Cataclysm King.

Chapter 602 [Shield of the Gorgon]

After all, Sean Cumberland, the lord of Silverwind City, was not as troublesome as a pure-blooded giant dragon. With Ji Xun sticking around and Qin Ruzhi and others helping, everyone worked together to kill him as planned.

Without the lords and several top-level commanders, Silver Wind City's 100,000 Dragon Eagle Army was reduced to a pile of scattered sand, and was quickly defeated by the rebel army's strong attack.

Silverwind City is a military fortress. It is not only stationed by the Dragon Eagle Legion, but also produces high-quality armor and weapons.

Qin Rushi led the rebel army to attack Silver Wind City and captured tens of thousands of Dragon Eagle elites while also plundering countless equipment.

This also greatly made up for the biggest shortcoming of the slave-dominated rebel army's lack of equipment, and morale was greatly boosted for a while.

A few days passed by.

On this day, in the crypt.

The dragon lizard clan also began to migrate due to the problem of the rupture of the Balrog seal.

Chief Morey and the elders once again led Ji Xun to the Obsidian Temple.

Since the whole clan is planning to move, the prophet no longer has to guard the underground seal, and of course he has to follow the clan members.

The prophet in the form of a lizard man is a thin old man whose skin is full of wrinkles. It doesn't look like he is a great wise man who has lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years.

No longer required to guard the temple, the wise man also fell into a deep sleep.

He was carried by the young dragon lizard warriors and left the crypt for the first time.

Without the prophet, the dragon lizard crypt seemed to have lost its soul all of a sudden.

After all the dragon lizards left the cave, Chief Morey and his tribe began to dismantle the magnificent temple underground.

Not only because the obsidian used to build the temple is priceless, but more importantly, this temple has also been the spiritual sustenance and belief of their dragon lizard clan for countless years.

No matter where they move in the future, the place where the temple is located will be the settlement of the ethnic group.

The temple was originally part of the reinforced seal, and now that the Balrog underground has become restless after it was demolished.

The entire cave is like a volcano that may erupt at any time. The mountains are trembling slightly, and the rich smell of fire element is exuding from the gaps in the stones.

At this moment, apart from the dragon lizard tribesmen who were still in the temple, Ji Xun was the only one in the temple.

Next to the ancient seal where the prophet had previously slept, Ji Xun sat cross-legged in front of the huge [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet] to observe and meditate.

He is waiting here, firstly to replace the prophet and help these dragon lizards to control the situation, and also to wait to see the Balrog.

Since the prophets had confirmed that the flame demon had not condensed his godhead, Ji Xun was naturally curious to see what Old Man Xu had left behind in this place where the gods fell hundreds of thousands of years ago.

In addition to the "Aegis" recorded on the inscription,

His intuition told him that the old man might have left some secrets that could not be recorded.

The dragon lizard clan moved the temple very efficiently, dismantling it to pieces in one day.

This also caused the seal that had been repaired to completely show signs of collapse.

The surrounding obsidian rock walls are already covered with red cracks that look like blood vessels.

Through the gap, Ji Xun could clearly sense the terrifying power of the law of fire.

This is the highest level fire element he has ever seen in the card master plane.

This ultra-high elemental law implements "spell penetration", allowing Ji Xun to feel a burning and tingling sensation through the protective aura.

But for him, this dangerous environment is actually a good thing.

Ji Xun's spell recovery can just make up for this continuous erosion of the law of fire.

If there is no harm, then there is gain.

Just like sitting next to the stove, the "temperature" of the fire element law suddenly becomes concrete.

Enlightenment also flashes from time to time.

"You have touched the high-level flame law erosion of the 'Fire Demon Lord Ganur', and the fire element affinity is +0.8."

"You are attacked by the fire god's wrath from the 'Fire Demon Lord Ganur', and the divine power is +0.07."

"You are overwhelmed and frightened by the royal power of the 'Fire Demon King Ganur', and your understanding of the law of royal power is enhanced."

"."

The higher the level of the card master, the more difficult it is to comprehend the laws of the universe from the outside world.

This is a rare cultivation treasure land for Ji Xun, who is now in the ninth level.

It's hard to find opportunities like this anywhere else.

As for the seals around him that could explode at any time, he didn't feel any danger at all.

With Ivan by his side, no changes in space could escape his perception.

Even if you can't beat him, you can still run away.

While meditating, I suddenly heard footsteps.

Ji Xun opened his eyes and saw the patriarch Morey walking down.

