The leaves are moving.
There was no wind at the moment, so why were the leaves moving? Someone must have touched the leaves. Makoto's attention was instantly drawn, and her hand was on her Sun Blade.
A dark shadow jumped down from the tree and Zhengu drew his sword.
——But someone is faster than her.
Another sun blade swung in the air, creating a beautiful curve that just passed through the demon's neck. After a while, the beheaded demon's body fell to the ground, turning into ashes without leaving any debris.
"The first one, it's comfortable to have the Sun Blade. It feels great now."
As a cheating player, you can kill monsters to level up and add attribute points, but you can only rely on training to strengthen. How painful it is. It's like you have entered the main god space, and you don't need to use evolution points to strengthen, but you can only train yourself.
——Isn’t that uncomfortable?
Under these conditions, Li Mo persisted. He often went into the mountains to hunt to see if he could provide experience. Then he found that ordinary animals did not provide experience. Only animals that could threaten him, such as brown bears, could provide a little experience, really just a little.
But ghosts are different.
Ghosts can provide a lot of experience. Li Mo was able to reach level 2 by relying on the experience of two ghosts.
More ghosts means more experience.
The ghosts on Tengxi Mountain are all selected ghosts with ordinary strength. Li Mo doesn't believe that he will fail, even if it is the hand ghost, he is fully confident.
Having mastered "Full Concentration Breathing: Constant High", his strength has surpassed the demons here by a level.
"Really? Why are you walking so fast?"
Zhen Gu understood that what the other party said a few days ago about letting him win during actual combat training was true.
At that speed, she couldn't even see clearly.
Really, can he swing the knife so fast? Is the distance between him and me so far?
Zhen Gu, who was following Li Mo, thought to himself.
……
……
The night of killing has begun. For ghosts, from today on, it will be a seven-day feast, provided that they can successfully hunt and not be killed by their prey.
But for Li Mo, ghosts are prey.
Li Mo once heard a saying: When the profit is 100%, the capitalists can trample on all the laws of the world. Today, he finally understands the value of this saying.
He felt like he was going crazy killing people, and although he couldn't see the experience bar, he felt like he was leveling up several times as he killed people all the way.
"Hey, Li Mo. Are you sick? Why are you so excited?"
With each slash of the knife, another ghost died in his hands. These ghosts originally wanted to come here to eat buffet, but they didn't expect to be hunted by Li Mo instead.
As the ghosts were beheaded one by one and then turned to ashes, Li Mo's expression was particularly happy, just like you were constipated for a whole night and finally resolved the battle.
Cool!
However, this expression was seen by Zhengu, and the girl showed a look of disgust. After saying the above words, she felt that Mr. Li seemed to have a seizure today.
"Makomo, you have no idea how great it feels to use the Nichirin Sword given to you by Urokodaki-san to behead a demon and have him die instantly."
I can't tell her that I can gain experience by killing ghosts. So I'll tell her about my other feelings.
Finally, I don't have to face the disgusting blood lock of the ghost. Isn't this worth being happy about?
Li Mo's joyful mood was not lacking in this.
"indeed."
This junior brother had killed two demons before he got the Nichirin Sword. Even though one of them was killed by Gyoumei in a weakened state, it was already very powerful for the junior brother to be able to beat the demon into a weakened state. It was normal for him to be so happy to be able to kill the demon so smoothly.
Zhengu thought for a moment, then continued, "Well, Junior Brother, have you ever thought about when to take a break?"
"I have killed eleven ghosts today. I will find a place to rest when I get twenty. I will trouble Zhen Gu to help me then!" Li Mo said after counting.
"Only ten."
Zhen Gu thought, you look so energetic. You don't look like someone who needs help. I even doubt that you can carry a knife and kill people from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. You didn't rest the whole night.
"What? Only ten. Did I count wrong?" Li Mo counted again, and it seemed to be true. One of them was killed by Zhen Gu.
Immediately, he said seriously: "It doesn't matter, the eleventh one is here."
The demons on Fujiki Mountain were all captured by the Demon Slayer Corps and thrown here. They were so arrogant that they would rush up to anyone they saw without considering whether they would be killed.
To this end, their actions were all fair and square, especially when two people gathered together, the ghosts rushed over like cats seeing catnip.
Come to think of it, after being hungry for many days, you definitely cannot refuse the braised pork and rice in front of you.
What reflects the ghosts' urgency is that Li Mo can always hear the sounds of their movements.
"You're making such a blatant noise, aren't you afraid that we'll find out? When animals are hunting, they know to be careful and not make any noise." Li Mo complained.
Zhen Gu's expression became serious. Such a commotion must have been quite large, but Li Mo himself seemed very relaxed.
The real person soon appeared in front of the two. It was a ghost as big as a hill, round and bulging like a fallen rock, but its body was not made up of pure flesh and blood, but arms.
In this regard, Li Mo gave his most pertinent evaluation.
"How disgusting."
As a ghost, the other party does not depend on Li Mo's evaluation as a human. "Kid, what year is the Meiji era now?"
"I have no idea!"
Zhen Gu felt ashamed when he heard this. His junior fellow apprentice really didn't know the current year number. According to him, what does Guan have to do with me?
The hand ghost was not angry. He said, "What a trouble. I think it must be Meiji. Then I'll kill you. I didn't pay attention before. I didn't expect that there were two little foxes again..."
Before he finished speaking, a fierce attack followed, interrupting the hand ghost's words.
