Chapter 47: Komatsu Maru
Qiao Xi couldn't help frowning, stepped forward and squatted down to fiddle with the rubble on the ground, and then shook his head at the Heavenly Evil Ghost with grief-stricken eyes.
"These rocks don't look like they're the body of a monster, it's supposed to be gone."
The Heavenly Evil Ghost jumped up with a swish: "Really? Isn't Wataragi dead? That's great! Do you know where it goes, adult? β
It said that a pair of eyes as big as an adult's fist looked at Qiao Xi expectantly.
Qiao Xi was silent for a moment, and looked at the elf on his fingertips, who were also a little dazed because of the current situation.
The elf shook his wings crampedly, and his face was sad: "I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't see where Lord Wataragi went......"
Qiao Xi patted his head comfortingly, and his eyes searched around here.
- He didn't have much hope for this elf, after all, if it wasn't for his side, it couldn't leave the plant it was born from.
Qiao Xi thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed and began to think about whether to raise a dog in the shrine.
But even if you want to raise it, it's a matter for later, and now you should still think about how to find the trace of the willow according to the pile of broken stones in front of you.
- It's ...... No, it really makes the monster's heart congested.
Qiao Xi's fingers touched the scattered stones that exploded on the ground, and suddenly his expression froze, he picked up something from among the scattered stones, and looked sideways at the Heavenly Evil Ghost: "What is this?" β
The Heavenly Evil Ghost, who was restlessly circling on the ground, looked at Qiao Xi's hand, and suddenly jumped up again: "Big man!" Throw it away! Throw away! β
Qiao Xi tilted his head for some reason, but just after he hesitated for a moment, the shiny unknown object in his hand suddenly emitted a cloud of black-red light and enveloped him.
After a few seconds, the light dispersed, and Qiao Xi blinked: "This is the end?" β
The Heavenly Evil Ghost looked sluggish: "Ah, it seems to be the end of ......"
Qiao Xi glanced at him, brought the thing in his hand to his eyes and looked at it, and said thoughtfully: "It seems to be...... Seed? β
The Heavenly Demon nodded busily: "Yes, my lord!" β
Its voice sounded seriousβthough nothing was really discernible from its face.
Qiao Xi raised his eyebrows and looked over, and the Heavenly Evil Ghost said solemnly: "Speaking of which, some time ago, there was a legend that there was a monster called 'Fengsheng' in this mountain. β
Wind is born, and it is impossible to say that it is fast.
Where did it come from, and no one ...... Youkai knows.
It's just that it suddenly appeared in this mountain, and many youkai in the mountain have seen him.
Some say it manipulates the wind, some say it manipulates poison, and some say it manipulates plants.
There are many legends about it, and they are all different, but the only thing that is known is that it has a particularly brutal personality.
- It's not the brutality of low-level youkai without consciousness, but it's a youkai who naturally likes to kill and like blood.
Qiao Xi couldn't help frowning as he listened to the trembling narration of the Heavenly Evil Ghost, and just as he wanted to ask more specifically, he suddenly raised his head and looked behind him.
A small youkai suddenly emerged from the woods behind him.
"Yes, don't try to find it~"
Qiao Xi raised his eyebrows: "Who are you?" β
A delicate and cute squirrel-like monster came to Qiao Xi with a pine cone half the size of herself, and then looked up at him, and said with a smile:
"Me? Under the name Komatsu Maru. β
Qiao Xi looked down at the little monster that was not as tall as his calf, and for some reason, the first thought that popped up in his mind was that those who squinted were monsters.
In fact, he didn't know where he heard this sentence, but after seeing this smiling little girl, he subconsciously recalled this sentence in his mind.
- Monsters?
Qiao Xi narrowed his eyes, laughed, squatted down as much as possible to be level with Komatsumaru, and then said, "Why do you say that?" β
Komatsumaru's eyes are bent into the shape of a very pleasant crescent moon, and the appearance of tilting his head and holding a pine nut actually looks very cute.
"Sa, this is advice, I like you very much, so I don't want you to die~Lord Fengyuejin~"
The words behind her that said Qiao Xi's name were almost word by word.
Qiao Xi tilted his head, and simply sat down cross-legged on the ground,
"Huh? Recognizable? β
The Heavenly Demon stared at this for a while, looking at that for a while, and couldn't say a word of shock.
- It could only feel that Qiao Xi was very powerful, but it didn't think that he was the legendary Fengyue God.
The smile on Komatsumaru's face became more and more intense, "Ahhhhh
"Ah, is it? Why, then, is there such 'advice'? β
Qiao Xi asked this without the slightest anger, and Komatsumaru's nose wrinkled tightly.
"Well, Lord Fengyue, this won't work."
She tilted her head and smiled slightly, and suddenly stretched out her hand towards Qiao Xi: "If you need something to be sure, then follow along." β
Qiao Xi stared at the fleshy little hand she stretched out towards her, thought for a few seconds, and raised her hand to take her into his arms.
Komatsumaru's smiling expression cracked for a moment, and he struggled in Qiao Xi's arms.
"Stupid, stupid! Put me down! A sucker! β
Qiao Xi blinked in confusion and looked down at the little squirrel girl who was constantly struggling in her arms.
"Huh? Doesn't it mean to hug when you reach out? β
Komatsumaru's eyes widened.
"Of course not! Put me down! β
Qiao Xi nodded knowingly: "Ah, is that so?" β
He bent down and put Komatsumu on the ground again, Komatsumu hugged the big pine cone in his hand angrily, snorted fiercely at Qiao Xi, and then walked towards the woods with his chin raised.
Qiao Xi scratched her cheek, then raised her heel behind Komatsumaru.
Komatsumaru led the way in front, she was petite, and she got straight through the low bushes, and then stood on the other side of the bushes and watched Qiao Xixiao.
The smile on her face was still the same smile that she had at the beginning, but Qiao Xi inexplicably felt that she was just proud.
But......
Hawkers, this level is really nothing to him, the Fengyue God.
Qiao Xi's finger touched the dense bushes that were growing, and the branches parted from the middle very obediently.
Komatsumaru wrinkled his nose without a trace, and continued to walk in one direction, and then stopped in one place.
Qiao Xi turned a huge poplar tree, and his gaze fell on the front of him.
"It's ......"
