I'm a weird expert in Japan

The cursed snakes, which were becoming more and more integrated, also began to gradually share feelings.

The remaining six white ones stood tall, making hoarse roars, all staring at Lian.

Each one was thicker than his arm, and if Lian was entangled, he would suffer a lot.

"Is it troublesome..." Shiyu asked with concern.

"Ah, it's very troublesome." Lian replied in a low voice, and suddenly raised her voice, "But there is no way to stop it——!"

Along with the high-pitched sound, Lian raised the demon sword and rushed forward at a speed that no human could match.

But that only applies to humans, not necessarily to snakes.

Snakes in the jungle hunt by relying on speed and strength.

Faced with the rushing Lian, the cursed snakes fought back with their bloody mouths.

"Well--!"

With one strike of the sword, he successfully cut off most of the head of one of them. As a price, Lian's waist, thigh and arm were injured, and blood gushed out and spilled on the bluestone ground.

"ripple--!"

Shiyu couldn't help but shout out.

"If you don't want to die, just stand there quietly and don't come over!"

Lian shouted in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the snake the whole time, without even looking at the wound.

The blood spurted out for only a moment and then stopped. Through the moonlight and the lamplight, Shiyu could see that the back of her clothes was torn, and the two large holes left by the snake's fangs were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's a bit troublesome indeed, but if you can't kill me, you're just ordinary weirdos."

Lian held the knife in both hands and talked to himself indifferently.

But Sheqieshen couldn't understand these words, nor could he respond to them. They were more of self-suggestions.

I should have called for help earlier. He smiled helplessly.

But there is no such thing as knowing everything in advance.

After saying this silently in his heart, Lian seized the opportunity and rushed towards the still moving giant snakes again, swinging his sword from right to left.

Chapter 61: Chapter 2: As a Novice ()

Time passed by second by second.

Four, five...

Snake Cut Rope lost more than half of its own kind and became more and more ferocious.

The wounds on Lian's body kept appearing and healing, and his clothes and pants had more than a dozen holes of varying sizes. He thought this must look very avant-garde.

Vampires are also afraid of poison, but the scoring type.

For a vampire in his prime, snake venom wouldn't get in the way.

He perfectly offset the weaknesses of vampires with his human bloodline, leaving only ripples of vampire advantages, and was undoubtedly in his prime.

However, after being attacked too many times, Lian felt that his strength began to fade.

If he continued like this, after a few more attacks, his body would probably be covered in wounds and unable to regenerate quickly.

If he evacuated now and found a place to rest for a few hours, he would be able to return to his original state.

Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow this.

What’s the point of de-escalation work if the parties involved are all dead?

How should he explain this to Mr. Hanekawa...

Fortunately, now all the attention of the snake cutting the rope was on Lian, and Xue Cai was safe and sound.

Her body no longer made the sound of twisting bones, and she lay there quietly. Her faint breathing proved that she was still alive.

It seemed that he understood that if he continued, he would be defeated.

Snake Cut Rope launched an active attack.

I had some concerns before, fearing that I would chop Xuecai with my knife by brute force, but now that the cursed snake was coming towards me, it was actually a good thing.

He rolled sideways to avoid the first wave of attacks, Lian holding the long demon sword horizontally.

Maybe after chopping it off, he can even brag that he is the contemporary Susanoo.

Before that—

A snake came around from the side, intending to attack Lian from behind and bite off his neck.

Another one is coming towards us.

The third one is bottom-up.

Lian was shocked again and prepared to take a gamble with his immortality.

Should he lose the ability to move first and wait for regeneration, or should he be killed by cutting the rope while the three increasingly ferocious snakes remain?

If I don't do this, except for myself who can't die, both Shiyu and Setsuna will be doomed.

"You run away first, and leave this to me--!"

There was no time to explain the details, Lian could only shout orders to Shiyu while fighting back.

However, Lian accidentally overlooked the fact that Kasumigaoka Utaha was not a very obedient person.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who should have obediently evacuated the abandoned shrine with her clothes in her arms, ran straight towards Lian after hearing this.

Lian was stunned.

He wondered if this woman was crazy and was eager to die?

With half her weight gone, she ran faster than she had expected.

Then, he stopped and threw something at Lian with force.

To be more precise, it was behind Xiang Lian.

Lian was a little slow to look back, only to see something being thrown deep into the snake's huge mouth.

