Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 281 — Sword Ingrid
Zhou Yuan walked home after obtaining the Ingrid Sword, because there was nothing more valuable than the sword.
From the beginning, the tomb was indeed made to store the Ingrid Sword and not a place where the treasure was buried.
Zhou Yuan initially thought that the sword was one of the world element swords Jian Chen had told him about a long time ago but it turned out that his conjecture was wrong. The Ingrid Sword did not possess such a feature.
Zhou Yuan kept the Ingrid Sword at his waist, as he walked back from the tomb he was now accompanied by the girl who emerged from the sword, he sat on Zhou Yuan's shoulders.
The little girl kept talking all the way, her mouth did not stop telling her who she was. From him Zhou Yuan finally found out what the girl's name was, she was named Ingrid, the spirit of the Ingrid Sword.
At first glance this girl named Ingrid has the look of a 4-5 year old girl, her face is sweet, silver-haired. His voice was flattering and it sounded cute, every time he spoke, Zhou Yuan always tried to hold back his laughter.
"You know, I'm one of the three legendary weapons that I live in. A lot of people want to take me over to make me their owner, but I'm no ordinary sword, I live, only my previous owner can use me." Said the girl in between she told me.
"Legendary weapon? I never heard it."
"Of course you won't know because your world is too small and remote." Ingrid brought his index finger and thumb as close as possible.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, he was confused as to what he should reply to but he realized that the girl was not from this world.
Zhou Yuan was no longer surprised to hear the news especially after he met Yun Feiyu in another world, indicating that the universe was so vast.
"If you want to know, my strength is as strong as Palu Mjolnir and the legendary Axe Leviathan. Have you ever heard of it, the two heirlooms are often referred to as weapons that can destroy the world." Ingrid rubbed his nose proudly.
Zhou Yuan scratched his head, he was not sure if he should believe the girl's words, his words were too exaggerated to even seem boasting. Zhou Yuan acknowledged that the Ingrid sword he carried was a high-level heirloom quality sword but compared to the Kusanagi sword, he was still much weaker.
That sword may indeed be very sharp but to destroy the world, even a fool would know the truth.
"I know you don't believe it, but you have to remember that my power now depends on whose power it belongs to." Ingrid grunted annoyedly.
"If I had my strength like I used to, I could split the mountain just once on a swing." Ingrid folded his arms chest, "In another sense, you're too weak right now to be my owner."
"You're sorry I took you?" Ask Zhou Yuan. "I don't mind putting you back on that rock again."
"No, hey what do you mean, I never said sorry, I just said you were too weak." Ingrid hastily disallowed his words. "And don't think I'm being put back there again, I'm sick of being locked up here for too long."
Zhou Yuan chuckled at Ingrid's panicked face, he looked adorable.
After walking for a long time, Zhou Yuan finally reached the outer door of the tomb, finding Han Xiang and several others still waiting for him outside the tomb.
"Mr Swordsman, you're finally back." Han Xiang breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zhou Yuan come out. "After hearing the loud roar inside, I thought you wouldn't survive."
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, "So there are indeed some obstacles, the reason I've been there for so long is because the tomb is too deep to trace."
Han Xiang nodded, at least Zhou Yuan was okay back here.
"A long time ago I didn't see the sky..." Ingrid inhales oxygen deeply and then exhales slowly. "This is called life."
Zhou Yuan heard the girl's words, he was actually a little confused because Han Xiang and the others were like not seeing Ingrid on his shoulders.
"Only you can see me, they can't see my astral form like this." As if he could read Zhou Yuan's mind, Ingrid explained it later.
Zhou Yuan nodded, remembering that he could not see the girl when he did not come into contact with Ingrid's sword.
Han Xiang was intending to bring Zhou Yuan back to his house when suddenly one of the citizens came to Han Xiang in a hurry.
"What?! How can the wolf pack find our settlement?!" Han Xiang was shocked after hearing the report. "Don't I forbid you not to go out for a while."
"Chairman, the pack of wolves came for smelling the bodies of the bandits outside the fort, the scent of blood made them find us."
The bodies of the robbers that Zhou Yuan had slaughtered earlier were indeed left alone, but did not expect to lure the surrounding ferocious beasts.
Actually it does not matter if it is an ordinary wolf pack, the residents in this settlement can throw it away but it will be different story if they have evolved into demons.
The settlement was initially protected from attacks by wild animals as it was hidden by leaves and bushes, but because the attack of the thieves yesterday made their settlement location so open that it was visible to the demons in this forest.
Especially because of the many corpses of robbers that Zhou Yuan had snuffed out, the fishy smell of blood made the beasts come here.
Zhou Yuan felt he could not stay still so he went with Han Xiang to the settlement fortress.
There have been many other residents who have been on standby to fight the pack of wolves.
The pack of wolves tried to get inside the fort that limited the settlement, Zhou Yuan jumped up and stood on the wooden ramparts to look at the wolves.
"They've really become demons, it would be dangerous for this settlement if I had just left yesterday."
Outside Zhou Yuan's fortress saw about 40 wolves who were already demons with their age around 20-50 years. They equaled the strength of the peak swordsmen of the Silver Realm.
According to him, the strength of this settlement could not defeat the wolf pack.
When Zhou Yuan wanted to go down and finish off the wolves with his hands, Ingrid beside him suddenly prevented him.
"Hey, let me fight them." Say the girl.
Zhou Yuan's movements came to a halt, raising his eyebrows. "You? How'd you do it?"
"You see, I haven't moved my body in a long time... It's time to show you my powers."
Before Zhou Yuan responded, the girl had already returned into her sword, not gradually for long the Ingrid sword slipped out of its sheath and began to float in the air.
Zhou Yuan was not surprised but the rest of the citizens were very shocked at the sight, let alone suddenly the sword moved by itself, darting rapidly at one of the wolves.
The werewolf that Ingrid Sword was after had no idea what had happened when suddenly his gaze darkened and no longer breathed. The sword pierced through his body and killed him in a single strike.
Not yet the first wolf sprawled into the ground Ingrid Sword had already floated up again and was eyeing the other wolf.
The speed of the Ingrid Sword was not something that the wolves could see, their hard skin seemed insignificant by the sharpness of the Ingrid sword that could kill them in a single strike.
Within a short time there were already dozens of wolves that had died on the spot with heart wounds being pierced.
All the residents in the settlement were shocked even frightened to see the action of a sword that could float and was like having a mind of its own. The sword looks alive.
In less than a minute the pack of wolves died helplessly after the sword of Ingrid pierced their hearts one by one.
Ingrid's sword then flew back towards Zhou Yuan after all the wolves died, there was no bloodstain from the sword that showed the sharpness of Ingrid's Sword.
"You see, that's not how powerful I really am." The girl appeared again and snorted proudly towards Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, he saw that the werewolf corpses were almost all dead in a single strike. Zhou Yuan had to admit Ingrid Sword was extremely sharp especially his stab.
