Chapter 106 The Mysterious Man on the Hokage Rock
"Why is the Hokage Rock here?"
Ni Kun was surprised:
"Could it be that... just like the Leshan Giant Buddha and Lingyun Cave appeared in the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, the Hokage Rock also 'traveled' to this doomsday world?
"There are only portraits of the first to third generations, so the Hokage Rock 'traveled' here when the third generation was in office?
"Is it just the Hokage who traveled through time, or did he travel through time with the Konoha ninjas as well?
"If only the Hokage came through, how would Konoha Village react?
"Will Danzo take this opportunity to file an impeachment complaint, citing the 'theft' of the Hokage Rock as an excuse to demand that the Third Hokage step down and apologize?
"If even the Konoha ninjas came through...
"Uh, there aren't any zombies wearing ninja uniforms under the Hokage Rock, are there?"
When Ni Kun was guessing randomly, his eyes suddenly focused and he vaguely saw a blurry figure on the top of the Hokage Rock which was hundreds of meters high.
The figure flashed in Ni Kun's field of vision for only a moment before disappearing, making it difficult for Ni Kun to judge whether it was a living person or a zombie.
After a moment of hesitation, Ni Kun urged the Nightmare Horse to gallop towards the Hokage Rock.
When he arrived at the foot of Hokage Rock, he looked around carefully and found that there were no houses or buildings above or below the rock. There was only a Z-shaped stone staircase leading to the top of the rock below the head of the First Hokage.
" There seems to be this stone staircase in the comics?"
Ni Kun rode his horse back and forth at the foot of the cliff, and confirmed that there were no traces of people or zombies at the foot of the cliff, nor were there any places such as caves where people could hide. He then rode up the stone steps and headed towards the top of the cliff.
We climbed smoothly to the top of the cliff, where we saw rugged rocks, crisscrossing gullies, and wild grass everywhere, but not a single person in sight.
Ni Kun rode his horse to a top of a huge rock, looked around from the vantage point, but still saw no trace of human beings, nor were there any footprints, garbage or other signs of human activities on the ground.
"Did I see it wrong?"
At this time, the sun had already set and the sky had long since dimmed. If it were an ordinary person, there was indeed a possibility that they might have seen it wrong.
But Ni Kun has the "dark vision" that comes with the fire spirit bloodline. Even in the pitch-black night where you can't see your hand in front of you, his vision can be as bright as dusk or sunset, so it is impossible for him to be wrong.
"Maybe there really is someone. But anyone who can survive in this doomsday environment full of monsters must be extraordinary. If they intentionally hide, they may not leave any trace at all."
Ni Kun shook his head. Since the other party didn't want to see him, he was too lazy to argue. He rode his horse to the edge of the cliff, looking down at the abandoned city.
This abandoned city is extremely large, and all you can see are forests of tall buildings that stretch as far as the eye can see.
"Before the apocalypse, this city was probably a megacity covering hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers... The urban population of such a city would be at least several million...
"Hiss, I think it's worth a 'Fusion Funeral'!"
If there are millions of zombies in the city, then you can attract them with your own body, gather them into a sea in an open area, and then blast them with a fusion blast...
"Stop, stop! You can't think like that . All precious treasures, bloodlines, and techniques require origin crystals. The higher the level of the treasure, technique, and bloodline, the higher the level of the origin crystal required.
"For example, the exchange price for the Yuanpin Dzi Bead is 6,000 reincarnation points and two red origin crystals. I only have five low-level origin crystals, one white and four gray. I can't even get one red origin crystal. How can I use my head to get two red crystals?
"Killing zombies and other small monsters can only earn reincarnation points, and there will be no origin crystal rewards. If there is no origin crystal, even if you earn hundreds of thousands of reincarnation points, you can't exchange them for a 'Yuanpin Dzi Bead'..."
Origin crystals can be exchanged for reincarnation points. If you are short of reincarnation points, you can exchange them for origin crystals.
But the reincarnation points cannot be exchanged for origin crystals.
Using low-level origin crystals to synthesize higher-level origin crystals also requires reincarnation points as the synthesis cost.
This shows how precious the Origin Crystal is.
