In the mountains and forests.
The calm was broken, the ground trembled slightly, and several thick trees were cut off by the huge force and fell to the ground, with messy branches and fallen leaves, accompanied by smoke and dust everywhere, and something heavy dragging on the ground. Rumble.
It is very obvious that this place has turned into a battlefield.
"The Jade of the Four Souls...Give it to me!!"
It made an unpleasant and hoarse roar, and its blood basin covered with densely packed sharp teeth was wide open. The upper body was a naked body of a woman, and the lower body was a long and huge centipede. The monster roared angrily and hysterically, and the corners of its mouth were split to the back of the ears. went.
However, the densely packed sharp fangs in the bloody mouth did not kill or swallow the target as expected, but were blocked by an ordinary-looking knife.
At first, I thought it was just a mortal iron sword. The centipede witch tightened her upper and lower jaws fiercely. However, the sharp teeth in its mouth that were so densely packed that it could make people with cryptophobia sick made a harsh and unpleasant friction sound with the blade. But he couldn't bite the blade into pieces.
Instead, under the tremendous force, it felt that part of the teeth in its mouth began to loosen, and the sharp edge also cut part of its mouth. The blood and pain stimulated it to become even more ferocious, and a pair of protruding teeth His eyes glowed with scarlet light.
"Give it to me! Hurry!"
"Why is this line coming again? I'm really curious...did you extras all get the same script? The reason for appearing is to say such a line, right?"
The centipede temptress responded with slightly helpless words, and the young man standing below raised his head and raised his arms to fight with a tight frown.
"Give it to me! Give me the Four Souls Jade!"
The centipede witch roared angrily and still repeated such a line, but because the densely packed sharp teeth were still biting the blade in her mouth, her words were blurred and unclear, and this way of speaking also caused her to mouth blood. Opened, thick saliva dripped from the corners of the mouth.
"Hey! Stop dripping with your fucking saliva!!"
The corners of his eyes twitched violently. Gu Mo subconsciously took a step back to avoid the saliva dripping from his head. One hand still firmly held the knife in his hand to fight, but the other hand directly grabbed it from the side. , grabbed a folding stool that came from somewhere, and swung it forward hard!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, interspersed with the sound of something breaking, the centipede monster's head seemed to be hit by a huge hammer, and it flew backwards while spinning its long body in a large circle.
Several sharp fangs as long as sabers flew up into the air mixed with the smelly blood, followed by the miserable howl of the centipede witch.
The real value of Gu Mo's strength attribute is 12 points, but after calculating the aura bonus of the guardian spirit and the increase of the four soul jade fragments, it can reach a value of 15 points.
But under normal circumstances, this kind of power is still not enough to confront a huge monster head-on.
For example, this centipede temptress has a body length of more than ten or twenty meters. Even if a monster of this size is not a special extraordinary creature, its strength and physique are undoubtedly extremely amazing. It can run rampant in the mountains and forests. At this time, trees as thick as an adult's arms would be directly broken.
But... special situations are treated specially, and the same unscientific power must be used for mysterious fields.
Just like Platycodon's weak physical ability, it can still use spiritual power to attack and easily knock away huge monsters... Gu Mo also figured out the basic tricks of using his own demon power, which can be used to strengthen all his attacks. , so that your physical abilities can be further greatly improved.
Although the nature is more of a temporary burst, it is undoubtedly very powerful.
"The monsters that came yesterday said the same thing, the monsters that came the day before yesterday said the same thing, and the ones that came the day before yesterday... they also said the same thing. Don't you have any other lines?"
Gu Mo shook off the smelly liquid on the folding stool and took a picture of the cleansing talisman on the folding stool. Then he stepped forward and stepped on the giant centipede's body that was twisting crazily due to the pain. He raised the murderous weapon in his hand high. He hit the centipede witch hard on the head and face before she could get up.
One, two, three... Each blow was a solid blow, with blood splattering.
While waving the folding stool with all his strength, he still looked disgusted: "I just said it, I am impatient after hearing this sentence, and you still dare to spit on me?!"
Spit, right? Spit, right? Let’s see if labor and capital can’t beat you to death! !
The centipede witch was still trying to struggle crazily, but not only did this abominable half-demon step on her body with great force, the strange weapon in her hand was also extremely hard, and it was equipped with a strange power similar to spiritual power. Every time Every blow caused excruciating pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the more the blow, the more painful it became.
It seems that it can easily break through the defense of the demonic energy. The strands of power are like gangrene attached to the bone, constantly drilling into its body through the skin and carapace, like sharp blades constantly cutting inside, dividing and defeating its body. Every time, the demonic power is gathered to prepare for counterattack.
In the end, all the energy in the body seemed to have been scattered and emptied, and it could no longer raise any strength. At this time, it finally struggled and resisted, and even the screams became weaker and weaker. Slowly there was no more movement.
