Chapter 6: Stiff?

"Vampire youkai?" While carving the woodcut in his hand, Mo looked at the man in front of him who begged for his will.

"Yes, Your Highness Mo." The man dressed as a samurai half-knelt on the ground, bowed his head and pleaded, "I beg you to help us!" ”

Mo sighed imperceptibly, for five years, as his reputation continued to expand, this kind of coming to the door became more and more frequent. It's not that I don't want to help, but if I have to do everything by myself, I'm tired and tired.

"To be clear, there are more man-eating monsters, and it's not a big deal to have one more or one less." Looking at the man in front of him on the way back after deliberately aiming at himself after defeating the monster, Mo's tone was somewhat unkind.

Sure enough, because of the so-called 'reputation' that came out before, there have been more and more people rubbing their noses and faces recently. Obviously, you only need to find a random exorcist who has achieved a small degree of cultivation to solve it, but you have to find your own head. He has never been a self-sacrificing saint...... Maybe...... Should I find a secluded place to retreat for a while? It's also annoying to be surrounded by a bunch of flies all day......

"Yes! I'm so sorry, but that's how it happened......" The middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly recounted what had happened......

Well...... Vampire Youkai ...... Initially only domestic animals were attacked...... Leaving a dried corpse behind...... The human form...... Samurai dress...... Infinite power...... Hehe, that's kind of interesting......

After listening to the other party's statement, Mo, who was originally not interested, was aroused by the monster in the other party's mouth. You know, he has been in this world for more than ten years, although he has encountered a lot of all kinds of monsters and monsters, but the strange thing is that the legendary necromancer has never encountered a monster.

It's not that the necromancers and ghosts don't exist at all, but it's rare to hear of those who can come out and harm humans, and I don't know if this kind of monster is more difficult to form or because the manager of the Yellow Springs of the Underworld is really so powerful because I don't know whether it exists or not? Anyway, he hadn't encountered a monster like a necromancy so far.

And now listening to the man's words, it made Mo think of another monster that has a deep relationship with the necromancy, zombies...... However, listening to this man's description, it seems that this 'zombie king' is a little 'different'......

……

"Is this the domestic animal that was attacked by that youkai?" Mo looked down at the shriveled corpse in front of him, judging from the shape, it should have been a common farming cow before his death, but unfortunately it is completely unformed now.

"Yes, it's not just this one, most of the livestock in the nearby villages have been hunted......" the other party said through gritted teeth, and there was a hint of irrepressible fear on his angry face.

However, it is also understandable that in this era of farming, any animal power can be said to be the place where the villagers live. Now that most of the livestock in the nearby villages have been hunted, Mo can already imagine the tragic situation of the village in the future.

"Is it just an attack on livestock? Didn't take the initiative to attack anyone? ”

"Uh...... This ......," the man who was questioned was stunned, "My lord, you may not know something. This monster is so hateful, it's ...... crippled."

"Answer my question."

“…… Be. This youkai only attacked domestic animals at first, and has never taken the initiative to attack people since then, but! ”

"Alright, I see." After saying that, Mo turned around and walked out of the village.

"Wait, Your Highness Mo, I beg you, if you continue to let this monster hunt continue, our village will ......"

The figure of Mo paused, and then continued to walk forward: "I didn't say that I wouldn't make a move, blood-sucking monsters, it's interesting...... The voice behind him was already faint

When everyone reacted, they found that the other party's figure had already disappeared from the end of sight. The people who stayed behind looked at each other for a long time, and finally someone spoke up, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

The man in the lead, who was also the middle-aged man who stopped Mo halfway, sighed, "What else can I do, I can only wait for the good news of His Highness Mo." ”

This...... After a commotion in the crowd, although they were still very uneasy, none of them spoke. Of course, what they are more worried about is not Mo's 'safety', but whether this 'His Highness Mo' can defeat this monster. After all, in a sense, this can be said to be a matter of life and death for the village.

"I've been passing by here occasionally, and I've heard that you seem to be in some trouble......" Suddenly, just as everyone was about to turn and leave, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded, "I wonder if I can help you?" ”

……

Walking in the forest, Mo seems to be aimless, but vaguely seems to follow a certain pattern.

The carcass of the ploughing cow just now seems to have been attacked less than a day ago. So it still leaves some breath and traces of the other party. Following these residual breaths and traces, it should be possible to find the hiding place of the other party.

However, it is a bit strange that it is just an attack on livestock. If the other party is really the kind of monster he imagined, then as long as it is a living being, it should attack indiscriminately. It is also strange that the village's guards had set a trap to try to hunt it down, and although it ended in complete failure, it was also strange that none of them were injured.

Coupled with the villagers' description of the appearance of the 'monster', if the other party is not able to attack humans because of some of their own taboos, then maybe ......

Got it! Mo stopped in front of a deep valley and looked at the narrow valley in front of him. It seems that because of the topography of the mountains, the haunting fog can be seen at the entrance of the valley. Just by standing at the mouth of the valley, you can feel the gusts of wind blowing in the valley, biting and cold.

The other party has found a good hiding place. In Mo's sight, the gusts of air blowing out of the valley were not only cold winds, but also mixed with countless yin qi and dead qi that were invisible to ordinary people. Ordinary people, let alone going deep inside, just staying here in Taniguchi for one night is estimated to be completely invaded by the Yin Qi and death qi and die.

Walking through the valley, the fog certainly can't block Mo's view. And in Mo's field of vision, the valley was full of terrifying scenes, countless dry bones, corpses, and all kinds of rusty and broken weapons......

It seems that there was a terrible fight here, but it was an ambush no matter how you look at it. With this special terrain, it's no wonder that the resentment here has never dissipated.

Looking at the dry bones in front of him, Mo shook his head, his previous estimate seemed to be wrong, and the other party had not found a good hiding place. More likely, this is where the other party comes from.

…… To be continued......
