Late at night, the Ezo people put large quantities of jerky at the entrance to the forest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The adults skewered the jerky and kept grilling, and after a while, there was a burst of meat aroma.

The children picked up their fans and fanned the wind continuously, and the smell of meat soon spread throughout the forest.

The boy kept a close eye on the movements in the forest.

Looking into the depths of the forest, where there was still no movement, the boy encouraged the people, "Everyone, please work harder!" ”

Due to the frequent haunts of hungry ghosts recently, even the usually ferocious beasts do not dare to go out at will.

Of course, it is not excluded that there will be a guy who is hungry and faint, and he will be greeted by the young man's black knife.

The forest still didn't seem to move, but the boy could feel the filth in the depths of the forest.

"I'm about to lose it......" the boy whispered.

After a while, when the whole forest was completely filled with the smell of meat.

The filthy aura in the forest finally couldn't be suppressed, and the young man, who felt the abnormality, immediately shouted at the people: "Everyone hide! The Hungry Ghost is coming! ”

So the boy took the lead and climbed the cliff next to him nimbly, and the Ezo people on the side also followed the boy to climb the cliff.

Everyone leaned down and looked intently into the depths of the forest.

The forest still didn't seem to move, but the boy felt the filth getting closer.

After a while, the head of a hungry ghost popped out of the forest.

"Gaga...... Ga ......" The disgusting strange scream sounded, and it was a strange cry that the boy could never forget for the rest of his life.

The young man's right hand gripped the hilt of the black knife so hard that he almost pulled out the knife and slashed the hungry ghost to death.

The hungry ghost looked left and right, and when he was sure that there was no one, he jumped out vigilantly.

Looking at the large pile of fragrant jerky in front of him, the hungry ghost excitedly pounced on it, grabbed the jerky and gnawed it.

The young man was still unmoved, he had dealt with the hungry ghost for so long, so naturally he would not be so reckless.

So the boy gestured to the Ezo man who was leaning behind him, signaling not to act rashly.

[There is also an ambush.] The young man lying on the cliff thought silently in his heart.

The boy was right, and after the hungry man had pretended to nibble on the jerky a few times, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he put down the jerky and screamed loudly into the forest.

With the roar of the hungry ghost, a dozen hungry ghosts popped up from the forest, laughing and pounced on the large pile of jerky.

The bearded man couldn't hold it back, and his hand involuntarily reached for the bow and arrow behind his back to shoot.

The boy pressed the bearded man's hand and said softly, "Wait a little longer......"

Looking at the hungry ghosts who had already begun to eat jerky, the boy still felt that these guys were playing tricks.

After a while, the hungry ghosts who were eating the jerky suddenly stopped eating and shouted loudly to the sky at the same time.

The strange cries of a dozen hungry ghosts suddenly sounded in the quiet of the night, causing everyone present to shiver

Even the people who were leaning on the cliffs, far away from the hungry ghosts, were frightened by the strange screams of the hungry ghosts, and they had goosebumps all over their bodies.

Especially the boy, he heard a lot from the roar.

"Fortunately, I didn't ......go out rashly just now," the young man secretly pinched a cold sweat.

In the depths of the dark forest, countless green points of light suddenly lit up.

Those are the eyes of a hungry ghost, and the boy will not admit it.

A large number of hungry ghosts came out one after another, and the boy was shocked by the number.

"How can there be so many!"

There are hundreds of hungry ghosts!

Hundreds of hungry ghosts were heading towards the source of the fragrance, and even the lowest-level demons were terrifying in their gathering and exuding demonic energy.

[Wait...... It's not within range yet......] The boy secretly calculated the range of the attack in his mind.

Finally, the hungry ghosts couldn't take it anymore and threw themselves at the large amount of food with a smirk.

At this moment, it is the time when the hungry ghosts are completely defenseless!

It's the perfect time! The young man immediately roared, "It's now! Everybody Attack!! ”

The boy's roar spread throughout the forest, startling the hungry ghosts who were about to eat!

"Gah?" A hungry ghost looked at the cliff in panic, and then a fast-flying arrow exploded its head, and its brains and shattered ** sky flew away.

