Chapter 199 Soul Pendant, Remnant Soul Engraving

What the wolf said seemed 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 traveling through time.

It was an ancient animated work called "Princess Mononoke".

Some settings in this animation are very similar to the world view of Sekiro, and are considered by many wolf experts to be the source of inspiration for many elements in Sekiro.

And inside, there is a mountain beast god "Qilin", who is in charge of life, death and resentment.

Although the specific setting of Kirin is very different from the land god in Sekiro's world view, after being reminded by the wolf, Li You still thought that maybe Ashina's "land god" really has the ability to absorb resentment?

At least, it's a direction to try.

So, after Li You took the Fangxin water lotus, he rushed back to Ashina City without stopping and found Eima.

After hearing Li You's question, Yingma was also a little surprised.However, considering that this might be able to save the Buddhist sculptor, she still said that she would look through ancient records to see if there was any relevant content.

Li You then called for the former Ashigaru General. This captain-level samurai now basically became his microphone.Li You asked General Ashigaru to bring the old woman from Otemon to the castle tower.

But this time, General Ashigaru returned empty-handed.

"Lord Li You, that maid has disappeared at some point. No one has seen her recently."

Li You was stunned.

Missing mysteriously?Why, is she really the incarnation of an old thief who got the script?
Li You pondered for a moment, and then ordered General Ashigaru to search for the maid in the city, and then asked him to retreat.

It will take time for Yingma to search the ancient books, and although the inner government will send troops to harass him from time to time, they have no intention of launching a large-scale attack. They can do their own thing now.

There is a very high priority thing in Li You's plan, which is to take the wolf on a run around Ashina Country and collect some useful things.

After all, there are gods and ghosts in the world of Sekiro, so there are still many valuable special items hidden in it.

As for Li You, in addition to the Palace of Origin, he has actually traveled through most of Ashina Country, and there are still areas that he has not been to, namely the misty forest and the aquatic village.

I want to go there later, but I'm not in a hurry now.Because the wolf let go of the decapitated lion ape, he should be guarding his lair at this moment, and the lair 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 Ai Ji to call the Sensing Night Demon transformed by the leader of the Guying Sect, and asked him about the situation.

The current two sentient night demons, the Gu Ying Zhong Tai Sword Foot Night Demon, and the Gu Ying Zhong Night Demon who was responsible for purchasing goods at the beginning, each have their own tasks.

Tai Daozu was sent to Xianfeng Temple by Li You. The task was to find the contemporary Xianfeng Master so that Li You could get information about the Black Immortal Slayer.

Currently, Tai Tozu is still in Mount Kumgang and has not yet harvested anything.

So the only ones who came were Gu Ying and the Night Demon, the purchaser.

Previously, Li You gave this one the jar containing Plaka black water, and asked him to add some ingredients to the Buddhist sugar and send it back to the inner palace. After that, he ignored it and did not know whether it went smoothly.

Li You was slightly surprised by this question.

It turned out that this night demon transformed by Gu Yingzhong went back to use his brain after accepting Li You's mission.

After thinking about it, he felt that based on his understanding of the inner palace, if he just gave the Buddha candy to the inner palace, he would definitely not be able to deceive them.So, he changed his mind and found a ninja from the Luanbo people who had done business with the inner government before - Kurokasa no raccoon dog.

The Night Demons of Guying paid a high reward to bribe Black Li's raccoon dog, and then handed the added Buddhist candy into the hands of Black Li's raccoon dog, and sold it to the inner government through him at a high price.

In this way, he successfully dispelled the suspicion of the inner government and made the plan successful.

After the Buddhist candies mixed with Plaka black water were sent back to the inner palace, they successfully caused a moderate chaos.

Although Plaka Black Water is also the product of being infected by Plaka, if swallowed directly, it will not lead to being parasitized by Plaka, but will only make the drinker crazy.

Because of this characteristic, those Gu Yingzhong and Chibei elites in the inner army who had obtained the Buddhist sugar fell into a state of frenzy after using the Buddhist sugar. They attacked wildly without distinguishing between friend and foe, and even bit them.

This kind of scene happened several times during the raids by small groups of Red Army troops and the attempts by the Gu Yingzhong to sneak into Ashina City, which once again caused a lot of losses to the backbone of the Inner Army. Only then did the clues finally come to light. .

Finally, the general of the inner government ordered that soldiers and generals in the army were prohibited from using Buddhist sugar.

Although it was a pity that most of the backbone of the inner palace could not be killed, such results have already made Li You quite satisfied.

After all, in this era, middle and lower-level officers are actually one of the foundations of the operation of an army. Their heavy losses are a major weakening of the strength of the inner government army.

As for why we only chose the milder Plaka Black Water instead of T virus or Harlan virus, the reason is also very simple, because the latter two viruses are too contagious and cannot be controlled.

Not to mention Li You's conscience, he was afraid that he would turn into a ghost or Shura in the middle of the night when he was doing this kind of operation of releasing biochemical virus weapons in the Sekiro world.

In short, the strategy of adding sugar to Buddha was quite successful. The general of the inner government was so angry that he had nothing to do. It was impossible to divide his troops and send people to attack Xianfeng Temple. He could only swallow this bitter pill.

However, the leader of the Lone Shadows sensed the performance of the Night Demon this time, which made Li You realize that he still underestimated the new function of the Night Demon's lair.

After all, it was a special ability inspired by the birth of the Night Demon Queen, and there was no doubt about its strength.The ability to forcibly transform an enemy into a servant who obeys his orders and retains most of his intelligence and memory is quite outrageous.

