Chapter 257: Teng Snake
Haruhiko really didn't expect that there was a fifth-order demon in the ruins.
He was very glad to have brought Tsuchigomon Mari and Tugomon Mahaku.
If it's just the Utsunomiya clan, maybe it will be all wiped out, and it will be a waste of his hard work.
"Does this fifth-order demon prove that this relic is related to Abe Harumi?"
Haruhiko asked.
Haruaki Abe as the most powerful onmyoji in history.
The style god is naturally the fifth order.
Haruhiko had heard in the first week that he had a Shikijin called the Tenser.
In front of me, there are a huge number of snakes, maybe it is it.
"It's Teng Snake."
Tsuchigomon Mayaku suddenly said with some excitement.
As a descendant of Abe Harumi, she also knows a little about his Shikami.
The only pity is that his Shikigami has not been handed down.
The reason is simple.
The descendants are not strong enough.
Abe Harumi's Shikijin is a fifth-order demon.
Ordinary fifth-order psionics are completely disdainful.
Unless it's a strong man like Abe Haruaki.
But such a person is rare to appear in a thousand years.
The Shikigami eventually left the Abe clan, or the Tsuchigomon clan.
Teng Snake, in the legend of Dongying, is a snake with wings and has great strength.
"Shall we go find it now?"
Haruhiko asked, looking at Kawasaki in the middle of the battle.
Naturally, he had no intention of rescuing.
On the contrary, there is a desire to take advantage of the fire to rob.
But only when they are exhausted.
On top of that, you have to deal with this group of snakes.
"I determined its location based on psionic strength."
Tuyumen Zhenbai paused, and said suspiciously, "But as a fifth-order demon, why is it so conspicuous?" He does not hide his deeds in the slightest. ”
"Maybe it's because of your personality."
Tuyumen Mari said casually, "Some big demons are more arrogant, thinking that with their own strength, there is no need to hide. ”
"When you see it, you will know it."
Tsuchigomon Mahaku didn't say anything more.
She turned and walked to the left of the plain.
The plains are not inhospitable, and green plants can be seen from time to time.
It's a pity that all of them are ordinary plants, and there is no so-called natural treasure.
Haruhiko secretly complained that it was Abe Harumi, why wasn't he rich at all?
But soon, he realized that he was talking too soon.
After walking for a few minutes, a forest appeared in front of them.
Before they could make a move, they heard a whistling sound.
The forest rattled, and then a dark shadow emerged.
Like a torrential rain, it fell from the sky.
Haruhiko looked carefully, it was the snakes.
But unlike the outside, they have wings on their backs.
Without saying a word, Tsuchigomon Mari raised his hand and waved.
The flames rose into the air, and in an instant, a sea of fire formed in front of them.
Haruhiko reacted one step slower, and was robbed.
Still, he tried to throw out a few fiery dragon talismans.
In the flames, the spell was torn apart.
Psionic energy poured out and turned into several dragons.
With the help of the sea of fire created by the earth and the earth and the mana, they are larger than usual.
When they appeared in the air, they ran away with the snakes.
Tsuchigomon Mari glanced at Haruhiko.
In her memory, it was not the first time he had robbed a monster.
Although she couldn't quite understand it, she still slightly suppressed the flames, allowing Haruhiko's fire dragon to hit the target.
The game prompt sounds.
Haruhiko was slightly stunned.
That's 1,200 points in total.
If it weren't for the wrong place, he would definitely repay the Tsuchigomon Mari.
Haruhiko continued to throw spells, just like he didn't want money.
After a few minutes, the snakes were all wiped out.
A third of the forest in front of you will also be burned, and smoke will be emitted.
"Follow me."
Tsuchigomon Mahaku said.
In the battle just now, only Tsuchigomon Mari and Haruhiko made a move.
The rest of the people stood there and watched.
The reason is simple.
Tsuchigomon Mari can do it alone.
They don't have game plug-ins, so there's no point in fighting monsters, but it will waste spiritual energy.
To be honest, in their eyes, they feel that Haruhiko is idle and boring, and the money is capricious.
After all, the price of a third-order spell is still quite high.
Led by Tsuchigomon Mahaku, they continued on their way and gradually came to the depths of the forest.
At this time, the fog rises.
What followed was the shaking of the earth.
In the blink of an eye, a bottomless crack appeared.
"It's in there."
Surprised, Tsuchigomon Mashiro said, "Is it welcoming us?" ”
"Welcome?"
Tsuchigomon Mari smiled and said, "That scene just now was not a welcome. ”
"You stay on it, and I'll go down with Mamato."
After thinking for a moment to no avail, Tsuchigomon said.
"I'll go too."
Haruhiko will definitely not let go of this opportunity to join in the fun.
