Chapter 40 Debris Collection

Naturally, you have to go out and take action if you want to farm crystals, but this place is truly a "ghost place". Considering that many ghosts and monsters have some very special abilities, it is a little troublesome for me to go out alone. However, even if I don't want to go out alone, it seems like there is no one who can go with me now.

This place is full of people and there are only four other people besides me. Christina needs to recover her magic power, so she must not move. Although the Blazing Dragon Princess doesn't have much problem with her attributes, she is quite tired mentally, so she can't be counted on. The remaining two female ghosts... let's forget about it! It’s better not to take them with you!

After much deliberation, I couldn't think of any good solution, so I could only decide to go out alone. Awakening Christina and Blazing Dragon Princess paid a little attention to the two female ghosts to prevent them from causing trouble when I was not around, and then I left the room alone.

Going out from this place is the main street, but this is just a common village-level gathering place, so there are no drainage facilities on the road at all. The heavy rain at this time was extremely heavy, so the road surface is almost changing now. It has become a small river. As soon as I stepped down, the water completely covered my feet.

"Damn weather!" I had to pull down my mask while standing in the heavy rain. The helmet part of the Dragon Soul suit actually has a rain shield, so usually I don’t have to put the mask down even when it rains, but now the rainfall in this place is so heavy that the helmet The diversion troughs and rain shields on the roof cannot completely divert the flow, so the mask can only be lowered.

Although the Dragon Soul suit is considered top equipment. Its various internal attributes and wearing comfort are top-notch, but a closed helmet is closed after all. Even if it comes with its own magic circle such as air filtration and oxygen generation, it will still be somewhat uncomfortable after being closed. . After all, you have to seal your head in a sealed can. Even with breathing assistance, it is definitely not as comfortable as breathing fresh air directly, so I usually don't use a mask. It feels like wearing this thing on your face affects your comfort.

After putting down the mask, although the rain can't get in, my sight range is also blocked to a small extent, and because the rain will flow downward along the crystal baffle of the helmet mask located at the eye, the picture I see from inside It's like there's a curtain of water across it, so it's quite dark considering this place. In this case, the impact on the line of sight is really not that big. to be honest. Normally I don't feel that the helmet of the Dragon Soul Suit blocks my vision, but in this case, this small impact is greatly magnified.

Although my vision was temporarily blocked due to the influence of the helmet, the visibility range was still large, so I didn't pay too much attention. What's more important is that I don't plan on fighting anyone on the road. Because I have inquired about it before. The real gathering places for ghosts and ghosts are still in these houses on the roadside. The wandering spirits outside are actually relatively rare.

Now that you have a clear goal, the rest is much easier. After walking one house along the street, I went directly to a house next to the house where Christina and the others were hiding. Because these are the houses on both sides of the street. So I don’t know if it’s out of habit or regulations, but anyway, the houses in this row are all of the same height, and even the architectural styles are the same. If it weren’t for some differences in the position of the windows and individual decorations, these buildings would be just fine. It is said that it was poured out of the same mold. If you are unfamiliar with this place, you may not be able to find the house you were in before.

Before entering the door of the house in front of me, I first decomposed eternity into a fluid structure, and then let it adhere to the various blades on my body, and the remaining parts were also covered with a layer on my ten fingers. This mode is one of my most commonly used fighting modes, because in this case all the blades on my body have eternal properties, and since there are no weapons in my hands, I can fight freely. No matter how skilled the weapon is, it will definitely not be as good as the soul of your own fingers. After all, no matter how diligent you are, you cannot practice swords every day for your whole life, but your fingers have been with you all your life, from birth to Your fingers have been used continuously from the beginning, so no matter who you are, using your fingers is definitely more flexible than using weapons.

The enemies in this place are all monsters or ghosts, and it seems that there may be more spiritual beings at present, so what I need now is not high attack, but high agility. The appearance of these spirits almost always moves instantaneously, so weapons with slow attack frequency will definitely not be able to hit these guys. On the contrary, if I just use my fingers or a weapon anywhere on my body, then my attack speed will increase significantly. In this case, my attack can hope to hit those ghosts and the like. As for attack power...this is actually not the main issue. Spiritual creatures generally have low defense and low health. To put it simply, they are not resistant to beatings. These guys will be killed easily if they are attacked. Of course, considering that almost all spiritual creatures have the attribute that makes physical attacks ineffective, it is actually not easy to hit them.

After getting ready, I immediately strode into this private house. There is a small platform at the entrance of the gate. This place is probably used for people to change their shoes. Most people here in Japan don’t wear shoes at home, so there needs to be a place to change shoes at the door. But I have no intention of being polite to the head of the household here. My combat boots have attributes. It’s impossible to change into shoes at this time, right?