Ni Kun has too few origin crystals, which is far from enough for him to directly receive the initiation and practice Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound and Breaking Evil Returning Pupil. Even if he earns more reincarnation points, it will be of no use.
After suppressing Krypton's impulse to launch a fusion funeral, Ni Kun watched from the top of the cliff for a while, found a road where zombies were relatively less dense, rode down the Hokage Rock, came to the edge of the abandoned city, put away the Nightmare Horse that made too much noise when galloping, walked into the abandoned city on foot, and hunted zombies piecemeal.
When Ni Kun left Hokage Rock.
A figure appeared silently among the weeds.
Bathed in the sparse light of the stars, the figure landed without a trace above the head of the First Hokage, and stood beside a large rock, with only half of his body exposed. He used a military telescope to observe from afar the edge of the abandoned city, where Ni Kun's figure appeared and disappeared between the abandoned buildings.
"The city is very dangerous. There are countless zombies that eat people. Especially at night, there are even more dangerous monsters. I usually only dare to go to the edge of the city to look for some supplies during the day... What does that guy want to do by entering the city at night?"
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw Ni Kun transform the willow branch into a wooden whip and continue to kill zombies. The figure holding the telescope trembled slightly and whispered in shock:
"Wood Release?"
The telescope locked onto Ni Kun's figure for a long time, until he disappeared into a dilapidated building. After a long time, the figure put down the telescope and muttered to himself:
"There are ninjas in this world who can use Wood Release?
“That black horse with its four hooves stepping on fire, is it his spiritual beast?
"But that evil aura...
"It's almost exactly the same as a man-eating monster I once encountered in this doomsday world..."
After hesitating for a while, the figure suddenly flashed and disappeared again.
With Ni Kun's current cultivation, if someone stared at him with murderous eyes, even if he was looked at from a distance of thousands of meters through a telescope, he would be able to sense it vaguely -
Unless he is observed indirectly by a camera, or is a robot like the Terminator that has no love, hate, or likes and dislikes and only kills people according to the program.
But the mysterious man on the Hokage Rock, although he was suspicious of Ni Kun because of the evil aura of the Nightmare Horse, when he observed him with a telescope, he did not have any murderous intent or hostility.
Therefore, Ni Kun knew nothing about the mysterious man's secret observation.
After hunting zombies outside for a while, he went into an abandoned building and hunted the zombies there.
The interior of the building is dark and the environment is complex. Zombies may be hiding in any corner. For ordinary people, it is a Jedi and a dead end where murder is rife.
However, Ni Kun has a dark vision, so he is not afraid of dim environments. His perception is extremely sharp, so he is not afraid of zombies lurking and attacking.
Moreover, in this environment where the space is divided into small spaces by large and small rooms and passages, the zombies cannot gather into a sea of zombies, which is more conducive to his performance.
From sunset until midnight, Ni Kun cleared the building from the bottom to the top, killed hundreds of zombies, and earned nearly three hundred reincarnation points.
After resting for a while on the rooftop of the building and taking out water from the mustard seed ring to replenish his energy, Ni Kun jumped directly to the rooftop of an adjacent building and started cleaning from the top floor.
As he cleaned up the building.
Opposite, on the top floor of a building that was more than ten stories taller than this one, two figures stood behind a broken glass curtain wall, secretly observing Ni Kun.
"It's a living person!" A female voice said in surprise: "That man is a living person!"
"I saw it." Another male voice said calmly, "And he's not an ordinary person..."
"There's help, there's help at last..."
The woman's voice sounded as if she was crying with joy:
“Since I came to this inexplicable and strange world, I haven’t seen a living person for a whole month.
"Such a big city is actually filled with zombies and all kinds of monsters. I...
“I’m almost starving!”
"Don't be so exaggerated. As an immortal species, you won't starve to death even if you don't eat humans for a while." The man said calmly.
“But I’ll be very hungry!”
The female voice became sharp and distorted, accompanied by the sound of swallowing saliva, and she laughed strangely:
"Great, that man is tall and strong, and looks like he has enough flesh and blood for us to have a good meal..."
"That guy is not a good person. You saw it too. He can use such a long whip freely in a small space and kill the living dead as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. That guy is not easy to deal with." The man's voice was a little cautious.
