Chapter XVIII Prerequisites
The Folding Knife was a gift from the Outsider, and the material it used was a weapon stained with Mo Chen's own blood, mixed with the matter in the void.
While it has a memorable symbolic meaning, it also has a good practicality, is strong and sharp, and has the property of breaking boundaries and directly touching other phases......
However, that's all, the characteristics it has may be very valuable, but as a weapon itself, in the most basic aspect of "destructive power", neither the strength of destructive power nor the destructive range can be too satisfying to Mo Chen, a user.
He didn't expect to be able to achieve the destructive power of Cong Yunya, which was like a nuclear weapon in the real sense, but the folding knife itself couldn't even rub out a light cannon, so the upper limit was too low, right?
Therefore, if he wanted to mix in this era, Mo Chen judged that it was necessary to master a powerful demon knife based on the information he knew.
Of course, the main problem at the moment is to solve the key to having and not having to solve the problem first, so he didn't think about getting the god costume in one step - otherwise, this is actually very simple, and the modern Sunset Shrine is enshrined in Cong Yunya.
It is said that it was because of the decision made by his servants not long after the death of the Doufang King, so the magic sword has been passed on to modern time and space.
At that time, Inuyasha had just been born, but Sesshomaru was too violent. According to the will of the Fighting Tooth King, he left the iron broken teeth that symbolized protection to the inuyasha who lacked strength, and the natural teeth that symbolized mercy to the overly violent Sesshomaru.
I don't know what to do with it, and I was sealed and thrown into the bone-eating well, and then it was discovered by the ancestors of the Sunset Shrine, so it was stored in the warehouse as a grass pheasant sword.
Mo Chen also went to see it once, but he didn't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have, he even took a fragment of the Jade of the Four Souls and used it as a ticket, so naturally he wouldn't have the idea of fighting that magic sword.
At least not now.
This is not the case with death, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step. Until he has fully digested Himiko's huge power, and his own state is still obviously flawed, he will not do something that is clearly looking for death.
……
……
The blue sky is like a magnificent sapphire that has just been washed, and beneath the rolling mountains is a dense forest, and the sun shines like wisps of golden sand, dappled through the overlapping crevices.
Lush greenery and wildflowers are everywhere, creating a vibrant scene...... Well, none of that, just piles of xenos with severed limbs and severed arms, and the gurgling blood almost converged into a stream, and the blood was bloody.
"The one hundred and twenty-fourth, the one hundred and twenty-fifth ......"
The cold light flashed, and the knife fell, and Mo Chen simply cut off the heads of the two monsters that pounced on him. He walked all the way through completely unreasonable slashing and slashing, resulting in the corpses of some low-level youkai all along the road.
Only these low-level monsters, which were completely driven by instinct, would not know the fear at all when their kind were slaughtered one after another, and continued to sacrifice their lives and forget about their deaths, so that Mo Chen's prepared taunt skills did not need to be thrown out.
- You know, he has prepared the branch ability of illusion, and once he finds that the monster attraction side can't keep up, he will immediately throw out a berserk spell.
Anyway, no matter how strong the combat power of those things is, it is impossible to threaten him, and as long as he goes berserk, loses his mind, and lines up to slaughter himself, then it will be much more convenient.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that there was no need for Mo Chen to use berserk techniques to taunt and attract monsters, and they themselves didn't have much rationality to speak of.
Many of them weren't even as good as the Hundred-Legged Demon Woman, at least the thing could still speak, and some of its bodies looked like humans. At the very least, even if there is no "wisdom", there is still "intelligence".
Or maybe it's because of the quantity? If there are only one or two low-level youkai, then how can they know how to escape in the face of danger, right?
After all, it is the instinct of life to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Hanging down the long knife in his hand, Mo Chen thought for a moment, and felt that it might be because there were too many of them, and the group state had led to a large drop in IQ - there were not many things in the first place, and if they dropped significantly, they could basically be regarded as negative.
Just like humans, once an individual enters a group, their IQ drops severely.
It's hard to say whether more people will really be powerful, but it's really a common thing to reduce IQ when there are more people......
Or these low-level monsters are like this, when they are alone, they should still know how to escape in the face of danger and threats. However, when a large number of low-level youkai are gathered, no matter how many companions are killed, the flesh will only stimulate their ferocity even more?
"It's really a cheat, it looks like the way to slaughter a thousand monsters and turn ordinary weapons into demon knives...... There is also a premise. ”
didn't think about those things without answers, just raised the heavy long knife in his hand and looked at it for a long time, Mo Chen couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.
The long knife was already full of fine cracks, and it was obvious that he had already specially selected it, and the choice was a cold weapon with thick materials and practical materials, but there was always no way to compete with the durability of an inhuman body.
They have thick skin, dense bones, and strong scales...... The result of the direct confrontation of ordinary cold weapons is often impossible to break the defense at all.
Now that this heavy long knife has been completely blunted, it is probably a little bit less than the number of times or time it can be used before the durability is cleared and it shatters directly.
