Chapter 37 Mysterious Relics
She watched as the man went to the swamp to rescue his female companion.
Chi Le watched as Yu Xun casually wiped the bloodstains off the broadsword in his hand.
It's clear that after several nights in the bizarre world, Yu Xun has gradually become accustomed to the demons and evil spirits of that world.
When dealing with sudden demons, while not necessarily effortless, at least we won't be as helpless as we were the first time.
Yu Xun noticed Chi Le's gaze.
"Hey buddy, there's something off about the way you've been looking at me since just now."
"Don't try anything funny with me, bro. We're on your side, don't try to outsmart me!"
Yu Xun became highly alert, squinted, and took a few steps back, one hand still behind his back as if covering something.
Chi Le: "..."
He took a few steps closer to Yu Xun, and Yu Xun took a few steps back.
Chi Le stopped walking when he reached the six-legged toad lying motionless on the ground.
"No, don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll scream!"
Yu Xun held the broad-bladed dagger in front of him, his panic even greater than when facing the evil spirits and demons in the eerie mist.
"Stop talking nonsense, let me borrow your knife."
Chi Le stretched out his hand and cursed.
"Ah...oh."
Yu Xun paused for a moment, then, with a lingering wariness, handed the short knife to Chi Le.
As soon as Chi Le took the knife, Yu Xun immediately stepped back.
It was as if Chi Le was some kind of monstrous flood.
That speed was comparable to that of a rabbit that comes out to forage for food but suddenly encounters a predator and turns to run back to its burrow.
Having obtained the dagger, Chi Le weighed it a few times, his gaze fixed on the old, seemingly used dagger for many years.
[Mysterious Relic: Fish-Killing Knife]
[Effect: Increases damage dealt to aquatic and fish-like elusive demons.]
Ten years of killing fish, my heart is colder than a knife.
"A bizarre relic?"
Chi Le raised an eyebrow, shifting her gaze from the knife to Yu Xun.
"Did you just get this knife from the barbecue restaurant?"
"How is that possible? This is my first time entering a ghost... no... right, I just got it from the barbecue restaurant."
Yu Xun once again pulled back from the brink, stopping himself from revealing the bizarre world he was about to speak of.
"Phew, I almost blurted that out. Dude, you're really something!"
Yu Xun secretly wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.
But in fact, his current environment and his past behavior have already perfectly betrayed him.
Chi Le examined the short knife in his hand.
[Mysterious Relic: Fish-Killing Knife]
Judging from its name and the explanation given by Qingshan Temple, this is an item with extraordinary attributes.
Using this short sword to fight against evil spirits and demons with specific attributes provides a significant advantage.
Just like a counter weapon in a game.
Most importantly.
Yu Xun took this thing out of the mortal world!
In other words, the fish-killing knife can travel with its wielder between the real world and the bizarre world.
Its rarity and value are self-evident.
A weapon that can be carried into a bizarre world.
How many low-level day-returners, who always enter the bizarre world empty-handed, would be envious of this?
"I know so little about the strange world."
Chi Le thought to herself.
"perhaps……"
He glanced at Yu Xun, whose face had inexplicably become more smug.
"Looking for an opportunity to join the Special Operations Bureau?"
"At least obtain more information about this bizarre world?"
Chi Le shook his head.
Joining an official organization directly might increase the likelihood of revealing your affiliation with Qingshan Temple.
This is not what Chi Le wants to see now that he's being exposed.
"Let's take it one step at a time and deal with the immediate issues first."
He crouched down and looked down at one of the six-legged toads lying on the ground.
He didn't initially ask Yu Xun to borrow the knife because he realized it was a "strange relic."
He simply wanted a handy weapon.
puff.
The short knife in Chi Le's hand was almost completely embedded in the six-legged toad's head.
Aside from the possibility of bumping into a toad's skull, which adds a sense of unease,
The process of the dagger piercing the six-legged toad's head was very smooth.
It's as easy as piercing a piece of tofu.
It was originally lying on the ground, like a six-legged toad that had long since died.
After Chi Le "greeted" with a short knife.
It leaped enthusiastically from the ground, its fleshy tongue waving back and forth around its body, searching for the creature that had stabbed it. Once the tongue wrapped around it, it could simply swallow it whole and suffocate it to death.
Fortunately, Chi Le succeeded in his move.
Immediately step back and create some space.
The thrashing tongue couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
The six-legged toad's futile struggles only hastened the bleeding from its wounds.
Before long, all six of its legs lost their strength.
The massive body lost its support and crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
It splashed up countless streams of muddy sewage.
[Defeat the unranked demon, the Six-Legged Toad, to obtain the bizarre artifact: the Six-Legged Toad's Leg.]
Item received!
Seeing the prompt in front of him, Chi Le followed the same method and stabbed the remaining three six-legged toads in the forehead with his short knife.
Except for one that didn't die and struggled for a while, the other two were truly and completely dead.
[Defeat the unranked demon—the Six-Legged Toad—to obtain the Mysterious Creation: Mysterious Core x1.]
The [Strange Core] and [Six-Legged Toad's Leg] appeared directly in his inventory.
Chi Le handed the dagger back to Yu Xun and casually placed his hand on Yu Xun's shoulder.
"Remember to finish them off."
Yu Xun looked somewhat embarrassed and disappointed.
The awkwardness stemmed from the fact that I was someone who had entered the bizarre world three times.
Yet he was taught how to finish off an opponent by an ordinary person who had never entered this bizarre world.
He felt a sense of loss because he realized that Chi Le didn't share Cheng Chengren's thoughts. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a slight sense of unease.
"this one?"
"otherwise?"
Chi Le withdrew his hand, which had already been wiped clean of blood, and nodded to the several six-legged toad corpses on the ground that were completely dead, indicating to Yu Xun.
"You seem to know this place well, aren't you going to explain?"
Yu Xun frowned, his lips almost forming a straight line.
It was as if he was struggling to hold back the words that were about to burst out.
In the end, he swallowed those words.
"There are rules about this, so I can't say."
Yu Xun shook his head, his expression solemn, and added a final sentence.
"If I tell you, it will affect you, like..." Yu Xun stopped, thinking of the report about Old Wang. "I don't want that."
"Does it affect me?"
Seeing Yu Xun's hesitant expression, Chi Le tentatively filled in the gaps.
"Like... Old Wang?"
Chi Le immediately thought of Lao Wang.
Aside from falling into a bizarre world, it's almost certain that Old Wang already died there.
He couldn't think of anyone else.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xun paused in his grip on the knife and nodded slowly and with difficulty.
Chi Le took in his reaction.
"If you tell me the specifics, I'll go back to my hometown like Old Wang did?"
Chi Le pressed his advantage and continued speaking.
Seeing that Yu Xun did not reply, Chi Le knew that she was still a little short of the mark.
"What do you know about the truth behind Old Wang's disappearance?"
"Is the so-called Special Affairs Bureau specifically for handling these kinds of cases?"
Chi Le pointed to the six-legged toad corpse on the ground, waiting for Yu Xun's answer.
He needs to pretend now.
Pretending to know nothing, it would be convenient for him to contact the Special Affairs Bureau as a complete newcomer who had neither owned the Green Mountain Temple nor been to the strange world.
