Chapter 736: Helpful
"Huh? There seems to be a cottage in front.,It should be the demon slayer village you said before......"
Didn't pay much attention to the things on the side of the Far East, the monster was driving the galloping divine horse at the moment, falling a little higher from the higher part of the sea of clouds in the sky, and just like that, the two of them directly overlooked the mountains and rivers below from a height of 10,000 meters. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoI saw strange mountains standing tall, mountains continuous, verdant and steep, clouds and mist, winding rivers and undulating mountains embedded in the sky, which seemed extraordinarily magnificent.
Then Pei Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the silhouette of a very conspicuous huge building that appeared at the end of the earth in the distance, and whispered.
- The fortifications of the ring wooden fence, simple wooden houses built along the hillside, are a very large cottage.
Holding up a slender and white palm, blocking the dazzling sunlight shining directly from the side, the bellflower carefully recognized it and nodded slightly.
"That's right, that's exactly there...... It is a retreat for demon slayers, and the people who live in this village have lived by exorcising demons for generations. You see, there are no other villages in the vicinity, because the nearby villages are actually merged into the village......"
"I can understand this, just look at their fortifications...... Directly making a fence out of thick logs juxtaposed is not a small number of manpower and material resources-" Pei Chen stretched out a finger and scratched his cheek, "And surround all the geographical points around it, leaving no gaps, unless they don't eat or drink, it will be the result of the efforts of several generations." To such an extent, if they are facing a great enemy, I am afraid that they have a real undying relationship with the monsters in the surrounding mountains, forests and waters, right? β
ββ¦β¦ That's right, since it's a generational demon eradication, it's natural to form a bond with the monster, and there are no other scattered villages nearby for this reason. β
With a slight bow, the witch lowered her eyebrows, and said softly in a tone that could not explain the specific emotions: "So if they can't gather, this radius of a hundred miles will be easily wiped out by the monsters who are seeking revenge, and fortunately, no big monsters care about these things, otherwise this village would have been eradicated long ago." β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Shall we go over and take a walk? β¦β¦ There should also be fragments of the Four Souls Jade in the stockade, and the number is about ...... Well, there are two or three fragments overlapping, and it's hard to sense the exact number, but there are at least four jade fragments there. It's really hard to talk about this topic, Pei Chen blinked and thought about it, and suddenly smiled.
The shrine maiden hesitated slightly, then sighed softly and said, "Then let it goβit is also for their good." β
The fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls must be collected, there is no room for roundabouts, and those things left in the demon slayer village are also a scourge, which will inevitably attract countless demons and monsters to snatch them. In this way, the future outcome is basically predictable, and there will be another wave after a wave is repulsed, and sooner or later there will be an enemy who is powerless to resist in the demon slayer village.
- Maybe it's the tide of monsters that are so large that they can't resist, or maybe it's the big monster that breaks through the sky with a single strength and slaughters the city with one blow, or the existence of the big monster that is infinitely close to it. Anyway, when that time really comes, even if a whole modern army armed to the teeth is stationed here, it will have to be killed in a matter of moments.
In this way, what can such a small demon exterminator village, coupled with a village with no more than 1,000 old, weak, women and children? I'm afraid that if I can't even turn the waves, I will be wiped off the map......
However, maybe it was really just such a coincidence, and the mutation suddenly happened.
"Huh, waitβ"
was about to drive the demon horse to speed forward, but Pei Chen stopped again, with a puzzled look on his face: "What a strong demonic aura......"
Kikyo also frowned slightly, staring at the end of the western horizon, a large black oppressive cloud appeared at an incredible speed, and then surged up like a tide. It was a large group of low-level monsters hidden in the clouds, and the number was very large, with an undoubted murderous aura, and the goal was clear, pressing towards the village of demon slayers.
"What an amazing murderous ......," Kikyo muttered, his face a little ugly.
Pei Chen pondered for a while, stared at the black cloud composed of monsters that was rapidly approaching the demon slayer village, and said, "Maybe it's a conspiracy of Naraku, I originally thought that it would be like the original plot, when the night will those monster armies be killed...... Hmm, in advance? Forget it, the situation is so chaotic anyway, I don't expect the time to be right......"
He glanced at the shrine maiden in his arms, and reached a consensus in an instant.
Here's your chance!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The response of the demon exterminator village is very fast, after all, all the people are soldiers, even the old and weak women and children can work part-time as a special cottage of the demon exterminator when necessary, and they can become the only armed separatist force within a radius of 100 miles in the harsh environment surrounded by demons, and they are naturally not vegetarians.
