MTL - Cataclysm King-Chapter 77 Holy Nails and Masks

  Chapter 77 Holy Nails and Masks

  The battle of Golden Oak chasing the Silver Moon Cultists in the city is not over yet, and violent explosions can still be heard from time to time.

   And Ji Xun had already robbed the batch of goods, and quietly came to an empty building.

   When I left just now, I was spotted by a few stalkers who didn't know where they came from. They chased me all the way, and finally got rid of them.

   After observing the surrounding environment, Ji Xun put away the scalpel in his hand, and said to himself: "If I knew how to use poison, I wouldn't have to go through such trouble just now."

  If it was like the day I was stabbed by the knife, and I was severely paralyzed after being stabbed, the old way of killing the "nigger" before would not be delayed for so long.

  I only found out after the actual battle that this [Plague Doctor's Scalpel] is really easy to use.

  First-level spell card master, piercing a **** hole.

   Then there is the paralyzing toxin, which is simply a weapon for the sinister.

  However, "weapon poisoning" is also a professional skill.

  Requires a certain level of proficiency and understanding of poisons to master safely.

  Ji Xun is still not proficient in quenching poison, so he didn't dare to smear things on the knife.

  He had tried it before, and the moment the paralyzing toxin was poured out, the volatile gas almost paralyzed him.

   Not to mention smearing it on the knife and taking it at any time, it might not hurt the enemy, but hurt yourself first.

  There are many aspects that need to be improved.

  Ji Xun didn't think about those either.

   Concentrated his thoughts, he found a place where he could advance and retreat freely, and checked his previous gains.

  The two storage rings were opened first, and it was confirmed that there was nothing to track and locate inside.

  A set of soft leather armor used by assassins is not bad, it is the biggest reliance on the old road just now to not be killed.

  But compared to Frost Knight's inner armor, it is also much worse, and it is also a bargain.

  Ji Xun opened the cloth bag and looked at the two most difficult trophies.

  The amber-shaped brick is the very familiar 【Secret Cause Psychic】.

  Looking at this thing, Ji Xun couldn't help feeling emotional: "Hey, it's probably the last piece."

   I don’t know how many pieces of this kind the Silver Moon Sect has.

  But I only think of one stronghold.

   Certainly not many.

   And he got three yuan by himself.

   No matter how you look at it, it looks like catching a sheep to pluck its wool, almost bald.

  Now that the Silvermoon Sect’s lairs have been copied, the possibility of them reappearing in the future is not high.

  Accustomed to the soaring physical attributes brought about by absorbing psychics, and then going to the morgue to absorb corpses for several months to achieve the same effect, the gap is huge.

   Ji Xun's thought flashed, and he laughed at himself, it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality.

  But the psychic medium in his hand now is the one he feels most at ease among the three.

   Those people from the Silver Moon Sect are still on the run, so they must not be in the mood to find any psychic.

  Even if they knew that something had been robbed, there was a high probability that they would not dare to look for it.

   Not sure who snatched it away, I found it rashly, and worried about whether it was a trap.

  This piece of psychic energy should be able to devour it smoothly.

  Ji Xun didn't rush to swallow, but opened the oiled paper bag.

  A pitch-black nail was exposed inside.

  The nail was no more than half a foot long, but it exuded a strong breath of death.

   But the strange thing is that after taking another look, it seems to feel a sense of sacredness again.

   Two conflicting visual experiences.

   Looking at Qidi again, Ji Xun knew why.

  【Light and Dark Holy Nail】

  Detailed explanation: Level III ancient relic; holy +9, cursed +9; piercing the target, can seal the energy fluctuations of undead creatures not higher than the level of the relic itself;

   "Sealed relic?"

  Ji Xun looked at the nail and thought it was very special.

   Have both holy and cursed properties, which has never been seen before.

   I don't know if "Lone Wolf" Baron restrained the distortion because of this thing.

  Ji Xun doesn't think there are too many treasures.

  Although the relics used for sealing seem to have no actual combat use.

   But it is a Level III relic after all, and it is worth a lot.

  He was more curious about other things.

