Eighth Crown

When the sun was in the middle of the sky, Liuxia returned to the tree hole where Shanyi rested.

He already has three sun swords in his hand, one was given by Shanyi's cultivator, a swordsman's sun sword with golden-yellow thunder and lightning patterns, and the other sword's body is completely emerald green. Breathing swordsman's hiron sword, a flame-breathing swordsman's sun katana with a red blade.

"Ah? Liuxia-chan, you're back."

Inside the tree hole, Shanyi sat up sleepily, and his eyes became curious after seeing the three sun knives on Liu Xia's body.

"Liuxia-chan, what's the matter with these knives?"

"Pick it up."

Liu Xia came to sit down in the tree hole, and returned Shanyi's sun blade to him. At the same time, he spoke in an unwavering tone.

"Several people seem to have died last night. I went out to look for them. With good luck, I found two."

Liu Xia's breathing was still gentle, her eyes were as indifferent as ever, and her heartbeat did not change in the slightest.

"Oh."

When Shanyi heard Liu Xia's words, he didn't hear the feeling of lying in his tone, but just sighed in a complicated way, "Have several people died in just one night?"

Shan Yi has a little-known special ability.

His hearing is very good, to the point of completely surpassing human beings. He can not only hear distant sounds that ordinary people cannot hear, but can even distinguish between people and ghosts by listening to sounds.

Even so, he could even hear the feelings contained in people's words clearly, and then he could detect whether the other party was lying, panicking, or conspiracy.

Therefore, no matter who they are, as long as they have feelings, they cannot hide from Shanyi's ears.

But Shanyi didn't hear the feeling of lying from Liu Xia's words, no, to be exact, he couldn't hear any feelings from Liu Xia's words, it was like a stone was talking to him.

Therefore, Zenitsu couldn't actually tell whether Liu Xia was lying.

It was the first time he had met someone like Liu Xia in such a long time, as if he didn't have even the slightest emotion, and it was as cold as ore without temperature.

However, Shanyi still chose to trust Liu Xia.

Because even if he wanted to learn breathing techniques and sword skills from him, he still brought his oil bottle with him after all, and was indeed protecting him.

Since he was willing to protect him after he learned breathing techniques and sword skills, and he didn't leave him, then at least he could be considered to be keeping his word, and he shouldn't be a bad person.

What's more, he can believe even those women who deliberately approached him in order to cheat money in the past, and Liu Xia is no exception.

To put it simply, his character is so kind that even if it is a lie, he is willing to believe it.

However, he was indeed deceived by Liu Xia this time.

The Sun Wheel Knife was indeed 'picked up', and it was 'picked up' by the original owner after his death.

It's just that no one saw the process.

In order to prevent accidents, Liu Xia only 'picked up' two, and only 'picked up' them after confirming that the original owner was indeed dead.

The second night came.

That night, Liu Xia killed three more ghosts, bringing the total number of cannibal ghosts to seven.

When the day came, he left the tree hole again, looking for candidate swordsmen of various schools.

However, this time, he was not trying to 'pick up' the sun blade, but simply compete with various swordsmen.

Just like what I said before, Liu Xia is not a swordsman with a very high level like Miyamoto Musashi. Musashi does not need sword skills, and completely relies on the eight words of "moving with the sword and changing with the situation" to fight the enemy. But Luca couldn't.

He needs all kinds of sword skills to enrich himself, so that his strength can really become stronger.

On the third night, Lucia killed two more demons.

The words displayed in the [Mission Template] at the bottom right of his perspective have become—

[Spiritual Base Upgrade Quest I - Basic Ability Value Enhancement Limited]: Kill 10 cannibals in total (9/10)

"There is the last one left, and the first spiritual foundation promotion task should be completed tonight."

On the fourth day of the day, after the sparring with the other swordsmen, Liu Xia got into the tree hole, recharged and prepared for the night hunting.

…………

A few hours later, the fourth night came quickly.

Liu Xia and Zenitsu walked out of the tree hole again and wandered around in the mountains.

However, with the passage of several days, I don't know if it was because Liu Xia killed a lot, the number of ghosts decreased significantly.

On the first and second day, Liu Xia could kill three ghosts every day, and on the third day, Liu Xia only killed two ghosts.

And wait until the fourth day.

Liu Xia and Shan Yi wandered in the mountains in the middle of the night, but they didn't even encounter a ghost.

"Good luck today!"

Shanyi was following Liu Xia's side, he was very happy, he didn't have the cowardice and fear a few days ago, his face was full of peace of mind.

Over the past few days, the evil spirits that rushed out every night were quickly killed by Liu Xia. After playing this scene in front of his eyes for nearly ten times, he had fully realized how strong Liu Xia was. The place where the novice was selected is definitely an invincible existence, which finally gave him a lot of security, and the whole person became light and almost happy.

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

However, Shanyi had just finished his sigh when an incomparably shrill scream came from not far away.

Liu Xia's footsteps paused, then turned around without hesitation, and ran away in the direction from which the screams came.

The expression on Shanyi's face suddenly became bitter, but he had no confidence to live alone. After looking around the dark environment to the left and right, he immediately shuddered, and hurriedly ran behind Liu Xia.

On the open space several hundred meters away from the two.

There is a huge alien standing here.

That is completely literal, and there are fundamentally different creatures from ordinary people and ghosts.

He is nearly three meters tall, and his body is extremely bloated like a walking piece of meat. The skin on his body is as gray-green as polluted muddy water.

The front, back, left, and right sides of the torso were covered with arms of different lengths, and he even used his two arms as a scarf around his neck, as if it was specially designed to deal with the tactic of the swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Team cutting the neck. generally.

"Alien ghost?"

As soon as Liu Xia came here, he found the extremely conspicuous huge figure with a stench on his body all the time, and he could tell his identity at a glance.

That kind of strange posture will definitely make people think of the name "Alien Ghost" in an instant, but according to the ghost killing team, there should be no Alien ghosts on Fujii Mountain.

"However, it doesn't matter if it is an alien ghost, you are my last prey."

Even when faced with an alien ghost with a huge stature, it just seemed to have the oppressive power of an ordinary evil ghost, but there was still no fear on Liu Xia's face.

On the contrary, the moment he saw the other party, he pulled out the two sun knives from his waist together, and rushed towards the other party unceremoniously.
