Mechanical Alchemist

Perhaps it was the pursuit of the past few days that left a deep shadow on Shenfu Yuzi and the others. As soon as they heard the words "coming" from Su Lun's mouth, they immediately entered a state of combat readiness. Several ninja guards took out their weapons instantly and surrounded Miko.

The atmosphere in the bamboo forest instantly became serious, and everyone could hear each other's heavy breathing.

Yuzi glanced at Qiantiao, and from the corner of his eye, he turned to Su Lun, the meaning was obvious: what should we do now?

Although she also knew that Su Lun was definitely not weak, but after all, there was only one person.

That ghost warrior was originally a warrior who died in battle, a large number, and he also knew the tactics of encircling and killing the army in his lifetime, and his combat power was astonishing. The key is immortality, which is the trickiest thing. In this situation, even if the fifth- and sixth-level professionals come, they will not be able to reap the benefits. Otherwise, their team wouldn't be killed like this.

If it is still as hard as the previous two days, there will definitely be heavy casualties, and maybe it won't be until dawn.

A strong enemy is coming, but Qianjo still maintains the indifferent demeanor of "life and death are indifferent, and he draws his sword to do it". Seeing Yuzi's gaze, she shrugged and motioned to look at Su Lun's beside her.

Su Lun was stared at by several eyes, and his expression was normal, but he was actually a little stressed.

Hearing that [Onimusha] was able to chase and kill Qianjo and the others so embarrassingly all the way, one knew that it would definitely not be easy to deal with.

His original plan before coming was that if he really couldn't beat him, he would run away with Qianjo and Lolotta.

But the real situation is that Miss Yuzi is very righteous and persuaded them to separate several times.

On the contrary, it made Su Lun feel that if he just let go and ran away, it seemed... not very righteous.

What's more, the meaning of Qiantiao is probably to be favored by others, try to protect the imperial son as much as possible.

That's all, do your best.

Thousands of hands were sealed, and the seal was very stiff. The sixteen unsealed seals that appeared in a single shot turned into a slow-motion performance, and it took half a minute to condense. The arm of the reproductive equipment behind him was also restricted by the anti-magic rune, and two usable arms of the reproductive equipment were barely condensed. She put her hand on the hilt of "Demon Saber Zongzheng", and her whole body suddenly became awe-inspiring.

Lolotta also drew out the long knife, and guarded Qianjo with a serious face. This little girl seemed to be a different person after she drew the knife, her immature face was fearless.

On the other hand, Su Lun is the most leisurely one.

Because he waited in the bamboo forest for nearly an hour in advance, what should be prepared has been prepared, and there is nothing to do now.

But it was his attitude of not doing anything that made the ninja guard captain next to Miko's eyelids twitch frequently. He seemed to think that this person was unreliable, so he tried several times to persuade his princess to escape first. After all, they are guards, no one dares to overstep.

Su Lun didn't want to explain anything, holding the human skin rune fan in his hand, he carefully sensed the ghostly body that suddenly appeared in the bamboo forest.

Yuzi's face was normal, she saw that the "reinforcement" had no other tactical arrangements, and she thought that there was probably only one way to fight, and she was already mentally prepared. Gritting his silver teeth, he also took out a longbow, and put the quiver on his back, as if he wanted to fight in person.

However, she was also very curious, why did this Mr. Su Lun find out the enemy was coming before him, a Shinto priestess who was more sensitive to monsters?

It didn't take long for everyone to enter the fighting state. Not long after, dense footsteps suddenly came from the dark bamboo forest.

It seemed that there were thousands of people surrounding them, which made one's hair stand on end.

After a few breaths, everyone's eyes saw "figures" approaching them.

After taking a closer look, I saw that they were corpse soldiers dressed in tattered warriors Kai and holding spears and swords in their hands. They looked like mummies, with blue phosphorous flames radiating from their eye sockets.

"This is [Onimusha]"

Looking at these ghost images, Su Lun has already identified the details, and has a rough idea in his mind.

This is a monster with some characteristics of zombies and ghosts.

If that's the case alone, Su Lun doesn't think the problem is too big. After all, these mobs, according to Qiantiao, are only as powerful as Tier 1 or Tier 2 professionals.

