This is the conclusion of Xia Jing.

"Just fight back once. Regardless of the outcome, we slipped away immediately after the counterattack. ”

"Summer view, but ......"

The rear should be unfolding, which reassures Anno.

"Well, I guess they expected us to run away. I don't think she'll sit idly by and watch us escape...... So, we have to fight back and fight our way out. ”

That's right, I'm not going to go my own way for meaningless impulses.

Autumn has indicated that she will attack with all her might. As a corollary, she probably won't sit idly by and watch us escape.

So it was necessary to find a way to get her smacked - and at the same time create a chance to escape.

"Have you thought of a way?"

Lin Yu asked.

"Even if you want to fight back, she has a seven-song protection."

"Where's that weapon of Senior Sister Lanyang?"

Xia Jing glanced at Lan Yang's weapon, but—

"I don't know if I'll be able to get through that transparent wall. I'm not familiar enough with this weapon myself. ”

"Yes. That's all about scattering chips. ”

"What do you mean?"

Yasuno was puzzled.

Xia Jing first squinted behind him, and then held the golden branch hard.

“…… I'm going to crush the phantom beast. Of course, I knew it would be a less probable bet. ”

Now that we have been robbed of a weapon, we will also consume the enemy's combat power in return for a tooth.

Xia Jing looked around at everyone.

Anye, Lin Yu, Lan Yang, and Anai.

"You only get one chance. In case of failure, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to flee with all your might. Do you all know? ”

The group found a spot that had not yet been affected by the fire, so they decided to wait there for Akiyin's arrival.

It seems to have been a warehouse or something. Except for the entrance, there are stucco walls on all sides, and if it weren't for the collapse of most of the wooden doors, the space inside would have been shrouded in darkness.

The space is quite spacious. The ceilings are also high. It should be enough for Lan Yang to swing that big knife.

The conditions are quite ideal.

Try to touch the wall and you can't feel the heat. It seems that the fire has not spread to the next door, and as long as the wall is destroyed, it should be able to escape. Even though it's a warehouse, there's not a single farm tool in it, so it looks like a weapon that can be used - is that a fly in the ointment?

Without further ado, Xia Jing immediately explained the plan to everyone.

Assign their respective tasks by the way. After a succinct explanation, Anno said in a disturbed voice, "The one you said...... Can it succeed?"

"I'm not sure."

Xia Jing confessed.

"So I said it's a bet, right? Moreover...... Even if you fail, you will only lose a hand."

"It's okay for us. The problem is that you ...... summer scene."

"It's nothing compared to your father. Anyway, it can be cured with treasures."

"That's true, but ......."

Lin Yu's brows furrowed.

The first person to say yes was Lan Yang.

"I believe in Xia Jing."

"Really?"

"Even if Xia Jing is unfortunately injured, I will protect you. Definitely."

"I can't help you. Let's give it a try."

Yasuno smiled wryly.

"Anyway, I wish I could show half of my mother's strength."

「…… Alas, how are they all fools with courage and no strategy."

Sighing verbally, Lin Yu also showed a smile that swept away his doubts.

"Let's hurry up and end this unfavorable situation and go home early."

"Then it's settled."

Xia Jing stood up.

That's the code for action, and everyone is getting ready for it.

Xia Jing accepted Anye's magic harp and slashed it over the bow with a golden branch. It doesn't look like it's scarred. But his instincts told him that it was already under control.

"You take it and try it."

Xia Jing handed the bow back to Anye, and she flicked the bowstring as if she was afraid.

The sound didn't sound - it worked.

"I'm so surprised."

Anno praised unabashedly.

"I didn't expect it to be effective on treasures......

"This has increased the success rate."

Whether the dominating effect of the golden branch covers the treasure. That's the first hurdle.

However, the threshold for the next hurdle is higher.

Although when I experimented with other things, a cup and a pen holder, it turned out to be a success......

"Anyway, that's the end of the preparations. Next ......."

The group led by Xia Jing looked at the closed door together.

After counting for a full ten seconds.

"Hey, so you're hiding here."

Through the cracks in the broken warehouse door, Qiu Yin smiled faintly.

Then there was a loud bang.

The door panel was knocked away by the phantom beast, and flew into the warehouse in flames.

"Is the battle meeting over?"

Qiu Yin swaggered in, as if to say, "You're running out of options."

"Hi, Sister Lin Yu. If you are weak, you should be weak."

"Are you ready?"

Xia Jing poses out of the shelf——

"Do it!"

The counterattack began.

The first to take the lead was Lin Yu.

She didn't hesitate to kill Qiu Yin.

"Wow, I don't want to be weak. That's so arrogant."

