After death, the skeleton will be eroded as the environment changes.
Such as decalcification, weathering, etc.
The color and bone quality will vary.
By comparing them one by one, the time of death can be estimated.
This is the scientific method.
In the eyes of psykers, spells can be used instead.
After Hoshino Aoi gave the order, the middle-aged miko stepped forward.
After a burst of psychic energy, she said in a surprised tone: "He has been dead for nearly a thousand years."
This also meant that it was not someone who arrived at the ruins before them.
The corpses on the ground were originally part of the ruins.
"I really don't know what happened before?"
The middle-aged miko said while observing.
She took out a pair of gloves and put them on, then stretched out her hand and touched the armor on the outside of the corpse.
There are no reactions and no traps.
She was basically certain that these corpses died here and were not placed deliberately.
"It's a fourth-level spiritual tool."
The middle-aged miko checked and confirmed and said.
"Put away the spiritual tools."
Hoshino Aoi nodded slightly and said, "Bury the corpse on the spot."
Seven fourth-level spiritual tools can survive thousands of years of erosion, so they are obviously worth a lot of money.
And this is just the beginning, you can only imagine what will come next.
The middle-aged miko directed several people to come forward.
After taking off the armor, there were only seven dead bones left, nothing special.
They dug a hole nearby and buried it.
Hoshino Aoi ignored it and came to Shimen.
From the outside, it is exactly the same as the previous Shimen.
She thought for a moment and chanted the same spell again.
As psychic energy flashed through, patterns appeared on it.
There is still the sun symbol in the middle.
But there are more snakes hanging around.
"snake?"
Hoshino Rin thought for a moment and said, "The only snake that can be so bold is the legendary Ibukiyama Daimyojin."
Ibukiyama Daimyojin, also known as Yamata no Orochi.
As shrine maidens, they always address the gods by their names and maintain reverence for the gods.
Haruhiko wasn't too surprised.
This is the grave of Yamata no Orochi.
Coupled with the appearance of Amaterasu, he suspected that this place was one of the original battlefields.
Haruhiko had thought before that the disappearance of the gods and the death of Yamata no Orochi were probably connected.
Now it seems that it is indeed true.
"K."
Hoshino Aoi agrees with Hoshino Rin's guess.
There's just no evidence to be sure.
She raised her hand and did the same thing as before.
Flames flew out, and the sun symbol became strangely brilliant.
But the door didn't open.
Because the snake holding its head and tail spread out its body, it was like a baffle, blocking the sun's rays.
Haruhiko raised his eyebrows.
He found that the sun and snake together formed two characters.
Of course it's not an ordinary word, but a word in the snake god's language.
"God-killing?"
Haruhiko's lips moved subconsciously.
But there is no sound.
At this moment, the snake suddenly trembled and disappeared.
The stone door is open.
Hoshino Aoi's face showed a little surprise.
In her perception, this snake is actually a seal, sealing the key of Amaterasu.
She had a headache before, how to open it.
Unexpectedly, such strange changes would occur in the blink of an eye.
Haruhiko's eyes narrowed.
Obviously the word "Zhu Shen" is the password.
I have to say, it was a bit of an accident.
But no matter what, the purpose has been achieved.
Behind the stone gate is no longer an abyss, but an underground cavity.
There are no buildings, just hollowed-out caves.
It’s just that the scope is so wide that you can’t see the end at a glance.
This is obviously not normal.
Because it is already bigger than the mountain itself.
"It's the effect of space spells."
Hoshino Aoi felt a mysterious fluctuation, so she spoke.
She took a step forward and stepped into the door, the scenery in front of her changed.
The previously unremarkable cave seemed to come alive, forming a ruined palace.
The most eye-catching thing is the snake in the depths.
It solidified in the air, and the huge snake head looked at her, creating an indescribable sense of oppression.
Hoshino Aoi subconsciously clenched the Kagura bell.
But soon I realized that it was not a living thing.
It is a decoration composed of psychic energy.
"You guys come in."
Hoshino Aoi said after confirming.
Haruhiko and others stepped into the door and showed incredulous expressions.
After all, it looks so ordinary from the outside, but I didn't expect that there is something wonderful inside.
"It's not a real snake, but don't let your guard down."
Hoshino Aoi reminded.
"yes!"
The rest of the people answered immediately after hearing this.
But he still breathed a sigh of relief.
If this snake were alive, the danger would go without saying.
"Now the troops are divided into two groups to explore."
Hoshino Aoi looked around, but she couldn't see the end of it, and it was bigger than she imagined.
Even if they are divided into two teams, it will take ten days and a half to complete the exploration.