After all, on weekdays, there will be monsters coming to attack the village every once in a while, but most of the time the result will only be cleaned and quickly cooked by them, and a few monsters will not be able to turn the sky at all. It can be said that most of the time they kill a wave of attacking monsters directly without injury, and only a few times there will be people who are injured because of carelessness, carelessness, contempt for the enemy, etc.......
In the case of fatalities or injuries, it is a very small chance of occurring.
- It's just that that's usual, but this time the youkai are really ...... There are too many, so many that it makes people powerless and desperate.
In addition, not long ago, the main forces in the village happened to receive a demon eradication mission, and went to the only nearby city to see the city, and they haven't come back yet, so it can be said that now is the time when the village's defenses are the most empty......
When the personnel who stayed behind saw the cloud of black monsters pressing over, more than half of them were almost in despair, and they couldn't raise much of a resistance at all, like a frog on the laboratory dissecting table, waiting to be killed just for a quick death. After all, it is impossible to stop it at all, even if children, the elderly, and women are dragged into battle, they will definitely be slaughtered.
Why, why...... Why didn't there be any warning of the gathering of monsters this time?!
β¦β¦
In the forest of another mountain peak, a figure dressed in silver-white baboon fur squatted in the hidden bushes, indifferently looking at the legion composed of a huge number of low-level monsters, directly pressed into the sky above the cottage, and then sneered, muttering to himself: "In this way, the jade of the four souls of the village is mine...... Well, do you want to blame Inuyasha on this matter......"
For the latter sentence, I maintain an attitude of affirmation and encouragement! Naraku-san. β
A voice suddenly came, and the figure in silver-white baboon skin was startled, and then before he could react, he was caught in his chest by a long-bladed naginata that appeared out of nowhere, turning into a thunderous and swift naginata, and in a flash, it had penetrated into his chest, nailing himself to the trunk of the big tree behind him!!
Violent winds of unimaginable intensity followed, and as if a huge hurricane was exploding in front of it, the howling strong air flow tore through the vacuum, and it directly swept away all the trees and ground in a straight line. The entire hill where this place is located, once covered in lush ancient trees, has suddenly appeared an ugly, bare 'scar'.
ββThis horseback charge and slashing in one go, it was almost an incredible flash of thunder, and Himaru was generally unable to react to Naraku, and Pei Chen had already nailed the other party with a knife from the sky!!
Demon Horse Flame Hoof flies in the air, and its own speed can reach more than 300 kilometers per hour, and after being equipped with the reins of the Mutant Treasure Riding Hero, all abilities have been increased by one level, and the speed can be stably maintained at more than 400 kilometers per hour, which is still the norm rather than an explosive state. Some people may not understand what kind of concept such a speed is, but even if it is only 300 kilometers per hour, if it is relative to a car, the speed at this level is simply maddening-
If you move the steering wheel, you may overturn, and if you continue to speed up, the car may even be swept up by the air current!
You must know that the initial speed of the average aircraft take-off is only 270 kilometers, and it is impossible for the average person's nervous reaction ability to keep up, and the vision can only see a little bit of gaze, and the surrounding area will become blurred...... To put it bluntly, it's not that it's driving too fast, it's flying too low, and it's almost flying with wings attached.
"You!! β¦β¦ Who is it? The voice was so stunned that he couldn't react.
The straight line on the hill was bare ground, and only a large tree that had been blown away from its branches stood alone, and a man in baboon's skin was pierced into the heart with a long-bladed naginata and nailed to the equally bare trunk. The red-eyed monster in Tsing Yi held the handle of the naginata knife with one hand, and looked coldly at Naraku, who was killed by himself in one instant, revealing a mocking smile.
"Of course I am...... I'm here to kill you.,Naraku-san-that's right.,I'm the Discipline Committee member of the 177 branch of the school city, Shirai Hei...... Eh, forget it, it doesn't seem appropriate to pretend to be that lily maniac! The monster who subconsciously ran the train with his mouth full suddenly stopped, pinched his chin and pondered and then decisively changed his words, and his eyes actually flashed a look of disgust for the sunspot who was almost stolen by himself.
Under him, he kept snorting, and a group of demon fire was born under his hooves, and the demon horse Yan Hoof suspended in mid-air seemed to be very excited about his explosive speed. Now, in addition to spraying demon fire, it has another means of attack, that is, a physical attack that shatters the target with a super-high-speed rush. Like a white comet, it can sweep away a wide range of armies...... Just now, the owner accelerated with the help of its sudden force, and completed the killing process with one knife.