“Hehehehe… so what? We are immortal. Can he still harm our immortal bodies like the demon hunters of the Demon Slayer Corps? Stop talking nonsense. I’m so hungry. I want to eat someone!”
As he was speaking, Ni Kun, who was killing zombies in a spacious office in the opposite building, suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at the two figures through the glass curtain wall which also had many holes in it.
"He's found us! Hurry, hurry! Don't let him get away!"
Amid the screams, the figure that made the female voice suddenly bent her knees and jumped.
call!
Amid the howling wind, the man took advantage of the height difference between the two buildings and leaped dozens of meters. With a bang, he broke through the glass curtain wall of Ni Kun's office, rolled on the spot, and appeared in front of Ni Kun.
As glass fragments flew everywhere, another figure, with a relatively elegant posture, floated into the office from the large hole in the curtain wall that the female figure had broken through.
Ni Kun had indeed noticed the malicious gazes of these two people.
However, he was skilled and brave, and did not run away. He continued to kill the zombies in the office at his own pace.
Even though the two figures leaped over from the opposite building one after another, Ni Kun did not look at the two of them leisurely until he killed the last zombie.
One of the two people was a girl wearing an orange kimono and had shoulder-length hair with the ends of her hair dyed burgundy.
She looked pretty and innocent, but her eyes were cold, and she looked at Ni Kun like a predator looking at its prey.
The other one was a short-haired young man in a kimono with a huge rosary around his neck, dressed like a Japanese monk.
He faced Ni Kun with his eyes closed, yet he gave people a strange feeling that he could see everything clearly even with his eyes closed.
"I didn't expect that there are still living people in this dead city. Who are you?" Ni Kun asked curiously.
"Human? No, no, no, don't get me wrong. How can we be such low-level creatures as humans?"
The girl grinned, revealing two canine teeth that were obviously sharper and longer than those of an ordinary person:
"We are an immortal species that never grows old or dies. Humans are only fit to be our food and to feed us with their flesh and blood."
The girl actually spoke Japanese.
Although Ni Kun had watched many educational films in his previous life, those educational films had too few lines and he did not learn much.
No matter how much cartoons and anime he watched, he was too lazy to learn subtitles, so his Japanese was extremely limited.
However, the constant "knowledge of language" of the reincarnation watch is one of the most basic benefits of the reincarnation.
Therefore, when the reincarnated beings travel through the various realms, they can communicate without hindrance with any intelligent creature that can communicate using language, whether they are foreigners, aliens, or people from other realms.
"A man-eating monster?" Ni Kun sneered, "I thought you were something great, but you're just a cannibal. Man-eating monsters are everywhere in this city. You are nothing special, and there is nothing to be proud of."
“Don’t confuse us with those brainless monsters.” The girl’s voice was distorted, and she laughed strangely: “We are the strong ones among the Twelve Demon Moons under the command of that noble lord.”
Twelve Ghost Months?
Ni Kun raised his eyebrows. Aren’t the so-called Twelve Demon Moons the twelve man-eating demons under the command of the most despicable boss in history in Demon Slayer?
Even the man-eating demon from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has traveled to this doomsday world?
However, as for the Twelve Demon Moons, it seems that each of them has a very unique personality.
The appearance of these two is so ordinary that they don’t look like the Twelve Demon Moons at all.
"What are the Twelve Ghost Months?" Ni Kun asked knowingly.
"What an ignorant human being you are! You have never heard of the name of the Twelve Demon Moons! Humph, although you are just a lowly human, you will eventually use your flesh and blood to feed us, so we will be merciful and let you die knowingly. My name is Zhu Sha Wan, and he is Ya Ba Yu. Even in hell, you must remember our names!"
Zhushawan and Yabaha, I understand, it turns out to be these two noobs, no wonder their looks look familiar.
Ni Kun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile.
These two guys are not the Twelve Demon Moons at all. They are just two elite soldiers who are slightly stronger than ordinary cannibal ghosts. However, they were deceived by the most despicable boss and thought they were qualified to join the Twelve Demon Moons.
