Chapter 45, Disobedient Spiritual Weapon

Carrying a rope and a tough fishing net rolled up in his hands, Gere picked up the horse tied to the door of the shop and left.

Next to the shop was the Annoying South Pass, so Kil got on his horse and ran for two steps before dismounting. He first tied his horse to a wooden hitching post in front of the pass that was crowded with other horses.

"Watch, I'll be back in a moment."

After saying this, Keir wanted to run, but was suddenly stopped by a young soldier standing next to the hitching post.

"Are you here to see Lord Ika? There are too many people here. Do you want to come again tomorrow? Look, there are so many horses here that they can't be tied down!"

The soldier pointed to the hitching post that was full of horses and motioned for Keir to leave, but his tone was friendly.

Kil blinked. Unexpectedly, there were many people rushing over to express condolences to Knight Ika. However, he did not come to see this unknown young knight, so he took out a copper coin from his pocket and said, "Brother, I am not If you come to see the Ika knight, just tie up your horse here and come back later. Keep an eye on it for me, and I’ll give you a copper coin when I come back. Thank you.”

After saying that, he put the coin into the other party's hand. The other party hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it.

Kil turned around and walked towards where Angry Nanguan might go down through the stairs to reach the river bank.

-

The level is built around the angry stone bridge, and the whole body is made of tall and tough tree trunks, earth and stone. There are large checkpoint buildings on both sides of the doorway connected by the main stone bridge. Soldiers and knights, as well as the administrative clerks and tax collectors all live here together.

The checkpoint building on the west side is where knights and literate officials live, while the other side is where the more dirty soldiers live.

Just now, Kil saw on the river bank that the stairs going down along the river bank were on the side where the soldiers lived, so he strode towards it.

As he expected, the rooms where the soldiers lived here were all locked and tightly closed. There were not many people in the second-story building. At this time, everyone ran to the other side of the level where the knights lived to look after the knights and maintain the rush. The people who came over were in order.

A middle-aged soldier with a beard and a broken leg was sitting in the yard where the checkpoint soldiers lived, barely sawing a piece of wood with a hand saw.

"What do you do? Who are you here to find?"

Seeing that Kil was carrying a large roll of rope and a fishing net on his shoulder, the disabled soldier asked curiously.

"I'm going down to the river bank by the stairs. Do you know where to go from here?"

Someone answered him, and Keir asked for directions directly and politely.

"Over there." The disabled veteran pointed to a passage next to the wall. There were some debris piled there, blocking a good passage.

"Thank you." After saying that, Kil walked over directly, pushed aside the debris blocking the way, and prepared to go down.

But the disabled veteran put down the carpentry work in his hands and limped over with a wooden leg: "Looking at you holding a fishing net, you want to go fishing, right? I advise you not to go, there are many carnivores in the Angry River. Fish, look, my legs were bitten off a few years ago by those big fish that swim upstream every year."

But his kind-hearted Kil didn't care, he just smiled at the people, and then continued to move away the wooden boxes and debris blocking the road to make a way through.

"The Lord Knight didn't recommend that people go down there two years ago. Those fish were very ferocious. Many children died in the river just because they were playing in the water, and were fed to the monsters in the river. Hey, who would go out to catch the fish themselves now? It is to pull up ropes on both sides of the river bank and lower the net directly in the air.”

The man said a few words, but seeing that the strange face of Keir was indifferent, he gave up after a few words of advice: "You look pretty big anyway, remember to catch the fish and don't go into the river, just catch it from the bank. That's right. Don't go too far away from the stone bridge, the monsters in the water are afraid of our bridge."

Keir walked through the corridor he had vacated and came to the end of the place, where a black mesh iron gate stood in front of him.

Fortunately, this thing is not locked, and only uses a wooden pin to control the opening and closing. This seemingly unopenable metal mesh gate can be pushed forward by removing the wooden pin.

Crunch——

The harsh sound of the door bolt sounded, followed by a downward spiral staircase, which was half exposed and half carved into the rocks on the river bank.

The stairs were covered in dirt and weeds, and it had obviously not been cleaned for two or three years.

"Boy, if you go down, remember not to stay too far away from the stone bridge. We are not on the opposite level. There are ferocious monster swamp frogs. Be careful in the water."

