor Lanlingster also left some messages on it, and powerful people like Nan Shenyu would also leave messages on it.

Ji Xun can now understand part of the original text information, but cannot decipher it. It's like getting a piece of a puzzle. Only when there are enough, can you know what the pattern of the puzzle is.

But he understood one of the pieces of information recorded by later generations: "During the Great Cataclysm, when the gods fought in a melee, a red dragon mounted by a dragon knight fell here, forming the Duogna Mountains and this lava cave. I discovered it when I came here. The [Lava Core] condensed with that godhead already has spirituality, and will probably grow into a Balrog later on, as well as a very powerful aegis. However, those things are no longer useful to my current level, so I will leave them to Maybe there will be someone destined later, Xu."

The signature "Xu" was left behind.

It was obviously the old man with the gaping front teeth.

Ji Xun now knows why Old Man Xu has been looking for those stone tablets.

Because on the stone tablet, it looked like the old man’s memorandum.

Write down what happened, forget about it, and look for it again.

This way you can know what happened.

Seeing the contents on this stone tablet immediately aroused Ji Xun's strong curiosity.

The legend is indeed true, there is a [Lava Core] under the ground.

And there is also a very powerful shield?

A treasure that even Mr. Xu would say is awesome, a perfect artifact.

Now that he is here, Ji Xun must want to satisfy his curiosity.

Ji Xun asked some more questions about Old Man Xu, but the old lizard's memory failed to give him the answers he wanted.

Or perhaps the amnesia itself is a protective hiding of that memory.

Ji Xun did not continue to ask about the stone tablet, but instead asked: "Senior Prophet, can I ask if the flame demon in the ground has condensed the divine power?"

The situation is now obvious. Due to the passage of time, the seal can no longer seal the Balrog underground.

If it can be solved completely, it may not be a better solution.

Hearing this, the old lizard's tone became inexplicably kind, "Young man, your curiosity allows me to see your courage that is more dazzling than lava. The Balrog has not condensed the godhead, but it has touched the plane of fire. The ultimate mystery of the elements. Oh, I seem to have seen a red-nosed clown in a dream. He played with the Balrog and took away its treasures. I don’t know if I am too old and can’t tell the difference between dreams. It’s still a prophecy.”

The word order is a bit confusing.

As he spoke, his voice disappeared.

The amber vertical pupils had been completely closed, and there was no longer any luster.

If it weren't for that weak "qi", Ji Xun might have thought that the prophet had fallen asleep.

There was silence for a moment on the huge platform.

Qin Rushi and Ji Xun looked at each other and communicated with each other.

The expression on the side of the clan leader Morey became more and more strange. He could tell that there was a guy who seemed to be trying to attract the attention of the underground flame demon.

For the dragon lizard clan, this is something they would never dare to think about.

But now that he has gained the knowledge of the Prophet, Morey is no longer entangled.

The future path has already been decided in the prophecies.

He looked at Qin Rushi, then at Ji Xun, and took the initiative to say: "As you can see, the prophet has reminded you of the prophecy, and we will fully abide by the prophet's instructions. If you are willing, our dragon lizard clan is willing to cooperate with you. military alliance"

Qin Rushi glanced at Ji Xun, and she said directly: "It is an honor for our rebel army to gain the friendship of the dragon lizard clan."

Chief Morey also nodded and said: "Well, I will convene the Council of Elders later to discuss the covenant. Our Dragon Lizard clan can send 50,000 elite mages to join the rebel army and accompany the army in the expedition. However, we clan members will also have to move when the time comes."

Qin Ru had already thought about it and said: "No problem. The noble clansmen can temporarily move to the Old Continent or the Eastern Continent, where we have very safe and livable territory. We will discuss other arrangements after the subsequent battle situation is determined."

"That's very good."

Morey's expression did not change as he listened, but he was relieved in his heart.

Only after this understanding did I know that the rebel army actually had territories in the Old Continent and the Eastern Wasteland, so that was even better.

At present, it seems that nowhere in the southern continent is safe, and it seems to be in response to the "long-distance migration" predicted by the prophet.

The two leaders reached an agreement in a few words and solved the most pressing border crossing issue.

Moreover, the entire dragon lizard group only has a few hundred thousand members. Chief Morey promised to send 50,000 elites, which is considered to be the full strength of the entire clan.

It shows sincerity.

Everyone did not disturb the prophet's rest and returned to the original route.

Along the way, Qin Rushi and Morey discussed some details of the covenant.

Ji Xun, on the other hand, was thinking about the Balrog.

Since the monster failed to condense its divine power, of course he still wanted to take a look.

But once they go down, there are too many uncertainties, and they have to wait until the dragon lizard clan migrates away before they can make any plans.

As he walked, Morey suddenly thought of something and said: "However, I think we'd better not provoke Silverwind City. The Silverwind Lord and his Dragon Eagle Legion are very powerful. They came from our area." If the acupuncture point is passing through, just don’t provoke it.”

Hearing this, Qin Rushi shook his head and said, "Even if we don't provoke him, once we cross the border, Lord Silverwind will definitely come to trouble you, the Dragon Lizard Clan."

She and Ji Xun carefully discussed various possibilities and were basically certain that Silver Wind City's position was in favor of a certain foreign god.

Morey was puzzled: "Why is this?"

After all, they have been neighbors for hundreds of years. The Dragon Lizard Clan and Silverwind City also have many exchanges on weekdays, and there are trade exchanges in each other's territories.

Among the dragon lizard clan, there must be people from the Silver Wind City side.

Unless necessary, there is no reason for both sides to break up.

Qin Ru briefly explained the current situation of several foreign gods, and Morey also felt that it made sense.

However, these are all speculations, and it cannot be completely concluded that there must be something wrong with Silver Wind City.

Qin Ru came up with a plan: "Clan Chief Morey, I have a way to determine whether Silver Wind City is hostile to us. Please deliberately let out the news about our negotiations. If they come to attack and kill, it will be proven What I said before."

If Silverwind City really doesn't want to bear the risk of the rebels crossing the border, then since the Dragon Lizards decide to use the crossing, they have no reason to send troops.

And they will never take the initiative to ambush the top leaders of the rebel army.

But once it comes, it’s certain,

This hidden danger must be eradicated sooner or later.

When Morey heard this, he nodded and felt that this idea was reliable: "Yeah!"
