"Then the old man is relieved." Shibamon Eri said, "Ichiro asked to give you the family heirloom sword when he woke up this morning. The old man was a little embarrassed because he didn't know if you were worthy of the sword."
Dengdengdeng.
There was a series of hurried footsteps, and Katsumi Shibamon walked out of the room and said hastily, "Old woman, is this how you slander me in front of the guests?"
The old man was old, but his movements were not slow. According to the Shibamon brothers, he was much better than the Imaya family in the village.
Katsumi Shibamon held a black scabbard in his hand. He came up to the two men and handed it to Li Mo: "Dear guest, this knife is for you. Just consider it as a thank you gift for bringing Ichiro back.
I just gave it a light sharpening. This knife hasn't been used for decades, but it's still sharp."
Li Mo took off the scabbard, grasped the handle and pulled it out, and the sharp blade appeared in front of him.
"The name of this sword is the Ame-me-kage-tachi, right?"
"Yes, sir," said Shibamon Eri, "The last time I used it was when I was young and out on the road."
Shibamon Katsumi said, "I still have some of the things I need when I was young. Do you want them?"
Shibamon Eri retorted: "The utensils you had at that time were no longer usable. How dare you give them away as a gift?"
Li Mo smiled as he watched the two bickering. It sounded like they were arguing, but there was no sign of a quarrel in their eyes. The relationship between the two was really good.
He drank the porridge, feeling the heat pulsating in his body. He was still confused about the task of clearing the customs, but he had a preliminary plan for what to do next.
First, go and contact Miss Hanasari. If not, go to Inazuma Castle. Either a world quest or a demon quest.
Jingle Bell--!
Jingle Bell--!
This is the sound of bells ringing.
Li Mo observed that the expressions of the two old men changed and became much more serious all of a sudden.
"what happened?"
"Sir, this is the alarm that the village is under attack. No, old woman, I have to go out and check, Ichiro and Jiro are still outside." Katsumi Shibamon stood up and said.
"I'll go." Li Mo stood up.
My luck was so bad that I was attacked on the second day after I arrived.
It was normal for a village to be attacked. Even a city as powerful as Mondstadt could be attacked—although it was said to be attacked by the Abyss Cult. But it was enough to prove that this world was not actually stable.
"Guest, please put on your hat."
"Thank you."
Li Mo, wearing a bamboo hat, stepped into the rain.
Li Mo knew where the fields of Konda Village were. On the way back, Shibamon Ichiro talked to him for a long time. This village started out as an agricultural village, and at its peak, many violet melon trees were planted. But with the implementation of the isolation order, there were no foreign merchants to buy violet melon flowers for dyeing, and this place declined a lot.
Li Mo found the Shibamon brothers, who were standing at the edge of the village in front of the crowd. In front of them, a warrior of considerable age was holding a knife to deal with the attacking monsters - the Hillockmen.
"Who is that?"
"It's Uncle Teshima. He used to be a samurai."
Li Mo listened to Shibamon Ichiro's explanation, and he looked at the uncle fighting in the rain, and saw the Eye of God worn on his waist.
Was this the first time I saw the Eye of God in reality?
The monsters that attacked Konda Village were a group of hillbillies, all of them were the lowest level, thugs with sticks. If one of these hillbillies were alone, a strong adult man could handle it.
"That's not right. The Hilichuls often gather in tribes. Even though ordinary Hilichuls have low intelligence, the Hilichu shamans in the tribe are wise. How could they make such an unreasonable attack?" said Ichiro Shibamon.
He used to live in the wild for a long time, and the ones he dealt with most often were slimes and hillbillies. As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your enemy. Shibamon Ichiro is not a scholar who specializes in studying hillbillies, but at least he understands the logic of their attacks.
"I'm going to help."
Li Mo left a word and rushed over.
Teshima is very strong, and the fact that he has the Eye of God is enough to prove it. But after all, he is old, his hair is already gray, and his physical fitness is not as good as when he was young.
He rushed forward at a very fast speed, killing the remaining hillbillies before the thugs could react.
Even Kairanui was no match for him, let alone these ordinary hillbillies.
"Are you the guest who came back with the Shibata family's children yesterday?"
"Yes. Uncle Teshima."
"Well, be careful. I always feel something is wrong. Why would such a group of Hilichurls rush over from this direction? Maybe there will be reinforcements." Teshima said.
Li Mo must be familiar with reinforcements. Wave after wave, always the story of Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather. But that was in the game. In reality, this kind of behavior is a round-robin battle.
The place where Li Mo and Teshima are now is the east side of the village. If memory serves me right, there is indeed a daily task of clearing out the hill people in this direction - of course, it is only a rough estimate.
The interval was too long, making his memory a lot more blurred.
Soon, just as Teshima said, reinforcements arrived, but among the hillbillies, there was obviously a monster that didn't fit in with the style of the painting.
"Abyss Mage? Why would the Abyss Mage control the Hillichouls to attack Konda Village?"
Doubts arose in Li Mo's mind.
Chapter 88 "Secret Sword: Swallow Returns"
Abyss Mage, seeing this kind of monster, Li Mo thought of the Abyss Cult. And the Abyss Cult has a great relationship with Kanreya, which was destroyed by the gods five hundred years ago. But when it comes to the Abyss Cult, we have to say...
So, is the leader of the Abyss Cult a princess or a prince?