——But it doesn’t matter. He has killed more than one Demon Slayer. If he kills the two in front of him, then that Urokodaki guy…
Through the disaster-eliminating masks on the two men, he already knew the other party's identity. He was Urokodaki's disciple. The hand ghost would never forget that he was defeated by Urokodaki and then captured here for decades.
During the decades from Edo to Meiji, its heart was filled with hatred for Urokodaki all the time. This hatred could only be appeased by killing Urokodaki's disciples.
This year, it wants to kill the two disciples of Urokotaki in front of it!
But the proud and arrogant mood disappeared in the next second, because the hands that were used for defense and attached to the whole body were cut off in an instant and fell to the ground one after another.
Immediately, with the appearance of sparks, the man in front of him seemed like a priest dancing in the midst of a bonfire. Mysterious, majestic, and unseen.
Suddenly, it saw the entirety of its huge body.
Ah——I was beheaded?
How come, so fast?
"We're done. Look, isn't this the eleventh one?"
"Oh, Junior Brother, I see. Also, you acted too quickly this time. I'm curious, what is the little fox it mentioned? Is it a mask to ward off disasters?"
Shinkomo touched the disaster-warding mask on his head that was given to him by Urokodaki-sensei.
"Why do you care about this? I chopped off their heads. Look, they're all reduced to ashes. Let's find a place to rest!"
Soon, after Li Mo's words, Zhen Gu stopped thinking about it - the ghosts were all dead, so what was the point of thinking about it? He wouldn't chase them to hell to ask.
Li Mo was relieved. If he didn't do it in advance, would he let the hand ghost tell him that he had killed many of his brothers? How many people had he eaten in this era? Thirty or forty? Who cares, he killed them anyway. His strength was just that.
Chapter 35 The Trial Ends
Seven days is not too long. It's just the time of opening and closing. During this time, Li Mo was quite happy on the mountain. All the ghosts were killed instantly with one strike. He vaguely remembered that the hand ghost he killed on the first night was the most powerful one on the mountain. But they were too weak, and the feeling of cutting their necks was exactly the same.
The whole process is equivalent to the big guys from the seventh-level world running to the new player world and killing people indiscriminately.
On the last night before he was about to go down the mountain, Li Mo found a puddle and turned on the system. He counted his own gains, and first of all, his life level jumped to "LV5". At the same time, he gained three free attribute points, bringing the total to "four", an unlucky number.
This broken system is useless, and the only function it provides is the full health upgrade function. If it weren't for the fact that it is being repaired, Li Mo would have wanted to uninstall this system.
——Although there is no uninstall button at all.
"Leveling up only gives a few free attribute points. This system is just poorly planned, otherwise I would be criticized to death."
Li Mo muttered to himself, feeling very unhappy. This was not the first time he had criticized his own system. After all, it was a thing without intelligence, and it would not argue back.
"Junior brother, it's time for us to go down the mountain. How long will you take?" Zhen Gu's voice came from afar.
"Coming soon."
Li Mo was given the space to act alone on the pretext of going to the toilet. Today, the "final selection" officially ended. After going through this so-called novice village, Li Mo gained a lot. The level increase was secondary. The most important thing was to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and get his own Nichirin Sword.
From this point of view, Li Mo gained everything. But during these seven days, Li Mo also had his pain.
"Finally, it's finally over. These ghosts are bastards, right? What about the animals on the mountain? Were they all caught and eaten? Seven days' worth of dry food. Seven whole days' worth of dry food!"
After Li Mo and Zhen Gu met, he complained directly. It's not that he can't eat dry food. But if conditions permit, who would want to eat that kind of unpalatable food? Before he went up the mountain, he originally thought that he could hunt in the mountains to improve his food. For this reason, he even had seasonings in his belt.
But in the end, these seasonings were useless. This made him angry. How come there was not even a pheasant in such a big mountain?
"I know, I know. We can have delicious food later. There are quite a few ghosts on the mountain, and all the wild animals have been eaten by them. I don't want to complain." Zhen Gu said.
Ghosts not only feed on humans, but also on the flesh and blood of wild animals. But in the ghost's diet, the flesh and blood of wild animals is similar to tree bark, which can only be said to keep them alive. It is far less delicious than human flesh and blood.
But the ghosts in Teng Xishan can't eat humans, so of course they will eat animals when they are starving.
Li Mo understood this truth, but he was still upset and felt unhappy.
Zhen Gu continued, "If you keep complaining, I'll get annoyed. You've almost swept away all the ghosts in Fujixi Mountain. Aren't you still angry?"
“Actually, I really care about what delicious food to eat.”
"Going into town?"
"Great."
Li Mo and Zhen Gu agreed to go to the city to eat delicious food together. They walked out of Tengxi Mountain together.
"By the way, Junior Brother, I remember that the Sun Wheel Sword in your hand is almost dull, right?" Zhen Gu remembered that Junior Brother had seen too many ghost necks on the mountain this time, causing the blade to become much duller.
It just doesn’t affect his ability to kill with one blow.
"Yeah. But it doesn't matter. Let Mr. Urokotaki handle this matter himself. He will definitely have a solution. I will also change the knife soon, so I don't care." Li Mo said.
After the "Final Selection", you will get your own Nichirin Sword. Since you already have your own exclusive equipment, you don't care about this standard equipment. Anyway, it's not broken, and it's enough to give to Mr. Urokodaki.
