Chapter 20 Coming to the Demon Eradication Village
The day after Kikyo took the Jade of the Four Souls, Inuyasha came to the legendary Demon Slayer Village.
"Oh! Looks like a lot of youkai died! ”
From afar, Inuyasha felt the death and resentment of a large number of youkai coming from the village, and he couldn't help but sigh again that this demon extermination village was indeed worthy of its reputation, not only the huge number of dead youkai, but also the aura of top-level youkai that even exuded inside.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Inuyasha, who was close to the Demon Eradication Village, felt a demonic aura that soared into the sky, shaking him to the ground.
"What a terrifying demonic aura, such a huge demonic aura, so ...... Pure demonic energy! ”
This kind of demonic aura is the first time Inuyasha has seen it, and judging from the taste, this demonic aura is only left here, because Inuyasha has not found any aura and fluctuations in the village such as the artifact of the Yatsuya Mirror.
But it was this that shocked Inuyasha even more.
It's not an artifact, but it has a demonic power far beyond the artifact, and this power is very perfect, almost endless.
"It's funny to find such an interesting thing in a place like this!"
If I just wanted to see the hometown where my former companions lived, then now Inuyasha himself has a strong interest in this demon slaying village, especially Inuyasha also senses that there is a strange barrier on the hill behind the village in front of him, blocking his peep. From there, Inuyasha could clearly feel a strong wave of emotion.
Sadness, loneliness, persistence, and never-hope!
This is a woman, and it is also a woman whose strength is far greater than herself, a divine thought left behind.
"It seems that the origin of this demon slaying village is not simple!"
Inuyasha looked at the smoked demon village meaningfully, and decided to stay first, sneak in at night and take a closer look, the strange demonic aura, and the place in the back mountain that is shrouded by the enchantment.
It was soon evening, and after the smoke cleared, everyone in the demon village had finished their dinner and returned home to rest, and Inuyasha took advantage of the night to start preparing for action.
However, Inuyasha didn't know it, his arrival was already known to the leader of the demon village, although they didn't have mana, but the leader raised a youkai whose sense of smell and perception was not under the dog monster - mica, although she didn't feel Inuyasha's restrained demonic energy, but she smelled Inuyasha's scent. Mica is a cat demon who senses canine monsters as an innate instinct, aware of the almost irresistible threat posed by Inuyasha. The restless mica gives the owner a warning of danger. And the owner of the mica, the leader of the Demon Eradication Village, the shrimp cricket.
"Village Chief! Hasn't the Jade of the Four Souls been taken away by Lord Kikyo, why do you have to strengthen your vigilance, since we got the Jade of the Four Souls, the village has been attacked continuously, and the monster not long ago has already caused us a lot of casualties, so it's rare to take a little rest today, and ......"
"Something may happen tonight, Mica's reaction is much stronger than the top-level monster that chased the Jade Breath of the Four Souls last time, and today's enemy may be even more powerful than last time. That's why I saw everyone gathered, let's be patient now, the evil spirit of the Jade of the Four Souls hasn't dissipated yet, so I'm afraid we can't relax in the past few days, just wait for this time! ”
Shrimp Cricket explained in time, interrupting the complaint of the demon slayer below, now is not the time to relax, in order to avoid greater losses, he can only force these tired subordinates to work hard.
"Dingding......
As if to verify his words, after a while, the alarm bell rang, shocking the village chief and the group of demon slayers.
"It's coming!"
At this time, Inuyasha stood by the trap triggered by himself, with a helpless expression on his face, he didn't expect that their vigilance at night was even tighter than during the day, and Inuyasha himself was a little careless, and after dodging more than a dozen traps, he still accidentally triggered an alarm, but Inuyasha was very puzzled, the other party seemed to know that he was coming, and it was obvious that he had been prepared.
Now that he has been discovered, Inuyasha doesn't want to hide anymore, this is his self-esteem as a strong man.
After a short time, the leader of the demon slayer village, Shrimp Cricket, led a large group of demon slayer masters to surround Inuyasha. And Inuyasha finally knew why he was found after seeing the mica next to the shrimp cricket surrounded by the demon exterminator.
