Chapter 19: The Spirit of the Sword (I)
Therefore, according to the old legend: jīng spirit is everywhere.
Wherever there is a mediator system, there is a jīng spirit, a house has a house jīng spirit, a tree has a tree jīng spirit, and a stone has a stone jīng spirit. Even if there are some man-made items, there will be corresponding jīng spirits, such as swords, will the sword have-

The density of the taiga forest is getting bigger and bigger, and the huge trees hugging one or even several people are towering into the sky, and the scenery in the forest is getting darker and darker, and even at noon in the middle of summer, you can still feel the damp and cold breath of the ice and snow forest that cannot be dissipated all year round.
According to the magic map sent by the mission, this is still a day's journey away from the location of the mission, and the location on the map indicates that there should be the last inn near this before entering the forest.
Daqingshan looked up and tried to see the position of the sun through the top of the tree, to identify the time, but when he saw the dense foliage, he couldn't help but sigh - what can he do? In the wilderness, the sun is still floating in the air at 5 o'clock, and in the forest, it is already dark at 4 o'clock, and it is necessary to camp at 5 o'clock. You still need to hurry up, otherwise you will have to camp again today.
The two men quickened their pace.
It was getting darker and darker, and just as Daqingshan and Amy were about to give up moving forward, a faint light leaked through the gap in the forest trees.
Relying on the guidance of the lights, Amy and Daqingshan finally knocked on the door of the Traveler's Residence before dinner.
Compared with the cold outside, the hot and warm atmosphere in the house is undoubtedly the biggest reason why countless travelers take a detour to stay overnight.
The inn is not very big, there is a small courtyard in the back, separated by a hotel, in front of which is the largest room in the area - the lobby, Amy and Daqingshan put their luggage, and the bartender came to the lobby together, there are more than 10 tables in the lobby, it is already full of people, it can be seen, most of them are mercenaries.
Due to the late arrival, Amy and Daqingshan suffered a very high return rate. The protruding mage's rank symbols on swords, shields, and clothes undoubtedly indicate identity.
"Hey, new kid. While Amy and Da Qingshan were looking for a seat, a loud shout came from the right side of the room: "Are you passing by? or have you taken the task? Is it the mission of the double SS?" Everyone looked at the corner, and there were several mercenaries sitting around a table, undoubtedly all of them warriors, each with battle axes of different sizes beside them, and some people even had two battle axes next to them. Unlike ordinary tomahawk warriors, they are not wearing heavy armor all over their bodies, even in the frozen continent, their left shoulder is exposed ** shoulder, if there is no mistake in judgment, there is no doubt that these people are berserkers - it is one of the big berserkers who spoke out, more than 2 meters tall.
"Well, it's here to complete that double SS mission. The honest Daqingshan saw that the person was asking himself, and he answered without thinking about it.
"Haha, you two little hairy boys, what level, which mercenary regiment reserve are you, right?" the big man looked contemptuous.
"Ha, this big brother said it well, said it in seconds, thank you big brother for the compliment. Amy looked at the big man who looked like she was determined to eat herself, and she was afraid that Da Qingshan would be too honest and suffer, so she hurriedly took it.
"When did I compliment you?" the big berserker apparently couldn't understand Chi's humor.
"Ha, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, and you praise us for being small, of course you mean that we are young heroes. Amy looked serious: "Actually, you don't have to be so polite, we are just two little mercenaries, really little mercenaries." ”
The big berserker was foaming at the mouth, and the stars flew around: "What is your level?!, you two little hairy children, don't you want to rely on us to complete the task and share the money without helping, right?"
"Hehe, how do you say it, although we are little mercenaries, but as young heroes, we are future hope superstars, and our level is very objective. ”
"Objective, what's objective? D, E, F at most, right?" the berserker was frightened.
"Ha, do you think D, E, and F grades are very powerful?"
"Hmm...... You're not already C-rank, are you? so small?" Legend has it that berserkers are an absolutely simple-minded race.
"Haha, it's really smart" Amy watched the Berserker show a proud expression in the praise, and gave him another surprise that was used to xìng: "Sorry, you still guessed wrong." ”
"Are you B-class?" the berserker's eyes already showed the respect he deserved for a B-class mercenary.
"Cut, is B-grade great?" Amy looked disdainful.
"You...... Are you A-class?" In the face of the rare A-class mercenaries, no one can ignore them.
"Could it be that the mercenary industry is only a grade?" Amy said with a look up and a glance at the big mercenary who was a head taller than him.
"What?" the big man and a few of his berserker companions all stood up, "Could it be the legendary S-class senior?" The eyes of the other people at the room lit up.
"Hah, that's pretty much it. Amy nodded in satisfaction.
In another corner of the room, a huge palm slapped heavily on the table: "Young people don't overdo it when you joke, there are only 6 S-class mercenaries now, all of whom are over 50 years old." An old dwarf with a full beard squatted in a chair with a very solemn face.
