Chapter 96 The Real Bait!
The latest website: In Jason's field of vision, where ordinary people can't see, a missile with a strange shape is flying rapidly.
After just two seconds, those onmyojis also noticed something was wrong.
When they saw the missile, their expressions immediately changed.
"defense!"
The leading onmyoji roared, quickly forming seals in his hands.
The surrounding onmyojis didn't keep it either.
Layers of defense increased again.
However, the bullet just split apart above the heads of the group of Onmyojis.
woo woo woo woo!
Hundreds of smaller round bombs fell on the head.
Immediately, all the onmyojis turned pale.
Cluster bombs!
Although they maintain the tradition, it does not mean that the Onmyojis have cut off contact with the outside world. They are even more concerned about the development of 'Gunpowder' than ordinary people.
Because, that is the existence that overthrew their former rule.
Because of this, they deeply know the power of cluster bombs.
Larger range and stronger penetration.
Never fight head-on if you can.
But now...
They only had hard resistance left.
"Increase defense!"
The leading Onmyoji gritted his teeth and said.
Perhaps at this time, it is a drop in the bucket.
But even a little bit more defense is good.
The surrounding onmyoji also knew this truth, and once again began to strengthen their defenses.
The defensive force field composed of yin and yang techniques has dozens of layers on top of each other.
It should have been an invisible and transparent defensive force field. After the number of superimposed layers increased, a kind of translucency had appeared. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was a state of ripples layer after layer.
Then--
Boom boom boom!
A dense explosion appeared.
The flames blazed.
Shrapnel flew.
The surrounding buildings were turned into ruins in an instant, and the Onmyojis were even more overwhelmed by shrapnel.
Even the big 'ghost' suffered an almost devastating blow.
The red and black muscles became riddled with holes under the dense shrapnel.
The ferocious face became more and more distorted because of the pain.
The mace in his hand was broken in two because it was used as an alternative shield.
However, the strong vitality of the 'ghost' kept it alive.
Even, gradually recovering.
The shrapnel was squeezed out of the body, and the wound healed little by little.
This satisfied Jason.
At least he doesn't have to spit out the 'thorn' when he eats for a while.
As for letting go of the food because the food was seriously injured?
Feel sorry.
Jason doesn't waste food.
Wearing clothes that had already been tattered due to the explosion and single-piece attack, Jason rushed towards the big ghost.
After incorporating the [Dawei Tianlong Method], the defense level of Jason's body has already reached above the fighter level.
This is a defense above the five levels of knives, bullets, explosives, tanks, and fighter planes.
Even if he was at the core of the explosion, Jason would be seriously injured at most and would not die in the true sense.
Not to mention that Jason is originally on the edge, and the 'bullets' of the cluster bombs are just ordinary bombs, without adding any chemicals or turning them into armor-piercing bullets. As long as Jason protects his vitals, he is basically a skin It didn't break either.
As soon as Jason appeared, he was noticed by the big ghost.
The big 'ghost' roared and punched out.
It's not that I don't want another way.
Rather, the current big 'ghost' has no ability to use other abilities at all.
Only pure hand-to-hand combat remained.
boom!
Jason didn't dodge or dodge, and fought the big ghost.
The huge body brings a matching strength.
But Jason didn't back down at all.
Jason's strength is 9 times that of ordinary people? After sprinting and accumulating power, this strength has already reached an extremely exaggerated level? Far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Therefore, all those who watched here saw a scene that will never be forgotten.
The big 'ghost' known for its strength? Was repelled by a human.
Especially the size gap between the two sides made this scene even more shocking.
The 10-meter-high body retreated again and again.
The 2-meter-high body is standing still.
Step, step!
The retreat of the big 'ghost' caused the entire ground to tremble.
Jason chased after him and jumped straight up.
Roar!
Looking at Jason who was close at hand, the big 'ghost' roared angrily. The huge palm just slapped down, but it quickly turned into screams.
Jason's broad-bladed short-handled machete pierced the big 'ghost''s palm fiercely, and then, with a twist of the handle, the entire palm was completely cut open.
