Although the system's evaluation of this mission is only D-level, considering Feng's competitive personality... it would be difficult to persuade her to go back using ordinary methods. "So, is this why Kikyo asked me to do her job?" Nanxing thought carefully and discovered Kikyo's intention: She and Feng are sisters - this kind of relationship is neither good nor bad. As an older sister, Kikyo can certainly use her status as an elder to suppress Feng and force her to stay here. But this approach is more likely to arouse Feng's rebellious psychology. Feng had an instinctive resistance to Kikyo's words. This is also a common problem among humans. The closer someone is to you, the less you care about what they say. In comparison, he, as an outsider, is more "convincing".
"So, you want me to play the role of the villain and make her realize the real gap between herself and the monsters." "It's really a thankless task." Nanxing thought helplessly. If he wants to complete this task, he will probably have to offend Feng to death. However, there is no way. "Don't miss the opportunity to hug someone's thigh." Looking at Kikyo with a dull expression. Nan Xing knew very well that if he wanted to become stronger in the shortest time possible, he could not do without the help of this woman. and so. "You keep an eye on it." Nanxing figured out the key point without any hesitation. He walked directly to the big tree next to him and performed the "walking up a tree" maneuver in front of Feng. ——Climbing trees and treading water are the basic skills of a ninja. Cover the soles of your feet with chakra, and no matter where you walk, it will be as if you are walking on flat ground. Now Nanxing can easily hang upside down on a tree branch with his feet like a bat without falling. "How about it." "If you can do that, I will take you to kill the monster." Nanxing, who was hanging upside down on the tree, asked Feng in a very calm manner. Because this is really not something to show off.
But Feng's face looked very ugly. "Climbing a tree" is very simple for Nanxing, but for her, it is something she cannot achieve even if she tries her best all her life. And this is also the cruel truth that Kikyo wants to convey to her sister through Nanxing: “I know you work hard.” “But some things cannot be achieved just by hard work.” …… Feng still left. Unwilling to accept the reality, she ran back to the village angrily. She was very strong, and even though her eyes were red and swollen, she did not let the tears fall. "No problem?" Looking at the girl's back as she left, Nanxing asked with some concern. He expressed doubts about Kikyo's almost "free-range" educational method. But Kikyo was quite calm. "She'll find out sooner or later." This cruel world will never change according to human will. And even though Kikyo possesses extraordinary spiritual powers, it is impossible for her to stay by Feng's side all her life. ——People like her have their own special mission. “Ordinary people have ordinary ways of living.” "She can't learn from me." Kikyo sees things very clearly. She is a genius that appears only once every few hundred years, so she can walk in this chaotic world where demons are rampant and slay monsters and monsters. No one else can learn her skills. But at the same time, Nanxing seemed to have sensed a hint of other meaning in Kikyo's words. "She is a human being, so she can't help you get rid of the demon." "But you are willing to take me with you to eliminate the monster." "So...I can learn from you?" Nanxing asked tentatively. But this time, Kikyo ignored him.
"Time is up." "We should go." She stood up, facing the rising sun in the east, and walked into the light. Chapter 5 Ghost Story: Kikyo Smiled Kikyo exorcises demons during the day. If you think about it, this actually goes against common sense. After all, the demons are at their most active from dusk to the early morning of the next day. If you want to exorcise monsters, the chances of encountering monsters are higher during this period. "So, why don't we go out and get rid of the demons at night?" Nanxing was confused and asked this question to Kikyo. Unexpectedly, I received a pair of sympathetic and caring eyes in return. ——Although it was not stated explicitly, Nanxing was sure that at this moment, Kikyo definitely wanted to express "Are you a fool?" Fortunately, Kikyo is kind after all. Not only would she not laugh at Nanxing's lack of knowledge, but she would also try her best to help him explain the precautions of eliminating monsters. "Because the night belongs to the world of monsters." "Monsters appearing in the dark - that in itself is a very normal thing." "It's abnormal for humans to appear at night." Kikyo said calmly. And it was from this moment that Nanxing understood. It turns out that as a shrine maiden, Kikyo doesn't have to fight off monsters when she sees them. "Night monsters are basically not eliminated." Because monsters appear at night, that's natural. As long as they don't harm anyone, there is no need for Platycodon to do anything unnecessary. "We won't eliminate monsters that have territories." For example, there is a monster called "Snake Bone Lady". It exists in snake mounds, guarding its husband and home, and will attack humans who offend its territory. Kikyo will not eliminate monsters like this. "Humans have their own rules, and monsters have their own rules."
"Humans who don't follow the rules will be killed by monsters." "As for those monsters that obey the rules, we only need to expel them. There is no need to kill them all." Kikyo said calmly. By the way, she bent her bow and shot to death a little demon that was attracted by her "demon-luring talisman" and was greedy for spiritual energy. "Ding, your teammate killed a low-level monster." "You gain 10 experience points." "You have completed your daily mission: Clearing the demons (D-rank)." "You get the mission reward: 50 taels." …… This is definitely the most relaxing period Nanxing has had since he traveled through time. He didn't even have to do anything, just follow Kikyo, and a steady stream of experience points would flow into his body. In just three days, he reached the next level and gained some valuable free attribute points. "At this rate, I should be able to reach Chunin (level 30) in less than half a year." Nanxing was secretly delighted in her heart, and was once again glad that her original decision was so correct. ——Before that, he had practiced in the deep mountains and forests for more than a year before he barely broke through the threshold of "apprentice" and became a real ninja. And now, following behind Kikyo, he didn't have to do anything, he could be promoted to Chunin, or even Jonin, just by lying down. "Is this what it feels like to not work hard but be carried away by the boss?" Nanxing thought with great emotion. But of course. Although Nanxing was carried away by Kikyo, he did not do nothing. He knew that having level alone was useless and combat experience was equally important. Therefore, occasionally, Nanxing would take the initiative to test his new ninjutsu on those monsters, or hone his fighting skills. "Substitute technique." The battles can be thrilling at times. Because those monsters are not easy to deal with either. They are born with physical fitness that is several times stronger than humans, as well as various strange abilities. Therefore, Nanxing needs to be extremely careful to avoid falling into their clutches. And worth mentioning.
When Nanxing was fighting, Kikyo would often find a big tree or a huge rock and lean against it quietly. She watched Nanxing fighting fiercely with the monsters, concentrating fully on it, as if she was watching a performance. As for the ending of the show, she didn't care. If Nanxing wins, she won't praise him. She will just walk ahead quietly, heading to the next demon-killing location. Nanxing lost, but she would not blame him. She just looked in the direction where the monster fled and told him to start over. …… Another night.