  For example, why can't this holy nail be contained?

   Relics can be contained, otherwise they are called cataclysmic objects.

  But this holy nail is not allowed.

  Ji Xun observed it, and soon discovered the problem.

  The "paint color" at the tip of the holy nail is irregular, and upon closer inspection, there is a hint of metallic luster.

   Enlightenment shows nothing, that is, something beyond cognition.

   "This dark golden thing is some kind of blood?"

   Ji Xun thought of something.

  Psychics could not be contained, so he speculated that it might be because of a trace of divinity.

   Now this relic can't be contained, and there is a high probability that it will have the same problem.

  But a bizarre scene happened.

  Ji Xun just played with it in his hand, when enlightenment appeared.

  「You have touched the rich unknown divinity.」

  His eyes froze.

  The psychic shows only a trace of divinity, but the blood on this nail is actually "rich"?

   Could this be the blood of the Demon God?

   Ji Xun was also slightly surprised.

  Why is there such a substance on this nail?

  However, before he had time to think about it, he watched the speck of dark golden blood turn into a wisp of tiny energy particles like golden sand, rushing towards his face.

  It was like a hallucination, and then disappeared.

   "?"

  In the blink of an eye, Ji Xun looked at the dark gold blood that had completely disappeared on the nail.

  He already understood something: the clown mask absorbed divinity.

  Drinking [Efficient Mental Power Restoration Potion] before taking action will last for three hours. In order to prevent mysterious spells from tracking him, he has been wearing a clown mask.

   And this mask is the exclusive relic of 【JOKER】.

  One of the entries is: Absorbable spiritual items increase attributes and improve the quality of the relic.

  Ji Xun didn't know what the mask was going to absorb before, but now he knows.

   This divinity has been absorbed.

  Take off the mask and take a look in Kari. The mask has changed from the previous flesh color to white, as if a layer of foundation has been applied.

  Ji Xun looked at the attributes of the mask again, and his eyes lit up: "Has the relic been upgraded?"

   Not only have the immunity effects of various mysterious systems increased by about 20%, but there are also two more entries.

  1. "Psychic Power Absorption +15%"

  2. "Cognition +2"

   "hiss"

   Ji Xun took a slight breath.

   This clown mask was already an outrageously effective relic. Because of this mask, he also avoided several times of near-death dangers.

  Now the attributes have been greatly improved.

  This means that the threat to him from encountering a first- and second-level mysterious spell card master in the future will be very limited.

   And looking at the two new entries, he also fell into thinking.

  The first one is to absorb external spiritual power and restore oneself to a certain extent, which is quite understandable.

   What is the second cognitive improvement?

  Ji Xun put on the mask and immediately knew what was going on.

  The mask temporarily raised his cognitive ceiling.

  Looking at the nail in front of me again, the enlightened content is also different.

  【Light and Dark Holy Nail】

Detailed explanation: ⅢAncient relic; holy +9, cursed +9; piercing the target, can seal the energy fluctuations of undead creatures not higher than the level of the law of the relic itself; this is a torture tool that nailed an indescribable existence in ancient times , it possesses the power of killing gods and the power of sacredness at the same time, it is a rare good and evil sealed artifact in the world; it also has strong light and dark pollution characteristics;

  Originally, Enlightenment almost only had the introduction of attributes, but now Enlightenment has actually seen some causal origins of this relic.

  Ji Xun looked at Qidi in front of him, and suddenly realized: "The dark gold blood just now, is that blood that cannot be described?"

   His cognition has improved, and the world he sees is different.

   "This ability is fine!"

  Ji Xun even felt that the cognition +2 entry was more useful than attribute improvement.

   It seems that there is no direct bonus to combat power, but Enlightenment can see more information than others. This meaning is not as simple as multi-point attributes.

   But he thought of something, and glanced at the clay pot on his waist.

   In an instant, a basin of cold water was poured on her.

  Still the same.

  Hmm. This function needs to be improved.

  However, Ji Xun is still in a good mood, which also shows that there is still room for improvement in the mask, and he thought: "It seems that in the future, we should pay more attention to things with divine nature."

