Chapter 550: Insect Plague Outbreak

The chosen one chosen by the "Mysterious Worm Mother Karakta" did not have a fierce conflict with Ji Xun because he had met him once.

However, when they looked at each other, Ji Xun's clone was also warned by the will of the foreign god and was seriously injured.

So he simply lifted the spell.

Honglou, in the suite.

Ji Xun's original body also knew what happened at the same time. He was reading the classics, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Beside him, Chujiu and Nanjing were also extremely sensitive. They also found that a terrifying and weird aura appeared in the city.

Turning to look at Ji Xun's expression, the two women guessed that something must have happened.

Nanjing immediately asked: "What happened?"

Ji Xun said in a serious tone: "The people who came from the Oran Royal Court of the Mysterious Worm Mother Karakta should turn the entire Innocence City into a nest of insects."

He briefly explained what happened just now.

As soon as the words came out, the two women frowned more and more.

The three of them are the few people in the world who know the horror of the "Seven Lords of Natural Disasters".

Hearing the name of the foreign god, they immediately knew the seriousness of the matter.

Nan Jing's tone was still a little unbelievable, and he confirmed again: "Do they want to turn all the people in Innocence City into spiritual feed for the foreign god?"

Chujiu also fell into deep thought.

Ji Xun nodded: "Yes. [Gu Shen] has appeared in the world. I'm afraid it has been set up a long time ago. Now the whole city is probably full of parasites. No one can stop it."

Nan Jing's eyes condensed a little sharp, and said: "No wonder I heard that people in the royal court were collecting orphans and beggars everywhere. It seems that they have been cultivating the body of the mysterious insect mother a long time ago."

They had thought of this possibility before.

But they didn't think that the people in the Oran Royal Court could be so crazy.

After all, the appearance of the insect mother not only sacrificed the millions of residents of Innocence City.

What's more terrifying is that there are endless troubles!

This method is like sending a nuclear bomb to your own home. Although it eliminates the enemy, it also leaves endless risks to your own land.

The cost is even greater than the results of the battle.

The more she thought about it, the more angry Nan Jing could not hide her eyes.

After all, she was the high priestess. While inheriting the legacy, she also took on the responsibility of continuing the civilization of the Kashi.

Of course, she saw the consequences of releasing the insect mother.

The Outer Gods that the ancestors sacrificed their lives to seal, these guys were released so easily?

The Seven Lords of the Calamity are all gods of the old era that are enough to destroy civilization, but if we really want to say which one poses the greatest threat to humans, the "Mysterious Insect Mother·Karakta" and the "Source of Plague·Takpara" are definitely the top two!

When the Zerg passes through, all living things will be wiped out.

Not to mention humans, everything will be devoured.

But things have come to this point.

It is irreversible.

Ji Xun also understood the purpose of the Orlan Royal Court at this moment, and said: "Those guys probably want to use this method to directly pull out the last stronghold of the Southern Continent in the Eastern Wilderness. Without a foundation, the Orlan Royal Court does not have to worry about being beheaded all the time."

Originally thought it was just a game about the spoils of Titan machinery.

Now it seems that it is a chain chess.

Directly destroy the Innocence City and kill everyone.

After the mysterious worm mother builds a nest in the Innocence City, it will be a natural barrier.

No human beings will survive for countless years in the future.

The people of the Southern Continent have no place to stay and can only retreat to the Old Continent. Naturally, they will not attack the city for no reason.

The risk of the high-level officials of the Orlan Royal Court being beheaded will also be reduced.

From a military perspective, this is indeed a good move.

But the problem is that the hidden dangers are too big.

It is so big that it is not something that a small Orlan Royal Court can bear.

This does not seem to be a decision that a normal person can make.

This is also what Ji Xun found unexpected.

As the high priest, Nan Jing certainly knew all the strengths of the Orlan Royal Court.

So her tone became more and more impolite: "It seems that the rumors are correct. Arthur has been contaminated by the [Tyrant] occupation card."

The last emperor of Tarun, Oduin Krosa Augustus, became a mad king because of the uncontrolled contamination of the demon mark.

Now the decision of the Orlan Royal Court shows the absurdity of the tyrant.

Or, the new king Arthur has actually been controlled by the backlash of the outer gods.

Whether it is the moon goddess Arachne or the outer gods sealed in the two jars in the hands of the royal family, they cannot be controlled by humans.

For the sake of the kingship, the new king is too hasty.

Stupid and selfish!

If the seven monarchs of the natural disaster were so easy to control, the original Tarun Empire would not have collapsed.

