Chapter 812: Is Testing the Sword Turned into Testing the Gun?
The night sky was covered with dark clouds, the Milky Way was faintly visible, and there were only a few figures in the woods, with hardly anyone as beautiful as jade.
The three of them sat cross-legged in the woods and got to work before it got completely dark. They cut down a lot of trees, and since they didn't have nails, they could only use simple mortise and tenon joints to piece them together.
The night wind rustled the leaves, adding a touch of life to the otherwise quiet night.
The three sat around inside the house, the firelight illuminating the entire space, and a cold draft occasionally blew in, but it didn't bother them.
A campfire was built with a few pieces of wood, and in the middle was the [Sunfire Greatsword] that Cheng Ling Shuang had been longing for.
Yes, to save time, Li Ming directly used the [Sunfire Greatsword] to start a fire.
He planted the Sunfire Greatsword in the ground and unleashed a [Sunfire Impact], the towering flames nearly setting the ceiling ablaze.
"Alright, Ling Shuang, stop staring at my greatsword." Li Ming emphasized the word "greatsword."
Cheng Ling Shuang simply turned her head away; although her face was expressionless, one could still sense her resentment.
"Uncle-Master, Junior Sister Cheng also feels insecure without a suitable divine weapon."
Su Mei tried to smooth things over, but Li Ming looked at her and said, "Then you should give [Lingluo] to Ling Shuang, since you already have the Xuanyuan Sword anyway."
"The Xuanyuan Sword was given to me by my master, and this [Lingluo] was given to me by my uncle."
Su Mei's meaning was clear: "Uncle-Master, you can continue. I'm fine now."
Li Ming was speechless. What did that mean? When did I give you [Lingluo]?
"Uncle-Master, is it really alright tonight?"
Although the three of them had cleaned up and repaired the dilapidated house, it was clear that it wasn't very sturdy.
After all, it was just a simple mortise and tenon structure, and Li Ming's craftsmanship wasn't that refined, so naturally there were many problems. Even a gust of wind would make the whole house shake.
“Let’s take turns keeping watch at night. During the day, we can explore the surrounding area. If there are no residents on the island, that’s fine. But if there are, we’ll need to protect them.”
Actually, Li Ming wasn't that meticulous, but since he had promised Qin Baijiang, he decided to see what the situation was like on the island.
After all, she still had to take care of Qin Baijiang's child.
"Take turns to keep watch?"
Su Mei glanced outside, then at the campfire.
Li Ming wasn't too worried. "Don't worry, the fire won't go out."
"Is that so?"
However, Cheng Ling Shuang clearly cherishes it, and now she can be said to disdain her own three-foot-long sword.
Well, it's not to the point of being dismissive, after all, it's still my own sword. But once I've seen something better, it'll be hard to go back to using this sword that even dulls when cutting down bandits.
From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.
Seeing that Cheng Ling Shuang was still eyeing his [Sunfire Greatsword], Li Ming sighed helplessly and casually pulled out two [Plasma Spears].
ME can mass-produce these, and they have a considerable stockpile of them, more than enough to give one to everyone.
"Here, this is for you."
Li Ming casually handed over a plasma spear. The two men were quite curious about its spear-like shape and peculiar design.
"This is......"
Even though Su Mei was very knowledgeable, she couldn't explain exactly what kind of weapon it was, but it was definitely a long weapon, similar to the tip of a mace, with sharp, angular edges.
The gun's body was bluish-white, but the lack of a sharpened tip and blade piqued the curiosity of both of them. Cheng Ling Shuang took the [Plasma Gun] from Li Ming's hand and casually tossed it aside.
The weight and texture, although it didn't feel as exhilarating as the [Sunfire Greatsword], made Cheng Ling Shuang feel as if she could wield it with ease.
Li Ming flipped the weapon from his right palm to his left and looked at Cheng Ling Shuang's expression. It seemed that Cheng Ling Shuang was very satisfied with the weapon.
That's normal. After all, ordinary weapons can't withstand the erosion of Honkai energy for long. Even that meticulously crafted three-foot-long sword developed a chip when cutting down bandits.
It should be known that Cheng Ling Shuang's sword is extremely sharp, her swordsmanship is profound, and her movements are clean and swift. There would never be any situation where the blade wears down due to cutting into bone.
Therefore, Li Ming was quite surprised by the loss of Cheng Ling Shuang's three-foot-long sword.
Therefore, this [Plasma Spear] was the weapon that Li Ming prepared for Cheng Ling Shuang. Otherwise, how could they test their swordsmanship without even a decent weapon?
Wouldn't this sword-testing turn into a joke?
But it seems that the [Plasma Spear] isn't a good solution either. Should we switch from testing the sword to testing the spear?
That's interesting, but Li Ming feels he'll be beaten to death by the Immortal Chi Yuan.
"Uncle-Master, this strange spear..."
Clearly, Su Mei understood what Li Ming meant, but was testing the sword going to turn into testing the gun?
Uncle-Master, are you perhaps hoping to get a beating from Master?
Indeed, if my junior sister were to lose her weapon, she would probably have no ability to protect herself even when facing that dragon.
Seeing that Cheng Ling Shuang had reluctantly accepted this, Li Ming didn't say anything. After glancing at her a few more times, Li Ming's gaze immediately turned outside.
"Look, we have a guest!"
Li Ming had a smile on his face. The wooden planks of the small house, which was boarded up, had cracks in the wooden planks at the door and window, which made all three of them draw their weapons.
However, none of the three were reckless, especially Cheng Ling Shuang, who had just acquired the weapon. But when a pair of crimson eyes flashed through the crack, those eyes were bright red, fierce, and utterly irrational.
Unlike the assassins of the original world, this assassin looked quite ordinary, and his clothes made him seem more like a local resident.
Its hands and feet were bound with heavy iron chains, and scales and claws extended from its cheeks and arms.
Unlike the Claw Death Squad, whose energy blade is a full meter long, it is still thirty centimeters long.
And it was these claws that had just destroyed the newly built wooden wall.
Even the claws still had wood chips on them.
Such obvious characteristics need no further explanation; it's clear that these assassins were created because of that dragon.
Ding--
With a long cry, Cheng Ling Shuang's three-foot-long sword flew out of her hand and nailed into the head of the assassin.
Then the three of them attacked simultaneously, with Su Mei, who was holding the "Lingluo" weapon, directly cutting down to her lower body.
Cheng Ling Shuang, wielding the Plasma Gun, plunged it straight into the assassin's face.
Li Ming clenched his fist, and a faint purple light appeared on the [Star Ring Vortex].
The three attacked simultaneously, and the pitiful assassin wasn't even left with a complete body.
Its head flew far away and was pinned to the ground by the [Plasma Lance], still carrying residual electric current.
His lower body was severed at the waist, and the [Scattered] sword cut him in two horizontally.
His upper body, along with the chains, was smashed into dust by Li Ming's fist.
Li Ming dusted himself off, "Tsk...not difficult at all!"
