Strong fragrance.
It has reached an unprecedented level.
Almost as soon as he smelled the fragrance, Jason froze.
All kinds of food began to appear in his mind.
Naturally, Jason stopped in his tracks.
He dismissed those thoughts about food, and he began to restrain himself.
Shortness of breath begins.
Then-
He tore off the backpack behind him.
In the backpack, there were ten knives from the 'Ten Knives'. Jason's original plan was to savor them carefully after the battle was completely over.
But now, he really couldn't help it.
In fact, after collecting ten 'famous knives', he endured hunger.
He thinks this is also a rare test of 'hunger'.
Also like the previous 'wine gourd'.
But different.
When facing the 'soul-recovering gourd', Jason can completely 'confront'.
Because, then it is relatively safe.
And now
Still fighting!
In Jason's perception, there are at least three extremely powerful auras peeping here.
Not on him.
Just skim.
Or, to be precise, all three eyes were attracted by Uesugi's ancestral house.
Therefore, Jason pulled out a 'famous knife' and threw it into his mouth.
[Swallow Anzi Small Cutting Blade (broken)]
[Excess recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!]
[Saturation +100]
[Saturation: 1231]
[Eating excitement: +1]
[Eating Excitement: 2]
…
It feels like freshly fried french fries.
crisp.
Jason frowned, raised his hand and took out a bag of ketchup from his backpack, tore it open and squeezed it into his mouth.
French fries + tomato.
I don't know when it will become a default standard configuration.
It's like if you go to eat roast duck, you have to order a set of pancakes.
Jason didn't hate the default.
After all, this is to the taste of most people.
Of course, adding some of your own flavors is even better.
So, the next moment, Jason took out another bag of black pepper.
French fries + tomato + black pepper.
Although the taste is strange, but with French fries, it is really cozy.
First crispy, then sweet and sour, then slightly spicy and salty.
After the final blend, what comes to the taste buds again is the taste that potatoes should have.
Jason chewed.
Not even the scabbard was spared.
However, there is no satiation degree, let alone the excitement of eating.
It's just contaminated with the smell of 'food'.
It's like a packing bag.
therefore-
Pooh.
Jason spat out the scabbard, took out the next knife, and stuffed it into his mouth.
[Swallowing Anzi Big Cutting Blade (broken)]
[Excess recovery of physical strength, energy, and injuries!]
[Saturation +150]
[Saturation: 1381]
[Eating excitement: +1]
[Eating Excitement: 3]
…
It still tastes like french fries.
But it is different from [Anzi Small Cutting Blade].
[Anzi Small Cutting Blade] is thin potato, and [Anzi Large Cutting Blade] is thick potato fries.
Or wide fries to be precise.
Not to the extent of hash browns.
But each potato is softer.
Without hesitation, Jason tore open two bags of sweet and spicy sauce.
Unlike the crunchiness of thin potatoes, the softness of coarse potatoes is more suitable for sweet and chili sauce—Jason thinks so.
Initially crisp and soft, sweet for the introduction, spicy for the general.
When the final spiciness begins, the next thick potato has already been eaten.
Before I knew it, a bag of thick potato fries was eaten.
Putting it here with Jason, the blade was completely digested before he knew it.
After the two 'famous knives' entered his stomach, Jason's heavy breathing became slightly normal.
It's not that hunger is gone.
For Jason's stomach, he was hungry at any time.
Two 'famous knives' can only give him some psychological satisfaction.
Still, that's enough.
At least Jason can think more rationally.
"Every famous knife has the 'excitement of food'?"
Jason looked at the text prompt in front of him, and he was full of surprise.
You know, he still has eight 'famous knives' now.
If you convert it, it's eight o'clock 'excitement of food'.
Although Jason had a lot of expectations for the real "Famous Knife" before, but until he actually got it, he was still shocked by the benefits of each "Famous Knife".
Of course, there was one more thing that made Jason doubtful.
"Why are the 'famous knives' broken?"
This point became even more prominent after Jason finished eating the remaining eight 'famous knives'.
