54. An unquenchable fire
After Sal's 'stalking', the finch who had made up his mind to ignore him for a long time still relented after a few minutes, snorted coldly and placed a virtual screen in front of Sal.
"Unquenchable Flame: The flame controlled by Kyo Kusanagi, the hero of the popular manga and game 'The King of Fighters', will not be extinguished until the target is burned to ashes unless the releaser voluntarily disables it. D-level skills, which require 7000 energy points to exchange. ”
Looking at the option in front of him, Sal's eyes lit up.
Although he has already redeemed the seventy-two troubled winds, he is still slightly inferior to his goal in terms of the efficiency of slaying giants, after all, the weakness of giants always exists only in the back of their necks, and no matter how precise the position of the troublesome winds he casts, he cannot hurt the vital points of all the giants around him at the same time, which will inevitably continue to be time-consuming and laborious.
But if it is paired with the 'Unquenchable Fire', it will be much simpler, as long as this flame is attached to the qi blade cut by the troubled wind, then the giants will hang before they can get it? Even if you can't be hacked to death at once, you will be burned alive.
Without much hesitation, Sal directly confirmed the exchange, and then a bright light flashed from him, and a large piece of information appeared in his mind, the 'Unquenchable Fire' had arrived, but it also brushed his energy point to 1009.
Sal didn't feel distressed about this at all, and couldn't wait to practice in the Nirvana space.
"Seventy-two troubled winds!"
I saw the double blades in his hands swinging like the wind, and the countless qi blades he cut out formed a blade tornado and struck towards the void in the distance, flying straight for a hundred meters before it could be scattered and disappear, and the power was considerable!
Nodding with satisfaction, Thrall slashed out another seventy-two troubled wind, but this time he used the unquenchable fire at the same time, only to see that the air blade tornado that should have been light blue instantly turned into a terrifying flame tornado! The already powerful Seventy-Two Troubles Wind actually rose another notch with the cooperation of the Immortal Fire, and this time it flew over more than one hundred and twenty meters with a terrifying momentum before it began to slowly dissipate!
Although he enjoyed the novelty of releasing the skill, a seventy-two troubled wind would cost 3 points of essence, and a fire tornado with an inextinguishable fire would cost 6 points at once, and with the total amount of essence he had now, he could only release ten realms at a time, so after a little experiment, he said hello to the finch with satisfaction, and returned to the real world from the Nirvana space.
After riding for a while, Thrall finally made his way through the woods to the small village where Ani was.
It's deserted here, except for the occasional birdsong and insect chirp, as if it's a dead place, but don't look at the houses with slight traces of damage, the surrounding green mountains and green waters, but there is a different atmosphere.
When he went to the hut where Ani had stayed before, he looked inside, but saw no one, and looked elsewhere, until he finally saw the figure in an abandoned wasteland at the edge of the village.
Ani simply tied her short blonde hair as usual, and the bandages on her body were cleaned, and it was seen that the injuries on her body were not healed.
She wore only the soldier's shirt that had been worn out a lot, a pair of linen pants that she had found out of nowhere, and practiced her mastery of martial arts in the field barefoot in the field against a dummy made of wooden stakes with cloth belts.
Standing at a distance and watching for a while, Sal, who found it bored, coughed twice before he woke Arnie up.
Turning his head to look over and finding that it was Sal, Ani was a little surprised, but he was not as frightened as before, he moved his wrist casually and walked over, standing three meters in front of Sal, and did not speak, just stared at him quietly, with a gloomy face.
“…… Can't you change your horrible countenance? It's still a girl. ”
Smiling, Thrall handed over the snakeskin bag in his hand--- which contained food supplies that he had taken out of the spatial ring before entering the village.
Without saying a word, he took the snakeskin bag in his hand, opened it and looked inside, and Ani put it on his shoulder and walked towards the hut where he lived.
"Come with me."
Sal shook his head amusedly, and followed--- he could clearly see that although he was well disguised, this guy's hand had been trembling slightly since he appeared.
It seems that she is still afraid that she will not be good for her.
Returning to the hut and sitting down, Thrall forgot about it, although it was still dilapidated, but Ani had been well cleaned up during the time she had lived here, and the house was very clean and tidy.
After entering the door, he casually threw the bag of food on the bed, Ani sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the calm Sal, and was silent for a while and asked, "Why help me?" ”
Hearing this, Sal only spit out these two words: "Hometown." ”
Ani's expression changed: "I remember I told you, don't try to get any information from me. ”
Sal smiled and shook his head, then felt that the room was a little dark, so he got up and walked to the table and picked up the old oil lamp, stretched out his right index finger, and with a slight movement of his mind, a jumping flame came out of his fingertips.
