Chapter Eighty-Six: The Snow Mountain Gets Lost and Breaks into the Demon Cave Alone
Between the peaks of the vast snow-capped mountains, a small black shadow moved rapidly among the white misty mountains.
It has been two days since Chen Xihao entered the summit area of the Daxue Mountains in the central volcanic group, and according to the map marked by the guide, he has searched for two suspected locations, but he has not found an area that matches the entrance to Jigokudani.
At his current pace, in another three or four hours, he would only have to climb the next two peaks, and in the evening he should have reached the third suspicious spot.
The signal in the snowy mountains is extremely weak, and even satellite phones will not be able to fully cover some areas, and when he was resting on the way, Chen Xihao tried to dial Ono's phone, but he didn't expect it to really get through.
After briefly reporting his safety to Ono, Chen Xihao had another phone call with Ryoko in Tokyo, inquired about the progress of the integration of the Tokyo gang, and finally called Minako Kamo, who was still nourishing her soul and body in Kamakura.
For Ono and Ryoko, Chen Xihao belongs to the superiors, he asks, and the other party is answering.
However, it was Minako who really gave him a headache. As expected, Minako, who received the call, was very annoyed, because Chen Xihao had been away for more than half a month this time, and she had hardly been in contact recently, if it weren't for Minako temporarily finding a teacher to help Chen Xihao substitute through the organization, Chen Xihao might have been fired from the angry principal this time.
Chen Xihao knows that he is at a loss, only if he keeps apologizing and admitting his mistakes, and ensures that things go smoothly here, he will only need to return to Kamakura in about a week, and he has not forgotten to ask Minako to help get a transfer student place, because Chen Xihao has imagined in advance that if this trip goes well, he should return to Kamakura with Sen Xue, and he is already a teacher, so Sen Xue should also have a more suitable identity in school.
This little thing is of course very simple for Minako, the owner of the yin and yang liao of the family's great business, but she is still full of resentment about Chen Xihao's delay in returning, and after complaining again, Minako rarely shows her gentle side, she told Chen Xihao that if things don't go well, there is no need to rush back too much, because the school has three weeks to go for the winter vacation, although the substitute teacher she is looking for now is tossed very miserably by that class of students, but she can still stand up for the time being, and she can't die.
Hearing Minako mention his class of students, Chen Xihao thought of the things that happened in the abandoned factory again, and he shook his head helplessly, his class of students was indeed very prickly, and it was really not something that ordinary people could surrender.
After hanging up Minako's phone, Chen Xihao breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the white mist floating in the air, Chen Xihao gradually lifted his spirits, accelerated his speed, and continued to walk towards the deep mountains.
A few hours later, the sky gradually darkened, Chen Xihao took a flashlight, compared the map in his hand, confirmed the direction of the surroundings, and felt that he had almost arrived around the third suspected location, because it was close to evening, he could not see the whole picture of the surrounding scene clearly, he decided to sleep in the vicinity for a night, and then clarify the direction tomorrow morning.
Chen Xihao squatted on the snow, put down his backpack, and prepared to take out the inflatable sleeping bag from the backpack.
At this moment, the corner of his eye seemed to sweep a white shadow, which quickly flashed through the snow-covered forest.
Well? What was that just now? Demons? Or what's the glamour?
It seems to be interesting, so let's go and check it out.
For two days and two nights, he didn't see a single figure or a beast, and he only saw the snow, which made Chen Xihao a little bored, and the changes that happened at this moment not only frightened him, but aroused a trace of excitement in him.
Since he came to this world, the first place he arrived at was hell, and then he came to this human world with onmyoji and great priests, Chen Xihao was already surprised. Later, he inexplicably became the ancestor of the demons, and Chen Xihao was completely immune to the group of demons and monsters.
When Chen Xihao put on his backpack and stepped into the jungle where the white shadow disappeared in the direction where the white shadow disappeared, he immediately felt the strange atmosphere revealed in this jungle.
This snow-covered jungle, as a whole is like a living creature, seems to guide Chen Xihao forward, and whenever he deviates from the direction, huge trees and new curved roads will always appear in front of him, leading him back onto the path in the forest.
Chen Xihao sneered in his heart, since you want to lead me to see you, I just hope that after you meet me, you won't regret it.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the woods in the distance became sparse, Chen Xihao looked up, a little light flickered in the distance, there seemed to be a hut in the forest, curling smoke, slowly rising in mid-air.
Chen Xihao thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and said silently in his heart, the eye of hell, open.
When his eyes became slightly blood-red, Chen Xihao also saw the prototype of the hut clearly, he put away the state of the Eye of Hell, snorted coldly between his noses, and strode there.
In the wooden house, a peerless beauty in a kimono, with waist-length black hair and white skin is talking in a low voice with a cat-like creature.
