When does this world have a blood bar showing?

"The tree of times, it is indeed magical enough..."

Going back in time, standing not far in front of the main hall of the Niigata Shrine, looking up at the tree that looks exactly the same as it was in the Warring States period five hundred years ago, without any obvious changes, it is very tall and lush. Trees, Gu Mo sighed like this.

In a world shrouded by a full moon in the sky, a dark purple moonlight illuminates the world.

In a time when everything seems to be frozen in amber.

This tree, which seems to be no different from an ordinary tree, is still green and green. When the wind blows, its branches and leaves are lush, and it makes a rustling sound... At first glance, it seems to be very normal. , but in fact it is the most abnormal place.

The wind is abnormal, and the trees are not normal. Of course, the main reason is undoubtedly the latter. The former is probably an additional phenomenon derived from the abnormality of the latter.

"In other words, why is it called the era tree? Is it because its power can span the era?"

Looking at Kikyo next to him, Gu Mo asked curiously.

"Probably so..."

Under the moonlight, she looked even more deserted, the serene shrine maiden stood in front of Yushenmu, she nodded calmly when she heard the words, and said softly: "In Maple Village, Shenmu has existed for a long time, at least before me. It was like this when I was cultivating, and there have already been related legends, although I don’t know when it was passed down…”

"It is said that Shenmu has incredible power, no matter what kind of creature, if it is sealed under this tree, the body will not decay with the passage of time, but can go to the next era across time, so that's why named..."

"So it is." Gu Mo nodded, thoughtfully, "I thought it was your village that discovered the power of this tree to connect different eras."

"Naturally not... Even the Bone-eating Well, we didn't understand why the corpse of the monster that was thrown into it disappeared."

Bellflower shook his head gently, thinking about it now, probably because the power of the era tree can connect different eras, and the bone-eating well was built from the tree of the era tree, and it is near the main body of the era tree, so it is inexplicably capable of crossing space-time capabilities.

The corpse of any monster thrown into this well will soon disappear without a trace, not really being swallowed by the well itself, but drifting to another time.

But at the time, she would not have thought of such a thing, it was a matter of course.

Another strange wind blew, and Shenmu rustled.

Five hundred years ago, the people in the village were always guarding the sacred tree, and five hundred years later, the sacred tree was the sacred tree in the Higurashi Shrine. The trunk was also added with ropes and paper hangings, and the surrounding The fence... well, the treatment seems to have always been so good, as long as the people who live on this land seem to take it very seriously.

"Then I probably understand... um, I'll do it now?"

Gu Mo nodded, and then asked.

"Wait a second..."

Kikyo glanced at him calmly, then took two steps forward, approached the trunk of the Mikami tree, carefully crossed the fence, and then reached out and gently pressed it on the surface of the Mikami tree, closing his eyes slightly.

"..."

"..."

"Okay."

After a while, she turned around and looked at the person behind her with eyes like autumn water, and said calmly.

"That's it?" Gu Mo couldn't help but doubt.

"Shenmu agreed...but you have to be gentler, don't hurt the trunk of the tree." Kikyo said seriously, exhorting him like this, as if he was not at ease, "We are just asking for some wood, you don't want it. Thinking of cutting down the whole tree."

"How come, I don't need you to tell me about this..."

Gu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, he wouldn't do such a thing of drying up the lake and fishing, although he was indeed very jealous of the ultra-rare wood of this tree, after all, it was definitely an unimaginably precious material.

He raised his head and looked at the tall divine tree in front of him. This time there was no wind, but the tree was automatic without wind. It also made a soft rustling sound... Amazingly, Gu Mo did feel that he seemed to understand. The other party's emotions, the emotions conveyed by a tree, also understood what Kikyo said it agreed.

How is it completely different from when I wanted to draw materials from it before.

Gu Mo felt that he was discriminated against.

However, he no longer struggled, he took a step forward and prepared to start collecting materials, and at the same time moved the five fingers of his right hand... Maybe the feeling and convenience brought by the transformation of monsters a few times, he subconsciously prepared to use his claws to collect materials, some kind of meaning This is much more flexible and convenient than the sword.

After a while, looking at a slightly thick wooden branch lying on the ground, Kikyo didn't say much.

While the wood is more than needed to make a scabbard, but…

It's still decent.

"Let's go." She said softly, and glanced at the ancestral hall not far away again.

…………

Mount Fuji.

Located about 80 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, Japan, is an active volcano that spans Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures and is the highest peak in Japan. The solitary, often snow-covered stratovolcano rises above villages and tree-fringed seas and lakes, soaring to the clouds and snow-capped peaks.