For a moment, Lin Yu seemed to hesitate, but she immediately gritted her teeth, grinning at Qiu Yin as if she was boosting her morale, and charged forward desperately.

"I ......"

The iron claws of both hands emitted a cold light, lowering the center of gravity of the body.

"It's not a weak ......!"

「…… Phantom Beasts."

The electric spirit beast leaped in front of him.

The white light rushed towards Lin Yu, intending to burn her to ashes.

"Don't succeed."

Whispering, Lan Yang swung his six-foot-long blade and slashed upwards from diagonally below.

It's not that fast. I'm afraid it's not as good as the previous sand.

But that's enough. As long as you can catch up, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow now.

The blade appeared in front of the phantom beast and slashed to the side. Just like the track that Lan Yang swung on, it came from diagonally below.

After the electric shock and the white blade clashed, the phantom beast showed fear.

「…… It's not over yet."

Lan Yang muttered, but made a clear and powerful declaration.

With the residual strength of the sword, he used horizontal slashes, stabs, and slashes one after another.

The phantom beast was defeated by the sharp attack and retreated.

"Lin Yu, it's now."

Lin Yu responded.

"Understood!"

The second assault. Qiu Yin naturally opened the wall of the seven songs.

This time, Qiu Yin put on a defensive posture, but he was still not timid in the face of the impact, Lin Yu's iron claws were bounced back in the opposite direction, and his body leaned back sharply. Lin Yu flipped a somersault along that momentum, and jumped up again.

「…… Uh-huh!"

Use all your strength to attack-that's what Xia Jing explained to Lin Yu. He also said that since she has a protective wall, it is better to break that protective wall and clean her up. Lin Yu did live up to Xia Jing's expectations, flexibly using his petite body to launch an offensive against Qiu Yin with all his might.

That's when a flaw appeared.

Lan Yang switched the target of his attack from the Phantom Beast to Qiu Yin.

With a blank face, she aimed at her enemy, and without saying a word, she raised her knife and slashed diagonally.

The blade appeared in front of Akiyin's eyes, apparently within a distance of the inner side of the barrier.

And yet—

The blade of the knife settled three centimeters in front of Qiu Yin's eyes with a dull sound.

It turns out that another wall has appeared on the inside of the barrier.

"It's stupid."

Qiu Yin sneered, "Could this be your killer weapon? If so, it would be too much of a disappointment for me."

"That's right. It's a killer feature."

Xia Jing replied, "...... If the killer doesn't work, then it's a last resort."

Anno has already pulled the strings of the magic harp.

It's just that it's not used as a piano.

Instead, improvised arrows were mounted to act as a bow.

The arrows were made by tying a golden branch to a thin strip of wood—a part separated from a scratched pillar—and pieced together.

Xia Jing stood in front of Anye, who was drawing a bow, holding the front end of the bow and arrow.

Qiu Yin was shocked to realize that something was wrong.

"You ...... Do you want to ......?"

A few days ago, Xia Jing did an experiment at home - if you throw objects with a golden branch, will it still have an effect? The result was doable, and the effect lasted for about three seconds after the golden branch left his hand.

Case.

If you use it as a bow and arrow, three seconds is more than enough.

Xia Jing let go of the golden branch.

"Anno, release the arrows!"

"Understood!"

The target, of course, is a white electric spirit beast that ordinary flesh and blood can never approach.

「…… Are you playing for real?"

Autumn Yin shouted.

Too late.

Anno's fingers let go of the bowstring.

Qiu Yin reflexively, no, it should be said that Qiu Yin was the only one who plugged his ears.

The strings, of course, did not make a sound.

Under the control of Xia Jing, it is easy to suppress the vibration of the strings.

I only heard a sound of breaking the air,

The tip of the bow and arrow hit the back of the electric spirit beast in one fell swoop.

- Okay, I'm going to play next.

Xia Jing concentrated.

Infuse consciousness into the phantom beast that was poked by the tip of the golden branch.

There was a feeling in my head as if a huge mass was thundering and struggling against it. Xia Jing used his strength to subdue that thing. It doesn't rely on wrist strength, but mental strength.

The flood was strong and violent. Xia Jing's heart was almost overwhelmed and bounced open.

But at this moment, I felt like there was a force behind me. Dominance increases.

As arranged in advance, someone picked up the golden branch that fell on the ground and held it for Keisuke to hold. When the owner is at the disposal of the substance, holding it can function like an antenna. In other words, whether or not you have a golden branch in your hand will greatly affect the efficiency of receiving messages.

It should be Lan Yang who ran to pick it up. Xia Jing was grateful, and at the same time, he concentrated more on fighting the phantom beast in full swing.

There is only one command.

- Self-destruct.