"......" Naraku.
This kind of thing is too sudden, and he's just a puppet clone, essentially a puppet clone created by a witchcraft doll with a few hairs wrapped around its body as a medium. So it's normal to have no power to fight back at all, but what really makes him care is, who is this guy? What exactly is it to stop yourself?
Now it seems that the first question has not been answered, but the second question is probably already known: the other party seems to be an inexplicable psychopath......
"It's a pity......" Naraku sighed softly, not too concerned, he was already unable to maintain his body now. After all, it's just a puppet clone, and it's not distressing if it's gone, at most, the jade of the four souls that has been planning for so long can't get it, but it doesn't matter, as long as the news is passed back, and the matter of slaughtering the village will be pressed on the head of this monster, with the help of the power of the demon slayer to cause a little trouble to the other party, and you can also force out a little clue from the other party......
It turns out that not all monsters can recognize Pei Chen, just like the witch was born fifty years after the arrival of the monster's true body, although she has heard the legend in this area, she has not been able to correspond to the monster she met later-Pei Chen in the past. And Naraku, who was born later than Kikyo, is even more impossible to know.,It's just that it's impossible to identify a real person after hearing the legend.γ
Of course, even the monsters that have existed in this world more than a hundred years ago are not all as eye-catching as Dao Dao Zhai. In addition, Pei Chen is still an incarnation, which is slightly different from the body, for example, the pupil of the clock, which is different from ordinary people, has not been reflected in him, and ...... Ergouzi is obviously the kind of guy who doesn't have a long memory, and he didn't recognize his true identity at all, and he still has the dream of mastering the wound of the wind and then counterattacking back and slapping his face smoothly......
ββ¦β¦οΌοΌβ
Naraku's body suddenly stiffened, and even though he was nailed to a tree, he could clearly feel the tightness of his body.
The cottage in the distance was about to be flooded and bulldozed by the monster army like a tide, but it was not expected that the arrows would suddenly fall like rain, and I don't know how many arrows condensed by spiritual power, with holy light and gorgeous light and shadow effects, accurately fell from the sky and pierced the body of each monster.
The huge spiritual power light burst out directly in mid-air, like a small sun, and the dazzling holy light swayed, and when it dissipated, the sky was clear, and even a monster could no longer be seen.
Mo said that it was those stunned villagers, and even Naraku's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked in the direction where the attack was issued.
Pitch-black eyes, melon seed face, delicate and beautiful facial features, white on the top and red on the bottom of the witch costume, and a long jet-black hair like a waterfall is scattered down, fluttering slightly in the wind......
"Uh-huhββ?" The voice was lengthened, and the youkai's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. Through his psychic abilities, he could easily read the complex mental activity of the guy in front of him, from astonishment, surprise, and disbelief, to the rapidly surging emotions of greed, possession, jealousy, etc., which were only for a moment.
This made him extremely unhappy, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, and with a flip of his wrist, he had easily shattered the other party's heart, that is, the witchcraft doll with his hair entangled, thus speeding up the death of the other party.
Naro snorted coldly, and the form under the baboon's fur seemed to quickly dissipate and collapse in half, specifically like a balloon that suddenly leaked and quickly deflated. A large amount of purple poisonous miasma overflowed from under the baboon's fur, and it was so fast that it was like enveloping the entire mountain in just a few breaths. The surrounding flowers and trees were dyed with a layer of ash at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then quickly withered and died, and the breeze blew and turned into flying ashes.
Seeing this, the witch under the mountain raised her eyebrows and subconsciously opened her bow and arrows again, wanting to purify the miasma on the mountain with an arrow, but saw that the miasma paused strangely, and then seemed to be bound by an invisible and intangible force field, but it was actually there, and it quickly retracted or was squeezed back, condensed into a little and almost turned into a substantial purple-black poison bead.
"How dare you keep in touch with the ontology? Want to get the message back? The monster sneered, with playful cruelty, "Let me give you a big gift, miscellaneous!" β
Reaching out and grabbing the purple-black poison bead that had condensed into substance, he looked at the baboon fur that fell down, and the witchcraft puppet nailed to the trunk by his long-bladed naginata, the puppet was burning rapidly, and there was not much black hair left. Pei Chen showed a smile that made people a little suffocated, and even felt trembling.
