The road to the shrine was not blocked by any demons.
Probably the demons and ghosts who can restrain themselves, and those who are more or less intelligent, will not come near this place at all, like the Lord of Eternal Darkness above. Could it be that the windlass head cannot find its way into the mountain? This is of course impossible, it just restrains its instinct.
Because he knew how fierce the fighting at the center was, he chose to absorb the power of the essence from the periphery and did not join the battlefield greedily.
Although it was still miserable to be punished.
so--
The demons and ghosts who are close to the core of the source here must be the type who cannot restrain their instincts and greed. Because there are countless huge essences close at hand, how can they endure the greed and evil thoughts in their hearts? Just as people are always unable to resist all kinds of desires from the heart.
You must know that many demons and ghosts were once human beings, but they were corrupted due to depravity. In the end, they were completely overwhelmed by the wild soul side and the soul side, and then they transformed into demons, and their souls fell from the human world into the eternal world of Naraku.
So... there is actually no difference. They are not simpler than humans, nor are they uglier than humans, because they are the embodiment of a part of human nature.
The black-haired girl was also very energetic. The huge and mixed monster energy showed that there were a lot of monsters gathered here. Even though they were all fighting each other irrationally for the power of the spirit stone, it greatly reduced the The pressure she has to face is reduced, but this still needs to be treated with caution.
"Well, I think this bridge should be repaired once a year..."
Covering his nose with his sleeves, Gu Mo followed the girl, crossed the last trestle, and approached the shrine in front. He looked at the bubbling green poisonous water below the trestle and couldn't help but subconsciously speed up his pace.
He had no doubt that if he fell in, even his bones would be completely corroded in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
Gu Mo knew very well that he was definitely not like in the game, where he could just walk over, and a few red blood deduction numbers would appear symbolically on his head, and nothing would happen. Problems that can be solved by just breaking up...
Compared with strong sulfuric acid or something like that, it’s hard to say which one is stronger and which one is weaker, but there is no need to compare. Anyway, they all end up with the same end...
——This is the venom derived from Yatogami.
Yatogami is a large horned snake in Japanese legend. It can be said to be both a monster and an indigenous god. It is recorded in "Hitachi Kuni Fudoki". Some people believe that seeing this snake will lead to the destruction of their families, but others believe that it is an indigenous god who protects people who live in valleys and wetlands.
Of course, it seems that Saito Douzan believes in the latter, and the shrine built here is also to worship the Yato God.
It’s just that the former rumor is not unreasonable, and it may not be groundless. After all, in the original destiny, because Saito Yoshiryu was possessed by the Koshin layman, he suddenly launched a betrayal against Saito Dozo, and finally staged a father-son ( Female) cannibalistic situation...
And considering that Nohime, who married Owari, later joined Oda Nobunaga in Honnoji Temple and returned to the underworld together, even her daughter and son-in-law died, and the whole family died, and in the end only Axiu was left alone... very It's hard to say that the old man didn't suffer the consequences of his family being destroyed.
Gu Mo, who was thinking so wildly, found that the girl in front of him had stopped moving forward.
The door of the shrine at the end is open. Although the interior is a normal shrine scene, it is also in a mess. Moreover, the innermost wall is the same as the secret door of the mansion above. They were both broken open and penetrated by some kind of violence. An equally long and narrow passage at the rear was exposed...
The passage stretched straight for more than ten feet, and then suddenly opened up at the end, as if there was an equally huge natural cave space over there...
The existence of the shrine is not only to enshrine the Yato God, but also has the property of being a guise just like the mansion above. It exists to hide and seal the entrance to the real secret place!
——Of course it’s the same sentence, these designs are meaningless now.
In the space at the end, Gu Mo couldn't see clearly because it was a bit far away, but he could hear tragic roars, roars like thunder... various scarlet and strange blood colors and the shining golden essence radiance complement each other. , the color is bright and saturated to the point of being a bit harsh.
The crazy and terrifying battle of desire is going on over there, and it has already reached a fever pitch.
Standing still here, Hidechiyo looked back at him.
"Don't worry, I know...I won't hold you back."
Gu Mo came back to his senses, blinked, and then gave her a thumbs up, showing a bright smile as always, with eight teeth that looked just right and white.
The girl stared at him for a few seconds before she looked away and looked back.
