The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

The battle between one man and one dog seemed to have reached a critical point. After several rounds of fighting, Ying, who had figured out the Shadow Maru routine, felt that he had found the key to victory.

Because the opponent is a dog, the wakizashi who is bitten by the mouth does not have many fancy movements except horizontal slashes and diagonal slashes. As long as he keeps a close eye on the movements of the dog's head, he can predict Eageromaru's attack route.However, in contrast to the opponent's airtight defense, the flexible and compact body allows this ninja dog to easily find the direction of its attack and parry.

But, the next battle is not just a competition!Yesterday, after the defeat, I made a special trip back to Liyue to switch the elemental power to the rock attribute. Let you also experience the feeling of having your center of gravity destroyed when you are about to take the sword!His left hand secretly accumulated the power of the rock element, and Ying felt his hand sink suddenly as he stabbed out the long sword with one hand with his right hand, showing a victorious smile.

"It's now, Wild Star!" The huge orange-yellow boulder hit directly behind Eageromaru. The impact of the rock and mud instantly stirred up the sand, causing Eageromaru to involuntarily move his center of gravity forward. The blond girl, who took two steps forward and saw the opportunity to thrust out her sword again, was overjoyed when she saw that Eageromaru was temporarily unable to parry because he was head-down.

I can finally avenge myself for being knocked unconscious twice!

Unfortunately, it backfired. There was a bang, and a large amount of gray smoke exploded from the body of the stabbed 'Kinglangmaru'. Ying, who had not reacted hastily for a moment, was suddenly shrouded in gray-black smoke, and coughed. came out from the smoke.

"What is this! Cough! Cough! Cough..." The choked blond girl immediately rushed out of the smoke. However, at some point, Eageromaru, who had put away his wakizashi in mid-air, was already right. Find out where Yingying breaks out of the smoke.

The dog stepped on the handle of the knife and accurately hit Ying on the back of the neck with the scabbard.Ying, who was lying on the ground and fell into coma again, and Eageromaru, who had a lonely expression as a master, once again won the honor of victory by Eageromaru, who was guarding the small animals.

Lost again... The dog that won again made Xia Yu feel a little outrageous, but if he carefully considered Eilōmaru's tactics, it seemed to be full of rationality.

Isn't this just a standard ninja assassination routine in which smoke bombs and stand-in dummies are mixed to lure the opponent to attack, and then seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow... Although it is not ruled out that Ying has fought against this type of opponent, but who Who would have thought that a dog would use it so skillfully?Ying was once again dragged back by Eageromaru by the collar, leaving only Paimon laughing because he couldn't help it.

"This ninja dog is too powerful..." Also frightened by Eageromaru were Kamisato Ayaka and Toma, who were watching the sparring together. Since they were very familiar with Taromaru, they were also frightened. In the last episode, it was a subordinate organization promoted by the club. Both of them knew very well that even Taromaru, who was selected as the first generation of ninja dogs in his prime, could not compare with the purple-black fur ninja dog in front of them. .Kamizato Ayaka, who took over from Eageromaru, felt like she couldn't laugh or cry.

'Wangwu? 'Xia Yu seemed to have discovered the aroma of the beef that was being fed to Taro Wan, and looked at the retired senior who was enjoying the meal. An envious look appeared in Taro Wan's eyes.

"Woof woof woof!" The wild ninja dog barking at Taromaru seemed a little excited. After watching Taromaru nodded, Eageromaru rushed to Xia Yu's side with a whoosh, and the wild ninja dog sitting on the spot began to go crazy. The ground stuck out its tongue and its tail waggled from side to side.

Do you want to share some of your beef with it?He tried to pass a small piece of beef to the mouth of the purple-black furred dog. With excitement in his eyes, Eageromaru bit into the piece of meat and chewed it.It seemed that he was quite satisfied with the taste of beef, and Yinglangmaru's furry tail wagged even more cheerfully.

"Wow!" He jumped left and right as if to express his gratitude, and quickly ran towards the small animal camp. Shadowmaru began to gather the small animals in the camp. It seemed that he was preparing to let Xia Yu and his party rescue these animals. brought back some small animals.