"Yingying, you and Ximinjiang are on the same team."
Hoshino Aoi thought for a while and said.
Ximinjiang is the former middle-aged witch, more precisely, a fourth-level priest.
Among the Izumo Shrine, he is the second most psychic person after Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Hotaru.
Hoshino Hotaru is also at the fourth level, but because of his twin inheritance and various spiritual tools, he is more powerful than Ximinjiang.
In comparison, Hoshino Rin is slightly worse.
After all, she can't practice anytime and anywhere.
In addition to going to school, you also have to learn how to manage a shrine.
But because of the twin inheritance, it won't take long for her to be promoted to the fourth level.
"yes."
Ximinjiang answered quickly.
Hoshino Hotaru nodded.
"Firefly, you choose thirteen people, start from the left, and eventually meet us under the snake's shadow."
Hoshino Aoi pointed to the depths and said.
Hoshino Hotaru raised his head and casually nodded to thirteen people, including Haruhiko.
Hoshino Rin hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak.
She originally wanted to keep Haruhiko, after all, it was safer to stay with Hoshino Aoi.
But then I thought about it, it’s not a good idea to say such things.
Haruhiko thought it was good.
Following Hoshino Hotaru makes it easier to grab monsters.
And she never asks.
The group was divided into two groups.
There were exactly fifteen people each.
As Haruhiko walked, he observed his surroundings.
There are dilapidated houses everywhere.
Because it was too obvious, they didn't waste time.
It can be seen that someone once lived here.
Haruhiko remembered the ruins of the same sharks that he and Chiyome visited before, and they were somewhat similar.
After a while, a discovery was made.
To their right, there is a well-kept house.
And it was several times larger than what had been seen before.
"careful."
As soon as he got close, Ximinjiang felt a strong spiritual energy fluctuation.
The others all became vigilant after hearing this.
When he arrived at the door, Ximinjiang raised his hand and opened the door with his spiritual energy.
Various forging tools come into view.
There is no doubt that this was once a blacksmith's shop.
At this moment, a cold breath came out.
The air was distorted.
The figures slowly gathered together.
They only wore trousers and held hammers, all dressed like blacksmiths.
Thousands of years ago, before technology was developed, traditional methods were used to forge spiritual tools.
Their identity is self-evident.
Their identity is self-evident.
But now they are all evil spirits.
Since it is an evil spirit, it is an abnormal death.
Haruhiko didn't know what happened before, but he knew that his experience point had arrived.
"Ready to fight."
Ximinjiang reminded.
There is no way to reason with evil spirits.
The only thing they should do is send them to hell for reincarnation.
Haruhiko began to chant a spell.
Divine Word·Initial.
Consuming one thousand points of spiritual energy, his spell chanting time will be reduced by two seconds in the next minute.
He did not use the more powerful Divine Word High Speed, because it would consume 10,000 points of his spiritual energy.
It is worth mentioning that the swordsman's swordsmanship is also a spell. In other words, it can also have effects.
The evil spirits rushed over.
Haruhiko took out a stack of Fire Dragon Talisman and threw it out.
The surrounding temperature suddenly rose sharply.
The psychic energy exploded, and ten huge fire dragons roared out.
Ten third-level spells in one go.
Many shrine maidens looked at Haruhiko in surprise.
Although charms are cheaper than spiritual tools, they are still very expensive.
Unless there is family support, ordinary psychics will not waste it so casually.
But they are happy to see the results.
After all, after such an explosion, the evil spirits were greatly affected.
After regaining consciousness, they all took action one after another.
Haruhiko didn't have time to watch, for fear that they would steal someone's head.
He continued throwing spells.
After a round of bombing, the evil spirits were killed and wounded in large numbers.
But a few survived.
There are six in total, all of the fourth level.
But there are only five fourth-level witches.
Among them are Nishimin Jiang and Hoshino Hotaru.
Haruhiko took out Hongluan.
Five fourth-order animals were controlled.
The remaining one, surrounded by the third level, looked particularly brave.
The red luan star moves!
The sword in Haruhiko's hand immediately burst into flames.
In a dim environment, it looks very dazzling.
Evil suddenly noticed him and ran towards him.
"I'll get his attention."
Haruhiko said.
The witches are all capable of long-range output. In terms of flexibility, they are naturally inferior to swordsmen.
After he finished speaking, the rest of the people also understood and started assisting.
I saw golden spiritual energy turning into chains and rushing towards the evil spirit, making him freeze in place.
When Haruhiko saw this, he immediately rushed forward.
Swordsman·Shuangying Ranwu!