Perish. Crash it. Break it. Disappear.

Finally, turn to dust.

In the previous experiments with teacups and pencil cases, the results were satisfactory. Xia Jing regarded this as one of the extended uses of freely changing shapes, and tried to strongly instill the idea of destruction, and in the end the thing really broke. However, the premise is that the specific destruction must be imagined as clearly as possible. What will this guy's destruction look like with a phantom beast?

Is it crawling all over the body and shattering to the ground? Or will it become a pile of sand and weathered?

I don't know. It's because he doesn't have a clue at all, Xia Jing is infused with all imaginable pictures of destruction.

Even if it is a substance with incredible power, it must exercise absolute domination over it!

Xia Jing was so focused on dealing with the phantom beast that he felt as if the lines in his head were about to be broken.

In a moment, the power of suppression finally became greater than the power of quarrel. Resistance has a tendency to weaken.

Nailed it. Xia Jing thought so.

Suddenly.

- Something is imprinted on the back of the retina.

Suddenly—

I closed my eyes, but there was a landscape in front of me.

It is neither color nor black and white, but it is understandable that it is an image.

My instinct told me that this was the experience I had when I was working with a combination of electrical appliances. The structure of the object and the mechanism become an abstract picture that flows into my mind. That's a kind of feedback phenomenon caused by domination.

However, unlike electrical appliances, it is not the parts that are imprinted in the mind.

That is, the vast grassland. It's as if you're looking through someone's eyes.

However, the height of the viewing angle is particularly low. It's like walking on four feet.

What catches my eye is a young girl—a woman.

The woman was dressed in an ancient Hanfu. Staring in this direction with a sharp gaze. A girl with black hair fluttering in the wind and a somewhat god-like appearance like Ye Ya picked up a sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Xia Jing.

It was a double-edged blade.

His gaze suddenly sank.

You can see the tips of the beast's feet on the left and right sides below. It's covered in tabby.

Xia Jing had the illusion that it had grown out of himself.

- What is it?

Just when Xia Jing was surprised, the girl jumped forward with a sword and jumped up, and in an instant, the sword edge was in front of her-

「…… Woo!"

The vision is pulled back to reality.

Xia Jing regained consciousness.

Blinked several eyelids. The former self has vanished without a trace.

Instead, what caught my eye was the back of Lan Yang. She used her body to block the front to protect Xia Jing.

Then there is Lin Yu's body. She put on a pose to contain Qiu Yin.

As for Qiu Yin, she had a look of utter shock on her face that Xia Jing had probably never seen before.

Behind it, there is the breath of Anno and Ana.

and—

"How is that possible?"

Qiu Yin whispered blankly.

The phantom beast with sparks spraying all over its body slammed......

Fell to the ground and died.

The electricity that wraps around it gradually dissipates.

At the same time, cracks began to appear throughout the body.

What was left in place was like a corpse.

Wrong. This is undoubtedly a corpse.

"Hey...... What is this?"

Even Xia Jing couldn't hide his embarrassment.

Xia Jing thought it was an electrical condensation with the appearance of a beast, but it was just an inanimate prop. Judging from the expressions of the others, it seems that even the people of the clan think so.

But the one in front of me is-

"What...... What's going on?"

If the phantom beast were alive, it wouldn't be ......

"Isn't it...... These treasures are ......."

Xia Jing examined the golden branch in his hand.

This short knife, with its dark cream conical blade, has a blue vein-like pattern floating on its body, which makes people feel terrified to look at.

This knife - no, including the magic harp, the long whip, and so on, shouldn't all be-

"They're all alive?"

"Huh...... Hehehehehe, hahahaha!"

Qiu Yin suddenly burst out laughing.

"It's so much fun! Very interesting! It is worthy of Xia Jing...... I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"

Obviously, his weapon was destroyed, but Qiu Yin looked ecstatic, which seemed incompatible with the atmosphere of the scene.

"Huh...... If the sword is the natural enemy of the deer clan, then your golden branch is like the natural enemy of the hidden object, right? It is possible to make such a flexible application of a treasure that has been discarded like a piece of dust! You're so good!"

Everyone was stunned and stunned.

After laughing in such an atmosphere for a while, Qiu Yin slowly looked around at everyone.

His gaze finally stayed on Xia Jing's body.

"Xia Jing, you passed. I decided to make you mine, and it was the right decision."

"What are you talking about?"

Lin Yu stood in front of Xia Jing, glaring at Qiu Yin with a vicious look in his eyes.

"Don't you see you've lost your weapon?"

"yes. But you still can't threaten my life. With you now, you can't break this seven songs...... So what if you lose both sides this time?"

"Enough is enough! You woman......