The Abyss Mage in front of him made Li Mo think a lot. But on second thought, not all Abyss Mages must obey the orders of the Abyss Cult.
"Uncle Teshima, can you still fight?"
"Okay, but I can't destroy the Abyss Mage's water-attributed shield in a short time." Teshima said.
The Abyss Mage is of water attribute, which is just right for this kind of weather. Uncle Teshima's Eye of God is of purple lightning attribute, which is also the attribute possessed by General Inazuma.
Very good. At least it's not fire or water. The former has limited function in this kind of weather, and the latter simply can't react to the elements.
"Then leave the rest of the trash to me."
Teshima and Li Mo rushed forward at the same time, Teshima charged blindly, aiming at the Abyss Mage. He knew that the rest of the Hill Cullets would be killed by Li Mo.
And Li Mo did just that. When Teshima rushed towards the Abyss Mage, the other Hillocks tried to stop him. Even creatures with low IQ like the Hillocks knew that the Mage could not fight in close combat. Fortunately, Li Mo was right next to him.
These hillbillies are all small fry.
Li Mo was best at killing small fish. Hill people were just like humans, with one head, two hands, and two legs. Their body structures were almost the same, so the skills he had honed were completely effective. It was just that the average height of the hill people was much shorter, but he could just adjust the angle himself.
Then, at the same time, the heads of several hillbillies flew into the air.
In a short time, Li Mo turned into a ruthless killing machine. The Japanese sword in his hand could always cut the delicate neck of the hill man at the most delicate angle, and then he could take away a life with a slight force of his arm.
At this time, he found that there were dozens of hillocks coming to reinforce him, many of whom were holding torches. These hillocks often rushed over waving torches when they were at a certain distance.
What the hell is this torch? Why can it still burn in the rain? This is unscientific.
Uncle Teshima has approached the Abyss Mage, and his divine eyes are shining under the rain.
What I need to do is to create a battlefield where Uncle Teshima will not be disturbed. Then...
Looking at the hillil people rushing towards him, especially those charging hillil people, waving the torches in their hands during the charge, careful observation revealed a certain charm in them.
It turns out that it's not just random waving!
Li Mo thought of a joke, that is, the posture of these charging hillbillies was like using "God of Fire Kagura". So they were teased to be using Sun Breathing.
Really, I'm still thinking about these things during the battle... Don't you feel any pressure at all? I should be more serious.
His breathing pulse was steady, Li Mo lowered the hat on his head, and every cell in his body was cheering.
"Breath of the Sun—"
"Fire Dance!"
The dance of blessing offered to the gods, the "Kagura of the God of Fire", which is as beautiful as the dance of elves, stirs the fire element and waves it towards the hillfolk.
"Breath of the Sun" can also stir up the fire element. But it is still a little bit worse than the real Eye of God. Not to mention, it is still a rainy day, and the rain falling from the sky puts the fire element at a disadvantage.
There should be a being who can burn the sky and boil the sea, but it is obvious that Li Mo is not that kind of devil-like character.
But even without the help of the fire element, his sword is sharp enough.
The rain continued to fall. There was even a sign that it was getting heavier. This was not very helpful to Teshima, who had the Lightning God's Eye, but it was beneficial to the Water Abyss Mage.
The enemy grows stronger while we remain the same; the balance of victory no longer remains in a balanced state.
Old.
Teshima could clearly feel that his strength had declined due to aging. His swordsmanship was even stronger than before, but his physical decline made him far less capable than when he was young in life-and-death battles.
He dodged sideways, avoiding the Abyss Mage's bubble. If you are trapped in a bubble, there is not much oxygen inside. You have to break the bubble before you can't breathe. But, to be honest, it's difficult.
Then, he saw the Abyss Mage's water bullet attack, and he had to retreat at this time.
But after fighting till now, can I move forward again? There is no one else who can replace me. Although that young man can mobilize a certain amount of fire element, it is not enough. Yasuda should go and inform the people of Tianling Bugyo. Really...
I hope I can go back and continue waiting.
Teshima adjusted his stance, preparing to charge again.
But there was someone faster than him.
The little friend he mentioned, Li Mo, rushed to the front of the Abyss Mage. Only then did Teshima realize that his speed was faster than his own! Even faster than when he was young.
But... you need to use elemental reaction to break the elemental mage's shield as quickly as possible. How much fire element can your swordsmanship mobilize?
Mobilizing elements is not something that only those with the Eye of God can do. Teshima knows that the sea ghosts in the wild can use spells to mobilize elements. But the question is, how many elements can they mobilize?
Li Mo didn't know what Teshima was thinking. He wasn't going to do that. If he had studied the battle on Renlian Island last night and had obtained the thunder attribute spell from Hai Rangui Lei Teng, he would have used the elemental reaction to break the shield now.
But he chose another path.
It's not that a basic attack can't break a shield. If it can't break a shield, then it must be because you don't have enough strength!
Suddenly, the world slowed down in front of Li Mo. Even the falling of raindrops became so slow.
The thirteen forms of "Breathing of the Sun" are aimed at completely blocking a person from all directions, an airtight attack. "Secret Sword: Return of the Swallow" also has a similar effect.
But the former always had gaps, while the latter attacked the same target from three directions at almost the same time.
——Is it possible that the trajectories of the three swords completely overlap in the end?
