Layers of enchantment dissolve and shuttle before our eyes.

He grabbed me and rushed forward until we all fell to the ground, and when I looked back, the barrier behind me had long since disappeared into a thick door.

"Honeyworm, are you alright?"

I shook my head, patted the dust off my body and stood up.

Before I could stand firm, thousands of foxes rushed towards us—

Qingming hugged me tightly in front of me, and the folding fan in his hand shone out.

"Scatter!"

The golden light flashed, and he waved the folding fan in his hand, and the "bellflower print" was instantly pressed away.

Seeing a group of foxes pressing down, another large group attacked us.

Qingming kept waving the folding fan in his hand, these foxes seemed to have no life, and soon a new batch would appear when they disappeared, blocking the entrance of the cave and not letting us in, staring at us.

"How can there be so many foxes in the cave?"

"Don't panic, it's an illusion."

"Vision?"

"But if you're attacked by an illusion, you'll still get hurt."

Qing Mingfu hugged me a little tighter, carefully protecting me and constantly using the charm to suppress the attacking fox.

A round thing was stuffed into his hand.

"Take it."

"What is it?"

"Protect your artifact."

Spread out the palm of your hand, and the palm of your hand was a spirit bead, emitting a mysterious glow in the dark cave.

"No, sunny ......"

"Put it away."

"The spirit bead should be used by someone who is really capable, it is a waste to me."

"I'm more afraid you'll get hurt."

Qingming was resolute, this was the first time I had seen him so stubborn, and I would not allow me to argue.

"Promise me honeyworm and don't worry me anymore."

In a deep voice, I saw the worry in his eyes and the blood on his shoulders. The barrier in front of Tamamo hurt Harumi a lot, and his wounds widened every minute. The wound that had just healed was deteriorating, and if he didn't find the emperor's soul and leave here quickly, there was a good chance that Harumi wouldn't be able to hold it out.

Helpless, I could only nod my head, hoping that Qingming finally showed a hint of relaxation.

Kazuharu stared ahead with bated breath, the defeated fox herd was expanding. These foxes are lifeless, and our attacks are like mud cows entering the sea to accelerate their growth.

Quietly injecting the power in my hand into the spirit bead, I silently recited the mantra in the hope that the spirit bead would give me strength and take me and Qingming out of the predicament.

Opening the spirit bead in my hand, I looked straight ahead, aimed at the center of the fox group, concentrating, holding my breath, and chanting the mantra "Pro, Soldier, Fight, One, All, Array, Column, In, Front!" ”

Qingming understood my intentions and stared ahead with me, injecting telekinesis.

"Demons, demons, scatter—"

The spirit bead burst out with a strong light, quickly breaking through the source of the illusion. Countless foxes disappeared into the light, and the spirit beads opened the passage for us.

"Great!"

"Not bad."

Qingming gave me an approving look. Sure enough, after having the spirit bead, my strength has doubled, and I can do things that Qingming may not be able to do.

Glancing at him, there was more encouragement and relief in our eyes. As long as there is confidence, there is great strength in unity. Maybe we'll make it through Tamamo.

At all times, the most important thing for Qingming is to protect me. Lingzhu is a precious treasure that many people dream of. But he gave it to me countless times. I must work hard not to disappoint him, so that the spirit bead is truly worth the money.

Thinking like this, my heart is not reluctantly bigger, and even my steps become more determined.

Walking side by side with Qingming in the cave, careful with every step, there is a lot of danger here, and none of us know what will happen in the next second. Tamamo's previous skills are not something we can ignore, even after her death, her enchantment is still intact and so powerful!

"Honey worm, be careful."

"Hmm"

I nodded intently.

I always thought that it was impossible to see and listen to all directions, but I didn't expect to do it in this cave. It can be seen that the situation is pressing.

Carefully lean out for a step.

One more step out.

Qingming didn't worry about me, and reached out to grab me. Just in case, he could have grabbed me in time.

And his heart to the throat and eyes here!

Quiet, quiet, the most photographable word is quiet. Because – you never know what's going to happen in the next second!

One more step out.

"Ahh

The cold is unguarded and suddenly loosens under the feet -

Qingming and I fell one after another.

"Honey worms!"

A slash of light came to hide Qingming's outstretched hand.

His figure is gone!

"Qingming—"

I watched him disappear in front of me. I, on the other hand, fell at an uncontrollable speed.

Plunge into endless darkness......

When I woke up again—

Darkness, darkness, and darkness.

I panicked, how is Qingming doing?

Still alive?

"Qingming!"

"Qingming!"

I shouted everywhere, but I couldn't hear him respond.

"Sunny ...... Don't scare me......"

I wiped a handful of tears from my eyes.

Could that light be an attack?

Sunny ...... He was hacked to death by the light......

No, it won't!

Phew...... I'm crow's mouth!

Qingming won't die.

He's not going to die!

It's my imagination.

It's that I'm thinking too much......

Tears still fell uncontrollably.

"Qingming!"

"Qingming!"

I kept calling out to him in secret words, but the spell I cast didn't reply.

I didn't get any response from him, not even ...... His presence is not perceptible.

His aura was completely gone!

Don't panic, I stroked my chest. In history, Abe Harumi will live to marry Sharo, and now Sharo hasn't even entered the door, how could he die?

This must be the barrier in front of Tamamo, isolating our news.

