Chapter 19: Kappa

Although Hu Qianqiu was startled by this sudden movement, he still ran down the mountain quickly, wanting to find out.

Since Hu Qianqiu had previously descended the mountain with the North Star as a reference, this time he also went down to the foot of the mountain in the north, not far from the mountain was the stream where the female corpse was found.

Although the area around which Hu Qianqiu found the body had been cordoned off by the police, the police had already evacuated at this time, but Hu Qianqiu saw another acquaintance.

Different from when she met in the afternoon, the girl changed back to the outfit of Hu Qianqiu and her when they first met, white clothes and scarlet hakama, in addition, the girl also held a wooden knife in her hand, the style was simple, but there were many ornaments on the knife that Hu Qianqiu couldn't understand.

Opposite the girl stood a strange creature, and the two seemed to be facing each other.

The creature was short, no different from a child of eight or nine years old, green all over its body, with a beak with four fangs exposed, a round saucer filled with water, and a turtle's back on its back.

"This is a kappa?"

Although it is a legendary monster, Hu Qianqiu is not too surprised and afraid, after all, since there are ghosts in the world, it is not surprising that there are monsters. It's just that Hu Qianqiu was a little surprised, the kappa is obviously a monster in Japanese legends, why did he run away to China?

When the girl heard the voice behind her, she turned her head and found that it was Hu Qianqiu who appeared behind her at some point, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, and at the same time, she inevitably revealed a flaw.

Naturally, the kappa opposite the girl did not miss this opportunity, and when she opened her beak and spat out, a water balloon the size of a tennis ball erupted from its mouth and shot at the girl.

Hu Qianqiu found that the girl didn't seem to notice the kappa's movements, so she was anxious and hurriedly reminded, "Be careful! ”

After hearing the reminder, the girl immediately turned her head, but at this time, the water balloon was already in front of her, and she couldn't dodge. In desperation, she immediately waved the wooden knife in her hand and slashed at the oncoming water ball, which instantly split in half, and then fell to the ground with a hissing sound, and a rancid smell filled the air.

Although the girl was not hit by the water balloon, she was still divided into two halves and grazed the corner of her clothes, and the piece of clothing also decayed in an instant, emitting a disgusting smell.

The girl wrinkled her head, a little disgust in her heart, and even more palpitations.

Hu Qianqiu was relieved to see that the girl was not injured, but before he could talk to the girl, his heart hung again.

The kappa didn't succeed in the sneak attack, so he would naturally be angry with Hu Qianqiu, who reminded him, and no matter who Hu Qianqiu was, he opened his beak and spit out a series of water balloons at him.

Although Hu Qianqiu was unexpected, his position at this time was far away from the kappa after all, and he still had plenty of time to dodge.

But the kappa seemed to identify Hu Qianqiu, and as Hu Qianqiu ran, it vomited, and it seemed that as long as it didn't hit Hu Qianqiu, it wouldn't stop.

Hu Qianqiu couldn't help but scolded: "Your sister, spit so much saliva, don't you have a dry mouth!" ”

The kappa seemed to not understand, but still vomited, Hu Qianqiu was running in circles, and its head kept turning with Hu Qianqiu.

Hu Qianqiu glanced at the girl behind the kappa, and the other party immediately understood, took out a talisman from his arms, and muttered something in his mouth that Hu Qianqiu didn't understand, and the talisman suddenly burned.

The girl waved her hand holding the talisman upward, and the talisman burned in mid-air, and then she pointed at the kappa, and a huge beam of light condensed at her fingertips, and then shot out in the direction of the kappa.

The range of the beam was so large that even Hu Qianqiu was almost affected, although he didn't know what the beam was, he still didn't dare to touch it, he threw himself to the side, touched the ground with his shoulders and arms, and rolled to the ground, so he barely avoided the beam.

The beam did hit the kappa, and it erupted with a loud sound that sent up a cloud of smoke.

"Ahem......"

Hu Qianqiu stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and looked towards the center of the explosion.

Could it be that both his hands and hands were blown up? Hu Qianqiu couldn't believe it, and just as he was about to step forward to find out, the turtle shell on the ground suddenly stood up, and the kappa's limbs and head slowly stretched out of it.

The girl had just struck a blow, and the kappa was unscathed.

Hu Qianqiu was a little shocked in his heart, and hurriedly ran towards the girl, this kind of thing is better to be dealt with by professionals.

And when the girl saw that the kappa was safe and sound, she said something to herself that Hu Qianqiu didn't understand, but looking at her expression, she seemed to be a little unwilling.

Hu Qianqiu stood with her, looked at her expression, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

The girl didn't turn her head to look at Hu Qianqiu, and said directly, "It's okay." ”

Hu Qianqiu suddenly laughed after hearing this.