But no matter which situation it is, it is not what Ji Xun and the others want to see.

Honglou is still lively, and the impact of the disaster does not seem to have reached here.

Ji Xun and the others stood in front of the window glass, watching the singing and dancing downstairs.

The drunkards and gamblers were not aware of the crisis and were still excited to release their burning desires.

Although they knew that the current situation could not be reversed, Ji Xun and the other two had no intention of leaving, only deep thinking and solemnity.

For the three of them, if they wanted to leave, no one in the City of Innocence could stop them.

Originally, they just wanted to see the backhand of the game between the Orlan Royal Court and the Iris Legion, but now they saw such a stupid move.

Ji Xun looked at the scene in front of him, and countless cause and effect lines were deduced in his mind.

But for some reason, the dirty face of the little girl named "Ning" whom he met in Innocence City kept appearing in front of his eyes.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chujiu beside him suddenly asked, "What's wrong? I just saw that you were not in a good mood."

Ji Xun pondered for a moment and then said: "I met someone I've met before."

Chujiu Bingxue was smart, and she immediately guessed what it was: "The chosen one?"

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded.

After pondering for a moment, he added another sentence: "A little beggar I met in Innocence City once gave her a piece of bread. Just now, she gave it back to me."

After thinking about it, he didn't know why a passerby he had only met once would arouse his emotions so intensely.

It's a weird feeling of frustration, like watching a good story and looking forward to its ending, but not wanting to see it end.

And now, that piece of bread seems to have brought an end to the story, giving the story of that encounter an ending that I don't know whether is good or bad.

At this moment, Ji Xun felt that he was the protagonist of the story and also the reader of the story. It was strange that he felt like he had some enlightenment.

"oh."

Chujiu looked at Ji Xun's expression, responded, and then said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nan Jing, who was standing aside, looked at the two silent people and turned his eyes as if he realized something, but remained silent in tacit agreement.

The shadows of the three people were reflected on the huge glass of the room. They just stood there without anyone speaking.

After waiting for a while, there was finally a commotion outside Hong Tower.

The hoarse screams of panic suddenly resounded throughout Honglou.

The people in the building didn't know what happened yet, but they just watched the soldiers who were having fun in the building put on their leather armors and rushed out of the building one by one, as if they had been ordered to assemble.

The guests in the room were curious to find out what happened.

There were dense footsteps upstairs and downstairs, getting more and more urgent.

Just then.

"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk"

There was an anxious knock on the door.

Ji Xun knew who was coming and said hello: "Please come in."

A man opened the door and barged in with a slightly flustered look. He came before anyone could say: "Brother Ji Xun, leave quickly! There is a big mess in the city!"

The visitor was none other than Reni.

After saying that, he realized that there were two more people in the room.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the stunning faces of Chujiu and Nan Jing, and immediately calmed down.

He felt inexplicably familiar, but he didn't remember who it was.

And thinking about living in the same room as Ji Xun, they must be close friends. The top priority is not to be curious about the identities of the two people, but to urge them to leave.

Of course Ji Xun knew what happened. This was a change that he knew would happen five days ago.

At this time, Chujiu and Nan Jing also put their cloaks on their heads, covering most of their faces.

Ji Xun was not in a hurry to introduce the two of them. He just looked at the anxious Reni and said, "There's no rush. Besides, I can't leave now even if I want to."

"ah?"

Reni didn't understand what he heard, "Brother Ji Xun, do you know what happened?"

Ji Xunyan said concisely and concisely: "The Royal Court of Oran has released the 'Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta'."

"Insect mother?"

Reni obviously didn't know about the Seven Scourge Lords and hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Well, you'll find out soon."

Ji Xun didn't want to explain more, but said to Nan Jing beside him: "Xiao Nan, help Mr. Reni expel the eggs."

Nan Jing nodded.

"Insect eggs? What are they?"

Although Reni didn't know what happened, he knew that Ji Xun didn't need to harm him, so he cooperated very well.

Nan Jing raised his hand and a spell card bounced out, and a magic circle with flashing lightning appeared at Reni's feet.

This is the seventh-level [Thunder Purification Technique], which is specially used to drive away parasitic organisms.

Reni recognized this secret spell from the palace, and looked stunned: Raising his hand to instantly cast a seventh-level arcane spell?

He took a deep breath inwardly.

What is the origin of the friend you are looking for this season?

The moment the spell was released, Nan Jing also let out a light sigh.

