Chapter 003: If you chase it again, you will set fire to the mountain

The Remnant Eye's chamber is located in a hidden place in the middle of the woods in the wilderness.

When Yu Changsheng crawled out, he didn't see the girl.

The ground was damp, but there were no footprints.

Although it was a little weird, Yu Changsheng was still confident, she couldn't run away so easily.

With this curse of the pit father, tracking has become commonplace.

But it's a chore to protect someone in such a desperate way.

Yu Changsheng sometimes thinks that his curse is more appropriate to call it [Bodyguard Curse].

He pulled out the spell fan and swept it violently.

Wisps of black thread floated in the air, the remnants of the curse's breath.

This breath disappeared after an hour, and the place was deserted, apparently left by the girl.

She's not lying, she's a curse-bearer.

Yu Changsheng followed the black line and chased in that direction.

The girl is thin, but she can move the boulder, which shows that she has a lot of strength.

Walking without a seal, it seems that it will be a light work.

Obviously, it's not easy to deal with.

The dense forest is full of lacquer ink trees, as the name suggests, the bark is black, the tree is tall, the branches are luxuriant, it is the most characteristic plant in Mozhou. The tree body exudes fuel all year round and is an important strategic resource.

Half an hour later, Yu Changsheng was about to catch up with the girl and saw her figure from a distance.

Only then did I see that the girl was really an ordinary person, her movements were like a spirit ape in the forest, her figure was light, and she was flickering and jumping in the black forest.

Seeing the figure, Yu Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Continuing to pursue, Yu Changsheng accelerated, and the girl also accelerated, but the distance between the two could no longer be close.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Yu Changsheng can ensure her safety.

Suddenly, Yu Changsheng smelled a faint burning smell between his snorts.

After a while, the smell of burnt became stronger, thick black smoke appeared in front of his eyes, and the fire appeared almost instantaneously.

The girl's speed suddenly increased, and she scurried halfway up the mountain in the distance, and then the fire flickered like a golden flower blooming on a tree, and the fire became more and more intense, and the black oil on the bark crackled.

The flames grew larger and thicker, and so did the black smoke.

Yu Changsheng danced and walked away, under the strong wind, the fire was not close, but the smoke was not dispersed.

The branches of the trees fell straight down with the light of the fire, and were blown away by the wind that was fanned.

The black line was already indistinguishable in the thick smoke, and even the road could not be seen clearly.

In this way, Yu Changsheng still lost it.

That's not the worst, though.

With the cracking and exploding of branches, a strange whining sound came from the flames, and six oil-swallowing beasts burst out of the flames.

The Oil Eater is a medium-sized beast that inhabits sumac forests and feeds on black oil oozing from the bark of trees, as well as small beasts or monsters, and of course people when hungry or provoked.

The fur of the oil-swallowing beast is very thick, the fur is very hard, covered with a layer of black oil, the front paws are short, and the hind legs are long and strong. Their mouthparts are long, narrow, needle-shaped and have very sharp ends, which are usually inserted into the hard bark of the tree to absorb oil.

After poking into the prey, it can directly suck the internal organs and flesh into the abdomen.

At this time, the oil swallowing beast saw a fire burning in the forest, and instantly became furious, and the black oil on the fur was also ignited, which intensified its madness.

In front of Yu Changsheng, the two larger oil devouring beasts pounced first, kicked their legs violently, jumped into the air, and then turned their sharp beaks and thrust at Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng put away the spell fan, drew his knife to meet him, and the water knife slashed into the air, cutting off the mouthparts of an oil-swallowing beast.

The one behind him was already approaching, and the sharp mouth went straight into Yu Changsheng's heart.

Yu Changsheng dodged and kicked back, then held the knife in both hands, passed under his armpits, and bent backwards.

With a "pop", the blade was like a defeat on the body of the Oil Swallowing Beast, instantly piercing the Oil Swallowing Beast.

In normal times, seeing that the enemy was so fierce, the other oil devouring beasts would have already collapsed.

