I Can’t Be a Sword God

"ah……"

"Um……"

"ah……"

"Um……"

"Ahhh..."

"Um?"

...

In the dark mountain where day and night are unknown, strange moans, screams, and strange laughter echoed for a long time. As long as there is a trace of fear in the human heart, it will be infinitely magnified until it is crushed.

Before setting off, the elders of the clan had already warned about this, so Mu Lan always guarded her state of mind and never felt the slightest fear.

She kept reminding herself that as long as you are not afraid, the ghosts here are just ordinary evil spirits, not invincible.

The rustling voices behind her never stopped, together with those strange groans, Mu Lan knew that she was being followed by ghosts.

It tries to frighten itself.

But it was doomed to disappointment.

Mu Lan walked halfway through the dense forest, suddenly jumped forward, lowered her body, and lay down in the bushes, ignoring the sharp branches that scratched her skin.

Before entering the uncanny valley, all nine of them crammed a lot of knowledge about ghosts. She knows that ghosts are not all-knowing and omnipotent. It can lock itself, it must be because it has released something.

So she stood still, held her breath, and concentrated for an instant... as if she had integrated into this jungle in an instant!

This is the talent of Gaoqiao Cave people, and it is the key to their ability to pass on from ancient times to the present and rank among the best among the seventy-two cave barbarians. The forest is their home field.

Mu Lan's skin is bronze, her figure is not slender but her curves are very smooth. Although the weather was cold, she was only wearing a simple animal-print bust and bottoms, with her slender and powerful legs bent.

It looks like a leopard charging for a hunt.

Her eyes are also very beast-like, with strange and clear pupils, dangerous and seductive.

Dark brown lines were rubbed all over her body, and when she held her breath, the breath of her body instantly merged with the surrounding trees, blending into one.

She lay down quietly like this for a long time, and the rustling around her never stopped, that thing seemed to be approaching her.

getting closer...

When both sides of a hunt are in the shadows, the impatient one becomes the prey.

Finally, the ghost appeared.

It seemed to be a little boy.

It was dressed in shabby clothes, with disheveled hair and pale skin, floating out from the depths of the dense forest. The dark pupils turned around, as if looking for something. Its body is less than three feet away from Mu Lan.

coming.

Mu Lan still didn't move.

After a long time, the little boy seemed to be tired of finding it, so he turned around and left in another direction.

It's now!

Mu Lan's body exploded from the bushes, kicking her legs, she seemed to have a lot of strength, and she shot out like a sharp arrow!

At the same time, her left hand was holding a bone knife made of white bones and printed with talismans.

laugh--

The bone knife fell through the wind.

But at this moment, the little boy's hair suddenly parted!

Under the hair on the back of his head, there is actually a face hidden! The eyebrows and eyes of this face are similar to its front, but much more mature, it is the face of an adult man. Putting it on the body of this child is even more terrifying.

Mu Lan was startled, the bone knife was originally intended to open the ghost's head, but now it fell into the ghost's mouth!

Click.

The bone knife was bitten by it!

However, in addition to Mu Lan's true energy, this knife also carries the spells sacrificed by the elders of the clan, which has a strong restraint effect on ghosts.

Hearing a stabbing sound, white smoke came out of the ghost's mouth, and it quickly let go! Squeaking and screaming.

"Daddy..." called the child's face in front.

But Mu Lan didn't hesitate at all, taking advantage of this opportunity, she slashed at the ghost's back with another slash.

"ah……"

A scream came out, but it wasn't the two faces above!

Behind its torn clothes, another adult woman's face was exposed. At this time, there was a bloodstain in the center of this woman's face, and she was screaming.

"Mother..."

The face of the child in the front suddenly turned back, his eyes were scarlet! The screams from the two faces behind seemed to make it go into a runaway state.

Mu Lan didn't expect that at such a young age, she would be carrying the entire family on her back!

"Roar--"

The child's face swooped towards him, and Mu Lan made another stab with his backhand.

pooh-

The child firmly held the blade with both hands, and white smoke rose wildly from the burning in an instant, but he never refused to let go. And the two faces behind it were suddenly torn off, with a sticky skin and flesh, screaming and biting towards Mu Lan.

In desperation, Mu Lan had two choices.

Abandon the knife and dodge the blow.

Without flashing, he tried his best to chop the knife down.

Mu Lan naturally chose the latter! In this kind of fighting, giving up one's most powerful weapon is tantamount to death.

chi chi chi——

Several streaks of blood burst out one after another.

The two faces bit Mu Lan's left and right thighs, and they instantly became fuller, as if they were sucking Mu Lan's flesh and blood!

Mu Lan's bone knife also broke through those hands and landed on the child's body.

With one blow, the ghost's body was cut open.

There is no spine and internal organs inside, only a faint white awn.

"Ah..." The three faces screamed at the same time.

Mu Lan slashed dozens of knives in an instant without mercy! The words "fine", "loyalty", "reward" and "country" were cut out on the dry and thin body.

Boom!

Finally, there was a bang, and the ghost exploded.

A small red glow fell, and Mu Lan staggered to catch the red glow, and put it away carefully, and then lost all of it and fell to the ground.

Blood gurgles from both legs.

Although it was only bitten twice, the ghost possessed a powerful ability to suck flesh and blood. In just an instant, there were two hideous holes on Mu Lan's legs.

