Towards the middle of the night, the cool breeze blew slightly, and a team of light horses galloped on the desolate land.

This is the samurai of the Imperial family who left the village town, and is leading his five lower-level samurai, at least towards the position of Nansa Castle, although it is already night, but with the increase of the power of the Tao and the light of the stars and moon in the sky, it can be seen clearly.

The dirt road from Hachifan Yamamura Town to Minamisa Castle has not been set foot in several years, but it is a road that has been repaired in the past, and even if it is now potholed and uneven, there is no problem with horses galloping.

If you can return to Nansa City soon, who wants to sleep in this already desolate wilderness?

Eating and sleeping in the open is second.

Don't get into some trouble is the main problem!

It's just that while galloping, the sound of horses' hooves bursts, the brows of the imperial warrior are tightly furrowed, and he is also responsible for opening the way in front of the horse: "What's the matter?" He looked up, "That's... Hell?!"

As a warrior of the Imperial Family who specializes in dealing with weird things in Nansa Castle, he has been involved in everything from monsters to all kinds of monsters, as well as even more weird ghosts, not to mention the profound Dao power he has mastered, and he is extremely sensitive to both demonic and ghostly energy.

The reins in his hand were lightly pulled, and the horse under his crotch received the command, and the speed of galloping suddenly decreased.

Right behind you.

The five junior samurai who followed also slowed their horses.

It's just that the power of the Dao they cultivated has not yet reached the point where they can detect ghost qi or demonic qi from a long distance, so they asked in wonder: "My lord, there is an abandoned village town in front, why don't we spend the night there to rest?"

The samurai of the imperial family frowned: "That guy Momotaro on the side of the road, where did he die?" He asked rhetorically.

"Where did you die?"

The face of the junior samurai was stunned: "Isn't it..."

I just wanted to say the place, but then I stopped abruptly, looked at each other, and found the answer in my eyes: "Abandoned village town?!" Subconsciously raised his head, and the black ruins shrouded in the light of the stars and moon in front of him suddenly became weird!

From Minamisa Castle to Hachifan Mountain Village, this desolate territory can be regarded as vast.

In the midst of this desolate realm.

There are probably three or five abandoned villages, but the only abandoned village town that can be built next to the road and can be used for people to stay and rest is not the one that appears in front of you?

The lower-level warriors' faces were solemn, and their breathing was slightly rough: "Won't it?" swallowed their saliva, and their faces became a little ugly: "When we came here before, the abandoned village town didn't encounter any abnormal situations..."

When they went to Hachifan Mountain during the day, they just galloped all the way, after all, the speed of horseback riding was very fast, and it didn't take half a day to get there, so they just took a short break in the abandoned village town.

Even if it was inspected at the time, it was difficult to inspect it in detail.

What's more, the monster doesn't have legs, can't it move?

His hand had already been put on the hilt of the knife, he slowly clenched it, and looked at each other on his horse, without saying anything, but directly turned over and dismounted, and led each other's horses to gradually approach the abandoned village town, his face was extremely solemn.

The same is true of the leading samurai, walking in front, the katana in his hand has been drawn halfway.

The cold glow on the knife body was reflected.

Because in his eyes, in this abandoned village, there are subtle black mist in the air, hovering in the sky, and the source is in the depths of the abandoned village.

This is the phenomenon of ghost energy, a special energy similar to demonic energy.

"Goo-goo-goo-"

As they approached the abandoned village, an inexplicable voice appeared.

It's not like birdsong.

The Imperial Warrior frowned, and in his perception, a strange aura full of desolation was permeating in front of him, gradually extending to this side through those ruins.

Those lower-level warriors had also sensed this strange aura of coldness, the katana in their hands was completely pulled out, their breathing was heavy, and the power of the Dao that they had cultivated all over their bodies was already fully operational.

Just behind him, the horses leading them, as if they also sensed the danger approaching, snorted restlessly, shook their heads and looked around, if it weren't for the reins still being held by the master, it is estimated that these horses that are sharper than human intuition would have turned around and ran, and fled in the approaching unknown danger!