All of a sudden, the big 'ghost' screamed even worse.
But this is just the beginning.
With the knife drawn down, Jason's footsteps flashed? Then he turned behind the big 'ghost', aiming at the back of the big ghost's knee.
Poof, poof!
Amidst the crisp cutting sound? The inside of the big 'ghost''s knee was cut precisely.
A ligament, similar to a meniscus, exists that simultaneously divides in two.
The big 'ghost' flickered——
thump!
Kneel down.
Then the knife light appeared at the throat of the big 'ghost'.
puff!
Blood soared into the sky.
The big 'ghost' clutched his throat and fell straight down.
It has already been severely damaged by cluster bombs? It is simply difficult to support another recovery.
Death came as promised.
After confirming that the 'food' was in hand, Jason looked at the remaining 'food'.
The aftermath of the explosion gradually dissipated.
Dozens of defensive force fields constructed by eleven onmyojis have already disappeared without a trace, leaving only the onmyojis lying on the ground.
Their white hunting clothes and black trousers have already become dirty and blood-stained.
There is still breathing.
However, the consciousness is not clear enough.
The shrapnel on his body is like a countdown to death.
Even the lead onmyoji with his eyes open was no exception.
He looked at the messy surroundings and murmured in a low voice.
"Times have changed, times have changed."
Whispering, vomiting blood.
The eyes of the leading onmyoji were almost gone.
Although the appearance of 'Gunpowder' ended their rule, their power is still there. This kind of 'power' gives them a little confidence, or pride.
Most onmyojis share similar confidence and pride.
This leading onmyoji is no exception.
But this moment.
He seemed to have discovered that this so-called confidence and pride were nothing more than a fig leaf.
The last fig leaf of a declining era.
And now?
The last fig leaf was also torn off.
Torn to pieces.
His faith and soul were torn apart together.
Therefore, even when he saw Jason approaching, the onmyoji, who still had the strength to fight back, didn't move, just looked at the approaching Jason, and then... smiled.
"What are we fighting about?"
"It was originally a remnant of the times."
"Now?"
"Being profited by others."
"I'm really not reconciled."
The smile was ugly, like crying.
yes!
Not reconciled!
He already thinks he understands this 'world', and he also thinks he values 'gunpowder'.
But in fact?
The pride in his heart has already made him wear colored glasses.
His prejudice and arrogance have already doomed today's results.
He is so unwilling!
Would things have been different if he had been more humble?
Can it be reversed?
If the cooperation with "Hana Sakura" is more cautious, will it be truly successful?
The thoughts in his mind made him vomit blood even faster.
Looking at Jason walking in front of him, the Onmyoji said.
"Give us a face, please."
"We don't want to die under 'gunpowder'."
"Please use your sword and let us go to the Sanzu River."
After speaking, the Onmyoji tried his best to sit up, straightened his back as much as possible, and helped the remaining half of the hat. This action touched his wound—a shrapnel stuck in his heart.
The severe pain made the Onmyoji pause, but it was still done.
Then, he looked at Jason with pleading eyes.
He could feel his own death coming soon.
However, dying by 'gunpowder' was not what he wanted.
He wanted to retain the last bit of dignity.
Not a fig leaf.
It is pure obsession.
Whoosh!
Jason raised his hand with a knife.
The blade swept across the neck of the Onmyoji in front of him with a sharp sound of cutting through the air.
As the blood sprayed, the last bit of relief appeared in the eyes of the Onmyoji—even if this relief was his own obsession, it was very false in Jason's view.
But he still convinced himself.
He was relieved.
The onmyoji's mouth trembled slightly.
No sound came out.
But Jason can roughly guess it by looking at his mouth shape.
thanks.
Jason frowned and said coldly.
"No, I got paid."
After the voice fell, he took the remaining props on the other party's body.
The leading onmyoji's mouth curled up, more relief appeared in his eyes, and then he just lay down on the ground straight.
I lost my breath.
