Chapter 45: Spider-headed Youkai
"Uh......h Evil! ”
Shippo's eyes were in circles, and he was lying on the edge of the boat uncomfortably, although he was a monster, but he had a problem that was very rare even among humans - seasickness, and in order to find the Jade of the Four Souls was Inuyasha and his party, but at this time they were in a boat, down the stream, after all, it was very tiring to always walk, and Kagome and Ryvi also wanted to enjoy the scenery of the ancient landscape.
"Shippo, how can you get seasick as a youkai? Really, none of them have any motivation! We're not here to play, Kagome, and have the breath of the Jade Fragment of the Four Souls? ”
Glancing back depressedly, Inuyasha's mood was a little strangely irritable, today, but it's a little special.
"It's disgusting!"
"Yes...... Be! There doesn't seem to be the breath of the Jade of the Four Souls around here! ”
Shippo is now able to resist the vomiting sensation in his abdomen, but Kagome, who thinks it is a trip, is very happy, enjoying the breeze on the surface of the water and watching the fish swimming in the water. Naturally, she knew why Kagome was so happy, because her sister happened to be invited by that Hojo-kun before they left, but because of Inuyasha, she immediately rejected the first date in her life, so she built a boat with Inuyasha, and her mind was really playing.
"Didn't you see anything too?"
"Hmmm! There doesn't seem to be any foreknowledge right now! ”
"Yes! So let's hurry up and get out of here, and cross this mountain before it gets dark to find a place to rest! Hey...... Is that? ”
Inuyasha, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, noticed that the river in front of him was blocked by some strange white silk as the boat moved, and when he got closer, Inuyasha immediately recognized what those silk were.
"What is it?"
"Spider Silk!"
"Is there such a long spider silk?"
Kagome was amazed to hear Inuyasha's answer, how did the spider silk knot its silk together when it was long enough to cross a river, and there were no branches connecting the two sides? However, her doubts were quickly solved by Fence.
"If it's a youkai, it's not a strange thing to spit out such a long thread, just like you can cut off a person's head with a single hair!"
"Yes, there is a faint demonic aura on these spider silks, it should be a monster like a spider, don't worry, it's just a little monster!"
Tearing off the spider silk with a wave of his claws, Inuyasha's sensitive nose immediately smelled an extremely faint demonic aura from above, which was able to leave demonic qi on the spider silk, and the other party should be an intermediate youkai.
"Someone!"
Kagome suddenly pointed to the cliff in front of him and shouted.
"Don't come here! Ah......h
There's a girl's voice coming over, and as if she's hiding from something, she retreats in fear, and just as Kagome shouted, she fell off the cliff with a bang.
Inuyasha had noticed when Kagome shouted, and at the moment when the girl stepped into the air, he had already jumped from the bow of the boat towards the cliff, caught the girl who had fallen, and landed firmly on a rock.
"Well received!"
Kagome snapped her fingers with joy, not paying any attention to Inuyasha hugging the girl with the princess.
"Thank you for saving ...... in a critical situation Yes...... Let go of me, damn youkai......"
The rescued girl looked up and was about to thank the benefactor who was holding her, but immediately saw the pair of eye-catching ears on Inuyasha's head, screamed and slapped Inuyasha's head hard.
"Plop!"
Although it didn't hurt, Inuyasha's body was also shook, and his feet slipped and he fell into the river with the girl.
"Damn! Every time you save someone, there is no good thing, Kikyo is, so are you! ”
Inuyasha gripped his wet clothes and muttered frustratedly. Behind him, Kagome and Fence had already lit a bonfire and were talking to the girl who had just been rescued.
"Excuse me...... That dark shadow just now is ......"
"It's a youkai called Spider Head, it seems to have come to this mountain since spring, and it has already attacked several villages, and it lives in the bodies of dead people and eats people, and it is a very despicable youkai!"
The girl glanced at Inuyasha's back again, and it seemed that she had a very big grudge against the youkai, even if the other party was her own savior.
"That's right! Now, Inuyasha, help her! ”
After listening to the girl's words, Kagome's compassion flooded again.
"It's really troublesome, you can solve that kind of miscellaneous monster, although you may not be safe at that time, the Demon Breaking Arrow may not be safe, but the monster can hit such a guy very lightly!"
Although Inuyasha didn't agree openly, the hidden meaning in his words was that there was no objection, and even if Ryaki really couldn't beat him, it would be impossible for Inuyasha not to make a move. However, Fence Wei knows that today is a special day, and at night, she may be the only one who really has combat power, and it seems that she is going to show her foresight ability again.
"Thank you, Inuyasha, then let's go, that ...... Where do you live? ”
"Humph! I don't want the help of the monsters! ”
The girl stubbornly stood up and yelled at Inuyasha, turned around and walked to the edge of the cliff, and climbed up with a vine, but it seemed that the vine was not strong, and when it was not a meter high, it broke off.
"So...... At least let us send you back! ”
…………
"It's the temple over there!"