"I can't imagine that there is a monster with such a strong perception in the demon removal village, and it is also a strange cat demon! No wonder you seem to be prepared, but if you can deal with me, I'm not one of those little monsters who were killed by you and made into weapons. ”
Needless to say, the demon slayer who surrounded Inuyasha also knew that this guy in front of them was not easy to deal with, and they had never found that Mica was so scared after being used to fighting mica. Although Mica tried her best to bare her teeth and yell at Inuyasha, Inuyasha was the most dangerous youkai she had encountered since she left Emeral, and the current demon slayer definitely didn't have anyone to fight him, so Mica's expression was a little sluggish.
"What are yours doing in our demon slaying village? Is it here to destroy us? I don't remember messing with you! ”
The shrimp cricket pulled out the flying bone from behind him, carefully guarding Inuyasha, who could only barely deal with a medium youkai, and was obviously a little afraid of Inuyasha, who was at least a top-level youkai. But what he feared was not his own death, but the killing of his villagers and their families by the boy in front of him, who looked like a sixteen-year-old. Since obtaining the Jade of the Four Souls, the village has been attacked by monsters, especially the top-level monster not long ago, and it has lost most of the village's elite combat power before it can kill him. However, as time passed, the youkai already knew that the Jade of the Four Souls was already in the hands of the shrine maiden Kikyo, so the number of harassments had become less and less.
Soon, when the aura of the Four Souls Jade is completely gone, they can also return to their previous peaceful life! Although the losses have been heavy recently, ordinary youkai have not been able to pose much of a threat to them.
However, they must first get past the hurdle in front of them.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you, it's just...... It's just that I'm a little interested in the thing that left such a pure demonic aura. Of course, there is also the strange cave in the back mountain, which seems to be interesting inside! ”
Inuyasha has now regained his original outfit, wearing the same fire rat robe that his mother left for him, plus he didn't wear a hat, revealing his full head of silver hair, except for the mark of the waning moon pinned to his waist, the characteristics of the Silver Moon Sword Saint are not visible at all. Therefore, he did not intend to reveal his identity to the demon slayers, although even if they knew, they would definitely not reveal it.
"You're also coming for the Jade of the Four Souls!"
The shrimp cricket quickly held the flying bone behind him to his chest, stared at Inuyasha with a nervous expression, and said in a deep voice.
The demon slayer behind him also raised their weapons one after another, vigilantly observing Inuyasha's every move. However, their ugly expressions and sluggish movements all showed that they were physically and mentally exhausted, and they were completely bluffing.
"The Jade of the Four Souls? What is that! ”
As soon as he heard Inuyasha's words, the shrimp cricket knew what had happened, and he ...... Lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. The monster in front of him didn't know the existence of the jade of the four souls at all, he should just be attracted by the demonic energy left by the jade of the four souls, if he knew, he could still use other excuses to shirk it, but now.
Shrimp Cricket shook his head with a wry smile, seeing Inuyasha with great interest, knowing that it was useless to say anything now, get ready to fight!
"I see, Jade of the Four Souls! Its name is the Jade of the Four Souls! ”
From the reaction of the shrimp cricket and the others, Inuyasha immediately came to his senses. Lowered his head and swept towards the corpse of the monster in the distance that had not been completely cleaned up, and said clearly.
"Then these monsters must also be here for the Jade of the Four Souls! I think it's strange that even if the demon slayer is the enemy of the youkai, these guys can't be so stupid to send them to death, and even the big youkai have come to your demon slayer's village. They're also here for the Jade of the Four Souls! ”
"You're right, I did take the Jade of the Four Souls, but because that thing was too dangerous and useless to us, we threw it away!"
If a fight can be avoided, Shrimp Cricket still doesn't want to be an enemy of Inuyasha, who is unfathomably powerful. But the shrimp cricket doesn't want to expose the bellflower to Inuyasha, although he believes in the strength of the bellflower, but he doesn't know what Inuyasha's strength is, in case the other party is more powerful than the bellflower, then he is equivalent to sending a lifeline to the bellflower.
