Chapter 485: Harvesting Gold Coins, Fruits, and Materials

"General land reclamation tasks can be solved by mercenaries. The participation of the Holy Dragon Knight must be a top-secret task of the Holy See. I suspect it may be related to the fragments of the godhead."

"Yes. It seems that the passage from which this mutated snake came is leading to the 'Dead Realm'. Its fragments of godhead should also have come from somewhere."

"."

Ji Xun and Qin Ru thought of a lot when they saw the rotten armor inside the big snake.

Originally, they had planned to explore along the cave.

But now, I immediately gave up the idea.

According to Ji Xun's guess, the "Dead Zone" area, even if the journey goes smoothly, is still at least half a month away from the Blackwater Swamp.

Now it seems that this cave may be a shortcut.

However, the situation in the cave is unknown. If you explore there like this, the probability of encountering danger is very high.

A mutated seventh-level lord monster almost reduced the strength of the Great Sword Group, let alone the unknown area of ​​the "Dead Zone" where eighth-level monsters were confirmed.

If we really want to explore rashly like this, the group may be destroyed.

And the danger is not only the monsters, but also people from the Holy See.

The value of "divine fragments" is immeasurable, and it is a treasure that is coveted by god-level experts.

If they really encounter each other, there will definitely be a conflict.

Now the Holy See, the Holy See of Light, and the Scarlet Sect, the three major outer god sects, are all competing over the "Dead Realm".

These three parties are all forces with the existence of foreign gods.

For others to get involved, the risk is huge.

Therefore, after Ji Xun and Qin Ru discussed it, they decided to follow the original plan and take the originally planned route to see the situation in the Dead Zone first.

While Ji Xun and Qin Ru were pondering the cave, everyone in the Great Sword Group was having a great time searching the temple.

This ruins looks like no one has ever been here and is relatively well preserved.

However, after Ji Xun reminded the Sun Temple that the outer gods might still be there, no one dared to touch anything related to the gods.

For example, the Dragon Guard statue and the dragon throne in the depths.

But even so, the rewards are huge.

"Hahaha, look, there are a lot of gold coins here!"

"It should be for sacrificial purposes."

"Brother Ji Xun, can I get these things?"

"As long as it's not on the altar, it should be fine."

"Okay!"

"."

After all, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and almost everything in the temple has decayed except for the stones.

But soon, the team members found a pool of gold coins in the mud-covered fountain pool at the entrance of the temple.

The dragons have no use for gold, but they are greedy by nature and like all kinds of golden and precious things.

Just like humans like to choose the color of floor tiles, dragons usually use gold coins to pave their nests.

Therefore, many temples related to dragons in the southern continent have accumulated a large amount of gold and silver objects, which are just decorations and do not involve any mysterious power.

After asking Ji Xun, the know-it-all, the guys started digging up gold coins enthusiastically.

The revolutionary army needs these funds.

This can exchange a large amount of supplies for Donghuang's base.

There was a dedicated person handling the big snake, and Ji Xun had no interest in gold coins. He only took a few samples and looked at the golden dragon heads on them.

Relics related to the "Alterac Civilization", especially those pointing to the Light Dragon God, are now taboo in the Irel Empire.

Ji Xun also secretly obtained some documents recently, and only then did he know the origin of the portrait on the gold coin.

It should be the Dragon God Malody who is recorded in the classics as "King of Alterac", "Ruler of the Golden Clan", "Dragon God of Light", "Lord of Justice and Life", etc. Sri Lanka.

Another alien god from the Age of Chaos.

However, in the records of the Airel Empire, it is the "Lord of Bad Omens" and the source of all disasters.

Even that name is taboo.

So little is known about it.

Everyone in the Great Sword Group was careful not to break into the core of the temple, but Ji Xun was interested in examining the blurred lines and exquisite reliefs on the stone carvings.

These things are not untouchable.

But don't touch it with the subjective thoughts of "greed" and "blasphemy".