Reni felt the electric current flowing on his body, opened his clothes and explained: "Sorry, I forgot to mention that most of my body has been transformed into mechanical prostheses due to toxin corrosion." Nanjing has never seen it. , then I understood why the spell encountered obstacles just now.

Ji Xun looked at the mechanical prosthetic body that was full of technology. He couldn't help but take a second look and said with emotion: "This prosthetic body of yours is a bit interesting."

It wasn't so exaggerated last time I saw it, but now the transformation rate feels like it's over 80%.

Why does this guy feel like he's going to take the path of mechanical ascension?

"Can't get on the stage"

Lennie shrugged self-deprecatingly.

In this world, strength is king. In today's Eastern Wasteland, mechanical prosthetics can only be considered low-end, even worse than mechanical armors.

He looked at the slightly strange looks of the three of them and said, "If it's too much trouble, I won't bother you, Miss. I won't live long either."

Of course he knows what's going on in the city today.

After all, they are from the drama god family and have extensive knowledge.

Seeing this secret seventh-level palace purification technique, he also guessed what kind of troublesome parasitic species it might be.

Otherwise, his old friend would not have given such a warning that he must leave within five days.

"No trouble at all."

Since it was Ji Xun who spoke, Nan Jing certainly wouldn't find it troublesome.

Without so much physical body, it is actually simpler.

She raised her hand casually and controlled the purifying lightning to move around the limbs near her head and heart.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of hair-black larvae were forced out of the pores, and then burned into ashes in the lightning.

"this"

Seeing this scene, Reni's expression also changed drastically.

Only then did he realize that he had been tricked.

When did it happen?

I have always been very careful, how could I have fallen into this trap?

A series of doubts flashed through my mind.

Although he no longer cared about the little life he had left, the horror of being secretly controlled still shook his heart.

This method was simply not something that humans in his cognition could do.

Before he could think about it, Ji Xun said: "The one who left behind this method was an ancient alien god, one of the culprits of the collapse of the Tarun Empire. Now the air and water in Innocence City are full of larvae, and the whole city is full of larvae." Everyone should be contaminated."

"Ah, Outer God?"

When Reni heard this, his pupils trembled violently, and he realized the seriousness of the matter.

The amount of information is too much, and my brain can’t digest it all at once.

He was stunned for a moment, but he suddenly realized something, "You mean, the people from Oran Palace are planning to kill everyone in the Innocence City?"

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded.

At this time, he formally introduced: "These two are my friends."

"This is the direct descendant of the Augustus royal family, the contemporary King of Talon, His Majesty Chujiu."

"This is the contemporary high priest Nan Jing."

Ji Xun and the two girls are friends, so of course they can be called whatever they want, but if there are outsiders, they have to be more formal.

It's not that he deliberately added to the drama, but Griffith's gang of Talon relics called it that.

Chujiu possesses the destiny of royal power, which involves not only her personally, but also everyone in the "Royal Power Canonization Manual" and the complete destiny of the continuing Talon Empire.

Regardless of bloodline or inheritance, she is the orthodox King Augustus of this generation.

"this!!!"

Upon hearing this, Reni's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized why he felt that the two women looked familiar.

Isn't this the silver hair that is the symbol of the Augustus family, and the successor of the high priest who is almost exactly the same as in the memory?

He didn't hesitate at all, half-knelt on the ground, and made a knightly salute with great solemnity: "Your Majesty!"

As a direct descendant of the King's Four Knights family, Reni certainly knew that only the bloodline of Augustus recognized by the high priest was the legitimate royal authority.

He had seen the Bai family replace the Nan family as the high priest of Oran, and he immediately knew that there was something fishy about the new king Arthur's rise to power.

But he had been expelled and was unable to care about the changes in the royal court.

Now when he looked at the two people in front of him, he understood something in an instant!

Chujiu watched the man salute him and nodded: "You're welcome. If you are not loyal to me, you don't have to pay this salute."

Ji Xun glanced at Chujiu, who seemed to have recognized his identity now.

The understatement has begun to take on the majesty of a person in power who is not angry and has authority.

When Reni heard this, he was speechless and said, "Guilty minister."

He wanted to explain something, but he was a failed candidate for the King's Four Knights, and he seemed not qualified to be said to be a descendant of the God of Play clan, or even to be loyal.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally said: "The guilty minister swears to be loyal to the great Augustus to the death!"

Chujiu just nodded and said nothing.

Ji Xun's reaction to Reni was not surprising. These royal ministers had an extraordinary sense of identification and belonging to the Augustus royal family.

Just like those Talon relics of the Dragon Rebel Army, it is not only the tradition passed down from generation to generation in their family, but also the divine contract that closely connects blood and family destiny.

