Wolf's words sounded a bit unreasonable, especially since it was just his feeling. But the conjecture he put forward reminded Li You of another animation work he had watched before crossing. It was an old animation work called "Princess Mononoke". Some of the settings in this animation are very similar to the world view of Sekiro, and many wolf scholars believe that it is the inspiration for many elements in Sekiro. And there is a mountain beast god "Qilin" in it, which is in charge of life and death and resentment. Although the specific setting of Qilin is very different from the land god in the world view of Sekiro, after Wolf's reminder, Li You still thought that maybe the "land god" of Ashina really has the ability to absorb resentment? At least, it is a direction to try. So, after Li You took the fragrant water lotus, he rushed back to Ashina Castle without stopping and found Yingma. Yingma was also a little surprised after hearing Li You's question. However, considering that this might save the Buddhist sculptor, she still said that she would look through the ancient records to see if there is any relevant content. Li You then called the former general of the foot soldiers. This captain-level samurai basically became his mouthpiece. Li You asked the general of the foot soldiers to bring the old woman of Otemon to the castle tower.
But this time, the general of the foot soldiers returned empty-handed. "Master Li You, the maid has disappeared at some point, and no one has seen her recently." Li You was stunned. Mysterious disappearance? What's the matter? Is she really the old thief incarnate, and took the script? Li You pondered for a moment, and still ordered the general of the foot soldiers to search for the maid in the city, and then let him withdraw. Ying Ma still needs time to search for ancient books, and although the inner court will send troops to harass from time to time, there is no intention of a large-scale attack, so now he can do his own thing first. And there is a high priority in Li You's plan, which is to take the wolf to run around the entire map of Ashina Kingdom and collect some useful things. After all, there are gods and ghosts in the world of Sekiro, so there are still many valuable special props hidden in it. At present, Li You has actually run through most of the Ashina country except for the Palace of Origin. The only areas left are the Misty Forest and the Aquatic Village. He will go there later, but there is no rush now. Because the wolf let go of the decapitated lion ape, he should be guarding his nest at this moment, and the nest is located on the only way to the Misty Forest. Considering that the lion ape is likely to be useful, Li You does not plan to kill him for the time being. So, Li You first asked Aggie to call the perception night demon transformed by the leader of the Lone Shadow Clan and asked him about the situation. The current two perception night demons, the Lone Shadow Clan Taidaozu Night Demon, and the Lone Shadow Clan Night Demon who was responsible for purchasing, each have their own tasks. Taidaozu was sent to Xianfeng Temple by Li You, and his task was to find the contemporary Xianfeng Shangren, so that Li You could get the information of the Black Undying Slash. At present, Taidaozu is still in Kongo Mountain and has not yet harvested anything. So the only one who came was the purchasing clerk Lone Shadow Clan Night Demon. Before, Li You gave this guy the jar of Praka Black Water, and asked him to add some ingredients to the Buddha Candy and send it back to the inner court. After that, he didn't care about it, and didn't know whether it went smoothly. Li You was a little surprised by this question. It turned out that after accepting Li You's task, this Night Demon transformed by the Lone Shadow went back and used his brain.
