Mechanical Alchemist

As soon as Qiantiao appeared on the stage, he killed the ghost king [Hundred Faces of Ghosts], which made Su Lun and Yuzi stunned.

After crossing the threshold of "Sword Master", it is no exaggeration to say that her combat power has more than doubled than before.

And what's more obvious is that Chijo's control of "Onimaru Hyakume Somasa" is becoming more and more comfortable. At this moment, in her hands, this demon sword exerted the power it should have as a demon soldier of hell. The sword energy condenses and never disperses, converging on the unparalleled sharpness of the sword, chopping those armored ghost soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. One slash with the knife triggered purple thunder in the sky, like a thunder prison, causing countless ghosts in the prison to howl in pain.

This is the real "thunder hell" scene.

The three of them didn't talk much about the past, Qianjo killed [Fat Ghost], drew his sword and immediately killed [Onio·Toyonai Hideyoshi] who was fighting with Su Lun.

Both were swordsmen, and the swords touched and slashed with flames.

But Qiantiao clearly had the upper hand, every knife was surrounded by the momentum of thunder, and he was so domineering that the ghost king retreated steadily.

Su Lun took the opportunity to escape, and the four-stage hormonal rampage technique was undone, panting heavily.

This time, because he didn't work hard, and the time was calculated just right, although the muscles in his body were scalding hot, steam was coming out. But fortunately, I didn't get all the injuries like last time, and I couldn't even walk.

He walked over, protected Miko by his side, and then swallowed the "gray mist" on the scorched ground.

It's a pity that most of the soul and demon energy were burned in the thunder sea baptism, and the fragments Su Lun harvested were not many.

But it's better than nothing.

The entry of Qiantiao turned the situation around in an instant.

Su Lun controlled the puppet to kill mobs, and cleaned up the "materials" left on the battlefield, which was quite leisurely.

It didn't take long for the battle to end, and there were ghost corpses everywhere.

Su Lun went to harvest the soul of [Toyoshi Hideyoshi], and harvested a lot of ancient military tactics. The demonic aura of the corpse also gave him a lot of "experience" for the phantom of death.

The news of the siege had already spread among the monsters, and the three of them did not dare to stay near Cangshan, so they found a direction and broke through.

Not long after, there was an unnamed mountain stream with flowing water.

The three of Su Lun walked on the gravel beach.

They walked along the way, killed another little ghost king, and finally succeeded in breaking through.

There was no trace of the monster for several miles around.

Because he walked quickly before, Yuzi was always held by Su Lun. Now it seems that the situation is not so critical, so he put him down.

Now that they are free, the three of them have the time to chat.

Su Lun was curious about Qiantiao's current state, so he asked, "Sister Qiantiao, have you advanced to the rank of 'Juvenile Master'?"

Qianjo was in a good mood, with a proud smile on his face, "Of course."

After a pause, she said: "Before, I always felt that there was something lacking. When I saw the statue of "Jianyu Thunder God" in the underground palace, I felt the high-ranking thunderbolt sword intent, and suddenly realized it. It also aroused the sword intent of the sword masters of the past dynasties contained in the demon knife, which reminded me of the scene of hell full of thunder, so I figured out this "thunder hell". "

When Su Lun heard this, she was also happy for her, "That's good."

He reckoned that if they met a big ghost king of the level of [Shuten Doji] again, the two of them would really be unable to fight, at least they would be able to calmly protect themselves.

With the intent of the sword turning into the astral, Qiantiao has the ability to truly cut through the astral energy protecting the body.

Saying that, Qiantiaoyou played with the bodhi pendant hanging on his waist, and said: "It's also thanks to this [Bodhi child], without this thing, I wouldn't be able to feel the already negligible divinity."

Su Lun was a little curious and asked, "What does it feel like to have an epiphany?"

Qianjo thought about it for a while: "It's amazing. It seems to be enlightened all at once, and I have grasped the feeling of quicksand between my fingers that I couldn't grasp before."

Miko on the side also blinked, and interjected apologetically, "Miss Qianjo, did you disturb your epiphany?"

She naturally knew that if Su Lun didn't bring her "oil bottle", Qiantiao didn't need to come out in a hurry.

"Excuse me? It doesn't exist."

Chijo had an indifferent expression on his face.

As she spoke, her expression flickered, and she said: "Actually, I had an epiphany yesterday. I thought you didn't send a message, so let you increase your relationship. I will also stabilize my realm and accumulate sword energy by the way."

