Chapter 20 One Thought Falls Forever
Chapter 20 One Thought Falls Forever
Li Yuan, unaware that the fish demon was already dead, thought it was struggling, so he exerted force on his hand, and black lightning flashed, instantly turning the big fish into a pile of fragments.
The blood spread and stained the river red.
Li Yuan quickly took off his shirt and wrapped the pieces of the large fish in it. This must be a demon; the fish meat might be very nutritious! We can't waste it.
Moreover, if the demonic weapon that was dropped also floats away with the river, it would be a huge loss.
Li Yuan tucked the peach wood sword into his waistband and swam towards the riverbank, dragging the pieces of flesh along with him.
After Li Yuan went ashore, he didn't go to grab the stone treasure chest, but instead walked nervously toward the carriage.
Is it really over? What if everything just now was an illusion?
Li Yuan was unsure; he wouldn't feel at ease until the enemy was completely out of the country!
Li Yuan walked to a place he couldn't get past, and his heart started racing!
Li Yuan lifted his leg and stepped over, without anything unusual happening!
He took two steps! Ahead was still his own inflated black sedan.
He really came out!
Li Yuan waved his arm upwards in delight and cheered!
"Hahaha! His precious baby is finally out!"
Li Yuan's eyes welled up with tears; he was truly terrified.
These strange things are getting weirder and weirder. Besides the abilities that can be detected, like the Frozen Death Ghost and the Hanging Death Ghost, there are also abilities that cannot be detected, like the Fish Demon!
He didn't even know when he was hit!
Could it be that I was hit when my reflection appeared on the water?!
Who can defend against that!
Li Yuan almost died three times in one day! No wonder he was afraid.
You'll find out the fish demon's specific abilities by checking its encyclopedia after pressing Enter.
Li Yuan dared not linger. The sun was about to set, so he went back to pack his things and ran to his carriage.
While packing, a thought suddenly occurred to him: what if he came back and got infected again?!
Li Yuan really wanted to slap himself; this thought startled him! Wasn't that exciting enough?!
What's wrong with you!
Fortunately, no, the fish demon was dead and couldn't be affected again.
You're just scaring yourself!
Li Yuan returned to the car and lay down in the spacious back seat. He wasn't physically tired, but he was mentally exhausted!
Li Yuan lay down to rest for a while, then took a bucket from the trunk and went back to the river to fill it with water.
This water is very clean and can be used for daily life.
Li Yuan took off his wet clothes and threw them into a basin. He then dried himself with a towel and pulled a blanket from the trunk to cover himself.
Finally, Li Yuan sat in the driver's seat and opened the encyclopedia.
Demons and monsters: spirits and monsters, which are created from animals through cultivation. Demons are born and raised in nature, and nature nurtures spiritual energy. Demons often cultivate unique demonic arts in nature.
The biggest difference between sorcery and magic is that a weak human cannot awaken powerful magic, but a demon can.
Even the weakest demon can awaken an SSS-rank!
However, the possibility is very low.
What's even more unfortunate is that animals have limited intelligence, making cultivation very slow.
As one's cultivation level increases, one's intelligence will gradually be awakened.
Demons can absorb essence, spiritual energy, and the essence of the sun and moon for cultivation. All of these energies absorbed by demons are converted into demonic power, and the amount of demonic power determines the strength of a demon.
The demons and monsters contain a core, called the demon core, which is the same as the spiritual source and is the root of the demons and monsters.
Demon cores can be absorbed for cultivation. Unlike the Yin energy of the Netherworld and the corpse energy of the Corpse Demon, demon power is originally transformed from other energies, so it can naturally be transformed back.
Successfully absorbing a demon core grants access to the demonic arts remaining within it!
But this is not necessarily a good thing. The awakening of sorcery and magic is similar in that it is also related to personality and desires.
Think carefully before absorbing anything; is it suitable for you?
You can't just eat hot pot with ice cream or dumplings with ketchup!
xxx09, the Weird Doctor, once complained about xxx27, the Demon Hunter: "The dragon-slaying hero eventually becomes a dragon himself, having consumed countless demon cores and turned himself into a monster. Serves him right!"
Demon cores can also be refined into magical artifacts, which are stronger than ordinary magical artifacts.
The demon's body also contains energy, making it a highly nourishing substance.
The demon race has complex internal relationships and a strict hierarchy.
Demons and monsters: spirits and monsters, strange monsters, demons and monsters, great demons and monsters, hundred-year demons and monsters, thousand-year demon kings and monster emperors, gods and demons.
It really is a demon!
Thankfully I brought it back. I'll cook some fish-demon soup noodles tonight to soothe my frightened little heart.
Li Yuan opened the clothes that were wrapped around the minced fish and looked inside. Sure enough, there was a bead the size of a longan.
The bead is pure white and imbued with spiritual energy, with a slit in the middle that resembles a squinting eye.
Li Yuan recalled the demon core he was playing with as a child, specifically the kind of marbles with a curved willow leaf inside.
It looks pretty good!
But what are its abilities?
Mysterious Artifact: Fish Demon Inner Core: The inner core of a demon that has become a spirit, containing demonic power and retaining the demonic arts of the fish demon.
Fish Demon's Spell: Eternal Fall in a Moment: If you see something you want in a scene, and you have even a fleeting thought of wanting it, you will fall into the scene and never be able to leave!
You're the one who's trapping yourself!
The solution is simple: do the opposite. Throw back what you want and let go of your desires, and you can get out.
Gan!
Who can defend against that?
He fell into Li Yuan's trap when Li Yuan wanted the stone treasure chest.
This time, he stumbled upon the fish demon who was using magic by accident; otherwise, he probably would never have been able to get out.
At the time, Li Yuan genuinely had no intention of throwing away the treasure chest. It wasn't because he was greedy; it was because he hadn't even considered this possibility. How could he know that it was his own thoughts that had led him astray? He always believed that the key to breaking the deadlock lay with the mysterious entity, not with himself.
How can you figure it out if you haven't experienced it yourself?!
Another lesson learned.
The fish has used itself as bait to catch countless anglers.
Li Yuan wasn't trapped in the river's reflection; rather, he was in the scene he was seeing. It just so happened that the edge of the river's reflection was exactly where he was standing on the bank.
This ability is not bad, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with my Lightning Slayer Technique, so I won't absorb it and will keep it to make a magic weapon.
After reading what the xxx09 Mysterious Doctor said to the xxx027 Demon Hunter, he dared not absorb it casually. There might not be any obvious negative effects after absorbing it, but there would still be some, and things might change over time.
It doesn't matter if it's made into a ritual implement.
As for how to do it, someone will awaken the techniques of weapon crafting.
It's also possible that the vehicle's magic array will gain the ability to refine weapons once it's upgraded again.
Unfortunately, the fish demon didn't drop anything.
Li Yuan did not search for any other treacherous artifacts.
Glutinous rice: Among the five grains, glutinous rice is regarded as the "essence of grains". Especially after being dried, it is full of yang energy and is a highly yang substance that can suppress yin and cold evil.
Glutinous rice has a sticky property that can absorb evil spirits and "stick" to unclean things, thus protecting the user.
Therefore, it can ward off evil spirits and has a remarkable effect on corpse poison.
Peach wood sword: A sword made from natural peach wood and hand-carved, capable of slaying evil spirits.
Peach wood is believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits, bring good fortune, and attract wealth. The peach is considered the essence of the five types of wood, and is also known as the "immortal wood," hence its power to protect the home and ward off evil. Therefore, peach wood swords are believed to possess the ability to exorcise evil.