"There is a fifth-order demon below, the situation is unknown, it is too dangerous for you to go."
Tsuchigomon glared at him and said, "You stay here obediently." ”
She didn't hide her concern for Haruhiko at all.
Utsunomiya Mina and Utsunomiya Minami have known for a long time and are very accustomed to it.
But the rest, many of them are seeing each other for the first time.
They finally understood why Haruhiko was the head of the Utsunomiya clan.
"Nothing dangerous."
Haruhiko raised her hand slightly and said, "I have the ring that Sister Mari gave." ”
Tsuchigomon grinds his teeth.
This sentence made her even more annoyed.
Haruhiko seemed to be talking about how good his relationship with Tsuchigomon Mari was.
Although he didn't mean it.
"Let's go together, then."
Tsuchigomon Masari smiled lightly and said, "I can still protect him." ”
“……”
Tuyumen Zhenbai bit his lip angrily, didn't say anything more, and jumped directly into the gap.
Tsuchigomon Mari stretched out her hand and shook Haruhiko.
Psionic shrouded.
The two of them slowly sank.
From the light to the dark, Haruhiko was a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the psionic shield outside has a faint glow, so it is not completely dark.
"It's so rich."
Haruhiko reacted and couldn't help but say.
The further down he went, the more psionic energy he had, so dense that he returned to the ruins of Takamagahara.
However, it is slightly inferior to the relics of the main gods of the great powers.
It is roughly equivalent to the appearance of the second layer of the Takamagahara Ruins.
Haruhiko didn't take out his mask and put it on.
At the bottom, he looked around.
Like a valley split by a sword, it is quite desolate.
But the ground was full of bones.
Not human, but all sorts of youkai.
"What's going on here?"
Tsuchigomon Mahaku frowned slightly and asked.
The current situation is very much like a monster war.
As for the cause and effect, there is no way to know.
"Look over there."
Tsuchigomon Mari sniffed and said, "I smell a familiar smell. ”
Haruhiko looked in the direction he was pointing, and it was a deep pool.
In the dim environment, it seems to be ink, so thick that it cannot be dispersed, and it is black.
When you get closer, it's even darker, and you can't see the bottom of the pool at all.
Tsuchigomon Mari crouched down and stretched out her fingers.
A bright yellow glow appears.
The outer layer of her finger skin burned like a flame.
The water of the pool reflects the flames, like a mirror.
When Tsuchigomon's fingers touched the water, the flames immediately extinguished, and it suddenly became dark again.
She was slightly stunned, and four words came to her mind.
"Chalcedony aura."
Tsuchigomon Mashiro got up and explained, "Fourth-order psionic materials have a great promoting effect on youkai. If you use it at an advanced level, you can increase the success rate. ”
"It's all this?"
Tsuchigomon Mahaku was stunned and asked.
"All of them."
The corners of Tuyumen Mari's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "We picked up a big bargain." ”
Chalcedony spiritual liquid, in fact, is a bit like stalactites, which is an spiritual liquid made of jade under the action of long-term spiritual energy.
In general, it is artificially made, and there are often not many of them.
With so much chalcedony elixir, it was the first time it had ever happened.
The reason why Tsuchigomon Mashiro is so happy is because this thing is an artifact for the Onmyoji family.
It can speed up the growth of one's own god, and the role is needless to say.
Haruhiko couldn't help but think about it.
He has two demons in his house.
Lime is okay, with black peacock feathers, and if you have been long enough, you can advance.
But Izumi can't.
It's been so long that it's only the second order.
Its growth rate is far less than that of Haruhiko.
So far, the biggest role is to sell cute.
If you have a chalcedony elixir, you might be able to advance to the third order.
"What about the fifth-order demon?"
Haruhiko suddenly thought of the point.
It was clear at a glance in this valley, and there was no fifth-order demon suspected of being a snake at all.
"It's in the pool."
Tsuchigomon Mari pointed to the surface of the water and said, "And it's dying, and now it's surviving on the chalcedony spiritual liquid." ”
"Dying?"
Haruhiko's eyes widened.
Ordinary youkai can't surprise him so much.
But this is a fifth-order demon.
Some youkai can even live forever.
Tsuchigomon Mari did not answer.
With a flick of her hand, the pool of water spread out in all directions, revealing a waterway.
"Whether the snake is friend or foe is unknown, you are ready to use the ring to teleport at any time."
Tsuchigomon Maharo stepped forward, patted Haruhiko on the shoulder, and said.
"If it's really Teng Snake, master, you should have a way to make it trust you, right?"
Tsuchigomon Mari turned her head to look at her and asked.
"I have here the spirit tools handed down by Abe Harumi's ancestors, but be careful."