It's like the contract between Nanjing and the Ming Peacock Clan, one will be prosperous and one will be harmed.

But now the situation is weird and there is no time to say more.

Chujiu had no intention of making others bow down to him because of his status.

Reni didn't feel that he was qualified to be loyal to the young emperor in front of him.

Reni instantly understood that his brother Ji Xun was on the side of His Majesty Chujiu?

Suddenly, the relationship felt closer.

If there is anything in this world that is worthy of Reni's life, apart from his family, there is only the family that has been loyal to the royal power for countless years.

While several people were communicating, an insect epidemic also broke out in Honglou.

A moment ago, the gamblers and drinkers had closed their doors and were lying on their windows looking at the horrific chaos outside the street.

The next second, without warning, someone suddenly exploded in the crowd, and countless grotesque insects emerged from the flesh and blood corpses.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

The special sound of flesh and blood exploding was like the sound of dense gunshots, echoing one after another in the red building.

The guests were panicking, and with the girl's screams, there were more and more bugs.

Insects exploded out of the corpse, and the insects infected other people. In a blink of an eye, the entire Red Mansion was filled with a hellish scene of tragedy.

[Void Worm], [Meat Worm], [Exploding Worm], [Screaming Worm], [Sour Rot Flying Worm], [Heart-feeding Worm], [Facehugger].

The reason why the Zerg are feared is largely because of their terrifying reproductive ability.

The insect eggs are parasitic in the body without being noticed. When they mature and break out of the body, the host dies.

Just like the human army has various military branches, the Zerg tribe also has bugs with various functions.

Parasitism, corrosion, devouring, tanking.

As countless parasites died, Zerg legions were quickly formed.

Ji Xun has seen many kinds of insects before, and this is how powerful they are.

Just like those [Void Mantises], although their ranks are not high, they have the ability to control the Void Scythe, and they can easily kill third- and fourth-level card masters.

There are also [Mind-grabbing Worms], which can control people's mental power;

[Acid-corroding Worms] can corrode high-level magic patterns on armor;

The sewers are filled with [Meat Worms], which forge the body and split, and are immortal.

A small number of insects is not a big problem for card masters.

But the problem is that there are too many.

Too many to count.

In Honglou alone, several people saw millions of insects in front of them.

Even with the current strength of Ji Xun and the other two, their scalps were numb.

Not to mention that this scene is now being played everywhere in the City of Innocence.

Because Ji Xun and the other two knew the methods of the ‘Mysterious Insect Mother Karakta’, they were not too surprised to see this scene, and silence covered all their emotions.

And Reni, who was on the side, was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he saw the rampant insects.

He realized why his old friend reminded him to leave Innocence City. So that's how it was!

At the same time, he also felt an indescribable sense of absurdity. Millions of residents were killed just like that?

Before he could think about it, Ji Xun suddenly spoke: "Reni, your grandson has been picked up by someone. I will go there. If you want him to return to the Oran Royal Family, I will let him go. If you have other plans, I can help you take him away from those people."

Ji Xun let Rick go before, but it was not completely unprepared.

Now the Oran Royal Court has taken action. In addition to rescuing the prisoners who were captured before, there is also the Titan machinery in the warehouse.

Ji Xun will certainly not let it go.

The guy has the mark of the Iris Legion on his body, and he also left a mark by the way.

Ji Xun promised Reni that he would only guarantee the safety of the boy from beginning to end.

"I"

Hearing this, Reni's expression struggled for a moment and said, "I want to bring him back."

If it was before, he would really hesitate.

Even though he knew that Rick was his grandson, he didn't want to recognize him. After all, the identity of the King's Four Knights is more important than an old man who went into the sewer.

However, now that he saw the orthodox new King Augustus in front of him, he still had any hesitation?

Not only his grandson, he even felt that his old friends and the King's Four Knights who were loyal to the fake king were all wrong!

"Yeah."

Ji Xun heard this and nodded without saying much.

Turning his head, he looked at Chujiu and Nan Jing, "I'll leave this to you."

He went over there to intercept Augustus's people, and someone was needed here to contain them.

This was the plan that had been set before.

Chujiu and Nan Jing nodded, and Ji Xun turned around and took Reni out of the room.

Watching people leave the room.

Chujiu frowned, remembering Ji Xun's abnormal emotions just now.

Nan Jing on the side tacitly guessed what his friend was thinking, and murmured: "Ji Xun should have touched the mystery of the 'Law of Destiny', so he would be like that."
