The skeleton of a person after death is eroded by changes in the environment.

Such as decalcification, weathering, etc.

Its color and bone will vary.

As long as you compare them one by one, you can guess the time of death.

It's the science.

In the eyes of the psykers, they can be replaced by spells.

After Aoi Hoshino gave the order, the middle-aged shrine maiden stepped forward.

After a fluctuation of spiritual energy, she said in a surprised tone, "Dead for nearly a thousand years. ”

This also means that it wasn't someone who got to the ruins before they did.

The corpses on the ground were part of the ruins.

"I really don't know what happened before?"

The middle-aged shrine maiden said as she observed.

She pulled out a pair of gloves and put them on, and then reached out and touched the armor on the outside of the corpse.

There is no reaction and no traps.

She was pretty much sure that the bodies were dead here, not that they had been placed on purpose.

"It's a fourth-order spirit tool."

The middle-aged shrine maiden said after checking it out.

"Put the spirit equipment away."

Hoshino Aoi nodded slightly and said, "Then bury the corpse on the spot." ”

Seven fourth-order spirit tools, which can be eroded for thousands of years, are obviously worth a lot.

And this is just the beginning, what can be behind it, you can imagine.

The middle-aged shrine maiden commanded several people to step forward.

When the armor was removed, there were only seven dry bones left, nothing special.

They dug a pit nearby and buried it.

Hoshino Aoi ignored it, and she came to the stone gate.

From the outside, it is exactly the same as the previous stone gate.

She thought about it and repeated the same incantation.

As the psionic energy flashed, a pattern appeared on it.

In the middle is still the sun sign.

But there were more snakes all around.

"Snakes?"

Rin Hoshino thought for a moment and said, "The only snake that can be so bold is the legendary Ibukiyama Daimyojin." ”

The great god of Ibukiyama, that is, the Yaki Orochi.

As shrine maidens, they have always been called by the name of the gods, and they maintain a reverence for the gods.

Haruhiko wasn't surprised.

This is the tomb of the Yaki Orochi.

Coupled with the appearance of Amaterasu, he suspected that this place was one of the original battlefields.

Haruhiko had thought that the disappearance of the gods and the death of the Yaki Orochi were probably related.

Now it seems that it is indeed true.

"Perhaps."

Hoshino Aoi agrees with Rin Hoshino's guess.

It's just that there is no evidence and it can't be determined.

She raised her hand, as before, in the same way.

Flames flew out, and the sun symbol became brilliant.

But the door didn't open.

Because the snake with its head and tail unfolded its body, it was like a baffle, obscuring the light of the sun.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

He discovered that the sun and the snake together were two words.

Of course, it is not an ordinary word, but a word in the language of the snake god.

"Punish the gods?"

Haruhiko's lips moved subconsciously.

But there was no sound.

At this moment, the snake suddenly shook and disappeared directly.

The stone door is opened.

Hoshino Aoi's face showed a slight shock.

In her perception, the snake was actually a seal, sealing the key to Amaterasu.

Before she was still having a headache, how to open.

I didn't expect such a strange change to occur in the blink of an eye.

Haruhiko's eyes narrowed.

Obviously, the word "Zhushen" is a password.

I have to say, it's a bit of a mistake.

But one way or another, the goal has been achieved.

Behind the stone gate is no longer an abyss, but an underground cavity.

There are no buildings, just hollowed-out caves.

It's just that the scope is very wide, and there is no end in sight.

This is obviously not normal.

Because it's already bigger than the mountain itself.

"It's the effect of the space spell."

Hoshino Aoi felt a wave in the darkness and spoke.

She stepped forward and stepped inside the door, the scenery changing in front of her.

The previously unremarkable cave seems to have come to life, forming a palace with ruined walls.

And the most eye-catching thing is the snake in the depths.

It froze in the air, and the massive snake head looked at her with an indescribable sense of oppression.

Hoshino Aoi subconsciously clenched the Kagura bell.

But it soon became clear that it was not a living thing.

It is a decoration composed of psionic energy.

"Come in."

Hoshino Aoi said after confirming.

Haruhiko and the others stepped into the door, all showing incredible expressions.

After all, from the outside, it is so ordinary, I didn't expect it to be inside.

"It's not really a snake, but don't let your guard down."

Hoshino Aoi reminded.

"Yes!"

The rest of the people immediately replied.

But I was relieved.

If the snake is a living creature, then the danger goes without saying.

"Now the soldiers are divided into two ways and explore."

Hoshino Aoi looked around, but she couldn't see the end, it was bigger than she had imagined.

Even if it is divided into two teams, it will take ten days and half a month to complete the exploration.

"Hotaru, you and Ximinjiang are on the same team."