Igniting the depleted oil lamp in Arnie's shocked gaze, Thrall smiled and sat down again, looking at him.
"I can save your life."
"That's not important!! Who the hell are you!? Witnessing this incredible scene, Arnie could no longer pretend to be calm, and suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed and asked, arching his body with a look of wariness.
"They sent you? No...... No, they can't have that power! Are you a member of the Bloodline? That's what it is...... That 'weapon'? ”
No way, human beings will always be afraid of the unknown, although she can transform into a giant, but releasing flames out of thin air with a human body is not something she can understand, in her opinion, this hand can already be regarded as 'witchcraft', if it weren't for the perverted strength of Sarna, I'm afraid she would have already turned into a war at this time, but in a panic, she still subconsciously confided some 'secrets' from her mouth.
"You're hiding a lot of things...... Don't worry, it's just a little trick, and it has nothing to do with what you said, so you don't need to be so nervous. ”
In the face of Arnie's nervous questioning, Sal secretly wrote down the name 'Blood', and then continued to put on that indifferent look and said: "Let's not mention this about me, I said before, I can save your life, and even your wishes, I can help you achieve it, everything depends on whether you are worthy of cooperation or not, especially the 'Bloodline', I am very interested." ”
"My wish?"
Hearing this, Ani, who knew that he was speechless, was shocked, but he still continued to force his composure and said stiffly: "...... Cut, only say pretty things, you don't know anything at all! ”
"The ability to turn into a giant...... It must be very popular in your 'hometown', right? ”
Without arguing with her, Sal asked.
"What do you want to say?"
"Two days ago, I accidentally ran into a few big monkeys, slaughtered them, and found their nest with some clues." Thrall stretched, as if he had just said something inconsequential.
But Ani, who heard this, couldn't be calm anymore, and hurriedly asked, "What??" You've found ...... What do you see??? ”
As she spoke, she couldn't take a few steps forward on her own, grabbed Sal's shoulders with both hands, and shouted with a flushed face, "Tell me! What do you see!? What do you know? What did you do?!? ”
"These words should be asked of you!"
Shaken by her hands, Sal's face finally sank slowly, and he raised his hand and opened his hands fiercely and shouted: "Even if you can transform into a giant, you are still human at heart!" Now you want to lurk in and slaughter your own people, and even try to cut off the hope of mankind, who are you inspiring to? What's in it for you!? Now, tell me everything you know! Don't hide a thing! ”
"Delusion! Are you deaf? I said, don't want to get ...... from me."
Arnie shouted excitedly, but before she could finish speaking, she felt her throat tighten, and after a trance of the object in front of her, she was actually pinned against the wall by Sal's neck!
"I'm asking you these things now to give you a chance! Don't be ignorant and force me to kill you! Did you know that, as long as I guessed correctly, the people of your so-called 'homeland' have now become the rations of those ape-giants? ”
Hearing this, Ani, who was carried by the neck and hanging in the air, became even more flustered, dancing with her hands and feet, but Sal's strength was too great, and she couldn't move the big hand embedded in her neck even a little bit, and could only let out a "ho" from her throat...... Ho".
Without paying much attention, Sal continued, "I don't care what your troubles are, but as long as you don't want me to slaughter all the people inside after I find your 'hometown', tell me everything you know!" ”
With that, he finally let go of Arnie's hand, which still fell to the floor, and added, "Oh, maybe you don't have to wait for me to make a move, and those ape giants should eat those people clean." ”
"Ahem...... Ahem, ahem! ”
Ani coughed vigorously, tears grooming from the corners of her eyes, and looked up at Thrall with a responsible expression, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
Seeing him like this, Sal sighed.
Originally, she didn't want to waste her energy points in this matter, but if she didn't do it, then she could only use electricity in an extraordinary way...... For example, when I was exchanging skills before, I saw a 'truth spitting' from the movie 'Harry Potter' and secretly wrote it down, but it was still a bit expensive for a surname item, requiring 1000 energy points.
"It seems...... I don't really have what it takes to be a fighter......"
When Sal was about to knock her unconscious and then exchange for the 'Truth Elixir' to pour it on her, Arnie suddenly spoke, only to see her raise her pretty face and say with a sparkling look in her eyes, "You have to promise...... Guarantee...... You will save the lives of our 'hometown' people! ”
