Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 9: Iron Arm
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Open the door!"
It was dark in the teahouse.
Lu Tong woke up suddenly and asked: "Who is it?"
"Yiyi Zong, conquer demons! Open the door quickly!"
"Come right away."
Lu Tong got up from the table and kicked Dahan awake from sleeping on the floor.
"Go and open the door quickly."
Dahan walked to the door in two steps, opened the door and stood outside a monk wearing a gray robe.
"Who is Hoof?"
Lu Tong lit the lamp, walked over with a cane and said, "I am, my name is Lu Tong now."
The gray-robed monk held a compass in his hand. After injecting mana, two light spots lit up on it, which happened to correspond to the positions of Lu Tong and Dahan.
"It doesn't matter what you call it. You have two half-demon here. One of you must go to Qianxue Mountain. Who will go?"
Lu Tongtong: "I'll go."
"Okay, stretch out your hand."
Lu Tong stretched out his left hand.
The gray-robed monk took out a red seal and put it on Lu Tong's palm, leaving a red seal.
The stamp pattern is very simple, with a circle on the outside and a cross on the inside.
"Meet at the South Gate at noon tomorrow. You have been assigned to guard Qianxue Mountain. Remember to bring half a month's worth of rations."
Then the gray-robed monk took out another thumb-sized gold seal, put a golden seal on Dahan's hand, and said: "This seal cannot touch open flames, be careful not to drop it, otherwise it will go to Qianlong with it." Cave Mountain."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lu Tong was delivered all the way to the door.
The streets outside were still noisy, with groups of monsters and half-demon being led out of the city by the monks.
Many ordinary people were watching the excitement on the roadside.
The children played unscrupulously, running from one side of the road to the other. He burrowed under the bull demon's belly and jumped back on the fox demon's head.
Yiyi Zong compulsorily recruits monsters and half-demon, but will not touch humans.
The life and death disasters of monsters and half-demon have nothing to do with them.
Lu Tong felt a biting chill inexplicably, and for the first time he felt that this place was so dangerous.
A half-demon is not qualified to practice step by step.
He stood at the door and was greatly shaken, with various thoughts flashing through his mind. The evil method practiced by Hooves and Bird Feathers also emerged unconsciously.
"Dahan, close the door and follow me to the backyard."
……
Next to the stone pile, Lu Tong took out a large cowhide coat.
This is a defensive weapon made from a whole piece of demon cow hide. The skin from the cow's head is peeled off and hung on the back collar. The skins from the four legs are sewn on the sleeves and back hem respectively.
Lu Tong put on a cowhide coat and injected magic power into it.
The cowhide quickly expanded, the head was buckled on the head, and the four cow legs wrapped the limbs respectively.
In an instant, Lu Tong turned into a bull demon standing on two legs.
There are only two holes in the body for the eyes. The rest of the body, including the mouth and nose, are tightly blocked. Even the five fingers are wrapped in a thin layer of cowhide.
Lu Tong took out a crossbow and some iron arrows and handed them to Dahan.
"Dahan, shoot me with a crossbow."
"Oh."
Dahan always listened to Lu Tong's words, so he picked up the crossbow and aimed it directly at his head.
Lu Tong was startled and said quickly: "Wait a minute! Don't shoot in the head, shoot...shoot in the calf."
He just wanted to test the defense of the cowhide magic weapon, so he didn't need to take such a big risk.
"Oh."
Dahan nodded, raised his crossbow, aimed downwards, and pulled the trigger.
"Boom~"
The crossbow arrow disappeared, accurately hit the calf and fell to the ground, leaving no trace on the surface of the cowhide.
But Lu Tong staggered twice and sat down on the ground.
He looked at the two horse hooves and shook his head helplessly.
These days, he practices walking without crutches and has mastered using the muscles of his legs, the strength of his waist and abdomen, and his arms to maintain balance.
But after all, he was born with deficiencies. Without the assistance of crutches, he could not resist the impact of even an arrow.
Lu Tong understood that with his current strength, it would be difficult to survive even if he had more magic weapons in Qianxue Mountain.
If you want to save your life in a dangerous place, attack and defense come second, and the most important thing is to be able to hide, hide, and run away.
"Dahan, you stay here to look after the house. I'll go to Liu Blacksmith's house."
