Chapter 182: The Man Behind the Scenes

In ancient times, plague was a catastrophic disease for people.

Wide range, fast spread, infected with the plague in ancient times, wait for your own death! It's good to die on your own, but it's even more troublesome if you infect someone else.

And the plague in ancient times was most likely to produce on the battlefield.

The plague caused by the corrosion of corpses is very easy, although there is a tradition of collecting corpses after the war, but this is very troublesome, and not all generals will do it.

And the most common is that the corpse is left on the battlefield and no one disposes of it, and the corpse is abandoned in the wilderness and left to be eaten by wild beasts.

"You don't see, Qinghai head, no one has collected the white bones in ancient times." Du Fu's "Soldiers' Chariots" depicts the tragic scene of corpses all over the field.

However, generally speaking, the most common practice of the ancients was - burying.

But most of the time it's just a matter of digging a huge pit and burying all the bodies, which is already very merciful.

However, even if it is buried, it is not foolproof that there is time, and there is still a possibility of plague.

...

At night, on top of a barren mountain, patches of trees were pushed by a behemoth, a huge humanoid skeleton that had no legs and only two hands crawling.

But even so, it is almost 100 meters long. And it carries the plague with it.

This is exactly what Japan is known for: the powerful monster "Araku Skeleton".

"Hey! Big! Long time no see, where are you going? Take me with you! ”

A nice girl's voice came from the head of the wild skeleton, and the wild skeleton stopped his hands and said loudly, "Who is disturbing me?" ”

"Yay! Why don't you know me after I haven't seen you for a few days? And say we're good friends? The girl's voice was a little aggrieved, and she complained to the wild skeleton.

"Good friends?" The skeleton hesitated.

"No, it won't! You really forgot about me so quickly? ”

Seeing the appearance of the wild skeleton, the girl was really surprised, and then with a snort, she instantly appeared in front of the wild skeleton.

It's so fast, it's hard to prevent!

"It's true heaven for Izu! Who am I? But I'm stupid, so don't play hide and seek with me!

You were my first friend and will always be my best friend. "I saw this beautiful girl in front of me, without hands, with wings and a bird's tail, both the human part and the bird part were very beautiful.

Imaten Izu, a fierce bird in Japanese legend where the soul of the buried dead is transformed into a yokai, often appears in plague-endemic years, chirping and calling out his name in the wild where the corpse of the dead is buried.

"Really? Well, I thought you had forgotten about me!

Ay! However, you have grown so big after only a few days of not seeing the big guys? Almost 100 meters, right? Are you already a big youkai? ”

Hearing the words of the barren skeleton, Izu Zhentian was instantly relieved, this is his safest home, he doesn't have to be afraid of humans, he doesn't have to change homes again and again because he was discovered by humans, and he also has his own familiar smell (the smell of the plague).

"Well, in the past few days, an adult has found me and helped me directly improve to the strength of a big monster, and in exchange I will go and help him do something.

I am now doing exactly what he tells me to do. The barren skeleton looked at his hands and said to Izug Maten.

"Directly increase the strength of the big monster? This... Who is this adult? It's so powerful... It's incredible that you can make someone else a big monster, right?

And since that adult is so powerful, why do you want to help him do something?

Big guy, could this be a trap? Hearing the words of the wild skeleton, Izu Zhentian looked at the wild skeleton very worriedly, and jumped directly on top of the wild skeleton's head.

"I don't know, but he can't just improve the strength of others, improve my strength, he used a lot of legendary killing stones, and I can become a big monster because I already have the potential of a big monster, but it just accelerates my growth time, and even so, my achievements are mainly here, because this way of pulling out seedlings to help me also consume all my potential, and I can only be the weakest big monster like this in the future.

And the lifespan is many times less than that of other big monsters. The barren skeleton didn't feel the slightest discomfort and replied directly.

"Knowing that, then you still promise him?" Izu Maten was a little anxious.

"I think it's good, I don't know how many hundred years it will take me to become a big monster, and I may die directly in these few hundred years.

It's good like this now. ”

"..."Izu Maten.

"That's right! At least this still has the ability to protect itself, and if you grow up slowly, you may be killed soon. Izu Maten sighed, remembering that since his birth, he has always been hunted down by humans.

It is that he has a golden feather that is very precious to humans.

In his own clan, many people were caught by human onmyoji and mages and raised like hens that lay golden eggs.

The golden feathers on the body are plucked out when they grow, and then they wait for them to continue to grow, and so on until they die.

"I'm not here for a few days, nothing happened to you, is it? The humans didn't notice you, did they? The barren skeleton continued to crawl forward with both hands, and directly opened a passage tens of meters wide in this forest, and all the trees fell along the route.

"It's okay! I've hid it well, and it doesn't seem to be as many powerful humans in Kai as there are other places, and the most powerful one is a half-demon.

She shouldn't embarrass me......" Izsu Maten combed her beautiful feathers and said calmly.

"That's good, but that Kai's strongest half-demon, my current mission is related to her." The barren skeleton said as he crawled to Izsu Maten above his head.

"Huh? What's going on? What kind of task? And who the hell are you talking about? Izu Zhentian was stunned for a moment, and asked the barren skeleton curiously.

You must know that this wild skeleton is actually just a newborn, not long after it was born, it was born only last year, from a mass grave.

It's also because he was born in the same place as this wild skeleton that he can have such a good relationship. Although he was born many years ago.

However, you can directly accelerate the growth of a newborn monster into a big monster, even if there are so many side effects, but it is also very powerful, and such a character will definitely not be unknown.

"Which adult needs a juvenile fox demon next to that half-demon as a sacrifice to completely control the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox Yuzao, and my task is to capture that fox demon alive.

As for who that lord is...... He used to be a human onmyoji.,But now he's a monster.,It should be said that he's a half-demon.。。

He is one of the three great onmyoji masters of the legendary Abe family. ”

"Could it be that Haruaki Abe !!?"

"Nope! It is Abe Haruaki's grandson 'Finger God Son' Abe Yasukin, legend has it that Abe Yasuko before killing Tamamo! ”