Because it is very iconic, it is of course impossible to admit the wrong direction.

If it is only more than 80 kilometers, it is not too far, so there is no problem in rushing. Even the two of them are not in a hurry... It's not right to say that, and it can't be said that they are not in a hurry. If possible, Kikyo naturally hopes to solve this matter as soon as possible.

But she is not a reckless and impulsive person, so she naturally listened to Gu Mo's suggestion——

Stopping time on the earth seems to be the same as destroying everything on the earth, but in fact there is a big difference. Direct destruction is an almost irreversible process, and it is meaningless if it is not stopped before it comes.

But now it's different...

Shen Jiuye's anti-sky spell is to stop the flow of time. If she doesn't get rid of her, the history of this world will end here. But as long as she is eliminated, the flow of time will resume, and everything will be as if it never happened, and the people who have stopped time will not even notice it.

Shen Jiuye took away the world's time...

And they can also act in this eternal night, which is equivalent to having unlimited time.

Therefore, there is no need to rush to the door to race against time. This is not the pursuit of speed, and there is only one chance, so there is no need to take risks at all... They can be prepared as much as possible. odds of points.

So after approaching Mount Fuji, the two slowed down.

Now...

In a town that is also illuminated by moonlight, in front of a cold drink shop on a street somewhere, Gu Mo sat under a parasol and watched the witch across the table quietly making handicrafts, and the simple and straightforward placed next to it. A brand new wooden scabbard like the scabbard of a knife is gradually taking shape under her hands.

However, Gu Mo didn't pay attention to this, but sat on the opposite side with one hand resting on his cheeks quietly admiring the witch's appearance.

Although this is the modern world, not the village of the Warring States period.

And there is also a mysterious huge full moon hanging in the sky, not the afternoon sunshine in the midsummer.

But it gave him the same feeling, that is, during that time, he was wandering around the village every day, the witch would come to bring him meals in the afternoon, and the two sat on the hillside in the shade, when the wind blew, the grass and trees make noise.

But it was more quiet that way, and the shrine maiden didn't say anything... He liked that kind of atmosphere, and it seems to be the same now.

"...is there something on my face?"

Kikyo's calm voice sounded.

"No." Gu Mo blinked.

The witch's eyes were lowered and she didn't say anything anymore, as if her attention was all focused on her hand, but she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, especially when she talked about a certain topic not long ago... Even she can't be completely His heart was like still water, pretending that nothing happened.

Some things that she would not have cared about at first, but now she inevitably cares a little, and her mood does not seem to be too calm.

My heart is a little messed up...

She lowered her head, sighed silently, and said, "If it's like what you said before, the material used for the scabbard of this magic sword is the branches of a big monster that is more than two thousand years old. If so, then the power of Shenmu is still relatively poor..."

"Is that so..."

Gu Mo nodded, the witch actually continued to find topics with herself, which was rather unusual.

According to the law he has long been used to, Kikyo should fall into a long silence again. If he doesn't make a sound, he may not say a word for a long time... Is it not as calm as it seems on the surface? , so subconsciously want to divert attention?

He guessed so, and pretended to think seriously, and asked, "Is this scabbard enough?"

"With the characteristics of Shenmu, if I set a seal again, it should be possible... At least it is much better than the old scabbard, it can't hold it anymore." The witch said softly, and glanced at the beside Simple straight knife.

"That's it, I really can't hold on anymore..." An old and tired voice came from the scabbard. The spirit of the scabbard alone sealed Cong Yunya for seven hundred years. But no amount of dedication can change the fact.

The magic sword is immortal, but the wooden sheath is not.

And in the long-term confrontation, the power of the sheath is basically exhausted.

The witch considered that she really needed the power of this magic sword to fight the demon who had won all the goddess, but she couldn't ignore the danger of the magic sword itself, so she decided to change the scabbard before going to fight the god Jiuye. Now... the spirit in the scabbard is also very much in favor of this.

There is no grief and anger that I feel that I have been slaughtered and killed, but I can't wait to make this matter faster, I really can't hold it anymore.

"There's still some wood left, Kikyo, do you want to make a bow or something..."

Looking at the wood beside him, Gu Mo asked.

Although I am embarrassed to go too far, it is more than enough consumption to make a scabbard... The wood of the era tree is indeed an ultra-rare material. is gold level.

However, materials are only materials after all. If they cannot be turned into finished equipment, they are meaningless, and they are not for the pure collection value.

