Not long after running, Ji Xun discovered that the underground palace seemed to be a "return-shaped" underground palace structure.
The area is huge.
But it's also limited.
Ji Xun and the others did not try to run through the entire underground palace.
You don't need to walk around to guess that there are some "Secret Keepers" wandering in some corners of this underground palace.
The three of them followed the traces of the battle on the ground and passed through a corridor before arriving at a secret room filled with broken bones.
From a spatial perspective, this is the most central location of the underground palace.
Looking at the various patterns and mysterious symbols carved on the wall, Ji Xun immediately realized that this was the final exit recorded in the adventurer's notes.
Ji Xun looked at the broken bones on the ground and muttered: "All the skeleton monsters have been cleaned up. This saves trouble..."
According to the adventurer's diary, there should have been many elite skeleton monsters near this secret room.
It is also very tricky for low-level spell card masters.
But now it's all reduced to broken bones.
[Grand Cemetery Maze] The disaster level of this extra-dimensional space itself is not high, and the strongest skeleton monster is at most a second-level disaster level.
A third-level elite frost knight would naturally kill indiscriminately.
The guy just stayed here for two or three days, and he couldn't suppress the San value. After a lot of pulling from the monster, he had to clean it all up.
This was quite convenient for Ji Xun and the others.
The only pity is that when high-level spell card masters come to brush low-level dungeons, they rarely produce materials or cards.
Even if you can actually go out, the settlement evaluation will be very low.
It's a pity that the silver skeleton commander is all over the ground.
In the corner, you can also see the collapse marks of someone sitting on a broken bone. I think this secret room is also the hiding place of the Frost Knight these days.
Chujiu didn't sense that there was a [Secret Keeper] near the secret room. He thought it was that guy who had pulled all the monsters away.
Don't think about it, there is no safer place in the underground palace than here.
After observing the surroundings, he said: "Let's wait here."
There is no way to avoid it.
It's better for them to choose a place to relax and wait for work.
Chujiu nodded, "Yeah."
Go back to the zigzag maze, and if you run further, you will either encounter a monster or bump into the Frost Knight.
There is no need to continue escaping, just wait here.
...
Chujiu's injury hadn't fully recovered yet. After coming in, he found a place to sit cross-legged and meditate, and was planning a big move.
Nan Jing knew that he could not help him much, so he rummaged through the pile of skeletons, trying to find some materials for making psychic skeletons in case of emergency.
Ji Xun entered the dark secret room and his eyes were immediately attracted by the stone carvings on the wall.
He illuminated the lamp and carefully observed the contents of the carvings bit by bit.
The carvings in this secret room are the most numerous and complex in the entire maze, and the amount of information is also the largest.
To others, these were engraved patterns of mysterious symbols, but in his eyes, they had turned into intermittently decipherable words.
Although it cannot be fully translated, the combination of pictures and text can help to understand the general meaning through half-guessing and half-guessing.
Judging from the murals and stone sculptures I saw outside before, it should be a huge mausoleum built for himself by a certain king of the ancient Tarun Dynasty.
And this maze is only the entrance level of the mausoleum.
There is not much information about the tomb in the murals.
But Ji Xun looked at it, looked up at the core of his head, and saw the mysterious symbol "☾" again.
It's obviously just a simple moon symbol, but like magic, it vaguely touches some kind of dormant instinct that reaches deep into the soul, awakening the horrific memories inherited from the bloodline.
It was a feeling that cannot be described in words.
It was as if... I saw an indescribable god.
I had the same feeling when I was in the Tailor Street Cellar.
In order to prevent himself from being contaminated by some mysterious power, Ji Xun immediately put on a clown mask.
But this is just a different dimension after all, and some things are not as real as the real thing.
After some observation, I didn't find any hints of "Old Miracles".
Looking at the surrounding four stone pillars, their distribution positions are also very subtle, as if they coincide with some kind of formation.
The content carved on it is that some people wearing robes like priests are performing a mysterious ceremony. Although the priests worship in different directions, they are all towards the moon symbol on the central ceiling.
Ji Xun looked at the patterns of the corpses that were hung for sacrifice, and he felt familiar at first sight, and thought to himself: "Isn't this the same ritual of skinning and sacrificing in the basement of Tailor Street?"
The moment he saw these stone carvings, he had a flash of inspiration.