Because Ying was knocked unconscious again due to the defeat, looking at Kamisato Ayaka who was walking towards him with the small animals, he could only turn his eyes to Paimon aside, and then asked: "In this case, Ying and Paimon Is your mission completed?"

"Yes, yes! These are the last batch of lost animals! As long as we bring them back to the Adventurers Association, Ying and I's mission will be completed, hehe~" As if thinking of the generous bounty, Paimeng's face His expression looked extremely happy.However, the happiness that did not last for a few seconds returned to calm after Paimon once again noticed the leading figure, Eageroumaru.

"Um...will Shadowromaru continue to live a wandering life like this in the future?" He seemed to be a little worried about the future situation of this particularly powerful ninja dog, and asked Kamisato Ayaka and Toma for confirmation. There was a look of sympathy on the masked face. "Is it true that Eageromaru is no longer willing to travel with others just because he was rejected in the past?"

"Actually, even though this ninja dog named Shadow Maru says that it no longer wants to make a contract with humans, the nature of this kind of domesticated and trained dog is still close to humans. However, it needs some persuasion. My own reasons." Thomas looked a little embarrassed when he answered Paimon. "But as you saw just now, even Traveler can't beat Eageromaru in a general swordsmanship test, so..."

Therefore, there should be very few people who can defeat it without using elemental power... After listening to Toma's explanation, Xia Yu also understood what Toma meant.To put it simply, this ninja dog is arrogant.Somewhat similar to the reserve of a samurai, Eageromaru, who is looking for his master, wants to find someone who can defeat him.And someone who can surpass this stray ninja dog in pure sword skills...wait!

Since there are so few people, let’s think differently.Thinking of this, Xia Yu quickly said to Taromaru who was being held by him: "Taromaru, do me a favor and ask Eageromaru to go to Inazuma Castle with us. I have someone I can recommend to him."

"Wang!"

————————————————————————

In Inazuma Castle Castle, Xia Yu, who brought Eageromaru to the backyard, happened to witness General Raiden carrying out daily training with a naginata.Ever since Raiden Makoto conducted hellish internal affairs tutoring for his sister, Kage stumbled into his own practice under the guidance of Raiden Makoto.

As a result, General Raiden, who had been working on his behalf, finally had time to rest, meditate, and practice sword skills... As a former shadow warrior, the divine body seemed to be still keen on those things in the past that improved martial arts. In this regard, Raiden The general doesn't reject it either.

After all, he replaced the shadow and completed the shadow's duties.Now that Kage has returned with the help of Raiden's divine body and under the guidance of Raiden's soul and assumed the mission of guiding Inazuma's appointment, he should also further improve his martial arts.

I'm afraid I'm still a little behind when it comes to competing with the serious Kage... General Raiden, who felt someone approaching, turned around.

Why did Xia Yu come to the castle tower at this time... Oh, yes, Xia Yu still needs to continue to guide the inheritance of his sword.Thinking of the agreement between himself and his fellow shadowmate Xia Yu, General Thunder said: "Xia Yu, do you want to continue the practice today?"

kindness?Before Xia Yu could answer, the purple-black figure following Xia Yu caught Ying's attention.Is this a ninja dog?I haven't seen him for a long time... The appearance of Kageromaru seems to have made General Raiden recall some of the past events that Kage once told him.

Ninja dogs have a long history as Inazuma's traditionally trained comrades to fight together. At least according to Kage's description, she used to have many ninja dogs by her side. Although these little guys are good at fighting, It may not necessarily help her, but it plays a huge role in transmitting information and intelligence.

It's just that when I was sorting through the files in recent years, I also discovered a very regrettable news - Inazuma's once most famous ninja dog training family had been exterminated.In this case, the question arises. Basically, all the active ninja dogs are acting together with the final series. Where did the ninja dog in the prime of life next to Xia Yu come from?

"Yes, since you have decided to do something, you must do it well." After nodding and confirming that he would indeed continue to practice, Xia Yu continued: "There is just something I want to do before training. I would like to ask the General, has the General considered raising this ninja dog?"

"Woof?" Shadow Langmaru, who was following Xia Yu, seemed to understand what Xia Yu was trying to do by asking him to follow him. He raised his head and looked at General Thunder and Lightning, who had a serious look on his face. Shadow's keen perception as an animal made him Lang Wan could feel that the woman standing in front of him was ridiculously strong.

