The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 47 - The Red Gems
"Where's the silhouette going?" Xin Fai did not get the gem she was looking for after some time. The location of the stealth gem was different, with the body of a mouse that was that big of course Xin Fai was overwhelmed looking for it.
Lang finally decided to intervene. He rummaged through the contents of the stealthy flesh and found a heart-red gem near the stealth tail bone.
Xin Fai watched the jewel with an extremely deadly aura.
"That means that the murderous aura that you feel around here comes from a mouse demon," he murmured.
Lang commented. "It was no wonder why his murderous aura was so powerful. For hundreds of years living in this forest he's killed a lot of people, even more than me."
Hearing the explanation Xin Fai hesitated to put the jewel into her body. "Do you think it's okay if this gem gets into my body? This gem looks very dangerous."
"If you use the gem, of course, there are benefits and problems in it" Lang explained. According to Lang's own words, the gem could activate as many as 25 inner power circles as well as other advantages that Xin Fai had yet to figure out.
The rest, the side effect of the gem is that it can kill the human soul of Xin Fai up to a few percent due to the nature of the gem that is full of murderous aura.
Besides that the blood red gem made Xin Fai more bloodthirsty like a demon, the more he got such a gem the more it disappeared as well as its human side.
Xin Fai became hesitant after hearing the explanation but inevitably she had to collect all 33 stealth gems so that if the demons had risen in her body she could at least put up a fight.
The stealth gem instantly absorbed into Xin Fai's body as it was directed towards his spine, the sensation of the gem was completely different. His body felt stronger with his sense of hearing getting sharper.
Kaibo approached while resting on his wand. Every time he spoke his beard also moved like a caterpillar, making Xin Fai inevitably have to look away. That certainly makes Kaibo confused but he did not bother about it.
"The stealth that you get gives you the advantage of following the nature of the owner of the gem," he explained. "If what you're dealing with is a snake demon, then the gems you get will make you immune to snake venom."
"Is my body after that able to produce snake venom?" Xin Fai asked excitedly, she seemed very enthusiastic considering all this time if she had to win she had to rack her brain. And one of his sneaky plans was to use the poison of the Five-Eye Centipede.
But the response he got was really annoying, Lang put on a face like saying 'dumb kid!' basics!' kaibo shook his head.
"No way, your organs and systems are different from snakes. I'm just giving you a little idea who knows who can help you."
"Oh well I'll think about it, I'd better test my strength right now."
"Your inner strength was even drained away earlier." Lang interrupted.
"I will learn to recover my inner strength in a short time, this is very necessary in such a precarious situation."
The spirits that roamed the forest had reentered the Book of Seven Keys, Kaibo had also returned to where he came from.
While Lang chose to rest under a large tree, not far from him Xin Fai sat cross-legged while taking a deep breath.
Recovering stamina of course takes a long time, lucky from the stealth gem earlier he got 25 new inner power. With that after taking a short rest he tried to run with the Light Steps.
Xin Fai's body felt fused in the air, her steps so light as weightlessness. If you recall, the speed of running the rats was much more terrible than this.
"I'll have to increase my running speed if I don't want things like that to happen again." Inner Xin Fai. Had there been no Lang of course he would not have survived with this running speed. Although when compared to humans the speed is also not bad.
"I need to get stronger, Dad! I will kill the Blood Devil Man immediately!"
After cheering thus he practiced the sword more vigorously, while imagining the techniques Lan An had once taught as well as Fu Shi's teacher.
Even when the sun had risen again Xin Fai was still standing holding a sword, the sweat all over his body did not make his spirit decrease in the slightest.
His calf trembled because it could no longer, the energy he used was also not playing games. He trained the Half-Circle Moon style to refine it, making Xin Fai's palm flushed red from holding the sword for too long.
"It's not enough! I need to get stronger!"
Lang, who had just opened his eyes was made dumbstruck by that shout. He woke up and found Xin Fai still practicing like last night.
"Hhhh... If there's a world tournament of madmen I'm sure this kid will definitely win" Lang grumbled inexhaustibly. Xin Fai practiced like an insolence person. He hasn't even slept in the last few days.
Xin Fai himself was used to the condition, when he was a child he always went to sea with his father when night fell. Sleep for him only if the state of his body began to be less healthy, the rest if Xin Fai could not want to sleep too long.
In the past when told to sleep by his mother was Xin Fai prefers gardening in the backyard of the house or drawing water in the well to ease the workload of his parents.
Xin Fai was a very diligent person, he was trained to do hard work even though he had to stay up late at night.
Hungry Lang decided to walk around for a while considering that he did not like the human food that Xin Fai brought. He was looking for his hunted animal further and further away from Xin Fai's place.
Xin Fai who was still in a burning spirit was confused after looking back and did not find Lang there. He frowned and tried to search around him.
The instant the sound of a wolf roar rang out, Xin Fai drew closer to the source of the sound by using the Light Steps making his travel time much faster.
Xin Fai found Lang standing in front of a new corpse, where a beautiful woman was seen with the cavalry with a flag symbolizing their noble family. But what Xin Fai found was not only that, but inside the woman's arms there was a faint sound of baby crying.
Xin Fai approached and pulled the baby, but the fingers that held the baby's body were so strong. Xin Fai was overwhelmed by the finger of the corpse protecting the baby.
"He loved his son so much that he held his baby this heavy..."
As Xin Fai forcibly pulled the finger even to the sound of a broken bone, she muttered apologetically to the corpse.
Lang just watched without commenting, a hint of strangeness felt within him to the point of making him wonder.
"Why do I suddenly intend to help this baby?!" Inner Lang. In the past, he did not care much about human life.
Lang did not know the reason for directing Xin Fai to save the baby but one thing was certain, since meeting Xin Fai his attitude was much better than the previous one.