The purple-black beads in his hand were essentially the capture and compression of Naraku's miasma, but at this moment, they suddenly collapsed again, as if they had no fixed form but had been incredibly active, and the purple-black mist tentacles continued to spread around, opening their teeth and dancing claws, writhing very strangely.
Materialized ...... Curse.
The 'curse' was engraved by the power of the mind to erode the soul of the 'evil' and the spirit of words, and then jumped high in the monster's hand, turning into a purple-black vicious light, and slashed straight towards the witchcraft puppet with black hair! Just as the moment of the moment, before the witchcraft puppet and the black strands of hair were about to burn out, the ominous light of the 'curse' slashed down on it.
Then, there is no then.
The puppet entangled in the power of the spell burned in the air, leaving nothing behind, and the 'cursed' blade seemed to be submerged in it, as if a blade fell straight into the water, and was swallowed by the water, as if nothing had happened.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Musashi country, people see the city.
"Are you awake?" A slightly soft, man's voice that made people feel good when he heard it sounded.
The girl with a delicate and beautiful face opened her eyes slightly, and then stared straight ahead with blank eyes, as if she hadn't heard the young city lord talking to her at all. Several of the retainers and warriors around him were immediately dissatisfied, and the oldest one of them lowered his face and said angrily: "Demon Slayer! Why not answer the words of the young master! β
"Forget it......" Seeing that the Yin Dao softly stopped his behavior, he retreated by the way: "Everyone retreat." β
"But ......"
"I have something to say to this girl alone."
"Okay......" The retainer replied helplessly, and glared at Coral viciously as he withdrew, as if to warn her not to act rashly or anything. It's a pity that the girl is seriously injured now, and her mind seems to have suffered a heavy blow, but she bites her lip and doesn't know what she is thinking, so she doesn't notice his eyes at all.
People see that Yin Dao has long hair like seaweed and a handsome face, judging from the attitude of his subordinates towards him, he should be a benevolent lord. Wearing a light blue kimono, he knelt in his room and whispered to the demon slayer girl in front of him, "Your name is Sango, isn't it?" I'm sorry, but your father, brother, and companions are ...... Of all the demon slayers, you are the only one who survived. β
ββ¦β¦β
Although she had known this fact for a long time, the girl still couldn't suppress the sorrow in her heart, and she felt like her heart was about to tear open, and she was dripping blood.
Why......
Why is this happening?!
"......" Seeing Yin Dao quietly staring at her, there was pity and sympathy in his eyes, but he couldn't help but marvel in his heart, this girl's vitality was really strong, and she was so badly injured that she could still crawl out by herself if she was buried in the soil.
"Young master......" At this time, a voice came from the courtyard outside the door.
Seeing the Yin Knife, he raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded at Coral with a calm look in his eyes, got up and opened the door and walked out, and after a while, the sound of the two of them talking softly came in from outside the door.
"Naraku?"
"Yes...... I obey your orders and hurry up to get rid of the demon master's village and report the bad news...... But it was too late, and the whole village was killed. β
The pupils of the coral listening intently shrink suddenly!
Seeing the Yin Dao, he frowned imperceptibly, and his voice was still extremely calm: "Tell me the details, Naraku." What do you see in the Demon Slayer Village? β
"Yes! In addition to the corpses of the villagers, I also saw the yokai that attacked the village, as well as ...... A shrine maiden who should have died fifty years ago, but was resurrected for some reason......" Naraku, dressed in baboon fur, whispered, the corners of her mouth slightly raised under her hidden face. There was an unprecedented high of desire in his heart that had been dormant for fifty years, and there was a strong sense of jealousy: what was the relationship between that youkai and Kikyo?!
"Their purpose should be the Jade of the Four Souls, but now the jade has been scattered into pieces......"
"The Jade of the Four Souls? I think I've heard that the girl ...... Is there a jade of the four souls in the village of Coral? Seeing the Yin Knife, he frowned and asked.
"There should be a village of demon slayers, which is why the village was slaughtered by the monsters and the black witch. Pity that girl, not only did she lose her father and brother, but she also became homeless......" Naraku sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she quietly used all kinds of seductive language to tell the so-called facts that did not exist.
Sure enough, with a swipe in the next moment, the curtain behind the Yin Knife was torn off!
"Coral ......"
"Put my weapon ...... Give me back the flying bones! Gritting her teeth, the girl held back the tears in her eyes, "I'm going to kill...... Those two guys who attacked the village!! β
β¦β¦
That night, Naraku, who was theoretically supposed to be the only survivor of the demon slayer, rushed back to the demon slayer village overnight, and actually walked through the city lord's mansion in the dead of night.