But what is the purpose of this sacrificial ceremony?
Do you want to communicate with an ancient god?
Or pray for strength?
He didn't find the exact answer in the engraving.
Moreover, although the card master borrows the power of demons, he has no belief in gods. Therefore, in Ji Xun's impression, the Ancient God's Families and the Old Day Sect were similar to sewer rats in the eyes of the hunters. They were a group of crazy and extreme aliens.
Ji Xun didn't go to see more of the sacrificial ceremonies. His first priority now was to find a way out.
But there are too many carvings in the secret room, and I can't even read them all in a while.
Before he could finish reading, the sound of armor clanging and rubbing came from the empty corridor.
Chujiu, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted softly: "Here he comes."
Ji Xun was not surprised.
The Frost Knight is here.
...
Even if he is weak and injured, the level 3 spell card master is still oppressive.
The three of them watched the frost knight wearing white armor walk into the secret room, step by step, the armor clanking.
The overwhelming momentum was like a mountain falling.
Ji Xun felt like his breathing had stopped, but there was a cold light hidden in his eyes.
It was obvious that he had bad intentions.
Like a sick tiger seeing three rabbits, his eyes were still sharp in the T-shaped gap in the iron helmet, and he did not hide the contempt in his eyes.
The class concept in this world is very strong. Nobles and commoners are completely different from each other, let alone the exiled sinners in the Innocence City.
In the eyes of the Frost Knight, the people from the lower city were like monsters in the sewers, as if being in the same room would pollute the air.
This is contempt for strength and status.
It is also the arrogance that has been engraved in the bones of the aristocracy for thousands of years.
After taking a look at the three of them, a small character dressed as a corpse collector and two card masters dressed as adventurers were not worth mentioning.
The Frost Knight meant no nonsense at all, and asked in a condescending tone: "How did you get here?"
He didn't even care who these three were.
The potential threat and murderous intent in that tone was not concealed at all.
Ji Xun naturally understood this threat and pretended to be trembling: "I... we found an adventurer's diary, and we happen to know a little bit about solving puzzles... so we found it here."
The Frost Knight listened and immediately felt that the note might be the key to getting out!
He couldn't wait and said in a commanding tone: "Give me the notes!"
Ji Xun also handed over the notes in the backpack on his waist very wisely.
The Frost Knight got the note. The thick armored gloves could hold the sword, but they couldn't turn the thin pages.
He stood the sword next to the stone pillar beside him, took off his armor gloves, still holding the mysterious box in one hand, and opened the notes with one hand.
When I saw this, I suddenly felt enlightened.
With so many people coming in, there will always be a few lucky ones who survive.
Just like himself.
And the three people in front of me who found this note.
But after looking at it, Frost Knight also found that there seemed to be no way to record it based on the contents of the notes alone.
He frowned, turned around and asked, "Can you solve riddles?"
Ji Xun responded timidly: "Yes. We discovered that the maze passage was moving before, and then we ran in according to the instructions in the notes."
Ji Xun said this just to give this guy a psychological hint: We are all your hope of getting out.
Once a fight actually breaks out, the other party will definitely not dare to kill him immediately.
Unless absolutely necessary, this guy would never kill his only hope of survival.
Only those who have experienced despair will grasp a glimmer of hope, even if it is straw.
The Frost Knight could no longer hold back the urge to leave the maze. Without any nonsense, he asked directly: "Have you found any way to get out?"
Ji Xun said bluntly: "I found a clue."
This is also true.
The perception of a third-level spell card master is extremely sharp. If the lie is completely false, no matter how good your acting skills are, it will be impossible to deceive it.
When the Frost Knight heard this, his heart was filled with anticipation, and he immediately asked: "How to get out?"
Ji Xun pointed directly at the carvings on the ceiling and said: "This is a sacrificial ritual pointing to the gods of the past. The clue given by the space is that 300,000 craftsmen were killed in a trap. I guess the death of the craftsmen may have It is also related to the sacrifice of the old god. So I guess those craftsmen may have left some clues in these stone carving symbols..."
This is absolutely true.
Originally, this was Ji Xun's most likely idea to break the situation.
"Sacrifice?"
When the Frost Knight heard this, his thoughts suddenly became clear.
He instinctively wanted to look up at the symbols on the ceiling.
However, although the T-shaped design of the helmet provides excellent protection, the field of vision is also extremely limited.
