Chapter 263: The Evolution of the Young Slider, a Retainer of the Ogiwara Family

[You come to the iron cage again...]

['Young Hua Lao' clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were filled with the flames of revenge. 】

[Looking at his appearance, I want to escape from the prison immediately, follow you to the castle tower, kill the castle daimyo, and avenge his grandfather. 】

[As long as you destroy the cage, you can release the 'Young Slider'...]

[Apostle who deceives young children, you have triggered the relevant conditions. 】

[‘The origin-tracing young Hua Lao’ has volunteered to be your companion, do you accept it? 】

"Huh? Follow your partner."

Lin Xun remembered that the Valkyrie was originally an ordinary summoning doll.

She used the 'Secret Essence of Bronze' to evolve into a follower companion. Later, the Puppet Mechanic sacrificed her life and gave her the 'Heart of Bronze', which upgraded the Valkyrie to a growable Watcher.

Following companions is not much different from ordinary summons, except that it has the function of wearable equipment.

Its potential is also very limited, not even as good as a shikigami. As long as the shikigami is injected with spirituality, it can increase its level to keep up with the current difficulty of the apostle.

In order to upgrade and strengthen the following companion, you need to use specific props just like strengthening the three-headed lion.

The ‘Sky Demon Slippery Ghost’s Life Soul Bead’ on hand should be the designated power-up item.

Lin Xun thought for a moment and understood that the option of following his companions should be prepared for apostles who did not have the body of a summoner.

After thinking for a moment, he pressed 'no' and continued to subdue the slippery ghost as a shikigami according to the original plan.

[You shake your head and explain that you understand that it is eager for revenge at this moment, but there is a barrier guarding the outside of Faxiang Temple, and there is only one access token. If it breaks through forcefully, it may cause a large army to encircle and suppress it. 】

[Even if you are a 'descendant of the Dragon God', you will still be unable to defeat the many believers of the New God. 】

['Young Hua Lao' was startled when he heard this, thinking that there was no hope of getting out of trouble and seeking revenge, and he couldn't help but feel downcast. 】

[You continue to explain that although you are invincible, you have ways to outsmart him. 】

[You are a 'Dragonborn'. You have an extremely unique 'Transformation Technique'. You can transform into believers of the New God who have been killed before. Not only can you get their form, but also their spirit. 】

[Now you have to use the Onmyoji skills of the New God believers to accept it as a shikigami, so that you can escape from Hoxiang Temple silently. 】

[Just using suppressive objects to suppress it and applying the 'Edict to Suppress Evil' spell will cause great pain, and no resistance is allowed during the process...]

[Only in the middle of your words, 'Young Hua Lao' said firmly, as long as it can avenge its grandfather, even if the Lord Dragonborn erases its mind, it will not resist at all! 】

When Lin Xun saw that the fire was almost done, he started the process of conquering it.

[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Palace Master of Ixie Palace who worships fire’! 】

[You used the ‘Brilliant Killing Stone’ (legendary item)! 】

[Countless tiny blood threads condensed on the surface of the 'Brilliant Killing Stone', and a dazzling blood light burst out, penetrating the cage and covering Hua Laiao's body. 】

[Then the blood light gathered and took the 'Young Sliding Ladle' back into the killing stone. 】

[Suppression is being determined...]

【……】

[The level of the town item is slightly greater than that of the 'Traceable Juvenile Slide', the judgment is successful! 】

[The killing stone did not vibrate at all, and was as calm as a dead thing. It was obvious that the slipper within it did not resist. 】

[Soon, the surface of the killing stone shone with light. 】

[You have successfully suppressed the 'tracing-to-origin juvenile slipper'! 】

[You hold the imperial string in your hand, form a seal and recite the mantra: Return to your destiny! Universal diamonds! Violent demon barrier! Bind ghosts and subjugate demons! All evil is trapped! Everything is pure! 】

[‘Onmyoji Technique: Order to Suppress Evil’ is activated! 】

[Countless golden tadpole spells appeared in the sky and rushed into the killing stone...]

[In the dark, you hear the groaning sound of the young Huaguo clenching his teeth, as if he is enduring great pain. 】

[Your powerful soul seems to be in harmony with a strange soul, forming a bond and brand. 】

[Do you want to erase Hua Lao's mind for subsequent control? 】

Lin Xun pressed 'no' as usual.

Next, all he needs to do is go to the castle tower and he will be able to make Hua Lao swear his loyalty without any need to wipe out his mind.

[You have successfully adopted the ‘Traceable Child Hua Lao’ as a shikigami! 】

[Current order slot: 2/5, with shikigami: 'The origin of the mountain snow girl', 'The origin of the young slipper'. 】

View Lin Xun Shikigami panel.

