Chapter 45: The Great Sword
Night, moonlight.
The whole village fell silent, and there was not a single candle light.
Whether it's a candle or an oil lamp, it's a luxury for Fangqiao Village, a poor fishing village.
Some villagers may have lighting items such as candles in their homes, but that is usually for emergencies.
So at night, the people in the village go to bed early to save the cost of lighting.
In Fang Yue's stone house, there was no light at all, it was quiet.
But he had not yet fallen asleep, and was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a large knife in his hand, and gently wiping it with a cloth by the moonlight that came in through the door and window.
There was a sword hanging on the head of the bed, brought back from the county town.
However, the sword is a weapon that is not resistant to slashing, and it is not practical for the opponent to leap into the current force and the possible opponent he will face.
The big knife in his hand was bought from the blacksmith shop in the town.
The knife weighed seventeen pounds and was made of cast iron, making it the heaviest broadsword in the blacksmith's shop.
More than a dozen pounds of broadswords, ordinary people will be tired and panicked after a few dances, let alone carry such a heavy knife to the battlefield.
But the other party jumped to say that it was light, but it was just a big knife in the blacksmith shop in the town, and the heaviest one was this one.
Fang Yue was in a hurry, so he took this one to make up the number first, and at the same time placed an order for the blacksmith shop to order a big knife of more than eighty catties.
After wiping the big knife, Fang Yue took it in his hand and waved it twice at will.
The quality of the broadsword is not very good, and the cast iron used is also commonly used in blacksmith shops to make farm tools and kitchen knives.
But as long as it is enough, Fang Yue is a pragmatist and does not pursue those fancy things.
A big knife is enough to be able to cut it.
Originally, it was intended to be used to deal with the East China Sea pirates who might run to Yutou Town to loot.
But tonight, it is clear that there are new enemies to use to open the blade.
"You should use merit to deduce a knife technique."
Fang Yue thought in his heart, he was not good at using knives, but when force came up, although he did not have the ability to "one law and one hundred laws", the basic concept of knife technique was there.
These are enough to deduce a basic knife technique, and integrate Fang Yue's rough experience and understanding of making knives into his body memory.
And then use it, it can be tempered like a thousand tempers.
It's a pity that the merit points are not enough, and the few merit points should be kept for backup.
Fang Yue had recently discovered a new use of merit points, which was enough to save lives when necessary, and maybe he could use them tonight.
This is also the hole card that he dares to deal with the mountain demon alone.
Suddenly there was a dog barking outside, and then, very quickly, the dogs of the whole village barked, and the barking was full of restlessness.
"Are you coming?"
Fang Yue stood up and came just in time, so as not to wait all night.
I don't know if it's an ordinary beast or something else that will attack tonight.
Fang Yue held the knife and walked straight out of the house to the small courtyard.
A black shadow pounced out from the darkness, not very large, about the size of a domestic dog, gray-black fur, under the cover of the night, suddenly attacked Fang Yue.
This is a gray wolf, agile and fast, striking in the dark, silently, sharp teeth straight to Fang Yue's throat, like a good killer.
In fact, wild wolves are natural killers in the jungle and grassland, and they are proficient in ambushes and sneak attacks.
A touch of knife light lit up, and the long knife slashed down, and wolf blood splashed.
Fang Yue's knife technique was not very skillful, but his reaction speed was fast and his strength was great, and this knife just slashed the gray wolf that flew over.
The wolf is a copper-headed iron-boned tofu waist, Fang Yue slashed at its hard head with a knife, but failed to completely split it, but flew out and rolled to the ground.
Fang Yue didn't have time to investigate the life and death of the gray wolf that flew out, and he didn't have time to mend the knife.
Because after this gray wolf attacked and attracted his attention, several more gray wolves immediately pounced from the night.
Wolves, not only killers, but also killers who like to besiege.
In the jungle steppe, wolves have always been extremely terrifying and intimidating.
Fang Yue swung his sword and raised his fist, fighting with more than a dozen gray wolves.
If he wanted to fight with these dozen gray wolves in the night before breaking through to the double level of enlightenment fist, even if he had a knife, Fang Yue was afraid that it would be more than lucky.
The darkness of night gives the gray wolves a great advantage, they can attack from the darkness at any time, and they can hide in the darkness at any time, making it impossible to be guarded against.
The gray fur, almost blending in with the night, is very difficult to see despite the hazy moonlight.
A lot of times, though, it's not just about seeing with your eyes.
The Double Enlightenment Dao Fist not only caused the internal qi in Fang Yue's chest to be generated, and the strength and speed increased several times, but also made Fang Yue's induction more acute.
The gray wolf wants to use the night to sneak up on him, which is simply delusional.
"Poof."
The sound of a long knife entering the flesh, a gray wolf attacked from behind, Fang Yue looked back, the long knife slashed at the gray wolf's waist, splitting the whole gray wolf into two halves, and the wolf's blood spilled on the ground.
Then he threw a punch and knocked another gray wolf out of the way.
Being hit by Fang Yue's fist didn't end much better than being slashed by a knife.
Fang Yue's fist, with the power of internal qi increased, a punch, even if it hit the wolf head known as the "copper head", it could cause a bone cracking effect.
Basically hit, even if the wolf is still struggling on the ground, it won't live long, and it is inevitable that it will lose its combat effectiveness.
It had only been a moment, and five or six wolves had already died or lost their combat effectiveness under Fang Yue's knife, and there were only about nine gray wolves left.
And the damage they inflicted on Fang Yue was nothing more than a bloody scratch on Fang Yue's back, and it was still avoided from the point.
The wolves were in a bit of a commotion, clearly feeling that the enemy was difficult to deal with and could not be defeated, and had the idea of retreating.
Generally speaking, wild beasts in the mountains and forests, when they encounter difficult enemies, rarely die unless they are hungry. For wild beasts, injury often means death.
However, even if the wolves wanted to retreat now, Fang Yue would not let them retreat.
Because Fang Yue discovered that killing every wild wolf could bring him about eight to ten merit points.
This is a big surprise.
"Could it be that these wild wolves have bitten people to death and have sins on them, so there are merit points for killing them? Or is it just that they are wolves, carnivores, so killing them gives them merit points? ”
Fang Yue didn't know the specific principle of generating merit points for the time being, but there was no doubt that the merit system was extremely biased towards the side of the human race.
Seeing the wild wolf hesitating, hiding in the dark, as if he wanted to escape, Fang Yue was about to step forward and turn his passivity into initiative.
On a hillside at the head of the village in the distance, a loud "whoosh" sounded, and the sound came from afar, making it clear in the silent village.
The wild wolf, which had originally retreated, followed the "whining" of the sky, its eyes became red, its teeth grinned, and it stretched out its claws again.
Not only that, but the roars of various mountain and forest beasts were heard throughout the village, echoing the loud "whoosh" sound at the beginning.
There was the roar of the tiger, the howling of the wolf, the cry of the leopard, the moo of the cow, and the cry of the wild boar.
These mountain and forest beasts, without exception, all rushed towards Fang Yue's stone house.
The barking dogs in the village were silent at the moment, hiding in the corner and shivering.
