Yae Ji shook off the blood stains on the knife's body, his chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped like a bellows.

He relies on the blade to return, and can be called a pervert in terms of explosiveness, but the physical strength consumed by controlling Sakurabuki for a long time makes his endurance in battle average.

Finding a clean place, Yaeji sat down on the ground. Yae Sakura, who had been observing not far away, saw the end of the battle and immediately trotted over with Rin on her back.

"Brother?"

Yae Ji gasped a few more times, "I'm fine, you put Rin down and sit here." Let's see how those guys are doing. ”

"Hmm."

After Yae Sakura handed over her sister to her brother, she quickly came to the direction of those cavalrymen.

Yae Ji looked at Rin, saw Rin's little face pale, and couldn't help but say, "If you're afraid, close your eyes, don't force yourself." ”

"That'...... Is that a demon? Mother is ......"

Yaeji was silent for a while, and then let out a "hmm".

"Brother! Two of the five men died, and the remaining three fell into a coma, apparently with some wounds, and two horses with broken legs. ”

Yaeki took out the water bag from her backpack, took a sip, and handed it to Rin.

Rin shook her head, and Yae Ji took it back.

Got up, his legs trembling. The skull stabbing wolf demon just now can be said to be the most difficult monster he has ever encountered, if it weren't for the fact that his legs and feet were still a little numb at that time, he wouldn't have let the wolf demon jump in front of those people.

Walked up to Sakura's side and patted her on the shoulder with his hand, "Take care of Rin, I'll take care of the rest." ”

Sakura nodded and asked, "Do you want me to help them with the medicine?" ”

Yae Ji glanced at it casually, "No, it's all small abrasions, and if you break a bone, no matter how much you rub the medicine, it's useless." ”

Yae Ji first came to the unconscious young man's side, and after finding that the other party only had a broken arm and a few blood marks on his face and body, and there was not much damage, he was relieved.

The sound of the young man's roar is still vivid, although it was this Erwuzi who attracted the wolf demon, but at least he still has a conscience.

Dragged him under a big tree, Yae Ji went about his other work.

The horses, after panicking, stood in the area and did not run away, and it seemed that they were domesticated quite well.

The more daring ones also walked into the corpse of the wolf demon and sniffed it.

Yae Ji immediately threw it away, and the devil knows if the horse will be attracted to the youkai.

After disposing of the unconscious three people and the two dead corpses, Yae Ji pulled out Sakurabuki and began to attack the corpse of the bone spur wolf demon.

"Click~"

Use the back of the knife to smash the crystals on the monster's body, and then put it in the backpack.

"Four fragmented crystals? The two bloody wolf demons on the top are gone. ”

Yae Ji sighed twice, and no longer asked about the corpse of the bone spur wolf demon. There are almost no mountain beasts in this kind of dead forest, and it is unrealistic for him to drag the wolf demon to other places with his small body.

After dealing with the wolf demon, Yae Ji thought of one more thing.

The first confrontation between the two just now, although it was only a few seconds, the wolf demon still chose to attack the cavalry, indicating that there must be something good on that team of cavalry.

Something that can make a monster obsessed? Yae Ji thought of the strange crystal that Daisuke threw at him......

"They have it on them too?"

Yae Ji was puzzled, but he knew how powerful that thing was, and he made Daisuke look like a dying man.

But these cavalrymen don't look bad.

Yae Ji first touched the two corpses, but there was nothing but some coins from Shinano Province and one or two iron daggers.

Glancing at the unconscious boy and the short swordsman.

Yae Ji rubbed her hands together and stepped forward.

Yae Sakura and Yae Rin's eyes widened, and they looked at their brother's movements suspiciously.

Touch around.

Rin asked in a low voice, "Sister, brother, he won't ......"

Yae Sakura's eyes flickered, and it took a few seconds to find a suitable reason for her brother: "My brother saved them, it's not too much to collect some protection money, right?" ”

"Is that so?" Rin remained skeptical.

On the other hand, Yae Ji didn't care about the thoughts of the two little guys, he was just curious in his heart, wanting to see if that thing was what he guessed.

If it's really a strange crystal, it's better to destroy this kind of thing that can make monsters in batches. In case someone with a bad mind takes it...... That would be a disaster.

That's right, that's what Yae Ji thinks, and finds a righteous reason for his curiosity.

After touching it for a long time, I touched everything I could, except for tokens and belongings, there was nothing special about it.

"That's not right." Yae Ji glanced at the token of Takashi Castle, isn't this the big city closest to Yae Village? He vaguely heard the short swordsman call the boy "adult", and it seemed that this good man had a very high status in Long City.

Yaeji hurriedly stuffed back the tokens, belongings, and the like, and stood up and looked away.

Hit hard by the wolf demon, something may have been knocked away.

Yae Ji searched around the battlefield again, and finally found a black box.

Pulling the black box out of the ground and wiping the dirt from a corner, Yae Ji carefully examined it.

The box is not like a sword box that holds Sakurabuki's snow, the sword box is made of wood, this ...... It felt like metal, but Yae couldn't guess what kind of metal it was.

"Do you want to open it and have a look?" The thought swirled back and forth in Yaeji's mind.

Placing the black box on the ground, Yae Ji took two steps back, glanced at the three people who were still unconscious, and then pulled out Sakurabuki.

Swing the knife!

The unknown lock snapped.

Yaeki didn't move forward, but instead used the tip of Sakurabuki's knife against the black box.

"Hum~"

Small sounds are almost inaudible.

A crystal composed of dozens or even hundreds of pink cubes slowly rose, and the most central energy source was exuding energy that made Yae Ji fearful.

A faint purple intent covered the entire crystal, and from the shape, it was almost indistinguishable from the one among the great assistants.

But the crystal in the box is a little lighter, and Sakura Fuxue is not as excited as before, just moaning lightly, slightly interested.

"This crystal again? Why don't they control the monsters? Is there a secret in this? Some information flashed through Yaeji's mind, and the small hands that clenched the handle of the knife trembled slightly.

"Try again?" Yae Ji pressed down on the tip of Sakura's white knife, and at the moment when Sakura Fuki Snow was about to touch the crystal, Yae Ji hesitated again.

After absorbing that crystal last time, Sakurabuki Snow has become a little weaker, and if it is absorbed again......

Yae Ji struggled in his heart, and before he could be sure, Sakura Fukiyuki seemed to be impatient, and the sword body pressed down violently!

The tip of the Sakura White Knife is on the strange crystal!

Yae Ji took a deep breath and was about to cover her eyes to prevent direct exposure to the light.

Nothing happened......

"Tsk." In order to prevent accidents, Yae Ji put the knife into the sheath, and the spirit knife made a few noises in the scabbard, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Yae Ji's decision.

"It's weird."

Yaeji circled around the strange crystals, and his heart suddenly moved when he thought of the shattered crystals in his backpack.

......