The entire giant centipede was lying quietly in the forest. At first glance, it looked like a dead black python lying across the hillside, making no sound anymore.
"You might as well give it a good time..."
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind.
As he was holding the folding stool and continuing to hit it, Gu Mo, who looked like he was whipping a corpse, suddenly froze. He maintained the action of raising it high, glanced back, and then quickly turned around and put it down. The bloody murder weapon was hidden behind his back, and he showed a natural smile.
"Bikyo, good morning..."
"It's already noon."
The witch said very calmly, turning a blind eye to this person's actions. She would not sympathize with a monster who was preparing to attack the village, but generally she would not have the heart to cook such a trash fish so slowly, as she had not done for a long time. I have seen monsters like the centipede temptress.
But that's not to say that centipede monsters are rare. In fact, it's not. The main reason is that she has long passed the period of needing to identify the types of monsters that are coming one by one, and bother to find their weaknesses to deal with them... many times. With one arrow, dozens or hundreds of monsters on the opposite side were all wiped out.
——In such a situation, how can one be in the mood to distinguish what is on the other side?
"Ah hahaha, that's it..." Gu Moqian said with a smile, and quickly looked up and found that the sun in the sky was indeed close to its zenith, and the sunlight began to become fierce and vicious, but he It seems that he didn't notice it very much, but ignored the past.
"It's already this time, let's have something to eat first."
Kikyo glanced at the huge black centipede body over there, and said calmly: "We can go back to the village later and let the villagers take care of it."
A monster corpse of this size will take a long time to naturally decay, and it will easily spread deadly poisonous miasma. Moreover, the process of decay may attract other monsters, just like scavengers, but they probably don't mind attacking nearby villages to hunt for some fresh blood food and change the taste.
Platycodon can be purified directly, but she has other considerations——
Occasionally letting the villagers take a look at the monster removal and involving them can effectively eliminate their uneasiness... Seeing that dangerous monsters are hunted and killed, and you need to wait for someone to deal with the monster's corpse, this process brings peace of mind Feelings can keep them uplifted for a long time.
She has experience in this area, which was accumulated during her travels or while guarding Maple Village.
She once tried to nip all dangers in the bud. With her powerful spiritual power that no one in this era could match, she was enough to kill any incoming monsters out of people's sight. When she was wandering around, I did the same thing when I encountered villages that were often attacked by monsters.
But the result was not very satisfactory. She quietly solved the monster scourge, but those villages did not know it and were still in panic all day long. Even if they were not attacked again for a long time, people would not feel at ease and even fear. I feel that the monster opposite may be holding back a big wave...
Let people see that the danger is definitely eliminated, let them personally participate in the process and confirm this for themselves.
This is very necessary.
"Okay, okay, I'll come right away..." Gu Mo threw away the folding stool in his hand, clapped his hands and walked forward. He was also a little bit naughty. Anyway, he just wanted a temporary weapon, so he didn't need it. It's too elaborate, it doesn't matter if it's a folding stool or a brick, it just needs to be usable.
It's a pity that I haven't mastered the clone technique. Otherwise, if I could just form a team of 18 bronze men from Shaolin Temple, swarm up with folding stools, and kill the enemy in a chaotic manner, the scene would definitely be extremely spectacular.
Looking at the basket in the witch's hand, Gu Mo asked slightly curiously: "But then again, why are you bringing me food from Platycodon?"
"Xiaoye was originally going to bring you food, but something happened at home and her parents called her back, so she had no choice but to ask me..." the witch said calmly. Several days have passed, and she also I'm used to being called by this person's name directly.
At least I no longer have that unnatural and awkward feeling, which makes me feel quite weird psychologically.
"That's it, but why do I always feel that this reason seems familiar." Gu Mo held his chin, tilted his head and thought, had he heard this sentence yesterday, or even the day before yesterday? Come on, are you stuck in a time loop?
The witch was naturally aware of the problem, but she thought it should be another reason. After a little hesitation, she spoke:
"Maybe it's because of me. I told Xiaoye's parents a few days ago that your situation is quite special. They probably don't feel at ease..."
The villagers were very grateful to the half-demon in front of them, so they would help him deliver food every day, just as she herself also received this kind of treatment, and it was hard to refuse this offer. But this person happened to be out and about these days, so Xiaoye volunteered to take over this responsibility——
It was probably because she had a deep impression of being rescued at that time. The little girl had a good impression of this guy and trusted him very much, so she wanted to do something within her ability to repay him.
However, Platycodon must face the risks involved in this matter——
This person is a half-demon who has inherited the blood of monsters. He is using the power of the Four Souls Jade, and she is not familiar with him, so there is no way to give any absolute guarantee... Even in her opinion, he is a potential A powder keg that could turn into a possessed and murderous ogre at any time. It is indeed not suitable for an ignorant child to be exposed to alone every day.