In the legend of Shanyin Kingdom, human beings and the dead co-exist. During the day, humans are active, and at night when the sun goes down, the dead travel. Originally, night was the time when the yin energy was the most intense in the day. As soon as those ghost warriors appeared, the temperature dropped suddenly, and there was a kind of coldness that made the soul tremble.

However, Su Lun didn't think it was a problem. He was a dark warlock, and he was quite resistant to dark energy.

A few ninja guards were visibly nervous. These ghosts left too many shadows on them.

The number of Onimusha is extremely large, more than six or seven hundred by visual estimation, and those pairs of orchid and phosphorescent eyes are particularly penetrating in the dark bamboo forest.

The monster in the lead had approached Su Lun and his group within a hundred meters. At this moment, the ninja guards rubbed their palms together and threw several shurikens in each hand.

These hidden weapons of the Enveloping Wind Blade technique are extremely fast and sharp, and they are extremely concealable in the dark. Su Lun only watched the flash of light in front of his eyes, and those hidden weapons easily cut off the bamboo, and a series of "Keng Keng Keng Keng Keng Keng Keng Keng" hit a group of ghost warriors and passed through.

"Very strong"

Su Lun's eyes froze slightly.

If you don't talk about sustainability, these elemental shurikens are much stronger than conventional alchemy bullets.

But his eyes are more concerned about those Onimusha who were hit.

The guards around Yuzi are all jounin-level masters with strong combat abilities, probably at the level of a third-tier or fourth-tier alchemist. Therefore, it is easy to kill these ordinary first and second rank ghost warriors. Just this round of shuriken hit ten or twenty onimushas, ​​and they all hit vital points, and they chopped off a lot of stumps and corpses with a crash.

But what is surprising is that once those ghost warriors were killed, they suddenly turned into a black sand-like corpse, collapsing into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the black air condensed again and became an entity.

Su Lun's left eye was shining brightly, carefully observing the process of transforming from an elemental state into a corpse, and his thoughts became active: "Onimusha's death to resurrection is a transition from a spirit body to a physical body, but the attack is still a physical attack method. It’s too tricky. And before they are killed, they can be controlled physically. And they are humanoid monsters, although they are dead, but their body structure and human beings don’t know whether [spiritual tentacles] can be controlled.”

This is similar to the information I got from Chijo before.

The black crow on the shoulder called "quack", and seemed to like those dead spirits very much. Su Lun narrowed his eyes, but thought of another possibility in his mind: "If this thing can be used in the puppet army, the attribute of immortality is a good thing! However, what is their energy source?" ?”

Because they can be reunited after death, even if a few Jonin are fighting hard, the number of Oni Samurai Legion is not decreasing, but more and more, faintly forming an encirclement trend.

In the current situation, no one can watch the show, even Miko Miko, who is the princess of the royal family, took out his longbow and volleyed.

Her arrows are not ordinary, the Shinto priestess is also proficient in some spells, and the arrow that condensed mana was like a beam of light, piercing through several ghost warriors in an instant. Those ghost warriors whose bodies were pierced were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. She draws arrows very fast, and her damage to Onimusha is also the strongest among them.

"The Miko of Iga Shrine, Amaterasu, Light Magic"

Although the spell system is different, Su Lun can also tell that this is obviously a spell arrow with a dispelling effect on necromantic monsters.

Unfortunately, the power is not very good.

Su Lun had been in the Daru tribe for a long time before, and he had a full understanding of the abilities of the god believers.

The power of the divine way is weak, and all spells based on the divine way will also not be strong.

This imperial son can protect himself, but he is a bit weak in killing the enemy.

Su Lun kept observing, looking at the dispelled and condensed dead energy, but still did not act, "Sure enough, there is a source of dead energy"

Since the pursuit is to be solved, the problem is not limited to Onimusha.

There are also root problems.

for example:

How could these monsters have been unable to get rid of?

Who is in control?

Is someone some kind of special tracking method, or is the problem internal?

In the eyes of some ordinary people, many phenomena cannot be explained, and they can be attributed to "spiritual events".

Especially in a theocratic society like Shanyin Kingdom, the mysterious, inviolable, and ignorant rule will make the rights and beliefs of those in power more stable. Residents are "ignorant" to some extent.