Maybe, although she still doesn't understand why this person must act with her, but it does not hinder her much, at least he does not always fall into danger that she cannot handle, and then has to wait for her to save this kind of order. A tired situation. And since the Thirteen Sakura Village, the other party has grown very fast.
I have learned some sword kung fu, some Onmyodo techniques, and the protection of guardian spirits. In addition, I am very smart every time and will not step into the most dangerous battlefield. Instead, I only paddle around the edges and bully the fallen. It's a simple mob, so under normal circumstances it's no problem to protect yourself.
While her thoughts were spinning, she clenched the sword in her hand and was about to walk away.
"etc."
At this time, Gu Mo called out to her.
The girl turned back slightly confused, and the man in front of her began to chatter and make arrangements without explanation.
"As the saying goes, there must be supplies before a war... I know that you don't need me to worry about it, Axiu, but it's always better to be cautious."
"The imperial water I just gave you, take a few sips first..."
"And where is your knife? Give it to me. Wouldn't it feel better with the enchantment buff? Well, you don't want the Cleansing Talisman? It doesn't matter. I still have the Fire Summoning Talisman..."
After a barrage of words, Hidechiyo began to co-operate with the other party's actions in a confused manner. She felt that the other party was not talking, but only said words that she could not understand. Or it should be said that she could actually understand what the other party meant. It's just that there are some words in it that I really can't understand.
Anyway, by the time she came to her senses, she had already made as much preparation as possible based on Lu Mo's rich experience.
She felt a slight increase in energy all over her body, and she already had a bag of small spirit stones tied around her waist, which she could use at critical moments as she could directly utilize the power of the spirit stones. And she looked at the blade of the sword in her hand, which was flowing with a faint red glow. It seemed that the steel material was burning strangely, and the flames were flowing on it.
The magic power of the fire summoning talisman is attached to it. As long as the BUFF of the flame enchantment has not passed and the fire attribute power on the host weapon has not been completely consumed, then every sword she swings will be added with additional fire attribute damage. , causing the opponent to fall into a burnt state.
"Not bad, not bad. In fact, Axiu, you might want to consider using the power of the guardian spirit on weapons, and just fire a ninety-nine weapon to kill everyone..."
Gu Mo looked at the special effect and gave a thumbs up to praise it.
Because of his own magical power, his spells are only of ordinary strength, so the special effects are not particularly dazzling. Whether it is the Pure Winding Talisman or the Fire Summoning Talisman, there is only a faint layer of light, which is not to say that it is slightly You'll miss it if you don't pay attention, but it's really not very conspicuous.
Gu Mo thought at first that his "Special Effects Brightness" was set too low, but after fumbling around with the settings panel, he found that this was not the case at all. It was just because his magic power was too low.
After all, the current bonus points are all for the strength and physique of the melee style, but not a single point for intelligence, spirit, etc. In this regard, he is just an ordinary person, and the spells he masters cannot enjoy the powerful bonuses brought by high attributes. into an increase or something.
Ninety-nine weapons? What it is?
The black-haired girl stared at him with some doubts, and felt keenly that she heard something of concern.
"Oh, it's the secret martial arts that that fierce, stinky woman knows. You can learn it later. I've only seen her know this so far. I'm not sure about the others..."
Gu Mo touched his chin and explained.
Regardless of the situation caused by the guardian spirit, there seem to be two ways to directly use the power of the guardian spirit. One is to fuse the power of the guardian spirit with oneself and perform a dependent combination, but this is actually the transformation into a monster...such as Asai Nagamasa, Shibata Katsuie and others will all be such examples in the future.
The other method is to combine the power of the guardian spirit with a weapon, which is the so-called ninety-nine weapons. Ordinary iron will also be channeled by this, and the whiteboard equipment will directly transform into a krypton gold weapon, with special effects that will blind the eyes of dogs. No matter how powerful the guardian spirit can be, the Ninety-nine Weapon can be as powerful as it lasts.
But it is a pity that in Axiu's story, the concept of ninety-nine weapons seems not to have become popular yet, and she herself has not been able to master it.
Sixty years later, however, the second-generation protagonist William relied on this to kill people. If we examine historical changes from the perspective of this real world, maybe it is because at this time, this trick was still an unknown secret?
So Gu Mo couldn't help but think about it. Axiu's ultimate move is to transform into a monster, but in fact she can do it herself. She doesn't need to use the power of a guardian spirit to transform into a monster like those human examples...