Standing outside the passage full of debris, the disabled middle-aged soldier reminded him again. Seeing that Kil walked down the stairs without any care, he shook his head and went back to work.

Not long after the stone bridge was built, soldiers in the checkpoint often used this staircase to go down to fish and eat meat. It was also a popular place for people living near the checkpoint.

But many times people are washed away by the river, either attacked by monsters in the river, or eaten by predatory fish during the annual seasonal fishing season.

Gradually, people stopped letting their children come over to play, and then people stopped going there. We are not really fishermen anyway, so why not rely on checkpoints and trade routes to make money for business trips?

The soldiers also gave up their lives depending on the river after being killed and wounded many times on the Nui River. They all understand that even though humans have built such a large cross-river bridge on the Angry River, they still have not been able to conquer this river that has only been in contact for a long time.

On the opposite side, the people of Beiguan relied on the huge monster frogs obtained from the swamps of the lower reaches of the river to sail on the Nuangu River and do business quickly moving downstream to make money.

-

Keir walked down the slightly dimly lit spiral stone staircase. When he entered the stone staircase, he was wearing ordinary casual clothes, but when he reached the bottom of the stone staircase, he had already changed into a full-covered iron armor and carried a sling around his waist. He hunts with a long sword, and holds a blue two-handed ax in both hands.

He even took the opportunity to rest in his dream, relieving his body from being weakened by the exercise of life energy.

There was nothing at the bottom of the stone staircase, only some sand and pebbles left when the river rose. Keir strode out of the stone staircase and came to the river bank at the bottom of the bridge.

Looking up from the bottom here, the stone bridge, which I didn't think was that powerful before, looks particularly huge and gloomy, like part of a giant snake's body protruding from the rocks on the river bank, emerging above the Angry River, and then burrowing into the rocks on the other side. Same as in the river bank.

Just when Kil looked up at the stone bridge, he suddenly caught the afternoon sunlight and discovered something carved on the bottom of the stone bridge. It looked like stone murals carved on the bottom of the bridge.

Because it was too high, there was a lot of green moss growing on the carved murals, making it difficult to see clearly, so Kiel gave up observing.

He discerned the direction of the river, and then strode downstream.

Not far away, during this time, Knight Crow had driven the three-meter-tall water ghost to the river bank.

Kil's metal boots made a crisp collision sound with large and small pebbles on the ground, which immediately attracted the attention of Knight Crow and the water ghost.

"Kiel? Why did you come down after being armed if you weren't carrying him up there?"

Knight Crow took two steps away from the water ghost, and then asked Kil. While speaking, he waved his sword at the cunning water ghost to prevent the water ghost from slipping into the river.

The water ghost also waved his injured arms to force Knight Crow away, while violently twisting his head and staring at the blue two-handed ax in Kil's palm.

A metal head similar to this water ghost on the ax shone brightly, causing the entire ax to vibrate slightly.

Kil felt the change of the ax in his hand, and when he walked towards the two, he answered Knight Crow's words: "Sir, I am coming down to help you. I am busy with my affairs, I cannot remain indifferent, I must do something."

Knight Crow did not refute what he said. He obviously agreed with Kiel's words and was quite satisfied with it.

"Okay, you restrain the opponent for a moment, and I'll finish it off. Its claws are poisonous but not very sharp. You rush up to grab it and drag it down!"

In Knight Crow's opinion, since Kiel was wearing armor at this time, he could take advantage of the armor's high defense and weight to rush forward and hug the water ghost, giving him a chance to kill him.

But Kil Dian Dian had a water-crossing skull in his hand that had not been used for a while, and thought that if he could try the weapon on his own, it might have some miraculous effects.

Thinking of this, Kil quickly explained to Knight Crow: "Sir, my weapon has a metal head of a water ghost inlaid on it. I heard that it was the monster that the original owner of this ax killed first."

Knight Crow raised his eyebrows, glanced at the weapon in Kil's hand, and saw the shining head of the water ghost.

"This weapon is ready to move. It seems that it wants to show off and get close to one of its sources of experience."