But isn’t this what I want? "Woof woof woof!" Eageromaru, who called out to General Raiden, looked extremely excited. After pulling out the wakizashi wrapped around his tail and holding it in his mouth, Eageromaru kept wagging his tail towards General Raiden and clasped his limbs tightly. He took a stance on the ground.

"Oh? Do you want to compete with me?" Some people did not expect that the ninja dogs brought by Xia Yu would be so full of fighting spirit. The general Raiden, who was interested, raised his naginata again. "If you want to compete with me, then take my sword and try it first."

Although he did not use the power of the elements, and he held back because he was a ninja dog, General Raiden's horizontally drawn naginata was still as quick and precise as a silver ray, slashing towards the location of Eageromaru. .

'Pong! Another sound of the clash of weapons was heard. General Thunderbolt, whose attack was blocked, was stunned for a moment, and then showed a rare expression of excitement.

"It's interesting, continue!"

Chapter 266: Jealous shadow, ready to violate ancestral precepts

Finally, the review of today's government affairs was completed... Kage, who completed today's work under the supervision of Raiden, let out a long sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, there would be so many government affairs that need to be dealt with after the near-big purge, including the plan submitted by the society to improve the reputation of the shogunate among the people, the self-examination of the Hiiragi family and the handling of personnel, as well as the investigation of embezzlement of the national treasury. Partial return, foreign trade signing, etc.

There are also various investigations into the past actions of subordinates by the Kujo family who are also temporarily living in Tianling, as well as similar memorials that the branch families want to take the opportunity to defeat the superiors... The various troubles mixed together are simply one or two. big.

If we put it in the past, these matters would most likely have been handled or concealed by the heads of the Kujo and Hiiragi families. Although they did commit irreparable mistakes, we have to admit that these people were indeed With that kind of ability, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get to where I am now.

"Aying has done a great job, and I must continue to work hard in the future~" In the God's Eye worn on his waist, Raiden Jin's tone of both joy and ridicule made Ying even more melancholy.

Originally, all these things were borne by my sister, but now this burden has been transferred to me. Although I am not complaining, I still feel deeply tired mentally.For a moment, Ying actually missed the wear and tear that he once regarded as his enemy.

With the shield of the sacred cherry tree and Xia Yu's help, the wear and tear imposed on him by Tianli has been eliminated.But now it seems that it would be great if wear and tear could erase these memories in a targeted manner...

Forget it, let's go to the backyard and practice some knife skills to calm down...

Um?This is?The crisp metallic sound of the swords colliding reached Ying's ears. With his rich combat experience, Ying quickly distinguished that the irregular and extremely fast frequency sounds were not training instructions, but belonged to sparring.

Apart from himself and Xia Yu, the only ones who can train in the castle tower are General Raiden. With Xia Yu's current level, it is definitely impossible for him to spar with General Raiden, so who could it be?Curiosity drove Ying to quicken his pace.

Traveler?The two people from the shrine's family?Coming to the backyard, Ying finally saw clearly the small purple-black figure sparring with General Thunder.

No... Ninja dog?Is there any ninja dog that can be so strong?

————————————————————————

"Woo~" Eageromaru let out a whining sound and stretched out his short limbs and lay on the ground. The dog who persisted for about 5 minutes finally ran out of energy.The short competition shocked Eageromaru, who was lying on the ground and gasping for air.

This person... is so strong!

The naginata's continuous offensive has never stopped. Even though it can be seen that the opponent has held back to save energy, the suppression from experience has left him with no chance to counterattack. Even blocking has already taken a lot of effort. .

What's even more uncomfortable is that every knife swung by this human woman requires her to turn her body and head greatly to make adjustments before she can catch it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have exhausted all her strength in such a short few minutes... Although the whole competition made the panting Eageromaru very frustrated, the dog who was still eager to become stronger was very excited in his heart.

The tall human male who brought him here and was good at cooking was right. If he stayed with her, he would definitely become stronger!While Eageromaru was still excited, the shadow who rushed to the backyard appeared in Eageromaru's field of vision.

What?Two of the same human women actually appeared? ?

General Thunder and Lightning, who had finished the competition, looked at where Xia Yu was and then nodded.

