Chapter 377 The White Monster - Part 2 (1/1)
Jin received an unpleasant awakening by the splashi+ng of water on his face though this time, he also hit a boulder sieve which allowed hiot up and observed the surroundings to ht part of the ba to beckon hio through the entire process all over again In the meantime, he carefully touched his neck since there was still the lingering edgy pain fro with the pain, Jin believed that he could feel so left at his throat However, it was just the phantoh, I' for rumbled as he looked at the bamboo forest with fear instilled into hihtmare will only repeat over and over,” Jin told hie bans to indicate where he went and he needed so to mark whether he had been at a location before Hence, Jin cut the ba leaf bushes and a bunch of bright, colourful flowers
After which he tied the bamboo 'cups' to hold a flower or two and placed it on baht That way Jin would know if he was going in circles If he deviated froe the colour of the flower Sadly, he was not able to place any ite repeatedly told hiers feel rather itchy, but the backpack would not budge under any circuave up the attempt and used his shi+rt as a te iteed to handle it well enoughuntil he found solance, it appeared he had encountered an abandoned Chinese temple inside the forest Jin knew there was a chance the White Tiger ht be in there, but he had to find out for sure If there were any useful ite this particular Chinese tenore it
He placed the ite as markers doore his shi+rt and carried his backpack around in case of thieves Jin read enough books with stupid protagonists who suddenly found the items they were supposed to deliver stolen only because they did not pay enough attention or simply left them in someone else's care However, Jin could sy to leave the backpack alone for a short while so that he could survey the area and be faster and stealthier at the sa for any openings to avoid entering from the front door and noticed some broken s and even holes in the walls Vines, plants and insects were also plentiful indicating the te time
The metal, presumably copper, used for the tereenish h He had feared entering the templecrushed under it If it was on the verge of collapsing, he wanted to take the ti, he found an unlocked backdoor and decided to enter with his wakizashi+ unsheathed (He wanted to bring Ba katana indoors for close quarters defence ht not be very feasible)
The door creaked loudly due to the rusty hinges so Jin opened it only enough for hi a rock he found near the ten of the roo he did was to look for any potential kitchen equipured it would be better to have more weapons on him in case he needed the boards, pots and even useable plates He tried checking the containers in the kitchen too, but ive hi the that made him very happy At first, he was unsure, but the smell of it was very familiar So he decided to take a spoonful and place it in a pan After which, he went back to the terounds to find a few dry sticks to practice the bushcraft Ming taught hiht and the dry sticks eventually lit up That hen he poured the liquid on to the burning fire
”Yes!!” Jin raised his fist up as a sign of achievehter and fiercer from the liquid Jin hadoil Now, this was a garounds into a hunting ground Jin got extre the White Tiger's onslaught, but he reminded himself to remain calm and continued to check on the rest of the temple to make sure it was indeed free froe! It does not look that big fro the outside periic at work since he got the perception that it was small from the outside, but it appeared far more spacious on the inside When he reached the reeted him Jin was relieved to find no one there but Bodhisattva hi the dusty broken statue before bowing three tiy in advance ”I am sorry Venerable Buddha I desperately want to survive this tiether and offered a se the cabinets in the ainst the White Tiger
”Candlesmatchsticks! This will be very useful Okay, incense paperjoss sticks” Jin spoke to himself as he found a bountiful amount of prayer supplies in the cabinets They were naturally dusty and the offering papers had already turned yellow, but they were definitely still usable What was even htful was that he found more bottles of oil
He was thankful they used those to fuel the oil pot for followers to lit their joss sticks After which, he checked the other rooms in the temple and incidentally found a bunk roo There was not much except for books, a few miniature statues forbeads and even sets ofmuchwaitif there are booksPerhaps I can find soot an epiphany and decided it should be worth it to spend soendarysaid was true, that the forestto do pertaining to that issue Besides, who in the right mind would put a temple in the middle of a bamboo forest for no reason? For the serenity of the rounds? Impossible
Unfortunately, the more Jin searched for such a book, the more reality disappointed himuntil he accidentally fiddled with a cupboard in the bunk room when he found a part of a folded monk's attire stuck to it Jin tried to pull on it but to no avail
He becahtly suspicious
Therefore, he took his wakizashi+ and placed it at the corner where the attire got stuck and used what little strength he had to rip it open To his surprise, he found a classic revolver with six ruby jewel coated bullets Even nia of the Yin Yang circle on the handle Jin picked it up and inspected the barrel cylinder to find another sixbullets in it
Jin felt reassured that this te for He first unloaded the revolver and checked whether its trigger and ha condition
Click Click
Those sounds seeer He hastily loaded up the bullets and stuffed them behind his pants Thankfully, his backpack at the very least had visible side pockets which he used to place the re After which, he closed the door of the bunk and ransacked the entire place He was not going to leave any stone unturned before he moved on
It was hard work and Jin's haul was a He found a second revolver only this one was filled with Aquamarine jewel bullets instead as well as a priest staff He initially thought it was just an ordinary priest staff which it turned out to be so similar to a sword cane A Sword Staff perhaps? Jin tried to pull it when he saw the staff consisted of attachood condition and it could prove useful
What was ed to find hidden under rolls of bed sheets as it was exactly the thing he had been wishi+ng for when he first saw the revolver It was a Demon Exorcist Manual Jin looked at the book hatever little sunlight left shi+ning through the bunk roo an i eneer of the West To these 'endary ends were created froer was endary protector Jin knew him as It would prove very useful since it listed the potential weakness of the White Tiger
The words in theit hard for Jin to decipher the entire text in a glance But he learned that the White Tiger hated fire and the Ruby Jewel coated bullets that he had found were being referred to as Origin Ruby Fire Bullets in the book Jin truly struck gold with all that persistent raiding The manual said that the Ruby Fire bullets were extreer However, it was recoer could temporarily raise its resistance after repeated attacks
”Souse fire until he becomes immune to fire and after which utilise the ruby jewel bullets and it should be a near instant kill” Jin thought to hih the books and saw that the Azure Dragon of the East (東方青龍 Dong Fang Qing Long/Seiryuu), the Ver Zhu Que/ Suzaku) and the Black Turtle of the North (北方玄武 Bei Fang Xuan Wu/Genbu) were listed in the book too He decided to keep the book for future references in a Deed and was filled with various tools like a compass, a water flask etc He also found a belt with a holster that allowed him to keep the revolver, which made it easier to carry it around
”Now, time to prepare some traps for that stupid oversized cat!” Jin rubbed his nose in anticipation as he carried the pieces of equipment to the main temple hall