"Ha, we must have a misunderstanding, this old man, did I say that I am S-class?" Amy looked innocent: "I mean 'almost' Oh, S is the first in the mercenary level, and my companion and I have the same meaning - G-class, which is the last one." ”
"Teasing me, boy, you go and die. "No one dares to joke with Berserkers, especially with Berserkers. The big mercenary Cāo raised the knight-long battle axe that was nearly 4 meters in his hand, and several berserkers behind him also put their hands on the handle of the axe.
"Rest, everybody. A very pleasant baritone voice came from another table, and a man dressed in white stood up and beckoned to Amy and Daqingshan: "There are no other tables, two sword-wielding children come and sit here." ”
There were 5 men sitting at the table of the man in white, all dressed in white, surrounded by long swords, some one-handed swords hanging from their waists, and some two-handed swords on their backs. The man who spoke at the head was very kind, of medium height, and leaned casually on the edge of the table with a big sword in both hands, and no one thought he was special at first sight, "like a scholar or a nobleman!"
The berserker in the rage ignored any threat, everyone in the room was very nervous, and the waiter of the Traveler's House also cowered behind the counter and did not dare to come out to reconcile the conflict.
Although the space of the Traveler's Dwelling was short, the angry berserker skillfully slashed the battle axe twice in the void, and a small whirlwind blew on the flat ground: "Whoever insults me will die!" With a wild throat, his body slammed up diagonally, and with both hands wielding a huge axe blade, he slashed at Amy.
It's the second time I've fought the Berserker, and Amy isn't in a hurry at all, this time she won't still win the lottery, and she will meet a high-level berserker who will mirror four times, right?
"Whoa—" A huge sword reached out from the side, blocking the front of the axe's slash, and the multiple axe shadows disappeared instantly.
The big berserker felt that he was angry with a little hairy child, and when he saw this white-clothed swordsman repeatedly coming out to pick up, he immediately transferred his anger. "Uncle don't get angry, boy treats the tiger as a sick cat, you won't see the sun tomorrow again! ”
Just like a giant bear in hibernation that is constantly disturbed, the berserker's eyes turned from black to white in a rage, and the whites of Bai Sè's eyes were full of bloodshot "Ah-", the long battle axe pulled back slightly, and immediately slashed and slashed back with frenzy. The long sword of the man in white also flew up and down with the tomahawk at an unimaginable speed, like the shadow of a tomahawk, pressing the space where the tomahawk was wielding, blocking the tomahawk at the moment when the tomahawk had just started to slash, which could cause huge lethality—at the moment when the naked eye was arguing, ......the huge axe blade and the long sword sounded four times in a row.
"The brothers came up and divided him into eight pieces. The berserker, unable to wield the power of the tomahawk, roared. In the back, three berserkers swarmed up with four huge hand axes.
Four tall berserkers surrounded the white-clothed swordsman, there is no doubt that the four berserkers were partners who had been working together for a long time, without any consultation, in the small space, the five giant axes of different shapes in the swing did not collide in any way, the huge axes or cut or chop or chop or stab with the axe handle, the smooth axe blades of blood, black and silver sè were against the flickering candlelight, drawing a heavy axe shadow, and the air in the oppression let out a piercing scream.
The tomahawk slashed, the candlelight flickered and dimmed, and in the shadow of the axe like the surging sea, the man in white of medium stature was like a boat on the crest of the wave being pushed by the axe wave, and he was in danger of being destroyed in an instant.
In the crisis, Amy held the "Ice Blade" in both hands, and the long sword slashed a white sè lightning bolt and rushed towards the big berserker mercenary; Daqingshan also pulled out the black sè saber, raised the battle shield and directly charged at a two-handed axe berserker, and the long sword stabbed straight out from under the shield.
Two golden sword qi suddenly appeared in front of Amy and Da Qingshan's attacks, and they spun and flickered, intercepting Da Qingshan and Amy's attacks. After the sword qi dissipated, another man in white appeared with a smile: "He can cope with it without your help." ”
There was a sudden change in the battle group, the long sword of the white-clothed swordsman suddenly shook violently, and the long sword of Bai Sè burst into a blue sè light, poking its head out of the blade of the long sword like a spirit snake, and an invisible sword of blue sè remained in the air like a sword trace...... One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...... In an instant, eight sword qi emerged from the side of the man in white, intercepting the tangible axe with an invisible sword.
"Huh-" The two-handed axe warrior was the first to be attacked by Lan Sè's sword qi, and his left and right hands were hit, and blood immediately gushed out from the arm holding the battle axe, and the left hand was obviously unable to support it, and the battle axe fell to the ground.
"Hehe, it's worthy of being a berserker," the old dwarf on the side spoke again, "When I took on the double S mission, I also dared to challenge the A-level white-clothed Ah Feng, who ranked 73rd on the mercenary 'Battle Spirit List'." The dwarf's rare harsh words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of several berserkers, quickly reducing the hostility in the air.
