Chapter 1171: Chapter 113: No More Yamata, Nor Fusang

Uesugi Risa gazed up dazedly at the Yamata no Orochi gradually taking shape in the sky.

At this moment, her spiritual world was already submerged in the vast ocean of knowledge.

The seven notebooks scattered around began to automatically flip through their pages quietly, lines of text appearing and disappearing quickly.

Countless pieces of information flooded into her mind, countless voices whispered and murmured by her ear, revealing the true face of the world to her.

The truth about the Master of Ten Thousand Transformations…

The essence of Yamata no Orochi…

Time, tide, causality, destiny, mystery, chaos…

“Uh…”

The young Witch subconsciously let out a confused sound.

What’s the difference between roast duck and grilled chicken?

As if the first ray of sunlight at dawn shone upon her soul, the first question she asked caused the countless voices around to pause.

A sea snake, tens of meters long, slowly raised its head from beneath the sea surface, and as its body emerged from the water, it involuntarily shuddered.

The blood-red shadow of the serpent in midair turned into a streak of light and plunged into the sea snake’s head, instantly glazing its dog-sized eyes with a layer of blood.

It hesitated for a moment and cast its gaze toward the blood-soaked mudflat on the shore.

There was still quite a bit of blood remaining there, and the instinctive craving urged it to devour from deep within its heart.

Thus, it opened its blood-red maw wide and took a bite of the blood-soaked mudflat.

A mouthful of mud and sand.

— Not tasty at all!

Uesugi Risa swallowed hard.

Through some level of mystical connection, she could sense the confusion from the orochi’s thoughts. Simultaneously, the orochi seemed to be influenced by some of her thoughts, too.

It felt like biting into a durian.

Not only did it smell bad, but it was prickly to eat.

Though in that moment when it burst in the mouth, there was a deep-seated pleasure.

But that pleasure was fleeting, and it’s hard to get the impulse to take another bite.

The atmosphere on the scene had descended into an awkward tension.

Even the mastermind hiding in the shadows could barely keep it together.

Eat! Why aren’t you eating?

Do you know how precious this chicken soup… no, this snake blood is to you?

Once this opportunity is gone, there’s no coming back! Eat up!

“Hehe…”

Through the tranquil and smooth spiritual world of the young witch, he faintly caught a mocking chuckle from across the way.

The boundless wisdom amassed in the young witch’s mind seemed to find a breakthrough, pouring towards the source of the voice.

Yet it caused not the slightest ripple.

As everyone knows in this world, there are only two kinds of computers theoretically capable of perfectly resisting the information harassment of rogue software. One is a model so outdated that with its insufficient memory even the software itself can’t load and run.

The other is a quantum computer, theoretically possessing infinite information storage capacity.

And today, whether fortunate or unfortunate, he happened to encounter this pair of the young phoenix and the hidden dragon.

“Put away your low-grade tricks; a true Dragon Maiden would not be so easily corrupted by this level of knowledge.”

The voice of Tushan came from the distant fog.

A true Dragon Maiden?

How dare you say something so nonsensical?

Proudly, Tushan lifted her head: “Though she is the worst among the students I’ve taught, she’s still not something an outlying evil spirit like you could covet.”

Covet, my foot! Can we switch to another?

We can switch.

The reserve Dragon Maidens present weren’t even just one.

But those few are even harder to fool.

“Doesn’t this count as child abuse?”

Watching the orochi struggling to eat dirt by the seashore, Shen Qingxi sighed genuinely.

Too pitiful.

According to the normal process, only after finishing the blood sacrifice ritual can Yamata no Orochi be summoned.

The real Yamata no Orochi had been dead for many years, the blood that seeped underground had already dried up. Even if you broke your cheeks sucking, you couldn’t draw out much.

And the sacrificial blood can nourish this mudflat, just like the principle of a water well, pouring a ladle of water in to pump the groundwater out using water pressure.

But because of various reasons, this step was skipped.

Normally, the more blood sacrifices prepared, the better. Back then, Fusang sacrificed an entire nation, slaughtering tens of thousands of people at once to summon the complete Yamata no Orochi.

The request made by Ono Taro was actually not excessive at all. 64 sacrificial offerings were the bare minimum, but Yagyu Junko only brought eight swordsmen in the end.

Then summon nothing but feathers, grab the Hook Jade and run!

But even these eight swordsmen weren’t sacrificed in the end.

If not for Eldest Miss Li sacrificing herself, proactively offering her head… offering her blood, and her blood’s quality being ten times that of others, whether Yamata no Orochi could be summoned at all would still be uncertain.

This sea snake now possessed only one head. Whichever way you look at it, it seems undernourished and developmentally stunted. Without the nourishment of flesh and blood, it’s forced to gnaw the earth to replenish energy.

“When the chickens have eaten the rice, the dogs have licked the noodles, and the serpent has gnawed through the earth…”

Han Bin took a deep breath and turned to ask Yan Yu’an: “Does it need to gnaw this place clean to be done?”

Yan Yu’an nodded: “That’s what it means.”

“And after it’s gnawed clean? When you kill it again, won’t the blood flow out once more?”

“It’s different, what’s eaten and defecated, can you eat it a second time?”

“Not necessarily for humans, but dogs say otherwise.”