It is very difficult to raise your head to see what is above you.
His instinct was to take off his helmet to get a better view.
But the moment he put his hand on the helmet, he paused for a moment.
It has to be said that the intuition of the third-level spell card master is still very sharp.
He seemed to realize something, narrowed his eyes and warned coldly: "Boy, you'd better not play any tricks."
Ji Xun's expression was full of panic when he heard it, and his acting skills were flawless.
His position also cleverly blocked the guy's view of Chujiu and Nanjing, so as not to reveal any flaws.
Although this Frost Knight is extremely arrogant, he is actually very cautious.
The pressure of the previous release was actually another test of the strength of the three people. Even if he found that the strength of the three people was not worth mentioning, he did not take it lightly and kept a safe distance from the beginning to the end.
Although the Frost Knight vaguely noticed something intuitively.
But at this moment, the urgency to survive suppressed everything.
He still triggered the mechanism in the armor, and with a click, the helmet opened, revealing a fierce face.
In his eyes, these three people can be killed with just one hand.
He would never have imagined that a first-level card master would be stupid enough to hit him.
Without the restrictions of the helmet, the Frost Knight raised his head, wanting to see those mysterious symbols that he had never seen before.
Little did he know that this was what Ji Xun deliberately led him to do!
...
Almost as soon as the Frost Knight took off his helmet and raised his head, Ji Xun jerked away and retreated.
At the same time, Chujiu also took action!
But how keen is the combat intuition of a third-level spell card master?
The Frost Knight immediately noticed the intention of the little card disciple beside him to retreat violently, and sneered in his heart: Overestimating one's own capabilities!
Thinking that this guy was the key to getting out, he didn't do anything ruthless and raised his hand to grab him, trying to capture him.
Until this moment, he didn't dare to be cruel.
I was thinking of capturing and breaking a leg to teach me a lesson...
However, just as he was about to take action, he strangely found that his body was sluggish for a moment, and his heart suddenly became alert: "Eh... a telepathic attack?"
But the power of thought was not enough to stop his actions, but it actually restricted him for a moment.
Is this something a first-level card master can do?
The Frost Knight noticed something was wrong and tilted his head sharply.
He no longer paid attention to Ji Xun who was running away, but looked at Chujiu who had already attacked.
I don't know why, but looking at this first-level spell card master, the contempt in the Frost Knight's heart was swept away, and his scalp became numb instinctively.
But his combat intuition also allowed him to react immediately. He stretched out a pair of big hands, and suddenly a light blue ice spell was unleashed on his body, and his whole body immediately became chilly.
Even though the magic power has been nearly exhausted after days of fighting, it is still easy enough to kill a first-level card master.
The Frost Knight thought he could instantly subdue this overestimating guy, but the next moment, his expression suddenly changed!
Chujiu has been secretly preparing for a long time. How could he miss another sneak attack?
.......
Frost Knight's upgrades are all on the order path [6 of Spades - Punishment Iron Guard], focusing on a control counterattack. Coupled with the Cao family's secret ice-based silver-quality breathing method [Frost Qi Jin], you can control and fight.
This is also the best combination that has been honed by countless predecessors of Frost Knights for thousands of years.
When fighting with others normally, the enemy will be stuck by the frost spell and unable to escape.
Legion's large-scale control of the field is a nightmare for the enemy.
However, what he never expected was that his high-level ice spell power did not stick to the first-level card master?
Before he could figure out why.
Almost at the moment when he was violent, he watched the mysterious girl wearing a linen cloak suddenly change her aura, and her hair turned into silver hair in an instant. The hand knife with an invisible attitude appeared in front of him, and the shining silver card that was ejected in the air also temporarily released its brilliance.
The Frost Knight's widened eyes finally showed a touch of horror.
He has level suppression. In theory, any spell card master below level three will be greatly restricted.
But the other party's coldness turned out to be suppression at the legal level?
He immediately realized that there was something very wrong with the girl in front of him!
When he saw clearly that the pattern on the card was a twisted human face, he was even more shocked: the second-level mysterious card [Arcane·Collapse of Will]!
Even second-level mysterious spell card masters may not be able to use this second-level arcane card with ease.
She, a first-level spell card master, was activated instantly?
As the knight captain of Governor Cao's family, he knows many high-end secrets.