His body turned into a shadow that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
After approaching the evil spirit, countless sword lights poured out.
It looks like a random dance, but in fact it is quite regular.
The struggling evil spirit sensed the danger and shook its body, shattering the chains.
He raised the hammer and dropped it, and the violent psychic energy extended from the hammer to his arm.
In an instant, he seemed to be a god descending to earth.
There was a sound.
The huge force forced Haruhiko to retreat.
But it's also a fourth-level spell, and the evil spirits don't have a hard time with it either.
And he still hurriedly fought and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the witches started attacking one after another.
Arrow feathers of different colors fell from the sky.
All are third-level spells.
Although the evil spirit reacted promptly, several hits hit him, making him particularly angry.
He stood up and the hammer in his hand flew out like lightning.
The target is the witches not far away.
Because of the excessive speed, there was an explosion in the air.
Several young mikos turned pale.
They were only the third level. Facing the attack of the fourth level psykers, they could only rely on spiritual tools or spells to fight back.
But being able to fight back may not necessarily be effective.
After all, there are only a few psykers like Haruhiko who can learn fourth-level spells at the third level and possess many fifth-level spiritual tools.
Even if they survive, they still have to pay the price.
Fortunately, Haruhiko was not idle.
Taking advantage of the time just now, the new spell has been prepared.
Swordsman·Blade!
His newly mastered fourth-level spell.
As the name suggests, it acts on the opponent's spiritual tools.
If it's not strong enough, it will tear.
In the first week, Hayate often relied on this move to win with one blow.
Of course he was holding a famous sword at that time.
Now Haruhiko only has one red luan.
As for Izumi Mamoru Kanesada, although the fragments have been collected, recasting is not that simple.
He gave it to Tsuchimikado Marri, and he was not sure when it would be repaired.
But Hongluan is not bad.
Haruhiko thinks it is at least more precious than the hammer in the evil spirit's hand.
Because this is tailor-made by the fifth-level demon.
And it can be upgraded.
It means that the material is more than the third level.
Haruhiko's body appeared in front of the shrine maidens.
He held the knife in both hands and slashed from top to bottom.
The spiritual energy turned into a surging air current, shaking and distorting the air.
The next second, a deafening sound sounded.
Even Hoshino Hotaru, Nishimin Jiang and others who were fighting looked over.
Iron Hammer and Hongluan seemed to have stopped time, frozen in mid-air.
There was a snap.
Debris falls.
I saw the hammer turned into pieces.
Only the body of the evil spirit is a spirit, and the weapons are real.
Haruhiko raised his eyebrows.
Sure enough, Hongluan is made of better material.
He didn't have time to think about it and continued to attack.
When the evil spirit saw that his hammer was destroyed, he was stunned, and then became angry.
He jumped up and slammed down with both fists.
Swordsman·Serial Slash!
Haruhiko's expression didn't change, he quickly took half a step back, and then struck out seven times.
As soon as the fist came into contact, a huge force hit him.
Fortunately, Haruhiko distanced herself and had a buffer.
But suddenly a golden light emerged from his body, and a powerful force emerged out of thin air.
It is an auxiliary spell.
And there's not just one, there are five.
There was no doubt that the witches behind him reacted.
Miko has two branches, one uses Kagura bells and the other uses bows and arrows.
The former belongs to the long-range magic profession, which naturally has many auxiliary spells.
Haruhiko stood firm.
Seven consecutive slashes instantly fell on the evil spirit's fists.
The spiritual energy stirred and stiffness appeared.
Streamer Chasing the Wind!
Haruhiko immediately activated Hong Luan's own skills.
His body was like the wind, disappearing in an instant, and reappearing behind the evil spirit.
Facing the evil spirit that was completely unresponsive, Haruhiko slashed it with his sword.
The previous enchantment effect of Hongluan Star Movement is still there.
At this time, the evil spirit was stabbed through with a knife.
Because it is a spiritual body, no blood is shed.
But the damage is real.
The evil spirit fell directly to the ground.
Haruhiko once again threw three Fire Dragon Talisman as a last hit.
Under the flames, he received a game prompt.
Including the previous evil spirits, he gained a total of one thousand two hundred and forty points.
Haruhiko let out a breath.
Then look at the other five battlefields.
Hoshino Hotaru was faster than him and had already solved a fourth-level one.
She is now helping Ximinjiang deal with the second one.
Seeing this, Haruhiko knew that he was not going to grab kills, but it was not a big problem to get an assist.
He took out the Fire Dragon Talisman again.
The sound of swishing wind sounded.
Four of them flew towards four fourth-level evil spirits.
The witches just thought he wanted to help and didn't care.