Cong Yunya's current new scabbard is a must, but for the rest, Kikyo can also update her weapons and equipment... Anyway, she is a teammate, and her equipment rating goes up, which means a direct increase in the team's strength, which is naturally very good. beneficial.

"This part of the wood is not suitable for bows, but I can make some arrows..." Kikyo replied calmly.

She must defeat Shen Jiuye so that the world can continue to flow, and she will not be rash.

If it is really impossible to kill, she has also made a perfect plan, even if it is necessary to seal the opponent with the arrow of sealing... Although the sealing is strictly speaking, it is an act of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, which is equivalent to leaving the problem behind. For future people to solve.

But there is still a chance to give this world a future, not just stop it now.

"That's okay, it's just a cheap god for a long time..."

Gu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

"Speaking of which, forever night..."

He couldn't help but sighed like this, Shen Jiuye's spell is indeed extremely heaven-defying, it can turn the whole earth into a secret room, and let the night fall forever... Probably it really belongs to the power brought to her by the goddess. The power and power of the "God of the Night Eclipse Hara and the Moon" is impossible for a monster to possess.

So the clues provided by Kikyo are very valuable, and it is estimated that it is the truth——

The body of the goddess that Shen Jiuye devoured was created by Yue Yejian, one of the three noble sons, imitating his own human form, so it has the characteristics and power of the night master...

However, if this eternal night comes, although it seems to be beneficial for Shen Jiuye to dominate the world, from another point of view, does it mean that his mask is also a plug-in? The mask belonging to the night traveler can only be effective at night, but now... is it always night?

"What's wrong?"

Kikyo looked at him slightly suspiciously, as if this person had any special thoughts?

She had also seen that mask, but she didn't see a reason for it, and that thing had no power at all during the day, so she naturally didn't know how powerful it was... Anyway, it was outrageous.

"nothing……"

Gu Mo shook his head. Frankly speaking, he still hoped that the magic sword would blow up Dream City, or wait until the protagonist group arrived, and adopt the righteous play of "no need to talk about morality with this kind of demon, let's go together" , is also a good choice.

The only thing I don't want is to use the last means of pressing the bottom of the box. After all, who knows how crazy I will go, especially in front of Kikyo.

Kikyo frowned slightly, as if she was slightly displeased with his concealment. If it was something else, she could not care, but if it was about the next thing to face, about the spell that created this phenomenon, the information about Shen Jiuye And so on, she still hoped that this person would not hide it.

Raising his fist to his mouth, Gu Mo noticed the shrine maiden's expression, and the thoughts in his mind quickly revolved: "It's really nothing, I'm just sighing about this eternal night..."

"What's there to sigh? The moonlight is so beautiful?"

The witch was noncommittal, and said lightly, she was so keen, and she naturally knew that this person was not telling the truth, she did not believe that this person was really simply admiring the moonlight and night scenery.

"..."

"..."

Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly and shook his head again and again.

"?" The witch tilted her head and looked at him with some doubts. Did she say something wrong?

Gu Mo didn't explain, and didn't tell the truth at the beginning, but just restrained his smile and diverted the witch's attention with serious nonsense:

"Actually, I think this night is too wonderful. After all, time in the whole world has stopped, and only you and me can continue to work in such a world... Think about it, in a sense, is this the only A world for the two of us?"

The witch was slightly stunned.

This man is talking nonsense again!

She turned her head and said calmly, "Don't be kidding... And isn't Shen Jiuye also in this world?"

Gu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, it was really the case, he subconsciously ignored the initiator.

"...I'll just wait and cut her."

...

...

Mount Fuji, Lake Motosu.

In the dream city.

"how is this possible……"

A woman with an elegant and beautiful posture, like a princess in the heavenly palace, but at this moment, her face is gloomy and watery, as if her eyes are about to breathe fire, she stares at the image displayed in the mirror in front of her, and she hates the one who gritted her teeth. The shrine maiden, and that nasty big monster, were talking and laughing.

But, but... that shrine maiden is a dead person, so it's understandable that she wasn't affected by the spell, so why is that guy still able to move normally.

Doesn't he exist in this world?

Immediately afterwards, she seemed to have noticed something, and her face became even more embarrassing. As her thoughts turned sharply, the image in the mirror blurred and became clear again, but in the big city before, a family occupying In the huge shrine, the ancestral hall was blasted open, and the group was nervously confronting the gorgeous noble boy opposite, talking loudly.

"One, two, three..."

Shen Jiuye counted with an ugly face, about the number of these guys who just suddenly appeared...
