CHAPTER XXI
"Hey, here, it's 12,040 yen in total."
"Here you go."
After the taxi arrived at the Sunset Shrine, Jona paid the fare and climbed the steps. The shrine was empty, and there was no incense as the last time I came, and it was so deserted that only the crows that landed on the eaves crowed from time to time.
Jona walked into the shrine and saw a very old man sweeping the floor inside, probably the god here. His eyebrows almost covered most of his eyes, and when he saw Joanna come in, he stopped sweeping the floor and looked at Jona.
"Is there anything wrong, little girl...... Hey, students should be in school at this time, right? ”
The god looked at her suspiciously, and Jona was a little embarrassed, but she still asked as if nothing had happened, "That's the case, I have something to come to Kagome, is she there?" ”
"Uh...... Kagome. When Kagome was asked, the Divine Lord's gaze suddenly dodged, and he said uncomfortably, "Kagome...... She has some things to do, and she may not be able to come back for a while. ”
"Okay, I got it."
Jona immediately understood what was going on, the god may not know that there were other people who also knew about the bone-eating well in the shrine, so he dodged the question and didn't tell her the truth, but Jona knew that Kagome must still be in the Sengoku period and didn't come back.
That's better.
With a little excitement, Jona ran to the convenience store near the shrine, bought some drinks and snacks and stuffed them into her bag, and as if she was about to go on a hike, she returned to the shrine's bone-eating well and carefully jumped into it.
After crawling out of the bone-eating well, I saw the same scene as the last time.
However, unlike before, there are no monsters around.
Jona was in a happy mood, couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, hummed softly and spun around, and then released the stand-in Mori Green Daughter.
Kagome and their affairs are not in a hurry, they can go to her at any time, and the most important thing now is -
The green leaves that feed the lives in the forest green, please tell her where the killing pill is.
She began to listen to the sounds of the plants, and all sorts of voices entered her ears, and the grasses, the branches and leaves, exchanged information, and whispered softly. Suddenly, however, a distant forest sent her an important message, and in their forest, a youkai was found that matched Jona's description.
However, the youkai seemed to have been mortally wounded by Yan Zòng and was already dying.
[Its vitality is tenacious, but if it encounters an enemy at this time, even the lowest youkai can kill it. 】
The forests truthfully told Jona all the information.
This...... How could it be!
After hearing the news, Jona suddenly became anxious again, which was different from the tangled feeling that she had when she heard about the rumors that Sesshomaru had died after being with humans, and she was completely nervous.
Although I don't know what's going on, I still have to hurry up and find Sesshomaru and stop time first...... And then help him heal! That's it!
"That forest is 167 kilometers away."
The information provided by the daughter of the forest green through the guò plant gives the exact distance, "The route has been clear, but the traffic in this era is not favorable, and it is judged that it will take 3-5 days to reach the forest on foot. ”
"If you get there in 3-5 days...... Maybe he's dead. Joanna bit her finger with a sad face, without arrows, the daughter of the green forest can't evolve into the form of the soul song, in that case, she can't fly, is there a better way......
"You can try that fragment of the Jade of the Four Souls." The Mori Green Daughter continued, "I feel a special power surging inside, and you can try implanting it in me. ”
The Jade of the Four Souls?
That's right, the monsters want to get this fragment of the jade of the four souls, according to common sense, it must be able to increase its strength, if it can strengthen the stand-in, it doesn't need to evolve into the form of the soul song after implanting the golden arrow, as long as it can fly, it is enough.
However, Jona always had an uneasy feeling that the strength of the stand-in would change according to the person's mental power, but the Jade of the Four Souls was something that the monsters needed, and she was not sure what the results would be.
But......
If left unchecked, will Sesshomaru still survive?
She didn't fully believe what the monster head said, it was very likely that she said it deliberately to make her lose her guard, and in fact, it couldn't prove the specific cause of Sesshomaru's death, if she died at this time, there would be no Sesshomaru again in the future......
Tut......
Qiao Na pinched the fragment of the jade of the four souls that she felt in her pocket, and finally took it out, I don't know what will happen, but you can try it.
She carefully placed the shard into the chest of the Mori Green Daughter.
The moment the glowing shard entered the substitute's body, Jona also felt a strong burning sensation in her chest, as if she had swallowed a bottle of sake in one gulp. She almost couldn't stand still, she couldn't help but squat down, looked up with difficulty, and found that the daughter of the forest girl began to change, her body was twice as large as usual, and her original legs became eight scattered tentacles, looking like a demon, very terrifying.
Jona looked at her avatar in amazement, and the daughter of the forest green slowly floated into the air, spreading her limbs and examining her surroundings.