What the ghost represents is the ghost that escapes from the underworld, or the ghost that is born in the world due to various resentments and hatreds, and finally entangled, of course, it is a ghost after all.

For humans and youkai, these ghosts are the things that must be killed when encountered!

Humans can communicate.

Some youkai with sis and intelligence can also communicate.

But ghosts, ferocious and tyrannical and inhumane are just that, even those top-level ghosts have wisdom no less than that of humans and high-level monsters, what they do is not communication and communication, but complete enslavement.

Just like the enslavement between ghosts and ghosts, even if humans and monsters become their subordinates and do not kill them directly, they will eventually become half-human and half-ghost, or half-ghost-like existence, driven by slavery, and turn to live more benefits for themselves - ghosts need to devour a large number of souls in order to evolve, and whether humans or monsters are finally driven by the enslavement of ghosts, the result is that they are used to the point that there is no scum left, and finally even the soul is chewed and swallowed!

Therefore, in today's world, the largest human forces and slightly weaker monster forces will be strangled directly as long as they encounter ghosts, and they are even more violent than the conflict between humans and monsters.

Unless there is really no way to resist, a weak balance will be formed.

For example, the city of the ghost wolf's lair in the depths of the mountain is the monster city originally established by the wolf demons, but I didn't expect it to be occupied by the evil ghosts from the underworld in the end, and the two sides have no way to solve each other, so they can only seek peace and maintain peace.

After all, the pressure of the Thousand Fields Country is there, and if the two of them do not maintain peace and maintain a reluctant peace, they will be swept in by the human army of the Thousand Fields Country and wipe them all out.

This point is already in Nansa Castle, and there is already information about it, and the samurai of the imperial family still knows it in their hearts.

But now.

Faced with the ghosts that appeared in the abandoned village town in the desolate wilderness, he didn't plan to let it go!

Nansa Castle has various rewards for exterminating monsters and ghosts, and the strength of their group is not weak, as long as they don't encounter strong ghosts, then they can pay a small price, or they can be solved with only minor injuries.

What's more, if there are powerful ghosts here, then it will already be a ghost qi covering the sky and the sun, just like the dark clouds shrouded in the depths of the Bird Mountain, it is a manifestation of the essence of ghost energy, as long as they see it, they will know how terrifying it is, how could they not want to die in the past?

As the samurai of the imperial family and the five lower-ranking samurai approached the depths of the village, the reins in their hands had been released, and the horses behind them were restlessly waiting in place, which was the effect of the training on weekdays.

The horses confess their masters, and their owners do not run, and they do not run until they are forced to do so.

"Click, Click......"

Strange voices appeared more and more clearly.

The samurai of the imperial family and the lower-ranking samurai stepped forward, behind the barely intact main house of the village town, between the ruins and broken walls, more and more ghostly qi appeared, which diffused to make people's limbs more and more cold.

It's not the coldness of the winter season, but the coldness that comes from the heatless underworld, as if even the soul will be frozen, or... There is a terrifying spirit that requires the power of the Dao in the body to permeate to keep the body and soul from being attacked.

It's just that when they walked through the ruins, their faces suddenly stiffened: "That... It was—" Right in front of them, in the midst of a pile of ruins, a fat figure was sitting with his back to them, his head down and munching on something.

As if hearing a voice behind it, it slowly turned its head, its fat face was extremely pale, and its cloudy eyes unnaturally skimmed to the sides, as if it was not looking at them with eyes at all, and grinned: "You... Did You Know... What's my name?" The grinning mouth, the blood-colored minced meat, and the half-cut human arm in the hand, the scene was extremely tragic!

And the leader of the imperial family samurai instantly drew his sword, and the power of the Dao in his body was directly attached to the blade, and the whole person rushed forward with a roar wearing armor, and slashed away when he drew his sword: "Ghost thing!"