As long as I haven't seen Qingming, I can't make a decisive decision. He must be trapped in some kind of enchantment at this moment, just as anxious as I am. I believe that he will definitely protect himself and be safe and sound.

Let's not worry about each other, in different enchantments, we will definitely find faster. We have to find the Emperor's soul before the other party, and only in this way can the barrier in front of Tamamo be broken as soon as possible, protect the Emperor, protect peace, and protect ...... Clear.

This is the only ...... A way to save each other.

If you don't hurry up, Qingmei will almost be unable to hold on, and the emperor is also in danger.

Thinking of this, I can't help but quicken my steps.

In the dark tunnel, the road leads in all directions.

I clenched the bead tightly, and my palms were sweaty. I'm standing in the tunnel uncovered, and any attack could hit me directly!

But for the sake of Harumi and the emperor, I had to fight!

This is no more than the last time the hundred ghosts walked in the ghost cave at night, there is still room to dodge, and if I dodge, I will miss the opportunity to get the emperor's soul. No matter what enemy I encounter, I can only fight calmly.

Even if I am in danger, I will protect Qingming and protect safety!

My footsteps gradually lightened, and I moved forward step by step, my heart fluttering, and I didn't dare to breathe. The spirit bead in my hand is constantly transmitting power, and there seems to be a huge power hidden in this calm lurk, waiting for me to explode and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

Before I knew it, I walked to the front, and there was a door at the very end of the hole.

I looked back at the tunnel behind me, and it was pitch black. On my way, I was fortunate not to be attacked by a single youkai.

But...... The calmer it is, the weirder it gets.

It's a long way from the way you came, and if you look for it, you may not be able to go back the way you came. And - I won't go back the way I came!

My heart was crossed, I gritted my teeth, and I pushed the door open hard-

"Squeak".

"Sister Tamamo!"

The little fox and I froze.

The little fox's face collapsed instantly, and his innocent eyes were full of disappointment and tears flashed: "Why are you?" It seems that Sister Tamamo won't be coming back......"

In front of me was a small fluffy fox, just over half a man tall. looks childish, childish has not yet taken off, and looks pitiful.

The little fox hugged the ball and trembled: "What are you going to do!" ”

I was surprised: "This is the soul of the emperor?" ”

The spirit of the emperor is turned into a translucent ball in the hands of a little fox, which is very eye-catching.

The little fox hugged his soul and took a step back: "You are a bad person, Su Qi will not give it to you!" ”

"Su Qi? Your name is Su Qi? ”

I'm excited. The little fox in front of me is so cute, I really can't confuse it with the bad guys.

"You're all bad guys, and you all know how to bully Sister Tamamo. ５５５…… Su Qi won't let it go to you. ”

"Tamamo? You call her sister? ”

"That's right, Sister Yuzao is good to Su Qi. Su Qi won't give it to you, Su Qi promised her sister that she would protect it. ”

The little fox was aggrieved, put his soul on his chest and hugged it a few more points, and took a few steps back to look at me cautiously.

It's probably afraid of me......

I can't bear it, now I'm embarrassing a child, insisting on snatching "its things" from it.

"Su Qi, tell me about your family?"

"Su Qi has no family......

"Huh?"

"It was Sister Tamamo who saved me."

The little fox looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Sister Yuzao is really not bad, don't bully her, okay?"

“……”

"Su Qi knows that he can't beat you, so he can only beg his sister to let Su Qi go. After all, this is Sister Tamamo's last wish......"

I can't bear it, looking at it, its pity is not pretended.

"Sister Yuzao just wants to save the king, but in fact, she is very kind-hearted. We were homeless that day, and it was Sister Yuzao who begged King Su to repair Lutai, so that we had a place to live. Later, I found out how much this incident affected Sister Tamamo. ”

"My sister wants to save the king, and our family was originally ready to help. But my sister was afraid that it would affect us, so she threw us all out, leaving me alone to take care of the emperor's soul. Otherwise, Su Qi would not have come to beg you in isolation at all. It's because Sister Yuzao is too kind to bear that we get hurt, so you have the opportunity to come here and talk to Su Qi. ”

The little fox choked back tears and his face was full of grievances.

It has a point. If the nest in front of Tamamo is still here, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to get in. Aside from the illusion she had used when she first came in, it was indeed a small fox left in the cave.

Tamamo couldn't bear to hurt them, so Qingming and I had a chance to take advantage of it. Otherwise, I am afraid that I would have died in Huangquan long ago......

I stood in silence, Tamamo was indeed very kind and infatuated. To some extent, the emperor did lose Tamamo Mae, which caused her to be so reckless that she caused today's irreparable situation.

On one side is the little fox and conscience, and on the other side is the emperor and Yamato. I couldn't hesitate.

"It's the emperor's big brother who is sorry for my sister, and my sister will be like this."

"Su Qi, no matter whether the emperor is right or wrong, he can be forgiven and forgiven."

"Why!"

The little fox was not convinced, and argued with reason.

"Leave the Emperor's soul to me."

I reached out to it and said in a serious, even pleading voice.

The safety of peace and the safety of the clear sky all depend on it. There's really no way I can stall here and reason with it. It's too small to understand. Only when it grows up will it slowly understand what Qingming and I have done today.

"No, no......"

The little fox retreated in terror.

As the minutes passed, the cave became brighter again, and the day passed......

Today is the last day.