"Little friend Ji Xun, the temple has almost been moved."

Morey was walking and talking.

He looked at Ji Xun with great gratitude in his heart.

It's not just an alliance.

He knew very well that only by guarding here could the tribesmen move away from the temple safely.

Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation and smiled indifferently: "Yeah."

With that said, he added: "Clan Chief Morey, you should try to stay away from the crypt. I feel that the Balrog underground must have discovered that the prophet has left, and is now gathering strength. The seal may be broken open at any time."

Chief Morey nodded: "But little friend Ji Xun, do you really plan to hunt that Balrog?"

Ji Xun said truthfully: "Hunting is unlikely, but I am still interested in giving it a try."

Although this fire demon has not condensed the divine power, it can make the dragon lizard clan helpless for countless years, and he does not think he can handle it.

"Then please be careful."

Chief Morey originally wanted to say a few more words.

But recalling the method he used to ambush Lord Silverwind before, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

The method of the person in front of him was beyond his understanding, and it was not comparable to that of ordinary ninth-level people.

As he spoke, Morey took out a simple ruby ​​ring and said: "This is the inherited treasure of our dragon lizard clan [Fire Avoidance Ring]. Since the little friend plans to explore the crypt of the Fire Demon, this ring may be able to help Get busy”

"Thank you."

Ji Xun didn't refuse and accepted the ring.

The dragon lizard clan has been fighting against the Balrog for so many years, and they have some restraints after all.

As soon as I took the ring into my hand, I felt that the surrounding fire elements were isolated.

On the other side, Silver Wind City.

All the residents in the city had also moved away. In the empty city, the three little guys were waiting boredly beside the castle walls.

None other than Isabel, Darcy and David.

Because the castle is located just over ten kilometers above the dragon lizard crypt, the distance is far enough and safe enough.

They knew that the teachers wanted to hunt Balrog, so they waited here to watch the battle.

"Idiot Darcy, when do you think the Balrog will break the seal?"

"I don't know. But I guess it will be just these two days. The people have already evacuated. Even if the seal is not broken, the teacher will definitely find a way to lure the Balrog out."

"Oh. The master's wife said that the Balrog is more powerful than the ninth-level pure-blood dragon. I don't know if the teacher will be in danger."

"."

The three little guys chatted without saying a word.

Just as they were thinking, two figures suddenly appeared beside the three of them. It was Gong Wu who looked serious, and Qin Rushi who was wearing armor and carrying a big sword on his back.

Now that everyone has moved away, Ji Xun's plan is that if they can defeat the Balrog, they will surround him and kill him.

If you can't beat them, take the three little guys and evacuate immediately.

As soon as the two appeared, the three little guys seemed to know what was going to happen.

Immediately, the entire mountain range began to tremble slightly.

Isabel's little face was full of excitement: "The guy under the ground made such an exaggerated movement that it actually made the entire mountain range shake."

At first, she was a little unhappy when her father arranged to be Ji Xun's disciple.

Now this girl likes this kind of exciting life more and more. It seems that following the teacher, she can always experience some exciting experiences that ordinary people can't encounter in their lives.

In just a few months, even the ninth level had killed two of them, and now it was the turn of the mythical and legendary Balrog.

Darcy was much calmer. His eyes were shining, as if he saw something: "It should be that the fire demon is too powerful. The teacher can only draw the fire element out of the ground. It may erupt."

Upon hearing this, Gong Wu glanced at him in surprise and praised, "You're not bad, boy."

He has just discovered that it is rare for a fourth-level card master to be able to judge in advance.

Darcy had already entered that absolutely rational state of deduction, and before he had time to respond, he just said: "Here he comes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked far away in his field of vision and saw a huge pillar of hot flame rising into the sky.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"."

As the fire element erupted from the ground, the entire Duogna Mountains shook violently.

I heard the sound of cracking mountains and cracking rocks, and cracks appeared everywhere on the walls of Silver Wind City.

And the vision was already filled with fiery red.

Large areas of magma spewed out, exploding a fire tree in the sky, and dotted the dark mountains with dazzling red spots.

The hot breath hit his face, and the temperature of the air suddenly rose by dozens of degrees.

After waiting for a few breaths, I heard the sound of "crackling" like heavy rain falling.

Looking up, he saw the red-hot magma rain hitting the Gang Qi shield that Gong Wu had put up, isolating it.

Although it did not pose any threat to a few people, the lava raindrops fell into Silverwind City and were immediately riddled with holes.