Tuyumen Mahaku said and took out an ancient book, and the cover was written as "Golden Black Jade Rabbit Collection".
Haruhiko was slightly stunned, he knew this book.
More precisely, I saw it in a textbook at the University of Tokyo.
Legend has it that a collection of onmyojutsu written by Haruaki Abe records the highest achievements of the Onmyoji.
It is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Abe clan or the Tsuchigomon clan.
Because it was so famous, it appeared in textbooks.
There is also a version about this book.
It is said that Abe Qingming went to the Tang Dynasty and apprenticed to the Venerable Master.
Haruhiko actually believes in this version more.
After all, the source of the Onmyoji or Onmyoji is not Dongying.
Either way, this book is definitely a good thing, at least a fifth-order spirit tool.
But because of the various Yin-Yang techniques recorded, their value is far beyond that of ordinary spiritual tools.
"I'll go ahead."
Tuyumen Mahaku held the "Golden Black Jade Rabbit Collection" in his hand and said, "Haruhiko walks in the middle, the safest." ”
With that, she levitated and slowly reached the waterhole.
But instead of sinking immediately, she looked at Haruhiko.
Haruhiko knew what she meant, and didn't say anything, and came to her side with spiritual energy.
Tsuchigomon Mahaku slowly descended.
The "Golden Crow Jade Rabbit Collection" in her hand suddenly burst.
A golden glow and a silver glow emerge at the same time.
The golden black rabbit in the title of the book refers to the sun and the moon, which are also known as yin and yang.
Haruhiko believes that this book is definitely not just a record of Yin-Yang Jutsu, and it must have an effect similar to a power bonus.
In the middle of thinking, I arrived at the bottom of the pool.
The floor is paved with white jade, which is very clear.
But the so-called Teng Snake is not there.
Haruhiko subconsciously looked at Tsuchigomon Mashiro.
Could it be that she is perceiving it wrongly?
Tsuchigomon Mashiro did not explain.
She opened the "Golden Crow Jade Rabbit Collection".
A flash of psionic energy flashed.
The white jade beneath his feet became transparent, revealing a huge space underneath.
There was an old man with gray hair.
His eyes were closed, motionless, as if he were dead.
Tsuchiyomon Mahaku waved lightly.
Haruhiko felt like he was enveloped in psionic energy, and then he felt a sense of pushing his back.
When he came back to his senses again, he was already in front of the old man.
In addition to him, there are also Tsuchigomon Mashiro and Tsuchigomon Mashiro.
Two people, one on the left and one on the right, protected him.
Haruhiko inexplicably remembered the night before.
The same goes for Tsuchigomon Mari and Yukihime.
He shook his head, quickly threw the seductive image out of his mind, and regained his composure.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were vertical, like snakes.
Although it is in human form, its identity is undoubtedly that of a snake.
He didn't go to see the three of them for the first time, but looked at the "Golden Black Jade Rabbit Collection" in the hands of Tuyumen Zhenbai.
After a moment, he gave a wistful look.
"Qingming's descendants?"
The old man asked casually.
It's just that the voice is weak, as if it is about to die.
"Yes."
Tuyumen Mahaku bowed slightly and said politely.
"I didn't expect to see Qingming's bloodline again before I died."
The old man said with some emotion.
"Are you a snake?"
Tsuchigomon Mahaku paused and asked.
"I am."
Teng Snake smiled and said, "It's not bad that you little girl actually knows me." ”
"I guessed it."
Tsuchigomon Mashiro pointed upwards and said, "There are a lot of snakes out there. ”
"Oh, it's the psionic energy I left behind, to keep outsiders out of it."
Teng Snake seemed to remember something, and his face showed a sudden look.
"Block?"
Tsuchigomon Mahaku pondered and asked, "Is the Teng Snake senior here to fulfill some mission?" ”
"Not bad."
Teng Snake sighed and said, "...... back then"
He stopped abruptly.
Tsuchigomon Mahaku looked at him suspiciously.
"Although you say that you are the descendant of Qingming, you have to let me verify it before I can tell you the truth."
Teng Snake sat up with difficulty and said, "Give me the "Golden Crow Jade Rabbit Collection" in your hand. ”
Hearing this, the earth royal gate was hesitant to face him.
Because the "Golden Black Jade Rabbit Collection" is the treasure of the Tuyumen clan.
Only the head of the house can use it.
To be honest, she doesn't trust Teng Snake either.
"Little girl, what are you afraid of?"
Teng Snake knew her concerns, so he asked rhetorically, "With the strength of the two of you, how can my remnant body snatch the book and escape?" ”
Tuyumen Mahaku hesitated for a few seconds and handed him the "Golden Black Jade Rabbit Collection".
She really believed in her own strength and that of Tsuchigomon Mari.