Although you can only practice the formation and drawing of the naginata when competing with this ninja dog, this is enough.Having an actual sparring opponent can make it easier for you to observe the opponent's state after each blow and make a summary.The effect of just a few minutes of practice can be several times greater than personal insights.

More importantly, although it looked very difficult, this magical ninja dog really blocked them all.

"Well, this ninja dog is very good. If it is willing, then follow me."

"Wang!"

etc!Why did General Thunder and Lightning suddenly have an extra dog?Feeling that the world had changed too much, Ying hurriedly came to Xia Yu and General Thunder. Ying said: "Xia Yu, where did you find the ninja dog?"

That's right, when I was dealing with internal affairs in the past few days, I saw the news that the sick Kimura ninja dog training family on Hachieng Island had disappeared. As a result, Xia Yu turned around and brought a ninja dog in its prime from nowhere. .More importantly, why did he bring the ninja dog to General Thunder first when he didn't even have a ninja dog... Ying tried his best to keep his face calm and waited quietly for Xia Yu's answer.

"Are you talking about Yinglangmaru? This is a wandering ninja dog that I happened to meet." Xia Yu smiled as he explained to Ying. "Actually, when I brought it back to Inazuma Castle, I also considered whether to give it to you or to General Raiden. Then I decided to give it to whoever I met first, and then it was up to Eagemaru to decide the rest. idea."

This... Xia Yu, who answered in advance, made Ying fall into silence.

elder sister!If you hadn't forced me to stay and deal with a few more memorials, this dog might be mine now!After listening to Xia Yu's explanation of the reasons, Ying, who was greatly frustrated, could only nod his head. He thought the matter was about to end, but General Thunder and Lightning on the side spoke first.

"Actually, I think it would be better for Eageromaru to be raised by me. Food is needed to train and communicate with ninja dogs. For the sake of the ninja dogs' safety, not being able to cook will have a huge impact on helping the ninja dogs process food. It’s a difficult problem. What’s more, Kage, you have already contracted with the Eightfold Divine Son.”

The fact that he couldn't cook was brought up again like a sharp knife piercing Kage's heart.

Just because you can’t cook doesn’t mean you can’t handle dog food!The taunt from General Thunder directly broke the string of reason in Kage's head. "I think there is nothing wrong with the processing of dog food. If it's just raw meat, I can still cut it. Also, Yae Shenzi, are you planning to treat this ninja dog with that kind of standard?"

When it comes to Yae Shenzi, the angry Kage feels that he has a say.As a transformed contract beast and his best friend, although Yae Shenzi is very reliable in major matters, when it comes to smaller problems, this little fox who doesn’t know who he learned from will definitely try to catch fish. Take a break and find someone to help you figure it out.He completely failed to inherit the character of himself and his sister who worked conscientiously for Ina Wife.

This little pink Tibetan fox gives me a feeling that can rival Mondstadt’s wind god Barbatos!When did it become crooked...

"Contract beast..." General Thunder and Lightning, who carefully considered the question raised by Ying, did not rush to argue. Instead, he lowered his head and began to think seriously.

For now, the first impression of this ninja dog in its prime is indeed very good. Judging from the brilliance in its eyes, this smart little guy has a very clear mind and has already begun to possess the skills. To open up the possibility of spiritual intelligence.In the memory left to him by Ying, Yae Shenzi, who had just been picked up and taken in by Foxai Palace at that time, felt the same way.

"If this ninja dog is what I want, I don't think there is any problem. After all, with its intelligence, it has the possibility of unlocking spiritual intelligence." General Raiden who answered seriously shocked Ying.

Are you really taking it seriously?Unable to continue arguing, Kage quickly turned his attention to Kageromaru, who was lying on the grass and panting. The purple-black fur dog's unyielding eyes and determined expression were indeed admirable... No. !If you think about it this way, wouldn’t your losses be even greater?

Xia Yu!Why didn't you come to me with this dog in the first place!

————————————————————————

"It's that day again soon, what should we do this year...?" In Xinhai's secret camp on Haiji Island, Xinhai was lying on the bench with a tangled expression.