Knight Crow snorted and laughed. Apparently Kiel's humorous statement was interesting: "Then let the two of them come into contact. I'm also curious about how strong the water ghost's head is."

"But remember, you are the master of the weapon, not the slave of the weapon. A knight is a strong man who uses weapons to exert force, and will not be controlled by his own weapons."

After advising Kil, Knight Crow took two steps back again, came to the river, blocked the opportunity for the water ghost to get close to the river, and then let Kil take action.

-

Seeing Knight Crow give up the fighting position, Kil gasped excitedly, took a deep breath, put down his visor and quickly rushed towards the water ghost who was far above him.

A heavy ax weighing more than ten kilograms was placed on the shoulder of the armor, while Kil's hands held the new handle of the ax one after another.

The water ghost was not stupid either. It was cunning and cunning. It immediately saw that the naked Crow Knight moved away and sent it to fight the new humans.

It is not afraid of fighting. As one of the monsters transformed from human corpses after death, this monster is full of hatred for humans. There is no need to be driven by the angry river lord today. It will usually attack every human being near the river.

It's just that most of the time, humans have taken boats, and they have raised many tough giant swamp frogs to pull the boats, so they haven't eaten fresh human flesh in several years.

I was lucky enough to meet two humans today. Although they looked difficult to deal with, they were full of fighting spirit.

The water ghost opened its mouth wide and swung its long tongue around demonstratively, then suddenly opened its arms to grab Keir.

The ten carrot-like fingers have long sharp claws on their tips, and they look more like beasts than humans. There was an unknown shit-yellow substance on the sharp claws that looked like ointment, which looked very unhygienic.

Kil did not defend himself. Faced with the sharp claws grabbing from the left and right, he directly stood on his front feet and supported himself with his back feet. Then he used the inertia of his body to move forward, swinging his arms and swinging the ax, and slashed hard towards the middle of the water ghost's torso. .

call.

The ax made a horrifying whistling sound in an instant, and Keir, who saw the opportunity, took a step forward and slashed at the body of the water ghost.

The careless water ghost overestimated the defense power of his body and underestimated the special weapon in Kil's hand.

It didn't know how powerful and dangerous this metal thing that attracted it was, and thought that the slippery mucus on its chest and the scales on its chest could block the blow.

But the result made him regret it.

With a snort, the slippery mucus had no effect. These items are very protective against lighter weapons and can easily cause those lightweight items to spin and slide away.

At the same time, the water ghost's confident scales could not block the sharp edge of the ax from cutting into it. The moment the ax touched the scales, the ax flashed blue, and the scales instantly lost their hardness and became soft, allowing the strong and heavy ax to cut into the body of the water ghost.

There was a chopping sound, and a huge wound from the water ghost's stomach to the bottom of his abdomen appeared on the surprised water ghost's face.

It was hard for the water ghost with a mouth that took up half of its face to be able to express itself, but it was a surprise. The monster was extremely tenacious in its life. Although it did not expect the consequences of this blow to be so serious, it used its sharp swords even more ferociously. The claws penetrated Kil's body.

Clang - squeak, sparks flew everywhere, ten sharp claws like daggers pulled out sparks on the front of Kil's body, dragging a shallow scratch on the steel surface, and the softer armor part was half a finger. Thickness of scratches.

But even so, Kil was still not injured, but because of the huge force after being caught, he was knocked back a full meter with the ax in his hand.

The metal boots under Kil's feet knocked away several pebbles blocking the road as he retreated, leaving two drag marks left by his soles on the river bank.

Barely maintaining his balance after being injured, Kil looked at the viscous translucent liquid on the axe, and immediately discovered that the water ghost's blood turned out to be transparent, like river water, and could even reflect light.

Next to him, Knight Crow also took advantage of the water ghost and Keir's duel to make a small and silent jump, jumping directly to the leg behind the water ghost. He squinted his eyes to control the shape of the magic blade on the long sword, swung the jagged vibrating magic blade at the water ghost's heel veins, and then pulled the long sword behind the opponent's knees and legs.

Like the rotating leaves falling from the tree, at this moment, Knight Crow's long sword whirled across the water ghost's legs in all directions.