And even Li You, after realizing this, subconsciously came up with an idea: If I throw all Ashina's soldiers into the pool and turn them into sentient night demons, wouldn't the Inner Army and the like wave their hands? can…

After thinking about the scene of the dark night demon covering the sky, wearing armor, holding weapons such as samurai swords, spears, and muskets, charging towards the Red Army on the battlefield, Li You first smiled, and then He couldn't help but shook his head.

If he does this, he will become a big devil, and then Wolf and Isshin will probably join forces to kill him.Besides, it was impossible for Li You to do such a thing.

Putting aside those messy thoughts, Li You smiled and nodded to the night demons in Lone Shadow, asking him to return to the lair to guard.

There are now 22 Night Demons in total, including two Sensing Night Demons.

Under normal circumstances, Li You and Aiji did not stay near the nest. Even if Aiji, the Queen of Night Demons, could speed up the hatching of the nest when she was near the nest, Li You just let her be fine during the day. When the time comes, stay at the entrance of the dungeon and leave at night.

Strictly follow the eight-hour working day.

However, other night demons are not treated so well.Except for a few night devils and a sentient night devil who were left to guard the lair at any time, the other night devils were sent out to work.

Some are hunting wild beasts in Mount Kumgang, some are digging in the poisonous swamp at the bottom of Ashina, and some are building construction deep in the dungeon.

Not to mention the hunter, the digger is literally responsible for digging out the soil in the Poison Swamp at the bottom of Ashina and bringing it back to the nest.

The core of the Night Demon's lair is open to almost any form of energy. Not only does it not reject the poisonous soil, it even absorbs it very efficiently.

So now, there are several night demons going back and forth between the abandoned dungeon and Ashina Bottom every day, busy digging soil to provide energy for the nest.

Then, the poisonous soil that had been drained of energy by the core of the lair turned into ordinary sand, and was finally used as building materials by the Night Demons responsible for infrastructure construction.

In addition to spitting acid, the night demons can also secrete a kind of mucus. Mix this mucus with sand and soil to form a building material with high strength.

The Night Demons used these materials and some old wood from Genichiro to build a layer of camouflage outside their lair.

Now just entering the abandoned dungeon, you can't see the appearance of the night devil's lair. The night devils have covered the entire second floor of the dungeon.

And not just the lair, they were also modified in accordance with Li You's requirements in the cave where the Seven-faced Warrior was located.

As for the content of the transformation, it is quite simple. It just makes it easier for ordinary people to move around.

After all, the site is the hub connecting the bottom of Ashina. Once the infrastructure here is completed, it will be more convenient for Li You and the others to go to Aquatic Village in the future, and for the Snake Eyes family to travel between their hometown and Ashina City.

After confirming that all these chores were being carried out in an orderly manner, Li You felt relieved.Then, taking only the wolf with him, he started running around Ashina Country.

……

Inside Ashina Castle, outside the valley behind White Snake Shrine.

Li You and Lang came to the abandoned soul-soaking tomb.This is the place where Xiao Xiao and the Neifu Guyingzhong sneaked into the city.And here, there is a deep pool. Swim along the pool and go inside, which is the Soul Tomb.

In this dim cave, a tall ghost figure who was almost naked, with yellowish-white skin, carrying a worn-out sword, and with a headless neck and only a bloody hole on his neck, was standing in the center of four tombs.

Around it, the miasma visible to the naked eye almost condensed into substance, flowing close to the ground.

The second type of elite grudge enemy in the game is leaderless!
Yes, leaderless is Li You's next goal.

Although he is indeed very busy to help Ashina resist the inner government, to help the wolf fight off immortality, and to save the Buddhist sculptor as much as possible, he cannot stop strengthening himself.

Apart from anything else, if he had the abilities of Devil May Cry Dante or God of War Kratos, would he still need to be busy with this and that now?
There is a red army in the inner palace, right?If I rush into the center of the military formation alone, the whole camp will be taken down by you.

Sakuraryu, right?Absorbing the life force of others, right?I just pushed it to the ground and gave it a beating until it realized that Ashina was more dangerous than the mainland and rolled back in dejection.

Don't want to leave?Bugun, I pulled your tendons and used them as belts!

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.Li You retracted his thoughts and looked at Wu Zui in the distance.

There are a total of five in the game... no, strictly speaking, six headless, and the last one can only turn into a phantom, which is equivalent to two.

And each headless one is the transformation of a powerful warrior who died with hatred. Each one will drop a spirit-controlling and descending technique that can be used actively. In other words, it does not consume Buddhist sugar.

For hamster party 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)]

[Introduction to the item: A pendant containing special soul power can memorize any two magics. The wearer can release these magics without using a catalyst, and will consume mental power when releasing them. 】

[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 reach 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 let the wolf hold its 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 rifle's body was also filled with purple energy. 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-equipment sniper rifle blessed by the flying snow of God has superimposed the damage of divine flames on the original power. With one shot, it was knocked headless and staggered, almost falling 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 precision.

"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!
"Woo-!"

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 biting chill suddenly hit him from behind. Li You trembled all over and rolled forward two times without hesitation. Then he raised his hand and the grappling hook popped out, pulling him flying far away!
The moment he flew out, Li You felt a cold ghost hand swipe across his lower back, missing by a hair's breadth.

Li You landed, and then his whole body trembled and even staggered.

Where he was half-crouching, Headless had already appeared and was roaring "Woo-Woo".

Li You broke out in a cold sweat:
NMD, I was almost ripped off!

Your uncle is so leaderless that he can't even sneak up on the wolf, but instead he comes and steals my back! ?

You don't talk about martial arts!
In anger, Li You threw away the anti-material sniper rifle, a samurai sword in one hand, and a primitive gun in the other. Both weapons were wrapped with divine purple fire!

He looked at Headless and shouted:

"You damn monster, come and try your Grandpa Li's Ashina swordsmanship!"

　Update one point first, and try to send out the second update before one o'clock.