I stepped directly onto the floor of the house on the two-step cross-border platform, but what made me very depressed was that the hidden advantage I had in this place was almost gone.

The houses here in Japan are all made of wood, and wood is actually very soft. Especially over time, the wood will deform, and as long as something slightly heavier steps on it, it will immediately creak. the sound of. and. Even though there are cushioning pads under my feet, my suit is not light after all, so every step on the ground makes a heavy thumping sound. Apart from the truly deaf, only those who need to wear hearing aids may not be able to hear such a loud noise, right? As for whether there are such monsters in the game... I haven't seen many of them anyway. On the contrary, I have seen a lot of blind creatures that can target attacks based on the sound of your heartbeat alone.

Recently, I suddenly feel that I have a tendency to have a crow's mouth. Just when I thought of a blind creature with superior hearing, one suddenly appeared from the front. The shape of this thing still retains a bit of a human shape, but there are no human facial features on its head. In fact, except for a big mouth that almost covers half of its face, this thing's head is just a bare bald head. ladle.

In addition to the weird-looking head, this thing's skin is also ugly. The gray-white skin has no wrinkles. On the contrary, it looks like the shape of human skin after edema. It looks a bit crystal clear. However, once human skin is crystal clear, it will never look good, because the blood vessels and meridians covered underneath are quite disgusting things according to normal people's aesthetic standards. Finally, except for this strange shiny skin. The ends of this thing's limbs are also very mutated. Its hands and feet have completely mutated. Not only have my fingers and toes become much larger. And long claws grew from the tip.

At this time, this thing was hanging upside down on the roof with its strong and powerful limbs, and was rushing towards me at an incredible speed.

The moment I saw that thing rushing towards me, I took the initiative to greet it. In fact, this is often the case. Dodge after seeing the enemy will often cause greater losses, but it is better to take the initiative to rush forward. certainly. What I'm talking about is when there is not much difference between the enemy and us, or when you are stronger than the enemy. If the opponent is very strong, it is better to run away quickly.

The thing opposite has no eyes, so it must rely on vision to capture its position, but even knowing this is useless, since I have no way to mute myself. There's wood everywhere in this place, so I'm bound to make a lot of noise no matter where I borrow my power, but I can silence myself for a short period of time.

Just when the thing and I were about to rush together, we both suddenly reacted at the same time. The thing was running and suddenly jumped down from the ceiling, while I jumped at the same time, and then we met in the air. The opponent's two front paws instantly clasped my left arm that I deliberately stretched out, and then I heard a heart-wrenching sound of metal friction, and my left arm guard was scratched by this guy with sparks flying everywhere. . However, just when this guy grabbed my arm and exerted force, my right hand accurately pressed on his stretched out forehead.

Of course, this guy didn't want to die when he stretched his head. He just wanted to bite me. It's just that I had an advantage over him. After all, eyes are better than ears, so my observation is more intuitive. The moment the other person stretched out his head to bite me, I held the top of his head, and then my five fingers suddenly exerted force and clenched tightly. Although the guy's scalp and skull were very smooth, they still had no protective effect against eternity. My fingers successfully bit his skull, and then eternity penetrated his skull and entered this guy's brain. Bring them together with medium force.

This whole process took less than two seconds. If a normal person saw us, they would probably only see the monster and I collided in the air, and then each turned over and landed on the ground, and there was an extra piece in my hand that was completely The shattered skull, as for that thing, had completely collapsed to the ground without any movement.

I said before that there were a lot of spirit creatures in this place, but I didn't expect that there would be monsters that were not spirits. I walked over and turned this guy over with my feet. Then I looked carefully at this guy's head and found that he actually had eyes, but his skin completely wrapped the eyes inside.

Seeing this, I simply cut his scalp open and tore it off, but the structure inside surprised me even more, because except for the slight variation in the oral cavity, this guy's skull was completely a human skull.

This thing is obviously some kind of human mutant, and it looks like a failure. But that's not the point, because I suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps behind me.

I am very familiar with this footsteps, because the thing I just killed had such footsteps, and the reason why this sound is so messy at this time can only be for one reason - there are more than one coming.

The moment I heard the sound, I turned around and saw seven or eight of these things suddenly rushing down from the dark stairs. Some of them hang from the ceiling. Some are squatting on the ground, while others are attached to the wall. Anyway, these things are like bugs and can stand on any flat surface.

After those things came down, they sniffed around and then pointed their heads towards me. Apparently their sense of smell is pretty good, and they have already discovered the death of their companions, and I can be sure that these things already know that I am coming, but because I haven't moved since I turned around, they don't know my specific location for a while. But I believe they must know the approximate range of where I am.