Otherwise, directed evil thoughts will usually arouse the awareness of the divine will.

Ji Xun is also simply interested in the information hidden in these ancient relics.

Usually these murals contain documentary epic stories, recording the great achievements of the rulers.

For archaeologists, it has high research value.

The same goes for the stone carvings of this Sun Temple.

Although most of the reliefs are broken and corroded, one can still understand them even with a vague guess.

The records are all from a human perspective, praising the great golden dragon god who brought them light, food and everything.

Ji Xun thought there was nothing that could surprise him.

However, as I looked at it, I saw a war scene on the relief in the southwest corner of the temple.

As he watched, his eyes froze.

Because, where he focused his eyes, it was a "giant hand"!

"What's going on? Dragon God Marodis has fought with that mysterious giant hand?"

Ji Xun also felt a little incredible.

If he hadn't witnessed with his own eyes the big hand under the Royal Academy [Babel Tower] breaking out of the screen before, he really wouldn't have been able to understand that the blurry palm was a monster!

After all, there is a difference of hundreds of thousands of years. It is a bit like two timelines, and the scenes feel chaotic.

Ji Xun felt that his brain was a little weak.

Previously in "Thousands of Armies Besieging the City", Talun High Priest Nan Shenyu did some science on the ranks of the gods.

There is a lower godhead, a middle godhead, and Emperor Lanlingst has been the only upper god for countless years.

However, for him, the extraordinary realm above the ninth level was just a matter of imagination.

Ji Xun couldn't understand what that meant exactly.

He just felt a strange feeling looking at those murals.

Can you fight the Dragon God head-on with just one hand?

"No wonder the Royal Academy has to continuously extract the divinity from the big hand, otherwise this thing may not be able to destroy the world."

It has taken hundreds of thousands of years, but breaking the seal can only be suppressed by the cooperation of several top-level experts from the Royal Academy. You can imagine how terrifying its original divinity is.

From an energy perspective alone, Ji Xun felt that that big hand might be stronger than all the known elemental veins in the entire Eastern Wasteland combined.

It's so strong that it seems like it shouldn't exist in this cave world.

Just by seeing the content on this carving, Ji Xun seemed to feel that there were some more "decapitated clues" in his mind that had nothing to do with his original knowledge.

It feels like a good jigsaw puzzle of the world. No matter which piece it is, the colors and patterns are all logically connected to each other.

However, at this moment, there are a few fragments appearing out of thin air that have no connection with this world no matter how you look at them.

"."

Ji Xun instantly realized that he might have touched some ancient secrets that had been erased from history.

Think again about the recent situation in the Warcraft Forest.

An idea came to mind: The death of Emperor Lanlingster that year might have something to do with this.

Qin Ru was watching Ji Xun's research, and he also came over, looked at the carvings, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Her knowledge of the archaeological field was not as good as Ji Xun's, so she didn't see much.

Ji Xun pointed to the big hand on the carving and talked eloquently: "Aunt Qin, didn't I tell you before that the Royal Academy has sealed a mysterious big hand."

When Qin Ru heard this, he thought it was a coincidence: "Is this the hand?"

"Most likely."

Ji Xun nodded and added: "Besides, I suspect this is not an ordinary temple. Instead, it may be part of some kind of super large seal. Look at these formation patterns, they are magic patterns pointing to the seal."

For example, in a six-pointed star or nine-pointed star magic array, the star angles are the angles of the array.

If, as Ji Xun guessed, this temple was an array, then the scale of this seal would be a bit scary.

"seal?"

Qin Rushi also fell into thinking.

However, Ji Xun only saw this bit of information.

He couldn't figure out what it was about at first glance, and no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't follow up.

Before the two of them could murmur more, suddenly not far away, "Demolitionist" Lawson shouted at the top of his lungs: "Leader, it's bad, Captain Bonnie has been poisoned!"

Everyone was shocked.

The chief physician has been poisoned. This is not a small matter.

