MTL - Cataclysm King-Chapter 49 Frost Knight's booty is worth a fortune

  Chapter 49 The Frost Knight’s Spoils Are Really Valuable

  Ji Xun heard from the hunters that the nobles in the upper city are really rich, and the salary of a casual guard is tens of thousands a month.

   And there are hundreds of such elite guards in the Governor's Mansion.

   One can imagine how rich the governor of the Cao family is.

  So, corpses should be very valuable, right?

  Ji Xun walked all the way, and the skeletons in the passage had piled up into mountains, and the ground was covered with bone meal.

  Skull monsters are a very special kind of undead monsters. As long as their heads are not completely smashed, even if they are cut in half, they are still "alive".

  At this moment, in the pile of bones in the corridor, there are many broken hands and feet still crawling around.

  Ji Xun didn't feel panicked at all when he looked at it, and walked over stepping on his bones.

  While walking, his gaze was still searching for something in the pile of bones.

   After walking a few corridors, Ji Xun suddenly stopped.

  Because his eyes saw a smear of metallic white in a pile of bones.

   That is a frost knight armor!

   "I got rich."

  Ji Xun's eyes lit up immediately.

  As he expected, the group of people in the Governor's Mansion were too busy fleeing for their lives just now, and there was no time to collect the dead bodies.

  Ji Xun walked over, opened the pile of skeletons, and saw a shriveled corpse.

  The corpse is in a very strange state.

  It had just died not long ago, but it was drained of flesh and blood like a mummy.

   Not even a single bit of Transcendental characteristics remained.

  If it weren’t for the fact that the Frost Knight came in today, people would think that the corpse had been dead for many years.

  Ji Xun looked at the battle traces around him, and frowned: "There is no external injury, so the [Keeper]'s attack method is to ignore the defense of monsters and directly devour the soul and flesh?"

   "Hiss, this method seems to be impossible to prevent."

   He gasped.

  Cao Family's Frost Knight's full-body heavy armor is famous for its advanced armor, with extremely high resistance to both objects and monsters, and the bullets are basically harmless.

  Ordinary small workshops simply cannot produce such sophisticated armor.

  Even for this basic type of soldier, the reward price on the black market exceeds one million.

  But the armor on the mummy is well preserved, but the body has been drained.

   It also proves that the secret keeper's attack method is not a conventional physical and magic attack, but a mysterious method that cannot be understood at present.

   After Ji Xun checked and confirmed the cause of death of the corpse, he didn't look any further.

  After all, he didn't intend to face the unkillable monster head-on. It doesn't matter what method the monster uses to kill.

   Anyway, you will die if you encounter it.

  Instead of entangled in the dilemma that cannot be changed, it is better to think about something happy.

  Ji Xun optimistically took off the storage ring on the corpse's hand, and muttered expectantly: "Let me see if the guards of the Governor's Mansion are as rich as the legends say."

   Looking at it, there is a full half a square meter of space.

   Just this space ring is worth a lot.

   Waiting to see what was in the ring, Ji Xun also had a little surprise on his expression.

  Frost Knights are all close-combat occupations of the order path [6 of Spades-Retribution Iron Guard]. There are basically no messy things in the storage ring, basically all kinds of supply potions.

  【Advanced Hemostatic Potion】, 【Advanced Healing Potion】, 【Advanced Recovery Potion】, 【Muscle Recovery Potion】, 【Endurance Potion】in a neat row.

   These are not the miscellaneous goods in the hands of hunters.

   These glass bottles are all hung with sterling silver nameplates "produced by Alderaan Alchemy Pharmaceutical Factory".

  Pharmaceuticals are hard currency in the market at any time, especially the high-end products produced by these large smelters, which are usually more effective than those sold on the black market in Innocence City, and the quality is more stable.

  The corresponding price is also higher.

  Just these medicines are roughly worth hundreds of thousands.

   "Tsk tsk. The guards of the governor's mansion are really rich."

   Ji Xun felt emotional in his heart.

  These high-end medicines are rarely seen on the black market, and they are just useful to him.

   When exploring caves in the wild, potions are the hunters' second life.

   Looking again, there was a two-handed sword next to the corpse.

  Ji Xun picked it up and tried it with great interest. It was very heavy, about thirty kilograms.

  This sword cannot be used by ordinary people at all.

  【Frost Great Sword】

  Quality: Silver

  Detailed Explanation: The excellent knight sword custom-made by Rox Blacksmith Workshop forge contains strong ice magic power; ice damage +56%, sharpness +3. With the skill [Frost Qi Slash], infuse mana to slow down and freeze the target.

   "The hiss is so sharp."

  Ji Xun looked at the cold light on his tenacity and sighed with emotion.

  It is very rare for a two-handed sword to have such sharpness.

  And it comes with ice damage, which is already out of the scope of ordinary iron weapons, and is already an enchanted weapon.

   It is estimated that it can be sold for a very good price.

  The sword is a good thing, but it doesn't have a strength value above "10", so using this sword is completely cumbersome.

  Ji Xun tried a few times before losing interest.

  He took out two cards with dark silver spells from the card slot of the corpse, pinched the six-pointed star on them and poured in the spell power.

  The blue light that bloomed from the card covered the great sword.

   In a blink of an eye, the great sword was contained in the card, and turned into a card with a two-dimensional pattern of a white great sword printed on it.

   I have to say that the equipment storage card is not only magical, but also very easy to use.

   It is like a special scabbard, which can easily store this cold sword without maintenance and keep it sharp at all times.

  Easy to carry and easy to take out.

  Ji Xun also used cards to put away the armor on the corpse.

  He doesn't need these things, but if they are sold on the black market, no one dares to accept them.

  If you really want to sell all the money, it can almost be said to be rich overnight.

