Chapter 25: The Serpent and the Sword
When Wei Yixiao was thinking about how to deal with the inquiry of the Yaqi Snake, his hands that were oppressed by the strong momentum and couldn't move, because they didn't clench it, the box in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".
The lid of the box is smashed open, revealing the Kusanagi sword fragment inside.
"What! it's it!" the huge rock in the hall in front of Wei Yixiao suddenly exploded, and a huge figure rushed out of it.
Wei Yixiao looked at it, it was a black giant snake with eight heads and eight tails, its eyes were blood-red like red lantern fruits, and there was moss on its body, giving people a very old feeling.
What shocked Wei Yixiao was that only one of the eight heads of the giant snake was an entity, and the others were all phantoms.
Wei Yixiao subconsciously used the 'recognition' function to observe, and looked at the read information, Wei Yixiao swallowed his saliva.
"Yaqi Great Snake (mutilated), B-rank peak divine beast, the rest is unknown. ”
Although the information read by the system this time was even less than the data read by Koizumi Eleven Lang before, the information of a divine beast and a B-rank peak alone had already made Wei Yixiao dumbfounded.
Wei Yi smiled and recalled the myths and legends of the island nation.
The great god Susanoo in the mythology of the island country took a ten-armed sword and destroyed the Yaki Orochi, and then dismembered his body. When Susanoo slashed the tail of the serpent, the ten-armed sword, which was the sword of the gods, touched something hard and slightly defected a horn.
Susanoo was taken aback and cut his tail open to find a very sharp sword.
That sword was the original body of his own Kusanagi sword fragment.
"Boy, where did you get this fragment?" asked the Eight Qi Snake's blood-red eyes, staring at Wei Yixiao, eager to know the source of the fragment.
The box containing the shards of the Kusanagi Sword floated in front of Wei Yixiao's eyes.
"I also got this Kusanagi Sword fragment occasionally from an Awoken before. He gave it to me without knowing where it came from. Wei Yixiao felt the pressure around him disappear again, and replied honestly.
"Oh, you're a mere ant who knows the fragments of the Kusanagi sword? Yaqi Orochi was a little surprised, and after speaking, he looked at the dusty Kusanagi Sword fragment in the box, and his blood-red eyes showed a little softness, and said: "This Kusanagi Sword Fragment is of great use to this seat, and your dedication to this seat is enough to prove your loyalty." ”
"Lord Orochin, this fragment is actually the key to entering Takamagahara. Collect all three pieces and reforge the Kusanagi Sword to enter the legendary place where the gods live. Wei Yixiao reminded after seeing that the attitude of the Yaqi Snake had softened a lot.
The big snake turned his head suddenly, and his slender body quickly wrapped Wei Yixiao, his huge blood-red eyes stared at Wei Yixiao, and the snake letter almost touched Wei Yixiao's face, and said with great interest: "I didn't expect this seat to look away, you actually know so thoroughly about the Kusanagi Sword, interesting, interesting hahahahaha." ”
The Yaqi Orochi let go of Wei Yixiao and continued: "You brought this Kusanagi Sword fragment to this seat, and you also know the secrets of High Heaven Plain, then you are qualified to know the origin of this seat. ”
The Yaqi Orochi glanced at Wei Yixiao and did not continue to investigate why Wei Yixiao was able to know his identity just now, and said: "Back then, Susanoo's miscellaneous design framed the Honza, cut off all the heads and tails of the Honza, and extracted the Natal Spirit Sword condensed by the essence of the whole body of the Honza. ”
"But how do you know that this seat is an immortal body, over the years, this seat has reunited its body and devoted itself to cultivation, but in the era of spiritual energy depletion after the fall of the gods, the recovery of this seat's strength is very slow. ”
The more Yaqi Orochi spoke, the more excited he became: "Today, in this era of revival of aura, this seat has seen an opportunity for recovery. And you brought the fragment of the Natal Spirit Sword with you today, which has accelerated the process of returning to the top of the Throne. As long as you collect all three fragments, this seat will be able to open the secret realm of the high heavenly plain, reunite your true body, and reign over the world again. ”
The Yaqi Giant Snake looked at his broken body and said, "I think that when this seat was at its peak, there were often eight-colored clouds floating above his head, and his body was as huge as eight peaks and eight valleys, and now this is the broken body that evolved from this abandoned head. What a terrible word. ”
Wei Yixiao finally understood the meaning of the 'mutilation' behind the name of the Yaqi Giant Snake in the information he had just read, and it turned out that the Yaqi Giant Snake in front of him was just a head of his back then.
One head is the peak of B-rank, so how terrifying is the eight-headed and eight-tailed complete body Yaqi Snake?
Wei Yixiao couldn't even think about it, this was beyond the scope of his cognition.
"Why did Lord Orochi tell me this?" Wei Yixiao felt a little panicked, the words of the Baqi Great Snake just now had already revealed a lot of secrets, but knowing too much was not a good thing for Wei Yixiao at this moment.
"I want you to be the spokesperson of this seat, and search for the remaining fragments of the Kusanagi Sword in the world for this seat. After you have successfully gathered, we will promise to grant you an unimaginable creation. And during the time you search, this seat will always be protected by you. After speaking, the red eyes of the Baqi Giant Snake's lantern stared at Wei Yi and smiled: "I don't like to force people to make the decisions you want." ”
"Again, did you give me the right to choose? I know so much, if I don't promise to get out of here today?" Wei Yixiao replied with a smile in his heart:
"I promised Lord Orochi to help collect the Kusanagi Sword fragments, but I still have one more thing I want to ask my lord, why does it have to be me? I'm just a D-rank beginner-level awakener, there are countless people in this world who are stronger than me and more powerful than me, and they use the power in their hands to find the things that adults need, but they get twice the result with half the effort, right?" Wei Yi smiled and said the doubts in his heart.
"Hmph, how many of those ants today know the identity of this seat, and a few can know the secret of the Kusanagi Sword. Although you are only a D-class ant, this seat senses that you are very unusual. ”
"Moreover, now there is no one in the strength of this seat, and in this era of aura recovery, there are still a variety of variables. After so many years, he has finally regained some strength, and he does not want to go back to the dark underground, and continue to wait for nothing. ”
After explaining, the Yaqi Orochi muttered in his heart: "And you are just a D-class ant, no matter how fast you grow, what waves can you make." ”
Wei Yixiao smiled helplessly, of course he knew those little ninety-nine in the heart of the Baqi Great Snake, but he didn't say anything.
Although the Yaqi Great Snake is currently at the peak of the B-rank strength, there must be an existence in this world that can threaten him. has been hiding his body for so many years, and choosing to know the secret and have low strength at this moment is naturally the safest choice.
In my ears, I heard the question of the Yaki Orochi, "What is your name?"
Wei smiled. ”
Yaqi Orochi nodded his huge head and said, "You let go of your heart, this seat will be lodged on you." ”
Wei Yixiao was shocked and worried, and thought, "Not only do you force me to do things, but you also enslave my body." Why am I so miserable? ”
The Baqi Giant Snake seemed to see through Wei Yixiao's thoughts, and said disdainfully: "You are a mere human ant, and this seat still disdains to give up." This seat is going to borrow your right arm to stay here to protect you, and rest assured that it will not have a big impact on your body. After speaking, he didn't wait for Wei Yixiao to answer, and directly turned into a red light that shot directly at Wei Yixiao's right arm.
With a burst of coldness, Wei Yixiao saw that his right arm, from his wrist to his right shoulder, was completely wrapped in a lifelike eight-headed eight-tailed snake tattoo.
The red eyes are bright red, the body is strong, and he wants to rush out.