The Kaiji Gore Festival, which is very important to Kaiji Island, is about to begin. The Kaiji Gore Festival refers to an important ceremony that uses the blood branch coral retrieved from Fuchishagu Shrine to prevent the land of Kaiji Island from becoming a holy land. , for the already very barren land of Kaiji Island, the Kaiji Spirit Festival is the most important ceremony that he presides over every year.

This is what it should have been like... As for why it is said to be original, it is because the situation has undergone some subtle changes in recent years...

That's right, because of Xia Yu's arrival, Kaijijima reached a truce with the Inazuma Shogunate, and then also obtained a large amount of grass slimes, such as this small piece of green grass in his secret base, which contained Found a grass slime that likes a shady environment.

The grass slime, which is like an energy converter, directly eradicates the problems that have plagued Haiji Island for hundreds of years... Although the current Haiji Island cannot be said to be fertile, it has reached the level of eight fertile areas next door. Judging from today's inspection, Haiji Island will have an unprecedented bumper harvest of various grains and vegetables in about half a year.

The most important thing is that these grass slimes have the ability to divide and reproduce when they grow up. In the future, the land of Haiji Island will only get better and better.In this case... is it necessary for the Kaiju Spirit Festival to go down to a giant scale?What if the ritual performed through Blood Branch Coral has the opposite effect?

What a daunting problem...

He grabbed a strawberry that was brought to him from the long table used for handling affairs and put it into his mouth. The sweet taste seemed to slightly clear up the blocked thoughts.

The ceremony still has to continue, but there is no need to actually use blood branch corals like before, just go through the process. After all, this is also a traditional sacrificial activity belonging to Haiji Island.In the future, the Kaiji Gosei Festival will be more commemorative.

Well, it makes me feel a lot more relaxed when I think about it~ Energy value +2

Then there is another question that I have been thinking about. Does the situation in Yuanxia Palace need to be resolved once?

According to the historical documents left in the Coral Palace, Fuchita Palace was one of the residences of the ancestors of Kaiji Island. Before Oropas, the great god of Kaiji Island, led the ancestors of Kaiji Island to arrive at Fuchita Palace, it was already there. There is quite a large area of ​​ancient ruins.

The acquisition of Blood Branch Coral has always followed the oldest ritual, allowing only the most powerful people to go to Yuanxia Palace to obtain it through trials. Since this matter was related to the survival of Haiji Island in the past, everyone has always been Strictly abide by the system to do things.

But one thing I have to say is that the Yuanxia Palace located on the seabed is actually quite dangerous, such as the deep sea dragon lizard.According to records, as a creature that has always lived within the darkness of the Yuanxia Palace area, the deep sea dragon lizard has a very high level of intelligence, even as much as humans.The White Night Kingdom in the Yuanxia Palace area has been fighting against this cunning and powerful creature.

With the Blood Branch Coral already being just a formality in the ceremony and the threat of the Deep Sea Dragon Lizard, would it be a bit reckless to continue sending only one person to Yuanxia Palace?What's more, there must be something worth exploring in this ancient country that has existed in Yuanxia Palace for countless years.It seems that Haijijima, who is no longer under pressure, can make a slight change in the ancestral precepts he left behind?

Well... why not ask Shangying to explore together.By the way, if possible, it would be best to find Xia Yu. Xia Yu's ability to communicate with monsters should also come in handy when encountering dragon lizards.The thousand-year feud between Kaijijima and the Inazuma Shogunate has the possibility of settling their feud. If they can communicate normally, maybe the situation on the Deep Sea Dragon Lizard side can also improve?

I have decided to go to Ying's Chensong Pot now and ask if these two people have time.Standing up, Xinhai took out the Dongtian Guan Disk that Ying handed to him, hung it on the cave at the hidden base, and then walked into the portal that appeared.

After a few short seconds, the clear blue sky and fertile grassland appeared in Xinhai's field of vision. The fertile land in the cave in the pot and the grass slime hidden in the soil that he had gradually been able to identify made Xinhai Hai even confirmed his idea.

As long as it can continue to be maintained, Haiji Island will one day become as fertile as Yinghu Cave Sky.He continued walking a few steps forward and arrived at the housing area. A blond girl who was looking at a purple-black fur dog in a daze appeared in Xinhai's field of vision.

Eh?Xia Yu, Ying, and General Thunder are all here. Are they discussing something important?

