Chapter 8: The Coming Water Column
The improvement of the physique brought about by the upgrade has restored a trace of vitality to Senjuro's body that is on the verge of the limit.
He gasped softly and struggled to get up from the ground with the Sunset Knife.
Looking at the hand ghost in front of him that turned into ashes, Senjuro was speechless.
Killing the evil ghost did not make him feel the slightest sense of physical disgust, on the contrary, his mood was extremely comfortable!
Among them, there is not only the fact that the appearance of hand ghosts and humans is too different, but also a sense of joy that he has the ability to save others.
Perhaps, I was not born to be an ordinary person.
Quietly watching the black ash turned into a hand ghost pass away with the wind, Senjuro sighed.
At this time, a prompt from the system popped up in front of his eyes.
"Discover the ...... of soul energy escaping from the air"
"Trait [Ghost Hunter] activates ......"
"Soul energy absorption...... Congratulations, you have received the following buffs: Strength +1.5, Stamina +1.5! ”
"Current attributes: Strength 14, Stamina 14, Agility 14.5, Spirit 12.5."
"This ......"
The sudden system prompt made Chijuro stunned, and then understood.
It seems that the class trait [Ghost Hunting] has taken effect.
It's just that the effect is a little too strong.
The soul energy of just one ghost thing allowed him to obtain a physical attribute comparable to a level increase of one and a half levels!
A real sense of power came to his heart, making Chijurou eager to hunt other ghosts immediately.
However, the double feeling of physical and mental exhaustion made him sober up.
It's just an ordinary hand ghost, so he took the risk of being injured and exhausting his physical strength before he could be killed with difficulty.
Although his strength has improved a lot now, what if he encounters a demon that is far more powerful than a hand ghost?
Thinking of this, he pressed his impatient heart, sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate and recover his body.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Soft, long breaths from his nose.
As a transcendent force, of course, the breathing method is not only effective in increasing physical energy, as long as you breathe in a specific rhythm, it can have the effect of speeding up physical recovery.
This is another use of the breathing method, and it is also a special technique that Senjuro only learned when [Breath of Fire] was promoted to the specialization level.
Of course, there are gains and losses, and at the cost, a lot of food needs to be consumed.
Five minutes later, Senjuro, who had regained some stamina, stood up.
"That, sir...... Are you alright? ”
Seeing that Qianjuro's face had regained its ruddy complexion, Tetsuji Toyama on the side asked with concern.
In this world where evil spirits are rampant, the idea of respecting the strong has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The young man in front of him is much stronger than them, even if he is still young, it is not an exaggeration to call him an adult.
After the battle was over and it was confirmed that the hand ghost was dead, the two were shocked, and they hurriedly brought Kumada Taro to his side, but at that time he was recovering with his eyes closed and his knees crossed, seeing this, the two did not dare to disturb, and began to silently guard the surroundings, and now that they saw Chijuro open his eyes, he couldn't wait to open his mouth and care.
Not to mention that the three of them had spoken ill of the young strong man in front of them before, they said that they had just saved Kumada Taro's life, and the two of them were very grateful to him.
"It's fine."
Looking at the two with completely different attitudes, Senjuro shook his head and didn't care too much.
After all, those who don't know are not to blame, they didn't do anything wrong, they just persuaded him to leave in a bad tone, and they also helped him find an evil ghost, which can be regarded as "offsetting the merits".
"By the way, do you know what's going on here?" Looking at the two people in front of him, Chijuro's heart moved, and he asked about the reason for the appearance of ghosts here.
Although he followed the system's prompts to kill the demons, there was no reason for the appearance of the demons in the mission description, and he was still very curious about it.
"You don't know?" Kiyoisuke Yamada asked suspiciously, and then reacted, thinking that Chijuro was a strong man of the ghost killing team who happened to pass by, and immediately explained:
"That's right, because of an accidental lightning strike wood fire, there is a huge gap in the wisteria forest where the evil ghosts are imprisoned in the vine attack mountain, and the evil ghosts who have been imprisoned here for decades as a training train for joining the team have fled."
"You also know that even if it is us, it takes a great risk to kill evil spirits, let alone ordinary people. If such a large number of evil spirits were allowed to wander into villages and towns, I don't know how many families would be destroyed......"
Speaking of this, a look of hatred flashed in Yamada's eyes.
"These evil ghosts should all be cut with a thousand knives!"
Every ghost slayer member, if it weren't for the reason of necessity, who would risk their lives to kill the evil spirit?
Thinking of this, Senjuro couldn't help but fall silent.
"I'm sorry, my lord, I lost my temper." Seiichisuke Yamada calmed down his emotions and continued: "Therefore, this time the escape mission of the ghosts of the vine attack mountain, we must not let go of a demon, this is an order issued by the Lord, and it is also our responsibility. ”
"By the way, my lord......" At this time, Tetsuji Toyama on the side asked cautiously: "The leader of this large-scale mission is Purgatory-sama Kyojuro, do you want to meet him?" ”
The young man in front of him has a hairstyle and breathing method similar to that of the purgatory-adult, maybe, no, it is safe to say that they are related.
"Kyojuro?" Hearing this, Senjuro's face was delicate.
He knew that the eldest brother and Ganlu Temple had left home to carry out their mission, but he didn't expect that they would also come here by such a coincidence.
After pondering for a moment, Qianjuro shook his head: "Don't rush first, I still have important things to do, I'll go to him later." Please also help me keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else that I'm here. ”
"Yes!" ×2
"Well, I've got to take a step ahead."
Nodding at the two, Senjuro strode towards Fuji Yamauchi.
When his figure disappeared, Tetsuji Toyama sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that the strength of an adult at such a young age was already so terrifying, and even such a terrifying ghost was beheaded by his sword." Fortunately, the adults have a good temper and didn't bother with us, otherwise ......"
Thinking of this, he shrank back with some fear.
Although the ghost killing team explicitly forbids the team members to kill each other, encountering a strong man with a bad temper in this kind of wilderness, according to what they have done before, although it will not be in danger of their lives, but a lesson will definitely be inevitable.
"Yes......" Kiyoicsuke Yamada on the side also sighed, but while feeling lucky, he couldn't help but have some doubts: "It's strange, although I don't know all about the famous powerhouses in the ghost killing team, I still have a little impression, not to mention that the characteristics of adults are so distinct, it stands to reason that I should have heard of ......"
"Don't overthink it." Tetsuji Toyama shook his head: "We know too little about too many things in the team, as long as we do our job well and kill the evil ghosts." ”
"That's right." With a chuckle, Kiyoichisuke Yamada was no longer entangled, and together with Tetsuji Toyama, he carried Taro Kumada and rushed in the direction where the medical unit was.
……
Five kilometers outside the vine attack mountain, a strangely dressed swordsman stopped.
He is dressed in a two-tone feather weave, with a yellow and green lattice pattern on the left and a pure dark red on the right.
Water column, Tomioka is brave!
Looking at the vine attack mountain not far away, he said softly: "Finally, it's here." ”