The girl was a little surprised, and turned her head to look at him, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Hu Qianqiu said with a smile: "I remember that when we met for the first time last night, you said that you don't talk to people who are dying, and now that you have spoken to me, it seems that I am not so dying." ”

Although the girl has been like frost, she was also amused by Hu Qianqiu's cold humor at this time, and laughed out loud, revealing two shallow dimples.

Although Hu Qianqiu had many doubts in his heart, this was not the time for idle talk after all, he looked at the direction of the kappa, and at this time the kappa's head and limbs had been fully stretched out, and it looked at the two people standing together, revealing an angry expression.

The kappa took his short steps and rushed towards the two of them, and before Hu Qianqiu could make any moves, the girl next to him took the lead in rushing towards the running kappa.

"It's really raw......"

The girl raised her arm to block, and one of her arms was instantly cut off by the wooden knife and fell to the ground, turning into a puddle of pus.

The kappa let out a scream, but the broken arm grew out in an instant, and the girl was unmoved, slashing at the kappa, dodging left and right, and spit out water balloons at the girl from time to time.

Hu Qianqiu looked at the two sides of the battle in front, a little stupid, it might be okay to ask him to fight with people, but he is really not good at fighting this kind of humanoid monster, and if he rushes forward, maybe he will cause chaos for girls.

Hu Qianqiu complained a little, why did there be such a big movement under the mountain, but Henghao and Xuan Qingzi on the mountain have not come down to find out the situation, if Xuan Qingzi comes, with his ability, he can probably solve this kappa casually.

But now, Hu Qianqiu can only be in a hurry.

The girl and the kappa had a wonderful fight, her knife swung faster and faster, and her body was also elegant, like a butterfly flying up and down, the kappa's limbs were constantly cut off by her, and she kept reborn, as if it could continue to grow, and the girl kept taking out some talismans to assist in the battle, but it was still to no avail.

Hu Qianqiu observed the battle situation attentively, and gradually noticed something, every time the kappa's limbs were cut off by the girl and reborn, the water in the dish above his head would be reduced, and the saucer that was almost full of water was only half of the water at this time.

In the flash of light, Hu Qianqiu made his own inference and shouted: "Its weakness may be the saucer on its head!" ”

The girl didn't stop her movements after hearing this, and she didn't even show a surprised expression, but just said lightly, "I know." ”

Hu Qianqiu was a little helpless, it seemed that he was doing too much.

The kappa was entangled with the girl, and he himself was a little flustered, and after spitting a mouthful of water at the girl, he successfully forced the girl back, and then jumped into the stream on the side.

The moment the kappa meets the stream, its body seems to turn into a puddle of water, blending with the stream, and it is difficult to find a trace.

The girl looked at the stream, trimmed her eyebrows and frowned slightly, Hu Qianqiu saw this, and when she wanted to step forward to take a look, the girl suddenly scolded: "Don't come here!" Hu Qianqiu had no choice but to stop abruptly.

After a while, the stream suddenly began to tumble violently, as if it were boiling water, and then three bowl-thick columns of water burst out of the stream and shot straight at the girl by the stream.

The girl had expected this, and jumped back to avoid the three water columns, which hit the ground with a loud "boom", stirring up a water mist, and when the water mist dissipated, only a deep pit the size of a basin was left on the ground.

Before the girl could relax, several more columns of water burst out of the stream and attacked her, and the girl dodged while observing the stream carefully, as if looking for something.

After dodging the attack of the water column again, the girl suddenly jumped high and jumped into the stream, the tip of the knife pointed downward, and plunged into the stream, and then a terrifying scream came from the stream, and several water columns that had just emerged from the water also collapsed instantly.

The girl pulled out the wooden sword inserted into the bottom of the stream, swung it to the side, shook off the water droplets on it, and walked onto the shore.

"It's over?" Hu Qianqiu saw her coming over and asked suspiciously.

The girl nodded, sneered, and said in a strange accent: "It thought it would be safe to hide in the water, but I didn't expect me to be able to find the location where it was hiding. ”

Hu Qianqiu nodded, this girl is really powerful, it seems that her previous speculation was really correct, and listening to the girl's strange accent, remembering the words she said before that she didn't understand, a thought came to her mind, "Are you Japanese?" ”

The girl was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Hu Qianqiu nodded, it's no wonder that the kappa was originally a monster in Japanese legends, so the girl who fought with it and was very familiar with it was naturally very likely to be from Japan.

Although Hu Qianqiu was no longer surprised by the existence of kappa, he was very strange, why did the Japanese monster and this girl from Japan appear in China at the same time?
