Chapter 40: The Magic Weapon (2/2)
”Cloth? Where does the cloth come from? Could it be possible that a man lived here before?!”Junior Leopard thought curiously. He observed the cave carefully, still in disbelief that someone could have lived there once.
”How lazy this little monster is!” It had fallen asleep on the cloth when Junior Leopard saw it again.
”Either the little monster has some unique techniques to protect itself or it is highly alert to danger. Or it is so lucky that coyotes haven't taken it away when it sleeps defenselessly during daylight.”
Feeling puzzled, Junior Leopard stopped hiding and walked directly towards the cave. As he continued, his footfalls were not quiet. On the contrary, he even used his inner strength, each step heavy like drums. The noise was loud enough to wake up a sleeping pig much less a sensitive chipmunk.
Despite his expectations, the little monster didn't notice him at all. Junior Leopard was at the entrance of the cave now, but it was still asleep. What was even more surprising was that it turned its back and yawned as if enjoying the rest to the utmost. There was a faint sound of snoring between its nose and mouth.
”Damn, the little monster is lazier than a pig! I would like to see what you can rely on that you are so reckless in Misty Mountain!”
While it was true that Junior Leopard's anger over the little monster had already disappeared, but he was still discontented when it was sleeping in front of him so recklessly. He reached out to grab the little monster, but to his surprise, a lump of golden lights suddenly stopped him from approaching when he was one foot away. The lights emanated from the yellow cloth.
”Ah — ”
The cloth didn't just stop him. Junior Leopard was off guard when his hand touched the yellow lights, he suddenly felt as if there were dozens of steel needles penetrating his hands. He was overwhelmed by a burst of pain and eventually couldn't help but scream.
His cry was loud. The little monster woke suddenly and saw Junior Leopard yelling at the entrance of the cave. It didn't panic but giggled instead.
It was fortunate that the pain did not last long. He couldn't feel any after a while. After his hand escaped the lights, he checked it but everything was normal. The only difference was that his hand was slightly red as if burnt by something hot. While the little monster watched him gleefully, his mood was rather gloomy.
”Hell, I'd better check the almanac before going out in the future. It's not worthy to suffer losses for no reason from this little monster!”
Apart from feeling gloomy, Junior Leopard also felt a sort of rapture.
Magic weapon, that was a genuine magic weapon!
He was sure enough that the lights were from the yellow cloth on the little monster's body. Whatever the yellow cloth was, he knew it must be something unique. And there was no reason to keep calm as a magic weapon had appeared in front of him.
No longer was he an innocent kid now. While he lived in the slums of Qingyang Market in Jianghu, he had learned naturally that magic weapons existed in the world. During his past life, the supernatural fictions also mentioned magic weapons. But for the real magic weapons in this world, the ways to get them were clear, but the places to find them were much more difficult.
As noted, the so-called Special Technique was a way that people converted Evil Qi to Qi that was useful for people. Junior Leopard was practicing the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, it was a technique that transformed two forms of Evil Qi to Sword Qi. Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang and Xue Wuya's Bloodfire Gang both belonged to special techniques. Gangqi was regarded as the top special technique in the world. Except for the ways that directly transformed Evil Qi for personal use, there was another form of special technique. The other technique combined Evil Qi with some unique materials or treasures with a special technique, ultimately the treasure and Evil Qi fused to create a magic weapon.