What followed was a chain reaction, starting with the snake that had swallowed the object. The remaining two snakes successively disrupted their attacks and began to twist their bodies irregularly, as if in extreme pain.

Without having time to think about what Shiyu had done, Lian cut off the two snakes in front of him in succession.

But the third snake gave up Lian and rushed towards Shiyu, leaving him no time to change the direction of the knife.

"Not good..."

Lian Ma gathered all his strength and rushed forward, standing between Shiyu and the snake.

After a click, he hugged Shiyu and rolled a few times before stopping.

"Are you okay?" Lian propped himself up and looked at Shiyu who was lying below.

“…I’m…fine…”

Shiyu responded hesitantly and watched Lian turn over and lie beside her.

"But...your arm..."

She saw with her own eyes that Lian's arm was torn off by an invisible snake, and at the cost of this, she escaped.

Blood spurted out, staining Shiyu's face and most of her body red.

"It's okay, it's not a fatal injury." Lian looked lazily at the last snake.

The snake, in great pain, dropped Lian's arm, twisted itself completely away from Setsuna's body, and disappeared outside the abandoned shrine.

The broken arm began to break into pieces and floated towards Lian.

Repairing the original part will regenerate faster than growing it again.

"I'm sorry..." Shiyu looked at the scene and apologized in a low voice.

"What did you throw out just now?" Lian was more concerned about this question.

“…‘Slug tofu’.”

"I see, no wonder it's so effective." Lian understood instantly, and he gasped, "No, where did you get this stuff from?"

"… I bought it…"

"Is it."

Then Lian didn't ask any more questions.

He had casually thrown Beimunizhou's business card to Shiyu before, but he was just teasing Shiyu on purpose.

Unexpectedly, Shiyu actually used it, and contacted Beimu to buy the props from the fraudster.

Slug tofu.

It is said that snakes are afraid of slugs, slugs are afraid of frogs, and frogs are afraid of snakes.

So it is very effective against cursed snakes.

But after all, what Beimu sold was a fake monster. If it was the real thing, the snake would have been defeated the moment it hit.

"Because I was a little concerned about the specific situation, I contacted the fraudster and asked about the 'Snake Cutting Rope'."

"Although that guy is a fraudster, he still has some integrity when doing business..." Lian smiled helplessly.

There was no need to cheat and he could make some money, so Beimu told Shiyu all the basics. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to judge the snake's position and accurately grasp the timing to use "Slug Tofu" in that situation.

"how much did you spend?"

"Half a million."

"Add the five hundred thousand you gave me...that's one million now. Did your money come from the wind?" Lian closed her eyes.

He didn't know how to complain.

"But I want to be useful, not just stand there and watch." Shiyu sat up. "Based on my performance just now, can you give me a passing grade?"

"What score?"

"My first battle as an assistant to the weird expert."

"Who said you were an assistant?" Lian didn't answer her and sat up.

“Hmm…” Shiyu felt disappointed.

"But I still have to thank you." Lian touched his recovered arm, "Thanks to you for helping me. Otherwise, even if I could solve it, it wouldn't just be an arm that needs to be regenerated."

Shiyu opened her eyes wide, looked at Lian with surprise, and was about to say something.

"Surprisingly, I didn't expect you to actually do it by yourself."

A clear and emotionless voice sounded.

"Ms. Atonogi..." Lian looked at the torii gate at the entrance of the shrine in surprise.

"Ms. Woyan thought it would be a tough battle, but it seems like it won't be a problem at all." Funoki Yujie stood there, "You can even defeat the prototype of Yamata no Orochi, maybe I should praise you."

"It's not all my fault." Lian stood up, "And as you can see, I'm in a terrible state."

"Really?" Atonoki glanced at Shiyu.

"How do you know this place?"

"Miss Woyan told me that you might not be able to handle it, so she asked me to come over to help. It seems like I made a wasted trip."

"It's not a wasted trip." Lian pointed at Xue Cai, "Could you please take her home?"

"can."

Atonoki readily accepted Ren's request, picked up Setsuna and her clothes, and left the shrine.

"Then let's go back too." Lian stood up.

Shiyu wiped the blood off her face with the back of her hand, "I can't go back like this, right?"

"..." Lian looked at Shiyu's bloody appearance, "Will you come to my house?"

“Is it appropriate…?” Shiyu began to act shy and pretentiously.