"You've already brought him here?"
The cat nodded slightly, then meowed again.
"Well, I know! The old rule is that the soul belongs to me, and the flesh and blood belong to you to eat. Also, don't kill him tonight, I have to ask him something, we have been hiding in the mountains for too long, and now there are too few people living in the depths of the snowy mountains, we need to know the situation in the outside world now. He's almost there, you can hide first. ”
After hearing the human woman's words, the cat nodded again and burrowed into the ground through the gap in the plank.
After the cat disappeared, the beautiful woman sat up slightly, picked up a wooden comb from her side, and began to comb her long smooth and flowing hair, and a pair of charming eyes quietly glanced at the door of the wooden house.
A few minutes later.
"Boom!!" "Bell !!"
The wooden door of the hut was kicked open, and not only did a large hole break in the middle of the broken wooden door, but the whole door also hung diagonally on the door pin, making a miserable creaking sound.
Yukihime's right hand holding the wooden comb stiffened a little, and her eyelids couldn't stop jumping. Even the cat hidden under the cabin blew up and was so frightened that it almost jumped out from underneath.
Even if Yukihime imagined hundreds of ways to knock and ask the man who was about to arrive at the cabin, she would never have imagined that the other party would enter someone else's house in this way.
"Huh? This door is so sturdy, it seems that the carpenters who break the door, the quality of the craftsmanship is not up to par! ”
Chen Xihao pretended to glance at the wooden door that was broken by him, and then sat opposite Xue Ji with a big ass, staring at Xue Ji's pretty face very rudely and began to look up and down.
Rao is a monster like Xue Ji, who is extremely good at forbearance, was also swept by Chen Xihao's unscrupulous gaze and was about to burst into anger.
It's a pity that before she could get angry, Chen Xihao's next sentence made her even more frightened.
"Anyway, why do youkai always like to be human beauties? What kind of fetish are you? Could it be that it's because you female monsters are too ugly, that's why you are so fond of the beauty of the world? ”
"You! What do you say......"
Xue Ji trembled with anger, she stretched out her slender index finger and began to point angrily at Chen Xihao.
The atmosphere became extremely tense, and the battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
"Don't pretend to be a ghost, get out of here!!"
At this moment, Chen Xihao let out a thunderous shout.
The thunderous shouts not only exploded in the wooden house, but also echoed in the valley in an instant.
The echoes of "get out, get out, get out ......" reverberated in the mountains.
In an instant, the jungle in the distance began to overlap as if it was alive, and its number decreased dramatically, but the body of the tree grew taller and larger, and gradually turned into a giant tree with roots like the old demon of Black Mountain, which waved countless roots and tendrils, and rushed towards the wooden house at an speed beyond ordinary people.
The sound that echoed between the mountains should have diverged farther and farther away, but at this moment, the echo of "get out of the ......" was clearer, and the echoes were getting closer and closer to the wooden house, and the echoes turned into a cloud of smoke with two horns, flying straight towards the cabin.
The wooden door that had been kicked open by Chen Xihao before, as well as the entire cabin, also shook at the same time, and there was a creaking sound, and the entire wooden house disappeared except for the foundation, and five small monsters of different colors and three inches tall appeared, who were holding axes, hammers, saws, planers, and nails to surround Chen Xihao.
The cat that was originally hidden under the wooden board also jumped to the ground, and stood behind Chen Xihao's side for the first time, its tense body had been bent into a bow-shape, and the big fluffy tail behind it exploded suddenly, floating in the air one by one, counting carefully, there were eight tails.
Yukihime, who was sitting on the ground, also slowly stood up at this time, and the smile that often hung on the corner of her mouth had also dissipated, and a trace of frost and indifference appeared between her eyebrows.
Chen Xihao, who was surrounded by a group of demons, did not panic at all, the light in his hand flickered, and a thick book appeared, with four big characters written on the bibliography: "Kamakura Story"
Chen Xihao stretched out his hand and gently flipped through the books, and began to look for the list of shining points in the books.
Chen Xihao's well-organized attitude completely excited this group of monsters, the human being in front of him is too arrogant, even if he has some skills, even if he is the old enemy of the monsters, such as those priests in the shrine, or the legendary onmyoji, under the siege of more than three high-ranking monsters and many median monsters, he is destined to die today.
The first to do it was the cat that had already entered the battle state, it roared lowly, the eight tails shook slightly in the air, and the whole body suddenly split into eight, after a fold in the air, the forelimbs unfolded the sharp cat's claws that flashed with cold light, like eight black lightning bolts with sharp blades, and rushed towards Chen Xihao, who was looking down to read a book.
"Bell, bell, bell......, bell
After eight consecutive crisp sounds of Jin Ge colliding, eight black figures fell to the ground one after another, condensing again to form the prototype of a cat.