   I didn’t expect to grab a nail that I don’t know what to use, but accidentally unlocked the new function of the clown mask.

  Ji Xun took out an advanced containment card, activated the card, and [Light and Dark Holy Nail] was immediately contained.

   Now I am not afraid of the inconvenience of carrying it with me.

   After packing up the loot, Ji Xun began to devour the secret psychic medium.

   After a while, it was another night.

  As Ji Xun expected, the process of devouring the psychic went very smoothly, and no one came to bother him.

  In the early morning, the morning steam train whined past the street.

  The hustle and bustle of last night has completely subsided.

A new day has begun.

  Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his black eyes, and his momentum became more and more stable.

  He exhaled a long breath, and said to himself: "The attributes have reached the upper limit of card master apprentices."

took a look.

  The psychic medium in his hand has disappeared, in exchange for an outrageous physical attribute.

  「Ji Xun」

   Strength: 10.82

   Physique: 10.96

   Agile: 10.11

  Toughness: 10.04

   Spirit: 6.37

   Mana power: 3321

  Halo: Doom Gambler

  Element Affinity: Darkness 41/Light 19/Earth 18/Wind 15/Water 16/Fire 11/Thunder 8/Wood 21/Gold 9

  All attributes have basically broken 10.

  Seeing this, even Ji Xun felt like he was dreaming.

  Normally speaking, last night the psychic devoured the attributes that should increase by about 4 points.

   But the actual increase was only 2 points.

   It's not because there is a problem with the psychic medium, but because he has reached the upper limit of the card master apprentice.

  Yesterday to midnight, after the attribute reached 10, Ji Xun obviously felt that the growth rate had slowed down significantly.

  It’s like an athlete in the previous life. After the 100-meter sprint reaches 10 seconds, it is very difficult to increase by 0.01 seconds.

   After all, the psychic cannot stay. Ji Xun saw that he could still hold on, so he continued to devour.

   Until this psychic medium is devoured.

  It feels like eating too much, and the food is blocked in the throat.

  The body is very uncomfortable.

   But the good news is that the attribute value has been forcibly increased to close to 11.

  Don’t underestimate this small gap. The higher the foundation, the higher the attribute increase after job transfer will snowball the gap.

  Ji Xun got up and jumped, the feeling of surging power made him feel better than ever.

   After punching a few times, relying on strength alone, the fist can make circles of ripples in the air, and the popping sound of compressed air can be faintly heard.

  He looked at the lights on the tall tower in the distance, and after a little excitement, he felt a kind of happy trouble: "I have to consider the job change card so soon."

  He went to the black market three days ago, just to hang out.

  I thought I was at least a few months away from facing this problem.

   But he never expected that this time he got a psychic by accident, which directly raised his physical attributes to the peak of Katu.

   If you don't change jobs, it will be very difficult to continue to improve.

  The psychic has digested it, and the Holy Nail has also been contained.

  There is nothing on him that can be missed by others.

  Ji Xun intends to go to the black market to look at professional cards, and also to inquire about last night's information by the way.

   Not long after, he came to the black market on Dark Rain Street.

  On the bounty panel, there were only a few reward orders left.

   The first person to offer a reward was the mysterious leader of the Silver Moon Sect.

  The second one is still the hunchback who controls the undead.

   There is also the missing "Plague Doctor" Hesse.

  The backbone is gone.

  Although the "moon" was robbed in the battle at the auction house last night, those old believers also suffered heavy losses.

   Another difference is that the bounty is too high.

  The above-mentioned people have provided accurate information worth millions.

  Ji Xun also felt that it was a good thing for these old believers to be wiped out, but he always felt that something was missing when he looked at the empty reward list.

   After thinking for a while, he realized: "Hey, Baron's bounty is gone?"

  There is only one possibility, and that is death.

   But it's normal to think about it. Although that guy is invincible at the same level, his methods are still in the normal category.

   The second level can't stop it, just go to the third level.

   In the scuffle last night, someone must be watching him, and it is normal for him to be killed.