We will set off at noon tomorrow, and there is not much time left.
……
In the blacksmith shop.
Blacksmith Liu was shirtless and refining a magic weapon in front of the gold melting furnace.
The **** iron stove gave off a red fire. Blacksmith Liu took a green leather gourd covered with formation patterns and carefully drew out a stream of hot molten iron.
The molten iron slowly flows into the lines, and within a few breaths the green-skinned gourd is covered with a fine silver mesh.
Blacksmith Liu took a deep breath, put his hand on the gourd and poured in mana.
A layer of light lit up on the silver net, and an inch-long sword light quickly condensed from the gourd mouth. Then the sword flashed past and penetrated into the wooden pile next to the stove, leaving a deep hole as thick as a finger.
Blacksmith Liu casually threw the gourd to his apprentice Heizi, asking him to polish and carve it.
Tiejiang Liu took out a towel, sat next to Lu Tong, wiped his sweat and asked: "Come to buy a magical weapon for Dahan?"
Lu Tong shook his head and stretched out his left hand to reveal the seal on his palm.
"Huh?"
Tiejiang Liu repeatedly wiped his sweat-free neck with a towel, widened his eyes and asked: "Do you know how dangerous 'fog' is? There are cobwebs and fog monsters in the fog. I heard that there were monsters in the past. Get sucked in and turn into a fog monster the next day."
"I know, but we can't let Dahan die."
Lu Tong read a book all afternoon, and he was no longer the illiterate person he was at noon who couldn't even read a word.
"I am so lucky to have met you in eight lifetimes! Tell me, what magic weapon do you want? Even if I don't have it here, I will find a way to get it for you."
"Crutches."
Lu Tong had customized a cane in the blacksmith shop. No further explanation was needed. Blacksmith Liu immediately understood his needs.
Blacksmith Liu walked into the shop and walked around.
I sat back on the chair and thought for a long time. Suddenly my eyes lit up and I stood up and said, "There is a magic weapon suitable for you! I'll go out and be back soon."
Tiejiang Liu strode out and blended into the crowd of monsters on the street.
Soon, the streets outside became quiet and the sky gradually became brighter.
It wasn't until the sun fully rose that Blacksmith Liu came back with a tired face. He almost tripped over the steps when entering the shop.
Lu Tong stretched out his hand to support Liu Blacksmith and asked, "What happened?"
Tiejiang Liu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm sorry to have delayed you for most of the night. I went to ask my senior brother for the magic weapon~IndoMTL.com~ but he pulled me into working as a coolie all night."
After speaking, Blacksmith Liu took out two iron arms and handed them over: "Try them."
The two iron arms are more than four feet long, complete with hands, wrists, elbows and arms.
The five fingers on one end are sharp iron claws, and there is a big hole at the end of the big arm on the other end.
Lu Tong put his right hand into the hole and hooked each of his five fingers on a metal noose.
Try to bend your index finger to pull the lasso, and the second finger on the other end will also bend. It is very convenient to control.
Lu Tong looked at the iron claws that just hung down to his feet, shook his head and said: "Old Liu, these two iron guys can indeed be used as crutches, but they add up to at least forty pounds, so it is better to just use crutches."
"Who said this is a crutch? This is called the Mountain Iron Monkey. It was originally a magic weapon used by the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce to mine ores. I specially removed two arms for you. You lie down and walk on four legs."
Lu Tong couldn't help but think of a kind of monster living in the mountains and forests - the gibbon mountain ape.
The forearms of the mountain ape are extremely long. When on the ground, they use both arms to exert force, half jumping and half running, and move very fast.
He also put it on his left arm and tried to lean forward, with his two long arms directly supporting the ground.
Imitating the movements of the mountain ape, I grabbed both hands and stroked backwards hard at the same time.
At the same time, both hooves kicked hard.
A huge force came from both arms, and Lu Tong flew out without any mental preparation.
He climbed five or six feet in a hurry, and finally fell down at the door of the tea shop.
Blacksmith Liu was so frightened that he hurriedly chased him out.
"Lao Lu, are you okay?"
Dahan heard the sound and opened the door and came out.
Seeing Lu Tong lying on the ground, he rubbed his head and asked, "Boss, why are you sleeping on the ground too?"
