You say this is a love game?

Makoto Mizutani was silent for a moment, and once again raised his middle finger to this crappy game.

This middle finger is mainly aimed at the map of the back mountain.

Think about it, in this crappy game, the only thing with "highlight prompts" is the soul. The herbs in front of him are just like props, hidden in the corner without any light. If you don't know these herbs, you will really walk past them and won't realize that you have missed the elixir.

"How would I have gathered herbs without Yoshiko?"

Relying on the oral instruction of the witch?

The witch will tell him the pharmacology of the elixir and where it might grow, and then he will carry a bamboo basket and search for the herbs all over the mountains?

In order to collect medicinal herbs, you have to learn herbal medicine...

Mizutani Makoto bent down and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The information about this [Scarlet Ganoderma Lucidum] flashed through his mind, and Mizutani Makoto just wrote it down.

In the subsequent development, Satori Yoshiko's lucky perception is still the main focus. This kind of task that requires relying on "intuition" to judge where there are good things is simply the area that Satori Yoshiko is best at. She led Mizutani Makoto to collect medicinal herbs everywhere.

"The Scarlet Ganoderma Lucidum is used to treat the [Boiling Blood Secret Medicine]."

"One [Boiling Blood Secret Elixir] requires three scarlet Ganoderma Lucidum plants, one blood rose, and herbs from the real world... I've found the scarlet Ganoderma Lucidum, and I've also found the blood rose."

In front of a bush, Mizutani Makoto bent down again and carefully plucked the blood rose growing in the blood-red soil. A notification flashed in his backpack, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Successfully harvested herbs could be stored in his backpack, extending their storage time almost indefinitely.

But if he fails to pick the herbs and causes them to be damaged, Tongzi will arrogantly judge them as failures and will not be able to put them into his backpack.

This also forced Mizutani Makoto to improve his herb collecting skills.

As a result, Mizutani Makoto's ability to collect herbs has really improved a lot.

The main thing is that he has been practicing all the time. The herbal medicine taught by the witch is not complicated. After all, it is just the characteristics, pharmacology, and growth preferences of certain specific elixirs, rather than cramming a whole set of systematic knowledge into his head, so it is actually easy to understand.

"and this!"

Yoshiko Satori jumped out from the bushes, holding a cluster of shrubs in her small hands. There were small scarlet fruits growing on them. This thing called "Loya Fruit" was the medicinal ingredient for the [Secret Medicine of the Flesh] next door. Since the witch said that it could also be collected in this place, he paid a little attention to it.

At the same time, the [Secret Medicine for the Flesh] also required a medicinal herb called "Fire Bell Grass", which he finally found after crossing mountains and rivers.

However, the "Hepa Grass" and "Fallen Leaf Flower" required for the [Spiritual Secret Medicine] are not available in this crevice.

All of this was pretty much as Furuya Ruriko had expected. The medicinal herbs that could be produced in such a chaotic place were basically related to flesh, blood, and violence. It was too much to think that the herbs for the [Spiritual Secret Medicine] could be found here.

"It's still acceptable."

"In the early stages of development, physical fitness is ultimately more important... Compared to the [Spiritual Elixir] that strengthens the mind, what I should refine most now are the [Flesh Elixir] and the [Boiling Blood Elixir]."

The medicinal materials for spiritual medicine have been almost collected, except for the medicinal materials from the real world.

Mizutani Makoto breathed a sigh of relief.

My patience with this map has finally reached its limit.

"Poisoned again!"

Mizutani Makoto looked ahead and saw that the rare flat slope was covered with mud, and foul-smelling gases like swamp methane were escaping. Mizutani Makoto had just gotten closer when he felt a heaviness in his chest.

Boom...

There were two wood spirits walking in the swamp. They were also wood spirits, but they were different from the old tree spirits that Makoto Mizutani met along the way. These two wood spirits looked stronger, and they were holding an extremely thick tree trunk in their hands, giving people a very oppressive feeling.

To be honest, this is actually his second life.

While playing the role of a little boy picking herbs, Mizutani Makoto died once and had to take a break. He didn't come back online until midnight to continue exploring the back mountain.

And his death was also very simple and unpretentious.

The map of the back mountain is dotted with similar "swamp" terrain. Once, Mizutani Makoto stepped into a trap and slid directly down the loose earth slope, accidentally entering this swamp. Then two wood spirits crawled out of the swamp, and while his legs were stuck in the mud and he could not move easily, they fired two "Tree Trunk Bash!" one in front and one behind, sending him to the sky.