Chapter 267 Yuanxia Palace? Vague records and invitations from the heart

"Is it a badminton festival? I know it~ After all, it is a national festival. I will definitely participate, and I will take Xia Yu there with you~" Ying Zhi patted Xia Yu happily as he promised that he would be there. own chest.Later, Ying's eyes were attracted by the thunder and lightning general who followed Xia Yu into the Chensong Pot and the purple-black nightmare.

Well...this super powerful ninja dog ended up following General Raiden.While she was somewhat envious of General Raiden's ability to take in such a powerful dog, Ying was also curious about the process by which General Raiden subdued Eageromaru.

According to Shadow Maru's character, if you want to conquer it, you must fight it.Needless to say, the result of the battle was that General Raiden would definitely win. What I was curious about was how many moves did Eageromaru survive under General Raiden, who relied solely on his move structure and experience to fight?

"Xia Yu, how long did the competition between Eagelangmaru and Thunderbolt General last? How was Eagelangmaru's performance?" Yingying felt extremely complicated when he asked Xia Yu aside.

Should he hope that Eageromaru can last longer or be killed instantly...

If Eageromaru persisted long enough in the confrontation with Raiden General, then this result fully demonstrated how outrageous this dog was, and it was understandable that he accidentally lost to it.But this worsened the situation where his basic swordsmanship was inferior to that of a dog.This gave Paimon a reason to tease her.

But if Eageromaru was killed by General Raiden's sword like himself, the gap between himself and Eageromaru seemed to be much narrower. Anyway, no matter who got killed, he would be killed by General Raiden's sword.The problem is, this seems to be facing the same dilemma as before: just like Gouzi, he was knocked down by General Thunder...

"Yinglangwan? It was pretty good. It lasted for about four or five minutes until it collapsed from exhaustion." Xia Yu's answer made Ying's mind go blank.

No...why do I always have to compare myself with a dog!It's better to forget this kind of dark history... After shaking his head violently to throw all the strange thoughts out of his mind, Ying's mood suddenly improved a lot when he saw the sea of ​​​​in his mind walking towards him.

Hey, it's the sea of ​​​​mind. I have secretly observed the situation on Haiji Island recently. The green and lush Haiji Island has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the barrenness when I first landed on the island. I don't know. What happened to Xinhai this time?

"Hello noon, Xinhai, are you here to play at Chengehu today?" Yingman waved towards Xinhai with a happy expression, as if he was finally able to find something that had nothing to do with Ninja Dogs. Happy.

"Well... Actually, there is something I want to ask you and Xia Yu. It involves a major event related to Haizhi Island. In addition, I think there should be a lot of gains from this trip." Xinhai explained. Wei Wei felt a little embarrassed, but after seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, Xinhai continued to explain.

"Ying, you and Xia Yu still remember the issue I mentioned to you about the consecration of the land on Haiji Island. In fact, before this, we have been using another method to fight against the consecration of the land, that is, through the sea From the teleport point in the middle of the island, go to the underground Abyss Palace area to search for an item called Blood Branch Coral."

"There are very few records related to Abyssal Palace even if they have been handed down from generation to generation on Haiji Island. The part we can confirm is that it is the ruins of a huge underground ancient country, and there is a place called Deep Sea in it. A rather dangerous species of dragon lizard..."

Is it another ancient country?After hearing the ruins called Yuanxia Palace mentioned by Xinhai, Ying began to make calculations in her heart.

Indeed, the miko Luko of Kaiji Island once asked me to help her go to the ruins under Kaiji Island to participate in the so-called "Brave Trial", and then bring back a prop called Blood Branch Coral, but that For some time, I have been leading the members of the Swordfish Second Division to clean up the security issues around Kaiji Island, so I have postponed this commission a little bit.

Then, because he was plotted by the executioners of the Fools, he was forced to go to the Narukami Grand Shrine where Yae Kamiko was to recuperate. When he asked about Luko again, the grass slime had been sent to Kaiji Island. , the matter of the 'Trial of the Brave' passed naturally.

As a result, according to the information given by Xinhai, this blood branch coral turned out to be the life-saving thing of Haiji Island!Although the Blood Branch Coral has lost its own significance, this is a huge underground ancient ruin!