——So, while she is turning into a monster, can she theoretically be able to fire ninety-nine weapons at the same time?
——The ultimate moves and advantages of the two generations are all concentrated into one... This is probably not the super doubled version of the greatest monster of the Warring States Period that kills gods when meeting gods, kills Buddha when meeting Buddhas.
The black-haired girl seemed to understand, nodded, and then took a deep look at the other person again, and then turned around and walked towards the shrine.
Seeing the girl's back walking into the passage, Gu Mo also subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath, but he immediately reacted and stopped this dangerous behavior in time. He glanced back warily and saw bubbles still rising in the green water.
There is a faint weird smell in the air, which should be the smell of toxins...
Even if you don't fall in, just staying here for a long time may cause problems. With this thought, Gu Mo moved inside, trying to distance himself as much as possible, hoping that his 13-point constitution would last for a while... He was about to level up, and the experience bar for LV5 to LV6 had been filled before. It’s seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
Or after this battle, the upgrade can be completed, which is why he must gain experience.
Opportunities like this are really rare. After leaving this dungeon, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet such a talkative person like A Xiu... But the speed of upgrading has begun to slow down significantly. Compared with the previous night, when I upgraded several levels in a row, now This LV6 stuck with him for a long time.
Although there were fewer battles encountered later, and many of them were caused by teammates doing well, and the experience shared by teammates seemed to be only a small part of the reason, it also gave Gu Mo a sense of urgency.
Looking around, sizing up this strange yet familiar "Viper God Realm", he sighed and whispered to himself:
"After being out for so long, it's time to consider going back."
Even though he had looked away before, no longer entangled, and his mentality became optimistic and open-minded, he now had to face an objective fact - that is, he had spent nearly a month in this copy, and he couldn't do anything. You have to go back and take a look.
…
…
There were no disturbances, no sudden changes, everything came to an end naturally.
Maybe Hidechiyo's power was too strong, and when he turned into a monster, he slaughtered the whole place. In addition, before the two arrived, the monsters had been killing each other for a while, and a lot of them were consumed internally, so this result was not Nothing to be surprised about.
There was no real big BOSS suddenly appearing at the end. For some reason, Yatogami didn't appear at all.
After carefully walking through the secret passage inside the shrine and entering the huge natural cave space on the opposite side, Gu Mo's expression slowly solidified, and finally changed a few times, and then he still held it back and did not retching.
——He felt that he must have exhausted all his perseverance in the rest of his life.
The ground was covered with plasma, broken limbs, and various pieces of flesh and blood were spread out into hills of corpses. There was barely a place to stay, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was stinging. His nose was wheezing, making him feel that even if he breathed a little, his lungs would be filled with blood-smelling molecules, and his stomach would begin to churn.
It was so tragic that it was unimaginable, and countless demons and ghosts died here. It was more shocking than any battlefield he had seen before.
There were too many corpses and too much plasma. The density doubled the bloodiness several times.
——I shouldn’t have maxed out the “bloody performance effect” before. Obviously this can be turned off directly...
He stared blankly in despair, and at the same time raised his hands to cover his forehead, feeling that this would leave a psychological shadow on him.
Trying to get rid of these bad emotions, he gathered his mind and began to look at this space carefully. Unlike the vast and empty BOSS battlefield in his impression, this place gave people the feeling of... "a mountain of mountains."
Not only the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, but also something that originally existed in this space, something that attracted countless monsters to swarm in and fight each other fiercely to compete for it - the spiritual stone!
An extremely large number of spiritual stones! These blooming golden essences are as thick as honey. Countless huge crystals are like thorns, emerging from the ground. They are also like some huge plant clusters, originally growing densely in this space. Same.
In addition to these huge crystals, there are also smaller and broken ones, and even underneath the thick flesh and blood carpet covered with corpses and flesh on the ground, it seems to be a dense beach of rocks, covered with large and small crystals. Broken pieces.
When Gu Mo realized what he was doing, he couldn't help but be distracted by it for a moment, and his eyes became sluggish.
…………
"A long time ago, there was a small village called Chuyaya in the Kanazaki area. The village was famous for its forging technology and the collection of strange stones called spiritual stones. It was also the hometown of ghosts..."
In the secret passage.
Saito Douzan's face became grim, and he spoke in an almost inaudible voice, as if he was talking to himself or telling some past story to the people around him.