   It is also enough for Ji Xun's future needs for a long time.

  He can use the money to buy some high-end firearms, ammunition and mechanical equipment that he fancy but had no money to buy before, buy some martial arts classics, and even go to the auction house to see if he can buy some expensive skill training cards.

   Loot of this value is hard to come by.

  In normal times, even if it is the Frost Knight who died in battle, these armors will definitely be recovered by other guards. Where will there be opportunities for outsiders to pick up the corpse?

   That is, in this maze.

   It happened that someone was going to ambush the governor's group.

   "The wealth of the noble class is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

  Ji found a dead body and was in a good mood.

  This Frost Knight is equipped with a top-level luxury that many hunters cannot expect in their entire lives.

   This is just a guard.

  A real noble possesses unimaginable wealth.

   It is said that the Cao family in Innocence City is only a branch of the Cao family in the Federation. There are still many such middle-level nobles in the Federation.

  Ji Xun calmed down the emotions in his heart, and carefully searched along the corridor.

  Thinking of a reorganized Frost Knight Legion in the Governor's Mansion, there should be more than one corpse left behind.

   Just walk all the way, looking all the way.

  Ji Xun felt that he had carefully avoided almost all passages he thought were dangerous.

  But fate often plays tricks on people like a clown, surprises or frightens people.

  He hadn't found the second body yet, but he heard the sound of fighting from the end of the corridor again.

   Bang, bang, bang

  Ji Xun couldn't help but said, "Again?"

  But then I thought about it, this road was run by people from the Governor's Mansion before, theoretically speaking, it shouldn't be that group of people who came back.

   And listening to the movement of the battle, it is not as exaggerated as before.

   It should be some other lucky survivors.

  In my impression, there was no better place to hide in the corridor behind me for a long distance, and Ji Xun didn't wander around. He just looked for a bifurcation on the spot, and chose to lie down and play dead again.

   Not long after, I heard the tide-like squeak sound coming from the tunnel, getting closer and closer.

  The sound of leather boots stepping in the corridor can be easily distinguished from the skeleton monster.

   There are not many people, it seems that there are only two?

  The two people who were being chased by the monsters were also very smart, and they probably had the same idea as Ji Xun. Running along the passageway pushed by the group of people in the Governor's Mansion will save you from encountering many monsters.

   Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.

  If there were only two of them, they shouldn't have messed with the 【Keeper of Secrets】.

   Otherwise, he should have died long ago.

  He looked over.

  The two people who rushed over were both dressed as hunters, gas masks covering their faces, and brown sackcloth cloaks on their bodies.

   But the two ran ahead, and the skeleton army behind them chased more and more.

   And it looked like one of them was seriously injured.

   While running, there was a line of blood behind him.

  Ji Xun saw this, and had no intention of meddling at all.

  Glanced at the crowd of skeletons from the corner of the eye, he didn't see any trace of the [Keeper of Secrets], so he pretended to be dead in peace.

   At this time, the two just ran to a T-junction, and the movement attracted another monster from another corridor.

  Like a confluence of rivers and rivers, the skeleton monsters immediately formed a posture of encirclement.

  Seeing that it was about to be submerged by the tide of skeletons, one of the predators swished out several cards.

   Those cards exploded in the air, and a few zombies with terrifying faces appeared through the psychic.

  【Steel Zombie】, 【Toxic Zombie】, 【Fire-breathing Zombie】.

  As soon as a few zombies appear, the skeletons that are aimed at will output a meal. It can be used as a meat shield, can breathe fire, and can spit corrosive acid, and it looks very powerful.

   Then, there is no more.

  Skeleton monsters are absolutely suppressed in numbers. Although those little zombies are very powerful, they are instantly overwhelmed by the skeletons.

   But Ji Xun looked in his heart and asked curiously: "Mysterious sequence [square 4-psychic]?"

  He was also the first card master to see this sequence.

  "Spiritualist" is also a very popular profession among spell card masters.

  As long as they can find the corresponding devil contract and professional card, many hunters will choose to go this way.

  Because this profession is really suitable for wild hunting.

   This is a Summoner class.

   Not only can summon zombies, but also all kinds of abnormal monsters, monsters, evil spirits, and even disasters can be psychic.

  As long as they can be contained and a psychic contract is signed, theoretically all monsters can become combat partners.

   There are psychics to explore some dangerous places, and the danger will be much less.

   But the shortcoming is that the body is weak.

  Psychic masters don’t have the strong spell protection of pure magic spell card masters, nor do they have the physical strength of melee-type professionals.

  But the psychic is powerful enough, and also has good combat power.

   It is a quantity to win.

   High ceiling.

  Ji Xun had thought about this career route before. He has no physical problems, and it is good to have a few summons.

   I didn't expect to see one just now, so I took a few more glances.

   These two are not weak, they seem to be official spell card masters.

   Right now it won't die, but it won't necessarily happen later.

  Not to mention that if they continue running like this, there will be more and more skeletons.

  Just physical exertion can kill them alive.

   And running like this, whenever I meet a [Keeper of Secrets], I'm afraid I will burp on the spot.

   "Strange, it's not the field agents of Golden Oak, nor the people from the Governor's Mansion, could it be the previous looters?"

  Ji Xun looked at the outfits of the two, and was no longer curious about their identities.

   However, the next moment, the cloak of the man running in front was partly lifted by the gust of wind, revealing a bit of long flowing silver hair.

  Ji Xun's eyes keenly caught this point, and his expression immediately became very subtle.

  He had never seen a second one with silver hair.

   If you just felt inexplicably familiar just now, then you can confirm that this is an old acquaintance now.

  Ji Xun was surprised and said, "Ninth day? Why is she in this maze?"

   Thanks for the support of \'GT Wanlihong'500,'20210228121941264','20210206183748505', thank you.