[Shikigami——‘The traceable childhood slipper’]

[Shikigami level: 30 (+)]

[Shikigami quality: epic + level]

[Shikigami Equipment: Linen Clothes (Broken Level): The rough linen clothes are in tatters and stained with many blood stains, as if telling the story of the many sufferings the master has experienced. 】

[Shikigami skills: none]

"This attribute is really stretched..."

It is understandable that underage monsters have low attributes.

Fortunately, Lin Xun also has a special prop that can be used to improve the strength of 'Young Hua Lao'.

Summoning the slide that had been stored in the command column again, he opened the inventory and clicked on the props.

[Do you want to use the ‘Sky Demon Slippery Ghost’s Life Soul Pearl’? 】

[After using this prop, your shikigami ‘Original Young Slide’ will greatly improve its attributes and learn related sorcery skills...]

[The soul of life bead flashed with a green-black light, and then turned into a stream of light and threw it into the body of 'Young Hua Lao'...]

['Young Hua Lao' has a strong dragon-yin aura all over its body, steaming like mist, covering its young body. 】

[The monster's painful roar comes from the dense mist. You can't see its expression clearly, but you can clearly see its child-like body gradually growing...]

[When the fog dissipated, the original young child had turned into a teenager. Measured in human years, it was estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old. 】

[Your shikigami ‘the origin-tracing young slipper’ has grown into the ‘source-tracing slippery ghost’! 】

Lin Xun quickly opened the panel to check.

[Shikigami——‘The traceable ghost’]

[Shikigami level: 50 (+)]

[Shikigami quality: epic + level]

[Shikigami Equipment: Azabu Yi (Broken Level):...]

[Shikigami Skill: Hex·Phantom Phantom (Epic + Level): Using this skill, you can use the power of the soul (spiritual power) to create a mirage and ghost, including the enemy. In Phantom Phantom, the damage taken by enemies will be greatly increased. 】

[Shikigami Skills: Magic·Suicide Incarnation (Epic + Level): When the Slippery Ghost suffers fatal damage, this skill will take effect on its own. The slippery ghost will use powerful soul power (mental power) to create a soul clone on the spot, and it will instantly move to a safe area aside. This skill will consume a large amount of the shikigami's "Era Fallen Dragon Yin" power. 】

[Shikigami Skill: Magic·Tianyou True Form (Epic + Level): Using this skill, the Slippery Ghost will release all the power of the Tenyou, manifesting the form of the Deep Sea Monster in a short period of time, causing extremely terrifying damage. force. 】

[Because young monsters are still unable to perfectly control this power, after the release of the power of the sky monster, the slick ghost will exhaust and die, and it will take the strength of the soul to reshape the shikigami. 】

[You look at the slightly grown monster in front of you and understand that this is not the strongest strength of the Slippery Ghost. 】

[When it truly grows into a celestial demon, it may be as powerful as its grandfather...but the number of years it will take may be counted in ten or hundred years. 】

"This panel attribute makes sense!"

The level increase of Slippery Ghost from level 30 to level 50 is still a trivial matter. The most important thing is to master three epic + level sorcery skills.

An auxiliary damage-increasing skill, a life-saving skill, and the last transformation output skill.

Although there are not many skills, they are very comprehensive.

Slippery Ghost can usually be used as a damage-increasing auxiliary shikigami. When it lacks output, it can transform into a sky demon and sea monster and become a BOSS.

It's just that the level of the fifty-level shikigami is a bit low...

Lin Xun was determined and spent huge sums of money to raise the level of Slippery Ghost to level 65.

After the operation, he took back the Shikigami Slippery Ghost and prepared to leave Jintang, but saw the game text continued to display.

[You stride forward and are about to step out of the golden hall gate, but you hear the reluctant calls of a group of little monsters behind you...]

[You look back at the little monsters covered in bruises, and you can’t help but feel pity...]

[Do you want to save them now? 】

"It's not time yet."

Lin Xun turned around and left, returning to the top of the five-story pagoda.

Click on the rest page to be sent back to the library.

After spending some money in the 'Book of Trade', I purchased a weapon for each of the Slippery Ghost and the Snow Girl.

[Snow and Ice Crystal Scepter (Epic Weapon): A long staff made of azure blue ice crystals, with a fist-sized ice element magic gem inlaid on the top. Using this weapon will greatly enhance the effectiveness of frost spells. 】

[Psychic Amplification Spoon (Epic Weapon): A huge spoon as tall as a human, with super telepathy left by some strange creature still on it. Using this weapon will greatly enhance the effect of telekinesis/mental power spells. 】

Perhaps because of their narrow scope of application, the two weapons are not expensive.

Lin Xun spent 250,000 souls to acquire two weapons.

Fortunately, there was a large-scale sale of Zhaifu magic weapons and other woolen equipment from the 'Wuzhi Shrine'. After a small recovery of blood, I now have more than 700,000 souls left in my pocket.