After thinking about it, he felt that according to his understanding of the inner court, if he just gave the Buddha Candy to the inner court, he would definitely not be able to deceive them. So, he changed his mind and found a Ranba Ninja who had done business with the inner court before-Hei Li Zhi He. The Lone Shadow Night Demon paid a high reward to buy off Hei Li Zhi He, and then handed the Buddha Candy with ingredients to Hei Li Zhi He, and sold it to the inner court at a high price through him. In this way, he successfully dispelled the suspicion of the inner court and made the plan successful. After the Buddha Candy mixed with Praka Black Water was sent back to the inner court, it successfully caused a small chaos. Although the Plaka Black Water is also a product of Plaka infection, if it is swallowed directly, it will not cause Plaka to parasitize, but will only make the drinker crazy. Because of this characteristic, the Lone Shadows and Red Guards in the Inner Palace Army who got the Buddha Candy fell into a frenzy after using the Buddha Candy, attacking and even biting without distinguishing between friend and foe. This scene happened several times during the harassment of the Red Guards and the Lone Shadows trying to sneak into Ashina Castle, which once again caused a considerable loss of the backbone of the Inner Palace Army. Only then was the clue finally discovered. Finally, the general of the Inner Palace ordered that the soldiers and generals in the army were prohibited from using Buddha Candy again. Although it was a pity that more than half of the backbone of the Inner Palace were not killed, such a result had already made Li You quite satisfied. After all, in this era, middle and lower-level officers are one of the foundations of the operation of an army. Their heavy losses are a major weakening of the strength of the Inner Palace Army. As for why he chose the milder Plaka Black Water instead of the T virus or Harlan virus, the reason is very simple, because the latter two viruses are too contagious and uncontrollable. Let alone whether Li You's conscience is acceptable, in the world of Sekiro, he is afraid that he will turn into a ghost or Shura in the middle of the night after just poisoning. In short, the strategy of adding sugar to Buddha was quite successful. The general of the inner court was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he could do nothing about it. It was even more impossible to send troops to attack Xianfeng Temple. He could only swallow this bitter fruit. However, the performance of the Lone Shadow leader sensing the Night Demon this time made Li You realize that he still underestimated the new function of the Night Demon's nest. After all, it was a special ability stimulated by the birth of the Night Demon Queen, and its strength was actually beyond doubt. Being able to forcibly transform the enemy into a servant who obeys his orders and can retain most of his intelligence and memory is an incredible ability. Even Li You, after realizing this, subconsciously had an idea in his mind: If I throw all the Ashina soldiers into the pool to turn them into Perceptive Night Demons, then the Imperial Household Army and the like can be turned into Perceptive Night Demons with a wave of my hand... Thinking of the Perceptive Night Demons that covered the sky and the sun, wearing armor, holding weapons such as samurai swords, spears, and muskets, charging at the Red Guards on the battlefield, Li You smiled at first, and then shook his head. If this really happens, he will become a big demon king, and then I'm afraid that Wolf and Isshin will unite to chop him down. Besides, Li You would never do such a thing. Putting aside those messy thoughts, Li You smiled and nodded to the Lone Shadow Night Demons, asking him to return to the nest to guard. Now there are a total of 22 Night Demons, including two Perceptive Night Demons. Generally speaking, Li You and Aiji did not stay near the nest. Even though Aiji, the queen of the night demons, could speed up the hatching speed of the nest when she was near the nest, Li You only asked her to stay at the entrance of the dungeon when she had nothing to do during the day, and she could leave at night. Strictly follow the eight-hour work system. However, other night demons did not have such good treatment. In addition to leaving a few night demons and a sensing night demon to guard the nest at any time, the other night demons were sent out to work. Some hunted wild beasts in Mount Kongo, some dug soil in the poisonous swamp at the bottom of Ashina, and some built in the depths of the dungeon. Let’s not talk about the hunters. The diggers are literally responsible for digging out the soil in the poisonous swamp at the bottom of Ashina and bringing it back to the nest. The core of the night demon nest accepts almost any form of energy. It not only does not reject these highly toxic soils, but also absorbs them with particularly high efficiency. So now, every day, several night demons go back and forth between the abandoned dungeon and the bottom of Ashina, busy digging soil to provide energy for the nest. Then, the poisonous soil that has been drained of energy by the core of the nest becomes ordinary sand, and is finally used as building materials by the night demons responsible for infrastructure.