Because this kind of place needs to exert force, there is no solid scales to block it. Slippery slime is a bit troublesome, but the extra blade made up purely of the magic released by the long sword is not something that slime substances can stop.

There were four snapping sounds of tendons, causing the tall water ghost who had just been injured on the front of his body to fall to the ground in an instant.

-

"Pfft." Kil breathed out, then raised his breath and endured the pain, raised his ax with both hands, and struck down the strong water ghost's arm that fell in front of him.

The ugly water ghost felt in danger, and immediately raised its head, opened its huge mouth with sharp teeth that could swallow a whole child in one breath, and spat out a large mouthful of milky yellow unknown mucus towards Kil.

These things were slippery and had a suspicious smell that sprayed all over Keir.

But Kil's subsequent ax did not change. He still raised it high and then slashed it down with full strength.

The water ghost hurriedly propped himself up with one hand and raised the other hand to block the path of Keir's axe.

puff! A sound of skin and flesh tearing and bones breaking sounded from the water ghost's left arm.

The blue ax slashed down along the raised arm of the water ghost like a bamboo, directly from the middle of the opponent's palm along the bones of the palm, ruthlessly tearing open the water ghost's entire arm from the strongest point.

"It's a bit awesome." Knight Crow praised.

Then he turned his sword and inserted the long sword full of gems in his hand upside down through the water ghost's thigh and stuck it on the ground on the river bank. An earthy yellow brilliance flashed and nailed the water ghost to the ground.

Kil gasped and smelled a stench. He immediately held his breath and lifted the ax from the water ghost's tattered arm again, took a step back, and then raised the ax high, preparing to chop off the water ghost's head with an axe.

"etc!"

Knight Crow quickly stopped Kil's movement: "Don't forget why you dealt with this water ghost!" He saw the ropes and fishing nets tied to Kil's armor belt.

Pointing at these two things: "Tie it up and take it back to the military camp. Only the living thing can have a better effect. Of course it's the same as dead, but it's best if it's alive."

Kil put down the ax in his hand while enduring the stench on his body.

But he and Knight Crow never imagined that when the ax fell to the ground and escaped from Kiel's hand, the entire ax vibrated with blue light. Then he jumped on the ground, spun around in the air, and hit the water ghost in the middle of the head.

The strong osteoma and spikes on the water ghost's head looked just like fakes. They were split open by the axe. Then the heavy ax smashed the water ghost's head from the middle. The remaining force blasted into the brain of the water ghost, killing the water ghost. His brains exploded out of the water ghost's ears and mouth.

"Hey! Hey, forget it." Before Knight Crow could stop him, he and Kil saw this spiritual weapon executing the defeated water ghost monster on their own.

Knight Crow scratched the short beard on his chin with his fingers and exhaled: "As I said, this kind of weapon is really not obedient."

Kil was also stunned. He was not afraid, but he really didn't expect this result. He also wanted to capture a living water ghost monster as Knight Crow said.

But x-on:#￥ # , this weapon actually killed the caught water ghost on its own?

Vaguely, Kil could hear many chewing sounds coming from the axe. Seeing that Knight Crow didn't seem to hear it, Kil was furious. These guys, these monsters who were bound in the axe. , and even ate it at this time! !

How unreasonable!

He immediately bent down and pulled the ax handle, trying to pull the ax out.

But in Knight Crow's playful eyes, no matter how hard Kil pulled, he couldn't pull the ax off the water ghost's head.

"Disobedient?"

Kil was embarrassed to answer and could only shrug.

"Hmph, I know it. Ignore these for now, tie up this water ghost with a rope while it's still fresh, and then cover it with a net. I'll put on my clothes, and I'll sneak this thing back to the camp in a while. You go back the way you came. Remember not to tell anyone. Let's take this thing back secretly. Let the people who are angry at Nanbei Pass know, and there will be a division of interests. Do you understand? Don't tell anyone."

"I'll go back and borrow a magic weapon from the Baron, freeze this thing, and process it for you on the way so you can eat it."

The last sentence really shocked Keir. What, he actually wanted to eat this disgusting thing?

"Can you not eat this? Oh, ugh." After Kil said, he quickly turned around and vomited out the mask.

Knight Crow snorted: "Young man, it's too late!"
