Chapter 54: The Water Falls, and the Stone Emerges (Part 5)

"Wind God Fan!"

The tengu wind rushed through the narrow tunnels, ruthlessly tearing apart everything in its path. Even the concrete walls www.biquge.info scarred by its passage.

"Sister Wen, have you gone too far?"

Inu Xingchun looked at the scratches on the ceiling that were an inch deep with some anxiety, for fear that the old tunnel would be blown down by the wind. In that case, they'll be buried alive here.

"It's okay, it's okay, this place looks sturdy, nothing should be wrong. Wen grinned and gave such an ambiguous answer.

"It should be......" Tsubaki shook her head and said.

"Put this question aside for the time being, ...... Chun" Wen raised his hand, pointed ahead with a fan, and said, "The fish that slipped through the net will be handed over to you." ”

"Wrap it up on me!"

He walked forward with his knife and walked towards the black-clad monsters who had been torn all over by the wind and were only one breath away from death.

Of course, those "people" don't breathe, so the term "one breath is missing" is not appropriate. Strictly speaking, it should be said that it is "only one knife missing".

"Drink, ahhhh

The white wolf tengu raised his long knife and slashed down with a lot of rage. The guy who knelt in front of her, struggling to get up, was split in two vertically. The smooth incision is like a textbook cross-sectional diagram of the human body.

One enemy fell, but Tsubaki's offensive did not weaken in the slightest. She didn't even take off the shield she was carrying on her back, but held the hilt of her sword with both hands, and slashed frantically at the enemy in front of her, becoming more and more courageous.

Her face was distorted by the battle cry, and it looked a little hideous, the canines on both sides were uncovered, and her eyes had long since turned blood-red. This face looks very different from the cute little wolf girl she usually has.

"You're the one who really overdid it......" Wen looked at the red-eyed Chun, slapped the fan in his hand, and said to himself helplessly.

In the army, although he occasionally becomes a little aggressive, he is not a bloodthirsty person. I'm afraid that the case a few days ago gave her too much psychological pressure!

"Hey!"

Tsubaki stabbed the humanoid creature in front of him in the chest with a final stab, then kicked it off the blade. She was covered in blood, standing in the middle of a corpse, and looking around, there was nothing moving except for herself and Shotmaru.

"That's what it is...... The last one ......"

Chu panted and knelt on one knee, looking a little dazed. It was only now that she was starting to feel a little tired.

"yes, that's the last one, thank you. Wen stepped forward, wiped the blood stains on her cheeks with her hands, and said with a smile.

The two of them took a few more steps, found a spot where they couldn't smell the stench of corpses, sat down, and rested for a while, reserving some energy for the rest of the adventure.

As the text predicts, there is indeed such a hidden base in the depths of the Enchanted Forest.

It was a dark tunnel, hidden behind a large patch of dead wood. Although Wen never knew that there was such a strange building in Gensokyo, but the real thing was already in front of her, she couldn't say anything, so she went in.

Then, as she had expected, the two brave men were warmly welcomed, and they killed all the people who came up to greet them, and that's what Shotmaru and Inugo had been through so far.

"Sister Wen, have you rested?"

Tsubaki put the cleanly wiped broadsword back into its scabbard, stood up, and bowed his head to Shotimaru Fumi.

"I can do it at any time, but you, don't you sit down a little longer?"

"I've rested enough, and if I continue to rest, I may miss the opportunity to catch the main culprit, and it will be worth the loss. ”

"That's right...... Wen stood up with one hand, patted his skirt, and said, "Okay, then let's move on! ”

"Well, please. ”

There were no windows or lights in the tunnel, and it was pitch black with no fingers visible. Wen and Tsubaki relied on the night vision of the monster and barely saw the road ahead. Fortunately, there is no fork in the tunnel, and there is no room, so you just need to walk in a straight line, so you don't have to worry about getting lost.

Because of this, the more Wen Cai walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Strange to say, the two of them walked in the tunnel for hours, and from beginning to end there was a flat ground without a trace of slope, so flat that even if they poured urine on the ground, they couldn't leave. If this tunnel leads neither to heaven nor to hell, then where exactly does it end?

Wen couldn't tell where she was at all, and she didn't even know if she was still in Gensokyo. Because according to her calculations, the mileage the two of them have traveled here should have exceeded the diameter of the Enchanted Forest.

In other words, if they were heading straight north from the center of the Enchanted Forest, they would have walked out of the forest by now, crossed the Lake of Mist, and were almost at the door of the Western-style Pavilion. But the two of them were still in the tunnel, their feet still flat, and the road ahead was still straight.

Besides, there is such an extraordinarily large tunnel in Gensokyo, just across the ground, how can no one notice!

"It's a little strange, it's ...... here," Wen muttered quietly as he walked, "The length of this tunnel is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

"Indeed......," Tsubaki nodded, "How did such a building come to be?"

"I don't know," Wen Shun said with his fist hammering the concrete wall, "but I think there must be something ahead of this road." Just keep going and you'll find the answer. ”

"Now, we don't seem to have any other way but to move forward, right?"

"That's right......"

When they first came in, they were beaten by some enemies. Fighting was physically demanding, but it at least convinced them that they were in the right place. Walking in the dark for a long time like now, without even knowing where the end is, will only continue to drain their ambition and make them gradually begin to doubt their own judgment.

Fortunately, before they lost their fighting spirit, the tunnel had already conceded defeat.

"Wen, did you see that?"

"Ah, I see...... It's light!"

Moon rubbed his eyes to make sure there was nothing wrong with his eyesight. After walking in the dark for an unknown few hours, she finally saw the light again.

Although this light is very faint, since it appears in front of you, it means that the exit is not far away.

"Hey, hey!"

Wen couldn't help laughing, then spread his wings, waved his fan, and flew forward like the wind.

"I'll go first, Tsubaki!"

Her voice grew farther and farther away, until at last only countless echoes remained, echoing through the dark tunnel. And her figure has long been invisible.

"Wait a minute, Sister Wen!"

Seeing this, Chu quickly pulled his legs and chased after him. Her speed is relatively fast among the white wolf tengu, but after all, it still can't be compared to the crow tengu.

Therefore, she did not catch up, and it is impossible for her to catch up.

When she finally ran to the end of the tunnel, she didn't see the person who would have been standing there waiting for her in her imagination.

At the same time, she also realized that the "light" she had seen before was not actually sunlight or lights.

That is, the distorted realm of reality and illusion, emitting a ghostly light.

Tsubaki stood at the end of the tunnel, staring blankly at the "door" on the wall, unable to take half a step for a long time.
