List of strange talismans

Chapter 56 The Bottle of Tianshui
The blaze of gunpowder lit up with the blue smoke, and the deafening gunshots resounded through the night sky.

The scorched arm burst instantly, and the violent impact even knocked the figure backwards and fell off the city wall.

Gu Xiuya raised his gun sideways, and clasped his fingers.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The aim of shooting without practice was terrible. After three shots, the shot aimed at the head missed, and the shot aimed at the chest hit the arm.

The last shot was aimed at the retort, and the bullet went straight through the moment it hit, blasting a bloody hole the size of a fist on the figure.

Gu Xiuya frowned slightly.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped up.

Boom!
The strength of the ignorant boa constrictor greatly increased the strength of his body. Gu Xiuya jumped from the five or six meter high city wall, except for the numbness of the soles of his feet, his movements were hardly affected in any way.

He looked in the direction where the figure fell, and saw that the figure had already got up.

Within the agreed hundred meters, the saints also died?
Gu Xiuya greeted Cliff in his heart, and took a step back vigilantly, intending to avoid the intersection.

But the opponent's speed was faster, and when his feet just moved, his arms were already aimed at his body.

Gu Xiuya simply did not move.

One second, two seconds.

Five seconds passed, and the ability to trap people in invisible water did not take effect.

Gu Xiuya quickly stepped forward.

As the distance approached, the figure covered in the night suddenly became clear.

Gu Xiuya saw a patch of black and red blood, and the blood dripped into the puddle, like a faucet that was not turned off tightly.

The high-explosive ammunition cracked the flesh, and also shattered the already scorched wrist.

Only half of the bloody elbow remained on the raised arm.

It appears to be a success.

Gu Xiuya understood.

Since the figure appeared, he has been paying attention to all the actions of the other party.

After discovering that the opponent had to raise his hand every time he used his ability, he used what he heard from Cliff as a bait, and deliberately stuck in to launch a sneak attack, in order to break his arm.

Cliff said that to accommodate the residing fetish, it needs to be at the cost of some limb mutations.

Gu Xiuya understood this sentence in this way: mutation is a price and a prerequisite.

If the residing fetish is compared to a certain weapon, the mutated limbs are the storage room for the weapon.

Destroy the storage room, and the weapons will naturally be lost.

Of course, due to the ideological characteristics of the residing fetish, this loss of materiality is likely to be only temporary.

But this is enough for Gu Xiuya.

Meow.

Running water poked its head out of the backpack, with a long and narrow metal object in its mouth.

Gu Xiuya pressed the safety, unskilled but quickly unloaded the magazine as fast as possible, stretched his hand back to take the new one.

The modern industrial atmosphere of the maintenance oil made Gu Xiuya feel calm. He quickly moved closer to the figure who fell to the ground again due to excessive blood loss.

"Despicable lackey!"

The figure looked like he was about to die, his body was covered with overflowing black blood, and he was so weak that he was out of breath.

But even so, he still scolded Gu Xiuya with all his strength, as if he was the party of justice.

Gu Xiuya's expression was calm.

He wasn't trying to argue with someone whose sanity was sloppy, and he didn't need to.

Everything tonight comes down to the essence, but you want to kill me, and I want to kill you.

As for ends and means, it doesn't matter at all.

He raised his gun and aimed at the figure's head seriously.

"Wait a moment!"

The figure raised his hand weakly: "According to the provisions of the [Century Covenant], I can exchange my life with a resident fetish."

He pointed to the clay retort beside him.

The original quaint bottle body looks hazy, as if a little distorted like a projection.

"The bottle of heaven and water, the legendary artifact used by the rain god Tlaloc to control the rainy season and flood."

"Although the myths about him are seldom heard today, this resident fetish is only low-level. But in the myth, Tlaloc is the highest god believed by the local people, and his personality is extremely high. Therefore, the resident fetish The potential is huge enough to pay for my life."

bottle of water
Gu Xiuya thought of Cliff's explanation of residing fetishes.

This ideology item condensed by the power of the gods has various magical abilities.

But the myths and legends in this world are too complicated, there are many gods with similar clergy, and there are countless resident gods with similar abilities.

Just like the Immortal Rope and the Golden Rope, if both act on the same person at the same time, which item will take effect and which item will fail?
This involves the personality of the gods, or the essence of the gods.

The gods born from the sea of ​​collective consciousness, their abilities, characters, strengths and weaknesses will all be affected by legends.

Among them, the description of the legends determines the initial personality of the gods.

To put it simply, whoever has the better background setting will be more powerful when it turns from fake to real.

Second, the more people believe in these legends, the more powerful the gods become.

So in theory, as long as enough people believe in it, the sea of ​​group consciousness can even give birth to a real god of creation.

But a story that is too absurd is always easy to make people doubt its authenticity, and a story that is too ordinary is not enough to make people awe.

The two are kept in a relatively reasonable balance, which is enough to win the trust of more people and gain more faith.

This is why the major sects did not make up a large number of creator gods.

Residing fetishes are also affected by similar rules.

——The legend will determine the upper limit of the theoretical strength of the fetish, and the spread of the legend will determine the actual strength of the fetish.

In order to facilitate management and distinction, the Investigation Bureau divides them into four levels: low, medium, high, and special.

Gu Xiuya felt that such a division was too illiterate, so he called it according to his own understanding:
【Secrets】

【Comprehensive】

【Legend】

【universally】

According to the description of the figure, the bottle of Tianshui was likely to have been a [Comprehensive] level residing fetish.It's just because the relevant myths have been forgotten by too many people, causing it to fall to the [secret] level.

From the point of view of value, such a resident fetish is indeed extremely precious.

So after Gu Xiuya thought about it for a while,
Pulled the trigger.

boom!
The moment the gun rang, the figure suddenly rose up!

The bullet hit his forehead, but it seemed to hit the water surface, and while it exploded a ripple, it failed to hurt his head in the slightest.

Whoosh!
The figure waved the remaining half of its arm, black blood surged between the bloody bones, and it turned into a liquid arm in the blink of an eye, grabbing Gu Xiuya's head!
Gu Xiuya was not surprised by this, he ducked down and shot the figure in the knee!
boom!
Another ripple swayed, and the bullet was swallowed by the invisible water surface without a trace.

"Ignorant ants, do you think I can't kill you without my arms?"

Gu Xiuya heard a hoarse sneer, and immediately felt a strong suffocation!
The moisture in the air suddenly stirred at this moment, breaking through the barrier of the skin invisibly, filling his chest cavity in the blink of an eye!