Every 'famous knife' is broken.
The 'excitement of food' exists as well as the taste they display.
Similarly, the satiety rate started to skyrocket again—
[Saturation: 2321]
[Eating Excitement: 11]
…
A 'breakage' can be considered an accident.
Twice 'broken' can also be considered a coincidence.
But five times, ten times
"What happened, and then these famous knives became 'broken'?"
"It doesn't look like there is any problem on the outside, and it maintains the sharpness it should have."
"So, it's inside... damaged?"
Jason thought.
However, there is too little information.
Jason couldn't really be sure what happened.
After keeping this in his heart, Jason began to face up to his harvest this time.
"2321 satiety degree, 11 o'clock food excitement..."
"It should be enough... No, it's not enough."
Jason finally shook his head.
According to his plan, the next step is naturally to bring another core skill [War Pattern, Prussia, Griffin, Shadow Body Forging] to an extraordinary level.
From the perspective of the past, 2321 satiety is enough.
But thinking about the accident when [Protection from Evil] was promoted, and the appearance of [Slashing Evil], Jason slightly raised the requirement for this satiety.
3000!
After you have 3000 satiety, you can upgrade [War Pattern. Prussia. Griffon. Shadow Hidden Body Training]!
Of course, Jason had another consideration.
[Dawei Tianlong Law]!
Can the core inheritance of Tongshou Temple be integrated into [War Pattern. Prussia. Griffin. Shadow Hidden Body Forging Technique]
For such attempts, Jason has always had.
However, he was not able to fully demonstrate his 'talent' due to his slightly low hunger before.
Now
Should be enough.
But that's all for later.
Now
His gaze turned to the bushes not far away.
The gathering place of the Uesugi family not only maintains the original relatively ancient style, but also has many bamboos, pine trees and some vines.
These plants are distributed on both sides of the road or on street corners.
Arranged in a special way, it seems patchwork.
Obviously, such planting is carefully arranged.
Under this arrangement, two groups of people pass by different paths, even if they are 4-5 meters apart, as long as they don't make louder noises, they can't see each other at all.
But, that's just for ordinary people.
For Jason.
Powerful, almost nine times more than ordinary people's perception, so that he can clearly perceive the people around him.
Not to mention when someone stared at him with fiery eyes.
Jason looked at the pine and bamboo forest on one side.
The other party didn't have any hidden intentions, and just walked out so generously.
He was dressed in a white swordsman uniform, showing his tall figure, and his long black hair was combed into a high ponytail, fixed with a pure gold headband, looking extremely capable.
But the fox-like eyes gave this sophistication a sense of charm.
But the high and firm nose gave this charming feeling a bit of heroism.
The very contradictory temperament appeared on a woman just right.
Let the other party's already beautiful face become more eye-catching.
Jason is no exception.
However, unlike ordinary men, what Jason looked at was the opponent's hands.
Those hands were white and slender.
It has an extraordinary taste.
delicious food!
Jason narrowed his eyes.
When the woman who came out saw Jason's gaze, not only did she not feel disgusted, but she laughed instead.
"You feel them?"
The woman asked Jason.
"Um."
Jason nodded without hesitation.
He can confirm the taste of food.
Such a nod made the woman's smile even brighter.
Even, there is a strange sense of sweetness.
"You eat a knife?"
the woman asked.
"No."
"That's 'purification.'"
Jason said bluntly.
It should have been seen, most likely because of the 'negligence' in his perception when he was fighting hunger after the strong smell of food came out of the ancestral house.
Jason had expected this.
Although he is no longer the original him, when dealing with 'hunger', he is no longer so blindly obedient.
However, if 100% control cannot be achieved, problems will arise.
Therefore, Jason was already prepared.
"It is a secret method derived from overseas exorcists."
Jason emphasizes foreignness and secrecy.
The 'inner world' and 'mysterious side' of the island are quite closed.
For most of the mysterious people overseas, they are limited to knowing.
learn
Maybe understand a little bit.
But definitely not too much.