This is not a simple lava jet, but an elemental fluid that condenses the high-level flame law.

Gong Wu casually grabbed one in the air and watched the "raindrops" condense into an egg-sized [Fire Element Gem] in his hand.

Everyone looked at it and marveled.

Just a miracle.

They already knew that a god-level red dragon died under this cave in ancient times, but they didn't expect that it still retained such exaggerated extraordinary characteristics even after it had been dead for countless years.

After the volcano erupts, just picking up the stones all over the mountains and plains will probably make you rich.

At this time, Isabel's crystal eyes shrank, she excitedly pointed at the figure standing in the sky in the distance, and shouted softly, "Look, it's the teacher!"

Everyone's eyes turned to him instantly, and their breaths froze.

Qin Rushi and Gong Wu's expressions were very serious, and they had already entered a state of demonic relief.

Now is the most critical time. Only after Ji Xun has tested the Balrog's combat power can he decide whether to stay or leave.

The pillar of fire in the cave continued to erupt, and the flowing magma flowed like a red river along the cliff to the depths of the abyss.

The crater was like a scarlet eye opened by hell, and before long, a terrifying aura descended.

From the sputtering lava, a huge creature slowly crawled out.

The huge shadow gradually emerged.

Its body is so huge that it almost occupies the entire crater.

Two groups of faint blue will-o'-the-wisps danced in the empty eye sockets on the bull's head. Long horns extended from both sides of the head, and lava dripped from the horns.

This behemoth was covered with armor-like black lava. Black flames loomed between the cracks, and the temperature visible to the naked eye burned and distorted the void.

It is that [Fire Demon King Ganur].

Ji Xun stood in mid-air with Lin Takong in the air. Looking at the monster in front of him, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Tsk, tsk, this fire element is really exaggerated."

The Balrog is a pure elemental creature, and is the personification of the elemental law.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the upper limit of the fire element law could reach such a high level.

Using data to compare, Ji Xun feels that his fire law is about 1,000, which is already the limit of the plane that human card masters can touch.

The [Fire Demon King Ganur] in front of him is at least 3000+, or higher.

That's the level that Ji Xun looks up to now. It feels like the highest peak on the ground, but it doesn't touch the latitude of the sky.

This also means that the fire of the Flame Demon King can easily burn through everything!

Shields, spells, gear... everything!

Under the erosion of this law of absolute disparity, there is no restraint at all, and the flame can burn all other elements.

Including Ji Xun’s [True Explanation of Everything].

The fire element he can decompose is fire that is similar to what he understands, not the flame of the Fire Demon King.

It’s no wonder that for countless years, the dragon lizard clan suffered heavy casualties in order to repair the seal.

It can be said that if those at the divine level do not understand the "power of rules", no card master at the elemental level can defeat this fire demon.

A thousand meters away, even with the [Fire Avoidance Ring], the repulsive layer of the 'Sunless Sun', and the body protection of Gang Qi, Ji Xun could sense the fatal threat that burned through all protective measures and quickly scorched the skin. .

It was precisely because of this feeling that made his scalp tingle that he grinned, and an eager idea appeared in his eyes.

Now that I have seen this [Fire Demon King Ganur] with my own eyes, I have analyzed the basic situation.

The opponent's advantage is obvious. The absolute law of fire corrodes anyone who touches them.

Read the original text in Liu#9@书/吧!

The shortcoming is also obvious, that is, the displacement speed is very slow.

As long as you can avoid long-range attacks, there is almost no danger.

When Ji Xun saw this, the JOKER curse card in his hand was instantly activated: "Poker Game·Red and Black. I am the Flame Emperor."

On the side of rules, the air around him suddenly became distorted, as if his whole person turned into a ball of flame.

He knew that the only way to save his life was to use the power of rules.

But this Fire Demon King is completely different from the two ninth-level ones we encountered before. It is almost only one step away from the condensed godhead.

It's like a layer of window paper, you can't poke it, it will break if you poke it.

Even if Ji Xun could change some rules, he would be easily destroyed by this flame demon.

Forget about restraint or anything.

So Ji Xun simply turned himself into the "Fire Emperor", and his ability to control flames was enhanced by rules.

Flame versus flame, the only effect is that it burns, which doesn't hurt that much.

After Ji Xun finished all this, he took out a rocket launcher from the storage ring and fired a cannonball at the Balrog.

This kind of damage had no effect on the Balrog at all, but it was enough to sneer at him.