"Ah..." Mu Lan first used her true energy to stop the bleeding, then dragged her body to pick two herbs from one side, chewed them up and rubbed them on the wound.

The scorching pain made her let out a cry of pain, and at the same time she was secretly dejected. With such an injury... her battle for the Holy Son may come to an end, and even... it is not certain whether she will be able to leave here alive.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the front.

Mu Lan was startled.

The ghosts in Uncanny Valley obviously have their own territories, why would they come again after killing one just now?

With such a strong smell of blood, it is already very difficult to hide it, so Mu Lan directly picked up the bone knife, ready to fight the enemy with her life!

Crash.

The first thing that sticks out is a black face, dressed in the color of a Taoist priest, with a bulging luggage on his back.

The knife in Mu Lan's hand was raised high!

bring it on!

I'll let you, the devil, see...

There are no weak children in Gaoqiaodong!

But immediately after, a white face poked out again, with an...indescribable feeling.

that feeling...

At that moment, thousands of adjectives flashed through Mu Lan's mind, but in the end, only two words were the most appropriate.

hansome.

"Ah..." Mu Lan couldn't help moaning.

The daughter of Gaoqiaodong suddenly felt soft inside.

There was only one thought in her mind at the moment.

He is a ghost.

That's probably a good ghost.

"Master, this girl seems to be a person."

That black-faced ghost... No, the black-faced Taoist suddenly called out, and the handsome Taoist behind him looked at Mu Lan and nodded slightly.

"That's right."

...

"My name is Mu Lan, and I'm from Gaoqiao Cave..."

A moment later, in a cleared area in the jungle, Mu Lan raised her eyes shyly and said softly.

"According to what you Heluo people say, it is one of the barbarians in the Seventy-two Caves."

"Hello." Li Chu nodded lightly.

No matter what tribe they are, it is quite kind to meet a human being in this valley full of ghosts.

Dulanke asked: "Miss Mulan, why did you come to this terrifying valley?"

"This is a competition for our Gaoqiao Cave to select a new Holy Son." Mu Lan replied, "Our previous Holy Son..."

As she said that, she watched the eyes of the two of them change, and finally said: "Two days ago, I died in the battle with you in Araki Cave. The main reason for our defeat is...your Heluo general Qin Zhenghu Send troops to help Araki Cave."

"This matter..." Li Chu guessed a little bit, so he said: "It is very likely that some villains from the Demon Sect obstructed it, and it was not the decision of the Heluo court. The inside story will be clear in the future."

"Yes." Durante nodded immediately, "Whether that bastard is General Qin himself, and the military order he issued has not been approved by anyone. Miss Mu, don't worry about us in Heluo because of this." bias."

But Mu Lan nodded, "We know that our patriarch has sent someone to Chaoge City to report the situation in southern Xinjiang to your emperor. Including that General Qin, what he did in the Valley of Terror..."

"This place is very familiar to us Gaoqiao Cave people. He thought those actions were secret, but we actually discovered them all."

"So...the news about Chao Ge was passed on by you." Li Chu understood.

"It's just that our holy son died, and we need to quickly select a new holy son." Mu Lan continued: "The way our ethnic group selects the holy son is to send the best of the new generation of young people into this terrifying valley In the end, the one who can go out alive and bring out the most blood demon crystals is the new Holy Son."

"Hey." Duranke exclaimed: "You guys have a wild way, come here to practice courage?"

"It can also be said...the biggest trick to enter the valley of terror is to forget fear." Mu Lan said: "The elders of our ethnic group all said that there are devils who devour human fear here, so they try to make people feel scared. You The more you are afraid, the stronger its power will be. And their power will condense into blood demon crystals."

"Blood Demon Crystal..." Li Chu noticed the word she mentioned twice, "What is that?"

"It is the essence of the power of all the ghosts in the valley of terror. The specific source is not clear, but the stronger the ghost, the bigger and purer the blood magic crystal. This kind of blood magic crystal can be transformed into an inheritance on the altar of our ethnic group. Power, so it is very precious.”

Mu Lan carefully took out a few small, shattered red blood crystals, and showed them as if they were treasures, but she didn't dare to hand them too close, as if she was afraid they would snatch them away.

Seeing the blood demon crystal in her hand, both Li Chu and Duranke fell silent for a while.

"The power it contains is amazing and rare, right?" Mu Lan thought they were shocked by it, and said, "If you have a chance to kill the ghosts in this valley, you can get it."

"Miss Mulan." Li Chu asked, "You said this thing...is very precious?"

"Yes." Mu Lan nodded, "For our ethnic group, it is priceless."

"What is the priceless price?" Li Chu suddenly asked again.

"Huh?" Mulan was taken aback.

Do all men in Heluo chat like this?

"That is, if someone wants to sell this thing, and you spend money to buy it..." Li Chu said seriously, "What price can you expect to get?"

"Heh." Mu Lan smiled, "How is it possible, such a rare thing..."

Her words froze suddenly.

Because under Li Chu's signal, Duranke spread out the package on his back with a clatter, revealing a lot... Dazzling, dazzling, pure... Blood Demon Crystals.

The big ones are as big as a fist, and the small ones are generally as big as quail eggs, shining brightly in the dim light.

In contrast, the few diamonds in Mu Lan's hand suddenly became worthless diamonds.