It's absolutely impossible to sustain the time when you can continue to slash and kill a thousand youkai...... To be honest, at the end of the battle just now, Mo Chen completely used it as a blunt weapon.
After all, the blade has been completely blunted, and there is no sharpness to speak of, so is there any difference between this thing and a crowbar?
He just relied on his lightning speed and strength far beyond ordinary people's imagination to kill the last few youkai with a blunt knife.
It's just that the killing path of this long knife has ended here, and it can be regarded as abandoned.
Since there was no hope of success, Mo Chen would not be sorry, so he casually threw the long knife to the ground, and then turned around and walked back to find his horse.
Make a wish or promise to your own weapon, let it drink the blood of a thousand monsters, and when it is successful, ordinary cold weapons will also become powerful demon knives.
However, this method does not mean that it is enough to find enough blood of a thousand youkai to pour a weapon, but to use that weapon to really kill a thousand youkai without discount...... This complete process is the "blood refining" in a sense.
Therefore, when it was actually implemented, Mo Chen found out that the real difficulty was, for him, killing a thousand monsters was not a problem, and the key points that needed to be paid attention to were none other than the two aspects of "time" and "patience".
However, whether the weapon itself can withstand the pressure is the real question...... That's right, how could the material of an ordinary blade support the pressure of killing a thousand youkai in a row?
In the original plot, the leader of the seven-person team, the brute bone, used the big dragon and the brute dragon, although it was not a demon sword at the beginning, but it also had something special, that is, it was full of weight-
It took three strong men to be able to lift it together, and it was basically a thick piece of stubborn iron, heavy and powerful when chopping.
Only such a weapon can support the killing of a thousand monsters in a row, and it has not been shattered itself, and can support it until the entire "blood refining" process is completed, so that a real qualitative change can occur.
Mo Chen, who figured out this key point, had no choice but to admit that he had done useless work...... But fortunately, it didn't fall short when it was close to a thousand youkai killed. Now that the kill count of more than a hundred is invalid, he feels that he can still bear it.
Since this path did not work, he simply gave up.
Anyway, the next step is to find the demon horse Yanhoof, and if you want to subdue it, you must first kill its former master, the Purgatory Ghost, and then snatch the naginata knife in the other party's hand.
That naginata knife doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, but in the later period, even Naraku's doppelganger White Boy was directly taken and used, so there must be something extraordinary about it.
Anyway, for Mo Chen, even if it doesn't have any other brilliance, as long as it is strong enough...... That's fine.
……
……
When you climb the stone steps, you can see that the temple is located in a lush forest, which seems to be extremely silent.
You can't hear chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, and you can't hear the melodious sound of bells.
The statue of the Buddha enshrined in the temple is incomplete, just like the entire temple building, and some of the walls and pillars have peeled off the skin, which looks very old and looks very old.
In the main hall, the young man was asking the old monk: "Master, I am very rich now, but I am not happy at all, can you tell me what to do?" ”
“…… What does this mean by donor? The old monk didn't quite understand. ”
The old monk didn't have the wisdom to smile, he just frowned, as if he couldn't understand why this young man who had trespassed in without permission had such an inexplicable question as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, please forget what just happened......"
The corners of Mo Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't understand if his brain twitched just now, and he suddenly remembered the philosophical story between the Zen master and the young man, and came as soon as he opened his mouth.
It's really strange to say.,I used to be a very serious person.,But lately, I always feel like there's a strange trend of change.。
Well, it must be an illusion, although I have been a little out of tune recently, but the frequency increase is really not large, so it must be no problem!
The old monk didn't know the mental activity of the young man in front of him at the moment, so he just stood up, saluted with his hands together, and asked the other party seriously and seriously.
And there is a faint vigilance and vigilance in his expression.
The old forest ancient temple in the deep mountains, those who come are not good and those who are good do not come, and the appearance of the other party does not look like they came to worship, there must be a picture.
The most important thing is that the old monk vaguely sensed the spiritual aura in the body of the young man opposite, the majestic and vast, like the abyss and the sea, made him feel like a great enemy.
This kind of terrifying spiritual power intensity, not only has he never seen it, but he has never even heard of it at all, and he has never heard of it.
And it's impossible to be so young when you give birth to the other party...... Or some scary old monster?
"Master Shenquan, this time I came here for the demon horse Yanhoof."
After Mo Chen blinked, he said in a harmonious voice, looking at his calm and natural appearance, it was as if he was asking the boss if he could get two cents cheaper when he went to the street to buy vegetables.
"It was sealed by you back then, and the location must be in the cave behind the temple, right? So, can you please ask Master Shenquan to make it easier for you? ”
“……”
“……”
"Is it really for this reason?" Monk Shenquan was not surprised, although his expression was still so serious, "But please forgive the old monk for not agreeing, the donor should please go back." ”
"Please don't refuse so quickly, Master Shenquan, you should know that seals are meant to be broken, how long can you stay here at your age?"
Mo Chen said with a smile, not angry, but chose to be reasonable.
"I don't even need to do anything, just wait a few years...... When you turn into a handful of loess, master, will you be able to stop me at that time? ”