"It's okay if you don't say it, since there is indeed such a thing as the Jade of the Four Souls, then I will always find its ......"
Inuyasha didn't expose the shrimp crickets, after all, they are the descendants of acquaintances, and with Inuyasha's pride, it is impossible to take action against these weak and evil humans.
"Hahahaha! No wonder there's no one outside, they all hid here, kill me! ”
Suddenly, a strange laugh suddenly sounded, interrupting Inuyasha's words, and Inuyasha, who was facing the demon slayer, had already seen the source of the sound, a group of youkai had fallen from the sky and pounced from behind the demon slayer, and the other miscellaneous yokai were also ready to attack the women and children in those houses.
At this time, most of the demon slayers were surrounding Inuyasha, and there was no time to rescue, and they themselves were unable to protect themselves, and in a hurry, they could not face the middle and high-level monsters attacking them in time.
Seeing such a scene, the village chief was completely stunned, because he thought that this might be a conspiracy, with the strongest monster in front to attract the attention of the demon exterminator, while the army was raiding in the back, and if this continues, maybe the demon exterminator will be removed today.
Seeing the village chief looking at him with extremely angry eyes, Inuyasha also understood that the village chief probably misunderstood! Indeed, the timing of these monsters was too coincidental, just when the demon slayers were unprepared and used most of their combat power to surround themselves.
With a bitter smile to himself, Inuyasha had to pull out the trace of the waning moon. Not to mention that they encountered this unfavorable situation because they were attracted to them, and since they were still the descendants of their former companions, Inuyasha had to take action.
"Sure enough, it's you!"
Seeing Inuyasha draw his weapon, the village chief confirmed his conjecture and immediately held his hands at Inuyasha with both hands, and at the same time ordered:
"Hurry up and prepare to meet the enemy, this guy will be handed over to me, go and rescue the children and women first!"
"I can't tell you now, let me explain it with practical actions, although it wasn't my intention, but it was indeed because of me that you showed such a big flaw!"
Inuyasha jumped onto the roof behind him, and shouted at the huge group of youkai in front of him:
"Moonlight - Twenty flashes!"
The move that once completely destroyed a castle reappeared, but this time the moonlight did not cut through dead objects, but hundreds of youkai.
"Ah...... ......Shh Cross-la-......"
The moonlight that gradually moved away became bigger and bigger, and when it came to the monsters, it had completely enveloped all the monsters, the heavens, the ground, and the ones that were about to pounce on the house, and all the monsters' bodies were instantly cut by the moonlight in front of them. The moonlight that followed behind would cut the body in two again, and the twenty huge moonlights would tear the group of monsters who were about to destroy the demon village to shreds in a short time.
The corpses and blood of countless yokai rained down on the roofs and on the ground.
The village chief was the first to wake up from the shock, turned to look at Inuyasha, and muttered:
"Silver Moon Sword Master!"
"Oh! You even know this nickname! ”
In order to avoid embarrassment, Inuyasha did not reveal that he already knew that the shrimp crickets were the descendants of their former companions.
"Maybe you don't remember, my ancestors were once saved by you!"
The shrimp cricket looked at Inuyasha with a strange look on his face, of course Inuyasha knew why, because people had always thought that the Silver Moon Sword Master was a human, but they didn't expect his true identity to be a youkai, but they still didn't know that Inuyasha was actually a half-demon.
"Oh! You are the descendants of the group of demon slayers who fought with me in the first place, no wonder I have always heard the name demon slayer familiar to me! ”
Inuyasha pretended to have a look of sudden realization, and clapped his hands as if he was remembering.
"Since you are an adult, please rest here for a few days, and we want to thank you for saving our village!"
Seeing the grateful and adoring eyes of the shrimp cricket and the other demon slayers, Inuyasha had no choice but to agree, although he was not good at communicating with strange humans, but for the jade of the four souls, as well as the strange enchantment, Inuyasha was still very curious. G
