Cataclysm King

Chapter 406 "Horror Worm Cave: Searching for Malgit, the Ominous Female Insect"

Ji Xun has been lurking many times and is now very familiar with various situations in the southern continent.

Having once 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.

Knowing 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.

However, he has reached the sixth level now, and there are not many options to choose from.

Ji Xun was 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, and then smelting them into raw metal materials and transporting them back to the Southern Continent.

Large quantities often require large transport teams 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 who ventured to search for materials in the ruins, the interception and transportation team arrived much faster.

With enough intelligence to deduce, the risks are basically controllable.

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

Finally came to the conclusion: feasible.

The war in the Eastern Barren seemed fierce, but it was limited to the Eastern Barren.

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

A small, remote kingdom that didn't even have a seventh-level card master. No one really cared about it, and no one thought there would 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 first discovered the Eastern Wasteland.

It was more like discovering a gold mine. The Red Dragon Royal Family 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.

In comparison, although the risks of hunting in the wilderness are high, the rewards are lower than those in conquering the barren Eastern Wilderness.

And most importantly, 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 the transport team was almost 100%.

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

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

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

In a blink of an eye, 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 was mid-afternoon.

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

Most of the people who can hang out 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. 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."

"."

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

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

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

For more than ten days, he was not in a hurry to explore the ruins, but instead asked for information everywhere.

These mercenaries who came out alive from the ruins had 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.

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

Only one person can contact this communicator.

That's Catalina.

When Ji Xun heard the news, his face showed a touch of relief, and he murmured to himself: "Did the interception succeed? Hey, it seems I have to run away."

He waited for so many days, in addition to inquiring about intelligence, just for those rare metals.

Yesterday, Ji Xun used his own means and channels to get a top-secret message: the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce will transport away the rare metals that have been stored for nearly half a month.

This led to the interception plan with Catalina.

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

But the current ruins development is in full swing. The primary task of those masters is to execute the orders of the Holy See, and they will not run a trip to escort the Chamber of Commerce.

And the current high-end combat power of the Alliance Army can easily take down a transport team.

Facts have proved that the interception went smoothly.

This time, the materials that can be forged dozens of hunting god armors were directly obtained.

If the Alliance Army's own pioneering team searched in the ruins, I don't know how many people would die to get it.

The Chamber of Commerce was robbed, and the people of the Southern Continent must have guessed the purpose of the Alliance Army's robbery of these metals. It will not be so easy to intercept next time.

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

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

Take a break for a while, and when the storm has passed, you can come back to rob again.

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

With the intelligence he provided, it will be much easier for Katarina to arrange for the spy to come.

However, once this incident happened, the people in the southern continent must know that there is a "spy".

Ji Xun has never underestimated the reconnaissance masters in the southern continent.

In order to prevent any special means from locking him in and implicating him in the incident, he can't stay in the camp.

Ji Xun originally planned to go to the ruins for adventure.

Just to avoid the limelight.

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

When walking through a corner of a dark alley, Ji Xun had changed from a mustache just now to an elemental card master in a robe.

He had prepared several perfect disguises for himself, which were almost impossible to be exposed.

What's more, the daily hunting tasks of the Adventurer's Guild have increased explosively, and the demand for adventurers is very large.

It's easy to get into a team.

Ji Xun had already picked out several missions, all of which were to explore the C4 area.

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

This is also the area in the southern continent that is currently the deepest in the ruins.

"The C3 area has a super-large war mode space "The Second Acropolis Attack and Defense". All kinds of teams are welcome to cooperate in development and set off immediately!"

"A few violent magic card masters are coming to the C4 area "Zerg" space, and they will set off today!"

""Black Sail Battle Fortress", a hundred-man guard mode, come and challenge the B-level high-difficulty plot. The people are full and set off!"

"."

Ji Xun mixed in the crowd of mercenary unions.

The land reclamation was in full swing, and those large hunter groups arranged people to recruit people at the union site.

Ji Xun was already familiar with various hunting intelligence, and his ears automatically selected the few he needed.

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

At this time, a long line of war slaves chained by iron chains walked on the street.

This scene was not surprising at first.

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

Now a lot of cannon fodder is consumed every day in the depths of the ruins, so the slaves are "fresh" every day.

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

These slaves are not only from the East Wilderness, but most of them are natives of the South Continent.

Originally, Ji Xun would not be surprised.

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

After a closer look, he saw the broken front teeth and the wretched eyes looking around.

That's right, it's Old Man Xu.

Recognizing the acquaintance, Ji Xun's eyes twitched slightly, and he complained in his heart: "Why was this old senior caught again?"

That's right.

It's "again".

The last time we met was almost the same.

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

Now I didn't expect that I would meet him in this way again.

It's normal to think about it. Now the people of the Arel Empire are all over the Old Continent. As long as Old Man Xu is still active in the ruins, it's normal to be caught.

But despite all the complaints, Ji Xun was not worried at all.

Anyway, this old man will not die.

Instead, he should worry about which unlucky people will use this old senior as cannon fodder.

Just as he was thinking about it, a guy with a Thunder Hammer badge on his chest came over and said, "Brother, do you want to play the "Horror Worm Cave" of the "Thunder Group"? The big group is guaranteed and the return rate is high. Look, the slaves are here now, let's start the group right away!"

When Ji Xun saw that Old Man Xu was being taken from the slave trader by the Thunder Group, he raised his mouth slightly with a smile, and immediately agreed: "Okay!"

He was a little hesitant in his heart just now, but now he was gone immediately.

Of course, follow this old senior.

Experience tells Ji Xun that following Old Man Xu is exciting enough, and there is also a survival anchor point, so there is no need to hesitate.

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

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

The continental fragments in the void are like islands in the sea, large and small, far and near.

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.

It was also the first time for Ji Xun to come to the depths of the ruins.

When his feet were firmly on the ground and he 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 in the extradimensional space.

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

Recruiting outsiders is purely to reduce the team's own mortality rate.

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."

"."

Ji Xun listened and looked at the information distributed.

It's similar to what I heard before.

Hunting mode is mainly about 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 group in an extra-dimensional space, with fifty Thunder 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 advantage of the situation and joined 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."

They probably didn't think this group of people could find clues, and their tone was very casual.

The people who listened didn't take it seriously.

Instead, an imperceptible chuckle flashed across Ji Xun's eyes.

This news is not a secret among the mercenaries in the southern continent. People from the Holy See are looking for some ancient [jars].

The Holy Vatican probably got some directional clues. The destruction of Holy Crown City three thousand years ago was directly related to some 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: Malgit the Ominous Female Insect"

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

"Space exploration progress: 25.9%"

"Keywords: Unlimited plot hunting mode"

"Plot clue: A cruel war has begun, and the Holy Crown City is surrounded by a Zerg army under the command of the seven lords of the Scourge, the 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 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."

"Tip: 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 feeling of hair on his hair rising slightly, and a hint of curvature escaped from the corner of his mouth.

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

The feeling of being in a closed and dangerous environment all the time came 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 can 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.

My hidden sixth level is almost the same as normal difficulty.

At the same time, he counted the number of people and muttered in his heart: "The will of space really does not regard Ivan as a human participant."