Seeing the two greenhorns' smug look, Ni Kun didn't have the heart to expose them, so he just smiled and said:
"Honestly, I don't care what you're called. In my eyes, you're just two corpses. I just want you to do what corpses are supposed to do, which is to lie there and rot into mud."
"What an arrogant human being!"
The expression of the young cannibal named Zhushawan changed, and thick veins appeared on her forehead. Her originally pretty and innocent face suddenly became hideous and terrifying:
"How dare you, a mere piece of food, speak to us like that!"
As she screamed, her arms suddenly became muscular and veiny, looking stronger and more powerful than an ordinary man. In her hands, two colorful balls the size of soccer balls appeared out of thin air.
She raised her hands, threw the ball violently, and shouted, "Go to hell!"
call!
The colorful balls came whistling, and their speed was even slightly faster than the shells from the Japanese army's eighteen muzzle-loading cannons.
Seeing the two colored balls moving so fast, Ni Kun was a little surprised.
But it was just a slight surprise.
The willow whip was too fast to intercept these two colorful balls.
However, Ni Kun also has a flying sword, and he once smashed eighteen shells with one sword.
How can two mere colored balls do anything to him?
He stretched out his hand and pointed. A ray of yellow light burst out from his fingertips and turned into a three-foot sword energy. He first pierced one of the colored balls with the sword, and then suddenly bent it, splitting the other colored ball into two pieces.
The two colored balls instantly turned into blood and evaporated into thin air.
“Huh!”
The cannibal ghost girl named Zhu Shawan exclaimed in surprise, with a hint of fear in her eyes:
"What's this?"
Ni Kun smiled, the flying sword circling around him, and he took out the "Green Bamboo Sword" from his mustard seed ring, which had not yet been refined to the point where it could be absorbed into his bloodline:
"This is called a flying sword. But I guess you don't understand."
"Don't underestimate me! I'm one of the Twelve Demon Moons!"
Zhu Shawan was despised by Ni Kun and was furious. He pushed his hands together, took off his kimono, and exposed his chest and abdomen.
Ni Kun raised his eyebrows:
"What do you mean? Are you giving out benefits? But now you have bulging veins on your face and your arms are thick, this benefit doesn't look good at all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Shawan screamed "Ahhh", and then two arms grew out from under his ribs on both sides with a loud noise.
In the blink of an eye, the cannibal girl turned into a monster with six thick arms.
"You can block two handballs, but what about six?"
Zhu Shawan laughed strangely, and a colorful ball floated out from each of his six palms with thick joints and bulging blue veins. He patted the palms on the ground a few times like basketballs and threw the six colorful balls out at the same time.
The two colorful balls before were flying straight like cannonballs, but Ni Kun easily cut them down with a flying sword.
But now these six colorful balls were no less fast than the former ones, but halfway through their flight, they turned around one after another, some flew upwards, some fell downwards, and some formed arcs, encircling the left and right sides.
Bang!
With a loud bang, a colorful ball flew upwards and hit the ceiling. It was like a cannonball fired from a muzzle-loading cannon, creating a large hole in the ceiling surrounded by spider web cracks. The ball did not slow down at all, and it ricocheted and dived towards Ni Kun's head.
Bang bang!
There were two more loud noises, and two colorful balls fell to the ground like cannonballs, creating big holes in the ground. As the gravel flew, it ricocheted towards Ni Kun's legs.
There were also three colorful balls, one on the left and two on the right, attacking Ni Kun's soft spots and back.
If this happened to someone else, they would probably be caught off guard.
But Ni Kun already knew that the cannibal girl Zhu Shawan, with the cooperation of the cannibal named Yaba Yu, could make the colorful balls suddenly turn and change the attack path, so he was not panicked at all.
As soon as he thought about it, the clear yellow flying sword that was circling around him vibrated with a hum, and a three-foot sword aura burst out. It stabbed upward diagonally like lightning, and with one stroke of the sword, it cut the colorful ball that was hitting him on the head into two halves, turning it into blood and evaporating in the air.
Then it folded again, leaving a streak of yellow light in the air, slashing down diagonally, and with a "puff" sound, it shattered the two colored balls that were bombarding his legs. Then it folded twice more like lightning, shattering the remaining three colored balls one after another.