   Ji Xun's expression was slightly different, and he still couldn't forget the "Cursed 4 of Spades" that guy fused.

  Silver Moon Sect has suffered heavy losses this time, and it is impossible to make any major moves in a short time.

  But his intuition told Ji Xun that he, the whistleblower, should also go out of the city to avoid the limelight.

  Ji Xun walked around the black market, and found that several old shops were closed, and several new shops opened.

   These small shops in Innocence City are gradually closing down, which is the general trend.

   Walking to the door of the Big Ivan Secret Treasure Shop, it was still lively.

   Ji Xun originally wanted to go in and look at the professional card.

  As soon as I approached, I found a huge billboard at the door of the shop.

  The fancy colored pen on it reads: Our store will hold an internal auction at 9:00 tonight, and the auction will sell legendary materials [Dragon Bone] and [Giant Flesh and Flesh]. Please look forward to it.

  “.”

  Ji Xun saw his eyelids twitch.

  Seeing this material, he didn't know that it was the result of last night's battle.

  Though the mythical undead that came from unknown sources were not killed, some bones and flesh were cut off.

  Legendary material.

   This is a high-end product that many people have never seen before, let alone why they bought it.

   The behind-the-scenes boss of Big Ivan is really powerful, and his business acumen is really strong.

  The materials released last night are in my shop today.

  This internal auction is also limited to the VIPs of the store to participate. Isn't this a new wave of high-quality members?

   And those who are interested in legendary materials are the top floors in the city of innocence.

   This move is really brilliant.

   Ji Xun hasn't reached the level where he can use legendary materials, so he doesn't have much idea.

   But after he looked down, he found that a strange commodity was mixed in the auction catalogue.

   "[Cursed 4 of Spades]?"

   Ji Xun's capitalized question mark face.

  Big Ivan's shop actually got all these things?

  Card masters need professional cards. In addition to buying finished cards in the store, you can also buy card making templates.

  It's like buying a potion recipe.

  With the recipe, you can find materials to refine.

  Although it is a bit troublesome, you still have to find a card maker to help refine it.

  But the probability of buying a silver template is much higher than buying a finished card.

  The choice is also much larger.

   Besides, job card templates, like breathing techniques, are reusable and relatively cheap.

  Ji Xun didn't expect to buy any finished professional cards when he came here today.

   Originally I wanted to ask if there was a suitable card template.

  However, I didn't think about it, and saw [Cursed 4 of Spades] among the auction items.

   This is not a finished card, nor a template, but a "bloody shard".

  Generally speaking, card masters fuse professional cards of gold quality and above.

   It is possible to parse out "template fragments".

  Hmm. Like undigested food in the stomach of the dead.

  Although it sounds a bit creepy.

   But this is how a large part of the top cards on the market are passed down.

   For example, some legendary cards and epic cards.

  Cards of this level are actually physical manifestations of some high-level laws, which are stable and not easily damaged.

  Even if the extraordinary characteristics are absorbed, the template will remain.

   Only need to incorporate some corresponding supernatural materials, and it can become a complete card.

  Gold cards may have less than 10% chance to be resolved, but legendary cards exceed 50%, and epic cards will be resolved almost 100%!

  Because it comes from corpses, this kind of card is also called "Blood Shard".

  When it appears, it usually means something good.

  The devil's mark is almost the same.

  Ji Xun also knew why the fourth young master of the Cao family sent people to chase and kill him like he was crazy before. It was the idea of ​​"killing and exploding cards".

  But the **** shards are almost only possible for the third-level spell card master.

  Because Tier 1 and Tier 2 spell card masters can at most integrate silver-quality professional cards.

  Ji Xun had never considered this direction before.

  But now that the first-order Baron is dead, his fused professional card has been analyzed.

  The only explanation is that the [Cursed 4 of Spades] is very special.

  Ji Xun immediately made up his mind.

  The condition for participating in this auction is a second-level VIP.

  The unregistered VIP card in his hand has been spent twice, just reaching the second level.

  The auction is tonight, so it's good to come and see it.

   Not to mention that it can be bought, he also came to see what is so special about this professional card.
