Lush forests.

Water vapor rises from the wet earth under the scorching sun, giving it a smoky feeling of a fairyland.

A spotted fawn.

In the shadow of the trees, I walked to the edge of a mountain spring and drank the clear spring water.

As the bird walked through the forest, the fawn's eyes glanced at the bird, and he stood still for a few seconds.

Then he started drinking water again......

"Where the hell is Tamamo?"

Gu Huoniao walked quietly, and when he walked, his eyes only looked at the road ahead, and he did not look around.

Although it was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

However, this day will soon pass, Chen Beibei asked her to come here to help Yuzaoqian, but until now, Gu Huoniao has not seen Yuzaoqian.

Therefore, it is inevitable to be a little anxious.

"Looks like we'd better go to the rest of Little Dirt Road Island first."

Gu Hou Bird lifted up his sleeve, revealing his arms covered with bird feathers, Gu Hou Bird's legs slammed hard, and the huge wings flapped a few times.

The moment it soared into the air.

The deer, who was drinking from the spring, was frightened and ran into the depths of the forest......

……

Light.

Purple glow......

Like a mist, with a hazy feeling.

This is something that Gu Hou Bird didn't see before entering Qingmang Mountain, so it must have appeared recently.

"What the hell is it?"

Gu Shou looked at the purple light emanating from the sky, and these rays formed a huge hemispherical shape, enveloping a certain area of Qingmang Mountain.

The bird flew towards the place, but the bird flew higher.

Because Gu Huoniao felt that such an abnormal situation might be accompanied by danger, and if he flew higher, it would not be so easy for others to discover.

……

Looking down at the ground from above.

Everything in full view.

In a relatively sparsely wooded area, a dozen men in black and a white-haired old man stood quietly, as if they were performing some strange ritual.

In front of the dozen or so men in black, there was a scroll in front of each of them.

The purple light emanated from the scroll.

"Is it the person who came to catch Tamamo?"

Gu Xuaniao looked at those people and couldn't help but think so in his heart.

After all.

Now that the people of the Kamo clan who originally lived on Kodoji Island have all left Kodoji Island, it is very likely that these people are the people who came to catch Tamamo.

"What the hell are they doing?"

Gu Hou Bird flew cautiously in the air, and kept a long distance, because at this time, Gu Hou Bird did not know what these people were doing.

Since these people are here to catch Tamamo.

Then it can be shown that these people are very scary, at least for Gu Won Bird.

Gu got the bird to know the tamamo before.

So.

Gu Bird also knew that there was a huge gap between himself and Tamamo Qian, and this gap had been opened up since the time of their existence.

It is impossible to rely on diligence and hard work to surpass.

……

The small town of Scarborough.

At sunset, the sea and the town are dyed a hazy golden yellow, and everything looks tranquil and beautiful.

The people of the Kamo clan lived here without any trouble, and no one came to fight them for territory.

This is for the people of the Kamo clan.

It's already something that I once didn't dare to hope for.

Now.

Chen Beibei and the whole Hemao Anping they sat in the tavern of Scarborough Town because of the arrival of the Hemao clan.

The tavern was able to sell new wine again under the takeover of the Hemao people.

There were not only Chen Beibei and the two of them in the tavern, but also Monk Zhiguang and the homeless man who used to live in Scarborough Town.

Monk Zhiguang agreed.

The food for these homeless people is the responsibility of their Kamo clan. Even if it is wine, Monk Zhiguang is not stingy at all.

After a few glasses of wine.

Chen Beibei was already slightly drunk, and while he was still conscious, Chen Beibei said what he said to He Mao Anping.

"Young master, I'm going to leave here tomorrow."

Chen Beibei's eyes did not look at He Mao Anping, but at the wine on his wine glass, and the wine that was almost full trembled slightly in the glass.

"Is the Taoist going to leave?"

He Mao Anping looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

There was obviously a trace of loss on He Mao Anping's face, after all, for him, Chen Beibei did help him a lot.

Even what he's always wanted to do.

Now it has also been realized.

Chen Beibei is leaving now, and He Mao Anping is still more or less reluctant, or unaccustomed.

"Well, because I have other things to do."

Chen Beibei looked at He Mao Anping and said slowly.

"Do you have to do something?"

He Mao asked.

"Hmm."

Chen Beibei replied.

Chen Beibei is no longer alone, he has so many monsters around him, in order to protect them, Chen Beibei can only make himself stronger.

At least.

When real danger comes, you must be able to survive it......

All youkai.

They all have a kind of psychology that is willing to follow powerful people, and this psychology comes from their instinct to live.

Weak youkai will behave obviously.

And powerful youkai have a certain ability to protect themselves, so sometimes it is relatively less obvious.

Chen Beibei still has no way to protect Gu Bird and Snow Maiden, who are more powerful monsters than himself, but these monsters have really followed him.

For the sake of these youkai.

Chen Beibei must also grow up quickly!

"In that case, then I won't keep you......"

He Mao Anhei picked up the wine in front of him, and then drank it all in one gulp, looking a little lost and helpless.

But.

When He Mao Anping said, "I won't keep you", there was a reluctant smile on his face.

I probably want to make myself look more chic and open-minded.

"Well, thank you, young master."

Chen Beibei looked at He Mao Anping and said to him.

He Mao Anping doesn't like to force others to stay, and he doesn't like to play on the spot, and in this regard, He Mao Anping is indeed very good.

At least things can be made clear quickly.

Monk Zhiguang sat quietly all the time and didn't say anything, after all, in this case, he was not easy to interject.

But it can also be seen.

Monk Zhiguang's face also had some regret.

"After the Taoist is gone, the gate of the Hemao clan will be open for you at any time."

He Mao Anping looked at Chen Beibei and said sincerely.