In addition to spitting acid, the night demons can also secrete a kind of mucus. Mixing this mucus with sand is a strong building material. The night demons used these materials and some old wood from Genichirō to build a layer of camouflage outside the nest. Now, if you just enter the abandoned dungeon, you can't see the appearance of the night demon's nest. The night demons have covered the entire second floor of the dungeon. And not only the nest, they also renovated the cave where the seven-faced warriors are located according to Li You's requirements. As for the content of the renovation, it is simple, just to make it easier for ordinary people to move. After all, the place of relocation is the hub connecting the bottom of Ashina. If the infrastructure here is well built, it will be more convenient for Li You and his friends to go to Shuisheng Village, and for the Snake Eyes Clan to travel between their hometown and Ashina Castle. After confirming that these miscellaneous matters were progressing in an orderly manner, Li You was relieved. Then, he took Wolf with him and began his journey around the territory of Ashina. … In Ashina Castle, outside the valley behind the White Snake Shrine. Li You and Wolf came to the abandoned Soul-Calming Tomb. This is where Xiao and the lonely shadows of the inner court sneaked into the city. And here, there is a deep pool of water. Swimming into the interior along the pool is the Soul-Calming Tomb. In this dim cave, a tall ghost figure who is almost naked, with yellow and white skin, holding a worn-out sword, and with no head on his neck and only a blood hole, is standing in the center of the four tombs. Around it, the miasma visible to the naked eye almost condenses into substance and flows along the ground. The second elite ghost enemy in the game, the headless! That's right, the headless is Li You's next target. Although he has to help Ashina resist the inner palace, help the wolf to stop dying, and save the Buddha sculptor as much as possible, he is indeed very busy, but he can't fall behind in strengthening himself. Apart from anything else, if he has the abilities of Devil May Cry Dante or God of War Kratos, does he still need to be busy now? The inner palace red-armored army, right? I rushed into the center of the army alone, and the whole camp was overturned by you. Sakura Dragon, right? Absorbing other people's vitality, right? I'll just push it to the ground and beat it until it realizes that Ashina is more dangerous than the mainland, and it will roll back in disgrace. Don't roll? If you don't roll, I'll pull out your tendons and use them as a belt! Ahem, I'm getting off topic. Li You retracted his thoughts and looked at the headless in the distance. There are a total of five... no, strictly speaking, there are six headless in the game, and the last one can transform into an illusion, which is equivalent to two. Each headless creature is a powerful warrior who died with hatred. Each will drop a spirit control technique that can be used actively, that is, it does not consume Buddha candy. For hamster players like Li You, this is undoubtedly a good thing. However, in the game, the props for the headless falling sword to control the spirit and descend are rather strange. According to the item description, it is the headless "remnant soul" and has no entity. So Li You initially thought about whether he would find nothing dropped after being headless... Fortunately, after trying it, Li You found that this was not the case. He put his hand on his chest, holding the prop that had been his trump card since the beginning of the biochemical world. [Soul Pendant (Special Accessory/Enhancement)]
[Item introduction: A pendant containing special soul power can memorize any two magics. The wearer can release these magics without using a catalyst. When releasing, it will consume mental power. 】 [System Notes: The pendant has absorbed the power of the remnant soul of a powerful spirit body and has been strengthened. It can release the strange spirit-controlling technique engraved in the remnant soul. 】 [Current memory spell: Soul Spear/None yet. 】 [Remnant Soul Inscription: The Royal Spirit of Humhu descends. 】 The headless wolf in the soul-soaking tomb in front of him was already the second wolf that Li You and the wolf had faced off against. As for the first one, you can tell by looking at the spirit-controlling technique engraved in the soul pendant that it is the Lord Tenshu, the one in the Ashina Castle water pool is headless. Although Li You and Lang have not yet gone to the aquatic village and have not been able to defeat the phantom monk and obtain the art of underwater breathing, the water pool at the castle is really shallow. Li You can hit the underwater monsters standing on the shore. head. Even if the bullet passes through the water, its kinetic energy will be greatly reduced, but Li You's anti-material sniper rifle has unlimited bullets! Therefore, Li You used an anti-material sniper rifle on the shore to grind the underwater headless for more than ten minutes. Finally, he determined that it could no longer hold up, and then he let the wolf hold his breath and pounce down, taking it away with a knife. Then, the wolf said that he seemed to have touched