Even if they understand it quite well, Jason's emphasis on 'secrecy' is to deal with this.
However, the woman smiled and shook her head.
"How does the knife taste?"
The woman didn't ask other questions, but asked about the taste of the 'famous knife'.
This made Jason, who was preparing for the follow-up speech, frowned.
Why not play cards according to common sense
Shouldn't he be asking what his means are
Why did you ask about taste.
"It's 'purification'!"
Jason emphasized again.
"How is the taste?"
the woman asked again.
Moreover, this time, after the woman finished speaking, she asked Jason in a more serious tone: "Your perfunctory words are worthy of the taste you tasted? Are you worthy of those 'foods'?"
"Or… "
"You can swear on 'food' and tell me it's 'purification'?"
Pressing!
Jason was speechless.
Jason doesn't mind lying about other things.
For Jason who lives in the 'city that never sleeps', such lying is really commonplace.
He just opened his mouth.
But when using 'food' as an excuse...
He couldn't speak.
That is a fact that cannot be opened after persistence.
Everyone sticks to something.
Some are responsibilities, and some are justice in the heart.
Others are simply "love" for family and friends.
But Jason is different.
He is a 'love' for 'food'.
It was a love from the bottom of my heart.
Facing this love.
Jason couldn't ignore it.
It cannot be covered up with lies.
Not to mention, use it as an excuse.
It would be an insult to the 'food' if it was done that way.
call!
Jason took a deep breath, looked at the woman in front of him, and finally said—
"It was delicious."
He said word for word.
The woman smiled, her eyes became crooked like crescent moons.
Then, the woman raised her hand.
Two 'famous knives' appeared in her hands.
Jason immediately became alert.
However, the next moment was unexpected.
The woman just threw one of them to Jason.
Jason didn't pick it up, but let it fall to the ground.
At the same time, he took a step back.
He was worried that this was the opponent's special attack method, or it was simply a trap.
However, when the 'Famous Sword' landed, nothing happened.
Jason looked at the woman puzzled.
"I treat you."
As the woman said, she pulled out the 'famous knife' in her hand, inserted it into her mouth, and began to chew.
Seeing this scene, Jason was stunned.
Besides him, is there anyone else who eats a knife
Cao Bilei was very satisfied with Jason's blank expression.
Because, when she accidentally saw Jason eating a knife, she had the same expression and the same thought.
Besides her, is there anyone else who eats a knife
Cao Bilei is a taboo in the Cao Bi family.
Not only because of her rebellion, but also because of the forbidden art she learned.
'Knife-eating technique'!
A secret technique of devouring the 'famous knife' to gain power.
This is an extremely terrifying secret technique.
It requires not only a strong talent, but also a willpower like steel, and a long time.
Especially talent!
It is truly one in a million!
From the Warring States period to now, the Kusakabi family has recorded that there is only Kusakabi Lei who can learn the 'sword-eating technique', except for the original creator.
There is no doubt that the 'knife-eating technique' has given Cao Bilei great strength.
Even, it can be called horror at all.
But this kind of power also made her different.
Not human.
Not a monster.
Not ghosts.
Not Shikigami.
Totally heterogeneous.
Cao Bilei, who betrayed her family, had been looking for her kind for a long time.
Because she firmly believes that she is not alone.
But in the end she was disappointed.
She is just one person.
She tried everything to no avail.
She even found a talented person to learn the 'Knife Biting Technique' together.
None were successful.
Even those real swordsmen are the same.
In the end, they all exploded and died.
So, when she accidentally saw Jason devouring the 'famous knife'.
She froze.
She, who was already disappointed, suddenly saw hope, like seeing light when she looked up in an abyss.
Suddenly, she changed her plan.
After throwing the stunned Kakizaki, Amakasu, Usami, and Naoe there, and quickly killing the other two infiltrators, she went to Jason with the other's 'famous knife'.
She saw the same kind.
She wants to see for herself.
She needs to be convinced that what she sees is real.
Therefore, after chewing on the 'Famous Knife', she looked at Jason without blinking, and said—
"please!"