No matter what the situation is with these things now. But I definitely can't sit still and wait for death. As those things gradually approached me along the floor and ceiling. I suddenly took action.

Because there were a lot of opponents, I made a heavy move as soon as I came up. First, I jumped up on the spot and rushed toward the nearest monster. The other monster probably heard my move, so he jumped almost at the same time as me. Then they collided with me in the air. But the weight of this thing is not as big as mine. So I was finally overthrown. The two of us hit the ground together, and other nearby monsters rushed up immediately, but I suddenly rolled on the spot. Then I kicked off the wall on the side and bounced up. I grabbed a flying monster in the air, twisted it and smashed it to the ground, while I myself flew upwards with the help of the reaction force. While I was in mid-air, I shot a dragon tendon against the opposite wall, and then quickly shot another one in the opposite direction.

Two dragon tendon ropes were shot into the ceiling on both sides of the diagonal line of the room, and I was suspended in mid-air completely relying on these two ropes.

The monsters below all stopped after a while. They all seemed to be still and moved their heads in a small range, as if they were looking for my voice. But it's a pity that I am hanging in mid-air on a rope. If it doesn't touch the ground, there will be no business, and those things can't hear the sound and can't find their target at all. Although their eyes are only covered by skin, and the skin is still translucent, their vision seems to have really disappeared.

While those things were at a loss below, I successfully moved myself directly above a monster by adjusting the length of the cables on both sides. Then, while the monster was listening to the nearby movements, I suddenly retracted it. Clues. The ropes on both sides made a loud sound when they were forcibly pulled out of the wood. However, because the two sounds appeared at the same time, the monster below was obviously a little dizzy and did not know which side to attack first. However, just when they were confused, a sharp scream suddenly came out from among them, which startled the monsters around them, because this sound was made by their companions, and this sound represented It means - help.

Although they heard the calls of their companions, they could not see or notice the sound of my landing, so these monsters completely lost their judgment. Some squatted there as if they were at a loss, while others were active, half-crouching on the ground, straightening their upper bodies and waving their two big claws left and right in front of them, attacking non-existent enemies.

Of course I wasn't afraid at all when facing the attacks from these guys, because I didn't even land on the ground. In fact, I am now standing on the back of the monster below, but when I fell, I had turned the back blade of my feet to the soles of my feet, turning my combat boots into skates. Of course, these are not roller skates, but real skates with skates. However, there was no ice underneath at this time, so the two ice blades on the soles of my feet were directly embedded in the monster's waist ribs. The severe pain was the reason why this guy screamed.

Of course I wouldn't let this guy resist, so after I stepped on it, I simultaneously used my hands to pinch this guy's shoulder blades, and then when he tried to move, I increased my strength and completely crushed his limbs. . After completely losing the ability to move, this guy could only lie limply on the ground, but because his companions thought it was his voice, they did not attack here. At this time, I had gradually killed this monster completely. After all, this thing is not a ghost, it also has blood. Now there is a large pool of blood on the ground, and the monster is gradually losing its reaction.

After confirming that the person under my feet was dead, I carefully stood up from his back because there was a monster's corpse under my feet. Therefore, the sound was different from stepping on the ground. The surrounding monsters regarded it as the sound of companions and did not attack it.

When I stood up completely, I found that none of the monsters around me took any further action, so I carefully took out a throwing knife from my body.

I have confirmed the previous attacks. The ability of these monsters to hear and identify my location is not so strong that they can hear all sounds, at least they can't confirm my location from my heartbeat. Moreover, I have made many moves in the air before, and these guys didn't react, which means that they are not strong enough to judge the enemy's attack based on the sound of airflow changes.

In fact, I have encountered super creatures that are extremely sensitive to sound before. Those guys are really difficult to give birth to. They can even react before you because of the change in sound caused by the change in your heart's blood flow before you prepare to attack. , after all, senior personnel will make adjustments before preparing to attack. The heart definitely needs a lot of blood during this process. The increased heartbeat rhythm and changes in pulsation sound caused by this large amount of blood can be used as pre-judgment criteria for attack actions. Therefore, those monsters sometimes seem to have the ability to predict, and they will move before you move them. Also, those truly high-end hearing creatures can actually hear the sound of weapons cutting the air. So your every move will be heard. The other party can accurately guide you in your current posture. Instead of just knowing your approximate location.

Fortunately, the things in front of me now are not that abnormal. They can only rely on sound to roughly locate them. They can't hear my specific movements, so even if I attack with a flying knife, they probably won't be able to detect it. After all, the sound of flying knives is actually very small, so it is unlikely that they will notice the movement.