Its attack just now had no effect at all, because a thin scripture book floated in front of Chen Xihao, and clusters of swirling golden spiral Sanskrit enveloped every space around Chen Xihao's periphery, as solid as a copper wall.
Orange equipment, the Sanskrit protective wall of the "White-clothed Guanyin Sutra" began to protect the Lord.
"Well, here, cats, commonly known as cat demons, can walk upright, and the average cat is an old cat with more than 10 years old, the most obvious feature is that the two tails are bifurcated into two strands, the greater the demon power, the more obvious the bifurcation.
Cats over 100 years old will evolve into the best cats, and the best cats belong to the upper class monsters. The best cat grows a tail every 9 years, until it grows to 9, when the cat with 9 tails again, it will turn into a human form in another 9 years, and the cat at this time will also have 9 lives, also known as the nine lives of the cat demon.
Cats are also very ferocious, and can use their sharp claws and sharp teeth that are not inferior to fierce beasts to tear other monsters in the mountains to pieces and eat them, and in order to maintain the spiritual power and life in the body, they will also bite and eat humans and rare birds with spirituality. In addition, it can manipulate corpses with demonic powers like a vaudeville puppet show. ”
Chen Xihao smiled and read the introduction of the cat in "Kamakura Story: Ghost Atlas", and between talking and laughing, Chen Xihao looked at the cat in front of him and said to himself: "You have eight tails, that is, eight tails cat, only one tail away from nine tails, an old monster in his 200s?" Haven't you lived for a long time? ”
Although Chen Xihao was still laughing, this time the cat suppressed its anger with a solemn face, and it began to carefully stare at the golden Sanskrit wall surrounding Chen Xihao, looking for flaws, waiting for an opportunity to attack again.
At this time, another high-ranking demon, who is also the most beautiful woman in this group of monsters, Xue Ji, moved.
She took a step forward, gently opened the cherry mouth, a faint hoarfrost squirted out from her red lips, the moment she saw this hoarfrost, the five little monsters who were originally waving weapons and beating around the golden Sanskrit wall were so frightened that their faces were pale, and they hurriedly rolled and crawled to the side.
After this white frost left Xue Ji's mouth, it instantly became extremely violent, and the violent wind pressure carried snowflakes and low temperatures, instantly enveloping Chen Xihao, who was surrounded by golden light, and after more than ten seconds of frost and snow explosion, the violent white air mass dissipated, and a human-shaped ice pick completely covered by ice and snow crystals appeared inside.
The group of monsters who were originally nervous finally let go of their nervousness and showed a smug smile.
But the smile only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
Because at this moment, the humanoid ice pick appeared cracks, with a crackling sound, the ice crystals completely shattered, and the golden Sanskrit was still slowly turning, but the speed of rotation was not as fast as at the beginning.
Chen Xihao was still holding the thick book in his hand, and the ice and snow just now didn't seem to have any effect on him.
He raised his head and glanced at Yukihime, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, revealing an expression that seemed strange.
"Snow Maiden, also known as Yukihime, is a high-ranking youkai and one of the earliest youkai to appear in ancient Japanese legends."
"The Snow Girl goes out and returns home early" is an ancient saying that is widely spread among the people. The Snow Maiden, who is good at making ice and snow, lives in the deep mountains, has a body similar to that of a human, and has a stunningly beautiful appearance, and often attracts men who enter the snowy mountains to places where no one is making love and kissing him, and at the same time completely freezes them and takes their souls to eat.
Snow Girl is a very tangled monster in people's hearts, she has snow-white skin, beautiful appearance, and virtuous character, but she can take people's lives mercilessly at the moment of your affection, beautiful and terrifying. If you encounter the Snow Maiden, you are likely to have a terrifying experience full of erotic love. ”
After Lang Lang read such an introduction about Xue Ji, Chen Xihao's expression was still very strange, and after raising his eyebrows, Chen Xihao looked at Xue Ji opposite with curiosity, and then asked
"You Snow Maidens, can you only take human souls through kissing? Assuming you're about the same age as the eight-tailed cat, you can't have kissed thousands of people in hundreds of years? Is it so experienced? ”
Xue Ji's face was flushed by Chen Xihao's words, the cuffs of the kimono and the long black hair were shaking in the wind, Chen Xihao's slander of their Snow Girl made Xue Ji angry, so she scolded regardless of her demeanor.
"Fuck you! What kind of weird book and bad book do you see, nonsense! The monsters of our Snow Maiden family only need to freeze people and freeze them to death, and they can take away their souls, and they don't need mouth-to-mouth kisses at all! You human minds are so dirty! ”
Chen Xihao scratched his head, the book given by the system could go wrong?
