Chapter 115: Gods and Monsters
Fate is such a thing, even if Qiao Xi, who has lived for hundreds of years, feels very unclear in many cases, and this feeling deepens more and more when he sees the young man who has eyes that seem to be extremely cold and inexplicably hot.
In the wilderness, there are endless unknown flowers, shining in the faint morning light, as if the stars in the sky had fallen here in an instant.
Occasionally, the breath of monsters floated by, but it was not strong - after all, Qiao Xi had deliberately released the breath of his big monster when he came to this place, and ordinary monsters naturally hid if they could.
Therefore, in this case, such a young man standing there with a big grin and carrying a long knife wrapped in cloth undoubtedly attracted all Qiao Xi's attention.
He tilted his head, and the young man in front of him looked familiar.
The long dark purple hair was tied into a high ponytail and almost hung down to the waist, and a pair of colored eyes were not very clear under the cover of bangs, but it was very strange, Qiao Xi could feel that the other party's blue eyes were clear and did not seem to contain any impurities.
In a matter of seconds, he dug up the man from his memory—an unknown god who watched over himself while he was drunk until he woke up at a festival where the fox was married.
- It should be emphasized that this god seems to be the god of calamity who kills the lord.
Realizing this, although the aura emanating from the young man at this moment was very unkind, Qiao Xi still classified the young man into his own category as a matter of course, so he tilted his head and smiled slightly, looking extremely well-behaved and harmless.
"At times like this...... Maybe I should say that I haven't seen you for a long time? ”
The young man glanced at him sideways, and did not speak, his eyes were cold, without the slightest emotion, even if he touched Qiao Xi's warm gaze, his expression did not change at all, as if there was such a big person in front of him and the flowers and plants around him, there was no difference.
Such a look made Qiao Xi's eyes bend up.
It's not that he boasts, the person who can ignore him so completely so naturally, it's really the first time he's seen after living for so many years.
Before he could think about whether he should continue to talk or forget it, the young man had already turned around expressionlessly, jumped a few times between the grass with very dexterous movements, and his figure disappeared.
Qiao Xi paused in place, and his mind unconsciously remembered the young man who raised insects with him not long ago.
He glanced in the direction in which the boy had disappeared, his eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but follow.
- He thinks that the smell of the boy who raised the bugs is a little weird, but it is not particularly annoying, and Qiao Xi has already identified it as the next pastime after solving the Yamamoto Gorou Saemon problem.
And the murderous appearance of this unknown god of calamity made him very unhappy with that young man.
The god of calamity did not hide his aura, and the chilling suffocating murderous aura spread from all directions where he passed, causing the surrounding monsters and small animals to flee in all directions, and at the same time, Qiao Xi found his location very accurately.
Qiao Xi was only less than ten seconds behind the young calamity, and the two non-humans in front of him were already fighting.
To be reasonable, the bug boy's attack objectively looks a bit disgusting.
The unknown insects that looked well-behaved and clever in the delicate lanterns were squealed by the demonic spirit of the teenager, mixed with the sound of wings or carapace rubbing against each other, and the scene looked extremely hideous.
And the god of calamity was very neat, the white cloth that was originally wrapped in the long knife in his hand was untied halfway, and some of it was messily wrapped around the young man's hand, and the terrifying murderous aura seemed to suppress the little insects of the insect boy.
Without looking any further, Qiao Xi could find that the God of Calamity had the absolute upper hand.
- So here's the problem.
The god of calamity was chasing the insect boy, and before that, how did this insect boy escape from the hands of the god of calamity, whose force value was far superior to his?
Qiao Xi set his eyes on the insect boy, guessing what was special about the boy.
He looked at it for a while, and gradually attracted his attention to the unidentified ornament with the inscription hanging from the young man's neck.
- At the same time, he also determined that what the god of calamity wanted, presumably this unknown ornament.
However, the insect boy was able to escape from him before, and naturally there were some life-saving means, and at the moment when he was in danger of being split in half by the God of Calamity, Qiao Xi watched a beautiful young man with clear eyebrows turn into countless insects and explode to the ground.
Qiao Xi: Stunned jpg.
The god of calamity has obviously experienced the routine of the insect boy, his face has changed unchanged, his wrist is flipped, and the long knife slashes along the place where the insects are the most, and the friction between the carapace and the blade and the occasional sound of insects exploding are simply numb to the scalp of the listener.
Qiao Xi couldn't help it, so he reached out and rubbed his wrist.
Originally, the two people were fighting fiercely, and Qiao Xi's move instantly attracted the attention of both people.
Qiao Xi: "......"
Qiao Xi sat on the tree, bowing his head innocently, and his eyes were in line with the cold gaze of the god of calamity.
Although it is also a god born from the power of human wishes, unlike the god of Toyotsuki, who brings a good harvest to mankind and represents happiness, as a god of calamity, both humans and yokai have the impression that they bring many irrationalities and misfortunes in life, and even if all beings live with good intentions, they may not be able to achieve happiness.
The blessings and misfortunes of life are all determined by the gods, and the existence of the god of misfortune is to ruthlessly bring sorrow and misfortune to sentient beings.
It's like the exact opposite of Qiao Xi.
- But as far as Qiao Xi knows, there are humans who borrow the power of the god of calamity to eliminate some of the existence that opposes him.
As for whether the god of calamity itself will bring misfortune or something, this Qiao Xi has not studied it, and he can't be sure.
Qiao Xi scratched her cheek and showed a well-behaved smile on her face.
With just such a distraction, the insects that were already scattered all over the place scattered in all directions fled in all directions in an instant.
The two gods in the opposite gaze also noticed this phenomenon at the same time.
Qiao Xi: "......"
The god of calamity glanced at Qiao Xi coldly again, and slowly untied the strips of cloth wrapped around his right hand with one hand, and then slowly wrapped it back along the long knife little by little.
Qiao Xi squatted on the tree, watching his series of movements, and at the moment when he was about to turn around and leave, he raised his hand and pointed to the long knife in his hand, and asked with some hesitation: "That...... The smell is a little strange......"
