Chapter 68
Faced with Geto Suguru's "rogue" blame-shifting behavior, Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth fiercely and felt his fists itching. If there wasn't a quasi-first-level cursed spirit in front of him, he would definitely have a good fight with Geto Suguru.
Amidst the crisp sounds of "paji, paji", there were also extremely slight wailing sounds. The tail of the giant snake curse spirit was more than ten centimeters thick at the end, and it was surprisingly flexible. It could hold up the fly heads one by one, and it was more stable than holding them with hands.
Xia Youjie knew that the giant snake cursed spirit's angry roar was partly because he had purified its food. Although he didn't know what the use was of it eating the fly's head, according to common sense, they would be more interested in humans.
It is also easy to imagine that the giant snake curse spirit did not attack him and Gojo Satoru at the first time, not because it was not interested, but probably just wanted to save the hard bones and the most delicious food for last.
When Geto Xiayou was passing the buck to Gojo Satoru, waves of cursed spirits appeared behind him again, and more cursed spirits emerged from the black ripples behind him. The cursed spirit on his shoulder that was used to search for and mark the fly's head swung the tentacles on its head even harder, and afterimages appeared, like a wet dog shaking off the water from its body.
Gojo Satoru, who was flying in the air, couldn't help but let out a disgusted "ah". Although he didn't have mysophobia and had the no-lower-limit technique, the mucus couldn't possibly stick to him. He did this mainly to complain about Geto Suguru's "carelessness".
When Geto Xiayou heard Gojo Satoru's "Huh", he smiled helplessly and shook his head. He raised his hand and pinched a few fly heads into cursed spirit jades, and then casually threw them into his open backpack. He might not be able to tame these cursed spirits, but he did this just to cooperate with the cursed spirits he released and to clear the scene quickly.
His cursed spirit had a clear target. The first thing it did when it came out was to destroy the fly heads on the ground, exorcising them one by one. Xia Youjie took advantage of every opportunity to pinch a few fly heads into cursed spirit jades. In a few breaths, he had basically cleared the area. Only the fly heads near the giant snake cursed spirit were difficult to exorcise.
However, there is absolutely no problem in leaving the remaining trivial matters to Gojo Satoru.
Although Gojo Satoru did not take those overly weak cursed spirits seriously, to him, those things were just like ants on the ground. He would not even notice if he accidentally stepped on a few of them while walking on the road.
However, seeing Geto Suguru exorcising the flies, he was not idle either. He snapped his fingers, controlled his own cursed power, and ignited those weak guys. They couldn't even utter a scream under the blue-black cursed power flames before they were exorcised, turned into ashes, and disappeared.
Although Gojo Satoru was not as efficient as Xiayou Jie in completing the exorcism in one step, he was much more efficient. He grinned. He was only exorcising some weak cursed spirits. In this comparison, Gojo Satoru also felt a sense of accomplishment. He snorted and laughed: "Jie, why do you have to exorcise cursed spirits so slowly? Why not let me do it? It will be done in the blink of an eye."
Xiayou Jie pointed out with a smile: "It took Satoru at least three seconds to purify them. Does a 'blink' take that long?"
Gojo Satoru choked and muttered to himself, what a black-bellied fox he is, always deliberately finding faults and exposing others' shortcomings. He has really been led astray by Baichuan Mu.
However, he didn't hate it.
Gojo Satoru chuckled, "If we leave it entirely to Jie, the time needed will be enough for Naturo to take a nap."
…
On the other side, Ieiri Nozomi, who was watching a cartoon, sneezed and felt like someone was talking about her.
Baichuanmu asked with concern: "Have you caught a cold?"
She took off her scarf and gave it to Jia Ruo Xianzi as a shawl.
Ieiri Shoko thanked her and took out the snacks that she had originally intended to leave for Gojo Satoru, looking at them with indifference. These were all sweets, and she didn't like them very much, but she didn't hate them either.
"Glass?" Bai Chuanmu asked in confusion, "Don't you dislike sweets?"
"Yes, but," Ieiri Naoko fiercely opened the snack bag, "I feel that Gojo Satoru said bad things about me behind my back, and I want to take revenge on him."
Jia Ru Nitro, who was trying hard to stuff snacks into her mouth, looked like a cute little hamster. Bai Chuan Mu wanted to pinch her face, but in the end, Bai Chuan Mu still grabbed a handful of snacks: "I will take revenge on him with you."
"Sister Mumu~" Ieiri Shoko was deeply moved.
…
On the other side, Gojo Satoru felt a chill just after he finished speaking, but he couldn't figure out why, so he could only attribute it to the giant snake curse spirit in front of him.
After all, it is only a quasi-first-level cursed spirit. Even though Gojo Satoru claims to be the strongest, he also knows that he is not fully developed yet. There is still a certain risk when facing a quasi-first-level cursed spirit. However, after adding in what Geto Suguru said, Gojo Satoru feels that there is no problem as long as he does not take it lightly.
While the two of them were exorcising the curse spirit, the giant snake curse spirit was still trying hard to eat the fly heads, but the process was very fast. It only ate more than ten flies and then used its tail to reach for them, but couldn't find any more. It could only grab a handful of leaves in vain.