The man in the white baboon fur quietly came to the residence of the former young city lord and the current real city lord Jianyin Dao, and after pausing outside the door, his figure flashed and entered the room. Looking at the quietly sleeping person on the couch and seeing the Yin Knife, he sneered, and then moved over silently - this young city lord was already weak and sickly, as long as he occupied the other party's body, then he would be able to obtain the appearance of a human being, instead of continuing to hide under the baboon's fur and not be able to show his true face.
If it had been before, he hadn't cared much about such things, but now he felt that he needed a human form...... Occupy what you want with your human identity and form.
Naraku felt that he had a good calculation, but he didn't know that through the inexplicable causal connection, the indescribable words and curses had struck him. Emerge from the deepest part of his psyche, inscribe his true name from the source, erode and divide the origin of his soul......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Moonlit night, under the bright moonlight.
Demon Slayer Village.
It was pitch black in the stalactite cave in the back mountain, and Pei Chen threw away the jade fragment of the four souls that emitted fluorescence in his hand, and held a torch in front to guide the witch. The stalactite cave has existed for a long, long time, and later the demon slayer set up camp here and used the cave as an abandoned garbage dump - they have a workshop where skilled craftsmen can use the bones, teeth, fur and more of the monsters as materials to make armor and weapons.
The remaining scraps are discarded and useless, and they are thrown into the deepest part of the cave.
Roughly speaking, it is a place of the same nature as the Well of Bone Eclipse on the other side of Kaede Village. The only difference is that the Well of Bone Eclipse is a special space-time node created by Pei Chen in the plural history, but this stalactite cave is......
"The original birthplace of the Jade of the Four Souls."
Having come to the end, the bones of the various monsters under the feet around him were piled up more and more, piled higher and higher, and the bellflower passed past Pei Chen, and walked straight forward, staring at the large area of things that looked like stone sculptures and like a mixture of solidified corpses. It was the corpses of countless various limbs, including ghosts, dragons, earth spiders, and other youkai, inexplicably fused together, and at the top was the part like the mummy of a human woman.
"This is the final result of the fusion of the soul of herself and the monster in the struggle between the shrine maiden Tsuiko and the monster......" Kikyo muttered to herself, looking at the large hole that appeared in the heart of the human woman's mummy by the light of the torch in Pei Chen's hand, "The extremely powerful Baoyu was born from there......"
"Yes, yes......" Pei Chen echoed casually, stomping his foot, and a faint shock wave spread out, re-dispersing the resentment that had just been agitated by the fragment of the Four Souls Jade in his hand.
As if sensing his actions, Kikyo retracted his mind and turned back and asked softly, "Is there no problem?" β
"Don't worry, even if they are all resurrected in full condition, I can send them all back to their hometown with one hand!" Pei Chen nodded again and again, gave a thumbs up and blinked. "It's Kikyo, do you have any clue?"
The shrine maiden shook her head slightly, her expression hesitant: "Not yet...... It's a long-term thing, and I'm not sure if it's really the right thing to do, or if it's ...... Take your time! β
"You can't take your time, those villagers don't have a good opinion of us, and now a certain vengeful girl has come back from the night rush, and if you don't decide, you will be in trouble again." Pei Chen said with a sigh, feeling infinitely sorry for the moral level of the people here in the demon slayer village, and sighed.
- I and the others obviously saved the lives of the whole village, but the other party refused to give even a few pieces of jade, and had to beat people and rob them by themselves...... Who are these people? No quality!
Kikyo didn't speak, just glanced at the youkai, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"Ahem, okay, okay, whatever you want...... I promise that as long as it is your wish, as long as you want to stay here and think clearly before making a decision, then no one will be able to disturb you in advance. There were some unnatural coughs twice, and Pei Chen made a confident assurance, which is also a fact that will inevitably happen.
"Anyway, what did you do to that puppet clone of Naraku today?" The shrine maiden didn't answer, but just turned her head away and started a different topic.
"It's just a curse...... It will soon work. Doesn't his doppelganger always have a dissent, overt or covert, and want to be independent? I'll help him...... The doppelgangers are all right......" The youkai suddenly lowered its head as if in grief and let out a long sigh.
His face was hidden in the shadow under his bangs, and it was impossible to see the specific expression.
However, the bellflower can still be seen, and the slightly raised corners of the mouth outline a trace of cunning arc.