Hoshino Aoi thought for a moment and said.

Xi Minjiang is the middle-aged witch before, more precisely, the fourth-order priest.

In Izumo Shrine, it is a psionic person second only to Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Hotaru.

Hoshino Hotaru is also a fourth-order, but because of the twin inheritance and various spirit tools, it is more powerful than Ximinjiang.

In comparison, Rin Hoshino is a little worse.

After all, she couldn't cultivate anytime and anywhere.

In addition to going to school, you also have to learn how to manage the shrine.

However, because of the twin inheritance, it won't take long for her to be promoted to the fourth rank.

"Yes."

Xi Minjiang hurriedly replied.

Hoshino nodded.

"Hotaru, you choose thirteen people, start from the left, and finally meet us under the shadow of the snake."

Hoshino Aoi pointed to the depths and said.

Hoshino Hotaru raised his head and casually nodded to thirteen people, including Haruhiko.

Rin Hoshino wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

She had thought of leaving Haruhiko behind, after all, it was safer to stay by Aoi Hoshino's side.

It's just that on second thought, it's not good to say this kind of thing.

Haruhiko thinks it's good.

Following Hoshino Hotaru makes it easier to grab monsters.

And she never asked.

The group was divided into two groups.

Exactly fifteen people each.

Haruhiko walked and looked around.

There are dilapidated houses everywhere.

Because it was too obvious, they didn't come forward and waste their time.

It can be seen that this place was once inhabited.

Haruhiko remembered the mermaid ruins that he had gone to with Chiyonu before, but they were somewhat similar.

A moment later, there was a discovery.

To their right, there is a well-preserved house.

And it's several times larger than what was seen before.

"Be careful."

As soon as he got closer, Ximinjiang felt a strong spiritual energy fluctuation.

The rest of the people were wary when they heard this.

Arriving at the door, Ximinjiang raised his hand and waved, and the spiritual energy slammed open the door.

A variety of forging tools that catch your eye.

There is no doubt that it was once a blacksmith's shop.

At this moment, a cold aura poured out.

The air is distorted.

The figure of the Dao Dao slowly condensed.

They wore only trousers, armed with hammers, and were all dressed as blacksmiths.

Before the millennium, science and technology were not developed, and forging spiritual tools was a traditional means.

Their identities speak for themselves.

Their identities speak for themselves.

But now they are all evil spirits.

Since it is an evil spirit, then it is an unnatural death.

Haruhiko didn't know what had happened before, but he knew that his experience had come.

"Prepare for battle."

Xi Minjiang opened his mouth to remind.

It is unreasonable for evil spirits.

The only way to do it is to send them to Huangquan to be reincarnated.

Haruhiko began to chant the incantation.

Prophetic Word: Beginning.

Consumes 1,000 psionic energy, causing him to spend two seconds less casting spells for the next minute.

He didn't use the more effective one of the Divine Words, as it would cost him 10,000 psionic powers.

It is worth mentioning that Jianhao's swordsmanship is also a spell, in other words, it can also eat the effect.

The spirits rushed over.

Haruhiko took out a stack of fire dragon talismans and threw them out.

The temperature suddenly rose sharply.

The psionic energy exploded, and I saw ten huge fire dragons roaring out.

Ten third-order spells in one go.

Many witches looked at Haruhiko in surprise.

Charms, though cheaper than spirit tools, are still very expensive.

Unless it's family support, ordinary psionics wouldn't waste it so casually.

But they're happy to see it happen.

After all, after such an explosion, the evil spirits have been affected a lot.

After coming back to their senses, they all took action.

Haruhiko didn't have time to watch, for fear that they would steal people's heads.

He continued to throw the charm.

After a round of bombardment, the evil spirits were killed and wounded.

But there are a few who survived.

There are six of them in total, all of them of the fourth order.

However, there are only five fourth-order shrine maidens.

Among them are Ximinjiang and Hoshino Hoshino.

Haruhiko took out the red luan.

Five fourth-order were brought under control.

The rest of the one, surrounded by the third order, looked extraordinarily brave.

Red Luan Star Moves!

The sword in Haruhiko's hand immediately poured out flames.

In a dimly lit environment, it looks very dazzling.

The evil spirit immediately noticed him and ran after him.

"I'm here to get his attention."

Haruhiko spoke.

The witches are all long-range output, and in terms of flexibility, they are naturally not as good as the sword heroes.

After he finished speaking, the rest of the people also came to their senses and began to assist.

I saw that the golden spiritual energy turned into chains and rushed towards the evil spirit, causing him to freeze in place.

Seeing this, Haruhiko immediately rushed forward.

Sword Hero: Shadow Dance!