the headless remnant soul, and learned the spirit-controlling technique of Hum Hu on his own. Other than that, Headless drops nothing. Just when Li You thought he would get no benefit, the soul pendant on his chest began to heat up. He took it out and saw that the pendant had been strengthened. This time Li You was really happy. OK! So good! You must know that according to the game settings, although the technique of controlling spirits and descending is powerful, its effectiveness is far beyond what ordinary people can bear. If you don't prepare the corresponding "compensation object", you will easily fall into madness after repeated use. This is also the reason why Li You had a lot of Buddhist candies before, but he basically didn't eat them. He didn't have much confidence in his mental toughness. But now, the headless remnant soul has been absorbed by the soul pendant, and the corresponding spirit-controlling technique has been engraved in the pendant. This means that he only needs to consume mental power to use the spirit-controlling technique without any side effects. Technique. So Li You made up his mind at that time, no one of the five leaderless Wei Ming could even think of running away! So he immediately pulled the wolf to the soul-suppressing tomb and started looking for trouble for the second headless one. At this stage, he could find only three leaderless ones in total, and the one in front of him was the strongest among them. Li You and Lang looked at each other, then took out the flying sacred paper and sprinkled it on themselves. The two of them were immediately wrapped in a purple light! The wolf took a step forward, stepping on the thick miasma that hindered its movement, and headed straight away without a leader. Li You picked up the anti-equipment sniper rifle. Under the influence of the flying snow of God, the body of the rifle was also filled with purple energy, and you could even see rising purple fire at the muzzle. It was full of strength and appearance. Even Li You was satisfied. So he half-knelt on the ground, picked up the gun, and shot the headless man not far away! The purple flame instantly turned into a shooting star, hitting the headless chest! "puff--!!" The anti-material sniper rifle blessed by the flying snow of God also added the damage of divine flames to its original power. With one shot, it knocked him headless and staggered, and he almost fell down. But Headless immediately stood upright and let out an echoing howl from his neck!
"Woo——!!!" Its entire body swayed greatly, and it drew circles in the air with its upper body. As it moved, the remaining black hair at the break of its neck flew out from the body, like bloodthirsty fish, swooping towards Li You. But this kind of attack was naturally impossible to hit Li You. He rolled twice on the spot and dodged all the long-haired attacks. Then he raised his gun and fired another shot at the headless right arm holding the knife. ! "Woo——!!!" No blood was spilled, but Headless was clearly wounded and enraged. However, at this time, the wolf had broken through the restrictions of the thick miasma and came to it. Kakimaru stabbed towards the headless back heart with the blue-purple flames blessed by the gods! The headless reaction was also very fast. It immediately gave up on Li You, turned around quickly, and slashed at the wolf behind. The wolf quickly changed his sword, and Kedimaru blocked it, deflecting the headless, heavy and resentful attack with incomparable accuracy. "clang--!!" Because the parry was perfect, the wolf was not even affected by the headless resentment at all. Instead, he swung several knives in succession, and the purple flames left large burning and cutting marks on the headless chest and abdomen! "Ugh——!" Headless howled again. It suddenly twisted its body greatly, and the tattered sword in its hand danced accordingly, drawing a big circle around its body. Immediately, the headless figure slowly disappeared. The wolf had never seen this move before, so he couldn't help but be stunned and stood on guard. Li You shouted: "Be careful behind you, it will attack from behind!" With that said, Li You planned to aim at the wolf's rear. But at this moment, a piercing chill suddenly hit from behind. Li You trembled all over, and rolled forward twice without hesitation. Then he raised his hand, the grappling hook popped out, and pulled him far away! At the moment of flying, Li You felt a cold ghost hand passing through his lower back, and missed by a hair's breadth. Li You landed, and then he trembled all over, and even staggered. Where he was originally squatting, Wu Shou had already revealed his figure, making a "woohoo" roar. Li You broke out in a cold sweat: NMD, I almost got my asshole jade taken out! Your uncle Wu Shou, you didn't sneak attack the wolf, but came to steal my back! ? You don't have martial ethics! In a rage, Li You threw away the anti-material sniper rifle directly, with a samurai sword in one hand and a primitive gun in the other. Both weapons were wrapped with divine purple fire! He looked at Wushou and shouted: "You damned monster, come and try your grandfather Li's Ashina swordsmanship!" I'll update a little bit first, and try to send the second update before one o'clock.