"I feel empowered...... I've gotten stronger. ”
The voice sounded thicker than usual, and Joanna had a faint sense of foreboding, but she couldn't tell what was wrong...... It seems that she can't control her own stand-in anymore, and the daughter of Mori Green has become different from before.
"So let's go to the forest where Sesshomaru is?"
Joanna asked tentatively why, even though it was her own stand-in, it made people feel uneasy.
The Mori Green Girl, who was floating in the air, slowly turned around, I don't know if it was an illusion, it seemed to react much slower than usual, and replied leisurely, "Okay, let's go." ”
Probably an illusion...... So Jona suppressed her inner turmoil and entered the flight path with the Daughter of the Forest.
However, Jona gradually realized that she really couldn't directly control the stand-in, although the daughter of the forest green was strengthened after being inlaid with the jade of the four souls, but she always felt strange there, her eight tentacles seemed to want to capture something, and kept stretching around as she flew.
It's a bit worrying...... When you return after the treatment is completed, you can quickly remove the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls.
It's going to be given to Kagome anyway.
Jona made a decision in her mind, and she looked at the villages and mountains that flashed below with a little confusion, feeling as if she was on a Shinkansen, and the speed was satisfying. After more than an hour, the Mori Green Daughter and her finally landed in a slightly barren mountain forest.
Good...... Let's just search for Sesshomaru.
She glanced at the Mori Green Daughter, her double still floating in the air, looking for something.
Jona couldn't control her for the time being, and her mood was a little nervous at this time. The thought of meeting the big monster soon, she shrank a little.
What to say? No...... It's better not to say anything.
Wait for the treatment to be completed and withdraw quickly, and take a group photo if you can...... No, it's better not to be spotted......
Jona was planning what she should do, but at this time, she suddenly felt that something was not quite right in the surrounding scene, something was changing, she quickly came back to her senses, and suddenly found that the originally ordinary forest around her had grown a bunch of attacking demon plants that she had never even seen.
"What's going on?!"
She subconsciously wanted to control the daughter of the green forest, but she realized that this should be her stand-in, so at the same time, something seemed to bulge under her feet, and Jona hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the bulging position, and in the next second, a huge man-eating flower suddenly grew on the ground, letting out a piercing and long, beast-like scream.
“……!!”
The rapidly growing giant Demon Cannibal Flower was attracted to the living thing, and it bent down in front of Joanna, as if to smell her scent. A few drops of saliva dripped from the huge mouthparts, and when they fell to the ground, they made the sound of strong acid melting objects.
However, the Demon Plants cultivated by the Daughter of the Green Tree would not attack her, and soon the Demon Flower gave up on Jona, and instead spun its stem and tube rapidly, and pounced on a frightened deer that was about to run away, and the poor deer was swallowed by it before it could run away.
"......" Jona stood for a few seconds, and finally looked stiffly at the daughter of the green forest floating in the air.
"Hey...... Stop it. ”
And the daughter of the forest green seemed to be completely uncontrollable, slowly lowered her head and looked at Jona.
"Why?"
"That's what I'm going to ask...... What is this doing? ”
Her stand-in seems to have a more independent personality...... It's completely out of control.
"They're evolving." The Daughter of the Forest Green slowly looked away from Jona, and said in a deep voice without emotion, "Soon, all living beings in this forest will evolve equally except for plants, and eventually become one. ”
At the same time as the daughter of the forest green spoke, a bird that escaped in the air suddenly changed rapidly, and the bird that had been ordinary turned into a strange flower and fell in just a few seconds, and the daughter of the forest green ignored Jona and began to move towards the forest.
"Hey! Who made you do that?! I've said it's all stopped! ”
Out of control......!!
"That's impossible."
The Daughter of the Green Mori walked slowly, turning the surrounding forests into a creepy demon realm, "The youkai you love will also evolve into eternity together." ”
…………!!
It's because of the jade fragments of the four souls, and the daughter of the forest green is completely out of control at this moment. Jona didn't expect things to turn out like this, but now she can't stop her stand-in...... If you can dig up the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls, you should be able to stop the rampage.
"Stop!"
Jona rushes towards the Mori Green Daughter, only to find that no matter how much she chases, she will never be able to reach the Mori Green Daughter. Even if he won't be attacked, the surrounding forest has already begun to demonize a large area.
If this continues, don't talk about this mountain, you can't stop the whole of Japan from being finished...... This stand-in is her own spirit body, and the damage suffered by the stand-in will appear on herself, so the reverse is the same!
Without hesitation, Jona took out a knife from her pocket and dug into her chest.
