Midsummer is the hot and dry season, and at this time, people who act outside can best understand the malice of nature, but fortunately, the red barbarian is a powerful monster that has crossed the threshold of the big monster, and will not be afraid of such heat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even though the scenery outside was distorted by the heat, she still wore a heavy cloak and wrapped herself tightly.

She stepped on the sandy earth, sinking deep without force, her red eyes staring into the distance with a thoughtful look.

"The land here is really dead to death."

She shook her head and sighed, and it didn't take much effort to pull her leg out of the sand, and with a slight shake, the yellow sand slipped off her sock and returned to the embrace of the earth.

This is the most desolate place in Gensokyo.

Since the Great War 500 years ago, it has been devoid of vegetation, as if it was cursed, and no matter what kind of life appears here, it will continue to lose its vitality.

At the beginning, the monster sage thought about developing this place, and transplanted a lot of monster cherry trees for this purpose, but even the monster sakura, who was the best at purifying the land and making the land fertile, finally fell under the curse of this land, and all of them died, and none of them fell.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the curse here doesn't spread. The unrelated mound and the outside world form a clear dividing line, and the line is a pile of yellow sand, dead and boring undestined mound; Beyond the line is the vibrant world of Gensokyo.

Red Manqi used to feel that the Missing Tomb was like a desert outside, devouring life all the time, burying time, and eventually turning into a place of death.

And when she came here again after five years of absence from Gensokyo, this feeling did not fade, but continued to deepen.

Now, the Wuyuan Tomb in front of her is even more desolate than five years ago, and the yellow sand is carried up by the wind, like a layer of dim yellow mist, covering the entire Wuyuan Tomb. The boring and monotonous rocks are gone, replaced by sand dunes of different heights, which are like tombs, decorating the whole grave with more and more lifelessness.

Even the scavengers who used to come here to shop for treasures and pick up items that had infiltrated from the outside world were now gone, and it seemed that their sixth sense had come into play and sensed the danger here.

There is only one monster in a radius of 100 meters, and she is alone, only accompanied by yellow sand.

"Shadow Wolf, this guy has run away with Acuchimaru again, and I don't know where he ran away."

Chi Manqi complained dissatisfiedly.

Originally, according to the arrangement of the Eight Nine Temple, it should have been the three big monsters of Shadow Wolf, Needle Miaomaru, and Red Barbarian Qi acting at the same time. Relying on the tacit understanding cultivated by years of getting along, they are able to resist the attack of the peak monster when they advance and retreat together.

It's just that Chi Manqi never expected that the shadow wolf would use the excuse of going to the toilet to leave her alone and run away.

There is only one of the three big monsters left, and even if the Red Barbarian Qi is powerful, it is difficult to support it alone, and it becomes difficult to search this place alone.

However, she is not a monster who will give up easily, she has seen the unreliability of the shadow wolf many times, and she has been prepared for it a long time ago.

Through the kick just now, Chi Manqi knew that the land here was not solid, so he did not choose to walk, but used flying to go deep into the Missing Tomb.

She had been monitoring this place five years ago, and had seen countless black shadows moving here, as if a hundred ghosts were walking at night, and demons were dancing wildly, and at that time, even if she was as bold as her, she only dared to observe on the periphery, never going deeper.

So when the Eighty-Nine Temple ordered her to look for changes in Gensokyo, she came here at her first stop.

And the unfortunate mound did not live up to her expectations, and earth-shaking changes have taken place.

The black shadows that used to fill almost the entire Missing Grave are now all gone, as if they had never appeared, and now all that the Red Barbarians can see is sand except sand.

Luckily, her eyesight surpassed that of the falcon, and she finally found some clues on some inconspicuous sand dune by constantly scanning and glancing.

She picked up the half-exposed blade fragments from the sand, a powerful weapon that had reached the level of a treasure and could easily kill youkai, but now it had lost all its strength and degenerated into a mortal, lying quietly on the sand dunes without a mound.

With a slight touch, the blade fragments were replaced with flying ashes and disappeared into the yellow sand.

"It looks like there was a terrible battle here, and even such a sharp weapon is not immune."

"Judging from the smell attached to it, the knife wielder should be using spiritual power, which is somewhat feminine, like the spiritual power of human cultivation."

Chi Manqi's sense is very keen, although it is not as good as the Eight or Nine Temple, but it also belongs to the top category of Gensokyo, just by touching the broken blade with her fingertips, she can get a lot of information from it.

Next, in the vast unfathomed mound, she found many traces of battle one after another.

Broken golden arrowheads, shattered immortal shields, bloody silver bullets, and half-melted purple spear tips.......

All kinds of normal and abnormal weapon fragments appeared in front of Chi Manqi, and it seemed that what she had entered now was not a lifeless tomb, but a huge ancient battlefield, full of tragic chaos.