Seeing this situation, he suddenly thought of a possibility: "You are the one...!"
The only possibility that the Frost Knight could think of to be able to suppress his third-level ice spell power with the first-level spell power at the legal level was that the quality of this girl's fused demon mark was much higher than his own.
He is a fused silver mark, which means that the opponent's fused devil mark is at least of legendary quality!
And almost every legendary card has a great origin.
It's ice-based and also has telepathic attacks...
In Innocence City, there is only that S-class wanted criminal!
The Frost Knight was also shocked. He never expected that the person he met casually in the maze would be that well-established guy.
However, Chujiu didn't give him any chance. Since it was a sneak attack, it was a killer move!
The cold air released by the Frost Knight is as light blue as the sky, while the cold air condensed on her body is as dark blue as the sea!
At the same time as the card collapsed, the demonic power flowing out of the demonic shadow behind Chujiu also boiled, and he punched out at the same time.
At this moment, the spirit was already in chaos.
Frost Knight's entire sensory world seemed to be distorted, and he seemed to see countless figures in his eye circles.
There was a muffled sound of "dong",
If you can't avoid it, you can only take it head on.
Just as the hand knife was approaching, there was an invisible position that was more terrifying than the cold air, piercing into his mind like a needle.
This is a telepathic attack!
Frost Knight's physical condition was already exhausted, and after several days of fighting, his spirit was already on the verge of collapse.
This time, it was as if his soul was frozen, and he was hammered hard, shattering to pieces on the ground.
The two knights were hit hard, their eyes instantly turned white, and their tall bodies staggered back a few steps.
But not dead yet!
Chujiu didn't stop either.
Without giving the enemy any chance to resist, her fists seemed to be surrounded by a layer of frost flames, and she punched the Frost Knight hard in the face.
"Dong" "Dong" "Dong"...
In the huge secret room, there was a muffled sound like a bell.
.......
Not far away, Ji Xun looked at Chujiu, who was so fierce, with bright eyes: "It's much stronger than last time..."
Seeing his old friend's sharp momentum, he was filled with emotion.
It's not like Ji Xun has never seen an official spell card master.
But the one in front of me was the only one who was so ridiculously strong.
Chujiu's outrageous combat power is directly related to the demonic shadow behind her.
When he was in 407 before, Ji Xun didn't know what the shadow behind the silver-haired Chujiu was.
Now I can vaguely guess it.
Although it is not known which of the fifty-two demon gods the demon mark of the Chujiu fusion refers to, the quality must be very high.
At least it is of legendary quality, or an epic source card like [JOKER].
Ji Xun prefers the latter.
After all, there is one thing that she cannot be greedy for, except for her character, which is something of equal value to herself.
The identity of this old friend is not simple.
...
Because he had the upper hand in the sneak attack, Chujiu severely injured the Frost Knight with one move.
Although the battle was fierce, the Frost Knight had lost his mind and was confused throughout the whole process. His counterattack relied more on instinct.
Underestimating the enemy also cost him.
The triple damage from objects, demons, and spiritual power caused him to retreat steadily.
It looks intense, but the actual ending is decided.
Even watching a battle of this level would be life-threatening. The terrifying ice spell was useless against Chujiu, but it was a fatal threat to Ji Xun and Nan Jing.
The moment the two of them fought, the huge secret room instantly turned into an ice cave.
The chill was biting.
Fortunately, the walls in the underground palace were regular objects. Ji Xun and Nan Jing hid behind the walls and were blocked by zombies, so they were not affected much.
finally.
There was a muffled sound of "Boom", and the tall Frost Knight lay dead on the spot.
Seeing that the battle was over, Nan Jing quickly ran over and helped Chujiu, who was vomiting blood.
Ji Xun also asked with concern: "How are you?"
Chujiu Mian responded calmly: "It's not a big problem."
Ji Xun didn't say much. With Nan Jing helping to heal his wounds, he couldn't help much.
He thought as he walked over to the body.
Looking at the overflowing extraordinary characteristics, he couldn't help but expect: This is the body of a third-level spell card master...
Without looking further, Ji Xun's eyes were drawn to the suitcase that the Frost Knight had not put down until his death.
There is something in this box that is immune to the [Keeper of Secrets] curse attack.
With this thing here, it is only a matter of time before the maze is solved.
Ji Xun was curious about what was inside.