Even Ji Xun thought something unexpected had happened and quickly approached Qin Ruzhi.

However, before they could get closer, Bonnie, who was lying on the ground, sat up with her head swaying.

She looked at her friends around her who were looking at her strangely, and she didn't forget to complain: "Ah, Luo Sen, you guy, don't yell. I'm not poisoned, I'm just drunk."

Everyone: "."

Ji Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Along the way, he also knew the habits of the team's chief nanny.

Bonnie is a poison master, and she likes to eat some poisons and toxins on weekdays. Firstly, it cultivates the body's poison resistance tolerance, and secondly, she is really greedy.

Just like alcoholism, once it becomes a habit, it becomes addictive.

But if you eat too much, you will occasionally get a toxic overload, which is called "drunken poison".

Seeing Bonnie lying on the edge of the pool, Ji Xun guessed that she was poisoned by the [Plague Fruit].

This is also true.

After Bonnie woke up, she looked at the fruit with the green smoke of the skull, her eyes flashed and said: "Ah, this fruit is too strong. I just sniffed it, and I got drunk?"

However, there was no hint of fear in this tone, only enthusiasm and excitement: "Just this poisonous gas, the toxin level is probably above level seven. If we can really collect it, even if we meet a seventh-level card master, one poison will be enough." He died suddenly on the spot.”

"."

Everyone's eyes twitched inexplicably when they heard this.

Bonnie's expression also showed embarrassment, she looked at Qin Ru and said: "Ah, leader, I want to take this fruit away, but I can't contain it. What should I do?"

She couldn't digest this fruit at her current level, so she could only take it back and study it slowly.

But the premise is that it must be taken away.

Qin Ru tried to get closer to the fruit, but soon felt a burning sensation, and then showed a helpless expression: "My field cannot withstand this kind of poison for a long time."

The level of the poison law is too high for her to bear. It is impossible for ordinary containment cards to restrain the terrifying toxicity.

And I don’t dare to use it.

Even if it is forcibly contained, once it is leaked, the entire team will probably suffer.

Seeing that Qin Ru was helpless, Bonnie pursed her lips and looked pitiful: "Huh?"

If your own leader can't do anything about it, then there's really nothing you can do.

Suddenly she thought of something and looked at Ji Xun: "Ji Xun, is there anything you can do?"

Ji Xun thought about it and used an uncertain tone: "I'm not sure whether it can be done."

However, when Bonnie heard this, her dark expression immediately brightened up: "Ah? Do you have any idea?"

Ji Xun did not say much, and took out a few golden containment cards.

After infusing the spell power, a black vortex appeared on the card.

Everyone looked at it, and Bonnie asked curiously: "What kind of containment card is this?"

This is different from any containment card on the market, and it has a law power that they have never come into contact with.

And it obviously looks like a space hole has been opened?

Ji Xun responded: "This is a disposable storage tool I made using the law of space."

I have read so many books in the Royal Library, including rare books on the law of space on the market.

Although I did not learn any space spells, I still learned a few tricks.

For example, the method of making this special space containment card.

He also added: "But I am not sure whether it can withstand this kind of toxin."

But for Bonnie, this is already a big surprise in despair.

As he said, everyone in the Great Sword Group looked at it in surprise, and the fruit in the venom pool a few meters away seemed to be carefully pulled out by an invisible big hand and flew into the air.

Seeing this, Bonnie and the others around her were all stunned.

They looked at the fruit, then at Ji Xun, their expressions seemed to be saying: How did you do it?

You know, this [Plague Fruit] can corrode even the soul.

That is to say, elements, matter and spiritual power, as long as they touch it, they will be corroded.

They tried to pick it with spiritual power just now, but failed.

What do you see now?

Ji Xun actually pulled up the whole poisonous fruit by the roots?

How powerful is this spiritual power?

However, in the eyes of everyone's expectation, Ji Xun suddenly frowned, as if he was exhausted, and the spiritual plant slowly fell into the poisonous water again.

