Chapter 44: Form

In the moonlight, the iron-colored skeleton sat in front of the cloister, the skeleton's mouth grinning as if it were laughing, the scene was extremely strange, but there was no sense of horror - maybe it was some kind of breath on the skeleton. To the beat of a song that only he knew, the skeletal samurai enjoyed the moonlight and rare peace, and his heart was free from obstacles, so he was safe and happy, even if he was a demon like this. Shaking the wine jug in his hand, Sen Luo only felt that the loss of a Four Soul Jade was nothing at all.

The skeletal warrior staggered to his feet after a while, with a spear in his hand, turned and left. Along the road, Sen Luo could perceive that the darkness was getting more and more polluted, and in this world, the peasants did not dare to come out of the village, they only dared to gather together, go to the fields together, go to the mountain pass to collect firewood, did not dare to enter the mountains at all, did not dare to leave the roads of the countryside, and would never go out at night.

All this is due to the darkness, during the day you can still see demons roaming in the mountains and wilderness, and at night it is the natural predators and the outside of the village is the world of these guys, the closer to the north, the more serious this situation is. It's not just the demons that are roaming, but even the original animals have mutated—the demonic energy and darkness that have spread from the Osorb Mountain have infected them. The weather was getting colder and colder, and Sen Luo didn't feel anything, he just walked forward step by step in the snow. There were no pedestrians on the main road long ago—a few days ago, there were no merchants on the main road that Moriro was passing through, and he was supposed to be on the busy Tokaido, where there should have been merchants all day long. But now, it's empty.

At this moment when darkness is rising and the Demon Sky King is coming, everyone who still wants to die no longer dares to leave the city and the village, and only the soldiers of the brigade led by the samurai dare to walk on the road during the day. Thanks to the desperate efforts of the city's samurai and soldiers, the city and some of the villages near the city were able to maintain a part of the inflow of external goods, mainly salt. Of course, this became a monopoly system, and not only the salt, but also the samurai made a fortune in it.

Sen Luo walked through a village and found it empty. Maybe they abandoned the fields and ran into the city together to become nomadic beggars, but maybe there was another option...... Senro walked to the entrance of the village in the bleak white sunlight. "I didn't expect this sunlight to be weakened by darkness, this dark cloud formed by the demonic energy in the sky....." The skeleton looked at the sun in the sky - this sun seemed a little dim, and through the clouds it could even be seen directly with the naked eye.

Whether it's the entrance to the village, or the houses that are still in shape, Sen Luo has already seen the clues. "These chaotic footprints and the cracks in the houses, are the clusters of demons attacking the village? Obviously, ordinary villages should be protected by shrines...... What kind of goblins can break the barrier and invade the village? And they took everyone away. It was at least three days ago to see this trace. There is a lot of bad luck. The skeletal warrior walked into the houses, and looking at the scattered furniture and the upside-down ashes in the rooms, he crouched down, and the skeleton's claws picked up a small doll carved from wood on the ground. The little doll is quite smooth, and it seems to be very popular with the little owner, and I am afraid that he holds it all the time.

Sen Luo's palm was spread out, and the little doll was turned over by him, and the skeletal warrior looked at the mark on the back of the wooden doll, as if it had been scratched by some sharp weapon, and said nothing. After a few moments, Senro's hand touched the flask hanging from his waist, and then he stood up and walked out of the house. In Sen Luo's eyes, there is a trace of demonic energy left on the ground, and these demonic qi will tell Sen Luo many, many things.

The skeletal samurai walked towards the outside of the village, and in front of him were the rolling mountains, and the samurai did not hesitate to walk towards one of them. There are no mountain paths at all, and even if there are, they are not traversable for humans. Sen Luo's eyes were bottomless, and in his eyes, the slightest trace of demonic energy was a mark. The skeletal warrior had walked for about half a day, and had gone deep into the mountain, and when he looked up, he saw a mountain of bare stones in the upper half of it. And on the top of this mountain, there are some birds flying around.

"This height, this size. Where else could there be any eagle vulture, it's a demon at all. Senluo's tone rang out, and he didn't bother with the flying things, but continued along the demonic aura. And after continuing on for more than half an hour, he saw the target—all the demonic energy flowing into the big black hole in front of him. There were bones scattered everywhere at the entrance of the cave - not just humans, but cows, horses, and other wild beasts, and there were quite a few of them.

Sen Luo walked past the bones, his steps stopped, and the skeletal warrior looked down at the human bones scattered in front of him. A soft sigh floated past him, and there were at least five or six human skeletons in front of him, and two of them knew at a glance that they were underage children, or even toddlers. "Above the battle array, the heart is like iron stone. It's just that the scene in front of me is still like falling into hell. The skeletal warrior finished speaking in a peculiar double tone and recited a Buddhist scripture. He then walked over the pile of bones and straight into the black cavern.

Even though Sen Luo no longer had a nose, he could still feel the fishy smell blowing from this black cave within his demonic perception. This is the breath of a beast, and this beast, Sen Luo already has a premonition in his heart. Sure enough, when he walked in, he was greeted by a gust of wind. The skeletal warrior raised his spear and blocked the blow diagonally, but he was blasted straight out of the cave. However, this was originally Sen Luo's tentative defense, so the skeletal warrior was unharmed, he rolled on the ground and vented the impact, and when he stood up again, he almost understood the strength of the other party-beast, and there would be no cunning thoughts, at least not the one he was currently facing.

A violent roar came from the cave, and Sen Luo just sneered and kicked a stone the size of a human head next to him, and the force made the stone shoot into the cave like a cannonball. The roar grew more and more violent, and with a fishy wind, the beasts of the cave rushed out. It was a bear, a very large bear, with a dark tiger stripe pattern on its fur, and it was not a crescent bear from Honshu Island, but a brown bear from Ezo.