"Oh, then I understand, no wonder this is the case..."
Gu Mo suddenly realized that if he said this, it would be completely understandable.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with Kikyo's approach. After all, the other party had only known him for a few days and had not established enough understanding and trust in him... What's more, from Kikyo's point of view, he was another person she knew who knew everything about him. The half-demon betrayed her because of the Four Souls Jade. This was a lesson learned from past experiences.
So this is really a normal thing. The miko's current attitude towards him is normal, and he doesn't think that he is special. It has only been a few days since others have known him, and no bond has been established yet, but they should trust him unconditionally. Self, take care of yourself...
If it's something you can't do yourself, don't be so harsh on others.
Kikyo couldn't help but glance at him, and found that he didn't care about it at all, and said nothing more.
The other person is not a person with extreme ideas, and can understand others in many cases. From various details, it seems that his origin is either rich or noble, or even a high-ranking person with an unimaginably good background. I don’t know how. Those who have developed this kind of behavior are simply incompatible with the melody of this era.
In this way, the two of them were each thinking about some random things, and they just brought the strange thing that happened just now.
They each came up with a reasonable explanation, and felt that it was just that, and no one considered it in other directions.
I found a shady hillside and sat under the shade of a big tree.
Gu Mo took out a cleaned berry from the basket, used the system's identification notes to confirm what kind it was, and took a bite. The taste is not particularly good, and the taste is also sour, but again, don't expect too much in this era.
The villagers are all like this, it’s good to have something to eat.
"Aren't you going to eat? Platycodon grandiflorum." She glanced at the miko who was sitting three feet away, and found that she had the same calm expression as always. She put the long bow beside her, slightly bent her knees, and her eyes didn't know what she was thinking. Looking at the blue sky in the distance, Gu Mo asked.
"I don't care...it doesn't matter whether you eat or not." The witch didn't look at him and just replied softly.
The body made of clay and ashes is like a piece of porcelain. Now that she is no longer alive, she naturally no longer has the needs she had during her lifetime in terms of food.
"That's such a pity..." Gu Mo shook his head and looked at the distant sky. Feeling the mountain wind blowing in front of him, he felt that his mind was very peaceful for a while.
He spent the afternoons like this in the past few days. The witch brought food and the two of them sat in a quiet place. Although they didn't speak much to each other, the atmosphere didn't feel stiff or awkward. It seemed like Kikyo When you are aside, even the air has a quiet beauty.
Silence spread silently.
But after a while, it was broken. Sitting under the shade of a tree, the miko, who was so cold that she seemed to have no temperature, looked away, looked at him, and softly uttered: "The situation you just had... you can't control your heart. An impulse?"
"Ahem, that's the case in a sense, but it's not because of Jade. It's not like I couldn't suppress the violence in my heart or anything... It's just that the guy's saliva almost got all over me. , I just gave it a little lesson, and the purpose was very simple."
Gu Mo shook his head repeatedly. It was not like he was bewitched by Yu and became murderous or something like that.
His desire to attack just now was purely because the thing disgusted him, nothing more.
"But these days, you have been looking for monsters to kill outside. This murderous intention is a bit too much..." Kikyo frowned slightly, she would not let go of any suspicious signs, plus she was originally Knowing how evil Jade's power is, it is natural to suspect that this person may have been bewitched without knowing it.
"Ahem, that's because they came here originally and will find the village sooner or later. I think it would be better to deal with them in advance and take the initiative."
Gu Mo coughed and explained very seriously.
He liked to wander around the village for many days. After all, how could he upgrade monsters while staying in his own house? Even if there are blind things that come to your door every now and then, smelling the smell of jade, they probably won't be able to grab Platycodon grandiflorum.
The witch is the strongest combination of the archer + mage professions, and in a sense it is already a dual profession. In the current version, she has been fully trained, with high attributes and strong skills. She is even sitting in the room, shooting arrows. He had already flown out of the village and evaporated the monsters that had just been spawned...
Moreover, the two sides are not currently in the same team, so he can't even gain experience.
So Gu Mo decisively went out for a walk. He had to fight monsters... Ah, no, he was a man. How could he stay in the village and eat soft rice? What's more, he couldn't even eat soft food at all.
But this kind of thing cannot be explained directly to the witch, and it can only be explained by another reason.
"It's best...if you feel something is wrong, tell me, otherwise, you may get deeper and deeper into trouble, and by then it will be too late." Kikyo stared at him and nodded slowly. He nodded, not sure whether he believed it or not, but said seriously in an admonishing tone.
She really didn't want this man to turn into a bloodthirsty monster.
"oh."
Facing this admonition for the unknown number of times, Gu Mo nodded noncommittally.
Oh again...
The Witch Goddess turned her face back without changing her expression. She stared straight ahead without wavering, while on the other side, her slender hand on the long bow squeezed slightly.