As for armor-like equipment, Lin Xun was not willing to spend money.

Both shikigami have their own life-saving skills, and they are not human shield-type summoned creatures in urgent need of armor.

And the three-headed lion, the only human shield-type summon, cannot wear equipment and armor. It's not that Lin Xun is stingy, it's just that the three-headed lion can't wear it.

Money should be spent wisely. After all, landlords don’t have enough food left in their homes these days...

After strengthening the two shikigami, Lin Xun returned to the chapter.

There are still two opportunities to practice the 'Mirage Dragon's Colorful Scales'. Each time lasts for six hours. If you hang up and practice twice, you will be able to practice it until tomorrow morning.

【……】

[The colorful scales emit mirage, and the mirage seems to contain scenes of countless monsters practicing hard. 】

[You have a clear understanding in your heart, sit down cross-legged, and start meditating...]

[Cultivating...]

…

When Lin Xun woke up the next day, Long Yin's training had ended.

The attribute of 'Eshuo Longyin' has been increased from the 20th level to the 24th level.

However, before he had time to check the improvement brought by the increase in attributes, he saw another trouble in the underworld game.

【……】

[You are at the top of the tower and suddenly hear the footsteps of many people coming from the lower level. 】

[Although it was already early in the morning, it was not yet the opening hours of the Faxiang Temple, so this kind of movement seemed a bit uncharacteristic. 】

[Do you want to go check it out? 】

Lin Xun frowned and pressed 'Yes'.

[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Fire Worshiping Heartless Ninja Master’! 】

[You open a pair of dark eyes, turn around, and hide your figure...]

[You climb over the fence from the top of the tower to the fourth floor, and when you reach the fourth floor, you see more than ten fully armed warriors hurriedly climbing up the tower, seemingly looking for something. 】

[A warrior strides towards you...]

[Do you want to kill all these warriors? 】

Lin Xun was startled, a thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly pressed 'no'.

[You remain invisible and sideways to avoid the warrior. 】

[But I saw him striding forward, splitting the isolation fence with a knife, and calling a few warriors to climb to the top of the tower to search. 】

[You secretly avoided the searching warriors, went straight down, and stepped out of the gate at the bottom of the tower. You saw that the Golden Palace not far away had been blocked by a large number of people. 】

[The people surrounding the guards are all tall warriors wearing armor and carrying swords at their waists! 】

[A series of shrill screams came from the direction of the Golden Palace...]

[You continue to remain invisible and slowly approach the circle of warriors. 】

[A group of warriors surrounded the Golden Palace, leaving no space at all. 】

[You are of such short stature that you cannot see what is happening in the Golden Palace. You can only hear the miserable howls of the little monsters. 】

[Tap your toes lightly on the ground and jump into the circle...]

[I saw the gate of the Golden Palace open, with dozens of warriors standing inside, each holding a whip in front of the iron cage to beat the monsters in the cage...]

[The monsters gritted their teeth, and even though they were beaten until they screamed and their skin was torn all over, they did not say a single word. 】

[A figure who looks like a gorgeously dressed official has a gloomy face and yells loudly, don’t tell me, right? Then smoke! Smoke until you die! 】

[If you dare to cover up the Slippery Ghost's escape, even if you beat all the despicable 'evil remnants' to death, it will not be worth the loss of the Slippery Ghost's escape. 】

[You discovered the ‘Fire Worshiping Ogiwara Family Retainer’! 】

[The 'Ogiwara family retainer' ordered and asked someone to drag in a samurai covered in bloodstains. 】

[That samurai looks very familiar to you. He is the samurai on duty outside Faxiang Temple. You secretly bribed him several times before you could enter Faxiang Temple at night. 】

[I saw that this warrior had been tortured to the point of being reduced to a human shape, and all he could see was that there was no air coming out but no air coming in. 】

[The 'fire-worshipping retainer of the Ogiwara family' announced loudly that the samurai on duty neglected their duties and allowed the slippery ghost to escape and should be executed! 】

[After saying this, it drew out the fine sword from its waist and chopped off the warrior's head with one strike. 】

[At this time, many samurai have completed the search and returned to the Golden Palace to report the situation to the 'Ogiwara family retainers'. 】

[They reported that they had searched every corner of Faxiang Temple, both inside and outside, but could not find any trace of the Slippery Ghost. 】

[Presumably the slippery ghost has escaped...]

[The ‘Ogiwara family retainer’ was furious, shouted loudly, and sealed the city! The slippery ghost is a shikigami monster appointed by the head of the family. How could he escape and disappear like this? ! 】

【Lose the city immediately! If these 'evil remnants' refuse to reveal the truth, they will all be executed! 】

[After saying that, the 'Ogiwara family retainer' walked away surrounded by many samurai, and was about to leave Hoshoji Temple...]

[Apostle, what should you do? 】
