The stream nourishes the land and nourishes the forest, and our village's drinking water is drawn from this branch. ”

Out of the cavern, a trickle flowed.

The water joins to form a mountain spring, which flows down the hillside to form a stream that runs through the small village.

Residents' drinking water, irrigation, and daily water are basically taken from this stream.

According to normal folklore, such a water source is indeed easy to be mythologized and become the belief of the villagers to protect and worship, and over time, perhaps some strange thing will survive here, and maybe it can really become a small god.

But.

Qiao Qiao's spiritual vision swept across the stream.

In the stream, there is a trace of yin qi that cannot be traced.

The closer you get to the cave, the higher the concentration of yin qi, but as the water flows down, the yin qi quickly dissipates, and when you reach the foot of the mountain, it is estimated that there is not much left.

This kind of water does not have much impact on human beings.

But since it is the body of the god of the mountains, it is very strange that there will be yin qi remaining.

"Can we go in and have a look?"

Qiao Qiao asked.

"Well, although under normal circumstances, ordinary villagers are not allowed to come in for the sake of protecting the water source and respecting the god of the mountains, but since it is the request of the Spirit Removal Master, then it is naturally no problem."

Kamijo nodded, lifted the rope slightly, and stepped into the hole.

Qiao Qiao and Ya Lizi glanced at each other and followed.

This is not a small cave, Qiao Qiao turned on the flashlight, where the light shone, there was no end of the cave, only dark darkness.

The lantern in Kamijo's hand also lit up, illuminating the nearby space.

Darkness is one of the most primitive human fears, especially when the three of them turn a few gentle corners, and the light outside behind them is completely invisible, a strange emotion that is free from reality emerges from the bottom of their hearts.

Qiao Qiao walked at the back, and the flashlight shone on the backs of Ya Lizi and Kamijo Yu.

"Here we are."

After walking in the cave for less than three minutes, or less, Kamijo slowed down slightly.

The cave also opened up.

It's a relatively large space, with no other pathways, and a permanent lamp is lit in the middle.

Behind the lamp, there is a peculiarly shaped rock.

The rock seems to be the product of being melted and then distorted by some external force and then rapidly cooled.

The shape is completely different from other rocks in nature, and it is full of madness and distortion that cannot be matched by human creation.

At the top of the cave, water drip onto the rocks and descend the uneven lines of the rock's surface to form small streams.

"This is the body of the god of the mountains."

Kamijo said.

Qiao Qiao took a light breath.

Just when ordinary people look at this stone, I am afraid that they will have a certain impact and impact on their spirits.

And in the vision, the stone is even more terrifying.

From the inside of the rock stretched countless crystalline sticky threads, which pierced the walls and stretched to infinity, and the threads naturally seeped into the water and melted in the water.

The core of the rock, a wriggling mixture of flesh and blood, is drawing strength from these threads.

There is no doubt that this is certainly not some mountain god, but weird.

Old Gods.

"Two soul slayers, I don't know what they found."

Kamijo asked softly.

She tilted her head.

No.

Kamijo's head rotates in a clockwise direction, turning the whole thing upside down.

Her limbs drooped as if they had lost momentum, and then they lifted again, but they lacked the texture of a living person, like a doll.

"Sure enough."

Qiao Qiao saw that there were several thin threads similar to the silk threads extending from the rocks on the body of the upper strip oak, extending upwards from her head, arms, and body.

"Spider silk."

Ariko whispered, and had already taken out the imperial coins that had been prepared long ago from the small bag she was carrying.

She remembered Qiao Qiao's analysis last night.

Whether the villagers have long been corrupted by the old gods, or whether the old gods have only recently revived, Kamijo Hiro, as a shrine maiden, has been fighting against the old gods.

The purpose of the Old God was to survive and break the seals, and for that, he needed to gain a lot of spiritual power.

Normally, the Old Gods who leak the seals will demagogue and develop believers.

And the curse of the mountain god is a rather tempting legend, enough to attract a soul slayer to investigate the situation.

Yes.

The more forbidden and mysterious things human beings are, the stronger their curiosity becomes.

For a soul slayer, it is very reasonable and normal for a soul slayer to encounter a mysterious village, meet a shrine maiden who is fighting against monsters, and explore the truth together.

However, it wasn't until they saw the mountain god's body that the soul slayers realized that they had already stepped into the spider's web trap.

"So, the people of the whole village, not the followers of the Old Gods, but the Old Gods themselves, disguise the tiny anomalies through larger anomalies, and this is the method of the Old Gods."

Qiao Qiao said.

If he hadn't been in contact with the Old Gods before. The world of wishes, then Qiao Qiao may not be able to understand so quickly.

In that world, while it seems that everything has nothing to do with anomalies, because of this, the anomaly index is even higher than hell.

The use of a large number of anomalies to disguise tiny anomalies, and the authority of the old gods to disguise humans, is exactly what is happening here.

All the people in the village, including Kamijo, were created by the old gods like marionettes, and they were part of the old gods themselves.

Create an event to attract the Soul Destroyer and kill the Soul Destroyer to gain spiritual power, here, is the trap of the Old Gods.

"But there's one thing you're thinking wrong."

Kamijo's voice was a little low, and there was a smile on his inverted head.

"It's not a trap here."

"It's my very existence."

Outside the cave.

If anyone looks at this place, they will be surprised to find a huge spider looming in the middle of this foothill.

The spider's eight legs were thick and dark, covered with hard, dense hair.

The spider's eight eyes, like human pupils, are snooping around.

On the spider's body, countless human faces make up the main part, and they constantly wail.

Not only the entire Pingye Village, but also the cave where Qiao Qiao and others were, and the nearby mountains and forests, are all part of the spiders.

The reason why the house is very warm at night is because Qiao Qiao and Ya Lizi are in the body of a spider.

"You're in my body now, hehe, if you can eat the two of you, maybe you'll be able to break the seal even further."

Kamijo's voice is cold and light.

"Has it come to this point?"

Ariko muttered to herself in a low voice.

This old god is no longer as simple as loosening the seal, at least about thirty percent of the seals have been opened, which is why the old god still exists so close to Tokyo and no one notices it.

His control over memes and messages has caused most humans to ignore their existence, and dead humans and Soul Removers here have been tampered with in a targeted manner, making Weeknight Village always attract other Soul Removers.

It is possible that some soul exorcists who died by accident actually died here, but it is not known.

Compared to the other old gods who will make a big fuss as soon as they come out of the seal.

This one is noticeably smarter.

Merely.

"Is it in the body...... That's just right. ”

Qiao Qiao looked at the phone time.