Balrogs are pure elemental creatures and do not possess much intelligence.

It watched itself being provoked by humans, and as it roared, sparks and black smoke flew out from its mouth and nose.

Immediately, a pillar of fire like dragon's breath spurted out from his mouth.

A "swish" sound.

The fire pillar was so fast that it swallowed up Ji Xun's afterimage almost instantly.

No need to hit, but anything within a hundred meters of the fire pillar will be instantly burned to ashes.

Just like the rock under Ji Xun's feet just now, it melted into a river of magma just by the heat wave of the fire pillar that burned the space.

And a thousand meters away, Ji Xun, who was able to teleport away with the help of Ivan's ability, also looked very happy and muttered: "What an exaggeration. The space is distorted."

This feeling of lingering fear made Ji Xun fearless and his blood boiled.

It can be said that if Ivan hadn't helped with the spatial teleport just now, his own spatial ability would have been wiped out on the spot.

Faced with this [Fire Demon King Ganur], even at the ninth level, he sprayed without making a sound.

Fortunately, with Ivan and Ji Xun being able to predict everything 100%, there was a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, he took out another rocket launcher, raised his hand and blasted it with one shot.

The Balrog was enraged and slowly chased after him while spitting pillars of fire randomly.

On the other side, in Yinfeng City more than ten kilometers away, Qin Ruzhi and others saw the Balrog coming out of the crater, and they were already sweating.

Even though the terrifying fire element was so far away, they felt as if they were being roasted on a fire.

In the field of vision, wherever the flame demon passed, the rocks were rapidly melting like soft mud.

And looking at the speed of the fire-breathing fire demon, even a martial saint like Gong Wu, whose physical body reacts to the extreme, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

If it were him at that moment, he would probably turn into ashes as soon as he sprayed it.

The three little guys swallowed their saliva and were already stunned.

Isabel herself is a red dragon blood descendant. She has an extremely keen sense of the fire element. The trembling crystal eyes reflected the terrifying look of the Balrog. She stuttered when she spoke: "The level of the Balrog's laws is probably redder than the ninth-level pure blood." "The dragon is taller"

Darcy also said with a solemn expression: "Yes."

After a pause, Isabel asked doubtfully: "But why didn't the teacher use water-based means to restrain it? Instead, he used a fire rule?"

With her current knowledge, she couldn't understand what she saw.

Darcy understood a little more clearly and said: "Because the restraint at that level has no effect. The moment the Balrog appeared just now, the thermal radiation easily burned through the teacher's body-protecting Qi. The gap at the legal level was at least three times greater. , elemental restraint makes no sense in this case.”

"oh."

Isabel also recognized this, her little face was so nervous that she didn't dare to move away.

David beside him seemed to understand, and asked again: "What is thermal radiation?"

Darcy responded: "A scientific term. It's roughly 'element conduction'."

David: "Oh."

The three of them stayed here just to see the world.

But Qin Rushi and Gong Wu were not.

Watching Ji Xun in the distance repeatedly mocking the Balrog for leaving the crater, Gong Wu also said solemnly: "It seems that Ji Xun is preparing to lead it away from the nest and implement the original plan."

"Um."

Qin Rushi also nodded.

It is written on the stone tablet that there is a "Shield" deep in the cave, and you can get it as long as you lure the Balrog away.

Of course they want to try.

If Ji Xun could lure away the flame demon, he would have completed the most important and dangerous step.

But now that I see the strength of this Balrog, I can tell with my toes that this behavior is very dangerous. It can almost be said that any accident will lead to death.

Moreover, the situation deep in the lava is unknown, and there is no certainty even for two eighth-level people.

But now the opportunity is right in front of him. No one can guarantee that Ji Xun will be able to hold off the hatred of Yan Mo. This opportunity cannot be missed.

Gong Wu did not flinch and said bluntly: "My Gang Qi is very effective in resisting the fire element. I'll go there."

Qin Ru shook his head and interrupted: "It's better for me to go. The situation in the crypt is complicated, and the abilities of the immortals are more suitable for exploration. Senior Gong's speed has an advantage, so it's better to Ce Ji Xun outside."

Gong Wu thought for a moment and said nothing more: "Okay!"

This plan is extremely risky, and no one can say that it will survive.

As soon as he finished speaking, three will-o'-the-wisps appeared next to Qin Rushu: "Immortal method·Green Lantern Divine Fire!"

Although her rank has not yet reached the ninth level, she has already come into contact with some higher-level things through her interactions with Ji Xun in the past few days.

