Almost as soon as he smelled the fragrance, Jason was stunned.
Various foods began to appear in his mind.
Naturally, Jason stopped just like that.
He gave up all thoughts about food and began to control himself.
Breathing begins to become rapid.
Then--
He ripped off the backpack behind him.
In the backpack, there were ten knives from the "Ten Swordsmen". Jason's original plan was to taste them carefully after the battle was completely over.
But now, he really couldn't help it anymore.
In fact, after collecting ten 'famous knives', he endured hunger.
He believes that this is also a rare test of 'hunger'.
Just like the previous ‘wine gourd’.
But it's different.
When faced with the 'Soul Gourd', Jason can completely 'confront' it.
Because it was relatively safe then.
And now?
Still fighting!
In Jason's perception, there are at least three extremely powerful auras peeping here.
Not on him.
Just passing by.
Or, to be precise, these three lines of sight were all attracted to Uesugi's ancestral house.
Therefore, Jason took out a 'famous knife' and threw it into his mouth.
[Swallowing Yasuko’s small cutting blade (broken)]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are restored to an excess extent! 】
[Satiety +100]
【Satiety: 1231】
【Excitement of eating: +1】
【The excitement of eating: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 + tomatoes.
I don’t know when it will become a default standard.
It's like if you go to eat roast duck, you have to get a set of pancakes.
Jason didn't hate this default.
After all, it is in line with the taste of most people.
Of course, it would be even better if you add some of your own flavors.
So, the next moment, Jason took out another bag of black pepper.
French fries + tomato + black pepper.
Although the taste is strange, it is really delicious when paired with French fries.
First crispy, then sweet and sour, then slightly spicy and salty.
When it is finally blended, what appears on the taste buds again is the taste that potatoes should have.
Jason chewed heavily.
Not even the scabbard was spared.
However, there is no satiety, let alone the excitement of eating.
It's just tainted with the smell of 'food'.
Just like a packaging bag.
therefore--
Pooh.
Jason spit out the scabbard, took out the next knife, and stuffed it into his mouth.
[Swallowing Yasuko’s large cutting blade (broken)]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are restored to an excess extent! 】
[Satiety +150]
【Satiety: 1381】
【Excitement of eating: +1】
【The excitement of eating:3】
…
It still tastes like French fries.
But it is different from [Anzi Small Cutting Blade].
[Anzi small cutting blade] is for thin potatoes, [Anzi large cutting blade] is for thick potato chips.
Or wide fries to be precise.
Not as good as hash browns.
But each piece of potato meat is softer.
Without hesitation, Jason tore open two bags of sweet and spicy sauce.
Unlike the crispness of thin potatoes, the softness of thick potatoes is more suitable for sweet and spicy sauce - Jason thinks so.
It's soft at first, sweet for the first time, and spicy for the last time.
When the final spiciness begins, the next thick potato is already in your mouth.
Before I knew it, I had finished the bag of thick chips.
Place it here with Jason, and the blade will be completely digested before you know it.
After the two 'famous knives' were inserted into his belly, Jason's previously heavy breathing became slightly normal.
It's not that hunger has gone away.
For Jason's stomach, he is hungry at any time.
Two 'famous knives' can only give him some psychological satisfaction.
However, this is enough.
At least Jason can think more rationally.
"Every famous sword has the 'excitement of eating'?"
Jason looked at the text prompt in front of him and was completely surprised.
You know, he still has eight 'famous swords'.
If converted, it’s eight points of ‘eating excitement’.
Although Jason had great expectations for a real 'famous knife' before, until he actually ate it, he was still shocked by the profit from each 'famous knife'.
Of course, there was another point that made Jason doubtful.
"Why are all the 'famous swords' broken?"
This became even more apparent after Jason finished eating the remaining eight 'famous knives'.
Every 'famous sword' is broken.
The 'excitement of eating' is also present, just like the taste they exhibit.
Similarly, the satiety level began to skyrocket again——
【Satiety: 2321】
【The excitement of eating:11】
…
A 'breakage' can be considered an accident.
The two 'breakages' can also be considered a coincidence.
But what about five times or ten times?
"What happened that caused all these famous swords to become 'broken'?"
"There doesn't seem to be any problem on the outside, and it remains as sharp as it should be."
"So, is the inside... damaged?"
Jason thought.
However, there is too little information.
Jason couldn't really determine what happened.
After keeping this in mind, Jason began to face up to his harvest.
"2321 fullness, 11 points of excitement..."
"It should be enough...no, it's still a little bit worse."
Jason finally shook his head.
According to his plan, the next step is to naturally raise another core skill [War Pattern. Purus. Gryphon. Shadow Body Forging Technique] to the extraordinary level.
From the perspective of the past, 2321 points of satiety is enough.
But thinking about the accident during the promotion of [Protection from Evil] and the appearance of [Destroying Evil], Jason raised the satiety requirement slightly.
3000!
After you have 3000 satiety, then upgrade [War Pattern. Prussian. Griffin. Shadow Body Forging Technique]!
Of course, Jason had some other considerations.
[The Powerful Heavenly Dragon Method]!
Can the core inheritance of Tongshou Temple be integrated into [War Pattern, Prussia, Griffin, and Shadow Body Forging Technique]?
Jason has always tried this.
However, the satiety level was slightly low before, and he was unable to fully demonstrate his 'talent'.
Now?
It should be enough.
However, that will all happen later.
Now?
His eyes looked at the bushes not far away.
The gathering place of the Uesugi family not only maintains its original ancient style, but also grows 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, they appear well-proportioned.