His body turned into a shadow that was indiscernible to the naked eye.

After approaching the evil spirit, countless sword lights poured out.

It looks like a random dance, but it's actually quite regular.

The struggling evil spirit, sensing the danger, shook its body and shattered the chains.

He lifted the hammer and fell, a fierce psionic energy extending from the hammer to his arm.

In an instant, he seemed to be a god descending from heaven.

When the bang.

The tremendous force forced Haruhiko to retreat.

But it is also a fourth-order spell, and the evil spirit is not comfortable.

And he still rushed to meet the battle, so he fell directly to the ground.

Seeing this, the shrine maidens attacked one after another.

Arrows of different colors fall from the sky.

All of them are third-order spells.

Although the evil spirit reacted in time, it also had several hits, which made him extremely angry.

He stood up, the hammer in his hand flying out like lightning.

The target is the shrine maidens not far away.

Because of the high speed, there was a pop in the air.

There were several young shrine maidens whose faces turned pale.

They are only the third order, and in the face of the attack of the fourth order of psionic abilities, they can only rely on spirit tools or charms to fight back.

But being able to fight back may not necessarily have an effect.

After all, psionics like Haruhiko who can learn fourth-order spells with the third order and possess a lot of fifth-order spiritual tools are only a minority after all.

Even if they survive, they will have to pay a price.

Fortunately, Haruhiko was not idle.

Taking advantage of the time just now, the new spell has been prepared.

Sword Hero: Rift Blade!

His newly mastered fourth-order spell.

As the name suggests, it acts on the opponent's spiritual equipment.

If the strength is not enough, it will be torn.

In the first week, Hurricane often won with this move.

Of course, at that time, he was holding a famous knife.

Now Haruhiko only has a handful of red luan.

As for Izumi Morikata, although the fragments have been collected, recasting is not that simple.

He handed it over to Tsuchigomon Mari, and he wasn't sure when it would be repaired.

But Hongluan is not bad.

Haruhiko thinks it's at least more precious than the hammer in the hands of the evil spirit.

Because this is tailor-made by the fifth-order demon.

And it can also be upgraded.

This means that the material is not only of the third order.

Haruhiko's body appeared in front of the shrine maidens.

He held a knife in both hands and slashed it from above.

The psionic energy turned into a surging air current, and the air was distorted as it vibrated and vibrated as it shook.

In the next second, a deafening voice sounded.

Even Hoshino Hotaru and Nishiminjiang and others, who were fighting, looked over.

The hammer and the red luan seemed to stop time, frozen in mid-air.

Smack.

Debris falls.

And behold, the hammer was shattered.

Evil spirits only have bodies that are spirits, and weapons that are real.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

Sure enough, the red luan material is better.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he continued to attack.

The evil spirit was stunned when he saw his hammer destroyed, followed by anger.

He leapt to his feet and slammed his fists down.

Swordsman: Serial Slash!

Haruhiko's face did not change, and he quickly retreated half a step back, and then slashed out seven more knives.

As soon as he touched the fist, a huge force struck.

Fortunately, Haruhiko opened up the distance and had room for buffering.

But suddenly, a golden light appeared in his body, and a powerful force was born out of thin air.

It's a support spell.

And there is not just one, it is five.

There was no doubt that it was the shrine maidens behind him who reacted.

There are two branches of shrine maidens, one with a kagura bell and the other with a bow and arrow.

The former is a ranged magic class, and naturally there are a lot of support spells in it.

Haruhiko stood firm.

Seven consecutive slashes instantly landed on the fists of the evil spirit.

Psionic energy stirred, and stiffness appeared.

Streamer chasing the wind!

Haruhiko immediately activated Hongluan's own skills.

His body was like the wind, he disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the evil spirit.

Facing the evil spirit that didn't react at all, Haruhiko slashed it with a knife.

The previous Red Luan Star Enchantment effect has always been there.

At this time, he stabbed the evil spirit with a knife.

Because it was a spirit body, no blood flowed out.

But the damage is real.

The evil spirit fell directly to the ground.

Haruhiko threw out three Fire Dragon Talismans again as a mending knife.

Under the calcination of the flames, he received a game tone.

With the addition of the previous evil spirits, he gained a total of 1,240 points.

Haruhiko let out a sigh.

Look at the other five battlefields.

Hoshino Hotaru is faster than him, and has already solved a fourth-order.

She is now helping Westminster with the second one.

Seeing this, Haruhiko knew that he was not good at stealing people's heads, but it was not a big problem to mix up an assist.

He took out the Fire Dragon Talisman again.

The sound of the wind swishing sounded.

The four flew towards the four fourth-order evil spirits.

The shrine maidens only thought that he wanted to help, and they didn't care.