Hearing this, Miko was stunned.

As expected, Su Lun rolled his eyes.

It's strange not to play tricks on this young gambling addict.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Qiantiao suddenly put his arms around Su Lun's shoulders, and said with a mysterious smirk: "By the way, Su Lun boy. Have you tried it? I'll tell you Surprise?"

"."

When Su Lun heard this, he rolled his eyes and didn't intend to pay attention to it.

It is said that he lowered his voice on purpose, but in fact, the content of what he said was clearly heard by Miko beside him.

Qiantiao grabbed Yuzi again and said, "Oh, if we can't get out, wouldn't it be a pity not to try?"

Hearing this straightforward tease, Miko gave her a rather helpless look.

In the next few days, the three of Su Lun were on the way to ambush all kinds of ghosts.

The effect of Yuzi's "Tang Monk Meat" is really good, those monsters can be found from far away.

Now Qiantiao's combat power is very exaggerated. Although she is only at the fifth level now, only those who have mastered the sixth level can use the proficient "dominant energy", which makes her sword energy have a super armor-piercing effect, killing those spirit elements Class monsters are very sharp.

Moreover, the sword intent of "Thundering Hell" she comprehended fits very well with the demon sword, and she was able to display the full capabilities of "Zongzheng", a demon soldier of hell. Originally, the evil energy would corrupt people's minds, and the indiscriminate use of the power of the evil sword might lead to enchantment, but the Buddhist suppression of [Bodhizi] completed this most critical link.

Qiantiao, holding the demon knife in his hand now, is like holding a "forbidden object" that will not be cursed back at any time, and slashing wantonly.

Even Su Lun couldn't evaluate her combat power.

It is reckoned that as long as there is no ability restraint, the sixth-level professional can fight.

The three-person combination cooperated tacitly, and ambushed monsters in various barren mountains and ridges.

Miko acts as a bait to perceive monsters, while Chijo and Su Lun are responsible for killing monsters.

In just a few days, they surrounded the ghost city and killed more than a dozen ghost kings and thousands of ghosts.

As a result, Su Lun stripped away a large amount of demonic energy, and his law of death skyrocketed.

This made him feel that the world of Huangquan in this book seems to be different.

However, those ghosts are not stupid, no matter how tempting Yuzi's breath is, it is not as important as their own lives.

Gradually, the efficiency of ambush became lower and lower.

Su Lun has harvested a lot of information about Huang Quanguo, and the monsters here know almost everything. Especially those with big names, they have a clear picture of what abilities they have. When they encounter those they cannot beat, they will devour them in a roundabout way, and if they can beat them, they will violently wipe them out.

Just after Su Lun and the others planned to ambush a large group of zombie monsters [Blood Drought] from the ghost town, the leader of which was one of the "Eight Demon Kings of the Underworld" with the same status as [Jiu Tun Doji], there was no "business" at all.

Even if it's all kinds of methods to provoke and lure the enemy, those ghost kings will not be stupid enough to come to them on their own initiative.

Occasionally, I can kill a few little devils who have never heard of the "violent names" of the three, and it is not enough to squeeze their teeth.

Before they knew it, Su Lun and the others had been in Huangquan Country for more than 20 days.

In the sky of Huang Quanguo, there will always be that dark, cold gray moon hanging in the sky.

At dinner time, in a dilapidated small temple.

The three of them wandered around for a long time without gaining anything, so they planned to spend the night here.

Originally, Su Lun planned to wait until the 30-day effect of [Beg God Niwan] disappeared before trying to find a way to go out.

But now it seems that it doesn't make any difference whether the breath is leaked or not.

The monster did not come to the door, and it seemed that his life was not in danger outside the city.

But after all, it is impossible to stay in this cursed space forever. The word [Pollution] appeared on the panel displayed by the All-Seeing Eye, and he knew that even though the battle absorbed dark spiritual power, the Qi of the Underworld was still polluting their bodies through breathing.

So, a few days earlier or later makes no difference.

They are going to contact Izanami, the lord of the Underworld, tomorrow.

Su Lun set up the tent, took out the boiler, and took out a pile of food.

Miko helped clean up. No one is taking care of the daily life these days, and the princess, who has never cooked before, has learned to look good.

Although it is a fast food dish, the food for this meal is also unusually rich. There are dried fish, dried meat, canned fruit and dehydrated vegetables.

After heating, the aroma is tangy.