He is the top of the paper, and these two wood spirits are the middle of the paper.

But while he is stuck in the terrain and has difficulty exerting force, even a middle-level player can swing a tree trunk and smash him into a pulp.

At present, Mizutani Makoto has no intention of fighting to the death with this group of swamp wood spirits.

He lay on the grass slope, his eyes avoiding the swamp. At the other end of the swamp, there was an extremely huge ancient camellia tree, and less than twenty steps away from the ancient tree, there was a flower in full bloom.

Yoshiko Satori gently tugged at his arm and pointed at the flower, her eyes sparkling.

"Big brother, there's something good!"

Chapter 102: Shuyuhua and Guchun’s fairy trap.

What props can be called "good stuff" by Yoshiko Satori?

Before Satori Yoshiko reminded him, Mizutani Makoto had already noticed the abnormality of the slope. Of course, what he discovered was a sense of "crisis", similar to the feeling given to him by the female ghost in the gymnasium.

That tree is a camellia tree.

Long before exploring the back mountain, Mizutani Makoto had already asked Kurosawa Ryohito for information, so he naturally knew who the final boss in the back mountain was.

"Gu Chun."

Makoto Mizutani looked at the camellia tree and slowly revealed the identity of the enemy.

Ancient Chun, also known as the spirit of ancient Chun and the spirit of ancient camellia.

It is the monster mentioned in "Konjac Pictures Continuation of One Hundred Demons".

The ancient chun spirit is typically an ancient camellia tree, its form often taking various forms to harm humans. In classic legends, it transforms into a beautiful young woman to seduce men and absorb their essence, or into a cute toy or animal to lure away children, only to then kill them.

Another theory is that Gu Chun would seduce men, and when she killed them, she would die as well, and then she would be reborn together with the men she had killed, and the two of them would go to another world together. She could be described as a landmine woman who would explode without any warning.

But no matter which legend it is, Gu Chun’s characteristics are relatively clear - she likes to kidnap men.

"what?"

After hearing what Mizutani Makoto said, Satori Yoshiko was stunned.

She was a little entangled and said: "If this is the case, will you be in danger, big brother?"

No, in fact, no matter what BOSS you face, the danger is the same. It can be said that death is like the wind, always by your side.

Of course, he had reason to suspect that the "danger" that Satori Yoshiko was referring to was something else.

To be honest, he did care a little.

But if you think about it carefully, he is playing Dark Souls, not Black Souls, so there shouldn't be the kind of plot that players like.

He could tolerate the execution CG, but the defeat CG was a bit abstract... Tsk, Tongzi, can I trust you on this matter?

Tongzi obviously would not answer such a question.

Mizutani Makoto glanced at the pink and purple flower in full bloom, and naturally became very curious.

"I want to see it."

Now that the medicinal herbs have been collected almost completely, Mizutani Makoto only has to do some repetitive work of farming souls, plus find a way to get rid of the old monsters that have lost their heads and reached the same level... But there is no point in rushing about this kind of thing, it's nothing more than farming slowly, accumulating slowly, and the opportunity will naturally appear in front of him.

Soul: 1763

Mizutani Makoto stroked his chin and looked at the ancient tsubaki in the distance. A bold idea was gradually taking shape in his mind.

"I still have a [Water Tiger Hidden Magatama] on Lao Hei's side that I haven't taken."

"That magatama costs 2000. I can just kill a few monsters and get the full amount. Honestly, that's not that expensive..."

Makoto Mizutani does what he says.

Go to the atrium and the JK ladies in the square to engage in school bullying and extort money!

With the little pocket money that Miss JK had, and it just happened to be on his way, Mizutani Makoto glanced in the direction of the teaching building and the cafeteria, and his S attribute exploded. By the time he got back to the gymnasium, his soul had far exceeded the goal of "2000".

Find Kurosawa Ryohito and start spending money with just a wave of your hand!

【Water Tiger Hidden Magatama】

Description: The craftsman cut out three scales from a water tiger's throat, mixed them with the sorrowful eyeballs of drowned victims, and honed them together to forge this steamy magatama. The wearer consumes spiritual energy to enter an "invisible" state, slightly increasing movement speed and making it less noticeable.

[Review: Transparent World, but you know what you should stay away from, right? Scythes, hemp stalks, cowpeas, don't touch any of them!]