"The corrosion is too strong"

Ji Xun also muttered in his heart and laughed at himself.

The degree of concentration of his spiritual power is still a little bit worse.

It's like a paper hand holding a flame, which burns more and more vigorously.

The spiritual hand was corroded just now, so he didn't pick it up.

Bonnie saw Ji Xun frowning, thinking that he felt embarrassed for making a mistake in front of everyone, and quickly encouraged him: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Ji Xun, you are already super awesome."

This is not a consolation, but the truth.

This scene has long stunned everyone in the Great Sword Group.

Especially those magic card masters who think their mental power is pretty good, none of them think they can do this.

No need to ask, they know that Ji Xun's mental power value is probably ridiculously strong.

At this moment, everyone's eyes are only admiring, and no one has the intention to laugh at the joke.

As she said, Bonnie also frowned, and reluctantly suggested: "Or, let's think of other ways?"

However, Ji Xun said casually: "No."

As she said, before others were puzzled, he took out a bright crystal ball.

If you don't have the strength, then use equipment.

[Moon] This silver moon holy object is the best mental power amplifier.

Ji Xun took it in his hand, and the whole person immediately became energetic.

When he looked again, the "hand of spiritual power" in front of him immediately materialized. The gentle moonlight condensed into a big hand, slowly pulling up the poisonous strain not far away.

"."

Most of the cadres of the revolutionary army knew about this relic.

Now seeing Ji Xun casually taking out the holy relic of the Silver Moon Sect that now dominates the East Wilderness, everyone's expression was indescribably strange.

Why does this guy seem to be very wild?

Ji Xun didn't pay attention to the expressions of the crowd, and this time he pulled up the poisonous strain very easily.

Then he separated the fruits one by one and carefully put them into several containment cards.

When the spiral on the card disappeared, the burning feeling in the air that seemed to be a breath of fire disappeared instantly.

Bonnie was overjoyed: "It's done?!"

Ji Xun held the card in his hand, and his expression was a little uncertain: "It's done. But I don't know how long this card can last."

But it's not a big problem.

Since he can successfully contain it the first time, even if it is broken later, he can seal it the second time.

Moreover, this is a card he made himself. If it is leaked, it can be sensed immediately.

Ji Xun had already convinced everyone with his strength.

After this explanation, the people of the Revolutionary Army were even more amazed at his ability to know everything.

Bonnie was already extremely excited and gave Ji Xun a warm hug of friendship, "Wow, Ji Xun, you are so amazing!"

Qin Rushi was watching from the side, with a gentle smile on her lips.

The materials of the two seventh-level lord monsters were processed, the [Plague Fruit] was successfully contained, and the gold coins were dug into piles.

The group did not stay in the temple for long, and quickly cleaned up the scene and left.

If it was an ordinary monster lord, it would be killed.

But the mutant snake had a trace of [divine fragments] on its forehead.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi both felt that the people of the Holy See might follow the traces of the snake all the way here.

As expected.

A few hours later, when the Great Sword Corps had disappeared deep into the Blackwater Swamp, a group of fully armed mercenaries carefully walked out of the cave where the big snake had come out.

Looking at the spear knight pattern on the emblem, it was the "King's Knights", one of the top mercenary groups in the southern continent.

In order to track down the big snake that escaped from the forbidden land, the King's Corps sent five seventh-level sub-captains this time.

If Ji Xun and the others were still here, they would still be able to recognize the blond and blue-eyed branch leader in this team, who was none other than the William they met at the gate of Djinn City before.

"Captain, there is a ruin here! It seems to be the lair of the big snake!"

"Everyone, be careful, the mutant dragon python king may be hiding here."

"Captain, I'm sorry Jing'er, there are traces of battle in the ruins!"

"."

Soon, the King's Knights discovered that not only were there no traces of the Snake King at all, but the temple had already been invaded early.

(PS. I’m stuck, I’m a little confused, sorry~)