The hungry hordes panicked as they watched the countless arrows that almost covered the night sky flying towards them, and they realized that they had been ambushed.

"Ahhhh The bearded man angrily pulled his longbow and shot the arrow, instantly blasting the head of a hungry ghost.

With the boy's roar, the battle was ignited in an instant!

The unity of the Ezo people is vividly expressed at this moment! There is only one thought in the hearts of all Ezo people - to kill the hungry ghosts and protect the Ezo people!

The young and strong Ezo man keeps pulling his longbow and pouring arrows into the crowd of hungry ghosts! The women kept handing the men arrows while making them on the spot!

Even the children who had no fighting power lifted the stone and threw it at the hungry ghosts!

The boy who was infected by this atmosphere also picked up an unwound longbow from the ground, stepped on the bow with his foot, and then pulled the string hard to wrap around the longbow, and wound it with his bare hands on the spot!

Then the boy took the arrow and put it on his longbow and aimed it at the hungry man who was screaming the loudest.

"Whew" "Puff"

The hungry ghost's head was completely knocked away by the huge penetrating force, and it was nailed to the tree, causing the cowardly hungry ghosts around to flee in all directions with a scream.

Every second, a large number of Hungry Ghosts are shot, only to be filled by more Hungry Ghosts the next.

Now it seems that the Ezo clan has the absolute upper hand, and the hungry ghost is so pressed that he can't stand up.

But the boy felt a strong sense of unease.

"That's too much...... Not right! The boy who continued to shoot with his longbow noticed that the number of hungry ghosts was unusual.

Before, Idara said that the number of hungry ghosts was about three or four hundred, but now the momentum is at least thousand!

Kill one, and make up two. Far from decreasing, the number of hungry ghosts is increasing.

The manpower of the Ezo tribe was limited, and even under such fierce suppression, more and more hungry ghosts fled from the range and began to consciously approach the cliff where the young man was located.

Worst of all, the Ezo are running out of arrows. Once the arrows are depleted, the Ezo will lose their current suppressive power.

What awaits the Ezo will be the worst.

"Damn...... Hurry up and hand over the arrows! The bearded man shouted anxiously as he looked at the approaching hungry ghost.

This time the bearded man did not get a response, and he turned his head anxiously to see that it was already empty.

All the Ezo people had to be forced to accept the brutal fact that there were no arrows left.

The Ezo tribe, which was originally the suppression party, was instantly suppressed by the hungry ghost group.

"How, what to do! It's over! The arrows are gone," a somewhat desperate Ezo man looked at the approaching horde of hungry ghosts.

The bearded man knelt on the ground in pain: "Damn! Could it be that the Ezo tribe is really going to perish today! ”

As the hungry ghosts approached, the crowd became more and more desperate as they lost their means of attack

Looking at the crowd that had lost their morale, the teenager had to make an extremely bold decision.

“…… There is no way, there is only that. The boy got up and took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.

Idara on the side saw the boy take off his shirt and thought of a possibility: "Is it ......!" ”

"Hey!! Smoke-kun! Don't mess around!! Idara yelled at the boy.

But the boy didn't seem to hear Idara's shouts, and still walked forward steadfastly.

The boy's back muscles suddenly tense! In an instant, the boy changed from walking slowly to rushing!

The black knife was unsheathed in an instant, and the boy with his upper body naked jumped off the cliff!

Under the bright moon, the young man with the black knife flew towards the group of hungry ghosts like a demon, and the young man fell like a meteorite into the dense group of hungry ghosts.

The force of the impact caused the earth within three meters of the ground to crack and concave downward, and all the hungry ghosts in this range were crushed into meat sauce by the impact.

Stepping on the carpet of flesh and blood, the young man held a black knife and stared at the group of hungry ghosts approaching.

The demonic aura of thousands of hungry ghosts condensed together and pressed towards the boy like a frenzy, if ordinary people stood in front of such a terrifying group of hungry ghosts, it was already very brave if they were not frightened on the spot.

But in the face of such a terrifying group of hungry ghosts, the boy just raised his cold black knife.