Walking up the stone stairs, a temple appeared in front of Kagome and the others. The girl who pointed the way nodded when she saw the temple, but her face was very unhappy, because it was the youkai she hated the most who was carrying her now, although this youkai didn't seem to be bad.
Qi ...... Who are those people? ”
As if hearing the sound of talking from outside, the monk in the temple opened the door and immediately saw the girl on Inuyasha's back.
"Monk!"
Seeing the monk appear, the girl immediately broke free from Inuyasha's back and ran away, but because the running caused her sprained foot, she fell to the ground as soon as she came to the monk.
"Huh! Attacked by a spider head? ”
The monk seems to have known what happened to the girl.
"I was going to go to the cemetery, but I actually attracted these evil monsters to the temple, I'm sorry!"
The girl glanced at Inuyasha and Shippo behind her, and lowered her head guiltily.
"Humph! Who is the real evil youkai? ”
"Huh?"
The girl felt that she was suddenly being carried into a familiar embrace, and at the same time, Inuyasha's voice came from her head very close to her, and she immediately came back to her senses, only to realize that she had been picked up by the pesky youkai again.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you monster, I really shouldn't have brought you here!"
"Inuyasha, what are you doing?"
Originally, it was to save people, so Kagome didn't mind Inuyasha hugging other girls at all, but this time it was different, Inuyasha hugged herself and girls other than Kikyo in front of outsiders for no reason, Kagome, who was a real girlfriend, was angry!
"Sister, you misunderstood Inuyasha, he was here to save that girl, this monk is the real youkai, and he is also the leader of those spider heads!"
Although I don't know why Inuyasha's demon power has not weakened, but also different from the original book, he quickly discovered the monk's true body, but this is okay, while Inuyasha's power is still there, it is safer to destroy this monster by himself.
"You already knew about it, why didn't you say it earlier!"
"I just found out when I saw this monk, and this girl may not believe it!"
Fence summoned the Trace of the Waning Moon and explained with a wry smile.
"You guys are talking nonsense, the monk is not a monster, he not only took me in, but also ......"
"Shut up, I didn't intend to help you, an ungrateful woman, but since this monster is standing in front of me, then I'll help you solve it by the way, show me a good look!"
Inuyasha shouted at the long-winded woman in his arms, ready to explain it with facts. Originally, if it was him when he was a monster, even if it wasn't the day of the new moon, he wouldn't have found out that this monk was actually a monster, because this monk actually used spiritual power to cover up the demonic energy in his body, but today is different, on the day of the new moon, it is not only the day when Inuyasha becomes a human being, but also the time when the demonic power in his whole body naturally transforms into spiritual power, and it is also the time when he can freely use the huge spiritual power accumulated in his body to restrain demons and monsters.
At this time, Inuyasha is a human mage whose spiritual power is stronger than that of the former Kikyo, so even if the other party is well disguised, in front of the current Inuyasha, that demonic aura is as eye-catching as a light in the night.
"Ah......h
You don't need to do anything, just let the spiritual power in your body slightly release it towards the monk, and the purifying power of the spiritual power has already forced the monk out. The breeze of spiritual power swept through his body, and the youkai who felt the power to restrain himself had already screamed in pain and regained his true body, a spider as huge as a house.
"Monk! No! You monster dare to invade the monk's body! ”
Seeing that the monk he had always loved had really turned into a huge monster, Qi still couldn't believe it, thinking that it was the monster that invaded the monk's body while he was away.
"Haha! There is no way to find out, Qi, you are really stupid, there are no monks in the first place, all of them are traps I made in order to lure out the half-demon with the fragments of the jade of the four souls, thanks to you I can wait until the arrival of the jade of the four souls! ”
The monster's words shattered Qi's last illusion, and after the goal had been achieved, it no longer needed Qi, a human shield.
"So you killed the villagers!"
"Yes, and your parents, I can't imagine that you have always regarded me, the enemy who killed your family, as a benefactor!"
"Uh......h Damn it! ”
After listening to the cruel truth told by the monk, the girl finally broke down and buried her head deep in Inuyasha's chest and began to cry bitterly.
"Sister! Give me the Jade of the Four Souls! ”
At this time, Li Wei suddenly took out a bottle containing the jade of the four souls from the schoolbag for the bicycle.
"What's wrong?"
"Hey! Since you want the Jade of the Four Souls so much, then I'll give it all to you! ”
Without answering her sister's question, Fence threw the Jade Fragment of the Four Souls towards the Spider-headed Youkai.
"Fence Wei!"
"Don't worry, Liwei must have some ideas, and with me, I can take back the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls at any time!"
Sure enough, during the battle, Inuyasha appeared unusually calm and composed, and he was not panicked at all, completely lacking the clumsiness and simplicity of facing Kagome alone. Hearing Inuyasha's persuasion, and seeing the affirmative eyes of Rywei, Kagome also relieved herself, anyway, her sister would never harm herself.
In fact, the purpose of Fence Wei is very simple, which is to use the spider monster to fuse the fragments of the jade of the four souls into a whole piece, and since things have not developed like the original book, I only need to help myself.