It suddenly turned its head and looked at them, and Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru could actually catch a hint of anger on its pale and calm mask-like face.
"Ding-ling ding-ling", with the sound like the collision of copper coins, the rust on some of the coins on its body faded away, and a few small holes were filled with new "scales".
The place where the coins were missing was a black hole. It seemed to have no flesh and was empty inside. The main body looked like a mask and countless silver coins made up of it.
However, Gojo Satoru could see clearly that it was not completely empty. Behind the mask there was an ugly piece of flesh, like a brain or a heart. It was beating like the embryo in the egg on the ground before. There were also countless blood threads extending from it, stringing the coins together.
The blood and tears in the giant snake curse spirit's eyes were not real blood and tears, but just extra bloodshot veins.
While Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru were purifying their hair and talking, the giant snake cursed spirit healed its wounds by eating "eggs", but those wounds were not all caused by Gojo Satoru using [Ao].
While the giant snake curse spirit was healing, Gojo Satoru was also observing it.
"How interesting," Gojo Satoru commented, "Who knows, this might really be its 'child'."
"What?" Xia Youjie was stunned and failed to follow Gojo Satoru's train of thought, but he still controlled the curse spirit to attack the giant snake curse spirit.
When Geto Suguru's curse spirit moved, the giant snake curse spirit also started to swim at the first moment. It was really as agile as a snake and slid very fast, but the giant snake curse spirit did not launch an attack. Instead, it swam along the wall, trapping Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru in it.
Geto Suguru's cursed spirit couldn't find the right time to attack, as he didn't have any cursed spirit that was particularly good at speed.
His curse spirit attacked the mask of the giant snake curse spirit again and again, but it was dodged nimbly. The attack landed on the copper coin, making a "buzzing" sound and did not cause any damage to it, but cracks appeared on the claws or hands of his curse spirit, as if it was injured by the recoil.
"Long-range attack." Xia Youjie spoke quickly and collected several cursed spirits near the giant snake cursed spirit. However, there was one that was a beat slower and was swallowed by it. Although it was only a third-level cursed spirit that was eaten, Xia Youjie felt a little distressed.
Even though he was able to treat most of the cursed spirits as consumables, he still couldn't help but feel regretful.
Hearing Geto's command, Gojo Satoru uttered a sigh of relief: "I was just about to do that."
As he spoke, he pinched a few [Cang] and threw them at the giant snake curse spirit. While throwing the [Cang] domineeringly, he continued to explain the previous words in a nonchalant manner: "The cursed energy of those fly heads is very similar to its scales, as if its scales turned into fly heads, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are its children."
Xia Yujie frowned slightly, and while summoning the curse spirit that was good at long-range attacks, he thought. He also noticed some dark holes on the giant snake curse spirit. Although it was not as clear as Gojo Satoru, that kind of thing would make people more likely to associate it with wounds. "What's the point of it letting its scales shed into a fly head? Make itself weaker, lure the enemy, and then eat it when the time comes?"
"How can a quasi-level monster be that smart? It's just its fighting method. Gojo Satoru said this, but he didn't stop firing [Cang], "Most people wouldn't care about the fly head. Even if they wanted to exorcise the 'big enemy' big head, they wouldn't be distracted to deal with the fly head. But unfortunately, it met the two of us. It probably didn't expect that someone would destroy its reserve food for replenishing its physical strength and healing its injuries in the first place, right?"
Gojo Satoru is the least worried about a war of attrition. With six eyes, his cursed energy consumption is extremely low. It mainly depends on how long his brain can last. He has no problem playing with it for a whole morning, but Jie may not be able to last that long. Although he has cursed spirits and does not have to worry too much about the consumption of cursed energy, it is still very difficult for him to replenish his cursed spirits once they are consumed.
Gojo Satoru wanted to end the battle quickly, but the giant snake curse spirit was as slippery as a loach and escaped from his palms several times, causing him some trouble.
Fortunately, Jie switched to long-range attack, which can greatly reduce consumption. This made Gojo Satoru feel relieved and he could concentrate on slowly reducing its blood line.
"Storing food?" Xia Yujie glanced at the cursed jade in his backpack. Before, he had just picked up a bunch of fly heads and put them in his backpack. Now it was in a semi-sealed state and could be subdued or exorcised.
However, Gojo Satoru's words gave Geto Suguru a bold idea. Since this thing can be used as a reserve food for the cursed spirits to heal their wounds and replenish their physical strength, could he feed the cursed spirit jade to his own cursed spirits?
"Satoru..." Just as Geto Suguru was about to express his thoughts, he was hastily interrupted by Gojo Satoru.
"Its heart is beating faster and faster. What's going on?" Gojo Satoru said loudly.
As soon as the words fell, the giant snake curse spirit that was swimming at high speed suddenly stopped, turned its head and looked at them. Its tightly closed eyes with blood and tears in the corners suddenly opened, revealing a dazzling golden color.
When Xia Youjie looked into its eyes, he felt a little dazed, and his thoughts seemed to slow down. Without time to think, he raised his hand and summoned a defensive curse spirit to block Gojo Satoru...