Moreover, the God-stealing Bai family is a family inherited from the Talon Empire, and there are many immortal families who worship it.

These three will-o'-the-wisps are excellent body-protecting fire spirits.

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure had disappeared from sight.

Gong Wu looked at Darcy and the other three and said, "Be careful. It's wrong to underestimate them. Use the teleportation array to escape immediately."

Darcy and the three others responded in unison, and in a blink of an eye they were gone.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"."

On the other side, a brilliant light like fireworks exploded in the dark crack.

Ji Xun kept taunting the Balrog and pulled him out of his lair.

It seems like just dodging and ridiculing, but this process is actually full of dangers.

Probably possessing some consciousness fragments of ancient gods, [Fire Demon King Ganur] is like a moving forbidden curse jet, and it uses various flaming forbidden curses to cleanse the ground.

Those forbidden spells that Ji Xun had only seen in classics, and even the lost ancient flame magic, were released in the hands of this monster with just a raise of his hand.

Large areas of the surrounding mountains melted in the Forbidden Curse Wash, and the magma flowed along the cliffs to form a large group of spectacular flame waterfalls.

Ji Xun also thought about whether he could induce the monster to fall into the endless abyss, but it turned out that although the Balrog was not very intelligent, his instincts were still very strong.

Aside from being a bit sluggish when it comes to being lured, his offensive instincts are also top notch.

Ji Xun endured this extremely high-pressure death threat for most of an hour.

He knew that Qin Ru was already in the crypt.

The longer he holds on, the greater the chance that Qin Rushi will find the shield.

Time passed little by little. For Ji Xun, every second was like walking on the edge of a knife. A slight mistake could result in death on the spot.

The ultimate law of fire distorted space, not only perception, but also the signal of the communicator became intermittent.

Qin Ruzhi has been in the underground cave for a long time, and Ji Xun doesn't know what is going on down there.

The only thing you know is that you are still alive.

The turning point came very suddenly, and an intermittent response suddenly came from the communicator: "Ji Zhao has arrived!"

Ji Xunyi is happy.

However, before he could be happy for long, [Fire Demon King Ganur] suddenly turned around and ran towards the lair!

Balrog realizes that the treasure has been stolen and is returning to his nest!

However, Ji Xun and others had already expected this scene.

Gong Wu, who had been at the predetermined location in the distance, immediately jumped up and acted as the second bait. At the same time, he activated the preset trap, and the large elemental interference restriction was opened.

This kind of restriction can interfere with the perception ability of elemental creatures. It was useless to Ji Xun before, just waiting for the unexpected situation now!

The effect seems to be pretty good.

As soon as the Balrog turned around, his perception seemed to be disturbed, and he stood there for a moment in confusion.

However, before Ji Xun could breathe a sigh of relief, he sensed the "angry" emotion in Yan Mo.

The pressure that was more terrifying than the ninth-level dragon swept over, and Ji Xun's expression suddenly changed: "It's violent!"

In the communicator, I don’t know if Qin Rushi heard it.

But in a blink of an eye, Ji Xun saw the Balrog's speed increase several times and rush towards the lair.

Ji Xun instantly deduced in his mind that Qin Ruzhi had no time to escape.

And what's worse is that the Balrog seemed to know that the human who stole the house was about to escape, so he opened his mouth and spat out a pillar of flame that was several times more terrifying than before!

Ji Xun sensed the spatial coordinates on Qin Rushi's body. If she were to rush out at this moment, she would hit the pillar of fire!

"not good!"

Ji Xun screamed in his heart and without any hesitation, he used teleportation to appear next to Qin Rushi in the cave.

He knew the terror of this flame, and anyone who touched it would definitely die.

Only if I teleport there, I might have some chance to take her away!

The scene around him changed. Ji Xun took a step forward and saw Qin Rushi next to him.

Qin Rushi also saw him!

The two looked at each other without any communication at all, and their expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Because the deadly flames had already spurted in front of the two of them.

The indescribable laws of terror swallowed up the lives of the two people like lightning.

Almost at the moment before turning into ashes, Ji Xun instantly cast the teleportation spell engraved on the curse card in his hand, but even so, he still felt that there was a high probability that he would be severely injured.

At this moment, Qin Rushi had already raised the silver shield in his hand.

Ji Xun glanced sternly and saw the bright light shining on the shield, and the sense of fatal crisis in his heart suddenly disappeared.