The three of them gathered around the hot stew pot, eating happily.

It's no wonder there's no need to fight, and it's not entirely bad.

The good thing is that they don't have to hide in XZ, but they can also sleep peacefully and eat something peacefully.

Qianjo's sitting posture was full of sternness, and she held her sword while eating, and she complained while eating: "Ah, now these monsters have learned to be good, and they don't come to die."

The swordsmen of the hell way practice killing and cutting. They are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of not fighting.

It's been a long time since I haven't encountered a monster that can make her strike a second time, so I naturally feel a little flustered.

Hearing this, Su Lun had a smile on his face, but his eyes were serious, "Miss Qiantiao, take a good rest today. If there is no accident, things will not go so smoothly tomorrow."

Hearing this, Chijo shrugged noncommittally.

Thinking about it, she asked: "Su Lun, you have collected so much information these days. What do you think is the strength of the Lord of the Underworld?"

Su Lun showed a hint of deep thought, and said: "The lord of the country is very mysterious. All the ghosts in the Underworld have an almost incomprehensible fanatical worship of him. Naturally, there are no records of the fight for reference."

After thinking for a moment, he changed the subject and analyzed again: "However, the strength is not incalculable. 'Normally' the cursed space is limited by the law of the plane, and a single individual in the space will not be too high. I think he should It is the seventh level that has mastered some special abilities."

This is the most reasonable judgment.

The laws of their alchemy plane were broken, and the upper limit was locked at the "semi-god level".

This is still the upper limit.

Under normal circumstances, even the cursed space formed after the death of a demigod is only at the seventh or eighth level at most. Over time, there are also environmental and energy impacts.

These days, Su Lun has almost figured out the entire ghost town of Huang Quanguo. [Jiu Tun-douji], who has the combat power of a sixth-level professional, belongs to the top monster of Huang Quanguo.

There are still a few legendary great ghost kings hidden in the city, but it is estimated that the combat power exceeds the seventh level, which is very reluctant.

They are said to be powerful, mostly because they have certain special abilities.

Su Lun didn't think that this "Izanami" would be so strong that there was no upper limit.

After all, he has really seen the gods.

Whether it is the "Fallen Angel" or the "God of Nature" of the Dalu tribe, they are all real living gods.

And these gods of Shanyin may have been really high-ranking gods in ancient times. But not surprisingly, almost all of them should have perished in that "Great Collapse".

Otherwise the present would not have never come.

Now many gods in Shanyin are actually just the personification of a collection of beliefs, and they can be regarded as existences at the level of "false gods" and "outer gods".

In layman's terms, it is a very powerful "big monster".

Chijo frowned upon hearing this analysis.

After pondering for a moment, she said: "Even if it is the seventh level, we have no chance of winning in a head-to-head encounter. I hope he has no malicious intentions."

Su Lun was not optimistic, nodded and said: "Yes. We Yingai focus on thinking about how to deal with accidents, and I always feel that something is wrong."

After the awareness of the law of death improved, this feeling became more and more intense.

Qiantiao: "."

The two chatted,

Miko who was on the side didn't speak the whole time.

After all, believers cannot talk about gods indiscriminately. Even here, she sticks to her beliefs.

After eating, the three of them packed up and got ready to rest.

The snowflakes in the sky drifted more and more densely, and soon formed a thick layer outside the threshold of the ruined temple. The cold moonlight shone on the snow, reflecting a strange hazy blue light.

Probably because tomorrow is the time to decide their fate, the three of them are relaxing instead.

Su Lun held the notebook that collected information these days, like a check before handing in an exam, trying to find possible "errors" in the plan.

Miko is getting ready to rest because of the sacrifice tomorrow.

Beside her, Qianjo was lying there with Erlang's legs crossed in a loose kimono, as lazy as ever.

Qianjo looked at Su Lun with a serious expression, patted the place beside him, and said hello: "Boy Su Lun, come and have a good rest. We have done everything we can."

When Su Lun heard this, the frown on his brows relaxed, and then he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yeah."

Yes, everything that needs to be done has been done.

If you really want to be invincible, it is not a strategy that can be changed.

He went to the tent.

The innermost Miko vacated a place, and Chijo also moved his buttocks, leaving him a place where he could lie down.

Su Lun was not polite, and lay down beside Qiantiao.

The three of them lay on their backs on the mat. This angle was just right to see the snow scene outside from the gate of the ruined temple.

