Chapter 257 256. Immortal Insects
The Immortal Buddhas of Senbo Temple are indeed as Kurokasa no Raccoon said - they are very evil.
At this time, the ninja wearing a black iron hat was squatting on the window sill of the side hall with his mouth pursed, looking like he was ready to dodge and fly away at any time.
In the palace, Lan En gently shook the sword in his hand with just enough force, so that the sword oil on it fully covered the blade.
“Is this how you used to hunt monsters? It looks very crude.”
Kurokasa no Tanuki tried his best to make his words tactful, but he, a ninja who had practiced martial arts since childhood, had a shitty literary quality. The words that were said still went straight to the heart.
Lan Enxin said that the demon hunter has many methods, but when encountering new types of monsters, shouldn't he try them all?
You just hit them all at once?
I’ve never heard of anyone working like this.
He wanted to find justice for these people who lost their lives due to Xianfeng Temple, but after all, this was a professional and technical job.
It's not just a matter of having a hot head.
Whether it is the magical world or this world, what you need to get things done are real experts, not 'heroes' who are hot-headed but know nothing.
He just happened to do some tests on this instant Buddha, which was already like a rotten tree.
"The first is [Insect-like Bio-Oil]."
Lan En has noticed that the immortal bodies of these Buddhas seem to be supported by centipedes in their bodies.
Ashina Isshin and Kurokasa, who knew a little about the inside story, also called these people "Insect Possessed".
So he first took out the sword oil specially designed to deal with insects.
The demon hunter slowly approached the sitting Buddha with a shiny knife.
Suddenly, in the dilapidated monk's robes and decaying flesh, there was a sound similar to the friction of insect carapace.
The sound of ‘Xixixusuosuo’ makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lan En didn't even think about it, and instinctively reacted sideways to block.
As the wind roared, shining sparks suddenly shot out from the knife, and a thick black shadow was deflected directly by [Dengli].
And when the black shadow slowed down due to losing its initial speed, the black tanuki on the window sill on one side saw its face.
——That was a huge centipede as thick as an ordinary human waist that emerged from the back of the dead tree-like Buddha!
It was retracting its body at this time, circling around the body of the Buddha, and raising its head to face Lan En.
The image is like a snake coiled on a rockery.
But the deterrent power of a centipede insect enlarged to such a scale is not at the same level as the degree of discomfort in human hearts.
The ninja on the window sill twitched his legs and almost flew to the branches outside the window reflexively.
As an expert, the demon hunter was not shocked by this situation that was beyond ordinary people's cognition.
Just kidding.
Not to mention the factor of extraordinary power, a centipede of this size can hold up to twenty orons in the magic world's demon hunting mission.
Among the many monsters Lan En knew, it was not the most ugly.
The witcher didn't pay attention to its appearance and its speed, which was barely considered good just now.
The cat's eye instead stared at one of its smoking joints.
The [Climbing Carp] just now was not only used for defense, but the blade actually cut off one of the opponent's feet.
But under a burst of super-fast regenerating smoke, the targeted toxin of [Insectoid Bio-oil] was easily resisted by the opponent.
This is not right.
"Sir, strictly speaking, centipedes are not insects, but arthropods. Even ordinary species can live up to seven or eight years, and their life span is far longer than the average of insects."
After Mentos recorded the data, he reminded Lan En.
The young man said he received it. He was not discouraged. Facing a new monster, being able to try it slowly like this was considered an ideal situation among demon hunters.
According to records, many demon hunters were eaten by monsters due to insufficient intelligence or false knowledge.
Next, Lan En tried the burning effect of [Igni Sign] and a regular [North Wind] bomb.
The burning effect is surprisingly bad. This centipede that gives people the power of immortality doesn't care about fire at all.
According to the Eastern world view, this may be because centipede toxins are fire poisons in the Five Elements Theory.
On the contrary, the freezing effect of [North Wind] frost can make it sluggish for ten minutes without getting better.
According to Mentos' quantitative analysis, it will take at least forty minutes for the centipede to regain its vitality.
There, the Kurokasa Raccoon saw Lan En using many methods, but none of them seemed to have a decisive effect.
He pursed his lips, ready to say that he should go find the Immortal Slash. He is a ninja and can find things very quickly if he really wants to.
But then, he saw Lan En approaching the undead insect who was listless and tortured by the frost, and raised the knife in his hand.
"Crack!" There was a sound of broken chitin, and the centipede's black blood spattered out. However, under the influence of the frost, it did not burst out in pain, but only twisted its disgusting body twice.
Then under the surprised gaze of Kurokasa no Raccoon, not only the centipede's twists became smaller and smaller, but also the Buddha who was regarded as a 'pedestal'. The withered and stiff body also tilted its head and slowly collapsed inward, just like a sand sculpture whose structure was destroyed.
“Dead, dead?!”
Kurougasa no Raccoon really jumped off the window sill this time, cautiously approaching the trace that was crumbling into dust.
“You really killed the undead bug!”
Lan En's face was dull. He held the shiny knife in front of him and looked at it, frowning slightly.
【Residual Oil】.
Remnants refer to ancient creatures with extraordinary power in the magical world, mostly chaotic magic.
It is very different from characters such as ghouls, water ghosts, and swamp witches. Although these things are somewhat beyond the abilities of mortals, most of them are based on physical superiority.
The chaos magic power in them is really not much, and it is really not strong.
But the remnants are quite different.
Their basic configuration is to possess magic, or physical strength that exceeds the limits of muscles and body size. These are all derived from their very strong supernatural powers.
Such as deer-headed spirits, female monsters, etc.
The sword oil made by the demon hunter for these creatures not only has the most severe toxicity among all sword oils, but is also specific to extraordinary powers.
Lan En is at the end, and the sword oil applied to the sword is [residue oil].
And in the end, it lived up to expectations. This undead insect can indeed be regarded as a creature with strong extraordinary power.
Even if they are restrained, they will still die.
But Lan En frowned slightly, which meant that there was still something difficult to handle.
【Residual oil】is very expensive. But this was not taken lightly by Lan En.
He can usually worry about money, but when he is determined to seek justice for Kotaro, Taro Bing, and more people, money is not something he takes seriously at all.
If he wanted money, Count Stesa would be able to touch his head right now.
Foltest can only give him five thousand orens as a private person, but Count Stesa has the power to win over him in order to save his own life, so he can give him at least half a million!
But when he smashed that noble head, he still didn't hesitate at all.
The key now is that he really doesn’t have much [residue oil] with him.
It’s something that you can’t even buy with money.