Therefore, ghost warriors are also unsolvable.

But in the eyes of alchemists, energy is conserved.

All seemingly weird phenomena can be traced to the bottom and found the reason.

This ghost warrior is immortal, there must be a reason for his immortality.

Su Lun is still waiting.

He felt that the most crucial link was still missing.

The "reinforcement" Su Lun didn't do anything, but still watched with cold eyes. This abnormal behavior surprised everyone except Qianjo.

But no one has anything to say.

Now they have experienced the nightmare experience of the previous few days, and they can only resist physically.

Now that the ghost warriors had surrounded them, the efficiency of long-range methods was no longer high, and everyone started to fight hand-to-hand.

And at this time, the leader of the Onimusha finally appeared!

In Su Lun's perception, a very powerful spirit body appeared.

Looking again, a ghost warrior wearing scarlet warrior armor appeared in the field of vision.

It wears a blood-red grimace mask, the breastplate is made of five pieces of dark red gold steel, and the shoulder armor and knee armor are all woven of crimson dragon scales. This is the famous armor of the Warring States Period of Shanyin Kingdom, "Five pieces of iron red scale coating with full body"!

Su Lun appraised it. The material of this set of armor, from the iron sheet to the binding rope, is extremely rare. The breastplate is meteoric iron, and those scales are really the top material stripped from the seventh-order siren. The double defense of things and monsters is amazing.

The shuriken that could easily kill ordinary oni warriors before, only sparked a little bit of fire on this armor.

Even if it is Yuzi's bow and arrow, the shooting is only to dispel some lingering dead energy, and it is not painful.

As soon as this guy came, the look in everyone's eyes became extremely dignified.

It was this monster that killed too many of their companions in these two days.

Several ninjas rushed in with their knives, and Lolotta also rushed in.

Qian Tiao rushed forward and said to Su Lundo, "This guy's armor defense has no shortcomings. There is only a gap an inch to the left of the back of the head and neck that can be exploited. But its fighting instinct is also difficult to deal with, and it is extremely difficult to kill. Death. It will only become a little stiff when it condenses its body again."

"Um."

Su Lun nodded. Having this information would save him a lot of effort.

"I'm going!"

After finishing speaking, Qianjo glanced at Su Lun, drew his knife and rushed away.

In the blink of an eye, Qianjo and the Onimusha leader were fighting together.

For a moment, the sword energy was flying, sand and rocks were flying, and large green bamboos in the bamboo forest fell down.

Onimusha killed and resurrected before his eyes, killed and resurrected

Su Lun has almost completely figured out the characteristics of these monsters.

However, he still didn't move, his gaze was like a torch, and he carefully searched around the bamboo forest, trying to find something.

Chijo and a few jounin are very strong in battle. Although they have an absolute disadvantage in numbers, they are not at a disadvantage.

But the enemy will fight more and more, and the end will be the same as the previous few days, that is, being consumed alive.

Gradually, there were more and more ghost warriors around, and it became more and more difficult for everyone to cope.

The frequency of Shenfu Yuzi's bow and arrow shooting is much lower, and the power of light arrows is getting smaller and smaller.

Qiantiao's situation is not optimistic either. Her hands are sealed, and it is very difficult for her to wield a knife. The demon knife has not been tamed, and it seems that it is unwilling to be used. Except for Fengrui, it has not revealed the killing power it should have.

It didn't take long to fight, and several dangers arose, and several jonin were also injured.

As the expected "reinforcement", Su Lun's performance was disappointing.

It doesn't look like he is protecting Miko, but Miko is protecting him.

He stood next to Miko, unhurriedly sniping. Occasionally, he would use that not-so-sophisticated sword technique to slash and kill a few Onimushas who approached him. There are no more amazing moves.

In terms of fighting enthusiasm alone, even the little girl Lolota is more eye-catching than him.

At least, it wasn't worth what everyone expected just now.

Finally, seeing that the situation was getting more and more dangerous and there was no sign of getting better, the guard leader finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Your Highness, please go first! Let's hold these ghost warriors!"

They couldn't see any hope in Su Lun, the "reinforcement".

If you procrastinate any longer, it will be too late!