It is obvious that such planting has been carefully arranged.
Under such an arrangement, two groups of people passing by on different paths, even if they are 4-5 meters apart, can't see each other as long as they don't make louder noises.
But, that's only for ordinary people.
For Jason.
His powerful perception, which is almost nine times higher than that of ordinary people, allows him to clearly detect the people around him.
Not to mention when someone looked at him with burning 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 openly.
Wearing a white swordsman uniform, he showed off his tall figure. His long black hair was combed into a high ponytail and fixed with a pure gold hairband, making him look extremely capable.
But his fox-like eyes add a sense of charm to his sophistication.
But the high and strong nose adds a dash of heroism to this charming look.
A very contradictory temperament, but it appears just right in a woman.
It makes the other party's already beautiful face become even more eye-catching.
Jason is no exception.
However, unlike what ordinary men would pay attention to, Jason was looking at the opponent's hands.
Those hands were white and slender.
Has an extraordinary taste.
Delicious food!
Jason narrowed his eyes.
When the woman who came out saw Jason's gaze, not only was she not disgusted, she actually laughed.
"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 become even brighter.
It even has a strange sweetness.
"You eat a knife?"
The woman asked.
"No."
"That's 'purification'."
Jason said simply.
It must have been seen. It was most likely that when the strong smell of food came out of the ancestral home, he was "inadvertent" in his perception when he was fighting hunger.
Jason had expected this.
Although he is no longer the same person, he is no longer so blindly obedient when it comes to 'hunger'.
However, if 100% control cannot be achieved, problems will arise.
Therefore, Jason had already made preparations.
"It is a secret method originating from overseas exorcists."
Jason emphasizes overseas and secrecy.
The 'inner world' and 'mysterious side' of the island are quite closed.
For most mysterious people overseas, they only know about it.
learn?
Maybe you know a little bit.
But definitely not too much.
Even if he understands it quite well, Jason's emphasis on "secretness" is just to deal with this.
However, the woman smiled and shook her head.
"How does the knife taste?"
The woman did not ask anything else, but instead asked about the taste of the 'famous sword'.
This made Jason, who was preparing his follow-up remarks, frown.
Why don't you act according to common sense?
Shouldn't we ask what his method was?
Why are you asking about the taste?
"It's 'purification'!"
Jason emphasized again.
"How does it taste?"
The woman asked again.
Moreover, this time, after the woman finished speaking, she asked Jason in a more serious tone: "Are your perfunctory words worthy of the taste you taste? Are they worthy of those 'foods'?"
"Still..."
"You can use 'food' as an oath and tell me it's 'purification'?"
Ask!
Jason was speechless.
If it was about other aspects, Jason wouldn't mind lying.
For Jason, who lives in the "city that never sleeps", lying like this is really commonplace.
It just came out of my mouth.
But when using ‘food’ as an excuse…
He couldn't speak.
That is a fact that cannot be spoken after persistence.
Everyone insists on something.
Some are responsibilities, and some are justice in the heart.
Others are simply ‘love’ for family and friends.
But Jason is different.
His is the 'love' of 'food'.
It is a love that comes from the bottom of my heart.
Facing this love.
Jason couldn't ignore it.
You can't even use lies as a cover-up.
Not to mention using it as an excuse.
If you do that, it's an insult to 'food'.
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, and her eyes became crescent 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 simply a trap.
However, when the 'famous sword' landed, nothing happened.
Jason looked at the woman in confusion.
"My treat."
As the woman spoke, she pulled out the 'famous knife' in her hand, inserted it into her mouth, and started chewing it.
Jason was stunned by this scene.
Besides him, is there anyone else who takes the knife?
Jason's stunned expression made Cao Bi Lei extremely satisfied.
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 takes the knife?
Cao Bi Lei is a taboo in the Cao Bi family.
Not only because of her rebellion, but also because of the taboo techniques she learned.
‘Knife-eating technique’!
A secret technique that consumes the "famous sword" to gain strength.
This is an extremely terrifying secret technique.
It requires not only strong talent, but also steel-like willpower and a long time.
Especially talent!
It is truly one of a kind!
From the Warring States Period until now, the Caobi family has records that the only one who can learn the 'Knife-Eating Technique', apart from the original creator, is Caobi Lei.
There is no doubt that the 'Knife-Eating Technique' gave Caobi Lei great power.
It can even be called terrifying.
But this kind of power also makes her become a different kind of person.
Not human.
Not a monster.
Not a ghost.
Not a shikigami.
Totally alien.
Cao BiLei, who betrayed her family, had been looking for similar people for a long time.
Because she firmly believes that she is not alone.
But in the end she was disappointed.
She is just a person.
She tried every method, but to no avail.
She even found people with strong talents to learn the 'Knife-Eating Technique' together.
None succeeded.
Even those who are true swordsmen are the same.
In the end, they all exploded and died.
So, when she accidentally saw Jason swallowing the 'Famous Knife'.
She was stunned.
She, who had been deeply disappointed for a long time, suddenly saw hope, just like seeing light when she looked up in the abyss.
Suddenly, she changed her plan.
After throwing the knocked out Kakizaki, Amakasu, Usami, and Naoe there, she quickly killed the other two infiltrators, and then went to find Jason with the opponent's 'famous sword'.
She saw the same kind.
She wanted to see it with her own eyes.
She wanted to make sure that what she saw was real.
Therefore, after chewing the 'Famous Knife', she looked at Jason without blinking and said -