"The spirit stone is a strange stone. Some people think it is a stone in the mountain. In fact, it is the essence condensed from the bloody land. It has never been a good thing... But most people don't know this. I won’t care, but will only be obsessed with the power brought by the spirit stone.”
"Even people who don't know anything will naturally understand what it can do when they come into contact with this kind of stone for the first time. It can bewitch people's hearts... and the more and larger the spiritual stones are, the stronger the bewitching effect. What can be done is also increasing, no matter what kind of ambition or desire it is.”
The samurai wearing armor next to him, Akechi Mitsuhide, whom Saito Douzan valued the most, also nodded slightly and softly agreed: "But this is unreasonable power and will only bring distortion to this world."
"Yes, that's why I have collected spiritual stones from all over the world and hid them here over the years, just to prevent others from abusing them..." Viper's eyes were bright, "So no matter who I hand over Meinong to in the future, it is equivalent to giving Meinong Give these spirit stones to him together, I have to confirm what that person thinks at this point."
This is Saito Douzan's test, and it is a problem that cannot be avoided by accepting Mino's successor no matter what.
If he does not hesitate to use the power of spiritual stones to achieve his goals, then this is contrary to Saito Dozo, and he will never recognize it.
The old man clenched his fists subconsciously: "I hope this boy will not disappoint me... Facing so many spiritual stones, he must have fallen into inner torture now. Facing his own heart, he cannot lie. , because spiritual stones will reflect a person’s desires and reflect his most urgent wishes.”
"He must want to regain everything he lost now, so what he sees is this. Once he feels that the spirit stone can indeed achieve his wishes, and he wants to use the power of the spirit stone to fulfill his ambition by any means, then he will That’s not the person I want to choose..."
Saying this, before Saito Michizan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened——
"Wait, that kid outside has woken up?! How could it be so fast?!"
…………
That happened half a minute ago.
--"use."
--"use."
--"use."
Select the same option continuously, and the timely feedback is constantly ringing in your ears, which is basically the same - "Get 100,000,000 essence, which will be converted into experience points in equal proportions..."
With a look of great interest, Gu Mo selected the "Use" interaction option in front of the huge spirit stone crystal, and then listened to a pleasant sound, reminding him that he had gained a huge amount of experience, and then the huge crystal in front of him quietly turned into light. , seemed to melt and disappeared before his eyes.
Then with another thought, an attribute panel appeared in front of him.
--"upgrade."
He clicked on the most familiar page and saw that his life level was displayed as LV78. He twitched his lips.
From just now to now, he has been doing this kind of thing. After all, everything is the scene he dreamed of - the essence of the spirit stone is just like in the game. It can be used as upgrade experience, and then it will often contain hundreds of millions of essence in the later stage. Super spirit stones can make your character level rise by leaps and bounds.
How should I put it, it was really exciting, crushing a huge spiritual stone, converting billions of essence into experience, and then watching his level soar crazily... Then his expression gradually changed from excitement and excitement, He became calm and even started to stare with dead eyes.
"It would be nice if it wasn't an illusion..."
He closed the properties panel with a dull look on his face.
At the beginning, Gu Mo didn't realize when he fell into an illusion. This illusion did take advantage of what he was currently thinking about, and after it succeeded, it directly suppressed his attention to the surrounding environment.
However, he had done testing before and found that the spirit stone essence could not be directly converted into the experience needed for the system panel. He also realized deeply that his mentally retarded system could not be used so conveniently, and the prompts were not so clear and crisp. It is even more impossible to call it out at the first thought...
And not to mention these doubts——
Gu Mo walked to and stood in front of another huge crystal cluster, looking at the clear mirror image reflected on the surface of the crystal clear golden crystal. Although it was not particularly clear, it was enough. He saw familiar options on it and opened the upgrade page he had opened before.
Still at LV5, his dream was ruthlessly shattered...
The specific nature of the mentally retarded system seems to appear in the mirror he sees even in this illusion. This is a loophole in the past that cannot be covered up.
"I just want to have fun and I can't get enough of it. This fantasy is so spicy..." There are no greater ups and downs in life than this. Gu Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth. After reacting, Gu Mo silently raised his middle finger upward. The next moment, he There seemed to be some kind of crisp cracking sound in my ears, and the entire illusion was shattered.