"Hmm."

Chen Beibei nodded, and then picked up his wine: "Young master, the words are in the wine......"

He Mao Anping actually trusts Chen Beibei very much, which Chen Beibei can always feel obviously.

Now to get out of here.

There is no way to do it, after all, the world has indeed undergone certain changes.

Chen Beibei has no way to ignore these changes, and continue to live like a salted fish as always, like that.

The youkai who follow him.

Maybe.

will die......

……

Night.

It's coming.

The heat of the day slowly faded, and everything seemed to be beautiful.

The bird landed on the old tree, standing quietly on the branches, looking at the onmyoji and the white-haired old man in the distance.

Those people.

Standing still for more than an hour.

"Crane Weng, there's enough time."

A person's voice sounded, not loud, but because the surrounding environment was very quiet, the bird could still be faintly heard.

"Well, let's go inside, then."

Tsuru looked at the man and said to him.

Those men in black, after the night fell, their figures gradually disappeared into the dark night, even the eagle with keen vision, it was difficult to see what those people were doing from a relatively long distance.

The group walked towards the hidden hole.

The men disappeared from the bird's sight, and the bird quickly jumped down from the tree.

After all, this group of people.

It is very likely that before coming to catch Tamamo, it is naturally impossible for Gu Yu Bird to let them disappear from his surveillance like this.

When the bird walks, it is very cautious, and there is hardly any sound.

Gu Shou Bird looked inside at the entrance of the cave, it was pitch black, nothing could be seen, and the distance that the eyes could see was probably less than one meter.

"Looks like we have to go in."

Gu Shouniao carefully walked into the cave, and the rock wall that his hand touched, there was a feeling of wetness, and water seeped out everywhere on the rock wall.

The bird will touch the rock wall and continue to walk.

If you walk like this, you can keep your eyes completely around you without having to keep looking at the road ahead.

This is the case where visibility is too low.

You also have to be more focused, which is something that Gu Bird knows very well.

……

"Crane Weng, here!"

A man's voice rang out, echoing through the rock walls of the cave, sounding not very far from the bird.

Gu Xuanniao couldn't help but speed up.

It is not difficult to judge the approximate position of someone else's speech from the voice, at least for Gu Xuanniao.

In a cave.

Gradually, a glimmer of light appeared, the light of a torch.

Gu Xuanniao couldn't help but stop, hiding behind a rock, carefully observing the situation in front of him.

In the side hole of a cave, the light emitted by a dozen torches was enough to brighten up the small side hole.

It's still the white-haired old man and the twelve onmyoji from before.

Merely.

This time there seemed to be a slight difference from before, that is, in front of those people, on a rough stone, a nine-tailed fox lay quietly.

"Tamamo front ......"

Gu Xuaniao held his breath, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up

The appearance of the legendary big monster Tamamo in front of Guyu Bird is a very memorable thing.

After all.

Tamamo can already be regarded as a man standing on the top of the youkai.

"Humans, do you want to die?"

The nine-tailed fox, which was sleeping quietly on his stomach, suddenly opened his eyes with obvious anger in his eyes.

Probably because at the end of the night, Black Feather and Wolf had already told him the news that Tsuru Weng was going to catch it, so Tamamo was so angry.

"It'...... Woke up ......"

The onmyoji with the red sasa gentian on his sleeve looked at Tsuru Weng and said slowly.

The onmyoji's voice trembled a little, and he didn't know if it was excitement or fear......

"Hmm."

Tsuru nodded.

"Amazao, if you want to kill us, you can try."

Crane Weng looked at the nine-tailed fox and said slowly.

When Tsuru Weng said this, he could see a smile on Tsuruong's face. Seems to enjoy the process.

The nine-tailed fox stood up from the boulder.

He wanted to control his tail and attack the crane, but found that his tail could no longer grow longer and thicker.

"What's going on...... I don't feel any power in my body anymore. Humans, are you using some dirty means? ”

The nine-tailed fox's voice sounded very angry.

But.

At the moment, it can't do anything.

"Grab it!"

Crane Weng looked at the two onmyoji beside him and said to the two of them.

The two onmyoji walked towards the nine-tailed fox, and now the spiritual power of the nine-tailed fox had been temporarily frozen by them.

There is not much difference between the current nine-tailed fox and the ordinary fox.

"Giggle......

The nine-tailed fox gritted its teeth fiercely, staring at the two onmyoji who were walking towards it, and it could be felt that the nine-tailed fox was carrying a resolute killing intent at the moment.

Even if you can't use spiritual power.

Then bite them to death.

"Nine-tailed fox, living in such a place must be very boring, right? We'll take you out into the outside world......"

An onmyoji said.

"Giggle......

The nine-tailed fox did not change in the slightest, and always faced them with a very vigilant posture.

"The spiritual power is frozen, why is there such a thing?"

Gu Huoniao, who was hiding in the distance, had already heard their conversation clearly at this time. So I also know a little bit about it.

Tamamo was used by those people in front of what strange means, and the spiritual power was frozen.

Those people were already planning to snatch Tamamo Front, but Tamamo didn't want to go with them, after all, Tamamo had a hatred for humans.

Whether it's a flower or a feather coat.

Until now, Tamamo has not found his two children......

Even if I don't want to admit it, Tamamo has thought about the worst possibility in my heart for countless days and nights and moments.

"Whew......"

The nine-tailed fox let out a roar, and then pounced on the onmyoji who was walking in front, and its sharp teeth bit the onmyoji's arm.

"Ahh

A scream sounded, and it was a little sad to hear.

Under the light of the fire, the stones on the ground were already soaked with some red liquid, and the arm that had been bitten also fell to the side.

The onmyoji clutched his wounds tightly, trying to make the blood flow out more slowly......