Sickle, hemp stalks, cowpeas.

These are all related to the story of Shuihu.

The water tiger is most famous for its ability to "become invisible", but it is also a man-eating monster that likes to suck human blood. If people want to guard against the water tiger, they will naturally try every possible means to find ways to resist it.

According to legend, if you want to guard against water tigers, just hang a sickle at the door, because water tigers are afraid of sickles.

Another method is to scatter some hemp stalks or cowpeas outside the house. The basis for this practice is that water tigers hate these two things. Once they see hemp stalks or cowpeas outside the house, they will turn around and leave.

They are all settings that reflect the simple fantasies of the people.

“Is this considered jewelry?”

Mizutani Makoto weighed it. In his hand was a blue-black magatama, emitting faint vapor and with a dull luster on the surface.

You know what, it’s quite smooth when you put it on the plate.

That description sounds a bit scary.

This [Water Tiger Hidden Magatama] is the same as [Ksitigarbha's Buddha Head Bead]. It is neither a necklace, nor a ring, nor an earring. It is more like a walnut that can be held in the hand and cracked hard. The way to equip it is also quite direct. Just put it in your pocket and it is considered equipped.

It’s quite different from Miss JK’s HIS.

He had tried tying Miss JK's underwear to his hands before, but it didn't work.

From this we can see that there are still "wearing position requirements" for Tongzi.

Mizutani Makoto pulled out a glass ring from his backpack. It was a miniature curved spine that would automatically adapt to his finger when worn.

——[Sleeping Spine Ring]

This is the equipment dropped by the mirror, which has the effect of "reducing presence".

Makoto Mizutani had also tried the effects of this ring, but reducing his presence was ultimately just a reduction, which simply made him more easily ignored by the enemy. However, if he entered the sight of the monsters, he would still be noticed by them.

"If combined with 'Invisibility', it should have a very good effect."

Mizutani Makoto put on the ring, and a cold touch came along the fingers of his right hand. Of course, he hasn't changed much now - whether it is the [Sleeping Spine Ring] or the [Water Tiger Hidden Magatama], the skills of these two equipment are active skills that require spiritual power to activate, and spiritual power must be consumed during the activation period.

With these two pieces of equipment as a foundation, Mizutani Makoto was finally able to put his bold idea into practice.

"Go pick that flower."

This is a standard player mentality.

During this trip to the back mountain, Mizutani Makoto's final mission was to test Gu Chun's combat power.

According to legend, the ancient cypress is a demon that harms people.

The demons born in the cracks are even more bloody and brutal, and each one is crazy.

After experiencing so many attacks from bosses, Mizutani Makoto had long given up hope for the enemies in the crevices. If they were NPCs, he could still show mercy, but obvious enemies like monsters and ghost stories would definitely have to be killed in the end.

If you understand the situation that Mizutani Makoto is facing, you can understand the logic of his actions - the flowers placed near the ancient toon tree seem to be good things, and he originally wanted to test how ferocious this BOSS is, so he decided to go all out and see if he can pluck the flowers as well.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Mizutani Makoto finally understood what that meant.

Donor, I feel that this thing has a connection with Buddha!

The last step.

"Serving the gods to descend."

"The disaster is moving!"

The final preparation that Mizutani Makoto made was that he used the power of summoning the gods to complete a superb fusion with Yoshiko Satori, and used the power of disaster transfer targeting "Guchun".

This is a tactic that harms others and benefits oneself.

Transferring your own misfortune to the enemy is equivalent to increasing your own luck in a short period of time and then letting the other party fall into misfortune and bad luck.

Unfortunately, the number that came out was still "unlucky".

The "disaster" has arrived, and Mizutani Makoto holds his breath and concentrates.

A faint light flashed from the [Water Tiger Hidden Magatama] and the [Sleeping Spine Ring] at the same time, and then Mizutani Makoto's entire body began to become transparent until he completely disappeared. Only the slight sound he made when he walked was left, but it was difficult to detect the abnormality mixed with the sound of the wind.

Run the map!

The invisible state of [Water Tiger Hidden Magatama] increases movement speed!

The swamp is a low-lying area, and Mizutani Makoto has no way to bypass it directly. Even if he can move forward on the hillside next to it, he will eventually have to slide down the hillside. The noise will be so loud that it will definitely not be hidden from Gu Chun's perception.
