The monk wore a wide hat and buried his head low, so Ogata couldn't see the monk's face clearly.

It can only be seen by his size - the monk is not tall and thin.

And according to the voice just heard, this monk should not be very old.

Ogata didn't know where the monk came from, or whether he was friend or foe, but in such a situation, Ogata couldn't afford to think about it.

"Amachi! Bear with me a little longer! Sit tight! ”

After shouting at Amachi behind him, Ogata lifted the hands that had hooked Amachi's legs up again, and then rushed in the direction of the monk.

When the monk saw Ogata running towards him, he shouted:

"Follow me!"

After leaving this sentence, the monk turned his head and led Ogata and Amachi straight to the northwest.

The monk seemed to be familiar with the terrain and led the way without hesitation.

It didn't take long for him to see a wooded forest with more trees in front of him.

Looking at the dense forest in front of him, which he had been searching for for a long time, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, and said secretly in his heart:

- This guy...... Know the terrain and know where there are dense woods......

"Keep up!"

The monk in front of him slowly sped up as he said this to the two of them.

Without hesitation, the monk plunged headlong into the woods.

The monsters also rushed into the woods with Ogata and the monks.

The monk led Ogata through the woods in a strange way.

The monk did not rush straight forward, but in a very irregular path through the woods.

Bang!

Ogata heard a loud noise behind him.

After turning his head and looking behind him, he saw that several monsters had crashed straight into a large tree because they had not turned in time.

Based on the sound just now, it is not difficult to hear that the monsters hit hard.

In other words, if you are an ordinary person, you hit the tree so hard that you will not die but also be disabled.

But for those monsters, it only takes about 2 breaths to get back to normal.

This loud bang was just the beginning.

Gradually, the sound of "banging" against trees sounded more and more frequently behind Ogata.

- These monsters......

Ogata kept an eye on his rear and whispered in his heart.

- Aren't you good at sharp turns......

Because under the guidance of the monks, Ogata followed a very irregular route through the woods.

Therefore, the monsters that followed them closely behind had to follow them through this extremely irregular route through the woods.

And none of these monsters seem to be very good at turning.

Whenever Ogata and his party turn a corner, there are always some monsters that crash into a tree due to untimely turning.

Crashing into a tree at such a fast speed is naturally either dead or maimed.

Although these monsters can be resurrected indefinitely, it still takes a little time to resurrect.

And this time was enough for Ogata and his party to run far.

Gradually, more and more monsters are left behind.

The footsteps behind Ogata gradually faded in.

Ogata followed the monk through the woods for an unknown amount of time, and finally, there was no more footsteps chasing after him.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Ogata, who slowed down slowly, gasped for breath as he looked behind him.

Looking behind him, where no monsters were chasing after him, Ogata let out a sigh:

"Have you finally gotten rid of them...... It's dangerous......"

Ogata's phrase "It's really dangerous" comes from the bottom of my heart.

Ogata had seven knives with him at this time—two on his waist and five on his back.

He also carried an amachi on his back, and the weight of Achacha's iron cannon, the wakicha, and the pile of kunai also weighed on Ogata's body.

In addition, there are all kinds of miscellaneous items on the bodies of the two.

After running wildly for so long with so many heavy loads on his back, Ogata's physical strength was about to bottom out.

Before the physical strength is about to bottom, I have to say that I am really lucky to be able to get rid of all those monsters.

The Machi on Ogata's back is now also relieved.

Because getting rid of those monsters meant that she could finally free her already overworked bladder.

"I don't know who you are, though." Ogata turned his head and thanked the monk who had also stopped, "But thank you for your help." ”

"You're welcome. It's just a gesture. ”

With that, the monk turned slowly.

As the monk turned, Ogata's pupils shrank slightly in surprise.

Because this monk wears a very terrifying demon mask on his face.

The demon mask was so large that it covered the monk's entire face, revealing only one of his eyes.

When he first met the monk just now, the monk was wearing a wide hat and his head was bowed, so Ogata didn't see the monk's face clearly.

As the monk led them to shake off the monsters, Ogata couldn't see the monk's face even more because the monk was leading the way.

It wasn't until now that Ogata knew that the monk had been wearing such a scary mask on his face.

Ogata was only slightly startled by the monk's mask, so his reaction was relatively flat.

But that's not the case with Omachi on Ogata's back.

Amachi seems to be a "frightened physique".

After seeing the terrifying demon mask on the monk's face, he was directly frightened and exclaimed.

"Ah——! Hmmm......"

However, no sooner had this exclamation come out of Amachi's mouth than Amachi hurriedly raised his hands and covered his mouth.

At the same time, the cheeks quickly reddened and became hot at a rate visible to the naked eye.

When Ogata was about to ask what was wrong with Amachi, he suddenly felt a fever in his back......

Seem...... Something hot water was slowly pouring on his back......

Realizing what had happened, Ogata turned his stiff neck and cast a stunned, incredulous, and desperate gaze at Amachi behind him......

At this time, Amachi also buried his head deep in Ogata's back, and grabbed the clothes on Ogata's back with both hands, not daring to look at Ogata.

Although he couldn't see Amachi's face or expression now, Ogata could see that Amachi's ears were already red.

"I'm sorry...... I've really endured it to the very last minute with all my might......"

Omachi, who buried his face deep in Ogata's back, let out an apologetic sound like a mosquito humming.

“…… It's okay. ”

Ogata didn't let out a long sigh of helplessness, nor did he give any rebuke to Amachi.

Just smiled bitterly, and then comforted Amachi:

"It's just a small thing."

With that, Ogata silently took a few steps back from the monk on his back, away from the monk.

"Huh?" The monk wondered Ogata, "Why did this benefactor suddenly retreat?" ”

"Nothing." Ogata smiled at the monk that wasn't very pretty, "Leave us alone......"