The killing of a thousand began.

………………………………………………………………………………

The people on the cliff looked down at the situation below.

The ferocious group of hungry ghosts was forcibly stopped by the more violent teenagers, and the group of hungry ghosts suddenly stagnated like a frenzy.

A demon-like boy is constantly harvesting life in the hungry ghosts. In the group of hungry ghosts, a "vacuum layer" has formed within three meters of the teenager.

Everywhere the boy passed, there were corpses of hungry ghosts.

Dirty blood flowed like a river between the corpses of hungry ghosts, and the strong smell of blood could be clearly smelled even by everyone on the distant cliffs.

The terrifying sound of a black knife cutting through flesh and bones constantly sounded in the group of hungry ghosts, and each sound would leave several fragmented corpses of hungry ghosts.

No hungry ghost could get close to the boy, for they had already been smashed by the boy's black knife in advance.

Splashing of offal and minced flesh flew everywhere, and the boy was meticulously carrying out the task of harvesting his life.

"Ghost ...... What the hell!! At some point, a frightened cry came from the crowd of hungry ghosts.

"Gah! Help! ”

"Hell!"

There are more and more hungry ghosts who are frightened and lose their minds, and fear spreads like a plague among the hungry ghosts.

The hungry ghosts, already frightened, began to flee in frenzy.

Suddenly, the teenager who changed from passive to active was stunned and continued to catch up with the harvest of life.

Looking at the young man who was as terrifying as a ghost, the bearded man said unwillingly: "Damn...... Even an outsider can be so brave, and we Ezo can't be looked down upon! ”

The bearded man jerked out the machete at his waist and roared down the cliff to rush towards the fleeing group of hungry ghosts.

With the movements of the bearded man, one after another the Ezo warriors also jumped down, followed the leader of the bearded man, raised their machetes and roared towards the hungry ghosts.

The Ezo warriors who were stirred up by the boy have turned back into the Ezo people who were once brave and good at fighting!

The warriors of Ezo were no less brave than the boys, and they worked together to cut back the hungry ghosts who fled forward!

The front and back of the boys and Ezo warriors are entrapped, so that the hungry ghosts are attacked on their backs and stomachs, and the number of hungry ghosts who can still stand is decreasing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Three hours later.

When the bearded man's machete pierced through the last hungry ghost, all the hungry ghosts were surrounded and wiped out.

The three-hour battle exhausted all the Ezo warriors, but everyone felt a sense of joy and pride.

"We've won!" Everyone began to cheer! Cheers rang out throughout the forest!

The bearded man looked at the figure standing on the mountain of corpses with respectful gaze.

The boy won the approval of all the Ezo people, and at the same time, he was respected for his ghostly strength.

So what about the young man who is now standing on the mountain of corpses, carrying a black knife, and is as majestic as a demon?

The boy's tense body suddenly relaxed, lost all strength and collapsed limply.

No matter how strong the boy is, he is just a human being, not a real ghost and god, and the three-hour overload battle completely drained all the boy's strength.

The people of Ezo scrambled to catch the fallen teenager.

This battle between hungry ghosts and humans ended in a great victory for humans.

The people who had returned from the great victory carried the boy back to the village.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"I thank you on behalf of all my people." The patriarch bowed to the boy.

"Wow, wow, wow, patriarch, get up, I can't stand your worship!" The boy panicked and picked up the patriarch.

After the boy put on the charm, he was almost recovered, and as soon as he woke up, he saw the patriarch bowing to him.

The patriarch sincerely thanked the young man and said, "If it weren't for you, we would no longer exist now. From today onwards, you are a friend of our Ezo tribe. ”

"Don't be so polite...... Patriarch, who is this child? The boy looked at a four or five-year-old child sitting next to the patriarch and asked curiously.

"This child is my grandson, named Asshidaka. is the patriarch of the future. He admires your power to protect your people. The patriarch touched Asidaka's head and said.

The boy and the child looked at each other, and the boy could see in his eyes kindness and perseverance.