No one spoke for a while, and the three of them just lay there quietly.

They didn't feel sleepy either, they all reflected the beautiful snow scene of Huangquan Kingdom in their eyes.

Suddenly, Qiantiao asked, "Su Lun, if we really can't get out, do you have any regrets?"

Su Lun responded with a relaxed tone: "It's quite a pity. There are so many things I haven't seen in such a wonderful world."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and said, "For example, I haven't stood on the peak of the alchemy field to see the scenery, I haven't seen the prosperous capitals of the two empires, I haven't seen other planes. Well, and, It is the most regrettable that I can no longer see so many friends I have known.”

Qianjo also sighed slightly when he heard this, and said: "Oh, you said that you were going on an adventure together as a pirate, but you didn't think it would be a bad luck. Don't tell me, I admire 'Fujiwara Hayato' and 'Pirate King Heisa' more and more now." M' these great adventurers. It's really good to explore the world and discover the unknown."

Su Lun smiled, "Yeah, I also think adventurer is a good job."

The tone of the two was inexplicable and pessimistic.

And so it is.

Until now, Su Lun was not at all sure that he would be able to get out alive.

Since Yute Ji Ye chose to use this [death novel], he must have wanted to trap all outsiders here, and it would not be so easy to break free.

What's more, this is the "T-level" space judged by the all-seeing eye. It is absolutely impossible to get out without finding the slim one-in-one chance.

game of tomorrow,

Big bad.

Su Lun asked again: "What about you, Miss Qiantiao?"

"Me? I'm fine."

Qiantiao was very appreciative, and said: "I have now entered the 'Sword Saint Realm', and I have touched the highest state of swordsmanship, and I have fulfilled my wish. It would be even better if I could fight one more hearty battle. "

At this time, she thought of something, and asked Miko on the right, "Miss Miko, how about you?"

Miko has a gentle and quiet personality, and when she is not speaking, she has a low sense of presence.

Even when the three of them get along, most of the time, she just listens silently.

After hearing the question, she responded in a very calm tone: "For us Shinto believers, the process of death is just waiting for the next reincarnation."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, and the plain white skirt on his chest undulated obviously.

She didn't care about her own life or death, but she was sorry for hurting her friends.

The imperial son said sadly: "I'm sorry. I implicated Mr. Su Lun and Miss Qiantiao, if not."

When Qianjo heard this, before she could finish speaking, he hugged Yuzi in his arms, and said dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, Yuzi, it's very strange for you to say such things."

Miko's head was pressed against Qianjo's chest, full of pressure, and she couldn't help but struggle.

She could only beg for mercy: "Sister Qiantiao, I can hardly breathe"

Only then did Chijo laugh and let go.

The three chatted for a while without saying a word, and gradually became quiet.

The light source of the magic lamp was turned off, and the surroundings became dark.

There was only the sound of even breathing in the tent.

Su Lun didn't feel sleepy, and lay on his back on the mat. The more he thought about it, the strange premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He felt that he had vaguely thought of some key point, but it seemed that he was looking at the flowers in a fog, which made him unable to see clearly.

Chijo was sleeping next to her, and the two were very close. A large piece of skin touched, and the two didn't feel uncomfortable. Such intimacy is the norm these days.

Neither fell asleep.

Suddenly, Chijo turned sideways.

Su Lun only felt his arms sink into a heavy softness.

Qianjo put her face close to his ear, and said softly, "Su Lun, if you have a chance to live, live it well."

In Edo before, the blind female luthier with the [Tiantongyan] talent predicted her death.

Since fate cannot be changed, if possible, she doesn't want to involve Su Lun.

Su Lun listened and didn't respond to her.

The tacit understanding between the two made it natural for him to immediately know what she wanted to express.

Will Miss Chijo die?

It seems that that prophecy should be fulfilled here.

This was a thorn in Su Lun's heart.

For a while, his thoughts became more melancholy.

Originally, this was a very sad atmosphere, but at this moment, Qianjo suddenly turned over and rolled over from Su Lun.

"Change position!"

She rudely squeezed Su Lun into the middle and fell asleep.

Su Lun guessed that Qiantiao might have some evil intentions.

But after changing the position, she folded her arms and fell asleep peacefully.

One side is Chijo, and the other side is Miko.

To Su Lun's surprise, Yuzi did not avoid suspicion. She turned her body slightly, leaned against Su Lun's big arm, and her breathing gradually eased.