Although Chi Manqi didn't see the scene of the battle, with the direct power fluctuations, she seemed to be able to think out of the scene at that time.

Countless warriors rushed at the invincible enemy with different weapons, and then all of them were killed on the land, their bodies swallowed by the yellow sand, and only the residue of their weapons remained.

Spiritual power, magic power, demonic power, all kinds of strange powers attached to these weapon fragments, at first Chi Manqi still had the mind to judge what kind of power this was, what kind of existence the user should be, but later, there were too many of them, and even she didn't bother to count and analyze them.

It's hard to imagine that when everyone in Gensokyo was swept away, it should be empty to the lonely Gensokyo, and there would be so many warriors.

If she expected it to be right, these weapons should have been left behind by those dark shadows.

"How did they avoid the fantasy tides?"

"And then how were they killed?"

This is the biggest doubt in Chi Manqi's heart.

Looks like this is where the boss said the change is......

"What people!"

The peeping gaze flashed behind her, and after realizing that she had been spied on, the red man turned sharply, but found no trace.

It was as if everything was just a delusion on her part.

=========

In the noisy and hot enchanted forest, black and white magic makes frogs fly through the forest with the sound of cicadas.

"Alice, Alice, something is wrong."

The sound of Marisha's wind and fire came from afar, and the surrounding birds, beasts, and monsters scattered in a hurry.

Alice, who was enjoying afternoon tea, did not get up from her chair, as if she was used to Marisa's fuss, and with a flick of her fingers, she manipulated the doll to open the door for her.

The black-and-white magician parked his broom at the door of Alice's bungalow, jumped down and got into Alice's room, and pointed behind him with a shocked expression.

"Alice's big deal, this guy is hurt."

This guy?

Alice, who finally raised her head, looked at the door, Rao was surprised this time after being tortured countless times by Marisa's unreliability.

The huge black bear was hanging behind Marisa's broom, and the two bear paws were holding on to the broom and did not dare to move, and there was endless horror in their eyes, as if they had witnessed the horror of an unlicensed driver drifting in Mt. Akina.

"Are you going to hunt bears? As a matter of course, I don't know how to cook bear's paws. ”

Hearing Alice's words, the bear outside wailed pitifully.

"No, Alice, look at its feet."

Seeing that Alice didn't grasp the point, Marisa sprang out of the door again, pointing to the black bear's legs.

Knowing this, Alice noticed that the huge black bear only had one left leg left, and the right leg was gone, and the blood kept flowing down the wound.

"Isn't it just a very ordinary monster hunting beasts, or beasts fighting each other?"

Although Alice had gotten up and walked to Marisa's side, she still didn't have the energy to complain about the hot season because of her annoying heat.

Sure enough, she still doesn't like summer.

"No, no, Alice, look closely, the break here is very neat, not a monster's claws or mouths can be made."

In Gensokyo, powerful youkai disdain to kill animals, ordinary youkai will hunt with their own claws, and only humans will borrow the power of weapons to hunt animals.

It's just that humans don't make a fuss about catching animals, and Marisa, who was born in the human world, shouldn't feel strange about this.

Alice, who finally sensed that something was wrong, covered the sunlight in front of her with her hand, bent down, and took a closer look.

The black bear's wound smelled of medicine, and it looked like Marisa had medicated it, but it was still bleeding and showed no signs of healing.

"I've used the best medicine Rinnosuke gave me, but this guy's bleeding can't be stopped."

While Marisa was speaking, a pool of blood had accumulated under the bear's body, and if it weren't for the large animal, it might have died of blood loss.

Is there no way to heal the wound caused?

Alice got up, held her chin and pondered, Gensokyo has such a weapon?

The guy with such a weapon is still idle and has nothing to do, hurting a weak black bear?

All kinds of irrationality are superimposed on everything, revealing a strange aura, and Alice seems to feel the signs of a change.

But when she looked up, she was frightened by Marisa. I don't know when, Marisa actually stuck to her, staring at her wide-eyed, and could feel the other person's breathing deeply.

"Wait, Alice, something seems wrong with you, too."

Five years have made Marisa a lot taller as a human, but it can't make Alice, who is a magician, change the slightest bit.

Alice's short blonde hair is still delicate and gorgeous, highlighting her nobility, her fair skin is as smooth as jade, and her azure eyes are like ice in a deep pool, reflecting Marisa's figure. Her whole person looks more delicate than a doll, and can only be described as perfect, as before.

That's how it was supposed to be.

But looking at her friend's familiar appearance, Marisa felt a sense of disobedience, and always felt that something had changed in Alice, but because she was not careful enough, she couldn't find it.

After a few seconds of brain shutdown, Alice finally reacted, her face turned red, her breathing became a little rapid, and she pushed Marisa away.

"I guess it's your delusion."