At this time, they were already homeless and foodless, and when they saw their companions being slaughtered, they were even more agitated, and at the same time surrounded Yu Changsheng.

With the help of friends, more oil-devouring beasts also gathered here.

They had already decided that Yu Changsheng was the culprit.

After all, the beasts also like to launch a culprit when they can't find it to quell the anger of the public.

The speed of these four oil swallowing beasts was extremely fast, Yu Changsheng's wrist flipped, and the water knife swirled and danced, turning faster and faster, and the sword shadow that rotated like a blue water dragon shuttled between the oil swallowing beasts, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the oil exploded.

Yu Changsheng looked at the Hokage gathered around him, and knew that something was wrong, so he shouted loudly and made a killing move:

"Shadow Water Dragon Dance!"

I saw the water knife in Yu Changsheng's hand come out of his hand, splitting into several blue points of light in mid-air, and then swept towards the Oil Devouring Beast like a meteor.

There were a few plopping sounds, like spring water falling into a pool, and blue points of light penetrated into the bodies of this group of oil-swallowing beasts.

Almost at the moment when they were about to insert their mouthparts into Yu Changsheng's body, all the small segments split by the water knife burst out.

The water jet reunited, like a water dragon flying, returned to Yu Changsheng's hands.

Yu Changsheng didn't have time to entangle with these desperate beasts, and ran wildly.

The knife slashed the flames, fanned through the black smoke, and Yu Changsheng ran all the way, finally crossing the hillside and rushing out of the lacquer forest.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

When Yu Changsheng came out, he was already gray and embarrassed, and he felt that his lungs were full of dust.

In the distance, the beasts of the lacquer forest have howled, and the flames are soaring into the sky, and the entire forest will soon be completely destroyed.

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, this little girl is indeed desperate, in order to escape, set fire to the mountain and exterminate the living beings.

The extermination of living beings will inevitably increase the power of the curse, and the girl will be killed by the curse, and now that she is doing this, is she not afraid that the curse will increase and the pain will increase?

Or is it that since you have already decided, you don't care about temporary suffering?

Yu Changsheng was puzzled.

For now, be sure to find her.

Yu Changsheng waved the spell fan again, and the wind rose, but the black line was gone.

Oops, lost it.

Yu Changsheng looked around and found that there was a higher mountain in the southwest.

After a while, Yu Changsheng climbed the mountain.

Looking down, you can see the dense forest and fields, and out of the burning lacquer forest, you can see the hillside.

From the hillside, there are three mountain trails to follow, each with different directions.

Yu Changsheng went up the mountain at this time, and there was no trace, and the other two roads were far apart.

You can only choose one or the other.

Looking down from here, a road twists and turns, and it seems that there is no one living along the road. The other road, smooth and smooth, with a town in the distance.

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, since this girl wanted to escape, there was a high probability that she would deliberately avoid herself.

In this case, the road to the town has a greater probability.

Yu Changsheng descended the slope, turned back the same way, and followed the mountain road to the town.

The journey went smoothly, but no black smoke was found.

After all, if you throw it too far, the black smoke may have disappeared.

There is a mountain villa outside the town, and there is a wine shop outside the mountain villa, Yu Changsheng came to the wine store and ordered a bottle of shochu and a chicken.

After a while, the wine in the cup was exhausted, the chicken bones were stacked, and after the wine and meal were full, Yu Changsheng picked up a cigarette.

As he was swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, a discordant voice came from his ears:

"No smoking, boy."

Yu Changsheng glanced at the old man's drinker and slowly paced two steps forward.

"And what about here?"

"No way!"

Yu Changsheng took another deep breath with some disappointment, took a few more steps, and asked tentatively:

"It's always okay here, right?"

"Of course not!"

The frustrated Yu Changsheng took a few more steps to the right, looking at the old winemaker innocently, and there was no hope for him.

"It's always okay here, right?"

The old winemaker scolded:

"Fuck off! Ask me when you're done drawing! X! ”