In an instant, six colorful balls that came from different directions were all cut into pieces.
When the last colored ball was cut, the clear yellow light marks left by the flying sword's several breakthroughs in the air did not completely dissipate, and remained imprinted in the vision of the two ogres.
This immediately stunned Zhu Shawan. Even the man-eating ghost Yabaha, who had his eyes closed, couldn't help but stare with his eyes wide open and cried out, "How could this happen?"
"So, you are just little devils who sit in a well and look at the sky. How can you know how high the sky is or how big the earth is?"
Ni Kun spoke leisurely, and suddenly shook his hand and threw out the green bamboo sword.
The speed of the Green Bamboo Sword was slightly slower than that of the Clear Yellow Sword which had been refined for a longer time, but it was still not something that two little ghosts could dodge.
There was a light "puff" sound, a flash of green light, and the green bamboo sword pierced into Zhu Shawan's chest, piercing through his body and going straight through his back.
"Ha, I told you we are immortal!"
Zhu Shawan smiled grimly, "So what if you are stronger than us? You still can't kill us!"
As he spoke, he raised one hand, grasped the hilt of the green bamboo sword, and was about to pull it out.
However, Ni Kun snapped his fingers, and a golden electric light appeared on the Green Bamboo Sword, landing on Zhu Shawan. Under the burning of the electric light, black smoke billowed out of Zhu Shawan's body, and his skin and flesh turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhu Shawan was shocked:
"What? This isn't the Demon Hunter's Sun Blade, why is it possible..."
Before she could finish her words, golden electric light had already spread all over her body. Then there was a loud bang, and the electric light suddenly exploded, and Zhu Shawan's body was instantly shattered into pieces. Before the fragments fell to the ground, they were burned by the still flickering electric light and turned into ashes.
The so-called "immortal body" of the cannibal ghost is afraid of even the sunlight, just like a low-level vampire. How can it possibly withstand the "golden thunder that wards off evil" of the Green Bamboo Sword?
Seeing Zhushawan turned into ashes with one blow, Yapa Yu was covered in cold sweat. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gulp, and suddenly raised his hands to look at Ni Kun.
On the palm of each of his hands, there was a strange eyeball, and in the pupil of the eyeball, there was an arrow pattern, which looked very disgusting.
Then the eyeballs in the palms of his hands suddenly closed, and some invisible force shot out, instantly wrapping around Ni Kun, and was about to push him against the glass curtain wall and throw him out of the building.
After launching this attack, Yaba Yu turned around and fled without hesitation.
Ni Kun snorted coldly, and a blazing red flame burst out from his body, instantly dispelling the invisible force that was bound to him.
Just as he was about to use his sword to chase and kill Shi Pao Yu, the wall next to Shi Pao Yu suddenly exploded, and large pieces of rubble flew towards Shi Pao Yu like a cannonball.
Ni Kun's heart moved, he pressed down the flying sword, and looked at the exploded place on the wall where smoke and dust were filled and rubble was flying.
Yapa Yu let out a strange cry, aimed his palms at the flying stones, closed the strange eyes in his palms, and the stones were pushed away by an invisible force.
But just as he pushed away the flying gravel, a fist as white as jade suddenly shot out from the billowing smoke and dust, hitting Yaba Yu's chest like a cannonball.
Ya Pa Yu's reaction was not slow. He aimed both palms at the fist, clenched his palms and closed his eyes, then used the same invisible force to try to push the fist away.
But that delicate white fist actually contained an extremely terrifying power. With an extremely brutal attitude, it directly exploded the invisible force. The force of the fist did not stop at all, and continued to break through the air with a thunderous sound, hitting Shi Seyu's chest hard.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Yaba Yu's chest exploded, blood and broken bones flew everywhere, and his body flew backwards like a rag doll, across the entire office, and hit the opposite wall with a bang, leaving a human-shaped dent in the wall, with his entire body hanging in the dent.
It was not until this time that the smoke and dust raised by the explosion of the wall dissipated, revealing a large explosion-shaped hole in the wall that was more than a person's height, and an imposing figure standing in front of the hole.
