Chapter Eighty-Three: A Monster Hidden in the Shadows

After supper, when there was nothing to do, the people were ready to rest.

Because of the reason why he saw a lot of dead people today, Xia Ruo was not in the mood to chat with Tsubaki at night, and he was still in the temple, so he didn't feel in the mood.

It's just that when Xia Ruo was about to find a room to sleep in, Tsubaki stopped Xia Ruo.

"The youkai who attacked the temple may not have gone far yet, if you sleep in another room, if there is danger, it is not easy for me to take care of you, you can sleep in the same room with me."

"Okay."

Xia Ruo nodded and agreed, anyway, I have slept in a tent, and there is nothing to sleep in a room, anyway, I have a sleeping bag.

Night soon came, and while everyone was asleep, in the woods outside the temple, there was a pair of evil eyes, full of resentment, staring in the direction of the temple.

"Damn witch, hunted me down for so long and cursed me, I've had enough, you're all going to die."

"I'm going to let you die in agony!"

A gust of wind blew, and the resentful eyes of the woods vanished.

Under the moon, it was as if there was nothing there just now.

……

Early the next morning.

Everyone got up, Xia Ruo met Kikyo when he was washing, and the two just nodded and said hello, after all, Kikyo is also a very cold person, and he didn't communicate much.

The youkai who attacked the temple were not caught in the end, but Tsubaki seemed to have a guess, and she felt that the way the temple monk died was a bit like the youkai she had been hunting down.

Tsubaki learned when she talked to Kikyo before, and the youkai that Kikyo was chasing and killing had the same goal as her, and the two finally discussed it and prepared to cooperate to pursue the fierce youkai together.

Tsubaki also discussed it with Xia Ruo, and Xia Ruo did not refuse, after all, it is important to eliminate demons.

According to them, what they have been hunting down is a very mysterious monster, no one knows what the body is, human body type, can disguise itself as a human to live among ordinary people, like to transform into various forms, mixed with human beings to eat people's monsters.

High concealment, high level of escape, and high level of danger.

Tsubaki could still be tracked by a curse before.,But one day it's suddenly not good.,In order to completely eradicate this monster.,Tsubaki and Kikyo chose to cooperate.。

In this way, the original two-person tour team increased to four.

……

Riverside.

Because of the reason for lunch, Xia Ruo went to the river to fetch water, but on the way to fetch water, Xia Ruo seemed to hear something.

"There's a monster, help!"

"Help!"

A cry for help could be heard in the distance.

Xia Ruo immediately put down the things in his hand, and let Tom, who came with him, go back to report the news, and rush towards the place where the cry for help came, although Kikyo and Tsubaki are not far from here, but now that he goes back to find them, he will definitely delay time.

His own strength is not weak now, and he has the ability to travel through time and space, so he is not afraid.

Xia Ruo clenched the knife in his hand.

Following the direction from which the screams came, Xia Ruo ran for a while and finally found the source of the screams.

As far as the eye can see, there is a wide road and corpses strewn across the road, and then several humanoid monsters are killing people like crazy.

Those monsters don't seem to be powerful, they are the little monsters at the bottom, but ordinary humans have no means to threaten them at all, so they can only be slaughtered casually.

Xia Ruo looked at the scene in front of him, and his brain instantly analyzed what had just happened here.

A caravan encounters a youkai during transport.

By this time, most of the caravan guards were dead, and the remaining living were either running or slumped on the ground, as if they had given up resistance.

The bloodthirsty youkai still had blood in his mouth and a cruel smile on his face, for the youkai, these ordinary humans are just food.

"Haha, I haven't eaten yet."

In an instant, a youkai pounced on a middle-aged man who had fallen to the ground, and that middle-aged man was dressed well and seemed to be the leader of the caravan.

"Stop!"

Xia Ruo couldn't sit idly by, and directly drew his knife, and his fastest speed instantly exploded under his feet, blocking the front of the human before the monster's attack.

With a slash, the monster didn't notice Xia Ruo who suddenly appeared, and his head was directly cut off.

"Huh? Where did the samurai come from? ”

The rest of the monsters saw Xia Ruo, who killed one of their kind as soon as he made a move, and there was not the slightest fear on their faces, but the killing intent on their faces became heavier, as if they were stimulated by blood, and several monsters instantly surrounded Xia Ruo.

"No matter where you are a samurai, you can't run away alive today!"

"I'm going to eat you!"

After the little monster who surrounded Xia Ruo shouted a few words, he did it to Xia Ruo without saying a word, but the ordinary little monster is an ordinary little monster after all, but his physical fitness is much stronger than that of humans, but under Xia Ruo's knife, none of them can survive a knife.

In less than three seconds, Xia Ruo retracted the knife.

The three monsters that had just besieged had all died under Xia Ruo's sword.

Seeing that the monster that was so cruel just now was killed lightly by the person who suddenly appeared, the members of the caravan who were still alive were stunned for a while, and then they all cried, as if they didn't expect that they would be able to survive.

"Thank you, Samurai-sama, for saving me!"

"Thank you, Samurai-sama."

……

There were probably six or seven members of the caravan who hadn't died yet, and among them, the middle-aged man who had just been directly saved by Xia Ruo walked in front of Xia Ruo with sweat and thanked him all the time.

"Thanks to the samurai-sama who rescued me, if it weren't for the samurai-sama, then we would all die here, I really didn't expect that after running this road for so long, there would be youkai today."

"It's okay, it's just a gesture," Xia Ruo waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to thank him anymore.

But at this moment, the curtain on one of the caravans' carriages suddenly opened.

After Xia Ruo noticed it, he turned his head to look over, he didn't notice just now that in the caravan full of goods, there was actually a carriage carrying people in the middle.

From the carriage, an extremely beautiful woman walked out, that woman was wearing a peach-colored gorgeous costume and light makeup on her face, but judging from her appearance, she was even a little more beautiful than the snake demon Xia Ruo had seen before.

The beautiful woman's movements were not hurried, from the point of view of bearing, it was not like an ordinary woman, the woman glanced at Xia Ruo, I don't know why, after seeing Xia Ruo's face, the woman's face was slightly flushed, and she bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Lord Samurai, for saving me, Lord Samurai can go home with me, and my father will definitely be grateful at that time."

"I don't need to use this."

Xia Ruo noticed that Tsubaki and Kikyo seemed to have come over.