"Is Ashidaka (アシタカ) ...... [tomorrow]? What a good name. The boy rubbed Ashidaka's head and said with a smile.

Asidaka said firmly to the young man, "I will definitely protect the clansmen like Brother Yan!" ”

"Well, Ashidaka can do it!" The boy smiled and encouraged.

"Brother Smoke, you're here!" Mira's voice came in.

Mila was holding a set of blue clothes in her hand, and she explained to the boy, "Brother Smoke's clothes have been torn from the previous battle, this is a new set of clothes, please accept it!" ”

The boy took the clothes and thanked Mira, "Thank you, Mira. ”

Mira asked a little gloomily, "Won't Brother Smoke stay and sit for a while?" ”

"I'm sorry, Mira. I have important things to do, and I can't stay for long. The boy replied solemnly.

"That'...... Brother Smoke, please come back and see us when you are free! Mira said.

"Well, it will!"

The boy thanked everyone in the house, picked up his clothes and walked out of the house.

However, the boy met someone he didn't expect.

Granny Xi beckoned to the boy and motioned for him to come over.

The young man walked up to Granny Xi: "Granny Xi, is there something wrong?" ”

Granny Xi grabbed the boy's right hand, and it was then that the boy realized that the green leaf symbol on his right hand still existed.

"Your friend of the mountain god is still too young......" Granny Xi smiled and said disrespectful words to the gods, but Granny Xi didn't care at all about these heinous words.

"Granny Xi, may I ask ......" The young man was a little puzzled.

"Ah, this is the last gift I gave to the little hero." Granny Xi said kindly.

Granny Xi's hand brushed the boy's hand, and the green leaf sign on the boy's hand disappeared, and the boy felt that there was something more in his dark

"No matter how strong the blessing is, it is only the blessing of the [Mountain God], and it has no other effect except to suppress the [that thing] on your body. But what if the old woman and I secretly change the concept and change [Blessing of the Mountain God] to [Blessing of Nature]? ”

It is impossible for humans to do anything to the blessings of the gods.

"Granny Xi, are you ......" The young man vaguely guessed the identity of Granny Xi.

Granny Xi smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary old woman. ”

Only the higher gods could modify the blessings of the gods in this way.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The young man, who had already changed into the blue suit, continued his journey in the night.

Since receiving the "gift" from Granny Xi, the boy feels that the road is much easier than before.

Not only did the road become smoother, but the creatures of the forest also became friendly to the boys.

At least now there were several birds standing on the boy's shoulder, which was not possible in normal times.

Everything in the forest seemed to welcome the boy.

"Are you blessed by nature...... It feels good," the boy said with a smile.

"Huh...... That's ......"

In front of the young man, there were more than a dozen palm-sized white figures, and three large black dots on their faces made up their eyes and mouths.

These translucent, somewhat dull white little boys are recognized, this is one of the elves in the mountain [Dryad]

The boy had seen them several times before, and they all ran away automatically when they saw the boy, but today they came out to look at the boy.

"Hi~Hello~" The boy jokingly beckoned to the tree spirits.

The simple tree spirits looked at the young man for a moment, and actually learned the young man's movements, and beckoned to the young man.

The boy laughed heartily at the dryad's movements.

It's a nice feeling, close to nature......

The dryads beckoned to the boy again, and then nimbly ran in one direction.

"Lead the way?" The young man paused for a moment, then smiled.

The fireflies in the night also automatically gathered to provide lighting for the teenager.

Although he was walking alone, the boy felt that he was not alone, and everything in the forest was helping him.

The boy who has become friends with nature continues his journey, what awaits him?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It's been a long time since I've had the author's words. So I'll nag you a little bit more about gravity today.

In fact, the chapter you see now is a product of the second time, so why do you say the second time?

The first time I coded the more than 5,000 words and was about to click upload, something dramatic happened at that moment.

That's right, the blue screen (covering your face and crying).

So, I had to re-code it myself, and another three hours passed.

This leads to the charm of this chapter is not so strong, I'm really sorry!

But even if I'm tired like a dead dog, Gravity will make sure it's updated.

Because it's a responsibility to the reader......