Before, because he was a guest of Her Royal Highness, the captain of the guard didn't say much, but now that life and death are at stake, he can only be rude.

He even had some doubts about the motive of this "reinforcement". Was it a deliberate delay?

Hearing this, Kamifu Miko also looked embarrassed.

Although she guessed that Mr. Su Lun beside him didn't try his best, as if he was planning something. But... even if he fights with all his strength, what can he change?

Su Lun listened to those obviously angry words, but his face remained expressionless, and he observed everything indifferently.

If these people just leave like this, they will save themselves a lot of trouble.

After all, the only thing he wanted to protect when he came here was Qiantiao.

For outsiders who don't have trust, it doesn't matter whether it's worth saving or not, it will be trouble after they are saved.

And it wasn't that he was holding back on purpose.

If you don't fight to the death, the man behind the scenes probably won't show up.

Even if they fight back tonight, it will let the opponent know the bottom line, and many plans will no longer work, and there will be endless troubles instead.

Because of mistrust and suspicion, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Qiantiao has absolute trust in Su Lun, and she can roughly guess Su Lun's thoughts at the moment, so she will not rush at all.

But after all, there are outsiders.

She was contracted to protect Miss Miko, so it was not good to not tell anything. She asked Su Lun, "How is it?"

Su Lun said three words straight: "Wait a little longer!"

Chijo listened, but didn't speak any more.

At this point, trust is waiting, but if you can't believe it, you will do your best.

The conversation between the two was said in front of everyone. Chijo had already asked, and Miko also realized that the choice fell on her.

If she wanted to go, she might be able to fight and walk until dawn.

But if you escape tonight, you may not be able to escape tomorrow.

But if you don't leave, looking at the current situation, when the guards are exhausted, they will definitely die in this bamboo forest tonight.

For a while, Yuzi was caught in a difficult decision.

The guards in the distance are still urging.

"Your Highness, it's too late if you don't leave!"

"Go!"

"."

She may not care about her own life, but she bears the heavy responsibility of the Shinto priestess and the royal family

Intuition told her that this might be the most important turning point in her life.

Miko Kamifu continued to draw her bow and shoot arrows, she caught a glimpse of Su Lun who was holding a black umbrella beside her from the corner of her eye. Seeing that calm expression, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes, she finally gritted her teeth, chose to believe, and said softly: "Listen to Mr. Su Lun, keep fighting!"

Su Lun glanced at Yuzi, and said in his heart: a wise choice.

Since he chooses to trust, then he feels that it is worthwhile to make a move.

And after observing for so long, Su Lun was probably sure that the problem did not lie inside.

Now in a desperate situation, several ninja guards did not show any flaws.

At this moment, probably seeing that Onimusha had pushed the Yushou and the others into a "desperate situation", the latter was also planning to show his face in that scene. Su Lun suddenly sensed a group of abnormal soul fluctuations in Onimusha, and his eyes froze: "It's him!"

In the next moment, Su Lun's double surgeon marks changed like lightning. The hideous eight-armed spider spear behind him and the six-pointed star array under his feet lit up, and a huge cross slowly condensed in the sky above the bamboo forest.

He groaned softly: "Profound Truth Puppet Theater!"

Seeing that he finally made a move, Chijo also breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the cross in the sky, Lolotta, who had been in danger several times, obviously recognized the spell, and murmured excitedly, "Is Mr. Su Lun finally going to cast that magician?"

Under the puzzled eyes of Miko Miko and several ninja guards, Su Lun changed his laziness just now, his eyes were like lightning, and his movements were smooth: "Seal, release!"

In the next moment, spatial fluctuations exploded everywhere in the bamboo forest.

Looking again, puppets with strange smiles were suspended in mid-air strangely, and there was a mechanical armor holding a ship-slaying knife not far away.

The puppet army finally appeared!

The hundreds of puppets that appeared out of thin air seemed to be more strange than the densely packed ghost warriors.

Looking at the exaggerated number of puppet legions, the doubts in his eyes turned into shock. At this moment, Miko Mifuko finally understood.

She understood why Miss Qianjo trusted Mr. Su Lun so much.

"This is too exaggerated"

Yuzi never expected that this "reinforcement soldier" would save the scene in such a way that people never expected!