The facts are similar to what I deduced. The first flying knife accurately hit one of the monsters in the head, and then penetrated directly. The monster almost fell down without even shaking, while the surrounding monsters stood up alertly, but they had no idea what exactly was attacking. They just judged from the smell of blood that another companion was attacked, but they didn't know anything about how they were attacked.

Seeing these idiot monsters crawling around in panic, I immediately took action again, and because of previous experiments, I had determined that these things did not have enough hearing to judge the location and trajectory of my attack, so I was completely helpless this time. Without any scruples, I let go and fired continuously. In just a few seconds, I killed all the remaining monsters.

After all the monsters were killed, I deliberately jumped here a few times in order to make noise to attract the monsters above to come down. After all, this place is a hall with a relatively large area, which is more suitable for me to play. For this kind of monster, a narrower place may be more suitable for them.

My noise failed to attract the appearance of new targets, so I temporarily gave up my plan to continue making noise, because there may no longer be such a monster. Of course, it may also be that the smell of blood below made the remaining things realize that what was coming below was a very strong opponent, so the rest did not dare to come down.

No matter what the reason is, at least it should be safe down there for the time being. But the purpose of my visit this time is to collect crystals, but these monsters have entities. They are not like the spirits I dealt with before. They will dissipate as soon as they die and drop a crystal. I don’t know if these guys can explode crystals or if they are inside corpses. Anyway, I didn’t see anything.

I have no choice but to kill them all, so I have to look for them! Taking the dagger condensed by Eternity, he first opened the head of this thing, and then stirred the brains. He found nothing, but Eternity was stained with a layer of green mucus. Fortunately, when it is eternally transformed, the surface structure is comparable to that of Teflon, which is truly impervious to water, and will naturally fall off no matter what disgusting things are attached to it.

If I don't find what I want in my head, I have no choice but to disembowel it. However, this project was a bit big, so I had to change the eternity into more professional equipment, and it took a lot of effort to cut this guy's body into pieces all over the ground. However, I found nothing.

"Holy shit, this thing won't explode, right?" After working hard for a long time, I feel that my previous work was completely in vain. If I had known that, I shouldn't have entered this room in the first place. It was in vain that I tried so hard to kill so many monsters, and one of them was cut into pieces all over the place according to pathological anatomy standards. Even if there was a stone in this guy's body, I would definitely have dug it out, but the result was that he had nothing but bones. There won't be any hard objects left.

Although one has been dissected, because I have encountered some weak individuals among low-level monsters that do not have magic cores before, I cannot be sure that these things do not explode with crystals just by dissecting one individual. Maybe that thing just now just doesn't exist.

I have no choice but to start dissecting the second corpse, and I have already thought about it. If this one is not available again, I will cut into three more. This is equivalent to dissecting five corpses in total. If there are none, then basically You can be sure that this thing is really nothing.

While laboriously cutting up the corpse, I prayed that there would be some new discovery inside this thing. As a result, after I cut the thing into pieces, there was still nothing. Somewhat depressed, I continued to cut the third one. This time, I did the same as before, opening the skull first and then disemboweling. As a result, when I cut open the heart of this guy, I unexpectedly found that there was something inside his heart. There is a hard lump.

After carefully digging out this thing, I discovered that it was a crystal the size of a mung bean, which was different from the crystals that had fallen out of the spirit body before. The previous crystal was teardrop-shaped and icy blue in color, but the one in front of me was spherical and dark red.

Although the color and shape were different, it was always a good thing to be able to explode something. I excitedly put this thing aside, and then started cutting up the remaining corpses.

Since one has been successfully dug out, there is no need for total dissection this time. Just dig out the heart and cut it open, and you can get one in just a few seconds. After all the corpses were cut up, a total of four crystals were obtained, which can be said to be less than half.

After collecting totally different crystals, I went straight to the second floor without looking at the properties. These things must be useful anyway, and I guess the description of the one I just got is as simple as the psychic crystal. You probably won’t understand it after looking at it, so I might as well wait and ask about that one again. Female ghost.

After collecting these crystals and going up to the second floor, I took less than two steps when I found a door in front of me suddenly opened by itself, and then a small head poked out from inside. Connected to the bottom of this head is a small body. It looks like it is still a child, only five years old at most. However, this child's body is not solid, but hazy as if it were made of water vapor. It's obvious that this is a kid, and his strength is very low, otherwise it shouldn't be so hazy.

Since it was not a dangerous thing, I strode over. Then when the little thing saw me walking over, he turned around and hid. This reaction made me stunned for a moment. After reacting, I walked over and opened the door, and then I was dumbfounded. (To be continued...)