The same goes for the remaining ten onmyojis.
They chose the same way as the leader, welcoming their own death.
Jason 'collected' the rewards one by one.
"What a bunch of awkward enemies."
This was Jason's evaluation of this group of onmyojis who were obviously regarded as real'bait'.
Then, the flames flashed.
Everything disappeared under [Charles Burning Technique].
The night wind blows.
The Martians flew up with thick smoke and dust.
After a while, there was nothing.
Only Jason was left with a lot of food.
"There are still 21 pieces, which is more than 10 pieces less than the previous calculation. They should be defensive items that respond automatically to the explosion of cluster bombs. It's a pity."
Jason sighed softly.
Do not misunderstand.
He simply sighed that his hunt was running out of food.
As for these onmyoji who are used as 'bait'?
Just like Jason said.
He got paid.
However, Jason still had doubts.
First, why did the Huakai family do this?
Although he has not been in this dungeon world for a long time, Jason knows very well that it is not easy to train an onmyoji. Talent, blood, resources, etc. are all limitations.
Even for the Huakai family, known as one of the four major families of Onmyoji, it is definitely not a trivial matter that eleven Onmyojis died all at once.
It can even be called a serious injury.
"Infighting?"
Jason guessed.
Apart from this guess, he couldn't think of anything else.
Moreover, there must be 'Hana Sakura' involved in this infighting.
"Is it more involved than imagined?"
"If that's the case..."
"It's fun."
Thinking of something, Jason narrowed his eyes slightly.
If it was as he guessed, everything in front of him would become reasonable.
Of course, it is not difficult to prove this point.
It can even be confirmed immediately.
And this is also related to the second point of Jason's doubts: the timing of the launch of the "Hana Sakura" cluster bomb.
A bit too early!
According to common sense, he should fire when he and these onmyojis are 'inseparable', not this kind of early fire.
While the effect is good, it is not maximized.
"Is there another accident?"
"Those hidden guys did it again?"
Thinking about it, Jason strode towards the big 'ghost'.
No matter what happens in a moment, he will participate in it.
Before that, though, he needs something to eat.
Of course, the necessary 'disinfection' is still needed.
He went straight to open the 'White Bear Cafe' that had been hit and looked a bit crumbling, but in fact it was quite solid. Jason took out a case of spirits from Hui Lijing's wine cellar.
disinfect.
Grill.
When the big 'ghost' was fully cooked, Jason bit it down.
If the little 'ghost' is like a spicy duck neck.
That big 'ghost' was like a whole duck.
Roasted duck.
Still the kind with its own spiciness.
The skin is crispy on the outside, and the inside is soft and tender. When you take a bite, the juice splashes and there is a touch of spicy taste.
Something like Orleans.
【Ghost Devourer (Big. Pseudo)】
[Excess recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries! 】
【Saturation +200】
[Saturation: 711]
[Excitement of eating +1]
【Eating Excitement: 16】
...
"Fake?"
"Not seriously injured?"
Jason looked at the text in front of him, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then, his previous guesses became a little more.
Really, pathetic bait!
Jason was thinking silently in his heart, and his eyes were on the excitement of Shi Zhi.
Every bit of food excitement makes him feel happy.
"It's 16 o'clock."
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Thinking of this, Jason picked up the remaining food.
Although according to the aroma, there is no possibility of food excitement in these foods, and even the satiety of each piece is not too high, but there are a lot of them, there are a total of 21 pieces.
For Jason, it was also a rare dessert.
Jason started washing and disinfecting again.
While Jason was washing and disinfecting, a man was furious on a tall building ten kilometers away from this block.
"what happened?"
"Why were the cluster bombs fired without my order?"
"Damn it!"
"Are you all pigs?"
The man slapped the railing angrily while yelling over the radio.
However, the answer from the radio side was even more astonishing.
"Sir, it's your order!"
"We launched after receiving your order!"
The subordinate's answer made the man startled.
Then……
The man turned and ran.
Unfortunately, it's a little late.
A tall figure stood in front of him.
